The villain is far from my CP!
Chapter 31 Palace Secrets ·
The court issued a decree to appoint Li Chang, the inspector of Qin Tianjian, as the imperial envoy, and urgently notified Jiangdu of the corresponding matters within eight hundred miles.
The journey went smoothly without any obstacles.
Qi Jingmin heaved a sigh of relief when he got the news, but before he could be complacent for two days, Jiangdu sent back a reply as quickly as [-] miles away.
Qi Changting wrote sincerely in the compromise:
"The waterlogging disaster is dangerous, and your majesty's heart for the country and the people can be learned from the world. My ministers privately think that they should prepare with both hands. While sending the imperial envoy to the south to catch up with the progress of water conservancy, he also arranged for the people from all over the country to take refuge in the highlands. Your servant will take on a lot of responsibility."
Qi Jingmin: "...?!"
Why did it involve his household department again!
Emperor Huisheng read this book in the palace for a long time.
If no one mentioned this matter, he would not have thought of it, but after saying this, he came back to his senses.
Undoubtedly, if the floods are repeated, it is more reasonable and effective to transfer the people than to send people south.
He looked suspiciously at his eldest son.
Qi Jingmin: "..."
He knew that if he wanted to continue to implement the imperial envoy, he could not refuse to pay for the transfer of people.
Can!
When Qi Jingmin came out of Chaowu Hall, he hurriedly informed Huang Sheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, to delay his time in front of Emperor Huisheng with vague words.
He was distraught.
Previously, because of the disaster relief funds, the promised compensation to the Yan family, and the need to pay the merchants for dredging in the future, the household department was already tight. If he used money to transfer the people, the holes he dug in the household department would not be filled. up!
But as soon as he thinks that all of this is caused by Qi Changting, when the two of them meet again in the future, the other party will overwhelm him because of this, and a ball of fire seems to explode in his heart.
He couldn't afford to lose this person, couldn't swallow this breath, especially in front of Qi Changting.
After returning home, the young man stood in the dark study room, breathing unsteadily.
He stared fixedly at the dancing candlelight on the table, with blood in his eyes.
No.
He can't just throw in the towel.
Even if you lose a thousand dollars, you still have to give it a go!
Qi Jingmin finally decided to change his mind, he was reluctant to part with the money from the household department.
but--
It's not that he changed his words himself, but that Li Chang, the supervisor of Qin Tianjian, changed his words.
The autumn of Huisheng's 20th year was the most absurd year and the last year that Li Chang, the supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor, had been in office for 30 years.
Within four days, he was first promoted to be an imperial envoy, and before the decree was overwhelmed, he was thrown directly into the sky prison.
Until he pressed his bloody handprint on the confession, he didn't understand how things came to this point.
The crime of bullying the emperor shocked the government and the public.
Li Chang, the former supervisor of the Qintian Supervisor, finally "confessed" under torture to extract a confession. Yinghuo and Xinsu are indeed a little close, but they won't run into each other so quickly. He lied to gain more status and existence in the court. feel.
The big stone on Emperor Huisheng's heart was removed, and naturally he no longer cared about transferring the people.
But Qi Jingmin wrote a letter again, insisting on sending an imperial envoy to the south.
Needle dropping could be heard in Chaowu Hall, and Emperor Huisheng narrowed his eyes on the dragon chair.
In my impression, the eldest son is not aggressive. What happened recently?
Qi Jingmin noticed the scrutinizing gaze from above, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Hold on, he told himself.
"Father, let me tell you. At that time, my son made up his mind to come to my father and asked him to send imperial envoys to the south. Rumors of self-confidence and confidence were indeed the biggest driving force, but the most fundamental thing was that the third brother was inexperienced, instigating the laborers to not do their jobs properly, and affecting the speed of dam construction. "
The more Qi Jingmin spoke, the smoother he got. He secretly raised his eyes and saw Emperor Huisheng lost in thought, and he felt more confident in his heart, and continued:
"Although it is rumors of treacherous ministers that the waterlogging disaster will repeat itself, the construction of the dam should not be delayed like this. Now that it is autumn, the east capital is already chilly, and the weather in the south will cool down soon. If it is not repaired by then, can it be said that the court Do we still need to afford charcoal-fired cotton coats for laborers?"
