After leaving the study, seeing Xiao Shunzi coming to hug him, Yushu hurriedly ran into the hole in the rockery and pretended to play. Xiao Shunzi lay on the ground and watched for a long time. Seeing that it was digging with its claws here and kicking there, it seemed very happy, so she ignored it and sat not far away and waited.
The old ghost was able to expand and contract freely, and he also got into it, begging, "Tell me about the belly-opening, craniotomy, etc. just now. I don't believe that there is such a thaumaturgy in the world!"
Youshu caught a cricket, pressed it with her small claws, and said lightly, "The trick is useless to me. If you don't make the master's antidote, I won't tell you more. You can guess for yourself. ."
The old ghost looked at him playing with crickets with strange eyes, and said tentatively, "Are you really a human? Not a dog spirit?" Where does anyone like to play with bugs? And so much fun.
You Shu was so angry that he wanted to get out after humming twice, but was stopped by the old ghost, "Don't go, I just said the wrong thing, can't I apologize? Since you know so much thaumaturgy , how come you can't even cure your master's poison, and you have to ask me for help."
If you have hands and feet, and sooner or later you can make an antidote, where do you need to ask for help? He circled back to the small hole, squatted on the ground, raised his fat short front paws, and asked, "You want me to use this to dispense medicine?"
puff! The old ghost finally couldn't hold back, and he burst into laughter. Seeing that he had a hopeless expression on his face, he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, it's just that your current appearance is too funny."
You might as well not be comforted. Youshu turned around and faced the old ghost with her round buttocks. The back did not look desolate at all, but was rather amusing, and her little tail swayed uncontrollably from side to side. The old ghost almost laughed again, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands, and then he held back and said slowly, "To tell you the truth, your master has been poisoned deeply, and it will take four or five years of conditioning to completely improve, and it also needs to be matched with mine. The unique method of puncturing acupoints with golden acupuncture points. But now I am too weak to touch real objects, not to mention acupuncture for your master, and even dispensing medicines is a problem. I think when I was very obsessed, I could even condense during the day. Incarnate and walk in the palace."
Speaking of this, he paused and said tentatively, "So, in order for me to condense the entity as soon as possible, you have to teach me a few thaumaturgical techniques first, so that my obsession can continue to deepen."
You Shu turned around and asked again and again, "Do you want to know how many holes a person's heart has? How does the heart send blood to the whole body? How should a person with heart disease be treated? Do you want to know a person? How many bones are there in the whole body, how are they connected to support the movement of the human body?"
"Think about it, especially!" The old ghost nodded impatiently.
You Shu waved his front paws, "If you want, go and prepare an antidote. I'll tell you how much you want."
"Little Housheng, you are not kind!" The old ghost was anxious.
Youshu tapped his almost-showing body with her paw, and asked back, "Didn't you say you want to deepen your obsession? See for yourself, is your obsession enough now?" To deepen a person's obsession, The best way is not to meet his demands, but to hang him in the air so that he can see but not touch. Youshu, who has been teased by her master for several lifetimes, naturally knows it well.
The old ghost looked at his hands and looked at the puppy who looked cute and cute, but was actually cunning like a fox. He said helplessly, "Young master, you are cruel! I'll go to the hospital to prepare an antidote. But let's talk about it first, You can't save your master in the short term. His body is already in ruins, and he needs to take antidote every day, accompanied by acupuncture and moxibustion. After two years of continuous treatment, the toxins can be removed, and then he has to exercise hard. If he can stand up again, he has to look at himself. Besides, my golden needles have already been passed on to my apprentices and were lost in the war. The golden needles of the Taiyuan Hospital are very different from mine, and they will not work on your master's body. "
"Then I ask the master to play a set?"
"No need to bother, your dog's paw is much better than a golden needle. You have a golden light of merit in your body, you have Emperor Ziwei Qi, and a pure white soft light. The three are combined, and they are more effective than any elixir. The energy is forced to the dog's claws, press and massage according to the method of puncturing the acupoints taught by the old man. After a while, your master's legs will be able to regain consciousness. Of course, if the toxin is not clear for a day, it will re-erode the meridians through the blood. Just rubbing it doesn't help."
