Between life and death
The dream was so real that Wei Chi almost immersed himself in it. Dreams are dreams after all, and Wei Chi knew very well what she was carrying, and the tingling pain in her legs pulled her back from her dreams to reality.
Wei Chi frowned slightly, and when he opened his eyes, it was still endless darkness, and there was not even a maid to take care of him. I got up and sighed slightly, I couldn't sleep because of the pain right now, and I couldn't help but think about what had happened recently.
Wu Yao'an... She remembered that she seemed to hear Wu Yao'an's voice shortly after the explosion, but it was so far away... I guess I heard it wrong. But Durer didn't catch it, I don't know how she will recover this time?
But this doesn't seem to have much to do with himself, his task of protecting Wu Yaoan has ended, and he should be able to directly ask for resignation from the position of this temple tomorrow morning, and then he can travel the rivers and lakes again, and not be bound by these rituals.
Right! That's it.
This night, Wei Chi thought about his travel route, until the rooster crowed at dawn, and there was a sound of walking in the yard, and if he listened carefully, he seemed to find that there were many more people at home than before.
Wei Chi was just about to open his voice to shout, but he fainted again with a breath in his chest, and then he heard his cousin's voice shouting, and vaguely seemed to hear Wu Yaoan's voice again.
"Why hasn't this fever gone away? Have you seen a doctor? Wu Yaoan said and took his hand off Wei Chi's forehead.
Wu Yaoan glanced at the table supported by Wei Chi's legs again, got up and lifted the quilt on the table, and looked at the wounds on the other party's legs.
"After reading it, the imperial doctor only gave some prescriptions for heat dissipation, and instructed him to closely observe the leg injury." Xun Yue was so anxious that she turned around in a circle, and she had to comfort Wu Yaoan.
"Don't be too anxious, my cousin's body has always been tough, presumably because of the cold on her legs, Ouchi sent medicinal food and supplements early this morning, and I have already taken them to boil."
After Xunyue finished speaking, she gave the maid beside her a look, and the maid echoed after seeing it: "Yes, yes, Lord Shaoqing!" Now that the eldest lady needs to recuperate, let's go to the main hall and talk about something. ”
Wu Yaoan heard the meaning of their master and servant rushing away, stretched out his hand to cover Wei Chi's quilt, and said, "There is nothing to talk about, so you don't have to force the two to stay." ”
"This Lord Shaoqing is really a riddler." After Wu Yaoan walked away, he said to the maid.
"Whatever she is, come and help." Xun Yue said as she threw the veil into the bowl with the wine.
"Second Miss, what do you mean?" The maid didn't know what Xunyue was doing, but she still reached out and held Wei Chi's body.
"You went to decoction last night, this is the method given by the imperial doctor." Xun Yue said and wiped Wei Chi's armpits with a handkerchief soaked in white wine.
"It is said that if you see that your cousin has a fever and can't go on, she will wipe it with liquor, which has the effect of reducing fever."
"This time, the eldest lady who went south can be offended, it is better not to be an official." The maid covered the quilt and brought the medicine for the wound.
"Lord Tang, there is a new case?" Wu Yao'an saluted with a smug expression.
An hour ago, I just left the Eguo Mansion, and I was about to go back to my house, but I was stopped by Xiao Shi of Dali Temple, so I went back to Dali Temple.
At this time, there were only two people in the whole room, she and Tang Lin.
"It's not a new case, what happened during your trip to the south, you were called here because this matter is sensitive and can't be investigated in a big way."
Tang Lin said with a hesitant expression, as if he didn't want Wu Yaoan to get involved, but he didn't seem to be able to help but say it.
"Your Excellency, just say it."
Wu Yaoan knew that when she returned to Chang'an this time, she was already a pawn nailed to the chessboard, and the next thing was up to her.
Now there is nothing else to ask for, but to keep your heart and expose the truth to the sun.
"Banned books."
"Forbidden books!"
Wu Yaoan was a little shocked, she had also peeked at this forbidden book in the dead of night, but after reading it, she laughed it off, feeling that it was all nonsense.
But in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, I burned the book after reading it.
But now, Wu Yaoan always doesn't want to think of that passage in the banned book, she is afraid that the banned book really has the ability to predict national fortunes and heavenly events.
But even if he didn't want to remember, that passage was firmly imprinted in Wu Yaoan's mind.
'When the sun and the moon are in the sky, they shine on the earth; confusing, unliterate and unsophisticated; The body becomes empty and empty, and once re-enters the imperial palace; The roots of the branches are still there, and the chicken is ripe and male. ’
Now that person has re-entered the imperial palace, it seems that his Shaoqing will not be peaceful.
I think that when I first entered Dali Temple, my cousin was still cultivating in the temple. I thought that I could always solve the case with Lord Tang in Dali Temple, but as soon as my cousin entered the palace, I remembered her cousin.
Although the two parties did not show favor to each other, not long after the cousin was favored, the relationship between the two was spread by blood, and no one dared to attack the case she solved after that, and even went all the way to her current status.
Wu Yao'an also understood in his heart that his father was a businessman, and the support he gave to his cousin was only a few silver taels, and with her brand of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the people in the court would naturally be collected by his cousin.
