Chapter 247: 248 Forgot (Second update)
Chapter 247 248 Forgot (Second update)
In the guest courtyard, the originally lifeless air was filled with vitality due to the awakening of Wuhejia Tower.
Wuhejialou was a man of extremely strong willpower. After he was poisoned, he kept holding on at first, but then the poison spread and his condition became worse and worse. He fainted when he couldn't hold on any longer. He has been in a coma for five or six days now.
Now that he finally woke up, Qing Lai and his subordinates were all ecstatic, and the eyes they looked at Chu Qianchen became kinder and more respectful.
The weather is nice today, with crisp autumn air and bright sunshine.
Strands of bright sunlight shone in through the window, casting softly on the thin gauze curtain.
Wuhejialou lay flat on the couch, his face and lips were pale, his expression was weak, there was sweat on his forehead and temples, he was obviously trying his best to endure the pain caused by the poison.
"Princess Chen." Wuhejialou smiled slightly at Chu Qianchen.
Even if he is lying on the couch unable to move like this, even if he has experienced a huge change in life and death, his expression and smile are as gentle as before, his eyes are wise, and his expression is holy.
It seems that he has seen through life and death and the ups and downs of this world.
It was as if everything he experienced was just a destined disaster.
Chiangrai and the others who gathered around his bed all looked at him with burning eyes, as if they were looking at their own beliefs.
Wuhejialou had just woken up. As soon as he opened his eyes, there was a commotion around him. Some people asked him how he was feeling. Some people told him that they were in the suburbs of Beijing now. Some people immediately ran to find Chu Qianchen.
Everyone was a little confused, and they didn't have time to tell him what happened.
However, even if they didn't say anything, Uhagalou's extraordinary wisdom would be able to deduce the situation in an instant.
"Thank you, Princess." Wuhejialou nodded slightly, unable to hide his sick look. In the sunken eye sockets, his eyes were as deep as an abyss.
"Master, you're so polite." Chu Qianchen smiled lightly and sat down on a round stool next to the couch, "I'm here to diagnose the master's pulse."
Chu Qianchen checked Wuhe Jialou's pulse again.
The pulse under her fingertips was much calmer, unlike last night when she first saw Wuhe Jialou, her pulse was so weak that it might disappear at any time.
Seeing Chu Qianchen's brows relax, Qing Lai and others knew that the situation must be good. They looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
"Master, your poison is no longer a serious problem." Chu Qianchen stroked his sleeves and said, "Drink the original recipe for another three days. After three days, we should be able to return to Prince Chen's Mansion. At that time, I will start again I’ll just give you a medicinal bath to drive out the remaining poison from your body.”
"As long as the poison is detoxified, everything else is trivial."
Chu Qianchen said it very easily, as if this was just an ordinary minor illness, but both Uhagalou and Qingrai knew that the poison in Uhagalou was not simple. The poison was called "The Moon" ".
This name looks elegant, but it is a poison that has no cure. It is the secret medicine of Nanhao's court.
"酹月" means spilling wine to reward the moon. Once a person is poisoned by this poison, the toxin will soon spread to the heart and lungs along with the blood, and no one will survive until dawn. Another characteristic of this poison is that the appearance remains unchanged after death, just like the living person falling asleep.
In Nan Hao's harem, it was mostly used to deal with concubines and princes who had committed crimes. There were also high-ranking people who voluntarily took the poison before they died to keep their bodies intact.
Chiang Rai and others knew that since the people who were chasing them had used "酹月", they probably wanted to take Wuhajialou's body back to Jianye City so that they could claim credit from the pseudo-emperor Wuhaduluo.
If Wuhejialou hadn't taken the life-saving pill made by Chu Qianchen after being poisoned, he would have been a lonely soul.
Now, Chu Qianchen said that she could help Wuhejialou completely cure this strange poison "Yue", and others were convinced.
Chiang Rai solemnly clasped his fists and thanked him again.
Chu Qianchen added: "For the time being, the wound on the mage's shoulder should be treated with medicine every day. After the remaining poison is completely removed, we will see if the wound needs to be sutured."
"The Master has just woken up. I think you all have important matters to discuss, so I will take my leave first."
Chu Qianchen didn't stay long and said goodbye very wisely.
Although Wuhejialou's expression was calm and his tone was gentle, somewhat calm like a mountain that collapsed before him, but Chu Qianchen knew that his heart was far from as calm as he showed.
His father was killed, his homeland was taken away from him, several of his attendants died in the escape, and he himself was poisoned and suffered deeply from the poison and injuries...
After all, people are human beings, not Buddhas. As long as they are human beings, they cannot truly transcend the greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt of the mortal world.
However, even in a crisis-ridden trough, Wuhejialou did not feel sorry for himself, let alone be controlled by sadness and hatred, and lose himself.
This person's will is indeed extremely tenacious. It's no wonder that in his previous life he was able to turn against the wind, regain what was his, and secure Nanhao's throne!
