The Story of Leaping from the Dragon Gate

Yao Zizhang is much more convenient than the prince himself in his role as a young prince.Song Yu participated in many shady activities behind the scenes.Correspondingly, it is inevitable to leave handles, which cannot withstand scrutiny.Whether in the past or in the future, there are many places to borrow from this uncle.Song Yu felt extremely hesitant, he was reluctant to let a strong man cut off his wrist, and he was unwilling to fall short.

He said in a perfunctory manner: "No matter what, my son can trust my uncle as a man. The dignified son of the Duke of Xiangguo will definitely not do such a rebellious thing. If there is no real evidence, a good person has been wronged... Grandfather, I don't know how to feel sad..."

Inside and outside the words, it was nothing more than a reminder to the emperor not to forget the identity of Yao Zizhang, let alone the status of his father, Duke Xiang.

The emperor glanced at him indifferently, and said: "Is he a good person? If you don't check carefully, how can you know? If the Duke of Xiangguo has no way to teach his son, I will be extra merciful if I don't ask him about his crimes. How can he be so sad? Besides, what about the eldest son? His Yao family doesn't have only one son. There is even more than one legitimate son. Yao Zizhang can't do well, so just get a sensible brother to do it."

After Song Yu heard these words, he was stunned, and then he realized that his father might have already obtained the real evidence and negotiated the terms with his grandfather Yao Xie.I can't complain that Xiangguo declared illness early this morning, but it didn't show up at all.

The eldest son, Yao Zizhang, is the fourth son, Yao Zigong.The prince has never paid much attention to this playful little uncle.It was only then that he remembered that Yao Zigong was also a Jinshi and passed the imperial examinations, and he was fully qualified to inherit the title.Or, as far as the grandfather is concerned, as long as the seat of Duke Xiang is still in the hands of the Yao family, there is no essential difference whether the successor is the eldest or the fourth.However, for his prince, it was a world of difference.

Song Yu tried his best to outline the image of Fourth Uncle Yao in his mind, but it was very blurry for a moment.He couldn't believe that the emperor would lose his head and want Yao Zigong to replace Yao Zizhang as Duke of Xiangguo.

Immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and spoke earnestly and earnestly: "Father! The Duke of Xiangguo has always been in charge of the Zhongshuling, and it is very important to carry out the administration. If the person in charge is not a human being, I am afraid... it will harm the country and the people, and there will be endless disasters! !"

The emperor looked at his son, and suddenly chuckled: "What is wrong with a person? Harm the country and harm the people, causing endless disasters? Generally, they are the children of the Yao family. Could it be that he, Yao Zizhang, is the pillar, and Yao Zigong was taught by your grandfather to become a disaster? Son, relatives and estrangements should not be confused with the virtuous and the foolish. I think you should have understood such a simple truth a long time ago."

The emperor meant that there was no room for change in this matter.

The prince raised his head.

Father and son looked at each other in silence.

The emperor's condition has been repeated in the past few years. Even if he improved a few times in the middle, it is just that his spirits have recovered, his energy has recovered, and his body has always been thin.At this moment, one can see at a glance that the bones are broken, the bones are broken, and the old age is full of signs of decay.The prince even had a feeling that he only needed to take a few steps forward, stretch out his hand to strangle the wrinkled neck, and apply a little force to end the weak life of the other party and clear away all obstacles in front of him.

This idea was so tempting, as if it carried an extremely powerful attraction, he could hardly control his movements, and his fingers trembled off the ground.

The emperor suddenly reached out, lifted the lid of the medicine bowl to have a look, closed it again, and called softly: "Qingyun."

"The minister is here."

"The medicine is cold, come to change the heat."

Qingyun stepped forward quietly, picked up the medicine bowl, and went down silently.

The prince woke up with a start, his back covered in cold sweat.

Facing the emperor's eyes, he saw that those gazes were silent, yet bottomless, as if he had already penetrated into the most obscure thoughts deep in his heart.

The emperor stopped looking at his son, and began to close his eyes and meditate: "It's only two days away from Shisan, so hurry up, I'm waiting for you."

In order to show the importance of the matter, the prince called relevant people to discuss the details of receiving the mission even after the court meeting. The emperor knew about it.

Song Yu hurried out of the bedroom and went to the Mingsi Hall where the affairs were discussed.Several ministers found that the prince, who was usually very energetic, became absent-minded today.

