There is a rumor circulating in Chang'an City that the champion Hou Xiaorui is dying.
Jie Li spent a lot of money to hire a killer to intercept and kill Xiao Rui. He first kidnapped Princess Xiangcheng and Princess Changle as hostages, then lured Xiao Rui out and intercepted him halfway. In the end, the champion was outnumbered and was brought back dying of poison. It is said that When he was carried to Xiaojiazhuang, all the blood in his body was almost drained.
Xiao Rui's opponents were happy. This scourge was finally dead. If they had known that buying a murderer to kill someone was so effective, why would they have waited until Jieli came up with a price? I really didn't expect Jie Li to be so cruel, even capable of kidnapping a princess.
Thinking about it, in the whole world, the only one who dares to say that he is not afraid of the revenge of the Tang Dynasty is Jie Li from the northern grasslands.
Some people are happy and some are worried. Yuchi Jingde brought back a batch of corpses and the hard crossbows in the army as evidence. The inner ghosts are connected with the foreign enemies. The ironclad evidence is as solid as a mountain. Emperor Li Er was ruthless and directly ordered to kill a large area of blood. The whole city of Chang'an was once again No one dared to talk about Xiao Rui.
And is Xiao Rui really dead?
Of course this was a rumor spread deliberately. Otherwise, how could we arouse the anger of the people and kill a group of traitorous officials quickly?
However, even if he is not dead, Xiao Rui's situation is not optimistic. The stab wounds all over his body are still there, but he has a good physical foundation and can recover. The last thing that kills is the final poisoning.
Doctor Sun and Daozhang Ge worked together to rescue him, but they could only save his life and could not completely eliminate the poison.
And this poison has become a stumbling block that prevents Xiao Rui from recovering his vitality. With this poison, it will be difficult for Xiao Rui to recover the lost energy and blood. Because this poison is very strange, it seems to have intelligence, it can feed on human body nutrients, and it can strengthen the body several times.
This is also the strange thing about this poison. As long as Xiao Rui takes supplements, part of the nutrients will be taken away by the poison. Then when the poison becomes stronger, it will increase the damage to the body's functions.
Daochang Ge said in a deep voice: "This doesn't look like poison, but it's almost the same as the Gu technique in Southern Xinjiang."
Doctor Sun held the dagger and sighed: "But the facts are right in front of us. It is indeed poison."
Taoist priest Ge nodded and said: "Fortunately, Junior Master Xiao's nephew Ji Ren Tianxiang always has a body-protecting Qi in his heart, otherwise he would have died a long time ago."
"Yes, this child has been taught by a stranger, and he has a strange internal skill that can protect the body, fight against enemies, and be both offensive and defensive. If he can wake up, he may be able to practice it on his own, strengthen this true energy, and conquer this in the future. Poison." Taoist priest Sun analyzed.
Xiao Yu asked with concern: "Two Taoist priests, how long will it take for Rui'er to wake up?"
They both shook their heads, "I don't know. He lost too much blood and fell into a coma for self-protection. When his body has enough energy, he can wake up when he wants."
Nodding, Xiao Yu said: "Since there is nothing going on here, just leave Xiao Yu to take care of it. I also need to trouble the two Taoist priests to go to the palace. Princess Xiangcheng and Princess Changle were trapped for two days, and the water and rice were not taken in. The physical condition may be..."
Daochang Ge slapped his forehead, "Oh, my precious disciple!"
Before Xiao Yu could finish speaking, he rushed out first.
Taoist priest Sun glanced at the calm Xiao Rui and said seriously: "Don't worry, the old Taoist will try his best to protect Princess Xiangcheng and the unborn baby."
After seeing the two of them off, Xiao Yu turned around and closed the door, sitting quietly next to Xiao Rui alone, as if he had aged several years. Patiently helping his son wash up and wipe off the dust and blood stains on his face, Xiao Yu shed tears as he was busy: "Son, you are only nineteen years old and have just been crowned... It's all because of your father's incompetence. As the prime minister, you can't... You haven't made any achievements yet, but you have to be the first to rush into the front line in state affairs and family affairs, alas..."
