Chapter XXVIII

In the blink of an eye, the spring in the south is far away with the gradually hot wind. Hiding in the green shade of the summer, prompted a cicada song, brought the graceful lotus flowers, the warm breeze smoked the tourists drunk, and a lively summer spread out in the south.

It is said that the queen copied the "Female Classic" a hundred times, handed over to the Huachen Palace, the emperor did not even look at it, saying that he was angry for a while, and did not want the queen to take it seriously, and rewarded some brocade jewelry, which was revealed, and then the palace from time to time said that the queen and the second concubine of Shude got along very well, and the harem showed a stable and peaceful trend for a while. The bored Scarlet Smoke only takes this as a joke, and forgets it after hearing it. Today's queen's temperament that will be repaid, if it is said that she can endure it for a while, she can still believe in three points, and she can still get along with the second concubine very well after suffering a dumb loss, she doesn't believe it, but it has nothing to do with her.

Another day, after Scarlet Yan asked Scarlet to say goodbye, she returned to the small courtyard, and asked Xiangling to change her outfit, tie up her hair into a crown, smear some powder to cover her complexion, and then draw her eyebrows and raise the corners of her eyes. Looking into the bronze mirror again, a handsome man appeared in the mirror, which was the outfit used by Scarlet Smoke on the street these days.

After changing into men's clothes, it is impossible for Scarlet Smoke to go to the front door. When he came to a locked side door, he took out the small hairpin he had prepared from his sleeve, aimed at the keyhole, put the hairpin inside, and turned it, and the rusty iron lock fell in response. Scarlet Smoke caught it, turned around and put it on Xiangling's hand, and then strode out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Along the back street of Xiangfu all the way to the west, turn into a few alleys and walk south for about a mile, Scarlet Yan stopped in front of a good hall, but heard someone on the side greet loudly, "Doctor Yan is here so early!" ”

Scarlet Yan looked at the voice, and saw a shopkeeper dressed in coarse cloth clothes, with a white rag on his shoulder, and a slightly chubby, mediocre-looking shopkeeper smiling at her. She immediately responded in a thick voice, "Hey, it's idle to go back and be idle, it's better to see a few more patients, and be sure." ”

Right now, this good hall is open with scarlet smoke. After asking Wei Chimu for two shops that day, although he met the five princes and couldn't go to the store to see, but later he was free, Scarlet Yan still came here to inspect it in person, and saw that Wei Chimu gave her two shops connected together, so he asked people to open it, make a partition, and open a good hall. She had already learned a body of medical skills, and Scarlet Yan thought that she was idle, so it was better to use this medical skill, so she assumed the name of Yan Fei and became the owner of this good hall.

Scarlet Smoke had already raised some flowers and herbs in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the first thing she did when she opened Shantang was to solve the supply, so she told her friend Yin Ruohe about it, Yin Ruohe learned about it, and couldn't help but agree to sell the flowers and herbs she raised to Scarlet Tobacco at a low price, and even volunteered to find a source of medicinal materials for her.

However, just as Scarlet Smoke was about to seek the help of King Xinling, he didn't want the fifth prince to know about it alone. On that day, Wei Ting was still dressed as a deputy fortune teller, came to the charity hall that had just opened in Scarlet Smoke, stared at her for a long time, and decided to contribute. So a few days later, this newly opened benevolent hall ushered in its second owner, the folk divine doctor, Mr. Yang Jiuhui.

Although it was morning, there was already a queue at the door of the good hall, and the good hall had been open for some time, and the reputation of Scarlet Yan Fei had already spread, and the patients saw her coming, and they all raised a little smile and called her affectionately, "Doctor Yan is here." ”

Scarlet Yan nodded with a smile and walked towards the good hall, but before entering the house, she found that there were a few ragged people sitting in front of the restaurant next door, but they didn't look like natives from the south, they looked like Hu people, and she couldn't help but think about it for a while, I couldn't help but think about it here, on the way when she came, I also saw two or three times, three or five groups of Hu people sitting on the side of the road, ragged, looking hungry.

It was July. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, if she remembered correctly, there would soon be a turmoil on the northern edge of the southern kingdom. This year, the rain is insufficient, the north is mostly grassland, and it is even drier, and the pasture growth is not good, so the nomadic herdsmen's harvest is naturally unsatisfactory, and they can't even guarantee their daily life, so they go to harass the residents living in the border areas in the south. The soldier guarding the frontier was a pure soldier who could not be flexible and did not know how to do business, and he was annoyed by the nomadic harassment of the northern country, so he organized an army to drive him away. This drive gave the northerners an excuse to start a war.

At this time, King Xinling should have led troops to guard the frontier, but Wei Xian would change his tune and strongly recommend the Seventh Prince, who had been neglected for a long time, to lead troops to the frontier. The emperor had special trust in himself, the crown prince, and most of the officials in the court agreed with him, so he did not doubt him and ordered the seven princes to lead the army. However, it was in this turmoil that the Seven Princes were killed on the battlefield by an arrow through the chest by their lieutenant.

