Chapter 56: Seeking Medicine
Although Imperial Physician Li is inferior to Ye Liufeng's ghost hand divine doctor, he is also one of the best figures in the Imperial Hospital, and after taking care of Lu Xuan these days, he must have already been aware of her identity.
However, it seems that Imperial Physician Li is indeed a credible person, otherwise he would not have rotted in his belly, and he never even mentioned it to Gu Huanli.
Now hearing Gu Huanli say this, Imperial Physician Li couldn't help but be surprised: "It turns out that His Royal Highness has long known about ......"
Gu Huanli nodded: "This matter still has to bother Imperial Doctor Li to protect this king." β
Imperial Physician Li promised that he was just a doctor, and he had never participated in officialdom battles, and if he was not careful, he would end up with a lot of beheadings, and he would rather not know about it.
"Your Highness, rest assured, Weichen will personally take care of Lu Shulingshi, and beyond that, he will never say much."
Gu Huanli relieved himself at this time, and then took someone to the Medicine King Valley.
At the same time, the person in the East Palace was looking at the secret letter sent back by Jiangnan with joy.
"It seems that this imperial uncle in this palace is really lucky, and he did not hesitate to offer heavy rewards and seek medical treatment everywhere, Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang, I didn't expect you to have today."
Gu Ningbei was proud, and the news that made him even more happy came again.
"Your Highness, there is news from Jiangnan, His Royal Highness the Fierce King has gone to the Medicine King Valley to ask for medicine."
"What?" Gu Ningbei was startled at first, when did he, the imperial uncle, beg others? It's always been others begging for mercy under him.
But after thinking about it, Gu Ning's sad and surprised face was filled with joy again: "Isn't it really terminally ill and desperate?" Hahahaha......"
After a burst of ecstasy, Gu Ningbei murmured to himself again: "Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang, this palace really wants to see you begging others in a low voice, but it's a pity that ......"
The treacherous face instantly flashed with a gloomy color: "It's a pity that you may not be able to see the Medicine King." β
Hearing this, the attendant couldn't help but be surprised: "Your Highness means ......"
Gu Ningbei is determined that Gu Huanli is seriously ill, although he kills all sides on weekdays and no one can match him, but now he is just a sick cat who has no power to restrain the chicken, where can he Gu Ningbei be afraid?
Thinking about it like this, Gu Ningbei's eyes immediately showed a fierce light, and the knife slid towards his neck, making a murderous gesture, and the attendant instantly understood.
Two days later, Gu Huanli left Jiangnan, and rushed all the way towards the Medicine King Valley, and the people accompanying him were all cronies.
Seeing that it was getting late, he had been on the road day and night for the past two days, and he had been worried about Lu Xuan and the epidemic in Jiangnan for the past few days, Qin Wei was really worried about Gu Huanli's body, so he stepped forward to dissuade him.
"Your Highness, you haven't closed your eyes for a few days, I'm afraid your body will not be able to bear it if you continue like this."
Gu Huanli naturally knew that Qin Xiao was motivated by good intentions, but time waits for no one, how long can Lu Xuan's side hold out, and how dare he slack off?
It was clearly an anxious word, but when it came to his mouth, it was as cold as ice: "This king's body is in this king's heart, and you don't need to remind him." β
His Royal Highness is such a character, Qin Wei didn't know it on the first day, and when he saw that he couldn't be dissuaded, he could only retreat in silence.
Suddenly, there was a strange sound in the grass, for ordinary people, it was just wind and grass, but Gu Huanli had expected it and would definitely not be careless.
Qin Wei has practiced martial arts for many years and has excellent ear power, so he naturally noticed it, and immediately slowed down his pace and waited with bated breath.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a group of black-clothed people to rush out from all over the grass, although they were covered with black faces, their eyes were full of fierce light, and it seemed that they had been premeditated.
It's just that the wishful thinking of the premeditated person is still wrong in the end, just with this rat generation, even Qin Wei is still invincible, where will he be Gu Huanli's opponent?
Gu Huanli just blindly dodged, and he was joking, and before he could draw his sword, he was tied up by Qin Xiao's killing, which was not very fun.
"Say, Who sent you?" Qin Wei pointed at the only two tied up alive with his sword, and asked sternly.
Unexpectedly, the two looked at each other, and then they both bit their tongues and committed suicide.
Qin Wei was taken aback for a moment, and turned his head to look at Gu Huanli: "Your Highness, the person who came turned out to be a dead man." β
Gu Huanli nodded: "It's okay to be dead, so that the news of this king's pretending to be sick will not leak." β
This is not bad, but it's a pity that there is no proof of death, and the mastermind behind the scenes can't be found.
Qin Xiaozheng secretly regretted himself, but Gu Huanli saw through his thoughts at a glance: "Don't feel pity, two useless people are just dead, and the king can guess who did it." β
Yes, it is not difficult to guess this matter, except for these few accompanying cronies on Gu Huanli's trip, only those imperial doctors who went south from Shengjing knew.
You don't have to think about it to know that it must be the person who tracked down before who leaked the news, and as for who it leaked to, naturally there is no need to say more.
Speaking of which, I was indeed a little sleepy after galloping all the way before, but this incident gave everyone a boost to their spirits, and I don't know if it should be regarded as someone's credit.
However, with this "merit", he dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and Gu Huanli, who had never been able to bear a loss, wanted to give him some color.
