Emperor Que Shaohua

Chapter 26 The Tao is Ruthless

Luo Pingyuan stayed in King Jing's tent until midnight, and he couldn't help but worry. Fortunately, as Yang Yue said, after two hours, King Jing did seem to have recovered, his complexion recovered, and his mind gradually recovered. Ching Ming.

Yang Yue asked King Ning to go back to rest, Luo Pingyuan thought that if he stayed here all night, it would be a bit conspicuous, so he went back to his tent.He wanted to sleep for a while, but he couldn't fall asleep anyway. After lying down for more than an hour, it was dawn.

Today is the second day of Wulan Hunting. According to the usual practice in previous years, young boys from various families will compete in riding and archery, and lieutenant soldiers can also participate. It is a great opportunity to perform in front of the Holy One every year, and the participants are very enthusiastic.

The competition allows the female relatives to watch the competition. There is a faint intention to let the officials and dignitaries of various families watch the marriage for their children. In previous years, when the hunt is over, the official media in Beijing are very busy. There are many good stories and jokes. .

At the first hour of the hour, everyone gathered at the edge of the pasture that had been blocked in advance. Emperor Tianyi sat in the middle of the awning, with flags fluttering on both sides of the venue, the voices of people were boiling, and the horses were like dragons. The ones on the right were Concubine Zirong and Yi Below the concubine, there is a bright and colorful scene. The girls in the deep house rarely have the opportunity to come to this kind of occasion, and they are all laughing and laughing.

This year, King An listened to Concubine Yi's idea, and specially set up a sub-area, so that female family members who can ride horses can also participate in the competition and play some games, so as not to just sit and watch.It's human nature to know the color and Mu Shaoai, when all the men in the family are competing, they can't help but look over there, to see the unparalleled Princess Danyang, and the group of young men who are in Shaoxing. An old official girl.

Lin Chen glanced at a gap and pulled Luo Pingyuan aside, and said with a smile: "I see that the female relatives on the field are all looking at you, the girls are okay, the eyes of those wives seem to want to swallow you, His Highness Ning Wang, alive, and wish to immediately Pull back to your own family to be your son-in-law. You should also pay attention to whether there is a girl you like, and you can choose after returning to the palace, but you can only look at the portraits."

Luo Pingyuan glanced at him angrily: "Seeing that you still have time to worry about me, you will be playing soon, so worry about yourself."

Lin Chen said with a smile: "The Major General understands it, and I'm here to remind you now because I don't have time later."

Luo Pingyuan was not in the slightest mood, he hadn't slept all night, and he was still a little worried at this moment, wondering if King Jing was better.But he had already promised An Wang to supervise the game today, so he had to stay on the sidelines.

The competition was presided over by General Wu Ying, with archery and martial arts in the morning and riding and horse racing in the afternoon.

Lin Chen only reported two items in the morning. He is familiar with bow and horse, and he has worked hard in archery, and won the first place in the competition.When fighting in martial arts, the silver helmet and silver armor shine silver spears, showing the demeanor of a young general in white robes.

Luo Pingyuan was secretly amused. What Lin Chen was really good at was swordsmanship. He didn't expect that he would be decent with a gun in battle.

Near noon, Emperor Tianyi presented rewards to the winners in the morning. Lin Chen could be said to have grown up in front of his eyes. , will be the pillar of the country in the future, if you have any special wishes, you can ask me."

King Ning's heart suddenly hung up, worried that Lin Chen would say that he wanted to marry the princess because of his eagerness. This matter needs to be discussed slowly.

Lin Chen thought for a while, and said loudly: "I heard that the battle of Shao'an is coming soon. Your Majesty is worried and toiled day and night. I would like to invite you to join the battle in the northern border and fight the enemy. I beg your Majesty's permission."

Ding Jianhou's complexion changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, although the dog can show some flair, it is only on paper and has not been practiced. I am afraid that he will lose His Majesty's honor by rushing into battle."

Emperor Tianyi was surprised by Lin Chen's invitation to fight, but he also admired it. The elder brother of Xindao Dingjianhou died in the battle, and he had only such an only son. Of course, he was reluctant to put it on the battlefield, and said: "Lin Qing's words are reasonable, young man It needs to be sharpened, Lin Chen, General of the Escort Banner, can be the deputy envoy for the rations, and after returning to the capital, he will set off to Shaoan to escort the rations. This is an important item for military strategists, so please put your heart into it."

Lin Chen immediately knelt down to thank him, and Ding Jianhou felt relieved when he saw that his son didn't have to go to the battlefield, but just went to the border as a deputy.

