Quan'an's panting sound was clearly discernible, and Tang Zhuozhuo could understand every word he said, but when they were connected together, she just felt dizzy, and if it wasn't for Mrs. Ye's caressing, she would really stagger.
The long corridor was brightly lit, Tang Zhuozhao and Ye Shi walked hurriedly, the sound of footsteps and the tragic singing of birds made it even more miserable, which exactly matched the mood of everyone at this time.
Li Desheng washed himself with mugwort leaves, and waited at the door, he didn't dare to let him get close to Huo Qiu's body, Liu Hanjiang was fine, and when Tang Zhuozhao and Ye Shi arrived, it was he who was changing the handkerchief.
Ye Shi and Liu Hanjiang looked at each other, then silently looked away, focusing on Huo Qiu.
Huo Qiu's complexion was unbelievably pale, and even the sickly rosiness had faded away. He frowned tightly, his body trembling a little, but the corners of his mouth kept bleeding, even thick black blood clots!
Tang Zhuozhao's hands trembled a little, and he probed his forehead, the temperature was hot.
She frowned, and even Mrs. Ye saw something, and said: "Your Highness's condition has deteriorated a lot."
Tang Zhuozhuo kept silent, put on Huo Qiu's wrist, nodded after a while and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the plague is already fierce, and your Highness's Gu poison can only be cured, the body is at the time of weakness."
At this moment, she suddenly realized something. In his previous life, Huo Qiu was poisoned by Gu poison, and later encountered plague, but at that time he had internal energy to support him, but now his internal energy is stagnant, and it will take more than half a month to recover.
Facing the plague, all he can rely on now is this body and his own will.
Tang Zhuozhuo felt a pain in his heart. What if he... can't make it through this time, and he can't even wait for the life-threatening medicine given by Suqian in his previous life, what should he do
The room was very quiet for a while, and everyone was thinking about it. Huo Qiu was the backbone of everyone. Now that the backbone has fallen, all eyes are on Tang Zhuozhao.
Hope she can find a way.
All the pressure was on Tang Zhuozhao's shoulders, she took a deep breath, and wiped off the blood clot overflowing from Huo Qiu's mouth bit by bit, her slender fingers trembled slightly, which was barely visible.
At such a moment, she couldn't show a trace of depression and helplessness.
But who are those present? Needless to say, Mrs. Ye, after following Jiang Jianxi for a long time, can see the specific situation at a glance. Liu Hanjiang is even more human, and nothing can be hidden from his eyes.
Tang Zhuozhao looked at the man on the bed, and put the wet handkerchief on his forehead, his eyes gradually softened.
Being Jiaojiao at the top of his heart for so long, he doted on him uncontrollably, and all kinds of petty tempers were laughed off by him. How can she be an unreasonable piece of wood? No matter how unconscionable he is in his mouth, he is always moved in his heart.
Your Highness, just wait and see, the Jiaojiao you are used to pampering can also be alone.
The smell of medicine in the room made her feel a little dizzy. She rubbed the center of her brows with her hands, not daring to look at his emaciated face again.
"His Royal Highness can't last long like this. When the morning dawns, I will take people up the mountain to collect medicine." Tang Zhuozhuo closed his eyes and said.
The medicine Xuncao comes from the mountains and forests of Xijiang, rather than waiting for someone from the capital, it is better to take someone to look for it.
It's luck to find it, but it's God's will if you can't find it.
Tang Zhuozhuo thought of Suqian in the previous life again. In this life, will she come on time with the life-threatening medicine
Before the accident happened, as long as she thought of this man, she felt bad, but seeing Huo Qiu lying on the bed and spitting out black blood, she felt that as long as she could bring the medicine to kill her, she would give her all the glory and wealth. .
It's just that she definitely won't ask her to go back to Beijing with Huo Qiu!
Ye Shi was surprised for a moment, looked at Liu Hanjiang, frowned and asked: "Mother, the mountains are dangerous, and we don't have any prescriptions, so finding any herbal medicine is a problem."
There is no need to take this risk in vain.
Ye thought Tang Zhuozhao saw that Huo Qiu lost his sense of control and began to go to the doctor in a hurry, so he could only sigh in his heart.
Tang Zhuozhuo shook his head, very calmly, and spoke in a clear and orderly manner, his eyes gliding over the two of them: "The palace has listed the prescription, but there is a very important herbal medicine missing, and the rest of the medicines have been prepared. "
Ever since she remembered this, she had sent someone to gather all the medicines for blindness, and now, only the main medicine of Xuncao was left.
Because it is the main medicine, it cannot be replaced by others, and we can only search slowly.
Hearing this, Liu Hanjiang breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his fists and said, "I'll leave it to you, Madam, I will send a team of elite soldiers to follow Madam up the mountain, please do what you can, don't force it."
After all, he is Huo Qiu's staff, and he is most concerned about Huo Qiu's body. Now that he finally sees a glimmer of hope, he will naturally not hesitate to stop him.
