I was rushing to pick up the knife, and with a flick of his sleeve, he rolled the knife away. I was furious and slapped it, but before it touched the corner of his clothes, he had already reached out and clasped my wrist, and my eyes became hot, and said, "If you don't save it, you won't save it, you can go quickly, I'll come back later. Don't see you anymore!" Gu Jian looked at me for a moment, finally sighed, and said, "Don't be angry. I'll just go and save her." Beckoned from the window. Gu Jian silently jumped in from the window and carefully checked A'Du's injury. He said to me: "The person who shot was so cruel that even the meridians were almost broken." I felt a chill in my heart, and he said, "But there is still a way to save it." He glanced at me, "But if I save it She, how are you going to repay me?" I was so anxious, I said, "It's been a while, and you still say such things. If you want to save A'Du, no matter how much money you get, I'll give it to you." He said contemptuously:" What do I want money for? You look down on me too.” I asked: “Then what do you want?” He smiled: “Unless… unless you kiss me.” I almost fainted, why men Do you like chewing your mouth so much

Li Cheng Yin is like this, and even this world-class master Gu Jian is like this

I gritted my teeth, stepped forward, grabbed his shoulders, and nibbled at him hard.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly pushed me away and suddenly forced me to ask: "Who taught you?" I was inexplicable: "What?" "In the past you would only kiss my face, who taught you?" "Li Cheng Yin?" I was afraid that he wouldn't accept A'Du, so I didn't dare to quarrel with him.

His face was even more ugly: "You let Li Chengyin kiss you?" Li Chengyin is my husband, shouldn't I let him kiss me? I was actually quite afraid of Gu Jian, afraid that he would kill Li Cheng Yin in a fit of rage. Because he was tense all over, as if he was going to go crazy at any moment, and the look on his face was extremely ugly, and his eyes were fixed on me.

I finally couldn't help it and said loudly: "You said it yourself, I was the one who waited for you for three days and three nights, but you didn't go. Don't say anything now and don't remember, even if I remember, we've already been there. It is impossible to be together, I am already married to someone else. If you are willing to save A'Du, then save her. If you are not willing, I will not force you, but if you want me to betray my husband, it is absolutely impossible. Our four cool women, although they don't like the Central Plains women pay attention to the three virtuous and nine strong, but I married Li Chengyin, he is my husband, no matter what we were in the beginning, now I and you are no longer selfish. "Gu Jian took a step back after hearing this, I just felt that his eyes were full of anger, and there was an indescribable... Sadness? But I already had my heart set on it. Why do I want to tell Gu Jian what Li Chengyin said, whether Li Chengyin treats me well or not, for the sake of Xiliang I married him, and he pushed me away at the most dangerous time, I really shouldn't betray me he.

I said, "Let's go, I won't ask you to save A'Du again." He suddenly smiled: "Xiao Feng... It turns out that this is retribution." He stretched out his hand, helped ADu up, and then placed his palm against In her vest, heal her wounds.

Until it got dark, Gu Jian was still healing A'Du. I just sat at the door, afraid that someone would break in and disturb them. But I haven't slept much in the past few days. I leaned against the pillar and was about to fall asleep in a daze. Fortunately, I only took a nap for a while, because my head was knocked on the pillar, and I woke up immediately. Gu Jian had already come out, and I asked him, "How is it?" He said indifferently, "I can't die." I walked in to see A'Du lying there, his face seemed to have improved a lot, and he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I thanked Gu Jian again and again, but he didn't answer, he just took out a medicine jar from his arms and gave it to me: "You said that Li Cheng Yin suffered a serious trauma, this is the elixir for trauma, take it to him Use it. "I don't understand why he is so kind all of a sudden, maybe my face was a little suspicious, and he sneered: "Why, I'm afraid I'll poison him? Then I'll be fine." I hurriedly put the medicine bottle in In the arms: "I'll thank you again after curing him." Gu Jian sneered and said, "You don't need to thank me, I'm not at ease. When you cure him, I will kill him with a sword. If you don't kill someone who has no resistance at all, when he is healed, he will die." I made a face at him: "I know you won't, when his wound is healed, I will definitely Please have a drink." Gu Jian didn't bother me anymore, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

Having said that, I still showed the bottle of medicine to the imperial doctor. They picked out the medicine, smelled it, and looked at it. I hesitated for a long time, avoiding people to pick out some of the medicine and put it on my arm, except for a little cold, I didn't feel anything else. The next day I got up and washed the medicine off, and my skin was smooth and clear, and I didn't see any problems. I feel a little relieved, this Gu Jian's martial arts is so high, the peerless master always has some panacea, maybe this medicine is really a good thing. On the second day, I quietly applied the medicine to Li Chengyin's wound while others were unprepared.

