Thousands of miles away in the capital, the city is bustling, large and small restaurants, tea shops are full of people, workers, farmers, scholars, and businessmen regardless of rank sit together, or discuss current affairs, or discuss business, or discuss the sheng song in the Oiran building the night before.

And in the imperial city not far from this lively center, the emperor was sitting in front of the hall, his eyes swept over the ministers kneeling on the ground, it had been a long time, and he didn't mean to let them get up, looking at the eunuchs on the side The foreheads began to burst out of beads of sweat.

The main hall was quiet only the chirping of unknown birds on the eaves, and the old emperor's gloomy eyes looked at the ministers lying on the ground below, what he wanted was not who was the most loyal, who had different intentions, what he wanted was the mutual restraint of the two forces.

"Get up!" Under the emperor's order, the ministers stood up from the ground in an uproar, and a few old ministers couldn't stand up at all if they hadn't been helped by others because they had been kneeling for too long.

"Where's the prime minister?" The emperor suddenly discovered that the prime minister, who had always been dazzling, was not standing below today.

"Back to the emperor, the prime minister is sick." The eunuchs who were waiting on the side were resigned, lest the emperor's anger affect him, the fish in the pond.

"Sick?" The emperor's eyes flashed with a hint of unhappiness, "The prime minister's recent illness is too diligent, and he has been sick at the end of three days, should I also go to the prime minister's mansion to visit the prime minister?" ”

As soon as the emperor's words came out, the group of prime ministers' comrades standing below were all frightened into a cold sweat. If the emperor goes to the prime minister's mansion and can't see the prime minister, how can this be good. What's more, the border and the capital are thousands of miles away, even if you rush to report to the prime minister for 800 miles, it will be too late!

"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable, your daughter's body ......" Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the emperor, "The prime minister is the humerus of the country, and it is reasonable for me to go and see it." ”

"But ......"

"Don't be," the emperor glared at the Ministry of Works' book in displeasure, "The Ministry of Rites will see what to prepare, I can't go empty-handed!" ”

"Obey".

"It seems that Zhongqing has nothing to do today, so let's disperse early!" The emperor waved his hand, stood up from the dragon chair, and left the hall under the sound of everyone "sending off the emperor".

Officials also dispersed from the main hall, and several of the prime minister's henchmen gathered around to discuss how to deal with the emperor's visit. But ignoring that their actions had already fallen into the eyes of the emperor, in an inconspicuous corner in the distance, a strange smile appeared on the emperor's wrinkled face, and the eunuchs on the side broke out in a cold sweat.

"Is General Shi back?"

"Back to the emperor, I am already waiting for the emperor in the side hall."

The emperor walked into the side hall unhurriedly, and Shi Wenzhong, who was waiting, was about to make a big salute when he saw the emperor, but was stopped by the emperor, "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need for this." ”

"Your Majesty, there should still be etiquette." Shi Wenzhong was a little frightened, he couldn't be more clear about the emperor's personality, a little bit of trouble was caught by the emperor, not to mention that he couldn't eat and walked around, and he would even fall into the crime of raiding his house and destroying his door.

"Eh, I said it."

Of course, Shi Wenzhong did not dare to disobey the emperor's will, and stood there in fear, waiting for the emperor's questioning.

"Let's all get out!" The emperor swept away a dry of palace maids and eunuchs, and only he and Shi Wenzhong were left in the huge side hall.

"Back to the emperor, the prime minister and King Yong have met."

"Is the information reliable?"

"Back to the emperor, this person was placed in King Yong's mansion a long time ago, and he should be reliable."

"That's the best, I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight and see what other excuses he has."

In the evening, the emperor went to the prime minister's mansion, Fan Tianling was half lying on the bed, struggling to get out of bed and salute weakly, although the emperor was shocked, but he was still used to seeing big scenes, and he still avoided Fan Tianling's kneeling lightly.

After talking for a while, the emperor returned to the palace under the pretext of not disturbing Fan Tianling's rest.

In a side hall of the imperial palace, Shi Wen knelt on the ground in fear, bowed his head, and only heard the emperor's occasional tea. With the passage of time, Shi Wenzhong's heart has reached the bottom, it seems that he will inevitably die, and what he is most afraid of is that his family, clansmen, and even his ancestors will not be able to die.

"Get up, and come with me to drink this new tribute tea."

Shi Wenzhong stood up from the ground in confusion, and saw that the emperor was not displeased, the emperor seemed to see through his thoughts, and said, "Do you think that person in the Prime Minister's Mansion is really Fan Tianling?" ”

"Not Prime Minister Fan?"

