house slave heavy five

The next day, it rained like a torrential rain.The old man's trip to the mountain was still the same, but he couldn't use the torch, so they set off after dawn.Chong Wu naturally followed suit.

On the third day, the torrential rain continued.Mountain travel remains the same.

The fourth day, the fifth day,...

It rained for seven days. During this period, they encountered lightning that seemed so close at hand, encountered landslides, encountered a long road that almost had to be walked on their knees, and encountered violent storms that tore the bamboo hats to pieces. .

When the rain finally stopped, Chong Wu seemed to be relieved, let everything pass, and from today on, he will travel seriously and live a good life.

After a hundred days, they went down the mountain.

The old man began to teach him medical skills, and began to practice medicine in one small county after another.The old man practiced medicine according to his will. He saw a doctor for the rich and the poorest coolies.The only patient he ever turned down was the jailer, and he never saw a jailer.But he never warned Chong Wu not to see a doctor for them, as if this was just his personal insistence and had nothing to do with others.

They never stay in one place for too long, and when people start to realize the miraculous healing skills of the old man, they usually have left.In this way, three years have passed.Chong Wu thought that they would continue to travel like this until they found them on a fast horse.

The old man received a letter brought by a fast horse, and started on his way to the capital.

In the end they arrived at the capital, Tai Hospital, and the patient was the emperor.

At this time, Chong Wu understood the reason why the old man did not speak.

Bai Yu, the only apprentice of the old man, diagnosed the happy pulse when he was taking the pulse of Concubine He Shu, and congratulated Concubine He Shu: "Congratulations, your mother is pregnant for three months."Concubine He Shu was furious, saying that she was clearly only less than two months pregnant, but Bai Yu misdiagnosed her as three months, and sent him to prison at that time.

Concubines in the harem have no right to convict, so Bai Yu just needs to stay in prison, and when the old man who followed the emperor in the palace comes back, Bai Yu will naturally be able to get out of trouble safely.Unfortunately, half a month later, the old man returned to Tai Hospital only to learn the news that Bai Yu was tortured to death by the jailer.

Torturing to death an imperial physician who has not yet been convicted, the jailer will naturally be severely punished.But the old man checked Concubine He Shu's pulse again, and left without saying anything.

Since then, the old man never spoke again.

After two months, Concubine He Shu got up for a walk in the middle of the night for some reason, and fell into the water.In the name of not cherishing the royal blood, the emperor asked the He family to take Concubine He Shu home for burial, not to enter the concubine's mausoleum, and not to enjoy the royal incense.Since then, the He family has declined.It was also from then on that the old man retired from the palace and began to travel around as a doctor.

And the old man came back this time because the emperor has been sick for more than three months and has not improved for a long time, so he can only pin his hopes on him.

The old man would take Chong Wu with him wherever he went, so Chong Wu also saw the sick emperor in bed.

With cloudy eyes, gray complexion, and the smell of corruption in his breath, Chong Wu knew that the emperor's time was numbered.Even the elderly may not be able to change.

Sure enough, the old man only prescribed some decoctions for sleeping, pricked a few acupuncture points for pain relief, and came out without doing anything else.

After they came out, a group of people from the side hall entered one after another.There seemed to be a familiar figure inside, but it didn't seem to exist.Chong Wu followed behind the old man with his head down all the time, and he didn't deliberately look at it, but saw a piece of dark-striped clothes passing by before his eyes, and then disappeared.

He didn't deliberately pay attention to the news of that person, but he knew a lot.The expedition to Xiyue did not go smoothly at the beginning, and after three months of fighting, it was still stalemate. Yuan Yu was shot by the opponent's general during his inspection on the tower, and then fell into a coma.The crown prince directly asked Wei King Gu Zeyong to act on his behalf, and the battle situation improved. Afterwards, more than a dozen cities were captured, and more than half of Xiyue had been incorporated.

But when it comes to winter, they can only retreat to the city to wait for the coming year.

They did not send troops in the spring of the second year, nor did they send troops in summer. When autumn came and Xiyue thought that they would not send troops again, they took down Qamdo, the capital of Xiyue, in one go.But Kuo Tu was not caught, and he retreated to the last few cities with 2 people.

