To the north, thousands of miles away, the capital of Haoguo, the capital of Beijing.

The moon is in the sky, and the stars are dotted. Below, a few inconspicuous birds fluttered their wings and chirped past, tilting their heads to look at the busy people on the ground.

"Knock Knock Knock ~ Knock Knock"

Under the moonlight, a man dressed as a eunuch came from the west of the city, deftly avoiding the patrolling soldiers, came to the back door of a dark mansion, and knocked lightly.

After a while, the wooden door opened, half-hidden. A man emerged from within, with a gloomy face.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and did not speak, but the eunuch's servant quickly handed over a secret letter in his arms to the latter, and then looked left and right, and when he saw that there was nothing abnormal, he left in a hurry.

It comes and goes quickly, as if it never appeared.

The person in the wooden door was also unambiguous, closed the wooden door lightly, and walked reflexively to the master bedroom.

"Sir, there's something over there." The man bowed his head and said to the man in the master bedroom.

After finishing speaking, the man in the room slowly got up, patted the tender buttocks of the concubine lying on one side, and got out of bed with satisfaction in the concubine's resentful eyes.

Shi Song put on a single coat, rubbed his somewhat sore waist, pushed open the door, took the secret letter in the hand of the person outside the door, and said, "Lao Zhao, you go and call Shifan to the study." ”

With that, Steward Zhao bowed his head and left quickly. He knows the temperament of the master of this family, if he says that the companion is like a tiger, then the companion Shi Song is tantamount to a jackal.

Under the moonlight, Steward Zhao's figure quickly disappeared.

Shi Song opened the secret letter, accompanied by the moonlight, and saw a few small characters written on it:

The medical saint Sun Miao, there is a disciple in Suzhou!

The medical saint Sun Miao, who studied medicine since childhood, is said to have the ability to live the flesh and bones of the dead, and his medical skills are unmatched, but he has never heard of him accepting apprentices. Now that there is suddenly such an apprentice, and it appears at this time, it is a little interesting.

But it's not a bad thing, now the emperor's favorite daughter, Princess Changle is seriously ill, and the imperial doctors are helpless, so they seized this opportunity and brought the apprentice of the medical saint to treat the princess, and if she is cured, she has to be more important to the emperor, and if she can't be cured, you don't have to panic, there is his master Sun Miao to take over, and if he can't do it, he can let the two of them take the blame.

Regardless of whether the doctor is good or not, he will not suffer a loss, but just send some people to Suzhou, why not do such a deal.

Walking to the study, the candles had been lit inside, and his son Shi Shifan and Steward Zhao were in the house.

"Dad, what's the matter, call me here at night." Shi Shifan was sleepy-eyed and said impatiently.

If you take a closer look, you will find that the young master of the Shi family, Shi Shifan, is blind.

Just now, he was holding the five concubines Wushan Yunyu and his affection, but he was suddenly interrupted by Steward Zhao, and he couldn't help but feel upset.

"Don't soak in the women's pile all day long, there must be something wrong with calling you here, take it, see what you say." Shi Song, who knew his son's temperament, had no choice but to push the secret letter in his hand over. Although he was blind and crippled his leg, this child was born intelligent and quite talented.

Shi Shifan took the secret letter, looked at it casually, and said, "If the news is accurate, it is an opportunity. It is estimated that he also got the news over there, and his father might as well take the last straw that overwhelmed him. ”

"That's what a father thinks, too." Shi Song took his hand and said, "I asked that old friend in the factory to intercept this news, but Fan Er thinks it is appropriate to send someone to walk." ”

"Isn't Steward Zhao's hometown over there in Jiangnan Province, just let him go." Shi Shifan yawned and said decadently.

"Yes, then Steward Zhao, you can go on a trip." Shi Song took out a piece of paper, wrote it a few times, then stamped it with a big seal and handed it to Steward Zhao, and said, "You go and prepare, take my handwritten documents, and go out of the city overnight, remember to bring back the apprentice of the medical saint to me before that person." ”

Steward Zhao took the paperwork, bowed his head and agreed, and hurriedly retreated.

"Daddy, it's okay, I'll go back to sleep." Shi Shifan said. The tone is slightly languid.

After that, seeing Shi Song nodding, he limped out. Before he went out, he heard behind him, Shi Song said lightly:

"It's okay, don't hang out with people who have no roots."

Shi Shifan stopped, his face surprised. But he quickly reacted, didn't answer, and limped away. Shi Song was left alone, with a gloomy face, not knowing what to think.

……

At the same time, on the street adjacent to Shifu, it is also a mansion, but it is less gorgeous, less gloomy, and less people who deliver letters outside the door.

It's the same study, but the difference is that the candles lit in the study run out of oil.

"Knock Knock"

Outside the door, a chubby scholar with a strong body stood.

"Come in." The middle-aged man sitting at the desk in the room said as he wrote on a piece of paper.

