Chapter 3: The First Assassination

At night, the heavy cold wets the skirt, but it can't slow down people's footsteps.

Ru Song followed closely behind the palace people, his head was lowered, his steps were hurried, and his expression had remained as indifferent as possible, but his eyes were still a little more complicated.

As soon as he approached the door, he saw that the lights inside were bright, and the palace people were in a hurry, the voice of the palace people in charge, the sound of the little palace maids' panicked steps, the sound of pouring water in the copper basin and changing the water, and the sound of decoction of medicine were noisy and mixed together.

Ru Song frowned, and the moment the palace people opened the door in front of him, with just one glance, he saw the dying curls lying on the bed.

She was dressed in white and plain yarn, one hand hung weakly on the side of the bed, her lips were white, and although there were beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, she still bit her lip, shivering vigorously and crying cold.

The doctors were helpless, but grabbed some antipyretic medicine, because the princess's symptoms were strange, and no one knew what it was, let alone cure.

A gust of cold wind blew in his face, blowing a white curtain, Xin Yi raised his hand and beckoned to the door with difficulty.

The palace people hurriedly took Ru Song to the bedside, and beckoned the people around him to leave quickly.

There were a few slow hands and feet, and Xin Yi was furious: "What are you doing slowly? Don't get out of here! Lonely today as long as Song is alone! ”

The people in the palace scattered, such as Song alone, stepped forward, stretched out his hand, stroked his forehead, and it was really hot.

Xin Yi grabbed Ru Song's hand and looked at her pitifully, tears soaked her eyes, and her long eyelashes cast shadows on her eyes.

"Damn, it's unbearable to die alone! Such as Song ...... You're going to sleep with Lonely......"

Ru Song swallowed her saliva and wanted to retract her hand, but this hand was held tightly by Xin Yi, she had to compromise, and straightened the sweat-soaked hair around her ears.

Although the child was sick, her stubborn temperament refused to give in at all, and she jerked at the hem of Song's clothes, and dragged her down alive and fell close to her cheeks.

Outside the curtain, a vague figure just wanted to take a step forward, and finally stopped his impulse, but said with concern:

"Girl, the princess is seriously ill, and it would be good if she could sleep in peace. Medicinal Stone ...... I can't pour it anymore. ”

The one who spoke was Chuncheng, a female medical officer who had taken care of the princess since childhood, and now she is more than forty years old, with a soft and rigid temperament, and she is quite prestigious in the palace.

For example, Song pursed her lips, thinking that she was a daughter at the moment, so she lay down meekly, that hand was still in Xin Yi's hand, she had to hold Xin Yi's whole person in her arms, and use her neck to feel the temperature of her forehead at all times.

Seeing that the two of them were asleep, Chuncheng led the last medical officer and palace maid to withdraw with full of worry, and when the last candle was blown out, the dormitory was suddenly dark.

In this deep dark night, only the restless heartbeats of two people could be heard, again and again, sometimes as thick as a bell, sometimes as silent as falling into the deep sea.

The curling breathing weakened, and the hot breath from her nose fluttered into Ru Song's collar, scratching her a little.

She swallowed, closed her eyes, and began to retrace her first meeting with the princess, her encounter, her acquaintance, until now she wrapped her tiny body in her own.

Princess, I'm sorry, I've been dormant for many years just for this moment, and the revenge of killing my father must be avenged!

Si Bi, such as Song's hand slightly hard, aimed at the Yin Yu acupoint and the Eagle Window acupoint, and gave a heavy blow.

The strength of the person in his arms suddenly became light.

"Twist," Ru Song's voice was hoarse, and she said with difficulty, "if it's really painful, bite my wrist." ”

She exposed her wrist and put it under her curling lips, but she was like a young beast that had been trapped for a long time, breaking through the shackles of her wrist and biting straight into her collarbone.

Because of the fever, her cheeks and lips were hot, her breath was hot, and her teeth were no longer so strong, although she was exerting force, they were only softly stuck on Rusong's collarbone.

Ru Song closed his eyes and wrapped the person in his arms tighter.

