Chapter 130: Viper
Prince Wen's Mansion.
Tang Anxia stayed in the guest room for a day, Li Junqi was worried that she would be targeted by Du Wei Haozhe and others when she left, so she was not allowed to leave the palace for half a step, and specially instructed everyone in the mansion to take care of the second lady of the Tang family, and no one should be neglected.
After the analysis of the previous night, Li Junqi probably figured out that the enemy's target was the General's Mansion, and the reason for the attack was that Tang Zhentian and the eldest prince planned closely, and the prime minister and others intended to assist the little prince.
In the final analysis, it is the battle for the throne, resulting in the confrontation and competition between the two hostile forces, open guns and hidden arrows, which will inevitably hurt the innocent, which emperor did not step on countless flesh and blood to sit on the dragon chair before ascending the throne? To them, Tang Anxia was just a pawn in a calculation.
Li Junqi and Ziyu discussed, starting from two aspects, one is to find the real culprit who killed the show girl Pei Shan, clear Tang Anxia's suspicion, and rescue her from the root. Second, grasp the handle of Haozhe and others, use their own way to govern others, and threaten the other party with their weaknesses, so as to give up the pursuit of Tang Anxia, as long as the chips are enough, they can even force them to give up fighting against the General's Mansion. Everything is a contest of interests, and it is unknown who will lose and who will win.
As soon as early in the morning, Li Junqi and Ziyu left the mansion in a hurry, and they wanted to secretly observe Haozhe, pay attention to which courtiers he had contacted, and whether he was plotting to endanger the general's mansion.
When Tang Anxia woke up, it was already three poles of the sun, Aunt Yun prepared the water for washing, served her to change into new clothes, Zhilian prepared a delicious meal, all the dishes were exactly the same as Li Junqi's, it can be said that it was the highest treatment in the entire Prince Wen's mansion.
Tang Anxia didn't see Li Junqi come forward, so he knew that he must be busy with government affairs, and he didn't ask much, after all, living in his house was no more casual than his own home, and he couldn't keep quiet if he shouldn't care.
After eating, Aunt Yun ordered someone to clean it up, and her attitude towards Tang Anxia changed greatly, not as kind and kind as before, but said politely: "If the second miss has no other instructions, the old slave will retreat first, there are still many affairs to be dealt with in the house, and the old slave's maidservant Bai Mei stayed to accompany the second miss." ”
Tang Anxia smiled: "Okay, it's hard aunt." ”
Behind Aunt Yun, a woman in pink clothes stepped forward in small steps, Tang Anxia looked at her carefully, her long black hair was curled, her waist was matched with pale pink tassel waist flowers, the bangs on her forehead were scattered at will, lined with a non-powdered face, and a blooming red plum was painted between her eyebrows.
Bai Mei blessed her body: "Second Miss, the slave will accompany you to the yard for a walk." ”
"Okay, I've got you covered." Tang Anxia responded lightly.
The two walked aimlessly one after the other, Bai Mei pointed to a bush to the west, and proposed: "Second Miss, My Royal Highness likes to go to the bamboo pavilion over there to study, would you like to go over and have a look?" I don't know what His Highness has been reading recently, if a scroll falls in the bamboo pavilion, the slave maid will just take it back and put it back in the study. ”
Tang Anxia didn't worry too much, she was also very interested in Li Junqi's affairs, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
The bamboo pavilion was in the middle of the entire grove, it was early spring, the ice and snow in the grove had already melted, and Tang Anxia felt that the road under his feet was damp and shady, and there were weeds and piles of broken stones from time to time.
Bai Mei walked very fast, and when she was still more than a dozen steps away from the bamboo pavilion, she suddenly stopped, turned around and waved her hand at Tang Anxia with a smile, and shouted loudly: "Second Miss!" Hurry up! Hurry up! ”
Tang Anxia walked with difficulty, and said with a sneer: "This grass and shrubs are too difficult to walk, your Royal Highness is strong in martial arts, and you can easily pass it with light skills, like I can only move forward step by step." ”
Bai Mei squatted down with a smile, raised her voice and said, "It's okay, Second Miss, you come slowly, the slave is waiting for you here." ”
Between the words, Bai Mei took out a dirty handkerchief from her cuff and scattered it into the bushes in front of her, the low trees and weeds covered the contents of the handkerchief, and also blocked Bai Mei's small movements.
Tang Anxia got closer and closer, but Bai Mei squatted back slowly and gently a few times, and then the pestle remained motionless in place, as if she was frozen by the point.
Tang Anxia got closer and closer, and vaguely, she heard a rustling sound in the bushes.
"What's that?" Tang Anxia was puzzled in his heart, and the steps under his feet were faster.