At this time, Mrs. Ye also lowered her head and pulled her hair, with a warm and delicate voice, she shook Tang Zhuozhuo's white-haired and cold hand, and said, "My wife also went into the mountain with my mother."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Tang Zhuozhuo to speak, he continued: "Master, the lady also knows that, living in the mountains all the year round, the ministers and wives have learned a lot over time, which can help the lady."
Tang Zhuozhuo glanced at Liu Hanjiang, who just frowned and told Ye Shi: "Be careful in everything and protect your mother."
Then she nodded at Mrs. Ye.
Because she has a clear heart, Ye's position to Liu Hanjiang is equivalent to her position in Huo Qiu's heart, if he refuses to allow, she will absolutely not take Ye's up the mountain.
And so it settled down.
In the middle of the night, Mrs. Ye went back to prepare the things to bring up the mountain tomorrow, while Tang Zhuozhuo sat on the edge of Huo Qiu's bed, staring at the steaming tea in a daze.
The incense in the room has long been unable to suppress the extremely strong herbal smell, not to mention the rusty smell of blood mixed together, making the room even more dull and depressing.
Tang Zhuozhuo shrugged his nose, and after smelling it, he got used to it, and didn't find it as unacceptable as it was at the beginning.
After sitting for a long time, her body felt a little numb, and after she moved a little, Huo Qiu opened her eyes.
The blood in the deep sword eyes was getting thicker, he coughed for a while, took a few sips of the tea handed by the woman, and asked hoarsely, "Why are you still staying here?"
Tang Zhuozhuo blinked his eyes, hooked his exposed forearm as usual, his eyes slightly bent into a crescent shape, and said softly: "I'm waiting for His Highness to wake up, wait and wait, Your Highness just Did you open your eyes?"
Huo Qiu's eyes were deep, and he twitched the corners of his mouth, gently caressed the corners of her reddened eyes, and said, "Why are you crying? You are so stupid."
This is not the first time he called her stupid, but Tang Zhuozhuo felt very heartwarming. When the corner of her mouth puckered, big golden peas fell into his palm.
Feeling ashamed, Tang Zhuozhao buried his little head in his arms and rubbed it again and again, extremely restless.
In the end, she raised a pale peach blossom face, rested her thin chin on his haircut, grabbed his clothes and threatened viciously, crying with a deep nasal voice, "I cried just now, Your Highness just lie down!" Just ignore my concubine on the bed, and my heart aches from crying."
Huo Qiu felt a sudden pain in his heart, and he frowned sharply. Looking at the corners of her red eyes, he knew that she must have been crying for a long time.
Tang Zhuozhuo kept silent about the news that she would enter the mountain tomorrow morning. She knew that if she mentioned it now, she would really make this man detained and unable to go anywhere.
Huo Qiu swallowed the violence that came out of being framed in his heart, and softly coaxed the aggrieved squeamish in front of him with a hoarse voice, saying: "Jiaojiao is like this, even if I close my eyes, I feel distressed."
So he definitely won't have an accident, leaving her alone in this world to suffer the cold and persecution, even if he really closes his eyes, he won't be reconciled.
This was the first time a man said such explicit love words, Tang Zhuozhuo stopped crying, and his ears turned red quietly.
"Your Highness, don't worry, there is such a genius doctor as my concubine, and I will definitely cure His Highness's illness." There were still two strings of tears on her extremely bright hibiscus face, but she smiled and comforted at this moment.
Huo Qiu didn't speak, but felt that her forced smile was more unbearable than the physical pain.
At dawn, Huo Qiu coughed up some blood clots again, then fell asleep exhausted, Tang Zhuozhuo got up lightly.
Outside, Mrs. Ye changed into light clothes, saw Tang Zhuozhuo smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my wife went back and checked the medical records. Most of the weeds grow in the secluded places of the Xijiang Mountains and forests, and there are quite a few of them. Let us There are a lot of people, so they will naturally be found."
Tang Zhuozhuo smiled far-fetchedly, he didn't close his eyes all night, and looked extraordinarily tired. After listening to Mrs. Ye's words, she just nodded and didn't say anything.
Having said that, but the mountain is so big, and all kinds of ferocious beasts emerge one after another, how difficult is it to meet a few small grasses hidden in the mountain
It's just a matter of luck, just a fluke.
Tang Zhuozhao went back to the house and took the insect repellent powder that he had asked someone to prepare early, and tied up his hair like a waterfall of blue hair. In the first light of the morning, it was as fresh as a flower bud that just opened.
Li Desheng had a mournful face, and the more he saw them waiting in full force, the more nervous he felt, especially when he knew that the master had decided to go up the mountain without consulting His Highness, he felt even more nervous.
In the past, when the master Jiaojiao complained about the pain, His Highness's face would sink for a long time, but if anything happened up the mountain, even if it was just a scratch, the master would not spare them when he woke up.
But now that the situation was in front of him, he couldn't even open his mouth to persuade him.
