Chapter Twenty-Four: A Pool of Stagnant Water, Longing for Madness
"Fourth brother, you can rest assured that you will have a good life and recuperate, and on the day of your wedding, the second brother will still drink your wedding wine!" Ning Chaoge was so determined in his heart that he simply followed his words a little more, anyway, this matter was already like this, and no matter how much he twisted and pinched, he seemed stingy.
"Chao Ge has already said this, you don't have to think about it anymore, thinking too much, it's not good for your health."
Ning Zhiyuan opened his mouth, glanced at the queen and Emperor Ning Chaoge, and finally closed his mouth, today's matter, even if it is a stop, but he also knows that this cannot be the end, the hatred between him and Queen Ning Chaoge is planted today!
After staying in Ning Yuan Palace for another half an hour, the emperor let him go out of the palace in a chariot, as long as his illness was suppressed, there would be no other symptoms, and when the chariot arrived at the gate of the mansion, Ning Zhiyuan could already walk on his own.
"Someone, close the door!" Ning Zhiyuan entered the mansion, and Chang Liu made a calm face and let people close the door.
After that, the two entered the house and closed the door.
"It's too dangerous today, I have already asked you not to fight like this, you don't listen, why bother to fight with your body!" Chang Liu quickly took out a box from the closet in the corner of the room, took out a needle bag in it, lit a candle, and put a silver needle as long as a little finger on the flame to burn it.
"If that's not the case, how can you let my father change his mind with a soft heart!" Ning Zhiyuan, whose face was pale, bit his pale lip in pain and said bitterly: "Hurry up!" ”
Chang Liu rotated the silver needle around the flame, quickly walked behind Ning Zhiyuan, and didn't care about the difference in identity, tore off Ning Zhiyuan's clothes, pushed Ning Zhiyuan's head forward, made him bow his head to make the thoracic vertebrae more abrupt, and then the hand holding the silver needle rubbed on the abrupt thoracic vertebra to the second abrupt thoracic vertebra spinous process, stretched out his hand to measure it with his index finger and thumb to find a place, and finally, pierced the silver needle.
Ning Zhiyuan's face was twisted in pain, and after Chang Liu pierced the second silver needle in the same way, he immediately vomited a mouthful of black blood.
In the blood, there was also a small black worm with a wriggling body.
"Alright, alright." Chang Liu pulled out the silver needle, inserted it back into the needle sac, and then turned around and poured a cup of tea for Ning Zhiyuan and handed it to him. "It's this little thing, my years of hard work have ruined it!"
Chang Liu smiled bitterly and took out a jade bottle in the box, opened the lid and put it on the side of the little insect, it was also strange, the little insect that was wriggling in the pool of blood immediately crawled towards the jade bottle after the jade bottle was put down.
"With your constant doctor, I'm not afraid that my illness will be bad, the second child has the support of the queen, and the third child has Concubine Chang in charge, I have nothing to do except this!" Ning Zhiyuan coughed twice in pain, looked at the little insect that was crawling towards the jade bottle, and laughed: "Such a thing without bones and limbs, but I dare to call it an ecstasy worm, although I am a prince, I have no backing and no support, if I want to climb to a high place, I can only rely on myself." ”
"The emperor means that he wants you to spend the rest of your life in peace, why do you have to do so much!" The insect crawled out of the jade bottle, and Chang Liu bent down to pick it up and closed the stopper.
"It's just that the first half year has been boring, so for the rest of my life, I want to do something interesting, I don't want to be after my death, the history books are just a few strokes, whether it is successfully climbing to the top of the treasure or dry bones to make stone steps, it is a much more interesting thing than waiting for death!"
"But you ......" Chang Liu sighed, speechless.
Perhaps, everyone thinks differently.
Ning Zhiyuan, since he was born, he is walking towards the end of his life that others have limited, the day he was born, the imperial doctor said that he said that he was only three months, he came back to life, when he was one year old, the imperial doctor said that he was only five years old, and he also lived, when he was ten years old, the imperial doctor said that he could only say that he was fifteen years old, he was still alive, he had enough of patience, thinking about when he would die every day, such a life, he never wanted to live like this anymore, the emperor wanted him to spend the rest of his life in peace, didn't know that the rest of his life like this was meaningless to him!
Who wants to live for ten years?
Who wants to be born thinking about dying and facing the cruelty of death?
Who wants to tie all the meaning of life to just being alive?
At least, he didn't want to.
The ants steal life, and he doesn't want to be an ant.
He is the fourth prince of Oga, how can he be willing to live like this day by day waiting for the day when death comes?
A pool of stagnant water will yearn for the tyranny of the wind.
Even if a moth fights a fire, he is willing.
