Chapter Sixty-Seven: A Shocking Secret
After walking around the street a few more times, Yuqing took the opportunity to check his kung fu, except for a few people who got up early to do breakfast business, rubbed their eyes and said that they didn't sleep well, the place he walked was like a gust of wind blowing past.
"Master, you are really good, this is the light skill in the Jade Girl Feiliu Sword Technique."
"Yuyu, I'm not sure if it's your master, but with the skillful footwork of the swordsmanship, it has become like this."
"Then when the master has practiced all the swordsmanship, won't he be able to fly."
"That's a must, hey, go to that breakfast stall and buy something, the master likes to eat soft noodles. It would be better if there were wontons with meat filling, by the way, Ye Jing's noodle shop added another noodle dish. “
"Master, you are earning performance value on the inside and making money on the outside."
"It's necessary, I just don't know when the imperial city will be opened."
When I returned to Imperial Doctor Alley early, there were already a lot of pedestrians on the street. It can be seen that the medicinal soup distributed for free is still effective, and the depressed urban area has come to life. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the alley, I met an acquaintance.
"Little farmer, did you even buy it back so early?" The head of the courtyard stood on the side of the road and said with a smile.
"The head of the courtyard also got up early, is this going out to buy breakfast or waiting for Miss Ben to come back, but early is not an adult's share, this is my master's favorite chicken soup noodles." Yuqing also said with a smile, and the old face of the head of the courtyard changed and changed.
"The little owner is a shrewd man, your master and apprentice have not left the city, the emperor sent me to say, and the road out of the city is valid on the same day. I'm afraid that your master and apprentice won't know that you have violated the rules of the court, and the head of this courtyard will enter the palace in a hurry, so I am waiting for the little owner here. “
"Lord of the Academy, then you are reluctant to seek the near and far, just tell my master directly. The noodles are going to be cold, so Miss Ben will not delay the adults to enter the palace. By the way, I would like to tell the emperor that the owner of the village wants to stay in the master's house for a few more days, and go back when the imperial city is unblocked. After Yuqing finished speaking, he walked past the head of the courtyard and walked into the Imperial Doctor Alley.
"Little farmer, you're not in a hurry to go back to the villa, why aren't you in a hurry now." The voice of the head of the courtyard came from behind.
"It's time to worry about going back to the villa, the master can still have a few days of herbs here, so I won't leave yet." Yu Qingtou replied without replying.
"Master, the emperor is so suspicious."
"How can he have a sense of security by killing his brother to steal the country. Wake up the watchful people, and report to the master that Miss Ben has gone out to buy breakfast. “
The courtyard door of the old man was wide open, and when he saw Yuqing coming back, the old man who was sweeping the floor said loudly: "Apprentice, the medicinal soup that has been boiled overnight, why did you go out to buy breakfast for the master." Just ask someone to make some food, you hurry back and sleep for a while, the master is still waiting for you to study the prescription. “
"Master, I haven't slept much all night anyway, and I don't know what time it will be when I wake up. The master was used to eating soft noodles in the villa, so the apprentice went out to buy a few bowls, and everyone ate together. “
"What, and our share?" The old woman who kept the house was pleasantly surprised.
"Apprentice, where did you go last night, the master was worried that he couldn't sleep all night, he caught more than ten rats, and he has been fed several poisons and still haven't died." After breakfast, the master and apprentice came to the pharmacy again.
"Master, you haven't slept all night, so hurry up and give the mouse the detoxification pills, and then we all go to rest, and when we wake up, we will see the situation of the mouse detoxification." Yuqing looked at more than a dozen half-dead rats and said that some were about to die, and his heart was full of emotion, and he decided to tell the truth to Master Langzhong.
After feeding more than a dozen rats with pills and making good records, both the master and apprentice went back to their rooms to rest, and after eating at noon, they returned to the medicine room, looking at the rats that were already alive, and both of them were excited.
