Chapter 85 Sihexiang 25
Huo Weilou is also someone who has gone through a lot of battles. When he was in charge of the army in the north, he had seen wounds like flesh and bones, not to mention the methods used by the Xiuyi Zhishi Si over the years. , but now, the hand he was using to clean Bao Ruoyou's face was trembling slightly. Bao Ruoyou just leaned on the edge of the tub silently, her delicate little face was pale and bloodless, as if a little force would To leave a mark.
Huo Weilou had never done such a delicate job before, but he did not dare to be careless at this moment. His rough fingertips touched the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. In her coma, her beautiful eyebrows were still frowning, as if she was suffering from the pain even in her sleep. It hurts.
He couldn't help but look at the injuries on Bao Ruoyou's neck. If he had injured her very seriously last time, then Han Sheng almost killed her this time. Her neck was as white as porcelain. There was a circle of bruises and swelling from the stranglehold, and tiny blood spots were clearly visible. He had heard from her autopsy report that the same stranglehold marks were found on the female corpses that had lost their voice.
Huo Weilou felt his heart suffocate, almost, only a little.
He didn't dare to see any more water on the injured area, so he just wiped her face. Then he remembered that there was blood on her back. He saw it when he just picked her up. Her robe was torn off, and it was on her shoulders. He glanced at the **** red spot at that time, only rushing to hug her, without seeing it clearly. At this moment, he was afraid that she would get wet, so he couldn't help but help her move his shoulders outward.
She was the only one in the room. Huo Weilou carefully pulled down her raised collar. He just wanted to see how badly she was injured, but apart from tiny blood spots, what was exposed under the collar was actually There is also a blood-red cinnabar mole.
Huo Weilou stiffened while holding Bao Ruoyou's arm. He first understood in his mind why Han Sheng took the risk of taking her away from the Cheng Mansion, and then he felt that his eyes were locked and he couldn't move away.
After examining three corpses, we also knew the murderer’s likes and dislikes, but Bo Ruoyou never showed any fear, and if it hadn’t been for this danger, he would never have known that she actually had...
Skin is better than snow, making this cinnabar mole even more red and dazzling. Huo Weilou stared at it for a few moments, but finally forced himself to look away, and she was already warmed, but she was just like this. In the bathtub is not an option either.
Huo Weilou suddenly looked at Bo Ruoyou's face. His gaze seemed to be real. He raised his hand and brushed it between her eyebrows. Suddenly, his eyes became fixed, and the hand that fell on her eyebrows slid down. He pulled open the front button of her underwear.
The lapels were open, and the thin silk was floating on the water. Huo Weilou had already made up his mind, and his hands were extremely fast. He took off her robe in two moves, leaving only a close-fitting garment on her body. , he took her out of the tub again, grabbed his clean robe on the screen and wrapped her up.
He carried her to the inner room and placed her on the bed. His robe was on her body, like a brocade quilt. He took off his pants and turned around to find another piece of his underwear. He lifted her up and put it on her in a few strokes.
After putting on the inner sheet, he pulled the brocade quilt over her. After doing all this, Huo Weilou was sweating profusely.
At this time, Eunuch Fu's footsteps sounded outside.
"Master Hou, Mr. Ming has arrived——"
Eunuch Fu trotted in, "We will be in the main courtyard soon, Youyou, she——"
Before Mr. Fu finished speaking, she realized that Huo Wei was not in the penthouse, but standing in front of the bed. There were women's clothes lying beside the bed, and Bo Ruoyou, who was supposed to be in the bathtub, was actually wearing his underwear. Lying on the bed.
Eunuch Fu was shocked and angry, "You——"
Huo Weilou brushed his soaked robe, and without saying a word, he took the clothes and turned them around the screen to change his clothes. Eunuch Fu felt a rush of blood rushing to his forehead, but looking at Huo Weilou Weilou's calm appearance made his eyes darken, but he didn't know what to curse. After a moment, Huo Weilou came out, with the same look of nothing happened on his face.
Eunuch Fu couldn't help but raise his hand and pointed at Huo Weilou with trembling fingertips, "How could you——"
Huo Wei's eyebrows didn't even move, "What's wrong with me? Human life is at stake, and I'm doing this to save her."
"You——"
Huo Weilou motioned to Bo Ruoyou's clothes, "Aren't you going to pack them away?"
Eunuch Fu clenched his fists hard, as if he was holding Huo Weilou's innocent face, and stamped his feet fiercely, and then went to pack up Bao Ruoyou and his clothes with a look of sorrow and indignation. In order, someone came outside to report that Ming Guilan was outside the inner room.
