Chapter 157 Nine Deaths and One Life
After the palace was haunted, it didn't cause much action, Xiao Shi didn't know that Mu Churan intended to snub Xue Liangan's case, and Jingzhao Mansion detained people here without trial and did not let go. He was worried that the initiator would not give up easily, so he prepared the turtle breath in advance for Xue Liangan to take it in an emergency, but he could cheat to death.
It's just that I didn't expect that the mastermind behind the scenes seemed to have a back move, and he also ambushed the master, and he was on the way to go. He was eager to save people's hearts before he was tricked.
A dignified killer, killing countless people, but I didn't expect that I would almost die in Huangquan because of saving people, it was really ridiculous, and I really had to wake up laughing in my dream. Xiao He guarded him on the side all day without closing his eyes, personally bandaged him with medicine, and drank medicine for him with his own hands.
I finally saw that his complexion had improved a little, and he had a smile in his sleep.
After Xue Liangan took the antidote, the situation recovered faster. It's just that at this time, he is still a suspect, and it is inconvenient to show his face, so he can only live in Xiao Mansion temporarily. During this period, Xiao He had a long talk with him, speculating carefully who the person who murdered him this time would be.
The biggest suspicious character has already died, and even Xue Liangan himself can't say that there will be someone who has such a deep grudge against him.
Xiao He muttered: "You are a doctor, the most on weekdays is to save people, maybe there are people who don't want you to save people anymore......" When she said this, her heart suddenly brightened, Xue Liangan is the imperial doctor in the palace, and the most diagnosis and treatment should be from the palace, and the master he serves most often is only the biggest one in Zijin City.
If someone thinks that he is too good at medicine to harm someone, it makes sense.
After Xiao He ordered someone to bring Xue Liangan back from the mass grave, he also deliberately set a fire there, creating the illusion of wildfire. As long as Xue Liangan does not show up for a day, the people behind the plot will definitely think that he has succeeded, and he will definitely make the next move in the near future.
She returned to Xiao Shi and watched him lying there quietly, feeling indescribably strange. She was obviously worried about his injuries and was obviously worried about his safety, but after gaining insight into the possible actions of the mastermind behind the scenes, she inexplicably began to worry about the other person again.
She told herself in her heart that that person was heavily protected in the Purple Gold City, and he was hugged everywhere he went, so why should she do anything more, it was really not her turn to worry.
Not to mention whether he is qualified or not, just because of his identity, he and her have no possibility of living together calmly. She has not forgotten the blood feud of her family, nor has she forgotten the reason for her survival.
As if to remind herself, she reached out and gently held Xiao Shi's hand, rubbing the thick and rough cocoon in his palm, as if this action could reassure her, awaken her heart, and see what she wanted.
Xiao Shi and her are the same kind of people, she can reach out and grasp, and it is also what she wants.
At nightfall, she was so tired that she fell asleep on the edge of the bed.
When Xiao Shi woke up, he felt that the bones all over his body seemed to be broken and scattered, and there was pain everywhere, but his fingers regained consciousness, and when he looked sideways at the person lying on his stomach next to the bed, and her hand in his hand, it instantly didn't hurt as much as Fang just now.
The human heart is very wonderful, and the pain and the pain are all in the same thought.
He looked at her side like drinking honey, and the smile on the corner of his lips lingered for a long time. But suddenly he heard her cough softly twice, he wanted to get up but found that he couldn't move, and when he moved slightly, the many wounds on his body were all in unison, shouting as if it didn't make people calm.
The pain in his body was nothing more than an illusion to him at the moment, and nothing could compare to the reality of what he held in his hands.
Xiao He noticed some movement, opened his eyes vigilantly, and saw that he had woken up, so he naturally went to probe the temperature of his forehead, which was no longer hot. She still remembered what Hongzhu said, if she woke up and didn't have a fever, she would have to heat the medicine again and drink it once.
"I'll go get the medicine."
After a while, Xiao He came in with a medicine bowl, put it on the side first, and helped him get up.
"Be careful." She almost put her arms around his upper body and helped him sit up, her lips as if they were about to touch his shoulders as she spoke. This posture was diluted a lot of ambiguity because he was wrapped in white gauze all over his body, and the smell of medicinal herbs was everywhere.
When she had helped him to sit down, she stepped aside, brought the bowl of medicine, and fed him spoonful by spoonful.
"Let others do these things, you can also ......" His voice was low and slightly hoarse, but his eyes kept rubbing her cheeks, admiring her carefully, and taking her every expression into his eyes.
"If you want someone else to do it, then ...... I'm going to call someone. Xiao He hesitated for a moment, but the action of feeding the medicine in his hand did not stop. Her gaze kept wandering back and forth between the spoon and his lips, and her movements were very cautious.
Xiao Shi's face seemed to be smiling, and he asked, "Who are you going to call?" ”
"Whoever you want to come, I'll call." She replied without thinking, but there was a hint of forbearance in her tone.
None of them had any other conversations until the bowl of medicine was at the bottom.
