"Maybe it's a cool night." Chu Zhixia gently broke free of his hand and said, "I'll go back first, and you go to find Deng Mian tomorrow." Remember, don't take half a step away from him. ”

Shen Zhou was puzzled: "Why? ”

Because after Deng Mian was taken away from the Dali Temple prison by his father, he was severely disciplined and was locked up at home to think about it. There will be no danger in staying with Deng Mian, and there is no need to use force - the residual poison is amazing, if Shen Zhou does it again, and his blood and qi are vigorous, I am afraid that he will not be able to wait for the day when Chu Zhixia will bring rescue troops.

Chu Zhixia didn't blink his eyes when he talked nonsense, and said simply, "It's useful for me." ”

Shen Zhou was convinced.

——

Chu Zhixia got out of the courtyard of the sinking boat and stumbled to the study.

The study was empty, so she could only blow the fire and light the lamp by herself. But the strong pressure of panic and panic surged into his heart at this moment, and Chu Zhixia's hand trembled violently. When she lit the lights and spread out the letter, she didn't know where to start for a while.

Chu Zhixia lowered his head, and a string of tears wet the letter.

From the four years of the auspicious charm in the previous life to the thirteenth year of the auspicious talisman, the residual poison of the sinking boat has never occurred.

Why did there have such an accident, is it because she came to the imperial capital and disrupted the established "fate" of the gods?

Chu Zhixia was a little dazed, and couldn't help but tremble with fear.

After a long time, Chu Zhixia restrained his raging emotions, tore off the letter paper stained with tears, hung his wrist with a pen, and wrote word by word:

"My brother's birth is intimate:

Now in the imperial capital, everything is fine. Only the aftermath of the sinking boat was caught off guard. Yu remembered the teachings of his teacher and memorized the prescriptions. However, the world is impermanent, and I am afraid that my condition will change, which is beyond the reach of my spare strength. I hope that my brother will inform the teacher and come to the imperial capital quickly.

Sister Changle respects"

Chu Zhixia hurriedly dried the ink, sealed it in an envelope, and called the guards to instruct: "Send this letter back to the clouds secretly, quickly." ”

The guards had never seen her look so solemn, and immediately took the order.

Chu Shixia spread out another piece of paper and wrote down the prescription that he was forced to memorize when he was young.

At that time, the Sword Master just felt that she had a sharp temperament and had to polish it well, so that she would not break into a big disaster in the future, and took the constantly improved prescription as a notebook for her to copy. Who would have thought that this prescription would be able to hang Shen Zhou's life many years later.

Chu Shixia couldn't help gritting his teeth when he thought of Shen Zhou, what was this strong seed thinking about, he didn't even care about his life!

——

Deng House.

"Let me out, let me out!" Deng Mian ate and drank to his heart's content, and then began to bang on the doors and windows and shout, "Why is my father locked me?" I didn't do anything wrong, he was wrong! ”

The old butler sighed when he heard this, sat on the steps and said earnestly: "Little master, where do you know about official affairs? The master has his own considerations, even if you are angry with him, what's the matter with the Chu family all day long? ”

The more Deng Mian listened, the more angry he became, and he slammed his fist on the window, "It's not surnamed Chu, I'm already dead!" Don't think I don't know, those two assassins died in the cells of Dali Temple. They were sent by the Regent, right? ”

The old butler was frightened, "Ouch, my ancestor, don't talk nonsense!" ”

Deng Mian was about to scold again, and someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder. He slapped the hand away impatiently, but froze for a moment—not because it was as cold as a dead man, but because he was the only one in the room.

Deng Mian's eyes widened and he turned his head to see the beautiful face, and let out a long sigh of relief.

When the old housekeeper heard that he didn't scold, he began to read about Dali Siqing's kindness to Deng Mian again.

Deng Mian pulled Shen Zhou to the inner room and sat down, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?" ”

Shen Zhou took out a letter from his bosom and gave it to him.

Deng Mianhu opened the letter suspiciously, and there was a prescription in it, and a few words were written on the next piece of paper.