After smiling contemptuously like this, Gu Huanli waved his hand at everyone: "Rest in place for half an hour." β
After that, he also jumped off the horse, wrote a letter and handed it to an attendant: "You, return to Jiangnan and hand over the letter to Lin Wei." β
The retinue immediately turned back, and the rest of the group continued on their way.
A few days later, Lin Wei received this letter, and at a glance, he knew Gu Huanli's intentions, and immediately began to prepare a big gift for His Royal Highness the Prince.
At that time, Gu Ningbei was waiting for the dead man in the East Palace to bring back the news of Gu Huanli's death, but what he received was a bright red sandalwood box.
Gu Ningbei was still a big gift, and he couldn't wait to open the wooden box with his own hands, and then, the scene in front of him became his nightmare for several days.
I saw a bloody human head suddenly floating in front of him, his eyes were like lamps, and his face was full of horror, which was exactly the same as the look on Gu Ningbei's face at this moment.
The prince grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, and he was favored, where had he ever seen such a bloody scene? He was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, trembling, and had no princely manner.
The wooden box in his hand was also thrown ten miles away, but the head of the person rolled a few steps towards Gu Ningbei's side.
"Take it down, take it down for this palace!" Gu Ningbei covered his eyes and scolded the attendant in a trembling voice.
Why are the attendants themselves not afraid? But if you don't follow the order, you're afraid that the next moment you will be in the wooden box.
Thinking of this, the attendant could only walk to the sandalwood box first, but found the envelope falling on the ground, and then walked up to Gu Ningbei tremblingly: "Your Highness, there is another letter here." β
Although Gu Ningbei trembled with fright at this time, he was even more annoyed by who did it, and then plucked up the courage to reach out and take the letter.
Unexpectedly, there were only a few lines in my heart-
"The secret agent of the East Palace greeted my lord with the head of the master, and the blood stained the sandalwood, and the king smiled."
At this point, Gu Ningbei reacted, and the owner of Fang Cai's head was the meticulous work he had placed next to Gu Huanli, and he suddenly became even more creepy.
"He knew, impossible, how could he know? No, it must be that Hongu is wrong. β
While comforting himself like this, he stared at the two lines of handwriting and couldn't take his eyes off it.
It wasn't until he digested it a little and looked at the last sentence of the letter, "Blood-stained sandalwood, Wangjun smiled", that Gu Ningbei seemed to have discovered something terrible.
The sandalwood box he picked up just now was actually stained with human blood? No wonder it's so cherry red.
At this moment, Gu Ningbei seemed to feel that his whole body was covered with bloodβsuch as the hand that had touched the human blood box, and the eyes that he had reached out to cover.
For a while, the anger and fear in Gu Ningbei's heart were intertwined, and the remaining reason told him that if he didn't take advantage of the situation to get rid of Gu Huanli this time, when he returned from seeking medical treatment, he would be the one who died.
After all, the whole world dares to make a stumbling block for His Royal Highness the Fierce King, and only Gu Ningbei is left.
In the next two days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a high fever and blood splashed in his dreams, and there were even rumors in the palace that he was haunted by powerful ghosts, which was really not magnificent.
Such a result was within Gu Huanli's expectations, after all, from the time Gu Ningbei hit his wishful thinking on him, the living king of Hades, he should be prepared to see the hell.
It's just that at this moment, there are more important things waiting for Gu Huanli to worry about, and he doesn't have time to deal with his stupid imperial nephew.
After running around day and night, Gu Huanli and his party finally arrived at the Medicine King Valley, but what they were waiting for was still the empty saying that the people of the Medicine King Valley were not allowed to leave the valley without permission.
It's just that Gu Huanli had already made this preparation when he came this time, so he was not angry, but just asked:
"Since there is an explicit prohibition in the valley, I will definitely not be embarrassed in the lower valley, but I don't know if I can allow the medicine king to meet in the lower valley?"
"This ......" The little guy guarding the valley was embarrassed for a while: "In that case, please ask the son to wait for a while, and I will go and ask for instructions." β
Gu Huanli nodded, acting humbly and politely, judging the two of them from his usual manners.
In the Valley of the Medicine King, hearing that His Royal Highness the Fierce King personally came to ask for medicine for others, and also called himself "under the bottom", the Medicine King Xizhi suddenly felt novel, and immediately nodded in agreement.
The little guy came out to spread the word, but only Gu Huanli was allowed to bring one person into the valley, so that Qin Wei could only accompany him, and the rest of the people waited at the foot of the mountain.
The two were taken all the way to the Medicine King Palace, although Xi Zhi lived in seclusion, he had also heard a little about mortal things, and recognized Gu Huanli at a glance.
"Presumably this is the famous Fierce King, His Royal Highness." A beautiful voice came from behind the curtain.
Gu Huanli couldn't help but be surprised, the person in front of him was clearly a young woman.
"In the next place, dare to ask the girl what ......" Gu Huanli asked tentatively, polite in his demeanor.
After a while, I saw the man walking towards this side, and said with a quip: "I have heard that His Royal Highness the Fierce King is a fierce person, but when I see it today, he is also a humble son." β
Without waiting for Gu Huanli to reply, the man had already reported to the court: "I am the seventeenth generation of the valley master of the Lishan Shanxi clan, that is, the medicine king Xizhi that His Highness is looking for, I don't know who His Highness is asking for medicine?" β