The scholar pushed open the door, saw that the candlelight was about to run out, walked over softly, changed it unhurriedly, and then walked to the desk, arched his hand, and said respectfully, "Yu Gong, what is the matter with Chen." ”

"Midnight, have you heard about the princess being seriously ill?" Yu Kangzhi stamped the documents on the table with a big seal, then raised his head and said to Chen Ziye.

"I've heard of it."

"You. I've heard everything. Yu Kangzhi smiled, "By the way, how many years have you been in the house?" ”

"I entered the house at the age of twenty-seven at midnight, and it has been five years since then." Chen Ziye pondered for a moment and replied suspiciously. He didn't know why the man in front of him suddenly talked about it.

"Now I have an errand that wants to trouble you, don't you know?"

"Yu Gong, please speak."

Yu Kangzhi folded the Chinese book in his hand and handed it to Chen Ziye, who did not hesitate and quickly took it.

"Please go to Suzhou to help me pick up someone." Yu Kangzhi walked up to Chen Ziye, helped the latter up, and said, "The righteous son of the Chu family in Suzhou, Li Xiao." ”

"Li Xiao? Yu Gong ......"

"No need to ask, just pick it up." Yu Kangzhi said with a smile, "Go, go out of the city tonight, go early and return early." ”

Chen Ziye responded, not to guess what the middle-aged man in front of him thought, he used to enter the house with Yu Gong's literary talent, and wanted to use this to show his talents, but just five years have passed, Yu Gong's momentum has become weaker and weaker, and it has gradually dissipated, and it is difficult to exert his enthusiasm.

Maybe that's fate.

He bowed his head and left the study.

Shortly after waiting for Chen Ziye to leave, Yu Kangzhi, who was standing with his hands in his hands, suddenly spoke: "Mr. Cui, this time, how sure can you be?" ”

After a while, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him, yin and yang, "Xiangye can rest assured, although Cui is not as skilled as his senior brother's medical skills, his ability to poison is still not weak." ”

"I just can't see it, Xiangye's heart is also like this seat, ruthless, and unruly."

Yu Kangzhi sighed, sat down in a chair decadently, and stopped talking.

……

The carriages of the two prefectures soon left the city, and the soldiers guarding the city looked through the papers, and when they saw the big seal on it, they immediately let it go, not daring to do much to stop it. I just wondered what happened to the people of these two families tonight, in a hurry, if it wasn't for something big happening. However, the affairs of these dignitaries and nobles are not something they can speculate, just turn a blind eye.

For them, it is already impossible to be awarded an official title, and the only thing they can obtain in this life is to find a way to go to the most solemn palace in the distance to run errands.

Resplendent buildings, lights up all night long.

This is the capital city of Haoguo, where His Majesty the supreme emperor lives.

As early as more than ten years ago, when His Majesty ascended the throne, he immediately renovated the imperial palace, and the imperial study, which is the emperor's daily errand, is the top priority.

Not only did he add a few rows of bookshelves, but he also built a small attic on the basis of the original, and as for what was placed in the attic, only His Majesty knew.

At this time, in the imperial study, the emperor in a casual dragon robe looked at the music in his hand, and said to his childhood playmate sitting on the side: "Qinghou, what do you think of this heir of the medical saint in Suzhou?" ”

Lu Qinghou looked at the two lines of small words on the secret letter in his hand, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "Although I don't know if the news is true, I don't miss a chance, the sick doctors of Changle's child are helpless, maybe this medical saint can have a way." ”

The emperor rubbed his sore head, put down the tired piece in his hand, and said, "The people from Shifu and Yufu have already left the city, and you said it would be better for them to pick them up." ”

Lu Qinghou took the hot tea presented by the eunuch, paused for a while, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Shifu is strong and can't add more chips. The Yu Mansion is weak, but if they are allowed to take it, it is estimated that the Shifu faction will block it, and the situation will be unbearable at that time. Presumably, my friend from his youth, can also see this.

"By the way, I haven't been back to Yizhou for so many years, so I'm thinking about it a little." His Majesty turned the pen with dry ink in his hand and said, "I remember that I put something in the palace, which is quite unusual, I see that you have been fine lately, why don't you take a trip?" ”

After listening, Lu Qinghou also thought of that thing, it was quite strange, he once found it from the mountains with His Majesty, and put it in the palace for so many years, he almost forgot it.

"By Your Majesty's will."

"Haha, you, it's still like this, okay, then I'll give you a decree, so that you don't have to be crooked."

Lu Qinghou laughed, and then followed the eunuch who wrote and left the imperial study.

Looking at the back of Lu Qinghou, and then looking at the mountains of music in front of him, the emperor in the prime of life couldn't help but scold. It is said that it is good to be an emperor, a woman in three palaces and six courts, countless money, and the power to cover the sky with one hand.

But how do you feel, today's days are not as comfortable as when they were exiled to Yizhou.

The emperor looked at the secret scroll in his hand and suddenly showed a smile that he had not seen for a long time, "I wonder if this child who likes to tell stories can bring surprises to me and my Jingshi." ”

"I'm waiting for you here."
