Chapter 19: Rescue, Surprise
When the poisonous insect landed on his body, Tang Ning only had one feeling, the sky was going to kill me.
The slippery touch on her arm made her take a hard breath and wanted to break her arm to save herself, but when she picked up a knife next to her and wanted to break her arm, she found that the place where her skin was touched by poisonous insects did not turn black.
The large glowing leeches were crawling towards another place, and soon, a cool sensation came from their arms.
Downing looked down and found that the place where she had been cut a deep wound had miraculously healed!!
The poisonous leech actually repaired the wound on her arm!
At this moment, there was a cold touch on Tang Ning's **** feet, and a toad with a dark blue halo wiped her feet with her back, and the accidentally scratched feet were as white as ever.
Li Cheng originally wanted to see how Tang Ning was poisoned and died, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help laughing.
What did he see, and what did he really see?
How so, how so!
"Downing!" Using the inside to sweep those things off Tang Ning's body, Li Zhan took her into his arms and carefully checked whether there were any injuries all over his body.
"I'm fine, you let go." There was also Li Cheng at the scene, Tang Ning was not wearing much, and Li Zhan almost exposed his body.
Tang Ning's sturdy fist fell on Li Zhan, if he had deep internal strength, he would have been smashed by Tang Ning and vomited blood.
"Then let's go back first." Li Zhan said, hugged Tang Ning and got up. But Li Cheng pounced like crazy.
When it comes to internal strength, Li Zhan and Li Cheng are on par, but when it comes to moves, Li Zhan has won a lot. Seeing that Li Cheng insisted on making trouble, he jumped in the air with Tang Ning in his arms, his body changed in the air, fell behind Li Cheng, and kicked him off the boat at once.
"King Li, I'm sorry." At this moment, a black man came out of the shadows with lightning speed, caught Li Cheng, who was about to fall into the water, and walked on the water to the other side of the river.
"If you want to protect him, you'd better let him appear less in front of me in the future, otherwise!" Li Zhan used his internal force to send his words down, and it took a long time for a reply to come from the wind, "Understood." ”
When Li Zhan and Li Cheng were fighting, the poisonous insects on the bed no longer knew where they went, as if they had evaporated all at once.
Li Zhan made a few gestures to the dark guard, then jumped into the darkness with him in his arms and returned to the palace.
After Li Zhan left, several boats on the riverbank suddenly caught fire and quickly turned to ashes, not only that, but the owner of the boat was also reported and imprisoned that night.
The situation in the imperial court has also undergone some changes, and the officials who had previously supported the second prince Li Cheng suddenly defected, listing many crimes, and Li Cheng was dismissed from the palace and was not allowed to go out at will.
Because Tang Ning had been soaking in cold water for too long, he had a fever that night, and the high fever did not go away all night, and he kept talking nonsense.
"Don't, don't die......"
"How can you die?"
Li Zhan didn't know what Tang Ning dreamed of, but her sad expression made Li Zhan feel distressed.
But when a name called "Shaoyang" was repeatedly mentioned by Tang Ning, Li Zhan's face darkened.
This woman actually called other men's names in her dreams, which is simply ...... Shameless.
Tang Ning naturally didn't know that her fever caused Li Zhan's heart to soften, and he was even able to return because of her few dream words.
"Woman, who is Shaoyang?" Li Zhan pinched Tang Ning's neck, his face full of anger.
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Tang Ning, who was still in a coma, struggled unconsciously in his sleep, his face was suffocated, but because of the weakness of his hands and feet, he had no way to resist, he could only breathe hard like a dehydrated fish, with a long mouth.
"Woman, this king really wants to strangle you now!" Li Zhan looked at Tang Ning, the hatred in his heart made him continue to increase the strength of his injury, but after seeing the woman's face blackened, when he was about to succeed, he threw away his hand in vain and left angrily.
"People...... Do you still want to save it......" The imperial doctor who was kneeling next to him couldn't help but muttered when he saw Li Zhan like this.
The world said how much King Li loved his side concubine, but now it seems that ...... It doesn't seem to be like that......
Of course, he didn't hear the conversation between the two of them......
"Don't let her die!" Li Zhan threw down this sentence and left.
Don't let her die, but I didn't say let her live.
The imperial doctor could only use medicine to hang Tang Ning's life and reduce her fever, but did not let her recover.
In late spring, the water is cold. Tang Ning soaked in water for the antidote, which was not a serious illness, but because she was weak, Li Zhan did not let the imperial doctor try his best to treat her, and as a result, she lay in bed for half a month before she could barely get out of bed.
In the half month when Tang Ning was seriously ill, it could be said that there was a storm outside, and Li Zhan's anger could not be vented on the people lying on the bed, and the others were unlucky.
Many important positions in the imperial court were frequently replaced, and the power of the second prince Li Cheng was hit like never before. He loved reading since he was a child, liked to make friends with literati, and was always respected by the scholars of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but now it is rumored that he does not respect literati and sells his reputation, and some people say that his poems that circulate in the market are not written by himself......
Li Cheng, although he clarified the message, he was powerless to resist the rhetoric of the crowd. Many of the flesh and blood literati in his camp began to distance themselves from him...... The second prince's faction thought that this was all framed by the eldest prince behind his back, so they began to attack it violently, and the situation in the court was tense for a while.
Li Xiaotian, the emperor of Northern Qi, sat on the throne in the imperial study, looking at the person who had just refuted him, and his whole body trembled with anger.
