In the night when the fire was flickering, Pang Huang sat on the cushion next to Pang Zhijing, who was wrapped around him like an octopus and could not be pulled away.
Because he was soft-hearted for a while, he brought her back, which finally proved to be a trouble for him.
It was obvious that she had suffered from the cold and had a fever, and she was still wearing wet clothes, but there were no women in his entourage, so he couldn't change her clothes.
In the end, he could only use his inner strength to help her dry the clothes on her body.
"Master, the envoys of Nancang have arrived in the next town, when will we set off?" the subordinate asked.
Xiao Hou ordered, "Find a carriage and set off at dawn."
"Yes, master."
The fire was quietly burning, and there were guards patrolling all around. When Xiao Hou picked up the water bag and was about to unscrew it, he suddenly heard low whispers.
"I want to go home, Dad, Mom, I miss you so much—"
It came from the side.
He lowered his head, just in time to see Pang Zhijing, who was sleeping very uncomfortable, talking in a hoarse voice, his eyes fell on Wu Qing on her neck, and finally looked away.
"Invite Mr. Li." Xiao Hou said in a low voice.
Soon a man in his 30s or 40s came over with a medicine box on his back, and immediately looked at him, "My lord, are you not feeling well?"
"It's not this king, it's her." Xiao Hou said warmly.
Mr. Li was a little surprised when he saw the woman who was leaning against his lord. It was the first time in so many years that he saw a woman beside the lord. He didn't dare to delay. He immediately put down the medicine box and squatted down to give her a pulse.
"Don't touch me, I don't want to stay here, don't be with the devil—" Pang Zhijing unconsciously waved away Mr. Li's hand and rubbed the whole person against Xiao Hou's body.
Xiao Hou twitched the corners of his eyes, devil
Without hesitation, he stretched out her wrist and handed it directly to Mr. Li.
Seeing this, Mr. Li, who had never been able to touch Pang Zhijing, glanced at his prince in amazement, and then took it. He didn't dare to think about it, and carefully checked his pulse.
After a while, Mr. Li withdrew his hand, touched his beard, and looked a little weird, "My lord, the princess has a weak body, and after being soaked in the water for too long, she has contracted the wind and cold, and is currently a little feverish, but this is not important, as long as it is later. If you eat the soup and herbs brewed below and sweat, you will be able to get rid of most of the diseases, but—"
"Go on." This was what he expected, but Mr. Li's words caught his attention.
Mr. Li pondered for a while before sighing and said, "This Princess Nancang has a chronic and highly poisonous body, and it will develop within a year."
Xiao Hou was slightly taken aback, "What poison?"
"Nan Cang is a domineering poison that kills life." Mr. Li stroked his beard and shook his head. "It's not that there is no way to detoxify this poison. It's just that the method is very complicated, and I don't have that ability."
"How long has the poison been on her?"
"It should be two months."
Xiao Hou pondered for a while. It was exactly when she left Nancang on her mission to Xixuan that she was poisoned, and the toxin lurked for a year. At that time, her mission in Xixuan was almost completed.
He could suddenly understand why she said she didn't trust Pang Huang, maybe she didn't know that Pang Huang had poisoned her, but she was already wary of Pang Huang subconsciously.
And through this incident, he also indirectly learned about Pang Huang, who, in order to achieve the goal, does not compromise on the means, but the promise is also light.
It is indeed a qualified partner.
"There is one more thing." Mr. Li's words attracted Xiao Hou's attention, "The princess' leg injury was not that serious at first, even if she suffered several injuries later, it would not affect the later recovery, but her leg injury was not that serious. It has been delayed for so long, and it is because of external factors."
"What external cause?" Xiao Hou asked.
"Someone has manipulated the princess' medicine, or the medicine used by the princess cut corners, and the effect of 100% of the medicine can only reach 30%, which prolongs the recovery of the wound. According to this amount of medicine, it is estimated that the capital can be fully recovered."
Mr. Li's words made Xiao Hou look at Pang Zhijing involuntarily. He could only fully recover when he arrived in the capital. I'm afraid it was also what Pang Huang did to prevent her from escaping.
At this time, Mr. Li saw that he was lost in thought and did not dare to disturb him, so he went down to boil the medicine.
After the medicine was boiled, he waited for Pang Zhijing to take it, and Mr. Li withdrew.
"It's hot, it's hot—" The medicine started to take effect, and Pang Zhijing couldn't help pulling the cloak on her body, and finally threw the cloak aside. He found a comfortable position in his arms and fell asleep.
When Xiao Hou lowered his head, she had already slept soundly in his arms, her cheeks glowing pink due to the effects of the medicine, in such a dark night, she was like the flesh exuding a sweet smell.
I don't know who said it just now, to stay away from his demon, in the end, he ran in by himself.
He bent his lips and shook his head, trying to reach out and push her away, but at this moment, he felt that his whole body suddenly lost strength, the blood flow in his body slowed down, he could not help frowning and leaning against the tree trunk, slowly adjusting his breath , the person in his arms can't take care of it.
After a while, he opened his eyes again, the clothes on his back were soaked, but his breath had calmed down.
Over the years, his body has been close to normal, and he no longer suffers from illness, but he has a sudden attack today. Is it because of mood swings
He couldn't help lowering his head and looked at the person in his arms.
because of her
Although Pang Zhijing's life was not worth worrying about, but seeing such a sleeping innocent girl, her experiences overlapped with his own past one by one, which brought back memories of his youth.
He leaned against the tree trunk, looked at the night sky above his head, and suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth.
Fate has made a lot of tricks, it turns out that he and her are just pawns in the hands of God.
But he didn't believe it, he would be so useless and incompetent for the rest of his life.
No one can control his future.
The sleeping Pang Zhijing may not know that she will reach a cooperation with Xiao Hou so smoothly tonight, and get his leniency when she is ill, because he sees his own shadow in her.
Aggrieved and seeking perfection, lonely and proud, licking the wound alone.
In the Huguo Temple, everything was in harmony. Under the service of the maids, Chu Qingyan finished grooming and went to bed to rest when he was ready to read a book.
"This temple is really different from ordinary people's homes. It is clean and tidy without excess. The vegetarian food eaten has a unique flavor, but it is a bit bland." Xining said while wiping the table.
Chu Qingyan smiled and said, "It seems that you are very satisfied with the temple. How about I tell the masters to see if they still need apprentices and send you there?"
Xining immediately shouted, "Master, you should spare the slave, the slave wants to be with you forever!"
Everyone in the room couldn't help laughing.
Chu Qingyan shook her head and laughed. Out of the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of the guard standing not far from the window, and suddenly thought of something.
"I think I might have to go out tonight." She said in a very calm tone.