"Come in——"
Ming Guilan was pushed in by the attendants and saw Bo Ruoyou lying on the couch with her hair still wet. Huo Weilou was taking a towel to wipe her hair. This scene made Ming Guilan stunned. When he saw the injury on Bao Ruoyou's neck, he hurriedly spoke, "Why is it so injured?"
"If you are attacked, show her quickly, I'm afraid it will hurt her vitals."
Huo Weilou spoke in a solemn voice, and Ming Guilan could tell at a glance that the injury was serious, and quickly checked Bao Ruoyou's injury. After a while, Ming Guilan said: "The injury is too serious, and it's raining? ”
Huo Weilou nodded, Ming Guilan asked for his pulse again, and then immediately recited a prescription. Eunuch Fu hurriedly wrote and sent it out for people to cook the medicine. Ming Guilan said inwardly: "I haven't seen any broken bones yet. , but the meridians in the neck must have been injured. She has difficulty breathing now, and maybe she even hurt her throat. Can you hear her speaking?"
Huo Weilou shook his head, "I fainted as soon as I saw someone."
Ming Guilan's face turned gloomy, "The injury is in one place. I was exposed to the rain, cold, and fright, so I'm afraid that several complications may occur. Also, if my throat is injured, it may affect my speech." After finishing speaking, he continued. Ask, "Are there any other injuries?"
Huo Weilou's phoenix eyes moved slightly, "There are still some scratches and there is blood. Is this a problem?"
Ming Guilan saw several other bruises on the side of Bo Ruoyou's neck at a glance. He shook his head when he heard the words, "Small injuries are fine. Don't touch the place with blood. Just apply medicine. The wounds on the neck are fine." The injury is very serious, so you need to be careful. The prescription just now is for oral use. I also have two ointments here that need to be applied externally every day. In addition, there are many medicines for removing putrefactive tissue and regenerating muscle, so I will not prescribe them. It’s a recipe.”
Huo Weilou nodded, "How is your pulse?"
"The pulse fluctuates and is weak, and the pulse rate slows down and stops sometimes. It is a sign of pain, coldness, and excessive fright. If you only look at the pulse, you may not be able to wake up in a while, so you must take the decoction and apply it externally. You also need to use medicine for wounds. If there is no improvement after dawn, it will be bad." Ming Guilan sighed, "Miss Bo didn't follow the Marquis to handle the case, how could she be attacked?"
This question made Huo Weilou feel guilty. He looked at Bo Ruoyou's weak voice and didn't know where to start. Ming Guilan shook his head, "That's all, I'll prepare some external medicine first."
The attendant pushed Ming Guilan out, and soon Eunuch Fu came in, "Master Marquis, why don't we go to the princess's house and ask for two maids?"
Huo Weilou frowned slightly when he heard this. When Eunuch Fu saw that he was not happy, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and said: "Master Hou, if you don't do it for yourself, you also have to take care of your reputation."
Huo Weilou then said: "That's all, go get it."
Eunuch Fu glared at him angrily, then turned around and went out to give orders. However, the people from the Princess Mansion had not arrived yet. Cheng Yunzhi arrived first. After getting the news, they came to the Hou Mansion, but they were slow in moving. They just arrived now. In the Hou Mansion, Huo Weilou heard that Cheng Yunzhi had arrived and immediately ordered people to invite them in.
Cheng Yunzhi walked all the way to the main courtyard. When he arrived at Huo Weilou's bedroom, he saw Bo Ruoyou lying on the couch as if he was lifeless. His eyes suddenly turned red, but he couldn't speak in front of Huo Weilou, so he had to endure his heartache. Eunuch Fu's eyes were slightly red when he saw it, and he hurriedly said: "I have asked Mr. Ming to take a look. The injury on the neck is a bit serious, but it is not life-threatening. The medicine has been prescribed. Mr. Cheng, please rest assured. No matter how serious the injury is, the Hou Mansion will still ask someone to take good care of Youyou."
Cheng Yunzhi pursed his lips and said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Hou. Youyou has been a widower for several years and has never experienced anything like this. This time it is really..."
Bo Ruoyou's body was covered tightly, with only a small pale face exposed, which was heart-wrenching to look at. Huo Weilou stood aside and said, "This time I ordered her to enter the Jingzhao Mansion. Otherwise, she would not have been involved in this case, and it is my fault."
Eunuch Fu raised his eyebrows while listening, thinking that Huo Weilou didn't dare to be tough at the moment.
Cheng Yunzhi was a little frightened when he heard this, "I don't dare to blame the Marquis. It was her wish to be a widower. It was his favor that the Marquis recommended her. This was an accident. No one expected this."
