Chapter 4 All the power of the country in exchange for the king's life
Nalan Ji and Nalan Shu arrived at the gate of the palace as fast as they were each. Sure enough, they saw Yan Niang squatting on the ground, gasping for breath while wiping tears, and screaming that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran forward.
"What the hell is going on? Yan Niang?! What's wrong with her girl!"
Nalan Ji's temperament was more anxious than Nalan Shu, and he didn't care about whether men and women would not kiss him anymore. He grabbed Yan Niang's arm and pulled her from the ground. He asked anxiously, "Have you asked for the imperial doctor?! What did the imperial doctor say? Why did it suddenly make you feel bad!"
"Yesterday, the princess was infected with a cold wind, and the two young masters also knew about it."
Yan Niang sniffed while wiping her tears, while sniffing hard. "The princess doesn't like bitter things, and she insists on eating candied fruits before she candies. I can't persuade her, so I went to the kitchen to bring her the candied fruits back. Unexpectedly, when I brought the candied fruits back, the princess had already drank the medicine... I thought, this was rare that the princess was willing to obey, so I didn't take it to heart... Unexpectedly, the Emperor Shang came to propose marriage this morning, and the servant came in to report that the two young masters were not there, and there was no one in charge of the mansion. I had no choice but to call the princess up... When the princess got up, she was just not good. She never thought that she only went out to greet the Emperor Shang, led him into the door, said a few words in the main hall, and then went back to lie down in the house, and it would be bad..."
"Why is it a bad idea?!"
Nalan Shu's body had already filled with gloomy aura, and people could feel a chill on their backs standing a few feet away, "What did the imperial doctor say?"
"When the princess was not in good shape, the Shang emperor didn't stay for a long time to disturb him, and asked the servants to help the princess back to her boudoir to rest. Then, after a while, he returned and brought a doctor from the city to see the princess."
Yan Niang swallowed gently and continued to sob, "I never thought. Then, the doctor actually said that the county chief would not be cured... Just now, I sent someone to ask the imperial doctor, but I don't know if the imperial doctors have arrived... Just now, just now, at that time, the doctor said that the princess could not be cured. She left. Soon after, the princess began to become extremely bad, her whole body was cold, and she couldn't even touch the pulse or pulse..."
"You go and urge the imperial doctor again. If you see them being slow and slow, you will catch one and throw it on the horse's back and take it back first!"
Nalan Shu frowned and ordered Yan Niang to take Nalan Ji together, then quickly walked to the carriage, tore off the lasso of his carriage, pulled down both horses, handed one to Nalan Ji, and the other turned over, "Let's go back and see the scene first!"
...
As Yan Niang expected, in a short while, news that Nalan Xue suddenly became seriously ill in the entire Zhaoyang City!
When the people heard this, they were all shocked!
In the boudoir, Nalan Xue was curled up with a quilt, sitting cross-legged on the couch, listening to her two brothers with a smile and furious. Because Mo Yi's medicine was "too effective", she smiled wickedly at this time, and she also had a "sick look", which made people feel heartbroken just by watching it.
"You bastard! I don't know how to greet both of us in advance! Just now, I saw Yan Niang crying and reporting the message, but I was so scared that I was about to jump out! It's really time to beat me!"
Nalan Ji was furious and taught Nalan Xue a lesson. However, what he taught was not Nalan Xue's pretending to be sick, but he blamed her and did not tell her about it, which caused him to be a false alarm. "Just now, if it weren't for rushing back, depending on your situation, I could really run to Shang Fusu to stay in the inn first and beat him up first!"
"Xue'er, you're so naughty. Just now, we were both anxious for a moment. We didn't even have time to take back the emperor, so we ran back. From now on, we don't know how many times he has been seeking an opportunity to take revenge."
Nalan Shu's "lecture" is obviously not as excited as Nalan Ji, but the blame in his calmness is far more convincing than Nalan Ji's "angry", "Why did you suddenly remember that you are going to make trouble like this? Is Shang Fusu, saying that he is embarrassed by you? Or..."
