When Mrs. Ye and his party came back, the sun was setting, and the rosy clouds were spreading into pieces of brocade, which was almost magically beautiful.
Huo Qiu was in a daze of fever, the high fever persisted, and nothing could be done. Fortunately, the herbal medicine that Tang Zhuozhao ordered had an analgesic effect, so it was not so painful.
After changing the handkerchiefs again, both Liu Hanjiang and Li Desheng were a little restless, staring in the direction of the mountain pass frequently in ecstasy.
Liu Hanjiang didn't shake his fan any more. Even though the yard was shaded by trees and it was very cool, he was sweating profusely.
Not to mention Li Desheng, worried at both ends, turned back and forth a few times and said to Liu Hanjiang: "The princess should be stopped, this mountain is the most dangerous, two women go up the mountain, and they have no strength to restrain the chicken, if something happens , but how can I explain to His Highness?"
It would be fine if she came back safe and sound, but just in case, the princess is a very wealthy person, if something happens, it will be hard to explain not only the master's side, but even the capital.
It's all my fault that I was confused for a moment and went to the doctor in a hurry.
But Liu Hanjiang pursed his lips and did not speak. Seeing that the sun was getting smaller and smaller until the last ray of light was left, he finally couldn't sit still, and ordered in a deep voice: "Send another team up the mountain."
But at this moment, a noisy voice came from the back mountain pass, Li Desheng and Liu Hanjiang looked at each other, and walked up quickly at the same time.
But when they got to the front and saw the situation clearly, their hearts felt cold, and a chill rushed from their backs to the Tianling Gai.
Ye's body was stained with a lot of black and dirty mud. When she saw Liu Hanjiang, her eyes turned red immediately. She choked up and turned sideways, saying: "Your Majesty found a clump of weeds, and when she was about to collect herbs, she was killed by a bear. He was injured and passed out."
Li Desheng turned pale with shock, and when he looked behind her, he saw Tang Zhuozhao being carried by the guards. The latter's face was covered with blood, and the collision of white and red was particularly touching. He was lying on a makeshift cloth shelf, his life and death unknown, and his breathing was weak.
"This... this..." Li Desheng couldn't speak very sharply anymore, he calmed down and hurriedly ordered: "Go and call the imperial physician!"
When An Xia and Zihuan changed Tang Zhuozhao's clothes and helped him to lie down on the bed, they only shed tears when they saw the basin of faint blood. I dare not even look at it.
The master is such a beauty-loving person, who can often look at the mirror for a long time and appreciate it for a long time. If he wakes up later and finds out about it, it will be so unacceptable.
An Xia had been by Tang Zhuozhao's side for a longer period of time, and her feelings were deeper. Seeing Doctor Li shaking his head and sighing while stroking his beard, An Xia couldn't help but let out a low sob from his throat.
Mrs. Ye didn't feel any better, she just changed a piece of clothes and rushed over, frowning when she saw this situation, she asked: "Mr. Li, is there something serious about the Crown Princess's health?"
Doctor Li sighed, and said bluntly: "Ma'am, there is nothing serious about the body of the Crown Princess Concubine, only some scratches and injuries are fine, just drink some medicine to recuperate."
"It's just..." He paused, feeling very emotional: "It's just that the scratches on this face are really serious, and there may be scars left."
Ye's breath stagnates, although Yuan also guessed it, but hearing the imperial doctor say this, he felt even more uncomfortable.
Liu Hanjiang and Li Desheng were guarding Huo Qiu's bed at the moment, feeding the freshly brewed medicine to Huo Qiu to drink, and he and Liu Hanjiang walked out of the room when the medicine juice in the bowl was drained.
The stars are twinkling in the night, looking very blurry and hazy, as beautiful as a dream, but now, no one is in the mood to appreciate it.
The sound of crows, the cold came, Liu Hanjiang kept guard for two days and two nights, finally saw that the medicinal juice had taken effect, the temperature on Huo Qiu's forehead dropped a little, and he was in the mood to go back to his yard for a short rest .
