"Big brother, big brother, don't go!"

Outside the General's Mansion, Jiang Yun'er was wrapped in a red cotton jacket, her little face was slightly red, and she chased after the carriage and horses that were leaving.

Inside the car, Jiang Liunian's face was resolute.

Outside the mansion, a graceful beautiful woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, looked at the petite figure running towards the carriage, and felt sad and funny for a while.

Ever since she knew that Jiang Liunian was going to the capital, Jiang Yun'er circled around the woman all day long, and she couldn't stop thinking that she wanted to go to the capital to study with Jiang Liunian.

If there are children like this, what more can a husband ask for?

The servants who came to see them off looked at this scene with emotion.

"The relationship between the young master and the young lady is really good."

"Yes, yes, it's a pity that the young master is destined to enter Beijing."

"Miss, so pitiful."

……

Jiang Liunian poked his head out of the car window and persuaded Jiang Yun'er, who was chasing after the back of the car: "Little sister, go back, stop chasing!" ”

"Big brother, don't go!" Jiang Yun'er was teary-eyed and angry: "I haven't gotten in the car yet!" ”

Jiang Liunian sat back in the car and said to the groom who was driving the car: "Coachman, hurry up, don't let her catch up!" ”

"Young Master, is this really good?"

"Are you questioning me?"

"Don't dare."

The frequency of the horse's hooves increased, and the galloping carriage kicked up a puff of smoke and dust, drowning out the red figure in pursuit.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Jiang Yun'er stopped, looking at the cars and horses that were gradually moving away until they completely disappeared from sight, she stomped her feet in annoyance.

"Hmph, don't come back if you go!"

She made a horn with her hand and shouted, "I will always find a way to go to the capital!" ”

Outside the Liangdu City, Jiang Liunian asked the coachman to stop.

After getting out of the carriage, he turned to look at the frost-white city walls, where the deep winter was gone, and the snow was silent.

Standing still and waiting for a while, a familiar black figure walked out of the city gate.

When Qin Fan went out of the city gate, he saw Jiang Liunian waiting in the distance, and came to him in stride, sorry: "I've kept you waiting." ”

Jiang Liunian smiled faintly: "No, I just arrived, where does Brother Qin want to go?" ”

Qin Fan said: "Anyway, let's go south first, and then talk about it when we get to Biandu, I heard that there has been a plague over there recently?" ”

Jiang Liunian pulled Qin Fan into the car, sat in the car, and said slowly: "It is said to be the plague, and the local government discovered it in time and controlled the source. ”

Qin Fan asked, "Is it reliable?" ”

Jiang Liunian thought for a while and replied, "Haven't there been many local officials in the DPRK and China who have recommended themselves to the court recently? In this kind of good time for promotion and fortune, local officials do not dare to make any big mistakes, and there should be no problem. ”

◇——◇

Capital, Cining Palace.

Xiao Wan'er was lying on the bed, she was thin, her face was haggard, her eyes were dark, and her lips were pale.

There was not a trace of blood on his pale face, and his slender eyebrows were wrinkled together, as if he was having a nightmare.

On the side, the white-haired imperial doctor was taking Xiao Wan'er's pulse, his brows furrowed together, and his face was puzzled.

The palace maid asked anxiously: "Imperial Doctor, what happened to the Queen Mother, why is she more and more haggard every day?" ”

"Does the Queen Mother have to take medicine on time every day?"

"Yes, I take my medicine on time every day!"

"What about today?"

"Where is it?" The palace maid handed over the decoction, "The queen mother collapsed without a few sips." ”

The imperial doctor took the decoction and sniffed it, and his index finger probed into the decoction and dipped it into his mouth.

The imperial doctor frowned: "The Empress Dowager is a lack of qi and blood, delicate and weak, this decoction contains twenty-four flavors of blood and qi medicinal materials, the Empress Dowager has been drinking it for more than ten years, no problem." ”

"But no matter how you look at it now, the Queen Mother doesn't look like it's no problem!" The palace maid said: "Obviously I was fine a few days ago, but today I suddenly feel a lot haggard." ”

"The old man is incompetent, I really can't find out the cause of the Queen Mother's ......" The imperial doctor shook his head helplessly, and when the palace maid was about to despair, he said slowly: "Now the only people in the capital who can save the Queen Mother are immortals, and the Mo immortals will definitely be able to see what I, a mortal, can't see." ”

"Ink Immortals?" The palace maid was stunned, "Is it the white-clothed immortal who appeared at the tea party?" ’

The palace maid's face was happy, but it dimmed in an instant, and she was a little palace maid who had no channel to meet the immortals, and if she wanted to see the immortals, she had to pass through the Taoist hall.

