Chapter 1128
Humpty Dumpty was originally unhappy that Li Qiufeng openly asked Wang Jingcheng and the prefect for bribes, but it was not until this time that he suddenly realized. Secretly thinking that Feng'er was right, the silver was useless in the hands of these dog officials, so it was better to give it to everyone for emergency relief. This yellow-robed man thinks that he is the down-and-out prince Zhu Fourteen. Looking at his embarrassed appearance, how can he still have half of the majesty of the royal family. And the child in his arms remained motionless, but he was afraid that he was terminally ill. The money was delivered to him, and it would have saved the child's life.
Zhu Shishi's face was slightly better when he heard Li Qiufeng say this. It's just that he looked at the silver ticket in Li Qiufeng's hand, shook his head, and said, "This king has the country's wealth, which is enough to support daily expenses. Only hating the dirty officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs for obstructing the people made this king fall into such an embarrassment. The king must take back his money with dignity and integrity, and he will not accept your alms. ”
Li Qiufeng thought that this person was too pedantic, but he could be regarded as a backbone. While he was thinking, Humpty Dumpty walked up to Zhu Shishi, stretched out his right hand, and grabbed the left hand of the child Zhu Shiwei was holding. After a while, Humpty Dumpty's face changed drastically, he took his hand back, and said, "This child is very sick, why don't you take him to the doctor?!"
Zhu Shishi's face was gloomy, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice, but he didn't speak. The woman in the fancy dress was Zhu Shishi's princess, and when she heard Humpty Dumpty say this, she almost burst into tears again. I only heard her tremble and say, "Don't hide it, sir." We ran out of money a few months ago, and we all relied on pawn items to get by. My child was seriously ill more than 20 days ago, and he has been seeing doctors in several hospitals in the city, but he has not improved. In the past few days, the illness has become more and more serious, and I have been asleep all day, my body is cold and hot, and I scream and convulsions from time to time. We want to invite Mr. He, a hermit from Emei Mountain, to come to Chengdu to treat the child, but the family is surrounded by four walls, and he can't even make up ten taels of silver. In desperation, the prince wanted to ask the prefect of Chengdu to go to the Ministry of Culture and Rites to return the money owed to our palace in the past few decades. But the prefect's excuse is gone, and we can't force our way into the yamen. Later, I heard that the Ministry of Rites sent someone to Chengdu to do business, so we had to stop the adult on the street, and just begged him to tell the adults of the Ministry of Rites to return the arrears to us. ”
When the princess said this, her face was gloomy, and she continued: "Although we are not the direct relatives of the King of Shu, we are also the bloodline of Emperor Taizu Gao after all. If it weren't for the fact that there was really no way out, how could it not be ashamed to make people laugh on the street? I really felt sorry for this child, who had hardly eaten a few full meals since he was born. Now I'm sick like this......"
Humpty Dumpty didn't wait for the princess to finish speaking, and hurriedly said: "I have learned some medical skills in Xia, if the prince and the princess don't dislike it, you might as well let Zai try to heal the prince, maybe the sky is pitiful, and the prince can turn the danger into safety." ”
Zhu Shishi and the princess had seen Li Qiufeng's methods. Since this Humpty Dumpty man is walking with Li Qiufeng, he must also be a character with great skills. Hearing him say this, Zhu Shishi and the princess both showed a look of surprise on their faces.
Humpty Dumpty said, "This disease can't be delayed any longer." Please take the prince back to the palace with him, and try to heal the prince in the next place. ”
Zhu Shishi and the princess glanced at each other and nodded at the same time.
Humpty Dumpty asked Li Qiufeng to find the old man surnamed Huang, and the three of them went to the palace with Zhu Shishi and the princess. Zhu Shishi is a side branch of the King of Shu, although he was named a prince, he is an inconspicuous little king, otherwise Wang Jingcheng and the prefect of Luoyang would not dare to despise him so much. The palace where Zhu Shishi lived was in the northeast corner of Chengdu City, and it was a two-hall house. Master Li Qiufeng and the old man surnamed Huang followed Zhu Shishi and his wife to the gate of the palace, but saw that although the courtyard wall was tall, it was already in disrepair, and the walls in many places were already mottled. The red-lacquered door was even more dilapidated, with few nails left on the door panel, and the two rings used to knock on the door were gone.
Zhu Shishi took Li Qiufeng's master and apprentice to the gate, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door twice. Humpty Dumpty and Li Qiufeng secretly thought in their hearts that this door had been dilapidated to such an appearance, and they were afraid that if they kicked hard, the two doors would fall, and it would be useless to knock or not.
