Chapter 175 Chapter 175 Two tigers in one mountain will inevitably eat each other.
Everyone in the Zichen Hall remained silent for more than just a cup of tea.
Li Xuanbai himself didn't care at all. Didn't he know how his mother treated him over the years?
Everyone sighed and sympathized with him, and the sighs that came one after another rang in his ears, but he just found it funny.
He looked at Nan Qiongshuang as if he was thinking about something.
She was the only one who was not surprised or confused, and her expression was calm and composed.
Without saying anything more, she took a small teacup for him and said, "Get the blood."
Li Xuanbai smiled with comfort and relief.
Yes, that's right. He didn't even feel sorry for himself, so why were the others being so hypocritical? A bunch of slaves, is it their turn to feel sentimental?
It’s not such a big deal.
He smiled and grabbed the teacup. He felt a tacit understanding with the person he was attracted to. He was very satisfied. He placed the teacup on the small table and handed her the knife.
"You row for me."
Nan Qiong Shuang didn't understand what this meant. It was as if he actually enjoyed the cut she made.
"I'll draw?" She smiled meaningfully and shook her head. "Cousin, I'm afraid of blood."
This expression, artificial and sinister, was a unique and weird one when she first came to Tianshan Mountain, like a snake demon shaking its tail.
Li Xuanbai sneered.
Gu Huaijin suddenly turned his head and looked over.
He always felt that she became a different person when she was with this frivolous boy.
This kid would bring out some aspects of her personality that she didn't usually show to others.
Even in front of him, it is not revealed.
His breathing unconsciously became heavier. Now was not the time for sentimental sentiments. He had clearly heard that she had not chosen this boy in Daming Palace. But...
Gu Huaijin: "Prince Regent."
Li Xuanbai tilted his head when he heard that, and knocked the handle of the small dagger against the table again and again:
"Why, I'm joking with my cousin, and you have the right to say anything?"
"Your Majesty, there is no time to lose. How long will the Regent continue to play tricks on you?"
Li Xuanbai did not respond, but just glanced at him with a leisurely smile.
In front of everyone, the two of them always like to act like they have nothing to do with each other.
Nan Qiong Shuang urged him: "Go quickly, cousin. I can't do such a thing... Don't scare me."
Li Xuanbai looked at her biting her lip to act weak, and he was in high spirits again. He laughed heartily for a while, shook his head and sat down on the edge of the bed, rolled up his sleeves, and although he extended his arms in front of Gu Huaijin, he still stared at her and laughed:
"You have to tell me this. If the Imperial Preceptor bleeds me to death," he pointed his finger at her nose, "you will be buried with me."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was even more shocked and speechless.
They had long heard that the Prince Regent and Empress Zhenfei were secretly having an affair, but they thought it was just a rumor. Could it be true?
Suddenly, a voice said, "Sir, sir, please be gentler!"
The old doctor kneeling beside the bed was horrified.
Gu Huaijin's snow-white face was splattered with blood, and he looked ferocious and beautiful: "I'm sorry, my hand slipped."
Nan Qiongshuang was really afraid that Li Xuanbai would bleed to death today. If he fell into Gu Huaijin's hands, how could he be safe? She stood up suddenly, "Sir!"
Gu Huaijin's hand movements paused for a moment, without even raising his head.
Li Xuanbai bared his teeth and laughed fiercely: "You want to kill me?"
Gu Huaijin said briefly, "I dare not." The tip of the knife was pressed down again for a few inches.
"Sir!" Nan Qiong Shuang was really frightened.
Gu Huaijin finally looked up at her. His face, as white as bamboo and jade, was pale as porcelain. He didn't know when his nose was covered with cold sweat. He waited for her to speak with trepidation, breathing in and out carefully and lightly.
It was as if one of her words could be a guillotine.
She suddenly felt regretful, pursed her lips and stopped talking.
"Speak." He deliberately tortured himself, but forced her, "Why don't you say it, my lady?"
