Chapter Twenty-Five: I Like You Being Stupid
Night City. A certain house.
"Looks like he's not coming." The old man in a Taoist robe raised his head and sighed, and said to himself, "Xu is destined to be providential, and no one can change it." ”
When the Fifth Prince heard this, he asked, "But Master Heaven, what are you worried about?" ”
The Heavenly Master shook his head and sighed, "I wanted to pull him along, but I didn't think about it, and he still chose to ignore our reminder." If he had come tonight, he might not have been able to tie that fate. ”
The five princes were confused, what kind of fate?
"But Master Heaven, since you said that it was destined by heaven, why did you go against the will of heaven and insist on ......" The fifth prince hesitated for a moment and continued, "It was to help him, and the situation that changed for a while could not be changed after all." Wouldn't that be a drain and a lot of effort? ”
Just like him, he was forcibly changed by the old demon master, and from then on he was no longer a lonely and miserable life, but the price was that he had to rely on those bitter soups and bitter medicines to maintain his life from now on, and it was also because of this that it inevitably affected the luck of others......
"The old bones are handful, but I'm not afraid of bothering and laboring, but I'm afraid, that evil fate has no good results." A trace of confusion flashed in the Celestial Master's eyes, and he muttered, "However, strange...... Why can't it be counted? ”
The fifth prince asked curiously, "What is the Heavenly Master?" ”
The Heavenly Master twisted his eyebrows and looked solemn. pinched his fingers and counted for a long time, a fine and dense cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and finally spurted out a mouthful of blood, unable to support half kneeling on the ground.
"Heavenly Master!" The fifth prince hurriedly went over to support him, but was stopped by the Heavenly Master.
"It doesn't matter...... Heavenly Master coughed heavily, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, didn't care much about his injury, but said with a solemn face, "I can't even calculate their chance, it seems that the fate has been concluded, even if I forcibly want to break it, but I can't." ”
"Alas......" After a long sigh, the Heavenly Master stood up with the hands of the five princes, and a trace of vicissitudes unconsciously appeared between his eyebrows.
"In the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to meddle in this worldly matter again!" The Heavenly Master said quietly, "It seems that the old man has already seen that he has already understood that he ran away first, but he learned smartly." ”
"That's it, no matter ......"
The Heavenly Master waved his hand, covered his chest and walked slowly.
The fifth prince was confused, and he didn't seem to understand his words, watching the Heavenly Master walk away, he didn't catch up in the end, just looked at his back, and looked thoughtful.
Imperial. Prime Minister's Office.
Princess Celestia woke up and stared at the bed curtain for a long time before she remembered what had happened to her.
When I turned my head to look, there was no one in sight.
"Sister Moon? Sister Moon? Celestia tried to sit up, and screamed several times, but no one was seen.
On the soft couch behind the screen, Liang Yue heard the voice, was startled, and hurriedly reached out to push away someone who was still pressing on him, and urged in a low voice: "Get up soon, she's awake......"
Someone doesn't hear it and just concentrates on their own movements.
Liang Yue was a little uncomfortable by him, frowned slightly, and muttered, as soon as he made a sound, he was startled, and quickly covered his mouth, for fear that there would be another sound for people to hear.
But Su Yi is still tirelessly planting strawberries around her neck, not worrying that she will be discovered by the eldest princess.
Liang Yue was a little angry, covering her mouth and glaring at him, but her eyes were a little pitiful.
Su Yi couldn't see her pitiful appearance the most, so he couldn't, so he could only pause his movements, look at her for a while, and after sighing quietly, he got up.
The clothes of the two of them have been almost taken off, and if the eldest princess is not here today, I am afraid that it will be natural to cook raw rice......
And yet now......
Su Yi sighed again, resigned herself to tidying up her clothes, helped Liang Yue get dressed, and carefully helped her put her collar up to cover those ambiguous traces. Seeing that she was still angry, he simply picked up her face and kissed her deeply, but this time he left quickly, coaxing her softly: "I won't mess around, I promise." ”
After Liang Yue repeatedly confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her dress, she exhaled deeply, glared at him angrily, and then hurriedly walked out and answered the eldest princess.
"Coming, you're awake?"
"Where have you been? I've been calling you for a long time, and I haven't seen anyone. "The eldest princess was about to get out of bed, and when she saw her coming, she breathed a sigh of relief, sat back down, and asked Liangyue for a handkerchief to wipe her sweat." Did I faint just now? What's wrong with me? Just say two words, and I'm tired and sweating. ”
Liang Yue hurriedly found a handkerchief for her, and said, "Hmm...... Maybe you're too tired, but do you remember what just happened? ”
The eldest princess said: "Didn't we eat together just now, and then I don't know why, my heart and stomach suddenly hurt terribly, and finally I fainted in pain, didn't I?" ”
"Exactly, if you remember." Liang Yue walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, "There is something I have to say directly, you must tell the truth, otherwise you will delay the condition, and even Su Yi and he can't do anything." After a pause, he asked her, "Have you been poisoned before?" ”
When the eldest princess heard this, her face suddenly changed, and she asked cautiously, "What are you asking for?" ”
"What can I do?" Liang Yue asked rhetorically, "Anyway, it's you who was poisoned, and it's you who hurt, not me, if you can't believe me and choose not to say it, I can't force it." ”
Princess Celestia looked at her, as if studying her look, wondering if she could say anything.