Xiao He took the medicine bowl, and when Xiao Shi saw her get up, he said, "It's not early, you go and rest." Xiao He returned quickly, "I'm not tired." Instead, he asked, "Are you hungry?" The kitchen stewed some minced porridge in the evening, and it was just right to eat at this time. ”
Xu was that he hadn't enjoyed this feeling of being cared for for too long, and he was stunned for a while, Xiao He saw that he didn't say anything for a long time, so he took it upon himself to go and bring the porridge first. Originally, he was feeding him, but Xiao He hadn't eaten all night, smelled the fragrance, and couldn't help but take a bite too.
It was only after feeding it into his mouth that he reacted, and smiled a little embarrassedly.
That smile was in Xiao Shi's eyes, and he regarded it as the most precious thing in the world, and he just wanted to hide the beauty in his arms and not share it with others.
The next morning, Xiao He went to the morning court as usual, but he inevitably showed fatigue.
Jingzhao Mansion Yin told Mu Churan that Xue Liangan was suffering from an emergency and died violently in prison, and Mu Churan took a closer look at Xiao He's face. She was extremely sleepy, and she didn't put on any fake expressions, which made Mu Churan see some clues.
"The case of Imperial Physician Xue was full of suspicions, and Gong Pei, who testified against him that day, was later confirmed to have bad intentions, and I think that Imperial Physician Xue was jealous. Aiqing has to check it carefully, and return Imperial Doctor Xue's innocence. ”
Mu Churan's words turned quickly, and in less than a month, the prisoner of that day became innocent. This case is already a bit tricky, the prisoner has some prestige in the palace and outside the palace, since the crime, many people have come to inquire and plead, if it weren't for Mu Churan's prior instructions to strictly prohibit visitation, I'm afraid that the threshold of his mansion will be flattened.
As a result, in the end, guilt or innocence is not the emperor's words. In fact, the facts are in front of you, it just depends on whether the emperor believes it or not. Nafu Yin is the best at observing faces, of course he won't say anything else useless at this time, and immediately followed Mu Churan's words and resignedly agreed.
As soon as the morning came, Xiao He disappeared.
Duan Heng originally wanted to discuss something with her, but he didn't want her to slip away so fast that no one saw her. After thinking about it, let's get down to business. Previously, when the concubine heard about the turmoil in the palace, she wanted to enter the palace to visit the queen mother, but she was worried that the emperor was still angry, so she asked Duan Heng to visit the queen mother by visiting the princess Mu Qingwan after the early dynasty.
Anyway, he acted perversely, and Mu Churan also knew it.
He went directly to the outside of the Chaolu Hall and saw a team of guards, very tightly guarded.
He took one more step, and the guards stopped him.
"What? Are you going to stop even this king? Duan Heng raised his eyebrows, and his face deliberately showed anger.
The guards at the head hesitated, Mu Churan did say that he would not let the Queen Mother leave the Chaolu Palace coldly, but he also did not say that he would not let people come to visit. This Prince Xiao'an has only recently been rewarded, and since he is a person who can speak in front of the emperor, whether his little guard can afford to provoke him has to be weighed more secretly.
After Duan Heng saw that he hesitated, he led people to retreat and stop patrolling, knowing that the other party was also a person who knew current affairs, the corners of his lips curved slightly, and he strode into the Chaolu Palace.
After entering the Chaolu Palace, there was a depressing scene inside. The palace people were not on duty, and they did not stay in the courtyard, and the huge palace was empty, and there was no one to clean it up. Duan Heng suddenly became suspicious in his heart, and walked straight into the main hall, and what he saw shocked him even more.
Leng Qingske sat on the shoe stool with his hair scattered, his face was pale, his eyes were scattered, and he even seemed to be a little sluggish, muttering to himself, and there was a eunuch kneeling beside her, hanging his head, unable to see his expression.
Duan Heng stepped forward a few steps and squatted down, "Auntie, but you're sick?" How to sit on the ground? ”
Leng Qingchen has always paid the most attention to manners, how could she let herself be so depressed now, and she looked at Duan Heng, but she didn't seem to recognize Duan Heng, and grinned, but that smile made Duan Heng even more anxious. He simply grabbed the eunuch next to him and asked, "What's the matter with the Queen Mother?" Is it sick? Why don't you pass on the doctor? Why didn't you tell the emperor? ”
The eunuch laughed in a low voice: "Don't worry, the queen mother is not sick, but it will be like this after taking medicine, and she will be sober after a while." ”
Duan Heng took a closer look, and the eunuch's face was also extremely flushed, but it was a little weird, his eyes were erratic when he looked at people, and his mind seemed to be a little unclear. They both appeared to have the same symptoms. Duan Heng pushed him to the ground and shook his head angrily. He got up and went outside again, and roared, "Isn't there a sober living man?" ”
After a while, the Shanggong Shan clan hurriedly trotted over from the side hall and saluted Duan Heng, "The prince atons for his sins, no one will come to the Chaolu Hall on weekdays, and no one will report it, so I don't know that the prince has arrived." ”
Shan kept his head down, but Duan Heng saw a scar on her cheek at a glance, "What's going on on your face?" And what's going on between the Queen Mother and the eunuch inside, you explain honestly! ”
Shan knew that Duan Heng had seen everything, and he didn't dare to hide it anymore, so he told Duan Heng honestly.
