Chapter 169: Can't let go
After this painstaking persuasion, Li Wanrong's eyes finally had a glimmer of brilliance.
"Niangniang, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to let you see your family. At least you still have me in this palace, I won't leave you alone. ”
Li Wanrong nodded slightly, "Thank you, Princess Nine, I was too selfish in the past, I will work hard." No matter how difficult the days are, I must live longer than them and see them get retribution one by one. At that time, I will go to see the emperor again, so that I can have an explanation for him. ”
"That's right, don't worry, this day won't wait long. By the way, I'll call you Sister Wanrong in the future, you can just call me Xiaoxuan. ”
Glancing at her deeply, Li Wanrong smiled and nodded.
After coming out of the Qingliang Palace, Xia Xiaoxuan instructed Ah Zi that the weather was getting colder and colder, and that he should send more daily necessities and supplements. Although she can't give her freedom yet, once she can make sure she can live. And her health is really poor, if she doesn't take care of it well, even if she doesn't want to die, she won't live long.
She wanted to find Yun Qing to help her prescribe a few pairs of medicines to recuperate first, but what she needed now was not only physical treatment, but also psychological support. She has said everything that should be said, and whether he can see it can only rely on himself.
After nightfall, Xia Xiaoxuan quietly entered Fengyi Palace. It's already the second shift, and the light is still on in his room, and when she enters, he is busy on the table. A push of medicinal herbs was placed next to him, and the room was full of medicinal fragrance.
"Why don't you sleep so late? Don't you know if you're in bad health? Seeing him like this, his face was full of disapproval, but he couldn't help but feel distressed in his heart. He is Fengjun, the head of the six palaces, as long as he wants, he can be favored by thousands of people, and he can even win the court. But he didn't, he didn't want anything, he didn't fight for anything, and he was willing to stay alone in this cold palace.
The moment she heard her voice, Fu Yunqing smiled happily. What tiredness, loneliness, at the sight of her, all disappeared without a trace. All that remains is rejoicing, contentment.
"Xiaoxuan, are you here?"
Just a gentle word, all the anger seemed to be scattered all at once, and in the end only helplessness remained.
"Promise me that you can't sleep more than one hour in the future, or I will ignore you." With a tiger's face and a foreign pretend, he would not have been able to deter him.
But the man never seemed to have a temper, and he smiled warmly, and in an instant.
"I can't sleep in bed anyway, so I might as well do something."
I really couldn't help him, so I had to walk up to him and squat down, "What are you busy with?" ”
"I develop new medicines, and then I write new prescriptions into medical books. I think if I can, I can record all this medical knowledge and leave it to Xiaobao to see. ”
"Then you have to pay attention to your body, too? What if you get tired? "Always thinking about this, thinking about that, never thinking about yourself.
"I'm fine, and I'm doing what I like, why do I feel tired?" If he is not allowed to do anything, he will feel that life is meaningless.
"Are you really happy? Shut myself in the house all day, if it were me, I would have suffocated to death. Looking at the bottles and cans on his desk, he couldn't help but study them curiously.
When the hand touched a bottle, suddenly a warm hand grabbed her, "This is poison, you can't move it." ”
The preparation of a medicine requires the use of a lot of medicinal materials, there are good medicines, there are also poisons, after neutralization, in order to contain each other and play a new role. So good medicine and poison are only a thin line.
"Your hands are so cold?" The cold feeling coming from the palm of her hand made her heart
was startled, but the man hurriedly withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and a faint flush flashed on his face.
"It's okay, maybe this herb is cold, cough cough ......" I couldn't help coughing as soon as I finished speaking.
Xia Xiaoxuan hurriedly got up, took down the cloak hanging on the hanger next to her, and draped it on him. He couldn't help but warn softly, "If I see you sleeping so late and busy here, I'll throw all these medicinal materials out of yours." ”
The gentle man just smiled, "You won't." ”
He saw through that she wouldn't be him, so he wasn't worried at all.
"By the way, is there something wrong with you coming so late?" After asking this sentence, I couldn't help but cover my lips and cough twice.
Hurriedly poured him a cup of hot tea, this man didn't care about his body like this, it really made her feel distressed and helpless. If it was someone else, she could hit or scold, or ignore him. But for him, she just couldn't.
"I went to see the imperial concubine Li Wanrong during the day today, she is now living in the cold palace, she looks very haggard, can you help her make a prescription? The people in the palace don't care about her, and her parents can't enter the palace, so she can only fend for herself. "Put the hot tea in his hand.
Fu Yunqing also sighed, "The first emperor is gone, who cares about her life or death, she is also a hard-working woman." Looking at the steaming tea in my hand, my heart suddenly warmed. Compared with her, she is happy, at least she is still cared for.
Xia Xiaoxuan helped him grind, watching him write a beautiful cursive hand, and couldn't help but praise: "Yunqing, if you don't become a doctor, you can also sell calligraphy and paintings in the future." Look at your craft, you don't have to be afraid of starving yourself to death. ”
The man smiled and looked at her gently, "Compared to Chu Yuanhao's words, who is better-looking?" ”
"You know all this?" He's talking about the poem they collaborated on in the restaurant, right?
