Chapter 13: Life and Death (3)

In a daze, Bai Yixue didn't know how long she had been asleep, and it felt as if someone had been sobbing softly beside her. For a moment he suddenly woke up in his mind, and the man's sobbing was still there, and another person said, "Your Highness Princess, if you continue to cry like this, won't you cry your body to the detriment? Bai Yixue heard that it was Ning'er's voice.

I only heard Mo Lingsha's voice in my ear and said, "You don't care...... He...... If he had three long and two short...... I...... I don't want to live anymore......" Bai Yixue was weak, but her consciousness was very clear, seeing that she was heartbroken because of herself, she couldn't help but be greatly moved, she wanted to open her eyes, but she felt that her eyelids were heavy and difficult to open, she wanted to speak, but she felt that her throat was dry, and she couldn't make a sound, and her whole body was even weaker, and she was in pain, and she thought: "I can hear them talking, it turns out ...... It turns out that I am not dead yet. ”

Ling'er choked up and said, "Your Highness, no matter what you say, you have to eat, otherwise, he ...... It's not good yet, your own body collapses first, that's ...... How is it good to live?"

Mo Lingsha cried: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, if I hadn't been selfish and wanted him to stay by my side, I wouldn't have let him go to the palace on an errand, he ...... If you don't go on an errand, you won't get hurt...... Ling'er, you say, is it all my fault?"

Ning'er sighed: "Fortune and misfortune come together, the world is unpredictable, and Your Highness should not blame yourself too much." ”

Mo Lingsha sobbed: "He...... Hurt like this...... How can I not blame myself......? I regret dying ......."

Bai Yixue slowly recalled the scene before she was injured, and thought: "It seems that my injury is really not light, and I don't even have the strength to speak, can ...... It became a ...... Wasted?" Then he thought: "I wonder if Brother Yang Cao is seriously injured? The King of Pu'an County should be fine, is Master Lianchi still alive? What happened to the three monks? Who instructed them to come to commit murder?"

Mo Ling suddenly stopped crying and asked, "Have you invited all the famous doctors from Lin'an City?"

Ling'er said: "Yes, the doctors in the city, all those who can count the number of names, have been invited, but everyone is gossiping, discussing and discussing, saying that Bai Gongzi suffered a very serious internal injury, and he was ...... for a while There's no good way to do it. ”

Mo Lingsha said angrily: "There are so many people, they can't cure a single person, and what kind of famous doctor is they called in vain? Lemon was silent. After a while, Mo Lingsha said again: "What's going on with Brother Yang?"

Ning'er choked up and said, "I went to see it again this morning, and the situation is ...... It's still not very good. Bai Yixue's body couldn't move, but her consciousness was very clear, and when she heard it, her heart shook violently, and she fainted again, and she didn't know who was going to know.

When he was drowsy, he felt that he was helped to sit up, and then someone stretched out his palms, close to his back, and then two warm true qi, from the Sanjiao Yu acupoint and the Yishe acupoint, along the meridians, the pain on the body was instantly reduced a lot. Bai Yixue knew that the man was healing himself with internal strength, but he couldn't move, and he didn't know who it was. After a long time, he gradually felt tired and weak, and before he knew it, he fell asleep again.

I don't know how long it was, but I heard the man take a long breath, and his voice was very tired, as if he had exhausted his energy. After a while, the man slowly withdrew his palms, and Bai Yixue only felt a smooth breath, overflowing into his viscera meridians, limbs and bones, like a man who had fallen into the water, when he was exhausted, he finally climbed ashore, took off his cold and wet clothes, and lay down on the green grass, enjoying the warm sunshine, which was really indescribable pleasure. His eyes were weak, and he soon fell back into a deep sleep.

When he woke up again, he was still in severe pain, and there seemed to be light shaking in front of him, but his eyelids were heavy, and his eyes could not be opened. I only heard Mo Lingsha whispering softly: "Dulang, Dulang, we said before, you want to take me to meet Master Hu Zhuang, right? Now I haven't seen your teacher, you can't be so untrustworthy......

Bai Yixue suddenly thought of his mentor Hu Wanggui, thinking that he must be on the snowy mountain at this time, looking forward to returning to the villa as soon as possible, how could he think that he was seriously injured and his life was in danger?

Mo Lingsha said to himself again: "Dulang, don't worry, even if I go through thousands of mountains and rivers and find famous doctors all over the world, I will cure your illness and make you better." Do you remember? You once promised me that you would teach me light skills. I...... I won't let you break your word so easily. ”

Bai Yixue said bitterly, and a voice in her heart shouted: "Have I really become a waste?

