Poor monks do not break the precepts
Chapter 57
Wuzhi Building is not big, and several small buildings are not far away from each other. The two of them are very good at lightness kung fu, Chen Xiang brought Xin Li here before half a cup of tea.When Xinli entered the room and saw Huai Mingmo just got up, he immediately went up to serve and dress him, and said: "Before I came, I decided to ask Zheng Fengnian and the others to report back to the Hermitage Villa first, saying that the pavilion master is delayed by something and needs to go back two days later."
Huaiming Moyuan came to Xinli to talk about this matter, but he didn't expect that Xinli had predicted what he was thinking, so he went ahead and ordered him to go on. He looked awkward for a while, and didn't know what to say, so he let Xinli comb his hair.
Xu Sheng heard the words and said with a smile: "I know you better than him." His mind was on the music score again, sometimes Xu Sheng frowned slightly, and sometimes smiled lightly, waiting for the boy to bring the heat into the room early, Xu Sheng didn't bother.After struggling to compose the song, he stuffed the song into Huai Mingmo's hands again, "Is it okay?"
Huai Mingmo put down the porcelain spoon, touched the freshly dried sheet music with his fingers, and hummed gradually in his heart.After playing for a long time, he always felt that something was missing, so he just sat down beside the guqin, recited the tune and plucked the strings. He was gradually addicted to this vigorous tune, but the more he played with his fingertips, the more genuine energy he felt in his fingers.He plucked the strings in tune with the tune, and immediately the bowls and dishes shattered, and the fragments flew everywhere. Fortunately, those who listened to the music were prepared and were not affected or injured.
Huai Mingmo was awakened by the sound of porcelain breaking, he stopped his hands suddenly, and his true qi immediately reversed, thanks to Xu Sheng's timely exercise of kung fu to help him smooth his qi.You don't need to look to know the mess around you, Huai Mingmo murmured: "Is this song a martial art move?"
Xu Sheng put away the piano score and wrapped it in red purple cloud brocade cloth, his expression seemed to be very satisfied, "It's the tune or the moves, it all depends on the player's needs." Perhaps no one has ever been able to talk, and it's rare that someone can talk. For those who suffer, Xu Sheng couldn't help complaining: "You don't know that my little sister Jian has a very weird temper. The daughter's family doesn't like gold and silver and treasure gestures, but prefers to fiddle with music and music scores. But she wants a song that can be used as a trick. Every time I go back to ask her for help, I always give it to her, but now I have given her all the prescriptions that can be given, and the rest is sad and happy. I can only find a way to compose the music myself Send her, I hope she can help."
Xin Li was secretly startled when he heard the words, Huai Mingmo had seen the power of the tune before Huai Mingmo had used his internal strength, he said, "Is this a move you just created?"
Huai Mingmo has been with Xu Sheng for a long time, and he knows more about Xu Sheng's ingenuity, so he can't be surprised when encountering anything, he said with a smile: "So you can't blame people for calling you a wonderful monk, you are not a wonderful person what?"
Xu Sheng frowned slightly when he heard the words, but he couldn't say harsh words to Huai Mingmo, he stood up and took care of himself, "After we have been to the Waterless Palace, we will not go back. Take care of your own things, don't return them when the time comes." Please come back and get it."
Hearing the annoyance in Xu Sheng's words, Huai Mingmo still wanted to tease him, but he was afraid that he would really get annoyed and ignore him, and then thought of his promise to live in the Hermitage Villa for a few days, and felt that the future would be long, so he laughed: " All my things are in the inn at the foot of the mountain, Brother Zheng and the others will take care of them, so I don’t think I’ll miss anything.”
Youdao means that one thing subsides one thing, Xu Sheng's fearless temperament has now met his nemesis, Chen Xiang looked at Huai Mingmo's expression of teasing the landlord, and a peaceful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.She was happy from the bottom of her heart, she had been with Xu Sheng for many years, and was used to seeing the landlord's doing things regardless, and today finally someone can control him, so that he has no worries.Chen Xiang's brows were filled with joy when she thought that Xu Sheng would regret her life more or less in the days to come.
