624 Life and Death 3
After all, isn't it too suspicious that a little palace maid can actually do martial arts? Doesn't it make Murong Bai wonder who sent her as a spy? Therefore, Shen Lian has been letting herself go and not practicing martial arts.
Moreover, these days, she is so busy that she has no time to practice. She also has to avoid being seen. Now, if she wants to help, she can't help, can she? The other party's martial arts is not low, and she can't help. Murong Bai was almost the same, and for a while, neither of them could do anything to the other. If she rushed forward, she would probably only be able to do a disservice.
If Murong Bai was involved and injured, she would go completely in the opposite direction. Therefore, Shen Lian stood aside and hesitated before stepping forward. However, she could not ignore him.
If he loses to the assassin later, won't he be in danger? Otherwise, she will run out of the garden immediately and find the guards to save him. At present, this is the only way that works, so she should run to call the guards over. Well, lest time goes on, he will be injured. Just when Shen Lian was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw the assassin firing some hidden weapons at Murong Bai.
And one of them, a dart with a cold light, went straight to his back. Murong Bai was not prepared for this at all. He kept dealing with other hidden weapons with all his strength. Shen Lian could tell at a glance that this hidden weapon had The blue light was flashing, and it was probably poisonous. No, she had to go there, and she couldn't let him get hit by the dart, otherwise she couldn't imagine the consequences.
So, when Shen Lian's thoughts were changing, she immediately rushed over. By the time she got close, it was already too late to stop her, so she could only use her body to block the poison dart for him.
So, the next moment, the poison dart hit her left shoulder. Sure enough, it was poisonous. Not long after Shen Lian was hit by the dart, she began to stagger. The last thing she saw before she fell down was that Murong Bai was a little surprised. His eyes were looking at her. Then, her vision went dark and she lost consciousness. She didn't know whether Murong Bai defeated the assassin later.
As for Murong Bai, he saw the little palace maid blocking a dart for him, and then slowly fell down. He was slightly surprised and moved, but he didn't expect that she would actually save him, regardless of her own life. She didn't know that this Was the dart poisonous? She would die. However, she still rushed over without hesitation and blocked the dart for him.
The assassin was also shocked for a moment, and then while he was distracted for a moment, he was injured by Murong Bai. After he was injured, he saw the guards coming, and knew that this assassination was bound to fail. Therefore, he In order to save his own life, he quickly retreated. However, the guards were chasing after him.
Watching the assassin leave, Murong Bai slowly approached the little palace maid. He stretched out his hand to brush away the messy hair on her forehead and saw her face clearly. The little girl was pretty and pretty. Why did she save him just now? ?Is it for glory and wealth, or is it really for him? Does she know her identity? Was her rescue an accident or a careful plan?
Thoughts flashed through his mind one after another, but in the end, Murong Bai ordered his chamberlain to take her away with her. He also called the imperial doctor into the palace to see her injuries and detoxify her.
Everything is waiting for her to wake up, and it's not too late to ask again. Maybe she saved him just for him; maybe she doesn't know his true identity. All of this is actually possible, isn't it? Murong Bai also thought that even if she saved him for glory and wealth, he would satisfy her request. After all, the dart was poisonous, and she did block the poisonous dart for him.
Just treat him as such and repay her by giving her some jewels, gold and silver. However, Murong Bai suddenly had an idea in his heart that she didn't save him for these reasons. She saved him because she was him. .
Although this idea was a bit ridiculous, Murong Bai subconsciously hoped that this was the case.
When Shen Lian woke up again and regained consciousness, she only felt the pain on her left shoulder. She also felt weak all over. She didn't know if the poison had been cured. She slowly opened her eyes and looked around. At this time, Shou was There was only a young woman in front of her. Judging from her dress, she seemed to be the medical girl next to the imperial doctor. Did Murong Bai invite the medical girl to look at her injuries?
Realizing that she was awake, the medical woman stood up and walked over. "Girl, how are you feeling? Do you want to eat something?" The medical woman had a beautiful appearance and was quite young. She looked similar to Wanwan. However, this person's temperament was different, and she also had a faint medicinal scent. Shen Lian looked at her for a while before replying.
"I feel like I don't have any strength. What's wrong with me?"
The doctor told her the cause and effect, "Girl, you are so brave, you actually dare to step forward to protect the emperor's dart. This dart is very poisonous. Fortunately, my master has excellent medical skills, otherwise you would have died. .”
It seems that her poison must have been detoxified by the medical woman's master. Otherwise, she might have died of the poison long ago. Listening to the medical woman's relaxed and joyful tone, it should be the same. Shen Lian immediately looked at her with gratitude and said, "Thank you very much, slave. Thank you for saving my life."
