Chapter 43 Prelude
Chapter 40 Chapter 37 Prelude
Li Zihe stood outside the hall, intently trying to hear what was going on inside the hall, but there was only a murky cold wind in his ears. He raised his head and glanced at Yue'er who was opposite him. He stood quietly with lowered eyebrows, secretly thinking that the second concubine Yao had a very different personality. , and even the personalities of the court ladies around her are completely opposite. Concubine Yan is docile on the surface, while Xiaoju is very arrogant, Concubine Yao looks domineering, but Yue'er keeps her own place, rare calm and introverted.

While meditating, I heard a chaotic sound in the hall, as if a heavy object fell to the ground, and there was a ping-pong sound, followed by Gu Yanlin's heart-piercing roar: "Get out! Get out! Get out!"

Li Zihe glanced into the hall, and saw Concubine Yao's mouth raised, she was walking slowly and happily, the hatred that had not faded in her eyes was as sharp as a sword light, she walked past Li Zihe without squinting. After saying a word, he walked out of the palace.

Yue'er gave Li Zihe a follow-up look, and followed Concubine Yao.

Li Zihe also lowered his head to follow, and suddenly thought of Concubine Yao's illness, if it was deliberately pretended to deal with Gu Yanlin, now that Gu Yanlin has collapsed, will her illness also recover?
As for what Gu Yanlin once said, Concubine Yao used this to win Yun Jinyan's sympathy, Li Zi could not agree, if Yun Jinyan really loves Concubine Yao, she doesn't need these methods, if she doesn't love her, those symptoms of madness will only make her He hated her even more.If the disease is really feigned, the only thing it can achieve is to disturb the harem, making people think of Ji Li from time to time, and thinking of six years ago, the most obvious example is Xiaoju, who is a guilty conscience!

But Yao Fei can guess that this action will shake Xiaoju's mind, and help her get rid of Gu Yanlin?

It can be said that Gu Yanlin was thrown into the cold palace by chance. Concubine Yao may not be so smart to guess every step, right?If she can really predict everything, she can only say that back then, there was really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger around her.

If I want to know whether it is true or not, I will pay more attention to the Taoyao Temple during thunderstorms in the future, and I will know if the pulse is normal.

In the next few days, Li Zihe took Yun Jinyan's pulse every other day, and he always felt that the way he looked at him was different from the past, but after careful study of his words and demeanor, he didn't find anything wrong, and Shen Mo also responded to her request , prepared some medicines to make the voice more hoarse, but the effect of the medicine is relatively slow.

Since that day when Concubine Yao was drenched in water and knelt outside the hall for two hours, Imperial Physician Yin was ill and was lying at home recuperating. Li Zihe went to Taoyao Palace every day to ask for pulse, but Concubine Yao didn't add much To make things difficult is not like usual to hit and scold, even judging from the pulse condition, there is stagnation in the body, and the body is much weaker due to miscarriage.

Li Zihe would take a closer look at the Taoyao Palace when he had the opportunity. On the surface, it looked the same as the Hongluan Palace in the past, but after careful observation, he found that many places were indeed renovated and rebuilt, and occasionally he could find the remains of the fire. trace.

Li Zihe was very curious about the fire, but he couldn't find any traces. He once thought that when he first entered the imperial hospital, he was the son of the deputy chief of the Imperial Forest Army who made loud noises with Yin Ping. His name was Lin Huaixuan. People often take out the so-called "secret news" in the palace and publicize it among the medical children. Since Yin Ping left, he has become more honest, and he has avoided Li Zihe as much as he can. If he wants to use his mouth, he still needs to wait for the right time .

As for what he once said, the reason why Concubine Yao’s favor is not fading is that she made great contributions in collecting the evidence of treason in Jifu. At that time, Li Zi didn’t know what the so-called treason was referring to. Now it seems that it is nothing more than evidence of qu The elder brother assassinated King Pingxi.

Every time Li Zihe thinks of this, Li Zihe's heart shrinks for a while, and he can't help throbbing pain. Back then, Brother Qu and Yao Er "felt like each other", but because of her status, his father strongly opposed it. Brother Qu insisted on marrying a bright matchmaker. , the relationship between the two is extraordinary, it is not unreasonable to say that she knew about Brother Qu's assassination of King Pingxi, and even had evidence in her hand.

