The arrow is on the string, and I have to send it, and I am the fish and meat for the knife.

This is Shen Muxi's current situation, the only thing to be thankful for is that Chunxiu's wound has scabbed, as long as you don't exercise vigorously, don't crack the wound twice, and there is basically no problem in hurrying.

"If you're tired, speak!" Shen Muxi and Chunxiu rode in the same carriage.

Chunxiu's face turned blue and shook her head stubbornly, "I'm fine!" ”

In fact, Shen Muxi didn't know that Chunxiu was strong, and the wound was healing, but weakness was also real.

But Chunxiu is a tendon, she thinks very straightforwardly, and she doesn't know how to turn, for fear that those people will leave her and take Shen Muxi away when they see that she is uncomfortable. In Chunxiu's heart, Shen Muxi is a piece of tofu, and he has to fall apart when he is bumped and touched, if he is not by Shen Muxi's side, he may have to suffer a lot of losses.

Opening the medicine box, Shen Muxi took out a pill, "It can fix the qi, so that you can last longer." ”

Chunxiu smiled, feeling a kind of embarrassment of being exposed, "Doctor Shen! ”

"Let's eat!" Shen Muxi smiled helplessly, "I know that you don't dare to say anything, for fear of being left behind." ”

Chunxiu honestly swallowed the pill, and after the carriage traveled for a while, it was raining outside. They did not take the official road, but took the small road, and it was difficult to walk at night, let alone the rainy night road.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and Liu De'an's voice came from outside, "Doctor Shen, we will stay in this broken temple for one night tonight, and we will go again tomorrow." ”

Shen Muxi lifted the curtain of the car door and poked his head out to look out.

The broken temple in the mountains is quite spacious, with tiles to cover the head, and it is also excellent to avoid the rain.

"Chunxiu, be careful!" Shen Muxi took a handful.

Chunxiu stood in place when she came down and gasped, the narrow carriage was bumpy, and she couldn't breathe, "Doctor Shen, if you have anything to do tonight, you must wake me up." I may be tired and fall asleep, but if you call me, I will get up. ”

As she spoke, Chunxiu dragged Shen Muxi and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid they won't be well." ”

Shen Muxi nodded, "I know, I'll eat something later, and I'll decoct you the medicine." ”

"Good!" Chunxiu bowed, "I'll sleep when you decoct the medicine, let's change it." ”

This is a good idea, although the people who left the palace also followed, but after all, the number of people was small. And Liu Dean deliberately let his guards block the people who left the palace, the two sides were separated by a certain distance, and the people from the palace couldn't get closer at all, so Shen Muxi and Chunxiu could only be vigilant.

There was dry food in the baggage, and the things in the medicine house before were in the carriage at the back, and they were taken care of by the people who left the palace.

Liu De'an accompanied Shen Muxi to get the medicine, and then came back to stare at Shen Muxi's decoction.

"You're such a nuisance, how come you're like a fly, it's endless, isn't it?" Chunxiu was angry and glared at Liu De'an fiercely, "If Dr. Shen wants to be convenient later, do you have to follow?" ”

"Chunxiu?" Shen Muxi signaled her not to speak, which annoyed these people and did not benefit them, not to mention that she had not figured out Liu De'an's bottom for the time being, so she should not act rashly.

But Chunxiu couldn't bear it, and looked at Liu De'an holding the sword, and followed Shen Muxi to dangle in front of his eyes, as if he had eaten a dead fly, so disgusting that he didn't want it, "What about you!" Are you here to arrest people, or are you here to invite people? ”

The motivation is not the same, and the results will be very different.

"Yes, please!" Liu De'an said, "No matter what, I have to ensure Dr. Shen's safety." ”

"I think you're the most unsafe!" Chunxiu snorted twice, these old men who are playing are not good things.

Shen Muxi's expression was focused on the decoction, and Liu De'an sat on the side against the pillar, not saying anything, just guarding. The accompanying guards were arranged to stay outside or in a few dilapidated houses next door, and it was quiet here.

The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, and I don't know if Ming'er can stop.

