The first-level Zhaohua Thousand-level Hall

Chapter 160 Do You Care About Him
Xu Qingluo walked past the kneeling man without looking sideways, leaving behind a scent of medicine.

Lang Cheng couldn't help but look up at Xu Qingluo's back, and the girl's angry voice echoed in his ears: "You don't want your legs anymore, don't waste my energy in treating them, and I'll settle the score with you when I go back."

When it was clearly like this, Lang Sheng felt inexplicably wanting to laugh. He really looked like an old married couple who had lived together for a long time. In his memory, when his father was still alive, he and his mother got along like this. He complained and got angry when he did something dangerous, but he was more concerned than anyone else.

His eyes couldn't help following the girl's figure. He saw that she was holding an exquisite jade box in her hand. He didn't know what it contained. There was also a middle-aged Taoist priest beside her. That Taoist priest Lang Sheng recognized it. Xuanhe, one of the Taoists in charge of Shoukang Palace.

The ease in Langcheng's heart was gradually replaced by worry, and his knee, which hadn't moved for three hours, couldn't help but move.

He vaguely understood the emperor's thoughts, although six hours was a bit long, but after kneeling today, the emperor had more trust in him, at least he would not pursue the matter of him attacking the prince in the court.

And Xu Qingluo came here at this time, not because Lang Sheng was narcissistic, it was hard for him not to guess that the other party came to plead for him.

The emperor won't move him, but he won't necessarily move Xu Qingluo.

Lang Cheng's eyes darkened, and he opened his mouth to call someone.

For Xu Qingluo, it is not too difficult to verbally admit his mistakes and confess his guilt.

Xu Qingluo obviously didn't look back, nor did he have eyes behind his back, but when Lang Sheng was about to open his mouth to call for someone to inform him, Xu Qingluo spoke out first: "Master Xuanyuan of Shoukang Palace and the little girl are here to offer medicine to His Majesty." Dragon Tiger Pill, I hope His Majesty will allow you to have an audience."

Lang Cheng watched helplessly as Xu Qingluo and the old Taoist Xuan Yuan were greeted in by the servant who was hurriedly driven out.

No one cared to listen to what he said at this time.

Lang Sheng stayed in the palace for such a long time, so he somehow knew the emperor's longing for immortality and pills.

If Xu Qingluo was the only one, naturally he would not get so much attention from the emperor, but now Xu Qingluo has an extra Xuanyuan beside him. Although Xuanyuan is one of the three Taoist priests in charge, he is the best at pills among the three. However, Lang Cheng did not forget the happy look on Xuan Yuan's always serious and proud face that he saw just now.

Obviously, on the first day Xu Qingluo entered Shoukang Palace, he concocted a useful elixir, which was so useful that Xuan Yuan followed him in person with a happy expression on his face.

Lang Sheng had always been at ease with Xu Qingluo's medical skills. If she could really refine good medicine, the emperor would definitely reward her. If someone wanted to touch her in the future, he would have to be more cautious.

Thinking of these, Lang Sheng felt joy and pride in his heart.

For a moment, Lang Cheng forgot that he was still kneeling, and he also forgot the biting cold and pain on his knees. The Gu poison on his body only broke out once yesterday, which was when his body was weakest.

The cold air in the gaps of the bluestone slabs is like a piercing bug, penetrating through the fabric and continuously burrowing in along the cracks in the bones.

-

Lang Sheng temporarily forgot the physical pain, but Xu Qingluo did not forget, not only did not forget, but his teeth itch with hatred.

From the bottom of her heart, she scolded the emperor for being a bastard. The mill has not been removed yet, and the donkey is already planning to kill it?
This side of the border has not yet been secure, and Lang Sheng, a first-rank general, has become a punisher who wants to be punished.
She spent so much time maintaining Langcheng's leg, she was afraid that something wrong would cause the good man to become crippled again, but the emperor didn't care whether it was fair or not, just because of Langcheng's truth in court, he actually let him Kneel for six hours.

