Chapter 88
Chapter 11 Silver Needle Passing Acupoints
He heard the heavy red palace door close behind him, making a scalp-numbing "creak" sound.Only then did Su Mi realize that she had finally walked out of the palace without any danger.

Liu Quan jumped out of the car to say hello to his companions, and bid farewell to everyone. While speaking, the car quickly turned a corner and entered the alley next to it.

Su Mi felt that she had lost strength all over her body. A gust of wind blew by and she shivered suddenly. After this scene, even though she was not the protagonist, she also broke out in a cold sweat.

A piece of clothing that was still warm fell down and fell on her body. She raised her head, and it was Qi Hao, who was looking at her with concern.

After giving her the coat on his body, Qi Hao stepped forward to take the driving whip from her hand: "Leave it to me first."

Su Mi's heart warmed up, and she couldn't help but smile with relief. She wanted to let go of the whip in her hand, but she kept moving her hand. She immediately realized that her hand was stiff just now due to the extreme trembling tension and the bone-penetrating cold. up.

Qi Taki noticed Su Mi's strangeness, and he stepped forward to hold her hand.

Feeling the scorching temperature covering her hands, Su Mi's hands quickly regained consciousness.

Liu Quan, who had finished greeting everyone, turned in, Su Mi quickly withdrew his hand a little bit at a loss, and handed the car over to Qi Hao.

The businessmen who came out together had already gone home and dispersed, only Liu Quan, Qi Hao and the grinning boy in the car were left. He was the boy from Donglailou.Seeing that he was out of the Liao army's attention, he put away his poor disguise, turned to Su Mi and asked respectfully, "Second Miss, are you alright? Excuse me for your hard work. "He is the connector of Ge Chengming's forces left here.

"I'm fine, don't worry, but this time, Xiao Xu, you have suffered a lot." The young man's name is Xu Frame, and he is Su Mi's father's old department, so she is naturally familiar with it.

"It's just a little injury, and if you don't get a little injury, you can't hide it from those savages." Xu Jia smiled nonchalantly: "There are more serious injuries in the battlefield than this, and we rough people don't feel pain, miss do not worry about it."

Su Mi nodded gratefully, then turned to Liu Quan and saluted, saying, "Su Mi is here to thank Boss Liu."

"Where is the empress talking? Isn't this killing the villain?" Liu Quan said at a loss: "Speaking of which, the villain should thank the empress. If the empress didn't let me go and offer silver taels to serve Ni Yuan, now I, Liu Quan, have already lost my family."

Su Mi secretly felt ashamed, she didn't know that Ni Yuan would rebel.On the one hand, she asked Liu Quan to please Ni Yuan because she hoped to keep Liu Qiyan's child, so she could do her part for the girl in the deep palace who treated her sincerely.On the other hand, it is for the sake of her own power. The power she took over from Ge Chengming is mainly in the business travel and restaurant business. It is naturally beneficial and harmless to associate with Liu Quan, who is the leader of the merchants in the capital.

But by coincidence, Liu Qiyan didn't keep it, lost the east corner and harvested the mulberry elm, which had such an effect instead.

At that time, although she had a very high opinion of Ni Yuan, she never expected that he would have such boldness and ambition that he would be able to control the whole Daqi and the whole world in his palm, turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain .

However, there is no need to say these words now.

"...After the Liao army entered the city, all the wealthy merchants and wealthy families were looted and looted. Only those of us who are close to Ni Yuan on a daily basis are a little better." Liu Quan continued, then he shook his head, his face There was a horrific expression on his face: "Oh, we ordinary people are still like this, and the rich and powerful families like the Wang family and the Wu family are even more..."

Su Mi was gloomy for a while. She stayed in the palace to serve these days, and the words of those Liao army generals boasting about their merits would come to her ears from time to time.It is nothing more than how many wealthy households have been robbed today, and where the shops are going to be searched tomorrow, or what royal family members have been captured, how many beauties have been captured, or the family members of the former anti-Liao generals have been slaughtered. ...

In order to unify the political power, Da Qi completely cut off the possibility of rebellion, so the royal family was not enfeoffed. Most of the clan nobles and relatives of honored nobles lived in the capital, but now they were wiped out by the Liao army.These rich and nobles who were proud and arrogant in ordinary times were now the focus of the Liao army's looting, and they were reduced to the fattest fat in the mouths of these robbers.

Liu Quan looked up at the sky, with tears in his eyes, and said: "At first, I regretted that my child was unlucky after all. But I just walked around in the palace, and saw those girls in the palace now... oh , this child is lucky to go just like that..."

Su Mi heard a burst of sadness from the side.Thinking of those women in the palace who are scheming and scheming, no matter how sophisticated their methods are and how meticulous their schemes are, they are all cobwebs, no matter how fine and crystal clear they are, they are no match for a violent storm. devastated.