Huo Weilou spoke in a low voice, "I also admire her quite a lot, otherwise I would not have made an exception to recommend her to the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen. However, I was still a little negligent. She is a woman, and she is different from others. Although I I really feel guilty for wanting to use her but neglecting to protect her. This time she is recovering from her injuries and will be taken care of by the Marquis. Only in this way can I feel at ease."
Huo Weilou spoke sincerely, with a sad expression on his face. Even though the pain was real, his words still made Eunuch Fu's lips twitch. He spoke for a long time, and it turned out that he had left something to say here.
Eunuch Fu rolled his eyes secretly and looked at Bo Ruoyou lying on the couch with a somewhat complicated and unexplainable feeling. Huo Weilou had made up his mind to act like this, but what if Bo Ruoyou didn't have such thoughts? ?
Cheng Yunzhi was also stunned when he heard this, thinking that even if he didn't take Bao Ruoyou home immediately, he would take her home when she woke up and got better, but Huo Weilou's words blocked his thoughts. Live, "Master Hou... there is no need to be so guilty. It is unusual for my daughter to be valued by the Marquis for her identity. If she stays in the Marquis' mansion to recuperate, I'm afraid——"
"What are you afraid of?" Huo Weilou looked at him, "This matter will not be known to others. Although your house is her permanent residence, she was seriously injured. She doesn't know how to nurse her back to health this time. There are many attendants here, so it will be easier to take care of her."
Huo Weilou was originally a high-ranking official, but now he was expressing a lot of concern. Even though Cheng Yunzhi had some doubts, he did not dare to offend Huo Weilou directly, so he could only say: "Then let's wait until Youyou wakes up. If she I think it would be better to stay in the Marquis Mansion to recuperate, so I will follow her wishes."
A glimmer of light flashed in Huo Weilou's eyes, "That's fine."
Cheng Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help walking closer. When he saw Bo Ruoyou's face was as white as paper, he felt even more heartbroken. At this time, the soup had been boiled outside, and Eunuch Fu ordered someone to bring the soup in.
There were no other attendants in the room. Eunuch Fu rolled his eyes and said, "I used to serve the eldest princess. I am here to serve Youyou to drink medicine. Mr. Cheng, don't worry."
While Cheng Yunzhi felt that something was wrong, he also felt that they were treating Bo Ruoyou with all their heart, so he had no choice but to twitch his lips and agree. Huo Weilou stood aside and watched. At this time, Cheng Yunzhi remembered that this way into the Marquis Mansion, I didn't even see a maid. In that case, who changed Bao Ruoyou's clothes?
Cheng Yunzhi dared not say anything. After feeding the medicine, Eunuch Fu ordered the attendants to leave. At this time, Ming Guilan came in from outside, with the prepared ointment in his hand. Seeing Cheng Yunzhi here, he hurriedly nodded and signaled, Cheng Yunzhi saw When Guilan diagnosed and treated Bo Ruoyou in the Ming Dynasty, he felt mixed feelings in his heart again.
"Use the ointment now to reduce swelling and relieve congestion."
After Ming Guilan finished speaking, he looked at the people in the room and didn't know who he should give the ointment to. Eunuch Fu hurriedly took it. At this time, there were voices outside. Eunuch Fu hurriedly went out to take a look. Sure enough, the waiter from the princess mansion The maid has arrived.
Eunuch Fu hurriedly came forward and gave a few instructions. The two maids were both old people in the princess's mansion, and they both knew everything at once. Eunuch Fu led the two of them through the door and said, "These delicate tasks should be done by hand." Let them do it."
Two maids came forward, one was supporting Bo Ruoyou, and the other was applying medicine to her. Both of them were careful people, and they took good care of Bo Ruoyou. Their movements were careful, meticulous and neat. Cheng Yunzhi felt a lot more at ease after being well-educated. Ming Guilan looked at Huo Weilou with a slightly strange look in his eyes.
Huo Weilou asked at this time: "Will you wake up after dawn?"
Ming Guilan nodded, "At least it will be dawn. It is normal not to wake up tomorrow."
Huo Weilou frowned slightly, then Cheng Yunzhi said: "Master Hou, I want to ask Youyou for her pulse."
Of course Huo Weilou had no objection. The maid withdrew, and Cheng Yun stepped forward to ask Bo Ruoyou for her pulse, and then brushed her cheek. After thinking about it, he straightened up. Although he didn't ask for the prescription, he could smell the smell. He also felt a lot more at ease knowing that he had a rough idea.
Huo Weilou saw that he had a peaceful look on his face and said, "It's already late and she won't wake up for a while. Why don't Mr. Cheng rest in the house."
