The group returned to Kyoto City, and the people welcomed them like a triumphant classman, and Bu Tong looked at Tang Xuanlin, who had a low-grade fever, in the carriage, and closed his eyes all the way.

"Now you want to enter the palace and return to the palace?"

Tang Xuanlin knew that Bu Tong was worried, so he deliberately smiled easily,

"It's okay, the plague is rampant, and the courtiers are involved, this is not a trivial matter, Your Majesty is also worried about it, and you must return as soon as possible."

Bu Tong looked at the bandages on his arms that were still oozing a little bit of blood,

"The Fourth Highness naturally wants to enter the palace too, why do you have to go."

Tang Xuanlin stretched out his intact right hand to touch Butong's head,

"It's not in the way, after all, Your Majesty handed over the pox epidemic to Dongchang, and His Royal Highness is just going to treat the patients, and it is inappropriate to ask him to return together."

This makes sense, Bu Tong nodded,

"I'll send you some decoction to replenish qi and stop bleeding."

The carriage came to a sudden stop, and a shrill voice spoke,

"Your Majesty's Command!"

Could this be the internal officials in the palace, I haven't seen it yet, Bu Tong said in his heart: I want to see it for a long time.

Immediately followed Tang Xuanlin out of the car, Mu Hesheng had already knelt down, the two followed and knelt down, and the eunuch began to announce the decree, "Your Majesty has an order, Tang Xuanlin and the fourth son of the emperor Mu Hesheng entered the palace to reply, and the lord of Changping County, Butong, entered the palace to be sealed, a few, come with the miscellaneous family." ”

Bu Tong trembled when he heard this shrill and hoarse voice, if Tang Xuanlin was like this...... That's a blessing.

"Son's command."

"Commandment."

Bu Tong hurriedly bowed his head, "The courtiers are in charge." ”

There is a reward, and you have a title?

Bu Tong happily followed the palace people into the palace, and sent Chun Tao and Chang'an home to report the good news first.

This is not the first time Bu Tong has entered the palace, but it is definitely the most proud, the palace maids and palace people who passed by saw Bu Tong calling "little gentleman" to make a big salute, Bu Tong only felt as if he was being regarded as a savior immortal, and approached Tang Xuanlin and whispered,

"Xuanlin, how long will it take to get to the imperial study, I'm really about to be overwhelmed."

Mu Hesheng looked back at Bu Tong's embarrassed appearance, "Ah Tong can afford it, don't be too humble, everyone admires you, and they all want to take the opportunity to greet you at first sight, if not, where did so many palace people come from on this road." ”

Tang Xuanlin nodded, slightly pale and looked a little haggard, but his tone was still relaxed,

"The matter of Tong'er has already been reported in Kyoto City, and I am afraid that even the people on the street will gather in the Nankoku Mansion to ask to see 'Little Mister'."

Bu Tong sighed and muttered to himself, "Ancient people chasing stars can be real energy. ”

……

Bu Tong's impression of His Majesty today is that he has been cultivating all year round but is still entangled, and he is sick, and people who have been sick for a long time will always go to the doctor in such a hurry, but now His Majesty is also a good emperor who works hard, but he is not in good health and can't take care of too much, and his subordinates naturally have more wolf ambitions.

The imperial study is still so empty and solemn, Emperor Mu is in good spirits today, sitting on a high position and looking at the mountain scrolls piled up below, several people knelt down,

"I've seen Your Majesty."

"I've seen my father."

Emperor Mu smiled and stepped forward to help him personally, "Get up quickly, this time the matter was handled beautifully, and my father is satisfied." ”

Mu Hesheng bowed his head, "It is my duty to share the worries of my father and the emperor and to dispel the difficulties of the people." ”

Emperor Mu went to help Tang Xuanlin again, "I heard that Xuanlin is injured, get up quickly, come here, give Lord Tang a seat, and let the imperial doctor send some medicines later, thanks to you by my side, if I am afraid that the national strength will decline under such a great difficulty, there will be no turnaround." ”

Tang Xuanlin arched his hand, "Your Majesty Longen values it, it should be like this, and his subordinates are terrified to receive this praise." ”

Mu Di turned to look at Butong,

"The daughter of Big Brother Bu's family is really a phoenix among people."

Butong knelt and bowed his head to the ground,

"Courtier, thank you for your compliment."

Mu Di smiled and came to help, "Get up, Xiao Tong'er, this time it's fortunate to have you." ”

Bu Tong got up and looked at Mu Di's kind appearance, and bowed his head slightly,

"My father and brother are all Your Majesty's courtiers, although Butong is a daughter's family, but I am infected by my father and brother every day, and I am willing to contribute to Your Majesty."