When Luo Pingyuan saw that his friend was going to the border soon, he was both happy and worried.

In the afternoon, at the suggestion of Concubine Yi, Luo Xuening led a group of official ladies who could ride horses to hold a riding competition, and the area was filled with girls' coquettishness and laughter.

The place where King Ning supervised the competition was on the side of the arena, and there were only a dozen horses lined up far away, and they were about to send their horses to this side, which echoed the vigorous equestrian competition between the generals and soldiers.

Lin Chen was talking to him at first, but was quickly called away by a court lady, saying that the two ladies were chatting with Madam Ding Jianhou, and they wanted to praise General Lin who had just received an award.

King Ning has been busy until now, and has never found a time to see King Jing.He sent a person to accompany him in the morning, but they only said that he was fine and asked him not to worry about it. He wondered whether he should order another person to check.

What he didn't notice was that among the girls riding horses, a pair of eyes had been staring at him for a moment.

Yao Qian'er was riding a horse. She was a four-year-old little white horse with a docile temperament, but her running speed was far inferior to the mounts carefully selected by other Miss Gonghou.This is already the best horse she can find from her own mansion. Today, it may determine the success or failure of her life.She saw that not only was there no one around King Ning, but there were only two guards left. Just like Xingfen said, there is only one chance like this.

The female officer waved a small flag in her hand, and more than a dozen girls rode forward together. The reward Princess Danyang prepared for the winner was a rare and rare Tianshuibi cloth, and a day's visit to the harem, so they all worked very hard.

At a distance of half a mile, Yao Qian'er's horse ran on the leftmost side, which was the position she had deliberately occupied from the beginning. When the horse ran more than half the distance, once the horse was frightened, the closest one was King Ning.All she had to do was control her senses and call for help in time.

The little white horse ran hard, but Yao Qian'er was still passed by several girls. She looked at the backs of those who were rushing ahead, and a sneer appeared on her lips. She once passed by King Ning's Mansion, which had just started construction, and such a vast mansion site was what she wanted.

Today she has dressed up carefully, the cinnabar between her eyebrows is dotted into a small lotus shape, and at this time she bit her lips hard a few times, so that even if her face turns pale from fright later, her lips will still look bright. She wants to give King Ning left an impressive impression of his beauty, and even considered whether it would be more pitiful to pretend to faint or cry.

She tried her best to control the horse, raised the whip with one hand to urge it to run faster, while pretending to brush her hair, and quietly pulled out a golden hairpin, her eyes still couldn't leave the fifth prince's figure for a moment.Seeing that it was getting closer, Yao Qian'er's heart was beating violently. She was both nervous and excited. She calculated the distance, and she could start within fifty steps.

At this moment, she saw King Ning, who was originally facing this way, suddenly nodded and stopped a person, and turned around to talk.

Luo Pingyuan saw Yang Yue hurriedly coming from the direction of the tent, as if he was looking for someone, and quickly called him to stop: "Where is Director Yang going, what's the matter with Brother Huang?"

It can be seen that Yang Yue's expression is full of anxiety: "Your Highness, my family had a fever again in the afternoon, as if he was suffering from a cold, and he still refused to ask the imperial doctor. I don't look good, I need to be diagnosed and treated. I just went to the west The pergola, I heard that Doctor Wang is on the field, so I came to look for it."

Luo Pingyuan's heart twitched suddenly, and he said, "Hurry up and invite me, I'll go and see Brother Huang."

Emperor Tianyi had watched the match in the morning, and was resting in the imperial tent at the moment, it seemed that he was not going to come out to watch the match in the afternoon.King Ning simply turned the rein of the horse and ran straight to King Jing's residence.

Yao Qian'er was fifty steps away, but King Ning was talking to someone without looking back, and then seemed to be about to urge his mount to leave.Do you want to take a gamble?What if the horse was startled, but His Royal Highness Ning Wang did not turn around to help, and he really fell down?She was trembling all over, and the opportunity was fleeting. If she missed this moment, she still had to endure the cold treatment and snobbery of others, and she couldn't help but be sold by her family.Thinking of this, without any hesitation, she sneaked out of the stirrup with both feet, and then slammed the gold hairpin in her hand against the thick mane of the horse's neck.As the little white horse suddenly suffered from pain and neighed and leaped, she didn't care whether the voice was clear and pleasant, and screamed loudly with all her strength.

Luo Pingyuan walked in a hurry, when the sharp cry for help came from behind, his horse had already galloped several feet.He turned around and saw a white horse kicking and jumping crazily about ten zhang away. The woman's hair was loose and she was hugging the horse's neck tightly, half of her body was about to fall.