Mrs. Ye was sitting at the small stone table in the courtyard, with her head down, wondering what she was thinking, seeing him back, she just smiled forcedly.
"Husband has been tired for two days, let's go to the house and rest for a while." She said to Liu Hanjiang with a voice like water.
"No hurry." He lifted his robe and sat beside her, his face was like a crown of jade facing the wind, and his every move was calm and graceful.
"I know you feel bad, but I can't blame you for this." Liu Hanjiang took Ye Shi's hand and rubbed it a few times, looking far away, said: "And this can't be regarded as a bad thing. After this incident, His Highness will surely If you really understand that the royal family has no family affection, you don't need to have any scruples in acting."
Mrs. Ye didn't know why, so after a while, she tentatively said: "My husband means that the plague this time is caused by His Highness Sixth Highness?"
Liu Hanjiang's eyes suddenly darkened, and he nodded and smiled after a while, "Yes, not all of them."
Mrs. Ye has never cared about the situation in the court. Seeing that Liu Hanjiang didn't want to say more, she didn't continue to ask. She just sipped her tea and said, "I'm afraid the scar on your mother's face will never heal. It's all my fault that I didn't call someone at the time." Follow her."
Liu Hanjiang rubbed her jet-black hair, and coaxed softly: "When I get back to the capital, there will be a solution, don't blame yourself."
When Huo Qiu woke up again, the night was dark, the crescent moon was hanging directly above the sky, and the bleak moonlight flowed into the yard like water.
The smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the room lingered for a long time, and the tears of the red candle kept swaying, and the heaviness in his mind dissipated little by little. Li Desheng stayed in front of the bed and dozed off. He heard the slight movement and opened his eyes. Seeing him wake up, Overjoyed: "Master, you are awake! Would you like some water?"
After sleeping for so long, his throat was indeed dry and hot. Huo Qiu took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and noticed the changes in his body.
Although the head is still a little dizzy, but there is no longer the feeling of powerlessness that cannot be moved, and the inner breath that was originally frozen has begun to flow slowly, nourishing the whole body.
"How long have you been sleeping alone?"
"Your Highness, it's the third watch now, and you've been asleep for four hours."
Huo Qiu nodded lightly, moved his fingers, his eyes were bloodshot but still deep, he stared at Li Desheng and asked: "The Crown Princess has developed a prescription?"
He frowned, sat up halfway, and looked around, but he didn't see that squeamish figure, and panic suddenly arose in his heart.
There was a fine layer of sweat on Li Desheng's forehead, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet to the back of his spine, which made him dare not look up at this master.
Unfortunately, Liu Hanjiang was not around at this time.
It's just terrible!
"Your Highness, it was the empress who tested the prescription." Li Desheng replied respectfully.
Huo Qiu moved his index finger slightly, remembering that little woman approached him charmingly during the day, saying that he, as a genius doctor, would not be troubled by the plague, but he never imagined that he would come up with a solution so quickly.
It was enough for her to be proud for a while.
His complexion gradually softened, thinking that she was tired and went back to the house to rest, and a faint sweetness overflowed from the tip of his heart for a moment.
In the past two days, it was really thanks to this Jiao Didi's sharp heart.
"That painting is still in the study?" Huo Qiu still had a soft smile on his face, and even his voice was extremely soft, only Li Desheng lowered his head a little.
The master is completely enraged!
"Returning to Your Highness, the painting was thrown into the brazier by the Crown Princess and burned. The empress said that it was because of that painting that His Highness contracted the plague."
Huo Qiu was a little surprised. She never expected that Tang Zhuozhuo's mind would be so sharp that she would be able to follow the clues to find the source without mentioning a word.
When he saw that painting for the first time, he only felt distraught, angry and hated, and his jealousy was uncontrollable, but he didn't expect Huo Qi to have such courage to take action, and when he recovered and realized something was wrong, he had already been hit.