When it came to the charcoal-fired cotton coats in the imperial court, Qi Jingmin caught a glimpse of Emperor Huisheng's right foot moving uneasily from the corner of his eyes, and he felt relieved.
He was reluctant to part with money, but Emperor Huisheng was even more reluctant!
When the decree of the imperial court was transmitted to Jiangdu, it was Maoshi in the early morning, and the sky was still dim.
Throughout the long street, only Jiangdu County Sheriff's Mansion was brightly lit.
In the meeting hall, the main seat was vacant. Chang Cen and Qi Changting sat first on the left and right, followed by the governor.
Both Chang Cen and Jun Cheng were in official robes, looking down in thought, only Bai Qiao, who was dressed in casual clothes, was out of place, sitting on Qi Changting's right hand seat.
The girl's eyes were blank, and her mind was in a trance.
Half an hour ago, she was woken up by Yuelan, and when she heard that He Cheng was waiting for her outside, she once thought that she was too busy recently, and her dreams were all about work.
Her body was actually sitting next to Qi Changting, but until now, her consciousness finally followed slowly from Bai's house.
No, what are these people doing early in the morning? !
Organize group meditations?
Bai Qiao closed his eyes in pain, looking at the dim sky outside the hall.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps broke the silence.
Chang Cen and Jun Cheng stood up as if they had pressed a switch, only the young man was in good shape, even though he stayed up all night last night, he still sat with his back straight and motionless like a mountain.
The sound of footsteps gradually became clearer, and when he was about to turn the last corner, Baiqiao suddenly felt something tap his shoulder.
Turning her head, she saw Qi Changting holding a fan and nodding at her, and the two of them temporarily avoided the side hall next door.
Immediately afterwards, the recognizable voice of the official passing the decree sounded.
"Jiangdu County Sheriff, Chang Cen accepts the order—"
Outside the hall, when the sun gradually rose and the sky turned into a light misty blue, the cadenced voice finally stopped.
The people from Baiqiao were in the side hall, dumbfounded.
The imperial decree briefly explained the rumors that Yinghuo Shouxin was rumored, so Baiqiao understood that the villain was using the heads of his important ministers in exchange for an opportunity to make trouble for the dam repairer.
No, is he crazy? !
This is to hurt the enemy eight hundred and hurt one thousand!
Outside the side hall, Chang Cen was already receiving an order to thank him, and respectfully took the bright yellow scroll with both hands.
Bai Qiao looked at Qi Changting again in astonishment—you belong to a prince after all, don't you try to stop him?
... Well, even the prince doesn't have a second head to resist the decree.
It took Bai Qiao a full five breaths of time to digest the news, but Qi Changting never raised his eyelids from the beginning to the end.
"It's expected, so don't panic." Seemingly seeing Bai Qiao's panic and anger, he explained lightly.
No one in this world knows the emperor's son better than him.
He repeatedly stepped on Qi Jingmin's head, it's strange that Qi Jingmin can swallow this breath.
Just a pity.
The corners of Qi Changting's lips curled up playfully.
Qi Jingmin gave up Li Chang's life to open the market, so he gambled with him!
After all, he is not alone now.
The boy turned his head and looked at the back of the woman who was leaning against the door and looking next door.
"Miss Bai," he called her, "I have a bet and I want the girl to go with me. Is it rude?"
"Bet?" Bai Qiao was puzzled.
"Yes, the bet." Qi Changting stood up and walked to the window with his hands behind his back.
Dredging depends entirely on manpower, there is no room for hands and feet, and it is not within the scope of Qi Jingmin's goal. It can be done slowly, but the dam...
