The side hall was very quiet, so quiet that Huo Qiu could even hear the startled sound in his blood, louder than louder, and when he finally managed to open his mouth to speak, he made a hoarse voice and asked with difficulty: "Is she Give me the pill that will extend your life"
That night when she scratched her face, when the plague was about to recede, she did put a elixir into her mouth, but was that the medicine for her life? With the curling mist in the air, she grinned and said, "It's not a big deal, I've reminded her thousands of times, she already knows the efficacy of this pill, and even more knows what this medicine means to her."
Huo Qiu's voice was so dry and hoarse that it was about to smoke, and the bracelet of Buddhist beads in his hand fell to the ground, and the beads rolled all over the floor. After a while, he raised his eyes and asked: "Mr. What medicinal materials are needed to come out, just mention it."
Jiang Jianxi shook his head, but smiled silently.
"Back then, in order to make this potion of medicine, Ye Yatou and I went deep into the mist and escaped death. That's how Xiaoxiao came into being."
"In this world, there is no ninth pill anymore."
Huo Qiu closed his eyes violently, and for a moment he felt that he couldn't stand still. He didn't manage to stabilize his figure until he supported the corner of the table. He asked in a hoarse voice: "She gave me the medicine. what consequences"
The pain and hardship that burst out from the man's words, like a sharp arrow, flashed across Jiang Jianxi's eyes, causing a bit of surprise.
The most ruthless emperor's family would actually care about a woman's life and death. He couldn't help but clicked his lips and added: "Your Majesty won't ask, does this medicine do you any good?"
For that small stove of medicine, he had to go through a lifetime of near-death, and in the end he got out of control and got caught, ruining his apprentice's innocence, and even gave birth to an extra daughter, bearing the stain of sin that could not be washed away in his life.
This medicine is naturally effective.
He seemed to be casually knocking on the armrest of the bench, and while carefully observing the man's expression, he said slowly: "Your Majesty should have felt the benefits of it, the inner breath is smooth, and the old injuries from the past have recovered one by one. There are many benefits."
Huo Qiu's eyes darkened and deepened following his words, and several ferocious veins burst out on the back of his hands one after another.
He can naturally feel the changes in his body.
But as long as I think about the price that woman paid, I feel a pain in my heart.
how can she
Without saying a word, as if nothing had happened, she completely kept him in the dark, and even naively thought that her infertility was due to an injury to her body.
In an instant, Huo Qiu suddenly recalled a lot of details, and the memory was like a surging tide, sweeping and covering, and many small things that he didn't care about before, are now like a small hammer, hammering into his bones one by one, life and death. It hurts.
Jiang Jianxi seemed to have not seen his suddenly darkened eyes, and said meaningfully: "As for the girl of the Tang family, Your Majesty does not need to feel guilty. I made it so clear to her at the beginning, but she still did it. her choice."
"Your Majesty should know that the girl of the Tang family was born in the womb, her fate is determined by the sky, and my behavior back then has already changed my fate against the sky."
The implication is that there is nothing he can do about it.
For that batch of medicine, he even tarnished his apprentice for no reason and ruined his fame for a lifetime. This could be regarded as a kind of retribution.
What people like them fear most is punishment from heaven and bad news.
Huo Qiu had a terrifying storm in his eyes, and finally asked repeatedly, "What will happen to her?"
Having said that, he no longer cared about whether he could have an heir, and a kind of panic from the heart made him unable to help but tighten the palms hanging on his sides.
I tried my best to catch something, but I couldn't catch anything.
Weakness, weakness that goes down to the marrow.
Jiang Jianxi stood up from the chair, faced the sullen king for the first time, raised his eyebrows leisurely, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much, although she gave you a pill, but I took it myself Two pills, as far as it is concerned, there is no problem."
"In the future, there will be no heirs, and the lifespan will be slightly reduced."
A trace of pity flashed across Jiang Jianxi's amber eyes, then he pursed his lips and left the side hall first.
At this time, Tang Zhuozhuo, who was waiting anxiously in the main hall, saw Jiang Jianxi, and couldn't help turning a cold face and standing up.
But Huo Qiu, who followed him into the side hall, did not follow him out.
Tang Zhuozhuo immediately lowered his voice and asked, "What did you say to the emperor?"
Jiang Jianxi looked at her complicatedly, turned his head and began to tease calmly, his voice was as clear as the drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River, and he said: "Girl, I have saved your life several times anyway, why don't you see me every time? I am always in such a defensive posture.”
"Being a teacher for a day and being a father for life is what you said."
Tang Zhuozhuo frowned lightly, recalling that dream again, and listening to the soundless footsteps, he said to Jiang Jianxi very softly: "I don't care what you are doing in Beijing, while no one notices now, hurry up Go, if things get serious, no one can protect you."
It was precisely because of his life-saving affection that she was afraid that he would fall into the muddy water, and it would be difficult to get out at that time. If she really fell into the situation in her dream, she would feel even more uncomfortable.
Although he always refused to acknowledge the master, there was still a bit of respect and gratitude in the interior.
