Yan Lu didn't expect the young man to be so anxious, and secretly paid for the Yan zhòng nature of this matter, and after thinking about it again, he said: "Set off in five days, do you want to go back to Beijing?" ”

"Well, the green sound will go with you then." Xi Chao was not at ease, so he sent Lu Yin back to Shangjing together, one was to take care of him on the road, and the other was to send Yan Lu and the famous doctor into the palace safely, and not to show the slightest rumor.

"Yes." Yan Lu knew that the young man was thoughtful, and he would definitely send his henchmen to go with him, and he didn't have too much resistance in his heart.

Today has gained a lot, Xu Chenlin and Yan Lu said goodbye to the young man and went back to prepare.

"This Zunyi County Lord is such a deep city." Yan Lu couldn't help but sigh at the young man's wit.

"It's been a trap from the beginning." Xu Chenlin said indignantly: "What kind of game, just to let us relax our vigilance and fall into the trap she dug step by step, it can really be said that it has been planned for a long time." ”

"I don't know why the county lord came here alone?" Yan Lu couldn't guess the boy's intentions for a while, but he was sure that the boy wasn't just for the money.

"Do you really want to follow Shangjing, in case something happens?" Xu Chenlin regretted dragging his friend in, obviously the young man didn't plan to let go of Yan Lu, and he must drag him into the water.

"It's okay, it won't be wrong to have that green-sounded girl with you." Yan Lu is not worried about safety, he is just worried that after he arrives in Beijing, what if he can't heal the person in the young man's mouth?

"I can't tell she's only thirteen." is so smart that Xu Chenlin can't help but admire, "From the beginning of getting that private seal, she didn't plan to hide her identity, if she wasn't too suspicious, it would be impossible to think about other aspects." "I'm afraid of being led by the nose by a little girl.

"Forget it, she doesn't have any ill intentions per se." This was Yan Lu's own judgment, otherwise he would not have agreed to the young man's request so happily.

What Xu Chenlin could say, he let the young man fall into the water, and he could only knock out his teeth and swallow blood, but fortunately, the Xu family now has the Prime Minister's Mansion as the backing, and it is impossible to talk about the loss.

Hongming was a little worried: "Master, does it really matter?" "Will the disclosure of the identity have an impact on future arrangements?

"It doesn't matter." Xi Chao already had a plan in his heart, "Both of them are smart people. "Smart people should know what to say and what not to say, and they still have the ability to judge the time, not to mention that Yan Lu will enter Beijing this time, and he will find that they will be people in the same boat, and if they want to get out, it depends on whether their own price is enough.

Since knowing the identity of the young county lord, every time I see the teenager, I always feel very awkward, how to look at the teenager or the teenager, I can't see the weakness of the daughter's family at all, whether it is talking or behaving, it makes Xu Chenlin irritable, which directly causes the sequelae of not being able to sleep, in order to avoid being ugly, he hid from the teenager for a few days, of course, he used the matter of private salt as an excuse, he didn't want the teenager to have unnecessary misunderstandings.

Yan Lu looked at Xu Chenlin's face was not good, obviously he didn't sleep well, and asked the reason, and couldn't help laughing.

"What do you care about?" Yan Lu stopped laughing under Xu Chenlin's angry gaze: "You can't solve the problem by getting along with her as before, isn't her makeup now just trying to give people the illusion that she is a man, you are entangled in what she is doing in disguise as a man, how she was before and how she is now, where you are so troubled that you can't sleep at night." ”

"Cut." It seems that he is worried in vain about three hundred taels of silver here, Xu Chenlin secretly scolded himself for being unproductive, and he was made out of shape by a little girl.

Yan Lu added tea to Xu Chenlin and let him drink it to dissipate his anger.

"Ready?" Xu Chenlin put down the teacup and asked about his friend's visit to Beijing in the future.

"Well, it's already packed." It will take a month to walk on the way to Beijing, and Yan Lu has already discussed it with his parents at home.

