The palace is silent, and the five-story Mingyu Tower is like a lighthouse erected in Beijing, and the windows are lit with golden lights.

Outside the study on the top floor, the Queen Mother, dressed in a crimson home dress, stood by the balcony fence, holding a telescope from below, looking at Wutong Street in the distance, the night wind blew the skirt, and the white calves loomed.

The study was brightly lit, and Dongfang Liren was sitting behind a large desk, with several stacks of case files in front of him, writing and drawing on the pamphlet.

Dongfang was born as the second princess of the golden branches and jade leaves, and she also likes martial arts, but martial arts and investigating cases are two things, she didn't have the opportunity to go out in person to adjust the case, and she didn't learn these things before.

But today on Zhuji Street, the dignified adults came to appear in front of her, which really amazed her.

Originally, the talent for martial arts was already a pinch, and now I can't even insert a word in my own work, how can I establish my prestige in front of my subordinates in the future?

For this reason, after returning from Zhuji Street, Dongfang Liren buried his head here to study the past files and learn experience, so that the next time he encountered this kind of occasion, he would not be regarded as a stupid prince by the Night Terror Hall again.

While she was studying carefully, the Queen Mother handed the telescope to Hongyu and walked into the room listlessly:

"Leave, who are your subordinates, are you back?"

Dongfang Liren wrote something in the pamphlet, but did not look up:

"Who?"

"It's the son surnamed Night, didn't you say last time, let Hongu learn to paint? Won't forget, right? ”

Dongfang left the pen for a moment, blinked his eyes, and remembered that he had promised last month to lend the Night Terror Hall to the Queen Mother to paint for a few days:

"Hmm...... He just came back this morning, and when he is free, I will ask him to come over and let the Queen Mother paint well. ”

The Queen Mother sat on the beauty couch sideways, playing with the small hairball of the knife, and sighed faintly:

"You are the prince, this kind of thing, it depends on whether your subordinates are free?"

Dongfang Liren explained: "Business is the most important. Night Terror Hall is a great talent, today I took him to Zhuji Street to handle the case, I just clicked slightly, and his eyes were like torches, and he deduced the characteristics of the murderer from some traces, and the people in the criminal department were shocked. Such a capable minister, if he is sent to the palace and let his sister Xiangzhong stay by his side, the people will have one less Qingtian lord......"

Dongfang Liren's words are estimated to be explaining to the Queen Mother that the night terror hall was detained out of appreciation of talent, not to intercept the beautiful man to fill his pockets.

But the Queen Mother was not stupid, but she didn't hear the words of covering her ears and stealing the bell, she thought about it and said:

"If you really have the ability, you have to find a way to use it on the blade of the knife to share the worries of the saint. The palace doesn't care about the affairs of the DPRK and China, but it can feel that the situation is not very peaceful. Yesterday, I accompanied the saint to bathe in the palace, and found that there was a white hair on the saint, how anxious is this......"

"Huh?"

Dongfang Liren's eyelashes moved slightly, and he raised his eyes:

"White hair?"

"There is only one, the saint said that it was okay, but the palace didn't think so. There are not a few diligent emperors in history who have become ill from hard work. Although he is also busy, at least he can take a break in his busy life, and he can hang out with the night terror hall when he has nothing to do; The saint has to deal with government affairs when he gets up, and he can play with the palace maids around him for a while every day, every day, every year......"

Dongfang Liren blinked, feeling that things were not so simple, as the emperor of a country, the pressure on his shoulders was indeed great, but with his sister's fierce character that even the emperor dared to pull off the horse, he could completely resist it, how could he be white-headed......

Could it be because she filled her pockets to intercept the show man......

While she was thinking wildly, the white-haired old woman appeared silently in the study and whispered:

"Your Royal Highness, Fang Cai Yegongzi went to investigate the murder of Zhuji Street, and squatted in the anti-theft division to find the murderer......"

"Huh?"

