Chapter 311: Beloved's Heart's Blood
Jiang Chongjin nodded, "In the end, my grandfather used spiritism to save the man. ”
"Spiritualism?"
Jiang Chongjin: "People have three souls and seven spirits, they are the natal spirit of people, people's souls are usually attached to the human body, when people are accidentally frightened, or tortured by illness, their souls will fall away from the body, it is difficult to return, this is the soul, this is the case of Sister Shi'er now." ”
"I remember you once said that your occult art was taught by your grandfather, so do you have a way to save Shishi?" Pei Xuanling had never been so desperate for a good answer.
Jiang Chongjin: "My mystic art is in the same vein as my grandfather, for this kind of strange thing, I naturally have a way to save Sister Shi'er, and although Sister Shi has changed her core, she is not my own sister-in-law, but everything she has done for our Jiang family is better than my own sister-in-law, I just do my best to save her." ”
In this war with the Western Xia Kingdom, Sister Shi didn't worry a lot about him and Brother Yong in the barracks, and often sent letters to the barracks.
Every time they were secretly told something in the letter, they all listened to Sister Shi'er's reminder.
In the end, it was proved that what Sister Shi'er said in the letter was right, and secretly helped them avoid a lot of disasters.
At that time, he and Brother Yong were only sisters who were poets and were the little lucky stars of the Jiang family.
It wasn't until now that he heard the prince say this, and he knew that every time Sister Shi'er helped others avoid trouble, her own body was suffering greatly.
If she really came from another world, and they were not related to the Jiang family, but she bothered to help them so much, wouldn't she be like a sister-in-law?!
"She only has three days to live, and Qingdai can use medicine to help her continue her life for three days, and she only has six days to live at most." Pei Xuanling counted the days and hurriedly instructed Jiang Chongjin, "Since you have a way, without further ado, you see what you need, let's start quickly." ”
"Your Majesty, Sister Shi'er is my sister-in-law, and I am also anxious to see her like this, but this matter cannot be rushed, I have to choose an auspicious day first."
"But she only has six days to live, and she still has an auspicious day?" Pei Xuanling was so anxious that his eyebrows furrowed, "If there is no auspicious day in six days, you can just pick a day that is not too bad." ”
Jiang Chongjin: "Don't worry, I think the day you ascend the throne will be good." ”
"How was it on the eighth day of the fifth month?" Thinking that today is the sixth day of the new year, and the eighth day of the new year will have to be delayed for two days, Pei Xuanling was anxious, but he couldn't help it, so he had to nod, "That is the case, the eighth day of the first month is the eighth day of the first month......
Jiang Chongjin: "Your Majesty, now this day has been chosen, but if you want to save Sister Shi'er, there is the most important point." ”
"What is needed? I'm going to get people ready! ”
"Chen once heard my grandfather say that when he saved the man, he used the heart and blood of the man he loved, so the minister needs the heart and blood of Sister Shi'er's beloved."
"Beloved?" Pei Xuanling muttered, "Where can I go to find her beloved......?" ”
"Don't look for it." Jiang Chongjin on the side smiled after hearing this.
Pei Xuanling turned his head and looked at Jiang Chongjin in surprise.
I only heard Jiang Chongjin smile and said: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you, Sister Shi'er's beloved is you......"
The bystanders are clear, the authorities are confused, even if Jiang Chongjin broke this point, Pei Xuanling still couldn't believe it, "His beloved is me?" ”
In his impression, Roubaozi has never shown or expressed love to him, let alone taken the initiative or couldn't help but kiss her.
On the contrary, he couldn't help but kiss her skin several times, and she resisted at first.
Gradually, even if she didn't resist, she would stop at a critical moment every time and remind him not to touch her body.
Although he didn't understand how a woman could love a man, his intuition told him that at least Meat Bun didn't love him.
"Exactly." Jiang Chongjin tried to help the emperor analyze, "Last year, before you went to inspect various places, you and Sister Shi went to Jiang's house to ask the ministers to help you divinate the good fortune. ”
"At that time, the minister told you and Sister Shi that you would be extremely dangerous along the way, and I was afraid that you would have to worry about your life, but after Sister Shi heard it, she did not have a trace of timidity, and still insisted on going with you to various places to inspect water conservancy."
"Just imagine, even if an ordinary woman knows that her beloved will be in danger on the road, she may not accompany a man to birth and death, but Sister Shi knows that you are in danger, but she still accompanies you to patrol all places, she should love you."
Pei Xuanling: "......" He actually felt that Jiang Chongjin was quite reasonable.
