Lin Fang's chest suddenly throbbed, and he leaned over and rubbed against his forehead, panting and comforting, "You are the Son of Heaven, who would dare to accept you except God?"

Xia Zhi's heaving chest slowly returned to calm, and his scorching gaze focused on Lin Fang.Lin Fang touched his eyelids, sighed, grabbed the clothes on the side and put them on indiscriminately. When he lowered his head, he realized that his body was stained with blood. His scalp was numb, and he immediately lifted one of Xia Zhi's legs. , anxious and angry, for a moment he wanted to punch Xia Zhi hard, but he was reluctant to do it.

Lin Fang was about to get out of bed with a dark face, Xia Zhi quickly grabbed his wrist: "Don't call him a doctor."

Lin Fang frowned: "You are hurt."

"I know, don't call me an imperial doctor." Xia Zhi said indifferently, "There is ointment in the box over there, after applying it, it will be fine in two days."

Lin Fang brought the medicine bottle with a sullen face, and when he applied the medicine for Xia Zhi, the anger in his heart could hardly hold back, and he wanted him to be in pain once, so that he would remember this lesson forever, but... he gritted his teeth , in the end can not be cruel.

After Xia Zhi took the medicine, he fell asleep in a daze. Lin Fang sat beside him, stared at his face for a moment, and couldn't help but let out a deep breath.If Qinghe's matter was delayed any longer, Xia Zhi would probably go crazy with worry, but it's a pity that so many people were sent out, but even a little bit of information was not found out. I have to say that the news from the Prime Minister's Mansion is really tight.

The imperial army sent to the dungeon to transfer Prime Minister Lin has been gone for a long time, but they still haven't returned. Lin felt worried suddenly.The dungeon is not far from the palace, so it shouldn't be so time-consuming.

Lin Fang was wearing a big cloak, pacing back and forth in front of the palace gate.The wind outside the hall was tight, and there was a slight tingling sensation on his face, but if he went back to the hall to stay, he was worried.

Fuxiu approached lightly, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want some tea?"

Lin Fang waved his hands amusedly, now that he is so entangled with everything, he can't even bother to drink tea.

But Fuxiu poured tea and brought it over, and said in a low voice: "It's freezing cold, Your Majesty, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up your body, if it freezes, the Emperor will feel sorry for you."

Lin felt relieved, stopped raising his hand, took the tea, took two sips to moisten his throat: "You are clever."

Fuxiu said: "That's the best kindness of the emperor."

Not far away, the forbidden army responsible for investigating the traces of people around Yongqing Palace was rushing over here. Lin Fang immediately handed the cup back to Fuxiu, and raised his foot to greet him: "How?"

The imperial guard said: "Last night, a guard who was on duty outside the palace lost his news after he changed his guard. He searched the palace all over but he couldn't find it. The subordinates have sent people outside the palace to search for this person's whereabouts, but there is no news yet."

Lin Fang frowned, deeply feeling something was wrong.

If this person has been guarding outside the Yongqing Palace, then any disturbance in Xia Zhi's palace may fall into this person's ears.The person disappeared last night, and today the queen came to remind Xia Zhi to be careful. If this was a coincidence, I'm afraid it was too much a coincidence.Maybe this person has already been in contact with Prime Minister Lin and leaked Xia Zhi's situation!

The more he thought about it, the more restless he felt. Lin Fang asked, "How's the situation over there in the dungeon? Why hasn't anyone come here yet?"

As soon as the words fell, the imperial guards sent to the dungeon came in a hurry. Judging by the flustered expression and the obvious sword marks on the sleeves, it was clear that something went wrong.

The guard said: "My lord, I lost him!"

Lin Dafa turned pale with shock: "How could this be?"

The guard replied: "I was waiting to escort him out of the dungeon, and suddenly a group of people rushed out on the way and forcibly took him away. The subordinate has ordered someone to track him down, but... lost..."

