Jing Qi

Chapter 40: The Border Town's Emergency

After Jing Yun was poisoned, he vomited blood continuously, which made Jing Yao terrified.The imperial physicians stood helpless by the dragon couch, rubbing their hands from time to time, fearing that the emperor would cut them all down if he got angry.

"Damn it, you bastards! What do I feed you all day! It's useless at the critical moment!" excuse.Every time they encounter difficult and miscellaneous diseases, they always come from this prince Yun who always arouses the emperor's anger, so they ask luck back...

"Have you recruited from the Queen Mother? Did you get the antidote?" Eunuch Yao shook his head heartbroken, indicating that he didn't get it. "The queen mother has always claimed that she doesn't know about the poison, and the slave has no choice..."

The empress dowager of a country can't be beaten or scolded, rational negotiations are useless, she can't wait for His Royal Highness to die!This is just as she wished!Hey, why does His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness always have so many disasters... Jing Yao's face darkened, and a storm was about to come.Just as the imperial physicians were already preparing the draft of the suicide note, the urgent notification from the little eunuch saved their lives. "Your Majesty, Princess Linxue is asking to see you outside the palace, saying that she has something important to do."

"What's the matter?!" Damn it's nothing important, it's best not to bother him at this time.

"The princess said that she has a way to cure the prince's poison." Jing Yao frowned, instinctively not wanting the two to get entangled again.But looking at Jing Yun who was so weak at the moment, he hesitated.

"Let her in." Compromise.

Xue Geng rushed in, saw Jing Yun on the couch, nearly shed tears, and wanted to pounce on him, but was stopped by Jing Yao.He's always the one who gets hurt.Although I don't know why this happened, the plot turned straight down, and a good marriage almost became a funeral, but she didn't want him to die!So... there is only this way.

"Your Majesty, I can save the prince. But..."

"What conditions do you have?" He can promise anything as long as he can save Jing Yun.

"All the people here go out, so that I can detoxify the prince with peace of mind."

That's easy. "You all go out!" Jing Yao shouted loudly, and the idlers retreated one after another.

"The emperor invites you to go out too." This method cannot be known to others.

"What?!" "You will disturb me." Xue insisted unexpectedly.In the end, Jing Yao could only compromise, gritted his teeth secretly and walked out. "Some things are not yours, don't think about them." Worrying in his heart, Jing Yao warned.Unexpectedly, Xuegeng was surprisingly calm and ignored her.

"This is exactly what I want to say to the emperor." After finishing speaking, regardless of Jing Yao's livid face, he slammed the door shut.After nearly an hour, Xue Geng hadn't come out from the Yunxiao Hall, Jing Yao panicked.Walking back and forth in the same place, staring up at the closed palace door from time to time, Jing Yao's heart was in a mess.About a cup of tea time later, the closed door finally slid open with an "ah".Xue Geng stepped out, shook her body, and leaned against the door, her face was completely drained of blood, she looked extremely tired, even a little weak.

"Okay, Jing Yun will be fine after a while of recuperation." Jing Yao glanced at her, slightly grateful, nodded at her, passed her, and hurried to see Jing Yun's situation.Seeing his back disappearing through the door, Xue Geng smiled comfortably.As long as Jing Yun is happy and healthy, everything is worth it. ***************************************************** *************************** After three days, Jing Yun woke up slowly.Jing Yao was overjoyed and rushed forward. "Yun'er, do you feel any discomfort?" Jing Yun's expression was still in a daze, but his mind was clear.When he woke up, he didn't ask anything else, but asked in a hoarse voice: "Where's Xue Geng?" Jing Yao's face froze, and his expression was a little ugly.

"In order to save you, she must be tired and resting." She didn't want Jing Yun's attention to be on Qi Xuegeng, so she took it lightly.

