"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Wu Yuanqing and Cheng Chu silently opened the door and rushed out. After going out, he found that the cry of pain was not from the guards outside, so he ran out of the courtyard and came to another courtyard separated by a wall to find the person who made the sound.

They thought that there were blind guards who wanted to shoot arrows at the emperor's dormitory, but when they arrived, they found that it was far from the case, but it was not an easy thing to do.

"General, Master Hou, he was bitten by a poisonous snake."

Hearing this, Wu Yuanqing and Cheng Chumo found that there was a long object on the ground that was not too bright under the reflection of the torches, and the head was chopped off, but the mouth was still open and closed, and the body was still writhing.

There was a guard leaning against the wall not far from the snake, his trouser legs lifted to reveal his hairy black legs, and there were two tooth holes in his calf bone, surrounded by several guards who were holding strips of cloth to his knees to stop the spread of the toxin.

"Hurry up and call the imperial doctor, and after you tie it, make a cross in his wound and squeeze out the poisonous blood." Seeing that the bitten guard's face was not bad, Wu Yuanqing felt that this poisonous snake should not be a highly poisonous snake, but it had to be treated quickly.

"Chu Mo, you told the guards on the night patrol to be careful, you must be able to see clearly when you pass through the grass and the corners of the wall." After the imperial doctor came over, Wu Yuanqing said to Cheng Chumo again.

"Okay, got it. You go back and rest first, and I'll talk to Pauline." Cheng Chumo nodded.

"What are you resting for, I'm afraid that snakes will bite me if they crawl into the house." Wu Yuanqing made a joke, and then said: "How can you sleep here, I'll go to Your Majesty's side to guard it, it seems that there are really a lot of snakes and insects in this place, although this is the first guard to be bitten, but tonight the night patrol found a long snake This is already the fourth."

"No, it's the sixth, and when you go back to the house, you find two more tones, so it's the sixth." Cheng Chumo's face was quite ugly when he talked about this.

"This is like following up the snake's nest, I found so many in the first half of the night, and I don't know how many I can come across in the second half of the night, you hurry up and tell Baolin, be careful, I'll find the doctor in charge of the medicine to get some realgar powder, I have to hurry up and sprinkle more around Your Majesty, and a few concubines, don't really have a long snake crawling in to disturb the holy driver." Wu Yuanqing scolded loudly.

"Okay, go ahead, I'm sorry for you." Cheng Chumo knew that this was not the time to be polite, and he was relieved to have Wu Yuanqing to take care of him.

and Cheng Chumo acted separately, and when Wu Yuanqing arrived at the emperor's dormitory, he saw that Yu Chi Baolin was not there, and when he asked, he knew that Yu Chi Baolin went to the West Gate, and there was also a guard over there who was bitten by a snake, or a highly poisonous pit viper, and when he shouted that the imperial doctor had no half life in the past, the imperial doctor had already given medicine, as for whether he could survive or not, it was up to fate to see luck.

"Damn, Yan Lide of the dog day, what the hell did you choose. It's even named after my wife's title, damn, it's really unlucky." Wu Yuanqing scolded but didn't forget the business.

Distribute the small half bag of realgar powder to the two guards who are more careful, and let them go to the windows and doors of the other concubines' bedrooms to sprinkle some.

He himself carried the remaining bits and scattered all the doors and windowsills of the emperor's bedroom, and scattered the rest to some corners at the back of the house. Wu Yuanqing was afraid that a snake would climb up from some pillars behind the house and burrow from the roof into the dormitory.

No way, can't be careless, this time is different from those houses with roofed structures in later generations. At this time, they are all wooden structures, and those on the roof that are plastered with plaster are easy to have holes that are not made, which will inevitably leave a passage for snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Especially rats and snakes, rats can drill anywhere, and then snakes eat mice, and they will chase mice.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for this snake rat to appear anywhere, but there are not many snakes in ordinary places, so there is no need to worry about it, but there are too many snakes here, and if you follow up the snake nest, you have to worry that there will be snakes running to the roof of the emperor's bedroom.

"Master Hou, Your Majesty called you in." Just after Wu Yuanqing was busy sprinkling realgar powder, the dead eunuch Xiaode, who had just been scolded by Wu Yuanqing, came out to let him in.

..............

"I heard the noise outside, what's going on, why are you outside if you don't sleep?" Li Shimin half-leaned on the bed and asked a little sleepily.

"Ahem. A guard was bitten by a snake, and the minister was worried about His Majesty's safety, so he came to see and sprinkle some realgar to prevent it." Wu Yuanqing was choked by the smell of mosquitoes in the emperor's house and coughed several times.

Seeing that mosquito coils were lit everywhere, Wu Yuanqing scolded the dead eunuch Xiaode with hatred in his heart.

"I heard Xiaode say that there are a lot of snakes?" Li Shimin asked again.

"Yes, a lot. There were patrols in several places where the guards found snakes." Wu Yuanqing nodded and said.

"Oh, then you go down, pay attention to safety" Li Shimin nodded solemnly.

"Yes."

..............

The long night passed quietly in Wu Yuanqing's strong spirit but drowsiness, and when the sun rose the next day, he dared to go back to sleep after changing to a group of energetic guards on duty.

He didn't dare to go back to bed and lie down, so he put the two tables in the room together and lay down, and then he had already had a fight between the upper eyelids and the lower eyelids, and he almost fell asleep as soon as his head hit the table.

When I woke up again, it was already ten in the evening, and when I went out, I heard from Cheng Chumo, who had just woken up, that the emperor had ordered to return to Luoyang tomorrow in the morning, and ordered the abolition of Xiangcheng Palace and the distribution of it to the local people.

Yan Lide, the master craftsman who was responsible for the site selection and construction of Xiangcheng Palace, was also dismissed from his official position by an order of the emperor because the place where Xiangcheng Palace was located was full of snakes and insects, and the site was inappropriate.

When he heard the news, Wu Yuanqing first breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he didn't have to stay in this ghost place, and then he agreed with the order to remove Yan Lide from his official position, and gritted his teeth and scolded.

After eating, it was night again, fortunately, he slept for a day and was not very sleepy, Wu Yuanqing stayed outside the emperor's bedroom again for a night, and the next day the royal car set off to return to Luoyang, he slept all the way in the carriage, and the carriage bumped like that did not affect his snoring.

After returning to Luoyang, Wu Yuanqing finally returned to his normal work and rest time, slept peacefully until dawn, got up at three o'clock in the morning, got up and eaten, and walked around the street alone, went down to the restaurant to eat something when he was hungry at noon, and then continued to shop, and returned to bed when he was tired in the middle of the afternoon.

The days of rice worms are very pleasant.

Then until the end of March, the emperor ordered the sealing of Mount Tai in April, and the magistrate on the road to the sealing of Zen had something to do.
