Still waiting for Zhaoyang

Chapter 34
Li Ji raised his eyes to notice her footsteps, and made a silent gesture.

Shang Rui was lying on the bed with his clothes slightly open, his chest exposed, and silver needles were pierced at the Yunmen and Zhongfu points under the collarbone.After a stick of incense was half burned, Li Ji twirled the silver needles on Shang Rui's tiger's mouth and chest several times respectively.

The little drug boy was holding the plate on which the silver needles were placed, and remained motionless.

Xia Yue didn't know why she was called here?

She glanced at Minglian.Minglian lowered his face and didn't speak.

She was a little afraid of Li Ji, he saved her life, and now she is still under the fence, so she had to obediently stand by and wait.

Suddenly, the person on the bed murmured.

Xia Yue couldn't help widening her eyes when she heard the words.

Then, he repeated it again in a murmur, those two words were clearly "Xiayue".

The room was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling on the ground. If she could pretend not to understand it the first time, it was clear the second time.

Xia Yue's face suddenly turned red into a persimmon, and only then did she understand what Minglian meant by talking about her just now, and immediately wished she could pounce on him and cover his mouth.

When this man was really unconscious, he still wanted to fight her.When she was guarding him, he called "Mother".Others were guarding him, so he wanted to call "Xia Yue".

After the stick of incense burned out, Li Ji pulled out the needle, led the people out of the house, and guarded the decoction in person.

Ming Lian was blunt, and said: "Ms. Min, I invited you here on my own, and our young master didn't know about it. He is so sick and misses you, so I just want you to stay here for a while. Will you feel better in your heart?" He was originally a young boy with beautiful facial features, but at this moment, his eyes seemed to be shedding tears at any time, begging her, which made people feel even more unbearable.

Xia Yue's mouth was hard and her heart was soft, so she could only answer: "Then what else do I need?"

Ming quickly replied: "No, no, you can just sit here. If the young master wakes up and sees Miss Min, most of the illness will be cured."

So, Xia Yue sat in front of the bed on the stool Li Ji had just used, feeling a little helpless.

After a while, her name escaped from his mouth again.

After listening to it a few times, she felt calm, thinking that maybe she was by his side all the time during the day, thinking day by day and dreaming at night.

Minglian wet the veil and applied it to his forehead.

"Young master, have you ever been sick like this before?" Xia Yue was a little sleepy, and couldn't help but want to gossip.

"Very little." Ming Lian replied.

Xia Yue thought for a while and then asked, "Why does he know Mr. Li so well?"

Minglian sensed that Xia Yue was trying to trick him, so he replied sadly: "My lord doesn't like us making noise, so you better stop asking."

After being seen through her intentions, she had no choice but to give up.

No one spoke, and she was too embarrassed to sleep, so she had to study other things.

She roughly memorized the acupuncture points that Li Ji had pierced for him just now.It was the first time she saw the fever-reducing heat-dispelling and cold-dispelling medicines, and she actually chose Cloud Gate and Zhongfu.

"Spiritual Moxibustion" states, "If the disease is shallow and the needle is deep, the internal injury will hurt the body. If the disease is deep and the needle is shallow, the disease gas will not be vented. If the disease is small and the needle is large, if the gas vents too much, the disease will cause harm."

Acupuncture at the same acupoint is different for different diseases, and the techniques of lifting, inserting and twisting are different. Different doctors have different techniques for acupuncturing and selecting acupoints, even for male and female patients.

Xia Yue was very curious about Li Ji's medical skills. Before that, she had only seen Li Ji administering needles to herself, but now she finally had a second patient.

She couldn't help but want to take a closer look at the needles on Shang Rui's body.However, no matter how absurd she was, she couldn't do such a thing as peeling off a man's shirt to look at his chest. She sighed a little, and could only hold his hand, thinking about the needle's eye in the tiger's mouth.

After studying back and forth several times, she realized that his hands were not cold at all, but warm. She then touched the back of his neck, and the temperature also calmed down, almost no different from ordinary people.The skin on the hands also began to have some moisture.

Xia Yue turned her head and said to Ming Lian: "You have to ask for a set of clean clothes and quilt, your son is about to sweat."

