Emperor Que Shaohua

For several days after that, there were constant banquets inside and outside the Chonghua Palace, with receptions, celebrations, family banquets, and rewards for meritorious generals, all with different titles, all around King Yun without exception.All the banquets are held in the palace or the court. It can be said that it is the intention of Emperor Tianyi. He thinks that the hard work of the four princes is so great that it is not too much to celebrate; of.

At first, Luo Linpian restrained her temper and socialized for a while, but she soon became very annoyed.Luo Pingyuan had also been there several times when he had to be there, seeing Brother Sihuang talking less and less once, his expression became colder and colder, and he was about to be frozen for thousands of miles.

Everyone who tried to get close to King Yun by taking advantage of the occasion saw that he was not interested. The iceberg-like expression combined with the viciousness of the battlefield conquest was simply unbearable.Gradually, he was so cold that he didn't dare to approach within five feet, and then he remembered that the fourth prince was originally such a person whose eyes were high above his head, making it difficult for people to get close.And it seems that there is no intention of recruiting talents and making a difference in the court. After days, only when seeing the generals and subordinates in his own army, Luo Linpian pretended to be false and enthusiastically wanted to serve the Fourth Highness. All the civil servants who made suggestions and suggestions returned disappointed.Later, Luo Linpian simply said that she was tired all the year round and had to accompany her two-year-old eldest son, so although she would not be able to thank guests behind closed doors, she also turned down all the invitations.

Witnessing such a scene, Luo Pingyuan could only lament that the fourth brother's ability to keep people away from thousands of miles away is unmatched, but it is really not easy to be idle.Which of the well-known dandies in Beijing is not a friend and companion, leaning on the red and nestling in the green.Think about An Wang’s mansion, where there are a bunch of singing girls, and the decorations collected from everywhere are either precious or ingenious. Luo Linpian’s ostentation is even better, but she definitely doesn’t like this kind of style, so maybe she has to ask Prince Duan for advice. , and then go to Mingyue Tower to sit around, I don't know if Bai Ruohan will be embarrassed if he shows up in the building with his appearance.

These thoughts are just random thoughts, Luo Pingyuan is far from the leisurely mood he had when he first returned to Luo City.After King Yun came, he was in distress.Brother Huang's meaning is very clear, but should he really fight for the reserve?

The shadow of losing everything back then is still there. He really wants to gain more power and be able to do more things, just like the determination he made to himself in the Royal Garden eight years ago.But now, he was always faintly uneasy, even though he was a prince, even if his elder brother and King Yun agreed, he still felt that it was inappropriate to accept it like this.

The Hanshan sect tends to be in the same line of Taoism, and the daily teachings are extensive, but whether it is martial arts or mentality, it still emphasizes seclusion and neglects fame and wealth. Luo Pingyuan has settled his mind and feels that his Taoism has not wavered.He thought about it alone for a few days, and quietly settled on an idea in his heart: at present, King Jing's grievances are indeed unresolved and his health is not in good health. Since someone needs to come forward to deal with the prince, he should take it on himself. embarrass him.But when the matter is successful in the future and the dust settles, the emperor's brother's health should be almost healed. At that time, this position will naturally be returned, and everything will return to its original position. Can get some compensation.

With his decision made, he suddenly felt calm in his heart, so he no longer thought of rejecting it, and continued to work hard.Of course, you have to work harder to win a favorable court situation.

Jing Yu's cavalry guards, Zhong Lin and other household officials soon discovered that although the affairs were still cumbersome, King Ning's mood became clearer than before; one of the reasons may be that Lin Chen's condition has improved.

Lin Chen was taken to Prince Jing's Mansion the day after King Yun's visit. Originally, because of his friendship with King Ning, it was most appropriate to settle in the guest room of Hanxiaozhai.However, Luo Pingyuan thought that he would go to the Emperor's Brother's Courtyard all day long, and Lin Chen was still stuck in the bad impression of the past. It would be inconvenient and embarrassing to be seen by him suddenly, so he asked Manager Yang to be alone. A small courtyard was arranged.

Xi Minghua had already known the reason behind it. The patient arrived in the afternoon, so he chose to come to see the doctor that night when King Ning was present.

