[R18] Will drink wine – “About Wine” Chapter 235 [English]

Chapter 225: Opponent (Part 1)

Fengquan knelt beside the couch and tasted the medicine Li Jianting wanted to take.

Li Jianting’s face was pale, with cold sweat on his temples, and he was still trembling as he lay on the couch.She was covered with quilt, but she seemed to be suppressed, and she let out a small whimper along with her rapid breathing.

The imperial doctor in the palace did not dare to mess around. He checked Li Jianting’s pulse over and over again through the curtain, wiping sweat from time to time and repeating the prescription to the people around him.

Kong Qiu had faced this situation twice with Hai Liangyi, but this was the first time since he took charge of it alone.The hands hidden in his sleeves were sweaty, and even the sweat dripped into his eyes, and he did not dare to blink.

If the prince dies.

Kong Qiu didn’t dare to think about it at all. He closed his eyes with difficulty, thinking of the heavy rain in the Guangou case, and how much determination Hai Liangyi had to make to say such words.

teacher.

Kong Qiu couldn’t help but grit his teeth.

It would be nice if the teacher was still here, but he couldn’t even speak at the moment. Listening to the prince’s intermittent voice, he even felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

Li Jianting drank the decoction, and her eyes were still rolling, as if she had been suffocated by a nightmare.Feng Quan knelt for a whole day, daring to brush away Li Jianting’s wet hair in the gap where the ladies on the left and right had retreated, and watched Li Jianting’s expression change.

This game was a disaster. No matter whether the prince could survive or not, the palace eunuchs who served the prince in the palace would not survive.

Feng Quan had to find his own way out in this desperate situation. He hadn’t finished his work yet, so Li Jianting must not die.

“Your Highness…” Feng Quan called Li Jianting quietly. Because he was so close, he saw the tiny hole in Li Jianting’s earlobe.He’s heart skipped a beat and he said: “Your Highness struggled out of the Qin Tower and Chu Pavilion. He was only a stone’s throw away from the Ninth Five-Year Master. If you lose heart at this moment, you will fall short… Your Highness!”

Li Jianting seemed unable to hear, and clenched the quilt tightly with his fingers.She is lying in this splendor and splendor, but her heart is still trapped in the most filthy Goulan Courtyard in the world.

There were still sobs in Li Jianting’s throat, which were begging for mercy when he was beaten.

God played a trick on her and gave her this identity, but made her born a girl.Those jingling earrings were mixed in with the overturning of tables and chairs. She fell into them countless times and was dragged by her hair in front of the smelly man.

Xiangyun is a good mother who knows how to make the best use of everything.

* * *

Lingting is a girl adopted by Xiangyun, but she is not special. Xiangyun has adopted too many children.Xiangyun will pick up their chin and look at them carefully to decide their path.

Lingting is good-looking, but she is not lovable.Xiangyun looked at her and found that her eyes were surprisingly annoying.

“It looks very beautiful, but also very fierce,” Xiangyun smoked her pipe. “It would be better to blind these eyes, so that they are misty and misty, so that men can feel pity.”

Lingting was thin and small, but Xiangyun gave her food and didn’t really blind her eyes, so Lingting was very grateful to Xiangyun.She watches men come and go in Xiangyunfang every day and serves the ladies in the hall.She has no fixed master, and spends all day running barefoot in the corridor, serving tea and water to her sisters, and watching them apply powder and incense.

My daughter’s house smells really good.

Lingting knelt beside the door, holding on to the pillow, secretly sniffing the fragrance inside like a puppy.She looked at those plump bodies covered with silk and satin, looked at those slender jade fingers holding gold and jade bracelets, and then listened to the sweet voices of the sisters, she had infinite yearning for the world of her daughter’s home.

Xiangyun, wearing a shawl like clouds, stopped beside Lingting like a weak willow in the wind.After she drank the wine, her face glowed with light. She smiled infatuatedly a few times. She bent down and held Lingting’s face and said, “Dog… Mommy will give you earrings.”

The golden thread, with its pearls hanging on it, slid coolly along the shell of Lingting’s ear, and finally fell on the 氍毹.Lingting looked at Xiangyun blankly. Xiangyun had already raised her body and walked away with a smile.

“Mom has a big guest today,” the sister inside threw the Zhu Chai into the box and said drunkenly, “The second young master of King Libei.”

There was a chuckle inside.

Lingting didn’t know who King Libei was, nor did she know who the second young master was.She carefully picked up the gold thread pearl pendant and quietly held it in her hand.

In the evening, drinks were being served in the hall. Lingting followed the maid in and saw King Chu lying on the couch, drunk and talking nonsense.Several young masters from aristocratic families accompanied her, but Xiangyun ignored her. She sat reservedly beside someone’s chair, as dignified as a lady.

Xiao Chiye was wearing a crow green uniform. This outfit could not suppress his arrogance.He seemed to have had some wine too, setting up a chair and playing dice with the young man next to him.

