Qing Jialu

Xiao Yi wrote a letter to the second prince himself, agreeing to all his requests, and urging him to leave for the Daliang border as soon as possible.Wei Mo found a soldier who was familiar with the terrain of the grassland and asked him to deliver a letter to Ouyang Xing.

Then there was a long wait, and it was already September in the blink of an eye, but there was no news from Ouyang Xing.

"This year is much colder than previous years." Dr. Fan wrapped his cloak tightly, looked up at the gloomy sky, feeling a little uneasy.

The sudden drop in temperature was a fatal inducement to Xiao Yi's cold poison.Besides, now that the three-year deadline is getting closer and closer, he is really worried that if something happens to His Majesty, he will not be able to explain it to Shen Jia.

He has no way to extend Xiao Yi's life for another three years. Unless he finds Tianshan Snow Lotus and prepares an antidote for the cold poison, Xiao Yi may not be able to survive this winter.

It was not only Doctor Fan who had this kind of worry, but also Shen Jia and Wei Mo.It's a pity that Shen Jiayuan is in the capital and doesn't know about the climate change in the northwest.But Wei Mo has already realized it. He found that Xiao Yi has recently started to use a cane again, and he doesn't like to go out of the tent, and he is afraid of the cold.

So Wei Mo went to Doctor Fan in private to ask about the treatment.Doctor Fan was silent for a long time before he said, "This year's weather is extremely cold, and the snow lotus flowering period may be earlier."

"Really?" Wei Mo was overjoyed, "I'll send someone to look for it right away."

"General Wei, don't be too happy. It's not so easy to find the top-quality Tianshan snow lotus. Wei Wei and I searched together for two years, but found nothing." Doctor Fan poured cold water on him mercilessly.

Wei Mo calmed down instantly, and he asked, "Where did you find it?"

"I've searched all the private markets along the border." Doctor Fan said, "We asked the merchants in Xiou for a high price, but unfortunately they didn't have any."

The private market is actually smuggling. Xiou and Daliang have not traded with each other. It is not easy for the two parties to buy and sell things. It is really difficult to find people without connections.

"I heard that high-grade snow lotus grows in the cliffs of snow-capped mountains. Does it mean that the more bitter and cold the place, the better the quality?" Wei Mo asked doubtfully.

"That's true." Doctor Fan replied, "The best snow lotus grows in the Tianshan Mountains. It is not easy to pick, and it is extremely rare."

Wei Mo asked: "Can we only find it on Tianshan Mountain? Where is Qilian Mountain?"

"Maybe there are also on Qilian Mountain, but the quality cannot be guaranteed." Doctor Fan replied.

"Why didn't you say earlier that I've been to Qilian Mountains twice." Wei Mo said anxiously, "If I can't, I'll go there again and pick all the snow lotuses on Qilian Mountains, and I'll let you pick the best one to make medicine. .”

"It's absolutely impossible, General Wei." Dr. Fan waved his hands hastily, "Not to mention that snow-capped mountains are difficult to climb, and snow lotuses are rare. Even if you bring hundreds of soldiers, you can't find them. Soldiers pick them at will, and they will be useless if they destroy the properties of the medicine. This kind of rare medicine has to be picked by local medicine farmers. Besides, the flowering period should be after October, and the snow lotus has not yet bloomed when you go."

Wei Mo didn't expect to have so much knowledge about picking herbs, he slapped his head and apologized, "I was reckless."

"The general is also worried about His Majesty's condition, and if you care about it, it will be chaotic." Dr. Fan expressed his understanding.

"Then what should we do, we can only wait for the drug dealer?" Wei Mo asked.

Doctor Fan nodded helplessly and said: "That's the only way. Wei Tongzhi has sent Jin Yiwei to watch in the private border market, and will let me know as soon as there is news."

"Okay." Wei Mo frowned, but there was nothing he could do.

However, man is not as good as God, the flowering period of Tianshan snow lotus has been advanced, and the day of poisoning has also been advanced.Just after October, Xiao Yi suddenly fell ill. Like the last time, he had a nosebleed and fell into a coma.

The cold poison broke out, and His Majesty's life and death were uncertain, which scared Dr. Fan and General Wei out of three souls.Fortunately, Dr. Fan used the little medicine powder left over from before to hang Xiao Yi's life.But this little medicine powder won't last long, and the search for Tianshan snow lotus is imminent.

Looking at his friend lying on the bed, Wei Mo couldn't calm down anymore. He said to Dr. Fan: "I don't care, I'm going to find it myself. Dr. Fan, if you stay here to take care of His Majesty, you must...delay his life." .”

"But we don't have time." Doctor Fan said truthfully, "I have put all my medical skills together, and I can only keep your majesty safe for a month."

"Is it only one month?" Wei Mo was shocked at first, and then sighed resignedly, "January is January, I will definitely come back with Xuelian within a month."

