I thanked Gu Jian again and again, but he did not answer, but took out a medicine bottle from his arms and gave me: "You said Li Chengyin suffered a very serious trauma. This is the elixir for trauma. Go and use it for him."
I don’t understand why he is so kind suddenly, maybe the expression on my face is a little suspicious, he immediately sneered: "Why, afraid of me poisoning him? Then I'll be fine."
I quickly put the medicine bottle into my arms: "I will thank you after he is cured."
Gu Jian sneered and said: "Don't thank me, I'm not at ease. When you cure him, I will kill him with a sword. I never kill anyone who has no resistance at all, etc. He is healed, and it is time for him to die."
I made a grimace at him: "I know you won't. When his injury is healed, I will definitely invite you to drink."
Gu Jian didn't entangle me anymore, he flicked his long sleeves, turned around and left.
That being said, I still showed the bottle of medicine to the imperial doctor. They picked out the medicine and smelled it. They didn't know what it was, and they didn't dare to give it to Li Chengyin.
I hesitated for a long time, avoiding people, picking a little bit of the medicine and applying it to my arm, except for the cold, nothing else. I got up the next day and washed off the medicine. My skin was smooth and clean. I didn't see any problems. I feel relieved, this Gu Jian martial arts is so high, peerless experts always have some miracles, maybe this medicine is really good.
The next day, I quietly applied those medicines to Li Chengyin’s wounds while others were unprepared.
I don't know if it was the effect of these medicines, or the decoctions from the hospital finally became effective. Anyway, at dusk on the fourth day, Li Chengyin finally had a fever.
His fever subsided, everyone was greatly relieved, and I was also persuaded to go back to sleep.
I was awakened by Yong Niang not long after I slept. Yong Niang's expression was very frightened, and she said to me, "His Royal Highness's injury suddenly deteriorated."
I rushed to Li Chengyin's bedroom. There were already many people there. The eunuchs saw me coming and quickly gave way. I walked to the bed and saw Li Chengyin pale, short of breath, and a lot of yellow water seeping out of the wound. He was still unconscious. Although he did not have a fever, his breathing became weaker and weaker.
The imperial doctor said: "His Royal Highness was injured in the lungs. Now the evil wind is invading the veins, which is extremely dangerous."
I don't know if there is a problem with the wound medicine, but everyone in the temple panicked, and the emperor also sent people, but now the doctor is helpless and has no choice. Instead, I calmed down and sat on the footrest in front of the bed, holding Li Chengyin's hand. His hand was cold. I held his hand in my hand and warmed him with my body.
The doctors were still talking buzzingly there, and I ignored them. After late at night, there were fewer people in the temple, and Yong Niang gave me a cloak. At that time, I was lying in front of Li Chengyin's bed, looking at him without blinking.
How good-looking he looks. When I first saw Li Chengyin, I thought he was good-looking. The eyebrows are so black and thick, the nose is so stiff, and the face is as white as Hetian's jade. But Li Chengyin's whiteness is not like a girl, he is just white and gentle, not as rough as our men in Xiliang, he is like the water of the Central Plains, the mountains of the Central Plains, and the Shangjing of the Central Plains, with a gentle temperament.
I remembered one thing, so I said to Yong Niang: "Sell someone to release Zhao Liangdi, and let her see His Royal Highness."
Although Zhao Sese has been deposed as a commoner, I still used to call her Zhao Liangdi. Yongniang frowned and said to me embarrassedly: "Now there is such a big event in the palace, Zhao Shuren's affairs involve The queen...The slave and maid felt that if there is no will from your majesty, the princess shouldn't first..."
I rarely lost my temper and said to her, "Now Li Chengyin is hurt like this. He usually likes Zhao Liangdi the most. Why can't Zhao Liangdi come and see him? Besides, isn't Zhao Liangdi wronged? I was wronged, why can't she come to see Li Chengyin?"