Lin Fang took a step back in a hurry, almost unable to stand still.If Prime Minister Lin was robbed, it would be like a fish sinking into the deep sea. With the foundation he had laid in the middle of Beijing for many years, it would be as difficult to catch him again.

"Come on!" Lin Fang shouted, and was about to lead his people to search for the whereabouts of Prime Minister Lin, when a sharp cry suddenly came from the hall, the voice was short and high-pitched, and it subsided in the blink of an eye.

"Not good!" Lin Fang felt cold in his hands and feet, turned his head and rushed into the hall, only to see Xia Zhi lying on the bed, his face was pale, cold sweat was rolling down his forehead, his arms were draped outside the quilt, his finger bones twisted in a strange posture .

"Your Majesty!" Lin Fang hurriedly fell to his knees, grabbed his shoulder with one hand, and shook him vigorously, but Xia Zhi didn't feel it.Touching his wrist with his fingertips, the pulse was beating so fast that people didn't know what to do. Lin Fang said in horror, "Tell the imperial physician! The imperial physician! Send someone to invite Mr. Bai Da, hurry up!"

There was chaos in the hall for a while, the imperial physician rushed over, Lin Fang got up quickly, his legs trembled suddenly, and he fell back to the ground suddenly, his knees hit the cold and hard stone slab, making a "boom" sound.

"Your Majesty!" Fuxiu hurriedly supported him, helped him to sit on a chair beside him, and made room for the imperial physician to take the emperor's pulse.

Lin Fang stared blankly at the position of the bed, his eyes were blank, and the palms on the armrests of the chair kept shaking.That pulse from Cai's number just now made him feel cold all over his body - the sound of such a rapid pulse is like beating a drum, after the rapid drum beat, there will be a sudden dead silence.

as predicted--

The imperial doctor panicked: "The emperor...the emperor's pulse...stopped..."

Lin Fang's eyes darkened, he leaned forward, and fell directly to the ground.

Prime Minister's House.

The prime minister's mansion, which had been quiet and dull for several days, suddenly welcomed a group of people. The nurse was about to ask who came, when he suddenly saw the person's face clearly, and was about to kneel down with his luggage when Prime Minister Lin walked past him .

Enter the study room, turn the mechanism, and with the sound of "creaking and creaking", the wall on one side starts to rotate, revealing a new world behind the wall.

Prime Minister Lin walked down the stairs, and the more he went down, the more clearly he could hear the movement below. The captured boy was howling, and he could vaguely hear someone chanting "Amitabha".

On the ground floor is a small secret room, with a huge candle burning inside, and a man standing beside Qing He with a long whip in his hand, looking at him with a ferocious face.

Prime Minister Lin saluted Master Tongming who was locked aside: "Master, I have offended you so much, I hope you will forgive me."

Master Tongming recited: "Amitabha." He closed his eyes and said nothing, only the beads in his hand were spinning quickly.

The subordinate said in a low voice: "The master refuses to say anything."

Prime Minister Lin didn't care, and turned to look at Qing He: "What was he talking about just now?"

"Prime Minister," said the subordinate, "this kid is talking nonsense, saying that he is related to the current emperor...the lives are related, but they are one body..."

"I'm not talking nonsense..." Qinghe coughed heavily, blood flowed out of his mouth, and there was a wheezing sound in his throat as he breathed, as if he might die at any time.His vision was already blurred, and there were welts all over from his back to his chest, some of the welts had scabbed and peeled off, and new wounds were added on the gray-white skin, revealing bright red flesh.

Qinghe stared blankly at the void, with a sad smile on his face, and murmured: "They are together...together... I would rather die here, but they are happy and happy, hahahaha ...Lin Fang, how could he treat me like this...my life is not important, what about Xia Zhi's?"

With a weird smile on his cheeks, Qinghe cried out: "Kill me, you guys kill me... As long as I die, the little emperor will die... He won't be able to live haha..." What he can't get Things will never be handed over to others, never!

