Chapter 30: Concubine Li's Birthday Banquet (4)
"Sanfujin's skills are getting more and more sophisticated." Concubine Li smiled and applauded, stood up from her seat, and walked towards Zhao Mengtong step by step while praising her.
"Xie Li Guifei compliments." Zhao Mengtong saluted slightly, but looked at Concubine Li cautiously with her eyes, she felt an unknown danger, and her heart was a little panicked.
"I liked you very much from the first time I saw you, and I thought it would be great if I could marry our fourth child, but seeing that you are living so happily today, I am also very happy for you." Concubine Li walked up to Zhao Mengtong and took her hand with a smile.
Zhao Mengtong wanted to answer something, but he suddenly stopped because of a certain aroma, which was very fragrant and very strong, but it made Zhao Mengtong a little disgusted.
Seeing Zhao Mengtong frowning slightly, Concubine Li just smiled and hugged Zhao Mengtong as if she were her own daughter.
Zhao Mengtong was a little flustered because of Li Guifei's sudden physical contact, but found that the fragrance was even stronger, and this fragrance was simply from Li Guifei's body. Zhao Mengtong gently forced, wanting to push away Concubine Li, but found that Concubine Li was unwilling to let go of herself at all, as if she was delaying time, which made the uneasiness in Zhao Mengtong's heart gradually magnify.
At this time, Zhao Mengtong's gaze suddenly fixed on Concubine Li's step, slightly close to the step, the aroma slammed on his nose, choking Zhao Mengtong coughed, and the fragrance emanated from this step.
Concubine Li let go of Zhao Mengtong, at this time, Zhao Mengtong's legs were already a little weak, and she only felt weak and drowsy.
"Let's go back." Concubine Li smiled and sent Zhao Mengtong back to her seat, and she also sat back in her seat.
The third prince supported Zhao Mengtong with some concern, sat down with her, looked at her somewhat pale face, and frowned.
"What's wrong, what's uncomfortable?"
“...... I can't tell, it's just that my whole body is weak. Zhao Mengtong rested his head on the shoulder of the third prince, closed his eyes, and rested.
The third prince saw that Zhao Mengtong was just tired, so he hugged her tightly and made her more comfortable, and Yu Guang glanced at Concubine Li angrily, but she couldn't.
Shen Qingyan sat on the side, looking at Zhao Mengtong's increasingly pale face, very worried.
"What did Concubine Li do, why did Mengtong look so tired?" Shen Qingyan asked Yin Qi in a low voice, wanting to ask him if he had seen Concubine Li's tricks.
"......" Yin Qi just frowned and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Concubine Li sat on the upper seat, looked at Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan, smiled, then looked away and continued to talk to the emperor.
The sky gradually darkened, Yin Xiao waved his hand, announced the end of today's banquet, and the princes returned to the house with their wives and concubines.
Shen Qingyan was pulled up by Yin Qi, and after sitting in this boring banquet for a day, she was already very tired, so she leaned her weight on Yin Qi's body.
At this time, Zhao Mengtong was carried by the three princes to the palace gate, passing by Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan, Zhao Mengtong's steps were already visibly floating with the naked eye.
Shen Qingyan looked at Zhao Mengtong's weak back very worriedly, feeling more and more weird, intuition that Concubine Li must have done something, thinking that there was a divine doctor in the prince's mansion who Yin Qi invited to the mansion after getting acquainted, so he wanted to take Zhao Mengtong back to the prince's mansion, but this would expose Yin Qi's secret, thinking of this, Shen Qingyan raised his head and wanted to discuss with Yin Qi, but found that Yin Qi was looking at her clearly, as if he had already understood her thoughts, nodded and agreed with her idea.
Shen Qingyan smiled at Yin Qi, looked around and saw that there was no one else, and hurriedly ran to the side of the third prince.
"Third prince, there is a miracle doctor in the Prince's Mansion, it is better to bring Mengtong over to have a look." Shen Qingyan paused, wanting to organize words to persuade the third prince.
"Okay." Unexpectedly, the third prince agreed without the slightest hesitation, but his face was full of anxiety, and he wanted to send Zhao Mengtong over as soon as possible, "I will let my carriage follow you." After speaking, the third prince took the first step and walked towards the palace gate with Zhao Mengtong, leaving a stunned Shen Qingyan.
Shen Qingyan sat in the carriage, glanced back from the window of the carriage, and found that the carriage of the third prince was steadily following behind, and he felt more and more strange in his heart. Although these three princes have no quarrel with the world and respect Yin Qi, the eldest brother, very much, it is impossible to directly believe that Yin Qi, the "stupid prince", has some miracle doctor in the mansion, is it really because he is too anxious and confused.
The more Shen Qingyan thought about it, the more puzzled he became, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Yin Qi on the side looking at him and laughing, and a moment of thought flashed in his mind, and his eyes widened.
"The Third Prince has known your secret for a long time."
"Fool, I just figured it out." Yin Qi smiled and nodded Shen Qingyan's forehead.
"I see, no wonder he agreed as soon as I said it, and he didn't suspect it at all, it turned out that he was your person."
"The third child is not my person." Yin Qi shrugged, "The third child just said that if I need help that day, he will try his best to help me, because he doesn't want the country and the people to fall into the hands of a ruthless person like Yin Qi, but when everything is quiet, he will leave these noises and hide among the mountains and rivers." ”
"Sure enough, it's the third prince, this is his character." Shen Qingyan nodded, admiring the third prince.
