Chapter 72: The Man Behind the Scenes
"Zuo Tingxue, I'm going to kill you." Yan Congxuan shouted angrily and rushed up, just when he was still a few centimeters away from Zuo Tingxue, at this time, a black shadow flashed instantly, Zuo Tingxue was pulled by a person, and the soldiers hurriedly grabbed Yan Congxuan.
Zuo Tingxue was pulled by that person, her center of gravity was weightless, and she threw herself into that person's arms, she closed her eyes, only feeling that she had hit something very strong and weak, leaning on it There was a very warm, very happy, very fulfilling feeling, Zuo Tingxue opened her eyes and saw that it was Cui Zhi.
Cui Zhi is the righteous brother of Zuo Tingxue, the son of Cui Jinling, the soldier of the Ministry of War, he is handsome, generous and neat, affectionate and righteous, he has been guarding the border all the year round, he is a brave and warlike generalissimo.
Cui Zhi asked with concern: "How are you, are you injured?" ”
Zuo Tingxue shook her head, "Thank you brother for saving me, I don't know why you are here?" ”
"I happened to be passing by." Cui Zhi hurriedly said.
Cui Zhi and Zuo Tingxue chatted casually, and then he left.
Zuo Tingxue asked people to act according to the plan, and made Yan Congxuan and Liu Ruyan's torture worse than death, and let them be tortured to death.
After Zuo Tingxue returned to the palace, he rested, and he was always sleepy and tired when he was pregnant.
She didn't wake up until near dusk, and after waking up, Jiu'er hurriedly waited for her to wash.
"Queen, the emperor came just now, and when he saw that you were sleeping soundly, he left, saying that he had gone to review the recital." Jiu'er said as she combed Zuo Tingxue's hair.
"Jiu'er, you go back to the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion tomorrow and bring Su Su over." Zuo Tingxue didn't care if Feng Jinyi came, she just wanted to live a quiet life now and didn't want to be disturbed anymore.
"Queen, Concubine Shu sent someone to send pine nut cake." Xiao Min came in with a plate of pastries at this time.
"Put it down." Zuo Tingxue frowned slightly, Concubine Shu is a friend of the concubine, and she is on the same line as her, why did she send her pastries? Once you have a problem with someone in your heart, you can't help but be more suspicious of her words and deeds.
However, Zuo Tingxue has always been kind-hearted, since people are kind to her, she is also willing to be grateful, after all, they are all begging for life in the same palace, so why be too anxious to fry each other.
Xiao Min put the pine nut cake on the table, looking at the soft and glutinous pine nut cake, Zuo Tingxue did not have the slightest interest, compared to this soft and glutinous she wanted to eat sweet and sour things.
It is said that pregnant people are greedy, Zuo Tingxue has a deep experience, these days she always wants to eat this, and she wants to eat that, because she will always miss it for a long time if she can't eat, but she is just thinking about it, and it is always difficult to ask for it.
"Xiaomin, have you found out why Cui Zhi came back suddenly?" Zuo Tingxue asked.
"It has been inquired, and the war at the border pass has subsided, so Cui Zhi was recalled by the emperor's decree."
Why did Feng Jinyi suddenly recall Cui Zhi? Do you want to guard against the footsteps of Yan Congxuan on Feng Jinyi! Zuo Tingxue meditated hard there, with a sad face, thinking about her and dozing again, Zuo Tingxue felt that she was not pursuing it now, except for eating and sleeping.
Dazed and felt that there was a familiar breath approaching, Zuo Tingxue knew who it was, but he didn't bother to open his eyes.
"Ai Fei ......" Feng Jinyi saw that Zuo Tingxue was still sleeping, and he leaned over and called softly.
"Hmm......" Zuo Tingxue responded lazily, his eyes still closed.
"Concubine, look at what I have brought you." Feng Jinyi pinched her nose, and then bit her mouth again.
"What is it?" Zuo Tingxue opened her eyes very reluctantly, in the past two days, Feng Jinyi has become a little more interesting, and every time she doesn't come back empty-handed, it is probably some women's ornaments, because of his heart, she is very happy.
Women are the easiest animals to satisfy, as long as they give her enough care and love.
"Aifei, just look at it." Feng Jinyi pointed to the tray on the side.
Zuo Tingxue looked in the direction of his finger, but saw a few yellow apricots in the tray next to him.
"Is it for me?" Zuo Tingxue's eyes lit up, she was just about to eat something sour.
Feng Jinyi nodded, besides you, what other woman can I remember.
"It's great, thank you, Your Majesty." Zuo Tingxue hugged Feng Jinyi's neck, and then kissed him on the face, thinking of the sour taste of apricots, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"You're so happy with just a few apricots." Feng Jinyi pinched Zuo Tingxue's nose dotingly.
Hey, it's not a simple matter of a few apricots, it's full of love.
Looking at Zuo Tingxue's cheerful eating, Feng Jinyi pulled the corners of his lips with a smile, and then took a piece of pine nut cake on the table and put it in his mouth, which was soft and glutinous, so he put another piece in his mouth, and in this way, four small pieces of ink cake all went into Feng Jinyi's stomach.
Feng Jinyi put Zuo Tingxue into his arms, smelled the unique breath of Feng Jinyi's body, and Zuo Tingxue fell asleep.
Sleeping until midnight, Feng Jinyi felt like his stomach was being slashed back and forth by ten thousand hot blades, he held his breath, but the pain of the heart invaded his whole body, and he felt that his breath was stagnant.
