Chapter 45 Sit down and say goodbye
-->
Murong Lin looked at Li Jiao in a daze and didn't say a word.
Shen Pearl was embarrassed. The medicine has entered Li Li's hands, but she can't bear to betray Lin Zhi's heart, and she doesn't want to see Li Li die. The bright eyes and Li Jiao reflected each other, and transmitted their thoughts and worries one by one.
Li Jiao's eyes swept over Lin Zhi's face, and he asked urgently: "How to obey the law?" β
Shen Pearl opened his mouth and called: "Yu-"
Li Jiao's face was gloomy, "There is no need to say more. Lin Zhi, if you don't want to save him at all, why do you still bring the medicine with you? If you are really determined to destroy this medicine, why not just throw it away, why throw it upwards and give people time? β
Shen Pearl cared about the chaos, and suddenly became enlightened.
Murong Lin said goodbye, and Shen Pearl clearly saw that there were still endless tears surging on her face.
Or, even herself, she doesn't understand her true heart. It turns out that behind her determination, there is infinite vitality. She finally left another way for herself and for him.
"Take it all internally, and you're fine." After a long silence, Murong Lin Zhi said a few words briefly, his steps were chaotic, facing the rain, retreating step by step to the outside of the courtyard, the night covered her face with sadness and joy, and the rain was like a curtain, drowning her figure......
The eldest grandson slowly followed Murong Linzhi, and Yan Ming held up an umbrella for him.
Li Li strode into the room, Li Qi was still unconscious, his face was like ink.
Li Jiao called Li Qi's name in a deep voice and said, "Lin Zhi has an antidote, you are fine." β
Li Qi didn't react at first, he heard the word "Lin Zhi", he "um" from his nose, his eyelids opened slightly, and he opened his eyes by force, weak and confused, and looked behind Li Li: "What about Lin Zhi?" I...... I...... To ...... with her Say a few words......"
Li Jiao had already pulled out the small stopper of the medicine bottle and said, "Take the medicine first, Lin Zhi will come immediately." β
Where it falls is only empty. Li Qi retracted his gaze sluggishly and looked straight at the fat jade vial, "This...... Be...... Lin Zhi...... The medicine given? β
Li Jiao nodded, and there was irrepressible joy in his tone, "Yes, you're not going to die!" β
Li Qi raised his hand and gently touched the jade vial, "Give it to me...... Look at...... Look, I'm ...... Do it yourself......"
Li Li hesitated slightly, but seeing that Li Qi's eyes were full of expectations, he couldn't bear to teach people to look at it, exchanged glances with Li Qi, and worked together to help Li Qi up, and gently put the vial in Li Qi's hand.
Li Qi seemed to hold the fat jade vial tightly, but his hand was finally weak, and he pasted the vial to his face inch by inch, hard, hard, and finally to his cheeks, with a gentle and satisfied smile on his face, "Yes, it's good...... This bottle is ...... And Lin Zhi, Lin Zhi's ...... Incense ......"
Before the word "incense" was heard, Shen Pearl saw Li Qi's hand suddenly raised, and before he could exclaim, he saw Li Qi throwing the fat jade vial out of the door, and the crisp sound of "crackling" was not inferior to a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Li Li jumped in horror.
Li Qi, this throw seemed to use up all his remaining strength, and he collapsed softly again.
Li Li flicked his sleeves and rushed out of the room.
However, Li Qi was so resolute that he deliberately threw the medicine bottle out of the room with all his strength. Under the steps of the courtyard, the fragments of the jade bottle were scattered and scattered, Li Li leaned over to explore the medicinal powder, the rain fell one after another, and the white powder melted and slipped, without a trace in an instant.
He seemed to be frozen, and he didn't move for a long time.
Shen Pearl went to hold his arm, his body seemed to be heavy, and his waist was arched, and she couldn't help him straighten up. The only remaining hope has been completely shattered, and no amount of persuasion at this time is as useless to him as a feather, and he whispered: "I'm still waiting for you, go in quickly." β
Li Li finally stood up slowly and with difficulty, on the side, there was a kind of depressed feeling condensed eyebrows, his sleeves were flying, and he turned back and forth indoors at the usual pace, and his feet were twisted at the threshold.
