Chapter 46 Quietly Start

"Indeed, the Empress Dowager's disease is caused by excessive consumption. In addition, due to long-term anxiety, Qi and blood blockage is not smooth, so she eventually falls into a coma. Ordinary medicine will definitely not work at this time, but the minister knows that there is another prescription, or you can try it, but the medicine recorded by this prescription is too strong, which is what we call The wolf and tiger medicine, if the sick body can't tolerate it, maybe..." The imperial doctor hesitated and hesitated.

"What could it be? Come on, say it!" Jiaolan urged.

"What else can I do?" The imperial doctor explained helplessly, "Anyway, there is no cure now. It's just to relieve the Empress Dowager's family earlier, but if it works, maybe the Empress Dowager will get better and wake up for ten and a half days?"

"Ten days and a half months?" Jiaolan muttered, "Is it only ten days and a half months? Can't you fully recover?"

"Alas, girl, the empress dowager's body, even if this wolf and tiger medicine is effective, it is just to give her a breath. As for how long it can last, it can't be estimated. Of course, if the empress dowager can relax and recuperate, it will naturally be far more than ten days and a half months. Unfortunately, the minister feels that with the current situation It's hard for the Empress Dowager not to worry!"

Jiaolan nods silently. She knows that the doctor is telling the truth. In fact, ten days and a half months are already a great ** for the empress dowager and her. At least it is better than leaving without telling anything now. Ten days and a half months, maybe the empress dowager can properly arrange all the afterlife to prevent the palace from changing. Jiaolan is the master. So I asked the doctor, "Where's the prescription? Give it to me."

The imperial doctor shook his head, "The prescription is in the minister's mind, and he can only whisper to the girl, because the medicinal properties of this medicine can't be grasped. Ordinary people certainly can't stand it. If the minister opens the prescription, in case the empress dowager goes, the minister will be nine clans. In fact, those imperial doctors actually know this prescription, but everyone I'm afraid of losing my head, so no one dares to mention it. Now I quietly tell the girl that the girl must think twice. There's really nothing we can do. Let the Empress Dowager go to the funeral so quietly. At least we all of us will retreat, so that the minister will regret hurting the girl in the future..."

"Oc's it, stop it!" Jiaolan was surprisingly calm at this moment, "We don't know the pros and cons. I know. I will weigh it by myself. Tell me!"

The imperial doctor whispered to Jiaolan for a while, and then arched his hand repeatedly, "Girl must be careful, in case..."

"In case there is anything, I will never say anything about you. Don't worry." Jiaolan turned around and said, "You went out of the palace with the imperial doctors. We have never talked in private!"

"Thank you for your understanding. The servant is not a greedy person who is afraid of death. He is just worried about involving the relatives and friends of the clan. I hope the girl will understand the difficulties, and the servant will leave!" The doctor was so grateful that he turned around and left after worshiping Jiaolan Sanbai.

Jiaolan stood alone outside the palace for a long time. It was not until other palace people came to ask her if the Empress Dowager's bedroom needed to change the lights. She seemed to wake up from her dream. "Let me do it. The Empress Dowager has always been afraid of the dark. Naturally, she has to change the headlights according to the old rules. Don't worry about it. Tonight, everyone will also rest. Let's rest for one night. The Empress Dowager won't call anyone again. Maybe we will soon be tired and dark.

The palace people are very clear about the meaning of Jiaolan. If there is a national funeral, these palace talents will really have an unspeakable day, so they retreat and greet other palace people to rest in case the "big event" that may come at any time.

Jiaolan returned to the Empress Dowager's bedroom alone. After picking up all the lamps, she knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager Li's bed and kowtowed three times to the Empress Dowager Li's disease. "Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, can you tell Jiaolan what to do? Shall we have another time? Now that you lie down like this, you must not feel at ease. Although the chaos of the world can't be calmed for a day or two, how difficult it will be for him to leave the emperor alone. There is also the battle of the harem. I don't know how many bloody storms will be staged again. The Empress Dowager, if we use medicine, you can't stand it. Will you blame Jiaolan?"

