Chapter 024: The White Moon
"Princess, you've really decided!" She turned her back to me and spoke coldly.
"Yes. I'm just wondering, how long will it be after taking the medication? ”
I asked calmly.
She stretched out her hands and showed seven fingers.
I nodded, a smile on my face.
The Grand Wizard took out a packet of brown medicine from his bosom, turned to look at me, and made a mouth open.
I did as she said, closed my eyes and opened my mouth.
The Great Wizard seemed to have words in his mouth, but he didn't make a sound.
Then, she slowly poured the medicine into my mouth, and I craned my neck and swallowed it all in one gulp.
The archwizard gave me a silent look, then turned and walked out of the tent.
After the Great Wizard went out, the Grasshopper hurriedly ran in and asked nervously.
"Princess, what did the Grand Wizard say?"
I smiled and shook my head at her, pretending nothing had happened.
"Grasshopper, the great wizard has calculated that you will soon get married."
"Me? No, princess, what are you kidding? ”
The mouth and face of the grasshopper opened wide in an instant, and it was simply exaggerated to the point of deformation.
"Yes, you and San'er are in love, I will give you an early wedding."
"But, princess, I am only your attendant, and it is impossible for me to marry a stable."
"I said yes, in the desert, except for my father, don't you listen to me?"
"No! Princess, me. ”
The grasshopper was about to argue about something, and I immediately interrupted her.
"Grasshopper, you have been with me since you were a child, do you want to disobey my orders, or do you not like San'er?"
The grasshopper shook its head desperately, shaking its head like a rattle.
"Okay, in three days, I will let you and San'er get married immediately."
The grasshopper looked at me, and probably for the first time, it felt as if I was a different person.
However, she did not dare to disobey my orders.
Two days later, I prepared some jewelry and silver taels for her as a dowry.
I gave them a wedding on the grounds that someone had to marry them because of their illness.
The wedding was attended by some people from the Tuzhigen tent.
On the night of the wedding, San'er and Gnats were very nervous.
When I saw the grasshopper getting married, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart. Maybe in this life, I can only see her wedding.
That night, I walked out of the camp where the grasshopper and her three sons were married.
In the dead of night, the effects of the Great Wizard's medicine had begun to kick in, and I vomited a mouthful of blood.
Standing under the sky, the night was like paint, the cold wind was biting, and the grassland was already covered with a thin layer of frost.
I know that maybe my father's illness will be cured!
Looking in the direction of my father's tent, I smiled happily.
Then I "plopped" and fell.
I didn't wait for seven months, that was the day the great wizard calculated, but it was the day of death!
I'm not dead! I'm alive! I fell early!
"I didn't expect the princess to be alive!"
It was the first thing I heard when I woke up a week after I fell.
The Grand Wizard was leaning over my side, quietly watching me.
Her eyes had always been cold, but this time she seemed unusually gentle, like taking care of her own child.
"I thought that the princess would probably not be able to turn around when she went, and my dosage was not less than the normal dosage, but why didn't she die? It must have been the gods who didn't let her die. ”
"Archwizard, are you sure?"
It was a man's voice, I couldn't see it, but I could hear it, it was Father! He was able to come and see me!
"Just?" The Grand Wizard said hesitantly.
"Just what?" Father asked.
"It's going to be hard for her to speak in the future!"
"You're saying that Suro will become mute? How is it possible that there will be no way to speak in the future? In order to save me, he risked his life, and then he couldn't speak! There was a clear tremor in my father's voice.
I heard their conversation, and I tried to call out to my father, but. I opened my mouth wide and tried hard, but I couldn't make a sound.
Tears slowly dripped down from the corners of his eyes. I shed tears of joy, because after all, my father can live well in this world.
The great wizard's mana is limited, she can only act according to the rules left by her ancestors, and the mystery of this is not yet known to outsiders, and the great wizard saved her father.
I was supposed to die in my father's place, but I didn't, which in itself is a miracle.
The Great Wizard looked at me, I looked at her, we looked at each other for a minute, she could read my mind, and I knew what she was thinking.
At that moment, a thousand words seemed to have been spoken!
Someone outside the big tent broke in despite the guards' obstruction!
"Father!"
"Tuzhigen!"
"Nami Wizard!"
"Four Princes!"
When the great wizard saw Tuzhigen coming in, he quickly got up to salute, and then prepared to retreat, but Tuzhigen's questioning made her stop.
"Wizard Nami, is she better, princess?" Tuzhigen asked with concern.
The Grand Wizard shook his head vigorously.
"This has gone against the will of heaven, she was originally going to die in place of the Great Khan, but she did not die, she still survived, but she will be more miserable in the future. For she can speak, but she can't. That kind of suffering is more tormenting than death. ”
"You mean, she can hear, but she can't speak!"