"Shut up!" Seeing that he was still talking nonsense, the subordinate hurriedly reprimanded him.

Prime Minister Lin squinted his eyes and stared at this boy carefully, he already believed two or three points in his heart, and with the news from the palace earlier, he had no choice but to believe him seven or eight points.

"Master," Prime Minister Lin asked, stroking his beard, "is there anything strange in this world?"

Tongming didn't answer.

Prime Minister Lin smiled and said: "This old man is confused. The master believes in the Buddha. Presumably, he believes that there are gods in this world. Since this is the case, this old man also believes this time. Since he wants to die, he will be fulfilled."

Prime Minister Lin gave an order, and his subordinate immediately drew his sword and stabbed at Qinghe's chest without hesitation.A muffled hum came out of his mouth, his body froze suddenly, the muscles on his face twitched, and there was no other reaction.The resentful light in the eyes gradually dissipated, leaving only empty eyes.

"go!"

Prime Minister Lin gave a deep voice, and his subordinates immediately opened the underground iron door. Once the door opened, a narrow passage was revealed in front of them.I don't know when this passage was dug. It was extremely dark inside, but the sound of the void could be heard from a distance, and it seemed to be extremely long and deep.

The subordinates picked up the torches and went ahead, followed by Prime Minister Lin.After entering the passage, Prime Minister Lin turned his head and glanced at Master Tongming, who was still twirling the beads, indifferent to their actions.

Prime Minister Lin said: "Master is really a monk, Amitabha."

The people who followed Prime Minister Lin closed the iron gate with a clang, and sealed it with the stones prepared earlier. If the people inside wanted to catch up, it would be harder than climbing to the sky.

There was dead silence in the secret room, and the beads in Master Tongming's hand turned faster and faster. Finally, with a "click", the beads fell all over the ground, and some even rolled into the bloody water under Qinghe's body.

Using hands and feet together, Tongming got up from the futon, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, patted his chest with lingering fear and said: "The poor monk was scared to death."

Qinghe raised his hands high and was suspended by the rope. The long sword was still stuck in his chest, and blood was flowing out from the part where the sword was in contact with his body.Tongming struggled to untie the rope, and placed him on the ground. His body was still hot, but he had no consciousness, and his eyes were already loose.

"Amitabha," Tong Ming clasped his palms together, "little benefactor, don't blame me, I wanted to save you, but you ended up like this because you wanted to die. In this case, another benefactor will be taken advantage of. If you There are spirits in the underground, remember that the wrong has its head and the debtor has its owner, and it has nothing to do with the poor monk to seek revenge on the person who deserves his life."

Tongming gritted his teeth, grabbed the hilt of the sword with both hands and pulled it out vigorously, a tiny amount of blood gushed out from the wound.

Inside Yongqing Palace.

"My son!" Fu Xiu exclaimed, and hurried to help Lin Fang.

When Lin Fang fell, he just hit his forehead. It was too late when Fuxiu hurriedly helped him up. A layer of skin was directly rubbed off his right forehead, which looked shocking.Fuxiu was so frightened that she was about to cry, Shizi Lin was disfigured, and the emperor would definitely question him later.

When Mr. Bai Da entered the hall, he just heard Fuxiu's exclamation. Seeing his disciple's bloody forehead, he was nervous, but he had no time to take care of it. He grabbed the skirt of the imperial physician closest to him and threw it over. : "Take a look for him!"

The imperial physician fell heavily to the ground, hurriedly got up, and treated the wound on Lin Fang's forehead.

Mr. Bai Da ran to the dragon bed in a few steps, and sighed heavily in his heart. If he couldn't pull the little emperor back from the Naihe Bridge today, no matter how many wounds his apprentice had on his forehead, it would be useless to heal them.

Mr. Bai Da grabbed Xia Zhi's wrist, almost couldn't breathe out of his chest, and suffocated him to death.Xia Zhi's pulse was almost imperceptible, his wrist was already a little stiff, it was clearly...

