"When will Mr. Jiang, ahem, owe me something?" Jiang Zhao covered his lips.

Jiang Fengjing didn't say anything else, just took out a small porcelain bottle from the sleeve and handed it over, "Your Majesty, try this pill, maybe it will be effective."

There was a bitter smile on his lips.

Yao Shun poured out a brown and reddish pill from it. Jiang Zhao picked it up, glanced at Jiang Fengjing, and put the pill in his mouth.

The medicine is bitter, but it also has a faint smell of rust, even a little fishy.

Jiang Zhao was too familiar with this taste, he looked up at Jiang Fengjing in shock, his eyes were full of complexity and disbelief.

"you……"

Facing those shocked eyes, Jiang Fengjing pursed his lips tightly, unwilling to say anything else, fearing that he would ask, so he turned around and left.

He ran all the way back to the specially set up pharmacy, closed the door and took a deep breath.

The sleeves were rolled up, revealing the wrist wrapped with a white cotton towel, and bright red blood oozes from the white cotton towel. Jiang Fengjing gently untied the cloth towel, revealing a two-finger-wide wound inside.

The wound was bleeding, he took a breath and took out the golden sore medicine powder and poured it on.

The excruciating pain made him grit his teeth and close his eyes.

This is a prescription he found from his father's handbook, which briefly explained the principle of the antidote. This poison is overbearing and requires blood as a medicine.

He can only try.

When Jiang Zhao came back to his senses, Jiang Fengjing had disappeared.

He opened his lips and looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand with complicated emotions.

Why is Jiang Fengjing like this? It doesn't have to be like this at all.

He was so emaciated in order to save him, the smell of blood in the medicine, and his pale face were enough to show that he had used his own blood.

Jiang Zhao didn't understand, but the feeling in his heart at the moment was also very strange to him.

No one has ever done this for him, paid so much for him.

Jiang Zhao thought, he should thank Mr. Jiang well.

Three days later, Jiang Zhao was finally able to get up with support. He was wearing bright yellow winter clothes and wrapped in a pure white fur cape, and directed Yao Xi to help him to the yard.

There was a snowfall last night, and it was white to the eye, with red walls, black tiles and white snow.

There was a floor in the courtyard, Jiang Zhao was about to step in, but was stopped by Yao Xi, "Don't go, Your Majesty, it's cold in the snow, you just got out of bed."

Seeing that he was so nervous, Jiang Zhao didn't insist anymore, just stood on the porch and looked at the icicles on the tree.

After a while, he asked, "Where's the regent? I haven't seen him for two days."

In the past, Xiao would go to the room to accompany him every day, but he was not used to seeing him these two days, and besides, they still had an agreement.

The weather is clear and it is a good day to watch the sunrise.

"The Prince Regent went to inspect the military camp." A somewhat resentful voice came from behind, "I haven't seen you for two days, the Emperor misses the Prince Regent so much, why don't you ask your ministers?"

Jiang Zhao turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Yu Wenxu standing a few steps away, looking at him with complaints in his eyes.

He actually felt that Yu Wenxu was fighting for favor.

Jiang Zhao clenched his fist against his lips and coughed lightly. Yu Wenxu walked quickly to his side, frowned and said, "How on earth is Jiang Fengjing treating the disease? The promises he made are now useless."

"Don't say that." Jiang Zhao looked at Yu Wenxu seriously, "Don't talk nonsense if Master Yuwen doesn't know, Master Jiang has done his best, even... In short, Master Yuwen can't slander others for no reason."

"I slander Jiang Fengjing?" Yu Wenxu seemed to have heard some joke, and raised his voice, "In the emperor's heart, they are all right, yes, only me, you don't like me. Do you know what Jiang Fengjing is like?" hiding something from you."

"When do I..."

Before Jiang Zhao finished speaking, someone rushed over suddenly and shouted, "Your Majesty, Mr. Shoufu, it's not good. Many people came outside and blocked the road to the palace, blocking the door and shouting."

"What are you shouting for?" Jiang Zhao asked.

Yu Wenxu's face had changed, and the palace man shivered and replied: "If you tell the emperor to let Jiang Zhou go, let him, let him go..."

Before finishing speaking, Yu Wenxu interrupted, "Enough, let the emperor go back to rest first."

Jiang Zhao didn't move, and asked Yu Wenxu, "Is the person here from the Xu family or the people behind Jiang Zhou?"

Jiang Zhao had a calm face, which didn't seem strange but made Yu Wenxu a little flustered, but it was only for a moment before he compromised.

"It seems that the emperor was not deceived. The person who came here should be the person behind Jiang Zhou. I released Shang Quan and made him mistakenly think that he was released by his own people. He will definitely tell the person behind Jiang Zhou. Don't worry, I'm fully prepared and you'll be fine."

