Chapter 50: Can't Swallow This Breath
When Hongling woke up, it was already noon on the second day, Xiaoqing saw that Hongling opened her eyes, so she leaned against the bed and handed her a cup of tea, Hongling licked the corners of her chapped mouth, and then took it and drank it all, Xiaoqing took the medicine from the table next to her and handed it to her, Hongling pouted and begged Xiaoqing for mercy with watery eyes full of resistance, Xiaoqing looked at Hongling lightly, "Miss, you slowly drank this bowl of medicine, I'll go find the prince to come over", and left the dormitory without looking back.
Hongling looked at Xiaoqing's back in puzzlement, when did Xiaoqing become so dignified, she should cry in front of me at this time and say something, Hongling puffed out her cheeks, looked at the bowl of black decoction in her hand, stretched out her tongue a little and licked it, and immediately wrinkled her facial features and shrunk her neck, feeling that she should be recovering well, so she threw the medicine bowl on the table, the injury on her left calf was not complete, but she moved it tentatively and felt that it hurt.
"Someone, anyone?"
The maidservant guarding the door heard Hongling's call and pushed the door in, "What do you want from the princess?" ”
"Bring me some pastries and tea"
The maid obediently responded with an expressionless face, and brought the pastries and tea over in a moment, Hongling felt a little strange in her heart, but she couldn't think of anything wrong, so she simply put aside her doubts and threw herself into the feast.
Xiaoqing led Chen Jinye back to the courtyard, Chen Jinye raised his voice gloomily and asked, "How is Xiuxiu?" ”
"Lord Qiyu, the swelling on Xiuxiu's face has subsided a little, and it can be roughly recognized, but it is just ......"
"I'll go to see Xiuxiu first, you go to wait for the princess."
Xiaoqing respectfully looked at Chen Jinye walking towards Xiuxiu's room step by step, and couldn't help but feel relieved for Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu was right, the prince was really a good person.
As soon as Xiaoqing stepped into Hongling's dormitory, she saw that she was eating and drinking in bed so unhappy, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, so she pursed her mouth and moved a few steps to Hongling's side, and just wanted to pour water for her, she saw that the bowl of carefully boiled medicine was abandoned in good condition. Xiao Qing was instantly filled with a nameless anger and grievance.
"Miss, why don't you drink the medicine?"
Hongling heard Xiaoqing's soft voice, smiled and said, "Xiaoqing, this pastry is delicious."
"Miss, let me ask you, why don't you drink medicine?"
Hong Ling frowned slightly, and said coquettishly: "emmm... Xiaoqing's medicine is so bitter, I don't want to drink it."
Xiaoqing pursed her lips, twisted her head, stared at Hongling, her eyes were gradually filled with crystalline things, Hongling felt very uncomfortable when she saw her awkward appearance, "Xiaoqing, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Heh... What's wrong with me? Miss, what's wrong with me, you ask? Since I came to Nanzhao, Miss will always get hurt, I feel sorry for you, and I am sad that I am always useless and can't help you. But yesterday's incident, you clearly have a lot of choices, you can not agree to Luo, or you can go to the prince, but you chose the worst option. When I saw Xiuxiu being beaten half-dead, when I saw you dragging your injured leg wet and unable to move, do you know how much I hate myself for not insisting on letting you go to the prince, and how much I hate myself for being able to watch powerlessly when you are injured, Xiuxiu is already like that, but you still don't drink medicine willfully, do you know how uncomfortable I am? ”
"Xiuxiu? How could she be beaten? ”
The crystal in Xiaoqing's eyes finally fell to the ground, "Miss, you don't know ......", saying that Xiaoqing knelt weakly under Hongling's bed, "Xiuxiu was beaten by Xiaocui and others and sent back to the hospital, the doctor said, he said that Xiuxiu was seriously injured, and he didn't know if he could be saved."
The bean cake in Hongling's hand slowly slipped out of her hand, and her mind stayed there as if she was empty, Xiuxiu was beaten because of her momentary mood......
"Help me get out of bed, let me go see Xiuxiu", Hongling struggled to lift the quilt, moved her legs out a few points in pain, and gestured to stand up.
Xiaoqing bit her lip, touched the tears on her face indiscriminately, quickly stood up, picked up the medicine bowl on the side, and handed it to Hongling, "Miss, you drink the medicine first."
Hongling looked at Xiaoqing, who had always loved to cry, pretending to be strong, obediently took the medicine bowl, drank it all, and the bitterness in her mouth wrinkled, "Help me go to see Xiuxiu."
"No need!" , Chen Jinye's deep voice fell suddenly, and he walked to Hongling's bed in a few steps with an unkind face, "People always have to pay for their choices, maybe it was a mistake for me to choose to cooperate with you in the first place."
Hongling raised her head and looked at him, his dark eyes stared at her unfathomably, "I mistakenly thought that you could deal with Luo, Xiuxiu and I will be responsible, you can just take care of your injuries here, and the rest, wait until Xiuxiu is better." After Chen Jinye finished speaking, he slowly stepped forward and put Hongling's legs on the quilt and covered them with a quilt, tucked the corners of the quilt slightly, slowly picked up the bean cake that fell on the ground and put it on the table on the side, looked at her deeply, and then turned to leave.