It was already late at night, the rain had reduced, and the night was no longer so oppressive. However, Cheng Yunzhi was in a dilemma as to how to stay in the Hou Mansion, but he was reluctant to leave Bao Ruoyou.
Eunuch Fu couldn't help but come forward, "Mr. Cheng, don't be restrained. Youyou is one of our own, and Mr. Cheng should do the same. Seeing that Youyou is seriously injured, Mr. Cheng must not be able to sleep peacefully. Why not go to the guest room to rest for a while? So Youyou wakes up, You might as well come and see me right away."
This statement made Cheng Yunzhi feel happy. He thanked him and followed Eunuch Fu out. As soon as Cheng Yun left, Huo Weilou's shoulders relaxed. Ming Guilan saw it and chuckled.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Hou would be today."
Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows and looked over, Ming Guilan smiled lightly and said: "I haven't seen a maid in the Hou Mansion for many years, and this is the Marquis's sleeping quarters. The Marquis has never been close to women, and now the guest room of the Hou Mansion is empty. , but let Miss Bo into the bedroom... Anyone who knows Mr. Hou can see that Mr. Cheng is Miss Bo's adoptive father, and Mr. Hou is unusually kind."
He said and smiled again, "This is what it should be."
Huo Weilou frowned, but did not argue. He just said, "You should stay too, so as not to cause any trouble."
Ming Guilan's face straightened, and he naturally agreed. He saw Huo Weilou walking to the couch and looking at Bo Ruoyou. He looked at Huo Weilou thoughtfully for a few moments before ordering his attendants to take him out.
Everyone left, Bo Ruoyou took the medicine again, and Huo Weilou felt a little relieved. He sat down by the couch, looked at Bo Ruoyou for a moment, then opened the brocade quilt and took out her hand.
Bo Ruoyou's hands are very beautiful, with slender knuckles and only thin calluses on the fingertips. Because of the pain of the autopsy, they don't look so delicate, but they are still soft. The back of the hand The skin is white, smooth and thin, and the blood veins under it are all visible, which makes people feel fragile at the sight, but these hands hold the autopsy knife all year round, and no matter how difficult and dangerous the case is, they will not make her flinch.
In comparison, Huo Weilou's hands are much rougher. He has held a knife all year round, and he has never held a woman's catkin. At this moment, he wrapped her little hand, and once he held it tightly, he was unwilling to let go. , but he didn’t know whether it was because he used too much strength or something. After a moment, Bo Ruoyou’s eyebrows moved slightly, with a look of pain on his face. He was shocked when he saw it, and he leaned closer and asked, “Bo Ruoyou?”
He called out, but Bo Ruoyou didn't open her eyes. She just wrinkled her little face together and sweated on her forehead. She moved her lips impatiently, and she also trembled slightly. Huo Weilou couldn't hear it. After realizing what she said, I leaned closer and heard it.
"Pain..."
Hearing her cry out in pain, Huo Weilou felt even more distressed. He got up and went to call for help. Mr. Fu just arranged for Cheng Yunzhi and Zhou Liang to come back. Seeing that he called for help, Huo Weilou said impatiently: "Call Ming Guilan." , what kind of medicine did he use? She was also crying out in pain in her dream!"
Eunuch Fu was shocked and felt something was wrong, "Old slave, I'll go and invite you now."
He turned around and left. Huo Weilou walked into the house again. A thin layer of sweat appeared on Bo Ruoyou's forehead. He hurriedly found another kerchief to wipe her sweat. After a while, Eunuch Fu came back and said with a sad face: " Mr. Ming said that he was absolutely right in taking the medicine, but Youyou was seriously injured and the pain was unavoidable. He also said that she knew that pain was a good thing and she still had some consciousness. The medicine had taken effect and she would definitely wake up after dawn tomorrow. "Yes." He spread his hands and said, "He said that the Marquis was too nervous and it would be useless for him to come."
Huo Weilou had a look of impatience on his face. Eunuch Fu glanced at Bo Ruoyou and sighed, "This accident really caused Youyou to suffer a lot. He is also a noble person. , now..."
Huo Weilou looked at Bo Ruoyou, his phoenix eyes also darkened. At this time, a report came from outside and Ning Xiao was back.
Huo Weilou stood up with an awe-inspiring look on his face. He saw Ning Xiao when he came out of the main hall and heard Ning Xiao report: "Master Hou, this person is still alive, but now he has been put into prison after taking medicine. I just can't speak, and I can't be interrogated. However, judging from the traces found in the dyeing shop, I stepped on it early in the morning. I'm afraid I have already made plans to hide in the dyeing shop."