"Chang Liu, you are willing to help me, I am very grateful, the imperial doctor said, I can live to be thirty years old at most, I don't know if this is the end, thirty years old, I am only nineteen years old this year, eleven years, year after year in this house in this room waiting for that day, so boring, I am so unwilling, what I do today, in your opinion, may be stupid or self-inflicted, but you are not me after all, eleven years, it is terrible to think about, I have been like this for nineteen years, and I will not change, I'm afraid I'm going to be driven crazy by this kind of life that is no different from the dead. I just want to give it a try, to see if I can really settle for a few lives, or if I can give it a try. ”
Fight, Chang Liu's eyes tightened, and he looked at the person in front of him blankly, this is the first time, he confided in himself such words, if he hadn't begged himself before, he wouldn't have helped him, I thought this was a crazy move for him to vent his depression, but he didn't want to, he had more ideas.
"How many people want you to be so comfortable and can't, in the end, you are unwilling." Chang Liu smiled wryly and took the box back into the closet.
"I am unwilling, my illness, my mother's death, I am unwilling." Ning Zhiyuan clenched his fists, his eyes furious.
"You're crazy."
"If I don't go crazy again, I'll have to lie in the imperial tomb."
"I told you that it is possible for you to be cured of your illness, and you will not live to be thirty years old." Chang Liu walked in front of Ning Zhiyuan with a solemn expression.
"Maybe, in my life, what I hear the most is the possibility and the impossible, I am listening to others tell me that it may be impossible, Changliu, do you say it is interesting?"
"Some people want to be comfortable and comfortable, worry-free food and clothing, some people want to go straight to the heights without worry, comfortable, and have to choose, really embarked on the road of Qingyun, but there is no choice." Chang Liu's eyes were fixed on Ning Zhiyuan's eyes.
"What if you don't have a choice? It's only eleven years anyway. Ning Zhiyuan suddenly smiled, shook his head and said: "You and I have been together for so long, you should know what kind of temperament I am, if you are not willing to step on the green clouds with me, I will not force you to stay." ”
Chang Liu frowned and remained silent.
"Du Yiyi, she is an interesting person, and I don't know what kind of expression she should have when she sees the holy decree?" Ning Zhiyuan rubbed shoulders with the silent Chang Liu, lay down on the soft couch, put his hands behind his head, he stared at the colorful painted beams and pillars on the roof, and sneered.
"A doctor will never give up on his patients, I can't help you with anything, helping you heal your illness is the only thing I can do for myself." Listening to the sneers in this life, Chang Chuan has passed around, to make a decision, some people need a lifetime, some people need ten years, some people need a day, but he only needs ten breaths, everyone will have a role they want to play well, Ning Zhiyuan wants to play the person who disturbs a river, he just wants to be a doctor with a clear conscience.
"Chang Liu, I really didn't misunderstand you."
often turned around, and what caught his eye was Ning Zhiyuan's eyes that were so distinct.
It was a pair of dead wood eyes like spring.
After the eunuch arrived in the Shen Mansion, the news of the emperor's marriage spread, and unlike what everyone thought and heard, the man who gave the marriage was not Ning Chaoge, but Ning Zhiyuan, who was usually the least noticeable.
Although there is this change, the woman who was given the marriage is Shen Ke's sister, so for a while, the civil and military ministers and nobles who heard the news flocked to the Shen Mansion to congratulate, and those who had a grudge against Shen Ke because of Shen Ke's rejection of the proposal also sent generous gifts in person, for fear that they would offend Shen Ke and Ning Zhiyuan.
Marrying a nobleman or the prince of the heavenly family, this is a choice that blind and deaf people can also make, the people living outside the Shen Mansion looked at the sudden excitement of the Shen Mansion on this day, and they also spread the matter with relish, it turned out that Shen Ke refused to propose relatives, just because there was a holy judgment above, now the Shen Mansion family is glorious, Shen Ke is a hussar general, Lu Xiangxue is the daughter of the prime minister, Du Yiyi is going to marry the prince and become a princess, of course, everyone still remembers, this marriage is only two months after the last marriage to Shen Ke. It's only less than half a year since Shen Kebai Hussar General!
In half a year, the portal supported by Shen Ke alone grew rapidly, as if it had squeezed into those noble clans, such a speed, such an imperial grace, how could it not make people envious and jealous.
The emperor suddenly changed his mind, even Shen Ke didn't dare to ask why, in the few words of Shu Ruhai, he roughly guessed why, now the guests are coming to the door with congratulatory gifts, and he, the host, has no other way than to open the door to receive guests.
It turned out that he had a few exchanges with Ning Zhiyuan, and he could also see that Ning Zhiyuan had a kind temperament and was easy to get along with, but of course, being an elder brother wanted his sister to marry a person who was perfect and couldn't find fault with him.
"How is Yiyi doing now?" It was already evening when the guests were sent away, and as soon as Shen Ke returned to the house, he asked about Du Yiyi.
"Yiyi is a stubborn person, he doesn't say it, he must be unwilling in his heart, husband, the holy decree did not say when the marriage date will be, and the emperor can let people come to pass the word later?"
