XVI. Golden Frog
Yue Niang and Ling Xian'er were busy preparing the items needed for the return trip, Yue An sorted out the emergency medicine, Su Jue had just gone out, she came to the backyard of Hongwei Hall alone, walked around the scene, fed the fish, picked flowers and inserted them in the sideburns.
One person sat alone and looked at the fairy pavilion, and two wisps of dreams were in his heart.
The crisp wind blew people as if they were drunk, and they didn't feel Lang standing beside him.
The purple bamboo is a piece of Danyang falling, and the sun is flying all over the sky.
Tomorrow I will return to Chang'an Road and wait for the golden frog to be surrounded by blood.
Destroy the nine thousand obstacles, and share this life with you as you wish.
Liu Langjun stood in the Wangxian Pavilion and stared at the princess's serious and focused appearance, only thinking that she was very cute, but somehow he suddenly laughed, walked up to her and asked, "If you wish to live with you, but the princess misses me?"
She held a fan to hide her face with a shallow smile between her eyebrows: "Lang Junguan will joke with me!"
"Okay, okay! Let's not laugh yet, have you seen the saint? Your stupid matter has been settled? Is there room for turnaround?"
She stopped talking and slowly lowered her head, in fact, she was thinking about countermeasures.
Liu Langjun asked eagerly: "Is it really him?"
Unexpectedly, the princess glared and said nonsense: "I see, I see." Brother said that it has not yet been decided who will be allowed to be granted to the family, and I have to choose some talented gentlemen of the family, and at this time, only that Qiu Qing is still a little old, and he will mention this matter first, and then he will tentatively designate his enemy, but because of my background, although the saint of my life is interested in his son. But it has to depend on my temperament, and if I don't nod my head, I will definitely not force it. ”
Liu Langjun pondered: "Then why don't I also go and make peace?"
She put her jade hand lightly on her mouth, and hurriedly stopped: "Don't use it for the time being, my brother has been busy recently, and if the weather is warm next year, if there is no decision, I will say it in person." Oh, by the way, I have to go back to Daming Palace tomorrow, you are in Luoyang and cherish yourself, so that I don't have to worry. ”
Listening to the princess's words, the emperor hadn't decided to marry the princess to Qiu Shituo, so he had no choice but to do it. Gently hugged her into his arms: "You have always been in poor health, and you need to pay attention to the rough road back, how can I feel at ease if I can't accompany you when I can't be by your side?"
"It's okay! I've been getting bigger and better lately, and I've recently acquired a new guy who is very good at concocting pills. The news just came that the pill had been made and the time had been set, and the time had to go back to take it before he could recover. ”
Obviously, she is still talking nonsense, and from time to time she frequently peeps into whether he will really believe it, but judging by his sincere appearance, she should believe it somewhat!
Thinking about it, thinking about it, she couldn't laugh out loud by herself, so Lang Jun had to laugh with her somehow.
Let go of the hand that hugged the princess and reluctantly said goodbye to her: "Go back quickly, now I should also go, if I have to enter the palace next time, I will definitely go to see you." ”
Nodding naughtily: "Well, then I'll wait for you in the Chang'an Palace." ”
Reluctantly said goodbye to Liu Langjun, fell asleep in the night, and slept peacefully until dawn. Before noon the next day, the group packed up and drove out of Luoyang. It took more than ten days to arrive, and it was good to stop and stop along the way, and when I arrived at the gate of Chang'an Palace, I was afraid that there was only half a life left.
Xiao Qian has been guarding the temple, sitting in the courtyard today to eat wine, did not expect to meet under the wisteria tree, and saw how the beautiful woman who was lively and clever in the past although she had a sick face in the past is now like this, her hair is loose and draped, and her black eyes are scattered and her head is lowered.
Like a snake, he was hugged by Su Jue and ran in, he was puzzled and asked, "This... What the hell is going on? How can you be so emaciated?"
Tan Yuean ran over after him and muttered to him: "It's a strange disease brought from the womb." ”
flew forward to get the medicinal water and brought it over, and the beautiful princess on the bed was disheveled, and her face was like earth, and she couldn't see the slightest ruddy on her face, so she could only barely lean on the rest and cough dryly.
