The first-level Zhaohua Thousand-level Hall

Chapter 130 Protect yourself first
Xu Weiwan died, set on fire by the queen, Yang Yunping also died, died in the dungeon, when he died, it was said that his face was beyond recognition, the entire handsome face was completely ruined, his eyes were wide open, his limbs were convulsed, he died of pain Yes, but the people below reported that they committed suicide in fear of crime. Yang Yunping was already a scheduled dead person from the time he was caught and involved with Xu Weiwan. If such a person died, no one would say anything. Lang Sheng just explained a few words, and then suppressed the matter. The emperor didn't know that Xu Qingluo had been to the cellar and gave Yang Yunping such a big gift.

Otherwise, the emperor would not have asked her to take his pulse and heal him at this moment.

Xu Qingluo put his hand on the emperor's wrist, and slightly closed his eyes.

The emperor was furious because of the matter of Xu Weiwan and Yang Yunping, and was bedridden again, and even suffered another headache. Although Xu Weiwan and Yang Yunping both died miserably, he was still angry. It couldn't help him relieve his headache, but the newly developed spices sent by Xu Qingluo helped. The people around the emperor were all smart people, so he introduced Xu Qingluo here after thinking about it.

The emperor's breathing was a bit heavy, he was old after all, a little trouble or a little movement would be a big movement at this age.

"Your Majesty's dragon body is fine. Generally speaking, you still have a headache and a little bit of anger. You just need to prescribe some rejuvenating medicine and the spices I presented to Your Majesty."

Xu Qingluo put down the emperor's wrist carefully, and bowed.

"The medical skills of the Xu family are better than those of the imperial physicians. I heard that your Xu family has always been a family of medicine, and your ancestors were practitioners of medicine. If you follow that, the medical skills of your ancestors are also good. Considering serving the royal family in Taiyuan Hospital?"

The emperor gently opened his eyes and asked suddenly.

These words are admiration, but they also imply some other things that are difficult to answer. If you say that your medical skills are really good, why didn't you go to the Tai Hospital to serve as early as possible, instead of hiding in the folks?If the medical skills are not good, how can you go to the emperor.

"It's really strange. Xu's daughter's medical skills are so extraordinary. If such medical skills had been in the palace early, the concubine's health would have been better recuperated."

Concubine Xian took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from the emperor's forehead, and said softly.

Compared with the emperor's unintentional words, she is the one with the heart. Xu Qingluo cooperated with her for a while, but she was deeply offended.

"I would like to report to Your Majesty, that women's medical skills dare not be compared with the adults of the Imperial Hospital, but they just happen to have researched some rare prescriptions for recuperating people's body and mood. Their medical skills are better than those of the Imperial Hospital who have studied medical skills for many years His Majesty is absurd."

"As for my ancestor, my daughter doesn't know whether my ancestor's medical skills are good or not, but I just think that he was born in the countryside after all, that is, he has a certain reputation in the local area, the capital is outstanding, and there are many medical experts in the Imperial Palace Hospital. You are timid, how dare you go straight to the Tai Hospital."

Xu Qingluo's words were humble, but her expression was neither humble nor overbearing. Her face was extremely beautiful, but her expression was extremely calm, with a different temperament.

The emperor looked at this eloquent little girl, and when Concubine Xian was about to speak out, he suddenly smiled: "I don't understand medical skills, but I know who can relieve my pain better, Mrs. Xu, you don't have to belittle yourself." , The place where your Xu family welcomed Shengjia this time was well built, but I am more satisfied with your Xu family's performance of using medical skills to save people and save people without taking credit for it. I am not a person who does not reward for meritorious service. of."

Although he still didn't say what kind of reward he would give to the Xu family, but this time, the emperor bluntly appreciated the Xu family and Xu Qingluo, Xu Qingluo knelt down to thank him, while Concubine Xian quietly clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

This woman, Xu Qingluo, is a huge threat to her, and she must be eliminated no matter what.

