Chapter 63 Disappointment
Chengying's sword was a false move. His goal was not to kill Jiang Sui, but to attract the attention of others and buy enough time for Wei Qian to leave.
Originally, he just wanted to stab Jiang Sui, but he accidentally stabbed Wei Xun. The king of a country is much more important than the regent. In an instant, everyone was in chaos. Wei Qian managed to escape, but Cheng Ying was slashed by Jiang Si. He didn't hurt his vitals, and left with his injured body.
If you want to blame, it's the middle of the night, it's too dark, and Chengying and the others don't know how long they have been stationed here, so it's more convenient than they know where to escape.
His Majesty was seriously injured, and Luo Meisi's people didn't dare to delay, so they hurriedly sent him to the temporary station at the foot of the mountain. Shen Ji had been waiting there early in the morning. Even if he was sleepy, he didn't dare to close his eyes, for fear that he would fall asleep At that time, His Majesty returned with the weak Regent to punish himself for disrespect.
Now that he is back, he is back, but this picture is somewhat different from what he imagined.
The director's expression was very serious, and he said quickly: "Your Majesty was wounded in the shoulder, and he was slashed by the enemy, and there was an unknown poison on the sword."
Hearing this, Shen Jijin's drowsiness disappeared immediately, and he quickly entered the state of a doctor, checking Wei Xun's injuries.
There were people coming and going in the simple room, Jiang Sui stood aside with a pale face, he couldn't help anything, he could only watch from the side.
The clear water in the basin gradually turned red, and after it was poured out, it was replaced with a new one, and soon it was stained with a deep layer of blood. Finally, someone noticed the existence of the regent, and whispered softly to invite him out But Jiang Sui didn't react at all, as if he didn't hear it.
If he doesn't leave, others can't bombard him, they can only let him continue standing there.
In this era, there is no surgery, no anesthesia, and a serious injury with bruises, apart from sprinkling a little expensive medicinal powder and sealing the acupoint with golden needles to stop the bleeding, the patient can only rely on the strong willpower and immunity of the patient.
It was just dawn when Wei Xun had a high fever. Shen Ji had been busy all night, and he couldn't stop now, he had to let Wei Xun's fever go down. If the fever continued like this, even if he survived, His Majesty would become a fool.
Shen Jijin wanted to write a follow-up prescription. He told a guard next to him how to reduce the temperature. Halfway through the conversation, the regent came over, "I've been busy all night, you all go down and rest, and some people come in .”
The guards listened, but they didn't refuse. They were really tired and couldn't take good care of His Majesty. They could rest, but Shen Jijin couldn't, so he still sat where he was.Jiang Sui was washing towels in the cold water basin. Only then did Shen Jijin see that the color of his hands was different from normal people's. The two marks on his wrists that had been bound had already started to bruise. He frowned and wanted to say something, Jiang Sui. Sui had already turned around, and put the towel lightly and softly on Wei Xun's forehead.
Shen Jijin looked at the two people, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just stood up and went out to write the prescription.
It took another half an hour for Jiang Yi and the others to arrive here.
Jiang Si took people to chase Wei Qian, but he still hasn't come back. Jiang Sui sat beside Wei Xun, and when he heard that Jiang Yi was coming, he didn't have the energy to meet him.Fortunately, Wei Xun was in good health, and by noon, the menacing high fever subsided, otherwise not only he would not be able to endure it, but Jiang Sui who was with him would not be able to endure it either.
He hadn't slept for nearly three days and three nights. After Shen Jijin said that Wei Xun was not in danger, he slept for a while in the next room, but woke up two hours later. Sitting on the bed, he opened the door and found Jiang [-]. Jiang Wu and Jiang Liuquan stood outside the door.
The three hidden guards looked at him in unison, but did not dare to speak.
Jiang Sui himself didn't seem to realize that ever since he left that mountain, his face had been expressionless, no anger, no sorrow, no anxiety, no joy, no matter who it was, seeing With his appearance, his heart skipped a beat, he didn't dare to approach him, let alone attract his attention.