"If it weren't for me, it wouldn't have bothered you." Xu Chenlin felt very regretful, the young man was not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance, and there must be something waiting for them to come to the door in the future.

"It's none of your business." Yan Lu spoke: "The boy will check my identity, either this time or next time, I can't hide from it." ”

Yan Lu knew very well in his heart that with the temperament of a young man, he would not mistakenly reveal what was beneficial to him, and since he saw the young man's background, he probably had already thoroughly checked it in front of the young man, the Yan family has been in the medicine business for generations, and naturally there will be no shortage of an old doctor who sits in the hall.

"Mr. Qu is nearly sixty years old, not to mention the fatigue of this journey, I'm afraid I'm going to Beijing......" Xu Chenlin didn't continue, his brows furrowed tightly, he was really afraid that the two of them would go and not return. It's not that he always thinks badly, but Shangjing is a place of right and wrong, full of dignitaries and dignitaries, and who can afford to look down on people like them.

There are many powerful people in Beijing, and they go to the mansion of the prime minister of a country, if they are not cured, they will be angered for no reason, he is simply beyond the reach of the whip in Xuzhou City, even if he is lucky enough to pass this pass, but they are all businessmen, and they have no right to speak in Beijing, Xu Chenlin's worries are not groundless.

"The young man is the lord of the county, and he will not do anything to disregard people's lives." Yan Lu comforted his friend, this sentence is not convincing at all, it is not for nothing that the county lord of Zunyi cares about people's lives, in fact, he also has such concerns in his heart, no matter how much worry he has, he can't hide it after all, he can only pin his hopes on the young man, hoping that the young man is a person who keeps his promises.

Xu Chenlin knew that Yan Lu was comforting himself, so he stopped talking about these annoying things, he still had to take one step at a time, and no matter how many assumptions he made, it would be useless.

Xi Chao has lived in the back garden of Fengyang Tower for several days, coldly watching the changes in Xuzhou City, writing a few words in his spare time, and usually reading books and practicing martial arts.

"Master, what you want." Hongming handed over a piece of tissue paper, on which Yan Lu's family background was written.

After looking at it, Xi Chao burned it directly and asked, "The letter has been delivered?" ”

"It's delivered, I guess the emperor will be able to see it tonight." Hongming replied.

"This old Mr. Qu Jinqu is a famous doctor in Jiangning, his ancestors are practicing medicine, and he is a family friend of the Yan family." Hongrui handed over the tea that had just entered the entrance and said, "Master, don't worry. ”

"I hope so." Xi Dynasty hopes that Qu Jin will be able to cure his father's illness a little, saying that it is a disease, but it is just poisoning, as for what poison is the hospital Those rice buckets have not been found out so far, and the father can only take chalcedony every three days to alleviate the toxicity, and he has to take other decoctions on weekdays, but there is still no sign of improvement.

On the day Yan Lu left, Xi Chao personally went to see him off, got to know Mr. Qu, and then gave Yan Lu a jade pendant for his status as the county lord, "Take it, and I won't condemn you." She was very aware of Xu Chenlin's worries, and in order to avoid emergencies, she gave Yan Lu such a guarantee of life.

"This ......" Yan Lu looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and looked at the young man with puzzlement in his eyes.

"Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it's your own home, why are you afraid that something will happen?" Xu Chenlin felt that the young man's behavior was inexplicable for a while.

It is impossible for the Xi Dynasty to tell the true situation, only to ask Yan Lu to put away the jade pendant and use it in the future.

Yan Lu knew that this jade pendant was an invisible identity guarantee in Shangjing, so he no longer refused and carefully put it away.

The green voice who went with him was still dressed as a man, and in order to avoid accidents on the road, it was much more convenient to wear men's clothes than women's clothes.

The farewell is short-lived, Xu Chenlin has been able to face up to the young man dressed as a man, he still calls him a little boy, and occasionally doesn't care about the names of the two parties, and the relationship between the two is closer than before.

