in the world of murder

Chapter 38

"I have been drinking bowl after bowl of bitter medicine soup for so long, and there is no sign of a child. What use are you for!" In the inner hall, the woman's voice was sharp, and then a cup of hot tea was thrown out. , Fugui escaped without a trace, the other imperial physician did not have such good luck, hot tea splashed all over him.

Fugui and another imperial physician knelt down together, and Ning Zhaoyi's personal maid in the room persuaded them in a low voice, and asked several eunuchs to come out and send the imperial physicians away.

Autumn rains come one after another, and the ground is wet.Fu Gui returned to the Tai Hospital, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a person standing under the eaves.The man was wearing a dark satin cloak with precious light inside, and he was reaching out to tease the thrush in the cage.

"That's the celebrity of the East Palace, Mr. Xi Zhenxi." The person who held the umbrella for Fugui introduced him kindly, "I heard that the little Fu imperial physician was also from Jiuyi Mountain, so you are still brothers."

Fu Gui just smiled and didn't speak.

The people around him all left, Fu Gui walked up the steps and said with a smile, "It's a rare visitor."

Xi Zhen turned around, with a smile on his face, and said, "You've done well, you've become an imperial physician."

Fu Gui chuckled twice, "Toefl TOEFL."

The two chatted and laughed, and talked in the ear room, Fu Gui asked someone to bring some hot tea and snacks, Xi Zhen said: "Don't be busy, I won't eat."

"I know you don't want to eat it," Fu Gui said, "I will."

He took a bite of the snack, took another sip of hot tea, and then sighed leisurely.

"When did you enter the palace?" Xi Zhen said, "Why didn't you come to see me?"

Fu Gui waved his hand, "I heard that you are a thorn in the side of the family now, so I dare not get too close to you."

Xi Zhen sneered and said, "Even without me, your life is not easy now."

Hearing this, Fu Gui sighed again, "I really didn't expect that it would be so difficult to be an imperial physician. Those women in the harem are trying their best to have a child, but you said, this child is something our imperial physician can create." Come out? Why are you trying to get angry with us?"

Xi Zhen smiled and said: "So, let me give you a broad road."

Fu Gui paused, and said, "Let's hear it?"

"The East Palace is short of a doctor," Xi Zhen said, "The crown prince is not in good health, but he doesn't like to use noble concubines or people from His Majesty."

Fu Gui thought for a while and said, "How is the prince's temper?"

Xi Zhen paused, and said truthfully: "The temper is not very good, the weather is uncertain, unpredictable."

"Then I still..."

"But very generous."

"Yes." Fu Gui nodded positively, "Yes."

The two agreed that Xizhen would not stay any longer and left the palace alone.The chariot and horse rattled, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, the chariot suddenly stopped.

Through the curtain, Xi Shan said, "Young Master, Master Xuan, please see me."

Xi Zhen opened his eyes, he lifted the curtain, and saw Xuan Yunhuai sitting in another carriage with a serious expression, "Young Master Xi, please take a step to speak."

Xi Zhen thought for a while and nodded in response.

The carriage diverted and drove all the way to the edge of Qinghu Lake.Xi Zhen got off the carriage, gathered up his cloak, and walked into the Huxin Pavilion.

Xuan Yunhuai glanced at Xi Zhen, then at Xi Shui beside Xi Zhen, and said, "I have something private to tell you."

He wanted Xi Shui to leave.

Xi Shui looked at Xi Zhen, and Xi Zhen said directly: "I have something private to say with you."

Xuan Yunhuai pursed his lips, and asked: "Some time ago, His Majesty said that the land should be divided equally. Is this what you mean?"

He was away from the capital some time ago due to business, and he just came back these few days, and he heard about it as soon as he came back.

Many people in the aristocratic family believe that the matter of equalizing the land is just a cover, the purpose is to promote the children of poor families.But Xuan Yunhuai knew Xizhen well, and knew that Xizhen would not be aimless.

"I mentioned it." Xi Zhen looked indifferent, "What advice do you have?"

Xuan Yunhuai's expression sank, "Xi Zhen, the land touches the fundamental interests of the family. Do you dare to speak to His Majesty about dividing the land equally and where will the family be placed? Don't forget that you are also from a family, and the Xi family is also on one side big family!"

Xi Zhen's eyebrows and eyes were slightly cold, "Xuan Yunhuai, you dare to threaten me."

"I'm not threatening you," Xuan Yunhuai said, "I'm just reminding you, if one day, the aristocratic families attack you, can the crown prince protect you?"

"Don't bother you." Xi Zhen's brows and eyes were cold, and his beauty was compelling.

He turned around to leave, but Xuan Yunhuai behind him said abruptly, "I'm getting married."

Xi Zhen paused slightly, he turned his head, "Are you going to get married?"

Xuan Yunhuai stood with his hands behind his back, and said: "My wife is the only granddaughter of the current head of the Ye family in Runan. Her heirs and I will inherit the Ye family in the future."

Xi Zhen looked down, Ye Shi attacked Xi Shi, Xi Shi fought back, in order to protect himself, Ye Shi married Xuan Shi, and also gave such conditions as heirs.In this way, it is equivalent to Xuan Yun holding the two clans on his shoulders, and his status is no longer the same as in the past.

"Then I want to prepare a generous gift," Xi Zhen said with a sneer, "Give it to the Ye family girl, I have pity for her stepping into the fire pit."