Suddenly, Tang Anxia felt the soles of her feet slip, and she didn't know what she stepped on, and then, before she had time to react, a piercing pain came from her calf, and when she looked down, Tang Anxia found that it was a slippery and greasy long snake.
"Ahh Tang Anxia shouted in surprise, ripped off the fork next to him, and stabbed towards the body of the long snake without saying a word.
The serpent sensed the attack, and it quickly snag away, shrinking its side and burrowing into the bushes, and disappeared.
Tang Anxia bent over in pain, the pain in her calf made her unbearable, she tore open her dress, only to see that there was slurry blood faintly oozing out of the wound, and the burning pain made her feel dizzy in her head.
At this time, Bai Mei hurriedly ran over and asked with concern, "Second Miss?" What happened to Miss Two just now? ”
Tang Anxia pointed to the wound on his calf, his vision began to blur, and he stammered back: "Snake...... A snake that bit me......"
Bai Mei immediately hugged Tang Anxia's weak, about to fall body, and helped her to walk out cautiously step by step, she lowered her head and said with a worried expression: "Second Miss, you must hold on, the slave will send you back, don't fall asleep, don't have anything, think about Your Highness, he must be waiting for you!" ”
Tang Anxia's consciousness began to drift, she felt that her chest was difficult to breathe, she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, and her calves were almost numb to the point of being unconscious.
I don't know how long I walked, Tang Anxia's every step was like a thousand catties, and I vaguely heard Bai Mei's voice beside me shouting: "Aunt Yun!" Oh no, no, no! The second lady was bitten by a snake! ”
Aunt Yun and a few maidservants hurriedly ran over and muttered in a panic, "What's the matter? How can a good one be bitten by a snake? ”
With that, Tang Anxia was lifted up by the subordinates and quickly transported to the house.
"Someone! Go and get a Langzhong, the sooner the better! Aunt Yun immediately ordered the minions.
Bai Mei trotted all the way behind her, admitting her mistake with teary eyes: "Aunt Yun, blame me for being careless and not taking good care of the second miss, causing her to be bitten by a snake, the slave would rather be bitten by herself than bear to see the second miss injured." You say, what if His Highness blames me and wants to cut off my head? ”
'Smack'!
Aunt Yun slapped Bai Mei with her hand back, her expression was solemn, her eyebrows were tightly locked, and she reprimanded angrily: "Do you still know that you are afraid of His Highness's punishment? If she has three longs and two shorts, I will be implicated! His Royal Highness regarded her as a treasure and saved her life and brought her back to the mansion just to protect her. Now that we have been bitten by a snake, if we die in our house, can you tell us that we can still live? ”
Bai Mei shed tears aggrievedly, looked at no one left and right, and muttered in a low voice: "Hmph! The second lady is already a show girl in the palace! What can His Highness do if he likes her again? saved her, it's not that she wants to marry someone else as a princess, and she can't become the concubine of His Royal Highness, so why bother to protect her! ”
"Presumptuous!"
Aunt Yun scolded angrily, glanced at her fiercely, and whispered in a very low tone, "You can say this in front of me, but you must not spread it, you, you have followed me for many years, don't you understand this rule?" I didn't know that the second lady was already an outsider, and I didn't see that I didn't feel as distressed about her now as I was in the past, but His Highness couldn't think about it! We can only serve with good food and drink first, and look forward to the day when His Highness can think about it. ”
When Lang Zhong arrived, Tang Anxia had already fallen into a coma.
Aunt Yun accompanied her with a smiling face: "Doctor, my young lady, you must do your best to save her, she can't have an accident, otherwise the lives of the slaves and maids in the room will not be guaranteed." ”
Lang Zhong nodded, first checked Tang Anxia's wounds, there were spots and blisters around the tooth marks, and when he opened Tang Anxia's eyelids, he saw that her pupils were constricted and her eyelids drooped, which was indeed poisoning.
Lang Zhong quickly took out a piece of hemp rope, wrapped it tightly around Tang Anxia's calf, took out a knife, and cut the skin into a cross shape along her wound.
Aunt Yun and Zhilian were so frightened that they closed their eyes, and only Bai Mei stared at them with wide eyes.
Lang Zhong rinsed the snake venom on the surface repeatedly with clean water, took out the glass jar in the medicine box, buckled it to the wound, and pressed the skin on both sides of the jar with both hands.
The purple-black blood was oozing out of the skin little by little, and Lang Zhong worked harder and harder over and over again, until finally, the pent-up blood began to turn into purple red, and slowly turned bright red again, Lang Zhong took off the glass jar, smeared a ball of black herbs on the wound, and bandaged it with a white cloth a few times, which was considered to be treated.
