Chapter 6: The Prince
Bashan Chushui has always been a miserable place.
There is no beauty in Qinhuai Pavilion, there is a lack of romance in the smoke willow painting bridge, not to mention the wealth of Suhu Lake, pavilions and pavilions, and spring willows on the white causeway, it is like a dream.
However, the mountains are high and the water is deep, and the natural scenery is very beautiful.
In the eyes of the court officials, this is a poor and remote land that has not changed for thousands of years.
Out of Tongguan, go to the west of Sichuan, into the south of the sword.
Back then, the young prince of Nan'an, the fifth prince of the old emperor, Yin Mo, came to this place from Fugui Township after a long journey.
And his mother concubine is Princess Jin Sheng of Daliang back then, and now Concubine Jing in the Yin Palace.
It's not so much a feud, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a distribution!
In terms of this treatment, it is still hindered by his mother's identity as a "princess of the former dynasty", and some former ministers and generals are still remaining in the court.
As for these little minions, of course the old emperor is not afraid.
What he is afraid of is the pen of the official, and the reputation of the world after a hundred years.
In the face of the courtiers, the old emperor not only wanted to show his benevolent and generous heart, but also was really vigilant.
Therefore, the mother and son were separated early, and ordered: If the king of Nan'an does not have an edict, he will never be able to return to Yin.
More than ten years have passed, and the young King of Nan'an has grown up, and Ba County has been governed by him in an orderly manner, and the roads are not left behind and the houses are not closed at night, which is an ordinary scene.
In the local area, the people say that the prince of Nan'an is an authentic "virtuous king".
Loyal to the king and love the Lord, and care for his subordinates and the people downward.
The palace faces the south, built according to the mountain, the eaves are reversed, the corridor waist is manback, the green tile powder wall, the beams, columns, columns, etc. are all painted with vermilion lacquer.
Coupled with the unique moisture-proof facilities, the high and low are scattered together, and from a distance, it is both magnificent and magnificent, and the scales are coordinated.
On both sides of the Yin Hong Zhu Gate, there is an inscription with a line of words, which are:
"Kuanghuai Shijing is not Zhouci, and the poetry and books of the door are from Han rhyme."
There is a flower street alley in the backyard of the gate, which is very lively on weekdays.
If anyone living in the neighborhood has just caught fresh fish, new vegetables have come out of the ground...... It's all shouting and selling here.
Over time, for ordinary people, this place has become a treasure land of abundant things.
In the northeast corner of the palace, there stands a pavilion, hidden in the dense forest and bamboo, and the surrounding scenery is pleasant.
This is where King Nan'an studied when he was young.
The place is remote and inaccessible, and the subordinates who are responsible for cleaning and serving are all loyal servants by the prince's side.
Standing at the bottom of the pavilion, looking up, on the gilt plaque, three words were inscribed with Hui ink - Purple Hui Pavilion.
The handwriting is dragon and snake, strong and domineering.
On the Purple Emblem Pavilion.
Walk up the wide stairs, at the end of the staircase, there is a narrow road, walk past is a wind pavilion, and a complete set of Nanmu tables are placed in the center of the pavilion.
The incense burner on the table is full of dark fragrance, all kinds of melons and fruits are eaten, everything is available, the qin and the zheng, the instrument is played, and someone often replaces and wipes it.
There is a large beauty couch on the side, all of which are paved with filament cushions.
A few steps further, there is a boudoir with two entrances and two exits, the boudoir is simply furnished, there are not many things, but everything is a boutique.
On the hook on the side of the bed, there are also two bright night pearls, each the size of a fist.
On top of the bed, a woman was lying.
Her shoulders and back were exposed, and her originally white skin was scarred and blurred with blood.
Or because of the pain, Nea's weak body twitched from time to time, suggesting signs of her remaining life.
The man paced to the edge of the couch, his slender fingers brushing open the curtain.
The cool wind flowed in, and the woman's shoulders seemed to be twitching faintly, with more air out and less air in, already like a gossamer, and her life hung by a thread.
He frowned and sighed softly.
"Sir, how is it, but can you still be saved?"
The doctor who treated the woman in front of him was Mr. Ji, who was known as "Hua Tuo of the present world".
