Chapter 44: A dead end
Su Hua never told Beizhu the reason, she shook her head: "My mother must have her idea of arranging this way, I don't know." ”
Bai Shuqin had too many questions in his heart, and thought of Han Yu again, he also knew that the matter of the Soulless and the Twin Souls would also be related to the people of Southern Xinjiang? "Do you know a person named Han Yu?"
"Han Yu?" Beizhu frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
Bai Shuqin smiled self-deprecatingly, Beizhu is still a child, how much can he know. She was just about to let Du Zijun, who was eavesdropping at the door, come in, when she remembered another question, "You just said that you don't have spiritual power, right?" Then how did you get Du Zijun to treat me? ”
When Beizhu heard this, his originally sentimental eyes suddenly brightened, and he couldn't hide the excitement in his tone, "I just discovered it, and I seem to have spiritual power." It seems that I can only save people, but I am very satisfied! ”
Bai Shuqin rubbed her hair and said with a smile: "Silly boy, this is the most amazing spiritual power!" ”
Beizhu smiled embarrassedly, and when she saw Zhuo Jinxuan who was unconscious on the bed, she took the initiative to say, "Sister Bai, can you let me try to see if I can save the third prince?" ”
Bai Shuqin glanced back at Zhuo Jinxuan, turned to look at Beizhu, whose breath was still a little chaotic, put his hands on her shoulders, and said with a smile: "You are too tired today, have a good rest tonight, and then help me save him tomorrow." ”
Although Beizhu felt a little tired, the excitement after discovering that she had spiritual power made her especially want to try it. However, seeing Bai Shuqin's concerned eyes, he had no choice but to nod.
Bai Shuqin pinched her cheeks and shouted to Du Zijun outside the door: "Don't eavesdrop, come in!" ”
Du Zijun pushed open the door and argued with a smile: "I didn't hear anything!" Really, I was three meters away from the door just now! ”
Even if he was sticking to the door, with their voices, Bai Shuqin knew that he hadn't heard anything. She didn't plan to bother with him, and said to him, "You find a room for Beizhu and let her have a good rest." ”
Du Zijun quietly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly picked up the lantern on the table, and took Beizhu out of the room.
As soon as the sky was bright in the morning, Beizhu was already standing in front of Bai Shuqin's door, knocking lightly on the door. Bai Shuqin knew that Beizhu couldn't wait to come over, so he got up early, and when he heard a knock on the door, he went over to open the door.
Beizhu looked at her cautiously: "Sister Bai, will I disturb your rest?" ”
Bai Shuqin rubbed her hair and said with a smile: "Silly girl, how could it be! Come on in! ”
The candles in the room had burned out overnight, and Bai Shuqin found a new candle and inserted it on the candlestick to light it. The charcoal fire at the foot of the bed was covered by Bai Shuqin with a basin, but the room didn't feel cold.
Beizhu stood on the edge of the bed, tiptoeing to put his hand on Zhuo Jinxuan's forehead. Bai Shuqin saw that she was struggling enough, carried her to the bed and sat down, and said to her: "If your body feels tired, don't force it." ”
Beizhu nodded, closed his eyes, and placed his white and soft right hand on Zhuo Jinxuan's forehead.
She remained motionless like this, Bai Shuqin stood by the bed a little nervously, she was afraid that Beizhu's spiritual power was not enough to save Zhuo Jinxuan. At that time, if those punches had been smashed on ordinary people, I am afraid that they would have lost their lives a long time ago.
Zhuo Jinxuan's pale face turned bloody, and the bruise on his left cheek gradually disappeared, and he coughed lightly. Beizhu's hand was still on his forehead, and after a quarter of an hour, she withdrew her hand, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said to Bai Shuqin with a smile: "Sister Bai, the third prince will wake up in a while." ”
Bai Shuqin took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her face, and thanked her: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Bai Shuqin called Du Zijun and asked him to take Beizhu to breakfast, while she stayed in the room to take care of Zhuo Jinxuan.
She moistened the towel and wiped Zhuo Jinxuan's face, her fingers sliding over his face. She remembered the scene when Bai Shuqin met him for the first time, and the young man had now grown into a man.
