Lin Chongtan seemed to be asleep, he was motionless, his long eyelashes were closed.He rarely falls asleep in front of me, and every time I wake up, he wakes up quickly too.When I fell asleep, he was often still awake.

I once slandered him, where did he get so much energy, is he not tired after doing so many things in a day?

Now Lin Chongtan seems to be really tired, so tired that he fell asleep in my arms.It seemed that no matter how I called him, he would never wake up again.

I didn't care to wipe away the tears on my face, I tried my best to calm my mood first, and slowly reached out to put my hand under his nose.

And breath.

My hand suddenly lost strength, and after a while, I gritted my teeth and got up, and when I separated Lin Chongtan from me, I felt extremely complicated.If it turned out, I would definitely slap Lin Chongtan, but he can't stand my slap anymore.

I wiped myself with a silk handkerchief indiscriminately, and went to see Lin Chongtan again.The wounds on his waist, abdomen and chest were still bleeding profusely.

Suddenly, I heard someone talking outside.

The man first used the northern language, and then switched to the Central Plains dialect after hearing my vigilant "who"?

"We are from the northern country, and we are here to pick up the young master and Lord Wu Ming."

Master Wuming?

I was stunned for a moment before I realized that the other party was referring to Lin Chongtan. When Lin Chongtan was still pretending to be Shaobu, I realized that there must be people from the Northland beside us.My eyes hurt that day, and I heard him talking to someone with my own ears, still using the northern language.

"Wait a minute." I said to the people outside, while enduring the soreness, I quickly took out the clean clothes from the drawer under the car seat and put them on, and then helped Lin Chongtan tidy up the clothes.

As for... As for the injuries on his body, since the northerners came, let them leave it to them.

Whether he lives or dies is for God to decide.

I opened the curtain of the car, and there were two Beiguo people standing outside, and there was another group in the distance.They stood there silently, as if they were not going to come.I glanced at the two northerners nearby.These two people are very young, one of them should be a few years younger than me, and his face is still childish.

The younger one met my gaze. For some reason, his face suddenly turned red, and he quickly lowered his head.The other person noticed the strangeness of the younger one, said a sentence of Beiguo dialect with cold eyes, and then said to me: "Young master offended."

Their Central Plains dialect is not particularly good, but I can understand it.

Two northerners got into the carriage, and I watched them check Lin Chongtan's injuries. Among them, the slightly older one took out a round red lacquer box from his arms, and there were several small holes the size of needlepoints on the top of the box.

When the man opened the lid of the box, I couldn't help but frown.

Inside the round red lacquer box was a reddish-black bug less than half a finger long. The older man carefully poured the bug onto Lin Zhongtan's wound. Crawled in through the wound.

"What are you doing?!" I couldn't help but speak.

The younger one turned his head to look at me, and his calm face began to turn red again. He said in a voice like a mosquito, "This is a Gu insect, and it can keep Lord Wu Ming's heart."

The person next to him immediately scolded him. Although I couldn't understand, I guess I could guess the general meaning. He didn't want me to know too much.

After letting the worm crawl into Lin Chongtan's body, they took out another bottle, which should contain medicinal powder.They poured the medicine powder on Lin Chongtan's wound, and then suddenly pulled out the knife from his chest.

In an instant, I saw Lin Chongtan frown in a coma.He seemed to be awakened by the pain, his eyelashes trembled slightly, but after a few breaths, he returned to silence.

After the two quickly bandaged the wound, they carried Lin Chongtan out.Seeing this, I thought I could leave alone later, but I didn't know that the older one looked back at me.

"It's not peaceful outside now, so you should come with us, young master."

I was imprisoned, and although the people from Beiguo respected me superficially and gave me almost everything I asked for, they didn't allow me to leave this yard.

This courtyard is located outside the capital, and I don't know exactly how far it is from the capital.The courtyard was guarded by soldiers from the Northern Kingdom. Those soldiers from the Northern Kingdom had all changed into costumes from the Central Plains, pretending to be the guards of wealthy and well-to-do families.

I have been locked up for eight days, and it is said that Lin Chongtan has not woken up during these eight days.His room was in the main house. Once in the middle of the night, I suddenly heard strange movements outside.

I got up, opened the window secretly, and found that the main house was brightly lit, and someone came out with a copper basin, which was filled with shocking blood.I couldn't understand what those northerners were saying, but everyone who came out of the main house looked extremely ugly, and I even heard crying.

What are you crying for?

Crying Lin Chongtan is going to die?

I didn't want to look any more, and closed the window again, but I didn't feel sleepy either.I sat on the bed, sweating uncontrollably from my palms.

