Emperor Que Shaohua

The bells told him over and over again that time was passing by.The 90-day deadline is like the moon wheel on the fifteenth day of the month, which becomes incomplete overnight, leaving only more than [-] days in a blink of an eye.What passed away together was Luo Yanhua's life, no matter how hard he tried to keep it, he couldn't keep it.He is willing to give everything to understand the medicine, but when the medicine itself can't be found, no matter how hard he stretches out his hand, what he grasps is nothing but emptiness.

The Qingzhang farms in Jinling Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion were completed on schedule, and the next step is to review and compile the books, and redistribute the land annexed by the aristocratic families to the farmers who lost their land.This step is also hard work. If the original arrangement is followed, Luo Pingyuan is going to hand it over to Zhong Lin, and he will take the boat home with the emperor first; but now, rushing back to Luo City has lost the most important meaning , it is better to spend some days in the south of the Yangtze River, looking for medicinal materials, and let King Jing rest for a few more days.

Luo Pingyuan didn't go to the post house anymore, and he didn't deal with official business or meet with his subordinates unless necessary.He asked Rong Feisheng to tidy up a small study room in the outer courtyard, and ordered people to send all the classics and books that could be collected, which recorded the situation in the world for more than a hundred years, to it, from medical books to travel notes, from notes to ramblings. Local county chronicles, exotic flowers and plants, hidden weapons of organs, anecdotes and events, martial arts memoirs... A mountain of books took up most of the space in the room, and Luo Pingyuan stayed inside, looking through the books day and night, looking for clues.

He could only come up with this stupid way.The number of Xuemanqing is rare, and there is only one chance of fruiting in hundreds of years. After the fruit is ripe, if it is not refined into medicinal materials within a few months and stored properly, it will lose its potency.Therefore, even if the entire rivers and lakes are mobilized, there is little hope of encountering fresh snowman green fruits that are just in time to grow within the time limit.Luo Pingyuan thought that if some expert and strange person picked and produced medicinal materials by chance, there might be written records. Even if the chances are also slim, the tiny possibility cannot be let go.

Apart from him in the study, people from Langhuan that he knew often came in and read together for several hours or even all night. Jiang Wanli, Mu Shaoqing, Xie Xiao, and Bai Qingyuan didn't speak to each other, only the pages were flipped. rustling sound.

Everyone knows that chances are meager and close to nothing, but if you don’t pursue them with all your strength until you are exhausted and unable to continue, how will you face every rising and setting of the sun and the dawn of the evening.

If morning and evening alternate, time flies like an arrow, ten days passed in a blink of an eye, the initial enthusiasm began to subside, and the number of people who provided medicinal materials or clues to Huaibizhuang was decreasing. On King Ning's side, there were piles of books that were checked, worth tracking Found none.

Shen Ling dismounted in front of the gate of the Bai family courtyard, took off the rain cape and handed it to the servants who came up, and waved to the four attendants to wait in the gatehouse, and then walked into the porch alone with a steward.

He hadn't seen His Highness the Fifth Highness for some days.And the last time I came to this courtyard where King Jing recuperated was nearly a month ago when Tianyuan was sealed off.

The courtyard is not deserted, there are people walking around from time to time, but it is more silent than the impression.On the way to the study, he saw several acquaintances of Langhuan's subordinates, including the Xuanshuang secret guard and the young master of the Bai family, but everyone kept silent, no one came to greet him, they just nodded from a distance.

Shen Ling took a breath, feeling a bit of chill in the drizzle at the end of summer, he seemed to smell the thick smoke and flames from the distant Chonghua palace city, the fire was going to take away the soul of Langhuan, It is no wonder that the air is filled with silent pain and anger.

His Highness the Fifth Prince summoned him suddenly, could it be related to Prince Jing and Lang Huan?He couldn't help feeling uneasy.

Luo Pingyuan was still buried in his research. Compared to when Jing Wang just fell ill, he was visibly thinner. He looked exhausted due to restless sleep, and his eyes were bloodshot.On the bookshelves, in the corners, and on the desks, there are hill-like volumes piled up everywhere.

Shen Ling knew that he had a close relationship with King Jing, but suddenly seeing his highness becoming so haggard, he couldn't help but feel worried, and was even more surprised when he heard King Ning's order.

"Your Highness, Langhuan's reward is already generous enough, why do you need to award another one." He couldn't help persuading, "It's not because the subordinates don't want to obey, but Jing Yuwei is not a school of martial arts, even if we don't write formally, this one If the reward is sent out, if those interested people in the court know about it, I'm afraid it will cause criticism, and there is no guarantee that His Majesty will not blame him."

He thought about it and said, "Or, if His Highness must come forward in person, it is more appropriate to distribute the news through Langhuan, so as not to attract too many criticisms."

"Deputy Commander Shen, as you said, with Lang Huan's status in the Jianghu martial arts world and the bounty offered, it has reached the extreme. If I do the same, how much practical effect will it have?" Luo Pingyuan's expression remained unchanged. After listening to him, he said calmly, "Jing Yuwei is an official, so he will attract different attention. Some people or forces do not lack money and do not need status in the world, but they may care about power." For example, those who wish to make friends with powerful people Wealthy businessmen, for example, the Kunlun Mansion, which was expelled by the imperial court, will always seek to return to Yuzhou in the future.

At this point, a sharp and frightening brilliance suddenly appeared in his eyes: "It has reached this point, what the court says, and what the father thinks are all things in the future. I neither care nor want to care about it. Deputy Shen Commander, you understand the situation of Brother Huang, I will take care of everything, and you should do it as soon as possible!"

Shen Ling understood that there was no way to persuade her anymore, so she bowed and accepted the order.He always felt that Luo Pingyuan was a little different from the past. The seemingly impulsive decision had actually been carefully thought out, but if he said it was rational, it seemed to hide his persistence at all costs, even madness.Jing Wang Luo Yanhua's elegant and calm demeanor and quiet gaze unexpectedly came to mind. He didn't have much contact with each other in the past, but the other party's wisdom and composure made him unforgettable, and only that person could influence Ning Wang so profoundly.

"I haven't seen His Highness for a long time, I don't know how recently, how is the situation?" He asked tentatively.

"Brother Huang, he is still recuperating." Luo Pingyuan's sharp expression softened, he paused, and then said slowly, "Although everyone tries not to bother him with outside matters, I think he may have already knew."

There was an imperceptible melancholy in his voice, Shen Ling was stunned for a moment, seeing the gloomy look on his brows, he regretted his hastily mentioned it, and hurriedly persuaded: "Auspicious people have their own appearance, His Royal Highness King Jing's character Precious, not for ordinary people, presumably they will turn bad luck into good fortune, and bring good luck to those who die."

This sentence is really just a general consolation, but Luo Pingyuan thinks it deeply, nodding his head and said: "Indeed, I often hear people say that people do their best and obey the destiny, but I feel that a person like Brother Huang, even if the world is not benevolent, is not humane." He should be given a way out of life. Since he has the clear heart of the blue sea, how can he lack the snowy green fruit? If not, where is the way of heaven?"

He got up and walked to the window, staring at the boundless smoke and rain covering the world, his eyes seemed to be cast into the extremely far distance.In the boundless world, where is the little fruit that brings back life?

On July [-]th of that year, King Ning issued a reward through Jing Yuwei. Anyone or a gang who can find the required medicinal materials for Langhuan, in addition to the reward given by Huaibizhuang, can also ask the fifth prince Luo Pingyuan to do it for him. One thing, as long as it conforms to morality and does not violate the laws of the country, the promise has been made and there will be no change.
