Chapter 61

Lu Zijue was young and brave, and chased him all the way. In the end, he not only beheaded Fu Xing, but even entered the state of Qin.

Huan Ting rushed into the Prime Minister's mansion like a wind, ran all the way with his clothes in his hands, slammed open the door of the study room, and panted, "Cousin, cousin, have you received the news?"

After Xie Shuduan sat in the case, his eyebrows and eyes were peaceful, and he looked at him with a smile while holding a cup of tea: "What news?"

"What? You don't know yet!" Huan Ting rushed over with beads of sweat on his forehead: "Zhongqing won the battle, Jin won the battle! Not to mention the recapture of Badong and Jingzhou, even Yuzhou of Qin State It was taken down."

"That's right, that's right."

Huan Ting scratched his heart anxiously, and looked at her helplessly: "That's it?"

Xie Shu raised his eyebrows: "What else?"

"..." Huan Ting suddenly felt so bored.

In the summer of the 30th year of Jin Yuanhe, the Jin army returned to the court after victory.

When Xie Shu got up early in the morning, she heard magpies calling from the tree outside the door. She changed into a light snow silk toga and tied her hair with bamboo hairpins. When she washed her face, she felt a little pale, so she asked the maidservant if she had any rouge, so she wanted to make it up a little bit.

The maids scrambled to make offerings, and their eyes were a little ambiguous.

The prime minister still needs to dress up to meet the King of Wuling, tsk tsk tsk...

Mu Bai came to report that the car was ready, Xie Shu put down the breakfast that he had only eaten a few mouthfuls, and when he went out, he touched his toes on the threshold, almost fell, Mu Bai hurriedly supported her arm, and suddenly saw the snow-white sleeves There was a drop of blood on it, and he was stunned.

"Son..."

Xie Shu raised his head in a daze, reached out his hand to touch his nose, suddenly his throat felt sweet, and his eyes were dim.

Jiankang Street was buzzing with people, and Wei Yizhi straddled his horse into the city, showing his face like this, which made the girls go crazy.

The officials pushed through the crowds and rushed to greet him, talking a lot of flattery.

Wei Yizhi listened absent-mindedly, his gaze scanned the crowd again and again, and finally couldn't help asking: "Why don't you see Mrs. Xie?"

Dr. Zhong hurried into the room, and as soon as he put down the things in his hand, he sat down beside the bed to diagnose Xie Shu's pulse.

Mubai was very anxious, and it was not good to disturb him, so he was anxiously wringing his fingers beside him.

Dr. Zhong dipped some blood from Xie Shu's mouth with a wet handkerchief, took out a silver needle and wiped it away. After observing for a long time, he showed panic for the first time: "How could this happen?"

Xie Shu was half-drowned, like falling into a dream, the surroundings were dark, she walked all the way, not daring to stop.

Wearing majestic court clothes, there must be a majestic temple in front of him.However, when she walked to the end, what she saw was the scorching sun in the sky, the locusts were everywhere, and the earth was cracked...

She looked around in a daze, as if lost, but suddenly realized.

It turned out that after so many years, she was still the child struggling in Jingzhou, trying to survive.

"Master? Master?"

Xie Shu opened his eyes in a daze, only feeling a slight pain in his body.

Mubai poked his face over, a little fuzzy: "My lord finally woke up! Don't move, Doctor Zhong is giving you needles."

Xie Shu opened his mouth and said in a light voice, "What time is it?"

"It's past the deadline."

Then Wei Yizhi should have entered the city long ago.She paused: "Can I still be saved?"

Dr. Zhong continued, "The poison in my son is more complicated, so I don't have time to go into details. Fortunately, you don't take much, and you still have a chance of life, but it's more dangerous."

"How dangerous is it?"

"This poison is induced by medicine. It can only be drawn out by the method of traction, but the medicine of tiger and wolf must be used. I'm afraid it will cause damage to the son's body. I don't know if you... can survive it in the end."

Xie Shu felt his mind getting more and more confused: "Is this the only way?"

"With the villain's medical skills, there is only one way."

"Then use it."

Dr. Zhong was startled, and then said yes.

Xie Shu called Mubai: "If I can't make it through, don't tell King Wuling about this, just say that I have retreated elsewhere, and I will show up when I want to see him, so let him not look for me..."

A grand banquet was held in the palace to celebrate the achievements of King Wuling.

The battle with the Qin State has gone through twists and turns, and finally won. The emperor and Wei Yizhi also had disagreements and frictions several times. Now it is Wei Yizhi who has reversed the situation. The emperor's mood is a bit complicated, and he is also a bit embarrassed. During the banquet, apart from praising him, he didn't say anything more.