He stared in horror at the imperial physician kneeling on the ground behind him, trembling, and then at the disciple sitting beside him with a gray face. If it weren't for Lin Fang sitting in charge, these imperial physicians would have already burst into mourning.But Lin Fang is here, if he finds out that Xia Zhi has passed away, I'm afraid he...

"Sir," Lin Fang's voice came from behind, "how is the emperor?"

The imperial physician who was kneeling all over the ground trembled suddenly, and even the imperial physician who was treating Lin Fang's wound trembled, and accidentally rubbed his fingertips on the wound. The imperial physician was about to plead guilty, but found that Shizi Lin's eyes had been fixed on him. Staring firmly on the dragon bed, he didn't respond to the pain on his forehead.

"Your majesty... Your majesty's pulse is weird. I've never seen it before as a teacher." Mr. Bai Da pulled his beard hard, frowned, and ruthlessly suppressed the guilt, and said with a sad face, "This pulse is rare, old man We need to discuss with the other imperial physicians before we can make a decision."

Mr. Bai Da grabbed a few gray-bearded imperial physicians out, and they formed a group to discuss the emperor's situation.

Lin Fang relaxed his nerves quickly, and slowly let out the stale air stuck in his throat.Sure enough, if he cared about it, he became confused, Xia Zhi suddenly fell into a coma, presumably because Qinghe was tortured again, according to the usual practice, he would wake up in a short time, how could his life be endangered?

Lin Fang leaned back on the chair: "Then I will be thankful for you."

The imperial physician Nuonuo should be, but he didn't dare to look up into Lin Fang's eyes.

Lin Fang closed his eyes and rubbed the center of his brows. Hearing the whispering voice of the imperial physician, he suddenly noticed something strange—Mr. Bai Da was obsessed with medical skills, and he would be very excited when encountering intractable diseases, but today he calmed down too much. A bit unusual.

Lin Fang opened his eyes suddenly, and looked at the several imperial physicians gathered around him, becoming more and more suspicious.These people looked panic-stricken, they were clearly not discussing Xia Zhi's affairs, but instead seemed to be covering up.

Lin Fang violently pushed away the imperial physician standing in front of him, got up and strode towards the bed.

Mr. Bai Da kept an eye on Lin Fang all the time, and when he suddenly saw him approaching, his heart skipped a beat, and he frowned and said, "You have a wound on your forehead, why come here to make trouble?"

Lin Fang said in a deep voice: "I'm worried about the emperor, I dare not take half a step away." Then he stretched out his hand towards Xia Zhi's wrist.

Mr. Bai Da hurriedly stopped his arm, and reprimanded displeasedly: "You don't believe in the medical skills of a teacher?"

"Sir!" Lin Fang's voice turned cold, "Of course I trust Mr.'s medical skills, but unfortunately, I am afraid that Mr. will only think of me, so he dare not tell the truth." Lin Fang pressed his palm on his shoulder, and quickly grabbed it. The cold and stiff feeling of Xia Zhi's wrist and tentacles immediately made him feel as if he had been struck by lightning, his fingertips trembled unconsciously, and his heart fell straight into the deep valley.

"Fang'er!" Mr. Bai Da felt very bad, he hurriedly clasped his wrist, he felt his pulse was rapid, the veins on his neck were bound to appear, and there was a faint appearance of violent death.

"Confused!" Mr. Bai Da shouted in a deep voice, squeezed the silver needle in his hand, and stabbed heavily at the back of his neck. Lin Fang's body twitched violently, and then his eyes darkened, and the arm pressing on Mr. Bai Da's shoulder Lost strength.

Mr. Bai Da threw him on the couch, and said angrily: "You unfilial thing, for the sake of... for others, you want to abandon your teacher?"

"Sir..." Lin Fang made a small hoarse voice, and looked at Mr. Bai Da pleadingly, "Sir, please let me go."

