Chapter 60: A Double Reed
Xu Shen soon saw Xu Wenxiang, she was settled in a delicate and tidy room, lying quietly on the bed, her long eyelashes fell, blocking the smart and smiling eyes.
She looked so peaceful, as if she was just tired and lying down to rest.
Like he'd seen countless times before.
Xu Shen stood by the door, and suddenly didn't dare to walk over.
Who will wake up this time?
The Imperial Physician was sitting on the side, frowning and prescribing medicine.
Seeing Xu Shen coming in, he hurriedly put down his pen and got up to salute: "Xu Xiang." β
When Xu Wenxiang had an accident at the beginning, the imperial doctor also went to Xu's mansion to treat her. It's just that at that time, the girl, who obviously showed no signs of survival, came back to life a few months later.
This imperial doctor was naturally very surprised, and he also planned to visit Xu's Mansion to find out what kind of master could have such the ability to bring the dead back to life. Who knew that before he was ready to come to the door, he was invited to Qingwang's mansion and looked at the patient, and the doctor was surprised for a long time before he came back to his senses.
"Doctor Fang." Xu Shen returned the salute, and his voice was low and slow: "How is my sister's situation?" β
Doctor Fang had a bitter face, stroked his beard and looked at Xu Wenxiang: "Old and incompetent, acupuncture and moxibustion decoction have been used, but Miss Xu still has no signs of waking up." β
Worried that Xu Shen would suspect that he had not done his best, Imperial Doctor Fang hurriedly said: "Princess Qing also diagnosed Miss Xu's pulse before, and Princess Qing also tried her best. Lao Yu discussed with Princess Qing, and Miss Xu's situation is probably ...... I'm afraid it's the same as last time......"
When he said this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "I don't know which holy hand Lord Xu found to heal Miss Xu last time?" This time, I'm afraid that I will have to trouble that master to save Miss Xu. β
It just so happens that if Xu Xiang can still find that master, he will have to look at it even if he has a dead face.
Xu Shen's face became almost transparent for a moment, and he staggered back as if he couldn't stand on his feet.
What he fears most is to hear.
"Lord Xu?" Imperial Physician Fang was taken aback by his reaction, looked at his face again, and hurriedly stepped forward to help: "What's wrong with you?" β
Xu Shen grabbed Imperial Physician Fang's arm tightly: "Imperial Physician Fang, you can show her again, maybe she will wake up soon......"
Imperial Physician Fang's face was even more bitter, this time it was painful, he shook his head in embarrassment and shame and said, "Lord Xu, it's not that I don't do my best, my medical skills are really shallow, and there is really no other way to think about it." The top priority is that Lord Xu must find the master who treated Miss Xu last time! β
Xu Shen let go of his hand and lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes, "Thank you Taiyi for reminding me, I'm sorry for you." I'll take my sister-in-law back to the house first. β
Imperial Physician Fang couldn't help but say his request: "Lord Xu, if you really invite the master of the last time, please inform Lao Yu no matter what, Lao Yu admires his medical skills very much, and I really want to ask him for advice in person." β
As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Xu Shen, "I hope that Lord Xu will be fulfilled." β
Xu Shen smiled miserably: "I'm going to disappoint Imperial Doctor Fang, that master has already ...... Passed away and can no longer be found. β
Doctor Fang let out an "ah", a little at a loss for a moment, looking at Xu Shen's numb and dazed look, he couldn't say a word of comfort.
"Doctor Fang, farewell."
Doctor Fang watched Xu Shen bend over, gently and carefully picked up Xu Wenxiang on the bed, and slowly left step by step.
For some reason, looking at Xu Shen's thin figure, he suddenly felt a little sour.
"Ugh." Doctor Fang sighed.
It's all useless for him as a doctor, so let's go back and study medical books well.
