Chapter 69: Awakening and Self-Blame
On July 29th, the summer was scorching, and the day was very vicious in the morning, and yesterday was the eighth day, and it was the day when she should enter the palace and accompany Emperor Qi to paint. After these few edicts, Luo Li felt that the emperor's life was too good, and every day was to walk around the garden, drink tea and paint, play chess and listen to music, all of which were things like dogs and horses.
As for what Qi Muxiao explained to her, because she had just entered the palace, she didn't dare to act rashly, and everything was waiting for the opportunity to move, but there were a lot of silver and property scattered in the past few times, and the people on the road to the palace were basically more familiar.
Luo Li doesn't treat herself as a woman, and those people don't treat Luo Li as a woman, she has always dressed up as a man, and she is arrogant, and now the guards, eunuchs, and palace maids who often walk the road when they enter the palace, there is no one who is not familiar with her. The guards had even called her brother and sister, and had made an appointment to drink with her during the holidays.
After she came back from the palace last night, she practiced hard all night, and it happened to be a break, and she slept until she woke up at noon in the chrysanthemum garden.
At this time, she was lying on the bed in a thin dress, crossing Erlang's legs, emptying herself.
Yuan Qin had already come to change the ice in the ice bucket a few times, and she saw that although Xiao Li woke up, she had no intention of getting up at all, so she retreated.
Luo Li hadn't seen Qi Muxiao for more than ten days, and after borrowing her bed that day, this guy disappeared without saying hello. On the nineteenth, she learned from Lou Xiaoyun's mouth that Qi Muxiao took Qi Tongtong to Huizhou to handle the case, saying that Huizhou Qi Tongtong's mother Yin Defei clan had been repeatedly poisoned, and Emperor Qi specially assigned him to investigate it personally.
This time he said goodbye, she felt a little awkward in her heart, and it seemed to be more of a sense of loss. But for the sake of the treasure bed, Luo Li decided to forgive him.
Luo Li played with the cold soul jade in her hand, this stone has been cold since she went to the ice cellar, but it is okay, now there is an additional function to cool off.
"Sister Luo!" Lou Xiaoyun's delicate voice came from outside, her voice was urgent, and after a while, she broke through the door and said breathlessly, "Sister...... Sister Pei Ying woke up......"
!!!
Luo Li sat up suddenly, casually draped a coat from the hanger, tied it briefly, and pulled Lou Xiaoyun to run towards Meiyuan. When she arrived, she saw that there was already a familiar back in the house, "Second Senior Brother!" Luo Li saw that there was no one else, so he called him directly.
"Quietly, the patient has just rested. Su Xian was administering the needle, and when Luo Li heard it, he didn't dare to gasp when he stood at the door, for fear that he would be able to make something happen if he gasped.
Lou Xiaoyun was panting next to her, and let Luo Li drag her all the way over, and her clothes were a little untidy. The two stood in the doorway, looking in, and a moment later, Su Xian got up and came out and closed the door.
"Second Senior Brother, isn't Sister Pei Ying awake, what's the situation now?"
Su Xian's expression was serious, and he hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss Pei is awake, but she fainted again." ”
Luo Li and Lou Xiaoyun were shocked, "Why?"
Su Xian sighed: "Maybe she found that she couldn't move her right arm......"
Luo Li was stunned and asked excitedly, "Can't move, why can't you move?"
"As I said before, Miss Pei is extremely injured, it would be good to be able to pick up a life, she is not a cultivator, but she was injured by the true qi of a master of the Seven Realms, and she lost too much blood, plus this person was extremely ruthless, and deliberately cut off all the meridians of her right arm with her true qi, and now it is the best result to waste an arm, and I was worried that she would not wake up before...... Now, the other injuries are fine, only the arms are ......."
Before Luo Li could finish listening to him, tears couldn't stop falling, and Lou Xiaoyun was also crying on the side.
Luo Li grabbed his cuffs tightly and said with a crying voice: "But Senior Brother, you are a dignified medical immortal! Where is there a disease that you can't cure, the third senior brother has also been injured by True Qi before, aren't you cured?"
Su Xian saw that the two of them were sad, he raised his hand to comfort Luo Li, "Xiao Min's injury is different from Miss Pei, Xiao Min is injured in a competition with others, but Miss Pei's injury was deliberately done by that person, I just tried it, and her right arm didn't react at all, even if the master is here, I'm afraid it can't do anything." ”
When Luo Li heard this, he fell to his knees and cried, and the people in the other houses in the courtyard heard the sound and came out to take a look.
After many days of worrying about finally coming true, Luo Li was at a loss for what to do, crying and asking: "Senior brother, what should I do!" Senior brother, Xiao Wu begs you, please think of a way again, she is still so young...... It's because of the little five...... Because the Little May Day can be ...... Woo woo...... she couldn't stop crying, and her heart was full of remorse.
Lou Xiaoyun stood aside, crying silently, she was with Su Xian every day, so she naturally knew Pei Ying's real injury. She looked at Luo Li so sad, and suddenly understood why Brother Mu Xiao asked them to hide the news of the death and injury in the palace.
