749 Redemption

Imperial Physician Zhao walked to the couch in three steps and two steps, "The old man will give Lord Shoufu a pulse first." ”

Duanmu Xian was lying motionless on the couch, his eyes were closed at the moment, his face and lips were slightly pale, and his body was covered with a thin quilt.

Imperial Physician Zhao sat down on a small pestle and gently rested his three fingers on Duanmuxian's wrist.

The others were silent, staring at Imperial Physician Zhao without blinking, and there was a dead silence around them.

After a while, Imperial Physician Zhao withdrew his hand, stood up, and said, "Duanmu Prince, eldest girl, fourth girl, the old lady is so angry that she will faint after causing a small stroke." Fortunately, it is not serious, as long as you take care of it for half a month, pay attention to diet and rest, you should be able to recover. The old man first gave Duanmu a needle. ”

"It's too tiring." Duanmu Heng shook his hands solemnly.

Imperial Physician Zhao summoned the medicine boy over and began to administer needles to Duanmu Xian.

What Imperial Physician Zhao said was not much different from what Dr. Wang said before, Duanmu Heng, Duanmu Fei and Duanmu Jun did not fall to the ground until this moment.

Duanmu Heng made a gesture to the sisters, and the three of them walked to the corner, Duanmu Heng lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know why grandfather suddenly fainted?" ”

Duanmujun and Duanmufei glanced at each other, and the sisters both shook their heads and looked in the direction of the door curtain. You Junji still has to be asked about this matter.

At this time, the big girl cried out excitedly: "Old lady...... The old lady seems to be awake. She restrained herself from suppressing her slightly trembling voice, for fear of startling Duanmu Xian.

Duanmuxian and the three of them hurriedly surrounded the bed, and sure enough, Duanmuxian's eyes trembled slightly, the eyeballs under the curtains seemed to be rolling, the eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, but there was still chaos under his eyes, and he didn't seem to know where he was.

Duanmu Xian wanted to raise his hand, but Imperial Physician Zhao hurriedly pressed his wrist and said, "Lord Duanmu, don't move, the lower officials are doing needles for you." ”

Duanmu Xian blinked, as if he was remembering something, and gradually, his eyes became clearer, and he said in a low voice: "I...... Fainted? His voice was hoarse and weak.

Duanmu Fei said: "Grandfather, I'll talk about other things later, you better rest for a while." ”

A small stroke can be big or small, and now it looks like Duanmuxian is sober and articulate, which is obviously a good sign, and he responded to the words of Imperial Doctor Zhao and Doctor Wang.

Seeing a few small worries surrounding him, Duanmu Xian felt a warm current in his heart, nodded his head, and closed his eyes.

The maids in the house were all relieved.

Imperial Physician Zhao also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said to Duanmu Fei: "Lord Duanmu needs to recuperate, don't keep so many people here, so as not to lose air circulation." ”

Duanmu Heng hurriedly said: "I will stay with my grandfather to serve the sick." Fourth sister, you and your sister should go back first. ”

Duanmu Xian is a man, so naturally it is more appropriate for Duanmu Heng to take care of him, so the sisters did not insist and withdrew first.

Seeing Duanmu Jun and Duanmu Fei coming out of the east room, You Junji's eyes lit up in an instant, as if he had seen a savior, and now he finally didn't have to face Cen Yin alone.

You Junji couldn't wait to stand up and asked, "How is your grandfather?" ”

Duanmu Fei relayed what Imperial Physician Zhao said one by one.

Convinced that Duanmuxian was indeed fine, You Junji was finally relieved, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

At this time, Cen Yin spoke: "Master You, you have also worked hard, so let's go back early." ”

You Junji wanted to stay a little longer, but he didn't have the courage to go against Cen Yin's intentions, so he had to respond: "Then I'll leave first." He pondered how to come back tomorrow.

Duanmu Jun apologized for saying some polite words to You Junji that "snubbed" Yunyun, and then asked Mama Liu to help her send off guests.

You Junji left, the two maids in the room looked at You Junji's back, and exchanged a look again, their feelings seemed to be right, You Shangshu was really a little afraid of this Zeng Gongzi.

"About your grandfather......" Cen Yin said as he glanced at Duanmujun, who immediately realized and sent the maids in the house out to guard the door.

Next, Cen Yin roughly told the two sisters about what You Junji said.

Duanmujun and Duanmufei glanced at each other, and the sisters were so angry that their faces turned blue, and their slender bodies trembled slightly.

