Chapter 15: High Fever
"Oh, it's true that she went out with this king at first, but she couldn't keep up with this king, so she went back by herself. It's time to go back to the Kanxi Hall a long time ago! After speaking, Beiran went in.
Shu Yao thought, the prince is back, and the young lady should also be back.
I hurriedly ran back to the Suxi Temple, but I didn't even see a shadow. I thought I should walk slower, so I held an umbrella and waited outside the hall.
But after waiting for almost an hour, I still didn't even see the shadow of Nangong Tilting.
Shu Yao couldn't wait any longer, so she went to Fuyuan Pavilion to find Beiran again.
Shu Yao went to Fuyuan Pavilion, but was stopped outside by Wu Xi.
"Miss Shu Yao, the prince has rested, if there is anything, let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Tomorrow and tomorrow, my young lady has not come back yet, and the prince has been back for almost an hour, and I still haven't even seen the shadow of my young lady. Tomorrow tomorrow, tomorrow I will give you an official to do, you can't do it. Shu Yao was anxious and a little disrespectful.
Wu Xi was also surprised when he heard Shu Yao say that Nangong had not come back yet, "The princess has not come back yet?" ”
"That's right, otherwise I'll come to Fuyuan Pavilion to do something. Why don't you go and tell the prince and ask the prince to send someone to find the princess. ”
"I'm going to tell the prince and ask Miss Shuyao to wait here." After speaking, Wu Xi hurried to the house to tell Beiran.
Wu Xi hurriedly pushed Bei Ran's door open, waking Bei Ran up, "What are you doing?" ”
"Lord, the princess has not returned to the palace until now." Wu Xi reported the situation to Beiran.
Originally, Beiran was lying on the bed, but when he heard Wu Xi say that Nangong had not come back yet, he sat up all of a sudden, "Haven't returned to the palace yet?" Bei Ran didn't believe that Nangong had not come back yet.
"Yes, Lord Wang, the princess's personal maidservant, Miss Shu Yao, is still waiting outside the pavilion."
Beiran hurriedly got out of bed and got dressed, "You go and prepare the horse." With that, he left the room.
When I went out of the pavilion, I saw Shu Yao waiting outside.
"Nangong has not come back yet?" Bei Ran confirmed whether what Shu Yao said was true.
"The slave didn't dare to joke with the young lady, the young lady really didn't go back to the palace."
Bei Ran recalled that an hour ago, Nangong Tilting waited because he couldn't keep up with his pace.
"You go back to the temple and wait, this king knows where she is." After saying that, Beiran didn't even hold an umbrella, so he went out of the house directly.
Wu Xi tied the horse to the stone pillar outside the mansion, and Beiran saw it as soon as he left the mansion.
——
This rain was very heavy, very big, and the rain slapped on Nangong Tilt's face with the direction of the wind.
Nangong didn't care if it was raining or not, but because of the darkness, he was immersed in the situation of his father beating him.
The rain soaked her clothes, and the wind blew on her, making her shiver from the cold.
She had been in the rain for too long, the cold and wet made her whole body hot, her vision in front of her was getting blurred more and more, her eyelids couldn't hold up, she curled up and fainted in a puddle of rain, letting the rain slap on her body wantonly.
Beiran rode a horse quickly to the position where Nangong Tilt stopped at that time, and after getting off the horse, he kept walking along the road, shouting loudly to her, "Nangong Tilt, Nangong Tilt." ”
No matter how many times Bei Ran shouted, how loud he shouted, or even when he shouted, there was no response, and there was only an echo in response to him.
The road was very dark and there was no light, but this road was very familiar to him. Even without light, he can walk.
As I walked, I was suddenly blocked by something, so I walked around, but I didn't expect to be tripped and almost fell.
After Beiran was tripped up, he continued to walk, and as soon as he took a step out of his foot, he realized that what tripped him seemed to be a foot.
He turned around and squatted down, and touched it roughly, and felt a shallow bulge on the back of his hand.