Since the emperor appreciates her, he can't start from the open, so let's use the dark.

A stern look flashed in Concubine Xian's eyes.

-

Xu Qingluo was escorted out of the emperor's room by the emperor's personal eunuch, but no one dared to underestimate her just because of this gesture.

"Miss Xu, General Lang wants to take you somewhere."

When the eunuch in the house had just entered the room and Xu Qingluo had just turned around, a man dressed in imperial guards bowed his head and came to him.

Xu Qingluo stood still: "Going to a place, where is it going?"

She just asked casually.

"Miss Xu, General Lang said he would give you a surprise, you will know the place when you arrive."

The guard raised his head, revealing a rather heroic face, just looking at it made him feel upright, and his words were also flattering.

Moreover, this imperial guard looks familiar to her, she seems to have seen it by Lang Sheng's side several times, and it seems that she has really put in a lot of effort to find the familiar imperial guard.

The medicine box in Xu Qingluo's hand paused inconspicuously, looked up at the other party, and smiled slightly: "Ah Cheng is also surprised."

She carried the medicine box in her hand on her shoulder, and the imperial guard rushed to pick it up: "Miss Xu, I will carry it for you."

A trace of guard flashed across his eyes as he looked at the medicine box.

Xu Qingluo did not refuse: "Be careful, there are many medicines in it that cannot be easily touched."

The Imperial Guard nodded repeatedly.

Xu Qingluo followed the other party all the way, and the more they walked, the more remote, the imperial guard looked back at her several times, as if afraid that she would run away, but Xu Qingluo followed at a leisurely pace, without any doubt .

There was a trace of disdain and pride in the eyes of the imperial guard: "Miss Xu, it's not far ahead."

There was the sound of gurgling water in front, and there was a strange fragrance in the wind: "Has anyone ever told you to use medicine in front of a doctor, unless that person claims that his medical skills are better than the other person, and I haven't seen it yet?" Have been to drugs that can stump me."

Xu Qingluo's fingertips landed on the branches and leaves beside him: "Oleander, it's really a good thing, isn't it?"

The imperial guard slowly turned his head, and the honest smile on his face was gradually replaced by sinister: "Miss Xu, even if the medicine is useless to you, it's too late to realize it now."

The rustling of branches and leaves resounded from all around, and several men who were dressed as servants of the Xu family, but who looked unfamiliar, surrounded Xu Qingluo with obscene expressions on their faces, and approached step by step.

An air of hooligans.

"Miss Xu, if you are smart, serve these people obediently. The master said that you like to catch traitors. I don't want your life now. It is enough for you to put on a good show yourself. I will help you take care of this medicine box." Keep it, by the way, I want to tell you that General Lang has something to do with him now, and I'm afraid he won't be able to rescue the beauty in time like he was in the city lord's mansion."

The imperial guard's eyes wandered around Xu Qingluo's face, he smiled, and said to a few hooligans surrounding Xu Qingluo: "It's cheaper for you guys."

Several hands grabbed at Xu Qingluo at the same time, just as Xu Qingluo's hand was about to move, a gust of wind accompanied by screams rang out all around.

"Ah, my hand!"

Blood flowed out from the wound that passed quickly, and several hooligans pretending to be servants of the Xu family clutched their broken hands and screamed.

In the blink of an eye, the green branches and leaves were already stained with blood. It looked terrifying. A saber was deeply pierced in the grass, and blood overflowed from the sword.

Apparently Lang Cheng threw the saber directly in a rage, breaking the wrists of four people with one sword, which was also extremely strong.

"General Lang, aren't you—"

The imperial guard's complexion changed and his figure flickered, but instead of running away, he grabbed Xu Qingluo.

"you dare!"

Lang Cheng let out a cold cry, and his feet thumped heavily, and he jumped up like a big bird, and grabbed it towards the imperial guards.