Seeing Chen Xiang's icy face, Xin Li saw Chen Xiang's smiling face in vain, it was just the first thaw of winter snow, and the spring was so beautiful, he couldn't help being a little crazy.Chen Xiang realized that someone was spying on him, so she stared back at Xin Li, seeing Xin Li as an apprentice even more, wishing to poke him blind immediately.
Xu Sheng really had nothing else to do with Huai Mingmo, so he said indifferently: "Let's go."
It took less than two hours for Wuzhilou to go to Shuiwu Palace to use lightness kung fu, and all of them were good at lightness kung fu, but after an hour and a quarter, Xu Sheng had already arrived outside Shuiwu Palace.
The guard maids saw that the person who came was Xu Sheng who showed up early, and saw that Xu Sheng brought two strange men behind him, although they had doubts in their hearts, but they had seen Xu Sheng's temper before, so they thought it would be all right to come with him, So I dare not stop it.The maid in charge came from the palace after hearing the news, saw Xu Sheng hurriedly bowed to the ground to salute, and then hurriedly held up the palace lantern to lead the way.
The Waterless Palace was built in the middle of the mountain, a group of people followed the maid in charge and climbed down the stairs. After walking about a hundred stone steps, they reached the flat ground, and the sound of rumbling water could be heard endlessly.
After a few steps forward, the maid in charge led them onto a wooden platform floating on the water. There were walkways on both sides of the platform, and several temples were scattered at the end of the wooden walkway.Stone lamps are scattered around the wooden path and platform, illuminating the underground water palace as bright as the outside of a cave.The end of the platform is still far away from the Dark Waterfall, but you can already feel the splash of water from the Dark Waterfall, hitting your face cold and cold.
The maid in charge took the man to the end of the platform, and turned the mechanism in one of the stone lanterns around the hidden platform, and soon a thin chain appeared above the dark waterfall and the side of the platform, straightening into a line.
Most of the maids in the lower ranks are newcomers in the palace, and their martial arts skills are still inexperienced. Although they are in charge, this maid is only in charge of the lower ranks, so naturally she has no ability to use the upper ranks of lightness kung fu to get up from the thin chains.She respectfully lowered her hands and lowered her eyebrows, and said in awe: "Please, sir."
"Thank you." Before he finished speaking, Xu Sheng made a point on his feet, and floated up the chain. The chain under his feet didn't seem to be under any force, and he didn't move at all.Chen Xiang followed closely behind and disappeared.
In Lu Ban's trap, Huai Mingmo didn't suspect that false life would be deceitful, so he jumped up and followed behind Chen Xiang.Seeing that the pavilion master was so bold, Xinli couldn't help but sweat for him, and he completely forgot about his own life and death.
When Huai Mingmo landed, Xu Sheng had already been waiting on the high ground, and asked with concern: "Why are you so slow? Is it because of some physical discomfort?"
Huai Mingmo heard that Xu Sheng cared about him, he quickly laughed and said: "This thin iron chain is a bit wobbly, and it is a bit difficult to move."
"If this iron chain bridge is easy to walk, wouldn't everyone be able to come to my Waterless Palace to be wild." Hua Xinglou stared at Huai Mingmo and Xin Li who had just landed, and looked at Xu Sheng again. He rolled his eyes and joked, "When did you go in and out with him?"
Xu Sheng stabbed back, "Shui Wu Gong's way of hospitality has improved more and more."
Shu Muxi said "Hey" all over, and came before anyone came, "I came here uninvited twice in three days, if I say it is an unexpected visitor." , Busy hands folded elders salute.
Huai Mingmo also returned the salute, and then bowed to Huaxinglou.Seeing this, Hua Xinglou's tone was quite polite, "Young Master Huai is here, we are too far away to welcome you, and we are too disrespectful."
Xu Sheng folded his arms and waited impatiently for them to finish their greetings before asking, "Why isn't Miss Jian here?"
Shu Muxi said: "She is concocting medicine in the pharmacy on the lower floor, do you have something to do with her?"
