Chapter 33: Exchanging Blood Exhaustion
Jiang Duanchen angrily rushed straight into the Fengming Palace, and the guards guarding the door saw Jiang Duanchen's posture and picked up their weapons to stop him.
"Get out of here." Jiang Duanchen roared sharply, and slashed at the guards who were blocking the road with one palm, and the surrounding guards also attacked him when they saw this, Jiang Duanchen did not show weakness, and fought with them with his bare hands.
He snatched the sword of one of the leading guards, grabbed his wrist, put the sword against his neck and shouted, "I see who dares to step forward!" ”
Everyone looked at Jiang Duanchen's murderous face, and they all stayed in place and didn't dare to move easily.
"Chen'er, what are you going to do?" Nie Yunhua was late and motioned for everyone to retreat. Jiang Duanchen pushed away the leading guard with one palm, threw his sword on the ground, and stared at Nie Yunhua.
He took out the fine satin in his sleeve and asked Nie Yunhua, "Can the queen recognize this?"
Nie Yunhua's words flickered, and Jiang Duanchen snorted coldly, "On the hunting ground, the black eagle attacked Su Ling when he heard the whistle, and I found this on its corpse, Niangniang, you'd better give me an explanation." ”
Nie Yunhua saw the silk and sneered: "Just such a gadget, you dare to trespass into the Fengming Hall and question the mourning family?" ”
"I really can't think of anyone else who would do this to a new face that I've never seen before." Jiang Duanchen looked at her coldly.
Nie Yunhua glared at him, his voice slightly angry, "I can't imagine that girl's position in your heart is already so important, then I must not let her go." You were raised by the mourning family, and the mourning family did not allow you to ruin your future for such an animal. ”
"Su Ling is not an animal, and the minister's future does not need to be dictated." Jiang Duanchen threatened: "If Niangniang still refuses to stop, then the minister will inform Your Majesty of Niangniang's plan." ”
"You dare!" Nie Yunhua's face turned purple.
Jiang Duanchen's face was gloomy, he walked in front of Nie Yunhua, leaned over and said in her ear: "Niangniang, I said that Su Ling is my life, and I am not allowed to touch her." Otherwise, don't blame the minister for ignoring your careful cultivation. ”
His index finger slid from behind Nie Yunhua's ear to her neck, and his thumb pinched her thin throat hard. His eyes showed murderous intent, and his whole body exuded a cold coercion.
"Ahem, Jiang Duanchen!" Nie Yunhua was pinched and couldn't breathe, staring at Jiang Duanchen deadly.
Jiang Duanchen withdrew his hand, and his face returned to calm, "The minister still has something to do, so he will retreat first." ”
After Jiang Duanchen left, Nie Yunhua sat down on the ground, she never thought that one day she would be betrayed by the person she raised with her own hands.
"Hahahaha" Nie Yunhua let out a miserable laugh, then her face became distorted, her eyes were full of hatred, she gritted her teeth and said, "Jiang Duanchen, you will regret it one day." ”
The onlookers were frightened when they saw Nie Yunhua's appearance, and when Nie Yunhua turned his eyes to meet their gaze, the corners of his lips hooked up with a cruel smile.
Then there was the wailing of the maids in Fengming Palace, the sound of begging for mercy and the sound of whipping the flesh and skin.
After Xiao Yan returned to the palace, he came to Xiao Heng's Wuji Hall to check his injuries.
The imperial doctors went in and out of Xiao Heng's bedroom, and they were all anxious. Xiao Yan casually stopped a physician and asked, "How is the third brother?" ”
"Back to His Highness, the Third Highness was bitten by a wolf in the artery, and now he has lost too much blood, and Wei Chen has tried his best to rescue him, but he is ......" The Imperial Doctor wanted to speak and stopped.
Xiao Yan's eyebrows furrowed, "Just what?"
"We still lack a taste of medicinal herbs." The Imperial Doctor's face was embarrassed. Xiao Yan said anxiously: "Are there any medicinal materials in the imperial city that can't be found?" Whatever is missing, I'll look for it. ”
The imperial physician was embarrassed and said: "There is no shortage in the imperial city, I heard that the queen mother has it, and it is called blood exhaustion." Because it is produced in a remote area of South Vietnam, it is extremely rare in the market. When the mother entered the palace, she should have brought a few pieces of ...... as a dowry."