Lin Chen didn't know beforehand that Luo Pingyuan was going to seek medical treatment for him, but he didn't resist either, letting Master Xi Gu carefully inspect the right leg that was destined to be lame.Since he was injured, he has long been numb to similar diagnosis and treatment. Every doctor frowned and shook his head, telling him no, no hope, and he should accept and adapt to this result as soon as possible.

He didn't want to disobey his friend's kindness. When he first heard about this, he would not believe it unless he had a try. He was just a little bit puzzled. What Luo Pingyuan found was not an imperial doctor, but a doctor from Prince Jing's mansion. It looks rather dusty.

But Lin Chen didn't pay much attention, and didn't even notice Luo Pingyuan calling the doctor in front of him "Gu Zhu" and respecting him very much.In fact, when he came to Prince Jing's mansion at this time, he was a little dazed.You can't give up in depression, but how to break through the predicament in front of you?He has spent another three days at a loss, and the servants sent by his family can be sent back, but even if he thinks about it for another 30 or [-] days, he may not be able to think of a way.

Therefore, when the owner of Mengxian Valley finished checking, although he frowned, he didn't directly shake his head or show embarrassment to talk to Luo Pingyuan, but directly said that there was a five or six percent possibility of cure, he felt a little uncomfortable I can't believe it, everyone thinks it can't be done, how can this doctor who looks only in his thirties say he can cure it?He couldn't help but look towards King Ning.

"Have you ever heard of Wushan Mengxian Valley? Lord Xigu is a famous doctor that is hard to find in the world. He is much better than the imperial doctor. He just happened to travel to Beijing to visit the emperor's brother. You will catch up by chance." Luo Pingyuan said immediately, and he Knowing Xi Ming's ability in painting, although he was still worried, there was a turning point after all, "Since Dr. Xi said that he is five or six percent sure, it is at least seven percent as the other doctors said."

Lin Chen had studied swords with a teacher for several years, and was no stranger to Jianghu. The medical skills of Mengxian Valley can be said to be a vague legend, and he has indeed heard of it.He was startled at first, and then realized that Luo Pingyuan never lied, let alone on such an important matter, his face suddenly turned pale uncontrollably, and his whole body shook.Because I have been trekking in despair for a long time, the moment hope appears, there is only a huge shock, and there is no time to feel joy.

"Is it really possible for me to recover, Master Xi Gu?" He asked in a trembling voice, not caring that King Ning would make fun of him in the future.

Standing beside Luo Pingyuan, Lin Chen's appearance made him feel a little sad. If it wasn't for worrying about Xue Ning, even though he must be very happy, it wouldn't be as if he was saved from a desperate situation.

"The injury is too serious, no matter how you treat it, it is impossible to recover completely." Xi Minghua glared at Luo Pingyuan, and said lightly, "It is almost healed, and the knee bones and tendons need to be reorganized." If you pick it up again and again, you will have to break your leg again. Not to mention the pain in the process, the injury will add to the injury, and the pain will be worse every rainy day in the future. I think you are young and resilient, so I am [-] to [-]% sure If you are lucky, you don’t need to be lame, and you can walk like ordinary people on weekdays; but if there is a slight accident, you will have a more severe disability, and the impairment is only minor, and this right leg may be useless. You Don't think that the owner of this valley is scaring you, that would be better than death."

He looked at Lin Chen's face turning pale again, and said, "Since you've come, you might as well think about it for a few days before making a decision. I don't think your current situation is too serious. Although the princess is good, the whole world is asking for marriage now." , I still don't know who will get it, is it really worth taking such a big risk?"

"You don't have to think about it anymore. The owner of the valley said that there is a half chance, which is already a blessing. Even if the possibility is even less, I am willing to try."

Lin Chen's voice was low, but without any hesitation: "Those who come to propose marriage want to marry the princess, but I just want to be with Xue Ning. I have thought about it many times before, if Xue Ning is not the princess, she should have How wonderful, but since the reality is already like this, I can't become a hero on the martial arts arena, but I can't let her face it alone because of cowardice. Otherwise, Xue Ning will be very sad and frightened." As he said, he said He bowed deeply on the bed, "I beg the Lord Gu to heal me. No matter what the result is, Lin Chen is only grateful."

Seeing his determination, Xi Minghua said no more: "You still need to make some preparations. You should rest for two or three days, and I will come and heal you." I don't know what came to mind, Luo Pingyuan saw that he had never been decisive. Master Xi Gu sighed slightly at this time.

