The middle-aged man who was supporting Ding Chang'an had a trace of hostility in his eyes, his eyes fixed on Ding Chang'an's drunken eyes, his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, dry and hoarse.

"My lord, did you drink with Imperial Physician Xing in the palace? Imperial Physician Xing said that the Holy Majesty is unconscious?"

Ding Changan snorted, his body limp and unable to stand still, he fell on the middle-aged man, raised his hand and slapped the middle-aged man on the forehead, and shouted drunkenly: "Presumptuous! Grandpa... ...Is it up to you to ask questions? Slightly..." Ding Changan hiccupped, vomiting the smell of alcohol into the middle-aged man's face.

The middle-aged man stared at Ding Chang'an sullenly, and after a while he sneered, took a step back, and suddenly let go of his hand.

Ding Changan's body was unstable, and he threw himself on the ground in a daze, only to hear a plop, and the whole body lay on the ground, still yelling and cursing indistinctly.

The middle-aged man touched his still hot cheek, raised his foot, and kicked Ding Changan.Ding Changan turned over, groaned, and cursed in confusion, "Who is crowding me?"

"Look who this is?" The middle-aged man glanced at Ding Chang'an who was drunk into a puddle of mud with disgust, and asked the servant beside him in a gloomy voice.

The young boy had delicate features, his eyes were rolling, he squatted down and opened Ding Changan's arm with his fingers, looked it over carefully, then got up and said, "Sir, the little one looks like he is in the alley on the other side. Second Master Zhong. I think he got drunk and went to the wrong place. Our place looks similar to the yard of Zhong’s second bedroom, and it’s a mess. The same is true for Second Master Zhong. Why isn’t there even a servant around?”

As soon as the boy finished speaking, there were some noises in the alley outside, and two or three boys ran over in a panic and eagerly.

One of them scrambled around in the alley, kicked the other one, and scolded sharply: "Stupid thing! Where is the second master? Where is it?"

"Little one, I just watched the second master come this way..." The kicked boy cried sadly, aggrieved and panicked, "Second master kept pushing into the crowd. There are so many people on this street. My little one The others didn’t pay attention for a while, so they lost it. Later, I saw the second master coming here from a distance, and the little one didn’t know why he disappeared in such a short time..."

"Idiot!" The boy who just asked the question stomped his feet angrily, pointed at the two servants and gritted their teeth, and cursed, "Master, let us take care of the second master. If this is lost, we all have to Eat the stick!" As he spoke, he kicked up again.He shouted sharply, "Hurry up and look for it!"

The shouting and cursing from the alley could be clearly heard in the courtyard. The boy standing at the door blinked his eyes, and looked outside through the crack of the door, and saw that the three people in the alley had come forward. One of them went up the steps.Apparently there was a knock on the door.The boy subconsciously looked at the middle-aged man again.

"Sir, this person?"

"Go and answer the door. Just say you didn't see anyone!" The middle-aged man said with a gloomy expression. There was invisible oppression in his voice, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. Ding Changan, who was limp on the ground, was dragged up, and quickly hid behind the door.

The sound of slapping on the door panel had already been heard, and the boy in the yard swallowed, feeling puzzled.But he didn't dare to ask any more questions, he just took a deep breath.After straightening his face, he went up and opened the door a crack, raised his chin and glanced at the person who came, and asked impatiently: "It's the middle of the night, it's so noisy, who is it?"

The faces of the boys outside the door froze, one of them frowned, tried not to get angry, cupped his hands towards the porter, and quickly went up to the porter to stuff a small silver ingot in his hand, forcing a smile He asked: "I hope you will forgive me for disturbing my brother's cleanliness. It was because our master was drunk and someone saw him coming this way, so I wanted to ask my brother if he saw someone passing by?" "

"No one, no one!" The boy at the porter yawned and waved his hands, and replied decisively, "This dark alley, how can anyone come here? It's almost the same as going to Chengyuan Street! That master is not Have you gone to watch the excitement on the street?" Then he yawned again, pointing his finger at the boy outside the door and said impatiently, "Let's go quickly, let's disturb our father's sleep, I still have to Hit the board!" He said, closing the door with a creak.

The three young servants outside the door frowned and looked at the somewhat deserted alley in distress, before letting out a irritated sigh for a long time.

"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and look for it?" The boy who was angry earlier kicked on the steps sullenly, pointed at one of them and ordered, "Go to the mansion and call some people secretly! Quick!"

The boy agreed with a groan, and ran away.

Not long after, the footsteps of the three gradually faded away.

The middle-aged man stared sullenly at the motionless drunk lying on the ground, and told the surprised and puzzled boy: "Drag it in, tie it up, and be careful! No one can enter this yard until I come back!" "As he said that, he lifted his foot and went out the door.

The boy stared blankly at the people on the ground, frowned and spat at Ding Changan, then lowered his head and looked around the ground, as if he was looking for something.

After searching around for a while, the young servant's eyes lit up, and he rushed into the house quickly, took out some rags from nowhere, crumpled them into balls, stuffed them into Ding Changan's mouth, and tied Ding Chang'an with cloth strips. Chang'an's hands and feet straightened up, touched the sweat on his head, took a deep breath, grabbed Ding Chang'an's arm, and dragged him to a remote corner of the yard.