If you can't get by, you can't even think about it, right?

The palace maid was discouraged, and it was pitiful to think that the queen mother was also pitiful, and now she was sick in bed, and no one came to visit, and the only one who came was the imperial doctor who was called.

If the emperor could care a little more, he wouldn't be terminally ill now and couldn't find the reason.

Maybe even if the Queen Mother dies of illness in the deep palace, it won't cause any splash in the court.

After all, the surname Xiao has long been buried by time.

The imperial physician seemed to understand what the palace maid was thinking, brushed his beard, and said faintly: "It is difficult for ordinary people to see immortals, but it is not impossible. ”

The palace maid was surprised: "What way?" ”

The Imperial Physician stood up, "You can go to Lord Zhao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he should be able to help the Queen Mother." ”

……

Zhao Mansion, after going to the morning court, Zhao Qingsong returned to the bedroom and fell asleep.

The weather is cold and the age is old, so you have to take care of your spirits so as not to fall into the root of the disease.

After catching up on sleep, Zhao Qingsong came to the study and sat at the desk looking at the text.

The first emperor cultivated immortals and sought the Tao, and the imperial examination was abandoned for more than ten years, and now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is time to reopen the imperial examination to recruit talents.

Zhao Qingsong was about to grind, and the servant walked in and said to him: "Master, there is a woman outside, who claims to be the maid of the Queen Mother, saying that she has an urgent matter. ”

Dowager?

Zhao Qing was stunned for a while, speaking of the Queen Mother, he went to the Stargazing Tower a few days ago and emphasized some rules with Mo Bai, including not being able to enter and exit the Queen Mother's residence Cining Palace.

He didn't know what Mo Bai was doing in Cining Palace, and he couldn't know that some things were known to others, and he might not be able to hide them.

After coming back to his senses, Zhao Qingsong said slowly: "Take her to the front hall and wait." ”

……

Front office.

He Xiaocui, who was dressed in civilian clothes, knelt on the ground as soon as he saw Zhao Qingsong, "Lord Shangshu, please save the Queen Mother!" ”

Zhao Qingsong was stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly stepped forward to help: "What do you mean, girl, we have something to say." ”

Helping He Xiaocui to sit down, Zhao Qingsong sat down on the Taishi chair on the side, and smiled kindly: "This girl, what's your name?" ”

"Slave He Xiaocui, it's good for Lord Shangshu to call me Xiaocui." The corners of He Xiaocui's eyes were slightly red, and her eyes were full of tears, "Lord Shangshu, please save the Queen Mother, you are the only one in the capital who can save the Queen Mother." ”

"I'm not that powerful." Zhao Qingsong waved his hand and laughed: "Little Cui girl, you always have to tell me the ins and outs of the matter, right?" ”

He Xiaocui's tone was condensed, and after a while, her face suddenly became resolute.

"The next words may be a bit of a contradiction, but I must say it.

The Queen Mother fell ill, and the doctors in the hospital couldn't find out the cause.

The emperor ignored the Queen Mother, and no one in the court dared to touch the Xiao family. ”

"Of course, it doesn't include you, Lord Zhao!"

He Xiaocui said straightforwardly: "Lord Zhao, you are an upright person, different from them, I believe you will be willing to help the Queen Mother!" ”

Has my fame spread in the capital?

Zhao Qingsong's old face was slightly red, and he understood that He Xiaocui was just touting himself, so he hurriedly shook his head: "Miss Xiaocui, I am just an ordinary scholar, not as noble as you say." ”

He smiled and continued, "If you have anything to say, just say it, you don't need to praise me like this." ”

He Xiaocui's complexion changed for a moment, she stood up and knelt in front of Zhao Qingsong again: "Lord Zhao, I heard that you and the immortals are from the same place, slaves and maids, please go and ask the immortals to heal the Queen Mother." ”

Zhao Qingsong looked at He Xiaocui, his face was slightly condensed, and asked, "Who told you that I can invite immortals?" ”

He Xiaocui replied honestly: "The imperial doctor told me." ”

Tai Doctor?

