Song Shuwen frowned, and after a look, he quickly concluded: "Tuoba Tianlong was poisoned."
Then, he turned around and said to everyone, "Please go out."
However, Chen Meng immediately expressed his objection: "It's better for everyone to stay here, what if there is any accident."
Song Shuwen instantly understood Chen Meng's meaning. If everyone was asked to leave at this moment, if something happened, Hong Gang would definitely put all the blame on him.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Song Shuwen and Chen Meng looked at each other, and their eyes were full of worry and vigilance.
Tuoba Tianlong lay there with a pale face. After being poisoned, his breath was weak, as if he might fall into a more dangerous situation at any time.
Song Shuwen took a deep breath and tried to persuade everyone to leave again. After all, in the process of treatment, the large number of people may bring more interference and uncertain factors.
Song Shuwen stood in the middle of the room, his eyes swept across everyone quickly. After finally weighing the pros and cons, he said in a deep voice: "Okay, everyone stays. But from now on, no one should speak, so as not to affect my treatment."
Everyone nodded, and a tense atmosphere filled the room.
Song Shuwen took a deep breath and slowly took out the silver needle from his arms.
The silver needles flashed slightly cold light under the light, as if carrying the hope of everyone.
He walked to Tuoba Tianlong's side, his eyes focused and firm. Gently, he stabbed the silver needle in Tuoba Tianlong's temple.
At that moment, the room was so quiet that it seemed as if everyone's heartbeat could be heard.
Time seemed to have frozen. Song Shuwen was concentrating on feeling Tuoba Tianlong's pulse changes, and the silver needle in his hand trembled slightly.
Everyone stared at his every move nervously, and did not dare to show off.
Everyone's heart was full of worries and expectations. I wonder if Tuoba Tianlong could turn the danger into safety under Song Shuwen's treatment.
Outside the window, the outside world blew gently, and the leaves rustled, but they could not break the silence in the room.
Skinny beads of sweat gradually oozed out from Song Shuwen's forehead, and his hands were still holding the silver needle steadily, constantly adjusting their strength and position.
At this tense moment, fate seemed to be in his hands.
As time passed, Song Shuwen's expression became more and more serious. He focused on observing Tuoba Tianlong's subtle reaction, and the silver needle in his hand accurately stimulated the acupoints as if he had life.
Everyone in the room was so nervous that they dared not move, and their eyes were staring at Tuoba Tianlong and Song Shuwen.
The air seemed to solidify, and only the slight breathing of the people echoed in the air.
Suddenly, Tuoba Tianlong's body trembled slightly, Song Shuwen's eyes lit up, and his hands were more cautious.
He knew that this might be a key node in treatment, and if there was a slight mistake, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Sweat slid down Song Shuwen's cheeks, but he had no time to wipe it.
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, that was, he must save Tuoba Tianlong.
After a long and tense moment, Song Shuwen finally slowly withdrew the silver needle. He let out a long breath, and a hint of relief appeared on his tired face.
"Okay, at present, the situation has stabilized temporarily." Song Shuwen's voice broke the silence of the room, and everyone's hearts finally fell to the ground.
Hong Gang stood aside, looking at Tuoba Tianlong whose face was gradually calming, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
His mood was extremely complicated. Once Tuoba Tianlong got better, it would be bad.
Various possible consequences kept popping up in his mind.
He is well aware of Tuoba Tianlong's strength and shrewdness. If he is rescued by Song Shuwen this time, he will definitely investigate today's incident in the future.
When Hong Gang thought of this, he felt like a ray of light on his back, and his uneasiness became stronger and stronger.
Hong Gang looked at Song Shuwen, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Doctor Song, how many days will it take to get completely better?"
Song Shuwen frowned slightly, thought for a while and said, "I still need to prescribe medicine, it will take about three to five days. Now I will go to collect herbs."
After saying that, Song Shuwen turned around and walked out the door.
Hong Gang hurriedly asked, "Does someone need to follow?" Song Shuwen waved his hand and firmly said that there was no need.
