Mo Li stepped into the hall with a calm expression.
Although he saw Liu Dan and Gong Jun, he didn't show any surprise, and walked away as if he didn't know them.
A shadow flashed by his feet, Mo Li watched the cat rush out, thinking that Meng Qi didn't lie to him.
Meng Guoshi claimed to be able to lead the prince's cat out. Mo Li was skeptical at first, and agreed that Meng Qi would not be allowed to change back to his original form. As a result, when the facts were in front of him, Mo Li had to think about how many raccoon slaves Meng Qi had played hide-and-seek with.
Have you been chased out of experience and out of countermeasure skills
"Divine Doctor... Oh no, the doctor here, please." Director Chen said respectfully, last time Mo Li said he didn't like the title of "Divine Doctor". Although the people in the East Palace didn't say it face to face, they still called it that way behind their backs.
After all, they knew how sick the prince was.
The ink carp dragged people back from the gate of hell.
Although this genius doctor always went up and down, and did not enter through the palace gate, but Director Chen still instructed the servants and the palace maids early, and when it came to the appointment for a follow-up consultation, he could not wait to look forward to it outside the palace.
Before Mo Li entered the gate of the hall, the tea room who got the news quickly took the prepared high-grade tribute tea and poured boiling water into it.
Take the tea for the second time, fill it in a thin hibiscus cup, and place it on a carved red lacquer plate. From the tea room in the side hall to the main hall, the hands of three people were changed in a row, and the movements were fast and silent. Finally, the big palace maid, Yu Lan, took the tea tray and hurried forward to send it to Mo Li.
At this time, Mo Li just put down the medicine bag and washed his hands in the basin sent by the palace servant.
He directly used internal force to dry the water droplets, without taking the soft cloth next to the water basin.
The maid had already placed the round stool beside the prince. This position was just right for Mo Li to diagnose the prince's pulse. At the same time, he also moved a small peach wood table with ground ink and pen and paper in addition to the tea cup.
This series of movements was fast and swift, without the slightest error, and Liu Dan and Gong Jun were shocked.
Gong Jun is okay, Liu Dan is not from the martial arts, he only knows that Mo Li is very skilled in medicine, and the medicine prescribed for him is good for internal injuries, but Liu Dan has no idea how advanced this medicine is.
Ordinary people have an habitual idea that the people with the best medical skills in the world should be in the Tai Hospital. It is also customary for high-ranking officials and families in the capital to invite imperial physicians to come to their homes to treat illnesses.
A person with a low rank is not qualified to use a famous letter to ask an imperial doctor. According to the regulations, an imperial physician only sees a doctor for the family members with official orders and the heirs who have passed down the rank. Take a pulse.
Liu Dan was reluctant to deal with imperial physicians for some reason, so the doctors he met, excluding those from the civilian population, were the doctors in the military tents in the northern Xinjiang.
Seeing the people in the East Palace put on such a posture, General Liu instantly understood.
It wasn't Meng Qi who beat the emperor, but Doctor Mo
Mo Li couldn't guess how long Meng Qi could hold the cat. Now that there were two acquaintances in the hall, he didn't want to explain any more, so he simply did not say a word and directly checked the pulse of the prince.
The prince did not speak, and everyone did not dare to say a word.
The palace servants ignited the prepared wormwood, and the hall was filled with the smell of herbal medicine.
About half an hour later, Mo Li released his hand.
"The disease is in the heart, and exhausting the mind will aggravate the disease."
Mo Li didn't scold the patient for not taking good care of the rest like ordinary doctors. Like the prince, as long as he was still alive, there would be endless things to worry about.
"Even though you have thousands of troops and thousands of horses in your hands, and you have a lot of talents under your command, there are many things that cannot be solved in a court of great promise. Nothing can be done overnight, once and for all. When it is time for your Highness to rest, you still have to rest."
As soon as Mo Li finished speaking, Director Chen nodded again and again, wishing to persuade the prince immediately.
Yu Lan lowered her head and asked: "I don't know what the doctor said... How long should you rest every day? Your Highness thinks more and sleeps less, and wakes up every hour. Once you wake up, it is difficult to fall asleep. It's stopped now."
The ink carp frowned slightly, but did not speak directly. Instead, he picked up a pen to write down what time to eat every day, and what to eat and what to avoid. He also drew a picture in detail, asking people to massage some acupuncture points, which can cause illness. Suffer from sleep.
