Chapter 32: Blocking the Arrow
Hearing the qin and knowing people, Yuan Yongyan's low piano sound contains a majestic momentum, just like him, Chu Junxi is intoxicated in his piano, and he doesn't know that the sound of the piano stops.
Yuan Yongming looked at her immersed face with satisfaction, "It seems that Concubine Ai likes the music I play very much." ”
"The emperor played very well." Chu Junxi doesn't know the piano, so naturally she can't describe the charm, she has also heard other people play the piano, but none of them can attract her as much as the emperor.
"Oh? Good there? The corners of Yuan Yongyan's mouth hooked up a playful smile.
Chu Junxi's face was slightly red, as if the secret in her heart was seen through, she wanted to find some words of praise to praise the emperor's qin, but unfortunately after thinking for a long time to nothing, she finally decided to tell the truth, she said, "The emperor's qin sounds very comfortable." ”
"Comfortable?" Yuan Yongyan repeated her words, as if savoring the meaning of the word, and finally nodded in agreement, "Musical instruments are meant to please people, and they can make people sound comfortable, which shows that they have played their due role." ”
"But listening to the piano also depends on the person who plays it, and if you play it with someone you dislike, even the best piece of music will not be comfortable." Chu Jun regretted seeing that the emperor separated Qin from the people, afraid that she would misunderstand her meaning, so he was busy explaining.
"Is Concubine Ai tactfully expressing her love to me?"
Facing the warm gaze, Chu Junxi's newly recovered face suddenly turned red again.
"How about Concubine Ai play a song for me too?" Yuan Yongyan's interest seems to be very high today.
Chu Junxi lowered his head, "I don't know how to play the piano." ”
Yuan Yongyan disagreed, "Just like Concubine Ai said, whether the music played is good depends on the person who plays it, if it is Concubine Ai, no matter what kind of music it plays, I will like it." ”
"It's not going to be the same as playing badly." Chu Junxi was a little embarrassed, he didn't know how to play, and how to say whether it was good or not.
"I remember that Aifei seems to know chess, why don't we play the game?" Yuan Yongyan did not force it.
"Okay." After seeing Yuan Yongyan's chess skills last time, Chu Junxi thought about learning chess skills with the other party again, and today she finally had the opportunity, and she readily agreed.
Entering Xinyue Residence, Yuan Yongyan saw Zhenlong placed under the window, and smiled slightly, "Haven't unlocked it yet?" ”
Chu Jun was shy, "The concubine is stupid." ”
"Why don't I help you untie it?"
Chu Junxi's eyes lit up, "The emperor knows how to solve it?" ”
Yuan Yongyan was silent, staring at her with a smile, "How does Concubine Ai plan to repay me?" ”
"I play the piano for the emperor."
"Okay."
As the chess game unraveled little by little, the brilliance on Chu Junxi's face became even greater, and he admired the emperor's wisdom even more in his heart.
Yuan Yongyan smiled at her, "How is it?" ”
"The emperor is wise, and the concubines admire."
Yuan Yongyan was very useful, he turned his head and looked out the window, "It's not early, I still have something to do." ”
"Don't you need dinner?" It's almost time for dinner.
"Nope."
Chu Jun sent the emperor outside, standing on the steps of the door, the cold wind was blowing, Yuan Yongyan glanced at the gray sky, "Winter is almost over." ”
Chu Junxi put the brocade cloak in his hand on for the emperor, and a silver light flashed in the air, and he didn't have time to think about Chu. Jun Xi protected Yuan Yongyan behind him, Yuan Yongyan's expression tightened, and a feather sword was inserted into her chest.
Lin Jikuo rushed out the moment he saw the arrow.
Yuan Yongyan hugged Chu Junxi who fell in her arms, her lips slowly turned purple, obviously the arrow was quenched with poison, "Pass on the imperial doctor." His voice had always been low, but now it had a tremor and sharpness that he had not even noticed.
The faint yellow candlelight shone on Xiu Wenhao's face, his expression was unprecedentedly solemn, and the hand that was patientizing Chu Jun's pulse never left her wrist.
"Can you find out what kind of poison it is?" Yuan Yongyan looked anxious, he was already in a coma when he fell, and his body reacted quickly, which should be highly toxic.
Xiu Wenhao withdrew his hand to diagnose the pulse, turned around and saluted Yuan Yongyan respectfully, "Ning Jieyu's poisonous body is strange, and the minister has never seen it until now, but the minister will try his best." ”
There is a battle in the palace, so there will be a variety of diseases, and poisoning is not uncommon, so the imperial doctors in the palace are different in what they are good at, Xiu Wenhao specializes in detoxification, so as long as the patients related to poison are treated by him.
Yuan Yongyan looked at Chu Junxi, whose face was as white as paper, with a dangerous glint in his eyes, Lin Jikuo had been by the emperor's side for many years, knowing that he was really angry this time, the assassin was obviously aimed at the emperor, but Ning Jieyu blocked it for the emperor, otherwise it would be the emperor who was lying on the bed at the moment and his life and death were uncertain.
"What about people?" When the arrow was shot, Lin Jikuo chased it out, and it was impossible for people to run away with his ability in such a short distance.