"Really?" Jing Yun breathed a sigh of relief, relieved knowing that she was fine.At that time, although he knew that there was no risk in doing that, it must have frightened Xue Geng after all.It's not that I don't trust her, but I'm afraid that if she cares about her, it will cause chaos and ruin the plan. "It's fine." Relieved, Jing Yun closed his eyes again and stopped talking.Jing Yao didn't want him to be tired, so he didn't say anything, and sat silently by the side. ***************************************************** ******************************* When Jing Yun got better, regardless of Jing Yao's objection, he and Xuegeng moved to Xinjian The Prince Yun's Mansion.Lived a "plain" life.There has been no conclusion on the side of the Queen Mother, it seems that the situation is calm, and Jing Yao has not yet finalized the case, it seems that everything has been extended, and nothing is left, but the Queen Mother is still imprisoned in Guangxuan Hall, staying at home, which is very different from the past , looking remorseful.Jing Yun also seems to have forgotten about revenge, and just sits with Xue Geng in the small pavilion in the garden every day, chatting, tasting tea, and admiring the snow.Seeing the two getting closer, Jing Yao wanted to get angry, but there was nothing he could do.In terms of emotion and reason, he can't treat Xue Geng badly. After all, Xue Geng saved Jing Yun's life. It is not the emperor's act to be ungrateful.After more than half a month, the atmosphere in the imperial capital finally changed.An urgent report came from the border town that the army of Qin State was coming.The attack of the Qin army this time was extremely ferocious, and even captured several important cities before the scenery, with unparalleled momentum.Now they are going to the border town, trying to seize this important border defense.People in the imperial court were panicked, and apart from worrying, they couldn't help lamenting that Jingxiu had suffered so many disasters recently.First, Prince Yun fell ill, and then came the attack of Qin State. It was really troublesome.The border town has always been under the rule of the prince, and now the axis of the border town has fallen, but everyone is anxious.In order to revive the morale of the army, Jing Yao decided to go to war in person, to retaliate against Qin, but more importantly, he wanted to defeat that thorn in Jing Yun's heart.He has been by his side for two years, which is understandable and makes him even more jealous!Jing Yun can only have him by his side, just like Yin Shangzhi back then, who could only end up dead. If he hadn't lost news of him later, he would have let him go!As soon as the decree was made, there was a wave of refutation in the court, but the emperor insisted on going his own way.There was no other way, the ministers had no choice but to bother Jing Yun who was still ill.

The imperial study room "Report to the emperor, Lord Yun begs to see you." Jing Yao frowned, knowing that it was those wastes who disturbed him: "Please come in." After speaking, he got up subconsciously and went to the entrance of the hall to welcome him in. "Is your health better?" Jing Yao asked with concern, his tone softened unconsciously.Jing Yun responded lightly and sat down under his support.Only then did Jing Yao sit down next to him, his eyes still focused on Jing Yun.

"I heard—you want to conscript yourself?" Picking up the teacup and pecking at it to cover up his worries, his face was always indifferent, and even his voice was steady, without any ups and downs, as if he was talking about an unimportant topic , just to pass the time.

"En." Jing Yao was pleased with his question, even though he didn't care about himself. "The border town is in an emergency, the third brother has no choice. Now that I have shouldered the burden of Jingxiu, I have to defend it." Jing Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, drinking tea as if nothing had happened.It took a long time before he said, "I thought you didn't care." He said at the station last time that he didn't care much about the world. Although he didn't really believe it, it was not impossible with his conceit, but at that time, emotional entanglements made him I'm so intimidated that I don't want to believe it.Thinking about it, in fact, many times, he didn't lie to him, it was just too cruel facts that made him choose to hide in the tortoise shell, preferring to believe that he was lying.Jing Yao's eyes widened, thinking he had heard wrong.Yun'er has always been unwilling to believe that he is not obsessed with fame and fortune. Is he choosing to trust him now?

"I don't care, but I want to keep it for you. Jingxiu is yours, and I will protect it until the last moment!" I love him, so I don't want him to suffer because of the ruin of the country and family.Even though he himself is capable, if he can do it, Yun'er doesn't need to worry about it.Jing Yun was shocked when he heard the words, and laughed, and didn't dwell on this issue any more.Now he won't be entangled in emotional matters anymore, between him and Jing Yao, he can only wait, wait for the baptism of time.

"Who is leading the army in Qin State? Logically speaking, Qin State has no generals, and the second prince is not yet mature, so who else can take on this..." Jing Yun was taken aback, thinking of something. "It's him?" There was a tremor in the voice.

Jing Yao stared at him for a while, then nodded. "Yes." Silence spread between the two.They did not forget the scene that happened during the New Year's Eve.After all, it became a pimple.Still can't let go.

"I'll go too, the thing started because of me, I have the obligation to put an end to it." Faintly, gently, as if the soul was out of the body.

"Third brother can just go. You are still in good health, you should rest first. This matter can be handled by third brother." Holding Jing Yun's hand, he unexpectedly found that the hand in his palm was extremely cold.

"I have to go!" Jing Yun insisted.It should be concluded.He should be ruthless and heartless, entangled with so many people will only hurt more.Up to now, the knots can only be slowly opened one by one.Jing Yao also wanted to persevere, but when he looked at Shang Jingyun with firm eyes, his floating heart settled down strangely.

"Okay, third brother will go with you. But you must promise me that you will not put yourself in danger!" Jing Yun nodded, but his thoughts had drifted to nowhere.
