Chapter 75
Jiang Chuchang went back to the mansion, sat on the stone bench in the courtyard angrily, with a gloomy face, and said in a muffled voice: "Today's humiliation will be returned a hundredfold."
The counselor Fang Shu who was following him raised his eyelids and said unhurriedly: "I just got the news that Shen Zihe led the troops of the [-]st, [-]nd and [-]rd battalions out of Beijing to quell the chaos of the month. Yes, it's a good thing."
"Hmph, a barbarian like Zhuyue moves very quickly." Hearing what he said, Jiang Chuchang calmed down his anger a little: "Why hasn't my father entered the capital yet?"
"The old prince sent a message, and he will arrive tonight at the latest. Don't worry, the little prince, you have already set foot in this golden palace."
Fang Shu sat down leisurely: "It's just that Lu Yuanzhi hasn't moved in the past few days, the prince still needs to be cautious."
"It's okay, sir, you're worrying too much. Lu Yuan is extremely wretched and filthy. He deceived the king before and pretended to assassinate him. Now he probably didn't expect the little emperor to be like this. He surrendered to the wrong person. Now that the general trend is changing, he must have taken care of it." I ran away early." Jiang Chuchang couldn't help but sneered when he mentioned Lu Yuanzhi.
Fang Shu nodded, it's not like Lu Yuanzhi hasn't done such despicable things before.
At night, unlike last night's violent storm, today's weather is very good, the sky is full of stars, even the moon is as full and bright as a jade plate, and the moonlight is soothingly shining down, illuminating the courtyard extremely brightly.
It's rare that the Gu worms in Lu Yuanzhi's body stopped especially today, and after a while of pain in the evening, he didn't bother anymore.
After staying in the room for a long time, it was inevitable that he would get bored, so he pestered Bai Shuci for a long time before he got permission to sit outside to get some fresh air.
Lu Yuanzhi is sitting quietly in the middle of the courtyard at the moment. There are many flowers and plants planted in the flower garden in front of him. Lu Yuanzhi can't name them, but he knows that they are colorful and beautiful. When they are in full bloom, the night wind blows and there is a refreshing fragrance. It withered, and now, after the heavy rain and wind last night, there are only sparse rhizomes left, withered and yellow, like sticking branches, completely lifeless.
His eyes have been aching for the past two days, and he has been blind from time to time, but after drinking the decoction boiled by Bai Shuci, he has recovered a lot, and he can still see things in front of him clearly, even if they are a little blurred
I have to say that thanks to Bai Shuci's help these few days, if it wasn't for him, I really don't know what to do.
"Lu Yuanzhi, it's time to go back."
Bai Shuci came over with a cup of hot tea in his hand, and saw Lu Yuanzhi sitting there motionless, thinking that he was probably thinking wildly again, and opened his mouth to bring back his thoughts.
I can't blame Bai Shuci for thinking of him so much. A few days ago, Lu Yuanzhi wrote a letter and sealed it to himself mysteriously, saying that if he was gone after Jiang Yi was relieved, he would send the letter to Jiang Yi. At that time, Bai Shuci knew that Lu Yuanzhi was planning for the worst, even the suicide note was written in advance.
Lu Yuanzhi shook his head: "The room is stuffy, just let me stay outside for a while."
Bai Shuci walked over, put the teacup on the stone table, and sat down next to Lu Yuanzhi: "I said earlier that I will protect you, so you don't need to worry too much."
Hearing his words, Lu Yuanzhi knew that he was probably worried about his overthinking, so he couldn't help being very grateful: "Well, I believe you."
Bai Shuci didn't speak any more, took the teacup to his lips and blew gently, then took a sip.
Lu Yuanzhi continued: "Shen Zihe came last night? He wants to take you away?"
The sound of crickets came from my ears. I don't know if they are hiding in the corner of the wall or in the flower garden in front of me.
But Bai Shuci still didn't say a word, and Lu Yuanzhi didn't mind at all, and continued on his own: "Zhuyue took the initiative to go to war at this time, he must be in collusion with Jiang Chuchang, wanting to disperse troops due to internal and external troubles. It's just that the turmoil in the court, Shen Zihe probably doesn't have many soldiers, so it's going to be a lot of bad luck to go this time."
