teardrops

Kaifeng City.

Although the emperor had Bao Zheng and Shi Kong by his side at all times, his mind was clear.However, he still had intermittent fever and headaches, and trouble sleeping and eating.Besides, it is not a long-term solution to keep the two of them in the palace.Prime Minister Wang, the Eighth Prince and others were anxious, but they still had nothing to do.

However, there were a lot of troubles in the Kaifeng Mansion. Hou Qingzhi, the provincial admonishment doctor who temporarily took the post of Bao Zheng, was originally a civil servant in name only, but the Kaifeng Mansion Governor was an extremely difficult position. The prince and minister concurrently.It has always been difficult to be an official in the capital, and the relatives of the emperor and the country have gathered here to bully others, which is unreasonable.During Bao Zheng's tenure as the magistrate of Kaifeng, no matter how many tedious matters he handled, he handled them in an orderly manner.

When Hou Qingzhi temporarily took over Bao Zheng's post, he was able to deal with some thieves.But every time he encountered a criminal with some background, he would be timid and dare not deal with it according to the law. Often the powerful would come to talk about it, and then they would do things for personal gain, and it was useless for Gongsun Ce to persuade him from the sidelines.This made everyone in Kaifeng Mansion feel resentful.

Wang Cheng was worried every day, and he was busy with official duties, so he was dizzy and dizzy.In the evening of this day, he took only two followers with him, put on civilian clothes, and walked around the streets of Bianliang to relax.

After leaving the prime minister's mansion, the street is already lit up with lights.Pedestrians are still in an endless stream. Walking to the bank of the Bian River, you can see the Qintai attic, carved beams and painted buildings, singing and singing everywhere.

The breeze blows, gently brushing people's faces.The prime minister felt that the boredom in his heart was relieved, and he walked slowly in the dimly lit place, looking at all living beings, and sighed for a while: the community is the most important, and for the blessing of the common people, it is worthwhile to do anything.

There was a cry in the distance.

Prime Minister Wang frowned, and stepped forward with his entourage.When I got to the front, it turned out that an old woman was walking by the river with her young grandson. The naughty child was playing around, and was accidentally bumped by a young man in brocade clothes riding a tall horse on the side of the road.The child's head was trampled by a horse's hoof, and the seven orifices bled, and he was dead.The old woman was crying, but the man on the horse didn't care, and went on his own way, as if nothing happened.There were several people accompanying him, all of them were vicious, even though they sympathized with the old woman, the bystanders did not dare to provoke the man in brocade.

Prime Minister Wang was furious for a while, and shouted at the man: "Who is at the feet of the majestic emperor, who is so rampant!" gallop away.One of the leaders of the Jinyi people walked up to Prime Minister Wang arrogantly, and shouted at Prime Minister Wang: "What a troublesome old guy, how dare you meddle in my son's affairs, don't you think it's too long!" After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves Stepping forward, the prime minister's entourage hurriedly stepped forward to block, the opponent waved his hand, and the rest of them rushed forward and fought violently.The prime minister's entourage was quickly lost and was knocked to the ground.The leader said proudly again: "Old man, my master is Mr. Huang, the servant of the household department. You, an old coffin, can't afford to mess with you. Today, I don't care about you, remember to meddle in my own business in the future!" said Let go and turn around.

Prime Minister Wang was trembling with anger, Huang Gan, the servant of the household department, usually seemed to know the etiquette, but he did not expect to indulge his family members so much in private.Right now, there was nothing he could do, he could only watch that Young Master Huang leave.

"Wait!" At this moment, there was a clear voice from the side of the road.A blue figure flitted out like an arrow, and in an instant, it landed in front of the Huang Gongzi's horse. When he pulled the rein, the horse stopped.I saw the man with handsome eyebrows, tall and tall, with a long sword on his waist.With a sound of righteousness, just standing upright gives people a sense of oppression,

Prime Minister Wang saw that person from a distance, and couldn't help but whispered in his heart: "Guard Zhan!"

