Gu Wanning Huo Ran was moved, and got up suddenly: "Is Master Huiping's words true?"

Master Huiping nodded affirmatively: "It's true. ”

"Because it's so rare, I was very impressed. That patient was a native of a foreign country, and because he admired the prosperity and wealth of Great Qin, he traveled far and wide to the capital of Great Qin. Unexpectedly, he suffered from a strange illness and couldn't sleep all day. ”

"The poor monk was also a small name back then, and the servant of this sick man begged the poor monk. ”

The poor monk took in the sick man and let him live in a good hall opened by the poor monk to diagnose and heal him. ”

Gu Wanning's eyes suddenly lit up, implying hope: "What happened later?

Xu Cang and Dr. Qian couldn't help but get excited.

As a doctor, there is no greater wish than to heal the sick and save people.

Both of them are obsessed with medicine, and they are both anxious and anxious when they encounter an illness that they cannot handle. Now that I have heard that Master Huiping has treated patients with the same disease, it is strange not to be excited.

Empress Dowager Min was the most excited, and grabbed Master Huiping's sleeve regardless of her manners: "Can you cure the emperor's illness?"

Master Huiping was quite calm, and responded gently: "Please be patient with the Queen Mother and listen to the poor monk." ”

Empress Dowager Min was shocked to realize that she had lost her temper and let go of her hand a little sneeringly.

Master Huiping continued: "The poor monk has been treating the sick for months. Strictly speaking, the poor monk did not cure the disease. However, the poor monk took care of him for a long time, and his illness improved. A year later, he insisted on returning to Fanbang. It is said that the bell must be tied to the bell. ”

The poor monk was curious, and couldn't help but ask a few questions. Only then did he tell the poor monk that after he was a noble in the Tubo Kingdom, he and his brother failed to compete for the family business, and his brother was narrow-minded, and in a fit of anger, he spent a lot of gold and silver to buy the Tubo national teacher to play witchcraft on him. ”

Sorcery?

Empress Dowager Min's face changed suddenly.

Gu Wanning's complexion also changed slightly.

Xiao Xu fell for witchcraft, and she has been hiding it from Empress Dowager Min. Xu Cang and Dr. Qian were also extremely tight-lipped, and Empress Dowager Min didn't know all this. Unexpectedly, Master Huiping told this secret unexpectedly.

Empress Dowager Min was shocked and panicked, and subconsciously looked at Gu Wanning: "Guanning, what Master Huiping said is true?

Gu Wanning's expression was calm as usual, and he gently comforted the panicked Empress Dowager Min: "Of course not." Witchcraft is Tibetan magic. The emperor stayed in the palace all day and never went to Tibet. How can you fall into witchcraft. It must be Master Huiping who has misremembered the illness. ”

Master Huiping: "......"

To be able to achieve the position of abbot of Puji Temple, Master Huiping is by no means a stupid person.

On the contrary, Master Huiping was quick to react and very alert. frowned again and hesitated: "It's been a long time, and the poor monk may have misremembered." ”

Empress Dowager Min: "......"

Empress Dowager Min looked at Gu Wanning, who looked calm, and then at Master Huiping, who looked apologetic, and her mind was in chaos.

……

Gu Wanning was relieved for a long time before coaxing Empress Dowager Min back to Cining Palace.

Master Huiping was naturally left in the Funing Palace.

Master Huiping has treated the same disease, although he has not been cured, but he has experience. The prescriptions prescribed by Xu Cang and Dr. Qian were adjusted to several flavors.

In just a few days, Xiao Xu's symptoms have improved, and the symptoms of drowsiness have improved significantly. The daily waking time is much longer, waking up three or four times a day, adding up to about three hours.

After Xiao Xu got better, he specially summoned the important ministers to meet him. When the courtiers saw that the Son of Heaven had improved, they were all excited.

Empress Dowager Min, who was originally suspicious, was even more overjoyed and threw all the doubts in her heart behind.

Gu Wanning's heart, which hung day and night, was also quietly soothed.

It's always good news that things are improving.

Even better news was that the border army had won another big battle and recaptured another border city. 10,000 enemies were killed and nearly 2,000 enemy troops were captured. A great victory greatly encouraged the ministers and the people.

Gu Jinxing personally wrote a battle report and asked for credit for the generals under his command.

Among them, there is no Ji Tong's name.

……

"Qi Yu Niangniang, this is a letter sent by the prince from the border pass. ”

Linglong, who had given birth to a son, immediately came to Gu Wanning's side after the confinement. After giving birth to a child, Linglong was a little plump, adding a bit of mature charm.

Linlang gave birth to a daughter a few days late, and like Linglong, the child returned to Gu Guanning to serve after the full moon.

As soon as the two of them came back, Gu Wanning suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Gu Wanning took the letter from Linglong's hand, quickly opened it and read it, and after reading it, the smile in his eyes quietly disappeared.

Linglong and Linlang quickly glanced at each other.

The two of them were Gu Guanning's most trusted people, and within a few days of coming back, they knew Xiao Xu's true illness. Naturally, he also knew Xiao Xu's secret purpose.

Gu Jinxing, as the main general, had no time to separate, so he handed over the matter of tracking down the whereabouts of Xiao Rui and the Tubo National Teacher to Ji Tong.

Ji Tong led hundreds of Gu family secret guards, each dressed up in disguise, and infiltrated the border city captured by the enemy army to find out the news.

Gu Guanning's reaction at this time is only two possibilities. Either there's no news or it's bad news......

"Niangniang, is there any news from the prince?" asked Linlang softly.

Gu Wanning was silent for a moment before saying, "There's news." ”

It's just that it's not good news.

The border army had just won a great victory and reclaimed a border city. There are only three border cities occupied by the Tibetans and Turks. In this case, it is only a matter of time before all the border cities are recovered and the enemy forces are driven out of the pass.

The Gu family's secret guards who infiltrated the border city occupied by the enemy army did track Xiao Rui's whereabouts. It's a pity that the assassination of Xiao Rui failed to succeed, but nearly half of the manpower was lost.

Most of them are the descendants of the Gu family's generals and guards, or the orphans of the border soldiers. The Gu family spent countless gold and silver efforts, and it took several years of work to cultivate two thousand secret guards.

This time, due to the urgency of the border war, the Gu family did their best and did not dare to have any reservations. The generals went to the battlefield together, and all the secret guards were also summoned to the border pass.

What Ji Tong took away was the elite of the Gu family's secret guards. There were more than 800 secret guards in total, and now there are only more than 400 left.

Hundreds of lives are gone......

Gu Wanning's hand holding the letter trembled slightly, and the corners of his mouth tightened.

Linlang saw it in his eyes, his heart was like a knife, and he comforted softly: "How can there be immortals in war." Why should the mother blame herself like this!"

Linglong also opened his mouth and said, "Yes, that border city has been occupied by the Tibetans. Xiao Rui's side is extremely heavily guarded, and it is extremely difficult to assassinate, let alone bring him back to the capital alive. Although many manpower was damaged this time, the manpower around Xiao Rui was even more damaged. ”
