When Tang Ao regained consciousness, the first feeling was that his whole body was extremely sore, ten times more uncomfortable than when he had chopped firewood in the Biochemical Temple for a day.

Tang Ao opened his heavy eyelids with difficulty, and after his vision blurred for a while, he was greeted by a set of curtains, the figure in front of him swayed, and when he looked at it, it was the old man and the young who rescued him from the mouth of the Xuyan Tiger.

Di Renjie saw Tang Ao open his eyes, his accustomed hand caressing his beard, and exclaimed: "Liu Shenwei's medical skills are really outstanding, and he deserves to be a disciple of the Medicine King. ”

"Lord Di is reasonable, this king saw Sun Shenxian a few years ago, he walked like a fly when he was over eighty years old, and he was no different from a young man, according to Liu Shenwei, Sun Shenxian also cured the disease for the tiger, and after the healing, the tiger bowed his head and thanked him, such means are indeed among the immortals."

Di Renjie squinted slightly and looked at the young man who was talking, and praised it in his heart, when the young man came to the door and asked him for the main points of the detective case, Di Renjie didn't care.

Later, I learned that the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy in front of me turned out to be the seventh son of His Majesty today, Li Xian, who is the king of England.

Different from Di Renjie's expected nobles of the dynasty, Li Xian has an excellent temperament, not only approachable, but also extremely intelligent, and brave, he accompanied Li Xian for a few days, Li Xian entered the door of the detective, which made him full of praise.

Di Renjie and Li Xian turned the topic around Tang Ao on the bed again, Li Xian reached out and touched Tang Ao's forehead, and said with a long breath: "Liu Shenwei said that as long as the forehead is not hot, there is no danger to life, it seems that Tang Ao is fine." ”

"This son is the most important witness, Xuyan stole and killed dozens of children, only Tang Ao survived, it can be regarded as a big fate, and it is even more blessed to meet His Highness to save his life."

Li Xian smiled slightly: "Master Di is the Buddha of all families when he closes this case, but I don't know why Xuyan specializes in stealing and killing children?" ”

Di Renjie shook his head: "Xia Guan is also very confused, Xu Yan is a famous monk in Chang'an City, he left the Great Ci'en Temple a few years ago, and he didn't expect to be listed in the Shenghua Temple, and the Xia Guan began to investigate the case of the child's disappearance, more than a dozen clues are concentrated in the Shenghua Temple, who would have thought that it was Xuyan's poisonous hand!" ”

Tang Ao listened to the conversation between the two and realized that it seemed that the children who died in vain by Xuyan must be because of him.

Back then, Xuyan picked up the glittering corpse on the bank of the moat, maybe he heard something, and targeted the child, and he was sent to the Biochemical Temple by mistake, is there such a certain number in the dark?

Tang Ao sat up painfully, got out of bed and wanted to worship Di Renjie and Li Xian, he almost died and survived, the dangerous scene is vivid, if it wasn't for the rescue of the two people in front of him, I am afraid that he would have already returned to the underworld.

"The two life-saving graces, Tang Ao will never forget it, please accept Tang Ao's worship." After Tang Ao got out of bed, he knelt on his knees and kowtowed to Di Renjie and Li Xian to thank him.

Li Xian hurriedly helped Tang Ao up: "You are injured, you don't need to be polite, look at the books and ink in your meditation room, you are also a person who knows books and etiquette, and when you see someone in need of help in the future, you will repay my kindness." ”

Di Renjie said on the side: "Tang Ao, you can recuperate from your injuries with peace of mind, after the injury is healed, the official still has something to ask you, now it's better to go back to bed and rest!" ”

Li Xian helped Tang Ao to lie down on the bed, and said to the door: "The prescription prescribed by Liu Shenwei of the Tai Hospital, go to decoction now, remember to put some sugar, so as not to be difficult to eat." ”

"Good medicine is bitter, I am not afraid of bitterness." Tang Ao heard Li Xian's careful advice to add sugar to the decoction, and his heart was moved, he was very close to Luo Bingwang before, and now he feels that Li Xian is a good friend.

Li Xian saw that when Tang Ao spoke, his little face was tense, and his expression was resolute not like a child, and he couldn't help but move in his heart, and a thought came to him.

I don't know if Liu Shenwei is a great doctor or Tang Ao swallowed a stomach full of elixir, and he recovered after lying on the bed for three days, during which Di Renjie also came to ask some things about Xuyan, and signed the confession.

At this moment, Tang Ao looked at the books placed at the head of the bed, as well as a broken mirror, and was stunned, the Biochemical Temple definitely couldn't go back, so where should he go? The young boy's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he couldn't find a clue.

The sound of footsteps behind him made Tang Ao come back to his senses, and when he saw Li Xian in a gorgeous costume, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted.

From Di Renjie's mouth, Tang Ao already knew Li Xian's identity, and he turned out to be the seventh prince of the current emperor, and he was a prince, so he naturally couldn't be lazy.

Li Xian stopped Tang Ao from saluting and said with a smile: "Are you worried that you have no place to live?" If you really don't have a place to go, you might as well go into the palace with this king, this king still lacks a companion to read, I don't know what you think? ”

Tang Ao listened to Li Xian's words, and his expression was stunned for a moment, this is simply a good thing that falls from the sky!

Accompany the king to drive, learn literature and martial arts, and sell goods in the emperor's house, these are the words that Tang Ao often reads in books, but he didn't expect that Li Xian would look down on him and invite him to the palace to read with him.

"The prince's kindness, Tang Ao can't ......repay it" Tang Ao just wanted to say something thankful, but was interrupted by Li Xian.