I remembered that Nangong was in the Wanhuang Imperial Concubine before, and was scratched by the fragments of the teacup, and the scars I saw at that time were probably in this position. Therefore, he is sure that this is Nangong Dumping.
He helped Nangong Tilt to her feet and kept shouting her name, but there was no reaction at all. I touched her forehead with the back of my hand, and her hair was hot.
He picked up Nangong and walked all the way back to the palace.
Shu Yao had been waiting outside the hall, and she vaguely saw Beiran coming back, so she ran over with an umbrella.
She saw Nangong in Bei Ran's arms, her lips turned pale, "Miss." ”
"Go get a basin of cold water and get it inside." Beiran couldn't take care of it, and said to Shu Yao while walking.
Bei Ran asked her to take a basin of cold water, and guessed that Nangong had a fever.
Shu Yao hurriedly ran to fetch cold water.
Bei Ran gently placed Nangong Tilt on the bed.
"Here comes the water." Shu Yao shouted.
"You change Nangong Tan's clothes, and then let people change the sheets." Bei Ran went out after speaking.
"Yes, lord."
Shu Yao put the basin of water on the table and hurriedly poured clothes for Nangong to change clothes.
"Come on, change the princess's bed sheets." Shu Yao shouted loudly.
After Shu Yao changed Nangong Tan's clothes, the bed sheets were also changed.
Shu Yao soaked the handkerchief and wiped Nangong Tan's arm to cool down.
Bei Ran estimated the time in his heart, and almost entered the house.
When Bei Ran entered the house, Shu Yao was wiping Nangong's arms.
"Come on!"
Shu Yao turned around and saw that it was Bei Ran. When Shu Yao heard Bei Ran say this, the whole person was shocked.
"Just come with the slave and maid." Shu Yao politely refused.
"Come on, come on, you go and make some porridge." Bei Ran had already reached out to Shu Yao to ask for a handkerchief.
Bei Ran stretched out his hand, and Shu Yao was embarrassed to refuse again, so she handed the handkerchief to Bei Ran and went to the kitchen to make porridge.
When Shu Yao went out, she closed the door.
Beiran soaked the handkerchief again, wiped Nangong Tanyu's arm, and after wiping it, he washed the handkerchief, wrung it clean and put it on her forehead.
Bei Ran's stool was placed next to the bed, taking care of her while reading.
In the quiet room, suddenly there was some noise.
"Don't hit me, don't hit me." She kept repeating the phrase.
Beiran, who was reading a book, heard Nangong Tanying repeating this sentence all the time, and he put the book on the stool to see what was wrong with her.
Nangong was covered in cold sweat, her brows were furrowed, her mouth kept repeating "don't hit me", and her body also made a movement to protect her head with what she said.
Nangong Tilting kept protecting his head and kept repeating that sentence.
Bei Ran took off the handkerchief on Nangong Tilt's forehead, replaced it with a new handkerchief, re-soaked it, and put it on her forehead.
Bei Ran gently put Nangong Tan's hand into the quilt, but in her dream, Bei Ran grabbed her hand, which was equivalent to her father dragging her up and beating her, so she always resisted Bei Ran.
Bei Ran was a little overwhelmed, so he called Shu Yao in.
As soon as Shu Yao came in, she heard Nangong Tanying keep reading that sentence in her mouth, and she knew that she was dreaming of her father again.
Shu Yao sat on the edge of the bed, holding her hand with one hand and gently patting her arm with the other. She then fell asleep peacefully.
Bei Ran stood aside and felt very strange, "What's wrong with her?" ”
Shu Yao saw that she was sleeping quietly, so she covered the hand that held her with a quilt, got up and said, "Back to the prince, Miss often dreams that someone beats her, so the reaction is a little intense, and the prince is not surprised." Shu Yao explained.
"I see."
"Lord Wang, go and rest for a while, there are slaves and maids here."
Beiran nodded and walked out of the room.
After Shu Yao saw Beiran leaving, she closed the door, sat on the edge of the bed, and said to herself, "You dreamed of your father beating you again, right?" ”
- Recalls the day when the rock sugar gourd was mentioned
"Why do you like rock sugar gourds the most?"
