Chapter 524 Candle in the Wind

The capital.

A horse galloped over, and the lazy city gate guards suddenly tensed up.

Who dares to gallop toward the city gate on the borders of the capital? Could it be some prince’s son, so domineering?

“Stop, stop!” Just as he was about to break through the door, the guard stopped him.

“Hello!” The horse neighed and paused in its gallop, showing the knight’s superb riding skills and control.

The guards looked up and saw that they no longer needed to ask for directions as usual. They were treated the same as the prince’s children.

Because as long as this guy doesn’t disguise himself, everyone in the world will recognize you, and no one will even dare to ask him for the city entrance tax.

“King Shura…”

Xue Canghai doesn’t have any big words. In the eyes of ordinary people, being number one on the list is tantamount to the king’s respect, even in the eyes of the government.

This kind of mentality is quite interesting, because everyone does not respect the general land list so much. The next level will have to be number one on the land list. Only number one will have such a special aura, and it must be ranked up instead of Supplementary.

Just like people will remember who won the competition and who won the gold medal. Not many people remember who the runner-up and third runner-up were.

The last time I entered Beijing, I was yelled at by a fool and the whole city knew about it, causing a lot of trouble. This time, it seemed that it didn’t matter anymore. They just beat gongs and drums to shout that Zhao Changhe was coming. So what? Zhao Changhe had no intention of thinking about this, so he led his horse into the city and went straight to the Tang Mansion.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty!” At the Four Elephant Sect’s Villa, the followers hurriedly reported to Suzaku: “King Shura has entered the city.”

Shu Que drank tea slowly and calmly: “Where is he going? Come here or go to Huangfu Mansion to find Shaozong?”

“…went to Tang Mansion.”

The air seemed to be quiet for a moment, a little solemn for some reason. Xia Chichi secretly glanced at Venerable Suzaku, who was silent for a moment, and sighed: “Chichi, this man doesn’t take you into his heart, so stop it.”

Xia Chichi had no expression on his face.

Zhao Changhe doesn’t know I’m here, so why do I come here… As for the Huangfu Mansion, that coquettish imperial concubine is usually in the palace. Who can go to the Huangfu Mansion if they have enough to eat… She thought about it for a moment, and be careful Said: “Your Majesty, he may enter the palace and steal the concubine.”

Suzaku blinked and stood up to leave.

Xia Chichi was dumbfounded: “Sir, where are you going?”

“Oh.” Zhuque said, “I have something to tell Huangfu and let her connect with Zhao Changhe.”

Xia Chichi hesitated for a moment and whispered: “Sir, I also want to go in.”

Suzaku frowned slightly. This is not because she is not allowed to enter, but whether Xia Chichi’s status is suitable for her to enter. Before this, Xia Chichi did not even dare to enter the capital. This time, she reluctantly came to the capital and never mentioned that she wanted to enter the palace. , but in the end, he even risked it to meet his lover.

But when I think about it, there is nothing inappropriate at all. If Chichi was really Xia Longyuan’s daughter, could Xia Longyuan still kill her? Maybe there will be sparks when the two meet, and Suzaku suddenly wants to see it.

“The palace is heavily guarded. You can’t sneak in casually…I can come and go as I please. As you say…” Suzaku thought about it for a moment and suddenly smiled: “?Mihuanㄒ?You can disguise yourself as Huangfu’s personal palace maid when you enter. , I just want to wrong you a little, you have to listen to Huangfu, at least show respect on the face of it.”

Xia Chichi gritted her teeth: “It’s just a temporary expediency, what’s wrong with giving her two days’ advantage?”

Suzaku couldn’t hide his smile and left leisurely: “Then just wait, I’ll go find Huangfu first and ask her to find an excuse to leave the palace and go to the other garden. I’ll take you in directly and that’s it.”

In front of the Tang family.

“King Shura, please come in.” The guard nodded and bowed: “The first one is waiting for His Highness in the living room.”

It seems that through the false king “King Shura”, their “His Highness” also took advantage of the situation and spoke without any violation.

Zhao Changhe stepped inside and saw Baoqin standing outside the corridor waving a handkerchief from a distance: “Here, here.”

Zhao Changhe’s solemn mood was shattered by this handkerchief. This is not Wanhua Tower… The Demon Suppressing Division is not a brothel.

As soon as he walked up to Baoqin, Baoqin immediately said: “You are here, the lady has been coughing up blood recently, please help me…”

Zhao Changhe’s heart skipped a beat and he quickly entered the living room.

Tang Wanzhuang was sitting at the table, making tea. The tea was fragrant and the water vapor was steaming. At first glance, it looked as beautiful as a fairyland, but the paleness of her face again and the occasional cough completely destroyed all the artistic conception.

It was the end of summer, and the weather was extremely hot, but Tang Wanzhuang still wore thick clothes. Although she didn’t even wear mink fur like when we first met, it was still thick enough to be worn only in spring and autumn.

“Why are you still playing elegantly here?” Zhao Changhe stepped inside and grabbed her pulse: “Don’t move, let me take a look.”

Tang Wanzhuang curled her lips and winked at Baoqin.

That means you go quickly and don’t look here. I still have to maintain a minimum of demeanor.

Baoqin rolled his eyes, backed out and closed the door. Who likes to look at you, those with needle eyes!

However, nothing happened inside that would cause anyone to get a needle eye. Zhao Changhe felt his pulse and frowned tightly, with a very serious look on his face.

Tang Wanzhuang glanced at his expression and whispered: “Don’t curse.”

Zhao Changhe laughed angrily: “You know you will be scolded.”

