Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

After Meng Jue left the palace, he immediately went to find Liu He. Liu He was enjoying the singing and dancing in Luoyufang. As soon as Meng Jue entered, Liu He took a look at his expression and immediately ordered all the kabuki to quit. Meng Jue sneered: "Young Master Liu, is there still time for singing and dancing? Have you heard about Tian Qianqiu?" Liu He said: "I just found out." "You did this?" Liu He shook his head in denial. Meng Jue frowned: "Didn't you receive the message I asked January to send to you?" Liu He said: "Received. I have already arranged everything and waited for the game to end. Unexpectedly, this old man had a stroke suddenly, which wasted a lot of my hard work."

Meng Jue supported her head, eyes slightly closed: "What were you planning?" Liu He smiled: "Borrowing from the case of Prime Minister Li Cai more than 30 years ago, Old Man Tian's son secretly occupied a royal cemetery with excellent geomantic omen for a few words from Si Tianjian." Meng Jue said while recalling: "Although the Li family back then was not comparable to the Wei family, they were also powerful and powerful. Prime Minister Li Cai committed suicide in prison because of a few pieces of land. Hmm... this is indeed a good thing that the gods and ghosts don't know about." The idea is just too slow. The emperor wants you to be as fast as possible, but you use such a exhausting method. What's more, Tian Qianqiu is different from Li Cai, so what if Tian Qianqiu is thrown into prison? If Huo Guang wants to protect him, he Definitely not dead."

"Little Jue, Xiao Jue!" Liu He smiled and shook his head, "Who said I planned to kill Tian Qianqiu? The emperor just said that he didn't want him to be the prime minister, so I gave the emperor a strong reason not to let him be the prime minister. Now that the goal has been achieved, why not leave a little room? Although Tian Qianqiu is mediocre, he is definitely not a courtier, even if he is guilty, the crime is not as good as death." Meng Jue looked at Liu He and said nothing. Liu He said: "You look tired, lie down for a while!" Meng Jue fell asleep on the couch, and suddenly asked: "Do you think Tian Qianqiu really had a stroke? It's just a coincidence."

Liu He thought for a moment: "Tian Qianqiu obeyed Huo Guangyan, it is impossible for Huo Guang's people to harm him. Even if the other ministers have thoughts in their hearts, they don't have the guts to move him now. The only person who wants to move Tian Qianqiu and dares to move Tian Qianqiu is the emperor. It is true that there are a few courtiers around the emperor who are not afraid of Huo Guang's despotic power, but the emperor will not order these people to do such things that disrupt the law, but will only order..." "If I'm not wrong, it should be you and Liu Xun."

Liu Hefa was stunned for a while, and said: "After Prince Wei failed to commit suicide, the late emperor was still angry, and ordered to kill all the relatives of Prince Wei, as well as officials who had been in contact with Prince Wei. The three elders of Huguan went to the late emperor, It is said that the prince was "trapped by the treacherous minister Jiang Chong, unable to explain himself, with grievances in his heart, and nowhere to tell, so he sent troops to kill Jiang Chong in anger; the son stole his father's soldiers, and had no other intention." Tian Qianqiu, the Gaomiao order at that time, also Shangshu, suing the prince was wronged. It happened that after the first emperor calmed down, he understood that the prince was framed and persecuted, so he accepted Tian Qianqiu's Shangshu, pardoned the prince's treasonous crime, and promoted Tian Qianqiu to be a big Honglu. However, Tian What Qianqiu is best at is to follow the wind and steer the rudder. Maybe he sees that the three elders of Huguan have not been convicted, so he tries to figure out the holy will, plays by ear, and wins a bright future for himself, but if there is no three elders of Huguan and Tian Qianqiu, Liu Xun I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to enter the Heavenly Prison. Could Liu Xun be someone who doesn't miss old favors?"

Yu Jue said indifferently: "As you said, the three elders of Huguan are the ones who risked their lives to speak out, and Tian Qianqiu is just following the wind. Whether Liu Xun needs to recite this 'old favor' depends on what kind of person he is. People. Then again, what about the three elders in Huguan? There are many people in the world who will avenge their kindness. Half of your Liu family was conquered by the "Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty". Zhang Liang is gone, and Han Xin is planned to be killed? In the end, only Xiao He is left in the 'Three Heroes'."

Liu He smiled wryly and waved his hands: "We only talk about Liu Xun and nothing else. Do you think Liu Xun is such a person?" Meng Jue said: "Regardless of whether Tian Qianqiu is kind to him or not, if he did this, then his decisiveness and ruthlessness are far beyond your reach, but you are far better than you if you are well-planned and benevolent." Let’s see what the emperor thinks now.” Liu He pondered silently, and after a long time, asked, "Why did you suddenly ask January to send a message to me?" Meng Jue closed her eyes and did not answer. Liu He thought he had fallen asleep, but suddenly heard him say: "If you don't want to be just an ordinary prince, then prepare to fight with all your strength. If you have time, you might as well think about why the emperor has reused it since the beginning of the year. On the surface, you and Liu Xun seem to let you share his worries, but in fact it is more like training and teaching you, and then think about why the emperor entrusted you and Liu Xun to handle Tian Qianqiu's affairs."

