Chapter 33: The Tower

Standing on the top of the Yuhua Pavilion Tower, you can have a panoramic view of Chang'an City.

When she was still a female official in the inner court, she loved to climb the stone steps and go up the stone steps when she found free time, and looked at the east by the railing, which was the direction of Moyuan Pavilion and Dongxi Tower.

Today, I was a little greedy, and I followed a group of palace people to send Aunt Wu out of Huaqing Gate, and I should have honestly gone back to the Taiyi Bureau, but I made the gods go to this Yuhua Pavilion.

In the evening, the clouds will indigo blue sky smudge red and orange splendor, the rows of peach blossoms and snow-white pear blossoms in the palace bloom just right, the extreme eye overlooks, Chang'an City Chinese lights are on at the beginning, the traffic is busy.

She cautiously glanced at the direction of Ziwei Palace, made sure that there was no figure of Yu Moyan on the palace road, and secretly decided to go back to the Taiyi Bureau when she stood for another pillar of incense.

A year ago, Yu Moyan carved a red manzhu sawa on her forehead.

"The flower of the other side." She was especially satisfied with the mirror self-portrait, "Why is it the flower of this yellow spring?" ”

His gaze was extremely soft: "In order to cover that word, I can only choose this flower." “

"Hmm. I like it. She smiled, "As long as you don't separate me from life and death, you'll never see each other." ”

It's just a casual joke.

"Ling'er. This flower is beautiful above your forehead. He was serious, "I will think of sending you out of the palace and never come back." ”

She put away her smile: "You want to send me away?" Where can you go? Though the heavens and the earth are great, there is no place for me. ”

"How is the Northland?" He asked.

"Shen Tai and I have always been incompatible, and my father never cares about my life or death."

"Do you want to go to Yunnan?" He asked again.

"Your Highness has eighteen concubines, and where there are women, there are rivers and lakes, and I am afraid of death."

"Secluded in the countryside and never asked about the world?" He didn't give up.

"So, do you really want to never see me?" Cai Ling joked with a smile.

"Ling'er......" he frowned.

"Can you stay? Stay with you. She asked.

"I'll replace everyone who knows you." But for a moment, Yu Moyan replied.

She shook her head and picked up a silk cloth to cover half of her face, "I'm willing to never look at people with their true faces again." As long as I don't speak, no one will recognize me. ”

A month later, she knelt in front of him and toasted three cups of tea, and since then she has become his only beloved disciple.

To this day, the studies and affairs in the Taiyi Bureau are quite complicated, not as unrestrained and chic as in the Dongxi Building, nor as easy as in the vertical arch hall. Yesterday the dissection of a ewe almost cost her half her life, and the master also said that she should be mentally prepared, and she would be asked to dissect a fresh corpse soon. Human corpses.

Even so, there are always four words in my heart recently-"the future can be expected".

She was already fantasizing about walking the rivers and lakes and being called a miracle doctor, at that time she must have been dressed in white like snow, holding a jade folding fan, and her appearance was peerless.

As he looked over the railing, he burst out laughing, but fortunately the gentle laughter was quickly drowned out by the whistling of the north wind hunting.

"Little Four ......"

Where did this sound come from? Is it a dream, or is it a hallucination?

She clapped her hands on the stone railing, sighing mournfully.

"Who are you?" An incomparably familiar voice sounded from behind him again.

Then Yude's panting voice came: "The wind is strong on the city tower, Your Majesty should be careful of the dragon body." After a moment, he was frightened, "Who is here?" When I saw the saint, I didn't know how to avoid it. ”

Cai Ling's heart was cold, she turned around, curtsied, and bowed in one go.

Her legs were already very sore, but Shen Muchi still stood in place without a sound.

Yude stepped forward and took a closer look at her, and asked the guard beside her, "Is this a closed disciple of Lord Yu of the Imperial Medical Bureau?" ”

The guard bowed and replied, "It's the Song Doctor." It's a pity that she is a mute girl and can't hear her father-in-law's reprimand. ”

"Your Majesty, this person is just a dumb girl. The slave sent it away. Jade tugged at her arm, her chin pointing out, and motioned for her to leave quickly.

She turned around to leave, but the thief's heart was not dead, and she didn't hold back before leaving, and glanced at Shen Muchi.

I heard that His Majesty is now in his prime, and even the master can only go to ask for a peace pulse every half a month, and the rest of the people have never seen Long Yan, so she rarely hears about his recent situation.

It's really ridiculous, since she is the one who wants to kill herself, she has the heart to care about his current situation.

Under the veil, the corners of her lips curled slightly, revealing a sad smile.

After looking at each other, her heart fluttered, and she quickly turned her eyes, the exit was ten steps away, and she would definitely be able to flee in the wilderness.