"Let you go and let you commit suicide?" Mr. Bai Da took two steps impatiently, looked at the ashen-faced person on the bed, and sighed, "Fang'er, the matter has come to an end, why don't you send someone to invite the Queen Mother and..."

"Sir," Lin Fang said hastily, "I promise not to mess around, sir let me go first."

The excited look on his face gradually calmed down, and his earnest eyes fell on Mr. Bai Da's face. Mr. Bai Da couldn't bear it, hesitated for a moment, and gave him another needle.Lin Slowly let out a breath, quickly got up and ordered: "Come here, send all the imperial physicians back to the imperial hospital. If a word of what happened today is spread, you will be killed!"

The imperial physicians were even more panic-stricken, and their faces were full of horror. One of them boldly said: "My son, the emperor has already..."

"What's already?" Lin Fang glanced coldly over the imperial physicians, and said sharply, "Prime Minister Lin conspired against him, and the emperor was so worried that he became sick from overwork. It's fine if the imperial physicians are not good at medicine. Gossip, see you soon!"

A strict order immediately caused all the imperial physicians to be in a state of panic all day long, and they hurriedly followed the imperial army and left.

The bustling hall suddenly became empty, Lin Fang's aura suddenly let go, and his voice was deep and bitter: "Mr. Wronged stay in the palace for a few more days."

Mr. Bai Da looked at the little emperor who had been silent on the bed for a long time, feeling anxious in his heart, and tried to persuade him: "Fanger, the little emperor is already like this, and he has no power to recover. If you can hide it for a while, how can you hide it for a lifetime? Even if the imperial physician Don’t tell me, wouldn’t others make wild guesses? If this matter gets out, everyone in the world will think that you are the one who murdered the emperor, so why did you come here?”

"Sir..." Lin Fang shook his head stubbornly, "The last time Xia Zhi was in a coma for many days, everyone said there was no cure, but when Master Tongming came, he woke up immediately. The master once said that Xia Zhi Being ordered by the heavens is..."

"Lin Fang, I think you're out of your mind!" Mr. Bai Da pointed at the man on the dragon bed, "You put the little emperor here and don't let him be coffined, what should we do for a long time?"

The king of a country passed away suddenly, and the matter must be met immediately with the empress dowager, empress, and important officials in the court, but Lin Fang strictly guarded the news. In the eyes of outsiders, this is clearly a disobedience!When this matter is exposed, he will definitely become the target of criticism from all over the world.It's a pity that this kid is so stubborn that he won't listen to a word of persuasion!

Mr. Bai Da said: "You said Master Tongming could save him, so I will ask you as a teacher, what about Tongming people?"

Lin Fang's eyes darkened: "It was robbed by the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Since the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion already know Xia Zhi's secret, how can they let Master Tongming go so easily? If the master himself is in danger, how can he save the little emperor?"

After Mr. Bai Da questioned Lin Fang, Lin Fang was speechless, and he stood aside and had nothing to say.

"Fang'er..."

"Sir, let's go back to the house first."

"What are you going to do?"

"Sir, please come back." Lin Fang said, "Come here, send your husband out of the palace."

Mr. Bai Da said angrily: "Just now you asked me to stay in the palace for a few more days."

"No need, Master Tongming is not here, and it won't help the matter if Mr. stays. Instead, it will make people suspicious for a lifetime, and the gain will not be worth the loss." Lin Fang sneered and began to bombard people. Mr. Bai Da was very annoyed. This kid clearly disliked him staying here Getting in the way, I was in a hurry to drive him away.

As soon as Mr. Bai Da left, Lin Fang closed the hall door with a "bang". His whole body seemed to have lost his soul. He leaned against the door panel and slid down weakly. He didn't stop until he sat on the cold ground. momentum.

Lin Fang stared blankly at the person lying on the bed soundlessly, his chest and limbs were cold.No matter how high-sounding things you say in front of Mr. Bai Da, the only person you can't deceive is yourself.

