Hot search with cubs

Chapter 31 First Encounter

In the fifth year of Dayan 210, it was snowing heavily.

A thick layer of snow had accumulated in front of the gate of Qianyang Palace, and the palace attendant Sweeping Snow glanced into the palace from time to time, listening to the coughing inside and looking at each other in blank dismay.

A palace lady in pink walked into Qianyang Palace with a medicine cup in her hand. She lowered her head and put the medicine cup on the desk: "Your Majesty, it's time to take medicine."

"Put it down and go out." The person behind the case put down the vermilion pen to exchange for a memorial, and coughed twice.

The palace lady withdrew, only the sound of coughing remained in Qianyang Palace, and the eunuch standing next to him was silent. After a long time, seeing that the emperor still had no intention of taking the medicine, he boldly walked over and brought the medicine to the desk: "Your Majesty , the medicine is cold."

Feng Jinghuai frowned and threw the notebook on the desk: "These idiots are becoming more and more hopeless, the border is unstable, and evil spirits are everywhere in the country, they still have the heart to care about the king's marriage and concubine. .”

"Your Majesty, calm down. Your lords are also concerned about the Kingdom of Yan." Chu Yang opened the medicine cup and poured the medicine over, "The country must not be without heirs, and the Queen Mother is also worried all day long, hoping that the King will marry a virtuous queen." , to assist the king."

"This king dislikes the harem disputes the most, a group of women vying for beauty and vulgarity."

"It's okay to accept only one concubine. Choose one that the king likes, who is quiet, sober and refined."

Feng Jinghuai snorted and laughed: "This king sees you as sober and refined enough, why don't I accept you after playing Ming's mother?"

Chu Yang was neither humble nor overbearing, and he knelt down respectfully and said, "Your Majesty is joking."

"Hmph." Feng Jinghuai drank the medicine in one breath, got up and stretched his muscles and bones: "The snow scene is just right, I'm going to walk with this king, I'm so bored."

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, you'd better stay in the palace."

"It's suffocating to death. This king's body knows it himself. Just looking at the snow scene will not kill him."

"Yes."

The country of Yan is in the north. It snows heavily for several months in winter, and it doesn't melt until spring.

Wrapped in a heavy cloak, Feng Jinghuai walked from Qianyang Palace all the way to the Imperial Garden. When he arrived in the garden, he saw only a bleak garden, and the only few plum blossoms were still in bud.

"Too many people have died this year, even the plum blossoms are not in bloom." Feng Jinghuai stretched out his hand to flick off the snow on the plum branches: "Why do I always feel that there is a bloody smell in my mouth recently?"

"Maybe it's because of the new medicine, the king's health seems to have improved a lot in the past two days."

"My lord, this is a disease brought about by my mother's womb. No medicine can help it. It's just a matter of seeing it day by day."

Chu Yang lowered his head and stopped talking. Feng Jinghuai pulled on his cloak and continued walking. After walking for another quarter of an hour, he felt a little cold.I was about to go back, but I smelled a fragrance.

Further on is the Leng Palace. Feng Jinghuai remembered that in the year when he succeeded to the throne, some palace people said that a few plum blossoms grew in the Leng Palace at some point, and they bloomed every year.

"Go and see if the plum blossoms inside are in bloom." Feng Jinghuai greeted Chu Yang: "If they are in bloom, take a few back and put them in Qianyang Palace."

"Your Majesty..." Chu Yang wanted to stop him, but Feng Jinghuai had already moved forward on his own.

The cold palace has been unoccupied for many years, and it has been in disrepair for a long time. The paint on the door has long since fallen off, leaving only the mottled wood color.

Walking not far from the gate, the gate unexpectedly opened from the inside, and a court lady came out with a porcelain cup.

No one lives here, what is the maid doing here?

Seeing Feng Jinghuai, the court lady hurriedly knelt down: "I have seen you, Your Majesty."

"What are you doing here?"

The maid lowered her body: "Servant, servant..."

