"But ......"

Lai Bao frowned, his face full of disapproval: "But His Royal Highness has already taken leave today, and I am afraid that the emperor and the queen will send someone to inquire after a while...... That kind of big thing happened again last night, Your Highness, hide it, I'm afraid you can't hide it......"

"It's a while to hide it!"

Chu Lingyu barely took a few breaths, then closed his eyes tiredly, waved his hand, signaled that he didn't want to continue the topic, and continued to ask: "Have you sent someone out to inquire about the palace maid in Jingyuan Palace?" If there is any news, you must report it as soon as possible, and you are not allowed to hide it, you know? ”

Laibao sighed and said respectfully: "Yes......"

After hesitating for a moment, Lai Bao knelt down again, and whispered in Chu Lingyu's ear: "His Royal Highness the Prince, in fact, the old slave still has something to ask for a favor......

"Don't be polite......"

Chu Lingyu coughed a few times, but still closed his eyes: "You have served the emperor for many years, and the emperor felt sorry for me, so he rewarded you, in the heart of this prince, you are like an elder, you have something to say!" ”

"The old slave doesn't dare!"

Hearing this, Laibao's eyes were full of excitement, he bowed to the worship, knelt on the ground and wept bitterly: "To be so valued by His Royal Highness the Prince, the old slave simply died without regrets!" It's just that a few days ago, there was news from outside the womb, saying that a distant nephew of the old slave had entered Beijing and wanted to come to see the old slave, so the old slave wanted to ask for a favor and wanted to live outside the palace for a few days, and by the way, take a look at the current appearance of this nephew......"

"Human nature, as it should be!"

Chu Lingyu took a few more breaths and said, "In this case, my father-in-law will go to live outside the palace for half a month, if there is anything that needs to be informed by the prince, my father-in-law will ...... just open his mouth."

"Old slave, thank you, Your Highness......"

His forehead rested on the ground, and he didn't get up for a long time.

That night, Laibao called Xiao Dezi, the most capable and stable little eunuch in the East Palace, to come to his room.

"I heard that my father-in-law is going to leave the palace tomorrow to live for a while, so I must have something to tell my servants tonight, right?"

Xiao Dezi glanced at Laibao, who had a deep face, his eyes rolled, and the expression on his face became a little serious.

"Not bad."

Laibao glanced at Xiao Dezi with relief and nodded slowly.

"Over the years, I have looked coldly, these people who are serving around Your Highness are the safest of you, so today, I want to entrust Your Highness to you......"

Hearing this, Xiao Dezi was stunned for a moment, and a moment of astonishment flashed in his eyes: "What does my father-in-law mean by this?" Your Highness, what's wrong with Your Highness? Why did you suddenly say such a thing, don't you plan to go back to the palace? ”

Lai Bao sighed heavily, looked at the beating lights not far away, and said in a low voice: "I have been serving in the palace since I was a child, and I have been in the palace for more than sixty years......

It seemed that the father-in-law's face was heavy, and Xiao Dezi thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has become weaker and weaker over the years, and every time I look at His Royal Highness's forbearant look, I always feel panicked in my heart......"

"The emperor's favorite is the prince, if the prince has three long and two short, presumably the first emperor in heaven will also be sad! The most important thing is the current situation, if the prince is here, everything will be fine, if the prince is ...... I'm afraid that not only our Li country, but the whole world will have a catastrophe! ”

Lai Bao said with tears in his eyes, and a pair of old hands pressed on the edge of the bed at once, wishing that he could die immediately, so as to alleviate the pain on His Royal Highness the Prince.

"What is my father-in-law going to do?"

It seemed that Bao was immersed in a sad atmosphere and couldn't extricate himself, Xiao Dezi pursed his lips and raised his eyes: "What is the father-in-law going to do?" ”

"Have you heard of the Medicine King Valley?"

After a moment of silence, Laibao spoke slowly.

Xiao Dezi's eyes widened: "Medicine King Valley? But, isn't that the place of legend? No one knows where the Medicine King Valley is located, and I heard that the valley owner of the Medicine King Valley is also very mysterious, doesn't my father-in-law want to find the Medicine King Valley?! ”

"Not bad!"

Lai Bao nodded with a serious face: "In today's world, the only person who can save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may be the Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley, no matter what, I want to go out and try it!" If we can find it and ask for the elixir of the valley master, our prince may still be saved! As long as the prince is in good health, even if he loses my old bones, he will not hesitate! ”

After saying this, Laibao's eyes seemed to be burning with a raging flame, which was full of high fighting spirit, but it was exchanged for burning his own life.

"Father-in-law......

Xiao Dezi's heart suddenly swelled with mixed tastes, and after being silent for a while, he raised his head firmly and said to Laibao: "Father-in-law, let's let the slave find it!" The servant swore that he would do his best to find the Valley of the Medicine King, and his father-in-law was old and should stay in the palace......"

"It's because I'm old and useless, so I'm going to look for it myself!"

