"Why do you cough up blood?" It was late at night, and there were still lights in the hall, Snow Goose, Qingzhu, Youjian, and Li Bo were all there, and Song Ting was pacing impatiently.

Zhao Yuanzhen coughed up a stream of blood on the Jinpa just now, which made the hearts of the entire Song Mansion, regardless of the master and servant, pinch up, leaving Xiaoman to take care of Zhao Yuanzhen's room, and the others couldn't sleep, so they discussed countermeasures in the hall on this matter.

"I'll go find Mr. Huangfu!" Song Ting immediately took the case, whether it was negligence in the prescription or not, it would not be wrong to ask Mr. Huangfu to take the pulse again to see what was wrong, just an ordinary wind and cold, how could it make people cough up blood?

In fact, Song Ting didn't think that there was something wrong with the prescription, after all, Mr. Huangfu's medical skills and reputation were still trustworthy, and what he was worried about was whether Zhao Yuanzhen's body would be more than just a cold......

"Second son, it's so late! The hospital has long been closed! Li Bo persuaded.

"yes, let's wait for tomorrow." Qingzhu was no longer veiled at this time, and there was a terrible scar under the right side of his face.

"No! Her condition is urgent! Can't wait for tomorrow! Song Ting didn't say much, and simply ordered: "Uncle Li, help me call a carriage!" ”

"Second son...... It's so late, and there is no carriage anymore. Li Bo showed a look of embarrassment.

"Then I'll walk!" Song Ting said urgently.

"It's a five-mile road to the hospital, and it's a dark room, and you can't get there without an hour...... It's not safe in the middle of the night, how can you walk, second son? Li Bo patiently persuaded.

"I'll go." The Ghost Sword took a step forward and said awe-inspiringly.

Song Ting glanced at Youjian and couldn't help asking, "If the medical hall is closed, where will you go to find Mr. Huangfu?" ”

Youjian was stunned: "I ......"

At this time, Li Bo suddenly said: "By the way, second son, I have forgotten to tell you that we still have an old horse in the stable." Since last year, it has been rented to the Li family next door to feed the envoys, and this horse is still living in the Li family! ”

After listening to Li Bo's words and thinking about it for a while, Song Ting immediately decided: "Li Bo, go and lead the horse to the door, Youjian, you go with me!" ”

In the blink of an eye, the old horse was led to the gate of the Song Mansion, Song Ting stood aside, and the sword didn't understand what he meant, so he said bluntly: "You ride, I won't." ”

"......" Youjian didn't bother to roll his eyes, jumped into the saddle, and stretched out one hand: "Come up!" ”

Song Ting took her hand and got on the horse.

"Drive!"

Looking at the shadows of the trees behind him, Song Ting's mind felt a sense of dizziness, as if the heavens and the earth were spinning, and as soon as the old horse was upside down, he subconsciously grabbed the waist of the ghost sword.

With the reins in one hand and the whip in the other, the ghost sword could not spare her hands to stop all this, and besides, she was worried about Zhao Yuanzhen's condition at the moment, and she had no time to worry about this.

After all, it was an old horse, and after walking less than two miles, it was a little difficult to carry the two of them. The two had no choice but to stop and let the old horse rest for a while before continuing to hurry.

After walking for a while, the old horse could not walk, and he had to let it rest. The sword was furious: "I really want to kill you beast with a sword!" ”

After a few rests and walks, after more than half an hour, I finally faintly saw the four-character flag of "Huangfu Medical Hall" under the faint light, and at this time the husband was already beating the three watches.

The Huangfu Medical Hall had long been closed, Song Ting jumped off the horse, rushed to the door, knocked on the door and shouted: "Mr. Huangfu!" Mr. Huangfu! ”

The ghost sword led the horse behind him, and when he saw the door closed, he couldn't help but show a sad look on his face.

"Mr. Huangfu! Open the door! Song Ting continued to knock on the door.

The door was still closed, and there was no movement in the infirmary.

Song Ting impatiently knocked directly on the door: "Mr. Huangfu! Mr. Huangfu! ”

There was still no movement inside.

"I'll come." The ghost sword has been drawn, ready to break down.

"Hmm." Song Ting nodded and said, right now Zhao Yuanzhen's life and death are at stake, break him a door, it's a big deal to help him rebuild one. And if he delays saving people, he may have to feel guilty for the rest of his life.

Just then, the door opened.

