Chapter 46 Chapter 46
The medicine that Mu Ruqi mentioned is really not a rare thing.
There are many in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, but the most taboo in the palace is the most filthy and messy things in the palace. I am especially afraid that the concubines in the harem will use this method to confuse the emperor.
After Jin Wuwei left, after thinking about it, he secretly felt that something was wrong, and under entanglement, he still reported the matter to Yan Yuhua truthfully.
"Commander, do you want to help His Highness with this matter?" Jin Wuwei firstly despises His Royal Highness' behavior of looking for drugs, and secondly, he is afraid that Jinwu Guard will be implicated, "If His Majesty knows..."
"Our Jinwu Guards have always obeyed the orders of the Tian family. We will do what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince says." Yan Yuhua's expression was calm, and he seemed to be holding something in his palm, and he asked him to step back indifferently, "Could it be possible? , do you want me to reject His Highness the Crown Prince?...It's just looking for some medicine, you and I should be careful not to be discovered. Even if His Majesty really finds out, wouldn't His Majesty care who the Crown Prince favors and who he doesn't? ?"
After hearing this, the Jinwu Guards realized that it was reasonable, they clasped their fists in salute, and left with peace of mind.
He didn't realize that what Yan Yuhua was holding in his hand was nothing but the dagger that Yue Ji had stabbed into his abdomen.
The blood on it had long since dried up, forming layers of ugly scars.
"Take your time." Yan Yuhua stared at the word "period" hidden under the bloodstains, with a chill in his eyes.
At his feet, in the stove, there was a letter that was about to burn out, and the tongue of fire licked it, completely engulfing the words "Xia Chaosheng".
Xia Chaosheng fell ill after only three days away from Shangjing.
It's not always true that he was "falling ill". He is still conscious, but his body is weak and he can't get out of the carriage to walk. Compared with usual, he just coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood.
Although Xia Chaosheng was annoyed that his body was too weak, he didn't feel sorry for himself.
Ever since he was reborn, he knew what he was facing. At this moment, he only had regrets: "Uncle Jiu, you go ahead and walk with me, it's too slow."
When Mu Rugui heard the words, he remained silent for a long time.
He could feel Uncle Jiu's struggle, and said with a light smile, "The military situation is urgent, why are you still reluctant to leave?"
"Wait for me." Mu Rugui didn't hesitate anymore, touched Xia Chaosheng's thin cheek, and before leaving, he pressed him in the carriage and kissed him wantonly before leaving without looking back.
Xia Chaosheng touched his slightly swollen lips, his ears were slightly red, he gasped for breath, and after drinking the medicine he should drink, he asked Xia Hua to find Qin Xuanlang.
When he left Beijing this time, he did not leave Qin Xuanlang behind.
In his previous life, he didn't know that Uncle Jiu had such a counselor by his side until after his death.
Qin Xuanlang is available, but Xia Chaosheng does not confirm when it will be available.
If he has two minds and surrenders on the surface, but still has contacts with the Qin family secretly, then it is a big mistake for him to introduce Qin Xuanlang to Uncle Jiu.
Besides, Qin Xuanlang, when he heard that he was able to follow him to Jiaxing Pass, he was not only not afraid, but also excited for a long time, saying that a big man has ambitions in all directions, and a small one going to the capital makes him unable to perform, he is really aggrieved.
Now, after leaving Shangjing, I wonder if I can still be as happy as before?
"Young Master, someone brought it to you."
Xia Chaosheng covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and coughed twice.
Qin Xuanlang's brisk voice came from outside the carriage: "The Ninth Princess is looking for me, but is there something wrong with the lord?"
"I can't find you?" He lifted the curtain of the car and looked up and down at Qin Xuanlang, who was kneeling by the carriage. The scars faded, and Qin Xuanlang's face showed the youthfulness that belonged to young people, but his pair of eyes were always shining His eyes were exactly the same as the prime minister in Xia Chaosheng's memory.
"It's also my honor that the princess is looking for me." Qin Xuanlang was stunned for a moment, remembering Mu Rugui's previous warning, and immediately said with a playful smile, "I don't know why the princess is looking for me?"
"I want to ask you, would you like to have your own 'Qin family'?"
The cynicism on Qin Xuanlang's face couldn't hold back after hearing Xia Chaosheng's understatement.
He raised his head abruptly, and stared at Xia Chaosheng, whose face was white with blood on his lips without blinking: "Princess, do you know what I just said?"
Xia Chaosheng smiled slightly: "I know."
"Does the concubine know that to fight against the current Qin family, one has to face not only the empress of the dynasty, but also the prime minister of Qin? ... Is that person still my father?"
