Dianxia Qingcheng

'I……"

Shen Jiujiu seemed to be hesitating whether to tell Pei Zheng.

When Pei Zheng asked this sentence, he didn't actually want Shen Jiujiu's answer.

For so long, there has always been a certain idea in his heart, and that idea was quietly buried deep in his heart, and it continued to take root every day and night afterwards.

And Shen Jiujiu's entry into the imperial hospital and the prime minister's mansion was not all because of Jiang Yubai's intention, but because of Pei Zheng's intention.

I have experienced too much disappointment and despair in the past three years, so I will close my heart, and will be cautious in the face of a little bit of hope like walking on thin ice.

That yelling thought was eagerly waiting to break through, but was suppressed for life.

And Pei Zheng could only keep telling himself to wait a little longer, keep calm, and act as usual.

So, he withdrew his hand and turned back.

The banquet was almost over here, the emperor left first, some of the other ministers were still sipping wine, and some also left the palace and returned home.After Pei Zheng drank a glass of wine, he stood up.

He didn't talk much tonight, just sipping wine one after another.

Shen Jiujiu looked very worried. My lord's pulse was already unstable, and I drank so much strong alcohol, it would definitely hurt my body. Why is my lord so careless about my body?

Pei Zheng got dizzy after getting up, Shen Jiujiu saw it and hurried forward to support him, "My lord..."

Pei Zheng held his arm to stand firm, and then pulled him slowly out of the palace.

Amul was also sitting in his seat talking with others, but when he saw Pei Zheng leaving, he also got up and followed him out of the palace.

Pei Zheng and Shen Jiujiu walked down the steps and came to a small garden, where there was a person standing there who seemed to be waiting for them.

"Master Pei, have you finished the banquet?"

Jiang Yubai walked over after seeing the person coming. He had been standing here for a long time, who knew that it was not over for a long time.

Shen Jiujiu was obviously a little surprised when he saw Jiang Yubai, "Mr. Jiang!"

Jiang Yubai frowned and looked at the veiled Shen Jiujiu, "You..."

Shen Jiu lifted up his veil, smiled at Jiang Yubai, "It's me, Doctor Jiang."

"Shen Nineteen, what are you up to? It's weird." Jiang Yubai squinted at Pei Zheng, he must have asked him to do this.

"Master Pei, can you spare some time for me today?"

Pei Zheng glanced at Shen Nineteen, "You go outside and wait for me."

Shen Jiujiu said "Oh" obediently, and waved goodbye to Jiang Yubai, "Then I'll go first, Doctor Jiang."

Jiang Yubai smiled kindly at him, and when Shen Jiujiu's figure disappeared at the arch of the small garden, the smile on his face also disappeared.

"Pei Zheng," Jiang Yubai pointed to the outside of the arch, "How sure are you?"

Pei Zheng asked without answering, "What are you looking for?"

Jiang Yubai said, "I recently looked up ancient books and found some rare medicines recorded, which may help you restore your internal strength."

He paused, "But it is said that these medicines can only be found in Ghost Valley, which means that the only people who can come into contact with this medicine may be ghost doctors who have disappeared."

Pei Zheng's eyes changed, "What effect will this medicine have after taking it?"

"Taking a little will stabilize the internal energy and integrate it into the whole body. If you can take it according to the dosage, you will be able to fully recover in a few days."

Hearing this, Pei Zheng thought of the pill that day, and then thought of the master Shen Jiu had been talking about all the time, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What do you know about that ghost doctor?"

Jiang Yubai thought for a while, "It is said that she went out for medical treatment in the early years. She was a woman, but after so many years, no one has seen her again, but she is extremely skilled in disguise, and she may have been hiding in the world. indefinite."

"How about medical skills?"

Although Jiang Yubai didn't want to admit it, he could only say honestly, "Above me, it is said that common diseases can be cured, and even human flesh Bai can be cured.

bone……"

He suddenly changed his face, staring at Pei Zheng, "Could it be, you mean..."

