Chapter 22: Critical Illness (2)

Heavy dark clouds entwined the moon, sometimes half-obscured and sometimes completely obscured, and the bright moonlight was no longer bright and quiet, but became dim.

It was already the third watch in the middle of the night after the review, Yuan Yongyan stood in front of the imperial study, the cold wind quietly surrounded him, and Lin Jikuo draped a purple cloak embroidered with dark dragon texture on his shoulders.

"Let's go with me." Yuan Yongyan took the lead in moving forward, Lin Jikuo has been by his side for more than ten years, he is not good at words but resourceful, he is a rare talent, and he also saved his life on the battlefield, so Yuan Yongyan trusts him very much.

"Yes." Lin Jikuo's resolute face was as deep as a knife carving.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and it was not the successor of the first emperor, no matter how good you are, there will be people who oppose it, thinking of the faces of those people in the court, righteous words and uprightness, as if they are really not afraid of death, Yuan Yongyan has a faint smile on his face, some clowns who jump off the beam are so afraid, one day they will shut them up.

"Open the door, open the door." Piercing the night sky in the silence of the night, the sound was continuous, one after the other, and the heavy knock on the wooden door echoed in the sky like a soul asking for his life.

The closed door opened suddenly, and Linglong looked up in surprise, followed by a drag, and then was slammed to the ground, vicious abuse in his ear, "Don't blame us for being polite if you don't go back and be honest." ”

Ignoring the sharp pain in her palms, Linglong crawled to the guard's feet with her hands and feet, holding the feet of one of them, "I beg you, save our princess, she is dying." ”

"Fuck off." The guard seemed to look at a disgusting bug and kicked it away.

"I beg you to save our princess, she is dying, I have money, all this is for you, all for you." Linglong desperately stuffed all the valuable things on her body into the other party's hands, "If it's not enough, I still have it, I just ask you to save our princess, please." ”

"I said, why are you so uninteresting." The guard waved his hand, and the things in Linglong's hand were spilled on the ground, and a few pieces of broken silver from the silver hairpin bracelet lay quietly on the ground, glowing with cold light in the moonlight, looking at them lying alone on the cold ground as if they were abandoned, Linglong's vision became blurred, and tears fell down one by one, and hot tears burned her hands.

"What's going on?" The deep voice carried a majesty that was not angry.

The guards turned around impatiently, and there was no one coming again, and they were about to get angry, when they saw the bright yellow in the moonlight, "Emperor, Emperor." ”

Seeing that it was the emperor, Linglong seemed to see a savior, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and then looked up after the first time, and there was already a blood mark on her forehead, "The emperor save our princess, the princess is dying, she is dying." Linglong knocked as she spoke, and after a few strokes, the ground was already stained with her blood.

Yuan Yongyan's pupils shrank, "What did you say?" ”

"More than half of the people in Xinyueju are sick, some have died, the princess has been lying in bed for five days, just now the slave maid went to call her, she has been, has been ......"

Linglong couldn't say the next words, she raised her teary eyes, and felt a gust of wind passing by her, and Yuan Yongyan had already walked inside, "Pass the imperial doctor." ”

"Many people in Xinyue are sick, and there are dead bodies that have not yet been disposed of, how can the emperor's golden body enter." Lin Jikuo stopped in front of Yuan Yongyan.

Yuan Yongyan looked at Lin Jikuo's resolute face, and he said word by word, "She can't die." ”

The carved door opened from the outside, the moonlight spilled in with the open door, and the hall suddenly became bright, Li Su couldn't help but look at the door, the person who came stood at the door against the light, so he couldn't see the face, only the slender figure of the person who came.

"Imperial Doctor Li, our master is invited."

Li Su put down the book in his hand and picked up his medicine box, "I don't know which master?" ”

"You'll know when you get there."

Li Su entered the inner hall and saw the emperor sitting on the edge of the bed, he stared at the person lying on the bed, the flickering candlelight outlined a soft light on him, everything around him seemed to be non-existent, at this time, here, he only had her in his eyes.

"Wechen knocks to see the emperor." Li Su saluted respectfully.

Yuan Yongyan finally stopped staring, he left the bedside and walked slowly to the window, looking through the window at the pitch black outside, and the golden light enveloping him turned silvery-white.

Li Su stepped forward to check the pulse of the person on the bed, this is the princess Ninghe from Hou Yan, at this time she was emaciated and haggard and had no power to resist after being tortured by the disease, even if she looked carefully, she couldn't see the ups and downs of her chest. Even so, you can still see her beautiful silhouette, and she must be a beauty when she fades away from her sick face.

Li Su carefully took out her hand from under the quilt, the slender white and soft boneless hand became thin and dull at this time, he stretched out his right index finger and middle finger on her wrist, and the cold touch on her hand came with his fingers.

"Is there any salvation?" Yuan Yongyan didn't know when to walk back, although she asked Li Su, her eyes looked at the person lying on the bed.

"Wechen try his best." I could still feel her faint pulse, and although I didn't know if I could save her, I would do my best.

"Try?" Yuan Yongyan's voice rose, and her handsome eyebrows raised slightly, "You can't save her, and you don't have to live." ”

"Yes." Li Su wiped the fine sweat oozing from his head, "Weichen will definitely save Princess Ninghe." ”

The clear medicinal soup exuded a strong bitter taste, and Linglong carefully fed it to Chu Junxi's mouth with a spoon, and flowed out while feeding, and he didn't know how much of the medicine went into his stomach when he fed it.

"It was fine a few days ago, why did you become like this these days?"

Li Su's heart hung tightly, as if he was about to jump out of his throat, and there was a layer of cold sweat on his back, "The princess's illness is menacing and many people in Xinyue are sick, it looks like an epidemic, but the symptoms are different from ordinary epidemics, so ...... Wechen couldn't be sure what caused the princess to fall ill. ”

In the quiet inner room, Li Su could clearly hear his heartbeat, he lowered his head, and cold sweat flowed down his sideburns.

"Don't know?" Yuan Yongyan's voice was calm, as if asking herself.

"Yes." The emperor's voice couldn't hear joy and anger, but it was the most frightening thing if he couldn't figure it out like this, like a beast hidden in the darkness, which could jump out at any time and kill himself.

"You mean you have symptoms but you can't find the cause, don't you?"

Li Su's heart beat even harder, and he buried his whole face on the ground, "Weichen is incompetent." ”

The man in the bed showed no signs of waking up. The wind blew in through the window that covered the blue window paper of the lake, and the candlelight danced happily, and the shadows of people were reflected on the wall like a shadow play.

"Your Majesty, it's not early, you have to go to court early tomorrow." Lin Jikuodao.

Li Su was arranged in the outer room, so that he could observe his condition at any time, and he was not relieved until he was sure that the emperor was leaving, and the sweat in his body in the cold winter had soaked his underwear.

In the eyes of everyone, he was punished for being afraid of the emperor's majesty and afraid that he would not be able to cure Princess Ninghe's illness, but he knew in his heart that he was not afraid because of this.

The emperor is thoughtful and his eyes are as sharp as an eagle, how difficult it is to hide the secret in his heart in front of him, it may be that when Princess Ning He's life was at stake, the emperor did not pay too much attention to himself, otherwise he would definitely be exposed.

I hope that this matter will end quietly after Princess Ning and Princess wake up, and he can no longer withstand this kind of fear.

Li Su silently prayed in his heart to wake up quickly.

Yes, she will wake up, he can be sure.