The prince was anxious to return to the capital to stabilize his power, but the king of Wei insisted on capturing the whole of Xiyue.The two teams parted ways, the prince returned to Beijing with a large army, and the king of Wei continued to attack the city with 5 people.

The prince encountered a flood on the way back, startled the driver, was thrown off the carriage, broke his leg, and has been recuperating since returning to Beijing.

In the spring of the third year, Kuotu died in battle, and Xiyue merged into Dongqi.

Even if that person is him, he must have just returned to Beijing.

The prince heard that the genius doctor Bai Chun was back, so he hurriedly sent someone to invite him.

The old man went to the prince's mansion to show the prince his legs, and of course he took Chong Wu with him.

After seeing the prince's legs, the old man wrote a few words on Chong Wu's palm and went out.

Chong Wu kowtowed to the prince and said, "The master said that His Highness's leg has been injured for too long, and the reconnection may be interrupted."

"If you don't interrupt, is there a possibility of recovery?"

"I'm [-]% sure, but I have to be splinted for three years. I won't be able to walk for three years."

Now that the emperor is critically ill, it is best for the prince to recover immediately, the sooner the better.The throne has never been inherited by a disabled person.

"If it is interrupted, how long will it take to recover?" the prince asked with difficulty.

"Up to three months. You must not stand up or walk during this period."

"In your opinion...the emperor might last three months?" the prince asked softly after turning away all the people around him.

"..." This is a secret, not what Chong Wu can say.

"Then... in three months, can I go to pay my respects to my father?"

"..." Chong Wu still didn't speak, but shook his head slightly.

"...Come here! The genius doctor has found a way to make me recover, and I will be rewarded!"

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

In the evening, the prince secretly summoned his uncle and said bluntly that the emperor could not live for three months, but he would need at least three months to recover.Seeing that the throne is about to fall aside, I don't know what kind of plan he has made.

Half a month later, it was reported that Concubine Ji was poisoned and dumb because of eating tea by mistake. The second prince was furious and urged Dali Temple to investigate quickly. After this investigation, the prince was found.

The prince's leg had just broken the reconnection, but Dali Temple asked him to go to the palace to report immediately.

Although the servants lifted him carefully, the prince was still sweating from the pain and his face was pale.When he came back from the palace, he was already dripping with sweat.

When the prince returned to the mansion, he called his uncle and scolded him: "Uncle is so confused, what are you doing with that noble concubine Ji, I have suffered so much!"

"It's not what we did!" He Chun yelled again and again.

The prince naturally didn't believe it. Although he swore in the palace statement that he didn't do it himself, he still believed that his uncle ordered someone to do it.He just thinks that Noble Concubine Ji should not be moved, but the Second Prince should be removed directly.

In fact, the prince really blamed his uncle wrongly, and this matter is very serious.

Chong Wu had smelled a unique fragrance when he asked Concubine Ji for his peace pulse. It was a unique fragrance of red snake fruit, a specialty fruit in a small southern country.Later, he added red Zhutou to Concubine Ji's beauty soup.Red Zhutou promotes blood and nourishes the skin, but it will be poisonous when it encounters red snake fruit.

Seeing that the prince hadn't summoned him since he came back, Chong Wu hurriedly said to the butler, "I hope you can inform me that the prince's legs have experienced bumps back and forth, and the dressing needs to be changed as soon as possible."

The housekeeper hurriedly went, and hurried back to take him to see the prince.

"Your Highness, please forgive me, your leg..."

"what happened?"

"I wonder if Your Highness has ever moved violently?"

"During the dispute, the second prince once pushed me."

"...Your Highness, your leg bones have been displaced. If treated properly, you should be able to stand up. I'm afraid you will be a little lame anyway."

"What did you say?!" The prince threw the medicine bowl he was drinking at him in surprise and anger.

Chong Wu was hit on the forehead, blood immediately covered his vision.But he just knelt down, neither evading nor defending.

