Gui's black Gui, where did the boy come from? Chapter 2 Knowing the Checkmate and the Truth Entering the palace to apprentice and withdraw from the marriage
Chi Chao wakes up from his coma and finds himself soaking in a giant medicated tub. On the side, the white-haired Yan Shi was throwing medicinal herbs one by one.
"Master Yan, what's wrong with me?" Chi Chao asked the busy Yan Shi.
Yan Shi wiped a handful of sweat and said, "It's nothing, this is a normal sign that the rotten poison has developed to the second stage of 'rottenness'. ”
"Rotten? What is it? Can it be cured? Chi Chao said anxiously.
"No, this rotten poison has already taken root in you, and according to my medical skills, it can't reach that step." Yan Shi was slightly sorry, "I can only delay the time and extent of its attack. ”
"Is there really nothing you can do?"
Chi Chao does not give up, there must be a cure.
"No, rotten poison is a poison made by cultivators, as long as you find an old pharmacist who has become a Taoist through medical skills, there may be a glimmer of hope. Furthermore, when one reaches the realm of a great master of a cultivator, one can cleanse one's body and resolve oneself from corruption. ”
"How do you find the old pharmacist?" Chi asked eagerly. Master Yan stroked his white beard under his chin, "You don't need to worry about this, on the day I found out that you were poisoned by the poison in your body, I wrote to this old friend to ask him to rush to Guiguo, but there has been no reply." I'm afraid he's fallen. ”
"What?! How do you reach the realm of a great grandmaster? Chi Chao continued to ask.
"Lord Wang, give up. Even if you are talented, it will take ten years. You can't wait that long. ”
God has brought me here, and let me die so soon. Play me too! Chi Chao angrily dived into the potion liquid.
"Poof!" The pond broke through the water again.
"What will happen to me?" Chi Chao asked.
"Rotten poison first rots bones, then rotten dirt, and finally rotten muscles. The end was terrible. It's better not to say it. ”
"It's always going to happen, I'm not afraid. You say. ”
"This ...... Well, you will rot day after day, and in the end all that is left is a pair of skins and a skeleton shelf. ”
After soaking for three hours, Chi Chao's whole body was red after coming out. When he got dressed, he realized that he didn't even know how to wear a single one. I had to ask Master Yan for help.
Yan Shi is not bothered, maybe it is because he has soul disorder.
"In the future, I will enter the palace once a month to soak in a medicinal bath, and I have explained this matter to Your Majesty." Master Yan instructed before leaving.
"Thank you, Master Yan, go slowly." Chi Chao gave him a gift.
As Chi Chao walked on the way out of the palace, two people suddenly jumped out, almost scaring him to death.
Seeing the person coming clearly, Chi Chao bent down and said, "Nanling King Chi Chao pays a visit to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
"Okay, no outsiders." Gui Yan'er threw him a cloth bag, which was heavy.
When Chi Chao opened it, it turned out to be gold and silver cups. "I wonder what Your Highness means by this?"
"We've heard that you can enter the palace once a month and exchange these for some novelties outside the palace. Got it? ”
"It is an honor for this king to serve His Highness." Chi Yu tied the cloth bag to his belt, indicating that he agreed to their thing.
"Thank you, thank you for your hard work." Gui Dongdong said thank you.
"Say thank you to him. Let's go quickly, and let my father find out. Gui Yan'er pulled Gui Dongdong away, not allowing them to continue to have a chance to speak.
Chi Chao left the palace and did not go back to the palace directly. He wandered down the street when he suddenly entered a secluded alley and heard two familiar voices.
Chi Chao quietly approached, hiding in the bushes around the corner to observe.
It's Lee Bai Tian and Ikeyu! How are they here? Chi Chao was puzzled by the appearance of these two people here, and saw that Li Baitian respected Chi Tang very much, as if Chi Tang was the master.
Chi Yan pricked up his ears and stole a sound.
"Lord Wang, what is the matter with me urgently?"
"What's wrong with Chi Chao? It's like a different person? ”
"Soul disorder, it may be caused by convulsions."
"That's good, I thought someone else had replaced him. As a stand-in for this king, he can't really become this king. How long do I have to wait? ”
"Come on, lord. At the age of fifteen, your true identity will be revealed, and Your Majesty will do everything in his power to protect you. The shadow's mission is complete. You don't have to endure the humiliation anymore. ”
"This king can't wait, Gui Jixiang has to break the marriage contract because of him. I must include this stunner in the room. ”
"Lord Wang, don't worry, if you find out your anti-heaven qualifications, it's too late for King Ningling to please you."
"Okay, we can't meet for too long, you leave quickly, so as not to make people suspicious." Chiyu waved his hand.