"In addition to the three-a-day medicine, do not take other tonics or sleep decoctions."
Mo Li said while writing, the strokes are clearly identifiable handwriting, and unlike ordinary people, it does not pay attention to the format and the overall smoothness of the font, and some words are deliberately enlarged to make it clear at a glance.
Mo Li pondered the pulse condition just now, and suddenly asked, "I have been worried too much in the past two days, why?"
"...Ashamed." The prince was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
He originally thought that the younger brother of the sixth emperor was very intelligent, even if he had a perverse temperament, compared with the recklessness of the second prince and the indecision of the third prince, he seemed to be just a child's temper. Maybe Lu Zhang would be dead, so the crown prince was going to leave the jade seal to the sixth prince, but now he is greatly disappointed.
It is said that adversity sees people's hearts, but in fact, even in adversity, one can see a person's talents.
The sixth prince lacked courage and courage, and was really not a good candidate to inherit the throne.
But disappointment is disappointment, the prince did not talk about his brother's shortcomings in front of others, he just shook his head with a wry smile.
Manager Chen was wrong, he hesitantly asked Mo Li: "Doctor, look at this ceremony of enthronement..."
Lu Zhang was already dead, and the crown prince should ascend the throne as soon as possible to stabilize the court situation. However, the problem also lies in this. Whether it is the death of the previous emperor or the enthronement of the new emperor, there is a set of extremely cumbersome etiquette.
To go to the Taimiao, to sacrifice to the sky, and to accept the kneeling and worship of civil and military officials.
That's all, the main reason is that the crown is so heavy that it has to be worn all day long. People with a slightly weaker physique can't bear this kind of pain, let alone the prince who is seriously ill.
In the past, when this happened in the palace, it was filled with tonics and ginseng tablets. Even if the servants were on the rack, they had to go through the whole process, but the prince could not do that.
- There is no foundation to toss.
Mo Li didn't know how long the enthronement ceremony would take and what steps it would take, but after hearing such a rough statement from Director Chen, he immediately vetoed: "Absolutely not."
Now that the prince can't even blow the wind, he still wants to go to such a high altar to worship the heaven
If you can't go in person, you have to find someone to replace it.
Manager Chen looked at Liu Dan and Gong Jun embarrassedly, thinking that these are the people the prince has recently valued, but now the prince has not asked them to retire, indicating that apart from "living soon", other words should be able to say in front of them. of.
"Doctor, slaves have heard... There is a thaumaturgy called disguise on the rivers and lakes?"
"Want to find a substitute for the prince?"
Mo Li subconsciously glanced at Gong Jun, the latter's expression froze, and he quickly stood up to save Mo Li, and by the way, he also wanted to express that this was definitely not his own bad idea.
"Mr. Chen, the so-called disguise is just a few tricks. Because people are good at identifying people by their clothes, so those who are willing to hide their whereabouts will change their outfits, change their accents, and use charcoal or coal ash to slightly modify their eyebrows and eyes. Wearing a few more clothes to change your body shape, a simple disguise is to make yourself not like yourself. Even if disguise masters pretend to look like something and are rarely exposed, they will not pretend to be a specific person, and they will not be able to give Change your face."
Manager Chen heard the meaning of Gong Jun's words, and said quickly: "During the sacrifice, only the people from the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian were the closest to His Highness, and it was difficult for them to see His Highness's face clearly.
"Even so, in the situation of ascending the throne, can the person who replaces His Highness calm down and not panic?" Gong Jun still objected, he suggested, "It's better to wait until His Highness is in better health."
Director Chen's expression changed slightly, and the maids and maids stood with their hands lowered. Although no one spoke, Gong Jun felt an ominous meaning. He looked suspiciously at the crowd, and then quietly looked at the prince.
- Could it be that the crown prince's illness will not heal
However, the appearance of the prince now does not look like he has a long lifespan, which makes Gong Jun unable to confirm his guess.
Compared with Gong Jun, Liu Dan was even more embarrassed. Jin Yiwei is the emperor's confidant. The prince who is about to succeed the throne revealed some secrets to Gong Jun, which means trust, but he is different. For a general who leads troops abroad, it is not good to know too much. At this moment, what he says is inappropriate, and he can only pretend to be deaf.
At the same time, Liu Dan was also very puzzled. He didn't understand what Lu Yu was thinking. How could there be an emperor who didn't want to go to the enthronement ceremony and had to find a substitute
"Since His Highness has made up his mind, Wei Chen will look for a suitable candidate." Gong Jun said helplessly, at the same time worrying in his heart, this substitute is really hard to find.
