Chapter 40: Heartache

Fortunately, the crossbow bolt didn't hurt the bones, but the poison of the arrow was not easy to solve.

When the drug was too bad, Su Su and Ling'er both came to serve, and Xiao Yuanmu also walked to the bed.

The blade sliced through the flesh of the arm, slicing away pieces of blackened skin. Rao is Lutang eats hemp and boils, and it still hurts to the bone marrow. Her pale lips were half-open, and she couldn't even scream.

There were no outsiders in the room, Xiao Yuanmu no longer had the expression of arguing with others, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Although he is a battle-hardened person, he can't help but change his face when he looks at the delicate and helpless Lutang and the blood on the couch.

"Second Miss, during the Three Kingdoms, Guan Wangye's bones were just like that."

Ling'er was already crying in fright, and Su Su still insisted on telling jokes, trying to help Lutang distract and relieve the pain.

The poisonous blood was exhausted, the carrion was cut off, and the gold sore medicine and antidote ointment were applied externally, and the imperial doctor wrapped Lutang's arm layer by layer.

"How's it toxic?" Xiao Yuanmu's voice was a little vibrato.

"Miss Wen Er has already taken snake gall bladder, so it's out of the way."

It is said that famous doctors do not treat themselves, but Lutang understands his injuries very clearly.

In his previous life, Xiao Yuanmu's arrow poison was a strange poison in the world, so that he suffered from pain all his life. Today, the arrows are nothing more than snake medicine commonly used by northern hunters to deal with wild beasts, and the two are completely different.

Won't it be a dead soldier who stabbed and showed mercy to his subordinates?

The blood stains all over his body were not cleaned, and he was sweating because of the severe pain, and the blood and sweat stained his dress, and the smell of blood was extremely strong. Her thoughts were tumbling in her head, and she was so painful and greasy that she had no clue for a while.

"Scrub your young lady."

Xiao Yuanmu came over to take a look and stroked the wet forehead hair of Lutang.

Unlike the previous nonsense, his fingers seemed to be touching fragile flowers and plants, and he wanted to touch but didn't dare to touch them, as if he was afraid of hurting her.

Lutang was lying in the bed, losing half his life due to blood loss and pain, and he had the heart to ask him to come back and ask a few words, but he was soft and had no strength.

Xiao Yuanmu's eyes gradually deepened when he stared at her, and he quickly turned around and walked out of the flower hall.

"Just wipe the bloodstains, go back to the house and pack up and change clothes."

Su Su and Ling'er used a hand towel dipped in warm water to help her wipe the blood, and Lu Tang weakly commanded.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to go back to the house." Ling'er glanced out twice to make sure that no one heard, and then she pouted at Su Sunu.

Su Su sat on the edge of the couch and whispered: "I have just found out that the assassin is hiding on the corridor directly opposite the stage, but the person has disappeared, and only got a bow and crossbow with the mark of the forbidden army on it. There are two battalions of the forbidden army outside the palace of the king of Qi, which were personally arranged by the Hou Ye. With so many guards able to let the assassins go, His Royal Highness King Qi scolded Hou Ye for being the mastermind behind the scenes, and the lawsuit had to be fought in front of the emperor. ”

"His Royal Highness King Qi just said that he would take the young lady as a hostage in the palace, when will the Hou Ye make it clear, when will the young lady be released."

If it weren't for the severe pain in his shoulder, Lu Tang would have laughed out loud.

With the forbidden army's crossbow arrows in his hand, I'm afraid that Wen Hou won't be able to tell it in his life!

It is a matter of assassinating the prince, and once the lawsuit reaches the front of the emperor, the forbidden army must thoroughly investigate all the personnel and weapons under its name. There are more than 50 officers and soldiers among the more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, and they may be able to be confused in peacetime, but Xiao Yuanmu already has a list in his hand, and he will not slip through the net if he names one of them.