Although he knew that blood exhaustion could save Xiao Heng's life, no one in the court knew that it was a special period, and the relationship between His Royal Highness and the Third Highness was extremely tense, and those imperial doctors did not dare to offend the queen at this time.
Hearing that the queen mother had blood exhaustion, Xiao Yan immediately promised: "You must try your best to save the life of the third brother, and I will ask the queen mother to have blood exhaustion." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness!" The imperial doctor hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.
When Xiao Yan came to Fengming Palace, Nie Yunhua changed into a kind look again.
"Yan'er, you haven't come to see the queen mother for a long time."
Xiao Yan said with a gentle face: "Doesn't the queen mother dislike her sons?" ”
Nie Yunhua was stunned, she didn't expect Xiao Yan to talk to her like this. Xiao Yan directly confessed the purpose of coming here this time, "The third brother is injured and needs your blood to save his life, please ask the queen mother to let her son take it to save him." ”
Nie Yunhua was slightly angry, "Do you know what you're talking about? Xiao Heng is in competition with you, you want to save him? ”
"If you use this method to win, you will not win." Xiao Yan still replied with a smile.
Nie Yunhua sighed, he really couldn't count on this waste son. "That's it, Huanxiang went to the mourning palace to bring the blood."
"Yes."
Nie Yunhua suddenly remembered that Su Ling should have been injured now, so she asked tentatively: "Yan'er, do you know that there is a handsome young man beside Xiao Heng." ”
Xiao Yanhu asked suspiciously, "What is the queen mother asking for?" ”
Nie Yunhua hooked his lips, it seems that the next person came to report that Su Ling's woman was dressed as a man.
"It's nothing, if you want to save Xiao Heng's life, you can, but the queen mother wants you to bring that young man over to the mourning family." Nie Yunhua's eyes flashed with coldness.
Xiao Yan sneered, "The queen mother is still the same, and there is no room for sand in her eyes." ”
Nie Yunhua's face turned pale, "It's good if you know." She recalled that when Xiao Yan was young, she had very high expectations for him and forced him to learn all kinds of things. As long as you can't complete the task, you are not allowed to eat.
One day, a grandmother took pity on him and secretly prepared food for him, but after Nie Yunhua found out, she died with a cane. Xiao Yan was angry with Nie Yunhua for this reason and stopped studying. He also set up a spiritual tablet for the grandmother to worship all day. Since then, all those who were close to Xiao Yan were imprisoned by Nie Yunhua.
She gave the young Xiao Yan a huge blow to his heart. Nie Yunhua told him that as her son, he was not allowed to have feelings, and he was the one who was going to take over the throne in the future, and he must study hard and not be stumped by love.
Although Xiao Yan began to obey Nie Yunhua's arrangement and began to work hard, he moved out of the Fengming Hall after he was married, and lived in Linfeng Pavilion, which was very close to the Library Pavilion, all day long, declaring that he wanted to concentrate on reading. Xiao Guangji also let him go, after all, which king doesn't love diligent and studious children.
On the day Xiao Yan left, Nie Yunhua once said to him ruthlessly, "If you step out of Fengming Hall today, the mourning family will not care about your son." ”
"Then don't care, anyway, the queen mother doesn't like me, in comparison, you prefer Jiang Duanchen who follows your heart." Xiao Yan said without looking back.
Nie Yunhua took a break from his memories and continued to ask, "How?" ”
Xiao Yan had also guessed that today's Black Eagle was sent by the Queen Mother, and he didn't know what Nie Yunhua wanted to do to that young man, but he must have been touched on her interests.
Now that Xiao Heng's life is in danger, he can't afford to think about it anymore, "Okay." ”
Huanxiang brought a red sandalwood box, and the blood was exhausted and contained in it.
Xiao Yan took the box and said to Nie Yunhua: "Queen Mother, that young man is still injured, let's bring it when he recovers." ”
Nie Yunhua's face was scorched, and his tone was resolute, "No, the mourning family is going to see someone tonight." ”
Xiao Yan looked at the strange Nie Yunhua in front of him, and a trace of loss flashed in his eyes, "Yes, Queen Mother." When did they get so unfamiliar with this, it was clear that it was his own, but he couldn't understand her.
