Chapter 46(1/2)
In summer, even the morning light became dazzling. Xiaoman reached out and picked two large leaves to cover the sunlight. He did not rush to answer Zhou Gongyu's words, and asked him: "Where are we?"
"I haven't learned yet that I shouldn't go far to the southwest."
Xiaoman felt his brain was drowsy and his breathing was not smooth, so he turned his head and coughed twice.
Zhou Gongyu paused slightly and asked, "Did you catch a cold?"
"It seems to be," she said that, and reached out to touch Zhou Gongyu's forehead. The temperature was no longer as hot as last night. Instead, her own hands were hotter.
"Close your eyes and sleep for a while, stop talking."
"Your injury..."
"The wound is not deep, I'm fine."
Zhou Gongyu's tone is quiet and steady, and it is always inexplicably relieved.
She hadn't had a good rest for a long time. Now she was exhausted, her breathing gradually stabilized, and soon she fell asleep.
It is already weak and sickly, and the cool breeze blows all night long. It is inevitable that Xiaoman will be infected with the wind and cold.
The illness came like a mountain of illness, and her illness was caused by unconsciousness and she didn't even know when she arrived in Ningzhou.
The manpower that Zhou Gongyu had planted finally solved the chaos in the mountains and found the two in a mess.
When Xiaoman was seriously ill, his cheeks were covered with a sickly blush, and the cough sounded like a cracked string, and the sound was heart-wrenching.
People have to force themselves to feed the medicine, and their faces are even more visible to the naked eye.
Zhou Gongyu was in her room when handling government affairs. Whenever she heard her coughing unconsciously, the guilt in her heart surged like a tide, constantly slapped him and broke him.
These swords and swords are all his business, so she doesn't have to be involved.
He pulled her into muddy water, but failed to protect her.
Many people died this time, Bai Yan and Lin Qiushuang escaped, and the three doctors who were walking with Lin Qiushuang were all killed.
When she arrived in Ningzhou, she had no extra time to let her be sad and quickly joined the doctor who treated the people.
Lin Qiushuang's master was a hidden master in Medicine Valley. This time, the plague was rampant and the people were living in misery, so he took the initiative to go out to save people.
Seeing that Xiaoman's illness was not improving, Zhou Gongyu sent someone to invite the Lord Ning Gu, and the other party drove the person back mercilessly. Zhou Gongyu could only take his busy schedule to visit him in person.
When he was treating the disease and saving people, he helped decoct medicine and handed the bowl. It took him two hours to invite Master Ning Gu to move.
After Xiaoman's diagnosis and treatment, Master Ning wrote a prescription and asked someone to decoct the medicine. His eyes were unconcealed and asked Zhou Qiaoyu: "This girl is a natural medicine man. Unfortunately, her body is damaged by the drug. It is not a long-term solution to nourish people with medicine."
Zhou Gongyu saluted him and said respectfully: "I dare to ask sir, there is a way to remedy it."
"Has she used Cun Hancao?"
Hearing these three words, his eyes moved slightly.
“It’s true.”
Xiaoman suddenly started coughing, clenched the bedding with his fingers, and grabbed the layers of wrinkles.
After opening his eyes in a daze, he began to call people in a confused manner.
After listening for a long time, Lord Ning heard clearly that she was calling "Mother". After a moment, he was calling "Second Brother Han".
Zhou Gongyu's body froze, and there was a bit of indescribable sadness in his eyes.
Lord Ning Gu naturally knew that the person in front of him was the prince, and he also knew that he was not the one Xiaoman was shouting, so he couldn't help but tease: "She is pleased with others, are you willing to save her?"
Zhou Gongyu glanced at Xiaoman and embedded his cold hand into her five fingers.
"I'm going to let her down before."
Lord Ning Gu smiled and stopped asking.
"It's three parts poisonous, like a medicine jar, and of course it won't last long.
I wrote a prescription and in the future I saw her drink medicine well, so that she would not catch cold, and she would not touch her raw and cold foods.
I will take the rest after I apply the needle and then look at it, but I will still do it step by step.”
"May I ask sir, the medicine she had taken before is useless?"
“I have seen all the prescriptions you brought before.
