Imperial Favour - Chapter 46
Quan’an’s gasp was clearly identifiable, and Tang Zhuozuo could understand every word he said, but when they were connected together, she only felt dizzy. If it weren’t for Ye’s caressing, she would really stagger.
The long corridor was brightly lit, Tang Zhuozuo and Ye’s walking hurriedly, and the sound of footsteps and the screams of birds were even more miserable, which exactly matched the mood of everyone at this time.
Li Desheng washed his whole body with Moxa leaves and waited at the door. He didn’t dare to let him get close to Huo Qiu’s body. Liu Hanjiang was fine, and when Tang Zhuozhuo and Ye’s arrived, he was changing the veil.
Ye’s and Liu Hanjiang glanced at each other, and then silently averted their eyes, focusing on Huo Qiu’s body.
Huo Qiu’s face was so pale that even the morbid rosy faded away. He frowned tightly, his body was trembling, but the corners of his mouth kept bleeding, even thick black blood clots!
Tang Zhuozhuo’s hands were shaking a little, and he probed his forehead, the temperature was hot.
She condensed her eyebrows, and even Ye Clan saw some clues, and said, “Your Royal Highness’s condition has worsened a lot.”
Tang Zhuozhuo stayed silent, put on Huo Qiu’s wrist, and nodded in a deep voice after a while: “Yes, the plague is already violent, and the poison of your Highness is added to it. It’s when the body is weak.”
At this time, she suddenly realized something. Huo Qiu had the poison in his body in the previous life, and later encountered the plague, but at that time he had internal strength to support it, but now the internal strength is at the time of stagnation. If he wants to recover, it will take more than half a month.
Facing the plague, all he can rely on now is this body and his own will.
Tang Zhuozhuo felt a pain in his heart. What should he do if he… can’t survive this time, and can’t even wait for Suqian’s hanging medicine in his previous life?
The room was very quiet for a while. Everyone had their own minds. Huo Qiu was the backbone of everyone. Now the backbone was down, and all eyes were on Tang Zhuozhuo.
Hope she can find a way.
All the pressure was on Tang Zhuozhuo’s shoulders. She took a deep breath and wiped off the blood clots overflowing from Huo Qiu’s mouth little by little. The slender fingers trembled slightly, making them invisible.
At such a moment, she could not show a trace of depression and helplessness.
But who are the people present? Needless to say, Ye’s family has been with Jiang Jianxi for a long time, and he can see the specific situation at a glance. Liu Hanjiang is even more human, and there is nothing to hide from him.
Tang Zhuozuo looked at the man on the bed and put the drenched veil on his forehead, his eyes gradually softened.
He has been so spoiled for so long on the cusp of his heart, and he is so spoiled, all kinds of petty temperament have been laughed off by him, where is she a clumsy wood? No matter how unconscionable he is, his heart is always moved.
Your Majesty, take a look, you can be alone with the spoiled spoiled ones you are used to.
The medicine was sulky in the room, and she was a little dizzy from being smoked. She rubbed her eyebrows with her hand, not daring to look at his haggard face again.
“His Royal Highness can’t last long like this, when tomorrow morning, our palace will bring people up to the mountain to collect medicine.” Tang Zhuozhuo closed his eyes and said.
The medicine Xuncao originally came from the mountains and forests of the Xijiang River. Instead of waiting for people to come from Kyoto, it is better to take someone to look for it.
It’s luck to find it, not to find it…maybe it’s God’s will.
Tang Zhuozuo thought of Suqian from the previous life again. In this life, would she still arrive on time with the hanging medicine?
Before the accident, she only had to think of this person, but she really looked at Huo Qiu lying on the bed and vomiting black blood, and felt that as long as she could bring the hanging medicine, she would give her all the glory and wealth. .
But Duan Duan would not ask her to return to Beijing with Huo Qiu!
Ye clan was surprised for a moment, and looked at Liu Hanjiang, frowning and asked: “Manny, the mountains are dangerous, and we don’t have any prescriptions. It’s a problem to find any herbs.”
Don’t take this risk in vain.
Ye’s thought that Tang Zhuozuo saw Huo Qiu so confused and began to go to the doctor in a hurry, so he could only sigh in his heart.
Tang Zhuozuo shook his head, calmly and clearly, his eyes slid over the two of them: “My palace has listed the prescriptions, but the most important herbs are missing, and the rest of the prescriptions are ready. ”
Since remembering this, she has sent someone to gather all the prescription medicines, and now, only the main medicine of Xuncao is left.
Because it is the main medicine, it can’t be replaced by other medicines, and it can only be searched slowly.
Hearing this, Liu Hanjiang sighed in relief, clasped his fist and said: “So please ask the empress, the minister sends a team of elite soldiers to the mountain with the empress, please do what you can, don’t force it.”
In the end, he was Huo Qiu’s staff, and he was most concerned about Huo Qiu’s body. Now that he finally saw a glimmer of hope, he naturally wouldn’t hesitate to stop him.
