In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Xuanhe put on a full guard of honor and set off for Beijing.

Empress Pei and the six princes were all called to accompany them and sat together on the imperial chariot of the Son of Heaven.

The carriage that Cheng Jinrong and Du Tidian were riding was behind the Son of Heaven. In case the Son of Heaven is summoned at any time. Cheng Jinrong approached the window of the car and looked out, and the figure of He Qi riding a horse and carrying a treasure knife came into view.

He Qi seemed to notice Cheng Jinrong's gaze, and occasionally turned his head to look back.

The two looked at each other through the bamboo curtain, their eyes touched, and they smiled at each other.

Du Ti shook off goosebumps and coughed lightly.

Cheng Jinrong retracted his gaze and looked at Du Tidian: "What does the master command?" ”

Du Tidian reminded half-jokingly and half-seriously: "After the emperor returns to the palace, he will convene the ministers to discuss the matter, and he will definitely worry about hard work, which is greatly detrimental to recuperation." You and I have to be mentally prepared, and when we return to the palace, I'm afraid that you and I won't be able to be idle. ”

Without waiting for Cheng Jinrong to ask, he lowered his voice and said: "The emperor's treatment is not a secret. No one dares to ask the emperor, and there will be no shortage of people who secretly inquire about you and me. You must remember that you must never tell the truth. Even if your eldest uncle's family asks, you can't say half a word. The same is true of the Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, and Captain He. Whoever asks you can't tell. ”

"As a full-time imperial physician of the Son of Heaven, you must keep your mouth shut."

Speaking of which, Du Ti smiled and looked solemn: "Jinrong, you are extremely talented, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are a young miracle doctor." But to be a good doctor, you can't just rely on medical skills. ”

"If you want to go further and stand taller, you have to be cautious. Holy prelude is right, not exactly the truth. Now that the emperor values you, of course he can tolerate one or two. But when the emperor's dragon body heals in the future, and you settle old accounts, you won't be able to bear it. ”

Du Ti's words can be described as bitter and heart-wrenching.

Cheng Jinrong's heart swelled with warmth: "I have written down everything that Master said. Master, rest assured, I will never reveal the emperor's dragon body to anyone. ”

"As for the Holy Prelude...... I know Master is for my good. However, I don't agree with Master's idea. ”

"As a doctor, it is the doctor's duty to tell the symptoms directly. The emperor clearly knows what his illness is, and he can be less suspicious. I thought I was doing nothing wrong. ”

Du Ti point: "......"

Du Tidian and Cheng Jinrong looked at each other for a long time, and finally lost the battle, and sighed helplessly: "That's it!" I'm already old, and the older I get, the more I'm afraid of death, not as sharp as you. ”

"Since you insist on this, I won't talk much in the future."

Anyway, with the protection of Queen Pei, the support of the six princes, and the fiancé of the prince of Pingguo, Cheng Jinrong occasionally angered the Son of Heaven, and he did not worry about his life.

Cheng Jinrong smiled slightly: "Master's care and love for the disciple, the disciple understands it." ”

Du Ti stroked his beard and smiled: "Where is it, in the future, I, the master, can slowly retreat and rely on the face of my disciple to raise the old man." ”

This is, of course, a joke. Emperor Xuanhe's old illness has been cured, and there is no serious danger to his life. There is no need to rush to the point.

The master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled.

……

The weather was hot, and at noon, the royal driver stopped to rest.

Gonggong Zhao was ordered to summon Du Tidian Cheng Jinrong: "Please ask Du Tidian and Imperial Physician Cheng to go to the Imperial Palace." ”

The master and apprentice received the order together and went to the royal chariot with Zhao Gonggong. The chariot is extremely luxurious and spacious, and can accommodate more than a dozen people. In order to make Emperor Xuanhe more comfortable, a narrow couch was set up on the imperial chariot.

