Yun Yao waited until noon before she saw Gao Su and Hu Luguang walking out of the palace together.

When they reached the palace gate, they parted. Gao Su took the horse from the guards, walked along the mezzanine to the street, then turned on his horse and galloped all the way to a village on the outskirts of the city before stopping. Yun Yao wanted to stop him, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity, so he followed him to Zhuangzi's side.

The Zhuangzi is a little old, and even the vermilion paint on the door is mottled a lot, and it is obviously a few years old.

It was quiet in the Zhuangzi, and only an old servant was standing by the door, dozing under the tree.

Gao Su stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the dilapidated wooden door creaked heavily. The old servant was awakened, looked at him with cloudy eyes, squinted his eyes and carefully identified them for a while, before he hissed, "Little master." Then he stepped forward and opened the door for him.

Gao Su handed the horse into the hands of the old servant and said, "You rest, I'll take a look in the ancestral hall." ”

The old servant answered, led the horse, and went back to dozing.

Gao Su walked all the way into the Zhuangzi, bypassed a lotus pond and cloister, and finally stood in front of a dark and quaint ancestral hall. The ancestral hall seemed to be new, the vermilion paint had not yet been mottled, and there were some dark blood stains on the ground. There was no sound of chickens, dogs, insects and pigs around, only two old servants came out of the ear room, and when they saw that it was Gao Su, they shouted "little master" in twos and threes, and went back to the house.

Gao Su pushed open the door of the ancestral hall and walked in.

Yun Yao stood in front of the ancestral hall and hesitated for a while, then slowly floated to a tree next to her and hung herself. She probably guessed what kind of place this was, Gao Su's mother family was convicted, and she couldn't erect a monument after death, and she couldn't be buried in the cemetery, so she set up an ancestral hall here, and added incense every year. Those people outside called him "little master", and I think this is the reason.

"How do I do it......" A low voice floated from the ancestral hall.

"Duan Shao sent someone to ask for help, and His Majesty really asked me to bring people to the west for reinforcements. But when I go, I don't know if I'll be able to come back. He stroked the tassel on his sword and said in a low voice, "This is a state affair and my family affair, and I should not shirk it in any way." The war in the west is tight, and Yuwen is pressing closely, if the Great Qi is really destroyed, I can't survive. One must build on a firm foundation? ”

He sighed heavily: "But what Your Majesty did before really made me feel cold. ”

Gao Su knelt motionless in front of the spirit, looking at the neat row of spiritual positions, his expression a little confused.

When he returned to Yecheng a few days ago, he had already personally used that person's head to comfort his ancestor's spirit in the sky. Whether or not to go to the west now can be said to have nothing to do with me, it is all because of the word "state affairs". He is the clan of Daqi, and he is a general with heavy troops, if he escapes before the battle, then he will not even be able to pass his own level.

But...... But not long ago, his princess once asked him: "What if the border war resumes, and the prince forcibly asks you to go to war with the fish talisman?" At that time, he also said that it would be natural, but where did he expect it, the matter was really said by her.

War resumed in the west, and the new emperor asked him to bring reinforcements.

After thinking about it, Gao Su finally let out a long sigh and said, "Your Majesty is suspicious of me, probably because of my fame and high achievements. If I damage my reputation, and then fold some military power in my hands, I want to come to Your Majesty with a little less suspicion. ”

After thinking about it, he bowed three more times to the spiritual seat above, turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall.

When the two old servants outside saw him, they all greeted him in unison and called the little master. One said, "The little master has had frequent good news over the years, which is really a blessing for Daqi", and the other said, "Last time, the little master brought that person's head to pay tribute to the old master and the two masters, and I think the master can also smile at Jiuquan." Gao Su answered one by one, and told them to guard carefully, and then slowly walked out again.

The old servant guarding the door also called "little master", untied the maroon horse, and handed it over to Gao Su.

Gao Su nodded at him, said "You have work", and led the big red horse and walked slowly towards the city. Yun Yao floated three steps behind him, trying to find a suitable opportunity to stop him, but there were peasants passing by from time to time, and there were two guards standing at the gate of the city, so he couldn't find a chance at all. She followed Gao Su for a moment, and then decided to turn around.

Suddenly, there was the neighing of horses in the city. Gao Su looked with her and saw a general in armor, who was riding his horse in a hurry, and the whip was repeatedly whipped on the war horse under the crotch. Gao Su recognized that it was Hu Luguang, so he turned on his horse and walked head-on.

Hu Luguang suddenly came to Gao Su because there was another urgent military report from the west.

"Yuwen has sent out all the most powerful generals under him." Hu Luguang said, "Huagu and Baigu are in a hurry, if you and I don't bring troops over, Duan Kid will be broken into two." I know what you're worried about, you don't need to worry about the prince, he can't take care of you for the past two days. As for your princess...... It just so happened that I saw a miracle doctor the day before yesterday, and I sent it to your house when I got back, and asked him to treat your wife for a brain disease. Lao Tzu told you that it is not a ...... to avoid medical treatment."

The voices of the two men faded away along with the sound of the horses' hooves.

Yun Yao slowly showed her figure, and slowly floated back to the Lanling Palace.

Gao Su was taken to the palace by Hu Luguang and will not come back in a short time. She spread out the rice paper and pen and ink she had just had, and wrote stroke by stroke according to the outline that Gao Su had described. I am willing to match virtue and join hands......

She wrote the nine words over and over until her handwriting was faint and almost nothing.