She had just finished speaking, and before she could turn her head, she felt that the hand she was holding suddenly gained strength, and it turned to hold her, and then pulled her violently.

She was caught off guard for a moment, staggered and leaned towards the bed, and landed right on his chest.

The man on the bed looked down at Xia Yue on his chest, moved his lips, and said, "Aren't you going to be a nun? How can the six roots be so unclean? You were going to swallow my hands alive just now?"

His voice is still hoarse, several words in such a long sentence are almost silent, and he is a little out of breath when he speaks, and there are two bluish-gray spots under his eyes, even so, it still does not prevent him from appearing domineering .

Xia Yue stood up depressed, took a few steps back and said to Minglian: "Your young master is awake now, you're done, then I'll take my leave." After speaking, she left in a hurry.

Shang Rui took a few sips of water and asked, "Why is she here?"

Minglian replied anxiously: "Minglian deserves to die, he invited Miss Min to visit the emperor on his own initiative."

Shang Rui slowly turned the cup in his hand half a circle: "You are getting more and more courageous, and you dare to take care of my affairs."

Minglian's face changed color, and he knelt down on his knees with a "plop", but he didn't dare to defend himself.

Shang Rui looked at him, knowing that there must be something strange, so he asked: "What did I say when I fell asleep?"

Ming Lian replied: "The emperor has been calling Miss Min's name."

Shang Rui listened calmly, and said: "You change my clothes first, and then go and call Yao Chuang."

After he changed into his coat, Minglian invited Yao Chuang who was waiting at the door to come in.

Yao Chuang reported everything he saw and heard, including how Xia Yue took out the hairpin in the private room to kill him after he fell asleep, and how he led the horse to escape but went back and sent him back to Li. government.

Shang Rui looked down at the needle hole in his hand, lowered his eyes quietly, and did not comment a word after listening to Yao Chuang's words.A pair of eyes are like an ancient well, calm on the surface but unpredictable in depth.

After a while, Li Ji came in with the freshly boiled medicine, and seeing Shang Rui sitting on the bed wearing only a coat, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't catch a cold." Then he served Shang Rui to drink the medicine and let him lie down.

Before the stick of incense burned out, his clothes were soaked with sweat again, so Ming Lian poured warm water to wipe his body, and then changed his clothes.

After tossing around, he lay on the bed and closed his eyes, not moving for a while.

Everyone thought he was asleep, so they didn't dare to make any noise, they all retreated, leaving Ming Lian alone.

Genglou walked drop by drop, and after an unknown amount of time, he suddenly clenched his fists and thumped the bed under him vigorously.

"Boom" sound.

Minglian was so frightened by the noise that he fell asleep instantly, fearing that he was being haunted by a nightmare, so he called out slightly: "Your Majesty." He approached lightly, ready to lift the curtain to have a look.

Unexpectedly, Shang Rui sat up suddenly, opened the curtain, and was about to get out of bed.

Ming Lian almost bumped into his head, and hurriedly backed up and said: "Damn this servant, you startled the holy car."

Shang Rui ignored him and stood up without even wearing shoes.

Ming Lian was stunned, not knowing what Shang Rui was going to do, but seeing Shang Rui with a sullen expression on his face, he strode out of the inner room, pushed the door open and walked out.

Minglian panicked, and hurriedly chased him out. After walking a few steps, he turned back and hurriedly took his boots and coat, and hugged them in his arms in a panic.

Shang Rui walked quickly down the corridor, and Ming Lian trotted after him.

Minglian didn't dare to call him, this is not the Kangning Palace, he was afraid of disturbing other people in Li's residence, and he didn't dare to obstruct him, after serving the emperor for so long, he had never seen such a battle.

Shang Rui walked out of Chaoshou veranda, went down the steps, and walked across the courtyard.

He had a high fever for a day, the fever had just subsided, and he hadn't eaten a grain of rice, and now he was furiously crossing half of Li's residence, his feet were already a little vain.Minglian hurried up and hugged his knees: "Master, it's cold on the ground, you put on your boots first."

Shang Rui didn't even look at him, and said heavily, "Get out." Then he shook off him, and continued to walk towards "Taoyeju" where Xia Yue lived behind Li's residence.

