The medical sage Sang Chen was collecting herbs deep in the mountains. On the day he came out of the mountain, he saw Emperor Yong's imperial notice and knew that Suiyun was on the verge of death. In three days, he galloped thousands of miles to Chang'an and arrived at Prince Yong's Mansion. Suiyun's life was hanging by a thread.
With the help of a wonderful hand, Zhe Nai was resurrected, but his body became weaker and weaker from then on——
"History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties Biography of Jiang Suiyun"
As soon as Sang Chen arrived at the palace, he went straight to Hanyuan, took a few imperial doctors and Xiao Shunzi to help, and stayed behind closed doors, only giving various orders from time to time.
Li Zhi was waiting outside the door, feeling extremely anxious. Pei Yun's injury had completely recovered. When he heard that Sang Chen had arrived at Prince Yong's Mansion, he also rushed to wait outside the door. He was very grateful to Jiang Zhe and followed his method to communicate with his master.
After the discussion, although the two uncles did not speak, they had already acquiesced. Although it went against the Buddhist concept of compassion, they could not care less. Pei Yun was their carefully trained disciple to protect the Dharma, and he absolutely could not have anything to do with Fengyi Sect.
.For this reason, they specially divided one of the only two Xiaohuan Dan pills they had on their body and gave it to Jiang Zhe.
Everyone waited outside for a whole day, and it was not until the next night that they saw Sang Chen and others walking out with tired faces. The medical sage was already in his seventies. Although he was old and had white hair and beard, he was still in good health.
The Japanese imperial doctors almost had to take turns to fight, but he never stepped out of the door.
After walking out of the room, Sang Chen saw Li Zhi at a glance, stepped forward and saluted and said: 'I would like to thank Your Highness for your hard work. If His Highness had not used precious medicine to prolong his life, Sui Yun would not have been able to wait for me to save him.'
Li Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat softly on the chair brought by the guards. He said tiredly: 'Mr. Sang, I want to thank you for rescuing Mr. Jiang.'
Sang Chen smiled slightly and said: 'Suiyun and I share the same feelings for our ancestors and grandchildren, so it is natural for me to save him. However, although he is safe now, the rest of his care will still take a lot of effort, and I will have to bother Your Highness.'
Li Zhi stood up quickly and said: 'Of course, even if Mr. Sang doesn't tell me, I will ask you to stay in the palace temporarily. No matter what you need, please tell me. I will not let you down.'
Sang Chen nodded and said: 'I'm tired too. Please prepare a place for me. I'll come back tomorrow to diagnose and treat Suiyun. I'll live in Hanyuan, so I can take care of Suiyun's body at any time.'
Li Zhi repeatedly promised that he had already asked people to prepare a residence for Sang Chen in Hanyuan.
At this time, the princess sent someone to persuade Li Zhi to go back to the palace to rest. These days, Li Zhi almost lived and ate in Hanyuan and did not go back at all. Now he finally felt relieved and returned to his residence. The princess took his two companions with him.
The concubine and the maids helped Li Zhi bathe and change clothes. After having a delicious meal, Li Zhi finally lay on the bed and fell asleep without any worries.
When he woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. Li Zhi got up. Two maids came over to help Li Zhi tidy up his clothes. Li Zhi smiled and said: 'Where is the princess?'
The princess came in from outside and said with a smile: 'Your Highness is very happy. Hanyuan just sent someone to report that Jiang Sima has woken up.'
Li Zhi was overjoyed and said: "The name of the Medical Sage is indeed well-deserved. After one night, Suiyun woke up."
The princess suppressed a smile and said, "Your Highness, it's been two days, and you couldn't wake up from your sleep. Mr. Sang came over to see you and said that you had worked too hard in the past few days, and it would be fine if you woke up."
'
Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said: 'No wonder I'm so hungry. Come quickly and get some food. I'm going to Hanyuan to visit Mr. Jiang.'
The princess took Li Zhi to eat outside. As she walked, she said: 'Your Highness will take Rou Lan with him later. I dare not tell her about Jiang Sima these days. She has cried and made trouble several times.'
