After two full days, Li Yanzhen still showed no sign of waking up, and the imperial physicians were in a hurry, all helpless.Under Su Shiyu's signal, the palace sent someone to Taiwei's mansion to ask Du Yue, a sage doctor, to help him.Chu Mingyun wanted to keep Li Yanzhen alive for a while, and he agreed freely, so Qin Zhao accompanied Du Yue into the palace.

It's just that Qin Zhao didn't expect that after Du Yue got his pulse, he shook his head at him with a look of embarrassment.

"You can't save it either?" Qin Zhao dragged Du Yue to an empty palace corridor.

Du Yue lowered his head and stared at his toes, and said in a whisper: "...I don't know."

Qin Zhao was taken aback, not understanding what this meant.

"There are several types of poison in his body, I'm not sure about one or two, maybe it can be saved, but I..." Du Yue picked his belt with his hand, and said in a low voice for a long while: "...I'm afraid."

He was terrified of that feeling, the hot blood turned cold, and the person who was clutching the hem of his clothes at one moment was paralyzed and dead in the next moment, so fast that he didn't even have time to react, and he could only see the picture under the pale moonlight. The face with protruding eyes stared at Chang'an with reluctance.

He had no face to tell Qin Zhao that the woman who broke in at night was not the first time he had faced a corpse, but it was his first real patient; he had no face to confess that he was actually frightened that night, Then he suddenly realized that he used to help his master treat some minor injuries and ailments, but now he was hiding in the medicine hut all day pouring herbs, and he had never really faced anything alone.

In fact, Du Yue also knows that he has been well protected. He has his parents in Jinling, his master in Cangwu Mountain, his cousin in Chang'an, Chu, and Qin Zhao. Everyone helps him. After everything has been dealt with, he just needs to take a look at it and accept it with peace of mind.

but……

"...I have reached the crown. My mother wrote a letter a few days ago saying that I am already an adult, and I am always like this. Isn't it useless, Qin Zhao?" Du Yue's voice was very low, and Qin Zhao had to be very careful. Focus to hear clearly.

Qin Zhao blurted out: "No."

Du Yue slowly raised his head to look at him, his eyes full of anxiety.

Qin Zhao felt distressed when he saw it, but he was so clumsy that he couldn't find a word of comfort for a long time, so he looked at him seriously and shook his head, "I don't think so."

"...But I'm really scared," Du Yue frowned, "If he dies under my hands again, I will really... I never want to study medicine or touch anything related to practicing medicine in my life." Anything off."

Qin Zhao turned his head and glanced into the hall, his sight was cut off by a beautiful screen, behind which was Li Yanzhen lying quietly.The emperor is pitiful, he has no blood relatives long ago, and the ladies in the harem are gradually alienated because of his special favor on Jiang Yuan, and because Su Shiyu blocked the news, they only think that His Majesty is sick and sleepy for a long time, and it is enough to visit and order one by one Having done her duty, right now Li Yanzhen almost passed out, but there were only a few imperial physicians Gong'e waiting in front of the couch.

Although Qin Zhao sympathized with him, but looking at Du Yue's appearance, he couldn't help but said: "If you don't want to save, I will take you back, and I will tell my brother for you."

After speaking, he went to pull him, but Du Yue stood motionless, frowning.

Qin Zhao hesitated for a moment, carefully put his hand on his shoulder, and asked in a gentle voice, "Do you want to leave?"

"I..." Du Yue opened his mouth, and then he was full of confusion and did not continue.

"Then let's try, with senior brother here, and me, it doesn't matter if you can't be saved." Qin Zhao realized that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly added: "You are the only apprentice of Master Ye."

You are the only disciple of the Medical Sage.

This sentence hit Du Yue's ears, and Du Yue was shocked, and his messy emotions disappeared.The only one is only him, and he is also the one who was invited, and no one else can do it except him.

He sank his restless heart, nodded heavily, and looked at Qin Zhao again and asked, "...Are you going back to the house later?"

He looked straight over, and there seemed to be a trace of expectation in his eyes. Qin Zhao's heart moved, and he blurted out: "I will accompany you outside the hall."

"Okay!" Du Yue smiled, and grabbed Qin Zhao's hand on his shoulder, "That's enough brother!"

Qin Zhaozheng felt that his palms were burning hot and he was a little overwhelmed. Hearing this, his eyes darkened suddenly, "I don't want to..."

"What don't you want?" Du Yue pulled him back, turning his head to look.

Qin Zhao stopped in front of the palace gate, suppressed the inappropriate words he couldn't help but recalled to the bottom of his heart, looked at Du Yue and said, "...I don't want you to make things difficult, I'll wait for you."