The doctor is a good person, but everyone in your palace is full of life. The imperial physician even pays attention to the moderation of taking medicine. It is a good thing to seek stability. But according to my opinion, this girl's body cannot be dragged down, so she still needs to use strong medicine."
Zhou Gongyu frowned slightly, and the person in his arms coughed twice, his eyes dissipated and unconscious. It was obvious that he didn't even see who he was. He grabbed his hand and kept shouting "Second Brother Han".
"Everything is done by Mr., as long as she can be saved."
——
Xiaoman didn't know what he was in Ningzhou, but he just felt that everything was like a vague dream.
There were several ups and downs in the dream, and many people appeared for a moment, but in a blink of an eye it turned into a bubble again.
Sometimes it was the scene where the girl in the blue skirt was hanged on the tree with a blue face, and sometimes it was the second brother of Han who was fighting with someone in blood. In a blink of an eye, he saw Tao Si hugging her wet and saying that everything was over.
The cold lake water flooded her mouth and nose. When the suffocation came, her eyes suddenly lit up. Someone grabbed her and pulled her to the water surface.
The dazzling sunlight made her see nothing clearly, and she only heard a "Xiaoman".
The smell of water and coldness almost penetrated into reality from the dream. Xiaoman suddenly woke up, and his body felt cold.
It was already mid-June, but she was cold all over and her palms were covered in cold sweat.
Princess Lingyang was eating cherries while hearing her movements, and quickly spit out the fruit pits to help her.
"Are you awake?"
"Cough cough..." Xiaoman's throat was so painful that he was about to speak.
Seeing that it was Lingyang, he couldn't help but blink in confusion.
Princess Lingyang saw her question and said, "You have not woken up these days, and Jiang Husi has been worried. Let me see you.
It's just woke up..."
As soon as the words fell, a sound of bead curtain hitting came.
Zhou Gongyu walked into the inner room and his eyes fell on Xiaoman. Instead, he poured a cup of warm water and handed it over.
Ling Yang looked at them hesitantly, not knowing whether he should stay here.
Xiaoman drank too fast and choked himself. Before Lingyang could make a sound, Zhou Gongyu took Xiaoman from her hand and held her back and patted her gently.
Seeing that Zhou Gongyu did not speak, Ling Yang was not in a hurry to leave, and stood aside and looked at the two of them secretly.
If it were in the past, she would not have seen Zhou Gongyu's appearance.
After being pestered by her for so long, he never showed such a gentle expression. He thought he was born cold and heartless.
Xiaoman pushed Zhou Gongyu away a little, turned his head to cough, and thanked him after he recovered.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Zhou Gongyu looked at her expressionlessly, and for the first time he felt so disgusted with the word "thank you".
Every time he said it, it made him feel that the two of them were much more distant.
Xiaoman looked at Lingyang: "Brother, can everything be fine?"
"Don't worry, his body is much better than you."
Xiaoman nodded, "That's good."
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Gongyu as if he had remembered something.
"Have your injury healed?"
Ling Yang's expression changed: "What's the injury?
My cousin is still injured?
Those rebels deserve to die. How dare they attack the prince of the dynasty..."
Xiaoman looked complicated and lowered his head and said to him in a very low voice: "I'm sorry."
"Lingyang", Zhou Gongyu took the cup, his tone was a little cold and hard, "Go out."
I stopped eating Lingyang cherries, so I opened the curtain and walked out quickly.
The crisp sound of jade beads colliding fell into the deep pool like rain, and the room was filled with the bitter taste of medicine.
Xiaoman looked at the window, and the light shone on the window frame, and it should be a sunny day outside.
It's been a long time since she saw the bright sunshine and the sparkling scenery.
"What are you thinking?"
The people around her were caught off guard and interrupted Xiaoman's thoughts. She sat upright and replied: "I had a very long dream, and there were many people in the dream."
When Zhou Gongyu heard that her voice was still hoarse, he poured a glass of water and handed it to her.
"You have been waking up with a high fever these days and have been talking nonsense. Today is the fifth day, so you will naturally dream."
He still felt scared when he remembered these days, and even his fingers holding the cup were shaking slightly.
