Section 26 The Imperial Dynasty is Dangerous
A week later, the emperor finally got up, and his physical strength gradually began to recover, he was very happy, and the first thing he did when he got up was to find out the murderer of him, and everyone pointed the finger at Tong Muzhi, who was dying in the prison. But Qi Niancheng immediately retorted: "The prince also suffered from the same disease after Tong Muzhi was imprisoned, which shows that Tong Muzhi cannot be the murderer at all." ”
The Son of Heaven nodded thoughtfully, but except for Tong Muzhi's clue, there was no clue. This made things come to an impasse, the emperor suddenly thought of the miracle doctor who cured him, and immediately summoned her into the hall, the moment Tong Sixue came in, the emperor's eyes could no longer move, except for spinning on her, or spinning on her, Tong Sixue's face was flushed. One is a time-honored and promiscuous emperor, and the other is a young girl who has not been involved in affairs, and the girl naturally can't escape the emperor's palm.
The emperor almost forgot the reason for announcing her entry into the palace, and after a long time, Qi Niancheng reminded: "Report to the emperor, this is Lu Xue, the granddaughter of the generation of divine doctor Lu Baixiong, and she is the one who cured your illness!" Only then did the emperor come to his senses, dancing happily, and he couldn't wait to carry Sixue back to the palace immediately.
But he still knows how to behave, and he pretended to be grateful: "Thank you Doctor Lu for saving your life, and the widow will reward the doctor heavily!" From now on, you will be the first imperial doctor of my Dachen Kingdom, let that surnamed Tong get out! Si Xue knelt and kowtowed: "Thank you for the emperor's kindness, the little woman is ashamed, the little woman is a person from the mountains and wilderness, if the emperor has a useful place, he can solve problems for the emperor at any time, as for the position of the imperial doctor, the little woman will never dare to bear it." ”
The emperor was a little disappointed, and said stupidly: "Since this is the case, the widow will reward you with 10,000 households, 1,000 acres of fertile land, and 10,000 taels of gold!" You can also enter and leave the palace at any time! Si Xue bowed again and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but there is one thing, the little woman is not unhappy." The emperor was interested and asked, "What is the matter with the divine doctor?" Si Xue said: "Report to the emperor, your dragon's poor health is really caused by the hot weather and eating unclean things, and you are infected with a slight wind sickness, which is not artificial. ”
"Wind sickness? It's the first time I've heard of it, have you ever heard of it? As soon as the emperor asked, everyone was secretly thinking, if they said they knew, it would be the crime of bullying the king, but if they didn't know, they seemed to be shallow in their studies, and they were not as good as a little girl, it was too embarrassing, everyone had a ghost in their hearts, Qi Niancheng immediately realized that this woman was deliberately exculpating Tong Muzhi, so he followed and said: "Wechen has heard of it, such a disease has not been committed for a long time, and Wechen has seen it in an ancient book and classics. ”
When everyone heard that Qi Niancheng actually knew, they all rushed to say that they knew, and the emperor heard it and said, "It seems that the widow has wronged Tong Qing's family, come here!" Go to the prison and invite Tong Qing's house back to the house! Si Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and before she could be happy, the emperor had already stepped off the dragon chair, slowly walked up to her, with an excited face, he turned around her, and then said: "You all retreat, Doctor Lu stays, and the widow wants to thank you!" Everyone knew it, and they retreated one by one with a secret smile, Si Xue was thinking about how to get out, and she couldn't break out!
At this time, Qi Niancheng grabbed the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, your dragon is not in good health, let's go back and rest first!" Speaking of God, the emperor's brain immediately hurt, and he was a little uncomfortable, so he reluctantly returned to the dormitory, and did not forget to say to Sixue before leaving: "Doctor Lu, tomorrow, tomorrow and wait for the summons of the widow!" ”
Qi Niancheng walked out of the hall with Si Xue, and Si Xue turned around and thanked: "Thank you for this old man's life-saving grace!" Qi Niancheng touched his beard and said with a smile: "Each other, you saved my brother in life and death, I saved your life, it can be regarded as a retribution!" Only then did Si Xue understand, and Qi Niancheng asked, "However, I want to know, how did you think of saving Imperial Doctor Tong at such a young age?" ”
Si Xue lowered her head, and after a long while, she said, "Don't hide it, Imperial Doctor Tong is my father!" Little woman Tong Sixue! Qi Niancheng looked at the thin girl in front of him in surprise, and really looked a little like Tong Muzhi, he patted her shoulder and said: "Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs, and the old brother of Muzhi has a daughter like you, and this life is in vain!" Go, son, come with me to see your father! ”
Tong Muzhi only has half a life left, which is not an exaggeration, because his three ribs were broken, his legs were also lame, one eye was also blinded, and his body was covered with scars from the soldering iron, and his body was almost incomplete. Si Xue trembled and hugged her father, the heroic father, but now he has become like this. Si Xue couldn't wait to kill the dog emperor immediately, Tong Muzhi shook his head with a smile and said: "My Si Xue has grown up, don't cry, there's nothing to cry about, my life was originally picked up, I have been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I can survive without the strength of a chicken, it is not easy, I am content!" ”
Si Xue wiped her tears and said, "Dad, why don't you go back to Baicao Village and never come here again!" Tong Muzhi sighed and said: "I'm afraid this is no longer up to me, you go quickly, follow Xiaofan out of here, go as far as you can, I know that you are safe, I am relieved." ”
As he was talking, the emperor's edict came over, in which he comforted Tong Muzhi and promised to reinstate the official and reward him with a thousand taels. After Tong Muzhi received the holy decree, he just smiled helplessly, and did not have too many expressions. Si Xue knew that her father had already looked down on it, so it was okay. The father-in-law who delivered the decree saw that Si Xue was also there, so he took out another holy decree from his cuff, this was a holy decree for Si Xue, and the emperor invited her to enter the palace tomorrow evening to admire the moon.