I don't know if it was the effect of these medicines, or whether the decoctions from the Taiyuan Hospital finally took effect. Anyway, at dusk on the fourth day, Li Chengyin's fever finally subsided.

His fever subsided, everyone was greatly relieved, and I was persuaded to go back to sleep. Not long after I slept, I was woken up by Yong Niang. Yong Niang's face was very frightened, and she said to me, "His Royal Highness's injury has suddenly worsened." I rushed to Li Cheng Yin's bedroom, where there was already a siege. Many people, the imperial physicians, saw me coming, and quickly made way. I walked over to the bed and saw Li Cheng Yin's face was pale, his breathing was rapid, and a lot of yellow water was seeping out of the wound. He was still in a coma. Although he did not have a fever, his breathing became weaker and weaker.

The imperial doctor said: "His Royal Highness's lungs are injured, and now the evil wind is invading the veins, which is extremely dangerous." I don't know if there is a problem with those wound medicines, but everyone in the palace panicked, and the emperor also sent people, but Now the imperial doctor is helpless, and there is nothing to do. Instead, I calmed down, sat on the footrest in front of the bed, and held Li Cheng Yin's hand. His hand was very cold. I held his hand in my hand and warmed him with my body.

The imperial physicians were still buzzing and talking, and I ignored them. After the night, there were fewer people in the hall, and Yong Niang brought me a cloak. At that time, I was lying in front of Li Cheng Yin's bed, looking at him without blinking.

How good-looking he is, the first time I saw Li Chengyin, I thought he was good-looking. His eyebrows were so dark and thick, his nose was so straight, and his face was as white as the jade of Khotan. But Li Chengyin's Bai Jing is not like a girl, he is just pure and gentle, not as rough as our men in Xiliang, he is like the water in the Central Plains, the mountains in the Central Plains, and Shangjing in the Central Plains, with a gentle temperament.

I remembered one thing, so I said to Yongniang: "Tell someone to release Zhao Liangdi and let her come to see His Royal Highness." Although Zhao Sesu has been deposed as a commoner, I still used to call her Zhao Liangdi, Yongniang She frowned and said to me embarrassedly: "Now there is such a big event in the palace, and the matter of Zhao Shuren involves the Empress... The servant thinks that if there is no His Majesty's will, the Crown Princess should not go first... "I rarely lose my temper. , said to her: "Now Li Chengyin is hurt like this, he usually likes Zhao Liangdi the most, why can't Zhao Liangdi come to see him? Besides, isn't Zhao Liangdi wronged? Since she was wronged, why can't she come? See Li Chengyin? "Yongniang is used to my Li Chengyin and Li Chengyin's calling, but she's not used to me acting like a prince in this kind of thing, so she hesitated for a moment. I said with a stern face that I couldn't doubt it, and she immediately called someone to go.

After many days of absence, Zhao Liangdi lost weight. She used to be a plump beauty, but now that she has reduced it, and because of her status as a commoner, she can only be dressed in plain clothes, which makes her even more pitiful. She knelt down to carry my luggage, and I said to her, "His Royal Highness is very ill, so I asked you to come and see him." Zhao Liangdi suddenly raised her head and looked at me with tears in her eyes. When she cried like this, my throat was sore and I said, "Go in and see him, but don't cry." Zhao Liangdi wiped her tears and whispered, "Yes." She went in for a while and knelt down Before Li Chengyin's sickbed, he still burst into tears, which made me feel annoyed. I came out and sat down on the steps outside the door, looking up at the sky.

The sky was like black velvet, covered with sour stars.

I feel poor, like a superfluous person.

At this time, someone came over and saluted me: "Prince Concubine." The armor on his body made a crisp sound, which was very nice. I actually don't want to see anyone at this time, but Pei Zhao has rescued me several times, and I can't ignore him, so I can only squeeze a smile: "General Pei." It's cold at night, and the crown princess should not sit on this vent. "

It was quite cold, so I wrapped my cloak and asked Feizhao, "Do you have a wife?"