The Empress Dowager Li didn't say anything and quietly. Jiaolan waited for a long time, but she didn't see the Empress Dowager Li's reaction. She had to stand up, changed her clothes, and went to the imperial hospital overnight to look for the medicine mentioned by the doctor.

On the outskirts of Weijun, more than a dozen camp tents that had just been pulled up were hidden in the undulating forest. In the middle of the night, the tents were still brightly lit, like a pearl sprinkled in the night, Nie Kong and Jiang Zhidao, and several major generals, hand-painted around Jiang Zhidao and the guide. In terms of it, all the places circled are agreed to settle down, and some small black forks indicate that it is easy to meet the Northern cavalry, which requires strict vigilance and caution.

After Nie Kong divided more than a hundred people into three brigades, it is particularly important to echo each other. It is also necessary to properly keep the marks along the way, but the marks must be secret, and only the inside can identify them. Otherwise, it is not only easy to be suspicious, but also guide the cavalry of Beirong to follow them.

The general of the first team who took the guide to explore the way first was called Guo Xiang. The last team was responsible for protection and breaking Xu Chenglin. Nie Kong and Jiang Zhidao escorted the main money and silk carts to the middle road. Guo Xiang and Xu Chenglin's team also had some money and silk cars, but most of the cars were disguised and could even be discarded at the right time. It was easy to ride. .

When everything is arranged and stopped, it has been three times at night, and the lights have been turned off and rested. There are only two hours before dawn, and their long and arduous journey is about to begin.

Because he was about to leave, Nie Kong did not return to the palace, including Jiang Zhidao and the guide. All the people and carriages had been concentrated in this hill forest. Although the cold wind at night blew through, the weather was surprisingly good. Nie Kong climbed up the hill to watch the sky and saw the stars in the sky. Not far away, the wall of Wei County could be faintly visible. Nie Kong sucked deeply. A breath of cool air said goodbye to Weijun and his king.

In order to cover people's eyes and ears, it was not convenient for King Wei to leave the palace. Originally, he wanted to come to practice on behalf of King Wei, but he was politely declined by Nie Kong. There was a custom in the army. Before the war, women appeared unlucky signs in the army. Although they did not go to war, they were more or less superstitious when they went on a long journey.

In fact, this is also the real reason why Nie Kong is not willing to take over the Mingsha Camp. Although he himself does not believe in that, the more experienced generals are, the more taboo he is. After all, the longer it is related to personal life and death, the longer he will feel that survival is a fluke, and even more fears and taboos will be. Free.

Fortunately, most of the soldiers and soldiers of Mingsha Camp are young and descendants. They are not only brave and good at fighting, but also know the strategy of military tactics. Even individual soldiers against the enemy are also changeable. Therefore, the Mingsha Camp is actually much better than the army with the King of Guards. The taboo of young generals for women may not come. Yu cared as much as those veterans in the army, but despite this, Nie Kong first refused Huanying's camp as usual.

He is not taboo about women, but he is too nervous about the heavy responsibility of this line. He can't tolerate any mistake, or even just an unfounded taboo.

The practice wine set up by King Wei in advance in the palace was a little special. He set up a table full of wine and vegetables, but King Wei did not hold a chopstick. He said that the full wine and vegetables were not for Nie Kong, but for Nie Kong to come back. As soon as the banquet was withdrawn, he no longer stained with meat and fishy wine. It was not until the day when Nie Kong returned smoothly that he would open with Nie Kong again. With the friendship of King Wei, how can Nie Kong be careless and cautious?

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him. Nie Kong turned his head and saw that it was Jiang Zhidao.

"Why, Mr. Jiang can't sleep, but he has to sleep even if he can't sleep. Otherwise, once he starts tomorrow, it may be difficult to sleep peacefully!" Nie Kong gently comforted him.

"Isn't General Manager Nie also unable to sleep?" Jiang Zhidao bowed his hand and walked to Nie Kong's side. He also looked up at the sky and said, "It's a good omen. I hope our trip will go smoothly!"