First of all, you need to be similar to the prince, and then you need to change your accent, so you can imitate the prince and say some simple things. But it doesn't need to be too similar, anyway, the prince is not well.
Using this excuse, all ceremonies can be simplified, and talk less if you can.
Even if someone suspects, as long as they are not exposed on the spot, they can be fooled—bah, what a messy errand! Gong Jun can already predict that the matter will be exposed, the future emperor will not do anything, the censor will definitely put the tyrant's hat on his head.
Gong Jun concealed his expression very well, but the prince seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Second Commander Gong doesn't need to worry, as long as he takes Zhang Xiang's party and the rest before the enthronement ceremony, the rest Not enough to worry about.”
Gong Jun was refreshed when he heard the words.
That's right, Jiang Xiang's eyes are dim!
The other six important officials must be in danger because of Zhang Xiang's downfall, and they are afraid of the new emperor in their hearts. Even if they perceive something wrong, they will not dare to speak up. Especially on the day of the enthronement ceremony, there must be a heavy blockade by the Imperial Guards. The whole journey from the imperial city to the Temple of Heaven is under the control of the prince. As long as the arrangement is properly arranged, it is completely possible to change people unconsciously. Appeared, boarded Dan Chi and sat on the throne to accept the congratulations from the officials.
Thinking of this, Gong Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and then he realized that something was wrong.
Collecting evidence to overthrow Zhang Xiang was originally just an errand given to him by the prince, but why did it suddenly become something beneficial to his career? Now it's impossible to think about it without trying your best.
Gong Jun gave the prince a complicated look, bowed his head and cupped his hands, "Thanks for your suggestion, Wei Chen retire."
As he said that, he bowed and stepped back, thinking that if he didn't leave again, he might even be cheated by the prince.
Those who practice martial arts have good ears and eyesight, and as soon as Gong Jun left the palace gate, he heard the prince ask the inner servant, "Go and find out where Ah Hu has gone. Today, I originally wanted to let the deputy commander of the palace take it back, but it seems that I can only do it. Another day."
What
Gong Jun paused, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.
"Ahu is obedient and considerate, why did His Highness send it away? Even if His Highness... has no time to take care of it, there are still slaves and others."
Coincidentally, the spotted cat just came back. It stopped at the porch and watched Gong Jun. The cat and the cat looked at each other. Under the careful care of the people in the East Palace, this raccoon slave has smooth and smooth fur, a strong figure, and deep eyes. It looks both soft and dangerous.
"… "
Li Nu couldn't understand what people said, but Gong Jun felt a boundless guilty conscience. He didn't dare to listen any more, and hurried away in three steps.
Ah Hu flicked his tail and walked slowly into the hall. When he passed by Mo Li, he smelled the same smell as someone on the beam just now, and immediately began to bark in dissatisfaction. The latter silently raised his inner strength, Be prepared to step back when something goes wrong.
"Ahu."
Hearing the prince's voice, Ah Hu turned his head and left.
Mo Li relaxed a little. He was smoking and roasting silver needles with wormwood, calmly reminding the prince that it was time for acupuncture.
Liu Dan took the opportunity to retire, but the prince looked at him and said, "General Liu, there is someone you've been wanting to see for a long time." After speaking, he motioned the palace servants to take Liu Dan to the side hall.
Liu Dan paused, almost thinking that Meng Qi was waiting for him over there, and then all this was already calculated by others.
The prince had long been rebellious, and even attracted the former state teachers. They set their sights on Zhang Xiang and the gold mines of Shilang Mountain, and started from Jin Yiwei's secret subordinates. time to meet.
impossible…
Liu Dan thought subconsciously, his mind was in a mess, and when he stepped into the side hall and saw the people behind the screen being held by a few Jinyi guards, he instinctively touched the saber on his waist.
As a result, of course, it was empty, and it was impossible to bring weapons when meeting the prince.
"It's you!"
This timid person is the Li Yuan envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital.
He was obviously not having a good time these days. His clothes were crumpled against his body, with a few blood stains on the front of his clothes. His eyes were horrified, and he shivered every time he saw the blood on his clothes.
The blood belongs to the emperor, of course it should be called the late emperor nowadays.
Imperial Physician Li watched as the prince ordered Jin Yiwei to push him away from the emperor's bed, and then Lu Zhang was killed by the sword. Imperial Physician Li fainted on the spot.