Pei Zhao seemed to be slightly startled: "I haven't married yet."

You, the Central Plains, pay attention to the life of your parents and the words of the matchmaker. In fact, this is the worst. If we in Xiliang are in love, as long as we catch a pair of geese, wrap them in cloth, and send them to the girl's house, it can be regarded as a marriage proposal. As long as the girl is willing, the parents can't 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 raised my head to look at the stars and couldn't help sighing: "I really miss Xiliang." Actually, I know that I don't want Xiliang, I'm just very sad. Whenever I feel sad, I think of Xi Liang.

Pei Zhao's tone was very gentle: "It's windy here, the Crown Princess should go back to the palace." I'm listless: "I don't want to go in, Zhao Liangdi is inside, if Li Chengyin is awake, he will definitely not want me to run in to disturb him. They. Now he's 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 took two steps sideways and stood beside me side. I was too lazy to talk to him anymore, so I held my chin and started thinking wholeheartedly, if Li Chengyin gets better and knows that Zhao Liangdi has been wronged, he will be very happy for a while. At that time, Zhao Liangdi could restore her identity as Liangdi, and in this East Palace, I became a hated person again.

At least, Li Cheng Yin's hatred.

I was so confused that 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 okay to let Zhao Shuren stay here for too long BbS.jooYOO.nET, the servant has already ordered someone to send her back." I sighed.

Yong Niang could see what I was thinking, and whispered in a whisper: "Prince Concubine, please rest assured, the servants have been standing in front of His Highness, Zhao Shuren didn't say anything, just cried." I don't care what she said to Li Chengyin , because even if she doesn't say anything to Li Chengyin, Li Chengyin still likes her.

Pei Zhao bowed to me and saluted: "At this time of day, please take care of the crown princess." I stood up lazily and said to him, "I'll go in now." At this time, a gust of wind blew on me, and it really felt very cold, but I didn't feel it just now. I suddenly remembered that it was because Pei Zhao happened to be standing on the tuyere, and he blocked the wind for me.

I couldn't help but look back, Pei Zhao had already retreated to the bottom of the steps. He probably didn't expect me to look back, so he was looking at my back. When I turned my head, I happened to meet his eyes. His expression was a little uncomfortable, as if he had done something wrong, and he quickly looked away. Look at me.

I couldn't care less about why Pei Zhao was so weird. As soon as I stepped into the hall and saw everyone's frowning faces, I was also frowning.

I couldn't care less about why Pei Zhao was so weird. As soon as I stepped into the hall and saw everyone's frowning faces, I was also frowning.

Li Chengyin was still in a coma. The imperial doctor's words were very euphemistic, but I also understood.

I don't know what to do. Li Cheng Yin's hand rested on the quilt, so pale that it was almost bloodless. I touched his hand, it was still cold.

I was so tired that I hadn't slept for several days. I sat on my feet and started chatting with Li Chengyin. I never talked to Li Chengyin like this before. We used to just focus on arguing. When was the first time I saw him? On the night of the big wedding, he lifted my hijab, which covered me all night, making me suffocated. As soon as the hijab was lifted, I only felt that my eyes were bright, and the candles were shining brightly on all sides, shining on his face, his people. He was wearing a black robe with many delicate patterns embroidered on it. A few months ago, under the supervision of Yong Niang, I memorized a copy of the "Ceremony" by heart, knowing that it was Xuanyi, Hushang, and Nine Chapters. The five chapters are on clothing, dragon, mountain, Chinese insects, fire, and Zongyi; the fourth chapter is on clothes, algae, powdered rice, silk, and silk. Weave it. White gauze in the single, sash collar, green jacket, 禩, 裾. Leather belts, golden hooks, large belts, plain belts not in vermilion, but also in vermilion green, New York used group. The color of the clothes follows the color of the clothes, and the two chapters of fire and mountains are also.

He wears a ceremonial crown with nine white pearls, with the group as the tassel, the color is like its sash, the green silk fills the ears, and the rhinoceros hairpin guides, the face is like a crown of jade, and the appearance is dignified.

The prince of the Central Plains, even dressed so well, I remember that when I recited "Ritual", it took me a long time to memorize this paragraph, because I didn't recognize many words.

I think I liked him at that time, but he didn't like me. Because after he lifted his hijab, he didn't even drink the wine, he turned around and walked away.

