Chapter 209: Bleak Cold Palace

"Little doll, what the hell are you doing here?" A gray-haired old woman asked.

Gu Qingcheng flew down lightly, walked in front of the old woman, and said with a smile:

"My name is Gu Qingcheng, I just want to come in and see you, there is no malicious intent, please don't be afraid."

"This place is a hell on earth, if not hell, what is there to see?" The old woman pouted, "If you're not afraid of ghosts, just watch it, and leave after you're done!" ”

Gu Qingcheng looked at them, and they all seemed to be stinking.

Gu Qingcheng walked over, and after taking a closer look, he found that several of them had carbuncles on their bodies.

Some of the carbuncles were terribly crawling with disgusting maggots.

Carbuncle is a poisonous sore that occurs on the surface of the body and on the limbs.

Carbuncles occur in the muscles, are red, swollen and tall, and mostly belong to impotence.

Gangrene occurs on the bones, flat and dark in color, and mostly belongs to yin disease.

Gu Tingcheng carefully examined them all and found that not only did they have carbuncles, but other women also had different degrees of gynecological diseases and fever.

The women of the cold palace saw Gu Qingcheng inspecting them decently, and looked at her inexplicably one by one.

"Get out! Stinky girl, what's so nice! "A mother-in-law took her festering arm to drive Gu Allure.

Gu Tingcheng put a little on her shoulder, and the woman couldn't move because her upper limbs were paralyzed, and she looked at Gu Tingcheng in dismay.

The gray-haired old woman from before said again: "Little doll, we are all people waiting for death, what is there to see?" ”

"Old man, don't get me wrong, I just want to help you heal your body." Gu Qingcheng smiled softly.

A woman yelled in annoyance, "Get out of here...... Even if we wait for death, we don't want you to fake your kindness! ”

Feihong Feiyan saw that the county lord actually condescended to treat these stinky women, and they didn't seem to appreciate it, and both of them were full of anger.

Feiyan shouted angrily: "Our county lord is a living Guanyin who can come back to life, and the county lord's noble body is condescending to you to see your illness." You have cultivated for several lifetimes, and you still dare to speak wildly?! ”

"Living Guanyin? ......" The women began to stare at Gu Qingcheng in astonishment.

"Of course, even the imperial doctor asserted that the ancestor lacked the skill to return to heaven, but it was our county lord who rescued it with a skillful hand." Feiyan said proudly, "You say, isn't our county lord a living Guanyin?" ”

"Now Living Guanyin is kind enough to diagnose and treat you, but you don't know what to do!" Fei Hong also scolded.

Listening to Feihong Feiyan's scolding, those women slowly gathered around: "Is it really a living Guanyin?" ……”

Gu Qingcheng naturally didn't bother with these people, and hurriedly said to Feiyan: "Feiyan, you run fast, go back and help me get the medicine box." ”

"County Lord, is it possible that you really want to treat these people?" Feiyan looked at those stinky women and said with disgust.

Even Feihong Feiyan thought they stinked uncomfortably, how could this noble county lord endure it.

"The wounded and sick have no distinction between high and low, you go quickly! Carry both of those medicine boxes. Gu Tingcheng instructed again.

Gu Tingcheng's two medicine boxes contained a variety of different medicines.

"Okay." Before Feiyan left, he explained to Feihong, "You are optimistic about the county lord, don't let the county lord have any losses, I'll go and go back quickly!" ”

"I see." Fei Hong nodded.

The flying geese flew out of the cold palace, and met Li Yi on the way, he saw the flying geese flying out of the cold palace, thinking that something really happened to the city.

Stopped Feiyan and asked nervously: "Feiyan, is there something wrong with your county lord?" ”

"Deputy Commander Li, don't worry, it's my county lord who asked the slave maid to go back to get the medicine box and treat those women in the cold palace." Fei Yan said hurriedly.

Li Yi's heart was finally put down, and he frowned and asked, "Treat those people in the cold palace?" ”

"Yes, they all stink to death, and even the slaves and maids can't help but want to vomit." Feiyan shook his head and sighed, "It's hard to see the county lord in person, our county lord is really a veritable living Guanyin!" ”

After Feiyan finished speaking, he didn't care about Li Yi, and hurried to Yuxiu Palace.

