"Fool fool, you are the real fool." After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she raised her head and bit Gu Xuebin's chin, and then said, "Remember what you said today, and remember it any day in the future, don't let me worry." ”

"I know, Jinyao, don't worry, this is the last time." After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he hugged Su Jinyao tightly with one hand and kissed her on the forehead.

Su Jinyao stretched out her hand to take the bowl in his hand and fed Gu Xuebin one bite at a time again. After watching him eat the whole bowl of porridge, he said, "You can continue to sleep, and resting more now will be good for your (shēn) body to recover." I went out to teach Princess Moma and a couple of witch doctors. Will come back at noon to have dinner with you. ”

"Jinyao, I'm actually fine, really." Gu Xuebin tightened Su Jinyao's sleeves, not wanting her to leave, just like a sick child (jiāo).

Su Jinyao touched his forehead and said, "Although I don't have a fever now, the cold poison still has caused some damage to your (shēn) body. If you don't want to be weak and out of breath when you get old, and you have to walk with crutches, just give me a rest. ”

"Yes. Make sure to listen to your daughter-in-law. Only listen to your daughter-in-law. Gu Xuebin immediately put on a good attitude and obeyed Su Jinyao's words.

Is this disguise?

When Su Jinyao left the stone house, Gu Xuebin was already asleep. Su Jinyao still locked the door, because she was worried that someone would come in and make Gu Xuebin sleep.

However, the window was not inserted, and Su Jinyao was not worried about Gu Xuebin going to the toilet.

When she found Moma, as soon as she saw Su Jinyao, she was full of praise for the side dishes she cooked, and shouted that she wanted to learn from Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Let's go, let's go to the witch doctor's medical hall today to study together." There are more medicinal herbs there than here, and I'm going to look at the herbs commonly used by witch doctors and make a classification plan. ”

In the morning, Mo Ma said that King Qingfan had published the proclamation, so Su Jinyao had to hurry up and teach them a lesson.

Regarding the previous habits of the witch doctor and some unacceptable prescriptions, Su Jinyao held a way that did not resist or reject, but also did not agree.

First of all, Su Jinyao asked the witch doctor to ensure that their prescription would not use the pharmacology that Su Jinyao taught them.

It's not that they are not allowed to combine witchcraft with traditional Chinese medicine, but things like cow dung and horse urine...... Su Jinyao really couldn't accept it.

Of course, in addition to the scope of medical skills taught by Su Jinyao, the witch doctor also wanted to use his medical skills to treat patients, and she didn't care.

After all, the witch doctor has been able to develop until now, and it also has its own laws and functions. Even if it is to protect intangible cultural heritage, they (ài) can toss at will, let alone Su Jinyao's teaching.

When I came to the Witch Doctor's Hall, there were already people in front of the clinic to see a doctor. And the notice sent by King Qingfan was posted at the door of the witch doctor's house.

According to Moma, the same notice was also issued outside the palace. In addition, several notices were sent to the Qingfan realm in several other mountains.

However, it is located in the middle of nowhere, and it is estimated that there are not many literate people, so it is not known whether anyone will be able to come from other places at that time.

Su Jinyao actually doesn't care much about how many patients with incurable diseases there are. If the witch doctors can cope with it, it proves that they have studied hard.

If they can't be cured, Su Jinyao will come forward again, just to gain some word of mouth. So no matter what, at least Su Jinyao's name is started.

And Su Jinyao also said that today's purpose is to comprehensively sort out and supplement the medicinal materials of the Witch Doctor Pavilion.

For example, some herbs are commonly used, and there are many in the surrounding mountains, so let these witch doctors try to use commonly used herbs.

Some of the more precious herbs are put away for other purposes. In this way, it can greatly save costs and make the people of Qingfan really benefit.

These witch doctors also understood what Su Jinyao meant, so she came here to make suggestions, and the witch doctors led Su Jinyao to the pharmacy and showed her those herbs.

After a period of study, these witch doctors also have a more comprehensive understanding of herbal medicine, so with a little guidance from Su Jinyao, they will know what to do.