"I only occasionally heard people in the palace say that there are two strange people in the 'Ruyi Building', and that poem has shocked the capital. I think it should be you. ”
You can guess what kind of seven-trick heart he has? It's a waste for such a man to stay in the harem.
"Do you really think of me? Shouldn't I be proud? ”
"You have always been, in my heart, you have always been unsurpassable."
Such a high compliment made Xia Xiaoxuan a little flattered.
"Okay, you just say that I am a lord who refuses to live in peace."
was amused by his words, and she will never feel lonely with her, and she will never have to worry about having no topic.
"Yun Qing, can you help me see what kind of poison this is?" Carefully took out the cloth bag from her arms and took out the hidden weapon that Li Wanrong gave her.
Fu Yunqing's face changed abruptly, "Where did this come from?" ”
"It was given to Li Wanrong by the imperial brother before he died." Looking at his serious expression, you know that this matter must be serious.
"This is Kim Gyu, not poison, but people who touch it will go crazy. And the poisoning is fast, this one should have been taken from the horse. ”
Looking at the hidden weapon that glowed with green light, Xia Xiaoxuan's eyes flashed with a thick killing intent. Sure enough, they did something on the horse, and the royal brother should have found out, so he secretly hid this secret weapon, so that they didn't have to worry about destroying the horse's body.
It's just that they are so poisonous that they put all the blame on the horse who can't speak, and let the horse go crazy sooner or later, and then throw the royal brother out fiercely. This is undoubtedly murder for a person who does not know kung fu.
"I think you should start with the person who used this secret weapon now, after all, there are not many people who can use such a secret weapon."
Xia Xiaoxuan nodded and put away the secret weapon again, "I will definitely find out the person who killed him for the imperial brother." In fact, there is no need to check, everyone knows it, but there is a lack of evidence. ”
Fu Yunqing looked at her worriedly, and couldn't help but hold her hand, "Xiaoxuan, promise me, no matter what, you must protect yourself." Especially now that King Xiao is not here, many pairs of eyes are staring at you, you have to be more careful. ”
Facing his relationship, Xia Xiaoxuan smiled with relief, "Don't worry, Yunqing, of course I know how to protect myself." Not only do I have to take care of myself, but I also have to protect the people around me. So for my sake, you have to protect yourself too. ”
"I'm fine, but you, you've lost weight and are much haggard." He cupped her cheek pityingly, and the small one was not as big as his palm. Such a woman deliberately wrapped herself so strongly, as if she was invincible, but she made him feel sorry from the bottom of his heart. But what could he do for her?
Suddenly I felt very warm, these days of pretending to be strong, midnight dreams back tossing and turning, just because of the words he cared about, instantly collapsed.
She fell into his arms, a comfortable embrace for her at all times. That's right, if Xiao Junluo's embrace made her feel at ease and down-to-earth, then what Fu Yunqing gave her was comfortable and comfortable.
"Yunqing, I also want to let go of everything, and then do what I like, travel the mountains and rivers, and be carefree. But all this has become a luxury for me now. I don't know how long I'll last, but it's something I have to do and I have to do it, and there's no turning back. ”
tightened the woman in her arms and sighed distressedly, "Don't worry, you are not alone, I will always be by your side." ”
"Take a rest when you're tired, I'll watch over you."
The tense mood at this moment finally relaxed, because he was by his side.
It wasn't the case for him, watching her sleep quietly in his arms, the cloak wrapped around the bodies of two people. Snuggle up to each other and keep each other warm. The warmth and happiness of this moment is never before, and it would be nice if time could stop in this moment so that he could be with her forever. No amount of honor, power, or power can compare to the happy smile of the woman in his arms.
The bright moon outside the window gradually moved westward, and the night deepened, and the two figures in the room overlapped into one, snuggling tightly together. Outside the window, on the treetops, a touch of black looms, like a night owl in the dark night, strange and indifferent.
"Tsing Yi, send this bottle of pills to the Netherworld Sect, give it to the sect leader, and say that I gave it to him. Also, let him take good care of Xiao Junluo. "Give the pill that Yun Qing gave her yesterday to Tsing Yi, this is my grandfather's antidote. With this antidote, he won't have to wear a mask all day in the future, and he won't have to be afraid that the yin and yang face will scare people away.
Tsing Yi took the medicine bottle and put it in his arms, and glanced at Xia Xiaoxuan with some embarrassment, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? "Unless there is something particularly difficult, with Tsing Yi's personality, he is definitely not a verbose person.
"Are your subordinates afraid that there will be no one to protect you, master, or let others go." He hesitated to say it.
Xia Xiaoxuan thought about it, and took out the token that her grandfather gave her before leaving, "In this way, you take this token and go to the people of the Netherworld Sect nearby and give them the medicine directly." Then I wrote another letter and asked him to pass it on to my grandfather. ”
"Then do you also write a letter to the prince?"
"He didn't wake up, how do you read the letter?"
