Chapter Ninety-Seven: The King of Jun Arrives
The candles flickered in the bathroom, and daisies, nasturtiums, and mint leaves swayed in the water, adding a bit of confusion to her confused eyes.
Looking at his reflection rippling in the water, Xia Qian raised her head and took a deep breath and let out a long sigh.
In the morning, when she slammed into the head of the bed with all her might, she was in the heart of death, and in that loud noise she felt her blood flying and shattering stones, who would have thought that there were only a few more circles of gauze and some blood stains on her head?
I was in a coma all day, just a few bits and pieces of dreams.
In the dream, there are fragments of her modern life, as well as the thrilling journey of ancient times, as well as those bloodstained Sanskrit words and the bloody face.
These dream memories lingered in her mind, Xia Qian's head was a little painful, and she reached out to support her head, which just touched the wound on the back of her head.
She screamed softly, and her body shuddered.
"You have a wound on the head, don't touch it!" Huo Zun reminded distressedly beside him.
Xia Qian's mind was in a mess, and all her thoughts and emotions finally fell on her mother's crying, which was very familiar, and the cry was heartbreaking, not like it was in a dream at all.
That dream was too real!
Is it difficult that the self of the 21st century has long since died?
Never see her loved ones again?
Thinking of this, her nose was sour, tears came out of her eyes, and she landed in the delicate red agate bath.
"Xia Qian, what happened yesterday was not good for me, I thought I could control it, but I didn't expect to hurt you in the end. I really feel bad about you like this! ”
Huo Zun's face was reflected in the water, and there was endless sadness and remorse on his handsome face, Xia Qian's eyes fell on the reflection of the two of them, and then he realized that his abnormal behavior had made the other party fall into deep self-blame and melancholy.
Her tear-stained eyelashes moved a few times, and her thoughts fell back to this ancient body.
Looking at the large and small strawberry prints on her body, she frowned tightly and asked softly, "Yesterday, the pot of wine sent by Mingyu, is there a problem?" ”
"Yes! The fact that we didn't have a round house was passed on to my mother's ears by a little maid, and my mother pretended to tell Mingyu to send the pot of wine. That little maid has been driven away by me, Bai Bing and Yu Nuan will live next to Qingyue in the future, and it will be convenient to take care of you when I am away. ”
"Did you know when you drank it?"
"Yes!" Huo Zun leaned forward slightly, and gently pressed against her back, "Because it's in the name of my father, it's hard for me to refuse." Of course, I drank it because you were the one who was with me. I thought I could force the wine out with internal force, but I didn't expect it to be ...... in the end Still can't help it! ”
After a moment of silence, she raised her head and sighed silently, laughed bitterly, and said, "I don't blame you for what happened last night, and you don't have to blame yourself." The reason why I am sad today is because I think of my relatives who are far away! ”
Huo Zun's melancholy eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he asked with concern, "Where are your relatives?" I'll pick them up and keep you company! ”
With tears in her eyes, she replied gloomily, "In another world!" ”
"I am also your relative, and I will take care of you for them for the rest of my life."
"Remember what you say, for a lifetime!"
His fingertips gently ran across the bridge of her nose and smiled warmly, "Well, I promise!" ”
Two bright red plush bath towels spread out on top of his head, one tied around his waist, revealing his sturdy shoulders and perfect mermaid line, and one wrapped around her, revealing her white shoulders and slender jade legs.
After feeding her a bowl of porridge, he took out a delicate carved silver box from the pillow, opened it, pinched it on his fingertips, sniffed it gently, and handed it to her with a smile.
The box was no bigger than a thumb, and the paste-like stuff inside was ivory, like the gouache that Qingyue had given her.
Xia Qian put it at the base of her nose and sniffed it, and the faint mint smell accompanied by the strong fragrance of roses entered her nose.
While admiring the exquisite pattern on the box, she smiled appreciatively: "This powder tastes good, but it's a little stronger!" ”
"This is what I asked for from the imperial doctor, and it is specially made to heal the concubines in the palace. I'll paint it for you! ”
"Heal?"
She stared at him in alarm.
"If you don't apply medicine, the marks on your body will fade in about seven days, and I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of bed for a few days."
"No...... I'm not that squeamish, it won't take that long! Besides, I can lie at home, it's so cold outside, just to keep out the cold. ”
Huo Zun moved towards her with a smile, and persuaded softly: "Lord Jun will arrive on the fifth day of the first month, maybe he will come to see you." When you are down, your head is wrapped in thick gauze, your body is full of red marks, and your legs can't get out of bed, what will this old friend think? If this news spreads to the streets, how will you go out in the future? ”
The panic in her eyes spread to her cheeks, and last time because of the matter of grinding the mirror, she angrily wrote a letter of renunciation to the prince of Jun, who was neither male nor female.
With the noble identity of the other party's princess and prince, he will definitely come to vent his anger, and this matter may be polished by the other party, and the city will be full of wind and rain, so that he will never have the face to see people again.
"I....... Do it yourself! ”
"You have injuries all over your body, and it's inconvenient for you!"
Seeing that he moved to him again, Xia Qian instinctively retreated to the corner, touched the head of the bed with her hand, and felt that the cool and smooth mutton fat jade bed became warm and uneven.
Looking back, I found that the bed had been replaced with a full-walled Qiangong bed carved from yellow rosewood, and the bed was carefully inlaid with colorful gemstones.
The drapery on the top of the head turned pink and purple, and in addition to the night pearl the size of an apple, there were more than twenty beads the size of plums and peanuts on the top of the head.
After the candle flame is extinguished, the soft light of the night pearl gradually brightens.
On the top of the bed, the moonlight is soft and the stars are dotted, forming a beautiful picture of the starry sky.
"The stars hold the moon, do you like it?" He asked softly.
"Hmm!"
"Close your eyes!"
She curled up in the corner of the bed and looked at him for a long time, and finally closed her eyes with trepidation.
The moment his fingers touched her neck, her shoulders shuddered and her eyes opened.
He ripped off his big red bath towel and flew over the top of the bed, landing firmly on top of her head, blocking her view tightly.
"Don't move, you'll be fine soon!"
As he spoke, he began to apply the medicine to her neck, removing the bath towel from her shoulders and arms all the way down, and carefully applying the medicine to her.
The fragrance of roses flowed into her nose, the coolness of mint spread from her skin to her heart, and the psychological panic and physical discomfort gradually receded.
On the third day of junior high school, she was finally able to barely get out of bed, and the sunlight sprinkled from the big plane tree, shining on the Eight Immortals table in the yard, which was very comfortable.
Xia Qian was sitting in the courtyard, and as soon as a spoonful of ginseng soup was sent down, she heard angry shouts outside.
"Xia Qian, you come out to this king!"
A loud female voice came from outside the courtyard, Xia Qian looked up, her fingers stiffened, and the soup spoon slipped into the bowl.
The visitor walked in front of her, slapped a piece of tissue paper on the table with a "snap", and glared at Xia Qian angrily.
"What do you mean by that? Make it clear to the king! ”
Xia Qian looked at the other party in a daze, this person was heroic and delicate, although she was dressed up as a man, it did not affect her handsome temperament at all.
Didn't you say that the fifth day of junior high school arrived, why did you come on the third day of junior high school?
Xia Qian's heart tightened, and her back was cold.
