Abandoned woman's glory

Chapter 217 He is still alive...?
The night is still quiet, only the sound of gurgling water not far away is ringing in my ears, the dark sky is like a boundless big hand, gently covering this vast land, and the dew condensed on the tip of the green grass is shining, Complement with the stars.

Everything in the world seems to be integrated at this moment.

Love, hate, in this kind of night, also become less important.

I lay on my side on the grass, looking at the flames in front of me, my clothes had already been torn to shreds, leaving only a man’s clothes, dried and covered my body, but in the wild, even facing the bonfire, Still cold.

A burst of cold air hit, I couldn't help but sneezed, another one, and immediately felt a sore nose, cold hands and feet.

The sound of breathing behind him became rapid and restless.

He picked me up from the river, and after the fire was lit, he was three feet away from me. I didn't look back, and he didn't open his mouth. The two seemed to be facing each other, but when they heard the sound of me sneezing, He couldn't sit still.

I felt him slowly walking behind me, and a burst of warm breath came over me.

"is it okay?"

His voice was hesitant and trembling, I bit my lower lip and didn't speak.

A warm chest slowly pressed up from behind, and the skin felt a shivering feeling, he hugged me again, one arm wrapped around my waist, and covered the back of my hand superior.

It was obviously warm, but for some reason, there was a bad breath in my heart.

I stretched out my leg and kicked him hard back.

His forbearing voice came from my ear, and the depression in my heart seemed to be relieved a little. I gritted my teeth and kicked down again.

This time, he finally couldn't help it anymore, with a bit of wry smile: "Okay..."

"..."

"You've never been so unreasonable before."

When I mentioned the past, my nose was sore again. After a while, I waited until my throat was not so strange, and then I opened my mouth and said softly: "Why did you come?"

"I, don't worry. Something will happen to you."

"How do you know that something will happen to me?"

"..." He was silent for a while, his hoarse voice became more and more heavy, and he said slowly: "After you left Zhaoye, I went to the imperial hospital to transfer your file to see, Xingsi——you are poisoned."

what?
I was taken aback, and hurriedly turned around, only to see that although the eyes under the mask were concerned, they were not flustered, which prevented me from continuing to panic, but what he said was surprising enough: "I, am I poisoned?"

"Well. But don't worry, the poison has been cured."

I am more and more confused, what do you mean?When I was unconscious, I was poisoned and then detoxified, why didn't I notice it at all?
At this time, he said: "Did you always feel uncomfortable before-before you took the throne?"

I was stunned.

Indeed, before ascending to the throne, that is, during the period when Nangong and the others were under house arrest in Yanfu Palace, my health was indeed not very good. Either I had a headache or a hot brain, or my limbs were sore and weak. I lost my appetite from drinking medicine every day. I always thought that It was because I hurt my vitality when I gave birth to a child in Baihu Country and Guigu, but I didn't expect——

"However, people from Tai Hospital often come to check my pulse, why didn't they tell me?"

"This poison, the people in the hospital can't find it out." His voice suddenly became a little hoarse, and his eyes dimmed slightly: "If it wasn't because Huang Kao told me..."

My eyes widened all of a sudden—Chu Feng? !

Could it be—— I trembled and said, "The poison of the opportunity?"

"Yes."

"..."

"Only those who are closest to you can do it. At the beginning——when Huang Kao was young, he was poisoned without knowing it, and he only realized it after the poison occurred. It was too late. He once told me that after a period of time after being poisoned, His body also has fever and headaches for no reason, and there is no cure for it.”

My heart sank.

As if he felt my emotions, he said softly: "However, according to the signs of your pulse from the hospital after you ascended the throne, the poison in your body has been detoxified, and you should be fine now, so I don't care about it." Worried about that, just—"

It's just that the person who poisoned me is by my side, that's why he came here.

My heart is already bright—from returning to Zhaoye until now, eating and living with me in Yanfu Hall, being so close to me, close to my diet, and having the opportunity to poison, only that child, Li Yan !After he knew my identity, he didn't act at all. It's not that I didn't doubt him, but I was giving him a chance, and I hoped to give myself a chance, but...

I smiled lightly, and the smile was full of sarcasm to myself: "I thought I could get him back, it seems——I'm so naive."

"No, you've already done that."

I was taken aback, and looked up at the pair of clean and introverted eyes that were close at hand, only to hear him say slowly: "Otherwise, he won't cure the poison on your body."

"Then what about today?"

He pondered for a while, and said: "The hatred of killing your father is irreconcilable. I think he is also very contradictory. After all, he is a child, and he doesn't know what he should do. But if he really wants to kill you, today he uses it. , it wouldn’t be—such a medicine.”

His words reminded me of my ugly appearance just now, and my face flushed with shame.

Looking at me, he also seemed a little embarrassed, coughed twice, and said: "I guess he will make a sudden move, and he must be provoked by someone."