Liu He frowned and remained silent.Meng Jue turned over and fell asleep facing the wall. Liu He's attendant reported outside the house: "My lord, there is a message from the palace. The emperor wants to see the lord." Liu He said: "Understood, wait outside." "yes." Liu He called: "Xiao Jue?" Yu Jue fell into a deep sleep and didn't respond. Liu He left the house. Hearing the sound of closing the door, Meng Jue sat up, thought for a while, and called out, "Come here." The person who came in was not an ordinary kabuki, but the owner of Luoyufang, who saluted Meng Jue respectfully: " What are your orders, sir?"

Meng Jue said, "Help me pay attention to Liu Xun's movements." "yes." "Help me find out what's unusual in Tian Qianqiu's mansion recently, especially the servants and maidservants in the mansion. The more poor and humble they are, the more likely they have something to do with people from the Jianghu, the more carefully they should be investigated." "yes." Meng Jue walked out of Luoyufang slowly.The servant waiting outside immediately came up to meet him, Meng Jue said, "I will walk alone, without a carriage." Meng Jue walked slowly while taking the carriage.

The long street is quiet, only the sound of my own footsteps can be heard. At a fork in the road, he stopped. turn left?go right?Or move forward? When Liu He rushed into the palace, Liu Xun was already there. Liu Fuling said to Liu He: "I'm waiting for you. Who do you think is more suitable to take over the position of Prime Minister?" Liu He pondered in his mind, wondering if the emperor had asked Liu Xun this question, and what was Liu Xun's answer.Liu He pondered and didn't answer immediately, but he saw a smile flashing in Liu Fuling's eyes, and heard him say to Liu Xun, "Think about it too."

Liu He laughed at himself inwardly, and quickly concentrated on thinking. After a while, he said: "This position is not about whoever is suitable for it, and whoever can do it, but where the bottom line of Huo Guang's acceptance is." Liu Xun said: "Uncle Wang is very reasonable. Huo Guang will never allow such an important position to fall into the hands of someone trusted by the emperor, but today is not what it used to be. The position fell into the hands of someone like Tian Qianqiu, so I can only choose a middle-of-the-road person." Liu Fuling nodded: "This is the candidate submitted by Huo Guang." Qixi passed the memorial to Liu He and Liu Xun for circulation. After the two finished reading, they both smiled and shook their heads: "This old man Huo Guang is knowledgeable and interesting." The five people listed in the memorial are all red-gold-level fools. Liu Fuling sighed: "Huo Guang has both resourcefulness, ability, and courage. The most rare thing is that he is in a high position, but he has never forgotten to care about people's livelihood and understand the suffering of the people. Those who benefited were ordinary people, but those who suffered were many officials in the court, so they encountered fierce opposition, but they received Huo Guang's full support. Without his support, I would not be able to succeed. If there is a sage to control , He must be a pillar of governance and a treasure of the country, but it is a pity that I was too young when I ascended the throne, and I was unable to control and balance him, allowing him to come to today step by step." Liu Fuling said to Liu Xun and Liu He earnestly: "Too much trust in a good minister, allowing him to dominate his power, expand his ambition, and overweight his suspicions, chilling a good minister, or even forcing him to rebel, is the same crime, and it is not a wise king. No matter how handsome and loyal a horse is, remember to use the rein to make him obedient, and use the saddle to make yourself comfortable, so that you can travel long distances and gallop thousands of miles.” Liu He and Liu Xun pondered silently. Liu Fuling ordered: "You write the person you like to me." Liu He and Liu Xun hurriedly took up their pens and finished writing, and handed it over to Qixi, who then presented it to the emperor. Liu Fuling glanced at them, they were both "Yang Chang", he handed the bamboo piece to Yu An, Yu An used force in his palm, the bamboo piece fell into pieces. Liu Fuling said: "It's already late at night, you all go back! I also want to hurry to worship my five viscera temple." Liu He and Liu Xun kowtowed to leave. Liu Xun's mansion is outside the palace, and he returned home after leaving the palace.But because Liu Fuling made an exception and allowed him to live in Zhaoyang Palace, which is a short distance from Xuanshi Palace, the two of them did not go together.After Liu Xun walked for a while, he suddenly remembered something, and hurried back to chase Liu Fuling.But they saw Liu Fuling and Liu He sitting in the imperial garden talking, and there were several dishes of seasonal fruits on the white jade table.Liu Fuling's demeanor was different from the calm and indifferent one when he was with him. At this moment, Liu Fuling, who was sitting opposite Liu He, was smiling and extremely gentle. Liu He was eating an apricot, and mumbling something, Liu Fuling actually took an apricot from the table and threw it at Liu He, Liu He reached out to catch it, took a big bite, and laughed.Liu Fuling was also full of smiles.The two looked close as brothers and friends.Thinking