Chunxiu took the medicine, lay on the side of the haystack and dozed off, not daring to close her eyes, and finally Shen Muxi took the coat and covered Chunxiu's body, Chunxiu smelled the faint smell of medicine and finally closed her eyes, and she snorted like thunder.

Liu De'an frowned, turned his head to look at the spring show on the haystack, I am afraid that I will not have to sleep tonight. Looking at Shen Muxi again, he didn't seem to be sleepy, standing alone at the window looking at the rain outside, as if he had something on his mind. But he is a guard commander and a man, so it is inconvenient to inquire too much.

Listening to the sound of thunder in his ears, Liu De'an could only pretend to sleep without closing his eyes.

Shen Muxi missed her son, but fortunately, Shen Zhi was taken away at that time, so she used a carrier pigeon to bring the news to Lu Guizhou. The content of the letter is very simple, and it is also to prevent being cut off halfway, so only eight words are written: Zhi and Dongdu, take proper care.

The news should have arrived before Shen Zhi arrived in the Eastern Capital, after all, the speed of the pigeons must have exceeded the journey of the carriage and horses.

With a sigh, Shen Muxi walked to the door alone, sat on the threshold with his cheeks crossed, and behind him was Chunxiu's deafening snoring. She didn't care at all, she was afraid that she would startle Chunxiu with a sigh, Chunxiu needed to rest well, otherwise she would be overwhelmed if she continued to travel tomorrow.

Suddenly, footsteps rang out, "Lord Commander!" ”

Liu Dean quickly got up and walked outside the door, the guard didn't know what to say to Liu De'an, Liu Dean left quickly, looking a little flustered, and the guard who had passed the word before stayed and stood with the guard at the door.

Because Liu De'an was guarding before, there were only two guards guarding the door.

Right now, it's three.

Shen Muxi stood at the door, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in their gourd, but she felt that something was not quite right, and after thinking about it, it was better to wake up Chunxiu, so as not to be caught off guard. "Chunxiu? Spring show! Shen Muxi squatted on the side, pushing, "Chunxiu wake up, spring ......"

"Knock" and "knock" were muffled, Shen Muxi turned his head to look out of the door in astonishment, stood up in shock, and his heart instantly rose to his throat.

The guard who passed the word before suddenly turned his face, and the two guards at the door were defenseless, and the two guards didn't even have time to snort, so they wiped their necks and died at the door.

Shen Muxi's heart "popped", it's broken!

"Shen Muxi!" The guard let out a low cry and swooped down on Shen Muxi with a bloody knife.

Shen Muxi picked up the incense burner and threw it at the man, the incense ash was scattered everywhere, instantly fascinating the man's eyes, and she took the opportunity to run out of the door. The other party's target is obviously her, as long as she runs out, Chunxiu will be fine.

She has to run, and running out of this courtyard will alarm Liu De'an's people, but at the same time, it will also alarm the people who leave the palace.

Whichever side is alarmed, it will be beneficial and harmless to her. If Liu De'an dared to kill her openly, he would not have come to this trick; And the people who left the palace would not watch her being killed, otherwise there would be no way to explain to Bo Yunxiu.

It was raining outside, Shen Muxi ran into the rain, the heavy rain was falling, and he hit his body with his head and face, and it hurt a little.

Behind him was the sound of the man trampling on a puddle of water, and the rain clanged against the blades.

"Doctor Shen!" Chunxiu shouted, carrying a pig-killing knife and rushing into the rain.

Shen Muxi's feet slipped and suddenly fell to the ground, but fortunately, this fell so that the opponent's knife was cut off, and it slashed diagonally from the door of the head, and when the person lifted the knife again, Chunxiu had already chopped it off.

The man hurriedly raised his hand to block, but who knew that Chunxiu was ruthless, and he slashed the man's arm tremblingly, and even the blade was cut by the pig-killing knife. As a result, he had to take a few steps back.

Chunxiu took the opportunity to pick up Shen Muxi, "Let's go!" ”

The cold light flashed, and the moment the knife struck from behind, Shen Muxi used all his strength to push Chunxiu away......

Heavy rain, torrential rain.