"I came here specially to find her, you said there is nothing wrong?" Xu Sheng turned his head to give Chen Xiang the order, and Chen Xiang immediately took the order and jumped to invite her.
Huaxinglou stepped forward to lead the way, and led them to fly across a chain bridge, and went straight to the side hall of his house.On the round table in the hall, there are already several plates of snacks with tea, as well as some refreshing pickled green plums and candied fruit, etc. There is steam from the spout of the copper pot on the road, and the hot water in the pot is boiling hot.
As usual, I chose the tea leaves, scalded the pot and warmed the cup neatly, brewed the tea at high speed, and defoamed the tea skillfully, all in one go.He filled each cup with tea and distributed it to a table by the Luan mirror.
Putting the Zisha Xishi pot aside, Xu Sheng said: "I came here uninvited, and you are welcome, always entrust me with this job, so I am not afraid that I will poison you in the tea."
Hua Xinglou said with a smile: "We have Miss Jian who is good at poisoning, are we still afraid of you poisoning?" Restraining his joke, he stared at him and said: "I heard that you and Hehuanzhai broke up?"
"I don't see you walking around on weekdays, but I know the news better than anyone else." Xu Sheng smiled softly and calmly, and said slowly: "I don't even know what I am going to do now, so I don't tell you much."
Hua Xinglou didn't look at Xu Sheng after hearing it, and by the flickering candlelight, his eyes stopped on Huai Mingmo, he looked away for a long time, looked back at Xu Sheng and said with a smile: "You are different from before."
Understanding what he meant, Xu Sheng said with a light smile: "It's different, it's not what it used to be."
Shu Muxi also noticed the changes in Xu Sheng, and she actually admired Huai Mingmo in her heart, but seeing that Xu Sheng didn't mean to talk in depth, she changed the topic with a smile, "If you don't have anything to go to the Three Treasures Palace, you came to find Xiaosong this time do what?"
"Anyway, it's not abducting her." Xu Sheng replied habitually, and said with a calm expression, "I want to ask her the prescription for suppressing the You Huan Cup, after all, I'm afraid I won't have much time to come here in the short term. "
Hua Xinglou narrowed his black eyes slightly, and clarified the words, "Are you really planning to break with Lian Xin Huiji and support the third prince to ascend the throne?"
Feeling indebted, Xu Sheng said guiltily: "It's not that I want to help Meng Qingrun, it's just that Meng Yinghuan has repeatedly committed crimes and asked someone to assassinate me. If I really support him to the top, the catastrophe will not be far away. How can I be with Lian Xin?" Hui Ji will cooperate again." Xu Sheng looked at the calm expressions of the two, and sighed: "I am sorry for you, for breaking the promise back then. After tonight is over, I don't dare to bother you any more."
"What method did you use to deal with him?" Hua Xinglou objected Huai Mingmo with a smile, "I've known him for over twenty years, and this is the first time I've heard him speak so humbly."
Huai Mingmo shook his head with a smile, "I'm not sure about his temper, how can I control it."
Taking advantage of Xu Sheng's astonishment, Shu Muxi quickly interjected and teased: "Finally, I'm a little popular, better than the previous appearance of not being touched by the world." Seeing Xu Sheng recovering, Shu Muxi smiled lightly, and said slowly: "Actually, we I also know that if the overthrow of the Meng family disturbs the peace of Beimeng, the lost relatives will not be able to come back. If we really want to change the dynasty, there will only be more innocent people like us. If a cruel monarch comes to power, the punishment will not be The Meng family, but the people of the world."
Xu Sheng was dumbfounded and said: "You..."
Given this rare opportunity, Hua Xinglou simply opened up the conversation, "Although we have never had contact with Lian Xin Hui Ji, we have probably figured out this person from your frequent letters. A person who can be with each other for a long time. And the fourth prince Meng Yinghuan is not worth mentioning. If he wants to seize the heir, he may not be able to accommodate you and me." Huaxinglou's bright eyes brightened, and he restrained his unruly appearance in the past. He put his hand on Xu Sheng's shoulder, "Mu Xi and I have long since lost that thought. In the past, you were obsessed with it, so it was inconvenient for us to persuade you. Today, it's good that you can think clearly."