of Liu He's conversation with Liu Fuling about Tian Qianqiu before Liu He's future.At that time, he was uneasy and cautious, while Liu Fuling was expressionless from beginning to end, almost indifferent. Liu Xun stood quietly for a while, but turned around and left the palace instead of stepping forward. Liu He asked: "Didn't the emperor say you were hungry? Why don't you eat something?" Liu Fuling smiled deeply: "Yun Ge made dinner." "Oh—" Liu He said with a long voice, smiling, "So I was afraid that the beauty would be unhappy, so I wanted to save my appetite and go back to coax the beauty." "It's good to know. So tell me concisely and honestly. What did you do for the things I entrusted to you?" "I obey the order." Liu He sang, explaining the matter one by one. Liu Fuling nodded while listening, and finally said with a smile: "After all, you are not in vain, and Si Tianjian is willing to speak for you." Liu He said with a smile: "What he said is the truth. That cemetery is indeed a rare treasure of geomantic omen. Old man Tian's son invited him to see geomantic omen. I just asked him to talk about what he had seen when he was doing geomantic occupancy. Fengshui treasure." Liu Fuling said: "If a person has no desires, he will be strong, and if he has desires, he will have weaknesses. However, unless he is too high, no one will be without desires." Liu He asked with a smile: "What is the emperor's 'desire'?" Liu Fuling smiled lightly: "What's yours?" After Liu Fuling and Liu He finished talking, it was already past the second watch, and the first thing they said when they entered the Xuanshi Hall was: "I'm very hungry, hurry up and get all the food that Yun Ge cooked." Upon hearing this, Yun Ge smiled and said, "Let the imperial chef make new ones! The time will not be much different." Liu Fuling sat beside Yunge, smiled without saying a word. Yun Ge asked: "Do you feel better?" "Meng Jue's medical skills are extraordinary, and the annoyance accumulated in his chest has been swept away. If the disease can be cured, we will still follow the original plan, but now I have a better idea." Liu Fuling frowned. The gloom dissipated a lot, and there was joy secretly. Yun Ge smiled and nodded, buried her face in Liu Fuling's arms, not letting him see her expression: "What a good idea?" "There are 'recluse' and 'death escape'. I always thought about 'recluse' before, but after all, it was muddled, and I never thought about how to arrange my little sister. This illness is an excellent opportunity, so why not The younger sister will have a place to go if she 'flees to death' due to illness. If she wants to be free, I will issue an imperial decree to ask her to be 'buried with her'. If she wants to be honored, then she will become the empress dowager or empress dowager. " Yun Ge only gave a soft "um" and didn't dare to say more. Liu Fuling said with a smile: "In two days, all the imperial physicians from the imperial hospital will be ordered to come to the imperial hospital for consultation, so that they can have a good time, and also make their respective masters completely believe, and let the whole world have no doubts." The food was delivered, Yu An and Matcha served Liu Fuling and Yun Ge to eat. Knowing that Liu Fuling likes to eat fish, Yun Ge first gave him fish with chopsticks.Liu Fuling took a bite and praised, "It's really delicious." Yun Ge also took a piece of fish: "What's so delicious? Fish can't stand cold and hot again, the meat is as good as wood." Matcha laughed and said: "As long as the girl makes it, even if it is a piece of real wood, if you boil it in water, the emperor will think it is delicious." Yun Ge pointed at the matcha tea, and said to An: "Yu An, is this the girl you trained? Don't you care?" Because of the emperor's illness, Yu An's heart has always been very heavy. Today, he finally saw a ray of light in the darkness. He was in a rare relaxed mood, and said with a smile: "The slave is very well trained. It's because the girl has become accustomed to the virtues of today, girl. With the support of the emperor, how can the servant dare to teach Matcha a lesson?" "Brother Ling?" Liu Fuling asked solemnly: "What's wrong with what Yu An said? If I want to punish him, there must be a mistake." "Hmph! You're all in the same group, it's a foreigner who bullies me!" Yun Ge ignored them and concentrated on eating.Both Yu An and Matcha secretly laughed. Liu Fuling stared at the slightly shy Yun Ge and thought, to be able to eat Yun Ge's cooking every day in this life until he turns gray is his greatest "desire". In the past few days, almost all the officials have not slept soundly. Firstly, Prime Minister Tian Qianqiu died of illness, and everyone was busy trying to find a way to pay their respects.Immediately afterwards, Yang Chang, the official censor, was promoted to prime minister, and all the officials were busy congratulating and fawning.Before he could catch his breath, he heard that the emperor was ill, and the imperial physician Zhang was at a loss what to do. In desperation, he had to call all the imperial physicians for a consultation. Everyone knows how Dr. Zhang's medical skills are, and what diseases make him helpless?Everyone felt a "thud" in their hearts, waiting for the results of the consultation with trepidation. Da Sima Mansion, study room. The two