Luoyang.Kyushu Pool.

The descendants of the Wu family and the Li family took the seats along Wu Zhao's left and right hands.After Wu Zhao sat down, everyone also sat down.This time, Princess Taiping encouraged Wu Zhao to hold the party.Wu Zhao is not only the daughter of the Wu family, but also the daughter-in-law of the Li family, and has a continuous blood relationship with the Wu and Li families.Now that she is enthroned as the emperor, she doesn't want to see Wu and Li's families being at odds with each other.At this moment, Princess Taiping came up with an idea at the right time when she entered the palace: in the name of Wu Zhao, let people from the Wu and Li families get together to eat, drink and drink frequently. the point.Although Wu Zhao didn't believe it, there was no other way to do it. He could only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.Therefore, on this day, the descendants of the Wu and Li families should all come to Jiuzhou Lake for a banquet.

Sing praises.Toasts and chips staggered.Laughing and cursing.Seeing that everyone was no longer as tense as before after drinking a few glasses of wine, Wu Zhao was finally a little relieved. "Your Majesty, don't just look at others. You should eat something too." He Danggui held up his sleeve with one hand, and put vegetables on Wu Zhao's plate with the other.Wu Zhao nodded: "Danggui, this is a family banquet. You don't have to be too restrained, just treat it as your own family." He Danggui replied with a smile: "Yes." Can the emperor's family be the same as ordinary people's family?At least in my own family, I don't have to say those compliments to my parents.

He Danggui quietly observed everyone in the table.Li Dan, the heir of the emperor, has a fair and sharp face, thick eyebrows and a straight nose, and a pair of eyes as clear as morning dew exuding a gentle light.When Tuan'er was pouring wine for him, he turned around and nodded slightly, said something in his mouth, then turned around with a smile, his every move showed nobility and elegance.Princess Taiping's black hair was coiled behind her head, revealing her high forehead, with emerald emerald flowers stuck in the middle of her head, and several golden hairpins slanted in her hair. Her emerald green dress set off her white skin like jade.While listening to what Concubine Liu said next to her, Princess Taiping gently stirred the porridge and rice with a spoon, with a hint of a smile on her lips.As if sensing He Danggui's gaze, Princess Taiping looked up at He Danggui.He Danggui immediately looked away, but met Wei Wang Wu Chengsi's eyes again.Wu Chengsi also smiled at her, so He Danggui had to bow his head and pretend to be drinking.Wu Zhao picked up a dish with chopsticks for He Danggui: "Danggui, why haven't you moved your chopsticks for a long time? Is it because you are not feeling well or the food is not to your liking?" He Danggui laughed quickly: "No, Danggui likes to eat very much."

After eating a few chopsticks, He Danggui poured another glass of wine for Wu Zhao.With a wrong eye, Tuan'er was pouring wine for the emperor's heir again.This is against the rules.Tuan'er was originally Wu Zhao's female official. Without Wu Zhao's order, she should not leave Wu Zhao's side to serve others, and others would not dare to use her.Looking at the emperor's heir's face, he was already a bit reluctant, but Tuan'er was as happy as his name said, and poured wine for the emperor's heir.When the emperor's heir turned around, Tuan'er still looked at the emperor's heir, reluctant to leave.I see.He Danggui smiled and turned his eyes away, he just didn't know.Wu Zhao saw that He Danggui's mind was not on her at all, his eyes were wandering, and he said half-truth and half-falsely: "Danggui saw that the house was full of young men, and you think it's boring to accompany me as an old woman?" He Danggui was startled, and he was about to get up Kneeling down, Wu Zhao hurriedly grabbed her.He Danggui bowed his head and pleaded guilty: "Danggui dare not. Danggui is only from a small family. He has never seen such a big scene, so he lost his composure for a while. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Everyone stopped and looked at them.Wu Zhao laughed loudly: "It's okay. I was just making a joke with Danggui. Danggui is too timid to make a joke." After speaking, he pulled He Danggui to sit down, raised his own glass and fed He Danggui a drink, "Okay, it's all my fault. I'll make it up to you with half a glass of bouillon to express my apology." He Danggui was even more terrified, and dared not even say it.However, Wu Zhao insisted on bringing the wine glass to her lips, and watched her drink it.Wu Zhao's move greatly eased the atmosphere during the meeting.As everyone became active, the laughter gradually became louder.

