Chapter 69: Fan Taozhi
The glass lamp is bright, the bamboo carved lady incense tube faintly exudes a few wisps of fragrance, and a statue of Guanyin sits on the Bogu shelf with his eyes closed and smiles, a group of compassion and kindness.
Sheng Yunyi has no reason to wait for a five-grade imperial medical meal, Ding Guogong said a few words to wait for Su Hui to come back, and after some greetings, Guogong asked:
"Your Majesty, it's time in a while, do you want to go to the East Hall first?"
Sheng Yunyi's gaze stopped at the three-foot-two-inch-tall Guanyin statue, he didn't know what to think, and smiled slightly: "It's so convenient to work on Aiqing." ”
Dingguo Gong followed his line of sight, isn't it just an ordinary porcelain statue, and His Majesty doesn't believe in the Buddha very much, it is worth looking at it so fascinating?
Sheng Yunyi straightened his loose robe, and took the lead in getting up and walking to the door of the hall, his movements were extremely skillful, as if he was going to the imperial study from his own dormitory.
Dingguo Gong should have bowed down in front to lead the way, but at this time he was left behind with ten thousand doubts, and the peach wood crutches were pounding the pit on the ground, and he trotted to tell his subordinates to arrange meals, and naturally he didn't dare to say more and call Jinshang to wait for himself.
After passing through the verandah, Ding Guogong felt that something was not right, he thought that Jinshang knew the layout of his house well......, but how could this road go astray?
He cleared his throat in embarrassment: "Ahem, Your Majesty, please-"
The paper lamps hanging on the verandah were swaying in the wind, and in a soft halo, Sheng Yunyi stopped sideways, and his face next to his black hair revealed a delicate and gorgeous outline, as scorching as a pearl in the night.
"I suddenly remembered that I wanted to borrow a medicinal herb from your mansion's medicine storehouse. Commander Ji?"
Ding Guogong was still stunned, and a low voice sounded in the back of his head, which almost made him lose his cane in shock:
"The minister is here. ”
Ji Wei, the commander of the River Drum Guard! What are you doing at his house today? A letter of excerpt, borrowing a medicinal herb, sending someone to see a doctor, can you work to escort the commander of the secret guard?
Dingguo Gong felt a little furious in his heart, "The minister's house is all rewarded by the ancestor, and the minister must give it with both hands if His Majesty wants it." Dare to ask what kind of medicinal herbs do you need?"
"I have long heard that the medicine warehouse in the palace has been expanding year by year for the sake of my sister's illness over the years, and there are many crude drugs of excellent quality, and even the high-value imperial doctors in the palace are full of praise. ”
Dingguo Gong fell to his knees and shouted: "Your Majesty Xià Mingjian! The old minister has no two hearts!" he raised his head and burst into tears, "The minister is about to enter the ground, and he has been dependent on his sister since he was a child, and he is worried that the minister will go one day before her, and the sister can at least rely on the decoction to support her...... The medicinal materials of Shanggong are definitely forbidden by the national power, and no matter how much the minister saves, it can't compare to the crude medicine warehouse of the Tai Hospital!"
Sheng Yunyi bowed his head at Ji Wei and said, "Have you figured out the location of the thing in the medicine storehouse?"
Ji Wei was dressed in black, and replied cleanly: "In the tenth seven-star chest of drawers in the northwest corner, half of Fan Taozhi is made into liquid and bottled mixed in borneol and indigo in the bottle cabinet, and there is a dark cabinet behind the bottle cabinet, and the other half is air-dried. ”
Dingguo Gong was shocked, and the old man's face was full of panic: "Your Majesty wants to take ...... Is it Fan Taozhi?"
Sheng Yunyi hooked his lips coldly: "If it is said that the prince of the country attaches great importance to the old lady in the house brother and sister, the elixir he got nine years ago should have been turned into a decoction long ago?
Ji Wei touched the scabbard and smiled: "Grandpa Guo is relieved, and the minister also knows that you are reluctant, this Fan Taozhi is a rare elixir in a hundred years, and it is left in the mansion for emergencies, and it is not for people to use." But if the magic medicine can't save people, it's no different from withered grass, and now that the eldest princess Zhaoyi needs this thing urgently, why don't the princes take the opportunity to show their loyalty?"
Dingguo Gong sweated like rain, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes trembled violently, and he said tremblingly: "...... Minister...... The minister obeys His Majesty's command...... But Majesty xià also ......"
Memories from years ago flooded back in front of him, and he hated to get rid of that incident immediately. Chang was also one of the forces that seconded the disposal of Zhenguo generals Lu Ming and Wei Shangshu, and afterwards Yan Huayu secretly gave him a Muzhi that was said to have miraculous effects as a thank you. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Yan family had no place to stand in the court, and he was always timid and afraid of going with the flow, for fear that this matter would be mentioned again and ruin Chang's reputation. Sure enough, after cutting Duanyanghou's title today, are you going to deal with them again who have added a fire?
