Tranquility

Tangning carefully applied good medicine to Zhiwu. Faced with the hideous wound, Tangning was so uncomfortable at first that she couldn't bear to do it. However, the cell was stuffy and Zhiwu was sweating all the time. Tangning was afraid that the wound would be airtight, so she changed the medicine every once in a while. Now Already very skilled.

Although there is no shortage of medicine and food now, Zhiwu has collapsed since the day Princess Fushou came, because he suppressed his injury before, and now it is even more terrifying when it explodes.

Zhiwu has been in a coma, still has a low-grade fever, and occasionally talks nonsense.Tangning took care of him almost day and night. Although Zhiwu's speech was vague, he could still make out some fragmentary words, such as "I live up to my trust", "Brother Qu", "Hurry up" and so on. .

After hearing this, Tangning would also think about the inside story. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the water in Yongzhou was really deep, and almost everyone could dig something out.Anyway, Tangning was short of everything but time. In such a closed environment, Tangning actually had a chance to think quietly.

Especially after Zhiwu fell, no one talked to him, and it was easier for him to think wildly by himself.What I think about the most is the situation in Yongzhou and whether I have a way out of the predicament. After thinking for a long time, Tangning is still in a mess. Tangning wants to slap herself to death. Why did she choose Yongzhou Tongzhi? Jiangnan is better than here .

Occasionally, when she got tired of thinking, Tangning would think about her past life, following the timeline, as if sorting out, thinking over and over again how she got to this point.

Slowly, many memories that had been blurred with time suddenly became clear, and many forgotten emotions flooded in, making Tangning feel like she was living again.

Fortunately, he has lived for so long, and his heart has always been clear. Although he is not very capable, he does everything with a clear heart, and he is calm.Thanks to Mr. Cheng's teaching, he has been able to walk smoothly and has always maintained a clear heart.

It's just that when thinking of Mr. Cheng's words "I only hope you are safe", Tangning still remembers being moved at that time, but looking at her current situation, she feels that she has failed Mr. Cheng's heart.

When I was young, I only thought that as long as I made progress and became an official, I could help my family get rid of poverty and live a comfortable life.But now that he has experienced so much, in the capital he is intrigued and framed constantly, and hiding in Yongzhou is still full of crises.The world is so big, as long as you are in the middle of the game, there is no time to live freely.

The more she thought about it, the more disheartened Tangning felt. Her desire to become a high-ranking official faded a lot. She was even thinking about how to not be an official, but also have a certain social status and not be oppressed.

Tangning was absorbed, and felt that the time was almost up, so she took the handkerchief off Zhiwu's head and put it back in the cold water to soak it. While he was twisting the handkerchief, he heard a slight sound outside. , and immediately recognized Shu Hongyu's voice.

Tangning was agitated, she quickly dropped her handkerchief and walked to the fence, only to see Shu Hongyu dragging Mr. Pei and rushing all the way.

The two of them had a long-lost excitement when they met, but they quickly suppressed their emotions. Shu Hongyu didn't even look for the key, and kicked the door open, dragging Tangning to leave.

"Wait, there is still enlightenment!" Tangning quickly pointed to the unconscious monk on the bed.

Without saying a word, Shu Hongyu went up and carried Zhiwu on his back and ran out.

Tang Ning followed. Mr. Pei was old and out of breath, but he couldn't lose the chain at this time, so he could only grit his teeth and keep up.

All the guards in the prison were stunned by Shu Hongyu's medicine. This medicine was very powerful, but its duration was very short, less than an hour.

Mr. Pei had already arranged a way to the side door, so although it was raining outside again, the way went smoothly without meeting anyone at all, as if the huge Zhongwang Mansion was an empty house.

There was already a gorgeous carriage waiting at the side door, and it took less than three seconds for the four of them to squeeze into the carriage.Only now did Tangning have a chance to catch her breath.He looked around and judged that the carriage was not small, so he couldn't help but wondered: "This carriage is the prince's ceremonial carriage?"

Shu Hongyu lowered his voice and said, "It's King Zhong's carriage. He's holding the prince in it now, and he'll come out and take us out of the city right away."

"Where are Yu'er and Xi Rui?" Tangning asked.

"Yu'er is in the Town God's Temple outside the city, Xi Rui doesn't know, but don't worry, Xi Rui is just a servant, as long as he hides well, no one will notice him."

"Where are we going?" Tangning continued to ask.

Before Shu Hongyu could answer, there was a commotion outside, and a person opened the curtain and came in. The timing was just right.

The person who came in was King Zhong. He glanced at the four of them, then sat on the main seat facing the curtain of the car, and shouted loudly: "Go to the Great Compassion Temple."

The carriage immediately started to sway.

Although Tangning didn't know what was going on, but based on what he said just now, it was easy to guess that the man in front of him, who was about the same age as today, was King Zhong.

Tangning hurriedly cupped her hands at him and whispered, "Yongzhou Tongzhi has met King Zhong."

King Zhong nodded casually, without looking at him at all, his eyes were only on Shu Hongyu's awareness.

His trembling hand caressed Zhiwu's meaningless bloody cheek, and he was so excited that he could hardly control his voice and said, "He is Zhiwu? He really looks like his mother, he must be my son, my son."

