Bamboo is rarely seen in the north, but there is a small piece of purple bamboo in the moon hermitage, and the rockery of Taihu Lake stone is exquisitely clear. Although it is a nunnery, the layout is small and exquisite, and the winding path is quiet. There was a room half-hidden behind a few linden trees, and before I could enter the door, I heard a cough.

The eunuch took the lead, bowed to the door and said, "Your Highness, I have invited the imperial doctor to see a doctor for Your Highness...... ”

"Let's go, I won't watch." There was a woman in the room, probably due to a long-term cough, and her voice was hoarse.

"This imperial doctor is not ordinary, his medical skills are excellent, Your Highness should take a look." The eunuch replied again to the door.

"Let's go!" There was only one word coming out of the room.

The eunuch didn't seem to hear it, and saluted Du Ling, "Imperial Doctor Du, please come in to see a doctor, our house is at the door, if you have any orders." ”

Du Ling hesitated, obviously the people in the room didn't want to see a doctor, this, go in like this, okay? The eunuch didn't let Du Ling hesitate for too long, and directly pushed open the door and made a gesture of please.

Du Ling went inside.

"This palace didn't let you in, go!" The words were accompanied by a non-stop coughing sound.

Du Ling looked at it, the room was not big, the tables and chairs were matched with the doors and windows, all of which were wood colored, without a little decoration, and it felt very elegant. There was a gauze tent hanging on a bed in the back, and the woman who spoke should be on the bed.

Du Ling cleared his throat and said carefully: "You, you are sick, it is not good if you are sick." I'm a doctor, can I take a look? ”

The woman in the gauze tent seemed to move, and there was no sound for a long time, and even the coughing tried her best to restrain it.

Du Ling walked to the gauze tent and continued: "I can't see a doctor just by cutting the pulse. See, smell, ask, and finally cut the pulse. Can I lift this tent? Seeing that there was no movement in the gauze tent, she was afraid that she would worry about her appearance and would not want to see outsiders, so she said intimately: "Don't worry, if you are sick, it is normal to have an ugly face and untidy clothes." I'm a doctor, and I'm going to see a doctor, so I'll look better when I'm cured. ”

Hearing a small cry coming from the tent, Du Ling asked worriedly, "Is it uncomfortable?" Let me see. ”

Du Ling carefully opened the gauze tent, and in the gauze tent, a plain-clothed woman was leaning on the bed with her long hair scattered, covering her mouth and crying quietly.

Du Ling looked at her in a daze, didn't move for a long time, and so did the woman, letting the tears flow. I only heard Du Ling's slightly trembling voice, and called uncertainly, "Okay?" ”

The woman nodded, and Du Ling sat down beside her, anxiously asking, "You, what's wrong with you?" How, how did you get sick? Without waiting for Zhaoyang to answer, he anxiously took her hand, looked at the pulse, and touched her forehead, "Wind cold." Okay, how long have you been sick? Why not? Hurriedly stood up, pulled the quilt over and carefully covered her. Seeing that there was paper and pen on the table, he grabbed it and wrote, and hurriedly handed it to the eunuch at the door after writing, and ordered: "This is the thing and medicine I want, I want the best, send it immediately!" ”

"Yes, Imperial Physician Du." The eunuch took the paper and ran away.

Du Ling returned and sat on the edge of the bed. Zhaoyang didn't say a word, but his eyes always followed Du Ling. Looking at Zhaoyang's sick face, Du Ling said bitterly: "Why are you so sick?" Seeing that Zhaoyang was still in tears, he hurriedly asked, "Isn't it very uncomfortable?" ”

Zhaoyang whispered: "You're not angry with me? ”

"I'm not mad at you." Du Ling hurriedly shook his head.

Zhaoyang said aggrievedly: "I'm sorry, I want to tell you, but、I really don't know how to say it." Do you forgive me? ”

"I'm not angry, really, really not angry. Okay, stop talking, your voice will be bad. "Du Ling is in a hurry.

Zhaoyang didn't listen to him, but still whispered: "I'm deaf and dumb, don't you dislike it?" ”

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it."

"Then, then I was taken captive by the Tartars, and my reputation was tarnished......."

"I know you're innocent, so I don't care what people say." Du Ling wanted to wipe her tears, but she couldn't find a handkerchief up and down, so she hurriedly wiped it gently with her sleeve.

Zhaoyang smiled, "Then let's go together." He added very lightly, "I'll marry you." ”

Du Ling was stunned for a moment, looked at her, reluctant and felt unable to agree, "I, I ......." ”

"Isn't it good?" Zhaoyang was in a hurry.

Du Ling seemed to be frightened, stood up, walked to the door, and walked back, completely at a loss.

Zhaoyang sat up and looked at him, tears were about to flow down again, "You, you don't want to?" ”

Du Ling shook his head, "I, I ......, I don't know." Hastily denied, "No, no, I, I, I don't even know what your name is?" ”

"Zhu Yanqi."

"Huh?" Du Ling is in chaos. Zhu, surname Zhu, princess, this is the princess's maiden name! Du Ling was at a loss, not knowing what to say or do.

Probably Zhaoyang also found out that Du Ling was scared, and finally smiled, "Then, now, I am your patient, you can see a doctor for me first." ”

Du Ling nodded, "Yes, you are a patient." He walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, carefully supporting Zhaoyang, "Lie down, you can't get cold anymore, obedient." ”

In the moon occultation hermitage, Du Ling decocted medicine, fed medicine, and even wrote a list of dietary therapy. Five days, not an inch.