Even Jiang Yi felt that there was something wrong with Jiang Sui's state at this time, so he frowned. He was about to speak, but Jiang Sui's eyes turned to himself, "Jiang Yi."
He said, "Come in with me."
Jiang Wu and Jiang Liu looked at each other in blank dismay, so they had no choice but to stay outside and act as guards at the gate.
The door was closed again, Jiang lowered his eyes subconsciously, and suddenly saw the scar on Jiang Sui's hand, he was startled for a moment, and immediately raised his head, "Master, your hand—"
"It doesn't matter," Jiang Sui interrupted him, "I ask you, where is Jiang Er."
Jiang Yi was silent for a moment, "In the capital, do you need your subordinates to call him?"
Jiang Sui shook his head, "No need, let him stay there, wait until you return to the capital in a few days, and then let him come to me."
Hearing this, I already had guesses in my heart, but Jiang Yi still asked in confirmation, "Master... are you leaving?"
His Majesty has not woken up yet, and Luo Meisi's people are negligent. If Jiang Sui still wants to leave, now is a godsend opportunity. However, when he heard Jiang Yi's question, Jiang Sui suddenly laughed, but the laughter was a bit strange, like happy, It's like resigning to fate.
"It's come to this point, what else is there to do?"
What is this situation, Jiang Yi wanted to ask, but Jiang Sui waved his hand wearily, "Go out, there are still a lot of messes that have not been cleaned up, Wei Qian, Cheng Ying and others slaughtered the local people, I know already Tell the Habayashi Army, there are many more listed in the room where I was tied up, you take Jiang Wu and Jiang Liu to help the Habayashi Army deal with these things, first save those who are in time, and the rest who are too late , buried them properly, and left some silver taels to their families so that they would not have such a difficult life in the future."
Jiang Yi bowed his head and said yes, after he went out, Jiang Sui also walked out of the room, and came to the next room, Shen Jijin was not there, only two guards were standing beside him like wood.
Last night, Jiang Sui heard what they said about Luo Mei Division, which seemed to be an organization established by Wei Xun himself.
I don't know how long Wei Xun lied to him.
Even Wei Xun could do such a thing as laying down his life for him, so Jiang Sui naturally wouldn't think that he was deliberately deceiving, maybe there was something unspeakable hidden in it.
Asking the two guards to go out, Jiang Sui sat next to Wei Xun, looked at him quietly for a while, and then turned his eyes away.
Wei Xun's clothes have been hung up, and Wei Xun's personal belongings are placed on the high table.
The jade pendant, finger ring, and that crude amulet.
Last night, Jiang Sui was there all the time, and he saw the guard take out this amulet from Wei Xun's arms with his own eyes. Because the blood stained so fast, even the corner of the amulet was stained with dazzling crimson.
A little lost in thought, Jiang Sui stretched out his hand and took the amulet. The amulet was the same as when Jiang Sui left.
——The small temple is lost in the deep mountains, and the lonely pavilion is lost in the lake.
The charm of Zen poetry is that no matter who you are or what state of mind you are in, you can always get your own insights from a simple Zen poem.
At the beginning when he gave Wei Xun this amulet, Jiang Sui wanted to wish him more and more meaningful achievements after he left, but now seeing this amulet, Jiang Sui felt that maybe this sentence is for You are the most suitable.
The road ahead is getting narrower and narrower until there is nowhere to go, and the ending is already obvious. Pain and hesitation, unable to stop the pace of time, is obviously the most desperate situation, but Jiang Sui feels that he has finally relaxed.
The most terrible thing has happened, so he no longer needs to be afraid.
Touching the notch of the poem, Jiang Sui gave a light smile, then turned around, and slowly stuffed the amulet under Wei Xun's pillow.
Wei Xun injured his left shoulder last night, so he is lying on his side now.His bones are fine, and his heart is fine. Although the sword is poisonous, after beating so many people in a row, the toxin is almost diluted. In terms of poisoning, Wei Xun's condition is not as serious as that of Mo Yu. Mo Yu was sick last night. The one who was carried back talked nonsense all night, Shen Jijin also prescribed a medicine for her, not long after drinking it, Mo Yu woke up.
