Chapter 174 Xie Ruiji (1)

Shen Shunhua and his brother had no intention of looking at the scenery along the way, so they drove faster and arrived at the inaccessible imperial mausoleum that night.

As soon as they got out of the car and before they entered the yard, they heard Xie Ruiji shouting inside: "Get out! Get out of here! None of you can take him away this time! If you want to chop off his head, take my head off first." Cut it off!"

Shen Congxi stood in front of her sister and walked in first.I saw Xie Ruiji holding a dying man and sitting on the ground.The man was thin, but his abdomen was as distended as a drum. He must have struggled in severe pain. His hair was fluffy and his clothes were messy. He was lying in Xie Ruiji's arms, breathing heavily.

There were two guards nearby who were being ordered by the concubines. The prince didn't care and just wanted to pull the man away. Xie Ruiji was the one who just scolded them.

When the concubines standing far away saw Shen Shunhua behind Shen Congxi, they all burst into tears as if they were seeing their own mother. They rushed to say, "Princess, you are just in time. Go and persuade the second prince." Come on, let someone take the patient away quickly."

"Chu Yun is very sick and is about to die, but the second prince does not allow anyone to take him away. The doctor said that his illness will pass on to those who are close to him. What should we do if the second prince gets sick?"

"If he stays here, we will also get sick. Originally, we were already worse off than dead. Now, why not die cleanly together!"

Shen Shunhua couldn't hear the noise in her ears, because she only widened her eyes and stared at Xie Ruiji in front of her:

The Xie Ruiji she knew was tall, handsome, and had a natural aura of nobility in his movements.The Xie Ruiji she knew was polite and tolerant, and never cared about big or small things.The man she knew, Xie Ruiji, obeyed her mother and concubine and was polite to her.
She always had a natural respect for him, and the prince was always respectful and polite to her.But later, she discovered that it was not treating each other as guests, but alienation.

Even though they had Kun'er, his heart was never in her.But she had to admit that the prince at that time cared about her. He was very good to her and his son, and to her family. He just didn't love her.

But now, who is this haggard, imageless man on the ground?
"The second prince?" Shen Shunhua was not used to calling him the second prince. From the time they met, he had always been her prince.

Xie Ruiji raised his head and saw Shen Shunhua. He was suddenly surprised: "Shunhua! Shunhua!" This was the second time he called her by her given name. The first time was on the day of their wedding. "Hurry up and go to the capital to hire an imperial physician for me. When the imperial physician comes, Chu Yun will be saved. He has already died once, I can't let him die again, Shunhua!"

Shen Shunhua staggered two steps and almost fainted. Shen Congxi hurriedly supported her from behind.After a long time, Shen Shunhua regained her breath. She walked over slowly, squatted next to Xie Ruiji, tucked the messy hair on his forehead behind his ears, touched his cold face, and said with a sad smile: "You are so What's the trouble again!"

Xie Ruiji was also stunned, staring blankly at Shen Shunhua's familiar face, the colorful lights of the past appeared one by one in front of his eyes.But he only asked aggrievedly: "Could it be that I can't be myself for once?"

Shen Shunhua laughed angrily at him. If she had known that underneath his glorious and noble appearance, he was such a simple person who only wanted to be himself, she would never have forced him to drive Duan Xuyan away. She sighed, treating this big child the same way. The man coaxed him: "Be obedient and ask someone to put him back on the bed, and I will call the doctor for you."

Xie Ruiji was doubtful, but still let go of his hand. Chu Tian and Kang Ping immediately stepped forward and lifted Chu Yun to Nuange's bed. However, Chu Yun could not lie down on his back, otherwise he would be out of breath, so they had to let him half-recline. At the bedside.

Xie Ruiji also wanted to stand up, but as soon as the guards helped him up, he fell to the side weakly.Amidst the exclamation, everyone rushed to lift the tall Xie Ruiji onto the bed. A guard's elbow accidentally bumped into him, and he groaned loudly in pain, which made the guards bewildered.Shen Shunhua looked at him and shed tears silently, then suddenly turned around and took his younger brother's arm and said, "Congxi, elder sister has never begged you for anything. Now elder sister begs you, no matter what, go back to Beijing and ask for a good doctor. No matter how bad he is , he is also my husband and the father of my child, I want to save him. I want to save him!"

Shen Congxi nodded with red eyes. Without resting, he got on his horse and drove to the capital overnight.At dawn, as soon as the city gate opened, Shen Congxi entered the city.He did not dare to alarm his father, so he went directly to the prince's residence and told the prince everything about Xie Ruiji.

The prince was shocked. He didn't know that his second brother was already so ill. He quickly called Haitang and asked Cong Xi to tell her their symptoms and appearance in detail.Cong Xi has seen Haitang diagnose her illness many times. Although he doesn't understand medicine, he also knows what Haitang cares about. What he talks about are all the details that a doctor needs to know when diagnosing a disease.

Haitang thought for a while and asked Shen Congxi: "Do you still remember where the second prince cried out in pain when he was touched by the guard? Where was the location on his abdomen?" Shen Congxi made a gesture on her body.

Haitang's face became heavy. She looked at Xie Ruitang and said: "A medical book from the previous dynasty recorded a disease. It did not have a clear name. It was only called 'accumulation pain'. To put it simply, it was a disease on the liver lobe. If the sores are painful to touch and water accumulates in the abdomen, it means they are seriously ill. However, just from the description, I am not sure yet whether they have this kind of accumulated pain disease, I just think the symptoms are very similar."

Xie Ruitang opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

After a while, Xie Ruitan sighed and said: "He is my second brother after all. He has treated me well since childhood. I want to go over and see him, as we are brothers."

"But it will be over." Shen Congxi stopped him.Although the second prince is his brother-in-law, the prince is his friend better than his brother.

Haitang tugged on Xie Ruitang's sleeve and said, "I am a doctor, and I will accompany you. Although liver lobe pain is contagious, there is nothing to worry about as long as there is no close contact."

Shen Congxi was overjoyed, yes, Haitang's medical skills were much better than those of ordinary imperial doctors.Instead of recruiting an imperial doctor, it would be more reassuring to ask Haitang to take a look.

Not long after, a Cheng Mansion carriage quietly left the capital.After leaving the city, looking at the sky, Xie Ruitang asked Shen Congxi, who had not slept all night, to sleep in the carriage. He and Haitang rode on the same horse.In order to prevent the car from being too bumpy, everyone kept their speed low.

From the capital to the imperial mausoleum, there are lush green mountains all the way.Haitang, who was leaning on Xie Ruitang's arms, sighed: "If we can live with three or five friends among the green mountains and green waters for the rest of our lives, seeing flowers in spring, looking at the moon in autumn, listening to the wind in summer, and enjoying the snow in winter, there will be no regrets." ”

"It sounds like life in a paradise." Xie Ruitang said with a smile: "When the world is at peace, we will find a place like this and live quietly."

"You don't want to do it anymore, Emperor?" Haitang looked at him playfully and said with a smile: "Since ancient times, what men have fought for is not power and benefits. Even if there are hermits and masters, they have no choice but to chant the mountains and flowing water."

Xie Ruitang rubbed her chin on the top of her head and smiled:
"Being the emperor of the world is only my responsibility. Being my own emperor is my life."
