Princess Meng Ze, dressed in a pale golden robe and with her hair tied in a Falling Cloud Bun, walked in from the shadows of flowers outside the door. The maid Yue Niang followed her, carrying a sandalwood box wrapped in gold in her hand.
She entered the room and glanced at everyone's faces one by one. She glanced at Gu Mang lying in the tent, and finally her eyes fell on the pale Mo Xi.
"You don't care about your life again, do you?"
"…"
Meng Ze's eyes flashed, "Last time your heart was broken … because you wanted to save your senior fellow apprentice. He almost killed you at that time. I saved you. I have nothing else to ask for from you. I only hope that you will think about whether it is worth it or not when you meet people and things from now on. "
It was terribly quiet in the room. Only Meng Ze's low but obviously sad voice could be heard.
She said word by word, "Brother Mo, so many years have passed. Now let me ask you, are you still going to be as stubborn as before and make the same choice?"
Meng Ze was talking about the naval battle in Dongting.
That year, he wanted to use his own life to exchange for Gu Mang's return, so there was a heart-wrenching stab in the naval battle in Dongting. That stab was so decisive that he would feel cold whenever he thought about it later.
But now he knew the truth about Gu Mang being a spy. When he thought about it again, he only felt that Gu Mang was too painful.
"Who do you think you are? Do you think I will feel guilty and turn back if you die? Don't be silly. "
"As a general, as a soldier, as a human being, we can't be too sentimental about old friendships."
How did Gu Mang feel when he said these words and did these things …
Mo Xi closed his eyes. He really couldn't explain it clearly to Meng Ze in such a short time. He also felt that Meng Ze couldn't understand the twists and turns in it immediately.
His heart was in a mess. He wanted to protect Gu Mang's spiritual sense. He wanted to protect this man who was already covered in wounds. He wanted to seek justice for this secret discussion that had been hidden in the Ghost's Domain for five years. However, the words of Elder Yao Xiu from Shennongtai kept echoing in his mind.
I'm afraid that I won't remember anything … I won't be able to speak anymore.
If he collapsed badly, he might even damage his eyes.
In his memory, that pair of bright and gentle black eyes curved up, and the smile was like the stars floating on the surface of the water. The black eyes blinked, and when they opened again, they had changed into an azure blue color. It was as if an untainted lake was slowly flowing towards him.
Before the re-tempering, Gu Mang laughed heartily. After the re-tempering, Gu Mang looked at him quietly and obediently. They called him Junior Brother Mo, Mo Xi, My Princess, My Lord …
Mo Xi's hands were trembling. He didn't answer Meng Ze again. Instead, he walked to Gu Mang's bedside. He bent down and stared at the face that was extremely pale after wiping away the blood stains.
After a moment of silence, he said to the Elder Yao Xiu from Shennongtai, "Continue."
Meng Ze's eyes finally flashed with anxiety. She said, "Mo Xi …"
"I'll explain it to you later. As long as you trust me. "
Meng Ze, "…"
Mo Xi said, "I have to save him."
The silence was terrible. It seemed that there was some invisible undercurrent flowing. For a moment, almost everyone thought that Meng Ze was going to explode and collapse. However, Meng Ze finally paused for a while and said slowly, "… Okay. Since this is your choice. "
After a pause, she stepped forward.
"I'll help you."
Yue Niang was shocked, "Princess!"
Meng Ze seemed to be trying hard to hold back her emotions. She had always been a very patient person. However, almost everyone could see the pain and grievance in her eyes this time.
Meng Ze's lips moved slightly. She seemed to want to say something. However, she probably overestimated her limits. Before she could say anything, her eyes turned red. She turned her face and lowered her eyelashes.
Yue Niang was very distressed. She didn't care about the seniority between master and servant. She lamented, "Princess, why, why do you …"
Meng Ze closed her eyes. Her eyelashes trembled. Once again, she controlled herself. This time, she finally held back the sadness that was about to overflow.
She opened her eyes and said, "Take my medicine box."
Everyone was stunned!
Murong Meng Ze was actually planning to practice medicine again?!
Chong Hua had two great medicine masters. One was Jiang Fuli of the "Greed, Anger, and Obsession" Three Filth, and the other was Murong Meng Ze of the "Restraint, Determination, and Wisdom" Three Sages. However, Meng Ze had overdrawn the power of her spiritual nucleus to save Mo Xi many years ago. There were many things that she couldn't do herself. She had been carefully nurturing herself over the years. Her body had finally recovered gradually.