"Don't go." Suddenly, the emperor had already grabbed her left wrist, if it was usual, she would earn it, but now that she is pretending to be a dumb girl, she should naturally be submissive and not act rashly. She froze in place.

"Your Majesty...... Song Doctor Nu, she couldn't hear it. Yude hurriedly reminded again.

"Let me see you." Ninety-five Supreme, when he said this, he was full of requests.

She had mixed feelings in her heart, but she still didn't move.

The Emperor strode up to her, and within a stone's throw of him, he leaned down, his eyes fixed on hers, and one of his bony hands slowly raised, his fingertips gently rubbing against the flower on her forehead.

"What is this?" The emperor asked.

"Your Majesty...... This is the flower of the Yellow Spring, Manzhu Sahua. Yude looked around and replied stubbornly.

The emperor's bottomless eyes were half-drooping, and he said coldly: "Get out!" ”

Yude looked around again, telling the guards to stand back first, and he himself sloppily to the side.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and only the howling north wind was heard making the robes of the two men hunt.

The Emperor's hand had fallen on the corner of her veil, and she closed her eyes, and if the veil fell, would he be furious knowing that she was not dead? She suddenly wondered.

But what about Master? The crime of harboring prisoners is not small. At that time, she will definitely bite to death and say that she coerced Lord Yu and left him clean.

The hand stopped outside the veil, the base of her ear, the warm fingertips only touched the root of her ear, the faint scent of ambergris passed through the veil into her nose, she held her breath, for fear that she would not help but take a deep breath.

The emperor's gaze seemed to be soaked in mist, and in an instant, it was already a bottomless cold pool: "I recognized the wrong person." Let's go. ”

On the contrary, she was stunned, thinking that she would die at this critical moment, but she easily escaped. She should be secretly glad, but why does her heart seem to be hollowed out, and she is extremely sad?

"Your Majesty......" The warbler whispered, another familiar voice, coming from the door of the stone steps.

She lowered her eyes, not wanting to look. But a few cries of the milk baby aroused her interest.

The baby in Concubine Liangxian's arms was just over half a year old, and she was the first princess of the dynasty. Shen Muchi's eldest daughter.

"It's windy upstairs, what are you doing with her?" The Emperor stood with his hands in his hands.

Yude saw Concubine Liangxian coming up, but Song Yinu didn't leave, and hurriedly stepped forward to catch up with people.

"Your Majesty doesn't know, Cangling cangling can't stop crying, I should miss my father." The baby in her arms really struggled in the direction of the emperor, a pair of small lotus arms tried to reach out to the emperor, and the small mouth was deflated, and she couldn't stop sobbing.

Cai Ling had just taken two steps and suddenly stopped. It turned out that his child's name was Shen Cangling, which was really a good name.

"Come here. Let my father hug me. The Emperor's voice was extremely gentle.

"Excuse me, let's go. Don't rely on being deaf and dumb to commit a crime here. Yude hurriedly showed her the way.

Cai Ling walked back to the inner courtyard of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and saw Yu Moyan and Xiao Chuan sitting in the lobby eating. She quietly walked over to her usual place and sat down.

Xiaochuan hurriedly sandwiched a piece of meat for her: "Auntie, my father is a little angry. ”

She stuck out her tongue, and after making sure that there was no one around, she leaned over to Xiaochuan's ear: "I know." ”

There was nothing to say during the whole process, and even Xiaochuan felt that the atmosphere was not good, so he obediently finished the meal and went outside to play.

After Cai Ling finished cleaning up the tableware, she asked tentatively, "Master." Would you rather drink Pu'er or Longjing? Yu Moyan ignored her, got up and walked to the front hall.

The next day, Yu Moyan advanced the human anatomy class, and Cai Ling did not have any psychological construction, and followed behind the Korean doctor. Outside the house, there were many apprentices and medical women, all of whom were looking forward to being able to enter and open their eyes.

As soon as I stepped into the house, I felt a chill of murder coming over me. A slightly chubby woman's corpse lay upright on the board, and Yu Moyan, who was wearing a moon-white robe with an expressionless face, stood on the side of the corpse with his hands in his hands. The only thing that was fortunate was that the corpse's face was obscured by a white silk cloth.

"I'll go!" Han Yizheng also shuddered, and said to himself: "Although she is a sinner, she can't do it." Let's let this girl make the first cut. ”

Cai Ling stood behind him, deliberately stepping on his boots, he stumbled, almost fell into the arms of the corpse, and was so frightened that he immediately screamed. It wasn't until Yu Moyan glanced at him coldly that he stood up straight and put on an appearance of humbly seeking advice.

"Xiao Han, you cut open your chest and let Song Er cut your abdomen." Yu Moyan pointed to two locations.

