Ah Lu's mood continued to tighten as Dong Junqin's hand tightened. Looking at those old eyes, Dong Junqin almost crushed the hilt of his sword.

However, after all, human hands are not as hard as iron, and people's hearts are not harder than steel. Emperor Xuanning snorted weakly, his eyes closed again, and the sound of slowly breathing, and finally Dong Junqin let go of the sword.

Chenyang seemed to sense Dong Junqin's tightness, and the little eunuch who had sent him out of the palace was sent out.

Chenyang took him from the dormitory to the side door, and Dong Junqin didn't listen to what he said along the way, so Ah Lu didn't know what Chenyang said. It's just about knowing that he's talking about the problem with the Pharmacy.

Dong Junqin walked a long, long way, so long that he thought he was going to be trapped in this dark labyrinth forever.

Thinking about it, he was sweating all over, but no matter how bad his luck was, he couldn't even run.

He anxiously circled around the palace porch, and finally saw the mottled vermilion door.

Dong Junqin finally felt some force in his feet, and he rushed over to open the door with force. But outside the door, it is not the blue sky and white clouds and fresh air, but the dry and dehydrated loess dust.

His eyes were dry, so Dong Junqin moved his eyelids hard to make sure he was not mistaken.

After a while, a somewhat familiar voice came into my ears: "Dong Junqin, you finally woke up!"

Dong Junqin opened his mouth, and his lips were chapped due to the heat.

The owner of the voice hurriedly came: "Don't worry, don't worry, do you want to drink water?" ”

Consciousness slowly recovered, and Dong Junqin felt sore. Especially the arms, it's like a sword training all day.

Ah Lu sat on the edge of the bed and followed the gesture of Gongde and obedience, soaked the spoon with water, and then wiped it on Dong Junqin's lips.

Waiting for the lips that were glued due to chapped to slowly stretch, she fed Dong Junqin some water little by little.

These days, Ah Lu feeds Dong Junqin water according to six meals a day, and he has long been able to make a perfect life.

After his dry throat was relieved, Dong Junqin said in a hoarse voice, "Ah Lu?"

Alu: "Yes, it's me. ”

Dong Junqin: "Here...... Be...... Where?"

Ah Lu: "Han's shopkeeper's shop." ”

Treasurer Han...... By the way, Shopkeeper Han will come to the west to receive the goods.

Dong Junqin tried to move his body, except for the heaviness and soreness, everything else was fine.

Aru helped him to stand up. Dong Junqin's first thought was his leg, and when he opened the leg of his trousers, the original wound had scabbed.

Dong Junqin looked at Ah Lu suspiciously. Aloe asked, "I came up with the idea, guess what?"

Dong Junqin wanted to say that he couldn't guess, but seeing Ah Lu's smug look, he had a "bad thought": "Could it be that stalagmite that I broke off?"

A smile froze on her face, then she pursed her lips and nodded.

In fact, Dong Junqin had already thought of this possibility before he fell into a coma, but he was tired of running for his life and had no time to grind stones, who knew that he would faint later.

Thinking of this, Dong Junqin thanked Ah Lu with some embarrassment.

Lu: "I didn't do anything, I'll help you change your towel." In the past few days, it is mainly Shopkeeper Han and Dr. Gong who have taken care of you. Oh, yes, I haven't told them you're awake yet!"

Dong Junqin sat on the bed, watched her run out excitedly, and shook his head with a smile. What is there to report to Shopkeeper Han?Where is the killer?How many days has he been in a coma?What happened during that time?That's what she should have said first.

But thinking about it again, Ah Lu has been a ghost for a long time, and she doesn't know the common conditions in the world, so it's normal to have this kind of reaction...... Isn't it normal to reassure others first?

Dong Junqin smiled, I don't know when he has become too immersed in affairs and unkind?

However, when it comes to that dripping stalagmite, it is a good thing that it can heal the wound on his leg, but Dong Junqin also has doubts because of this.

This dripping stone is different from the water hidden grass to increase the water spirit and suppress the fire, it is directly suppressing the fire spirit of the five elements. If it is used by people who practice fire and demons, the effect should be better than that of water causten, and there will be no risk of causing water poison.

However, according to the records, when the dripstone was acquired, Huangfu Lil had not yet returned to the west to inherit the title, so the supply of water cain grass had not been cut off.

Although the stone cave was not suitable for formation, according to the size of the cave they saw, the inventory of dripping stones was far larger than that of water caustoweed.

In other words, the Huangfu clan has found a substitute for the water caustic grass early on......

A vague guess slowly appeared in Dong Junqin's mind, an idea that was likely to subvert his long-held cognition.

Unfortunately, he didn't have time to think about it, and there was another sound of slamming the door at the door.

When Shopkeeper Han came in, Dong Junqin had already gotten out of bed on his own. It was about the time when his spiritual power was almost recovered, and Dong Junqin looked comfortable all over, and his face was much better.

Shopkeeper Han originally wanted Gong Deshun to take a look at it again, but seeing this scene, forget it, it's better to get an axe from another class.

However, he didn't wait for Dong Junqin's good Yanjiao, ran to such a far place in the west, and fainted with serious injuries, so the shopkeeper Han had to laugh at him: "Look, it landed in such a field." I said the emperor ...... earlier."

Dong Junqin shushed at the shopkeeper Han, not because he was annoyed, but because he was afraid that the wall would have ears.

