Ruan Qingzhi admits that she is not a doctor, and she does not like to do such things as "door-to-door consultation".

Unexpectedly, the people in Qingwangfu were extremely tenacious, and they sent three posts in one afternoon, so she really couldn't find a reason to refuse, so she had to reluctantly agree.

So in the evening of the same day, Ruan Qingzhi reluctantly got into the carriage to Qingwang's Mansion.

Ye Han originally insisted on going with her, but it happened that the second prince suddenly came to visit, so he couldn't get out of it for a while, so he had to arrange for Cheng Hu, Li San and others to follow Ruan Qingzhi to protect him.

Before leaving, Ye Han told the guards not to leave an inch, as if Ruan Qingzhi was not going to Qingwang's Mansion, but to Longtan Tiger's Den.

Ruan Qingzhi complained all the way that Ye Han's temperament was getting more and more sticky, not like a military general who fought and killed, but like a chattering teacher.

But after the carriage stopped at the gate of King Qing's mansion, Ruan Qingzhi stopped complaining.

She didn't rush in, she stood at the bottom of the stairs and looked at the two big wolf dogs at the door, one on the left and one on the right, and the two little guys sitting on the steps with their hands in hand, and narrowed her eyes.

Not to mention, this Qingwang Mansion is really like the Longtan Tiger's Den.

Cheng Hu walked over quickly and reminded in a low voice: "Miss, it's not right!" ”

"What, you noticed the murderous aura?" Ruan Qingzhi asked half-jokingly.

Cheng Hu tightened his brows and hesitated: "I can't say clearly, I just feel that something is wrong." Miss, why don't we go back! You didn't eat the money of the hospital, why should you be sent by them! ”

Someone from inside the door had already greeted him while speaking, and Ruan Qingzhi smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll go and see what's inside, and I should explore the reality of King Qing's Mansion for your Highness." ”

What came out of the palace was an old butler with gray temples, his voice was a little strange, about a eunuch, and as soon as he opened his mouth, there was a series of ouches: "Ouch, ouch, my county lord, you are finally here, Your Highness hopes that you are really looking forward to it!" ”

"Don't autumn water yet," Ruan Qingzhi frowned, "It's such a cold day, the autumn water is already frozen, so hurry up and take me to see your princess." ”

"Oops!" The old butler agreed repeatedly, leading the way in front, and his legs and feet were extremely sharp.

Ruan Qingzhi walked not fast, stood in front of the threshold and paused again, and asked casually: "There are stone lions at the door of other people's houses, why is His Royal Highness King Qing so different, and he wants to use wolf dogs to come to the town?" ”

The stone lion is to prevent evil spirits, but the wolf dog is aimed at people.

The old butler stood at the door respectfully and said with a smile: "County Lord, don't you know, our Highness is in this situation...... There are few people in Beijing who treat him as a nobleman in the day, and there are no nobles in his daily life, and after a long time, the nearby Diao people will inevitably have some crooked thoughts, and the princess really can't ask someone to raise two dogs to watch the family's nursing home, and barely want to have peace of mind. ”

Ruan Qingzhi frowned, raised his feet and crossed the threshold: "No matter how you say it, you are the eldest son of Your Majesty, and the situation is so difficult, don't you care about the palace?" ”

The old housekeeper sighed for a long time, walked two steps faster, and found that Ruan Qingzhi couldn't keep up, so he had to retreat again, and sneered: "After starting a family, where can you blindly rely on the palace?" It's a shame for our Highness...... Alas, most of the princesses have been supporting them inside and outside these years, and now they ......"

He sighed again before he finished speaking, obviously the content behind was unlucky and could not be spoken.

Ruan Qingzhi pondered carefully all the way and didn't say anything more.

The Qing Palace's Mansion is not the same as the "Palace" in Ruan Qingzhi's impression. It's too simple, except for the gate that's barely a bit magnificent, and the inside really has nothing to do with the word "rich".

The promenade is covered with straw, and the places on both sides that should be flower beds are actually bamboo fences, and there are only a few flowers and plants in it, and the rest of the large area is empty, which looks like a farmer's vegetable garden empty in winter.

Looking at the whole house, there is not even a rockery pond and marsh, so shabby that Ruan Qingzhi wants to stop and ask first: Can you pay the consultation fee first?