Mu Di laughed, "Quite your brother's temperament, women don't let you shave your eyebrows, good boy!" ”

Bu Tong smiled and went to see Tang Xuanlin, but found that he was completely guarded, his gloomy eyes were staring at the ground, and there was no reaction, just because he was unwell and nervous.

"Your Majesty, why don't you listen to what His Royal Highness and Lord Tang have to say?" The palace man who brought Butong and them in smiled at Emperor Mu with a sharp voice.

Bu Tong felt goosebumps all over his body, it seems that Tang Xuanlin has cultivated himself into the current loyal and resolute, and it is not easy to have a strong aura.

Mu Di sat down with a smile, "Sheng'er, you talk about it first." ”

Mu Hesheng arched his hand, "Back to my father's words, I waited for a group to arrive in Dongyi City, the city infected the people nine times out of ten, fortunately the little sister of the Bu family medicine to help the world, saved the whole process, and then the illness repeatedly, Ah Tong improved the prescription, and since then there has been no death, but Cheng Jichuan, Dongyi County, died of serious illness. ”

"Ji Chuan?" Mu Di muttered, as if he was trying to remember this person, and after thinking about it, he immediately glanced at Mu Hesheng deeply,

"It can also be regarded as sacrificing my life for the country, and I will order a commendation."

Mu Hesheng thanked him and retreated aside, and Emperor Mu turned to Tang Xuanlin, "Xuanlin, you went to arrest Wu Thirteen, but it was delayed for a long time, I read that the report I wrote back mentioned the mastermind behind the pox epidemic, is the pox epidemic really man-made?" ”

Tang Xuanlin got up and saluted, "Your Majesty Shengming, after the preliminary investigation by his subordinates, there is no doubt that it is man-made, Wu Shisan has confessed, and he is the chief envoy of his brother-in-law, the current Shangshu Guo Jianxin, in order to make a false appearance of a disaster from heaven, deliberately spread the pox epidemic to Dongyi City, and has achieved his goal, and his subordinates want to escort the prisoner back to Kyoto in advance to report to His Majesty, but he encountered a killer on the way to rob and kill ......"

After Tang Xuanlin finished talking about all the matters of Lingyin Temple, the smile on Emperor Mu's face slowly turned melancholy, "Aiqing, when I returned to Beijing for the first time, I suspended Guo Jianxin's position and made him reflect in the mansion, but he refused to admit his guilt, only said that he was a traitor and slandered, and now if there is no evidence, I am afraid that he will not be able to confirm his crime." ”

Tang Xuanlin bowed his head and received the order, "Your Majesty, rest assured, Your Majesty will continue to look for the little novice who escaped with the token and find out the case." ”

Mu Di nodded again and again, "With Qing like this, I can rest assured." ”

As for this, there is only one county lord mother left to be rewarded, Mu Di looked at Bu Tong, "Tong'er, there is still a month before the New Year, I have discussed with your father, it is better to wait until the New Year canonization, both festive and glorious, the harem knows that you are coming, sent some rewards, and I brought them with me, and go back to prepare for a good life." ”

Bu Tong knelt down to thank him, he only felt that this matter was quite cumbersome, but since it was the glory of the family, he would be happy to come to his parents.

"It's a shame to have this honor, courtier, Your Majesty."

……

Butong returned home, there were really a lot of people in front of the door, Mu Hesheng and Tang Xuanlin escorted Butong into the door, and the people were all shouting "the county lord's mother is Chitose", Butong smiled and waved to everyone, and then entered the door.

Bu Tingyun got the news earlier, and now Mrs. Qi and Bu Yiyang and his wife were waiting in the front hall, and when they saw a few people coming, they came forward with a smile and saluted.

"Your Majesty and your family have met His Royal Highness the Four Princes."

Mu Hesheng hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Lord Nanguo doesn't have to be formal, this trip is fortunate to have Miss Bu's help, and the people of Dongyi City can turn the crisis into safety. ”

As soon as these flattering words came out, Bu Tingyun almost lost his eyes with laughter,

"Stupid little girl, how can you get such an honor."

