Concubine all over the world

Chapter 55
This time, Hua Man'er made preparations in advance, and the mechanism was re-set up.

As soon as Li Muhan reached the foot of the mountain, a sentry immediately notified Hua Man'er.Shen Hanxiao hurriedly let Hua Man'er lie on the bed.

The villagers in Qixia Mountain have long known about the princess' grievances, and they all cooperated with the performance.All of them came to visit one after another with worried expressions on their faces.The table is full of herbs, supplements and fresh flowers and fruits for the princess.

Hua Man'er got a little impatient and wanted to get up to find out.Suddenly, footsteps came from outside, Shen Hanxiao hurriedly signaled Hua Man'er to lie down quickly.

Hua Man'er put on light makeup on her face, as if poisoned, with a thin layer of black and purple.The "group performers" surrounding the bed were also very involved, instantly showing worried expressions and whispering about the princess' condition.

Li Muhan came over in three steps at a time, sat on the edge of the bed and bent over to look at Hua Man'er, and was startled by her expression.

He shook her: "Get up, Hua Man'er, get up for me! Don't pretend to be dead!"

The tone was still simple and rude.

Shen Hanxiao sighed quietly: "Oh, she didn't pretend to be dead, she wanted to die?"

"Begging to die? What do you mean?" Li Muhan tightened his eyebrows, his eagle eyes stared at Shen Hanxiao sharply.

Shen Han said with a smile: "I told Your Majesty before that the blood is not transfused randomly, and something will happen. No, something really happened. However, I still have a way to help the princess to cleanse the blood and detoxify. It's just that the princess is very uncooperative , She vomited whatever herbal medicine was given to her. Occasionally she woke up and wanted to die. The will to live is so weak, even Hua Tuo is still alive, and he is helpless!"

"Begging to die?" Li Muhan repeated again.It's just that this time, the tone is no longer simple and rude, but much softer; the eagle eyes are no longer sharp, but a little confused.

"How is it possible? How could this woman want to die without changing her expression even when a 20-strong army is overwhelming her? You also said that this poison can be cured, so why should she want to die?" Li Muhan stared at Shen Hanxiao suspiciously, You conspired to deceive me.

Shen Hanxiao stared at Li Muhan fixedly, stroked his beard, and said solemnly: "It's because of you."

"I?"

"Yes, because His Majesty wants Madam Hua to go back. She doesn't want to. She would rather die than go back!" Shen Hanxiao hit the nail on the head.

Li Muhan was furious: "Why is this reasonable? I have already promised that if I go back, the queen's throne will be hers. It's such an honor to be the mother of the world, why doesn't she want it?"

"It's also because of you." Shen Hanxiao went all out, for the sake of Hua Man'er, he had to be blunt and act out the play to the end.

"Why? Tell me quickly! Shen Hanxiao, tell me all at once! I don't have the patience to listen to your eccentric talk!" Li Muhan became irritable, like a lion with its tail burned.

Shen Hanxiao hurriedly stood up, bowed solemnly and saluted: "Then my minister risked his life to remonstrate directly. A woman would rather not be the queen than stay by His Majesty's side. Shouldn't His Majesty reflect on it? The time when this minister knew Mrs. Hua It’s not long, but I have personally seen you make people beat her with twenty lashes. Before this, I heard that His Majesty often beat her, kicked her, and insulted her. If a person’s body is always ravaged and in pain, Then the rich clothes and fine food are placed in front of her, I am afraid that she has no intention of accepting them."

Li Muhan was silent, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of haze, his cool lips were tightly pressed, but he didn't seem to have any signs of anger.

Han Feng went on to help: "Doctor Shen is right. Your Majesty, I still remember the days when she was wearing shackles by your side. Not only was she unable to move freely, but she was often insulted and beaten by you. Even if she is a normal and dignified A woman cannot bear this kind of humiliation in front of His Majesty, let alone Mrs. Hua is a pure, noble and arrogant princess. It is understandable that she does not want to be the queen..."

"Yes." Shen Hanxiao continued the conversation as if singing a double reed, "Perhaps these things have left a shadow in her heart, so when she saw that we were sent by His Majesty to invite her back, she was afraid It happened that at this time, the poison in her body broke out. I tried my best to save her, but she vomited whatever she ate and wanted to die. It is conceivable that she was afraid that she would come back to life, and His Majesty would arrest her and let her live. Life is better than death."

