Volume 1–First time seeing the gold beam of a dream
Chapter 7: Overturning Lan Yan Country (3)
Bai Luo didn’t go far. He hurriedly picked a handful of medicine and returned to Jimo Lin. Bai Luo wrapped the herbs in a cloth, smashed the herbs with stones, applied it to the cloth that will put on top of the wound, and ripped a long strip of cloth to wrap it up. The blood has gradually stopped, but Jimo Lin’s face is getting more and more white, and his body temperature has dropped somewhat.
Bai Luo held onto Jimo Lin, “Hold on for a while, someone will come soon.”
“You talk to me, I don’t want to sleep.”
“Well, you said.”
“I thought I could see you cried. I never imagined what it was like when you were crying. I have never seen you change your face. Sometimes I wondered, what kind of things will make you change.”
“You will see it later.” He does not have facial paralysis, how can his face not change.
“I will invite you to play soccer in the future, you can’t not go.”
“Ok.”
Jimo Lin vaguely felt that Bai Luo was very good at talking now. Bai Luo could agree to any requests that were not too much.
“You will ignore Jimo Ge in the future. He has always seen me as unpleasant. You have a good relationship with me, and he will inevitably target you. He is this kind of person, sinister, cunning, and very narrow-minded. He is shameless like that, if you are in contact with him, you will definitely suffer.
Gradually, there were shouts. Bai Luo hurriedly called out to them. Seeing the rescuers coming, Bai Luo breathed a sigh of relief. He let the guard carry Jimo Lin on his back, and the group hurried back.
When they returned to the encampment, the group was surrounded by a group of people all at once began talking and inquiring. Bai Luo had a headache because of the noise.
Jimo Ge pushed aside the surrounding crowd and saw Bai Luo’s appearance, his eyes narrowed, and he said sharply: “All of you shut up.” Not daring to touch Bai Luo, “Where are you hurt?”
“I’m fine. Jimo Lin injured his arm, he was bitten by a wolf.”
Jimo Ge ordered a guard, “You go down the mountain quickly and look for a doctor.”
“You all take turns to bring the Ninth Prince down the mountain. Be careful of his wounds. The others, handle the belongings and quickly descend. You are not allowed to stay on the mountain.”
Apart from Jimo Lin, Jimo Ge have the highest status. Shocked by the strength and determination of Jimo Ge, even Jimo Lin’s people subconsciously follow Jimo Ge’s arrangements.
Bai Luo’s clothes are covered with mud and grass. He tore a lot of them to bandage Jimo Lin. It looked tattered and stained with a lot of blood, including the wolf and Jimo Lin’s blood.
Jimo Ge took off his outer robe and draped it on Bai Luo. Bai Luo saw that Jimo Ge only have the white inner robe left, which is inappropriate in public. He took off the outer robe and handed it back to Jimo Ge, “I don’t need it.”
Bai Luo was worried about Jimo Lin and stayed by his side. Bai Luo felt that his mental age was a bit older. If something went wrong, he should take more care of these half-old children.
When Jimo Lin arrived, the imperial doctor was ready. The wound was cleaned and bandaged again, and the medicine was cooked up. The detoxification medicinal materials were mainly used, and some blood tonics were also added.
Bai Luo took a bath and changed his clothes. Then he was escorted into the palace by a group of Imperial guards and an eunuch with a sharp voice. Bai Luo only heard that for being inadequate in protecting the prince, he is specially given 20 big planks(1).
Sure enough, being with the prince is tedious.
On the side, there is a cross-shaped wooden stool, which should be used for torture. Two big men with broad arms and round waist are holding a thick wooden stick standing by the side.
Not to mention whether it hurts or not, it’s a great humiliation to just lie down and be spanked in full view.
Seeing Bai Luo standing still, the eunuch who announced the decree winked. Right away there are Imperial guards who wanted to force Bai Luo to lie down.
“Stop, do you dare? Who gave you the courage?” Jimo Lin was supported by a young manservant, everything he said was a little weak, “I want to see who dares to do it?”
“Ninth dianxia(2), this is the rule. Nu(3) can’t be the master. Hope that Ninth dianxia will let this be, so nu can go back and report.”
“Presumptuous. I insisted that Bai Luo accompany me to go hunting in the mountain, and almost hurt the Prime Minister’s dizi(4). I have been greatly trusted by the Prime Minister. Ben dianxia(5) wants to plead for the Prime Minister daren(6)’s forgiveness, even if it is to suffer the board beating, ben dianxia will still do it.”
“This, this,” The eunuch arched his body. Seeing that Jimo Lin’s expression had no intentions to change, it’s a bit awkward.
“Ben dianxia will ask fuhuang, you just need to report the truth.”
“Nu retires.” The eunuch and the bodyguards withdraw.
Jimo Lin used all of his willpower to support his body and he would almost faint. He was supported by Bai Luo’s quick hands.
“Bai Luo, I will beg fuhuang. I won’t let you get hurt. You must not hate me. In the future, you can’t not play with me, you promised me.”
Bai Luo responded in a low voice, “You should go back and rest.”
“Yes ah, dianxia. You still haven’t drink your medicine ne? Gongzi, dianxia heard that you have met with a mishap. He didn’t even have time to drink the medicine, and ran out right away to stop it.”
Jimo Lin insisted on going to the Imperial Study Room, but the emperor did not see him. Jimo Lin knelt at the door of the Imperial Study Room, “Er chen(7) have been greatly trusted by the Prime Minister, but almost harmed Bai Luo’s life, violated the promise to the Prime Minister. Er chen is aware of his own blunder, fuhuang please punish.”