The place where Han Sheng took Bo Ruoyou was the place where he killed Wei Ling. The dyeing workshop was east of Changxingfang, not far from Cheng Zhai. It was raining heavily tonight, and there were many places near the Yuxi River in the east of the city. There was a remote alley, and he was hiding all the way there. If the embroidered clothes user hadn't been good at tracking, he probably wouldn't have been able to find Bo Ruoyou so quickly.
Huo Weilou stood by the window, his eyes falling on the rainy night outside, but what he recalled in his mind was the thrilling scene. Han Sheng, holding a carving knife, chased Bo Ruoyou like crazy, and his If the dagger is any slower, Bo Ruoyou will suffer again.
"Don't die, keep your breath, and interrogate him for a few more days. As well as his brother, once the crime of harboring is settled, he must be interrogated clearly." His tone was cold, and he said silently: "Since this case is taken over by the Xiuyi Envoy, let's move the person to the direct envoy's prison."
Ning Xiao understood what Huo Weilou meant.
He responded, turned around and walked out of the hall.
Huo Weilou stood by the window and pondered for a moment, his eyes dim and unreadable. Suddenly he turned around and told Eunuch Fu, "Go to the palace tomorrow and get some saprophytic muscle removal ointment from the inner treasury. You are the most important Understand these and go there yourself."
Eunuch Fu naturally agreed. When he saw Huo Weilou turning around and entering the inner room, his eyes turned red again. He felt sorry for Bao Ruoyou, and was very relieved to see Huo Weilou being so considerate.
Huo Weilou sat by the couch for half an hour. The night rain changed from pattering to as thin as cow hair, and then it was hard to hear the sound. The lights in the room were dim, and the shadow of his body fell on her. He looked at his own shadow for a while, and then looked at Bo Ruoyou for a while. Then he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly got up and went to get ointment to apply on the bruises on her body.
When he applied it to her back shoulder, Bao Ruoyou was startled and felt a little uneasy. He used his hands and feet to be more agile and laid her down again. Only then was she a little more stable. For a moment, he took out her hand and put it in the palm of her hand. Applying smear on those small scratches, Huo Weilou suddenly remembered the day when he first went to the battlefield ten years ago.
While applying the medicine, Bo Ruoyou didn't know what he was dreaming about. A cry of pain escaped from his throat, and he began to tremble uneasily. Huo Weilou felt frightened. He was about to lean in to comfort her, but kept his eyes closed tightly. But Bao Ruoyou suddenly opened his eyes.
Her beautiful eyes were full of fear and pain, as if she had experienced some unbearable torture in a dream. When she saw someone in front of her, she was even more frightened. She didn’t know where she got the strength to hold on. She stood up and hid in the corner of the bed. There was a roaring sound in her throat, but she was unable to scream out because of the injury. She quickly shrank in the corner, hugging her body tremblingly, with big tears flowing down her face. The cheeks slid down, as if what he saw was not Huo Weilou but an evil ghost who was coming to claim his life.
Huo Weilou stood there, so shocked by her condition that he did not move for a long time. She was crying so hard that she was out of breath. She buried her face in her arms, only revealing a pair of tearful eyes. She was extremely frightened. Huo Weilou suppressed his surprise and suspicion. Taking a step forward, "Bo Ruoyou?"
But Bao Ruoyou was even more frightened. He buried his face in his arms and pressed his back hard against the wall, as if trying to find a way out for himself. Huo Weilou was shocked when he saw it. Seeing that she was shaking so badly, he couldn't help but hug her into his arms.
But Bao Ruoyou was struggling. She seemed to be frightened to the extreme. She beat Huo Weilou like a madman. Huo Weilou hugged her tightly and called her name again and again for a long time, but he saw her coming without any warning. Lying limply in his arms.
She was curled up in Huo Weilou's arms, her eyes tightly closed again, as if she had fallen asleep again, but her body could not stop shaking. Huo Weilou did not dare to let go, nor did he dare to make a sound to wake him up. She just pulled up the brocade quilt to wrap her up, and hugged her like this for a long time. Only then did she realize that her body had softened. At this time, a ray of sunlight appeared on the horizon.
Huo Weilou didn't sleep all night, and he didn't know whether the abnormality in Bao Ruoyou's moment was another nightmare causing her to have nightmares. He was surprised and felt pity in his heart, so he didn't care about anything else. He just held her in his arms and didn't know. After a while, when the light from the horizon could illuminate the window lattice, Huo Weilou noticed that the person in his arms moved.
He was afraid that she would have another nightmare, so he quickly tightened his arms, but at this moment, he heard Bo Ruoyou say weakly in a hoarse voice: "I... am I dreaming..."