At this time, Su Yi came over with a medicine box, and saw that the two of them were sitting on the bed without speaking, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked Liangyue, "How is it?" ”
Liang Yue spread her hands helplessly: "It's okay, I asked, but she didn't say." ”
Su Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at the eldest princess: "You know that you have residual poison in your body, and you are often tortured by pain, now I can detoxify you, why don't you tell me about the situation?" I'm also good at the right medicine. ”
Princess Celestia refused: "I appreciate your kindness." It's just ......"
It's just that the residual poison in her body can't be cleared up, if that person knows that she has found someone to detoxify, who knows if she will be poisoned by another poison?
This time you can detoxify with Su Yi, but what about next time? What about next time? Su Yi can't always be by her side to detoxify her, right? What's more, in the end, she is the one who suffers, which is too risky, and she really doesn't have the courage to take the risk.
Thinking of this, the eldest princess hid the loneliness in her eyes and refused: "It's just that I'm used to this poison in my body, and it doesn't matter so much whether I solve it or not." ”
Liang Yue didn't understand, obviously disagreeing with her reason: "But you fainted in pain just now, just by eating a little medicinal food, you can cause an attack of residual poison, and the attack is so bad, people are scared when they look at it, can you get used to it?" ”
The eldest princess lowered her eyes, but said in her mouth: "Well, I've long been used to it." ”
Liang Yue wanted to say something more, but Su Yi pressed her shoulder, and couldn't help but look up at him, but saw Su Yi winking at her, leaning over and whispering, "Wait for me for a while, I'll come when I go." ”
Liang Yue didn't know what he was going to do, but she nodded her head and agreed to let him go.
Seeing that Su Yi left suddenly, the eldest princess had no intention of staying, so she wanted to call the accompanying palace maid in.
Suzuki held her hand and stopped her. "Don't worry, wait for Su Yi, it is estimated that he will go back to dispense medicine for you, and it will not be too late to leave when he comes back."
"But I don't need to." Princess Celestia refused, dryly, again.
"Then you can't let him run for nothing, right? At least you have to wait for him to come back, and then you tell him that you don't need it, it's useless to tell me. Liang Yue blinked, temporarily calming down the eldest princess who wanted to leave.
The eldest princess had no choice but to give up, but called a little palace maid in, and told her to report to the queen first when she went back, so as not to worry if she went back late.
The little palace maid hesitated again and again, and finally said boldly: "But princess, it's so late, I'm afraid that the palace door will be closed a long time ago, and if the slave goes back alone, she will definitely not open the door." ”
"What's there to be embarrassed about, take this, I'll see who dares not to open the door for you." The eldest princess said, took off a piece of jade pendant from her waist, handed it to the little palace maid, and ordered, "Okay, go quickly." Go back and talk to the queen mother and tell her not to worry. ”
The little palace maid hurriedly took the jade pendant, and then saluted.
"The people around you are quite clever." Liang Yue laughed, thinking that the little palace maid was quite interesting.
The eldest princess didn't think so, and even complained with a dissatisfied face: "That's it, one by one they will only stick to the rules, and they will tell me every day, 'The princess can't do this', or 'the queen mother said, the princess will ......' whatever, I don't think they are like slaves and maids who serve me, but like troubled ghosts who urge life every day." ”
Liang Yue couldn't hold back for a while, laughed, listened to the eldest princess's complaints, and suddenly felt that this princess was actually very cute, born in the palace, grew up with rules and regulations, but did not become a unified assembly line product under the rules, and had her own independent thoughts, which was enough to make Liang Yue feel that it was not easy.
While the two were talking, Su Yi quietly came back through the window, still holding a bottle of medicine in his hand.
"Since you don't want to detoxify, then you can't. This is a pill that can suppress the toxicity, and when it happens, take one to relieve the pain. Su Yi handed the medicine bottle to the eldest princess.
Liang Yue asked, "So fast?" Are there any side effects? Can't be detoxified? ”
Su Yi shook his head: "This is what Master left before, there should be no side effects, as for the detoxification-" Su Yi glanced at the eldest princess and continued, "Since the eldest princess has something unspeakable, it is not easy for us to persecute it, after all, this poison is in her body, and it depends on her whether it can be solved or not." This medicine can only relieve pain, but it cannot detoxify. ”
Princess Celestia hesitated and didn't answer.
Liang Yue took the medicine from Su Yi's hand, and stuffed it into the eldest princess's hand without saying anything, and said without refusal: "Take it, no detoxification, only pain reduction." Otherwise, you will disappoint our kindness, how can you bear to refuse our kindness, Celestial Princess? ”
"This ......" Princess Celestia faltered, opened her hand to catch the medicine bottle, held it tightly in her hand, seemed to be entangled in something, and only whispered thanks after a while, "Thank you." ”
Su Yi looked at her like this, and felt that it was necessary for him to remind her-"The more jealous you are, the more you will be restrained." Celestia is a smart person, so she must know what I mean, right? ”
Celestia's hand holding the medicine bottle suddenly tightened, and her fingers became a little white because of the force. However, she still pretended to be calm, and asked with a quiet smile: "Oh? Su Gongzi's words are very profound, dare to ask me where can I understand? ”
Liang Yue looked at the eldest princess and then at Su Yi, and suddenly felt that she and the two of them were not in the same channel at all, otherwise why couldn't she understand a word of what they said?
It's so angry.
Liang Yue glared at Su Yi and said deliberately angrily: "Oh, the eldest princess can understand what you say, so she is a smart person." Then I don't understand the meaning, I'm stupid? ”
Su Yi couldn't help but smile, rubbed her hair, and said gently: "How come, I like to be as stupid as you." ”
Suzuki: There seems to be something wrong with emmmmm's words?