It was not Mr. Huangfu who came out, it was one of his disciples, carrying a lantern, disheveled, yawning: "Master went out tonight, come back tomorrow if you are sick!" ”

As soon as Song Ting was about to ask, the Ghost Sword had already directly pressed the sword on the disciple's shoulder, and coldly reprimanded: "Where did he go?" ”

The disciple was suddenly frightened, and his legs trembled: "Are you, yes, here to see a doctor, or are you here to rob or rob?" ”

Youjian asked coldly again, "Can you see a doctor?" ”

Knowing that the two people in front of him were coming to see a doctor, the disciple dared to slowly push away the sword pressing on his shoulder, and said cautiously: "Don't hide it from the two of you, I am just a medicine apprentice of the master, and I only understand pharmacology, not medical science. So...... Sorry ......"

Ghost Sword asked again, "Are you the only one here now?" ”

The disciple said, "It's my turn to be on duty tonight, and the other brothers and sisters have gone home." ”

"On duty?" Song Ting's eyes stared straight at him, seeing that he was just sleeping a lot, and the lights were not lit, how could he look like he was on duty?

As soon as he saw Song Ting staring at him, the disciple immediately showed a frightened look, and said to forgiveness repeatedly: "Two, I beg you not to tell the master about my slack on duty...... If the master and other families find out, they will punish me heavily, please! ”

The lantern fell to the ground abruptly, and the disciple clasped his fists again and again.

Song Ting said sharply: "Then why don't you tell us quickly, where is your master?" We're looking for him now! ”

"Master, I really don't know where the old man went......" The disciple said with a sad face, "It's still Senior Brother who told me to keep watch tonight." ”

Seeing that he really didn't know, Song Ting's tone softened: "Then he didn't leave any clues before leaving?" Where does your brother live? ”

The disciple said helplessly: "Senior Brother lives near the City God Temple six miles away, so it's not easy to find him so late." As for whether the master left any clues...... Oh, I remembered! ”

His expression suddenly changed, and he said, "There was a fight among the villagers of Wujiapo today, and the master sighed when he heard the news...... Don't...... The master went to Wujiapo? ”

"Where is the Samurai Po?"

"Get out of this street and walk five miles southwest."

"Let's go, go to Wujiapo!" After saying a word to Youjian, as soon as he turned around, Song Ting suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around and asked the disciple, "Do you have a carriage at home?" Or horses? ”

The disciple said, "There is also a carriage." ”

Song Ting threw him a tael of silver: "Lend me one and pay you back tomorrow." ”

The disciple took the silver, turned left to the side courtyard to pull the carriage out, handed the whip rope to Song Ting, and said sincerely: "If the two of you see my master, let him rest early, don't even sleep all day long to see a doctor, let the disciples worry." ”

"Hmmm! Words must be brought. ”

After tying the old horse to the side of the hospital and changing into a carriage, the journey to Wujiapo became much faster.

Soon arrived at Wujiapo, on the spacious flat floor of a house, torches were lit everywhere, and people were crowded, barking and muttering, and dogs barking non-stop...... When I got closer, I saw a group of people standing in each direction, and the two groups of people were sometimes gossiping, sometimes you and I were talking, and it seemed that they were quarrelling; Closer to the two groups, it can be seen that several of the two groups of people have some strips of cloth and gauze wrapped around their heads and shoulders, and blood seeps out of the entanglements, obviously bandaged after being injured.

It seems that what the disciple said is true, there was indeed a fight here, and several people were injured by each other, and the wound treatment and bandaging of these injured people should be done by Mr. Huangfu.

These two groups of people are still pushing and scolding each other, but they don't dare to do it anymore, it seems that it is just the aftermath of the climax. They scolded local swear words, and Song Ting didn't really listen to them, but after hearing them mention "water" several times, he guessed that they should fight for the irrigation water source in the farmland.

Song Ting had no intention of getting involved in their quarrel, so he directly asked Mr. Huangfu if he could. When those people heard someone ask Mr. Huangfu, they suddenly stopped arguing and hurriedly told Song Ting: "He has gone to Mijia Village." ”

Song Ting asked where Mijia Village was, and someone gave him patient directions.

After thanking the guide, Song Ting got into the carriage and went to Mijia Village with Youjian. Behind him, the two groups of people from Wujiapo quarreled again. At this time, it was already the fourth watch, and it was not far from the time when the rooster crowed.

When he arrived at Mijia Village, Song Ting knocked on the door and woke up the two families, and finally asked Mr. Huangfu if he was at Dr. Ouyang's house at the moment.

