Chapter 54
"Do you still have that wine?" Huo Lingzhi asked him.
"My lord, do you want to drink too? Of course there is," Luo Zining leaned into his ear, as if whispering, "I also soaked a thousand-year-old mountain ginseng.What, the thousand-year-old ginseng is applauded, this thousand-year-old ginseng was taken out by Chen Bo from the warehouse, Chen Bo said that it would feel like the prince was seriously injured, and he was afraid that you would not live long, thinking about stewing soup to hang your life, youThis life is so hard, and I donβt need any ginseng soup, I poured it over to make wine.β
When Luo Zining was talking to him, warm air breathed into his ears, itching from the tips of his ears all the way to his heart.
He unnaturally distanced himself from Luo Zining, "Just talk when you talk, what are you doing so close?"
"Oh." Luo Zining saw that he distanced himself from him, and thought that he disliked him, so he felt very disappointed, but soon he felt that Huo Lingzhi disliked him and got too close. Isn't it a good thing?Not so curved.
"In a few days, I'll ask the doctor to take a look at your pulse. If they say you're fine, you can drink such a tonic wine, I'll give you another drink. They just came over now, and I haven't even had a bite of food.Calling them to do things is too much like a slave owner." Luo Zining pushed him to sit down in the pavilion in the yard, "Today we will have a cup of hot tea and some snacks, Zhao Xiaoyu's walnut cakeNot bad, just right for tea. Itβs a pity that there are too few fruits here.β
He said and took a sip of tea. He used to watch costume dramas, and the protagonists either ate sweet-scented osmanthus cakes or lotus flower cakes. There were neither sweet-scented osmanthus nor lotus flowers here. It was really difficult.
Fortunately, you can buy some dried sweet-scented osmanthus, but other fruits are difficult to deal with. It took a long time to transport them in ancient times, and they would have rotted long ago.
"I asked about it that day, and the fruits here are only plums, apricots, hawthorns, pears, and some small fruits that I didn't remember." He remembered that apples, oranges, watermelons, and strawberries could be grown in the north before crossing., Regarding those tropical fruits like coconut, dragon fruit, lychee, etc., it should not be possible to grow them.
In addition to growing vegetables, he should grow some fruits to eat and supplement vitamin C.
In the end, he chose to grow strawberries because he found a pack of strawberry seeds on the express shelf of the supermarket, and there were detailed planting instructions.
He couldn't wait to take the small flower pot to plant strawberries, and threw Huo Ling alone into the gazebo.
Huo Lingzhi drank hot tea and sighed, "I really can't rest for a moment."
...
After Dr. Zhen recuperated for a few days, he was called by Uncle Chen to feel the prince's pulse to see if there was any problem with his body.
When he was in Beijing before, the doctors in the mansion often went to ask the prince for a pulse, and Huo Lingzhi's slight cough would cause commotion in the whole mansion.
But Huo Lingzhi was very annoyed by this point. He didn't get any injuries on the battlefield, but after returning home, he became a paper man?
He also told Uncle Chen at that time that if he was in such trouble, he would not go home in the future and would live directly in the barracks.
Since then, Uncle Chen has had a shadow in his heart about the fact that the prince is not sick and he still has to ask a doctor to take his pulse, but today the princess asked him to call the doctor, and he went happily. If the prince gets angry,I can't blame him either.
He took Dr. Zhen and the others to meet the prince, and found that the prince was not angry, but seemed happy because Luo Zining cared about him and cared about his health.
Uncle Chen felt very sad when he saw it. He used to be the most important person around the prince, but now he has become Luo Zining.She never smiled at him, smiling at Luo Zining was like asking for money, and she smiled at Luo Zining when she had nothing to do.
The prince has really changed!It is estimated that the prince of their family is going to be completely extinct, and will only favor the princess in the future.
Although he was worried, he didn't dare to provoke Luo Zining, so he could only stand obediently by the side. If he provoked the concubine, he would not have a good life in the mansion, and he would have learned to be smart a long time ago.