It wasn't until it was completely dawn that I felt a little sleepy.At this time, the person who waited for me to wash also came.

This person is the youngest one I saw that day, his name is Amul, he is only 16 years old this year, and because he can speak the Central Plains dialect, he was sent to serve me.

He was a little surprised when he found me awake.

I rinsed my mouth and cleansed my face under Amur's service. When I was having breakfast, I saw Gongyanglu.Gong Yanglu knew me. He stood at my door, knocked on the half-open door cautiously, and walked in.

"Ninth Young Master." Unlike others, he would add the word "Nine" in front of "Young Master".

I put down the porcelain spoon in my hand, took a silk handkerchief and wiped my lips, Fang said: "What's the matter, Mr. Gongyang?"

Gong Yanglu showed a bitter smile, "I have an unfeeling request. I want Master Ninth to visit Master Wu Ming."

When I heard what he said, I turned my face away, "Why do you want me to see it? I'm not a doctor."

"Although the ninth son is not a doctor, there is a saying in the Central Plains that the person who unties the bell must use the bell tieer. Mr. Wu Ming kept chanting the nickname of the ninth son when he was in a coma. Last night, the witch's life was hanging by a thread. He almost passed away. The situation is not the same now. It's getting better, so I want Young Master Jiu to go and see Lord Wu Ming, just take a look." Gong Yanglu said.

I was silent for a long time, but still shook my head, "I don't want to see him."

Gongyanglu's eyes showed obvious disappointment, but he didn't say anything else, but Amur next to him knelt on the ground with a "boom", "I beg you, my lord, go see Lord Wu Ming."

His words were earnest and his expression was urgent, but I didn't understand why they, the northerners, took Lin Chongtan as a shaman's order, and what role this shaman's order played in the Northland.

I turned my face away, "It's useless for you to kneel down. I said I won't go to see him. I'm not a doctor. If you want to cure him, you should go and ask a doctor. There are good doctors in the capital, and even better in the palace." Imperial doctor. If you let me go, I can send some imperial doctors over."

Gong Yanglu sighed, "It's not that I don't want to send the ninth son back, but now the capital is in a mess and there are refugees everywhere, the ninth son is a worthy man, if he is attacked by those refugees, wouldn't it be our northern country's sin? After a while, the capital will not be so chaotic, and this old man will naturally send Jiu Gongzi back."

I don't know how much truth there is in Gongyanglu's words, but he didn't let me go, presumably it wasn't all because of my safety.

The last time I returned from Tianji Palace, I saw many refugees. Are there more refugees in the capital now?

After Gongyanglu said this, he took Amur who was kneeling in front of me away.This year's sky is like being pierced, and it rains endlessly.I lost the mood to continue eating, so I stood on the porch, under the vast rain, and the flying silk continued.

I stretched out my hand to catch the rain, and suddenly I heard a thunder, and my whole body trembled, and the raindrops just caught by my palms fell to the ground.

A few days later, Gongyanglu gave me a sandalwood box. He said the sandalwood box belonged to Lin Chongtan and asked him to give it to me.

"He's awake?" I said softly.

Gong Yanglu smiled and nodded, "Yes, thanks to the blessing of the gods, Master Wu Ming has woken up." He changed the topic, and the smile on his face disappeared, "But Lord Wu Ming had old diseases before, but now My heart, waist and abdomen are injured, my body is still very weak, and I can't get off the bed. But Mr. Wu Ming specially asked the old man to send this thing to the ninth son."

I took a few glances at the sandalwood box, and opened it in front of Gong Yanglu. Inside was a letter and a delicate copper bell.

When I saw the copper bell, I couldn't help but take it out.As soon as I picked it up, the bell made a very crisp sound.This copper bell is half the size of my palm, with complex lines on it. I carefully identified it, but I couldn't make out what was painted on it. It seemed to be two people, and it seemed to be a dragon rolling in the clouds.

There are still characters on the copper bell, but they are not Zhongyuan characters, and I don't know them.

I pursed my lips and put the copper bell back into the sandalwood box, "Thank you sir for making a special trip to give me this thing, but I don't need it."

Rao Gongyanglu also showed a look of astonishment at this time, "Master Jiu doesn't even want to read the letter?"

"Yes." I said coldly.

Gong Yanglu sighed a long time this time, and he looked at me with the eyes of someone who has experienced it, as if he was sure that one day I would regret what I did today.

"Even if the ninth son doesn't want to read it, please keep the things with you." After finishing speaking, Gongyanglu left, and I handed the sandalwood box to Amor in the afternoon.

