Dressed as Su Peisheng

Kangxi 50 years

February [-]th, Thirteenth Lord's Mansion

"Assassinated?"

The thirteenth elder brother was frightened for a moment after hearing Deng Yu's report, "What about the fourth brother? How is the fourth brother?"

"My lord is fine," Deng Yu replied, "Eunuch Zhang Bao, who came to the newspaper, said that Su Peisheng was seriously injured by a knife. The lord sent someone to come to Beijing immediately to invite Imperial Physician Ding, but Imperial Physician Ding said that Su Peisheng's knife I am afraid that only a foreign doctor can heal the injury."

Elder Brother Thirteen let out a sigh of relief, "You let Zhang Bao in, and I have something to ask him."

"Yes," Deng Yu took the order to go down, and after a while, he brought Zhang Bao and Zhang Qilin into Brother Thirteen's study.

Brother Thirteen is still recovering from his illness, leaning on the wooden rocking chair, covered with a thin blanket, in good spirits.

Zhang Bao and Zhang Qilin saluted the thirteenth elder brother, their faces turned pale.

"Are you sure the fourth brother is safe? Has the assassin been caught?"

The two Zhang Gonggongs shook their heads again and again, "The guards who came to Beijing only said that they wanted an imperial doctor, and did not explain anything else."

Elder Brother Thirteen frowned slightly, "Could it be those food officials again? The fourth brother really cut off too many people's jobs..."

"Thirteen elder brothers!"

Zhang Bao really couldn't wait any longer, even if he violated the rules, he said rashly, "The slaves want to invite you—"

"I see," Elder Thirteen looked out the window, "Tomorrow morning I will ask someone to bring a sign to the Ministry of Rites to ask for someone, don't worry."

Zhang Bao and Zhang Qilin looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces became even more flustered.

Zhang Qilin gritted his teeth, his heart thumped, and he knelt down with a plop, "I dare you, brother Thirteen, please send someone now. I'm afraid that Eunuch Su won't be there until tomorrow morning, and the servants really have nothing to do."

Zhang Bao also knelt down and kowtowed, "Even if the thirteenth elder brother wants to punish the slaves, I ask the thirteenth elder brother to send someone to the Ministry of Rites for the sake of Prince Yong. The slaves beg you... ..."

Deng Yu stood aside, a little stunned.

He knew the two Eunuchs Zhang from Prince Yong's Mansion, although they were somewhat low-key under the dazzling aura of Eunuch Su.

But everyone knows that the two Zhang Gonggongs have always been cautious and careful in handling affairs.In fact, from a certain point of view, it is much more reliable than that Mr. Su who is always scary.

But today, this hasty request is like trying to force the palace. It really violates the rules and does not conform to the usual style of these two people.

Brother Thirteen was also a little surprised. In his eyes, Su Peisheng was the fourth brother who valued him the most. It was only natural for him to go to Beijing to call the imperial doctor after being stabbed.

Therefore, even if it took a lot of trouble to go to the Ministry of Rites to find a missionary, Brother Thirteen agreed.But it was a bit too much for him to send someone to knock on the door of the Ministry of Rites this late at night?

Zhang Qilin waited for a long time, but he didn't hear Elder Thirteen's words. He felt anxious, and finally couldn't help but raised his head and said, "Elder Thirteen, it's not that the slaves deliberately exaggerated to persecute you because of a little personal friendship. It's really Tongzhou The people who came were in a hurry, and the order of the prince was also urgent. If you don’t believe it, you can ask the prince for proof afterwards. If the servants’ words are a little deceptive, you can take off the heads of the servants at any time!”

When Zhang Qilin got to this point, Yinxiang finally believed it.

Recalling what happened to Su Peisheng in front of the fourth brother, the thirteenth brother finally felt that he could no longer treat this matter as a slave's business.

"Deng Yu!"

"The slave is here!"

Deng Yu took the thirteenth elder brother's token, and rushed to the Ministry of Rites with Zhang Bao and Zhang Qilin.

Although the hour had passed, Deng Yu knocked on the door of the Ministry of Rites and asked the two remaining ministers where Martin was going.

In the end, it was also God's eyes that this Martin was still in Beijing a few days ago, but he went to the suburbs of Beijing to do research these two days.

"What should I do?" Deng Yu looked back at Zhang Bao and Zhang Qilin.

"There is still half an hour to close the city gate, there is still time!"

"Hey!"

Deng Yu didn't have time to stop the two father-in-laws who were rushing all the way to the city gate, so he decided to go back to Shisan Ye's mansion first and report back to Shisan Elder Brother.

Brother Thirteen also became anxious at this time, after thinking about it, he called in a team of guards and asked them to go out of the city to assist Zhang Bao and Zhang Qilin.

"As long as you find someone, send them to Tongzhou immediately!"

"Yes," the guards led away.

Elder Brother Thirteen turned his head to look out the window, but his brows were furrowed deeper and deeper.

Tongzhou Baorentang

The ward was brightly lit, but very depressing.

No one dared to move the knife on Su Wei's back. Although he didn't hurt his internal organs and didn't bleed a lot, he already had a high fever at this time.

The doctors gathered at the door, unable to get out, but there was no other way to go in.

Everyone knows that the longer the knife stays in the body, the more dangerous it will be. No one is sure how long the person on the wooden bed can survive.

The fourth elder brother stood by the bed, holding Su Wei's hand tightly.