Gu Tingcheng had a large handful of silver needles on her body anytime and anywhere, and she first drained the woman with carbuncle to squeeze out the pus and blood.

Softly said to them:

"These carbuncles on your body are caused by deep poison and evil spirits, cold condensation.

This has to do with the uncleanness of your daily life and the infection of the virus.

I'll release the poisonous blood for you first, and when the medicine comes, I'll give you the medicine.

In the future, you should pay attention to hygiene, keep it clean, and it will get better slowly. ”

"Is it going to be okay?" They were noncommittal.

didn't dare to have any big hopes, just show Gu Tingcheng.

Waiting for the opportunity for Feiyan to get medicine, Gu Tingcheng checked the pulse of other women, and she gave them needles for those women who were a little mentally disordered.

"You little girl, do you really know how to see a doctor?" The old mother-in-law looked at Gu Tingcheng, who was skillful and calm, and asked.

"Well," Gu Qingcheng smiled, "You all have different symptoms, most of them are caused by malnutrition, as well as unclean diet and environmental pollution.

I'll treat you first, and then you should pay attention to your diet and wash and change your daily life. ”

"Nonsense!" A woman snorted coldly, "I don't even eat three meals here, so why not pay attention to my diet!" ”

"That's it!" Someone else sneered, "Look at this ghost place, do we have the conditions to wash and change frequently?" ”

A middle-aged woman whose facial features could vaguely see the beauty of the year, said dejectedly: "They are all people who have been beaten into the cold palace and waiting for death, even if they are well, what hope is there to have!" ”

Gu Tingcheng was relieved: "This lady, as the saying goes, it is better to die than to live, if a person dies, he will become a pile of white bones and turn to dust." As long as you can live, it's better to live well. ”

"Humph! Survive? The woman lamented, "It's just a matter of suffering more sins to live." ”

Gu Qingcheng saw that they were already desperate for life, and there was no way to cheer them up for a while.

She took a look at Zichen Palace, which had a well.

Gu Tingcheng Road:

"The food here is definitely not satisfactory. Fortunately, there is water here, and cleanliness can be done.

Even if you are sent to the cold palace, at best you will lose your grace and your life will not be satisfactory.

But what if there are no men, many orphans and widows, who are more difficult than you, they are just as strong to live.

Just like those slaves of the defeated country at the beginning, they were humiliated, but now they are not free and can survive with dignity?

If one day, Your Majesty grants amnesty to the world, maybe you will also regain your freedom and get out of this cold palace. ”

The white-haired old woman listened to Gu Qingcheng's words and was shocked: "What did you say? Those prisoners of war slaves, all freed? ”

Gu Qingcheng nodded.

"Impossible! Prisoners of war were slaves, and this was the case with the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, how could they be given freedom. The old woman said angrily: "You little girl, you are lying to us!" ”

When Fei Hong heard the old woman's words, he couldn't help but say:

"How is it not true, now the people of Great Wei have already been abolished.

Not only did they have freedom, but they also granted them land, and even those homeless people had their own land. ”

"Oh my God, this ...... It's true? The women were babbling.

"Why isn't it true, all of this is what our county lord fought for them." Fei Hong and there is a way of honor.

"County Lord, are you really fighting for them?" The old woman looked at Gu Qingcheng with teary eyes.

"Well, Allure is just doing its best." Gu Qingcheng smiled faintly and bowed his head.

"County Lord, you are really a living Guanyin!" The old woman knelt in front of Gu Qingcheng and cried bitterly.

"Woman, get up quickly." Gu Tingcheng hurriedly helped the old woman up.

Gu Qingcheng said in his heart, this old woman's former family must have been destroyed, and there were people in the family who were slaves, so she felt so touched.

I didn't think much about the old woman's life experience, so I began to treat them.

As he spoke, the geese had returned, carrying two heavy medicine boxes on their backs.

Each medicine box in Gu Lingcheng has seven or eight layers, and each layer has many small grids.