"I know."
"Princess, do you know that even if I nod my head now, even if I try my best to fight against the Qin family based on the prince's power in the court alone, it will still be as difficult as reaching the sky?"
"I know."
"Then you still ask me such a question?" Qin Xuanlang blushed angrily.
Xia Chaosheng still had the same indifferent expression: "If you don't want to, forget it."
After saying that, he put down the curtain directly, but he didn't want to look at him again.
Seeing this, Qin Xuanlang was shocked and turned pale with fright. He threw himself in front of the carriage, shouted "I do", and tried to lift the curtain.
Seeing this, Xia Hua who was standing by the side stretched out her hand without changing her face, and knocked Qin Xuanlang's wrist lightly and lightly, and he knelt down with a miserable cry, with big drops of cold sweat on his forehead.
Qin Xuanlang is like a fragile child in front of martial arts practitioners.
But when his wrist was removed, not only was he not angry, but a fiery light burst out from his eyes.
To be under one person and above ten thousand people is what he has pursued all his life.
What the crown prince couldn't do for him was all presented in Xia Chaosheng's mouth.
Even if the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, what is there to be afraid of?
If everything went smoothly, his existence would be meaningless.
Qin Xuanlang slowly cleared his mind in severe pain.
The Ninth Prince is not without a chance of winning.
In other words, his prestige, his useless legs, and everything that ordinary people see as hopeless for enthronement are instead the capital for him to recharge his energy.
"Princess, I understand." Qin Xuanlang got up from the ground, and changed his previous cynical attitude, "But according to the concubine's orders."
Xia Chaosheng, who was sitting in the carriage, raised the corners of his lips.
He said: "This trip to Jiaxing Pass is not important, the important thing is after returning..."
Qin Xuanlang's eyes flashed, and he understood: "The princess is worried about the reputation of the prince?"
Everyone in Daliang knew that Ninth Prince Mu Rugui had killed the No. [-], and wanting to change did not happen overnight.
If Mu Ruguiru wants to take that step, he must win the hearts of the people.
"Is there anything the princess can do for me?"
"It's not difficult, it depends on how Mr. Qin chooses." Xia Chaosheng's voice came faintly from behind the carriage.
Qin Xuanlang thought to himself, what else?
Isn't it just to write a few more poems and essays praising virtues and scatter them everywhere, subtly changing the views of the people?
But his wishful thinking failed.
Xia Chaosheng actually said: "I want you to write a letter to Mr. Qin...your father personally from now on."
"What?!" Qin Xuanlang raised his head in shock.
"As for the content of the letter, just write it truthfully." Xia Chaosheng said his plan in an orderly manner, "How did you argue with him before you left, and you continued to argue in the letter, anyway, you have already left Shangjing, Emperor Tiangao Yuan, Master Qin wants to send someone to take you back, but it will not help."
"Just let him feel that you still care about His Highness the Crown Prince."
"But... But, I have already followed the Ninth Prince..."
"Have you forgotten? Earlier, His Majesty said that His Royal Highness would go out with the Ninth Prince." Xia Chaosheng frowned slightly, "Mr. Qin, you want me to think of such a simple excuse for you. What does the Palace want from you?" use?"
Qin Xuanlang's face was reddish, he gritted his teeth and said, "What the princess said is true."
"Write a letter every fifteen days and show it to me before sending it."
Qin Xuanlang nodded in agreement, and then waited patiently until he was sure that Xia Chaosheng hadn't spoken any more, then he asked in bewilderment: "Princess, what next?"
"Then?" Xia Chaosheng yawned wearily, "Just write now, and we'll talk about it after your father gets the bait."
"Princess..." Qin Xuanlang was confused and wanted to ask again, but Xia Hua's hand had already reached out again.
The exact same excruciating pain returned.
Qin Xuanlang shuddered and fell to the ground, the wrist that was removed could move.
Xia Hua pursed her lips and smiled, stood Tingting in front of the carriage, softly gave the order to drive away: "Young Master Qin, our princess is going to rest."
Qin Xuanlang, who had his wrists off for a while, didn't dare to treat Xia Hua as an ordinary maid, and couldn't stop shivering even when he saw Qiu Chan holding the medicine.
"Xia Hua, why is he panicking?" Qiu Chan climbed into the carriage inexplicably.
Xia Hua took the medicine bowl and answered casually, "Maybe it's because I'm afraid of encountering Di people on the road?"
