Supreme Serpent

In Yuanshan Palace, the current Empress Dowager Xiangqing is resting on a soft pillow, and the tassel curtain made of emerald stone hides her still beautiful face.A few court ladies knelt aside and smashed the scarlet impatiens with a small pure gold mortar, and squeezed out the juice to dye her nails finely.

The chief eunuch walked lightly to the side of the phoenix couch, leaned down and said, "I want to report to the Empress Dowager, there is a message from Linde Hall, and the emperor will come to greet the Empress Dowager in half an hour."

He raised his hand to look at the bright red fingers, and waved the maid back.Vermilion lips parted slightly: "Tain, help Ai get up."

"Yes. It's going to be Xiaoman these few days, and the heat is very dry. The servant ordered the imperial chef to make some iced bird's nest soup for the Queen Mother to relieve the heat." After speaking, he helped the Queen Mother Xiangqing and went to the front hall.

The Empress Dowager drank the cold soup from the tourmaline bowl and said, "You servant is really considerate, it is worthwhile for Aijia to let you sit in the position of chief executive."

"It is the greatest blessing for Tyne to serve the empress dowager, and I will serve her well in this life." After speaking, he knelt down.

"Okay, you slave know that you are loyal to the emperor and the Ai family. Go, get the pictures of beautiful girls submitted by various places this year, and the Ai family will have to consider them carefully."

After a while, a high-pitched voice came from outside: "The emperor is here!"

"The son and minister send my mother's greetings, and may the mother's phoenix body be in peace."

"Get up quickly, I've become more stable after not seeing the emperor for a few days." Xiang Qing took Xuanyuan Hao's hand and sat on the soft chair together. Not only did his mother and son look alike, but they also had deep feelings for each other.

"My son misses his mother, and rushed over just after middle school from the Taifu, and the dinner must be shared with his mother." Xuanyuan Hao smiled, and saw that the eunuch presented several stacks of papers one after another, " Queen Mother, what is this?"

"I am going to tell the emperor about this matter. These are all beautiful girls who are going to enter the palace. The emperor took a closer look, and found that they are all talented and beautiful. The ones marked with cinnabar next to them are the candidates for the queen, and the ones marked with crimson blue The candidate is the imperial concubine, use..."

"Empress Mother, I don't want to see this." Xuanyuan Hao interrupted Empress Dowager Xiangqing with a livid face.

"Why? Your Majesty is more than sixteen this year, and has reached the age of being in charge. This big wedding is so important that you can't help it."

"Empress mother, son minister does not want to get married."

"On weekdays, the emperor can do whatever he wants, and he can turn a blind eye to Shan'er's little lass, don't let the queen mother down." Xiangqing thought of what his emperor and the eunuch had done. He was so angry that he would pass out.

"Mother, don't be angry, don't be angry, my son will do what you want." Xuanyuan Hao took the queen mother's hand to comfort him. He listened to his mother's words the most since he was a child, and had to obey her first even though he was unwilling.

All good filial piety comes first, Emperor Dongsheng has always ruled the world with filial piety, and he, the emperor, can only obey the queen mother's wishes.Under Xuanyuan Hao's depression, he wanted to see that gentle person even more, hoping to say a few words to him to get rid of the worries in his heart.

Xiaolu closed the door, looked back from time to time, and murmured in his heart: What's wrong, young master, he hasn't got out of bed for several days, and he won't let himself approach him, and told him not to bother him if he has nothing to do.The more Xiaolu thought about it, the weirder he became, he shook his head and walked out of the other courtyard.

Luo Yu secretly thought it was not good in the room, for several days in a row he was completely weak, unable to move, and his whole body was also itchy faintly, it was about to peel off.

He has practiced for more than 300 years, and he sheds his skin two or three times a year no earlier than ordinary snakes.His real body was as thick as a bucket, and his skin would only shed once every few hundred years, and he never expected to catch up now.

His eyes would temporarily go blind and turn a smoky color for a few days before the peeling.Now his eyes are dark, his soul is unstable, and his original shape may appear at any time, so he dare not let Xiaolu get close.

In the middle of the night, a giant jasper-colored python writhed on the bed, its emerald scales twitched, and its white and soft belly was exposed from time to time, as if in pain. Its front half was wrapped around the bed curtain, rubbing its snout vigorously , After a while, he turned over and rubbed his jaw again.After a long time, the skin of the snake's head gradually fell off, and the skin, which was as thin as a cicada's wings, slowly cracked, and it struggled to crawl out from the crack until the sun rose.

The newborn skin is delicate and smooth, with exceptionally clear lines, and the body has grown a lot.Luo Yu has turned back into a human body, and it will take four or five days for her eyes to recover, she only hopes to hide it from Xiao Lu.He struggled to get up to touch the skin that had been taken off, and after pondering, he would turn the skin into a green dress and cover jjj's skin.Every time the skin peeled off, his vitality was seriously injured, and he was so tired that he fell into a deep sleep.