β¦β¦
Princess Qing was crying silently in King Qing's arms at this time: "It's all because the concubine is useless, so that Miss Xu will be injured." β
King Qing sighed and hugged Princess Qing tightly: "You're also frightened." β
Princess Qing couldn't help but tremble slightly: "The concubine can't figure it out, a good girl like Miss Xu, how can Mother Yu be so ruthless?" The concubine heard that Yu's mother herself has two girls, and she is almost the same age as Miss Xu, even if she thinks about the girls in her family, she can't do that. β
King Qing's eyes moved slightly, and his cold face was full of cold and fierce color: "In this case, let's sell Yu's mother's two daughters to the land of fireworks and willow lane." β
Princess Qing seemed to be taken aback and raised her head in a panic.
King Qing looked down at her and stroked her long hair: "If you don't have a heart, let me ...... this matter."
Princess Qing hurriedly shook her head and pursed her lips, as if she had made up her mind: "This is the matter of the inner court, and it should be handled by the concubine." In the past few years, you have been busy outside, but in the palace, the concubine has not taken care of it for you. It's all the concubine's fault, and in the future, the concubine will definitely work hard to take care of the palace, so that you don't have to worry about the future. β
King Qing was slightly stunned, and looked at Princess Qing's determined appearance in disbelief: "You...... It's too reluctant. When I married you, I promised you that you would continue to do what you liked. If you like medicine, you can study it quietly, and you don't have to ...... it."
Princess Qing smiled sadly with tears: "I also thought that medical skills were the most important. But Miss Xu taught me that there are many more important things in this world than medical skills......"
As she said this, she glanced at King Qing shyly and timidly, and the meaning was self-evident.
King Qing's heart fluttered.
No matter how old he is, he knows that his wife is more than afraid of him, but his love is not enough. She had always been obsessed with medicine, except when their son was born, and she had shifted her attention from medical skills to her son. It's just that since her son was sent away, she has been holding the medicine all day long, just talking to him, and eight out of ten sentences are related to medicine.
Gradually, he didn't like to talk to her. She seemed to be aware of it, and was even more fearful of him.
King Qing also thought about handing over King Qing's Mansion to her to take care of, but she was not interested at all, and he didn't want to force her, so he sat down with Yu's mother's slave.
Now, his princess really seems to want a change.
Of course, he was pleased with her change, and it was too late to support her, so how could he be willing to refuse.
"More important than medical skills?" King Qing pretended not to understand, but he wanted to listen to Princess Qing say it herself.
Although he also knew that this was not appropriate, after all, the victims Xu Wenxiang and Xu Xiang were still waiting in the palace to give an explanation, but he was really reluctant to give up such an opportunity.
Princess Qing's cheeks were really crimson, thinking about the four words "overcoming rigidity with softness" that she had summed up from the pile of words in the literature, she still held back her shyness, bowed her head slightly and twisted King Qing's sleeves: "Naturally, it is the prince, and Brother Xuan is with you...... Brother Zhan. Miss Xu is right, even for you, I should also be energetic. If the palace is well managed, there will be no regrettable incident like this in the future. After all, Miss Xu is all for me and Brother Xuan......"
Thinking of Wen Xiang, who was unconscious, Princess Qing burst into tears again, "I thought that my medical skills were still excellent, but I tried my best to make Miss Xu wake up." I don't know if Doctor Fang can ......."
Speaking of which, a maid came to say: "Lord Xu Xiangxu took Miss Xu away, and left a message, saying that the prince promised him not to forget." β
Both of them were taken aback: "Xu Xiang is already gone?" β
King Qing settled down and let go of Princess Qing: "The house is handed over to you, and I will personally send Yu's mother's Diao slave to Xu's mansion." β
Princess Qing nodded hurriedly, but when it came to the end, she couldn't help but ask: "...... people from the Qu family?"
King Qing held her arm and looked solemnly into her eyes: "Since I leave it to you to deal with, it will be up to you." No matter who he is, you don't have to be polite when you come to my Qingwang Mansion to spread wild. β
With King Qing's words, Princess Qing finally completely relieved her heart and watched King Qing walk away.