With an exclamation, Shen Zhi woke up in his sleep, his little face was as white as paper, and his forehead was full of cold sweat. He ran out of the room quickly, running barefoot in the corridor, in the dark and rainy night, the soles of his feet "click", "click" on the cold and slippery stone slabs, combined with the sound of rain outside, enough to make people's hearts hairy. Standing on the steps, Shen Zhi gasped for breath, he realized that this was not home, there was no mother here, this was a completely strange place, he ...... Just had a nightmare.

"What are you doing?" The door behind him suddenly opened.

Shen Zhi turned around in astonishment, his pale little face was a little wet, I don't know if it was the rain outside or the tears in his eyes.

Wind and rain, the lanterns in the cloister swayed from side to side, mottled light and shadow fell at the feet, the dim light reflected a large and a small figure, but the look on the face was very different, one was as cold as frost, and the other was frightened and worried.

Bo Yunxiu had a cold face, Shen Zhi rarely had a time when he lost control, especially when he cried, along the way, the child held the bag of beans and didn't let go, and he didn't lose the paper bag after eating, and hid it on his body for safekeeping.

Of course, Shen Zhi ignored him, largely because Shen Zhi felt that most of the beans were inexplicably missing, and thought that Bo Yunxiu ate them, and seeing that he was about to enter the Eastern Capital City tomorrow, he didn't say a word to Bo Yunxiu again.

The hatred of stealing beans is not shared.

This is the line outside the eastern capital, and the news that they live here has already been sent to the city, and someone will come to greet them early tomorrow morning.

Shen Zhi didn't expect that he would run to him as soon as he ran around.

Bo Yunxiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, looking at his reddish little feet, his face became more and more heavy, "Answer the question!" ”

Shen Zhi was still annoyed with him, those beans were what he ate, otherwise how could there be so much less? Could it be that the beans have long legs, and they can't run away? He wiped away the tears from his face fiercely, and stubbornly raised his head to look at Bo Yunxiu.

The soles of his feet were cold, and he subconsciously put his feet together, and his toes curled up slightly.

Huang Li ran to salute, and just took a nap, but he didn't expect it......

"Lord Wang!" Huang Li hurriedly said, "Take him back!" ”

Saying that, Huang Li hurriedly went to hug Shen Zhi, "Shen Gongzi, don't disturb the prince's rest, go back quickly!" You see your feet are red, why don't you wear shoes when you come out on this rainy day? ”

"I'm having nightmares!" Shen Zhi said.

Huang Li was stunned for a moment, his body stiffened slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at Bo Yunxiu.

"I dreamed of my mother's blood." Shen Zhi said again.

I have to say that Shen Zhi is smart, he doesn't want to forgive Bo Yunxiu for stealing beans, but he is worried about his mother's safety. Huang Li didn't have the authority to send someone to protect his mother, but Bo Yunxiu could. So Shen Zhi's words were not only said to Huang Li, but also specifically to Bo Yunxiu!

The so-called mother-child connection, there are some things you have to believe.

Huang Li hugged Shen Zhi back to the room, "Shen Gongzi, it's the middle of the night, you run out like this, what if there is any damage?" ”

After taking a clean handkerchief, Huang Li carefully wiped Shen Zhi's feet, "The prince hasn't rested well for the past two days, and seeing that Ming'er is about to enter the city, you must not disturb him again." The prince has things in his heart and a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and many things are not something you can figure out, but I hope you can understand. He also has his problems, he just doesn't want to talk about it! ”

"Since you don't want to say it, you naturally have to bear it yourself, who is to blame?" Shen Zhi put his hands around his chest and hummed twice to stop his head.

Huang Li couldn't smile bitterly, "My temper is bad, hurry up and sleep!" ”

But where can Shen Zhi still sleep, lying on the bed, looking at Huang Li covering himself with a quilt, he couldn't help but ask tentatively, "If something really happens to my mother, will the prince take care of it?" ”

"What nonsense?" Huang Li shook his head, "You, I just miss your mother so much!" Dr. Shen is accompanied by Chunxiu, how could something happen? What's more, the prince has left someone, if there is really something, the prince will definitely receive the news. Don't be cranky, go to sleep. ”

Shen Zhi was not at ease, and dragged Huang Li's hand and refused to let go, "You guarantee that my mother will be fine?" I really had nightmares, I really dreamed of my mother, my mother was covered in blood, I was really scared. Uncle, now only you can help me. Can you help me? You help me find out the news. ”

