Feng Yu Jiu Tian Vol 4 Chapter 8
Feng ming jumped off from the s.h.i.+p, following Rong hu's recommendations, he struggled to swim toward east direction. After a moment, his eyes gradually blurred, he felt something wrong with all over his body. He felt weak all over, drowsy feeling crawled over his eyes, he suddenly found himself floating on the river, he startled inside, realized that he had been fell into enemy's trap.
There is sound coming from the coastal area, they had apparently found him floating like a 'fish' on the surface of the river. Half-awake half-conscious, the giant net moved close to him, he had been involuntarily dragged to sh.o.r.e.
No, i must go back to Xi Rei. I can't into Ruo yan's hand.
He shouted loudly in his heart, but he could only watched the people dressed in Li soldier came closer to him. He began to feel the surrounding slowly darkened. When he leaned his head, he finally fainted.
The mind calming incense wafted in the air.
Inside the palace of Li Kingdom, the most glorious King palace, silk curtain hung down. Seven-eight pretty looked maid, stood on both sides of the bed. Two neat rows of guards stood outside, big and tall body, armed with ax, solemn and majestic.
The person who lied under the soft blanket, still unconscious. Quietly sprawled on bed, long eyelashes covered the eyes, the upright standing nose and handsome silhouette in the hazy incense showed the well-behaved manner that extremely difficult to see when awake.
His right hand stretched out from the blanket, long sleeve being rolled up to his shoulders, exposing the white skin, pale creamy skin, showing some scars that appeared from nowhere, made people feel dejected.
An old man was sitting beside the bed, gently pressed his finger on the sleeping person's wrist.
Miao guang dressed in a gorgeous colorful coat, yet her face was worried, whispered softly," Master Yi Ren, how is it?"
"Princess no need to hurry, let me check further."
This old man, was the one who taught Li King Ruo yan about medicine, he claimed himself as Yi ren (If i'm not mistaken, 异人 means "extraordinary people", but in the story i will use the Pin yin as "Yi Ren"), he usually lived by moving around in Li kingdom, this time, he was being summoned to the capital by the king so urgent.
Miao Guang knew his formidable knowledge of medicine, didn't dare to disturb, she only could kept silent while looking at the man's face who laid on the bed.
After checking the pulse for a while, Yi ren frowned and pondered, suddenly opened the blanket and unb.u.t.toned the patient's cloth. A dark scar appeared on a beautiful chest.
He sighed gently.
Miao guang's face changed rapidly," Master why sighed? Don't tell me Duke Ming he...he..." She is young but a grown-up's personality, she was rarely at a loss, unexpectedly met Feng ming, there are nine out of ten times be at a loss.
It had been 7 days since Feng ming arrived at the capital, still unconscious, if still go on like this, he might not live much longer, how could there is no anxious in their heart?
"Duke ming got a sign of a chest b.u.mp, the injuries suffered drastic change, the wound precipitates in the heart, originally it must avoid water, instead, he jumped off the river to escape, after jumping off, his vitality was more severely injured, also at this time being drugged," Yi Ren shook his head," If we separate the cause, each I can readily rescue. But being put together, disease over disease, to save him is far more than a thousand times difficult."
"Even if it is far more than a thousand times difficult still must save him." suddenly someone talking with deep voice behind.
Miao guang turned his head, hastened to salute," Brother King."
Yi Ren also stood up, slightly bowed to Ruo yan," Great King."
Ruo yan slowly walked forward, sharp eyes swept at Feng ming's face, said in deep voice," Duke ming had subtle ident.i.ty, he will give Li kingdom great advantage, you must save him."
Yi Ren touched his grizzled beard, after thinking for a long while," I will try."
Miao guang rejoice," Thank you Master."
"Treatment need to be quiet, please Great King and princess away for a while, let me think more deeply."
After driving the crowd away, he took an elongated fabric bag from a wooden box, after opening the fabric bag, exposed rows and rows of of s.h.i.+ning needles.
Revoked a needle, then he acupuncture Feng Ming.
The Feng ming that have been sleeping for several days, the next day Feng ming finally opened his eyes under Yi Ren's acupuncture. Seeing eyelashes fluttered, Miao Guang who always stood beside unconsciously exclaimed a little," Duke Ming? Duke Ming has woken up? Master Yi Ren really increadibe."
