This old man lying on the bed with only one breath left, tried his best to say these three words?
Look at his hand again, isn't it pointing to Xia Shang?
"Hua...Xia..."
I don't know why, in the chaos, the emperor kept chanting these two words.
magnificent!
summer!
Both the queen and the old eunuch were unclear about what the two words meant, let alone the relationship between the two words.
Xia Shang narrowed his eyes, as if he wanted to understand something.
The word "Huaxia" represented the world in the previous life, and all people who grew up on this land are descendants of Huaxia.
But what does this mean?
And why did the emperor say that word?
kill?
Are you going to kill me?
Why?
This is what everyone is puzzled about. Even the old eunuch didn't realize the profound meaning in it. He thought that the emperor had not recovered from his confusion and was probably suffering from another demonic disorder.
"Master Xia, don't be offended. I guess the emperor still thinks you are Lu Xun, or someone else?"
Xia Shang smiled awkwardly.
Looking at the emperor's eyes again, although the emperor's eyes were dim, they did not seem to be in a state of chaos, nor did they seem to be in a state of being possessed by a demon.
Xia Shang looked at him, and he looked at Xia Shang, his eyes unmoving, but he still muttered: "Hua...Xia..."
The emperor's words were a bit strange, and sounded a bit creepy, especially to Xia Shang, who felt that all the hairs on his body stood up.
At this time, the queen said: "Mr. Xia, it seems that your medicine is indeed good for the emperor. I wonder how the treatment will be in the future?"
"From now on, it will be as usual every day. It will take extra time to achieve results. The emperor is in a state of confusion right now. He should get better after a while."
The queen took a long breath: "This will make people feel at ease."
Xia Shang didn't pay attention to what the queen said, and looked towards the emperor unconsciously. The more he looked at it, the more guilty he felt. Then he found an excuse, left the palace, and went to Hui Xiyuan.
Until they arrived at Xiyuan, the fluctuations in Xia Shang's heart had not subsided. His mind was full of the emperor's eyes looking at him and the word "unforgettable." He felt that what the emperor said in a state of confusion was not a joke.
"kill him!"
Will the emperor really kill me?
why is that?
Xia Shang really can't understand. I tried my best to save him, but he wants to kill me?
There has to be a reason!
Thinking about it, Xia Shang lay down on the grass.
Looking at the clear sky, Xia Shang suddenly came up with a bold idea: "Since this critically ill person wants to kill him, why not kill him first? No matter what reasons he thinks of, they are all irrelevant things.
I don’t know if his true intention is to kill me. In short, as long as there is a threat, remove the threat. Isn’t this the way I should behave in the world?”
With unrealistic ideas, Li Youlan followed her back after school.
In the evening, I met Xian'er again in the flower bed. The two of them talked about each other like this, which was simple and pleasant.
But when Xian'er wanted to leave, Xia Shang handed her the place names given to him by the queen, and asked Xian'er to try to find out for him to see what stories were hidden in these place names.
It's rare to be able to help the young master, so Xian'er naturally accepts it happily.
In the following days, Xian'er would come here every night, and she would say a few words more or less. According to her, she felt at ease only after seeing the young master.
Xia Shang was naturally happy to have such a girl by his side. The few moments at night were also the time he looked forward to most every day.
In the blink of an eye, one month passed.
Xia Shang still maintained Li Youlan's identity as a book boy, and gradually adapted to the peaceful life in the capital.
In addition to daily reading and trysts with Xian'er at night, Xia Shang still continued to treat the emperor.
After all, he did not tamper with the emperor's medicine, not because he was afraid, but mainly because he felt that he was still indispensable in the world.
If he dies, the world of Dahua will inevitably be in turmoil, and it is unknown how many people will suffer.
This emperor must live, at least until he brings an end to the important matter of inheriting the country.
Therefore, Xia Shang still tried his best to treat the emperor and saw that his health improved day by day.
Unknowingly, the weather has gotten hotter, and the capital has already felt the heat of summer. Both the people in the city and the maids and eunuchs in the palace have also put on thin clothes.
Xia Shang still likes summer, not because his surname is Xia, but because there are more scenery in the streets and alleys. Girls can always see more or less scenery in their gauze clothes, which is enough for the eyes.
It was the tenth day of May, an ordinary day, but the weather became sunny and cooler.
Xia Shang sent Li Youlan to school as usual, and then the palace sedan arrived at the unnamed palace.
The emperor's health is getting better and better. He regained consciousness a week ago and can even speak a few words.
What reassured Xia Shang was that after the emperor recovered, he did not talk about "Hua" or "Xia" as before, nor did he mention that he wanted to kill Xia Shang.
This made Xia Shang gradually forget about the emperor's threat and the nonsense that the emperor said when he was in chaos at that time.
Being able to cure the emperor is a great achievement after all. No matter how big the reward is from the emperor, at least he should live more comfortably in the capital in the future, and he won't have to hide his identity like this all the time, right?
This was what Xia Shang was most looking forward to. The old eunuch also said in his spare time that the emperor had praised Xia Shang in private, thinking that he was alive thanks to him and that the reward was indispensable. He was waiting for the emperor to fully recover.
Xia Shang estimated the days, and his treatment could only be completed in the last two days. He could only make a decision after taking the emperor's pulse again.
Xia Shang was thinking about his bright future in the sedan chair, but he didn't notice that the person picking up the sedan chair today was not Wei Ting. When Xia Shang found out, he also found that he had deviated from the route and was not going to the palace of the past.
Xia Shang frowned, opened the curtain and asked the guard in front: "Why isn't it Wei Ting?"
"Mr. Wei has an errand to do today, and he needs someone to take his place at the moment."
"The route seems wrong. Did you take the wrong route?"
"Don't worry, Sir, I did not make a mistake."
As he said this, Xia Shang felt that the people carrying the sedan chair were walking faster.
There was something wrong with this. Xia Shang got up and said, "Stop!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rustle outside the sedan.
Xia Shang opened the curtain again and saw that the head of the guard who had just spoken to him had rolled past his eyes.
Before Xia Shang could be surprised, there were several more similar "puff" sounds, and Xia Shang's sedan instantly fell to the ground. At the same time, several heads rolled down, making Xia Shang's face turn pale with fright.
Xia Shang endured the surprise and came out of the sedan chair, and bumped into someone.
"Sir, please follow me."
When I saw this person, it was Wei Ting! (To be continued)
