Views:

Li Hong's face was pale. With the support of a member of Shinhwa, he slowly knelt on the ground. He stared at the dying Bai Lu and Xiao Han. Tears began to roll in his eyes. He raised his head and looked at the towering trees, hoping to turn back the tears. Go back, but the water is still flowing down the corner of your eyes.

Taking a deep breath, he lowered his head and stroked their blood-stained cheeks with both hands, but Li Hong didn't know how to speak to them.

"I don't... cry... I don't cry." Bai Lu forced her gloomy eyes to open wider. She struggled for a long time with her blood-stained hands, but still couldn't lift them up.

"Is there any hope?" Li Hong choked with tears in his eyes.

"Master... slave... I will serve you in my next life." Xiaohan tried his best to squeeze out a smile, but on his face covered with blood, he looked miserable and helpless.

"Back to Your Highness, there are several wounds on the vitals. Really..." a member of Shinhwa whispered.

"Go down, everyone, please leave. I want to stay with them for a while." Li Hong said with sobs.

Tears blurred his vision, preventing him from seeing clearly the clear cheeks of Bai Lu and Xiao Han. He knelt in front of their heads. Regardless of the injury on his left shoulder, which was starting to bleed again, he struggled to hold their heads into his arms. inside.

Shinhwa on the side looked at the prince's small figure, and despite the fact that his entire left arm was stained red with blood, he was struggling to move the heads of the two palace maids. He just squatted down and wanted to reach out to help.

"Get out!" Li Hong said coldly. He had no choice but to carefully retract his hand, slowly retreat to a far distance, and surround the master and two servants with others.

Li Hong stretched out his legs with great effort and sat on the ground. Together with Bai Lu and Xiao Han, they tried their best to put their heads on their legs.

Tears flowed freely from Li Hong's cheeks, and the crystal clear tears were like a curtain of jade beads, hitting the blood-stained cheeks of Bai Lu and Xiao Han. Suddenly, the blood-stained cheeks seemed to bloom with a coquettish blood flower.

"Master, don't... cry, slave... I am very... at ease." Xiao Han tried his best to reach out a hand to grab Li Hong's hand and said intermittently.

"I won't cry, I really don't cry. As long as I can look at you... I won't cry." Li Hong let his tears flow, blurring his eyes and looking down at the blurred Bailu and Xiaohan.

Bai Lu smiled sadly with tears in her eyes, looking at the blood flowing from Li Hongzuo's shoulder: "Master... slave girl, I'm sorry... Bai Chun will definitely... scold slave girl... Master... is hurt, they... they will be very distressed..." "

"Stop talking about Bai Lu, I don't care. They won't blame you. You are all my good slaves." Li Hong felt as if he had lost the whole world. He had been pampered by them since he was a child and was very satisfied with their service. I can't live without them.

"Master... I will... serve you... in my next life..." Bai Lu continued to say intermittently, but looking at Li Hong's injured shoulder made her heartache, but she was helpless.

"Master... slave... slave, it hurts... help... help slave..." Xiao Han begged Li Hong with his gray eyes.

Li Hong looked at Xiaohan and then at Bai Chun, sobbing and nodding. His hands were already covered with blood from both of them, which was still flowing out.

"Ah..." Li Hong looked up to the sky and screamed.

Welfare and Wutian behind him slowly knelt down beside Li Hong. After Li Hong calmed down, he took out two black pills and stretched them out to Li Hong.

"Master, there is no pain, they will soon..."

Li Hong bit his lips tightly, let go of Xiaohan's hand tremblingly, took the pills handed over by Wutian, looked at them in his hand, and fed the two pills to Bai Lu and Xiaohan with his eyes closed.

In just a few breaths, Li Hong felt that his head on his legs suddenly became heavier...

When Li Hong opened his eyes, he saw his mother's ever-concerned eyes. There were several familiar people standing beside the bed, including Hua Meng, Jingzhe, Mang Zhong, Cheetah, Xiaoxue and Xia Zhi.

Bai Lu and Xiao Han were dead. Li Hong closed his eyes again. He didn't want to wake up. When he saw Xiao Xue and Xia Zhi, he would think of Bai Lu and Xiao Han.

"Hong'er, are you feeling better?" Wu Mei asked softly as she watched Li Hong open his eyes, scan around them, and then close them again.

"Mother, hug... ah." He was about to get up and act coquettishly to forget the pain of losing Bai Lu and Xiao Han, but as soon as he moved his left arm, he felt a heartbreaking pain.

"Okay, okay, my mother will give you a hug." Wu Mei hurriedly held down Li Hong's uninjured shoulder to prevent him from struggling.

Then he sat on the edge of the bed, leaned down, held Li Hong's head in his arms, and said softly: "You little bastard, you scared the queen to death!"

"Mother, let Xiaoxue and the others go out. I don't want to see them now." Li Hong said with a buzzing voice as he was squeezed by Wu Mei's towering figure.

Wu Mei stood up, let go of the little thing's head, tapped her forehead with her index finger and said, "You are the Crown Prince, how can you be so rude."

"What's the matter? Father, you still have time to cry." Li Hong's eyes were still swollen like peaches.