The distance between the imperial guards and Xu Qingluo was only one step, and the distance between Lang Sheng and him was thirty steps away, no matter how you looked at it, it was too late.

The next moment, the guard's body suddenly softened, like a puddle of mud, and fell to the ground, his eyes were full of horror and disbelief: "How could that be?"

Xu Qingluo stopped at his side, looking down at the imperial guards: "I didn't say a word just now, if you want to deal with people who are proficient in medicine and poison, the best way is to deal with them." Not to take away the other party's medicine box, but to subdue or kill them by surprise from the beginning, and don't touch any of their things."

"By the way, if Ah Cheng knew that he was preparing a surprise for me, or that he was planning to go to such a place, he wouldn't be Lang Sheng."

Even being kissed by her would keep shouting absurdly and ignorantly. It took me so long to get used to the words that men and women could not accept kisses, and I was still a little cautious. Where could I suddenly get enlightened, and I would know what surprises to prepare for her all at once.

Xu Qingluo smiled and greeted Lang Sheng who was full of anxiety and worry: "Look, I'm actually very clever. The last time I returned home was just that one time."

If it wasn't for the Xu family, where Lang Sheng had guaranteed safety, and even with the medicine by his side, Xu Qingluo wouldn't be easily lured away.

"Also, help you find a mole who broke out from time to time in the Imperial Guard."

The anxiety and worry in Lang Sheng's eyes fell, and anger resurfaced inside: "You are really."

"I'm really smart, right?"

Xu Qingluo blocked Lang Sheng's words, and put his head on the man's shoulder: "If I fail, don't you still have you? This is Xu's residence, I believe you can always check for me."

She said she believed in him, but he didn't believe in himself, even if there was only the slightest mistake, he didn't dare to imagine it.

God knows how anxious he was when he found out that Xu Qingluo had disappeared with the people. If he had come late just now, God knows what would have happened.

Lang Sheng completely forgot Xu Qingluo's tricks. Looking at the hooligans with severed wrists and howling, his eyes were full of murderous intent. With a wave of his hand, several stones flew out with a few whizzing sounds, embedded in the hooligans. The rogue's forehead was in the middle, and the wailing and screaming stopped abruptly. Even the Imperial Guard who was struggling to move froze, not daring to move again: "Anyway, there will be no next time."

The words were addressed to Xu Qingluo, and it was the first time he spoke so harshly to Xu Qingluo, but Xu Qingluo didn't take it as disobedience. If she met Lang Sheng like this, she wouldn't be in a good mood.

So this time, she had a particularly good attitude towards Lang Sheng.

Lang Cheng held her hand all the time, with a cold face, watching his close subordinates lift and press down the corpses of those hooligans and the imperial guards, and there was no one else around except the two of them Afterwards, he finally spoke again: "Those people entered Xu's mansion without authorization, sneaked, and plotted against the law. , I don’t know who bought it, with the intention of attracting thieves, this matter, I will definitely let someone report it to His Majesty for a thorough investigation.”

In any case, this matter cannot be related to Xu Qingluo, especially what they were going to do, they don't need to be successful, but they just have this intention, and if people know about it, Xu Qingluo's reputation will be ruined.

So those hooligans must die.

"I will also find out who is behind the guard."

The darkness at the bottom of Lang Cheng's eyes was extraordinarily deep.

"Some people reached out to the Imperial Guard, so don't blame me for chopping off those people's hands. I will definitely protect you."

It was the first time that Xu Qingluo knew that Lang Sheng was actually so domineering and decisive. It's not that he didn't know the vicious methods, but he never did it for himself.

The girl didn't feel any hindrance to the man, but felt that she understood the man better.

A person can never be explained by simple good and evil, and no one is always straightforward. She is very glad that Lang Sheng showed her fangs for her. Only in that way can she feel more at ease. In this world, such In the imperial court, if a man has no way to guard against it, no matter how hard she tries, she will always be unable to catch up. She has always been proficient in such small ways as shady medicine, which can help men, but cannot. Be on guard all the time.

