Chapter Eighty-Five: Return to the Palace Safely
Mu Jingyuan's next move shocked everyone present. He knelt down in front of the shopkeeper without warning, grabbed the hem of the shopkeeper's skirt with both hands, and pleaded: "Shopkeeper, I beg you to take us in here for one night, and I will pay back the money twice in the future!"
With the support of a strong man, the shopkeeper also has some meaning of being a villain, without the slightest sympathy, and deliberately freezes there without speaking. Then he simply turned around and went back to the room where he was resting.
deliberately let Mu Jingyuan kneel in front of everyone for a long time, and then the shopkeeper sent Xiao Er to say to Mu Jingyuan: "It is our rule to give money first and then live in the hotel, if you don't have money, you can't even enter the door of this inn." But the shopkeeper thought you were pitiful, and allowed you to spend the night in the stable. ”
Mu Jingyuan's hands were clenched into fists, and his palms were almost soaked with blood because of the strength of his fingertips, but his face showed great gratitude, and he thanked Xiao Er again and again.
Although the smell of the stable is unpleasant, it is also a shelter from the wind and rain. Mu Jingyuan placed Ye Ningxiang on top of a pile of withered grass, and tightly covered her body, holding Ye Ningxiang's hands tightly, and kept praying in her heart. In such a wilderness, even if he has thousands of family fortunes, he can't find any magic doctors, and now he can only resign himself to fate, praying that Ye Ningxiang can survive this most difficult night.
"Xi Ze, Xi Ze ......" Ye Ningxiang, who was in a coma, unconsciously kept repeating these two words. At first, Mu Jingyuan only thought that she was moaning in too much pain, because she said it too many times, Mu Jingyuan couldn't help but be curious, and finally heard the name she had been shouting in a coma turned out to be his worst enemy, his third brother Mu Xize.
He turned his back very angrily and beat the withered grass on the ground vigorously to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart, but thinking of Ye Ningxiang's kindness of sacrificing his life to block the sword and receiving a slap for himself, his previous anger was also reduced by half, he looked at Ye Ningxiang again, and gently stroked her forehead, while whispering: "What is so good about the third brother, worthy of your nostalgia?"
In the middle of the night, no one should have appeared outside the remote and dilapidated stable, but at this time, there was a real person in the stable.
This man was full of white hair and had a rickety figure, and he looked like an old man, but the old man's face was so young that he didn't even see too many wrinkles. Even if Mu Jingyuan had seen this person before, he would definitely not recognize the person in front of him at this moment as the person he had seen more than a month ago.
This person is the miracle doctor Song Tianweng, who was convinced by the palace overnight, transformed four ugly girls into beauties within a month, and was finally sentenced to death on suspicion of killing the four princesses Ning.
Since being rescued by Rumo, Song Tianweng no longer dared to show his true face, so he relied on his superb plastic surgery skills to change his face. So he has a hundred-year-old figure, fifty or sixty years old, although it is a little strange, but no one will ever recognize him as the divine doctor Song Tianweng.
Quietly hid in Jing'an City for more than a month, and only when the rumors of his case passed, did he dare to leave Jing'an, and happened to stay in this inn on the way to escape. Just after dinner, about to lie down on the bed to rest, Song Tianweng suddenly heard that there seemed to be some kind of dispute downstairs, and the noise made him upset.
He closed the door tightly, not wanting to pay attention to these troubles, but he didn't want the sound insulation of this inn to be really bad. The wall on the inside of his bed was connected to the next room, and next door lived several Jianghu people led by strong men.
"Big brother, you taught that kid too much lesson today, after all, people are also trying to save his injured lover. ”
"How can there be a hotel that doesn't give money, I do this to let him know how to abide by the rules and remember it for a long time in the future. ”
"But on such a cold night, the two of them live in the stable, and I am afraid that the seriously injured girl will not survive tonight!"
"Alright, don't be nosy, sleep!"
Probably just walked away from the ghost gate, he, a centenarian who should have understood life and death, had a new understanding of life, and a voice kept reminding him in his heart: He should save her.
When he walked to the stable, the scene in front of him shocked him so much that he almost lost his breath, the man with scars on his face and tattered clothes was the current emperor, and lying next to the emperor was Ye Ningxiang, the palace maid who found him into the palace and took care of him everywhere.
"What is the reason why Uncle is here?" Mu Jingyuan looked up at Song Tianweng, he wanted to call him grandfather, but looking at the few wrinkles on his face, he temporarily changed his words and called him uncle.
Song Tianweng pretended to be nothing, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "I heard that there was a wounded young man with a dying woman who lived in the stable because he had no money, so I wanted to come and have a look. ”
Mu Jingyuan heard Song Tianweng say this, and felt that this person had come to see his jokes, so he turned his face away with some anger and didn't bother to talk to him again.
"Come and see if I can heal this girl. Song Tianweng deliberately paused for a moment before saying the second half of the sentence, still selling the magic of his medical skills as always.
"Uncle understands medical skills?"
Song Tianweng nodded smugly and said, "Childe can carry this woman into my room, and I will treat her." ”
"Really?" Mu Jingyuan kowtowed to him three times in a row with great gratitude, and said several times in a row: "Thank you Divine Doctor, thank you Divine Doctor!"
Kowtowed to thank him by the Ninety-Five, Song Tianweng felt uncomfortable, and deliberately turned around to cover up his weak expression.
Song Tianweng's room was not big, only a single bed, and Ye Ningxiang was lying there at this time, unconscious.