Jiang Zhao didn't care at all, instead he asked, "Jiang Zhou is in the palace?"

"Yes, otherwise how can we lure people out." Yu Wenxu said.

Jiang Zhao nodded.

Yu Wenxu said: "Your Majesty, go and rest, and you'll be fine once you wake up."

"Let's go and have a look, I haven't seen this kind of scene before." Jiang Zhao said.

"Your Majesty." Yu Wenxu disapproved, "If there is an emergency..."

Jiang Zhao smiled and said, "What else can happen with my body? If my guess is correct, is the poison on my body also poisoned by them? How can I be reconciled if I don't go and see."

Seeing Jiang Zhao who was walking away first, Yu Wenxu took a breath, and then followed with a cold face.

With him here, nothing will happen to him.

Before going out to the door, I heard shouts from outside: "Jiang Zhao, let Jiang Zhou go, he is the rightful heir of the late emperor, he is the orthodox prince, you are treasonous."

Yu Wenxu stood beside Jiang Zhao, in the posture of a protector. With a wave of his arm, the door opened, and two teams of 20 guards rushed out to block them.

Jiang Zhao went out and saw Shang Quan standing next to a middle-aged man covered in injuries, who was the one who had just shouted.

Standing beside him were a few people in fine clothes, which Jiang Zhao had never seen before.

Seeing Jiang Zhao and Yu Wenxu coming out, the middle-aged man took a step forward. He had an imposing manner, but also a very familiar temperament.

"The emperor imprisoned the prince Jiang Zhou, which is a blood relationship, which violates the royal family's ancestral precepts. I also ask the emperor to let Jiang Zhou go."

Jiang Zhao looked at him strangely, "Who are you?"

Yu Wenxu said coldly beside him: "Doctor Jiang, it's actually you. I remember that you've been 'dead' a long time ago, and now you appear here and ask the emperor to release Jiang Zhou. What exactly is your intention?"

"Doctor Jiang." Jiang Zhao murmured, suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, "Could it be that you are..."

"Father!"

Jiang Fengjing ran out from inside with a complicated expression, looking at the middle-aged man with a trace of hatred.

really.

Jiang Zhao felt that this person looked very familiar, and he turned out to be Jiang Fengjing's father.

"Master Jiang, what's going on?" Jiang Zhao asked.

Jiang Fengjing's face was full of bitterness, and he opened his mouth, unable to speak.

Jiang's father, however, had a relaxed posture and a calm face. He stroked his beard and said, "There is no need to hide the matter from the emperor. The poison on the emperor's body has already penetrated into the internal organs. If there is no antidote, he will be helpless and will not survive much." Day. If the emperor releases Jiang Zhou now and immediately decrees to make way for Jiang Zhou, I will immediately give you the antidote and promise to save your life."

Jiang Zhao looked at Jiang Fengjing, "Master Jiang already knew that your father did this poison?"

Jiang Fengjing shook his head, his eyes flashed, "No, it's not the emperor, I only found out it was him a few days ago."

"sorry."

Jiang Zhao nodded, that made sense, but there was still one thing he didn't understand.

"May I ask what is the relationship between you and Jiang Zhou? According to Master Yuwen, you are the imperial physician trusted by the late emperor, but you faked your death to raise the prince who raised Concubine Xu. You must have directed and acted what was left behind. Mr. Shangquan is in the palace. The purpose is to let Jiang Zhou return to the palace to inherit the throne. In order to ensure that I can give up the throne, knowing that I will not live long, I will poison Jiang Zhou to ensure that I will not hinder Jiang Zhou."

"If you say there is no reason, I don't believe it."

Jiang Fengjing and Yu Wenxu's faces were so dark that water dripped out. They already knew that Jiang Zhou had the Xu family and Shangquan behind him, but they never expected Jiang's father.

Even in these years, Jiang's father has also learned the news from Baixiao Pavilion. If Yu Wenxu and Xiao Congxuan had not had iron and blood wrists, they would have taken action long ago.

Father Jiang's face changed, and he became cold, "This has nothing to do with you."

This is what it means not to speak.

Jiang Zhaoyang said with his lips: "If you don't talk about the matter until now, then I will kill Jiang Zhou and pull him on his back, so that I won't go down alone and be lonely."

"You are not afraid of death!" Father Jiang said coldly.

"I'm afraid." Jiang Zhao coughed as he spoke, "But what's the use of being afraid, even if you give me the antidote, I'll give way to a commoner at that time, so I won't let you kill me if you say so, right? ?”

His voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, but needles could be heard all around, and everyone heard it.

Father Jiang didn't expect their plan to be revealed so easily by him, and he was stunned for a moment.

But he heard him say: "Why don't I kill Jiang Zhou first, and then kill you, the antidote will naturally come to me."

"Come here, bring Jiang Zhou out."

Father Jiang was startled, and immediately said, "Here is the antidote!"