The dead don't know each other, and they usually do some tricks alone, and they may be able to repay each other with their lives after being caught. If fifty people are taken prisoner together, someone will confess!

"The slave maid thought, after this experience, our Hou Mansion is afraid that it will hurt our muscles and bones. His Royal Highness King Qi left Miss here, perhaps with the intention of preservation. ”

Ling'er changed the dirty water, gently cut off her blood-stained clothes, and said softly.

"Hey, Ling'er is smart today! I also need you to say, our young lady is the person on the tip of King Qi's heart! Su Su spoke with a smug expression.

Outside the room, the maid of the palace soon entered the door with a brand-new dress, saying that it was ordered by His Royal Highness to be sent for the second lady to replace. The clothes were all newly made just in time, probably to take care of her bedridden injuries, so they were all loose and comfortable.

The maids got up with her in their arms, helped her put on her new clothes, and changed the embroidered mattress soaked in sweat and blood.

It was already getting dark outside, and the feast of the Qi Palace's mansion had already dispersed, and the guests came and returned with excitement, most of them were frightened.

Lights and candles were lit in the flower hall, and the maid of the Qi Wangfu held soup porridge and side dishes, and invited Lutang to dinner.

"Sister maid, could I please send a message to His Highness?"

The maid of the Qi Palace's mansion was respectful and polite, and hurriedly curtled her knees and smiled: "Where can the slave and maid be worthy of a second lady's invitation?" The second lady commanded. ”

"The one who wounded me with a crossbow, please don't punish your highness too much."

The maid who knelt on the knee was obviously stunned, but quickly recovered her expression and indifferently agreed to get up and go.

Ling'er and Su Su gathered around the couch in shock, grinning with their mouths bared their teeth.

"Then the assassin had no intention of hurting Miss, and he also had the intention of assassinating His Highness! If you want to rely on the slave and maid, you can't wait to divide his five horses! ”

Lu Tang endured the pain and held the spoon with his left hand and sipped the fragrant glutinous rice porridge in his mouth.

How could the assassin prince use the weapons of the forbidden army? Wen Hou and others, what kind of poison can't be obtained when they see blood and seal their throats, how can they use ordinary snake venom?

This must be Xiao Yuanmu's own play, the only failure is that the eldest princess took Lutang to suddenly toast during the sword dance!

If there was no green tang, this arrow would have shot Xiao Yuanmu's shoulder and arm, so he already had snake gall antidote in his mouth to prevent poisoning from being too deep.

It is speculated that the escaped "assassin" must be his confidant, otherwise how could he be so trusting to let him shoot himself with a poisoned arrow?

Maybe they had already agreed on the time, and when the tension was raging, Lu Tang followed the eldest princess to toast, blocking Xiao Yuanmu's body.

The incident happened suddenly, the poisoned arrow shot the wrong person, and with Xiao Yuanmu's violent temper, he was afraid that he was going to anger the "assassin" archer.

Xiao Yuanmu died because of her in the previous life, and in this life, she blocked an arrow for him, which can be regarded as repaying his old feelings.

Lutang was sore and tired, his forehead was beating and aching, so he had to let Su Su mix a decoction of pain-relieving and hypnotic medicine and drink it, "I'm so tired, I want to sleep first, you guys should rest early." ”

Without waiting for the maid to reply, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, the moon rises in the middle of the night, and the night breeze blows the tent in front of the bed.

The forehead and cheeks were slightly itchy, and she wanted to wipe it with her hand, gently moving to pull the wound painfully. Flesh and blood, she moaned in her dream.

"Don't move, it's the king."

Xiao Yuanmu's voice was low and sad, he sat in front of the couch and leaned over, kissing Lutang's cheeks and eyebrows.

"I'm sorry to hurt you. The king will not punish those who shoot crossbows, and this is the king's sin. ”

He whispered, every word steaming, blowing in Lutang's ear, like a furry creature, down his earlobe and neck, and sent to his heart.

