Chapter 136 The Queen of the Li Palace 5
"It's all my fault. If it wasn't for me, Mr. Tang, he wouldn't have been injured. It's all my fault..."

A crying voice escaped from the mouth of the woman in front of the bed.

Zihua was silent, still raising his hand to wipe Tang Hua's sweat with a wet sweat towel.

Not long after, Tang Hua woke up, seemingly awakened by the sound of sobbing. The first thing he said was, "Who is crying..."

"I, it's me, I'm sorry, Mr. Tang woke you up." The woman ran to the bed as if she was accepting a crime.

Zihua didn't know why she looked up, only to see her eyes were red, and the tip of her nose was a little red.

This is how long you have been crying.

Tang Hua frowned. He didn't understand why someone could cry for so long because of apologies. Besides, both of them were at fault. He overestimated his own strength and wanted to catch the snake for meat. She was too panicked and stood in the original position. It's fine if the ground doesn't move, but she wanted to move around. In order to save her, he had no choice but to sweep the snake away with his feet, but he was bitten without thinking.

He sighed, and said objectively: "It's not only your fault, but mine too. I think too highly of myself."

He was thinking, maybe Xie Yi didn't intend to recall him back to the court at all, what he was doing was plotting, it was all just words he used to comfort himself.

Tang Hua's whole state returned to being full of frustration.

Combining what they said now and what she heard in a daze before, Zihua finally understood. It seemed that the person standing beside her was the girl from the Li family that the two peasant women had mentioned before.

"Little sister, I want to go home." Tang Hua looked at Zihua with sadness in his eyes.

Zihua was stunned for a moment, not understanding why he had become so sad when he was looking for meat just this morning.

She nodded, stood up from the chair, raised her hand to put Tang Hua's hand on her shoulder, and helped him walk out of the house step by step.

The girl from the Li family looked at them hesitantly, opened her mouth and closed it again.

On the other side, after Zihua carried Tang Hua away from Doctor Dazu's house for a while, Tang Hua withdrew from his grief and finally felt that his legs could walk normally.

He stopped, took away the hand that was on Zihua's, and said embarrassingly: "Little sister, cough... I can go alone."

Zihua glanced suspiciously at the coarse cloth wrapped around his leg, and the image of the two small blood spots flashed in her mind. Only then did she realize that he was just bitten by a snake and did not sprain his leg. She quickly let go.

The two brothers and sisters felt a little embarrassed at the moment, no wonder when they came out just now, the villagers looked at them strangely, especially Doctor Dazuo, the calm face that had announced that Tang Hua was fine before completely collapsed, his mouth opened, and his face was full of doubts. looked at them in amazement.

After tossing for a while, when Zihua and Tang Hua returned home, it was already late, and it seemed that the sky would darken after a meal.

Zihua washed his hands, lifted up the frozen pork hanging from the bottom of the well, and washed off the dust particles on the pork.

She carried the piece of meat to the kitchen, and lifted the knife to give the piece of meat a facelift.

There was a sound of knives chopping things in the kitchen, and soon a thick smoke rose from the tiled roof, and a scent was blown into the inner room by the cool wind along the kitchen door.

Tang Hua ate too many vegetarian dishes. He smelled this unusual aroma and couldn't suppress his curiosity and anticipation. He walked to the kitchen.

As soon as I walked in, I happened to see that the meat had been fried in the pot. The meat turned from red to white, shining brightly like a pearl in the emerald green. Even the vegetables that served as a foil also glowed a different bright green than usual.

Smelling the smell of meat, he thought of the tenderness of chewing it in his mouth. He couldn't help swallowing a few mouthfuls of water, and a lot of saliva was secreted in his mouth.

"Brother, can you bring the dishes into the house for me? I can start cooking one more dish." Zihua said while scooping the dishes onto the porcelain plate with a spoon.

Tang Hua nodded like he was pounding garlic, and took the porcelain plate anxiously. He accidentally burned his fingers by the hot air from the bottom of the plate. The corners of his mouth never drooped because of the scorching heat.

He placed the hot dishes on the dining table, and then consciously lit the candles to find a place of light for the gloomy room.

He sat at the table and waited for a while, seeing that Zihua hadn't returned, he reached into the plate with itchy hands and grabbed a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, sighed contentedly, the frustration from earlier dissipated because of this piece of meat Not a lot.

He suddenly felt that it was not bad to just live a life so simple, and he didn't have to live in fear every day, for fear that if he didn't do a good job, he would hurt his sister, or his brother who was born and died with him.

Thinking of his brothers, he wondered how they were doing.

His thoughts gradually returned to the days when he rode horses and defeated countless rebels. Zihua just brought the second dish of pork knuckle with peanuts. Smelling the more intense meat aroma, Tang Hua regained consciousness in an instant and hurriedly took it. Pick up the bowls on the table to hold two full bowls of hot rice.

Supper proceeded in silence and ended with a full belch.

Zihua was busy eating, not as fast as Tang Hua. Thinking of his injury today, she casually asked, "Brother, do you want to eat? If you want to eat, I will cook some more."

"Ah, no need." Tang Hua quickly returned to Zihua, but his head was lowered, and he didn't look up at her.

It's really embarrassing. He ate three-quarters of the whole plate of white rice. He ate happily and didn't notice that his sister was also eating. All the rice was eaten.

Thinking of how penniless he was wandering in the streets after he was demoted, if Zihua, who escaped from the cold palace, hadn't found him, he would either be a beggar or help others, and spend the rest of his life looking at others.

It's just that it's good to have a younger sister to help him, but at this moment because of this meal, he temporarily forgot his great ambitions, only to realize that he has been eating soft food all this time, and he has not paid anything for the poor family of the two of them. The guilt in my heart is getting stronger.

Zihua didn't know what Tang Hua was thinking, but she felt that his mood, which was obviously happy just because he had eaten a full meal, suddenly fell back to the previous depression in a straight line, and she couldn't help frowning because of his changeable mood.

In order to get Tang Hua excited again, she knocked on his door half an hour after the two of them finished their meal at night, and gave him two bunches of candied haws.

Although it is hot today, after she bought the candies, she quickly laid them flat and put them at the bottom of the well to cool, and the loose syrup condensed again.

Tang Hua was pleasantly surprised when he saw the well-congealed syrup. He felt that his sister was like a juggler on stage, always surprising him inadvertently.

After eating those two bunches of candied haws, Tang Hua felt that he should put aside his affairs with the court, and the first thing to do was to live a good life, at least one day it would be his turn to buy candy for his sister.
