vs 127 The bet with the emperor
Xu Shuxuan didn't care about Xu Moxuan's shock and surprise at the moment, but locked his brows, and fell into the contemplation of Toyotomi Takiichi, who was deeply impressed by the side of meeting him in the Jinxiang Jade Workshop of the Yan Domain seven years ago, this person has a strange and obedient temperament, exuding a cold murderous aura, but he also has peerless martial arts, and with the power of one person, he can break into the ironclad Jinyi Prison and bring Ah Ling out, and then escape back to Japan by boat under the search of the whole city of Jinyiwei, this person's strength is really not to be underestimated!
He had asked Nan Chu to check some information about this person: the son of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Sekihaku of the Land of the Rising Sun, who had been specially trained by the Toei ninja since he was a child, killed more than a hundred opponents older than him at the age of fourteen, and since then has become the most powerful samurai in the Land of the Sunrise.
This man is extremely conceited and loves to kill and despise life, if one day he leads his troops to attack Dajiao, it is really hard to imagine what kind of tragic picture it will be!
Although Nanjing has maintained peace for seven years under the garrison of Yang Mingyu, the existence of this person will always be a hidden danger, especially now that the emperor suddenly issued an order to send Yang Mingyu back to Beijing for some reason?
Xu Shuxuan always had a bad premonition, feeling that Toyotomi Takiichi would definitely come back to Dajiao, seven years ago, he had been pestering Ah Ling to find that box, although he let Ah Ling go seven years ago, it didn't mean that he would give up looking for that box!
"This person is too terrifying, he must not be allowed to find Ah Ling again!" Xu Shuxuan suddenly muttered in a low voice.
Because his voice was extremely soft, Xu Moxuan didn't hear it clearly, so he asked in surprise, "Big brother, what did you say?" ”
Xu Shuxuan slowly recovered from his frightened tense state, looked at Xu Moxuan and said, "Moxuan, big brother has a very important matter now, and he may need your help to complete it!" ”
Seeing Xu Shuxuan's solemn expression, Xu Moxuan also asked solemnly: "Big brother has something to order, right?" What are you polite to me? ”
Xu Shuxuan pondered for a moment, and suddenly glanced at a moon-shaped door not far away, where a cluster of flower branches was gently swaying, sprinkling pieces of gold dust. The midsummer sun was very bright, illuminating the entire flower-filled courtyard with golden light, and by the moon-shaped door, there was a purple corner of the wind-blown clothes that swept his vision.
Xu Shuxuan couldn't help but chuckle secretly in his heart, he put a hand on Xu Moxuan's shoulder, and said very calmly in a voice that was neither high nor low: "On the day of the Duanyang Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, I want you to go to Tongzhou to find a person near the Grand Canal, you have to take something from this person's hand, this thing is very, very important for us, you must not let it fall into the hands of others!" ”
Speaking of this, he added in a low voice: "If we get such a thing, we can make Lu Bing take the initiative to withdraw from Lu Yanzhao's relationship with Ah Ling!" ”
Although Xu Moxuan couldn't imagine how important the eldest brother was, this last sentence made him feel refreshed.
"What can threaten Lu Bing?" He asked.
Xu Shuxuan patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and only replied: "You'll know when you get it!" ”
Xu Moxuan smiled when he heard this, and after half a sound, he replied categorically as if he had issued a military order: "Okay!" On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, I will make sure that this will be done without fail. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Xu Shuxuan's legs, which were still standing straight, and couldn't help but ask overjoyedly, "Big brother, your feet ...... Did Ah Ling help you get it? ”
After Xu Shuxuan was silent for a while, he replied with a smile: "It's not completely good, I can only barely stand up!" ”
After hearing this sentence, the surprise on Xu Moxuan's face gradually faded, and a sense of regret rose in his heart, when he was very young, he had been looking forward to the day when his eldest brother could stand up like a normal person, and he could accompany him to race horses by the moat, or go to the outskirts of Beijing to hunt, or go to Fulin Yuchun Hall to have a good time, but this expectation has made him wait for many years and has not been realized, and when he grew up, he heard a lot of rumors about talking about the eldest brother, They all said that the eldest brother's disabled legs were a paralyzed person who could never stand up, but he didn't think so, he felt that as long as he found a famous doctor with the ability, the eldest brother's feet would definitely be able to be repaired.
Now I finally see that my eldest brother can stand up, but ......
"It's okay, Mo Xuan, even if these feet can't be completely good, I can still walk, you don't have to be sad for me, go do what you want!" Xu Shuxuan seemed to see through his thoughts, and in turn comforted him.
