His Royal Highness Li Wang seldom did anything, and most of the time he was deserted. Ding Quan and Congshan were used to it, but something was not right today. Seeing the emperor suffer, Ding Quan and Congshan rushed go up.
Cong Shan stood in front of Bo Yunchong, while Ding Quan immediately supported Bo Yunchong, "Oh my god, Your Majesty, are you hurt?"
Bo Yunchong threw Ding Quan away, "Is it hurt? I can't see it?"
Ding Quan clicked his tongue, it was over, his face was hurt, when the Empress Dowager asked, the ministers asked, how should he answer? Those of them who are slaves are not good at serving, and they are afraid that they will be punished. If it's just a beating, it's fine if you lose your head...
"Bo Yunxiu, what are you doing?" Bo Yunchong scolded, "Why did I provoke you? Didn't I just steal a child to play with? How could I curse and beat someone? Look at my handsome face! I'll tell you , if I lose my face, I, I will live in your Liwang Mansion, and you will make trouble in Liwang Mansion!"
"Hehe!" Bao Yunxiu took a deep breath, "Why did you forget all the good things you did? Well, I'll remind you, Liu De'an!"
Bo Yunchong frowned, and turned his head to stare at Congshan and Ding Quan.
The two hurriedly raised their hands, and shook their heads in unison, "It's not what we said, we didn't mention anything."
"Remember?" Bo Yunxiu's eyes were fierce, "What else do I need to say now? Send someone to intercept and kill, thank you for doing it!"
"Intercept? No, no, I just brought it back to have a look, I didn't say intercept!!" Bo Yunchong felt guilty, and then suddenly widened his eyes, "Wait, intercept? Kill... Kill? I didn't kill, who will kill me? Order??"
"My lord!" Cong Shan hurriedly said, "You know that although the emperor is always against you, he never dares to joke about matters of life and death, especially murder. The emperor doesn't get blood, don't you understand that? ?”
Bo Yunchong's complexion was slightly pale, and he was annoyed before, but now he has lost all anger, and he is full of aggrieved, "I'm going to find the Queen Mother!"
"What's the use of looking for her?" Of course Bo Yunxiu knew that Bo Yunchong wouldn't kill people, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as a punch. What's annoying is that Liu De'an was originally the commander of the palace guards, but he was sent out to trouble Shen Muxi! The emperor never did anything serious, and there were a lot of crooked things, but he didn't expect that he was becoming more and more unreliable now, and he couldn't tell which was more serious.
"Then who are you looking for?" Bo Yunchong asked, "Looking for you?"
Bo Yunxiu let out a breath suddenly, and Bo Yunchong was so scared that he hid behind Shen Zhi, "It's so scary! See, you still follow such a person, I tell you, if he gets angry, he will eat people. Come into the palace with me! Once you get stabbed, everything will be fine."
Shen Zhi glared at him, then Sa Yazi ran to Bo Yunxiu and stood beside him, staring at Bo Yunchong bitterly. He could tell that Bo Yunxiu did it because of his mother's affairs, and he stood on Bo Yunxiu's side in this matter.
"Hey you little brat..."
"Shut up!" Bo Yunxiu held back his anger, "This is the last time, just remember it!"
He didn't talk much, so he walked out after speaking.
"Hey, where are you going?" Bo Yunchong chased after him, "I really didn't..."
"Oh my god, don't talk about it, Your Majesty, I didn't see that His Royal Highness Li Wang is going to eat people!" Ding Quan held the whisk in his hand, and walked very fast in small steps, "Your Majesty, why don't we go back to the palace quickly?" , His Royal Highness Li Wang is so like this, I am afraid that there will be a bloody storm! Look at that face, that look, that strike... oh, this is so hard, it bruises your face!"
Bo Yunchong suddenly stopped in his tracks, "Is my face all right? Those concubines of mine don't despise me, do they?"
"How can that be!" Ding Quan hurriedly waved his hands, "You ladies are eager for the emperor to go to the harem every day, how can you despise you! Even if you are beaten into a pig's head, all the ladies will rush to get up!"