Now I can stand up and help everyone.
After Jiang Sui stuffed the amulet, he raised his hand again and touched Wei Xun's forehead. This hand was a little cold, and he couldn't test the temperature, so he changed another hand. It didn't feel very hot, and it was even a little cold. He took his hand back, but just halfway through receiving it, someone grabbed his wrist.
Jiang Sui groaned in pain.
He looked over in surprise and haste, and found that Wei Xun woke up at some point and was looking at him deeply.
The two looked at each other, Jiang Sui slowly relaxed his body, moved his grasped hand, and said in a low voice, "It hurts."
It really hurts. After being tied for such a long time, he finally untied the rope forcibly. It was numb and itchy when he didn't touch it. Once touched, it turned into a pain like a pinprick. Jiang Sui rarely showed weakness. Normally, Wei Xun would have let go of him long ago, but now, Wei Xun stared at him without saying a word, and on the contrary held his hand even tighter.
He said coldly: "That's fine, let you have a long memory."
Jiang Sui endured the pain, and even laughed, "You just woke up, so you want to settle the score with me?"
Staring at the corners of Jiang Sui's raised mouth, Wei Xun pursed his lips, and still lowered his strength a little. However, he did not let go of Jiang Sui, but grabbed his hand, put it in his arms, and put his fingertips in his arms. Pressing it under the ribs, and wrapping the palm of the hand with the right arm, he was sure that Jiang Sui wanted to leave, and he knew it immediately, and then pulled him back, Wei Xun was finally satisfied.
When he just woke up, he really couldn't show any prestige, so he said in a slightly lower voice: "You asked for this."
After speaking, he raised his eyes and said seriously: "I won't forgive you easily."
The childish Wei Xun was a little cute, Jiang Sui let him hide his hands like a treasure, and in order to sit more comfortably, he leaned against Wei Xun, lowered his eyes, and asked cooperatively: " How can His Majesty be willing to forgive me?"
Wei Xun immediately replied: "Come back to the palace with me."
He thought in his heart that he blocked Jiang Sui's sword, Jiang Sui should be the best time to speak at this time, even if he still wanted to leave, he would hesitate again and again before answering, and he could use this opportunity to bargain .
Wei Xun's bottom line is that Jiang Sui is willing to go back to the capital with him. As for whether he will forcibly take him back to the palace after returning to the capital, that is not something that needs to be discussed now.
He was ready for Jiang Sui to reason with him and break things up, but in the next second, Jiang Sui frowned, "Okay."
He promised too quickly, Wei Xun suspected that he had heard wrong, "What?"
Jiang Sui continued to laugh, "I said yes, I will go back to the palace with Your Majesty, so Your Majesty, can you forgive me as soon as possible?"
Wei Xun looked at him in surprise.
It's not that he's suspicious, it's that Jiang Sui has a criminal record. On his birthday, he pretended so well that he almost deceived himself. Wei Xun was afraid that he was lying again this time, so he pursed his lips. I couldn't believe it completely, "We'll talk about it when we really go back to the palace."
Jiang Sui chuckled, stretched out his other free hand, and stroked Wei Xun's curly hair.
His movements were cautious, as gentle as treating a porcelain doll. Wei Xun was stunned for a moment, because just now, he seemed to see a trace of cherishing in Jiang Sui's eyes.
Is it an illusion?
Wei Xun didn't know, and couldn't tell the difference.
His Majesty woke up, and everyone was overjoyed. After all, their lives were saved in this way.As the saying goes, whether it is extremely happy or not, probably this sentence has come true recently, good things happen one after another, His Majesty and the Regent have reconciled, and the Regent has decided to go back to the palace with them. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for both the other party and himself.
Your Majesty is in good health, and the almost fatal injury almost healed within two days. Some people will be assigned to stay and continue to deal with the follow-up matters, and some people will be assigned to help Jiang Si pursue Wei Qian, and the rest will be Together with Wei Xun and Jiang Sui, they returned to the capital.
