many worries

The shadows of the trees were verdant, and the mottled shadows enveloped the two of them.

Chang Le was taken aback, he took two steps forward, and slapped Qiao Yu's head hard, "What are you saying about death and life? They say that the life of the master in this palace is precious, and our life is cheap. You Don't you take yourself seriously?"

Qiao Yu knew that he was doing it for his own good, and that was what he was thinking just now, not to threaten Changle with himself, he shook his head, "I take myself very seriously, so I don't want to suffer, I don't want to suffer ,It is you who take care of me and treat me well. But he is different, my life and his are connected together, we live and die together."

Chang Le glared at Qiao Yu rather resentfully, not believing that there is any deep friendship between master and slave.

When he was young, he was sent to a concubine's palace. That noble person was not favored, and he was only lucky once or twice. Emperor Yuande forgot all about it and never looked for her again.It was probably because of long-term loneliness and disfavor that he was bullied by the eunuch of the pawn department. The nobleman hated the eunuch and often asked some young eunuchs to go back and strip their clothes and beat them.Changle was beaten so badly once that she lost several teeth, couldn't get out of bed, and was about to die.It was Anping who forcibly knelt at Liu Zhangshi's place for a few days and said all kinds of good things before he sent Changle to the imperial dining room.

The fates are different between people, slaves and masters, so there is no need to talk about other things.

Qiao Yu looked up at him, and said vaguely, "Even if you don't believe me and him, then you and Anping, if he gets sick or injured, Changle, are you willing to just wait like that?"

He doesn't want to.Changle always warns Qiao Yu and Anping that there is no true love in the palace, so don't believe anyone.But if it really involved Anping, Changle would rather take the matter on himself and die for him.

Chang Le's lips trembled slightly, and he stopped talking.

After a long period of silence, he sighed, "You are eloquent, I can't speak to you, but let's talk about it first, to show you the way, out of this door, I will pretend that I never said that, I don't recognize anyone, if you have something to do, you should take care of it yourself, if you die, you will die yourself, and it has nothing to do with me."

Qiao Yu took a few deep breaths and nodded vigorously.

According to the rules in the palace, all sick eunuchs and court ladies should be sent to Jianan Xiku to recuperate.That place is said to be for the slaves to recuperate, but in fact there are only a few female doctors who are similar to medical books, and there are no medicinal materials. They are all boiled by themselves.However, some servants who are favored or have saved up money will hide their illnesses and secretly go to the imperial physician for treatment.Although those imperial doctors looked down on them, there was no reason to push out the money that was delivered to them, and most of them accepted it half-heartedly.

Among them is Xun Le, an imperial physician named Xun Le, who is most open to money. As long as he can afford enough money, he dares to treat anyone and is not afraid of anything.However, his identity is a bit different. He is a senior doctor of the three dynasties with superb medical skills. He went out with the army a few years ago and returned to the capital with Emperor Yuande's life on his back, saving Emperor Yuande.Later, when he was getting older and lacking in energy, Emperor Yuande wanted to let him go back to his hometown to be raised, but he was unwilling, so he knelt down and begged Emperor Yuande to give him the grace of dying in the palace.

There is probably this relationship in it, and Emperor Yuande just turned a blind eye to the things he did to him, and didn't really pursue it.

Chang Le agreed to leave Qiao Yu alone, but he still couldn't bear it, took a set of old clothes from before, and drew a map of the imperial hospital and the directions of the imperial doctors' desks with branches, asking him to remember, and then sent Qiao Yu out.

Qiao Yu didn't remember the way very well, so she had to use the ashes from the stove to draw a map on her inner coat, and carefully lifted that part of the clothes, lest if she accidentally touched it, the map would become blurred.

Since it was an emergency, he didn't plan to wait for the food, so he stuffed four steamed buns in his sleeves, one of which was stuffed with meat, it smelled delicious, and it was for Jing Yan to eat.The Imperial Hospital was a little far away in the imperial dining room, and Qiao Yu had to avoid the patrolling guards, and arrived at the Imperial Hospital after all kinds of difficulties.

Most of the imperial physicians usually live in the palace, and they can only return to their own residences when they take turns to rest.Doctor Xun's house is in the innermost part, separated from the yard in front by a small river, with rows of weeping willows planted, it is very hidden, ordinary people can't see what's going on inside.

Qiao Yu sneaked in stealthily. Doctor Xun was eating lunch. He seemed to have eyes behind his back, so he took a step in tiptoe, when the skinny old man said, "You are here to steal. Or come to see a doctor?"

Qiao Yu was discouraged.

Xun Le turned his head. He was very old, with a long beard that almost covered half of his face. He was as thin as an old pine tree, and his eyes were calm and unwavering.

He looked at Qiao Yu casually, then turned his head back, and muttered, "You came to me without any illness, did you really want to steal something? Even your hands and feet are too clumsy."

Qiao Yu pursed her lips, walked in front of Imperial Physician Xun, hesitated for a moment, then knelt down, and begged earnestly, "I want you to save someone."

Chang Le told Qiao Yu that Doctor Xun was a strange old man. He had no wife, no children, no relatives, no friends. The wooden crown with a missing corner has been worn for several years and is reluctant to change.In addition to this, there is another point, that is, he must know who he is treating for.

Imperial Physician Xun glanced at him casually, but did not tell him to get up, and said, "Tell me, who to save."

Qiao Yu has been an eunuch for so long, because she has been protected by her heart, she has not been bullied much, and she hasn't begged much. A few ringing heads, not knowing that in the palace, knees are the least valuable thing.