His original name was Ji Xiaosheng, born in a small farmer, he loved to study medicine since he was a child, and his medical skills were outstanding.
Ji Xiaosheng has a weak personality, hangs pots to help the world, and rescues thousands of people, but he is unwilling to gain fame.
is famous, and there are many people who come to him for medical treatment, including many traitors.
Some wealthy aristocrats rely on their status and often make unreasonable demands, which is annoying.
Five years ago, Zuo Sima Cai Heng's house was sick, and he sent a family member to invite Ji Xiaosheng to save people, but he couldn't delay it.
That man's face was dark, he had already lost his breath for a long time, even if he could come back to life, he couldn't ask for someone from Lord Yama!
"Childe has returned to heaven and has no skills, please prepare for the future."
This Cai Mansion is a place of right and wrong, with the prince of Yincheng on his head, he has always been domineering, who dares to provoke?
He wanted to get out of here.
Cai Heng's wife's surname is Niu, and she is a well-known Hedong lion's roar, where is she willing to stop?
Hearing Ji Xiaosheng's words, he immediately cried and wiped his tears, recklessly, and recklessly.
Coincidentally, that day coincided with the king of Nan'an's mansion, and Cai Heng was discussing in the front hall, and the backyard was too noisy, which alarmed the king of Nan'an.
A herb doctor, even if he is unjustly killed, is nothing to such people.
The lady was used to being domineering on weekdays, and she didn't catch the murderer, so she hated Ji Xiaosheng as a punching bag.
In front of the prince, she didn't say anything, and now she is going to pull out a knife and cut people.
Although Ji Xiaosheng has superb medical skills, he doesn't know any martial arts, and he only says "this life is over" in his heart!
At the last moment, King Nan'an intervened in time and saved one of his lives.
"Sima Cai, Ling Lang has been out of breath for a long time, no wonder Lang Zhong can't be careless about people's lives."
"Yes, yes...... The prince's lesson is that they are all ignorant insiders. ”
He endured the pain of losing his son, resenting the woman for losing his face, and resenting the murderer who had killed his son.
The two hatreds were intertwined, and his eyes suddenly turned red, from red to purple, and then from purple to black, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and he was a little angry, and he shouted at the woman.
"Damn slut, it's all your son who spoils him on weekdays, and you won't retreat! Shame in front of the prince! ”
Since then, Ji Xiaosheng has seen the good and evil in the world more clearly.
He sold the Caotang Pharmacy, kept his name incognito, carried only a pen and paper, wandered around the rivers and lakes, and became a barefoot man who inquired about his family.
Idle clouds and wild cranes for many years, so unhappy!
When I came back this time, I was invited by the king of Nan'an.
"Alas......"
Mr. Ji shook his head and sighed, his thin face drooped, and his expression became more and more solemn.
Yin Mo's heart tightened, and a bad premonition flashed.
"Sir, please make it clear, can you still be saved from this injury?"
"I have been practicing medicine for many years, and I have seen countless injuries and diseases, and I have been so ruthless and injured so badly, it is really the first time I have seen it, and it has dragged on for too long......"
At this point, he changed his words.
"Don't worry, although this injury is serious, but you can still save it with all your life's skills."
As he spoke, he unwrapped his baggage and took a pen to write a prescription.
"It's just that this medicine is expensive and hard to find, and the prince will have to spend some time and hurry."
"Sir, just write a list, and this king will do his best to find medicine."
I saw him pick up the pen and wave it, and the pen walked between the dragon and snake, and most of the white paper had been written, and in the blink of an eye, the white paper was black and white. He handed the medicine slip out.
"The prince quickly ordered someone to do it, to be fast, just ......"
"Just what?"
"Although this life has been saved, the scars on this body can only be determined by providence."
His eyes flashed, as if he had something to say.
"Mr. ......"
"Lord Wang, I know that you are a benevolent person, the little old man was unfortunate and almost died, and you saved him."
With that sharp look, he glanced at the couch.
"It's just that I see this woman, her appearance and appearance, are not ordinary people, she has fallen to this point, and the links are tortuous, I am afraid it is not simple, the prince should also think about it more, and have a foolproof plan as soon as possible."
King Nan'an's heart warmed, and he not only sighed at Ji Xiaosheng's transparency and sensitivity, but also thanked him for his righteous words.