"Doctor Ouyang......" Youjian was a little suspicious in his eyes, and said to Song Ting: "I have heard of an imperial doctor surnamed Ouyang in the Hanlin Medical Hall of the Imperial Palace before, and his medical skills are very good, but I have never seen it. ”

Song Ting said: "There are more people with the surname Ouyang in the world, let's not waste time, let's go to Mr. Huangfu quickly!" ”

"Hmm!" The sword agreed, and with a "snap", a whip was whipped on the horse's back, and the carriage continued to move forward.

At this time, in Ouyang Qingshi's house in Mijia Village, the firewood door was closed, and the light in the house was like beans, and the two old men were cooking wine and talking.

One of the old men was Mr. Huangfu, but Mr. Wen Huangfu sighed and said, "Brother Qingshi, how can you gain a foothold in this world?" ”

The other old man was Ouyang Qingshi, who listened to Huangfu Yangming's words, and shook his head with a wry smile: "The six thieves are in charge, how can they gain a foothold?" You and I can save one or two patients, but we can't save this dying ......"

I saw Huangfu Yangming make a silent action, and whispered: "You can just talk to me about this, but don't talk to outsiders!" ”

Ouyang Qingshi twisted his beard and sneered: "Among the six thieves, Cai Jing is called the 'public minister', and Tong Guan is called the 'concubine', which is a well-known thing. The old man is also a person who has half a foot in the coffin board, and he just says a few words, so what is there to worry about? ”

"Hey-" Huangfu Yangming frowned and sighed, picked up the pottery bowl, took a sip of wine, and then sighed: "What kind of world is this!"

Ouyang Qingshi took over and said, "Brother Yangming, before I resigned from the Hanlin Medical Center as a medical officer, a ridiculous thing happened in the palace, do you know?"

Huangfu Yangming said: "The capital is thousands of miles away in Yangzhou, and it is naturally difficult for me to know what happened in the capital."

Ouyang Qingshi asked, "Brother Yangming, do you know how many children the emperor has today?"

Huangfu Yangming shook his head: "The old man really doesn't know how many children the emperor has today."

Ouyang Qingshi coughed lightly and said, "There are eleven princes and seventeen princesses in the emperor today. The absurd thing I want to talk about has nothing to do with the current crown prince or any prince, but with the current nine princesses. ”

"Nine princesses?" Huangfu Yangming's eyes flashed with suspicion, "What does this absurd thing have to do with the Ninth Princess?" ”

Ouyang Qingshi sneered and said, "The Ninth Princess has been abolished."

"Huh?" The pottery bowl in Huangfu Yangming's hand fell to the ground abruptly, and shattered into a flower with a click.

Ouyang Qingshi knew that he had this reaction, so he was unmoved, staggered close to the kitchen, and took another bowl out before continuing: "Last year, the Liao people sent people into Beijing, and I don't know where I saw the portrait of the ninth princess, and named the fourth prince who asked the ninth princess to marry them...... But the six thieves and the current queen agreed that this was a great opportunity to get married, so they asked the emperor to agree to this family affair. The emperor naturally agreed. What is unthinkable is that the Ninth Princess herself would rather die than agree, and even made a big fuss in the Qinzheng Palace, directly scolding the six thieves for misleading the country and harming the people...... She wanted to crash to her death on the pillars of the Qinzheng Palace, but was rescued by the old man. ”

The charcoal in the stove was burned red, and the copper kettle overflowed with the aroma of wine, Ouyang Qingshi poured wine into Huangfu Yangming's bowl, and poured some into his own bowl, Huangfu Yangming asked curiously, "What about later?"

Ouyang Qingshi took a sip of wine, smacked his lips, and said, "Later, the emperor grounded the nine princesses, and as soon as the Liao delegation arrived, he held a peace ceremony and signed an alliance. Who knows...... The ninth princess actually ran out secretly by herself, chose a man outside the palace, and told the emperor that it was her husband, who had already visited the church and married. ”

Speaking of this, Ouyang Qingshi paused, cleared his throat and continued: "The ninth princess's move made the emperor angry, and the emperor was angry, so he cut her title and expelled her from the palace."

"This ......" Huangfu Yangming's old face trembled slightly, his face was full of sorrow, and he said: "What a sin!"

Ouyang Qingshi smiled, "What's wrong?" The nine princesses were born to the lady concubine and have been ostracized by the queen. Now that I can get out of the deep palace safely, it's not necessarily a bad thing! ”

Huangfu Yangming stroked his old beard and smiled: "But it's also the ...... of this principle."

"Come, drink!"

The two of them raised their bowls and were about to drink, but the chaimen was pushed open, and a man and a woman walked in, both young and anxious, and shouted when they entered the door: "Mr. Huangfu!" Mr. Huangfu! ”