The Xizhen in front of him, with his usual sneer and disdain, his brows and eyes are full of arrogance.Xuan Yunhuai's complexion sank almost instantly, he gritted his teeth, and stared at Xi Zhen, "You still look down on me, even if I'm already the head of a clan, you still look down on me."

Xi Zhen sneered, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why should I think highly of you?"

His brows and eyes are full of jokes, lofty but vicious and mean.

Xuan Yunhuai laughed, "Xi Zhen, you are worthy of being Xi Zhen, you only think of the best. When I was on the mountain, I couldn't compare to Xie Li, and when I was down the mountain, I couldn't compare to Prince Chongming, so you... ..."

With a sound of "slap", Xi Zhen slapped Xuan Yunhuai, "Compared with Xie Li, you deserve it too!"

Xi Zhen strode away, his cloak billowing and flapping in the wind.

The rain finally stopped. In the courtyard of the East Palace, the ginkgo leaves were knocked down by the rain, and they were all over the ground.The leaves soaked in the autumn rain could not be swept away, and the little eunuchs dared not stop for a moment with their brooms.

Xizhen and Crown Prince Chongming were still meeting in the flower hall. It was not long before autumn began, and charcoal pots were lit in the flower hall, and the smell of wormwood permeated the hall.Xi Zhen recited the "Book of Songs" in a calm tone. Prince Chongming sat behind the screen and listened with half-closed eyes.

"Your Highness?" Xi Zhen stopped and called him, he was studying hard here, but Prince Chongming slept soundly.

"Didn't sleep." Prince Chongming seemed to guess what Xi Zhen was thinking, he opened his eyes and said, "Thinking about something?"

"What are you thinking?" Xi Zhen closed the book, "I don't know if I can share your Highness's worries?"

Prince Chongming turned his eyes on Xizhen twice, "Xuan Yunhuai came to me yesterday and said something to me."

Xi Zhen paused, and Prince Chongming continued: "He said, when you were on Jiuyi Mountain, you once had a good friend, and later you killed him in order to inherit the position of disciple."

Xi Zhen still had a decent smile on his face, and he didn't know how many times he had scolded Xuan Yunhuai in his heart.

"This matter," Xi Zhen paused, and said: "Your Highness, don't you know? I killed my elder brother in order to be a direct disciple. Xie Li, Your Highness should have heard of this name."

"But I don't know that he is your good friend," Prince Chongming said, "Is it because of him that you refuse to accept Gu?"

"No," Xi Zhen raised his eyes and looked straight at the figure behind the screen, "It's just a dead person, who would care about him."

Prince Chongming was silent for a while, and said calmly, "It's true."

Xi Zhen couldn't see anything from Prince Chongming, and felt a little disappointed. He thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, I don't understand something. Please enlighten me, Your Highness."

Prince Chongming picked up the teacup and said, "Let's talk."

"Why doesn't Your Highness want to show up in front of people?" Xi Zhen said, "Even a humble official can't see His Highness's holy face. Could it be that Your Highness can't trust a humble official?"

Prince Chongming glanced at Xi Zhen and said, "Master Xi is too serious. I love Master Xi as much as brothers and sisters. How can I not believe it?"

Xi Zhen said: "Then why Your Highness refuses to meet with this minister?"

Prince Chongming looked lazy, "No reason, I don't want to see you."

Xi Zhen choked, this answer was in line with Prince Chongming's temperament, he was always unruly and unreasonable.

Xi Zhen was speechless, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "A few days ago, I heard that His Highness was not feeling well, so I specially found a genius doctor to see His Highness."

"No need," Prince Chongming said, "It's just some minor problems."

"How can I do that?" Xi Zhen said, "Although Your Highness is young, his body is not sloppy. If the root cause of the disease is caused by inadvertence, it will be a lifetime thing."

With that said, Xizhen sent someone to invite Fugui.

Prince Chongming looked at Xi Zhen firmly, and followed him.

After a while, Fu Gui arrived, and he came forward to greet Prince Chongming.

Xi Zhen said on the side: "Physician Fu is the best doctor in our Jiuyi Mountain. There is no difficult and miscellaneous disease that he can't cure in the past and present. Your Highness knows what I want, so you can rest assured."

Fu Gui gave Xi Zhen a strange look, thinking that there must be nothing good for Xi Zhen to hold him like this.

Fu Gui cupped his hands and said, "Please ask Xu Weichen to diagnose His Highness's pulse."

Prince Chongming looked at Xizhen and nodded.

Fugui carried the medicine box on his back, walked around the screen, and walked in front of Prince Chongming.He raised his eyes and bumped into Prince Chongming's quiet gaze.

Fu Gui choked for breath, but Prince Chongming moved his eyes away and looked at Xi Zhen on the other side of the screen, "Physician Fu also came from Mount Jiuyi, so he must have known Xie Li."

Xi Zhen paused, and said: "Brother stands tall, his character is precious, naturally everyone in the mountain gate knows him."

Prince Chongming said: "Since this is the case, Xie Li's death day should also receive a lot of incense."

Xi Zhen's complexion changed suddenly, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Fu Gui knelt beside Prince Chongming and said in a low voice, "His Highness, please extend your hand so that I can diagnose the pulse."

Prince Chongming stretched out his hand, and Fu Gui put two fingers on his veins.

Xi Zhen glanced at Fu Gui, and said: "Physician Fu, you must be careful and careful to see clearly, you must clearly diagnose His Highness's illness, the reward will only be more and not less."

"It's natural," Prince Chongming said, "If you diagnose Gu's disease and make Gu's body feel more comfortable, the East Palace will definitely benefit from you."