Nan Qiong Shuang could see some cruelty in his sarcasm - every time he got jealous, he would think about death.
She couldn't see his eyes beneath the black silk, but she felt almost suffocated by his stare.
The two of them stared at each other, their gazes burning, neither of them saying a word.
Everyone looked at each other.
Li Xuanbai loved to watch the two people arguing because of him. He would leisurely support the show with his chin in his hand, but he didn't pay any attention to his own wrist.
The old doctor beside the bed didn't know what the connection was between these three people. Even if there was one, he didn't dare to think too much about it. Instead, he saw a head trembling and popping out of the blood-soaked area, and bowed:
"Sir, that's enough! It's just to cure the poison for the Emperor, why do you need so much?"
Gu Huaijin finally came to his senses and pulled the blade out from between Li Xuanbai's flesh. "I'm sorry." He pressed the acupoint of Emperor Jiaqing. Emperor Jiaqing's jaw dropped. He held Li Xuanbai's wrist and squeezed the blood out like twisting a towel.
Li Xuanbai was really in pain: "Are you crazy today?"
Gu Huaijin said nothing, but his hand still did not loosen.
The bright red blood was like a small, transparent pillar, twisted and inserted into Emperor Jiaqing's mouth, staining his two rows of teeth like red pomegranates.
The imperial doctors were sweating profusely and were terrified.
After a while, Li Xuanbai finally got annoyed: "That's enough, it's not over yet!" He suddenly pulled his hand back.
"Although this poison can only be cured by the blood of a relative, the emperor may not wake up immediately." Gu Huaijin released his hand, took out a handkerchief, and carefully wiped every inch of his skin that had touched it. "Maybe he will wake up tonight, or maybe tomorrow, it's hard to say. The capital is in turmoil and the situation is unstable. This is a serious matter, so I hope everyone will not leak the news."
Li Xuanbai smiled and said nothing.
Two candles flickered alone, their shadows cast on the tall walls, casting a shadowy shadow across the hall.
After a moment of oppressive silence, everyone said yes.
Everyone understood that the emperor was in a coma and Mr. Gu did not allow the news to leak out because he still wanted to maintain the balance among the three parties and keep the peaceful days longer.
But the Regent is here.
There will be no more quiet days.
The Regent will certainly take this opportunity to eliminate Prince Ding's faction. Two tigers in one mountain will inevitably eat each other.
It's just a matter of time.
The imperial physicians knelt on the ground around Li Xuanbai, carefully applying medicine to his wrist and wrapping it with gauze two or three times before sighing and kowtowing, "Prince Regent, we have finished the treatment. The injury is not serious. I hope you will rest and recuperate."
Li Xuanbai turned his wrist and glanced back at Emperor Jiaqing, who was still breathing lightly and looking dark-faced. He stood up and said, "Tonight, you old men will take turns guarding here and not leave. If there are any unusual movements, report them to the Daming Palace immediately."
The imperial doctors responded respectfully, "Yes."
Then he said to Gu Huaijin:
"This fellow Chang Zhong has been thrown into the Imperial Prison. Sir, please interrogate him personally."
Gu Huaijin stood up and straightened his clothes:
"I thought the Regent would personally handle such an important person. I guess the Regent has something more pressing to do, so I'll leave it to you."
Li Xuanbai ignored the implication and said, "It's late at night." He yawned loudly and said, "I'm going back to rest."
After he finished speaking, he held his head in his hands and swaggered out of the Zichen Hall.
Mao Linyan was also cleared out by Gu Huaijin.
Suddenly, only Emperor Jiaqing, Wang Rang and the trembling Chang Zhong were left in the hall.
Nan Qiongshuang walked to Gu Huaijin's side and said, "Sir, I have something to discuss with you. I wonder if you could spare me a moment to talk."
After the two finished talking, they returned from outside the hall.
Only Emperor Jiaqing and Wang Rang were left in the palace.
