Chapter Forty-Six: He Gu Chaolu (II)
I was stunned for a long time, looking at the half-indifferent and half-hidden eyebrows of the cold and strange young man in front of me, and saved a smile for a long time: "I'm Futan, Chengkuo ......"
My voice trembled uncontrollably, and I slowly knelt on the edge of the bed and held his cold hands tightly: "Don't worry, think about it slowly......"
“…… ......Saying these two words with a sigh, Huan Ke frowned tightly, sighed for a long time, and then looked at it with tenderness, with a hint of worry: "It's that I have rested for a long time, and I haven't eased up for a while." He raised his hand and stroked my sideburns: "It's a little cold at night." This autumn seems to have arrived exceptionally early. ”
Somehow, my heart suddenly became sour, and I hung my head and couldn't say a word, so I could only nod stiffly, trying to force back the burning in my eyes. There was a moment of silence between them, and we wanted to say something to ease our emotions, but Huan Ke whispered: "You and I have known each other for a long time, and it seems that we have never really talked to each other." At this moment, why not spend the night chatting and passing the time? ”
As tired as he is now, where can he have the energy to talk to me? Knowing that he wanted to use this to appease, I shook my head and said nothing, but Huan Ke had already chuckled: "If you talk about the reason for meeting you, you really can't get around Zong Zhengxu." Even though I have been in contact with him for a long time, I feel that I have not yet seen half of this person's mind. How does Fu Tan evaluate him? ”
“…… Why did you suddenly ask him? I was stunned, looked at Huan Ke's peaceful face, and listened to him cough softly. After really lowering my eyes and thinking about it, I considered it and said, "Probably...... Standing on the edge of the cliff will feel unfathomable, and if you fall down, it will never end. Although he seems to be doing everything well, others are flocking to it and asking for things and things, he can be light and light, and he can catch it with his hands, but after several hard measurements behind his back, I am afraid that only he knows himself. ”
Huan Ke showed a thoughtful look, and I saw his eyebrows darkened when he was hidden in the dark, and suddenly realized the intention of his question. After all, Zong Zhengxu is to him what Qi is to me, and this mood is more or less appropriate.
I didn't want to work hard, so I stretched out my hand to tuck the corners of the quilt for him: "However, according to me, even if my face is bright in this way, I am really too tired." It is better to lie high on the East Mountain, gargle the stone pillow flow, and enjoy the vast scenery of the Qingming Dynasty, so as to live up to this life. ”
After staring at me for a long time, Huan Ke leaned over and held my hand, and sighed with a smile: "I was so stupid at the beginning, I robbed you to come to Hu Ru before I first met." Later, I always thought that I was afraid of being disgusted by you when I first met badly, but when I thought about it at this time, I wasted a lot of time in vain. ”
I couldn't help laughing, leaned down in the palm of his hand, and listened to his deep voice: "But even if it's like that, I still feel that the time of companionship is short." I only hate not to be an immortal, and I can't be by your side for a long time. ”
How he keeps making me cry tonight. Snorting, I feigned: "Flamboyant tongue, cranky, but can't you sleep?" Huan Ke just smiled lightly, and I collected some thoughts and said: "Illness and pain have always been the normal feelings of people, and this time it is just a small mountain, which can be climbed in a short time." Lord Zhao is proficient in medical skills and is rushing to Raolu, you can ......rest assured" As he spoke, a thought seemed to flash in his mind, I was slightly stunned, and Huan Ke was puzzled: "Fu Tan?" ”
"I ...... What did you say? That thought was extremely important, like a flash of light in the dark night, I couldn't help but grab Huan Ke's arm, and said hurriedly: "Cheng Kuo, what did I just say?" ”
Stunned, Huan Ke soothed me and clenched my hand tighter: "But it's normal to think about illness and pain?" In order not to worry me, the word life and death are omitted...... "This is it!" I was so excited that I couldn't speak, and I was incoherent: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, and no life and no death are fairy words!" Those twelve words are not groundless, they are hidden mysteries......"
I was surprised and delighted, and unconsciously shed tears, clasped Huan Ke's hand to wipe my tears, and could only keep repeating the words "great". He immediately came to Zhufeng and asked him to copy many copies of the twelve-word puzzle, and only asked others as a joke. And when I tried to think about the answer, I racked my brains and didn't have a penny. Fortunately, Guangqi flew the pigeon to pass the book, and Zhao Houyou needed to go from Xingzhou to Guisang to report on his work, and the two met on the way, and they could arrive at Raolu in a few days. I put down the thin letter paper and sighed silently, and when I looked up at the healers who were kneeling on the ground, my face was as usual.
"It's been hard work for the past few days." Slowly, I motioned for Huaiyan to hand out the money bags that had been prepared. "This little thing, just a little heart, I hope you will laugh."
