Chapter 183: Return to the Kingdom of Yan (1)
In a trance, he felt tightness in his chest and shortness of breath, but there was a slight coolness on his back, with a pleasant itch. She struggled to wake up, and struggled for a long time to recover from the chaos, and found herself lying naked on a comfortable soft couch in the middle of a wheeling carriage.
She tried to roll over and struggle, but was stopped by a slightly cool palm, a slightly cool palm pressing against her bare back, to be exact. Obviously, the itch coming from Fang Cai's back also came from this person's fingers.
Wei Nong tried her best to see who the other party was, but she was lying on her stomach, and the person was sitting. From her position, all you could see was a dark corner of her robe, light and ironed, reminding her that it was still summer.
Although, it's cool in the chariot.
Who are you? Wei Nong wanted to open her mouth to ask, but unfortunately she couldn't make a single sound in her throat, her whole person was like a dried spring, desperately in need of water nourishment.
But the man still didn't speak, only rubbed her back again and again with his slightly cool fingers, lingering softly, as if he was sorry and pity.
Wei Nong settled down, thinking back to everything that happened before he fell unconscious, and probably guessed who the other party was. This conjecture, even if she is now open-chested and barebacked, she has no strength to care, so she simply closes her eyes and does not ask any more questions.
When Nie Xingji saw her expression, he knew that she had guessed, so he slowly spoke: "You have been in a coma for a month, and you can't drink water yet, bear with it again!" β
The slightly thick long eyelashes flickered slightly, as if a frightened butterfly fluttered its wings and opened its eyes again. In her memory, the scene of the injury was so cruel and bloody that she thought she was going to die. And looking at the situation in front of you, is it actually a life?
"I know you have a lot of questions, and I'll tell you." Nie Xingji's fingers finally left her back, and instead he took one of her hands, and said slowly: "That mount of yours was sold to you by Lian Kuo, once something happens to you in the 100,000 mountains, it will run to the stronghold to report the news. β
It turned out that she was blessed by Xiangrui! But isn't it thanks to Nie Xingji's blessing? Wei Nong tried to evoke a smile, and the meaning of self-deprecation was overflowing.
Nie Xingchen rubbed her slender knuckles, and said, "The last time you came to Jiang Country to detoxify, you used dozens of poisonous insects on your body as medicine, and ordinary poisons couldn't hurt you at all. If not, you won't be spared. β
His voice was calm, but there was a hint of joy in it. Yes, how can you not rejoice! Although she knew that she had used a lot of poisons during her detoxification, she didn't know that she had already cultivated a physique that was "invulnerable to all poisons"! She owes him again!
"Fortunately, Jiang Guoren came quickly, otherwise you would have ......lost too much blood and died even if you didn't die of poisoning," Nie Xingchen said, his fingers touching her back again: "But the scar on your back, I'm afraid it's difficult to get rid of." β
Wei Nong didn't want to know how hideous it would be on his back. After she was stabbed that day, she watched the poison in the grass crawl to her side and slowly climb up her back...... That kind of sharp pain, fear, and creepy feeling, she will never forget for the rest of her life!
When she thought of the scene of that day, she still couldn't help but shudder, but only moved her body slightly, and found that she was panicked underneath. She subconsciously looked at her left wrist, and it was probably not an exaggeration to say that she was "skinny", but she could imagine what the situation would be on her body.
Wei Nong's guess is not wrong at all, and now her bare back has long been lost with the word "jade back". The posterior shoulder blades are high and convex, the ribs on both sides are deeply sunken, and they are so thin that they are almost skinny. At the distance from the back of the neck to the lumbar spine, a knife mark winds down the spine, and the bone is deeply visible. Not to mention the places on the back that have been eaten by poisonous insects, the scars are scattered and dense, and the skin is uneven, which is three points more ugly than burns.
This is still more than a month after raising. I still remember that when Wei Nong was just rescued by Lian Kuo's people, a maid accompanying her saw the injury and vomited on the spot, and her hands were shaking when she was drugged.
When Nie Xingji received King Ning's handwritten letter, he had already decided to come to pick up Weinong in person. But as soon as he walked halfway, he received a letter from Lian Kuo and learned that Wei Nong was seriously injured in the attack. He immediately gave up his original route and hurried to the shortcut, but he never thought that what he saw was such a shocking injury!
Fortunately, it hurts the back, not the heart or throat...... Such a deep knife wound, if it were slashed from the faΓ§ade, it would probably disappear on the spot.
And the person who hurt the poison turned out to be......
Nie Xingji's hands tightened involuntarily, and he suddenly revealed his thoughts. The slightly thick gaze happened to fall on his hand, so he also stubbornly made a mouth shape, and asked hoarsely, "Who?" β
Nie Xingji was silent for a moment, and only said, "When your injuries are better, I'll tell you." β
Ran Weinong did not give up, and insisted on asking again: "Who?" As she asked, she endured the back injury that penetrated deep into her bone marrow, and slowly moved her thin left hand, trying to pull Nie Xingji's lower robe. And with just this slow, slight movement, her back was a tearing pain.