"The Prime Minister is worrying too much. The little general is famous and invincible." Although Bai Shuci said so, there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, full of resentment towards Shen Zihe.
"Two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and we can't guarantee whether there are rebels in the army. He can fight, but he can't be sure when he looks at people." Lu Yuanzhi saw that Bai Shuci's face was slightly moved, and he was about to say something, when he felt his limbs tremble. Numb, and then his eyes went black, and he couldn't see anything.
Sensing his strangeness, Bai Shuci frantically supported him, held his hand to check his pulse, his complexion gradually became ugly: "The Gu worm can be taken."
The meaning of pain gradually concentrated from the original limbs to the trunk, Lu Yuanzhi covered his heart, gasping for breath: "Then... hurry up...."
"it is good."
Bai Shuci helped him into the house, placed Lu Yuanzhi on the couch, and quickly went to get the copper pot and spices he had prepared.
He lit the spices in the incense burner, wisps of green smoke wafted out of the burner, and a strange fragrance spread out. Lu Yuanzhi smelled the smell, only to feel that the pain in his body was getting worse, and he gritted his teeth over and over again.
Bai Shuci put the incense burner away, walked quickly, took out the dagger hanging by the bed, swallowed subconsciously, walked to the candlestick, put the dagger on the candle flame and roasted it for a while: "Now, hold on a little longer."
Bai Shuci walked to the bedside with a dagger and a copper pot, and quickly tore open the skirt of Lu Yuanzhi's clothes. When he saw the red plum on his chest, his expression froze. How could such a lowly thing appear on his chest? body?But he didn't care about these at the moment, he put his hand on Lu Yuanzhi's chest, looking for the location of the Gu worm.
Like a dragon wandering around in his body, Lu Yuanzhi could clearly feel that, stimulated by the spice, the Gu worms began to agitate and slammed into his body indiscriminately.
Lu Yuanzhi tightly grasped the quilt under his body, turned his face inward, his eyes were red because of the pain, and then tears rolled down his cheeks, soaking a large area.
He wanted to scream hysterically, but he didn't know if Jiang Chuchang had sent eyeliners here to investigate, and he absolutely couldn't let them know, so he wanted to crush all the pain and swallow it.
After searching for the location of the Gu worm, Bai Shuci breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Lu Yuanzhi's right hand, and quickly slashed his wrist with a dagger. It was very light and did not hurt the veins, but the flesh and blood burst open. Outflowing, a large area of bright red was printed on the bedding, alluring and dazzling.
Lu Yuanzhi closed his eyes tightly and took a deep breath. All the strength in his body seemed to be pulled out of his body with Bai Shuci's slash.
Holding the copper pot, Bai Shuci carefully looked at the Gu worm that was slowly surging out of Lu Yuanzhi's arm. As soon as it poked its head, Bai Shuci quickly pinched it and stuffed it into the copper pot to seal the mouth.
The big stone hanging over his heart fell to the ground immediately, Bai Shuci wiped the sweat from his forehead, put down the copper pot, applied medicine to Lu Yuanzhi's wound, and wrapped it with a white cloth: "It's done."
Lu Yuanzhi was weak all over, his eyes gradually became clear, and he hummed feebly. Suddenly, he thought of something, and turned his face away, "I heard...today, Jiang Chuchang...led troops into...the palace, he is so...presumptuous , it must be...the old prince's army is coming soon, tomorrow...I'm afraid he will...invade the palace, please...you hurry up and enter the palace now, and help him...to detoxify."
He held Bai Shuci's hand with his blood-stained hand, his face was serious, Bai Shuci knew that he couldn't delay, and stood up holding the copper pot: "It's up to you."
After finishing speaking, Bai Shuci walked out of the side courtyard quickly, called Ji'an to prepare the sedan chair in the front hall, and then left for the palace in the sedan chair.
A few black shadows outside the mansion followed closely behind, and followed his sedan chair.
