Minister Gu Ming can't take care of himself

The illness repeated several times until March [-]st when Yuqingzi came back.

It was late at night when he came, and Xu Guanchen was carried out by Xiao Zhi from the hot spring pool.Xiao Zhi helped him change his clothes, and he lay on the couch, covered with a quilt, with his hands exposed, and fell asleep.

Yu Qingzi sat by the couch, felt his pulse first, then took out a medicine bottle from his bosom and handed it to Xiao Zhi: "Feed him."

Xiao Zhi pulled out the stopper, took the medicine bottle and poured it into the palm of his hand, half a black pill rolled out of it.

Only half.

Xiao Zhi helped Xu Guanchen up, let him lean on the pillow, picked up the teacup in one hand, and first fed him a drink of water to moisten his throat.

Xu Guanchen's illness was not as severe as before, he was vaguely conscious, and obediently took a sip of his tea.

Xiao Zhi put down the teacup, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and then fed him the medicine.Pat him on the back again so that he can swallow the medicine.

After Yuqingzi felt his pulse, he stepped aside.Seeing that he is not in any serious trouble at this time, I want to withdraw.

Xiao Zhi recalled what Xu Guanchen had said before, and said, "The Taoist priest stays, it won't be too late to go when Guanchen wakes up."

Yu Qingzi was stunned, and then annoyed: "What do you mean? Will I still harm my apprentice?"

"No." Xiao Zhi laid Xu Guanchen flat on the couch, covered him with a quilt, and went out to talk with Yu Qingzi for fear of disturbing him, "When Guanchen woke up, he said that if the Taoist priest came, he would definitely let me stay. Chang. Now that the Daoist is here, I won’t keep the Daoist for fear that he will blame me when he wakes up.”

"That's not necessary." Yu Qingzi glanced at him and raised his eyebrows, "Your Majesty is quite good at coaxing him, just coax him."

Xiao Zhi turned around, closed the door of the inner room, and said bluntly: "I also really want to know who gave the Taoist priest's medicine."

Yu Qingzi's expression changed immediately, and he flicked his sleeves: "The old man made the medicine himself. This medicine is difficult to mix. There was a mistake a few days ago. The old man didn't do his job well. If your majesty wants to investigate, just take the old man. "

Xiao Zhi didn't answer.

After waiting for a while and not listening to him, Yu Qingzi bowed to him: "It's windy at night, the old man can't stand the cold, so I'll go back first."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

He just pushed open the door of the palace, only to hear Xiao Zhi shout "Chengde" in the palace, and the little Cheng Gonggong came out from behind the pillars in front of the corridor, and the imperial guards stood in a row in front of him.

Eunuch Xiaocheng bowed to the Taoist priest: "Master Taoist, I have offended you so much."

Feiyang followed him, Yuqingzi ignored Xiao Cheng's father-in-law, but looked at Feiyang, smiled wryly, and said, "It took a lot of trouble, do you really want to take me?"

Feiyang didn't know what was going on, but felt that Yuqingzi's gaze made him feel uncomfortable, so he moved his eyes away.

The people on both sides confronted each other quietly for a while, but Yu Qingzi did not move at all, neither moving forward nor retreating.Sure enough, it was windy at night, making his sleeves vibrate.

No one spoke, and suddenly Feiyang called out: "Brother."

Xu Guanchen gathered his outer clothes and his hair was loose, pushed open the door, and hurried out.

The medicine did work, only half a pill, and he woke up soon.

Xu Guanchen stood still a few steps behind him, and called softly: "Master."

"It's just in time for you to wake up." Yu Qingzi never looked back at him, "Your Majesty wants to arrest me, he listens to you, you ask the people in front to get out of the way."

Xu Guanchen pursed his lips and said, "The apprentice also has two questions to ask the master."

Yu Qingzi said coldly: "What do you mean by that, you also want to take him as a teacher?"

"No." Xu Guanchen hurriedly explained, "I just want to ask Master a few words, and when Master answered, the people in front naturally retreated."

"Then if the master doesn't answer, are you going to torture the master to extract a confession?"

Xu Guanchen looked troubled, and didn't know how to explain it.

Yu Qingzi was quick to talk for a while, but when he came back to his senses, thinking about it carefully, he also felt that he had said too much, so he softened his tone and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

"Is the medicine I took the first two times different from the medicine I took on March [-]th?" Xu Guanchen paused for a moment, and did not ask any further questions because of the presence of other people.

Yuqingzi admitted it simply: "Yes."

"Is that medicine..."

Yuqingzi continued: "I went to Yanbei to ask for medicine for you for my teacher, and that expert only made two pills. At that time, you couldn't afford to wait, and the master came back with those two medicines. After eating That one was prepared by Master himself. There was a mistake when making it, so the medicine didn’t work that time. Master has re-thought it in the past few days, and the half you just took is the same. Look at you It looks like it’s probably okay.”

He spoke so firmly, for a while, Xu Guanchen didn't know what to say.

Yuqingzi tilted his head, saw that he was silent, and said: "That expert is Jiang Yuelang, the poison sage of Yanbei. You were not allowed to investigate before. It was a rule in his school that he did not treat outsiders. He is a man in the Jianghu. , I don’t want to be known by others, he broke this rule, he is still a member of the imperial court, and he is afraid of being ridiculed by the people of Jianghu. If you have to investigate, you might as well ask Zhong Yao who has stayed in Yanbei all year round.”

Xu Guanchen had stayed in Yanbei for a year, and he had heard a little about the name of poison sage Jiang Yuelang, but he had never seen this person before, and he didn't know whether the rumors were true or not.