That person was Zhan Zhao.It turned out that he and Rui'er were afraid that the people in the city would be distracted, so they asked Yuan Ji to send them outside the city of Kaifeng, and then walked to the city in the dark, so that others would not see the two descending from the sky and think it was a god descending.After arriving in the city, Rui'er sensed that the Dragon Ball was actually in the center of the city, that is, in the Ouchi Imperial Palace!The two of them were going to enter the palace to have a look, but unexpectedly encountered such a scene by the Bian River.

When Mr. Huang saw that Zhan Zhao dared to stand in front of his horse, he raised the whip and whipped it at Zhan Zhao, but seeing that Zhan Zhao had already held the whip in his hand, Mr. Huang was startled and tried to pull it back. Can move!Zhan Zhao took advantage of the situation to pull the whip, and Mr. Huang was pulled off the horse with a plop, his teeth bared and his mouth cracked.Young Master Huang's followers saw that their master had suffered a disadvantage, they rushed forward and rushed towards Zhan Zhao, and everyone around him sweated for him.

Zhan Zhao took down the sword, but did not pull it out, and swung it with the scabbard attached.But there were several puffing sounds, and the group of people were knocked down on the ground, and everyone couldn't bear it.Zhan Zhao quickly walked up to Mr. Huang and picked him up, but Mr. Huang was still yelling, "Who are you, the one who dares to hurt me!"

"It doesn't matter who you are, how dare you gallop your horse on the road and hurt people, and you still want to leave, follow me to Kaifeng Mansion, and listen to Master Bao." Zhan Zhao said in a deep voice.

Ruier, who was covering her face with a light veil, walked to the crying old woman and picked up the child. The child was breathing weakly. Ruier quickly opened her eyelids to look at the pupils, and found that the pupils had dilated.Putting his wrist on his wrist again, he felt the child's brain injury was serious, so he put his hand into the kit, took out his last Chu Shen Dan, and fed it to his mouth.After only staying for a while, the child gradually woke up, still in shock, and began to cry.The old woman thought the child was hopeless, but she was saved again. She was so grateful and thanked her repeatedly.Rui'er waved her hand, and said softly: "Ma'am, take the child home and rest for two days, and it will be fine." After speaking, she got up and walked quickly to Zhan Zhao's side.

Zhan Zhao turned his head and said to Ruier: "This person is so domineering, Zhan must take him back to Kaifeng Mansion and ask Master Bao to let him down." Nodding, the two were ready to leave.

"Guard Zhan, please stay!" A familiar voice came from the crowd behind.Zhan Zhao turned his head, recognized the person, and hurriedly saluted: "It's Prime Minister Wang! Zhan Zhao has met the Prime Minister!" Prime Minister Wang was surprised and delighted. He didn't expect that Zhan Zhao, who had been inquiring for many days, would meet him here, and hurriedly replied: " Zhan guards are exempt from courtesy." Looking at Rui'er again, "Is this girl Qin Rui?" Zhan Zhao hesitated for a moment, then replied, "That's right." Prime Minister Wang hurriedly said, "Both of you don't need to go to Kaifeng now. The old man has a very urgent matter, and I have to bother Miss Qin, I hope the girl will go with the old man." The two couldn't help being puzzled when they heard this, and Zhan Zhao asked, "I don't know what is the prime minister's business? Why do you want Miss Qin Rui?" Let's go together, can you tell Zhan Zhao?" Prime Minister Wang ordered his entourage to take Mr. Huang to the Kaifeng mansion and hand over to Hou Qingzhi to deal with it seriously, not to play favoritism, while beckoning the two of them to follow him back to the prime minister's mansion.That Mr. Huang learned that the one his subordinates offended just now was actually the prime minister of the court, and his face was pale with fright.

Rui'er looked at Zhan Zhao with questioning eyes, Zhan Zhao said to her in a low voice: "The Prime Minister is upright, generous and conscientious. If he asks for something, he must have something important. It may not be convenient for us to talk about it in detail, so return to him." The government should do the same." Hearing this, Rui'er said nothing, and left with Prime Minister Wang.

The two followed Prime Minister Wang back to the prime minister's mansion, and followed the prime minister directly into the study.Prime Minister Wang dismissed his subordinates again, and then informed the two of the emperor's illness and Bao Zheng Shikong's medical treatment for the emperor.

