Minister Gu Ming can't take care of himself

On the long street, Xu Guanchen was suddenly pulled out of the crowd by someone, and in a panic, he took a closer look.

"Master?"

Yuqingzi pulled him and walked in the direction of Duke Dingguo's mansion.Eunuch Xiao Cheng turned his head, took another deep look at Yuan Ce and his party, and left with them.

After crossing this long street, there are gradually fewer people.

Yu Qingzi slowed down and said angrily, "Have you forgotten what I told you?"

"No." Xu Guanchen pulled out his hand and rubbed his wrist, "I remember, Master asked me to come here to take medicine today. But Yuan Ce's group of people blocked the road, and the carriage couldn't move, so I was going to walk back home."

Yuqingzi hummed, and asked him for the first time: "Did the emperor come back with you?"

"Xiao Yuzhi has too many things to do, so I didn't let him follow."

"What about Feiyang?"

"Feiyang..." Xu Guanchen was startled, and looked around, "Where's Feiyang?"

Eunuch Xiao Cheng waved to Fei Yang in the distance, and Fei Yang ran over.

"Really." Yu Qingzi sighed, "You are so confused by yourself, and you have a child with you."

Xu Guanchen asked Feiyang: "What are you doing? Why don't you follow brother?"

"Feiyang saw..." Feiyang scratched his hair, as if he didn't know how to describe it to him, "It's just a..."

He thought for a long time, but he didn't know how to say it, so Xu Guanchen said, "I'll talk about it later when I think about it, don't worry."

Yuqingzi looked serious, as if he was still a little angry, and said, "Let the emperor come with you next time."

"It's not an important matter, the palace is also very close to the Duke's Mansion..."

Yu Qingzi put a little emphasis on his tone: "You dare not even listen to Master's words?"

Xu Guanchen persisted in whisking the dust, bent down and bowed: "I dare not."

In front of the Duke's mansion, Xu Yue was waiting in front of the mansion, when she saw him coming, she rushed up to greet him and called "Brother".

Xu Guanchen asked with a smile: "Why do you have the heart to wait in front of the door today?"

"I see that the old Taoist priest has been staying in the room recently, shutting the door. I think it's because my brother's illness is a bit tricky, so I don't feel at ease, so I wait here."

Yu Qingzi flicked his sleeves and walked forward quickly: "What's the trouble? Your brother will be healed in a month."

Thinking that he was in a bad mood today, Xu Guanchen made a silent gesture towards Xu Yue, pushed everyone away, and followed him alone.

Xu Guanchen poked his head out from behind him: "Master?"

"What?"

"Master, what's wrong?"

"You are disobedient, and almost pissed off Master."

"Then I'll be obedient." Xu Guanchen responded obediently, "Master, you don't want to be angry. Next time I will ask Xiao Yuzhi to accompany me, so I won't join in the fun."

While talking, Yu Qingzi grabbed his hand, felt his pulse, and blew on his beard: "How are you doing?"

Xu Guanchen subconsciously said: "Better..."

"I'm a doctor now, to be honest."

"Still the same, confused, sometimes sleepy."

Yu Qingzi sighed, raised his hand and rubbed his head: "Don't worry, after taking the medicine this time, if necessary, take it again, and you will be fine."

Xu Guanchen nodded: "Yes."

Yuqingzi put his hand on his hair down, and patted his face: "You are Master's obedient disciple. Master has practiced Taoism and practiced medicine all his life, and he won't be able to heal even his own disciples."

Xu Guanchen faintly felt that something was wrong, but he still nodded and responded "Thank you, Master".

Yuqingzi took his hand, turned his back to him, smiled bitterly silently, and led him back to his yard.

His yard is full of medical books and herbs.It was like this when Xu Guanchen came back, and it is still like this when he goes back this time.

Yuqingzi got another small alchemy stove from nowhere, and put it in the middle of the room. The alchemy stove was still warm, and there was some heat in the room, as if the stove had just been turned off not long ago.

Across a small table, the two sat down facing each other. Yu Qingzi took a hand pillow and checked his pulse carefully again.

This time, he was more serious than usual in getting the pulse. He closed his eyes and frowned, without saying a word, and pondered for a long time.

After a long time, Yuqingzi withdrew his hand and took out a small porcelain bottle containing jet-black pills from his little bag.