"Since His Highness is guilty, why is he still rude to his courtiers?"

After sleeping in the middle of the night, the medicinal properties of hemp boiling powder have passed, and Lutang's shoulders and arms began to hurt again. A thin layer of sweat oozed from the sideburns on his forehead, and his hair and jade pillow were wet.

In the dark night, cicadas occasionally chirp and dogs bark, which seems to be silent. Lu Tang was about to push Xiao Yuanmu's body away, but he heard a tiger roar in his ears. Although the sound was far away, it shook the heavens and the earth, and there was no sound in all directions.

"Your Highness's tiger?"

Lu Tang's eyes were half-closed, her eyelashes were beating like butterflies in the shadow of the moon, and a few tears were moistened, she was sleepy and painful, and her eyes were hazy with tears.

Xiao Yuanmu remembered the scene at the banquet again.

The Wen family was invited, and he arranged it in advance. When preparations arose, he took the opportunity to detain the Wen family's family members and protect Lutang in the mansion in advance.

The only thing that was not in the plan was that on the day of her birthday, Xiao Yuanzhen, the little sister who had never been out of the palace, suddenly arrived. The eldest princess must take a high seat, so that the two positions on the original high platform have to sit three people.

On the opposite side of the corridor, playing the role of the fake assassin crossbowman is Zhang Zhou, the general of the Qi Wangfulang, who is a one-in-a-million marksman, and it doesn't hurt to be crowded in the seats.

Zhang Zhou once toasted Lutang in the Qi Palace, and knew that this beautiful girl was the confidant of his lord.

As soon as the agreed sword dance sounded, Xiao Yuanzhen suddenly pulled Lutang to sit together. When the bow and crossbow were opened, they were about to raise their glasses to toast. There was no turning back from the bow, and the crossbow arrows were shot, and there was no room for recovery.

"This king's tiger probably smelled your blood and made a fuss for half the night."

Xiao Yuanmu's forehead pressed against her clammy sideburns, and every word she spit out trembled.

"When the arrow is laid against you, the king's heart will be empty. I'm afraid I'll shoot you little crazy girl to death. ”

His body is so hot, even the breath he blows out is warm. Lutang lost too much blood today, and even the sweat oozing from his skin was cold.

"Isn't Your Highness's heart good here?"

She exhaled and put her good hand against Xiao Yuanmu's chest, wanting to remind him not to be rude.

Xiao Yuanmu clenched her hand, as if she was about to burn her delicate and slender fingers. With this force, he undoubtedly imprinted his lips on Lu Tang's lips, and did not allow her to speak again.

Ten fingers connected to the heart, the heat of the fingertips quickly burned into the heart, the tip of Lutang's heart trembled slightly, and the tip of his tongue stretched out involuntarily, giving him a little moistness and sweetness between his dry and hot lips.

His Adam's apple rolled, as if he had swallowed a green fruit, and let out a muffled low pant from his heart to his throat, and the sound was like a tiger's roar.

"Is it sweet?"

Lu Tang's soft and cold lips pressed against him, and his voice was like a mosquito's chirp. Xiao Yuanmu couldn't help such teasing, like hot oil frying his heart, he couldn't bear the lust in his heart, and his whole body was so hard that it hurt.

"Crazy girl, this is the king's mansion, if the king does anything in the dark, can you escape?"

His words sounded like a threat to Lutang, but his tone seemed to be threatening himself.

"His Royal Highness injured his courtiers by mistake, and His Highness is also guilty, and the courtiers should punish His Highness well." Lu Tang pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes were as tired as a cat, "The courtiers want Your Highness to suffer from burning herself with fire and boiling water." ”

A soft little hand wrapped around Xiao Yuanmu's neck, and the tip of his light and moist tongue fed into his dry mouth.

At this moment, he was possessed by a hungry and thirsty tiger, leaned over and grabbed Lutang's lips, and drank sweet springs.

In the red silk soft couch, a low tiger roar also sounded.