Looking at Song Shuwen's back as he left, Hong Gang felt a lot of thoughts in his heart.
Then, Hong Gang turned his head to look at the soldiers from Central China, pondered for a moment and said, "You can stay here for the time being and wait until Chief Tuoba's condition is stable."
The soldiers looked at each other. Although they had many doubts in their hearts, they could only obey the arrangements.
Song Shuwen walked in the mountains and forests, and he could feel a secret guard following him not far away.
He felt a little calm. He knew that there was a secret guard and he could go to collect herbs with confidence.
His steps were steady, his eyes focused on searching for the herbs needed in the mountains and forests. Tuoba Tianlong's condition kept popping up in his mind, thinking about how to better configure medicinal materials.
On the other side, Chen Meng kept paying attention to Hong Gang's every move.
He keenly noticed Hong Gang's nervousness. His slightly frown, his fists that were clenched and loosened from time to time, and the uneasiness in his eyes could not escape Chen Meng's eyes.
Chen Meng walked to Hong Gang and asked softly: "Hong Gang, why are you so nervous?"
Hong Gang's body shook slightly, and a hint of panic flashed across his eyes, but soon he covered it up. He tried hard to squeeze out a smile and said, "How could I be nervous? I was excited because of excitement. Tuoba Tianlong's illness was about to recover, and I was very excited."
But he was crying in his heart: "Once Tuoba Tianlong gets better, my plan may be completely ruined. How can I not be nervous?"
Hong Gang lowered his head slightly, his eyes flashing, as if he was avoiding Chen Meng's gaze that seemed to be able to see through everything. He cleared his throat and said calmly: "I'll go back to the camp first."
After saying that, Hong Gang turned around and left.
His steps were a little flustered, and each step seemed to carry heavy thoughts.
While walking, he kept thinking in his heart about what might happen next and how he should deal with it.
At some point, fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and a disturbed light shone under the sunlight.
In the room, the sun shines on the ground through the window lattice, quiet and warm.
Xi Yu walked into Ouyang Linlin's room lightly, her eyes full of concern.
He looked at Ouyang Linlin sitting by the window and asked softly: "Linlin, how are you doing recently?"
Ouyang Linlin raised her head slightly, a faint smile appeared on her face, and a gentle light flashed in her eyes.
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Her voice was soft and firm.
Xi Yu frowned slightly, walked to her side, and gently held her hand. "You are pregnant now, so you must take care of your baby. I have found several maids to serve you. Please tell them if you need anything."
Ouyang Linlin was slightly stunned, then a stubborn curve rose from the corner of her mouth.
"No need to make a fuss, just make a big fuss. I'm not that delicate." A hint of stubbornness and independence were revealed in her eyes, but a warm current surged in her heart.
"Linlin, I know you are strong, but now you are not alone, you have to think about our children." His eyes were full of expectations and concerns.
She knew that Xi Yu was for her and her children's good, and she didn't want him to worry.
"Okay, I'll pay attention. But don't go too far, I can still take care of myself." Her tone eased.
Just as Xi Yu was talking to Ouyang Linlin, a servant hurried over, saluted respectfully and said, "Prime Minister, Your Majesty is invited."
Xi Yu was slightly stunned, and the expression on his face instantly became solemn.
His eyes moved away from Ouyang Linlin, turned to the attendant, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with your Majesty looking for me at this time?"
The attendant lowered his head and replied, "I don't know, I just came to pass the message."
Xi Yu turned to look at Ouyang Linlin, her eyes full of concern and reluctance.
He whispered: "Then you have a good rest, I'll go back." Ouyang Linlin nodded slightly, with a hint of concern in her eyes, and said gently: "Don't worry, go and be careful yourself."
Xi Yu turned around and left with the servant, thinking to himself as he walked: What is the matter with His Majesty looking for me? No special thing has happened recently, so why did he suddenly summon me?
His brows frowned slightly, his eyes full of thought.
On the way to the palace, Xi Yu was always full of questions, but he couldn't guess Liu Xie's intentions.