Dr. Zhen felt the pulse of the prince, "The prince is in good health, but this leg..."
He looked at the prince's leg, hesitated to speak, as if he was a little scared to say something.
When Luo Zining heard this, his face was full of excitement. He didn't know how to ask if he could heal the prince's leg, but he asked first, "What's wrong with the prince's leg? Could something be wrong?"
After Luo Zining finished speaking, he couldn't make Uncle Chen anxious, and asked many questions beside him, which bored Huo Lingzhi. He waved his hand impatiently, and said to Uncle Chen, "Go down first if you have nothing to do.Don't worry about it here."
Uncle Chen felt uncomfortable, but he still had to obey his master's order, so he left aggrieved.
After he left, Dr. Zhen was even more afraid to speak, saying that the prince has a bad temper, and he has seen it today.
"It's okay, just say what you have to say, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake." Luo Zining asked him in a gentle tone.
Luo Zining's words reassured Dr. Zhen, and he replied, "Can I check the prince's leg?"
"Yes." Luo Zining finished speaking and looked at Huo Lingzhi, "Show him."
Huo Lingzhi said impatiently, "There's no need to read it."
"Look, look, doesn't the lord want to stand up? Hold hands with me and go for a walk or something?" Luo Zining whispered coquettishly in his ear.
Huo Lingzhi's heart softened all of a sudden, and he didn't want others to see Luo Zining acting like a baby, so he was the only one to see it.
Huo Lingzhi finally compromised and asked Dr. Zhen to look at his legs.
Dr. Zhen: "My ancestor has a set of acupuncture, which records a case similar to the prince's. The man was also disabled in both legs, and he recovered through this acupuncture."
"Really?" Luo Zining said pleasantly: "That's great, I wonder if you can give the prince a try."
"Well, I'm afraid..." Dr. Zhen was a little depressed.
"Is there any embarrassment? Let me hear it." Luo Zining asked anxiously.
"I have only read the records in that book. Although I remember the details in the book, I have never tried it, and the examples in the book are not very detailed.It's a little different, I'm afraid it will..." He didn't dare to say anything, if he didn't get cured, it would be even worse, he was afraid that he would lose his head.
"You don't need to waste your efforts. I know the situation of the king himself." Huo Lingzhi had long since lost hope for his legs. Although he lost his legs, his life now is quite enjoyable.
On the contrary, if his leg hadn't been injured, he might not even be alive now.
"My lord's leg is already like this. You can use it for experimentation. If it's worse, just don't put it to death." Luo Zining vaguely remembered that it was mentioned in the book that the miracle doctor just watchedAccording to the record in an ancestral medical book, the prince's leg was cured. He believed that Dr. Zhen would be able to cure the prince this time.
He was happy when he looked up and saw Huo Lingzhi looking at him sullenly: "You asked him to use this king as an experiment?"
Luo Zining twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, changed his tone, and said in a coquettish tone again: "I also want my husband to stand up. My husband's leg is healed, and I am also happy."
After he finished speaking, he didn't give Huo Lingzhi time to answer, then turned his head and said to Dr. Zhen: "You can treat with confidence, even if it doesn't work, we won't blame you. Just tell me what medicinal materials you need, no matter what medicinal materials,No matter how much effort and how much money it costs, I will ask someone to find it."
Dr. Zhen nodded repeatedly, and he could see that Luo Zining had a deep affection for the prince and his wife.
The princess is kind to their family, and he must do his best to repay the princess.
It is not enough to repay the kindness of the concubine just to stay leisurely in the palace, and occasionally treat a headache and brain fever. If he can heal the leg of the prince, that is the real repayment.
"Since the princess said she won't blame us, then I can treat her with confidence." Dr. Zhen said.
"One more thing." Luo Zining said to him in a low voice: "Don't tell anyone about treating the prince's leg, except the three of us, no matter who it is."
