"Look, you are probably the only one I can rely on."
Hearing this sentence, I subconsciously frowned and immediately wanted to push him away, but at this time I really had no strength at all, so I could only let him press on my back. My violently undulating chest was smoothed up again and again as I breathed, as if it was a silent impact.
He must be very weak, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. After saying that, his breathing became rapid.
I frowned: "What's wrong with you?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw his other hand lying weakly on the bed. The mattress under his palm was stained with blood, which was a bit shocking!
Is it Nangong Lizhu's blood?
Looking at the shocked and surprised expression in my eyes, he also glanced at his hand, then slowly closed his fingers, clenched them into fists, and looked at me again.
"Don't be afraid."
“…”
"fine."
“…”
I didn't say anything, but just stopped quietly for a while. Finally, when I had some strength, I gritted my teeth and took his hand off my body, struggled to sit up, and then helped him. He looked at me, but didn't say anything, and clenched his fists and slowly moved them up by me, and sat on the bed.
I took the pillow next to me and placed it behind him to make him feel a little more comfortable.
After all the troubles, both of them were a little panting.
I sat on the edge of the couch and looked at him for a while. He also looked at me. Although they were all still fine, they clearly saw a little bit of their own embarrassment in each other's eyes.
Then the two of them spoke at the same time.
"you--"
"you--"
Both of them were stunned. He settled for a moment, then looked at me and said silently: "You said."
I also glanced at him and said, "When did you wake up?"
At such a close distance, he curled the corners of his lips slightly, and almost made no sound. He only used his lips to let me see clearly - just now.
Wake up just now?
I looked at him in surprise - I woke up just now, why did I come over to stop me from bringing Wen Sisi and the others in?
Looking at my puzzled eyes, he seemed to understand immediately, but he just chuckled and said, "I don't want others to know what I'm doing before I know what others are doing."
“…”
I forgot that he is an emperor.
Only he controls others, and cannot let others control him.
Thinking of this, for some reason, he was a little weak, and he was sitting on the head of the bed, feeling very weak, but he still looked like he was holding himself up and looked around. I think after he just woke up, he must have looked around and knew that this was Jixian Hall, but he might not know what happened outside.
So, I simply said: "Someone rebelled and attacked from Xuanwu Gate. Now, we all arrived at Jixian Hall."
He frowned slightly.
Even just now, he knew that he was in Jixian Hall, and realized that something must have happened, otherwise he would not have been away from Yihua Palace, the bedroom, or even Jingren Palace, but was moved to Jixian Hall. The atmosphere outside was so weird - but even if he could realize that something was wrong, he probably wouldn't realize that it was such a big deal.
Rebellion or even direct attack into the imperial city is not a crisis that every emperor will encounter.
However, he was not panicked. After a moment of tension, he let out a long sigh and said, "Why do you rebel?"
"The son of the Marquis of Jin, Gongsun Qi, Yuan Mingde of Runan, and the Lin clan of Yunzhong..."
"They. Sure enough..."
There was an unexpected indifference. A hint of coldness appeared on his face, and it seemed that he was a little too weak and could not bear the heavy news. He gasped twice and then said, "It took so long before he started again. They can really hold it back."
I immediately said, "Before that time in Yangzhou--"
He glanced at me and nodded lightly.
really.
I'm not wrong either.
And then, he asked again: "Are these the only ones?"
“…”
I was stunned and looked up at him.
His eyes were as deep as ever, and there were too many things that I couldn't understand, but he seemed to be able to see through everything that happened these days at a glance. As an emperor, he understood the behavior and nature of these people too much, and he must have understood that these people could not really force us to this extent.
I thought about it and said, "After you fainted, the court was in chaos for a while. Some people wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of His Majesty's unconsciousness and make a big fuss and gain the power to assist in the administration."
He looked at me with bright eyes: "How did you deal with it?"
I glanced at him, lowered my eyelids, and said, "The Queen and the People's Women discuss the meaning of the Queen. His Highness the Crown Prince temporarily reigned the country. This can relieve the shock of the court and temporarily appease the ministers."