This is undoubtedly a naked courtship, Si Xue will not be able to retreat after entering the palace, chastity is more precious than anything for a woman, and Si Xue is naturally more fancy. The soothing affection that was rare in Fang became cloudy again. At this time, Shufan had already returned to Tong Muzhi's house, and he also had mixed feelings when he heard the news, he had never been so flustered, and it was the first time he tasted the taste of being weak, Tong Muzhi secretly sighed and said: "Fan'er, you take Xue'er and leave!" ”
Shu Fan's hands were trembling, he didn't have much energy to leave with Si Xue, and after a while, he said calmly: "Uncle, let's go together." Si Xue should also say: "To be born together, to die together!" Tong Muzhi shook his head, walked to the bedroom, took out a set of thick scrolls, and said: "This is a variety of good remedies that I have summarized all my life, which have been verified many times, and the difference is very small, Xue'er, you have to pass her on and benefit more people." ”
Si Xue took this book, the four big characters of "The Essence of the Southern Kingdom" are like a knife stabbed in Si Xue's chest, this is the father's suicide note, everyone may leave a suicide note, or lament their life, or distribute family wealth, or admonish their children and grandchildren, or cherish the world. Tong Muzhi's suicide note is different, he only left a medical book, which is the essence of his life.
Si Xue shook her head hard and said, "Dad, let's go together!" Tong Muzhi's only eyes were a little red, and the few words that came out of his mouth made them both silent: "That **** has taken poison, and the time has come to think about it." Si Xue immediately stepped forward to diagnose her father's pulse, Tong Muzhi dragged the lame leg back a few steps, shook his hand, and said, "No need, I have been practicing medicine all my life, and my condition can still be grasped." The two of you take the book and go to Qi Niancheng's house to hide, and sneak out of the city when you find an opportunity. ”
Si Xue still wanted to say something, Tong Muzhi no longer had the strength. In the evening of the next day, seeing the sun gradually disappearing into the horizon, Tong Sixue was reluctant to leave his father, at this time Tong Muzhi's face was darker than yesterday, especially the two deep-seated eye sockets, pitch black, this is obviously a sign that the poison has attacked the heart, Sixue tried her best to alleviate her father's pain, so as to accompany her on this last journey, Tong Muzhi looked up at the sky, and said loudly: "Go quickly!" Sixue hesitated, reluctant to move her steps, Tong Muzhi shouted: "Hurry up and let me go!" It was almost all his strength, and a mouthful of blood spat out.
Si Xue hurriedly stepped forward to help Tong Muzhi, but Tong Muzhi pushed Si Xue away, and said with a sad face: "Xue'er, let's go!" Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life, I want you to be happy, happy for the rest of your life. Shu Fan knew his uncle's sore spot, so he pulled Si Xue and walked out, Si Xue looked at his father who was far away and almost fainted.
It's good to faint, you don't have to face this pain of life and death when you pass out, people who pass out know everything, but they don't want to know anything, Sixue's heart is dripping blood, when her mother died, she was still very young, so there was no pain at all, but seeing her father leave her, she couldn't accept this fact at all.
When he came to Qi Niancheng's house, Qi Niancheng had already packed up two guest rooms for the two of them, and looking at Si Xue's crazy appearance, he sighed and said to Shufan: "Don't go out for the past two days, and when I arrange the matter of leaving the city, I will send you out immediately." "Jinling City is a bit strange, it is not easy to find a person in such a large city, a weak woman.
The emperor went crazy and asked the whole city to be searched, going door to door to find Sixue's whereabouts, and when Qi Niancheng rushed back, the officers and soldiers had already arrived at their house. Qi Niancheng hurriedly greeted him and respectfully asked the general at the head: "This general, I am the imperial doctor, is it inappropriate for you to be so reckless!" ”
This general is actually a captain, not a serious general, but his temper is not small, especially in this troubled era, they will always look down on civilian officials, and they are powerless, but they can often change the fate of these people. The captain raised his hand high and said awe-inspiringly: "I have been summoned by the Holy Lord to find the whereabouts of the divine doctor Lu Xue, and every family must not be left behind. If there is any disobedience, it will be killed! ”
This was the emperor's decree, and he wanted to hurry back to hide his thoughts, but it was too late. The lieutenant didn't wait for him to reply and began to search the Qi Mansion, the Qi Mansion is not big, there are a total of more than a dozen rooms, it is simply clear at a glance, when searching Dao Shufan's house, Shufan was wiping the long sword in his hand, and when he heard that someone was coming in, he hurriedly threw the sword and inserted it into the beam.