“...... Don't admire other men. Yin Qi had a cold face, pinched Shen Qingyan's face, and pinched it hard.
"Big vinegar jar!" Shen Qingyan's face was pinched red, and he covered his face and complained about Yin Qi.
When he arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Yin Qi helped Shen Qingyan out of the carriage, and saw the three princes behind him running over with Zhao Mengtong in his arms, and Zhao Mengtong's dress was already wet with blood.
Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan's expressions became serious, and they hurriedly took the three princes into the mansion and placed Zhao Mengtong in their bedroom, at this time Zhao Mengtong's face was as pale as paper, floating with a layer of sweat, and one hand pressed his abdomen, in pain.
The third prince grabbed Zhao Mengtong's other hand on the side, looking nervous and worried, and his eyes did not leave Zhao Mengtong for a moment.
At this moment, an old man with white hair walked into the bedroom, walking like a fly, without too many wrinkles on his face, and his voice was like a bell.
"What's wrong with you, boy, didn't I say don't let me see you so often."
In front of this old man, Yin Qi's momentum was actually three points shorter, as if he was afraid of him.
"Old Liu, it's not me, it's her." Yin Qi said as he weakly pointed at Zhao Mengtong who was lying on the couch.
"Hmph." Liu Lao snorted with his nose, stopped paying attention to Yin Qi, and went to Zhao Mengtong's side.
"This Liu Lao, who is sacred, why are you so afraid of him?" Shen Qingyan pulled Yin Qi to his side and asked him quietly.
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's respect, Liu Lao's medical skills are very profound, although the method is weird, but he can live the dead, flesh and bones." Yin Qi solemnly corrected the mistake in Shen Qingyan's words, "And...... Every time Liu Lao treats my injuries, he will deliberately make me suffer a little. ”
"That'...... How many times have you been injured, and what does it mean to see you often? Shen Qingyan suddenly looked at Yin Qi's eyes.
"......" Yin Qi looked at Shen Qingyan, who had serious eyes, and couldn't answer for a while.
"Where is his injury, it is that he took poison and tested his resistance." Liu Lao interjected while taking the pulse, and rolled his eyes at Yin Qi.
"......" Yin Qi looked helplessly at Liu Lao, who shook everything out, and had nothing to say.
"It's hard, isn't it?" Shen Qingyan suddenly hugged him and buried his head in his arms, "I'll accompany you in the future." ”
Yin Qi hugged Shen Qingyan back with some surprise, his heart was moved and shocked, and his lips trembled a little and he branded a kiss on Shen Qingyan's forehead.
"You still dare to accompany him, be careful that I use medicine to make your pretty little face ugly." Old Liu's fierce voice interrupted the warmth of the two of them at an inopportune time, and the two looked at him speechlessly and stopped talking.
"Old Liu, how is Mengtong, her." The third prince saw that Liu Lao had finished diagnosing his pulse, and hurriedly asked about Zhao Mengtong's condition.
"Ugh." Liu Lao sighed, "My lord is fine, but he has been stillborn." ”
The third prince was stunned straight, and stretched out his hand tremblingly, hugging Zhao Mengtong, who was already unconscious, his eyes were red.
"Is there no way around it?" Shen Qingyan frowned, his eyes were a little moist, obviously Zhao Mengtong was still looking forward to the birth of the child with hope just now, and now that little life can no longer see this world.
"Who said no." Liu Lao glared at Shen Qingyan.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Liu Lao, and their eyes were full of hope.
“...... You people, when did I say I couldn't save it? Liu Lao shook his head, took out a needle pad, pinched a needle, and pierced it towards Zhao Mengtong's Duhui acupoint and Shenque acupoint.
"Yin Qi, prepare a poisonous snake for me, the stronger the poison, the better."
"Okay." As soon as Yin Qi whistled, Ling Guang immediately appeared, received the order, and in less than a moment, he grabbed a poisonous snake with a snow-white pattern all over his body and appeared.
"Yo, this beast is good, it's mine when I run out." Liu Lao immediately made eye contact with the snake, took the snake over, pinched the snake's jaw, made the snake's fangs exposed, and pierced Zhao Mengtong's wrist at once.
When the third prince saw that Zhao Mengtong was bitten by a poisonous snake, his heart jerked, but he was stopped by Yin Qi.
"Liu Lao's treatment has always looked scary, but he has never missed, believe him."
"If you don't trust me, don't use me, but I warn you, as soon as I take the snake and pull out the needle, the adult will die immediately." Liu Lao was very dissatisfied, he always hated people questioning his medical skills.
"It's rude, Liu Lao forgiveness." As soon as the third prince heard Liu Lao say this, he hurriedly apologized.
"Hmph." Liu Lao let out a sigh with his nose and didn't care about it anymore.
After a while, Liu Lao pulled out the snake and threw it to Ling Guang, and he took out a bottle of white jade that was nothing, uncorked it, and poured the contents on the two blood holes bitten by the snake just now, and the purple and blue medicine powder quickly seeped into the blood hole and disappeared.
Zhao Mengtong suddenly exhaled in his sleep, cold sweat had soaked his clothes, and his originally pink lips became pale and a little bruised. When the third prince saw Zhao Mengtong in pain, he wanted to go over and hug her, but when he thought that the treatment would be delayed, he suppressed his movements.