Duanmu Jun gritted his teeth and said, "How can there be such a person!" ”

She is not only talking about the people who are calculating the Duanmu family behind the scenes, but also referring to the third uncle Duanmu period.

She knew why her grandfather fainted in anger, the calculations of outsiders were nothing, and the backlash from her own son was even more hurtful.

"Stupid!"

Duanmujun couldn't help but say again, her face was still slightly pale, and the whole person had not fully recovered from Duanmuxian's fainting.

Just looking at her like this, Cen Yin felt as if his heart was being grabbed, and his eyes deepened.

He didn't like to look at her like that.

She should always smile and always be carefree......

Cen Yin looked at Duanmu Jun deeply, and said lightly: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me, it will be fine." ”

He just said such a sentence in a flat tone, if it was said by someone else, Duanmujun would only take it as a comfort, but Cen Yin said it, it was different.

Cen Yin said to hand it over to him, that is the meaning of "hand it over to him".

"Hmm." Duanmu Jun simply responded, her heart seemed to contain honey, sweet, the corners of her lips were even more upturned, and the smile from her heart was like the spring breeze blowing across the earth in March, making the room seem to light up by three points.

Duanmufei on the side looked at Duanmuxuan, who was smiling like a flower, and then looked at Cen Yin, always feeling as if he was a little redundant.

Cen Yin didn't pay attention to Duanmufei's eyes, his eyes looked intently at Duanmuxuan two steps away, his eyes softened again, and his heart lake rippled in circles.

He likes to see her smile, bright and fresh, sassy and straightforward, gentle and kind.

Once, when he was at the most desperate and gloomy time in his life, he saw her smile, and that was his salvation.

In the more than ten years since then, when he was about to lose his life, all he thought of was her smile, letting him know that even if he sank into the darkest quagmire, there was still the brightest sunshine in the world.

And he, at least can do something for her, can silently guard her......

He wished she could smile like this forever!

As if pulled by an inexplicable force, Cen Yin's body moved on its own, took a step closer to Duanmu, lifted his hand down, and touched her cheek, trying to catch the smile on the corner of her lips......

The warm and delicate touch of his skin under his fingers shook Cen Yin, and he suddenly came to his senses, only then did he realize what he had done, his fingers froze in mid-air, and his fingertips were almost a millimeter away from her.

Duanmu liked him to be close to him, smiling more happily, his lips curling in a pleasant arc.

With this smile, the skin of her cheek touched Cen Yin's fingertips again.

Also, the faint scent of flowers on her body penetrated the tip of his nose.

Cen was stunned and wanted to retreat, but his hand didn't seem to belong to him, so he didn't listen to the call at all, nostalgic for the touch that belonged to the sun.

She belongs to the sunshine, and he ......

He shouldn't have ......

Cen Yin's eyes darkened.

Duanmu Fei was dumbfounded when he looked at this scene, and said in his heart: Cen Gongzi is so bold!

She suddenly remembered the scene when Duanmu and Cen Yin stood under the willow tree and tied silk flowers during the Flower Festival, just like her and Mu Yan......

Thinking about the scene of the two of them planting flowers together, Duanmufei's heart suddenly lit up and he suddenly realized.

"Master Cen ." Duanmu Fei looked at Cen Yin seriously, and her scorching eyes made Cen Yin a little overwhelmed.

"When are you going to propose?" Duanmu asked.

She uttered something startling that startled the other two people in the room.

There was an eerie dead silence all around.

Cen Yin, who had finally recovered a little, froze again, and his thin lips opened slightly.

Cen Yin's narrow eyes were bright and dark, and he wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be pinched, and he couldn't make a sound.

He had never been so helpless or embarrassed in his life.

Cen Yin's mind was so confused that he couldn't think calmly at all, and in the end, there was only one thought left in his heart: this little girl is just like Ah Yan, no wonder Ah Yan treats her as the root of his life!

For Mu Yan, Cen Yin could still pull his voice and let the stinky boy get away, but he couldn't say these words to the little girl Mu Fei above.

"......" Cen Yin cleared his throat and took a step back, "Nothing else, I'll go back first." ”

He didn't wait for Duanmufei and Duanmujun to react, he turned around directly, and ran away in a hurry.

People who don't know only feel that the young man's back is as tall as a pine, but in the eyes of Duanmujun and Duanmuxuan, there is a feeling of running away.