"I understand this, I understand." Dr. Zhen used to treat patients, and he would protect the privacy of patients, and would not go out and talk nonsense, and now his patient has become a prince, and it is no exception.
Dr. Zhen said that he had to prepare, and he would come over every day to heal the prince's leg.
After the discussion was over, Dr. Zhen went out.
Uncle Chen anxiously came over to him and asked him: "What's wrong with the lord's leg? Is it injured? Ever since the lord was injured, his legs have been numb. Even if he is injured, he can't feel it."
"I'm not injured. It's been cold at night recently, and a bit of cold wind has entered my body. Drink some medicine and it will be fine." Doctor Zhen thought that the princess said that no one should tell, so he naturally didn't tell Uncle Chen.
Uncle Chen asked him tentatively: "Aren't there any pinch marks, scratches, or signs of being abused?"
"What do you mean by that? Is someone in this house abusing the prince?" Dr. Zhen asked puzzled.
"No, no, this manor is good to the prince. I'm just afraid that some evil servants will bully the master behind our backs." Uncle Chen saw that his expression didn't look like he was lying, so he let go of his worries. It turned out that the princess really didn't abuse the prince.ah.
"My lord and my concubine are deeply in love with each other. My lord is under the care of my lord. How could anyone dare to disrespect my lord, let alone..." He didn't dare to continue, not to mention that Huo Lingzhi was rumored to be a beheading monster. Who would dare to bully his lord?Who doesn't want a head?This Uncle Chen is really strange, why he always says something inexplicable, no wonder the prince kicked him out just now.
Uncle Chen was still immersed in the joy that the prince was not abused by the concubine, and he didn't notice anything wrong with his expression.
At night, Luo Zining said that the weather has been getting warmer recently, so it's better to eat in the yard.
The main house is about to be completed, and they won't be able to live in this small courtyard for a few days. Although Luo Zining is looking forward to moving to the main house, he is reluctant to stay here. After all, this is the house where he has lived for so long.up.
Huo Lingzhi also agreed with him, and asked someone to set up a table in the yard, which happened to be able to watch the moon while eating.
In the end, Luo Zining regretted it, because Huo Lingzhi's poems were so popular that he started to write a poem, and even wrote the first sentence for him to continue the next sentence.
Huo Lingzhi didn't have any other intentions, he just thought that Luo Zining was the number one scholar, and writing poetry would definitely be a no-brainer, and he wanted to give Luo Zining a chance to show off his talent.
If Luo Zining knew what he was thinking, he would definitely say thank you for giving me a chance to make a fool of myself.
Luo Zining was anxiously thinking about how to escape this catastrophe, when he saw a pigeon flying over and landed straight on their table.
Luo Zining leaned back in fright, and when he regained his composure to look at it, Huo Lingzhi had already held the pigeon that had landed on their table in his palm.
Luo Zining's heart rose to his throat, and he said to himself, Gege, are you lost?Don't you always come over in the middle of the night and only land when you see me alone?What happened today?Are you crazy about the heat because the weather is heating up?
If Huo Lingzhi knew that he was the emperor's eyeliner and poisoned him, no matter how much he explained, Huo Lingzhi would not believe his words, would he?
He prayed that Huo Lingzhi would not find out, and rushed to grab the pigeon, "Where is the stupid pigeon, I just want to eat roasted pigeon these days, so I'll take it to Zhao Xiaoyu and ask her to give it to us."Baked, give us an extra meal."
Seeing how nervous he was, Huo Lingzhi knew that the pigeon was unusual. Upon closer inspection, there was indeed a letter tied to the pigeon's leg.
He tore down the letter and threw the pigeon to Luo Zining: "Here is the pigeon, go roast it."
"Then, what is that? Is this a carrier pigeon? Has it lost its way? Let's put the letter back quickly and let it deliver the letter to the real owner." Luo Zining stretched out his hands, "Husband, give me the letter, it's not good to peek at other people's letters."