Yi Ren smiled while touching his beard, and reminded," Although he's awake, But Duke ming severely injured, subsequent treatment is the most important."
The dark eyes finally slowly opened. The moment he opened his eyes, showing like a timid deer.
Ruo yan had been sitting on the bed, at the moment leaned forward and raised Feng ming's chin, laughed huskily:" Duke Ming, how have you been? Making me wait so long."
The man's strength made Feng ming frowned, he turned around in confusion, seemed not figured out the situation yet.
"Rong tian..."
"Rong tian?" Ruo yan chuckled," Don't need to spend your time for looking at Rong tian, he was being shot dead by my arrows, probably the corpse already rotting into a torrent."
Feng ming shocked, at the moment it seemed he just recognized the person before him, jewel-like eyes stared at Ruo yan, it took for a while before he gently shook his head," I don't believe."
Ruo yan's gaze sharp as needles, looked straight at Feng ming, coldly said:" Wait until i find his stinking corpse, then you will believe."
Feng ming's face showed no trace of color, stared at Ruo yan. He knew that Rong tian's at a dangerous situation, now listened to Ruo yan confirmed to himself yet felt another round of taste. He bit his lower lip, staring straight at Ruo yan, as if wanted to stare a hole in Ruo yan's face, the body stopped shaking, stiff as stone.
The air thickened.
Feng ming silenced, even a little crying traces are not showing.
Miao guang and Yi Ren gazed at each other, feeling something wrong.
Ruo yan also aware of there was something wrong, pulled Feng ming from the inner side of the bed to his side, grabbed his wrist and yelled:" Are you dumb?"
Feng ming's wrist being grabbed by him, but no resistance, still stared blankly, after a while, blinked his eyes, when he seemed want to speak, when the purple lips opened, actually made a sound and spitted out a dark red blood.
Ruo yan shocked, quickly let go. Miao guan covered her mouth to prevent the scream. Yi ren's eyes suddenly wide opened, screamed:" Not good!" flew to bedside, busy removed the needles and rescued.
Feng ming already fainted.
The needles being stick nonstop into Feng ming's body, Yi Ren didn't dareto have the slightest careless, densely covered with beads of sweat on forehead.
Miao guang stretched out his head to looked at them. Then turned around to looked at Ruo yan that stood beside, anxiously said," Brother King why make him angry? Master Yi Ren has been warned us, Duke Ming's body is weak, like a rickety boat, couldn't stand even a little storm."
Ruo tan also stared at Feng ming that lying on bed, coldly said," If it's not because of your uselessness to let him get away, there will not be this matter today.
Miao guang speechless, and looked down.
Yi Ren kept busy on Feng ming's body for a while, finally stopped, took a deep breath.
"How?" Ruo yan asked with a heavy voice behind.
Yi Ren turned around, hands gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, sighed said," The sudden anger attacked his heart, almost took his life away. If Great King want to save Duke Ming's life, please don't anger him anymore."
Ruo yan darkened his face," If i wouldn't allow him to die, then he won't die." He slightly frowned, walked and sat on the bed, his big hand caressed Feng ming's side face, asked," When will he wake up?"
"Soon." Yi Ren answered," But his body is frail, he got over-shocked, i don't dare to guess how's his condition after he woke up later."
"Hn, i know," Ruo yan nodded, coldly said," You all can go out."
"Yes, Great King."
"Brother King.." Miao Guang went to the door, still worried, turned and whispered, took a look at the back of Ruo yan's standing figure, but then she swallowed back, sighed faintly, and walked out"
Both sides of the maid, quietly withdrew and shut the door.
The incense still quietly burning to bring a burst of distant misty chambers fragrance, Ruo yan was sitting on the bed, the eyes staring at Feng ming was showing a King's plunder and fierce gaze.
It's very hard to explain his own feeling.
Hatred and taking advantage, deception and coercion, scheme and conspiracy, these complexes yet for the royal family is something as commonplace.
"Rong tian is really good to you." Gradually, the gloomy face softened a little. Ruo yan's handsome face thrown a little smile," You also are really good to Rong tian."