If it hadn't been for the thought that the crown prince would ascend the throne directly after the emperor's death, Xu Qingluo really wanted to put some poison in the pill.

"Daoist Xuan Yuan, I don't know about this medicine."

When the emperor saw Xuan Yuan, the expression on his face was obviously a little more impatient.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, thanks to Miss Xu's help today, the old Taoist has broken through a knot that he hadn't figured out. Taking advantage of his understanding, he finally refined this dragon and tiger pill. According to Taoist legends, Developed by Zhang Tianshi, after taking it, the energy will be condensed and the spirit will be bright. If you take it for a long time, it is not impossible to live to be 80 years old like Zhang Tianshi."

Don't look at Xuan Yuan who looks serious and cold on weekdays, but when it is necessary, the flattering words will not be repeated.

While drawing big cakes for the emperor, he left room for himself, as long as a Taoist priest who can enter the palace and gain the emperor's trust is not stupid.

As for Xu Qingluo incidentally mentioned in the words, who made this so-called Dragon and Tiger Pill be a recipe prepared by Xu Qingluo, and personally handed the fire, Xu Qingluo told him that the current so-called Dragon and Tiger Pill is not complete and real at all. The Dragon Tiger Pill, she just refined a simplified version of the instant pill, to make the emperor happy first, at least be more patient with Shoukang Palace, isn't it good?
The real Dragon and Tiger Pill can still be used by Xu Qingluo.

The joy in the emperor's eyes was about to burst into light, and he laughed a few times: "Okay, okay, as expected of Daoist Xuanyuan, the dragon and tiger pill is a legendary medicine, and you can actually refine it, which is not easy. If I really live to be 80 years old and live forever, I will definitely make you a national teacher, my national teacher of Daqing!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand impatiently, wanting to accept the jade box in Xu Qingluo's hand without going through the servant at all.

Xu Qingluo offered it with both hands, without saying a word. She didn't need to speak at this time.

Taoist Xuanyuan watched the emperor open the jade box, took out the round fiery red pill that was about the size of an oriental pearl, held it in front of his eyes, looked carefully at the light, and smelled it, this pill was just for show And the smell was enough to reassure the emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. It's just this pill."

Daoist Xuan Yuan hesitated to speak.

The emperor frowned when he heard that it was just two words. He carefully put the round and fiery red pill into the jade box, and looked at Daoist Xuanyuan: "Just what? Could it be that this dragon and tiger pill is fake?"

There was evil spirit in the emperor's eyes.

When the emperor was angry, he buried his corpse thousands of miles away. Daoist Xuanyuan was shrouded in the emperor's evil spirit, and his heart trembled, but his face showed some aloofness and indifference, as if it was not him who was faintly happy in his eyes just now: "Your Majesty, If the elixir is really so easy to get, it doesn't deserve to be called an elixir!"

"Although the elixir in His Majesty's hand is not the elixir of Dragon and Tiger Pill, it is also Taoist Dragon and Tiger Pill. Taoist Dragon and Tiger Pill can reconcile the essence, and taking it for a long time can make people healthy and have a long life. These words, Pindao did not deceive His Majesty at all. ! But to achieve the effect of the legendary elixir, it will take a long time to develop."

Daoist Xuan Yuan waved his sleeves as he spoke, "If Your Majesty does not believe in the ability of the poor Taoist, then you can replace him with someone else, and find those who can quickly refine the real elixir for your majesty."

Taoist Priest Xuanyuan wore a fluttering Taoist robe, his three long beards swayed slightly, and his face was ancient and clumsy. It really looked like a fairy.

Obviously, the emperor liked this very much, and Daoist Xuanyuan was not polite at all, but after listening to it, the emperor turned his anger into joy, and apologized to the cold-faced Daoist Xuanyuan: "Daoist, just now I am so impatient, Daoist Priest is really a master of Taoism, how can he be the same as those ordinary people, I only believe that the Dragon and Tiger Pill refined by Daoist Priest is the real Dragon and Tiger Pill."

