Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight

Chapter 162: Needle

Views:

The moonlight casts a frost-like brilliance, and the wind blows in front of the porch.

Tamara stood in front of the stone steps, with a face like a cold moon and cold blue eyes. He heard the voices of Yuanjue and Yaoying talking intermittently from the room behind him, and closed his eyes.

She is fine.

The chill was soaked up little by little, and he stood in the shadows that the moonlight and the lights couldn't reach, suppressing the sweetness that rushed to his throat, and his thoughts gradually calmed down.

The wrinkled waves in my heart slowly returned to peace.

With a loud bang, the courtyard gate was violently smashed open, and a tall man rushed in surrounded by personal soldiers. His brows were wrinkled and his expression was anxious. A gust of wind blew across the vestibule, and he stepped on the stone steps. It was the anxious gaze that met the gaze of Tamara, and the footsteps paused slightly.

"Alang!" The soldiers ran out of the house, "Qiniang is fine!"

Li Zhongqian's face was full of anxiety, he withdrew his gaze, walked in quickly, and asked, "What's going on? Why did Mingyue slave suddenly fall ill? Did Li Xuanzhen do something?"

The soldier replied: "His Royal Highness did not do anything, and even blocked a knife for Qiniang and was injured. I don't know what happened, Qiniang suddenly fell ill, and the disease was dangerous. How many doctors the Prince Regent invited to see, It's all useless... Fortunately, Qiniang has just turned the corner."

"Regent?"

Li Zhongqian glanced at the man standing outside the door, strode into the house, and rushed to the couch.

Yaoying was listening to Yuanjue say what happened under the high platform after she fainted, when she suddenly saw his gloomy face, she was stunned for a moment.

"Brother."

She whispered softly, a little guilty.

Li Zhongqian's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, his eyes were stern, and he waved his hand to signal everyone to step back.

"I'm fine." Yaoying said quickly, "Today was just an accident."

Li Xuanzhen blocked a knife for her. The punishment came and went quickly. She didn't remember anything at the moment.

Li Zhongqian didn't speak, he sat on the edge of the couch, looked at her for a while, and touched her forehead and palm.

His forehead was still cold, his palms were slightly warm, his pulse was steady, and he could feel the beating of his fingers.

"Are you still suffering?"

He put his dangling heart back, asked in a deep voice, his voice hoarse, and rushed over all the way, the cold wind poured in, as if a pair of scissors were twisting in his throat.

He would never forget the time when she fell ill. He invited doctors all over the place, and even went to Li De. All the doctors shook their heads and sighed, telling him that the medicine stone was useless, and persuading him to prepare for her funeral as soon as possible. He kept guarding her, calling her name and asking her to come back until she woke up.

Uncle is dead, A-Niang is crazy, he only has Mingyue Slave left, if she also leaves him, what else can he miss

Yaoying shook her head and said, "Brother, I'm much better. The Prince Regent has been taking care of me today."

She remembered watching singing and dancing under the stage before she fell into a coma, and Tamara was training at the Wang Temple, but she didn't expect to see him when she woke up, and he put on Sultan's costume again, wondering in her heart.

He just asked him a question, but he got up and left without saying a word.

Yaoying was confused and stared at Yuanjue next to her for a while, and asked him what was going on.

Yuanjue quietly wiped her tears, told her what happened after she fell into a coma, and told her that she had been in a coma until dark after the injury, and her pulse became weaker and weaker during this period. Bi Suo invited the doctors over and tried a lot Method, I almost bled her, and Tamara has been taking care of her.

Yaoying was stunned for a while.

When the killer assassinated her, how could Tamaroka appear so timely

Is he near Long Street too

He rarely leaves the Wang Temple, and he is still ill now, and he has the precepts of singing and dancing, why would he go to the market

A guess flashed through Yaoying's mind like lightning, but she wasn't sure.

No matter what, Tamara was watching over her today.

On the way back, Li Zhongqian had already heard the personal soldiers tell about the general experience. When Yaoying fainted, Sultan Gu was by her side.

