Chapter VII Alliances
Peony said of course, the owner of this body is Princess Ling, and King Ling is her husband, it is really natural to untie her husband's clothes and apply needles and medicines.
But she's a fake, and the one lying unconscious on the bed is also a fake! Let her strip the tsundere prince naked and apply needles naked, will she be a person in the future?
After hesitating, Song Yuanxi vomited blood twice, and his lips had turned blue-purple.
Peony hurriedly said: "Niangniang! I can't hesitate any longer, if I continue like this, Your Highness will die......"
The sentence "no life" woke Xia Taozhi up, when did this happen, do you still care about this? If the tsundere prince dies, she will have to be buried with her.
No longer hesitate at the moment, nod in agreement.
Peony immediately taught her the methods and essentials of needle administration. Then after retreating to the screen outside, he said: "The slave maid guides the mother here, the mother doesn't have to worry, just follow the guidance of the slave and the maid to apply needles to His Royal Highness." ”
After a pause, she said through the screen: "Lao Niangniang will first take off all the clothes of His Royal Highness......
“……”
Xia Taozhi's heart was beating fast, and she slowly stretched out her hand, her thin white fingertips trembling slightly, to untie Song Yuanxi's clothes. Because I was so nervous, I almost made the clothes tie into a dead knot. After a long time, she finally untied the belt of her clothes, and with a gentle pull of her shaking hands, she tore off the corner of Song Yuanxi's shirt, revealing a piece of white and delicate skin on her shoulders.
Her cheeks seemed to be burning, and she hurriedly closed her eyes, and she had a feeling of being a thief.
Peony urged again behind the screen, Xia Taozhi turned her heart sideways, silently recited that it was important to save people, and closed her eyes and groped to remove all Song Yuanxi's shirts.
Taking a deep breath, she opened her eyes, then froze.
I saw that Song Yuanxi's body was covered with large and small scars, with knife wounds and sword wounds, which spread densely throughout the body. There was a most terrible wound on the waist and abdomen, as if it had been pierced by a spear-like weapon, leaving a scar the size of a bowl.
Shocking.
She remembered that when she asked Prince Tsundere why he was sure at a glance that the body he was wearing was Song Yuanxi, the king of the Tomb, he said to her with a playful expression: "Just because I fought with him on the bank of the Weishui River for three days and three nights. Not to mention his appearance, I know where the scars on his body are. If you don't believe me, I'll take it off and show it to you? ”
Thinking about it, it seems that the prince of Xitu, the rumored "Xuanjia God of War" Feng Yuanjun, is indeed the best weapon to use is indeed a Xuantie spear.
Does this count as self-inflicted and self-inflicted?
It's providential.
She thought about it, and Peony urged her several times before she came back to her senses.
"Niangniang, there is no longer a moment of delay at this time...... Otherwise, His Highness's life will be in danger......"
"Okay, let's get started......"
She calmed down, took out the silver needle, and followed the acupuncture points indicated by the peony step by step to start applying the needle.
Under the candle fire, her face was like jade, and her expression was focused. Peony stood behind the screen, her head lowered, looking at the silhouette of the candle flame on the ground, and her heart was gratified. It seems that since the young lady of her own family got married, there is indeed something different.
Half an hour later, Xia Taozhi pulled the last needle out of Song Yuanxi's body, let out a long breath, and wiped her sweat. It's done.
The color of the bruise on Song Yuanxi's lips has faded, and his complexion has returned to normal at this moment, but he is still unconscious.
Xia Taozhi put on his clothes one by one, and then called Peony to come in and probe the pulse.
"How?"
"Hui Niangniang, the toxins in His Royal Highness's body have been temporarily suppressed, but it still needs to be injected three times a day, and it will take five days."
When Xia Taozhi heard this, her face fell, and she complained bitterly: "I'm enough to choke once, and I have to do it three times a day?" Five days in a row? My dear mother...... Isn't that killing me......"
Peony bit her lip and looked at her without speaking.
“……”
Xia Taozhi was most afraid that people would stare at her like this, but she felt a cool air on her back, so she had to surrender: "Okay, good!" Don't look at me like that, I do it, can't I do it? ”
"But I have a request, when I give the needle, I must not keep him awake."
Just kidding, if the tsundere prince knows, he doesn't know how to laugh at her. Thinking about his vicious mouth, she wanted to take out the silver needle and poke him a few more times.