"I want to see, if I am critically ill, how much Shang Fusu can do for me? If he really makes me feel that he can entrust his life, then I will take advantage of this critically ill to escape and follow him to Shangguo."
Nalan Xue couldn't say that she wanted to try it out. If Shang Fusu was her Qianye, if so, she followed him to Shangguo happily to get married. From then on, she would continue her relationship with her, grow old together, and live a happy and happy life. "In this way, the emperor would think that I was dead and no longer think about it in fear. He always thought that if I marry out of the country, it would be detrimental to Mo. After all, you would be a minister in Mo. If you can get less trouble, you will be less trouble."
“Okay.”
Nalan Shu pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "You are not young, and it is time to get married to a man you like. The emperor is greedy and always wants you to stay in Nalan Mansion and serve Mo Country. He is reluctant to betrothal to others. I mentioned it to him a few times, and he always makes a vague statement, or make excuses for the other side... You have been a child who has his own ideas, and your second brother never cares about you, but today, you have made a decision and planned to
If you want to find a good man to marry, then it is time to tell you some things... Xueer, remember your second brother's words. No matter where you go or whom you marry, don't forget that your second brother is not as capable as you, but your second brother will always be your wall, Nalan Mansion will always be your home. When will you be tired, tired, bullied, and don't know what to do, come back. Nalan Mansion, you will shelter from the wind and rain. Second brother will support you in the sky!"
Nalan Shu promised people not happy that Nalan Xue had grown so big, and even this time, I had heard him say three times. The first time was when his mother passed away, he told him to protect his sister, respect his brother, and take care of his father. He said yes, the second time was before he married Sima Xi, in front of Nalan Duan's grave, he said that he would marry Sima Xi in this life and treat her well for the rest of his life. The third time was just now.
"good."
Nalan Xue agreed softly, but tears could not help but roll in her eyes, and she was almost falling.
She knew that if, this time, she really chose Shang Fusu, it would be equivalent to changing her name and following him, and going to Shang Kingdom. As long as the Menghui was not held in Shang Kingdom, she would never have the chance to meet the tombs of the two brothers, father and mother. She would never have the opportunity to come to worship and clean.
Thinking of this, Nalan Xue's heart instinctively paused. The things that had already been decided changed silently as she had unexpectedly.
...
Originally, I had arrived at the door and was about to hire a marriage proposal. After hearing the butler of Nalan Mansion, he said that the princess was sick in bed and was unable to meet guests, so she took the people back to the inn where she stayed with politeness.
Unexpectedly, before he could sit firmly, he heard rumors outside that Nalanxue had suddenly become seriously ill. He was afraid that the two young masters in Nalan Mansion would leave the court and return home. Now, Nalan Mansion is in chaos.
Chang Xianfeng originally did not believe that Nalanxue was "suddenly infected with serious illness", but when he stood in front of the window for a long time, he looked out from the second floor of the inn. He saw the endless stream of people on the street holding their own products and flocking towards Nalan Mansion. When he came back, he was full of grief and tears, and hesitated again.
At the end, I couldn't help but wonder, and made the servants dress up as common people, take their "own properties" and go to inquire.
The imperial doctors entered Nalan Mansion one by one. Not long after, they sighed and came out of it with a sad face. They were surrounded by the people for inquiries. They just shook their heads and refused to say anything.
About half an hour later, the sedan chair of Prince Sima Yu also stopped at the door of Nalan Mansion.
Sima Yu got out of the sedan chair and entered the mansion with an anxious look on his face. After staying inside for more than an hour, he walked out with his head down, got into the sedan chair, and ordered the sedan chairman to return to the palace.
"Xue'er, you have to hold on. I'll go back and ask my father for his pill. It is said that the medicine left by his ancestors to...is that can... last a life-sustaining medicine. If... he refuses to give it, then I will raise an army and snatch it for you. You have to wait for me, and you must wait for me..."
Sima Yu in the sedan chair has begun to calculate how to rebel to have enough chance of victory. He is not fully prepared, and the total number of soldiers and generals in his hand is no more than 10,000. If the imperial guards commanded by Nalan Ji do not block, the chance of victory can be 80%. If, block... Even if, even 30% of the chance of victory may not be... However, since the matter has been so far, he cannot calculate and measure it again. If, what is the use of Nalan Xue, he really has such strength?