"Do what I want to do? Big brother knows what I want to do most right now? Xu Moxuan said half-jokingly.
Xu Shuxuan pursed his lips and smiled again.
He pointed to the bell in Xu Moxuan's hand and said, "Your thoughts, I don't understand yet, this Gu bell was given to you by Ah Ling, right?" If she doesn't come out of the palace for a day, how can you rest assured? ”
Xu Moxuan couldn't help but blush.
"Big brother, how do you know that this is Gu Ling, and how do you know that this is given to me by Ah Ling?" He asked.
"I know very well what you have in your hands, besides, this Gu Ling, I have seen it in Ah Ling's medicine box!" Xu Shuxuan replied.
Xu Moxuan's heart suddenly gave birth to a trace of guilt, and when he was about to say something, Xu Shuxuan preemptively cut off and said: "Okay, there is nothing else, you can go about your own business!" Bring more guards with you, and be more careful yourself! ”
Xu Moxuan was so blocked that he had nothing to say, so he had to nod: "Okay, big brother, I'll go out first, if you have anything, send someone to inform me immediately, you have to be more careful!" ”
Xu Shuxuan said hello, and after seeing him walk out of the Tingyu Building, he turned around and came to the door of the study.
At this moment, Nan Chu, who had been hiding on the roof, also jumped down, and after opening the door of the study for Xu Shuxuan, the two quickly entered the study.
As soon as he entered the room, Nan Chu reported directly: "Shizi, sure enough, the second lady is eavesdropping nearby, and there is also Zhuo Ji, a woman who has been wandering in the courtyard, and her behavior is also very suspicious." ”
Xu Shuxuan nodded knowingly.
"When Yan Fan sent Zhuo Ji to me, I knew that this woman's identity must be unusual, but in the past seven years, she has not done anything in this Tingyu Building? It seems that she has also been waiting for an opportunity! ”
"Shizi, it's better to let Nan Chu kill her directly!" Seven years ago, he felt that he should not bring this woman back!
Xu Shuxuan still shook his head and said, "You don't have to kill her, it's still useful to keep her!" ”
Nan Chu was slightly stunned, and soon understood something, and asked rhetorically: "Could it be that what the prince said to the fifth young master just now ......?"
Xu Shuxuan nodded, and Zhengse ordered: "On the day of the Duanyang Festival, Nanchu, you will also go to Tongzhou, and your duty is to mobilize all the secret guards to protect Mo Xuan's safety!" ”
Nan Chu's expression changed when he heard this.
"Mobilize all the Secret Guards? Who will protect your safety? He asked.
Xu Shuxuan looked at him and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, I have my own way to protect my safety!" ”
Nan Chu was naturally not at ease, and wanted to say something, but he listened to his instructions: "Nan Chu, take out my prince's dress!" I'm going to go to the palace right now! ”
"What are you doing in the palace?" Nan Chu's face was full of worry again, so he heard him muttered in a low voice: "Ah Ling's temperament is too strong, I'm afraid that she will anger the emperor!" Besides, the emperor only gave me a holiday, and he didn't really cut my official position. ”
*****
Before Han Ling and King Jing walked to the door of Yaohua Palace, they saw several palace ladies standing under the eaves of the palace trembling from a distance, and two eunuchs were escorting a tall palace maid out of the palace!
Han Ling's eyes were quickly attracted by the palace maid, although the palace maid looked very mediocre, but she would never forget that kind of quiet and lofty temperament, this person was her mother Yang Qiuxuan!
"The emperor said, Concubine Xiangniang made a mistake, all because of your ill-intentioned intentions to be slaves, and instigated the master, since you want to punish Concubine Xiangniang, then it should be more up to you, the slave for the master, Aunt Lingxi, what complaints do you have?"
The shrill voice of one of the eunuchs sounded, and his tone was full of schadenfreude and mockery.
Yang Qiuxuan sneered, and only replied: "I have suffered for the master, of course Lingxi has no complaints, but this matter has not yet been investigated, and Grandpa Sun can't put the hat of this big sin on Concubine Xiang's head, she hasn't fallen out of favor yet!" ”
The grandfather-in-law laughed dryly again and said: "That's true, but, there is a good saying, the red face is easy to get old, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she also has someone who is old and yellow, in the end, it is not as good as the new young girl, the slave thinks, or can't be too carried away, Aunt Lingxi, what do you say?" ”
Yang Qiuxuan glanced at the grandfather-in-law, and saw that the eunuch had a malicious smile on his face, so he didn't speak again.
