The rain, which had already stopped slowly, began to patter again, and gradually became bigger and bigger. Tang Zhuozuo got up and got out of bed, walked to the window of the temple, and only saw the string of lanterns that went away.
Huo Qiu has gone far.
She lowered her eyes and looked at the dim sky. She didn't know what she was thinking. Her face was as heavy as water. An Xia thought she was being quarreled and her heart was upset, so she came over and kneaded her shoulders and said: "Manny, the night is still deep. The maidservant will wait for you to go to bed again."
Tang Zhuozuo shook his head, and then thought of Zhong Yuxi who came over at night.
"What's the situation with that person in Yuxi Palace now?" There were fine icy scum in her glazed eyes, and she looked up to a certain direction in the darkness.
That is the location of Yuxi Palace.
An Xia's movements stopped, and she looked at Tang Zhuozhuo's expression carefully. Seeing her face as usual, she said: "Manny, the slave listened to Xiaoyu from Yuxi Palace saying that Zhong Liangdi had just returned to the palace and asked the grand ladies around him to go. In the yard where my auntie shared her room, it was not clear what she said specifically."
Tang Zhuozuo fiddled with the scallion nails glowing under the candlelight, hesitated for a moment, and then smiled casually.
"She has learned a little bit smarter."
It's getting more and more like Concubine Zhong Xian from the previous life.
She pursed her lips, and put the small sachet in her hand on the table, her white fingers suddenly fragrant, and she nodded with satisfaction.
Compared to Zhong Yuxi, Liu Hanjiang is what she cares about most now.
But this matter, she couldn't say anything.
In the past, it was okay to mention a few words vaguely, but now she can't tell Huo Qiu straightforwardly that your counselor will rebel, you have to guard in advance.
Huo Qiu would only think that her mind was not normal.
It's really sad.
Tang Zhuozuo gave a soft tut, and finally went to bed and rested.
No matter how much I read it in my heart, I am anxious, and it is useless.
This sleep came to the early morning of the second day. Tang Zhuozuo was awakened by the sound of cicadas outside, and turned over while clutching the quilt, only to hear a very light laugh. Only when she revealed a head from the soft quilt, she saw Huo Qiu, who was dressed in the court dress of the prince, standing in front of the bed, looking at herself with a smile from the corner of her eyes.
She moved slowly to the cushion, her voice still soft after a long sleep, and asked: "When did your Highness come back?"
What happened to that last night?
An Xia silently brought in the wash basin, wiped her face and rinsed her mouth, then smiled and retreated.
Huo Qiu's voice was a little low and hoarse, she woke up so much in love with this soft, weak and lazy look, she wanted to have a soft face, so that he wanted to blend in with himself.
"The lonely person came back soon." He paused, and then said: "Father is ill, he doesn't have to go to court today, he finally steals a day of free time."
Tang Zhuozhuo rested his cheek in his hand, and the bells tied to his wrists were crisp and moving, like the sound of raindrops hitting the bottom of a deep well.
She looked dissatisfied and complained and mumbled: "I don't know who was hooked by your Royal Highness last night, and when you fell asleep, you disappeared."
Huo Qiulue groaned, his eyebrows became cold, and even his voice was full of chills, "Yesterday Liu Hanjiang was attacked by a group of people of unknown origin. He was almost injured and went to deal with it alone."
Tang Zhuozuo quickly raised his head and glanced at him. He didn't expect his answer to be so succinctly and neatly, and he didn't make up a random reason to dismiss him.
As she fiddled with the dried flowers and fine salt in the cup, she said in a little surprise: "But the concubine's brother mentioned Mr. Liu? He is under His Royal Highness?"
Huo Qiu's deep black eyes were unclear. After looking at her for a long time, he leaned over and rubbed her hair in her slightly nervous eyes, and hummed noncommittally from the throat.
She really guessed what happened last night.
Tang Zhuozuo constricted the complicated expression in Xing's eyes, and asked casually, "What happened to Mr. Liu?"
"Can you find the identity of the assassin?"
Tang Zhuozhuo frowned, only then realized that Liu Hanjiang's sudden defection in his previous life was not in collusion with the Sixth Prince, but something unknown happened during the period.
A layer of frost hung on Huo Qiu's face, frowning deeply, the light in his eyes flickered, and he shook his head slightly after a long while and sneered: "Except for the people on Huo Qi's side, the others don't think about it."
"Before I alone sent some more people, Liu Hanjiang is fine, but his wife suffered some minor injuries, which is not a problem."
Tang Zhuozuo's actions stopped, and he nodded very seriously after hearing this, and felt that it was something that the Sixth Princes could do.
She nodded her head, and a few strands of the blue silk swayed loosely with a jasper hairpin dropped down on the side of her white cheek, shaking her heart softly.