"It's useless to think clearly." Xu Sheng fingered the newly acquired coral string, sighed and said helplessly: "Unless the crown prince sits firmly in the reserve position, otherwise I will not be able to withdraw."
Shu Muxi suggested: "You find a way to let the prince stay with that person for a while longer, and find a way to escape by yourself during this period, it's fine."
"No, Xu Shengyuan has already got involved with the Fourth Prince, and was favored by the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince a while ago. It's not so easy to retreat." Although the Xuanji Pavilion is full of outsiders' eyeliner, it is still operating normally.Huaiming Moyuan is in Lianqi Mountain, but he is generally aware of the situation in the court, so he dismissed it: "The second prince seems to have noticed Xu Sheng because the third prince has also noticed it. Now it is very difficult for him to get rid of this hot potato."
Huaxinglou came up with another bad idea: "You can't stay in Beimeng, just go to Xishu to avoid trouble."
One idea was worse than the other, Xu Sheng saw the depressing look of the two of them thinking hard, shook his head and smiled lightly, "You want me to step into the wolf's den just after leaving the tiger's den? Don't you know what's going on in Xishu now? I That old brother is still trying his best to get out, and I can't make trouble."
Huai Mingmo thought for a while and said: "The matter is a foregone conclusion, you might as well find a way to let me grow up... the prince will be dismissed as soon as possible. While the emperor is still in good health, prepare for the third prince early, so as not to be in danger." Huai Ming Mo said Dun Si Xu, did not say any disrespectful words, only said: "It is better to get twice the result with half the effort than to be caught off guard."
In terms of understanding of the things around Emperor Meng, Xu Sheng is definitely not as good as Huai Ming. When he saw what Huai Mingmo said, even if he didn't ask carefully, he knew something in his heart.The coral string in his hand made a "click" sound as he lowered it, and said with a light smile, "It's not difficult for you to realize your wish. If you secretly remove the guardians, you don't need to do more. The place in the capital, the land of tigers and wolves, I only need to do it a little bit." Just arrange a few people to save his life."
Shu Muxi racked her brains and said, "Isn't Concubine Wan just in favor? With such great favor, it's not difficult to ask for mercy for a deposed prince and save his life."
Seeing Xin Li's delicate expression, Hua Xinglou felt more ashamed, and reached out to knock the elm head, "There are so many gossips in the capital, if Concubine Wan asks for mercy, wouldn't those rumors be substantiated. The prince's life is still on the line." .”
Still unconvinced, Shu Muxi straightened her back and raised her voice a little higher, "Since the change of dynasties, great things must have happened to Yi Chu, and most of the charges were treason. Presumably those few princes who were eyeing tigers were also plotting against each other. In this regard, treason should be punished, if no one intercedes, how can the prince's life be saved?"
"Concubine Ji is in power for one day, and the crown prince will be able to keep it. The emperor has affection for Concubine Ji, and the old ministers are grateful to Concubine Ji. No matter how much Concubine Wan is favored, as long as Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine is always in good faith, Emperor Meng will not treat her like that. .Since the concubine is fine, Emperor Meng will not kill them all in her face. In the end, it is not for the sake of husband and wife, but also for his own safety. Concubine Ji is not a weak woman. Although no one is in the family behind her , can't shake Chao Gang, but entering the palace late at night to take his life is very simple." Xu Sheng's tone was firm and his expression was indifferent, all the big things became trivial things that were not worth mentioning in front of him.
In fact, Xu Sheng was roughly [-]% sure of what he said, but Huai Mingmo didn't say anything all day long, but he couldn't hide the sadness in his eyebrows, so Xu Sheng said something to reassure him.As for the [-]% that is still uncertain, because of Huai Mingmo, he has to fight for it to make his ears quieter in the future.
It takes a long time to refine medicine pills. After talking for a while, Chen Xiang and Jian Wensong still haven't come back, so Huaxinglou sent Luan Jing to see what happened.Not long after, Luan Jing came back and reported that Jian Wensong would be ready for half an hour. He had already talked for a long time, and it would be tiring to say more.
