The lady of a good match

Chapter 38 Undercurrent

"Emperor..."

"It's okay, cough cough..." Feng Jingyi waved his hand at him, "Be safe and don't be impatient."

Now that the seasons are changing, the dry autumn wind makes this cough more frequent.

After a long while, Feng Jingyi came back to his senses, and calmly put away the scarlet veil, Yan Qing pretended not to notice it with lowered eyebrows, and offered him a cup of tea before tentatively opening his mouth:

"Dijun still needs to pay more attention to this long-standing cough, and don't force it, otherwise it will be difficult to eradicate it if it drags on for a long time."

"Huh?" Feng Jingyi frowned and looked over, his eyes darkened and he said deliberately:

"I'm just coughing because of the dry weather and dry things recently. How can I become ill for a long time?"

Yan Qing raised his head and looked at him: "No, Dijun's situation didn't happen recently, and I hope Dijun won't shy away from medical treatment."

Feng Jingyi narrowed his eyes: "Do you know medical skills?"

"I don't understand." Yan Qing shook his head, "Forgive me for being bold, but the emperor's symptoms are very similar to the condition of a herb picker I have seen."

"Oh?" Feng Jingyi seemed to be in high spirits, "Are you talking about the similarities?"

Yan Qing picked up the teacup:

"Cool grass is a medicine, and it is generally used for dry cough, but if the cough persists for a long time, it can be effectively relieved by making tea instead of water on weekdays. Dijun's eyes are dark, which must be caused by long-term pain and restless sleep. To, or..."

Feng Jingyi asked: "Or what?"

Yan Qing continued slowly:

"It's a medicine with three points of poison. This cold herb is also a medicine. After drinking it for a long time, there will still be toxin accumulation in the body. The emperor's dark eyes are also related to the toxin accumulation. The patient mentioned by the minister is due to long-term use of poisonous herbs. It leads to the accumulation of toxins in the body and leads to long-term illness."

He knew nothing about medical skills, these were all said by the imperial doctors in the womb of the previous generation, but they were just quoting by chance.

"Poison accumulation..." Feng Jingyi's eyes flashed a coldness, and then said, "You are right about this..."

Yan Qing looked at him pretending to be surprised and then lowered her head.

Feng Jingyi shook his hands and asked, "What happened to that patient later? Did he die?"

If his illness drags on, he can only die. He is self-aware, and there are probably many people waiting for him.

Yan Qing lowered her head:

"The emperor is serious. This cough is not a terminal illness. How could it kill someone so easily? The patient recovered after treatment, and now he is going to do business outside the customs."

"Really..." Feng Jingyi took another sip of tea, "Do you know how he was cured?"

"I know." Yan Qing replied, "I asked him for a prescription after hearing what he said miraculously..."

Yan Qing's heart tightened when he said these words, the emperor's illness was something he had made up his mind to deal with when he entered the palace this time.

Feng Jingyi looked at him steadily for a few seconds, then got up and walked back to the desk, and after a while, took the pen, ink and paper and put them in front of him:

"Write down the prescription."

Yan Qing frowned: "Chen, I have never tried it myself..."

Feng Jingyi's lips twitched: "It's okay, if I tell you to write it, you can write it, and I will make my own decision on the rest."

"Yes."

Yan Qing didn't ask any more questions, and took up a pen to write down.

In addition to his own memory of this prescription, he asked Jing Mo to inquire about it in a place where witch doctors are prevalent outside the pass in order not to make a business trip.

"It is true that I have been ill for a long time, and the imperial physician is helpless. If this prescription can make me recover, Yan Qing, I will grant you a wish."

Feng Jingyi watched him calmly write down the prescription, and felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. If he was not [-]-[-]% sure, Yan Qing would not lead the topic casually. As a son of a famous family, this means What Yan Qing must understand.

After Yan Qing finished writing the prescription, she stood up and knelt down to thank her:

"Yan Qing thanked Lord Long for his kindness. It is a great fortune for the country to have the emperor's dragon body safe and peaceful. I dare not ask for anything."

The emperor's illness will definitely recover. What he is doing now is just to complete the things that happened in his previous life earlier. At this time, he has a relationship with Wei Shuhan and his identity is sensitive. How can he dare to accept the emperor's favor casually?The emperor's city mansion is extremely deep. He has learned it in his previous life, and the light promise is just an opportunity to test it out.

Feng Jingyi nodded, something flashed in his eyes but he said:

"Pingshen. Well, let's talk about whether you dare to ask for it. I have heard that you are talented. If you want or don't want anything, it's better to finish it at the crown ceremony. After the scientific examination, the Qilin Palace will tell me, how about it?"

As he spoke, an inscrutable smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

Yan Qing got up and raised his head to look at him, cupped his hands for a while: "I obey."

If he, a scholar, wants to enter the Qilin Palace, the only way is the imperial examination. In this case, he should accept the emperor's appointment as a gentleman.

It will be justifiable to wait for his fame and fame in the future, plus today's casual kindness, and then negotiate terms with the emperor.

Feng Jingyi: "That's it, it's an agreement between you and me, Yan Qing, don't let me down."

Yan Qing: "Yan Qing will do his best."