You Shu stared at her dog's paw, her eyes shining. The old ghost wanted to laugh again, afraid of annoying him, so he hurriedly got out and said lightly, "Once the antidote is made, the old man will bring it to you. You have to find a way for your master to eat it." He didn't think so. Optimistic, there are people, especially a prince, who are willing to eat pills brought back by their pets, and are not afraid of being poisoned to death.
There was a barking bark twice, which was counted as a response. He was about to run out, but when he heard crickets still calling in the hole, his claws were uncontrollably digging into the ground. After turning into a dog, many of his natures have been magnified. Looking at it this way, it's not really strange that the old ghost doubts his origin. His personality is no different from that of a normal puppy.
By the time the master left school, he had already caught two crickets, a beetle, and a butterfly, rubbed them all to a half-dead state, and placed them on the steps. Seeing his master being pushed out, he hurriedly ran over with the beetle in his mouth, his little tail wiggling wildly.
The person pushing the wheelchair was the common companion of the seventh and eighth princes. His name was Ouyang Hongcheng, and he was also Concubine Hui's nephew. He had a rather cold and arrogant personality. It actually has a bug in its mouth. It is said that the Zangxiu dog is a nobleman among dogs, and its demeanor is very elegant, why is this one so rude! Seventh Highness, please let it go away, and don't touch me."
The seventh prince didn't listen to his words, he just stretched out his hand to hug Shu, and didn't care that there were many dark plum blossom prints on his white robe. Youshu hurriedly placed the beetle in his palm and barked loudly. Ouyang Hongcheng immediately let go of the wheelchair and took a few steps back, showing a look of nausea.
Xiao Shunzi chased after him and said stupidly, "Your Highness, if kittens and dogs like their masters very much, they will send their favorite things as gifts. Youshu likes bugs very much, which is equivalent to treasures for him. But I can give it to you without hesitation, which shows that I love you to the core. The slave has never seen a puppy who has become intimate with its owner so quickly, and you and Youshu really hit it off."
The seventh prince was overjoyed by his few words, hugging Youshu was a fierce kiss, with a rare bright smile on his face. Only then did Ouyang Hongcheng realize that the puppy caught the worms because of his "love of the Lord". Although he was still a little scared and disgusted, he couldn't help showing an envious expression. The eighth prince followed behind the two of them, and a trace of jealousy and hatred quickly slid across his eyes.
You Shu was still in high spirits, but now she is a little tangled. It has always been his habit to give the caught bugs to his master, even when he was a human in the first three lives. How could it be the habit of kittens and puppies in Xiao Shunzi's mouth? Could it be that he is really suitable for being a dog
While thinking about it, a eunuch hurried over and said flatteringly, "Seventh Highness, the emperor asks you to go to the Qianqing Palace quickly, and the servant will have someone carry you there."
Before the seventh prince could agree, he was lifted up by several eunuchs. Seeing that some bugs that Shu had caught were still lying on the ground, he quickly ordered Xiao Shunzi to pack them in a glass bottle and bring them together. It is a treasure with Shu, and it must not be lost.
"His Royal Highness, what do you think the emperor will do when he finds His Highness the seventh?" Ouyang Hongcheng was extremely curious.
"Isn't it just asking him about his physical condition, what could be the matter." The eighth prince said in a low voice.
The two put the matter aside and went to Ganquan Palace for dinner together.
Many ministers have gathered in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, and they are sharing the Eighth Prince's ideas with each other, sometimes nodding in praise, sometimes tsk tsk tsk. Emperor Jing sat in the main seat with a slightly excited expression. He never expected the question that had troubled him for a long time to find the answer so easily, and it was raised by his thirteen-year-old son.
