Chapter 6: The Queen's Heart

Fang Ling said with a smile: "It is said that the price of Renxintang is the fairest, this is really the case, I hope to cooperate with the shopkeeper in the future." ”

The shopkeeper Hu put on a smile and said: "Sincerity and fairness are the motto given by our old shopkeeper, and it goes without saying that the head office has never done anything to deceive customers." ”

Fang Ling nodded, and was not in a hurry to leave, but talked with Shopkeeper Hu for a while, and asked about the prices of some other medicinal materials, Shopkeeper Hu naturally had to answer all questions, as for the money from selling medicinal materials, in addition to most of the silver tickets, a small part was exchanged for silver. From the conversation, he also learned that the fat shopkeeper was called Hu Dahai.

When he came out of the Renxin Hall branch, it was past noon, and Fang Ling returned to a remote alley near the south gate.

He took out the eunuch palace clothes hidden here, and was about to change them on, but the dagger accidentally fell from his waist and fell not far away.

When Fang Ling was about to pick it up, he found that the little white dog who had fed the buns in the morning was still following him, and at this time it was wagging its tail vigorously, with a very cute expression.

Fang Ling couldn't help laughing, this little guy really knew how to recognize the master, so he fed it half a bun, and estimated that he followed him all morning.

He squatted down and hooked his finger at the little white dog, and the little white dog ran over happily, but its right leg was obviously a little lame when it ran.

Fang Ling picked it up, stretched out his hand to check its right foot, and found that there was a small cut on the sole of the foot that had been cut by a sharp object, and the blood stains on it had already coagulated.

Just as Fang Ling was holding the paw of the little white dog with his right hand, a warm feeling rose from the palm of his hand, and the strange lines on his palm began to slowly rotate.

At this time, the lines on the dagger in the sunlight also began to rotate, and an invisible solar fire was transmitted from the dagger and drilled into the palm of the hand.

As the fire intensified, the lines on the palms began to float, and then drilled into the dog's feet like threads.

Fang Ling was surprised, but he soon knew what was happening, although his eyes could not see the lines that had penetrated into the dog's paws, but he clearly felt that those lines were swirling on the wound, as if invisible needles and threads were beginning to stitch up the wound.

The sun fire absorbed by the dagger continued to pass into Fang Ling's palm, and the puppy seemed to feel a comfortable feeling from the wound, and actually squinted his eyes to enjoy it.

I don't know how long it took, but the wounds on the dog's paws miraculously closed together.

Fang Ling sat on the ground as if he had fought a big battle, panting heavily, the light on the dagger gradually lost, and the sun fire energy returned to his palm along the lines, and entered deeper into his body along the meridians.

The little white dog fell to the ground, and seemed to be surprised that the wound was not painful, and spun around happily, sticking out his tongue and licking Fang Ling's palm.

Fang Ling smiled reluctantly, but his heart stayed in the shock just now, this immortal technique can not only fuse medicinal materials, but also heal wounds? What kind of weird immortal technique is this, and what is the origin of this dagger.

Fang Ling originally only wanted to use this immortal technique to make money, but he didn't expect that the immortal technique also had the ability to heal, or rather, it was also a fusion ability, but this aroused his great interest in the dagger, and he really wanted to know why this dagger appeared in the cabinet of the medicinal herb storehouse.

Fang Ling rested in the alley for a while, and then regained some strength, he changed into palace clothes, and when he saw that the little white dog was actually going to follow him again, he hurriedly squatted down and said: "Little dog, little dog, the palace is not a place for you to go, you just wait for me here, okay?"

The little white dog couldn't understand human words, and licked Fang Ling's shoes with his farts and dedication.

Fang Ling smiled bitterly, only to buy another bun on the street, throw it into the alley, and wait until the puppy pounced on the bun, then turned around and left quickly.

There were Dong Canghai's guards watching at the south gate, and Fang Ling showed his waist card, so they let them go as a matter of course without any inspection. However, the three levels and six cards in the palace are indeed very strict, fortunately, Fang Ling has a six-grade waist card in his hand, and the guards are also very accommodating, and there is no danger along the way.

When he was about to arrive at Binghua Palace, Fang Ling took off his palace clothes, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and when he came to the gate, he saw Xiao Wuzi coming from a distance with a lunch box.

This little Wuzi is only in his 20s, one of the many ungraded little eunuchs in the Internal Affairs Office, two years ago he began to deliver food to Fang Ling's mother and son, although he was given five taels of silver every month, but this eunuch often did not deliver food on time.

Seeing Fang Ling standing at the door, Xiao Wuzi quickened his pace a little, came to the palace gate, put down the lunch box, raised his face and smiled, and said while saluting: "His Royal Highness Lao has been waiting for a long time, and the minion is too busy with things, so he didn't take a break for a while." ”

Fang Ling didn't bother with him, but just remembered the matter of the dagger, so he asked casually, "Xiao Wuzi, what are you doing in the palace?"

Xiao Wuzi raised his fingers and said, "I have done a lot of things, the imperial dining room, the laundry room, the Tai Hospital, ......."

"What are you doing in the Tai Hospital?" Fang Ling interrupted him and asked.

"Just give those envoys a hand and help Imperial Doctor Lin clean up the warehouse and so on. Xiao Wuzi replied a little impatiently.

