thank you + extra

The medical officers breathed a sigh of relief, Xie Xiang survived, their lives were saved, and they each packed up their knives and belongings.

Blood was everywhere, including Liu Zao's hands, and now it was dry, and it still felt sticky.The palace man came forward with clear water, knelt down in front of her, raised the copper basin above his head, and asked His Majesty to clean his hands.

But Liu Zao's eyes fell on the small knife, the knife was still stained with blood, and a little bit of meat was still stuck in the blood.Liu Zao shuddered.She turned her head to look at Xie Yi, Xie Yi was drowsy and haggard, she couldn't see the struggle just now.

The palace servants waited for a while, but saw no movement from His Majesty, for some reason, they felt panicked, and said in a trembling voice, "Please clean your Majesty's hands."

Hu Ao heard the sound, put down his things, and walked over. When he saw the emperor, he felt that His Majesty's expression was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, wash your hands? Your Majesty still needs to take care of you."

Only then did Liu Zao wake up, and put his hand into the clear water.The blood immediately spread, from her hand, into the water.

The military doctor was terrified, and came to report the follow-up to the emperor. While talking, he added another sentence: "Fortunately, the prime minister blocked the knife for His Majesty with his arm. If His Majesty's body is hit, even if the internal organs are not injured, it will be a disaster." few."

What he said was more bad luck than good luck, but in fact he was helpless.Even if the injury was on Xie Xiang's arm, the bleeding could hardly be stopped just now. The assassin aimed at the emperor's chest, even if it was a little bit off, the heart and lungs were not injured, and there was no way to detoxify it. Just stopping the bleeding was absolutely impossible.

Liu Zao lowered his eyelids, fell on Xie Yi's face, and said, "Thank you for saving my life."

The military doctor was quite surprised when he heard this.

He originally thought that His Majesty brought the Prime Minister into the palace and stood guard in front of him, fearing that someone would harm the Prime Minister, and the situation in the court would become more chaotic. Everyone in the Xie Party also thought of this, so they did not challenge His Majesty, and let her protect him. at the moment.

It's just that after watching it these two days, he always felt that His Majesty treated Xiang Xie sincerely, not just for profit, and that Xiang Xie was able to block the sword for His Majesty, which also showed her loyalty.

The two of them don't seem to be facing each other as they seem to outsiders.

"Lai Qing should pay more attention to how to maintain it in the future." Liu Zao said, his eyes were still on Xie Yi.

The military doctor thought that he should also inform Wei Wei how His Majesty and Prime Minister Xie get along, at least for now, His Majesty and the Prime Minister are in the same camp.Hearing the emperor's words, he hurriedly saluted and said: "It's a matter of my duty." After a pause, he persuaded: "Your Majesty will not sleep well for two days, you should take a rest, so as not to drag yourself down."

Liu Zao didn't know whether he listened to it or not, so he responded casually, waved his hand, and signaled him to back down.

The hall was soon empty again.The medical officers decocted the medicine, discussed how to take care of it next, and those who cleared out the remaining poison all went to the side hall.

The two palace servants knelt on the ground, wiping the blood that was splashed on the ground.

This difficult time is over.Liu Zao stood in front of the bed, asked people to bring warm water, and wiped Xie Yi's face with his own hands, so that she could feel better.

Hu Ao stepped forward and said, "It's getting late, it's time to feed."

Liu Zao agreed.She was afraid that people from the palace would come in and out, and the wind would blow in and blow to Xie Xiang, so she went to the side hall to have dinner.

The cook also knows that His Majesty will have no appetite for these two days, and the meals are all simple.When feeding, there is a piece of minced meat, minced meat, mixed into the rice, boiled for a long time, the stew is rotten, the meat and rice are mixed, and some salt is added, it is very appetizing.

Hu Ao knew that the poison of Xie Xiang had been cured, His Majesty seemed to be relieved, and there was a smile in his words: "This minced meat tastes very good, Your Majesty should eat more."

Liu Zao nodded, also wanting to eat more, to replenish his strength, take good care of Xie Xiang, and said: "Bring it up."

Hu Ao waved his hand, and an eunuch came forward holding a tray, and there was a dish in the tray, which was filled with minced meat.

Liu Zao took a look and saw the minced meat in the dish, his expression changed suddenly, he pushed the eunuch away, and vomited continuously.

Chapter 50

For the next few days, Liu Zao couldn't see meat, and couldn't even smell meat.Hu Ao was worried, but Liu Zao didn't realize what was going on, he took care of Xie Yi with peace of mind, and took care of everything by himself.

Xie Yi woke up the next day, but she was weaker than when she was injured.Liu Zao talked to her when she was awake, and went to the proclamation room after she fell asleep to see how the empress dowager and Liang Ji were arguing again.

Sun Ciqing is a speculator. He first voted for the prime minister, and now the prime minister was injured, so he immediately switched to the emperor. He was afraid that he would talk to the people and he would not have a foothold in the future, so he refused to accept the emperor's offer.But he refused verbally, but he was always convenient with the emperor during his actions.