Doctor Han was explaining to Cai Ling with lip language, her hands kept shaking, and she only nodded perfunctorily.

Everything was bloody, and even if you think about it after a long time, you will feel uncomfortable, but Master said that he was used to seeing human body structure at the age of ten. She felt that her worship of Master had increased so much.

However, this autopsy made her clearly aware of the uterus and other women's organs, which could not be drawn in a book. After the study, Yu Moyan asked them to sew the various organs back into place, even the openings on the chest and abdomen were carefully sewn, and the three of them bowed to the corpse before stepping out of the hut one after another.

The crowd around the house immediately surrounded Han Yizheng and asked about the autopsy, Cai Ling only felt dizzy and uncomfortable, but Han Yizheng was full of spirit and talked endlessly, as if this experience was worth showing off. Turning his head, he saw that Yu Moyan was also looking at Han Yizheng, with an appreciative smile on the corner of his mouth. She was a little frustrated. It's okay not to compare, so it seems that it is clear who is studying medicine and who is here to mess around.

At noon, the Korean doctor was bringing dishes to the backyard, and she had no appetite at all, so she didn't even take off the veil, and sat quietly in front of the case. The Korean doctor was bringing the dish to her: "Song'er, come and taste this bowl of pig intestines." ”

Her mind was instantly filled with bloody intestines, and she rushed out of the house, squatting under the eaves, her stomach churning and vomiting.

Inside the room, Doctor Han was putting on an innocent expression, "Lord Yu, Xia Guan didn't mean it. After finishing speaking, he put down the pig's large intestine and came to Cai Ling's back again, snickering, "See if you dare to trip me in the future." ”

She was very frustrated, not because she was put on a show by Doctor Han, but more because Yu Moyan didn't come to care for a few words.

When others are confused about their studies, the Master will always say in a gentle and earnest manner: Don't be discouraged, everything will be fine.

But her master still ignored her, and didn't even raise his eyes to look at her.

In the evening, it rained lightly, she wrapped the quilt and squatted in the house to recite the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", the grandmother of the dining room came to knock on the door, and even said with a gesture, which means that the sheep in the backyard of the dining room she raised is about to give birth, and the fetal water flows out, but the lamb cannot be delivered for a long time.

She ran to the sheepfold as quickly as she could, and saw the ewes hunched over and outstretched, and from time to time she wailed in pain. She reached into the birth canal, only touched the lamb's buttocks, and couldn't pull it out, just as she didn't know what to do, Yu Moyan stood in front of her with the medicine box, and he handed her the mandala grass for anesthesia, a knife and scissors.

The caesarean section of the ewes was successful. Watching the lamb break out of the fetal membranes, stretch her legs, and open her eyes, she was suddenly so happy that she left tears, an unprecedented sense of accomplishment, which made her stumble in the sheepfold, and frightened the lambs in the pen.

"Master. Thank you for teaching me how to heal. The two walked side by side through the courtyard behind the main hall, and she whispered in his ear.

He looked at her with an umbrella in one hand and a wooden medicine box in the other, lowering his eyelashes. She hurriedly and obediently took the medicine box with both hands and held it in her arms, "You still hold the umbrella yourself, I can't reach it." ”

He had a free hand, just enough to take her under the umbrella, and she leaned firmly on his shoulder, and the corners of his lips curled into a smile, and his tone was extremely gentle: "It's your talent." ”

Master is finally willing to take care of me, and Master still praises me for my talent?

She said to herself. A flower had already bloomed on the little face under the veil, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked like the crescent moon tonight, and he raised his head to look at Yu Moyan: "Master, I promise you that I will never sneak out from now on." ”

"Hmm." Yu Moyan lowered his eyes and looked at her deeply.

Two days later, the little eunuch of the Hanging Arch Hall hurriedly came to ask for a doctor, saying that His Majesty could not afford to be sick.

Doctor Han was asking a few more words, and the little eunuch said: "In the rainy and windy weather of the sunset before, Your Majesty stood on the top of the Yuhua Pavilion for a long time and was reluctant to come down, I am afraid that I was infected with the wind chill at that time. ”

Cai Ling was sorting medicines, and suddenly stopped, the little eunuch glanced at her, and asked Han Yizheng tentatively: "Isn't this Song doctor a dumb girl?" It's like you can hear us. ”

"My father-in-law is too worried." Doctor Han hurriedly said, "I'll go and inform Lord Yu." ”

Cai Ling didn't have the heart to pick up the medicinal herbs, stood up and walked towards the door, but accidentally hit the corner of the table, the force was a little big, the elm's big table shook a few times, but she didn't say a word, didn't even glance at the injured thigh, and left silently.

"Tsk...... It's really a mute girl. Father-in-law muttered.