"Master, is it necessary to give a jade pendant?" Hongrui didn't understand how she would need the identity of the county lord to help her when she went to Beijing with Luyin, and she didn't really go to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"If Dr. Qu can't keep his heart, then entering the palace is equivalent to death." Xi Chao's words are not alarmist, what she said is the most important medical virtue of a doctor, if he is like the imperial doctor in the palace, he is afraid of losing his life and delays the condition again and again, and prescribes some gentle decoction to delay the disease, then don't say a small life, even the life of the family can not be saved.

Hongrui is not stupid, she understands what her master means, and then thinks about Yan Lu and the others who are on the way, and can't help but pinch a cold sweat for them.

The journey was peaceful, and a month later, Yan Lu and others arrived safely in Shangjing. Lu Yin arranged for Yan Lu and Dr. Qu to rest for one night in Fengyang Building.

Yan Lu came back from the front hall and saw that Qu Lao's room was still lit, and knocked on the door: "Qu Lao hasn't rested yet?" ”

Qu Jin, who is nearly sixty years old, is sitting at the table and reading medical books, he knows that the identity of the patient in this medical consultation is unusual, so he is extremely cautious.

"Can't sleep." Qu Jin put down the medical book in his hand and said, "Do you know who you are treating with?" "I don't know who the patient is, and I can't settle down.

"I don't know, it should be someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion." Yan Lu thought of Prime Minister Ouyang Ye in his mind, because there were only a few people with status in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Qu Jin Bili was so worried that he was not afraid of his poor medical skills, but because he was afraid of offending the powerful people of the dynasty and his life would not be guaranteed.

"It's not early, you can go and rest." Qu Jin said.

"Qu Lao also rested earlier." After Yan Lu finished speaking, Qu Jin didn't bother anymore and turned to leave.

Early the next morning, Yan Lu and Qu Lao thought that they would go to the Prime Minister's Mansion early in the morning, so they made full preparations, but they didn't know that they would go at night, and the two of them were a little unclear.

"It's inconvenient during the day." Green Tone gives such an answer that is not an answer.

Yan Lu and Qu Lao glanced at each other, and roughly understood in their hearts.

"You two can walk around as you like." Lu Yin mentioned yì, she had to enter the palace first.

Yan Lu nodded, and after asking what Qu Lao meant, they went out together.

There were secret guards behind the two of them, and there was no accident, so Lu Yin quietly entered the palace after being relieved.

Mu Haoyu and Mu Jinming, father and son in the palace, have received the news that they have received a secret letter from Xuzhou on that day, and learned that the youngest daughter has found a doctor for herself and will arrive in the capital in a month.

The father and son very much hope to see Xi Chao, but unfortunately Xi Chao is not in the company this time, and they also know that their youngest daughter has something to do outside, so they can only miss it in their hearts.

"How is Chao'er?" Mu Haoyu asked the green voice of the next one.

Lu Yin replied respectfully, telling all the daily life of the Xi Dynasty, so that the emperor would know that the master was doing well.

Mu Haoyu asked a few words and asked Lu Yin to go back first, waiting for the folk doctor to enter the palace in the evening.

Traveling at night, still taking a carriage, after walking for a long time, Yan Lu looked out from the crack in the window, the more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong, he knew the location of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Beijing, and when he went out this morning, he also specially asked for the way to see where the Prime Minister's Mansion was, but at this time he went more and more deviated, not like the road to the Prime Minister's Mansion, didn't he ask for a doctor in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but to change to a hidden place?

How do you know that Lu Yin took the two of them to a more remote palace gate, and when Yan Lu saw the vermilion palace gate, he was stunned, this is to enter the palace! The carriage did not stop and went directly into the palace gate, Yan Lu suddenly realized, remembered the sentence that the young man had said when he left, the meaning of the word "guilt", it turned out that the final qiē was to enter the palace, no wonder the imperial doctor in the palace was not good at the disease, but asked for a folk doctor, this person who saw the doctor was not any one in the prime minister's mansion at all, but a certain noble master in the palace!

