Pregnant with His Highness' cub before becoming a monk

The rain outside hadn't stopped that day, and it continued to fall after nightfall.

Everyone had no choice but to continue their journey in such a heavy rain, so they could only temporarily rest in the farmhouse that night.

The farmhouse was already a bit dilapidated, but with a little tidying up, it was still passable for a night.

It happened that the east and west of the farmhouse had two wing rooms, Shifang and Shijiu occupied one room, and those who came later occupied the other room.

Shi Fang found a broom, swept the couch several times, and then spread a blanket on it, letting Shi Jiu lie down with all his clothes on and fall asleep for the night.He himself found an old futon, sat cross-legged on the other side of the room and meditated with his eyes closed.

The sound of rain kept coming from outside, Shi Fang sat there quietly, but he still couldn't get into samadhi.

After nightfall, the chill in the house became heavier, and the coughing in the opposite wing could be heard across a room in the ten directions.No need to ask, the voice must have come from the young man, because only one of them had a sick face, presumably because of a cold.

Shi Fang concentrated his mind, but the coughing sound continued intermittently, which made him a little anxious.

In the end, Shifang still couldn't hold back, got up and left the house.

In the main room, there were two people guarding the fire, one of them was resting with his eyes closed, and the other one with a beard looked very sober, and he should be taking turns with the other person to watch the night.

Seeing Shi Fang coming out of the room, the latter nodded to him as a greeting.He thought it was convenient for Shifang to come out at this moment, but he didn't expect that Shifang's eyes passed him, and looked directly at the room behind him where the coughing sound came from.

"That young master seems to be suffering from a cold?" Shi Fang asked.

"It's the first time for my young master to travel far away, and the journey is a bit rushed. In addition, the temperature has dropped suddenly in the past few days, and he got sick if he didn't pay attention." The bearded man explained to Shifang: "Tomorrow is coming soon. In that city, just ask a doctor to take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, there were several suppressed coughing sounds from the back room.

Shi Fang frowned and said: "I'm not talented, I have some medical skills, if you don't mind, can I let you diagnose the young master's pulse?"

The bearded man was taken aback when he heard the words, as if he wanted to refuse, but he was a little uncertain.

Shifang's proposal was well-intentioned, and it would be unreasonable for him to refuse rashly.

But if he agrees, I don't know if he will...

Before he could speak, another person in the room came out and said to Shifang, "Mr. Lao will treat my young master."

After the man finished speaking, he bowed to Shi Fang and Shi Fang saw this and went to the back room where the young man was.

The young man was originally lying on his side on the couch, but when he saw Shi Fang coming in, he sat up.

Shifang saw that his complexion was worse than when he first came, and his coughing seemed to be more frequent.

"Thank you, sir." The young man stretched out his wrist and handed it to Shi Fang. Shi Fang hesitated for a moment, but still pretended to put it on.

Although he has learned some medical skills from Chu Yunfeng, but what he knows is only superficial. It is okay to make a poison and prepare a medicine, but he is actually not good at pulse diagnosis.

Seeing Shifang lowered his eyes, he seemed to be very devoted to the diagnosis.The boy said again: "Sir, you are away from home. Don't be too enthusiastic about strangers you don't know. You should be more careful."

Shi Fang was startled when he heard the words, and looked at the young man with some puzzlement, as if he didn't expect the other party to say such words to him.

The young man was afraid that he would be overwhelmed, so he explained: "My family has been a businessman for generations. My father told me these principles. I see that you are kind-hearted. I am afraid that you will be so enthusiastic wherever you go. If you encounter bad people, you may suffer. That's when I reminded you, don't blame Mr. Wang."

The young man said this very sincerely, and Shi Fang was very moved when he heard it.

"Thank you for reminding me, little brother. I will keep it in my heart." Shi Fang smiled at the young man, and then took the initiative to explain: "Today is so abrupt, I just saw that you are about the same age as my brother in my family. I heard you coughing all the time, and suddenly thought It seems that he was not in good health when he was young, so he couldn't bear it... I was afraid that your illness would get worse again, so I couldn't resist coming to disturb you."

