It was twilight outside, and there seemed to be a layer of dark veils everywhere. Li Yuanmin couldn't see him clearly at first, so he only tentatively asked, "Doctor He?"
When the familiar face came into view, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Zhihe!"
I wanted to meet again, but Li Yuanmin was so happy that he didn't know what to do. He hurriedly stood up and went to meet him. He got up in a hurry and hurt the wound. He crookedly walked towards him.
He was full of joy, but after seeing the expression on the other person's face, he couldn't help slowing down, and the smile on his face gradually froze.
The other party had an expression that he couldn't understand, and just looked at him stupidly.
Li Yuanmin didn't know, so: "Know the crane?"
He Yunyi laughed mockingly: "Ku Di Ding and Gu Sui Cao are cold in nature, clear away heat and poison, reduce carbuncle, activate blood and relieve pain, strengthen tendons and strengthen bones. The two are excellent external medicines."
The outsider listened to the unintelligible words and Li Yuanmin was shocked, and his face turned pale: "Zhihe..."
However, He Yunyi didn't seem to care about his reaction, and only cared about himself: "But if these two are taken internally together, it will cause pain in the muscles and bones, and restlessness... This is especially true for ferocious beasts."
He Yunyi looked at Li Yuanmin quietly, his eyes seemed to be a deep black lake that couldn't be seen clearly: "I remember that I have told the Third Highness to be very careful with this external use. Wash your hands immediately after use, so as not to accidentally swallow it. I don't want to, there are hills and valleys in the chest of the Third Highness, there is no need for mere mediocrity to get in the way."
He was born in the He family, a family of imperial physicians. The He family has a keen sense of smell, which is comparable to others. No one else knows, but he is the only one who can smell the smell of the two herbs on the fierce tiger that day.
According to the "Medicine Classic", he was induced by the other party intentionally or unintentionally, and he said it casually as a talking point. How could he have fallen into the other party's plan from the very beginning.
"Zhihe..." A feeling of powerlessness hit his heart, Li Yuanmin opened his mouth in vain, "Listen to me..."
He shook his body, his heart fell into an abyss, and it was dark. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to say it—he really used him.
But he really has no choice but to live a new life. There are so few things in his hands that he can't move an inch. He can only watch himself struggling in this filth in vain, repeating the nightmare of his previous life, but He wanted to escape, so badly.
Since the day when he delivered the ointment, after Tete gave some advice, he came up with the idea of planning a tiger. In order to ensure that the plan did not go wrong, he... did have some intentional words about the medicinal properties of him.
"Zhihe..." Li Yuanmin's throat was bitter, and the bottomless bitter water submerged him, but he couldn't confide in him.
Where to say it, and how to say it.
Hearing the word Zhihe, He Yunyi swayed, and a hint of self-mockery floated on his lips.
The first time I met him, the two didn't know each other, but he called Zhihe sadly at him half-consciously, and it was this Zhihe that made him feel pity for the first time in his life. Only then did the two have their later friendship.
The authorities are confused by the onlookers. Now that I think about it, he was a young and unknown imperial physician not long after he entered the imperial hospital. How could a prince who had lived in the cold palace for a long time know the words he had never told others easily—perhaps it was the first meeting. , and fell into the game he set up.
With such a pair of clear and innocent eyes, the mind is so deep!
The joy of the meetings these days, the heart-to-heart conversations, the worries about his body... It all seems like a joke now.
Father has always been proud of himself, and when he was rarely harsh, on the night of the autumn election, he hastily locked him in front of the ancestral hall and scolded him angrily.
"The son of a concubine from a cold palace, who has tasted the warmth and coldness of people since he was a child. He is not as weak and kind as you imagined. You need an envoy from the left court of the imperial hospital to rush to make plans for him!"
"Who is responsible for the tiger run? It can be hidden from others, but not from you and me!"
"Your Majesty, you have been fooled around by this son. Who do you think you are? It's just a tool that people have in their hands!"
"If you still remember that you are a descendant of the He family, from today onwards, cut off contact with him! Unless you want to watch the He family fall with your own eyes!"
"Zhihe! Get lost and return!"
Every sentence is like thunder piercing through the ears, which makes people's minds split.
He Yunyi laughed a few times, as if lost in his soul, he fell back a few steps again and again. He stood firm, but his face gradually stopped laughing.
He took a box of plasters out of his arms, and laughed at himself: "I must be crazy to find all kinds of excuses to see you this time."
"However, I have never been ashamed to congratulate a certain person on making friends, so let's make it a conclusion today."
With one stroke of his hand, he showed the plaster in front of him.
"This is the wound medicine made from kudiding and bone fragments. It is perfect for the wounds on your body..."
His tone gradually calmed down, put away all emotions, no matter good or bad, he just said softly: "I just hope that Your Highness will not use it wrong again this time."
As soon as he finished speaking, he put the box of plaster on the table beside him, and made a dull sound.
Li Yuanmin trembled all over. He knew that he was about to lose something very important, so he grabbed his hand in a panic and suppressed himself: "Zhihe, wait, wait, okay? I'll think about it."
What did he want to say, how could he tell everything together? His reasons were so absurd, so absurd that he only thought that he was a nightmare of Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly when he was half asleep and half awake.
But he wanted to keep him too much, his Zhihe, the only best friend in this life, he didn't want to lose.
Since rebirth, he was so flustered for the first time. His hands were shaking and his lips were connected. He tried hard to think of where to start, but all he could say was a helpless murmur:
"Zhihe... I have difficulties..."
He raised his head, but saw the sneer on the other side. Those eyes no longer had the usual care and tenderness, only indifference.
