Half in the river wind, half in the clouds
Chapter 17: Drinking? The Deadly Kind
The night became unreal, and the crackling of the bonfire and the clinking of glasses in the distance became silent.
The stars are shining brightly, the wind blows through the tree shadows, and the crape myrtle flowers are facing the crape myrtle man.
Li Longye was a hero who had come out of the world of rouge and powder, with beautiful concubines at home and beauties around him, but he had never been so emotional. For a moment, he could not help himself and wanted to embrace both the flowers and the beauties.
He suppressed his stupid thoughts in annoyance, and reached out to take the flowers, but still took the opportunity to hold the girl's hand, which was soft and delicate. Jiang Feng's face flushed, and he felt the warmth of the bearded man's palm, and pulled his hand away as if it was burned, but Li Longye still didn't let go.
Jiang Feng was outmatched and felt embarrassed and angry, so he bit the big hand that was like an iron clamp.
Li Longye felt pain and let go of Jiang Feng. There were two rows of thin teeth marks on the base of his thumb, and he felt a tingling sensation.
Li Longye frowned: "Such good teeth! Are you a dog?"
"A gentleman uses his mouth, not his fists!" Jiang Feng rubbed his wrist.
"Really?" Li Longye looked teasingly. He grabbed Jiang Feng's pink and tender little hand without saying a word and took a big bite at the same spot.
There were also two rows of tooth marks, so deep that blood could be seen.
"I am also a gentleman!"
Jiang Feng felt both pain and annoyance. It was really a case of hurting the enemy by 800 and hurting himself by 1,000. Why bother?
Li Longye got the upper hand and was in a good mood. He looked at the little man who was full of grievances and helpless and said, "Why don't you go and take your seat!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng felt as if he had been pardoned and fled in panic. His slender figure turned around the screen, still leaving a sweet fragrance.
Li Longye was about to return to the table when he caught a glimpse of the wine glass that the girl had left on the side. After thinking for a moment, he took it in his hand.
He walked straight to Jiang Feng's table, and in full view of everyone, he leaned over and placed the wine glass on the table. Then he took the wine pot held by the attendant, filled a glass, and handed it to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng's cheeks were burning hot, as if they were about to bleed, and his chest was beating louder and louder.
Li Longye was calm and composed, with fire burning in his eyes, and she seemed like a whole lamb roasted over a raging fire.
She didn't take the wine, but just looked at Li Longye stubbornly.
One of them is an experienced hunter in the jungle, who has already drawn his bow and arrows and is eyeing his prey eagerly;
One is a cunning but innocent spotted deer, who follows the jungle law of "run away if you can't afford to offend" as his guiding principle.
She looked at the other person's increasingly deep smile, feeling her own aura slowly disappearing, and reached out to take the wine glass. The bite marks on the knuckles of both of them, facing each other across the glass, inevitably made people think of something.
Li Longye smiled even more, and Jiang Feng drank it all in one gulp with a red face.
The hunter put on the tiger tendon string, straightened the swallowtail, and the eagle feather arrow whizzed out, and the spotted deer fell to the ground.
The ladies had already noticed something strange: Recently, there was a rumor in the city that King Zhongshan had a new confidante, could it be Jiang Feng?
Mrs. Gao looked at Jiang's mother suspiciously, and when she saw her face was as pale as paper, she believed it a little more.
After that, Jiang Feng lost all her thoughts. The young Yu'er and Yuzhi pestered her to play dice again. She lost several games absent-mindedly and had to drink a few more glasses.
By the time Jiang Lan came over to stop them, the whole pot of wine had been finished. While Jiang Lan was staring at the empty pot, the girl ate up the candied fruit that had just been put on the table.
Looking at the drunk girl, he called You Ran to help her go back to the room to rest.
Jiang Feng held his elder sister's hand tightly, his voice a little hoarse: "Sister, I feel so uncomfortable."
Jiang Lan thought she was drunk and didn't take it seriously. After walking two more steps, Jiang Feng suddenly covered his neck, his face flushed, his breathing became short, and he suddenly knelt on the ground, but he opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound, and then he fainted.
Jiang Lan was now anxious and shouted, "A Feng! A Feng! What's wrong with you?"
Hearing the scream, everyone at the table rushed over, only to see Jiang Feng lying softly in You Ran's arms, his face turning pale and red, and he was unconscious.
Jiang's mother was the first to rush over and pulled her daughter over. Her hands were cold and her breathing was weak.
When Jiang Feng was nine years old, she had a serious illness that consumed most of her mind. Seeing this scene, she became even more panicked. Jiang Zuo was calm and quickly arranged for someone to call a doctor. Li Longye was anxious, but it was inconvenient to go forward. He just called Li Zan and gave him a few instructions. Li Zan took the order and went out.
Jiang's mother burst into tears and held her daughter tightly. Jiang Lan was so frightened by this scene that she lost her soul. After all, she was pregnant. After her mother-in-law's persuasion and scolding, she let Liu Nezhi send her back. Jiang Zuo carried Jiang Feng to the west wing. Everyone else stopped the banquet and sat in the main room. The servants served tea but no one drank it.
Gao Hui's mother sat on one side, looking coldly at Li Longye who was fidgeting with anxiety, and secretly decided in her heart: She must do everything she can to make Gao Hui give up the idea!
After a while, Jiang You invited a doctor to come. The old doctor came to the girl and examined her body. He said uncertainly, "Miss Jiang's symptoms are really strange. How can there be any signs of poisoning?"
Jiang's father and mother were both stunned. Jiang Fei was also really shocked and the washbasin she was holding fell to the ground.
Father Jiang said, "Poisoned? How is that possible? Did you see it wrong, sir?"