"Flattery, this king has long been tired of hearing it, and you can't learn those useless articles, the time is not early, so follow this king into the palace!"

Tang Ao walked out of the courtyard with Li Xian, and met Di Renjie who was returning to the house, Di Renjie had already persuaded Li Xian, who had a private visit to Weifu, to return to the palace as soon as possible, and saw Li Xian change into the prince's regular clothes, and his heart was suddenly relaxed, but when he saw Tang Ao, who was carrying a burden on his shoulders and following Li Xian's side, his brows couldn't help frowning.

"Your Highness, it's late, I'm afraid the palace door has been locked, it's better to rest in the Xiaguan Mansion for another night, and tomorrow morning, the Xiaguan will personally send His Highness back to the palace."

Li Xian jumped away from others, but in the face of Di Renjie, he always seemed to be a little restrained, so he had to live in Di Renjie's mansion.

Tang Ao is not good at communication and conversation, but he has a calm temperament and a smart brain, and when Di Renjie gave him a look, he understood that Di Renjie had something to look for him.

Sure enough, when Li Xian fell asleep, Di Renjie came to the door.

"Master Di, I don't know what happened to Tang Ao?" Tang Ao let Di Renjie into the room, poured Di Renjie a cup of herbal tea, and served it with both hands.

Di Renjie was very satisfied with Tang Ao's knowledgeable and well-behaved temperament, but after seeing through Li Xian's thoughts, he couldn't help but want to say something to Tang Ao.

Di Renjie took the tea bowl and put it down, and asked: "Tang Ao, I see that you often have four books and five classics on your desk, and the traces on the inner pages are not shallow, you must be familiar with it, you have heard about it before, I have also heard in the market, you child, there are some strange things, but the palace is inside, after all, it is different from ordinary people's homes, and it is very different from the Shenghua Temple. ”

When Tang Ao heard this, he suddenly realized that Di Renjie was waking him up and telling him how to behave in the palace, and immediately thanked him: "I must remember Master Di's teachings." ”

"His Royal Highness has an excellent temperament, and it is indeed a shortcut for you to enter the palace to study, but between the palaces, the danger is no less than the battlefield of the flames, you must correct your mentality, and only read the books of the sages, and don't make extraneous ......branches."

Di Renjie and Tang Ao talked for half an hour, and they thought that there was nothing left out of what they should be told, so they got up and left.

Tang Ao sent Di Renjie away, he had the feeling of listening to Jun's words, better than reading for ten years, admiring Di Renjie in his heart, and feeling that Master Di was not only extremely powerful in investigating the case, but also familiar with all kinds of situations in the world.

I don't know if it's because he is going to enter the palace tomorrow, Tang Ao didn't feel sleepy at all, and subconsciously, or habitually, meditated up on his knees.

The clear stream flowing out of the mind, according to the description of the Tao Sutra, runs the whole body, and after ten weeks, the restlessness in the heart disappears, and the state of mind that does not belong is swept away.

Tang Ao didn't know what the effect of cultivating the Tao Sutra was, but if he meditated and practiced every day, his state of mind could always maintain peace and integrity, which was actually the only way to gather his heart.

Regarding Xuyan's various strange abilities, Tang Ao intuitively thought that it was related to the cultivation of the Dao Sutra, but it was a pity that he couldn't find the introductory know-how except for refining and refining qi to strengthen his body.

When the sky was bright, Tang Ao got dressed and waited outside Li Xian's bedroom with his baggage, and Tang Ao couldn't think of this before changing.

But last night he got Di Renjie's guidance, Tang Ao quickly found his position, he is Li Xian's little scholar, if he really regards himself as the prince's companion, it is beyond his strength, and he has no self-knowledge!

Li Xian and Tang Ao said goodbye to Di Renjie and rode directly to the imperial city in the carriage arranged by Di Renjie, Tang Ao looked at the palace that was getting closer and closer, and his eyes showed a little excitement and excitement.

As early as when Chang'an West City was fighting, Tang Ao had seen the highest imperial city from afar, although he could only see the faint outline and color, but it had left a deep memory in his small heart.

The carriage drove into the gate of the Imperial Palace, Tang Ao pushed the window and looked, the first thing that caught his eye was the glazed tiles among the leaves, reflecting the rising sun, a dazzling light.

The thick stone pillars of the palace are carved with golden dragons, and the golden filigree and golden scales are lifelike, as if they are alive and ready to soar for nine days.

The carriage entered the Chengtian Gate, even if it entered the palace city, the scenery here was better than the outer imperial city, Tang Ao couldn't find the appropriate adjective, he could only sigh at the beautiful scenery here, suspected of the heavenly palace in myths and legends.

Not far from Chengtianmen, Li Xian asked someone to stop the carriage, and in the palace city, even if he was His Royal Highness the Prince of the Dynasty, he did not dare to make a mistake.

Li Xian pointed in different directions and introduced the main buildings in the palace to Tang Ao, such as the Taiji Palace, the Liangyi Palace, the East and West Second Palaces, etc., and Li Xian, because he was still a minor, lived in the West Palace like other minor brothers and sisters.

The two of them stopped and went, Li Xian was about to go to the Yeting Palace to arrange a place for Tang Ao to live alone, and wanted to ask Tang Ao about his preferences, but before the words could be spoken, a bow and arrow sounded and he remembered.

Tang Ao saw it clearly, a feather arrow went straight towards Li Xian, not only fast, but also with a breathtaking whistle, Tang Ao didn't think about it, raised his hand and pushed Li Xian away.
