On the wall of Dongqi Imperial Palace, one can see the prosperous and bustling scene of half of the capital city. The sun gradually sets in the west, and the wind makes the flags on the city wall rustle. Xiao Yimo squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, while Chi Feng stood behind him respectfully.
Chi Feng briefly recounted what had happened in the past six months. Xiao Yimo knew some of the things. After all, there is no wall that is impenetrable. Even if you want to hide something, you can't stop some people from gossiping.
Little Princess Xiao Xiang is seriously poisoned and will not live past the age of ten. Even the miracle doctor is helpless. No wonder Xiao Yichen wants to take Ji Lingxue away. They have decided to visit famous doctors all over the world to prolong the life of the child.
When Xiao Yichen left, he took nothing with him. He returned the newly organized court to him and left his most trusted assistants Bai Mo, Chi Feng and others to him. This was enough to show Xiao Yichen's sincerity and made him rest assured that he would not come back again. The kingdom of Dongqi was returned to him, Xiao Yimo, to protect. Why did he have a feeling that things were changing
Xiao Yimo turned his head to look at Chi Feng who was a little reserved behind him and said, "I heard that you are the best buddy of my royal brother. Now he has left and left you to me. Aren't you afraid that I will use you to vent my anger?"
Chi Feng laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you are really good at joking. When Yi Chen left, he asked me to bring you a message. He said that he caused you to lose a royal uncle, but he gave you a beautiful country and a witty counselor. It is not too late to have one less royal uncle who brings disaster to the world."
Xiao Yimo raised his head and laughed, "Haha, what a good Xiao Yichen, what a good Chi Feng... Your flattery makes me feel comfortable all over, haha, just follow me well in the future, and I will not treat you unfairly." As he said that, he patted Chi Feng's shoulder.
Chi Feng bowed: "I obey your command!"
The sun set in the west, and Chi Feng walked back to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the night. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a white figure sitting under the sycamore tree in the yard, holding a pot of wine in his hand and drinking it intermittently.
Chi Feng clenched his fist and put it to his lips, coughed and said, "What's the matter? Why is the great doctor who can bring the dead back to life and snatch people from the King of Hell so worried?" He turned around Bai Mo, tilted his head to look at Bai Mo's eyebrows and smiled, "Could it be that you are in love? It seems that you can't get the love you want?"
Puff! Bai Mo spat out a mouthful of wine, coughed several times to recover, and rolled his eyes at Chi Feng, "You are the one who is heartbroken, you are the one who can't get the love you want, bah bah bah, you actually cursed me, a dog can't spit out ivory!"
Chi Feng waved his sleeves and sat down next to Bai Mo, patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Tell me what's bothering you, and see if I can help you!"
Bai Mo said: "Do you think Xiao Yichen is disloyal? He just left without even saying goodbye..."
Chi Feng twitched his lips. It must be very infuriating to hear the former emperor called by his full name.
Chi Feng said: "What if I tell you? You still can't cure his child's life. He is anxious and naturally in a hurry to leave. Is he going to invite you to dinner in a grand manner before leaving?"
Thinking of Xiao Xiang's poison, Bai Mo covered his chest with his hands, his expression becoming more depressed, "How can there be such a perverted poison in this world, and there is no antidote yet? Fortunately, Mo Xiang used her mouth to suck out most of the poison for the child, otherwise..." He shook his head and sighed.
Chi Feng turned his head to glance at the wine jug in Bai Mo's hand and said, "When did you dig out the wine I buried under the tree in the kitchen!" He actually stole his wine to drink.
Bai Mo raised his hand and patted the back of Chi Feng's hand, "Tsk tsk, talk properly and don't make a move. I just drank a jar of your wine, and you're so stingy."
Chi Feng rolled his eyes, "Oh! It seems that I should marry a woman to my Prime Minister's Mansion." This way, he can guard against thieves and his brothers.
Bai Mo said: "You are not young anymore, if you want to get married, do it quickly. By then, other people's children can just play around while your child is still in swaddling clothes. Also, I have to remind you, marry a virtuous woman, don't marry too many. It would be terrible if there is a fire in the backyard like Xiao Yichen did..." After saying that, he laughed unkindly.
Chi Feng's face darkened. Was Bai Mo cursing that his backyard would catch fire? Go, go, go. It was annoying to hear that Bai Mo always said bad things around him.
"The Prime Minister is here!" a shrill voice came from the door.
Bai Mo and Chi Feng looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they stood up and saluted, the eunuch saluted Chi Feng and said with a smile: "The emperor has spoken, the prime minister is concerned about the country and the people, and has worked hard to fight the flood in the south of the Yangtze River. It is a blessing for Dongqi to eliminate corrupt officials for tens of thousands of people. I am concerned that the prime minister has not yet married, so I grant my sister Xiangyun to accompany the prime minister."
Bai Mo looked at Chi Feng with envy. He had everything he wanted. This kid was so lucky.
Chi Feng didn't have the same thoughts as Bai Mo. At this moment, he could fully understand how Xiao Yichen felt when he was forced to marry a wife and a concubine. The emperor showed his favor to him and gave him a beauty, which was actually to place a spy by his side.
Chi Feng was shocked when he saw Xiangyun for the first time. This girl was outstanding in appearance and well-educated, even better than the royal princess.
"Xiangyun greets the Prime Minister!" Xiangyun bowed her head, her hair fluttering in the wind. On that autumn afternoon, leaves fell on her shoulders, as if they were attached to her beauty.