Two days later, the acupuncture, medicine, knife and stone were ready, and Xi Minghua really reunited the bones of General Lin Shao.

The whole process took nearly three hours. Lin Chen drank the medicinal soup for pain relief and drowsiness, and was ordered to sleep acupoints. Gold needles were inserted up and down his right knee to relieve pain. Luo Pingyuan was outside the house, but he saw two drug boys coming in and out from time to time. When the door opened and closed, there was a smell of blood and medicine mixed, as well as various indistinguishable noises, as well as desperately suppressed cries of pain.No matter how steady King Ning was, he still felt uneasy. The waiting time was so long that he suspected that Lin Chen needed treatment not just for one leg, but for every joint in his body.

Just when he felt that Xi Guzhu would never end, the door opened again, and Xi Minghua walked out from inside with a tired expression. When he saw Luo Pingyuan, he obviously didn't want to say more, so he just confessed lightly: "Half You are not allowed to move your right leg for a month, and you must follow the doctor's orders for eating and drinking, and drinking alcohol is strictly prohibited, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

Although he didn't say a word about whether it was going well or not, King Ning's heart fell to the ground, and he gave a solemn salute to the owner of Mengxian Valley.When he looked into the room again, Lin Chen's right leg was tightly bandaged, as if he had fallen into a lethargic sleep, his clothes were soaked in sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

From that day on, Lin Chen started the difficult and hard life of recuperating from his injuries. His wound was painful and he couldn't move. Except for Luo Pingyuan who spared time to visit him for a while every day, he could only work with the two men whom Manager Yang sent over to serve him. The little servants, Li Xia and Autumn Equinox, talked, and it was very dull to think about it.

Despite this, his spirits are recovering, as if anticipation is born in his heart, and the previous loneliness and depression have been driven away.Except for being in a daze sometimes, he was almost the friend Luo Pingyuan was familiar with, who would write long letters with high spirits even if he was injured.

But, there is one more important thing.One day Luo Pingyuan came back from the outside, and directly said to General Lin who was still half lying on the bed and was not allowed to move: "Today I entered the palace to say hello, and I have already gone to see Concubine Rong and Xue Ning."

Lin Chen instantly became nervous: "But did you tell them? What did your empress and Xue Ning say?" When he came back, he was lying down to recuperate from his injuries, and even when he walked, he avoided outsiders, so although many people heard about his The leg injury recovery situation is not optimistic, but it is difficult to determine what the consequences will be.He discussed with Luo Pingyuan, he didn't need to say much to others, but at least he needed to tell Concubine Rong and Xue Ning, lest they hear rumors in the palace, which would only increase misunderstanding and worry.

"Of course I said it. I told the empress briefly. I only mentioned that your legs are uncomfortable due to the bumpy road. You have already invited a famous doctor to see it. After a few more days, you will definitely recover. As for Xue Ning, that's all. Not enough." Luo Pingyuan said, "She asked me to ask alone later, and I told the details of the situation before and after the treatment. And your last letter, in order to clarify the situation at that time, I was forced to also Show it to her."

"That's it, it's okay, when I tell Xue Ning again, it will be much easier." Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, then fell silent again.During these days of living here, although I haven't seen King Jing, everyone in the mansion has taken good care of him.From Manager Yang to the little attendants, no matter whether they are eating or taking medicine, they are always taken care of meticulously and thoughtfully, not just looking at King Ning's face.As a bedridden patient unable to move, I really caused a lot of trouble.

"Your Majesty is more at ease. I want you to recover from your wounds. Don't think too much." Luo Pingyuan said, seeing Lin Chen's short-term ecstasy, he didn't go into it. It's not easy to leave the palace and come to the mansion, the empress is afraid that something will happen to her if she leaves the palace, so the control is stricter than before. However, she asked me to bring you a message."

Lin Chen's heartbeat immediately accelerated, and Luo Pingyuan said slowly: "Xue Ning said that she is the princess of Yuzhou and has enjoyed the glory of the royal family for many years. This time, foreign barbarians come to a martial arts competition to ask for marriage. She can only follow the decree and can't disobey; but if she survives this catastrophe, no matter what happens again, no matter whether your leg can recover or not, she will not marry anyone else."

He took something out of his arms and presented it to Lin Chen. It was an exquisite lake-blue purse with green grass embroidered on the satin surface. tiger.