Jiang Chongjin: "Moreover, if even you are not Sister Shi'er's beloved, the minister doesn't know who Sister Shi'er will love, if you lack the heart and blood of this beloved, you won't be able to save Sister Shi'er." ”
"In that case, let's try it." It's just that Pei Xuanling asked with some relief: "If I am not her beloved, but you take my heart's blood, can you still save her?" ”
"......," Jiang Chongjin shook his head, "If you weren't his beloved, she would die." ”
Pei Xuanling: "......"
Jiang Chongjin: "But now there is only this way, after all, in this short period of time, except for you, we can't think of any other candidate, if it exceeds the time, her soul is taken away by the underworld, even the spiritualism will not help......"
Originally, Pei Xuanling was still hesitant, but listening to Jiang Chongjin's meaning, the woman on the horizontal bed was also a death, it was better to play a game, maybe there was a glimmer of life.
"Okay, then take my heart's blood."
"Don't rush to do it yet." Jiang Chongjin reminded: "After all, the blood is taken from your heart, which will have some impact on your body. ”
"In addition, when the minister uses occult arts to summon the soul of Sister Shi'er, he uses your heart's blood, and at that time, regardless of whether Sister Shi'er is alive or not, you will live for ten years......"
"I know, and in a moment I will call the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital and tell them about the blood of the heart." Pei Xuanling replied without hesitation.
It's as if that ten-year life span is just a ten-day lifespan.
In Pei Xuanling's opinion, he finally met a woman he liked in his life.
The two of them have come all the way to the present, and he has finally ascended the throne now, if he can't share the prosperity of this world with her, let alone ten years of longevity, what's the point of living?
Moreover, he did not forget, she said that she would give birth to him, and he has been waiting for that day.
"......" Jiang Chongjin was slightly stunned.
Before he told the emperor that if the emperor was not Sister Shi'er's beloved, it would lead to the failure of the conjuring spirit, and Sister Shi'er would die because of it, and the emperor hesitated at that time.
Now that he learned that he would use ten years of life to save Sister Shi'er, the emperor did not hesitate at all.
Not to mention that it is difficult for ordinary men to reduce the life span of a woman by ten years, not to mention, this man is still the emperor.
Throughout the ages, how many emperors who were greedy for power began to seek immortality and eat all kinds of pills to maintain their health as soon as they reached middle age, and the Daxing Emperor was not a good example?
But for the sake of Sister Shi, the emperor was able to reduce his life expectancy by ten years without hesitation.
It seems that Sister Shi did not meet the wrong person, and it was not in vain that Sister Shi suffered and helped the emperor avoid trouble many times.
When the two talked about this, they had basically discussed it.
At this time, Pei Xuanling suddenly remembered that there was something he hadn't asked clearly, "By the way, I forgot to ask you, and then you used spiritism to save you... It won't be the original poem, but the later poem, right? ”
"The original sister Shi has long since died, and the minister rescued her... Naturally, she is a poetic sister from another world. Jiang Chongjin replied truthfully.
Originally, he was worried that the emperor would treat her as a demon girl because Sister Shi'er had changed her core, or his feelings for her would change.
Now it seems that the emperor doesn't care about this at all, but is faintly worried that he is saving his original sister-in-law.
He was sure that if it was the original sister Shi who was rescued, the emperor would definitely not save people with his blood and ten years of longevity.
No... Is there such a dislike for other people's sisters in front of their brothers?
"......" learned that it was the poetry of another world that was rescued, and Pei Xuanling nodded with satisfaction.
After Jiang Chongjin and Pei Xuanling discussed, they didn't stay in the palace for long, but went out of the palace to prepare the things needed for the sacrifice.
Pei Xuanling returned to the front yard and summoned the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital to discuss how to take his heart's blood.
Inevitably, that group of old decay was prejudiced against Jiang Shishi, he did not say that the blood was taken for Jiang Shishi, only that the blood must be taken at noon on the eighth day of the first month of May.
"Your Majesty, you are so good, you are not sick, and you have no other problems, why do you want to take your heart's blood?"
"You've got a wound on your body, and it's bloody... It will damage your dragon body even more, and the emperor must not do it. ”
"What's more, you have to take your heart's blood on the eighth day of the fifth month, it is a good day for your enthronement ceremony, and you can't see blood, the emperor ......"
At this moment, a group of imperial doctors knelt in the front courtyard hall, persuading their new emperor bitterly.
"I have made up my mind, so you don't need to persuade me anymore." Pei Xuanling sat solemnly and majestically at the top of the hall, his deep ink pupils exuding an unwavering light, and his whole person was cold and resolute.