"Because my family was very poor when I was a child, I couldn't afford to eat these things, so when I grew up, I could earn my own money, and when I wanted to eat, I would buy it." Nangong said with a smile.
When Shu Yao heard this, she didn't know what to say, so she chose to be silent.
"Actually, it's not so much because my family is poor, it's because I don't have a mother. I still remember when I was four years old, I went to the market with my mother, and I said that I wanted to eat rock sugar gourds, and my mother took out a few crepe banknotes and handed them to the sugar gourd seller. That was the first time I ate it and the last time. Later, because my father was often a heavy drinker, he beat my mother when he was drunk, and my mother couldn't stand it, so she divorced my father, which is now called reconciliation. It was also since then that my father often beat me up drunk. Not only did he beat me, he hit me with a stool, and in a worse case, he slashed me with a knife. However, it was nothing, and I got through it. ”
After speaking, she smiled shallowly with tears in her eyes.
Shu Yao saw her with tears in her eyes, so she stepped forward and hugged her, "In the future, I will make you a lot of rock sugar gourds and eat them until you vomit." ”
Nangong smiled and said softly.
- Finished recalling
"I remember the last time you told me, you repeated that night like you did tonight. You must be miserable with such a childhood, right? The scars of childhood have to be made up for for the rest of your life, even for a lifetime. I really know how you're feeling, but I seem to be much luckier than you compared to you. ”
As she spoke, Shu Yao dropped a tear on the quilt.
"In the future, I will do my best not to let you be wronged or beaten."
In this way, Shu Yao slept on the edge of the bed for a night.
After Shuyao woke up, she touched her forehead, and the high fever had subsided.
After Nangong's high fever subsided, Shu Yao went to the kitchen to heat up the porridge, and when she woke up, she could drink the hot porridge.
Shu Yao left the room and went to the kitchen to heat porridge.
After Shu Yao left, Nangong Tilt woke up.
Nangong opened her eyes, and there was a confusion in front of her, she slowly sat up and leaned on the bed.
Not long after she sat up, Shu Yao came in with hot porridge.
Shu Yao put the hot porridge on the table, walked to the bedside, and said, "Are you awake?" Is there anything uncomfortable? ”
Nangong tilted his head, "It's just that my head is a little dizzy." ”
"That's normal, you drink the porridge first!" Shu Yao served the porridge to Nangong and poured it, "It's a little hot, be careful." ”
She nodded.
A quarter of an hour later, Nangong poured out the porridge, and Shu Yao took the bowl and spoon.
"By the way, Shuyao, how did I get back? I remember I was outside! ”
"The prince came back yesterday, and you haven't come back yet, so I'll go to Fuyuan Pavilion to find the prince, and the prince brought you back."
"Count him as having a conscience." Some little tsundere said.
"But where the hell have you been?" Shu Yao asked.
"Ouch, I think that's a little.... Grace ....."
Nangong poured out that she couldn't speak clearly, and Shu Yao was stunned when she heard it.
Nangong Tilting recounted the time last night to Shu Yao, and Shu Yao also understood, and finally her face was not full of question marks.
"So, the prince dissected Ah Ming, and Ah Ming doesn't know where the prince went?"
Nangong tilted his head, "Just to let him say it, I don't know what the hell I went to with him, it's dark and sloppy, and there is no light at all." I don't know if Beiran's eyes are long under his feet, and he can walk in such darkness. She complained.
Shu Yao whispered "cut", and said to Nangong with a disdainful face, "Maybe the prince is very familiar with that road!" In less than three quarters of an hour last night, the prince found you and brought you back. ”
Nangong poked Shu Yao's arm gently, "You dead girl, who are you with?" She feigned anger.
Shu Yao smiled, held Nangong and said, "Of course it's on your side!" No matter what others think of you or how they treat you, I will never change to you. ”
Shu Yao was suddenly so lyrical, but Nangong was moved by her words.
