Yeting Palace, the province of the inner servants, the jackdaw falls, there is a hall in front, the east and west corridors, there are more than 500 houses in total, here is the residence of the attendants in the Taiji Palace. Xu You hasn't been here for a long time, and today, he is here again, and his stepfather Xu Lian lives here.

Xu Lian lives in a separate courtyard, and the geographical location is not bad, after all, he used to be the head of the Taiji Palace, and he won the trust of the first emperor, and now although he has retired, the living environment naturally cannot be too shabby.

Xu You walked into the courtyard, but saw that the former lush tree in the courtyard had died at some point, and now only the bare trunk and branches remained, which looked a little desolate.

The light was still on in Xu Lian's room, Xu You stepped forward and knocked on the door gently, and said, "Father-in-law, are you sleeping?" ”

"Oh, Xu Yu is here." There was an old voice in the room, faintly filled with joy, and then footsteps were heard towards the door, and the latch twitched, creaked, and the door opened.

The white-haired Xu Lian leaned his back and looked at Xu You with a smile, Xu You hurriedly saluted: "Father-in-law, I'm sorry to come to you so late." ”

"Out of the way, out of the way, come in." Xu Lian said with a smile, turned around and walked towards the room, staggering and gloomy.

Seeing that Xu Lian was already old, Xu You couldn't help but feel sour, he had been busy taking care of the emperor for the past two years, and he was very guilty of neglecting his father-in-law.

Xu Lian sat down on the couch, let Xu You sit opposite him, and then said with a smile: "Coming to find my father-in-law so late, there must be something, let's say, what's the matter?" ”

Seeing that he was so straightforward, Xu You didn't beat around the bush anymore and said, "Father-in-law, the child wants to borrow your token." ”

Xu Lian nodded when he heard this, and asked, "What do you want the token for?" ”

Even if Xu Youdang told Li Zhi about being poisoned and asking Li Zhi to leave the palace, Xu Lian listened, his cloudy eyes were soaked with tears, he raised his sleeves tremblingly, wiped away his tears, and said excitedly: "It turns out that King Qiongnan is not dead, that's really good, the emperor suffered this catastrophe, and those ministers in the court who are full of loyalty and benevolence can only succumb to the obscenity of the demon queen, only King Qiongnan is a true hero, risking death to rescue the emperor, the first emperor and the emperor really did not believe in the wrong person." As he spoke, he took out a brass token from his bosom and handed it to Xu You.

Xu You spread his hands evenly, took the token solemnly, looking at the token in his hand, he suddenly thought of a question, and asked: "Father-in-law, if Wu Meiniang traces it down afterwards, will it find out on the head of the father-in-law?" ”

"What if you find out?" Xu Lianman didn't care and said, "Let's tell you the truth, my father-in-law can feel it himself, he won't live long, it's the same if he dies sooner or later, if he dies, he can go to the underworld to see the emperor, how good, the emperor is the father who grew up, he is the most kind and benevolent one among the heirs of the first emperor, if he is poisoned by the demon queen, the father-in-law is under the nine shadows, how to explain to the emperor, in public and private, you must save him, tomorrow you and the emperor will go out of the palace together, you can also serve the emperor at any time, understand?" ”

"Yes." Xu You's head bowed.

"Alright, you can go back quickly." Xu Lian waved his hand and said lightly, "My father-in-law is tired and wants to rest." ”

"Yes, father-in-law, the child has retired." Xu Yu shook his body, slowly retreated, and closed the door.

After Xu You retreated, Xu Lian walked to the table, uncovered the gauze lampshade, came to the bed with an oil lamp, lit the mosquito net, and then lit everything that could be lit in the room, and finally put aside the oil lamp, returned to the couch and sat cross-legged, showing a smile on his face, this is a real smile from the heart, on the old face, all the folds were squeezed together, only to hear him muttered happily: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the old slave is here to serve you......"

That night, a fire in the Jackdaw Fall of the Jackdaw in the Yeting Palace alarmed the entire Yeting, although everyone tried their best to put out the fire, but because they found it too late, they could not save it, and the whole house was engulfed in the fire, and finally only a charred corpse was found in the ruins.

