"Brother Hou, why are you here?" Xuan Cheng reined in the horse and stopped firmly in front of the man, overjoyed.

With a Hexi smile on Zhao Yuanqiao's face, he saluted respectfully: "His Royal Highness, after receiving the princess's message from Feige, ordered his ministers to welcome the princess here."

Zhao Yuanqiao's mother is the younger sister of the current Holy Majesty, Princess Dayu, who is Xuancheng's aunt.His father was Marquis of Wuding Zhao Hongchi, who had made military achievements, and once rode with the emperor on horseback, conquering the great territory of Dayu.After the emperor ascended the throne, he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds. He was named Marquis Wu Ding, who was in charge of the Jinwu Guard in the inner palace, rewarded with ten thousand hectares of fertile land, sheltered his descendants, and married his younger sister, the eldest princess, to him.

And he himself is the eldest son of the family. Although he is not yet an adult, he is proficient in everything. In his character, he has the wisdom of the eldest princess and the bravery of Wu Dinghou. In appearance, he combines the strengths of his parents At the same time, there is still a bit of Fengshen and handsome like the saint when he was young, and he is deeply favored by the saint, and it will be a matter of time before he becomes a prince.

In terms of seniority, he is the nephew of the current emperor and the cousin of Xuancheng.So Xuancheng called him Cousin Hou Ye in private.

"Brother Prince sent you here?" Xuancheng asked eagerly, "How is Father's health?"

"Princess... Cousin, don't worry, my mother went to the palace to take care of my uncle a few days ago, and when she came back, she said that there is an imperial doctor in the palace serving day and night, and my uncle is safe and sound." Seeing someone passing by, Zhao Yuanqiao temporarily changed his honorific name to prevent people from being attracted for no reason. gaze.

"That's good." Xuancheng heaved a sigh of relief, it was not too late.

While they were talking, Chai Longwei and others rushed up.Chai Longwei dismounted first and saluted Zhao Yuanqiao.

Zhao Yuanqiao gave him a little support to get him up, looked back and saw many injured people in the team, and asked in surprise: "You... what's wrong?"

Speaking of this, Xuancheng became unhappy, and said: "We were assassinated on the way back."

"Who has the guts to assassinate you and deceive me? After I go back, I will ask my father to find out who is behind the scenes and punish him severely!" Zhao Yuanqiao was furious, and at the same time worried about Xuancheng: "The princess, you Are you injured?"

"It's nothing, the Chai guards have protected the palace very well." Xuancheng denied it, and at the same time did not forget to give Chai Longwei credit.

"That's good." Zhao Yuanqiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Why is there no sign of the genius doctor?" He didn't see the shadow of the carriage in the team, and thought that something happened to the genius doctor during the assassination.

Xuancheng looked around, because there were quite a few of them, and some of them were injured, people passing by couldn't help but look at them more, and some even stopped to watch.

"Cousin Hou, it's not good for us to stand here and talk all the time, why don't we get on the horse and talk while walking?"

Zhao Yuanqiao only noticed this after being reminded by her: "Alright."

During the long journey from the city gate to the imperial palace, Xuancheng told Zhao Yuanqiao everything that happened during the journey, except for the part where Shu Dianhe bullied her.In case she, the cousin of Lord Hou who inherited half of his father's violent temper and who is protective of his shortcomings, will find trouble with Shu Dianhe.

At first, Zhao Yuanqiao didn't believe that Shu Dianhe, who looked younger than himself, could cure the emperor's difficult illness, but under Xuancheng's hint, he had no choice but to understand that this was a last resort, so he didn't say anything more.

Zhao Yuanqiao sent them to the gate of the palace, did his duty, and planned to leave.

"Cousin Hou, won't you go to see the prince with us?" Xuancheng asked.

Zhao Yuanqiao liked his cousin very much, and said with a smile: "No, there is still something at home, I will deal with it when I go back. After seeing His Royal Highness, please ask the princess to say hello to His Royal Highness for me. And this time I came here in a hurry, no What gift to bring you. When I enter the palace next time, I will remember to bring you a bunch of candied haws."

"It's a deal!" Xuancheng had a preference for sweets since childhood, but the nuns in the palace were afraid that she would spoil her teeth, so they never let her eat more.Not to mention the candied haws outside the palace.It wasn't until she learned how to sneak out of the palace that she realized that there is such a wonderful food in the world.

Entering through the main entrance of the palace, everyone got off their horses, unloaded their weapons, and walked through the outer palace to the front of the inner palace.Chai Longwei and others could only send the princess and Shu Dianhe here.On the next road, their status is too low to move forward.

Before Chai Longwei and others left, Xuancheng specially tore off his waist badge and handed it to Chai Longwei, asking them to go to Tai Hospital to re-bandage the wound with good golden sore medicine.

All the guards thanked him again and then took their leave.

"Brother Prince, I'm back!" Outside the emperor's bedroom, Xuancheng's figure had not yet appeared, but the voice came one step ahead.

She trotted all the way, and did not take the usual path, and came directly on the snow, full of joy, thinking that she would see her own father and brother soon.

The middle-ranking maids I met along the way didn't even have time to kneel down and salute, and they disappeared, leaving only footprints of different shades in the snow.

