Chapter 49: The Wound
"Yinghua Baojian" can be described as a strange book.
This book doesn't contain any academic questions, just for entertainment.
It has elegant rhetoric and vivid content, and appreciates beautiful men from all over the world with romantic but not obscene brushstrokes.
As a woman who is familiar with "Yinghua Baojian", Princess Xu Huai has always felt that there is a big flaw in this book, that is, "there are no paintings in the book".
Therefore, she originally held a mood of shyness and curiosity, curiosity mixed with excitement, and planned to take a closer look at whether Xu Huaijing, the "Xia Lang", was as pleasing to the eye as described in the book after removing his shirt.
But when Xu Huaijing's back with new wounds and old marks was exposed in front of her eyes, those heartless curiosity and excitement disappeared in an instant.
Although she had long guessed that Xu Huaijing was not having a good time, but seeing these painful marks with her own eyes, Princess Xu Huai was still sympathetic to it and couldn't help but want to tear bitter tears. "It's all ...... How did you get hurt? ”
"Where is the left shoulder? Cut down by the Liao army. ”
In fact, in addition to the two stab wounds on his left shoulder, he also had small old marks on his back that were clearly caused by different objects.
Although it was not as hideous as the two stab wounds on his left shoulder, it was messy and dense. It was shocking and distressing to watch.
Princess Xu Huai pursed her lips and asked in a low voice, "Then, what about the others?" ”
Xu Huaijing, who was lying on his stomach, did not look back. "It's all about hours, and I can't tell how they came about."
It's not that I don't remember, it's that I can't tell the difference.
In other words, the number of beatings is too frequent, so it is impossible to tell which wound is left which one.
Princess Xu Huai was suffocated: "It's all before being brought to the palace, right?" ”
Judging from many clues, after the Empress Dowager took Xu Huaijing to the palace, although she did not care for him meticulously and eagerly, she provided food, clothing, housing, transportation, study and martial arts according to the regulations of a normal prince.
"Hmm."
Princess Xu Huai pinched the needle and prepared to pick out the thorns for him, but when she heard his soft response, she couldn't do it for a long time.
Because her heart is unsettled and her hands are unstable, she has to take it slowly.
She took a deep breath: "Qian Zhaoyi treated you like this before, does your father know?" ”
Xu Huaijing said lightly: "Sometimes I know." ”
Princess Xu Huai became more and more unhappy with Xu Huai when she was a child: "He doesn't care if he knows?!" ”
"It doesn't matter if it's snowy." Xu Huaijing has no sorrow or joy, and it is an understatement.
Princess Xu Huai pressed her fingers against the slightly moist corners of her eyes, once again confirming that the emperor was definitely a madman at least when treating Xu Huaijing.
Looking at the world today, every country has an unfavored heir. But no matter how unfavored he is, he is also the heir of the emperor.
According to common sense, it is nothing more than a point of being left out in the cold, a point of material shortage, a point of lack of power, and a point of uncertainty about the future. That's the worst of all.
Anyway, Princess Xu Huai has grown up so big, and she has never heard of an emperor who would condone others to abuse her young heirs in this way.
Because of the connivance of the first emperor, the current Xu Kangdi also has some prejudice against Xu Huaijing.
Princess Xu Huai blurted out: "It's a pity ......"
"What a pity?" Xu Huaijing looked back.
She hooked her lips speechlessly, full of regret.
It's a pity that you were unlucky, and you didn't meet the former Princess Xu Huai, who had the ability to protect the weak behind you.
The fine needle picks out the thorns, which seem to be light, but in fact, it hurts just by looking at them.
Princess Xu Huai, who was holding the needle, frequently gasped, "hissed" non-stop, and had to close her eyes slowly after picking two or three times.
On the other hand, Xu Huaijing really deserves to be a person who has been on the battlefield, and he has never snorted from beginning to end.
After picking out all the thorns, Princess Xu Huai warned with a trembling voice: "It's time to apply the medicine." This ointment has a taste of nocturnal incense added to it, oh, it is the 'mint' that you Qi people say, and if you rub it on the wound, it may hurt a little. It's really a little bit. ”
It's weird. She has used this medicine herself, who knows who hurts.
"Hmm." With this single tone, Xu Huaijing's back line visibly tightened with the naked eye.
Princess Xu Huai swallowed her saliva: "In other words, I haven't taken care of anyone so much since I was a child, and my hands are raw." If the force is heavy, you shout to stop, don't eat the pain and hit people with your backhand. ”
"No, it won't."
With the assurance that he would not beat people indiscriminately, Princess Xu Huai dipped the ointment on her fingertips, and gently wiped it on his wounds.
Xu Huaijing had nothing unusual except for the stiffness of his back.
But Princess Xu Huai was unproductive, and she "hissed" and gasped.
Usually when people endure pain, they can't hear others helping them on the side. This will make the pain that can be endured invisibly magnified, and it will really help more and more.
Taking advantage of the gap between her reaching out to dip the ointment again, Xu Huaijing finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Princess Xu Huai, are you the reincarnation of the snake spirit?" ”
The current Princess Xu Huai is full of sympathy and pity for him, so not only does she not care about him, but also treats him as a child, and coaxes him softly and gently: "Okay, good, I won't 'hiss' anymore." ”
She remembered that if she bumped into her as a child, she would be blown when someone gave her medicine, as if that would help relieve the momentary stinging pain caused by the ointment.
So after applying the medicine again, I blew it on my mouth.
Unexpectedly, this blowing action made Xu Huaijing like a fried beast, flipping his body, sitting up and facing her.
The lights in the bedroom were glowing softly yellow, but Xu Huaijing's face was flushed red from nowhere.
The beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with a faint warning, and the amber pupils reflected Princess Xu Huai, who was also red-faced.
"Don't blow around." As he spoke, he frowned at Princess Xu Huai's unexplained embarrassment.
Princess Xu Huai slowly and sluggishly twisted her head to the side and forced her composure: "Got it." You, get back on your stomach. ”
Xu Huaijing lowered his eyes slightly after seeing his smooth chest......
"Bang" and fell back on his stomach.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Princess Xu Huai forcibly ignored the hot heat on her face that was about to smoke, and coaxed people with a clear conscience: "Actually, I didn't see anything. Really, you believe me. ”
It's better not to say that.
Xu Huaijing's back was stretched to the bulge, and the hands placed on both sides were clenched awkwardly.
His posture is tantamount to saying all over his body, believe that you have a ghost.
In the suffocating silence, Princess Xu Huai continued to apply the medicine, trying to hold her eyelids as hard as possible in the process, not daring to blink frequently.
Because every time she blinked, there would be an afterimage in the darkness that made her blush and her heart beat with excitement.
Until she went to bed at night, Princess Xu Huai's heart was still pounding as long as she thought of that picture.
She lay in the dark tent, raised her hand to cover her mouth tightly, but she couldn't stop the self in her heart who had never seen the world and screamed madly-
It's almost the same as what is written in "Yinghua Baojian"!
When everything is over, I still want to find an opportunity for Ziyu to go to Xu Nankui to find some more books of this type to take a good look, after all, it is still very interesting.
Although Xu Huaijing's back scars are intertwined, which makes people feel pity when they look at it, fortunately, Xu Huaijing fell asleep after taking the medicine, and Princess Xu Huai sighed secretly in her heart.
Maybe from now on, I won't dream of oblivion anymore.