In the evening, Song Wei took the chopsticks and put the sun-dried earthworms into clay pots one by one.Lan Di hurriedly covered her face and ran to the pharmacy to boil medicine.The sixth prince laughed with his arms crossed, while Li Yi shook his head and sighed beside him.

It's past the hour of feeding the birds, and the sparrows are so full of food that they are jumping around in front of the porch, reluctant to leave, but the two little pigeons haven't come yet.Young Master Dugu's life is very regular, these days the pigeons have come very punctually.Song Wei raised her head to look at the sky, and thought to herself: Could it be that Dugu Lai did not keep secrets and was caught by the eldest lady?

After all the earthworms were packed, Li Yi took the jar and held it in his hand.

The night of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year was so violent, and after only two days, His Highness the Sixth Highness seemed to have nothing to do with it, and it was time to eat, sleep, and play.Li Yi has learned lessons a long time ago, knowing that superficial phenomena are not credible, and dare not slack off in the slightest.After all, even a smashed earthen jar can kill people.

Suddenly two small gray dots appeared in the air, Song Wei keenly spotted the figure of the pigeon, stood up, made rice balls and waited.Because it was getting late, it was not very clear at first.After a while, the two small ash balls gradually grew bigger and finally landed in the palm of the hand.While the pigeon was pecking at it, Song Wei took out the small paper roll from the ankle ring.

I always feel that there is another reason for the pigeon to be late, and I feel a little inexplicably uneasy in my heart.Turning to Li Yi, he said, "I'm thirsty."

Li Yi responded and carried the jar into the room to serve him tea.His Highness the Sixth Highness, who bowed his head to feed the pigeons, exuded a warm and gentle aura.Butler Li believes that in this short period of time, nothing will happen.

Li Yi entered the house with his front feet, and Song Wei crouched under the pillar behind him and unfolded Dugu Lai's letter.

The light is not good, and the handwriting is quite difficult to read.Fortunately, the characters this time are also relatively large. There are only two lines on the palm-sized white cotton paper, and they can barely read clearly when they get close.

"Brother Xiaoyin, my sister is sick and bleeding a lot. Come and save my sister, come, come, come! Come!..."

In the end, several consecutive "quick" characters were staggered and scribbled as they went backwards. You can imagine how panicked the writers were.

Song Wei didn't expect it to be such a letter, so she read it again before standing up.Surprised and confused, he didn't respond when the teacup was at hand.

"Your Highness?"

Song Wei regained her composure.The ready-made imperial doctor is right in front of him, no matter what, saving lives is the most important thing.

"Master Li, please hurry up and get the medicine box, and follow me to the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion."

Li Yi asked in surprise: "Why does Your Highness say this?"

Song Wei didn't speak, and directly handed over Duguli's letter.Li Yi's eyesight was not as good as his, and he could only see clearly when he walked into the bedroom with the light on.When he came out, his face changed completely: "What, what, what happened? How did His Highness know... Is what the eldest son said true?"

He was thinking fast, hesitating between the truth and falsehood of the news, he always felt that Song Wei was full of suspicion, and probably colluded with the Dugu siblings to do some tricks.After thinking about it, I felt that the incident was too sudden, there was really a conspiracy, such an excuse was unthinkable.In case something really happened to Miss Dugu, I, the imperial doctor who lives in the Hou's mansion, is indeed duty-bound.

It's normal for Li Yi to be suspicious, but Song Wei knew that Dugu Li would never make fun of his sister.Frowning and thinking for a moment, there was a calculation in his heart.

He called the nearest guard over and said: "General Mu Ping came to see him, and said that the king has urgent matters." He stood up straight with his hands behind his back, his whole body dignified.The guard was taken aback, agreed, and hurried away.

Seeing that Li Yi was still struggling, Song Wei said, "I'll invite General Mou to go with me, can Master Li rest assured?"

The sixth prince suddenly looked like a prince from inside to outside, Li Yi couldn't adapt very much.Before he had time to answer, he heard him say again: "If Master Li is relieved, then make preparations quickly. Human life is at stake, so why not delay it."

Li Yi fetched the medicine box, and it happened that Mu Ping had also arrived in front of the sixth prince.

Song Wei greeted the two of them into the bedroom, and handed Dugu Li's letter to Mu Ping.While explaining: "This is brought by the eldest son's pigeon. A few days ago, I just wrote some daily trivial matters, and I had the right to have fun. I don't want to have such a change today. The Marquis Xian is not in the mansion, and the inner house is empty. The old Marquis is old. Miss Lai is in charge. If there is any accident, there is no one to take care of it. The three of you, let's go and have a look."