He sighed twice, his slender fingers untied Feng ming's clothes.
The naked body showed some scars, Ruo yan Gazed with appreciation, his eyes were like a living thing stroked it over and over again at the body.
He took off his robe, laid beside Feng ming, long arm stretched, slowly put Feng ming into his arms.
"Side with the beauty, is a King's luck." Ruo yan looked at Feng ming's obedient sleeping face, smiled and muttered," Rong tian has deep feeling, as if I could not? he has already dead, apart from me, who else you can choose?"
Closed eyes, fell asleep under the special incense of Li Kingdom.
At dawn, the person in his embrace moved slightly.
Ruo yan had the excessive sense of alert with Rong tian, eyes suddenly opened, stared at the sound-asleep Feng ming. Feng ming seemed to be in a good dream, her lips was smiling, slightly moved the body, sometimes frowned, as if he was being disturbed in the dream.
Ruo yan silenced, quietly gazing. He realized that when Feng ming frowned, unconsciously squeeze the head into his arms, like a newborn kitten, cute to the extreme, his soft hair brushed at Ruo yan's chin, felt tickled.
"Cough.."
Just when he wanted to reach out and touch the soft face, Feng ming coughed in his arms. He was still in a dream, his eyes still closed, coughed a few times, the smile in his lips disappeared, his brows began to wring, like jumping from a good dream to a nightmare. The coughing hadn't stopped, gradually shortened, his forehead started to sweat.
"Duke ming, Duke ming?" Ruo yan gently called two times, his heart suddenly threw incredible gentleness, gently patted at Feng ming's back.
Feng ming's cough got worse, eyelashes trembling at a moment and his eyes suddenly opened, stared straight at Ruo yan.
Ruo yan secretly alerted, put away the gentleness that emerged just then, coldly stared at him.
Feng didn't seem to fully awake, confused eyes blinked, blankly gazed at Ruo yan, suddenly exposed dazzling smile, softly said," You're back? very good, i know you will not leave me alone." such as voice still in hazy dream.
Ruo yan shocked.
Feng ming whispered, leaned in his arms, closed his eyes, as if in the warmest place on earth. Ruo yan let him voluntarily came closer, leaned on his chest, felt around surprisingly quiet, the heartbeat was faster than usual.
He pondered in silence, when he reached to checked his breath, found that he had fell asleep again.
Feng ming's leaning position was extremely uncomfortable, but he didn't move, instead, try to follow Feng ming's position. The chamber was so quiet, the place of the burning incense at the corner of the room flas.h.i.+ng red star points. Through faint moonlight from the window Ruo yan quietly staring at Feng ming's sleeping face, unconsciously, a few hours had pa.s.sed.
It had been bright outside.
Ruo yan got up in the morning, he put Feng ming's head back to the pillow. His hand stoked at Feng ming's hair over and over again, he was surprised when he realized that he was reluctant.
"Watch carefully, if there were any movements immediately report," After ordering the maid, he left the chamber for handling the kingdom's affairs.
Although Rong tian had been dead, but the troubles he had brought to Li Kingdom were far from being resolved. Over the years of suppressed rebellion, took advantage from this to made turmoils, thought of this point, Ruo yan hoped Rong tian hadn't died, so he could torture him slowly till death, to vent the hatred.
Unfortunately, Rong tian was being shot personally by him. He remembered Rong tian flew with the horse, one arrow after another was shot in his back, the ground shed a blood-red track, to the end of the rapids, the man riding the horse stopped and screamed, Rong tian already had no way to go.
"Xi rei had finished." he smiled softly, bow up arrow, targeting Rong tian.
Rong tian stopped the horse and turned back, his back, was roaring rapids, facing Ruo yan's arrows. Rong tian indeed was a popular person like Ruo yan, indeed Xi rei's king. Not the slightest fear in his eyes, just speak a word.
His voice, submerged in the roaring sound of the running water. Yet Ruo yan knew exactly what he was saying.
"Do not hurt my Feng ming," The last word he said," If you want to have him, don't hurt him."
Ruo yan shocked a bit in an instant, the flying arrows that should be shot in Rong tian's chest had landed in his shoulder, Rong tian tragically fell from the horse, blood spattered, on the yellow ground, leave a piece of beautiful flowers in full bloom in the blood.