Even though I know that the rumors in the palace are full of mistakes, even if I love my sisters in the past, even if I beat her to death, she still doesn't want to believe that Yao Er will betray, but when all kinds of coincidences come together, they are so reasonable, how can she convince herself Do not doubt?
It's just that there have been too many accidents in the harem recently, Gu Yanlin has just been thrown into the cold palace, Yun Jinyan also has doubts about her, it is really unwise to provoke Concubine Yao at this time.

Li Zihe listened to Shen Mo's opinion and stood still, waiting for Zheng Xiang and Gu's family to bite each other. A few days later, someone from the court read Zheng Ying's book, and the content turned out to be that Zheng Ying used his power to rob and abuse children. .

This well-known secret was suddenly exposed, brought to the emperor, and the dirty things in the private house were suddenly regarded as "national affairs", and it was said that as the prime minister, he insulted the state and secretly ridiculed Zheng Ying. With support, the officials seized the opportunity to strike hard, and collected how many male pets Zheng Ying had snatched from where and on what year, month, and day. Handed in neatly.

There was an uproar in the court for a while, some people kept silent to protect themselves, some people gloated and exaggerated, no matter how thick-skinned Zheng Yingrao was, such scandals were handed over to discuss as important matters of the court, and they felt shameless. Sued for sick leave and stayed behind closed doors.

It happened to be the fifteenth day, when Li Zihe came back from Taoyao Hall, he packed his medicine box and planned to go to the prime minister's mansion to see Mu Pianwu.

"Wait! Don't go!"

Before the person moved, Feng Zongying yelled to stop him, shouting: "Don't go! Honestly, I'm staying in the hospital!"

Li Zihe smiled in his heart, without changing his face, he said: "What's the matter, my lord?"

"Why did you go to the prime minister's mansion so well? When did the imperial doctor in the palace become so reduced to treating people in the prime minister's mansion?" Feng Zongying's white beard trembled, and he held back when he wanted to say something. Finally, he stared and said, "You Wait, I'll go to the emperor right now and ask him to find another person to treat Zheng Ying's adoptive son."

Speaking of Feng Zongying turned around to go out, but was caught by Li Zihe: "My lord, since the emperor has given the order, Zihe will obey it, not to mention that Zihe is very interested in that young master's illness, if I cure it myself ..."

"Doctor, doctor! When the time comes, I will lose all my hair, what kind of doctor do I need?" Feng Zongying became anxious when he heard what he said. Recently, there have been rumors in the palace that Zheng Ying abused children. Creepy, looking at Li Zihe's white appearance, what if... what if...

Feng Zongying pulled Li Zihe's hand away, and said impatiently: "Do you think I'm meddling?"

"Why don't you dare." Li Zihe's face was respectful, and his heart was already full of warmth, but Mu Pianwu, she must not give up the opportunity to meet him, so she could only politely say: "My lord's heart, what is your heart, in the future The prime minister's mansion, son He Ding will be careful."

"You!" Feng Zongying was furious, she didn't even care about him being Shen Mo's apprentice, and worried about him, but he didn't appreciate it, what's more, he is also a dignified imperial hospital history, really embarrassing!

Feng Zongying snorted, and gave Li Zihe a hard look, not knowing what to do!Kindly be the liver and lungs of a donkey!Even if Zheng Ying eats it, he doesn't do his business!He flicked his sleeves and walked away angrily.

Li Zihe shook his head with a helpless smile, and went out with the medicine box on his back.

Unexpectedly, the prime minister's mansion was clouded with gloom, the courtyard was deserted, and the servants walked back and forth in a hurry, with gloomy expressions. When they saw Li Zihe, they looked up and down suspiciously. Seeing that he was dressed as an imperial doctor, they led him to the backyard without asking any further questions.

It’s almost winter, and the back garden full of green grass and flowers looks a little bleak. The dead leaves falling with the wind are floating on the lake in the center, sparkling, slowly circling and cruising in the water. The bright white was half covered by the wooden wheelchair, the man, who was clearly sitting still, seemed to be gone with the wind.