In the future, if you become emperor, will you be posthumously awarded her the identity of a queen?
If she hadn't accompanied him, he would have the throne, what would he do!
In the inn, Shang Fusu had sent the guards who followed him to go back to Shang Kingdom with a quick horse and brought all the imperial physicians to Mo Kingdom.
Now, he was about to leave and go to the pharmacy he had been to, and ask the doctor who had been to diagnose Nalanxue's condition. What does it mean to be serious and difficult to treat? I may not be alive soon!
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The Empress is lucky and destined to be fine. Then the doctor should be poor in medical skills and cannot cure himself. He just talks randomly, which is not worthy of trust."
The guard hurriedly caught up with Shang Fusu and put on a new cloak. The one he wore when he went out in the morning had been wrapped in Nalan Xue. Before, he was busy looking for doctor Nalan Xue to see Dr. Nalan Xue. Before he could wear it again, he has been to the present. "Didn't the Empress himself say that it was just that he had a little cold the day before. This cold is not a serious illness... I thought that when the Empress was fighting on the battlefield, she was sleeping in the open air. Didn't she hear that there was anything wrong with it? It can be seen..."
"If you nag, I will sew your mouth up!"
Shang Fusu was in a bad mood, and even when he heard anyone talking, he felt upset. He turned his horse on his back, shook the reins, and ran towards the previous medicine shop.
...
All the imperial doctors could not see the reason. They only felt that Nalan Xue's weak vein was a strange disease that she had never seen before.
Sima Qing was also anxious, afraid that Nalan Xue would really have a bad situation, so that Mo State would be able to use a good general... Mo State lacked generals. Now, Yuchi Xian is old and can no longer lead troops. Yuchi Gong is still lacking in training... He finally found a general like Nalan Xue, if so...
Three imperial edicts were issued in a row. Almost all the doctors with some abilities in Zhaoyang City had entered the gate of Nalan Mansion. However, Nalan Xue's situation was still "becoming worse and worse". On several occasions, he almost fainted from breathlessness.
"Father, I heard that my ancestors had a strange medicine that could last a life. I wonder if it could be taken out to save Princess Nalan's life?"
Sima Yu had been kneeling in Sima Qing's imperial study for a whole hour, and said this for less than the fiftieth time.
Just now, when he was planning to summon his subordinates, scheme the palace and force the medicine to seize the medicine... his self-reliable "subjects" gave him a loud slap!
Facing Sima Qing holding the whistleblower and his angry eyes, Sima Yu knew that he had lost and lost miserably.
Since the robbery cannot be achieved, then let me ask for it. He left his dignity and pride and never took a step back. He wanted to save her at any cost!
"How long have you liked that girl?"
After a long time, Sima Qing, who was sitting behind the desk, finally spoke. The question asked, which made Sima Yu feel a little relieved. The matter of his request for medicine was 80% successful, but he only needed to pay some price.
"The reason why my son became motivated was because he liked her."
To this day, it is no longer necessary to hide it. Sima Yu decided to tell the concealment that had been for many years, just to ask that Sima Qing could take out the medicine that could save her life to save her life, "I have always kept it from her. Until now, she has not known that Erchen is interested in her."
"You have already had the cruelty to become an emperor, but you can't let go of your children's love."
Sima Qing took a deep breath, stood up, walked around the table, came to Sima Yu, reached out and pulled him up from the ground, "If I tell you that you will abandon her and become a lonely man, I will give you that pill and ask you to save her, how will you make a decision?"
"Son-in-law..."
Sima Yu clenched his fists, and his finger bones made a sound because they were tight. It took him a long time to reply to Sima Qing, "I can't do it..."
"Look, you still don't like her enough. To save her life, you can't even make such a sacrifice."
Sima Qing curled his lips and smiled, reached out and patted Sima Yu on the shoulder, left him alone in the room, and left the gate of the imperial study room, "Look at the prince, no one can let him out without my personal permission."
...
On the other hand, Shang Fusu had already arrived at Mo Yi's medicine shop.
