Chapter 17: Black and White Chess Pieces (1)
In the warm pavilion, Su Lan leaned over in front of Zhang Ping's bed, as if she was taking a closer look at his injuries, and asked a few questions from time to time, with a look of concern and Zheng Yu, who was just drinking tea on the side, in stark contrast.

The wide-sleeved robe hung down at her side, hiding her movements of secretly cutting the pulse for Zhang Ping. She quietly looked at the people serving in the inner room, in addition to the two big maids with neat eyebrows, there were also a few small servants standing on the side, but it seemed a little crowded. And Mrs. Zhang Pingzheng just gave birth to a daughter a few years ago, and she was only out of confinement, and she did not come to this Royal Forest Garden to hunt. After a while, Su Lan silently withdrew her hand, and said a few words of advice as usual, and then sat down beside Zheng Yu.
Su Lan picked up the tea cup and lowered her eyes, as if watching the trajectory of the tea leaves.
Although her medical skills are not refined, her foundation is also solid, and the pulse is taught by Wei Guoan, the world's first doctor, this time, she knows that Zhang Ping's heart is indeed damaged, but it may not be incurable, although she is not good, but Wei Guoan is at least sixty percent sure. It's just that his wife is destined to be widowed. Zhang Ping's lineage now has only one daughter, and Zhang Huan only has one son, so he is an heir.
The blow of the word absolute heir to a family can be said to be a catastrophe. Behind these two words will be a brutal feud within the family. With the heirs in power, and then the other branches of the family will fight for the inheritance, they will inevitably seek help from the outside, so all parties intervene, and in the end, the family will almost inevitably fall apart, and even if it survives, it will be much worse than before.
Such a Zhang family is far more valuable than letting Zhang Ping die. If he dies, Zhang Huan can ask for a seal for him, then it is not impossible to pass a stepbaby to him to inherit incense, and even concoct an aunt who is pregnant with a posthumous child. But now that he is alive and has a daughter under his knees, according to the law of Great Chu, he cannot raise the son of the clan to inherit the heir. As for the pregnant aunt, presumably Mrs. Zhang is not willing to find a wild seed to inherit the family business.
Seeing Zhang Huan coming in, Su Lan slowly put down the teacup, stood up, narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Zhang Ping who was sleeping on the bed again, pulled Zheng Yu up and got up to say goodbye.
When she stepped out of the threshold, she couldn't help laughing, just because, according to the next step of the plan, what she had to do was to save Zhang Ping's life, and the longer the better.
In the evening, Wei Guoan's diagnosis of Zhang Ping spread all over the Imperial Forest Garden, and he only said, "I can save the heart of Commander Zhang." It's just that human life can be continued, but it is difficult to continue children. Besides, the life that continues is destined to be the life of a paralyzed person. ”
These words are mercilessly embarrassing, but they are Wei Guoan's consistent style. Su Lan didn't have any sympathy for Zhang Ping, just thinking that Wei Guoan was really relieved when he checked his pulse. Because he is indeed his own heir, he does not need to do anything else. The heart of the healer, which is not yet blackened, may still be able to be in a corner of peace.
Su Lan was still on top of the small building, but this time, she climbed onto the roof. On the third day, the pain in her lower abdomen finally stopped, and even Li Yuan couldn't force her back indoors. She looked into the distance, slowly stretched out her hands, and opened her ten fingers, which were as white as jade, long and slender, and seemed transparent in the moonlight, and her left hand was crossed by a scar, which looked even more hideous. These hands used to be the one who held the oil-paper umbrella lightly when the spring rain and apricot blossoms in the south of the Yangtze River, but now they are the ones who kill people with swords when they send wind and strong horses to the north. Although he was still fair, he didn't know how much blood he had stained.
"What's the matter? Are you scared? Or do you think you're too ruthless now, and you want to be a good boy and a good son. There were few stars in the sky, and the flag in the distance was stirred by the wind, and the voice of another person came from the sound of the hunting wind, who sat side by side with her on the roof of the small building at some point. The melting moonlight poured on Su Lan's face, illuminating her complexion as a pear blossom snow, while the person beside her was hidden in the darkness. In the night, I couldn't see my facial features clearly, only those eyes, like a cold spring, clear and sparkling.
Su Lan turned her head to look at him, glanced at him, then turned her head to look ahead, and said, "You still come to see me at this time." ”
"There's something I don't know, and I want you to answer my questions. Although Su Lan didn't look at him, she knew that he must be smiling at the moment.
Say. ”
"What's going on with Zhang Ping's horse? What kind of medicine did you take, but you couldn't find any traces. Wouldn't it be nice if it could be used by someone? ”
"No poison in the world can be done without a trace. Su Lan chuckled, "It's just that the means of testing are not clever enough." And the safer way is to not use drugs. ”
"Needle?"