They are either innocent, or domineering, or arrogant, or cowardly, but what is the difference in what happens now?
Some of them choose to commit suicide for the sake of chastity, some are tortured to death because of unbearable humiliation, and some are forced to smile and serve the enemies who destroy their families and countries.Who knows, whether I can still laugh tomorrow, whether I can still live.

Liu Qiyan's death, if calculated according to the time, was indeed at the right time.Her tomb ended the day before the city was broken, witnessing the last glory of this harem.

But his beloved daughter has gone like this, how should her father feel?And those concubines who are struggling to survive in the palace, as well as their families...

Seeing that the matter was successful, they talked for a while before Liu Quan left and returned home by himself.Su Mi and the others drove the carriage to Zhuque Street in the north of the capital.

Su Mi still remembered the vigor and vitality of the city she saw when she went out of the palace to Hanshan Temple last time.But now along the way, the originally prosperous and prosperous Daqi capital is as lonely and desolate as a dead city. There are almost no pedestrians on the street, and the doors of daily shops and restaurants are closed and locked.From time to time on the road, you can see the miserable scene after being looted by the rich and wealthy people who used to have exquisite and magnificent doors.There are even traces of being burned by the fire in many shops, and there are dark red blood stains in front of the door, which is shocking.

A few people sat in the car, Qi Hao drove the car, quickly passed through several houses, turned around and entered an alley, and stopped in front of a somewhat dilapidated back door, where Ge Chengming and the others were working. Qi Jing's base camp, the back door of Donglai Building.

People who had been arranged here earlier came out to meet them.Only now did Su Mi let out a long breath, she was finally safe.

Qi Hao took Su Mi into the building with ease.

Just after entering the courtyard, a woman rushed out with a baby in her arms, "Ma'am," she shouted in surprise, "Ma'am, you have escaped, and you are worried about dying slaves." .

It turned out to be Mi Qing, Su Mi was also overjoyed.She was always worried that the Liao army came too fast at that time, and Mi Qing didn't have time to run out.I just asked Xu frame to know that she escaped safely.

The little baby in her arms is Qi Taki's son who hasn't had time to name him. His eyes are dark and bright. When he sees Su Mi, he is not afraid of strangers at all. His chubby little hands are stretched out,
Feeling pity in Su Mi's heart, she stretched out her hand to hug Mi Qing from her arms, and gently rocked him, the little baby let out a "giggle" laugh in her arms.

Su Mi couldn't help laughing out loud, hugging the child in her arms, looking at her companions, she was finally convinced that she was out of danger, and the fear these days had completely passed.The body and mind that have been tense for a long time these days are completely relaxed at this moment.

"How are you doing these days? Didn't you meet the Liao people when you left the palace?" Mi Qing took Su Mi into the bedroom that had been arranged before, and the two couldn't help talking about the situation after the farewell.

It's only been more than ten days since we parted, but everything has changed drastically.

"Your Majesty, you don't know. Thanks to your Majesty, you urged the servant to leave quickly, so that the servant can run out." Mi Qing wiped away her tears, and said with a smile: "I ran halfway, and I don't know who shouted, The Liao people broke the city! Later, more and more people shouted. At that time, a few eunuchs and court ladies who were close and quick-responsive also started to run to the palace gate. Just arrived at the palace gate, the guards at the palace gate still They didn't let us go, and they planned to ask the servants to give us the palace badges, but the servants didn't know how to tell. But more and more palace people ran this way, causing confusion for a long time, and the guards were still sending us to the palace. In the rush, I heard a loud noise in the distance, and then I saw a group of black cavalry rushing towards this side, looking fierce. The guards at the palace gate were dumbfounded at that time. How can everyone care about the rules? Cards, they all rushed out, and the servants also mixed in the crowd, and ran out together. Fortunately, those Liao people rushed to the palace. Nobody stopped the chase..."
When mentioning the situation that day, Mi Qing still had lingering fears, she was one of the first people who left the palace, and they were the only ones who ran out in the entire harem of Daqi.

Su Mi's expression darkened, it was just a coincidence that on that day, the queen ordered all four doors of the palace to be locked for safety's sake.Otherwise, there might be more palace people who escaped.

"...I came here after I left the palace. The journey was pretty safe, but it took a lot of time to find out the place, and the slaves didn't know the way, so I didn't arrive until midnight." Mi Qing rejoiced. talking.Since they left Weiguo and entered the capital, they have been staying in the palace. For the various architectural scenery outside the palace, they only know a thing or two from the casual conversations of the women who grew up in the capital.It's all on paper, as soon as you leave the palace gate, you can't even distinguish between east, west, south, north, and it's lucky that Mi Qing can find this place within a day.

