In the inner hall, the door is tightly closed, and the airflow is unobstructed, so that the bloody smell is densely covered in the air, following the air like a shadow and inhaled into the nostrils, like a sticky snake, making people want to vomit and feel nauseated.【】
There was a pile of messy bedding next to the huge gum. There were traces of blood flowing on the fine fabric. It was messy and eye-catching. They were all things that Zhong Qingye had changed. Because there was no maid present during the treatment, these were not good.
There was no one to clean up the things.
Qi Mo frowned slightly, walked over, messed up the bedding into a ball, and threw it into an unnoticed corner. Then he took a long breath and walked gently to the bed.
Zhong Qingye hasn't woken up yet. The intense pain and blood loss have consumed almost all her energy. In just one day, her whole body seems to have lost a lot of weight. Her face is as white as winter snow, and she has a tragic cold feeling.
The cold sweat on his face had not dried, and his wet hair was stuck to his face, making him look even more decadent and haggard.
Qi Mo turned around and walked to the wooden stand where the water tray was placed. He rolled up his sleeves and gently soaked the soft towel on the stand in the water. The water was cold, but fortunately it was not too harsh. He twisted it a little and waited until it was dry.
The soft towel was half wet. I put it in my hands to warm it. It took a while before I felt it was appropriate. I walked back to the bed and sat down, gently wiping the cold sweat on her face.
Zhong Qingye slept very uneasily, and even when he was dreaming, his brows were furrowed, as if he was trapped in a big nightmare, and he couldn't get out of it. The occasional movement would scare Qi Mo's whole body, and he would have to wait until she was quiet.
Don't dare to continue until you come down.
Wiping it carefully, his eyes and expression were so gentle that he could squeeze out water. He did not look like an emperor facing a woman, but rather like a man with an extreme temperament, using all his care to protect his beloved treasure.
Little by little, it came down from his forehead and followed the sharp arc of his cheeks, and Qi Mo's heart felt endless pain and self-blame.
It had been more than three months since she came back to him. As we watched each other day and night, he didn't realize that she had lost weight to such an extent. The original oval face had turned into a pointed cone shape, and there was no trace of radiance to the touch.
I just feel that my bones are cold and painful.
Wiping, her shallow breaths brushed the back of his hand from time to time, giving him a tickling feeling, which made people feel at peace. Qi Mo couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his mouth, letting out a soft smile.
At this time, the door of the inner hall was lightly knocked twice, and Black Eagle said softly from outside: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court, you..."
Qi Mo didn't even look back and said casually and coldly: "I'm leaving the court. I'll accompany her here and ask the ministers to submit memorials if they have anything to do. I will review and reply. If there is really an emergency, you can handle it as appropriate."
"
Black Eagle hesitated for a moment outside, and finally responded respectfully. "I understand."
The footsteps gradually moved away, and the whole world became quiet. Qi Mo stayed by Zhong Qingye's side, with a smile on his face, as satisfied as if he had gained the whole world.
One day like this, until the sun sets, Qi Mo asked someone to move the desk and place it next to Zhong Qingye's bed. He is the emperor and can quit the court, but he cannot ignore things. Fortunately, Northern Qi is still in the state of post-war reconstruction.
, everything was prosperous, and there was nothing that made him too worried. It was more conducive for all his thoughts to be placed on Zhong Qingye.
It was getting late. Qi Mo finished approving a memorial. He stretched out his hand tiredly and rubbed the bridge of his nose. He felt that the light was dim. He was about to ask someone to light a lamp. Qiuer had already walked in with a gilt moiré lamp and the wick was lit.
, the warm light is set in the jade-patterned lampshade, which is not dazzling but very bright.
Qiu'er carefully placed the lamp on the lamp stand, frowned at Qi Mo, and said with concern: "Your Majesty, you haven't eaten for a day. Qiu'er has prepared some snacks for you. You can use a little of it. If you continue like this, your health will be bad."
How is it good?"
Qi Mo continued to reach for the memorial wrapped in yellow leather and said without raising his head: "When the empress wakes up, I will use it with her. You can go down."
Qiu'er's brows furrowed even deeper, and he couldn't help but turn his head and whisper. His gums were tightly packed. He said he would wait for the queen to wake up, but... who knows when the queen will wake up? The emperor has to manage again.
You have to take care of your empress personally, and you are already very tired. How can you do this if you don’t eat?
However, with Qi Mo's cold face, Qiu'er didn't know how to persuade, so she could only sigh and slowly retreated.
The palace door wrapped in cotton cloth closed without making any sound, and the room became more and more quiet and comfortable. The fetal incense was mixed with the lily incense that can calm the mind and was burned in the light blue and white incense burner. Thin blue smoke curled up, shaped like a little dragon.
, slightly covering up the pungent smell of blood in the air.
Vaguely, Qi Mo suddenly heard a dinging sound coming from his gums. It seemed that Zhong Qingye had woken up. He quickly put down the memorial and ran to the bedside and opened the tent. Zhong Qingye did not wake up, and his brows were also raised.
The wrinkled, dry and cracked lips closed and closed, seeming to mutter something.
Qi Mo leaned down and listened carefully. It took him a while to hear clearly that she was talking about water. He quickly turned around and took the ginseng tea that had been kept warm on a small stove from the table. He came over and sat on the edge of the bed to hold up her head.
, carefully fed her a few sips, and when the tea fell from her lips, he hurriedly wiped it with his sleeve.
The imperial doctor had said that Zhong Qingye had lost a lot of blood and was probably in a coma and was in need of water. At this time, she could not drink any water mixed with tea leaves to avoid irritating her stomach. In addition, her physical strength was not worth it, so it was best to give her
Drinking warm ginseng tea in small sips can replenish water and use ginseng energy to help restore physical strength.
Therefore, the ginseng tea here in Qi Mo has been prepared long ago. It uses the best ginseng slices, mixes it with dew, and simmers it over fire for several hours. Until the ginseng is completely cooked, the ginseng is removed and used.
Keep it warm over fire until Zhong Qingye wakes up and drink it.
When I woke up, the imperial doctor's method was very effective. After a few sips, Zhong Qingye, who had been sleeping for almost a day and night, slowly opened his eyes. Like a person who has been sick for a long time and is afraid of light, he squinted his eyes and leaned on Qi Mo's arms with an extremely expression.
The tired and languid appearance is heart-wrenching.
Qi Mo was overjoyed and hurriedly put the ginseng tea in his hand on the small table beside him. He carefully adjusted her into a comfortable position, pulled up the thick fox fur quilt and wrapped her whole body, and then asked softly.
