The lady who is a miracle doctor arrives and makes the general blush and his heart beats

Zhao Zixu missed three morning court sessions, citing physical discomfort caused by excessive fatigue and sadness over the past few days.

He was already grief-stricken over the early death of his beloved son, and now he heard that he had been poisoned for a long time. He needed some time to calm down.

A few days later, news suddenly came that Doctor Su had died suddenly at home.

Zhao Zixu suddenly realized that things were definitely not simple, as if there was an invisible hand behind him controlling something.

He used the Huaiqin Pavilion left by the previous emperor to secretly investigate his poisoning, and at the same time secretly looked for a doctor who was proficient in poisons to detoxify him.

Zhao Zixu didn't dare to use the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau because he was afraid that someone in the hospital would find out.

Finally, one day half a month later, Zhao Zixu was diagnosed by a famous hidden doctor and found out that he was indeed carrying poison, and there were several kinds of poison in his body.

These toxins are very complex, mutually reinforcing and counteracting, and extremely difficult to decompose. They will not kill people immediately, but will erode the body of the poisoned person little by little, killing the poisoned person without knowing it.

The toxins eat into the body very slowly, so the poisoned person can hardly feel any changes in the body in the early stages. By the time they begin to notice something unusual, the poisoning is already serious.

……

In April, the northern barbarians launched a massive attack on the Song Dynasty's border, and the situation was extremely critical.

Zhao Zixu ordered Ye Yushi to lead troops to attack the Liao army.

Before leaving, Ye Yushi went to the palace to bid farewell to Zhao Zixu. The young man was dressed in military uniform, holding a silver spear, looking handsome and majestic.

"Talking about military affairs on paper is ultimately a paper tiger with a strong exterior but a weak interior. To become a real general, the battlefield is the best training." Zhao Zixu put his hand on Ye Yushi's shoulder and patted him a few times. He had 100% trust in Ye Yushi.

Ye Yushi cupped his hands and said, "I will not let your majesty down."

Zhao Zixu said, "I look forward to your triumphant return."

Ye Yushi looked at Zhao Zixu, his deep eyes reflecting incomparable determination and confidence, as if telling Zhao Zixu, I will definitely drive the Liao dogs back to their hometown in a mess!

"I look northwest, with my carved bow and full moon to shoot the wolf in the sky. I will not return until I have conquered Loulan. Your Majesty, just wait for good news from me!"

The young man walked down the steps and headed towards the palace gate. His bold and hearty words showed his unique confidence.

Ye Yushi was born into a family of generals. His ability in military command and leading troops in battle was unparalleled. The first time he commanded a battle, he forced the Liao people to retreat.

The army he led fought against the Liao people three times. In the third battle, they were in a stalemate and failed to force them to retreat. When the war situation was tense, Princess Jing'an, who had married into the Northern Liao Dynasty in her early years, rushed to the Song-Liao border. With Princess Jing'an's mediation and persuasion, the Liao people had no choice but to withdraw their troops.

Princess Jing'an was already an old woman in her twilight years. She missed her homeland and proposed to return to the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zixu was grateful for Princess Jing'an's many years of loyalty to the Song Dynasty, so he asked Ye Yushi to discuss with the Liao Kingdom about Princess Jing'an's return to the country.

After unremitting efforts, the Liao Kingdom finally agreed to allow Princess Jing'an to leave Liao and return to Song.

At the same time, Zhao Zixu's decree arrived at the northern border, conferring the title of Princess Jing'an as the Grand Princess of Anguo.

It was half a year later that Ye Yushi returned triumphantly.

In October, the dead of winter, there was a heavy snowfall in the capital city, covering everything in silver and white.

"Your Majesty, I am back."

Ye Yushi took off his military uniform, changed into a sky-blue robe, wrapped himself in a snow-white fox fur coat, and dressed neatly before entering the palace to meet Zhao Zixu.

The battlefield is a good place for training. The boy has shed his youthfulness and become more calm, measured, reserved and steady.

Zhao Zixu thought so.

"Yu Shi, I will not give you too much reward. The position of General Xuanwu is just a nominal title without any real power. It will not affect your work for me. You will be in charge of the planning of the Dragon Shadow Division." Zhao Zixu said lightly.

Ye Yushi bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, I will obey your will."

The young man had a sad face, and Zhao Zixu was not used to him. "Xiaoxiao, this face is so ugly."

Ye Yushi reluctantly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.

Although he has been in the northern border for the past six months, he has been paying close attention to Zhao Zixu's situation.

Two months ago, following the early death of the eldest prince, the only little prince also died. Within a year, Your Majesty lost two little princes in succession.

Your Majesty has been severely poisoned and no medicine can cure him. I don’t know how long he can live.

Just before, when he had just reported the war situation in the north, His Majesty told him, "I don't have much time left. The hermit doctor said that I can't survive more than three years at most."

He couldn't believe it and stared at Zhao Zixu in disbelief.

"I have no son. I will choose one of my younger brothers to inherit the throne. You must help me accomplish this." Zhao Zixu currently has few trustworthy people, and Ye Yushi is one of them. He can only tell Ye Yushi the most important things.

Zhao Zixu's words were like a jack pressing down on Ye Yushi. He hadn't yet recovered from the sad news of Zhao Zixu's impending death, and His Majesty had placed the important task of protecting the crown prince on him.

He wanted to escape from Xiangning Palace and find a place to vent his painful and repressed emotions, but Zhao Zixu held him back and forced him to calm down.

"Yu Shi, the only people I can trust are you and Luo Shen."

"Your Majesty, Prince brother..." Ye Yushi called.

His eyes were red and he forced himself to calm down.

……

After this day, the Major General of the Ye family, who won three battles in his first expedition, should have enjoyed the praise of the world and possessed supreme glory, but he lived in seclusion and almost disappeared in the prosperous city of Tokyo, fading from people's sight. No one knew where he was or what he was doing. Even his friends who were familiar with him thought he had gone to the Ye family military camp in the western border.

In fact, Ye Yushi was planning to set up the Dragon Shadow Division.

The so-called Dragon Shadow Division is the emperor's exclusive guard team, independent of the imperial guards, not subject to the control of anyone and only obeying the emperor.

The shadow guards of the Dragon Shadow Division must be highly skilled in martial arts, agile, and absolutely loyal.

Ye Yushi selected the shadow guards of the Dragon Shadow Division regardless of their background. Many of them were prisoners sentenced to exile or military service. These prisoners had simple backgrounds, no relatives, were alone, and had high martial arts skills. By being selected into the Dragon Shadow Division, they could be exempted from exile or military service.

It is a human choice to seek harm and avoid gain. These selected prisoners are naturally willing to do so, and Ye Yushi will not force those who are unwilling.

Three months later, the Dragon Shadow Division was officially established.

Ye Yushi is both the founder and the first leader of the Dragon Shadow Division.

He led the Dragon Shadow Division to secretly carry out the various tasks assigned by His Majesty, which naturally included dealing with some people or things that were inconvenient to execute openly.

There are always certain risks when performing some special tasks.

Ye Yushi remembered the most serious incident when he was on a mission and was unfortunately seriously injured. At that moment he fell to the ground and fainted, he almost thought he was going to die.

The ancients said that a woman dresses up for the man who pleases her, and a man dies for the man who understands him.

He understood the words of the ancients.

At that moment he really thought that if he was really going to die, he would be willing to do it for His Majesty.

Half a year later, Ye Yushi was ordered to withdraw from the Dragon Shadow Division and turn to the treacherous temple.

In the blink of an eye, it was the spring of the third year in Kangding, and it was another new beginning.