β¦β¦
"Let go of me, you guys let go of me quickly!" Song Xuan's angry voice suddenly sounded.
Princess Qing hurriedly asked the maid beside her, "What's going on?" What is Brother Xuan doing? β
Kikyo and the little maid hurriedly restrained the struggling Song Xuan, who struggled with his little face flushed, and anxious huge tears swirled in his eyes.
Kikyo hurriedly replied: "Just now someone found out that the eldest prince wanted to sneak out of the mansion, and at this time the mansion was in chaos like this, if something happened to the eldest prince, it would be a big deal." β
Kikyo was beaten and kicked by Mrs. Qu, although she was in pain all over, Princess Qing also asked her to go back to the house to rest, but she knew that there were not many people around Princess Qing who could be used, so she simply cleaned up and came back to serve.
Princess Qing walked over, squatted down in front of Song Xuan in the appearance of Wen Xiang, and asked softly, "Brother Xuan, did you hear that Xu Xiang took Miss Xu away, so you want to go out of the house to find Miss Xu?" β
Song Xuan stopped struggling suddenly, he looked at Princess Qing, and only said "um" for a while.
Princess Qing tentatively held his hand, Song Xuan subconsciously broke free, she didn't force it anymore, raised her head and motioned to the bellflower to let go.
"Miss Xu's injury is not light, the person who took her away just now is her brother, he wants to take her back to the house to see the doctor, we can't stop them, otherwise we will delay Miss Xu's injury." Princess Qing thought for a while and said, "I promise you, when I finish dealing with the affairs in the mansion, I will take you to the Xu Mansion tomorrow to visit Miss Xu, okay?" β
Song Xuan looked at Princess Qing fixedly, and Princess Qing looked sincere.
She remembered that when Wen Xiang faced Song Xuan, she never did anything to coax, and she never concealed him or deceived him because he was a child. Thinking that Song Xuan likes her so much, it has something to do with this.
She unconsciously acted according to Wen Xiang's method.
Song Xuan really fell completely silent, he bit his lip and hesitated for a while before saying, "Are you going to deal with the Qu family now?" β
"Yes." Princess Qing did not hide it: "This time the matter is not small, Miss Xu is the sister of Lord Xu, the prime minister of the dynasty, and our palace must give an explanation to the Xu family." β
A mother of Yu is far from enough.
The prince asked her to dispose of the Qu family by herself, which is actually what she meant.
The Qu family has always been contemptuous and arrogant to her. She couldn't stand up on her own in the past, and she always wanted to calm things down, and she was not less angry with the Qu family.
Love, hate, hatred, and obsession, as a human being, you can't escape these emotions. She's no exception, so now, it's time for reckoning.
"I'll go with you." Song Xuan suddenly asked.
Princess Qing was stunned for a moment, and was a little embarrassed: "Brother Xuan, that's your eldest aunt, if you go......"
"I'm not going to intercede for her." Song Xuan interrupted her, "Sister Fairy became like that, it's all her...... If she hadn't brought someone to the house to make trouble, Sister Fairy wouldn't have been beaten. β
He clenched his little fists tightly: "I won't forgive her!" β
Princess Qing also secretly thought that she would definitely avenge Miss Wen Xiang!
β¦β¦
What happened in King Qing's mansion, Wen Xiang naturally didn't know anything.
She followed Song Nanzhou into the Wuxiang camp, and when she saw the sturdy men who were practicing "hey, hey, haha" naked in the school field, Wen Xiang said-
I'm pulling grass, happiness comes too suddenly, hahaha!
"The sixth little brother in the first row is in such a good shape!" She couldn't help but comment to Song Nanzhou: "Look at him, eight-pack abs!" It's not too sexy! β
"Huh? The first little brother on the left in the second row is also good-looking. In addition to the skin tone, the skin tone is a little darker, but the black spots are more manly, handsome! β
"Wow wow! Mermaid line! Ouch my mom, don't have too many handsome guys, I can't even watch it. Wen Xiang was dazzled: "However, who is the white chopping chicken that screams the earth-shattering ghosts and gods?" Hey, you don't seem to be in harmony here, huh? Why are some people desperately hey, while some people are watching the excitement from the sidelines? β
Like her, the diligent little brothers who practice seriously are a group of rich sons who wear fancy clothes and look like they are hanging out.