The old butler didn't look back, but he magically sensed Ruan Qingzhi's worries, and hurriedly explained: "Actually, there have always been a lot of money and rewards in the palace over the years, but His Highness's legs need a long-term medicinal bath, so no matter how much money is spent, it is spent on those precious medicinal materials. In our house, we can save money elsewhere, but we don't dare to save money at all when it comes to seeking medical advice. ”

Ruan Qingzhi quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, asked no more questions, and followed the old housekeeper all the way into the flower hall.

At this time, the lights had been lit in the flower hall, and King Qing's face was thin and pale under the candlelight, and he was actually quite good-looking.

It's just—

Ruan Qingzhi narrowed his eyes and looked this person up and down, frowning.

The temperament of the whole person is too tough, and he does not look like a person with limited mobility. Unless the leg disease is fake, it must be insisted on exercising the spine and arm strength every day, and it will be extremely strict with yourself.

The emperor's eldest son, Qingwang Lingyun, lived in a simple house due to illness, had a gentle and cowardly temperament, and was the most inconspicuous of the nine princes?

Ruan Qingzhi hooked his lips and smiled, and saluted: "His Royal Highness King Qing." ”

Ling Yun immediately waved his hand to excuse him, with a worried expression: "Lord Qingyang, Xiao Wang really has no other way to think of it, so I can only ask you to take a look...... Uchiko suddenly fell ill the day before yesterday, and the hospital initially said that it was not a major symptom, but who knew that the more it was treated, the worse it became, it was really ......"

Ruan Qingzhi looked at the sky and waved his hand to interrupt him: "Since it is a sudden illness, then take me to see the princess as soon as possible!" ”

Ling Yun hurriedly instructed the maid to lead the way, and he was pushed by the little maid in a wheelchair and accompanied by him, and roughly told the symptoms and medicines he had taken in the past few days as he walked.

If it is really a person who has been ill for a long time, he is really proficient in medicine.

Ruan Qingzhi listened carefully, and did not interject at first. It wasn't until Ling Yun finished speaking that she asked in a deep voice, "Since the princess has been sick for a few days, why didn't you mention it at the palace banquet yesterday?" ”

Ling Yun sighed, his face was a little red: "There is a banquet in the palace, how dare Xiao Wang disappoint the fun." And this illness suddenly became serious last night, during the palace banquet...... Xiao Wang really didn't expect to be so sick. ”

As she spoke, the maidservant had led her through the door. Cheng Hu and Li San couldn't follow up, so they had to guard outside the door, and their faces couldn't help but be a little worried.

Seeing this, Ling Yun asked, "These guards are so cautious, are they the third brother's people?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi replied lightly, "My person", and then followed the maid to the side of the bed and looked at the woman lying in the tent.

Princess Qing's age should be about the same as that of King Qing, but at the moment her face is haggard, she looks extremely old, looking like a person in her forties, and her sick appearance is very pitiful.

There were two imperial doctors waiting in the room, and when they saw Ruan Qingzhi coming in, they all had a little unkind expression on their faces.

One of them couldn't help but sneer: "I don't know where I got Zhang Fangzi to solve Yangcheng's difficulty by mistake, and I really think I am a doctor?" It's child's play! ”

Ruan Qingzhi's life creed did not have the concept of "not seeing like villains", so he rolled his eyes on the spot: "It will not be more childish than you using licorice rhubarb, a completely useless herb, to pretend to be a life-saving cure!" ”

The faces of the two imperial doctors suddenly became even more ugly, and they glanced at each other, not daring to argue with her.

Of course, the medicine boiled on the stove in this room is not only hay and rhubarb, but several important medicinal materials are mutually reinforcing, and when mixed together, there is really no medicinal effect at all. They were very cautious, and they could even deceive King Qing, an old medicine jar, but they didn't expect Ruan Qingzhi to see through it at a glance.

Just that sentence just now has seen the foundation, and the more the two imperial doctors think about it, the more shocked they feel.

At this time, Princess Qing found out that someone was coming, and she wanted to get up and greet Gu Quanli, but Ruan Qingzhi pressed back: "Don't mess with your body when you're sick." ”

"Yes." Princess Qing lowered her eyes and agreed, extremely obedient.

Thinking that Ruan Qingzhi didn't diagnose the pulse, he unceremoniously stepped forward and opened her mouth to look at the tongue coating, and then asked for a silver needle, which pierced her fingertips directly.

"Lord Qingyang, what are you doing here?" A doctor next to him asked with a cold face.