After noon, Xiaolu came over with some food. As soon as he opened the door and put down the food box, he saw that the bed made of nanmu had been destroyed, the gauze curtain and silk were scattered on the ground, and the bed curtain was broken.Luo Yu lay sideways on the side of the bed, only covered with a thin shirt, revealing a large area of ​​crystal clear snow muscle.

"Young Master, Young Master, Young Master..." Xiao Lu called several times, but the man didn't answer him.

Raising his hand tremblingly, he turned the man over, his messy black hair covered his face, and he probed his nose with his hands, breathing like a thread.

Xiaolu was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and it took him a while to recover.

"Master Fu, Master Fu, something is wrong."

"It's Xiaolu, what are you shouting about, Mr. Fu left the house early in the morning to buy things." The gentleman in charge said lazily.

"The little one wants to ask for a doctor."

"Invite a doctor? Just rely on you? Can you invite an imperial doctor without Master Fu?"

"My young master is unconscious, I'm afraid that young master might make a mistake." Xiaolu burst into tears anxiously.

"Hmph, you can only wait, unless you have the guts to ask your mother."

Xiaolu stomped his feet and ran out through the back door.

"...Lengshen...is the doctor here?" Panting, Xiaolu ran from the north of the city to the Renhui Hall in the east of the city without stopping for a moment.

Xiao Er stopped what she was doing, and glanced at him impatiently, "You can tell from the fact that there are so few people, today is not the first day of junior high school."

"I'm in a hurry to find Doctor Leng, brother...do you know where Doctor Leng's mansion is?"

"Go, go, stay, I want to know that I will still be here, and I have already gone to learn art from my teacher."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

A little boy patted Xiaolu's shoulder from behind, "Hey, why are you crying?"

"It's you, you are a cold doctor." Xiaolu grabbed Anan's hand with bright eyes.

"It's me. I saw you a few days ago. Why are you crying here? I saw you crying when I just arrived here to get some newly arrived medicinal materials for my young master."

"My son... my son passed out, and he couldn't wake up no matter what, what should I do?"

"What? You are talking about Mr. Luo?" Anan was shocked.

Xiaolu nodded, although he stopped crying but there were still tears in his eyes.

Anan told him to go back to the mansion to take care of the young master, and he went back to find the young master immediately.

Xiaolu went back to the mansion, stood in front of Luoyu's bed, covered him with a quilt and wiped his face with warm water.Every once in a while, I ran to the gate of the palace to look around, but after two hours in a row, I still didn't see Leng Wuyan.He didn't know that it would be nearly two hours before Anan returned to Wangyou Valley.

Xiaolu saw that the sun was about to set, and he was afraid that the young master would be in danger.

"Your Majesty, Xiaolu, who is serving in the Tengtao Pavilion, please see me."

"Tengtao Pavilion? Let him in." Shan Helan Zhiliu frowned slightly, and threw the embroidered handkerchief in her hand aside.

"Master told you to come in." Ge Yue led Xiaolu in.

"Your Majesty, the young master is unconscious, and I hope your Majesty will let the imperial doctor come and take a look."

"Oh? Why didn't you look for Xue Fu?" Shan He Lanzhi asked casually after taking the tea from Ge Yue.

"The chief executive is not in the mansion, the servant is really worried."

"It's such a big joke that a male favorite wants to be seen by the imperial doctor!" Ge Yue said.

"Your Majesty, please allow this slave to go out and ask for a doctor, the young master is seriously ill."

Ge Yue sneered, "What kind of place is this? Outsiders can come in and out at will. It's not like Director Xue won't go back to the mansion, so why bother your mother with such trivial matters."

Xiaolu choked up for a while, as if he had made a great determination, he opened his mouth and said, "Young master hasn't got out of bed for the past few days. I'm worried that if you make a mistake, the prince will blame you..."

"What a slave, you dare to use the prince to overwhelm the palace." Shan He Lanzhi smashed the glazed cup in her hand, her face full of displeasure.

"The slave dare not, the slave dare not."

"What kind of bastard is he? The lord will blame Ben Gong for him? A despicable male favorite, get out of here, get out of here."

"Didn't you hear what your mother said? Don't get out yet."

Seeing the concubine getting so angry, Xiaolu was so frightened that Xiaolu fled back to the Tengtao Pavilion.

"Your Majesty calm down and let that bitch fend for himself." Ge Yue looked at his master again without saying a word and continued, "My Majesty thinks the prince will..."

"It's just a man's plaything, how can I worry that the prince will take him seriously. However, it's better to be careful in everything, lest that foxy son use any tricks to keep an eye on me every move in the Tengtao Pavilion in the future. If there is something, he must be removed to avoid future troubles."

"Yes, the servant knows."

A muffled thunder sounded in the sky not far away, heralding a heavy rain.

