Lu Wenlong stretched out his hand curiously and turned the turtle over.
Pity this big turtle, it was turned over, with its strange belly exposed, and it was lying on its back.
The little tiger head giggled happily. It was the first time Lu Wenlong saw such a funny scene and he also burst out laughing: "Little tiger head, it's really fun. Let's go get other turtles."
"Okay, okay..."
King Qin Da Le: "Damn it, this brat, isn't he tired of playing? Why do you want to do this?"
Hua Rong smiled and said, "Let's go back to Changlin Island."
King Qin was mysterious: "Ma Su, Liu Wu and others have made arrangements on the island. Now is the time when manpower is at its most abundant. Let's be lazy and have fun for a few days."
Forget it, Lu Wenlong hasn’t been to Luoxia Island yet!
She thought, she could be happy first, just be happy first. Her mood was completely relaxed at this time, and even the hidden illness was no longer so scary.
Yanjing, Fourth Prince's Mansion.
The winter of this year was particularly cold. The continuous heavy snow froze the whole world. In such a world of ice and snow, even the war seemed to be frozen. There were no major events inside and outside, and the court fell into a superficial tranquility.
The Fourth Prince's Mansion also became completely quiet, just like the world of ice and snow, almost isolated from the outside world.
Jin Wushu stayed alone in his palace and had symptoms of vomiting blood for seven consecutive days.
Doctors from the Prince's Mansion came and went, and even a lot of great witch doctors came. Their diagnosis was that the Fourth Prince had worked hard in his early years and had suffered from old and new injuries. He could not be cured, so he had to rest.
In fact, he no longer cared much about the doctor's judgment. He burned incense and sat in meditation every day, or read some books.
All the concubines have been abandoned outside. According to the doctor's orders, the fourth prince is not suitable to be close to women these days. He is not in such a mood, and secondly, he does not have a strong preference, so he quickly falls in love with her. I fell into such a pure and stoic life.
On this day, the wind and snow increased in intensity. By evening, it was almost dark, as if all the monsters and monsters in the world had gathered in Yanjing, and then all rushed to the fourth prince's residence.
Jin Wushu stood by the window, listening to the whistling wind and watching the goose-feather heavy snow falling on the window. Soon, the window turned into angular ice flowers.
The room was burning with charcoal for heating, and it was very warm. This kind of technology came from the Song Dynasty. He even remembered the strange fuel that King Qin used to make firearms and defeated the Jin army. These things were also available in the Jin Dynasty, but , before this, no one knew it, and no one used it.
The room was too warm and slightly suffocating. He opened the window, wanting to feel a breath of fresh air. As soon as he opened it, goose-feather-like snow swept across the face, almost like a knife, cutting people's skin. .
He hurriedly closed the window, his mouth was full of wind and snow, he coughed violently, and spit out a mouthful of blood again.
As soon as his body softened, he sat by the stove, leaning against the stove, looking at this strange world.
Outside, there were faint sounds of slaves crying, the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping, and the noise of the twenty-eight-year-old lady. She ate too much and too well, and grew stronger. Her already tall body was now faintly She has the posture of a hippopotamus, her body is as powerful as a bucket, her waist is as big as a bucket, and she is full of energy. The woman who was submissive at first has become more powerful and aggressive than ever since she gave birth to a child. Like the real mistress of the Prince's Mansion, Using her strong methods to discipline the servants and punish other concubines demonstrated her highest authority... Every day, he could hear the noises of chickens and dogs, her making a fuss, and the other concubines crying and struggling.
He didn't want to care at all and was indifferent. He just tried to let Wuqimai order them to go away and make noise.
Whether it is the women of the Jin Kingdom or the women of the Bohai Sea, they are all like this, they are rough-handed and more masculine than men.
He simply felt terrible, as if this was the biggest punishment for his years of war!
… … …
But the noise today was so loud that it felt like he was having a long nightmare. However, he was still unwilling to go out and stop it. He was not even willing to say another word or take another look, and kept lying there. exist**.
I don’t know how long it took, and I fell asleep again. In my sleep, it seemed like another world, with flowing clouds and sleeves, birds singing and fragrance of flowers. That was the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, that was the Suzhou and Hangzhou Liudi, that was the Huaiyang River, that was Kaifeng Teahouse... The handsome young man held a bow and arrow in his hand and shouted: "Daddy, come on, daddy, there are deer here, I am hunting the deer..." Beside the spring, there was a small red clay stove, and a woman with slender hands was holding it. The emerald green wooden spoon is cooking tea, and it is flying with bare hands, like a butterfly piercing flowers, elegant and calm, with such a gentle tone: "Fourth Prince, please try..."
The south of the Yangtze River is good, and the scenery is familiar to me in the past. When the sun rises, the flowers on the river are as red as the fire, and when spring comes, the river is as green as blue.
When talking about Jiangnan and talking about Jiangnan, how can we not remember Jiangnan
There was a "bang" sound, and he was suddenly awakened. He turned over and sat up, and a mouthful of blood spurted on the brocade quilt.
The two maids who had been waiting for a long time were frightened and ran over to help him up: "Fourth Prince, what's wrong with you?"
"Here, call the doctor..."
Wu Qimai hurried in and saw the fourth prince's face was like gold paper, his breath was weak, and the blood on his lips was clearly visible.
"Hurry up and urge the doctor..."
"Come here, go make some medicine..."
The room was in chaos. Jin Wushu shook his head, very weakly: "You don't have to panic..."
"The doctor is here..."