He frowned, obviously, some young lady's horse was startled, he was anxious to see Prince Jing, at this time the two guards who were closest to him waved and said, "Go save someone!" After saying that, he still urged the horse to run towards King Jing's tent.

King Ning's two personal guards were selected by him from the Imperial Forest Guards. They were capable and capable, so they immediately rushed to rescue each other. One reined in the white horse's reins, and the other held down the horse's body. It subdues.

Unexpectedly, just as the two arrived, the woman on the horse let out another exclamation, and she fell down.Everything happened in an instant, and the closest guard reached out and hugged her without thinking.

Yao Qian'er was already mentally prepared before making the move, she held onto the little white horse's mane tightly, and was thrown off the horse without the first blow. She was dizzy from fright, but still exerted all her strength to wait until Ning The king came to the rescue.

She didn't wait in vain, as expected, a pair of strong arms caught her.

Yao Qian'er closed her eyes tightly, she decided to act as if she passed out, so that everyone could see this scene.But she couldn't restrain the ecstasy in her heart, and after a while, she still couldn't help opening her eyes.

However, what came into view was not the expected handsome face of Ning Wang. The person holding her was in his 20s and could only be regarded as good-looking, but he was dressed in ordinary guard uniforms.This shock was worse than before, Yao Qian'er suddenly opened her eyes wide, but there was no sign of King Ning in front of her eyes.how so!She just failed so completely?

Out of the corner of her eye, many people gathered around, Yao Qian'er let out a low whine from the depths of her throat, this time she really passed out.

Yang Yue and King Ning certainly didn't know the consequences of their brief conversation just now.Luo Pingyuan walked quickly into King Jing's residence, and saw Luo Yanhua was in a deep sleep, his originally pale face was flushed sickly, his breathing was short of breath, and he was indeed having a fever.

Seeing his concerned expression, Gu Yu whispered: "Master also said a few words in the morning. He sat up and ate half a bowl of porridge. Later, he said that he was dizzy and had a fever. He didn't respond right now." At the back, there was a crying sound in the voice.

Luo Pingyuan called twice in a low voice, seeing that King Jing didn't respond, he was both sad and worried.I couldn't help but walked to the tent door to look around, fortunately, Manager Yang brought the doctor over from a distance, followed by two little medical officers.

Wang Jiushen, a doctor of the Imperial Hospital, was about sixty years old. He studied Sun's "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" intensively, and gave King Jing his pulse, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Luo Pingyuan thought about the illness of King Jing these years, and sometimes the imperial hospital refused to send out even the imperial doctor, so he didn't take a good look at this doctor, and asked coldly: "What's the situation, doctor Wang has been working for many years, and it's not the first time It is not difficult to think about seeing a doctor for brother Huang."

Dr. Wang was being swept away by his gaze. He still had a fresh memory of the scene where King Yun went to the imperial hospital to slap the table and yell at him four years ago. Now the fifth prince seemed not to be trifled with, so he hurriedly said: "Old minister!" Don't dare to neglect, His Royal Highness King Jing must be weak. He suffered from the heat of the journey and then suffered some cold evils in the mountains, so he developed a fever. The Chi pulse is weak and slippery, and the Cun Guan is sluggish. It is due to the internal and external forces of cold The image of it. The old minister was ordered to accompany him, and he also brought some symptomatic medicinal materials, take three doses first, or the fever can be lowered."

However, King Ning did not believe that King Jing's condition was so simple. What he saw yesterday did not seem to be heatstroke. He asked lightly: "Is there any other illness on my emperor's brother? What illnesses have you suffered from in the past few years? You first Let’s talk about it in detail.”

Wang Jiuxin couldn't help sweating a little from his temples. It was the first time he faced King Ning. He didn't expect the pressure to be so heavy. No wonder he was able to sit in the Jingyu Guard. He heard that he had a rift with King Jing. Don't have any ulterior motives.

He can be an imperial doctor, so he has his own way of protecting himself wisely. While prescribing the prescription according to his words, he thought about it. After the medical officer took the prescription to grab the medicine, he said cautiously: "His Royal Highness was injured in his early years, and all his veins were damaged. Lost in recuperation, among which the lungs are the most severely injured, so it is easy to suffer from cough and asthma. This is an old disease, and it should be replenished slowly, not too exhausting."

This statement is consistent with Luo Pingyuan's usual observations, but the condition he saw yesterday was more serious, so he asked, "Apart from the lungs, are there other chronic diseases?"