Five days later, the chief eunuch came again and saluted Du Ling: "Her Royal Highness the princess's illness has improved, after all, this is the palace, and foreign men cannot live for a long time, and I also ask Imperial Doctor Du to leave the palace temporarily." ”

In the palace? This is the palace? In the past five days, Du Ling didn't think about this problem at all, and turned his head to look at Zhaoyang who was standing behind him, his eyes were full of indescribable emotions.

Zhaoyang stepped forward, "The main palace has not been restored...... ”

"Okay," Du Ling interrupted her, "No, Her Royal Highness ...... Princess." When these four words were spoken, the expressions of the two changed, as if they were unwilling to accept it. After a pause, Du Ling continued, "I, I should go out, I want to report safety to my senior brother and Ah Jin." Also, Ah San is still ...... prison. ”

"I understand." Zhaoyang wanted to cry again, endured it, and said to the big eunuch: "Du Gongzi's entourage is still in prison?" ”

"This, back to Your Highness, the slave maid has never asked."

"Let him out, don't lock him up anymore." Zhaoyang commanded.

"Yes, slave and maid will do it."

Zhaoyang was very reluctant, and said to Du Ling: "My illness is not well yet, you have to come for a follow-up." ”

Du Ling nodded, "I will." You have to remember to take your medicine and get some rest. ”

The two looked at each other silently and stopped talking. The big eunuch couldn't wait, and urged again and again, Du Ling finally left extremely reluctantly.

**********

Du Ling sat in the carriage and watched the palace wall get farther and farther away, as if he had returned from the fairy world to the mortal world at once, he was mortal and good was an immortal.

I thought it would be enough to take him out of the palace, but I didn't know that I passed through a few markets and sent him to a small house. The chief eunuch saluted him and said, "Imperial Doctor Du will stay here for the time being." Tell the steward to use all the uses. If there is any negligence, please also ask Dr. Du to take care of it. ”

The old butler was very old, and his ears were still very hard of hearing, and he stood aside, only smiling. The whole house, front and back, in addition to this old housekeeper, there is also an old servant woman who can't open her eyes, who is responsible for cooking.

It wasn't until Du Ling stayed here for three days that he realized he was under house arrest. The letter written cannot be sent, the door is locked, and all daily needs should be delivered. In order to verify, Du Ling also deliberately wrote a few less common medicines and asked them to be sent, the reason is, of course, for Hao'er's illness. Sure enough, it was delivered in half a day.

This made Du Ling anxious, after so many days, I don't know if Ah San is good or not, senior brother and Ah Jin have not had their whereabouts for so long, they must be in a hurry. What to do?

However, Du Ling only spent one day in anxiety before he saw a person - Ah San. Ah Sanyi was dressed in a brocade guard uniform, which frightened Du Ling.

"Du Gongzi, below is the general banner of Jinyi Wei, not a servant of the Nangong clan. In the name of the Nangong clan, it is to be able to follow the son. ”

The first sentence of Ah San's meeting was very problematic. Du Ling looked at Ah San half puzzled and half frightened. Ah San was very satisfied with his performance, and simply walked to the window and opened it, although he didn't close the door when he entered.

Du Ling was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he didn't dare to answer, but just looked at him weakly and nodded.

"I'm here to tell Childe that everything is under our control...... Ah San suddenly turned his head and looked at Du Ling and shook his head solemnly. Then he turned back to look out the window, "In addition, Childe's senior brother has arrived in the capital, and Childe can see him if he wants." However, I will be by Childe's side in the next. ”

"Yes, can I see it?" Du Ling asked cautiously.

"Yes. As long as he is not in the palace, Du Gongzi is responsible for us. Ah San didn't say this to Du Ling, but looked out the window.

"Alright." Ah San walked back to Du Ling's side, patted him on the shoulder, casually stuffed a note into his shirt, and said with a smile: "We are also in the same difficulty, I will come often when I have time in the future, so I should make a good fate." After saying that, he smiled and left.

Du Ling didn't rush to read the note, but waited for several hours, pretending to go to the toilet. In the note was a few words of advice, 'Don't go back to the hospital; Do not accept any official position or property; Temporarily asked to stay in Beijing. ’

The days that followed were unusually simple, as simple as nothing to do. Du Ling was thinking about her all the time, thinking about what she was doing, thinking about whether she was cured, and whether she was thinking about herself. However, Ah San did not break his promise, and the senior brother came.

I don't know if it's a relationship between Ah San and a brocade dress and a guard costume standing aside, Zhuang Junxian just kept telling him to be obedient, don't worry, everything is with the senior brother.

Zhuang Junxian sat for a quarter of an hour, and the two seemed to have a thousand words, but finally didn't say anything. Du Ling sent Zhuang Junxian away, looked up at the small courtyard patio, and wanted to cry. After a while, he finally didn't cry, and the corners of his mouth cracked open to reveal a smile.

It doesn't matter, I still have to change my senior brother's recipe, and I have to try Bigu Dan to come out. Although the yard is small, you can send everything you want, which is good. Just be around and do it together. It doesn't matter, Senior Brother, Master Qian, including Ah Jin, must be trying to find a way to take him out, and they will definitely see him again! Also, the next time you have the opportunity to see your brother again, you must tell your brother that you want to marry a good man!

Du Ling looked at the sky with a smile, and silently shouted in his heart, I want to marry a good son! Not a princess! My son, not a princess!