"How do you know that this letter is not for this king?" Huo Lingzhi kept looking at his expression, and the more he looked at it, the more chilling he became. Luo Zining really had something to hide from him. Could it be that the relationship during this time was all hypocrisy??
Are those confessions fake too?Luo Zining doesn't like him?
"Really? Someone wrote a letter to the prince? Let me read it for you." Luo Zining felt that he was dead, what should he do?
Those tricks of being coquettish, rogue, and deliberately making trouble before are not working well now, right?He glanced at Huo Lingzhi's waist. Huo Lingzhi didn't have a sword. If he started to escape now, would he be able to escape successfully?
But before he stood up, Huo Lingzhi grabbed his wrist. He hadn't felt Huo Lingzhi grab him so hard for a long time, which made his heart sink, "After you read that letter,Will it kill me?"
"Is your feeling for me true?" Huo Lingzhi asked him.
"Of course, of course it's true." Luo Zining said.
"Let's talk after reading the letter." Huo Lingzhi said as he opened the letter.
When Huo Lingzhi read the letter, his heart beat like a drum, but soon he felt something was wrong.
The color of the letter paper was slightly different from the letter paper he received every time, and there was a medicine wrapped in it. Although it was small, it still had a sense of presence. When Huo Lingzhi opened the letter just now, there was no medicine.drop down.
Even if he couldn't see clearly because of his poor eyesight, a shrewd person like Huo Lingzhi couldn't have missed it.
Is this carrier pigeon really not the emperor's carrier pigeon?
With a trace of luck in his heart, he secretly watched Huo Lingzhi's expression.
Huo Lingzhi frowned, probably very angry, but he hesitated a little, why could he be so angry?
"Husband?" Luo Zining asked him in a low voice, "Here, what did you write in this letter?"
Huo Lingzhi put the letter on the table and pressed it with the palm of his hand, "Did you say it yourself, or let me expose you?"
"Is there any difference between this?" Luo Zining asked him cautiously.
"It depends on how long you want to live." Huo Lingzhi said in a cold voice.
"Ah, that..." Luo Zining didn't know if the emperor had changed the letter paper, even if it wasn't really the emperor's letter, his nervous reaction just now had to be explained, so he decided to take a gamble, "ActuallyActually, I have a lover in Beijing, he always writes to me..."
"Lover?" Huo Lingzhi's eyes widened, but he didn't expect to have an unexpected harvest.
Luo Zining saw the way his eyes were burning, why did he think that Huo Lingzhi reacted more when he heard the word "lover" than when he knew he was a spy?
"Before, when I was young..." Luo Zining continued to make up nonsense in a serious manner.
"When you were young? When you were young, you didn't study and had sex with a man? Who was that man?" Huo Lingzhi was so angry that he thought he was the first man Luo Zining cared about., I didn't expect that there was another one in front of him.
"That person is not a big shot, I told him that I have a husband now, and told him not to write any more letters, but he just refused to listen, alas." Luo Zining sighed heavily, wanting to take thisThings get messed up.
But Huo Lingzhi became even more angry, "Did you write back to him?"
"No, no, didn't I persuade him not to disturb me? I told him that my current husband is a hundred times better than him. He is not only handsome, but also has a good figure. He is also good to me, protects me, and treats me well."I am gentle and considerate, and he is incomparable in this life." Luo Zining was tormented in his heart, so he might as well tell the truth.
But the emperor used the original owner's family to threaten the original owner to poison Huo Ling. He knew from the perspective of God that the emperor had killed the original owner's family long ago, but neither Huo Lingzhi nor the original owner knew about it.His family members had died a long time ago, and Huo Lingzhi asked him about the source of the news and asked him to produce evidence, but he couldn't.
With family on one side and husband on the other, can Huo Lingzhi believe that he doesn't care about his family's life or death for his husband?Even if they believed it temporarily, there was a hidden danger between them. What if Huo Lingzhi became suspicious of him in the future and felt that it would be better to just kill him?
Although he had never seen Huo Lingzhi kill someone with his own eyes, he had heard the voice. Huo Lingzhi never hesitated to kill someone. He raised his sword and killed. He didn't want to die.
