The brain is like a pot of porridge boiling, this side subsides, that side swells up again. Yao Miaoyi took a deep breath, closed the doors and windows, and shouted in a low voice: "At that time, King Kaiping was surrounded by confidants like you, as well as his own son Chang Sen and brother-in-law Lan Yu, who would dare to murder the commander of the First Army in full view?!" ”

"Wang Ning! Don't let anyone take advantage of you! Who led you to think like that? This person is determined to have ill intentions and sow discord, lest the world be chaotic. ”

Syllable!

Wang Ning stood up abruptly and smashed his fist on the case, Yao Miaoyi was shy, and the furniture she purchased was made of cheap miscellaneous wood, which couldn't withstand Wang Ning's fist at all, and the case was directly pierced.

The back of Wang Ning's hand was pierced several times by miscellaneous wood, dripping with blood, and he shouted like a trapped beast: "I knew you wouldn't believe me!" King Kaiping's martial arts are strong, brave in battle, he is the first fierce general of the Ming Dynasty, and he has been injured countless times in his life, and he has survived. However, the arrow was not a critical part that day, and the imperial doctor of the army only treated the wound at that time and did not warn him, but when the march reached Liuhechuan at night, it suddenly failed, and the medicine stone was ineffective. This qiē was so sudden that I suspect someone did something about it. ”

Yao Miaoyi shook her head slowly, "You overestimate the doctor's ability. I worked as a military doctor in the field for two years, and more people died at my hands than I saved. Many people are like King Kaiping, who seemed to be slightly injured at first, but then they went like that. Even I wasn't sure what caused my death. ”

"Some people are fine on the surface, but in fact, there is blood in the skull or internal organs, or the arrow has been quenched with some unknown poison, which is difficult to detect at the time, and then the gods are difficult to save. The commander of the first army is to keep the whole corpse, and it is impossible for the imperial doctor to dissect the body of King Kaiping to find the exact cause of death - even I, the Yao butcher, dare not aim the blade at King Kaiping. ”

Yao Miaoyi patted Wang Ning on the shoulder, "Wang Ning, I know that King Kaiping has the grace of knowing you, but no matter how many legends he has had before, he is a human being after all, not a god." And people will eventually die. You don't have to feel guilty, and you don't have to blame yourself. You live well, make contributions in the future, and avenge King Kaiping, so that you can repay his kindness. ”

Wang Ning seemed to be drained of strength by this sentence, and sat down on the chair, a big man whining and crying like a child.

Yao Miaoyi empathized with Wang Ning's pain at the moment, because her mother was assassinated back then, Yao Miaoyi also blamed herself for a while, and felt that she was responsible for the tragedy because she led the death of her mother. In fact, whether it is Wang Ning or himself, he is just an insignificant little person in the whole incident, and he is powerless to prevent the tragedy from happening.

She somewhat understood where Wang Ning's anger came from, in addition to the tempering of blood and fire on the battlefield, that kind of self-blame and guilt were sometimes more painful than torture. Torture makes people harbor an inexplicable resentment towards themselves and the world at large. Hate why it is not himself who dies, hate God for injustice.

And the people who suffer from this kind of torture are often people with good natures and consciences, such as Wang Ning.

People rise and fall in the world, and if they want to be like a normal person, they must cover up this resentment, and over time, the hatred buried in their hearts will turn into anger. The anger released at a certain time is unbelievable even to oneself.

Yao Miaoyi took a small tweezer and pulled out the wooden thorns that had been pierced into the back of Wang Ning's hand one by one, applied medicine, and wrapped them in clean gauze. At this time, Wang Ning had already quieted down, looked at the broken wood on the ground, and said in a daze:

"I'm sorry, I'm not...... I don't know what's wrong with me. In the dead of night, I often wonder, why wasn't I the one who died? If only I had done something at that time to protect King Kaiping from this catastrophe; Or wonder if King Kaiping was poisoned and murdered, pretending to die of death, after hearing about the mysterious death of the female official Xingniang yesterday, this idea became stronger and stronger......"

