He smiled calmly: "Because it is difficult to deal with, so take your time."
“…”
I looked at his eyes very calmly for a while, and then said, "You don't have enough time to detoxify, right?"
“…”
"Xiao Yusheng told me that the poison you have injures people, and the method of relieving it is even more poisonous. When detoxification, your life is hanging on the line. Although it has been suffocated, it will be at least half a year in bed. But you, you will appear in the Jiehe so quickly to save me..."
“…”
"It's because you are coming to save me, so you haven't waited until all the poison in your body is removed, right?"
“…”
He looked at me in surprise, and was silent for a while before he said with a complicated expression: "Yes."
But immediately, he said, "But you know when I look at my appearance, I'm still fine for the time being."
This time I almost made up my mind that he could never believe his words. Even if he didn't want to lie to me, he could use the most sincere attitude and the most honest eyes to make me believe everything he wanted me to believe, so he ignored his words and said, "Then, what are you now? You can do it if you don't say it. Anyway, after crossing the Yellow River, passing Shaanxi, and in Shu, I can still find someone to ask."
But the torment I felt along the way was something I couldn't imagine.
He seemed to be afraid of this and hesitated for a moment. At this moment, a servant walked over with the medicine bowl and leaned over and said, "Third Master, the medicine is ready."
My attention was suddenly put on the bowl of medicine, and he also felt it. He took the medicine bowl and waved his hand to let the servant retreat, then turned his head to look at me, and said, "I don't know very well what's going on in my body. However, the owner of Miaosanmen gives me some of this medicine every day for me to drink, which can relieve the toxicity."
My heart was about to cool down: "If, if, one day, he doesn't give you this medicine, you will get poisonous?"
He nodded gently.
I hurriedly said, "Then-"
"Only yesterday, I didn't give it to me."
“…”
As a gust of wind blew, the flame pounced on me again. I reached out to grab his wrist. He looked down at my pale face and smiled slightly: "But look, I'm still fine now."
Although he said it so lightly, I already understood it all.
Along the way, he was controlled by Miaosanmen because of the antidote problem. Especially after Tongguan waited for this team to rescue Linfen, even his every move was under the "surveillance" of those people. No wonder he dared to speak to the emperor before, and even said such a rebellious word as "not obeying the rules" in front of Pei Yuanhao. But during this period, he could not do anything and could only delay time in secret.
The more this happens, the more suspicion it arouses Pei Yuanhao.
But he couldn't even say a word to me, because if I knew that the poison in his body was not solved, I would be sad for him, just like now, my heart was cut off.
My voice was hoarse, "At that time, you didn't let someone touch your medicine, but you were actually guarding me because you knew I was pharmacological, right?"
He glanced at me, was silent for a moment before nodding gently.
The turbid medicine soup can only barely reflect my shadow, and the bitter smell hit my face with the steaming heat. If I had seen this bowl of medicine as close as I did now, I would have been able to quickly recognize that it was not a medicine for wind and cold at all, but even if it wasn't there, from the fact that he didn't let people, especially guarding against me to touch his medicine, I already felt that there was something wrong with his medicine and something wrong with his body.
I just don't dare to admit it in my heart, I'm afraid that once I admit it, I will face the irreversible truth.
His eyes were sour, as if tears were about to flow out. He looked at my red eyes and said softly: "I'm afraid of seeing you like this. Didn't you say that, I'm still fine now."
I choked for a long time before barely saying, "You take the medicine first."
He sighed and drank the medicine in one sip.
I asked hurriedly, "Are you better?"
If there was a more rational me sitting next to him at this time, he would definitely laugh at this ignorant me. He was obviously controlled by the antidote from the Miaosanmen, so how could the other party give him a pair of medicine that can completely remove the toxicity in the body? How could he take effect immediately after drinking a bowl of medicine?
But he still nodded at me seriously: "It's much better."
I came back to my senses, smiled bitterly, and said, "What about next? What about tomorrow?"
Qinghan rubbed the corner of his mouth, handed the empty bowl to the servant, and then said, "They split the way with us. Before the split, Alan asked them to give me enough medicine."
"Enough? How many are enough?"
"Enough we feel that Xi'an Prefecture."