Nothing happened, Xu Sheng remembered that he had never entered the practice room of Shuinan Palace, so he said he would take a look.Since they belonged to the same sect, Huaxinglou didn't feel that Xusheng's request was unreasonable, so he immediately agreed readily. Even so, he didn't stop Huai Mingmo from going with him, and he brought him into the cave hidden in the dark waterfall behind his house. Practice hole.Swimming in the cave, Huai Mingmo finally learned that Xu Sheng's inner strength method is called Mingxiang Divine Art, and he also knows that it is dangerous to practice this Mingxiang Divine Art to the tenth level.So when he heard that Xu Sheng was currently going through the tenth difficulty, he couldn't help worrying about Xu Sheng, and made a silent decision in his heart to stay by Xu Sheng's side for the next few months.
Jian Wensong has been in and out of the medicine stove all the year round, with a scent of medicine on his body, which wafts away before people feel it.Huai Mingmo was familiar with the scent of the medicine, and when they arrived, Xinli saw that she had indeed met a foreign woman at the Liuxian Inn.Jian Wensong has half of the Qiang blood in the Western Regions, with deep eyes, a high nose, and the gentle and beautiful cheeks of a Han woman, exuding a special charm.
After taking the brocade cloth bag from Xu Sheng, Jian Wensong took out the music score packaged into a book and looked at it carefully. His face was expressionless, and it took a long time before he showed a satisfied expression.But being satisfied with the tune does not mean that she is satisfied with the moves contained in the tune, she immediately asked Luan Jing to get the piano, and unceremoniously asked Xu Sheng to play a tune.
Xu Sheng couldn't shirk his excuses, so he asked the court lady to bring a low piano table, and sat cross-legged on the futon, there was a sound of startling, the dark waterfall immediately splashed, and the dark lake on the lower floor was surging with waves.
She was about to play another note, but Shu Muxi was willing to take the risk of injury, pressing down on the strings with one palm, "Are you two conspiring to tear down the Waterless Palace?"
Xu Sheng suddenly thought of the environment he was in. If this song is finished, the Shuinan Palace will be in a mess, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "If you don't mind, Miss Jian, I'll take the piano out and play a song for you?"
Jian Wensong happily asked the maid who served her to put away the score, and it was rare to be polite to Xu Sheng, "No need, what you brought is not bad." While speaking, she took out a piece of paper full of medicine from her sleeve pocket , "There are two kinds of medicine on this, which can't be found in Zhongyuan. You have to send people to Herong Town to buy them regularly."
Even the order in which the medicines were administered was carefully noted on the prescription. The ink was written not long ago, so it was obviously written by Jian Wensong before he came.It was the first time for Xu Sheng to receive this kind of treatment, and he was not used to seeing Jian Wensong treat him badly.
Xu Sheng has a very good memory, he only read it twice and wrote down the words, and said calmly: "The pharmacy in He Rong Town is opened by Mr. Bian Ji's subordinates, just ask him to buy more goods from the merchants."
Huai Mingmo teased: "No wonder you spend extravagantly on food and clothing, so you have property everywhere."
After hearing this, Xu Sheng raised his head, smiled lightly and replied: "How can anyone make a fortune from a drug store?"
Xinli has managed the Xuanji Pavilion for many years, and when he rolled his eyes, he immediately understood the key points, and said with his palm: "People eat whole grains, and they will inevitably suffer from some diseases. If they are sick, they must go to the doctor. No one can escape from the palace to the common people. Get rid of this rule. People, when you are sick, you are the weakest. If you are less vigilant, your mouth will not be stricter than usual, and you must leak some secrets. Besides, it is not easy to enter the inner house, but the doctor will not be hindered. It is really good to inquire or secretly investigate the news Useful. After all, it is so open and aboveboard that it is not easy to make people suspicious."
Xu Sheng stared intently at Xin Li for a long time, really wanted to take him under his command, but it was only a momentary thought, so he shook his head without thinking about it.