"That's true!" When Bo Yunchong turned his head, Bo Yunxiu had already gone far away, so he stopped chasing, "You said that since the Queen Mother sent someone to pick her up, why did she have to intercept and kill her? Isn't it superfluous? Such a shining knife is not afraid of being stabbed yourself?"
Ding Quan and Cong Shan shook their heads at the same time, no one understood why the Queen Mother dared to kill people openly and aboveboard? It was the woman Li Wang wanted to kill!
Bo Yunchong rubbed his face in pain, could it be that the queen mother is old and confused?
Turning on the horse, Bo Yunxiu suddenly hesitated, turned to look at Shen Zhi who was standing under the horse with his head raised, not knowing what to say for a while.
On the other hand, Shen Zhi was calm and calm, "Did something happen to my mother?"
Bo Yunxiu narrowed her eyes and remained silent.
"You can tell me, I can bear it." Shen Zhi took a deep breath, as if he was mentally prepared, "That's my mother, no matter what she becomes, or... something happens, I will accept it."
"She'll be fine!" Bo Yunxiu said condescendingly, "You can rest assured."
"Can I go with you?" Shen Zhi asked again, "I know, you are looking for my mother."
Bo Yunxiu had some inexplicable feelings in his heart, he didn't know what to say, this kid Shen Zhi is very smart, but not the self-righteous little cleverness like Bo Yu. Xu Shi followed his mother and handled everything calmly, without arrogance or impetuosity, not tepid, which made people feel very comfortable.
"Your mother is fine." Bo Yunxiu said, "The guards of Li Wang's mansion have sent pigeons to pass the letter. This king will immediately repair a letter and send it to the government along the way. It will be easy for people to take care of it. If there is any change, it can be done cheaply."
After thinking for a while, Bo Yunxiu immediately bent down and stretched out his hand to Shen Zhi, "If you have the guts, this king will take you back to Li Palace!"
Shen Zhi raised his hand slowly, probably because he was worried about Bo Yu, he hesitated in his heart, "My mother...will I live in Liwang's Mansion too?"
"She has no choice!" Bo Yunxiu answered without hesitation, and could not be refuted.
As the sound fell, Shen Zhi's hand had already reached Bo Yunxiu's palm. At that moment, the big hand held the small hand, delivering the budding trust. Bo Yunxiu asked Shen Zhi to sit in front of her, and rode his horse to take him back to the palace in an open and honest manner. Only in this way, no one would covet him again.
There were people watching along the way, which made Shen Zhi a little nervous. He was still a child after all, and he had never seen the treatment of being looked up to and watched. Subconsciously, he leaned against Bo Yunxiu's body, his face was a little hot, and his head drooped slightly.
"Your mother didn't teach you how to ride a horse?" Bo Yunxiu's voice came from the top.
Shen Zhi nodded slightly, the mountain road is difficult, and it is impossible to ride a horse to go up the mountain to collect medicine, and travel depends on two feet.
"Riding a horse, the posture should be correct, and the eyes should be looking into the distance!" When Bao Yunxiu said this, he held the rein with one hand and put his other hand on Shen Zhi's shoulder.
Shen Zhi had to straighten his back, his heart was beating wildly, he looked at the people coming and going on Dongdu Street, looking at the extremely bustling market, he felt a bit out of place, but Bo Yunxiu didn't let him go, simply Pushed the reins into his hands.
Everyone knew that this was His Royal Highness Li Wang, the most favored prince in front of the emperor, who held such great power that even the courtiers had to respect him. But no one has ever seen Shen Zhi, and they whispered to each other, talking about the sudden appearance of the child.
"I don't know how to ride a horse!" Shen Zhi said in a low voice, trying to put the rein back into Bo Yunxiu's hand.
"You have to learn if you don't know. You don't want you to race against a four-legged horse in case something happens to your mother in the future?" Bao Yunxiu taught him to hold the rein tightly and let him stop his waist. Leaning forward, you must step on the stirrups. Now it is slow, you can enjoy the prosperity of this eastern capital." Shen Zhi's hand holding the rein trembled slightly, and his palm was wet with cold sweat. Bo Yunxiu was very close to him. For a moment, a thought came to Shen Zhi's mind. If he had a father, would his father teach him how to ride a horse so patiently? Teach him how to protect his mother? Teach him to look at the prosperity neither humble nor overbearing
In front of the gate of the palace, the guards were all stunned.
Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness Li Wang would ride a horse across the street with a child. Not to mention, His Royal Highness Li Wang ordered the child to live in Wenxia Pavilion.
What is Xiage
Ever since side concubine Wei came to Liwangfu, the prince vacated the main courtyard for their mother and son to live in. In everyone's eyes, this is simply a special treatment. Later, there was a fire in Yimei Pavilion, and after it was renovated, it was renamed Wenxia Pavilion. Since the prince moved into Wenxia Pavilion, all the women in the backyard were not allowed to enter.
Unexpectedly, when Shen Zhi came, the prince would arrange him in Wenxia Pavilion, which would inevitably provoke criticism from everyone, but even if it was criticism, he dared not speculate on his own. The prince has always been ruthless in his actions, who dares to criticize him? !
Shen Zhi followed Bo Yunxiu into Asking Xia Pavilion. The environment of this place is quiet and completely different from the outside. It is not so luxurious, nor does it have a magnificent color. Instead, there are trees and flowers everywhere, and the flowers are winding around the corridor. To describe it as breathtaking, the colorful colors are extremely beautiful.
In the wind, there is a faint fragrance of hundreds of flowers. You can't tell what kind of flower it is, but it smells very comfortable.
There is an old plum tree next to the flower stand, and a swing stand stands next to it. The wind blows the swing stand back and forth, so that you can feel at ease.
Passing through the flower corridor is a small path in the bamboo forest. The road is not long, but it is paved with cobblestones. The sun is dappled and mottled from above, making it extraordinarily quiet and dense, as if you are in a bamboo sea.
Out of the bamboo forest is the house.
A small canal passes in front of the door, and stretches around the entire Wenxia Pavilion. The water flow is clear, and occasionally small fish play in the water, which is obviously running water.
Shen Zhi was a little surprised. He stood in the corridor and looked around. The water was shining, reflected on his small face, and scattered in the corridor. Fairyland.
"Does it look good?" Mi Li asked with a smile.
Shen Zhi nodded, "Will I live here with my mother in the future?"
"Yes!" Mi Li nodded, looked at Bo Yunxiu who was walking away with a flick of her sleeves, and couldn't help but sigh, "Your mother may be the first woman to live here."
"Why?" Shen Zhi was puzzled.
"Even the servants here are men, and the lord does not allow any woman to come near here." Mi Li patted Shen Zhi on the shoulder, "You probably won't understand, but you can look at it with your heart in the future. The pain in the lord's heart is not something I just said in a few words." Can speak clearly!"
Shen Zhi thought for a while, "Who is he doing this for?"
"Hush!" Mi Li hurriedly looked around, "You are not allowed to ask this question in the future, you know? This is the rule of the palace, and it is also a taboo of the prince, you just need to remember it!"
"Oh!" Shen Zhi nodded, and looked left and right with wide eyes, "Then...will your bad boy come in?"
Mi Li was taken aback for a moment, but then realized that the bad boy Shen Zhi was referring to was Bo Yu. He sighed in his heart, what the young master did before might have really frightened Shen Zhi, so much so that Shen Zhi was full of vigilance when he entered Li Wang's mansion.
"The prince lives alone in this courtyard. Although the young master will come in occasionally, no one dares to make trouble here without the prince's permission." Mi Li comforted in a low voice, "Mr. Shen, I have something to say in advance." Let me tell you, this place is different from other courtyards in the Prince Li's Mansion, if you want to live here peacefully, don't touch the prince's taboo."
Shen Zhi stared at him, listening very carefully.
Mi Li said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't touch what you shouldn't touch, and live in your own house honestly. Every plant and tree in this yard is carefully taken care of by the prince. If there is any damage, you will know as a result of!"
"Yes!" Shen Zhi nodded.
"That's the end of the words, just keep it in your heart!" Mi Li got up, "You wait here, someone will come and take you to the room later."
"Yes!" Shen Zhi obediently sat in the corridor.
