"Your Majesty, the Beiliang camp accidentally caught fire!"
The Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet was interrupted by the emergency call of a dragon guard. The entire banquet venue was instantly quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.
The Dragon Guard has the privilege of disclosing urgent reports in front of Yan Xiu at any time and on any occasion without asking for instructions.
Alhom stood up first, lifted the table with his knife, and ran back to the camp.
Yan Xiu's face sank when he heard this: "What are you doing standing still? I can call the wind and rain to extinguish the fire. Can't you do it?"
He wanted to see for himself who dared to set fire under his nose.
The king was angry, and the people of Qin did not dare to continue playing around. They all left the table and followed him.
When Yan Xiu rode outside the Beiliang camp, the fire was already under control.
Fortunately, the fire did not affect the camps of other countries coming to North Korea, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. After all, one Beiliang is enough to cause a headache.
"Your Majesty, King Xiang has taken the lead in putting out the fire. We are currently counting the number of people in the Beiliang camp."
Yan Xiu didn't care to listen to what his men said. He only saw Zhu Sijia who was held in Yan Xing's arms.
Yan Xing was seen kneeling on the ground, holding Zhu Sijia in his arms, taking a small pot and pouring something into her mouth.
Zhu Sijia, who should not be here at all, is lying unconscious in the arms of her ex-fiancé, so intimate.
This scene made the people of Great Qin who followed Yan Xiu dumbfounded. There were even bold ladies who frequently cast complicated glances at Yan Xiu.
"Prince Xiang won't give me a reasonable explanation?" Yan Xiu walked up to the two of them and knelt down. His tone was cold and cold, and he used a volume that only he and Yan Xing could hear, severely shocking Yan Xing.
Before Yan Xing could answer him, he felt his hands were empty, and Yan Xiu took Zhu Sijia back into his arms.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Yan Xing apologized quietly, stood up, and loudly proved his innocence in a voice that everyone could hear:
"It was Zhu Meiren and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who first discovered the fire in the Beiliang camp. The king personally witnessed it. It was Zhu Meiren who personally entered the fire scene and rescued Princess Zhenzhen."
"There was thick smoke in the fire scene, and Zhu Meiren inhaled too much, which caused her to faint temporarily. In terms of love, Zhu Meiren is my king's wife; in terms of etiquette, Zhu Meiren is a hero who sacrifices his life to save others, and it is reasonable for me to help him. .”
"I hope you will show some respect to me, and please respect His Majesty and Madam Zhu. Don't criticize this matter again, so as not to chill the royal family's heart."
Princess Zhenzhen woke up in Alekhon's arms. She personally testified in the most fluent Chinese in her life:
"This prince is right. I testify that it was really Zhu Meiren who rescued me. Ahem..."
Da Qin is not as good as Beiliang. Although the status of women is higher than that of Beiliang, the people of Da Qin value the so-called "character", "good reputation" and "fame" most.
Especially the women of the Emperor of Qin were more conscientious than ordinary women and had to set an example at all times.
How dare a weak woman like Zhu Sijia go deep into a fire to save people?
Everyone gasped when they heard this, especially the noble ladies who had long been secretly dissatisfied with her. They were just watching a show, wanting to see how Yan Xiu would angrily question her in public after she woke up.
Even if she was really innocent with Yan Xing, why would she, a concubine, show up in the Beiliang camp, which was beyond the reach of eight poles, in the name of Sanjiujin?
But if the Northern Liang princess really died at the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, according to the temperament of the Northern Liang barbarian, she might become enemies with Great Qin again.
Unexpectedly, they themselves were a model of treating a gentleman with a villain's heart, so they all lowered their heads in shame.
"You didn't tell me earlier." Yan Xiu held Zhu Sijia in one hand and snatched the small pot from Yan Xing's hand with the other, "What did you feed her?"
Yan Xing said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this medicine is a special medicine prepared by me in advance to rescue people who are unconscious in the fire scene in time. Otherwise, I am afraid it will damage the foundation of the body."
Yan Xiu's face looked better now. He lowered his head, put the spout of the small pot into Zhu Sijia's mouth with his own hands, and fed her the remaining medicine bit by bit to drink.
After taking a pot full of medicine, I hope Scarlett doesn’t wake up yet.
Even Yan Xing was a little surprised. How much fire gas had she inhaled? If he hadn't put aside his past grudges and helped her in time——
I'm afraid that when she wakes up, her brain will not be as good as before.
"Pujiao returns to the camp and sends a message to Imperial Physician Liu."
Yan Xiu hugged Zhu Sijia horizontally. He usually hugged Zhu Sijia. But it wasn't until this moment that he realized that the touch of her hand was so light, as fragile as a thin willow leaf, which would be blown away by the wind if he was not careful.
"King Xiang, I leave tonight's matter to you for thorough investigation. I want your answer before returning to Beijing tomorrow."
…
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The beauty is fine now. It may be because she is overtired and still trapped in a nightmare, so she can't wake up. I will prescribe a calming soup for the beauty, just take it."
Yan Xiu took a wet handkerchief and wiped the dust marks on Zhu Sijia's face with his own hands. He felt relieved after listening to Dr. Liu's words.
Doctor Liu was about to say something but stopped and said, "There is one more thing that I don't know if I can report to Your Majesty."
Yan Xiu paused his hand and continued wiping it: "Tell me."
"Your Majesty asked me before about the impact of the Bizi Decoction on a woman's body. The recipe I gave is mild and not as common as other cold medicines. Long-term use will affect a woman's fertility, so it will not have any serious impact on her fertility."
"But I haven't checked Meiren Zhu's pulse before, and today I found out that Meiren Zhu has an extremely cold constitution, which makes it difficult for her to have children. If she were to take Lao Chen's medicine like an ordinary woman, I'm afraid..."
It doesn’t take Imperial Physician Liu to tell Yan Xiu about the rest of the story.
It's him who is stupid.
If her physique was really as healthy as an ordinary person's, her belly would have swelled long ago after the two of them were intimate for the first time, and there wouldn't be a menstrual period in between.
She was clearly in trouble, yet Yan Xiu actually considered guarding against her.
Isn't this just naked harm?
She, an innocent woman with a kind heart and soft nature, almost suffered such a serious price just because of her suspicion.
For the first time, Yan Xiu felt that he was so comatose.
"But your Majesty, don't worry. If Beauty Zhu's body is carefully nursed back to health, there will still be hope for pregnancy."
"We'll bring this up later." Yan Xiu didn't want to say more. If Zhu Sijia suddenly woke up at this moment, how should he face her?
After Doctor Liu withdrew, Yan Xiu took Zhu Sijia's hand and talked to her for a while, then fed her the decoction with his own hands. Seeing that she still showed no signs of waking up, Yan Xiu stopped disturbing her, got up and left.
There was no one in the tent.
Zhu Sijia opened her eyes, feeling a bitter taste in her throat.
I don’t know if it’s because the decoction I drank tonight is too bitter, or because I feel bitter in my heart.
It turns out that Yan Xiu never thought about letting her give birth to his bloodline, and even wanted to harm her like that.
Isn't it just because she was born in Prince Yan's palace?
The path of valuing mother for son is completely unworkable.