Yongniang was used to my Li Chengyin and Li Chengyin's calling, but she was not accustomed to me acting like a princess in this matter, so she hesitated for a moment. I sternly expressed that there was no doubt, she immediately called someone to go.
Lost for many days, Zhao Liangdi has lost weight. She used to be a plump beauty, but now she is reduced, and because of her status as a commoner, she can only Jing Chai's clothes, and she looks more and more pitiful. She knelt down and bowed to me. I said to her: "His Royal Highness is very ill, so I asked you to come and see him."
Zhao Liangdi suddenly raised his head and looked at me, tears already in his eyes. When she cried like this, my throat couldn't help but became sore, and said: "Go in and see him, but don't cry."
Zhao Liangdi wiped his tears and whispered: "Yes."
She went in for a while, and knelt in front of Li Chengyin's sickbed. She was still crying. The crying made me feel annoyed. I came out and sat down on the steps outside the door, looking up at the sky.
The sky is like black velvet, covered with sour stars.
I feel pitiful, like a superfluous person.
At this time someone came over and saluted me: "Prince Princess."
The armor on his body makes a crisp sound, which is very nice. I actually don’t want to see anyone at this time, but Pei Zhao has saved me several times, so I can’t ignore him, so I have to smile a little: "General Pei."
"It was cold at night, and the princess did not sit on this vent."
It's quite cold. I wrapped the cloak around me and asked Pei Zhao: "Do you have a wife?"
Pei Zhao seemed to be slightly startled: "I haven't married a wife yet."
"You Central Plains, pay attention to what your parents say and what the matchmaker said. In fact, this is the worst. If we in Xiliang agree, we only need to lay down a pair of wild geese, wrap them in cloth, and send them to the girl’s house. It can be counted as a marriage proposal. As long as the girl wants, the parents must not stop it. General Pei, if you want to marry a wife in the future, you must marry someone you like. Otherwise, you will be sad and others will be sad too."
Pei Zhao remained silent.
I looked up at the stars and couldn't help but sighed: "I really want Xiliang."
Actually, I know myself, I don't want Xiliang, I am very sad. When I feel sad, I think about Xiliang.
Pei Zhao's tone is very gentle: "It's windy here, the princess should go back to the palace."
I was listless: "I don't want to go in, Zhao Liangdi is inside. If Li Chengyin is awake, he will not want me to run in and disturb them. Now he is unconscious, let Zhao Liangdi stay by his side for a while. If he knows, I’m afraid the injury will heal faster."
Pei Zhao stopped talking, he stepped back two steps sideways, and stood beside me. I was too lazy to talk to him anymore, so I held my chin and started to think wholeheartedly, if Li Chengyin gets better, knowing that Zhao Liangdi has been wronged, he will be very happy. At that time, Zhao Liangdi was able to restore Liangdi's identity, and in this East Palace, I became an annoying person again.
At least, Li Chengyin hates it.
I was so confused, I kept scribbling on the ground with the toe of my boot. I don’t know how long it took, Yong Niang came out and whispered to me: “It’s not good to let Zhao Shuren stay here for too long. The slave servant has ordered someone to send her back.”
I sighed.
Yongniang took a look at my mind and whispered in a whisper: "Princess, please don't worry, the servants and servants have been guarding your Royal Highness. Zhao Shuren didn't say anything, just crying."
I don't care what she said to Li Chengyin, because even if she didn't tell Li Chengyin, Li Chengyin liked her.
Pei Zhao bowed to me and saluted me: "At this very time, please take care of the princess."
I stood up lazily and said to him: "I will go in here."
Pei Zhao saluted me, and I turned around and walked towards the gate of the temple. At this moment, a gust of wind blew on me. It really felt very cold, but I didn't feel it just now. I suddenly remembered that just now because Pei Zhao happened to be standing on the vent, he blocked the wind for me.
I can't help but look back, Pei Zhao has already retreated down the stairs. He probably didn't expect me to look back, so he was looking at my back. I turned my head and met his eyes. His expression was a little uncomfortable, as if doing something wrong, he quickly looked away. Don't look at me.