Looking at the child's pleading eyes, Mi Li couldn't bear to refuse, "Then you will be obedient tomorrow, and I will help you ask." ”

"Hmm!" Shen Zhi lay down and obediently hugged the quilt, "I will definitely be very obedient and obedient, I won't cause trouble, even if I see that bad boy tomorrow, I will endure it." ”

Huang Li opened his mouth, and he couldn't bear it. He didn't mean that, he just wanted the child to sleep and not to annoy the prince anymore, but he didn't expect Shen Zhi to have seven tricks in his heart and think about everything thoroughly, even Ming'er would see Bo Yu's mother and son, what kind of storms and difficulties would he face, Shen Zhi thought of it.

With a sigh, he turned around and walked out.

Shen Zhi closed his eyes, and even if he didn't sleep, he had to pretend to be very obedient, only in this way could he get news from his mother. In this unaccompanied, the only thing he could do was to be well-behaved and patient.

Huang Li didn't expect that Bo Yunxiu hadn't slept, and had been standing in place, staring at the rain outside the eaves with a solemn expression.

With a slight panic in his heart, he hurriedly saluted, "Lord Wang! ”

"Sleeping?" Bo Yunxiu said.

Huang Li replied, "I guess not, but I have already laid back, and promised to be obedient." ”

"What did you promise him?" How can everything be hidden from Bo Yunxiu's eyes.

Huang rolled out of his throat, slightly weak, "I just promised Shen Gongzi that I would pay attention to Dr. Shen's news." But Shen Gongzi also agreed to his humble position, he will be obedient and patient, and he will not make any trouble. ”

Bo Yunxiu didn't respond, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Suddenly, Bo Yunxiu dropped a sentence lightly, "Check it out immediately and report it quickly!" ”

Huang Li was stunned for a moment, waiting for Bo Yunxiu's door to close, he came back to his senses in amazement, the prince is this- agreed? It stands to reason that nothing will happen, unless the Fu Yin of Lincheng eats the bear's heart and leopard gall, how dare he move Shen Muxi? Moreover, there are guards who leave the palace, even if they are officials in the eastern capital, they have to retreat when they see people leaving the palace, let alone make things difficult.

It's just a child, a nightmare that misses his mother, and the prince takes it seriously?!

After dawn, the first to come was Qian Lizheng, the waiter of the Criminal Department, who had an accident with his son, as a father, how could he not worry? But the king is not an ordinary person, Qian Lizheng can only wait outside the line, waiting for Bo Yunxiu to summon him.

"Lord Wang!" Bow down.

Bo Yunxiu has finished changing his clothes, brocade clothes and jade clothes, python robe and jade belt, and there is a look of non-anger and self-authority between his eyebrows and eyes, today he is not going to the court, but to find the queen mother. The Tianchan Snow Jade Pill is so precious, the Queen Mother will not reward it easily, but if you want to find out the cause and effect of the matter, you must let Qian Chuyang wake up, otherwise the missing Guan Aotian may disappear forever.

"Lord Qian is out asking to see you!" Deserted.

"Don't beg, let him enter the palace!" Bo Yunxiu strode away.

However, as soon as he walked into the courtyard, Bo Yunxiu paused again.

Huang Li was surprised, but he saw that the prince was slightly sideways, looking at Shen Zhi who was standing indifferently at the other end of the corridor, this kid had already gotten up, and had been waiting quietly in the corridor, I don't know if he was waiting to enter the Eastern Capital or waiting for Shen Muxi's news.

"Watch him!" Bo Yunxiu's eyes were slightly dark, "Don't let people touch him!" ”

"Yes!" Before leaving, he specially instructed his subordinates to protect Shen Zhi thoroughly, unless there was a warrant from the prince, no one could approach Shen Zhi, and those who violated the order would be punished for disobedience.

In the bustling eastern capital, because Bo Yunxiu didn't like publicity, the common people only saw the convoy and sergeants entering from outside the city, and they didn't know what was happening. When the team passed, they realized that His Royal Highness had returned to the court.