He frowned slightly and said, "If you think deeply, you may not be able to suppress them."
“…”
“Isn’t it?”
"..." I was silent for a moment and nodded: "Yes."
"so--"
"So," I didn't know why, and I knew that all the things that happened these days should be told to him, but when I talked about it, I always hesitated; but I also knew that no matter how he hesitated, I had to tell him-"So, someone came to assist His Highness the Crown Prince."
His breathing slowly stopped and he looked at me: "Who?"
"…The Supreme Emperor."
“…!”
At this moment, I couldn't hear his breathing, but only saw his hand tightly clenching, and the mattress under his palm was red again.
That's-
I looked at the dazzling redness that had even begun to invade from his fingers, and my heart couldn't help but feel heavy. After a short period of silence, he slowly raised his head and looked at me, his eyes darker than before: "Grand Emperor, is he awake?"
"Yes."
“When did you wake up?”
"After your Majesty's coma."
"What did he say?"
When he asked this, the vigilance in his eyes and tone was already very clear.
Of course I also understand that although there are those traitors who rebel and rebel outside, the one who threatens him even more is actually this Supreme Emperor. Not to mention that the Supreme Emperor abdicated due to illness, his throne was robbed; even if it is just now, once the Supreme Emperor appears, it will clearly press on the emperor's head.
For him, such a thing was obviously unexpected.
Even the accident he was most reluctant to face.
Thinking of this, I hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The Supreme Emperor didn't say anything, but I just told the folk girl some past events."
"……past?"
"Yes."
"What else?"
"there is none left."
"No more..." He murmured, and suddenly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes, but a little desolate appeared: "That's not bad. At least, he never told me about his past."
I was silent for a moment, and then said, "Perhaps it is because the Supreme Emperor still remembers that I was the maid who followed you when the Emperor was still a prince."
He glanced at me, for a while, and smiled faintly, "Maybe."
When I finished saying this, I felt his voice trembling a little, and my whole body seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and I was sweating like a rain of cold sweat. I subconsciously asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
He finally couldn't hold on anymore, and his whole body slowly fell down. I hurriedly reached out to support him. He fell into my elbow and gasped and said, "I, I'm very empty."
“…”
I just came back to my senses. He had been in a coma for so many days. Although the imperial physician had been protecting his body, he had no food or drink. Even if he was still motionless, his physical strength should be exhausted. I hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, wait, I will find you some food right away."
|
Fortunately, Jixian Palace has always been a place where students gather to compile history books, so naturally they will provide them with food. However, of course they couldn't find anything good at this time, and only found a bowl of cold porridge. Because he didn't want people to know that he was awake, I didn't dare to speak out and took it back to him.
He glanced at it, nodded slightly, and then reached out to pick it up.
However, as soon as he raised his hand a little, he fell back weakly.
Then, he looked at me.
...
I glanced at him and didn't say anything. Then I sat silently on the edge of the bed, scooped a spoonful of porridge, and carefully delivered it to his mouth. He glanced at me and drank it.
For the emperor, such leftovers were unimaginable, but he didn't say anything. He took a bite of porridge and put it in his mouth first. After a while, it was not so cold before swallowing it.
I know that he must have experienced some other suffering in his life, which I don’t know. Although he was born rich, no one was in his palm. More of it was his own efforts.
I slowly fed him, and he ate slowly. After a while, a small bowl of porridge was finished.
I didn't ask him if he wanted it or not, nor did he ask me if I had it. I put away the bowl and spoon and saw that there was still some soup on the corner of his mouth, so I took out a handkerchief and wiped it on the corner of his mouth.
He looked up at me, suddenly stretched out his hand, and once again held my wrist.
I suddenly trembled and subconsciously pulled my hand back.
But, I don’t know if he had eaten something and had the strength or if he really wanted to say something to me, but he didn’t let go this time, but used some strength.
I immediately felt a warm wetness in his palm, which soon wet my wrists.
My brow frowned, as if I felt something, and looked down at his hand.
On the palm of his hand, there was a wound that ran across the palm, which appeared in front of me in shock.
I immediately breathed suffocated.