"Yes!" Li Baitian's figure flashed and disappeared.
Chiyu looked around vigilantly to make sure that no one was behind him before leaving.
Walking on the bustling street, there was an undercurrent surging in Chi Chao's heart. Nimad, in the end, I was just a stand-in, blocking the guns and arrows for him, and he lived freely.
In the three months before the Soul Enlightenment Day, I want to get it back one by one.
Chi Chao stabilized his emotions to prevent Li Baitian from seeing the clues, and then he walked into the palace.
"The prince is back, do you feel better?" Li Baitian asked with concern.
Seeing Li Baitian's appearance, Chi Chao wanted to gag.
"Well, it's better. But once a month, he had to go to the palace to continue his treatment. ”
"The prince has worked hard."
"It's nothing, I'll go to bed first when I'm sleepy."
Lying on a hardwood bed, covered with an iron-like quilt, Chi thought about his next step.
First of all, you must be completely familiar with this world, this dynasty. Second, learn some skills, such as medicine. Third, keep an optimistic attitude and find opportunities to enter the spiritual path.
Early the next morning, Chi Chao was already on his way to the academy. When they arrived at the schoolhouse, they saw no one. Chi Chao went to the library of the academy and found two thick books about this world and the Kingdom of Gui.
After the registered teacher handled the borrowing business for him, he immersed himself in the compilation of the lesson plan.
Chi Chao came to the desk on the side of the library and sat down, opened the first page of the book, and found that the font was Lishu. He could understand, so Chi Chao turned on the silent reading mode.
Whenever his eyelids drooped due to sleepiness, Chi Chao would put his hand on the candle flame to burn it, and after feeling a little more energetic, he continued to read.
When he finished reading the two books, it happened to be class time, and Chi Chao hurried to the teaching house again.
He held the pen in his hand and found that it hurt terribly. It turned out to be covered with burning blisters.
For the next month, Chi Chao spent the same time, but his spirit became more and more concentrated. You won't be sleepy anymore when you read. Even's physical fitness has also improved a lot.
For Chi Chao, this is just the beginning.
What exactly do you buy for the eldest princess and the princess? Chi Chao tossed and turned on the bed, and finally decided: buy food.
I was going to enter the palace to take a medicinal bath today, so Chi Chao asked for leave from the teacher yesterday.
In the morning, Chi Chao approached Li Baitian. With a begging face, he said, "Lao Li, can you support me for ten taels of silver?" I have an urgent need. ”
"What's the urgency?" Li Baitian asked as if he was questioning.
"This king wants to worship Master Yan as a teacher and learn medicine from him. Because he is about to graduate from Yuechuan, this king is looking for something else to do. ”
"Why study medicine?" Li Baitian asked again.
"Because of Mother. His mother used to be the heavenly doctor of Guiguo, and this king wanted to know his mother. ”
When Li Baitian heard this, his eyes suddenly became extremely bright, and he seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
"Five taels. Five taels is fine. Chi Yan took a step back.
"I don't have a thousand taels and I want to worship Master Yan as a teacher, take it." Li Baitian took out a silver ticket with a face value of 1,000 taels out of nowhere, "If I find out that you are using this money elsewhere, you will feel better." ”
"Definitely, definitely." Chi Chao carefully put away the silver ticket.
Chi Chao came to the best blacksmith shop in Yongcheng, Baizhulou, and pointed out that he wanted to build the most subtle milliscale and a very labor-saving medicine pestle. This cost a total of nine hundred and eighty taels of silver. During the construction period, Chi Chao inquired about the most reputable money village in Yongcheng and the restaurant that can sell the authentic food of the Wasteland and the Xiguo - Tianshi Pavilion.
Chi Chao exchanged the gold and silver cups for 40,000 taels of silver tickets, so that he didn't have to worry about adding money to it.
After booking the food in the Heavenly Food Pavilion, Chi Chao went back to the Baixuan Building to take away the beaten milliscales and medicine pestles, and rushed to the palace gate, and the Heavenly Food Pavilion just sent someone to deliver the food.
Chi Chao walked into the hospital with a food box in one hand and a salute in the other.
Yan Shi stopped what he was doing and greeted him: "What does this mean, prince?" ”
"Master is above, please accept the apprentice's three bows." Chi Chao suddenly knelt on the floor.
"First bow."
"Second bow."
"Third bow."
"The prince's golden body, how can he kneel in my palace to heal." Yan Shi hurriedly helped Chi Chao up.
"Then if you don't agree, if you don't agree, the king won't get up." Chi Chao didn't get up.
"The prince wants to learn, how can the old body not teach."