Bai Shuqin only noticed his long eyelashes at this moment, like a small fan, and she couldn't help but stretch out her fingers and gently touch his eyelashes.
Zhuo Jinxuan felt that his eyes were itchy, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Bai Shuqin looking at him with a smile, and said softly: "You woke up, how do you feel?" ”
Zhuo Jinxuan smiled, sat up from the bed, and said to her, "Have a good night's sleep." ”
He stretched out his hand to let Bai Shuqin get closer, but Bai Shuqin hesitated, but still moved closer to him. He took Bai Shuqin into his arms and hugged her tightly, as if he was afraid of losing her.
Bai Shuqin secretly raised the corners of his mouth, and exhaled in his ear: "You hug me so tightly, do you want to integrate me into your body?" ”
"If I could, I'd like to!" He said affectionately. At the moment when he was unconscious, he was not afraid that he would die like this, he was only afraid that he would never see her again, that he would not see her laugh or that she would be angry.
"I don't want it, then the two of me will become conjoined people, this is a deformity!" Bai Shuqin was serious on his face, but he couldn't help but be happy in his heart.
Du Zijun came over with porridge, pushed the door in without knocking, saw the two of them hugging each other, quickly withdrew, and shouted: "Leave me alone, I didn't see anything!" ”
Zhuo Jinxuan gently dropped a kiss on Bai Shuqin's forehead before letting her go. Bai Shuqin's eyes were full of smiles, he kissed him lightly on the lips, and shouted to Du Zijun, who was still standing outside: "Come in, don't let the porridge be cold!" ”
Du Zijun slowly pushed open the door and saw the two separated, so he strode into the house. He put the porridge and buns on the table and said to them, "Da Sima went out with those people last night and has not come back yet. These are all made by Qingluan, you eat first, and I'll go to the kitchen to help her. ”
Zhuo Jinxuan got off the bed and asked Bai Shuqin while getting dressed, "How long have I been in a coma?" ”
"Yesterday afternoon until now." Bai Shuqin took off the black fur coat hanging on the hanger, "Don't wear armor today, it's cold outside, wear this." ”
Zhuo Jinxuan smiled, let her take off the armor he hadn't put on yet, and put on a fur coat for him, which was really much warmer than the armor.
He pulled Bai Shuqin to sit down, brought the porridge to her, and looked at her with a smile: "Did you do something to me?" ”
Bai Shuqin asked puzzledly, "Why do you say that?" ”
"I should have been seriously injured yesterday, I couldn't have healed so quickly." Zhuo Jinxuan suspected that Bai Shuqin used his internal strength to save her.
Bai Shuqin smiled slyly, "I'll tell you about this later." Let's eat quickly, don't you have something to do later? ”
Zhuo Jinxuan nodded, he wouldn't force her to do anything, since she didn't want to say it now, then he could wait for her to say it before listening.
Bai Shuqin drank porridge and secretly glanced at Zhuo Jinxuan. If it is known that Beizhu has this ability, I am afraid that it will cause her a lot of trouble, so let's wait until I have the opportunity to talk about it later.
Yesterday the sun was shining for a day, the snow melted a layer, and the night was thick with ice. Without ten days and a half months, it should be difficult for this snow to melt completely.
Zhuo Jinxuan had breakfast with Bai Shuqin and went to find Sima Liang. Sima Liang persuaded He Zhizhou yesterday to take out the grain from the granary and distribute it to the victims who were killed by pirates and snowstorms, and then arranged for local officers and soldiers in Jiangzhou to help the victims rebuild their homes.
Sima Liang was counting the victims and people in difficulty at this time, and when he saw Zhuo Jinxuan and Bai Shuqin coming, his jaw almost fell in surprise. Before the two of them could come over, he hurriedly ran over and looked them up and down: "Is this the Bodhisattva's manifestation?" Can you both run off the ground today? ”
"Why, you don't want to see us, okay?" Bai Shuqin joked that she hadn't forgotten what he deliberately scared her yesterday.
