Chapter 21: Nightmares
Needless to say, Xiao Jingning also knew that this was just a word of relief from the imperial doctors, since the discovery of the epidemic, he had already transferred the medical records of thirty years ago, and naturally there was also a prescription from Jifeng Tang at that time, but it was not effective at all. Now that Xiao Yuanshi can wake up, firstly, because he is still a child, and secondly, because Xiao Jingning has been wiping his body to cool him down.
It's not that it's okay to survive this experience, it's just that this disease is a little strange, and after surviving once, it will be latent and will continue to have a fever after three or five days.
Although Xiao Jingning has not seriously studied medical skills, he has been exposed to a lot of medicines and prescriptions, coupled with his long-term illness, he may have more experience than some doctors.
Most of the imperial doctors do not seek merit but seek no fault, and the prescriptions prescribed are all warm, for fear that the prince's body is weak and unbearable. At this time, when he saw the prince waking up, he picked up some good things to say, and the actual situation was clear.
Xiao Jingning knew it, but no matter how much he hated it, he couldn't point at the medical officers of the Taiyi Department and be angry, but he faintly buried the idea of waiting for this catastrophe to pass and rectify the Taiyi Department.
The imperial doctors tossed and left, Xiao Yuanshi's eyes widened, looking at Xiao Jingning, Xiao Jingning's face was haggard at this time, and the original unmessy bun was also a little loose, obviously not freshened, and even the lips were a little chapped...... Xiao Yuanshi's eyes turned red, "Queen Mother...... The sons are not filial, so that the queen mother is worried, and she is so tired, the queen mother listens to the sons, is it okay to go back to the palace to rest......"
"How's that going to work?" Xiao Jingning subconsciously retorted, and when he looked at Xiao Yuanshi's pitiful eyes, his heart was soft, and he raised his hand to touch the little man's head, "Yuanshi is lying down, the queen mother can't sleep now, and when she wants to sleep, she will go to sleep." ”
How can she sleep at this time, the prescription of thirty years ago no longer works, Xiao Yuanshi may get sick at any time, she is really afraid that in the blink of an eye, this little person will be gone, where is she willing to leave half a step. But Xiao Yuanshi is also a distressed mother, how can she just let her stay in front of the bed?
I saw Xiao Yuanshi raise a smiling face, suddenly threw himself into Xiao Jingning's arms, and said softly: "The queen mother relaxes, since the son has woken up, it proves that he has survived, right?" Erchen must drink the medicine obediently, there is Sister Cuiping watching, if the queen mother is not good because she takes care of Erchen, Erchen will be very sad and sad, what if she gets sick again? ”
Xiao Jingning hurriedly covered his mouth and smiled helplessly, "Okay, well, listen to you, the queen mother will go back to rest." ”
The eyes glanced at an embroidery on the back of Cuiping's neck, and felt a little familiar, but they didn't delve into it. After only a few words, Xiao Jingning got up and took Su Ying's hand back to Zhengyang Palace.
In fact, she didn't feel a trace of sleepiness, but she also knew that if she didn't rest, her body would not be able to hold it sooner or later, so she forcibly closed her eyes, and there were always some messy things flashing in front of her, the faces of the mother's, Jingfei's, and brothers appeared alternately, gradually blurring, and finally only one picture remained.
One was Xiao Xin's bedroom, the officials and concubines in the palace knelt on the ground, Xiao Xin on the dragon bed looked sick, but stubbornly got up, let Xiao Tingsheng, the king of Changlin, and Xiao Yuanshi step forward, and then lay in Xiao Tingsheng's arms, held Xiao Tingsheng's hand tightly, and laboriously put Xiao Tingsheng and Xiao Yuanshi's hands together, and then closed his eyes as if he had put down something, and lay quietly in Xiao Tingsheng's arms.
Among the kneeling concubines, a person in the queen's costume cried something, the woman's appearance was not clear, but the sadness seemed to drown Xiao Jingning.