Chang'an replied, "My lord, more and more people are gathering outside, can you let Miss go out to meet." ”

Bu Tingyun looked proud, but he still deliberately made an embarrassed appearance, "After all, she is the daughter of the boudoir, what kind of system does it become to show up like this." ”

Bu Yiyang couldn't help but speak behind him, "Father, Tong'er is in the refugee camp on the outskirts of the city and Dongyi City, I'm afraid that she has already shown her face cleanly, why should my father bother with this?" ”

Bu Tingyun turned his head and glared at him, "You are a sin, you still don't shut up, no matter what your sister says, she is also an adult daughter's family, and it is just for the country and the people outside, if you don't know how to restrain yourself when you return to Kyoto City, how will you allow others in the future?" ”

Bai Peony gently pulled Yi Yang from behind, "Yi Yang, don't talk back to your father." ”

Bu Yiyang retreated stupidly and stopped making a sound.

Mu Hesheng stepped forward and smiled and relieved, "Lord Nanguo can rest assured that Ah Tong is a smart person and has such an act, in the future, I will not be able to find a good family for the county lord's mother, and I am not talented, and now I am willing to be a guarantor with the adult, and the noble daughter of the house will definitely be able to get a good son-in-law in the future." ”

Nan Guogong's satisfied eyes roamed on Mu Hesheng's face, until Tang Xuanlin on the side staggered for a moment, Chang'an quickly supported him, and said worriedly, "Lord Tang's injuries have not been cured yet, but some can't hold on?" ”

Bu Tingyun noticed at this time, "Lord Tang is very grateful for taking care of the little girl this time, but he was injured?" ”

Bu Tong stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Qi's arm, looking like her little daughter was frightened,

"Father, mother, when we returned to the city, we encountered a group of killers, all of them were killed, Lord Tang was injured by the white feather red iron arrow in order to protect his daughter, in order to return to His Majesty as soon as possible, he only bandaged it briefly."

"How's that okay?" Mrs. Qi was so worried, "If the red iron arrow falls on the body, you have to tear off a piece of flesh and skin if it doesn't hurt people's lives, hurry up, hurry up and help Lord Tang to go to the wing, Jingzhao, and call the medical officer." ”

Seeing this, Bai Peony hurried to the front to lead the way,

"Lord Tang, please come here."

Although Bu Tingyun felt that it was inappropriate to take in Tang Xuanlin in the house, it was really difficult to refuse because Mrs. Qi had already spoken, and Mu Hesheng smiled and saluted,

"Then thank you Nanguogong."

In this way, Bu Tingyun had to smile and return the salute, "Lord Tang's family is righteous and righteous, and he shares his worries for His Majesty, which should be like this, not to mention that he was injured by the little girl, and his subordinates should take care of him." ”

……

After the greetings, Mu Hesheng and Bu Tingyun went to the study to sit for a while, and Bu Tong rushed to the backyard in a hurry, and Bu Yiyang came out of thin air and blocked Bu Tong's way.

"What are you anxious about? He won't die later. ”

Bu Tong pouted and looked at him,

"My brother is a squire in the military department, how can he be so small-bellied chicken intestines, that Tang Da has saved Tong'er's life several times, and now he is seriously injured by blocking arrows for me, my brother can still say cool words, isn't it too much of a villain."

Bu Yiyang glared at Bu Tong, "Where do I have a small belly chicken intestines?" Why is it a villain? ”

Butong pushed him away and walked forward,

"Is it a gentleman's behavior to be obsessed with worldly eyes and treat benefactors lightly?"

Bu Yiyang followed behind, "When did you see me treat him slowly?" Fang just asked Peony to arrange a place to live, don't you know why? ”

Bu Tong was stunned for a moment, and looked at Bu Yiyang with some surprise,

"Is it ......?"

Bu Yiyang snorted, "The heart of a little woman is really comparable to a villain, in vain for your brother, I think that the overseer is barely reliable, and it is convenient for your sister-in-law to arrange it next to your yard, you little thing with a bad conscience, you scolded me angrily before I finished speaking." ”

When Bu Tong heard this, he knew that he was wrong and blamed Bu Yiyang, and went up to grab his arm with a hippie smile.

"Brother is the best, now this is, accept Xuanlin?"

Bu Yiyang "ruthlessly" slapped Bu Tong away, "Don't come to this set, I didn't promise him to be a brother-in-law, it's just that you like it, you can't suffer anything from him, and you are still sincere, so let's leave it at that." ”

Bu Yiyang followed Bu Tingyun's hard-hearted and soft-hearted problem, Bu Tong heard this, and knew that he was with Tang Xuanlin, and his brother probably acquiesced.

The two walked straight to a courtyard, Bu Tong looked at the white peony and greeted him, and hurriedly smiled and thanked him.

"In the end, it is still my sister-in-law who is the most thoughtful, I was delayed in Dongyi City a few days ago, and I didn't congratulate my brother and sister-in-law on great joy, and my little sister is really guilty."

