Chapter 159: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
The assassin committed suicide, naturally he couldn't find the person who instructed him, and now it was the time of the ancestor worship ceremony, and he couldn't investigate too much, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being.
Xie Shiyun fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss and had been moved to the nearest wing. Emperor An He stood guard by the bedside, and the imperial physician who knelt on the ground below all came with him.
"How's she doing now?" Anhe Emperor Road.
"Return to the emperor," the imperial physician led by him slowly collected the silver needle, and lowered his head, "The arrow is not poisonous, but it pierces it a little deeper." Her Royal Highness is alive and well, and the rest will have to wait until she wakes up to make a conclusion. And ......"
The Imperial Physician seemed to be a little speechless and stopped.
"Say." Emperor An He just looked at Xie Shiyun quietly, and his voice did not fluctuate, "I don't blame you. ”
"Yes." The doctor wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead, and said against his scalp, "And this injury is in the shoulder, so it is not appropriate to move." I'm afraid I have to recuperate for a while, otherwise I'm afraid it will leave sequelae. ”
"Just a retreat?"
"Yes, just rest."
As the saying goes, doctors usually leave a line in their words, especially the imperial doctors in the palace.
When treating the nobles of the royal palace, it is generally said that it is serious. If they are cured well, they are skilled in medicine, and if they are not cured, they will also be unable to return to heaven due to illness.
Now, this is the case with Xie Shiyun's injury.
"I know, go down." Emperor An He waved his hand very tiredly, and the imperial doctors immediately kowtowed and retreated.
"Ugh." Sitting on the edge of the collapse, staring at his daughter's sleeping face, the guilt in his heart was extremely strong.
He knew the situation best, and even heard the wind of arrows whizzing by. If Xie Shiyun hadn't pushed him in time, the arrow would not have been as simple as stabbing him in the shoulder, but would have killed him directly.
"Your Majesty, be relieved." The queen, who had been standing for a long time, comforted, "Since the imperial doctor has already said it, Princess An Chen should wake up soon." ”
"I hope so." Emperor Anhe tilted his head slightly, "Spread my will to postpone the ancestor worship ceremony until three days later." ”
Although the tone was plain as usual, it made the queen stunned for a moment.
"Please think twice, the ancestor worship ceremony has always been a good day chosen in advance, and it was set by the ancestors, I am afraid that this is not in accordance with the rules......" The queen's tone was extremely tactful, very embarrassed, and couldn't help but persuade.
Although he understood that he cared too much about Xie Shiyun and wanted to wait for her to wake up and recuperate, he couldn't make an exception.
"I've made up my mind." Emperor An He raised his hand to stop the queen's next words, "Shiyun is in a coma to save me, at least she has to wait until she wakes up." Alright, let's go and preach the message. ”
The queen sighed, and was about to leave the palace when she heard an extremely weak advice: "The queen... Mother, please stay. ”
It was Xie Shiyun.
Emperor An He almost subconsciously looked at Xie Shiyun and said happily: "You can be regarded as awake, but you are worried about dying." ”
He patted her hand again and said slowly: "You just have a good rest first, the imperial doctor said that you need to recuperate, don't be in a hurry to move." ”
At first glance, it is a model of a loving father.
"Ahem." Xie Shiyun's face was still very pale, but it added a kind of morbid beauty, and Wen Yan said, "The emperor's well-intentioned daughter understands it, but the queen is right, the rules cannot be changed, let alone the auspicious time." I know best about my body, and I can continue to participate in this ancestor worship ceremony. ”
The queen also stopped at the same time, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes flashing, but more of relief and appreciation.
"How can this work? Your body still needs ......" Emperor An He wanted to say something, but was interrupted again by Xie Shiyun.
The latter smiled: "The emperor also knows that this injury is only a skin injury, and nothing will happen." And how can such an important ceremony be made by me alone, if I am tired of the emperor's reputation, my daughter is guilty and deserves death. ”
These words were extremely beautiful, and the corners of Xie Shiyun's lips curved slightly.
Not only can it be loved by Emperor Anhe, but it is also praised by everyone, which kills two birds with one stone.
"Shiyun has always been empathetic, and what she said is true, and the concubine also thinks so." The queen also helped on the side, and did not forget to praise Xie Shiyun.
"Alas, how can I have such a sensible daughter as you." After a while, Emperor An He was both moved and guilty, and the daughter in front of him had risen several levels in his mind, and he laughed loudly, "Okay, then it's up to you, and the ancestor worship ceremony will continue." After the ceremony, I will pass on the word that I will reward you heavily when I return to the palace. ”
Xie Shiyun just smiled politely, and did not refuse: "Thank you, Emperor Longen." ”
The bell rang again, the ritual music roared, and the ancestor worship ceremony was held very smoothly.
Sure enough, when everyone saw Xie Shiyun with gauze on her shoulders again, they all looked at her in surprise, and then they were even more surprised and praised.
After the ceremony, Emperor An He also fulfilled his promise - praised Xie Shiyun in public, and indicated that he would be rewarded more after returning to the palace.
Seeing this reward, Xie Yuan's eyes turned a lot redder, and his face was extremely distorted. But for him, he couldn't tell the bitterness, so he had to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Only Shen Sijun's eyes lingered on Xie Shiyun for a long time, and what flashed was uneasiness and guilt.
When the ceremony was over, the crowd dispersed, and Shen Sijun took the initiative to find Xie Shiyun.
"How's your injury?" When the two arrived at a remote place, Shen Sijun hesitated for a moment and asked straight to the point.
"It's okay, it's just a minor injury." Xie Shiyun said lightly, "The imperial doctor said, it's good to recuperate." ”
Xie Shiyun's figure was already thin, coupled with her pale face and the blood-stained gauze on her shoulders, Shen Sijun was even more distressed.
"This time, I was also derelict in my duties." Shen Sijun's face was quite solemn, "You shouldn't still insist on participating in the ancestor worship ceremony." ”
It's not that he didn't see Xie Shiyun's intentions, but he didn't agree that the price of this praise was physical damage.
Xie Shiyun raised her eyebrows and said, "I have my own plans." ”
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
"That's it." In the end, it was Shen Sijun who compromised first, with undisguised guilt in his eyes, and stepped forward, "I'll see how your injuries are." ”
Xie Shiyun took a step back, avoided the former's hand that leaned forward slightly, and said with a smile: "General Shen, I am already engaged, I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient." Besides, there are a lot of people here, and if you are seen by someone who cares, you should make an article. General Shen doesn't want to, let your reputation be too ugly. ”
"You're right." Shen Sijun took his hand, his expression was not embarrassed, he just dusted off his clothes lightly, "Then you have a good rest and don't bother much." ”
With that, he walked away. Xie Shiyun found that the back, which was not very broad, was even thinner.
