The night sky was dotted with dark stars. After the banquet, everyone dispersed.
Si Wushang supported Yingluo and left the Zhaoqing Hall. The night became darker and darker, the night wind blew by, and the horn bells swaying in the wind at the corners of the eaves made a crisp ringing sound.
Si Wushang helped Yingluo get into the carriage. His eyes could see at night and he did not light the glass lamp in the carriage.
Yingluo had a lot of doubts in her heart. Cheng Han rarely mentioned the Four Kingdoms War more than 20 years ago. Yingluo was not clear about the hatred between Cheng Han and Lan State at that time. She didn't understand why Gu Wuguo treated her father
There is such deep hatred.
Si Wushang stretched out his arms and took her into his arms, "Luo'er, are you worried?"
I heard him ask in a low voice, "Has the prince felt that the envoy from Gu Wuguo has deep hostility towards the Murong family?"
There were secret guards outside the carriage, and Si Wushang was not worried about what happened back then being spread. "I know the reason."
Yingluo was surprised, "How could the prince know?"
"This is Cheng Han's secret. As a member of the royal family, I naturally know it. This matter started more than twenty years ago. There is a Lan Country outside the Five Kingdoms. It is not vast but has the prosperity of salt mines that all countries dream of.
Therefore, the ambitions of the Lan State became more and more inflated. The first thing they did was to monopolize the salt industry. All countries suffered from it. Salt was the foundation of the country. At that time, my father was in his prime, so he united with other countries to launch a war.
When the Lan Kingdom was destroyed, the general who led his troops to break through the Lan Kingdom's imperial city was your father, General Murong, and the queen of Gu Wuguo was the eldest princess of the Lan Kingdom."
Yingluo frowned. These were things that Yingluo had never known. No wonder the people of Gu Wu Country hated their father so much. Could it be that Gu Wu Country came to seek revenge?
"Your Majesty, Yingluo is worried that if the war breaks out again, all life will be devastated, and it will be the common people who will suffer."
"Sometimes women cannot be kind. If the ancient state of Wu really wanted to declare war, the people of the Han Dynasty would not be afraid of war."
Yingluo just leaned in his arms and said nothing. She grew up in a military camp, so Yingluo naturally understood this.
The two returned to the palace. Si Wushang was worried about Yingluo's health. It was getting late, so he helped her sleep.
It is late at night, everything is silent, the scattered stars have faded away, the shadow of the moon is gradually sinking to the west, the sky is dim, and dawn is about to come.
Suddenly, there was an urgent knock on the door, and Cheng Feng called out hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Guard Mai has returned to the palace after retrieving the snake gallbladder, but now he has fainted due to poisonous gas attacking his heart."
Si Wushang quickly got up from the bed. There was hope that Yingluo's eyes would be restored to life when Amai came back, so he hurriedly got dressed.
Yingluo also woke up from her sleep and heard that Amai was poisoned. Amai was poisoned because of her. Since she couldn't see it, she hurriedly reached out her hand and grabbed Prince Zheng, "Take me there."
Even if she was left in the room, she would look for her. She would reach out and pull the clothes over her, pick her up by the waist, and take her to the room where Amai lived.
That day, Amai fought with the Spirit Snake King and cut off the snake's head to get the snake's gall. He was bitten by the severed snake head. Later, he found the snake blood grass near the hot spring. Worried about Yingluo's safety, he rushed back all the way. The poison was released before the remaining poison was cleared.
Attack the heart.
As soon as the couple entered the door, they smelled a rotten smell in the room. Si Wushang looked at Amai, whose lips were turning blue, and heard Cheng Feng say that he found him lying at the door of Prince Zheng's Mansion while patrolling. He should be exhausted.
I rushed back only after I had lost my strength.
Si Wushang saw that Amai's left hand was black and blue, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to tear open the sleeve of his left hand. He found that Amai's arm was ulcerated, and if he didn't treat it, the entire arm would become useless.
"Chengfeng, go and get the medicine box from my room."
Yingluo worriedly asked: "Your Majesty, how is Amai?"
"Don't worry, with me here you won't let him lose his life."