If she practiced medicine again, although she could achieve the best results, she was afraid that she would be completely crippled. How could Mo Xi allow her to sacrifice herself again?
He grabbed her arm and stopped her in a low voice, "Meng Ze, go back."
"…"
"I already owe you my life. He can't owe you anymore. "
Murong Meng Ze's arm was held by him. Tears gradually gathered in her beautiful eyes.
Perhaps it was because she had waited for too long and restrained herself too much. Jade Leaf Jinzhi, who had always been expressionless, actually fell into a situation where her eyes turned red in front of everyone.
"Brother Mo … you're sad when something happens to him. Have you ever thought about me?"
The crowd had never heard of Princess Mengze being so emotional before. For a moment, they didn't know what to do. They knew that they shouldn't be listening or watching, but they couldn't leave the room. They could only pretend to be wooden statues.
Meng Ze said in a trembling voice, "What do you think will happen to me if something happens to you again? I can't cultivate the right path in this life. Am I so worthless in your eyes that I can only exchange for a few short years of peace?! "
As she spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears. They flowed down her soft cheeks and dripped on the back of Mo Xi's hand that was holding her arm.
"This senior brother of yours … if he's really so important to you, I'd rather use the forbidden technique again and save him for you! Brother Mo … I've done everything I can. I just hope that you can remember me a little more in the future … then I'll also … I'll also … "
She suddenly closed her eyes, and large drops of tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls from a broken necklace.
Mo Xi's state of mind was already stretched to the extreme. Gu Mang's illness couldn't be delayed any longer. He urgently wanted to ask the elders of Shen Nongtai if there was a solution, but Meng Ze was acting like this.
He didn't know how to coax a woman. He was anxious and depressed, but he didn't know what to say to make her stop meddling in this matter.
Mo Xi knew how painful it was to owe a favor that was destined to never be returned.
Every time he saw Meng Ze, he felt guilty and blamed himself. And this kind of guilt and self-blame was destined to never be filled. Because what Meng Ze wanted, he had already given it to the man on the bed. There was no way he could give it to her.
Because of this, he always didn't know what to say or do in front of her. It was as if he was tied up by invisible strings. Many things, regardless of whether he was willing or not, as long as Meng Ze asked him to do, he would do it.
This kind of feeling of not being able to control oneself was too uncomfortable. So he didn't want Gu Mang to owe him another favor that was impossible to repay.
At this moment, the medicine practitioner who had been maintaining the stability of Gu Mang's consciousness suddenly coughed up a big mouthful of blood. The magic light array on his hand suddenly dimmed.
The elders of Shen Nongtai were shocked, "What's wrong?!"
"His, the consciousness in his body is too strange. Just now, a very fierce thought suddenly rushed out. This disciple is not talented, and really can't hold it …"
At this moment, Gu Mang on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. But he didn't regain consciousness. His eyeballs were moving left and right, his pupils were very dilated. His lips seemed to be muttering curses. Then, tears of blood gushed out of his eyes and flowed down his long eyes like a phoenix's tail.
A little medicine practitioner who didn't have enough Taoism skills cried out, "What's going on?!"
"This is … At this moment, the Black Demon Curse in his body is starting to backfire …" Meng Ze murmured.
She suddenly raised her head and said to Mo Xi, "His consciousness has begun to collapse. Now, I'm not sure if I can save him. If we can't control it, Brother Mo — he will die. "
Mo Xi's face suddenly turned pale!
Meng Ze saw his concern and said sadly, "… If you don't want anything to happen to him, let me try. After all … after all, in your heart, I'm also …"
But before she finished, she was interrupted by a voice from outside the door.
"Princess, why are you so pessimistic?"
The voice was lazy, with some natural disdain and arrogance, "In my opinion, the person on the bed is very tough. He won't die, and his brain may not be damaged."
As soon as the voice fell, a man in a green robe with big sleeves and a golden buckle walked into the room.
"You still have me."
If it was said that Princess Mengze's appearance had already made those medicine cultivators who admired her medical skills extremely nervous, then when this person entered the door, almost all of them had to kneel down before him.