"What a coward." Qiu Chan believed it. "So what if there are Di people in our Daliang territory? He was afraid of this before he reached Jiaxing Pass. If he really arrived at Jiaxing Pass, wouldn't he be so scared that he would pee his pants?"
"Nonsense, be careful not to dirty the ears of our young master!"
When Qiu Chan heard this, she quickly shut her mouth, and carefully looked at Xia Chaosheng who was curled up in the carriage, wrapped in fox fur, frowning and closing his eyes to rest his mind.
He was paler than when he left Shangjing, so pale that he could see the slightly protruding veins on the side of his neck.
Xia Chaosheng coughed a few times in a low voice, and a few glaring drops of blood fell from between his slender fingers.
Qiu Chan's heart tightened, and she knelt in the carriage, tearfully wiping away the warm blood with a handkerchief.
It's not that the accompanying doctor has never seen it, but after seeing it, there is no other way.
Xia Chaosheng's body was withering at a rapid speed, and his lifespan of five years was like a vicious and terrible curse that followed like a shadow.
He won't die immediately, but will become weak until the remaining spiritual energy in his body is exhausted.
"Young Lord, my maidservant is going to cook ginseng soup for you. You drink the medicine first." Qiuchan helped Xia Chaosheng sit up, touched his cold fingers, and exclaimed in a small voice, "Could it be that the stove is not hot enough? Numaid Go get another one for you."
Xia Chaosheng was powerless to stop, and Qiu Chan had already jumped off the carriage.
"Young Master, drink the medicine first." Xia Hua on the side firmly supported Xia Chaosheng's arm, "Your body is important."
He pursed his lips, said no more, frowned, drank the bitter soup, and coughed violently again.
Xia Zhaosheng knows better than anyone else where the limit of this body is.
Up to five years.
After five years, even without Mu Ruqi's glass of poisoned wine, he would not be able to survive.
"What are you doing with a mournful face?" Xia Chaosheng was silent for a moment, then raised the corners of his lips, and patted Xia Hua's shoulder with a cold hand, "Isn't it just coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood? It's not like you haven't seen me when I was worse .”
Xia Hua quickly put on a smile and claimed yes.
That's right, Xia Chao was so sick that he had to use a coffin to cheer him up, but now he just coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, so why worry?
He looked at the maid's gradually relaxed eyebrows, and dug his nails deeply into his palms.
Only five years left.
There was only so much time left for him to be with Uncle Jiu.
Fifteen days later, Xia Chaosheng finally saw the shadow of Jiaxing Pass in the wind and sand.
Qin Xuanlang's first letter has also been written.
Xia Chaosheng nodded with satisfaction after reading it: "Have someone send it back to Shangjing."
Before the words finished, Xia Hua's exclamation sounded from outside the carriage: "Young Master, Xuanjia cavalry!"
Xia Chaosheng's heart trembled, and he couldn't wait to lift the curtain of the car.
On the vast horizon, the crimson sunset burns in harmony, and the black clouds follow the night, like a sharp sword, coming straight towards them.
"Uncle Nine..." Xia Chaosheng murmured, "Uncle Nine!"
As if hearing his call, a flash of lightning flashed out of the black cloud, and it came to him in the blink of an eye.
Mu Rugui, who was wearing armor, hurriedly jumped into the carriage, then turned and left under Xia Chaosheng's surprised gaze.
Mu Rugui quickly took off his pitch-black armor behind the carriage, and when he appeared in front of him again, his voice was slightly breathless: "Chaosheng."
Looking at each other, Mu Rugui's eyes trembled violently.
Xia Zhaosheng was so pale that he seemed to disappear at any moment, he was clearly smiling, but his thin lips were bloodless.
He was like a ghost who had been dead for a long time, hiding in the shadow of the carriage, unable to see his expression clearly.
In panic, Mu Rugui strangled him tightly in his arms, and repeatedly confirmed that he was still there: "Chaosheng."
"Uncle Nine." Xia Chaosheng raised his head with difficulty, and pressed his cheek against Mu Rugui's bearded chin.
Mu Rugui's heart softened completely, and he carried him into the carriage: "Did you drink your medicine properly?"
"Uncle Jiu smelled the smell of medicine in the carriage, so he won't ask such questions again." Xia Chaosheng put his hand up helplessly, leaned on Mu Rugui's shoulder, squinted his eyes, and asked softly, "Where is Uncle Jiu, is there any help?" Injuried?"
"No." Mu Rugui kept rubbing Xia Chaosheng's slender waist with rough palms, frowning dissatisfied.
How did you lose so much weight again?Xia Chao was afraid that Uncle Jiu would not tell the truth, so he stretched out his hand and groped the other person's chest a few times, but found nothing unusual, so he felt relieved: "What about Uncle Jiu's legs?"