At this time, Yao Chuang, who had never dared to leave, also followed.

Shang Rui walked straight into the courtyard of Taoyeju, and walked to the door of the wing room.He didn't even wear shoes, he only wore a thin coat, and he was sweating profusely all over in this cold night.At this moment, he was like a beast that had been wounded by a hunter in its weakest and deadliest place. His mind was blank, and the anger and arrogance in his chest almost ignited everything close to him. Without any hesitation, he raised his leg viciously. He kicked the door open, bypassed the screen, and went straight to the inner room.

Xia Yue didn't turn off the lights when she was sleeping before, so he found her easily.

Xia Yue in her dream was suddenly awakened by the noise, and before she could regain her senses, she found a shadow jumping over the gauze curtain and directly onto her bed.

In an instant, she screamed in terror.

He Xiang, who was resting outside, was frightened by the movement, and heard Xia Yue's cry and rushed over.He Xiang threw herself on Shang Rui, trying to pull him away from Xia Yue.With a flick of Shang Rui's arm, he pushed her away several steps and fell to the ground.He Xiang didn't care about the pain, she panicked and shouted for someone to come, and wanted to go forward again.

Minglian followed into the house, but he didn't dare to look up into the tent.

Shang Rui said: "Cover her mouth and drag her out."

Minglian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but he had to do as Shang Rui said.

Moments later, the lotus fragrance disappeared with no sound.

At this moment, Shang Rui's figure was reflected in the swaying candlelight. He was riding on her body, looking down at her from a height, his icy eyes were full of anger.

Xia Yue was so frightened that her face turned pale, her heart was filled with fear, but she bit her lip and said firmly, "Get out!"

Shang Rui didn't talk nonsense to her, and instead smiled angrily, he stretched out his hand and clamped her chin with the jaws of the tiger. He squeezed his thumb and index finger together, as if he wanted to crush her bones, and with the other hand, he took off her skirt.

Xia Yue tried hard to push his hand away.

If the two of them had fought alone in the past, he could have dealt with her with just a few fingers.It's just that he is still recovering from a serious illness, and his hands and feet are soft.She fought desperately, but actually broke free.

Unexpectedly, Shang Rui took a gamble and held her tightly again.

Xia Yue couldn't move, she could only stare at him, hating herself for not killing him with a knife during the day.

Naturally, Shang Rui could guess what she was thinking, with cold eyes and a deliberate sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Instead of having the energy to regret it, it's better to work harder. I like our current tone. The more stubborn you are, the more I like it."

Hearing these words, Xia Yue's whole body began to tremble, her teeth chattered up and down, and then she opened her mouth to bite her own tongue.His fingers pinched her chin, and Xia Yue just felt it when he noticed it.

"If you dare to kill yourself by biting your tongue, I'll cut off that girl's flesh and bury it with you piece by piece." His voice was still as hoarse as before, and his tone was low and deep, but he said the most vicious words in the world.

After a while, she suppressed her trembling and uttered two words: "How dare you!"

Shang Rui sneered and said with a mocking look, "Dare or not, you don't just say it with one mouth." After speaking, he let go of her chin, and reached out and touched her neck.

His hands were warm, completely different from the cold hands she held twice just now, but at this moment, they were cutting her blood like sharp blades.She felt that the gap in her heart was sealed tightly again.

With other movements, he naturally loosened his grip on her hands.

One of Xia Yue's hands was free, and hurriedly touched under the pillow, and when she pinched the hairpin in her hand, she remembered that the hairpin rod had already been cut by the shopkeeper in order to collect money during the day, how could she use it to protect herself.

Her actions did not escape his attention.

Following her movements, Shang Rui snatched the remnant hairpin from under the pillow, and sneered, "Where do you want to stab me this time, the neck or the chest?"

The golden petals were originally delicate and soft, he squeezed his fingers together, pulled the hairpin head in his hand, and squeezed hard, it lost its original shape.

He threw it hard on the ground.

After such a twists and turns, his anger deepened, and he pressed her hands on both sides, and forcibly separated her legs with his knees.

He was extremely reckless and frivolous in his whole life, never had he been abandoned like this by others.