Tang Wanzhuang muttered: “I didn’t force anything to cause it, you can’t blame me.”

It’s true that she didn’t do anything forcefully, it was just that the weather had changed like this, and it was extremely frustrating to worry about it, and the root cause of her illness was her soul. But how can we not worry? As long as she is still the head of the imperial court, she will still be in the late Tang Dynasty.

Unless she really gets rid of her armor and returns home, is that possible?

Zhao Changhe sighed, finally unable to blame him, and just said: “Do you know how serious your situation is now?”

“I taught you your medical skills.”

“…”

Tang Wanzhuang knew very well that the damage caused by the recurrence of this old disease would be more serious than the original version, but he could not show his cowardice. Once I say I can’t do it, please come and help me. For the two of them, the treatment mode is just like asking for sex.

Zhao Changhe shook his head, walked to the side table, took out a pen and paper, made a list, and handed it to Baoqin when he went out: “Get these medicinal materials immediately, and also clean up the coal stove for cooking the medicine. Come over.”

Baoqin was very surprised. He thought you were going to gnaw inside. It seems that this situation is really serious. She couldn’t think about it anymore, took the prescription and left quickly.

Zhao Changhe sat back next to Tang Wanzhuang, reached out and held her palm, and the rejuvenation secret was silently running.

This is an advanced rejuvenation technique that has been combined with the healing power of the immortal blood demon body. Tang Wanzhuang suddenly felt a sense of resurgence of spring coming back to the earth in her body, which was stronger than before. How many times.

She stared blankly at Zhao Changhe’s face. He was much quieter when they met this time, and he felt much more reliable.

As time passes by after entering the world, two years ago he was a high-spirited young man who talked about running the train, but now he is like the backbone of the family, silently supporting everything.

“I can’t blame you.” Zhao Changhe suddenly spoke at this moment: “Your illness has been recurring, and part of it is my fault. After all, I killed the prefect and worked with the rebels. Just don’t blame me. ”

Tang Wanzhuang was silent for a moment and whispered: “I don’t blame you.”

Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment and forgot what he wanted to say. He continued after a long time: “…I want to see Xia Longyuan, can you arrange for me to enter the palace?”

Tang Wanzhuang was stunned: “Why did you see him?”

Zhao Changhe said: “Why, you don’t want me to be the crown prince? How can he be the crown prince and rebel if I don’t see him?”

Tang Wanzhuang was excited: “I’m going to report to him and let him declare…”

“Don’t announce it.” Zhao Changhe sighed: “The court officials who follow the rules are indeed respectable, but they are also stupid. This is really contradictory.”

Tang Wanzhuang: “…I’m not that pedantic either!”

This little show of protest finally dispersed the solemn atmosphere, and Zhao Changhe couldn’t help but smile: “Aren’t you pedantic?”

Tang Wanzhuang said angrily: “If I were so stubborn and pedantic, who would kiss you before marriage!”

Explosive kill.

Zhao Changhe blinked: “Then take me and sneak in.”

Tang Wanzhuang said helplessly: “I can take you into the palace secretly, but how can I take you into the inner palace? I can’t even enter the inner palace myself. Do you expect me to enter the inner palace at will?”

Zhao Changhe was shocked: “That can’t be done!”

Tang Wanzhuang looked at him sideways.

The two of them looked at each other and knew who they should talk to about this matter.

Tang Wanzhuang said angrily: “You can obviously take the right path and let him let you in! Oh…”

At the end of the sentence, he suddenly trembled and couldn’t help but moan.

The two of them kept holding each other’s hands. During the conversation, Zhao Changhe had been using the Rejuvenation Technique to nurse her back to health. At this time, he happened to repair some wounds. The numbness of the healing made Tang Wanzhuang unable to hold back for a moment.

“Your Highness, the medicine is here…la…la…” Baoqin walked in excitedly, then slowly backed away with his eyes straight.

What was that sound just now…

Zhao Changhe grabbed back angrily, and Baoqin suddenly felt an invisible force grabbing the medicine in his hand, as if an invisible big hand flew towards Zhao Changhe’s hand with the medicine package.

With a “bang”, the door was closed again by an invisible hand.

Baoqin cried and squatted on the ground holding her head that was hit by the door.

Zhao Changhe lit a fire in the house and added medicine. Tang Wanzhuang poked her head curiously and watched Zhao Changhe take out a small bottle of blood and a small piece of meat from the ring.

“What is this?”

“Fortunately, there is still some blood and flesh left in Xueyao.” Zhao Changhe boiled the flesh and blood together with the medicinal materials, and looked at the fire in a trance: “Now you are not only suffering from the disease itself, but also from overdraft and weakening of your vitality. Even if your injury is cured, you won’t live long. I have to find a way to replenish your vitality. Fortunately, this Xue Ao is symptomatic, but you have to promise me not to get hurt again until it is completely cured. It’s hard to save a fairy…”

Tang Wanzhuang opened her mouth, unable to agree to this.

The world is in such chaos, how could she do nothing? As long as you do something, no one can guarantee whether you will get hurt.

Even Zhao Changhe himself knew that this request was almost impossible. He stared at the fire in silence for a while, then turned around angrily, took her into his arms, and chewed her down viciously.

Tang Wanzhuang’s eyelashes trembled slightly and she closed her eyes.

This Daxia is already a candle in the wind, and so is her Tang Wanzhuang. Zhao Changhe’s so-called Blood Ao refining medicine was mostly just tinkering, just like her previous work on Daxia.

In the last days of life, there is really nothing to be reserved about.