In fact, I was relieved when he left, because I didn't know if I could sleep well with a strange man.

Yong Niang was with me that night. She was afraid that I would miss home and that I would be angry. She explained to me again and again that His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, had a cold in the past few days because he was afraid of infecting the Crown Princess.

When he has a cold, it is three years.

In the East Palace, I am very lonely.

I came here all by myself, and although A’Du was with me, A’Du couldn’t speak. If Li Cheng Yin didn't quarrel with me, I think I would be more lonely.

Now that he is going to die, all I care about is his well-being. I have racked my brains to bring up the past. I am afraid that if I don't say anything to him again, if he dies, I won't be able to tell him again. I thought I had forgotten a lot of things, but I didn't. I even remembered the words I had quarreled and told him. Tell him how angry I was at the time, to death. But I pretended not to care. I knew that if I wanted to win the fight, Li Chengyin would be choked up by me only by pretending not to care.

There is also the matter of mandarin ducks and sashes, how many people laughed at me, and even the queen gave me a lesson.

I kept talking, and I didn't know why I said it, maybe it was because I was afraid, maybe it was because I was afraid that Li Cheng Yin really died. It was so quiet at night, the candlelight in the distance reflected on the curtains, the inner hall was deep and wide, everything seemed to be separated by layers, separated by the dark night, separated by the silent leaking sound, only I was there muttering to myself. .

In fact, I am really afraid of being a little widow. In our Xiliang, a woman whose husband has died wants to marry her husband's younger brother, like Princess Mingyuan, who went to the Central Plains to marry her. Originally, she married my uncle, and later remarried to my father. Although there is no such rule in the Central Plains, but when I think of Li Chengyin's death, I can't help shivering. If he dies, I will be even more sad than now. I quickly forced myself to stop thinking about it, and quickly forced myself to say those nonsense gossip.

In fact, I don't hate Li Chengyin as I thought. Although he always makes me angry, we had only a handful of private contacts in the past three years. Except for his troubles for Zhao Liangdi, we didn't have any. How many fights can be quarreled. Sometimes I don't quarrel, I still feel quite unaccustomed... And copying books, although I hate copying books the most, but because I was punished for copying too many books, now my writing in Zhongyuan characters is getting better and better. Because of being fined for copying books. Those "Women's Training" and "Women's Commandments" are so copied that I'm about to memorize them. There is one more thing that I didn't tell anyone, that is, there are many words in those books that I know too well, and I don't know how to read them, but I still draw a scoop and trace it out with a single stroke, and no one knows that I don't know how to read it. recognize that word.

Also, Li Chengyin's word "Yin" is actually quite strange. When I first saw it, I thought it was "Qin"... I never knew what the word meant. I heard that people from the Central Plains It's important to choose a name, how could he call it this name

Yinzhou…”

I've been talking to myself for most of the night, and it's rare for someone to talk to me. I couldn't stop asking, "Ah? What Yinzhou?"

Emperor Taizu originally sealed Yinzhou... the east of Zhongzhou, the south of Liangzhou... the land of Longxing... So... my name is Cheng Yin... "I opened my mouth and looked at the dying man on the bed, his voice was very small, but The words were clear, and he seemed to be sane. Although his eyes were half-open and half-closed, he was looking at me.

I was stunned for a long time, and finally jumped up and shouted: "Ah!" My voice must be very scary, because everyone rushed in with a hula la. The imperial doctor thought that Li Cheng Yin's injury was worse, and rushed up anxiously: "What's wrong, Your Highness?" What happened to Your Highness? "I pointed my finger at Li Chengyin, and my tongue was almost knotted:" He... he... "Where was Li Chengyin lying, looking at me blankly, the imperial physician was already crying with joy:" Your Highness woke up Now! His Highness is awake! Quickly send someone into the palace to report to His Majesty! His Royal Highness has woken up... "The whole East Palace is boiling, and everyone is in high spirits. The imperial doctor said that as long as Li Chengyin can wake up, the injury will definitely be gone. Seriously. At this moment, the people in the Taiyuan Hospital were very happy, all of them were smiling, and the people in the palace were like Chinese New Year, running around to tell each other. The imperial doctor took the pulse again, considered and re-written the prescription, walked around, buzzing like a nest of bees that had been disturbed, and the tossing and fussing made me want to sleep in the middle of the night.