"However, now that the toxin has been temporarily suppressed, His Highness will wake up soon......" Peony was a little embarrassed.
"I don't care! In short, he must not be kept awake. ”
"Niangniang, don't embarrass the slave......" Peony was about to cry again, but she was relieved to feel that her young lady had grown up after getting married, who knows, isn't this still the same willfulness.
"Then ......" Xia Taozhi rolled her eyes and asked Peony: "Is there any medicine that can make His Highness unconscious after taking it...... Forehead...... I mean the pain-relieving? ”
Seeing Peony staring at her suspiciously, she hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, when I just applied an acupuncture to His Highness, I noticed that His Highness seemed to be in pain, and twitched a few times, thinking that it was very painful to enter the acupoint with a silver needle......"
She just stood behind the screen and couldn't see the inner room, so she simply made it up. Peony's personality is pure, and she seems to trust her master, and she is very easy to deceive.
Sure enough, the little white rabbit peony immediately said: "Yes, yes, I remember that my father said that there is a medicine called mandala flower, and when taken in the decoction, it will make people numb and unconscious." It's just that ......" peony is a little hesitant: "If you take too much, it is easy to make people slow down, and even affect the mental ......"
Xia Taozhi's eyes lit up when she heard this, and there is this medicine?
She immediately followed the temptation and said: "Your Highness's jade body is precious, if only it could alleviate His Highness's pain and let him suffer less crimes......
As he spoke, he pretended to be sad and wiped away his tears: "I can't imagine that I and His Royal Highness have just married, and this kind of thing has happened...... My life is so miserable......"
Peony really felt the same way, and said with tears in her eyes: "Don't worry, Niangniang, the slave can adjust the proportion of the potion and reduce the amount, which can not only relieve His Highness's pain, but also not hurt His Highness's body...... Your Highness will be fine......"
Xia Taozhi was still pretending to wipe her tears, she was stunned when she heard the words, and said in her heart that this is really a good girl who is loyal to her liver and courage, and is sincere.
***
Five days passed in a flash, and Song Yuanxi recovered quickly and was already able to get out of bed and walk. During this period, two imperial doctors came to the palace, pretending to treat Song Yuanxi, saying that His Royal Highness the King of Ling was fine, and there was no need to worry, they had to rush back to the East Palace to treat His Royal Highness the Prince, so they took their leave. The implication is that there is even a bit of a fuss in the Strange Ling Palace.
Song Yuanxi sneered and watched them leave, without saying a word.
Haitang was young in the end, so she couldn't hold back her hatred and snorted, and scolded in a low voice: "If it weren't for our mother and Sister Peony to save it in time, I'm afraid Your Highness would have been fierce and lucky, how could it be your turn to make a gesture here!" ”
As a result, Peony heard it and reprimanded her.
But in any case, His Royal Highness the King of Ling turned the danger into a disaster this time, and the whole palace was overjoyed, and everyone respected this Princess Ling even more in their hearts.
However, not long after he was happy, a holy decree came from the Chu Palace, and the Xuanling King and his wife entered the palace for a banquet.
It was originally a dinner party, but because this was the first time that the Lingwang couple entered the palace after their wedding, it was reasonable that they still needed to go to see the emperor and queen thanks, so they left for Chu Palace in the afternoon.
According to the rules of the Dongchu royal family, the newlyweds should enter the palace on the second day of thanksgiving, but because the king of Ling was poisoned and assassinated on the night of the wedding, his life hung by a thread, so entering the palace to thank him and returning to the door were postponed indefinitely. The two of them parted ways with the intention of finding their original bodies, and went their separate ways, but they didn't take it to heart at all. Now that there is no hope of regaining his original body for the time being, he has to start dealing with these things with this new identity.
Sitting in the carriage entering the palace, Song Yuanxi sat on the cushion, closed his eyes and recuperated, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he was in a very happy mood. Xia Taozhi sat far away from him, sulking alone.
Last night was the last time to administer the needle, and Xia Taozhi ordered the peony medicine early to send the decoction of the mandala flower into Song Yuanxi's room. Having calculated the time, she sneaked into his room in the dark. The familiar sound of dense breathing came, and she snickered in her heart, this stupid prince, who usually looks very smart, is not so drunk by her three bowls of medicine a day that she sleeps when she says she sleeps.
lit the candle, she opened the silver needle packet, took off Song Yuanxi's clothes, and began to apply the needle with ease. She had now memorized all the techniques and sequences, and she didn't need a peony guide to administer the needle.