Wei Xian's wishful thinking was not only to get rid of the Seven Princes, but also to set his sights on the military talismans. In the last life, after this incident, Wei Xian's two wishes were fulfilled, and now that Scarlet Smoke has made a comeback and stood on the opposite side of him, how could he let his trick succeed? Although she had never seen these seven princes, there was someone in the court who always made Wei Xian feel that the throne was threatened, and Scarlet Smoke was happy to see this.

Scarlet Yan put down his mind slightly, entered the good hall, began to diagnose the pulse of several patients, prescribed a few pairs of medicines, and saw that the divine doctor Yang Jiuhui used the golden needle to save the life of a patient suffering from acute illness, and was pocketing the golden needles, and couldn't help but feel a little envious, "Yang Lao's golden needle can be described as a wonderful hand to rejuvenate, Yan Xiaozi looked envious." ”

Yang Jiu, who was nearly seventy years old but had a childish face, laughed when he heard this, "The old man is old, so that the golden needle is more and more inadequate, if you can heal more people, what does it matter if this golden needle teaches you?" Would you like to learn from the old man? ”

Scarlet Yan was overjoyed when she heard this, although she learned medical skills from her master since she was a child, but because she was still young and her wrist strength was insufficient, the master did not teach her acupuncture and other medical skills. On weekdays, she sees Yang Lao Shi a lot, and on a whim, she will also use her arm to test the needle according to Yang Lao's method in her memory, but sometimes it works, and sometimes the needle is pricked, except that it will make her cry in pain, but it has no effect. can discuss with Yang Lao, and her acupuncture level will definitely go up to a higher level.

"How dare the kid be unwilling, I hope the master doesn't dislike the kid for being stupid." Scarlet Smoke bowed to Yang Lao, thought about it and prepared to make an apprenticeship ceremony, but was stopped by Yang Lao, he laughed, "Okay, you don't need to apprentice, you just call the old man Yang Lao, the old man's golden needle has a successor, thank you It's too late, what are you doing with me?" ”

Scarlet Smoke smiled.

"Doctor Yan, someone is looking for you outside!" Suddenly, the little guy in the front hall called loudly, and Scarlet Yan responded when he heard the words, said hello to Yang Lao, and went to the front hall.

When she arrived at the front hall, she saw that the person who came was actually the fifth prince in disguise, and her heart was relieved, she was worried about how to report to the seventh prince, and the messenger was sent to the door. When the two met, they first greeted and ridiculed, and when the scarlet smoke was on time, Yingying's eyes were brought to the Hu people on the side, and she said softly, "When the fifth prince came, you can see that what is the difference between the streets of Chao'an City and before?" ”

Wei Ting heard her say this, and as she looked at her, his brows swept slightly, "Brother Yan is saying that there are more Hu people on this street?" ”

Sure enough, he was a thoughtful person, Scarlet nodded, and said intentionally or unintentionally, "Speaking of which, these Hu people are really pitiful, from the north to this Chao'an City, the road is far away, not to mention, they have come here, but they have no place to live, and they are embarrassed to live on the streets." ”

"Definitely. The habits of the Hu people are different from those of the people of southern China, and the weather is hot and dry, and the combination of hunger is particularly inconvenient to manage. Wei Ting held his chin in his hand, thought for a while, and said slowly.

Scarlet sighed lightly, "If there is a home to go back to, who would want to suffer from this upheaval?" ”

Wei Ting was stunned for a moment, he sensed the aftermath of her words, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by the words of a person who rushed in.

"Yan Gongzi, something is wrong!"

What's going on? Scarlet was startled, seeing that the man was really angry, but his voice sounded particularly familiar, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, "What happened?" ”

The man glanced at Wei Ting on the side, walked straight to Scarlet Yan's side, leaned down and said something in her ear, Wei Ting saw that the originally light and breezy person suddenly stiffened, and there was an urgency in his eyes that he had never seen before, but for some reason, there was a slight strange feeling in his heart, like regret why she didn't appear for herself with this look.

Scarlet Smoke was so anxious, she never thought that the man who appeared at this time was actually the secret guard of the Xinling Palace. The dark guard was originally a person in the shadows, but now he abandoned the dark and turned to the light to report to her, which shows the importance of the matter. In fact, the moment he revealed his identity, Scarlet Smoke had an ominous premonition in his heart. Sure enough, according to the secret guard, King Xinling refused to use her blood pressure to make poison, and at this time in the dungeon of the Xinling Palace, life and death were unknown!

Since the last time he told Wei Chimu about that, Scarlet Yan hadn't spoken to him again, and even if he met, he only glanced at him from a distance. In order to avoid embarrassment, in the past few months, every few days before the poison, Scarlet Smoke bleeds by itself, packed it in a container, and sent someone to send it to the Xinling Palace. Knowing that with Wei Chimu's temperament, he would never use that blood pressure to control the poison in his body when he was conscious, so she ordered her subordinates to mix the blood in their meals and let him drink it.

But he didn't want to, today's move was actually seen through by him, Wei Chi Mu was furious, and even wanted to drive the housekeeper out of the Xinling Palace, at this time a cadre was kneeling at the door of the palace. And the poison of bloodthirstiness, unless it has been suppressed, once it attacks, its virulence will be doubled, and the pain suffered by Yu Chimu will also be doubled.

Life and death unknown...... But he can't die yet!