Si Wushang had to check his pulse to know the extent of his poisoning. He stretched out his hand to cover his right wrist. He must have been poisoned by herbs and antidote pills, because his wound was on his left arm near his heart.
.It is caused by not using internal force to dissolve the antidote and rushing to get on the road, leaving poison in the heart.
"Don't worry, Mai Wei's life is not in danger. He is probably too tired."
Yingluo couldn't see Amai but could smell the rotting smell of wounds in the room. Although he didn't like Amai, he had already regarded him as a relative. His eyes were filled with tears, "My lord, don't lie to Yingluo."
Her blind eyes were most afraid of tears, "How could I lie to you? Don't worry."
Cheng Feng had already brought the medicine box over. Si Wushang hurriedly took out the needle bag and took out the silver needle to drain the poisonous blood from his arm. Yingluo stayed by her side and could do nothing but wait.
Si Wushang personally bandaged Amai's wounds, and Amai was not afraid of danger to get medicine for Yingluo. Si Wushang respected him as a gentleman.
"Your Majesty, when will Amai wake up?" Yingluo was filled with worry.
Si Wushang didn't know when Amai would wake up, so he could only comfort him with kind words: "Don't worry, Guard Mai hasn't seen Luo'er safe yet. He won't let himself sleep for long. He will wake up soon."
Yingluo refused to leave, but Si Wushang did not object. He put the spirit snake gall retrieved by Amai into the ice chamber. Most of Yingluo's poison had been cured. The poison of the spirit snake was very overbearing. He was not sure of the dosage and did not dare to take it for Yingluo without permission.
Down.
Now that it was dawn, someone came to the palace, and the emperor summoned him to the palace to discuss matters. Today he would accompany the envoys of Gu Wuguo around, told Yingluo not to worry, and hurried into the palace.
Yingluo didn't ask anyone to make any announcement. Zhen'er got up from the bed and went to the bedroom to ask the young lady to take a bath and change clothes. She found that the prince and princess were not in the room, and she was wondering in her heart.
Hearing the sound of footsteps behind her, she turned around and saw Yang Bupo standing behind her. He stopped pestering her. Apart from being a little cautious, Zhen'er was not very afraid of him.
Naturally, Amai knew that he was returning to his home, and when he saw Zhen'er, he didn't dodge, "Are you looking for the prince and the princess?"
"yes!"
The words lingered in Bupo's mouth for a long time, and finally he said: "He came back and was seriously injured."
The utensil in Zhen'er's hand fell to the ground. Could it be that something happened to Amai? Otherwise, how could Yang Huwei tell him so kindly and run directly to the courtyard where Amai was.
Bupo looked at Zhen'er Juechen's figure, she didn't have him in her heart, and even if she got married, she would only share the same bed with him.
Zhen'er came to the courtyard where Amai was and saw many guards guarding the outside. She rushed in and saw Amai lying on the couch, "Amai!"
Yingluo stayed by Amai's side and heard Zhen'er's sad call, "Zhen'er, don't worry, Amai will wake up soon."
In the afternoon of the next day, Amai still didn't wake up. King Zheng went to the palace to discuss matters during the day, and when he came back at night, he went into the pharmacy and mixed detoxification pills with snake gall.
Yingluo stayed by Ah Mai's bed, while Zhen'er stood by and changed Ah Mai's dressing. She shed tears of distress every time she saw Ah Mai's terrifying arms.
Suddenly, he noticed that Ah Mai’s fingers were trembling slightly, “Ah Mai!”
Yingluo heard Zhen'er calling softly, "Zhen'er! Amai, is he awake?"
On the couch, Amai had been worried about Yingluo. Hearing Yingluo's voice, he suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes skipped over Zhen'er, who was crying with joy, and fell directly on Yingluo.
Yingluo only heard Zhen'er's sobs and felt anxious, "Zhen'er, has Amai woke up?"
Amai saw Yingluo's confused eyes, "Miss, your eyes!"
When Yingluo heard Amai's voice, tears welled up in her eyes. She was happy for Amai to wake up, and her heart was equally filled with gratitude, "Amai! You finally woke up, thank you!"
Everything Amai did was done willingly. All he wanted was for Yingluo to be happy, nothing more.