When Luo Pingyuan relayed Princess Danyang's words, his expression was still calm, but seeing Lin Chen staring at him for a long time with a purse in his hand, unable to speak, he couldn't calm down.

If Yu Zhou was strong enough, how would the enemy dare to blatantly provoke him?

Entering the twelfth lunar month, the residual heat of King Yun's return to the capital has not yet dissipated, and the more careful people have noticed that the number of foreigners in Luo City has increased.

From Zhenhai Gate in the north, Donghua Gate in the east, Xihua Gate and even Chaofeng Gate in the south, there are often three or two pedestrians dressed in Beiliao or Yijin costumes on the official road, some in leather armor, some The sable tail hangs down from the cap, and the facial features are obviously different from those of the Central Plains people at first glance. There are also more Hu people in the Western Regions with high noses and deep eyes than usual.

It was only then that people remembered that the Beiliao team who came to discuss peace and the Yijin envoys who came to ask for marriage had already stepped into the border of the Central Plains and were about to arrive in Luocheng. Little, unexpectedly attracted so many barbarians from all directions to rush to Los Angeles.

Both the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army and the Jingyu Guard stepped up inspections at the city gates and patrols outside the city.The people in the city have always been well-informed, and they are far from uneasy about this. They are all talking about it, guessing how the court will respond, and many people feel that another big commotion is bound to come.

One night, Luo Pingyuan came out of Lancangju as usual and returned to Hanxiaozhai. He still had some unfinished business, so he let Shuangjiang rub his ink to prepare for a while before going to bed.

At this moment, there were a few low shouts from outside, followed by the sound of weapons being unsheathed and the sound of sword blades piercing the wind. The hidden guards in the mansion seemed to have made a move with someone.

His heart trembled slightly, he got up and took off the Chunjun sword on the wall, and told Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang who hadn't figured out what was going on, "Stay in the room and don't go out."

The little attendants didn't have time to react, and in a blink of an eye, King Ning had already come out through the window and flew outside.

Under the moonlight, Luo Pingyuan could only see people's shadows intertwined, and six or seven hidden guards were all holding long swords, splitting and closing quickly, attacking one of them.Qin Su was also there, and instead of stepping forward to join the battle, he stood aside with his arms folded, and when he saw Luo Pingyuan coming out, he nodded slightly at him.

King Ning was relieved, so he also walked over to watch the battle together.With the return of the army from conquering the north, Xuanshuang, Hengdao and Lingxu under Langhuan's subordinates have all entered Luocheng. Most of them he has never seen before, but the strength of the hidden guards in the mansion is far greater than before, so I don't know who is here tonight Trespassing.

He looked intently and couldn't help applauding.The figures and footwork of the seven hidden guards in front of them are extremely tacit, the moves in their hands can't be distinguished for a while, but the coordination between the retreat and retreat can be said to be so wonderful that there is no flaw at all.But seeing that the sword light is as powerful as a white rainbow, it forms a dense light curtain, blocking the enemy in it.Unexpectedly, Xuanshuang went to the northern border to participate in the war and practiced such a brilliant way to deal with the enemy.

He looked at it for a while, and was a little surprised again. Although the attacker was alone, but his body was fierce, his moves were powerful and profound, and he pounced down from time to time, just like a big bird in the night sky.Every time a move was made, the sword screen of Xuanshuang's dark guard was torn and distorted, losing its power.Although he can't compare with Shoushan King Chai Ming, he is actually a rare master.Seeing that this person is tall, his facial features are as fierce as a knife and an axe, and his martial arts are quite strange, he had a thought, and he couldn't help but press the hilt of the sword in his hand again.

At this time, familiar footsteps came from behind, Luo Pingyuan turned his head, and sure enough, he saw King Jing had left the Lancang Residence, and was watching the situation closely, he quickly blocked the emperor's brother behind him.

"Ping Yuan, with A Su here, you don't have to make a move." Luo Yanhua lightly pressed his shoulder, "Beiliao Pinwutang followed the third prince to Luocheng for the first time, so it is inevitable that we have to take advantage of the night to recognize the door. It's just that I didn't expect that the Kunlun Mansion didn't send anyone, and Hall Master Ouyang went out to fight and stand in front." The last half of the sentence was said to the people who were fighting in the field.
