81, Chapter 81
Xue Shu fell silent.
He had known for a long time that Yin Chengyu was such a person. No matter in his previous life or in this life, he would always put his personal desires behind the overall situation, and he would always care about the country, the country, and the people.
In the last life, Yin Chengyu's health deteriorated after he ascended the throne. The imperial physician repeatedly warned him that he could no longer work so hard and that he needed to take good care of himself. But at that time, the big swallow was riddled with internal and external troubles.
After the purge of officials in the DPRK, there were not many available people. Yin Chengyu was worried and still ignored his health and worked hard day and night to handle political affairs. He even did the reviewing and reviewing of papers himself.
He saw it in his eyes and wanted to share the burden for him. But at that time, the relationship between the two was already very delicate. He was afraid that Yin Chengyu would be suspicious and unhappy if he took the initiative to accept the power of approval, so he could only stay with him silently.
His side.
There was a mountain of papers to be approved on the Imperial Examination Board, and the corrections could not be completed even late into the night.
He knew that he couldn't persuade anyone, but he was also worried that staying up like this would strain his eyes, so he lit a candle and read him one fold after another.
Looking back now, it was a rare peaceful time. The two of them often stayed together until late at night. Occasionally, Yin Chengyu was really tired and would unknowingly lean on his shoulder to take a nap.
He felt light-headed and often just closed his eyes for a while, then woke up soon and continued to review the memorials.
They spent many nights cuddling together like this.
He was angry that Yin Chengyu didn't care about his body, and he got angry about it. But every time he faced Yin Chengyu, he was always the loser.
Yin Chengyu is like a beacon in the dark night, burning himself with all his strength, hoping to illuminate the people of Yan in the long night.
He was attracted by the light, but he was also afraid that one day, the night would be dark and the lights would be exhausted.
Xue Shu took a deep breath, and the cold air filled his lungs, suppressing the surging anger.
He looked at Yin Chengyu's right shoulder. The silver-white armor was broken into pieces. The black clothes inside were torn, revealing the cotton wool inside. There were sporadic blood stains on the cotton wool?. In winter, the clothes are thicker, no matter how much they are.
He couldn't see it. He subconsciously wanted to reach out to confirm the injury, but he was afraid of hurting him, so he curled up his fingers and asked in a low voice: "Does it hurt?"
Yin Chengyu looked sideways at the wound and frowned. He wanted to say "it doesn't hurt," but his words changed again: "It hurts a little. Let me take a look."
The tiger was so ferocious that many people were injured in the fight. Yin Chengyu simply ordered people to rest where they were and count the wounded.
Xue Shu ordered his people to set up the tent to block the biting cold wind, and then asked him to take off his armor and outer clothes to check his wounds.
After a while of delay, the blood stains on the wound had solidified and stuck to the clothes.
Xue Shu frowned, relaxed his movements as much as possible, and carefully separated the adhering underwear.
The injury is just a superficial injury, not serious.
But the tiger's claws were so sharp that even if it was just scratched on the shoulder, it would not hurt the muscles and bones, but still leave deep claw marks. If this injury happened to those with rough skin and thick flesh, look at it.
Maybe it's okay. But if it was Yin Chengyu, Xue Shu's heart would twitch.
The shocking bruises spread from the right shoulder to the shoulder blade. Above the bruises, there were three deep red scratches. The delicate skin and flesh around them rolled up, and there were black and red blood stains that had solidified into blood clots.
"You have to clean the wound before applying medicine." Xue Shu sat face to face with him and dipped the clean cotton cloth he had prepared into the strong wine. He glanced at the man with a frown and turned sideways.
He leaned forward with his left shoulder and said, "If it hurts, Your Highness, just bite me."
After that, he stopped talking and cleaned his wounds as gently as possible.
In fact, the wound was not very painful, but when it was cleaned with strong alcohol, it was much more painful than being scratched by a tiger. Veins bulged on Yin Chengyu's forehead, and he gritted his teeth hard to keep from crying.
The sound comes.
Xue Shu probably noticed his pain and moved more cautiously.
Yin Chengyu took a breath, put his head on his shoulder, and urged with a side face: "Move faster."
Xue Shu had no choice but to speed up his movements. Beads of sweat broke out on Yin Chengyu's forehead. The pain was severe, so he leaned his head on his shoulder and bit his clothes.
I actually wanted to bite him and make him feel as much pain as me.
But suddenly I remembered that at this time in the previous life, Xue Shu also blocked Emperor Longfeng.
This was all before he returned to the palace. When he inquired about it later, the details were always not so clear. I only know that during the winter hunting of Danxi, Emperor Longfeng was in danger, and Xue Shu risked his life to save him, and then he won Longfeng.
Emperor Feng's trust.
As for how dangerous the situation was at that time, and how badly Xue Shu was injured, he had no idea.
But he remembered the old scars on Xue Shu's chest that he had occasionally glimpsed. Perhaps one of them was left from that time.
I can't bear to cause him any more pain.
Yin Chengyu closed his eyes slightly and asked hoarsely: "Were you in pain at that time?"
Xue Shu paused for a moment, then continued as if nothing had happened.
Of course it hurts.
He is just an ordinary person, and he will also suffer from illness. It's just that he is always more tolerant than others.
In his previous life, Emperor Longfeng did not have such a large number of people with him on his winter hunt. But he wanted to attract the attention of Emperor Longfeng during his winter hunt, so he tried his best to squeeze into the team of attendants.