It took almost half a day for Su Jinyao and these witch doctors to sort out the medicinal materials.

Su Jinyao looked at the time and hurriedly said, "Moma, I'm hungry, I want to go back to eat." ”

"Huh? Go back to eat? "Moma, a snack guy, is a little incomprehensible, why is Su Jinyao, a person who usually doesn't care much about eating, suddenly in a hurry to eat?

Su Jinyao was thinking about Gu Xuebin in her heart. When she left, she said that she would come back to have lunch with him, but in the afternoon, I don't know if Gu Xuebin was so hungry that he couldn't stand it and went to find something to eat, or was he still hungry and waiting for her?

Rushing back in a hurry, Su Jinyao also deliberately broke away from Moma and didn't let her follow her.

But when she opened the door, Su Jinyao found that Gu Xuebin had disappeared again. This small stone house has no tào room, and when you enter the house, it is clear that it is empty.

The chuáng shop has been cleaned up, and the chuáng is very flat, not at all like the people who have slept before. Where did Gu Xuebin go again?

For a while, Su Jinyao's anger hit up again, and she really couldn't figure out why this kid always didn't cherish his own body.

But when I turned (shēn), a Qingfan guard stood at the door, looking inside, as if there was something (qíng), and as if he was curious.

Su Jinyao waved her hand and said, "Go away, there is no need to be vigilant here." ”

"Yes." The Qingfan guard agreed, and turned (shēn) to retreat.

"Wait." Su Jinyao stopped him again after hearing the other party's answer, and then hurriedly chased him out, grabbed his sleeve, and pulled him into the house.

The Qingfan soldier hurriedly said nervously: "Girl, girl, what are you doing here?" The villain is nineteen years old and already married. My daughter-in-law is a vinegar jar, she ......"

"She asked you what was going on with the beard and mask on your face." Su Jinyao dragged the "Qingfan guard" into the room, threw him on the chair, looked at him with his arms crossed, and said, "Don't you know that not being able to speak Sanskrit is the biggest flaw?" ”

"Huh? You can see it. Gu Xuebin smiled, rubbed his face twice, and peeled off a dough-like thing. There's two mustaches stuck to it.

Su Jinyao glanced at him, then took the "dough" from his hand and shook it, and there was a bullet (xìng). He asked, "Where did you get this thing?" What is it made of? ”

"A mask of human skin. You haven't seen it? Gu Xuebin said triumphantly: "The disguise technique of the legend of the rivers and lakes was easily learned by me. ”

"Cut, it's just a piece of cold powder skin." Su Jinyao glared at him and said, "Come on, how did this thing work." ”

"You said it was a cool powder, and you asked me?" Gu Xuebin still wanted to drag it, but when he saw Su Jinyao's cold eyes, he hurriedly said truthfully: "It's just that the glutinous rice flour is scalded and made into a thin layer." However, fish gelatin is added to it, and corn starch is smeared, which is similar to the color of the face and then flattened and pasted. ”

"It's as simple as that?" Su Jinyao shook the skin in her hand again and asked him, "It's not really human skin, right?" ”

"How so? You're willing to post it, but I'm not. Besides, the real human skin, pig skin, and dog skin are hard when peeled off, and even if they are tanned, they can no longer be attached to the real skin, how easy to look at. ”

After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he took the dough from Su Jinyao's hand and said, "But my skills are not yet at home, so I can only change my original appearance, and I can't imitate another person." ”

Indeed, when Su Jinyao saw Gu Xuebin just now, she just felt that her eyes were raw, so she didn't go to her heart.

But thinking about it carefully, Gu Xuebin's appearance just now was also somewhat similar to his original appearance. The face shape and facial features have not changed much, but the color of the skin is darker, and the complexion appears darker; If you make your cheeks thicker and your eyes longer, you will look like a guy with a round face and slender eyes.

To whom is the throne going to whom?

If Su Jinyao was asked to recognize it again, she would definitely be able to recognize that the person just now was Gu Xuebin's. Therefore, this kind of disguise technique is not very easy to use in front of familiar people.

