Chongxi [rebirth]

There was only one lamp lit in the study, and the faintly jumping flames were not enough to illuminate the whole study.

Ye Yunting squinted his eyes, and after getting used to the dim light, he groped towards the direction of the light source.The candlelight was behind the screen, casting a hazy silhouette of a person on the screen.

He walked around the screen and saw the man in the dim candlelight.

Li Fengqi was sitting in a wheelchair, looking out the window with his back turned to him, the cool night wind was blowing the rice paper on the desk, Ye Yunting glanced at it, only vaguely saw the crazy and scribbled writing on it.

"My lord?" Ye Yunting called out and approached him slowly.

"Are you okay?" He walked around in front of Li Fengqi to check on his situation.

Li Fengqi raised his head only now, he didn't know whether it was from the pain or from the cool wind, his face was a little pale, and there was no blood on his lips.He shook his head slowly, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I'm fine."

"Shall I ask a doctor?" Ye Yunting frowned, touched his leg carefully, and lowered his voice: "Does it still hurt?"

"No need." Li Fengqi lowered his eyes: "It doesn't hurt anymore."

But the more he said it didn't hurt, the more Ye Yunting felt uncomfortable.

He was thinking about the servant saying that he hadn't come out since he entered the study, even dinner was useless.I can't help feeling a little annoyed and regretful, if only I came back earlier today.

"Then I'll push you back to your room first?" Ye Yunting discussed with him in a soft voice: "It's not okay to sit here anyway, the night wind is very cold, and it will be even more troublesome if you catch the wind and cold."

Li Fengqi pursed his lips and looked at him. Originally, he was just acting to make him feel sorry for him, but he cares about him in such a soft voice, and he couldn't help showing a bit of the depression all day long.

"I don't get a cold, is the eldest son very concerned?"

Ye Yunting looked surprised, subconsciously said: "Naturally."

After finishing speaking, he felt that the words were too ambiguous, and said with an unnatural expression: "The residual poison in the prince's body has not been cleared, adding wind and cold is always bad."

Li Fengqi listened to his explanation, as if he was afraid that he might misunderstand something, his eyes became darker and darker.

He suppressed the emotions in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Eldest Young Master, for your concern."

Ye Yunting felt that his "thank you" was a bit weird and not sincere.It seemed to be mocking him.

He took a look at Li Fengqi, but couldn't see the emotion on his face, so he picked up the candlestick and pushed him away from the study.

After returning to the main room, he asked Ji Lian to bring hot water, and after Li Fengqi had been scrubbed clean and got on the bed, he stretched out his hand to roll up his trouser legs.

Li Fengqi's eyebrows twitched, and he grabbed his arm subconsciously: "What are you doing?"

"Let me take a look at your legs." Ye Yunting said, "You don't want to see a doctor, and you don't know what's going on now."

He felt that Li Fengqi was too negative, there were thousands of doctors in this world, there might be a strange person who could detoxify him, but he didn't believe any of them, when will this leg heal?

"What's interesting." Li Fengqi grabbed his wrist, his expression flashed a little unnaturally, but he didn't let go.

Ye Yunting stretched out his hand to paw him, with a persistent expression: "I want to see."

Li Fengqi and him looked at each other for a while, but finally lost. He let go of his hand, leaned on the soft pillow, closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Look, just don't be scared."

Ye Yunting then carefully rolled up his trouser legs to check his legs, and then gasped for breath, and said in a gaffe, "How could this be?"

I saw that the skin on Li Fengqi's legs had turned blue-purple, and the tendons and veins were curved and protruding, like ugly long insects lying on it.Obviously when he took care of Li Fengqi before, although his legs could not move, he looked like an ordinary person.Later, the crisis in the palace was temporarily resolved, and Li Fengqi didn't ask him to take care of him anymore, and he was always waiting for him to wash and wash, so he didn't pay attention to his physical condition all the time.But he didn't expect his legs to become like this.

Li Fengqi's expression was indifferent: "The poison in the whole body is suppressed to the legs, so it is naturally scary to look at."

"But won't it affect the legs if this goes on?" Ye Yunting's brows and eyes were filled with worry. Li Fengqi was poisoned earlier, his tendons were blocked and he couldn't move normally, but after gradually suppressing the poison, he recovered for a few days and he was no different from a normal person.But now looking at the condition of his legs, he is worried that even if the poison is detoxified in the future, his legs will no longer be able to move freely.

"It won't be affected for the time being," Li Fengqi said.

After speaking, he saw that his face was too worried, and explained: "I have done some research on this cold poison, and ordinary doctors can't cure it. I have sent people to find someone who can cure it." As for when it will be found, It depends on God's will.

"Doesn't Han Chan have the antidote?" Ye Yunting's eyes flashed sternly: "Sending someone to sneak into the Taifu's mansion to steal it is better than waiting."

He said this out of anger, if he was a normal person, he would never mention these dirty tricks.

Li Fengqi listened, the stuffiness in his chest dissipated,

Ye Yunting was really worried for him.

"Young Master, you think I haven't thought about it?" He chuckled and shook his head again: "I had sent someone to sneak into the Taifu's Mansion long ago, but Han Chan was too cunning to find out where the antidote was hidden. .”

Ye Yunting was a little disappointed: "Then find something to do with him and force him to hand over the antidote."