Mo Lingsha said in a low voice, "Dulang, do you know? Brother Yang has improved these days. You are good brothers, he can get better, you ...... You're going to get better, aren't you? You have to have faith, you're ...... You're going to get better. ”

Bai Yixue thought to herself: "Brother Yang's life is a great blessing, God will definitely not take him away so early." Then he thought, "These days? Why these days? Have I been asleep for days?"

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard someone walk into the room quickly and say, "Princess, the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and the King of Pu'an County are here." "It's Lemon who speaks. Bai Yixue thought to herself: "The king of Pu'an is here, it seems that he has escaped this catastrophe and should be fine." The queen mother, and the emperor is coming? Am I in the palace?" suddenly recalled that Zhang Yandai, Mou Hancha and others were all tragically killed, and there was a sour feeling in my heart.

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and several people had already walked in. A hoarse voice said, "You'er, you...... You've lost a lot of weight. "It was Empress Dowager Wei who arrived. Mo Lingsha was silent, just sobbing in a low voice.

I heard a middle-aged man's deep voice say: "Jin'er, no matter what you say, you have to eat, you don't eat, grandma, her old man, and me, how can I not worry about you?"

The Queen Mother said: "Yes, Jin'er, your father works hard day and night on state affairs, and he has to worry about you every day." You have to eat for his sake. ”

Bai Yixue pondered: "Daddy, do your job with state affairs? Well, this must be the emperor today." I only heard Mo Lingsha whisper: "I...... I know, but I ...... I don't have a bit of an appetite. ”

The Queen Mother said softly: "Grandma knows, he ...... He became like this for the sake of Yu'er, he was a good boy, and his grandmother's heart was also very uncomfortable. But even if you don't have an appetite, you have to force yourself to eat a few bites, so that you have the strength to guard him, help him, and let him recover as soon as possible, right?"

Zhao Gou said: "Jin'er, don't worry, my father has issued an order to let the imperial doctors come up with the best diagnosis and treatment prescription as soon as possible, and save him at all costs." ”

Mo Lingsha said in a low voice: "Thank you, Daddy." ”

Zhao Ming, the king of Pu'an County, also said: "Thank you Daddy! This little brother was injured in order to save me." If he can't be healed, how can the child be safe?"

Zhao said: "It is a pity that such a loyal and brave person has suffered such a catastrophe. I have decreed that the court will reward all those who have made meritorious contributions to the Lord this time. ”

Zhao Ying wept and said, "Master Zhanzhi, he ...... He ......, "Zhao Gou has driven Mingqing Temple several times, listened to Abbot Zhan Zhi's explanation of the essence of Buddhism, and had a very personal relationship with Zhan Zhi.

The Queen Mother said slowly: "Brother Jiu'er, you are a family member of the sect, you are diligent day and night, and don't grieve too much and hurt your body." Abbot Zhanzhi and the old man are both cultivators, if the cultivators can't use wisdom to break through their troubles, and there is no beginning of life and death, how can they leave?" Zhao Gou is the ninth son of Zhao Ji of Huizong, so Empress Dowager Wei called him "Ninth Brother." ”

Zhao said: "Yes." ”

The Queen Mother said: "Although there are many shaves and dyes in the world, there are actually very few enlightened people who are as clear and enlightened as Abbot Zhanzhi. ”

Zhao Gou stood with his hands down and said, "Yes, the child knows, thank you for your teaching." Bai Yixue pondered: "Listening to the tone of their mother and son's speech, most of the abbots of Zhanzhi are seriously ill and have passed away. ”

Mo Lingsha said hatefully: "Daddy, have you found the three thieves and bald donkeys?"

Zhao Gou sighed and said, "The Imperial City Division is making every effort to arrest it in the city, and there is no definite news yet. ”

The Queen Mother glanced at him and said coldly: "The inspectors under Yin Fa Han are very knowledgeable and thoughtful, and they want to take people at every turn, isn't it their forte to arrest people?

Zhao Gou was counted down by his mother, his expression was embarrassed, and he was silent. The Queen Mother said: "Don't they have any clues until now?"

Zhao said: "Yes." The Imperial City Division has searched the whole city, and it is still ...... There are no useful clues. After a pause, he said to Zhao Jin: "Ying'er, what do you think of this matter?"

Zhao Ying said: "Daddy, the child thinks, those three monks look strange, they are not from Middle-earth, although Lin'an City is big, but the three of them have a great goal, if there is no excellent hiding place, it should not be difficult to find them." ”

Zhao Gou paced back and forth in the room, and muttered, "Well, Yu'er, what do you think is strange about this?"

