Chapter 45: I can’t go back to Beijing. I can’t faint, at least not in the toilet…
While Zheliu and Xiaobai were talking, the sun had already set completely behind the mountain.
There was no candlelight in the house. Xiaobai had practiced martial arts for many years and had excellent eyesight. He could even see and smell the willow branches being cut.
But Wen Zheliu's eyesight was sometimes better and sometimes worse. When the light was brighter, he could still see a little, but when the surroundings became completely dark, he could see nothing.
"You just said you wanted some cold water?"
Xiaobai was completely baffled. "But don't you usually drink hot drinks? Drinking cold water in winter is irritating to the stomach, and your spleen and stomach are weak. Drinking cold water will give you abdominal pain and diarrhea."
Wen Zheliu knew this, but he didn't take it seriously.
If you want to have diarrhea, you have to drink it and let the coldness reach your stomach and intestines.
He feels sick when he hears about food. Even drinking water requires him to hold it in his mouth for a while before he can slowly swallow it. How can he not vomit it out?
He asked for cold water originally to vomit something out to relieve his migraine, so it wouldn't be a big deal.
"Give it to me." Wen Zheliu said in a hoarse voice.
Xiaobai couldn't persuade him and had to do as he asked.
Cold water has no taste, unlike the steaming warm water in winter, which has a different smell that can be smelled from a distance.
That's exactly what happened, and it didn't arouse nausea.
He gulped down a large glass of cold water, and Wen Zheliu leaned on the couch with his hands, shocked and breaking out in a cold sweat. It was really strange. He felt nauseous even when drinking water quickly in the past few days, but now he drank so much water in one breath without any feeling of vomiting?
After sitting in disbelief for a while, Wen Zheliu placed one hand on his swollen and painful Taiyangxue area and the other on his unresponsive stomach.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
He bent down deeply and used his already sore throat to force out a series of dry coughs that became louder and louder.
The feeling of nausea came late, but before it could be washed away by the cold water he had just drunk as Wen Zheliu had wished, it had already disappeared completely, like fog that dissipated with the wind.
My stomach churned, as if an invisible hand was squeezing it.
The pain gradually moved downwards, and the abdomen made gurgling sounds, like the secret language of a monster.
When Wen Zheliu heard this, his body stiffened.
"Are you hungry?" Xiaobai asked cautiously.
"...No." Wen Zheliu shook his head and moved his elbow slightly, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
It would be fine if I was really hungry, but unfortunately I'm not. This feeling of urgency and heaviness in my stomach is obviously a sign of stomach upset.
His abdomen twisted violently, and Wen Zheliu suddenly turned over and got off the bed. His movements were so fast that even his sleeves left afterimages. Unfortunately, his head was still dizzy, and his hands and feet were weak from lying for so long that he almost bumped into the table.
Xiaobai was terrified watching from the side, and hurriedly reached out to support him: "You are still unconscious, why did you get up?"
Wen Zheliu opened his thin lips and was about to say that he had a diarrhea, but then he remembered that Xiaobai had already told him before he brought him water that drinking cold water would cause diarrhea, and he didn't care at all. His face turned red and he could only stammer.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Wen Zheliu's voice was as light as the wind, but it still aggravated the pain in his stomach.
But after taking a few steps to the bathroom, his lips turned white.
The cold water was causing a huge commotion in his stomach. Wen Zheliu covered his stomach and had diarrhea. He broke out in cold sweats. He barely felt that his stomach was feeling better, but he felt dizzy again.
He lowered his head with difficulty, trying to relieve the dizziness, but was caught off guard and vomited with a "wow".
“Hmm…”
Every part of his body seemed to be soaked in snow, the coldness seeping into his bones. Wen Zheliu curled up tightly into a ball, but could not feel any warmth at all.
My stomach is empty, but it still feels uncomfortable.
In just a few breaths, Wen Zheliu had bent over and changed dozens of positions on the toilet.
The vision in front of him was flickering, and he could only keep himself conscious by repeating He Jiuyue's name over and over again, letting the mixed feelings of love and hate completely occupy him.
No, I can’t faint, at least not in the toilet.
"noob."
Cold sweat flowed down his cheeks to his chin. Wen Zheliu felt dizzy when he moved and had no strength all over his body. He felt that he would fall if he stood up and walked out. Helplessly, he could only call Xiaobai outside in a hoarse voice.
Xiaobai came in as soon as he heard the sound. He smelled a faint strange smell in the air and stood there at a loss. Wen Zheliu was still trying hard, but he lost his temper as soon as he opened his mouth.
He had managed to hold back vomiting and diarrhea, but he was completely exhausted and didn't have the energy to speak anymore.
"Help me out." Wen Zheliu gestured with his hands.
Xiaobai put his hand on his shoulder and felt water on his hand. He was shocked and kept saying "Are you okay?" to himself. But he was frightened by Wen Zheliu's pale face and realized that Wen Zheliu was in extreme pain and couldn't even speak. He didn't dare to say anything more and just helped him out obediently.
Wen Zheliu lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
Finally, his stomach and intestines stopped working and were not bothering him for the time being. He had to take this opportunity to rest and replenish his strength, otherwise he would find it difficult to cope with the upcoming fierce battle.
Even though he had just had a commotion in the bathroom and it seemed that he wouldn't be bothered by gastrointestinal problems tonight, Wen Zheliu placed his hand on his lower abdomen, feeling the faint twitching skin, and knew that things were not that simple.
I'm afraid there will be several fierce battles tonight.
Pingyang County.
He Jiuyue was alone in the room, sleeping soundly. She vaguely felt a dark shadow flash past her side. She grabbed the dagger tied to her leg and pressed it against the person's neck.
"who?"