Huaiming Moyuan came to Xinli to talk about this matter, but he didn't expect that Xinli had predicted what he was thinking, so he went ahead and ordered him to go on. He looked awkward for a while, and didn't know what to say, so he let Xinli comb his hair.
Xu Sheng heard the words and said with a smile: "I know you better than him." His mind was on the music score again, sometimes Xu Sheng frowned slightly, and sometimes smiled lightly, waiting for the boy to bring the heat into the room early, Xu Sheng didn't bother.After struggling to compose the song, he stuffed the song into Huai Mingmo's hands again, "Is it okay?"

He was gradually addicted to this vigorous tune, but the more he played with his fingertips, the more genuine energy he felt in his fingers.He plucked the strings in tune with the tune, and immediately the bowls and dishes shattered, and the fragments flew everywhere. Fortunately, those who listened to the music were prepared and were not affected or injured.
Huai Mingmo was awakened by the sound of porcelain breaking, he stopped his hands suddenly, and his true qi immediately reversed, thanks to Xu Sheng's timely exercise of kung fu to help him smooth his qi.You don't need to look to know the mess around you, Huai Mingmo murmured: "Is this song a martial art move?"
Xu Sheng put away the piano score and wrapped it in red purple cloud brocade cloth, his expression seemed to be very satisfied, "It's the tune or the moves, it all depends on the player's needs." Perhaps no one has ever been able to talk, and it's rare that someone can talk. For those who suffer, Xu Sheng couldn't help complaining: "You don't know that my little sister Jian has a very weird temper. The daughter's family doesn't like gold and silver and treasure gestures, but prefers to fiddle with music and music scores. But she wants a song that can be used as a trick.

Xu Sheng frowned slightly when he heard the words, but he couldn't say harsh words to Huai Mingmo, he stood up and took care of himself, "After we have been to the Waterless Palace, we will not go back. Take care of your own things, don't return them when the time comes." Please come back and get it."

"Anyway, it's not abducting her." Xu Sheng replied habitually, and said with a calm expression, "I want to ask her the prescription for suppressing the You Huan Cup, after all, I'm afraid I won't have much time to come here in the short term. "
Hua Xinglou narrowed his black eyes slightly, and clarified the words, "Are you really planning to break with Lian Xin Huiji and support the third prince to ascend the throne?"
Feeling indebted, Xu Sheng said guiltily: "It's not that I want to help Meng Qingrun, it's just that Meng Yinghuan has repeatedly committed crimes and asked someone to assassinate me. If I really support him to the top, the catastrophe will not be far away. How can I be with Lian Xin?" Hui Ji will cooperate again." Xu Sheng looked at the calm expressions of the two, and sighed: "I am sorry for you, for breaking the promise back then. After tonight is over, I don't dare to bother you any more."
"What method did you use to deal with him?" Hua Xinglou objected Huai Mingmo with a smile, "I've known him for over twenty years, and this is the first time I've heard him speak so humbly."
Huai Mingmo shook his head with a smile, "I'm not sure about his temper, how can I control it."
Taking advantage of Xu Sheng's astonishment, Shu Muxi quickly interjected and teased: "Finally, I'm a little popular, better than the previous appearance of not being touched by the world." Seeing Xu Sheng recovering, Shu Muxi smiled lightly, and said slowly: "Actually, we I also know that if the overthrow of the Meng family disturbs the peace of Beimeng, the lost relatives will not be able to come back. If we really want to change the dynasty, there will only be more innocent people like us. If a cruel monarch comes to power, the punishment will not be The Meng family, but the people of the world."
Xu Sheng was dumbfounded and said: "You..."
Given this rare opportunity, Hua Xinglou simply opened up the conversation, "Although we have never had contact with Lian Xin Hui Ji, we have probably figured out this person from your frequent letters. A person who can be with each other for a long time. And the fourth prince Meng Yinghuan is not worth mentioning. If he wants to seize the heir, he may not be able to accommodate you and me." Huaxinglou's bright eyes brightened, and he restrained his unruly appearance in the past. He put his hand on Xu Sheng's shoulder, "Mu Xi and I have long since lost that thought. In the past, you were obsessed with it, so it was inconvenient for us to persuade you. Today, it's good that you can think clearly."