"It takes about ten days for the imperial envoy to go south. We bet that within ten days, the dam will be completed in the six counties of Huainan."
The young man lacked rest for several days, his complexion was still a little pale, and he couldn't hide his fatigue, but his words were sonorous.
The rising sun broke through the clouds and mist, and the golden phosphorescence sprinkled the hall.
Bai Qiao felt that she could remember the ambition and admiration at this moment for the rest of her life.
However, the dream is full and the reality is very skinny.
Qi Changting fainted suddenly while discussing the new dam repair plan with her under her nose.
The young man was arched, his face was pale, his left hand was full of veins, he was clutching his stomach, and gasping for air in a daze.
In Baiqiao's words, it is "a look that is about to die".
Bai Qiao: "..."
Come on, I just made a bet to work overtime together.
And he's dead, what will happen to her cp!
In fact, there were signs of things as early as a few days ago.
For half a month, the average daily rest is less than two hours. I don’t eat three meals a day if I can’t catch up, or I eat when I’m hungry. When I go out for field investigations, cold meals are delivered directly to my stomach.
If he doesn't fall, who will fall?
Bai Qiao was startled.
This, this, this is the male lead!
The book didn't say that there was another encounter!
Moreover, in the morning, she vowed to work together to repair the dam within ten days, so that the hard-working imperial envoy will return without success. This shit hasn't even started yet, why did you leave her alone? !
Bai Qiao: "Although he is also very miserable, but, damn it!"
Especially when he learned from He Cheng that Qi Changting's illness was completely caused by himself, and the remaining worry turned into anger.
——As soon as he fell ill, why the hell would she go back to Dongdu to play cp!
If the imperial envoy arrives and the dam has not been repaired, there will definitely be extra troubles, and he will not be able to catch up with the heroine Jili, and will be taken advantage of by the villain and offered to be courteous. Not to mention his wife is lost, and her previous efforts will be in vain. Where are you going to cry!
Fortunately, there is a famous medical clinic near the county guard's mansion. The old doctor was almost carried over by He Cheng, almost losing half his life.
After taking the pulse for a quarter of an hour, the old doctor spoke eloquently for a long time, and Bai Qiao translated it. It was probably acute gastroenteritis caused by cold food and excessive fatigue, accompanied by chronic pharyngitis and cold.
The doctor pondered and wrote Zhang's prescription, and solemnly explained: "One dose of medicine per day, one dose is boiled three times, and one pot is boiled for one bowl at a time."
This is a very normal procedure, but He Cheng looked at the densely packed drug names on the prescription, and gave a difficult "hmm".
The doctor frowned.
He Cheng's expression is very familiar to him. He used to look like this when he went to the doctor and met poor people who couldn't afford medicine.
But the person in front of him is obviously not due to lack of money.
It's just that the doctor didn't intend to meddle with the official affairs, and finally he dutifully urged again: "Medicate the medicine as soon as possible, the patient's stomach and internal organs have suffered from the root cause of the disease a few years ago, if he doesn't take care of it this time, the legacy will be endless."
He Cheng responded again, and after sending the doctor away respectfully, he became worried when he saw the prescription.
Bai Qiao on the side couldn't stand it any longer, "Why are you standing there in a daze! Go grab the medicine!"
He Cheng looked at her sadly.
Bai Qiao: "?"
He Cheng was silent, and sighed heavily for a long time.
"Then, let's try."
Bai Qiao never understood what He Cheng meant by trying, until the medicine was ready, He Cheng brought it into the room, and after a while, Qi Changting forced him out with his eyes.
Baiqiao's eyes widened in disbelief.
"So, he doesn't take medicine? He doesn't take medicine when he's sick? He has always been there since he was a child?"
Baiqiao's voice was loud, and the people in the room must have heard it too.
Seeing that Qi Changting had no intention of hiding anything, He Cheng nodded.