Li Zhi nodded and said: 'Okay, you can accompany me there, and then go into the palace and tell Chang Le.'
The princess looked at Li Zhi in surprise and said: 'Didn't Your Highness say that this matter was inappropriate?'
Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "As soon as Changle knew that Jiang Sima was seriously injured, he immediately gave me half of the Scrophulariaceae gifted to her by her father. Two days ago, she even sent someone to ask if she needed the other half. If the medical sage had not yet
Come on, I'm afraid I really need to borrow Scrophulariaceae. It seems that Changle really has a deep affection for Jiang Sima. Even if I can't fulfill her wish, I don't want her to worry all day long.'
The princess nodded and said: 'Okay, let's do this. I will take Roulan into the palace with me, and I will show it to Concubine Zhangsun. Although this child is young, she is smart and cute, and Changle also likes her very much.'
Li Zhi nodded, and the princess continued: "Your Highness, although you let General Qin and the others go, you have been keeping people under surveillance these days, and they were blatant. Yesterday, Mrs. Qin came to visit in person, and told me that it was definitely not Qin Qing's fault, but
The general still locked up Qin Qing and questioned him carefully.' Li Zhi said coldly: 'Let me discuss these matters with Sui Yun. If he did it, I will never spare him.'
The princess hesitated and said: "Your Highness, you and the prince are on the same level now. If you offend General Qin again, I will really not be at ease. Moreover, the Xiahou family is deeply favored by the emperor. Princess Jingjiang is here again on the order of her father.
No matter which one you offend, it will be very troublesome.'
Li Zhi paused for a moment and said calmly: 'It's nothing. Some things will have to be resolved sooner or later. It's just that if Qin Qing really did such a thing, it would really be a disgrace to the family.'
The princess said cautiously: 'I don't think this child will do this. The general has a strict upbringing. This child has a kind nature. Although he is a little reckless, he cannot do such a secret attack.'
Li Zhi hesitated for a moment and said nothing. He had already asked Qin Qing personally, and Qin Qing made no secret of what happened that day. He was sure that someone provoked Qin Qing, but he was not sure that Qin Qing had not fallen into a trap. After all, what happened that day was nothing but
Apart from Jiang Zhe, there was no other witness alive. Even if Qin Qing told the truth, he did not rule out the possibility that he might have taken advantage of someone's assassination to add insult to injury. However, the matter was so important that Li Zhi did not want to tell the princess and just said lightly:'
This king will judge impartially.'
In any case, Prince Yong's Mansion has finally calmed down for the time being. In the past few days, everyone in the Prince's Mansion has been on their feet, and now everything is calm. Of course, the turbulent waves in the dark are not something ordinary people can understand.
In the prince's residence, Lu Jingzhong stared blankly at the information in his hand, and suddenly tore up the paper angrily. After a moment, he got up and walked out of the room, and walked to the palace door, where he heard singing and dancing going on inside. Lu Jingzhong shook his head,
He walked in quietly and saw Prince Li An sitting at the top, lazily looking at the graceful dance of the dancers. Seeing Lu Jingzhong come in with a bad look, Li An waved his hand and all the dancers and musicians retreated.
Going down, he asked: "Why is the young master so worried? Isn't it just that Jiang Zhe's life has been saved? Our goal was not to save his life in the first place."
Lu Jingzhong said worriedly: 'Your Highness, I have read the information carefully these days and found that we have made a big mistake.'
Li An was stunned, sat up straight and said: 'Why did Young Master say this?'
Lu Jingzhong said: "Your Highness, I used to think that although Jiang Zhe is a national scholar, to be honest, we have no shortage of civil and military talents. Therefore, although he has extraordinary military and national policies, I don't care much. As long as His Highness ascends the throne."
After that, if he is willing to serve, it will not be too late. After all, His Highness is not the emperor yet, so there is no need to rush to recruit talents and arouse the emperor's suspicion. The minister also secretly laughed at King Yong for not knowing how to behave. Even if Jiang Zhe is talented, he will not be included in the center.
