    Chapter Index

    This night, there were a pair of people hugging each other and sleeping soundly, while there were also people who couldn’t sleep in this silent night.

    Bi Luo hung the tiger lantern at the head of the bed so that it could be seen as soon as she opened her eyes, and the tiger mask was placed beside her side with great care.Her eyes were bright, without the slightest trace of sleepiness. Thinking of everything she had spent with him tonight, the corners of her mouth raised unscrupulously, and her eyebrows were curved, full of the youthful spring of a girl in love.She reluctantly raised her eyes to look at the lanterns again, turned sideways and reached out to touch the mask, then pulled the quilt over her head and fell asleep with difficulty.

    Huo Sui, who was in the side room on the other side, was also tossing and turning, as if he felt unhappy everywhere.Sometimes he felt a little cold, so he pulled up the thick quilt to cover himself tightly, but the next moment he felt irritated and stuffy, and kicked the quilt away again. He pressed his fingertips to his forehead, and Bi Luo’s smiling face appeared in front of his eyes again.

    At this time, he felt that the air was getting hotter and hotter. He had seen Bi Luo in the palace before, but he had never felt as strange as he did today. What on earth had happened to him today.He involuntarily raised his big palm and placed it gently on his heart. His heart gradually accelerated again, and the heartbeat sound was as clear as a whisper in his ears. But gradually, the heartbeat sound gradually transformed into the familiar voice of a woman, shouting softly…

    General Huo, General Huo…

    Huo Sui was even more irritable. He quickly got up and drank a cup of herbal tea and shook his head to get all the messy things out of his mind. Then he lay back on the bed, closed his eyes tightly, and forced himself to fall asleep.

    The next morning, except for the two people who were hugging each other and sleeping soundly, the other two people were in a daze, as if they had not slept well last night.

    “What’s wrong with you? It’s rare that you don’t sleep well, but what happened last night?” Yan Zhaozhao took advantage of Bi Luo to drink porridge and sat down next to her to ask her a question. He saw her eating the porridge for a moment, and then it seemed like something was chasing her. She hurriedly took three mouthfuls of the porridge in the bowl and swallowed it in two, as if she was extremely guilty.

    “No, no. Maybe I had too much fun last night and was so excited that I couldn’t fall asleep.” Bi Luo’s words were both true and false. She was indeed too happy to fall asleep, but there was one less person to talk to.

    Yan Zhaozhao did not doubt that he was there, and hurriedly greeted him with thanks and asked him enthusiastically, “Are we going to continue playing today? Or are we going back to the palace?”

    Hearing this, Bi Luo, who was standing on one side, couldn’t help but pricked up his ears.Previously, she didn’t care when they were going back to the palace, she just wanted to follow her master. She quietly glanced at Huo Sui, who was still chewing the buns.But now… She selfishly wants to return to the palace in a few more days, so that this illusory dream can last a little longer.

    As if he heard what she was praying for, the next moment he heard Xie Ci say: “Let’s play for two more days before going back.” He raised his hand and gently scratched the bridge of Yan Zhaozhao’s nose, and his eyes were as soft as honey. How could he not see the eyes in his sweetheart’s eyes?It was not easy to leave the palace, and this time she came out of the palace without any discussion with the court officials. It was never easy for the emperor and empress to leave the palace together. Now that she had come out this time, he wanted to take her to have a good time before going back.”I’ll ask Huo Sui to find out what else is fun later, okay?”

    Yan Zhaozhao nodded repeatedly, how could she feel bad about it? When she heard that she could play outside the palace for a few more days, she felt both physically and mentally comfortable, and her appetite was also greatly increased.She glanced at the chicken shredded porridge that Xie Ciyan had not touched on the desk, and suddenly felt a little hungry. She tugged at the corner of the man’s clothes, looked at the bowl of porridge with cunning eyes, and then turned to look at Xie Ciyan, which was full of implications.

    Xie Ciyan laughed and held the bowl of porridge in front of her. He couldn’t help pinching her soft cheeks, “Little greedy cat.” Seeing her eating deliciously one bite after another, he couldn’t help but feel happy in his heart, “Eat more if you like it.”

    Yan Zhaozhao shook his head. After eating nearly half of the bowl, he put the bowl down and waved his hand to say that he couldn’t eat any more.

    Xie Ciyan habitually took out a square handkerchief from his arms and wiped the corners of her mouth, but she suddenly frowned, pressed the handkerchief with her palm and coughed heavily.He thought that Yan Zhaozhao had eaten too quickly and choked, so he poured a cup of warm tea for her to drink slowly, and lightly brushed her back with his big palm, trying to make her feel better.