"Yes!" Tuzhigen read the exact answer from the eyes of the Great Wizard.
"Is there any remedy? Since she can save her father, then she can also escape from the clutches, archwizard, you may think of a way? ”
"The method of saving the Great Khan is the only way that the gods of my ancestors have given me, but this method can only be used once, and there is no remedy. The gods want to take back your soul, and they will not let you stay alive in this world, and that's all I can do. ”
After the Great Wizard Nami finished speaking, he put his right hand on his left chest, bent down and nodded at Turigen, and then looked at his father. Then he stopped talking and withdrew from the tent step by step.
"Father!" Tuzhigen turned his gaze to his father.
He waved his hand, as if he didn't want to say anything more at this time, but diverted the topic.
"Tuzhigen, when is Temur leaving?"
"Tomorrow! I accompanied him with the Eighth Prince, Gandiga. Father nodded in satisfaction.
"Temur doesn't know about Sura yet, does he?"
Father nodded.
"In the future, you have to pay more attention to the affairs in the palace and Su Luo, she has always trusted you, after your mother disappeared, Concubine Rong took care of your daily life, I think it's time for you to repay your kindness."
Turigen nodded.
"Got it, Father, I'll take care of Suro, and now I need Temur to know about it too?"
"Sooner or later, he will know that if Temur really loves Sura, no matter what happens to Princess Suro in the future, he will never leave her side. If he was just a colt I had repaid my kindness, it would only mean that I had the wrong person. I'll leave it to Gnats and Ren Zongheng here, and I have some things to discuss with you. ”
The grasshopper had just walked in from outside, and she had already learned about my condition outside the tent. When my father and Tuzhigen walked out of the tent, she sat down next to me.
"Princess, I know you can hear me, and if I knew that you secretly went to drink medicine in order to save the life of the Great Khan, I would definitely do it for you. But I know the Grand Wizard can't do it, because I'm not a princess, so I can't do this for you. I just hate, I knew that you wanted me to get married early, you were just afraid that you wouldn't be able to come back this time, right? Princess, I'm so muddy, I didn't take good care of you, and from now on, I will guard you day and night, and I won't go anywhere. If the princess is alive, the grasshopper will live, and when the princess is gone, the grasshopper will not steal life, and will never live one more day. After the gnats finished speaking, I could feel the grasshopper's tears sticking to my cheeks. Hot tears, drop by drop, dripped down my face and slid down my hair.
I still closed my eyes and didn't speak, at the moment, I wanted to talk, but I couldn't.
I felt that my body was still groggy, and the indescribable pain in my heart made me face new torture, and I fell asleep again.
By the time I saw Temur again, it was three months later.
Inside the Father's Great Tent.
Because my father did not arrange for me to meet Temur during this time. Although Temur had tried many ways to see me, my father politely refused.
"Great Khan, although I went to Khan Yiguo this time to prepare to meet Princess Mengyu, you know that I only want the princess in my heart, and my heart will not change."
Temur's tone obviously carried the stubbornness and domineering of a desert man.
He saw that his father's face was expressionless, and his father's silence made him feel a little confused.
Because before that, his father used to look at him with admiration.
"Great Khan, I have an idea, if the eighth prince and the fourth prince go with me this time, I think things may be much better than we expected."
"What do you mean?" His father looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"So, do you think it's okay?" Then Temur whispered a few words in his father's ear.
"You mean?。。。 Is this method any good? ”
Temur nodded.
"If I really want to marry Princess Mengyu, I'd rather leave the desert." Temur looked at his father resolutely.
"Then try it as you want."
Hearing Temur say this, his father just looked at him coldly, and then stood up and walked out of the tent without talking to Temur anymore.
This made Temur feel that his father's behavior seemed strange.
At this time, Batu was still busy with his own business in the tent.
"Batu, the Great Khan has always been feeling strange lately, is there something going on in the middle?"
"You think about it too much, Temur, since the Great Khan recovered from his last serious illness, coupled with the many accidents that have happened in the palace during this time, he must be overworked, after all, his age is not forgiving."
"I always feel like things aren't as simple as you say. The Great Khan was still able to calm down when he encountered such a major event. With the Great Wizard, I heard that his illness was cured overnight, and all of this will not be as simple as it seems, and I think it won't be long before I can find out the exact news, but I don't want such a thing to be related to Princess Suluo. ”
After Temur said this, he felt as if something had stirred his heart.
Temur shook his head, smiling at his worries.
"Maybe between people who love each other, no matter how many miles of barriers, each other can feel each other's warm hearts!"