He chuckled.
"Please also ask the prince, don't blame the old man for being too talkative."
King Nan'an pursed his lips and groaned, and after a while, he retreated from his subordinates before slowly explaining the reason.
Ji Xiaosheng has traveled abroad for many years, and he knows a little about the story of King Nan'an, so he nodded and didn't ask any more.
Just as the two were about to leave, a pretty woman, holding a vermilion lacquer plate in her hand, Shi Shiran walked in.
She is fifteen years old, wearing a green smoke gauze loose flower skirt and a pair of red embroidered forging shoes on a white background.
The posture is slender and thin, soft as a willow, the skin is better than snow, the appearance is delicate and bright, and the speech is tactful like a warbler's cry, mixed with three points of softness, which is very pleasant.
It can be seen from her expression and movements that this woman's self-cultivation is excellent, but when she looks at King Nan'an, her eyes will inadvertently reveal a hint of affection.
The little old man was shrewd, and after just one glance, he knew it.
"Shu'er, there is labor for you here, and I am always worried about others."
Qin Shu'er said softly: "Don't worry, I will do my best to take care of this sister." ”
Hearing the sound of the two duo duo coming downstairs, she walked to the edge of the bed, and lightly removed all the clothes from the woman's body.
Seeing this tragic scar, I couldn't help frowning, and a feeling of pity suddenly arose in my heart.
The innocent ointment is faintly fragrant, applied to the blood-red scar, with a hint of coolness, slowly seeping into the skin.
Even though she had been careful, every time she touched it, the flesh on her back still twitched unconsciously like a dream.
"Bring the decoction, I'll feed her it, I'll take the medicine again on the third watch, and take a decoction on the fourth watch, someone needs to serve it, remember?"
"The slave understands, Miss Qin can rest assured."
Through the curtain, Qin Shu'er sighed inadvertently, and her expression became very stunned.
"You go down first, I'll call you when I have something."
"The prince's little servant came to pass the word and asked the girl to come over."
"Lord ......"
Hearing these two words, a quiet joy rose in her heart, but on the surface, it was still as usual, calm and calm.
"Let me change my clothes, and I'll be there."
In the whispering and chaotic memories of the people in the dream, he who had disappeared for a long time, the person who was thinking about his heart, seemed to be standing in front of him again.
The room was empty, and it was as if it had gone back in time.
The candlelight flickered, and the lights in the core danced brightly, making people's eyes swell and ache.
There was a faint noise outside, and the fragrance of Baiyi rose in the furnace, wafting in the huge room, turning into a dark and faint fragrance, penetrating into the nose.
In my memory, there is a gold-inlaid jade begonia hairpin, the filigree is exquisitely made, the texture is delicate, the color is clear and pink, bright and vulgar, showing vitality and vigor, making people shine.
He looked at her, handsome, and gentle, as he had when he first saw her.
"Jiu'er, shall I plug it in for you?"
She was ecstatic, full of hope, and sat obediently in front of the silver mirror, like countless young girls, wholeheartedly, waiting for this ignorant beauty.
Somehow, suddenly, the chaotic world was cloudy.
The whole body is like ten thousand needles passing through, stinging sharply, making people unable to exert any strength, and the body is hot and dry.
In a trance, it seems that the scene has changed again.
Yin Jian sat on top, looking at himself sadly, his eyes full of pity, his lips chapped and pale, and he snorted a few times with difficulty.
"If you have any grievances in your heart, tell this palace, and this palace will definitely make decisions for you."
Familiar sounds penetrate the eardrums and flow through the body like electricity.
It's him...... It's him......
Her internal organs were churning inside, her chest was heaving, and she wanted to scream hoarsely.
Your Highness...... Prince......
But no matter how much she shouted, her throat was always hoarse, and she couldn't spit out half a word.
"Then I'm leaving."
In a hurry, she opened her eyes with a "brush", her elbows on the edge of the bed, and she struggled to get up.
There was a tearing pain in her body, and she ignored it, and with all her strength, she flipped and fell to the bottom of the bed, dragging his sleeve tightly.
"Your Highness......"
The tears could no longer be stopped, and they fell down the cheek line.