The rapids near the Earth-Moon tribe not only swift, and mostly connected with underground rivers, ordered the soldiers to search within fifteen miles, still couldn't find Rong tian's body.
Bu, he must had died. No one could stand those wounds while being carried by the rapids.
Back to the palace chamber, Yi Ren had arrived, in the palace personally boiling the medicine.
Feng Ming hadn't woken up, lying lifeless in the blanket.
"Has he woken up yet?"
The maid hurriedly replied," Duke ming always sleeping, haven't woken up."
The sleeping Feng ming had a strange temperament, Ruo yan sat silently on the bed, and began to reach out to touch him unconsciously.
Handsome face, standing upright nose, and pale lips, being touched fondly by the fingertips.
Finally, Feng ming had woken up, moaned for a moment, as if waking from a dream was a difficult thing to do. The people in palace were waiting with bated breath. Then, a pair of beautiful eyes opened, whenever, the s.h.i.+ny eyes always flutter people.
"Duke ming had woken up?"
Feng ming's expression was more confused than yesterday, Ruo yan patiently waiting for him to react. The dark eyes filled with confusion, Feng ming turned his head, saw Miao guang who just entered the palace chamber, bright s.h.i.+ning eyes," Chiu Lan, Why did i not recognize the people in here?" Feng ming stretched his hand to Miao guang, but the mouth was calling 'Chiu Lan."
Everyone froze for a moment, Miao guang stopped his step, stared at Feng ming puzzled.
She shouted carefully," Duke ming?"
Feng ming frowned said," Why you stand so far? where is Rong tian?"
"I....." Miao guang astounded, afterturning her eyes, tentatively approached, smiled," I'm not standing far, Duke ming, do you know what this place is?"
Feng ming looked around, laughed," Chiu Lan, you're really confused, not even recognize the Prince Palace, yet you have spent so many years here. Don't tell me when you grilled the duck yesterday, the fire made you confused?"
Yi ren and Miao guang exchanged eyes, Yi Ren slightly shook his head, using his finger to point at his own head, showing something wrong with Feng ming's head.
"Have you prepared it?" Feng ming asked again.
Miao guang confused," Prepare what?"
"Today we will examined the terracing, what happened to you, why you are so groggy early in the morning."
"Oh, oh, yeah, yeah." Miao guang immediately changed her way of speaking," But the Great King had ordered that we can't go out from the palace today."
"Why?"
"Because..because.." Miao guang could not think of reasons at the moment, her brain worked so hard to come up with a reason.
Feng ming's expression changed, loudly said," I know, That the most beautiful woman wan to come, right? Rong tian must want to accompany her, not letting me know."
He felt agitated, coughed a few times again and again, Miao guang startled and hurriedly patted his back, shook her head and said," No, no, Great King will not care about that most beautiful woman." This was the first time she encountered such a thing, embarra.s.sed and worried, frequently looked at Yi Ren for help."
Yi Ren took a pen and paper, wrote a few words to show her---When the risk is extreme, just enticed him. Now back to the environment, fear of the unexpected health.
Feng ming looked dazed," Where is Rong tian?" His eyes shone, seemed wet, suddenly frowned, startled and whispered," Rong tian has gone, there is a man saying that Rong tian has gone, who? who said that?"
Everyone was shocked, afraid that he had already remembered that Rong tian had died.
Miao guang hurriedly said," Great king will immediately come, after he handled the affairs he will immediately come over."
"You lied to me, he must be seeing that woman," Feng ming growled and looked around, just like an orphan losing his support, actually cried," Rong tian, where are you?"
Ruo yan had been quietly observed at the side, suddenly his heart moved, said with heavy voice," I'm here." Pull Feng ming over from Miao guang, gently hugged, patting Feng ming's back, gave a sign to Miao guang and smiled," I'm perfectly fine, who said i have been gone? That most beautiful woman not even as good looking as you, i will not go see her."
Miao guang said," Duke ming, look, the Great king has come. If you still crying, he will mock you."
Feng ming really fooled, stopped his crying, fell into Ruo yan's arm while rubbing his eyes, shyly said," who cry, that must not be me."