Ruan Qingzhi pulled out the silver needle and glanced at it, and said coldly: "I didn't do anything." I just want to ask you, after so many days, no one can see that it is poisoning? ”

"Poisoned? No way! The two doctors spoke in unison.

Ruan Qingzhi sneered: "It may be impossible, so let's leave it at that." Let's prescribe our own prescriptions and boil our own medicines, and leave the rest to His Royal Highness and the princess to decide! ”

The two imperial doctors originally wanted to ask how they saw the poisoning, but they were blocked by this sentence, and they couldn't ask for it, so they had to go back and sulk.

Princess Qing hurriedly said: "Inviting the county lord to come is the concubine's own idea." It's not that I can't believe in the medical skills of the two imperial doctors, it's just that the imperial doctors are used to it in the palace, and the prescriptions used are inevitably safe, but I can't be sick for a long time, so I want to ask the county lord if there is a way to make the concubine get better faster. ”

"Yes," Ruan Qingzhi picked up the pen and began to write the prescription, "Poisoning is not illness, if you drink a dose of medicine, you will be cured immediately." However, your body has been tossed by the medicine a lot, and if you want to return to normal, you still need to recuperate carefully for a period of time. ”

Princess Qing was overjoyed and grateful.

Ling Yun also came over to thank him, and after receiving the prescription, he had to arrange for someone to decoct the medicine.

Ruan Qingzhi raised his hand to stop it, and said coldly: "Let my people accompany me." Since there are people in this mansion who dare to poison the princess, it may not be that no one dares to do anything in my medicine. His Royal Highness King Qing, I don't want to carry this black cauldron. ”

Ling Yun said again and again that he really arranged for a maid to take Cheng Hu to get the medicine, and he didn't care about Ruan Qingzhi's cold attitude, just thank you.

Ruan Qingzhi didn't like to talk to him, so he just carefully observed the people in this room, although he couldn't see anything for a while, he always felt that something was wrong.

Later, a doctor reminded him: "If it is really poisoned, then it should be investigated!" Lord Qingyang, you said that the princess was poisoned, you may be able to see what kind of poison is in it, and how is it poisoned? ”

Ruan Qingzhi said coldly: "I can't see it." ”

The imperial doctor was choked again, and he was about to turn his face on the spot, but Ruan Qingzhi looked at Ling Yun again: "Your Highness, don't you check?" ”

"This, naturally, has to be investigated," Ling Yun looked embarrassed, "...... It's just that the princess has always served as trustworthy people, not to mention that the poisoning was a few days ago, and now I am afraid that there is no way to investigate. It's better to wait for the princess to get better......"

Ruan Qingzhi looked at him and frowned.

At this time, this appearance of the mud is quite in line with his image outside, but he always feels a little inconsistent.

Moreover, even if it's not easy to check, you can't help but check it, right? He doesn't have the ability to investigate himself, can't he lock up the most suspicious people first and replace a group of people to serve the princess?

Since she cares so much about the life and death of the princess, how dare she continue to be exposed to danger?

Ruan Qingzhi came with suspicion, so looking at this matter at the moment, he only felt that something was wrong everywhere.

The little maid came to report that the housekeeper had personally boiled the medicine in the wing, and Cheng Hu was by her side, so she could rest assured.

Qingwang Lingyun's face was even more joyful, but Ruan Qingzhi only felt irritable.

If the people in Qingwangfu were reliable, she could have left directly after prescribing the medicine. But King Qing didn't plan to do anything, so she could only spend it here.

Otherwise, if someone does anything in the medicine, she may not be able to afford the charge of "murdering the princess".

After all, the emperor was waiting to pull her and Ye Han's pigtails.

This visit is simply asking for trouble!

Ling Yun said for a long time and finally realized that Ruan Qingzhi was in a bad mood, and hurriedly blamed himself: "It's all my fault, I only care about my own happiness, I forgot that the county lord came from afar, and I didn't even drink a cup of tea." It will take a little time to decoction, Xiao Wang took the liberty and asked the county lord to go to the warm pavilion for a short rest, and the house prepared refreshments......"

Ruan Qingzhi agreed indiscriminately, and followed the maids out to the warm pavilion, and Li San was still guarding the door.

Sure enough, as the old housekeeper said, Qingwangfu was quite polite to the doctor. After a while, not only tea and snacks were delivered, but also food was brought in, and I finally remembered that it was time to eat.