Xu Guanchen had seen this small porcelain bottle twice, and the medicine he took the first two times was taken out of it.

Yuqingzi put the mouth of the bottle against the palm of his hand, poured out a black pill, handed it to him, and got up to pour the tea himself.

He stared at Xu Guanchen swallowing the pill: "How is it?"

Xu Guanchen drank the tea in the tea bowl, felt it carefully, and said seriously: "I don't seem to feel anything yet."

"Don't go back, wait a while at the Duke's mansion to see if there is any reaction."

"Okay." Xu Guanchen thought for a while, "It's just that the medicine I took this time seems to be different from the previous two times. The medicine this time has a bitter aftertaste, while the aftertaste of the previous two times was sweet."

Yuqing shot him on the forehead: "Do you really think that I have become a doctor after a long illness?"

Xu Guanchen smiled: "Of course Master is the best."

Yuqingzi stroked his beard: "Yeah."

Xu Guanchen said: "Master has been dealing with the pile of medicinal materials recently, let's take a rest today, shall I play a game of chess with Master?"

"it is good."

Xu Guanchen got up, went outside and ordered someone to bring the chess pieces and lay them out on the table in front of Yu Qingzi.

The two of them placed pieces on the chessboard one after another, chatting about gossip.

Yu Qingzi seemed to have no intention of asking: "Where does Yuan Ce from Xiling live?"

"It probably lives in the post house on the west side, which was cleaned up a few days ago."

"Really? Just now the master saw that there are many people around him."

"Yes—Master, I have won the first piece." Xu Guanchen picked up a black piece on the plate, held it in the palm of his hand, and covered the piece warmly, "Didn't he be assassinated last time, so I followed him around?" There should be more people."

Yu Qingzi stopped mentioning Yuan Ce, and asked Xu Guanchen how he felt from time to time.Xu Guanchen didn't feel anything wrong for the time being, so he joked about how nervous he was today.

Xu Guanchen had lunch at the Duke's Mansion, played two games of chess with Yu Qingzi, and walked around the garden of the Duke's Mansion with him.Eunuch Xiaocheng reminded that the palace was about to be banned, so he ordered the car to be set up and prepared to go back.

Seeing that he was indeed fine, Yu Qingzi felt relieved a little, and sent him to the gate of the house: "Go."

In the evening, the long street was very empty, and there were no people there.

Xu Guanchen was sitting in the carriage, not far away when he heard the sound of a horse bell in front of him.

Feiyang was the first to hear the sound, and his back straightened, looking very alert.

Xu Guanchen comforted Feiyang, opened the curtain and looked, it was Yuan Ce's group.

Presumably they had just met Xiao Zhi before leaving the palace, and they were about to enter the palace again, so they bumped into each other on the road.

Eunuch Xiao Cheng asked: "Grandpa, should you give way to them, or?"

That Yuan Ce is a difficult person.Xu Guanchen sighed softly and said helplessly, "Give them way."

Yuan Ce and his party rode horses, their hoofs rattling, and they walked slowly.

The coachman drove the horses and moved to the side of the road, letting them go first.

But Yuan Ce stopped in front of the carriage, and sent a follower forward.

The attendant cupped his fists and said loudly: "Is the young master of Dingguo's mansion in the carriage? My master invites the young master to get out of the carriage and see him."

To be on the safe side, Eunuch Xiaocheng took a look at Xu Guanchen, and replied on his behalf: "The time of imperial confinement is approaching, Your Majesty summoned me, and my father-in-law rushed back to the palace. It is really inconvenient, please forgive me."

Yuan Ce drove forward leisurely, stood still in front of the carriage, and drew out the saber at his waist with his backhand.

The sabers of the Xiling people are not like the long swords of Liang State. Their sabers are curved like a crescent moon, and they are beautifully curved.

At this moment, without further ado, he drew his saber out of its sheath, and the people around Xu Guanchen also became alert and drew out their weapons one after another.

Yuan Ce did not rush, hooked up the corner of the curtain with the tip of the knife, lifted the curtain, squinted into the carriage, and called him every word: "Little Lord?"

Not understanding what he was going to do, Xu Guanchen winked at Eunuch Xiao Cheng, and got out of the carriage alone.

