138 Thou art returned

The national teacher asked Lin Ziyi with a glimmer of hope: "The person you are talking about is ......?"

The corners of Lin Ziyi's mouth turned up: "Isn't it the evil one you drove away?" ”

National Teacher: "......"

"Don't you know that if it weren't for her, the emperor would have died a year ago, and with the ability of the national teacher, would you not know that His Royal Highness the Prince, who was in a wheelchair at the time, had already been poisoned into the bone marrow and was hopeless? It was the evil demon girl in your mouth who saved him, but unfortunately, this life-saving benefactor was driven away by you, and the emperor's life must be returned. ”

"Shut up!" The national teacher shouted uncontrollably, and then forced himself to calm down and return to his arrogant posture, "Even if there was no her at that time, this seat would have a way to save the emperor." ”

"Since the national teacher is so powerful, please treat the emperor well, Weichen is grateful!"

The national teacher snorted, looked deeply at the unconscious emperor on the bed, and then flicked his sleeves and left.

Later, Lin Ziyi learned that the national teacher actually wanted the emperor to take forbidden medicine.

Lin Zi also protested to the national teacher, wouldn't taking that medicine make the emperor a monster who has no mind and can only rely on instinct to suck blood? Oh yes, the only good thing is to completely obey the command of the national teacher?

In that case, he can find a child of a certain clan of the royal family and support him to the throne?

But the national teacher is very persistent, he thinks that as long as the emperor is here, the emperor with the fortune of the country is still alive, and the demon girl is gone, the "dragon" above the Dafan Dynasty will definitely be able to soar.

Regardless of the opposition of others, he also put Lin Ziye in prison and personally fed the medicine into Fan Shenxi's mouth.

However, all his good expectations were not realized by this forbidden medicine, although the emperor's life was not long, but the country's fortunes only declined little by little with the passage of the emperor's life, and as soon as he fed the forbidden medicine, the national fortunes of the Dafan Dynasty collapsed all at once.

No, it can't be!

The national teacher didn't want to believe it, he tried to save it, however, before His Majesty Shen Xi only thought about expanding the territory, and his heart was very angry, although he remembered what Xiaobei told him, but in those five months, he still made a lot of killings, and he didn't have the heart to deal with it, he was bent on finding Xiaobei.

Then the hidden danger comes, breaking through the city wall but not really subduing the people of the wall, suppressing the other side by force for a while, and once the force is weakened, it will be immediately counterpressed.

After learning that the emperor of the Great Fan Dynasty was seriously ill, several major powers began to unite and prepare to fight back.

The court also began to be unstable, even if the national teacher has spells, but he is not a person who understands government affairs after all, the emperor has been fighting for five months in a row, the court is uncontrolled, and people's hearts are already a little scattered.

It's just internal and external troubles.

These are still second, the most devastated thing for the national teacher is that two days after he fed the emperor the forbidden medicine, the emperor is gone!

He set up an enchantment in the emperor's bedroom, and sent people to look forward to it inside and out, for fear that the emperor would have an accident, but the emperor seemed to suddenly evaporate and disappeared.

The national teacher doesn't believe in evil, someone must have taken the emperor away, but who can break his enchantment?

Are there other people from the outside world?

Or maybe the enchantress...... Coming back?

……

No matter how the national teacher guessed, when Qiu Xiaobei heard this, he stood up violently.

In fact, when she heard that Shen Xi was poisoned by arrows, and she fought one after another regardless of her body, and her fate was on the eve and so on, she couldn't sit still, if she wasn't anxious to know what happened to Shen Xi, she probably ran out to find Shen Xi early, the crumpled hem of her clothes was what she had just grabbed hard, if she lifted her pants, she might still be able to see her pinching her green thighs in order to restrain herself.

But she didn't expect it, and she patiently heard the news in the end, but the news she got was gone.