"It's quite embarrassing, but even though you don't feel it, I think I'm useless, so I can't just keep trying to hide?" Du Yue scratched his head and glanced into the hall, "Qin Zhao, you don't have to. Just stand here and wait, as long as I can find you when I come out." He smiled at Qin Zhao, turned around and took a deep breath, and walked into the bedroom, Gong'e then closed the door.

Qin Zhao lowered his eyes, and stood quietly outside the hall like a stone statue.

The lamps and candles were lit and extinguished, night after day, only the maids who exchanged medicine for water hurried in and out, Du Yue looked back occasionally, and could always see the straight figure cast on the gate of the palace, without caring about savoring the taste in his heart , and devoted himself to medication and acupuncture.

Until nightfall that day, Qin Zhao suddenly heard a commotion in the hall, and then the door of the hall was pushed open, and the blue figure rushed out and hugged him excitedly, "Qin Zhao, wake up! Wake up! I It did, he woke up!"

Qin Zhao froze for a moment, then hugged him, his eyes soft, "Yes."

In the dormitory, Li Yanzhen finally woke up, his face was still weakly pale, his eyes stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time, and suddenly asked softly, "Where's Jiang Zhaoyi?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Jiang Zhaoyi committed suicide in fear of crime when he murdered you."

Li Yanzhen was silent for a moment, closed her eyes and let out a long sigh, she seemed extremely tired, but ordered: "Forget it, let her be buried properly according to Zhaoyi's ceremony."

The news of His Majesty's waking up spread to the Su family overnight, and Su Shiyu finally calmed down, nodded and thanked the messenger.

When Linglong came out of the inner room with the piano score, she saw the palace servants leaving respectfully, and asked strangely: "Your Excellency, you still have government affairs to do?"

She no longer wore white clothes, but changed into a scarlet dress, and the red jade and silver hairpin on her cloud-like hair made it look particularly bright and charming.

"It's just a trifle." Su Shiyu took the sheet music and flipped through it, and put his other hand on the paulownia piano to try out the rhythm, and a low and ethereal tone lingered.

Linglong sat beside him, listening intently with lowered eyebrows.

Su Shiyu put down the piano score and pondered for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "This reminds me of another song." After he finished speaking, he turned his fingers, the strings trembled slightly, and the soft and soft tunes slowly swayed like ripples.

As soon as the prelude played, Linglong's eyes lit up, "This is the tune that Lin'an sings when he puts the children to sleep!" She closed her eyes slightly, and hummed softly along with the sound of the piano.

Su Shiyu keenly sensed a trace of nostalgia from the surprise in her tone, looked at her quietly for a moment, and said softly, "Do you know this song?"

Seeing Linglong pause slightly, he opened his eyes and smiled, and said, "I heard it by chance, so I wrote it down. How did you know, my lord?"

"My mother is from Lin'an. She sang it when I was a child, and then taught me the piano music." Su Shiyu stood up holding the piano score, and smiled at her: "It's getting late, so I won't bother you anymore. You go to bed early."

Linglong was stunned for a moment, followed him to stand up, stretched out her hand to grab his sleeve without warning, lowered her head and said softly: "Since it's getting late and the frost and dew outside are heavy, why bother to go back, my lord, why don't you stay."

Su Shiyu glanced at her in surprise, shook his head and chuckled: "You know that I already have someone in my heart."

"But your lord's sweetheart is not by your side, isn't it?" Linglong said, "with your lord's wealth and status, it is not uncommon for him to have three wives and four concubines. What's more, a slave has nothing but to serve you wholeheartedly."

"Not by my side, but in my heart." Su Shiyu said with a smile, "I appreciate your affection."

Linglong loosened his sleeves slowly, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "My lord, why bother to explain this, in the final analysis, I just dislike Nu Nu as a lowly dancer, I'm afraid it will tarnish my identity."

Su Shiyu sighed helplessly, turned around and faced her, "I haven't underestimated you, why should you just treat yourself as a seductive servant and belittle yourself."

Linglong took a fixed look at him, then suddenly stepped forward and hugged him, her cheek was pressed against her warm chest, before she could wrap her hands around, Su Shiyu grabbed his wrist in time, with little strength, but it made people unable to move.She paused for a moment, then backed away, Su Shiyu then let go of her hand, Linglong lowered her head and stroked her wrist, and smiled wryly: "It's my slave who offended, please forgive me, my lord."

"It's nothing, let's rest early." Su Shiyu smiled faintly, and walked away. When he walked to the door, he suddenly thought of something, and turned around, "That's right."

Linglong looked up at him.

"This outfit suits you well."

The glance she was looking at him was full of smiles, Linglong's heart moved for no reason, and she stood there blankly watching Su Shiyu leave. After a while, she returned to the dressing table and sat down, put her hand into her sleeve and pulled it out. A dagger with a sharp edge.Linglong looked at the dagger, then raised her face in a daze, and suddenly saw herself smiling in the bronze mirror, she pursed her lips, then touched the hairpin on her head again, after a long while, she couldn't help but chuckled, Put the dagger in the drawer.