However, for fun, if Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin both put on this kind of skin and temporarily turn into two other people to go around the street, as long as they don't speak, no one should find out that they are not Qingfan.

Su Jinyao asked Gu Xuebin again: "What are you doing with this thing?" Isn't it a little naïve? ”

"I'm here to be by my daughter-in-law (shēn)." Gu Xuebin took the piece of dough and tried it on his face, but found that the tremors who were trembling by Su Jinyao were already a little deformed, and they couldn't stick it back. He said: "It's over, it took almost an hour to make it, and it can't be used if you take it off once." ”

Su Jinyao laughed and said, "Do you really plan to spend another month here with me?" By the way, if you go back and run out again this time, what about the matter of the throne (qíng)? ”

Su Jinyao clearly remembered that Gu Xuebin said that the emperor asked him to return victorious this time, so he passed the throne to him.

As a result, Gu Xuebin ran out recklessly, what should he do with the throne?

Although the second prince didn't fight with him now, Su Jinyao thought of what the second prince said, and remembered that there was still a big hand in the palace that was secretly (cāo) doing everything, and felt that Gu Xuebin was really too hasty to run out this time.

When Gu Xuebin heard Su Jinyao ask about the throne (qíng), he hooked the corners of his mouth and said indifferently: "How can I have the beauty of the country alone?" I always feel that God is actually fair, let me get the best woman in the world, and I shouldn't have too greedy thoughts. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Su Jinyao suddenly felt that something was wrong, pulled him on the shoulder, pulled him to look at her, and asked, "Did you encounter something (qíng) before you ran out?" ”

Then, Su Jinyao thought of one more thing, looked around and asked, "What about seventeen?" He (shēn) is the shadow of the prince's bodyguard, why is there no one? ”

"Seventeen has been transferred back to the Shadow Guard Pavilion. Because he left his post without permission, he was to be punished. Gu Xuebin said easily, "Even if he wants to follow me, I can't run all the way with thousands of rivers and mountains and drag his little tail." I secretly came to see my daughter-in-law, what happened to him. ”

"No, Che, what the hell happened? You said to me. The more Gu Xuebin was like this, the more Su Jinyao felt that the situation had changed, and asked, "You are not a coward who retreats from everything, right?" ”

"Of course I'm not, it's just that I went back a little early and found something (qíng)." After speaking, Gu Xuebin pulled Su Jinyao to sit down on the side of (shēn) and said, "I originally thought that my father asked me to lead the troops to the battle, so that I could establish meritorious deeds, so that I could naturally pass on the throne to me. ”

As soon as Su Jinyao heard this, she knew that the situation must not be simple, so she also looked at Gu Xuebin seriously and listened to him finish speaking.

Gu Xuebin said: "But after I went back, I learned that the emperor asked my uncle to lead the troops to Mobei, and asked me to lead the troops to the south, which was basically planned." The emperor intends to abdicate, but his throne is not intended to be passed on to me. ”

"You are the crown prince today, who will the throne not give you?" Su Jinyao's mouth was happy and anxious, and she blurted out.

Gu Xuebin was stunned for a moment, looked at Su Jinyao and said, "Jinyao, do you really care about my throne?" ”

"It's not." Su Jinyao hurriedly shook her head and said, "I just think this thing (qíng) is strange." Obviously, you and the second prince are fighting, but now that the second prince is not fighting, you have no chance. And what is this for? ”

"Don't forget, where did your father's throne come from?" Gu Xuebin didn't wait for Su Jinyao to answer, and continued to himself: "Twenty years ago, my father was not the crown prince. At that time, the crown prince's name was Cang Lanshuo, who was Helian Ruo's husband and Helian Tianqi's father. ”

"What do you mean ......" Su Jinyao finally understood, and followed Gu Xuebin's meaning and said: "You mean, Canglan Shuo was originally the crown prince, and now he wants to take back the throne?" ”

Gu Xuebin shook his head and said: "No, he has enough (ài) wife, and he has no intention of taking the throne at all." To inherit the throne, it may be...... Cangtian Qi. ”