After waking up, he was locked in an abandoned palace, and also his colleagues in the imperial hospital and the close palace servants of the former emperor's palace were also unlucky.
In the next few days, those palace servants were released one after another, leaving only a few imperial physicians.
The guards did not cut them to eat and drink, nor did they interrogate them, but the fact that the prince was about to ascend to the throne still frightened them and kept them in a panic.
This morning, an imperial physician could not stand the hanging beam and committed suicide. The Guards discovered it early and did not die.
When Li Yuanshi was taken away, he still felt relieved, whether it was life or death, there was always a joy.
Then he found out that he was in the East Palace. Although these Jinyiwei ignored him, he still had a glimmer of hope. He was the person with the highest medical skills in the imperial hospital, and he was highly valued by Lu Zhang at the beginning, but now that arrogance has returned, and imperial physician Li felt that the prince might still be able to use his own. able to escape.
He waited uneasily for a while, only to hear a call from outside, "The magician is here."
Imperial Physician Li almost jumped up from the stool, and was then forced back by Jin Yiwei's cold eyes.
During this period, he also heard a sound from the beam, but when he looked up, there was nothing.
Imperial Physician Li was already frightened, and any noise could frighten him.
After a long time of trembling like this, footsteps finally came from outside the door. Imperial Physician Li tried his best to squeeze out a smile and thought for a few words, but it was Liu Dan who came in.
"you… "
Imperial Physician Li was stunned for a while, but was unable to react when he saw Liu Dan's face full of anger.
Seeing him like this, Liu Dan knew that Imperial Physician Li didn't take what happened back then, or even took it seriously, which made him even more angry.
A few years ago, Liu Dan was rescued and injured, and the emperor ordered the imperial physician to come to diagnose and treat him.
At that time, Liu Dan had no soldiers under his command and could only live on salary and rewards from the emperor. Imperial Physician Li was not an envoy of the Imperial Physician at that time. Every time he took this job, he always disliked the "hard work" that Liu Dan gave was not enough, but it was something that the emperor personally asked, and he could not shirk it from the imperial physician. low-ranking medical officer. Imperial Physician Li was very dissatisfied with this. Later, he was instructed by some courtiers. Knowing that someone wanted to suppress the military general who suddenly jumped up, he accepted the ceremony smoothly, and then perfunctory when he was treating Liu Dan's injury.
Anyway, the injury is healed, and the surface seems to be healed. As for why it cannot be restored to the way it was before, it is because the injury is too serious.
Liu Dan was injured on his waist, abdomen and forearm. Failure to heal would prevent him from exerting force when holding a weapon, and it would also affect his riding.
- If a general cannot kill the enemy on the battlefield, what value is there
Fortunately, Liu Dan's military exploits were killed by the Northern Xinjiang with one knife and one shot, and he was not injured once or twice. He was very experienced in how to recover wounds, otherwise he would end up in a vain title.
Although it was discovered that Imperial Physician Li was harassing him, it was difficult to report this to Lu Zhang, not to mention that Lu Zhang believed in this Imperial Physician very much at the time. Slow, it's not that the medicine used in the prescription is poisonous, and it can be said clearly in three or two sentences.
If you want to point out the thoughts and actions of Imperial Physician Li, you must at least have a highly respected Xinglin Sage in order to convince everyone. Where does Liu Dan go to find someone? In addition, he knew that there were people behind Imperial Doctor Li, so he endured it.
When Liu Dan recovered from his injuries and became the emperor's confidant, and when he was even more eye-catching in the court, the requests for marriage from various families followed one after another. Imperial Physician Li and the plot against him that day were put on hold. There were too many knives flying in secret, and it was impossible to find out.
This does not mean that General Liu has forgotten.
Seeing Imperial Physician Li flinching, Liu Dan clenched his fists, restraining himself not to punch him in the face.
Director Chen followed and walked in, smiled and took out a document and handed it to Liu Dan.
"General Liu, this is Jin Yiwei's investigation of what happened back then. His Royal Highness Prince Li handed over this document to you along with Li Yuanshi, and you can handle it as you please."
Imperial Physician Li finally remembered something, and his face turned pale.
***
In the main hall, Mo Li received the silver needle and said solemnly: "Although the prince has been worrying too much recently, some kind of burden that has been suppressing his heart has disappeared, so his condition has not deteriorated. Next, as long as Nuanyu does not leave his body. , Don't be overjoyed and angry, and if you take care of it properly, within three months, the prince should be free of worries."
