Chapter 113
There was no sound in the palace, and the five-story Mingyu Tower was like a lighthouse standing in the middle of Beijing, with golden lights shining on the windows.

Outside the study on the top floor, the empress dowager in a crimson home dress stood by the fence of the terrace, holding the binoculars that came from below as a tribute, and looked at the Wutong Street in the distance.

The study room was brightly lit, and Dongfang Liren was sitting behind a large desk with several stacks of files in front of him, writing and drawing on the pamphlets.

Dongfang Li was born as the second princess with golden branches and jade leaves, and she also likes martial arts, but practicing martial arts and investigating cases are two separate things, she has no chance to go out to investigate cases in person, and she has never learned these things before.

But today in Zhuji Street, the dignified lord came to show himself in person, which really surprised her.

Originally, his talent in martial arts was already lacking, but now that he can't even get a word in his job, how can he establish prestige in front of his subordinates in the future?
For this reason, after returning from Zhuji Street, Dongfang Liren was here to bury his head in studying the past files and learn experience, so that he would not be treated as a stupid prince by Ye Jingtang again when he encountered such an occasion next time.

While seriously studying, the empress dowager handed the binoculars to Hongyu, and walked into the room listlessly:

"Li Ren, who is your subordinate, has he come back?"

Dongfang Liren wrote something on the pamphlet without looking up:
"Who?"

"It's the young master surnamed Ye. Didn't you say last time that Ben Gong should learn to paint? You won't forget it, will you?"

Dongfang Liren paused, blinked his eyes, and remembered that he had promised last month to lend Ye Jingtang to the Queen Mother for a few days:
"Well...he just came back this morning. When he is free, I will let him come over so that the Queen Mother can paint well."

The empress dowager sat sideways on the beauty couch, playing with the little fur ball for practicing knives, and sighed quietly:
"You are a prince. For this kind of thing, it depends on whether your subordinates are free?"

Dongfang Liren explained: "Business is the most important thing. Ye Jingtang is a great talent. Today I took him to Zhuji Street to handle the case. I just gave him a little advice, and he looked like a torch. I was astonished to see it as a man of heaven. If such a capable minister is sent to the palace and let sister Xiangzhong stay by his side, the common people will lose a master Qingtian..."

Dongfang Liren's words were presumably explaining to the queen mother that Ye Jingtang was detained out of appreciation for talent, not to keep beautiful men for personal pockets.

But the empress dowager is not stupid, she just pretended she didn't hear the deceitful words, thought for a while and said:

"If you really have the ability, you have to find a way to use it wisely to share the worries of the Holy Majesty. I don't care about the court affairs, but I can feel that the situation is not very peaceful. Yesterday, the Palace accompanied the Holy Majesty to take a bath and found that the Holy Majesty had a white hair. How anxious I am..."

"Ok?"

Dongfang Liren's eyelashes moved slightly, and he raised his eyelids:
"White hair?"

"There's only one. The Holy Majesty said it's fine, but I don't think so. There are not a few diligent emperors in history who became sick from overwork. Although you are busy, at least you can take a break from your busy schedule. If you have nothing to do, you can hang out with Ye Jingtang to relax." ;The Holy Majesty has to deal with government affairs when he wakes up, and he can play with the maids around him for a while every day, every day, every year..."

Dongfang Liren blinked his eyes, and felt that things were not that simple. As an emperor of a country, the pressure on his shoulders was indeed great, but with his sister's sturdy character, which dared to pull down even the emperor, she was completely able to resist it, so how could she be sad? ...

Could it be that she kept Xiu Nan in her own pocket...

While thinking wildly, the white-haired old woman silently appeared in the study and reported softly:
"Your Highness, just now Young Master Ye went to investigate the murder case in Zhuji Street, and found the murderer in the Anti-Theft Division..."

"Ok?"

Dongfang Liren came back to his senses and closed the booklet, quite surprised:

"He ran out alone to investigate the case at night? How did he squat down to the murderer?"