What's going on? Did you say something wrong? Duanmu Fei tilted his little face suspiciously, and looked at Duanmuxuan.

Duanmujun was still laughing, his eyes narrowed with laughter, and his whole body relaxed.

She thinks her sister is so cute!

"Zhen Zhen," Duanmu raised his hand and rubbed the top of Duanmu Fei's soft hair, his smile was so gentle that it was about to overflow, "You say, why don't I go and propose?" ”

Duanmufei's eyes widened slightly, and her pupils lit up. That expression seemed to say, what a good idea!

Sister Mo Ruo, Duanmu Jun understood Duanmu Fei's eyes, and she was even happier.

It's a pity......

Duanmujun's face was straight, and he vetoed: "Still can't ......"

"It's better not to irritate my grandfather too much now. The doctor said to recuperate, don't you say? ”

"......" Duanmufei couldn't help but look in the direction of the door curtain and nodded. My sister is right.

Now it's grandfather the greatest!

The door curtain was lifted again, and Imperial Physician Zhao came out of it, and he had already given Duanmu Xian a needle and a prescription.

The two sisters hurriedly greeted them, intending to ask Imperial Doctor Zhao more carefully, what should be paid attention to and taboos to avoid when Duanmu Xian was recuperating, and so on.

Outside the study, the previous riot had completely subsided, and the people were in order, what to do.

Cen Yin was sent out of Duanmu Mansion by Mama Liu, and he attracted a lot of scrutiny along the way, but Cen Yin exuded an aura of no one entering the house, and no one dared to talk to him, including Mama Liu.

Seeing people out of the corner gate, Mama Liu was relieved, she only felt that the difference between the temperament of the future eldest aunt and the future fourth aunt was too great, one was cold, the other was hot, and the new aunt would come together to celebrate the New Year's birthday or something, can these two people talk?

Cen Yin rode out of Duanmu's house, obviously holding the rough horse rope in his hand, but his palm seemed to be able to feel the warm and delicate touch of Fang Cai.

The nose also lingered with her own smell.

There is a figure entrenched in her heart, lingering......

He can't fool himself!

"Bang!"

There was a sound of the corner door closing from behind, Cen Yin was suddenly awakened, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the closed corner door, as if a bucket of cold water was poured on his head, and the whole person instantly calmed down.

Cen Yin grabbed the horse's belly and rode away, and the oncoming wind blew his half-bundled black hair, revealing a bit of coldness and recklessness.

Cen Yin's eyes were as cold as a blade.

Mu Youjing is actually dispensable, and keeping him was just to divert the attention of the courtiers, scholars, and the people.

After Mu Yan returned to Beijing, he had already put forward several reforms in a big way, including military salaries, taxes, favors, etc., although it also caused some turmoil in the court and doubts from the courtiers, but in general, the situation was still controllable.

Part of the reason is that Mu Youjing is tossing in front, which distracts the attention of some courtiers, making them uncertain about the direction, and it is inevitable that they will look forward and backward when they act.

If Mu Youjing's existence is missing, it is equivalent to pushing Mu Yan to the front and becoming the focus of attention.

Then, as Mu Yan is the next emperor, any reforms and changes he may make will cause a great backlash, and those officials, scholars, and even the common people will be able to attack him in a swarm.

Like now, no matter what reforms Mu Yan proposes, the people of Mu Youjing's party will inevitably oppose and denounce it, so that those officials will be entangled, if they echo Mu Youjing's party, wouldn't it be an expression of support for the three princes to ascend the throne? !

This is not quite right for those officials who just want to be pure ministers and who are still waiting to see the situation!

As the old saying goes, one blow, then decline, and three exhaustion.

As soon as these courtiers hesitated, they would miss the best opportunity, and the number of opponents of the New Deal would naturally be fewer, and the implementation of the New Deal would be much smoother.

It has only been more than two months since Mu Yan returned to Beijing, and the reform of military salaries and taxes has been progressing very smoothly......

Cen Yin's mind was racing, and he galloped to his heart's content, looking at the blue and transparent sky in front of him.

Over the years, Dasheng has been suffering from internal and external troubles and is in danger, and at this special moment, in order to be effective, he has always adopted an iron-fisted policy, saying nothing and not giving anyone a chance to oppose it.

However, in the future, after eliminating the enemy and quelling the civil strife, after this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains gradually stabilize, Mu Yan can no longer follow his old path, after all, to govern a country, you must have an open-mindedness and dare to accept advice, and you can't kill anyone who opposes it, that is a tyrant.