"Say!"

"The servant girl is ordered by the medical officer to get the medicine."

"Nonsense!" Feng Jinghuai yelled angrily, "What kind of medicine does Leng Gong have?"

The maid repeatedly explained: "The servants are indeed here under orders, the king will clearly check."

Feng Jinghuai felt strange, and walked over to uncover the porcelain cup in the maid's hand, a bloody smell wafted out of his nostrils, the cup was half filled with bright red blood.

No wonder the medicine I drank these days always smelled like blood.

Feng Jinghuai thought that the medical officer used human blood as medicine, so he kicked over the porcelain cup in front of him: "Bastard!"

Chu Yang followed behind. Seeing that Feng Jinghuai was so angry, he didn't persuade him. He turned around and ran quickly to Zhaoyang Palace.

There lived a medical officer for Feng Jinghuai's pulse for a long time.

Feng Jinghuai pushed open the door and stepped into the cold palace, saw the main hall faintly glowing with candlelight, and there were imperceptible cries, and walked straight over.

The cold palace was dark and humid, and in this snowy weather, it was so dark that it was impossible to see clearly, only a single candle illuminated a corner.

There was an iron cage, and a thin child was curled up in a corner of the iron cage, hugging his legs and whimpering softly.

Feng Jinghuai picked up the candlestick and approached, the child raised his face from his arms, a dry but delicate face and a pair of moist and innocent eyes came into Feng Jinghuai's eyes.

The child was covered with dirty clothes, his exposed face and neck were red from the cold, and there was an inch-long wound on his wrist, which was oozing blood.

Seeing Feng Jinghuai, he instinctively shrank back into the corner, his eyes full of fear.

Feng Jinghuai was furious and felt distressed, so he knelt down and said softly, "Don't be afraid, what's your name?"

"Baixu." The child's immature voice reached his ears, and Feng Jinghuai felt a pang of distress again.

For such a small child, those medical officials who are known as the benevolent doctors can keep him here?

Turning around to search around, Feng Jinghuai saw the key on a small case not far away, immediately put down the candlestick, opened the cage, and reached in: "Come, I'll take you away."

Bai Xu didn't understand anything. Since she could remember, all she could remember was darkness and hunting. At this moment, she seemed to see the light, and she stretched out her hand involuntarily, and what she met was a warm palm.

Feng Jinghuai pulled him out, bent down, picked up the guard, wrapped him in a cloak, and carried him out of the main hall.

Walking into the snow, Bai Xu buried her head in Feng Jinghuai's arms, wiping away her tears.

There were hurried footsteps outside, and three medical officers hurried over, seeing the person in Feng Jinghuai's arms, they immediately fell to their knees in fright: "Your Majesty, that's not an ordinary child, Your Majesty, put him down quickly!" , so as not to get hurt."

Feng Jinghuai was taken aback for a moment, then felt the arms around his neck tightened and trembled slightly.

"I'm not a bad person." Bai Xu whispered, "No."

Feng Jinghuai's heart was shocked, he hugged him and continued to walk out: "If you have something to say, go to the study."

A group of people tremblingly followed Feng Jinghuai back to Qianyang Palace, their faces turned pale along the way, fearing that things might change in the next second.

Feng Jinghuai put the man on the bed, and told Chu Yang, "Find some clothes for him to change into, and bring a brazier."

"Yes." Chu Yang withdrew in response.

The leading medical officer knelt on the ground, took a breath and said, "Forgive me, Your Majesty. This child is just caught by the demon catcher. He is not an ordinary person."

"Ok?"

Wei Xun raised his head and glanced at the child on the soft couch with an innocent face: "He looks harmless, but he is a half-demon who killed several demon catchers."

"Half-demon?" Feng Jinghuai frowned: "There are monsters in this world, so what about half-demons?"

"A half-demon is born of a demon and a human, and has magical powers. I read in an ancient book that the blood of a demon and a human is mixed together as a medicine, which can cure hemoptysis. I just heard that a half-demon appeared in Fuzhou from the Demon Catch Bureau." , so I asked them to catch him and treat the king's illness."

