Since ancient times, it is difficult to have both worlds and beauties. To be an emperor, one must always be willing to give up. To win the world, one has to give up the beauty of the country, and to win a beautiful wife, one has to give up the hegemony. There are only a handful of people who can have both. The reason for this is that they are single-minded. Secondly, beauties are often troublesome. Once one person is under one person and over ten thousand people, she will inevitably become complacent. Unless she is an extremely sensible woman, she will often have to compete with the people of the world and the country for favor, causing trouble in the palace, palaces, and even the country and the people.
Shen Yuqiu is looking forward to Yi Chenjing's answer. Which one will he choose between Bai Qige and his future as an emperor?
Save Bai Qige's life and then we can stay together for the rest of our lives?
Or do you wear royal robes and dominate the world?
However, after waiting for a long time, Yi Chenjing never gave a reply.
"You seem to be hesitant and unable to make a decision?" Shen Yuqiu stepped forward and continued walking forward, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes that could not be seen by others.
"I just feel that there is no need to answer such a boring question." Yi Chenjing's face showed no expression at all, and her tone was calm. She entered the small room and put Bai Qige on the bed. She only let out a faint moan of pain. Tenderness and a hint of worry. He stood up and looked at Shen Yuqiu with a searching look. The almost lifeless calm in his eyes was chilling: "If she can be safe and sound, you can have anything you want, as long as I can do it."
"The rich family is full of wine and meat, even if you want to give it to me, you won't accept it. All I want is an answer. Since you can protect her at the risk of your life, it is not difficult to measure the value of the throne and the one you love? Or do you think it is? Nothing is important, the most important thing is to ascend the throne and unify the country?"
Unexpectedly, Yi Chenjing actually smiled, but it was a bit bitter and dim.
"What I want is to be with her, protect her well, and protect her throughout her life. If I have no power and can be manipulated by others, and she will be bullied by others, what is the use of her living? I would rather die with her. , and I don’t want her to live alone without my protection.”
If someone else said this, it would inevitably make people feel conceited and ridiculous. However, in this situation, Shen Yuqiu couldn't find anything to say to refute.
In the royal palace, who can escape intrigues and intrigues? In the previous dynasty, hundreds of officials competed for favors, and in the sixth palace, there was competition for favors. There was no brotherhood among the princes, only a sense of caution... He, Shen Yuqiu, was not a trap. But the people in the middle can see clearly. Those royal nobles who wear noble clothes have learned to deceive and talk secretly at a young age. Most of the reasons are forced by the environment, and they are less free than ordinary people. Yi Chenjing Although his monopoly on Bai Qige was evident in his words, he had indeed paid a lot for it. If he hadn't found out that the pair were from the imperial palace, he would have actually felt pity when Fu Chu mentioned their situation. heart of.
With a special status like Yi Chenjing, there is nothing wrong with wanting to gain greater power and position to protect the woman he loves. Which man in the world doesn't want his true love to be safe and free from bullying? Yi Chenjing's empire is 70% dedicated to Bai Qige.
"Go out, I will call you if anything happens." Shen Yuqiu pointed to the door without raising his head.
Yi Chenjing did not leave, but retreated to the corner and stood upright, with a subtle pleading in her cautious tone: "I just need to look at her and I will never disturb you."
With his breath rising in his chest, Shen Yuqiu wanted to scold him and tell him to get out quickly, but when he saw Yi Chenjing staring blankly at Bai Qige, he couldn't bear it, so he waved his hand and gave up.
Fu Chu brought warm water and put it aside. Ye Huawan also carried the medicine box into the room. Four people were crammed into the small but clean and tidy room. Shen Yuqiu was very dissatisfied with the overly restrictive diagnosis and treatment environment. , except for snorting, there was only silence.
