As Jin Miaomiao said before, in the evening, Shen Cha began to show signs of fever.
Because the fever was very serious, Shen Cha started to move around and accidentally touched the wound. The pain made her face and head covered with sweat.
Jin Miaomiao had already prepared antipyretic pills. As soon as she realized that something was wrong with Shen Cha, she opened her mouth and stuffed the pills directly in.
This kind of pill is specially designed by Jin Miaomiao for such comatose patients. No water is needed, just take it through the mouth. When the pill slowly melts in the mouth and goes down the throat into the stomach, it begins to work.
After being fed the medicine, Shen Cha calmed down after a while and fell into a deep sleep again, but this time he slept more peacefully than before.
Mei Zhu was replaced by Hong Ye. She never thought that the general would be so seriously injured after being away from him for just one day. If I were with him, I might be able to help the general share some of the burden, so that he wouldn't end up like this.
"You don't have to blame yourself. Your presence or absence doesn't make any difference. The outcome is the same." Jin Miaomiao looked at Shen Haolin who was sitting outside handling official duties, "Didn't the Duke of the State just say that? , they just went there for the tea, and they deliberately chose to do it inside the house, and shamelessly used the people of Jiaping Pass as a shield. Tell me, if you were there, what would you do? Everyone Various external reasons restricted our actions, and our advantages could not be used at all, and injuries were inevitable. Fortunately, this assassination was a spur-of-the-moment, and we were prepared in a hurry, without having time to tamper with the knife, otherwise there would be more trouble. "
"But..." Mei Zhu wiped her tears, "The general has not suffered such a serious injury for several years. I don't know when he will wake up."
"You have been with her for so many years, but you still don't know who she is? Don't you remember how her master treated her back then? The injury at that time was much more serious than this time, and she had to recuperate for two whole months. .Compared with that, what is this injury?" Jin Miaomiao snorted, reaching out to poke Mei Zhu's forehead, "Don't worry, she is thick-skinned and not as delicate as you think. As long as the heat If you retreat, you can wake up tomorrow morning. Look at how calm our Duke is, not in a hurry."
Hearing Jin Miaomiao's words, Shen Haolin, who was busy dealing with official duties outside, glared at her and said, "Stop making trouble with me!"
"Didn't I praise you to Mei Zhu, saying that you are not afraid in the face of danger, you are worthy of being a marshal, and you have the demeanor of a general." Jin Miaomiao held his tea cup and slowly walked it in front of Shen Haolin. He glanced at it and lost his attention. Mei Zhu, who was placed on Shen Cha, lowered his voice and asked, "Hey, after interrogating Xiao Liu, are you sure that there must be Liao's eyes in our house?"
"You think so too?" The two looked at each other and sighed at the same time. Shen Haolin put down the pen in his hand and said, "Have you chosen someone you suspect?"
"Asking me this is like asking in vain. I rarely go out once, and not all the people in the house may know them all. However, not many people know that Xiaocha and I went out today. You can follow this line to check Check it out.”
"It's useless." Shen Haolin shook his head, "Xiao Liu said that he accidentally saw you on the street and organized this assassination in a hurry. Depending on your intuition, whether what he said is true. "
"If you say so, it is possible. After all, the Chinese New Year is coming in just two days. Everyone is going out to do shopping before the Chinese New Year. By chance, I met an acquaintance on the street. Well, it makes sense. Although he is from Liao, he is from Liao. It’s also time to celebrate the New Year.”
"Really?" Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows, "Your expression tells me that that's not what you think in your heart."
"The Duke of Guo has grown up and can actually read faces!"
"Stop talking nonsense, just say whatever you think!"
"I think what he said is indeed true, but I have a question. As he said, he accidentally saw us on the street and organized this assassination on the spur of the moment. So, can we assume that these people usually They also live together. Otherwise, it would be impossible to gather so many people so quickly in such a short period of time. Vice General Wei arrested about thirty people this time, plus the dozen who escaped, Xiao Liu's men With at least forty or fifty people in charge, so many people living together are still very conspicuous. But why have we never noticed them? "
"Of course they won't notice that even though they are spies, they will go out to do small business and do odd jobs during the day. They live the same life as ordinary people. It is difficult for them to find anything when they blend in with ordinary people. Moreover, Yelu is very creative. , rented a whole five rooms for Xiao Liu and the others, all next to each other. These people usually pretend not to know each other, and only gather together at night." Shen Haolin collected the things on the table and put them aside. , If Shen Cha doesn't wake up, he won't be in the mood to do anything else. "As for what you said, the reason why we can gather so many people in a short time is because some of them are setting up stalls on the street, and some of them are helping the shops."
"Hey, these spies know a lot about life. Not bad. They're not just doing petty theft like before."
"Yelu treats them as abandoned children. It would be nice to give them a place to stay. They have to be responsible for their own daily expenses."
"Winter has just entered. Yelu's focus must be on the Liao Kingdom. He won't worry too much about things here. If he knew that Xiao Liu was behind his back and stabbed such a big trap, he would probably go crazy. "Jin Miaomiao put down the tea cup, walked to the door, and looked outside, "Where do you think the man in black came from? Yelu should pay more attention to him, right?"
"This is inevitable. Seeing how secretive his whereabouts are, he is a real spy. Xiao Liu and those under him are all scapegoats."
