But said that Cui Xiaohou Ye with a heavy heart first went to find King Cheng, His Royal Highness King Cheng told him that there is indeed a Tianshan Snow Lotus in the palace, but unfortunately there are only three, it is five years ago from the Nanyue Kingdom thousands of miles to pay tribute, it is said that this flower blooms on the top of the highest peak of the Tianshan Mountains Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, a hundred years of germination, a hundred years of flowering, extremely precious, Nanyue Kingdom got a total of three, all tribute to the Great Zhou Kingdom. The Emperor www.biquge.info put these three flowers in the inner treasury and regarded them as treasures.

Cui Shuyan saw King Cheng say this, his heart was bitter, the palace is inside, the emperor cherishes things, how can he easily get it? He was so disheartened that he only felt that his legs were weak, and he fell to his knees, and King Cheng was quick and helped him up: "Shuyan, is that woman really so important to you?" ”

Cui Shuyan said: "Yes." ”

King Cheng sighed: "A woman, why care, a manly husband, should take it as her responsibility to make meritorious contributions and expand the territory, don't let the children's private affairs lose their minds and ruin their future." ”

Cui Shuyan raised his head violently and said, "No, Your Highness, if a man can't even protect the woman he loves, what shame is there to talk about serving the country." Besides, Yuning, she saved my life and gave birth to a child for me, as long as there is a glimmer of life, I will try. Cui Shuyan got up and walked out, and King Ercheng stopped him and asked, "Have you thought about it?" It is really unwise for you to alarm the emperor at this time, besides, you are the son of a little marquis, and his father will not give you the snow lotus. ”

Cui Shuyan was silent, and said half-loudly: "I'll try it." Still stubbornly walked out of King Cheng's mansion.

Chengwang Murong An stood in place and didn't move, staring at Cui Shuyan all the time, he really couldn't figure it out, just for a woman, the dignified Marquis of Anxin Mansion was so unwise. Don't say it's a small concubine, even if it's a wife, for the sake of the great cause she wants, she can give it up when necessary.

Standing in the center of power, His Royal Highness King Cheng will certainly not understand what is the true love in the world, in his opinion, men are women's heaven, and marrying the princess and concubines are all means used to marry powerful families with important ministers in the court. His princess married the daughter of Xu Guogong, the Xu family is knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous, and after entering the house, he took the initiative to ask for Shangyang Lin's daughter and Lizhou Yang's daughter, and hired him as a side concubine. In this way, His Royal Highness King Cheng immediately strengthened a lot of strength that could support him.

Of course, regardless of whether His Royal Highness King Cheng thinks clearly or not, he now knows very well in his mind that the Anxin Marquis Mansion cannot be given up by himself no matter what. Not to mention that he has spent more than ten years of painstaking cultivation to win over Cui Shuyan, the little marquis of Anxin Houfu, the strength and hard work spent, the two have also had some feelings for many years, Cui Shuyan can be said to be loyal to himself, excellent work ability, is a rare talent. Although Anxinhou has not been on the battlefield for a long time, there are many old subordinates and personal soldiers in each military camp, and it can be said that he has a certain influence in the army of the Great Zhou State. Such a backbone, all forces are courting and wooing, he is now insisting on saving his concubine, if his Royal Highness King Cheng does not take the opportunity to help him to show his kindness, I am afraid that the King of Thailand and King Xin will not sit idly by at that time.

That night, a person came outside the palace and asked to see the emperor, and the eunuchs and defenders guarding the palace gate of course knew this Cui Xiaohou of Anxin's mansion, and immediately went to report to the emperor, and the emperor sent his personal eunuch Wang Yu to inquire, Wang Yu came back and reported: "Back to the emperor, Cui Xiaohou of Anxin's mansion asked the emperor for medicine." ”

The emperor said, "What medicine does he want?" Who is it for? Go ahead! ”

The great eunuch Wang Yu said: "Back to the emperor, the little marquis said to ask the emperor to give him a Tianshan Snow Lotus, so that he could use it to save a person." ”

The emperor said curiously: "What person? I actually want to use Tianshan Snow Lotus! ”

Wang Yu covered his mouth and giggled: "Your Majesty, the slave heard that it is a woman, it seems to be the aunt of Cui Xiaohou who has just entered the mansion, I heard that she is very favored by Xiaohou Ye!" ”

The emperor was a little displeased when he heard this: "How can a concubine also use the holy medicine of Tianshan Snow Lotus?" Could it be that Cui Shuyan is crazy! Hmph, let him go back, Huangkou Xiaoer, it's ridiculous. ”

Wang Yu saw that the emperor's face was thin and angry, and he didn't dare to say good things for Cui Shuyan, so he hurriedly retreated.

