Volume I, Chapter 13
"Childe, why are you?" A puzzled voice sounded, Xuan Yi turned around, and saw the little brother who bumped into him before, but there was an old man next to him, it seemed that it should be the doctor he had invited.
Before Xuan Yi could answer, the door of the Xue Mansion creaked open.
"Hey, I said Xue Cai, why did you come back, did the doctor have arrived?" A man in his forties and fifties came out of the door.
"Butler, the doctor has arrived... Xue Cai replied while pointing to the doctor beside him.
"Then don't bring the doctor in, the master is waiting." The butler urged.
The three of them hurriedly walked towards the gate of the Xue Mansion, Xuan Yi on the side wanted to say something, but no one had time to take care of him, he was stunned for a moment, and then followed them into the mansion.
A faint scent of sandalwood fills the room, and flecks of sunlight shine in the hollowed-out carved cypresses. At the very back of the room lay a soft wooden bed, on which lay a frail old man, moaning weakly. A woman in her fifties stood hunched over beside the bed, holding a white handkerchief in her hand, wiping tears from her face from time to time.
The doctor is checking the pulse of the old man in bed. After a moment, he gently put the old man's hand back and glanced at the woman next to him. The woman understood, drew the bedding, and lifted the curtain and came out.
"Doctor, my lord... Madame asked worriedly.
The doctor shook his head heavily, and said: Mrs. Xue, forgive me for being incompetent, Master Xue's heart meridian is blocked, and his heart is insufficient, I am afraid that he will not be able to return to heaven.
Mrs. Xue burst into tears for a while, and asked in a tight voice: Is there no other way?
The doctor pondered for a moment, for the sake of it: There is a pill in the world that can cure Master Lin's illness, it is called Danxin Pill, but this kind of pill is extremely precious, only in the palace, even if it is a high-ranking official and noble, it may not be obtained, not to mention us ordinary people.
"This..." Mrs. Xue coughed violently suddenly, her face turned red, and the maids on the left and right hurriedly stroked her back. After a while, she gradually calmed down her cough and choked up: How is this good?
"I have a way to get this pill."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Xuan Yi standing aside, speaking lightly.
Mrs. Lin asked suspiciously: Are you?
"This son, why did you come in with you?" Xue Cai was also puzzled.
Xuanyi smiled slightly, and said slowly: In Xia Ge Xuanyi, it is a friend that Ling Gongzi met outside.
Mrs. Xue looked at him carefully, and said suspiciously: Just now you said that you could get the Dan Heart Pill?
Xuan Yi nodded with a smile and said: Don't hide it from Madame, there is a relative who works in the palace on an errand in the palace, and it just happens to be highly used by the emperor, so it shouldn't be difficult to get this Danxin pill.
As soon as Mrs. Lin heard that her master's life was saved, she was very surprised, and said respectfully: "Master Ge, it's rude, please go to the hall to talk about it."
After Xuan Yi followed Mrs. Xue to the hall and sat down, Mrs. Xue couldn't wait to ask: Ge Gongzi just said that he was a friend of the dog, why haven't I heard him mention it?
Xuan Yi chuckled: Maybe Xue Gongzi has made too many friends and forgot about my friend.
Mrs. Xue shook her head: Impossible, how could a person as noble as Gongzi Ge forget.
Xuan Yi habitually brushed the hair on his chest, and laughed loudly: Mrs. Xue has won the award, okay, let's not talk about it for now. I heard that Xue Gongzi stabbed his future father-in-law to death, so he was sentenced to behead after the autumn, what is going on?
When Mrs. Xue heard Xuan Yi mention this, her expression was sad, and she choked up and said: It's really abused, you said that our Xue family has been kind people for generations, especially Xue Yu, he has been helpful since he was a child, and when he saw that he had to do things peacefully, how big he was, he was not even willing to step on an ant to death, how could he kill someone, or his father-in-law.
Xuan Yi nodded thoughtfully, and said in a deep voice: Mrs. Xue, can you tell Ge the ins and outs of the matter.
Mrs. Xue sighed and said slowly: Our Xue family and the Lin family are world friends, and my family and the Lin family are even closer to each other. But just a month ago, Lin Xiao, the second young master of the Lin family, suddenly came to the house to make trouble, saying that Lin Xian'er was going to participate in the draft and let us quit our relatives. But this Lin Xiao did not give up, and instigated his subordinates to come to the mansion for three days and two ends to make trouble, so he threatened Yu'er halfway, saying that if he did not withdraw from his relatives, he would let him go to see the king of Hades. My old man was angry, so he went to the Lin Mansion to ask the second elder of the Lin family for justice. But I didn't expect that this Mrs. Lin family was also an unreasonable person, and she couldn't help but let her son mess around, and persuaded my master not to delay the future of her daughter and the Lin family.
"What about Master Lin and Lin Xian'er, do they also want to quit their relatives?" Xuan Yi continued to ask.
Mrs. Lin shook her head slightly, and continued: Lin Xian'er, this child is a good girl, and she has long been in touch with Yu'er, since she doesn't agree with her second brother's approach. As soon as he came back from outside and heard about this, he went to our house several times to apologize and promise us that he would never withdraw from his family.
Xuan Yi smiled with satisfaction, and said softly: It seems that this Master Lin is also sensible, so what about later?
