Chapter 321: The Alley Whispers
"The emperor is angry," the envoy of the Qin court hurriedly knelt down, and even the court judge and a group of imperial doctors also knelt down with Hula, "The ministers are only shallow in learning, and I ask the emperor to forgive the sin!" ”
"I see that you are not sparse and shallow, but resting on your laurels," Zhu Qizhen was still angry, "I think that I will go to the kingdom tomorrow and be all-encompassing, and I don't take exotic medical techniques and medicinal materials in my eyes." ”
The envoy of the Qin court and the others trembled, and no one dared to look up at this angry son of heaven.
"Your Majesty," Zhu Xiyuan stepped forward to persuade: "Don't be angry with the dragon body because of them, the national teacher still needs to be treated!" Didn't Miss Minyu tell me the prescription? There is no imperial medicine depot in this hospital, it does not mean that there are no private pharmacies and pharmacies, you don't have the following will, let people search carefully in various pharmacies in the capital, maybe there will be unexpected discoveries, you can really find this Junxin grass! ”
"Well, the princess's words are reasonable," Zhu Qizhen said, "I will now make an order, let these palace guards who follow me out of the palace go to the street to find this gentleman's heart grass......" glared at the Qin Yuan envoy who was kneeling on the ground, "What are you still kneeling here?" Can it save people? Don't help me go outside and find this medicine! ”
"Yes, yes, the Lordship." The envoy of the Qin Yuan raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, stood up first, turned around and beckoned the people of the Tai Hospital to stumble out.
"Your Majesty," Yang Muyun bowed forward and said, "The criminal ministers are also willing to go outside with them to find the Junxin grass." ”
"Well," Zhu Qizhen stared at him with burning eyes for a while, nodded slightly and said, "It's okay, then you can go!" ”
"Your Majesty," Zhu Xiyuan said beside her, "My sister also wants to go out to share your worries." ”
"Nonsense," Zhu Qizhen frowned slightly, "These things are up to the courtiers to do, you are my eldest princess, what are you going to do?" ”
Zhu Xiyuan pursed her mouth.
"Let's go, go talk to me for a while." Zhu Qizhen walked out of the hall. Seeing that his sister didn't follow, he looked sideways in surprise, but saw Zhu Xiyuan looking at Minyu with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Sister, you know so much, even the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital can't compare to you, can you tell me what you know?" ”
"Junxin grass?" In Hongde Hall, the largest pharmacy in Lingchun Fang, a shopkeeper who was nearly sixty years old deeply twisted his pair of white eyebrows, and looked thoughtfully at Yang Muyun in front of him, who was dressed in the clothes of a palace guard, "This official, the little old man has been pouring medicinal materials all his life, but this Junxin Grass is the first time I have heard of it, isn't this not a medicine produced by my own Daming?" ”
"Exactly, this Junxin grass is produced in the Western Regions, is there really no shopkeeper here?" Yang Muyun's heart sank, such a large pharmacy did not have this kind of medicinal material, and those smaller pharmacies probably would not have it.
"No," the shopkeeper shook his head, "Little Lao'er, most of the medicinal materials here come from the outside of the Saiwai and the border of eastern Liaodong, and the Western Regions really haven't run this way." After thinking for a moment, he said: "The shopkeeper of Jiqing Hall in Xianyifang often takes the line of the Western Regions, maybe he has the medicinal materials that the adults want," and then added, "He is a returner, he believes in the religion of the Western Regions, he has been to Samarkand and Taoli Temple, and I heard that he has been to Mecca, the holy city of their religion!" Since Junxin grass is produced in the Western Regions, then he must know it. ”
"Thank you, shopkeeper." Yang Muyun clenched his fists and turned towards Xicheng.
"Is this Jiqingtang?" Yang Muyun stood in front of the domed building of Xianyifang Mutton Hutong, the doors and windows were arched, and the carved patterns on it were very different from those in Middle Earth, full of exotic characteristics.
"Shopkeeper, this lord has something to look for you." After Yang Muyun entered, he explained his intentions, and a guy led him to the shopkeeper, "My lord, this is our horse shopkeeper." ”
Yang Muyun looked at it, this shopkeeper was about fifty years old, with a thin figure, a long striped robe on it that looked empty, a lock of goatee on his chin, a pointed and high nose, yellow pupils, and his eyes kept turning, looking extremely shrewd, and wearing a cylindrical leather flower hat on his head. This dress does not look like a pharmacy shopkeeper, but like a Hu merchant from an exotic land.