"Gone?" She asked in a very soft voice, "What do you mean?" ”

Chili felt that this Xiaobei looked a little scary, he instinctively touched his nose and touched his face, and under her fluttering eyes, he had to say: "It's gone, it's gone, and it disappears out of thin air." ”

"Don't you claim to know everything?"

"I secretly checked, and it is true that no one has entered Fan Shenxi's bedroom, he just disappeared by himself."

"How is it possible, he ......" Xiaobei suddenly paused, thinking of something as if he was in a trance, and muttered, "Could it be...... Isn't it......"

Chili looked at her curiously: "What do you think of?" ”

Xiaobei shook her head in a daze, and she bit her lip and made up her mind.

Investigate what is going on first, if it is taken away, she will save Shen Xi, if it is ...... If that's the case, she'll find him again.

If she can find him the first time, she can find it a second time!

"Tell me how to get out here." After a pause, she asked again, "This is the tomb that Shen Xi built for me, right?" ”

Looking at Xiaobei, who became strong so quickly and had ideas, Chili felt more and more that this girl had grown a lot when she wore it back once.

"This is indeed Fan Shenxi's construction for you, he heard about it somewhere, and built a tomb for you, you will come back from the tomb one day, this tomb is the intersection of the two worlds...... I thought this was a lie, but Fan Shenxi didn't want to give up any possibility, so he built such a dungeon for his queen despite the opposition of the national teacher. ”

Xiaobei knew that this was a coincidence, because there was a tomb, Shen Xi must have come here often to see "her", and bet ten points here, no, it was ten thousand feelings, perhaps, in addition to the dormitory, he was the last to come here before he fell into a coma, so that the ancient array sensed and sent her here.

But these Xiaobei won't tell Chili, she only said: "Sincerely, Jin Shi is open, he just wants to see me, so I came." ”

Chili: "......" He felt that he was inexplicably shown affection.

He said: "It's simple and simple to want to go out from here, Shen Xi left a secret door in order to be able to come in and see you, even if the national teacher is here, the emperor will come in, the national teacher can't even control the emperor's grief, but if someone goes out from here, then the problem will be big." ”

Now that things have become like this, everyone with eyes knows that the national teacher is wrong, and the national teacher himself may also know, but it is already like this, even if he is wrong, he can only be wrong to the end, otherwise he will have to tear off his face and step on the soles of his feet? So he will still put all the blame on Xiaobei, because he can't bear the consequences of his mistakes.

Therefore, Xiaobei is currently his worst enemy.

For this kind of extreme person who will not admit even if he knows that he is wrong, Xiaobei feels that what his father said is very right, so he has to be afraid!

"You always have a way to get out," Xiaobei asked Chili, "seeing that you have all lived here, I think this question is easy for you, right?" ”

Chili snorted: "Even if you praise me like this, I won't be happy." ”

When you say you're upset, can you not raise the corners of your mouth so high?

Chili's method is actually very simple, use a bit of trickery to trick the guards here into the place where they are hiding, and then the two change into each other's clothes, and finally take the opportunity to leave the underground palace when the shift is changed.

The caretaker will find a few companions who have fainted behind, but Xiaobei will be hidden in the vast sea of people, even if the national teacher's magic is twice as high, he can't find the current Xiaobei.

……

Xiaobei wore a very ordinary skirt and a cloak, wrapped herself and the child in her arms, and walked into the Baodan Pavilion very ordinarily.

The pharmacy is very cold these days.

Xiaobei inquired before coming, and now the army is in chaos, and the prince behind Baicaotang is not pressed, so naturally he jumped out again, although the emperor's disappearance was suppressed, but the serious illness is known to everyone, and the people around the emperor are either controlled by the national teacher, or they have to fight against other countries, or they are against the national teacher and the chaotic court, and those soldiers have long left Beijing to fight, and no one can take care of this pharmacy.

The people of Baicaotang took the opportunity to suppress Baodan Pavilion, just as they had dealt with other pharmacies.