"It's useless to think clearly." Xu Sheng fingered the newly acquired coral string, sighed and said helplessly: "Unless the crown prince sits firmly in the reserve position, otherwise I will not be able to withdraw."
Shu Muxi suggested: "You find a way to let the prince stay with that person for a while longer, and find a way to escape by yourself during this period, it's fine."
"No, Xu Shengyuan has already got involved with the Fourth Prince, and was favored by the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince a while ago. It's not so easy to retreat." Although the Xuanji Pavilion is full of outsiders' eyeliner, it is still operating normally.Huaiming Moyuan is in Lianqi Mountain, but he is generally aware of the situation in the court, so he dismissed it: "The second prince seems to have noticed Xu Sheng because the third prince has also noticed it. Now it is very difficult for him to get rid of this hot potato."
Huaxinglou came up with another bad idea: "You can't stay in Beimeng, just go to Xishu to avoid trouble."
One idea was worse than the other, Xu Sheng saw the depressing look of the two of them thinking hard, shook his head and smiled lightly, "You want me to step into the wolf's den just after leaving the tiger's den? Don't you know what's going on in Xishu now? I That old brother is still trying his best to get out, and I can't make trouble."
Huai Mingmo thought for a while and said: "The matter is a foregone conclusion, you might as well find a way to let me grow up... the prince will be dismissed as soon as possible. While the emperor is still in good health, prepare for the third prince early, so as not to be in danger." Huai Ming Mo said Dun Si Xu, did not say any disrespectful words, only said: "It is better to get twice the result with half the effort than to be caught off guard."
In terms of understanding of the things around Emperor Meng, Xu Sheng is definitely not as good as Huai Ming. When he saw what Huai Mingmo said, even if he didn't ask carefully, he knew something in his heart.The coral string in his hand made a "click" sound as he lowered it, and said with a light smile, "It's not difficult for you to realize your wish. If you secretly remove the guardians, you don't need to do more. The place in the capital, the land of tigers and wolves, I only need to do it a little bit." Just arrange a few people to save his life."
Shu Muxi racked her brains and said, "Isn't Concubine Wan just in favor? With such great favor, it's not difficult to ask for mercy for a deposed prince and save his life."
Seeing Xin Li's delicate expression, Hua Xinglou felt more ashamed, and reached out to knock the elm head, "There are so many gossips in the capital, if Concubine Wan asks for mercy, wouldn't those rumors be substantiated. The prince's life is still on the line." .”
Still unconvinced, Shu Muxi straightened her back and raised her voice a little higher, "Since the change of dynasties, great things must have happened to Yi Chu, and most of the charges were treason. Presumably those few princes who were eyeing tigers were also plotting against each other. In this regard, treason should be punished, if no one intercedes, how can the prince's life be saved?"
"Concubine Ji is in power for one day, and the crown prince will be able to keep it. The emperor has affection for Concubine Ji, and the old ministers are grateful to Concubine Ji. No matter how much Concubine Wan is favored, as long as Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine is always in good faith, Emperor Meng will not treat her like that. .Since the concubine is fine, Emperor Meng will not kill them all in her face. In the end, it is not for the sake of husband and wife, but also for his own safety. Concubine Ji is not a weak woman. Although no one is in the family behind her , can't shake Chao Gang, but entering the palace late at night to take his life is very simple." Xu Sheng's tone was firm and his expression was indifferent, all the big things became trivial things that were not worth mentioning in front of him.
In fact, Xu Sheng was roughly [-]% sure of what he said, but Huai Mingmo didn't say anything all day long, but he couldn't hide the sadness in his eyebrows, so Xu Sheng said something to reassure him.As for the [-]% that is still uncertain, because of Huai Mingmo, he has to fight for it to make his ears quieter in the future.
It takes a long time to refine medicine pills. After talking for a while, Chen Xiang and Jian Wensong still haven't come back, so Huaxinglou sent Luan Jing to see what happened.Not long after, Luan Jing came back and reported that Jian Wensong would be ready for half an hour. He had already talked for a long time, and it would be tiring to say more.