Lin Fang got up from the ground and walked slowly towards Xia Zhi, but the short steps seemed so long that he dared not approach, but had to approach.When grabbing Xia Zhi's palm, he dared not feel his pulse at all.The position that could no longer pulsate made him feel ashamed, and he didn't know what to do.

Lin Fang pressed Xia Zhi's palm tightly to his face, and he couldn't tell whose body was colder.He was breathing hard with his eyes closed, when suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall, before Lin Fang could ask, the door of the hall was already kicked open.

"Who is presumptuous?" Lin Fang asked abruptly.

Lin Qingmei walked quickly, frowning, and the person following behind was Mr. Bai Da.Mr. Bai Da lowered his head guiltyly under Lin Fang's gaze.

Lin Qingmei said coldly: "I have heard about the affairs in Yongqing Palace. This matter is related to the safety of the world. If you keep it a secret, don't you care about the country and society?"

Lin Fang said: "As long as you find Master Tongming, Xia Zhi will definitely be saved!"

Mr. Bai Da shook his head sadly: "You are confused!"

Lin Qingmei asked, "Where is this person?"

Mr. Bai Da was surprised: "Empress Empress..."

"Sir, you don't need to say too much." Lin Qing said with eyebrows, "Since the son is so determined, I will fulfill him."

Lin Fangdao: "Master was robbed by people from the prime minister's mansion. I have ordered people to search the place where he should be looking, but he has not been found yet."

Lin Qing asked, "Where's the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Lin Fang shook his head: "No."

"Okay, I will immediately order someone to go..."

"Wait!" Mr. Bai Da suddenly interrupted Lin Qingmei's words, hastily pulled Xia Zhi's arm out of Lin Fang's hand, and caught his pulse with his fingers.

Lin Fang exclaimed in surprise, "Sir!"

Following Mr. Bai Da's line of sight, his eyes fell on Xia Zhi, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

Prime Minister's House.

When Prime Minister Lin hurried back to the mansion, sharp-eyed servants saw it, but the prime minister entered the study and did not see anyone come out for several days.Only then did the servants of the mansion panic, and before they had time to send someone to inquire, they heard that Prime Minister Lin had fled to the southwest at some point, led the rebel army to rebel, and fought with the general sent by the court.

The prime minister's mansion suddenly fell into chaos. As a servant in the mansion, the prime minister's treason must implicate everyone. In a short while, the servants searched all the gold and silver in the mansion and fled in all directions.

Inside the secret room.

Master Tongming was hungry and thirsty, his eyes turned white, and he leaned half-dead on the wall at the junction of the secret room and the study.In the past few days, he shouted and broke his throat, but no one came to rescue him.He searched all over the secret room, but he couldn't find the mechanism to get out. Instead, he exhausted his strength and became a shriveled little old man with hunger.

Licking his dry lips with difficulty, he didn't even have the strength to chant the Buddha's name. If he continued like this, he might go to the west to see the Buddha.

Just when he thought he was about to die, he suddenly heard a loud noise behind him, and then the wall behind him started to turn his head. He fell backward without noticing it, and turned a round somersault, "Ouch!" When he held his head and opened his eyes, there were dozens of long swords with a cold light in front of him.

"Master Tongming?" A familiar voice sounded. The moment Tongming saw Lin Fang, he wept with joy and sobbed hoarsely, "Shizi Lin, the poor monk waited so hard for you—"

Lin Fang nodded awkwardly, and urged: "Hurry up, send the master into the palace!"

The Imperial Army did not dare to be negligent, so they set up Master Tongming on the left and right and hurried away. Tongming wailed: "The poor monk has not eaten for many days, my son..."

Lin Fang glanced at the dark passage of the secret room, and the rest of the people entered with him.

