Chapter 65: The Long Night
Helian closed his eyes tightly, as if pleading, and pressed his forehead against her shoulder, "This king will not! Nanyue, you must not have another accident......
But the person in her arms didn't seem to hear this, and she had already lost consciousness.
Xi Ming grabbed Si Nanyue's hand and sobbed helplessly, Helian was upset when she heard it, and just as she was about to let her retreat, the maid helped the trembling old doctor push the door in.
The old man has been practicing medicine for decades, and he has never seen any diseases, especially in this Xiaowang Mansion, he has seen more similar diseases, and he guesses in his heart, but this girl is weak, and I am afraid that it will be ...... Alas......
When Helian decided to carry the person to the bed, he stepped forward to check the pulse, and the result was exactly as he expected......
"Ahem, cough, cough......" The old doctor leaned over and coughed a few times, "Your Highness, the girl has a miscarriage."
"Miscarriage?!"
Not only Helian Duel, but even Xi Ming forgot to cry, her young lady didn't ...... a long time ago How can it be miscarriage?
Helian Jue's body stiffened, and he stared at the blood stains flowing from under Si Nanyue's body in astonishment, and all the words she had said just now came to her mind.
That's it...... That's it...... How could a smart person like her provoke him for no reason, she must have known that she was pregnant, and it was difficult to accept it for a while, so she would ......
He slammed his fist on the bed in annoyance, blaming himself for why he did it to her, why he didn't find out about her earlier!!
"Her body ......."
The old doctor sighed deeply, "Ah...... If the child in the girl's womb is another month or two older, I am afraid that there will be two deaths, and although the girl is fine now, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have children in the future......
The old doctor took the pulse and spoke, but suddenly paused for a moment, and then raised his voice, "Huh? This vein is not right......
The doctor seemed to be very surprised, he simply closed his eyes, and took his pulse wholeheartedly, his brows tightened more and more, and his face became worse and worse, and it took a long time to open his eyes, and he stammered, "Your Highness, Si ...... Miss Si ...... She'......"
Seeing the old man's expression was different, Helian Jue's heart became even more uneasy, "What's wrong with her, tell me quickly!!"
"Miss Si, I'm afraid she's ...... It's not long before you ......."
As soon as the old doctor's words came out, Helian Jue's whole person seemed to be immersed in a cold cave, the blood in his whole body was frozen, and even his body couldn't move.
After a while, he lifted the old man's collar violently, stared at the old man with bloodshot eyes, stared at the trembling old man, and asked in disbelief, "You just ...... What do you say??"
"Your Royal Highness......" The old doctor was so frightened that the six gods had no master, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The girl was seriously ill before, her body was too weak, and her pulse was weak and slow, although the slave suspected that there was a toxin accumulation in the girl's body, but he was not sure what the poison was...... Have you ever taken a poison called "The Long Night"?"
"Long Night ......"
Thousands of thoughts kept churning in Helian Duan's mind, he was no stranger to this poison, at that time his mother had not yet died, his father was also extremely fond of him, and he had also seen intrigue between women in the harem.
At that time, he was ignorant, only knowing that his father's poisoned favorite concubine was wailing, and streams of blood foamed from his mouth, staining the clothes on his chest.
He had never heard such a terrible sound, like the screams of a small beast being skinned alive, echoing through the silent palace, which lasted all night and gave him nightmares for months.
It wasn't until a long time later that he heard that the concubine had been poisoned by the "Long Night" that had no antidote.
"Looking at the girl's pulse, it should be the poison of the long night, but it can't live for one night in this poison, so the slave has always been suspicious......
The old doctor knelt and didn't dare to raise his head, he knew that this highness was moody, if he didn't say the right word, he might die......
However, the old man is really curious, he has lived all his life, and he has never seen a person who can still live after being poisoned by the long night, is there really an antidote to the long night, known as the "king of poison"?
How could Helian decide to pay attention to the old man at this time, as if he was seeking verification, his eyes were close to him
Tea next to it.
The little girl's eyes were already red from crying, and the expression on her face was equally surprised, she sobbed and said inarticulately, "I...... I've only heard the old lord say it, miss...... She had a serious illness when she was eight years old, and from ...... Since then, my body has not been as good as before......
With Ximing's words, he had the answer in his heart.
When Si Nanyue was eight years old, that is, twelve years ago, when Zelu City was in the midst of civil strife, Si Nanyue's grandfather suddenly fell seriously ill, and he died of illness overnight before he even had time to leave the edict.
All the princes are staring at the position of the city lord, among which the prince Si Fengqi is brave and ruthless, ambitious, he killed many siblings in order to get the position of the city lord, it is said that even the two-year-old child did not let go, Si Nanyue's poison may have been planted at that time......
Helian Jue overmeasured his head slightly, his golden eyes were filled with deep heartache, looking at her haggard appearance, his Adam's apple moved slightly, "It's Sheshaguo......