Xiao Yan came to Xiao Heng's dormitory with blood exhaustion, and hurriedly handed over this thing to the imperial doctor.
"Great, great, Your Highness is saved." The imperial doctors thanked Xiao Yan one after another. Xiao Yan looked at the unconscious Xiao Heng gently, "Thank you, he is my younger brother after all." ”
Then he didn't hinder the doctors from healing, and turned around to find Su Ling.
He asked the next person about Su Ling's residence, but when he arrived at the dark green room, he didn't see Su Ling's figure. Confused, he walked out, just in time to see a maid carrying a medicine stove to the kitchen.
He followed, wanting her to ask about Su Ling's whereabouts.
This maid was walking anxiously, and she didn't notice Xiao Yan following her at all. Xiao Yan looked at her back and felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
As soon as the maid arrived in the kitchen, the servants greeted her, "Miss Su, just leave the matter of cooking medicine for Your Highness to the slaves and maids, you are Your Highness's honored guest, please go and rest." ”
The maid with her back to Xiao Yan shook her head slightly, "No, Your Highness is still unconscious, I have to do something for him." Imperial Physician Zhang just said that His Highness had found blood exhaustion, and His Highness was finally able to get out of danger. ”
Xiao Yan heard others call this maid "Miss Su", could it be Su Zisheng's sister?
Seeing that this maid was so stubborn, the others no longer stopped it.
Xiao Yan wanted to come forward and ask, but seeing that she was so focused, she was secretly observing. This woman is really very similar to Su Zisheng's figure, and she must be a dragon and phoenix fetus. Xiao Yan was far away, he didn't look carefully, and thought silently in his heart.
It was about two hours later before the maid got up and picked up the jade bowl and served the medicinal soup. Then he went to Xiao Heng's dormitory without stopping for a moment.
Xiao Yan followed her silently.
The maid arrived at the door of the dormitory, and the imperial physician Zhang Ji took the jade bowl, "Hard work Miss Su, you are still injured, go and rest, we can take care of His Highness here." ”
"Then there is Imperial Doctor Lao Zhang." After saluting him, the maid hesitated for a moment before leaving the dormitory.
Xiao Yan heard Imperial Physician Zhang say that she had injuries on her body, and immediately became curious.
He followed the maid to the room of Su Zisheng that the next person said, and Xiao Yan suddenly had an idea in his heart: Could it be that this Su girl is Su Zisheng?
In order to confirm his thoughts, Xiao Yan saw that there was no one around, so after Su Ling entered the room, he poked the window paper and looked in.
I saw the maid slowly take off her clothes and stretch out her injured arm, which was like the claws of an animal. He vaguely remembered that Su Zisheng was scratched by the black eagle and injured his arm.
It turns out that Su Zisheng is a daughter!
Xiao Yan was shocked. He walked quickly away from the room, and suddenly thought that Nie Yunhua wanted him to take Su Ling over to meet her. If this is the case, then she must have offended Nie Yunhua, and if she handed people over, she would definitely be tortured.
Xiao Yan left quietly, I don't know if it was selfishness or what, he decided not to hand over the person.
At least ask the reason, he admires this mysterious woman very much, and he doesn't want her to die in the hands of Nie Yunhua.
Su Ling was giving medicine to her injured arm in the room, she didn't want Dr. Zhang Ji to treat her, but Zhang Ji saw that no one was injured, and he didn't listen to persuasion, so he forcibly rolled up her sleeves, who expected that there was a Qianqianyu hand hidden under the sleeves of the thick men's clothes.
Zhang Ji hurriedly put down his sleeves and apologized to him in shame, "I'm sorry, the old man thinks you're a man." ”
Su Ling saw that his identity was recognized, and he also said frankly: "It's okay for Imperial Doctor Zhang, the little girl Su Ling, because of some special reasons, she can't show up as a woman, so please ask Imperial Doctor Zhang to look at the face of the Third Highness and hide it for the little girl." ”
Imperial Doctor Zhang has also been a doctor in the palace for decades, and he is used to seeing the helpless behavior in the palace, so he promised Su Ling to hide it for her, but the injury is so serious that he must be treated quickly.
Only then did Su Ling put his mind at ease and accept healing.
Jiang Duanchen also came to Xiao Heng's dormitory at this time, he wanted to go to find Su Ling, but he was bumped into by Xiao Yan who was walking towards him.