At this time, Ye clan also bowed his head and pulled up his hair, his voice was gentle and delicate, and he shook Tang Zhuozhuo’s white-haired hand, and said: “The minister’s wife will also go into the mountain with the empress.”
After finishing speaking, Tang Zhuozhuo didn’t wait for Tang Zhuozhuo to speak, and continued: “The master also knows that the lady who lives in the mountains all the year round, and the ministers and wives have learned a lot over time and can help the lady.”
Tang Zhuozhuo glanced at Liu Hanjiang, who just frowned and told Ye clan: “Be careful in everything and protect your mother.”
Then she nodded at Ye’s.
Because her heart is clear, Ye’s is the same as her position in Huo Qiu’s heart to Liu Hanjiang. If he doesn’t allow her, she will definitely not take Ye’s up the mountain.
The matter is so settled.
In the middle of the night, Ye’s family went back to prepare the things to bring to the mountain tomorrow, while Tang Zhuozuo was sitting on the edge of Huo Qiu’s bed, staring at the steaming tea in a daze.
The smell of smoke in the room has long been unable to suppress the extremely strong herbal smell, not to mention the rusty smell of blood mixed together, and the room looks dull and depressed.
Tang Zhuozuo shrugged his nose, smelled it, and got used to it. He didn’t find it as unacceptable as it was at the beginning.
She had been sitting for a long time, her body was a little numb, and she moved for a while when Huo Qiu opened his eyes.
The blood became thicker in the deep sword eyes. He coughed for a while, took a few sips of the tea that the woman handed over, and asked with a hoarse voice, “Why are you still staying here?”
Tang Zhuozuo blinked, and hooked his exposed forearm as usual. His eyes were slightly bent into a crescent shape, and he said softly: “My concubine is waiting for your highness to wake up. Did you open your eyes?”
Huo Qiu’s eyes were deep, he tugged at the corner of her mouth, and gently touched the corner of her red eyes with his hand, and said, “Why are you crying? Stupid.”
This was not the first time he said she was stupid, but Tang Zhuozhuo felt very heartbroken. The corners of her mouth collapsed and the big golden peas fell into his palm.
Tang Zhuozuo felt embarrassed, burying his little head in his arms, rubbing and rubbing, feeling extremely restless.
Finally she lifted up a pale peach blossom noodle, put her thin chin on his head, and threatened viciously with his clothes. There was a deep nasal cry in her voice, “I just cried, and my Highness lay down. I ignored my concubine on the bed, and my concubine cried so much that my heart hurts.”
Huo Qiu felt a sudden pain in his heart, sharply making him frowned instantly, looking at the corner of her red eyes, he knew that she must have been crying for a long time.
Tang Zhuozuo kept silent about the news that she would enter the mountain tomorrow morning. She knew that if she mentioned it at this time, she would really tell this man to be detained and unable to go anywhere.
Huo Qiu swallowed the violence caused by being framed in his heart. With a dumb voice, he softly coaxed the aggrieved squeamish bag that was crying in front of him, and said: “Jiaojiao is like this, I feel distressed even if I close my eyes.”
So he definitely wouldn’t have any trouble, leaving her alone in this world to suffer the cold and persecution, he really closed his eyes and was not reconciled.
This was the first time a man had said such explicit love words, and Tang Zhuozuo’s sobbing motion stopped, and his ears blushed quietly.
“Your Highness can rest assured that there is such a genius doctor as your concubine, who will definitely cure your highness’s illness.” There were still two strings of tears on her bright and beautiful lotus face, but at this time she still smiled and said with relief.
Huo Qiu didn’t say a word, only felt that her strong smile was more unbearable than the physical pain.
When the sky was bright, Huo Qiu coughed up some blood clots, and then ran out of energy and fell asleep. Tang Zhuozuo then got up lightly.
Outside, Ye clan changed into light clothes, saw Tang Zhuozhuo and smiled slightly, and said: “The lady doesn’t need to worry. The minister’s wife went back and checked the medical literature. Most of the grass grows in the dense forests of the Xijiang Mountains. There are a lot of them. There are so many people, you will naturally find them.”
Tang Zhuozhuo smiled far-fetched, he didn’t close his eyes overnight, and looked extremely tired. After hearing what Ye said, she just nodded without saying anything.
Although it is said that, the mountain is so big and all kinds of beasts emerge in an endless stream. How difficult is it to meet a few small grasses hidden in the mountain?
It’s just to try luck.
Tang Zhuozuo went back to the room and took the insect repellent powder that he had asked someone to prepare early, and tied a head high up like a waterfall. In the first ray of light in the morning, it was as fresh and tender as a blossoming flower bone.
Li Desheng’s face was crying, and the more nervous he was when he saw them sternly, especially when he knew that the master had decided to go up the mountain without discussing with his Highness, his heart became even more nervous.
In the past, the master Jiaojiao complained of pain, and her face would sink for a long time. Whatever happened to the mountain, even if it was a scratch, the master would not spare them when she woke up.