Half an hour later, she collected the needle, wiped the sweat on her forehead, and was about to put on Song Yuanxi's clothes, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, looked up, and was suddenly frightened.
I saw that Song Yuanxi was looking at her with her eyes open, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and there was banter in her eyes. She was startled, her feet were weak, and she almost fell from the side of the bed on her back.
One hand held her firmly, pulled hard, flipped in the air, and before she could see what was going on, she was pressed down on the bed by Song Yuanxi.
"Okay, little peach...... Oh my God...... He actually did such a thing to me when I was unconscious......" Song Yuanxi was naked, leaning very close, laughing evilly, and every word she said, she spewed a breath of heat in her ear.
Xia Taozhi was so ashamed that her face was red and her ears were red, and her mind was blank. A strand of Song Yuanxi's hair hung down, hanging between her neck, slightly itchy, but she didn't dare to move.
"You...... Can you put on your clothes first......"
Song Yuanxi: "Oh? He raised his eyebrows, and his voice became more and more flirtatious: "I'm going to wear it again?" Then who took off my clothes? You're taking off the prince's clothes, and you're getting more and more proficient......"
"I didn't ......" she heard her own voice, as thin as a mosquito, as if she was going to die in the next second.
"Huh? You don't? Song Yuanxi stretched out his hand and pinched her face, and said reluctantly: "Nothing?" Didn't take off my clothes? Or didn't you give me a decoction of mandala flowers? ”
“……”
He did, he knew it all!
Xia Taozhi was heartbroken, thinking that it was Peony who betrayed herself? But she immediately rejected the idea, believing that Peony was not such a person.
"You...... How do you know......"
"Do you think that I, the prince of Situ, am in vain?" Song Yuanxi smiled, but a few coldness flashed in his eyes: "Do you know how many people want to poison me every day?" A mere bowl of decoction with mandala flowers, huh? Do you think Prince Ben will not be able to tell? ”
Xia Taozhi said in her heart, why don't you poison you, it's really a scourge for thousands of years!
"Then since you already knew, you pretended to drink the medicine and fell asleep again and again, and then tricked me into giving you injections?" If you don't make it difficult in the morning, you won't be difficult in the evening, but you have to wait until the last time you finish the needle, and you will dismantle the bridge immediately after crossing the river!
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became: "You...... You despicable villain! ”
With a "thank you for the compliment" on his face, the tsundere prince casually grabbed a strand of Xia Taozhi's hair scattered on the bed, scratched her face with the ends of her hair, and said in a long voice: "You say...... What now? …… My innocent body has been seen by you, do you have to be responsible for others? ”
Innocent, you winter melon! Take responsibility for your banana peel!
She said hatefully, "I ...... to save you."
"Don't say it so righteously, if it weren't for the fact that you and I had lived and died together, would you sacrifice yourself to save me in this case, or would you leave me and leave, don't you know in your own heart?"
“……”
Xia Taozhi was speechless.
Admittedly, the tsundere prince is telling the truth. If they hadn't lived and died together because of that jade plate, she would have left him and fled to now.
The night was quiet, and there was a faint sound of footsteps in the courtyard, it was the peony that came. Every time the needle is applied, Peony will come to probe Song Yuanxi's pulse again.
Xia Taozhi was thinking about whether to shout for help, but when Song Yuanxi heard that someone was coming, he raised his voice: "What? Princess, after you spoiled the king, you even wanted to be irresponsible? The princess is so ruthless......"
The man outside the door seemed to stumble and then fled as if he were flying.
"You ......" Xia Taozhi was angry and anxious, and immediately went to cover his mouth, but he turned his head to avoid it.
"What the hell do you want?"
"I think you're responsible for me."
"You...... How do you want me to be responsible? As she spoke, she cupped her chest and stared at him warily.
"Hey......" Song Yuanxi sneered again: "I told you earlier, Prince Ben is not interested in you." After a pause, he said, "Little Peach, do you know? We probably won't be able to go back......"
The candle flame flickered, reflecting his face flickering brightly and darkly, unpredictable, and he said as if bewitched: "It's better to ...... Let's make an alliance......"