Be provoked by someone?
Shui Xunyou!
I suddenly remembered that Shui Xunyou was still in the tent, she must have said something in front of Li Yan, which made that child rush to attack!
When I thought of this, I couldn't sit still any longer, and hurriedly wanted to get up, only to feel numb in my limbs, unable to support myself and fell limply, he hastily stretched out his hand to catch me, and said with some embarrassment: " Your medicinal property has not been completely eliminated. Let’s talk about it after rest tonight.”

"But--"

"Don't worry, all eighteen shadow guards are here with me, and they will take care of everything."

I glanced at him, didn't speak, and lay down in silence again.

Normally, the contact between me and him is only a few words, so the sudden intimacy tonight made both of us a little embarrassed. I could feel his careful breathing, and myself, I was also trembling slightly with nervousness. , both of them seemed afraid to make any noise, for fear of awakening some unspeakable taboos between us.

On such nights, even in sleep, people felt an unspeakable heaviness.

When I woke up from a drowsy sleep, I slowly opened it, and felt that the chest behind me that had warmed me all night was gone. I subconsciously turned around, only to find that my body was covered with his clothes again, and the surrounding area was empty. Neither did people.

Before the panic surged up, he saw a figure slowly approaching in the reeds taller than a person in front of him. When he got closer, it was him, who had already put on a clean gray cloth gown. He was still holding a long skirt, and when he pushed aside the reed in front of him and saw me, he was suddenly stunned.

Only then did I realize that when I stood up, my clothes slipped off, revealing a piece of spring.

"what!"

With a groan, I hurriedly reached out and pulled the clothes on the ground over to cover my chest, my cheeks were flushed.

He also became embarrassed, as if he didn't know whether to come or leave, he hesitated for a while, then opened his eyes and slowly stepped forward, handed me the clothes, I hurriedly took them, and put them on in a hurry.

The two of them had obviously had the closest contact, but at this moment, it seemed that there was nothing left, and everything started from the beginning. He stood with his back to me, and waited for me to get dressed. Voice: "Are you ready?"

"All right."

I put on that plain long dress, my long hair was not tied up, it was wet from the night dew, and it was draped over my shoulders. It didn't look good after all, but when he turned his head to look at me, his eyes flickered again .

I was about to stand up when I suddenly felt weakness in my limbs and I fell down.

"careful!"

He let out a low cry, and rushed over in a hurry, but after taking two steps, he stopped again, stood there looking at me, and I looked up at him with some doubts.

"... Maybe the effect of the medicine hasn't subsided yet, so take your time, don't rush." ​​He stood there and said.

The two of us hugged each other so closely last night, but at this moment, the short distance of two steps seemed to suddenly become an insurmountable gap between us.

An indescribable sense of alienation permeated between me and him again at this moment.

I don't understand what's going on, what's wrong, just look at him.

He was also silent for a while, and then said, "Let's go back."

The effect of the medicine did not wear off. Although my body was fine, my limbs were still numb. I was wearing a long skirt with elegant sleeves, but it was not convenient for walking in the field. It was very inconvenient to stumble, he walked beside me, watched me almost fall several times, and wanted to reach out his hand, but he never did.

I didn't speak again, and walked silently to the station.

The two fell into a stalemate-like silence again, and that kind of silence lasted until we reached the station, where it was very different from last night, the people he brought had completely controlled the place at this moment, and the familiar people from before Not a single face remained.

I looked back at him, he didn't speak, and I didn't ask, I know that sometimes he can do it better than me, and in such a situation, we have no choice.

At this moment, two familiar figures walked in front of them, and upon closer inspection, they were Ling Si and Ling Shiyi.

As soon as they saw me, they immediately knelt down and said: "My lord."

"Get up."

As I said that, my footsteps didn't stop, I kept walking towards the tent of Shui Xunyou, and the two of them rushed forward: "Your Majesty, there is no need to go."

"Ok?"

"Shui Xunyou, has left."

"What?!" I was taken aback: "How is it possible?!"

Before Yu He left, he clearly left incense that could neutralize her power, and also gave her the medicine of calming the mind and calming the mind. Even if she had the ability to provoke Li Yan, she was at the end of her strength after all, how could she still be able to survive in such an environment? next to leave? !
At this time, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind: "Is it true that someone is coming to save her?"

They nodded silently.

"Who?"

Ling Si and Ling 11 looked at each other, and then looked at the person behind me. They murmured and did not speak, but my heart sank slowly, as if I already knew the answer in such silence. , but still heard the somewhat hoarse voice behind him speak slowly: "He..."

My heart suddenly tightened.

He, a simple word, seems to have shattered the tranquility of the past few days, and my voice is also a bit fragmented: "Him?"

……

"He, is he still alive...?"

……

No one answered me because there was no need to answer.

I stood there numbly, after a long time, I slowly turned my head and looked at the person behind me.

I finally understood where did that deliberate indifference, that sudden alienation come from...