He can be considered to be very caring and caring for Lao Qi, but he never knew that he was so good. If there is no profound background, ingenious mind, keen eyesight, precise political sense, and old-fashioned political skills, it is absolutely impossible to write such an article. And he is only thirteen years old this year, how will he grow in the future
"It's a pity! It's a pity!" A pavilion elder sighed, and the others also recovered from their amazement and admiration, showing regret.
Emperor Jing naturally knew what they were sighing, and his expression was a little gloomy. The Taifu who handed over the papers pointed out, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Seventh is deliberately hiding his clumsiness. He has already done this... It's really unnecessary."
"This child has been like this since he was a child. If he doesn't fight or rob, he is silent, and there is nothing I can do." Speaking of this, Emperor Jing's eyes were cold for a moment, and he thought to himself: Lao Qi's legs are already broken, so you don't have to be too careful. , no one will target him, because the gains outweigh the losses. What is it that he suddenly stands out? Or who has stimulated him
Among all the princes, Emperor Jing is the most reassuring and caring for Lao Qi. I'm afraid that he is doing this to help Lao Qi's upper position, which will step on Emperor Jing's bottom line. Not to mention that the two are twins and have no qualifications to inherit the throne, but to say that he himself does not want to set up the prince too early.
While thinking about it, the seventh prince has been pushed into the main hall and bowed to him. He has a snow-white puppy in his arms, and his robe is covered with paw prints of plum blossoms. His appearance is very innocent, which makes Emperor Jing feel a little more comfortable. The courtiers debated with him on the matter of Longcheng, covering everything from people's livelihood to military affairs, from farming to taxation, but his answer was well-founded, logical and admirable, and then extended to other government affairs. , are also fickle, advancing and retreating leisurely.
"The matter of Longcheng will be handed over to Lao Qi. From now on, Lao Qi will come to the cabinet to discuss politics with you. It's getting late, so let's go." Emperor Jing said. Since my son has this ability, we might as well give him more opportunities.
The ministers did not feel that there was any problem in entrusting such a major state affairs to the thirteen-year-old Seventh Highness. His performance just now has fully demonstrated his superb political skills. Still the old saying, what a pity!
After everyone left, Emperor Jing tentatively said, "Lao Qi, you have solved a big problem for the royal father. If you want any reward, feel free to speak up, and I will definitely do it."
"Father, my son has two unkind requests, I hope you will agree." The seventh prince gently kneaded the puppy in his arms, his expression a little unpredictable.
Emperor Jing waved his hand generously, "You say it."
"I implore the royal father to allow my son to bring you Shu at all times. Today it was kicked out of the study, and my son was in a panic for a whole day. Also, please give my son a servant, who should be smart and discerning. Bright heart, will judge the situation, run errands and spread the word, but also be honest and reliable. After giving it, don’t use the name of Qianqing Palace as a messenger, it is said to be from the cat dog workshop.”
Emperor Jing suddenly understood why his son suddenly showed his sharp edge, was it to protect the puppy? He wanted to laugh a little, but after a little thought, he couldn't laugh. He couldn't even protect a puppy, showing how helpless he was. Moreover, his behavior of begging for slaves was also very meaningful, as if he wanted to put a spy next to him to look after him. Who is he afraid of? Who are you guarding against
He lives in Shuangxue Palace, but he lives in Ganquan Palace, but he asked for a secret stake from Qianqing Palace. Who else is he afraid to guard against except Concubine Hui or the Eighth Prince? An emperor is an emperor, and the more you think about it, the more doubts and suspicions you will have.
The Seventh Prince understands that for a person who is very suspicious, it is useless to complain directly. It is better to keep it secret and speak hard, and he will naturally fill in the rest of the inside story for you. He wanted to pretend to be ill and ask his father to invite an imperial physician to check on his body, but he suddenly thought that the imperial physician who treated his father seemed to be in-laws with the Ouyang family. When he detoxified him, the imperial physician also On the other hand, the worse the treatment, the worse it was, and he was eventually bedridden. In this way, Concubine Hui's hand is really long enough.