If Taoist Xuanyuan said that what he held in his hand was the elixir, he would not believe it. No matter how obsessed the emperor was with Taoism, no matter how much he wanted to obtain the elixir for longevity, he still had brains. The elixir, in the end, was severely entrapped.

He seems to respect and trust these Taoist priests in the Shoukang Palace, but he still has such a guard that has never been removed.

But at this moment, Daoist Xuanyuan's words dissipated the slightest bit of defense in the emperor's heart. He looked at Daoist Xuanyuan with extraordinarily sincere and sincere eyes: "I am waiting for Daoist Xuanyuan's elixir, dragon and tiger pill. gone."

The fact that Taoist Xuanyuan was able to tell him frankly showed that he was just the kind of master Taoist who did not covet wealth and honor but really cared about him.

"Your Majesty trusts Pindao. Naturally, Pindao will go all out, but if His Majesty really wants the elixir to come true, His Majesty still needs to give Pindao a person."

This is the condition that Xu Qingluo and Xuan Yuan negotiated. For a long time, not to mention the elixir, Dragon Tiger Pill, even the elixir that is more effective but has no side effects has not been refined. The backlog of erysipelas in the emperor's body is relatively deep. It has not been diagnosed by the few imperial doctors in the imperial hospital, and it is estimated that they will not say it rashly, but if this continues, it will not be long. The emperor's favor also needs to continue to give him elixirs. As long as the erysipelas deepens, once he is diagnosed or spoken out by the imperial physician, the emperor can at least kill all the people in Shoukang Palace before he dies.

The appearance of Xu Qingluo can almost be called a savior for the Taoist priests in Shoukang Palace who are already riding a tiger.

"Oh? Who is the Taoist priest looking for?"

The emperor had already guessed who the Taoist Xuanyuan was talking about. After all, it was so obvious. Xu Qingluo followed, and Xuanyuan just bluntly said that she would help.

"It's this Miss Xu. Pindao heard that her family is from a family of medicine, and he himself is proficient in pharmacology. Although Taoist alchemy is somewhat different from that of doctors, they also have something in common. Miss Xu has a wide range of knowledge and occasionally has witty words. With her help, the day of practicing Dragon Tiger Pill is just around the corner."

Xuan Yuan was not stingy in praising Xu Qingluo, anyway, he was the one who was the most important thing of the emperor.

"There is no problem with this. I originally sent her there because I saw that Mrs. Xu is proficient in medicine, and I thought it would be useful for you alchemy masters. Now it is really useful, and it is not a waste of my thoughts. Mrs. Xu, You are very good, if you can really help Taoist Xuan Yuan and the others to refine the elixir for me, I will definitely reward you very much."

The emperor looked at Xu Qingluo with better eyes.

"Thank you for your majesty's grace, my daughter. It is my honor to be appreciated by your majesty to enter the Shoukang Palace to assist in refining medicine. It's just that the daughter of the people has something to ask for."

Xu Qingluo bowed profusely.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, he didn't like people who pushed too hard.

"The little girl studied the Dragon and Tiger Pill in the Taoist priest's hands, and found that several herbs in it were mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. Therefore, the Taoist priests' pills have never been successful. The little girl is naturally not saying that the prescription of the Dragon and Tiger Pill is fake, but that there should be few in it. It was made of several medicines, and the little girl deduced that one medicine is probably a mirage flower, which is something that can only be found in the extreme northern desert of the border. The divine flower in the sky has the effect of bringing the dead back to life, and it has a neutralizing effect on all medicines. It is the best medicine in the world. It can be done as soon as possible.”

"This is what a mirage looks like. Your Majesty might as well call someone who is familiar with Mobei to see if they know about it. If you have an exact location, you can naturally find it faster."

Xu Qingluo took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to the servant beside him.

-

"Aunt Xu, where is General Lang?"

Seeing Xu Qingluo and Taoist Xuanyuan step out of the gate of the emperor's bedroom, the Ninth Prince who had been waiting for a long time rushed out, ignoring his own princely demeanor, looked around several times, but did not see Lang Sheng's shadow.