From time to time, he turned around and looked towards Ouyang Linlin's room, caring about her and the child in her belly.
The wind blew across his face, but it failed to dispel the doubts in his heart.
Xi Yu rode his horse and galloped all the way, and the doubts in his heart enveloped him like dark clouds.
Finally, he came to Liu Xie's palace.
The palace is solemn and magnificent, with the vermilion door closed tightly. There were two rows of guards standing at the door, each with a solemn expression.
Xi Yu took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and then quickly walked towards the door after dismounting.
The door slowly opened, and Xi Yu stepped into the palace and saw Liu Xie sitting upright on the hall, looking calm.
Xi Yu hurried forward, knelt on one knee, and saluted respectfully, "I, Xi Yu, pay homage to Your Majesty."
Liu Xie raised his hand slightly and said calmly: "Let's flat."
Xi Yu stood up, lowered his head slightly, waiting for Liu Xie's following.
His heart was full of curiosity, and he didn't know what Liu Xie had summoned him this time.
Liu Xie looked at Xi Yu, and his eyes seemed to have a deep meaning, but he did not speak immediately.
The atmosphere in the hall was a little solemn for a moment, and Xi Yu couldn't help but raise his heart.
Liu Xie narrowed his eyes slightly, and a complex emotion appeared in his expression.
He sighed lightly, with a little melancholy in his voice: "Xi Yu, I had a dream yesterday."
Xi Yu raised his head slightly, his eyes full of confusion, and he quietly waited for Liu Xie to continue talking.
Liu Xie's eyes were a little confused, as if he was immersed in that dream, "I dreamed of Liu Bei, and he cried to me, and I... I am a beggar."
A look of pain appeared on Liu Xie's face, and his hands were trembling slightly.
Xi Yu was shocked. He looked at Liu Xie and didn't know how to respond for a while.
Liu Xie's eyes were full of confusion and helplessness. He said as if he was talking to himself: "I don't know what this dream means, and I feel very uneasy."
Xi Yu was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Your Majesty, dreams are illusory things, maybe you don't have to pay too much attention."
Liu Xie shook his head and said with a sad expression: "But I always feel that this dream seems to have a deep meaning. Liu Bei cried to me, but I became a beggar. Does this indicate anything?"
Xi Yu frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, although the situation is complicated now, Your Majesty is the emperor and the lord of all people. He will definitely not be like in his dream. Perhaps this dream is just caused by His Majesty's worries."
Xi Yu thought to himself that Liu Xie's statement was probably a dream-making statement made up on purpose, but he could not easily reveal it.
He lowered his head slightly, his expression calm, but his heart was thinking about the solutions to the situation.
Xi Yu knew very well that although Liu Xie was a puppet emperor, he also had his own thoughts and plans. This seemingly absurd dream words may have deeper intentions hidden behind them.
If it is revealed at this time, it will inevitably arouse Liu Xie's disgust and alertness, and may even cause unpredictable consequences.
Liu Xie's eyes showed a hint of melancholy and he said slowly: "No matter whether this dream is true or false, I really think of Liu Bei in my heart. I don't know what his situation is now?"
Xi Yu's heart moved, but his face remained silent. He bowed slightly and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will send someone to pay attention to this matter. Liu Bei is a relative of the Han Dynasty, and it is reasonable for Your Majesty to worry about it. I will do my best to inquire about Liu Bei's news for Your Majesty."
When Liu Xie heard Xi Yu's response, his face suddenly burst into joy.
He held Xi Yu's hand tightly, his eyes full of anticipation, "It's so good. Let's go and accompany me to walk around this yard."
The two of them slowly walked into the courtyard, and the sun shone on them, but they could not dispel the depressing atmosphere in the courtyard.
Liu Xie walked and said softly: "Xi Yu, when you have nothing to do, come and see me more. I often feel lonely in this palace."
Xi Yu nodded slightly and responded respectfully: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will come to accompany Your Majesty often."
He knew in his heart that Liu Xie's request at this moment was not only out of emotional demand, but also a kind of win over and reliance on him.