Originally, according to Cen Yin's plan, he planned to wait a little longer and let Mu Youjing be a guise for a while......

But she was not happy!

Cen Yin's eyes appeared in front of Duanmujun's slightly pale face, his heart tightened, and there was a glimmer of light in his long and narrow dark eyes, which was distressed and pity...... Finally it turned into an intimidating coldness.

The scorching sun is gradually setting in the west, and at this moment, Mu Yan, who is in Jinju, still doesn't know what happened in Beijing, and he doesn't know that Duanmu Fei is sullen about Duanmu Xian's affairs.

Feng Yan arrived in Jinju at noon the day before yesterday.

At that time, the three Dongchang fanzi sent by Cen Yin to follow Xiao Tian had already looked for a circle along the Yongjiang River next to the Wanqi Valley in the direction of the current, and they were still in a state of "no one in life, no corpse in death" for the time being.

However, it was not without its gains.

They found traces of blood, crawling and hiding in the lower reaches of the Yongjiang River, and since they found no corpses, it was good news, and it could be inferred that the man should still be alive, and he had alertly avoided the pursuit of the enemy, but in the same way, he also lost his trace of Dongchang Fanzi.

Before Mu Yan arrived, the three Dongchang Fanzi had already searched for several nearby villages and towns, but they still hadn't found Xiao Tian's whereabouts.

After Mu Yan met with the three Dongchang fans, according to the map of the area, he carefully analyzed the terrain, and then left aside the villages and towns that Dongchang had already checked, guessing that Xiao Tian might have gone to the area of Jianning Temple.

So, Mu Yan immediately took people to Jianning Temple.

Jianning Temple is located on the top of Daning Mountain and is the largest temple within a radius of 20 miles.

Thinking that Jianning Temple was a pure place for Buddhism, Mu Yan only took fifty elites up the mountain, and the rest of the people stayed in the vicinity of Daning County to camp.

Since he went to Jianning Temple, of course Mu Yan wanted to visit Princess Jian, who was cultivating in the temple.

Princess Jian is a widow and is keeping filial piety for her husband, so it is inconvenient to see a foreign man, but Mu Yan is Wuyang's cousin and a familiar junior, so she is not too rigid about those red tapes.

Since Mu Yan went to the south last year, Princess Jian, Wuyang and Jun Lingxi haven't seen him for nearly a year, and at this moment, of course, they all know Mu Yan's life experience, as well as Mu Yan's exploits in winning Huaizhou.

Now, goodbye Mu Yan, Princess Jian still has a feeling that things are different from people, as if she is in another world, and the current Mu Yan makes her feel strange.

Mu Yan is now the regent of the high-ranking king, and even more, he will ...... in the future

Princess Jian hesitated for a moment, not knowing what kind of attitude and attitude to use to treat Mu Yan.

Princess Jian was still hesitating, and Jun Lingxi couldn't wait to ask, "Ah Yan, is there any news of my eldest brother?" ”

Wuyang also looked at Mu Yan expectantly, his eyes were shining.

Of course, what Princess Jian remembers most in her heart is her son on the battlefield in the north, and she can't take care of the entanglement in her heart anymore at this moment.

"Everything is fine over there!"

Mu Yan smiled slightly, his smile melted his expression and temperament, as if the killing on the battlefield and the intrigue in the court had not left a trace on him.

He is still the freshly dressed and angry horse in the capital, and he is a reckless and reckless teenager.

"A few days ago, the good news that just came from the north side, if nothing else, Ah Ran will be able to return to Beijing in triumph a few years ago." Mu Yan said calmly.

This good news made the atmosphere in the room relaxed, and the faces of Princess Jane, Wuyang and Jun Lingxi were all filled with joyful smiles.

They also knew that there were good news in the north, the Northern Yan people were losing and retreating, and the battle situation was favorable to Dasheng, but they didn't expect that the war would end this year!

"Great! That's great! Princess Jian said repeatedly, her originally slightly haggard face was radiant because of the good news brought by Mu Yan.

She folded her hands and chanted "Bodhisattva bless", her eyes slightly sour.

On the one hand, she came to Jianning Temple to maintain filial piety for her deceased husband, and on the other hand, she also wanted to pray for her son Junran, who was far away in the north, and to avoid the disturbances in Beijing, killing three birds with one stone.