"Because of some... very bad things when I was a child, the young master couldn't smell the smell of medicine. Yu... the doctor at home tried every means to recuperate, but he still vomited when he took the medicine, even if he swallowed it reluctantly."
Bai Qiao: "..."
So what a natural miracle it was that he survived to such a large age.
The girl held her forehead, but she didn't have time to think too much.
Fortunately, most things have been arranged. As long as there are no complications, the dam should be repaired within ten days.
However, life is often about being afraid of what will come, and suddenly hurried footsteps came from the outer courtyard.
The yamen servant trotted in sweating profusely, and saluted He Cheng, "Someone made trouble at the construction site in the north of Zhongli County. The county guard said that the situation was a bit complicated, and it was related to the regulations on mutual reporting of workers, so I asked Mr. Qi if he could go over and have a look. .”
Qi Changting's identity is only known to Chang Cen and Jun Cheng, and the yamen servants only call him Mr. Qi.
He Cheng was in a state of desperation when he heard the words, why did all these things come together!
At this time, the door behind him suddenly opened.
Behind the door, the boy stood up straight with a pale face, looked at He Cheng and said in a deep voice, "Prepare the car."
He Cheng's complexion changed, prepare a fucking car!
Although Zhongli County is just to the west of Jiangdu, the speed of the carriage is slow, let alone bumpy for two or three days, can he bear it?
In fact, let alone two or three days, Qi Changting only stood for two or three breaths, and then he stiffened and covered his mouth.
The young man quickly turned around and went back to the room, and slammed the door behind him, but he still didn't block the trace of blood from between his fingers.
Bai Qiao gasped.
Fuck, this isn't acute gastroenteritis anymore, it's stomach bleeding!
"No, he must take medicine!" As it was about CP, Bai Qiao got angry.
When the heroine is around, the hero is sick and it’s fun, but when the heroine is not there, it’s like a sword falling 40 meters from the sky!
She can't stand this cruel scene.
"He Cheng, go and heat up the medicine again, I have a way to give him a try!"
"Hey, wait!" He Cheng was unable to move his hand while holding the tray, and Bai Qiao had already disappeared.
The imperial doctor in the palace tried their best to cure the disease, she can do it?
He Cheng turned around and knocked on Qi Changting's door. The man inside had a hoarse voice and was out of breath, but he still asked him to prepare a car.
He Cheng: "..."
Probably because of Baiqiao, the pioneer, he acted as if he hadn't heard it for the first time, and went to hot medicine like a dead horse.
after all……
As Qi Changting said, Baiqiao seems to be a girl who can always surprise her.
In the dim room, a tall and thin figure leaned against the door, slightly bowed.
His left hand, stained with blood, pressed his stomach firmly, his eyes turned black, and he couldn't hear anything except humming in his ears, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead drop by drop.
How long, how long has it been since I have been in such a mess, and have not been in such pain.
He tried to suppress the moan by swallowing, but found that even swallowing a mouthful of saliva felt as if his throat had been cut open and dripping with blood.
In a trance, someone grabbed his arm and led him to walk forward step by step, leaning on the soft cushion.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar yet unfamiliar smell approached, and the freshness that rushed straight to the top of the head overwhelmed the nausea, and permeated from the nose to the limbs.
He couldn't help but take two more sniffs, the cold and sweet taste froze his thinking.
Until, something came close to his mouth, and the warm liquid pried open the teeth, ready to pour it down.
He suddenly widened his eyes, but the surroundings were still pitch black.
Finally, it was no longer just buzzing, but also accompanied by a woman's voice.
——"Changting is obedient, obedient, you will be fine after drinking the medicine."
The woman's voice was gentle, like a concubine's mother.
But he knew it wasn't.
Wrapped in the luxurious phoenix robe is a rotten and smelly body, coated with spices of unknown smell, it is disgusting, and it is half different from the faint orchid fragrance on his mother and concubine!