Chi Feng was stunned. He thought that all the most beautiful women in the world were taken into Xiao Yichen's mansion, but he didn't expect that there was such a stunning woman, who was still breathtakingly beautiful without losing her makeup.
Chi Feng felt that since Xiangyun moved into the Prime Minister's Mansion, the mansion had become lively. In the past, he was awakened by the crowing of cocks in the morning court, but today, before dawn, the fragrance drifted into his nose, followed by Xiangyun's gentle call: "Prime Minister, it's time to get up. I stewed osmanthus and white fungus soup for you. Do you smell it and it smells good?"
When he returned to the mansion after court, Xiangyun would take the initiative to change his clothes for him. Chi Feng felt quite uncomfortable the first one or two times, as he always felt something was strange. But after going back and forth for a long time, he no longer felt awkward. Even though he knew that Xiangyun was Xiao Yimo's spy on him, Chi Feng still found it easy to use him.
Ten days later, Bai Mo came to say goodbye to Chi Feng. At that time, Chi Feng was grinding ink and painting, and auspicious clouds were rising.
Bai Mo clicked his tongue twice, leaned close to Chi Feng's ear and whispered, "Chi Feng is so lucky, did you take this beauty?"
Chi Feng's face turned red, he punched Bai Mo's chest, coughed and said, "Let's talk about the urgent matter. You came to see me, but what's the matter?"
Bai Mo grinned wickedly and understood from Chi Feng's expression that Chi Feng liked the beauty Xiao Yimo sent him, but he was a man with the intention but not the courage.
Bai Mo put away his evil smile and said, "I came to say goodbye to you. I have been staying in one place for too long, so I want to go out for a walk. I am a miracle doctor, and it is my wish to save the world. You know, I can also go to see masters with superb medical skills to learn from them, and then find a well-behaved apprentice to pass on my skills..."
The smile on Chi Feng's face faded, "If you leave, there will be no more excitement in the capital... It's not too late to practice medicine and save the world when you are older. Besides, you are so young, why don't you find a woman to have a baby? It would be good to train the children at home to be your successors. Why do you have to go out and recruit disciples? Dongqi is full of talents, is there no one you like?"
Bai Mo twitched his lips, expressing his incomprehension of Chi Feng's logic. "Dongqi Capital is indeed a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, but it just doesn't have the disciple I'm looking for. Don't worry, I will come back after I have accepted a disciple. Besides, my medical skills are not very good, so I naturally need to learn more." Thinking that he could not cure Xiao Xiang, Bai Mo was so depressed that he wanted to find a piece of tofu to kill himself.
Chi Feng sighed and patted Bai Mo's shoulder. Knowing that he couldn't keep someone who was leaving, he stopped trying to persuade him. "Wait for me. I'll write a letter. If you meet Xiao Yichen, give the letter to him. If you don't meet him... just burn the letter and don't give it back to me."
Bai Mo nodded and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, I'll go to your yard to appreciate the flowers, you take your time writing." Then he walked out with his hands behind his back.
In the yard, Xiangyun was wearing a light blue skirt and trimming the flowers and plants in the yard with scissors. When she heard footsteps, she bowed in the direction of Bai Mo and said, "Greetings, Doctor Bai."
Bai Mo nodded. Many people knew him because of his identity, so it was not surprising that Xiangyun knew him.
Seeing Bai Mo was about to leave, Xiang Yun called him and said, "Doctor Bai, please stay."
Bai Mo turned around and said, "Divine Doctor, I heard that you are an excellent doctor. Can you please take my pulse?"
Bai Mo nodded, took out a handkerchief and placed it on Xiangyun's wrist before he began to feel her pulse. After a moment, Bai Mo stopped and said, "Your minor illness, I'll prescribe you a medicine later."
Xiangyun was delighted, thanked Bai Mo and left. Bai Mo turned around and saw Chi Feng standing there thoughtfully. Before he could speak, Bai Mo said, "Xiangyun has a cold body and it is not easy for her to get pregnant."
Chi Feng said "oh", but saw an inexplicable smile on Bai Mo's lips. Chi Feng asked: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Bai Mo patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. Have you finished writing the letter?"
Chi Feng handed the letter to Bai Mo and couldn't help asking, "You just said that Xiangyun has a cold body. Besides not being able to have children, what other effects does it have?"
Bai Mo leaned close to Chi Feng's ear and said a few words, which made Chi Feng's ears feel hot.
That night, Xiangyun was sitting in front of the dressing table taking off her hair. The door of her room rang. She opened the door and saw Chi Feng standing at the door holding a medicine bowl. He smiled a little embarrassedly, "I asked the kitchen to prepare your medicine. It's still hot, so I brought it to you. Drink it quickly."
Xiangyun took the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp. "Thank you. Actually, you didn't have to bring it back in person."
Chi Feng stammered for a long time and said, "I'm just on my way. By the way, your stomach hurts. I heard from Bai Mo that you have a cold body. You will have a stomachache every time you have your period. You need a hot compress!" He took out a heater from his sleeve and stuffed it into Xiangyun's hand, "Hold this against your stomach to warm it up, and it will not hurt so much... I have something else to do, so I'll leave first..." After saying that, he walked away quickly.
Xiangyun looked at the heater in his hand and his heart felt warm. He couldn't help but smile. It was the first time he saw a Prime Minister who was so shy and at a loss!