"Don't call yourself a slave. I'm just a medical woman, and I'm not much better than you. By the way, my master said that you should take medicine for a few more days. As for the injury, it's not too serious. Just rest for a few days. The weather is good. Anyway, the poison has been cured and your life has been saved. You can just rest and recuperate. This time, if you save the emperor once, you will definitely be rewarded. You will be different from now on."
She saved the emperor once, blocked a poisonous dart for him, and survived the catastrophe. She must have good fortune in the future. After hearing this, Shen Lian slightly raised her lips and smiled at her. "Thank you, sister, for taking care of me. I want to drink." Can I have some water?" She woke up, but she was fine even though she was hungry, but her lips were extremely chapped and she was very thirsty. When the doctor heard this, she immediately agreed with a smile and turned around to get her some water.
Shen Lian spent the next few days recovering from her injuries under the care of her medical sister. When she saw Murong Bai again, it was already five days later and her injuries had basically healed. It was his chamberlain who summoned her. , Shen Lian immediately cleaned up, and then went to see Murong Bai. The clothes she was wearing were brought here by the chamberlain.
As soon as she touched the material, she knew that the clothes were definitely good. The soft feeling made Shen Lian feel so comfortable when she wore them. This was the first time in this world that she had worn such good clothes.
When she saw Murong Bai, she immediately knelt down and said hello to him. "Slave, please see your majesty. May your majesty be safe."
Murong Bai looked at the way she came just now and seemed to be in good health. Now, there were only him, the chamberlain, and this little girl in the palace. Murong Bai looked at her with a smile and said, "You saved my life." , tell me, I can satisfy you with whatever reward you want."
Shen Lian continued to kneel, not daring to be disrespectful or raising her head to look at him. She lowered her head and just replied softly, "Slave... I am bold. I have a request. I hope your majesty will agree to it." ." Hearing that she really had something to ask for, a flash of disappointment flashed across Murong Bai's eyes, and it passed in an instant. However, he was a little surprised. She didn't even show humility and just put it forward directly, saying that she had a request.
It can be considered honest, and it is much better than those hypocritical people. On the surface, those people humbly say that they have nothing to ask for; but in their hearts, they have long been plotting against him, hoping for rich rewards and so on. This was considered a confession. Murong Bai thought about it and his expression softened a little. As long as her request was not excessive, he agreed to her.
Shen Lian lowered her head and did not see the change in the expression on his face at this moment, so she still spoke carefully. "I would like to beg the emperor to agree. I will transfer my servant to you to serve you. I will be satisfied."
"Why do you want to be transferred to me to serve you? In this palace, it is not difficult to find some relaxed positions with lots of money. Why do you insist on coming to me?" Murong Bai heard this request and stood there. Observing the changes in her expression and eyes. Could it be that she had other purposes? Otherwise, why not want other rewards and just come to serve him.
Shen Lian noticed that there was a gaze staring at her, and knew that it must be Murong Bai. He was suspicious by nature and had difficulty trusting people. At this moment, he must be suspicious of her. "Replying to your majesty, I have heard from my mama before. As I said, working by your Majesty’s side will not only provide you with much better food and clothing. You will also receive rewards from time to time and you can save a lot of money. Also, the maids and sisters who are by your side are much more majestic than other maids.”
She paused for a moment, and then said, "So, I want to be transferred to your Majesty to serve you. Please grant your request." Is that just for this? Murong Bai was a little surprised, but the chamberlain on the side thought that this The little girl is quite smart. If she were to be rewarded with gold and silver, or be awarded some titles, people would inevitably think that she was too worldly.
Moreover, it would make people think that her vision is quite high. However, she does not ask for this, as long as she can be transferred to serve His Majesty. Then once she serves in front of the Emperor, she will definitely be able to show her face in front of others. If I can get His Majesty's favor in the future, I might be able to fly on a branch and become a phoenix.
No, becoming an empress, wouldn't she be much better off than having those things? Even if she doesn't have such a good life, His Majesty will definitely not treat her lightly because he cares about the grace of saving her life. When the time comes, it would be a good thing to give her to some high-ranking officials and nobles, even as a concubine. In short, she will definitely not suffer a loss if she can serve His Majesty.
His Majesty had some doubts and tests about her request. As for her, she was not ignored. On the contrary, her words clearly expressed her feelings, and she did not show any signs of guilt.
This little girl may not be simple. Her fate in the future may not be easy to predict. At this moment, the chamberlain has decided to help her when necessary. Then in the future, she will not forget his kindness. .Murong Bai was still skeptical about her remarks. She wanted to be by his side, so he would use her plan.
Put her under your nose and see what she wants and what her purpose is. If she dares to plot against him, Murong Bai's smile has a hint of evil. She will definitely regret it. At this moment, as she said
