Chapter 18: Don't hurt the princess by half a point
I thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out what Lei Jue's threatening words meant, and my intuition told me that Lei was definitely not joking with me, I should be vigilant, and it was best to follow what Lei Jue said, I should leave this place of right and wrong immediately.
I called out to Xuanhu a thousand times in my heart, and it turned out that I couldn't communicate with Xuanhu through my own mind.
To let Xuanhu know that I have to go, either I go in or she comes out, or I have to stand in this closed window and yell Xuanhu's name inside. However, for now, I'm not ready to play a crazy woman full of nonsense, and I can only hide the matter between Xuanhu and me, and I can't talk about it to anyone.
This time, I always felt that something was going to happen, and I couldn't sit still anymore, so I paced around the yard again and again.
About half an hour later, there was a sudden exclamation from inside the room, followed by a cry for mercy, and then a thunderous roar telling everyone to get out.
The Imperial Doctors really "rolled" out, and crawled in rows of knees at the door, and I could even see the Imperial Doctors trembling with fright, and one of the youngest little Imperial Doctors seemed to be scared to pee his pants, and the hem of his clothes and the ground were wet.
The palace maids, the guards, and the people who were originally carrying basins, boiling medicines, serving medicines, and constantly working inside and out also left the house, and behind the imperial doctor, they were really people who knelt in a courtyard.
At last, the room began to cry, a slightly low cry should belong to the queen, and another young and pitiful cry was undoubtedly Xuanhu.
"Won't you...... So fast? I muttered to myself, and then looked at Guoguo.
Guoguo didn't dare to say anything, but seeing that her eyes were already red, even Guoguo could see that something was wrong, I was afraid that Lei Nian was already fierce and unlucky in it.
The guard, who was dressed similarly to Cao Zhi before, came out at this time, walked up to me and arched his hand: "The queen mother, please let the princess in." ”
Cao Zhi took a step forward and approached the person and asked, "Why do you want to invite the princess?" ”
The man shook his head, "Brother, no matter what, it's not for you and me to ask. ”
It turned out that the guard was Cao Zhi's younger brother, no wonder he always felt familiar when he looked at it. I also wonder how Cao Zhi dared to stop in front and ask, since the queen summoned me, even if she wants to cut off my head, Cao Zhi is just a high-level guard, can he protect me?
It dawned on me that Lei decided to say that he couldn't help me, and I'm afraid that this is the case. After a dazzling half of the day's work, I actually forgot that I was actually a key person closely related to the life and death of King Xian, and I even stayed out of the matter, thinking that as long as I waited for Xuanhu to come out, I could get out neatly, which was really too whimsical.
I could guess seven or eight points, so I steadied myself, straightened my dress again, and went into the bedroom I knew all too well.
I knelt down first to meet the queen and the king of Duan, the queen was still grieving, and it was Lei who helped me up from the ground.
I saw that a knife with a silver handle was already placed on the window table, as well as a jade bowl with a cyan color all over it.
Xuanhu lay on the bed covered in blood and wept, the queen's apologetic gaze fell softly on my face, Lei Jue had already walked to the window, opened the window, and let the petals outside the house fly in, but did not look back, he looked at the cherry trees outside the window, standing very heroic.
I don't have much to say about this scenario. Walk to the table, pick up the knife in your left hand, and place your right wrist on the jade bowl. Fortunately, I have also committed suicide by cutting my wrists, and the method is not unfamiliar, but it still takes a lot of courage to shed enough blood with a single knife.
Maybe I overestimated myself, one knife, only a few drops of blood flowed, another knife, before it reached the artery, the blood began to flow, but it was still too slow.
The queen covered her mouth and cried sullenly, crying while saying: "This knife is like cutting the body of this palace, the pain of the heart......"
Hehe, does it hurt? It's okay.
I was also tired of cutting, so I finally closed my eyes and raised the knife in my hand to aim at my wrist and stab it downward.