But now the situation is in front of him, and he can’t talk about persuading him.
“Take good care of your Highness, and discuss with Mr. Liu if you have anything.” Tang Zhuozuo looked at the sun, turned and ordered.
Seeing Li Desheng nodded bitterly, Tang Zhuozhuo followed Ye’s back into the mountain without looking back.
The mountains are continuous mountains, rugged and difficult to navigate. Tang Zhuozhuo and Ye’s body couldn’t keep up, and they became empty when they were half-stepped, with fine beads of sweat on their foreheads.
Tang Zhuozuo stopped and took a few breaths. Ye clan stopped when he saw the situation, walked to her and asked, “Is the empress going to stop for a rest?”
Tang Zhuozuo shook his head, calmed down his breath, and said, “We only have one day. Don’t delay, let’s keep going.”
Every time she delays, Huo Qiu suffers more, how can she stop?
Seeing her stubborn appearance, Ye Shi could also feel the same way. If it was Liu Hanjiang who was infected with the plague, she was afraid that she could not be as calm as Tang Zhuozhuo now.
There is only one road up the mountain, a road from the sheep farm leads directly to the top of the mountain, gurgling mountain spring water gurgling out of small gaps, and the humidity is blowing in, making it even colder.
Xun grass mostly grows in the middle of the mountain. Tang Zhuozhuo has read many medical books and roughly understands its appearance. He walked and looked for it. At the same time, he asked the guard in front to compare with the drawing.
The trees are sparse in the middle of the mountain, and when you look up, you can only feel that the top of your head is covered by a thick fog. Various trees and grasses are thriving, kneaded together, and become a deep green.
Tang Zhuozhuo wiped the sweat on her head, and the mountain wind blew her body. She shuddered carefully, and her bones were blown cold.
What I thought was simple. Only when I really stand on the mountain and look at the green mountains and plains can I feel the deep depression.
It is impossible to find it!
Rao is like this, Tang Zhuozuo still suppressed the panic in his heart, nodded at Ye’s, and said: “Sister, let’s split the two ends and look for it, so it will be faster.”
Yip naturally agreed.
It took half a day to look for it. Tang Zhuo was so tired that he couldn’t straighten his waist. When he was about to give up, he inadvertently saw the small green leaves on the hill.
The little water droplets on the leaf veins are crystal clear, and a small clump swaying with the wind, it is clear that it is the Xuncao she is eager to bring back!
Tang Zhuozhuo’s expression was happy, and he didn’t dare to neglect anymore, and ran to Xun Cao’s side.
“Really…” She whispered softly, and a big rock in her heart suddenly fell.
With these Xun grasses, she was confident that Huo Qiu’s plague could be cured.
She just wanted to call people, when she heard a majestic roar, Tang Zhuozhao slowly raised her eyes and confronted a pair of emotionless beast pupils.
It was a black-brown bear. It fell on all fours and shook the mountain with roars. Tang Zhuozhuo stiffened. Before he could react, he felt that his body was flying lightly into the sky. There was a pain in his chest. After landing, he spit out his head. Scarlet blood.
She and the guards weren’t far away, the brown bear’s roar would surely startle them, Tang Zhuozhuo closed his eyes tightly, his teeth trembling slightly.
She took out a bag of fine powder from her arms and shook it in front of her. The brown bear seemed to be irritated by something. It was crazy. Seeing her actions like this, she felt provoked and rushed over with a roar.
Tang Zhuozuo was hit a few times, and during the period he kept his head tightly guarded, the beast had red eyes and rushed over again, but his movements were obviously slower because of the powder.
At this moment, a sharp arrow that pierced the air, like a meteor, shot straight into the brown bear’s left eye. The warm blood rushed out, and then two arrows broke through the air, piercing the brown bear’s belly. Two holes.
In a trance, Tang Zhuozhuo felt that all the bones of his body were crushed. He lifted his eyelids hard, and saw a man with a black cloth on his face holding a bow and arrow, and a dragon emblem engraved on his black robe. .
Xuan Longwei followed.
At this time, Ye clan also heard the movement and rushed to her. Huarong turned pale when she saw her appearance, and carefully pulled her to sit up, “Manny…”
Tang Zhuozuo gasped in a low voice, lifted his fingers laboriously, and pointed at the dim patch: “Xun Cao… take it home.”
Ye’s looked at the winding blood on her face, and his heart sank fiercely. The princess’s delicate face was scratched by the branches along the road, leaving an inch-long scar.
Most likely it will leave a mark.
Tang Zhuozuo felt pain all over his body. He quickly went dark in front of him. He gritted his teeth and held on to Ye’s hand. Grass juice… drink it while it’s hot, the plague will be resolved.”
Ye’s didn’t know what it was like at this time, the little girl in her arms was covered with blood on her slapped face, her voice was extremely low, and she waited for her to answer.
“I took it all down, let’s go down the mountain now, mother mother stop talking.”
Tang Zhuozuo let out a light sigh, and could no longer hold his eyes closed and fainted.