I heard that the assassin was from Wang Ting, and it was related to the battle between Wang Ting and the court.

Li Zhongqian's scarred face appeared in front of Sultan's face, his brows furrowed, and he said, "You are weak, rest well."

said stand up.

Yaoying grabbed his sleeve: "Brother, are you going to find Li Xuanzhen?"

Li Zhongqian's expression was icy cold, and a cold light flashed in his phoenix eyes.

Yaoying held on to him: "Brother, Li Xuanzhen is seriously injured now. You go to him, but you can't ask anything. I will solve his problem. We agreed."

Li Zhongqian's face sank.

When he was in Gaochang, he promised Yaoying that he would not act impulsively.

"Li Xuanzhen is gloomy and eccentric, unpredictable, we must beware of him..."

Li Zhongqian sat back on the edge of the couch, hesitating to speak.

Li Xuanzhen was gloomy and deep, and he doubted what Li Xuanzhen wanted to do to Ming Yuenu. As early as in Chang'an, he found that Li Xuanzhen looked at Ming Yuenu with a particularly cruel look. Bei Rong was defeated, and Zhu Luyun and Princess Yiqing disappeared. Li Xuanzhen did not personally lead troops to find Zhu Luyun, but only asked the guards to inquire about the news. The more he thought about it, the more strange he felt. He took the opportunity of the envoy to bring Ming Yuenu to the royal court, just because he was worried that Li Xuanzhen would make a move when he was away.

Unexpectedly, Li Xuanzhen quietly followed the royal court and lurked beside Mingyuenu.

Although he saved Mingyue Slave, Li Zhongqian still couldn't let go of his guard, and his sense of unease became stronger.

The days when Li Xuanzhen was with him in Beirong could be described as a near-death life. He went through fire and water for Mingyue Slave, really just to make up for his fault

Li Zhongqian did not believe it.

"I'll beware of Li Xuanzhen..." Yaoying recalled Li Xuanzhen's phoenix eyes covered with red blood before she passed out, frowned slightly, and said, "Brother, I know what I know."

After Li Zhongqian came, the personal soldiers surrounded the small courtyard, and Bi Suo, Yuanjue and other Wang Tingren all withdrew.

Bi Su walked towards Tamaroka.

He stood in the shadows, staring at the dim lights reflected in the window.

"Princess is much better... The princess asked you, why didn't you go in?"

Tamara shook his head.

In what capacity

She has elder brothers to care for and loyal subordinates to serve.

He said calmly, "Let the doctor see her again."

She is just recovering and may have recurring episodes.

Bi Su should say yes, lift her foot and walk away, leading the doctor into the room.

The doctor looked at Yaoying's pulse and was amazed. Uneasy, Li Zhongqian followed the doctor out of the house and wanted to inquire about Yaoying's condition. The doctor did not understand Chinese and he did not know the royal language. , learn some Chinese.

After a while, Bi Su led a doctor back.

The doctor said a lot of words, amazed, and finally said with a smile: "The princess is fine."

With a humming sound, Tamara went down the stone steps and instructed Bi Su.

"Find out which descendant of today's assassins, they have been in the holy city for a long time, and it is impossible not to leave a trace."

"Tomorrow morning, let General Zhonglang of the Imperial Guard go to Wang Temple to meet me."

Bi Su responded.

He ordered a few other things, and Bi Su answered them one by one.

The night was dark.

Tamara fell silent, and the front of his clothes was covered with silver moonlight, and he walked out of the courtyard.

The sound of footsteps came from behind, and Yuanjue ran behind the two out of breath, and after saluting, said, "Prince Regent, the princess wants to go back to the King's Temple."

Tan Moraga frowned and said, "She is unwell today, stay here to rest, don't get up and move around."

Yuanjue responded and said, "The princess has something for me to tell you."

Tamaroka stopped and turned his back to him.

"What?"

Yuanjue said: "The princess said that it's time for you to take the medicine, remember to take the medicine."

Tamara was silent for a long time.

"how is she?"

"Princess is much better. The princess said that her problem was severe, but it's not in the way. Don't worry. The maid just brought me some food, and the princess ate it."