While speaking, tears flowed down my face.

Tangning didn't know why, so she just pointed to Shu Hongyu with her eyes and asked what was going on.

Shu Hongyu looked back, and said later.

Tangning understood, so she looked away at Mr. Pei. He didn't understand how Mr. Pei got involved in this matter.

Mr. Pei also returned his eyes: it's hard to say.

Tangning was helpless. Seeing that King Zhong's tears were shedding more and more tears, and there was a tendency to cry until the end of time regardless, she had to ask again, "Where are we going? What about Yu'er?"

"We are going out of the city from the West City Gate. When we pass the Town God's Temple, you continue to go. I will go down and pick up Yu'er, and then King Zhong will continue to Dabei Temple. We will put on three fast horses and immediately go to Kunnan to join Xie Baiyun."

Tangning groaned for a moment, then glanced at King Zhong, and changed her tone, "Is Mr. Pei also with us?"

"Naturally." Mr. Pei seemed preoccupied and had no intention of talking.

"Then what should Zhiwu do?" Tangning turned her gaze back to Zhiwu.

"Zhiwu naturally follows me." Zhong Wang wiped away his tears and said hastily.

When Zhiwu was mentioned, Zhiwu woke up. After being on Shu Hongyu's body for so long, King Zhong still harassed his face all the time. As long as he was alive, he would feel it.

Zhiwu opened his eyes and scanned the surroundings. When he found Tangning, he stretched out his hand and said, "I need to get the picture."

"What picture?" Tangning had been listening to Zhiwu talking nonsense for the past two days, and now she could finally ask clearly.

Zhiwu didn't speak, but waved at Tangning.Tangning got closer and whispered in his ear:

"The picture of Qujing is in the mouth of the stone lion to the west of the Town God's Temple."

Tangning nodded, and shook Zhiwu's hand vigorously.

King Zhong watched from the sidelines, his son not only refused to kiss him, but also guarded against him, but there was still time, as long as the person was still alive, the days of intimacy would last for a long time.

However, taking advantage of his son's current distress, it is still necessary to brush up his favorability and show his merits.

So King Zhong took out his handkerchief, wiped the rain off Zhiwu's face distressedly, and said, "Son, we are not afraid, with your father and I here, no one can touch you. Although I have no skills, I am not stupid. It’s okay to protect you. If you have anything to do, tell me, and I’ll take care of it for you. Now you don’t have to think about anything, you just have to recover from your injuries. Poor boy, you are imprisoned by your cruel brother. I don’t know. How much has I suffered."

Zhiwu was a little confused, he didn't know when he had another father, and when his son became his elder brother, but he was too weak, and he could only use external medicine in prison, and it was impossible to boil the medicine internally, so He was in a state of blood loss and inflammation all the time, so he didn't have the energy to think carefully, or even the strength to stay awake. This meeting finally settled his mind, no worries, and he fainted.

When King Zhong saw it, he was frightened to death, and quickly sniffed him, tears streaming down his face.

Shu Hongyu could hardly bear the sticky old man, he waved away his groping hands, took Zhiwu's pulse, then picked up Zhiwu's appalling calf, and took a closer look.

King Zhong was only paying attention to his face just now, but now that his son had suffered such a serious injury, he almost rolled his eyes and was about to faint.Fortunately, when I heard that Shu Hongyu asked for pen and ink, I quickly agreed.

"Yes, yes, here, I'll grind ink for you." Although Prince Zhong was a bit useless, he had everything that a prince should have in his ceremonial car.

The carriage fell silent again, and everyone watched Shu Hongyu write the prescription.

Shu Hongyu was very fast, wrote three prescriptions and handed them to King Zhong: "Master Zhiwu is like this, you can't let him appear in front of others, my lord. It is probably not easy to find a reliable doctor. It's not that Shu is boasting, but Shu has studied under the famous doctor Lu Fenglin since he was a child, and Shu did not dare to fall into the title of master. These medicines are conveniently provided by the royal doctor in the palace, and the prescriptions are no more than that. My lord, in order to understand the health of the master, you must press With the prescription, Shu promises that the master will be cured within three months. But if you want to walk freely, you have to work harder."

Doctor Lu lived in seclusion when he was old, but he was very famous when he was young. King Zhong was about the same age as him, so he had heard of Doctor Lu's name before. At first, he still looked down on Shu Hongyu, but after hearing these words, he immediately Putting away the prescription preciously, nodded and said: "Be sure to follow the doctor's advice."

Then until the west gate, the only sound in the car was Shu Hongyu's voice telling King Zhong.

Soon the carriage was stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate, and the voices of the loyal king's guards talking to the soldiers came from the front.

King Zhong immediately cheered up and shouted: "What's going on in front, this king dares to stop me if I want to go out to meet friends?"

Immediately there was a voice of "See you, my lord, my lord is thousand years old" from outside.Then only a voice shouted: "Get out of the way."

The carriage moved slowly again, and everyone in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the breath was too early, and there was a sound of horseshoes coming from far and near, followed by a loud and clear stop:

"Wait!—"