He gently pulled out his arm from under Zuo Tingxue's neck, and then slowly got up, a sharp pain hit, Feng Jinyi broke out in a cold sweat, staggered out but accidentally touched the table and chair.
The sound of tables and chairs colliding startled the left listening snow in the dream.
"Your Majesty....." Zuo Tingxue straightened up and called in a shallow voice.
Before the words "Ai ......" Aifei were shouted, she spit out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing Feng Jinyi vomiting blood, Zuo Tingxue was stunned, but she quickly reacted.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Zuo Tingxue hurriedly turned over and got out of bed, ran quickly in front of Feng Jinyi, and looked at him at a loss, he was fine before he fell asleep, why did he vomit blood.
"Don't be afraid, concubine, I'm not in the way." Feng Jinyi endured the severe pain and was relieved, but as soon as the words fell, he spit out another mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, you have vomited blood, how can you not get in the way! Zuo Tingxue was very worried, and there was crying in her tone, "Come on, hurry up and announce the imperial doctor, hurry!" Zuo Tingxue shouted loudly.
At this time, many people were alarmed, Su Zhe, who was patrolling the night, rushed in first, he hurriedly asked people to pass the imperial doctor, and Xiao Min and Jiu'er came in later and were also scared and frightened.
"Concubine Ai......" Feng Jinyi saw Zuo Tingxue's anxious expression that he was about to cry, he stretched out a hand to circle Zuo Tingxue, although he tried to restrain himself, his body was still shaking slightly uncontrollably because of the pain.
"Your Majesty, why did you become like this?" Zuo Tingxue was going to be scared silly, obviously he was fine when he slept, why was this all of a sudden?
Feng Jinyi's throat was hot, and another mouthful of bright red blood spurted out, dyeing on Zuo Tingxue's water-colored dress, which was very dazzling, and then the blood couldn't stop spurting out.
"Your Majesty, you have to hold on to ......" Zuo Tingxue was very anxious and hurriedly urged, "Why hasn't the imperial doctor come yet, pass on the order of the palace, and let him come quickly." ”
"Love...... Concubine Ai ......" Feng Jinyi squeezed his eyes at her, signaling her not to be afraid, he reached out and tapped a few times on his chest, with his years of experience, he could be sure that this was a sign of poisoning.
"Your Majesty, tell me, what should I do, how can I help you?" Zuo Tingxue looked at Feng Jinyi dumbfounded, because suddenly she didn't know what she should do, and inexplicable fear swept over her.
"As long as the concubine accompanies me." Although he no longer vomited blood, the feeling of tumbling in his stomach and the sharp pain in his abdomen made Feng Jinyi lie down, and his face was as white as a piece of paper.
"Don't be afraid, for the sake of the concubine, I will be fine." Feng Jinyi held Zuo Tingxue's hand, his clothes were already soaked with sweat.
Zuo Tingxue wiped the cold sweat on Feng Jinyi's forehead with her sleeve, but the sweat kept pouring out, and she couldn't wipe it clean, and the hand holding her was shaking uncontrollably.
"Your Majesty, doesn't it hurt? If it hurts, you shout it, and if you shout it, it doesn't hurt. Zuo Tingxue hugged Feng Jinyi's trembling body.
"It doesn't hurt." Feng Jinyi shook his head, and tried to pull out a smile, he didn't want to scare her, but it seemed that she was still frightened.
Feng Jinyi's face turned from the original pale to dark purple, and then his breathing became heavy, but his eyes stayed on Zuo Tingxue, he was using his own internal force to support.
Zuo Tingxue wanted to cry very much, but she couldn't hold back and didn't dare to cry, she knew that her tears were the knife on the tip of Feng Jinyi's heart, because of him, she didn't even have the courage to cry.
"Aifei, I'm really fine, I promised you to take care of you for the rest of your life, I won't break my word......" Feng Jinyi raised his hand slightly, pinched Zuo Tingxue's face, and tried to make his face less hard.
"Your Majesty ......" Zuo Tingxue looked at Feng Jinyi with a sad face, she knew that he was comforting her, how could she be okay to the point of vomiting blood.
Feng Jinyi loosely encircled her in his arms, he was not afraid of life and death, he was only afraid that she would be injured and he could not do anything.
"Don't forget, I'm the emperor, there's nothing I can do about it." Feng Jinyi struggled every time he said a word, but in order to make Zuo Tingxue feel relieved, he held on, and he didn't dare to act rashly before he didn't know what poison he had.
It is true that you are the emperor, but you are also a human being, and life is the same for everyone.
Looking at Feng Jinyi's bruised face, the fear that filled the sky made Zuo Tingxue's face lose its color, and she felt as if her chest was blocked by a boulder.
When the imperial doctor arrived, although Feng Jinyi was a little prostrate, he was still conscious, which was related to his profound martial arts skills.
"Doctor, hurry up and help the emperor diagnose and treat." Zuo Tingxue saw the doctor as if she had seen a savior, and she didn't know that she was so worried about him.
"Your Majesty, this is poisoned." The imperial doctor quickly gave an answer after doing an examination, Feng Jinyi nodded, and sure enough, he guessed it.
Poisoning? Zuo Tingxue's eyes were round, how could the emperor be poisoned, was it unintentional? Or did someone do it on purpose? It's just that who is so bold as to dare to poison the emperor?