The night was bleak, and the light of the moon was also permeated with coldness, and when the light entered the house, it was reflected on the princess's petite and pale face, and her expression was already very calm, like a sleeping doll.

The heartbeat of two people finally became only one person's solo.

Ru Song didn't speak, didn't move, and didn't open her eyes, she seemed to ignore all this, and still closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Tomorrow, maybe it will take a while, and then, he will leave the palace, go on foot, and never ask about the world again.

The night was too long, and when the first rays of the morning sun fell on the princess's mansion, Ru Song pulled his hand from his stiff bosom, got up, and got out of bed alone, he was going out to announce to the people something they could not afford.

"Who are you?"

A childish voice behind him was like thunder, exploding his vision. Ru Song turned his head suddenly, but saw him frowning and looking at him, as if he was reproaching an uninvited guest.

She...... Not dead?

But then, if Song didn't have time to wonder, let alone know what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd at the moment, she had to salute respectfully:

"Like Song."

Hearing the movement of the people inside, the palace people outside the door were ecstatic, and Chuncheng had not slept all night, at this moment he was eagerly and briskly patting the door, his cheek was close to the threshold, and he couldn't hide his joy and asked, "Princess, princess, are you better?" ”

She came down groggily, she didn't even wear shoes, she walked much differently than before, she scratched her hair, went to the table and drank a glass of water, her sleepy eyes were open, and she didn't pay attention to the sounds outside.

He obviously felt that her heartbeat had stopped, could it really be that someone had the art of bringing the dead back to life?

Ru Song stepped forward, bowed his head and said respectfully: "Princess, please let Ru Song check your pulse and body." ”

She nodded, casually holding out an arm and handing it to her.

Check the pulse, it is no different from ordinary people, such as Song stretched out his hand and gently put it on her chest, her heartbeat is the same, and even Kang Jian is better than before. What went wrong?

Confused, Chuncheng shouted outside again: "Princess, please let Weichen check your body for you!" ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw a door in front of him suddenly open wide. Xin Yi looked at the group of medical officers in front of him with a confused expression, and turned around and sat back on the bed a little sluggishly.

Chuncheng and his party immediately came in with a medicine box, and in an instant, the people who took the pulse checked the pulse, and the people who checked checked it, and a large group of doctors surrounded them.

After a while, Chuncheng looked happy, and she was overjoyed: "The princess's body is better than before!" ”

As he spoke, he turned around and bowed to Ru Song, and when he got up, there were faint tears in his eyes: "Thanks to Miss Ru Song, Miss Ru Song is really Zhilan Yushu!" ”

Before the words fell, a sound was heard outside the door.

The monarch strode over, and with a wave of his hand, he dispensed with everyone's courtesies and asked Chuncheng directly:

"How's the princess's body?"

Chuncheng knelt on the ground, kowtowed first, and then couldn't hide his joy: "Back to the saint, the princess is no longer in trouble, and even her health is better than before!" After the princess woke up this time, her mood was clear, better than last time, it can be seen that the princess has been in contact with holy and noble people recently! ”

The monarch looked relieved, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Ru Song standing on the side, and said happily: "I heard that you have been accompanying the princess these days?" ”

Ru Song knelt on the ground: "Yes." ”

The monarch's eyes signaled, and the doctors and palace people retreated one after another, leaving only one Spring City standing on his side, and Xin Yi also left surrounded by the palace people.

Chuncheng said happily: "Your Majesty, last night, it was also this girl who accompanied the princess. ”

The monarch slowly walked up to Ru Song and said indifferently:

"Xin Yi has urinated less than ordinary people since she was a child, lonely and sensitive, her body is weak, and the widow has sought medical treatment from immortals, saying that only by staying with the purest and most good things can she replenish her soul, otherwise she will be eaten by evil spirits. As the saying goes, a thought arises, becomes a god, and a thought is extinguished, and it becomes a demon. The widow knew that human nature was sinister, so he asked her to be the companion of the spirit animal, which showed that the effect was very slow...... With you today, I hope you can cross her, so it is not difficult to divide half of the rivers and mountains with your Excellency. ”
