Yuchi Sun Sheng bared his teeth and said with a sharp pain in his heart when the strong alcohol entered his body.
"Then the Immortal of the East China Sea must be too courageous. He knew that the medicine was poisonous, but he still paid tribute to the Holy One."
"The medicine was not given to the Holy One by the Immortal of the East China Sea. The Holy One sent people to ask for it because he spent all his time thinking about seeking immortality and visiting Taoism. The Holy One often felt powerless during sexual intercourse, so he sent Doctor Wang to various places to look for aphrodisiac drugs."
Gong Weizhi thought for a while and then continued.
"Of course, this matter cannot be blamed on the Holy One alone. Doctor Wang was originally a charlatan who also refined medicine to aphrodisiac and nourish the kidneys. Mr. Liu Pi once used the medicine he refined and found it to be effective and recommended it to the Holy One, and the Holy One became more and more interested in it. He couldn't live without this pill, so he even recruited him into the palace to become a royal doctor."
"Mr. Yi, how long does your Majesty have left to live?"
"It's hard to say."
The palace doctor shook his head and said.
"For example, today is most likely caused by that bowl of ginseng soup. It is said that the Holy Emperor's body is overdrawn and the dragon is weak, so there is no need for ginseng soup. The birthplace of the Xianbei people is also the place where ginseng is produced. They regard ginseng as a cure-all for all kinds of diseases. The miracle medicine for the disease, if we say we can’t use it, will the Holy One listen to me? The rescue today is not as good as the Holy One!!!!”
Gong Weizhi sighed, applied plaster to Yuchi Sun Sheng's injury, wrapped it with a cloth, and continued.
"If Your Majesty can listen to my advice and stop having sex with women and stop taking those fatal medicines, and if the general teaches His Majesty the art of archery in the future, it won't make him too tired. I will give His Majesty some warm medicine to protect his kidneys later. Protect your liver and you should be fine to get through this year, otherwise, your Majesty may encounter unexpected events at any time."
The two people looked at each other and were speechless for a moment. The atmosphere in the room was slightly empty. Weichi and Sun Sheng slowly put on their clothes. Suddenly, they remembered the first time they met the imperial doctor at the gate of Prince Zhao's Mansion, and thought of the unusual words of Prince Zhao a few days ago. He suddenly woke up and said.
"Now that I think about it, my husband must have told others about His Majesty's condition."
"Oh, how dare we."
The imperial doctor's face suddenly changed and he immediately denied it.
"Whether this is right or wrong, if you say it, you will be beheaded."
"Sir must have told others."
Yuchi Sun Sheng said without a doubt.
"Not long ago, my husband and I met at the gate of Prince Zhao's Mansion. Do you still remember that time?"
"oh."
Gong Weizhi nodded frequently.
"Look at our memory. When we gave King Zhao a test diagnosis again, King Zhao asked about His Majesty's condition. We did express our concerns about His Majesty's condition because King Zhao is his uncle, and King Zhao has a close relationship with our family. We are family friends, so I feel a little more casual when talking."
"That's right. When we met King Zhao that time, he was frowning and saying that something big was going to happen to Sheji."
The two people were talking and the eunuch Xiao Lezi came in and said casually.
"Your Majesty is awake and keeps asking us where General Yuchi is."
Yuchi Sun Sheng and the palace doctor immediately got up and went to Yu Wenyun's rest room. As soon as they entered the door, they both knelt beside the couch. The palace doctor didn't raise his head and asked timidly in a low voice.
"I wonder if the Holy Master's chest is still tight."
"It's okay, it's almost done."
Yu Wenyun stretched his limbs and sat up. Yuchi and Sun Sheng continued.
"My ministers and the Imperial Physician saw that the Holy One was asleep. They were afraid of disturbing His Majesty's rest, so they went to the Royal Physician's Clinic."
"Okay, okay, everyone, get up. I want to see the injury on Aiqing's waist."
Yuchi Sunsheng said with a smile.
"The minister's waist is not in the way and there is nothing to look at. Your Majesty knows which of the generals who lead troops in war are not strong and strong."
"My dear, please don't make excuses for me."
Yu Wenyun instantly put on a deep expression and said.
"Take off your shirt and let me see."
Yuchi and Sun Sheng did not dare to disobey the holy order, so with the help of Xiao Lezi, he lifted off his robe and then took off his shirt, finally revealing his wrapped waist.
"Okay, put your clothes on, don't catch a cold."
Yu Wenyun looked at Yuchi Sun Sheng's waist and looked sad for a while before saying.
"Get up and drive back to Tiantai Palace."
When Yu Wenyun's honor guard convoy lined up on the road, a guard rode up to Yuchi Sun Sheng and said.
"Your Majesty has asked General Yuchi to speak in the car."
After hearing this, Yuchi and Sun Sheng simply abandoned their horses and entered Yuwen Yun's royal chariot.
