Chapter Forty-Four: Dreaming from the Fabric

-->

When he had just handed over the hai, Li Jiao returned from the marshal's mansion and said as soon as he entered the door: "Today is hot and humid, and a heavy rain is about to be held." Shen Pearl thought that if it rained heavily tonight, tomorrow Changsun E and Murong Lin Zhi would be in a hurry, and said: "It's cool after the rain, and Mr. Changsun is in a good hurry." ”

As if to confirm Li Li's inference, as soon as the words fell, the spring thunder roared in mid-air, the wind suddenly rose, and for a while, the indoor and outdoor doors and windows "ping-pong" sounded, and the palace maids called to close the doors and windows. In an instant, the rain poured down, and the lightning was like a sharp blade in the sky, glowing with a lilac light, penetrating the clouds and the window lattice partition, and a thunderclap "chirped", and a cold light crossed Shen Zhuzhu's body. Shen Pearl couldn't help but tremble, and over there, Li Shi's cry was faintly heard.

The husband and wife were in a hurry, waiting to take care of their son, when the sound of outdoor boots was loud, and the thin figure in the wind and clothes flashed at the door. Li Jiao was slightly stunned, knowing that Feng Shengyi was serving in the Criminal Department, and he would never be allowed to enter the palace, but Li Jiao privately gave him a waist card in case of trouble, and told him that he could not use it unless he was in a hurry.

Feng Shengyi looked extremely anxious, stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Please Your Highness go and save King Jianning quickly." Another thunderclap struck the air, piercing through the golden cracking stone, and Shen Zhu's mind was confused.

"What's going on?" Li Li asked.

"My subordinates don't know. I only knew that His Majesty had given poisoned wine, and General Manager Li personally went to the Marshal's Mansion to issue an edict to King Jianning. At this time, I am afraid that it is approaching the Marshal's Palace. ”

Shen Pearl saw that Li Li's face suddenly turned pale, and wisps of cold sweat slowly seeped out from her hairline, she had never seen Li Li so flustered, and she was frightened for a while. Li Jiao's hand sank, and he leaned heavily on the door, as if trying to calm down this sudden panic, and then gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Quick, let's go." As he spoke, he walked like the wind, and even the wind and clothes were left behind.

At this time, the rain became more and more forgetful, pouring like a river raging, Shen Pearl immediately came back to his senses and called loudly: "Take the umbrella!" A few clever palace maids had already prepared umbrellas beside them, and immediately handed them over after listening to her words. She snatched it and hurried to Li Jiao's place to catch up, and Yan Ming immediately followed her.

Shen Pearl lifted the hem of her skirt, stepped deeply and shallowly across the courtyard, and ran out in one breath, Li Li's figure was long gone, the rain was like a woven curtain, stirring up smoke and dust, far and near, everywhere was blurred. Yan Ming persuaded: "The princess should go back, His Royal Highness will handle it properly, the rain and wind are urgent, you must not make any mistakes." ”

Shen Pearl ignored him and only asked, "Which way is the Marshal's Mansion going?" Yan Ming was stunned, and didn't answer at first. Shen Pearl sneered: "Don't you say it, the concubine will look for it one by one, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to find it?" ”

Yan Ming was helpless, sighed and said, "A certain guide for the princess is it." ”

An oil umbrella may cover the wind and rain?

Shen Pearl is worried about the deep brotherhood between Li Li and Li Qi, once Li Li has an accident, how can Li Li be embarrassed? For a long time, Li Jiao has been suffering from frustration and frustration, losing everything he originally had, from Chang'an Foundation to Jincheng County, how much more can he lose? Li Qi has never quarreled with the world, why did he attract a catastrophe? Su Zongxian's ruthlessness, why did he kill his parents and children?

If something unfortunate happens, I just hope that at that moment, she can accompany him, although she can't share the pain, but also share the honor and disgrace. Countless times, it was him, with his own body, who shared the pain and sorrow for her. She is a ** son, how much responsibility can she fulfill?

At such a critical juncture, she could no longer bear it alone by him?

The mud was dyed all over the long skirt, and the strands of hair hung down in the water, and the whole body was heavy, and the clothes were soaked through layers.

Her appearance was already very embarrassing.

The guards of the Marshal's Mansion wanted to stop her, but Yan Ming shouted: "Bold, don't meet the princess yet!" The guard hurriedly knelt down.

Shen Pearl waved his hand casually, and was rushing inward, the figure in front of him was stupid, and several inner flying dragon envoys and inner attendants held up umbrellas in twos and threes, and walked towards one person in a cluster. When I looked closely, it was Li Fuguo.

