Chapter 14 Sima Yi's Serious Illness Destroyed His Voice

The next day, Empress Dowager Chongde issued another decree: "A country cannot be without a king for a day. Sima Yu, the king of Langya, is an upright man with outstanding character, both talents and knowledge, and has the world in mind..."

So Sima Yu changed his clothes, wore a flat head scarf, and wore single clothes. He faced the east and wept. He kowtowed and accepted the emperor's seal and ribbon.

Xie An and Wang Tanzhi felt relieved for the time being, but Xie An thought again, Sima Yu was already in his fifties at this time, and his health was getting worse and worse when he came in, there was a bad omen, I am afraid that this person will be the emperor when he comes to heaven When his surname is left aside, there is no need to worry about it again, but the new emperor's succession to the court continues, and guesses and worries are also left behind.

Sima Yi fell ill as soon as he left Jiankang City. The illness was acute and severe, and he fell unconscious for several hours. They were afraid that he would die of illness, so they stopped on their way. Ryan settled down.Sima Yi was in a coma for three days and three nights. He had a high fever and often babbled. It was nothing more than the name of those two characters. The envoys close to him had already gotten used to it. They put on a cooling hood for him in time, wiped his body, and gave him water. Feed medicine.

There is a miracle doctor in the town. After the diagnosis and treatment, he said that he must wake up in three days, and then he can change his dressing after waking up. Unexpectedly, the miracle doctor is a miracle doctor. At You hour on the third day, Sima Yi really slowly opened his eyes. When he mentioned his name, he couldn't say a word, which made the envoy anxious, so he hurriedly called in a doctor. After checking the pulse and tongue, the doctor couldn't help for a while. It should be caused by a high fever. I spoke.

Even though Sima Yi is no longer the current emperor, the throne of the king of the East China Sea is still there. The Empress Dowager Chongde has repeatedly asked that if there is any accident, he will come to see him. He has only been out for three days, and he can't speak anymore. Anxious and frightened, I didn't know what to do, so I had to act both hard and soft, forcing the genius doctor to give another diagnosis and treatment.The genius doctor is also raised by his parents, how come he has seen such a vicious family member of a patient, who treated Sima Yi with needles and medicines for three days, finally, Sima Yi gradually became able to make a sound, but the voice was hoarse, only the thin voice Listen to know what is being said.

After another five days, his voice still hasn't improved, and Sima Yi doesn't care at all, whether he can speak or not is no longer important to him, because today, nothing is important to him.

No, there is one very important thing, he hasn't done it yet, he has been sick for too long, he actually forgot, Xianglong once left something, this is Xianglong's last thought left to him, Sima Yi opened his collar, He untied a thin rope from his neck, and tied it with a key, which was exactly the one Xianglong put in the box of Jinfeng General Huben's edict.

How Sima Yi got out of the cell that day, he doesn't remember at all, and how he got back to the bedroom, he has no idea at all, all he knows is that he found the key when he still had the last bit of consciousness, Using a piece of thread from the quilt, he tied it firmly and put it around his neck.

He was going to Wenji Bookstore, and he was going now, immediately.So Sima Yi tried his best to squeeze out a hoarse cry, calling out to the messenger, but the sound he made at this time was like a centenarian dying.The envoy heard the voice from inside the house, thinking that Sima Yi wanted to commit suicide, so he rushed in. After hearing Sima Yi's request clearly, he was a little embarrassed. Step, sneaking back in less than half a month, and being known by the higher-ups, it is not as simple as thinking about it, but Sima Yi insists on going, so what should I do?

After the emissaries went through the storm, their wisdom increased a lot. One of the envoys surnamed Li had the fastest mind and suggested that since it was necessary to go, it was better to go in disguise. With one eye covered, he pretended to be half-blind, and then asked him to change into ordinary people's clothes, rent a carriage from the town's dealership, be driven by the dealer, followed by Xiao Lizi, set off at dusk, and sneak in before the city gate closed. out of town.

It was already night when the car arrived at Wenji Publishing House. On the dark street, few stores were still lit, but there was only one light in the inner hall of Wenji Publishing House, which seemed to be closed.Sima Yi got out of the car, pushed open the store door, and looked carefully into the store. This is the Wenji Publishing House that Xianglong said, and it is the place he misses the most besides himself. What is hidden here that makes Xianglong so haunted by dreams? , When he died, he had to be ordered to come here, and who made Xianglong trust him so much that he entrusted all the things left behind to this person for safekeeping.

"Who is it?" Suddenly there was a voice from inside the bookstore. Following this question, a person came out. He was about forty years old, without a beard, tall and tall, with a long gown hanging down to the floor. He was thin, neat and clean. There was a smile on his face, his face was like a peach blossom, his appearance was better than Pan An's, Sima Yi was a little dazed looking at it.

