Chapter 38: The Human Heart

At night, the lights in the Qi Palace are like fireflies, and the King of Qi and the Taifu in the Qinzheng Palace are not happy to talk with each other, and the little eunuchs are hiding far away.

"Where's Liu Yi!" Liu Tao, the old lady of Qi State, said in a deep voice, "I haven't seen him these days, where did the king send him?" ”

Qi Huan, who was lazy and yawned, smiled bitterly with a wry smile on his face: "Taifu, Liu Yi is your own grandson, you don't know where he went, where does the lonely king know." Besides, his kung fu is superb, who can control him. ”

Mrs. Liu's face became more and more ugly, "The old minister has already found out that Liu Yi left the palace six days ago." It was from the king's ice chamber. What did the king tell him to do? He is the king's bodyguard, and the king does not know how. ”

Qi Huanlian yawned a long time: "Taifu, it's late at night, if you don't leave the palace, you won't be able to get out." ”

"If this matter is not clear, the old minister will not leave the palace!" Mrs. Liu had a calm face, "The king has become more and more thoughtful over the years." ”

"Look!" Qi Huan clicked on the map in front of him, "You said that you were afraid that all the orders of the Jin family would be withdrawn for fear of exposing the waterway route, and Lone also withdrew, and the letter that you said would not return to the Jin family to cancel the marriage contract did not return." Even when you sent Aunt Li out to be a substitute for the dead ghost, Lone didn't say anything. Now that you can't even find your own grandson, you come to ask Gu, and you still don't let people live......"

"Then the king told the old minister why he wanted to attack Jin Ling?" Mrs. Liu's face was full of horizontal lines, and there was only one slit left in his eyes, "The king is capable, and he can give instructions to the people arranged by the old minister." Do you know that because of your order, all of our hidden stakes in Jinling City have been withdrawn. Guang Zhen is a person who sells his reputation and is not difficult to deal with, but Su Qin, the old man behind him, is not something you can deal with. Once they find out about the Qi Kingdom, your father's years of planning will come to naught. ”

"You said you!" Mrs. Liu said that when she was excited, her fingers trembled and pointed at Qi Huan: "Where did you say that you had convulsions, and you had to attack Jin Ling?" ”

Qi Huan ignored Mrs. Liu's anger and leaned on the desk: "I'm lonely." ”

Mrs. Liu's anger became even worse: "The king has a will, if you don't want to be this king, you still have a second brother, a third brother, and a fourth brother!" ”

"Then let them do it!" Qi Huan suddenly stood up and shouted, "Don't threaten me with your life all day long!" If you don't like me, you can do it! ”

"You!" Mrs. Liu pointed at Qi Huan, and he couldn't get up in one breath, and the person stood back and sat on the chair without moving.

"Someone!" Qi Huan jumped up and kicked open the door of the hall, "Save Taifu!" ”

There was a rush of footsteps, and the eunuchs and doctors rushed in.

The eunuch Li Zhong chased Qi Huan all the way and advised: "Wang Shangming knows that Taifu has a heart disease, why should he be angry with him? What if it really can't be saved? ”

"It's just that I can't save it!" Qi Huan roared angrily, "Don't follow Lone, go and save your Taifu!" ”

Li Zhong sighed and stopped.

Qi Huan walked all the way in the palace and finally entered the ice room.

With the heavy stone door closed.

Qi Huan let out a long breath, sat on the ground, leaned on the huge ice cube, and slowly covered his palm on the ice, feeling the coldness coming from his palm.

The cold is in the bones.

It's like the night his mother died.

He was only six years old at the time.

In the ice and snow, his mother dragged him all the way to run desperately.

The murderer with the knife behind him shouted loudly: "You run, I see how far you can run, there is a kind of you entering the snow mountain, there are hungry wolves in it, and you scum will not be left." ”

The knee-high snow couldn't run fast at all, and when he saw that he was being caught up by the murderer, his emaciated mother didn't know where the strength came from, so she put him on his shoulder and ran into the snowy mountain in one go.

The shouts from behind grew farther and farther away, so far away that they couldn't even hear them.

His mother threw him into the thick snow, and he fell.

His mother never woke up.

At that time, he thought that his mother was tired, so he lay quietly in the crook of his mother's arm.

He was also extremely tired, sleepy, and afraid.

When he woke up, he found that there was no warmth in his mother's arms.

The mother's hands and face were also piercing like ice cream......

Qi Huan stroked the ice cube with his palm and let out a long breath: "Mother, you said that when people die, why do they become cold and hard?" How can the human heart be colder than ice and snow? Now that even Aunt Li is gone, she will accompany you......"

It's cold.

Qi Huan, who was wearing a big red robe, lay on the ice, his body trembled slightly, and he cried silently.

......

In the dungeon of the Jinling City Palace.

Li Yanqiu shivered involuntarily.

The broken arm doesn't hurt anymore.

It's that she doesn't care about the pain at all, and her whole body feels like she's in the fire for a while, and it's like being in the ice for a while, which is uncomfortable......

The sound of shredded footsteps could be heard in the dark dungeon.

Listen carefully, two people walking one after the other.

With the sound of footsteps, and the light of the fire approached little by little.

The jailer accompanied the gray-haired Tang Jinde and walked in slowly.

"Take a look." The jailer whispered, "Both the prince and the prince have ordered, no matter what method is used, she must not be allowed to die." If she dies, you won't live. ”

As he spoke, the jailer unlocked the cage.

As the oil lamps at the four corners were lit, Tang Jinde saw the woman wrapped in a quilt in the corner of the cell, and her whole body was trembling violently.

"She's suffering from a high fever and chills caused by an infection in the wound." Tang Jinde stepped forward and touched the woman's forehead and said, "It's dark here, it's not suitable for healing injuries......"

"It's useless for you to tell me this." The jailer said coldly, "Save people!" ”

"Hey......" Tang Jinde let out a long breath.

He must have fallen into some evil in less than half a month, he was first asked to save a girl who starved to death, then a prostitute with a broken heart, and now he wants to save a female prisoner with a broken arm and an infection, he is unlucky to come home.

He cleaned the wound, applied the medicine, pricked the needle, poured the medicine, he did everything he could.

Seeing that the woman no longer trembled and fell asleep, Tang Jinde sat in front of the bed and took out the wine jug in his arms.

The flask was put to the corner of his mouth, and he looked at the woman on the bed uneasily, making sure that the woman did not move, and did not open her eyes to look at him, so he carefully took a sip of wine.

A stream of warm wine poured into his intestines, and Tang Jin breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.

Wine with deer antler velvet is indeed different.

The starving little drunkard of the Jin family asked him to show her the wine.

The thought of the person who had already died at the time suddenly asked him for a drink made his scalp tingle.

If he could, he would never want to see that girl again.

Is it because he promised her and didn't give her wine, that God punished him like this?

Treating people is either a brothel or a death row.

That starving little drunkard must have been a ghost.

Well, if he can get out of this death row, he should show her the wine with deer antler velvet.