Shopkeeper Han snorted coldly, he didn't worry about these things for a long time when he was alone, but considering that life is precious, he still lowered his voice and said: "I received news a few days ago that the emperor is going to die, and the palace urgently summoned Jiang He into the palace, but he hasn't released anyone until now." ”

Dong Junqin: "Doctor Jiang?"

In terms of medical skills, Jiang He is no worse than Dong Junqin. It's just that his internal strength and spiritual power are not as good as his.

Before, the palace would summon him into the palace, and now there is nothing wrong with summoning Jiang He. But Dong Junqin always felt that something was wrong, and he didn't know if it was because there were too many things that had happened recently that made him suspicious, or what.

Shopkeeper Han didn't have any special thoughts about Jiang He entering the palace. After all, he is now the No. 1 doctor in the rivers and lakes, and it is an honor to be invited to see the emperor.

The one who can make people talk is the Changshengtai, which is indispensable, and as a result, even the body of the Emperor Taishang can't be taken care of.

But Ah Lu didn't feel like this: "Isn't it strange? The forbidden law you have been talking about was proposed by Emperor Xuanning himself, but he recruited a group of Taoist priests to the palace?"

Shopkeeper Han explained: "The forbidden law is only forbidden to use spells in some places, and the children of official eunuchs are only not allowed to enter the Jianghu sect, but the Changshengtai is resident in the palace, and it is not considered a Jianghu sect." It's like some people go to the Tai Medical Department to study medicine, and some people go to private doctors. However, the Shang Pharmacy only accepts doctors from the Taiyi Department, and no matter how powerful the medical skills of the folk doctors are, they cannot enter the Shang Pharmacy. The two are the same truth. ”

Alu: "No, no, no, I understand what you said, but that's not what I'm talking about. The Changshengtai taught the princes and nobles the spell to prevent the recurrence of the family's rebellion, but he couldn't let go of the shallow teaching, and the teaching was deep......"

If you teach deeply, isn't it just that you have cultivated a dangerous person?

Alu: "Isn't it a contradiction? Even if you say that you can't completely ban cultivation, you only learn it under the emperor's nose...... But the Emperor Taishang was not afraid of the spell as soon as he saw it, thinking that someone wanted to harm him, so he didn't take your hand before...... Forehead ......"

Ah Lu raised his hand, Dong Junqin frowned slightly, he looked at the shopkeeper Han, and the shopkeeper Han and Gong Deshun looked out the window.

Dong Junqin rarely mentions this matter, to anyone. First, if you say it, you can't do anything, if it is heard by someone with a heart, it will inevitably be troublesome; second, the wound has been healed and there are no sequelae, and if you say it, you will make yourself unhappy, so why bother.

What's more, Alu is used to it...... It seems that since he woke up, Ah Lu has been very attentive, could it be because he heard about it?

Dong Junqin returned to the topic: "It's not really under his nose, there is a special place in the palace for the royal family and nobles to learn, and the Changshengtai Taoist Temple in the capital is also specially for the children of the official eunuchs to practice, and the palace also sends people to keep an eye on it." ”

Alu: "No, I obviously saw Changshengtai in front of him......"

Dong Junqin: "You see?"

Lu: "Well, I ...... when you were unconscious before"

Dong Junqin: "Okay, I understand. And then what do you see?"

Ah Lu: "I saw that the Taoist priests of the Immortal Terrace were gathered around the emperor's bedroom, and they were not in any special place. Although, across the wall, Emperor Xuanning is not unaware. Just the figure cast on the window paper at night made me nervous when I looked at it. Wouldn't Emperor Xuanning feel that he was being surrounded by layers of people? Wouldn't he be even more afraid?"

What Alu said, they had thought about it before. But at that time they were not very strange, and they always found some explanation.

But now listening to Ah Lu's words, Dong Junqin and Shopkeeper Han gradually have a strange sense of contradiction.

Thinking about the emperor's health all the time, is it because of this arrangement in the palace?

Shopkeeper Han: "Dong Junqin, you have to think about these things yourself." I'm good, your father is good, we're all half-loess people, it's a big deal. But you're still young and haven't started a family yet. There are also guys from Chongcaotang, although they are raised by the Dong family, but when they are really in trouble, they still take care of their own affairs, and it is not good to be implicated more. ”

Dong Junqin: ......

Shopkeeper Han: "I'm not alarmist, you know this reason." ”

Dong Junqin smiled bitterly: "What if you are clear? Do you want my Dong family to flee for no reason? If something really happens, even if I am willing to hide, the emperor will easily let it go?"

Shopkeeper Han: "Then what do you plan to do now? I will definitely help you if I can help." ”

Dong Junqin: "Out of the customs." ”

Shopkeeper Han and Gong Deshun were surprised: "You want to go out of the customs, not back to Yanjiao?"

Dong Junqin shook his head, since Changshengtai has sent a killer, the situation in Yanjiao will definitely not be good. If they don't go back, at least they don't dare to act lightly. But once you go back, you will catch turtles in the urn, and you can't run away from the heavy grass hall. At that time, Dong Junqin wants to get out of the investigation again, and the cost may be too great.

It's just that it is not easy for him and Ah Lu to get out. The Western Border Pass is now guarded by Lord Xiahou himself, as well as the patrolling Taoist priests of Changshengtai.

Spells can't be used, and the face is too easy to recognize. Shopkeeper Han really regretted that he was willing to help just now.