There was admiration in the eyes of the white-haired old woman:
"According to the report, Master Ye saw that the walking palm was real during the day, but felt that there was something else inside, so he deliberately said that the palm technique was suspicious, and then squatted around the corpse at night to see if anyone came to destroy the corpse. As a result, the murderer I really came here..."

Dongfang Liren frowned: "Does he suspect that the government has internal support?"

The white-haired old woman nodded solemnly:

"Judging from the results, there is indeed an internal response in the yamen. After finding out that Mr. Ye saw the 'false feet' of his palms, he secretly reported the letter to the murderer."

Dongfang Liren blinked his eyes: "Uh...how did he see that the government has an internal response?"

The white-haired old woman thought for a while, and reluctantly explained:
"Ye Gongzi should have noticed that the palm technique is a little unreasonable, just try it casually. The murderer will come at night to destroy the corpse, which shows that the murderer himself believes that there is a difference between the palm technique and Zhang Henggu's palm technique, and the murderer is by no means ordinary. People from the Heavenly Sect... um... I can only say that Mr. Ye has sharp eyesight, excellent intuition, and good luck..."

Dongfang Liren was surprised, and felt that Ye Jingtang's ability to handle cases seemed to be outrageous compared to his talent in martial arts.She nodded slowly:

"The unique palm technique of Huipingtian Sect still has an internal response in the government. This matter is definitely not small... Has the murderer caught it?"

"Young Master Ye said that the murderer is very cunning, and he is trying to track it down. When fighting with the murderer, Young Master Ye must have been injured, and he just went to the Imperial Physician's residence..."

"Injuried?!"

Dongfang Liren's face changed slightly, and he stood up: "Queen Mother, please rest first, I'll go out and have a look."

The Empress Dowager waved her hands in an understanding way:
"Go, don't be in a hurry to come back to accompany your mother at night."

?

Dongfang Liren paused, feeling that the Queen Mother had something to say, but after thinking about it, let it go...
-
Wende Bridge, Wang Family Mansion.

Wende Bridge is located in the south city, adjacent to the outer wall of the imperial city. Most of the residences of princes and princes are here. Therefore, the living environment is very good. The street is paved with white stone floor tiles, and there are green walks on both sides.

At night, although there are not many pedestrians, there are lanterns hanging on both sides of the street, which is considered to be one of the few blocks in the capital equipped with 'street lights'.

The mansion of the old imperial doctor Wang is in the center of Wende Bridge. In front of it is a medical hall, above which is hung a golden signboard of "Xinglin Shengshou", which was written by the founding emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty.

There are several buildings behind the medical hall, where the patients recuperate, and several rooms are lit.

The last room is the Wang family's house, which is quite large in scale, but very simple, and all kinds of medicinal herbs are planted in the garden.

In the main hall of the Wang family, a candle lamp was lit.

Ye Jingtang sat upright beside the tea table, with his right hand stretched out on the soft pillow.

Opposite the tea table was an old man in a white robe, with white beard and hair, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, with his left hand clasped on Ye Jingtang's wrist, and his right hand gently stroking his fingers, frowning in thought.

Old imperial doctor Wang is over eighty years old. He was a barefoot doctor who ran the rivers and lakes with his master in the previous dynasty. After that, he served as an envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital until now, counting the abolished emperor, he has experienced four emperors successively.

The miracle doctor "Medicine King Li", who no one dared to mess with in the world, studied under the old doctor Wang.A bottle of Yulong ointment from Medicine King Li can be sold for a hundred taels of silver in the rivers and lakes. One can imagine the status of old doctor Wang.

But it was such an old genius doctor who said that you were dead, but you didn't dare to confirm that you were still alive. At this time, his face was quite serious, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"..."

Ye Jingtang knew the name of Miracle Doctor Wang, and thought he was fine at first, but seeing this appearance, his heart turned cold. He was afraid that Luo Nvxia who was waiting outside would be heartbroken, so he approached and asked tentatively:
"Old Wang, I...is there any help?"