At this time, Yu Qingzi spoke so clearly, and turned his back to him, refusing to look at him, obviously annoyed.

Xu Guanchen thought for a while, then said: "Master, I have no other intentions."

"Yeah." The tone was still cold, with his back turned, but his expression could not be seen clearly, "If you finish asking, it's time to let Master go home, right?"

To be on the safe side, Xu Guanchen asked again: "Is Master still living in the Duke's Mansion? I'll go back to Master tomorrow for a pulse check."

Yu Qingzi smiled: "When am I not in the Duke's Mansion? You come."

Xu Guanchen glanced at Xiao Zhi, then secretly shook his head at him, and Xiao Zhi reluctantly waved his hand.

The imperial guards lined up on both sides of the steps, Yu Qingzi flicked his sleeves and walked down the steps.

The old Taoist priest has traveled all over the world for many years. He is full of tendons, but his clothes look thin, and he looks like a fairy.The night wind blew in front of him, lifting his robe, which seemed a bit dusty.

Xu Guanchen looked at his back, paused his footsteps, and finally called "Master" when he was about to leave, then ran forward and ran to his side.

Yu Qingzi turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I..." Xu Guanchen looked up at him, and said softly, "I know Master won't harm me, but if Master has something to do, he must tell me, okay?"

He watched this little Taoist grow up. He used to read scriptures and meditate in the temple. He had morning and evening classes, and he never slack off. He was more sincere and immortal than his brothers.Yuqingzi naturally likes him the most, otherwise she wouldn't run around for him.

But he pursed his lips and didn't say much after all, he just rubbed Xu Guanchen's head: "Good boy, with half a pill, you'll be cured of your illness. Master will bring it for you. You just wait for it." , don't ask too much."

Xu Guanchen sensed something wrong with these words, and said, "Master, didn't you say... that medicine is..."

Yu Qingzi consciously talked too much, looked down, and said loudly to Xiao Zhi in the hall: "Guan Chen is not wearing shoes, Your Majesty, please come and take him back."

Just now when Xu Guanchen woke up, he ran out of the room in a hurry, with bare feet on the ground.The slate floor was originally cooler, but once you get used to it, you won't feel it anymore.

Yuqingzi ignored him and walked away.

Xiao Zhi stood behind Xu Guanchen, sighed softly, put his hands together, and hugged him back.

"Master... it seems that something is wrong. From the very beginning, I felt that he didn't tell me something." Xu Guanchen sat down on the couch, held Xiao Zhi's hand, and told him to sit beside him, "You go ahead Didn't someone go to investigate in a few days? Did they find anything?"

Xiao Zhi said: "The news came back that he has indeed been refining medicine in the Duke's mansion for the past few days."

"so."

Just now, he ran around on the ground with bare feet, and Eunuch Xiao Cheng knocked on the door outside, and came in with hot water and a towel.

Eunuch Xiao Cheng put the hot water on the ground, Xiao Zhi waved his hand, let him go out, squatted down in front of Xu Guanchen, tested the water temperature, then held his ankle and put his feet into the warm water.

When the water soaked his feet, Xu Guanchen was still in a trance, and said in a daze: "I'll go back tomorrow and get my pulse, and I'll ask him again."

Xiao Zhi picked up the towel and soaked it in hot water.

It wasn't until Xu Guanchen came to his senses that he almost jumped up from the tub. After calming down, he also rolled up his sleeves to get water: "I'll do it myself."

Xiao Zhi pinched his calf: "Why are you panicking?"

Xu Guanchen took the towel in his hand, still said: "I will do it myself."

Seeing his appearance, Xiao Zhi handed him the towel and sat down beside him again.

Xu Guanchen was still in a daze, dried his hands, straightened up, stepped on each other in the basin with his feet, splashing small water.

"Master, he..." He suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Xiao Zhi, when he saw Xiao Zhi, he suddenly forgot what he wanted to say.

"Wash your feet seriously." Xiao Zhi didn't have the slightest smile on his face, which made him serious, "I'll send someone to investigate this matter tomorrow, you don't have to worry about it."

Xu Guanchen responded and continued to step on the basin.

Xiao Zhi asked him, "Are you feeling better?"

"Yes." Xu Guanchen nodded, "Master's medicine is indeed very useful."

"How do you know the medicine you took a few days ago..."

Xu Guanchen replied casually: "I have been ill for a long time and became a doctor."

Xiao Zhi looked at his side face with his head lowered, concentrating on stepping on his feet, and suddenly felt a little distressed.

How much medicine do you have to take to have a slightly sweet aftertaste in the bitter medicine?

To say that the fragrance of medicine sticks to his bones is clearly not a compliment.

Sensing his gaze, Xu Guanchen also turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Zhi asked him, "Is the water cold?"

"It's not cold." Xu Guanchen leaned back, raised his feet, picked up the towel and wiped it twice, "I've finished washing."

Xiao Zhi stuffed him into the bed.

In March, he still had to cover himself with a winter blanket.

Without calling Mr. Cheng to come in, Xiao Zhi carried out the tub himself.

When he came back, he turned on the light, and the curtains in front of the couch were hanging down, meandering on the ground. Xu Guanchen lay on his side, and when he came back, he yawned and wanted to sleep, but he said to him: "It doesn't look like we've been married for three months. , it looks like 30 years."

Xiao Zhi didn't dislike his warm hug, hugged him uncomfortable, and directly grabbed him into his arms, saying: "Some are 30 years old, don't worry."