Yu Lan was overjoyed when she heard the words.
The prince opened his eyes, looked at Mo Li and said, "The doctor has a great favor to me, and I only accept a small amount of consultation fee each time, which is really unfortunate. The doctor of rare treasures does not like it, so what about the famous calligraphy and painting, and the solitary book? "
Immediately, the palace servants filed in with exquisite lacquer plates in their hands, on which were scrolls of calligraphy, paintings and books.
Yu Lan deliberately pointed to one of the plates and said that it was a few palace medical books left by Chen Chao.
Mo Li could not help but reached out and turned a few pages.
"If the doctor likes it, you can take it as much as you can. There are manuscripts in all the solitary palaces." The prince said gently.
Mo Li paused for a moment, then hesitated: "I'm traveling abroad, and I don't live in a fixed place. I'm afraid it will be damaged if I take this alone with me."
The prince was about to order someone to take out the manuscript, but Mo Li said, "Can the prince allow me to stay in the palace for three days and read through these medical books."
"What's wrong with that?"
The prince immediately agreed.
In fact, from the three princes to the maids in the East Palace, they all wished Mo Li would not leave after they settled down.
"Choose a secluded palace, prepare a good inkstone, ink, paper and pen, and then..."
The prince was stopped by Yu Lan before he could finish speaking. The palace maid first charged, and then complained, "Does Your Highness still need to worry about this? Director Chen must personally supervise and do things properly, how dare you let it go? Your Highness, what about the gods?"
Seeing that Mo Li was also frowning and disapproving, the prince smiled and said, "Okay, I'm just asking."
Mo Li put away the silver needles and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something, so he stopped and asked hesitantly, "Besides these medical books, I also want to see all the topographical records of mountains and rivers. I won't take them away, just look at them."
Although the prince was surprised by Mo Li's request, he did not show any signs of it, and agreed.
Mo Li was very satisfied with the harvest, bypassing Ah Hu, who was squatting in the corner of the hall and playing with aromatherapy balls, and left with the palace servants in a happy mood.
Over there, Director Chen got the news and immediately took someone to arrange it. When Mo Li entered the secluded courtyard in the East Palace, Yiying furnishings and books were also sent over.
The maid was still sorting out the newly hung plain curtains, and a thick blanket was spread on the ground.
The ink carp turned around in the yard, and everything was cleaned up.
Seemingly knowing that Mo Li didn't like being around anyone, these maids bowed and saluted before retreating outside the courtyard.
Mo Li silently pushed the window open a crack.
Not long after, a strong wind blew by, the windows were opened and closed, and there was one more person in the house.
"This house is much better than Liu Qiandai's mansion." Meng Qi leaned comfortably on the Taishi chair and touched the fragrant pastries on the table.
"Snapped."
Meng Qi's hand was beaten back by the doctor.
"There is hot water in the compartment, go wash it." Mo Li slowly picked up a piece of lotus cake and ate it first.
Meng Qi opened his mouth and silently went to the compartment behind the screen.
The palace servants prepared two hot pots of water, one for washing and the other for drinking.
When Meng Qi came out, there was only half of the lotus cake left on the plate, and he looked at the ink carp in shock.
The palace-made dim sum is a plate of three pieces, and it is very small, so it looks good. This half piece is still reluctantly left by Mo Li thinking of Meng Qi.
"There's something else." Mo Li looked at Meng Qi's eyes, feeling guilty for no reason.
Meng Qi directly took away the remaining walnut crisps and pea yellow, and even served them on a plate.
With food, Meng Qi returned to the style of a calm and elegant hermit, and deliberately betrayed him by saying, "Does the doctor know who the prince gave to Liu Dan?"
"Send it?" Mo Li recalled and asked in confusion, "Didn't you want General Liu to meet someone?"
Meng Qi waved his hand, and then recounted the grievances between Imperial Physician Li and Liu Dan.
The heavy gift received by Imperial Physician Li came from Uncle Huaiping's mansion. This Uncle Huaiping was actually a title bestowed by the Chu Dynasty. There were many such noble families in the Qi Dynasty. In order to show that he treats his subjects with kindness and is different from the Chu Dynasty, Lu Zhang did not do anything to them.
However, these people are all eating and drinking, and they are not as good as before, and they can't afford that heavy gift.