What's more, men need to be on guard against others.

Yang Qian's death undoubtedly caused a thorn in Xu Qingluo's heart. Yang Qian died just not far from her. Even if Yang Yunping died, he died so miserably. It can't be exchanged for a living Yang Qian. For the first time, she clearly knew her own incompetence and powerlessness.

"I believe you."

The girl looked up, looked at the man's cold and sharp side face, suddenly raised her toes, and planted a light kiss on the man's chin.

Someone who can use the imperial guards to impersonate Lang Sheng means someone who she happens to be familiar with. He doesn't have a certain ability, but he can't do it.

Such people, based on the people Xu Qingluo has come into contact with, there are quite a few suspects, such as Concubine Xian, the prince, the queen, and maybe other people who dislike her but she has never met before. Those individuals in the palace, never underestimate their treacherous thoughts.

Maybe you feel that you have never met or interacted with a person before, and she will not deal with you, but those who frame you the most and hate you the most may be these people who feel irrelevant.

Lang Sheng directly killed those local hooligans and convicted the imperial guards. What he had done was enough. As for the rest, Xu Qingluo wanted to do it himself.

The man has determination, cruelty and means to make her feel at ease, but the man's means of determination are never used to investigate the insidious tricks in the harem. She can handle those individuals.

So Xu Qingluo didn't tell the man her doubts, but told the man an idea: "The Imperial Guard is one of your subordinates. You have not been in charge of the Imperial Guard for a long time. There must be more than one of them. I have a way to make it easier for you." Those people did it one by one, and even if they didn't do it, they didn't dare to move their claws easily."

Lang Sheng raised his eyes and waited for Xu Qingluo's idea.

"You only need to prepare a detailed drawing, Xu's"

Xu Qingluo's smile was full of coldness.

In just one night, everyone in the Xu residence knew how many people Lang Sheng had caught. It is said that some of them were even members of the Imperial Guard this time, and he dressed up a few outsiders as servants of the Xu family. Brought into the Xu family, and even found the topographic distribution map of the Xu family on the body of the dead person. The most obvious marked place is the place where the emperor lived. I had some doubts in my heart because of several incidents. After the hornet's nest, the emperor didn't care about the headache, and immediately ordered people to thoroughly investigate all the people who came with him in Xu's mansion. Anyone who had suspicious contact with the outside, or who behaved differently, was arrested one by one. Come out, interrogate for a while, not to mention, this time the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, the people below did not dare to be perfunctory, and Xu Qingluo ordered the servants of the Xu Mansion to cooperate a little, it was really among the imperial guards and palace people A lot of suspicious people were found.

The ones who suffered the most were the empress prince and concubine Xian. Although the emperor did not find any direct evidence, placing manpower in the imperial guards is not the same as placing manpower in the palace.

The emperor was even more indifferent to the crown prince and empress, and he was also a little indifferent to the concubine Xian.

It's just a pity that the person behind the only living Janissary died before being found.

Concubine Xian and the Empress and Crown Prince both wanted to be careful, but Xu Qingluo and Lang Sheng had fewer entanglements and troubles. In the rare leisure these few days, he personally took her out for a few times and took her to see Looking at the flowers, looking at the trees and looking at the river, Xu Qingluo has seen a lot of these things. Men's means are not high at all, but what a man does makes Xu Qingluo feel extraordinarily happy.

Different people do the same thing, the effect is naturally different.

The happy time passed quickly, before Xu Qingluo and Lang Sheng got together enough, the emperor announced that he would leave Wuzhou City and return to the capital.

In the blink of an eye, the emperor had already lived in Xu's residence for more than ten days, almost half a month, Wuzhou City was not such a prosperous and rare city, if not for too many things happened after arriving here, he would have already left.