Why doesn't it hurt? I slowly opened my eyes, but I was stunned to find that Lei Jue blocked the knife in my hand with his own hand, and the knife directly penetrated Lei Jue's palm, but Lei Jue didn't even frown.
"Decision!" The queen was shocked, hugged Lei Jie's injured right hand, and wanted to touch it but didn't dare.
Lei Jue said to the queen: "Erchen is fine. ”
After speaking, Lei Jue pulled out the knife inserted in his palm again.
I couldn't understand Lei Jue's way of doing things, so I asked, "Duanwang, what are you doing here?" ”
Lei Jue smiled helplessly, "If the blood of this king can save King Xian, it will definitely not damage the princess by half a point." ”
The still lake in my heart was thrown down by the thunderbolt, causing a ripple. I looked at him, and he looked at me, and my blood flowed into the jade bowl, and his blood sacrificed to the ground of the Falling Cherry Pavilion.
When the bowl of blood was filled, the queen hurriedly called the imperial doctor to come in and bandage Lei Jue and my wounds separately. The queen personally fed this bowl of blood to Lei Nian's mouth.
For half an hour, the corners of Lei Nian's mouth no longer overflowed with blood.
In an hour, Lei Nian's breathing became clear and steady.
Two hours later, the imperial doctor cut Lei Nian's pulse again, and the pulse was stable. At this point, Lei Nian has no worries about his life.
I stood with Lei Jue, and he sometimes asked me if my hand hurt, and sometimes asked me if my knee really didn't hurt anymore. This guy, why does he care so much about me today, it makes my heart beat very unsmoothly.
Xuanhu finally calmed down, she stroked Lei Nian's cheek, and she didn't know if Lei Nian could feel it. When she had touched enough, she came back to me and looked at me and said, "Thank you, Sister Wei, for being willing to save his life." ”
I can save it for a while, but I can't save a life, although I think so in my heart, I still smile at Xuanhu, and then Xuanhu disappears incognito again.
The queen finally put her heart at ease, came to hold my hand and Lei Jie's hand, and put our hands together, the gratitude in the queen's eyes was sincere, she said to me: "This palace will prepare for you, so that Hu'er can marry beautifully." ”
Maybe this is the queen's way of thanking, although I don't agree with this way, I still bow my head and thank you, "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”
The queen took out a blue jade bracelet from her hand, which was inlaid with a light blue cat's eye gemstone, "Hu'er, this is the dowry when the palace married your father and the emperor back then, and now it will be handed over to you for safekeeping." She put the bracelet over my uninjured wrist and stroked the back of my hand a few more times.
"Queen Mother, this is too precious, I can't stand it......"
I wanted to take off the bracelet, but next to me Lei Jue reached over and pressed my movements, "Do you still want to disobey the will of the queen mother?" ”
"That's not what I meant!" I glared at Lei Duel.
Lei Jue put on a smiling face, "Then don't hurry up and change your words." ”
It turns out that the mother and son are singing and harmonizing to let me recognize my mother-in-law! I thought that this kind of imperial family rules, how could I marry my daughter-in-law into the door to change my mouth, but I didn't expect that when I saw the queen for the first time, she gave a bracelet again, and she had to change her mouth, so she was too anxious, right?
The queen and Lei Jue both smiled and waited for me, I struggled for a long time, if I didn't call the queen mother, I would be too disrespectful to the elders, and I would not give this dignified king face.
"Mother...... The queen mother ......, "I stammered, but I finally completed the task."
"Good child, the queen mother is here to take care of Nian'er, the two of you will return to the palace early and recuperate with peace of mind."
It's so good that I can finally go, Lei Jue and I saluted and retreated, and walked out of the Falling Sakura Pavilion together.
On the way back to Haoyue Pavilion, I really want to ask Lei Jue: If I listen to your words and go back to Haoyue Pavilion in advance, do you really want to save your brother from death?
But after thinking about it again, this question is not very clever, and even if I asked, I couldn't get the answer I wanted.