"Miaoyi, maybe you're right, being in a high position doesn't necessarily bring more happiness to people, I'm now a fourth-grade military attaché, studying in the main hall, and the people who come and go are all powerful, but now I think about it, the poor boy in Suzhou City back then was my most lively time."

"Miaoyi, it's not just me, even Hu Shanwei has changed, even you seem to be ......" Wang Ning looked at Yao Miaoyi, "I didn't expect that as soon as Suzhou City was parted, the three of us would meet again, and we would no longer be our original selves." ”

Yao Miaoyi was also a little stunned when she heard this: Yes, who am I? The eldest lady of the Xu family, the adopted daughter of the Yao family, and the secret party of Mingjiao, I have a triple identity, which one is the real me? Yao Miaoyi is actually in a confused period of life like Wang Ning, but Yao Miaoyi has a plan for revenge and knows what she wants most.

Wang Ning frowned, stroked his forehead and said: "I always felt that when people go to a high place, they should live more and more transparently. But when I really climbed up, I felt that I couldn't see through it more and more. ”

Yao Miaoyi is the opposite of Wang Ning, she has seen through too many things, and her heart is like water, but she has learned to look down on the world like her father-in-law Daoyan Zen Master.

So she didn't answer, tied the gauze in a knot, and advised: "Don't hurt or see water these days, change the medicine every night, and it will get better soon, fortunately, it is the left hand that is injured, so it will not delay your writing." ”

"It's just a coincidence that the female official Xingniang was wronged after her death. Whatever the cause of Kaiping's death, he was gone. Now that the situation in the harem of the government and the opposition is complicated, if you reveal the slightest suspicion outside, you will not only bring disaster to yourself, but also affect the Kaiping Palace. ”

Besides, King Kaiping has been buried for a long time, and his body has been corrupted, and the broken dragon stone in the tomb is put down, who can go in again for an autopsy?

Wang Ning had a look of gratitude on his face and said, "I dare to show my heart to you and Hu Shanwei, don't worry." Thank you for your enlightenment today, I try not to think about it anymore. ”

Yao Miaoyi quickly wrote a reply letter to Wang Ning, asking him to go to the palace to study in the main hall, and handed it to Hu Shanwei. Li Taoniang asked her about her life experience, which was really disturbing, and she had to entrust Hu Shanwei to pay attention to it in the palace.

After Wang Ning left, the little servant of the boss of Yuerong Lou, a fellow villager, sent a letter, saying that his tailor would go to the house of Zhou Shilang of the Ministry of Rites tomorrow to cut clothes, and asked her if she still wanted to follow her into Zhou's mansion to see the world.

Zhou Shilang is Xu Da's former staff member Zhou Kui, the mastermind behind the assassination of his mother, Yao Miaoyi has been looking for opportunities to get close to Zhou's mansion.

Originally, he was going to enter the Zhou Mansion last month, but King Kaiping died, and the state funeral was held with the gift of the prince, and the people had to mourn for nearly a month, and even the bright clothes and silk satin were not allowed to be worn, so the new clothes prepared by the Zhou Mansion for autumn and winter were also postponed for a month.

How could Yao Miaoyi, who seemed to be getting closer and closer to the truth, let go of this opportunity.

Yao Miaoyi pretended to be an embroidery girl, followed the seamstresses of Yueronglou into the Zhou Mansion, secretly noted down the terrain, and secretly stole a set of maid clothes and imitated a set of keys.

The next day, it happened that Zhu Hu left the palace and came to Baihetang as a consultation. Yao Miaoyi was the shopkeeper, and she disappeared early in the morning, and it is said that she went to Jiming Temple to eat vegetarian food.

Zhu Hu became a doctor for the first time, and he was quite excited and uneasy. However, Baihetang's business was bleak, and until noon, only two customers came to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and none of them saw a doctor.

Zhu Hu sat and waited with the medical book in his arms, and even ate not sweet lunch, drank tea after the meal, and muttered: "I finally understand the mentality of the coffin shop owner who wants people to die." ”

Song Xiuer has a good impression of Zhu Hu, a gentle and polite young man, the girl Huaichun, she is a little shy, but she wants to see Zhu Hu from time to time, so she simply stands behind the counter, pretending to play with the abacus and taking accounts, but she is actually peeking at Zhu Hu.

