Chapter 20 Flower Picking Metaphor
After coming out of the Chengqi Hall, the national teacher did not directly return to the palace where he rested, but walked leisurely in the imperial garden. Although autumn has arrived, there are still hundreds of flowers in the imperial garden and are not affected by the climate at all.
"Since you are here, it's better to come out and enjoy the flowers with Liu Shang. These flowers are rare outside." Yu Liushang raised the corners of his mouth slightly and stayed next to a rose flower.
"The national teacher is so elegant." Wanyan Junlin was stunned, and the secret report submitted by his men did not indicate that the national teacher was a martial arts practitioner.
Wanyan Junlin knows his skills very well. If he doesn't deliberately reveal his flaws, ordinary people will not notice himself. It seems that the national teacher is so deep that even his most powerful spy can't find out clearly.
Now that it has been discovered, Wanyan Junlin stopped hiding and came out of the rockery.
"I don't know what's the matter with you following Liu Shang all the way from Chengqi Hall." Yu Liushang stretched out his hand to break a rose and slowly pulled out the fine thorns on the branch.
"I'm Wanyan Junlin. The bedroom arranged by the emperor happened to be in front of you, but it was on the way. How can you follow? Wanyan Junlin also folded a rose casually, but his hand was pricked by the fine thorns on the flower branch.
"That's because Liu Shang was more careful, thinking that someone was going to harm Liu Shang. The rose is thorny. It's better not to fold it randomly. Yu Liushang smiled and handed the rose flower that had been thorned to Wanyan Junlin.
"It's Junlin who is in a hurry. Thinking that such a weak scholar as a national teacher dares to break this thorny rose, Junlin can also do it, but he doesn't want to be pierced by this flower. It made the national teacher laugh.
Wanyan Junlin stretched out his hand to take over the flower branch from Yu Liushang's hand. Before Yu Liushang withdrew his hand, Wanyan Junlin turned his hand and grabbed Yu Liushang's pulse.
"The heart rhythm is unstable and the breathing is poor. Presumably, the national teacher has not slept soundly these nights. Wanyan Junlin felt it carefully and found that there was no internal force in the national teacher's body, and there was some turbid qi that stayed in his abdomen.
"The root of the disease left by childhood. I didn't expect that Prince Wanyan could also do medical skills. Yu Liushang seemed to inadvertently touch the palm of Wanyan Junlin's hand, and then picked up the branch folded by Wanyan Junlin and pulled up the thorn.
"Junlin is very offensive. I hope the national teacher won't mind." Wanyan Junlin narrowed his eyes and looked at the depressed man in white.
It was by no means accidentally encountered just now. Wanyan Junlin thought that Yu Liushang had poisoned himself, but he carefully felt that there seemed to be no sign of poisoning in his body.
The long dark hair spread over his shoulders and tied it casually with only an emerald green ribbon. The facial features are very ordinary, but I don't know why they have a thrilling beauty when they appear on the same face. He is not as tall and strong as a man, but he has a feminine temperament.
If you are a woman, you must be beautiful, but unfortunately you have the wrong man.
"Prince Wanyan is also a kind heart. How can Liu Shang not know?" Yu Liushang raised his hand and pulled up the hair hanging down his ears, still with a shallow smile.
"I don't know if the national teacher has ever practiced martial arts." Although he did not notice that Yu Liushang had internal strength, judging from the fact that he knew that he followed him, this person was definitely not as simple as he seemed on the surface.
"Prince Wanyan didn't take the pulse for Liu Shang. You should know that Liu Shang's physique is different from ordinary people and can't learn martial arts. Yu Liushang pulled off the sachets on his body and put them in one by one.
"Since you have planned to remove the petals, why does the national teacher have to work harder to remove the thorns on this branch?" A sneer flashed on Wanyan Junlin's face, and this depression was much more shrewd than expected.
"Although the rose is beautiful, the flower branches have thorns. If her hand is stung by sting, what will Prince Wanyan do?" Yu Liushang did not answer, but asked such a question.
"No matter how beautiful the flowers are, if they hurt Junlin, then Junlin can only get rid of them all."
"The flower is innocent, and its thorn is also to protect itself. If someone comes to commit a crime, they will fight back. If you want to pick flowers, you must pay a price. When the flowers are picked, whether to remove the thorns or remove the petals, or throw them away, it's just a matter of your own words. But don't forget that the thorny flowers are still very beneficial, and you will cut your hand if you are not careful.
Yu Liushang took off the last petal and tied the sachet back to his waist, leaving only a bare flower branch in his hand.
"Junlin has been taught. Junlin has to take a step in advance to discuss the flower picking with the national teacher at the dinner party. Wanyan Junlin's eyes were cold, and the national teacher clearly warned himself by picking flowers. If he wanted to use the hand of the Celestial Empire to attack the Mo Dynasty to unify the world, it was impossible to enjoy it without hurting anything.
"Prince Wanyan, don't forget to go to the imperial doctor to apply medicine." Yu Liushang looked at Wanyan Junlin's stabbed hand and inadvertently said something.
"Thank you for reminding Junlin that he knows what to do. Say goodbye." Wanyan Junlin looked down at his palm, with a few small thorns scattered on it.