"Master, we have succeeded, according to this idea, as long as we know the source of the poison, we can refine the corresponding antidote. Apprentice has a poison scripture here, maybe it can make us improve in this field. It's just that this book still needs the help of the master to cover up the source. “
"Apprentice, there's no problem with that. Can you tell the master where you went last night, in case something goes wrong, the master can also help. “
"Master, there is no mistake, but where Yuqing went and found something, he has to explain to the master. This is the apprentice's trust in the master, and it is also the grace to repay the master's maintenance. “
"Apprentice, the master only heard from your grandmother that you were loyal and good, and asked us to help us when we needed it. Your aunt and your aunt have protected you very well for so many years, and we haven't helped much. It wasn't until you became the owner of the village, and you showed extraordinary wisdom and talent, that the dumb woman and I came into use. The old owner's wife handed over the housekeeping rights for you to withdraw in time, and the help to you in the future will not affect their roommates, and if there is no involvement, there will be less suspicion and less trouble. “
"Master, thank you for your maintenance, Yuqing went to the God of War Prince's Mansion last night, Yuqing is the daughter of the God of War Prince, and my mother is a strange woman in the frontier. Later, there was a spy in the army, my father protected my mother and our brother and sister and escaped, but they were still chased and killed all the way, my father's life and death are unknown, my mother was killed, and my brother does not know where he is located. Grandma took me to the villa, as for how the grandmother who was far away knew my aunt, this Yuqing doesn't know. “
"Kid, you're really good after the God of War Prince. Your father is not only loyal and good, but also the guardian general of our Yan Kingdom, and such a person will never die. Son, you have to have faith that your dad is still alive somewhere. As for your grandmother, she is from the Imperial City, and she was brought by your grandfather. Also a distant relative of your aunt, a relationship that few people know. Moreover, after returning from Biansai, your grandmother rarely returned to the imperial city, and your aunt and uncle paid a lot for your safety. “
"Master, these Yuqing will be remembered in my heart. Oh, I found some things in my father's ruined palace, master, you can show them. Yuqing said and took out the two paper bags.
"Child, you can't take these bills out of your hands right now, or spend them out of your hands. The previous dynasty is now a sensitive topic, you don't know that the eldest princess has been driven out of the imperial city, and it won't be long before the new emperor will cut the grass and eradicate the roots. The eldest princess is your own aunt, born to your father. Lao Langzhong looked at the stack of silver tickets in his hand and said.
"Master, I already know, and I rescued their mother and son this morning. But they didn't see me, and I heard from my aunt that they had gone to the country. “
"Mother and son? The eldest princess has only one son, and the other should be the boy that the eldest princess picked up on the street. It is said that the boy is very filial and sensible, and he is not a little better than the eldest princess's biological son. “
"Master, the apprentice has already seen it, if he is not my aunt's child, I don't want to care about him, so I will let him be arrested into the yamen and be beaten to the board for a long memory."
"Child, you don't care, your aunt will leave such a root. If he enters the yamen and changes to someone else's board, he will probably not be able to get out. Hey, how did they get caught? “
"They were spotted by the street patrol during the curfew, and they came back to the princess's mansion to look for something."
"Then your aunt must have encountered some difficulty, otherwise the eldest princess is a cautious person like your father, and she will never rush into the imperial city. Do you know where they live in the country? “
"I asked, but my aunt didn't say that we would meet again if we had a chance. Hey, master, what is written on this silk cloth, there are not many words that Yuqing can recognize, it seems that it should be a holy decree, but it is different from the current holy decree. ”
"Child, this is the decree of the previous pilgrimage, and it was written on silk cloth at that time. Unlike the current holy decree of the four dissimilarities, it is like child's play, and it is no different from farting like what the new emperor said. The old man took the silk cloth and unfolded it, and stood up in surprise after just one look. His hands were also trembling with excitement, and he looked at Yuqing speechless.
"Master?"
"Child, Master Rong slowed down. Child, this is the edict of the emperor of the previous dynasty, and the date should be the year when your father took over your grandfather's class and went to guard the border fortress. The edict said that he would pass on the throne to your father after a hundred years, but unfortunately your father was framed by a traitor and his life and death are unknown, and the old emperor also died in vain. Now that I have figured out everything, it must be that the content of this edict was leaked, so that your father was calculated, and the old emperor was killed. ”
"Master, do you have many brothers in my father? Who will count him? ”
"Child, there are more than a dozen brothers in your father's generation, and few of them have died in the palace these two times. Your father is the third in line, and there are the crown prince and the second prince on it, and now they are gone. There are too many under your father, and anyone can be the one who framed your father. The new emperor is the eighth prince, who used to be a slippery prince, and the virtuous concubine was not favored, and it was rumored that the eighth prince was not the emperor's species. ”
"Master, it's not that the rumors are true, the new emperor's mother is still alive......" Yuqing talked about the few people who escaped from the Yuanwai Villa, as well as the secrets of the court they said.
"So that's the case, if you really answer the sentence, there is no wind and no waves, and that woman must tell her to live well."