Halfway through hearing it, Rui'er understood in her heart that Feng Yi actually hid his dragon ball in the emperor's body!Of course, the body of a mortal cannot bear the power of the dragon, but how he did it is still not completely clear.

After the narration, Prime Minister Wang looked at Rui'er: "Miss Qin, I heard that you have excellent medical skills, Master Bao strongly recommended you to the Eighth Prince and the old man to treat the emperor's illness." Rui'er replied: "My lord, the little girl has little talent and learning. Qian, relying on a little family medical skills, I am afraid that I will bear the great trust of the prime minister." Prime Minister Wang said hastily: "Since it is recommended by Mr. Bao, I believe in his vision. Besides, the emperor's condition is related to the safety of the people of the world. I hope that the girl will not refuse."

Rui'er secretly smiled wryly, and thought: Even if you don't ask me to go, I will sneak into the palace to find the Dragon Ball, but now it just happens to happen.She raised her head to look at Zhan Zhao, but just met his clear eyes and looked at herself. The two of them looked at each other, and they both knew that the other had the same heart.Rui'er then replied: "Since that's the case, the little girl will try her best. But as a doctor, he pays attention to the relationship between the doctor and the patient, but he doesn't know if the emperor has a medical relationship with the little girl. Don't blame me, my lord." Thinking in my heart, the situation here is unclear, and I don't know whether the dragon ball can be taken out smoothly, so I can only respond first.

When Prime Minister Wang saw her answering, he felt happy in his heart, and hurriedly agreed, saying: "Since it's agreed, it's not too late, I will go to the palace to report to the emperor, and send the girl to the palace to treat her illness!"

Before she finished speaking, Rui'er felt that the foreground of her eyes was gradually blurred, her body softened, and she even fainted on the ground!Both Prime Minister Wang and Zhan Zhao were shocked, Zhan Zhao hurriedly stepped forward, picked her up, and even called her a few times, but she didn't respond.But seeing Rui'er's complexion was blood red and his breathing quickened again, he knew that the power of the fire dragon had flared up again.When Prime Minister Wang saw this, he summoned the government doctor repeatedly. Zhan Zhao knew something was wrong, but he had no excuse to stop him, and he was very anxious for a while.Fortunately, after a while, before the government doctor arrived, Rui'er slowly opened his eyes again, and said softly to Prime Minister Wang: "Your Excellency, don't bother, this is a little girl's old illness, just take a rest for a while and it will be fine."

Prime Minister Wang saw that Rui'er's voice was still weak, but seeing her speaking firmly, he felt at ease, and said: "If the girl is not feeling well, you can rest in the old man's house for one night and treat the emperor tomorrow, how about?" Rui'er He said: "It's all right, my lord is ready to leave." Prime Minister Wang was always concerned about the emperor's illness, seeing what she said, he asked, "Is there nothing serious about the girl?" Rui'er nodded and stood up slowly.

Prime Minister Wang had no doubts in his mind, so he said to the two of them: "In this case, the old man will enter the palace to face the saint, and the guards, and Miss Qin will wait here." Then he called his servants and left together.

Zhan Zhao still couldn't let go, so he helped her to sit on a chair, and asked Rui'er, "Does it matter?" Rui'er smiled slightly, and said, "Young master, don't worry." But her pretty face was still flushed, breathing Still hasty.Zhan Zhao stared at her for a long time, then slowly said: "Ruier...why are you so harsh on yourself?"

Rui'er lowered her eyes, candlelight cast from her thick eyelashes, two long shadows covered her face, and after a while, she said: "Young Master, my brother is still in the hands of the evil dragon. If I can If we recover the Dragon Ball sooner, we can rescue him sooner. If it is too late, he has something to do..."

Zhan Zhao secretly sighed, feeling pity in his heart, and stopped talking.

At this time, two servant girls came in and served tea to them.He stood on the side with his hands down.Rui'er didn't speak anymore, the two just waited silently.

After passing the three pillars of incense, a small yellow gate hurried in, met the two, saluted, and said solemnly: "By the order of the Eighth Prince, Qin Rui will immediately enter the palace with the guards!" A gesture of please.

The two followed him out.

Zichen Palace.