After a while, someone pulled the door open inward, and an old man with gray hair appeared in front of everyone. When the old man saw Zhu Shixi, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "The prince has returned to the house, the old slave is late to greet him, and he hopes that the prince will forgive his sins." ”
Zhu Shishi said: "Uncle Wu, I said a long time ago that we should stop talking about these false etiquettes, but you didn't listen." Alas. ”
The old man let Zhu Shishi and the princess into the mansion, and said, "Lord, when the rules are not abolished. The old slave has followed the old prince since he was a child, and he pays attention to the word rules in everything. Although our palace has suffered hardships over the years, the rules left by our ancestors cannot be forgotten. ”
When he said this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw Humpty Dumpty, Li Qiufeng and the old man surnamed Huang leading the horse behind, and turned to Zhu Shishi: "Lord Wang, these are ...... people."
Zhu Shishi said: "These are my friends, and they are guests in our house today. ”
The old man hurriedly shook Humpty Dumpty, Li Qiufeng and the old man surnamed Huang to the ground, and said, "The old slave has seen all the distinguished guests. ”
Humpty Dumpty knew that the old man was an old servant of the palace, and when he saw him making such a big gift, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, and said, "The old man must not be like this, this can kill us grass people." ”
The princess said on the side: "Uncle Wu, our palace has fallen to this point, and what do you do with those Lao Shizi etiquette? ”
The old man just shook his head. Humpty Dumpty thought to himself that if he continued to be entangled like this, he didn't know how much work he would have to delay. He took out a piece of loose silver from his bosom and said to the old man: "The old man who is tired of going to the pharmacy to buy some medicine and come back, I will treat the prince." ”
The old man was stunned, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhu Shishi. Zhu Shishi nodded and said, "Let's take a while." ”
The old man agreed, and reached out to take the silver. Humpty Dumpty said the names and dosages of six medicines, and asked the old man to memorize them. The old man had been worried about Shizi's condition, but when he heard that Humpty Dumpty had a way to cure Shizi, he was overjoyed. After remembering the name of the medicine, he hurriedly left the palace.
Zhu Shishi and the princess took Humpty Dumpty and Li Qiufeng around the main hall and walked straight to the backyard. Li Qiufeng looked around as he walked, only to see that the front yard and the back yard were overgrown with weeds, although the main hall and the wing room were still complete, but the roof tiles were much less, and the wild grass grew out of the roof, which looked quite desolate.
After everyone arrived in the backyard, Humpty Dumpty said to Zhu Shishi: "The prince is tired to find a quiet place in the lower place, so that the lower can take a look at the condition of the prince." ”
Without waiting for Zhu Shishi to speak, the princess hurriedly said: "The prince's study is very quiet, but there is no couch, I don't know if it is suitable." ”
Humpty Dumpty said, "It's okay, just a quiet place." ”
Zhu Shishi hugged the child tightly and said, "Sir, please come with me." ”
Humpty Dumpty, Li Qiufeng and the others followed Zhu Shishi to the side room on the left side of the main room in the backyard. After entering the house, I saw three rows of bookshelves in the room, and the shelves were full of various books. Facing the door was a sandalwood bookcase, on which was a white paper with half the words written on it.
Humpty Dumpty said to Zhu Shishi: "Lord Wang, please hand over the prince to me." The prince and the princess can wait outside the house for a while, so that they can check on the prince's condition. ”
Zhu Shishi hesitated slightly, but when he saw the child in his arms, his face was blood-red, his breathing came and went, and his body was also cold and hot, knowing that if he delayed any longer, the child would only have a dead end. It was he who bit his teeth, supported the child's body with both hands, and handed it to Humpty Dumpty.
Humpty Dumpty took the child and said to Li Qiufeng, who was standing at the door: "Feng'er, after you go out with the prince and the princess, remember to stay in front of the door, and no one can come in." Remember, remember!"
Li Qiufeng agreed, and said to Zhu Shishi and the princess: "Lord Wang, princess, please wait outside the house." ”
Zhu Shishi and the princess saw that Humpty Dumpty was going to leave the house by himself, and they didn't know what the hell he was going to do, so they were a little hesitant in their hearts. Humpty Dumpty knew that the two of them were not at ease, so he said to Zhu Shishi: "The meridians of the prince are chaotic, and his mind is completely lost. When performing the spell, if there is a change next to him, it startles the son, but I am afraid that his soul will be frightened and leave his body. At that time, I am afraid that Da Luo Jinxian will not be able to save the life of the son. ”
