Chapter 52: The Blood of the Merman
"Then why are you like eating dynamite?" Zhaoyue's round eyes widened.
"Didn't I say it, no one messed with me."
Obviously said this, Zhan Xing said to Zhao Yue as if he was unwilling: "Zhao Yue, it's not me talking about you, you should also pay attention to the influence in the future, Your Highness is Your Highness after all, why do you climb into bed in the middle of the night if you have nothing to do." ”
"Huh?"
Zhaoyue's face was different: "Sister, should you be angry about this, it thundered last night, I was just scared, your bed is too narrow to sleep one person, otherwise I will be with you." ”
"That's not appropriate, we entered the East Palace on the same day, and met Ah Luo on the same day, I haven't squeezed a bed with Ah Luo for so long, because I know that the most basic rules still have to be followed, and I usually go out with His Royal Highness and ask His Highness to buy you so many things, I never do this, Zhaoyue, you crossed the line."
Zhaoyue looked at her sister inexplicably, not knowing what to say.
Obviously, Hua Luo didn't mind anything, why did she mind so much.
Hua Luo remained silent, put down the hairpin in her hand, and said in an indifferent tone: "Zhanxing, I just happened to have something to find you." ”
"What's the matter?" Zhanxing asked.
Hua Luo opened a dark compartment on the dresser, took out a long box and handed it to Zhanxing.
"Open it and take a look."
Zhan Xing opened it and saw that it was a black black thing with a pointed tip, which looked like the teeth of some kind of giant beast, probably for aesthetic purposes, and a red gem on top.
"This is a fangs of the red-eyed blue spider, the red-eyed blue spider is very poisonous and extremely ferocious, it is difficult to obtain a complete fang, I happened to encounter it in the treasure pavilion, such a good thing naturally can't be missed, so I bought it."
"The fangs of the red-eyed blue spider are extremely lethal but very dangerous, ordinary people can't touch it easily, you must find someone who is good at using poison to take over, this person is none other than you."
Hua Luo's words cleverly raised Zhanxing high, and Zhanxing suddenly turned his anger into joy.
"Also, it's not a ruby, it's the eyes of a red-eyed blue spider, which can be very useful, why don't you try it outside?"
"Okay, thank you, Aluo."
When Zhanxing walked, his steps were much lighter.
Zhaoyue stepped forward: "Ah Luo, you still have a way, it's just that my sister suddenly got angry, I don't understand." ”
Hua Luo shook her head helplessly: "She hasn't always been like this, she loves to be jealous at every turn, just don't take it to heart." ”
"Oh, okay."
After Zhao Yue finished speaking, he went to do something else.
In the afternoon, one of Xiahou Qian's subordinates used Xiahou Qian's token to enter the palace, but was stopped outside the East Palace.
Xiahou Qian's subordinates had a bitter face: "I beg the two sisters to be gracious, our adults really have something very important to find His Royal Highness the Prince, I can only tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person about this matter, and ask the two sisters to be accommodating." ”
"What is there that is so secret that it cannot be announced?"
The two maids guarding the gate of the East Palace looked at each other.
At this moment, Zhan Xing passed by and recognized this person as Xia Houqian's subordinate, so he walked over and asked, "What's the situation?" ”
Xiahou Qian's subordinates showed Xiahou Qian's token: "Zhanxing girl, our adults have something very important for the little one to tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person, and if you are bothered, go and spread the word, let me meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Okay, come in with me."
Zhanxing looked at the other party's anxious look and agreed.
"Thank you, Miss Zhanxing!"
Xiahou Qian's subordinates followed behind Zhan Xing and soon came to the side hall.
Zhan Xing glanced at the closed door of Hua Luo's dormitory: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is taking a nap now, why don't you tell me about this matter first, and I will tell her when she wakes up." ”
"No, Miss Zhanxing, this matter cannot be delayed in a hurry."
Zhan Xing raised his eyebrows: "Your Highness has been busy with government affairs recently, and she hasn't had much rest, and now she finally drank the soothing soup and slept for less than a quarter of an hour, you let me wake her up?" Besides, I'm in the same breath as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and there's nothing I can't know. ”
Xiahou Qian's subordinates saw that Zhan Xing had a tough attitude, and thought that Zhan Xing was indeed Hua Luo's cronies, so he said: "Zhan Xing girl, our wife has a difficult birth, her life hangs by a thread, no matter what precious medicinal materials are useless, only the blood of the mermaid can hang his wife's life to help her give birth, so ...... So ......"
"So Lord Xiahou sent you to get the blood of the merman?"
The blood of the merman does have a miraculous effect, but the merman lives in the South China Sea, and the only merman tribe here is Hua Luo and her father Yan Nanxing.
Yan Nanxing didn't know that Xia Houqian would definitely not help, but Hua Luo was the prince, how could he damage his body?
Zhan Xing's willow eyebrows were raised: "Presumptuous! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's gold is as precious as jade, how can his body be damaged? ”
With a plop, Xiahou Qian's subordinates knelt on the ground: "Our lord said that this time he really asked for His Royal Highness the Prince, Madame really can't do it, if he has any other way, he will definitely not send a small one to find His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"But even if you tell Your Highness, Your Highness will not necessarily agree."
Lord Xiahou's wife is just an ordinary woman, and Hua Luo is the future lord of a country, and there is a way to respect and humility in the world, and there is no reason to let Hua Luo sacrifice.