"Grab the medicine and boil it for Shen Zhou to drink, three times a day. Don't tell him what I mean, he can't taste the ups and downs right now. If he asks what is written in the letter, you say, "I told you to wait at home for my orders." ”

Sure enough, Shen Zhou asked in sign language the next moment: "What is written in the letter?" ”

Deng Mianxin said that this method was interesting, and Shen Zhou snatched the letter and looked at it to know what was going on. But he still honestly said according to Chu Shixia's words: "The boss asked me to wait at home." ”

Deng Mian suddenly thought of something, the reason why Chu Shixia was not afraid of Shen Zhou peeking might be...... The sunken boat is now out of sight.

He raised his hand and waved it lightly in front of Shen Zhou's eyes.

"What for?" Shen Zhou grabbed his hand.

"I thought you couldn't see it." Deng Mian breathed a sigh of relief, "What is written in the letter, you can't read it yourself." ”

After a long, long time, Deng Mian didn't dare to take a big breath, and almost suffocated himself to death.

Shen Zhoucai gestured slowly and lightly: "I really can't see anymore." ”

Deng Mian was so shocked that his heartbeat stopped.

There were two pieces of paper in the letter, and she could never have said just one word. Is there a prescription in it? ”

Deng Mian nodded blankly, and remembered that Shen Zhou couldn't see it, so he said "um".

Shen Zhou's heart swelled with a little sour helplessness, Chu Zhixia really found out, and used such a complicated means to make him take medicine.

If you don't ask him directly, why didn't he confide in the truth about the poison, I'm afraid he just didn't want to dwell on it too much, right? After all, if Shen Zhou wanted to run, at the ends of the world, Chu Zhixia would not be able to find him.

"Grab the medicine." Shen Zhou acted as if nothing had happened, "Do you know the prince?" Tell me about him. ”

"Prince...... What is there to say about the prince. Deng Mian had a splitting headache, "Otherwise, let's grab the medicine first, does it matter if you have an eye disease?" Boss, what is she thinking, why did she send you to me to drink medicine? ”

Shen Zhou tapped on the table, motioning for him to look at him.

"Tell me, Prince."

——

In the palace.

The third prince kicked Bai Ziche in the abdomen, and Bai Ziche was forced to bend down, and the picture scroll full of arms rolled down to the bluestone path. The third prince had to step on Bai Ziche's shoulders inch by inch, forcing him to kneel on the bumpy stone road.

"Third brother," Bai Ziche said in a low voice, "What does this mean?" ”

"What do you mean? I haven't settled the account with you for that painting and Dali Temple, but you dare to go to the queen mother to offer your courtesy. The third prince sneered and swept his cheek with a dagger, "Are you going to die?" ”

"The matter of that painting, the third brother has taught him a lesson. I am not asking for a reward, but I am simply apologizing to the Queen Mother. ”

"A painting is an apology? Your apologies are as cheap as you are. The third prince pinched his jaw and pinched out two crimson marks, "Why don't I break the veins on your hands and stitch them with needles and threads, so that your hands will never cause trouble again." I heard that the edict of the painting academy was in the prison of Dali Temple, and his ten fingers were nailed with bamboo sticks. Which do you think hurts? ”

Bai Ziche raised his head slightly to look at him, the corners of his eyes were scarlet as if there was blood about to drip down.

The third prince consciously pinched Bai Ziche's seven inches, and smiled proudly.

"Whose tesuji are you going to pick?"

The third prince was stunned for a moment, and then immediately knelt down firmly in the direction where the voice came from.

The embroidered gold dragon robe swept the ground, and the emperor walked slowly in front of the two with his hands behind his back. The attendants behind the third prince knelt on the ground, but they were not very afraid. Bai Ziche has always been unnoticeable, and the emperor may not stand up for him.

Bai Ziche, who bowed his head and saluted, showed a subtle smile - this is the only way for the emperor to go down.

"Why are you so arrogant?" The emperor raised his chin slightly and looked at his two sons condescendingly.

"It's the son's fault that made the third brother angry." Bai Ziche took the lead.

