away from the heart

181 Chapter 5
In the Canary Palace, Naxi lay quietly, showing no sign of waking up.All kinds of medicinal materials and supplements were sent into the Canary Palace like flowing water, and the imperial doctors came in and out, but they were still helpless, seeing her breathing weakened a little bit.Doertu was upset when he saw it, and he waved his hand to tell everyone to retreat, and sat in the house by himself, watching the stream full of worries: "Princess, if you really have something wrong, how can I explain it to the king! "

Suddenly there was a light cough in the dark.Dortu drew his knife in his hand and said vigilantly, "Who?!"

Dong Shi showed his body without any delay: "Naturally...the one who has a way to save the Princess."

The silver needle pierced into the acupuncture point, causing a bit of numbness and soreness, and the consciousness finally came back.Duoertu looked at Naxi's slowly opening eyes, and was ecstatic: "Princess, you have woken up!"

Na Xi's body was still weak, she said slowly: "I... what's wrong with me?"

Duo Ertu paid his respects to Dongdong, and his gratitude was beyond words: "Thank you, the national teacher, for your help!"

Dong Shi pretended to be mysterious and waved his hands and said: "No need to thank you, it's better not to spread the news of the princess' awakening."

"Why?"

"Boldly ask the Princess, what do you want to come to Xizhao this time?" Dong Shi approached the stream with a deep expression.

"What do I want, what does it have to do with you?" Na Xi replied angrily, she couldn't figure out what the Nansang Guoshi in front of her was trying to do.

"I risked my life to save the princess because we have a common enemy."

"Who?"

"Xu Chuyue."

Na Xi gave a pause and let Doertu help himself up.

"The national teacher may wish to speak bluntly."

"It's very simple," Dong Shi said bluntly, "You help me catch Xu Chuyue, and I'll help you get Xue Yao."

Na Xi was deeply surprised, wondering how many people that girl Xu Chuyue had offended, that some people came to him to make a deal.

"The princess can think about it carefully, and it's not too late to make a decision." Dong Shi was sure of it, and he had expected that Xi was a useful pawn.

The two looked at each other, as if they both wanted to take a thorough look at the calculations in the other's mind.

Dong Shi was the first to speak: "If the princess wants to get General Xue, he must not let him know that you are awake."

Na Xi squinted her eyes, but still obeyed Dong Shi's instructions.

"Okay, I'll just listen to the national teacher for a while."

Xue Yao knelt in the middle of the imperial study room, and presented the Iron Coupon of the Danshu with both hands.

"Today, the property will be returned to the original owner. I also ask the emperor to agree to my request and spare Chuyue's life."

The emperor held the iron coupon of the Danshu in his hand, looked at it carefully, and said meaningfully: "You want to use the gold medal for avoiding death that your ancestors used to bless future generations on Chuyue? Could it be that...or you still have no love for her?" ?”

"It's just thinking about the old relationship. Chuyue and I have nothing to do with each other. There is no human power to resist."

"Heh." The emperor smiled slightly, "Then why did you take this out? This is my Nansang's gold medal for avoiding death. Seeing this is like seeing a king."

Xue Yao was unmoved, and said calmly: "This subordinate thinks about the old feelings, and feels that the princess has been framed by others, and cannot bear the bad guys to go unpunished."

"No matter what the truth is, Xizhao has already set his sights on Chuyue. To avoid the death of the gold medal, it is inevitable to avoid troubles other than Nansang. Even if the first emperor is alive, you know?" The emperor put the iron coupon of the pill back into the brocade box, "Xue Yao, don't you understand? Only you can save Naxi. Xizhao has already said that they want you to marry Naxi Chongxi like you married Chuyue back then."

Xue Yao kowtowed to the emperor with a firm tone: "I'm sorry, it's hard to follow orders."

"Don't you know how to turn war into jade? If the two countries are at war because of this, what should you do?" the emperor asked sharply.

"Then let them let their horses come over! What's the point of being a defeated general?"

"General Xue is different from your ancestors." The emperor said coldly, "Your fathers and relatives did not hesitate to fight to the death in other lands in order to protect the people. Fortunately, you, relying on your own bravery and invincibility, do not seem to care about the tens of thousands of Li people at the border."

Xue Yao sneered, "Xizhao has a proverb that fleeing lambs will only make the wolves more excited."

"Okay!" The emperor waved his sleeves, sat back on the dragon chair, and said in a harsh tone, "It seems that General Xue is going to let my people make rations for hungry wolves, okay, very good—Xing , the people suffer, die, the people suffer, the people rise and fall, all in the general's mind."

Xue Yao was in extreme pain. He never wanted the people of Nansang to suffer from homelessness, the separation of their wives and children, but Chuyue was still locked in a dark prison. Such a choice made him suffer a lot.Xue Yao finally compromised: "Chen, I absolutely have no such intention."

The emperor smiled, he knew that Xue Yao couldn't do anything cruel.As soon as Xue Yao went out, he asked someone to call Chuyue over. The jailer said that she had a prophetic dream in the prison. He didn't believe it at all, but he wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in the little girl's gourd.

Chuyue seemed to be cowering in the hall, her eyes rolling around.
