There was only a commotion, and as the bright torches swarmed, the night watchmen in the palace saw two dark shadows under the tree, and shouted sharply in this direction.

"Save people..." Ah Sheng had just uttered the words, but Xun Yu raised his hand to cover his mouth, and persuaded him in a low voice: "Don't call them."

After saying that, he slowly sat up from her arms, gritted his teeth, and supported her shoulders to stand firm from the ground. His voice was still calm and gentle, and he said to the guards who came forward: "I just drank without restraint. It is not a thief who accidentally slipped and fell to the ground."

"Lingjun, take care of your health." When everyone saw that it was Shangshu Ling Xunyu, they all respectfully knelt down and asked, "I am blind and blind, please forgive me for offending Lingjun."

Xun Yu waved his hand: "It's okay, you all go away."

When the back of the last person disappeared, he suddenly staggered forward and fell forward. Perhaps he was top-heavy, but he couldn't stand still for a while.

"I'll find an imperial doctor for you. They are skilled in medicine, and they must have a way to save you." A Sheng pulled him to sit on the ground sadly, eager to rush out, and said in a hurry.

"Don't look for the imperial doctor!" Xun Yu suddenly stopped her, and stretched out his hand to grab her body that had just stepped out of one leg.

"Ahem——" He covered his heart, a thin blue and white line had been bitten out of his lower lip, "Go to the doctor's office and ask."

Hearing this, Ah Sheng didn't dare to delay for a moment, took him by the hand and half trotted to Zhumen, where a carriage was waiting for her when she came.

The coachman had an unremarkable appearance with a simple and honest face, his rough long hair piled behind his head, and his coarse clothes were sloppy, but he was the senior colonel Shi Luhong who attended the school affairs office.

A Sheng helped Xun Yu into the carriage, gave Lu Hong a wink, and said in a suppressed voice, "Go to the clinic."

The carriage rattled and the wooden wheels rolled past. She and Xun Yu sat alone, silent in the dark and narrow carriage.

"Why are you doing this?" A Sheng suddenly took a deep breath, and the tears were held back without him seeing, even though it was mixed with uncontrollable sobs.

Xun Yu glanced at her.

The wind outside the car was very cold, and the stars in the middle of the night were lonely and bleak, scattered all over the sky, making her eyes dim.

She stared at him and said softly: "You drank poisonous wine for the emperor, you are sacrificing yourself to protect the two of them, right?"

Seeing that Xun Yu didn't answer, she stabilized her body that was constantly shaking due to the bumps of the carriage, and continued: "You can't put His Majesty in danger, and you don't want him to suspect that Meng De ordered the poison in the wine. After all, at this moment, the person most likely to want to kill the emperor is Cao Mengde. In fact, you know the intention of the poisoner best. to the end."

The moonlight came in, dyeing his side face with quiet and resolute strength, the bridge of the nose was high, and the browbones were elegant, outlining the perfect outline of a man.

It's just that the blood stains on the clothes are mottled, which is particularly shocking.

And his white hair, bit by bit seeped into the originally dark temples, wantonly spread inch by inch of entangled white snow, and the color could not be discerned under the moonlight.

How could he be old?The Xun Wenruo in my memory should always be young and vigorous, with a peerless elegance.

The irony is that only at this moment, he would lean on Ah Sheng's shoulder like this, but he was so calm that he didn't say a word, making her unable to guess what the person beside him was thinking, and she didn't dare to use her own thoughts to speculate. he.

The carriage galloped along the long silent street in the middle of the night, and passed for three miles around, without the slightest sound of people, only the horse neighing and A Sheng's rapid and tense breathing intertwined, casting a shadow over the night.

"Yu lives in the world all his life, and only wants to be worthy of his heart." He coughed violently for a while, and finally opened his mouth with difficulty. After he finished speaking, he was blocked by the blood gushing from his throat, and the blood from the corner of his lips was drawn out.