Ruan Qingzhi saw that although the meal was not rich, it could barely be regarded as exquisite, and his mood finally improved, and he instructed: "Remember to send some food to my guards, they are quite pitiful." ”

The maidservants agreed and withdrew, and then there was no movement.

Ruan Qingzhi lifted the chopsticks and was about to eat, when his face suddenly changed, and he threw the chopsticks out: "Li San!" ”

No one answered the door.

Ruan Qingzhi was startled, and immediately got up to open the door, but saw two tall figures standing outside the door, blocking her way.

Of course, those two were not Cheng Hu and Li San.

Ruan Qingzhi sneered: "What is this? Is the hospitality of the Qingwang Mansion? ”

"County Lord forgiveness," Ling Yun's gentle voice came from the path next to him, "Xiao Wang just hopes that you can eat in peace and not be disturbed." ”

"Feel free to use your toppings?" Ruan Qingzhi asked.

Ling Yun turned his wheelchair and walked in front of him, looking puzzled: "Added materials?" Did the county lord say that there was a problem with the food delivered? Ignorance...... What's added? ”

"Don't play dumb with me!" Ruan Qingzhi sneered, "His Royal Highness King Qing, I believe it was an accident that one dish was added, and two dishes were added, I believe it was a villain who attacked me because he didn't want to save Princess Qing, and now there are problems with this table full of dishes, who do you think I should suspect?" Could it be that all the cooks in your Qingwang Mansion are villains? Or do all the handmaidens want to kill me? ”

Ling Yun frowned and said nothing, the corners of his lips curled slightly.

That's the default.

Ruan Qingzhi casually pulled out the sharp knife on his waist, and his expression was cold: "I'm curious, who told you that you can use poison to calculate a doctor?" ”

"But how could it be discovered? That poison is colorless and tasteless. Ling Yun frowned, looking distressed.

Ruan Qingzhi just clenched the sharp knife tightly, and didn't even want to answer.

Colorless and odorless? Who said that it takes color and smell to distinguish poison? If she is so stupid, what kind of medicine will she study!

Ling Yun saw Ruan Qingzhi's hostility, and smiled even deeper: "The county lord doesn't have to be like this. Xiao Wang didn't have any malicious intent, he just wanted to ask the county lord to stay here for a few days. ”

"Okay." Ruan Qingzhi pulled the sharp knife in his hand, "At this point, someone will definitely sleep here, it depends on whether His Highness has the ability to keep me!" ”

Ling Yun smiled: "A girl's family, what does it look like to fight and kill!" And your sharp knife—"

Before he finished speaking, the sharp knife in Ruan Qingzhi's hand had stabbed into the back of a black-clothed guard, not aimed at the vital point, but it destroyed one of the man's arms in an instant.

The other was taken aback and quickly turned around and pounced. Ruan Qingzhi dodged and dodged, holding a sharp knife to confront him, but he did not fall behind at all.

Ling Yun was a little stunned, and only after a while did he say, "No one has ever said that Miss Ruan is actually extraordinary. How many skills do you still have hidden that people don't know? ”

Ruan Qingzhi was not interested in answering his words, and unloaded the arm of the second person three times and twice, and jumped up and went straight to Lingyun.

The sharp knife was aimed at his neck.

Ruan Qingzhi hates others for calculating her the most, so she doesn't plan to endure this tone. Even if she was punished by the Heavenly Dao, she admitted it!

However, in the end, she did not get her wish.

More than a dozen black-clothed guards flashed ghostly behind Ling Yun, not only protecting him tightly behind him, but also aiming his long knives at her.

Short blades are very disadvantageous in hand-to-hand combat, and there is no chance of winning with one person against many people.

Ruan Qingzhi's heart was slightly subordinate, and his face gradually became solemn.

At this time, Ling Yun, who was hiding behind the people, smiled again, and his tone was still gentle: "What is the county lord doing?" You're here to save Uchiko's life, why are you making such a fuss? Xiao Wang really just wants to keep you here temporarily, what do you have to say, let's go back to the pavilion and say, how about it? ”

Ruan Qingzhi looked at the long knives in the hands of the black-clothed guards and agreed.

She has no way outside, and there may be a chance to enter the warm pavilion, he can't put so many people in.

"Your Highness, please first." Ruan Qingzhi said coldly.

With that, he turned sideways and got out of the way.

Ling Yun was indeed supported by a guard and slowly entered the warm pavilion.