The eastern sky was slightly bright, and a strong medicinal fragrance suddenly came out of the medicine furnace, and Pei Miao was suddenly surprised: "It's done!" ”

After that, put on a heat-insulating glove, pick up the medicine furnace and put it into the water tank next to him, immerse half of the medicine furnace in water, and "snort" straight to the white mist, which is the last means of refining medicine, called extraction, to let the temperature of the medicine furnace drop down in the fastest time, just like the quenching step of forging weapons, it can also be called the ancient "high temperature and cold extraction technology", very high.

Li Hao was awakened by the sneering sound, sat up, and saw Pei Miao holding the medicine stove in the water tank, the mist was steaming, he hurriedly jumped off the stone table, came over and asked urgently, "How is it?" Is it done? ”

"It's done!" Pei Miao replied excitedly.

After a long time, Pei Miao changed two more water tanks, cooled the medicine furnace thoroughly, and then took the cooled medicine furnace out of the water tank, opened the lid of the furnace, Li Hao poked his head and looked in, it was so dark that he couldn't see anything.

Pei Miao put a large bowl on the table and said, "Take the handle and pour it out." ”

"Okay!" Li Hao picked up the medicine stove alone and poured it into the sea bowl, only to see a lot of brown medicine powder poured into the bowl.

Li Hao put down the medicine stove, looked at the medicinal powder in the sea bowl in surprise, and asked, "Isn't it a pill?" How is a medicinal powder? ”

Pei Miao glanced at him: "This is alchemy, not alchemy." As he spoke, he took out a white porcelain bottle and a small funnel, and put all the medicinal powder into the porcelain bottle.

Li Hao couldn't help asking, "This medicine powder ...... What is it called? ”

Pei Miao plugged the cork and said indifferently: "Eighteen Arhats." ”

Li Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "You and Master are both Taoist priests, but the medicine you practiced is named after the Eighteen Arhats, is it appropriate?" ”

Pei Miao: ......

Early in the morning, the chief of the chamberlain, Bian Xi, came to the court to inquire about the fire, and learned that it was Xu Lian who was burned to death, which surprised him a little, although Xu Lian had already retired in the Jackdaw Fall, and did not ask about any affairs in the palace, but suddenly he was burned to death, which still made him feel a little abrupt, after understanding the situation, Bian Xi was ready to report the matter to the queen, but he also knew that now the queen was discussing state affairs with the ministers in the Liangyi Palace, and could only wait for the dispersal of the dynasty.

Xu You naturally heard about his father-in-law's death in the fire, and he was very sad in his heart, and hid in the corner and cried for a long time, crying like a child.

Li Hao and Pei Miao came to the Tai Hospital early in the morning, this time together, there was also a flying eagle disguised as a coachman, Li Hao and Pei Miao prepared in the Tai Hospital, and then took the medical practice order given by Tai Doctor Liu and went to the palace.

Li Hao and the others had just entered the palace, and Feiying suddenly came to Imperial Physician Liu's room, and said very abruptly: "Imperial Physician Liu, you are about to come to a catastrophe." ”

Doctor Liu was stunned when he heard this, and frowned and looked at Feiying: "What are you talking about, the old man doesn't understand." ”

The flying eagle was a groom brought by Li Hao, but now that he suddenly said such a thing, Imperial Doctor Liu felt that his identity was suspicious, not like a groom.

Feiying said: "Imperial Doctor Liu, do you know who is the person who went to the palace to treat the emperor?" ”

When Imperial Physician Liu heard this, he suddenly felt a sigh in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" Aren't they Mr. Sun's top disciples? ”

Feiying smiled mysteriously and said, "One of them, the one with more beard and a little gray hair on his head, is King Qiongnan." ”

"What!" Doctor Liu was shocked when he heard this, and lost his voice, "He's ...... Isn't he dead? ”

"How can King Qiongnan die so easily, it's just a trick." Feiying sneered, "I am the captain of the personal guard under the command of King Qiongnan, King Qiongnan asked me to inform you that you are about to come to a catastrophe, within three hours, hurry up and take your family to step on the train to Liuqiu, stay away from Datang, otherwise you will wait for the door to be beheaded." ”

"This ...... Why is this, and what does King Qiongnan want to do! Imperial Physician Liu suddenly thought of a very terrible speculation, and cried out in horror, "Could it be ...... He wants to murder the emperor? ”

"Fuck your stinking shit!" Feiying couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and said coldly, "To tell you the truth, the emperor is not sick, but poisoned, the poisoner is Queen Wu, King Qiongnan wants to save the emperor, but Queen Wu has already controlled the palace, and if she wants to save the emperor, she must first take the emperor out of the palace, Queen Wu has a tyrannical temperament, you have been taught, if she finds that the emperor is gone, she will definitely be furious, and after a search, it will naturally find your head, do you say you want to escape?" ”

"This ...... The old man ...... "Imperial Doctor Liu was suddenly speechless, why did he have such an unlucky thing, and besides, Empress Wu actually poisoned the emperor, which was too shocking."