"If dad hadn't been in a daze for a moment and fell into the trap of Buddhism, you wouldn't have destroyed Buddhism and provoked hatred, and today's disaster would have been avoided."
"You must hold on. Xiao Lan'er opened his eyes. He is exactly the same as when you were a child. If something happens to you, the child will..."
…
After chatting with him for a whole hour, Xiao Yu personally helped his son wipe his body clean inside and out. He was so tired that he lay on the bedside of his son and fell asleep soundly.
Xiao Rui's aunt, Queen Xiao, has been accompanying Xiao Rui's mother, the Dugu family, for fear that the sister-in-law would not be able to bear the blow.
But these people were all from well-known families and had seen the world. After seeing her comatose son, Dugu was very calm and insisted on accompanying her two daughters-in-law, especially Li Shengnan who was about to give birth. She was afraid that she would die because of worries about Xiao Rui. Something went wrong.
Empress Xiao, the aunt, sighed and said, "This kid Rui'er, the whole family is worried about you, so don't let anything happen to you."
In the palace, Li Er was pacing back and forth at the entrance of the Zhengzheng Hall, constantly talking about how it was going, how it was going...
It wasn't little Changle who was in trouble, but Xiangcheng who was pregnant. She hadn't had any water or rice for two days, and her belly was so big that even adults could bear it, but the baby in her belly was also in danger.
Lao Gao, the chamberlain, persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the princess will be fine."
"Send someone to Xiaojiazhuang to inquire again. They must know Xiao Rui's situation! By the way, tell Wei Zheng that I am going to kill someone this time. If he dares to guarantee anyone, I will kill him first!" Li Er was angry. Almost roaring.
There were still two brushes in Tai Hospital. Xiangcheng and the fetus were saved. Xiao Rui's condition was not very good. It was the news brought by Sun Simiao and Li Er. After thinking for a long time, Li Er decided to spread the news that Xiao Rui was not alive. , became a living dead.
Of course, it's not to curse the son-in-law, but to let him take a good vacation and recuperate, and move from the light to the dark. In the past, it was too conspicuous, and the big tree attracts the wind, which is why it is causing today's disaster.
If you can wake up in the future, you can develop it secretly and wait until the time comes. It may be a trump card in the future.
Seven days later, in the Xiaojiazhuang, Xiao Changle sat peacefully on Xiao Rui's bedside and sang children's songs, which she did every day. Ever since I met Xiao Rui, the quiet and well-behaved Changle has turned into a cheerful elf, sometimes noisy like a crazy girl and giving people a headache.
But after experiencing this incident, it was a big blow to her. She seemed to have returned to her original peaceful self and suddenly became stable.
When Daochang Ge taught her medicine, she was very serious and even proposed to practice martial arts.
Unfortunately, she didn't have the skills to practice martial arts, so Daozhang Ge only taught her some basic health-preserving breathing techniques.
"Sister Changle, if it were me, I would definitely wake up immediately if I heard your beautiful singing voice." Li Shengnan walked in with a big belly.
Xiao Changle rushed forward in grievance, hugged Li Shengnan and cried: "Sister Shengnan, but my brother-in-law has been listening to me singing for several days, why doesn't he wake up? Ugh..."
Hearing this, Li Shengnan felt sad, yes, could my husband be...
Ouch...
"Ah? Sister Shengnan, what's wrong with you? Does your stomach hurt? Are you about to give birth to a baby? I'll call someone!"
Little Changle is starting to become sensible. After seeing Wei Yanran give birth to a child last time, she is no longer the cute little cute girl she used to be. Especially since she started studying medicine, she knows more than ordinary children.
Li Shengnan held on to the threshold, looked back reluctantly at Xiao Rui lying on the bed, squeezed out a smile, and said softly: "Husband, don't worry, I will definitely give birth to our child smoothly."
After she turned around and left, she didn't see Xiao Rui's fingers moving slightly, and the expression on his face was tangled, as if he was suffering from great pain and struggle.
