Eunuch's Declaration of Loyalty

Chapter 66

Qin Shu had an injury on his leg, but when he came back, Liu Qingtang asked the palace servants to help him take a bath, but he was still unwilling. He only said that he could do it, and insisted on washing himself.Liu Qingtang had no choice but to agree, and after he went to the bathtub to take a bath, he swaggered in too.

Ci'an Palace, like the emperor's Chang'an Palace, has a pool specially for the master to bathe in. Originally, Qin Shu wanted to go back to his own place and ask someone to carry a bathtub to wash, but Liu Qingtang said that it was too troublesome to let him Going back, he forced him to let go and go to the bathtub where she usually bathed.

After watching Qin Shu go in with her own eyes, Liu Qingtang, who had promised him to go back to the palace to wait for him, also walked in without changing her expression. He also took off his outer robe, and changed into a light clothes that he usually wears, and then went into the inner room with the wound medicine.Although Qin Shu said nothing was wrong, he was injured after all, so it must be difficult to wash, and he didn't let the palace servants serve him, so she had to come by herself.

Qin Shu had already taken off his dark clothes at the moment, and when Liu Qingtang entered, he was taking off the white shirt on top. In the past, Liu Qingtang would definitely have teased him, but now she saw it at a glance. Qin Shu's legs were soaked with white trouser legs, turning into large dark red blood stains, his face changed and he walked over quickly and said, "Why is it so serious?"

When he was in the carriage, Qin Shu only said that his leg was worn out. At that time, she looked at him through the outer clothes. Although she knew that his thigh was injured and bleeding, but when she returned to the palace, she saw that Qin Shu was still alive. He was supported by someone, and although his steps were a little bumpy and he walked slowly, he didn't show much pain.Liu Qingtang thought the situation was fine, but he didn't expect it to be so serious. Qin Shu didn't say anything, his trouser legs were almost covered with blood.

"Qingtang?" Qin Shu was stunned for a moment, and then he understood clearly that Qingtang would not follow other people's ideas.He couldn't cover it up like this, so he didn't cover it up at all. He just looked at Liu Qingtang's bad face and tried to explain, "Although it looks like there's a lot of bleeding, it's actually not that serious."

"Didn't you say it's stuck, how do you take it off now?" Liu Qingtang walked to Qin Shu's side, looked at his legs and frowned.

Qin Shu supported the wall with his expression unchanged, and said in an ordinary way: "Just take it off like this, Qingtang, turn around, it might be a bit... indecent later."

Still caring about this at this time, Liu Qingtang gave him a distressed and anxious look, urging him to hurry up, it's nothing to be hurt like this.

Qin Shu's movements were also straightforward, without shaking his hands, he just peeled off the pants stuck to the wound, but Liu Qingtang, who was watching beside him, couldn't help but turn his head to the side.It's not that she has never seen blood, she has killed people with her own hands, but when she saw Qin Shu's bloody legs and the blood gushing from the open wound, she still felt her heart tremble twice, and she didn't dare to look straight Look.

"It hurts?"

Qin Shu leaned there, gritted his teeth to overcome the pain before speaking, "It doesn't hurt much now."

Liu Qingtang knew it was useless to ask him such a question, so she stopped asking such questions and reached out to help him. "I'll help you over there, quickly wash and apply the medicine for you, and then you'll lie on the bed for two months, and you won't be allowed to get out of bed if you're not hurt enough."

If she refuted at this time, she would probably be angry, so Qin Shu agreed in a good voice, put down the pants with flesh and blood stains in his hands, and let Liu Qingtang help him to sit by the pool.

"Don't go into the water, I'll wash it for you." Liu Qingtang rolled up her sleeves, and unskillfully fetched water from the pool to wash Qin Shu's hair and body.When it reached his back, Liu Qingtang touched the protruding bone on it, and suddenly leaned over and bit his shoulder in a state of unrest. "Look at you, you managed to grow some meat before, and you became so thin again!" After speaking, she rubbed the shallow tooth marks in frustration, "Why can't you work less, and you can't gain weight anyway. "

"It's my fault." Qin Shu didn't refute at all, he really did what Liu Qingtang said.

Liu Qingtang snorted, and took his hand to wash his hands again.But when it was time to wash her thighs, Liu Qingtang couldn't do it anymore. After scrubbing the blood that meandered down to her ankles, she didn't dare to touch the side of the large scratches.Qin Shu had no choice but to come by himself, and did not forget to tell her, "You can close your eyes first, and I will wash it right away."

Liu Qingtang ignored him, watched him scrubbing his hands indiscriminately, and shouted, "You should be gentle!" Although Qin Shu was in pain, he suddenly couldn't laugh or cry when he heard her say this. Move lightly according to her will.It looked as if it wasn't him who was hurt, but she.He saw her distress and worry, and suddenly felt very heartwarming and happy, and she could always make him feel this feeling.

Qin Shu applied the medicine himself, because Liu Qingtang dared not touch it with trembling hands, and squatted beside her, frowning and looking at it, it was almost piled up together.Qin Shu comforted her while taking the medicine, but he was not very good at comforting others, and repeated the two sentences "I don't hurt" and "I'll be fine soon".

After finally getting everything done, Liu Qingtang, who was watching by the side, was more tired than Qin Shu himself, so he simply fell asleep with Qin Shu.