"You stay to take care of her, don't go out with her. If there is an emergency, let the letter eagle report."

Tamara gave an order and walked out.

Yuanjue should be, and returned to Yaoying's room, saying: "The regent has returned to the Wang Temple."

Yaoying murmured, "he left?"

She knew he wouldn't stay, but she thought he would come over and have a few words with her before he left.

Yuanjue nodded and said, "The regent said that you are weak, so don't go to the ground today. General Ashina will take care of him."

Yaoying was distracted for a while, called her personal soldiers, and instructed: "Brother will go back to the post house tomorrow, he has important things to do these days, so he probably won't go to other places... Look at him, if he gets along with him Li Xuanzhen has a conflict and must be stopped."

Soldiers should be.

"How is Li Xuanzhen? Is the injury serious?"

The soldier replied: "It's very serious, not only the wound left by the knife that I blocked for you today... There are other wounds on His Royal Highness. The injury has not yet healed, and new injuries have been added. There are not a few good pieces of meat on the back. The prince wanted to see you, and the prince regent of the royal court was stopped by someone, and the prince fell asleep. "

"Why did the prince suddenly appear in the royal court? Are there his personal guards in the city?"

"Yes, the little one has brought people over, and they said..."

"say what?"

"They said that His Royal Highness was here for the princess. The princess had just left Gaochang when His Royal Highness came after him. No one could persuade him."

Yaoying frowned.

At the beginning, Li Xuanzhen and Li Zhongqian came to rescue her together, she was surprised, but it was limited to that, she didn't want to have anything else to do with him.

The last time Li Xuanzhen was seriously injured, she lived in her tent, and returned to Shacheng with her. She didn't say a word to him along the way, and she didn't even glance at him. When he left, she didn't go to see him.

After that, the Western Army and the Liangzhou Army inevitably exchanged letters. There were often his personal letters in the official documents. Almost every one of his letters asked about her, but she ignored it.

I thought that there would be no more intersection between the two.

Gao Chang was besieged, and despite the objections of his subordinates, he rushed thousands of miles and appeared outside the city with only two thousand soldiers and horses, almost dying.

He was already seriously injured in Shazhou. If it wasn't for Li Zhongqian and Moviduo to join him, he would have no chance of winning against Shanghai's capital, Aling.

Yaoying thought at the time that Li Xuanzhen was very loyal to her allies.

But the ally would not follow her to the royal court quietly, and would stand up when she was in danger to block the knife for her.

Does Li Xuanzhen want to make up for her

Yaoying said lightly: "When the prince wakes up, come and report."

Up to now, it was impossible for them to go back to when they first met. She didn't care what he was thinking, she didn't need his remorse, she just wanted to stay away from him.

After giving the order, Yaoying lay down and rested. She may have slept too much during the day, tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep.

In the middle of the night, she got up, walked barefoot to the window, opened a slit and looked out.

The front of the porch was empty, the wind whistled, and the ground was sparkling like silver moonlight.

he's not here.

Yaoying waited for a while, shook her head and laughed, and turned back to the bed.

He's so busy, of course he won't come.

He must have done a good job when he rescued her today. I don't know if he took the medicine on time. If she is not by his side tonight, can he do it alone

Yaoying turned over, her sleeves slipped, and the beads on her arms were cold and moist.

She took off the beads, held them in her hands, and closed her eyes to sleep.

King Temple.

Bi Suo stood outside the felt curtain with a solemn expression.

There was a series of hurried footsteps in the quiet night, and Bamir hurried to the doctor's collar.

The doctor had just returned from Yaoying, and was summoned to Wang Temple again. He stood in front of the felt curtain and took a few breaths before opening the curtain.

Several candles in the room were burning like daytime. There was a person lying on the couch with the candlelight on his face. His face was like golden paper, his eyes were closed, and his expression was haggard.

The doctor's face changed slightly: "It was fine just now..."

Bi Suo anxiously said: "It's like this when I come back. After I lose my energy, I can't even walk."

