Ming Xiu seemed to feel something, he lowered his head and looked at Chu Nian intently, and when Chu Nian raised his head, he quickly withdrew his gaze.

Chu Nian frowned, "What's the matter?" ”

"When he came the day before yesterday, he was poisoned by the god of medicine, and he knelt in the courtyard for three days and three nights.

Ming Xiu was absent-minded, his hands behind his back, his gaze drifted away, and his face was indulgent as usual.

When the words fell, Chu Nian breathed a long sigh of relief, and then saw Ming Xiu continue: "It's okay, it's just that I fainted, and now that I'm being taken care of by the Medicine King, it is estimated that I will be able to wake up tomorrow." ”

Chu Nian nodded lightly, "Hmm." ”

As the sound of this word fell, the mourning hall fell into a deathly silence again, Ming Xiu's eyes fell on the flickering candlelight on the side, and his voice was a little softer, "If you are tired, I will go and tell the god of medicine, and I will kneel here." ”

"I'm not tired." Chu Nian shook his head and said, "It's you, why do you want to accept the punishment of the God of Medicine for me?" ”

Ming Xiu pursed his thin lips and didn't speak, for a long time, he said softly: "Actually, I just went to the Medicine King to see it for me, and I was not poisoned." ”

Chu Nian frowned, Ming Xiu was not poisoned? Why is the god of healing......

"He might just be scaring you." Ming Xiu looked away, "The god of medicine is not as cold as it seems, but he lost his daughter, so he is just a little sad." ”

Chu Nian naturally understands the feelings of the god of medicine, since she lost everything in her previous life, she has always empathized with the feelings of the god of medicine.

When Ming Xiu's words fell, he saw that Chu Nian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, nodded lightly and said, "Well, that's great." ”

Fortunately, her sins didn't go any further.

The moonlight shone in through the open door, and the two men remained relatively silent until dawn.

On the second day, the medicine king came to call Chu Nian, the god of medicine no longer blamed Chu Nian, so that Chu Nian did not need to kneel down anymore, Chu Nian was surprised by the generosity of the god of medicine, but she also felt a little strange, but what was strange, she couldn't say clearly.

It was already noon when I saw Tao Jinyan, and the man was lying on the bed eating fruit, and Wu Liang on the side served him tea and water with a gloomy face, and he accepted it with confidence.

Seeing this scene, Chu Nian's hanging heart was put down, and he stepped forward helplessly: "Are you okay?" If you're well, get up quickly, and it's time for us to go back to Beijing. ”

Tao Jinyan looked up sullenly at Chu Nian and Ming Xiu who was following behind Chu Nian, and said with a look of disgust: "So fast, besides, why did my guards run to you?" ”

Ming Xiu's face sank, and the brothers Li Le and Wu Liang, who were watching the excitement on the side, couldn't help but laugh, Chu Nian couldn't help but laugh, and told her what happened in the barbarian realm, and the atmosphere in the room became serious.

Tao Jinyan on the couch obviously didn't look good, he frowned and said, "Dark Rin actually knows you better than me?" ”

Chu Nian frowned, didn't speak, and saw Ming Xiu on the side slowly sit down beside her, and said with a cold face: "Now that he has run away, I'm afraid that he won't give up, I knew that this was the case, and we should have caught him first." ”

"That's ......" Tao Jinyan raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Nian cautiously, "It's very troublesome, by the way, your icy water clothes ......"

Ming Xiu looked sideways, and saw Tao Jinyan rubbing his hands with anticipation, "I've heard about this national treasure of Xichu for a long time, but I haven't seen what this thing looks like, do you want to take it off and lend it to me to wear it on?" ”

The originally serious atmosphere was broken in an instant with Tao Jinyan's heart, Chu Nian looked at Tao Jinyan with a smile, and Ming Xiu's face became more and more gloomy, he looked at Tao Jinyan for a while, and then said in a cold voice: "No, after returning to Beijing, I have to go to Xichu to send this clothes over, and it will not be too late for you to look at it again." ”

"You still want to go to Xichu?" Chu Nian grasped the point in Ming Xiu's words, and said with a frown.

Ming Xiu nodded affirmatively, his tone was a little vaguely relaxed, and he seemed to be in a good mood, "When I go back to Beijing to deal with the affairs of Huaibei, I will leave immediately, and I will be back soon." ”

Chu Nian lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, and at this time, there was a quarrel between the God of Medicine and the King of Medicine outside the door.

"I can tolerate him staying here to recuperate from my injuries is enough to give you face, now that his injuries have healed, Chu Nian is also here, why are you still staying with me?"

"Lao Bai, you ......"

"Don't talk to me, hurry up and get out of here with your so-called benefactor and your two unsuccessful apprentices!"

"Lao Bai, aren't you going with us?"

"Fart! Lao Tzu himself is comfortable here, why go out and make trouble with you? ”

"The ...... of the Medicine King Valley"

"If you want to revive the Valley of the Medicine King, fuck off! Revive yourself, revive yourself! Lao Tzu is used to being calm, don't drag Lao Tzu to make trouble with you! ”

"Hey, Lao Bai, Lao Bai!"

A rush of footsteps was far away, and when the door of Chu Nian's room was pushed open, what caught his eye was a disgraced medicine king.

At this moment, the old man's beard was shaking, obviously angry, but he was also helpless, he frowned and swept his eyes over the young people who were staring at him, and suddenly felt faceless, so he turned around with an old face and went to pack his luggage.

"You all heard it, the old stubborn donkey told us to get out."