When Emperor Longfeng was hunting tigers, just like today, he failed to hit the tiger's vital points several times, but instead aroused the tiger's ferocity.
But Emperor Longfeng's health at that time was not as healthy as it is now. He was consumed by drinking and sex in his early years, and later he often took elixirs. Although he looked healthy on the surface, his health had actually collapsed long ago.
So when the tiger pounced, he was knocked to the ground by the frightened horse before he even had time to gallop away.
At that time, the guard did not react in time, and he rushed over to block the tiger's fatal blow for Emperor Longfeng.
The price was two broken ribs and a heavy blow to the abdomen.
The situation was dangerous at that time. After Emperor Longfeng escaped from danger, he ordered the imperial physician to treat him with all his strength.
At that time, he had no relatives or friends in the palace, and he only thought that if he died, his Highness would really have no one to save him. In the end, he survived by luck with the breath in his heart.
After surviving, he did not dare to lie on the hospital bed for too long. He had to take advantage of the time when Emperor Longfeng still remembered him to show his usefulness and win people over to him.
And facts have proven that everything he did was worth it.
Xue Shu changed a piece of cotton cloth and continued to clean the wound. The dirt in the wound was gradually cleaned up, and bright red blood flowed out. He used another piece of cotton cloth to dry the blood stains, skillfully sprinkled the wound with hemostatic powder, and then wrapped it with a bandage.
.
From beginning to end, Yin Chengyu's question was never answered.
He knew that Yin Chengyu had already guessed something, or had confirmed it.
But he didn't want to admit it, and he didn't dare to admit it.
Okay? When Yin Chengyu saw that he didn't answer, he didn't press any further.
Xue Shu breathed a sigh of relief and carefully tied the bandage.
"alright."
Yin Chengyu straightened his body and tried to move his arms. He felt a bit of dull pain, but it was bearable and did not affect his activities too much.
He glanced at Xue Shu and ordered him as usual: "Go get a basin of water and wipe your face."
I had sweated a lot just now, and now my face is a little sticky.
Xue Shu went out to change the water without saying a word.
Yin Chengyu looked at his back and laughed silently.
Nine thousand years old, who is so decisive in killing, there are times when he is so timid.
He turned the jade ring on his finger, thinking that he would always find an opportunity to peel off the layer of human skin he was wearing.
Since Emperor Longfeng led his people to be shortlisted, all the officials in Da?Yan have been worried.
I originally thought it would take half a day to get back out, but after just over an hour, I saw a group of people coming out of the paddock, led by none other than Emperor Longfeng in Minghuang robes.
At this time, Emperor Longfeng looked different from the one who was so frightened and trembling just now.
Although he was frightened to death by the tiger, after he came to his senses, he still cared about the emperor's dignity. He stopped to tidy up his clothes, and after taking another pill, he led the people out.
When they were in the paddock, Gao Xian understood his expression and had already beaten the people accompanying him. Except for the people present today, no one else would know about the accident that happened while hunting the tiger.
When the men and horses came closer, Emperor Longfeng dismounted, and a young eunuch came to help him remove his armor. Gao Xian guessed Emperor Longfeng's thoughts and ordered people to deliver the two very strong tiger corpses.
At the place of counting, he raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty is hunting two tigers."
There was a sudden uproar in the stands, and there was endless praise.
A trace of discomfort flashed on Emperor Longfeng's face, but he quickly became calm again. Although there were some mistakes, the men and horses he brought with him hunted the tiger, so naturally it was killed by him.
"Two tigers will be disposed of, the skins will be kept, and the rest will be rewarded to the person who has contributed to the tiger hunting."
At this time, many people were curious to see the two tigers, and Emperor Longfeng was escorted up to the stand with a proud look on his face.
Aharu and the Wala envoys were a step behind, looking at the ignorant officials of the Yan Dynasty who were still sparing no effort to praise the bravery of Emperor Longfeng, and curled their lips in disdain.
It's just that they are all human beings, and no one has exposed this lie.
After all, if the tigers were not hunted by Emperor Longfeng, then the credit for these two tigers would probably be attributed to the prince. This would be harmful rather than beneficial to them.
Aharu sat down and carefully considered everything that happened while hunting the tiger.
Although Emperor Longfeng was a man who could not hold up a wall, the great Prince Yan was really a good bamboo shoot among the bad bamboos.
And the prince's men? The few men he led were no less worthy of the Tatar warriors.
This useless emperor is not something to be afraid of, but if the prince succeeds to the throne, he may pose a considerable threat to the Tatars in the future.
Thinking of King Khan's instructions before leaving, Aharu tapped his knees with his fingers, summoned the accompanying guards and whispered: "Find a way to send a message to Princess Wuzhu and tell her to move faster." A flash in his eyes.
Ruthless: "This time I can only succeed, not fail!"
After resting on the spot for an hour, Yin Chengyu ordered people to take the previously hunted prey and the wounded whose injuries affected their movement to the outside of the paddock.
The remaining forty-odd people are preparing to continue going deep into the paddock to look for traces of the Wolf King.
Just as he was about to set off to leave, he suddenly heard another faint call coming from the cave.
The tips of Yin Chengyu's ears suddenly stopped moving, looked towards the dark cave, and said to Zhao Lin: "Go over and have a look."
He remembered the two tigers from before, one was slightly larger and the other was slightly smaller. Although he didn't have time to distinguish the male and female, just seeing the two tigers appearing one after the other, it couldn't be said that they were a pair.