"Take care of Your Highness, and discuss with Mr. Liu if you have anything to do." Tang Zhuozhuo looked at the sun, turned around and ordered.
Seeing Li Desheng nodding his head with a bitter face, Tang Zhuozhuo followed Ye Shi into the mountain without looking back.
The mountains are continuous mountains, rugged and difficult to walk. After all, Tang Zhuozhao and Ye Shi couldn't keep up with their bodies, and they lost their steps when they walked halfway, and there were fine beads of sweat on their foreheads.
Tang Zhuozhao stopped to take a few breaths, Ye Shi also stopped when she saw this, walked to her side and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to stop for a rest?"
Tang Zhuozhuo shook his head, calmed his breath, and said, "We only have one day, don't delay, let's go."
Every moment she delays, Huo Qiu suffers an extra moment, how can she stop
Seeing her stubborn appearance, Mrs. Ye could empathize with her. If it was Liu Hanjiang who was infected with the plague, she might not be as calm as Tang Zhuozhao now.
There is only one road up the mountain, and a sheep farm road leads directly to the top of the mountain. The gurgling mountain spring water gushes out from the small gaps, and the humidity hits the face, making it even more gloomy and cold.
Most of the grass grows in the middle of the mountain. Tang Zhuozhuo has read a lot of medical books and has a general understanding of what it looks like. He searched for it while walking, and at the same time asked the guards in front to compare it with the drawings.
The trees on the mountainside are a little sparser, and when you look up, you can only feel that the top of your head is covered by a layer of thick fog. All kinds of trees and grasses are thriving, and when they are mixed together, they become a deep green.
Tang Zhuozhao wiped the sweat off her head, and the mountain wind blew on her body, she shivered slightly, her bones were blown cold.
I thought it was simple before. Only when I really stand on the mountain and look at the green mountains and plains can I feel the deep depression.
Impossible to find!
Even so, Tang Zhuozhuo still suppressed the panic in his heart, nodded to Mrs. Ye, and said, "Senior Sister, let's search at both ends, it will be faster this way."
Ye Shi naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
This search took half a day, Tang Zhuozhuo was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist, when he was about to give up, he caught sight of a small clump of emerald green leaves on the top of the hill by accident.
The water droplets on the leaf veins were crystal clear, and a small clump swayed in the wind. It was clearly the xun grass that she wanted to take back with her heart!
Tang Zhuozhuo looked happy, and he didn't dare to be negligent, and ran to Xuncao at a trot.
"It's really..." She murmured softly, and a big rock suddenly fell from the bottom of her heart.
With these grasses, she is fully sure that she can cure Huo Qiu's plague.
She just wanted to call someone, when she heard a mighty roar, Tang Zhuozhuo slowly raised her eyes, meeting a pair of emotionless animal pupils.
It was a bear covered in brown and black, its four legs landed on all fours and roared and shook the mountain. Tang Zhuozhao froze. Scarlet blood.
She was not far away from the guards, and the roar of the brown bear would definitely startle them. Tang Zhuozhao closed his eyes tightly, and his teeth trembled slightly.
She took out a bag of finely divided powder from her bosom and shook it in front of her body. The brown bear seemed to be irritated by something, and it was very crazy. Seeing her actions like this, she felt even more provoked, and rushed over with a roar.
Tang Zhuozhuo was hit and rolled a few times, during which time he protected his head firmly, the animal was red-eyed and wanted to rush over again, but because of the powder inhaled, the movement was obviously a little slower.
At this moment, a sharp arrow that pierced the air like a shooting star shot straight into the brown bear's left eye, warm blood rushed out, and then two more arrows pierced through the air, piercing the brown bear's belly two holes.
In a trance, Tang Zhuozhuo felt as if all the bones in his body had been crushed. He raised his eyelids and saw a man with a black cloth on his face holding a bow and arrow. A dragon emblem was engraved on the black robe. .
It was Xuan Longwei who followed.
At this time, Mrs. Ye also heard the news and rushed over. Seeing her appearance, her face paled with fright, and she carefully pulled her up halfway, "Mother..."
Tang Zhuozhuo gasped a few times, raised his finger vigorously, and pointed at the hazy area: "Xuncao... take them all back."
Seeing the blood winding on her face, Mrs. Ye's heart sank. The delicate face of the princess was scratched by the branches along the road, leaving an inch-long scar.
Most likely it will leave a mark.
Tang Zhuozhao only felt pain all over his body, and his eyes quickly darkened. He gritted his teeth and held on, grabbed Ye Shi's hand and said: "The prescription is in my room... and... plus the medicine osmanthus is ground into powder, and boiled with grass. Juice... drink it while it's hot, and the plague will be cured."
Mrs. Ye didn't know what was going on in her heart at this moment, the face of the little girl in her arms was slapped with blood, her voice was extremely low and thin, and she waited for her answer.
"I've made a note of it, let's go down the mountain now, and my lady don't talk anymore."
Tang Zhuozhuo sighed softly, couldn't bear it anymore, closed his eyes and passed out.