Lingting was waiting by the side to pour wine for the noble man. After pouring wine for half a night, everyone became drunk during the dinner.Li Jianheng took Xiangyun and encouraged him to drink. Xiao Chiye seemed to have had all the fun, but he never touched the girl at the table.

Li Jianheng puffed out the turbid smell of alcohol, pointed at Xiao Chiye to Xiangyun, and said, “This is me…my brother! King Libei, the son of the king…went to war…” He burped and laughed, “Ce’an is a real…real guy.”

Xiao Chiye laughed heartily, lowered his long fingers, threw the dice into the golden bottle, and said casually with disapproval: “The battlefield stinks, how can this gentle country be comfortable? The second young master will live and die drunk here.”

Li Jianheng pushed Xiangyun over, Xiao Chiye’s hand slipped and caught the golden cup, and Xiangyun fell into someone else’s arms.They drank until they vomited, and when they took a break, the table was full of messes.

In her purring voice, Lingting remembered that she was still holding a gold wire earring in her palm. When she saw the horn of the mirror exposed in the room, she stood up on her tiptoes and quietly touched the earring on her earlobe in front of the mirror.

The pearl swayed in the fine hair, revealing a beautiful light.

So beautiful.

Lingting was thinking like this when she suddenly heard the sound of drinks being spilled. She was so frightened that she stopped her hand in a hurry, and discovered from snooping that the second young master from the north was still awake.

Xiao Chiye didn’t look at anyone. He was clearly in this dazzling prosperity, but he still kept a distance.He won’t go in, and he doesn’t want his sister to accompany him.He’s arms were still draped over the chair, his brows were sharp, his eyes were clear, and he was looking in the direction of Libei through the open window.

Lingting retreated to the door, wiped off the gold wire earrings stained with sweat, put them away close to her body, and slept with them.Not long afterward, Xiangyun remembered the gold wire earrings she had thrown away.

Xiangyun called Lingting to her, turned around while dressing in the mirror, suddenly laughed, and said, “She’s twelve.”

Li Jianting vomited out all the decoction in his throat. The palace maid in the palace brought clean hot water and Fengquan washed the towel and wiped it for Li Jianting.Li Jianting was half awake, her eyes were dim, she felt the hot towel brushing against her temples, and the water droplets flowed down like tears.

The prince does not wear earrings, but Lingting does.

“Domestic animals…” Li Jianting made a painful sound between his teeth.

livestock!

Lingting was wearing earrings, and the beautiful gold threads were flowing in her tears.She struggled to get free, but was dragged back every time.She cried, her head was pressed, and her forehead was bruised.

Let me go.

Lingting sobbed, her raised face covered with sweat and tears.She stared at the closed door, trying to find a glimmer of hope there.

“Mom…” Lingting shouted, “Go around me…”

The only answer she got was applause.

livestock!

Li Jianting’s trembling fingers clenched the quilt, causing her chest to rise and fall violently. She recognized who she was amidst her endless cries.

She was just a domestic animal, reduced to a sacrifice from the moment she was born, abandoned in the most filthy place in the world, and finally stuck in a cramped and narrow room. Through the cracks, she realized that what she saw in the past were all illusions. None of those daughters had escaped this fate. They were all…all domestic animals to be slaughtered.

Lingting raised her hand and dug at the gap with her broken nails.

How come she was born a girl?

This body is disgusting!

Lingting clawed at the gap like crazy, and roared outside with bloody traces: “Mom…” She said with hatred, “Kill me!”

If she is allowed to live.

If she were allowed to live like a human being.

“I…” Lingting pressed her forehead, crying and laughing at the earrings on the ground.

She killed herself, peeled off this layer of flesh, abandoned everything about the girl, fought for it, bit it, and asked for what she deserved!

Just give her a chance.

“Your Highness!”

Feng Quan couldn’t help but raise his voice when he saw Li Jianting vomiting again.

The imperial doctor outside had already stood up. Kong Qiu’s heart felt cold. He took a few steps back hastily and was supported by Cen Yu.

“What if…” Kong Qiu couldn’t say anything.

The door curtain was raised with a swish. Xue Xiuzhuo’s breathing had not yet calmed down. He heard the movement inside and understood what Kong Qiu had not finished saying.However, he is not a doctor who can rejuvenate, and there is nothing he can do about it.

The atmosphere in the palace was solemn, and the courtiers did not even dare to express their anger.Gong’e came in and out with medicine, and Fengquan kept feeding Li Jianting medicine.Li Jianting muttered to himself, Feng Quan couldn’t hear clearly what she was saying, so he could only kneel down and lower his head, close to Li Jianting’s lips.

“It’s a shame…” Li Jianting’s lips quivered, “…a mistake.”

Feng Quan’s eyes were soaked with sweat between the dim curtains. He covered his mouth and said softly: “Your Highness is the true phoenix in the world. As long as you bite this breath, you will be able to turn evil into good!”

Li Jianting’s rapid breathing was intermittent. She seemed to finally hear what Feng Quan was saying, and the sobs in her throat gradually subsided.After drinking all the decoction, she choked it out from her mouth and nose. Gong’e was so panicked that she fell to the ground and cried. Fengquan paid no attention to anyone, but stayed by the bed and poured it in for the prince.