Sima Ting picked up a cheap feat this time, and he probably thought he had nothing to show off, so he kept a low profile during the period.What everyone paid most attention to was King Wuling, and the one who was most excited was Lu Cheng. Xie Shu happened to be away, and he thought that she was afraid of King Wuling's current aura and dared not show up easily.

"The king of Wuling has returned home with great victories, defending his family and the country, and the officials are very impressed. I would like to toast you three times!" He raised the wine cup and raised it towards Wei Yizhi.

"Lord Lu, you are polite." Wei Yizhi raised his head and drank it.

In the prime minister's mansion over there, Xie Shu was being fed the first bowl of soup.

No one in Jiankang City is destined to sleep tonight, everyone gathered to celebrate, praising King Wuling's meritorious deeds, and occasionally someone mentioned the prime minister, and a few good words were rare.

Someone held a river lantern and put it into the Qinhuai River to pay homage to the dead soldiers. The lights, like beans, floated across the water reflecting the starlight of the day, and went to an unknown distance.

At this time, Xie Shu had already vomited once, and was given a second bowl of soup.

After the banquet was over, Wei Yizhi walked out of the palace gate, while Fu Xuan was waiting by the car.Because Emperor Qin appeared in this battle, Wei Yizhi specially didn't bring him with him. Now that he saw him, he just happened to ask a few words about Xie Shu's recent situation.

"The prime minister is very nice. A few days ago, one of my subordinates accompanied my wife to offer incense and met him. At that time, he also said to my wife that the county king has made great achievements this time. When he returns to the capital, he will go out of the city to meet him personally."

Wei Yizhi was stunned for a moment, got into the car and changed into casual clothes, and ordered: "Go and see the Xiangfu."

Xie Shu had already been fed three bowls of medicine, vomited several times, and was already exhausted, but Dr. Zhong shook his head at Mubai, still feeling that the dose was not enough.

Mubai looked at Xie Shu who was unconscious, and his voice was full of tears: "I can't drink any more, you won't be able to hold on."

"But that's the only way."

Dr. Zhong rolled up his cuffs and was about to move again when the butler's panicked voice came from outside the door: "Mubai, come out quickly, the King of Wuling is here!"

Mubai was startled, carefully helped Xie Shu lie down, and hurried out the door.

Wei Yizhi had already walked up to the corridor, wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, and described it as casual, seeing Mubai walked out, he still didn't forget to close the door, smiled and said: "Why are you so mysterious, Mr. Xie?"

"My lord, she...she is not feeling well and has already rested."

"It's so early? Why is the light still on in the room?" Wei Yizhi didn't take it seriously, and walked past him to push the door, when several figures suddenly appeared beside him, densely blocking the door.

She is Xie Shu's bodyguard.

Wei Yizhi felt something was wrong, and his voice became cold: "What's the matter?"

Mubai remembered Xie Shu's words, he hesitated, wondering if he should tell the truth.

Wei Yizhi said with a sullen face, "You have to do it yourself to get in, right?"

Mubai hurriedly said: "Prince Wuling calm down, please follow me, I will tell you the matter right away."

In the wing room at the northern corner, Chu Lian felt strange when he heard hurried footsteps passing by outside. He went out to have a look, and saw that the courtyard where Xie Shu lived was brightly lit.

He returned to the room and sat down, suddenly feeling a little uneasy.

A few days ago when Xie Shu met Xie Xuan in the garden, he intentionally or unintentionally said to him, if there is any arrangement, he can bring it up as soon as possible, if not, she will arrange it for him.

He asked why, and Xie Shu smiled lightly and said it was just in case.

Now that I think about it, could it be that something is going to happen to her?
In Liuyunxuan, Guangfu walked into the room, looked at Xie Ran who was sitting in a relaxed state, hesitant to speak.

"There's no need to report, I heard something." Xie Ran waved his hand to let him go out, half of his face was hidden in the darkness, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Guangfu did not leave, and said in a low voice, "Wuling King is here."

Xie Ran sat stiffly, and suddenly laughed, but was very sad: "Then the prime minister should be very happy."

Wei Yizhi stood in the corridor, his hands hanging by his side clenched into fists: "You said she was poisoned?"

Mu Bailow behind claimed that it was.

"She's getting sick gradually during this time, is it because of this?"

"That's not true." Mubai lowered his head, "Actually, Young Master's health has been bad for a long time, and Dr. Zhong couldn't find the reason. He only said that his life could not be endangered, but he couldn't overwork. Young Master has been taking care of his body these days, There are also some effects, but the poisoning happened suddenly today, none of us thought of it."