Mrs. Lin sighed deeply and said: I thought that Master Lin had come forward, and this matter would be over. I didn't expect that... Mrs. Lin choked up for a while, and continued: That night, the housekeeper of the Lin family suddenly came to visit, saying that Master Lin wanted to see Yu'er and discuss the day of marriage with him. My lord and I were also puzzled at the time, according to custom, isn't this junior's big day discussed by the elders? Why would Master Lin find Yu'er alone. Later, I thought that maybe Master Lin wanted to take a look at his future uncle, so he didn't think about anything else, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, and when it came to the third watch, I waited for the bad news that Yu'er stabbed Master Lin to death...
Xuan Yi looked at Mrs. Xue who was choked, her expression moved slightly, and she couldn't help but comfort: Mrs. Xue, please don't be too sad, now, this family still depends on you.
Mrs. Xue took out her handkerchief, wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and said: Let Gongzi Ge smile.
Xuan Yi shook his head and said softly: It's okay, but how did Xue Gongzi stab Master Lin to death?
Mrs. Xue shook her head and said: I don't know, I won't tell you, since that night, except in the county hall, we have never seen Yu'er again, and I believe that Yu'er must have been wronged, and he will not kill anyone.
Xuan Yi's eyes frowned, and he was puzzled: You haven't seen Xue Gongzi, haven't you gone to visit the prison?
Mrs. Xue said helplessly: I have been there, I have been there many times, but the official in the prison said that Yu'er was a serious offender and could not be visited. We also went to ask the county magistrate, but they all returned in vain. You say I'm a woman, what can I do, I...
Xuan Yi looked surprised, even more puzzled, and asked in a deep voice: Could it be that Xue Gongzi confessed himself?
"I don't know." Mrs. Xue shook her head sadly and said: When she passed the hall that day, Yu'er was covered in blood, supported by the yacha, with her head lowered, unable to stand unsteadily, and unable to speak, and the county magistrate didn't even ask, just said that Yu'er had confessed to it, so he sentenced him to be beheaded after Qiu, as for what happened before, we don't know anything.
Xuan Yi stood up and stomped forward a few steps with a heavy brow.
After thinking alone for a moment, he turned to Mrs. Xue and comforted: Mrs. Xue, you can take care of Master Xue with peace of mind, and leave the matter of Master Xue to me, if he is really wronged, I will definitely return his innocence.
Mrs. Xue's gloomy eyes showed a hint of joy, and asked: Can Ge Gongzi really help Yu'er wash away her grievances?
Xuan Yi nodded heavily, and said firmly: Believe me, as for the Dan Heart Pill, I will write a letter when I go back and ask someone to send it.
At twilight, the yellow glow spreads across the sky.
As soon as Xuan Yi entered the hall door, he saw Jiu Drunk lying on the table, looking thoughtful.
Xuan Yi sighed lightly and asked with a smile: "Nine drunk, what are you doing?"
Jiu Zui raised his eyes slightly and glanced at him, and said casually: Think about things.
Xuan Yi guessed that he was worried about the thousand taels of silver that flew away, so he shook his head helplessly, and was about to step out of the door to find Ji Shan, but was stopped by Jiu Drunk: Apprentice, you wait first, I have something to discuss with you.
Xuan Yi was stunned for a moment and stared at Jiu drunk for a long time, but he couldn't guess what crooked ideas he was playing in his heart, so he took off his robe, sat down in a chic manner, and chuckled: What's the matter, say it.
Jiu Zui rolled his eyes to his side and asked, "Apprentice, do you say that we are beautiful?"
Xuanyi's eyes were slightly bright, and he laughed loudly: beautiful.
"Then do you think Ji Shan is smart?" Nine drunk asked again.
The corners of Xuanyi's mouth were raised, and he replied directly: Smart.
Jiu Zui poked his hand, smiled and continued to ask: Is that Qi Shan the phoenix among people?
"Forget it," Xuan Yi replied without thinking.
"Then what kind of person do you say is worthy of the phoenix among the people", Jiu Zui asked with squinted eyes.
"This... Xuan Yi stroked his hair with one hand and deliberately did not answer.
Jiu Drunk was disgusted for a while, and said: Why are you so stupid, the phoenix among people naturally has to match the dragon among people, as for the dragon among people, you don't need to say it, you know who it is.
Xuan Yi bowed slightly, and said lightly: You are talking about the current emperor.
Jiu drunk clapped his palms together and said: It really deserves to be my apprentice, just a little bit.
"Uhhhh Don't be in a hurry to praise me first, you have spared so much, what do you want to say?" Xuan Yi asked puzzled, waving a folding fan.
Jiu Zui covered his mouth and snickered, and said: "Is this, apprentice, didn't I tell you last night that the emperor was going to marry?" Then I thought about it for a night, what was I thinking, I kept thinking, if such an excellent girl as Ji Shan follows me or follows you in the future, will she be too wronged. So what kind of person can be worthy of her, I thought of the current emperor, you say, with Ji Shan's appearance and intelligence, if you can enter the palace, even if you can't be the queen, you must be a concubine or something, after that, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth, and you don't have to suffer from glass with us, right?
Xuan Yi laughed and said, "Okay, you're drunk, this attention has hit Ji Shan, ah?"