When Xu Shi heard the movement behind him, Mu Pianwu turned his head, the corners of his eyes slightly bent, the eyes that had just been filled with fog became clear, and he smiled at Li Zihe.

Li Zihe stepped forward quickly, knelt down and held his hand, which was actually colder than his own, frowned and said, "How about entering the house?"

Mu Pianwu nodded, her smile deepened, and she pulled out her hand to push the wheelchair, but Li Zihe grabbed his hands and put them together, stuffed them into his sleeves, and said: "It's very cold and humid by the lake. , if nothing happens, it’s better not to come here.”

As he spoke, he got up, pushed the wheelchair forward, and looked up and down the backyard. It seemed that there was no one else except the two of them. Nuo Da’s garden seemed a bit empty, but there were quite a few rooms built around the garden, but the doors of each room were tightly closed. Closed, it does not seem to be inhabited.

Mu Pianwu's room is on the right, spacious and bright, clean and comfortable, Li Zihe just glanced at it and knew that the room looked ordinary, but in fact everything was valuable. Zheng Ying's love for Mu Pianwu?Ah……

Li Zihe sat down and wanted to get Mu Pianwu's pulse, Mu Pianwu pulled away his hand, sighed and said, "Li'er, no need."

Regardless of his objection, Li Zihe took his hand and said seriously: "Even if the legs can't be cured, it is necessary to recuperate the body."

Mu Pianwu chuckled, and honestly stretched out her left hand.

In fact, Li Zihe can guess what his problem is without taking his pulse. The cold energy in his body gathers and does not disperse, resulting in weakness and qi deficiency, especially chills. After being unconscious for several hours in the snow, what about him?When was it picked up by Zheng Ying?

Li Zihe wrote the pen, according to the prescription Shen Mo had given her, with only a few changes, it could be used on Mu Pianwu.

"Did Zheng Ying go out today?" Li Zihe asked while writing.Ever since someone read a book, I have heard that he stays behind closed doors, but today, he doesn't look like he is in the prime minister's mansion.

Mu Pianwu nodded and said, "I will definitely go out on the first and fifteenth day of every month. What's more, there have been such a big situation in recent days."

Li Zihe sneered, if gods and Buddhas really have eyes, Zheng Ying would be No.1 in hell!
"In the past few days, the male pets in the mansion have been smuggled out of the mansion one after another." Mu Pianwu pushed the wheelchair, walked to the window, gently pushed it open, looked at a row of closed doors outside the window, his eyes were tranced, and said lightly: " In the past, it was a place where male pets lived."

Li Zihe paused in his heart, as if he had been hit hard by a heavy object, and the faint pain flooded slowly, and suddenly he didn't know how to answer, the other male pets were sent away, but he was just adopted by Zheng Ying as a foster son In any case, it is impossible to be sent out of the mansion because of this turmoil.

"Li'er, Zheng Ying feels that General Gu is taking advantage of the situation to make trouble this time, and wants to use this incident to insult his reputation and damage his status in the court." Mu Pianwu seemed unaware of Li Zihe's abnormality, and spoke again, changing the topic Transferred to the court situation.

Li Zihe Yin lost his emotions, who made the pass, I am afraid that only the person who submitted the pass and Yun Jinyan knew, it was nothing more than trying to stir up a dispute between Zheng Ying and Gu Weiquan, but this matter is not small or big Big, may not be able to achieve the desired purpose...

Why didn't Li Zi say anything, he glanced out of the window worriedly, Mu Pianwu smiled and said: "There is no one in the backyard, so don't worry."

Li Zihe nodded and asked, "What is Zheng Ying's plan?"

"Forbearance." Mu Pianwu's eyes seemed to be covered with another layer of mist, she only looked out of the window, and said softly: "This matter is his fault, and letting things go is the best choice.

"You taught him?" Li Zi was puzzled.

Mu Pianwu chuckled and nodded.

"You don't want him to quarrel with Gu Weiquan?" If Zheng Ying calmed down and took care of Weiquan's temperament, he might not pursue it to the end.

"No." Mu Pianwu replied affirmatively, "I can only persuade him to make peace in this matter. Zheng Ying's disadvantage is too obvious. Persuading him to fight will only make him doubt my intentions. To intensify the conflict between him and Gu Weiquan, this This matter can only be a trigger, the more he backs down now, the more sullen he feels in his heart, if Gu Weiquan bullies him one more step, Zheng Ying will no longer be stable and wants to fight back."

