The round-faced girl stroked her big braids, glanced shyly at the young man's white face, and replied, "Well, that's a long story." There are always dead rats in our grassland, and whoever sees them is not allowed to return to the camp, for fear of bringing the epidemic back to the tribe. Outside, self-destruction is the meaning of life and death. But there are exceptions to ------. ”

"Oh?" The young man seemed to be very interested in the topic and asked, "What kind of people can be exceptional?" ”

"Naturally, they are the people of the royal court, and if they are infected with the disease, they will be locked in this separate tent and sent a witch doctor to deliver medicine. If you can survive it, you can save a life. ”

"Then the people who are locked up in it now are the dependents of the royal court?"

"She," the round-faced girl snorted disdainfully, "what is she?" It's just a slave girl brought back by King Xiaopi's envoy to Mizhi, but King Xiaobi likes her and refuses to let her out. Our king agreed. ”

"It seems that the king still values the little king very much, and is willing to make such an exception for him. The same is true for parents and children! The young man sighed.

"Where?" The round-faced girl blushed, and spoke much faster: "It's a bit guilty!" Originally, Prince Tu Ge was arrested by the Zhou Dynasty, and the royal court was treated as the heir to the throne. didn't think that the right minister actually managed to save the prince back, and the king would definitely pass on the throne to his parents. What can I do with the little king? So, can our king not value the little king? ”

"Really? You know so much! The young man praised.

"That's," said the round-faced girl triumphantly, "I'm the princess's close maid!" ”

At night, everything is quiet. A ghostly figure slipped through the fence of the king's tent, silently touched the outside of the special tent with the wolf's tail hanging, and looked around, only to see the only guard napping. He took out a bone whistle from his bosom, blew it gently, and listened to it again, but there was no movement in it, and he blew it again------

"Is it Senior Brother Chongli?" A woman's faint voice could be heard from inside the tent.

Chongli lowered his voice and asked, "Leaves?" Is there anyone else in it? ”

"No, senior brother can come in."

Chongli no longer hesitated, lifted the curtain and went in. It was pitch black, and the woman lit a grease lamp, and then she was encouraged to see that she was lying on the ground in the corner of the tent, and her face was gray because of the light or something.

Ye Ziyi stretched out his hand and stopped Chongli from approaching: "Senior brother, I have been infected with the epidemic, don't get close, stay away and talk." ”

Chong Li's heart was sour, and he squatted down and asked softly, "Master asked me to ask you, has the epidemic prescription arrived?" ”

"There it is." Ye Zi nodded, took out a sheepskin with writing from under the pillow, and instructed: "Senior brother, you can't take it directly in your hands, when I first came to this tent, a witch doctor sent medicine, I checked all the medicine residues, and I made sure that it was these medicines." ”

Chongli tore off a piece of his shirt, wrapped the sheepskin, and asked curiously, "Then are you okay?" Why don't you go back with me, Master is still waiting for you! ”

Ye Zi shook his head weakly: "I can't get better from this disease, I'm about to die!" ”

Hearing this, Chongli was taken aback, and asked repeatedly, "Don't you have a recipe?" Didn't you take your medicine? ”

"Ahh Only then did Chongli notice Ye Zi's lead-gray face and a pair of red eyes, which were very frighteningly red, and he was even more puzzled: "Isn't it ------ this medicine ineffective?" ”

"No, senior brother, listen to me." Ye Zi said with difficulty: "This recipe is only in the hands of Wang Ting, and he looks at it very closely. When King Xiao Pi brought the witch doctor here, he fried the medicine in this tent, and after frying it at once, it was divided into three bowls. After finishing, he took away all the medicine residue and disposed of it, so that the epidemic prescription would not be seen and detected. I couldn't ------ pretend I couldn't drink the medicine for the first few days and spit it out, forcing the witch doctor to re-boil the medicine, so I could observe what herbs were available. After repeating this for a few days, the condition was delayed, and it was useless to take medicine again. ”

"What does that mean?" Chong Li pondered: "Isn't this epidemic prescription able to cure all the infected people?" ”

"I don't know why, I've tried King Xiaobi, and he doesn't know." A strange look flashed in Ye Zi's eyes: "Speaking of which, I'm also sorry for King Xiaopi, he really helped me, but I ------- just using him." I'm ------- sorry for Princess Likui, she treats me like a sister, but I put a jealous hat on her head in order to let King Xiaobi take me back to the court of the Lynx. In fact, how could King Myitky have a little servant girl like me in his eyes? ”.net

A violent cough hit, and the leaves let out a bellows-like moan in his throat, and he couldn't speak. Chongli couldn't bear it, and said, "Senior sister, why don't you go with me and go back to find Master." Maybe there's a way to cure you! ”

Ye Zi stroked his chest and tried his best to calm his breathing, and it took a long time to straighten his neck and reply: "No, senior brother, I can't hold on for that long." In the past day or two, I ------- to go. Go back and tell the master that I, Ye Zi, used this life -------- repay him for avenging my brother. Senior brother, go quickly, when the guards wake up, it's too late, it's almost dawn! ”

"Then Senior Sister -------, take care!" Chongli glanced at her reluctantly and lifted the curtain to leave.