Nie Xingji immediately pressed her hand and laughed sarcastically: "If I say it, you won't believe it." β
Wei Min moved his fingers, which was a response.
Nie Xingji had to hold her shoulders instead, and then said slowly, word by word: "Those people are from the Ningguo Lihou Mansion. β
As soon as the word "Lihou" came out, Wei Nong was really excited as expected, and his shoulders shrugged and wanted to get up. Fortunately, Nie Xingji immediately pressed her with force, and her legs clamped her lower body even more, making her unable to move: "You calm down!" β
Wei Nong was firmly held down by Nie Xingji, and he knew that he was in vain, and then thought about the injury on his back, after all, he calmed down a little, but the tears flowed out unobediently, and flowed down his cheeks on the soft couch under him.
She wanted to deny Nie Xingji's words, but she didn't want to believe it at all. But the moment she heard the word "Lihou", she remembered one thing-
The man in blue who spoke ill of her that day, the man in blue who slashed her back with a knife, she always felt that he was very familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was anyway, but now with the blessing of Nie Xingji, she finally has some impressions!
He should be the guard next to Yunchen, called "Bamboo Wind". In the few times she had contact with Yunchen, the guard had always been with her, and every time she saw her, she had an indifferent look on her face. So that day he became vicious and ruthless, and she didn't recognize it.
A house slave of such a status, apart from Yunchen, who can move him? I'm afraid that even Yunxiao can't! Unless someone disguised herself as Zhufeng, or this Zhufeng had already had two hearts, otherwise her attack was Yunchen's handiwork!
Moreover, her return trip was extremely hidden, and no one knew the inside story except for King Ning and Qi Zhan. Only Yunchen!
Thinking of the three words "go to Jiang Guo" that he quietly wrote, Weinong only felt that it was a kind of irony. She knew she couldn't cry, and if her shoulders twitched, the wound would crack. But the pain and disappointment that permeated her heart were so turbulent, she was powerless to stop it.
It turned out that Chu Li was really dead. Her meager hopes were dashed after all......
The fingers that were still so cool slowly wiped away the tears for her, and sighed slowly: "I used to like your innocence, but now I think you are too ridiculous." Who are you Yunchen? It's just Chu Heng's makeover. Can't you even guess that? β
Wei Nong was still crying silently, unwilling to open his mouth to distinguish.
"In today's Jiang country, the courtiers all look to the queen and the horse, and King Jiang has already become an ornament. Then Queen Jiang was able to leave home and commit treason at a young age, ran to Jiang Country alone, and sat on the queen's throne, do you think she is a vegetarian? Jiang Guoren is so xenophobic, and he is even happy and convinced of her as a foreigner, such means, I am afraid that there is no second woman in the world. β
Nie Xingji couldn't help but sigh softly when he said this, and the meaning in that voice couldn't be more transparent: "Queen Jiang wants Chu Heng back, obviously she has a plan, you are reckless in exposing his fake identity, isn't it killing yourself?" β
Nie Xingji didn't go on, but just listening to his tone, he could also think of what kind of expression he had. But she still has a lot of questions in her heart that have not been solved, such as Yunchen's appearance, the origin of his identity, and what he wants to do when he goes to Ningguo...... It's a pity that she can't afford to ask again.
Nie Xingji seemed to know her very well, and said again: "After the Chu State was broken, I had seen Chu Heng's side, only to know that his left side of his face had already been broken. The king of Chu once searched for famous doctors to treat him, but heard that it had little effect...... Since arriving in Yan Kingdom, he has been living in seclusion for this reason. β
Nie Xingchen said as he observed the slightly thick expression, paused, and changed his words: However, Jiang Guoneng has always had a lot of strange people, and there are some secret techniques that are not passed on, and it seems that he has been cured. I don't know what their sister and brother have in mind, don't they think that King Ning is confused and can help them restore the country? β
After listening to Nie Xingji's words, the depression in his heart was nowhere to vent. Although he is sitting thousands of miles away, he knows her whereabouts and thoughts well, and he still watches her make a fool and watch her being beaten back to her original form again, what does he want to do?
"You must be calling me despicable in your heart," Nie Xingji stroked her hair instead, "but if I told you the truth, would you believe it?" With your nature, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, would you be willing? β
Wei Nong buried his face in the soft couch, unwilling to listen to another word.
However, Nie Xingji's words were in her ears, mellow, low, and with a very seductive softness: "You have been out for more than a year, and you can be regarded as seeing the sinister things of the world. Come back this time...... Take good care of your injuries. β
After all, he still had some scruples, and he didn't make a strong statement to keep her. However, the pause in the words was self-evident.