"Big brother," Li Qi closed his eyes, and black and red blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, soaked in the soft and brilliant gold threads, "I...... Understood, Lin Zhi...... She...... Eventually...... Can't, can't forgive me. β¦β¦ On that day, I was sorry...... She. Now, how can I ,...... Receive charity from her...... I'm going......" He opened his eyes again, the last of his eyes darkened, "you...... Beware...... ...... afterlife" The voice slowly lowered and could not be heard......
The remnant bell of the ancient temple in the distance was intermittent, and Shen Pearl even had a moment of trance, as if everything was half-awake and half-asleep.
Li Yu sighed: "His Royal Highness the King of Jianning, you have passed away-"
At this time, the rain outside the window is sparse and the wind is sudden, and the spring is biting.
Chang'an went thousands of miles, and looked at each other through the rain; The red face and red dust are forgotten, where to bury the bones and return to the old forest.
Shen Pearl obviously had tears in her heart, but she couldn't cry.
That year's personal welcome gift, Chang'an City was empty of thousands of alleys, the east city and the west square, the floating light was gorgeous, Murong Lin was as beautiful as jade, Li Qi was suave and graceful, and he was somewhat envious for a while.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives rode together, jade saddle white horses, fluttering through the city, and the citizens raised their heads and looked sideways. Li Qi said in his uninhibited tone: "Let's also get a boat to play?" β
The palace feast, the wine making thousands of tours, the drunken hibiscus pool, the pretend to be crazy.
There is also a noble concubine, once she has admired the grace of the ages, the neon clothes and feather clothes move Jinghua, the children of the pear garden are like clouds, and the Tang Dynasty song is flying in the sky. However, in the end, it was gloomy, and blood and tears flowed in harmony.
Life can be so prosperous, but it is so gloomy in the end.
A trace of resentment against Li Qi has disappeared at this time.
Someone whimpered, and looked at it, but it was a eunuch who had followed Li Qi for many years, only hiding in the corner of the room, hiding his face and weeping.
Shen Pearl was sad from her heart, and the eunuch had crawled in front of Li Jiao, kowtowed again and again, and cried: "Your Highness died unjustly." β
Li Jiao pursed his lower lip tightly, squatting in front of the collapse, tears welling up in his eyes, but he forcibly suppressed himself, holding the hilt of the saber in his left hand, and he didn't realize it because of the great force, and a trace of blood oozed out.
Li Mi reprimanded the eunuch: "You still don't think the matter is big enough, so you are talking nonsense here." He also said to Li Jiao: "Your Highness's actions today will definitely reach Your Majesty's ears, the matter has come to this, Your Highness is cautious, it is advisable to leave here quickly, and the affairs of Queen Jianning will be handled by the ministers." Some face, Your Majesty will still give it to me. β
Li Jiao looked at Li Qi's remains, and said in a deep voice: "Based on what Mr. sees, what should Li do at this time?" β
Li Mi paused and said, "Your Highness still needs to be patient." You must know that forbearance is helpful, and there is no love. As he spoke, he seemed to glance at Shen Pearl unintentionally.
Li Jiao stood up, turned around, and suddenly slammed Li Yu on the ground. Li Mi retreated again and again, and said with a solemn face: "Your Highness has done something, and the ministers can't afford it." β
"After that, I will leave it all to Mr. He is a brother, and he is a man who absolves his responsibilities with a bow, and he has no face before heaven and earth. After speaking, Li Jiao didn't look back, the saber snapped, and he walked away.
Li Jiao walked very fast, and a carriage was already waiting in front of the marshal's mansion.
Inside the carriage, it was dark and gloomy. Shen Pearl was soaking wet, the car was moving slowly, she only felt that the carport was rotating, her body was as soft as catkins, and her rain-soaked body made her feel cold, and she wanted to hug her arms, but she finally groped to shake Li Li's hand.
His hands were as damp and cold, and in the darkness, his eyes were as deep and distant as a sword, piercing through the curtain and stabbing in an unknown direction, and his body was as stiff as the shore, cold and hard as a stone. Shen Pearl clenched his hand and begged in a low voice: "Yu, if you feel uncomfortable, then cry and scream, don't hold it in your heart-"
"Do you know who is responsible for the death?" Li Li was silent for a long time and said in a low voice.