"Yes! Master. Chi Yan stood up from the ground, bowed, and said, "Master, this is the milliscale and medicine pestle that the apprentice bought for you. Please accept it. ”
"Yikes!" When Master Yan saw the precise iron pestle and iron scale, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Thank you for having this heart, and the old man accepted it." After that, the old body will ask His Majesty to let you enter the palace freely. ”
"Master Xie, and Master doesn't need to call me Lord Wang, just call me Ah Zhu."
"Okay, Ah Zhuan. Strip and take a medicated bath. ”
"Yes." Chi Chao stripped naked and soaked in the liquid medicine.
During the time of bathing, Master Yan brought three books on pharmacology and asked him to read them within three hours.
Ji Yan took it with a smile and read it with relish in the medicine barrel.
These three books deal with the herbs, prescriptions, and causes of incurable diseases in this world. In less than two hours, Chi Chao finished reading through, and then spent the rest of the time combing and consolidating. It's not like a stream of remorse, but seven-seven-eighty-eight can still be handy.
After soaking in the medicinal bath, Master Yan passed him a thick notebook and asked him to read it before entering the palace next time.
After bidding farewell to Master Yan, Chi Chao rushed to the palace of the eldest princess without stopping, and the two nobles had already waited for him to be impatient.
"Let Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and Her Royal Highness the princess wait for a long time." Chi Chao pleaded guilty.
"Tell us what you have brought with you?" Gui Yan'er was impatient.
"This king has brought the delicacies of the wasteland and the tide country." After speaking, Chi Chao opened the food box in front of them.
In an instant, the whole palace was filled with the aroma of deliciousness. The food box of the Heavenly Food Pavilion is specially made, which can not only keep warm but also keep fresh. To ensure that the food retains the taste of the freshly baked food to the greatest extent, the food will not change too much over the course of the day.
Chi Yan brought out the dishes inside and placed them on the table in front of them.
The golden sauce wraps around the baked medium-rare lamb chops, and the sesame seeds are evenly smeared on top. Freshly cut donkey meat is fished out of the steaming hot pot, and you can see its tenderness at a glance. The milky white broth made of pork leg bones is soaked in a large bowl of knife-cut noodles, and a few green onions on the noodles are the biggest fragrance.
These delicacies were placed in front of Gui Dongdong, which made her swallow her saliva.
Spread on the ice, it looks like a peony blooming raw fish tart. A large sheet of dough is mixed with dried shrimp and egg mixture. Once baked, it looks like a modern pizza, and the mere appearance is mouth-watering. There's also a bowl of caviar like tiny black pearls that make you want to put it in your mouth and chew it.
These delicacies were put in front of Gui Yan'er.
The two of them kept swallowing saliva from the moment they opened the lid. It's just that because of the princess's face, she has been enduring the little devil in her stomach.
"Don't disturb the meals of His Highnesses, this king will retire." Chi Chao exited the temple.
"Chi Chao, thank you!" Gui Dongdong said gratefully.
"Don't forget to bring it next time." Gui Yan'er did not forget to instruct.
Chi Chao returned to the palace, and just as he wanted to rest, someone sent a post. He opened it and saw that it was the farewell banquet for graduation, and he booked it in the best restaurant in Yongcheng - Yufangzhai.
Chi Chao didn't plan to participate, but he knew that Liao Dun would definitely go. It's not that he doesn't want to go, and it's not that he's afraid that the housekeeper won't agree. It's that he doesn't have time to spare. Master Yan's notebook is his medical record since he started as a doctor, and the time spent on medication and treatment. And with the sequelae symptoms and maintenance methods after treatment.
It's a huge treasure trove for Chi Chao. He had to take this treasure house for himself within a month, and make it his own.
This month, the consumption of fire candles in the Nanling Palace's mansion was extraordinary, which was enough for the previous year. Every day, Chi Chao reads books for two hours and exercises for one hour. And so on and so forth.
Chi Chao's body grew stronger and stronger, and his face was no longer morbidly pale as before. walked a hundred miles, and only took a few breaths.
Entering the palace this time, Master Yan was impressed by Chi Chao. Not only is he familiar with medical science, but he also trains himself to be physically strong and full of energy.
"Miss, Ah Zhu has grown up. Much like you. Yan Shi sighed.
While taking a bath, Master Yan was relieved: "Ah Yan, you have changed. Become very motivated. ”
"Master, people can't be muddy all their lives. If I weren't the king of Nanling, I would still have the ability to live. I don't want my fate to be in the hands of others, I want to live for myself. Chi replied.
"That's right, the old prince once said. People don't want to be controlled by others all the time. The human heart is free, and the consciousness of freedom leads people to pursue freedom. ”
My father, whom I have never met, is quite progressive in his speech. Chi Chao said in his heart.