"Xi'an Prefecture?" My spirit was shaking: "So, they are going to Xi'an Prefecture too?"
He nodded and said, "If I'm not wrong, after the emperor passed Tongguan, his itinerary would be under their control."
I hurriedly said, "But didn't Lord Gao send someone to pick him up? There are also many soldiers stationed in Xi'an Prefecture!"
Qinghan shook his head gently: "Things are not that simple."
"What?"
"There are indeed many soldiers and horses stationed in Xi'an Prefecture, and Gao Da is indeed loyal to the emperor. These are all known in advance, but many known things will change because of other things without us knowing them."
I was shocked: "Is something wrong with Xi'an Prefecture?"
He nodded softly and said, "If I was not wrong, Xi'an Prefecture is no longer under the control of the imperial guards, or in other words, Lord Gao has been controlled by someone."
"How could this happen? Who did this? Could it be that it was another wonderful door?"
"Of course they."
"Yes, but haven't they been in Shu all the time?"
He shook his head and said, "Their base camp is indeed in Shu, but Sichuan and Shaanxi are originally one. These two places are too close to each other. Many forces in Shu have actually slowly penetrated into Shaanxi. Even-"
Speaking of this, he stopped by himself.
I glanced at him, and his face suddenly turned pale under the fire, and his face became a little complicated, and I immediately knew who he was going to say.
I said softly, "You want to say--she, right?"
“…”
A trace of sadness flashed across his face, and he slowly lowered his head and said "yes".
Although I told him that he remembered her and was still sad for her and could not even let go of some things, I could understand and be relieved by his deep affection, but women are women, and when they really saw it, they were still a little sour.
His former wife, Princess Anguo who died tragically on the wedding night, was Pei Yuanzhen.
This former eldest princess has a close connection with the power of Shu. I guessed at that time that because Zhao Shuyuan became a monk at Huangze Temple, she often visited her. Huangze Temple is located at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and it is very likely that she started to contact people from Shu.
Now, Qinghan's desire to speak has been completely confirmed that my guess is correct.
Miaosanmen and Changmingzong, these forces were not only operated in Shu. Some of them extended their hands to Jiangnan, while others penetrated into Shaanxi.
I shook my head hard, trying to throw that emotion behind me, and then asked, "So do you think that Shaanxi is now controlled by the people from Miaosanmen?"
He shook his head: "Shaanxi is so big, it is impossible to control this place. But you know that there are many powerful and powerful people in Guanlong. Although they have declined in this dynasty, it does not mean that they have no strength at all. They are just waiting for an opportunity. Once they are given such an opportunity, it is not surprising that they have the Miaosanmen take the lead and cause some trouble in Shaanxi. Especially, the emperor's current situation is indeed different from before."
I suddenly became a little panicked: "If this is true, the Gao Daren has been controlled by them, so the person who came to pick up the emperor's commander-"
He glanced at me and nodded a heavy head.
I gasped.
Qinghan said, "I originally wanted to rush to cross the Yellow River before he crossed Tongguan... to control him, but when the people from Miaosanmen took out the matter, he completely stopped trusting me. I was worried that I would follow too quickly, and both sides would inevitably have to start fighting. I could only wait for my men to catch up. After they crossed the river, the people from Miaosanmen gave up on me and left directly."
"them--"
"I think they must have crossed the river now and followed the emperor. In this way, the emperor's whereabouts will be completely controlled by them."
I panicked: "What should we do?"
He looked forward silently. The bonfires on the river beach shone on the vast river surface, and some figures were constantly busy. He said softly: "I just hope that we can catch up with him before he enters Xi'an Prefecture."
At this moment, the hot water prepared for him was also delivered. He originally wanted to wash it on the other side, so I grabbed his hair: "Let's wash it here, I'll wash it for you."
He smiled, and then silently obeyed, slowly soaking his hair covered with yellow mud into hot water. The steam was stained, which slightly relieved the stiffness that had just passed through my body. I also followed him, holding the hot water in my hands and poured it bit by bit on his neck, rubbing the dry sludge down.
While washing, I watched him soak in hot water, the obviously gray hair. After a while, I asked softly: "Qinghan."
"Um?"
"I have something to ask you."
"What?"