There is still some time, if you are not in a hurry, let her wait, wait a little longer.

Suddenly, it began to rain outside the window, beating densely under the eaves.

Su Shiyu glanced out, the lights in the corridor flickered, reflecting the wind and rain in the night, he retracted his gaze, and continued to tell Su Bai: "She is from Lin'an, it will be faster to find out this clue, send more people there .”

The sound of the rain gradually became louder, arousing the smell of mud, dust and vegetation, puddles were formed on the bluestone palace road, and the lights in Jianzhang Palace were dimly lit.The night was as dark as ink, the thunder rumbled, and there was a sudden explosion. A bright white light split in the dark sky. Under the white light, a magnificent palace collapsed and collapsed.

Thunder and lightning flashed, torrential rain.

Someone was standing in the dark with an umbrella watching, turned and left with satisfaction when he saw the situation, stepping on the screams of the palace people and walking away step by step, the rainwater slid down the edge of the umbrella and dripped on his shoulders, it was icy cold in the winter season.

Early the next morning, in order to stabilize the court situation, Li Yanzhen forced herself to go to court with her sick body.

With Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu present at the court, there was nothing for him to discuss and make a decision. Li Yanzhen made a brief inquiry and was about to leave the court.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

"I love you, but it's okay to talk about it."

Yue Yuxuan straightened up, and said in a deep voice, "The sudden heavy rain last night caused the Yutang Hall in Jianzhang Palace to collapse suddenly, killing and injuring dozens of palace officials."

Li Yanzhen nodded and sighed: "It's a pity, it's better to deal with it."

"This is not the important matter mentioned by the minister, please listen to the minister's detailed explanation." Yue Yuxuan said, "Although there was a torrential rain last night, it was not enough to wash away the palace, and how could such a huge palace be so fragile? The minister was puzzled, so he investigated carefully, and found that there were obvious signs of cutting corners in the Yutang Palace. It must be that someone took the opportunity to embezzle money and do things perfunctorily. In addition, please think about it, your majesty, since there are problems in the construction, can it only be Is there a problem here?"

it goes without saying.The ministers discussed in a low voice and nodded again and again.

Yue Yuxuan glanced around and continued: "According to what I have seen, Lord Yu Ke, who supervised the construction of Jianzhang Palace, is the most suspicious. Lord Yu has full control over the construction, and besides, once Jianzhang Palace is completed, he immediately Since he was transferred out of Beijing, he will inevitably be suspected of fleeing in fear of crime."

Li Yanzhen was still thinking about it, but at this time Yan Ye, the censor, also stood up, "I have something to play."

"Aiqing, please speak."

"I have the guts to impeach Mr. Yu for taking bribes and forming a party for personal gain! Regardless of what Mr. Yue mentioned, I have a lot of criminal evidence against Mr. Yu in his hands. The amount of stolen money is astonishing. The most important thing is," Yan Ye paused, "I am sure that Lord Yu is trying to collect money for others, and the forces behind it are intricate, and I am afraid that many people will be involved."

As soon as this remark came out, several officials couldn't help but change their colors slightly.Chu Mingyun raised his eyebrows slightly with a calm expression.

And Su Shiyu couldn't help but look at Yan Ye more, feeling a little strange.If you censors want to impeach officials, you can report them directly to His Majesty, but in fact, all reports must be reviewed by Su Shiyu first, which has become an unspoken rule in the censor's heart, and Yan Ye is well versed in flattery and flattery. How could he suddenly report without authorization?

"I think what Lord Yan said is reasonable." Yue Yuxuan continued, "After all, Lord Yu is only an official supervising the construction of fortifications, and his position is not high. If there is no support behind him, I am afraid he would not dare to be so bold. Your Majesty, Jianzhang The palace was built for you, and you cut corners and cut corners to get things done in a perfunctory way, which undoubtedly put your safety at risk, and it is so involved, you must take it seriously!"

"What Aiqing said is very true." Li Yanzhen thought for a moment, then looked at Su Shiyu, "Since this is the case, please work hard for Su Aiqing to find out as soon as possible and deal with it strictly."

"The minister takes orders."

"Brother, three people have already been taken away by Yushitai for interrogation. I'm afraid you will be found soon." Qin Zhao's tone was a little dignified.

"I'm afraid where did it come from? This is clearly aimed at me." Chu Mingyun said casually, "What is a small official who has already left Beijing?

Qin Zhao was a little anxious, "We can't sit still and wait for death."

Chu Mingyun evoked a cold smile, and suddenly said: "How did you investigate Tan Jing's gunpowder?"

