Thinking

Qi Si was deep in sleep, his consciousness was chaotic, but he felt a gentle warmth slowly pouring into his body from nowhere, as if it was injecting some vitality into him, and the faintly suffocating heart was not so uncomfortable.

Xiao Zhi accompanied Qi Si all the way, checking his pulse and internal strength from time to time to make sure that he was fine.

The carriage never stopped, heading north all the way, and finally arrived at Changyu, the imperial capital of Yan Kingdom, before dark.

Changyu is located on a flat terrain, surrounded by mountains and rivers for [-] miles around the city. The city wall is tall and strong.

There is an endless stream of civilian caravans coming in and out of the city gate, pavilions scattered along the street, hawking, talking and laughing, and the smell of food and wine in restaurants and restaurants on the roadside, mixed with the smell of makeup, powder and ink, it is very lively.

Qi Si has never woken up, let alone feel the prosperity outside.

When they entered the Imperial Palace of Yan State, there were many palace gates, layers of vermilion walls, they got out of the carriage and then changed into sedan chairs, the attendants bowed their heads in silence along the way, Xiao Zhi stayed by Qisi's side all the time, Pei Nanxian accompanied them, and they finally arrived in the palace.

In the study, the Emperor of Yan Kingdom—Sudi Chen Jun was waiting for them.

"Lord Pei has arrived—Shizi Xiao has arrived—" the eunuch announced.

Emperor Su put down his hands and saw half of the memorial.

With hope in his arms, Xiao Zhi stepped over the high threshold of the palace gate and walked in, followed by Pei Nanxian.

Qi Si was unconscious, and looked very thin in Xiao Zhi's arms, his limbs were limp and dangling, as if he was floating.

Several people entered the study room, because they were military officials, Pei Nanxian knelt down on one knee to salute, Xiao Zhi also knelt down firmly on one knee with his thoughts in his arms.

Emperor Su raised his hand, signaling to flatten his body.

Emperor Su got up, bypassed the wide book case, walked in front of Xiao Zhi unhurriedly, bent slightly to look at Qi Si's face in his arms, frowned and said, "What's going on?"

The emperor of the Yan Kingdom stood in his late years, with an elegant appearance, his only eyes were as deep as a pool of water, and his body was luxurious.

Xiao Zhi only said: "It is said that after arriving in Baigu County, there were injuries on his body, his health was not good, and he often fell into a coma, but nothing serious."

After watching for a while, Emperor Su straightened up, patted Xiao Zhi on the shoulder, and said: "It's been a hard journey, take this prince to Jingyun Palace to rest, and see the imperial doctor."

Afterwards, a waiter came in and took Xiao Zhi to send Qi Si to the prepared bedroom to rest.

Sudi and Pei Nanxian remained in the study, as well as the clerks and doctors who followed Xiao Zhi to find someone.

Emperor Su listened to Wen Li's detailed description of the process, and then looked at the Qisi clothes and other evidence he brought back, finally nodded and said: "The envoy of the Jin Kingdom will come in a few days, and it is enough to confirm the identity at that time. Day, go down too."

Several people left.

Xiao Zhi sent Qisi to Jingyun Hall, Sudi dismissed a group of people, and also came to Jingyun Hall.

Emperor Su looked at the imperial doctor for a thoughtful examination, and finally came to the conclusion that "there is a difference in the heart arteries".

"How to cure it?" Emperor Su asked lightly after taking a sip of tea.

The imperial doctor lowered his head and couldn't answer for a long time - because they couldn't cure it at all, let alone talk about "how to cure it".

Seeing them like that, Emperor Su raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically, and said, "Why, are you going to kneel and cry for Your Majesty's mercy again?"

The imperial doctor shook his beard, knelt tremblingly, and said in a crying voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

Emperor Su didn't get angry, and put down the teacup: "Okay, get out."

The imperial doctor shook his beard and rolled quickly.

Emperor Su dismissed the palace servants, leaving Xiao Zhi behind, and asked him, "What do you think?"

Xiao Zhi knelt down on one knee, straightened his back, bowed his head and said: "The humble job has probed his heart and internal strength, and it is guessed that he was poisoned by someone."

Emperor Su raised his hand and said, "Get up and talk, don't kneel down."

Xiao Zhi got up, looked at Qi Si, and said: "It should be the poison of the Western Regions. Ordinary people will die if they take it, and their internal organs will gradually exhaust. Cardiac suffocation and coma are not life-threatening."

Emperor Su asked, "Can you solve it?"

Xiao Zhi nodded: "I have fed him once today, it is effective, but due to the effect of the medicine, he will be in a coma for two days, and he will recover after he wakes up."

"What poison?"

"Zhu Yanshou."

Su Di frowned, his eyes were calm and sharp, and asked again: "Do you have any doubts?"

Xiao Zhi shook his head: "Although Zhu Yanshou is a rare poison, it can be bought, so it is impossible to judge the poisoner."

Emperor Su pondered for a moment, and said: "Depress this matter, don't reveal it, you guard him these few days until the Jin Kingdom comes."

On the morning of the third day, in the Palace of Jingyun, all the palace servants looked solemn, coming in and out with their heads bowed and their voices collected.

The poison's name is "Zhu Yanshou", which really made Qi Si lose a lot of weight, looking extremely thin and pale.

Xiao Zhi stayed by his side, but due to the power of the antidote, Qi Si fell into a coma and could not wake up until he was completely detoxified.

At this moment, after Qi Si woke up, Xiao Zhi was still by his side. Qi Si had been in a coma for too long, his mind was very confused, and his sense of time was even more confused.

Seeing him wake up, Xiao Zhi asked the palace servants to fetch a hot towel and help Qi Si to apply it on his face.