After a while, the servant dragged him into the firewood room, wiped the cold sweat off his face with his hand, and sat down on the ground panting. He was about to take a breath, but suddenly heard a creaking sound at the door, and he hadn't returned yet. Overwhelmed, with a blur in front of his eyes, the young man groaned and fell down directly.

Ding Changan, who was soft on the ground, opened his eyes suddenly, and winked at the person coming.

Zhu Er, who was dressed in black, kicked the boy away, and stepped forward to untie the rag from Ding Changan's hand.Ding Changan's face turned red, he tore off the rag stuffed in his mouth, spit on the ground several times, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.Taking advantage of the situation, I also wiped it twice heavily on the face, revealing some of the original appearance.

Ding Changan bared his teeth and cursed, then got up from the ground, stared at Zhu Er with dark eyes and raised his eyebrows: "It's done?"

Zhu Er nodded expressionlessly, "Go."

Ding Changan breathed a sigh of relief, his face was a bit smug, and he caught a glimpse of the boy lying on the ground out of the corner of his eye, the stench in his mouth seemed to be stronger, and his face turned cold in an instant.He kicked the boy's ass, spat hard, patted the clothes on his body, picked up the rag ball, blocked the boy's mouth, tied him up again, then stood up and followed Zhu Eryi went out of the yard.He quickly went out from the alley and blended into the lively crowd on the street.

At the end of Haishi, Chengyuan Street was still crowded with people. As the Lantern Festival was approaching, the people in the capital were singing all night, and there was joy everywhere.The alley near the Third Prince's Mansion seemed a little deserted.A middle-aged man entered the alley anxiously.Knocking on the side door of the third prince's mansion, the servant in the same gate whispered something.The porter's boy stretched his neck vigilantly and looked around, and then respectfully invited him in.

The servant invited him into the study, and after a short while, the Third Prince, who was dressed in casual clothes, stepped into the study.

The middle-aged man hurriedly stood up and saluted the third prince with a long bow.

The third prince helped the middle-aged man, and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Xin is here, is there something important?"

Mr. Xin frowned and nodded, as if hesitating for a moment.Only then did she take a deep breath, lowered her voice and said to the third prince, "This matter is of great importance." He paused and looked around.

The third prince's complexion also darkened, and he raised his voice to call the servant waiting outside and said: "Everyone back down, no one comes near without my master's order!"

The little servant hurriedly agreed to leave, and then quietly closed the door.

"Mr. Xin, if you have something to say, you may as well say it directly. You are well versed in the art of distorting yellow and yellow, and you have always been cautious. I believe you."

Mr. Xin took a deep breath. At this moment, he turned his mind several times, and finally made a decision.Wealth and glory, you have to fight for it!This is a godsend opportunity, he can't let it go!

Mr. Xin took a deep breath, saluted the third prince again, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your trust. I have been watching the sky for the past few days and saw that the emperor's star is flickering, and there is no way to follow... The way of heaven changes, It’s even more unpredictable. Today, the Emperor’s Star is suddenly dimmed...I’m afraid that something will happen to the Holy One.” Mr. Xin’s last words were extremely slow, as if they were squeezed out of his throat, with a bit of a tinge. Terrified.

The third prince's complexion changed suddenly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Sir, do you mean that the Holy One has already passed?"

"Even though it's not far away, it's not far away." Mr. Xin still frowned, but took a melancholy and worried breath, "I'm afraid His Majesty is already sick in bed."

Mr. Xin paused, and suggested to the third prince anxiously: "I have a humble status and limited knowledge, so I'm afraid this prediction may not be accurate. Just to be prudent, I boldly suggest that the third master should go to a safe person to ask about it." Ask."

The third prince's complexion was gloomy, his eyes were dark, making it hard to see his anger, he took a long breath, looked at Mr Xin and said in a deep voice: "I believe sir! This is a big deal, sir, please stay at the residence for a while. "As he spoke, he raised his voice to call the confidant boy outside, and solemnly instructed, "Go to the imperial hospital to have a look, and secretly find out how the condition of the sage is! Take a look at what's going on in Wei's mansion."

The boy agreed and ran out quickly.

Looking at the deserted moonlight outside, the third prince frowned, and raised his heart little by little.

The Imperial Hospital has always been under the control of Concubine Wei Xian, and the princes did not intervene at all. If something happens to the Holy Majesty... the Imperial Hospital has blocked the news again, if there is any movement in the Wei family, it will not be easily noticed.This incident was too sudden for him to investigate carefully. I am afraid that the bosses are also staring at the Forbidden Palace and the Wei family.

But more than half an hour later, the servant who had gone out earlier came back panting and said to the third prince: "Master, today's imperial physician Xing and Zhou imperial physicians are on duty at the imperial hospital, and imperial physician Zhou is still in the palace. Xing did not come back. The imperial physician Xu Shi just came out of the palace, and was dragged away by the second master of the Zhong family before he got into the carriage. Later, he was invited to the mansion by the eldest prince, saying that he was asking for the pulse of Concubine Wen, but he has not returned yet."

The third prince listened to the boy's reply with a blank face, and tapped his fingers on the table, looking a little messy. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