After soaking in the medicinal bath, Master Yan continued to hand him a book on acupuncture points in the human body. And explained: "It is better to believe in books than to have no books, Ah Yan, you should put what you have learned into practice." ”
"But I can't find a patient to treat."
"Take this to the Wormwood Pavilion in Yongcheng, and they will help you arrange for the patient. I want you to be cured within a month, and all the patients you treat will be cured. Yan Shi handed him a letter with his private seal on it.
"I will definitely live up to Master's expectations." Chi Chao took it in his hand and put it in his arms.
Chi Chao was about to leave the palace, but unexpectedly, Emperor Gui's personal official Wang stopped him.
"I wonder what the king wants to talk about with this king?" Chi Chao bowed to the first way.
"Pass on Your Majesty's dictation, and announce that you have something important to discuss when you enter the imperial study. Come with me. "Mr. Wang turned around and left, neither fast nor slow.
What the? Your Majesty declares me? Could it be that I brought something poisonous and killed the princess? Chi Chao was thinking crankily while following Manager Wang.
Entering the imperial study alone, Chi Chao saw Emperor Gui sitting on a high seat with a dragon robe. Under the side, there stood a middle-aged man in a pink robe very similar to him.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what to call your courtiers?" Chi Chao knelt down and said.
"Ah Yan, I called you here to discuss your marriage with Ji Xiang." Emperor Gui was embarrassed.
"Oh." Chi Chao got up from the ground and looked at the man in pink, "It turns out that you are the King of Ningling." ”
"How dare you speak to this king like this? Don't you have a sense of humility at all! Guiqiu said angrily.
"You are the prince, and I am also the prince. How will this king listen to you? ”
Guiqiu couldn't wait to step down and beat Chi Chao, but Emperor Gui stopped him, "Guiqiu, if you want to get the divorce letter, don't do anything out of line, otherwise the widow won't care." ”
"Your Majesty is wise." Chi Chao bowed.
"Ah Yan, can you look at Xia Bo's face and withdraw this marriage. Xia Bo will introduce you to another new marriage. Emperor Gui asked.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, if a rich man wants to buy you a non-hereditary royal title, what price do you take?"
"This, 100,000 taels of gold."
"Good. His Royal Highness the county lord has golden branches and jade leaves, how can it be worth half of the gold. As long as King Ningling exchanges 50,000 taels of gold, this king will definitely present the letter of divorce with both hands. Chi Chao said respectfully.
"You're treating my daughter like a cargo! What do you mean! Go on the scamp. "King Ningling was furious.
"This king took advantage of the fire to rob, do you love to change it. I only have one chance, and my thoughts are changing all the time. "Chi Chao is not in a hurry at all.
"You ......"
Guiqiu looked at Emperor Gui.
Chi Chao saw Guiqiu looking at Emperor Gui, so he spoke again: "If King Ningling thinks that the county lord is not worth this price, this king will drop it a little more, 10,000 taels of gold." This is the lowest price, otherwise the county lord is no different from those rich ladies. ”
"You ......" King Ningling's hand was placed on the hilt of the sword at his waist and was about to be pulled out.
"Okay, King Ningling handed over 50,000 taels of gold to King Nanling in exchange for a letter of divorce, and it will be paid off today. Guiqiu, go back and send the money to the Nanling Palace. Emperor Gui made a decision for them.
"Brother Huang, this ......" King Ning Ling was a little reluctant.
"Either take the money and withdraw from the marriage immediately, or get out." Emperor Gui had a tough attitude.
"Yes! Your Majesty. The minister retired. Guiqiu glared at Chi Yan viciously, and then exited the imperial study.
"Can you borrow Your Majesty's royal pen and paper, and the minister will write a letter of withdrawal now." Chi Chao spoke.
"Feel free to use it. The widow first goes to the Tianmen Hall to deal with government affairs, and you write it and bring it to the widow. ”
"Xia Bo walks slowly." Chi Chao soaked the purple brush with ink and wrote on the bud paper.
Letter of Divorce:
The king of Nanling was suffering from corruption and died soon. Ji Xiang, the daughter of the unmarried wife of King Ningling, the lord of Shangqiu County, is in the mood for twenty-eight. I really didn't dare to delay, so I quit the marriage and asked him to find another good partner. Since then, the Ningling Mansion and the Nanling Mansion have nothing to do with each other.
Handwritten by King Nanling
In the last step, Chi Chao took off the seal of King Nanling on his waist, dyed it with ink, and stamped it with a private seal on the paper.
Chi Zhen deliberately didn't write his name, so that neither he nor the real King of Nanling could cancel the divorce letter.
Chi Chao handed over the letter of divorce to Queen Gui and happily returned to the palace.