Xiaolu looked at Luoyu's pale face and muttered to himself: "It doesn't matter if Xiaolu is beaten or scolded, Xiaolu is the slave's life, as long as the young master can wake up, it will be fine, the young master has a kind heart, and it is Xiaolu's blessing to be able to serve the young master, young master wake up."

"Xiaolu" Luoyu woke up slowly, without any strength in her body.

"Young master, you are awake, you can be regarded as awake, God open your eyes."

Luo Yu closed his eyes, he didn't want the color of his pupils to scare Xiao Lu, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired."

"Young master, if you feel unwell, you should tell Xiaolu. Don't carry it alone. Xiaolu will find a doctor for you."

Listening to his tone, he said, "You will recover after a few days of rest. It's not a serious illness. Don't cry, it will make me sad too."

"Master, he stopped crying when he woke up. Xiaolu went to Renhui Hall. Last time, the drug boy went to see Doctor Leng. Master will be fine."

"Yuanzi will never leave the valley until the first day of junior high school, so it will be difficult for him."

"I don't care about Xiaolu, as long as Xiaolu is good for you."

The two were talking when Xue Fu hurried in.

"Is there something wrong, young master?" Xue Fu asked respectfully with his hands down.

"It's all right." Luo Yu sat up and replied calmly.

"Just now the guard came to tell that there is a doctor surnamed Leng outside the mansion who wants to see the young master."

"When Miracle Doctor Leng arrived, I knew he would come."

Hearing Xiaolu's words, Xue Fu was startled, the person standing outside the mansion was the world-renowned genius doctor Leng.The concubine has a heart disease for many years under the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor. She has taken a lot of the most precious medicinal herbs in the world but has not seen any improvement. Ge Yue and him once brought a lot of gifts to ask Leng Wuyan for treatment, but they were declined many times. Unexpectedly, the miracle doctor would come here on his own, presumably the two must know each other.

"It turned out to be the famous doctor Leng. Let Xue go to welcome such distinguished guests. Xiaolu, please take care of the young master." After speaking, he quickly trotted away.What Xue Fu thought in his mind was to ask Luoyu to heal the concubine after the doctor Leng had diagnosed him. He would not refuse even if he came to the palace, so that the concubine Jing would definitely reward him well.

Leng Wuyan followed Xue Fu into the palace, Anan followed behind with a medicine box on his back.The main hall of King Rui's Mansion has sixteen layers, with golden dragon pillars in front of the hall and colorful decorations on the top of the treasure.Every few tens of steps, there is a garden with an arch bridge carved with white marble. Under the bridge, the water is sparkling, and there are rare and colorful huge pond fish in the water.Anan was overwhelmed by the magnificence and beauty of the palace, looked left and right, and praised him from time to time, but Leng Wuyan's corners of his mouth were tense, and he didn't look sideways.

A quiet small courtyard, although a bit out of tune with the magnificence of the palace, under the cover of vigorous green bamboos, it also has a bit of dust.

Xiaolu waited at the door, bowed to Leng Wuyan and said: "Master likes to be quiet, so I told Xiaolu to only let Doctor Leng in."

"In this case, Xue will go to busy with the affairs of the mansion first. Doctor Leng, please. Xiaolu, after the doctor finishes treating the young master, he will come and let me know."

"Yes, Master Fu."

Xiaolu motioned Anan to go with him to the kitchen for some pastries.Leng Wuyan took the medicine box and pushed open the door.It was dark inside, with no lights on.

"Yuanzi, you're here."

Leng Wuyan searched for that clear and beautiful voice, and saw that person sitting on the edge of the bed, with black hair hanging on his thin shoulders.

"Why did you lose so much weight?" Leng Wuyan sat next to Luoyu, with concern in his eyes.

"It's not a problem, but I'd like to trouble you, a genius doctor, to prescribe me a few medicines for nourishing Qi and strengthening vitality."

"With me here, nothing will happen to you." He took out a torch from his pocket and got up and lit the oil lamp on the table.

Luo Yu chuckled softly, "Yuan Zi would have broken his own rules."

"It's good that you know." After saying that, he took Luoyu's hand, which was so cold that it was not like a living person.Leng Wuyan frowned tightly, his pulse seemed strange, just as he was about to ask, he saw Luoyu's eyes, which reflected the firelight but had no brilliance at all.

"your eyes..."

"I know I can't hide it, so I'll just tell you. Every few years, my eyes will go blind, but I will recover after a while, so I don't take it to heart." The hands under the quilt were tightly squeezed together. , He lowered his head unnaturally after speaking, he is not very good at lying, and he is not willing to lie to Leng Wuyan, but the transvestite has no choice but to hide it from him.

It was the first time Leng Wuyan heard of such a strange disease. He searched the memories in his mind, neither his father with more advanced medical skills nor medical books mentioned or recorded this disease. No wonder?

"It's really unheard of, don't worry, as long as I take time, I will definitely find out a way to heal you. I still have a few ancient medicine scriptures at home."