She knelt down in the direction of the main hall with her skirt on the ground, and just as the two eunuchs drew the whips on their bodies, she suddenly heard a crisp girl's voice and shouted: "Stop! ”
Yang Qiuxuan unconsciously trembled, and raised her head suddenly, for some reason, she felt that this voice was extremely familiar, as if it often echoed in her dreams, and when she saw a tall and slender girl rushing from behind King Jing, there was almost a voice in her heart.
In fact, Han Ling also changed her face at this moment, because of the memory of Han Mo who had dedicated her portrait to Emperor Jingxi in her previous life, she would never dare to meet the emperor with her true face, today's saint is lewd and lustful, especially a thirteen or fourteen-year-old young girl, take her menarche blood to refine the pill for her, and she has just come to menarche, so she can't take this risk.
"Where did you come from, little girl, to dare to shout here?" Gonggong Sun shouted loudly, and Yang Qi was about to hit someone with a whip, and at this moment, King Jing's voice came.
"This is the doctor girl in this king's mansion, is Grandpa Sun going to teach people a lesson for this king?"
Although King Jing's words were said very kindly, Gonggong Sun was not a fool, and he didn't fail to hear the displeasure and rebuke in these words.
So, he hurriedly pouted, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Jing's person, the slave deserves death, he has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I ask His Highness to forgive him!" ”
The palace maid who was kneeling on the ground of the Jing Dynasty glanced at it, and saw that Han Ling had been staring at this palace maid until her eyes were full of tears, and she had already guessed in her heart that this palace maid must be the easy-to-look Madame Yang.
Just when Han Ling impulsively wanted to throw herself into Yang Qiuxuan's arms, King Jing suddenly grabbed her.
"Let's go inside!" He reminded in a whisper.
Only then did Han Ling suppress the excitement and sentimentality in his heart, gradually calmed down, and nodded to King Jing.
So, Han Ling retreated behind King Jing again, and followed him into the main hall of Yaohua Palace very respectfully and smoothly, leaving Yang Qiuxuan stunned in place, unconsciously wringing her skirt with her hands and quietly shedding tears.
As soon as he entered the door of the main hall, Han Ling heard a very soft and soft voice coming.
The voice said with pleading: "Please don't punish Lingxi, this matter has nothing to do with Lingxi, the cat is indeed raised by the concubine, but the concubine has been locked up in Fengqi Palace, today I don't know why it ran out, the concubine doesn't know that Concubine Jing is afraid of cats, can't be frightened, the emperor, the so-called ignorant is not guilty, please be merciful, let Lingxi go!" Or the emperor condemned the concubines, and the concubines were willing to be punished! ”
Han Ling raised his head slightly, and saw that the main hall was full of people, except for an emperor wearing a Taoist robe sitting at the top, surrounded by concubines and palace e's shadows with thin clothes and fragrant sideburns, and several eunuchs standing in front of the main hall.
A bright woman in a bright yellow palace dress was kneeling at the emperor's feet, grabbing the emperor's robe and looking at him pleading bitterly.
Although Han Ling had never seen Aunt Qingluo's true face, he had quickly judged that this woman was the concubine Xiang that Han Mo sent to the palace seven years ago, that is, Jiang Ling, who voluntarily came to this harem in order to overturn the case for the Jiang family.
It turned out that this was Jiang Ling, who was really amazingly beautiful, with a clear and beautiful face, but revealing a mature charm.
Before Concubine Xiang's words were finished, another young woman's voice immediately sounded in the hall and sneered: "Sister Concubine Xiang is really an inch, the emperor has been extraordinarily gracious and forgiven her sister's sins, but it is just to let a slave beside you suffer on your behalf, I didn't expect my sister to be so dissatisfied, does my sister think that the emperor loves my sister, and my sister can do whatever she wants?" ”
"Sister Concubine Jing is also the emperor's beloved, and she also has the prince His Royal Highness King Jing, if she has three longs and two shorts, the life of the slave next to you is not enough to compensate!"
Jiang Ling knew that this sentence was not false at all, although she had been favored by the emperor's side for seven years by her own means, but after all, she did not give birth to an imperial heir, and she naturally did not want to give birth to children for this faint monarch, but no matter how she was favored, the imperial heir would always come first, and Concubine Lu Jing's status was far higher than her.