All the stubbornness and strength, at this moment, were all scattered, and the "bang" could no longer be held, turning into wet and salty tears, gurgling down.
She choked up and couldn't speak, so she could only stiffen her neck and shout frantically at the person in front of her.
"Your Highness...... It's her, it's the hidden ......."
"Jiu'er!"
He let out a low roar, and his warmth was completely gone, as if he had changed people, just looking at her strangely and pitifully.
After a long time, a wry smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
The dim candlelight is about to go out, and darkness is enveloping all around.
"Jiu'er, don't say it."
"I want to say, Your Highness, you told me to say it! The Hidden Queens tormented me...... Since I entered the palace, since His Royal Highness likes Jiu'er, he has been torturing me since he was hidden...... She's going to kill me......"
Forbearance, grievance, unwillingness, resentment, pain...... The emotions of the years poured out, breaking through the shackles of forbearance, desperately looking for an outlet.
But the more she cried, the farther he went, and the louder her voice, the faster his steps became, and at last he disappeared completely into the darkness of the night.
The cold mist was enchanting, and in the distance, a gust of yin wind hit, as if in the eighteenth layer of hell.
"Your Highness!"
Ying'er, who was napping by the door, woke up, was stunned, and hurriedly pushed the door.
Lifting the curtain, the woman on the bed was screaming in a nightmare, her hands clutching in the air, waving wildly, her voice miserable, and tears streaming down her face.
Ying'er leaned over, held her hand firmly, and called softly.
"Wake up, girl...... Wake up, girl......"
Perhaps it was warmth and support, but the crying voice of the person on the couch gradually stopped, leaving only silent sobbing, and in the corner of the eye, there were still a few crystal teardrops.
The pain hit her, her brow furrowed, her whole body was hot, and she began to have a fever.
Ying'er took a thin layer of ice, wrapped it in silk yarn, and carefully applied it to her.
Seeing that she was thirsty all the time, she brought tea again, moistened it with a clean hand towel, and wiped her lips several times.
The little girl dozed hard, shaking the fan back and forth, knowing that the patient was weak, and she didn't dare to work too hard, but fortunately, the costumer was used to it, and the scale was very appropriate.
Ying'er and Qin Shu'er are the same age.
Twelve years ago, a family fled from a foreign country, accidentally bumped into this place, fainted on the road, and almost trampled a horse to death on the official road.
When the prince saw this, he saved them.
That year, Ying'er was only three years old.
Since then, she has served by the prince's side, and she has also learned a few tricks from the prince's master, but ordinary little people can't beat her!
When it was the fourth watch, drowsiness hit, and unconsciously, she fell asleep with a fan under the bed.
Qin Shu'er had no sleep all night.
She was also born in a green building, and with her superb piano skills, she won a "clean and self-friendly" praise, although there are many benefactors, but most of them are celebrities and decent gentlemen.
How many people admired, in addition to listening to the piano, but also to see her beauty.
King Nan'an is one of them.
He was fascinated by her talent, and she fell in love with this elegant son.
Every three days, he must go to the party one day, but she is looking forward to him every day.
came and went, and each other left a shadow in each other's hearts.
It wasn't until later that she knew that the man in front of her was actually the lord of Ba County, the current Fifth Highness, and the highly praised prince of Nan'an here!
Since then, the admiration in my heart has deepened.
After taking the medicine three times, she looked out the window in a daze, and the scenery under the platform was so lonely that it was panicking.
The night wind swept across the earth, stirring up the sound of pine waves like a wave, and it was like a hundred ghosts walking at night in the distance, which made people feel a burst of sweat in their hearts.
The woman on the couch inevitably made her reverie, the prince used such a great force, and even did not hesitate to find Mr. Ji and let the personal Ying'er take care of it, which shows how much attention is paid to this woman.
I don't know when, the sound of rain outside the window gradually started, hitting the vermilion window lattice, making a crisp sound, messy, just like her thoughts.
Seeing that the people on the couch were sleeping peacefully and no longer had intermittent nightmares, she lowered the curtain and woke up Ying'er softly.
"It's the fifth watch, I'll wait, you go to sleep."
"Girl, how is this ......?"
"Shh......h Go for it. ”
Ying'er rubbed her hazy eyes, and she was very grateful.