Mi Li breathed a sigh of relief and left quickly.
Shen Zhi sat alone in the corridor, lying on the railing to bask in the sun, lazily looking at the small fish swimming in the water. The fish were small but very cheerful. It reminded him of the time when he and his mother went to the mountains to collect herbs. , the little fish in the stream, unexpectedly laughed out loud.
"Why are you here!"
With a stern shout, Shen Zhi raised his head in amazement, his complexion instantly turned extremely ugly.
…
Speaking of it, Shen Muxi was really surprised, she always thought that Liu De'an was here to kill her, or it would be bad for her, but she didn't expect that at the last moment, Liu De'an came in time and pierced the man's throat with a sword.
The blood was flowing, the ground was bright red mixed with the pouring rain, and it flowed everywhere.
In the rain, Shen Muxi looked up at Liu De'an with a pale face, looking at him in panic, obviously also frightened, but he didn't know if it was a deliberate disguise or he really didn't know.
Chunxiu's wound cracked a little more, fortunately it was not too serious, Shen Muxi carefully re-applied the dressing, but after healed, there would definitely be a scar.
In the next two days, the group continued on their way without any delay, but no one spoke again.
Seeing that it was time to go to the Eastern Capital, it was Chunxiu who screamed, "Doctor Shen!"
Liu De'an was shocked, and hurried forward, "What's wrong?"
But seeing Shen Muxi lying in Chunxiu's arms, his face was reddish, his breathing was slightly short of breath, as if he was ill.
Chunxiu tested with her palm, but felt that it was extremely hot, and her whole body began to feel anxious, "I have a fever! Ever since I got caught in the rain that day, I have heard Dr. Shen cough twice, but she is busy taking care of me, and is in a hurry to go..."
"There are no shops in front of the village or in the back!" Liu De'an panicked, "It's not far from Dongdu, and it's still a lot of travel, what should I do?"
"I'm a doctor myself, what doctor are I looking for?" Shen Muxi panted, his vision blurred.
A doctor can heal others well, but he may not be able to heal himself. Fortunately, it is just the invasion of wind and cold, not some difficult and miscellaneous disease, just take a few doses of medicine! Everything in the medicine hut is there, and it is not difficult to prescribe and grab the medicine. The difficult thing is the bumpy road, and she is too weak to bear it.
"There is a town on the top of the mountain in front of us. We will not camp at that time, but go to the common people's house to spend the night, so that you can have a good rest." Although Liu De'an is a warrior, he is a servant in the palace, and he is more thoughtful than ordinary people.
Shen Muxi nodded, and wrote a prescription for herself, and asked Chunxiu to help decoct the medicine, while she got into the carriage and lay down for a while.
In the evening, the convoy entered the town.
The town is not big, but fortunately there is an inn.
Living in an inn is better than living in a common people's house, and there is no need to worry too much. Liu De'an rented out the entire inn, and the guards took turns watching the night in the lobby, and the rest stayed in the room, with the door open and on guard at any time.
Because of the difference between men and women, Liu De'an lived next door to Shen Muxi, and Chunxiu stayed with Shen Muxi in the same room.
"How?" Chunxiu quickly handed over a lump of sugar, "Hurry up and put it in your mouth."
After the bitterness, there is sweetness that melts in the mouth.
Shen Muxi frowned, and finally slowly relaxed, "It's too bitter!" "I know you can't take bitter medicine, so when decocting the medicine, I asked the shopkeeper for some sugar cubes!" Chunxiu opened the small A paper bag, with a few pieces of transparent sugar cubes neatly placed inside, "There is no honey-stuffed hawthorn, this stuff is a little greasy, you spit it out after the bitter taste in your mouth melts."
"I know!" Shen Muxi nodded, "Actually, I have nothing to do, I'm just tired. But how dare I stop, as soon as I get to Dongdu, I can see Zhi'er as soon as possible! I don't know what's going on with Zhi'er now? "
Chunxiu put away the small paper bag, "Although the prince is not a good person, he will not bully Zhi'er!"
"I'm not worried about Prince Li, but those two from Prince Li's mansion!"
