Since Banrong swore that only she could find Master Xu Xi, then she should naturally go to find it, but Liu Yan was worried that if she left, once the emperor's illness recurred, who would deal with it?

If he wants to believe in that group of useless old imperial doctors, he really can't do it, and Banrong is also a little embarrassed, after thinking for a while, he took off the sachet on his waist, handed it to Liu Yan and said: "You take someone to find it in Songshan, just say that I tested the medicine for the patient, and the poison is incurable, and there is only one breath left."

"......What if" Liu Yan hesitated a little, and after saying a few ifs, he asked again, "What if...... I can't find it? Will my father be able to hold out until I come back? ”

Concubine Gao Xian was also a little uneasy when she heard this, and hurriedly looked at Banrong and said, "Yes, Miss Sun, how long can Your Majesty's illness last?" ”

After all, this is the emperor, not an ordinary person, Banrong neither dared to tell the truth, nor did he dare to make up the day, so he could only grit his teeth and say: "This is not good, the time when the disease occurs is the most dangerous time, I am now using acupuncture to control the emperor from getting sick, but when the disease occurs, I really don't know." ”

Liu Yan licked his dry lips and made up his mind: "Then my father will ask you, and I will take someone to find the mountain." ”

When Concubine Gao Xian heard his words, her eyes were shocked, and she hurriedly called him aside, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to go to Zhushan in person?" ”

"Yes, mother, my father is so sick that I can't afford to delay for a moment, so I want to take someone to find Xu Xi quickly." Liu Yan didn't hear the sound of Concubine Gao Xian's words.

Concubine Gao Xian glanced at the hospital bed, then at the ministers outside the hall, and quietly reprimanded: "You kid, why are you so insensitive? ”

Liu Yan looked at her in surprise, she looked around and said, "The concubine knows that you have filial piety, but if something happens to your father, and you are not in Jiankang, what should I do if there is a mess in Jiankang at that time?" Isn't there anyone in the East Palace who can go to Xu Xi instead of you? I think that Chu Shenxia is quite smart, why don't you let him find it? ”

"That's what the concubine said. After Erchen goes back, he will definitely discuss it with Shen Xia. After listening to Concubine Gao Xian's words, Liu Yan always felt like a thief, so he retreated cautiously.

As soon as Liu Yan came out. The ministers waiting outside rushed forward like bees and asked, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, how is Your Majesty?" ”

"Does Your Majesty's illness matter? What did the imperial doctor say, should you post a notice and ask some folk doctors to try? ”

"Is Your Majesty awake? Xiaguan still has an urgent report. ”

“…………”

Liu Yan only felt that his brain was confused by the words of these ministers, and shouted: "Shut up for me!" Noisy and yelling. Father is going to be woken up by you inside! With Dr. Sun here, what are you worried about?! If there is an urgent report, send it to the East Palace! ”

was yelled at by Liu Yan like this, all around were silent, Liu Yan raised his legs and wanted to leave, the people in front of him stood motionless, and he couldn't help but say at the moment: "What are you doing standing like wood?" Are you idle ministers and have nothing to do? ”

The ministers from all directions finally dispersed like the tide receding, Liu Yan took a breath and hurried to the palace gate.

To his surprise, Chu Shenxia was waiting for him in Xuanwumen. Looking uneasy and anxious, Liu Yan trotted to the carriage and asked without taking a breath, "Why are you here?" ”

"I'm afraid something will happen." Chu Shenxia simply said four words, but it was like a boulder pressing on Liu Yan's heart, and he couldn't breathe anymore.

Just inside the house, the concubine had already told herself once, and at this moment, Chu Shenxia specially rushed to the gate of the palace to remind herself, but Liu Yan was heartless at first, and she didn't notice anything. After thinking about it, I felt that I was too careless.

If Liu Yu and others took advantage of their father's serious illness to attack the East Palace, and then controlled Jiankang. So what should the Southern Song Dynasty do? As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, his father is seriously ill but can't keep the country, isn't he going to be called a waste?

Liu Yan suddenly felt that he was shouldering a heavy responsibility, and he couldn't relax anymore, and his tone was heavy: "My father is seriously ill, and Banrong said that she can't do anything." Only when her master Xu Xi comes out of the mountain, her father can save her, but I can't leave Jiankang, so I want you to look for it on my behalf. ”

Chu Shenxia nodded slightly, took the sachet handed over by Liu Yan, and praised and promised: "When you are in danger, Your Highness's thinking is still so clear, it is really not easy, Your Highness can rest assured, I will definitely bring Xu Xi back." ”

When Liu Yan heard what he said, his face was a little unnatural, and he patted him on the shoulder to hide his uneasiness, "After you go back to the East Palace, remember to bring more people, the mountains are big, and it is not easy to find." ”

"Your Highness won't go back to the East Palace with me?" Chu Shenxia's eyes flashed, and when he asked this, he already had the answer in his heart, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes and ask, "Could it be that His Highness is going to the military camp?" ”

Liu Yan nodded, and said with a heavy expression: "In any case, Jiankang's safety is the most important, and the rest, let's talk about it when my father wakes up." ”

"Okay, then Your Highness take care," Chu Shenxia was about to retire, when he suddenly remembered something, and admonished, "By the way, the Zhu family is a military general, and Concubine Hui has many nephews and nephews who are good at practicing martial arts and leading soldiers, if Your Highness is not enough, although I believe in a few of them, the Zhu family will still rely on Your Highness now, and will never stab Your Highness in the back." ”

Liu Yan was really speechless at this time, except for nodding heavily, he watched Chu Shenxia get into the carriage with a serious face, and then led the horse on the side, and ran in the opposite direction.