Bao Zheng, Shi Kong, the Eighth Prince and others have been serving for days, and the emperor's condition is still stable.But today, Prime Minister Wang hastily entered the palace to have an audience, and informed everyone that Zhan Zhao was back and brought Qin Rui back, and the Eighth Prince urgently asked people to come in.

Rui'er entered with the palace supervisor, entered from Duolou of Danfeng Gate, and then from Qianbu Corridor of Imperial Street to Zichen Hall.But it can be seen that some of the main palace halls of the Song Dynasty are in the form of I-shaped halls. Although the overall scale is not as grand as the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was expanded according to the style of the Tang Dynasty in Xijing, so the group layout is both regular and flexible. How frugal, so the palace is not luxurious and rich.Although she didn't care about the affairs of the emperor in the world, she also knew that Xixia and Liao were eyeing Song Dynasty covetously.However, under Zhao's rule, there was no government, and the people of the world still lived and worked in peace and contentment.She couldn't help but feel a sense of worry in her heart, could she successfully retrieve the dragon ball and rescue the emperor brother?

As soon as he could see the majestic Zichen Palace, a faint sound of dragon chant came from the main hall, and Rui'er felt the power of his dragon balls interact with him from afar, arousing his qi and blood to churn.Originally, the power of the fire dragon in his body was already in balance with his own power, but his own blood was surging, and the power of the fire dragon was also running rapidly. Now he couldn't control it anymore, and a big mouthful of blood spewed out with a wow.Seeing her suddenly vomit blood, Zhan Zhao was startled and anxious, and hurriedly helped her up.The palace supervisor was also at a loss, Rui'er took a breather, the breath slowly subsided, she took a breath, gasped for a while, then stood up on her own, and said: "It's okay, please go. "The little palace supervisor was taken aback for a moment, then continued to lead the two of them forward.Zhan Zhao knew that he had no choice but to look at her worriedly and move on.

In the main hall, everyone heard the sound of the dragon chant, but the originally calm and sober emperor suddenly yelled and fell to the ground, his hands and feet still twitching slightly.Ever since Bao Zheng and Shi Kong accompanied him, the emperor had never been sick like this again. Everyone was shocked. The Eighth Prince and others stepped forward and helped the emperor to the couch, only to find that his whole body had a high fever again, and it was hot to the touch. .The Eighth Prince looked at Shi Kong inquiringly, Shi Kong kept chanting sutras, the emperor's convulsions gradually stopped, but he was still unconscious.In fact, the emperor's situation is exactly the same as that of Rui'er, both external forces and their own forces are contending.Although the power of Rui'er Dragon Ball is huge, but as a divine dragon, she has a peaceful and kind nature, so this power is not overbearing in the emperor's body.Bao Zheng was born as the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing, and he was upright and upright, so he had the effect of restraining the power of the dragon.And Shikong can also partially control the power of the godless dragon with Buddhist mantras and handprints, so when the two are together, the emperor's situation is stable.At this time, the dragon ball sensed the arrival of its master, and its strength increased dramatically, and the emperor's mortal body could no longer bear it.

A moment later, Zhan Zhao and the others had already arrived outside the hall.The little palace supervisor informed them to enter, and the Eighth Prince hurriedly announced the two to enter.As soon as Zhan Zhao entered, he saw Bao Zheng in casual clothes standing by his side.Bao Zheng also looked back, although the two of them didn't speak, they both let go of their worries for each other.

When Rui'er entered, everyone's eyes were attracted to her.I saw that she was wearing a blue shirt, the style was simple, a little out of fashion, but I couldn't tell what material it was made of.From top to bottom, without any special accessories, an air of elegance and nobility is compelling.Elegant and gentle, it is really "the fairy train is about to move, if it is flying, if it is flying, it is like a spring flower, the clouds are piled up in a green bun, the crescent eyebrows are beautiful, the words are intentional, the lips are full of cherry blossoms, the silver teeth are fragrant, and the waist is delicate." , return to the wind and dance the snow".Everyone felt in their hearts that there are such beauties in the world, even if Luoshen is reborn.Although Bao Zheng and Wang Chengxiang had seen Ruier, she was also wearing a veil at the time, so she couldn't see the real thing, and she was also secretly shocked at the moment.