Since the emperor insisted on taking the blood of his heart, the imperial doctors did not dare to disobey the order, otherwise it would be a rebellion.
What's more, the new emperor took office three times, and only a while ago he severely punished nearly half of the officials in the DPRK.
If they are disobedient at this time, it will not be good if they annoy the emperor.
So, the head of the imperial doctor had no choice but to bite the bullet, "The ministers also consider that taking the blood from the heart will damage the emperor's dragon body, but since the emperor insists on taking the blood from the heart, there must be your reason, and the ministers will definitely discuss a blood collection method that is most suitable for you, and try to minimize the damage to the dragon body......"
"Okay, who has any objections?" A voice without any emotion came out of the emperor's mouth.
The imperial doctors knelt on the ground tremblingly, and no one dissuaded them.
With a sharp gaze, he glanced at the imperial doctor kneeling down, and Pei Xuanling said lightly: "Very good, then it's decided, take my heart's blood on the eighth day of the fifth month!" ”
**
In the thirtieth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, on the eighth day of the fifth month, the new emperor was located in the palace Baohe Palace, changed the country name to Shunde, and took the next year as the first year of Shunde.
On this day, Pei Xuanling got up before dawn.
Huang Dechang waited for him to change into a bright yellow dragon robe and put on a crown.
After washing up and having some breakfast at will, Pei Xuanling took the dragon chariot carried by dozens of people around the palace, and finally stopped the dragon chariot in the Baohe Palace.
Huang Dechang stood beside Long Yuan with the dust, "The emperor has arrived!" ”
When they got there, the princes and ministers stood early and waited for His Royal Highness Baohe.
When everyone saw that the emperor was coming, they bowed one after another, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live......
Pei Xuanling stepped on the ink-colored dragon pattern boots, and walked to the Baohe Hall under the bow of the princes and ministers.
The man's steps are even, every step is firm and calm, and his gestures reveal a natural imperial domineering!
When he walked to His Royal Highness Baohe, the man walked from the printed carpet in the middle to the high relief dragon pattern outside the Baohe Palace.
Song Fu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, opened a bright yellow box from the tray held by his subordinates and carefully handed it to Pei Xuanling.
Pei Xuanling looked at the coiling dragon jade seal in the box, as well as the golden tiger talisman.
These two are the emperor's seal in the six jade seals, and the tiger talisman in charge of the world's military power!
After Pei Xuanling took the box with both hands, he entered the hall and bowed to the queen mother sitting inside.
"Today is a good day for you, the emperor hurry up." The Queen Mother helped Pei Xuanling up, looked at Pei Xuanling with relief, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily rose slightly.
thinks that at the beginning, although she became the queen of the dynasty with her mother's tough background, she had no children under her knees, and the first emperor did not love her very much.
Fortunately, the prince is raised by her, but this stepmother is not good, she is strictly managed, and there is easy estrangement between mother and son.
In addition, over the years, she has seen the prince overcome all the obstacles all the way to the present, and every time she is worried.
Especially a while ago, King Mu controlled the situation in the court and the palace, and she pinched a cold sweat for the prince, and she was also worried about her own future.
If King Mu ascends the throne, he will definitely crown his own mother as the queen mother.
She has been in charge of the harem for many years, and it must be uncomfortable for her to suddenly bow her head to other concubines.
It's just that she can't be the queen mother, King Mu has always been ruthless, whether he will want her life is another matter.
Fortunately... She finally waited for the day when the crown prince ascended the throne, and she was so happy in her heart.
Immediately afterwards, Song Fu read the edict left by Emperor Daxing in public.
When he read the edict, Pei Xuanling walked to the top and sat down on the dragon chair in the Baohe Palace.
Outside the palace, the princes and ministers frequently bowed three times and bowed to the new emperor, "Congratulations to our emperor on his ascension to the great treasure, long live the emperor, long live long live!" ”
The majestic voice sounded outside the Baohe Palace, and people were awe-inspired.
Moreover, they all had bright smiles on their faces congratulating the new emperor on his accession to the throne.
Compared with the smiles on the faces of the Queen Mother and the ministers, Pei Xuanling, who was sitting on the dragon chair, did not have a trace of smile, but there was a faint sadness in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.
Outside, the morning light slowly opened a new curtain, and the warm light shone on every minister.
Even the Queen Mother sitting in the hall had a beam of morning light shining on the Queen Mother from the palace door.
As for Pei Xuanling at the head of the hall, although the dragon chair he sat on was golden, that place was gloomy and gloomy, and there was no light at all.
The so-called imperial power is like a shining light.
When it burns, it will engulf the whole world.