Zhao Ying said: "The child is thinking, the three monks are strong in martial arts, and they want to sneak into the temple quietly, hide in the shadows and wait for the opportunity to hurt people, it is also easy, but that day the father and the dragon are not safe, so the child temporarily went to Mingqing Temple on his behalf, I don't know...... Where did these three monks get their message?"

Zhao Gou was taken aback, stopped pacing, and thought secretly: "Yes, I suddenly felt tired that day, so I made a temporary decision to let Yu'er go to worship on my behalf." How could the three monks get the information so quickly and wait in the temple early? A few days ago, Yin Fa Han played a secret game, and some spies from the Jin Kingdom mixed into the city, could it be that these three monks were also spies of the Jin people? Could it be that ...... They were originally coming for me?" Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, groaned slightly, and said, "What about Minghuatong?"

Someone outside the door answered: "Wechen is here." ”

Zhao Gou pondered for a long time and said: "You go to check, who are the people who went to Mingqing Temple with the King of Pu'an County that day? Are there any abnormalities among them? Remember, you must investigate secretly, and you can't startle the snake." ”

Zhao Ying was in danger in Mingqing Temple this time, although he was lucky to escape the catastrophe, but as the commander of the envoy in front of the palace, Minghua was not well guarded, and he was to blame. He was sincerely frightened, bowed down and said, "Yes, yes." The minister understands, and the minister will do it immediately. "To take a step is to rush out of the house.

Zhao said: "Wait." ”

Ming Huali turned around and stood still, and said, "What else does Your Majesty want?"

Zhao Gou said in a deep voice: "Those guards who have sacrificed their lives and martyrdom do not need to visit, their homes need to be more compassionate." Remember, start with the palace guards who are not injured, as well as the palace guards. ”

Minghua said: "Your Majesty is benevolent and sage, Rui is deeply virtuous, and Weichen is grateful." ”

When Zhao Ying heard this, she suddenly remembered Zhang Yandai, and felt uncomfortable in her heart, turned her face away, and quietly wiped away the tears in her eyes.

The Queen Mother said: "By the way, those monks in Mingqing Temple, if anything is suspicious, you can also secretly check it." ”

Minghua bowed and said: "Weichen respectfully obeys the decree of the Queen Mother. ”

After Minghua left, the Queen Mother said, "Brother Jiu'er, do you suspect that there are traitors hidden among the guards?"

Zhao Gou frowned tightly and said: "Back to my mother, at present, inside and outside the court, there are dangers, this time the traitors attacked the Mingqing Temple, we must find out the truth, and see who is so bold and reckless? ”

The Queen Mother saw that his temples were already white, the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, and she was very bitter, so she couldn't help but sigh softly, and said: "I have a handful of old bones, and I can't live long, old body, I just hope that you are all safe and sound, and I hope that my Zhao family will inherit forever, and the country will be forever." Brother Jiu'er, especially you, although the court affairs are busy, you must also handle them one by one, and it is important to maintain the holy bow, and you must not be too tired. ”

Zhao Gou listened, remembering that his mother was taken captive by the Jin people, and had been in exile in the north for fifteen years, and now the spring and autumn are high, and when he reaches the end of his life, he still doesn't know that he can be happy for a few years, and he can't help but feel sour in his heart, and he laughs and says: "Mother said that she laughed, my mother's body and bones are very healthy, and Tsubaki's age is endless." Zhao Ying and Mo Lingsha said in unison: "Grandma!"

The Queen Mother sighed again and said, "People have their own destiny, and they can't be forced." The old body, I know it myself, but it's just a day, just a day, just waiting for the moment when the oil runs out and the lamp dries up. Well, Brother Jiu'er, have you seen Xuan'er recently?"

Bai Yi Xue said in her heart: "Yes, people have their own destiny, and they can't be forced." It's just that...... It's just ...... "remembering that I am afraid that I will never see my teacher again, the grief in my heart is inexplicable, although my body can't move, my heart is like turning over the river and the sea, and it is difficult to restrain myself."

Zhao Gou frowned, and said, "Xuan'er, I haven't seen it for a few days, and I don't know what I'm messing around?"

Zhao Ying said: "The child was in danger in Mingqing Temple that day, and Brother Xuan was very worried when he heard about it, and he went to the door that night to visit the child. Brother Xuan understood the situation, and he was also very angry, saying that he must catch the murderer and punish him severely. ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Oh? Xuan'er has already gone to see you? That's good, that's good, it's good, I am very pleased to see your two brothers being close and happy." ”

Zhao Ying said respectfully: "Yes, yes." ”

Mo Ling said: "Brother Xuan's mansion, haven't you recently recruited a lot of strange people from the rivers and lakes? These people have great powers, and the Imperial City Division can't find them, maybe they can find those three bald donkeys." ”

Zhao Gou's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he looked at Zhao Ying without turning his gaze, and said, "Is there such a thing?"