"I just don't know if this person is hiding among us, or if there is someone else." Jin Miaomiao touched his belly, "This is not a matter of urgency. Take your time. Sooner or later, we will find them all. . By the way, didn’t it say that my brother is coming back? Where is the person? "
"Wuding Hou Mansion." Shen Haolin looked at the sky outside, "Xiaotian takes them back to have a rest, and come over after dinner." He snapped his fingers, and Shadow Five dropped from the roof, "Go and talk to the dining room Say, prepare dinner for Miaomiao."
"And you?"
"I don't have much appetite." Shen Haolin shook his head, "Don't worry about me. You take Mei Zhu to dinner, and I'll talk to Cha'er."
"But... you can't do this. After Xiaocha wakes up, if she knows that you don't eat or drink because she is injured, how uncomfortable will she feel?"
"If I'm hungry, I'll go back and eat by myself, don't worry!" Shen Haolin walked into the inner room and patted Mei Zhu on the shoulder, "Let's go eat!"
Mei Zhu looked at Shen Cha, then at Shen Haolin, nodded slightly, and followed Jin Miaomiao.
Shen Haolin sat on the bed, looked at Shen Cha who was sleeping soundly, covered her with a quilt, and reached out to touch her hair.
"I always advised you to rest before, but you were always disobedient. It's better this time. You're injured and have to lie down on the bed." Shen Haolin held Shen Cha's hand, sighed softly, and said , "The person who hurt you has been caught, it's Xiao Liu. You should be familiar with him. He is the brother of that bastard Xiao Chongtian. He wants to kill you to avenge Xiao Chongtian. You said, Xiao Chongtian has been dead for so many years, why is he still a ghost? Why are you always hanging around in front of us? When he was alive, he had ill intentions towards you and always wanted to kidnap you back to the Liao Kingdom. Now that he is dead, his brothers are thinking about asking us to pay for his life. It seems, Xiaotian is right, no one named Xiao is good!" He lowered his head, looked at Shen Cha, and continued, "I asked Shadow to take the news of your injury back to Song Jue. This happened. , we can’t hide it from him. Xiaotian and I thought that Song Jue might take this opportunity to teach Yelvertu a lesson. Maybe we can get unexpected results. Also, I I sent someone to notify Deputy Marshal Qin. It was estimated that the battle with Duan was over, so he asked for an order to return to Jiaping Pass. Cha'er, you have to get well quickly and say a good word for me in front of your master, otherwise , your eldest brother, I will be miserable, I will have to be tortured to death by your master."
Just like that, Shen Haolin sat beside Shen Cha's bed, muttering to himself all the events of the day. After saying what was in his heart, he felt a little tired and didn't bother to change places, so he just leaned on the bed frame and fell asleep.
Jin Miaomiao and Mei Zhu, who came back from the meal, saw this scene, retracted their legs towards the inner room, and left quietly.
Shen Cha had no idea what had happened. She only knew that she had been stabbed in the back, and the huge pain caused her to fall into a deep coma. She didn't know how long it took, but she regained a little bit of consciousness. She felt as if she was in a furnace, which made her lips and tongue dry. She urgently needed something cool to relieve the symptoms. Just when she was struggling to open her eyes and call for help, someone stuffed something cool into her mouth, and she felt much better instantly. The symptoms of burning were improved to some extent, and the sleepiness came again, and she slowly fell into a deep sleep again.
When he woke up again, Shen Cha's consciousness had returned to normal. Except that the wound on his back was still painful, the burning sensation in the dream had completely disappeared. She moved her fingers and found that her hands were completely out of control, as if they were tangled up in something.
"...Water...water, water..." Using all the strength in his body, Shen Cha "roared" in a hoarse voice.
Shen Haolin took a nap next to her. Although he was very sleepy and tired, he still had a good heart, so he didn't sleep well. As soon as Shen Cha moved, he woke up immediately. When he heard Shen Cha asking for water, he immediately opened his eyes and checked Shen Cha's condition.
"Cha, Cha! What do you want?"
Shen Cha heard Shen Haolin's tired voice and guessed that he had probably stayed with her all night, and felt warm and guilty at the same time. Because she was injured due to her carelessness, she had to trouble her brother to look after her. However, this was not the time for self-reflection. Her throat was sore and she urgently needed to drink water.
"water."
"Oh, water!" Shen Haolin, who finally heard what Shen Cha said, carefully let go of Shen Cha's hand and ran outside to pour water. While pouring the water, he did not forget to ask Yingying to find Jin Miaomiao and tell her that Shen Cha had woken up. "The water is coming!"
Shen Haolin put the tea cup on the table next to the bed, gently lifted Shen Cha up from the bed, let her lean half in his arms, and fed her water bit by bit with a small spoon.
"No more!" After two sips, Shen Cha felt better. Shen Cha shook his head slightly, "Brother, I'm sorry."
"What are you sorry for?" Shen Haolin put the tea cup aside and took care not to touch the wound on his back. Shen Haolin took the person into his arms, "I should be the one to say sorry. If I were with you If we go out together, they won't act unscrupulously on the street." Shen Haolin touched Shen Cha's cold forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, "Jin Miaomiao is quite powerful. It's just like what she said. You will wake up. How do you feel now? Does the wound hurt? "
"One thing, it's okay." Shen Cha closed his eyes and leaned in Shen Haolin's arms, "It will be fine in two days, brother, don't worry. But brother, you didn't sleep at night, okay? Don't worry about me, go and have a rest. Bar!"
"After Jin Miaomiao finishes reading for you, I will go and rest."
"good!"
Because the injury was so serious, Shen Cha still felt very tired, so he steeled himself to chat with Shen Haolin for a few words, and then slowly fell asleep.