Yang Muyun was stunned, but he didn't expect that the shopkeeper was actually a lustful person. In fact, less than a hundred years after the Yuan court withdrew from Beijing, many Mongols and Semu people remained. The Mongols all changed their Han names and surnames, and were gradually assimilated by the Han people, and only some Semu people still insisted on their own
Beliefs and characteristics, some behaviors and habits are still different from ordinary people.
The shopkeeper was flipping through a thick book in his hand, and when he saw Yang Muyun, he closed it and put it in the drawer under the counter.
Yang Muyun's eyes were sharp, and he saw that it was a Koran, the same as the book in the hands of Said, the messenger of the Chagatai Khanate.
"My lord," the shopkeeper looked at Yang Muyun deeply, "I don't know what you're looking for a villain?" ”
"Shopkeeper Ma," Yang Muyun said very politely, "This official came here to ask you for a medicinal herb." ”
"Don't dare," the shopkeeper said respectfully: "If the villain has something to say, he should offer it with both hands." ”
"I heard that there is a kind of Junxin grass growing on the high mountain rock wall in the Western Regions, which specializes in solving the poison of stone roses, is there one in the horse shopkeeper?" Yang Muyun asked.
The face of the shopkeeper moved, and a hint of brilliance flashed in his eyes, "How did the adults know that there is this kind of grass in the Western Regions?" ”
"It's not a secret, a friend of this official has been poisoned by the carrot flower, and he urgently needs Junxin grass to relieve his ......" Yang Muyun's heart moved when he heard his tone, it seems that this shopkeeper knows this herb.
"Then it's troublesome," the shopkeeper frowned, which made Yang Muyun's mind sink again, only to hear the shopkeeper continue: "Lime flower and Junxin grass are the names of the Han people, and the locals call them Qimanlihua and Sujiya grass, they are born on the snow peak that does not melt all year round, and they are more precious than snow lotus, how can adult friends fall for this poison?" ”
"Since the shopkeeper knows their origins, then you must ...... this Junxin grass"
The shopkeeper shook his head, "The villain doesn't hide it from the adult, this Sujiya grass is extremely rare even in the Western Regions, because very few people can climb the snow peak that does not melt all year round!" Even if you give ten lives, you may not be able to pick a Sugia grass, in addition to the poison of Qimanli flowers, this grass can also drive away evil spirits, so that people can live longer, if ordinary people can pick a plant and dedicate it to the monarch of the Western Regions, then the reward he gets is enough for several lifetimes to be inexhaustible...... "The implication is that if he has this kind of grass, what is he still working hard to open this pharmacy here.
Yang Muyun was depressed when he heard it, it was just a medicine used to detoxify, but he was hated by this horse shopkeeper and couldn't say that this thing should only exist in the sky, and how could the world get a few heavenly immortal products.
"No is no, I won't lie to you, so it's not nothing?" Yang Muyun muttered angrily as he walked out of this exotic pharmacy, without looking at the shopkeeper who respectfully sent him out.
Seeing that it was past noon and the herbs had not yet landed, how to go back and explain to the emperor, Yang Muyun saw a tavern on the side of the road, and felt a little hungry in his stomach, so he paced in and wanted to eat something.
Because it was past noon and there were not many people in the tavern, he found a window seat and sat down, ordered a few dishes at random, and asked for a pot of wine to pour himself a drink.
Estimating that the pharmacies and pharmacies in the capital were about to be visited, and there was no news of Junxincao, Yang Muyun thought carefully about what to do next, and suddenly felt as if someone had patted his shoulder, and suddenly looked back, and an unusually handsome face came into view.
"Ning Gongzi?" He couldn't help but be stunned.
"Ha, it's Brother Yang." Ning Zuer smiled, rolled up his sleeves and sat down opposite him in a chic manner.
Yang Muyun beckoned the store to add another pair of cups and chopsticks, this tavern only has two husband and wife, and there are usually no big people here, seeing that Yang Muyun is dressed extraordinarily, the shopkeeper is naturally courteous, with a smile on his face, he brought a pair of cups and chopsticks, and filled the wine in the wine jug.
"Didn't you go back to Jinyi Weidu to command the envoy Yamen?" Yang Muyun asked as he filled the wine glass in front of him.
"Don't worry, Master Ma just said that I am still in the palace waiting to meet the emperor, so I will not send someone to look for me," Ning Zu'er smiled and picked up the wine glass, "My sword has been cut off, so I have to find a place to ask a craftsman to cast it." ”
"I forgot this, your sword is used to carrying around, unlike me, I have never had a weapon to take advantage of, and many times I can only deal with it with my bare hands." Yang Muyun sighed.