"Master, Yuqing thinks so too, she's stupid and stupid now, and she's asking her to recover her sanity when necessary, she's an indispensable dark chess move for us."
"Kid, it stands to reason that we should have left the city sooner."
"No, in the morning the apprentice saw the head of the courtyard, and he said that our guide is only valid for the day. The apprentice thought that this was the new emperor's idea, leaving us in the palace for fear of ghost revenge, and he was unwilling to let us out of the city. The apprentice was sure that even if we left the city immediately yesterday, we would have been stopped back. ”
"Otherwise, the new emperor's decision is like a fart, and turning his face is like turning a book."
"Forget it, looking at the current situation of plague control, the imperial city will be unsealed soon. After all, it is not a good thing that the people are panicked after the lockdown for too long. ”
Through this heart-to-heart exchange between master and apprentice, the two masters and apprentices have a tacit understanding. During this period, the imperial doctors were fooled away by the master and apprentice several times, and the imperial city was unsealed two days later. The master and apprentice left the imperial city smoothly, and returned to the villa before the grandmother's heart was put back in her stomach.
"Miss, you're back." Grandma said with tears in her eyes.
"Mama Grandma, I'm worried about you following Yuqing. In the palace, Yuqing met the eldest princess of the former dynasty, but he didn't recognize her. Yuqing avoided the important and said lightly, there are some things that Mama doesn't know will be safer.
"Not recognizing each other is also for everyone's stable life, since your father's accident, your aunt's life has not been easy, and it is not easy for her to survive these two palace changes. They still live in the Imperial City? ”
"My aunt has been kicked out of the imperial city, and I heard that she is in the countryside but I don't know what it is."
"I was kicked out of the imperial city by the new emperor, eldest lady, my aunt is afraid that she is going to get into trouble." Grandma said in an old-fashioned manner.
"It's the same as we thought, but I haven't revealed my identity to my aunt yet, and my aunt is still wary of me, so Yuqing asked my aunt and didn't say where she lived. Grandma, do you know that your aunt has relatives in the countryside? “
"Miss, your aunt was born in the imperial city and grew up in the imperial city, if there are relatives in the countryside, it should be relatives of the big horse. I heard that the big horse was the champion back then, but he came from a humble background. The specific grandmother is not clear, since she was brought to the frontier by your grandfather, she knows very little about the people and things in the imperial city. Later, your father took over to guard the country, and I went to your mother's side. “
"Sister, you're back. Is it time for our noodle shop to open, Aunt Biscuit and Aunt Biscuit have learned how to make pies with buns and dumplings. There are only a dozen days left before the Chinese New Year, and we will come back in time to earn some silver. Ye Jing and Xiaozhu also ran back and said.
"Going for a run again?"
"Well, now you don't need to take your sister with you, everyone in the villa is automatically involved, and we haven't delayed practicing these days. And Uncle Shao can already go down to the ground without a stick......"
"Jing'er, it's good news that my sister has been away for the past few days. Hurry up and eat, and then my sister will teach you a way to make pasta, which is better than steamed dumplings. I'm going to clean up the shop tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I can open the door for business. “
"Sister Zhuang Owner, neither of us has been lazy in the past few days, you see us practice the swordsmanship you taught us." Hua Lianhua Qiao'er was also very happy to see Yuqing, and when they met, they asked Yuqing to teach them kung fu. The beggars also came to report on the situation in the villa.
"Miss Zhuang, your seventh uncle is really a muddy person, she pushed down others that day and didn't even apologize, and now the people in the Zhuangzi are isolating their yard. And everyone is going to try their luck in the back mountain before the year. The Ghost Boss said.
"Uncle Ghost, in the future, there will be no need for such a thing to be organized in the villa, if you want to go to them, you can go together. We went a few years ago to try to hunt some wild boars or something. In a few days, the shopkeeper in the shop in the imperial city should come back to take account, and the villa will invite them to a reunion dinner. “
"Okay, stay behind to guard the gate, let's go. By the way, those who were captured by the imperial soldiers were released the day before yesterday, and they all suffered a lot of grievances. “
"Good thing, I'll go see them with Ye Xuan and Zhen'er later."
"Master Yuqing, you're finally back, have you seen the emperor?" Whoever said would arrive, Ye Xuan asked as soon as he entered the door.
"Master Yuqing, you are going well in the Imperial City, the Imperial City is unsealed, it must be that you and Lao Langzhong's medicine works. Is it fun in the palace? Zhen'er also looked at Yuqing and asked.