What's the use? Originally, I suggested assassinating Jiang Zhe, just to provoke a conflict between King Yong and General Qin. Unexpectedly, the situation that day was strange, and another group of assassins took the lead. Although he failed, he was still the one we arranged.
After we succeeded, His Highness also saw King Yong's reaction, and then I thought that maybe we had stepped on King Yong's vitals.'
Li An nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. We have made things difficult for our second brother many times over the years. Never have we seen him so tough. He first went to his father to cry and then sent the Guards into the city. He even gave him the Scrophulariaceae rewarded by his father.
He even borrowed Scrophulariaceae from Princess Changle, and even Lao Liu got up on the pole to fawn over her. Thinking of this, Gu became angry. Why is Liu brother so confused? Does he even take Gu into his eyes?'
Lu Jingzhong said: "It was these that made me suspicious. After carefully reading the old information, I realized that I had neglected my duty. This Jiang Zhe, I used to think that he was a pillar of talent, but after careful consideration, I found that this person was actually
A genius who is good at conspiracy.'
Li An raised his eyebrows and signaled Lu Jingzhong to continue speaking. Lu Jingzhong said: "This man is famous for his literary talent. He is the counselor in the palace of Prince Nanchu De. I didn't find it strange at first. I just thought he was just a subordinate. And what we learned
Regarding intelligence, although I knew that Prince De trusted him, I did not see any strategies he offered. Although I knew that he handled military affairs well, I felt that it was not important. These days, I have collected all the battle reports of Prince De, and found that only in Jiangxi
When Zhe was in his army, Prince De's tactics became weird and vicious. Jiang Zhe also killed the King of Shu in a song. Although it was a good story, everyone thought it was Prince De's order, but Jiang Zhe didn't
It was just a matter of catching a knife, but now that I think about it, it may not have been Jiang Zhe's own intention. It's just that Jiang Zhe was ill for several years after that, so no one paid attention. If I hadn't read all the information about Nan Chu, I might not have been able to discover this.'
Li An smiled and said: 'Are you too worried, Master? There is no evidence for this?'
Lu Jingzhong said: "There is indeed no evidence, but Your Highness, why did King Qi want to compete with King Yong for this person, and this time he sent expensive medicines? Didn't His Highness say that Liang Wan had reported to Your Highness that both King Yong and King Qi had
Let her pay attention to Jiang Zhe, but we thought that King Yong appreciated Jiang Zhe's talent. His Highness knew that King Yong loved talents as much as he loved it. As for King Qi, he was always fooling around, so His Highness didn't take it to heart. Now it seems that King Yong and Qi
I'm afraid everyone in the king knows how powerful this person is. Only the prince and his ministers regard Jiang Zhe as a talented scholar. It is said that a blind leaf can't see Mount Tai. King Yong is using his respect to make us believe that Jiang Zhe is as good as Qu Yuan and Jia Yi.
A famous person, but we have overlooked that this person is really a first-rate counselor.'
Li An said: 'Young master is careful, Gu knows it, but he is too worried. This man has not made any achievements since he took refuge with King Yong.'
A trace of vigilance flashed in Lu Jingzhong's eyes and he said: "This is exactly what I am worried about. The so-called good warriors have no great achievements. In addition, if I am right in guessing, this person's plans should be ruthless, rigorous and informal. I'm afraid
We would have fallen into a trap, so I originally wanted him to die, but I didn't expect that such serious injuries allowed him to escape.'
Li An comforted him and said: 'Young Master is extremely talented. No matter how talented that person is, he is still no match for Young Master. At worst, we will send another killer.'
Lu Jingzhong's eyes first flashed with pride, but he shook his head and said: "This is another thing that has been ignored by us. There is a hidden master beside him, named Li Shun. It is said that he is a eunuch in the Nanchu Palace.