Sima Liang immediately waved his hand, "How come!" I wish you were so good! As he spoke, he grabbed Zhuo Jinxuan's arm, made sure that his pulse was calm and strong, and exclaimed, "What a miracle! What the hell is going on? ”
Zhuo Jinxuan withdrew his hand, did not dwell on him on this issue, and asked him: "What is the situation now?" ”
Sima Liang returned to his usual serious appearance, raised his hand and wanted to shake the feather fan, only to find that the feather fan had fallen on the table in the study by him, and he retracted his hand helplessly, his face was desolate: "There are only five hundred and three people left in the two thousand elite soldiers, and one hundred and ten of them are injured." Fifty-six houses were burned by pirates in the city, and two hundred and fifteen civilians were killed or wounded. ”
Zhuo Jinxuan's face sank, but a thousand pirates caused such large-scale casualties. He continued, "What about pirates?" Are there any fish that have slipped through the net? ”
"Three hundred soldiers have been sent to search the city, and all the pirates have been apprehended and are waiting to be found!" Sima Liang said.
Zhuo Jinxuan nodded, this group of pirates is extremely heinous, even if they are all sentenced to death, it is not enough to vent the anger of the people.
"What about He Zhizhou? What are you going to do about it? Bai Shuqin asked suddenly.
Zhuo Jinxuan looked at Bai Shuqin and said to her: "Even if He Zhizhou colludes with pirates, after all, he is also the prefect of Jiangzhou, and how to deal with it has to write a letter to his father, and he will deal with it." ”
Bai Shuqin knew in his heart that if he handed it over to the emperor to deal with, there would be only one way to die. But she always felt that there was something else hidden in the matter, so she said to Zhuo Jinxuan: "Let's go see He Zhizhou now, I still have something to ask him." ”
Zhuo Jinxuan nodded in agreement, turned his head to Sima Liang and said, "You stay here to deal with things, and I will go back with Shu'er." ”
Since the pirates attacked the people of Jiangzhou that night, He Zhizhou has been like crazy, crying and laughing in the room with his cloak scattered, and sometimes singing loudly.
Mrs. He found a doctor to treat him, and as soon as she stepped into the room, she asked He Zhizhou to push him out. She had no choice but to make amends to the doctor, send the doctor away, and cry alone outside the door.
Most of the officers and soldiers in the palace were outside, leaving only a few people to take care of He Zhizhou, and the originally solemn prefect's compound was now a little more depressed, and the gate was unguarded.
Bai Shuqin and Zhuo Jinxuan walked into the inner courtyard only to see the two maids walking in a hurry, Bai Shuqin stopped them and asked, "Where is Lord He?" ”
The two maids looked at each other, and the maid wearing a peach-colored jacket saw that they were dressed well, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they saluted slightly: "My lord is in his room, it's just..."
Seeing that she wanted to speak and stopped, Zhuo Jinxuan glanced at her and said, "Just what?" ”
The maid's eyes were erratic, and she shook her head gently: "It's nothing, the slave will take you over." ”
She walked ahead to lead the way, and before she could get close to He Zhizhou's room, she heard his wild laughter. Bai Shuqin and Zhuo Jinxuan glanced at each other, and both of them quickened their pace.
Mrs. He slapped the door with both hands, her eyes swollen from crying, and her hoarse voice cried: "Master, open the door!" If something happens to you, how will we live! ”
He Zhizhou was already laughing wildly inside, Mrs. He was no longer powerless to knock on the door, and the whole person leaned on the door in a decadent manner, and her body gradually slid down. When the maid saw this, she hurriedly ran over and helped Mrs. He so that she would not fall.
When Mrs. He saw someone coming, she quickly straightened up, wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief, and asked the maid, "Who are these two?" ”
The maid didn't know who the two of them were, so she replied truthfully: "The slave doesn't know either, they are here to find the master." ”
Mrs. He saw that the two of them were extraordinary, and they were face-to-face, and she had seen most of the characters in the city, and she guessed the identities of the two in her heart, but she still looked at Zhuo Jinxuan uncertainly, "Dare to ask who you are?" ”