Zhao Ying hurriedly replied: "The child doesn't know yet. ”

Mo Lingsha said: "Daddy, Brother Yu stays in the house on weekdays, and only knows how to read and write, listen to the piano and play cranes, how does he know?"

Zhao Gou said "oh", raised his eyebrows, and said, "Oh? So, you know it very well, then you can talk about it." ”

Mo Ling said: "Daddy, Brother Xuan invited, all of them are famous and affectionate messengers, as well as Tang Cry from the Tang Sect, the short track man from Sikong Mountain, Pi Qingtian from Lingxu Cave, Sikong Beiqiu from the Xiaoxiang faction, and Peng Dazhi from the Kongtong faction, all of whom have great skills." Brother Xuan is really capable, most of these heroes are unruly, and they are very unconvinced by each other, but when they see Brother Xuan, they all bow their heads to their ears, just like little sheep, very obedient. ”

Zhao Gou was dumbfounded, his face showed disgust, and he reprimanded: "How do you know? Don't you know that these rural villagers, idle men in the rivers and lakes, and those who are fond of martial arts and ruthlessness, which one of them is not ordinary to provoke and make trouble everywhere and dominate one side? The imperial court has always had a headache for them. If you don't go against the court, you can use it for me, and if you refuse to obey the court and become a traitor, hum, hum, you must exterminate them one by one, and you will never tolerate them. His voice was full of emotion, he turned around, and said to Zhao Ming: "Yu'er, you remember, 'The government is suppressing the strong and helping the weak, and there are no ministers with prestige and fortune, and there are no heroes in the city. Only in this way can our Zhao family's country sit firmly forever. ”

Zhao Ying stood solemnly with his hands down, and replied respectfully: "Yes, Daddy's teachings, children keep them in mind." ”

Zhao Gou turned his head and said to Mo Lingsha: "Jin'er, you have this spare time, learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and be a female celebrity, isn't it very good?" Mo Lingsha wanted to defend a few words, but seeing Zhao Gou's stern face and sharp eyes, he couldn't help but purse his mouth, and he was too frightened to say more.

The Queen Mother said: "Brother Jiu'er, the old man knows a little about this matter. Xuan'er said that the guards of the palace were all useless things, so she asked them to teach them some gun and stick kung fu. Jin'er is usually fine, go to Xuan'er to play, just pester them, learn some flower boxing and embroidery legs or something. ”

Zhao Gou smiled bitterly: "Mother, every time I say a few words to them, you will protect them, so how can I discipline them in the future?"

The Queen Mother smiled slightly and said: "Jin'er, your father is right, these idlers on the rivers and lakes are used to the mountains and wilderness on weekdays, and after a long time, it is inevitable that some rights and wrongs will be born. ”

Zhao said: "What my mother said is very true. ”

Mo Lingsha looked at the Queen Mother and secretly grimaced. The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. They had a conversation, Bai Yixue heard it clearly, and suddenly remembered one thing: on the night he first arrived at Shi's house, he chatted with Shi Zhongmo and Ling Zhaoxu at the wine table, and Ling Zhaoxu said that he had seen three strange-looking monks in Zhao Xuan's mansion, and their behavior was suspicious. The more he thought about it, the more certain he became, the person Ling Zhaoxu saw was none other than the Three Uniques of the Western Regions, and he was like in his heart: "Zhao Xuan saw that the position of the crown prince was hopeless, so he took a risk, and he was the one who was the commander behind the Three Uniques of the Western Regions." However, Zhao Gou and Zhao Ying were by their side at this time, but they couldn't say a word, and a voice in their hearts was shouting: "It's them, it's them, go to Zhao Xuan's mansion, and the Three Absolute Masters of the Western Regions will hide there......"

Zhao Ying said: "Sister Jin is right. These people in the rivers and lakes, there is inevitably some collusion between them, even if we can't find those monks, if we can help us figure out the origin of the monks, it is good. ”

Zhao said: "Hmm." I'll ask Xuan'er tomorrow. ”

The Queen Mother said: "Brother Jiu'er, you ask him well, and then let him send those people away as soon as possible." Xuan'er is stubborn, don't scold the child too much, frighten the child. ”

Zhao Gou smiled bitterly: "Yes." Mother, the child knows. ”

Bai Yixue lay on the side, shouting in her heart: "Go to Zhao Xuan's mansion to find it, go find it......" her mouth tried her best to make a sound, but she only felt that her throat was dry, and she couldn't make a sound at all, and she fainted again.
