Chapter 2 The Line Between Life and Death

Xifu Palace, the main hall.

Ni Guifei was supported by several close palace maids and entered the dormitory, after the fright just now, her face was still a little pale, but she had calmed down.

Several palace maids served the concubine and sat down, "Niangniang, let's call a doctor to come and have a look." ”

"No need, there is nothing wrong with this palace, at this time, when the imperial doctor is busy, there is no need to trouble them." Ni Guifei shook her hand impatiently.

Tonight's assassins were extremely powerful, in the two chaos, there were many injured concubines, and the hospital was almost too busy, not only to take care of the emperor and the mothers, but also to protect Prince Yu, who was seriously injured in order to escort him, and the guards also had a lot of casualties.

"Why don't you bring a bowl of soothing soup for your mother?" The palace maid asked cautiously again.

"No need, you all go down, let the palace be quiet, and just leave Xia Zhen to serve here." Ni Guifei said a little irritably.

All the palace ladies were ordered to retreat. Only Ni Guifei's personal palace maid Xia Zhen remains.

Seeing that she was gone, Ni Guifei took a long breath, turned her head to Xia Zhen and asked, "Why didn't you make a move just now?" ”

Xia Zhen bowed his head and said respectfully: "Miss, the slave maid was specially ordered by the lord to enter the palace to protect the safety of Miss, Miss is not in any danger, how can I casually expose my martial arts?" ”

"How come I'm not in danger!? The sword just now was almost about to cut me down, it was the sword of the man in Tsing Yi just now, I screamed, and I didn't see any reaction from you, fortunately, my father also said that your martial arts are very good, and you can definitely rest assured in the palace. ”

Alas, the sword is still a few meters away from you, besides, the target of these assassins is the emperor, as long as you don't get in their way, they won't waste precious time killing others for no reason, even if you beg them to cut you, I guess they will waste their time...... Although he thought so in his heart, of course he didn't dare to say this, Xia Zhen said helplessly: "Yes, yes, Niangniang is a lesson, but aren't you okay?" ”

"What if something goes wrong? Isn't it too late to say that? Ni Guifei glared at her angrily.

"Yes, Niangniang actually doesn't need to worry, the slave maid saw that you had been staying behind the emperor, thinking that the assassin couldn't hurt you, but the slave was negligent, please forgive the mother." Xia Zhen sighed secretly.

Ni Guifei "snorted" and stopped pursuing it.

"By the way, the opportunity just now was so good, why didn't you take the opportunity to solve that girl Qiyan?" The concubine immediately remembered a new charge.

"Mother, that girl has been hiding beside you and the queen, how can the slave and maid do it? How do you explain it when you ask for it after you make a move? ”

"By my side?" Ni Yelin had been in shock and panic just now, staring intently at the assassin's sword, lest any of them approach him, and where would he have the time to pay attention to his side. "Cheap her, this timid girl, she only knows how to hide behind people."

"You're not the same." Xia Zhen said secretly, rolling his eyes in his heart.

"But ......" Xia Zhen glanced at Ni Guifei's face and said, "I pushed Concubine Yun behind her back, but unfortunately her luck was so good that she actually grabbed Zheng Guifei and used Zheng Guifei as a shield, but she escaped once." It's just a pity that Zheng Guifei ...... "At tonight's banquet, when the concubines were in chaos, she took the opportunity to go behind Concubine Yun and pushed her, originally wanted to push her under the assassin's knife and borrow a knife to kill someone, who knew that she was blocked by the unlucky Zheng Guifei, she just fainted in fright, and she lay there and never woke up, because the position was too eye-catching, so that when the assassin attacked the concubine for the second time, she couldn't get close to it if she wanted to make up for it herself.

Ni Guifei was itching with hatred again, and she took a person of her own in vain, but she still didn't get rid of Concubine Yun.