Dongfang came back to his senses, closed the booklet, and was quite surprised:

"He ran out alone at night to investigate the case? How did you squat at the murderer? ”

The white-haired old woman had a look of admiration in her eyes:

According to the report, the night boy saw that the swimming palm was real during the day, but he felt that there was something else, so he deliberately said that the palm technique was suspicious, and then squatted around the corpse at night, wanting to see if anyone came to destroy the corpse. As a result, the murderer really came over at night......"

Dongfang frowned: "He suspects that the government has an internal response?" ”

The white-haired old woman nodded solemnly:

"Judging from the results, there is indeed an internal response in the yamen, and after discovering that Yegongzi saw the 'horse's feet' in his palm, he secretly went to report to the murderer."

Dongfang Liren blinked: "Uh...... How did he see that the government had an internal response? ”

The white-haired old woman thought for a moment and reluctantly explained:

"The night boy should have seen that the palm technique was a little unreasonable, so just try it. The murderer will come over at night to destroy the corpse, which shows that the murderer himself thinks that there is a difference between the palm technique and the palm technique of Zhang Henggu's lineage, and the murderer is definitely not a person from the Pingtian Sect...... Well...... It can only be said that Yegongzi has vicious eyesight, excellent intuition, and good luck......"

Dongfang was surprised in his heart, and felt that the ability of the Night Terror Hall to handle cases seemed to be outrageous compared to the talent of martial arts. She nodded slowly:

"The unique method of the Huiping Heavenly Sect is still in the government, and this matter is definitely not small...... Did the murderer catch it? ”

"Yegongzi said that the murderer was cunning and was trying to track it down. When he was fighting with the murderer, Yegongzi was injured and had just gone to the Imperial Doctor's Mansion......"

"Injured?!"

Dongfang Liren's face changed slightly, and he stood up: "Queen Mother, you rest first, I'll go out and have a look." ”

The Queen Mother waved her hand very understandingly:

"Go, don't rush back to accompany your mother at night."

？

Dongfang was stunned, and felt that there was something in the Queen Mother's words, but it was better to think about it......

——

Wende Bridge, the mansion of the royal family.

Wende Bridge is located in the south of the city, adjacent to the outer wall of the imperial city, the mansions of the princes and princes are mostly here, so the living environment is excellent, the street is paved with white stone floor tiles, and the two sides are green trails.

At night, although there are not many pedestrians, lanterns are hung on both sides of the street, making it one of the few neighborhoods in the capital that is equipped with 'street lights'.

The residence of the old lady Wang is in the center of Wende Bridge, in front of which is a medical hall, and the gold-lettered signboard of 'Xinglin Holy Hand' is hung above, which is written by the imperial pen of the founding emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Behind the hospital are several rooms, several of which are lit up for the patient's recuperation.

The last room is the Wang family's house, which is quite large, but very simple, and the garden is planted with a variety of medicinal herbs.

In the main hall of the Wang family, a candle was lit.

Night Terror Hall sat upright next to the tea table, with his right hand stretched out on the soft pillow.

On the opposite side of the tea case, there was an old man in a white robe, with snow-white hair, kind eyebrows, his left hand clasped on the wrist of the Night Terror, and his right hand gently rubbed his fingers, frowning and contemplative.

Doctor Wang is over eighty years old now, in the previous dynasty was a barefoot man who ran the rivers and lakes with his master, and became a doctor with the army when the Great Wei raised the army, and the founding emperor was wounded in battle several times, all of which were rescued by his own hands.

The miracle doctor 'Medicine King Li', who no one dared to provoke on the rivers and lakes, studied under the old lady Wang. Medicine King Li can sell a bottle of jade dragon paste for a hundred taels of silver on the rivers and lakes, and the status of the old doctor Wang can be imagined.

