Self-cultivation of a geisha

Entering the shop, the drug dealers were dressed in plain long gowns, with a crimson belt, and a ochre-colored melon-skin hat. They all have a medicinal fragrance, and after smelling them for a long time, you can't feel the bitterness, on the contrary, it becomes more refreshing.

Xu Yan smiled and praised: "Senior brother, your shop is really unique, and the medicinal fragrance is also unique."

"That's natural. It's arranged according to the medicine palace in Lianyou Mountain Villa. I carefully prepared this medicinal fragrance. It's refreshing and invigorating." Lian Chen took out a square box with a gold border from the medicine drawer while talking. The small sandalwood box is only about the size of a palm.

His master didn't let him study medicine since he was a child, but he was very knowledgeable and never went to places related to medicine. Even in Worry Villa, everyone except him had been in and out of the medicine palace.

He poked his head to look at the box in Lian Chen's hand, and when the box was opened, an indescribable fragrance came to his nostrils.

Lian Chen took out the herb inside, it was an indigo-colored herb with tips.

Xu Yan raised his hand and wanted to touch it like a demon, but Lian Chen stopped before he could reach out: "Don't touch it! The tip of the herb is poisonous!"

Hearing this, he took half a step back abruptly.

Lian Chen took the herb back into the box with a calm expression, and explained: "This is called Hidden tongue grass, which grows in extremely cold places and is extremely rare. I found two here. If you accidentally touch them, you will lose your mind soon. Unclear, three days later the base of the tongue was broken and died, but..."

"But what?"

"But... the appearance of death is no different from that of ordinary people, it can be called peaceful." Lian Chen raised an eyebrow and said.

He withdrew his curious eyes and followed Lian Chen to the medicine room.

The medicine room is quite large, a medicine pool made of jade in the middle occupies a small half of the area, and there is a long stone table about ten feet on the side, which is filled with all kinds of bottles and jars.

"Do you know that if you don't take care of yourself now, you won't survive..."

"Senior brother, you don't have to worry about it. Xu Yan has his own measure." Xu Yan interrupted Lian Chen's words, saw his expression condensed and paused, then smiled again: "Everything is fate, senior brother doesn't need to say much."

Lian Chen stared at him for a long time without saying a word.

He also looked back calmly, smiling slightly.

Lian Chen sighed helplessly and said, "It's done, it's done,

You just stay here with me these few days, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. "

He really didn't go anywhere, and stayed in this pharmacy for half a month.

On the first day here, Lian Chen gave him a light blue pill and told him to take it immediately. He was in a trance for two days, and then he felt much lighter.

After that, Lian Chen was fed some weird pills and soups all day long, and soaked in the medicine pond for an hour or two.

Xu Yan was soaking in the pool that day when a person pushed the door open and entered without a sound.

The rising heat turned into wisps of light smoke, permeating the entire medicine room, misty, and the footsteps of the man stagnated by the blowing heat.

Sweeping his gaze in that person's direction, Xu Yan said indifferently, "You're back?"

To that person, there was a hint of urgency in these words, and he walked straight to him, bent down and whispered to him.

After hearing this, Xu Yan got up quickly, his black hair poured down, and the man immediately took the clothes and put them on for him.

"Sir, when are you leaving?" the man asked while straightening his clothes.

"Immediately." Xu Yan's face was tense, and his eyes were gloomy.

"Yes."

Lian Chen went to the herb library to count the medicinal materials used this month, and then made a list and ordered someone to buy them.

Back in the medicine room, he found that the person in the medicine pool had disappeared, his eyes darkened, and he whispered in the empty medicine room with his hands behind his back: "Xu Zuo."

Xu Zuo fell lightly from the roof. He was dressed in black and had black hair. He didn't have any accessories on his body, but his face was no longer as handsome as it used to be. Asked: "What is the master's order?"

"Look at him, if he dies, bring him back to me." Lian Chen's seductive eyes were calm and unwavering, as if he had expected such a day long ago, but a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Yes." In the blink of an eye, Xu Zuo disappeared into the room just like when he came.

Lian Chen stopped for a moment in front of the medicine pool where the man soaked, and raised his hand to press his chest for a while.

still aching...

Oh, junior brother...

"Today, the emperor led all the princes to go hunting in Xishan. The clothes and accessories are all ready, but there is only one thing..." The man drove the carriage and said to the people in the carriage.

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted: "It's okay, brother has already made one for me." Xu Yan leaned against the window with his forehead, and took off the bright red satin that had been hanging from his left ear with one hand. There is a layer of dead air under the look.

After a while, he opened a box next to him, took out the contents of the box and put it on his face, which was exactly the same as the dead Taifu Han.

"Xu You, senior brother asked you to follow me wholeheartedly, did you ever blame him?" His voice was hoarse, and he coughed softly after speaking.

Xu You's face was stern, and he replied in a deep voice: "Never."

Xu Yan smiled, that's right, he always does things tightly, and never reveals half of it to outsiders.

Walking to the foot of the mountain stream, Xu Yan changed into a silk dress with a plain crown and a green jade pendant around his waist. The jade pendant had a crack that was not too deep and not shallow, and the word "Pei" was engraved on it.

The emperor and his party camped in Xishan for a short rest, and called Rong Su to the tent.

"The recent battles have been victorious, and General Huo must have returned to Beijing." The emperor seemed in a good mood, and pulled Rong Su to sit aside and said: "Su'er is not young, and there is a suitable person beside him." .”

"Father was joking. The country comes first and the family comes first. The barbarians have attacked me with wild geese many times. If the foreign aggression is not eliminated, my son and minister will not sleep well all day, for fear of losing their hearts." Rong Su raised his eyebrows and bowed slightly to the emperor.

The emperor wanted to persuade him, but he saw a person being escorted in. The person was very weak, and his consciousness was not clear, as if someone pinched his neck and was panting rapidly, with his head down, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

"Who is this?" asked the emperor.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this person broke into the hunting circle for some reason. The subordinate wanted him to go back, but he seemed to be unwell and passed out."

He rudely shoved the man, and the man knelt on the ground, frowning and only raised his head weakly. This movement alone seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and his whole body collapsed again.

Rong Su glanced at the man, only to feel that his eyes were familiar. His figure, eyebrows and eyes resembled a person. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the emperor, and saw the emperor fixedly staring at the man, his hands trembling uncontrollably. He frowned imperceptibly, feeling uneasy in his heart.

"Quickly ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look at him." The emperor said to Eunuch Li beside him.

"No." Eunuch Li withdrew with the Imperial Forest Army.

After a while, he led the imperial doctor and walked in quickly.

Doctor Wang knelt down and took the man's pulse for a while, and said: "My majesty, this man has deficiency of spleen and kidney yang, and his qi can't transform into body fluid. I'm afraid he has been suffering from asthma for a long time." He wrote a prescription and handed it to him Eunuch Li, said to Eunuch Li: "These herbs still need to be visited by Lao Gonggong."

Hearing this, Eunuch Li glanced at the emperor, saw him nodding, and called for someone: "Go to the nearest pharmacy quickly and grab the medicine on it."

Then the emperor said to Eunuch Li: "You take good care of this man."

Rong Su waited for him to finish speaking and immediately said: "Father, this person's origin is unknown, it's better to be careful."

The emperor was very disapproving: "I am the king of a country, and I have thousands of soldiers to protect me. Are you afraid that this man who has no power to restrain a chicken will fail?"

Rong Su pursed his lips and didn't try to persuade him any more, but there was only hesitation in his heart, and he was even more uneasy.
