The next morning, Hu Xianxian was making breakfast, Cheng Haofeng was resting in the small hall, Qin Mufeng and Du Wanzhi began to count the medicines, Ma Shuo was still sleeping, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

Hu Xianxian went to open the door and saw a kind old man holding a snow-like child.

She was stunned for a moment before she remembered who the old man was, "Mr. Kang, come in and sit." How did you have time to come to Yizhuang? This little doll is your grandson, right? ”

Mr. Kang stroked his beard and agreed with a smile, followed Hu Xianxian into the courtyard and said to Qin Mufeng: "Qin Zhenren, the little old man has sent all the medicines you are looking for. ”

Hu Xianxian prepared breakfast, and several people chatted while eating breakfast in the hospital, and it turned out that Mr. Kang learned that those Yuezhou guests were healing in Shanfu Temple, so he brought the medicinal materials from his own medical center to the free clinic. During the free clinic, I heard Cen Zaidao talk about Cheng Haofeng's situation and Qin Mufeng asked them to help find medicine, so he asked for medicine and came to visit acquaintances by the way.

After breakfast, Qin Mufeng began to dispense medicine, and when he picked up the medicine, he picked up a piece of atractylodes and smelled it, frowned and said, "This atractylodes is less than a hundred years?" ”

Mr. Kang replied: "It's less than a hundred years, and these twenty years of atractylodes are still treasured by my acquaintance who collected the medicine." ”

Qin Mufeng put down the atractylodes, "This is not good, even if the medicinal materials are all ready, I am not sure to alleviate the pain of the third senior brother, if the medicinal materials are not suitable, it will be difficult to use them effectively." ”

Seeing his very worried look, Hu Xianxian asked softly, "Isn't there countless spiritual objects in the undersea holy realm?" Why hasn't there been a hundred years of atractylodes? ”

Qin Mufeng just smiled bitterly, Du Wanzhi and Cheng Haofeng sighed, but Mr. Kang patiently explained: "Immortal, don't you know that this hundred-year-old atractylodes is more difficult to find than a hundred-year-old ginseng." ”

"Isn't Atractylodes a common medicinal herb?"

"It's too common to have the last year's atractylodes, those fairy grass spiritual things are either maintained by someone or guarded by strange beasts, and it is not easy for people who usually collect medicine to pick them, so that they can last for a long time. What about this atractylodes, there are many mountains and fields, and no one cares, either let people pick them casually or let snakes, insects, rats and ants spoil them, how can they grow for hundreds of years. ”

Hu Xianxian twisted his fingers and asked unwillingly: "Didn't it happen to grow for hundreds of years?" Those dignitaries like to collect rare treasures, maybe someone will collect them? ”

Mr. Kang immediately had a look of surprise on his face when he heard this, and said loudly: "You reminded me of this, I heard a medicinal herb merchant mention that someone from the Shenjun Wangfu once asked him to buy medicinal materials, and asked him to prepare all the commonly used medicinal materials for hundreds of years. Maybe there is a treasure in the palace ......"

Before Mr. Kang finished speaking, Qin Mufeng had already risen in the air, and his voice came from afar: "You take care of the third senior brother, I'll go ask for medicine......"

After he left, several people were gossiping in the courtyard. A few people were talking and laughing, and before they knew it, it was almost an hour, and Qin Mufeng also returned at this time, but his expression was a little sad and angry.

Looking at his expression, Hu Xianxian's heart tightened a little: "There is no hundred-year-old atractylodes in the palace?" ”

Qin Mufeng shook his head and said to Hu Xianxian with some embarrassment: "They said that they would ask you for medicine before giving ......"

"Me?"

Cheng Haofeng snorted coldly: "Don't go, it's obviously deliberately making things difficult......"

Hu Xianxian was full of joy: "If you want to go, it's good to have medicine." ”

She flew straight to the palace in the air, and she didn't hear what Cheng Haofeng and they said.

At this moment, she didn't care about the surprise of those pedestrians, and flew straight to the gate of the palace before landing, she begged the guards guarding the door to pass it on her behalf, but they only said that the prince was not a guest.

Hu Xianxian was so anxious that she couldn't break into the palace, and if she made another scene, she wouldn't be able to administer medicine.

When she was in a hurry, she saw a familiar person coming over, that person was Bian Caiban, who had lived in Hongbin Building with Steward Zhou. Hu Xianxian eagerly stepped forward and said some old things and his intentions, begging him to help him pass on the word to the prince.

Bian Caiban said with a smile: "I'm just a subordinate, and I can't speak in front of the prince." Also, Miss Hu, you don't know, right? Since you last went back to make a big fuss in the palace, the prince has ordered it to come down, but whenever you come, you don't have to spread it. ”

Hu Xianxian suppressed his anger and said, "I can't see me, but he can't withhold the medicine and not save Cheng Haofeng, right?" He hadn't done anything to hurt the prince's face. I don't see the prince, I'll go into the house to get the medicine and leave. ”

Hu Xianxian was about to break in as he spoke, but the four guards guarding the door drew their swords and came out to stop them.

When she heard Bian Caiban say that King Shenjun would not see her, she was already angry in her heart, and then the guards obstructed her, she was even more angry. She really wanted to kill these guards and then grab the medicine, but in the end, she just glanced at them coldly, and flew straight to the door of the study.

"The folk girl Hu Xianxian begged to see the king of Shenjun and asked the prince to give medicine. In the future, if the prince is sent, Hu Xianxian will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not give up. ”

There was not a trace of movement in the study, the maids and servants walked quietly, and the only sound in the huge courtyard was the hissing of cicadas and the chirping of birds.