Although it seems to be a win-win situation on the surface, Wu Yaoan is very unhappy that his cousin has calculated to this extent.
"Exactly the forbidden book you had in mind."
Tang Lin said and glanced at Wu Yaoan regretfully, although this book is a banned book, it is not difficult to find it, so he still knows some of the contents in it.
The sage intended to set up a concubine as the queen, and since then, the inferences in the "Tui Bei Tu" have been circulated among the people, and a few places have been confiscated, but they have not stopped. Dali Temple is busy with affairs, and I don't have time to take care of so much, and now you will be left to you to deal with it when you come back. ”
"No." Wu Yaoan received the order, but there was a drum in his heart, who did he mean by this? And to what extent?
Seeing that Wu Yaoan did not leave after receiving the order, Tang Lin spoke again: "Is there anything else?" ”
I didn't want to speak, but after thinking about the sons of those dignitaries and dignitaries I had met during the previous investigation, Wu Yaoan opened his mouth after thinking for a moment:
"What should I do if I find someone else who can't be traced?"
"The case hasn't been investigated yet, are you in a hurry?" Tang Lin smiled and touched his beard, "You ask me, I don't know what to do, let's do things first!" ”
Hearing this, Wu Yaoan didn't ask any questions, and was about to leave, but was called back by Tang Lin.
"How's Wei Chi's injury? Hear the scribe say, "You came out of the palace?" No matter how early you come to the door, you are not afraid that people will not entertain you and touch your nose. ”
"Wei Chi's injury..."Wu Yao paused, hesitated a little, and finally left with a step, "If you are worried, go and see for yourself." ”
"What about Zhao Luo? Not with you? Da Wu watched Wu Yaoan come in alone, stretching his neck to look behind the other party.
"In my house, let Full Moon and Qingxue take her to do shopping, how can she still dress like that when she comes to Chang'an City." Wu Yaoan couldn't help but snort.
Thinking of Wei Chi's injury, Wu Yaoan didn't sleep all night, and as soon as the gongs and drums began to sound in the morning, he set up a car and went to the Guogong Mansion, where could he take care of the little guy Zhao Luo.
"How's Wei Chi? The injury is still not healed, and I am a little worried after walking such a long way. ”
Hearing this vigorously said, Wu Yaoan raised his head and looked at the other party, his eyes full of doubts.
"Don't look at me like this, Wei Chi has high martial arts, and she is idle in me."
"I don't know." Wu Yaoan said as he picked up a piece of fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, comforting his empty stomach, "When I went in the morning, I suddenly had a fever, I don't know what is now." ”
Wu Yaoan said that he cared about Wei Chi, but all he thought about was the matter of "Pushing Back Pictures".
"All the words of "Pushing Back Pictures" have been spread?" The eldest grandson Wuji walked in the corridor, followed by his henchmen.
"Now the rumors among the people are getting more and more serious, but the saint has not taken any action. seems to insist on making the concubine the queen. The henchman said worriedly.
In the past few days, the eldest grandson Wuji has said that he is sick and cannot go to court, but these people are either after entering the admonition, or they are participating in the princess.
Some of them were just scolded by the sage, and those petty officials who were not deeply rooted in the court were directly demoted out of Chang'an City, and if they continue like this, I am afraid that there will be no one available to them in the court.
"Tai Lieutenant, the minister has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."
"I know what you're going to say, to be an official to achieve your position, you should learn to focus on the overall situation, and a few petty officials will be promoted when the time comes."
The henchman didn't continue to speak when he heard this, since the Taiwei insisted on doing so, then he also received the order to carry it out, as long as the Taiwei in front of him was there, the pillar was there.
"But if that concubine becomes the queen one day, not only will the affairs of the harem be controlled by her, but even the affairs of the court may not be of any use to us."
"The minister understands, but there is one more thing."
Hearing this, the captain turned around and looked at his henchman with some dissatisfaction, this person's neat-tongued eight horses couldn't catch up when he was admonishing in the court, why did he now swallow like the old cow plowing the field.
"Although the saint has nothing to do with the "Tui Bei Tu", there seems to be some movement in the princess's mansion."
Hearing this, the captain looked up at the dead wood on the other side of the lake, and suddenly laughed: "It's really hard to come by. ”
The eldest grandson Wuji knew that the sage did not deal with Gao Yang because of the Jingzhou incident, and sent his subordinates to find Dure, ready to use this chess piece to catch the other party, but she never imagined that she would bump into it herself.
"Add another fire to the princess's mansion." The eldest grandson Wuji turned his head and said proudly, "I heard that she suddenly liked the deduction before, but I didn't expect it to be true?" ”
"It's true, Princess Gaoyang has recently gotten closer to Chen Xuanyun, the court order. even asked Chen Xuanyun to serve her in the forbidden palace and pray to the ghosts and gods. ”
"She wants to peek into the sky? Could it be that he still misses the man who divided the corpse of the five horses? I really don't know if it's affectionate or stupid. ”
There should be no feelings in the main family, the eldest grandson Wuji stretched out his hand and waved twice, signaling that the henchman could leave to run errands.
