a pillow in autumn

Early the next morning, Xiaobai met the old couple with their son in the outer courtyard again. To their surprise, the old couple smiled after hearing what the housekeeper said. They didn't know what the housekeeper said to them. His children are saved.Xiaobai was also happy, and brought warm tea over to him. The old couple thanked him and took it to drink.

Suddenly the housekeeper shouted from behind: "Eldest young master, you are back, the master has been talking about it for several days." Then he waved his hand, and a servant beside him ran into the inner hall to report.

Xiao Bai looked at the gate, and saw a young man walking in, about 27 or [-] years old, followed by a boy carrying a burden.This person is Pei Li's eldest son, Pei Dongcheng.Pei Dongcheng walked across the courtyard in a few steps, and his expression became more and more anxious: "What's wrong with my mother? Father's letter didn't mention the illness in detail, so I'm really anxious to death." As he walked towards the inner hall, the butler suddenly After a pause, he replied: "Master is in the guest room, Madam has less food and drink these days... The young master will understand the detailed situation after seeing the master."

"My father is meeting guests?" Pei Dongcheng stopped in his tracks.

Before the butler could answer, Pei Li had already walked out of the upper guest room: "Dong Cheng, come with me to the study."

"Father, my mother..." Pei Dongcheng was about to ask, but when he saw his father frowning, he had to bow and answer: "Yes." He followed his father to the study.

Pei Li didn't sit in the study, and stood in front of the desk with a few strands of white beard twirling. Pei Dongcheng had to stand aside casually and waited for a moment. Pei Li said slowly: "You are already an imperial physician in the imperial hospital, but you are still like this?" Rough, yelling as soon as he enters the house, so unrestrained, how can I let my father feel at ease."

The Pei family has been doctors for generations, and doctors need to be calm, bold and careful. This Pei Dongcheng has been placed with great expectations by his parents since he was a child, so naturally he grew up with temper.At this time, although he was worried about his mother's illness, seeing his father's calm expression, he calmed down, bowed and replied: "Son knows it's wrong."

"Yes." Pei Li looked at him: "Your mother is fine. There is a distinguished guest at home, and I will invite you to visit. You have to remember to be steady and restrained."

"Yes." Pei Dongcheng was puzzled, but agreed to go out with his father.

When they came to the upper guest room, Pei Li knocked on the door: "Master Qin, my son Pei Dongcheng has just arrived home, I'll invite him to see you."

A voice inside had a bit of majesty: "Come in."

Pei Dongcheng was stunned outside the door, his father was respectful to this guest, but this guest seemed to be a bit superior to his father.And this voice seemed to have been heard somewhere.Just as he was thinking about it, Pei Li had already opened the door and walked in. Pei Dongcheng followed behind him. He raised his eyes and saw a man sitting in front of a table with a tiger pattern inlaid with jade. , Immediately shut up and froze there.Pei Li closed the door behind him, coughed lightly, and said, "Why don't you greet Lord Qin?"

"Yes." Pei Dongcheng raised his robe and knelt down respectfully: "Greetings to Lord Qin."

"Get up." Seeing the surprise on his face, Qin Wenyu just smiled: "Didn't your father tell you who he wants to see?"

"Daddy only said to introduce distinguished guests." Pei Dongcheng lowered his head.

Pei Li also smiled slightly: "This is a big matter, and I am in a hurry to lure him over."

"En." Qin Wenyu looked at Pei Dongcheng: "Tell me first, how is Chaozhong doing now?"

"The adults in the court are naturally worried about the emperor..." He looked at Qin Wenyu, and said in a low voice: "Worried about the whereabouts of the emperor, about a month ago, Mr. Zheng said in the court that the emperor's private visit to the emperor in private has not been found. Prince Cheng restrained the adults from discussing this matter privately and blocked all news, so the matter can only be speculated in the hearts of the people in the palace."

Qin Wenyu nodded without saying a word, Pei Dongcheng continued to reply: "The official position is low, and I have never personally seen it in court, but..." He slowed down and stabilized his voice: "I just heard that Prince Cheng He said that a country cannot be without a king for a day, and several adults want to support the fourth prince to take the throne."

"What?!" Qin Wenyu glared at the desk.

Pei Dongcheng immediately knelt down: "But the prime minister and the uncle of the country both insisted on sending more people to find the emperor, even... even if the emperor goes away with a crane, he will naturally support the crown prince to succeed him."

Qin Wenyu got up and took a few steps in the room, raised his hand and said, "Get up first. You only work in the imperial hospital, but you already know this. It can be seen that everyone in the palace is in danger. Pei Li, you put me here Tell him the details, we need to find a way to get back to the palace as soon as possible."

"If Lord Qin returns to Beijing, he still needs to think of a perfect plan." Pei Dongcheng frowned and said, "As soon as I received my father's letter, I set off immediately to return, but all the checkpoints along the way were strictly checked. It's been a few days."

"Strict investigation?" Qin Wenyu's eyes sank a bit: "People from the government? What can you say?"

Pei Dongcheng shook his head, and replied cautiously: "I didn't say anything. In the past, every few days there was a routine inspection at the borders, but this time it was more rigorous, and the people didn't pay much attention."

"Secret instruction." Qin Wenyu snorted coldly.

Pei Li also added from the side: "I think both sides have sent people to look for it urgently, but they don't know who is instructing whom, and they dare not let the local officials know, otherwise people's hearts will be disturbed."

In the evening, the three of them discussed and made a decision. The housekeeper came to ask for instructions to arrange the meal. Pei Li still ordered the little kitchen to make nourishing meals and deliver them to the guest room. Qin Wenyu suddenly thought of Xiaobai. Pei Li knew that Qin Wenyu valued Xiaobai very much. Respectfully returned: "I see that little Bai is smart and diligent, and he also has some understanding of pharmacology. More importantly, he is born with a compassionate heart. I want to accept him as a disciple. In the future, I will hang the pot to help the world, benefit one side, and repay him." Get Master Qin's fate."

