Chapter 40: Healing
Xia Huaizhong and Li Qingshan looked ashamed at the same time, a little speechless.
At this time, Zhuo Haoxuan interrupted Zhao De in time and said: "It's none of their business, it's me who was careless, thanks to their timely arrival, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to stand here and talk to you like this, you don't have to be harsh on them." ”
Zhao De didn't expect that Zhuo Haoxuan's attack would be so serious, and after being shocked, he hurriedly agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty, it's the old slave who is talking too much, and the old slave has asked Xiao Fushun to ask Imperial Doctor Zhang, what do you think now?" ”
Zhuo Haoxuan sat on the soft collapse with the support of Xia Huaizhong and Zhao De, he already felt physically exhausted, and he was even weaker under the bumps in the carriage, but he also knew that Zhao De cared about him, in order not to worry him too much, he still forced a smile of relief at Zhao De, "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”
Looking at Zhuo Haoxuan's weak appearance, although Zhao De wanted to know very much what happened to Zhuo Haoxuan at the moment, and who injured him so badly, but after all, he was still more worried about his injury, in order to stop disturbing him and let him rest more to recuperate his spirit, he endured all kinds of doubts in his heart and didn't ask more, and after helping him lie down on his side, he didn't say more, just stood quietly aside, and moved his eyes back and forth between Zhuo Haoxuan and outside the palace with a worried and anxious face.
After a while, Xiao Fushun finally hurried over with Imperial Doctor Zhang, and as soon as Zhao De saw Imperial Doctor Zhang appear at the door, he immediately seemed to see a savior, and without waiting for Imperial Doctor Zhang to salute, he urged him to immediately treat Zhuo Haoxuan.
Imperial Doctor Zhang didn't dare to slack off when he saw Zhuo Haoxuan's face, and he didn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and ministers at this time, so he hurriedly stepped forward to check Zhuo Haoxuan's injuries.
When he saw Zhuo Haoxuan's wound full of blood, Imperial Doctor Zhang couldn't help but be shocked, but after glancing at Zhuo Haoxuan, who had a calm face, and Zhao De, who looked anxious, he didn't dare to say much, and immediately began to treat his wounds.
After a busy time, he finally finished dressing the medicine for Zhuo Haoxuan and bandaging the wound, and Imperial Doctor Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
Zhao De asked anxiously, "Imperial Doctor Zhang, how is the emperor's injury?" ”
Imperial Doctor Zhang glanced at Zhuo Haoxuan, whose eyes were closed, and whispered to Zhao De: "Father-in-law Zhao rest assured, the wound on the emperor's back shoulder is not deep, and it has not hurt the vital point, it should be fine, but there is too much blood loss, and he needs to recuperate, the old man will prescribe a few prescriptions for the emperor, and at the same time, the taboos on the diet will also be written, Zhao's father-in-law should pay more attention and carefully adjust for some time, I believe that the emperor will recover soon." ”
"That's good, that's good." Hearing that the imperial doctor said that Zhuo Haoxuan was fine, Zhao De's hanging heart was completely put down.
"It's hard work Zhang Aiqing." Zhuo Haoxuan slowly opened his eyes and wanted to get up.
Zhao De hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhuo Haoxuan sit up.
Imperial Doctor Zhang immediately saluted and said, "The emperor is serious, this is the duty of the old minister. ”
Zhuo Haoxuan waved his hand to signal Imperial Doctor Zhang to get up, "No need to be polite," and waited for Imperial Doctor Zhang to stand up before continuing: "Zhang Aiqing, the matter of my accidental injury this time is very important, except for the people in this palace, no one else knows, and you must never mention it to anyone again, no matter who asks, do you understand what I mean?" ”
Imperial Doctor Zhang was slightly stunned for a moment, but soon understood, and immediately replied: "Yes, the emperor, the old minister understands that the old minister has not treated the emperor today, and he has not been to the emperor's bedroom. ”
Zhuo Haoxuan frowned, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, but he still said lightly in a calm tone: "Zhang Aiqing, what I mean is that you can't mention my injury to anyone else, it's not that you won't admit that you have been to my dormitory. ”
Imperial Doctor Zhang looked at Zhuo Haoxuan with some doubts.
Seeing Imperial Doctor Zhang's dazed expression, Zhuo Haoxuan had to patiently explain: "If anyone asks, you must admit that you have indeed come to my dormitory today, because it was Xiao Fushun who went to the Tai Hospital to find you, and you came all the way from the Tai Hospital with him, you must have already fallen into countless pairs of eyes, if you say that you have been here today, it will only make people more suspicious." After a pause, he continued, "Today I did feel unwell, so I came to you for diagnosis and treatment, after you were diagnosed, I found that I was only suffering from some cold, but because you felt that it was a little different from the ordinary cold, for the sake of prudence, and in order to be able to observe the changes in my symptoms before and after taking the medicine in time, so you decided to take the medicine yourself and go to my dormitory every day to decoct the medicine until my condition stabilized." After speaking, he pondered for a moment, wanting to give Imperial Doctor Zhang some time to digest, and after seeing Imperial Doctor Zhang's face, he asked word by word: "Do you understand?" ”
"The old minister understood," Imperial Doctor Zhang hurriedly repeated, "Today, the emperor suddenly felt unwell, so he asked Gonggong Xiao to come to the Tai Hospital to announce the old minister's visit, and after the minister checked the emperor's pulse, he was sure that he was only suffering from some wind cold, and there was no major problem, but because the old minister felt that the emperor's wind cold seemed to be a little different from the ordinary wind cold, for the sake of prudence, and also to be able to observe the changes in the emperor's symptoms before and after taking the medicine in time, so the old minister decided to take the medicine himself, and personally went to the emperor's bedroom every day to decoct the medicine and serve the emperor to take the medicine until the emperor's condition stabilized. ”
"Good." Zhuo Haoxuan nodded with satisfaction, "Then during this time, I will work hard for you, Zhang Aiqing, go and get busy with you." ”
"Yes, the old minister has retired, and tomorrow the old minister will come to change the medicine for the emperor, and the emperor must not get the wound wet, so as not to get infected." After Imperial Doctor Zhang's advice, he immediately respectfully performed the farewell ceremony.
