Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! - Chapter 70

Shen Xuan’s body has always been very good, and even minor illnesses have been rare for so many years, let alone fever. Xiao Changning knows that once people who are not easily ill become ill, it is really dangerous.

He is not awake yet, even in his sleep, his brows are frowned, and he seems to be unstable. Xiao Changning ordered the maidservant to come up with hot water and lifted the bedding to wipe off the cold sweat by himself.

Shen Xuan’s chest rises and falls, her tight muscles are covered with a thin layer of sweat, showing a morbid paleness, and a faint light red oozes under the bandage, and this blood color has a tendency to continue to spread…It shouldn’t be Ah, with Shenxuan’s physique, such a small wound should have been scabbed early.

Xiao Changning wiped his hands for a while, feeling a little surprised, and he hurriedly removed the bandage on his forearm to take a look, and he was stunned.

It was obviously a hair-thin wound, but it didn’t heal for a long time. The blood beads ooze out from the wound, red and swollen and hot, as if they could not clot on their own. She hurriedly removed a few more bandages, and the other wounds were bleeding. The injuries were obviously not as simple as she had imagined!

A bad premonition swept over, and Xiao Changning didn’t care about wiping it. He stretched out his hand and patted Shen Xuan’s cheek, and said anxiously, “Shen Xuan, Shen Xuan! You wake up!”

Shen Yan frowned, and subconsciously raised her palm to grab Xiao Changning, her voice was low and dumb, almost indistinguishable: “Changning…” His eyelashes trembled, as if he wanted to open it, but it was in vain.

His palms were very hot and hot, and his cheeks were slightly pale, but his lips showed an abnormal blush, his eyes closed tightly, as if he was stuck in a nightmare of sickness, unable to break free.

Xiao Changning was really panicked, but instead he held Shen Xu’s hot palm and called out, “Come here!”

Azhu and Dongsui put down their buddies and rushed in. Dongsui asked, “What is your command?”

Al-Zhu thought that Xiao Changning was urging Shenxuan’s wind-cold medicine, so he said crisply, “Admiral Shen’s medicine is being boiled. It will be ready in a quarter of an hour.”

“The medicine is gone, he is not cold.”

“But the imperial doctor said…”

“Azhu, you listen to my palace, hurry up to the East Factory and invite your uncle over! Hurry up!”

Xiao Changning’s face was pale, his voice trembled, and his eyes were full of anxiety. After all, Dong Sui has been with Xiao Changning for many years. At the sight of her appearance, he knew that the situation was serious, and said with a wink at Al Zhu: “His Royal Highness ordered, you go quickly!”

When Ah Zhu rushed out the door, Xiao Changning sat on the side of the couch without strength, his back was chilly, and he was soaked in cold sweat. Dong Sui took out her veil and wiped her sweat, and said worriedly: “His Royal Highness, what’s the matter with you? You just said that Admiral Shen is not cold, what is going on?”

As soon as he mentioned this, Xiao Changning’s eyes turned red, and he reached out to hold Shen Xuan’s palm against his forehead, and said tremblingly: “His blood…can’t stop.”

Before Dongsui ran into the master for fear of being rude, she kept avoiding looking at Shen Xuan’s figure on the couch. Now the situation is not right. She glanced quickly, her eyes widened with horror, and her lips trembled and could not speak.

Shen Xuan’s body was mottled with blood, and a steady stream of fine blood oozes out, almost dyeing the bandage red, but her lips showed a strange blush. This is indeed not like a wind chill, but like…

Poisoning.

Wu Youfu was sweating profusely when he came over, and the other three chief officers also stood out panting and saluted, apparently rushing over. As he wiped his sweat, Azhu grabbed his head and walked in to report: “Your Highness, Uncle is here!”

“Quick, let him in!”

The four main officers are all here, and through the veil, watching Shen Xuan lying on the couch sleeping, the atmosphere is dull for a while. Xiao Changning could feel their worries. The more time this happened, the less she couldn’t panic. Shenxuan was already ill, and someone must take his place to support the Dongchang factory.

Thinking of this, she settled down and asked in a low voice, “Chairman Wu, what’s the situation?”

Wu Youfu was closing his eyes and cutting the pulse for Shen Xuan, then looked over the **** wounds on his body, and said solemnly: “It is indeed a sign of poisoning.”

Everyone’s heart sank.

“He said that it was a kind of hidden weapon of Beidi people. The silver thread blows and breaks the hair. It is extremely sharp, but he didn’t expect the silk thread to be poisonous.” At this point, Xiao Changning’s throat choked with panic, “Can you know what poison it is? “

Wu Youfu said: “You need to find the remaining hidden weapon and study it, so you know what the poison is. Your Highness must not panic. The subordinates have ordered someone to get the silver wire hidden weapon. If you lose too much blood, the wound will ulcerate and endanger your life.”

“My palace used to know that there is a kind of severe poison. When the poison is in the shape of wind and cold, it can cause sudden death in a few days, and there is no medical treatment for medicine and stone…”

Xiao Changning’s eyes were red, and his fingers were tightly twisted together, “I don’t want to think about it, but Shen Xuan’s first symptom at this time is also cold, which really makes my palace feel uneasy.”

The poison was once given to her by the Empress Dowager and ordered her to use it to kill Shen Xuan. At the beginning, she was useless, but now she sees that the symptoms of Shenxuan’s poisoning are so similar to the bottle of poison that the Queen Mother once gave, and Xiao Wan’an, the daughter of the Queen Mother, has mingled with the Beidi people again… all the signs are really indispensable. It makes people think.

