Chapter 638: Into the Tiger's Den

Since the news of the emperor's northern tour came, the vigilance of Le'an City has become more and more strict. Although Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, had been cut off by two guards before, and only retained the 5,000 soldiers and horses guarded in the Heavenly Policy, no one thought that this prince, who was once the proud son of the sky, really only had such a small number of people under his command. The number of armored sergeants who have been gathering in Le'an City these days alone has far exceeded this number, and this is not counting the rest of the entire Shandong.

Like the other princes' mansions, the Han Palaces are also like a city within a city, with four gates and towering walls, and ordinary people are guilty of looking inside, and the etiquette system is almost the same as that of the Son of Heaven. Duanli, Guangzhi, Tiren, Zunyi, the four gates of the palace are guarded by twenty-four strong soldiers, plus eight people in the gatehouse, all of them are bound by military etiquette, so no one dares to be sloppy. And the outside is cleaned, and the places in the palace are much easier, and now the big people have more important things, and they can be lazy.

"There are really a lot of things purchased in the king's mansion these days, not to mention vegetables, vegetables and meat, and even the ones who send charcoal are also dialed."

"What do you know, I think when the emperor was still King Yan, he used to build weapons in the palace. No one in this palace can come in to search, if you don't make good use of it, how can the prince do big things? It's in the reserve ......"

"Shhh, you two are lighter, and you dare to shout loudly when you say such terrible things, aren't you afraid that you will directly fill the well when the time comes? Be lazy, be lazy, talk less nonsense, and don't make trouble for everyone! Hey, someone sent something again...... It's endless! ”

An older servant slapped the two young servants on the back of the head, and after a reprimand, it was discovered that the two old women had pushed a charcoal cart over. Because there are a lot of things in and out these days, although he complained, he just stepped forward and searched casually, and when he was about to search, he looked at the fat bodies and wrinkled faces of the two old women for a while, and he had no interest in rubbing oil, so he waved his hand and let him go.

"Really, Chitose Lord had to order that no one in the inner courtyard of the palace could go out, and only women over forty years old could send things inside, and now all the people who came and went have become such goods. If it's just a water spirit, it's not as stout as a man, or it's so shriveled and old, it's not even the addiction to thinking about the feel! But then again, even if there is no ban, these people are doing rough work in and out, how can a young person be willing to do this kind of work! ”

The voice of the words drifted clearly with the wind, but the two mothers-in-law who were pushing and pulling the firewood cart one after the other did not say a word. Until after the corner, the mother-in-law in front of her in a big brown cotton jacket suddenly straightened up, she quickly swept around, and saw that no one was passing by, she glanced at the other mother-in-law behind her, and climbed the left wall in three or two times, only glanced at it and jumped off the ground, and then went up to the right wall in the same way, and soon landed safely again.

"Third sister, how is it?"

"It's not the same as the last time I was here, and it seems that I really have to thank His Royal Highness the dead prince for bringing me here. Qingshuang, everything is as agreed before, you should be vigilant and don't show flaws. ”

With an old face, a young voice came out of the woman's mouth. If it weren't for the fact that the Han Wangfu has become more and more vigilant these days, even with her strength, she would not dare to act rashly, Tang Sai'er would not have planned all the back roads outside before sneaking in. Fortunately, according to the news she heard, Feng Yuanming was indeed inside, and she was safe and sound for the time being, so she could also calm down and prepare.

It is not difficult to sneak into the palace, but it is not easy to get into it to rescue people and do things, and every link has to be calculated. She had a fight with that prince at the beginning, and her strategy had made great progress, but she couldn't catch up with the plan sent by Zhang Yue.

Seeing Tang Qingshuang nodding, she went back to the front, picked up the rope and grabbed the poles on both sides, and pulled the heavy charcoal cart with just a slight effort.

The two of them entered a small gate along this narrow passageway, and saw all kinds of miscellaneous items piled up everywhere, stacks of dry firewood filling most of the yard, in addition to large baskets of charcoal and other kinds of charcoal. Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty, was as afraid of the cold as his father, and began to burn the kang for heating in less than October every year, and the amount of the entire palace in a month often exceeded 10,000 catties.