Pei Zheng's expression had already returned to normal, "It's getting late, Doctor Jiang, go to bed early."

After speaking, Pei Zheng turned around and walked out of the arch of the small garden.

Jiang Yubai was still standing there, thinking about all of this, if the master Shen Shijiu said was really a ghost doctor...

But the possibility of this matter is really too slim.

Shen Jiujiu had been standing outside the arch of the small garden, he could only see Pei Zheng and Jiang Yubai standing inside, but he couldn't hear their conversation at all.

"What a coincidence, isn't this a relative of Mr. Pei? Why are you here?"

Amul appeared out of nowhere, looking at Shen Jiu with a smile.

Shen Jiujiu was taken aback by Amul, but he didn't dare to exclaim in fear of disturbing the people who were talking, so he could only cover his mouth with his hands suddenly, and his eyes widened slightly.

"Are you scared?" Amul moved up to him and waved his hand, "Why are you so timid, it's really cute."

Shen Jiujiu was actually a little angry when he saw him. He made things difficult for him at the banquet just now, but Shen Jiujiu didn't forget it, and he still held a grudge.

"I don't know you, I can't just talk to strangers."

Shen Jiujiu closed his mouth after speaking, determined not to talk to this braided man again.

Seeing his angry appearance, Amul felt that he was even cuter, "You don't know me, but I know you. Your name is Shen Shijiu, and you're a young apprentice from Taiyuan Hospital, right?"

Shen Jiujiu turned around, "No, you've got the wrong person!"

Amul turned to him, "Admitted it wrong? No way, I think you are stupid, you are clearly Shen Shijiu."

Shen Jiu insisted, "You just admitted your mistake!"

"Oh? Then what are you in a hurry for?" Amul was amused by him.

"I, I'm not in a hurry, that's how I speak..."

Shen Jiujiu turned around again, turned his back to Amul, and twirled his fingers. He was really not suitable for lying.

Amul stretched out his hand to touch the thin shoulder of the person in front of him, but it was in vain.

Pei Zheng had already walked over quickly, and pulled Shen Jiujiu's waist, and Shen Jiu directly slammed into his arms, burying his face in his chest.

With one hand wrapped around Shen Jiujiu's shoulders, Pei Zheng's breathing became heavier, and his subordinates increased their strength, pressing Shen Jiujiu firmly into his arms.

"Leader Amul, what were you doing to the real person just now?"

Amul withdrew his arm indifferently. He was very curious about Shen Jiujiu, but finding ways to deal with Pei Zheng was his ultimate goal.

"Master Pei is too serious. This is the palace of the Celestial Dynasty. What can I do. It's just..."

Amul lowered his voice on purpose, "Some things others dare not say, but it doesn't mean I dare not say them either."

He pointed to Shen Jiujiu who was quietly buried in Pei Zheng's arms, "Where is this man coming from, has Mr. Pei really figured it out?"

"Can't you figure it out? It's all about the truth, and it's someone else's turn to worry about it?"

Pei Zheng's face was obviously gloomy and unhappy.

"Yes, yes, I, Amul, am not that meddlesome person. It's just that the Ninth Prince has only been away for a long time, and Mr. Pei found a substitute who is so similar? This is a clever way to empathize with others."

Amul smiled and applauded.

Pei Zheng's eyes were filled with an overwhelming chill, and his chin lightly touched Shen Jiujiu's heart.

Who said this is a stand-in?

The warm mass in his arms is clearly his hope that is accumulating little by little, and soon, he will be able to turn this hope into reality.

But this process must not allow others to judge.

Pei Zheng put his fingers into Shen Jiujiu's cuff, and the folding fan was held in his hand and struck in Amul's direction.

Amul reacted swiftly to dodge, but the folding fan was flying around his body, and then it opened suddenly, and the surroundings of the fan emitted silver light, which was brighter than what he saw in the hall just now.

Amul cursed secretly in his heart, that Pei Zheng really dared to kill him in the palace.