All the doors of Ci'an Palace were closed by Liu Qingtang's order. The palace people who were panicked by the plague all let them stay in their rooms, leaving only the guards and some palace people who used important places. Quiet like never before.In other words, the entire palace, except for the cries from the direction of the Mingshou Palace where the people of the Plague Palace gathered, the rest of the place was extremely quiet.

Everything to be done was almost ordered, so Liu Qingtang simply let go and stayed by Qin Shu's side, staying in Ci'an Palace with peace of mind.

"You mean that you specially hired an artist to draw a lot of paintings?"

"Yes, it's just that I came back in a hurry and forgot to bring it with me." Qin Shu lay on the couch by the window, leaning against the back, and there was a small table in front of him, on which were the words and ink he was writing. Paper inkstone.Liu Qingtang was sitting next to him, reading a casual book in his hand, and while chatting with him, he didn't forget to pick up a piece of candied fruit, bit half of it himself, and handed the rest to Qin Shu's mouth.

Qin Shu bit his head sideways, his eyes still looking at the words he was writing, and was caught off guard by Liu Qingtang's lick at the corner of his mouth.

"Honey juice is rubbing against her lips." After the kiss, Liu Qingtang sat back calmly, but the smug smile on the edge of her red lips was clearly visible.She continued to read with her chin propped up, leaving Qin Shu to face the big blotch of ink on a sheet she was about to finish writing, and calmly changed to another sheet and re-wrote.

As for what Qin Shu had agreed to tell her about the journey south, Qin Shu, who had seen it with his own eyes, described the scenery more vividly than Liu Qingtang, who had only read the picture books of travel notes.And the questions Liu Qingtang asked, such as "What is the busiest building on the famous Flower Street in Huajun at night?" He said he has great fist and kick skills", Qin Shu couldn't answer any of them.

In fact, Liu Qingtang didn't expect Qin Shu to answer. After all, after thinking about it, he knew that a person as uninterested and boring as him would definitely not go to those places, and he didn't care much about eating special foods.She just likes to see Qin Shu being speechless when asked these questions, dumbfounded and ashamed, wanting to say something but not wanting to disappoint her, can only hesitate and look elsewhere, obviously thinking about what to say in her heart, very funny.

Because Liu Qingtang took care of her closely and took good medicine to feed her, Qin Shu's injury soon formed a purple-red scab.Then on that day, Yang Sushu also sent someone to bring news that the prescription had been developed, and it could obviously curb the deterioration of the disease in patients who had not been infected for a long time.Hearing this news, Liu Qingtang was determined.

Later, doctor's clinics all over the country became busy, and because some medicinal materials in the prescriptions were not enough in Yujing City, Liu Qingtang asked the soldiers guarding outside the city to transfer them from nearby counties.In short, after the prescription for curing the plague was developed, the whole Yujing was in a hurry for a while before it was truly escaped from the haze of the plague.

Three months have passed since the beginning of the plague and the reopening of the closed Yujing.When the Ministry of Finance reported the approximate death toll of Yu Jing, it was only a small half of the final death toll of the plague in his previous life.Even so, Liu Qingtang was silent for a while behind that simple number.Human life is the most important thing. In the face of this natural disaster, they have done everything they can, but they still cannot save everyone's life.

The Mingshou Palace in the palace was burned down just like in the previous life. Liu Qingtang personally chose the site and built another one in another place. The Mingshou Palace that turned into ashes was built by someone to hold thousands of ever-burning lamps. of the main hall.

Those who cared about survived this plague, Liu Qingtang was grateful, and after Qin Shu's injury did not affect his walking, the two went out of the palace to visit Liu's father and brother.Qin Shu was pulled by Liu Guogong in the study and killed more than a dozen games of Go, while Liu Qingtang talked with Xi Lan, who was said to be disguised as a man. Lan picked up the walnuts on the table and beat them out.While Liu Qingtang looked melancholy, she also felt extremely happy.

Her sister-in-law should find this kind of brother who is not used to her brother, who should be beaten when she needs to be beaten, and the men of the Liu family can afford to be beaten.As for Qin Shu, her family's Qin Shu didn't play as well as her elder brother, and she was so distressed that it was too late, so she couldn't bear to fight.Besides, the Liu family, regardless of gender, their own daughter-in-law must take good care of them. Of course, this kind of thing can't be said to Qin Shu.

After spending the whole morning at Liu's house and having lunch, Liu Qingtang and Qin Shu went to Yang's mansion again as usual. Who knew that just after entering, they saw the busy inside, but when they asked, it was that Yang Sushu was about to give birth.

Liu Qingtang had already helped her friend find a reliable midwife, and now she and Qin Shu were waiting outside the yard.Xiao Huai and Ben were also waiting outside, but he leaned on the window and looked in uneasily, obviously unable to speak, but as if he understood something ahh, he shouted hoarsely, Liu Qingtang couldn't bear to listen, and directly asked him Go in and stay with Yang Sushu, don't care what rules he has.

Listening to Yang Sushu's yelling inside, the cup of tea in Liu Qingtang's hand trembled with fright. For the first time at this moment, she felt that it was great that she didn't have to have a baby.

Before the sun set, Yang Sushu gave birth to a baby boy, both mother and child were safe.

Liu Qingtang was overjoyed at first, then smiled, and sent someone to Liu's house to ask for a team of personal guards to guard Yang's house.Facing Qin Shu's suspicious eyes, Liu Qingtang smiled, looked in the direction of the palace and said, "This child is also surnamed Xiao."