When it converges on the light, it warms up the whole time.
What hasn't changed, however... The person who stands under this lamp and holds authority, no matter how the flame on the lamp rises and falls, the person under the lamp is always in the dark, to spy on the world that is lit and illuminated by the lamp.
But all the while, the warmth and light on the lamp did not spread to his people at all.
This kind of person is the emperor!
Until the end of the day, after going through a series of processes, Pei Xuanling finally completed the enthronement ceremony.
Due to the state funeral, the banquet cannot be held.
Therefore, after the enthronement ceremony, Pei Xuanling took the lead in leaving and went directly to Shiyue Pavilion.
When she got there, Qingdai was feeding Jiang Shishi life-sustaining medicine.
At the same time, six imperial doctors were also waiting in Shiyue Pavilion, waiting to give the emperor his heart and blood at any time.
After about a cup of tea, Jiang Chongjin also rushed to Shiyue Pavilion from the enthronement ceremony, ready to summon Jiang Shishi's spirit.
He first changed out of his official uniform and put on a Taoist robe.
As for the preparation of props, he used to let the people under him prepare.
But Jiang Shishi is his sister-in-law, he is really not at ease, and he personally prepares the supplies for sacrifice and soul summoning throughout the whole process.
Because Jiang Shishi is still unconscious, Jiang Chongjin has no choice but to summon spirits with a staff in the inner room.
When he summoned the spirit, Pei Xuanling dismissed all the minions in the inner room.
And he himself is lying in the ear room, and the imperial doctors are working together to get his heart's blood.
At this moment, Pei Xuanling was lying shirtless on the recliner in the ear room.
The imperial physician first used a silver needle as a puncture point between the 3rd, 4th, and 5th intercostal spaces in his precordial area to test it.
Every time the silver needle pierced, there was a tingling pain in the chest.
And with each inch, the stinging sensation is a little stronger.
After choosing the puncture point at the heart, an imperial doctor pierced a silver needle into Pei Xuanling's heart quickly and accurately.
Soon, a drop of blood was concentrated at the end of the silver needle, and the imperial doctor immediately caught it with a cup.
Before, Pei Xuanling only felt a tingling pain in his chest, but at this moment, he only felt a huge pain in his heart.
As the blood dripped into the cup, the heart felt like a blunt knife was cutting.
But he just clenched the socket of his back teeth and didn't say a word, but his forehead and face were so painful that beads of sweat oozed the size of beans.
When the cup had collected a cup of blood, Pei Xuanling commanded the minions below in a trembling voice, "Huang... Huang Dechang... Fast... Quickly take this blood to Jiang Chongjin......"
After speaking, the man's head tilted, and he fainted in pain.
On the other side, Jiang Chongjin took the cup of the emperor's blood, and stained those spirit-summoning tools with his heart's blood.
He also stained some blood on the clothes he had prepared for Jiang Shishi in advance, and asked Chun Xing to change them for Jiang Shishi.
When everything was ready, he wrote Jiang Shishi's birthday on red paper, lit incense and candles, held a staff in his hand, and recited a mantra in his mouth............
**
However, after this day, Jiang Shishi still did not wake up.
Even Pei Xuanling was in a coma for several days before waking up.
It was inevitable that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military had opinions about Jiang Shishi, and he concealed the matter of taking his heart and soul for Jiang Shishi.
As for the palace maids and eunuchs and imperial doctors involved in this matter, he also warned them not to say much, and those who violated them would be killed with a cane!
But he was on the throne, and he hadn't been to the court for several days, so he had to give an explanation to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
Therefore, he only said that he was injured on the battlefield, and he was busy with the throne after returning to the palace, which led to his coma.
When the Manchu officials learned about it, they were very worried, shouting that the new emperor had worked hard, and begging the new emperor to recuperate for a few more days, and it was important to take care of the dragon's body.
The heart is one of the most important organs of a human being, Pei Xuanling was in a coma for a few days, and lay in bed for several days.
When his body was a little better, he learned that Jiang Shishi hadn't woken up yet, he really couldn't hold back, so he didn't follow the doctor's instructions to stay in bed to recuperate, and went to Shiyue Pavilion by chariot.
When he got there, Huang Dechang helped Pei Xuanling into the inner room.
In fact, Pei Xuanling can walk by himself, but his heart has been taken with a light of blood, and he needs to recuperate, if he moves violently, it is not conducive to the recovery of the wound.