Qin Wenyu nodded and said, "I don't worry if he follows you. You let him in."

After a while, Xiaobai ran in and grinned at Qin Wenyu: "Uncle Qin, you are well today."

"I'm ready. Come and have dinner with me here tonight." Qin Wenyu beckoned gently, and Xiaobai stepped forward and nodded cheerfully.Qin Wenyu said again: "I heard old doctor Pei say that you are very interested in pharmacology, and he wants to take you as an apprentice. In the future, you can learn to read and write with him, and learn to heal the sick and save lives, okay?"

Xiaobai nodded obediently: "Thank you, Uncle Qin." Turning to face Pei Li and knelt down on both knees: "Thank you, Mr. Pei."

Pei Li hurriedly helped him up: "Hey, yo, don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it."

In another two days, the Pei family and his son had prepared all the necessary things, and they only had to wait for Qin Wenyu to speak before they could leave.Xiaobai already knew that Qin Wenyu was about to leave, so he was reluctant to part with him. Qin Wenyu also felt that this child was very close to him, and asked Pei Li to train him to become a talent. He might enter the palace and become an imperial physician in the future.

In the early morning of this day, because all the family members only said that Mrs. Pei had recovered from her illness and that Pei Dongcheng had returned to Beijing, there was no banquet, and it was difficult for Pei Li to be sent to the pier, so he only saw Qin Wenyu off in the outer court.

The carriage had already parked outside the mansion, and the servants and Pei Dongcheng's servants carried all the simple luggage up. Xiao Bai held Qin Wenyu's hand, with tears all over his face.Since his parents left, he has been living alone. Although he has not been with Qin Wenyu for a short time, Qin Wenyu treats him gently like his own elders, and he really regards him as his uncle.

Qin Wenyu slightly lowered his head to look at Xiaobai, who was quietly sniffling. He had lived in Pei's house for more than half a month, and the child was obviously stronger than before. His small face looked up at him in the faint sunlight, with delicate features.

"What wish do you have?" Qin Wenyu patted his head lovingly. He was his savior, but he never asked for anything. If he had, he was willing to help him fulfill it.

Xiaobai shook his head, thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "I only hope that there will never be people in this world who die of cold and starvation like my parents, and that there will be no more people in this world who need to sell coffin boards for their sons like that old couple." Healer."

Qin Wenyu was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Xiaobai again, his voice was clear and his eyes were clear, just like his childish heart.

"Okay, okay..." Qin Wenyu said again and again, looking into Xiaobai's eyes and asking: "Since that's the case, if I recognize you as my adopted son and take you home to learn the knowledge of governing the country and benefiting the people, would you like it?" ?”

As soon as these words came out, Pei Li immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Master Qin!"

Qin Wenyu waved his hand slightly to him, still looking at Xiaobai, Xiaobai nodded vigorously, with a look of surprise on his face: "Xiaobai is willing. I beg my adoptive father to teach me." After finishing speaking, he knelt down again, respectfully Respectfully kowtowed three times to Qin Wenyu.

Xiaobai never saw his adoptive father after boarding the ship with Pei Dongcheng. Pei Dongcheng dressed him up as a servant, and only said that he would be sent to his adoptive father's house safely, but he was not allowed to mention this matter along the way. If anyone asked, As if there had never been such a person.Seeing his serious face, Xiaobai also seriously agreed.

The boats and vehicles kept going all the way, and Xiaobai followed Pei Dongcheng's servant to wait for the pen and ink. Pei Dongcheng found an introductory medicine book for him, pointing out some words and sentences from time to time, and it was more than a month in a hurry. By the time the carriage drove into Ruijing, Xiaobai's calligraphy had already improved a little. .

In the past few days, there have been constant disputes in Chengjin Hall of Ruiguo, the emperor's uncle and the uncle of the country are fighting each other, and all the officials are standing in their respective camps. Although there is no dispute like a market, the interior is also dark and turbulent.Everyone in the harem was in danger, seeing that a gunpowder was inevitable, so the young imperial doctor Pei brought a few servants to carry the newly purchased medicinal materials into the palace, so no one cared about it.

"A country cannot be without a reserve for a day, let alone a king! It has been many days since His Majesty drove the crane fairy away, and the memorials from all over the country have piled up like a mountain. The country urgently needs to be governed, and the people urgently need to be appeased. I hope that the fourth prince will succeed to the throne as soon as possible. "As soon as Lord Cheng finished speaking, several ministers echoed and said yes frequently.

The Queen's elder brother Guojiu said: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Yu Yiwei has already stepped up to find the emperor's whereabouts. The emperor's auspicious person must be safe, and he may be on his way back to the palace now. Besides," Guojiu's voice changed: " Even if the emperor can't return to the court for a while, the prince must succeed to the throne, dare to ask the prince, who is the prince? Don't you know the crown prince appointed by the emperor himself?"

Prince Cheng's eyes widened before he could reply, but the general Lu Yushi sneered, "Why should the crown prince be cowardly? The fourth prince is talented and his mother is noble. He is the best candidate to rule the world. As for the emperor," the voice paused, with a tone of voice. A bit of sarcasm: "On the way back to the palace? You have said this for many days, and you have heard it dozens of times since you returned to Beijing. Where is the emperor now? I haven't seen the emperor for many days, and I was thinking of paying my respects to the emperor. !"

"General Lu is so majestic!" A steady voice came, and Qin Wenyu walked out of the apse step by step in a dragon robe: "If you want to see me, I will be right here!"