Qin Zhao didn't know why he asked this, but he answered honestly: "Besides the big warehouse we went to, Tan Jing used his position to store some other storage places. The gunpowder was finally searched and handed over to the Ministry of War, and every gram was registered. no problem."

"Tan Jing and Yue Yuxuan, two ministers of the Ministry of Industry, when they handed over their duties, how do you know that there are no omissions? He didn't give the weight that the Ministry of War got?" Chu Mingyun said slowly, "The case of Tan Jing back then I felt something was wrong, now it seems that Tan Jing himself is an abandoned son who is used to cover up."

Qin Zhao suddenly realized, "Is there something wrong with Yue Yuxuan?"

"Isn't the timing of their attacking me just a good opportunity for me to fight back?" Chu Mingyun's smile deepened, but there was no trace of warmth in his eyes, "Once a person is proud, he will inevitably forget who he is. Go check it out now. We must definitely find that person out."

"Yes, I'm going to check Yue Yuxuan right now." Qin Zhao said and walked out.

Chu Mingyun stopped him, "Add one more person."

"Who?"

"I hate people who face Qin Muchu." Chu Mingyun raised his hand to his chin, "Yan Ye."

Qin Zhao understood, nodded and said, "Understood."

The study room fell silent, Chu Mingyun leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and meditated, the small gold-carved furnace slowly exhaled misty smoke, and the breath of tranquilizing incense quietly dissipated in the air.

After an unknown amount of time, a shadow guard hurriedly knocked on the door and came in, "My lord, people from Yushitai are blocking the front of the mansion, and they want to come in and search."

Chu Mingyun slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were unpredictable.

Sure enough, there were soldiers and guards surrounding Yushitai in front of the mansion. Yushi Zhongcheng stood at the front, saw Chu Mingyun appearing at a glance, and said calmly: "Master Chu taught us to wait."

Chu Mingyun glanced over, "Where's Su Shiyu?"

Yu Shi Zhongcheng's eyes flickered, but he didn't answer immediately.As soon as he got the news that Chu Mingyun might be involved in the case, he ordered people to report it and at the same time he brought people over to search, no matter whether the ambiguous confession was true or not, he would do a search first, even if it had nothing to do with Chu Taiwei Take the opportunity to kill the arrogance of this person.Censor Zhongcheng regained his composure, and replied: "Master Su has other important matters to deal with. The arrest and search are under my control. I hope Master Chu will cooperate."

Chu Mingyun didn't make a sound, but the line of his lips was tight.

Yu Shi Zhongcheng waited for a while, and couldn't help but step up the steps, "Master Chu resists so much, could it be..."

The words stopped abruptly, because the moment he stepped on the stone steps, the attendants beside Chu Mingyun drew their swords out of their sheaths almost at the same time, pointing directly at his weakness.Yushi Zhongcheng froze there with one step, his face turned slightly blue, and he stared at the tip of the sword in front of him, "Lord Chu, our Yushitai was ordered by His Majesty to thoroughly investigate this case, you are blatantly resisting and threatening my life No?"

Chu Mingyun finally looked at him, and said coldly: "If you want to investigate me, let Doctor Yushi come in person, what kind of thing are you?"

Censor Zhongcheng's face changed completely, he stared at him fiercely, then looked at the sword's edge flashing coldly in front of him, suppressed his anger and retreated to his original place, and called a subordinate.The subordinates got the order, got on the horse and galloped away.

Censor Zhongcheng's gaze fell on Chu Mingyun again, and he smiled angrily, "Lord Chu, no matter how you say it, we have been in the same dynasty for many years. It is really chilling for you to say this. Or say you are a thief with a guilty conscience and say nothing." What did you say?"

It's a pity that this aggressive method came to nothing, Chu Mingyun didn't look at him again.

The two parties faced each other silently, and the atmosphere almost froze, which was finally broken by the sound of horseshoes running back.

That subordinate went and came back alone, and whispered something next to Yu Shi Zhongcheng, only to see that Yu Shi Zhongcheng's face changed several times, and finally became extremely ugly.He took a deep breath, almost gritted his teeth and saluted Chu Mingyun, saying: "This official offended, please don't blame Master Chu!" Then he turned his head and ordered his subordinates to withdraw.

"He won't come to see me?" Chu Mingyun's eyes darkened with a question without any ups and downs.

Censor Zhongcheng clenched his teeth a little more. He acted so arbitrarily. He would definitely ask Su Shiyu for his guilt when he returned. The official is sloppy and abrupt, please..."

Chu Mingyun didn't want to listen anymore, turned around and walked back to the mansion. The shadow guard put away his sword and followed behind him.Chu Mingyun suddenly stopped and stood in the courtyard.

After the rain last night, the ground was still slightly damp, and the wind passed through the courtyard with a clammy chill, making his clothes flutter.Chu Mingyun turned to look at the shadow guard nearby, "Bring that dancer from the Su family here."