Mu Rugui's whole body was tense for him to touch, and there was a hot current circling in his lower abdomen, and he repressed it bravely, so as not to show any clues in front of Xia Chaosheng.
Mu Rugui held down his fidgeting hand indiscriminately, and replied dryly, "No problem."
Xia Chaosheng pursed his lips, not too happy to hear such a perfunctory answer, but he didn't bother him much.
He has already discovered that there are some things that Mu Rugui doesn't want him to know, even if he wears his mouth and really makes a scene, it's useless.
So after Xia Chaosheng came to Jiaxing Pass, he always acted very well-behaved. When Mu Rugui asked him to drink medicine, he took the medicine. When the doctor from the border pass came to see him, he didn't resist.
Mu Rugui gradually relaxed his vigilance until... when he was taking a bath at night, the blushing Xia Chaosheng rushed in.
"Chaosheng!" Mu Rugui's expression changed instantly, and he knocked over the candlestick on the table.
The night covered up Mu Rugui's embarrassment.
Unexpectedly, Xia Chaosheng was well prepared, took out the flint from his arms, and lit the candles that had been prepared.
The flickering candlelight illuminated his eyes covered with water vapor.
The steam was thick, and Mu Rugui couldn't tell whether the emotions surging in his mind were anger or excitement.
Xia Chaosheng cleared his throat, and said seriously, "Uncle Jiu, you forced me."
He didn't tell the truth, and he was not allowed to lift his trouser legs to look at it, so he could only figure out a way by himself.
Xia Chaosheng swayed to Mu Rugui's side with a trace of complacency, against the crimson fire light, his tight muscle lines were covered with an ambiguous watery light.
He blushed abruptly, took half a step back, and belatedly felt ashamed: "Uncle Jiu."
"En." Mu Rugui's voice was even lower than usual.
Xia Chaosheng swallowed: "I... let me see your legs..."
In order to hide his nervousness, he squatted down directly, fearing that the light of the fire would shine where it shouldn't be, so he stretched out his hand and carefully covered the flames.
Orange light climbed up Mu Rugui's calf.
Xia Chaosheng couldn't wait to look over, and then his whole body froze, bead-sized beads of sweat emerged from his forehead, and tears fell down.
"Chaosheng." Mu Rugui couldn't bear it anymore, so he grabbed an underwear and put it on his shoulders, and hurriedly picked him up from the ground.
Xia Chaosheng was wrapped in the hot moisture, sobbing silently.
"It doesn't hurt." Mu Rugui sighed helplessly, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Really."
"Why doesn't it hurt?" He murmured hoarsely.
The water on the ground was stained red with blood, how could Uncle Jiu not be in pain?
That stubborn illness is still oozing blood and pus, terrifying and ferocious.
"Uncle Jiu, have you applied the medicine yet?" Xia Chaosheng rummaged around in a hurry after feeling distressed, "How can you soak in water while bleeding? Uncle Jiu, you really..."
"Chaosheng." Seeing him flustered, Mu Rugui's heart felt sore and swollen as if soaked in hot water.
Mu Rugui stretched out his hand to hold Xia Chaosheng in his arms again, and explained in a low voice, "It's a Gu."
"What?" He didn't hear clearly.
"It's a Gu." Mu Rugui pulled Xia Chaosheng to sit down, the silver moonlight illuminated Mu Rugui's sharp face, and there was only warmth in those eagle eyes, "Chaosheng, this is for the emperor brother to see." of."
Mu Rugui paused, and turned over the rest of the words on the tip of his tongue many times, but he still didn't know how to say it.
Xia Chaosheng used to be pleased with the crown prince, even if he married into the palace and became his concubine now, if he knew that he was rebellious, it would be difficult for him to deal with himself.
Hou Mansion, Wang Mansion...
Pulled around and moved the whole body.
Mu Rugui is not interested in the supreme position, he just wants to protect Xia Chaosheng by his side.
But if sitting on it can ensure Xia Chaosheng's life goes smoothly, he can do anything.
Xia Chaosheng seemed to have sensed it, but he held Mu Rugui's hand and leaned closer to him: "Uncle Jiu, I understand."
Mu Rugui's body trembled slightly.
He closed his eyes and smiled wryly: "Your Majesty is afraid of the Hou's Mansion and the Wang's Mansion. It's not a matter of a day or two. I was confused before, but now I'm sober."
He clearly knew what the Hou Mansion and the Wang Mansion were facing.