imperial physicians who participated in the consultation came as scheduled.Seeing that Huo Chengjun was also present, he was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly greeted Huo Guang. No matter how old the officials are, they all have a little respect for the doctors in Taiyuan Hospital, because no one can escape life, old age, sickness and death.Huo Guang was always kind to others, but he was even more polite at this time, and immediately asked the two imperial physicians to sit down. The two imperial physicians explained the process of the consultation to Huo Guang without saying a word. Huo Guang just listened quietly, without any reaction on his face. Seeing that Huo Guang had nothing to ask, the two imperial physicians stood up and said goodbye: "I have to go back and look through the classics to find medical prescriptions. I don't dare to stay for a long time, so I will leave first." After the imperial doctor left, Huo Guang stared out of the window without speaking, and Huo Yu, Huo Shan, and Huo Yun didn't dare to say anything either.Not far from the window is a small lake.A few egrets on the lake fly and fall from time to time, and a few willow trees on the shore sway with the wind.The yellow warbler sang melodiously, because of the dense shade of the trees, only the sound was heard, but no shadow was seen.Huo Guang seemed to be fascinated by the scenery, and he didn't say a word or move for nearly half an hour.Huo Yu and Huo Shan frequently gave Huo Chengjun winks, but Huo Chengjun turned a blind eye and stared out the window in a daze.Huo Guang finally withdrew his gaze, and glanced lightly over the faces of several people in the room: "Cheng Jun, accompany father to go outside for a walk, the three of you, you can do whatever you usually do. If you dare to do anything without my permission , I will never tolerate it." Huo Yu was stunned, and called anxiously: "Father..." Huo Guang stared at him, he immediately shut up, and followed his two younger brothers out of the room. Huo Chengjun held Huo Guang's arm and walked slowly towards the lake.The cool breeze from the lake blows away the heat of midsummer a lot. Huo Guang said with a smile: "This lake is the first lake that was dug in this house." Cheng Jun smiled: "Daughter knows, uncle used to live in this house, and the area around the study room is uncle's old house, and the rest of the house was slowly added by father later." Huo Chengjun looked around, "Uncle eighteen He was granted the title of Marquis at the age of 18, and later became the Grand Sima, this house is really not worthy of the uncle's status." Huo Guang laughed and said, "Does the sun still need to rely on the brilliance of other things? If you have met your uncle, you will understand that all he wants is a 'home'." Although Huo Guang was smiling, there was no emotion in his eyes.Whether Uncle's death was recorded in the historical records or in the rumors of Chang'an City, there were many doubts. Topics related to Uncle had always been a taboo in the family, and Huo Chengjun dared not bring it up again.The father and daughter walked around the lake, found a flat stone at random, and sat down to rest. A pair of wild ducks hid in the corner of the rock and dozed off. They were not afraid to see them, but thought they had something to eat. They circled around Huo Chengjun, and Huo Chengjun played with his palms.Huo Guang looked at Huo Chengjun: "Chengjun, is there anyone you want to marry?" Huo Chengjun's hand froze, and the wild duck swam close to grab her hand. Huo Chengjun felt pain in his hand, suddenly waved his hand, and hit the wild duck hard. The two wild ducks screamed a few times and fled quickly. "My daughter said she was willing to enter the palace." Huo Guang sighed: "This road, you can't turn back, you really think about it? If you want to marry someone else, father will prepare a dowry for you, so that you can get married in a grand way." Huo Chengjun said lightly: "Daughter think about it, instead of marrying an ordinary person, it's better to marry the number one person in the world." Huo Guang said: "This matter has been delayed again and again, and it was first delayed by my younger sister's illness. I didn't expect this girl to be blessed by illness, and the emperor was moved by this illness. The emperor and the empress have not consummated their marriage for a long time, so I can't send it off immediately. When you enter the palace, you can only wait. Thinking about it now, it's a good thing." "Father, the emperor's illness..." "I don't know, this is the power of God. If the emperor recovers from his illness, the plan will remain as before; if not... now we can only be cautious." Huo Chengjun nodded. Huo Guang suddenly asked: "Liu He or Liu Xun, which one do you think is better?" Huo Chengjun was startled before he understood what his father meant.After all, she is a girl who has not left the pavilion. Although she is not an ordinary girl, she still feels ashamed, turns her body around, and looks down at the water. Huo Guang said: "Liu He looks absurd, and Liu Xun looks bold. I can't see through both of them. No matter who you choose, each has its own advantages and disadvantages." Huo Chengjun's mind flashed Liu He's anxious and rude look, he was bored for a while, and recalled the scene during the Lantern Festival. Liu Xun guessed