    Yan Zhaozhao drank a few sips of warm tea from the man’s hand, and the sudden discomfort in her throat seemed to be relieved. She put down the square handkerchief in her hand, raised a slight smile, and wanted to tell Xie Ciyan that she was fine.

    But as soon as the words reached her throat, the discomfort that had just subsided came back more violently at this moment. There were cramps in her lower abdomen, and a warm current surged from bottom to top. Her throat couldn’t stop itching. She coughed heavily. For a moment, she felt as if her internal organs were being displaced due to the cough.Her throat was like a hidden sharp blade, and her chest was heaving violently. Every breath felt like a stone pressing tightly on her chest. The warm current could no longer be controlled, and it suddenly sprayed out from her red lips. Black and red blood dripped to the ground, like a coquettish and ominous flower blooming.

    “Zhao Zhao!”

    Xie Ciyan suddenly turned pale with shock, his face was livid, and his eyebrows were anxious.”What’s going on?! What’s wrong with Zhao Zhao?!”

    Yan Zhaozhao was in so much pain that even her lips were trembling slightly, and she was trembling so hard that she couldn’t even utter a complete sentence.”It hurts…it hurts…”

    As soon as he heard her cry out in pain, Xie Ciyan, who had always been calm and composed, suddenly lost his mind like crazy. The tight strings in his mind seemed to have completely broken at this moment. His body movements were already faster than his brain. He picked up Yan Zhaozhao, who was pale as a sheet in pain, and walked quickly to the wing upstairs. He did not forget to shout sharply: “Doctor! Call doctor!”

    Yan Zhaozhao suddenly vomited blood, and Bi Luo felt her heart beating rapidly, and her mind was completely blank. It was not until the emperor yelled that she suddenly realized what she was doing, and hurriedly rushed out to find the doctor.

    Because I was running so fast, I didn’t pay attention for a moment and stumbled.Her arm was suddenly held tightly by a warm palm, and she steadied herself.Her eyes were red with anxiety, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Huo Sui’s face was also gloomy. Seeing her like this, he still had the patience to talk to her: “I’ll walk faster, and I’ll go find the doctor. You stay and keep the food that the queen used, prepare water for her to drink, and try to make her vomit out what she has eaten.”

    Although she was panicked, she remembered all Huo Sui’s words, nodded to him, and said, “I know, thank you, General Huo.”

    The situation was urgent. After saying this, Huo Sui didn’t waste any time. He walked straight out of the inn. He touched the edge of the wall with his toes and jumped up to the eaves with Qinggong. He quickly walked to the nearby medical clinic to find a doctor.

    Yan Zhaozhao was so painful that beads of sweat covered her head, and even her temples were wet.She pressed her hands on her abdomen and curled up like a cooked shrimp, as if this would relieve the pain in her body.She didn’t know what was wrong with her, why she suddenly felt pain in her stomach like a knife, her ears were buzzing, and her eyes were turning white with pain. For a moment, she couldn’t tell whether it was the sweat that blurred her eyes or the pain that made her unconscious.”It hurts, it hurts…”

    Bi Luo hurriedly brought a basin of hot water in, wetted the handkerchief and wanted to wipe away the sweat dripping from his mother’s forehead. Seeing this, Xie Ciyan directly passed the handkerchief and wiped it gently for her, for fear that using too much force on his hands would make her more uncomfortable.

    “Zhaozhao, don’t be afraid. The doctor will be here soon.” He wiped her forehead bit by bit, his eyes full of distress. He seemed to be trying his best to endure it and keep himself calm, but the slightly trembling fingertips that were holding on to the handkerchief revealed the panic that was spreading in his heart.

    Immediately, he took the warm water poured by Bi Luo and kept feeding it to her. After finishing one cup, he took another cup from Bi Luo’s hand until Yan Zhaozhao couldn’t bear the drink anymore, so he covered his stomach and spit out all the water he had swallowed.After she vomited everything up, Xie Ciyan fed her again, trying to make her vomit everything she had eaten.

    He frequently turned back to look at the closed door of the wing. At this moment, time seemed to pass very slowly. He was so anxious that he gritted his teeth and didn’t even notice that his lip was bitten by himself. He was looking at the woman in pain in front of him, wishing that he could bear the pain.

    Finally, when Xie Ciyan couldn’t wait any longer and wanted to go out to find the doctor, the door of the wing was finally pushed open, and a slightly thin middle-aged man panting with a medicine box on his back walked to the bed. His face was slightly pale, as if he was about to be out of breath.

    “Quick, let’s see what’s going on with her!” Xie Ciyan didn’t dare to delay at all, and hurriedly made room so that the doctor could take Yan Zhaozhao’s pulse.

    Bi Luo glanced at the open door of the wing and saw that Huo Sui did not come back with the doctor.But now she was not in the mood to think about where he had gone. Her eyes were fixed on the doctor, her expression full of worry.