Huo Qiu looked at it a few steps away, his expression softened quietly.
The sky outside was bright and bright, and even the sun that had disappeared for a few days hung in the sky, slowly revealing a scorching light.
After a while, Tang Zhuozuo changed into plain clothes and followed Huo Qiu into the study.
Every day Huo Qiu didn't understand the Gu, she couldn't feel at ease.
Doctor Li and Han Suanzi waited until now, after they had waited so hard in the early morning, that they finally saw the two masters, and after a glance at each other, they both got up and saluted.
Huo Qiu waved his sleeves to signal them to get up, and then turned around and asked Tang Zhuozuo, "What medicinal tools are needed? I'll prepare them alone."
Tang Zhuozuo just grabbed the soft smile on his face every inch, and became particularly dignified. This time, unlike her previous targets of unguling, it was Huo Qiu who needed her to unplug.
He is the prince who is above the tens of thousands of people, and the future Emperor Chongjian, but for her, he is the one who has protected her for two lifetimes, and is her husband.
Thinking about this, her palms sweated again, and the snow-white veil got a little wet. She put the veil aside without a trace, and said seriously to the doctor Li: "A set of heating is needed. Silver needle."
Imperial Physician Li and Han Suan looked at each other, but at last it was Imperial Physician Li exclaiming in disbelief: "Is the prince concubine preparing to administer the needle to your Royal Highness?"
Tang Zhuozuo nodded lightly, and the latter shook his head again and again, stroking half a hundred beard.
"Princess Concubine, the injection is no small matter. If the force is not accurate, your Royal Highness is suffering alive!"
Han Suanzi also shook his head, but he still pondered for a moment and asked, "Dare to ask your mother, where to apply the needle?"
Tang Zhuozhuo stood quietly in the room listening to their remarks, Tingting curled up and pursed her lips and said truthfully: "Head and face."
Han Suanzi and Doctor Li were shocked and shook their heads again and again. They couldn't believe that she was a daughter of a family who had been raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child.
How could the life and wealth of His Highness be handed over to a woman? Especially this woman once hated His Highness deeply.
Tang Zhuozhao coldly held a pretty face, lowered the emotion in his eyes, and turned to look at Huo Qiu, who had never spoken.
Only Huo Qiu can really make a final decision.
"His Royal Highness..." She just spoke, and Huo Qiu stretched out her hand to stop the next words, his sword eyebrows were deep, his cold eyes were filled with endless majesty, and his eyes fell on Tang Zhuozuo's peach blossom surface for a while. Immediately he ordered: "Go and prepare the silver needle."
This is to prepare for injection?
Han Suan shook the feather fan in his hand, and weighed his words and said: "Niang, the acupuncture method is inattentive, which can cause great damage to your highness. Why should I ask the doctor Li to think about other methods?"
Tang Zhuozhuo pursed his lips, and shook his head firmly after a while, "If you talk about it any more, you will only have to cut the flesh and scrape the bones. Does the doctor Li think this method is better for your Royal Highness's body?"
The physician Li hesitated for a moment, and then he knelt down with his robes, his face full of worry, a little excited and said: "Although that method has suffered a little, but there is no worry about life, the lady of this method, if the silver needle is more advanced, it will It is the end of hemiplegia."
Tang Zhuozuo also knew what they meant, and they were all thinking about solving Huo Qiu's Gu, but Doctor Li and Han Operator were seeking stability.
Tang Zhuozhuo's apricot eyes opened slightly, and the light inside, coupled with her extremely strong color, made Grand Doctor Li a little lost for a while.
With such an appearance, who does not love men in the world? No wonder His Highness was holding it like a pearl, and his sanity lost a bit.
Tang Zhuozhuo Ying’s lips lightly opened, and the words were round and round, and he said one by one: "Doctor Li can't really stand and speak. He wants to make your Royal Highness suffer from the pain of meat and bone scraping? I am the wife of your Royal Highness, if he is out today. Matter, just take my life away."
Huo Qiu turned the jade finger on his thumb, and his expression gradually softened. He stood up straight and looked at the petite figure blocking him. The blood in every part of his body was screaming, making his heart tremble. .
This is the first time he has heard the words "fat a wife" from Tang Zhuozhuo's mouth. She has always disliked the word most.
She has always been too lazy to bother with others. Whether it is Zhong Yuxi or the people around, she said she didn't want to see, she didn't wait to see, and she vividly interpreted the word not seeing and not disturbing.
His Jiaojiao!
Now, for him, he was fighting with his subordinates for reasons, and even used his own life as a guarantee, just to save him from such suffering.
In fact, how could he be afraid of this pain? No matter how painful he was, he felt it.
Tang Zhuozuo turned around at this time, and his white cheeks glowed brightly, which looked like a good piece of suet fat warm jade, but his cheeks were red with annoyance because they couldn't explain it to them.
