Chapter 49: Now Is Not the Past (3)
In the Combined Palace, Xiao Di kept watch from dawn to dark.
At the beginning of the night, Pei Yao woke up in a daze, but his consciousness was still unclear, and after taking the decoction, he fell asleep again.
"Your Highness, this is the third time that the old man has explained to you." When Mr. Yiyuan was called again to check the drunken ghost's pulse, his temper was worn out, and he said patiently to Xiao Di: "The princess was unconscious at first, it was because she drank too much wine, but if Mrs. He treated her properly, she was already fine." As for not waking up at this timeβit's not 'fainting', it's 'sleeping'. β
Mr. Yiyuan reached into the hat, pinched the corners of his eyes, and said sleepily: "If you want to wake her up, it is very easy, ask someone to take a gong, and knock it on her ears to ensure that it works." β
Xiao Di frowned, his eyes stayed on the bed for a while, and then he turned around and asked Mr. Yiyuan again: "Is she really okay?" β
The hat shook up and down twiceβit was Mr. Yiyuan who nodded.
Xiao Di let out a soft 'um', judging from his long-lasting brows, it was obvious that he was still not at ease.
Mr. Yiyuan looked at him silently for a long time, his eyes moved to his arm little by little, and his sleepiness slowly faded.
With dark sleeves and scarred arms, Mr. Yiyuan turned his head to look at the person on the bed, and suddenly thought, perhaps, this drunk ghost will be Xiao Di's life?
- It's easier to empathize with a dead person than to expect a dead person to come back to life, right?
Thinking like this, he slowly tried to say, "Your Highness, since you feel so sorry for her so much, why did you give her a reason to get drunk?" β
Xiao Di was stunned.
Princess Chu has been married for several months, and she has been hiding her alcoholic nature very well, and because of this, whether it is Mr. Yiyuan or Xiao Di herself, she feels that the reason for her drinking so much is inseparable from the quarrel with him a few days ago.
I probably have to add the matter of Xiao Yun. Xiao Di thought to himself.
"I ......" he faintly showed some irritability between his eyebrows, sat down, and poured a big sip of cold water, "I don't feel much sorry for her......"
"Huh." Mr. Yiyuan loosened his muscles, lifted his hat, and pointed to his one eye: "Although the old man only has one eye left, he looks more poisonous than a colorful frog." β
Xiao Di couldn't help laughing.
As he spoke, the rain came in a hurry and saluted the two of them.
"Your Highness, something happened in the south!"
When the words landed, Xiao Di's face changed.
Pei Yaowei slept for a long time, and it wasn't until dawn the next day that she rubbed her eyes and woke up hazy.
As soon as she moved, Qingchen, who was sleeping on the side of the bed, also became conscious, and opened her eyes immediately.
"! You're awake! β
With this shout of joy, Yu Xu also woke up.
"I'm ......" Pei Yao's mind was extremely chaotic, and her eyes opened and closed several times before she realized that something was wrong: "This is the Hebi Palace?" β
Qingchen said: "Isn't it the Hebi Palace!" Early yesterday morning, His Royal Highness heard that something had happened to you, and personally went to the Qi Wangfu to pick you up! You're so drunk that you're unconscious, so you don't know anything......" She muttered a little, remembering that she was going to find Mr. Yiyuan to have a look, and after talking to Pei Yao, she hurried away.
Pei Yaowei frowned and closed her eyes, rubbed her temples, and tried to remember for a long time, except for remembering that she was drinking in the Qiwang Mansion, the rest was only a headache.
Her brain was so dizzy that it seemed like there were hundreds of little people dancing in it, and she couldn't remember anything.
Yu Xu dropped a few pillows for her, beckoned the little maid to come over with water, and said to her worriedly: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" Why did you drink so much wine in the Qi Palace? You just don't feel comfortable, and you shouldn't be so careless, it hurts your body a lot! β
"Wait, wait......" The words that connected her and Qingchen, Pei Yaowei finally figured out something, she widened her eyes and asked, "You...... I...... Are you saying that I was drunk in the Qiwang Mansion, and Xiao Di brought me back? β
Yu Xu nodded helplessly, and after a while, when she didn't speak, she asked in a low voice: "Niangniang, it's not good to call His Royal Highness the King of Chu by name." β
Pei Yaowei couldn't take care of this.
The news of "I ......" was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and for a while, she didn't know where to put her hands and feet, and pointed to herself at a loss: "I...... Drunken? Still drunk and unconscious? I...... Will you get drunk? β
Isn't this a strange story of the past and the present!
Yu Xu frowned, and her eyes couldn't help but become weird: "Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" You are not in good health, and the slave has been with you for all these years, and I have never seen you so addicted to alcohol, you ......" she said, her heart moved, and her tone softened: "Are you uncomfortable?" β
It's one thing to feel uncomfortable, but I really love to drink this wine.
Pei Yaowei thought so, but at the same time, she also suddenly remembered one thing through Yu Xu's words-
Things are people, and they don't have to do anything, and their current body was originally compatible.