He couldn't help but feel more worried.

"Miss Xu, don't forget what you promised Pindao."

Xuan Yuan straightened his back, raised his chin, and lightly said these words to Xu Qingluo, and after Xu Qingluo nodded in agreement, he turned and left.

It seems that Xu Qingluo and the Ninth Prince are strangely familiar.

"Aunt Xu, why are you with that bull-nosed man? What did you promise him? Did he threaten you and I can help you? By the way, where did General Lang go?"

The Ninth Prince chirped like a little sparrow, first wrinkled his nose at Xuan Yuan's back, then remembered what he asked first, he was very busy.

Xu Qingluo felt that the child became cuter the more he looked, especially when he looked around but couldn't help but worry about his own appearance. The little face was wrinkled, and the girl couldn't help poking his cheek. Under the staring eyes of the prince who didn't know why, he calmly withdrew his hand, and said calmly: "Don't worry, he should be able to come out in half an hour at most."

Just begging the emperor to let Lang Sheng go, Xu Qingluo would not do such a thing, she never liked to leave her fate in other people's hands to decide.

If the emperor really wanted the elixir and the mirage grass, he would release Lang Sheng to study with her carefully. She had already given the emperor enough steps to go down.

The Ninth Prince looked at Xu Qingluo's unusually beautiful face and the smile on her lips, feeling a little cold for no reason, always thinking that someone was going to be unlucky.

-

Xu Qingluo waited outside the palace gate, and saw the man walking slowly towards here from a distance.

He walked very slowly and steadily, and the distance between each step was the same, as if measured by the most standard ruler. With that stern and serious face, he was very bluffing.

Xu Qingluo couldn't keep the smile on his face, and his eyes became colder and colder.

When Lang Sheng had four or five steps to walk up to her, the girl couldn't bear it any longer, and took a few steps closer to the man. Under the man's stunned eyes, she grabbed the other's hand, but the other hand held his. Shoulders, the petite girl is too thin compared to the tall man, it seems that just a little force can crush a person.

But that just seemed, the real situation was that the man was holding on to his body and was unwilling to press down, unwilling to press down on her.

Even though she wanted to support him, even though she knew that his current condition should be very bad, she just stood there with such stubborn strength, and when she stared at him, she gave her a somewhat embarrassing smile .

-

Lang Sheng sat on Xu Qingluo's carriage, while the horse he was riding followed the carriage, and from time to time he bowed his head towards the curtain of the carriage, humming from his nose, as if he was also worried about his master , The miraculous appearance made the groom who was driving couldn't help admiring.

"Even the horse knows that you are in a bad state. Do you think I am worse than the horse?"

Xu Qingluo poked Lang Sheng's shoulders when he was sitting upright with his fingertips, and when the man opened his mouth to explain, the sarcasm on his face dissipated: "Your condition is very bad now."

From hearing and asking, a successful healer does not need to feel the pulse, but only the changes in the man's breath while walking, changes in body shape, complexion, pupils and even the number of heartbeats can all be the basis for judging his current condition.

"Feel sorry."

Lang Sheng subconsciously opened his mouth to apologize.

"You don't need to apologize to me, the person you are sorry to is yourself!"

Xu Qingluo's voice was a little harsh, and under the man's astonished gaze, he lowered his eyes and put his finger on the man's wrist: "Tell me about your physical condition, has the poison on your body taken effect? ​​I want to be honest , if you don’t want to become lame or crippled by those people who have high hopes for you before returning to the battlefield to defend the border, then listen to me and tell me the truth.”

Xu Qingluo couldn't say that dead word, she couldn't imagine how that hateful and terrible word was associated with Lang Sheng.

At that moment, the man understood the fear in the girl's eyes, and she never changed color in the face of life and death, and she was able to straighten her back resolutely in the face of all kinds of slander and insult, but at this moment, for him, she learned to be afraid: " .I had an attack last night in the second watch, and I fell asleep afterwards."