Now in this situation, I need money more, and naturally I don't want Bao Dange to snatch the big head, fortunately, no one cares, this is also the queen's shop, although many people don't know, but it doesn't hinder its existence This influence, this will only be a cold business, and it hasn't closed down yet.

She glanced at it a few times when she entered, it was still the furnishings before she left, and there were not as many types of medicines on the counter as there were when she was there, because Jing'an and Xiaoxizi were not so much, she took out one of the medicine bottles and poured it out to check, the finished product was not bad, it can be seen that these two apprentices are still working hard.

"Hey...... Guest, what do you want to buy? Tell me what you need! ”

The guy didn't pay attention to it, but he found out, and first he called out in a hurry, why didn't the guest take their medicine casually? Then he thought that he couldn't do this to the guests, and his tone slowed down, but his steps were still eager.

Xiaobei put down the medicine bottle and turned around: "Xiaohuo, I didn't expect you to be still there?" ”

The guy first opened his mouth wide in surprise, and then rushed towards Xiaobei in surprise, and stopped again when he arrived, and he didn't know where to put it with his hands at a loss: "Shopkeeper, master, you, you are back!" ”

Xiaobei was very happy to see him: "The store is open here, how dare you not come back, what about you, didn't your father let you study here for a few months, why are you still here?" ”

The guy raised his chin proudly: "I've been here since this store didn't even open, no matter how you look at it, I feel like I'm a part of this, how can I just leave." ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head guiltily: "I'm sorry, I'm in charge, I don't have a good store, in the past two months, business has been really ......."

"This has nothing to do with you, I'm not here as the boss, how can I let you carry it. What about Jing'an and Xiaoxizi? They ......"

"Yes, they're all there, they're inside, I'm going to call them?"

"No, I'll go in with you."

Anyway, there will be no business, Xiaobei took his men directly inside, but Jing'an and Xiaoxizi were not seen in the pharmacy, and there was a sound from the backyard.

She and her buddies walked to the backyard, and as soon as they arrived at the gate of the backyard and didn't go out, they heard Jing'an's angry voice: "We didn't give you less money, what do you mean, it's just a lot of money, and it's so much less?" And this, actually use radish instead of ginseng? Don't you know that if you put this medicine wrong, you may eat the dead, do you still have a conscience? ”

It should have been the party who sent the medicinal herbs and said indifferently: "What's the matter, you can't sell these medicines anyway, whether it's true or not, isn't it all like that." If you don't like it, we won't be able to do this business. ”

His accomplice also said: "At least we can still give you these medicinal herbs, think clearly, now in the whole of Kyoto, no one dares to do business with you, when the time comes, let alone ginseng, you don't even have turnips." ”

"Okay, we won't do this business."

Xiaobei walked out slowly, the child was handed over to the guy for the time being, the windbreaker hood covered most of her face, and the person who sent the medicinal herbs naturally couldn't recognize her, Jing'an, who had been serving her for so long, was puzzled at first glance, and saw it at the second glance, and at the moment she covered her mouth with her hand and didn't let herself scream, but tears gradually accumulated in her eyes.

The person who delivered the medicinal herbs was a little panicked when he heard this: "Who are you, can you call the shots here?" ”

Although it threatened Jing'an, they didn't want to lose this business, and they only gave half of the goods at the same price, they didn't know how much more they could make from it, how could they give it up easily.

Jing'an calmed down, didn't look at Xiaobei again, and only said to them with a cold face: "Why can't it, she is right, we will not do this business." ”

"If you don't say you don't do it, you won't do it, we have already sent someone to pick the medicinal materials you asked for before, and now you say you don't want to, who will pay for the loss? And, apart from us, you can't find a home, what's the matter, do you want to close the door? ”

"Losses? Okay, let's calculate the loss, it just so happens that these goods are still here, and they haven't been handed over yet, so let's go to the official now, how about it? ”

The person who sent the medicinal materials was not afraid at all, and looked at Jing'an with hanging eyes: "Okay, if you call an official, you will call an official, but I am afraid that you will not dare." ”

Xiaobei didn't bother to argue with these people: "Okay, report to the official." ”

She took out a piece of jade pendant, which was expensive at first glance, and threw it to Xiao Xizi.