Jiang Jianxi glanced at her with deep meaning, and finally threw out a jade-white porcelain vase from her sleeves with great reluctance, and before Huo Qiu entered the palace gate, she also lowered her voice and replied, "You shouldn't do it!" If you are strong, don't try it, you are half-level, and you are living in such a miserable situation, no one will believe that you are my apprentice."
"If you are married, you still insist on going your own way, and you don't say anything about what you do. If you have the ability, don't hide behind others and cry. Is it possible that Master will teach you to fight for favor?"
"Mix the medicine powder with water and take good care of it. Within two years, it is not advisable to conceive. If you don't listen to me this time, even if you die, I can't help it."
"I'll think about it when I go back. Your body has been able to hold on in recent years."
I'm afraid that after ten or eight years, my body will be completely empty, and there will be no cure for medicine and stone.
Tang Zhuozhao's eyelids twitched, and the jade bottle in his hand was already hidden under his sleeve, and he gave a very low thank you.
Jiang Jianxi snorted coldly, then bowed to Huo Qiu who came in, and left the Changchun Palace without looking back, dressed in a cool breeze, which couldn't be more chic.
Tang Zhuozhuo's heart trembled because of his last two words. Her almond pupils and beautiful eyes were full of deep surprise, and suddenly felt that the bottle of medicine was extremely hot, which scalded all the blood in her body. Stand still for a moment.
Jiang Jianxiyuan really has a way.
Her hanging heart these days quietly fell.
When Huo Qiu strode in, he immediately saw the little girl whose eyes were shining with water, she looked delicate and timid, standing behind the clanging bead curtain, half of her small face All glowing brightly.
He only felt his heart soften suddenly, and walked up to her three steps at a time, and only then did he want to say something, only to realize that his voice had already become hoarse.
Tang Zhuozhuo felt that the man's complexion was not right, so he cautiously probed, and stretched out two tender fingers in front of his eyes: "What did the emperor say just now?"
Huo Qiu's gaze seemed to be ice-cold, but also seemed to ignite a ball of flames. Before Tang Zhuozhuo could delve into the meaning of it, she was held tightly in his arms by the man.
"Jiaojiao..."
Tang Zhuozhuo reached out and stroked his thin shoulders, hesitatingly said softly: "Your Majesty, my concubine is here."
The wind outside swayed slightly, and the cold wind that blew up into the hall became completely warm.
The man's tall and clear body tensed a little, and he loosened his arms after a while. It was also at this time that Tang Zhuozhuo saw the blush under the man's sword eyebrows and starry eyes.
It's terrible, in this life and previous life, she actually got red eyes when she saw Emperor Chong Jian for the second time.
Tang Zhuozhao tightened his hands tightly, then stroked the man's brow lightly, trying to smooth out the wrinkle, but just as he touched it, Huo Qiu held it in his hand.
The two hands overlapped, and they fit together perfectly.
Huo Qiu's eyebrows were deep, and every word he asked seemed to exhaust all his energy, and he felt that his mouth was turning into blood foam. He clasped the woman's snow-white chin with one hand, and held it with the other. She held each other tightly, such an almost weird posture, but it just suited his mood at the moment.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Tang Zhuozhuo was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was talking about.
The ground dragon in the temple was burning hot, her skin was white and rosy, she looked extremely healthy, with a pair of beautiful eyes filled with spring water, she still had the same heartless appearance full of emotions.
Huo Qiu couldn't help frowning deeply, and asked repeatedly: "Why didn't you tell me anything?"
Tang Zhuozhuo listened carefully this time, slowly lowered his head, looked at the vivid embroidered surface on the shoes, raised his head after a while, looked straight into the man's slightly hostile eyes, and said in a soft voice: "The concubine is willing."
"The emperor always says that the concubine is the most delicate person in his heart, but in fact, the concubine also puts the emperor at the top of his heart."
How can there be so many reasons
It's just that she wants to.
The light words fell into Emperor Chongjian's ears, and he felt as heavy as Mount Tai, so heavy that every time he took a breath, he felt a little bit of shock.
"That night, what you fed me was what Jiang Jianxi left for you to save your life?"
Tang Zhuozhuo walked to the man's side, his eyes were like the silhouette of autumn water, he nodded slightly, then pulled his sleeves, smiling with a small face.
Huo Qiu lowered his eyes to look at her, and when he spoke again, his voice was rare with a trace of fragility, like gravel rubbing against the bluestone bricks outside, it was hoarse and low, and said: "I don't need you to care about me like this. .”
Thinking of the meaning of Jiang Jianxi's words, the man's expression turned ferocious.
His slightly callused fingers caressed Tang Zhuozhuo's delicate cheeks, his movements were unbelievably gentle, but every word used a lot of strength.
Tang Zhuozhuo knew the man's heart, and for a moment, he was extremely obedient, and his small face took the initiative to stick to the man's warm palm, rubbing lightly like a small animal.
Even if she didn't speak, those eyes were enough to make people's anger disappear, so Huo Qiu covered them with his hands.
"Jiaojiao, I value you more than anyone else."
including himself.
If he had known that there were so many mysteries hidden in that elixir, he would have been willing to suffer a serious injury and recuperate for a year or two, but he would never have made her pay such a high price.