Thinking of this, and then savoring the headache caused by the hangover, Pei Yao became frightened - he won't be able to drink in the future, right?
After a while, Qingchen pulled Mr. Yiyuan over and checked her pulse again.
The result was still no big deal, Mr. Yiyuan prepared a few medicinal dishes and asked his subordinates to take them, and then turned back to her and instructed: "In the next few days, the princess should have a good life and recuperate." In particular, remember not to touch alcohol again. β
"What...... What? Pei Yao heard the bad news, "Can't touch the wine again?!" She cautiously probed: "...... For a lifetime? β
Mr. Yiyuan was silent before he said, "For a while." β
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, Mr. Yiyuan said: "But for the sake of your own body, if you can really not touch alcohol for the rest of your life, it will definitely be beneficial and harmless." β
"That's absolutely impossible!" Pei Yao gathered her cloak, put on her shoes and got out of bed, came to Mr. Yiyuan, and rubbed with him with bitterness and hatred on her face: "Sir, look at me, I am not very elegant, but I can't walk when I see good wine, I ......" She held a breath and asked: "I just want to ask you, can you practice this amount of wine?" β
The hat shook from side to sideβMr. Ichigen narrowed his poisonous one-eyed and shook his head slowly but firmly.
"What about medication?" She still didn't give up: "Or before drinking, eat something to cure hangover - such as jealousy?" Or sugar cane, white radish or something? Isn't that a good recipe for decanting? β
Mr. Yiyuan pondered for a moment and said: "The poison in the left hand, the antidote in the right hand, the poison can be cured, and the body is also injured." He deliberately sighed to match her emotions, and said bitterly: "Princess, what are you trying to do?" β
Figure what?
Pei Yaowei thought silently: I just want to live up to the name my father gave me!
She lay down for most of the day, and at noon, she slept for more than an hour, and when she woke up again, her spirit was much better, and she couldn't stay in bed anymore, so she plunged into the study.
When Xiao Di returned home, it was already dark. When he came to the study, she was asleep on the desk, still holding a pen in her hand, and beside her, there were several scattered piles of medical books and ancient books.
She slept without a proper manner, and she didn't talk about sleep at all, and he looked at it from a distance, and for a moment, he laughed for no reason.
approached, just in time for her to change her posture, revealing the paper manuscript under her arm, Xiao Di picked it up and looked at it, and was angry and funny for a while.
There are seven words written on the paper: There is no wine on a good day, but it is a day.
Somehow, in a trance, he always felt that this wind was somewhat familiar.
After a few turns, she still didn't find a comfortable position, and after a while, she woke up hazy, and when she opened her eyes to see him, she was stunned.
Xiao Di was also stunned.
His gaze fell on her hand holding the penβher right hand.
A subtle strangeness arose in his heart, he frowned and asked, "Can you write with your right hand?" β
Pei Yao's back was cold, and she was completely awake in an instant.
She threw a hot potato, threw the pen aside, didn't answer his words, stood up, and asked vaguely, "Why are you here?" β
There was no response for the first half of the day, she was puzzled, and when she raised her eyes to look, she saw Xiao Di looking at herself and laughing.
That smile was so beautiful.
Her heart softened slightly, she lowered her head and scratched her face, and muttered unhappily: "What are you laughing at......"
Xiao Di didn't speak, Gu Zi walked up to her, stretched out a finger, and wiped it her face.
When he saw the ink stains on his fingers, Pei Yaowei knew what he was laughing at.
Her handkerchief rested on the table, and she was about to get it, but he didn't want to be preempted by him.
Xiao Di held Jinpa in his hand, but his face changed.
When he saw that her eyes were red, he thought it was because she was drunk, but when he grabbed the handkerchief, he found that it was wet.
"You...... Crying? He asked uncertainly, "Are you crying?" β
If he didn't mention it, she would have forgotten about it, and when he asked at this time, she lowered her head and flattened her mouth, and wanted to cry again.
"What's wrong with you?" He sighed, tired and irritable mixed together, and blurted out a tone that was a little choking: "Who offended you?" β
Pei Yaowei was provoked by this tone, and frowned: "Who offended me?" What are you doing like that? β
Xiao Di was silent and said to her: "...... I'm sorry. β
It seems that this anger is not directed at himself. She thought to herself.
"What's wrong with you?" When she spoke again, her tone softened, she thought for a while, and said, "Qingchen said that you didn't know what letter you heard last night, and suddenly left. β
She asked softly, "What's wrong?" β
Xiao Di looked at her, walked to the side and sat down.
"News from the south, Pan was assassinated on the way back to his hometown, and both the Duke of Guan County and Mrs. Wen were injured."
This news is not too surprising. Pei Yaowei was slightly stunned, but said in her heart: It's finally here.
At the other end, Xiao Di nodded, looked at her and said, "I'm done." It's your turn. β
"Say what?"
He asked, "What are you crying about?" β
Pei Yao was stunned, but this time, she really didn't know how to answer.
Thinking of the sentence she put on the paper, Xiao Di suddenly blessed her soul and asked, "For 'wine'?" β