Hearing this, the young man raised his eyes to look in all directions, and a hint of redness quickly appeared in his eyes.

But he quickly turned his head away from Shifang's sight, trying to make himself look more natural.

"Has the young master been seriously ill before?" Shi Fang asked without noticing his strangeness.

"Yeah." The boy responded, and said, "When I was young... I was ill, but I've recovered."

Shi Fang nodded, and said: "That's good, don't be careless now that you are running around outside, or your health will not be good, and the family members should worry."

"Your brother... how is he doing now?" the boy asked Shi Fang secretly.

"He's very well, and there are safe people around to take care of him, so I don't need to worry about it." After Shi Fang said that, he withdrew his hand from the boy's wrist.

After pretending to be diagnosed for a long while, Shifang actually found nothing.

The only thing he could judge was that the young man's pulse was a little fast, maybe it was caused by this disease.

The boy's wrist was originally cool, but after being touched by Shifang's warm fingers, it became slightly warm.Now that warmth is suddenly withdrawn, the young man just feels empty in his heart, and can't help feeling a little bit reluctant.It's just that he still doesn't show it on his face, and he doesn't look strange.

"Young master, I can't cure your illness with my poor medical skills, but I have some nourishing medicine with me. Although it may not cure your illness, it should be beneficial to your body." Shi Fang took out a small pill. Holding the pill in his hand, he said, "It's just that we met by chance, if you are wary that I dare not take it, then take it first, and ask a doctor to test it for you in the town ahead tomorrow..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt his palms warm up, and the young man leaned over to touch his hand and ate the pill.The boy's actions just now were a little out of step, but Shifang only treated him as a child, without any speculation, so he didn't think there was anything wrong.

"Thank you sir." The boy said.

Shifang smiled faintly, and said again: "If you are afraid of the cold, ask them to prepare a heater for you when you go out in the future. After autumn, it will be very cold, so you should have thicker blankets on the carriage."

"I've made a note, and I'll definitely let them prepare it when I come out next time." The boy said seriously.

Shi Fang smiled at him again when he heard the words, then got up and left.

When Shi Fang returned to the room on the other side, Shi Jiuzheng turned over and seemed to have woken up a long time ago.

Shi Jiu was born as a guard with excellent hearing, and Shi Fang didn't deliberately lower his voice to avoid people when talking to the boy, so even if they were separated by a room, she could vaguely hear the conversation between the two. Fang gave the boy a pill.

"This medicine is so precious. Mr. Chu only gave you three pills in total. It was used to save your life in an emergency. You are generous." Shi Jiu lowered his voice and said to Shi Fang: "When we meet by chance, I will give you a medicine. grain."

Shi Fang smiled, threw a small porcelain bottle to Shi Jiu, and said, "The remaining two are for you."

"Brother!" Shi Jiu said, "You know what I mean!"

Of course Shifang knew what she meant. They were away from home now, and they were uncertain about what they would encounter in the future. With the life-saving pills given by Chu Yunfeng by their side, they might be able to save their lives when critical times came.

But Shifang is a practitioner, and he is not particularly attached to his own life.

In the past, he couldn't die in the capital because that would affect the imperial court, even the empress and Li Yi.

Now that he has got rid of all his identities, he is a passerby that no one knows, and life and death are much less important to him.Besides, the possible dangers in the future are unknown, and they may never come, but the boy's illness tonight is real.

In Shifang's heart, he didn't feel that his life was more precious than a young man who met by chance.

Even if he gave that medicine out, he wouldn't feel distressed, but Shi Jiu felt distressed enough.

"It's a pity that my half-baked medical skills are really useless, and I can't cure him." Shi Fang whispered regretfully: "I wish I had learned more about healing and saving lives with Mr. Chu earlier."

Shi Jiu couldn't laugh or cry when she heard the words, but she could see it, and she accepted it when she saw that Shi Fang didn't feel sorry for her.

At worst, just do one good deed every day, and hope that the Buddha will bless them in the future to get a good result!