Seven days later, Chu Shenxia sat in the same carriage with an old man, and set off from the foot of the mountain towards Jiankang, he roughly estimated that it should be seven days to Jiankang, a long fourteen days, can the emperor hold on?

If you return on horseback, you can naturally save a lot of time, but Chu Shenxia glanced at the old man in front of him and swallowed all the thoughts in his heart.

Xu Xi's face was not very good-looking, I don't know if it was the first time he asked, "What kind of poison is in the half-face?" ”

"This ...... I didn't know anything about medicine, I didn't know what kind of poison Miss Banrong had, and Miss Banrong herself didn't know, so I came to Mr. Xu. Chu Shenxia didn't know how many times he had patiently answered him.

"And what's wrong with her body? Is your face dark? What is the color of the tongue coating? Can you still walk? "Xu Xi seems to want to dig the problem to the end today.

Chu Shenxia was a little helpless, but she couldn't help it, so she had to stiffen her hair and say blindly: "I can't tell whether her face is black or yellow, I just feel that her face is very bad, and her body is weak and can't sit up." ”

Xu Xi saw that he finally asked something from his mouth, so he stopped talking, lowered his eyes and thought about it, thought for a while and sighed, leaned back and closed his eyes.

Just when Chu Shenxia thought that he would finally not ask, Xu Xi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Chu Shenxia and asked, "By the way, Banrong has an antidote to all poisons, why doesn't she take it?" Or is it useless to eat? ”

Chu Shenxia was stunned when he met his inspecting gaze, and secretly muttered to the old fox in his heart, but with a smile on his face: "I don't know, Banrong didn't tell me, she has used a lot of medicine herself, and I don't know what medicine she used." ”

Xu Xi saw that he didn't know what to ask, so he didn't have the heart to ask again, and after thinking about it, he thought that Banrong was not young, so he looked at the person in front of him again.

"You said your name is Chu ......"

"Chu Shenxia."

Xu Xi was reminded by him, and suddenly realized: "Oh, yes, Chu Shenxia, I remember that I seemed to have seen you once in Jincheng before." ”

"Yes, Mr. Xu was invited by Banrong to treat Miss Ruoyu at that time." Chu Shenxia lowered his head slightly to show respect.

"On the way here, Banrong and I often heard her talk about you, think about it, the relationship between the two of you is very close, right?" Xu Xi's sloppy old eyes suddenly tightened, staring firmly at the young man in front of him.

"The half-tolerant girl is a kind person, and whoever is close to her will inevitably praise her a few words." Chu Shenxia lowered her head and chuckled, thought for a while and said, "I don't know what she said about me in front of Old Mr. Xu?" ”

Xu Xi also laughed, "She, she said that you became a general at a young age, you are honest and courageous, and you are a trustworthy person." ”

Chu Shenxia was silent after hearing this, which made Xu Xi strange for a while, wanting to ask but not knowing how to speak.

In order to shorten the distance as much as possible, Chu Shenxia did not go in the direction of the post station, but chose a deserted mountain road, and the group rested here for a night.

Moving forward like this, he only arrived at Jiankang two days early, and in front of the East City Gate, Chu Shenxia suddenly became a little uneasy.

I wonder if Jiankang City is as calm as ever these days? Xu Xi on the side also looked extremely nervous, Banrong's illness must be very serious, if she didn't make it to her back, what kind of face would she have to see her parents after she died?

After passing the city gates, there was the market, which was still as lively as usual, and the voices of the people came into the carriages.

"I heard that the emperor has been sick for half a month, and he hasn't woken up yet, I'm afraid it's ......"

"No, I think Jiankang is quite calm, nothing happened, those officials who should be corrupt are still corrupt, and those who should be investigated are also investigating."

"Don't you know, now every night after the curfew, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will personally patrol with people, and some people will see that the palace is full of soldiers......"

After Xu Xi heard this, his eyes couldn't help but tighten, looking at Chu Shenxia, but seeing that he was always looking at his shoes with his eyes down, and never met his gaze, he said a little angrily in his heart: "You tell me honestly, is Banrong poisoned in the end?" ”

"Nope." Chu Shenxia didn't plan to hide it anymore at this time, and replied briskly and simply.

"You want me to save the Emperor?" Xu Xi sneered, sat up straight and said, "It's just delusional, I never treat people in the palace, and try my best to trick me into Jiankang, do you think I will break the experiment I have set?" It's ridiculous! ”

Without waiting for Chu Shenxia to reply, Xu Xi shouted loudly to the outside world: "Coachman, stop!" ”