Mu Ping looked at the small piece of white cotton paper repeatedly, as if he was trying to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.Feeling tricky for a while, hesitant to decide.

Song Wei got anxious, stomped her feet and said, "Xiao Li complained before that his sister's health was not good, if it was really some hidden illness and emergency, it would be a little bit late. Go and see what can be done? It won't lose a piece of meat! You don't believe me, that's easy, General Mou, please tie me with you, will it work?" After finishing speaking, he stretched his arms directly in front of Mou Ping.

Mou Ping wondered: "How can you trespass in Missy's boudoir?"

Fan Fang has an open atmosphere, and Song Wei has come into contact with all women and men. He didn't expect this before, and he was dumbfounded when he heard the words.Immediately came up with a solution: "Let's say that the old master has suffered from an old illness, please ask Mr. Li to see him. Halfway quietly turned to the yard of the eldest lady, I asked Xiao Li to open the door, and only Mrs. Li went in. There are the eldest son and the eldest lady. Accompanied by the servant girl, it should be fine."

Mu Ping thought about it and thought it was acceptable.The sixth prince's words and deeds did not seem to be deceitful, and he couldn't help becoming anxious. He said nothing else at the moment, and led Song Wei and Li Yi to the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion.The guard post in the mansion is arranged by him alone, so it is very convenient to avoid the eyes and ears of others.

When he came to Duguying's courtyard, he just knocked and the door opened.

The little pigeon has already returned, but Duguli didn't get Song Wei's reply, and was waiting at the door anxiously.Seeing Brother Xiaoyin's figure, before he could speak, he cried "Wow".Song Wei hurried in, and Mou Ping and Li Yi also walked in, turned around and closed the courtyard door.

"Don't cry, Xiaoli, this Master Li is an imperial doctor, let him see your sister quickly."

A female voice next to him said: "Master Li, please come with your slaves."

Only then did Song Wei discover that it was Dugu Ying's personal maid, Xiang Jin, who had given her the money bag when she fled back then.It seems that she has been waiting with Dugu Lai at the door.

Li Yi and Xiangjin went to the inner room, and Dugu Lai also followed.Xiangjin stopped in her tracks: "Young Master, wait outside, okay?"

The light at the door illuminated her two red eyes, and Song Wei had an ominous premonition in her heart.He stretched out his hand to hold Dugu Lai back: "Little Lai, the imperial doctor is here, you can rest assured, there will be more troubles if there are too many people."

Dugu Lai held Song Wei's hand tightly, and Song Wei could clearly feel the trembling coming from his body.I vaguely saw a long wooden bench under the grape arbor in the courtyard, and I pulled the child over to sit down.

Mu Ping was originally standing by the courtyard gate, but suddenly he lifted his foot and walked to the side rooms on both sides.Song Wei stared at it for a while before realizing that he was checking the movements of the servants.In Miss Dugu's yard, apart from her personal maid, there are also two nuns and several poor maids.Although there was not much movement in the master's inner room, there was no sound in the side room, which is too abnormal.

Mu Ping turned around, came back and whispered to Song Weiwei: "It's just that I'm fast asleep, it doesn't matter."

Song Wei could hear the hesitation in his voice, probably it was inconvenient to say it in front of Dugu Lai.It's just nightfall, and all the servants are sleeping like this, maybe someone added something to the dinner.Song Wei thought, this is not so easy for others to do.

Duguli gradually calmed down, Song Weirou asked softly: "You know I'm in the East Hospital, with the imperial doctor by my side, why didn't you tell my sister? What if I didn't come?"

Dugulu choked and said: "My sister refused...she is so fierce...Xiang Jin and Mu Jin also refused, and kept looking at me. Later, my sister was bleeding, and I managed to let the pigeon out in the chaos, and my sister was so angry that she wanted to fight Me, but she bleeds a lot...so scary...she insists on Xiangjin to drag me out, I want to find you, but Xiangjin stops me, so I can only wait at the door..." Dugulu trembled violently, " Brother Xiaoyin, will sister, will she die? I don’t want my sister to die, woo woo..."

Song Wei was terrified when she heard this, and her ominous premonition grew stronger, but she couldn't bear to continue asking.

Suddenly there was a sound of the door, and it was Li Yi who rushed out from the inner room, his face was full of panic and lost his composure: "His Royal Highness, what, Zensheng is the best... If this continues, we can only die!"