"Greetings, Medicine Master Jiang!"
Meng Ze was also slightly stunned, "… Medicine Master Jiang …"
Jiang Fuli's expression was indifferent, and he squinted his eyes. He always squinted his eyes. Probably because he counted too much money, his eyesight was not very good. When he didn't wear the glass eyeglasses, his almond-shaped eyes were always hazy, as if there was a misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
Jiang Fuli held up two fingers, and between his white and slender fingers was a golden ticket. He turned to Mo Xi and said, "Did you send a messenger beast to deliver this to me?"
Mo Xi said, "Your wife said you went to the Southern Border …"
"Yes. But I haven't gone far, and why would I have a problem with money? I rushed back as soon as I saw the ticket. " Jiang Fuli flicked the glittering golden ticket, and glanced at Gu Mang on the bed, "But he's seriously ill, so I have to add three more tickets."
Mo Xi said anxiously, "My senior brother's life —"
"His life and eyes won't be in danger." Jiang Fuli paused for a moment, walked forward, and raised his hand to touch Gu Mang's forehead, "… It's hard to say, but it's not to the extent that nothing can be saved. We have to treat him first. No matter what, I'll try my best. "
Jiang Fuli was a heartless person, and he had no stance. He only had one principle in everything he did, and that was money.
As long as the money was in place, he would do his best.
Jiang Fuli sat on the edge of the bed, raised his hand to untie Gu Mang's robe, and examined the scars on Gu Mang's body.
As he looked, he sighed, "It took so long to treat him like this. What a quack."
Everyone at Shennongtai, "…"
Jiang Fuli raised his slender fingers, and quickly pressed a few acupoints on his body. The gushing blood immediately stopped. He raised his hand and said, "Pass it to me."
He didn't say what he was going to pass. He probably thought that others could figure it out on their own, so the little medicine practitioner closest to him hurriedly passed him the medicine box.
Jiang Fuli, "… Why do I need your broken box? Give me gauze! "
The Little Xiu shivered in fear when he stared at him with his almond-shaped eyes. He hurriedly handed over a piece of gauze with both hands.
Jiang Fuli wiped the blood from Gu Mang's serious injuries. As he wiped, he suddenly froze when he wiped the blood on his shoulder.
Mo Xi immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
"…" Jiang Fuli frowned as he looked at the scar on Gu Mang's shoulder. "This petal-shaped scar …"
"It's not from this time. He had it since he was young."
"Of course I know it's not a new scar." Jiang Fuli's gaze was still on the scar. "I just thought it looked familiar. Why do I feel like I've seen a similar scar on another patient before …"
As he spoke, he became uncertain. He shook his head and said, "It's probably a little similar. I remembered wrongly."
After he finished speaking, he threw away the blood-stained gauze, sat up straight, and began to treat Gu Mang's injuries.
The water dripped slowly next to the bedchamber table. The room was very quiet. Jiang Fuli sat next to Gu Mang. His two slender fingers rested on Gu Mang's wrist. He felt his pulse while channeling the spiritual flow of magic into this body.
The medical incantation he used was different from the traditional Chong Hua's magic incantation. Therefore, the group of medicine practitioners around them could not tell what was going on. They could only watch helplessly as the wounds on Gu Mang's flesh healed at an astonishing speed. The bruises on his cheeks also slowly faded.
Meng Ze said softly, "Jiang Fuli, you really live up to your reputation."
Jiang Fuli said calmly, "Princess, you flatter me."
The elder of Shennongtai cautiously approached and asked, "Medicine Master Jiang, do you … need anything else that we can help you with?"
Jiang Fuli said, "Oh, yes, I do."
The elder hurriedly said, "Medicine Master Jiang, please tell us. We will definitely do as you say."
Jiang Fuli said, "I need all of you to be quiet."
However, things seemed to be going against him. Not long after he finished speaking, a manservant suddenly ran in from outside and shouted at the top of his voice, "Bad news, bad news!"
Jiang Fuli, "…"
Mo Xi suddenly turned around. "What's wrong?"
The manservant said, "Bad news! My lord, Housekeeper Li can't hold it anymore outside. Eunuch Zhao is already furious. He said that my lord is disobeying the imperial edict. If you don't go out, he will lead people to force you into the palace! "