The moment the red silk thread was untied, a large amount of blood gushed out from the wound. Ye Huawan peeked through her fingers in fear, her heart skipping a beat but could not fall into her stomach. In comparison, Fu Chu was much more calm and methodical. The master and apprentice had a tacit understanding when delivering medicinal materials and utensils to Shen Yuqiu. Within a short time, Bai Qige's bleeding was stopped, and the surrounding blood stains were also cleaned up.
"This ghost grass is a rare poison in the East China Sea. Just a drop of its juice can cause a wound to not heal for a long time until it bleeds to death. Fortunately, her wound has been covered with fairy snail powder, but in the end it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause." Shen Yuqiu. While preparing the medicine, he said to Fu Chu as if he was explaining, "Before, you gave her a herb to stop bleeding. It seemed to be effective, but in fact it was catalyzing the toxicity, which made the current situation worse. Next time, remember to find out the poison first before applying the medicine. It’s the most basic common sense.”
Hearing that it was his own mistake that made Bai Qige's injury worse, Fu Chu secretly glanced at Yi Chenjing uneasily and guiltily. Unexpectedly, the latter looked at the sleeping woman on the bed with her eyes closed, unable to see anyone else in his eyes. , did not notice Shen Yuqiu's words at all. Fu Chu stopped his movements and winked at Ye Huawan. Ye Huawan hesitated for a moment, moved a bamboo chair to Yi Chenjing, and gently pulled it Sleeves covered in blood.
"Big man, please rest for a while, even if you sit down, you are still injured..."
Yi Chenjing focused all her thoughts on Bai Qige, so she naturally ignored Ye Huawan. Ye Huawan stood there for a long time with her mouth pursed, until Shen Yuqiu couldn't bear it and asked her to go out to boil water. After leaving, she took three steps and turned back before she could no longer see Yi Chenjing. The girl's ignorance and innocence were clearly visible.
Shen Yuqiu could tell that Ye Huawan had a crush on Yi Chenjing. Firstly, he was angry that the apprentice's elbows were turned outwards and he only helped outsiders at the critical moment. Secondly, he was angry that Ye Huawan had mistakenly paid attention to the one he loved so much. The one-person prince couldn't help but strike harder, and Bai Qige couldn't help but frown in her sleep.
"Be gentle..." Yi Chenjing said hoarsely. He wanted to step forward but was afraid of affecting Shen Yuqiu. He was neither advancing nor retreating. He stood in the corner in a paradoxical manner, feeling dejected.
The title of Poison Doctor is not deserved. In Shen Yuqiu's hands, the poisonous disease that many doctors shook their heads and sighed was like the simplest disease. He researched the medicine, mixed it, applied it, and bandaged it. In less than an hour, his brows relaxed and he breathed. The calm Bai Qige completely got rid of the poison torture for decades and fell into a deep sleep in comfort.
Fu Chu let out a long sigh, and his young face turned sunny: "Brother Chen, don't worry, Sister Bai is fine."
"I didn't say it was okay, but you knew it first?" Shen Yuqiu's expression did not improve after the detoxification was completed, but instead became more solemn, "Go get a water bowl."
First, he felt the pulse, then took Bai Qige's blood, put it in a water bowl, added some unknown medicine, and observed it. After a moment of burning incense, he looked at Yi Chenjing with a much more complicated look. Sensing Shen Yuqiu's strange gaze, Yi Chenjing instinctively He looked up and looked back, catching a fleeting glimpse of sympathy and pity.
Suddenly my heart sank.
"anymore question?"
Shen Yuqiu put Bai Qige's arm back under the quilt, and motioned with her eyes for the two of them to go outside to talk.
"Let me ask you, did she slip through the tire?" Shen Yuqiu couldn't wait to grab Yi Chenjing's wrist as soon as she left the door, her brows furrowed tighter than Yi Chenjing's, "Who is so cruel as to injure a young woman?" Such a powerful poison? In her life—"
"She may never be pregnant again in her life, right?" She had already known the fact, so Yi Chenjing was not surprised, with a cold smile on her lips.