"Master, your hand..." I saw the master leave Mohe and followed closely.
"It doesn't matter. Did the shadow find any other news?" It's just a small injury. Wanyan Junlin didn't pay attention to it.
Shadow is a secret agent secretly cultivated by Wanyan Junlin.
"Yes, it's about the Mo Dynasty." Mohe thought for a moment and came back.
"Eh? What news?" Wanyan Junlin's footsteps stagnated. Did Mo Chao make any move?
"At the beginning of the month, the imperial master will send an envoy to the Mo Dynasty and ask three questions. If no one in the Mo dynasty can answer, he will send a prince to be a proton. However, according to the secret report of the shadow, the emperor of the Mo Dynasty has pointed out that an unfavored prince should be a proton. Mohe told Wanyan Junlin the contents of the secret report one by one.
"I haven't gone yet. The Emperor of the Mo Dynasty actually wanted to admit defeat." Originally, I thought that the battle with the Mo Dynasty must be extremely difficult, but I didn't expect that the emperor of the Mo Dynasty was so timid that he wanted to automatically admit defeat.
"I heard that the unfavored prince was the seventh prince of the emperor. He was given to death because his mother offended the queen in those years, and he was not treated by the emperor."
"It's no wonder he will be sent as a ghost." Another victim of a woman's fight. Mohe, go to contact the shadow. I want to know where the national teacher came from and who else is in the family. Why did you come to heaven? Wanyan Junlin did not believe what Yu Liushang said.
"Yes, master." Mohe got the order and left quickly.
"Yu Liushang, it seems that my prince is looking down on you."
Looking at Wanyan Junlin's departure back, Yu Liushang casually threw the flowers and branches aside. Looking up at the pink in the palm, Yu Liushang smiled.
Presumably, Wanyan Junlin will not go to the imperial doctor. A person as arrogant as him will not care about that small wound.
Yu Liushang took a fancy to this point, so when Wanyan Junlin held his pulse, he took the opportunity to scatter a kind of powder on the wound he was stabbed.
It is a light pink and tasteless powder, which can't be seen without a closer look. I'm afraid it has penetrated into Wanyan Junlin's blood.
However, depression is not poison, but a drug that can make people appear. After that, some things to attack the Mo Dynasty still depended on Wanyan Junlin, so Yu Liushang did not intend to get rid of Wanyan Junlin.
Yu Liushang took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the powder from his palm, and then walked leisurely to his palace.
For a moment, the emperor sent Xiao Shangzi and Xiao Youzi to invite the national teacher and Wanyan Junlin to attend the banquet in the imperial garden respectively.
The princes and ministers were not invited to this palace banquet, only the emperor, the national master and Wanyan Junlin.
Wan Junlin and Yu Liushang arrived one after another. They came forward to say hi to the emperor, and then sat on both sides of the emperor's hands.
"National teacher, this is Wanyan Junlin, the prince of the desert. I came here to attack the Mo Dynasty with our alliance. Junlin's little nephew, this is Yu Liushang, the national teacher of my dynasty. Zhao Deyi didn't know that the two had met, and introduced them with a smile.
"I have met Prince Wanyan." Yu Liushang stood up and bent down to salute Wanyan Junlin.
"I've heard the name of the national teacher for a long time, and I'm finally lucky to meet you today." Wanyan Junlin did not get up and picked up a glass of wine and said casually.
"Prince Wanyan, this wine is very strong. You'd better drink less." He was not angry with Wanyan Junlin's attitude. Others are princes, so naturally they can do whatever they want.
"Haha, I just like to drink this strong wine. Isn't it that the emperor is reluctant to give up these jars of wine?" Wanyan Junlin drank all the wine in a glass and said jokingly.
"Junlin's little nephew laughed. You can drink enough of this wine. Come on, bring more jars of wine for Prince Wanyan. Although Zhao Deyi did not understand the intention of the national teacher, what the national teacher said must be reasonable.
Yu Liushang didn't say much, smiled and sat down.
After a while, several eunuchs hurried in with a few jars of wine and put them beside Wanyan Junlin.
Seeing Yu Liushang's smile, Wanyan Junlin seemed to notice something wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong. Seeing that the wine was brought, he didn't say much. He picked up a jar of wine and poured himself a glass.
"Junlin's little nephew is good at drinking."
Yu Liushang looked at Wanyan Junlin with a smile on his face, and his medicine was to use strong wine to stimulate the medicinal properties. If Wanyan Junlin doesn't drink tonight, Yu Liushang will have a headache, but he seems to be worried for nothing.
The eunuchs kept walking through the imperial garden, and dishes were placed on the table one after another. The court musicians also played music, and the dancers waved their sleeves and danced in the middle of the imperial garden.
Zhao Deyi couldn't help drinking a few more glasses of wine because he was happy. Before Wanyan Junlin could discuss how to attack the Mo Dynasty with the national teacher, he got drunk.
Seeing that the emperor was drunk, he simply stopped pretending. He leaned lazily on the couch and picked up a glass of wine and drank it casually. Looking at Wanyan Junlin, who was drinking one cup after another, Yu Liushang smiled even more. This medicine should attack in a while.
