Chapter 201: The Long Night
"Didn't my voice become like this because I was hit with an aphrodisiac?" Ye Qianhuai asked.
"yes."
"So wouldn't it be better if the effect of the medicine had passed? Can't you revert to the man's voice it used to be? Ye Tianhuai was puzzled.
"Yes. But how are you going to let the effects pass? Zhou Shouyi, on the contrary, felt that Ye Tianhuai was unreasonable.
Ye Tianhuai was stunned, as if he didn't understand what Zhou Shouyi meant.
Zhou Shouyi sighed and explained: "This aphrodisiac in you is called 'Three Days Around the Beam', and the reason why it is called 'Three Days Around the Beam' is because its medicinal strength is very strong, and it can last for three days and three nights. ”
Ye Qianhuai looked at Zhou Shouyi with an incredulous gaze: "Three days and three nights? Is this really something that can be eaten? ”
Zhou Shouyi coughed lightly and said: "Although it can last for three days and three nights, in fact, it is only uncomfortable for the first two or three hours. If you don't have contact with the opposite sex, it's not a big deal. ”
After speaking, Zhou Shouyi suddenly changed his words and said, "But it's different for you." ”
Ye Qianhuai was just about to ask him what was different, but Zhou Shouyi had already said directly: "This medicine will suppress the effect of the voice-changing medicine I gave you." In other words, you will be the voice you are in for three days. ”
This made Ye Qianhuai frown.
It's this voice for three days, that is, you can't see people for three days, it's too dangerous.
"Is this medicine cure?" Ye Qianhuai asked a little softly.
Zhou Shou paused and replied, "There are three ways. First, find someone to with. ”
Seeing Ye Tianhuai's suddenly gloomy look, Zhou Shouyi immediately said: "Second, the old minister will boil you a dose of decoction, let you sleep for a day and a night, and then close yourself to rest for two days, you will be well and not suffer." ”
Ye Tianhuai hesitated, three days was a bit too long.
The queen suddenly drugged her, and the corpse in Kunning Palace was missing, it was obvious that Gu Shihai had already made a move, and she didn't dare to guarantee that nothing would happen in the past three days.
"Is there any other way?"
Zhou Shouyi sighed imperceptibly, as if he had expected that she would be dissatisfied with the first two methods.
"The old minister can give you an injection to force out all the medicinal properties of this medicine, so that Your Majesty can return to normal within an hour or two."
Seeing that Ye Qianhuai's eyes lit up obviously, Zhou Shouyi changed his words again: "However, the effect of the three-day medicine is concentrated in one hour, and it is not something that ordinary people can bear." ”
Seeing that Zhou Shouyi stopped talking, Ye Qianhuai asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Zhou Shouyi looked at Ye Qianhuai, and his eyes showed a little unbearable: "Your Majesty will feel ...... Hunger and thirst attack, like ten thousand ants eating bones, pain is unbearable, and may even hurt oneself. ”
There was a moment of silence between the two.
Ye Tianhuai finally said: "Grandpa Zhou, let's give the needle." ”
"You kid ......" Zhou Shouyi sighed again, as if he wanted to persuade something, but seeing Ye Tianhuai's determined look, he knew that it was useless for him to say anything, so he simply didn't say more.
He took out a pack of silver needles from the medicine box and asked Ye Tianhuai to lie down on the wooden couch next to him, although the bed was spacious, but because no one lived in the palace for a long time, there was no bedding, it was hard and cold, and it was very embarrassing.
Zhou Shouyi pulled Ye Qianhuai's collar and let the acupuncture points be exposed, he took a silver needle and pinched it in his hand, he stopped before the needle, and said to Ye Tianhuai: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the old minister will always be by your side." ”
Ye Tianhuai took a deep breath, nodded at him, and motioned for him to start.
On October 17 of the third year, the birthday of the Emperor of Dajing, Ye Tianhuai, was a bright moonlit night.
For many, it's a sleepless night.
For Ye Qianhuai, it was a difficult sleepless night.
But many years later, Ye Qianhuai recalled that perhaps it was this night that changed the history of Dajing.
Zhou Shouyi guarded Ye Qianhuai all night.