Zhao Qingsong knew in his heart that the imperial doctor didn't know that he and Mo Bai were from the same place, and it was obvious that someone was arranging it behind his back.

As for who it is, it's nothing more than two candidates.

And what He Xiaocui just said, it is estimated that someone has taught it well.

Zhao Qingsong looked at He Xiaocui seriously.

"You didn't long be transferred to the Queen Mother's side, right?"

"Yes."

"Is it worth it for the sake of a person who is outside the body when the children are outside, kneeling to the heavens and kneeling to the parents?"

"The slave just did what she had to do."

"Really?" Zhao Qingsong smiled lightly, "Miss Xiaocui is so upright, it impresses me." ”

"Huh?" He Xiaocui's cheeks were slightly red.

Zhao Qingsong said: "Get up, I can't stand you kneeling like this, I helped with this matter, but let's say it first, I can't guarantee that I will be able to invite immortals." ”

He Xiaocui was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, Lord Zhao!" ”

……

In Cining Palace, He Xiaocui happily led the way in front, and behind him, Zhao Qingsong and the white-clothed man with a mask followed side by side.

Zhao Qingsong skimmed his eyes, and now He Xiaocui's eyes were really full of gratitude and admiration, which made him a little embarrassed.

He didn't expect it himself.

In three sentences, Mo Bai agreed to follow into the palace.

Mo Bai tilted his head to look at Zhao Qingsong.

Zhao Qingsong retracted his eyes lightly, and when he entered the palace, he found that a eunuch hurriedly ran in the direction of the cabinet.

He became a tool man who called Mo Bai, which made Zhao Qingsong a little uncomfortable.

Following He Xiaocui to the house, Zhao Qingsong stood aside with a surprised expression.

In the blue curtain, the beautiful woman lying in bed had thin cheeks and a disastrous complexion, as if the oil was running out and the lamp was about to come to an end.

The last time Zhao Qingsong saw the Empress Dowager was at the Chinese New Year's Eve tea party, when the Empress Dowager looked quite healthy, but she didn't expect that the Empress Dowager would be sick in bed in less than half a month, and it seemed that her life would not be long.

He Xiaocui stepped forward to lift the curtain, then looked at Mo Bai and prayed: "National teacher, please save the Queen Mother." ”

Mo Bai tilted his head, when he first entered Cining Palace, he smelled a fishy smell of blood, and now that Xiao Wan'er was in front of him, the fishy smell was even stronger, and there was a kind of rotten smell.

From tantalizing delicacy to a spoiled taste like garbage, only a month has passed?

…… It is very much in line with the length of time food spoils in winter.

Zhao Qingsong asked, "Master Mo, do you see anything?" What disease did the Queen Mother have? ”

'Sick?' Mo Bai pondered, she didn't know if Xiao Wan'er was sick or not, in Mo Bai's opinion, Xiao Wan'er's body functions were normal, but she didn't have energy, so she kept it at the lowest operating state.

What made Mo Bai find interesting, he saw a small white worm in Xiao Wan'er's heart.

The little white worm hid in Xiao Wan'er's heart, sucking Xiao Wan'er's heart's blood.

Why didn't I see it the first few times?

Mo Bai was very puzzled.

He stepped forward and lifted the futon.

"Mo Gongzi!"

Zhao Qingsong's face was embarrassed, he raised his hand to block his sight, and he coughed dryly to remind Mo Bai to pay attention to the rules.

Mo Bai was stunned for a while, stepped aside and turned his head to look at He Xiaocui, and said slowly: "Clothes, lift them off." ”

"What?" He Xiaocui was dumbfounded.

The corners of Zhao Qingsong's mouth twitched, and he coughed dryly: "I'll go out first!" ”

He Xiaocui looked at Zhao Qingsong, who was leaving quickly, and couldn't figure out the situation for a while.

Mo Bai pointed to Xiao Wan'er's chest and said again: "Clothes, lift them up." ”

He Xiaocui's cheeks were blushing, she lowered her head and secretly confessed her sins in her heart, and untied Xiao Wan'er's underwear according to Mo Bai's instructions.