Su Xian knelt on one knee, gently patted Luo Li on the back, and softly reassured, "Okay...... Don't cry anymore...... Primary 5 ......"
It was the first time he had seen Luo Li crying like this, the little overlord who was not afraid of heaven and earth on weekdays actually valued friendship the most, and Pei Ying's scar was afraid that it would accompany him for a lifetime.
I don't know how long it took, Luo Li was tired of crying, and he was still sobbing from time to time, but Su Xian still patted gently and comforted him.
Su Xian gave Lou Xiaoyun a look, Lou Xiaoyun understood, squatted down to help her up, and comforted her. Luo Li got up and said that she wanted to go back to Juyuan, Lou Xiaoyun was not at ease and sent her all the way back, but Luo Li also sat in a sluggish place after returning to the house, lifeless.
Lou Xiaoyun looked uncomfortable and asked Yuan Qin to prepare some food.
Luo Li waved his hand weakly and said, "No need, you all go out, I want to stay alone." ”
"Sister Luo......"
"Xiao Li ......"
"All out. Luo Li shouted, and the two of them saw this, so they had no choice but to retreat.
After Lou Xiaoyun went back, she told Su Xian about Luo Li's situation, and when he heard this, his brows furrowed.
"Brother Xian, is there really no way to Sister Pei's arm?" Lou Xiaoyun was unwilling, but still asked.
Su Xian sighed, "There is a way, but you can't let Xiao Wu know about it......"
Hope rekindled in Lou Xiaoyun's eyes, and she hurriedly asked, "What way?"
"When I was traveling in Yuzhou, I happened to meet a worldly master, who had injured his right leg, and the situation was similar to that of Miss Pei. She cut off her old limbs herself, smeared fire salamander essence on the severed legs, and then retreated for a whole week on the cold ice jade bed to allow the new legs to grow. ”
Su Xian sighed, paused for a moment and continued: "But this method is useless, first, the fire salamander essence and the ice jade bed of the most yin and cold are extremely difficult to find. Second, even if she finds it, Miss Pei is not a monk, and she can't stand the pain of the fire salamander's burning heart. The fire salamander essence is an extremely yang thing, if it is not protected by an extremely yin thing like the ice jade bed, ordinary people will burst and burn up and die if they use the fire salamander essence directly. As far as I know, when the master of the world used this method, he was already clear in the Six Realms, and it was impossible for ordinary people to cultivate to this realm for twenty or thirty years, so this method is the same as not, if Xiao Wu knows, her temperament, no matter whether this method can be used or not, will definitely venture to find the fire salamander in the secluded cave of the Red Plains in Yuzhou......"
"Okay, don't worry, Brother Xian, Xiaoyun won't talk nonsense. Lou Xiaoyun nodded, she trusted Su Xian very much, and knew that Su Xian would give Pei Ying a try without reservation if there was a method that could be used, but the method of fire salamander essence really didn't work here in Pei Ying.
"You find someone to take a good look at Miss Pei, now that her eldest brother is not here, stabilizing her mind is the most important thing, the hour is not early, I am going to Wufu to decoct medicine." ”
"Okay, what about Sister Luo?" Lou Xiaoyun was still worried about Luo Li, she had never seen Luo Li so sad, a woman who was so smug on weekdays, was sad today.
Su Xian shook his head, "Xiao Wu's girl, she will be fine, she is a person who has experienced storms...... I will also contact the head of the medicine department again to see if there is another way. Su Xian instructed Lou Xiaoyun a few words and left.
Ju Yuan is now a chicken flying and a dog jumping, Luo Li is practicing swords in the courtyard like crazy, she uses her fingers as swords, and practices the moves on the Guiyuan sword book over and over again. Yuan Qin was anxious to see from a distance, and when she saw her, she was like crazy, and under this scorching sun, she was soaking wet.
She was anxious to find the young lady, but Luo Li had instructed not to let outsiders enter the garden.
It was getting dark, and Luo Li was leaning against the locust tree in the courtyard, her clothes were already soaked, sticking to her, and the ground was covered with white spots of dry sweat.
Luo Li blushed, his face was full of moisture, and he couldn't tell whether it was sweat or tears.
After a long time, she instructed Yuan Qin to bathe, and after bathing her, she changed into clean clothes, and after a simple two-bite meal, she turned off the lights and said that she wanted to rest. Yuan Qin knew that she was uncomfortable, so she retreated without saying anything.
From that day on, Luo Li went to the ice cellar to cultivate from after dark until the next morning. During the day, she practiced swords first in the morning, then went to the calligraphy and painting academy, and went to see Pei Ying first after returning from the calligraphy and painting academy in the afternoon, and so on.
Pei Ying would be awake for a few hours every day at noon, Lou Xiaoyun took good care of her, and since that day, Pei Ying has never expressed her sadness, but just asked about what happened recently.
Luo Li didn't dare to look at Pei Ying when she woke up, and sometimes when she went, Pei Ying hadn't rested yet, she just stood at the door, listening to the conversation of the people inside.
Guilt, self-blame, all the time reminding Luo Li of his weakness and arrogance.
At this time, she had made up her mind to embark on the path of monasticism.