"Yes. Using a silver needle into the acupuncture point can change the pulse of a person, and it can be both a living person and a dead person. In this veterinary department, it is more or less the same. Su Lan smiled more and more happily, "Our Ninth Master has a saying that is right, this Royal Forest Garden is in my hands, I really want to do something, no one can stop it." ”
"Oh? There was a little smile in the man's voice, and Qinglingling's voice was also much softer, "I only knew that you were quite skilled in poison before, and I didn't want you to have this ability." ”
"Poison making is just a small part of the medical arts, and I don't like the art of disambiguation, so I specialize in this one. Su Lan sighed, "However, the technique of disambiguation, I am still much stronger than the sitting doctors of ordinary medical halls." But among the people I know, the highest medical skill is my brother Wang Su, even Guoan and him are just a draw. ”
"What kind of medicine is on Your Majesty?" The man's tone was gentle and calm, as if he was chatting, but his eyes were burning on Su Lan.
"Pull the machine. Su Lan blurted out without thinking, but both of them were stunned, Su Lan smiled evasively, not annoyed, as if what she just said was that it was very windy tonight.
"Isn't that a poison that seals your throat with blood?"
Su Lan picked her eyelids and looked at him with a smile on her face: "If this matter hadn't been borrowed from you, it wouldn't have been possible, and now you asked me what kind of medicine it was?"
"Why, Lord Su doesn't want to solve my puzzles?"
"That's it. Su Lan shook her head exaggeratedly, "The moonlight is just right, so it doesn't hurt to talk to you." ”
The man looked up at the sky, and the bright moon hung high, clear and clear, but there was a hidden defect.
Su Lan smiled, "In the eyes of poison users, everything in the world can hurt people, and the key is just how much. The so-called sealing of the throat when seeing blood is to take very little, and you can take a person's life in an instant. I have made a slight modification to divide the very small amount of medicine that kills at one time into several portions, so that it does not kill people, but it is more potent than a chronic poison. With the precision of the matching, you can control the time of His Majesty's seizure. If you don't take action to get rid of that little eunuch, I can also control the time and extent of His Majesty's illness at will through him, and now, it's a pity. ”
"If I don't get rid of him, how can I explain it to the East Palace. His tone was not good, but it was gentle, "Be honest, I wish you were honest with me." ”
"You and I are two black and white pieces on this chessboard. Su Lan sighed, "As everyone knows, it's a person who plays chess." ”
"Su Lan, are you a chess piece?" the man asked, his gaze locked on Su Lan's face, and she felt that she was reflected by that gaze and had nowhere to escape.
"I wish your heart was like my heart. Su Lan met his gaze and said slowly word by word.
The man chuckled, looking at Su Lan's gaze as sharp as a knife, but he was a few closer to Su Lan, he faintly flashed his face from the shadows, and the moonlight on the high nose finally poured, shining on half of his face, like a demon and a fairy, and Su Lan's gaze seemed to be blurred, "I think you know the truth in your heart?" You, you have no conscience, I am now under the pressure of a huge Zhang family for you." ”
Su Lan was confused by his magnificent complexion, but for some reason, she became a little flustered, blinked her eyes, didn't look at his bright eyes reflected by the moonlight, and said, "Why didn't I withstand the pressure of the Li family for you, so, it's even." ”
"Flattening?" he said with a smile, as if he saw Su Lan's panic at the moment, but he deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was muttering, adding to the confusion, "I don't want to talk to you about the word flattening." Between you and me, it's not good to be too clear. ”
When Su Lan heard what he said, she only felt that her head was big, and the person who was like her in the past seemed to be a different person under the moon tonight. Thinking about it, he stretched out his hand to the man's face, pinched it a few times, and surprised the man, only to hear her say, "This is not a human skin mask, how is it so different from the past?"
"What do you think is good?"
"What does it have to do with me?" Su Lan's expression was clear, but there was a suspicious reddish tinge in her ears under the moonlight, and she tucked her hand into her sleeve.
The man was still smiling kindly, learning from Su Lan's appearance, pinching his face, which was really funny, but that look somehow made people feel bleak, and even his voice became more and more hoarse: "Do you know that Tai Chi Pisces diagram, black and white, and white and black, black and white blend, mutual growth and restraint, where can it be separated." In this world, who is pure white and who is pure black, black and white, light and dark, who can say clearly, it doesn't matter where it is. ”
Su Lan opened her mouth, but she didn't speak, looked at his figure, and suddenly disappeared in front of her.
Under the small building, an indigo soft sedan car gradually drifted away, and snow gradually fell in the sky, reflecting the moonlight, and the sky and earth were white.
"I, where do I like you like this? Su Lan stood up slowly, only to feel that the snow in the world seemed to fall on her shoulders, "Where do you dare to have a relationship with you, where do you dare." ”
So Su Lan jumped down from the roof, rolled up the snowstorm, and landed at her feet in a circle, Li Yuan stepped forward to hold up an umbrella for her, a white twenty-four bone oil paper umbrella, and the umbrella surface was painted with beautiful ink mountains and rivers.
The snow fell in the sky and the earth, and no one compared, but I felt extremely sad.