In the blink of an eye, two hours passed.

The little maid outside the courtyard knocked lightly on the door, saying that the king had returned and was waiting for her outside. And the king also brought two distinguished guests. Yun Yao guessed that the two people were Hu Luguang who she had just met, and the so-called miracle doctor in Hu Luguang's mouth, so she put down her pen and paper, got up and came to the front yard. Sure enough, there were two people sitting in the front yard, one with a full beard and the other with a white beard, both looking at her with a curious look.

Gao Su led Yun Yao to the atrium and said, "I heard that I was in the palace a few days ago, and my food and accommodation were a little unstable, so I asked General Hu Lu to find a doctor to come over and show you your body." The physician is enshrined in the Hu Lu general's family, and he is very knowledgeable. ”

As he spoke, he helped Yun Yao to sit down in front of the couch.

Yun Yao was a little surprised, and said, "I didn't ...... a few days ago."

"A-Yao." Gao Su stopped her words and said with a smile: "Let the doctor take a look." ”

But all wives and children who have lived in the palace and are released from the palace have to be examined by a doctor according to the usual practice. Because they are very restless in the palace, they don't know when, they may eat some strange things.

But Gao Su didn't plan to let his princess know about these pickled things.

Yun Yao faintly guessed something in her heart, and she didn't say it clearly, but stretched out her hand in front of the doctor and said, "There is work." ”

The doctor covered her wrist with a piece of cloth, extended three more fingers, and pressed lightly on her wrist. After a while, his expression became solemn, and he asked some more about eating and living, and Yun Yao answered them one by one. After another moment, the doctor slowly withdrew his hand and said, "Lady, this is poisonous in the womb, poisonous and negative; It's just plain, but if you give birth to a child, it's easy to die. ”

- The mother's womb is poisonous, and the toxicity is negative.

- If you give birth to a child, you are prone to death.

Gao Su squeezed the corner of the case tightly and said word by word: "What you said is true?" ”

The doctor frowned and said, "The old man has been practicing medicine for more than forty years, although he does not dare to pretend to be a reincarnation, but there has never been a wrong judgment. If King Lanling doesn't believe it, then you might as well ask Taiyi Ling and Taiyi Cheng to come over for diagnosis in person, and you can know it by trying. ”

That's a real assertion.

Gao Su's face turned pale, and he broke off a piece of the corner of the case. The sharp wooden spike pierced his fingertips, and a bead of blood oozed out slightly, melting into the wooden thorn and disappearing. But Gao Su didn't realize it, and his face became worse and worse.

He quickly remembered that on the day he married the princess, the princess had occasionally mentioned that there was something dirty in the clan.

He then thought that in his more than 20 years of life, he had heard more than once that he was in a bad life, and he had a wife and children.

Kezuma...... Kezi ......

At that moment, this general, who has always been brave and resolute, and the king of Lanling, who did not change his face in front of the enemy's army, was as pale as paper.

"How can this be...... Gao Su muttered, "how can it be that there is poison in the womb?" ”

He turned to look at his princess, who looked at him and muttered, "Fetal poison? ……”

She remembered that when she was still in Jinyang City, she had a stepmother. The stepmother was her biological mother's own cousin, but she hated to eat her flesh raw, and because of her resemblance to her biological mother, she was troubled everywhere. When it was contacted, her biological mother died early, and just now the doctor said that "giving birth to a child is easy to die"......

It is not difficult to guess that this so-called fetal poison is the handiwork of the stepmother.

Yun Yao thought of this, and was secretly a little frightened. She originally thought that the stepmother only managed to make a continuation after her cousin died, but she didn't expect that even the death of her biological mother had a part of the stepmother. She thought of the Zhaoyi lady in the palace, and couldn't help but hiss softly, and called, "Changgong." ”

Gao Su asked in a low voice, "What did A-Yao remember?" He knew that Yun Yao was born in the Zheng clan in Xingyang, and the filth in the clan was also first-class. When Yun Yao married him, she confessed that she had pretended to be a fool for a while. Now that she heard Yun Yao call him, and saw Yun Yao's solemn expression, she guessed that she probably thought of the reason for the matter.

The doctor had already prescribed the prescription next to him, folded it carefully, and handed it to Gao Su.

Gao Su's gaze swept over the prescription, and his face changed suddenly. But soon, he let out a long breath: "There is labor." ”

The doctor nodded, whispered something to Hu Luguang, and got up to leave.

Gao Su got up and sent the doctor, as well as Hu Luguang, who accompanied the doctor. By the time he returned, his face had softened a little, but it was still very ugly. Yun Yao pulled him to sit down beside him, and told him the words he had just thought of.

"I'm going to write a letter to my sister and to both Jinyang City." Yun Yao said, "If this thing is really as I expected, then maybe my sister will be ...... But my stepmother has probably been severely punished by the clan, and even if she wants to ask, she can't ask anything. ”

Gao Su hugged her in his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid. ”

Yun Yao paused and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid." She rested on Gao Su's shoulder and slowly closed her eyes.

Gao Su took her whole in his arms and sighed heavily. He asked the little guy to get some pen and ink and began to write letters to Jinyang City. If it is really as A-Yao said, this matter has nothing to do with her stepmother, then there should be some solutions in Jinyang City.

Then there is Zheng Zhaoyi in the palace, and he also has to hand over a message to inquire about one or two.

And then there's ......

"Chang Gong." Yun Yao asked softly, "What did the doctor say to you just now?" ”