But it was such an old miracle doctor who said that you were dead, and you didn't dare to confirm that you were still alive', but at this time, his face was quite solemn, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

“……”

Night Terror Hall knew the name of Doctor Wang, and originally thought that he was fine, but looking at this appearance, his heart was half cold, and he was afraid that Luo Nuxia, who was waiting outside, would be heartbroken when he heard it, so he approached and asked tentatively:

"Elder Wang, under the ...... Is there any salvation? ”

Doctor Wang rubbed her fingers lightly, and after a long time, she responded:

"It's 'snow moth scales', commonly known as 'white lime', it is more common in Beiliang, there are few people in Dawei, it is not a poison, but it is powerful in getting into the flesh, it can block the qi veins, it is difficult to deal with in a short time, and it is mostly used to sneak attack or block the pursuers."

"Oh...... How to solve it? ”

"You can recover on your own in seven days, and the old man will give you a needle, and it will be fine in two quarters of an hour."

“……”

Night Terror Hall secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time was a little speechless, and said secretly: Sesame is a big deal, as for watching it for so long? I'm starting to think about what happened......

But this is definitely not easy to say, Night Terror Hall smiled and said: "Wang Lao really lives up to his reputation, that white powder, it really looks like lime, I didn't expect it to have a great origin......

"Snow goose scales are also sprinkled on people's faces, and the effect is not much different from quicklime, so it is commonly known as 'white lime', which is an object that does not speak of martial virtues. If it is sprinkled accurately, this thing is actually not as effective as quicklime, but the martial arts are not good, and quicklime can't be sprinkled. ”

"Oh...... Learn. ”

As he spoke, Old Lady Wang took a golden needle from the needle box next to him, stabbed it on the left arm of the Night Terror Hall, and pricked it at the fingertips of the Night Terror Hall, and black blood beads immediately oozed from the fingertips and dripped into the porcelain bowl.

Night Terror Hall found that after the old lady Wang had finished administering the needle, he was checking his pulse again and asked:

"Are there any other illnesses down there?"

Doctor Wang tapped her fingers on the armrest, pondered for a long time, raised her old eyes and asked:

"Who's your father?"

？

Night Terror Hall didn't expect Old Lady Wang to ask this, shook his head and said:

"I am an outcast, picked up by my father-in-law, and I don't know what I will live in. What did Wang Lao Mo see? ”

Doctor Wang touched his beard: "The dragon gives birth to the dragon, the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, you have good roots, and among the people you have seen in the old man's life, you can also be among the best, and your parents are by no means idle, just curious." ”

"Hehe~ Wang Lao has won the award, it may be that my father-in-law has played well since he was a child."

Tick~

Tick~

Beads of blood dripped from the fingertips of the bowl, and the jet-black color visibly faded to the naked eye.

Doctor Wang carefully took the pulse, and after a long time, she said:

"'Muscles, bones and skin' is the appearance, and 'spirit' is the inside. Only tempering the muscles, bones and skin, without cultivating the inside, will overdraw people's innate essence, not the way to longevity. In the future, no matter what martial arts you practice, you must keep this principle in mind. ”

Night Terror Hall felt that Old Lady Wang had something to say, but it was difficult to confirm it, so he bowed his head and said:

"I'll pay attention to it in the future. Elder Wang has seen my martial arts path? ”

"The method of luck must go to the qi veins of people, as long as you have deep experience, you can see one or two from the strength of the qi veins. The old man has checked the pulse of Crazy Tooth, Qiu Tianhe, and Old Gunkui, and you can see the shadow from you. ”

Night Terror Hall looked surprised, and bowed: "Disrespectful, it is lonely and unheard." Can Wang Lao check Zheng Feng's pulse? ”

"After Zheng Feng was seriously injured, he came once, his qi was broken, and even giving birth to children and grandchildren was an extravagant hope, the old man was a doctor, not a god, and he couldn't be saved."

Night Terror's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't show any different color, just nodded slowly.

"Don't move, your fingers don't drip blood, and you can pull out the needle on your own."

After the old lady Wang finished speaking, she got up with a cane and walked to the back of the hall.

Night Terror Hall was a little upset, and after a moment of silence alone, he suddenly remembered that Bird Bird was still working outside, and turned his eyes to look outside, only to find that Luo Nuxia, who was waiting outside the door, had disappeared for some reason at this time......