Song Nanzhou took her off and stuffed her directly into his arms, looking very helpless: "You are also a woman, so be ashamed and reserved." β
"I'm sorry, I'm not a woman right now." Wen Xiang arched in his arms: "I'm a handicapped wrench now, and I don't need to be ashamed and reserved." β
After a pause, he added, "You can't ask too much for a wrench." β
Therefore, there were many people, and Song Nanzhou could not teach her any more lessons, so he walked towards the direction of the school.
A group of people led by Lin San laughed and whistled.
Lin Haoran leaned on the pillar, clasped his hands to his chest, and said with a smile: "Song Da, look, that kid Jiang Xinghuai is going to pee his pants." β
As he said this, he looked at Jiang Xinghuai, who was crying wolf.
Wen Xiang was curious about what was going on with the white chicken that was being pressed to loosen his legs, and suddenly heard the name Jiang Xinghuai, and the more he thought about it, the more familiar he felt.
In a flash of inspiration, Wen Xiang slapped her thigh - unfortunately she couldn't shoot it and didn't have her thigh to shoot - isn't this the one who was opened by Song Nanzhou with a brick?
How did he get here?
Song Nanzhou is the commander of this Wuxiang battalion, and he is the leader here, and he fell into the hands of Song Nanzhou like this...... Hehe, Wen Xiang expressed his 120,000 points of sympathy and pity.
No wonder he was going to pee his pants all the time, it seems that someone knows the grievances between Song Nanzhou and Jiang Xinghuai, so he wants to use the poor Jiang Xinghuai to curry favor with Song Nanzhou?
Song Nanzhou also looked at Jiang Xinghuai, who was crying with a handful of snot and tears, he was being suppressed by two gentlemen, and wanted to press his legs down.
"What are you doing, don't let him go!" Song Nanzhou frowned slightly and shouted in a deep voice.
The two gentlemen obviously didn't expect Song Nanzhou to not appreciate their affection, so they couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Lin Haoran together.
Lin Haoran stepped forward unhappily: "Song Da, what do you mean by this?" Don't see the brothers helping you out? β
Song Nanzhou walked over, directly tore away the two people who were pressing Jiang Xinghuai, picked up the poor Jiang Xinghuai who was crying, and shouted at the group of shirtless soldiers who had stopped training and looked at them quietly.
"Wang Cong, you take Jiang Xinghuai down to clean up." A dark and strong young man ran out of the crowd, picked up Jiang Xinghuai and left.
Although he obeyed the order very well, he was not respectful to Song Nanzhou, obviously he didn't like this leader very much?
Wen Xiang looked at the many soldiers who were silent again, and the performance of the man named Wang Cong was almost the same, and he couldn't help but pout.
The head of the little brother of the prince doesn't seem to be so majestic and domineering.
There is also a young man here who is full of displeasure and is waiting for the little brother of the prince to give an explanation, this young man is also arrogant and uninhibited, which is similar to the feeling of Song Nanzhou.
"Song Da, what about you!" Seeing that Song Nanzhou didn't answer, Lin Haoran stepped forward and pushed him very unhappily, and sneered: "Why, now that I am the commander of the Wuxiang Battalion, I can't look down on these good brothers in the past?" β
"Lin San, if you still treat me as a brother, you shouldn't have done those previous things during the drill." Song Nanzhou looked at him coldly, "How did you do it?" β
"What did I do? What did I do? That Lin San shouted and sneered: "Of course I'm leading my brothers to have fun!" Isn't that what we do every day? I said Song Da, don't you really think of yourself as the commander of the Wuxiang battalion, and plan to put this Wuxiang battalion in order, right? β
He spoke in a loud voice, and he said this unceremoniously in front of everyone, obviously not taking Song Nanzhou in his eyes at all, and the onlookers in fancy clothes laughed when they heard this, as if they had heard some funny joke, and some even laughed forward and backward.