Regarding the suppression of the bandits, the Right Prime Minister did not tell the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. He only said that His Majesty was ill. The disease was still infected by the regent. Bones hold up this country.
The courtiers listened to his nonsense and despised him very much, but they couldn't do anything to the right minister, they could only bother him day after day, telling him to tell the truth quickly and honestly explain what happened.
If Wei Xun didn't come back again, Prime Minister You might have to deal with them by crying, making trouble, and hanging himself.
……
Back in the palace, Wei Xun liberated the suffering Prime Minister first, and returned to the Hall of Martial Arts. Jiang Sui went in with him. Seeing that Wei Xun was going to deal with the business affairs left over for a while, he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I want to leave the palace." Let's go and see Ah Zhui."
Since Wei Xun woke up, except for the very beginning when they mentioned Jiang Sui's escape, afterward, one of them took care of him with peace of mind, and the other recuperated with peace of mind. No one mentioned the previous unhappiness again, as if this incident never happened. Same thing.The director and others who watched were stunned, almost thinking that the tyrannical emperor a few days ago was not Wei Xun.
At this moment, just as Jiang Sui proposed to leave the palace, Wei Xun raised his head and looked at him with good eyes.
Qin Wangshan's scalp tightened, and his eyes began to dribble around.
Didn't you say you're reconciled?How can this look like a reconciliation, Luo Meisi dog thief, you are passing false information again!
……
The temperature of the atmosphere began to drop, and before it dropped to freezing point, Jiang Sui explained helplessly: "I don't want to run away. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to follow me."
There was no expression on Wei Xun's face. After a while, he also laughed, but the person who laughed was cold, "It's okay, I believe you."
Jiang Sui looked at him suspiciously, but Wei Xun really did what he said, until he left, he didn't send anyone to his side.
The emperor suddenly became easy to talk, Jiang Sui was dubious, always felt that there was something tricky, Qin Wangshan also thought the same, but seeing Wei Xun's indifferent appearance, he began to think again, maybe, after this incident, His Majesty grew up and became matured.
Just feeling a little relieved, Qin Wangshan suddenly heard Wei Xun call his name, he was startled, and quickly raised his head, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"
Wei Xun told him: "Go and clean up Chengming Palace."
Chengming Palace - the real residence of the emperors of all dynasties, Wei Xun should have moved in on the day he ascended the throne, but he didn't want to, Chengming Palace has been vacant until now.
Although he didn't know what Wei Xun wanted to do, Qin Wangshan agreed, "I'll do it now, old slave."
The Chengming Palace is so important that someone cleans it every day. It is said to be cleaned up, but in fact it is just to look around and go through the motions.
Wei Xun lowered his head again, and at the same time hummed, "After packing up, let Luo Meisi send some things in, pick a few strict-spoken and reliable servants, and don't let outsiders in."
Qin Wangshan was stunned, not understanding what kind of medicine was sold in Wei Xun's gourd.
He responded and walked out full of doubts.
On the other side, Jiang Sui went out of the palace, instead of going to Gu Fengxian's house first, he went to Huichun Medical Clinic instead.
Originally, when Jiang Sui came back, Jiang Yi would tell Jiang Er to go to the palace to find him, but Jiang Sui felt that with Wei Xun's personality, it would be difficult for him to return to the palace in the near future, so he took the initiative to find him. Jiang Er.
There were not many people in the clinic, and few people saw a doctor. Most of them came to get medicine. Jiang Sui took out a token and said that he was looking for Dr. Jiang. Looking at the sign of the Prince Regent's Mansion, the young man quickly invited him in.
At this time, Jiang Er was reading a medical book.
Seeing Jiang Sui, he was taken aback for a moment, then stood up abruptly, "My lord, why are you here?"
Jiang Sui smiled, "There is something I want to tell you."
Jiang Er didn't know about these things that happened recently. Jiang Yi only sent him a letter before, telling him not to reveal his identity no matter what he heard, so no matter what rumors he heard during this period, he didn't go out. However, he didn't know that Jiang Sui had left Beijing, let alone that Jiang Sui had returned.
