The army of the Western Wandering Demon returned victoriously from the Western Regions, but unexpectedly, when they were about to arrive at the border of the Tang Dynasty, the main general Li Jing was attacked by a hidden arrow and was killed on the spot.

After the remnants returned to Beijing, the female emperor heard that although the Western Army won the final victory, it also paid a very heavy price for casualties. In addition, the main general Li Jing was assassinated when he was approaching the Tang Dynasty, and the female emperor was both sad and lonely, but also sad and angry. As a double blow, the female emperor was seriously ill and did not eat or drink for several days.

The national teacher Ming Shiyin practiced evil spirits every day, but there was no obvious improvement. Shangguan Wan'er accompanied the female emperor day and night, and the plain eyebrows that were as moist as jade fat and as beautiful as the west side were gradually eroded and destroyed by the unconcealable sorrow, and became gloomy and haggard.

Naturally, the heavy responsibility of capturing the murderer who assassinated Li Jing fell on Di Renjie's shoulders. Di Renjie knew that Ming Shiyin had a relationship with the demon clan, so Ming Shiyin became the object of his primary suspicion. Therefore, Di Renjie secretly sent someone to supervise the National Teacher's Mansion.

Li Yuanfang: "My lord, this is the feather arrow that shot General Li Jing to death." Its sharpness can penetrate iron like mud, far beyond the feather arrows of the various military camps under its command, so it can easily penetrate General Li's helmet and kill him with one blow. ”

Di Renjie: "Is there really no such arrow in the ordnance department of the Tang Dynasty's military camps?" ”

Li Yuanfang said firmly: "After I checked one by one, there is indeed none!" ”

Di Renjie frowned and fell into deep thought.

Li Yuanfang: "Your Excellency ......"

Di Renjie: "Huh? Speak. ”

Li Yuanfang: "Could it be from the people?" ”

Di Renjie: "Unlikely, this kind of texture of feather arrows is even more difficult for the people to reach." ”

Di Renjie closed his eyes, and fell into a blur of contemplation, the mist of agarwood spread out everywhere on the Huanghuali case, charming and beautiful......

Suddenly, he opened his eyes suddenly.

"There is only one person who can bring this kind of powerful arrow feather to Chang'an." Di Renjie was like having an epiphany.

Li Yuanfang: "My lord, what do you mean...... National Teacher! ”

Di Renjie got up and approached the window: "Can there be anyone else?" Since the national teacher is in cahoots with the demons, how can he let go of the main general who dealt such a heavy blow to the demons! Moreover, as soon as the Lord will die, this merit of destroying the demon clan will naturally fall into the hands of his righteous son Pei Baohu. ”

Li Yuanfang nodded again and again: "What your lord said is extremely true, then I will lead someone tomorrow to search the National Teacher's Mansion on the pretext of catching thieves and looking for physical evidence." ”

Di Renjie: "It's not proper, the national teacher is cunning and has hidden dissenting ambitions, how can he still tolerate physical evidence in the mansion." ”

Li Yuanfang: "My lord, what should I do?" ”

Di Renjie blew the fire fold, lit a new agarwood, and said slowly: "It's better to trace the source than to the end, since the national teacher is from the Western Regions, why not go to the Western Regions to find out, and when the source of this sharp arrow is found, the origin of the national teacher must be unclear." ”

Li Yuanfang: "My lord, then I will leave for the Western Regions tomorrow." ”

Di Renjie: "Relying on you alone is not enough to make things come to light, you take my jade pendant and go to meet Cheng Yanjin of Jialan Temple in the Western Regions." When he sees this jade pendant, he will naturally help you. ”

Li Yuanfang took the jade pendant and hid it between his sleeves.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, this trip Yuan Fang will not disappoint you."

Di Renjie nodded deeply.

Shangguan Wan'er saw that the secret technique of the national teacher to drive away evil spirits and bring blessings was useless, so she sent someone to invite Bian Que, a miracle doctor who was famous for his medical skills.

However, Bian Que is a quirk by nature, does not admire the powerful, does not envy the prosperity, and does not treat the official and eunuch family, let alone the imperial family. Shangguan Wan'er sent people to invite many times, but all of them were rejected behind closed doors.

Shangguan Wan'er was helpless, so she had to remove her gorgeous clothes, take off the carvings, put on coarse cloth, and personally drove the carriage to take the unconscious and increasingly thin female emperor to Bian Que's hospital in the dustless temple.

Shangguan Wan'er: "Divine doctor, my mother was heartbroken because of my father's death, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and since then she has been in a slump, sleeping in bed day and night, and the grain is hard to swallow. ”

Where has Bian Que ever seen Her Majesty the Empress today, just as an ordinary person. Compassion paused, and he stretched out his hand to take the pulse.

Bian Que: "Fortunately, you came in time, if you are a day late, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything." ”

Subsequently, Bian Que handed the written prescription to Shangguan Wan'er.

Bian Que: "Use snake gall bladder as medicine, decoction three times a day, and you can wake up after three days." ”

Shangguan Wan'er: "Thank you Divine Doctor, this kindness is unforgettable." ”

Shangguan Wan'er took out a golden hairpin from her sleeve and put it on the case.

Bian Que said: "Jin Hai still hopes that the girl will take it back, I made an exception for treatment this time, not because you changed your makeup and shoes, but to repay Di Gong's kindness back then." ”

After speaking, Bian Que got up and turned back to the back hall.

The female emperor went out of the palace for medical treatment, which is a great state affair. Of course, Di Renjie knew that he sent many patrol guards to change their civilian clothes and hide around Shangguan Wan'er and his party.

After taking the elixir of the divine doctor Bian Que, three days later, the female emperor gradually woke up, and her appetite gradually improved. After 10 days, you will be able to walk on the ground without the help of others.

On this day, Di Renjie entered the palace to visit the empress.

The female emperor: "Lonely's condition has improved, thanks to Aiqing's best friend." It is better to announce him into the palace and be the head of the imperial doctor. ”

Di Renjie: "Your Majesty, I can't hide it, when he fell into the hands of bandits, I helped him and saved him from fire and water." Now he has saved my lord from danger, and he does not seek grace and glory, but he hopes that your majesty will fulfill him, and I will not have a fellowship with him in vain. ”

Shangguan Wan'er whispered in the empress's ear: "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to investigate, and that miracle doctor has never appeared in Kyoto since he treated His Majesty, and no one knows where he is going." ”

Wu Zetian lowered his eyes and sighed lightly, and Po Ying said pitifully: "Hey, let him go." It must be Lonely, break his dust and practice......"