Ruan Qingzhi was held back by more than a dozen long knives, and he was powerless to resist, so he had to follow in.

The door closed behind her. Footsteps outside were uniform, and it was clear that the guards had surrounded the small warm pavilion.

Ruan Qingzhi looked back at Ling Yun.

He brought six men in, and they were very tightly surrounded in front and back, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Seeing this, Ruan Qingzhi felt even more disdain. However, after a little thought, she couldn't laugh even more.

An idle king who lives in seclusion due to illness and has no quarrel with the world, and a dispensable existence in the eyes of the world, how can he raise so many skilled guards in the mansion?

Or you can also ask the other way around: A person who has raised many masters in the mansion will really have no quarrel with the world?

"His Royal Highness King Qing, it's hidden." Ruan Qingzhi sneered coldly.

Ling Yun smiled humbly and replied seriously: "It's just a small means to save his life, but it makes the county lord smile." ”

Ruan Qingzhi didn't dare to laugh.

This is not a "small means to save life", but "the accumulation of private soldiers", which is a felony.

At the same time, this must also be a hole card of Lingyun. Exposed to her at this moment, there are only two ends for her: one is to join his camp, and the other is to die.

Ruan Qingzhi pinched the sharp knife and sat down: "I don't know how to go around the bend. If Your Highness has anything to say, say it clearly. ”

"Do you want to say that?" Ling Yun smiled again, looking very honest: "County Lord, what do you think...... How is this king better than the third brother? ”

Ruan Qingzhi was stunned, and then laughed: "Do you want to compare with him?" ”

Ling Yun nodded seriously.

Ruan Qingzhi propped his hands on the table, and smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Yes, brothers, it doesn't hurt to compare." In my opinion, you two have their own strengths and weaknesses, and they are equally divided. ”

"Oh?" Ling Yun was a little surprised.

Ruan Qingzhi sat up straight and looked at him: "On martial arts, on loving the people, on strategy, on wisdom, and even on appearance, you don't deserve to be compared with him, and comparing the two of you together is an insult to him." ”

Ling Yun's face, which had just been a little relaxed, tightened up again, and his smile was a little gloomy.

Ruan Qingzhi added before he got angry: "However, on the insidious and vicious, on the wolf's heart and dog's lungs, on daydreaming, and on the tumor growing in the brain, King Li can't catch up with you." ”

"You!" Ling Yun's face sank, and then he sneered: "He's that good?" But no matter how clever he is, isn't it too late to save you at this time? ”

When the word "save" is mentioned, it is a tear of the face. Although I didn't have much face originally.

Ling Yun lowered his head and smiled, his eyes narrowed: "Lord Qingyang, you only have two choices today: one is to die, and the other is to ...... Marry me. ”

Ruan Qingzhi had already guessed that he would say this, but he still laughed exaggeratedly: "Hahaha...... Did I hear me right? Please, Your Royal Highness, could it be that it is not Princess Qing who is going to die of poisoning, but yourself? ”

"This king is not crazy." Ling Yun said coldly, "Lord Qingyang, what you want, only this king can give you." The third brother has no hope. ”

"Ahh Ruan Qingzhi exaggeratedly exclaimed, "Your Highness also looks down on yourself too much, right?" I want the best man in the world, you say you can give it to me? Where? Where? Do you have Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Er Mazi next to you? Don't even say it, the big brother pushing the wheelchair behind you is better looking than you! ”

Ling Yun was ridiculed enough, and his face finally became completely gloomy: "Little girl, this king's patience is limited, you don't want to toast and eat and drink!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi slapped the table and flew up: "Your aunt didn't want to eat your wine at all!" ”

The sharp knife went straight to the door of Ling Yunmian, and the black-clothed guard next to him hurriedly stepped forward to block, and there was suddenly a sword light and sword shadow in the small warm pavilion.

Ruan Qingzhi was ruthless.

The length of the sharp knife was not enough to hold the opponent, so she simply used her body as a knife, desperately burrowed into those knife shadows, and attacked the enemy's vital points from an extremely tricky angle, not missing any chance to kill with one blow.

Fuck it. Staying alive is the right way for her in the world!

This style of play, even the black-clothed guards who are dead soldiers are a little apprehensive. Ruan Qingzhi finally found an opportunity, the sharp knife flashed coldly, and rushed straight to Ling Yunmian: "Traitor, you should die!" ”