Nie Kong smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. I always sleep impermanently. Sometimes I can sleep for a few days and nights, and sometimes I can sleep for three days and three nights in a row. I'm used to it. When it comes to good omen, my husband and I have slightly different views. Although the sky is good, it also indicates that the heat during the day will be very unbearable. I They pretend to be business travelers, hide their swords under the carriage, and with the wealth and silk they carry, it is impossible for the journey to get up quickly, so how difficult and dangerous they will encounter. It's too early to say everything.

"General Manager Nie is too nervous. He has run this road before. As long as he can avoid the Beirong cavalry, although the journey is more difficult, it can also withstand it. The toughness of people may be stronger than General Manager Nie imagined!" Jiang Zhidao said lightly, "However, I have never traveled with so much money, and this time I was entrusted by Huanying and King Wei. To be honest, Jiang doesn't feel relaxed in his heart."

"Yes, the more nervous you are about one thing, the more you are timid and tied up. I hope Mr. Ji Ren Tianxiang can lead us to complete the transaction smoothly!" Nie Kong knew that it was not easy for Jiang Zhidao to help, and he did not want to exert more pressure on him, so he turned around and downplayed the heavyness of his heart in the past.

"I hope!" Jiang Zhidao smiled and said, "We finally had a common opinion. We all said a wish. Ha ha, Manager Nie, I didn't come up entirely because I couldn't sleep, but I thought about it over and over again and wanted to change the accompanying team."

"What? Don't you want to go with me?" Nie Kong asked in surprise.

"It's not that I don't want to. First of all, it's a big deal. I'm not very worried about the guide. I'm watching it in the front team, and I'm not afraid that he will lead us astray. In addition, if there is an accident or the situation changes, I can give you a warning in the front team. It's safe, Mr. Nie is in charge. How about it?"

Nie Kong thought for a moment, "But the front team is responsible for exploring the way. I'm afraid it's more dangerous. If Mr. Jiang is not in the same team with me, I will worry about his safety!"

"In terms of danger, isn't it dangerous all the way? Maybe someone will encounter it. Since I promised to lead the way, I have made a plan that there may be an accident. What's more, isn't there your soldiers and guards? Manager Nie, don't worry. I finally have more experience on the way than you. If I find that the situation is wrong, I can also adapt to the situation. This is more useful than following you in the middle and helping you transport your money!" Jiang Zhidao said it very earnestly, and the meaning was also very resolute.

Nie Kong stared at Jiang Zhidao for a moment under the faint starlight, and finally nodded, "Okay, I will ask Guo Xiang to try my best to ensure your safety, but Mr. Jiang himself should be careful. I don't want to come back and can't tell Huanxuan and Wei Wang."

"That's it!" Jiang Zhidao smiled and raised one palm. Nie Kong sighed gently, and also raised his palm. The two palms hit each other. In the night wind, he only heard a crisp sound, and then the two men said in the same voice, "Better!"

Zhuo Ruitong got up before dawn and stood on the highest platform in the palace. He stared at the distance for a long time. I don't know when he was suddenly put on a robe on his body, and his gentle voice also sounded behind him at the same time. "It's so cold. It's so cold to stand here to send Nie Kong. I don't know how to add more clothes. If you suffer from the wind and cold, you can What should I do?"

Zhuo Ruitong's body, which was slightly stiff in the cold wind, suddenly warmed up. He reached out and rubbed his robe, "Huanxuan, how do you know I'm here?"

Huanxuan did not answer directly, but walked to Zhuo Ruitong's side and looked at him side by side, "Have Nie Kong and the others set off?"

"It should be!" Zhuo Ruitong said, "In a short time, you will probably have to leave. I don't know if I can only see you off like this!"

"I will always come back. Don't be too sad. Our long trip is just for a better reunion, isn't it?" Huan ling comforted softly.

Zhuo Ruitong took a deep breath, "I am not sad. I just remembered that when I left Beijing, my father also stood on the high platform to see our car drive out of the palace. I was only 16 years old. Now more than four years have passed in a flash. Every time I think about it, I can only sigh that the world is erratic, and everything in my memory Everything has been changed.

"Yes, the world is ermanent. How could I think that I would come to Weijun one day and be separated from my parents forever?" Huanxuan frowned gently, "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to be raised but can't wait to kiss!"