He smiled coldly, coughed violently for a while, then waved his hands and said, "Where is Liu Hanjiang?"
"Sir, he stayed on guard for two nights until the imperial physician said that His Highness is out of danger, and then he will go back to the courtyard for a rest."
The more nervous Li Desheng was, the less he dared to look at Huo Qiu. Who is Huo Qiu? It was just a glance or two to see the clue, and asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"
Li Desheng's legs gave way, and he almost knelt down on the spot, his face pale. He could almost imagine how furious the master would be if the news from the crown princess reached the ears of the master.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Huo Qiu felt more and more intense in his heart, his complexion darkened, and the temperature of his whole body plummeted.
After all, he is very human, and after a little thought, he knew that the only thing that could make them so submissive and dare not speak out was about the little woman.
"Where is the Crown Princess?!" The coercion from which he really slumped, even the veteran officials in the court could not withstand it, let alone Li Desheng.
The anger in his voice was undisguised, Li Desheng didn't dare to hide it anymore, and answered honestly: "Niang Niang... Niang Niang is in Youqu Pavilion."
"What's up with her?"
Li Desheng answered carefully, swallowing every sentence he said, but he didn't dare to look at his expression at all.
"Your Majesty said that the herbal medicine to cure the plague still lacked a herb, but His Highness couldn't hold it anymore, so your Majesty ordered to go to the mountains to collect herbs."
Huo Qiu froze when he heard that he went up to the mountain to collect medicine. After a while, he raised his eyes and asked in a hoarse voice: "Did she pick the medicine that Gu ate from the mountain?"
Li Desheng nodded, lowering his head even more.
The fear in Huo Qiu's heart rippled. How did she come up with the idea of going up the mountain to collect herbs because she was so delicate that everyone could hold her in her arms
There are so many ferocious beasts, poisonous snakes and broken pits in the mountains, any of them can kill her. Leaving aside these for the time being, just thinking about the way she climbed up the mountain with a medicine basket on her back and the soles of her feet were rubbed with blisters, the violence in her heart will be overwhelmed. Can't hold back.
"Go on."
"Xuncao is hard to find, and I finally found it, but a brown bear jumped out. The lady was protecting the herb, and was knocked unconscious by the beast."
Huo Qiu slowly closed his eyes and didn't dare to listen any more. He only felt a dull pain in his heart, and that feeling of powerlessness was even stronger than lying on the bed and being unable to move.
"The imperial doctor has just seen it. The empress is still in a coma. She only said that there are some scratches. It's okay to take care of it..." Li Desheng swallowed, took a quick look at the expression of the master, and continued: " Just a scar on the face."
Huo Qiu overturned the teacup and the empty medicine bowl by the bed with his backhand, and said furiously: "Who allowed her to go up the mountain? You have eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard? Are you going to ignore Gu's words?!"
He took a rough breath, feeling distressed just thinking about that scene.
Distressed as hell!
Huo Qiu turned over and got off the bed, with ice on his cheeks in his middle clothes, and as soon as he went out, he met Liu Hanjiang who was walking towards him. Huo Qiu gave him a cold look, and went towards Youqu Pavilion without saying a word.
Seeing this, Liu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows, and followed behind obediently without asking any more questions.
I am afraid that they will inevitably be punished in the future.
It hurts so much before I saw it, if I saw it, I'm afraid that all the anger will be spilled on them.
Hey, the most difficult thing is the middleman.
After all, Huo Qiu had just recovered from a serious illness, no matter how strong his body was, he couldn't bear such exhaustion, but he had no time to take care of these things at all, his mind was full of that little woman who was used to pestering him and making a fuss.
When he really saw him, his mind went blank for a moment, and the next moment he wanted to give himself countless fists.
A two-inch-long centipede-like scar snaked across her fair and jade-like face, and there were countless deep and shallow scratches on the back of her hands.
He wished that Jiaojiao, whom he held in his heart, would become like this because of himself.