"Sister, it's me."
The man raised his arms. Even though he was being held hostage by her, his voice was still as gentle as jade. He seemed like a modest gentleman who adhered to the principle of "a gentleman uses words, not fists" and would treat others with courtesy even in danger.
"Liu Yun informed Adjutant Chen in advance and announced several times outside. I thought you were aware of it, so I entered without permission. I didn't intend to disturb you. I'm really sorry."
He shouted a few times outside, why didn't she hear it?
The room was dim. He Jiuyue brought the visitor to the candlestick and lit the candle first. After seeing the visitor's face clearly and confirming that the three parts of his face and five eyes belonged to He Liuyun and there was no sign of forgery in his eyebrows and eyes, he let him go.
It turned out to be He Liuyun. Not only did she not realize that it was him, she was also too late to realize it.
But she had been in the army for many years, and she had always been alert and vigilant. She even slept with one eye open on guard. How could she not notice it?
Could it be that she was exhausted from running around for days and slept too deeply?
"Sorry, I didn't recognize you at first."
He Jiyue put away the dagger, lowered his eyes, and hid the doubt in his eyes: "What do you want from me?"
"It's not a big deal. Liuyun thought you were free, so I came to bother you. If it's inconvenient for you, Liuyun..." Seeing that He Liuyun apologized again and said a lot of unimportant polite words, as if he was going to give a long speech, He Jiuyue held his forehead with his hand.
Tsk, it’s from my father-in-law.
If she had time and was not in a hurry to catch up on sleep before leaving tomorrow, it would not be that she did not have the patience to listen to He Liuyun.
But she just doesn't have the time.
"So what do you want to ask?" She raised her hand first, but failed to stop him from talking, so she had to put her fingers on his temples and interrupt him.
"Liu Yun just wanted to ask, is Sister really going to take Father and me to the capital?" He Liu Yun twisted his fingers. "But hasn't His Majesty been keeping a close eye on Pingyang County? All the civil and military officials are watching you. Taking us back would only increase Sister's burden."
"That's not something you should worry about."
When young He Jiuyue left Pingyang County, He Liuyun was just a baby who couldn't even speak, and He Jiuyue couldn't communicate with him at all.
So now when she talks to him, she first has to hold her nose and endure his chatter, and then when her ears are about to become callused and she reaches the point where she can no longer accept it, she can only interrupt him and ask him to stop talking about something else.
"Since I said I would take you out, I am sure I can do it. Just follow me obediently."
He Jiyue didn't have time to explain everything to him. She quelled his curiosity with a few words. Just as she was about to fall back to sleep, she noticed He Liuyun standing there, showing no sign of leaving. "Why aren't you leaving? What's going on?"
He Liuyun hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the pale sky and said, "Sister Chen Jin asked Liuyun to call you out of the house, saying that the time has come."
He Jiyue's back, which was half paralyzed on the bed, straightened instantly: "What time is it?"
"One quarter past noon." He Liuyun replied.
He Jiuyue stepped into her boots, reached out and grabbed the outer robe hanging on the rack, and walked out as fast as the wind. After taking a few steps, she found that He Liuyun did not keep up, so she paused and waved to him to keep up with her.
"Dad, have you and I packed your bags?"
She straightened her clothes as she walked out, not even paying attention to He Liuyun. It didn't seem like she was talking to her brother, but rather like she was inspecting her subordinates.
"Everything is packed." He Jiuyue walked quickly, and He Liuyun had to quicken his pace to keep up. He stayed in the mansion all year round, and the most intense exercise he did every day was walking around the mansion with Zhong Zian. Now that he moved faster, a light pink appeared on his face.
"Yeah." He Jiuyue noticed that He Liuyun was having difficulty following, but did not stop for him. She just said lightly, "Go into the house and help Dad out. I'll wait for you in three quarters of an hour."
He Liuyun wanted to ask, "Are you only waiting for three quarters of an hour?", but when he looked up breathlessly, He Jiuyue had already walked away.
"Princess, the troops are all assembled."
Chen Jin had been following He Jiuyue since she left the house. He didn't want to interrupt her conversation with He Liuyun, so he kept silent. When he saw He Liuyun being sent away, he hurried out and said, "It's just that the guards at the city gate have made a slight commotion. Look..."
He Jiyue frowned: "I gave the jade talisman to them, but they still refused to acknowledge it?"
"It's not that they don't recognize him," Chen Jin scratched his head. "They just said this is a serious matter and they need to consult His Majesty before taking any action."
He Jiuyue only brought a team of elite soldiers, which was convenient when they came here, but now that they were about to leave the city, their momentum seemed not intimidating enough.
But if a fight really breaks out, she will not be unable to protect Zhong Zian and He Liuyun.
She stepped onto the cloud and said calmly, "Let them try and stop me if they dare."
As she expected, she took a strong attitude and led the troops out, and none of the guards dared to stop her.
"Sister, can I ride a horse outside?" He Liuyun poked his head out. "It's too stuffy in the carriage."
"Okay." He Jiuyue found a pony for him and protected him behind him.
He Liuyun was dressed in goose yellow velvet and looked more beautiful than a flower. He Jiuyue stared at him for a while, always feeling that something was missing. After leading the army forward for dozens of miles, he suddenly realized what was going on.
She also bought this set of clothes for Wen Zheliu.
It is even better to wear it with Wenzheliu.
What is her advantage? Her slender waist? Or her charming face?
She couldn't explain it clearly.
As the team headed north, the snow fell heavier and heavier. He Jiuyue stared at the falling snowflakes in the sky, inexplicably thinking of the ice-cold beauty who was willing to melt into a soft and gentle beauty in front of her.
His hands and feet were so cold, but his lips were warm and soft.
