Chapter 394 Princess's Skirt 40
Shen Xizhou was serious about wanting to take his life, and he pointed the dagger at his heart.
Blood suddenly gushed out, flowing from his chest to the hem of his robe and dripping onto his shoes.
"You are crazy!"
Gu Li was frightened by his crazy behavior and took a step back. Shen Xizhou lost his support and fell towards Gu Li.
He half-knelt on the ground, tugged at the hem of Gu Li's plain dress, and begged, "Your Highness, can you forgive me?"
"You're crazy!"
He doesn't know that when a person dies, everything is gone, so what's the point of forgiving or not forgiving.
But Shen Xizhou stubbornly wanted to get an answer from Gu Li.
Gu Li closed her eyes, but finally couldn't bear it and slowly loosened her clenched fists.
"I forgive you!"
Shen Xizhou spat out a mouthful of blood and laughed, "That's great!"
After saying this, the man fell to the ground without a sound.
Gu Li wiped the tears from her face, squatted down and helped Shen Xizhou wipe his tears, "Shen Xizhou, if you dare to die like this, I will take back what I just said. Got it!"
Mo Yun and Fei Xue, who had been waiting for the princess for a long time at home, went out to look for her. They were shocked to see the princess sitting on the ground with a bloody man lying next to her.
"Miss!"
Mo Yun quickly went forward to check.
Gu Li asked: "Is he dead?"
Mo Yun put his hand on Shen Xizhou's pulse and shook his head when he heard it, "He's still alive."
Gu Li stood up with Feixue's help, looked at the dagger still stuck in Shen Xizhou's chest, and said, "Take him back and find a doctor for him."
Mo Yun carefully picked up Shen Xizhou and carried him to the bed in the west wing, then went to the town to find a doctor.
Gu Li was supported by Feixue, and it was not until she returned to her own yard that she realized her hands were shaking.
My legs are incredibly weak.
Waving his hand to let Feixue go to the kitchen to boil water, Gu Li slowly walked back to her dormitory, not knowing what he was thinking.
Gu Li didn't think about anything. She just sat in front of the window, staring blankly at the sky outside as it gradually darkened.
Until, until the sound of a carriage was heard outside the yard, Mo Yun hurried into the yard with a medicine box in one hand and an old doctor in the other.
Gu Li did not show up.
Feixue carried out basins of blood and water, and Mo Yun helped carry a bucket of hot water into the west wing.
I don’t know how long it took, but the old doctor walked out tiredly with his back hunched, accompanied by Mo Yun.
"Doctor Zhu, it's getting late. Please stay at our farm tonight, so that he won't have to trouble you if something unexpected happens!"
The old doctor waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, there are important things at home, I have to go back. If he has a fever at night, please wipe his body with wet wipes. Whether he can survive depends on whether he can survive the high fever tonight-----"
Gu Li wanted to stand up, but her legs were so numb that she fell back. It took her a long time to stand up.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Gu Li lowered her eyes and looked at Shen Xizhou, who was burning like a boiled shrimp on the bed, and changed the handkerchief on his forehead.
Because the wound was on his chest, the doctor cut all his clothes open with scissors. Except for the bandaged area, which was covered and could not be seen, his upper body was covered with scars of various sizes left by various weapons.
One can imagine how much effort he has put in over the years to climb to his current position.
Every step you take is a fight for your life.
He more than saved her life.
A month later, the clatter of horse hooves was deafening as the procession moved forward on the country road, with a luxurious carriage at the end of the procession.
Finally, the team stopped in an orderly manner on the path in front of Guli Manor. Soldiers in royal armor stood on both sides of the gate without making a sound.
Commander Hu stepped forward and knocked on the gate.
Shen Xizhou opened the door a crack, looked at the people outside impatiently, and said, "You've got the wrong person!"
Commander Hu was shocked by Shen Xizhou's nonsense.
We are all old acquaintances, so we all know each other.
Fortunately, he had a trick. He said with a serious face: "His Majesty said that if we can invite the princess back, he will grant you marriage immediately!"
The courtyard door was opened with a swish, and Shen Xizhou stepped aside.
Commander Hu raised his eyebrows slightly and walked into the courtyard.
Haha, His Majesty is still better.
Gu Li agreed to go back to the capital without much persuasion. She had had enough of the life in the countryside. Whenever she felt hungry, she would miss the food in the imperial kitchen and the cooks in the princess's mansion.
If there is another escape, she will definitely plan it carefully and remember to bring her favorite cook with her.
Gu Li was going back to the capital, and Cai Yi had already been engaged in her hometown. Gu Li left her a sum of money as her dowry.
On the way back, Gu Li released Mo Yun. From then on, he was no longer a secret guard who could not appear in public, and assigned Feixue to Mo Yun.
For the first time, Mo Yun blushed in front of Gu Li, swore to be loyal to the princess until death, and became her personal bodyguard.
Seeing that Gu Li had arranged the people around her, Shen Xizhou moved closer to her.
"Before I left the capital to look for you, His Majesty promised me that I could exchange my military merits for an imperial decree. I, I want His Majesty to arrange a marriage for us!"
"I don't want to get married."
"If you don't marry me, who do you want to marry?" As Shen Xizhou spoke, his eyes and eyebrows were involuntarily filled with fierceness.
"I've married you once, and the result was tragic. I don't want to marry again! I just want to live in my princess mansion forever." Gu Li leaned against the wall of the carriage, touching the fine fur cushion, and felt that the golden nest in the princess mansion was more suitable for her.
What a straw nest and dog kennel, that's complete nonsense.
"Then I will marry you." Shen Xizhou didn't think much about it. "Now I am alone, without even a bag. Princess, are you willing to take me in?"
Gu Li was in deep thought. "Although the Princess's Mansion doesn't need you to eat, I don't keep idle people. What skills do you have that are worth keeping me here?"
Shen Xizhou got closer to Gu Li and said, "I have many abilities. The princess will know them tonight."
Gu Li put a finger on Shen Xizhou's chest, "Do you want to die?"
Being poked in the wound could not stop Shen Xizhou's stealing behavior. "It's already healed. If you don't believe me, Princess, give me a chance to check it out tonight and you'll know!" He sniffed around Gu Li's neck like a greedy dog.
Gu Li remained unmoved.
Although Li Luan did not go to pick up Gu Li in person, he sent someone to meet him at the city gate. As soon as Gu Li and his party entered the capital, they were led by guards to the palace gate.
The imperial palace is still the original imperial palace, with towering palaces, high pavilions and long corridors, all of which demonstrate the royal style.
It's just that the people inside have undergone a major change.
The Wuchang Emperor and his empress died in Minghua Hall successively and were buried together in the imperial mausoleum by the new emperor. The new emperor was crowned by Li Luan, the twelfth prince of the Wuchang Emperor.
