After the people in the lobby retreated, Wang Tiehammer did not retreat immediately, but followed Liu Tianxi into the back hall, and the stick also followed Wang Tiehammer in. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Entering the back hall, Liu Tianxi sat down on the chair, picked up the tea that had already been brewed and tasted it carefully.
"Adult, the little one is here."
"Alright, come in." Liu Tianxi greeted, and the king iron hammer stepped over the threshold and walked in. When Wu Liangjie also followed him and raised his feet to prepare to enter, Liu Tianxi said with a trace of unhappiness on his face:
"Wait, who is this man? Is my dignified prefect's yamen something you can enter if you want to? ”
"Adult, small master Wu Liangjie, today's pleadings are small ones." Wu Liangjie put his feet back, bowed outside the door and said.
"Oh, what do I care about you, Wu Liangjie and Liu Liangjie, a little master, and you also want to go in and out of my prefect's yamen?" Liu Tianxi said without looking at him.
"Didn't you hear? Lord Liu told you to get out! After Wang Tiehammer heard that Liu Tianxi did not want to see this person, he immediately changed his face when he asked him to write the pleading, and became arrogant.
"But I ...... the money for writing the pleadings"
"Money, money, money, money? Know who I am? I don't know how to go on the road to inquire, it's your honor to write a pleadings for Lao Tzu. Something that doesn't open your eyes, get out! Wang Tiehammer shouted.
",,!" Wu Liangjie scolded secretly, his face was extremely ugly at the moment, but he said: "Yes, the little one will get out." He took three steps back and went out. If Wang Shaoan saw this scene, he would definitely applaud.
"Hey, hey, Wang Tiehammer, come on, come on, taste my good tea, it's already brewed." Seeing Wu Liangjie leaving, Liu Tianxi smiled again, this Wang Tiehammer didn't have anything else to do when he followed up, just to send him money, he only gave half of the two thousand taels of silver promised before, and half of it hasn't been given yet. And the two of them have been in cahoots and have been harming the people for many years, and this routine has long been familiar.
Xiu'an's palace is magnificent, with rockeries, ponds, pavilions and gardens all over the place.
At this time, the huge Xiu'an Palace, all of them were shrouded in a serious atmosphere, from the princess and Mrs. Zhang, to the maids and servants, all of whom had tense nerves on their faces.
Outside the king's bedroom, a young man of fifteen or sixteen was pacing anxiously back and forth, while a noble lady was fidgeting in the gazebo in the courtyard, and occasionally looked towards the closed bedroom door. This young man is the young man who looked for Wang Shao'an before, his real name is not Zhao Xiaobai, but Zhao Bocong, he was just named the king of the county this year, and his father is a real prince, so people in the house or who know him call him the little prince. This noble lady was his mother, the princess Madame Zhang.
He is the biological son of King Xiu'an, because there is a white character in the word Bo, so he has a nickname called Xiaobai, and he is also white, these two words are simply tailor-made for him.
He has always been lively and cheerful, but today he is not happy, because his father King Xi is critically ill, and the emperor sent a royal doctor out of the palace to see the king.
After a long time, the closed door finally opened with a "squeak", and Zhao Xiaobai and Mrs. Zhang hurriedly greeted it.
"Lord Lu, Lord Wang, how's it going?" Mrs. Zhang hurriedly asked.
"Hey!" Imperial Physician Lu sighed heavily, he looked speechless. On the wrinkled face, the brows are furrowed, and it seems that there are many more wrinkles.
"Master Lu, you are talking! Do you want me to kneel down for you and beg you, you are willing to say! Zhao Xiaobai was already anxious, but seeing that his mother-in-law wanted to say but didn't say it, he was even more anxious, and he stepped forward and grabbed Lord Lu's hands and shook for a while.
"The little prince is angry, the lower officials don't dare, it's just that the condition of this prince is gradually getting worse, according to this situation, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's ......," Lord Lu said in a slurp.
"If you don't say it again, be careful that I cure your sin!" Zhao Xiaobai waved his sleeves and shouted.
"The lower official is guilty! The little prince is angry! Lord Lu fell to the ground and said: "The prince has not been sick for a day or two, and it is reasonable to aggravate the condition, according to this trend, within three months, I am afraid that the soul will return to Huangquan!" The lower officials are incompetent, please ask the little prince and his wife to prepare for the prince at any time! ”
Imperial Doctor Lu was so frightened by Zhao Xiaobai that he said it all in one go.
"Lord Lu, you are the imperial doctor with the highest Chinese medicine skills in the Hanlin Medical Academy, and even you said that you are hopeless, is my prince really destined to be like this?" Mrs. Zhang showed a desperate look on her face, King Xiu'an is the pillar of the palace, and Zhao Xiaobai is still young.
"Alright, alright, get up." Zhao Xiaobai waved his hand at Imperial Doctor Lu.
"Thank you, little prince, the official will say goodbye and come to visit the prince tomorrow." Imperial Doctor Lu stood up tremblingly, arched his hand at Zhao Xiaobai, and was about to withdraw from the courtyard when Zhao Xiaobai spoke again.
"Wait!" Waiting, under the Lu Imperial Doctor, he thought that Zhao Xiaobai was going to be angry with him.
"What else does the little prince command?"
"You don't use it tomorrow, go down." Zhao Xiaobai sighed and said.
"Yes!" Imperial Doctor Lu retreated three times and walked out of the small courtyard.
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she was anxious: "Xiaobai, why did you tell the imperial doctor not to come, who will treat your father?" ”
"Even if he moves the entire Hanlin Medical Academy, he can't save his father, what's the use of asking him to come? Every time, it's either that there is no way or no way. Zhao Xiaobai said.
After saying that, he walked up the steps, gently pushed open the heavy door and walked in, the bedroom of the king was very spacious, and the decoration was extremely luxurious. On the wide bed, there was a man less than fifty years old, his face was bloodless, his lips were white, he was as thin as wood, his eyes blinked weakly, and when Zhao Xiaobai appeared in his sight, his face showed a somewhat kind smile.
"Father......" Zhao Xiaobai looked at his father's appearance, and two lines of tears flowed down. He respected his biological father the most since he was a child, and when he recalled that when he was a child, his father personally took him to hunt tigers and wolves in the mountains, and to catch rabbits in the snow, he couldn't help the sadness in his heart.
"You are now, but the little prince, a manly man, who bleeds without tears. Silly children, don't cry, don't cry, this person, as long as he is not a fairy, he will be born, old, sick and die, your father has enough scenery in this life, and he will definitely be in the prince and the prince in the next life. King Xuan raised his thin arm, wiped it on Zhao Xiaobai's face and said.
At this time, Zhao Xiaobai finally couldn't help it, and cried bitterly when he lay on the bed. The prince let him cry, and quietly stroked Zhao Xiaobai's head with his hand. Although he was reluctant, he knew his physical condition very well, but with such a filial and sensible son, even if he died, he would die without regrets.