Yue An sat in front of him with an agate bowl, and said while feeding the medicine: "This toss for days can't be borne even by a good person, let alone a person like you, how can you not cherish your body?"
He thought in his heart that the princess was so quiet now that he couldn't feel a bitterness: "If you toss this little life again, you should give it up, and even if you chase it to the Netherworld, you won't have the strength to come back." Then he sighed.
Ling Xian'er, who was standing next to him with crossed hands, didn't want him to say such frustrating words, and slapped him on the back: "What are you going to feed when you run out of medicine?"
When she woke up, she found that the princess had already been lying on the bed resting after taking the medicine, but her hands were still in the air and had been feeding the medicine.
Putting down the empty medicine bowl, he patted his cheek fiercely, so that he could keep himself awake, and touched his pulse, although it was not optimistic, but there was a strong force in the disordered pulse, as if he was protecting her, and he would feel at ease when he found this strength.
Tucked the quilt for the princess, asked Yueniang to wipe the cold sweat on her forehead, and went to decoction again.
She hurried back until it was just dark, and the princess woke up until it was just dark, and Ling Xian'er hurriedly helped her to sit up on her body, and told her in an extremely weak voice: "Quick, go and get the golden frog." ”
Ling Xian'er was anxious: "You have just been able to get up, why don't you drink water and take medicine first, and roar and roar when you see it? In any case, you have to take care of your body first, Su Jue, go and get the soup that Yue An has boiled. ”
It just so happened that this kung fu was surprisingly leisurely, and as soon as she heard that she could afford it, she came over and said: "That golden frog can't run away here, these people are also worried about you, all kinds of food is unpleasant, you drink the bitter soup first, and then eat something, and we will see when your body is better tomorrow, don't think about anything today." ”
"Anyway, sooner or later, it's mine, why hurry!"
"Look at your ugly appearance, you really should rest more, I see you at a glance and know that you are safe, go back first!"
After speaking, he took away the marigold white jade bowls on several cases and the golden frogs in the bowls.
Afraid that she would not sleep peacefully, Ling Xian'er also broke the rules and slept in the same bed with her, so she slept with confidence. At noon the next day, I got up and ate two bites of light porridge, and was helped out of the door to bask in the sun.
Sitting in the shade of a tree: "Look, I'm fine." ”
"I know you want to see it, give. ”
Taking out a large jade bowl from behind her and sitting beside her, the princess stretched out her finger and touched the skin of the golden frog, which was still cool, and it stretched out its tongue and licked its little red eyes.
The princess said to herself to the golden frog: "I didn't expect you to be quite beautiful, oops... It hurts!"
"Don't dump it!"
"To put it mildly, this thing is really terrible, and it hurts my fingertips when I bite it. ”
The golden frog had four small teeth in its mouth, and it bit the tips of her fingers and gulped the blood, only a little painful and the fingertips did not clot, so it kept holding its arm until it spit out its fingers.
"Dip that blood on its head. ”
Touching the top of the golden frog's head with his blood-dripping fingers, the frog convulsed and then turned into a puddle of blood.
Xiao Qian asked her to drink it, and Ling Xian'er watched from the sidelines: "You black-hearted Taoist, our princess drinks elixir and jade dew all day long, how can she drink this filthy water?"
Xiao Qian tilted his head and explained: "You don't know, there are three kinds of black, red and clear water colors, I have never seen it, I have only heard that the red water should be a grudge in a previous life, and the black one is sinful, if it is clear and transparent, it is a great sage." ”
She picked up the jade bowl and a salty smell rushed to the top of her head, which was disgusting, but it was not too bad for the bitter soup fried by Yue An, and she pinched her nose and drank it all without hesitation. The bloodless lips were instantly dyed red, and he smacked his lips with a smile and said, "It's a little salty." Sticking out the bowl, "Would you like to have some too?"