Hongling sat on the bed in a daze, staring at the back of Chen Jinye leaving, coming to this world, she felt a deep powerlessness and guilt for the first time, if she was not so willful and should fall into the rain, Xiuxiu would not have been so seriously injured.
After a while, Hongling slowly straightened up, looked at Xiaoqing beggingly, and said lightly: "Xiaoqing, will you let me go and see Xiuxiu?" ”
Xiaoqing bit her lower lip to remove the pastry and tea in front of Hongling, and slowly lifted the quilt on her body, Hongling cooperated to move her legs out, Xiaoqing squatted down slightly, "Miss, you lie on my back, I'll carry you over", Hongling looked at Xiaoqing's not generous back in a daze, frowned slightly, obediently put her hand on her back, and let her carry herself.
Xiaoqing put Hongling on a low chair next to Xiuxiu's bed, Xiuxiu on the bed drooped her eyelashes, there were purple-red ecchymosis on her forehead, her left eye was swollen with blood, the swelling on her face had subsided, earthworm-like scratches snaked on her cheeks and connected to her ears, her lips were covered with bite scars, and the corners of her upper lip bulged unnaturally to the side.
Hongling stretched out her hand and gently probed Xiuxiu's still intact chin, and murmured: "How could they be so ruthless", her hand was already trembling and she didn't know where to put it, Xiaoqing covered her eyes and turned around, quietly wiping her tears.
Hongling slowly clenched her fists and withdrew her hand, staring at Xiuxiu motionlessly with her eyes, just staring at it all the time, time passed minute by minute, Hongling sat there like a sculpture, without saying a word, Xiaoqing suppressed her voice and cried for a long, long time, before she eased her emotions a little, and put her hand on Hongling's shoulder, "Miss, I'll carry you back."
"Xiaoqing, do you want revenge?"
Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, slowly gritted her teeth, and said with the determination to die: "I want to"
Hongling turned her head and glanced at Xiaoqing lightly, "Carry me back."
......
"Master, can you help me save someone?"
Zou Shi glanced at Chen Jinye lazily and snorted a few times, "That's when you can remember that there is another master here."
"Master......"
Zou Shi frowned and interrupted Chen Jinye impatiently, "Don't talk nonsense, who to save?" ”
"It's a maid in my house, she is the only bloodline left by the Cai family, and she has been incognito in my house, so I can only wait until late at night to take you to see her"
Zou Shi frowned and snorted coldly, "You royal have a lot of fucking things, and you have to be sneaky to see a doctor", after that, before Chen Jinye could intervene, he kicked him in the ass, "It's okay now, right?" ”
Chen Jinye stood in front of Zou Shi fixedly, and replied obediently: "It's okay."
"Then I'm still stunned here, don't go in and read the book quickly, there are still three or four hours, enough for you to finish reading the basic medicine book, if it's not good-looking, then the maid is the king of heaven Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will not save it!" After that, Zou Shi angrily took the fishing rod and went to the pond to fish.
Chen Jinye respectfully watched him leave, helplessly supported his forehead, turned around and entered Zou Shi's room as if resigned to his fate, and took out the unfinished basic medicine book last time and studied it carefully.
Three hours later, Zou Shi woke up from sleep on the recliner outside, yawned, and slowly walked into the room, "How are you looking?" ”
Chen Jinye greeted Zou Shi with a happy face, "Master, the apprentice has memorized it, I don't believe you will take the exam", Zou Shi squinted his eyes and looked Chen Jinye up and down a few times, and said very disdainfully: "What is it to memorize it now, if you still remember it next time you come, it will be regarded as memorized." Seeing that Zou Shi's face softened slightly, Chen Jinye saw the opportunity and said, "Master, it's almost time, why don't we leave."
The two of them performed light skills, and in a few jumps, they walked through a large block, came to the prince's mansion, tiptoed into Hongling's courtyard, and quietly entered Xiuxiu's room.
Zou Shi took advantage of the moonlight to take a closer look at the injury on Xiuxiu's face, and couldn't help but sigh: "Who is so vicious and beats a girl like this", then his nose shrank twice, and he slowly glanced at Chen Jinye, "It seems that you gave her my ointment, yes, it was used in time."
After that, Zou Shi sat down and touched Xiuxiu's pulse, and said: "She has a good physical foundation, she can be regarded as preserving her foundation, you continue to rub the ointment on her, and you will go back with me later, take some of my secret Huoluo Pill, and give it to her on time every day, and she will wake up in less than three days."
"So, isn't she seriously injured?"
"What is not serious, she has lost so much blood, I am afraid that the whole head is a hematoma, and it is said that ordinary people can't live, if you don't give her medicine in time, I'm afraid she will be more auspicious." Okay, that's it, let's go."
Chen Jinye touched his nose in a daze, followed closely behind Zou Shi, went to the Tai Hospital to get the medicine back, and returned to Xiuxiu's room without stopping, put the Huoluo Pill into Xiuxiu's mouth, and pushed the pill into her throat with internal force, fed her a little water, and then left quietly.