When he arrived in the inner room, Pei Xuanling sat down on the circle chair next to the bed, staring at the woman on the bed all the time, and asked Chun Xing about the situation, "How many days is your little master doing?" ”
"Back to the emperor, since Lord Jiang summoned the soul of the little master, plus Miss Qingdai gave the little master a new prescription to regulate his body, although the little master did not wake up, but his appetite has improved a lot." Chun Xing talked about Jiang Shishi's situation in detail.
"Now the little master can pour more than half a bowl of medicine every time, and you can also eat some nourishing gruel, and after the Qingdai girl has diagnosed the pulse of the little master in the past few days, she said that the pulse and body of the little master are slowly getting better, and even Master Jiang said that the little master has closed out of the ghost gate, and it is a matter of time before the little master wakes up......"
Speaking of this, the corners of Chunxing's mouth are raised.
Hearing that Jiang Shishi's situation had improved in all aspects, Pei Xuanling felt a little relieved.
It's just that if the woman on the bed doesn't wake up for a day, he can't be completely at ease for a day.
As early as the sixth day of the fifth month, Jiang Chongjin and Qingdai both said that the lifespan of meat buns was only a few days.
It's May 20th, and it's been 14 days, so she should get through this crisis, right?
After asking Jiang Shishi some information, Pei Xuanling waved his hand to dismiss the servants in the house, and sat quietly on the edge of the bed looking at the woman.
Reached out and touched the woman's hand on the side of the bed, although it was still a little cold, but it was not as cold as a while ago.
Holding the woman's small hand in the palm of his hand, he looked at the woman's face with deep eyes, "Shishi, when my father died, I was embattled, and at that time... I had prepared for the worst for myself, but I never thought that in the end, I would become the emperor, and you... How did you end up like this......"
"If I can, let alone ten years of life, I am willing to exchange my own life for your life." Speaking of this, the man seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he changed his words in time, "It's not right... Wouldn't it be a great loss if you came back to life and I died......"
The man smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's better to exchange eighty percent of my lifespan for your life, in that case, there are still twenty percent of my lifespan, I will govern the Eastern Liang Kingdom well, and we will have a son and a daughter, and I will have no regrets......"
The man who had never talked much talked to the woman talked a lot, but the woman on the bed did not react or respond at all.
Looking at the woman lying quietly on the bed, Pei Xuanling was distressed and flustered, he held the woman's hands and put them between his foreheads, "Shishi, wake up quickly......"
**
In the days when Pei Xuanling was recuperating in bed, the recitals of the Longyuan Hall had been piled up as high as a mountain.
So, in the following days, Pei Xuanling began to stay in bed to deal with the twists and turns.
Now that he has ascended the throne, he can arrange the concubines of the East Palace.
At the same time as reviewing the folds, he issued several holy decrees, canonizing Concubine Ruan as Concubine Xian, and Jiang Shishi as Concubine Chun.
Yu Liangdi was canonized as a concubine, Xue Liangdi was named Jieyu, and Lu Meiren was still a harem beauty.
As for the queen, if there was a crown princess in the East Palace before, she could naturally become the queen when the prince ascended the throne.
But there has been no crown princess in the East Palace all these years, and the queen's throne can only be canonized from next year to show respect for the emperor, which is the rule.
Now that it is still the period of the national funeral, Pei Xuanling issued a few holy decrees to canonize the concubines, so that they can keep everything simple, and there will be no big banquets.
Now Jiang Shishi is still in a coma, and the affairs of the harem are in charge of Concubine Xian.
In the blink of an eye, it was June, Pei Xuanling's injuries had recovered, but Jiang Shishi had not woken up.
On the tenth day of the first month of June, Kaifeng Mansion sent a big flood, and as soon as Pei Xuanling's injury was healed, he personally went to Kaifeng with disaster relief materials.
However, not long after he left the capital with his front foot, Jiang Shishi of Shiyue Pavilion woke up.
When Pei Xuanling came back from disaster relief, Jiang Shishi was conditioned by Qingdai and carefully served by Chunxing and Chun Peach, and her complexion and body were gradually improving.
On June 20, after learning that Jiang Shishi had woken up, Pei Xuanling handed over the disaster relief matters to the local prefect after arranging the disaster relief matters almost completely.
Then, he rushed back to the capital from Kaifeng with his people.
On a June day, it was so hot that a horse ran to death on the road.
By the time he returned to the palace, he was sweating profusely.
The man didn't care about going back to Longyuan Hall to bathe, nor did he care about changing clothes, so he went straight to Shiyue Pavilion.
Yes, on this day, the palace maid and eunuch saw His Majesty the Emperor, who had always been calm and calm, running wildly in the palace.
After running all the way to Shiyue Pavilion, Pei Xuanling didn't care about wiping his sweat.
