Chapter 249: The Way of the Other
Recently, Tuoba City seems to have returned to peace. King Tuoba did not continue to criticize Tuoba Ping because of Tuoba Sheng's death, which made Tuoba Ping breathe a sigh of relief.
However, just as he was gradually relaxing, a sudden arrival startled him.
Tuoba Ping has no habit of being served when he sleeps, and he is afraid that spies will get in, so he often likes to sleep alone. That night, Tuoba Ping slept until midnight and suddenly felt that something was wrong around him.
There seems to be the sound of someone breathing.
Tuoba Ping opened his eyes, only to find that the candles in the dormitory had all been extinguished at some point. A dark shadow stood beside his bed, silently watching him.
Tuoba Ping was so frightened that he almost screamed, but the black shadow was quick and covered his mouth.
"Don't scream! I'm Xiao Qingzhu. ”
Tuoba Ping came back to his senses, he gently tapped the back of Xiao Qingzhu's hand, and Xiao Qingzhu let go of him. Tuoba Ping was relieved, he was sweating profusely and panting: "How long have you been here?"
Xiao Qingzhu whispered, "Half an hour." ”
"I didn't notice it at all. Tuoba Ping sighed, "I'm very happy that you can come back alive." ”
Xiao Qingzhu asked, "Aren't you curious about how I survived?"
Tuoba Ping smiled: "Your ability is so great, of course it is normal to survive." ”
Xiao Qingzhu sneered in his heart, and said in his heart that if there was nothing else, he really wanted to question and ask why he would betray himself at a critical moment.
"It's really an honor for the Sixth Prince to trust me so much. This time I went out and I got a message. Xiao Qingzhu leaned close to his ear: "I'm afraid that Concubine Xiyue is not good." ”
"What did you say?" Tuoba Ping immediately sat up straight, "What's wrong with Concubine Xiyue?"
Xiao Qingzhu said softly: "Concubine Xiyue had abdominal bulging disease a few years ago, you know this. Originally, the condition had stabilized, but since last month, the abdominal drum disease has suddenly become serious again. ”
Tuoba Ping's eyebrows furrowed: "What does this have to do with me?"
"Concubine Xiyue is the sister of General Zhennan and the mother of the fifth prince, even if she is not liked by the king, she has always been very respected by the king. If you can cure her, not only the fifth prince will be grateful to you, but even the king will ......"
Tuoba Ping sneered: "What you said makes sense. But her illness is an old disease, so what can I do?"
Xiao Qingzhu said with a smile: "Don't worry, the sixth prince, I have already thought of a way for you." On the last mission, I was originally injured by Tuobasheng's backhand, but when I escaped, I was fortunately rescued by a foot doctor. By chance, he gave me a pill that could cure all diseases. As he spoke, Xiao Qingzhu took out a black box from his arms.
"Is that all?" Tuoba Ping groaned, "What is this?"
"Five-grade rejuvenation pill. ”
Tuoba Ping's eyes suddenly lit up: he had seen the Rejuvenation Pill, and his father had rewarded him with half a second-grade one before. Only these second-grade rejuvenation pills have cured his cough and asthma for many years, and the fifth-grade rejuvenation pill is not an exaggeration to say that it cures all diseases.
"You show it to me. ”
Xiao Qingzhu took out the elixir and handed it to him. Tuoba Ping put the pill under his nose and sniffed it carefully: sure enough, a high-grade pill smelled to his nose.
This is the real medicine!
"With this thing, you can not only redeem the king's wariness of the prince, but also bring the fifth prince closer. Sixth Prince, look ......"
Tuoba Ping smiled: "You shouldn't give me this thing for nothing, right?"
Xiao Qingzhu said in a low voice: "I am leaving the city now, because I have no money on me, I hope that the sixth prince can give me 10,000 taels of silver, and I will leave here from now on." ”
"No problem. Tomorrow I will put the silver ticket on the table in the study, and you can pick it up. Tuoba Ping agreed, "I also hope that you will fulfill your promise and leave Pioneer City from now on and never come back." ”
"I know. ”
With a gust of breeze blowing, Xiao Qingzhu disappeared in front of Tuoba Ping's eyes. Tuoba Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Xiao Qingzhu did not leave here. She hid in the space and waited for Tuoba Ping to enter the palace.
She has always been angry about Tuoba Ping's betrayal of her. She wanted to get revenge in her own way. Li Si said that he would help her breathe a bad breath when the time came, but Xiao Qingzhu felt that she had to be comfortable with this breath by herself.
Li Si saw that she was resolute, so she had to go.
The next day, Tuoba Ping really left with the pill, and Xiao Qingzhu walked out of the space leisurely. She didn't say a word, and went straight to Tuoba Ping's treasure house.
Like a glutton, she moved boxes and boxes of treasures into the space without any scruples, as long as there was some value, none of them could escape her eyes. After a long day of hard work, in the end, there were only a bunch of cheats and some spiritual weapons left in the treasure house.
Xiao Qingzhu wanted to burn them all with a fire, but at this time, she suddenly found that there was a painting mixed in it, which looked very ordinary, but Xiao Qingzhu inexplicably felt that there was an indescribable energy hidden in it.
She has always had the ability to discern treasures.
Without saying a word, Xiao Qingzhu took the painting in his arms and walked away.
At this time, Tuoba Ping had already explained his mind to King Tuoba. King Tuoba was naturally overjoyed to see that his son had recently done his best and had begun to unite his siblings.
Since he has the heart to correct his mistakes, he might as well give him a chance. It's been more than three years since Concubine Xiyue's illness doesn't die, so it's okay to give it a try.
So, several palace ladies led Tuoba Ping to the palace of Concubine Xiyue. Concubine Xiyue was leaning on the couch at this time, her hair was scorched, and her face was sallow, so that even the whites of her eyes turned yellow.
There were many doctors who said that she had an irregular liver meridian, and prescribed her a lot of prescriptions to relieve the liver and regulate qi, but after drinking this bowl of medicine, not only did it not get better, but her belly became bigger and bigger.
"Niangniang, the sixth prince is here!"
Concubine Xiyue opened her eyes slightly, nodded at Tuoba Ping, and said hello. Tuoba Ping hurriedly handed over the Rejuvenation Pill: "Xiyue Niangniang, the child found this pill a few days ago, and it must be effective for your illness." ”
Concubine Xiyue smiled weakly: "I have been sick for so long, I haven't taken any pills! ”
Tuoba Ping smiled: "Niangniang, this is the five-grade rejuvenation pill specially prepared for you by the child, presumably ......"
Before the words fell, Concubine Xiyue's long-ill face immediately became bright: "Rejuvenation Pill?"
"yes!"
"Hurry up, get it quickly!" Concubine Xiyue was surprised and delighted, she trembled her fan anxiously, and Gong E hurriedly presented the Rejuvenation Pill.
"I've only heard of it before, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes!" "Concubine Xiyue seemed to have seen a life-saving medicine, "The sixth prince has a heart!"
"As long as the mother is healthy, the child will be happy!" Tuoba Ping said neither humbly nor arrogantly, but Concubine Xiyue couldn't help it, she hurriedly asked Gong'e to bring her water, and took the pill in one gulp.