As soon as Shen Muxi finished speaking, Chunxiu slapped her thigh suddenly, "Oh, I forgot if you didn't tell me, that woman and the dead child have gone back, if I meet Zhi'er in Dongdu, then it's okay ? That little bastard is vicious and vicious, so how can he harm Zhier if he doesn't keep it all right!"
"That's what I'm worried about!" Shen Muxi sighed softly, "There is only one young master away from the palace. After all, all the members of the Bo family will protect him. I can't imagine that if something happens to Zhi'er..."
"Don't think about it!" Chunxiu didn't know how to persuade others, so she slapped her mouth for the last time, "Look at my broken mouth, I really don't know which pot to open and which pot to lift!"
Shen Muxi leaned against the bedpost weakly, "Stop making trouble, sleep well, you have to hurry tomorrow!"
"Hmm!" Chunxiu hurriedly tucked the quilt up for her, and then got into her bed, "Dr. Shen, if you feel uncomfortable at night, remember to call me, please don't hold back, last time..."
Last time, she slept too hard and almost killed Dr. Shen. Thinking about it now, Chunxiu felt lingering fear.
"Understood!" Shen Muxi replied weakly, with a bit of a smile, "I am a doctor, not a child, and I know the severity. Go to sleep!"
"Hey!" Chunxiu turned over, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Occasionally, the candles exploded, making a low crisp sound, and after a while, only Chunxiu's snoring was left in the room.
In the middle of the night, Shen Muxi sat up suddenly, and vaguely heard the deliberately low footsteps in the corridor outside. Why do you say deliberately lower it? It is because people walk on tiptoe, although it is very light, but because there are so many people, the footsteps will appear messy and deliberate.
Is something wrong
Because of the lesson learned from the past, Shen Muxi lifted the quilt and got out of bed, stretched out his hand to push Chunxiu.
"Shen...huh?" Chunxiu said in a daze, but Shen Muxi covered her mouth before she could speak.
"Hush!" Shen Muxi signaled her to keep quiet, and the two put on their clothes and shoes quickly, and then packed up all the things that should be packed. After thinking for a while, Shen Muxi checked the wool needle in his sleeve again, this thing is not easy to come by, it has been consumed before, and it needs to be cherished now.
The two of them were sticking to the door, listening to the movement outside, they could vaguely hear Liu De'an giving some orders, as if telling them to keep their eyes on this place, not to leave or distracted or something.
"What happened?" Chunxiu asked in a low voice.
Shen Muxi shook his head, then walked to the window, opened the window, and looked out through the gap. Liu De'an had already returned to the courtyard, and was directing the guards to surround the entire inn, as if he was rearranging his duties.
If there is no accident, it is impossible to wait in such a serious manner. It seems that something has happened.
what happened
"Doctor Shen?" Chunxiu touched the butcher's knife on his back, "If something really happens later, you run away. It's dark everywhere in the middle of the night. You can hide as long as you can, and don't come out no matter what you see. Right now The situation is unknown, only one can go, you still have Zhier waiting for you in Dongdu!"
"Don't talk nonsense, we must go together when we come together." Shen Muxi closed the window, she was already sick, but now her complexion was even paler, "Let's play by ear!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a strange sound on the roof tiles, beeping, beeping, as if his feet were stepping on the tiles.
"There is someone on the roof!" Chunxiu was shocked.
Shen Muxi quickly opened the window, dragged Chunxiu to carry the burden, and hid directly under the table. The long tablecloth was put down, covering the two of them tightly.
"There are guards outside, why do we hide here?" Chunxiu was puzzled, "Isn't it enough to shout?"
"The visitor is not kind, don't believe anyone!" Shen Muxi motioned her to stop talking.
Not long after, someone pushed open the door heavily, followed by the sound of Liu De'an's footsteps, and quickly walked towards the window, "Where is the person?"
The guard said, "Stay at the door all the time, and I didn't see you go out!"
"Look for it! If someone is lost, no one will live!" Liu De'an hurriedly walked downstairs.
The candles in the room were blown out by the wind, and it was pitch black.
It's no wonder that Liu De'an was in trouble. In the middle of the night, the guards on duty came to report that the shopkeeper and the staff were gone, and there was blood in the back kitchen, but no corpse was found.