He Danggui gradually felt his cheeks getting hot, so he told Wu Zhao drunk: "Your Majesty, Danggui is very dizzy. I am afraid that I will lose my appearance in front of everyone and shame Your Majesty. Danggui retreated first." Wu Zhao glanced at He Danggui, His cheeks were glowing, he was obviously too strong to drink, and he said with a smile: "But I'll give you half a glass of wine, why is it like this? Alright, let's go back and rest."

Back in the side hall of Tongming Hall, He Danggui poured tea to rinse his mouth, dipped a towel in water and wiped his face, then sat down in front of the case.After a while, I still felt upset, so I got up and prepared to go to the garden to relax.As soon as the door was opened, Princess Taiping was standing in front of the door, still with that half-smile expression on her face.He Danggui hurriedly saluted: "Danggui sees the princess." Princess Taiping waved casually: "Get up." She went straight into the room.He Danggui didn't like people entering her house, and she didn't use any of the people Wu Zhao allocated to her. She only let them move around in other houses and yards.However, Taiping is the princess of Tang Dynasty, she can only endure it no matter how she likes it.

"Doctor He, you should prefer others to call you that?" Princess Taiping sat down in front of the hall, looked at He Danggui, her voice was as warm as a spring breeze, but there was no deep meaning behind her words.He Danggui replied cautiously: "The princess can call Danggui whatever she wants, but it's just a title. As long as the princess likes it." "Oh?" Princess Taiping picked up the tea offered by He Danggui and took a sip: "Danggui, You remind me of a maid in the mother's palace, I don't know if you recognize her. Her name is Song Nanxi." He Danggui smiled: "I don't know. I don't know many palace ladies in His Majesty's palace." Taiping The princess smiled and continued: "A few days ago, I heard that Song Nanxi had a brother named Song Beichuan who fought with people on the street and accidentally killed someone. He was executed after a few days. Pity the Song Nanxi family , the parents died early, the daughter died early, and the remaining brother will not live long."

Princess Taiping stopped for a while, seeing that He Danggui was still silent, she got up and walked out: "I thought you knew Song Nanxi, so I came here specially to tell you the news. Since you don't know him, then don't worry about it. He Danggui turned around sharply, saw Princess Taiping was about to go out after opening the door, took a breath, and said in a deep voice: "Princess, please stay." Princess Taiping smiled as if she had expected it, and turned to look at her.He Danggui knelt down Yingying: "Danggui knows his mistake, let the princess punish me. Please let the princess let Beichuan go." Princess Taiping helped He Danggui up: "Then Song Beichuan did kill someone, I didn't frame him. But I can indeed save him One life." He Danggui was about to kneel down again, but Princess Taiping tried her best not to let her kneel: "I have something to discuss with Imperial Physician He. I'm not a mother, and I don't have the temper to be sympathetic. Don't kneel down to the wrong person."

He Danggui changed his calm face: "I don't know what the princess wants?" Princess Taiping said with a smile: "This is the real you." He Danggui didn't answer, just looked at Princess Taiping.Princess Taiping continued: "If I have any orders, it depends on what you want to do when you are with your mother?" He Danggui still did not speak.Princess Taiping's smile also faded: "Doctor He, I can't save Song Beichuan when you look like this." He Danggui bit his lip and said, "It's only right and proper to kill someone." Princess Taiping raised her eyebrows: "I guessed right. .But I think there's a better way."