"Your Majesty, everything is negotiable. In this way, if you release Jiang Zhou, I will give you the antidote immediately."

"It seems that Jiang Zhou is very important." Jiang Zhao still laughed. He pinched the pill on his collar, made up his mind, and looked at Jiang Zhou who was brought up.

His eyes turned around on the faces of Father Jiang, Jiang Fengjing and Jiang Zhou, and then he smiled lowly.

"Jiang Zhou is here."

"The antidote is here!"

"Don't worry." Jiang Zhao said, "Let me guess, you are so nervous about Jiang Zhou, but Jiang Zhou is Concubine Xu's son, this is confirmed by Eunuch Shang, maybe you have arranged it long ago, Jiang Zhou is right in front of your eyes Doctor Jiang was on duty in the palace in his early years, so he must have known Concubine Xu, and perhaps had an unusual friendship, protecting Concubine Xu's prince, so it makes sense. But the problem is, Jiang Zhou was born not long ago Even if it is left outside, it must be someone to hide from, in the palace, only the emperor needs to hide."

"Why did Concubine Xu hide? As a concubine at the beginning, the emperor loved her, but with the prince by her side, she would only get promoted step by step, and she even deliberately designed to avoid the emperor."

As Jiang Zhao said every sentence, the faces of Jiang's father and his party changed again and again, cold sweat dripped from their foreheads, and Jiang's father moved his fingers.

Jiang Fengjing's face was heavy, he had already thought of something, and Yu Wenxu looked at him thoughtfully.

Jiang Zhao continued: "There is only one possibility. The prince is not the prince. Concubine Xu is afraid of being exposed, so she can only design for the palace servants to take Jiang Zhou out of the palace and pretend that she is missing. But Concubine Xu is in the harem, so this child... ..."

He dragged out his voice, appreciating the different expressions of a group of people, and said slowly: "It can't be the eunuch's. Speaking of which, the first time I saw Jiang Zhou, I felt that I was somewhat similar to Mr. Jiang. Now I see Jiang Zhou. Imperial Physician Jiang, everything is clear, Jiang Zhou must be the child of Imperial Concubine Xu and Imperial Physician Jiang."

"Physician Jiang feigned death just to train Jiang Zhou in the dark. It doesn't matter who inherits the throne. As long as the emperor poisons the emperor, Jiang Zhou will definitely inherit the throne. He has Concubine Xu's ink jade as a token in his hand. No one doesn't believe it."

As soon as these words came out, it was as if a bomb had dropped, causing everyone's eyes to widen on the spot.

Jiang's father never expected that Jiang Zhao would tell the truth in just a few words, and they had concealed the truth for 20 years.

Jiang Fengjing took a few steps back in disbelief, almost unable to stand still.

No no no, how could this happen.He doesn't believe it.

Yu Wenxu looked sideways at Jiang Zhao, attracted by his appearance just now, but heartbroken.

"Physician Jiang, Jiang Zhou can be let go, you bring the antidote first."

Jiang's father was still in shock, and even Jiang Zhou was stunned. He never expected that Jiang Zhao would know.

Exactly.

Father Jiang came back to his senses and raised the porcelain bottle in his hand, "The antidote is here, you release Zhou'er first."

Yu Wenxu sneered, "You take the antidote first, I will release Jiang Zhou immediately, I, Yu Wenxu, keep my word, if I don't take it, I will hurt Jiang Zhou first, you are all healers, you can't die .”

Yu Wenxu's ruthlessness is well known, and no one dared to be careless looking at the sharp dagger he took out.

Father Jiang took a deep breath, and passed the antidote forward, "Here, this is the antidote."

He took a few steps forward, intending to send it over in person.

When he approached and was three steps away, he stopped, and his eyes passed Jiang Fengjing without a single pause, and then fell on Jiang Zhou.

He handed out the medicine bottle with his left hand, "The antidote."

Yu Wenxu caught it.

The right hand seemed to be going to grab Jiang Zhou who was on the side, but suddenly sprinkled a handful of powder on Jiang Zhao.

"Jiang Zhao!" Yu Wenxu's expression changed suddenly, and he pulled Jiang Zhao into his arms to block most of the powder, "Catch them for me, and don't let any of them go."

Jiang's father pulled Jiang Zhou forward, and a guard behind him slashed at him with a knife. He pushed Jiang Zhou forward, "Hurry up."

Jiang Zhou froze for a moment, and saw that the knife was blocked by his arm, blood gushed out instantly, and then the knife penetrated into his body.

Eunuch Shang stepped forward to protect him and shouted, "Your Highness, go quickly."

There were shouts of killing all around, and a large number of soldiers rushed up from the bottom of the mountain, all of them were good players in the army.

Jiang Zhou and his party were caught in the urn and attacked back and forth.