He could only bite the bullet and continue to make up: "That person is my brother's friend, he is an insignificant person, even if he said his name, you have never heard of it."
Huo Lingzhi: "Are you protecting him? Are you afraid that the king will kill him?"
"No, no, I said." Luo Zining thought for a while, and simply made up a name, "That person is Luo Yu, a distant relative of our family..."
Luo Zining said aggrievedly: "He doesn't have much promise, I definitely won't abandon the prince because of him, it's great to be a princess, she's well-clothed and well-fed."
"Where did you come from?" Huo Lingzhi had long forgotten those suspicions just now, and his mind was full of his princess who had been communicating with a wild man, and that his princess might have a relationship with that wild man.Ran.
"Isn't it rich and beautiful now? Eat whatever you want, do what you want to do, and soon you will live in a big house with floor heating. He doesn't have such a big house for me to live in, so I don't want to go through hardships with him."What about the day?" Luo Zining secretly looked at Huo Lingzhi's expression, feeling why Huo Lingzhi was getting more and more angry, and which of Huo Lingzhi's reverse scales did he touch?
"With your ability, is it difficult to start from scratch? How much money have you made in just a few months? Even if you leave with him, you can still earn another family business, and that person is not a useless person,I still love you very much." Huo Lingzhi said.
"If the prince didn't back me up, wouldn't all the money I earned be taken away by the corrupt prefect? Besides, what does it have to do with me if he loves me? I don't love him, I only love the prince." Luo Zining wanted to hurry up.End this conversation and get back to normal life.
The prince talked to him along the subject of his lover for a long time, and the carrier pigeon must not be the emperor's carrier pigeon.
He wanted to know who wrote that letter and what did it say?Let him know who the owner of the pigeon is, he will slap them both!
When Huo Lingzhi heard Luo Zining say he loved him, he felt a numb feeling in his heart, as if he was very happy and a little bit happy.
"You said you love me? Who knows if you said the same thing to him." Huo Lingzhi stared at him closely, wanting to find a flaw in him, but afraid of finding a flaw in him.
"I never said that, I just said don't disturb my life anymore." Luo Zining raised his hand: "I swear to God."
"Bring me the letter he wrote to you." Huo Lingzhi said.
"Tear it up, being entangled by my ex, of course I was so angry that I tore it up after reading it, maybe I still want to treasure it." Luo Zining opened his mouth wide and wanted to pretend to cry, "My lord, why don't you believe me and doubt me every day?My life is too bitter, and I have paid for it with my heart.β
"Don't pretend to cry." Huo Lingzhi found that the way he cried was very similar to the way he pretended to cry in front of the magistrate before. He was not calm before and was always fooled by Luo Zining. Today he is unusually calm and clear-headedIn such a situation, Luo Zining couldn't be fooled by some small tricks.
"I didn't pretend to cry!" Luo Zining pretended to cry louder.
"Okay, you can cry, as long as you want to cry, I will stay here with you for as long as you want." Huo Lingzhi said coldly.
"How can you believe my feelings for you?" Luo Zining asked him pretending to wipe away his tears.
"Prove it to me." Huo Lingzhi said coldly.
"How do you prove it? Do you want me to cut out my heart and show you?" Luo Zining angrily tugged at his arm, but he couldn't pull it off.
"Don't talk nonsense, prove it with practical actions." Huo Lingzhi didn't know how to prove his liking for a person, he felt that as soon as he let go, Luo Zining ran away and went to live with his lover, GodThe earth is big, and he might not be able to see Luo Zining again in the future, so he has been holding Luo Zining's hand to prevent people from leaving, which can be regarded as a kind of delay.
But when Luo Zining heard this, his heart trembled in fright. The actual action that the prince said was to have sex with him, right?
He is a good straight man, but he really can't accept sleeping with another man for a while.