When it was said that the prime minister had cured the poison and he would recover soon, Liang Ji became more and more crazy, but it was of no avail. Although he would not be defeated, because Liu Zao responded in time, he could not go any further.Such a stalemate lasted for a long time, not to mention that Prime Minister Xie returned to the court after recovering from injury, even the emperor alone could find an opportunity to grow stronger and wipe them out.

Liang Ji went to Changle Palace frequently to discuss major plans with the Queen Mother.

It's been four days.

It has been sunny for four days, the wind has subsided and the sun has warmed up, and the snow outside has softened.Xie Yi was still lying on the bed, the poison left in her body made her feel weak all over, but she had endured the pain of bone scraping, the rest was nothing more than taking more medicine and taking a rest, there was nothing to worry about.

Liu Zao knew that she was used to worrying, so she didn't tell her, but she thought more, so she told her what happened in the court, and also told her how to deal with it, so that she could feel at ease.

At night, the warmth of the day melts away, and the cold penetrates through the cracks in the doors and windows, and the whistling wind can be heard clearly through the windows.

Liu Zao dismissed all the ministers and hurried back, as soon as she entered the sleeping hall, she saw the candles burning in the hall, and the man was lying on her bed.

She walked into the hall quickly, then hurriedly closed the door, turned around, and saw Xie Yi opened her eyes and turned to look at the door.Liu Zao's eyes lit up, he strode forward to the bed, bent over and asked, "Auntie is awake? Are you hungry?"

Xie Yi's eyes stayed on her face for a moment, then lowered his eyelids, and said, "I'm not hungry."

Hu Ao came up with the medicine.

Liu Zao had become very proficient in taking care of Xie Yi, smelling the smell of medicine, he bent over and helped Xie Yi up, let her lean into his arms, and took the medicine bowl to feed her.

Xie Yi was unable to move, so she let her play with her, leaning against her bosom, and let her feed and drink the medicine.

The medicine was naturally bitter, but Xie Yi was used to it, and even after a bowl of medicine was exhausted, she didn't even frown.Liu Zao handed the bowl to Hu Ao. According to the usual practice, she was supposed to put her back on the bed, but for some reason today, Liu Zao hugged her, lowered his head, and sniffed her neck curiously.

Her breath approached, the tip of her nose rubbed against the side of her neck, Xie Yi closed her eyes, and turned her head slightly, full of repulsion.

"My aunt smells delicious." Liu Zao's voice sounded.

Xie Yi's tone was light: "Stop talking nonsense."

"It's fragrant." Liu Zao insisted.She always felt that the smell on Xie Xiang's body was familiar and pleasant.I didn't know why I felt this way before, but after learning about the past, I guessed that maybe it was when Prime Minister Xie often hugged her when she was young, and she remembered it in her heart.

Anyway, she liked it.

She settled Xie Yi down again, and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of incense does Auntie usually use?"

"Never used incense." Xie Yi replied.

Liu Zao showed that it was so, and said seriously: "That is the fragrance that my aunt was born with."

If these words were spoken by a man, they would be frivolous and weak.Xie Yi was already annoyed, but when she turned her head, she saw Liu Zao's clear eyes. There was a slight joy and deep attachment in those clear eyes, but there was no frivolity in them.

Liu Zao didn't hear Xie Yi's words, so he was not in a hurry, the doctor told him that for the next half month, Xie Yi would be tired, his body would be weak, and he would often fall asleep.

She only thought that Xie Yi was tired and didn't like to talk, so she asked people to bring warm water to scrub Xie Yi, so that she could rest earlier.

This is something we do every day.The palace people had already prepared warm water, and when His Majesty summoned it, they sent it in.Liu Zao skillfully twisted the veil, and wiped Xie Yi's face first.

The warm veil was very comfortable when it touched the skin, and Liu Zao's strength was just right, so Xie Yi didn't feel the slightest discomfort.

Liu Zao wiped her face and neck carefully, and her hands should be next, but she stopped for a moment, looked at Xie Yi, and asked with concern: "Is it uncomfortable for my aunt? Why don't I wipe your body for you? "

When she said that, she didn't think of anything else, she just wanted to thank Xiang Xiang for sweating, and her body might be sticky and uncomfortable, and she would feel much more comfortable after scrubbing, but as soon as she finished speaking, she thought about it deeper, her face turned red, and she hurriedly turned to wash it off. A veil, to cover up her burning face.

She turned her back, so she didn't see Xie Yi's suddenly cold face and the disappointment in his eyes.

"No need," she said.

Liu Zao felt sorry, but more, he was still worried that Xie Xiang would be uncomfortable sleeping like this, so he wiped her hands carefully, bypassing the wound, and wiped her arm, and said: "I will ask the imperial physician's order tomorrow, I think it will take a few more days before I can take a bath." After finishing speaking, he looked at Xie Yi with a guilty conscience, and mentioned it as if casually, "I ordered the palace people to make new clothes, and I got a lot in two days. My aunt changed her laundry, and as for the spring shirts that will be warmer after the last month or so, I'm also preparing them."