"Shut up! What's 'life is better than death'?" Li Muhan finally got angry, pointing at Shen Hanxiao, "You, you, it's all you, and you..."

He pointed his finger at Han Feng again: "All of this is the subjective assumption of the two of you, and it is by no means true. Did she say it herself? What you eat and throw up is just a pathological reaction. How could it be what you think?"

Shen Hanxiao sighed: "It's true, Your Majesty, it's her ramblings when she occasionally wakes up in a daze."

"Whispering?" Li Muhan's voice cooled down, and he asked with confusion, "What ravings?"

"In a daze, she pushed aside my medicine bowl, and then said: No, no, I don't want to live..."

Shen Hanxiao imitated Hua Man'er delicately, her hands were still teasing, as if she had really knocked over the medicine bowl.

"I don't want to drink. I just want to die. If I die, I won't be beaten or scolded again. If I die, I won't be forced to return to the palace. If I die, I'll be done with it. I'll leave completely. Get out! Li Muhan! I don't want to go back, don't go back , I am a human being, not a dog. Even if it is done to a dog, why is it done to me?"

When Shen Hanxiao yelled "Get out", the finger suddenly pointed at Li Muhan.

Li Muhan was slightly stunned, his eyes turned extremely cold for an instant, and he gave Shen Hanxiao a dangerous look.

Shen Hanxiao quickly withdrew her fingers, and explained in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I... I'm just imitating Mrs. Hua, and I didn't mean to offend. Every sentence is true, and there is absolutely no falsehood. Everyone present can testify."

"Yes, yes, we all heard and saw with our own eyes—" the neighbors all testified.

Looking back on the past, Li Muhan seemed to be silent as Shen Hanxiao and Han Feng said.

Han Feng stepped forward and persuaded: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, why not make a promise that you will not beat her or scold her in the future, and respect her in everything. Maybe she will not want to die in her subconscious mind."

Shen Hanxiao, as if suddenly enlightened, patted his forehead and said loudly: "Yes, yes, that's the reason! This heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. And the introduction of this heart medicine must be you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, what did you do at the beginning? I mistakenly thought Mrs. Hua was Hua Yiyang's biological daughter, so I blamed her for my hatred towards Hua Yiyang. Now that it's not true, do I owe her an apology?"

"Yes," Han Feng firmly supported, "I should apologize! Mrs. Hua was wrong for letting out the medicine, and she deserved to be whipped twenty times; but, Your Majesty misunderstood her, shouldn't she also be whipped a few times?"

"Shut up, Han Feng, you're tired of working!" Li Muhan scolded with veins popping on his forehead, "Eat the inside out, you two don't push yourself!"

"Okay, okay, at least an apology is necessary." Han Feng asked fearlessly.

"Hmph," the corners of Li Muhan's lips twitched disdainfully, "Why are you apologizing? Even if she's not Hua Yiyang's daughter, she's also Li Xuqing's daughter, damn it!"

"Hey, look, you're still so angry at her so far, no wonder she wants to die!" Shen Hanxiao also felt that Li Muhan was stubborn, so she couldn't help but speak a little harder, and defended Hua Man'er, "She would rather die, It is right not to go back to be the queen. Your Majesty's heart disease is not cured, and whenever he thinks of being angry with her and punching and kicking her again, then it's worth not going back."

Li Muhan yelled: "Shen, Han, Xiao, you don't want to live, do you?"

Shen Hanxiao immediately covered her mouth with a fan, and then spread her hands helplessly: "I don't dare. Whether to apologize, to admit my mistake, to promise or not, it is up to His Majesty to decide. Only in this way, I will not be able to save Hua Madame, life and death are up to her."

Li Muhan frowned, and couldn't help but glance back at Hua Man'er.

At this time, a strong man in his thirties walked out from the crowd of onlookers with his head held high. The man knelt down in front of Li Muhan as soon as he stepped out of the queue, and said: "Your Majesty, Cao Min is the cousin of General Huabao, and he is This Qixia village has just elected the village chief Hua Hongtai. The grassroots have the courage to speak out, please be patient!"

"Oh?" Li Muhan looked at Hua Hongtai intently, and sure enough, there was a bit of a leopard between his brows, "Hua Hongtai? Go ahead!"