Doctor Wang was hesitating for a moment, he had just checked his pulse, only felt that King Jing's pulse was strange, it was a bit intermittent, but it seemed to have passed the critical moment.He didn't dare to say more, he said vaguely: "Your Highness is suffering from cold, you need to wait for the fever to subside first, and then check the pulse. The old minister dare not speak nonsense at this moment." He also said, "Your Highness hasn't received medical treatment from the palace for several years, maybe It is unknown if a new disease has been added during the period.”

These words cannot be said to be unreasonable, Luo Pingyuan heard it, and said coldly: "Forget it, you said that his eight meridians are damaged, how to damage the law, the lung meridian is seriously injured, and how to damage the law, there have been medical treatments a few years ago, What prescriptions have you used, think about it carefully, and be careful not to make mistakes or omit it.”

When Gu Yu walked back to the tent with the freshly brewed medicinal soup, the imperial doctor who was sweating all over was asked to leave as if he had been amnesty. Luo Pingyuan helped King Jing up with a heavy heart, and looked at a small spoonful of brown-black medicinal juice I poured down a small spoonful of it with difficulty, and I felt extremely bitter just by smelling the smell.

According to Wang Yizheng, when the assassins attacked nine years ago, King Jing caught cold when he rescued him and Xue Ning from the Taiye Pond, and was injured again. Take it easy.From the flickering words of the imperial doctor, he found that there have been at least two serious injuries and accompanying serious illnesses since then. This was when he was in the palace; During four or five years, he had to go to the palace several times every year for medical treatment.This is only what Doctor Wang can say.

Seeing that the bowl of medicine was gone, he said to Gu Yu: "Let Director Yang keep watch outside and don't let anyone in. I will use my kung fu to drive away the wind and cold for Brother Huang, and maybe he will recover faster." Paste it on the Dazhui point on the back of King Jing, and slowly input the true energy.He has calculated that it will take more than half an hour to exercise his energy and energy, and by then the riding competition outside will almost be over, so he will just go back.

In the deep lethargy, Luo Yanhua felt a warm air surge in his body, the pain that was originally like being tormented in a stove eased, and gradually became more peaceful and comfortable, as if immersed in cool water.

When he woke up, the afterglow of the evening slanted into the tent, and Gu Yu beside him was carefully wiping his face and hands with a warm towel.King Jing moved, feeling like he just broke out in a sweat, but since yesterday, the disgusting feeling in his chest has subsided, and his mind is much clearer.

"My lord has woken up," Gu Yu exclaimed in surprise, "You fell ill in this place where there is no village and no shop behind. Manager Yang and the younger one are going to die of a sudden death." He had been terrified all day and night, and his voice couldn't help but choke, " Do you feel better, Lord?"

"I'm fine," King Jing sat up slowly, his whole body was still weak, but the discomfort subsided, and he felt a little hungry.

Yang Yue was also overjoyed to see that his fever had subsided and woke up. He asked Gu Yu to find some porridge and snacks, and went to change the sweaty quilt by himself.Jing Wang watched the two people rushing in and out, feeling a little confused.In the past two days, he always seemed to hear Luo Pingyuan's voice, which sounded like Qin Su's, but it was impossible for Qin Su to be in the Wulan paddock.There is also the warm flow of inner breath just now, Zhongzheng is peaceful, if it is not because of his illness that he has hallucinations, it can only be the authentic Taoist inner strength that Luo Pingyuan practiced.Neither Qin Su nor Yang Yue's skills belong to this path.

He was distracted for a while with the porridge in his hand, vaguely remembered some fragments, and asked, "Did Pingyuan come here this afternoon?"

"Yes," Gu Yu replied, his impression of the fifth prince who had rescued the lord changed greatly, and he felt that he was different from those bad guys in the palace, "His Royal Highness King Ning stayed for more than an hour, and he only left soon. Then, I asked the imperial doctor about the master’s condition, and adjusted my breath for you for a long time. It’s good that the master can reduce the fever, Gu Yu is really scared.”

"It's not the first time." King Jing smiled and patted the little attendant's head, "It's all right."

Thinking of Luo Pingyuan staying in his tent several times, he felt a little worried, and there was still a little confusion in his heart. He always felt that he had said something in a daze, but he couldn't remember it, and why Pingyuan cared about him so much , haven't you always hated him?

He shook his head lightly and stopped thinking in this direction.For a long time, whenever a good thing happened by chance, it was followed by a suffocating disaster, so gradually he had learned not to dream in vain, but to prefer nothing at all.