It's just such a simple sentence, how much pain there is in it, Lang Sheng can imagine a little bit without mentioning it.

This man, who used to scrape his own bones and heal his wounds, was always awake. When she treated his leg injury, he was still unwilling to fall asleep. At that time, she used silver needles to make him fall asleep, but now , the man told her that he fell asleep because of the pain.

Her heart tightened one after another, and her five fingers unconsciously clenched the man's wrist.

The man's wrist was cold, and the blood flowed in the raised veins.

Xu Qingluo was taken aback for a moment, and in the next moment, he didn't care about the discomfort anymore. He took out the silver needle, grabbed the man's left index finger, and pierced it in at the fingertip. The silver needle went straight into the gap between the fingers.

Lang Sheng frowned because of this sudden brow, but he didn't move. He honestly handed over his hand to Xu Qingluo, and let her stick five silver needles into her fingertips one by one.

If someone who didn't understand saw it, he might think that Xu Qingluo was interrogating Langcheng.

Xu Qingluo was engrossed, and the fingers holding the silver needle kept twirling, while the other hand touched Lang Sheng's wrist veins, feeling any movement in the meridians.

Lang Sheng's left shoulder suddenly trembled violently, uncontrollable by himself, when the silver needle in the girl's hand pierced his left little finger again.

The cold air spread throughout the left hand, from the heart to the meridians of the left hand, the whole arm could not move, it was as stiff as if all the meridians were dead.

Lang Cheng pursed his lips, cold sweat kept dripping from his forehead, his pupils dilated and closed, and his breath became extremely heavy in an instant. Every temptation Xu Qingluo made seemed to be torture to him, the most painful punishment, but he would not doubt it. Xu Qingluo, he believed that whatever Xu Qingluo did was good for him.

The silver needle in Xu Qingluo's hand lingered on the man's middle finger for a long time, sighed, and put the silver needle away: "I found it."

Xu Qingluo discovered the worm, and not long after the man's voodoo attack, he endured the cold air in the palace. This human environment may be similar to the place where the worm used to live, and it was eager to move in the man's heart.

Xu Qingluo tried out the existence of the worm, and also the place where it usually lives. If the person in front of her was not Lang Sheng, she might give it a go and see if she could lure the worm out, but the person in front of her was Lang Sheng. Sheng, so Xu Qingluo couldn't be too careful no matter how careful he was.

She could no longer stimulate the gnat that had revealed its whereabouts.

"I found it, now I can't expel it from your body, but as long as I give me time, I will be able to expel it from here, you here, as long as I am alone is enough, damn bug or something , it should be eradicated completely.”

The girl's palm was pressed against the man's heart, and the palm felt the sound of the man's heartbeat. It was a voice that reassured her: "Your heart is mine!"

Lang Cheng looked at Xu Qingluo who had taken the oath of sovereignty, a little silly, as if he couldn't understand what she said.

Insects, let alone eradication, are difficult to find. For so many years, Lang Sheng has sought out miracle doctors, but those people have never used them. Their medical skills may be supernatural, but they can't even find insects. Existence, what's the use of high medical skills?

As the saying goes, prescribe the right medicine to the case, if you can't find the symptoms, even the most powerful genius doctor will be blinded.

And Xu Qingluo told him that she found the worm.

"Can't you believe it? Those doctors who can't be found are not skilled in medicine, but they are not familiar with you."

Xu Qingluo smiled: "Heartbeat, complexion, blood flow speed, and pulse rate, there is no one in the world who understands every condition of your body better than me. The insects came out once first, and there was a cold again. Traction will only appear, but each time it appears, it should be very short and secretive, and it is also because I am familiar with your body that I can accurately grasp this opportunity."

Xu Qingluo didn't realize that what he said was quite ambiguous.

Lang Sheng's face was a little hot, and he was a little happy in his heart, not because Xu Qingluo said he found the gnat, but because the other party knew him well in words.

If you don't care about a person, how can you keep his heartbeat, blood flow speed, facial expression changes, and pupil changes in mind?