Not only that, but the horses in the stables were also drugged, which would make them weak. If they wanted to leave now, they would definitely not be able to do so. Without horses, relying on foot strength alone, this poor man can't walk at all.
If you can't go, you can't go, and if you keep it, it's full of weirdness.
After a while, there was a shadow floating outside the window, and after a while, chickens and ducks were crowing, and chicken feathers were all over the floor.
This night made people panic, Liu De'an was naturally nervous, but unexpectedly someone took advantage of him, why did Shen Muxi and Chunxiu disappear? The windows are so high, it stands to reason that they don't know martial arts, so they can't climb down, and there are people in the yard, so it is impossible not to see people.
"No!" Liu De'an hurried upstairs, quickly returned to Shen Muxi's room, lit the candlesticks, and all the things belonging to the two of them were taken away, which meant that Shen Muxi packed up and left.
After thinking about it, Liu De'an walked to the table and suddenly lifted the tablecloth. Two pairs of eyes under the table stared straight at him, none of the three said anything, they just stared at him wide-eyed and small-eyed.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look, Arrow!"
"Hide and don't come out!" Liu De'an whispered under his breath, quickly put the tablecloth back in place, turned around and went straight to the stairs.
In the dark night sky, arrows stained with kerosene swished towards the facade, the wooden door caught fire quickly, and hit the pillars, and the flames of the pillars shot straight. Landing in the stable, the horses were frightened, and the horses neighed in an instant, and the chaotic sounds were endless.
"Doctor Shen?" Chunxiu panicked, clutching the burden tightly in her arms, "There seems to be a commotion outside!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a muffled sound of "dong". Chunxiu hurriedly lifted a corner of the tablecloth, but saw an arrow piercing through the window paper, directly piercing the wooden floor of the room, and the flames were sizzling. jump up.
"This..." Chunxiu panicked, "Doctor Shen, it's on fire!"
Shen Muxi was terrified, "Don't move first, so as not to accidentally hurt you."
It's safe under the table, as long as they don't show their heads, these flying arrows are unlikely to hurt them. The two squatted under the table, full of apprehension, but they didn't know that the sky had been overturned in the lobby below.
The thieves who came in from the wall all of a sudden looked like bandits by looking at their clothes and attire. Look at all these vicious and vicious people, chopping and killing anyone they meet, they are very vicious.
With a cold sword in his hand, Liu De'an glanced at these villains, about a dozen of them, all armed with big knives and axes, rushed straight to the second floor. Leaping forward, Liu De'an stood alone at the stairs, "Who the hell are you? Don't you know we belong to the government?"
"The ones who will be killed are those from the official family!" The burly man at the head responded loudly, "I will kill you all today, leaving no one alive! Brothers, kill!"
All these people rushed towards the stairs, and it seemed that they were about to go upstairs. Seeing this, Liu De'an felt his heart skip a beat, and secretly yelled "No", these people were afraid that they were coming for Shen Muxi, so they followed The last time in the ruined temple, the people who almost killed Shen Muxi were all instigated by others to work for others.
"Block them!" Liu De'an roared, and the guards rushed up desperately.
Taking this opportunity, Liu De'an rushed upstairs, directly into the room, and quickly lifted the tablecloth, "Doctor Shen, you two come with me immediately!!"
Shen Muxi and Chunxiu had no other choice, there was no village or shop behind this place, no one came to take a look when there was such a big commotion in the town, it can be seen that... the arrangements had been made well.
But as soon as the three of them reached the stairs, the gang had already reached the stairs, and they were only a few steps away from attacking completely.
"Shen Muxi!" The other party called him by his first name.
Shen Muxi raised his head abruptly, and was shocked to realize that he had been fooled! Yes, the other party was just waiting for her response, and now she just confirmed her identity.
Liu De'an gritted his teeth and charged upwards with his sword.
"Yan Wang wants you to die on the third watch, and will never leave you until the fifth watch!" The leading man laughed loudly, "Kill her for me!"
Suddenly, a faint voice suddenly sounded, "If you want to take someone here, you have to ask me first!"