If something really happened to Concubine Lu Jing, not only would Ah Xuan not be able to keep her, but I am afraid that even she would be trampled on, even if the emperor was reluctant, how could he resist the spittle of this group of harem ladies and the power of those relatives!
So, Jiang Ling slipped his hand down in some despair, and just muttered in a low voice: "No, Sister Jing, she will be fine, she will be fine......
The emperor also comforted her with some displeasure: "Ai Concubine, I have forgiven you to the limit!" ”
At this time, a imperial doctor happened to come out of Concubine Lu Jing's bedroom, the imperial doctor was already about forty years old, and he looked gray and a little depressed.
The emperor called the imperial doctor to the front and asked, "How is Concubine Jing's illness?" Can you wake up? ”
The imperial doctor replied with a frightened face: "Concubine Jing Niangniang is already suffering from heart disease, especially can't stand the fright, and now she ......" When he said this, his voice was choked, and he knelt on the ground, crying and crying, "The minister is incompetent, Concubine Jing's pulse is extremely weak, and it has gradually stopped, and the minister is really powerless to return to the sky......
The emperor's face suddenly became very unsightly, and after he took a long breath, he waved his hand at the imperial doctor and told him to retreat.
But at this moment, Han Ling walked up to the main hall.
"Since the pulse has not stopped, how can you conclude that you are powerless?" She looked at the imperial doctor who was lying on the ground and asked sharply.
This imperial doctor's surname is Jiang, she also knows it, and the eldest young master's illness is mostly treated by this Jiang imperial doctor, but after so many years, the eldest young master's illness is not only not cured, but aggravated, I don't know if this Jiang Tai's medical skills are not good, or is there something else?
Han Ling's voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and only then did everyone notice that King Jing had come to the hall at some point.
King Jing immediately saluted the emperor and said, "Erchen greets his father!" ”
The emperor nodded, and said in a lukewarm tone: "Get up!" ”
He pointed at Han Ling again and asked, "You brought this girl here, what did you bring her for?" ”
King Jing replied: "Erchen knew that his mother had been suffering from heart disease for a long time and could not cure it, so he found a famous doctor from the people to treat his mother's illness, and this girl was the famous doctor found by Erchen. ”
"Father, what Imperial Doctor Jiang said just now may not be true, and the son begs his father to let this girl try again?"
As soon as King Jing's words fell, Imperial Physician Jiang asked a little unconvinced and funny: "Your Highness, a female doll who looks like she is only a teenager, is it possible that she is a famous doctor?" Your Highness, don't be deceived by some charlatans! ”
Imperial Physician Jiang's words immediately caused a group of women in the hall to laugh.
"Yes! Your Majesty, don't say that Imperial Doctor Jiang doesn't believe it, even the concubines don't believe it, His Royal Highness King Jing is too kind-hearted, and a yellow-haired girl dares to deceive His Royal Highness King Jing under the guise of a famous doctor! The one who spoke was still the young concubine who had refuted Concubine Xiang just now.
Han Ling couldn't help but glance at her coldly, seeing that this concubine should be less than twenty years old, she was very charming and handsome, and her figure was very young, but her eyes flashed with a cold and vicious light.
She also immediately knelt down to the emperor in front of the main hall.
"Your Majesty, the people's daughter is willing to guarantee her life that she will be able to cure Concubine Jing's illness, and please ask the emperor to allow the people's daughter to enter the room immediately to diagnose and treat the mother, so as not to delay the time to save the man!"
"The life of the mother concubine is at stake, please ask my father for permission!" King Jing also solemnly answered.
The emperor looked at Han Ling, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.
"Guarantee with your life? Little girl, do you know what vows you have made? He said in a deep voice.
"Of course the folk girl knows, but the folk girl also has a request." Han Ling suddenly changed his words, looked at the emperor without fear and said, "If the people's daughter is good at Concubine Jing, the people's daughter will also ask the emperor for a reward." ”
"How can there be a reward before you start smelting, this girl doesn't know the moment distance!" Another female voice sneered.
The emperor replied with a smile: "If you do a good job of Concubine Jing, I will naturally be rewarded, but if you are not good, but Concubine Jing will lose her life, I may not only have your life!" You have to think about it! ”
The words are said by her, and if she can't do it, it is no longer a question of whether she can smelt well or not, but a bully.
Han Ling naturally understood this truth, and he also understood Emperor Jingxi's personality better.
Under the gloating or nervous gazes of everyone around him, Han Ling pondered for a moment, then raised his head, smiled and replied categorically: "Okay, the people's girl is willing to accept the consequences of this bet!" (To be continued.) )