He stood still, held the whisk in his hand, and bowed to Yuan Ce: "I have seen Your Highness."

Yuan Ce put the saber back into its sheath, and only returned the salute while riding on the horse, smiling half-truthfully, "Long time no see."

Xu Guanchen also said: "Long time no see."

He stayed in Yanbei for a year, during which he fought Yuan Ce twice.

The first time it was for the wandering bandits who came to Yanbei from Xiling, and I saw it from afar on the tower; the other time it was for Feiyang, it should be said that it was for thousands of martial puppets.The northwestern border is undecided, and towns change hands, which is a common occurrence. That was the time when Xu Guanchen and Zhong Yao brought Feiyang back from him, so Feiyang was very afraid of his horse's bell ringing.

Yuan Ce looked at him like a poisonous snake, his poison-hardened gaze scanned his body twice, and said: "I saw you three years ago, you were such a small one, and it's still small now. It's just that the eyebrows and eyes are wide open." It's a little bit different, not as green as a child before."

Xu Guanchen didn't know what he meant, so he just replied: "Your Highness hasn't changed much."

Yuan Ce smiled, and still said half truthfully, "It's kind of like your brother."

Xu Guanchen remained silent.

Ashamed to say, when my brother Xu Wen went, he was only ten years old.After more than ten years, the appearance of his brother is already very vague to him.

Besides, the elder brother died at the hands of Yuan Ce, Xu Guanchen didn't know what Yuan Ce meant when he mentioned his elder brother, and he didn't want to mention his elder brother to him.

Yuan Ce continued: "You are studying literature, and your elder brother is practicing martial arts, but there is a faint arrogance between the eyebrows and eyes, is it unique to you people in Dingguo's mansion?"

Xu Guanchen lowered his eyes: "I don't know."

"That's it." Yuan Ce glanced back intentionally or unintentionally, "Your brother, you looked like you now before he died. He is a very admirable opponent."

Xu Guanchen managed to calm down, and said: "The dead are the most important, Your Highness should stop mentioning my elder brother."

"What?" Yuan Ce got off his horse, walked up to him, and said that again, "Your brother was like this before he died, he gritted his teeth and didn't speak, do you know why he didn't speak?"

Xu Guanchen's body flickered, and he seemed to be clenching his teeth, and didn't speak.

"He's full of blood and can't speak." Yuan Ce sneered twice, took off the jade pendant around his waist, and secretly stuffed it to him, "Didn't Duke Ding's mansion not find his body, but set up a tomb for him? There are two relics of Xu Wen, including long sword and armor, come to Fengyue Tower tomorrow, if you ask me, I will give it to you."

Xu Guanchen turned his back and didn't accept it. He swayed again and took half a step back.

Yuan Ce pursed his lips and hung the jade pendant on his waist.At the end, he even followed the tassels hanging on the Shun jade pendant: "Huh?"

In a blink of an eye, he saw Xiao Zhi riding a fast horse, leading people.It was the letter that Xu Guanchen asked Mr. Cheng to send someone to report.

There was a narrow smile in Yuan Ce's eyes: "You came very quickly, and you came in person. It seems that you are quite favored."

When Xiao Zhi approached, everyone knelt down to salute Xiao Zhi, Yuan Ce also lifted his clothes and knelt down: "I chatted with the young man, since your majesty is here, I will return it to your majesty."

Xiao Zhi had no time to pay attention to him, he stepped forward quickly and touched Xu Guanchen's face.

Xu Guanchen's face turned pale, and his lips were bloodless, as if he was barely able to stand still.As soon as Xiao Zhi came, he held Xiao Zhi's hand and leaned against him secretly to stand still.

Xiao Zhi and Yuan Ce said a few words, but Xu Guanchen didn't hear clearly what was said, only felt his head buzzing.

After Yuan Ce led his group away, Xu Guanchen covered his lips with his hand and vomited a mouthful of blood.

Xiao Zhi hugged him and held his hand: "What's going on?"

"Old problem." Xu Guanchen shrank into his arms unconsciously, "Xiao Yuzhi, I'm cold."

He hadn't had a disease for several months, and almost everyone, even himself, forgot about the problem of cold and fever.

Xiao Zhi looked between his eyebrows, the cinnabar was so pale that it almost lost its color.