"His Royal Highness, I..." She paused, wringing her handkerchief and said with some difficulty: "I will not harm you."
After all, for fear that he would not believe it, she repeated it in a low voice.
After all, there is no confidence. She has caused him innumerable troubles in her previous life, and there is one chilling thing after another, but she has never hurt him.
Needless to say in this life.
Huo Qiu's eyes became extremely deep and secluded in an instant, he put his hands behind him, and solemnly ordered: "Go get the needle."
Han Suanzi and Doctor Li looked at each other, and didn't dare to disobey him, and did so even reluctantly.
The only thing that makes people feel a little more at ease is that His Royal Highness works very well on weekdays, and he knows what to do.
The weather was hot, and an ice basin was placed in the study. The wind swelled with coolness, and the faint fragrance of kapok, with a soft and sweet fragrance in the cold, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Tang Zhuozuo sat on a soft stool with a particularly solemn expression, the silver needle glowing with cold was roasted in her hand, making a noise.
Han Suanzi didn't shake the fan anymore, staring at the movement in her hand, for fear of any accident.
When the needles were hot, she pressed her lips tightly and cleaned her hands with a veil, and then softly asked the man sitting on the opposite side: "Your Highness, are you ready?"
Huo Qiu faintly glanced at the silver needle in her hand, nodded lightly, and immediately closed his eyes, there was no abnormality on the face.
Tang Zhuozuo's expression became extremely cold, and his hands under his sleeves trembled slightly.
When the needle was actually applied, she slowly calmed her mind. The silver needles lined up from the tiger’s mouth in the left hand to the forearm and then to the lean arm. At the last moment, Tang Zhuozhuo breathed out gently and picked it up. Took the remaining two silver needles.
Han Suan and Doctor Li, who were watching from the sidelines, were already sweating, and now they saw her move their eyebrows and their spirits were extremely tense.
Tang Zhuozuo was also nervous, and even some small beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but his hands were extremely stable, and he carefully screwed the silver needle into Huo Qiu's eyebrows and temples.
After all the injections were given, she slowly stood up and said: "Go and get a pot of warm water."
Han operator observed Huo Qiu carefully, and saw that his breathing was steady and calm, and he was completely relieved, shaking the feather fan and smiling: "The lady is superb, but I am waiting to see."
Tang Zhuozhuo carefully observed the Gu worm on Huo Qiu's left hand, and smiled upon hearing this, and said, "Mr. praised."
After another stick of incense, Huo Qiu slowly opened his eyes. He stared at the direction of his left arm. Tang Zhuozuo calculated that the time should be almost too. The clear eyes slowly slid across the man’s face. Then he looked at his strong forearm.
The purple and black on the top have all condensed into a ball, showing a strange black-blue color.
Tang Zhuozuo was relieved and let out a sigh of relief. The smile on her face was full of water. She stroked his forearm with her slender, boneless fingers, and probed the hardness under his flesh. She felt that she would almost have a needle. The roots came out.
Han Suan and Doctor Li also leaned over, and when they saw this scene, they were busy asking: "Manny, this Gu worm hasn't come out yet."
Tang Zhuozhuo's complexion condensed inch by inch, and Huo Qiu's gaze was met, and his slender fingers pointed to the place where the needle had just been applied. Layers of black things emerged from the surface of the skin, slowly and creepy.
A stinky smell filled the air, Huo Qiu frowned deeply, and the other hand hanging beside him couldn't help but shook his hand.
Now that she is so embarrassed, she doesn't know if she will dislike it.
Tang Zhuozuo looked at it for a moment, her glazed apricot eyes glowed with sparkling water, and she spoke to Doctor Li in a crisp voice, "I borrow the knife for a use."
When the small knife reached her hand, she bit her lower lip, squatted halfway in front of Huo Qiu, staring at his black eyes, and explained with a little annoyance: "Your Highness, the gu worm pus inside can't come out, concubine You have to make a cut to let the contents flow out."
She got closer, and the faint fruity scent on her body came faintly. Her slightly cool hem rubbed against Huo Qiu's arm, stained with black filth, Huo Qiu turned away, his heart was sour and swollen.
She has always liked the clean person the most, even if her body is smeared with dust for a long time, now she is squatting in front of him, the cuffs are stained with pus and blood from his body, and she doesn't see any disgusting expression.
Huo Qiu suddenly clenched a fist, desperately wanting to pinch her shoulder to question.
Is she showing a touch of affection for herself, or is she just determined to do her duty as the princess?
What about Wang Yi?
Can Tang Zhuozuo really forget it?
Huo Qiu's thoughts turned a thousand times for a while, and he was surprised that there was scrupulousness everywhere in this relationship. His face suddenly sank, and finally only lightly nodded and said, "It's okay, let's get started."