riddles for her and gave her a lantern. The "Chang'e Flying to the Moon" lantern was still hanging in his boudoir.He took her to eat small wontons and leek pancakes.The streets and alleys of Chang'an City are like his home. He took her to turn left and right in the alleys, and the owners of many shops would greet him with a smile. In the inconspicuous shops, there are hidden delicacies that she has never tasted before. For the first time, she realized that she had never really lived in Chang'an City.When jugglers saw him, they would stop them specially and perform a show just for her, without charging a cent.The street fighters and hooligans who were walking sideways, but when they saw him, they ran away without a trace.When he sent her back home, she was holding a lantern in her left hand and a large bag of snacks and gadgets with unknown names in her right. Only then did she realize that she had grown up so much that she had never really lived. Shangyuan Festival. ... Huo Chengjun was in a daze. Huo Guang looked at the lake, thinking silently, as if he said to himself: "If you look at people from experience, Liu Xun is probably a man of perseverance and is not easy to control, but Liu He is a wealthy prince who has never experienced any hardships. The name is well known throughout the country... However, Liu He's wife is the daughter of the former Da Honglu, and Liu Xun's wife is the daughter of a convict." Dahonglu is the first grade, one of the nine ministers, and Liu He's marriage was personally ordered by the late emperor. The concubine has already given birth to a son, and there are still many members of the Wang family who are officials in the court.It would be very difficult to circumvent Liu He's royal family and make his daughter the queen.Liu Xun is different, he has no relatives in court, even if he has some ability, he can't do it alone. Huo Guang said with a smile: "For me, these two people have their own advantages and disadvantages. Liu He and Liu Xun, you choose one, after all, it is your whole life, and you are the child that Dad loves the most." Although Huo Guang said so in his mouth, he made a completely different decision in his heart.The answer he most expects to hear is that Huo Chengjun has no bias towards the two, otherwise no matter who she chooses, he will choose the other.Huo Chengjun was like waking up from a dream. After being stunned for a while, he replied carefully and carefully: "My surname is 'Huo'. I never want to kneel down to other women. Since I have decided to enter the palace, I will be the queen. Who can tell me?" Let me be the queen, who shall I choose." Huo Guang smiled and nodded, but his heart was not without disappointment. Cheng Jun's words had already revealed her likes and dislikes.He looked at the lake and said slowly: "You have to remember, from the moment you enter the palace, it doesn't matter what kind of person he looks like. His name only has two words: Emperor. He is not your husband, let alone the emperor. It will be your reliance, and even your enemy, your only reliance is Huo Shi and your future children." Huo Chengjun nodded silently. Huo Guangchang hissed: "Don't tell your brothers these words." "My daughter understands." Huo Chengjun looked across the lake.The willows on the shore are graceful, and the reflections in the water are swaying. Is it the wind that moves and the trees move, and the shadows move, or the wind and water move, and the shadows move?There was sadness, hatred, and confusion in her eyes.After the father and daughter sat for a meeting by the lake, Huo Guang said that there was still work to be done, and ordered his servants to prepare a carriage and leave the house. Huo Chengjun went back to his residence.As soon as he entered the door, Xiaoqing approached her mysteriously and handed her a piece of silk: "Miss, the servant did not dare to accept it, but he said that the young lady will definitely read it. The servant is afraid that it will delay the young lady's business, so I’ll take it anyway. If the maidservant makes a mistake, please punish me, and I will never do it again next time.” Huo Chengjun opened the silk handkerchief, read it silently, held the handkerchief, and stared at an octagonal palace lantern hanging on the window lattice in a daze. After staying in a daze for half a day, Fang said, "Light up a lamp." Xiaoqing wondered, lighting up the lamp in broad daylight?But knowing that this young lady of her own family is very pleasing to the master in her actions and words, now even the young master is polite when she sees her, she dare not ask any more questions, so she hastily went to light the lamp.Huo Chengjun put the silk handkerchief on the lamp and burned it, and ordered quietly: "Order someone to prepare the carriage, I will go out at night." Xiaoqing hurriedly replied: "Yes." In the open, many imperial physicians were busy burying their heads in the classics, consulting the records of various chest problems, and thinking hard about the cure. Secretly, Meng Jue came to give Liu Fuling an injection every five days, and prepared a decoction for treatment.Yun Ge asked Meng Jue what kind of illness Liu Fuling had.Meng Jue's answer was extremely straightforward: "I don't know." Yun Ge was dissatisfied, and Imperial Physician Zhang at the side explained: "Only diseases that are recorded in the