"That's me." Without waiting for her to answer, he had already spoken, and his voice was lonely and cold, "It was I who taught me to make friends and take advantage of the opportunity of Yamato Pass to defend against the enemy, make friends with the generals in the army, and accept them for use." It's me, it's me, the ,ββ who was the elder brother, who hurt him-" Li Jiao buried his head deep in his arms, and when he raised his head again, Shen Pearl saw that there were bright tears rolling down his eyes.
Li Jiao fell ill when he returned that day. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his foundation is deep, Shen Pearl has never seen him weak, but this illness is like a landslide, and the high fever does not go away. Although Shen Pearl was also unwell, she knew that she could not fall down at this time, so she supported herself, accepted the imperial doctor's consultation and medication, and personally served Li Jiao to change clothes and wash.
Li Wan came to visit, and she couldn't stop crying, "Being in the royal family, it's so cold, sister-in-law, I just hate myself for not being able to leave." β
Shen Pearl twisted a hand towel and covered Li Li's hot forehead, and the eldest grandson E and Murong Lin Zhi had left Fengxiang silently, perhaps not knowing that Li Qi had died. The imperial doctor diagnosed Li Jiao, who only occasionally felt a cold, which was not a major problem, and he could be cured in a few days by taking the medicine to dispel dampness and fever. However, after several doses of medicine and feeding, it is now the third day, Li Jiao still does not have fever, occasionally wakes up and says only two sentences, and sleeps groggily all day.
The slender fingers caressed Li Li's pale cheeks, Shen Pearl was sleepy, looked around left and right, waved his hand to the palace maid and said, "Let's go down." Only then did he turn his eyebrows and whisper to Li Wan: "What do you hear?" It can be seen that there are many eyes and ears in the palace, how can you say it easily. β
Li Wan smiled sadly, "What else do I have to fear?" Could it be that my father will listen to that woman again and give me death? β
Although Shen Pearl had already guessed one or two about Li Qi, he still had doubts and asked, "What is going on?" β
"It's all the evil things done by Concubine Shu and Li Fuguo, they falsely accused the generals in Yamato Pass in front of their father, trying to form a party, but it's a pity that my father listened to the rumors and wanted to take his life without verification." Li Wan said angrily.
Shen Pearl seemed to understand a little. Concubine Zhang Shufei and Li Fuguo are not false accusations, Li Li knows better than anyone else in his heart that he has a brotherly relationship with her, for her, for Murong Linzhi, they all have the same hatred for Concubine Zhang Shu, Li Qi befriended the henchmen, it was only what he wanted to help him plump his wings. Li Jiao fell ill, not only for Li Qi's death, but also for the sake of the sect. Li Qi's crime is not enough to die, and Su Zong is not a foolish and faint king, so ruthlessly killing his son, his intention is not to point to Li Li, whether it is to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, or to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey. Imperial power is an irresistible temptation for men in the world after all, even if it is a brother and nephew, he will not give in half a step. The former crown prince, the current emperor. Mildness and kindness have been replaced by indifference and silence.
Li Wan cried for a while, sighed for a while, and sat with Shen Pearl in the room for a long time before leaving. Su Zong has been inquiring about Li Jiao's condition several times in the morning and evening, and Li Chengyin and his wife, princes and grandchildren have either sent name stickers or come to visit in person, but Shen Pearl has not been able to answer and is even more anxious.
In the evening, he fed Li Jiao another patch of medicine, and Shen Pearl touched Li Jiao's forehead, as if he was being burned by fire, it was hot and scorching, and it seemed to be much hotter than the daytime, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. Commanding the imperial doctor, seeing that Li Jiao's face gradually burned red, his brows frowned painfully, his lips became more and more dry and cracked due to the scorching heat, and his heart was extremely frightened, he grabbed his hot hand and called in his ear again and again.