Bai Peony pulled Bu Tong to the courtyard, "Tong'er is so polite, it's all what the family says, what you did in Dongyi City is a great good deed for the country and the people, I am now on the street, and I am recognized as the people of the Nanguo Mansion, I don't know how many people come to send me this and that, making people happy and embarrassed." ”

Bu Yiyang followed behind with his hands behind his back, his face full of pride, "Father is happy now, and he finally has a child to fight for the family." ”

Bu Tong went back and smiled at him, "My brother took over the military department, the young man is proud, and my father must be pleased." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the door, and two medical officers came out, beckoning their families to prepare something to deal with the trauma.

Butong hurriedly stepped forward,

"Doctor Officer, how are Xuan and Tang-sama?"

The medical officer saw that it was Butong who hurriedly put down the things in his hand and saluted, "I've seen Mr. Xiao." ”

Bu Tong waved his hand, "The doctor doesn't have to be polite. ”

Only then did the medical officer raise his head, "Although Lord Tang's wound did not hurt the meridians, the wound surface is very large, and it has not been properly treated for a long time, some places have ulcerated and inflamed, and the carrion needs to be removed and re-medicated, I am afraid that I will have to suffer some hardships." ”

Bu Yiyang looked at the medical officer, "My lord's words are so strange, the manly man can still be afraid of pain, so hurry up and prepare." ”

The medical officer hurriedly agreed, "Yes, Master Bu, Lord Tang still has a fever, I will write another decoction for people to fry." ”

Worried that the people in the house would be sluggish, Bu Tong turned around and told Chun Tao behind him, "Chun Tao, you went to follow the medical officer to get the prescription to decoction of medicine." ”

Chun Tao followed the medical officer.

Bai Shaoyao looked at the door and sighed softly, "Master Tang is really a bearable person, he has been injured so badly, and he has survived until now. ”

Bu Yiyang unhappily found a place to sit down, "What's this?" The good sons and daughters on the battlefield are so heroic, how can they be injured and cry out in pain like a woman. ”

Bai Peony smiled and glared at him, Bu Tong didn't want to pull outside, so he lifted his skirt and walked inside.

"I'll go see Xuanlin."

There were few people in the house, only Chang'an and Shi Qing were cleaning up on the side, and when they saw Butong coming in, Chang'an showed a trace of helplessness, "Shi Qing, you go and take care of the Fourth Highness, it's enough for me here." ”

Shi Qing looked at Bu Tong's anxious appearance, "Mr. Xiao don't have to worry too much, Lord Tang will definitely be fine if he is in good health, by the way, Chang'an, the medicinal materials that Master Fang Cai wants to prepare still need to trouble you to go to the Fushang Medicine Room to find them." ”

The two went out together, Bu Tong looked at the appearance of the two of them "each with a ghost", and said in his heart, "It's not necessary", if they both know that they are the same as Tang Xuanlin, but they don't know that the other party also knows, so they cover up for themselves in every possible way, which is really interesting.

Bu Tong shook his head and approached the bed, Tang Xuanlin's clothes were uncovered, and the bandages were removed, revealing a terrifying and hideous wound, faintly bleeding, the skin on his chest was very delicate, revealing a healthy warm white, but he always felt that this person was sacred and could not be desecrated, and he really shouldn't be stained with blood.

"Kiri'er."

Butong sat on the edge of the bed, almost daring to look at the wound, "Does it hurt?" ”

Tang Xuanlin smiled slightly, as if the injured person was not him,

"It's okay, it's all skin trauma, but taking the opportunity to live next door to Tong'er is also a blessing in disguise."

At this time, he was still in the mood to joke, and Bu Tong looked at him with tears and laughter.

"Don't be joking, wait for the medical officer to come and remove the carrion for you, I'm afraid it will hurt a lot."

Tang Xuanlin didn't care, only looked at Butong with a smile in his eyes,

"It's fine."

Bu Tong regretted that he should study the ancient recipe of Ma Boiling San, so that the current situation would just be used.

Peeling off his own flesh and blood, how painful it was, Bu Tong reached out and touched the wound in the air, "How can you say it so easily, is it worth it to suffer such a big crime for me?" ”

Tang Xuanlin's smile was a little deeper, and he replied in a deep voice without hesitation, "It's worth it." ”

Looking at Butong's almost tearful appearance, Tang Xuanlin rarely joked,

"Tong'er, I'm disheveled now, what's the point of you still staring at me like this?"

Bu Tong glanced at him angrily, and then pressed his chest seriously, "Don't worry, I won't look at you in vain, this palace will be responsible for you." ”

The expression on Tang Xuanlin's face instantly became very witty, and he spoke in disbelief,

"Tong'er, are you teasing me?"