Old doctor Wang gently rubbed his fingers, and after a long time, he responded:
"It's 'Snow Moth Scale', commonly known as 'White Lime'. It's more common on the North Liang side. Not many people use it in the Great Wei Dynasty. It's not a poison, but it's powerful because it sticks to the flesh and can block the air veins. It's difficult to deal with it in a short time. Use it more often." Come to sneak attack or block the pursuers."

"Oh... how should I solve it?"

"You can recover on your own in seven days. The old man will give you an injection, and you will be fine in two quarters of an hour."

"..."

Ye Jingtang secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time was a little speechless, secretly said: Sesame is a big deal, why have you watched it for so long?It made me start to think about how to explain the funeral...

But it's definitely not easy to say, Ye Jingtang smiled and said: "Old Wang really lives up to his reputation, the white powder really looks like lime, I didn't expect it to have a lot of origin..."

"Snow goose scales are also sprinkled on people's faces, and their effect is not much different from that of quicklime, which is why they are commonly called 'white lime'. They are objects that do not respect martial arts. If you sprinkle them correctly, this thing is actually not as effective as quicklime. It's just that people with high martial arts skills are not bad, and quicklime can't be sprinkled, so the Jianghu Xiaoxiao figured out this thing."

"Oh... teachable."

While old doctor Wang was speaking, he took a gold needle from the needle box next to it, and pierced it on Ye Jingtang's left arm, and then pricked it on Ye Jingtang's fingertip. Fall into a porcelain bowl.

Ye Jingtang found out that the old doctor Wang was taking the pulse again after administering the needle, and asked:

"Is there any other illness?"

Doctor Wang tapped the handrail with his fingers, pondered for a long time, raised his old eyes and asked:

"Who is your own father?"

?

Ye Jingtang didn't expect that old doctor Wang would ask this, so he shook his head and said:
"I'm an abandoned child, picked up by my adoptive father, and I don't know my life. Could it be that Mr. Wang saw something?"

The old doctor Wang stroked his beard: "Long begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, you have good bones, and you can also be among the best people I have ever met in my life. Your parents are by no means idle people, they are just curious."

"Hehe~ Mr. Wang's praise is probably because my adoptive father has played well since he was a child."

tick~
tick~
The blood drops from the fingertips dripped into the bowl, and the black color faded visible to the naked eye.

The old doctor Wang took the pulse seriously, and after a long time said:
"The 'muscles, bones and skin' are the appearance, and the 'spirit, energy and spirit' is the inside. Only tempering the muscles and bones, but not the inside, will overdraw the innate energy of a person, which is not the way to longevity. No matter what martial arts you practice in the future, you must Keep that in mind."

Ye Jingtang felt that Mrs. Wang had something to say, but it was hard to confirm, so he nodded and said:

"I will definitely pay attention in the future. But Mr. Wang has seen my martial arts skills?"

"The method of luck is to use the person's energy channels. As long as you have profound experience, you can tell one thing or two from the strength of the energy channels. I have checked the pulse of Kuang Yazi, Qiu Tianhe, and the old gun leader, and I can see the shadow from you. "

Ye Jingtang's eyes were surprised, and he nodded his head in a salute: "I'm sorry, I'm ignorant. Can Mr. Wang give Zheng Feng a pulse?"

"After Zheng Feng was seriously injured, he came here once, and his energy channels were cut off. Even having children and grandchildren is an extravagant hope. This old man is a doctor, not a god, so he cannot be saved."

Ye Jingtang's eyes shifted slightly, but he didn't show any abnormality, he just nodded slowly.

"Don't move around, you can pull out the needle by yourself if your finger no longer drips blood."

After the old doctor Wang finished speaking, he got up with a cane and walked to the back of the hall.

Ye Jingtang was a little emotional, after a moment of silence, he suddenly remembered that Niao Niao was still working outside, and looked outside, only to find that Luo Nv Xia who was waiting outside the door had disappeared for some reason...