Zhuo Ruitong took a look at Huanying, "To be honest, I have always felt that you are luckier than me. Lord Changsun loves you so much. He will not imprison you in the boudoir because of the past. Instead, he will let you worship Mr. Qi's door and study the same as us. Such extraordinary foresight is comparable to ordinary people, and his foresight. And love your daughter eagerly, and save your life at a critical moment. How many people in the world can have such a father? As for me, I have been neglected by my father since I was a child. In addition to punishment, my father almost paid little attention to me. I even thought that my father did not need me as a son. Until the day he left Beijing, he stood tall on the stage and looked strangely old. At that moment, I suddenly found that he must still have mine in his heart, but he did not It's just a hardship. Just like I am now, I can only silently send it from afar, but the tall one stands alone on his throne.

"After the establishment of the prince, the rest of the princes must leave Beijing. This is the ancestral system. In fact, which father doesn't like to be full of children and grandchildren? He is just an emperor. He should not only worry about the country and society, but also worry about the competition between the brothers between the princes. Therefore, intentionally or unintentionally, there is a choice and alienation, Rui Tong, I may have been luckier than you, but the happier the memories, the more heartbreaking pain will often bring. Now I am actually unbearable to look back, so don't mention it!"

"I'm sorry, Huanxuan, I don't want to mention your sadness, but just standing alone on the platform, I suddenly remembered some things in the past and couldn't help talking to you, because many words have been in my heart for more than four years, and there is no one to tell or anyone willing to listen to."

"Well, it doesn't matter. You can say whatever you want. Don't worry about me!" Huanxuan turned back and smiled at Zhuo Ruitong, "When everyone is in a melancholy mood, it's rare to see that you have a side like Yuan Can!"

"After all, we are brothers!" Zhuo Ruitong smiled bitterly, "Do you think I'm still the hairy teenager who used to be troublesome and adventurous?"

"I don't think you like to make trouble. I just think you have always been careless, like to fight against injustice, righteous and easy to be impulsive." He smiled happily, "At that time, you were really a hairy young man!"

"Basically..." Zhuo Ruitong suddenly made a grimace in disguise, "Most of the time, I still have a big gap with Yuan Can, hehe."

When I heard it, my ears suddenly became hot. Zhuo Ruitong was a pun. Perhaps it was because of Yuan Can's weak temperament that made me think that it was Yuan Can's gentle and affectionate. Yuan Can had no own opinion and never made trouble. He also made himself feel that it was elegant and humble, so he couldn't help liking it. Yuan Can, even including Yuan Can's rare ridicule, also makes Huanxuan believe that Yuan Can is much better than Ruitong. Now think about how ridiculous these cognitions are. To truly understand that a person often has to go through time experience and the test of life and death, Zhuo Ruitong's words are complaining that she chose Yuan Can instead of choosing him?

"Okay, okay, let's make a joke with you. Look, I'm not funny every time. Forget it, I won't tease you. It's time to go to court. Let's go down together?" Zhuo Ruitong couldn't help pulling Huanxuan's sleeves.

"I still want to stand for a while. The prince should go back first. It's not good to miss the early morning. I have to explain to the ministers that Nie Kong suddenly disappeared!" Huanxuan gently pulled back his arm and said, "Huanxuan will go to the study to wait for the prince for a while to discuss specific ways to recruit and select soldiers."

"Okay, then don't stand for a long time. It's windy in the morning!" Zhuo Ruitong said and untied his robe, put it on Huanxuan, and patted Huanxuan's shoulder lovingly, "It's hard for you again!"

"What did the prince say!" Huanxuan took a step back with some embarrassment, "Your Majesty, don't forget to discuss with the ministers about the insurance and tax increase. The promulgation of the new decree is urgent. Of course, to convince those conservative old ministers, the prince has to learn to use his strength!"

"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with them!" Zhuo Ruitong said goodbye with a smile, but sighed in his heart. In terms of wisdom and strategy, even men should be ashamed in front of you. But emotionally, when can you open your heart knot and step through the deep ravine in your heart?