Hua Hongtai said with emotion: "The grievances between the princess and your majesty cannot be discussed by the subjects. However, the grievances between the princess and the barbarians are well known to every barbarian. Li Xu celebrates the death of my barbarian, and the devastation caused by the barbarian has become every barbarian. It is a nightmare that cannot be erased from people's hearts. Each of us has relatives and friends who died in this war. The pain we have suffered is no less than His Majesty's, and the hatred in our hearts is no less than His Majesty's."

"However, when we knew that the princess was not a barbarian, but Li Xuqing's own daughter, we were shocked, but we had no way to blame the princess. Because we trusted the princess we knew, who was knowledgeable, upright, and kind. Noble princess. The princess has done her best to protect the barbarians, and we all remember the pains and sufferings she has put in for the barbarians."

"So, we hate Li Xuqing, but we will not vent our anger on her. On the contrary, we love her. It is precisely because she is not our barbaric princess, but she can kill relatives righteously, which is what we admire the most. She He is risking his life to help us, how dare we avenge him?"

These stern words were like a thunderbolt exploding in Li Muhan's head.

"Revenge for kindness? Are you talking about me?" Li Muhan's eyes were full of anger, and he pursed his thin lips, trying his best to restrain his anger.

"No!" Hua Hongtai quickly lowered his head, "The grass people are saying that the barbarians really love the princess in their hearts. Your majesty is the first emperor's son, and I hope that your majesty will be grateful for the princess. In fact, there is no need for the princess to help us like this. ,Is not it?"

He was so forced by the cold light in Li Muhan's eagle eyes that he couldn't look directly at her, but for the sake of the princess, he had no choice but to complain.Anyway, General Han said he would be safe, so he should be fine.

"Your Majesty, even your barbarian people can forgive Hua Man'er and love her, isn't it possible that Your Majesty can't do that? Isn't Your Majesty's mind not as broad as that of a small commoner? Smile." Han Feng opened the skylight to speak honestly, put his hand on his saber, and stared straight at Li Muhan.

Li Muhan had a sullen and handsome face, and after pondering for a while, Fang lightly raised his hands: "You all go down and leave the medicine behind. I will feed it myself, so I don't believe she won't take it."

Everyone obeyed the order and withdrew.

Once outside the house, Han Feng asked everyone to disperse.

Shen Hanxiao greeted them, and the two of them peeked under the window secretly.

Not that they are voyeurs.It's just that the last sentence Li Muhan said, "Feed it yourself, I don't believe she won't eat it", and his gloomy expression made people worry whether he would suddenly go crazy and beat Hua Man'er again.

Hua Man'er's heart was pounding, these people talked too much, they had been pretending to be dead for so long, they were almost unable to hold on anymore, not only failed to perform their tricks, but also had to face Li Muhan alone.

Li Muhan took the medicine bowl from the table, walked to the side of the bed and sat down.

He scooped up a spoonful of concoction with a spoon, and gently poured it between Hua Man'er's lips|petals.Hua Man'er remained frozen, she just didn't open her mouth.

The medicine soup flows down the chin along the lips, and also flows to the cheeks on both sides.

"Eat, man, you eat, be good, count... count my mistake, is that okay? I shouldn't take my anger out on you, so you can obediently drink the concoction and return to the palace with me obediently?"

Li Muhan suddenly bowed his head to admit his mistake, his voice was gentle and magnetic.

Is this dreaming?

Hua Man'er couldn't help asking questions.

He scooped up another spoonful for her to drink, but she remained motionless, letting the soup drip down.Not only wet the pillow, quilt, but also wet the chin and neck.

Another spoonful, and still...

Li Muhan was originally impatient, and lost his patience in an instant, growling: "Drink, drink, if you don't drink, how will the poison be cured? How can I do it?"

Han Feng suddenly straightened his legs and stood up, but was grabbed back by Shen Hanxiao.

Shen Hanxiao shook his head and winked, telling him to wait and see what happened.

Sure enough, this change is still big.

Li Muhan, who was still roaring a second ago, suddenly took a big gulp of the medicine juice, leaned down to press her mouth, and poured the medicine juice in.

Hua Man'er gritted his teeth tightly to prevent him from breaking in, but after a while of struggle, he still won, drove straight in, and poured the soup into it.

Shen Hanxiao and Han Feng were dumbfounded.

