Chapter Fifty-Eight: Riding a Horse into the Imperial City

"Official, the old man just fell and fainted. If the owner of the village has the ability to bring the dead back to life, he also needs to lead this group of women to the mountains to hunt. Just grab a few lives with Lord Yama and come back, wouldn't the money you earn be endless to eat and spend. Yuqing looked at a few court soldiers and said indifferently.

"Master, I taught my apprentices this skill. I don't know what happened on the mountain after the official found it? The old man said, and the head was clear when he heard it. This old imperial doctor is still so fond of showing off.

"Old Imperial Doctor, I know that this mountain is private to your villa. Xia Guan came this time to invite the old imperial doctor out of the mountain, and then bring Ye Xiaozhuang with him. ”

"Official, I was kicked out of the palace at fault back then. I'm now a man in the villa. I'm afraid I can't afford the love of the court. ”

"Don't know how to lift up, and don't pretend to be confused. There has been a change in the dragon chair, and any mistakes you have made have been revealed. The new emperor can remember that you are your creation. Master Ye Xiaozhuang, your villa was the first to discover the plague, and you boiled a few large pots of medicinal soup to curb the spread. There is also Yuanwai Mountain Villa, which was also healed by your master and apprentice, and even the Lang Zhong in Yanwai Castle used your recipe. Master Ye Xiaozhuang, don't you even deny this, just like your master, stubbornly refuse to enter the palace. Toutou's face became even more gloomy.

"Official, although the folk girl and my master haven't learned too much, they can be regarded as a little Langzhong. Langzhong's duty is to treat diseases and save lives, and the folk girl and my master don't want to hide it. It's just that the people who fell ill in our villa were initially suffering from ordinary fever and discomfort, and my master and I also boiled the medicinal soup according to the headache and brain fever. When we arrived at Yuanwai Villa, we also suspected that it was not a good disease. But the recipes are all the same, including Yanwai Castle, and the recipes taken by the owner of Yanxiao Castle are also the same. Yu Qing said frankly.

"What's the matter with the pills?"

"Official, you know this. Lang Zhong even has to keep a few hands for his own apprentices, not to mention that a large area of people have a disease at the same time. ”

"Official, the women want to expose them, two days ago, their master and apprentice were rubbing a lot of pills in the small pharmacy in the villa." The seventh aunt was talking about everything there again, and the women who immediately attracted her rolled their eyes and looked at her.

"Seventh uncle, I still need you to expose and report this matter, my master and I just heard that there was a plague in the imperial city. I just rubbed some pills out, and we didn't hide this from anyone. ”

"Fuck off, the lower official is talking here, how can you interject? I heard that you almost killed someone in order to snatch the old lady's chicken just now. If you cut off your head directly in the imperial city, you are really an ignorant Diao Min. "Lao Langzhong and Yuqing didn't agree to go to the palace, and the head directly sprinkled his anger on Qi Boniang. The emperor was so anxious about this matter that several ladies in the harem didn't dare to go. He just received this errand, and he still wanted to make a meritorious service in front of the emperor.

"Official, the grass people also brought the prescription back to the palace for you, as well as more than 100 pills that have been rubbed." Lao Langzhong looked at Yuqing and said, Yuqing took the master's words and continued.

"When the patient was first found in the villa, my master and I treated it as an ordinary fever, although the people in the villa were more serious, it was the same as the medicinal soup boiled in our villa. It wasn't until Yanwai Castle came to ask for help that I knew that it was not an ordinary fever. My master and I risked our lives, so we sold the prescription to them. It's not that we have anything special about Yuanwai Villa, it's just that they have few Lang Zhongshao who can see a doctor like us here. The official brought back the prescriptions and pills, and the imperial doctors in the palace could use them as references. After Yuqing's words were finished, the official who came thought hesitantly. At this moment, one of the attendants muttered a few words in his ear.

"Your master is cunning and cunning, you are also eccentric, who knows if your prescriptions and pills can be curative? If not, wouldn't it be a matter of letting the lower officials take the blame for you? After listening to the words of the entourage, the official said in a tough manner.

"Official, you're thinking too much. My master and I didn't hide or exaggerate what had happened, and we said the same thing about Yanwai Castle. Our prescriptions and pills are for their reference. As for the effect, how long does it take for a person who drinks the medicine to recover? We didn't ask. There are many talents in the imperial city, and there are many imperial doctors, and my master is old, and the people are also fledgling. It's not easy to live, you're afraid of taking the blame, and we're afraid of being punished if the prescription doesn't work well. To put it irreverently, the folk girl is still worried that you are falsely spreading the emperor's will and inviting credit yourself. ”

"Bold! Do you only enter the palace when you see the holy decree? The former imperial physician holy hand, Ye Yuqing listened to the order. "The subordinate who was clever just now only started to make an official tone at this time.