When he came to the gate of the palace, Cui Shuyan saw the great eunuch Wang Yu coming from afar, hurriedly stepped forward, and asked, "Father-in-law, is the emperor allowed?" ”

Wang Yu pulled Cui Shuyan to the side and went down to the corner, avoiding the eyes of the guards at the palace gate, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and stuffed them into Cui Shuyan's hand, and said: "Little Marquis, it's not that the miscellaneous family doesn't help you, it's true that the emperor is a little displeased, and the head on the slave's neck has to be kept for eating, but I don't dare to say anything more!" The prince reluctantly glanced at the silver ticket and said, "You better go back quickly, the emperor said that you should go back." I won't pursue this matter. ”

Cui Shuyan was reluctant to leave, pulled the hand of the prince, returned the silver ticket to him, and said: "The prince is the first proud person in front of the emperor, and the emperor trusts you the most, so help Shuyan, Shuyan will be grateful in the future." ”

The prince was anxious: "Hi! Little Marquis, aren't you embarrassed to be an old slave? The emperor is already angry, and the old slave doesn't dare to report it to you again. Little Marquis, please go back! The old slave is going back to his life. "Wang Yu is an old fox, slippery and slippery, three or two sentences shirked Cui Shuyan and hurried to the inner palace, Cui Shuyan did not give up, he wanted to go up and stop him, but where could he stop it, but the guards guarding the palace gate had already stopped him outside the palace gate under the signal of the prince.

No, Cui Shuyan was in a hurry at the gate of the palace, scratching his ears and cheeks and couldn't think of a way, after a while, a guard in the house came, saying that it was getting dark, and the old marquis asked the little marquis to go back to eat. Cui Shuyan ignored it and sent the man back, but he still stayed outside the red wall gate of the palace.

Seeing that it was getting late, and the snow lotus of Tianshan Mountain had not yet landed, Cui Shuyan was extremely disappointed, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth, lift up his robe and kneel straight outside the palace gate, and mentioned his dantian true qi and said loudly: "Weichen Cui Shuyan asks to see my emperor, long live my emperor!" "Shouting and shouting.

After a while, probably alarmed the emperor, the great eunuch Wang Yu came out again, this time he didn't have a smile on his face, and when he came up, he asked the palace guards behind him to take down Cui Shuyan, swept the dust in his hand, rolled his eyes, and said in his sharp voice: "The Holy Lord's message, Cui Shuyan, the prince of the Anxin Marquis Mansion, does not listen to the Holy Religion, makes noise in the court, and thinks about it for a month when he returns to the mansion, and he is not allowed to leave the house, Qin this!" After reciting the holy edict, the prince swept away the dust again, and said to Cui Shuyan, who was captured by the guards and kneeling on the ground: "Little Marquis, take the order, Little Marquis!" ”

Cui Shuyan knelt on the ground and listened to the emperor's dictation, but he had no choice but to accept the order: "The criminal minister Cui Shuyan received the order, thank you Lord Longen, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Seeing his dejected appearance, the prince sighed and said, "Little Marquis, why do you bother, it's really not worth it for a woman." You'd better go back obediently today, Concubine De just had a sudden attack, and the emperor is upset! Don't anger Long Yan anymore, when Long Yan is angry, it's not something you and I can afford. ”

Subsequently, Cui Shuyan was rushed back to the Anxin Marquis Mansion by several internal guards.

Anxin Hou Cui Zhongyi received the palace guards in fear, saying that he wanted to leave people for tea, but they shook their heads and left.

