Chapter Forty-Six: The Lost Birthday Gift
Zhang Yue felt that she had slept for a long time, and in the haze, she seemed to hear someone calling her name, she opened her eyes slightly, as if someone was feeding herself, and someone was giving herself acupuncture, and she fell asleep again in a trance.
It had been three days since she was fully awake, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Tong sitting at the head of the bed wiping her sweat.
Xiaotong called in surprise, "Wake up, wake up, Miss wake up!" ”
The people next to him all gathered around, and the anxious expressions of Li Dongyang and Liu Shi came into Zhang Yue's eyes.
"Senior brother, sister-in-law, where is this?"
Liu Shi let out a sigh, "Xiao Wu, you are awake, you are in our Li Mansion, three days ago, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought you back, your chest was full of blood, and you looked scared to death." After that, you were in a coma for three days, and the doctor said that your situation seemed to be dangerous, but fortunately, you vomited blood in time, and the doctor helped you with acupuncture to stop the bleeding, and it was no longer a big problem. Fast! The doctor instructed him to drink this bowl of medicine when he woke up. Saying that, he took a bowl of medicine from the maid's hand, sat next to Zhang Yue and wanted to feed Zhang Yue,
Zhang Yue felt that his chest was much smoother at this time, "Sister-in-law, I'm fine, I'll drink it myself!" ”
As he spoke, he took the medicine bowl, drank the medicine, and handed the empty bowl to Xiaotong. Turning his head to look at Li Dongyang, who had been silent beside him, he cautiously explained, "Senior brother, it's really not me who caused trouble this time!" I didn't know how I was caught..."
"Senior brother knows, you can rest in peace!" Li Dongyang interrupted Zhang Yue's words, and his voice was slightly hoarse.
"Huh!? Oh good. Zhang Yue thought that this time he would definitely have to take a few words from Li Dongyang. I didn't expect it to be easy.
"Little Five?"
"Huh?"
"You have suffered this time, Senior Brother can't help you avenge for the time being, and those wicked people may have to go unpunished for a few days, but don't worry, one day, Senior Brother will let all the wicked people who have hurt you be punished."
Zhang Yue's heart swelled with warmth, "Senior brother, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me." Oh yes, such as... What about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Zhang Yue looked at Li Dongyang.
Li Dongyang said, "His Royal Highness took you back to the Li Mansion that day and guarded you all night, until the doctor said that you were fine, and he left in a hurry." ”
"Kept watch all night!" Zhang Yue was taken aback
"Not bad! His Royal Highness takes care of it very carefully! Feed you the medicine herself. Xiao Tong hurriedly interjected next to him.
"Oh, the prince must have felt guilty that this matter had affected me, and that's why he took care of me so much. In fact, even if it weren't for his reason, Wan Chao wouldn't have let me go. The prince doesn't have to feel guilty about me, this time he saved my life, and I owe it to him. ”
"That's what you think?" Li Dongyang was slightly surprised.
"yes, or else?" Zhang Yue flashed two big eyes and looked at Li Dongyang.
Li Dongyang didn't speak, just looked at Zhang Yue and thought about it.
In the next few days, Zhang Yue recuperated in the Li Mansion with peace of mind, and Liu would stew some warm meals for her every day. A few days later, Zhang Yue was already walking as usual.
On this day, Zhang Yue saw that the sun was good, and simply moved her body in the yard a few times, and Liu and Xiaotong decoction came back and saw it, and hurriedly persuaded her to go into the house to rest. Zhang Yue had no choice but to enter the house, Zhang Yue asked,
"Sister-in-law, why didn't you see my senior brother today?"
"Today is the emperor's birthday, your senior brother entered the palace with hundreds of officials in the early morning to congratulate, and he will attend the emperor's birthday banquet in the afternoon, I am afraid that he will come back very late."
"Oh, it turns out that the emperor has a birthday today."
