In the next half month, Li Chengqian's foot disease gradually recovered. Li Kuan's unremitting efforts finally controlled the spread of the foot disease. The number of needles gradually decreased. Later, Li Kuan taught Li Chengqian the method of acupoint massage. Massage yourself.
Although the effect is not as good as that of Li Kuan's hands-on work, there is some effect. Seeing that his foot problems showed signs of improvement, Li Chengqian was happy all day, facing anyone with a smile, and no longer sternly and silently, or lost his temper at every turn.
Li Chengqian's changes actually made the prince's servants a little uncomfortable. They have long been accustomed to the capricious prince criticism or scolding. Suddenly, Li Chengqian smiled at them, and he was really uncomfortable. In short, it was not a bad thing for them.
It wasn't until Li Chengqian's legs were moving freely that Li Kuan was relieved. He looked at Li Chengqian who was walking fast and said with a smile: "Brother, your foot problem has been cured, but I still have to remind you that even if it is cured, it may relapse. So you still have to pay attention to your daily diet. As for walking too much, it’s not good for your legs."
"What the second brother said, it is natural for the brother to obey it!"
Li Chengqian was in a good mood and spoke very casually, without the slightest prince's arrogance. The main reason was that Li Kuan cured his foot disease and treated him sincerely. This moved Li Chengqian, especially Li Kuan’s name for Li Chengqian. All the etiquettes are directly eliminated, and the two never bow when they meet, just like brothers.
"Second brother, can't you really say it?" Li Chengqian was pleased to remember what Li Kuan had said before, and he asked again, and the answer was the same. Li Kuan firmly refused to announce the matter, which made Li Chengqian a little worried. After thinking hard, I still can't think of any good reasons to explain all this.
"Big brother don't have to worry about this, I have a plan!" Li Kuan paused for a moment, glanced at Li Chengqian, and then said, "I'm afraid the big brother will not dare to use it!"
Li Chengqian was a little annoyed after hearing this, and said in a deep voice, "Nonsense, there is nothing in the world that Li Chengqian dared not do!"
"What if this matter involves deceiving the emperor?" Li Kuan's next words shocked Li Chengqian. He slapped his face instantly when he swore it before, which made Li Chengqian blush and didn't reply for a long time. If there is nothing else, deceive the emperor. It is a serious crime to go unfettered, which makes Li Chengqian hesitate, and said suspiciously: "Second brother, why do you deceive the emperor in this way?"
"Brother didn't forget that you are the eldest son, the current prince, and the future Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Li Kuanwei said, "The foot problem that has been a few years old suddenly improved, and naturally he was suspicious of the emperor's mind. At that time, I will definitely go to the bottom to find out. If you follow the method I said, you will definitely not be able to tell the truth. Only by deceiving you can you pass the test."
Li Kuan has no idea about deceiving the emperor. Sometimes he really can't tell the truth. It is himself who suffers. However, Li Chengqian, who has been emphatically cultivated since his childhood, felt a little embarrassed. After all, his experience is completely different from that of Li Kuan, and his ideas are naturally different.
"You talk about the method first!" Li Chengqian did not agree or deny. He wanted to hear what the method was before he could make a decision. If Li Chengqian, who was really deceiving the king, would not risk taking this responsibility, if not just It's a beautiful lie, but that's fine.
Li Kuan smiled and said, "Brother knows Shenlufang?"
Li Chengqian nodded and replied: "Naturally know!"
"Eldest brother can use the name of Shenlu to get past!" Li Kuan said slyly.
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, then fell silent again, bowed his head and thought: "If you are in the name of the god deer, it would be a way."
Shenlufang is a royal garden, non-royal members are not allowed to enter. According to legend, a white sacred deer survived in Shenlufang. Someone had seen it before but never caught it. Once the Zhou dynasty monarch personally led his troops to capture him, and watched Bai Lu enter the ancient temple and lost his trace.
Since then, Shenlufang has become an imperial garden, and it is named after it. In addition, Shenlufang has excellent fengshui, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is very beautiful. It can be said to be a real virgin forest, and even tigers, leopards, jackals and other beasts live in the gardens.
During the hunting season, the emperor would go hunting, the purpose of which is naturally to find the legendary white deer, and to test the martial arts of the prince. Moreover, one mile to the north of Shenlufang is Yunjing Temple. This temple is located halfway up the west slope of Bailuyuan, on the same horizontal line as Chang'an City, facing the Chan River in the middle.
As the sun sets westward, you can see Yunjing Temple when you look eastward from Chang'an City.
"You mean to let me borrow the name of Shenlu?" Li Kuan smiled and nodded, Li Chengqian smiled bitterly: "Where is this bullying? It's really bullying you!"
The white god deer is just a legend, and Li Kuan actually asked him to explain the cause and effect of his foot disease healed. If this matter is pushed to Shenlu, even the emperor will not doubt it, but doing so will have a great impact on him.
Recalling that in order to cure his foot disease, Li Kuan had committed a risk, biting his teeth and Li Chengqian agreed. As for the latter matter, Li Kuan didn't say much, leaving everything to Li Chengqian to handle by himself. In order to round up the lie, Li Chengqian had to continue to struggle.
Li Chengqian wanted to appear in the court room early, and let those who saw his jokes see how he stood up again, and he could finally exhale. Even though Li Chengqian was eager to let everyone see that he could stand up as soon as possible, he had to continue to hold back in order not to expose Li Kuan.
Three days later, Li Chengqian suddenly mentioned that he was going to leave the house, which was absolutely earth-shattering for everyone in the house. The destination of Li Chengqian's trip was Yunjing Temple. He used this as an opportunity to leave him alone, and then redeploy it to make everyone believe that he hunted a deer.
Although it is not the white god deer, according to the previous plan, he will eat venison and drink deer blood. To be honest, the taste is really not good, but he can only avoid unnecessary troubles by this method at the moment. Sure enough, the story of Li Chengqian hunting a deer the next day spread quickly, and there are rumors that he has recovered from his foot illness. No one believes this news.
If Li Chengqian's foot disease is cured, it will not be spread until today, so most people do not believe that Li Chengqian's foot disease is really cured. After Li Chengqian learned the news, he smiled and said that he had already passed the thought of arguing with others, and it would be more convincing to speak with facts instead of arguing with others.