After wandering for a while, there was no trace of sleepiness left and right, it was already three o'clock outside, I was afraid that it would be dawn in a while, Ni Guifei simply didn't sleep, and asked loudly outside: "Where is the emperor?" ”

The people on the left and right reported back: "Back to Niangniang, the emperor is now in Caiwei Palace." ”

"It's there," Ni Guifei groaned slightly, "This girl, I knew that there was this day, so I didn't have to waste so much effort in this palace, and I also found a carrot vine for her, and it was in vain that I didn't get rid of Qiyan this time, and getting rid of her was also a big trouble." ”

Not necessarily. Xia Zhi looked up at Ni Guifei and said secretly. With her martial arts and ear power, she clearly heard that the crisp and pleasant "clanging" sound that came from the moment the man in Tsing Yi stabbed Su Mi with a sword seemed to be the sound of jade jewelry breaking, I am afraid that the sword first stabbed some ornament on Su Cai's body, and then penetrated the ornament and stabbed the body. In this way, the power of the thunderous sword may not even be one-tenth. Looking at the speed at which Su Cairen's blood spilled after that, she could also judge that it was definitely not a serious injury.

Xia Zhen looked at Ni Guifei's face, forget it, let's not talk about it for now, there is only one punching bag in this room at the moment.

It's just that this Su Cairen's luck is too good, in this case, I am afraid that her favor will be even higher in the future. Is it really just luck?

At this time, in the Caiwei Palace, Qi Long was sitting anxiously in the outhouse, looking at the beaded curtain hanging at the door of the warm pavilion, and after a while, Imperial Doctor He walked out with a worried face.

"How?" Qi Long couldn't wait to ask him.

"This ...... With the blessing of the emperor, the sword stabbed the jade pendant in Master Su's arms, so Master Su's wound was actually not deep, it was just a flesh wound, and the female doctor in charge had already bandaged it properly, but it was just ......" He Ling looked up at Qi Long's expression.

"Just what?" Qi Long's expression was displeased.

He Ling shrunk his neck, plucked up the courage to continue: "It's just that the sword is coated with poison, fortunately, Master Su seems to have taken some anti-poison drugs before, and his body is relatively resistant to toxicity, and after diagnosing the pulse, he immediately took the secret antidote pill for her, so in fact, the poison in the human body has been basically detoxified......

"What the hell is going on, when will you wake up?" Qi Long asked anxiously.

He Lingtou lowered his head even lower: "This ...... It's hard to say that the talented person has always been weak, but now he has been injured again, and the poison has already been emitted in the body, so ......"

"You mean that Su Cairen doesn't know when she will wake up, what if she can't wake up?"

"If someone wakes up, everything is easy to say, if they can't wake up, this ...... We'll have to wait until two days later. Hearing the chill in Qi Long's words, He Ling shuddered, but still insisted on finishing his words.

Qi Long seemed to be gloomy for a moment, and he said expressionlessly: "That is to say, if Su Cairen can't wake up in two days, then her life will be ......."

"Back to the emperor, that's it." He Lingdao.

Qi Long's figure shook imperceptibly, and he was silent for a while: "I'll go over and take a look." ”

When Gao Shengnuo heard this, he immediately stepped forward to put up the curtain, and Qi Long entered the warm pavilion.

Su Mi was lying quietly on the couch, and Qi Long approached her, silently looking at the delicate face that was close at hand.

Originally, in his heart, Su Mi was just an ordinary palace concubine, although she was beautiful and empathetic, she could be regarded as one of the more outstanding of his many concubines, but it was only relatively good. There are countless concubines in the harem, and every time the beauty of the draft is endless, the ring is fat and thin, and the delicate posture is different, and his gaze never stays on a person for too long.

But tonight, when he was experiencing the most fearful danger of his life, it was she who stood in front of him. At that moment, he was really touched. At least in his life, there had never been a woman who was willing to give her life for him so clearly and actively, especially when the concubines were scurrying around under the power of the assassins, and even the queen and Ni Guifei only knew to hide behind him and tremble, Su Mi's actions shocked him even more.

Su Mi's face was as pale as jade at this time, and there was even more of a touching feeling, Qi Long couldn't help but feel a heartache, maybe the woman in front of him would never wake up like this if she fell asleep like this, and she was separated from yin and yang from then on.

"Your Majesty," Gao Shengnuo whispered on the side, "The Queen Mother has called someone over again, look...... Isn't it ......"