Hiding around in a panic, the silver light failed to hit Amul's body, but Amul was in a mess because of rolling around on the ground a few times.

When the fan's silver light gradually faded, Amul stepped forward and threw the fan on the ground, stomping on it a few times, until it was smashed to pieces.

"Pei Zheng! Are you crazy! I am the leader of the barbarians, do you want to see another dispute between our two countries?"

"Don't the barbarians have such an idea?" After Pei Zheng used up his internal strength, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, but there was no trace of abnormality on his face.

"I'm telling the truth, so it's no wonder you're angry." Amul straightened his robe.

"Others would never have imagined that Prime Minister Pei, who seemed the coldest, would actually have feelings. Back then, he almost died in my barbarian hall because of the Ninth Prince, and now he used his internal force forcefully when he was unwell."

Amul took a few steps closer, "Does it mean that if I push you now, you will fall?"

Shen Jiu raised his head suddenly. He just felt the light shaking of Pei Zheng's body. It was he who reached out and hugged Pei Zheng's waist in time to make Pei Zheng stand firm.

Turning to hug Pei Zheng's arm, Shen Jiu turned to look at Amul, his eyes full of vigilance.

"What are you doing!"

Amul was stunned by his childish warning, but he really didn't come forward.

"I'm just joking, why are you staring at me? Didn't you see how your adults treated me just now?"

Shen Nineteen shook his head, "I didn't see it!"

Amul was choked. Although he would not really do anything to Pei Zheng, Shen Jiujiu looked like a small animal protecting the Lord, and he was afraid that he would eat his adults.

Obviously he, Pei Zheng, is the one who can eat people, okay?

I saw Shen Jiujiu looking behind Amul, and suddenly his eyes brightened, "Afeng, you are here!"

Chengfeng hurried over, "Master."

Pei Zheng said "hmm" lightly.

Shen Jiujiu was backed up by someone, and said directly to Amul, "We are going back, can't you get out of the way?"

Amul frowned, thinking he was in the way?

Shen Jiujiu directly half-supported and half-pulled Pei Zheng and walked past Amulle, Chengfeng also saluted Amulle, and followed.

Only Amul was left standing under the moonlight.

He originally wanted to ask something. About that little fool, he hadn't been able to let it go completely for so long. Who knows that Pei Zheng refused to divulge even a word of information.

The sedan chair was waiting inside the palace gate. After Pei Zheng went up, Shen Jiujiu was about to go to his own sedan chair beside him, but Pei Zheng's lips suddenly overflowed with blood, which made Shen Jiujiu very worried.

"My lord, can I take a sedan chair with you? I'm worried about you..."

Shen Jiujiu stood outside Pei Zheng's sedan chair and whispered.

There was no sound from inside for a long time, Shen Jiu thought he had violated the rules, so he lowered his head and was about to walk away.

The curtain of the sedan chair was suddenly lifted from the inside, and Shen Jiujiu looked up at Pei Zheng's slightly lowered eyes.

"Come up."

Shen Jiujiu couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from rising, "Yeah!"

Then he climbed up swiftly.

The sedan chair was lifted up leisurely, and walked towards the palace gate.

Shen Jiujiu took off his veil first, carefully wiped off the blood on Pei Zheng's lips, and then touched Pei Zheng's pulse with his fingers.

"My lord, are you in pain?"

Pei Zheng glanced at him and saw that tears were shining in Shen Jiujiu's eyes, and he groped around the corners of his eyes with his fingers.

"What are you crying for?"

Shen Jiu didn't know why he was crying, he just wanted to cry a little bit, and, just now, he understood a little bit, that Ninth Prince, my lord almost lost his life trying to save him.

Then he must be very important to adults.

"My lord," Shen Jiu mustered up all his courage to ask, "Is the Ninth Prince Qi Changyi..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Jiujiu's eyes were covered with a black shadow, and then his lips felt moist and hot, soft, with a strong aroma of wine.