A wave of anger welled up spontaneously, and it made me even more angry than last night's anger, and I almost wanted to kick over again, but looking around at the soldiers, they seemed to realize that something was wrong with the atmosphere, although they were still doing it. His own affairs, but his eyes looked over at the same time.

I gritted my teeth, swallowed that breath, and turned my head to ask Ling Si: "Where's Li Yan?"

"Go back to the emperor, he's gone?"

"what?"

"The subordinates have already searched nearby, but there is no trace of him. Thinking about it - he left last night."

My face was as frosty, Ling Si and the others went in without knowing it, they were scared out of their wits, Ling Shiyi hurriedly stepped forward to stop Ling Si, leaned over and said: "This subordinate is not good at doing things, please forgive me."

I glanced at him: "There is nothing to punish."

As I said that, I walked towards the king's tent and murmured: "If you should come back, you will come back naturally."

He also subconsciously followed behind me. He seemed to be taken aback when he heard me say this, but I had already walked into the king's tent, and said coldly: "I'm going to rest, no one is allowed to come in and disturb me."

His footsteps stopped outside the gate of the king's tent.

"When Yu He comes back, report to me immediately."

"Yes……"

After I finished speaking, I waved my hand lightly, and the guards standing on both sides immediately put down the tents, and I was the only one left in the large king's tent, standing a little lonely in the center, I knew that person was standing outside, We are separated from each other, but he and I don't know how far away we are before we can really come together.

After resting in the tent for half a day, a familiar voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, Yu He is begging to see you."

"Come in."

The dazzling sunlight shone on my face as Yu He raised the curtain and walked in. I looked up at him, and I smiled softly: "Mr. You have worked hard."

I didn't ask him how the situation was, because I knew that as long as he made a move, everything would be good.

He also simply cupped his hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty." While speaking, he looked at the cloudy and uncertain expression on my face, and said, "I heard that there was some accident here last night. I don't know if your Majesty is safe or not."

"I'm fine."

I waved my hand lightly, expressing my unwillingness to talk about this matter again, and said, "Sir, you've already returned, and there must be no obstacles on the road ahead, so I'm ready to set off."

At this moment, Yu He raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, think twice!"

"Huh?" I frowned slightly and looked at him—think twice?What's the meaning?
"Could it be that Mr. Yu He encountered some obstacles on the way forward, and didn't eliminate those assassins?"

"No," Yu He shook his head and said, "On the contrary, I have led the troops to go forward and eliminated all the killers and assassins who followed the emperor all the way. Along the way to Binhua, no one will do harm to the emperor."

"Then, why do you want to stop me, sir?"

Yu He looked up at me, and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty led the army to the south. Although there were not many people and horses, and they did not rush in, the Emperor is the monarch of the largest country in the East after all. His every movement shocked the world, and everyone was watching. Suzaku Even if you don't send troops immediately, you should be prepared, right?"

I nodded.

"Besides, Nangong Yu went south to join Suzaku after leaving Zhaoye. With him around, he must be on guard against the emperor going south this time."

I nod again.

"However, among the people who are purged along the way, there are no people from the Suzaku Kingdom, nor are there any people from Nangong Yu."

I frowned slightly, and looked up at him.

"So, I suspect that there are two situations."

"You said."

"First, this is a situation where you are invited to enter the urn. They deliberately pretended to be unaware that they wanted to lure the emperor across the river. Suzaku is located in the southern barbarians, with dangerous mountains and rivers, and there are many dense miasmas Lakes are all barriers that the overlords of the Central Plains wanted to conquer but could never overcome. Once the emperor is caught in such a fierce battle, I'm afraid—"

I'm afraid it won't be easy to get out, I've known this for a long time.

"The second is—" Yu He's voice was a little heavy, he looked at me, and said word by word: "None of them sent troops to hinder the emperor, because they have no time."

"You don't need to talk." I interrupted him, stood up and walked in front of him: "This is the reason why I went south this time."

Whether Nangongyu entered Suzaku territory was acquiesced by Mu Liusha, or for other reasons, I don't want to pursue it, but this person is not a person who is willing to settle down, besides, there is still a debt between their family and Nanjiang No liquidation, that's what I bet on!
This may be the only chance to enter the southern border and recover some people and things!
I looked into his eyes and said firmly, "I must go."

"But--"

I waved my hand to stop him from continuing.

I know what he is worried about. The southern border is too dangerous. The emperors of all dynasties rarely conquered this land. When the Murong royal family dominated the Central Plains, they failed to include southern border into their territory. This time I went south, most of them were dangerous, and he I have already stated in advance that I will not guide the sword to the border, so no one can guarantee my safety.

However, I have come to this point, and I can't back down!
What's more--my eyes wandered to the outside of the tent, where there was faint sunlight: "there should be someone I want to find..."

Just as I said this, the tent was thrown open.

A familiar figure stood at the door, and the dazzling sunlight came over me. I couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but I only saw that broad shoulder trembling slightly at this moment.