Due to the incident of Concubine Wei, Zhu Gaoxu has now ordered that no woman from top to bottom in the inner courtyard is allowed to go out, and only women over forty years old can come in. The women in this courtyard are all old women, and the people who come in from outside to deliver charcoal are all rough women, so they have rarely taken any precautions. So, when a steward servant who had often come here had come here as usual to send work, she had not noticed any difference between the two dark-faced rough envoys, and called them into the carriage and went inside.

There is a fixed number of charcoal up and down the inner courtyard, which was originally received by people, but this is the first class rough and dirty work, and naturally no one is willing to do it, so it gradually became the rule for people to send it. Even if Tang Sai'er and Tang Qingshuang are both people who have practiced martial arts and endured hardships, they are tired enough to run this time. Not to mention the servant woman in charge, who had been gone for a short time, and she didn't bother to go in again and again. Everywhere she went, she directly instructed the two of them to carry baskets and send charcoal inside, while she sat and rested.

Originally, there were no men in the inner courtyard of the palace, but because Zhu Gaoxu has now changed from a widow with illness to a widow, so those doctors have to be passed on at any time, so naturally they can only be locked up in the courtyard of the deep mansion, and there are eight strong eunuchs guarding the door. It's just that since these people have been "invited" here for three or four months, and no one wants to escape, they gradually relaxed. It must be known that the youngest of these people is already in his early forties, and it is simply wishful thinking to escape from the palace.

At this time, seeing that it was two mothers-in-law who came in with a basket to deliver charcoal, they checked the basket and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so they let it go. Shun Shundang entered the inner room, Tang Sai'er saw that there were a total of seven or eight rooms in the courtyard, and at this time, many people were walking outside, all sighing and frowning. All the way here, she kept an eye on it, and at this time she didn't know that she had found the land. Even though the journey she had just passed through had been completely memorized in her mind, she knew that now was the best opportunity, so she swept around and didn't see Feng Yuanming, and she was secretly anxious in her heart.

Just when she glanced at Tang Qingshuang and hinted at delaying time, the curtain of the big room in the north room was suddenly beaten high, and a person walked out of it. I saw that the man was dressed in a clean green cloth shirt, with a white beard and a straight waist, and a cold expression on his face as if others owed him three hundred taels. He didn't look at the other people in the courtyard, he went straight down the steps, and when he reached the middle of the courtyard, he actually played Tai Chi on his own.

Seeing the person clearly, Tang Sai'er suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and as soon as his thoughts turned, he nagged while working: "The right five flavors are stirred and adjusted, and jujube meat is used as a pill, such as hemp seeds, one pill after each meal, go to the heart, and the hot wind is ghostly......"

The voice was not clear, but it was audible to all. Tang Qingshuang saw the two servants in the courtyard come forward and scold, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "She is confused now, and she remembers these gods and ghosts all day long, not to mention now, even at night, sisters-in-law, please forgive me." Poor thing, if her master was here, she wouldn't be like this. ”

The speaker had a heart and listened, and the doctors in the courtyard saw Feng Yuanming come out, and most of them went back to the house, and the two servants heard that the woman was confused, so they didn't interfere anymore. Only Feng Yuanming, who was playing Tai Chi, stopped moving, and then resumed his gentle and slow posture. But it didn't take long for him to stop angrily, and he shouted again: "Since you sent charcoal today, send me some more, and sleep on the cold kang for a few days, do you want to freeze me to death?" I'm an old man who is afraid of the cold, and I can use the foot stove and hand stove! ”

If other doctors dared to shout like this, the two servant women would have been angry, but Feng Yuanming had already sent an order from above to take care of them, and the two of them also vaguely heard that King Han's illness had improved under the care of this person. Helplessly, Feng Yuanming was not good, so he couldn't be picky, so they simply supported Tang Sai'er and Tang Qingshuang, and then stood far away and complained.