When the city was destroyed, he took refuge with Jiang Zhe and was brought back by King Yong. I checked the information about this person afterwards and found that it was very rare, because this person was almost always inseparable from Jiang Zhe. Jiang Zhe lived in seclusion, and so did this person.
, Your Highness knows that Prince Yong’s Mansion is like an iron barrel and is difficult to penetrate, especially as there are many guards around Jiang Zhe. Our spies didn’t pay attention to this person at all. According to Xia Hou, Li Shun’s martial arts has already arrived.
Unless you are a master of his level or a person who is good at tasting, it is difficult to tell the depth of his appearance. Our spies were really lacking in this aspect and did not pay special attention, so they ignored this person.
, According to Xia Hou, this person's martial arts must be far superior to him. If we send another killer, I'm afraid it won't work.'
Li An looked uneasy and said: 'Young Master, what do you think we should do?'
Lu Jingzhong said: "There is no need to worry too much about the so-called troops coming to block it. It's just that we have to be more careful. Once His Highness ascends the throne, there is no need to worry. If the situation is urgent, at worst we can send some powerful killers. No matter how high Li Shun's martial arts is, he can still
Is it higher than that person?'
Li An nodded and said: 'Young Master is right. So should our business be slowed down?'
Lu Jingzhong said: "That's not necessary. Xiahou said that the assassin was most likely sent by Nan Chu. I don't believe that a surrender from Nan Chu would collude with the Jinxiu Alliance, and I don't believe that he is in trouble."
There is no power at all. Now King Yong is in dire straits. We just took the opportunity to have a few fights. When King Yong noticed it, we had quit. But His Highness, I still advised His Highness to stay away from Xia Jinyi. He was having an affair with Jiang Zhe.
He came into the house just because of the conflict. I'm worried that he has different intentions.'
Li An said impatiently: "Young Master, you know that although Xia Jinyi had a conflict with Jiang Zhe, it was because of the Guanzhong connection, and even Jiang Zhe would do what he did. Besides, I
Someone was sent to monitor Xia Jinyi. Apart from being intimate with Xiu Chun, he was busy rehearsing songs and dances. Jiang Zhe was seriously injured this time, and Prince Yong's palace was in chaos. If he was a spy, he should pretend to be indifferent if he wasn't particularly concerned. But you also know that although he is curious,
But there was no sympathy at all, and he even ridiculed the people of Prince Yong's Mansion. In addition, he got Xiuchun. If he was a spy of Prince Yong's Mansion, he wouldn't be busy collecting intelligence these days. Besides, such a person who only knows how to show off his emotions.
, I'm afraid the second brother won't like it. Don't worry, I won't let him know any secrets. This kid is not the material.'
Lu Jingzhong frowned and stopped admonishing him. He couldn't say that His Highness had been seduced and indulged by Xia Jinyi these days, which had caused some people's dissatisfaction. He couldn't persuade him to do this.
Li An waved his hand and said: "Okay, young master, just strengthen the surveillance of Prince Yong's Mansion, don't worry about it." Lu Jingzhong had no choice but to say it was right.
Li An's expression changed at this time, and he said: 'There is just one thing that makes me very uneasy. King Qi did not warn you and me about Jiang Zhe in advance, and now he is trying to please you. Do you think King Qi has other intentions?'
Lu Jingzhong said: 'Your Highness, there is no one in the world who has no selfish motives. I think that King Qi just likes talented people. Your Highness should not mind this selfishness.'
Li An glanced at Lu Jingzhong with some dissatisfaction and said: 'Since you said so, I can forget about it, but you have to pay close attention to King Qi, I don't want everyone to betray their relatives.'
Lu Jingzhong's expression remained unchanged and he said: 'I must pay attention to King Qi's actions. If His Highness is worried, you might as well ask Concubine Lan. She is from the same family as Princess Qi, so she will definitely know something.'
Li An said coldly: "I have already asked Mrs. Xiao. She said that Princess Qi told her that she said it was King Qi just because Gu Nian Jiang Zhe had cured his poisonous wounds. I knew about this, so I didn't
Take it to heart, after listening to your words today, Lao Liu's words must be untrue. You should pay attention to this matter for me. I will never allow another King Yong to appear.'