Everyone couldn't help laughing, but they also had to sigh in their hearts The combat power of the god of medicine, who can scold the medicine king of the fairy wind and bones like this on weekdays, the god of medicine is also the only one in this world.

Wu Liang sighed silently, "If my master is here, I may be able to cure Uncle Bai, but my master is long gone, and now the Medicine King alone may not be able to take him out of this deep mountain." ”

The Medicine King pretended not to hear Wu Liang's words, and the room of people felt embarrassed when they heard it, Chu Nian and Ming Xiu Tao Jinyan glanced at each other, Tao Jinyan didn't dare to be poor in the end, got up honestly, and packed up his things.

Due to the power of the god of medicine, in the evening, Chu Nian and the others had already moved, without saying anything all the way, and returned to the capital, Chu Nian took the master and apprentice of the Medicine King Valley into the Chu family, and Tao Jinyan also said that the Hu Tao Tavern had some important matters to deal with, so he left, and Ming Xiu left the four secret guards behind and returned to the palace alone.

On the second day, Chu Nian received a summons from the Queen Mother.

This is the first time I have seen the Queen Mother in a long time, and the Queen Mother at this time looks the same as before, but it seems to be a little older, and the original gray hair and temples have all turned silver at this moment.

The old face was still crawling with wrinkles that couldn't be covered by rouge and gouache, and a pair of old eyes seemed to be gradually becoming dull.

Seeing Chu Nian saluting, the Queen Mother raised her hand a little tiredly, "No courtesy, flat body." ”

Chu Nian half-lowered his eyes, "Empress Dowager Xie." ”

The grandmother on the side sat down for Chu Nian, and when Chu Nian sat down, he saw the Queen Mother waving and said, "Nian'er, try it, this is the newly arrived Biluochun, which was only transported back from Huainan a few days ago." ”

Chu Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up the tea cup on the side, put it between his nose and sniffed it, raised his eyes, and smiled politely, "It's the best Biluochun, and the prince of Huainan is really good at the queen mother." ”

As soon as these words came out, the queen mother's hand holding the teacup paused in mid-air, and the grandmother on the side hurriedly stepped forward to wipe the water droplets that overflowed the teacup, and it took a long time before the queen mother said calmly: "This is not sent by the king of Huainan." ”

Chu Nian raised her eyebrows slightly, she also felt that the King of Huainan would not deliberately come to cater to the Queen Mother, if you want to say that this Biluochun was sent by Huainan, it must also be the Princess of Huainan - Chu Nian suddenly remembered Xiaolan, who she hadn't seen for a long time, and thought that she should have given birth a long time ago, but at this time, there was no news from the Huainan Palace, and as Mrs. Lan's friend, she should also go to visit.

But there is more important work to be done right now.

Chu Nian frowned, took out a stack of letters from his arms with a serious face, and turned to look at the Queen Mother meaningfully: "Queen Mother, I have found some interesting things here, you see, are these enough for the Master of Change and his apprentices to buy a mansion outside the palace?" ”

Finally got to the point, the Queen Mother frowned without a trace, waved her hand lightly, and the grandmother on the side walked down from the top with small steps, took the yellowed letter paper in Chu Nian's hand, and immediately sent it to the Queen Mother's hand.

The Queen Mother stared at it for a while, her face turned pale, and at this moment she naturally understood that since Chu Nian could come back so confidently, there was no way to hide the matter between the Wang family and Prince Lu, and the most important thing at the moment was to remove the Wang family from this matter.

Seeing that the Queen Mother never spoke, Chu Nian was not in a hurry, she picked up the teacup and took a sip, she frowned slightly, and after putting down the teacup, she never picked it up again.

After a long time, the Queen Mother put down the yellowed letter in her hand, looked at Chu Nian condescendingly, and said, "Nian'er, are you only going to get these things?" ”

Chu Nian pretended not to know the contents of the letter, but just smiled lightly and said: "Not only that, in short, the courtiers have found evidence that Prince Lu collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and there is also evidence of the local officials' oppression of the people, it is estimated that the things that the courtiers got are enough to trouble the court for a while." ”

Tomorrow, she will use the hand of the crown prince Mingxiu to make the joint letter full of people's names public in the court, and on the Huaibei side, there are also people under Tao Jinyan who have sent the news that Prince Lu has been captured, and when they come back, they will also bring Prince Lu back by the way.

And Mu Qing also followed them.

These days, Chu Nian has been busy with his own affairs and ignored Mu Qing, and when the Medicine King mentioned it, Chu Nian knew that Mu Qing had been following the Medicine King, except for Chu Yuanlang when they were about to return to the border pass, Mu Qing disappeared for a while, and the rest of the time, Mu Qing had been mixing with the people in the martial arts.

As long as Mu Qing is fine, Chu Nian doesn't need to take care of everything.

At this point, the Empress Dowager nodded lightly and said, "The mourning family knows, it's so good, you share the emperor's worries." ”

Chu Nian laughed lightly, suddenly remembered something, looked around for a while, and then turned to look at the Queen Mother meaningfully and said, "Niangniang, didn't the deputy national teacher come back?" ”

At the mention of dark Rin, the Queen Mother's face suddenly stiffened, and she coughed lightly as if to hide her embarrassment, "You...... Have you met the deputy national teacher? ”

Looking at the Queen Mother who was pretending to be stupid, Chu Nian nodded as a matter of course, and then looked at the Queen Mother meaningfully and said: "That's natural, and the courtiers didn't expect that the Deputy National Teacher would be so concerned about the affairs of Huaibei." ”