Liang Miaoshan, who was still guarding the cell, was so anxious that he finished a pot of tea and stood outside waiting for news.The stars were shining brightly above his head. He ignored the moonlight in the courtyard and heard heavy footsteps coming from outside the courtyard.

“What are you doing!” Liang Miaoshan couldn’t help but take two steps when he saw the Eighth Battalion coming in.

The leading man raised his waistband and said: “The Ministry of Punishment’s ticket clearly states that Pan Xiangjie is arrested, but you dare to use it for personal gain. Our governor is here to supervise the case under the orders of the Queen Mother, so why don’t you release him quickly!”

Liang Miaoshan knew that this moment was the key, so he let Han Cheng go, and Pan Xiangjie and Pan Lin couldn’t keep them either.he gritted his teeth, raised his chest and raised his head, and said, “I am here to examine Han Cheng under the orders of the Crown Prince and Yuan Fu. I will never let him go without the Crown Prince and Yuan Fu’s money!”

The man took a few steps closer and said, “Crown Prince? The current ruler of the world is the Queen Mother!”

Liang Miaoshan stared in horror, seeing the menacing attack of the Eighth Battalion, he backed away and said, “What else do you want to do…”

“The gang has infiltrated Zhongbo Xizuo. Let’s seal the city gate.” The man hung his badge back on his waist. “Of course we have to check carefully and search the hospital!”

The eight camps all carry knives. This “search” is obviously not as simple as it sounds.Liang Miaoshan understood in an instant that the Dancheng case was too pressing, and the Queen Mother jumped over the wall in a hurry, and there was no room for people like them.

“I am… an official of the imperial court…” Liang Miaoshan retreated steadily in front of the blade.

The three officials who accepted the case retreated. They were all civil servants, so they could not withstand such coercion.The old dream of Namlin hunting ground during the Hamdeok years came to mind, and the officials had a premonition that a storm was coming.

“The commander-in-chief is still in Qidu, how dare you be so arrogant,” Liang Miaoshan had already retreated to the door of the cell, he said deceitfully, “Qidong’s soldiers haven’t come out yet!”

The eight battalions at the door immediately drew their swords, and they looked around in surprise.Qi Zhuyin’s personal soldiers went to the battlefield, and there were thousands of Qidong garrison guarding outside the city.They just want to take advantage of the prince’s critical illness tonight to take advantage of the situation and use Zhongbo Xi as an excuse to kill these courtiers. After daybreak, even the Qidong garrison entering the city will be unable to save the day.

Liang Miaoshan took the opportunity to retreat into the prison and tighten the chain from the inside.He opened his arms and squeezed the officials behind him, and everyone fled inward in panic.

The Eighth Battalion’s knife was twisted into the chain, and the door was pushed with a clang.

The man smiled ferociously through the door and said: “Dog officer! Do you think you can sit back and relax if you lock the door? Light a fire!”

Pan Xiangjie, who was on the innermost side, said hurriedly: “Stop! Don’t set the fire, don’t set the fire! The commander is still here, you can’t burn everything down!”

Liang Miaoshan raised the oil lamp and continued: “You two corrupt officials deserve to be burned to death! But the light of the fire will definitely attract the attention of the garrison outside the city. When the garrison comes in, they will kill you group of rebels!”

The man outside withdrew the knife from the gap, his face uncertain. The Queen Mother had indeed given an order not to alert the Qidong garrison outside the city.The prince is in danger, he. Counting the time, it has been a while, and there is no news in the palace. The prince is probably cold enough, so he is relieved and his face is a little brighter.

“Master Liang,” he said, raising his hand to signal the team behind him to go around. “You are now on errands at the Ministry of Household Affairs. You watch money flowing in and out all day long, but you still live in a broken courtyard. Why bother? Why don’t you take this opportunity to abandon the darkness and turn to the light? You will have a bright future in the future.”

Liang Miaoshan’s chest was pounding, and he was happy to delay the time with the other party, so he said: “I only have a small salary, and I am content to stay in the shabby courtyard.”

“The best way to enjoy the shade is to have your back against a big tree,” this man, who was Han Cheng’s confidant, said calmly as he paced, “It’s stormy outside, how many days of peace are there in Qudu? Get a good master as soon as possible, and you can continue to serve the court in the future.”

“We all have different opinions. Our allegiance is to the emperor, to the Zhou Dynasty, and to the Li family. If it were replaced by someone else, wouldn’t it subvert Gang Chang and cause chaos?” The oil lamp in Liang Miaoshan’s hand was almost burnt out. He said, “I also want to persuade you to put down the butcher’s knife. It is not too late to wake up now. When the prince ascends the throne, I can still remember you for your contribution.”

The man gave a light “tsk” and said, “In that case, then you should accompany the prince for a while.”

he As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Miaoshan heard the small iron window on the wall being smashed open, and the Eighth Battalion was thrown into the smoking straw bag. The prison was filled with smoke for an instant, choking the officials and coughing into their sleeves, and tears streaming from their eyes.