Cangtianqi? Su Jinyao didn't turn a corner for a while, and then suddenly came back to her senses and said, "Helian Tianqi? ”

Gu Xuebin nodded and said, "Yes, his surname is Helian's mother's surname." But he is indeed the first prince of the Cang royal family. His father was also the crown prince at the time, and he was a year older than me. ”

The messy relationship made Su Jinyao a little big. After calming down for a while, Su Jinyao asked: "In other words, your father and emperor split you up and let you lead the troops to Pingqingfan War, in fact, he wanted you to leave the capital and give the throne to Helian Tianqi?" ”

Su Jinyao still thinks that calling it "Helian Tianqi" is a bit more pleasant than calling it "Cangtian Qi".

Gu Xuebin nodded and said, "When I went back, I heard the news like this. And this matter (qíng) is said to be the queen mother's opinion. ”

Su Jinyao's mind moved again, and she felt that she had caught a little eyebrow.

Then, Su Jinyao told Gu Xuebin what she had heard from the second prince about the fact that the Yugui people were not really behind the scenes, and that the Fang family actually died from a false holy decree.

Gu Xuebin's brows furrowed, and he said, "I also heard the secret report and learned that Aunt Ma has a piece of evidence in her hand. Could it be that it was the false holy decree that was passed on to the Fang family back then? ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "It's not that this possibility is impossible. Moreover, Aunt Ma is with the Empress Dowager (shēn), if she has the opportunity to obtain this holy decree, does it mean that the Empress Dowager is actually ......?"

Speaking of which, Su Jinyao's words could not continue.

She thought of the face of the Queen Mother and the dean's mother, the smile of the dean's mother, and the grace (qíng) who raised her.

However, Su Jinyao's mind turned back and forth, suppressing the mind of judging a person only by appearance, and she felt that the queen mother and the dean's mother were really not the same person.

The Queen Mother is also kind, but there is too much meaning in her smile.

The queen mother and the nobles were tense, but the emperor, as a son and husband, never showed up, although he was caught in the middle.

Everything seemed so wrong, but Su Jinyao had never really thought about the cause and effect before.

"Jinyao, what are you suspicious?" Gu Xuebin found Su Jinyao in a daze and gently held Su Jinyao's hand.

Su Jinyao came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "I just think that knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts." ”

Gu Xuebin shook his head and said, "This is the case with the palace dispute. What's more, Cang Tianqi is the real grandson of the emperor's grandmother, and she is more partial to her grandson, so there is nothing wrong with it. ”

Prepare to retreat to the countryside

Su Jinyao heard Gu Xuebin say that Helian Tianqi was the grandson of the Queen Mother, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and some words choked in her throat, and she didn't say it for a long time.

She suddenly wanted to ask, is this emperor too green today? Why is the second prince not his child, and is Gu Xuebin not either?

Gu Xuebin was a little puzzled at first when he saw Su Jinyao's strange appearance (qíng), but after thinking about it, he understood her thoughts, flicked it on her head, and asked, "Jinyao, what are you thinking?" I mean, the father is not the biological son of the Queen Mother. Although the father is the eldest son of the imperial family, he is not the queen mother's descendant, but the free prince is the queen mother's own son and the crown prince of the East Palace. But shortly after his father was born, his mother passed away, and in fact, his father was also raised by the queen mother. ”

In fact, the position of the prince in the imperial family is quite exquisite, and only the son born to the queen of the main palace is the natural crown prince.

But if the queen has never had an heir, or only gave birth to a princess, then the eldest son of the royal family will inherit the crown prince. But the eldest son of the royal family must be raised by the queen, who recognizes the queen as his mother.

This is also why some concubines did not sit on the throne of the queen during their lifetime, but if the son she gave birth to became the emperor, then she would be posthumously crowned queen after her death.

In this way, the previous crown prince only (ài) beauty, not (ài) the country, gave up the throne to the current emperor.

But the queen mother was not reconciled, she naturally favored her son. Therefore, she wants to take back the throne, causing her to have a grandson, although Helian Tianqi has his mother's surname, he is indeed the eldest son of the royal family.