The emperor was a little surprised, he had no impression of Bai Ziche. This son doesn't cause trouble, and second, he doesn't have any outstanding talent, he only sees him a few times during the New Year's family banquet, and he is silent.

Bai Ziche is willing to take the initiative to speak, but it is not common.

"Why did you make your third brother angry?" The emperor glanced at the three princes, but he was asking Bai Ziche.

"The son should not have painted that picture, he has already made amends to his mother. The third brother was puzzled, so he intercepted the lesson of the son. Bai Ziche lowered his head, and his voice was steady, "Erchen has already made a mistake." ”

The third prince was stunned for a moment, and then he was covered in cold sweat, but he couldn't open his mouth to refute.

The emperor frowned slightly, and quickly realized what kind of painting Bai Ziche was talking about.

He sneered and said lukewarmly: "I thought that the queen had been accompanied by the ancient Buddha of the green lantern for a long time, and she didn't want to pay attention to these miscellaneous things. I didn't expect that I would inevitably be jealous like a mortal woman, and it seems that the queen's Buddhist scriptures still need to be carefully studied. ”

The third prince was anxious, raised his head and said urgently: "It's not like this, this is my own opinion, and it has nothing to do with the queen mother!" ”

Bai Ziche also helped: "Yes, it has nothing to do with the queen mother. The queen mother did not bother with her sons. ”

The third prince glared at him angrily and scolded: "Shut up! ”

"Enough!" The emperor stopped the three princes and said coldly, "Ziche is your younger brother, the sage said that brothers and friends are brothers, brothers and friends are in the front, and brothers and friends are in the back, how do you set an example?" It seems that the prince didn't teach you well. ”

The third prince's head was buzzing, and seeing that the emperor's fire was about to be sent to the crown prince again, he didn't know whether to speak or not.

"The father's words are serious, and the sons and daughters are not in the way." Bai Ziche patted the shoe ash on his shoulder, and said lightly, "If my father has no other arrangements, my son will go back to the painting academy first." Now there is no painting academy attendant in charge, and I am afraid that there will be villains making waves. ”

"Ziche can go back to the painting academy, and as for the Third Highness, just kneel here." The Emperor said, "Kneel until you understand that you should not despise your brother like this." ”

——

Akiba Mountain House.

There were drawers of herbs scattered in the room, and Chu Shixia rolled up his sleeves and tied his skirt, shuttling back and forth among them like a village woman farming. She grabbed the herb and smelled it for a while, and then she leaned on the table and flipped through the medical book, scratching her ears and cheeks.

Cheng Yuan pushed the door in, was caught off guard by this posture, had nowhere to put his feet, raised one leg like a fighting, and asked cautiously: "Miss, is this going to abandon the sword and change to the medical path?" ”

"Yes, isn't it immeasurable to change from killing people to saving people?" Chu Zhixia turned a page of the book irritably, "I have a prescription for medicine, and there is a blood lotus in it, which the entire imperial capital can't buy." I'm looking for an alternative. ”

"Then later, my subordinates will go to the hospital to have a look." Cheng Yuan patted his head and remembered what was going on, "Today, the third prince was punished for kneeling." ”

Chu Zhixia froze, raised his hand and threw the medicine back into the box, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Because when I was bullying the four princes, I happened to be bumped into by His Majesty. His Majesty also blamed the crown prince for teaching without a way, and the queen for being jealous. "Cheng Yuan has a relative," the third prince was punished to kneel on the palace road, and it was not until dark that the prince carried him back to the East Palace. ”

Chu Zhixia knew what was going on after hearing it.

The palace is so big, so big that Bai Ziche could walk around the emperor all the time for more than ten years ago, why was he bumped into this time? Even if it hits, it's just a reprimand, how can it be related to the queen's jealousy - there must be a reason for the painting.

"The place where the three princes are punished to kneel is the only way for His Majesty to go down to the court, right?"

Cheng Yuan recalled for a moment and nodded affirmatively.

"Bai Ziche," Chu Zhixia smiled, "It's a little interesting." ”