He knew that the concubine mother was no longer there, and it was the woman in front of him who killed her, and now she pretended to give him medicine!
don't drink.
Don't drink!
He struggled violently, but he was too young and too weak to stop the liquid from pouring into his stomach through the gap between his teeth.
The long and sharp fingertips slid across his cheeks, almost poking his eyes. The disgusting smell of spices mixed with the sourness of traditional Chinese medicine in memory, he finally couldn't stand it anymore, and wowed the contents of his stomach Spit it all out.
"Fuck and vomit blood!"
In a daze, he heard someone scolding the street.
Shensi finally came back for a moment.
That empress who is "the mother of the world", wouldn't speak like that, he thought subconsciously.
"It's okay, it's okay, what I was feeding just now was water, it's water, good boy."
Is it water?
He smacked his lips, but found that all his senses were occupied by the cold taste, and it was difficult to taste the taste.
Whether it's the blood-red past or the dark palace, they are all driven away by the refreshing green and white scent.
It's water, it should be water.
He seemed to be really thirsty, so he used the bowl and the man's hand to drink up the liquid inside.
"Open your mouth, ah—" There was another voice in my ear.
Something is wrong, ah what ah.
He thought silently in his mind, but he didn't know that his body had already responded subconsciously.
Satisfied, Baiqiao put a piece of fresh mint leaf into the young man's open mouth, and finally closed his mouth with his chin lightly, and wiped the thin layer of sweat on his forehead due to excessive tension.
"Okay, wait and see, I don't think I will vomit." She turned her head to look at He Cheng who was waiting to see through.
He Cheng looked suspiciously at his master who was lying quietly, and then at Baiqiao, who found a chair and sat down on his own, and for the Nth time deeply doubted what kind of magical thing was that unattractive leaf.
Bai Qiao seemed to see He Cheng's doubts, and said with a smile: "It's not something expensive, but the taste is more overbearing, and your son happens to like it, so just coax him."
First use mint to shock the senses, then feed him some water, let him confirm that he is drinking water before switching to medicine, anyway, the mint smell is so strong, he definitely can't tell it apart.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help turning her head to look at the well-behaved boy lying on the couch.
If you say that others are as warm and moist as jade in front of you, and sharp as a knife when they are vigilant, but when they are lying on the bed, they are inexplicably lonely and bleak, coupled with their childish face and a little red mole on their ears, it is really inexplicable. people love.
Bai Qiao looked at it, and gradually became a little drowsy, so he nodded his head.
"Hey, wake up, wake up, don't sleep, I feel like the master is going to vomit again!"
Bai Qiao was awakened by He Cheng's shaking, and he woke up with a jerk.
The boy on the couch frowned as expected, and couldn't stop swallowing the acid water from his mouth in his sleep.
"Get up first." Bai Qiao instructed He Cheng.
Although He Cheng kept talking about Qi Changting's sickness when he vomited as soon as he took the medicine, she still felt that it was just a psychological effect. The vomiting should be due to gastroenteritis, not the medicine.
"I have no choice but to exert willpower and let him bear it."
Bai Qiao thought for a while, and moved to the side of the bed.
The male lead is a bit of a love brain, so the biggest motivation for him to keep the medicine in his stomach is the female lead.
"My lord, think about those who care about you, think about those who are still waiting for you, don't spit." Bai Qiao vaguely reminded him of the heroine who is far away in the Eastern Capital, "Ah? Did you hear that? , be obedient, hold back, and don't spit."
The girl's voice was like the softest babbling on a spring night, one couldn't help but sigh.
I don't know if Bai Qiao's words played a role, Qi Changting swallowed more frequently, but he still didn't return the medicine he drank.
The two waited for another half an hour, Qi Changting finally stretched his brows slightly, and fell asleep drowsily.
He Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and saluted Baiqiao solemnly.
But he found that the girl had fallen asleep lying on the tea table without knowing when.