Lu Guizhou stood in the crowd, looking coldly at the team that was gradually moving away, and his face became more and more solemn. After withdrawing from the exit, he walked into a medicinal herb shop, and when he went to the second floor, the Zhishu beside him spoke, "Childe, I didn't see Shen Zhi." ”

"Xu is in the car." There was still a message from Shen Muxi in his sleeve, and he remembered those eight words clearly, "I came back from the king, Zhi'er was in his hands, but Xi'er didn't come back, which means that something happened on the way." ”

"But if something really happens, how can His Royal Highness leave Dr. Shen alone?" Zhishu poured a glass of water, put it in front of Lu Guizhou, and then closed the window again, "Childe, maybe things are not as complicated as you think!" ”

Lu Guizhou took out the note and carefully pondered the eight words on the paper, "Something must have happened!" I asked you to inquire about it, but did you understand? ”

"I inquired clearly, we entered the Eastern Capital with the side concubine who left the palace, and it was covered up very well before, and no one outside knew about it. But later, I left the palace and quietly looked for Dr. Liu, so I went to ask Dr. Liu, so I knew that the concubine was injured, and it was injured by a sharp weapon. Zhishu said in a low voice, "Childe, you said that the side concubine was injured, how could you dare to rush back to the Eastern Capital overnight?" I heard that when I returned to the palace, I only had one breath left. ”

Lu Guizhou frowned, "Injured by a sharp weapon?" ”

"Yes!" Zhishu nodded, "That's what Dr. Liu said. ”

"Who dares to hurt the concubine of the king and be maintained like this?" Lu Guizhou vaguely had an answer.

"I don't know." Zhishu scratched his head and paused, as if he remembered something, Zhishu hurriedly said, "By the way, Son, I still heard something, I don't know if it has something to do with Dr. Shen?" ”

Lu Guizhou was stunned, and turned to a sullen face, "What do you say, when did you become so spittering?" ”

"Oh!" Zhishu was reprimanded, puffed out his cheeks and said, "It is said that one night after Concubine Wei came back, someone in the palace went out of the city, as for who assigned it and where it was sent, no one knows." ”

"In the palace?" Lu Guizhou frowned, picked up the cup and moisturized his lips, "Who is going out?" ”

"I don't know who I went out of the city at night, and I didn't know who it was, and I didn't see it clearly, but it was definitely the guards in the palace." Zhishu likes to inquire about the news the most, and he always goes to the crowd to get together, because the news he hears is all fragmentary.

Lu Guizhou can only sort out his own clues, Wei Xian'er returned to leave the palace, and the palace guards traveled overnight, so at this time, Bo Yunxiu should be on the way back to the eastern capital with people, and he should not know that someone in the palace has left the city. If it's just business, it's okay, I'm afraid......

Zhishu is still chattering, in such a short period of time in the East Capital, what is delicious on East Street, what is fun on West Street, how old is Miao Zhu in the City God Temple in the south, and on the flower street in the north, who is the top girl, and how is the usual business, he has all figured out the bottom of the sky. Even the streets and alleys, the small things that sesame mung beans ordered, he can name a few things.

"I heard that this Concubine Wei is deeply loved by the Queen Mother, no, to be exact, it should be the child born to Concubine Wei, and she is deeply liked by the emperor and the Queen Mother." Behind Zhishu's one-handed back, like a storyteller, he said frothingly, "The emperor and the queen mother planned to make this child the prince of the palace as early as when Concubine Wei gave birth to the little son, but unfortunately the king did not say a word, so the matter was delayed. ”

Lu Guizhou put down the cup in his hand and listened to him.

Zhishu drank saliva, moistened his throat, and continued pretending to say, "The emperor has three thousand harems, and he has been on the throne for many years, and there are also people in the eastern capital who are quietly discussing, if this continues, the emperor can only pass from the side branches of the royal family, and now there are only two brothers left in the saint, one travels all over the world, and the other is in the court, that is the king!" ”

At this point, of course, it is the most clear, if the emperor wants to pass the son of his stepbrother as the heir to the throne, the only possibility is Bo Yu. Bo Yu is the only child from the palace and the only heir of the Bo family.