Fang Wujing couldn’t bear it anymore, and said ruthlessly: “His Royal Highness, don’t be afraid, when I go to jail for an interrogation, I will tell Beidi Barbarian to tell the whereabouts of the antidote!”

Lin Huan nodded: “I’ll go too!”

The two of them flashed, and rushed out of the hall with all their hostility.

Wu Youfu did not stop them, but comforted Xiao Changning: “Many of the first symptoms are like wind and cold, varying from mild to severe, not necessarily the kind of poison in your Highness’s mouth. Don’t worry, detoxification with poison is The subordinate’s expertise, and the factory superintendent’s fortune and great life, will turn evil into good fortune.”

Xiao Changning nodded, stretched out his hand to tuck the quilt for Shen Xie, stared at his pale and deep eyebrows, and finally couldn’t hold back the tears.

She quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, restless, and stood up and said: “I’m troubled by Chief Wu to take care of me, and my palace will go to the Hall of Yangxin.”

After taking the bottle of poison, she was caught upright by Shen Xuan. In a hurry, she stuffed the poison-drug to Xiao Huan. If Shen Xuan was really caught by that kind of strange poison, would he be able to find a way to crack it if he asked for poison-drug research from Xiao Huan?

She walked in a hurry, and almost fell several times. When she reached the Hall of Yangxin with Dong Sui’s hand, the cold sweat had wetted her sideburns, partly because she was extremely worried, partly because she was really uncomfortable under the great sadness and worries of her body. .

In the Hall of Nourishing the Heart, Xiao Huan’s expression was also not very good.

He obviously stayed up all night, with a faint cyan color under his eyes, and his originally round boy’s face was a lot thinner, revealing a bit of melancholy.

Seeing the notice from the attendant, he raised his eyes from behind the book case and saw Xiao Changning who was pale at the door. He couldn’t help but stood up and said, “Sister, why is your face so pale?” I don’t know if he has cried or why. The voice was hoarse, as if it had been polished by coarse paper.

Yesterday Xiao Huan came back from Crescent Lake alone, and Empress Liang Yourong was missing. After coming back, he has been depressed and unhappy at the desk, criticizing memorials, and tossing himself haggard. An official asked him about the whereabouts of the queen. He only said that the court had been turbulent and had many disasters since he was enthroned. The queen was concerned about the great cause of common people and volunteered to go to the mountain monastery outside the city to eat and pray for three years, praying for the Jiangshan shrine.

Baiguan knew that praying for blessing Xu was an excuse, and Xiao Changning also understood that there must be a hidden secret between them. However, when she came here in a hurry today, she didn’t care about asking what happened between Xiao Huan and the queen, and just asked him bluntly: “The emperor. , The bottle of poison-drug given to me by Empress Dowager Liang in the fall of last year…I just wanted to use it to poison the bottle of Shen Xuan, but is it still with you?”

Xiao Huan’s bloodshot eyes were dull for a moment before reacting. She was a little surprised at why she suddenly asked about this. After thinking about it, she said: “The day A sister gave it to me, I threw it in. In the lotus root pond, it must have already dissolved and flowed away with the water.”

A trace of defeat flashed in Xiao Changning’s eyes, and said hollowly, “Is it lost?”

Her expression was so terrible that even Xiao Huan couldn’t help feeling compassionate when she saw it, and asked her: “Sister, what’s the matter, why are you suddenly asking about this? Is there something wrong?”

Xiao Changning shook his head, and only said to Xiao Huan: “You should have a good time and rest, so that sooner or later you will end up ruining your body.”

Xiao Huan did not respond, but still looked at her, sensitively aware of the air of uncertainty, and was quite deliberate: “Sister has something to hide from me, how can I rest in peace? I heard from the hospital that Admiral Shen is unwell, but Better?”

Xiao Changning had a meal, and then twitched the corners of his lips: “It’s better, the fever is gone… It will be better after a sleep.”

Xiao Huan watched her look, and it took a long time to pretend to bend his eyes easily: “That’s good, when I feel more relaxed, I will go to see your husband and wife.”

Xiao Changning nodded and walked out of the Hall of Nurturing Heart with all his heart.

The only hope now is to pray that the poison in Shen Xuan is not the one given by the abolishing queen dowager Liang, and pray that Wu Youfu can formulate an antidote as soon as possible…

Her mind was complicated and dizzy, suddenly she heard someone calling her from a distance.

Xiao Changning withdrew from the mixed thoughts and looked up, only to see Yue Yao galloping all the way, looking anxiously: “His Royal Highness! Is your Shenxuan okay?”

“Sister Yue…”

“Shen Xuan was also injured, right? Then he has fever, cold, and bleeding symptoms?”

Xiao Changning was startled, and said in amazement: “Could it be that you too…”

“It’s not me! It’s Master Wenling Yinwen!”

Yueyao interrupted her anxiously, “I just went to the Taiyuan Hospital to ask for medicine. The people at Taiyuan Hospital diagnosed with wind-cold disease. It was a coincidence that Shenxuan also contracted the wind-cold, but I always felt that something was wrong. Shenxuan Master He Wen was injured by Bei Di’s hidden weapon at the same time, and when he came back he bleeds and the high fever does not go away. It is by no means as simple as a wind chill!”

Yue Yao’s speech speed is very fast, and I can hear that Wen Lingyin’s state is no better than Shen Xu’s.

If Xiao Changning was able to carry it by herself before, now there is another Yue Yao who is sick and pitying with her. The little bit of strong calm in her heart collapses instantly, and the roots of her nose are astringent, and it is already time to recover. It is blurred vision.

“The hidden weapon is poisonous.”

Xiao Changning choked, covered his eyebrows with palms, letting tears run across his cheeks, “What should we do, Sister Yue?”