After sending the palace guards away, when he turned around and saw his son's uncompetitive appearance, the old marquis asked Cui Shuyan angrily: "Yan'er, the good things you have done, for the sake of a woman, are you going to break the sky?" ”

Cui Shu was speechless. The old marquis was so angry that he came up with the family law, that is, a rattan as thick as a barbed arm, and whipped him a hundred times. But Cui Shuyan knelt straight and straight there, beaten and bruised all over his body, and he didn't beg his father for mercy, admit his mistakes, and gnaw in pain. This can completely anger the old Hou Ye, and he has to fight again, but fortunately, Mrs. Hou Ye rushed to hear the news and desperately stopped her, and saw that her son was full of bloody scars, and cried to the old Hou Ye with tears on the spot: "Hou Ye, how can you beat Yan'er like this, you are about to kill her!" ”

The old marquis was angry: "Hmph! This unfilial son, who can't be angry, actually went to kneel outside the palace gate for a woman, begging the emperor for medicine, it was a shame on my old face, should I go to the court in the future? ”

Mrs. Hou Ye was also angry: "Then you can't beat him like this!" Mama Xu, quick, take the sign of the Hou Mansion and go to the palace to invite Imperial Doctor Hong. ”

"Humph!" The old marquis flicked his sleeves, his face full of anger, but after all, he didn't say anything. After staying for a while, I heard my wife crying irritably, and I felt very depressed in my heart, so I strode to the study, trying to be quiet, and calm my mind by the way.

Mrs. Hou Ye carefully inspected her son's injury, and cried so much that she was really heartbroken, but Cui Shuyan, who was injured, saw that his mother was crying really sadly, and couldn't help but persuade: "Mother, the child is not in pain, don't cry." ”

Mrs. Hou wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "You stupid boy, your father beat you, why don't you run, look at what you have been beaten!" As he spoke, there was another burst of heartache and tears.

Cui Shuyan: "It really doesn't hurt, mother, don't cry." ”

Mrs. Hou slapped him on the back, Cui Shuyan immediately breathed a sigh of pain, felt a little cold between his teeth, and his back was hot, so he had to endure it, and his face saw two eyes widen a lot.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Hou said angrily: "My son, are you really so concerned about that woman?" What is so good about her that it deserves you? “

Cui Shuyan smiled bitterly: "Mother! Can you heal my injuries first? If Imperial Doctor Hong comes, if he doesn't come again, my blood will drain. ”

Mrs. Hou Ye was really anxious when she heard this, and ordered Meilian, who was accompanying her, to go to the second gate to see Mama Xu and ask Imperial Doctor Hong, whether anyone invited her.

After waiting for a long time, he finally came, but it was not Imperial Doctor Hong, it was a doctor surnamed Lin, who said that he was the apprentice of Imperial Doctor Hong, he asked Mrs. Hou Ye to say goodbye, and said: "The family teacher happened to be on duty in the Tai Hospital today, and he didn't want to have a sudden serious illness in the palace. I hope that Mrs. Hou is not strange! After Dr. Lin finished speaking, he didn't immediately start to help Cui Shuyan treat, but just stood aside, smiling and looking at everyone, looking very polite!

Mama Xu also said to Mrs. Hou Ye at this time: "Madam, when the old slave went, Imperial Doctor Hong was not there, and the old slave thought to himself, the little Hou Ye was seriously injured, and I am afraid that he could not delay, so he invited this Lin doctor." ”

What else can Madame say at this time, she can't say, that's not good, I'll just ask Imperial Doctor Hong, and then drive people away, what about my son's injury? So, she had no choice but to say, "Then, there is Dr. Laurin." Mrs. Hou said as she let go of her son and retreated aside, and the Lin doctor stepped forward to clean up Cui Shuyan.

Cui Shuyan suffered a skin injury, and although the old marquis was angry, he also grasped the measure in his hands, and did not hurt the muscles and bones and internal organs on his body, most of the wounds were pulled out by those thorns on the rattan, it looked like the skin and flesh were torn, and the blood was drumming, which was a little scary. After Dr. Lin disinfected him to stop bleeding, applied medicine, and bandaged the wound, Cui Shuyan was fine again, except for two blood scars on his face that had not yet dried, and he basically couldn't see anything when he put on clothes and covered the wounds.

After Doctor Lin sorted out and bandaged Cui Shuyan, Mrs. Hou immediately instructed Mama Xu to wrap a generous consultation fee, and Doctor Lin did not shirk it, accepted it directly, and left.

Mrs. Hou ordered the kitchen to make light side dishes and gruel, and personally watched her son eat it, rested, and then took Mama Xu back to her Yonghe Courtyard with confidence.