Hastily letting Jiang Sui sit down, he asked, "What's the matter, my lord?"
Jiang Sui opened his mouth, "Well... I told you last time, don't look for an antidote..."
Hearing him bring this up again, Jiang Er's expression darkened immediately, "Sir, don't talk about it, I won't agree to this matter."
"No, you can continue to look for the antidote, but I need you to help me prepare another medicine as soon as possible."
As long as you don't look for an antidote, everything is negotiable, Jiang Er asked with a good temper: "What medicine?"
"Painkillers." Jiang Sui replied calmly.
Jiang Er looked at Jiang Sui. At first, he didn't realize the meaning behind this sentence. He thought that Jiang Sui was injured somewhere, but after looking at Jiang Sui for two seconds, his expression suddenly changed.
"My lord! You!—"
Jiang Er's tone changed, and he forgot to change his words. He looked at Jiang Sui in shock. Immediately, he forced himself to calm down, turned around with a pale face, and began to rummage through the medicine box, "No, I'm not sure yet. Wait a minute, my lord. I found out the silver needle, and we'll know once we stick the needle."
This is the reason why Jiang Sui has not told anyone about this matter until now. To inform one by one, he has to watch these people who care about him collapse over and over again, saying that he is timid or selfish, but he I just don't want to see this scene.
Jiang Sui lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Don't try, I know better than those silver needles what the poisonous hair is like."
Jiang Er froze.
Jiang Sui made his tone as cheerful as possible, "It's okay, it's been so many years, and you and I have already expected this situation. Thinking about it, this is the first time in my life that I've been tempted. It's like... …very sweet and filling.”
Speaking of this, Jiang Sui couldn't help smiling, paused, and then said: "It's just that the pain was too painful when it happened, and the pain was too sharp, and even the sweet taste would be overwhelmed by it. Legend has it that many people eat Simeiren after drinking it. , because I can't bear the pain, I will gradually turn from love to hate for the person I like. I don't want to do this. Please help me find a way to see if I can make a medicine to suppress the pain during this attack. I... ..."
Pursing his lips, Jiang Sui lowered his voice a bit, as if a little embarrassed, "I want to get along with him, like ordinary people."
Jiang Er suddenly turned around and glared at Jiang Sui, "It's just one time! Is the prince giving up now? Compared with the prince's life, what is that person important! What the prince should do at this time is to stay away from that person immediately. The feeling will change, as long as you don't see him, the prince's heart will gradually calm down. Believe in the subordinates, people are like this, and it's nothing to be tempted once."
He tried his best to persuade Jiang Sui, Jiang Sui looked up at him, and after a long time, he slowly opened his mouth: "But..."
Jiang Sui's voice was very soft, "It won't change."
Jiang Er was stunned.
Although Jiang Sui's voice was soft, it was firmer than his eloquent answer, as if he was just stating a fact in a very ordinary way.
Jiang Sui felt that what he said was correct.
It just won't change.
When you are not tempted, you may be able to deceive yourself and others, but now that you realize it, you can no longer deceive yourself.
He is very important to Wei Xun, so why not Wei Xun to him? If you are tempted by others, there is still room for change, but if you are tempted by Wei Xun, you will never die.
Others will never be able to understand and understand their feelings, just like the amulet he gave Wei Xun. The sandalwood can be carved into the shape of an amulet, but the amulet can never turn back to sandalwood. His love for Wei Xun Feelings, that's it.Once it deteriorates, after being sculpted by fire and time, there is no chance of recovery.
Jiang Er has been a secret guard all his life, he doesn't know what it means to be tempted, and he doesn't understand why Jiang Sui can be so calm. It seems calm, but there is a madness like a moth to a flame hidden inside.
He lost his voice for a long time, and finally, with a plop, he knelt down and said through gritted teeth, "This subordinate will find the antidote."
Jiang Sui replied with a smile: "Well, the painkiller has worked hard for you."