Everyone in the hula fell to their knees. The court official read out the holy decree, and the content of the holy decree was very simple, that is, the former imperial physician and the holy hand should take the apprentice into the palace to cure the plague. There is a reward for curing, and there is no cure.

After listening to the words of the holy decree, Lao Langzhong stood up tremblingly and took the holy decree and said: "The grass people and apprentices thank the emperor for his grace, and they must do their best to share the emperor's worries." ”

"That's right, being summoned into the palace by the emperor's decree is a great honor for your entire villa. The old imperial doctor Ye Xiaozhuang master, let's go into the palace with the lower officials. “

"Official, the folk girl still has to send the herbs she picked back to the villa, and the most important thing is to go back and get the pills made by my master. And these women who came from hunting, and the owner of the farm will take them back. ”

"There are so many things, the lower official will take your master to go first, and we will meet on the official road." The court official said helplessly, but he was thinking in his heart that if you dared to run, your master would die in the palace.

"Official, the grass people's horses must not miss the hour. Aunts and uncles, there are a few villagers to protect you and go back to the villa quickly. After Yuqing finished speaking, the big red horse ran up, and the old man over there also got into the carriage sent by the imperial court and went down the mountain from the other side.

Yuqing rode a big red horse back to the sixth courtyard first, put down the little wolf cub, explained the feeding of Grandma Nurse and Ye Jing, and also told Grandma Grandma about entering the palace.

"Miss, the palace is easy to enter and exit, you should be more careful." In a hurry, the grandmother instructed.

Yuqing went to the small pharmacy again, closed the door, took out some of the pills in the space and put them in the pocket on the horse's back. Passing by the meeting hall of the villa, Ye Xuan and Zhen'er were already waiting outside.

"Master Yuqing, you are really blessed, maybe you can meet the emperor. You can rest assured about the things in the villa. Ye Xuan said with some envy that at this time she may have forgotten that her father and brother died during the palace change.

"Yuqing, you change your stubborn temperament, we are waiting for you to come back." Zhen'er said with concern.

"You two rest assured, Miss Ben is sorry for her life." Yuqing didn't have any extra words, and ran out of the villa.

There was not a single passer-by on the cold official road, and Yuqing gave the big red horse a command at full speed. A man and a horse were almost flying, and when they passed the villa, they saw the carriage of the court turning from the foot of the mountain.

There was a dead silence in the imperial city, all the shops were closed, and there was not a single person in sight on the streets, except for the officials on patrol. There was also black smoke drifting high into the air in the direction of the mass grave. Don't think about the dead being burned there. The plague in the imperial city was more serious than Yuqing had imagined.

The carriage was driven directly into the palace, and Yuqing followed behind the carriage on horseback. Although the palace was magnificent, it was also a deathly silence. Occasionally, the eunuchs and palace maids who passed by in a hurry passed by, and the face cloth almost covered the eyes. In an open space in the palace, there is also a row of cauldrons. There was also a black medicinal soup in the pot, apparently not long after the ceasefire, and the medicinal soup had not yet frozen. It turned out that a group of imperial doctors who had just boiled medicine were now kneeling in the main hall tremblingly.

"What's the use of the imperial court keeping you waste? All of them are idiot treasures, the prescription has been given to you, why is the medicine you boiled out not effective? Are you not as good as those Lang Zhong outside who have never seen the world? "There were people sitting on the dragon chair, wearing double-layered scarves, and incense was lit on the dragon table. It is the newly enthroned emperor this time - Yan Rutian.

"Your Majesty, Lang Zhong outside is the most cunning, they gave the prescription, and I heard that there are also blessing pills. But apart from the ingredients they analyzed, we haven't seen any of them. And one Lang Zhong said one thing, and the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital didn't know who was right. ”

"Why don't you say you're all stupid? The medicinal herbs in the palace are open for you to use, and the medicinal soup boils pot after pot. Those who drank the medicinal soup deserved to die, and no one was cured. If another person dies in the palace, no matter what his identity, he will kill one of you. ”

"The emperor spares his life." There was a wailing in the hall.

Yuqing, who was riding on the big red horse, received the live broadcast of the soul pen, as if he was there. Closer to the main hall, Yuqing can more or less sense the situation in the main hall. Even smelled the incense on the dragon case, the herbs in it have a preventive and sterilizing effect. It's just that the spices are mixed but it has no effect. I already have a charter in my heart, but I can't communicate with the master. It can only be a move to improvise.

The eunuch guarding the door had already gone inside to report that Yuqing and their carriage were quickly stopped by the eunuch, and Yuqing and Lao Langzhong also followed the eunuch into the main hall.

"Long live my emperor, long live." Yuqing learned what he saw in film and television dramas in his previous life, but he didn't expect to really keep up with the rhythm of Master Langzhong. The emperor on the dragon chair is obviously very popular with this set, and he can't see the expression behind the scarf. Listening to the tone is clearly cheerful.