I clearly didn't believe that Song Nanzhou could put the Wuxiang camp in order.
Although Wen Xiang didn't want to see Song Nanzhou, Lin San, who laughed at Song Nanzhou in public and said that they were good buddies and good brothers, Wen Xiang didn't want to see him even more - this is probably plastic flower brotherhood.
And the silent shirtless soldiers in the school field dimmed their expressions in their unbridled ridicule - the commander who had been letting the Wuxiang battalion ignore it today suddenly ordered all the soldiers to practice, and he even personally lectured, saying that His Majesty had given him an order, ordering him to be sure to arrest the military affairs of the Wuxiang battalion, and also said that he would have the opportunity to practice during the autumn hunt, and if he performed well, he would personally recommend it in front of His Majesty, so that they could have the opportunity to climb up, or leave the Wuxiang battalion to go to other more promising battalions!
They were originally suspicious, but as they practiced, the commander suddenly received a message and ran away in a hurry, leaving a word for them to practice on their own.
Now after listening to Lin San's words, thinking that Song Nanzhou was no different from Lin San and others, those expectations suddenly came to naught.
Wen Xiang saw that these people were all depressed, and a few little brothers didn't even stay anymore and left the team.
Wen Xiang chuckled in her heart, and suddenly felt bad.
The errand of the little brother of the prince seems to be messed up?
"Capture the thief and capture the king first, you have to take down this arrogant Lin San first." Wen Xiang couldn't help but whisper, "Take down their heads, and they will naturally be well-behaved." β
Song Nanzhou's expression moved slightly, coughed lightly, put his fist to his lips, and said quickly: "Don't talk too much honestly." β
What, she kindly reminded him that he still didn't appreciate it.
Wen Xiang rolled her eyes depressedly, okay, then it depends on what you can do with this group of people?
"I Song Nanzhou haven't done anything decent in these years, and this time I was ordered to take over the Wuxiang camp, and I had to do it as a last resort." Song Nanzhou put his hands behind his back, looked around at the crowd, and said in a calm voice: "I am reluctant to take this hot potato, everyone knows what His Majesty's intention is to let me take over the Wuxiang camp." Lin San, don't you know? β
Lin San hugged his chest and pouted lazily, "What is Your Majesty's intention, how could I possibly know?" Trying to figure out the will of the Divine Mind is a great disrespectful crime. β
"Everyone knows that Wuxiang Camp is a place that has been abandoned, Your Majesty asked me to come, but it is just to see that a group of people led by you Lin San no longer cause trouble. It's not a difficult thing for me, anyway, whoever dares to cause trouble on my land, I'll break someone's leg. Song Nanzhou said indifferently, "That's what I thought at first, why did everyone give up the Wuxiang Battalion, even you gave up your own Wuxiang Battalion, I want to put it in order?" I don't owe youβ"
"We think it's good, except that we don't have the freedom to go out casually, everything is fine here." β
"Is it good?" Song Nanzhou lifted his lips coldly, stretched out his arm, and pointed out his long fingers outside the high wall: "Do you know what those people outside say about you?" They think you're going to stay in this camp for the rest of your life, because there's nothing else you can do but harm others when you go out, and they'd rather you stay here for the rest of your lifeβ"
He roared, "Tell me, do you really want to be locked up here for the rest of your life?" For a lifetime, I can't even see the shadow of a woman, let alone become my own son! β
The gentlemen couldn't laugh anymore, and someone hesitated for a moment and whispered: "In a few days, our family should be in a hurry." β
Most of them who were "ordered" to be imprisoned were extremely favored by the family, and at this age, it must be time for the family to get active, and they will definitely be fished out when the time comes.