It rained heavily all night and stopped early the next morning.

Shifang and Shijiu got up early, the two packed their bags, greeted the other people who were staying, and started on their way.

Unexpectedly, before they left, the boy dragged his sick body out to say goodbye to them.Probably the medicine given by Chu Yunfeng really had a miraculous effect. The boy's complexion has recovered a lot this morning, and his cough is not so severe.

"Before I went out, my grandmother specially asked for a safe talisman for me, saying that it could keep me safe. I met my husband yesterday, and I think it was the result of the blessing of this safe talisman. Now I will give it to you. By my side, I hope it can continue to bless you in a safe journey." The young man handed Shifang a safety talisman as he spoke, and Shifang accepted it without hesitation.

Afterwards, Shifang and Shijiu left the farmhouse and continued towards the town.

The young man stood outside the courtyard and looked at Shi Fang's back. He didn't move until the other party disappeared from sight.

"My lord, you are suffering from the wind and cold now, shall we set off as soon as possible to find a doctor in the town ahead?" The man next to him asked.Now that there is no one around, that person resumed his original voice when he spoke, and it turned out that he was the easy-going Huo Yansheng.

The person he called the son was naturally Li Yi.The other two beside him were Yan Changsheng, a doorman who had helped Li Yi with errands before, and the other was Mu Ting from Da Zhou.

Li Yi came back to his senses, and said, "The medicine he gave me last night was given by Mr. Chu. It is the most precious medicine in Zhuangzi, and it can even save people's lives in an emergency. He was generous and gave it to me without hesitation." One pill... But fortunately, after taking that medicine, my coldness has almost healed, so don't worry about it."

Huo Yansheng heard the words and said: "He is willing to give such a precious medicine to the young master. Is it possible that he saw the flaw yesterday and guessed our identities?"

"Impossible." Li Yi said.

Not to mention that Shifang didn't know they left the capital, if Shifang really recognized him, he probably wouldn't have mentioned the "brother" in front of Li Yi last night.

Ever since Shifang knew Li Yi's intentions, he had always been very restrained in front of Li Yi, for fear that if he went too far, Li Yi would get deeper and deeper. How could he deliberately show his love for him in front of Li Yi.

Huo Yansheng couldn't figure out what Li Yi was thinking, and asked again: "I think they are going in the direction of entering the city. Anyway, we are going along the way, why don't we go together? Young Master, please... talk to him more."

Along the way, Li Yi hardly chatted much, only when he saw Shifang, he talked a little more.Huo Yansheng originally thought that when Li Yi saw Shifang, he would be eager to follow him every step of the way, but he didn't expect Li Yi to be so calm that he "let" him go away.

"Forget it, let's start again in an hour." Li Yi said.

Since he promised to let Shifang come and go as he wanted, now he can't deliberately stay by his side.

Yesterday he couldn't hold back and met with Shifang, which was already a breach of his promise.

Huo Yansheng hurriedly responded, not daring to say anything more.

In fact, when they left the capital this trip, they never thought that they would go the same way with Shifang.At least before Li Yi decided to take this trip, he didn't know Shifang's plan, because Shifang didn't tell anyone about his movements.

Later, he ordered Mu Ting to follow Shifang. It was originally for secret protection and to ensure that no one else would stare at Shifang. However, he did not expect that Mu Ting would send back news that Shifang was where Li Yi planned to go. .

Li Yi himself would not believe such a coincidence, and if Shi Fang found out, he would certainly not believe it.

the other side.

Shi Fang and Shi Jiu led the horses and walked slowly towards the city.

They came out this time for wandering, and they didn't have a specific destination, so they didn't need to hurry.Most of the time, Shifang is willing to lead the horse instead of galloping. Only when the distance is far away, they will choose to ride a horse because they are afraid that they will be too slow to catch up with the lodging.

"It rained so much yesterday, and the safety talisman on his body didn't even get wet, so it's well protected, and it should be something he cares about." Shi Fang couldn't help but hold the safety talisman in his hand and look at it several times.