"Lord Wang, the people's daughter recklessly made trouble in the palace before, and her crime is unforgivable. I will receive all the punishment! It's just that those things have nothing to do with Cheng Haofeng, and he begged the prince to give him medicine. ”

There was still no response in the study, and Hu Xianxian had to wonder if King Shenjun was still in the study.

At this moment, Steward Zhou hurriedly walked in from outside, and when he passed by Hu Xianxian's side, he whispered, "Xianxian, as soon as I heard that you came to ask for medicine, I rushed over to take a look." Alas, don't make any more trouble. ”

With that, he whispered at the door to ask a guard if King Shenjun was still there, and the guard nodded his head.

Steward Zhou hurriedly walked up to Hu Xianxian and whispered, "It's still there." Do you remember what was the harshest thing you said last time? ”

Hu Xianxian thought about it for a while, and his heart was excited, this King Shenjun really deliberately made things difficult for himself. That's it, who let himself speak too harshly and too desperately, and greatly damage the face of King Shenjun?

She fell to her knees with a "thump" and waited silently.

After Steward Zhou asked someone to pass it on, he saw that King Shenjun only talked about some affairs in the house, and did not dare to intercede directly for Hu Xianxian.

Time passed little by little, from the time of the rising sun to the time of the sun. King Shenjun, who had been chatting with Steward Zhou for a long time, asked him to prepare wine and food, and he wanted to go to lunch.

King Shenjun walked out of the door and stood on the steps to look at Hu Xianxian with a smile, and asked Steward Zhou: "The kneeling woman is a little familiar, who is it?" ”

The shade in this house is quite cool, but Steward Zhou's forehead keeps oozing beads of sweat, and he whispered, "It's Miss Hu who came to ask for medicine." ”

King Shenjun glanced at the maid holding the tea next to him, and the maid hurriedly handed over the teacup. He took a slow sip of tea and asked with a smile, "Miss Hu?" Which Miss Hu is it? Is it the girl Hu who said that in addition to her biological father, even the emperor, the gods, the emperor, the queen of heaven, and even the Buddha refused to kneel? Hey, what's the matter of kneeling in front of me, the powerless and idle prince today? ”

Steward Zhou's sleeves were soaked with sweat, and the sweat on his forehead was still rising.

He looked at Hu Xianxian and then at the prince, and then said: "The old slave is very old, and there are many things that cannot be done thoughtfully. Moreover, the old slave was originally a subordinate who married with the old princess, and according to the rules, the palace was appointed by the eunuch to take charge of the affairs, and begged the prince to let the old slave go back to his hometown to recuperate. ”

Han Zexi, the king of Shenjun, squinted slightly at Steward Zhou, and after looking at it for a while, he smiled: "Uncle Zhou, you are smart, use the face of the concubine to press me." Well, you know that I can't let those eunuchs interfere in the affairs of the palace, so you won't be punished for your stupidity and negligence in causing the country shrews to insult the royal dignity. Go and do your business, and the king will see how long she can kneel. ”

After King Shenjun walked away surrounded by a group of servants and guards, Steward Zhou bowed and withdrew. When he retreated to Hu Xianxian's side, he rubbed his foot lightly, and something fell from his trousers.

Hu Xianxian's heart moved, and he drove his spiritual power to move the thing over to take a look, and it turned out to be a small piece of paper.

The scrap of paper reads: Murder is forgivable, crime is unforgivable.

Hu Xianxian's fingers twisted lightly, and the paper turned into flying ash. She pondered the meaning of this sentence, and after a few twists and turns in her mind, she gradually understood its meaning.

From ancient times to the present, people who hold power are most afraid of their subordinates not being greedy for money and lustful, nor are they ruthless and murderous, but they are most afraid of their subordinates committing chaos.

Therefore, the delay of history can not change the situation in which corrupt officials and corrupt officials are favored, treacherous and cruel officials are in power, and upright and upright officials are often degraded and wronged.

Not only did she damage King Shenjun's face that day, but also made King Shenjun, who had long wanted to be in power, feel that she ignored his authority, and might even challenge his authority and rebel against him. Now that she has the opportunity to bow her head, how can she easily let it go? Steward Zhou reminded her to show complete obedience and great awe of King Shenjun in order to obtain medicinal materials.

Hu Xianxian kept kneeling, and after the meal, King Shenjun went back to the back garden to rest, and did not go to the study until Shen Shi.

When he walked to Hu Xianxian's side, he slowed down slightly.

Hu Xianxian's voice was very low, and he said very slowly: "My reckless behavior earlier is unforgivable, but Cheng Haofeng's loyalty to the prince can be learned from heaven and earth. The folk girl Hu Xianxian is willing to receive all the punishments and ask for medicine for Cheng Haofeng. ”

King Shenjun's footsteps paused, hooked his lips and smiled: "I heard that even if this medicine is dispensed, it can only relieve some pain, and cannot cure Cheng Daochang's illness, why do you have to ask for medicine?" If Cheng Daochang is not alive, no matter how loyal he is, it is useless, right? ”

"If we can alleviate a little pain, we will have more hope, and we will remember the grace of the prince's medicine. If it is impossible to return to heaven and Cheng Haofeng has unfinished business, I will do it for him. ”

King Shenjun said a strange "oh" in a strange tone, looked at the sun and said: "This year's spring is extremely late, and the summer seems to be extraordinarily long. This king was so hot that his head was dizzy, and he couldn't remember where the hundred-year-old atractylodes were put for a while. ”

King Shenjun went into the study, and Hu Xianxian knelt under the sun.

When kneeling until the sun was shining, a slight cool breeze blew in the courtyard, and Hu Xianxian felt hotter. It wasn't that it was hot, it was the anger in her heart that burned her heart as hot as a volcano.

She was already about to hold back her anger and wanted to coerce King Shenjun to hand over the hundred-year-old Cangzhu Zi, when a person knelt down next to her silently.