Nothing happened, Xu Sheng remembered that he had never entered the practice room of Shuinan Palace, so he said he would take a look.Since they belonged to the same sect, Huaxinglou didn't feel that Xusheng's request was unreasonable, so he immediately agreed readily. Even so, he didn't stop Huai Mingmo from going with him, and he brought him into the cave hidden in the dark waterfall behind his house. Practice hole.Swimming in the cave, Huai Mingmo finally learned that Xu Sheng's inner strength method is called Mingxiang Divine Art, and he also knows that it is dangerous to practice this Mingxiang Divine Art to the tenth level.So when he heard that Xu Sheng was currently going through the tenth difficulty, he couldn't help worrying about Xu Sheng, and made a silent decision in his heart to stay by Xu Sheng's side for the next few months.
Jian Wensong has been in and out of the medicine stove all the year round, with a scent of medicine on his body, which wafts away before people feel it.Huai Mingmo was familiar with the scent of the medicine, and when they arrived, Xinli saw that she had indeed met a foreign woman at the Liuxian Inn.Jian Wensong has half of the Qiang blood in the Western Regions, with deep eyes, a high nose, and the gentle and beautiful cheeks of a Han woman, exuding a special charm.
After taking the brocade cloth bag from Xu Sheng, Jian Wensong took out the music score packaged into a book and looked at it carefully. His face was expressionless, and it took a long time before he showed a satisfied expression.But being satisfied with the tune does not mean that she is satisfied with the moves contained in the tune, she immediately asked Luan Jing to get the piano, and unceremoniously asked Xu Sheng to play a tune.
Xu Sheng couldn't shirk his excuses, so he asked the court lady to bring a low piano table, and sat cross-legged on the futon, there was a sound of startling, the dark waterfall immediately splashed, and the dark lake on the lower floor was surging with waves.
She was about to play another note, but Shu Muxi was willing to take the risk of injury, pressing down on the strings with one palm, "Are you two conspiring to tear down the Waterless Palace?"
Xu Sheng suddenly thought of the environment he was in. If this song is finished, the Shuinan Palace will be in a mess, so he hurriedly said with a smile: "If you don't mind, Miss Jian, I'll take the piano out and play a song for you?"
Jian Wensong happily asked the maid who served her to put away the score, and it was rare to be polite to Xu Sheng, "No need, what you brought is not bad." While speaking, she took out a piece of paper full of medicine from her sleeve pocket , "There are two kinds of medicine on this, which can't be found in Zhongyuan. You have to send people to Herong Town to buy them regularly."
Even the order in which the medicines were administered was carefully noted on the prescription. The ink was written not long ago, so it was obviously written by Jian Wensong before he came.It was the first time for Xu Sheng to receive this kind of treatment, and he was not used to seeing Jian Wensong treat him badly.
Xu Sheng has a very good memory, he only read it twice and wrote down the words, and said calmly: "The pharmacy in He Rong Town is opened by Mr. Bian Ji's subordinates, just ask him to buy more goods from the merchants."
Huai Mingmo teased: "No wonder you spend extravagantly on food and clothing, so you have property everywhere."
After hearing this, Xu Sheng raised his head, smiled lightly and replied: "How can anyone make a fortune from a drug store?"
Xinli has managed the Xuanji Pavilion for many years, and when he rolled his eyes, he immediately understood the key points, and said with his palm: "People eat whole grains, and they will inevitably suffer from some diseases. If they are sick, they must go to the doctor. No one can escape from the palace to the common people. Get rid of this rule. People, when you are sick, you are the weakest. If you are less vigilant, your mouth will not be stricter than usual, and you must leak some secrets. Besides, it is not easy to enter the inner house, but the doctor will not be hindered. It is really good to inquire or secretly investigate the news Useful. After all, it is so open and aboveboard that it is not easy to make people suspicious."
Xu Sheng stared intently at Xin Li for a long time, really wanted to take him under his command, but it was only a momentary thought, so he shook his head without thinking about it.