The two demands put forward by the son, one is to protect the puppy, and the other is to protect himself, which shows that he is very insecure. Emperor Jing hadn't fully doubted Concubine Hui and the eighth, but he secretly remembered it and said softly, "It's okay to give you a servant, but it's a little difficult to let your puppy go to the study. If it is noisy How about going to someone else to read?"
The seventh prince said eagerly, "Youshu is very well-behaved and will never quarrel with others. It can understand what Erchen says, and it can also read and write with Erchen." The words fell and pinched Youshu's two front paws , making a mockery, "You Shu, tell your father that you are very good and won't make trouble in class."
Youshu hurriedly squatted up, nodded and bowed again, wrinkling the tip of her nose and letting out a pitiful low hum.
The two main pets were naive, which made Emperor Jing laugh and slapped his palms, "Forget it, you can bring it with you if you like it, but the ugly words are ahead, if it is really noisy, you have to shut it back. Shuangxue Palace." Lao Qi is also pitiful, he doesn't even have anyone to accompany him, that's why he takes a puppy so seriously. What about the eighth, doesn't the eighth usually take care of his royal brother the most
Emperor Jing's eyes darkened, and suddenly suggested, "It's almost time for dinner, let's go, I will accompany you back to Ganquan Palace for dinner."
The group went to Ganquan Palace in a mighty manner. At that time, Concubine Hui, her son, and nephew had already served the table for dinner. When they heard the sound, they happily welcomed them out, and ordered the dining room to quickly add food. During the banquet, Emperor Jing frequently praised Lao Qi and encouraged Lao Ba Duo. The eighth prince had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cloudy, while Concubine Hui inquired without a trace what Lao Qi had done, which made the emperor so happy.
The mother and son laughed jealously, and the other was suspicious. Although they showed great love for the Seventh Prince, their expressions and actions inevitably revealed traces. Emperor Jing had intended to try it out, so he took a look at everyone's reactions, and then he realized that he was really negligent towards Lao Qi, and Concubine Hui and Lao Ba didn't seem to care much about him.
There is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time, not to mention the mother and brother. Thinking of this, Emperor Jing's impressions of Concubine Hui and the Eighth Prince fell instantly, and before leaving, he said something meaningful, "Concubine Ai, you have given birth to a good son for me. Lao Qi has great talents. I will definitely make him the heir. It's just a pity..."
Concubine Hui dreamed of asking the emperor to appoint her son as the heir, but she didn't expect this sentence to fall on Lao Qi. Lao Qi was her abandoned son, how could he suddenly surpass the princes and win the first place in Emperor Jing's heart? Should not be!
When she was struggling, she didn't notice that Xiao Shunzi brought back a frail eunuch from Cat Dog Square, but the aunt in charge of Shuangxue Palace called the person over for questioning, and learned that it was a stunned eunuch who had just entered the palace. Touqing, this allowed him to go in and serve.
The next day, the imperial decree came down, and the Seventh Prince obtained the qualifications to serve in the previous dynasty at the age of thirteen. That is to say, when his brothers had to go to the study room every day to study, he had already entered the Golden Palace, and even more, he had entered the cabinet, arguing with a group of old officials, and controlling the government. What kind of honor is this? What kind of qualifications
Concubine Hui almost fainted when she heard the news, and was about to ask the palace maid to go to her mother's house to summon her brother, but the brother had already handed over a sign to meet her. The two backed away and talked in low voices.
Ouyang Tao is the general of the hussars and the head of the Ouyang family. He has always been strategizing, but now his face is dark and his tone is decadent, "Didn't I tell you back then that I would definitely choose a good seedling and sacrifice the rest. Why did you choose the middle eight and leave the seventh? You? Do you know how miraculous Lao Qi is?"
"Ben, how would Ben Gong know. Back then, he was dumb and stupid, and he didn't say a word when he was teased for a long time. When he was three years old, he learned to call his father, mother and concubine, and he was half as smart as the old eighth. So Ben Gong talent… "
Ouyang Tao interrupted his sister angrily, "If you don't speak, you are stupid? I think you are the one who is really stupid! The seventh prince is called Neixiu! It's a pity to sigh when I meet me, and even a few patriarchs are convinced of him. Do you know what this means? It means that if we propose to make him the heir, no one will object!"