The imperial doctor hurriedly came, Feng Xiang was rainy in spring, and half of his clothes were drenched. I didn't have to dress neatly, and stepped forward to check the pulse, but my face changed greatly: "Oops, Princess, Your Highness suddenly has an evil heat into your lungs, and the pulse is dangerous, you must reduce the fever-"
At this time, even Li Fuguo rushed over on the order of Su Zong, listened to this speech, and shouted: "Then don't prescribe medicine, if Your Highness has a mistake, don't have a head!" β
The imperial doctor trembled and agreed, took a pen and paper in the outer room, hesitated for a long time, and wrote down a prescription while wiping sweat, Shen Zhufang asked someone to grab the medicine, but the imperial doctor did not hand the prescription to her, scribbled on it, added or subtracted, and then made a ball of the prescription for a while, and confessed: "Rong Lao Yu rewrote one." No matter how good Shen Zhu's temperament is, he can't bear it at this time, he bends down to pick up the wrinkled prescription, and when he raises his eyes, he sees the words "one or two raw rhubarb", and he can't help but be frightened, and then look closely at the prescription that the imperial doctor is prescribing, the dosage of raw rhubarb has been reduced to two yuan, the world knows that rhubarb is a medicine, fierce and strong, and the back can be cold sweat, reaching out to suppress the prescription that the imperial doctor is writing a book, and said: "Doctor, this princess has something to ask for." β
The imperial doctor put down his pen, wiped the fine sweat from the corners of his forehead, stood up and bowed and said, "The princess killed the old man, please speak." β
"The imperial doctor has been well-known for decades, and now he is the imperial doctor, and he thinks that the doctor should prescribe it?"
The imperial doctor's hand was still trembling slightly, his eyes were squinted, and he raised his head and replied in a low voice: "The medicine used by the ancient doctors, it is not 'the right medicine', these four words." β
Shen Pearl looked back at Li Jiao, and saw that he was unconscious, his cheeks were as red as a soldering iron, he gritted his silver teeth, and said: "In the past, Concubine Ben was fortunate to meet Mr. Sun E, the first famous doctor in the world, and I listened to his teachings about the doctor's prescription of medicineββ"
When the imperial physician heard the words "eldest grandson", he was fascinated, and bowed respectfully: "Please teach the princess." β
"Mr. Changsun once said that if the doctor uses heavy soldiers, the effect of the medicine is immediate, and he once said that if the disease is critical, it cannot be saved by a large dose." After Shen Pearl finished speaking, he remained motionless and condensed the imperial doctor.
The imperial doctor knew how to prescribe, but because of Li Jiao's identity, his net worth and life were all tied to it, and he only dared to follow the golden mean, impartially, and after listening to Shen Zhu's words, it seemed that he had to give Shang Fang the sword, and he turned his head and then prescribed medicine. This time, he wrote a lot more neatly, but he had to work hard for a while, and he had already given Shen Pearl a look. Shen Pearl glanced at it, saw that the item of "raw rhubarb" increased to one or two, closed his eyes, and passed the prescription to the palace maid behind him: "Go to the Shang Pharmacy with General Yan, and take the medicine according to the prescription, there is no mistake!" β
The imperial physician said: "Your Highness will take the medicine according to this prescription, and within an hour you will sweat and dissipate heat, and tomorrow you will be able to take care of the old decay and supplemented with the medicine of maintenance and neutralization." It's just that tonight, the princess must be taken care of diligently, and when she sweats, she must not enter the wind and cold again, otherwise the wind evil will return and the consequences will be unimaginable. β
Li Li took the medicine for half an hour, and sure enough, he was sweating profusely. How can Shen Pearl rest assured that others are waiting, before he does not leave the collapse, he twists a towel to wipe his sweat and feed water, Li Li occasionally sneaks out of his consciousness in the drowsiness, and wants to touch her face with his hand, but his limbs are as frightened as in the fire, the pain is unbearable, and he turns his head and falls asleep deeply. Although the sweat was constantly wiping, it was still like a river, and it didn't take long for it to soak through the middle clothes, so he served to change his clothes. After turning it over and over several times, he didn't realize that it was broken, stroking his forehead, Shen Pearl let out a long breath, Li Jiao's high fever had subsided, his body sweated less, and his cheeks turned from red to pale, and he could finally rest assured.