"En." Feng Jingyi nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, let's step back, I am very satisfied with the tribute this year, go back to the station and wait for the reward."

Yan Qing saluted: "I will take my leave."

The door of the imperial study room opened and closed again. Feng Jingyi shifted his gaze to the ink-dried prescription on the table. After the list of tributes, write the rewards.

In any case, there is no harm in controlling a person who is married to the orphan of a criminal minister but has extraordinary intelligence. Father Huang said:

As a king, he uses both kindness and strength to act both soft and hard. He does not look at right or wrong but only weighs the pros and cons. If the chips in his hand are out of control, destroying is the best way.He also warned him that if the Yan family's children step into the court, they must know how to weigh the pros and cons.

From the moment Yan Qing stepped into the Imperial Study Room, he paid respectful salutes, but when faced with his doubts and temptations, he remained calm and unhurried. This is not the kind of quality that the children of ordinary rich families can have. Even a little compliment is just right.

Such a person enters the imperial court one day, if he is a good minister, he can put a pen and word to make the world safe, but if he is a fool, he will definitely bring disaster to Xiao Qiang, Yan Qing, which type will he be?I hope that he doesn't let down his love for talents. Without the gold medal for avoiding death, it is too easy for the Yan family to decline.

Yan Qing followed the palace guides and left, and the servant outside the door walked into the imperial study room and passed a message: "Emperor, the imperial guard, Master Xiao, is asking to see you."

Feng Jingyi raised his head: "Let him in."

Attendant: "Yes."

Steady footsteps stepped into the imperial study room, and a tall and burly man in a black soft armor robe walked in, with long hair and high bunches, handsome and resolute features, with a serious expression on his face at the moment, he came forward and knelt down to salute:

"The emperor Xiao Yunmu pays homage to the emperor."

Feng Jingyi put down his pen and ink and looked over: "Pingshen."

Xiao Yunmu: "Thank you, Emperor."

Feng Jingyi saw his serious face and frowned: "Did you find any clues about the assassin last night?"

Xiao Yunmu lowered his head: "I'm incompetent, I haven't found any useful clues."

The assassin's entry into the palace was like a slap in the face to him, the commander of the imperial guards.

Feng Jingyi's eyes sank, and he asked coldly, "Where is the Shadow Guard?"

Xiao Yunmu:

"Eunuch Wang was assassinated to death outside the gate of the side hall of the Leng Palace. Eunuch Wang was already dead when Ying Yi arrived. After fighting with the assassin, Ying Yi was seriously injured, and the thief fled."

Feng Jingyi tugged his hand tightly on the desk: "How often do the patrol guards in Jingong patrol the Leng Palace?"

Xiao Yunmu: "The cold palace is once every quarter of an hour. There are no fixed guards. It has always been like this."

Feng Jingyi rubbed his eyebrows: "Tell me your opinion."

Xiao Yunmu nodded:

"For the time being, regardless of why the Lord Wang, who guarded the emperor's bedroom at night, would go to the side hall of the cold palace late at night, but the assassin is obviously very clear about the situation in the palace, the timing is very accurate and the purpose is clear, even if the palace shadow guard appears, after being injured You can still retreat leisurely, without any trace of chasing.”

Feng Jingyi tapped the table with his slender fingers: "The purpose is clear? You mean he came here specially to assassinate Wang Haiqiao?"

"There are indications that this is the case."

Xiao Yunmu answered seriously, and then explained further:

"Yingyi said that the assassin's skill is very hot and he is very proficient in the way of assassination. I am afraid that he is a person in the Jianghu, but he can escape the heavy defenses and enter the palace to assassinate. The rivers and lakes are hunting killers."

"A hunting killer in the rivers and lakes." Feng Jingyi's voice cooled down, a sternness flashed in his eyes, he gritted his teeth angrily and sneered:

"Dare to break into the imperial palace and take human life, what a brave man of art!"

Xiao Yunmu remained silent, this was not only a slap in the face, but also a provocation to the emperor's prestige.

Feng Jingyi thought for a moment, then looked at Xiao Yunmu again and ordered:

"This matter should not be publicized. There was not much alarm last night. Wang Haiqiao's death was said to be a sudden death due to hidden illness. Check whether he has relatives outside the palace, so as to comfort him. The rest, I will find out in secret without omission. If you don’t find out, you can go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to receive the punishment yourself.”

Xiao Yunmu knelt down: "I take orders."

Feng Jingyi nodded and waved his hands: "Go down."

Xiao Yunmu withdrew, Feng Jingyi slammed his fist on the desk, and coughed violently because of his shortness of breath. It wasn't because of his manners, he had already lost his temper in front of Xiao Yunmu.

He has been on the throne for three years, Tianshu Kingdom is peaceful, prosperous and prosperous. Under the surface, there are actually internal and external troubles, and the palace court is even more undercurrent.

Wang Haiqiao is an old man who served his father. After his father passed away, Wang Haiqiao accompanied him to serve him. He has been keeping his duty all these years. Now... Maybe it’s just superficial. The Wei family’s affairs come first.

What did Wang Haiqiao go to the side hall of the Lenggong late at night?Why did the assassin know he was going there?What kind of person wants to take his life without hesitating to hire murderers to enter the palace?Are there more things that he doesn't know about?