Doctor Fan knew that maybe this was just a good wish.How could it be possible to meet the snow lotus that I haven't found for two years in such a short time?But at this time, Dr. Fan did not stop Wei Mo anymore, and said solemnly: "Go, General, Your Majesty and I will wait for you to come back."

Even if there is little hope, always try.

The news that His Majesty fell into a coma was strictly sealed, and only Jin Wei, Doctor Fan and others knew about it.Ordinary soldiers in the army don't know anything.What's more, Shen Jia who was thousands of miles away, he only felt bored and panicked, but he didn't receive any news.

On the contrary, Kapok was the first to know that His Majesty was critically ill.After the internal reorganization of the East Factory under her, it finally played a role, and found out such strict things.

Looking at the secret report in his hand, Kapok's tears fell involuntarily, blurring the handwriting on the secret report.This day finally came, and she took out the imperial decree from the box that His Majesty gave her before the expedition, which said King Su ascended the throne and Shen Jia assisted him.

How much she hoped that His Majesty would return safely, but this imperial edict was not issued until a hundred years later.

After thinking about it, Kapok violated His Majesty's wishes for the first time.She hid the imperial edict in her sleeve and rushed to the Shen residence in a hurry.

In the study of Shen's residence, Shen Jia looked at the imperial decree spread out on the table, and the words that Mu Mian had just said echoed in his ears.

Your Majesty is critically ill, and the cold poison is attacking. I am afraid that this time, life and death will really be separated.

For Shen Jia, she had already been psychologically prepared.But what he didn't expect was that Xiao Yi was so determined that he refused to see him for the last time.

"Your Majesty really told you to hand over the imperial decree to me after he died?" Shen Jia asked again in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, he can't bear to get my brother hurt again." Mu Mian explained for Xiao Yi, "It's better to go when the love is weak than to go when the love is strong; it's better to die in the sky than die in front of your eyes."

"It's all nonsense!" Shen Jia stood up angrily, and threw the imperial decree on the table, "He's making his own decisions again, he's always like this, self-righteous!"

"Brother calm down, what's the use of saying this now?" Mu Mian persuaded, "I'm going against His Majesty's will, telling my brother this, I just hope you can meet again. It might be too late to leave now."

"That's right, let's go right away." Shen Jia was in a daze, he ran out of the door in a panic, and suddenly bumped into a person, and he and that person fell to the ground together.

"Brother!" Mu Mian heard the movement and hurried over to check.

It turned out that His Royal Highness King Su had arrived.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Shen Jia hurriedly helped King Su up without caring about herself.

King Su shook his head, and stood aside silently, not saying a word.

Mu Mian was startled, wondering when King Su came and how much he had heard.She tentatively asked: "His Royal Highness Su came here, what's the matter?"

"I... don't understand some questions in the memorial, so I come here to ask for advice." King Su looked up at Shen Jia, and indeed he was still holding a memorial in his hand.

Recently, King Su was studying to review memorials, and Shen Jia asked him to come to the mansion to ask himself anytime he had any questions, so the servants did not stop him, and let His Highness enter directly.

Shen Jia also looked at King Su in a daze. He suddenly thought that if he left like this, what would happen to King Su and what would happen to the capital?

None of the three spoke, and fell into silence for a while.

This time, King Su summoned up his courage and broke the deadlock. He whispered, "I heard what Aunt Mu Mian said just now. Second brother, what kind of poison did he... have?"

"It's cold poison." Up to now, Shen Jia didn't hide it from him anymore, "Back then, the deposed emperor suspected His Majesty and poisoned him secretly. Your third brother was also tortured by cold poison, so he committed suicide in the Taimiao."

Hearing the secret history of the family at first, King Su's eyes widened. He was stunned for a long time before he said, "So...that's the case. I knew the three brothers were at odds since I was a child, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

"You were young at the time and escaped the dispute over the succession. Your second brother didn't want you to be involved in these disputes, so he hasn't told you the truth for so many years." Shen Jia said, "Now that you have grown up, in the future You have to inherit the throne. I tell you this, not to let you be trapped in hatred like Xiao Shu, and eventually destroy yourself. I hope you can distinguish right from wrong, learn from the lessons of your predecessors, and avoid the tragedy of seizing the throne from happening again."

"I understand, teacher." Su Wang said with tears, "Second brother is in danger, teacher, please go."

"Then you..." Shen Jia looked at King Su worriedly, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Teacher, I have grown up, and I will inherit the throne in the future." King Su returned Shen Jia's words to him intact, "There are Xu Cifu and Mr. Ma Ge in the cabinet. They will help me. Teacher, don't worry. Well, I will take on the important task of supervising the country."

The once introverted and timid child suddenly grew up at this moment.Shen Jia was moved and somewhat relieved.He raised his hand and patted Su Wang on the shoulder, his eyes turned red instantly.

"Good boy, Daliang... please." After Shen Jia finished speaking, she bowed deeply to King Su.