He Danggui also relaxed: "Oh? I don't know what better way the princess has?" Princess Taiping said word by word: "Let her kill her relatives one by one with her own hands, and become a veritable lonely family." He Danggui sneered : "You are His Majesty's biological daughter, the only princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, why should I trust you?" Princess Taiping smiled lightly: "Don't you understand? Naturally, it is for the first son-in-law." He Danggui shook his head slowly: "That's just One of the reasons. There are a lot of guests in the princess mansion, which is very like Mr. Meng Chang. I'm afraid Princess Taiping has other plans." The corner of his mouth slowly raised a smile, "Princess, Your Majesty will occasionally leave some notes. I occasionally I happened to go to serve His Majesty, and I happened to see those excerpts. Since the princess went to rescue Beichuan, I would like to repay her kindness, and advise the princess to keep a low profile and not to be too eager for quick success in everything." The smile gradually froze, "I must kill Wu Meiniang. But the princess's suggestion is also good, let her kill all her relatives first, and then take her own life."

Princess Taiping sighed: "Then this is difficult for me. After all, I am my mother's own daughter, how can I just watch you kill her?" He Danggui replied coldly: "Danggui will follow Nanxi after everything is done. In the ground, the princess doesn’t have to worry about anything.” Princess Taiping walked up to He Danggui, touched her face with a smile: “So she is a cold beauty. It’s hard work for you to do small burials every day.” He Danggui turned his face and avoided Princess Taiping's hand.Princess Taiping withdrew her hand and said, "If you have any news, let Ke'er tell me."

Princess Taiping was about to go out when He Danggui said again: "I don't know what went wrong with Danggui so that the princess found out?" Princess Taiping laughed and said: "Doctor He, your love for my mother is not very good. My mother is shrewd You can fool her, but you just took advantage of her not knowing what love is." When Princess Taiping went out, He Danggui slumped on the ground.It was almost for naught.

Xue Huaiyi retreated from the Hall of Tongming and was walking along the corridor to the outside of the palace when he saw He Danggui standing by the pillar looking at the chrysanthemums in the yard.Xue Huaiyi smiled contemptuously, and went up to meet him and said, "The imperial physician is very interested." He Danggui turned to look at Xue Huaiyi, "It's the time when the chrysanthemums are blooming in autumn, and Master Xue can also reward you if you have time." "I am not as idle as the imperial physician. I just received the imperial decree from His Majesty." Xue Huaiyi raised the hand holding the imperial decree, "Your Majesty appointed me as the chief officer of the march, and sent me to fight the Turks. I am so busy here, how can I be like He? The imperial doctor is so comfortable, just look at the flowers and play with the birds to live?" He Danggui nodded with a smile: "Yes. Danggui is very leisurely, but this leisure is bestowed on me by His Majesty. I am the only female favorite of His Majesty Zhou, naturally You don’t need to make contributions everywhere to please His Majesty like Master Xue. Master Xue is different. His Majesty’s male favorite is not only Master Xue, and Master Xue’s appearance is not satisfactory. I heard that Master Xue used to sell plasters in the world, so he must I don't know how to say nice words. Compared with other men, I'm afraid it's more than 01:30 points. Master Xue wants to hide under His Majesty's pomegranate skirt, so naturally he has to show some skills." Looking at Xue Huaiyi, he became more and more unhappy. Looking at the expression on his face, he continued: "Master Xue, you know that His Majesty held a banquet in Jiuzhou Lake a few days ago. Why did you bring me and not others? It's because there are too many male favorites. It's not good to choose anyone or not. How about choosing me, Mr. Zhou's only female favorite, I will do my part. I am here to wish Master Xue a victory, and when he comes back from a big victory this time, His Majesty will look up to Master Xue." Xue Huaiyi snorted coldly: "Doctor He, don't be too complacent. Wait When I come back after winning the battle, I want His Majesty to drive all of you useless men and women out of the palace. Imperial Physician He should think about his own way before I come back." After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for He Danggui to speak. Sleeves are gone.