"Then when this sword casting is finished, how about I give it to Brother Yang?" Ning Zu'er smiled slightly and said, "Although it is not a divine weapon, it is fortunately much stronger than ordinary swords."
"A gentleman doesn't win people's love," Yang Muyun also picked up his wine glass and touched Ning Zuer's wine glass lightly, "Besides, I'm used to using knives, and I can only appreciate Ning Gongzi's kindness." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and drank the wine in their glasses. The wine in the tavern was not very good, the entrance was unusually spicy, and Ning Zuer's sword eyebrows frowned.
"This wine is far worse than that of the palace," Ning Zuer shook his head slightly and said, "The color is uneven, the taste is not mellow, and the entrance light is spicy."
"Oh?" Yang Muyun looked at him and said, "Have you also drunk the wine of the palace?"
"Don't hide it from Brother Yang," Ning Zu'er wiped the wine stains from the corner of her mouth, "I just came from the palace." ”
"Have you met the prince?" Yang Muyun said: "He is so interested, please Ning Gongzi you go over to the house to drink."
"It's not that the prince is in a good mood...... Ning Zuer smiled, and walked himself out of the Jiang family's iron shop, how did he meet Liu Yunxi by chance, and was discovered by him, so that he fought each other, until he met the prince and told him about all kinds of affairs.
"So Liu Yunxi is the masked female assassin who wanted to assassinate the emperor in the white tower of Wan'an Temple yesterday?" Yang Muyun asked with a solemn face.
"There is no doubt about it," Ning Zu'er nodded and said with a solemn face: "Although she was veiled on her face at that time, her posture and martial arts skills could not hide from my eyes. If it weren't for your wife pushing the emperor away, it wouldn't be the Shakya Gyaltsen national teacher lying in the Tai Hospital now," the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, with an inexplicable smile in his eyes, "That great teacher has a deep affection for your wife!" ”
"People are monks, Ning Gongzi must not say that." Yang Muyun waved his hand.
"The monks in Tibet are different from the monks in the Central Plains," Ning Zu'er raised his eyebrows, "they can marry wives and have children and live a secular life." ”
"Hmm......" Yang Muyun didn't want to dwell on this topic, and instead said: "Since you know that Liu Yunxi is the one who assassinated the emperor, why don't you hurry back to the palace and bring someone to take her?" ”
Ning Zuer's words made Yang Muyun fall silent, "Because I don't know the relationship between her and Wang." ”
"She and Wang seem to have a very close relationship," Ning Zu'er's eyes deepened, "I can see that Wang likes her very much." ”
"Do you think the king instructed her to do this?" Yang Muyun asked tentatively.
Ning Zuer shook his head, narrowed his eyes and said, "It's hard to say, at least the king has such a motive," his voice paused slightly, and became deeper and deeper: "Brother Yang, think about it, the emperor has no heirs, only a younger brother of the king, if the emperor has an accident, who is most likely to inherit the throne?" ”
Yang Muyun felt cold all over his body, as if someone had poured cold water on his head. What Ning Zuer said is very reasonable, according to his observation of the close relationship between Liu Yunxi and the king, whether Liu Yunxi is instructed by the king or not, the king himself is difficult to get rid of, after all, if the emperor is gone, he will be the biggest beneficiary.
"If I take someone to arrest her, and she insists that she is the king's order, then even if the king is innocent, it will be difficult for him to clear up." Ning Zu'er said the biggest scruple in his heart.
"So before you broke her secret, she wanted to kill you and then quickly, and since you met the king, she has become fearless." Yang Muyun stared at him and said word by word.
Ning Zuer nodded.
"I'm going to find her." Yang Muyun took a deep breath and said.
"You want to get her?" Ning Zuer asked.
"No, I have one thing here that I need her to help me solve...... Yang Muyun told Ning Zu'er about the poison in Shakya Gyaltsen's place, and finally said: "I have almost searched for the imperial medicine warehouse of Tai Hospital and the pharmacies in the whole capital, and there is no medicine Junxin Cao that can cure the poison in Shakya Gyaltsen's national teacher......"
"You want to ask her for it?"
Yang Muyun's chin tapped, "After all, the poison of the stone lithos was given by her, and the antidote has to fall on her to find it." ”
"But what if she doesn't have an antidote?" Ning Zuer said: "Maybe even if she does, she just won't give it to you, what should you do?" ”
"I don't know," Yang Muyun smiled, "I haven't gone to her now, how can I know?" ”
......
"Is this the prince's palace?" Yang Muyun asked with squinted eyes.