Li Fuguo saw Shen Zhuzhu, respectfully sang a promise, lowered his head, and the rain flowed down the umbrella held on his head, covering his face and making it difficult to see his expression, his tone was tactful, and said, "The princess is also here?" Our family is also acting according to orders. Our family knelt in front of His Majesty and begged for a long time, begging His Majesty to forgive King Jianning; But King Jianning's criminals formed a party and consolidated themselves, His Majesty was really furious, and immediately issued an edict to give a glass of poisonous wine, and our family had no way. The princess and His Royal Highness the uncle and sister-in-law of King Jianning, go and take a look, but they are still breathing. ”

Shen Pearl knew that things were not good when she saw Li Fuguo, and at this time, she was even more disgusted with him, so she said "um" and went straight inside. Yan Ming rushed forward and said to Shen Zhuzhu: "The backyard where King Jianning handles military affairs is located, the princess please come with you." ”

This marshal's mansion is the private residence of the local gentry in Fengxiang, although its scale is slightly inferior, there are also ten courtyards of all sizes. Shen Zhuzhu's heart is like a road under his feet, undulating and tortuous, chaotic like fluttering in the wind, the lights in the house are swaying and swaying everywhere, I don't know where Li Jiao is lonely and Liao......

Yan Ming finally stopped, pointed to the open door in front of him, and said with difficulty: "It's here." ”

The bright candle was held high, the light was as brilliant as day, and Shen Pearl raised his eyes to meet Li Li's gaze.

There is a trace of pain, from the heart a little bit, a little ripple, layer upon layer. Her two curved moth eyebrows couldn't help but lock together deeply, and her whole body was cold.

In his eyes, is it sadness, anger, worry, anger?

Even if he misunderstood her that day, became furious and then regretted it, she had never seen him look like this......

Life is originally life and death, and repeated rehearsals and loops make people's hearts tend to be numb and painless, and they must say goodbye to pathos and sorrow. But there is always something that cannot be given up......

She stepped forward slowly, Li Qiwei collapsed suddenly, closed her eyes and did not move, there was a touch of ink black in the center of her eyebrows, like a good Huixuan, and a little ink bloomed in the drag. Li Jiao stood solemnly in front of the collapse, as if condensing. Walking to Li Jiao's side, almost at the same time, she and him both reached out and held them tightly together.

Li Qi snorted and called out dreamily, "Lin Zhi-". He had drunk the poisoned wine, he still had his breath, and he did not die.

Li Yu stood beside Li Jiao and said in a low voice: "I just gave him a century-old ginseng plant, maybe he can live for three or two more hours, the crane top is highly poisonous in the world, and no one can ......solve it."

This sentence reminded Shen Zhuzhu, and she immediately turned back to Yan Ming and said, "Quick, go and ask Mr. Changsun to apprentice!" "The divine doctor is in Fengxiang, a dead horse and a live horse doctor, Li Jiao also woke up and hurriedly ordered Yan Ming. Yan Ming agreed and rushed away.

Li Qi coughed, a trace of black and red blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and gasped: "Yes,...... Before I die, I just want to ,...... Yes...... Goodbye, goodbye...... Lin Zhi's side. ”

Li Jiao lifted his head, put it on his shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "You will never die, Mr. Changsun will definitely be able to save you...... Don't worry, my father is so angry that he can't think about it. I will go and beg my father tonight, and he will forgive you. As long as you don't die...... Everything can change. ”

Li Qi shook his head with a smile, spurted out a mouthful of black blood, and said, "People like me, death, death is more than innocent...... Me, I...... No more...... Can't help you...... Big, big brother...... You must take care of yourself and take care of your ......."

This is the first time that Li Qi has called him "big brother" as an adult.

One mother is a sibling, close to the flesh and blood, less lost mother, and the same breath is connected. In his youth, every step, sadness and joy, love and sorrow, were always connected with him. Cutting off arms and feet will not be so painful.

Li Jiao's voice choked: "Why don't you delay for a while, knowing that I will definitely come when I get the newsβ€”why do you drink poisoned wine without even thinking about it?" ”

Li Qi stretched out a hand, grabbed the sleeve of Li Li's robe tightly, and said intermittently: "Hmm,...... Honestly, it's that I don't want to live anymore...... In this world, there is no ...... to live," he said, his eyes slowly closing lazily.

Li Li was anxious, shook his body again and again, and shouted: "Lin Zhi will be here soon, she will definitely be able to save you, you have to hold on-"

Li Qi's hand book holding the sleeve of Li Li's robe gradually loosened, and when he heard the word "Lin Zhi", he seemed to have the strength again, and he still held on to it.

What a hard wait.

The ink color penetrated, Li Qi's face was a little gray, and he sighed softly: "Lin Zhi...... She...... Won't it come? ”

Shen Pearl looked at Li Qi quietly for a while, and Fang said in an affirmative tone: "No, she will definitely come." Whether she remembers you or not, whether she still hates you or not, she will come ......"

A look of surprise crossed Li Qi's face, "Really? ......" reluctantly opened his eyes, looked in the direction of the door, and slowly sat up straight......

Murong Lin was dressed in white and snowy, and it was raining like a note outside, her clothes didn't seem to be wet in the slightest......