Ayi carried Shangguan Wan'er all the way to the cave, and gently placed her on the bed made of branches.Although Ayi had tried to walk as smoothly as possible, Shangguan Wan'er's leg was so badly injured that she felt a sharp pain when she moved a little.When she lay down on the branch, her face was pale and she was sweating several times.Seeing Shangguan Wan'er biting her lip, Ayi thought she kept silent all the way and endured so much pain, she blamed her heartbrokenly, "Didn't you call out when you were in pain?" Shangguan Wan'er shook weakly. Shaking his head: "It's already much lighter than when it was bone-setting. I'm fine. You can take a rest." Ayi gently stroked the wet hair on Shangguan Wan'er's forehead, and said, "I know some herbs can cure legs. Injury. I’ll look for it, and you lie down first. I’ll put food and water beside you, so you can reach them when you’re hungry or thirsty.” Shangguan Wan’er nodded, grateful and guilty: “Thank you, Ayi " Ayi waved his hand: "Thank you. I'm used to this. We don't have many doctors on the grassland, and we all find herbs to apply on our own. However, there are a lot of livestock on the grassland, so everyone knows how to cure bones. wound." After speaking, she stuck out her tongue again, "Wan'er, I didn't mean you are an animal." Shangguan Wan'er smiled: "I know."

When Ayi came back, he had some grass in his hand.While pounding the grass on the stone, Ayi said: "There are some herbs that I can't find. Wan'er, you apply these first. If it doesn't work, I'll go to the town to buy medicine." Shangguan Wan'er said yes One sound.After a while, Ayi held the crushed herbs and spread them on Shangguan Wan'er's knees, covered them with a cloth torn from her clothes, and fixed them with wooden sticks.After finishing the work, I breathed a sigh of relief and asked Shangguan Wan'er: "How do you feel now?" Shangguan Wan'er said with a smile: "It's cool, it's much better." Ayi snorted: "If you don't tell me again To tell you the truth, you are the one who hurts." After two or three days of continuous work, Ayi was already exhausted.Now that there is nothing to do around, I feel relieved to sleep on the branch on the other side with my clothes on.

For two days in a row, Ayi was out looking for herbs and hunting wild animals, and accompanied Shangguan Wan'er to recuperate from her injuries. "This is not acceptable." Ayi put down Shangguan Wan'er's wrist and said.Shangguan Wan'er looked at her inexplicably. "Your internal injury won't heal if you don't drink medicine. There are a few less medicines on your legs, and I see that your leg injury is also recovering very slowly. Besides, you can't always eat meat. So, I'll go to the town to buy some rice Hecai, I have bought all the medicines." Ayi walked to the entrance of the cave and backed up, stuffing a dagger into Shangguan Wan'er's hand: "I have been away for a long time this time, you should be more careful." Shangguan Wan'er Nodded: "If you meet someone from His Majesty, run for your own life and leave me alone." Ayi smiled and said, "Wan'er, I must take you away."

After Ayi left, Shangguan Wan'er stared blankly at the top of the cave.According to the current situation, if the injury on his body heals, he will be taken to Turkic by Ayi, that is absolutely impossible.If it continues to be bad, His Majesty's people will find him sooner or later.But His Majesty's people should not dare to force themselves to return to Luoyang.Then, it is better to let the injury recover slowly.While meditating, he suddenly heard footsteps outside. Before he had time to think about it, he asked loudly, "Who is outside?" The person outside replied, "Miss Shangguan, we were sent by Mr. Song to save the girl. We Can I go into the hole now?" It came so fast.Shangguan Wan'er replied, "Come in."

Five or six men in blue walked into the cave.The leader cupped his hands and said, "Girl, that female devil has gone out of the mountain and seems to have gone to town. Let's take the girl away now." Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly asked, "Do you want to take me back to Luoyang?" The leader replied: "Yes." Shangguan Wan'er shook her head: "My body and legs are injured and I can't move. I can't go back to Luoyang." The leader turned his head and said: "Bailing, come and see the girl Others follow me to the entrance of the cave." A woman came over and knelt down, felt Shangguan Wan'er's pulse, looked at her legs, got up and walked to the entrance of the cave: "The injury on the girl's body is very serious, it is not suitable to Traveling long distances." After a while, the man just said: "There are people from us in the Prince's Mansion. Let's go there. You carry the girl on your back."

The group of people came over again just now, and they helped Shangguan Wan'er onto the back of the woman named Bai Ling.A group of people left in a hurry.