"Then what are you going to do? Sacrifice the eighth again? Ben Gong will never agree! If you hadn't offered to give up a child back then, how would Ben Gong have distanced himself from the seventh child since he was a child and dare not give him a little love? It's alright now, Ben Gong protects the eighth as his lifeblood, and you in turn let Ben Gong give up on him, you are taking Ben Gong's life!" Concubine Hui shed tears, but did not dare to cry.
Ouyang Tao thought about it, waved his hand and said, "The Seventh Prince's leg has been completely ruined, so let's leave him." This is the end of the matter, and it is irreversible.
"When will you start?" Concubine Hui asked quickly, for fear that her brother would change his mind later.
"Let's wait until the matter of Longcheng is resolved. The better he is, the more the emperor will pay attention to you and the eighth prince. If you can still touch his light now, let's touch it a little more. When he dies, those of his Merit is the eighth prince's biggest bargaining chip, after all, the two of them are oviparous brothers, so they should not be much different."
Concubine Hui thought this, but did not know that the Eighth Prince was too jealous, so he complained to the Tai Fu and came back early, and was listening outside the door at this time. His eyes were red and his face was distorted. He obviously hated Lao Qi to the extreme. Without this person, he would not have been compared so badly, and he would not have been in his way. He disdains to be in the light of the seventh, but instead hopes that the other party will die soon.
Sensing that the volume in the hall was getting lower, as if his uncle was about to come out, he hurriedly ran away. The palace maid who guarded the gate was a confidant of Concubine Hui. She knew that it was not a big problem for His Royal Highness to hear this matter, so she did not report it. He unknowingly ran to the cat and dog workshop, remembering the puppy that Lao Qi was holding in his arms all the time, he rushed up maliciously for a while, and asked the manager for a ghost mastiff weighing 70 to 80 kilograms, using an iron cage Drag back to domesticate.
After about three or four days of taming, he finally couldn't hold back. Seeing Lao Qi and the puppy playing in the back garden of Shuangxue Temple, he ordered the eunuch to release the ghost mastiff, "Go, let the devil bite that little cub to death. ."
"His Royal Highness, if the ghost mastiff is ordered to attack, it will never die. If the puppy runs back to His Highness Seventh Highness, it will also have a life-threatening worry. The slaves can't afford this!" The eunuch who specializes in domesticating ghost mastiffs was frightened. His face turned pale.
"If you hurt the seventh, I have Ben Gong on your shoulders, what are you afraid of!" This sentence hit the eighth prince's arms, he immediately grabbed the key from his hand and put the ghost mastiff away, pointing to the puppy and shouting, "Demon King, come on! "
The ghost mastiff broke open the cage door and ran out of the hall, saliva pouring out of the bloody mouth.
Youshu was having fun, when a hanging ghost passing by suddenly warned him, "Be careful, someone is going to let the dog bite you!" The ghosts in the palace were entrusted by the old ghost, and they would come to take care of Youshu from time to time. After all, he is a small dog the size of a slap, and he might be trampled to death by someone with no eyes while walking on the road. It can be said that he has no power to protect himself.
You Shu reflexively ran towards the master, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a huge blue shadow rapidly approaching, it turned out to be a ghost mastiff. How can the palace keep such a monster? He was so terrified that he would injure his master, and immediately turned around and ran towards the rockery not far away.
The seventh prince also noticed the abnormality and shouted hoarsely, "You Shu, come back! Come to me!" But no matter how he called, the little thing refused to turn back and took the danger away from him without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, the ghost mastiff had already approached, and its huge front paws scratched Youshu's back fiercely, causing his skin to tear open. Several ghosts tried to block him, but they were blasted away by the evil spirits emitted by the ghost mastiff, and exclaimed, "No, this dog grew up eating human flesh!"
When You Shu heard this, her scalp became numb, and she rushed into the hole in the rockery with the fastest speed in her life, curling up tightly into a ball.