"Please take a seat. There is no place for you to kowtow here. The etiquette in court can be dispensed with."
Yuchi Sun Sheng sat on the chair opposite Yu Wenyun, only to hear the sound of horse hooves outside and the rhythmic sound of the copper bells around the horse's neck. Yuchi Sunsheng glanced at Yu Wenyun, but he remembered what the palace doctor had said about the Holy Admiral's death soon. For some reason, Yuchi Sunsheng felt pity for the cruel and violent emperor sitting in front of him.
Yu Wenyun suddenly said to Yuchi Sun Sheng.
"I find that you are a very kind-hearted person."
After hearing Yu Wenyun's words, Yuchi and Sun Sheng were secretly shocked. He didn't know whether the words were meant as a compliment or a criticism, so he could only reply quickly.
"I am a soldier and I don't dare to be vague when killing enemies at the front."
"Alas, I didn't mean that."
Yuwen Yun said.
"I got angry and hit the palace doctor today. Ai Qing clearly intended to use her body to block the jade. After being an emperor for a long time, I can still tell the difference between words and expressions."
"ah."
As soon as Yuchi Sunsheng's body went limp, his legs involuntarily moved downwards. Qu Yuwenyun's cart was large, but it couldn't accommodate the tall Yuchi Sunsheng. He knelt down and kowtowed.
"The courtesy of a monarch and his ministers should be waived. If you want to kneel down, this carriage and seat will pinch you so that you can't move."
"Young minister, you are indeed violating the holy will. At that time, we just thought that the thin imperial doctor could not withstand the heavy blow of the jade bi, so we couldn't help but go up."
"That's right. Didn't I just say that I love you with a kind heart?"
Yu Wenyun started laughing as he spoke. When Yuchi and Sun Sheng saw that the Holy One had no intention of punishing him, he took courage and said.
"Actually, the imperial doctor's words were not malicious. His words are also a good medicine for the Holy One."
"I know it, but I can't help it when my temper comes."
Yu Wenyun raised the curtain and looked out the window and suddenly asked.
"How old is Aiqing now?"
"I am actually 21 years old."
Lie Huiyuan is very close to the Tiantai Hall. In just a few words, Xiao Lezi was the first to get off the car, followed by Yuchi Sunsheng. With the support of the two, Yu Wenyun said to Yuchi Sunsheng when he got out of the car.
"It's okay, Aiqing, please go home first. Recuperate at home these few times. When Aiqing is needed by the court, someone will naturally call you."
"Thank you for your grace."
Yuchi Sun Sheng watched Yu Wen Yun board the single pool and looked at the back of the Holy Master with mixed feelings in his heart.
"People say that when a person is about to die, his words are good."
Although King Zhao himself has returned to his fiefdom in Luozhou, there are still people delivering letters to Yuchi and Sun Sheng every day in the forbidden area of the palace.
"The house that King Zhao gave you has been repaired and cleaned. Please let the general move in."
Yuchi and Sun Sheng bid farewell to Yu Wenyun and left the rooftop, then rode alone out of the palace city and arrived at Xuanwu Street in Chang'an. Not far up the road, they turned into a side street and led their horses into a dead end with a high wall and a deep courtyard. Only a secluded deep alley could be seen. There is a single family.
The lacquered door is a thick door that has just been painted with lacquer. There are rows of large and bright brass nails on the door. On both sides of the door are stone gates. On the left and right, two black lacquered gold plaques are hung. Engraved with five characters.
"Yu Chi reflects the sun and the moon, and his divine arrows help the Spring and Autumn Period."
At this point, Yuchi Sun Sheng naturally raised his head and saw that there was a row of two seal characters inlaid on the top of the gate.
"Shengfu."
Seeing this, Yuchi and Sun Sheng laughed unconsciously and muttered in their hearts.
"This King Zhao really doesn't show off his talents everywhere."
Yuchi and Sun Sheng were about to reach out for the copper ring on the lacquer door, only to hear a creaking sound. The door slowly opened. An old man about 50 years old in a black short coat stood at the door and looked carefully at the door. old man.
Then he tried to ask overjoyed.
"Are you General Yuchi?"
Yuchi Sunsheng nodded, and the old man turned around and shouted into the courtyard.
"The boss is back."
So I saw more than ten men and women hurriedly running out of the house and standing in two rows in the yard. At the same time, a burst of enthusiastic firecrackers sounded. The old man went out and took the gift that Yuchi Sun Sheng was still holding in his hand. The reins led Yuchi Sunsheng into the gate again.
The house in front of us is a courtyard that is neither too big nor too small. The gatekeeper lives in the room on the far right side of the gate. On the left side is where visitors and guards wait to rest. In the side rooms on the left and right sides of the courtyard, servants live facing the gate. It is the house where the owner lives and lives.
Yuchi Sunsheng was greeted by servants and maids and entered the main building. The butler who accompanied him seemed to be over 40 years old. He made an introduction every time he opened a room. What impressed Yuchi Sunsheng the most was the owner. bedroom and study room.