She was dying, so he traveled hundreds of miles at night to find medicine for her.

He broke her hands because of his impatience, and he walked on the snow with her on his back.

He was afraid of hurting her heart, and he didn't even dare to hurt Wei Ranyu in the slightest.

However, she didn't even look at him directly, just like the hairpin she gave him back then, trampling his heart in the mud.Even, when he saw her depressed, he took her to see the scenery that he had hidden in his heart for many years, but she wanted to take the opportunity to kill him.

The anger in his chest was so hot that he couldn't control it, but his brows were smiling, and his lips pressed against her face: "If you kill me, how can I make you happy in a while?" His lips were as pale as paper at the moment, dry from a high fever The raised skin scraped the skin of her face with the movement of his lips when he spoke.

Xia Yue was startled and frightened. The past reappeared like a nightmare. The words and actions of Wang Gan and his party by the Jinluo Lake overlapped with the scene at this moment, and despair rushed towards her overwhelmingly.

At this moment, Shang Rui didn't even want to give her a kiss, and directly reached out to pull the belt of her lower body, which had nothing to do with lust, but just to vent her anger.

But he didn't want the whole body of the person under him to loosen, the strength that had been desperately resisting him disappeared, and his limbs became stiff and motionless.

He was suddenly at a loss, and couldn't help raising his head to take a look.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yue's face showed a gray and defeated color under the dim candlelight, her whole body was lifeless, and her eyes lost their brilliance.

He was slightly taken aback, and didn't continue for a while.

She said calmly and coldly: "Whatever you want to do, hurry up, anyway, just bear with it."

She added: "If there must be one time in this life, you are better than passers-by, at least your face is passable."

After finishing speaking, she took her hand away from him, stretched herself to her waist, and went to untie the tie on the side of her shirt.The ties undid easily.

He leaned on his elbow and watched with cold eyes.

The bellyband of the middle coat was exposed, and the pink background was embroidered with white magnolia flowers. The atmosphere that should have been beautiful and beautiful was now completely cold and decisive.

She raised her hands behind her neck again to untie her bellyband.

But he stopped her.

She simply gave up on untying the tie, but directly pulled the fabric on her chest rudely. He clasped her hand to prevent her from moving.

She glanced at him: "Young master, do you really think that the woman I send to the door is not as good as the one that comes by force? That's good." She put her hand on his chest, "What do you like me to do?"

At this time, the wick in the oil lamp on the table slowly sank into the oil, and the light in the tent became dimmer and darker, until finally, there was no light in the room.

In the darkness, only his and her breathing could be heard.

The doors and windows were closed tightly, there was neither stars, moon nor voice outside, it was strangely quiet.

Suddenly, she felt light on her body, and he actually left her body, turned around and got off the bed.

His figure swayed slightly, his feet seemed to be stepping on cotton, and he gritted his teeth and almost exhausted all his strength to stand still.I saw him standing in front of the bed and staring at her through the darkness. After a while, he sneered and squeezed out a sentence: "You won. Yu Zhaoyang, you won."

After saying this, he turned around abruptly and swept all the tea set and candlesticks on the table to the ground, smashing them to pieces.

Later, Shang Rui couldn't remember how he returned to his room, but felt that he fell asleep in a daze until the evening of the second day.

He changed clothes, drank porridge, and took medicine in silence. His energy improved a lot, and his eyes became warmer: "How is that person in Taoyeju?"

Ming Lian hesitated to choose a more pleasing word, and replied: "The servant girl took the initiative to let the servant girl go back, but the servant girl said that Miss Min refused to eat no matter how much she persuaded her, she has been hungry for a whole day."

"Hunger strike and want to die?" He sneered.

At this time, Li Ji next to him bowed again to ask for his pulse.

Shang Rui had a pale face, and said to Ming Lian: "Go and tell her, if she wants to die, don't forget what I said last night." He looked at Li Ji again, "You tell Min Xiayue later, you Although you can't treat her relative's illness with your own hands, you can teach her and ask her to learn from you from tomorrow."

Li Ji said: "To treat a disease is to see, hear, and ask. I have never seen anyone. How can I cure her and how can I teach her?"

Shang Rui said coldly: "That's your business."