The first time he opened his eyes, Xiaoxue, Xia Zhi and others who were already kneeling beside the bed all had red and swollen eyes.

Wu Mei shook her head helplessly and looked at the master, then looked at the slaves kneeling on the ground, sighed and said: "You know they love you, but you still let them out? These people have been keeping an eye on you these past two days. ”

"Then where are we now?" Li Hong lifted up the quilt that originally covered his head with one hand and asked, looking at Wu Mei's gentle cheek.

"You are so lucky to be in Zongsheng Palace. Sun Shenxian happens to be here. Otherwise, if I wait until I return to Taiyi City to treat your injuries, I'm afraid your arm will be useless." Wu Mei personally held the medicinal soup. Seeing Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue getting up, they couldn't be more cautious and helped Li Hong up to do it.

Her lips were not very chapped. It seemed that when she fell asleep, someone kept moistening her lips. It was rare for her to be so pampered by Wu Mei, so someone cooperated with Wu Mei and drank the soup in the bowl one mouthful at a time.

"It's so bitter, it's not meant for people to drink." Li Hong complained immediately as he watched Wu Mei put it in the medicine bowl.

Wu Mei turned back and glared at him: "You're starting to feel uncomfortable right after you wake up, right?"

"Hey, get up." Li Hong gave Wu Mei a prelude smile, and then said to the kowtow bugs kneeling on the ground.

Wu Mei sat in front of the bed, looking at this little man, feeling both relieved and disappointed. As the saying goes, people are more irritating than others, but when this boss compared with those three, those three were just... impossible to look at.

Regarding yesterday's assassination, Wu Mei was suspicious of everything Li Hong showed. I'm afraid even if it were her husband Li Zhi, he might not be as calm, so composed, so brave and confident as Li Hong was yesterday. Although At the end, he fainted from crying.

"Where's Bai Chun?" A trace of murderous intent loomed in Li Hong's brows.

Wu Meihu pulled Li Hong's face. The bad boy's evil smile at the corner of his mouth and his cold eyes were like Shura's, which gave people a chilling feeling.

"Back to Your Highness, Bai Chun went out yesterday. She asked her servant to tell you that the murderer will be found within three days." Xia Zhi stood there, looking at Li Hong with concern, and whispered.

"What about the Lawless and Wutian people? Can't you tell based on their experience? Ask them what they do for food! If 'Mythology' is only at this level, I don't think it is necessary to exist. It's just a little bit worse. , If they come a step later, they will have to collect my body... Oops." Li Hong was not satisfied with yesterday's lawless rescue.

Wu Mei slapped her on the forehead, and she had no taboo in speaking. How could she curse herself like this

"Welfare and Wutian disappeared after sending you to Zongsheng Palace yesterday. They just said that these people did not come from Taiyi City, Chang'an or Lantian. They said that they might have just arrived today and came to the scene. Look, they didn't plan it very carefully, it seemed like they arranged it hastily..."

"Nonsense, everyone knows that the scene like yesterday was hastily arranged. Who is so stupid? He didn't use a sword to assassinate, but he used a horizontal knife to assassinate! If it hadn't been for yesterday... oh, I won't say it anymore."

Wu Mei looked at Li Hong worriedly. His cheeks, which were a little bloody just now, turned a little pale because of what he said. She tugged on Li Hong's ears, which were leaning in her arms and being squeezed by him.

The knock on the door alarmed several people in the house. Xia Zhi hurriedly ran to the door and opened it. It was Sun Simiao who was an immortal, calm and distant person.

"The old Taoist has met the Queen and the Crown Prince." The old Taoist walked in slowly and looked at the two of them and said.

"Sun Shenxian is so polite, I'll give you a seat at Xia Zhi." Wu Mei sat motionless, still holding Li Hong in her arms.

Li Hong wanted to move, but he could only move one shoulder, which was still being held by Wu Mei, so he nodded to Sun Simiao.

Xia Zhi placed a soft chair in front of the bed, and Wu Mei supported Li Hong in her arms against the head of the bed, then sat down on another chair.

"Thank you, Queen." Sun Simiao smiled and thanked her.

Then he stretched out his hand and began to feel the pulse of Li Hong, who took the initiative to stretch out his arm. About tea time, the hand as skinny as a tree branch let go of Li Hong's hand, looked at Wu Mei and said: "Your Highness is blessed to the sky, plus you are here." With your majesty’s protection, it’s no longer a serious problem, just heal the wound.”

"So many Sun Immortals." Wu Mei said with a smile.

"Young man has met Sun Shenxian." Li Hong blinked at Sun Simiao.

When Wu Mei arrived at Zongsheng Palace yesterday, she already knew from Xiaoxue that Sun Simiao and Li Hong had met unexpectedly a few days ago.

So she didn't find it strange to see Li Hong wink at Sun Simiao playfully.

Wu Mei didn't know whether she was happy or worried about this prince who could get along with everyone and was not afraid of strangers or put on any airs. There is a world of difference between this and the two people in the palace, Li Xian and Li Zhe, who occasionally flirt with cats and dogs, and tease the palace maids, but seem restrained when meeting outsiders.