"Come here, give me..." The prince wanted to say something, but was interrupted loudly by his uncle He Shijun.

"Prince calm down, prince calm down, the leg still needs to be healed, and it will be cured." He Shijun turned his head and asked Chongwu again: "I don't know how the little genius doctor will treat it?"

"You still need to break your Highness's leg bones to the correct position before you can continue to rest." He took out a small porcelain bottle and said, "The medicine in this bottle is colorless and tasteless. You only need to drink two drops. Your Highness will be able to sleep peacefully without feeling any pain, and then I will be able to help His Highness set his bones."

"Leave the medicine, the things His Highness imported still need more inspection." He Shijun said.

"Yes." Chong Wu left.

The prince is at a dead end, and he must make a dangerous move, and that bottle of potion can help him.

When he returned to the rented house, the blood on his face had dried up, but his forehead was still aching. The master had been in the palace recently, and he was the only one at home, so he could only fumble to bandage himself.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, the door was closed behind him.

There was a person sitting in front of the table, still without a crown, with an ebony hairpin inserted randomly, still wearing a dark-colored dark-pattern robe, but more majestic and deeper eyes.

"I have met King Wei." Chongwu knelt down and kowtowed.

"...What's your name?" After a while, he finally spoke.

"The name of a slave is five."

"Call yourself a slave? Everyone in the Prince's House respectfully calls you 'Little Miracle Doctor'."

"The prince naturally knows the true face of the servant."

"No, I don't know. I only know that there is a small country in the south called Yuezhi Kingdom. The time when Yuezhi Kingdom fell was when you were injured, and the youngest prince of Yuezhi Kingdom is called Yue Chongwu. I'm right. ?”

"...Yes..." He answered with difficulty.

"What's your last name?"

"Slave, surnamed Yue."

"What are you here for?"

"Help King Wei unify the four kingdoms."

"Oh?" He didn't believe it.

"Five countries struggle for hegemony, years of wars, the poor people's wives and children are separated, they suffer from hunger and cold, and suffer unspeakably. Only when the world is unified, the people can recuperate, live and work in peace and contentment. Only His Royal Highness King Wei can do this."

"You don't blame me for beating you? Abandoning you?"

"Chong Wu is just a slave."

"You always insist that you are just a slave, so how can you help me unify the four kingdoms?"

"Within half a month, the prince will naturally understand."

"Then I'll wait for you for half a month." With that said, he got up and was about to leave.

"Congratulations to the lord."

Shen Seyijiao stopped in front of him.

"Maybe you don't believe me, but I don't want to abandon you." He said.

"The servant believes that the prince has his own reasons." Therefore, he had to throw him in a coma to others.

The man seemed to be angry, flicked his sleeves, and strode away.

One of the two door gods followed, and the other stayed behind.

"The prince sent me to secretly protect the young master." He said.

Probably stayed to keep an eye on him.

Zhongwu nodded, knowing it.

After the man said hello, he disappeared again.

Heavy five didn't take it seriously.

Ten days later, the second prince, Liangting, fell into the pond drunk and drowned.

The fact that the second prince was drunk and fell into the pond itself was quite strange, and what was even more strange was that the guards were not far away, but the second prince did not struggle after drowning, and drowned silently like this.

After a joint diagnosis by several senior imperial physicians from the imperial hospital, the second prince had no trauma, nor was he poisoned. It was indeed true that he was drowning.

No matter what, Concubine Ji and Ji Shi did not believe this result.They concluded that someone must have harmed the second prince.Ask Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate to the end.

Under pressure, the Tai Hospital had no choice but to use strong medicine to wake up the emperor.

The emperor then summoned all the princes and ministers to discuss the matter together.

"...the body has no trauma, the bones are white and smooth, and there is no sign of poisoning..." The Tai Hospital announced the test results, "...the earlobe is coagulated..."

"Blood in the earlobe?" Chong Wu was puzzled.

"What's wrong?" the people from Tai Hospital asked.

"Is it congealed into blood beads like His Royal Highness?" Chong Wu asked.