Qu Lao also found that something was wrong, knocked on the wall of the carriage and signaled the carriage to stop, and wanted to ask if he could not enter the palace without knowing everything, although he was uneasy to see a doctor in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it was much better than treating the nobles in the palace.

Lu Yin naturally knew that the two people in the car were nervous at this time, and said softly: "You two don't need to worry too much. ”

Yan Lu's heart sank, it seemed that he had to go if he didn't go, and there was no room for retreat.

The carriage stopped at a remote corner gate, which was not part of the palace and no one noticed that there were people coming in and out.

Green Yin asked the two to get out of the car, and handed each of them a black scarf to cover their eyes: "Offended, please blindfold the two of you." "They are going through the secret passages of the palace, and they must make sure that the secret passages are not leaked out.

Yan Lu and Qu Lao blindfolded their eyes with a black scarf, but they were beating drums in their hearts, it seemed that this must be an unspeakable secret, and the big stone in their hearts was a little heavier.

Midori used a rope to tie the right hand of the two to prevent them from getting lost, and the other end of the rope was in his hand.

"You two can walk with confidence, the road is flat." Midori knew what it would be like to cover her eyes, and told the two of them that they didn't have to worry about stumbling.

"Thank you." Yan Lu thanked him with words, thinking about his plans after entering.

Since entering the secret passage, Yan Lu has been silently remembering in his heart, and he only arrived at the place after walking for a tea time at the end of the day, and heard a door ringing and walked in.

At this time, Mu Haoyu was waiting in his own dormitory in Longhua Palace, leaving only Mu Jinming, Li Desheng and the imperial doctor surnamed Xu in the hall.

Midori led the two into the inner sanctum, untied the rope on their wrists, and asked them to remove the blindfolded black scarf.

The lights and candles in the hall were a little dazzling, and Yan Lu closed his eyes for a while before opening them, and then saw the people in the hall, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The grass people knock to see the emperor." ”

Qu Lao was not stupid and knelt down to salute with Yan Lu, and he was even more shocked in his heart, and suddenly realized in his heart that this was to see the emperor, and the reason why he was so sure was because of the doctor's judgment.

"Get up." Mu Haoyu raised his hand and motioned to the two: "You can start." ”

Imperial Doctor Xu stepped forward to inform Qu Lao that the medical equipment on the table could be used at will.

Qu Lao stepped forward and stretched out his hand to put his hand on the emperor's wrist to check the pulse, this diagnosis was the time of half a cup of tea, and several people present couldn't help frowning and feeling anxious.

"How?" Mu Jinming was eager to know if his father's illness could be cured.

The corners of Qu Lao's forehead were already covered with beads of sweat, he withdrew his hand and looked at the emperor's eyes and tongue, retreated to the side and did not speak, but he was frightened in his heart, where is the emperor's illness is clearly poisoned, and this poison is extremely domineering, and there is really no way to start.

"How?" Mu Haoyu asked out loud, he already knew very well in his heart that his body might not be so easy to get better, so he was not in a hurry.

"The poisonous weeds in the emperor's house have no way to start." Qu Lao lowered his head and replied.

Yan Lu watched silently from the side, noticing the dodge in Qu Lao's eyes, knowing that Qu Lao had something to say.

Yan Lu could see that the people present could also find that Mu Jinming was angry for a while: "Bold, do you know that the crime of bullying the king is to be beheaded!" ”

"The grass people don't dare." Qu Lao's heart was broken, and he hurriedly knelt down to ask for guilt, he did have unfinished words in his heart, he didn't dare to say it.

Mu Haoyu didn't have the heart to play tricks with others at this time, so he raised his hand and asked Li Desheng to take the two down and convict them in the future.