He went to see Huo Lingzhi secretly, and found that Huo Lingzhi didn't intend to let him go, and he didn't dare to procrastinate, fearing that if time dragged on, Huo Lingzhi would not wait for him to take the initiative, but would arrest himGo to bed, force it a few times...
His delicate little flower can't stand this kind of torture!
Luo Zining was heartbroken, leaned over and quickly kissed him on the cheek, "Is that enough to prove that I like you? I've never kissed him before."
Huo Lingzhi didn't expect him to come so suddenly, he froze on the spot, let go of his hand, and let Luo Zining run away.
Luo Zining not only ran away, but also snatched the letter away.
Luo Zining jumped a few steps away and opened the letter. While reading it, he muttered to himself, "I want to see which grandson wrote the letter!"
The letter was quite long and the characters were very small. He read it for a long time before he could see it clearly. It turned out to be Fang Ziye's letter.
Fang Ziye said that he did not tell the emperor about the real situation of the prince. He told the emperor that the prince had been abused by the princess according to the request of the princess.
Then he also said that he discovered some unusual things. He accidentally discovered that the doctor he brought last time was mixed with the emperor, and he almost killed the prince.
In addition to this, he also discovered some other things, but he didn't have a clue yet, so he didn't tell the prince, so as not to worry the prince, and finally he said how he missed him.
"My lord, blow me up! This is obviously a letter written by Fang Ziye, why did you lie to me? Besides, this letter is very nasty, what is the difference between it and a love letter? I still suspect that you have an affair with Fang Ziye." Luo ZiningAngrily, she tore up the letter, and couldn't help stepping on her feet: "My lord, if you treat me like this again next time, I will really run away with my lover."
What he said was angry, where did the lover come from?
After he finished speaking angrily, he turned around and was about to go back to the house. Before he could take two steps, he was grabbed by Huo Lingzhi who was catching up. He fell backwards and sat on Huo Lingzhi's lap.
Huo Lingzhi couldn't hear the word lover now, he pinched Luo Zining's chin angrily, "Is it necessary to make you completely become my king's person so that you don't miss your lover?"
Luo Zining was so frightened that his soul was about to fly, "My lord, I was wrong, I will never talk about looking for a lover again, please let me go, you are my good husband, kiss your good husband, please forgive me!".β
Hearing his coquettish voice, Huo Lingzhi remembered the kiss just now, "You kissed too quickly just now, I can't feel your love for me, kiss again."
Luo Zining: "???"
Luo Zining couldn't do it if he didn't want to, he was afraid that if he didn't kiss now, he would become the prince's man in a while.
As long as he closed his eyes, he leaned over and kissed Huo Lingzhi's cheek. This time he stayed for two seconds, afraid that the prince would say that he kissed too quickly, and if he wanted to kiss again, it would be better to finish it all at once.
Huo Lingzhi felt his soft lips sticking to his face, and simply kissed his cheek, but his whole body seemed to be soaked in a honey pot. He didn't just want to be kissed on the face,He wished he could swallow Luo Zining whole, to see if this person was sweet.
...
The next morning, Luo Zining sat on the bed in a daze. What did he do yesterday?!He is a straight man, and he actually kissed a man's face!twice!He, he is not clean!
Huo Lingzhi also woke up, sat up and looked at him in a daze, and asked, "Why are you in a daze? Are you thinking about your lover again?"
"No, no!" Luo Zining waved his hands again and again, his scalp tingles when he heard the word lover!
Why couldn't he think about fabricating a lover yesterday to cause trouble for himself?If he had known that Fang Ziye had written the letter, he would have acted stupid to the end!
Now have kissed on the face, next time can't kiss, the next time will be...
"No? I don't believe it," Huo Lingzhi pointed to his cheek, "Prove that you don't think about others."
The author has something to say:
My lord, once the gate of the new world is opened, it cannot be closed.
Prince: "Then don't worry about it, keep it open."
Luo Zining: "I'm shivering."
Prince: "Squeamish, trembling"
Luo Zining: "!!!"