"It's fine." Lang Zhong washed his hands, took out an antidote pill from the medicine box, stuffed it into Tang Anxia's mouth, broke her head upwards, pressed her throat, and asked her to swallow the pill.
Aunt Yun asked curiously, "Doctor, how is my second lady?" What did you give her food? ”
Lang Zhong said calmly while packing up the medicine box: "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, fortunately, the snake that bit her is not highly poisonous, it should be just an ordinary poisonous snake, plus the wound is not deep, squeeze out the poison, eat the antidote pill, and it will be better in a few days." ”
Aunt Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, God bless if this is the case, now we can explain to His Highness, thank you, doctor, thank you!" Baimei, hurry up and give the reward! ”
"Yes." Bai Mei lowered her eyelids, took out a few pieces of broken silver from the table, and handed them to Lang Zhong.
When Tang Anxia woke up again, it was already midnight outside.
She opened her hazy sleepy eyes and found that Li Junqi was sitting on the edge of the bed with a worried face, supporting her forehead with one hand and putting the other hand on the quilt, dazed and half-asleep.
"Jun Qi......" Tang Anxia's voice was weak.
Li Junqi opened his eyes suddenly, and clenched Tang Anxia's cold little hand tightly, the expression in his eyes was happy, and his tone was full of joy: "Are you awake?" That's great! You don't know how worried I am about you! ”
Tang Anxia pulled out a smile vigorously, and his tone was still very weak: "I'm sorry for bothering you, I just wanted to go to the bamboo pavilion for a walk, but I didn't expect to be bitten by a poisonous snake." ”
Li Junqi reached out and touched her forehead, and checked her pulse again, while talking, there was a little anger in a slightly complaining tone: "You, what are you doing in the bamboo pavilion?" The western bushes are damp and dark, overgrown with weeds and gravel, and often infested with snakes. ”
Tang Anxia blinked her eyes and said softly: "Bai Mei told me that you often go to the bamboo pavilion to study, she wants to pack up the books and take them to the study, and I am also curious about what books you like to read on weekdays, so I will go and see them." ”
Li Junqi frowned, his handsome face was clouded, and his eyes shone coldly: "I occasionally go to the Bamboo Pavilion to discuss important matters with Ziyu, there are sparsely populated there, so I don't have to worry about the ears on the wall, as for Baimei cleaning up the scrolls, I don't know." ”
Tang Anxia was stunned for a moment, thinking back to Bai Mei's behavior at that time, she deliberately squatted down and signaled the direction in which she was walking, when she was bitten by a poisonous snake, she seemed to be fearless, as expected, thinking about it like this, was she deliberately framed?
Li Junqi's thoughts were naturally no different from Tang Anxia's, he held Tang Anxia's hand, his face was full of tenderness, warm as the sun in spring, and said: "I'll call her over immediately, if it's really what she did, I will definitely not forgive." ”
Tang Anxia's clear eyes rolled, thought about it, and stopped Li Junqi: "No, now is not the time to startle the snake!" Before there is full evidence, Bai Mei will not admit it, and you can't kill a good person by mistake. I suspect that there must be a reason why the snake appeared at that time and she was able to avoid it safely. And the poisonous snake bit me, I believe it is no coincidence. ”
Li Junqi frowned slightly, his angular face was cold, and his thin lips pursed gently: "Okay, I'll let Ziyu investigate secretly immediately, and I can always find some clues, if she frames you, she will definitely leave a handle, and it is impossible to be foolproof." ”
Tang Anxia had a light smile on her lips, in front of Li Junqi, she always felt very down-to-earth, as if as long as he was in this world, she could do without anything, as long as he was by his side, he would definitely be able to protect himself and be fearless.
This is the feeling of security that Li Junqi in her previous life never gave her, nor did she ever experience tenderness.
Li Junqi noticed Tang Anxia's hot gaze, which was as bright as a flame, and unconsciously lowered his head, leaned down, and approached Tang Anxia's rosy cheeks little by little.
Tang Anxia stared at the man who was getting closer and closer, and could even feel his breathing, his breath was so charming, as if it would fall into a honey pot, and his cheeks were as handsome as the immortals of Jiuzhou.
And his thin lips gently kissed Tang Anxia's cold lips.
At that moment, there was no movement in the whole heaven and earth, as if everything had fallen into stillness. It's just the two of them, you hug me, I hug you, feel each other's body temperature, hear each other's heartbeat, cherish each other's breath, sweet and sweet.
Li Junqi has lost the last line of defense, he loves the woman in front of him so deeply. even had a terrible idea that if it was for her, Li Junqi could give up and return to the modern world, just stay by her side, and never be separated.