Lai Bao waved his hand and interrupted Xiao Dezi's words: "Now that you are still young, you should stay by His Royal Highness the Prince's side, if I can't come back this time, you have to remember that you have to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with your life, even if I go to the Netherworld, I will miss your kindness!" ”

"Father-in-law!"

Xiao Dezi pursed his lips and saluted: "Please rest assured, the slave will swear allegiance to the prince and guard the prince, so as to wait for the father-in-law to return safely!" ”

"Hmm."

Laibao looked at Xiao Dezi kneeling in front of him with a relieved face, and sighed in his heart, which can be regarded as a matter of concern in the palace.

Yakuo Valley.

"Ahh

Xiaoyao, who was dispensing medicine, sneezed violently, blowing up the dregs in front of him.

"Outsiders have legends that the valley master of the Medicine King Valley is mysterious and unpredictable, and he is a master, if people know that you look sloppy like this, I think there are still a few people who respect you very much?"

A masked man sneered at the side, his eyes full of ridicule.

If Jing Yuan was here, he would definitely find that the person wearing the mask was none other than Mu Mingxuan.

"You care about me!"

Xiaoyao didn't raise his eyelids, and continued to twist the medicine in his hand: "What's wrong with sneezing?" Maybe someone is wishing me a long life! On the contrary, you are a guy who hides your face and never shows your true face, if it weren't for the fact that you saved me when I was a child, how could I have been friends with you for so many years? ”

It turned out that when Xiaoyao was a child, he once went out to play, and accidentally fell into a trap set by hunters in the forest, and his legs and feet were injured and he couldn't move, but fortunately, Mu Mingxuan passed by and rescued him, so it can be regarded as a life-saving grace.

Later, after a period of getting along, I felt more and more that the two could talk, so they simply made friends, even if they later became the valley master of the Medicine King Valley, the two were still as good as before.

It's just that for so many years, what has kept Xiaoyao haunted is the mask on Mu Mingxuan's face.

When he was a child, Mu Mingxuan had red lips and white teeth, his air was lofty, and his appearance was also first-class handsome.

But I don't know when I started wearing a mask all year round, and even now in front of me, I often wear it.

Now that he has said this, Xiaoyao's eyes rolled, and he took the opportunity to spit out all the "grievances" he had over the years: "Your face is obviously not bad, why are you wearing this Laoshzi mask?" It's not a big girl, even if she is looked at a few times, what's the matter? ”

Mu Mingxuan pulled the corners of his mouth, clasped his hands in front of his chest, leaned against the door, and stood without an image and said, "Why, just your Medicine King Valley can be mysterious, I can't?" I ...... my son"

"Who the hell are you?"

Coldly, Xiaoyao raised his head, his eyes were full of inquiry, and his eyes stared at Mu Mingxuan tightly, interrupting his words.

Mu Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, and then shrugged his shoulders with a smile: "You shouldn't be trying to make yourself stupid by testing medicine, right?" I'm Mu Mingxuan, don't I ......?"

"I mean, who is Mu Mingxuan? What is your true identity? ”

Xiaoyao didn't let it go at all, still pressing Mu Mingxuan.

There was a sudden silence in the air, and the two men looked at each other for a moment, then moved away, but a feeling called embarrassment seemed to spread through the air.

"Actually, I'm not trying to ask you what you mean."

Xiaoyao was the first to lose the battle and sighed: "I haven't asked for so many years, and I'm just talking about it today...... You and I have a fateful friendship, no matter who you are, the door of the Medicine King Valley will always be open to you! ”

"Now is not the time."

Mu Mingxuan also put away the banter in his eyes, raised his head, and looked out the window in a daze, only to feel that today's wind seemed to be blowing more violently than a few days ago.

"When the time comes, I will naturally tell you my true identity, Xiaoyao, if you have time, you should go to the rivers and lakes for a walk, you will lose a lot of fun if you are trapped in this Medicine King Valley all day."

Taking a deep breath and pursing his lips, Mu Mingxuan seemed to have suddenly become the unruly and prodigal Mu Mingxuan from before.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Xiaoyao snorted coldly, without lifting his eyelids: "Thank you for sending this thousand-year-old ginseng, I will refine the elixir well, maybe one day I can save your life!" I know you still have something to do, so let's go, and save yourself a day of noise in my ears! ”

It turned out that the thousand-year-old ginseng was still in Mu Mingxuan's hands, and before Jing Yuan saw Mu Mingxuan's injury, he only thought that he was defeated in the hands of several elders, but he never thought that those injuries were just the price he paid.

I just wanted to retort a few words casually, but Mu Mingxuan opened his mouth, and those words didn't come out after all.

"I'm leaving, take care."

Finally, after taking a deep look at Xiaoyao, Mu Mingxuan jumped in and disappeared in front of Xiaoyao.

The movements in Xiaoyao's hand stagnated slightly, paused, and then continued to pound the medicine casually, but in his heart, he was a little more contemplative.