It is specially made by Tuoba Jun to ask skilled craftsmen, and each layer is pulled out, and it is a dazzling array of small medicine cabinets.

Since the emperor knew that Gu Tingcheng had good medical skills, he asked the Imperial Medical Bureau to cooperate.

What medicine Gu Tingcheng needed and what medicine he wanted to make, he asked the Imperial Medical Bureau to help him.

Therefore, Gu Qingcheng's medicine box is full of everything, almost everything.

As soon as those women saw Gu Qingcheng's medicine box, they finally believed that the beautiful woman in front of them was a doctor.

Gu Tingcheng said to those women with carbuncles: "I have just drained the poisonous blood, and now I will give you Ruyi Golden Yellow Powder, and then take Erbao Dan to remove pus and decay." After a few days, the pus is exhausted, and then I will give you Shengjisan. ”

After she finished speaking, she applied medicine to their carbuncles and carefully bandaged them.

For other illnesses that needed to be decocted and taken, she prescribed another prescription and asked Feihong Feiyan to go to Liu Siyuan, the deputy hospital envoy, and send the decoction medicine over.

Feihong wanted to stay and protect Gu Tingcheng, and Gu Tingcheng told them to go with peace of mind, and she would not be in danger in the cold palace.

"After all, the hospital has limited manpower, you two will go and help boil the medicine, it will be faster." Gu Tingcheng explained.

In this way, Feihong Feiyan left uneasily.

"Lord Anping, we all stink like this, and even we dislike ourselves." A woman who suffered from carbuncle knelt in front of Gu Qingcheng and kowtowed, "It's rare that the county lord doesn't dislike it and heals us, you are really a living Guanyin!" ”

All the women who were suffering from carbuncle and pain were so uncomfortable that they drained the poisonous blood for her in Gu Tingcheng, and then applied medicine, and they felt much better all of a sudden.

They also knelt in front of Gu Qingcheng one by one, thanking them a thousand times. and brought well water to let Gu Qingcheng clean his hands.

"You're welcome, I'm just going to do it. Before I came here, I didn't know there were so many patients here. Gu Qingcheng smiled.

"County Lord, this is hell that even bulls and horses don't want to come, why do you want to come?" Someone asked, "Do you really want to pick osmanthus?" ”

“…… I wanted to come and pick some osmanthus flowers. Gu Qingcheng said.

"Picking osmanthus? Need to come to this hellish place? Another stunned said.

"There's no way, in the entire palace, only Zichen Palace has osmanthus." Gu Qingcheng said with a smile.

After a pause, he looked at the women in front of him and said, "Have you ever heard that more than 20 years ago, there was a noble man living in Zichen Palace, and she gave birth to a prince not long ago, and then it was rumored that this place was haunted, so she moved away. ”

There was a woman with her head and face wrapped in cloth and silk, and when she heard Gu Tingcheng's words, her whole person trembled, shrunk her body, and looked at Gu Tingcheng in horror.

"Hee-hee-hee...... Haunted? Aren't we all ghosts? The woman who looked beautiful before grinned and laughed desolately.

And the old woman said:

"It used to be so lively, and then it was haunted, we know it.

There are two courtyards on the left and right of Zichen Palace, which are Ningxiang Garden and Juxiang Garden, and the noble Lu who gave birth to the prince in Zichen Palace lived in the Ningxiang Garden on the left. ”

After the old woman finished speaking, she pointed to the courtyard on the left, and the mottled plaque on it vaguely saw the words Ningxiangyuan.

Gu Qingcheng stood up, looked at them, and asked, "Do any of you know that the noble people of Lu lived in the dormitory of Ning Xiang Yuan back then?" Can you show me there? ”

It is not strange to know that the noble Lu lives in the Zichen Palace, but if you know the noble Lu's bedroom, no one may know.

The slender woman just now, with her head and face wrapped in cloth, could not tell her age clearly.

Originally, he had been squatting on the ground, and after listening to Gu Qingcheng's words, the whole person seemed to be very entangled, and after a while, he slowly stood up.