Coming out of the Huichun Medical Center, Jiang Sui sighed softly, and then went to the General's Mansion. General Gu was not at home, but Jiang Zhui was. Jiang Sui was still curious about what he would do in General Gu's Mansion. When he came in, he was still there. Read and write articles.
Jiang Sui couldn't help laughing, but when Jiang Zhui heard his voice, he paused when he turned the pages of the book. After that, he turned his head and looked at Jiang Sui.
There was deep disappointment in his eyes, but it disappeared after a flash.
Jiang Sui walked over and patted his head as usual, "How are you doing these days?"
Jiang Zhui lowered his eyes, "Well, it's pretty good."
"Then do you want to go back to the palace???? team, or stay here forever?"
Jiang Zhui's eyes fixed, and he raised his head, "Brother, what do you mean by that?"
"...It's nothing interesting. I recently angered His Majesty. I may not be able to leave the palace for a long, long time. If I always leave you alone in the palace, I will feel bad."
Jiang Zhui didn't ask him why he arrived at the General's Mansion overnight and was locked up, so Jiang Sui didn't answer. The younger brother is not young, so he knows there are some things that he can't inquire about.
Jiang Zhui looked at Jiang Sui, but didn't see any clues from his face. He was silent for a while, then lowered his eyes again, "Then stay in the General's Mansion, there are still people here who can talk to me."
Jiang Sui was actually inclined to let him go back to the palace, but when he heard what Jiang Zhui said, his brother's heart was shaken again, and he touched his brother's head guiltily, and he promised: "Okay, Ah Zhui is here with peace of mind. You can live there for as long as you want.”
From what he said, it seems that the surname of the general's mansion is not Gu, but Jiang.
……
After arranging the affairs outside the palace, Jiang Sui rushed back to the palace immediately. He was afraid that Wei Xun would get angry again after not seeing him for a long time, but he didn't. Wei Xun thought he would come back at night, and the sky was still bright at this time , the person came back, and he was a little surprised.
Sitting in the main hall of Chengming Palace, Wei Xun sent Qin Wangshan to pick up Jiang Sui, Qin Wangshan passed quickly, and Jiang Sui happened to arrive at the gate of Wuying Hall at that time.
Qin Wangshan laughed like a dog in the distance, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty has moved to Chengming Palace today. If you want to find His Majesty, go to Chengming Palace."
Jiang Sui asked in surprise, "Chengming Palace? Why is it so sudden?"
"Not suddenly, not suddenly. In fact, His Majesty wanted to move back a long time ago, but he just didn't have time. No, some time ago, His Majesty's living in the Hall of Martial Ying became more and more uncomfortable, and he changed a lot of appliances. The dormitory has also been changed."
Jiang Sui: "..."
Qin Wangshan seemed to be hinting to him that Wei Xun smashed a lot of things in the Hall of Martial Arts during his escape.
Jiang Sui looked back at the Hall of Martial Arts, said nothing, and followed Qin Wangshan and left.
It's just that along the way, he was thinking about what Wei Xun wanted to do.
When he was able to see the gate of the Palace of Martial Heroes, Jiang Sui suddenly remembered that there was a plot in the book, Zuo Zhiqiu was out on errands, and had an affair with the local magistrate. Wei Xun was not happy, so he locked Zuo Zhiqiu in the harem In a palace, he was not released until he calmed down.
The comments at that time were all carnival, and they shouted with great excitement: "Little black house!"Little black house!
This...couldn't be the legendary little black house?
Qin Wangshan was still waiting for him to go in, but Jiang Sui hesitated for a while, but didn't put his legs in. In the end, Qin Wangshan couldn't wait any longer and pushed him in under the name of helping him.
As soon as Jiang Sui walked to the main hall, Qin Wangshan behind him slammed the door shut.
Jiang Sui was startled, turned around, looked at the dark inner hall, and couldn't help swallowing.
And...it's really dark.
The author has something to say: Little Black House: We are professionals
This crematorium... I write more and more clearly...
Strange, why can't I write scumbags...
