Chapter 102: Healing the Black Wolf
As soon as Ai Qing walked to the door of Qinghua Palace, a low whimper sounded in his ears.
"Mother, it's a black wolf."
Ah Qi stepped forward to investigate, and found an inky wolf lying in the corner of the wall not far away, and the ground was clearly stained with blood from a dragging trail in the moonlight.
"It seems to be injured" Ah Qi squatted down to look, and found that it had obvious injuries on its neck and legs, and the blood had scabbed over the inky hair, which was difficult to detect without looking closely.
"Lift it in." Ai Qing instructed the guards to carry it, and he ordered uneasily: "Be lighter"
The guards lifted the black wolf to the table, and Aki carefully took out a cushion to cushion it so that it could lie down more comfortably.
In the flickering light, the shocking wound was revealed.
Ai Qing looked at the deep wound that could be seen to the bone, and felt a pain in his heart, the blood attached to the hair had scabbed, this was obviously injured in the melee last night, but for some reason it was not found by General Zhou and brought to be treated, but appeared at the door of Qinghua Palace.
Although it was doubtful, Ai Qing didn't have time to think about it, so she ordered Ah Qi to bring the medicine box, dip cotton yarn in the alcohol that had been distilled earlier, and carefully clean its wounds.
The alcohol was naturally extremely painful when it touched the wound, but the black wolf's eyes were full of pity and affection, and he stared at Ai Qing without saying a word.
When he woke up, he found himself curled up in the corner, with only one thought in his heart, to go back to Qinghua Hall as soon as possible and tell her that he was Mu Chun's decision.
But he couldn't make any sound in his throat except whimpering, and he couldn't even communicate with the wolf army. I was afraid that it would be self-defeating to show up rashly, so I could only take advantage of the night to drag my seriously injured body to the Qinghua Hall with difficulty.
It was only two corners away, and it endured the severe pain for half an hour, but as soon as it saw the courtyard gate of the Qinghua Palace, it could no longer hold on and fell.
Fortunately, the wolf's hearing was sensitive enough, and when he heard Ai Qing's familiar footsteps when he was drowsy, he used all his strength to whimper.
Mu Chun could definitely feel the pity and loneliness between Ai Qing's eyebrows and eyes at this moment, although he didn't know what had happened to her from last night's coma to now, but the woman he loved in front of him was clearly sad, and that kind of sadness overflowed from his eyes, stirring him up like a heartache.
Ai Qing looked at the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, afraid that his own actions hurt it, and only said, "Don't be afraid, I will cure you." ”
After speaking, he took the hemp he had prepared and boiled it for him to smell, wanting to relieve some of his pain.
Mu Chun couldn't make a sound in his throat, but he was very familiar with the medicine in front of him, he was not afraid of pain, but he was afraid that he would not be able to see her after falling asleep, so he held his breath and pretended to close his eyes when she was about to reach over.
Ai Qing saw that he fainted and carefully inspected the wound it covered under the hair, the wound on his leg was fine, but the finger-long wound on his neck made her heartbreaking, he had never seen the wolf in front of him, he only felt that he was very similar to the black halberd, but his body was weaker than the black halberd.
Seeing that the wound would cut the throat even a little deeper, Ai Qing couldn't help but tremble in his heart, took a blade and shaved the hair next to his wound carefully, carefully eliminated the poison again, and then ordered Ah Qi to take the needle and thread.
This wound is too big and deep, it must be stitched up as soon as possible, although he knows that the black wolf in front of him has fainted, Ai Qing still tries to be as light and stable as possible with each stitch. Night peep and those more than ten wolf soldiers died in vain, she must not let this one in front of her have anything to do.
And although Mu Chun closed his eyes, feeling the sharp pain of the needle and the pulling sensation of the cotton thread through the flesh, he gritted his teeth and did not move.
After sewing the last stitch, fine beads of sweat had overflowed on Ai Qing's forehead, and her back was so sore that she couldn't stand up. But as soon as she moved, she began to clean the wounds on Mu Chundu's legs again. It wasn't until all the wounds were bandaged and his pulse was probed that he sat down on the round stool with the help of Aqi.
Ai Qing knew that the imperial physician's medical skills in the palace were really not very good, and he was not at ease to send the wolf soldier with such a serious injury away, so he only ordered: "Leave it here tonight, and I can always check its injuries." If the injury is better tomorrow, it will be moved to the hospital. ”
Hearing Ai Qing's arrangement, most of the stones at the bottom of Mu Chun's determination also fell, and tonight was enough for him to think about telling her his identity.