"Although people are almost exactly the same, even the tone and actions of their speech are the same, but what is fake is fake, and he can't be real." The emperor smiled and poured Shi Wenzhong a cup of tea, "Taste it, how does it taste." ”

Shi Wenzhong's hand was a little trembling and took the tea bowl on the table, and when he took a bite, he didn't taste anything at all except for the bitter taste. Raised his eyes and looked at the emperor, his mouth opened and opened, and finally he said, "The minister is a rough man, and this tea really can't be tasted good or bad." ”

The emperor didn't pay attention to Shi Wenzhong's words, and added another bowl of tea to his tea bowl, "This tea is really not good, and the people who came to pay tribute to the tea have been killed with a cane." ”

"Bang" Shi Wenzhong knelt down from the stool, "The minister knows his mistake, please ask the emperor to forgive him." ”

"What a crime you have, but the prime minister is cunning and cunning. He has been in officialdom for decades, and you are just a general. You are better than you in a war, but compared to scheming, even I have to guard against him! ”

Shi Wenzhong came out of the side hall, the whole person collapsed, the wet underwear was attached to his body, and his skin tightened with every step, as if the emperor's warning, let him remind himself all the time.

The night is as cold as water, even if it is spring, but the climate at night is still a little cold.

Fu Yanyu had already put on a night suit, covered with a black scarf, and hurried to the back door of King Yong's mansion by night. Standing up neatly, the person was already standing on the low wall, trotting all the way, and came to Su Muzhi's yard with familiarity.

The candle lights in the house were faintly bright, and I faintly saw a figure crowding, and I could vaguely see that it was a colorful cloud in the house. Fu Yanyu simply jumped on the tree in the yard, half leaned on the trunk, and watched the movement in the house.

After a while, I saw the candlelight moving, and after a while, I saw Caiyun walking out of the house with a candlestick. Fu Yanyu didn't rush in, waited for a while, and jumped down from the tree after making sure that everyone in the yard was sleeping peacefully. With this force, it quickly flashed into Su Muzhi's room like a gust of wind.

Fu Yanyu, who was accustomed to the darkness, quickly groped to the side of the bed, Su Muzhi's forehead was still very hot, and the heat did not go down at all, Fu Yanyu's brows couldn't help frowning deeply in the dark, took out the small purple bottle in her arms, and was about to feed medicine to Su Muzhi's mouth, but she couldn't pry open Su Muzhi's clenched teeth.

"Mu Zhi, Mu Zhi, wake up" Fu Yanyu patted Su Muzhi, hoping that she would wake up and drink the medicine in the porcelain bottle. But I don't know if Su Muzhi was burned and confused, except for snorting twice, there was no response. Fu Yanyu was afraid that if she delayed any longer, it would be more dangerous, so she had to take a mouthful of medicine and cross it into Su Muzhi's mouth.

"Hmm" Su Muzhi, who was fed medicine, groaned softly, and then fell asleep again. Fu Yanyu was helpless, helped Su Muzhi to lean on her body, and slowly let the true qi flow in her body from top to bottom behind Su Muzhi's back.

After about a stick of incense, it wasn't until Su Muzhi was sweating profusely that Fu Yanyu stopped and probed her forehead again, which was no longer as hot as just now. At this time, Fu Yanyu relieved her heart, let Su Muzhi lie down on the bed again, and helped her cover the quilt by the way.

"Don't go" When Fu Yanyu got up, she was pulled by Su Muzhi at the corner of her clothes, and she took every precaution, but she forgot that Su Muzhi had been relieved a lot after just now, "Thank you, thank you......" The throat that was dry because of the fever could only make a hoarse voice at the moment, and Fu Yanyu was distressed for a while, no matter what, let go of Su Muzhi's hand and poured a cup of tea from the round table.

Xu was extremely thirsty, and Su Muzhi actually drank all the tea in the teacup in one go.

Fu Yanyu calmed her voice and asked, "Do you want a drink?" ”

Su Muzhi shook her head in her arms and said with a low smile: "It's not that I don't know who you are, why do you have to cover your face?" ”

Fuyanyu listened, her body tightened, and Su Muzhi, who was in her arms, obviously felt this action, and was even more sure that it was Fuyanyu. Then he added, "You must wonder why I know it's you." ”

Fu Yanyu is really curious, but now she doesn't ask, and she doesn't ask either.

When I was entangled, I heard Su Muzhi say: "Because of the faint medicinal fragrance on your body, maybe others can't smell it, but I know it." And when I just said that you are Fuyanyu, your reaction also confirmed my guess even more. ”

Since Su Muzhi said so, Fu Yanyu no longer covered it up, and took off the veil, "I have no choice but to do it." ”

"Am I ......" smart into Su Muzhi, in fact, she had already found out that something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong.

Fu Yanyu didn't want to hide Su Muzhi, "You are poisoned, so you have a fever for no reason." ”

Su Muzhi thought of Fuyanyu, and asked anxiously, "Then ...... you?"

"I'm shallowly poisoned, not like you" Fu Yanyu didn't know whether to say it or not, thought for a while, and said truthfully: "Recently, I will come to treat you, it will take a while for the toxins in your body to be cleared." ”

"Hmm" Su Muzhi didn't ask, just leaned on Fu Yanyu's arms and fell asleep again.
