Painting Doctor Jinhua

After parking the carriage aside, Fenghuang brought Xiao Jinyu to stop in front of a tavern called "Fengxianju". People were coming and going in front of the tavern, and the inside was also very noisy and lively, all of which showed that the business of this tavern was booming. Moreover, looking at the carriages parked in front of the door, it can be seen that the people who came here were either rich or noble, and they were all people of status.

There was no shortage of young and handsome young men from aristocratic families in the north. At this moment, a group of young men with elegant sleeves in wooden clogs were walking towards the tavern, talking and laughing. After Fenghuang took a look at these young men from aristocratic families, she took Xiao Jinyu's hand and found a seat by the window to sit down.

"Waiter, give us two plates of lotus chicken slices and braised xylophone fish!"

After shouting this sentence, the boy happily observed the people and things around him.

"The ones who came in before us seem to be the young men from the Zhaojun Li family and the Boling Cui family." Once he had some free time, the boy continued to talk to her about the current situation. "The Zhaojun Li family and the Boling Cui family are both from Shandong. They are known as the five noble families in the Central Plains along with the Taiyuan Wang family, the Fanyang Lu family, and the Xingyang Zheng family. Now, the Zhaojun Li family and the Boling Cui family both have people serving as high-ranking officials in Qi State, but I'm afraid their lives are not very easy."

"Why is that?" Xiao Jinyu asked casually.

The boy said in a coquettish voice: "I heard that when Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang was alive in the early years, he wrongly sentenced the head of the Boling Cui family, Cui Jilun, to exile. Later, Emperor Xuan's sister Princess Le'an married into the Cui family. Emperor Xuan asked about her married life. The princess replied that she was disliked by her A family. So Emperor Xuan went to the Cui family and killed the old lady Li.

There was also Empress Li Zu'e of Emperor Xuan. After Emperor Xuan's death, she was abducted to the harem by the current emperor Gao Zhan, who raped and humiliated her. Empress Li later gave birth to a daughter and died. Gao Zhan thought that Empress Li had killed her, so he killed Empress Li's son in a rage. Empress Li was heartbroken and denounced Gao Zhan. Gao Zhan then beat Empress Li severely, causing her to bleed and feel extremely painful. In the end, he forced her to become a nun.

After a pause, he explained to Xiao Jinyu, "This Queen Li is from the Zhaojun Li family. Although these two families are related to the Gao royal family by marriage, it is like living with a tiger when you are with the emperor. I am afraid that life here will be like walking on ice."

After he finished speaking, Xiao Jinyu had put down the teacup in her hand, looked at him in surprise, and said with a wry smile, "Brother Qing, why are you looking at me like this?"

"You seem to know a lot about the secrets of the Gao royal family." Xiao Jinyu said with a smile.

The boy said without any modesty: "Of course, I usually like to hear these things, and these things about the Gao family are no longer secrets."

Xiao Jinyu nodded with a smile and said nothing more. At this time, a waiter with a sweat towel around his neck came over with two plates of dishes. He shouted and placed two plates of fried chicken slices in front of Xiao Jinyu and Fenghuang respectively.

"My two guests, please enjoy your meal!" The waiter laughed in a fawning manner. After looking at Xiao Jinyu and Fenghuang respectively, he bowed and retreated.

Looking at the tender, white, smooth and plump chicken slices on the plate, Fenghuang could no longer bear her hunger and picked up her chopsticks to pick up a slice and put it in her mouth, saying "good" repeatedly while eating.

Xiao Jinyu couldn't help but smile as she watched, and picked up her chopsticks to prepare to eat. However, she caught a glimpse of the waiter who had just left standing in the hall not far from them, glancing at them with sidelong glances, with a hint of evil in his eyes.

"Phoenix, stop eating and spit out what you have eaten." Xiao Jinyu suddenly shouted.

The boy then realized something and suddenly overturned the table in front of him and vomited violently. At this moment, a shiny big knife came towards them.

The knife was pointed directly at Xiao Jinyu. Seeing that the knife was about to approach Xiao Jinyu, the boy raised his hand and chopped a porcelain plate on the table, picked up a piece of it and slashed it towards the man's throat.

With a "puff" sound, blood splattered everywhere and the attack of the man came to an abrupt stop. The tip of the long knife just happened to hit Xiao Jinyu's neck, just a hair's breadth away.

There was an immediate burst of terrified screams in the tavern. The female guests either huddled together or fled in all directions. The male guests also left one after another. In the end, only a few elegantly dressed noble gentlemen were left to watch.

"This young man is so agile." One of the young men exclaimed.

"Yes, it's amazing that you have such high martial arts skills at such a young age." said another young man.

"I never thought that such a murder would happen in such a big wine shop in Xuzhou."

There was not just one assassin. After the waiter who attacked Xiao Jinyu fell down, a group of disguised men in black rushed out of the tavern and surrounded Xiao Jinyu and Fenghuang.

"This kid has been poisoned. We don't have to be afraid of them. If we kill them, the master will definitely reward us handsomely."

Perhaps knowing that the truth had already been revealed and that it was useless to cover it up, one of the assassins simply plucked up his courage and shouted.

At his command, seven or eight men in black raised their swords and slashed at Feng Huang and Xiao Jinyu. Feng Huang's face changed drastically and he immediately stood in front of Xiao Jinyu.

The flashing of swords and the shadows of sabers instantly set off a bloody storm in the midst of this wild scene.

A boy was not strong enough to fight against seven or eight strong adults. He had just eaten poisonous chicken slices, so he soon fell into a disadvantage.

Seeing the long knife coming, the boy was no longer able to defend himself, so he simply closed his eyes and blocked Xiao Jinyu. At this moment, a clear shout suddenly came from the tavern: "Stop! Who is committing a crime here?"