Bu Tong covered his mouth, looked at Tang Xuanlin and smiled.

The medical officers came in with the medicine box, and looked at Bu Tong beside him with some embarrassment,

"Little sir, you better go out, the scene waiting for is too bloody, your daughter's family is really ...... to watch"

Butong got up and stood aside,

"I've seen more tragic situations in Dongyi City, so it's okay, I'll just stand by the side, and I won't delay the medical officers."

Tang Xuanlin suddenly spoke,

"Tong'er, go, you go to find the Fourth Highness, tell Your Highness that I am afraid that I will not be able to go out to handle the case in the past two days, and ask him to pay more attention to the situation."

Tang Xuanlin actually wanted to leave by himself, Bu Tong paused, thinking that Tang Xuanlin was afraid that he would be seen by himself because he was worried about his gaffe?

Nodding and whispering, "In this case, I will go to the front hall first, Master Tang will take medicine to recuperate, and I will come back immediately." ”

Since he had the intention to avoid it, why did he insist, Bu Tong withdrew and sat down on the steps at the door, and told his family to pass the word.

The last heavy snow had not yet melted, and the stone steps were cold and biting, and after a while, Bu Tong listened to Tang Xuanlin's unbearable snort, and then realized that Tang Xuanlin did not let himself out to preserve his image.

Guilt, the kind of overwhelming sadness swept through the whole body, Bu Tong only felt guilty, guilty of why he was so tired in this life; Guilty Tang Xuanlin deliberately supported himself in order not to burden himself, but mistakenly thought that he just wanted to save face.

Tang Xuanlin is a careful and proud person.

Bai Peony stood in front of Bu Tong, stopped talking several times, but still didn't say anything, sighed softly, pulled his breath and scolded Bu Yiyang, who was "really useless", and left.

The courtyard was so quiet, no one laughed, no one spoke loudly, only the family members and medical officers who came in and out, brought out basins of blood and water, and kept changing for new ones.

Until, the suppressed muffled humming in the house stopped, and Bu Tong's heart was also let go, but people were still going in and out, Bu Tong panicked, staggered up and pulled a family member,

"How's it going inside? Why is it silent? What are the doctors doing? ”

The person on the other side immediately comforted Bu Tong, "Miss rest assured, Lord Tang's injury is close to his left shoulder, and the laceration left by the arrow is very long, so it will take more time to deal with it, Lord Tang fainted in pain, and he can finish bandaging it before he wakes up." ”

Butong stumbled at his feet, waved his hand to send away the person who wanted to help him,

"Got it, you can go and get busy."

A lot of deep wounds can make a man faint, Bu Tong stood there, his mind was full of holes, and he suddenly realized an important problem, he seemed to be grateful and trusted not only for Tang Xuanlin in the previous life, maybe another deeper feeling quietly sprouted, and he didn't realize it.

"Miss, the medicine is ready." Chun Tao walked over quickly, thin beads of sweat on her forehead.

Bu Tong took it, only to feel that this bowl of medicine weighed a thousand catties.

The medical officers rushed out and came towards Butong, "Mr. Xiao, don't worry, with this treatment, Master Tang's wound will be able to scab over in a day or two, and it will heal soon." ”

Bu Tong breathed a sigh of relief, "Is he okay?" ”

The medical officers nodded, and sighed and admired, "Lord Tang is a strong man, we have been practicing medicine for many years, and we have never encountered such tenacity, the adults have woken up at this time, and I am afraid that I will suffer the first night, but compared to the process of dealing with the wound just now, it is nothing to adults, so we will prescribe medicine, and boil it for Lord Tang three times a day." ”

Chun Tao hurriedly made a "please" action, "Medical officer, please." ”

Bu Tong went to the house with the medicine bowl, Tang Xuanlin was dressed in a single clothes, but he was already wet with sweat, and the skin on the inside was looming, Bu Tong looked at his sweaty appearance, and took out a handkerchief to wipe him off one by one.

"How long do you want to pretend to sleep?"

Tang Xuanlin slowly opened a pair of smiling eyes, not as bright as Fang Cai because of a low-grade fever, but now his eyes are tired and bloodshot, but he is still smiling,

"It turns out that Tong'er can see it."

Butong pretended not to know anything, picked up the medicine bowl and gently stirred the heat dissipation,

"The doctors said that your wound will scab over in a day or two, but you have to take your medicine on time."

Tang Xuanlin smiled slightly, looking at the spoon stretched out to his mouth, still looking relaxed, "Sure enough, it's a blessing in disguise." ”

……