Just as Xiahou Qian's subordinates were about to continue, suddenly Hua Luo's voice sounded: "Who said I didn't want to." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Xia Houqian's subordinates had a glint of hope in their eyes.
"Ah Luo, you don't really want to hurt yourself to save Lord Xiahou's wife, this won't work, in case you let Your Majesty know......"
"It's important to save people." Hua Luo interrupted Zhan Xing's words and said to Xia Houqian's subordinates, "This palace has heard everything, don't say much, let's go." ”
"Ah Luo, you wait for me!"
Zhan Xing saw that he couldn't stop Hua Luo, and quickly followed Hua Luo.
Xiahou Qian's mansion was already in chaos, and all kinds of subordinates were busy, and they saw Hua Luo kneeling down one after another.
Finally, Hua Luo walked into the courtyard of Mrs. Xiahou Qian's Qiaonu, and a burst of screams came, mixed with the voice of the midwife.
"Madam, keep persisting, hard, hard! It's almost born......"
At this time, Xiahou Qian ran over, his eyebrows and eyes were haggard, and he knelt on the ground when he saw Hua Luo coming.
"The minister kneels down to thank His Highness for his great kindness."
"Get up, didn't you say that only the blood of the mermaid can save the Qiao Nu now, hurry up and bring the bowl."
Hua Luo said, already taking out a shiny dagger from the storage bag.
Xiahou Qian was very ashamed, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, in the future, the ministers will definitely serve His Royal Highness until death." ”
Soon, the bowl came, and Hua Luo decisively cut her snow-white wrist.
There was a click, and blood dripped down.
After filling a bowl, Zhan Xing hurriedly took a handkerchief to stop the bleeding for Hua Luo: "Your Highness, are you okay, does it hurt?" ”
Hua Luo pressed her wrist with a handkerchief to stop the bleeding, and said to Xiahou Qian: "Use it to save Qiaonu." ”
Xiahou Qian graciously handed the bowl of blood to a maid and brought it in.
It didn't take long for the little maid to run out: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, my lord, Madame has used the blood of the mermaid to bleed less, but she is exhausted and is about to pass out, and the doctor said that a bowl may not be enough." ”
"Then take another bowl."
"Ah Luo!" Zhan Xing blurted out, very worried about Hua Luo's condition.
"You yourself are also poisoned by Gu poison now, bloodletting will hurt your vitality, what if your Gu poison takes advantage of the void and has an attack."
Xiahou Qian was without a master for a while, he didn't want Hua Luo to be in danger, and he was worried about the safety of his wife and the child in his womb.
Hua Luo said disapprerovingly: "What if the first bowl of blood is taken and then the next bowl, saving people needs to be saved, I'm fine, bring it." ”
Soon, the white porcelain bowl received a second bowl of blood.
After a while, the little maid came out again to report the situation: "Madame has the strength to give birth!" ”
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The sun hung in the sky, sprinkling hot on the body of the flower.
Hua Luo suddenly felt a little dizzy, her fair cheeks were flushed with a layer of red tide, and her body shook slightly.
Zhan Xing hugged Hua Luo and said worriedly: "Ah Luo, what's wrong with you, are you okay?" ”
"Maybe it really damaged a little vitality, Xiahou, since Qiaonu can continue to give birth, then you can continue to guard, I'll go back first."
"Your Highness, you have to take care of yourself, so that the minister can rest assured."
Xia Houqian was very concerned about how Hua Luo was, but there was a clever girl in the house who was desperately giving birth, and he really couldn't leave.
"Ah Luo, you go back quickly."
Zhanxing looked very bad at Hua Luo.
When he rushed back to the East Palace, Zhan Xing found that Hua Luo's body was hot and cold, her eyes were dazed, and her consciousness was a little unclear.
"Yes, Your Highness, you look very bad, I'll go find the Imperial Doctor, Zhaoyue, take good care of Your Highness."
"Oh, good."
Zhao Yue reacted from her surprise and helped Hua Luo to lie down on the bed.
Hua Luo couldn't hear the voices of Zhanxing and Zhaoyue, and she couldn't see everything around her.
Her gaze was hollow, and she was plunged into darkness.
The huge Gu worm crawled towards her, opening its mouth wide of blood to devour her.
Hua Luo returned to the year when she was just canonized as a crown prince at the age of eight.
It was also a sunny afternoon, and she excitedly wanted to show her mother the magic she had just learned.
She ran so fast that the maids who cared for her could not catch up with her.
But when she came to the queen mother's bedroom, she saw that the queen mother said that she had high hopes for the eldest sister, but now the situation in the court and China is complicated, and under the calm surface is all kinds of turmoil, forming gangs, and whoever becomes the prince will be unlucky.
If you can survive, it is fine, but if you can't, you will definitely become a political victim.
Therefore, she chose to let Hua Luo sweep this thunder, and when everything settles down, it is unknown whether Hua Luo is still the prince or not.
When Hua Luo heard this, she was struck by lightning.
In the end, she did not come forward to break the queen mother and the eldest sister, as if nothing had happened, and silently exited the queen mother's dormitory before others found her, and walked to the garden by the pond.
At this time, a voice came from Hua Luo's head.
"Your life is really a mess, your mother doesn't love you, it's even more difficult to see your father, and now you're still being treated as a puppet, it's better to get rid of it as soon as possible, and you'll be a good man again in 20 years."
