>0ǣ { f4B {)Yf Z vZ n orÄ & b23 fd뮠j 22M Ji's warning, Dao Yan paid special attention to the situation in the capital, and as soon as he entered the suburbs of Beijing, he heard the people talking about the resignation of Li Shanchang and Liu Ji. Dao Yan was secretly surprised, it turned out that not only Liu Ji resigned, but Li Shanchang also returned to his hometown after illness, what happened to make these two highly respected ministers leave the court one after another? Suddenly he heard that the new prime minister was Hu Weiyong, and remembered Liu Ji's words to Ma Xiuying to beware of Hu Weiyong, he couldn't help but guess that the two ministers' Zhishi were inseparable from Hu Weiyong.

Before he had time to think about it, a group of cavalry rushed over, and the leader asked, "Is it Master Dao Yan ahead?"

Dao Yan hurriedly said: "It's the poor monk." ”

"The emperor has an order, and Master Xuandaoyan quickly returns to the palace. The cavalry leader jumped off his horse and motioned for Daoyan to get out of the car and change his horse.

Dao Yan didn't dare to delay, and immediately rode on a horse and followed the team into the palace, thinking that Zhu Yuanzhang was urging so eagerly, could it be that Ma Xiuying was not in good health again?

When he entered the palace, the guards really took him directly to Kunning Palace, there were several imperial doctors standing in the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was also there, he was just about to salute Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Go to see the queen first." ”

Dao Yan hurriedly came to Ma Xiuying's side, only to see that her face was sallow, and she hadn't seen her for a month, but she had lost a lot of circles, leaning on the pillow obliquely like a foldable piece of paper.

Xun Ying choked and said: "Master, you are finally back, Niangniang vomited blood just now, and the imperial doctor prescribed a pair of tranquilizers to let Niangniang sleep." ”

Dao Yan didn't say a word, stretched out his hand and put his hand on Ma Xiuying's wrist to check the pulse, and after a while, he said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Didn't the poor monk warn the queen mother to keep her mood comfortable and not worry about hard work, why is the queen mother's pulse so weak and seems to be overworked?"

It's not because you've been away for so long that your master worries day and night. Xun Ying glared at Dao Yan angrily, there was someone else, she couldn't explain, so she had to ask: "Does witchcraft damage people's bodies?" Niangniang was cursed with witchcraft. ”

"Someone cursed the queen mother with witchcraft?Who is so bold?" Dao Yan's face became very ugly, he traveled all over the world, heard of some powerful witchcraft techniques, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of witchcraft is it?"

This matter was given a gag order by Zhu Yuanzhang, because the people outside only knew about the minister's resignation, and did not know that there had been a witch Gu incident in the palace. Dao Yan also heard it for the first time, if Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't agreed to let him know about Ma Xiuying's condition specifically, how could Xun Ying dare to tell him about it.

Xun Ying looked slightly embarrassed, and said, "I heard that it seems to be a puppet to curse the mother with a needle." ”

"It's good that there is no direct contact, the queen mother's willpower is very strong, and she should be able to resist these curses. Dao Yan said slowly, I don't know if he said this to comfort everyone or if it was really true.

Xun Ying begged a little embarrassedly: "If it's convenient, the master will do another ritual for Niangniang to get rid of the disease." Her face was slightly red, Dao Yan hadn't taken a breath when she returned to Beijing, and asked him to do this and that, but Ma Xiuying's condition was getting more and more serious, and it was really urgent, as long as there was a way, she hoped to help Ma Xiuying alleviate her condition immediately.

"Ask the shadow maid to send someone to arrange a dharma field, give the mother medicine, and the poor monk will go over. Dao Yan did not hesitate at all, and it was also his expectation that Ma Xiuying's condition would improve.

It's just that Ma Xiuying's hemoptysis may not be eradicated, so she can only use drugs to control the condition and slowly recuperate. Dao Yan thought gloomily, took the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor and examined it carefully, and then took a few herbs from his bag and added them to let the palace people decoct the medicine according to this prescription.