Su Mi nodded, although what Mi Qing said was simple, but on the day when the city was destroyed by war and chaos, a lonely girl ran around for a day and a night, the hardships and fears on the road can be imagined, I am afraid that it is worse than herself who stayed in the palace. very.

Fortunately, all this is over. Although the Liao people are still running amok in the city, although they are still within the enemy's sphere of influence, they are temporarily safe after all.Compared with those concubines and maids trapped in the palace today, their lives are undoubtedly like heaven.

"How are you doing these days?" Su Mi asked with a smile.

"Slaves are fine. After we get here, Master Xu and the others will take good care of them." Mentioning Xu Jia, Mi Qing's face flushed bright red, she was extremely shy, coughed softly, and then continued with a little embarrassment, "It's just your mother." Suffering in the palace."

Su Mi saw it in her eyes, and then recalled the situation when she asked Xu Jia on the road if Mi Qing arrived safely, and felt warm in her heart. It seems that Mi Qing and Xu Jia are interested in each other.In such a time of raging war and unbearable cold, this kind of feeling is not easy to come by, and infinite hope emerges in people's hearts.

It has been hard for Mi Qing to follow her all the time, and she can rest assured that she will have a good home in the future.

The two were talking about the situation when Qi Hao brought the child over, and the child who was placed on the bed by Mi Qingan seemed to have woken up, struggled with his limbs, and began to cry.

Su Mi hurriedly got up and walked to the bedside, picked him up and gently shook him to comfort him, but there was no effect for a long time.The child seemed to be suffering from something, and kept crying.

"What's the matter?" Su Mi turned to Mi Qing and asked.

"Your servant doesn't know." Miqing said anxiously beside her: "Since the little prince was brought by the prince, the servant has been taking care of him. Every day at this time, he will cry like this. It's just that he will spend half a day. It's time to heal, and I don't know why. Master Xu even went out at night to find a doctor to come over for diagnosis and treatment, but he couldn't find anything. He only said that the baby was weak and suffered from some wind and cold, and now he prescribed medicinal materials for nourishing the body Take it easy."

An ominous premonition rose in Su Mi's heart, she put the child on the bed, and lifted the quilt covering her body.

Nothing could be seen on the baby's body surface, Su Mi hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand and pressed several places on the baby's abdomen, the baby's crying sound rose suddenly, crying like a scream.

Su Mi was startled, and she concentrated on examining it carefully again, and finally couldn't help but change color.

Who did it? !
I remember the last time I saw it at Qiyan's place, although the child was a little weak due to premature birth, but he was still in good health, absolutely impossible to be like this now.Judging from the child's current body, it should be that someone used internal techniques to cut off the two veins of yin and yang.These two channels have the functions of nourishing eyes, opening and closing eyelids, and body behavior in the human body.A baby who is several months old will definitely not live for a year or so if he suffers such severe trauma.

who is it? !What a vicious method.

Liao people?They wanted to kill this child quickly, but they didn't need or have the patience to use such a troublesome method. They just cut everything down with one knife, clean and neat.

Concubine Ni?If she was going to kill the child, why would she take such a risk to save him?
Could it be Qi Hao? !

Su Mi's heart felt cold for a while, Da Qi's royal family members were almost wiped out by the Liao people, among the immediate royal family, almost Qi Hao had the highest status.If there is no more this child...

Su Mi's face became more and more ugly.

"No, it's not necessarily him." Su Mi gritted her teeth and shook her head. He knew his medical skills, so he probably wouldn't do such unsure things.But who else but him?Such a severe pulse-severing technique on a baby did not kill him instantly, and there was no trace of clues on the outside, it must be a top-notch master who can do it...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Seeing Su Mi's complexion, Mi Qing called out worriedly, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

She knew her master's medical skills, and seeing Su Mi's solemn expression, she was afraid that the little prince was really suffering from some serious illness.

Being awakened by Mi Qing's words, Su Mi regained her composure. She checked the child's injuries just now. If she left it alone, the child might die suddenly within a year or so.Even if she performs acupuncture treatment now, there is only [-]% to [-]% certainty, and even if she is rescued, I am afraid that she will not be able to live past adulthood in the future... Thinking of this, Su Mi only felt heartbroken for a while, and she forced herself to calm down , and said to Mi Qing: "Go outside and watch, if anyone comes to me, just say that I am taking a bath and changing clothes, and avoid it for now."

Mi Qing went out to let the wind go according to her words.

Su Mi took out the jade box from her bosom and opened it. These small and important items are the foundation of her life, and she packed them up and took them with her when she left the palace.

There was silence all around, Su Mi circled in her mind for a while, and finally decided on the acupuncture method. She laid the child flat on the bed, concentrated, twisted a silver needle, and pierced several key points on him...
