Chapter 140: Tanuki for Prince
When I woke up this morning, the wind was a little cooler.
Liufu has been clean for a long time, since the last time Ke Yu came to make trouble, there have been no foreign visitors to visit, Liu Wuxian sits in front of the desk in the study every day to read, as if it has become a solidified daily activity.
The secret guards who were hidden in the dark were still conscientiously guarding at first, but later they were also a lot more relaxed, because they only needed one or two people to hide in a fixed position every day, and they could grasp Liu Wuxi's whereabouts with a glance from time to time, so these rare and quiet secret guards also began to neglect their precautions.
Liu Wuxian opened the window as usual today, found a book on the bookshelf at random, and sat in front of the desk to study.
Unlike in the past, Liu Wuxian was a little sleepy when he read today.
Xiaoyue City, inside the Imperial Palace Medical Pavilion.
Liu Wuxian, who was supposed to be sitting in the study of Liufu and reading a book, appeared in the pharmacy of the Medical Pavilion in plain detail, he was wearing the costume of an imperial doctor, wearing a jade crown on his head, and holding an extremely realistic human skin mask in his hand.
Liu Wuxian wiped the dust on the mask, and used the water in the water tank on the side as a mirror, covering the mask tightly.
There were several pots of soup and medicine boiling in this pharmacy, and Liu Wuxian added a few flavors of medicinal herbs to the soup pot according to the recipe, and it was when the lid of the box was added to the fire, and the personal maid of the young city lord arrived outside the door.
"Imperial Doctor Lin, you have delayed the time for the routine pulse request, and the master of the young city ordered the slaves and maids to come and invite Imperial Doctor Lin to Dongnuan Pavilion." The maid entered the door and said to Liu Wuxian.
"Weichen should be damned, he was so busy today that he forgot to ask the young city lord for a pulse, so Weichen will go with Miss Wanyi." Liu Wuxian bowed down in fear.
"Imperial Doctor Lin is polite, how can the slave and maid afford the word girl, Imperial Doctor Lin, please come with me." The maid Wanyi bowed her knees in return, her face slightly red.
Liu Wuxian followed behind Wanyi, walking unhindered all the way until he came to the main hall of the outer hall of the East Warm Pavilion.
"Young City Lord, Imperial Doctor Lin is here." Wanyi entered the inner hall to report, leaving Liu Wuxian alone to wait in the outer hall.
"Get out, let him go!" A moment later, Ke Yu's angry voice came from the inner hall, "Does a little imperial doctor dare not take me seriously?" I Ke Yu don't need him to ask for a pulse, let him get out of me! ”
Immediately after that, there was a crisp sound of porcelain cracking in the inner hall, and Liu Wuxian heard it clearly in the outer hall, thought for a while, and went straight into the inner hall.
When Liu Wuxian came in, he was bumping into Ke Yu and throwing a small jade bottle towards Wanyi, who only accepted it, not knowing how to dodge at all, and let the artifact smash at herself.
"Get out of here, who told you to meddle!" Ke Yu was furious, and the utensils in his hand had been thrown away by him, leaving only a pair of crutches.
"Miss Wanyi, let Weichen come." Liu Wuxian stepped forward, stopped the small jade bottle that Ke Yu threw at her forehead, and said softly.
“…… The Imperial Doctor of Laolin Tears flowed in Wanyi's eyes, and she ran out towards Ke Yufu's blessed body.
"Why did the young city lord make such a big fire?" Liu Wuxian swept the debris on the ground, lifted his robe and walked towards Ke Yu.
"Didn't you hear me tell you to! Do you want to die? Ke Yu said angrily.
"Young City Lord, Weichen is here to diagnose and treat the pulse of the Young City Lord, how can you say that you can get out of here, and abandon the Young City Lord." Liu Wuxian took out a soft pillow from the medicine box and put it under Ke Yu's wrist, and then he was about to catch Ke Yu's pulse.
"Huh! Didn't you forget to ask me for a pulse today! If you have neglected me, why do you want to be here! Ke Yu withdrew his arm and was about to drop the soft pillow off the bed, but his wrist was suddenly grabbed by the Imperial Doctor Lin in front of him, Ke Yu was annoyed, and immediately shouted, "You are bold!" ”
"Xiaoyu, it's me." Liu Wuxian pressed Ke Yu's wrist back to the soft pillow, and then took his pulse.
"Liu Wuxi?" Ke Yu was taken aback, and looked at the flawless Imperial Doctor Lin in front of him for a long time, but he still couldn't see the slightest flaw.
"It's me, I heard that your father put you under house arrest, so I wanted to come and see what was going on." Liu Wuxian was still holding on to his veins, but he detected some abnormalities in his veins.
“…… You've also heard that my father recognized a twenty-year-old child outside, saying that he was his own flesh and blood left behind in the people. Ke Yu didn't struggle anymore, but leaned back on the bed with a depressed expression.
Liu Wuxian then turned his gaze to Ke Yu's face, but he hadn't seen him for a few days, he was much haggard, and his body was much thinner than the last time they met, his face was withered, there was a circle of cyan stubble on his chin, and his eye sockets were sunken, at first glance he looked like a terminally ill and incurable patient.
"You're getting the cold shoulder?" Liu Wuxian paused and asked.
"It's just a villain who tends to be inflammatory." Ke Yu said coldly.
"What about your father? Can I see you again? Liu Wuxian took Ke Yu's other hand, cushioned it with the palm of his hand, and put it on his pulse again.
This time Ke Yu didn't answer, his sunken eyes were slightly moist, but the tears never fell.