Li Qi reached out to her, and there was a hint of hope in his dead eyes, and he called out: "Lin Zhiβ€”"

Murong Lin Zhi stopped indifferently, his eyelids couldn't be microwaved, like the wind and clouds blowing across Li Qi's face, and said lightly to the eldest Sun E behind him: "What he has is the poison of the best crane top red." "Don't go any further.

Li Jiao jumped up and said to the eldest grandson: "Sir, you have a method of detoxification, right?" ”

Murong Lin Zhi had already turned around, walked as usual, and walked out of the door. Li Qi took a long breath, his hand was like a thousand pounds, and he hung down for a minute, his eyes were gray, and he fell back.

Li Li stepped forward and picked up Li Qi, seeing that his face was dark and his eyes were closed. The eldest grandson's hand was on Li Qi's pulse, and after a while, Li Li asked urgently: "How is it, how is it?" ”

The eldest grandson said: "The poison has entered the liver, and now he is passing out." It can't survive for a moment. ”

Li Jiao's heart was cold: "Sir, is there no way?" ”

Eldest Sun E sighed: "I have no choice. In this world, only Lin Zhi can save him. Seeing Li Jiao's happy face, he continued: "It's just that she definitely doesn't want to save her, otherwise, she won't turn around and leave." ”

Shen Pearl hurriedly interjected: "Is there any way for Lin Zhi to save him?" ”

The eldest grandson said: "Lin Zhi has been studying pharmacology for the past two years, and he is improving day by day. Last year, she used 100 kinds of poisonous herbs into medicine, combined with the extremely poisonous belly snake venom saliva in the snowy region, to make a unique poison in the world, which can be countered with the toxicity of Heding Red, and fight poison with poison to achieve the curative effect of detoxification. Slowly moving her gaze to the gate, Murong Lin was faintly visible, "She can't forgive Li Qi after all, and she refuses to save him." ”

Shen Pearl was shocked: "Sir, you mean that Lin Zhi has recovered his memory!" ”

She collected the venomous saliva of the belly snake and was almost bitten by the poisonous snake, and the scene was very dangerous. It was on that day that she suddenly regained her memory. ”

Extreme pain, extreme danger, such a collision finally allowed Murong Linzhi to recover his lost past.

Murong Lin Zhi walked in the rain. The rain splashed her skirt, which swayed gently in the wind, a thin and fragile back.

"Lin Zhiβ€”" Shen Pearl called her in a low voice.

Murong Lin Zhi didn't look back, chuckled as if he was talking to himself, stopped, and let the rain soak every inch of his skin. "Do you know that the night I was rescued by my senior brother was also like this......" She seemed to cry and laugh, only looking up at the gray sky, and said slowly.

Shen Pearl burst into tears, stopped, and listened to her.

"Senior brother rescued me. As soon as I saw my brother, I felt like I had escaped from a nightmare,...... I don't know what to do or where to go. Every step under your feet is a bump, so long...... It's been a long time, I seem to be running forward desperately, and the rain hits me in the face like crazy, but I can't care. There was a mess of things buzzing out of my head, and everything was black and mushy, and then, I didn't know anything......"

"When I returned to Chang'an, I still had extravagant hopes...... Who would have thought, he, he doesn't want me anymore, he's so ruthless...... Kick me out of the house......"

Murong Lin Zhi trembled everywhere in his body, and he couldn't suppress his grief.

Shen Pearl stepped forward and hugged her body tightly from the back. Murong Lin cried bitterly.

How long has she been hiding this heart-chilling grief? Or even she hid it from herself, thinking that she could let go, thinking that she could fill the forgetfulness with something else, but she couldn't. What could be more devastating for a woman than such a pain!

Murong Linzhi wept bitterly and said firmly: "I will never save him." ”

This time she returned, her smile, her indifference, her sentence "The son is polite", all carried a heavy load like a mountain, Lin Zhi, Lin Zhi, tenacious as a bamboo, far better than she Shen Pearl thought! However, after all, she is a delicate woman, she has both sorrow and hatred, and when she reunites with Li Qi, it is so difficult to calm down and inseparable. The sky is like a dome crossbow, enveloping the four wilderness, the creatures of heaven, why are they so cruel and tyrannical, countless women and men in the world, bear the suffering of the world, in this vast and vast world, like ants.

"You must save him!" Shen Pearl persuaded weakly, "Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life." ”

"No!" Murong Lin burst into tears, broke free from Shen Pearl's embrace, stumbled a few steps forward, turned around and cried: "I hate him, hate him, since I hate, why do you have to behave, my medicine can save anyone in the world - except him!" As he spoke, he took out a thumb-sized sheep fat jade bottle from his bosom.

"Lin Zhi, no!"

In Shen Pearl's loud and urgent call, Murong Lin laughed miserably, raised his hand, and threw the vial towards the sky.

Shen Pearl closed her eyes, unable to bear to see this jade shattered.

But he heard the sound of his clothes breaking through the air in his ears, penetrating the sound of rain, and when he opened his eyes, Li Jiao's body was like a cloud swallow sweeping the sky, flying and lifting, floating on the ground, only between the electric light and flint, catching the fat jade vial.