Seeing this, Shi Jiu couldn't help but ask, "Is this brother going to keep it?"

"He asked for it sincerely, and he gave it to me as a gift. I can't lose him." Shi Fang took out his purse and put the peace talisman in it, and said, "Speaking of the peace talisman, I think of the one from a long time ago. A past event..."

When Shi Jiu heard this, she looked at Shi Fang curiously. She really liked listening to Shi Fang talk about the past.

Shifang is used to being deserted, and only when he talks about the past, there will be a little warmth in his eyes.

And Shifang didn't want Shijiu to feel that he had no relatives and no reason since he was a child, lest Shijiu feel sorry for himself.So I always tell Shi Jiu some things about my childhood, to let her know that although I was not born to the empress in the palace, I have received a lot of family affection.

"Is it related to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the banquet?" Shi Jiu asked.

"Yeah." Shifang smiled and said, "After I left the palace five years ago, he never forgave me. In those years, His Majesty, the Empress, and several other Highnesses would often visit me in Qingyin Temple. Only he Never been there once. Then one day, His Highness the Third Highness said he wanted a peace talisman, so I asked him for one." Shi Fang said.

Shifang remembered that Li Yi had been very possessive since he was a child. If Shifang had given something to the third prince but not Li Yi, Li Yi would have made trouble in the past.At that time Li Yi was trying to get angry with him, but Shifang still followed his old habits and didn't want to neglect him, so he also asked for a peace talisman for Li Yi and asked someone to take it back.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, Shifang saw the boy at the gate of Qingyin Temple.

At that time, it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the young man did not know when he arrived. When Shi Fang saw him, his body was already covered with a layer of frost.

"At that time, his temper was always awkward, and he was extremely irritable at such a young age." Shi Fang laughed.

"What about now?" Shi Jiu asked, "Is it much better now?"

Shi Fang was startled when he heard the words, and said, "Now that he's grown up, I can't quite understand him."

Shi Jiu gradually discovered that when he talked about the past ten aspects, he was always smiling, but when he mentioned the present, he always lost his mind, wondering what he was thinking.It was as if the same person had completely different meanings in his heart from the past to the present.

Shi Jiu didn't really want to understand, but she didn't ask what Shi Fang didn't want to say.

The two went all the way to the outside of the city, and saw that the city gate was closed tightly, and there were soldiers setting up checkpoints at the gate.

Shifang took the certificate of customs clearance and handed it to the soldiers guarding the city. The soldiers only glanced at it and returned it to him, but refused to let them in.

"These days there are important matters in the city, and outsiders are not allowed to enter the city." The soldier said.

"But we have customs clearance documents." Shi Jiu said.

The soldier glanced at Shi Jiu and said, "No matter what you have, the order we got is that outsiders are not allowed to enter the city these few days, and we don't know anything else."

Shi Jiu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Shi Fang.

Shi Fang has dealt with many people in the army since he was a child, and he knows that they are just following orders, and it is useless to talk too much.

"May I ask this military master, when will the important affairs in the city be completed?" Shi Fang asked.

"We don't know about that. If you have something urgent to enter the city, just wait." The soldier said.

Shi Fang looked around, and saw that not only he and Shi Jiu were stopped, but other people who entered the city seemed to be stopped at the city gate as well.

"When will this be?"

"That's right, the city gate was suddenly sealed without saying anything in advance."

Everyone had objections to the fact that they could not enter the city, but there were not too many people stopped at the gate of the city, and the matter had not yet reached the level of outrage, so the three or five of them did not dare to make trouble rashly in front of the officers and soldiers. mutter a few words.

There was a teahouse not far from the city gate. Shi Fang thought that they would not be able to enter the city for a while, so he and Shi Jiu went to the teahouse to order a pot of tea and a plate of dim sum along the way.

"I thought that with the customs clearance certificate, I would be able to go unimpeded, but I didn't expect to be stopped so soon." Shi Fang said.

He wasn't too anxious if he couldn't enter the city, his expression still looked calm.

Shi Jiu was puzzled and said, "Why can I go in the first few places smoothly, but not here?"