ancient books have names, and there are many diseases that are not recorded in the ancient books. But the absence of a name does not mean that it is incurable." Since Meng Jue began to treat Liu Fuling's illness, Liu Fuling's illness began to ease, and he hadn't had heartache or chest pain for a long time.With the facts in front of him, Yun Ge felt a little relieved. Meng Jue took out a one-foot-long silver needle with a thick bottom and a thick top. It was more like a stick than a needle. Yu An was startled: "Master Meng, what are you going to do?" Physician Zhang hastily gestured for silence, walked up to Yu An and said in a low voice, "This should be a bone piercing needle, which can suck bone marrow. It is rumored that the Yellow Emperor used it, and this is the first time I have seen it." Meng Jue handed a piece of cork to Liu Fuling: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will be very painful. I should have used some medicine to make the Emperor lose the pain sensation, but I haven't diagnosed it yet, so I dare not take medicine at will, so I can only..." Liu Fuling took the cork and said calmly: "I can bear it." Physician Zhang said: "If the emperor is in pain, just call out, it will make you feel better." Meng Jue exerted force on his wrist, and inserted the needle into Liu Fuling's femur. Liu Fuling's complexion turned pale in an instant, and the cold sweat on his forehead, each as big as a soybean, dripped down, but he clenched his teeth tightly and did not utter a sound.Seeing that the silver needle was not in Liu Fuling's body, Yu An felt a chill in his own bones. Liu Fuling lay down, Meng Jue stood. He watched Liu Fuling condescendingly, the needle in his hand maintained a constant speed, and slowly inserted into the femur.Yun Ge, who was lying on the window and peeping, empathized, his face was pale, bloodshot gradually appeared on his biting lip. People describe extreme pain as piercing pain, how painful is this pain?Hearing the rapid breathing outside the window, the ink in Meng Jue's eyes darkened, and his gesture became more and more slow, pushing the silver needle into the bone extremely slowly, Liu Fuling still didn't moan, but his face turned from white to blue.Doctor Zhang looked at Meng Jue's acupuncture technique with confusion in his eyes.The bone marrow had been taken, Meng Jue didn't dare to stay in the bone for a long time, and quickly pulled out the needle, Liu Fuling was in a trance from the pain, but still didn't utter a word. Meng Jue carefully put the needle into the crystal case, signaling Yu An to come forward.Yu An hurriedly went to visit the emperor, and the clothes on Liu Fuling's body seemed to be soaked in water, so Yu An hurriedly ordered Qixi to help change the clothes for the emperor, in case the emperor caught cold. Meng Jue kowtowed to leave, Liu Fuling muttered something, he didn't hear clearly.Yu An said: "Master Meng stepped forward and obeyed." Meng Jue knelt down in front of Liu Fuling's bed. Liu Fuling's voice was like a gnat: "Thank you!" Meng Jue said: "Don't dare, it's my duty." Liu Fuling twitched the corners of his mouth lightly, as if he wanted to laugh, but he really didn't have any strength. After a while, he said again: "You...you don't want to help anyone. Whatever you want, I will definitely give you." Meng Jue was stunned. "Preserve your strength and stay out of it." Liu Fuling closed his eyes and lightly raised his index finger.Yu An immediately made a gesture of invitation: "Master Meng, I will give you a ride." Yu An sent Meng Jue out of the house, and Meng Jue handed Yu An a small sandalwood box: "I'm bothering you, father-in-law." Yu An took it with a smile: "Thank you, my servant. If Miss Yun doesn't have the fragrance of your lord, I don't know how much she will suffer." He opened the box and checked it, then sniffed it with his nose, "It smells like the fragrance from before. Not the same." Meng Jue smiled lightly and said, "The medicine changes with the symptoms. Her cough is better than before, so the medicine is naturally different." Yu An nodded and put the box away: "This servant has to go back to serve the emperor, so I will send it here, my lord, go slowly." Meng Jue bowed farewell to Yu An. Meng Jue came out of the palace gate, saw Yun Ge sitting in the corner, and said calmly, "I have something to ask you." After speaking, he continued to move forward without stopping. Yun Ge sat blankly for a while, then jumped up and chased after her.Walking to a secluded place, Meng Jue stopped in his tracks: "You told the emperor what the consultation fee I want?" "Holding a lot of power, the officials rank among the three princes and nine ministers." Yun Ge's tone was full of sarcasm, "Since you don't care about the world's taxes, if I tell the emperor that you don't charge consultation fees, it will be even more absurd. Thinking about it, you really want to come here." need." Meng Jue smiled: "Then I should thank you, you know how to plan your husband's future before you even pass the door." Yun Ge's face suddenly turned pale, making the traces of blood on his lips look strangely gorgeous. Meng Jue smiled like a spring breeze, turned and left. When Meng Jue entered the house, Liu He rushed in: "Third brother, are you treating the emperor?" Meng Jue was leaning on the couch, turning over the bamboo slips: "Yes." "You knew it earlier, but you didn't tell me..." Liu He pointed at Meng Jue, angry but didn't know how to express it. After a while, he put down his hand and asked, "How is the emperor's illness?" Meng Jue shook her head: "I don't know." Liu He stared at him for a moment, and saw that he was telling the truth: "Can it be cured or not?" Yu Jue looked at the bamboo slips in his hand and said, "If you find out the source of the disease, you can cure it." "Not pectoral paralysis?" Meng Jue was impatient: "If it's chest pain, I would say I don't know?" Liu He stared at him for a long time, then slowly said: "Xiao Jue, don't do anything because of the wish that the second brother told you. When the second brother said those words to you, he was just an unopened mind Half-adult, what he thinks and thinks in the future has already changed. I know you won't believe what I say..." It was fine if Liu He didn't mention Yuesheng, but when he mentioned Yuesheng, Meng Jue suddenly threw the bamboo slips in his hand at Liu He: "Get out!" Liu He easily grabbed the bamboo slips, it was a volume of "Life Notes", which recorded Liu Fuling's daily diet.The bedside and the desk were all piled up with such bamboo slips, and there were many notes made by Meng Jue. Liu He felt apologetic. Meng Jue's face was calm, and he said lightly: "There are many hidden dangers in the current court. If you make a careless move, you will lose everything. You should worry about yourself and don't make noise with me." After finishing speaking, ignore Liu He. Liu He thought about it and wanted to talk, but was dragged out of the house by Sanyue who heard the sound and entered the house.Sanyue dragged him to the flower garden, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why does the eldest son blame others indiscriminately? These days, the third son has never really rested, and he is watching the emperor's "Daily Notes" in the room every day. ", the three sons have seen the work and rest, diet, daily life, major and minor illnesses for more than ten years and four to five thousand days, and they have to prepare medicines and ponder over and over again for the emperor's prescriptions, lest one carelessness will cause the emperor's complications disease. Look..." Sanyue pointed to the surrounding area of ​​the greenhouse, full of baskets of medicines, and pots of living herbs, arranged in different categories, and the whole flower garden was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance, "You still say The third son is not dedicated? He is almost exhausted!" Liu He was silent. Sanyue said unrelentingly: "The third son seems to like Miss Yiyun, you must know better than us whether it is true or not. If it is true, have you ever thought about how the third son feels? You can't eat well all day long, and you can't sleep well. , Who is it that you are trying to save? The third son is also a person, why don't you allow him to have a temper?" Liu He hurriedly bowed: "My good girl, I was wrong, and it was all my fault. You girls all have your heart on the third child. When I was scolded by him, I didn't see you helping me." March remained unwilling and closed her mouth. Liu He looked around the flower garden again, turned around abruptly, and hurried to the study.San Yue yelled anxiously, and chased after Liu He: "Eldest Young Master, why did you go again?" Liu He turned his head, waved her down, and said gently, "I'll give the third brother a reason to save people, so that saving people will be easier." Seeing Liu He's expression in San Yue, she didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, stopped in a hurry, and said respectfully: "Yes, I will leave." Meng Jue heard the sound of the door being pushed, saw him again, and asked a little tiredly, "What else do you need?" Liu He sat across from him, and suppressed his usual smile: "I want to tell you something." Meng Jue was still studying the bone piercing needle in the crystal box, and only nodded. "I wonder if Yuesheng told you about his experience before he met you?" Meng Jue's subordinates stopped moving, but still did not speak. "In the last years of the first emperor, because of the chaotic government and the people's livelihood, countless refugees who lost their land were forced to rob the government's granaries. The government ordered to arrest and kill these 'rebel' rioters. Yuesheng was one of them. In order to survive, Yuesheng's father wanted to bring On the way to escape, his father was killed by officers and soldiers, but he was rescued by a boy and a little girl, the girl who saved him was named Yunge..." Meng Jue raised his head and stared at Liu He. "Yuesheng's character, as you know, he is willing to take the responsibility of his brother on himself, but he is unwilling to let his brother take the responsibility for him. Therefore, these things were mentioned by him occasionally when Yuesheng and I were drunk. I don’t even know the name of the girl who rescued him until that day...until that day on Ganquan Mountain, he died because of me. Before he died, he entrusted me with some The matter, I half guessed and understood that the girl who rescued him was called Yunge, and he even asked me to take care of his relatives... At that time, he wanted to tell me many things, but he couldn't say them all. I cried to God I swear that I will repay