Li Desheng walked over to look at the two kneeling on the ground and said, "Please." ”

Yan Lu and Qu Lao's hearts fell to the bottom all of a sudden, this is to reduce their guilt.

"Wait." Yan Lu suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly took out the jade pendant that was placed close to him and held it in his hand: "The grass people have the jade pendant of the county lord, please open the net." ”

Now Mu Haoyu was in a worse mood, Mu Jin was afraid that Yan Lu would lie, so he stepped forward and took a look at the jade pendant, frowned and said, "It's Xi'er." "The identity of the Xi Dynasty jade pendant is a trait, and you can distinguish the real from the fake at a glance.

Mu Haoyu took the jade pendant presented by Mu Jinming and looked at it, and said with a smile in his heart: "It's really calculated everything, it's just that, forgive you for being innocent." With a smile on his face, his fingers rubbed the jade pendant that represented the identity of the youngest daughter, remembering the little daughter's heart for herself, she sighed in her heart and was quite moved.

Yan Lu and Qu Lao breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and secretly said that it was dangerous, fortunately with that jade pendant, it seems that the county lord of Zunyi expected today's events, and it also confirmed one thing, that is, the emperor's favor for the county lord is not groundless.

"Your Majesty, the grass people have the courage to speak out." Qu Lao also knew that he couldn't hide the thoughts in his heart, so fortunately it was better to say it.

"Say." Mu Haoyu played with the jade pendant in his hand, and his eyes fell on the kneeling old man.

"The grass people diagnosed the emperor as a poisoning disease, the poison has penetrated, and the emperor's longevity has been reduced, and it is extremely difficult to cure it." Qu Lao just knew that the emperor's time was short, so it was not good to speak rashly, and now he could only bite the bullet: "If you want to delay your life for a year and a half, there is a way to try, but this method is very dangerous, and the grass people dare not say anything." ”

Delay life for a year and a half? Mu Haoyu has a little hope in his heart, even if he only prolongs his life for one year, he can protect two underage children.

"How long will I live?" Mu Haoyu calmed down, thought about it and asked.

"Back to the emperor, there are still two years." Qu Lao didn't dare to make a judgment, so he told the truth.

"How?" Mu Yuyu asked again.

Qu Lao hesitated for a moment and said, "Fight poison with poison." ”

"No way!" Mu Jinming suddenly stopped him, he absolutely couldn't allow his father to risk himself, not to mention whether he could succeed, just the process of treatment, if anything, even those two years may not be much.

After hearing this, Mu Haoyu only raised his sword eyebrows and asked Imperial Doctor Xu: "What does Xu Aiqing think?" ”

Imperial Physician Xu stepped forward and replied: "This matter still needs to be discussed again, and we can only try it if we are very sure." He had thought of this method, but he didn't dare to really make a decision on the life of the king of a country, it was completely insufficient for him alone, and now that the old man in front of him said such a thing, he should be somewhat sure in his heart, so that he can try boldly.

"How sure are you?" Mu Haoyufu looked at Qu Lao again.

"Back to the emperor, the grass people still need to carefully consider it with Imperial Doctor Xu to determine that this method is feasible." Qu Lao didn't dare to talk too much, and Imperial Doctor Xu's words just reminded him.

"Okay, you two will stay in the palace." Mu Haoyu left the two of them, no matter how she said it, it was also a piece of her daughter's heart, and said to her youngest son: "Ming'er will take the two of them to the back garden." "It's the garden where my two children lived when I was a child, and it's safe and private, so it's easy to have daily medical appointments.

"Yes." Mu Jinming looked at the two of them, if Xi'er didn't allow it, he really wanted to cure the two of them.

Lu Yin stepped forward and handed over the black scarf, blindfolded the two of them, and took the two of them away.

Yan Lu and Qu Lao let go of a worried heart, and their lives were temporarily saved, as for the future, it is difficult to say, I only hope that the jade pendant of the county lord can play a certain role.