Ye Tian's superhuman endurance convinced him.
She barely moved except for sweaty hunched over the bed frame and a few small moans coming from between her clenched lips.
The more she forbears, the more distressed Zhou Shouyi becomes.
He knew that Ye Qianhuai was afraid of making a disturbance and would be discovered by the patrolling forbidden army.
But he couldn't do anything.
He could only watch, and he had to watch for a moment, lest she hurt herself because of the pain.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Shouyi picked up the silk handkerchief and wanted to wipe the sweat on her forehead for her.
As soon as his hand touched Ye Qianhuai's forehead, the girl suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist and dragged it in front of her.
Zhou Shouyi was dragged by her and stumbled, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but Ye Tianhuai's hand was amazingly strong, and she grabbed Zhou Shouyi's wrist with both hands, as if she was holding some treasure, and refused to let go.
Zhou Shouyi's face turned white with fright, after all, Ye Qianhuai was at the time of the attack of medicine, and it was really hard to say what he could do.
But the girl did not make any further moves.
In the dark, Zhou Shouyi could feel Ye Tianhuai's hot breathing and rapid heartbeat.
After I don't know how long, Zhou Shouyi felt that his hands were numb, and then, he heard Ye Qianhuai slowly squeeze out two words from between his lips.
"First...... Raw ......"
The girl's voice was as soft as a wisp of smoke, and if you didn't notice it, it would be fleeting. But the weight of those two words seems to be a thousand pounds, as if it was turned around in my heart a thousand times ten thousand times before it inadvertently rolled out from between my lips and teeth.
Zhou Shouyi was stunned.
He knew what kind of medicine Ye Tian was in his arms, and he also knew what the effect of the medicine was. So he also knew what it meant that at this time, Ye Tianhuai could say these two words in such a half-pleading and half-suppressed tone.
He seemed to have a glimpse of the secret hidden in the heart of the child he watched grow up.
He could even imagine what kind of picture Ye Qianhuai had in his mind at this moment.
The effect of the medicine paralyzed her consciousness and shook her reason, making her unconsciously think of Lu Yanchen's smile. I remembered every glance between them, every word he said to her, the unintentional touches he had when he taught her martial arts, and the fact that he had hugged her tightly before she died.
At this moment, these pasts resurfaced in her mind, but they seemed to have an extra layer of ambiguity.
She wanted to be held tightly in his arms, even if she wanted her to die again.
She hated him because he had betrayed her trust and raised an army against her to force her to kill herself.
So she warned herself countless times that no matter how gentle and frugal Lu Yanchen looked, she must not trust him.
But he behaved too well.
He believed in her unconditionally, and for the sake of her birth and death, he was willing to use the knife in her hand for her, even if it was cut off in her hand without complaint.
If all this is acting, then Lu Yanchen's performance can be called leaky.
Whenever he saved her from fire and water, when Ye Qianhuai saw the sentence he was hiding close to him, "The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is happy and you don't know", she wanted to ask him why.
Why did he raise an army against her, why did he make public the fact that she was a woman, and why did he denounce her with righteous indignation in his writings.
Was she really that unbearable in his heart?
But she couldn't ask.
She couldn't question him in this life with the things of her past life.
She could only suppress her doubts and watch out for him.
She had been on guard for a long time, and she had forgotten how much she used to like him.
She buried her liking for him and her desire for him deep under those doubts, for fear that those feelings would show a hint of it.
It seems that as long as she touches his heart a little, she will lose everything, like a poor and pathetic coward.
But this unexpected aphrodisiac completely tore apart Ye Tanhuai's worries and disguises, making her have to face the thirst in her heart.
Yes, it's true that she hated him, but it's also true that she was moved by him.
It is true that he was a nightmare when she dreamed back in the middle of the night, but that could not deny the days when he warmed her, those days when he brightened her.
Those shining days have always warmed her heart, and it is her strength to walk alone in this sinister world.
Zhou Shouyi, who was guarding the emperor's side, suddenly felt the clamping power on his wrist loosen.
He saw a relieved smile on Ye Qianhuai's lips, and then, a tear slipped silently from the corner of her eye.