"The subordinates are incompetent." Lin Jikuo said, "The subordinates chased him out, and the assassin has taken poison and died. ”
Yuan Yongyan's pupils constricted.
"The subordinates carefully examined the body of the assassin, and the poison should have been taken before the arrow, and he only had a bow in his hand, and nothing else."
Dead? There is only one arrow, and the other party is very sure, Yuan Yongyan showed a weird smile on the corner of her mouth.
After taking it, Chu Junxi's condition still did not improve, but it was gratifying that the toxicity did not spread further, indicating that the medicine he drank had an effect.
Xiu Wenhao would check Chu Jun's pulse every once in a while, observing the changes in the toxicity in her body at any time. Then according to her pulse, she looked through the medical skills, modified the recipe, and went down three bowls of medicinal soup in one night, Chu Junxi's breathing finally stabilized, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
According to the emperor's favor for Ning Jieyu, her life is her own life, and now her condition is complex, and her life is saved.
"It's not that the condition has been controlled, why hasn't the person woken up yet?" Chu Junxi's face was no longer as pale as paper, and Yuan Yongyan's hanging heart finally let go.
"The toxicity is violent, although it has been controlled, but what remains in the body has invaded the viscera, and it must be ......" Xiu Wenhao saw the emperor's displeasure, and immediately changed his words, "I will wake up before tonight, Weichen promised." ”
"Guarantee with your head?" Yuan Yongyan said lightly.
Xiu Wenhao's back straightened, "Yes." Looking at the emperor's distant back, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the fine sweat on his head.
The bright moonlight shone in through the window, and the person lying on the bed still showed no signs of waking up, Xiu Wenhao's heart became heavier and heavier, although he swore that the guarantor would wake up, but he clearly knew that his certainty was not as big as it seemed.
It was already pitch black outside the window, and as time passed, Xiu Wenhao's heart became as dark as the night outside.
The morning sun is slightly dewed, and a new day is coming.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Xiu Wenhao turned around and knelt down with a dead heart, "Please let the emperor give Weichen a death." The person in front of him didn't speak for a long time, and he couldn't help but look up.
Yuan Yongyan's eyes stared at the person on the bed, and Chu Jun smiled weakly, "Your Majesty." ”
Is this a life? Xiu Wenhao exited the inner hall and looked at the morning sun in the distance, never feeling that the sky was so kind.
Chu Junxi struggled to get up from the bed, Yuan Yongyan took a step forward, personally helped her up, and let her lean into his arms, "I'm relieved that the emperor is fine." ”
Yuan Yongyan straightened the broken hair on her cheeks, and gently stroked her cheek with her thumb, "You saved my life." ”
His voice was deeper than ever, with a vague sadness, Chu Junxi suddenly wanted to see his face at this moment, but unfortunately she was injured, just moved slightly, the wound on her chest emitted a cone-like pain, and she couldn't help moaning.
"Uncomfortable there?"
Chu Junxi shook his head with a smile, "I'm fine." "If you can get such care from the emperor, what will be uncomfortable about yourself.
Yuan Yongyan glared at her, "I almost died, but it's fine." ”
Chu Jun heard his pain, and his heart became even sweeter, "I can die for the emperor, and I will die without regrets." ”
"You won't die, and I won't die." Yuan Yongyan hugged her tighter and said like an oath.
Chu Junxi nodded slightly, and suddenly thought of something, "Did the assassin catch it?" ”
"When Ji Kuo arrived, he had already committed suicide by taking poison."
Chu Jun was silent, although he didn't catch anyone, but he didn't need to think about who was behind the scenes.
"I'm going to make them pay for their actions." Yuan Yongyan looked into the distance, her expression solemn, and her star-like eyes flashed with an unusually bright light, like two torches burning.
"You are still very weak, rest well, listen to the words of the imperial doctor and take medicine obediently." Yuan Yongyan helped her to lie down again.
Chu Junxi nodded obediently, "Hmm." ”
As the days passed, the poison on Chu Junxi's body was slowly cleared, so the imperial doctor allowed her to take a walk in the hospital, "Ning Jieyu still has residual poison on her body, so the decoction can't be stopped." ”
"There's Dr. Lao." For the sake of the poison in his body, the imperial doctor kept looking at his medical skills day and night, if it weren't for him, he would probably be out of this world long ago.
"This is what Wechen should do." Xiu Wenhao stepped back.
During Chu Junxi's recuperation, Yuan Yongyan only came once, and left in a hurry after accompanying her to lunch. With such a blatant assassination by Concubine Su, the emperor will not tolerate it any longer.
The first time he went to the imperial study, Chu Junxi was a little nervous, and when he was about to go in, he heard Lin Jikuo's voice, so he listened attentively, and the words of Lin Jikuo of the emperor of the imperial study came clearly, Chu Junxi's face was suddenly whiter than when he was poisoned, and the two legs seemed to be unable to support the weight of the body and were about to fall down at any time.
"No, it's not true, it's not true." Chu Junxi muttered, "It must be that the poison in my body has not been completely removed, I must be dreaming." ”