Originally, the people of the medicinal herb merchant thought that the people from the Yamen must be helping them, but the Criminal Department was completely official, and the Yamen did not dare to mess around, and the people of the medicinal herb merchant were too confident, and the evidence was not destroyed, so it was placed in front of everyone, and it was clear at a glance.

Even if the court is chaotic now, the official is majestic, and the people of the yamen can't attack at this moment even if they are unwilling, and if they want to sue or retaliate, they will have to come back later, which will have to be handled very impartially and let the medicinal herb dealer compensate for the loss of Baodan Pavilion.

There was still a lot of losses, and the transaction between the two parties was nullified, and the medicinal materials sent were still owned by Baodan Pavilion.

In general, it was Baodan Pavilion that made money.

But before leaving, the herb merchant's people viciously warned them not to be too arrogant and wait for the closure of the store.

After the herb merchant and the people from the yamen left, they entered the house, and Xiao Xizi complained to Jing'an: "Do you say that they will really compensate, don't talk about it today, and you won't admit it another day?" ”

"Don't worry, if you don't admit it, you will go to their store to ask for it, and the black and white calligraphy paintings are there, and I am afraid that they will not be able to escape."

"That's right." After Xiao Xizi answered, he realized that it was not Jing'an who spoke, nor was it the familiar black cloak woman who suddenly appeared, and the male voice who spoke.

He hurriedly turned his head and saw that the guard who was standing behind a certain adult in the criminal department didn't leave, although the other party helped them, but what happened during this time still made Xiao Xizi vigilant: "You ......"

"Don't be nervous." The other party raised his head and looked directly at the woman in the black cloak, "You called me here, right?" ”

Seeing his appearance clearly, Jing'an and Xiao Xizi exclaimed at the same time: "Lord Ying? ”

This person is not the current Shangshu Yingshu Rong of the Criminal Department!

But what shocked them even more was the woman in the black cloak who took off her hat: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, how is Lord Ying?" ”

Ying Shurong, who originally seemed to be able to deal with everything calmly, changed his face, and emotions such as excitement, anger, and relief were intertwined in his eyes: "It's really you, are you finally willing to come back?" ”

"Master!" To say that seeing Ying Shurong was just surprised, seeing Xiaobei, Xiao Xizi was completely the same as seeing the resurrection of his dead relatives, and Jing'an, who had already recognized it, finally couldn't help crying after this was confirmed.

"You're finally back, you're finally back, master......"

Rao felt that she was very calm Xiaobei, she was very embarrassed to see the two apprentices crying in front of her, she wanted to comfort and comfort her, and felt that she had a stupid day, and she didn't know how to coax them.

The guy who was still holding the child came over to take a look, and hurriedly said to them: "Or, let's go inside and sit and talk slowly, don't you cry, shouldn't you be happy that the master is back, you want to wash her away with tears again?" ”

So at the end of the day, it's the guy who is the calmest.

The reunion is happy, whether it is Xiaobei, or Jing'an and others who have been waiting for Xiaobei for half a year, they are inevitably excited, and it will take a while to slowly calm down, and once they calm down, there are many problems to face.

Several people crowded into the alchemy pharmacy, in order to allow themselves and their apprentices to learn medicine and refine medicine here with peace of mind, this alchemy pharmacy is absolutely quiet and prevents eavesdropping outside, and the sound insulation is naturally needless to say.