    After the doctor took a pulse, his face suddenly turned pale. He quickly stood up and thanked her, saying, “This noble young master, this, this girl has been poisoned!”

    Xie Ciyan’s heart trembled, and he suddenly seemed to have forgotten to breathe. His eyes widened in disbelief, and then he clenched the doctor’s arm tightly as if looking for a life-saving straw, “What kind of poison?! Treat it, cure it quickly! I can give you any precious medicinal materials you want, no matter what! As long as she can be cured!”

    Hearing this, the thin doctor swallowed his saliva and glanced at the man calmly.Judging from what he just said and the clothes he was wearing, he must be a person of high status, and he is someone that ordinary people like him cannot afford to offend.

    He looked guilty, his clothes soaked with cold sweat, “This, this… I don’t know how to cure this poison!”

    This was half true and half false. He knew what kind of poison he was poisoned and had seen the antidote to the poison in medical books. However, he had only seen it in books but never practiced it!If he were to put that untried pharmacy on the woman in front of him, he would be gambling with his own life.

    The man in front of him has a distinguished status. If the prescription fails, his life may not be saved.Instead of doing this, it would be better to tell him that he doesn’t know how to cure it, and that he can still hope to save his life.

    “Quack doctor!” Xie Ciyan was furious and slammed his palm on the desk with a gloomy look in his eyes. The doctor’s eyes were as if they were tempered with ice, and it was bone-chilling.

    “This, this…” The doctor hurriedly knelt down to defend himself, “Young master, you know this poison! This poison is really rare, and it is common for me not to understand it. Fortunately, the young master just induced vomiting for the girl, so that some of the poison could be vomited out. Although the residual poison is not cleared up now, the situation is much better than when she was first poisoned. I advise the young master to quickly find a doctor with good medical skills to detoxify the girl.”

    He glanced at the gloomy-looking man, and was in a dilemma. He could neither leave nor leave.He secretly wiped away the cold sweat, feeling that if he stayed here any longer, he might be about to lose his life.

    Suddenly, the door of the wing room was pushed open again, and Huo Sui, an energetic old man carrying a huge medicine box on his back, walked in, looking a little anxious.When Xie Ciyan saw the person coming, his eyes immediately lit up, and the gloomy expression just now completely faded away. He hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man in and took him to Yan Zhaozhao’s bed.”Mr. Shen, please take a quick look at Zhao Zhao. He seems to be poisoned.”

    The person who came was none other than Imperial Physician Shen from the army who had been following Xie Ciyan. Just in case the doctor didn’t know how to detoxify, Huo Suanran rushed back to the palace without stopping after finding the doctor and quickly brought Physician Shen out.Obviously, his concern was right. When the doctor saw a doctor coming, he was relieved.

    Xie Ciyan was too lazy to pay attention to the doctor at this time, and only looked back at Huo Sui with a grateful look.

    “Back to the young master, Madam has been poisoned by the poison of heartbroken grass. It is a very poisonous plant. After taking it, you will suffer from abdominal cramps and vomiting. If the dose is heavier, you will die immediately.” After the doctor Shen finished speaking, he saw the emperor’s face suddenly changed. His eyes were filled with despair and gloom. His eyes were tightly attached to the woman on the bed, for fear that the woman would die in front of him in the next second.Doctor Shen hurriedly continued: “Don’t worry, sir, the poisoning in my wife’s body is not too deep. In addition, she has already vomited out part of the poison. I have just given her the antidote, so she should be fine.”

    Although the poison of heartbroken grass is not common among the people, it often appears in the army and palace, so that Doctor Shen would keep several antidotes on his body from time to time for emergencies.

    Hearing this, Xie Ciyan breathed a sigh of relief as if he had lost all strength. Only then did he slowly realize that his legs were weak, and he fell on the couch while holding on to the edge of the bed.Until now, he held Yan Zhaozhao’s slightly cold hand tightly with his big palm that was still trembling slightly. Feeling her radiating body temperature, he felt that he was alive.

    He picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from the forehead of the sleeping woman, and then placed a very light kiss on the top of her hair. As if he was worried about disturbing the dreamer, he whispered: “It’s okay, sleep peacefully, and you can see me when you wake up.”

    He stayed by the bed with no intention of leaving, as if he wanted to wait until the person woke up and confirmed that everything was okay before he could completely relax.Imperial Physician Shen looked hesitant. He almost wanted to think, but he stepped forward and whispered to Xie Ciyan, “I have one more thing to report.”

    Since Imperial Physician Shen came forward to whisper to him, he could not announce the matter loudly. He made up his mind and asked Huo Sui and Bi Luo to go out and wait. Only then did he realize that the quack doctor had already escaped without knowing it.