By the way, the emperor finally issued a reward to the Xu family. From then on, the Xu family can directly pay tribute to the Imperial Palace Hospital. Although the Xu family's pharmacy is large, it is only in Huai County, in places like Wuzhou City, which is not as close as the capital city. Compared with many big pharmacies in China, it cannot be compared at all.

Following the emperor's decree, the Xu family's lintel has been raised, just like the imperial merchant's position among merchants, the Xu family's position in the pharmacy has also been raised to a level that he can look up to in an instant.

It's just that compared to the joy and excitement of the rest of the Xu family, Xu Qingluo was not happy at all.

Medicinal materials have always been like food, the things that are most likely to be tampered with, especially the medicinal materials that go to the palace. The Xu family must be careful in the future. Besides, she doesn't want Lang Sheng to leave with the emperor so soon. .

It's only a few days to get along peacefully and happily, how can it be possible.

But Xu Qingluo didn't have the ability to let the emperor keep Lang Cheng, and she couldn't stop him from moving forward. This man was never a house bird that could be held in his hands, but an eagle that roamed the world.

The emperor was in a rather uneasy mood. Too many bad things had happened in Xu's mansion, so he just wanted to leave as soon as possible, but the crown prince did not treat him well because the emperor found out a few hidden clues in the imperial guards. Shocked, not knowing what to think, he suddenly begged to see the emperor and suggested that the emperor hold a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven.

"Father, I feel that you rarely come to Wuzhou City once, but because of several incidents, your holy prestige has been damaged. What you are doing now is not to leave in a hurry, but to announce your majesty and the name of the emperor to everyone in the world. My minister proposes that you hold a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven, so that everyone will admire and kneel at your feet, knowing that your position as the son of heaven is bestowed by gods."

The crown prince suggested to the emperor with a swearing look.

The prince's words were really pleasant to hear, and the other ministers and concubines who came with the emperor saw that the emperor was in a bad mood, and also thought the prince's proposal was good. At least the emperor's mood would be much better if the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was completed.

The emperor is in a good mood, and those who follow the emperor will have a better life.

The emperor finally agreed.

It just messed up Lang Sheng, who was in charge of the safety of the emperor and the so-called Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony.

He doesn't touch the ground every day, not to mention talking about love with Xu Qingluo, even if he sleeps less than half of the time on weekdays.

Xu Qingluo found Lang Sheng when he was free: "The dark circles under your busy eyes have come out."

He took out two medicine bottles from his sleeves and handed them to him: "One for internal use and one for external application. Don't wait until the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, so that people will look at General Lang and think someone has slapped him in the face."

Lang Sheng put it away with a smile, and Xu Qingluo gave him a lot of pills, all of which were very useful.

"Don't worry, it's been a busy day or two, but if His Majesty leaves, I will leave too, I have some"

"You are not willing to."

The man pressed these four words out of his mouth, and his eyes were full of silence.

Xu Qingluo's fingertips gently hooked the man's fingertips: "We won't be separated for too long, with His Majesty's will, our Xu family can't stay in Wuzhou City, maybe it's just Yue Xu, I have to find a new residence in the capital."

"I have a general's mansion in the capital."

The man hurriedly answered.

The girl burst out laughing, her eyes were full of coquettishness: "We are not married yet, can we live with you?"

Lang Sheng also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, nodded silently, and said for a while, "I will definitely find the right time to ask His Majesty to marry you."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if His Majesty bestowed the marriage."

This is Xu Qingluo's truth.

"I want everyone to envy you."

This is also Lang Sheng's insistence.

"An accident may happen during the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. Mu Qing and the third prince may make a move."

Before leaving, Xu Qingluo told Lang Sheng about this matter.

"When the time comes, protect yourself first and promise me."

Compared with the emperor, Lang Sheng's safety is the most important.

The man didn't agree to the girl's words in the end, perhaps because he knew he couldn't do it.

Langsheng finally had Langsheng's persistence.