Fang Ling's heart moved, he took out a silver ticket of ten taels from his arms and shook it, and said lightly: "From this month onwards, how about the silver given to you every month rises to ten taels?"

Xiao Wuzi's eyes suddenly lit up, a eunuch with no official position, a month's food silver is only two taels of silver, mainly relying on rewards, 10 taels of silver a month, which is double the previous 5 taels.

Seeing that the eldest prince, who had always been down-and-out, was suddenly so arrogant, Xiao Wuzi's impatient mood was swept away, and his face suddenly bloomed, and he said respectfully: "Your Highness, Xiao Wuzi will do his best to serve you and Concubine Su well." ”

Fang Ling was not in a hurry to give him the silver ticket, and continued to ask, "Do you know where the cabinet of the medicinal herb warehouse came from?"

"Cabinet?" Xiao Wuzi was stunned, scratched his head, and said, "It should be made by a carpenter, right?"

Fang Ling said again: "Then if it is moved from other places, will there be a record?"

Xiao Wuzi smiled and said: "I understand what His Highness means, not to mention the medicinal herb warehouse, as long as the items in the Tai Hospital, there will be records in the warehouse, but those records are locked in the cabinet by Imperial Doctor Lin who guards the warehouse, this old man is very stubborn." ”

Listening to Xiao Wuzi's deliberately long voice, Fang Ling smiled slightly, folded the silver ticket, and threw it into his hand.

Xiao Wuzi hurriedly bowed his head and replied: "This Imperial Doctor Lin was originally named Lin Mowen, and he was originally a official in the Imperial Hospital, but he was demoted to the treasury because he drank and made a mistake. But this old man's good wine has not changed, as long as the wine worm is in his head, but he doesn't care about anything, I have seen him drink quietly on duty several times. ”

Xiao Wuzi is really a character who sees Qian's eyes, and as soon as Yinzi handed over everything, he shook it out, Fang Ling nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'm going to go to the warehouse tonight to look through those records, do you know what to do?"

Xiao Wuzi smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, there is a lot of leftover wine in the imperial dining room, I will make a small pot for the old man to ensure that he sleeps until dawn." ”

Fang Ling looked at Xiao Wuzi with a charming smile on his face, thinking that this guy might not do this kind of thing less, maybe one day he will be able to shake out the things he instructed him, so he said: "If you do things for me in the future, I will not treat you badly, these ten taels of silver should be regarded as a reward for you to do things, and I will give you ten taels of silver later every month." ”

Hearing that he could get 20 taels a month, Xiao Wuzi's eyes were a little spent, he nodded straight, and said with a loyal heart: "Your Royal Highness, Xiao Wuzi is willing to go to the soup and fire, and it will not be too late." Starting tomorrow, no, starting this evening, the minions promise to deliver food on time every day. ”

Fang Ling nodded and said, "Very good, there will be something to tell you in the future, as long as you do well, the silver will be indispensable to you." But ......"

Hearing Fang Ling's voice lowered, Xiao Wuzi said knowingly: "The little one understands, and the little one promises not to say it." Your Highness, don't worry, although the small one is greedy for money, he still has a sense of proportion, and the small one will never do anything to betray His Highness. ”

"Well, I'll be waiting for your news in the evening. Fang Ling nodded, although Xiao Wuzi's words could not be trusted, but for a eunuch with no grade, 20 taels of silver a month could feed him to his full, and if he added some benefits, it would be the same as that little white dog.

Entering the palace, Fang Ling heated up the food, and when he came to the courtyard in front of the wing, his mother Su Shi also pushed open the door and walked out.

It seemed that because of the medicine last night, Su's complexion was much better, and when he saw Fang Ling coming over with a lunch box, he sighed softly: "Ling'er, I have wronged you." ”

"Queen Mother, it's okay. Fang Ling smiled, put the food on the stone table in the courtyard, picked up the chopsticks and handed them to his mother.

Although these dishes were all cooked with high-quality ingredients and tasted delicious, Fang Ling felt that they were tasteless, and he asked intentionally or unintentionally, "Queen Mother, do you want to leave the palace?"

"Out of the palace?" Su Shi was stunned for a moment, looked at his son sensitively and said, "Do you want to leave the palace?"

"No, I'm just asking. Fang Ling hurriedly shook his head, he knew his mother's character very well, if she knew that she was out of the palace, I was afraid that she would be very worried.

Su Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and while taking a bite of side dishes to eat, he sighed lightly and said: "I really want to leave the palace, but this palace gate is as deep as the sea, it is difficult to get in, and it is even more difficult to get out." ”

"Then if we leave the palace, where do you want to go?" Fang Ling said curiously.

Su Shi showed a rare smile and said, "Of course, I went to the Acropolis." ”

"Acropolis?" Fang Lingqi said.

Su Shi said: "The Acropolis is my hometown, far away in the eastern part of the Chu State. Speaking of this, her expression darkened slightly, "Since I was beaten into the cold palace, I don't know what happened to my father and mother and my family, I have also asked Dong Guards to check over the years, but there is no news from them." ”

"The queen mother can rest assured, grandpa and their auspicious people have their own celestial phenomena, and there will be no problems. Fang Ling hurriedly said, and then diverted the topic, but he deeply remembered the place of the Acropolis in his heart.