The prince paid great attention to Liu Dan, a military general who had made great efforts to rescue and drive. He found out about the movements of Imperial Doctor Li, but without effort Liu Dan found out that something was wrong.
The gift was not given by Uncle Huaiping's mansion at all, the prince just played a role of turning his hands and making a profit.
This property came from a local official who came to Beijing to renew his post, but this person was also used. He thought that this gift was given to a certain official in the Ministry of Personnel. Bitter cold land. That's right, this local official and Liu Dan used to know each other, and there are some grudges, but this matter really has nothing to do with him.
The person who stole other people's property and gave gifts to Imperial Physician Li by Uncle Huai Ping did not forget to put on a few more layers of disguise for himself. The person who followed the clues turned around several times among the five or six officials of the Sixth Department, and finally determined the mastermind. It's from the military.
He didn't know Liu Dansu, and he was so preoccupied because he was very dissatisfied with Liu Dan during a banquet. This situation is both gossip and a "hint" to his subordinates. Naturally, there are people who are too smart. Will help "solve trouble" and win the appreciation of Shangguan.
The thing is that it got stuck here, because among those "nothing gossip" people, there may be only one person who really doesn't like Liu Dan and wants to cause him trouble, and the other people are really talking about it casually.
This kind of thing that has no evidence and can't be identified, isn't it a bad debt
Mo Li frowned, and at the end he asked, "How did you know so clearly, did you peek at the document handed over to Liu Dan?"
"Uh, General Liu's face is wrong, I was curious for a while. Of course, the documents have been put back to him now," Meng Qi defended in a disguised manner, and quickly praised the pea yellow in his hand, which tasted very good, better than the one on the Dong Market. That shop is much stronger.
Mo Li left half a lotus cake for him. Meng Qi felt that he had to be more considerate than the doctor. He thought about it, and then kept a piece of each.
Much stronger than half a block!
"Do you have a taste, doctor?"
The pea yellow was very small and easily broken. Meng Qi held one end of it, and Mo Li didn't think much about it, and ate the piece of pea yellow with Meng Qi's hand.
Soft, sweet, and very delicate.
The taste is really good.
Immediately realizing that such a move was too intimate, Mo Li lowered his face and picked up the medical book to continue reading.
Meng Qi didn't have much regret, and quietly reached out and took the half of the lotus cake away.
"The doctor wants to see the topography of mountains and rivers, is he interested in Feihe Mountain?"
"It doesn't count. There may be vision records in other places, which are traces of dragon veins."
Meng Qi coughed lightly and said with wandering eyes, "Actually, I have read all those books, the doctor can just ask me."
"This is different. In the future, when you and I go to a mountain and river, you can print the scene recorded in the certificate. Let me think about it, there are always some shortcomings."
Mo Li thought for a while, and added: "The teacher didn't teach me to read the travel notes of Shangyun Mountain, which made me feel dazzled when I first arrived in Taijing."
Meng Qi looked a little uncomfortable, and answered dryly.
"Then you read, I'll go around the neighborhood first."
After he finished speaking, the figure flashed and walked out the window.
Sitting on the eaves, Meng Qi thought, according to this topography of mountains and rivers, it must be read, and the poems and songs of literati and writers of all dynasties and dynasties cannot be lacking, no matter how indifferent.
The more ornate the rhetoric, the better. When the doctor sees the real scenery with his own eyes, he will feel that it is nothing more than that.
Yep, that's the truth.
Meng Qi touched his purse, thinking that the palace-made dim sum tastes good, but unfortunately there are too few. Well, he still went out of the palace to buy sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and fried chestnuts with sugar.
Relying on Gao Jue's light work, Meng Qi entered the no-man's land and easily arrived near the palace gate.
Just in time to catch up with Gong Jun, the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei who had left the palace before, because he was an acquaintance, Meng Qi glanced over there.
I saw Gong Jun's brows furrowed, and he was accompanied by a Jin Yiwei, who was Cui Changxin, a confidant who had risked his escape from Taijing and came to Longpaw Peak to report to Gong Jun.
"Tongzhi is frowning, why is it?" Cui Changxin asked quietly, thinking that there was no one around.
"Alas!" Gong Jun sighed and said worriedly, "Prince is afraid that he will not live long."
Cui Changxin was taken aback and said quickly, "Why did Tongzhi say this?"
"The prince wants to send the raccoon slave raised by the East Palace!" Gong Jun slapped his left palm with his right hand and said firmly, "That's not right!"
"… "