The dual identity is pressed down, and the people of the world naturally dare not underestimate Concubine Wei's mother and son. Although Wei Xian'er is a side concubine in her name, she has no wife from the king, and there is really not much difference between the side concubine and the main concubine.

Lu Guizhou sighed and stood up quietly, "You go to find Butang and let her come to see me immediately!" ”

"Has Xiaotang returned to the Eastern Capital?" Zhishu was stunned.

"Let you go, you will go!" Lu Guizhou's face was gloomy, "Just say that I have something to explain to her." ”

Zhishu pouted, "Can you not go?" ”

"What's the?" Lu Guizhou's voice was cold, "Something happened, can you afford it?" ”

Zhishu rolled his eyes, the dead girl was a shameless live loach, martial arts and temperament, every time she saw him, she always had to tease him, which made him feel stunned when he heard the word Butang, and his hairs stood on end.

Childe knew that he would send him to the door...... Zhishu feels chilling when he thinks about it.

Butang has a small courtyard in the east, the location is very remote, resting in the alley, if you don't come once, it must be difficult to find. Zhishu looked at the wooden door, his hand was raised several times and fell several times, and he didn't dare to knock on the door.

When it was over, Zhishu moved the stone in the corner of the wall and put it under his feet, climbed the low wall and looked inside, the yard was empty, there was no one, "There is no one in the yard, is it in the house?" Childe said that the person is back, but the incense burner at the door is still there! ”

Butang has a habit of always leaving the house with an incense burner at the door of the house, if the incense ash is poured, someone will break in. But in reality? Whoever enters the door and sees this incense burner at a glance, how can it be overturned!

Zhishu lay on the wall and muttered, then slowly lay down, stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door.

The door creaked open, but it was hidden.

Seeing this scene, Zhishu's back was cold, and he subconsciously looked around, but fortunately there was no movement. Taking a deep breath, he took a step inside, and finally entered the door, "I'm afraid that the news is wrong, Childe said that she is back, I will see...... Yes! ”

The piercing screams were accompanied by the whirlwind of the world in an instant.

The rope was wrapped around his ankle, and Zhishu was hung upside down at the door, and the blood in his whole body rushed to the door of his head, and he wanted to shout but couldn't shout, so he could only make a hoarse sound, "Ah...... Help me! Help me! ”

The delicate face suddenly appeared in Zhishu's sight, the young woman in green half-hunched her waist, tilted her head to look at Zhishu's embarrassed appearance, and her crisp laughter was very pleasant, "Yo, are you willing to come in?" I thought you were going to climb the wall! ”

The blood flowed backwards, Zhishu's face turned red, his body hung upside down at the door and kept swaying, and the whole person was about to faint to death, "Butang, you hurry, let me go, Childe is looking for you!" ”

Bu Tang straightened up, lit a candle at the end of the rope, and placed a stick of incense horizontally, "When the candle lights the incense, the incense burns to the rope, and you can come down!" With that, she dusted off her hands and swaggered away.

"Dead girl, you come back for me, and Childe will clean you up!" Zhishu wants to curl up, but he has never exercised, where can he get his ankles, he has to wait for the candle to light the incense, and the incense burns to the rope, I don't know how long!

In desperation, Zhishu could only take a breath and shout, "Someone's coming...... Help me...... Someone's coming...... Help......"

Bu Tang's feet were fast, and when he entered the pharmacy, he didn't even say hello and went straight to the second floor, pushed open the door, and Lu Guizhou was standing at the window, "The day you entered the Eastern Capital, I already knew that you were settled here." ”

She sat down unceremoniously, poured water and drank it to herself, "If it weren't for the difficult thing, you wouldn't have let Zhishu come to me, what is the matter?" ”

"Along the way to Lincheng, maybe she is on the way to the Eastern Capital." Lu Guizhou stood with his hands in his hands, "Help me, keep her safe!" Bu Tang's eyebrows frowned slightly, looking at Lu Guizhou who was standing against the light, he subconsciously clenched the cup in his hand, and was silent thoughtfully. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and her eyes suddenly turned cold, "Is she the person you are talking about?" ”

Lu Guizhou took a deep breath, "Yes!" ”

The moment the sound fell, the cup shook, and in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared.