The deeper you go down the passage, the heavier the blood smell in your breath, and when you turn the last corner and see the situation in the secret room, Lin Xin's head jumps wildly, a strange and cold feeling The breath surrounded him.Followed closely behind him was the man of the forbidden army, but looking at this scene, he felt lingering fear in his heart.

Qinghe's eyes are round and round, as if he is dying to die, his eyes have long lost their luster, but they are extremely penetrating.He was lying on the ground in a "big" shape. His chest was cut open, revealing a hideous hole. Bloodstains spread from his body to the pitch-black ground, drying up into a scarlet color. Beside his body, it was painted with bloodstains The strange lines on it seem to be spells or runes.

Anyone who would do such an act in the secret room, except Master Tongming, would not think about it.

Lin Fang's scalp was numb, and he said in a deep voice, "Take out the corpse and bury it properly."

When Lin Fang returned to Yongqing Palace, Master Tongming was sitting at the table and eating Haisai, holding a pig's trotter in one hand and roast goose in the other, his mouth was full of oil.Mr. Bai Da looked at him curiously: "Isn't Master a monk?"

Tongming said: "Monk, I broke the precepts today, and I will ask the Buddha for my sin tomorrow. The Buddha is merciful, and he will not bear to see me suffer from hunger."

Mr. Bai Da admired: "Master, great advice."

Tongming: "That is."

Lin Fang: "..."

After Tongming had eaten and drank enough, Lin Fang hurriedly asked: "Master, the emperor has been unconscious for many days, I don't know why?"

Tongming threw the bone in his hand into the plate, his eyebrows twitched: "If the emperor hadn't been unconscious, would the son still remember to look for the poor monk?"

Lin Fang hesitated slightly, and laughed mockingly.That day the queen was going to send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to search for Tongming's whereabouts, but Xia Zhi's already icy body suddenly heard the sound of a beating heart. Looking at his slowly rising and falling chest, Lin Fang's eyes became hot instantly, and he had already thrown him away. In the back of his head, he couldn't care less about finding someone.At this time, being questioned by Master Tongming, he couldn't help apologizing: "I didn't think carefully about the previous matter. If the master didn't eat well, I will let the master enjoy the delicacies from the mountains and seas."

"That's not necessary," Tong Ming burped with a smell of roast goose, "If you break the precepts for several days, the Buddha will blame you."

Tongming picked his teeth and said, "The benefactor of Qinghe died, and the poor monk made the decision to return the soul in his body to the original owner. From then on, the emperor has three souls and seven souls. He should be mentally clear and healthy. Now he is in a coma. To wake up is because the soul has been away from the body for a long time, and it will take some time for it to be able to wake up after it fits into the body. Calculated by the time when the poor monk was starving, the emperor will wake up in two hours."

Master Tongming teased Lin Fang mercilessly, but Lin Fang didn't take it seriously, and hurried to Xia Zhi's side to watch, counting the time and waiting for him to wake up.

Tongming was sore from this scene of toothache, coughed lightly, moved to Lin Fang's side, looked around mischievously, covered his ears tightly, and muttered in a low voice: "The son just said that I can enjoy the delicacies of mountains and seas, but Still counting?"

Lin Fang: "Do the math."

Tong Ming said: "Okay, I want the imperial chef who cooks roast goose."

Lin Fang: "... Master is not afraid of breaking the precept?"

Tongming: "Amitabha, the Buddha is in my heart, and now he can't hear anything."

Lin Fang: "..."

When Tongming came, he was sitting in a carriage, bumped along the way, and was robbed halfway. When he returned, he was escorted by the imperial army, and he went back to Hanguang Temple in a mighty manner. The reward was given to him in the euphemistic name of letting them follow Master Tongming to give alms at Hanguang Temple and pray for the emperor.

Xia Zhi did not go to court for a few days, and rumors spread everywhere in the court and the harem. In addition, Prime Minister Lin suddenly sent troops from the southwest, under the name of "the side of the Qing emperor", which made people even more suspicious.