Li Yuan felt a pain in his heart, let go of his hand, and his eyes turned red instantly.
Can't come back.
He knew that everything would never come back. He completely lost this best friend. He didn't have much in his two lifetimes. The only one he had was also lost.
Everything is karma.
At that moment, he suddenly thought of Li Yuanxu. When he wantonly humiliated Yan Lie and tried every means to get revenge on Cao Gang, he would think that one or two trivial things he thought would become his future reminders, and even the entire dynasty.
A sense of fate arises spontaneously.
In his previous life, he was cowardly, but he treated He Yunyi with sincerity, and he never cheated and used him. That kind of person is worthy of He Yunyi's heart-to-heart friendship, not the self who has been burdened with the desire to escape in this life. He used He Yunyi, no matter how Love is a last resort, in the end it has tarnished this true love.
People live in the world, and they must be responsible for everything they do.
He Yunyi has gone far. From now on, there will never be such a day of heart-to-heart friendship. The heart is so broken and the pain is excruciating. Compared with this time, even the physical pain seems so insignificant.
He lost He Yunyi, lost his precious things, because of a choice in this life.
Li Yuanmin picked up the box of ointment, squatted down slowly, and big tears fell from his eyes.
Standing in front of fate, he is as small as a mayfly.
***
The weather was bad and gloomy on the day of departure.
There is no grand summoning ceremony, only a guard of 56 people arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to the regulations.
The only one who came to see him off was Li Mao, a veteran who spoke for Yi Lie on the day of the autumn election, and two eight-foot-long escorts came with him.
Li Mao's beard and hair are all white, and the vicissitudes of the years have been on his face. The general who fought on the battlefield finally looked like an ordinary old man. He patted Yan Lie on the shoulder: "Good boy, let's go and be good take care."
Looking at the face that looked like an old friend, it seemed to remind him of those memories of the soldiers and horses. With a few tears in the corners of his eyes, he bowed deeply to Li Yuanmin: "Thank you, Third Highness."
Thank you, he didn't specify, Li Yuanmin quickly helped him up, and Li Mao called the two entourage behind him,
"These are the two accompanying Zhang Long and Zhou Dawu in our army. Although they are rough and unbearable, they are also loyal, so they are entrusted to the Third Highness."
Li Yuanmin's eyes turned hot, he knew that although the veteran in front of him was a rough man in the army, his mind was quite delicate, and he also saw that he was cramped and no one could use him.
I didn't want to refuse at the moment, I just bowed to him solemnly: "Thank you, General Li."
Hesitating for a moment: "General, Yuan Min has one more request."
"Oh? Your Highness, but it's okay."
This matter is really difficult for General Li, but Li Yuanmin has no choice. Thinking of the tyranny after the Lie Lie, he tried his best to try: "If possible, please General Li to find ways to rescue General Ni's daughter Ni Ying, She is now trapped in the priest's workshop, only eight years old..."
He paused, a little ashamed: "I... I am a soft-spoken person. There is no news of the papers I handed in a few days ago. I must have disappeared before I arrived in front of the emperor. I really have no other choice. For the general's sake, try your best."
Yi Lie was shocked, looking at the earnest begging person in front of him, he didn't know his current situation, he couldn't open his mouth to ask, so he could only suppress this matter deeply in his heart, tossing and turning every night, but he didn't want to He always kept it in mind.
However, Li Mao did not show any embarrassment, and his face was full of admiration: "Your Highness, don't worry, although only the old man came here today, there are many generals in the court who are righteous. You can’t get away, and you can take care of one or two secretly, but please rest assured.”
Yi Lie's eyes were dark, he didn't say anything, he just knelt down and kowtowed three times to Old General Li.
"Good boy, you don't have to be like this." He helped Li Lie up, "I feel sorry for your father, I believe that he is definitely not a traitor, the reason why I am still investigating secretly until now, only now Take care of yourself, and be like General Ni in the future, be a good man who stands up to the sky and deserves no shame!"
Yi Lie clenched his fists and nodded.
The leader has already come to urge them, so it is inconvenient for them to say more, they just say goodbye to each other solemnly.
The heavy city gates were opened, and the plain-colored Cheyu drove out of the capital under the escort of a group of soldiers and horses.
Li Yuanmin lifted the sedan chair curtain, looked at the majestic city gate that kept going away, and the old general Li who was watching them leave in the same place. There was no excitement in his imagination, but a touch of loneliness.
The team is walking in the vast world.
After waiting for half an hour, he touched the medicine box in his hand and said:
"stop!"
The leader of the team waved his hand to signal to stop. Yan Lie lifted the curtain and helped him down.
Li Yuanmin coughed lightly, "You guys wait here for a while."
He walked to the small hill not far away by himself, where there was a lonely small tree.
He stood still, took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms, and looked at it carefully with lowered eyes, as if he could see the warm face through this piece of jade pendant. spread out.
Sighing, he found a wooden stick and dug a deep hole in the ground, then put the jade pendant and the medicine box in together, stared at it for a while, and covered it with soil.
He stood up, looking at the capital city which was almost dotted in the mist, feeling lost in his heart.
Zhihe, goodbye.
A gust of wind blew by, he sighed softly, and when he looked back, Yan Lie stood behind him, and he didn't know how long he looked at it.
Looking at the young man standing tall and straight in the wind, the melancholy in his heart eased a lot for some reason, and he only smiled slightly and went up to him.
When the wind blew up, the flags of the team fluttered, and a lone eagle flew across the vast sky, hovering in the open sky. In the vast storm, Li Yuanmin grabbed Yan Lie's hand.
"Ariel, let's go."