his favor and take good care of his only family member, which is you." Speaking of this, Liu He's voice was a little hoarse, he calmed down for a while, and then said: "After you came to me, I saw the younger brother Yuesheng often mentioned. I thought, in this life, no matter how you treat me , I will definitely regard you as my own brother. In order to fulfill another wish of Yuesheng, I spent a lot of time looking for Yunge everywhere, but I couldn't find it. I didn't expect that it would take no effort at all, you He even proposed to a girl named Yun Ge, and chased her from the Western Regions to Chang'an. The purpose of my trip to Chang'an was not to check on your actions, but to meet her. Once I saw her, I didn't need any evidence , I already knew that this Yunge was the 'Yunge' I was looking for. But what about that boy? According to Yuesheng's description, the boy and Yunge should have just met each other not long ago. I thought it was you, because according to Yuesheng According to Sheng’s description, the time when he was rescued seems to be consistent with the time you met Yun Ge, and the place is also the same.” Liu He looked at Meng Jue with a very complicated gaze: "You know more about Yun Ge than I do. After hearing this, you should already know who the boy who saved Yue Sheng is. I only recently wanted to understand this matter. Only then did I understand why Yuesheng had such a complicated expression when he saw Liu Fuling on Mount Ganquan." Meng Jue's voice was as cold as ice: "Since you decided to hide it, why did you tell me now?" Liu Hechang sighed: "This is what Yuesheng said to me before he died. I can't do anything for him anymore, this is the only thing I can do for him." He spread his hands and said with a wry smile, " Yes, I have selfish intentions, I just want to make my conscience more stable, so I don't want you to fulfill Yuesheng's wish. But now I find that Yuesheng owes Liu Fuling, and only you can repay it on his behalf." Meng Jue's face turned blue, Liu He made a frightened expression, jumped up, and became his usual tired and lazy look, and ran out in a hurry, saying, "I'm leaving! I want to fight to find Liu Yue and them! I don’t have time to accompany you today.” Meng Jue stared at the crystal box on the table, with all kinds of emotions in her eyes. Cicada on the tree outside the house shouted desperately "Zhi-ha-" and "Zhi-ha-". Got it?Got it!Some things in life are better not knowing. With a loud bang, the door of the study was suddenly kicked open. Meng Jue, who was rarely angry, suddenly lost control of his emotions. He slapped the table with his hand, and a stone inkstone on the table whizzed and hit the life.After Meng Jue knocked out the inkstone, he saw that it was Yun Ge who was coming, he was shocked, and hurriedly flew forward again. As soon as Yun Ge kicked the door open, she rushed in angrily. She never thought that Meng Jue would hit her with the inkstone. some distance. Seeing that the inkstone was about to hit Yun Ge's head, Meng Jue was quick to think, and picked up a pot of tung oil on the shelf for wiping woodware and poured it at Yun Ge's feet. Following a pungent smell, Yun Ge screamed "Ah", slipped under his feet, and fell heavily on the terrazzo ground. With a slight difference, the inkstone flew over her head and hit the yard, breaking a tree as thick as an arm on the spot. This fall was really hard, Yun Ge's arms and legs ached, and half of his face immediately swelled up.The body and hair are covered with greasy and unpleasant tung oil, which makes people dizzy. Meng Jue hurriedly went to help her, but she opened his hand forcefully, trying to get up by herself, but her hands and feet slipped, and just as she arched herself, she fell down again. Seeing her distressed appearance, Meng Jue felt distressed and funny at the same time, and hurriedly said, "Don't lose your temper, I didn't expect it to be you. I asked Sanyue to prepare the washing utensils for you. I will make an apology to you." As he spoke, he grabbed Yun Ge's arm, trying to lift her up. Yun Ge slapped his hand hard, shouting: "I don't want your fake kindness, we don't want your fake kindness...we don't want..." Tears streaming down his face as he cried. Meng Jue's hand was a little stiff, Yun Ge took advantage of the situation to break free from him, and while trying to get up, cried and said: "I just went to Shiqu Pavilion to check the secret book, and the book said that the bone piercing needle should be fast in and fast out. Fast forward because the pain of piercing the bone is unbearable, but you slowly inserted it... You said you were a person who kept your promise, but you..." Yun Ge worked hard several times, and finally stood up. Her hair and face were covered with oil, half of her face was swollen, and she was in a state of embarrassment, but her expression was strangely stubborn, "I don't want your fake Good heart, no matter how superb your medical skills are, I will never let you torture him again, and you don’t have to use it to treat Brother Ling! Anyway, if he lives, I will live; if he dies, I will die. I will always be by my side His, I am not afraid of any strange disease!" After speaking, he limped out of the house while wiping away his tears. Meng Jue wanted to call her and opened his mouth, but his throat was dry and he couldn't make any sound.