The doctor shook his head and sighed. He took out the medicine box, took out a set of silver needles, washed his hands, and gave the needles to Tamara.

After half an hour, the doctor was sweating profusely from exhaustion, and Tamara's complexion recovered a little. He opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on the doctor's face.

"How long?"

he asked, gasping for breath.

The doctor replied respectfully, "King, it's getting better soon."

Tamara shook his head, the dense silver needles on his body swayed slightly, like silver scales flickering.

"I ask you, how long is it?"

He asked again, although the breath was weak, the momentum was still graceful.

Bi Su, who was beside the couch, was shocked.

The silver needle in the doctor's hand shook, he dared not raise his head, and whispered, "Wang has improved a few days ago. If it can continue like this, there may be a few more years..."

With a soft ding sound, the silver needle in his hand fell to the ground.

The doctor trembled and knelt down.

The house fell silent, a stillness like stagnant water.

Tan Mo Luojia's face was as usual, his eyes stared at the flickering candlelight, and said lightly: "Continue."

He had known that, the water mangcao could only drag on for a few years.

The doctor sighed secretly, mixed with admiration and pity, got up, and continued to give him acupuncture.

A bead of sweat the size of a bean rolled down from Tamara's cheek. He leaned halfway on the pillow and asked, "Have you sent someone to investigate?"

Bi Suo came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Send, the captain personally led people to search everywhere, there should be no accomplices in the city."

He hummed, "Remember to send additional staff."

There are too many people who want to kill Sultangu, and if those people all take out their hatred on her, no matter how many personal soldiers she has around her, it won't be enough.

Bi Su clasped his fists: "Don't worry, all the guards are sent. The princess's personal soldiers can't tell Wang Tingren. The guards often deal with them and respond faster."

Tamara Ka nodded slightly.

The needle in the doctor's hand stuck between his fingers.

His fingers were connected to his heart, his arm muscles trembled, but he just frowned slightly, as if he could not feel the pain.

If she was here, she would definitely look at him worriedly, talk to him, and try to divert his attention. When he frowned, she would also frown slightly.

He was used to it and didn't feel pain.

But when she looked at her with those concerned eyes, the pain seemed to become acute.

The next morning, Li Zhongqian just got up and came to see Yaoying.

Yaoying got up earlier than him, changed clothes, ate something, and turned around in front of him, her face was ruddy and full of energy: "Brother, I'm so good."

Li Zhongqian was still worried, and forced her to drink a few bowls of medicine to replenish her body. When the doctor in the house checked her pulse and said that she was really fine, she was relieved, and told her soldiers to look at the seriously injured Li Xuanzhen and leave in a hurry.

"I'll be back when I'm done, be careful."

"I know."

Yaoying watched him go out, and asked Yuanjue to find pen, ink and paper, and sat in front of the desk to write a letter.

The personal soldiers came to report: "Princess, His Royal Highness the Prince is awake."

Yaoying put down her pen.

Li Xuanzhen's shoulders, waist, chest, thighs, and arms were all wrapped with thick gauze, lying on the couch, her face pale.

The personal soldiers embraced Yao Ying and stepped into the house. His bleak phoenix eyes immediately ignited a few flames, as if bright sparks erupted from the burned ashes, and two gloomy eyes were fixed on her. face.

Yaoying frowned, motioned for the others to go out, and glanced at the couch.

The copper basin was full of blood, and there was a large mass of blood-soaked gauze beside the couch.

She raised her eyes and looked at Li Xuanzhen.

"Why save me?"

The tone is flat.

Li Xuanzhen's lips twitched, struggling to get up and sitting down.

"Because I don't want anything to happen to you."

Yaoying had no expression on her face.

Li Xuanzhen covered the knife wound and twitched the corner of her mouth: "Qiniang, do you still hate me?"

No matter what he did, she was always cold.

Yaoying shook her head, met Li Xuanzhen's gaze, and said, "Li Xuanzhen, I just want to stay away from you."

Li Xuanzhen was like falling into an ice cellar, her hands and feet were cold.

She hated him so much that she didn't even want to hate him.
