"Ahem..." A heavy cough came from the side hall. The two little palace maids were frightened and turned around to look.
They were surprised to find that standing behind them was General Hou wearing a bandage!
"General Hou, you..." A little palace maid opened her mouth wide and exclaimed.
Hou Jun's face was pale, he was wearing a lining, and the bandage on his lower abdomen was still bleeding. He was standing at the door, holding on to the wall with great difficulty.
Although Hou Jun looked extremely weak, he could actually stand up now, which was enough to shock the two little palace ladies beyond description.
They all watched with their own eyes as General Hou was brought back dying. The imperial doctor said that it was a miracle that General Hou could survive such a serious injury. If he wanted to recover, it would be impossible for him to recover within three to five years.
How long had it been before? General Hou actually stood up from the bed and walked to the door alone.
Naturally, the two little maids did not understand the master's physique and could not use common sense to understand it.
Although Hou Jun was seriously injured, Chunjiao's Qi had been used to regulate him before, and coupled with the imperial doctor's treatment of the trauma, the Grandmaster's body functions had recovered and he was repairing himself rapidly.
Hou Jun can stand now, but his basic body functions have only been restored. The loss of true energy caused by serious injuries is the biggest damage.
It will take a long time for Hou Jun to recover to his peak. This is also a common problem among all masters. Once seriously injured, it is easy to save life, but it is very difficult to fully recover.
"Where is the Queen?"
"General Hou, you need to have a good rest. The Queen doesn't have to worry about General Hou for the time being."
The little palace maid explained, but Hou Jun didn't appreciate it and insisted on going to the main hall.
Fortunately, Hou Jun was too weak and fell to the ground after taking only two steps. The two palace maids then came over to help him and sent Hou Jun to the side hall.
Hou Jun was arranged to lie down, and the two palace ladies were about to leave. One of them was grabbed by Hou Jun's hand: "Who is the Queen with now?"
"..." The little palace maid was startled and tried desperately to break free, but Hou Jun seemed weak, but his hands were very strong. The little palace maid tried several times without success, so she could only cry and beg:
"General Hou, you're not doing well with this... Just let this slave go..."
"Let me ask you, who is the Queen with now...
Ahem..."
"The Queen is now with Master Xia..."
"What are we doing together?"
"No...nothing..."
"If you don't follow the truth, I'll crush your arm."
"This...this...even if General Hou kills the slave, the slave will not dare to talk nonsense. It is better for General Hou to take a good rest and not to ask about the queen's affairs."
After all, she was the maid who followed the queen, and she was very confident. Although she was still afraid at this time, she did not tell anyone what she saw.
However, the previous conversation between the two palace maids outside had already fallen into Hou Jun's ears. Even if the little palace maid said nothing, he had made his own judgment in his mind.
After a moment of silence, Hou Jun silently let go of his hand, and then waved to the two little palace maids, signaling them to leave.
As if they had received an amnesty, the two little palace maids hurriedly ran away, walked outside the side hall, and then gathered together to whisper, guessing whether General Hou knew something.
Hou Jun was lying on the bed, looking out the window, listening to the muttering conversation between the two little palace ladies, and clenching his fists cutely.
…
It was ten minutes past noon in a blink of an eye, and the sunny day after the rain was particularly shining in the county. The remaining rainwater everywhere in the palace shone brightly under the sunlight.
This is a good sign that everything is calming down.
Xia Shang, who was lying on the bed, looked at the sunshine outside in a daze, and from time to time looked at the sleeping woman beside the pillow. After a short silence, he carefully got up from the bed and put on his clothes carefully without making a sound.
At this moment, a little palace maid passed by outside the window. She happened to see Xia Shang getting up and opening his mouth to say something.
Xia Shang quickly made a silent gesture, and then pointed at the sleeping Qin Zheng.
When the palace maid saw this, she naturally understood, walked away cautiously, and gently closed the window.
Xia Shang looked around to make sure there was no one around, then he leaned next to Qin Zheng and took a closer look. After confirming that she was asleep, he walked to the other side of the bed, picked up Qin Zheng's clothes from the ground, and then
Exploring carefully.
Xia Shang had doubts in his heart. He felt that this woman was hiding something from him. The piece of snake slough she handed over was fake!
The snake slough that actually contains the outline of the Heavenly Book should have been dropped by this woman when he was in a coma.
Bag.
The reason why Xia Shang made this judgment was because he saw Qin Zheng throwing the snake into the fire and turning it into ashes.
You must know that the snake slough with the general outline of the heavenly book was not turned into ashes during the heavenly tribulation. It was concentrated several times by the sky thunder, and some sparks appeared on it.
That snake slough was left behind when Ying Long ascended. How could it be so easily transformed by ordinary fire?
But the piece of snake slough given by Qin Zheng was easily burned.
Therefore, Xia Shang had doubts.
But now it is just a suspicion, and it cannot explain anything without sufficient evidence.
In order to have time to carefully search Qin Zheng's personal belongings, Xia Shang made an impromptu decision to tire the woman out, so that even if she found nothing, the other party would not be angry because of Xia Shang's distrust.
Xia Shang searched Qin Zheng's clothes twice and found nothing.
Xia Shang frowned and sat by the bed, wondering if he had really blamed her wrongly? Could it be that the Book of Heaven had really been burned?
Putting down his clothes, Xia Shang looked at Qin Zheng and found that the woman showed no signs of waking up, so he expanded the search area and searched in every corner of the palace.
At this time, Xia Shang had no hope. Unexpectedly, after searching several cabinets, he found another piece of snake slough in a drawer under Qin Zheng's dressing table.
Xia Shang just glanced at it and felt a little thump in his heart.
This is the outline of a small piece of the Book of Heaven that he snatched from Zero One.
Because there are obvious burn marks on the snake slough, but there are only a few marks, the entire snake slough is still very complete, and the gold lines on it are also very clear.
Seeing this scene, Xia Shang felt angry in his heart. He turned back and glanced at the woman on the bed. He really couldn't figure out what this woman wanted to do?
She is a woman with no foundation, what is the general outline of the book that day? She is so hidden!
What made Xia Shang most unhappy was the feeling of being deceived. At first, he had a change of heart towards this woman, but he didn't expect that the previous good feelings would be destroyed so quickly.
Looking at Qin Zheng, her limp body moved on the bed, feeling like she was about to wake up.
Xia Shang no longer hesitated, opened the snake slough and put it in front of his eyes. After looking at it for only a few seconds, he frowned, then quickly put the snake slough back into the box and returned to the bed.