Qi Long has been standing here silently for a long time.

"Okay, I'll go over now," he paused, and said, "First call someone to the Queen Mother to spread the word." Tell her old man not to worry. ”

After a moment of silence, Qi Long turned away, walked to the door and turned his head again, and ordered: "Spread my edict, Su Cairen has made meritorious contributions to saving the driver, and he has been promoted to ...... is a five-grade concubine. ”

Mi Qing and the others, who were standing next to them, hurriedly knelt down and said, "The slaves and maids thank the emperor for his kindness for their masters." ”

"Ender......?" Qi Long smiled self-deprecatingly, and said happily: "Get up, so that you can serve your master." If only my kindness could really protect people......" There was an indescribable gloom in his voice.

After that, he led Gao Shengnuo to go.

As soon as the emperor left, Mi Qing, Mi Hong and Xiao Luzi couldn't help but surround He Ling anxiously and asked, just now the emperor was here, they didn't dare to be presumptuous, but now that Qi Long is gone, they are in a hurry.

"Doctor He, what's wrong with the master?"

"What should we do?"

“……”

He Ling didn't know how to deal with it, so he had to sigh and said: "Concubine Su's pulse is very strange, to be honest...... Alas, I won't say anything, a few girls and father-in-law should take good care of their masters, I hope God will bless, alas, ......" said as he sorted out the medical box, and left with a sigh.

The little palace maid guarding in front of the door opened the courtyard door for him, and when he left the courtyard gate, He Ling couldn't help but mutter: "It's strange, I was wounded by the sword and poisoned, obviously the pulse is so dangerous, but the fetal image doesn't seem to be affected in the slightest, and it is still as stable as before." Strange, strange...... Alas, forget it, it's none of your business anyway, it's better to do less. ”

While shaking his head, he went.

Fengyi Palace, inside the Fengyi Palace.

A voice sounded slowly, it was the queen of Daqi. She raised her head, looked at the little palace maid at the bottom of the stairs, and asked word by word, "Can you hear clearly?" ”

"Slave...... Slaves...... It seems that I heard such a sentence," the little palace maid kneeling at the bottom of the stairs replied tremblingly: "At that time, Imperial Doctor He was walking past the slave maid, and he seemed to have said such a sentence unintentionally, the slave maid ...... The slave is not very sure. ”

was asked so seriously by the high-ranking queen mother, and the little palace maid who originally thought that she heard very clearly began to become uncertain. At that time, He Ling had already walked out for a while, but that sentence happened to be sent to her ears by the headwind, and she heard it faintly, but the general meaning was still clear.

For a moment, the hall fell into an eerie silence, and the faint candlelight outlined a long shadow on the ground.

Half ringing.

"Okay, you can come and report in time, and you can be considered loyal, if it is found to be true, this palace will naturally not treat you badly, go down and receive the reward." The queen glanced at the little palace maid below and said.

The little palace maid hurriedly thanked and retired.

"Next time I arrange someone, I will arrange someone who is a little smarter, and I can't even speak clearly." The queen got up from her seat and walked to the window.

"Yes, Niangniang's Fengyi majesty is naturally not something that these mortals can resist." Yurui said respectfully while draping her in a robe embroidered with a golden phoenix. "Mother, just look at it...... What should I do about this ......? ”

"You go to the Tai Hospital, call He Ling over, and the palace will ask Concubine Su about the fetal image 'personally'." The queen was silent for a moment and said, her voice inaudible to joy and anger.

Yurui took the order and left.

The queen stretched out her hand to open the light gauze curtain embroidered with gold and silver filigree, and from this window, the scenery in the palace was divided into beautiful.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"You mean Doctor Ho has come home?"

"Yes," the little eunuch from the Tai Hospital said with a smile: "If there is anything uncomfortable with my sister, Imperial Doctor Liu is still there, it is better to ......"

"No need, when will Doctor He come back?"

"He's not on duty today, he'll come over tomorrow."

Do you want to send someone to find it? Forget it, that Su Concubine may not be able to survive this time. Yurui thought for a moment and sighed, "Okay, I'll come back tomorrow." "Turned around and went.