The furniture in the bedroom was all exquisitely carved. The calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls and the antiques placed in the Duobao Pavilion made Yuchi and Sun Sheng dizzy. Among the large rows of bookcases in the study, there was no shortage of classics, history, astronomy, geography, yin and yang, and eight trigrams. .
After browsing the new home, Yuchi and Sunsheng asked the housekeeper to take a seat in the living room as the owner and then said to the housekeeper after everything was settled.
"We are very grateful to King Zhao for his kindness. Although King Zhao has already told us that all expenses in the house will be paid by the Zhao Palace and we will only be responsible for living there, in fact we are just the right little uncle. If we work at night We also have to live in the palace, so no matter what aspect, we absolutely cannot use so many servants. It is enough for us to leave only one old man as a gatekeeper. We also ask the housekeeper to immediately send all the servants. Go back to Prince Zhao's Mansion."
Seeing Yuchi Sun Sheng's sincere tone, the housekeeper immediately ordered everyone.
"Everyone should pack their bags and return to Prince Zhao's Mansion immediately."
Not long after, an old woman came in, knelt down in front of Yuchi Sun Sheng and said.
"General, my wife is old and her legs and feet are inconvenient. Let me and my wife spend our remaining years here."
Yuchi Sunsheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"In that case, you can stay. We are thinking of hiring an old woman to do laundry and cooking in the future."
After a while, everyone packed their bags and came in to say goodbye. Yuchi and Sun Sheng sent everyone out of the door. When they turned around and returned to the living room, they saw the old woman bringing a pot of freshly brewed tea to the coffee table next to the seat.
Yuchi Sunsheng let out a sigh of relief and sat down, feeling that the house where people used to come and go was much quieter, and he felt a family atmosphere that he had not seen for a long time.
"What shall we call you?"
The old woman turned back and said with a smile.
"Everyone calls us Zeng family members on weekdays. The general should also call us the same."
"OK."
Yuchi Sun Sheng asked again.
"Sister-in-law, how is the situation at home? Do you have enough firewood, rice, oil, salt, food, drink and clothing?"
"Thank you for your concern, General. Our family is in need of nothing."
The Zeng family member said again.
"The servants have been here for several days just now. The butler paid for the food and drink based on 20 people. I'm afraid the three of us won't be able to digest them all in a few months."
"That's fine. Let's eat early today, and we'll have to go out to do some errands later."
Yuchi Sun Sheng's original intention of leaving the palace today was to tell the Prime Minister all the news he heard from the imperial physician. He couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
"Although we don't believe it is true, it is a huge event anyway, and the prime minister's house must not be defenseless."
After a while, the Zeng family came over with a pleasant smile and said.
"General, the meal is ready."
Yuchi Sunsheng walked into the dining room and saw a large table full of dishes on the dining table. Yuchi Sunsheng looked back at the Zeng family with puzzled eyes and explained hurriedly.
"These dishes are only part of them, and they have been prepared and heated in the steamer. We can only celebrate when the general comes back. Yesterday, two tables of generals were prepared in the house, but they were not eaten by everyone."
"You cook so many dishes. You should have told everyone to eat and drink before leaving."
Yuchi Sun Sheng regretted it and asked again.
"Where's Uncle Zeng?"
"He's guarding the front yard."
"It's almost time for dinner, go and ask Uncle Zeng to come over for dinner."
When the Zeng family heard this, they quickly knelt down and said.
"How about that? You are the master of the house, and we are the servants who serve you."
"Go and call Uncle Zeng quickly. We have something to say to him."
Uncle Zeng walked in tremblingly, Yuchi Sun Sheng said.
"Please sit down, but we have to make the rules clear now. From now on, we will pay for the salary of the two of you and the expenses of the family. We will go back to King Zhao to explain it when we have time. In addition, there are a total of 100 people in the house now. There are only three of us, and we are a family behind closed doors. Let’s eat at the same table from now on. If we entertain guests at home, you two are not allowed to sit at the table, how about that?”
Uncle Zeng had seen a little bit of the world before he nodded and agreed.
"Then we'd rather be respectful than obey."
Yuchi Sun Sheng asked.
“Is there any wine? ”
"have."
The Zeng family brought wine and wine glasses and said.
"This is the first time we meet, let's toast the general."
After a few glasses of wine, Uncle Zeng began to talk more and said to Yuchi Sun Sheng.
"King Zhao bought this house and renovated it for his concubine to live in. Prince Zhao's house is outside the city and many of King Zhao's friends live in the city, so King Zhao lives here more than when he lived in the king's house. , King Zhao usually had a wide range of interests and made many friends. When King Zhao originally lived in this house, the guests' cars and sedan chairs would sometimes line up from the alley to the street. King Zhao also took his concubine away when he went to Luozhou. So the house became vacant.”