Originally thought it was a human being, Feng Jinghuai couldn't bear it, but now that he heard that he was a half-demon, his heart suddenly became complicated.

Demons have plagued the world for many years, and the world has hated them, but now their king has saved a half-demon.

"I'll treat you!" Bai Xu jumped off the bed, ran to Feng Jinghuai's side and hugged his leg: "I'm not afraid of pain, so don't lock me up."

Feng Jinghuai looked at those watery eyes, but couldn't bear to push them away.

If he was pushed away, he would probably be put back into the cage and continue to curl up in a dark corner and whimper.

This is just a child, a seemingly harmless child.

"You guys get out first." Feng Jinghuai waved his hands: "I have something to ask him."

The kneeling medical officers looked at each other for a long time, then stood up after a while and exited Qianyang Palace.

Feng Jinghuai bent down and picked up the child who was just up to his waist and put it back on his back, and sat down beside him: "Did you kill a lot of demon catchers?"

"They want to kill me." Bai Xu pouted, "Everyone wants to kill me."

"You are a demon. The demon clan harms the common people and creates chaos everywhere. Is it wrong for the demon master to kill you?"

"I haven't done anything bad." Bai Xu lowered her head and rubbed the corners of her tattered clothes: "Many monsters are hiding in the mountains, and they haven't done anything bad, but they were also killed."

Feng Jinghuai was stunned, it was the first time I heard that demons do not do bad things.

"Don't kill me. They say my blood can cure diseases. I bleed every day to cure your diseases. Don't kill me, okay?"

Bai Xu felt from the bottom of her heart that this person could save herself, he could prevent herself from returning to that dark cage.

Feng Jinghuai couldn't refuse the voice of grievance. He held up his hand to look at his wound, and the wound had healed.

He didn't know how many times his blood was taken these days, and how many times his wound healed.

Feng Jinghuai raised his hand to touch the top of his head: "Okay, I won't kill you, but you must be obedient and not do bad things."

"Well, I'm very obedient. I used to live in the mountains, and my mother-in-law said I was the most obedient."

Feng Jinghuai smiled, took a thin quilt and put it on him, and called the people outside: "Come in."

Chu Yang took the lead in pushing the door open, holding clothes in his hands, followed by three medical officers.

"Take him to take a shower and change clothes, let him stay in Lingyin Hall first."

Chu Yang paused for a moment, then walked over and took Bai Xu's hand to lead him away.Bai Xu turned her head three times, looking at Feng Jinghuai very reluctantly.

"Go ahead, take a shower and eat something."

Bai Xu followed and left, Feng Jinghuai walked to the desk and sat down, said in a deep voice, "Don't you think it's too much for a child to take someone else's blood and keep him in a cage?"

"Your Majesty, don't feel sorry for a half-demon. Although it is a child, it is still a monster who kills without batting an eye."

"Okay, a child, just find a few more guards to watch over it, there is no need to put it in a cage."

When Feng Jinghuai spoke, the medical officer didn't dare to say anything, he agreed to everything.

Chu Yang sent the man to the Lingyin Hall to hand over to the little eunuch, and when he returned, Feng Jinghuai was writing the memorial again, coughing continuously.

"Your Majesty, do you really want to keep that half-demon?"

Feng Jinghuai hummed: "Perhaps it's because of good luck. Since he didn't do anything bad, why kill him? I don't know when I will recover from this disease. Since I want his blood, it's not easy to lock me up and freeze to death." .”

Chu Yang thought about it, "Then I will transfer some guards to the Lingyin Palace. The Lingyin Palace and Zhengyang Palace are only separated by a wall, so it's not very safe. Why don't you arrange him in the Hexu Palace, which is farther away?"

"No, just the Lingyin Palace."

The Lingyin Hall is next to his bedroom, just to see if the child has done nothing wrong as he said.