Bai Qige cherishes her children so much, and the scene of her heartache when she took medicine to slide is still vivid in her mind. Yi Chenxuan not only forced her to kill their biological flesh and blood, but also caused Bai Qige to never have the chance to be a mother. This hatred, he I will definitely repay it with my own hands!
The cold expression made Fu Chu feel strange and sad. His medical skills were far inferior to those of the poisonous doctor Shen Yuqiu. Before this, he didn't know that Bai Qige would never have another child in his life. Now that he knew it, he couldn't express his feelings.
Sitting on the stone bench, Shen Yuqiu's expression was no longer as indifferent as before: "Since you know that she cannot get pregnant, you still insist on staying with her for life? You must understand that the emperor's family does not need ordinary people, Mother is more important than her son, and the continuation of the dragon's veins is the most important thing. No matter how much you like her, if you really ascend the throne in the future, won't you be afraid that the officials and concubines will use this matter to attack her position as queen?"
"Emperor, Queen?!" Fu Chu swallowed his saliva and looked at Shen Yuqiu in disbelief, "Master, is Brother Chen really the emperor's order?"
"I don't know. I only know that the prince of Yaoguo is not able to take the lead now, and the two most popular princes are the fifth prince and the seventh prince. The fifth prince is a ruthless person from his poisoning methods. , if I take over the throne, the people of Zhongzhou will be in dire straits. If I had to choose, I would rather be this idiot as the emperor."
Fu Chu nodded: "Well, I also think that Brother Chen should be the emperor. Only those who are kind and righteous will care about people's livelihood and benefit the people of the world. Looking at Brother Chen's single-minded and infatuated love for Sister Bai, we know that Brother Chen will definitely be a good emperor. .”
"What's the use of flattering him? Is it possible that he promised you a high official, a rich salary, a mansion, a wife and concubines?" Shen Yuqiu hit Fu Chu on the head with a chestnut, and then sneered, "Being single-minded and infatuated is the most undesirable thing. The emperor has the mission of being an emperor and is responsible for the people of the world and the country. If he ignores the people for a woman, will he become a coward?" His eyes drifted to Yi Chenjing, and Shen Yuqiu sneered with a hint of approval: "I asked you just now. Should you choose the throne or your love? That question is not to embarrass you. In fact, no matter what answer you give, I will save that woman. What I really want to know is your heart and want to see if you have the magnanimity and grace to become a king. Fortunately, your answer wasn't what I wanted, but it didn't disappoint me either."
Bai Qige was fine. Yi Chenjing could finally shift his attention to other things. Hearing Shen Yuqiu's comments, he couldn't help but be surprised and raised his eyebrows to meet Shen Yuqiu's gaze.
It was a clean face without traces of time. The only cloth robes on the body could not hide the aloofness and aloofness. The most special thing was those eyes, with pupils between brown and black, bright and lively, a little otherworldly and a little bit different. The world is spotless, but the strange thing is that it makes people feel completely seen through, with no way to hide.
"Who are you?" Yi Chenjing lowered his voice.
Shen Yuqiu didn't answer, he picked up a flower leaf and put it to his lips, and the melodious music echoed in the mountains.
Mountains and rivers are shaken, Qiong Yao is dark, spears pick up the flying clouds and horse hooves scatter; when we are swinging in Zhongzhou, Yang Haoyu, the iron armor breaks the moon, and the black dragon leaps to the sky bank. Look, you are in peace and singing in the ten directions, but I am far away, and the world will always envy you.
The ethereal singing voice gradually became clearer from the depths of memory, and every word has never been forgotten. Yi Chenjing seemed to have returned to her carefree and beloved childhood, standing with someone on the tower of the imperial capital to watch her father lead an army to conquer the country. When he returned, the man stroked his head, laughed loudly, and sang like a rainbow.
"Uncle National Master..."
In an instant, the past swept over me like the wind.