He Cheng was stunned for a while, his eyes swept over the two people who were sleeping in the room, and he sighed softly for a while.
Well, let it be.
The author has something to say:
Qi Changting: I'm dying.
Bai Qiao: Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah I can't die, what will my cp do if you die!
Qi Changting: ...?
She wanted me to live, but she didn't seem to want me to live at all.
Enter v!Thanks to every little cutie who subscribed!Comparing my heart!
The second watch is at 21:00 in the evening~
The journey went smoothly without any obstacles.
Qi Jingmin heaved a sigh of relief when he got the news, but before he could be complacent for two days, Jiangdu sent back a reply as quickly as [-] miles away.
Qi Changting wrote sincerely in the compromise:

He couldn't afford to lose this person, couldn't swallow this breath, especially in front of Qi Changting.
After returning home, the young man stood in the dark study room, breathing unsteadily.
He stared fixedly at the dancing candlelight on the table, with blood in his eyes.
No.

"Miss Bai," he called her, "I have a bet and I want the girl to go with me. Is it rude?"

Bai Qiao: "Although he is also very miserable, but, damn it!"
Especially when he learned from He Cheng that Qi Changting's illness was completely caused by himself, and the remaining worry turned into anger.
——As soon as he fell ill, why the hell would she go back to Dongdu to play cp!
If the imperial envoy arrives and the dam has not been repaired, there will definitely be extra troubles, and he will not be able to catch up with the heroine Jili, and will be taken advantage of by the villain and offered to be courteous. Not to mention his wife is lost, and her previous efforts will be in vain. Where are you going to cry!
Fortunately, there is a famous medical clinic near the county guard's mansion. The old doctor was almost carried over by He Cheng, almost losing half his life.
After taking the pulse for a quarter of an hour, the old doctor spoke eloquently for a long time, and Bai Qiao translated it. It was probably acute gastroenteritis caused by cold food and excessive fatigue, accompanied by chronic pharyngitis and cold.
The doctor pondered and wrote Zhang's prescription, and solemnly explained: "One dose of medicine per day, one dose is boiled three times, and one pot is boiled for one bowl at a time."
This is a very normal procedure, but He Cheng looked at the densely packed drug names on the prescription, and gave a difficult "hmm".
The doctor frowned.
He Cheng's expression is very familiar to him. He used to look like this when he went to the doctor and met poor people who couldn't afford medicine.
But the person in front of him is obviously not due to lack of money.
It's just that the doctor didn't intend to meddle with the official affairs, and finally he dutifully urged again: "Medicate the medicine as soon as possible, the patient's stomach and internal organs have suffered from the root cause of the disease a few years ago, if he doesn't take care of it this time, the legacy will be endless."
He Cheng responded again, and after sending the doctor away respectfully, he became worried when he saw the prescription.
Bai Qiao on the side couldn't stand it any longer, "Why are you standing there in a daze! Go grab the medicine!"
He Cheng looked at her sadly.
Bai Qiao: "?"
He Cheng was silent, and sighed heavily for a long time.
"Then, let's try."
Bai Qiao never understood what He Cheng meant by trying, until the medicine was ready, He Cheng brought it into the room, and after a while, Qi Changting forced him out with his eyes.
Baiqiao's eyes widened in disbelief.
"So, he doesn't take medicine? He doesn't take medicine when he's sick? He has always been there since he was a child?"
Baiqiao's voice was loud, and the people in the room must have heard it too.
Seeing that Qi Changting had no intention of hiding anything, He Cheng nodded.
"Because of some... very bad things when I was a child, the young master couldn't smell the smell of medicine. Yu... the doctor at home tried every means to recuperate, but he still vomited when he took the medicine, even if he swallowed it reluctantly."
Bai Qiao: "..."
So what a natural miracle it was that he survived to such a large age.
The girl held her forehead, but she didn't have time to think too much.