Shen Hanxiao raised the fan in his hand and covered his eyes, then turned to cover Han Feng's eyes.

Han Feng glared at him and pushed the fan away.

When he looked in again, he saw Hua Man'er spit out all the soup in his mouth on Li Muhan's face, Li Muhan was so angry that even his eyes turned green.

Regardless, Hua Man'er simply pushed Li Muhan away, woke up with blurred eyes, and murmured in a daze: "Don't, don't bully me, don't beat me, don't scold me, don't—"

"You're awake, Man'er, be good, be obedient, take your medicine—" Li Muhan was overjoyed, quickly took the medicine bowl, and fed it with a spoon, but this time, even the spoon and the bowl were taken away by Hua Man'er .

The porcelain bowl fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, but Hua Man'er didn't seem to care at all.She lifted the quilt and landed on the ground barefoot.

In order to avoid her feet being stabbed, Li Muhan hurriedly dragged her to the ground without broken porcelain, and hugged her tightly: "Hua Maner, take medicine, do you hear me take medicine?"

"Don't eat! I don't want to eat! I don't want to live anymore. I want to die. He wants me to go back. He is a big devil. He will beat me and bully me. Last time he beat me with a whip. I'm afraid, I'm so scared, I don't want to go back, I can't go back, dying of illness is better than killing me, I can't go back..."

Hua Man'er hid in Li Muhan's arms, with disheveled hair, crying.

Li Muhan felt strange in his heart, like a soft reed passing by the lake in his heart.

The Hua Man'er he knew, no matter how much he abused her, she always looked lonely and stubborn, sometimes panicked like a little girl.Such a contrast easily aroused ripples in his heart.

He couldn't help but hugged her tightly, and promised and apologized in her ear: "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I won't beat you or scold you in the future. You are my queen, how can I scold you again? I won't either I hold grudges against you. Hua Hongtai's words really awaken people in their dreams. I can't be inferior to an ordinary person. Maner, don't be afraid anymore, come back to life. If you come back to life, I will take you back to the palace."

His gentle apology made Hua Man'er doubtful in his dreams.

Lifting her misty phoenix eyes, she caught a glimpse of Han Feng and Shen Hanxiao who were peeping under the window. Her head rested on Li Muhan's broad shoulders, so she closed her eyes, blinked at them, and smiled.

Then, she suddenly pushed Li Muhan away violently, took several steps back, showing a look of panic: "Who are you? Who is I? What is I? Where are you taking me? I don't want to go, you have to be like Li Muhan Hit me, right? I'll kill you, kill you..."

While yelling, Hua Man'er looked left and right, and then suddenly found a horsewhip hanging on the wall, rushed up to get it, and whipped Li Muhan down.

clap, clap, clap...

The whip scraped across Li Muhan's handsome face sharply, revealing streaks of blood.Li Muhan was caught off guard and was whipped more than a dozen times, causing him to hiss in pain.

He quickly grabbed the whip with his backhand, and was about to get angry when he heard Hua Man'er crying and fell to the ground, yelling in horror: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't dare to whip you anymore, I whipped you, Li Muhan again If you want to take it back, I'm afraid of killing you. I don't want to live, don't take medicine, don't take medicine..."

Hua Man'er ran to the bed and pulled up the quilt to cover her head and face.

Li Muhan held the horsewhip in his hand, the wound on his face was hot and painful, he stood blankly for a while, then gritted his teeth suddenly, and walked towards the bed...

He lifted up the quilt, strangled Hua Man'er's left wrist, and lifted it.

Hua Man'er was startled, her eyes filled with horror: "What are you going to do? I was wrong, can't it be okay? I don't want to live anymore, can't it be okay? I'm sorry..."

Big and big pearl-like tears fell down.

"Hua Man'er, if I let you whip me back, you will forgive me and be willing to take medicine! If so, I will let you whip me back!" Li Muhan opened his mouth with great determination.

Thinking about what everyone said just now, it is true that Hua Man'er was wronged too much before.Now that there is no one around, then she will be whipped back, as long as she is willing to take medicine...

"Uh—really?" Hua Man'er seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then smiled and jumped up excitedly from the bed, "Hee hee hee, okay, then you, a person named 'Zhen' Endure, don't be afraid of the pain, I will hit you gently..."

As Hua Man'er said, she snatched the whip from Li Muhan's hand, and whipped it down hard...