The voice was clear, pleasant, moist and powerful. Along with the voice came the sound of heavy footsteps with a murderous aura. Everyone saw a group of tall and mighty soldiers walking in.

"It's His Royal Highness Prince Lanling." someone shouted.

Amidst the astonishment, Lanling Wang, dressed in a white robe, strode towards this side and waved his hand to signal his soldiers to take down the black-clad assassins.

The black-clad man in the room was surrounded by a group of soldiers again. The assassins were terrified when they saw that the man who came was the rumored gentle but strong Lanling King. However, since things had come to this point, they could not escape. The leading assassin actually took out a jade token and said to Lanling King, "Your Highness Lanling King, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. These two people are wanted by the court. We are ordered to capture them."

Seeing this jade token, Lanling Wang hesitated for a moment and asked, "What did they do?"

"I'm sorry I can't tell you."

The assassin answered and ignored Lanling King anymore. He made a horizontal chopping gesture to several of his men. Several men in black were about to step forward, but were pushed to their knees by a group of black-armored guards who rushed up.

"Your Highness Prince Lanling, what are you doing?" The leading assassin was shocked and shouted angrily.

Lanling Wang laughed and said, "I, Gao Changgong, hate those who bully the weak. I really don't see how a teenager, a child under ten years old, can threaten the court. But you, holding a jade token whose authenticity is unknown, can ride on my head? Aren't you underestimating me too much?"

The assassin's face suddenly turned livid, as if he had misjudged the character of Lanling King, thinking that he was not the kind of person who liked to meddle in other people's business and stir up trouble. At this moment, he was annoyed and afraid, and hurriedly bowed his head to apologize, "Yes, I deserve to die, and I have offended Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will forgive me, but these two people..."

"You two don't need to take care of these two people, but you, Gao, have to take care of them. You dare to disturb the people in Pengcheng with a jade token. Who gave you such courage? Come, arrest them and hand them over to the nearby government office to check their identities!"

"Yes!"

Several soldiers responded in unison, one of them grabbed a man in black and walked out of the tavern.

Lanling Wang was about to leave, but suddenly stopped. Turning around, he saw the boy's red lips turning purple, and he seemed to be about to kneel down. The "young man in white" beside him hurriedly hugged him into his arms.

"Brother Qing, will I no longer be able to protect you in the future?" said the boy, his face gradually turning pale and his breath gradually becoming weaker.

"What a pity! I'm afraid this young man won't live long."

People in the tavern began to sigh, their tone revealing regret, but it was just regret. Living in this era, even they could not guarantee whether they would be alive tomorrow, so the life and death of people were no longer important to them.

However, some people came over to advise: "Beauty is easy to change, good marriage is hard to stay together. In the past, Ruan Bubing once said: Life is like dust and dew, and the way of heaven is long and long. My dear, please accept my condolences."

The man who came to comfort him was wearing a tall hat and a wide belt, and was elegantly dressed. He was none other than the young master of Cui's family at Boling.

However, he only gave one word of advice, and then he heard Xiao Jinyu say softly: "Don't talk!" Then she suddenly lifted the veil and kissed the poisoned boy's already purple lips.

This action shocked several young men from aristocratic families who were watching. If the poison could spread, Xiao Jinyu's action might mean that she wanted to go away with the boy.

"Why is this so?"

Even Lanling Wang, who was standing by, seemed to feel sorry for the situation, and the others shook their heads and sighed.

"Let's go! Sanlang, if a person is determined to die, even Buddha cannot pull him back, and you and I can't do anything about it. Stop looking and go!" Another young man pulled the young man from the Cui family of Boling and said.

Just as he was about to move out, he heard another voice in surprise: "Hey, look!"

What to look at?

Several men looked over curiously, and saw Xiao Jinyu find a black box from somewhere, and take out some silver needles from it, and insert them into the boy's Lingtai and Baihui acupoints like a dragonfly touching water. Then, she rummaged around in the black box several times, and took out some strange-shaped things like dried fruit bark and leaves, and put them into her mouth, and after a while, put them into the boy's mouth.

But in just a quarter of an hour, a layer of fine beads of sweat had seeped out of Xiao Jinyu's smooth forehead, and her lips became even redder, as if she was extremely tired. After carefully putting the boy down, she sat aside and closed her eyes to rest. Her chest rose and fell due to slight panting, and her jade-like cheeks also showed a slight flush.

"Hey, this gentleman is exceptionally slender and fair-skinned, with a beautiful appearance. He doesn't look like a gentleman, but more like a lady." One of the gentlemen said, and then frowned as if he had discovered something, thinking, "Where have I seen such a face before?"

"Shierlang, stop joking. Every time you meet a beautiful girl, you say you have seen her somewhere before." Another one joked.

Unlike the other young men who were joking around, Prince Lanling remained silent and just watched the "sister and brother" silently. But after the "young man in white" gave them acupuncture and fed them medicine, the black and purple color on the boy's lips gradually faded, and he slowly woke up.

"Look, look, he's awake! It seems that the young man is alive again." Someone exclaimed in surprise.

The eyes of several young men were instantly attracted, and they saw that the boy who was dying just now was now alive and well and kneeling beside the "young man in white", calling out anxiously: "Brother Qing..."

"Don't move. I just helped you suppress the toxicity. If we want to cure it completely, we still lack snake gall. However, we can grind rhino horn and add angelica dahurica and honeysuckle as a substitute." Xiao Jinyu said.

"Okay, let's find an inn to stay in, and I'll come and grind the rhino horn right away." The boy nodded repeatedly.

The crowd of onlookers opened their mouths wide, no longer laughing or joking, but all looked incredulous and surprised!

It turns out he is a miracle doctor!