Xiaobei glanced at everyone, Jing'an, Xiao Xizi, buddy and Ying Shurong, took a deep breath inside, and then asked in a calm and relaxed tone as calmly as possible: "I believe that what happened on the day of my wedding with the emperor half a year ago, you all know it, how about it, see me now, are you afraid?" ”

Ying Shurong said quite chic and dignified: "I always think of the fact that you were taken to the court of the criminal department by someone who was disguised, and Baba looked at me asking for help from me, thinking about how desperate and pitiful you were at that time, I really can't be afraid." ”

Xiaobei: "......" She wasn't happy at all because he wasn't afraid.

Jing'an's eyes are still a little red, but she has returned to her original rational and gentle appearance like a caring big sister: "I have nothing to be afraid of, from Your Highness, no, when the emperor entrusted you to the slave, you were the master of the slave." ”

Moreover, this master also taught her the art of alchemy that others could not learn if they longed for it, and he was her teacher, who disliked his own teacher.

Xiao Xizi nodded again and again, he became a eunuch at a young age, he was a slave among slaves, without Xiaobei, he would probably have died in the black mad plague, not to mention that he could become her apprentice later.

If the monsters were all so good to the master, he would rather everyone be a monster.

The guy didn't say anything, he was still holding the child and coaxing, the baby still knew the guy, of course, for them, Xiaobei and the child had been away for half a year, for the two of them only a few days, the baby didn't recognize it, he let the guy hold and coax, not crying, not making trouble, not talking, and spitting bubbles at the guy's toothless mouth, making the guy so cute that he didn't have time to care about what they were going to talk about.

Ying Shurong became serious first: "What are you going to do next?" Come to think of it, you should already know what happened in the past six months, and the emperor and Fan Gongzi are missing, and he ......"

"Yes, I know it all."

Ying Shurong looked at Xiaobei's hateful and tried to calm himself, and tried not to be so excited: "Too many things have really happened during this time, although I am already the secretary of the Criminal Department, but the Criminal Department is not my Yiyantang, I, Ling Mojue and Lin Ziyi, a few of our Fan Gongzi are more valued, all of them are monitored by the national teacher, this will Lin Zi is also imprisoned, Mo Jue is at the border, although I still have the prime minister to help me, but there are too many things." I also know a little about Baodan Pavilion, sorry, I didn't help you take care of Baodan Pavilion. ”

Xiaobei shook his head: "I know, if it weren't for you, Baodan Pavilion would have closed long ago." ”

She took a deep breath and said, "It's useless to say this, I appeared in front of you today just to tell you two things." First, I will deal with these things of the Great Fan Dynasty in the shortest possible time, of course, it is impossible to really solve them, but I can keep them as they were before they ascended the throne, end the war in a short time, and make the court stable. ”

"Is it possible?"

"It's just a superficial phenomenon, so that everyone can't fight for a short time." Xiaobei said, "Then, after these are dealt with, I will go to Shen Xi, I will definitely find him back, as long as he comes back, all the problems can really be solved." ”

Hearing the latter incident, Ying Shurong leaned forward: "Can you really find Fan Gongzi?" "Even the national teacher doesn't know where the emperor has gone, and he is so anxious that he is on fire.

Xiaobei is confident, but fearless: "I will definitely find him." ”

……

Qiu Xiaobei tied the child to his chest as usual and returned to the palace through the underground passage.

The exit is the sleeping hall of the prince of the East Palace.

Of course, after Fan Shenxi ascended the throne, there was no prince in the Great Fan Dynasty, so although there will be people to clean and maintain this palace, no master is qualified to live here.

Qiu Xiaobei couldn't be more familiar with this place, even if Fan Shenxi ascended the throne later, they changed their residence, and what could give her a sense of belonging was the East Palace.

She looked at the furnishings in the dormitory with nostalgia, all the same as before, the bed specially prepared for her when she was in the dormitory with a dead face was still there, and in the big bed where they hugged and slept for countless nights, there were still two beautifully made beetles, she felt cute at the time, played with it in her hand, and put it in the corner of the bed, but she didn't expect it to be there.