Liu Xie and Xi Yu continued to walk in the yard. Liu Xie looked slightly and asked, "Xi Yu, what's new in the near future?"
Xi Yu pondered for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty, there has been some movement in the Xianbei area recently. Although I did not intervene on purpose, the surrounding areas also need stability. I have sent people to pay close attention and made some corresponding arrangements."
Liu Xie stopped, nodded slightly, and his eyes showed appreciation, "You did the right thing. Only when the surrounding area is stable can I feel at ease. The situation in the world is turbulent and the forces of all parties are complicated. If you are not careful, it will cause chaos. I am very pleased that you can care about the overall situation."
Xi Yu hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty is absurd. I am just doing my duty to share your worries and seeking stability for the world."
Liu Xie sighed lightly, "When will the world be truly peaceful..." He looked into the distance, his eyes full of worries and expectations.
Liu Xie stood in the courtyard, and his thoughts suddenly floated above the card game.
A trace of interest flashed in his eyes, and he turned to Xi Yu and said, "I suddenly remembered playing cards. Xi Yu, are you willing to play a game with me?"
Xi Yu was slightly stunned, then nodded and responded: "Your Majesty has such a good mood, I should accompany you."
Liu Xie showed joy on his face and immediately ordered the little eunuch around him to prepare the card equipment.
Soon, two little eunuchs rushed over, holding cards and tables and chairs in their hands.
The four of them sat down in a shade in the courtyard, and Liu Xie began to shuffle with great enthusiasm.
"Today's game, let's see who is the winner." Liu Xie said with a smile.
At the beginning of the card game, the atmosphere was a little nervous for a moment. The young eunuchs played the cards carefully, and their eyes glanced at Liu Xie and Xi Yu from time to time.
Liu Xie was focused, sometimes frowning and sometimes smiling.
Xi Yu played cards carefully, neither wanting to defeat Liu Xie and let him lose face, nor losing too clearly that people can see deliberateness.
The sun shines through the gaps of the leaves, casting mottled light and shadow on the card table.
The card game continued in a tense and delicate atmosphere. Liu Xie sometimes showed joy because he played a good hand,
Sometimes I frowned slightly because of the unfavorable situation.
Xi Yu always maintains a perfect expression, neither too ostentatious nor dull.
The two little eunuchs were even more cautious. They knew that this card game was not only entertainment, but also about their performance in front of the emperor.
Every time I play cards, I think carefully, for fear of mistakes.
As the game progressed, Liu Xie seemed to gradually relax.
"Xi Yu, this game is like life, unpredictable." Liu Xie said with emotion.
Xi Yu nodded slightly, "What Your Majesty said is very true. Life is like a card game, full of unknowns and challenges."
Liu Xie smiled slightly, "Then do you think we should play cards in this game in the world?"
Xi Yu felt a stern, and he understood that the emperor was testing him. He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the affairs of the world need to be judged and cautious in playing cards. Only by taking benevolence as the basis and wisdom as the plan can one seek stability in this complex situation."
After hearing this, Liu Xie nodded thoughtfully.
The card game continued, and a different kind of tranquility and tension permeated the courtyard. This card game seemed to have become a unique stage for communication and competition between the emperor and his subjects.
The game was coming to an end without realizing it, and the sun gradually rose, and it was time to eat.
Liu Xie put down the card in his hand with an unfulfilled desire, looked at Xi Yu, and said with a smile: "Xi Yu, let's stay and have a meal with me today. I am very happy today."
Xi Yu quickly stood up and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty is very kind, I am very grateful."
Soon, the hearty meal was brought up.
Liu Xie and Xi Yu sat opposite each other, while the two little eunuchs were serving carefully.
Liu Xie's face was filled with a joyful smile, as if he had temporarily forgotten the troubles and pressure in the court.
"I played this game today and I haven't been so relaxed for a long time." Liu Xie said while picking up a dish and putting it into his mouth.
Xi Yu nodded slightly, "It is really a blessing for your Majesty to have a moment of joy."