I can't care about why Pei Zhao is so weird. As soon as I stepped into the temple and saw everyone frowning, I frowned.
Li Chengyin is still in a coma. The imperial doctor's words are very tactful, but I understand it too. If he stays in a coma, I'm afraid it will be really bad.
I don't know what to do. Li Chengyin's hand was resting on the brocade quilt, pale and almost bloodless. I touched his hand, it was still cold.
I’m too tired. I haven’t slept for almost a few days. I sat on the pedals and started talking to Li Chengyin. I hadn’t talked to Li Chengyin like this before. We just quarreled before. Up. When was the first time I saw him? It was the night of the wedding, he lifted my hijab, and the hijab covered me all night, and he was so suffocated.
As soon as the hijab was lifted, I just felt that my eyes lit up, and the candlelight was shining on all sides, shining on his face, his people. He was wearing a black robe with many delicate patterns embroidered on it.
In the past few months, I was urged by Yong Niang to memorize a book of "Rituals", knowing that it was Xuan Yi, Chang, and Nine Chapters. The five chapters are on clothing, dragon, mountain, Chinese insects, fire, and Zongyi; the four chapters are on clothes, algae, rice flour, 黼, and fu. Weaving becomes it. Single in white yarn, fluffy collar, blue, shackle, and shackle. Leather belt, golden hook Riwei, large belt, plain belt without Zhuli, and also with vermilion, used in New York. Fu is with clothes, fire and mountain are also chapters.
He wore the ceremony's Gongmian, white pearls and nine gazes, with the group as the ribbon, the color is like a ribbon, the green ribbon fills the ears, the rhino hairpin guides, the face is like a crown, and the appearance is elegant.
The prince of the Central Plains was so famous for his clothes. I remember that when I memorized the "Ritual", it took a long time to memorize this paragraph because I didn't recognize many words.
I think I liked him back then, but he didn't like me. Because after he lifted his hijab, he didn't even drink the wine, turned around and left.
Actually, I was relieved when he left, because I didn't know if I was accustomed to sleeping with a strange man.
Yong Niang accompanied me that night. She was afraid that I would be homesick and that I would be angry. She repeatedly explained to me that her highness must have a cold in the past few days because she was afraid of infecting her.
He has a cold for three years.
In the East Palace, I am lonely.
I have traveled here alone, although Adu is with me, but Adu can't speak. If Li Chengyin didn't quarrel with me, I think I would be more lonely.
Now he is dying, and all I am worried about is his goodness. I dig my mind and bring up all the previous things. I am afraid that if I don't tell him anything, if he is dead, I won't be able to tell him. I thought I had forgotten many things, but I didn't. I even remembered every word of the original quarrel, told him, and told him how angry I was at the time, so angry. But I pretended not to care. I knew that if I wanted to fight to win, only by pretending not to care, Li Chengyin would be choked out by me.
There is also the mandarin duck tie, how many people laugh at me, and the queen trains me.
I keep talking, and I don't know why I want to say it. Maybe it's because I'm afraid, maybe because I'm afraid that Li Chengyin is really dead. The night is so quiet, the candlelight in the distance is reflected on the tent, the inner temple is deep and wide, everything seems to be separated by layers, across the dark night, across the silent leak, only I mumbled there .
Actually, I am really afraid of being a little widow. In Xiliang, a woman who died of her husband wanted to marry her husband’s younger brother, like Princess Mingyuan who was married to Zhongyuan, who originally married my uncle, and later remarried to my father. Although Zhongyuan didn't have such rules, I couldn't stop shivering when I thought that Li Chengyin was going to die. If he died, I would be more sad than now. I quickly forced myself to stop thinking, and quickly forced myself to say those messy gossips.