Under the emperor's signal, the people from the Imperial Hospital immediately went over to check the prince's earlobe, and replied: "The shape is the same, but His Royal Highness's is slightly smaller, and the second prince's earlobe is slightly larger."

"Chongwu, tell me carefully."

"Yes. When setting the bone, in order to avoid the patient struggling violently, the slave usually gives the patient some anesthetics. The most effective one is called 'Mengyun San'. After taking the medicine, the patient feels no pain, as if he is asleep. Only the earlobe will The blood condenses, and it disperses after three months. Apart from this, there is no other harm, so when the servant is setting the prince's bones, he left a bottle for the prince to take..." Chong Wu didn't say any more.

"Is this medicine still available?" the emperor asked.

"This medicinal material is very rare, and only one bottle has been refined so far."

"Go to the Prince's Mansion to get the medicine."

"Yes."

The medicine was brought soon, and a young man was found in Tai Hospital and gave him two drops.After a cup of tea, the young man fell into a coma. No matter whether the people from the hospital stabbed him with needles, cut him with a knife, or immersed him in the water with his head down, he seemed to be asleep, soundless and motionless. shift.And the earlobe began to clot slowly, eventually forming a blood bead.

Two hours later, the young man woke up.Said that he was insensible to all the things that happened to him while he was asleep, and he didn't notice the pain until he woke up.

Things have become clear.

"Come here, Chongwu has ulterior motives and is sent to death row!" The emperor's first sentence after seeing the verification was this.

"Your Majesty! This medicine was developed by a slave, and Chongwu was also used to help the prince straighten his bones!" The first words that the genius doctor Bai Chun spoke after a few years.

"Don't use torture for now." The emperor said again.

Re-five is regarded as saving a life.

Chong Wu knew that he would be implicated in the end, but he had no other way, and this was the quickest.So, at this time, he was very calm.He even secretly glanced at King Wei.

Fortunately, that person didn't seem to want to stand up for him.At this time, it is safest for him to do nothing.

The subsequent development is beyond his control.But as long as this matter is investigated from the prince, there will be clues.Concubine Ji and the Ji family will never let him go, even if he can save his life, he will miss the throne.

He was sent to death row. Although no punishment was used, life was not easy.

The so-called death row means that no one has ever walked out of it.A dark cell with no windows, the door seemed to be rusted, and the jailer took a long time to pull it open, and it never opened again after throwing him in.There is a small door on the door, a bowl of water and a cornbread in the morning and afternoon.Other than that, nothing.

There was no light, no sound, and within a few days, he could already clearly distinguish the different footsteps of several jailers.

After a few more days, he began to think that perhaps the emperor should have killed him at that time, which seemed more enjoyable.

He was afraid that he would not be able to remember the time, so he used his nails to draw a mark on the wall every time the jailer delivered a meal.

After he made twenty marks, a new jailer came to bring him food, and left a sentence: "Young Master Yumian, please wait in peace."

That person must be close to success.

But I am afraid it is also difficult.

The status of the crown prince is not guaranteed, and the second prince is dead, so the rest of the princes are nothing to worry about.It's just that the gentry must not want to see an adult prince with military power ascend the throne, which is not conducive to their control of the emperor.And the ministers were unwilling to pass on the throne to a prince with blood from other royal families.At this time, what the man could win was the emperor's support.

Only when the king of Wei ascended the throne can the imperial power be firmly in the hands of the emperor and not be controlled by his relatives and gentry.But to get the support of the emperor, you must act according to the emperor's will.At this time, the emperor hated him for indirectly killing the second prince. He didn't kill him right away for the sake of a genius doctor, but he would definitely not let him live for a long time.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that the dark and quiet days were not so difficult.

As long as Wei Wang ascended the throne, half of his ideals will be realized.What about the other half?

After thinking about it, he tore off a piece of cloth from his body, bit his finger and began to write.

When the jailer reappeared, he handed the cloth into his hands.

When King Wei got the piece of cloth, there were only a few shallow words on it: "The soul of unity lies in the unity of people's hearts."

A few words, can only rely on comprehension.