"Yeah." Li Fengqi looked at him and smiled: "It's just that I can't support myself alone, and Zhu Lie at the fifth watch is a reckless man who only knows how to punch and kick, so I need the eldest son to give advice."

He does not mean that.

A casual sentence reminded Ye Yunting of her husband's suggestion.His mind suddenly became confused, he forced a smile and said "naturally".

The two of them went to bed early that night, Ye Yunting turned off the lights, and pretended to sleep wrapped in a quilt with his back to Li Fengqi, but there were two voices in his mind that kept seeing each other.

One said: "Sir, you are right. You have been yearning for famous mountains and rivers to travel around for a long time. This is a rare opportunity. As long as you agree, you will no longer have any constraints."

Another said: "King Yong'an is kind to you, and now surrounded by wolves, if you leave, it is hard to guarantee that you will not repeat the same mistakes as in the previous life. If you stay, at least you can remind him of the future. Famous mountains and great rivers are always there. That, earlier or later, doesn't really matter."

The two voices tore and saw each other for a long time, but in the end they didn't come to a result.Ye Yunting was dizzy, let out a breath quietly, closed his eyes tightly, and forced himself to sleep.

It didn't take long to close my eyes, but I heard a thin gasp suddenly coming from the side.

Ye Yunting was about to turn around to look, but felt that Li Fengqi sat up, and then raised his hand to pull the bedside bell.As soon as his body froze, he missed the opportunity to move.

The person beside him has already taken the robe and put it on.

After a while, Ye Yunting felt that the door opened, and a person came in, and the sound was five o'clock.

After that, the two didn't communicate with each other again, Ye Yunting could only guess what they were doing based on the rustling of their voices - Wu Geng pushed the wheelchair, Li Fengqi sat on it, and then the two left the back room lightly.

He didn't sit up until they left.

He recalled the movement he heard just now, at first he thought that Li Fengqi had something to do and it was inconvenient for him to know.But after careful recollection, it doesn't feel like it.

That forbearable panting sound always made him very concerned.

After hesitating for a moment, he still put on his coat and followed out quietly.

It was already late at night, and all the lights in the palace were turned off, except for a few lanterns that had been left for the night.Ye Yunting searched around and found that only the study room was still lit.Then I went to the study to find it.

He walked lightly to the door, but saw that the door of the study was slightly closed, and there were faint voices coming from inside.

Wu Geng said: "What else does your lord need?"

"No, you go out." It was Li Fengqi's voice.His voice was full of forbearance, as if he was enduring something.

The sound of footsteps came from the room again, from far to near, it was about to come out at five o'clock.

Ye Yunting subconsciously hid around the corner.

After leaving the study at five o'clock, he walked out of the yard.He waited for the people to leave before he quietly approached the study and sneaked in lightly.

Wu Geng, who was hiding in the dark, saw this scene, and thought that the prince was also strange, and he would trick the princess into poisoning him when he didn't have the poison, but now that he really had an attack, he hid in the study without asking him to wake up the princess.

Now that the princess has found out by herself, it is better for him not to stop her.

Thinking so, Wu Geng hid in a tree.

And Ye Yunting has already quietly entered the study.

This time, a three-story floor-to-ceiling candlestick was lit in the study, illuminating the whole room brightly. Ye Yunting stood outside, and through the thin screen, he could clearly see the movements of the people behind him.

——Li Fengqi bit the cloth in his mouth, his trouser legs were rolled up, revealing his legs that were even more terrifying than before.He held a small knife in his hand, roasted it on the candle flame, and aimed at the curved and protruding veins...

Black blood gushed out from the wound, was sucked dry by him with cloth, and then was thrown casually into the copper basin by his side.His movements were agile, without any hesitation, only the sound of gasping from time to time exposed his pain.

Ye Yunting stood still in front of the screen, even seeing sweat dripping from his forehead, he didn't bother to wipe it off.

After treating one leg, Li Fengqi seemed to be in excruciating pain. He threw the knife into the copper basin, leaned his body into the wheelchair, and tightly clenched the armrest of the wheelchair with both hands. After a while, he finally got over the pain.He spit out the cloth in his mouth, took a slow breath, turned around to fetch the tea on the desk, and then saw the figure behind the screen.

"Fifth watch?"

He called out, but there was no one there.He looked intently again, his breath was suffocated, and he forced a smile: "I haven't slept yet, did I wake you up?"

Ye Yunting walked out from behind the screen and saw his bloody legs more clearly.His hand hanging by his side tightened: "Was the lord lying to me earlier?"

With the comparison at this time, he didn't understand why Li Fengqi said before that the cold poison attack was just trying to trick him.

Li Fengqi let out a "hmm".

"Then it's really poisonous now, so why do you avoid me?" Ye Yunting stared at him closely, persistently asking the bottom line.

"Is the eldest son really not understanding, or are you pretending to be confused with me again?" Li Fengqi suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, with undisguised aggression in his eyes.

Maybe the night can always magnify people's emotions, or the pain makes his patience worse, Li Fengqi's eyes are very deep, and he explained to him word by word: "I pretended to lie to you earlier to make you feel bad. Right now I'm really poisonous but I want to avoid you, because I don't want you to see me in a mess."

He took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in his body, and smiled slowly: "A man always hopes that he is tall and stalwart in the eyes of his sweetheart, instead of embarrassing and fragile. Do you understand?"

Ye Yunting's expression paused, and he looked away in a panic to avoid his too hot gaze: "I...understand."