His hand loosened, and his cane fell on the stone bricks.
Sheng Yunyi frowned slightly, squinted at him for a few moments, and then left without saying a word, disappearing into the vast night.
Ji Wei noticed that something was wrong, and he was confused for a while, so he had to pat the handle of the knife and say justice to Dingguo, who was about to faint:
"Sending the grandfather to the east hall, the dishes in your house should have started. Guogong is old, don't be too nervous, it's not good for your health. ”
*
Su Huihui wrote the recipe, and changed the amount in the longan lotus seed tea that nourishes the blood and nourishes the heart, and added a few flavors of valuable herb mushroom. After leaving a bottle of Yuzha Baibu Dan, she spun around the room, and changed the flower incense that Mrs. Chang liked to the high-quality clumsy bello incense to calm her mind.
The maid waitress the doctor is familiar with the road, Su Huihui was sent out by Yingxue, the sky outside is completely dark, the house is remote, and there is no family on the path, even if she wants the maid to send her halfway, thinking of the patient who can't sleep steadily on the couch, Su Huihui walked through the garden alone with his sleeves caged, and walked on the verandah according to the light.
There was a shouting from the east side of the verandah, and she felt hungry and cold as she walked, and her nose seemed to smell the aroma of hot food.
"Lord Su. ”
Su Hui turned around, and a river drum guard in black with soap boots stood under the pillar unconsciously, showed his tooth card, and bent down to salute:
"His Majesty ordered a certain person to take Master Su to the medicine warehouse to identify the medicinal materials. ”
Su Huihui sighed, followed him with heavy legs, got down the corridor, walked along the cloud wall for a hundred or ten steps, and came to a house that also had no open flames, and there were no guards nearby.
The round-faced river drum guard handed her a small lantern: "A certain is guarding outside, His Majesty is already inside, Master Su remembers to find the tenth medicine cabinet in the northwest corner." ”
The medicine depot under the whole world is unchanged, built on a high place, dry and waterproof, clean and insect-proof, and there are all medicine cabinets placed inside, and there may be a small table near the door, and there are candles on the table that do not burn often. She used to enter the medicine warehouse during the day, and for the first time she went to look for medicine in the dark outside of Yuxiao Mountain...... Or find someone.
He's so idle.
The medicine depot of the Dingguo Mansion is much more than that in the palace, and it is impossible to see that the space is so large from the outside, densely packed with seven-star chests, vaguely enclosing a circle according to the pattern of gossip, the more she walks in, the colder her body becomes, and the dim light of the lantern also makes her feel uncomfortable.
A huge shadow was reflected in the cabinet, and Su Huihui suddenly stuck to a tall medicine cabinet and tried to shout:
"Majesty?"
Outside the window, the night owl chirped on the branches, and the sound of hula and flying away was clearly audible, and she held the lantern to her chest to make the light appear fuller.
She called a second time: "Sheng Yunyi-"
Su Huihui realized that she was so afraid of the dark, and she shrank in the corner with a lantern, if her master knew that she might force her to stay in the medicine house for a few nights, sleep during the day and take medicine at night to practice her courage. She paused for a moment, and when no one answered, she put on the hat of her cloak, wrapped her collar tightly and pinched the flower button, and hurried in.
What if he's in there and takes care of her?
She felt the smell of medicine in the air flowing through her hat, and her back couldn't help but sweat, and as soon as she relaxed, she was slapped on the shoulder by Huo Ran, and most of the three souls and seven spirits flew immediately.
The familiar face came into view, his eyebrows were like green feathers, his eyes were starry, and the smile on the corner of his lips in the jumping firelight was slightly drunk, like the wine shaking in the jade bottle, clear and bewildering.
Su warmed up and held the medicine cabinet, his wrist was weak, and he almost couldn't hold the lantern steadily.
"I don't know if I've walked through it, haven't I counted? This is the tenth. ”
She glared at him under a very low hat, and her brown eyes were as bright as spars on her palm-sized face, looking aggrieved and pitiful.
"You're so interesting, don't tell me you didn't hear me call you over there!"
Sheng Yunyi raised her hand and pulled off her plush hat, revealing her messed hair, pulling out the hairpin, untying the ribbon, and a green silk suddenly slipped off, and the tentacles were like silk soaked in ice water.
Su Hui angrily pulled up a lock of hair, and couldn't calm down for a while: "So you'd better tell me that you will comb your hair with this." ”
He couldn't help laughing, his fingers leaking through his fingers, and he whispered: "I just want to see if you will come to me, you just came here, I just remembered that most girls will be afraid of this environment, so I grabbed you." ”
Su Huihui felt that he couldn't communicate with him, so he said with a gloomy face: "Identify what medicinal materials, hurry up, and go out after speaking." ”
Sheng Yunyi held her hair and pulled it in a bun, she was stunned, and for some reason obediently let him fiddle with it, and stopped talking. He shook his hands softly, and with a dexterous twist of his fingers, the pointed end of the Xue Lan hairpin was about to be inserted into the thick bun.