"Hmm." Zhuo Haoxuan nodded and said to Zhao De: "Let Xiao Fushun send Imperial Doctor Zhang back." ”
"Yes." Zhao De sent Imperial Doctor Zhang to the gate of the palace, and after instructing Xiao Fushun to escort Imperial Doctor Zhang back, he returned to enter the inner hall with Xia Huaizhong and Li Qingshan.
After Zhuo Haoxuan saw the three of them come in, he asked Li Qingshan: "Today's black-clothed masked man is the same group of people you met when you took Xin'er back to Beijing?" ”
Li Qingshan pondered for a moment and replied: "Returning to the emperor, it doesn't seem like it, when I took Miss Ling back to Beijing that day, the ministers and others encountered a total of two groups of assassins, the first batch of martial arts were relatively high, but they were each doing their own work, there was no cooperation at all, the second batch of martial arts was slightly lower, but they could take care of each other, but judging from the martial arts and cooperation of today's black-clothed masked people, they were obviously better than the two groups of men and horses that day, and the ministers felt that this group of people seemed to have been trained rigorously for a long time. ”
Zhuo Haoxuan groaned slightly and then asked: "When you sent Xin'er back to the house, I also asked Huaizhong to follow secretly, when I saw you enter the mansion, it happened that Wei Chifeng was also at the main gate, since he met Xin'er who was dressed as a man, and saw you send her back to the house, did you ask anything?" ”
"Back to the emperor, Wei Chifeng did ask why the minister was with Miss Ling, and he also heard Miss Ling ask the minister, 'Why did the minister appear in time when the assassin chased her?' So Wei Chifeng also asked the minister, 'What is the matter with the assassin that Miss Ling said? In order to allow Wei Chifeng to prepare and take precautions in advance, he told the truth about Miss Ling's encounter with the black-clothed masked man, but the minister also clearly explained the stakes of this matter to Wei Chifeng, and told him to keep his mouth shut about all this, with Wei Chifeng's cunning and cunning, he would definitely not cause trouble for himself, and he should know what to do. ”
Zhuo Haoxuan nodded, and then looked at Li Qingshan, "Xin'er doubts you?" ”
Li Qingshan hesitated for a moment, but still confessed: "Although the minister said that it was just a coincidence, but looking at Miss Ling's expression, I shouldn't have believed what the minister said, but fortunately, Wei Chifeng helped the minister solve the siege in time and opened the topic, so Miss Ling didn't ask, but the minister guessed that she might just suspect that the minister had been secretly following her, that's all." ”
Zhuo Haoxuan frowned and pondered for a moment, thinking that judging from the situation when she broke up with Ling Yuxin, she should not be able to pull Li Qingshan and herself together, even if she really had doubts, it didn't matter, anyway, she had already planned to take her into the palace to meet her after the injury was healed, as soon as she thought of this, she was relieved, and asked instead: "The hussar battalion went to support today, but Wei Wenjie led it?" ”
Li Qingshan and Xia Huaizhong nodded at the same time, "Yes." ”
"Did he see you both?"
Li Qingshan and Xia Huaizhong nodded at the same time again, "Yes." ”
Zhuo Haoxuan's frowning brows deepened a little, "If Wei Wenjie or someone else asks how the two of you can fight with the black-clothed masked man at the city gate, on the grounds that I ordered the two of you to investigate Xin'er's assassination on the way back to Beijing, remember not to let people know about Xin'er's daughter sneaking out of the mansion dressed as a man today, nor let people know about me Weifu going out of the palace to meet Xin'er, as for today's assassin, I estimate that Wei Wenjie will not gain anything, but you still have to inquire as usual, and then secretly send someone to investigate thoroughly," After a meal, He said in a deep voice: "Under my nose, there is actually a group of strictly trained troops, blatantly killing people in the streets of the capital, and the soldiers guarding the city to light smoke to warn for help, if this is rumored to go out, let me have no face in the Heavenly Dynasty!" Not to mention those small barbarian countries outside the Guan, I'm afraid that those vassal kings will take it as a joke or even an excuse and a handle to deal with me, even if you turn the capital upside down, you have to find out this group of people. ”
"Obey." Li Qingshan and Xia Huaizhong immediately respectfully accepted the order, and the two also knew that the matter was very important, so they did not dare to slack off, and immediately left the palace to do business.
Zhao De couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty, you have just bandaged the wound, don't be angry, so as not to crack the wound again, this matter is not something that can be solved in a while, you better take a good rest first, and when you have enough spirit and body, you can have the energy to deal with those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods." ”
Zhuo Haoxuan was indeed deeply tired, although he was anxious to sort out the clue, but he also knew that he would not be able to sort it out for a while, so he nodded slightly, and Zhao De immediately helped him lie down.
As soon as Zhuo Haoxuan closed his eyes, what appeared in his mind was Ling Yuxin's appearance as a woman dressed as a man and her words and deeds that were different from the past today, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved up, and she soon fell asleep.
