The door opened, and the imperial physician ordered him to come out.
Concubine Zhen rushed to greet her: "How is Qiong'er?"
The doctor's order answered truthfully: "Weichen has helped the saint stop the bleeding, but the saint has lost too much blood and is still in a coma. At present, we can only wait and see. If he can wake up within twelve hours, his life should be saved." It'll be fine."
The implication is, do your best and obey the destiny.
Concubine Zhen asked tremblingly: "What will happen if you don't wake up within twelve hours?"
The Imperial Physician Ling sighed, and said in a heavy tone, "Then I will never wake up."
Concubine Zhen's complexion turned pale in a flash, and her whole body was on the verge of collapse.
She wanted to go into the house to see her son, but she stopped suddenly after walking two steps. She turned to Hua Manman, begging.
"I know Qiong'er is sorry for you, I dare not ask for your forgiveness, I just ask you to give him a chance for the sake of our sister's love."
Hua Manman: "What chance?"
Concubine Zhen: "If Qiong'er can wake up this time, I hope you can hold your hand high and spare his life. As a price, I am willing to use my life to pay off the debt for Qiong'er."
Hua Manman pursed her lower lip.
She didn't know what kind of answer to give.
After a brief silence, she spoke seriously.
"Believe it or not, in my heart, you have always been my sister.
I like your sister very much. "
Concubine Zhen smiled miserably: "I understand."
Hua Manman stood where she was, watching Concubine Zhen leave.
At this moment Li Ji came over.
He stood beside Manman, held her waist with one hand, looked at the imperial physician order, and asked.
"Is Li Qiong seriously injured?"
The Imperial Physician Ling replied honestly: "The porcelain chip punctured a blood vessel in his neck, and he almost died, but it is not much different from dying now, it depends on whether God is willing to let him live."
Li Ji didn't say anything more, and left the palace with Man Man.
On the way back, Hua Manman told Li Ji the conversation between herself and Concubine Zhen.
She asked what Li Ji meant.
"Do you think Li Qiong should be let go?"
Li Ji held her hand, because her body was too cold, her fingers were always icy cold, Li Ji would hold her hand whenever he had a chance, and warm her hand with his own body temperature.
His palm was warm and generous, and could wrap her hand completely.
He asked back, "Have you softened?"
Hua Manman tilted her head and thought for a while: "After so many things, my goodwill for Li Qiong has already been ruined by him, and he shouldn't be alive anymore, but I can't bear to make my sister sad."
Li Qiong is the only child of Concubine Zhen, and the relationship between mother and child is deep. Once Li Qiong dies, how will Concubine Zhen live
And the sisterhood between Man Man and Concubine Zhen, how should it continue
Hua Manman can't let go of this cruelty.
Li Ji took her into his arms and said softly.
"Don't worry about this little thing, I will arrange everything."
The carriage stopped at the gate of the Prince Regent's Palace.
Li Ji helped Manman get out of the car, but saw a familiar person standing at the gate.
It was Li Liao, Duke of Zhen.
Li Liao was still wearing silver-gray armor, because he hadn't taken care of his image for several days, his hair was a little messy, and a layer of light blue stubble appeared on his chin.
He frowned tightly, his eyes were covered with a layer of haze, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
Hua Manman called the Duke of the country.
"Why are you standing here?"
Li Liao raised his hand: "I'm here to ask the princess to help me."
Hua Manman was very curious: "How can I help the Duke?"
Li Liao frowned and said: "The chief of the county will make peace with me."
Both Hua Manman and Li Ji were taken aback.
"It's fine, how could there be such a sudden reconciliation?"
Li Liao lowered his head: "I am sorry for her."
How exactly I'm sorry, but he didn't want to go into details.
It's not easy for Hua Manman to ask about other people's housework, so he can only ask instead.
"Does the Duke want me to be a lobbyist, to persuade the Princess to change her mind and not to leave?"
But Li Liao shook his head: "No, I have already promised about Heli, and I have written Heli's letter to her. I am worried about her, and I am afraid that she will not think about doing stupid things, so I want to ask the princess to talk to her. .”
Hua Manman was even more surprised that he had already written the letter of divorce. It seems that the two couples are determined to divorce!
Li Liao bowed deeply to her and begged.
"Please, princess."
Hua Manman looked at the man beside him, and said in a low voice, "I'll go see the princess, you get along well with Goudan at home, don't quarrel."
This tone is like coaxing a child.
Li Ji looked at her amusedly: "I'll take you there."
Hua Manman: "No, you can stay and accompany the Duke."
Li Ji was not very willing.
During this period of time, he and Li Liao fought side by side, cooperated tacitly, and seemed to get along pretty well.
But in fact, the knot between the two always exists.
It's just that neither of them mentioned it.
Hua Manman took Li Ji's hand.
"Escaping won't solve the problem."
Li Ji replied sullenly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to resist beating him up."
Hua Manman smiled: "Then beat him up."
Instead of holding everything in her heart, she would rather Li Ji have a hearty fight with someone.
Li Ji stopped talking.
Hua Manman understood that he had acquiesced.
"Then I'll go first. I may not come back for dinner tonight, so you don't have to wait for me."
After she finished speaking, she let go of Li Ji's hand and walked towards the carriage.
Li Ji followed immediately: "I'll pick you up at night."
Hua Manman: "Let's talk about it, if it's too late, I'll stay in the Duke's mansion overnight, and save you from running back and forth."
Li Ji insisted, "I'll pick you up."
He deliberately emphasized the four words, and stared straight at Hua Manman, as if he would never give up until he reached his goal.
Hua Manman was helpless: "Okay, I listen to you."
The corners of Li Ji's mouth turned up immediately.
He bent down and picked up Man Man Da Heng, put her into the carriage, helped her close the cloak, and instructed.
"Take care of yourself, don't catch a cold, wait for me to pick you up at night."
Hua Manman hooked his fingers at him: "I have something to tell you."
Li Ji was originally standing by the side of the carriage. Hearing this, he raised one leg, stepped on the shaft, held the door with one hand, leaned his upper body forward, poked his head into the carriage, leaned in front of Man Man, and asked.
"What is it?"
As soon as he finished asking, he felt his lips soften.
He involuntarily froze, his eyes slightly widened.
When he came back to his senses, Manman had already backed away.
She smiled like a little kitten, with crooked eyes.
"It's okay, you can go."
Li Ji licked his lower lip, feeling unfinished.
He reached out to grab the woman's arm, and said in a dangerous tone, "You want to run after just kissing?"
Hua Manman shook off his hand, and reprimanded him righteously.
"In broad daylight, what do you want to do? Your Royal Highness, please pay attention to your image!"