"The closer the place is to the capital, the stricter the rules of the local government. There is no legitimate reason to block the city gates. This is against the law during the banquet." Shi Fang said: "So in places closer to the capital, no one dares to block the city gates." Do it this way.” If you get far away, the rules will change.

"It's not too far away, so the difference is obvious. I just don't know what the important thing is in this city, even people are not allowed in." Shi Jiu nodded and said.

"If you really can't get in, just walk around nearby, or change the road. Anyway, we don't have to go forward." Shi Fang said: "I don't know when they will finish their important tasks in the city. I have been waiting, right? Method."

As soon as Shifang finished speaking, the owner of the teahouse served them refreshments.

The boss set up a tea stall here every day, met many customers, and naturally heard more things than ordinary people.

He lowered his voice, and said to the two people in ten directions: "I heard that some time ago, a big man is coming to the city. I guess most of the important affairs in the city are related to this matter?"

"What big shot?" Shi Jiu asked curiously.

"They said they came from the capital." The boss said.

Hearing the words, Shi Fang subconsciously looked at Shi Jiu with each other, with a bit of surprise in their eyes.

"How could a big shot in the capital come here? This place is not very important in the big banquet, and nothing big happened. How can a big shot have so much free time!" Shi Jiu deliberately said this to question the boss, wanting to hear more from him. Say something.

Sure enough, the man was very dissatisfied when he heard the words, and quickly retorted: "Why is it impossible? I also heard that the people who came were from the East Palace, sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Shi Fang took a sip of tea and almost choked when he heard the word "Prince".

"People from the East Palace?" Shi Jiu asked.

"I also heard it from someone." The tea stall owner said, "It was said that they came to inspect political achievements or something... I don't understand these things, I don't understand much, I only know that the person who came has something to do with the East Palace."

Shifang and Shijiu looked at each other again when they heard the words, both of them were puzzled by the news.

This place is indeed not considered an important town in terms of the banquet. There is neither a military fortress nor an industry that is related to the lifeline of the banquet. Even if the East Palace wants to send people to observe the people's sentiments, there is no need to come here, right?

"The East Palace sent someone to handle an errand, so will His Royal Highness come in person?" The new guests at the next table asked curiously.

"How is it possible?" The tea stall owner said: "His Royal Highness is the heir apparent of a country at our banquet. Even if he is aware of the people's sentiments, he can just send someone here. How could it be possible to make such a trip in person?"

The man was disappointed when he heard the words, and said: "I thought I could see His Highness's demeanor, but now it seems hopeless."

"If you want to see His Highness the Crown Prince's demeanor, you have to go to the capital." Another person next to him said: "I saw His Highness the Crown Prince that year when I went to the capital."

As soon as this person said this, several people around looked over curiously.

Someone couldn't help asking: "What does His Royal Highness look like? Is he tall and burly?"

The person who spoke rolled his eyes and said without hesitation: "That's natural. His Highness is more than nine feet long, and he doesn't need to step on the stirrups to get on a horse. Not to mention his appearance. He has a square face and a noble air. You can tell at a glance that he is the proud son of heaven."

Shifang: ...

I didn't expect Li Yi to have such an image among the people.

"What's the temper of His Royal Highness?" Someone asked again.

"That's naturally... making people feel like a spring breeze." The man said.

Everyone talked a lot after hearing the words, only Shi Fang couldn't help laughing after hearing the man's description.

His smile was not a big gesture, but it happened to fall into the eyes of that person.

That person was bragging and lacked confidence, but seeing Shi Fang smile now, he felt a little annoyed.

"What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?" the man questioned.

In his opinion, although this small place is not too far from the capital, there must be very few people who have actually been to the capital. very small.

"Yes, you are right." Shi Fang said hastily.

"Hehe, it's good that you know." The man said: "If you are lucky enough to see His Highness in the future, you will know what I said is true."

The author has something to say: Shifang: Not only have I met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I have also been with him... Do you believe me? (Not only that, I have evidence in my belly!)