Seeing that Ma Xiuying was asleep, her brows were furrowed, Dao Yan's heart was very uncomfortable, and she repeatedly told Xun Ying to remember to invigorate Ma Xiuying's blood and qi according to his massage method. After all this, he went out to meet Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't let him get up, and asked directly: "Is there a way to cure the queen's illness?"

Dao Yan tried to suppress the grief in his heart, and said calmly: "The queen mother has been suffering for a long time, and the poor monk can't be completely cured, so he can only slowly recuperate. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and angry, "What? No one has a way to cure the queen? You tell me the truth, how long can the queen live?"

"The queen is afraid that she will fall into the root of the disease because of her previous injury, and the bruise will block the lungs, and this time the old disease will recur, so it is menacing. The poor monk found some medicinal herbs that have the effect of invigorating blood and dissolving stasis, but the texture of the mother is seriously damaged and cannot be restored. If she keeps her in a good mood, her body can support her for ten years, but if she puts too much effort into it, her condition will worsen......"

Dao Yan lowered his eyes, so as not to see the anger in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. If Xun Ying hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known that Ma Xiuying had been so badly injured before. If a man can't even protect his wife, is he still a man? Ma Xiuying married him, and he didn't know how much suffering he suffered, so that his body was prematurely broken.

"It's only been ten years?" Zhu Yuanzhang slumped in his chair, unable to accept this result, and asked the other imperial doctors viciously, "Is what he said true?"

The imperial doctors kowtowed like garlic, and they didn't dare to admit or deny it, "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life!"

"The poor monks will do their best to heal the queen. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's devastated appearance, Dao Yan felt that this man still had feelings for Ma Xiuying, but he still couldn't forgive Zhu Yuanzhang for not taking good care of Ma Xiuying, and he was determined to stay in the palace to treat Ma Xiuying not because of this person's will, but for Ma Xiuying herself.

"Don't let the queen know about this. Who dares to leak this news, I am the ninth clan!" Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, glanced at everyone in awe, and staggered out of Kunning Palace.

Zhao Cheng rolled his eyes, chased after Zhu Yuanzhang's side and whispered: "The emperor hasn't asked why Master Daoyan has been delayed for so long, if he had rushed back earlier to heal the queen mother, maybe the queen mother's condition would not be so serious." ”

"You go and ask me about it. Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and continued to walk forward, the news that Ma Xiuying only had ten years to live caught him off guard, and he needed to find a quiet place to slowly accept this fact.

Zhao Cheng went and returned, and asked condescendingly: "Master Daoyan, the emperor ordered our family to ask you, why did you go to the south to collect medicine in Shudi?"

Because the poor monk remembered that there were also medicinal herbs in the south that blindly treated the queen's illness. This is the wording that Dao Yan thought of on the return trip.

Zhao Cheng's tone was almost forced, "What kind of medicinal herb?"

Dao Yan looked up at Zhao Cheng, he had always felt that Zhao Cheng was hostile to him, but he didn't understand when he had offended the chief manager. He explained: "There is an iron tree in the south, its roots can nourish and strengthen the body, its stems can relieve cough and pain, its leaves can regulate qi and activate blood, its flowers can promote blood circulation and dissolve stasis, and its fruits can reduce inflammation and stop bleeding. This plant is a treasure all over the body, and it has a relieving effect on the queen's condition, and the poor monk is looking for this medicinal material. ”

"Oh, I don't know if the master has found the flowers and fruits of the iron tree?" Zhao Cheng sneered, he heard that the iron tree only bloomed for thousands of years, so he didn't believe that Dao Yan could meet the flowering iron tree as soon as he went to the south.

Dao Yan said without humility or arrogance: "If you don't find it, how dare the poor monk return empty-handed." ”

In fact, the iron tree that grows in the south generally grows to about ten to twenty years and will bloom and bear fruit, the world says that the iron tree does not bloom because the heat in other areas is low, resulting in the irregular growth of this plant so it is difficult to flower, but the flowering of the iron tree in the south is a very common phenomenon.

"Then let's congratulate the master first. Zhao Cheng left with a sneer, Dao Yan's tone was so sure, could it be that he had really found a strange plant that had only bloomed for a thousand years. In this way, he is not only not guilty but meritorious, but it is not good to instigate the emperor to punish him.