Zhang Yue drank the medicine and was chatting with Liu and Xiaotong in the house. A family member came from outside the door to report that someone from the prince's mansion had come. Liu hurriedly invited someone in.
After a while, Xiao Jing came in in a dark red eunuch costume, and Zhang Yue was stunned for a while, "Ah Jing, it turns out that you are too ...... O eunuch! ”
Xiao Jing's face turned red for a while, and he glanced at Zhang Yue, "Hmph, yes, the miscellaneous family is the eunuch who serves the head of the East Palace who serves His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Zhang Yue was slightly embarrassed, "Oh oh." ”
Xiao Jing reluctantly took out a box of ointment from his arms and handed it to Zhang Yue, "Your Highness asked me to send it, this is a new tribute from Southern Xinjiang with an excellent ointment for treating trauma, Your Highness asked the miscellaneous family to bring it to you!" ”
Zhang Yue took it in surprise, "Such as... Your Highness sent it, in fact, my injuries have long been fine. Thank you, Ah Jing, Your Highness, has he been busy lately? ”
Xiao Jing's face changed, "His Royal Highness has entered the palace to congratulate the emperor on his birthday." ”
"My senior brother also went, and I guess they will come back very late."
Xiao Jing kept his face calm and muttered in a low voice, "Your Highness still doesn't know if you can come back tonight?" ”
Zhang Yue's ears were very pointed, "What did you say?" ”
"Nothing?"
"Ah Jing, you make it clear, what do you mean by not being able to come back? What happened to Your Highness? ”
"Your Highness's affairs have nothing to do with you in the future. The medicine has been delivered, and the miscellaneous family is leaving. Xiao Jing turned around to leave.
Zhang Yue stepped forward to stop Xiao Jing, "Your Highness is my friend, if you don't make it clear, you are not allowed to leave." ”
Xiao Jing's face instantly turned red, "Friend! Hum! It was because His Highness made you a friend that he exchanged the ancient painting that was originally intended to be used as a birthday gift for the saint with the original handiwork of Mr. Huanchu, and then in order to save you, he had to let the ancient painting fall off the cliff. ”
"This, I also know this, at that time it was really a last resort, so I had to change... Change a gift for the emperor. ”
"Change.. For what? Do you think it's just a matter of a painting? Wan Guifei and Wan An have already told the emperor that His Royal Highness went to Wuling Mountain to ask for words in private, and if there is no birthday gift in hand at this time, His Royal Highness's crime can be big or small. If it is small, it is not strict in self-cultivation and misconduct, and if it is large, it is the crime of bullying the king. ”
"What... What the? How did they know that His Highness had gone to Wuling Mountain before, didn't you go there in Weifu? ”
When Xiao Jing heard this, he was even more angry, "Hmph, if you don't mention this, I forgot, Originally, His Highness's going to Wuling Mountain was extremely secretive, but you were dragged by you to investigate what kind of flower picking case, and it would be okay if you were unlucky to be arrested, in order to save you, Your Highness knew that your whereabouts would be revealed, but you still went to the county order to reveal your identity, otherwise why do you think that the county order dared to search Wan Chao's home." If it weren't for the fact that His Highness's whereabouts had not leaked, how could the Assassins have come......"
Zhang Yue's head buzzed, and she felt that there were countless black shadows floating in front of her, it turned out that she had brought so much trouble to Rumo, and she was still boasting that she was affectionate and righteous to her friends. How ridiculous! Her heart slowly fell silent.
Xiao Jing seemed to let out the breath that was pressed in his heart, swallowed his saliva, and saw Zhang Yue's eyes glazed and silent, he regretted it slightly, if His Royal Highness knew that he told Zhang Yue about this, would he blame him.
Xiao Jing turned around and wanted to leave, as soon as his legs stepped out of the threshold, a soft voice came from behind him, "Ah Jing, you wait ....."
Xiao Jing turned around and saw Zhang Yue raise his head, a pair of clear and translucent eyes looking at him firmly. A powerful aura made Xiao Jing feel his heart tremble slightly......