It's night
A curtain of wind stopped at the window, and the moonlight shone on Ai Qing's face, revealing an indescribable sadness.
Mu Chun was lying on the soft floor where they used to play chess together, looking at Ai Qing's back with dark blue eyes, only regretting why he had to go out last night for Na Yan's plan. Now attached to the body of the wolf soldier, looking at the desolate figure of the woman he loves, he can't even say a word of comfort.
Holding on to the tearing pain in his neck, he turned his head to find the figure of the night peep, trying to let it speak for him. But after searching the beam of the house several times, I didn't find it.
Thinking of last night's events, an inexplicable uneasiness hit my heart. Is it dead? Last night, I clearly threw down the medicine bottle and ordered someone to save it! But Mu Chun also knew that if Ye Peep was still alive, he would definitely hide on the eaves. If you can't see it now, something must have happened to it.
"Are you also sad that the night peep is dead?" Ai Qing turned around and walked to his side, sat down, stroked his hair, and asked. Although she knew that the wolf in front of her couldn't give her any answer, she inexplicably wanted to say everything in her heart.
"It must be sad, right?" Ai Qing had tears in her eyes, and she moved the corners of her lips and replied to herself: "At least it won't be as indifferent as the emperor, today's wolf soldiers in the Qinghua Palace are all hidden in the dark, and they are probably mourning the night!" ”
Mu Chun decided to hear that the night peep was really dead, his blue eyes became calm, he wanted to avenge it, but he was bound by a sense of powerlessness. At the moment, he is just a wolf, how can he avenge it?
"The wound must be painful, right?" Ai Qing asked again.
He wanted to tell her that it didn't hurt, but he only moved slightly, and lay down weakly.
Thinking that he Mu Chun decided to fight on the battlefield in this life, he swept the Quartet, and the wars of all sizes have been experienced everywhere, but he has never been defeated again as he is now.
All this happened so suddenly, last night he could still hug Ai Qing and look at her sleeping face, but tonight he could only lie here, watching her sad but unable to do anything.

This night
Ai Qing lay on the bed with her stomach up, and chattered for a long time. told everything that happened with Mu Chunduan in the past two years like a story to the black wolf lying on the soft collapse, and also poured out Mu Chundu's indifference and changes and his helplessness on this day, until he was too sleepy, and then fell asleep in a daze.
Looking at her sleeping face, Mu Chunju, who was attached to the black wolf's body, couldn't close his eyes. Knowing that Gu Yan took Chu Yin into the palace, listening to the words that Gu Yan said through his body that Ai Qing said, he wanted to tell her that it was not him, but he couldn't bear to wake her up when he looked at her face that was not sleeping peacefully at the moment.
Until the sun rose and the person in the bed woke up, Mu Chun never closed his eyes.
The first thing Ai Qing did when he got up was to check his pulse.
"Why hasn't there been any improvement?" Ai Qing asked, after the 'alone' conversation last night, she already regarded the wolf in front of her as a friend.
"I think you still live in Qinghua Hall for a while, and when your injuries get better, if you want to stay here, I will order someone to tell Zhou Ying that I will peep away at night now, and I will transfer you to Qinghua Hall to accompany me."
Mu Chun decided to hear Zhou Ying's name, and unconsciously propped himself up, except for himself, only Zhou Ying understood wolf language in the whole world, if he could find him, he could let him pass the word to Ai Qing for himself.
Ai Qing saw him straighten up, touched his hair and let him lie down: "I know that you must be familiar with General Zhou, but if you want to see him, you have to heal your injuries first." ”
After speaking, he sighed heavily, and called Aqi in and ordered: "You order someone to see where the emperor is at the moment." ”
"Niangniang, Ah Qi has already asked, the emperor did not go to the court today, I heard Xiao Weizi say that the emperor locked himself in the Qianzheng Hall and has not come out since yesterday."
Listening to Ah Qi's words, Ai Qing twisted her eyebrows and asked again: "Xiao Weizi can say what he is doing?" ”
Ai Qing knew that Mu Chun would never give up easily, and from yesterday to this morning, his words and deeds were really weird. Previously, when Chuyin was welcomed into the palace, he could still think of making a compromise that he had to make for the stability of the court and the heir, but now that he ignores the affairs of the court, all this makes no sense again, Ai Qing doesn't know what else can be bigger than Li Ming in his eyes.