"That means someone has poisoned him." Wei Yizhi rubbed his fingers against the long whip at his waist, and the sound was like a knife and halberd colliding, with a faint and cold voice.

Mubai was shocked in his heart, frightened by his voice, he didn't dare to make a sound.

Suddenly there was a loud noise in the room, Wei Yizhi hurriedly turned around and opened the door to go in, hurried around the screen, and saw Xie Shu lying on the edge of the bed and vomiting while being supported by Dr. Zhong.

He couldn't believe his eyes. Before she left, she was smiling at Yanyan, but now her eyes were closed tightly, her face was pale, as if made of paper, lifeless, and she hesitated even to touch her.

He stabilized his emotions and asked Dr. Zhong: "How is it?"

Dr. Zhong looked at Mubai behind him, he was a little hesitant, after all he was not from the Xie family, so he didn't know whether to say something directly.

Mubai said: "It's okay for Dr. Zhong to be blunt, the King of Wuling knows the identity of the young master, and the young master also trusts him."

Dr. Zhong glanced at Wei Yizhi in surprise, and then said: "Young Master's body is weak, but the medicine used is strong, and the dose is still short, but this medicine is harmful to people after all, and the villain dare not use it anymore, otherwise Even if the son survives, the villain is still hard to bear."

"Why? You speak clearly."

Dr. Zhong glanced at Mubai again, who nodded to him, and he sighed: "The villain said bluntly, this medicine is too much, I'm afraid the young master will end up with no successors in the future. Originally, the villain shouldn't care about these things, But the son made it clear a few months ago that he wanted to conceive, the villain really dare not make up her mind for her."

Mubai widened his eyes in shock.

Wei Yizhi sat down on the edge of the bed, stared at Xie Shu's face, unexpectedly calm: "Besides this, are there any other risks?"

"Yes, the young master has to survive to survive. In short, everything has not yet been determined."

Wei Yizhi helped Xie Shu up, held her in his arms with one hand, and stretched out with the other: "Give me the medicine."

Dr. Zhong was startled, and quickly took the medicine bowl and put it in his hand.

Wei Yizhi put the rim of the bowl to Xie Shu's lips, her teeth were clenched tightly, it was in vain.

"Xie Shu, how dare you give up trying!" He gritted his teeth, squeezed her jaw open forcefully, and poured the medicine in, but she couldn't swallow it at all, it all spilled out, and the white clothes were stained with blood and medicine stains in a mess.

Wei Yizhi lowered his eyes and suddenly said, "You all go out."

Dr. Zhong could only sigh when he saw this, he had tried his best.

Mubai at the side wiped his tears with his cuff, Dr. Zhong patted him on the shoulder, and helped him out the door.

The door was closed, Wei Yizhi tried his best to restrain himself until now, and finally showed panic. He looked down at Xie Shu's face, and his voice trembled when he called her: "Ruyi?"

Xie Shu didn't respond.

"Didn't you tell you to wait for me to come back?" He hugged her tightly: "Drink the medicine quickly, we have won, you still have a lot of things to do, how can you fall down?"

He took a mouthful of the medicine and put it into her mouth. The taste was so bitter that even his will, honed on the battlefield, couldn't bear it, and tears fell down in pain.

Not long after a bowl of medicine was poured down, Xie Shu started to vomit again. He didn't know if he was injured somewhere, but this time he spit out a big mouthful of blood.

When Wei Yizhi touched her hands, he was already a little chilly, and quickly wrapped her tightly around her, choked his lips against her ear and said: "It's okay, you can survive the days in Jingzhou back then, this time I will definitely be able to get over it..." There was a pain in his throat, and he could no longer speak.

Xie Shu fell into his arms, like a piece of fallen jade, no longer warm and moist, only peace and tranquility remained.

The thin morning dew condensed among the flowers and plants under the corridor. This night, some nobles and princes were drunk and unconscious, and some common people were wild and upside down. The sound of oars and lamps and shadows were still there.

Xie Shu seemed to have heard the Jingzhou ballads he used to listen to when he was young. The singer might be Huya, but he was not as happy as before, as if he was about to cry.She wanted to leave that place, but couldn't find her way.

"Ruyi." She turned her head, someone was calling her, and the voice seemed familiar.

"Ruyi." After walking a few more steps, she finally heard who was calling her.

"Zhongqing?"

Wei Yizhi raised his head in astonishment, and the person in his arms was slowly opening his eyes, calling him hoarsely.

"Where am I?"

He smiled, but his voice was choked with sobs, and he reached out to gently stroke her face: "From now on, you will be where I am."