"I don't want you to have a clear heart, I just want you to live well!" Ah Sheng couldn't help wiping it with his sleeve, and cried out excitedly, and suddenly startled the returning bird that was standing on the plane tree by the street, "You are fighting for yourself!" Live, Wen Ruo! Neither for the emperor, nor for Mengde, what you should cherish most is your own life, not the other things you think of. The world cannot live without Lord Xun Ling, let alone the sacrifice you made, Don't you understand that?"

She wanted to blurt out "You're too tired to live," but swallowed it back.

When she helped him get into the car just now, she clearly felt that those wrists were too thin to hold, and they were all sharp joints to the touch, without any extra muscles.

At this moment, she looked at him seriously, and found that his face was also full of haggardness, the red threads in his eyes were intertwined, his cheeks were thin, his cheekbones were high, his thin lips were tightly pressed because of enduring pain, He covered his mouth with his hands and coughed violently.

After calming down, he said, "This is Yu's choice."

The words were brief, but undeniably firm.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, letting in a dazzling white light.

The rain then shattered the tranquility and fell wantonly from the sky, hitting the car with a crackling sound and splashing mud.

Immediately, the folk square beside the road made the sound of opening windows one after another. The people woke up from their dreams and hurriedly put away the clothes hanging outside to avoid further invasion by the heavy rain.

Some girls and mothers-in-law began to complain about the cloudy weather and chattered loudly to each other in the street. The whole originally quiet street suddenly became lively, and it became even more noisy under the uproar of heavy rain.

Asheng looked at Xun Yu beside him, and suddenly had an impulse to shout out the window: Look, this is Xun Wenruo, your most respected and admired Shangshuling. To be able to live and work in peace and contentment here, have you ever thought about how devoted and loyal he is for you and the world, but now he is about to die!

What is the talent of Wang Zuo who knows the world, what is the exhaustive strategy and strategizing, what I thought was the highest praise when I was young, but in the end, it turned out to be nothing more than a curse.

She bent down and bent her knees, wanting to cry and laugh, but couldn't laugh at all-but this was his choice.

She had no words to answer, she just wanted to hug him and cry loudly, shedding all the tears presumptuously.

At this moment the carriage stopped.

With a sound of "wow", Lu Hong stood aside respectfully, and said: "Report to the Lord and Madam, the medical center is here."

There was a rain gear in the corner, Ah Sheng reached out to pick it up, held Xun Yu's arm tightly and walked out.

She first opened the umbrella and jumped out of the car, carefully helped him down, held the weak body firmly, and let him lean on her shoulders.

In the medical hall, apart from a few ordinary people who rushed over due to sudden illness in the middle of the night, there was only one white-haired doctor.

The patients were moaning and crying in pain, and the doctor was so busy that he ran and stopped sometimes, shaking his head to let the family members of some helpless people prepare for the funeral.

A Sheng helped Xun Yu to sit down first, the doctor saw someone coming here to seek medical treatment, he glanced briefly at first, but his complexion changed drastically in an instant, and he hurried over and said:

"I'm afraid this official took the poison by mistake. The poison has invaded the internal organs and he can still hold on until now. This old man has never seen it before. Quickly, please lie down, and wait for the old man to feel his pulse."

A Sheng's hand holding Xun Yu was shaking, but he was much calmer than himself, and he was always lying on the couch in accordance with the Langzhong's instructions, and the wrist held by the latter was bruised and purple, which is unique to poisonous poison. Spread out in the skin of the body.

At this moment, he couldn't hold it anymore, closed his eyes and fell into a coma.

The doctor looked at his face, and quietly checked his pulse. After a while, the silver-white eyebrow peaks twisted together unconsciously, and suddenly showed a puzzled expression.

Seeing that the doctor was silent, Ah Sheng couldn't help being anxious, and hurriedly asked: "Sir, how is he now?"

"Ma'am, don't worry, the official can save you. Maybe the person who poisoned him is inexperienced and time-consuming. The small amount of this poison is not fatal. The old man has the courage to try acupuncture and moxibustion, and the official's life can be saved." Doctor Nian Holding the silver needle in his hand, "It's a pity that even if the official can be safe, he will not be safe."