Fortunately, most things have been arranged. As long as there are no complications, the dam should be repaired within ten days.
However, life is often about being afraid of what will come, and suddenly hurried footsteps came from the outer courtyard.
The yamen servant trotted in sweating profusely, and saluted He Cheng, "Someone made trouble at the construction site in the north of Zhongli County. The county guard said that the situation was a bit complicated, and it was related to the regulations on mutual reporting of workers, so I asked Mr. Qi if he could go over and have a look. .”
Qi Changting's identity is only known to Chang Cen and Jun Cheng, and the yamen servants only call him Mr. Qi.
He Cheng was in a state of desperation when he heard the words, why did all these things come together!
At this time, the door behind him suddenly opened.
Behind the door, the boy stood up straight with a pale face, looked at He Cheng and said in a deep voice, "Prepare the car."
He Cheng's complexion changed, prepare a fucking car!
Although Zhongli County is just to the west of Jiangdu, the speed of the carriage is slow, let alone bumpy for two or three days, can he bear it?
In fact, let alone two or three days, Qi Changting only stood for two or three breaths, and then he stiffened and covered his mouth.
The young man quickly turned around and went back to the room, and slammed the door behind him, but he still didn't block the trace of blood from between his fingers.
Bai Qiao gasped.
Fuck, this isn't acute gastroenteritis anymore, it's stomach bleeding!
"No, he must take medicine!" As it was about CP, Bai Qiao got angry.
When the heroine is around, the hero is sick and it’s fun, but when the heroine is not there, it’s like a sword falling 40 meters from the sky!
She can't stand this cruel scene.
"He Cheng, go and heat up the medicine again, I have a way to give him a try!"
"Hey, wait!" He Cheng was unable to move his hand while holding the tray, and Bai Qiao had already disappeared.
The imperial doctor in the palace tried their best to cure the disease, she can do it?
He Cheng turned around and knocked on Qi Changting's door. The man inside had a hoarse voice and was out of breath, but he still asked him to prepare a car.
He Cheng: "..."
Probably because of Baiqiao, the pioneer, he acted as if he hadn't heard it for the first time, and went to hot medicine like a dead horse.
after all……
As Qi Changting said, Baiqiao seems to be a girl who can always surprise her.
In the dim room, a tall and thin figure leaned against the door, slightly bowed.
His left hand, stained with blood, pressed his stomach firmly, his eyes turned black, and he couldn't hear anything except humming in his ears, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead drop by drop.
How long, how long has it been since I have been in such a mess, and have not been in such pain.
He tried to suppress the moan by swallowing, but found that even swallowing a mouthful of saliva felt as if his throat had been cut open and dripping with blood.
In a trance, someone grabbed his arm and led him to walk forward step by step, leaning on the soft cushion.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar yet unfamiliar smell approached, and the freshness that rushed straight to the top of the head overwhelmed the nausea, and permeated from the nose to the limbs.
He couldn't help but take two more sniffs, the cold and sweet taste froze his thinking.
Until, something came close to his mouth, and the warm liquid pried open the teeth, ready to pour it down.
He suddenly widened his eyes, but the surroundings were still pitch black.
Finally, it was no longer just buzzing, but also accompanied by a woman's voice.
——"Changting is obedient, obedient, you will be fine after drinking the medicine."
The woman's voice was gentle, like a concubine's mother.
But he knew it wasn't.
Wrapped in the luxurious phoenix robe is a rotten and smelly body, coated with spices of unknown smell, it is disgusting, and it is half different from the faint orchid fragrance on his mother and concubine!
He knew that the concubine mother was no longer there, and it was the woman in front of him who killed her, and now she pretended to give him medicine!
don't drink.
Don't drink!
He struggled violently, but he was too young and too weak to stop the liquid from pouring into his stomach through the gap between his teeth.