Song Tianweng took his own medicine box, and there was a well-packaged cloth bag in the mezzanine of the medicine box, and when he opened the cloth bag, it contained silver needles of various sizes. Song Tianweng took out a silver needle of general size and burned it at the flame of the oil lamp for a while, and then quickly and accurately pierced into an acupuncture point on Ye Ningxiang's head, and then took out several silver needles and pierced them into different acupuncture points on Ye Ningxiang's body.
Then Song Tianweng smiled comfortably and said, "This blood has stopped, and then I have to ask Gongzi for a favor." ”
"If you need help, just tell me!"
"Help me take off her top. ”
"What, what?"
Mu Jingyuan thought that Song Tianweng wanted to use himself to beat him, but he didn't expect to do such a simple and rude thing by himself, and he was so surprised that he took two steps back again and again.
"I don't look at you like you've never touched a woman, just take off your shirt, and it's not really happening, what are you doing so nervously. If the blood-stained clothing had not been stripped of her body sooner, she would have died soon from an infected wound. If you don't do it, it's up to me, an old man. ”
"Good, good, I'll do it, I'll do it. ”
Mu Jingyuan felt that it was better to destroy Ye Ningxiang's innocence in his own hands than in the hands of this old man, so he half-squinted and shyly opened Ye Ningxiang's clothes.
However, he didn't have much to pick it up, and he heard Song Tianweng stop it. "Okay, no need to take it off. ”
"That's okay?" Mu Jingyuan wanted to say that the clothes were still above the chest, but he always felt that it was not good to ask like this, so he held back.
"I just want to show her wounds, and I don't mean to ask you to take off her clothes. Song Tianweng said in a tone of teaching children. As he spoke, he took out his unique set of strange instruments from the medicine box, and then, as he did when he reformed the ugly girl, he put a silver needle with a transparent silk thread, sprinkled an unknown medicinal powder on the needle, and roasted it on the fire for a while.
"I'm going to start dealing with the wound, you go outside and avoid it first. ”
"Yes, yes. After Mu Jingyuan replied respectfully, he quickly retreated outside the house, touching his cheek, which was already hot as if it was cooked. However, seeing less than one-third of Ye Ningxiang's upper body, Mu Jingyuan was so shy that he felt a little disgusted with his incompetence.
Half an hour later, Song Tianweng completely stitched up Ye Ningxiang's wound, and said very sincerely: "The night is cold, let this girl rest on my bed!"
Mu Jingyuan bowed respectfully and thanked him: "Thank you to the divine doctor, dare to ask what the divine doctor's name is and where he practices medicine, Ah Jiu will definitely repay the divine doctor's life-saving kindness." ”
"Quacks in the countryside are not enough to return. After saying that, Song Tianweng sat down on the chair, closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.
Because he was too tired, Mu Jingyuan fell asleep on the side of the bed unconsciously, and when he woke up, he found that Song Tianweng had already disappeared without a trace, and there was still a note on the table: The injury is not serious, just take more qi and blood medicine.
Ye Ningxiang coughed dryly, slowly opened her eyes, and found that she was lying on a warm and comfortable bed at the moment, with a thick quilt on her body, and asked with doubts in her heart: "Where is this?"
"Rooms. A kind doctor saved your life and gave us the house to live in, but he was gone. ”
"That's a pity, if he doesn't leave, Ning Xiang will definitely thank him in person. ”
"How are you, are you feeling better?"
"It's much better, the wound isn't so painful. ”
It was probably close to noon, when the weather was the warmest, Mu Jingyuan left the inn with Ye Ningxiang on his back and walked towards the nearest foothold, the untouchable village.
After walking for more than 20 miles to the north, Mu Jingyuan finally saw the traces of the untouchable village, and was driven by a strong idea to run hard to the entrance of the untouchable village.
When the villagers saw that the benefactor, who had helped them for a while, was now unkempt and scarred, they all showed concern and offered to ask him to stay in their home to recuperate.
In the end, Mu Jingyuan still chose to return to the room where he had been living before, the house of Village Chief Bai.
On the second day, Mu Jingyuan sent a teenage child to secretly leave the untouchable village to find Lin Shicheng in the General's Mansion, asking him to bring someone to bring him back, but it was very unfortunate that Lin Shicheng had recently inspected the army and was not in the mansion.
Mu Jingyuan thought that he had fallen into such a situation, if he was known by the people in the court, he would make a big fuss, he would think that he was an incompetent monarch and defected to the hostile party, if his enemies knew, it would inevitably be another lore, and finally Mu Jingyuan decided not to send people to deliver letters, and quietly accompanied Ye Ningxiang to recuperate in the untouchable village.
After more than ten days of recuperation in the untouchable village, Ye Ningxiang's body has recovered a lot, and she has the strength to walk alone. So on a sunny day, Mu Jingyuan drove an open-top simple donkey cart and drove Ye Ningxiang towards the palace.
Since the Duanwang case, the palace guards have been peaceful, and nothing unusual has ever happened, but today's events are extremely abnormal. A young man dressed in coarse linen drove towards the palace in a donkey cart that was almost falling apart, and on the haystack lay a woman also dressed in coarse linen.
The guards couldn't help but pull out their long knives and point at Mu Jingyuan, shouting: "Where did the ignorant junior dare to spread wild at the gate of the palace!"
Mu Jingyuan got out of the car very calmly, his eyes suddenly became gloomy and terrifying, and his voice was not loud, but it was terrifying.
"Why, don't you even recognize who I am?"