After a long time, Ke Yu said, "Liu Wuxian, I'm an outcast, I don't have the slightest use value, what else are you going to do?" ”
"You're my cousin." Liu Wuxian didn't say much, got up and came to the table to spread out the rice paper, and polished the ink.
"I'm a wasted person, I can't help you, and I can't help Su Yan." Ke Yu's chapped lips cracked slightly, and a bright red stain appeared on his pale lips, "In the future, don't come." ”
"Don't say that, it's just that the leg is useless, and it's not that the heart is dead." Liu Wuxian took a pen and dipped it in ink, and wrote on the paper while thinking.
"Isn't my heart dead now?" Ke Yu looked up at the top of the bed and forced the tears back into his eye sockets.
"Xiaoyue City is still waiting for you, how can you die with your heart?" Liu Wuxian raised his eyes and glanced at him, and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, "Xiao Yu, the things in this world, if you don't fight for them, you can't wait." This is true of Xiaoyue City, and so is your father's trust in you. Are you willing to let Xiaoyue City fall into the hands of a person of unknown origin? Let him master the lifeblood of Xiaoyue City? Decide the life and death of Xiaoyue City? ”
"My father has arranged for him to take care of the affairs of the city, and I have been completely abandoned, how can I win back my father's trust?" Ke Yu smiled and said in despair.
"If you want to, you can do it." Liu Wuxian blew dry the ink and put the pen back on the pen holder, "This medicine can cure the poison in your body, I will let Imperial Doctor Lin boil it on time, and then send it over in person." ”
"Detoxification? When did I get poisoned? When Ke Yu heard this, he was shocked, he was poisoned, why didn't he have any symptoms at all?
"This poison is called Jing Zheng, and there will be no symptoms at the beginning of poisoning, but the poison will accumulate in the body, and when it reaches a sufficient amount, the poisoned person will die peacefully in his sleep, and there will be no abnormalities after death, so that people cannot find out." Liu Wuxian summed it up succinctly, "Someone wants you dead. ”
"I'm already an outcast, who else wants me dead?" Ke Yu sneered, but it was very incomprehensible.
"Someone wants you to die, it means that you are not useless, and you still have the value of living." Liu Wuxian folded the prescription and put it in the medicine box, and returned to Ke Yu's side, "Xiao Yu, Imperial Doctor Lin is my person, you can trust him." In addition, you have to find out for yourself who poisoned you every day by some means, otherwise, even this prescription will not save you. ”
"......" Ke Yu seemed to want to say something, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.
"Xiao Yu, if you change your mind, want to win back your father's trust in you, and want to re-establish your majesty as the young city lord of Xiaoyue City, let Imperial Doctor Lin come to me." Liu Wuxian packed up the medicine box, and when he left, he left such a sentence that made Ke Yu toss and turn for a long time.
Xiaoyue City, Yuqiong Pavilion.
Shen Jiangli pinched a grape in his hand, looked the next person up and down a few times, and said with satisfaction, "Your disguise technique is good, isn't it stealing from Qingcheng Yuan?" ”
"The master of the sect is wise, and his subordinate disguise technique has indeed been instructed by the elders of Qingchengyuan." Ji Qing bowed and said.
"What is the situation in the Xiaoyue City Palace? Ke Zhifeng, does that old guy suspect you? Shen Jiangli retracted his gaze and looked at the grapes in his hand instead.
"No, Ke Zhifeng trusts me and has already handed over all the affairs of Xiaoyue City to me." Ji Qing said.
"How is Ke Yu?" Shen Jiangli peeled off the grape, carefully sucked the flesh in his mouth, and then threw the grape skin aside.
"The subordinates bought Ke Yu's personal maid and ordered her to add a little Jing Zhongsan to Ke Yu's bath water every day, this medicine is extremely difficult to detect, once the poison is poisoned, there is no way to return to the sky." Ji Qing said.
“…… Anyway, this can be regarded as a good death for Ke Yu. Shen Jiangli frowned slightly, revealing a little imperceptible displeasure, "You continue to play your Ke Yi in the palace, I have already dealt with it over there, if there is a message, I will send someone to contact you." Also, where did you bury that dead bat? I sent someone to clean it up. ”
"You don't have to bother the master of the door to make a move, the female earth bat is dead." Ji Qing said.
"Your actions are neat, it's not too early, go back." A fierce look flashed in Shen Jiangli's eyes, he waved his hand at Ji Qing and said with his forehead.
"The subordinates retired." Ji Qing bowed down and retreated, and did not forget to close the door to Shen Jiangli when he left.
"There is no corpse ......" Shen Jiangli hissed coldly, and his heart couldn't help but shake.
When did the blue wolf accept such a ruthless person, loyalty is loyalty, but the means are a little cruel. Tell him to pretend to be a female earth bat, he will make people dead, and ask him to enter Xiaoyue City to replace Ke Yu, and he will kill Ke Yu unknowingly and unknowingly.
Shen Jiang sighed with a low sigh from his forehead, this Ji Qing is a little too useful.
This time, when he came here to seek business, he must not put all the treasures on this Ji Qing, who is not easy to control.
Ke Zhifeng has always had an illegitimate child in exile, he asked Xiu Yi to help him find his son a few years ago, Xiu Yi has been looking for many years, he didn't find it sooner rather than later, but he found it at this time.
The twists and turns in this can be seen clearly by a clear-eyed person, only Ke Zhifeng, the old guy who is looking for a child, can't see through it.
And he sent Ji Qing to replace the female earth bat sent by Xiuyi to pretend to be Ke Yi and stationed in Xiaoyue City, which could not only gain insight into the movements of Xiuyi and the Western Desert, but also hold the lifeblood of Xiaoyue City. It can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
But now, his plan may have to be slightly changed because of Ji Qing.