After applying the hot towel with a faint scent of incense, Qi Si really felt better, no longer the confusion and anxiety just now.

"Better?" Xiao Zhi smiled and put his hand on Qi Si's wrist, exploring his pulse and internal strength.

Thinking about what happened before he fell into a coma, Qi recognized Xiao Zhi without struggling, and asked, "Where am I?"

"Changyu, the imperial capital of the Yan Kingdom, is in the palace," Xiao Zhi replied patiently.

"Who are you? You..." Qi Si didn't know how to ask for a while.

"I am the commander of the God and Shadow Guard of the Yan Kingdom. Your Majesty asked me to guard you and heal your poison." Xiao Zhi said patiently, "In three days, the envoys of the Jin Kingdom will come to confirm your identity."

Only then did Qi Si recall that they must have thought of themselves as Yu Ke!

Qi Si hurriedly grabbed Xiao Zhi's hand with his backhand, and said, "I don't..."

"Your Majesty has arrived—the envoy of the Jin Kingdom has arrived—"

Before Qi Si finished speaking, the eunuch's announcement came from outside the door, Qi Si's words were interrupted, and he and Xiao Zhi looked outside the door.

Xiao Zhi was a little surprised that the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin arrived early.

Emperor Su walked in front, followed a few steps behind by a tall man wearing a military officer's official uniform, with a heroic face and extraordinary momentum.

"Lu Yingqiu!"

Seeing Lu Yingqiu now, Qisi's tears welled up all at once, as if a lonely boat that had been drifting for a long time finally found a port.

He was so excited that he let go of Xiao Zhi's hand, turned over and was about to get out of bed, but because he had been lethargic for too long, his legs went limp and he almost fell down.

When Lu Yingqiu saw Qi Si's action, he thought about it, but Xiao Zhi who was beside Qi Si had quick eyesight and quick hands, he had already caught Qi Si, put him on the ground firmly, and supported him.

But Qi Si seemed to be crazy, broke away from Xiao Zhi, ran towards Lu Yingqiu crying, swept past Emperor Su like a gust of wind, plunged into Lu Yingqiu's arms, and hugged him hard without letting go.

Lu Yingqiu never thought that Qi Si would be like this.

The situation was quite different from what he had expected, and Qi Si had suffered a lot. He stretched out his arms to hold Qi Si, stroked his back lightly, comforted him, and said slowly: "It's all right."

Qi Si was choked up and weeping, but this smooth flow was a blessing, as soon as Lu Yingqiu comforted him, he burst into tears instead, his thin body hung on Lu Yingqiu's body like a leaf.

Only then did Lu Yingqiu realize that Qi Si hadn't seen her these days, she was too thin and seemed to be very weak, but it was inconvenient to ask for a while.

The emotions in Qi Si's heart suddenly opened the gate and vented violently.

For many days, life and death were at the line of death on the mountain road, and the long journey to Baigu County was fled alone. Every step he took in despair was like walking on a mountain of knives. His body was full of pain, and the suffocation that tortured him all the time while in a coma. Worrying about the long minutes that no one can trust and rely on, losing internal strength is like a waste of martial arts but still forced to be optimistic... All kinds of things were suppressed in his heart before, and he dared not relax. After seeing Lu Yingqiu, he can finally rely on trust, I can't hold back anymore.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Su was not in a hurry, and said: "General Lu will comfort you for a while, and I will come back tomorrow."

With longing in his arms, Lu Yingqiu turned his head and said calmly, "I'm sorry, thank you Your Majesty for your understanding."

There was no apology in his tone, because Qi Si and Yu Ke were in the country of Yan. He protected them all the way and handed them over to the country of Yan, but something happened later.

Emperor Su waved his hand very magnanimously, then turned and left, Xiao Zhi followed and sent away all the palace people, leaving Lu Yingqiu and Qi Si alone.

Qi Si didn't pay any attention to the emperor, anyway, since he entered the palace till now, he has never met Emperor Yan and saluted him.

After crying for a long time, he finally calmed down, looked up at Lu Yingqiu, held back for a long time, and asked, "Why did you come here?"

Lu Yingqiu was overwhelmed by his crying, he helped him to sit on the couch, reached out to fetch the towel beside him to wipe his face, and said, "I'm going to hurry up, I'm supposed to arrive in three days."

Qi Si nodded, and then looked at him carefully. Lu Yingqiu was still tall and handsome in the uniform of a general, but his eyebrows and eyes were indeed dusty.

Qi Si asked him: "Did you find him? I got separated from him..."

Lu Yingqiu nodded and said, "He's fine, let's not talk about this for now, you were injured? Why did you lose so much weight?"

Qi Si gasped a little from crying, and said, "I suffered some injuries, mainly because I was poisoned by an assassin..."

Lu Yingqiu frowned, and suddenly showed a sharp expression: "What poison? Has it been cured?" He reached out and pulled Guo Jisi's wrist, to feel his pulse.

Instead, Qi Si comforted Lu Yingqiu: "I don't know what the poison is. Yes, someone cured it for me. I woke up much better today."

Lu Yingqiu checked and found that there was no serious problem, only obvious weakness.

"How did you come here these days? I received your letter, why didn't you mention that you were poisoned and injured?"

Qi Si was aggrieved and said, "I didn't mention it, so you haven't come to me?"

Lu Yingqiu was a little helpless, and said: "I received your letter after I received the news that Yan Guo found you, and I came here immediately."

Qi Si was a little embarrassed, she cried so much that she didn't even look at the Emperor of Yan Kingdom, and even got into a childish tantrum with Lu Yingqiu.

"Then are you here to pick me up?" Qi Si asked with some expectation in his eyes.