Song Nanzhou sneered and pointed at Lin San, "Among them, the identity of Lin Sangongzi of Dongjun Wangfu is the most precious, and the princess of Dongjun is almost crying blind in the mansion, and Dongjun Wang did not dare to ask His Majesty to beg him to let Lin San out." What the king of Dongjun didn't dare to do, your family would? β
At this moment, the faces of all the gentlemen changed, some of them were frightened, some were incredulous, and some of them looked at Lin San for help.
Lin San's face also became very ugly, "What you said is true?" My mother, she ...... She really ......."
"What do I mean by lying to you?" Song Nanzhou looked at Lin San, "I came out of the palace before and met the king of Dongjun, the old prince has aged a lot in recent years, if you see it, I'm afraid you won't be able to recognize it." The old prince said that he doesn't know when you will be released, and he only hopes that he and Princess Dongjun will have the opportunity to see you again in this life. β
Lin San's eyes were slightly red, and he clenched his fists and did not speak.
"So, what do we do? How can we get out of this place? β
"Our family, my father and mother won't really ignore me, right?"
"They haven't delivered anything in a few days, yes, they must have left us alone."
"So what do we do? We can't stay here for the rest of our lives, can we? β
"Third Brother Lin......"
Lin San raised his hand, and the gentlemen slowly quieted down.
"Song Da, what do you have to say?"
"Starting today, everyone has to participate in the drill. At the end of each month, the centurion judges the top 10 performers. I can ask Your Majesty to give the soldiers who have behaved well a two-day opportunity to return home to visit their relatives. β
As soon as Song Nanzhou's voice fell, the entire school was quiet, and then, like boiling water, it sounded like a piece of boiling water.
"Really?"
"Can you really let us out?"
"If I can get out, I'll have to go home and ask if they really don't care about me anymore!"
"Yes, I have to go home and ask."
"Song Shizi...... No, Commander, what does it mean to behave well? β
Song Nanzhou and Lin San exchanged glances without a trace, revealing a knowing smile.
Wen Xiang, who saw all this in her eyes, suddenly understood.
, it turns out that Song Nanzhou and this Lin San looked like they were tearing up, but in fact, this Lin San was Song Nanzhou's nursery at all, and the two of them just sang a double reed in front of these gentlemen!
Looking at the gentlemen who were still laughing at Song Nanzhou just now, but were competing to surround him at this time, Wen Xiang silently gave a thumbs up.
The little brother of the prince turned out to be not only excellent in force, but he used his brain to throw her a few streets in minutes.
Don't be a man!
β¦β¦
When Song Nanzhou left the school field and returned to his barracks, Wen Xiang's ears were about to be wasted, and those gentlemen were so enthusiastic that they surrounded Song Nanzhou and asked endlessly, indirectly torturing her ears.
"Yours is yours." Seeing that there was no one around, Wen Xiang finally couldn't help but speak, and chattered, "Use one Lin San to clean up that group of people, little brother Shizi, you are very insidious." β
Song Nanzhou took her out and threw it at the vase with a few dead branches by the window, and Wen Xiang was accurately put into one branch.
"Can't you be gentle?" Wen Xiang was startled, "In case you accidentally drop me on the ground and break, are you responsible?" β
Song Nanzhou was changing into an official robe soaked with sweat, and looked at her with a smile when he heard the words: "I'm responsible - close my eyes, don't peek!" β
Wen Xiang muttered, "I'm afraid that it's useless for you to be responsible at that time", and rolled her eyes dissatisfiedly, "There are so many good-looking little brothers outside, I really want to watch them, who will peek at you?" β
Song Nanzhou narrowed his eyes, "You mean, I don't look good as those black bumps?" β
"What a pimple, that's muscle! Strong and powerful muscles, very manly and manly, okay? Wen Xiang couldn't help but distinguish, as soon as the words fell, she saw Song Nanzhou's not-so-good-looking face, and immediately came back to her senses, "Hehe, of course, the figure of the little brother of the prince is the most beautiful and perfect." Really, it's a great one! β