Those chaotic thoughts only flashed through Chu Qianchen's mind.
When she turned around and looked into Gu Jue's familiar eyes, she had already put all these things behind her and showed a soft and sweet smile to Gu Jue.
Gu Jue was waiting for her at the door, as if he was here just to accompany her.
After the couple left, the curtain leading to the outside opened and fell. Chu Qianchen's voice could be heard coming in through a thin curtain: "Your Majesty, would you like to play chess with me? There is a chessboard here. Bar?"
"Okay." The two of them walked away quickly, and the people in the room couldn't hear what else they said after that.
Wuhejialou withdrew his gaze from the door curtain and said softly: "This time it's King Fanlaochen."
He was still in a coma for several days, and had not eaten much. As a result, he was weak and haggard, and his voice was hollow and feeble.
But his eyes were extremely bright, like a clear spring water.
King Chen Gu Jue was a man of brilliance and grace, just like the rumors said.
From the State of Qi to the State of Hao and then back to the State of Qi, they experienced several narrow escapes. Gu Jue not only did not abandon them, but also did not use them in exchange for benefits. It can be seen that this man has a rift in his chest and has something to do. Don't do anything.
Probably only such a person can hold up half of the sky for the Qi State, and make the Northern Army and the people of the Northern Territory admire him.
Chiang Rai and others looked at each other, and one of them, a young man in black with a square face, echoed: "It's the eldest prince who has a sharp eye."
The young man in black felt complicated. In fact, the eldest prince had already warned Emperor Hao that Wuhaduluo was ambitious and asked Emperor Hao to be careful. He did not expect that things would develop to this point.
Chiang Rai said: "First Prince, there is no news from the country yet."
The capital is two thousand miles away from Hao State, and there is a river separating the two countries, so it is quite inconvenient to transmit news.
Everyone frowned, showing anger, irritability, annoyance, unwillingness and other emotions, as if there were flames burning in their eyes.
Wuhejialou said again: "There is no hurry."
His expression and tone were still so calm.
Although the person was very weak and these two words were spoken very softly, other people felt that their hearts had become calmer.
It seems that as long as Wuhagalou is there, they can overcome any difficulties and they can be reborn from the ashes.
The bright sun outside the window seemed to be infected by this atmosphere, becoming hotter and brighter.
Chu Qianchen played several games with Gu Jue as he wished, and did not leave Zhuangzi until near dusk the next day. Jiang Yuan drove him, and the master and servant returned to the capital before the city gate closed.
Because Gu Jue was back, she was in a great mood, until she met Chu Yunyi's sorrowful eyes after returning to the palace.
"You...did you forget me?!"
Chu Yunyi was like an abandoned little beast, almost jumping on his feet.
It had been almost half a month since he was seriously injured at Yuan Qingguan and was left by Chu Qianchen in Prince Chen's Mansion.
From the beginning, he couldn't move on the couch, let alone get off the ground, and couldn't even sit up. Later, Chu Qianchen gave him injections and medicine every day, and gradually, he could get off the ground and walk.
Chu Yunyi was so idle during this period that he was almost bored, and he also figured it out.
In the past few days, he was able to go to the ground, walk, and run. He was planning to wait for Chu Qianchen to come back next time, so he lowered his head and admitted his mistake. Unexpectedly, Chu Qianchen didn't come to see him for three whole days.
Chu Yunyi also thought about whether Chu Qianchen was still angry with him. After seeing that he was healed, he didn't bother to pay attention to him. He just stayed there and didn't dare to leave, for fear of adding more mistakes to his mistakes.
However, three days later, Chu Qianchen did not send him away. Early this morning, someone actually sent him a copy of the certificate, which contained fifty taels of silver, which was twice as much as the twenty-two copies he had in the Hou Mansion. Duo, it was delivered personally by Aunt Cai from the palace. Everyone in the palace seemed to have forgotten that he was not from Prince Chen's palace.
Chu Yunyi deeply felt that the people in Prince Chen's Mansion were really weird, and none of them treated his uncle as an outsider.
He muttered, but he was still very happy in his heart, so he asked someone to find Hu Hu, intending to take the initiative to confess his mistake to Chu Qianchen.
Unexpectedly, Amber said: "Young Master, the princess is not here. She left the capital the night before and I don't know when she will come back."
At that moment, Chu Yunyi was simply dumbfounded.
His sister actually left him and ran away alone!
Chu Yunyi felt that she was just a cabbage in the field, no one cared for her, no one loved her.
He was so wronged that he planned to go back to the Marquis' Mansion. Anyway, when his sister came back, she might not remember whether he was there in the Prince's Mansion.
Who would have thought that before he went out, he heard from the concierge that the princess was back.
Chu Yunyi said sourly: "I thought you didn't want me anymore."
Chu Qianchen: "..."
Yes, she was so happy because the prince was back that she forgot that this boy was still in the palace.