Actually, I don’t hate Li Chengyin as much as I think. Although he always annoys me, we have had only a handful of private contacts in the past three years. Except for the trouble he made for Zhao Liangdi, we actually There are not many quarrels. Sometimes I don’t quarrel, I feel quite uncomfortable...
There is also copying. Although I hate copying books, I was fined for copying too many books. Now my Zhongyuan writing is getting better and better, all because of the penalty for copying. Those "Female Training" and "Female Commandments" were copied so that I was about to memorize them. There is one more thing I didn’t tell anyone, that is, there are many words in those books that I don’t know well, and I don’t know how to read them, but I follow the same pattern and describe it with a pen. No one knows me. Actually don't know that word.
Also, the word "Yin" by Li Chengyin is actually quite weird. When I saw it for the first time, I thought it was diligence... I never knew what this word meant. I heard that people in the Central Plains are very particular about names. How could he call this name?
"Yinzhou..."
I've been talking to myself for most of the night, and it's rare for someone to answer. I couldn't help but ask: "Huh? What Yinzhou?"
"The Taizu Emperor was originally named Yinzhou... the east of Zhongzhou, the south of Liangzhou... the land of Longxing... so... my name is Cheng Yin..."
I opened my mouth wide and looked at the dying man on the bed. His voice was very small, but his words were clear and his mind seemed very clear. Although his eyes were half-open and half-closed, he was looking at me.
I froze for a long time, and finally jumped up and shouted: "Ah!"
My voice must be terrible, because everyone hurried in. The imperial doctor thought that Li Chengyin's injury had worsened, and rushed up anxiously: "What's wrong with your Highness? What's wrong with Your Highness?"
I pointed at Li Chengyin, my tongue was almost knotted: "He...he..."
Li Chengyin lay there, looking at me blankly, the imperial doctor was already crying with joy: "His Royal Highness is awake! Your Highness is awake! Quickly send someone to the palace to report to your Majesty! His Royal Highness is awake..."
The whole East Palace is boiling, and everyone is energetic. The imperial doctor said that as long as Li Chengyin can wake up, his injuries will be fine. Now the people in the hospital are very happy, all of them are smiling, and the palace people are also running around and telling each other like the New Year. The imperial doctor asked for a pulse again, re-written the prescription, and walked around, buzzing like a colony of bees that were disturbed, making me want to sleep most of the night.
I don’t know when I fell asleep. I just remember that the imperial doctors seemed to be still talking buzzingly. When I woke up, I was lying on the edge of Li Chengyin’s bed, covered with a brocade quilt. . My legs have long been asleep and can’t move. Whenever I move my bones all over my body rattle... I slept too soundly, and I shed a small amount of saliva on Li Chengyin’s sleeves, eh... Li Cheng Yin's sleeves!
I actually lay there, resting Li Chengyin's arm with my chin and slept all night. There was no one quietly in the inner temple, but Li Chengyin on the bed was awake, and he seemed to be smiling. Look at me.
I saw his expression, and I knew he was really fine. I struggled to get my numb leg back. After trying it, I knew it was in vain. I couldn’t stand up for a while, and my waist...it was dawn, and my waist was sore and aching. Ah, it's almost like being run over by a cart all night, and I won't sleep like this again.
I used the strength of breastfeeding and finally stood up on the bed. I tried to step on my legs, but I was not sure whether to ask someone to come in and help me, or wait for a while, my feet would stop numb. Try again. At this time Li Chengyin finally spoke: "Where are you going?"
"Go back to sleep..." My tongue was numb. It was terrible. I almost bit my tongue when I spoke.
"Who told you to be like a pig, you can fall asleep anywhere, you can sleep on your knees, and you can't wake you up."
I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, and this man had the strength to fight with me just a little better.
He patted the bed beside him.
"What are you doing?"
"Aren't you going to sleep? The bed is big enough anyway."
It's really big enough. Li Chengyin's bed is much larger than an ordinary bed. It's more than enough for ten or eight people. But the point is not here, the point is, I can’t help but ask: "You want me to sleep with you?"