Before Xuancheng came to the emperor's bedroom, he didn't get the expected response and was wondering.

The emperor personally served Zuo Huai, the head of the middle officials, and came out of the palace to take a look after hearing the sound.

I saw Xuancheng's petite body, wearing a light pink cloak, standing in front of the hall, a small face was flushed by the cold wind, there was no ornament in the black hair, only snowflakes dotted in twos and threes, feet Putting on the originally clean white boots, because there is no time to take care of them, they will inevitably be stained with dirt.At first glance, he just came back from the road, and came to see his father before taking a rest. I feel sorry for him.

Zuo Huai's old face, which was like rubbing white powder, wrinkled, and hurried forward to help Xuancheng pat off the snowflakes on his body, half moved, half distressed, and said: "My princess and aunt, please be careful! You Looking at the snow all over your body, what if you catch a cold? If the emperor sees it, you should scold the servants again."

Both Xuancheng and the prince grew up on Zuo Huai's back, and he loved them as much as his own children.

As for Xuancheng and the crown prince, they never underestimated Zuo Huai because he was only a mid-level official, treating him as a childhood playmate, even an elder.

Xuancheng didn't care about himself, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Zuobanban, why don't you see my prince?" At the same time, he stretched his neck and looked at the palace behind Zuohuai, "How is my father?"

Zuo Huai explained while brushing the white snow from her hair, "The princess is not in a hurry. The prince has something to go to the court. He just left and should be back soon."

"It's fine, your majesty, just wait for the miracle doctor brought back by the princess, and the emperor will surely recover." At the same time, he looked behind Xuancheng and asked, "Where is the miracle doctor brought by the princess?"

Speaking of this, Xuancheng almost forgot that as soon as he entered the palace, he was like a dove whose wings had been loosened. He ran over recklessly along the way. He didn't care about Shu Dianhe, and he didn't know if he followed. .

Turning around and looking, to her surprise, Shu Dianhe was standing two or three steps away from her, with a dignified demeanor, well-behaved behavior, and fixed eyes, neither like an unsophisticated person from the mountains, nor like a It is the person who looks around with curiosity because it is the first time to enter the palace.

The few days of exhaustion didn't damage his energy, and he didn't even relax his shoulders, as if he should have been standing there in the first place.The only thing that doesn't fit the sentiment is the oversized jacket on his body.

Shu Dianhe didn't have Xuancheng's introduction, and didn't know how to address the person in front of him, so he went forward and bowed to Zuo Huai first.She is good at lightness kung fu, she followed closely behind Xuancheng, not halfway behind her.When she arrived in front of the emperor's bedroom, Xuancheng was already sweating, but her breath was still calm.

Zuo Huai closed Shu Dian up and down to look him up and down, his complicated thoughts didn't show on his face, he still smiled and praised: "I never thought that the genius doctor is so young."

"Shall I go in and see Father?" Xuancheng asked Zuo Huai's opinion, she couldn't wait to see Father who was worried day and night during this time.

"The emperor has just fallen asleep, if the princess wants to see the emperor, she must enter quietly." Zuo Huai said.

Xuancheng understood, she took two steps forward, saw Shu Dianhe was still standing there, turned around again, lightly tugged on Shu Dianhe's sleeve, motioning her to follow him in.

Zuo Huai opened the palace door for them, and they walked in cautiously.

In the huge palace, it was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard clearly.As far as the eye can see, they are all carved beams and painted buildings with originality.In the courtyard, there is a golden dragon with its teeth and claws hovering. It seems that it will fly down at any time and swallow the people standing under it.Every utensil placed in the palace is an ingenious and rare treasure.

This is just a bedroom, and the imagined Guidianlan Palace is nothing more than that.

Benzoin was burning in the big-bellied bronze incense burner that could not be embraced by one person, and the faint fragrance emitted was mixed with the smell of medicine.

Shu Dianhe moved his nose, and got a general idea of ​​the prescriptions that the emperor took daily.

Bypassing a gold-woven white crane screen, Shu Dianhe finally met the most noble in the world and the emperor she was about to heal.

At this time, he was lying on the dragon bed, covered with a bright yellow brocade, without the domineering aura of an emperor or the dignity of the emperor as he imagined, more like an old man suffering from illness.

Xuancheng approached the bed, looked at his father silently for a while, then picked up the soft handkerchief beside the bed, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Shu Dianhe couldn't see her expression clearly, he didn't know if she was worried or anxious at the moment?

When she was in a daze, Xuancheng softly recalled her thoughts.

She took a closer look, Xuancheng had already pulled her father's hand out of the quilt, and put it on a soft cushion, motioning her to take a quick look, his eyes were filled with the concern of a daughter eager to know her father's physical condition.

Shu Dian sat down neatly on the small stool beside the bed, rolled up his sleeves, and placed his two onion-like fingers on the pulse of the emperor's wrist accurately.

Time passed by bit by bit, for Shu Dianhe, she just closed her eyes, but for Xuancheng, it was like years, like sitting on pins and needles, she bit her lower lip nervously.

The air seemed to freeze until it was broken by an unexpected intruder.

The author has something to say:

Xuancheng: Deng Tuzi, come and see that this is your future Emperor Yue.

Shu frowned: Didn't I just let you teach the horse a little bit, so you're relying on me?