"That's right! The old man didn't think it was Sheshaguo!" The old man suddenly had an enlightenment, and even his voice was a little higher, but he soon realized his gaffe, and immediately coughed a few times to cover it up, "Ahem, Miss Si is a person who is very blessed, and she has obtained this rare holy fruit in a hundred years, but it is just ...... It's just ......."
The old doctor sighed, ugly words always have to be said first, "It's just that although Sheshaguo can come back to life, but the poison of the long night is difficult to get rid of, the girl's body will be so weak, if you take care of it, maybe ...... There is still three or five years to go, but the girl is thoughtful and depressed, she has been seriously ill before, and she has not yet recovered, and today she is ...... If it continues like this, I'm afraid it won't be able to survive a year and a half......
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Helian was determined to suddenly feel a pain in his mouth, unprecedented soreness and pain locked his heart, and all the previously suppressed emotions came back, as if all his internal organs were already bloody, and he clenched the clothes in his heart with a painful face.
Seeing that Helian Duel's expression was wrong, the old man was just about to persuade him to take care of his body, but when he heard a "poof", a large mouthful of blood gushed out of Helian Duel's mouth and splashed all over the ground.
"Your Highness!!"
The old man's legs and feet trembled with fright, and he was just about to take the pulse of Helian Duel, but he covered his heart and waved his hand, slowly sat on the edge of the bed, and a low and indistinguishable voice came out of his throat: "If you can save her once, you can save her a second time, and before this king finds the next Shesha fruit, you must save her life, otherwise, this king wants you to be buried with you!"
"Ah...... Yes......"
"Stand down......
Helian Jue leaned on the edge of the couch exhausted, as if he had aged dozens of years in a few days, and he did not see the demeanor of the old god of war at all.
After waiting for the room to be quiet, he slowly and tiredly opened his eyes, lowered his head slightly, and stared at Si Nanyue.
Her face was pale, fragile as a piece of porcelain that would shatter at the touch of a button, and even if she lost consciousness, there was still a sorrow between her eyebrows.
Helian Duel's eyes were full of remorse, he gently rubbed her bloodless face with his knuckles, let out a long sigh, and then took off the pendant chain around his neck and stuffed it into Si Nanyue's hand.
The wolf's fangs on the pendant were more than a finger long, and the texture was as clear as jade, and it was the first wolf that Helian had hunted in the frontier as an adult, a tradition in the red abyss and a rite of passage for men to grow up.
According to the legend of Chi Yuan, as long as you carry this wolf tooth with you, the wolf king Jira will bless him with safety.
Helian pressed his heart in severe pain, curled up beside Si Nanyue, his complexion showing a strange blue-gray, as if he was terminally ill.
Just like he guarded Ah Huan's body yesterday and prayed for the wolf king god to exchange his life for his life.
The pain in his body became more and more obvious, Helian decided to close his eyes tightly, I don't know if he was too tired these days, or he fainted directly, and when he woke up again, it was already the early morning of the next day.
He only felt a splitting headache and chills all over his body, and somehow, the old wound in his heart began to ache faintly, he opened his sour eyes, and Si Nanyue still hadn't woken up.
Looking at her sallow face, Helian Due's heart jumped for a moment, and he hurriedly tested her snort.
OK...... OK......
He immediately ordered someone to boil the medicine and fed it to Si Nanyue spoonful by spoonful, but she couldn't eat it at all, she was choked a few times, and began to talk
Nonsense.
"Don't kill him...... Please, don't kill him......
At first, she just muttered weakly, and then she didn't know what she dreamed about, her expression was painful, tears wet the hair around her ears, and her tone became higher.
"Star...... Xing'er ...... Brother, run away!!"
"Nanyue, Nanyue!"
Helian knew that she was trapped in a nightmare, but no matter how he called, she couldn't wake up, so he could only hold her tightly and see her in a fantasy and couldn't extricate herself.
The unbearable pain came from the old wound again, and the blood came up from the depths of the throat, but it was pressed down by Helian Decisive Life.
Now that Xiaowang's Mansion is in a mess, and the person in his arms has not woken up yet, how can he fall down first?
Helian decided to guard inside the house, and did not leave half a step outside the house, waiting for her young lady to wake up in the cold wind, and the little girl stayed outside all night and cried all night.
Not only was her eyes swollen and she couldn't open them, but she was shivering from the cold, she buried her head in her arms, shrugged her shoulders, and didn't even dare to cry.
The footsteps in the distance came from far to near, Xi Ming thought it was the maid who came to deliver breakfast, so she didn't look up, but who knew that the person's footsteps fell beside her, and there was no movement.
Then there was the sound of the clothes rubbing, the man bent down slightly, and draped the thick big coat on his body, and the familiar voice came to his ears, "Little crying bag, are you okay?"
"Dari Achi ......"
Xi Ming hurriedly raised her head, leaking a little crying face, like a homeless puppy found to rely on, she cried and threw herself into his snow-stained arms, hugged him tightly, and cried helplessly.
Dari Achi was stunned, he lowered his eyes, looked at the girl in his arms distressedly, patted her back gently, and comforted her like a child: "Don't be afraid, it'll be fine, everything will be fine......