Amur probably didn't know that Lin Chongtan asked Gongyanglu to give me this sandalwood box. He heard that I wanted to return this box to Gongyanglu, so he obediently gave it away. When he came back, he had a lump on his left cheek. Very obvious palm prints.

Amur rushed to me in a few steps, as if he wanted to question me, but when he met my gaze, he became baffled again, and finally said nothing, sighed like Gong Yanglu, and left the room.

Another ten days passed, and I saw people from the Northland packing up their things. Amur came to bid farewell to me early in the morning, saying that they were going back to the Northland.

"You go back to the Northland, then I..." Before I could finish speaking, Gong Yanglu walked in from the outside, with a familiar smile on his face.

"Naturally, the ninth son will be sent back to the capital safely, but because of our identities, we specially called someone from the ninth son to pick him up." He looked at the sky outside and pondered, "I guess it will be in the afternoon." Can we get there?"

Gong Yanglu said to Amur again: "Don't stand here, go and pack your things, we can't keep any of our things."

After Amur left, Gongyanglu invited me to visit Lin Chongtan again, but I still refused.Seeing my refusal, he quickly took out the sandalwood box from the back, "Then please accept this, Lord Ninth."

He walked quickly, as if he was afraid that if he stayed for a moment longer, the sandalwood box would return to his hand.

It's just that Gongyanglu didn't expect that I would put the sandalwood box directly on the beauties in the corridor, and anyone passing by would see it.

So not only others saw it, but Lin Zhongtan saw it too.

Lin Chongtan woke up, it was obviously hot summer, but he was wearing a rather thick black cloak, which made his complexion paler and paler.His gaze fell on the sandalwood box first, and then at me.

Then, he came towards me, and when I saw him coming, I couldn't help taking a step back.

Lin Chongtan paused immediately, but he still slowly walked in front of me, the dark eyes contained emotions that I don't know how to describe.

"Why don't you come to see me?" When he said this, his tone was extremely weak, and his voice could only be heard by the two of us.

I clenched and loosened the hands in my sleeves, "Why should I visit you? Your life or death has nothing to do with me."

Lin Chongtan stared at me almost stubbornly when he heard the words, "Xiao Di, you really want me to die, don't you?"

I didn't answer this sentence, but turned my face away, he shouldn't be here for long, I smelled a strong smell of blood on his body.

After a few breaths of silence, Lin Chongtan coughed twice, and he suddenly changed the subject.

"If I said that I was not the one who ordered Duan Xinting back then, would you believe me? Would you be willing to go back to the Northland with me?"

not him?

Who is that?

Who else could have made Duan Xinting kill me that night?

I suddenly turned my head to look at Lin Chongtan, wanting to ask, but found that my breathing was messed up.I bit my lower lip hard, and after feeling the pain, I was finally able to speak, "Who is that?"

Lin Chongtan stopped talking, as he always does.He stared at me with eyes that I couldn't understand again.

My heart suddenly became angry, "Lin Chongtan, you have admitted it to me yourself, and why should I go to the North Kingdom with you? I am the Ninth Prince of the Bei Dynasty, not something you bought with money. Look at me, have I had a good day since the first day I met you? I won't go anywhere, don't come near me again, or I will kill you, disgusting rapist. "

I said the last sentence almost through gritted teeth. Although the voice was extremely low, Lin Chongtan could definitely hear it clearly.

When he heard this sentence, blood oozed from the corner of his lips. At this time, a man from the Northland spoke up behind him, and that person spoke the Northland dialect that I couldn't understand.

Lin Chongtan listened with lowered eyes, and slowly wiped away the blood from his lips with his left hand.He suddenly reminded me of a flower.

Large areas of snow-colored pearl plums always show a sense of decay after being soaked by heavy rain.

After hearing those words, Lin Chongtan seemed to lose any emotion in his eyes, and he stopped looking at me, turned around and walked out of the yard.I saw someone handing Lin Chongtan a mask, and he put the mask on his face and got into the carriage.

The carriage left, and the remaining Beiguo people also evacuated the yard, leaving me alone.I stood where I was, and my eyes gradually turned to the sandalwood box.

Not long after, someone grabbed my shoulders.

It's Song Nan.

After Song Nan grabbed my shoulder, he suddenly felt impolite, and quickly let go and knelt on the ground, "This subordinate has seen the master, and this subordinate comes to take the master back to the palace."

I didn't respond to Song Nan's words, but walked to the side of the sandalwood box.I stared at the box for a long time, until Song Nan called me strangely, and then I made a move.

I hugged the sandalwood box in my arms, "Go back to the palace."