Xiao Qian got closer and sniffed her and pinched her nose: "Take it away, take it away, you can eat this taste and this color? ”
Looking at Xiao Qiang's appearance was very funny, she and Ling Xian'er laughed back and forth, but she didn't expect Xiao Qian to suddenly ask seriously: "Do you remember anything?"
Her head shook like a rattle: "No!"
"And now?"
"Not yet!"
"How could it not be?"
Unwillingly, he took out the Jin Ze seal from his arms: "Why don't you try it too?"
After that, he gestured to the head of Ling Xian'er, and the two of them, you chased after me, and ran wildly.
"Dao Chief, you can spare me, I don't want to know about the past life or the next life, why don't you try it for yourself?"
"I, and I'm not interested in myself. ”
Seeing that Ling Xian'er refused, she felt bored and took the Jin Zeyin back, looking at the two people who ran away, she had no strength and said, "Go back, I'm still dizzy." ”
He got up and walked into the house, and he had only walked a few steps when his eyes were black and straight, and he fell down, and his head hit the ground.
Seeing this, the two of them hurriedly ran back, the princess was injured on her forehead with blood, but Ling Xian'er was in a hurry, the tears couldn't stop flowing, Ling Xian'er held her in front of her, and couldn't stop complaining about why she didn't take care of the princess.
"Get out of the way, I'll come. Saying that, Xiao Qian picked her up and ran to the dormitory, and put it on the small couch by the window, Ling Xian'er still hugged her and refused to let go, and said with a crying voice: "Quick... Quickly invite Yue An. ”
He wiped the blood stains on the princess's forehead with a handkerchief, and at this time, a small pink figure floated out of the white shadow from the Yingluo circle, and the person who came was Leng Xiang.
The moment before the princess fell unconscious, her name was pronounced, and the lady of the cold fragrance whispered: "Don't go, I'll come." ”
took out a small white pill from the small sachet she was carrying, and sprinkled a pinch of fine powder on her wound with two fingertips, Ling Xian'er kept pressing it with a handkerchief, and the bleeding stopped after a while, Xiao Qian, who completely ignored Leng Xiang's words, still found Yue An.
He hurriedly leaned down: "Give me your hand." ”
Ling Xian'er stretched out her sleeves and stretched out her hand, and was knocked off by Yue An with a snap, and squeezed out three words from between her teeth: "Princess's." ”
When Ling Xian'er's hand was still in mid-air, he grabbed the princess's arm, frowned and touched the pulse: "It's okay, it's okay inside, it's just a skin injury, don't just do it, the bleeding has also stopped When the princess wakes up, you should pay more attention to your daily washing, eating, and resting, otherwise you may have a scar." ”
Leng Xiang, who was standing on the side, said faintly: "The medicine I use will not leave a scar, let her sleep." He turned around and went out to play with Qingying's cat.
Xiao Qian gasped: "If this injury is seen by Yue Niang, tsk... It's better to wrap the wound and tie a wider strangle, so that Yue Niang can't see it. ”
"Don't talk nonsense here, I'm sad to let the princess hurt me, if you really want to help me, go back to your room." ”
While wiping the tears, he urged him to go back, and together with Yue An, he put the princess lightly on the bed and covered it with a thin shirt.
After everyone dispersed, Ling Xian'er sat on the ground and played a fan, only to see the princess frowning and biting her lip, and her hands clenched into fists.
Then she ordered a furnace of refreshing and soothing spices, and saw that her body was relaxed before she had to go to fetch the mountain stream water, and asked Yue An to take some medicine to replenish qi and blood and cook the drink, and when it was half warm, she deliberately took the candied fruit, she knew that the princess was most afraid of bitterness, but the drink was cold and not sober, she pinched her thigh, and blamed herself for being playful, why didn't she take a good look at the princess?
The leaky pot is full, full and full. It was late at night, and she suddenly woke up from her dream, although it was July, she was in a cold sweat, and her hands and feet were shaking. As soon as I lowered my head and rode the faint moonlight, I saw Ling Xian'er lying on the side of the bed, and suddenly felt that I had stabilized my mind, what happened just now? So real, is it a dream? or...?