Lu Jingzhong said respectfully: ‘I obey your order.’
In a house in Chang'an, Xiahou Yuanfeng was standing in the garden, admiring the first blooming plum blossoms. It was already the end of February, and several early plum blossoms were in bud. At this time, a young man in Tsing Yi hurriedly came from behind.
, seeing the young master with a face as handsome as a plum blossom under the early spring sunshine, he was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: 'Master, the guest wants to see you.'
Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled slightly and said, "That's good." After saying that, he cut off a plum blossom, inserted it into the vase, and walked to the guest room holding the vase. When he entered the guest room, he put the vase on the table and said lightly
The aroma of plum blossoms immediately filled the room, and he said lightly to the middle-aged man on the bed: "Poisonous Hands and Evil Hearts, are your injuries healed?"
The poisonous hand and evil heart looked coldly at the handsome young man who rescued him that day, and said solemnly: 'My injury has healed, can you tell me what conditions you have.'
Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled and said: 'I have one thing to tell you. Unfortunately, Jiang Zhe and Jiang Suiyun have escaped.'
Poisonous Hand Xiexin's heart tightened, but he said coldly: 'Then you, the oriole, didn't take advantage.'
Xiahou Yuanfeng said calmly: "Logically speaking, you are a Southern Chu spy. I should kill you, but I really don't want to kill you. After all, our goals are not conflicting. If you are willing, I can give you another one."
A chance assassination, if you will.'
The poisonous hand sneered evilly: 'Do you think I am an idiot? Jiang Zhe must be closely guarded now, and Eunuch Shun will not leave his side now.'
Xiahou Yuanfeng's eyes lit up and he said: 'Are you familiar with Li Shun?'
Poison Hand Xiexin saw through his thoughts and said lightly: "I'm not familiar with it, but I have monitored Jiang Zhe for a while and know that he often goes in and out of Jiang Zhe's mansion. I just didn't expect that his martial arts is so strong. If he hadn't been here this time,
, I'm afraid I'll just come and die.'
Xiahou Yuanfeng said calmly: 'The interrogations in the capital have been relaxed a lot these days. If you are willing, I can send you out of the city.'
The poisonous hand and evil heart said coldly: 'What is your purpose?'
Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled and said: 'My purpose is very simple. I want you to draw the attention of Prince Yong's Mansion. While they are hunting you, I hope you can make them believe that it was Qin Qing who conspired with you to murder.
Of course I will try my best to help you escape back to Southern Chu. If that doesn't work, please make the decision on your own. You know who Qin Qing is. I think the dispute between King Yong and General Qin will also be good for you in Southern Chu.'
Poison Hand Xie knew in his heart that it was a narrow escape mission, so he said calmly: 'That's fine, at most I can give you my life back, but you also have to do one thing, you have to kill Jiang Zhe within two years.'
Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled, raised his hand and swore an oath: 'Xiahou Yuanfeng has sworn to kill Jiang Zhe within two years. If he violates this oath, he will be punished by heaven and earth.'
Poison Hand Xiexin said lightly: "Although I don't believe your oath, I believe you must kill Jiang Zhe. Otherwise, unless you don't let him know who shot that arrow for the rest of your life, you will definitely die in his hands."
'
Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled slightly. When he saw Xiao Shunzi's incredible Qinggong that day, he knew that His Royal Highness had offended a very terrible enemy, so he improvised and rescued the assassin who killed Jiang Zhe first, hoping that he could achieve his goal.
, but the person who shot that arrow was not him. If Poison Hand Xiexin hadn't thought so, how could he have obeyed his own arrangements obediently? Thinking of the killer Huangque, Xiahou Yuanfeng thought maliciously, I wonder if that person is clear
Did someone also aim at him with a bow and arrow? Things in this world are so coincidental. Who would have thought that three waves of killers would arrive at Hanyuan at the same time?