The dark belly pocket embroidered with the golden phoenix pattern is full and smooth, and the slight ups and downs prove that Xiao Wan'er is still alive.

Mo Bai stared at the golden phoenix pattern for a while, and then pointed to the dark belly pocket.

He Xiaocui was embarrassed, waved her hand and said, "No, you can't take off your clothes anymore!" ”

Mo Bai tilted his head.

He Xiaocui was terrified in her heart, the life and innocence of the Queen Mother, no matter which she could not afford.

And even if she saves her life and loses her innocence, what is the difference between the Queen Mother and death?

Mo Bai glanced at Xiao Wan'er on the bed, and waved He Xiaocui out.

He Xiaocui sat in the courtyard suddenly, his face sluggish: "I...... How did it come out? ”

Zhao Qingsong stepped forward to help: "Little Cui girl, why did you come out?" Hurry up, it's cold on the ground, be careful of the cold. ”

He Xiaocui's face was slightly red, she stood up and thanked her, she was relieved in her heart, and looked at the room with complicated eyes.

Zhao Qingsong said with relief: "Miss Xiaocui, don't worry, Master Mo will definitely cure the Queen Mother." ”

“…… Well. ”

In the house, there was no slow-moving, hesitant guy, Mo Bai got started by himself, opened his underwear, and found the tie of his belly pocket to untie it.

The belly pocket in his hand is embroidered with a golden phoenix pattern, which is still warm, with Xiao Wan'er's body temperature.

"Ha ......" Mo Bai tilted his head and covered half of his body for Xiao Wan'er, and had to admit that the puppet dragon man was world-class in terms of snow dumplings.

Mo Bai stretched out his hand, his fingertips blurred when he touched Xiao Wan'er's snow-white skin, pinched the little insect, and tried to twist it out.

"Hmm......" The sleepy Xiao Wan'er snorted, her eyebrows furrowed together, looking very painful.

Sensing that Xiao Wan'er's qi was almost cut off, and her vitality was passing quickly, Mo Bai hurriedly let go of the little worm.

After letting go of the little worm, Xiao Wan'er's complexion obviously turned a lot, and her pulse was weak but stable.

"Hmm......" Mo Bai took off his mask and stared at the little white worm in Xiao Wan'er's heart, his face was difficult and he didn't know what to do.

The problem must be with this little white worm, Xiao Wan'er now looks weak and haggard, half-dead, all because this little white worm is devouring her vitality little by little.

Mo Bai couldn't figure out what this thing was, and just now he tried to violently get rid of it and almost sent Xiao Wan'er away.

"Ha ......" suddenly missed Luo Encyclopedia Qingyao very much.

Although there is no way to get rid of the little white worm, Mo Bai can still do it to save Xiao Wan'er's life for the time being.

Biting his fingers, Mo Bai squeezed out a little blood and dripped it on Xiao Wan'er's lips, and the bright red blood seemed to have life, squirming into Xiao Wan'er's mouth.

Blood droplets entered the body, and Xiao Wan'er's complexion visibly improved with the naked eye, her complexion was ruddy and full of vitality.

The inky white fingertips glowed with starlight, and with a light touch on Xiao Wan'er's heart, he suppressed the little white worm and prevented it from continuing to devour Xiao Wan'er's vitality.

After everything was done, Xiao Wan'er's breath returned to normal, and Mo Bai put on a mask and exited the room.

In the courtyard, Zhao Qingsong and He Xiaocui waited for a long time to see Mo Bai come out, and surrounded him and asked, "Master Mo/National Teacher, how is the Queen Mother?" ”

Mo Bai shook his head.

He Xiaocui's face turned pale.

Zhao Qingsong's eyes were stunned.

Mo Bai said slowly: "I can't die." ”

He Xiaocui's face was excited, and her eyes lit up with gratitude.

Zhao Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief: "Young Master Mo, you scared me to death." ”

Mo Bai said again: "I won't live long." ”

He Xiaocui's heart skipped half a beat, her little face was bloodless, and she shouted "Queen Mother" in her mouth, and the pear blossom rushed into the house with rain.

Zhao Qingsong's mouth was half-open, his face was stiff, and he stared at Mo Bai in disbelief: "Can't you save it?" ”

"I don't know," Mo Bai shook his head, "Method, I'm thinking about it." ”