Bai Luo was a little entangled. He didn’t like kneeling, but Jimo Lin was injured. So Bai Luo knelt down to plead with Jimo Lin, persuading him to leave but he does not listen. Bai Luo didn’t want to be beaten, with his heart tangled, he also knelt down beside Jimo Lin.
Jimo Lin had a lot of sweat on his face, and his body was shaking. The door of the Imperial Study Room finally opened.
The emperor looked at Bai Luo for a while, “The son of the Bai family is really good-looking. And this one and that one are pleading for you.”
Bai Luo knew that his father must have come to the emperor.
“Fuhuang, er chen’s injury has nothing to do with Bai Luo. If Bai Luo hadn’t injured the vital part of the wolf, both er chen and Bai Luo would be buried in the wolf’s belly. Er chen thought that as the son of fuhuang, protecting the people is the responsibility of er chen.”
“Zhen(8) is not an unreasonable person. Zhen has also looked at the wolf’s carcass, the wound was decisive and severe. According to the position, it was very close to the wolf’s head. Under this danger, Bai Luo can inflict heavy damage on the wolf. He is a calm and decisive person. If you make amends, there will be no punishment.”
Jimo Lin’s face was happy, and he heard the emperor continue to speak: “The rules cannot be broken. The prince’s injured is a fact, so zhen will punish you to take care of Xiao Jiu(9) before he is well.”
“Thank you fuhuang for your kindness. Bai Luo, quickly thanks fuhuang.”
Bai Luo learned the manner of Jimo Lin and said, “Thank you Emperor for your kindness.”
After the two left, the Emperor returned to the Imperial Study Room, “Not getting up yet? Zhen didn’t really let the kid get hit.”
“Thank you huang xiong(10).” Jimo Ge stood up, his legs shook, and stood up straight.
“Zhen see that the child was so frightened by the plank. His face was foolish and stiff.”
“Huang xiong, chen di(11) still have things to do and won’t bother huang xiong. Chen di retires.”
“This kid,” The Emperor scolded with a smile, “Come over to zhen when he needs a favor, and doesn’t want to stay in the palace for a moment.”
“Emperor, were you really going to let Bai gongzi get hit with the plank?” The Chief Eunuch next to the emperor saw that he was very interested, so he said a sentence.
“Zhen wants to hit him intentionally, still wait until Xiao Jiu arrives? That child’s posture is not sturdy, once again escaped from death. Receiving fright again, if he really got hit and there’s a mishap, Prime Minister Bai may beg for his remains.” Don’t talk about other people begging. Even zhen, seeing such a person, is not willing to punish ah. It is not a big mistake.
Bai Luo immediately returned to Linlong Palace and let Jimo Lin lie down on the bed. The maid brought the medicine over again.
Jimo Lin glanced at Bai Luo who was sitting aside, and yelled, “My hand hurts, I can’t drink the medicine by myself.”
As soon as the maid waiting on the side was about to take the medicine, she was shocked by Jimo Lin’s eye knife and didn’t dare to move.
Looking at him eagerly, Jimo Lin, who used to be full of vitality, was now lying on the bed with a pale face. It was because of him that he was injured. Bai Luo felt soft and walked over, picked up the medicine bowl, and sat on the chair next to the bed to feed Jimo Lin.
Jimo Lin was a little dissatisfied, “Bai Luo, you sit on the bed. The chair is too far away from me, I can’t reach it.”
With these trivial things, Bai Luo didn’t want to argue with the injured person. Bai Luo complied with his words and sat on the side of Jimo Lin’s bed, holding the spoon to feed the medicine.
Bai Luo thought, wouldn’t it be more bitter to eat spoonful by spoonful like this? It’s better to suffer less torture by drinking it all in one sip. Sure enough, he still doesn’t quite understand the world of young people.
“Ninth dianxia, Ge dianxia has comes to visit you.”
Jimo Lin frowned. Too many people came to visit him, both familiar and unfamiliar people. Too annoying.
Bai Luo found that Jimo Ge originally had a very happy face, but became gloomy when he saw him.
“Sure enough, it is a scourge left for thousands of years. Still alive and kicking even if bitten by a wolf.”
“Hmph, I knew that you didn’t come to visit me with good intentions. You specifically came to see my bad luck. You must be very proud now.”
Jimo Ge looked up and down Jimo Lin, “Why didn’t that wolf take a bite on your face? What a pity. If you are incompetent, don’t go to dangerous places. If it was me, I won’t let the people around me fall in danger.”
Bai Luo held Jimo Lin, who was about to get up, and Jimo Lin leaned on Bai Luo’s body, “Bai Luo, I’m so dizzy. Is there still wolf poison that hasn’t been cleaned?”
Bai Luo rubbed Jimo Lin’s temples, “You got up too quickly. You have lost too much blood, so you can’t get up too abruptly.”
Jimo Lin looked at Jimo Ge behind Bai Luo’s back, showing a provocative and proud expression.
Jimo Ge clenched his fists, and resisted the urge to pull Jimo Lin off Bai Luo.
Jimo Ge left a sentence, “Don’t know how to be ashamed.” And he walked away.
Jimo Ge came with turmoil, and is also rash when he left, putting on with an unkind expression. He came here to condemns Jimo Lin with a few words. He is also a very strange person.
“Bai Luo, you have also heard from fuhuang. You have to take care of me before I get better. Why don’t you live in Linlong Palace, and return to the Prime Minister’s mansion after I get better?”
Jimo Lin’s eyes were like ink stones immersed in water, glimmering and wet, like a coquettish puppy. Bai Luo was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.