The long and sharp fingertips slid across his cheeks, almost poking his eyes. The disgusting smell of spices mixed with the sourness of traditional Chinese medicine in memory, he finally couldn't stand it anymore, and wowed the contents of his stomach Spit it all out.
"Fuck and vomit blood!"
In a daze, he heard someone scolding the street.
Shensi finally came back for a moment.
That empress who is "the mother of the world", wouldn't speak like that, he thought subconsciously.
"It's okay, it's okay, what I was feeding just now was water, it's water, good boy."
Is it water?
He smacked his lips, but found that all his senses were occupied by the cold taste, and it was difficult to taste the taste.
Whether it's the blood-red past or the dark palace, they are all driven away by the refreshing green and white scent.
It's water, it should be water.
He seemed to be really thirsty, so he used the bowl and the man's hand to drink up the liquid inside.
"Open your mouth, ah—" There was another voice in my ear.
Something is wrong, ah what ah.
He thought silently in his mind, but he didn't know that his body had already responded subconsciously.
Satisfied, Baiqiao put a piece of fresh mint leaf into the young man's open mouth, and finally closed his mouth with his chin lightly, and wiped the thin layer of sweat on his forehead due to excessive tension.
"Okay, wait and see, I don't think I will vomit." She turned her head to look at He Cheng who was waiting to see through.
He Cheng looked suspiciously at his master who was lying quietly, and then at Baiqiao, who found a chair and sat down on his own, and for the Nth time deeply doubted what kind of magical thing was that unattractive leaf.
Bai Qiao seemed to see He Cheng's doubts, and said with a smile: "It's not something expensive, but the taste is more overbearing, and your son happens to like it, so just coax him."
First use mint to shock the senses, then feed him some water, let him confirm that he is drinking water before switching to medicine, anyway, the mint smell is so strong, he definitely can't tell it apart.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help turning her head to look at the well-behaved boy lying on the couch.
If you say that others are as warm and moist as jade in front of you, and sharp as a knife when they are vigilant, but when they are lying on the bed, they are inexplicably lonely and bleak, coupled with their childish face and a little red mole on their ears, it is really inexplicable. people love.
Bai Qiao looked at it, and gradually became a little drowsy, so he nodded his head.
"Hey, wake up, wake up, don't sleep, I feel like the master is going to vomit again!"
Bai Qiao was awakened by He Cheng's shaking, and he woke up with a jerk.
The boy on the couch frowned as expected, and couldn't stop swallowing the acid water from his mouth in his sleep.
"Get up first." Bai Qiao instructed He Cheng.
Although He Cheng kept talking about Qi Changting's sickness when he vomited as soon as he took the medicine, she still felt that it was just a psychological effect. The vomiting should be due to gastroenteritis, not the medicine.
"I have no choice but to exert willpower and let him bear it."
Bai Qiao thought for a while, and moved to the side of the bed.
The male lead is a bit of a love brain, so the biggest motivation for him to keep the medicine in his stomach is the female lead.
"My lord, think about those who care about you, think about those who are still waiting for you, don't spit." Bai Qiao vaguely reminded him of the heroine who is far away in the Eastern Capital, "Ah? Did you hear that? , be obedient, hold back, and don't spit."
The girl's voice was like the softest babbling on a spring night, one couldn't help but sigh.
I don't know if Bai Qiao's words played a role, Qi Changting swallowed more frequently, but he still didn't return the medicine he drank.
The two waited for another half an hour, Qi Changting finally stretched his brows slightly, and fell asleep drowsily.
He Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and saluted Baiqiao solemnly.
But he found that the girl had fallen asleep lying on the tea table without knowing when.
He Cheng was stunned for a while, his eyes swept over the two people who were sleeping in the room, and he sighed softly for a while.
Well, let it be.
The author has something to say:
Qi Changting: I'm dying.
Bai Qiao: Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah I can't die, what will my cp do if you die!
Qi Changting: ...?
She wanted me to live, but she didn't seem to want me to live at all.