Su Wei was sometimes in a coma and sometimes awake.

The fourth elder brother kept talking to him in a low voice, staring at his blushing face intently.

At this moment, the majestic Prince Yong no longer had the energy to force the doctor, and even the bodyguard called the imperial physician.

He even forgot the most basic image of a prince, his knees fell on the dusty ground, his trousers and boots were covered with dust, his robe was dirty, and there was no part of his body that could match that noble status.

The night was getting darker and darker, and the sound of clappers was knocked at Haishi, and the gate of Tongzhou had been unlocked.

Although Fu Nai had sent people to wait at the gate of the city, as soon as the people from Beijing arrived, they would immediately open the corner gate and enter the city.

But watching, time passed bit by bit, but the person who was supposed to come never came!

"Send someone again! If you run away and die, you have to bring the imperial doctor back!"

Bayan squatted on the threshold, his voice was so dry that it hurt to hear, "Three waves of people have already gone, and now the gates of the capital are closed, so it is useless to send people there."

"What's going on? I can't even bring back an imperial physician!" Fu Nai was so angry that he turned around and kicked an earthen pot away.

The crock rolled to the street and stopped right in front of Longkodo who had just dismounted.

"Lord Admiral," Fu Naiqiang calmed down and took a step forward, and Bayan also stood up.

"I want to see the prince," Longkodo said indifferently, as if he didn't pay attention to Fu Nai and others at all.

But Fu Nai refused to budge, raised his head and said, "My lord has already rested, please come back tomorrow morning, Lord Admiral."

"Why doesn't the prince go back to the government office if he wants to rest?" Long Kedo tilted his head slightly, "Aren't you afraid that the walls have ears if you live here?"

Fu Nai's eyes flashed, "Thank you, Admiral, for reminding me, the villain will guard the door for the prince."

Longkodo snorted coldly, looked up at Bao Ren Tang, but didn't make things difficult for Fu Nai and the others, turned around and got on his horse and left.

until midnight

Su Wei's body temperature rose sharply, and he suddenly began to twitch.

The doctors rushed into the house when they heard the fourth elder brother's screams.

The fourth elder brother and the seven souls went to the third soul, and was dragged to the side by someone, staggered against the wall, staring at the man surrounded by doctors, but there was no sound in his eyes.

"Don't be like this, Su Wei, I'm afraid..."

The person leaning against the wall slowly slid to the ground, his knees curled up, and two tears were streaked across his dirty face.

No one can associate him with that embarrassing appearance with the iron-blooded prince who broke the path of corruption of Tongzhou grain officials just now with a memorial.

It was the doctor in the house, who hadn't figured out who the person who had been guarding the wounded was at this moment.

Su Wei's clothes were cut open with scissors, and the wound on his back gushed out blood again as he continued to twitch.

The fourth elder brother held his arm tightly, lowered his head, he didn't dare to look at the bright red thick blood again.

An uncontrollable voice of pain overflowed from his throat, and he could only keep chanting that name, praying for everything he could.

"I'm scared, I'm really scared..."

"Su Wei, please, don't leave me..."

In a dark world, Su Wei walked forward in confusion.

He seemed to see a lot of pictures, but he didn't seem to see anything.

Colorful neon lights, towering reinforced concrete, cars passing by on the road, familiar faces that he missed.

Su Wei walked towards all that, he was indeed homesick...

"Su Wei!"

A voice sounded from behind, and Su Wei stopped abruptly.

He turned around, and there was a small child standing not far behind him, his face couldn't be seen clearly, but he knew who it was.

"Su Wei, I'm afraid..."

"Yinzhen?"

Su Wei ran towards the little child, but everything around him suddenly began to change rapidly.

"Yinzhen!"

Su Wei was frightened, he couldn't catch the child, but he could feel the overwhelming fear wrapped around him.

Su Wei ran with all his strength, and the child in front of him grew up little by little, but his appearance was not as calm and indifferent as he remembered, he was so painful and panicked.

"Let me go back! I want to stay with him—"

The people who have been unable to escape from this darkness are angry!

He rushed towards the person in front of him. For 30 years, the place with this person is his home!

"Stabilized! Stabilized!"

The doctors surrounding Su Wei all heaved a sigh of relief, and Su Wei's twitching body gradually calmed down.

The fourth elder brother scrambled to the front of the bed, like a drowning man grabbing a straw on the shore, and tightly holding the hand that was slowly warming up again.

Child time has passed, ugly time is three quarters, the darkest hour before dawn.

Both Fu Nai and Bayan sat weakly on the threshold of Bao Ren Tang. The night in February was still very cold, and every movement in the backyard brought a gust of cold wind into their collars.

"Why is this night so long? When will it be dawn?" Bayan's voice was hoarse and weak.

Fu Nai didn't answer him, because he didn't know whether it would be dawn or not.

suddenly,

"Da da... da da..."

"What sound?" Bayan suddenly raised his head.

Fu Nai supported the door frame and stood up slowly.

"Da da, da da, da da..."

"It's the sound of hooves!" Bayan rushed to the intersection.

On the dark stone road, a string of flames came oncoming!

"We found the doctor! We found the doctor!"

Zhang Qilin's voice woke up the drowsy Bao Ren Tang.

A series of tall horses stopped in front of Bao Ren Tang.

Zhang Bao and Zhang Qilin got off their horses, dragged Ding Qi and the brown-haired Martin into the gate!