The Su Hexiang on her body blended with the rich medicinal smell around her, An Tian was distinct, and a wisp of heat burst out from the tightly covered neckline, which was incompatible with the cold of Sen Ran, and tickled people's hearts. His hair fell back in a reasonable way, and the hairpin was held back in his palm, and his whole body was hot, and he pulled her into his arms violently and kissed her fiercely.
The lantern fell to the ground, tilted twice, and calmed down. Su Huihui was groggy from his kiss, his back was light, the cloak was loosened and fell on the lantern paper, the room was dark, and he couldn't see anything in an instant.
A blue-gray moonlight streamed in through the narrow skylight, and she opened her eyes slightly, and he was so close to her that he could detect tiny particles of dust floating in his sideburns, sinking into the water. Then she finally came to her senses, pushed him hard, dodged his lips and tilted her head, and said:
"The lights will go out......"
He ignored her, gasping and grabbing her hand, pushing her against the medicine cabinet and sucking his lips. The hot breath shifted from the corners of her lips to her neck, and she shivered in thin layers, and her sense of touch in the darkness became more acute. His warm fingers gently slid down his collarbone, picking open a corner of her snow-white middle coat, her shoulders cold, and a thin sweat suddenly broke out on her back.
"You, what's wrong with you......" She suppressed her panic, but her voice seemed to be a wick that was about to burn out, so weak that it was unfamiliar, "Sheng Yunyi ......"
His eyebrows narrowed invisibly, and he said in a dumb voice, "It's okay." After a few moments of silence, he pulled on her clothes, sorted out every wrinkle, and said, "I'm sorry." ”
Su Huihui squatted down and groped for the cloak on the ground in a panic, and when he touched his stubborn hand, Sheng Yunyi pulled her to stand up, hugged her and said:
"Knowing something, I'm in a bad mood. I'm afraid that you will get lost, so you can rest assured by keeping it by your side. ”
Her heart was full of enthusiasm, wrapped her arms around his waist, and looked up at him: "You said that I don't want to leave Beijing with them." ”
His tone was solemn: "I don't want to either." At first, I thought it was nothing, but now I really don't want to. ”
Usually as soon as he is serious, Su Huihui becomes bolder, rubs his chin and says, "Then I'm here to accompany you, okay?" I told Yan Gongzi myself, anyway, there are not bad people in the team. If I move my things to live in the center, I can run into you when I go out. ”
He suddenly couldn't say anything under her extremely focused gaze. The feeling that his heart slowly melted into the language was extremely real, and every time she said a word, his thinking sank down a point, and finally he reached the bottom, and he could no longer see anything else, only her, in his eyes, on his heart.
After Su Hui finished speaking, he waited for him to express his expression, but he stared at him for a long time without blinking before he heard a sigh.
"Don't move, I can't help it. ”
Su Huihui turned around, put the back of his hand against his hot cheek and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, find some medicine, don't waste time here." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the bottle cabinet opened.
Sheng Yunyi said: "The light is out, you can't see clearly, and I don't have flint on me." ”
“…… What the hell are you calling me for?"
"Did Mr. Qin tell you about Fan Taozhi?"
Su Huihui leaned on the opposite cabinet in a daze, "Isn't that the legendary elixir?" Fan Taozhi, whose wood is like a dragon, its flowers and leaves are like Danluo, in fact, it is like a kingfisher, no more than five feet high, born in the yin of the famous mountain, the soil of the spring water flowing eastward, and waits for it in the beginning of summer, and obtains and ends up to obey it, and it is 5,000 years old...... This is what is described in the eleventh volume of the inner part of "Hug Puzi". Really?"
"You have a good memory. But your master hasn't been able to tell you about his life's studies?"
Su Huihui was very uncomfortable, and said helplessly: "I haven't learned one-tenth of him." ”
Sheng Yunyi raised his eyebrows, "Then there's no need to call you here, I thought you knew." It seems that Mr. Qin also thinks that you are a serious person, and many things are hidden from you. ”
It was inexplicable, Su Huihui said angrily: "If there is anything, you can say it directly, don't be like him!" I can only recall that when I was seven or eight years old, he explained with great interest, but I thought it was just interest. ”
Sheng Yunyi said slowly: "Fan Taozhi is produced in the South China Sea, and it is said that there are thousands of changes in the way of detoxification. I once got a handwritten book in which various immortal medicines were actually stored in detail, and I happened to write about the method of using Fan Taozhi to relieve heat and poison. ”
Su Hui's right eyelid jumped violently, "You mean it was written by my master?" You checked his handwriting? Maybe it's a copy, it's not necessarily ......."
"You should know that Mr. Qin's words are extremely difficult to imitate, and his writing is also different. More than thirty years ago, he spent more time in Qi than Northern Liang in a year. ”
"Tried?"
Sheng Yunyi smiled meaninglessly, "Of course." I only have one sister. ”