How could a girl in the boudoir get poisoned for no reason? It's really unacceptable.
The old doctor shook his head in embarrassment and said, "I am also suspicious. I wonder if the young lady has eaten anything just now?"
"We are having a banquet at home. My daughter will join us. There is nothing wrong with the rest of us." Jiang's father said.
After hearing this, Jiang Zuo was shocked: there was a third-rank prince at the table. If he was also poisoned, their whole family would be doomed to die!
Jiang Jingxiu also thought of this at once, and looked at Jiang Zuo in fear, completely at a loss as to what to do.
Jiang Zuo was relatively calm, and hurriedly took the doctor to check the food, drinks, cups, etc., but the silver needle did not change color. Jiang Zuo felt relieved, at least the possibility of Li Longye being poisoned was reduced.
But the problem that followed was that if the source of the poison was not found, there would be no way to detoxify it. What should Jiang Feng do? !
Just when he was at a loss of what to do, Jiang You pushed away the crowd and shouted, "Father and mother, the prince has asked for his personal physician to come over, and he is already outside the door."
Everyone thought they had found a life-saving straw: since he was an imperial physician, he must have superb medical skills. They hurriedly invited him in, and in their panic, they didn't even care that Li Longye followed him in.
When Li Longye saw the girl lying on the kang with a pale face and closed eyes, he couldn't believe that this was the one who had been competing with him just a moment ago.
The imperial physician also felt the girl's pulse, and when he was done, he glanced at Li Longye and saw that Li Longye nodded, which meant that he could say whatever he wanted. He then said carefully, "The girl's pulse shows that she has been poisoned, but I really can't tell what kind of poison she has been poisoned with."
After hearing this, Jiang's mother burst into tears.
Father Jiang sat slumped in the chair. Li Longye could only feel a buzzing in his ears. He stepped forward and asked, "Acupuncture! Induce vomiting! Prescribe medicine! Sir, you must have a plan."
The imperial physician knew that Li Longye was a playboy, and this girl was most likely his confidante. He did not dare to neglect him and said directly: "Your Majesty, please allow me to report that the girl has been poisoned. The method you mentioned can only alleviate the symptoms. If you want to cure it, you need to prescribe the right medicine. As the saying goes, everyone has his own specialty. I am only good at external injuries, not at detoxification..."
Everyone listened to him at the top of their voices.
Only Li Longye was displeased. He waved his hand to interrupt: "No need to talk about other things, just talk about what to do now!"
The imperial physician continued: "During Emperor Gaozong's time, the King of Medicine Sun Simiao was the best at detoxification..."
Li Longye frowned, looking uneasy. Jiang You was so angry that he wanted to punch him. Everyone knew that the "King of Medicine" was powerful, but Sun Simiao had been dead for decades. Was he going to the underworld to bring him back?
The imperial physician also wanted to make his words clear, so he had to bite the bullet and continue: "Although the Medicine King has passed away, his grandson Sun Ji has inherited the true teachings. Sun Ji is now living in seclusion in Qiushan, which is only a hundred miles away from Liangzhou. At this moment, I will use acupuncture to protect the girl's heart pulse and rush to Qiushan to save her."
Li Longye thought for a moment and said directly without consulting Jiang's father, "Then please give me the acupuncture quickly, sir."
The Jiang family members went from despair to surprise, and Jiang Zuo quickly arranged for people to prepare the carriage.
But Li Longye said again: "Don't worry, Lord Jiang. Why not use my carriage? It will be faster after all."
Jiang Jingxiu was shocked, and Jiang Zuo, who was about to leave, was also stunned. Jiang's father quickly bowed and said, "I really don't deserve it. How can my daughter ride in the prince's carriage without any merit?"
In ancient times, everything was governed by etiquette, from the construction of mansions to the color of clothing. According to this standard, Li Longye could ride in a carriage pulled by four horses, while the Jiang family, from top to bottom, could only ride in a carriage pulled by one horse.
"It's an emergency, so don't worry too much. Madam, you can accompany the third lady in the carriage. I and... Jiang You will ride horses, and we will arrive in four or five hours."
He looked around and saw that Jiang Zuo was weak, so he finally chose Jiang You's general.
Jiang's father wanted to refuse again, but Jiang's mother didn't care and struggled to thank him.
Father Jiang had no choice but to obey.
Li Longye's personal attendants reported back that the carriage and horses were ready.
Jiang's mother hurriedly got up to prepare, but she made a mistake in her haste. She lost her balance on the stage and missed a step, falling heavily to the ground. When everyone looked, they saw that her ankle was broken and a bowl-sized lumps appeared in an instant.
Jiang's mother was in pain and anxious, but she still insisted on going with him. Jiang Zuo advised her, "Qiu Mountain is inaccessible by car. If you insist on going with me, I'm afraid it will delay your trip."
Jiang's father originally planned to let Jiang Fei go with him, but his usually smart second daughter just sat there with her eyes wide open.
Just when there was no other way, Li Longye spoke up: "There is no time to lose. If Lord Jiang can trust us, Master Ling and I will go."
Looking at his little daughter who was breathing out more than breathing in, Father Jiang nodded in agreement.
Before leaving, Jiang's mother sent Nanny Sun to go with her.
Nanny Sun was sitting in the carriage. When Jiang Zuo carried Jiang Feng to the carriage, Jiang Feng grabbed his collar and refused to let go. His voice was hoarse. Jiang Zuo tilted his ear to listen carefully: "Brother, I should probably put it back on. You...you take good care of mother."
Jiang Zuo felt sad and had a deep sense of powerlessness.
As Jiang's mother could not accompany them, Li Longye sat in the car and Jiang You followed on horseback.
The curtain of the carriage was lowered, and the driver honked, then drove away with their little daughter.