Even if she stood up, she was bent up, her neck was shrunk, and her hands were inserted into the wide and worn cuffs, and the whole person looked very weird.

She looked at Gu Qingcheng strangely, and after a while, Fang said slowly: "I'll take you there." ”

Her voice was low and hoarse.

"Thank you then." Gu Tingcheng thanked her for her blessings.

Feihong and Feiyan both went to the Imperial Medical Bureau to help boil medicine, and Gu Qingcheng followed the woman to Ning Xiangyuan alone.

The woman's head and face were wrapped in cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes, with that gaze, Gu Qingcheng saw that she was not an old woman.

But he walks with a hunchback, looking old.

Gu Qingcheng was a little curious in his heart, and with the doctor's intuition, he knew that something must have happened to her body.

It's just that she didn't say it, and Gu Qingcheng didn't want to ask the reason for it all of a sudden.

So he gossiped with her: "This lady, what do you call it?" ”

The woman stopped, glanced at Gu Qingcheng, didn't know what the expression on her face was, and said coldly: "The slave is not a mother. ”

“…… So, what do you call it? Gu Tingcheng asked again.

"A person who is waiting for death, people are cheap, what is the use of a name!" The hoarse and strange voice continued.

When the woman stopped talking, her waist straightened a little, and her neck was not so atrophied.

At a glance, through the tattered clothes, you can see that below her neck, there are uneven, twisted and scald scars.

I don't know where the scars extend from the neck to the body.

Gu Qingcheng gasped, startled by the scars on her body.

I looked her up and down again, and through her tattered sleeves, I saw that her hands and even her arms were also ugly scars that had grown after being scalded by boiling water.

Those scars are shocking!

Gu Qingcheng's heart trembled fiercely, what kind of torture did this woman suffer.

She remembered that she had wanted to see her before, but the woman had been curled up and kept avoiding.

"Your scar—" Gu Qingcheng's eyes were moist, and he tentatively stretched out his hand to her.

Seeing that she didn't resist, she gently lifted the corner of her face covering cloth, and found that her face was also uneven scars.

She put down the cloth and said softly, "Can I help you take a look?" ”

"It's been scrapped for a long time, and it's useless to watch it, so I don't bother you!" The woman's hoarse voice said lightly, and she staggered forward.

A woman who is less than forty is like an old woman in her sixties and seventies.

Gu Qingcheng saw that her heart was like ashes, and he didn't ask deeply, and with a heavy heart, he followed her into Ning Xiangyuan.

A faint scent of osmanthus came to the face.

Zichen Palace has two courtyards, and Ning Xiang Yuan is one of them.

Ning Xiangyuan really planted a few osmanthus plants, the growth of osmanthus is slow, even if it is more than 20 years old, it will not grow into a towering tree.

Gu Tingcheng noticed that the heads of the laurel trees were piled up with high piles of mud.

After so many years of rain, there is still such a high mud pile, and I think that the mud pile should be even higher back then.

"The only place in the palace where there are osmanthus flowers should be here." Gu Qingcheng said in his heart.

“…… Do you really need osmanthus? The woman looked at Gu Qingcheng with a smile.

"Hehehe......" Gu Qingcheng looked at the few osmanthus flowers on the flower branches, and said with a dry smile: "Now is not the season when there are the most osmanthus flowers." ”

The man didn't say anything more, and led Gu Chengcheng into the cobweb-covered house.

Gu Qingcheng stretched out his hand and pulled the cobwebs, and the dust they shook up made them cough.

She led Gu Chengcheng into the door of a large room in the house, the expression on her face seemed to begin to distort, and her whole person was almost trembling.

After a while, she raised her chin inside, glanced at Gu Qingcheng again, and said coldly: "That's it, if you're not afraid of ghosts, go in." ”

"This was the haunted back then?" Although Gu Tingcheng had already prepared in his heart, he still asked with a hint of surprise.

"Not to mention here, the entire Zichen Palace is haunted." The man chirped and sneered,

The laughter is creepy and eerie.

She slowly turned around and staggered out, and at the same time said to herself: "What is a human and what is a ghost, I'm afraid even Lord Yama can't tell the difference." ”