Xiao Jingning knew that it was a dream, but she couldn't wake up, and when she finally woke up, she was already covered with fine cold sweat. She slammed herself up and looked around the dormitory, especially the sheets and bedding, but it seemed to be fine. In other words, she really had a nightmare, not controlled by drugs.
Dreams always have signs.
Sighing lightly, she calmed down and pondered what she saw in her dream, although there were many pictures in the dream, and it was obvious that someone was talking, but in the whole dream, she couldn't hear a single sound, even a few words.
The dream was originally the person she had met before she met her relatives, and then it was the person Xun Ruolan had met, and the strange thing was that no one in Nanchu had anyone in her previous life or in this life.
"Nan Chu, ......" Xiao Jingning muttered softly, his voice almost inaudible. She is an outsider in Nanchu after all, and her heart has no home, so she is a lonely guest in a foreign land. Now that I have returned to Daliang, even if things are wrong, and even my body and name do not belong to me, I still feel at ease. Her home has always been in Daliang.
Even if it was a nightmare, he didn't want to give it to Nan Chu for even a moment.
The thoughts gradually returned, and the last haze of the dream came to my heart, which was...... End-of-life care?
My heart was pinched hard, how old is Xiao Xin...... But in his forties. Although she lived about the same life in her previous life, what was the situation? Although she didn't deliberately seek death, she was also dead, lifeless, and her heart disease was difficult to treat, and she didn't expect to live like a marionette for more than 20 years. Even though Xiao Xin was born with a weak body, he should not be so short-lived if he had a prescription specially designed for him by Concubine Jing.
Xiao Jingning knew a lot of things from Xun Ruolan's memory, plus what he had learned these days, Xiao Xin would entrust the prince to the trusted King Changlin before his death, which is not surprising, after all, it is their brotherhood from childhood to adulthood, they are monarchs and ministers, and they are also brothers.
Xiao Jingning still won the favor of Emperor Xiao Xuan of Liang before making peace with his relatives, and which one of the people from the palace is really simple. This dream seems to be just Gozen Togu, but she can analyze a lot of things from it.
As far as the temperament and status of King Changlin are concerned, if Xiao Xin is here, he will be able to protect him for the rest of his life, but if he is gone, the prince is young and weak, and Xun Ruolan and the hundred officials have that attitude towards the Changlin Palace, and it doesn't take much effort to turn the Changlin Palace, and it is not yet known whether there will be a day of Zhaoxue. Only by taking risks and letting them go further can there be a glimmer of life.
It's just that......
Xiao Jingning's eyes were slightly dark, and he was afraid that he was drinking to quench his thirst.
The character and status of King Changlin are there, and some people will chew the root of their tongue in the ears of Yuan Shi, and when Yuan Shi is a little longer, they may not be able to tolerate this lonely minister.
Slander and ridicule are the sharpest killing weapons in the world, no amount of trust is worth the three of them becoming tigers and accumulating ruin, Xiao Jingning will not gamble on the ethereal people's hearts.
Why can't the man in the queen's costume see his face clearly?
What does this portend?
She naturally understood that Xiao Xin would not change the queen, but why was that face blurry, as if there was a layer of fog covering it.
Slowly sat back on the bed, closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead lightly, and smiled for a long time, she was stunned, what is the truth compared to a dream?
Maybe that's what Xun Ruolan should have experienced, or maybe it's what she was afraid of...... But so what?
If Xun Ruolan never returns, then she will have to walk this way.
If there is a dream day, it is not all bad. After all, the Yuan Shi in the dream is much more mature than now, so at least, the Yuan Shi can survive this catastrophe.
And now his attitude towards Changlin Wangfu is different from Xun Ruolan, and even Xun Baishui has begun to change his attitude towards Changlin Wangfu, acting slowly, I think King Changlin will not have that kind of ending, right? .
After clearing his thoughts, Xiao Jingning summoned the palace maids who were guarding outside the hall to help wash up.