Hearing Zhu Hu's whispered complaints, Song Xiu'er comforted: "Doctor Zhu, don't be in a hurry, my young lady said to take your time, no matter what the business is, the salary will be paid on time." ”

In order to conform to the current doctor's identity, Zhu Lu is wearing the cheapest green sermon robe in a street clothing store, the net towel on his head is also deliberately worn half-wrecked, and the cloth shoes under his feet have patches, which looks shabby and looks like he is short of money, no wonder Song Xiuer said this.

Zhu Hu was a little embarrassed, and smiled awkwardly: "Actually, I ...... There is no merit, Boss Yao pays his salary on time, but I don't contribute much, so I deserve it. ”

Zhu Hu explained like this, and Song Xiuer felt that he was a good person even more. At this time, two young women came into the pharmacy, saying that they wanted to see a doctor, Zhu Hu hurriedly put down the tea bowl and sat behind the bookcase.

"How is it a man?" The woman was a little surprised, "Didn't you say that Baihetang was a female doctor?" ”

Song Xiu'er said: "Doctor Yao is out now, and this Dr. Zhu's medical skills are not bad." "In the past, the patient saw that the young lady was a female doctor, turned his head and left; Unexpectedly, today there was a patient who was looking for a female doctor.

was disgusted with gender, Zhu Hu coughed and straightened his waist to show his sense of zài.

"This ...... When will Dr. Yao come back? The woman hesitated, but the girl wearing a hat next to her couldn't support it, her body was weak, she was shaky, and she almost fell to the ground, Song Xiuer hurriedly ran out to help the woman help the girl to the chair and sit down.

The hat on the girl's head was crooked, smashed to the blue brick ground, and the bones were rolling, just rolling on the edge of Zhu Hu's patched cloth shoes, Zhu Hu bent down to pick up the hat, handed it over and took a look, and suddenly his figure was slightly sluggish: There are such beautiful women among the people!

The girl had fainted, her face was as pale as paper, and the cold sweat on her forehead soaked her sideburns, but despite this, she did not look wolf, but was as weak as a delicate flower in the morning dew, which made people feel pity for the fragrance and cherish the jade.

Song Xiu'er saw Zhu Hu's stupid appearance, as if she was splashed with a basin of cold water on her head, her heart was cold, the cold water turned into sour water in a blink of an eye, and she spoke to Zhu Hu angrily for the first time:

"What are you doing? Let's take a look at what's wrong with this girl! ”

"Oh!" Zhu Hu came back to his senses, put the hat on the bookcase, checked the girl's pulse, checked the pupils and tongue, and the woman who was supporting her wanted to stop it, but seeing that the girl's limbs were gradually cold and in danger, she had to let Zhu Hu treat her.

The pulse was weak, her throat was swollen, and she faintly smelled of blood and medicine, Zhu Hu asked, "Is this girl still injured?" ”

The companion woman looked embarrassed, and finally gritted her teeth, cut a hole in the pants at the girl's thigh, pointed to the affected area of the dressing and said: "We are craftsmen who moved to Nanjing, we are making spices, we were robbed by bandits on the way, and we were separated from our families, and my sister was hit by an arrow in the leg, and I asked the doctor to save my sister." ”

Zhu Hu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he had seen too many injuries when he was studying medicine with Yao Miaoyi in the army, and he was easy to deal with, so he shouldn't be wrong. The dirty blood oozing from the wound was black, and there was a special fishy smell, Zhu Hu asked: "After this girl was injured, did she often have nausea and vomiting, difficulty breathing, and abdominal pain?" ”

As soon as she heard this, the woman's suspicious eyes finally began to fade, and she secretly thought that this young doctor's medical skills should be trustworthy, so she nodded hurriedly and said, "That's right." ”

Zhu Hu said: "The arrow wound is not the vital point, but the poison of the aconitum is quenched on the arrow." The most important thing now is detoxification. Xiu'er, hurry up and use two coins of licorice, one penny of soil poria, and one penny of mung beans to boil them into a decoction and pour them into this girl. ”