"Imperial Doctor Holy Hand, Master Ye Xiaozhuang stood up and replied."

"Obediently, the rhythm is not right, shouldn't the emperor say flat next?" Yuqing's consciousness slipped.

"Master, it's good to understand the spirit." Yuyu is very anxious for her master.

"Master Ye Xiaozhuang, don't be afraid, the old imperial doctor still has the same demeanor." The emperor in the high position thought that the small owner below was afraid. Hearing Yuqing's coldness, he felt a chill.

"What looks? This princess is at ease. Yuqing rolled his eyes in his senses.

"Master, he can't see your contemptuous expression. Seriously, okay? ”

"Imperial Physician Holy Hand, Master Ye Xiaozhuang, I heard that the plague that occurred in your mountain villa, Yuanwai Mountain Villa, and Yanwai Castle were all cured by your master and apprentice. I am thirsty for wealth, for the sake of the rivers and mountains of the Great Yan Kingdom. Only then did the Imperial Doctor Holy Hand and Ye Xiaozhuang Master be summoned into the palace to contain the plague together with the imperial doctors in the palace. ”

"Your Majesty, it is the honor of the grass people to be able to share the emperor's worries and solve problems. When the grass people were cured in Zhuangzi, they used ordinary antipyretic and detoxification methods. Later, the people who fell ill at Yuanwai Villa were more serious, and the prescription did not change much. It's just that the dosage of herbs and the order in which they are boiled have been changed. When they arrived at Yanwai Castle, the grass people and the apprentices didn't go over, but just sold the medicine recipes and the pills made by the grass people to them. As for the curative effect, the grass people and the apprentices did not know. Lao Langzhong lowered his head and said matter-of-factly.

"Old Imperial Doctor, what you said is not true. According to the information I have obtained, these few times are the credit of your apprentice who is better than Lan. I didn't expect to be kicked out of the palace for more than 10 years, and you haven't gotten rid of this problem. ”

"Virtue, you know a. Planting spies everywhere is a lack of confidence in yourself. ”

"Master, calm and composed."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the grass people are terrified." There was fear in the old man's voice.

"Your Majesty, can you allow the maiden to say a few words?" Seeing that Master Langzhong was a little confused, Yuqing hurriedly stopped the topic.

"Master Ye Xiaozhuang, if you have anything to say, just say it. As long as it's for the sake of this plague, whether it's right or not, I don't blame you. The emperor pretended to be magnanimous and said.

"It's hypocritical." Yuyu complained in her senses.

"Quiet." Yuqing also said to Yuyu in his consciousness, in the emperor's opinion, Ye Xiaozhuang was brewing emotions. couldn't help but have his vanity satisfied, and he didn't rush to look at Yuqing. It's just that the face is covered with a face towel and I only see a pair of clear eyes, and I don't know what kind of face is under the face towel.

"Your Majesty, the folk girl has studied medicine with Master Langzhong for a few years. The folk girl just dares to think and do, and her confidence still comes from the superb medical skills of Master Langzhong. Master Langzhong loves talent, so he gave all the credit to the people's daughter. Master Lang Zhong is a responsible person, and the folk girl dares to put her wild ideas into practice. ”

"Oh! I still can't understand it accurately, Lao Langzhong, you are not afraid that the apprentice will smash the master's signboard and lose your job. The emperor said humorously again.

"If you go back to the emperor, it's not that you're not afraid, it's that those ideas grass people agree with but don't have the guts. Young people have the courage to innovate and dare to try new things on the basis of the older generation, which is something to be encouraged. The grass people are not responsible masters, but they want to live well. This sentence was said from the bottom of his heart, and the imperial doctors who were still kneeling on the ground agreed. I don't think Lao Langzhong's approach is wrong, and the credit of the apprentice should be the master's. Without the teaching of the master, how can the apprentice innovate.

"Well, if you want to live well, you will do your best to study the prescription and cook the medicinal soup, and the plague in the imperial city will be rewarded. The old imperial doctor, Ye Xiaozhuang, do you want to see those who are sick in person? ”

"If you go back to the emperor, this is a must-see, and ask the imperial doctor in the palace to show the grass people the way." As soon as Lao Langzhong's words fell, he immediately attracted a burst of rolling eyes, and the little good impression he had for Lao Langzhong just now was gone. I really don't know whether I live or die, and I dare to go to the sick.

"I really don't know what to do, my master is here to save you."

"Master, calm down."

The sick people in the palace are now concentrated in the cold palace, with guards on one side and women on the other. The imperial doctor in the palace refused to go anymore because he was far away.

"Old imperial doctor, on that side are the ladies and palace maids, and on this side are the sick guards and eunuchs. We have all seen these people before they enter the cold palace, and you master and apprentice have passed, and we will wait here.