Princess Jian is not a person who does not know what to do, she knows that although Mu Yan did not say much, these few words were heartfelt and told the three of them the confidential military information.

This is a statement by Mu Yan.

Princess Jane breathed a sigh of relief in her heart: power is smoking, how many people have forgotten their original intentions and become another person after gaining power, fortunately, Mu Yan is different, Mu Yan is still the same Mu Yan in the past, and he will not hesitate to risk his life to go to the north to help his son......

If such Mu Yan ascends the throne, he shouldn't be like this!

Princess Jian slowly twisted the string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and thought of her deceased husband and the extremely difficult years......

Wuyang, who was sitting next to Princess Jane, could see at a glance that she was thinking about King Jian Junji first, and Wuyang diverted her attention casually, and said, "Mother, when Ah Ran comes back, next year's Buddha Bathing Festival, let's come here together again, okay?" ”

Princess Jian hurriedly nodded and said, "Wuyang is still thoughtful. It is time to come and make a vow, and you must come to repay the Bodhisattva's vow. ”

"When the time comes, Konishi and I will copy a volume of the Lotus Sutra and worship it here." Wuyang said with a smile, Jun Lingxi's little face almost didn't collapse, copying scriptures or something was too challenging her patience.

Knowing her daughter Mo Ruo's mother, of course Princess Jane could see her daughter's unwillingness, but she didn't see it. She thinks that people whose daughters are fast should calm down, copy Buddhist scriptures, and be a female celebrity or something.

Mu Yan was said by Wuyang, and he was also a little moved, the scenery around Jianning Temple is good, Duanmu Fei should also like it, maybe he can also bring her to the Buddha Bathing Festival next year......

The thought flashed, Mu Yan still remembered the business of this trip, and no longer greeted, and entered the topic: "Taifei, Wuyang, Xiaoxi, has there been anything special in the temple or in the surrounding area recently, or are there any strange people?" ”

"......" Princess Jian was confused.

Wuyang was stunned, and when she came back to her senses from the good news brought by Mu Yan, she immediately figured it out. Now that the situation in Beijing is complicated, Mu Yan naturally would not suddenly come to Jianning Temple for no reason, there must be a reason.

"What's going on?" Wuyang asked directly.

"I had a friend who was ambushed, was slightly injured and lost contact for a while. I guess he probably hid around here to recuperate. Mu Yan only picked up what he could say.

Princess Jian lived in a simple place, basically chanting Buddha and eating vegetarian every day, and knew nothing about the outside world, so she asked Wuyang and Jun Lingxi: "Wuyang, Xiaoxi, what do you know?" ”

Jun Lingxi thought about it, and suddenly let out a low breath, as if he had thought of something.

"I probably know a little bit." She said uncertainly, trying to remember the events at that time, "Three days ago, when I was walking by the lotus pond in the back temple, I seemed to see some blood stains on the ground, and I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and thought it was pilgrims or monks secretly killing raw meat in the temple......

Now listening to Mu Yan's words, Jun Lingxi suddenly realized that maybe something was not right.

"......" The corners of Princess Jane's eyes twitched, she really had some clue about this daughter, would normal people think in the direction of stealing meat food?

Wuyang couldn't help but smile, his smile bright. The idea is very "Konishi".

Jun Lingxi was originally unable to sit still, so he stood up eagerly and said, "Ah Yan, I'll take you to that place to have a look." ”

Princess Jian looked at her daughter's escape, shook her head secretly in her heart, turned her head to Wuyang and said, "Wuyang, you can go with them to have a look." ”

After the three of them retreated, they went to the back temple under the guidance of Jun Lingxi.

Jianning Temple is dense and lush, dyeing the surrounding temples and courtyards with greenery, quiet and serene, and making people feel peaceful in it.

There were not many pilgrims in the temple, and they only met a few monks along the way.

"It's in the lotus pond over there!"

Jun Lingxi raised his hand and pointed to the lotus pond in front of him, it is the season of lotus blooming, a pond of lotus ponds with green leaves and fields, and lotus fragrance.

Jun Lingxi took Mu Yan and Wuyang to a rockery by the lotus pond, pointed to a dark rockery cave and said, "This is it." ”

Mu Yan walked over, squatted at the entrance of the rockery cave, and when he looked closely, he found that there was indeed a pool of dark red blood next to a few bushes of wild grass on the ground.

There are still 10 tickets from 6000, and if there is a monthly pass, let's have one.

The second watch is at 14:30