As soon as he entered the house, Tang Sai'er instructed Tang Qingshuang to watch at the door, then turned around and walked forward, calling out to the master excitedly. Hearing the "Taiqing Danjing Tips" just now, Feng Yuanming was still greatly moved when he heard this voice, although he had seven or eight points, and then reprimanded angrily in a low voice: "What are you doing in this kind of place? It's enough for me to get caught up alone, and I'll need to catch you again! Is that a green frost? What are you bringing her in for? ”

"Master, I don't have time to explain to you. Hurry up and dress up like me and go out with Qingshuang! ”

Tang Sai'er said as he untied his hair bun and took off the big brown cotton jacket outside. Seeing Feng Yuanming standing there in surprise, but she didn't move, she hurriedly urged: "Don't you know my ability?" Not to mention the Han Palace, even in the palace, I can go out safely. Besides, my medical skills are similar to yours, and I haven't learned your speech in the past! To untie the bell, you must tie the bell, and the pill that King Han took at the beginning was originally refined by me. ”

Hearing this, Feng Yuanming suddenly remembered the scene when Tang Sai'er pretended to be himself to treat people in the early years, and he suddenly became angry. Han King Zhu Gaoxu's illness he knew what was going on as soon as he inquired about it, although he was stubborn, he was not an indiscriminate old man, he had used a few means before, and finally made Zhu Gaoxu believe him a little. Only he knew that his prescription would be carefully pondered by many doctors here, so he simply pretended to be unsociable, which made others a little less suspicious.

After all, the master and apprentice have been in love for many years, and they can't resist Tang Sai'er, so he can only reluctantly exchange clothes with her, and wash his face and makeup in a copper basin. When he heard Tang Sai'er mention that Xiao Wu was married, Rao was never concerned about everything, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed at this time, and his actions were much faster.

"So, even if it's for the sake of the little junior sister, you have to go out. The little junior sister, the newlywed Yan Erfujun, went to the north, and if you go back, you can also comfort her. Speaking of which, Tang Sai'er had already put on that mask, and it was a Feng Yuanming again, and she gently shook his hand again, "Master, take care, I only have you as a relative now except for Qingshuang." ”

"You...... Alas, you should also be more careful, don't play with fire! Feng Yuanming, who sighed in his heart, didn't say anything more, according to Tang Sai'er's words, he grabbed his hair bun, he suddenly remembered the wind heard by the people he had seen these days, and hurriedly hurried to tell these important things again, and then said, "They thought that it would be difficult for me to get out of here in my life, so they didn't avoid me when they talked about many things." King Han's henchman Mei Qing is back, and now the King of Jiyang, who is in Beijing, is responsible for handing over the news of the East Palace to the palace here, and it seems that the East Palace has an inside line. And ......"

The two servants outside were sensing that the two women had been in for too long, when they suddenly heard the sound of angry scolding and smashing things from inside. They were about to go in to take a look, when they saw two people running out of the door in embarrassment, and there was a lot of scolding from behind. Realizing that it was the old man who lost his temper again, they hurriedly stepped forward to urge the two mothers-in-law to leave quickly, and then they hid themselves, no matter how loud they shouted and scolded inside. I don't know how long it took before the scolding finally stopped.

Because of Tang Qingshuang helping by his side, Feng Yuanming was in danger of leaving the palace all the way. When he arrived at the bottom of Le'an City, he didn't have time to think about his experience during the three months of house arrest, and hurriedly asked Tang Qingshuang a lot of questions. However, Tang Qingshuang got Tang Sai'er's orders, where was she willing to reveal too much, she was vague because she avoided the serious, and it was easy to coax the old man to eat first, and when the person with a drug seizure fell asleep, she immediately disguised himself for him, and then called two young men.

"Immediately sent people out of the city, saying that they were sending the old man to Qingzhou to visit relatives. After you arrive in Qingzhou, you will be sent there, and then you will stay in Qingzhou and don't come back, understand? ”

"However, only you and the sect leader are here...... Miss Qingshuang"

"The third sister has already said, don't call her the sect leader from now on! Only the two of us are more convenient, the third sister is bold, I will also improvise, you go quickly, don't delay! ”

When Feng Yuanming was sent away, Tang Qingshuang was truly at ease. According to Tang Sai'er's plan, she should have followed along, but she really couldn't rest assured. Tang Sai'er also has a master, but she has no other relatives except for this third sister. She didn't know what Tang Sai'er promised Zhang Yue, but she couldn't let go of her to take risks alone, if her third sister had three longs and two shorts, then she didn't want to live alone!