Feiying continued to say quietly: "You can also go and tell Empress Wu, but the result of the whistleblowing is that you have to die too, because you already know that Empress Wu poisoned the emperor." ”

Imperial Physician Liu is really completely speechless at this time, this is simply no way to choose, he can only escape, it is a matter of life and death, and it involves the whole family, Imperial Physician Liu had to be nervous, he was already shaken, and asked: "Is it that if you go to that liuqiu, you will not be tracked down by the imperial court?" ”

"Yes." Feiying nodded, "That's a big island, and it doesn't belong to the Tang Dynasty yet." ”

"Okay, old man, let's go home and pack my luggage."

"You don't have to bring luggage, it's a waste of time, and it's easy to be discovered when you go out of the city, you are a doctor, and the whole family goes out of the city with luggage, and it's okay to see it." Feiying said, "You just need to take your family to Liuqiu, take the train to Liuqiu, it only takes three days, and there are people to take care of along the way, food and lodging do not worry, to Liuqiu, King Qiongnan has prepared a three-entry courtyard and 10,000 yuan for you, so that you can settle down there, you can open a hospital with the largest Liuqiu, no longer have to worry about money, and you don't have to worry about the head of the item. ”

Feiying's words were very tempting, but he still had one thing to give up, and said, "But my medical books ......"

"Don't worry about medical books." Feiying said, "There is a library over there in Liuqiu, which contains thousands of volumes of medical skills, you can borrow them at any time, and there are many medical books, which you have never seen." ”

"Really?"

"Seriously!"

"Okay, the old man will go back!" Imperial Physician Liu said that he hurried out of the house, and Feiying followed closely behind, his responsibility was to escort Imperial Physician Liu's family all the way to the train, and on the train, there were naturally other people to pick up.

When Imperial Physician Liu returned home, he dismissed the servants, and then summoned all the twelve members of the family to come over, and let them go out of the city from different city gates in batches and meet at the railway station.

Just when Imperial Physician Liu and his family went out of Chang'an City, Li Hao and Pei Miao walked out of Taiji Palace, and soon after they came out, the two attendants in the rear also came out, these two attendants were Xu You and Li Zhi in disguise, and the eighteen Arhats were really effective, and they actually allowed the weak Li Zhi to walk normally, but his steps were a little vain, after all, they were supported by medicinal power.

Just after noon, on a small hill seven miles outside Chang'an City, the two of them stood proudly on horseback, their long hair flying in the wind, and it was Li Zhi and Li Hao.

Li Zhi looked at Chang'an from afar, his mood was extremely complicated, he was silent for a long time, and he suddenly said slowly: "This time, no matter whether I live or die, I don't want to go back." ”

Li Hao was stunned when he heard this, and wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say, he knew that Li Zhi was heartbroken by Wu Meiniang.

After a while, Li Zhi turned his head to look at Li Hao and said: "Poet maniac, I know that if I say thank you, you will definitely call me hypocritical, but I really want to thank you, thank you for being so good to me, thank you for helping me silently over the years, never expecting anything in return, thank you for everything you have done for Datang!" He said that he bowed to Li Hao and shook his body, his expression solemn and solemn.

Li Hao also returned the salute solemnly and said, "The emperor is serious. ”

"I'm not the emperor anymore." Li Zhi waved his hand indifferently and said, "Out of this palace, I don't plan to go back, to be honest, standing here looking at Chang'an, I suddenly feel at ease, as if I have unloaded the burden of a thousand catties on my shoulders, and I have entered the sea like a dragon." ”

Li Hao said: "The emperor is a real dragon, how can it be compared to a dragon, you are a real dragon into the sea, there are clouds in the book, the dragon enters the sea, and lives in a desperate place, the emperor, I will definitely be able to heal you, believe me." ”