Emperor Xuanhe was lying on the narrow couch, and Empress Pei and the six princes were guarding the narrow couch, all full of concern.

"Du Tidian, Imperial Doctor Cheng," after walking for half a day, Emperor Xuanhe's spirit is not bad: "Come and diagnose my pulse." ”

Although Emperor Xuanhe called Du Tidian first, Du Tidian did not compete for the first place, and signaled Cheng Jinrong to diagnose the pulse first. Of course, Cheng Jinrong didn't let it, and he didn't shirk it, and stepped forward to diagnose Emperor Xuanhe's pulse.

Everyone's eyes fell on Cheng Jinrong's face.

Cheng Jinrong's expression was calm and calm, and after checking the pulse for a while, he let him over. After Du Tidian also diagnosed the pulse, the master and apprentice discussed in a low voice for a moment before opening their mouths to report: "The emperor's pulse is quite stable, but his heart is too hot, and he needs to calm down." At this time, there is a lot of inconvenience, and after returning to the palace, you can prescribe medicine and drink it for a few days. ”

As soon as he thought of the border war, Emperor Xuanhe was angry in his heart, where could he calm down?

Emperor Xuanhe hummed casually, waved his hand, and motioned for the two to retreat.

When Cheng Jinrong's master and apprentice retreated, Empress Pei comforted softly: "The Tatars are ambitious, and their covetousness for Da Chu has never stopped. Letting the prince come to Dachu as a hostage is just an expedient measure. Sooner or later, this battle will have to be fought. ”

After a pause, he said softly: "The concubine doesn't understand court affairs, so she doesn't dare to talk nonsense." It's just that the border pass suddenly started a war, and the timing was really coincidental, and it happened that the emperor was in Huangzhuang......"

Emperor Xuanhe's eyes darkened.

He was extremely suspicious, and after thinking about it repeatedly for a day and night, he had already suspected Yuan Silan.

Empress Pei's euphemistic "reminder" made Emperor Xuanhe even more angry.

The sixth prince spoke much more bluntly: "Tatar is far away outside the pass, and when my father came to Huangzhuang, maybe someone secretly sent a message out of the capital." That's why the Tatar cavalry attacked the border so 'coincidentally'. ”

"After my father returns to Beijing, he will have to be strictly ordered to investigate."

A cold look flashed in Emperor Xuanhe's eyes: "I know it in my heart. He smiled and praised the six princes: "Xiaoliu has also grown up, and he knows that he has shared his father's worries." ”

The sixth prince Zhengse responded: "Erchen can't wait to grow up immediately, and he can personally lead the troops to the battle, step on the Tatar cavalry, and make the people of Dachu live and work in peace and contentment, and there will be no external troubles." ”

It is precisely because of the young age of the sixth prince that these words are particularly sincere.

Emperor Xuanhe's heart moved slightly, and he looked at the six princes: "Little Liu, you used to like to read the most, and you didn't like to practice arrows and martial arts." Now this temper has changed a lot. ”

The six princes raised their eyes, and stopped talking.

Emperor Xuanhe raised his eyebrows: "I want to say something, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

The sixth prince plucked up the courage and whispered: "If the father wants to listen, the son will speak boldly." The father and emperor liked the heroic young man the most, and several royal brothers worked riding and shooting. The sons were young and didn't want to compete with their brothers, so they simply focused on studying. In fact, Erchen also likes to ride and shoot to learn martial arts. ”

Emperor Xuanhe: "......"

Emperor Xuanhe's face instantly sank, and anger flashed in his eyes.

Emperor Xuanhe's temperament was gloomy and uncertain, suspicious and fickle, and he turned his face faster than turning a book. Seeing that the situation was not good, Queen Pei immediately scolded softly: "Little Liu, don't hurry up and stop talking." ”

"Queen, let him speak." Emperor Xuanhe said lightly: "Before I return to Beijing, I want to listen to Xiaoliu's heart." ”