"Lord Sima, this is the dictation of the Son of Heaven, you see ------"

At the gate of Xuanning Palace, two armored guards held a pair of shackles in their hands and looked at Ji Duoyou in embarrassment. After all, in the past, he was now his top boss, and no one dared to be too brutal. Duoyou didn't want to embarrass them, nodded his head, and said loudly: "Then come!" ”

After a loud sound, Duoyou's ankles were more than ten pounds of shackles on his ankles, and he walked across the bluestone road, leaving white traces. The guard arched his hand a little guiltily and said: "Master Sima, you can go in by yourself, if you have a short time to eat and drink, you can say a word inside, and the little ones can take it for you." The king also said that he had to cut off your diet, and the little ones could still bear it! ”

Ji Duoyou nodded gratefully: "Thank you, brothers!" ”

Xuanning Palace was a dead silence, a real death-like silence. Don't say it's popularity, it's a living ant, a living insect, or even a living tree, which seems to be a luxury. In this deathly world, the sound of the metal of the shackles on Ji Tayou's ankles rubbing against the stone face echoes, echoing in the wind, which is terrifying------

No matter how bold Ji Duoyou was, he didn't dare to go to that mass grave. But he couldn't suppress his curiosity, and couldn't help but glance at it from a distance, and saw that the pit was much fuller than the last time he came in. It seems that the people in this Xuanning Palace are all dead, right? It won't be long before I should be like them, right?

Suddenly, a woman stood at the entrance of the inner dormitory and beckoned to him. He was afraid that he was dazzled, so he rubbed his eyes vigorously, isn't that uncle? How? She's alive.

Tayu was very happy, a man on the verge of despair, instinctively delighted to see his kind, and he hurried towards her.

Uncle Concubine was not as optimistic as him, she was still worried, and whispered a word recently. Ji Duoyou was suddenly shocked: "What? Did I hear me right? You say, mother------ she didn't die? ”

"It's alive." Before Duoyou had time to rejoice, his uncle's next sentence knocked him into the abyss: "However, he is also dying." Niangniang is hanging with a sigh of relief, and wants to tell the adult a few words. ”

"Take me there."

Under the eaves of the inner dormitory, Ji Duoyou walked step by step, and the loud noise from the shackles became more and more harsh, making him very resentful and uneasy. At first hearing the news that E Yao was not dead, after he was overjoyed, he also guessed that Niangniang wanted to fake her death and get out, so that she could help her get out of the deep palace and live incognito from now on? If so, he was willing to take her out of this lifeless palace and go anywhere. It's just a desperate fight, it's a big deal to die in one place.

However, the uncle said that she was going to die, what was going on? A thought flashed through his mind: Could it be that Niangniang was not infected with the epidemic? Think about it, whether the palace people who are infected with the epidemic in the palace, whether they are male or female, healthy or not, it will only take two or three days from infection to death, and it will only take about five days to survive. But Niangniang has been calling the imperial doctor for more than half a month since she was infected with the epidemic, right? It's the magic hand of Imperial Doctor Hu, and he can't stay up for so long! Could it be that there is something strange about this?

The bead curtain shook in front of him, and Duoyou was habitually about to kneel outside the curtain, but he heard Eyao's weak voice from inside: "Now there are no other living people in the palace, Sima can enter." ”

"This ------" Duoyou hesitated for a moment, but still entered the inner room under the guidance of his uncle.

The woman's slender pale arm stretched out, pointed to the side of the couch, and the uncle understood, brought a leather pestle, motioned for Duoyou to sit down, and quietly withdrew from the door. Duoyou saw E Yao's face and was slightly surprised, this is not the lead-gray face that people who are dying of the epidemic, but faintly blackened, as if there are signs of poisoning. Isn't she infected?

At this doubt, E Yao spoke: "You don't have to hesitate, I'm fine, my uncle and concubine, our epidemic has long been cured!" ”

Duoyou was surprised: "What's going on?" Niangniang has an epidemic prescription, why didn't she take it out earlier? Since the epidemic is cured, why do you say that your life is short? ”

"Lord Sima doesn't need to be surprised, let Bengong explain it in detail."

E Yao pointed to the inkstone on the table: "There is a silk book there, and the general can be seen." ”

Duoyou took the silk book and unfolded it, and it turned out to be a medical prescription: "Ten points for black beak, six points for fine xin, ten points for surgery, four points for cinnamon, drink a knife with warm soup, three days and nights, and do not sweat." ”

He couldn't help but be surprised: "Isn't this the cure I got from Tu Ge, what?" Niangniang has it here, too? ”