"The princess is polite." I took it with a steady sip of the teacup and said in a calm tone: "I have explained to you before that the identity of the person who needs to diagnose the pulse is noble, and it is easy not to snoop on private affairs. It was only then that the curtain was closed, so that a few could judge. You are all the holy hands of medicine praised by the people in the city, and what you say is correct. Just in case, ask a few people to personally grab the medicine and boil it in duplicate. ”
Huaiyan cast a puzzled look, I just didn't know, and continued calmly: "One copy, I will test the medicine first." After that, if there is no other illness, the brothers in the army will escort you home safely. ”
“…… Princess, it is a medicine that is poisonous, if you are okay and drink medicine rashly, I am afraid it will not be beneficial to your body. A year old doctor Weiwei persuaded me, and I smiled and disagreed: "But the tonic is harmless." And you also say that the materials for healing are all gentle things, and there is no need to fight poison with poison, so there is no need to worry. ”
"Princess......" "Okay." After stopping Zhufeng's uncontrollable call, I got up and chuckled: "Today is to express my gratitude to you." It's a long way back to the room, so I won't send you off. Just a little. Stepping down the stone steps, I stood leisurely in front of everyone, whispering like a whisper: "Birds and thorns, be cautious to the end." This is a military camp, and many important matters are the secrets of the state, and there is no room for speculation by those with ill intentions. What can be said, what cannot be said, and what must not be said...... A few of you should understand the principle that trouble comes from the mouth, and trouble comes from the mouth. I don't have to say much. ”
Walking on thin ice and trembling, a few people kowtowed: "The grass people understand." ”
When I got up and left in a panic, I heard their voices disappear, and I bowed my head lightly and motioned for Huaiyan to follow. Zhu Feng was already stuffy, and he spoke eagerly, and persuaded him uselessly: "Princess! The general's condition diagnosed by these people is similar, there should be no mistake, the princess really doesn't need to test the medicine! ”
"There should be no mistake, even if you are still unsure in your own heart." I replied slowly, my fingertips unconsciously clasping my fingertips: "In this situation, you must be cautious and cautious." There is no need to persuade it. Raising my hand to stop Zhufeng from speaking, I sighed rather tiredly: "I know it in my heart." ”
I don't know if this is the case or if Zhufeng deliberately did it to dispel my thoughts, several bowls of medicinal drinks are more bitter than one bowl. I didn't dare to eat candied fruit because it didn't affect the efficacy of the medicine, so I had to think about something to divert my attention. After drinking like this for two days, I felt that there was nothing wrong with me, so I ordered Zhufeng to send those good doctors home. In the evening, he cooked a bowl of potion but didn't dare to feed Huan Ke, so he was at a loss and restless, and waited until the early morning of the next day.
Zhao Houyou was in the dust at this time and stepped into Huan Ke's room.
Surprised and delighted, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly relaxed my spirit was a little dizzy, I couldn't help myself, and just stood aside and watched Zhao Houyou diagnose the pulse. He first prescribed some mild herbs to stabilize his condition, as if he saw that my face was not good, and said with relief: "Although the poison in the prince's body is slightly tricky, it is by no means incurable. Things are man-made, the prince is resolute, and he will be able to turn evil into good fortune. It's just that the lower officials see that Miss Meng's spirit is not as good as at the beginning, and the lower officials are talkative, and they hope that Miss Meng will not forget to recuperate herself. ”
"Thank you, Lord Zhao. I'm sorry for you. I smiled lightly, remembering the anagram and hoping to mention it, Zhao Houyou frowned: "'No life and no death' is indeed reasonable for immortals, but how can there ever be anything in the world that is 'skinless and boneless'?" That Zhuang Yong always said that he liked ancient words, and he really learned this roundabout thoroughly. ”
Just as he was silent and brought in the boiled medicinal soup at the right time, I softly called Huan Ke to feed him and drink. A thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, and I wiped it with a handkerchief, and said worriedly: "Didn't you catch a cold last night?" ”
"It doesn't matter." Huan Ke was looking out the window: "Today's sun is good, and it will definitely be able to drive away the cold." He said in a deep voice: "Regarding my recital of asking Rao Lu to rest for a while, has the imperial brother replied?" ”
I handed the empty bowl to Yu Yu, and turned around to straighten out the corners of Huan Ke's clothes: "I received a reply yesterday, saying that you are indeed tired from fighting in several cities, and I am hereby allowed to ask for permission for the army to temporarily stay in Raolu." General Guo Chuan had to return to Sang Fu and left yesterday. ”
"The royal brother and the regent are not worried about my self-respect." A sarcastic sentence that is not light or heavy, Huan Ke was silent for a moment, Fang Qi wanted to speak, Zhao Houyou suddenly opened his mouth on the side, and there were slight waves: "Lord Wang, Miss Meng...... Regarding the words 'no skin and no bones', Xia Guan seems to have some clues. ”
"Really? Lord Zhao, please speak. I was pleasantly surprised, and turned to face Zhao Houyou. He frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "In the conversation between the prince and Miss Meng, it was mentioned that last night was cold, and the sun was shining this morning. Isn't it inconvenient that such virtual things as wind and sunlight have no skin and no bones? But if you want to do so, ....... ”
There is no objection to such a thought, but if this is the case, there are too many things without real bodies in heaven and earth. My hand was clenched tightly, and I smiled lightly at Huan Ke, and sank into my heart: "What Lord Zhao said is very true, at least we know where to think." First try to combine the wind word and the light word with the fairy word...... Impatiens?! I looked up at Zhao Houyou: "Lord Zhao, can impatiens be poisonous?" ”
Shaking his head in denial, Zhao Houyou frowned: "Fengxian only has a very small toxicity, which is almost negligible." Yes...... Whether this 12-word puzzle is a poison or an antidote is also a tricky question. ”
"No matter what it is, there is finally hope, I'm afraid that I have worked hard to solve the mystery, but it has nothing to do with Chengkuo's disease, but the bamboo basket is empty." Thinking of it, I lowered my eyes to hide my emotions, and caught a glimpse of the sunlight shining on the ground through the window lattice, flowing and shining like a sparkling wave because of the breeze. My mind shook, I forced myself to stabilize my thoughts, my face was solemn after careful consideration, and I suddenly felt a heavy feeling in my hands, but it was Huan Ke who inquired and cared. Shaking my head to indicate that it didn't hurt, I followed this line of thought, made sure that it deepened a little bit, my mind was a little clear, I took a deep breath and spoke, but I found that my voice was shaking: "Lord Zhao, Na Zhuang is good at reading poetry and books, but he is most concerned about it...... The words of the Dongpo layman? ”