"What do you mean by this sir?"

"Since ancient times, poisonous poisons are the most powerful. Even if the amount is small, it may have a considerable impact on him, and his health will definitely be damaged as a result. There is nothing I can do about it." The doctor shook his head helplessly.

This was actually all within A Sheng's expectations, it was a blessing to be able to save Xun Yu, and she dared not blame Lang Zhong for this.

So she nodded heavily, bowed her head and made a salute: "As long as you can save him, sir, I will be grateful for such a kindness, and I will definitely repay him heavily."

Seeing that the doctor was about to take off Xun Yu's outer clothes to administer needles, she immediately withdrew to avoid it, pacing anxiously in front of the court, not in the mood to browse the quiet scenery around her.

"Lord Lu Hong, my wife wants to trouble you." A Sheng raised the token on his waist and said to Lu Hong who was waiting at the door.

He immediately knelt down obediently, seeing Sikong Token as if seeing him in person, he replied with trepidation: "Although Madam orders, how dare a villain refuse to obey, he will go through fire and water without hesitation."

A Sheng nodded: "You send the secret brothers in ambush in the palace to investigate the palace guards who have been in the imperial dining room tonight, write down all the short people, and track them separately, which one is with a tall man Close, take it down immediately."

"Yes!" Lu Hong promised in a low voice, and immediately left to work.

"Wait!" Ah Sheng suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly called him back, "Don't reveal anything about Ling Jun's serious illness to the outside world, if the slightest bit of information leaks out, all previous efforts will be wasted."

Lu Hong understood and took the order to get on the horse. As soon as he left, Shuangshuang, who was wearing a raincoat, stepped in on the back.

"My surname is Bian, you are a woman who doesn't keep her word!"

As soon as she saw A Sheng, she immediately showed displeasure on her face, and unhappily stroked her sleeves that were soaked by the rain, so angry that she wanted to poke A Sheng's forehead, and said with her hands on her hips: "I have found you, do you know that?" I have been looking for you in the palace for a long time! I asked you to wait for me in the imperial garden, and you disappeared in the blink of an eye. If the guards hadn't told me that I saw Xun Lingjun who was drunk and unwell, I guessed that you would bring him here .Why don't you go to the imperial doctor, why do you ask for a doctor here?"

As soon as A Sheng thought about it, he was afraid that the news would leak out. Knowing that Shuangshuang's mouth could never hide anything, he downplayed and concealed it and said: "Shangshutai has always had a lot of affairs, so Junben has worked too hard and drank a lot of wine at the same time. , that's why I fainted."

Shuangshuang sighed sympathetically, and looked at her.

**

A Sheng kept watch all night without closing his eyes, his head was a little dizzy, and his head was also groggy. He stood up from the ground all of a sudden, trembling, and almost fell down.

Shuangshuang, who just came in to visit, saw this, and brought her a bowl of hot rice milk, "You go outside to get some fresh air, and I'll help you look here for a while."

She sniffed and nodded in agreement, rubbing her eyes that were red and swollen due to exhaustion, and then gently opened the door, fearing to disturb Xun Yu's rest.

Slowly wandering under the eaves, she looked at the morning sky, watching the intertwined and overlapping clouds on the horizon.

In an instant, the door opened with a "squeak", and Shuangshuang poked her head out and ran out, yelling at her in surprise:

"Ling Jun woke up!"

He couldn't hide the sincere joy on his face, and his tone became agitated.

It's just that she seemed to have something to hide, she pinched the corner of her clothes with her fingers and kept rubbing it, her eyes wandered a little, she glanced at A Sheng repeatedly hesitantly, her lips parted up and down, as if she had something to say but she didn't dare to say it.

Ah Sheng's excited heart suddenly sank, and he vaguely knew that something bad must have happened, so he stopped and asked seriously: "Is there anything that you can't say, you can tell it in detail."

At this moment, Shuangshuang's complexion changed drastically, her eyebrows drooped, her mouth curled up and her face was mournful: "Ling Jun... Although he is awake, his mind is not clear, it is quite different from before."