Facing the almost transparent winter sun, Mu Pianwu smiled slightly: "Bite back in anger, that bite is hard enough and hard enough."

Li Zihe only felt stabbed by his smile, and his heart sank suddenly.Mu Pianwu is right, people are always going to change, he is no longer the simple-minded Xiaowu of the past, she should know better than anyone else the transformation he suffered through all kinds of hardships, but looking at the once clean eyes Gradually becoming chaotic, it seems to see a beautiful flower being destroyed by someone, the helplessness of wanting to protect it but being helpless, and the indelible guilt.

"Li'er, how about we find an opportunity to get rid of the Gu family first?" After a long silence, Mu Pianwu suddenly spoke.

Li Zihe raised his head and met his eyes, but before he could react, he had already asked: "Why?" Although this idea coincided with hers, isn't Zheng Ying the one he wants to deal with?The flickering in his eyes is the excitement that he has never seen before, even mixed with a trace of blood, it is shocking...

"It makes people fall from the peak, so the fall is worse and more painful." Mu Pianwu seemed to be saying a very ordinary sentence, and replied casually with a smile.

Li Zihe knelt down, held his hands, looked up into his eyes seriously, and said, "Mu Pianwu, don't you care about this matter? Whether Gu Weiquan falls first or Zheng Ying is eliminated first, you are in the prime minister's mansion Just protect yourself well, don't worry about anything else, trust me, no matter what, Zheng Ying will definitely get what she deserves!"

Mu Pianwu raised her hand to gently caress Li Zihe's face, the mist in her eyes gradually dissipated, but her eyes dimmed suddenly, the movement of her hand stopped abruptly, the fingers that stopped in mid-air moved, and finally retracted , took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped Li Zihe's face gently, and said with a smile, "Why is there so much dust on my face..."

"Mu Pianwu, promise me?" Li Zihe took the handkerchief from Mu Pianwu's hand, and refused to let go.

Mu Pianwu put down her raised arm a little stiffly, lowered her eyelids, a dark glow slipped through her eyes, and raised her eyes again, it was already clear, she said stubbornly: "Some enmity, you have to avenge it with your own hands, and only then will the grudge be resolved."

Li Zihe was speechless, unable to convince herself, she had no position to persuade others.Quietly packed her things, opened the door and went out, what Mu Pianwu said behind her made her stop suddenly.

"Then Shen Mo...you'd better be careful..."

Li Zihe turned his head and said nothing, looking at Mu Pianwu wanting an explanation.

Mu Pianwu sighed lightly and said: "Every time this person is mentioned, Zheng Ying hesitates. I just remind you that you must be on guard against others."

Li Zihe remained silent, turned around and left quickly.

The matter of Zheng Ying's child molestation, the emperor sent people to the prime minister's mansion to investigate, but nothing was found. Moreover, it is normal for there to be several child molestes in the rich and powerful family, so this matter will be settled with the winter solstice .

During the winter solstice festival, a banquet is held in the palace to celebrate. Officials of the court and the central government have a day off and enter the palace to have a banquet at night to enjoy themselves with the king.

Shen Mo didn't want to participate, and Li Zihe also planned to use the excuse of being unwell to rest in a hut for a day, but Yun Jinyan specially ordered her to attend when he had a pulse diagnosis early this morning, and there was no way to avoid it, so he had to face it .

The sunset glow in winter is extraordinarily warming, burning red in the west, and the flowing clouds seem to be inlaid with a layer of gold, making people feel that it is summer. Li Zihe glanced at the slowly setting sun, and there was a trace of warmth in his eyes , the red sun rises and sets, and so should her life, when it sets, it rises.

Going back to the hut, I looked at my whole body carefully, re-fixed my Adam's apple, and decided to go out after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it. As soon as I opened the door, a figure blocked the setting sun just now, with his back to the sun, the sun on his face was more distinct, with a bit of soft color , a faint smile, looking at his eyes, shining as always.

Shen Mo stood quietly in the courtyard, smiling lightly at Li Zihe: "I'll go with you."