He looked around in a daze, and saw Jiang Zhao lying in Yu Wenxu's arms, and Jiang Fengjing stepped forward to check anxiously.

Did they do something wrong? Why did they have to take the throne?

"Jiang Fengjing, hurry up, look at the emperor!" Yu Wenxu knelt down on the ground, hugging Jiang Zhao, his face was panicked like never before, and his voice was trembling.

Jiang Zhao was still awake, with a very uncomfortable smell on the tip of his nose, "I'm fine, Yu Wenxu, don't panic."

His voice visibly weakened.

Yu Wenxu looked down at him, his voice was terrified, but his hands were trembling, "Jiang Zhao, hold on, you will be fine. When you recover, I will return the court to you, okay. I know You blame me, I promise, as long as you get better, from now on, I will listen to you in everything. "

Jiang Zhao's face was pale, the blood on his lips faded rapidly, and there was still a smile on the corner of his lips, "Maybe once again, but now I don't blame you or hate you."

He should be happy, but at this moment Yu Wenxu felt as if he couldn't breathe, his eyes were also astringent, and his throat was also astringent.

Nothing can be said.

"Jiang Fengjing..." Yu Wenxu looked at Jiang Fengjing expectantly, all his hopes rested on him.

Jiang Fengjing was trembling all over, holding Jiang Zhao's pulse, his face was whiter than Jiang Zhao's.

He looked up at Yu Wenxu, his eyes were red, and he shook his head, "The poison has been drawn out."

"The antidote!" Yu Wenxu suddenly yelled, "The antidote your father gave you!"

Jiang Fengjing choked with sobs, "There is no antidote to this poison at all. I have read hundreds of books, no, no, no..."

"Save him! Who can come and save him?"

The shouts of killing all around seemed to be unable to attract their attention. Eunuch Shang fell to the ground covered in blood, and Jiang Zhou had nowhere to escape. He was covered in injuries.

Jiang Zhao watched the snow fall in pieces, and asked softly, "Why hasn't Xiao Congwang come here?"

Yao Xi was crying beside him.

The moment he closed his eyes, Jiang Zhao saw Xiao Congwang's panicked face, and then he closed his eyes with a smile.

Xiao Congwang walked up the mountain step by step, and there was heavy snow in the sky, as if he was the only one in the ice and snow.

With Jiang Zhao on his back, he walked very steadily step by step, stopping from time to time to pull the fox fur for him.

Seeing the moment Jiang Zhao closed his eyes, Xiao Congwang felt his heartbeat stopped, and his knees softened and he knelt beside Jiang Zhao.

He dropped the knife in his hand, took Jiang Zhao from the dazed and collapsed Yu Wenxu, hugged him and said softly, "I'll take you to see the sunrise."

Xiao Congwang looked at his smile, and remembered the agreement between them. When he was looking for the antidote, he sent someone to ask Master Wuhui, and the master gave him a word.

"Death and then life."

With a person on his back, Xiao Congxuan walked with difficulty in the snowy forest, stopping from time to time to confirm Jiang Zhao's faint heartbeat that was almost disappearing, before continuing to go up.

Before sunrise, the sky turned white.

Xiao Congwang hugged Jiang Zhao and sat on the edge of the cliff. He hugged Jiang Zhao with his clothes in his arms. Jiang Zhao was so cold, but luckily he was hot.

His chin rubbed the top of Jiang Zhao's hair, and he couldn't help rubbing against the furry touch.

This is the first time he has gone so far, he just wants to hold the person in his arms tightly and not let go.

"Sunrise is coming soon." Xiao Congwang said.

His voice was dry and hoarse because of the cold and not drinking water for a long time, but it was softer than ever.

He pulled Jiang Zhao away a little, and pressed his cold face against him. He was obviously expressionless, but there was endless tenderness in his eyes.

"Open your eyes and take a look, okay?" he begged, "We agreed."

Jiang Zhao still had his eyes closed, like a lifeless porcelain doll.

His eyelashes were dyed with cold hoarfrost, shining brightly, Xiao Congxuan lowered his eyes, and the hopeful light in his eyes seemed to be slowly extinguished.

The sun never waits for anyone, showing a sharp corner from the clouds, as if it jumped out in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Congxuan tightened his arms, he looked at the bottomless abyss under his feet, and then at the sunrise, "Azhao, you didn't keep our agreement."

The sun's light fell on Jiang Zhao's face, as if it was dyed with a layer of warm halo, which made his cold face also dyed with a trace of warmth.

"My lord, isn't he trying to pull me to die for love?"

The sound was so light that it would dissipate when blown on it, like a hallucination, Xiao Congwang froze his body.

"Xiao Congwang, I have kept our agreement."

"Ah."

"I feel so cold."

"Then I'll hold you tighter."

"Want to swim all over the mountains and rivers with me?"

"it is good."