In fact, Chong Wu also wanted to write more details, but biting his fingers was too painful, and he had to bite all ten of his fingers to write those few words.Forget it, let it be like that, why should he worry so much when he is dying.

On the fifth day, there was no worry or hope, and life became easier instead.

He began to recall the past over and over again.Strangely, what he recalled the most was the scene of meeting King Wei for the first time.

He remembered clearly the corner of the clothes, the brow, and even the arc of his fingers holding the teacup.He just sat there, doing nothing, but it was as bright as a luminous body in his eyes.

Although he stayed in the third young master's room, he knew they didn't do anything.The room smelled of wine but not fishy, ​​the quilt was slightly wrinkled but not messy, and there was a new quilt on the couch next to it.

As he said, all he wanted was a reputation for being a licentious man.

As for himself, he said he wanted a reputation for being affectionate.

deep feeling?Broken sleeve?It has a good reputation.

It would be nice if he really had a lover who was so handsome and affectionate.

Not long ago, he firmly believed that he would not fall in love with such a cold-hearted person who regarded slaves as worthless.Not long after, he slapped himself in the face again, and Chong Wu laughed at himself.

"It's time to eat." The jailer knocked on the door to remind him.

He touched the bowl, and this time there was an egg next to the wotou.

I don't know if it's the last meal.

Leave him alone, eat it.

Fortunately, they didn't put a piece of meat in for him, you know, he doesn't eat meat.

For several days, not only did the cornbread change from one to two, but the egg also changed from one to two. Only then did he realize that it should not be the last supper, but that someone had made substantial progress.

That man can do it, he believes.

Even without his actions, he can do it.But it would be better if he could not use weapons.All of what he did, on the one hand, avoided bloodshed, and on the other hand, it also allowed him to succeed to the throne in a legitimate way, which is crucial to the great cause of reunification in the future.Therefore, even if he wants to die of old age in this black prison, it is still worth it.

A few days later, the new jailer came with someone to deliver the food.

He handed in a cloth bag and said, "My lord, please change into this clothes as soon as possible and follow me."

Chongwu asked him: "Has the emperor resumed the early court?"

"The emperor is still recuperating, and the king of Wei is currently overseeing the country."

That is, it has not yet been enthroned.

He cannot afford to fall short.

"I'm not leaving." He handed the cloth bag back. "Hurry up and get rid of these, don't let people catch you."

Seeing that he persisted, the jailer hurried away with him.

Sure enough, a few eunuchs came in the afternoon and went straight to his cell.He opened the door and took a torch to look at his face for a while before leaving.It seems that someone has chewed his ears in front of the emperor.

In the evening, he was changed cell.

His hands and feet were chained and thrown into a water prison.

Probably the emperor missed the second prince again.

Speaking of which, the former black prison is better.At least there, his bitten finger was slowly healing.In the water dungeon, the places that hadn't had time to heal had already started to swell and fester.

According to his previous experience in practicing medicine, he can last up to ten days.Even if he was rescued ten days later, there would be no cure.

Two days later he developed a fever, and he felt like he was burning out.He actually saw King Wei and his master.To Wei Wang, he only had daydreams but no worries, but to his master, he was full of guilt.So he said: "A disciple is not filial." He didn't have any strength, and he seemed to say it and then didn't seem to say it. He didn't remember, because he passed out again.

Bai Chun remembered that the last sentence left by his other apprentice Bai Yu was also "disciple is not filial." He sighed and shook his head, took out a bottle of ointment from his arms and applied it on Chong Wu's finger, and gave him another After pouring a few homemade pills, he turned around and cupped his hands to King Wei and said, "Thank you King Wei for saving my disciple's life."

King Wei took him to have a look during the sensitive period of his succession, and he took a lot of risks. Even though there must be other reasons for this, he is still grateful.At least, he came here to temporarily save his disciple's finger and life.It's just that I'm afraid it won't last long.

A few days later, the emperor's condition suddenly deteriorated, and he left an imperial decree to pass on the throne, and then drove west.

Wei Wang's name was justified and he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, his country was named Yansheng, and he was known as Emperor Yansheng in history.