"Bastard, how did you promise me that Li Cheng was your brother, and you actually put him to death. The current power of Northern Qi is not strong, you stir up the imperial court so much, what do you want to do! ”
"What to do, I'm just doing something for Your Majesty to see, so that Your Majesty won't be messing around in the dark. Your Majesty turned his back on my mother for the sake of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and he must now give up his new love for the stability of the Northern Qi Dynasty. The word "new love", Li Zhan emphasized the tone.
"What do you mean?" The Northern Qi Emperor naturally knew what Li Zhan was referring to.
"What I mean couldn't be clearer, if the emperor moves my side concubine, I will ......" threatening words, Li Zhan did not say the second half of the sentence, but I believe both sides understand.
"Ahem...... Rebel, you actually use such an unbearable mind like me, if it weren't for your mother's face, I would have slaughtered you little beast a long time ago! The Northern Qi Emperor looked at Li Zhan and began to cough angrily.
Although the Northern Qi Emperor approached Tang Yan with a purpose, and later obtained her means that were a little despicable, he really liked that woman, and after she entered the palace, he loved her in every way, although he only gave her the title of concubine, but the harem was the most honored by her.
For Li Zhan, he originally wanted to be crowned king at a young age, but Tang Yan took the initiative to ask for it.
After Tang Yan died, he regretted all kinds of things, and tried every possible way to compensate Li Zhan, but this person didn't want anything, he just wanted to do it alone, and he always worked with him. The Northern Qi Emperor always connived at him because he was ashamed of him, but now he ......
"Brutes, who are brutes. Even his son's wife thought about it. Father, are you still human! ”
"Li Zhan, am I in this image in your heart?" Listening to Li Zhan's increasingly fierce words, Li Xiaotian, the emperor of Northern Qi, picked up the teacup on the imperial case and threw it over.
"No, you don't even have this image in your heart."
Looking at the thing thrown by the Northern Qi Emperor, Li Zhan didn't hide, and let the thing pass by his head, but his words were even more intense.
Northern Qi Emperor Li Xiaotian originally had no intention of hurting him, but when he saw the scene just now, he couldn't help but regret it in his heart.
Li Zhan is a continuation of Tang Yan in his heart, he loves Tang Yan so much, how could he bear to let her child be hurt. What's more, Tang Yan still misses this child so much.
Looking at Li Zhan, the Northern Qi Emperor held the handle on the throne with both hands, closed his eyes and lay back for a while, calming down his anger before slowly speaking.
"Zhan'er, I'm sorry for Yan'er, I'm sorry for your mother, but I already regret it. Otherwise, with your good export to me over the years, you would have died many times. You are different from others, you are my son, and everyone else is a prince. "The son and the prince are not of the same grade at all.
"I said, if you want to do anything, I can be tolerant, but the premise is that I want this Northern Qi Jiangshan to continue to be surnamed Li! Jiangshan, this is a responsibility. As a man, the most important thing is responsibility, and secondly, he is himself. Zhan'er, when you ascend to the throne one day, you will understand my painstaking efforts. ”
"I have said that Yan'er is the only woman I have ever loved, and she is and will be. She is irreplaceable. Otherwise, none of the women who appeared in my harem looked like her. ”
"Zhan'er, you make me feel cold......
"The grievances between Northern Qi and Tangmen will never be accepted, Zhan'er, if you love that woman, let her go, because ......"
Before the Northern Qi Emperor finished speaking, Li Zhan opened his mouth to refute, "If you can't keep a woman, Your Majesty has no ability." If Your Majesty is really strong, why should he be forced to let go! ”
"People from the Tang Sect, I want to kill and avenge my mother. But that woman, I want it too. I want her to stay with me and live in hell. Tang Men owes me, I want her back! ”
"I'm not going to let her leave me, no!" Li Zhan said to the end and began to roar.
"Strong?" Seeing that Li Zhan's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, Li Xiaotian sneered, his son really didn't know how thick the sky was.
"Li Zhan, you'd better become stronger first and then reason with me. Don't think you're capable, I've given you everything, and in the same way, you can take it back completely! ”
"Also, about the Northwest, you'd better pay attention to me. Even if you are angry with me, there is no need to joke about your future and the country of Northern Qi. With me, you can still live well. After so many years, without covering you, what can you do with a stunned boy, don't you think it's a little too easy for you to seize power in the Northwest Army? ”
The father and son originally lacked communication, and the Northern Qi Emperor, who had vented his emotions, slowly calmed down and regained his due momentum as an emperor.
"Father, is this a denial of all the previous efforts of the son?" Li Zhan is rarely commensurate with the father and son of the Northern Qi Emperor, and now he is called a bit ironic.
Could it be that as long as he is the child of the Northern Qi Emperor, he can get the military power in the northwest?
"I'm here to tell you what to do now and what not to do." After the Northern Qi Emperor was strong, his voice began to be reassured, "Rong Di's little princess came to kiss, and I wanted to see you many times in the post house, but you refused to see you." Zhan'er, your temper is too big. ”
"What the hell is Your Majesty going to say?!"
"I want to tell you that after three days, the two countries will be peaceful, and you should assume the responsibility of being a prince."
"But I just want to be a general."
"You don't have to go to the banquet, unless, you want Downing to die!"
The murderous aura between the words of the Northern Qi Emperor made Li Zhan's eyes widen inexplicably.
He realized the cruelty of this person, and the murderous aura that overflowed from the moment the Northern Qi Emperor spoke told him that he really wanted Tang Ning to die!
