"Staying in the capital for the time being? Are you waiting for him to get married and have children before letting him return to the army?" Xia Luotong was surprised. Thinking about the scene when he saw Chu Junxiu today, it was hard to imagine that he could adapt to the life of the army again. Life, otherwise she wouldn't be so unbelievable when she heard that the latter was a general.
"I don't know about that. When I recalled Mr. Chu Xiaohou, I only heard that the emperor asked him to come back to carry on the family line first. Don't worry about other things." Zhuxuan said, recalling the news that had been circulated before.
"Not in a hurry? Haha." Xia Luotong chuckled, "It seems that Mr. Chu has a lot of troops in his hands, right?"
"I heard that it is true. The Wuning Marquis Mansion started out with military merit, and it has been passed down for several generations. I heard that it is very prestigious in the military."
It seems that Mr. Chu Xiaohou was recalled by the emperor. On the surface, it seemed that he was carrying on the family line, but secretly, it was not that simple.
"Whose hands is the military power held by Wu Ninghoufu now?" Xia Luotong asked curiously.
"This slave doesn't know."
Seeing Zhuxuan shaking her head, Xia Luotong stopped asking further questions. This kind of thing was indeed not something people of their status could understand.
However, because of this incident, she thought of what happened to Prince Lao An and his wife. They also held military power in the West and died in an accident. Now Wu Zechen has also been recalled to the capital.
For an emperor, there is nothing more secure than having military power in hand.
There was too little information in hand right now, and she couldn't figure it out just by thinking about it here. Xia Luotong no longer struggled with herself. After dinner, she rested for a while, and when Manager Zhang came to look for her, they went to Shaoguang Pavilion together.
Entering the main room, Mr. Xu and Mr. Qian greeted Xia Luotong with a smile, while Wu Zechen's expression was indifferent, showing no emotion or anger.
Today is the third treatment. As everyone has already experienced it, Xia Luotong naturally does not need to say any more. Everything is going on step by step.
The acupuncture was still applied first, and then the medicinal bath was taken. However, something unexpected happened during the acupuncture...
The technique of picking poison needles is extremely energy-consuming. Although the toxins in Xia Luotong's body have been relieved to some extent, they have not been eradicated. His body is still weak and he has to spend so much energy to perform it every day. Picking the poisonous needle actually took a huge toll on her.
When the acupuncture was about to end, Xia Luotong suddenly noticed something strange in his body, and his mind was trembling!
This feeling... is going to be poisonous!
She had been poisoned so many times during this period, and she was already familiar with the painful feeling when the poison struck, so she was keenly aware of the first signs!
One of the difficulties in selecting poisonous needles is that they must not be interrupted. The entire set of acupuncture must be performed continuously. If you stop midway, it will cause serious harm to the person being acupuncture!
Absolutely can't stop!
Seeing that the acupuncture technique was about to be completed, Xia Luotong bit her lips to hold back the severe pain surging in her body. Her face suddenly turned pale as snow, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. However, her hand that applied the acupuncture did not move at all. , still proceeding steadily.
As soon as Xia Luotong appeared strange, Wu Zechen, who was lying on the couch, immediately noticed it.
Feeling the sudden disordered breath of the person who applied the needle on his head, he suddenly opened his eyes, but what he saw made his heart skip a beat, as if he had been hit by something, and a strange feeling spread in his eyes. There is no room for anything else.
The woman's face was so pale that it was almost transparent, as if she might faint at any moment, but her star-like eyes were as firm as a rock!
Underneath her seemingly weak appearance, she actually had a tough heart, which made him feel as if he had gotten to know her again.
Suddenly, a trace of purple-black blood flowed from her lips, and his eyes suddenly opened wide!
He remembered that she was also poisoned!
Because she had been so calm all this time, he even ignored the fact that she was also poisoned!
Wu Zechen's expression was so obvious that Mr. Xu and Mr. Qian, who had been staring next to him, immediately noticed something strange. When they saw Wu Zechen lying down and staring closely at Xia Luotong who was giving him acupuncture, they all involuntarily said: Looked over.
"Miss Xia!" Mr. Qian was shocked when he saw Xia Luotong's pale face and the blood dripping from his lips!
Seeing that Mr. Qian wanted to step forward, Mr. Xu quickly stopped him.
"Old Qian, don't go, wait, wait!" Although Mr. Xu said this, his eyes were fixed on Xia Luotong. The nervousness in his eyes was obvious, and he grabbed Qian Laoyi's hand. Sleeve's hands were trembling slightly.
"What are you waiting for! Miss Xia is vomiting blood! And looking at the color of her blood, she must have been poisoned!" Mr. Qian was extremely anxious.
"I know, but now that the poison needle is being used in the middle, it must not be interrupted!" Mr. Xu was also anxious, but he had to endure it, "You didn't see that Miss Xia didn't stop in this situation. Are you insisting on acupuncture? Don't disturb her!"
Qian Laomeng reacted quickly and did not dare to speak anymore for fear of affecting the movements of Xia Luotong's hands, but he was ready to step forward at any time.
At this time, the three people present looked at Xia Luotong nervously. While they were worried about her condition, they also felt more and more admiration.
The pain caused by the poison was immense. Among the three people present, two were doctors and one was a patient who was also poisoned. They could all imagine what Xia Luotong was going through at this time. torture.
But even though she was enduring the pain at this moment, her hand applying the acupuncture did not waver at all, and the concentration in her eyes did not waver in the slightest.
What kind of character is this...
Finally, when the last needle was taken out from Wu Zechen's head, Xia Luotong relaxed and his vision went dark. He could no longer support his body and fell backward softly.
Mr. Xu and Mr. Qian quickly stepped forward to support her, but unexpectedly, a dark shadow flashed in front of their eyes, and someone stepped forward to support her body.
Prince?
Mr. Xu and Mr. Qian did not expect that the person who stepped forward faster than them was actually their own prince!
At this time, Wu Zechen had some black blood beads hanging on her body, so he could only support her with his palms, but the light weight made him frown.
Why is this woman so light?
He held up her delicate body with both hands and gently placed her on the couch on one side.
When he took his hand back, he felt the soft touch disappearing between his palms, and felt a strange sense of loss in his heart.
He frowned slightly, ignored that feeling, turned to Mr. Xu and Mr. Qian and said, "I'd like you to come and show her what's going on."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Xu and Mr. Qian immediately stepped forward. After taking turns to diagnose the pulse, they discussed it for a few words before reporting the results to Wu Zechen.
"Your Majesty, Miss Xia is poisoned!"
Just as Mr. Qian finished speaking, Mr. Xu suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind. He thought that not long ago, Manager Zhang suddenly came to him with a list of medicinal materials. After recalling the medicinal materials on it, he seemed to understand something.