The Empress Dowager believed the rumors that Lin Fang was kidnapping the emperor to plot wrongdoing, so excitedly she was about to break into the Yongqing Palace to ask her a teacher, but she happened to meet Lin Qingmei and her two children coming, and she directly blocked the door, not allowed to enter .

Lin Qingmei asked the palace servants to carry the child into the palace, blocked the Empress Dowager's way, and persuaded in a low voice: "Father is high-sounding, and in the name of thinking of the Lin family, he sent troops to the north, disregarding the safety of the family. Auntie If you still consider yourself a member of the Lin family, then you should appease the clansmen, and you must not do anything against them at this time, otherwise, when the king is angry, my Lin family will surely be bloodied and destroyed."

The Empress Dowager asked suspiciously: "Is the little emperor really all right?"

Lin Qingmei sneered: "If something happened to Xia Zhi, I would have put my own flesh and blood on the throne, so why bother with him?"

The queen mother was surprised: "Then Xia Zhi is..."

Lin Qingmei nodded with a sullen face: "He is a maze, and he wants people with evil intentions to jump out by themselves. It's a pity that my father is arrogant and thinks highly of himself, so he jumped into his trap. Aunt," Lin Qing Eyebrow tightly grasped the Queen Mother's wrist, "For the sake of our Lin clan's century-old foundation, Auntie must appease the elders in the clan, and don't act rashly, so as not to suffer disaster!"

Thousands of words are not enough to say "Let your own flesh and blood ascend to the throne", the Empress Dowager did not doubt that he was there, she glanced at the closed gate of Yongqing Palace in a panic, her heart trembled.When she heard about the little emperor's accident earlier, she had already contacted the elders of the clan, intending to cooperate with Prime Minister Lin, but now that she learned the truth, she was almost scared out of her wits.

"Ai... The Ai family understands, so I will go and inform the clan elders."

The queen mother was covered in cold sweat. She came here in high spirits, but returned in disappointment.

Lin Qingmei stared at her back for a long time before turning around and entering the hall.

Inside the hall.

Lin Fang had been sitting for more than an hour, Xia Zhi's pulse was still weak, and he showed no sign of waking up.

Xia Zhao and Xia Cong lay obediently on the edge of the bed. Xia Zhao looked up at Lin Fang's serious expression, and Xia Cong looked at him too. Xia Zhao turned his head to stare at his father's face, and Xia Cong followed suit.

Lin Fang looked at the two live treasures, one big and one small, and couldn't help but hooked the corners of his lips, rubbing his palm against Xia Zhao's hair: "It's called Father."

Xia Zhao looked at Xia Zhi and said loudly, "Father!"

Xia Cong stared at the two with round eyes, crawled to Lin Fang's feet together, straightened his neck and stared at him eagerly.

Lin Fang was puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "What does the little thing want to do?"

Lin Qingmei entered the hall and saw this scene, she smiled and said, "He wants you to touch his hair."

Lin Fang was puzzled, and raised his hand to touch his forehead tentatively. Xia Cong immediately smiled, opened his mouth and shouted, "Ah...puh..."

Lin Fang: "..."

Xia Congwu giggled to himself, and climbed up the edge of the bed, but unfortunately his short legs couldn't reach it, so he couldn't climb up, half of his body was hanging on the edge of the bed, howling.

Xia Zhao walked to his side, pushed his butt hard, and lifted him up.

Xia Cong turned over, got up in a daze, his feet were unsteady, and fell on Xia Zhi's stomach.

"Be careful!" Lin Fang exclaimed, and hurriedly moved the child aside.

"Hmm—" A muffled hum came from the sleepy mouth, Lin Fang's body froze, his mind went bewildered for a moment, and he didn't know how to react.

Xia Zhi opened his eyes in a daze, and saw a round head standing in front of his eyes, and exclaimed excitedly: "Ah...puh..." and sprayed him with saliva.