"I am entrusted by someone to fetch something." Sima Yi regained his composure and found that his cheeks were a little hot.Although his voice was hoarse, he could still speak clearly, and he could still be heard clearly in this quiet bookstore.

"Who entrusted it?" The shopkeeper packed up the books in front of him without carefully looking at this distinguished guest.

Sima Yi kept silent, just stretched out his hand, and handed over Xianglong's key.Seeing the key, the shopkeeper couldn't help being taken aback, stopped what he was doing, and then seriously looked at the visitor from top to bottom. This person was dressed in a strange way, which didn't match his temperament at all. He was not tall but He's not short, he's pitifully thin, and his face looks like he's just recovering from a serious illness, but he must have had poor sleep and food on weekdays, his frail arms are white and tender, and his withered hands don't show any signs of rough work. It didn't even look like he had taken a weapon. A black cloth was covering his handsome face, as if to cover the old wounds on his face, but from the exposed eyebrows, it could be seen that this person was once a handsome and glamorous man. The Peerless Beauty.

"Young Master is his lover?" The shopkeeper said a shocking word, and Sima Yi's heart suddenly became angry, and the expression on his face immediately became a bit ferocious.

The owner of the store didn't know that he offended the person who came here, so he quickly explained: "My lord, don't misunderstand, it's just my guess, because Mr. Chu once said that the person who came to pick up this object is the only one in this world... "Seeing that the person's eyes changed from anger to sadness, and there was still a search in the sadness, the shopkeeper felt inexplicably that this person didn't know anything, and he shouldn't tell the truth about this matter.

"The only thing?" Sima Yi looked at the owner with urgent eyes.

"Dear one, the only close relative." The shopkeeper stopped looking at these eyes and turned to enter the inner hall, "My lord, wait a moment."

Sima Yi knew that the shop owner was going to pick up the item left by Xianglong. Judging from the key, this item should be a locked box.Sure enough, the shopkeeper brought out a box, but to Sima Yi's surprise, it was not a small box, almost two feet square, and the shopkeeper seemed to be struggling to carry it.

Sima Yi motioned for someone to take the box and move it to the car. He didn't intend to stay and wanted to turn around and leave, but the shopkeeper stopped him: "Master, I'm afraid I don't know what kind of books this shop sells."

Sima Yi didn't make a sound, but shook his head slightly. He wanted to know what Xianglong left him, and he didn't have much interest in guessing the business scope of Wenji Publishing House. However, since Xianglong often comes here, he should ask clearly. Looking at the shopkeeper with probing eyes, waiting for his explanation.

Seeing this, the shop owner had lost his mind, touched his forehead unconsciously, and changed the subject with some embarrassment: "I'm afraid Xianglong has put all the words he wanted to tell you in his life in that box. When he came for the last time last month, he also said that if someone comes to pick up the box, he is no longer alive, is that true?"

Sima Yi nodded sadly, there seemed to be tears in his one eye, the owner of the shop was silent for a while when he saw this, and then said: "The deceased is dead, please express my condolences, Mr. Chu is also a friend of the old man, and the old man is sad. I won’t be with you anymore, please be careful on the road.”

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Sima Yi only felt sad in his heart, he really didn't intend to stay here, so he saluted deeply, turned around and wanted to leave.

"My lord, if you have any doubts, I will be waiting for you at any time." The shopkeeper added another sentence leisurely, and didn't say any more.

Sima Yi didn't turn around, and didn't say much, he turned his face sideways to listen to the last sentence of the shopkeeper, then went out, got into the carriage, and drove to the next place that had been set.The creaking sound of the wheels didn't disturb Sima Yi's thoughts, he stroked the box left by Xianglong again and again, what was in it?The shopkeeper said there was something Xianglong wanted to say to me, what could it be?Unexpectedly, I didn't know that Xianglong had so many thoughts, was it full of a whole box?Why didn't Xianglong tell me his thoughts directly?When did it start again, that he and the shopkeeper had become close friends who talked about everything?Why does the shopkeeper know more about him than me?Why didn't Xianglong know that he was going to die at this time and didn't tell me?

Sima Yi's question could no longer calm him down, his tears fell down unconvincingly, in this dark carriage, in front of this strange messenger, just like this unconvincingly shed tears again.A man does not cry lightly. In this life, except for crying secretly under the quilt when he was a child because of the estrangement of his mother and brother, he has never been so humiliated in front of a person, but now, without Xianglong, he can't even control his tears Why is he so fragile and vulnerable all of a sudden, Sima Yi has countless questions in his heart, and they all stay on this carriage.

The next place is not far away, Xianglong's box should not be opened in front of outsiders, it can only be opened after he settles down in Kuaiji.Suppressing his own thoughts, Sima Yi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes to make himself stronger, otherwise Xianglong under the Nine Springs would not be at ease seeing him like this.