The doctor is an old man, jogging in. He is the full-time doctor of the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Most of the nobles of the Jin Kingdom believe in witch doctors. Even though the capital has been moved to Yanjing, except for the Wolf Lord's palace, which is equipped with an imperial doctor, other nobles do not have a doctor. If you are sick or something, you should go to a witch doctor. Only the Fourth Prince's Mansion has set up this doctor. He enjoys a generous salary in the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Naturally, he is afraid that if the Fourth Prince dies, he will have no food, clothing, food, and parents, so he spends all day researching prescriptions. , hoping to find some elixir to cure the Fourth Prince.
He felt the fourth prince's pulse and looked at his complexion, which became increasingly ugly.
Wu Qimai's face became increasingly ugly, but Jin Wushu was very calm. No one knew his situation better than him. Whether he lived or died, he could only leave it to fate.
"Sir, please tell the truth. Is there any hope for this disease?"
The doctor looked troubled and hesitantly said: "Fourth Prince, please relax... As long as you calm down and rest, there is a possibility of getting better. I'm going to look for some more medicine. The medicine shop in Yanjing is too short of medicinal materials. Even those few medicines are very ordinary." I can’t find any medicinal materials…”
Jin Wushu was noncommittal and just waved his hand: "You all go down, I want to be alone for a while."
"yes."
Everyone retreated, leaving only Wu Qimai alone.
Wu Qimai had been following him for many years and knew the situation best. Naturally, he couldn't help but sigh. He stood aside and looked out the window, with a faint look of anger on his face.
Because there was a faint sound outside the window, the fourth prince was so frightened that he vomited blood. It was precisely because of that "bang" sound.
"Fourth Prince, it's so outrageous for the twenty-eighth lady to make such a fuss regardless of your illness..."
Jin Wushu shook his head helplessly and whispered: "There is no need to provoke that shrew."
Wu Qimai was also very helpless. He didn't know if the Fourth Prince's house had bad feng shui. From Yelu Guanyin to the Twenty-eight Lady, it was rich in shrewd women. On the contrary, there was once a gentle and elegant woman here, but she was just a passing visitor and turned against her. We will never see each other anywhere in the world.
"Fourth Prince, I think the current doctor is not good enough. I want to hire another doctor. I heard that there is a good doctor named Han in Yanjing City. He lived here during the Jingkang Incident. He has been practicing medicine in Yanjing for many years. He already has quite a reputation, and the people praise him very much..."
Jin Wushu shook his head, noncommittal.
"Fourth Prince..."
"Oh, Wu Qimai, I don't have much time left, and you don't want to run around anymore. Looking back on this half of my life, you are the only one who has always been loyal to me..."
Wu Qimai was surprised: "Why did the fourth prince say these ominous words? You are in the prime of spring and autumn..."
The fourth prince is only in his forties, which is the prime moment of a man. How could he be so depressed so early
Jin Wushu shook his head: "In my life, I have dominated the world, killed countless people, used all my methods, and enjoyed all the glory and wealth. However, there are two things that I particularly regret and feel guilty about... "
Wu Qimai felt even more uneasy when he heard that he seemed to be giving his last words. He didn't even dare to ask what the two things were.
As he spoke, he inadvertently pressed his hand on his waist. From the outside, the arrow wound had actually healed long ago. However, the scars inside were not visible to the naked eye. Perhaps, it would never heal.
Just as he was about to say something, there was a rush of footsteps outside the house.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the announcement: "The Wolf Lord has arrived, and the Wolf Lord is visiting the Fourth Prince..."
Since no news had been received in advance, the Fourth Prince's Mansion suddenly fell into chaos.
Wolf Lord Heci strode in, Jin Wushu had already sat up: "See your majesty..."
"There's no need to be polite, Fourth Uncle. I'm so anxious when I get the news that Fourth Uncle is so ill... Fourth Uncle, please lie down quickly... Someone, bring some medicinal materials for Fourth Uncle..."
The palace people came across the brocade box, which contained nothing more than the Jin's most precious ginseng and other things.
"Fourth Uncle, this is a high-quality ginseng. It has been tortured by the imperial doctor for eight or nine hundred years, if not a thousand years, to see if it can be effective..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you for your trouble."
"Fourth uncle, why are you sick? It happened so suddenly? It really worries me..."
He Ci's words are not hypocritical. He is indeed very worried these days. Originally, this winter should be very peaceful, with no major events inside and outside. However, the relocation of the capital to Yanjing was a huge project, and some of the palaces that had no time to decorate became unfinished buildings. , Song's tribute silver was stolen again, and the negotiations with Song also reached a deadlock... It seemed that as soon as the fourth prince fell ill, there was no one in charge of major affairs. Several ministers put forward some suggestions, and even he listened to them. Ridiculous. Only then did I realize that the talent of the Jin Kingdom was withering so much, and the fourth prince was absolutely indispensable.
He Ci has no independent opinion. He used to rely on his stepfather Zong Qian and Yu Wen Xuzhong, but now these two people have died long ago. He has lost his backbone and relies on the fourth prince for everything. Now the fourth prince is ill, so even if Hai He could no longer listen to some of Ling's slanders. Faced with piles of unmanageable memorials and various internal and external troubles, he had no choice but to come to the Fourth Prince for help.
"Your Majesty, has there been any trouble in the court recently?"
"Well, it's still about Jiangnan. Zhao Deji is hesitant about returning the tribute silver and refuses to replenish the tribute. Let's send troops. Now that the treasury is empty, it is not a good time. If we don't send troops, will the Song Dynasty be allowed to be arrogant?"