This time, he did not look as fierce as he did when he came before, but instead saluted respectfully to the shopkeeper and the old man Mo Yi who was in the hall.
"Before, I was a junior who was rude and made two people abrupt. Now, I am here to apologize and ask the old man to save my future wife's life."
Shang Fusu did not call himself "I", but used the word "I" to the courtesy of the two of them, which was also the highest etiquette of Shang and the country.
In other words, this time, he was begging these two people in the name of Shang Fusu, asking the doctor to save his wife's life in the name of a husband, rather than the emperor of a country... It can be said that he abandoned all his pride in this foreign country that does not belong to him.
"Your Majesty the Emperor Shang really wants to save the princess's life?"
Old Man Mo Yi was also a little surprised when he heard about Shang Fusu's reaction. He had never heard of Shang and the people were strong. The men of Shang would rather drop their heads than bow to others. What he saw today seemed... was a little different from what he knew?
"really."
Shang Fusu slowly stood up and looked at the old man Mo Yi who was talking, with a sincere attitude, "Since the old man can say it, he may not be cured, is that it equal or can heal it. I wonder if Fusu is right?"
"I can indeed treat it, but the medical fee is a little high. I wonder if your Majesty is willing to give up, just for a wife who has not yet passed the door."
Old man Mo Yi smiled, stood up from the clinic, slowly slipped to Shang Fusu's side, lowered his voice, and said to him, "One hundred thousand soldiers will be borrowed for three years, and after three years, they will be returned in full."
"Can."
Shang Fusu agreed without thinking, not to mention 100,000 soldiers, if he borrowed it for three years, even if he wanted to leave 100,000 soldiers and horses, he would have to treat Nalan Xue's illness! That was his queen, and he would have to accompany him for life!
"Your Majesty is so generous. He agreed without thinking about it."
The old man Mo Yi smiled with his eyebrows and eyes curled. In his heart, he had already recognized Shang Fusu, the "future husband" of his master, who was easy to ask for priceless treasures and rarely had a lover. This man was willing to ignore his family, country and the world for his master. If such a man is not worth entrusting his life, who else can be worth it?
"If the old man can save my wife's life, Shang Fusu is willing to devote the power of the Shang Dynasty to fulfill his wish for the old man."
Shang Fusu is not a fool. After hearing what Old Man Mo Yi said, how could he understand that he had been waiting for him here? However, he didn't know that Old Man Mo Yi was with Nalan Xue and was deliberately testing him, but only thought that he had a bad attitude before, provoked people from other races who should not be provoked, and caused Nalan Xue to suffer this unrestrained disaster for him. "My wife is innocent and has not offended the old man. If the old man is worried, Shang Fusu will not fulfill his promise. Maybe, apply this disease to Shang Fusu!"
"You are also a lover. Okay, old man, I won't make things difficult for you anymore. Take it and let someone cook it in three bowls of water into a bowl, and give your little wife to drink it while it's hot!"
Having already achieved the result he wanted, the old man Mo Yi let Shang Fusu go. He took out a small white jade bottle from his belt and threw it to him, signaling him to "save" Nalan Xue's life. "The 30,000 soldiers you owe me, will be kept with you first. When I use it, I will go to ask you for help... Looking at you, a young man, I am also infatuated. I will remind you again, your Princess Nalan is now a famous general of Mo State. The hero in the eyes of Emperor Mo. It is not something you want to marry. She can easily take away if you want to marry him.... Jie Shi, if you encounter trouble and can't leave, come to this pharmacy again to find me. It's still the price just now, 30,000 soldiers and horses. I have my own good plans. Let Emperor Mo release you and leave safely..."
"Thank you for your kindness, I wonder, what do you call me?"
After Old Man Mo Yi's reminder, Shang Fusu thought that it would not be as easy as he thought that he wanted to take Nalan Xue away. But he didn't know that this old man had any supernatural powers that could help him. "When Shang Fusu returned to Shang Kingdom, it would be easier to inform Gong Wei... When the old man went to borrow troops in the future, he would be able to report it..."
"My last name is Mo, his name is meaning."