He closed his eyes slightly, straightened his back, a little afraid to say that word, because he was too afraid of being rejected.

But there was no other way, no way at all.

Qiao Yu said: "I beg you to save the eldest prince, the eldest prince of the Taiqing Palace."

This was a taboo in the palace. Although Emperor Yuande didn't attack Jing Yan, he still hated this son of the Chen family's blood. Feng Nannan and Jing Xu hated Jing Yan deeply, let alone his name.

Doctor Xun's expression didn't change. He took a sip of wine and didn't even look at Qiao Yu. "The identity of that person, I saw a doctor for him, so maybe I put my life on the line. Why bother? My old man Haven't lived yet, aren't you afraid at such a young age?"

Hearing this, Qiao Yu thought she had already refused. No matter how hard she could straighten her back, she almost collapsed. She shook her head feebly, and then struggled for a while before explaining, "His life, and mine Fate is the same."

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Xun smiled strangely, slowly stretched out three fingers, and gestured in front of Qiao Yu, "Look, this person's identity is related to the old man's life; this person's life is related to the old man's life." Your life is related, plus his own, this is terrible, one life will be worth three lives of others."

Qiao Yu stared blankly at his fingers, gritted his teeth and prepared to stand up, anyway, he had already arrived at the imperial hospital, and there were so many imperial doctors, he had to beg them one by one.

Unexpectedly, Doctor Xun paused after his words. He smiled, but his pupils were cold, "So, what price do you want to pay? How high is the price, and it can be worth these three lives."

Qiao Yu took out all the New Year's money that Jing Yan had given him all these years in his pocket, as well as the valuables that could be brought out from the Taiqing Palace, and he brought them all together, and he showed them all to Imperial Doctor Xun, I was so anxious that I couldn't even speak clearly, "If these are not enough, I still have a glass lamp imported from the West, which is worth thousands of gold."

Imperial Physician Xun counted the gold and silver ingots and jade beads, and said to Qiao Yu, "These are really not enough, they can only be worth the lives of two people at most. You are not allowed to owe debts when you see a doctor here. This money is the same as human life. In arrears. And since that man is worth your life, you have to give what is worth your life."

Qiao Yu half-closed his eyes, propped his hands on the ground, he was so sad, his fragility could almost be broken easily, and he was desperately thinking, what else could he have, what else could be worth his life .

He gritted his teeth, took out the jade pendant hanging around his neck, raised his eyes, his vision was blurred, and said softly: "This is the jade pendant given to me by my grandmother. I asked for it from Lin'an Temple. It is used to bless my life. An An. I was only loved by my grandmother since I was a child. My parents hated me and gave me nothing. Then they all died, and the only thing left at home is this jade pendant. I have worn it for 18 years. Can it, can it Can't it count as my life?"

At the end of the conversation, Qiao Yu's throat was choked up, and he was almost speechless. This was one of the most precious things in his body, and the other was the Buddhist bead string that the crown prince gave him on New Year's Eve six years ago. The two things were the same. It's important to accompany him day and night, like two pieces of meat on his body.

No matter which one is given up, it will hurt for a long time, and the wound will not heal.

Doctor Xun finally smiled with satisfaction. He weighed the jade pendant carefully, put it in his arms, and asked, "I can't enter the Taiqing Palace. I can only ask you about his symptoms." , thinking about prescribing medicine, even so, are you willing to give me this piece of grandmother's jade pendant?"

Without a moment's hesitation, Qiao Yu nodded, and told Imperial Physician Xun little by little Jing Yan's symptoms from last night to this morning.

Although Doctor Xun is greedy for money, his medical skills are really superb. After listening to the symptoms, ordinary doctors can at most diagnose a hot cold, but he pondered for a long time before saying: "I heard the symptoms, it doesn't sound like a hot cold, but like a cold wind entering the body. It is caused by injury to the heart and lungs. The disease comes quickly and violently, and the disease gets worse. If it is not treated in time, the injured heart and lungs will not be able to recover in the end, and the root cause of the disease will remain, and the body will be weak for a lifetime."

Qiao Yu was terrified when he heard this, and he had to lean against the door to continue. Doctor Xun took two patches of medicine. If Jing Yan didn't cough after returning home, he would take the patch for heat and cold.But if the cough is severe, it probably hurts the heart and lungs, and another medicine should be taken.

He was looking forward to going back Jing Yan didn't cough, it was just a common cold.

When we arrived at the gate of Taiqing Palace, it was already too late, earlier than usual.In the past, Qiao Yu used to play around outside, and Xin used it as an excuse, and the guards in front of the door didn't dare to do anything to him, but now that Xin went to southern Xinjiang, Qiao Yu was like a hedgehog whose thorns were stripped, without any protection .

The new guard looked down on Qiao Yu and wanted to show off his prestige, so he managed to catch Qiao Yu's tricks, using the rules of the palace to talk about things, and wanted to beat Qiao Yu.The other guard was the one who was with Lu Zhao. He treated Qiao Yu very soft-heartedly, but he had no authority and was weak-tempered. After persuading him for a long time, he changed the board to pumping the calf.

Qiao Yu didn't resist, and didn't dare, for fear that the medicine bag hidden on her body would be discovered, so she rolled up her trouser legs, trembling from the broken willow branch, and couldn't even stand up.

He didn't dare to see what his calf was like. It was not until he entered the Taiqing Palace that he finally couldn't hold on. He fell down, and his tears wet a small area in front of him.