"What I understand, my father also understands." Xia Chaosheng put his arms around Mu Rugui's neck and said seriously, "You don't...don't be on guard against me."
"Chaosheng, I didn't guard against you." Mu Rugui's face became solemn when he heard the words, he supported his legs, and said in a sharp tone, "But if this matter is exposed and you are involved, what should I do..."
"Then be careful." Xia Chaosheng smiled suddenly, his eyes were brighter than the moonlight outside the window, "One is prosperous, one is damaged, and the other is damaged. If Uncle Jiu is worried about me, he should care more about himself."
He insisted on tying the two to a boat.
Leaving aside how many monstrous waves Mu Rugui caused in his heart, another matter is more important now.
The thin outer shirt was already wet with water, and it was wet between the two of them.
Xia Chaosheng twisted his waist, his face flushed suddenly, then he lowered his head shyly, and after a moment, he said in a trembling voice, "Nine...Uncle Nine..."
Mu Rugui forced himself to be calm, put him aside, turned around and put on his clothes: "You... go back first."
Xia Chaosheng struggled with his eyes and didn't move.
"Chaosheng?" Mu Rugui paused slightly as he tied his clothes, his voice hoarse, "It will scare you, go back first."
"Uncle Ninth, we...we're married." He whispered over, put his hands into his clothes, blushing almost to the point of bleeding, "I can help you."
Although his body couldn't stand the toss, his hands were fine.
Mu Rugui could have refused, but when the cool touch bloomed, he forgot everything.
He seemed to have returned to the time when he first met Xia Chaosheng.
The young man standing under the courtyard wall is as bright as spring, and the falling flowers are blowing up a burst of fragrant wind.
"Ninth Uncle."
"Uncle Nine..."
"Chaosheng." At the end, Mu Rugui picked up Xia Chaosheng who was limp on the ground, and kissed the corner of his tear-stained eyes.
His wrist was sore that he couldn't lift it up.
Mu Rugui carried Xia Chaosheng back to the bedroom, and asked Hong Wu to find a plaster for his tendon injury.
Xia Chaosheng hid half of his face in the quilt, and kept muttering, "It's been a long time."
The movements of Mu Rugui's hands paused, and the roots of his ears turned red: "Not long."
"Why not long?" He asked back unconvinced, his face getting redder.
Mu Rugui stopped talking, and held Xia Chaosheng's slender hand, and massaged it back and forth with the hand rubbed with medicated oil, with gentle movements, as if holding the most precious treasure in the world.
The warm medicated oil penetrated into the skin, gradually relieving the soreness, he gradually calmed down, lay on the couch with trembling eyelids, and soon fell asleep.
After Mu Rugui finished applying the medicine, he couldn't sleep at night.
The crying "Nine Uncles" made people feel hot all over, and their limbs were sore and weak. They wished they could hear more.
Knowing the taste from the marrow, but that's all.
And at this very moment, the door of Qin's family, which was far away in Shangjing, was knocked by dusty travelers.
The servant who received the letter suddenly changed his expression after seeing the handwriting on the letter: "My lord, the letter from the young master is the letter from the young master!"
Half an hour later, the letter was placed before the prime minister, Qin Tongda's case.
"This rebellious son actually ran to Jiaxing Pass!"
The old servant who was serving at the side smiled and comforted: "Didn't the young master ask in the letter when will His Highness the Crown Prince go? He must have thought that His Highness the Crown Prince's confinement can be relieved, and he couldn't bear to apologize to the Patriarch, so he did it." He left Shangjing without permission."
"Can I guess what he's thinking?" Qin Tongda sneered, "He still accused the prince of what he did with certainty in his heart... But in Daliang today, only the fifth prince can compete with the prince! This rebellious son In anger, I feel that the Crown Prince is useless and unwilling to help, but when I calm down and think about it, I will definitely realize that there is an aunt who is the queen, and he is destined to be tied to the Qin family only!"
"...Furthermore, based on his identity, what can he do if he really surrenders to the Fifth Prince?"
"...The fifth prince will definitely not reuse anyone from the Qin clan, and it will be for nothing if he goes."
The old servant nodded again and again: "However, what the young master did was right... Who knew that His Majesty really imprisoned His Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace?"
"As soon as the sinful edict was posted, it caused an uproar." Qin Tongda thought of this, his expression was not good, "Your Majesty can't find a reason to release the prince from the East Palace... Forget it, let the boy blow the wind at the border, calm down Come back."
The old servant responded, and before leaving, he properly put away the letter Qin Xuanlang sent back.
The author has something to say: laying down a small foreshadowing about the treatment hehehehehehehe? (????ω????)?
