my demon

Jiang Xinyu went back to Jiangjiazhuang in despair, picked up a few herbs that had just been picked and ordered the boy to cook the soup, and then went back to the house and asked the guards who were serving him: "How is your lord?"

The guard was very anxious: "The fever still hasn't subsided. Just now I fed the medicine once according to your intention, but I vomited it up again soon. If I give it again, I won't drink it."

Jiang Xinyu said in a low voice: "I'll give the prince an injection to make him feel better, maybe he can be given the medicine."

The guard said in a low voice: "My lord won't let anyone serve you..."

Jiang Xinyu frowned: "No medicine and no acupuncture, how can this be good?"

The guard said: "My lord just doesn't allow people to talk close to me. What can I do? I still want to quietly go to Beijing and invite a few more imperial doctors from the imperial hospital to come and treat me together."

Jiang Xinyu felt sad: "I just now..." He thought of the experience that he didn't know whether it was a dream or a ghost, but he didn't say: "Forget it, I will go in and give the prince an injection, you go to the kitchen to see if the medicine is ready and bring it here Bar."

The guards folded their hands and left, Jiang Xinyu raised his head and looked at the stars on the dark sky, his heart was so heavy that he just wanted to cry, but a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Does Prince Duan live in this room?"

Jiang Xinyu was startled and turned his head to see a tall and slender man appearing in the courtyard at some point, wearing a cloak and a hood that hung down to cover his face, even the lower part of his face was hidden in the shadows , seems to be able to disappear into the darkness at any time.

Suddenly such a person hiding his head and face appeared, the guards on duty in the courtyard became vigilant, they all came out from the place of duty and pressed their knives and asked, "Who is it?"

Jiang Xinyu recognized at a glance that it was the attendant standing behind the little emperor just now, and he hurried forward and said, "Are you sent by the emperor?"

When the guards heard the emperor, they pressed their swords more nervously and asked, "Who is here? Take off your hat! Tell me your name!"

Jiang Xinyu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Has the emperor returned to the palace? Are you here to report? Have you contacted the imperial physician Jiang Mushu of the imperial hospital?"

The tall man who seemed to be standing in the shadows finally raised his hand slightly, and a gloved hand was exposed from the wide sleeve of his robe, holding a scroll of yellow silk in his hand: "This is the Holy Majesty's handbook, ordering me to come here as the end The prince heals."

Jiang Xinyu was stunned, stepped forward to take the scroll, opened it, and saw the little emperor's handwriting, he was suspicious: "You come for treatment? Are you a doctor? Do you work in the Imperial Hospital? Why have I never seen you before?" ? Didn’t the emperor come from Xuantai Hospital’s imperial physician?”

The Lich didn't speak, but raised his head slightly, looking behind Jiang Xinyu: "Prince Duan."

Jiang Xinyu turned his head in surprise, and sure enough, he saw Duan Wang Xiaoji standing by the door at some point. He was still in a high fever, but he was neatly dressed, with a calm demeanor, calm and sharp eyes, and he stared at the Lich and asked. : "Since you are a doctor, what is your last name?"

"The surname is Wu, Wu Jiuyao, the Jiujiu that returns to one, and the Yaoyao that shines at sunrise."

Xiao Ji said: "The emperor ordered you to come and heal me? How does the emperor know that the lonely king is here and is sick again?"

The lich said: "At the request of the imperial doctor Xiaojiang, the emperor is grateful for Prince Duan's service for the country and the people, and ordered me to come and treat him for him."

Xiao Ji said, "Can you heal alone?"

The Lich said: "Yes."

Xiao Ji said: "There are also many guards here who are sick. If so, you should see a doctor for them first."

Jiang Xinyu was a little disappointed, but still persuaded: "Prince Duan, since this doctor Wu can find this place alone at night, I'd better ask him to feel your pulse."

Xiao Ji knew that this little Jiang doctor was devoted to medical books and didn't understand these twists and turns, so he just said indifferently: "No need, life and death are life and death, the lonely king is worthy of the ancestors of heaven and earth, it doesn't matter if he dies."

Jiang Xinyu was stunned, but saw the man in black interjecting: "Prince Duan's trip to the south of the Yangtze River has done a lot of good deeds and good luck. This plague is indeed not life-threatening, but it will seriously damage the vitality and linger on the sick bed."

Xiao Ji laughed: "Your Excellency can speak."

The man in black continued: "It's just that the guards around you are from the plague land, and they are very dead. If you don't treat them, they will all die suddenly in the next few days. Not only that, the plague will continue to spread. Along the voles, wells, birds, and flies, the plague was brought to nearby villages, and the infection spread to the capital, and the plague flowers will bloom all over the capital.”

Xiao Ji's face changed slightly, but Jiu Yao said something that was faintly worrying in his heart, but he remained calm: "I heard that the emperor is getting older and has his own ideas. Are you sent by An Guogong's mansion? Is it to use the plague to imprison the lonely king and others here?"

Jiang Xinyu was taken aback, and turned to look at Xiao Ji: "My lord!"

Xiao Ji smiled: "I know that you haven't left these few days. I think you met this doctor Wu when you were picking herbs? The Marquis of Cheng'en dare not do anything to me. The Queen Mother still needs Gu's support." The imperial confinement is in the lonely hands. If the emperor wants to get rid of me, the auxiliary prince, the plague is a good excuse. With the support of the Duke of Anguo, Ouyang's son-in-law is also a wise and almost demon character. He can catch this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in time. Opportunity, it is a good excuse to kill Gu Wangquan here, and then claim that Gu Wen died of illness."

Jiang Xinyu couldn't believe it, and his eyes were red: "My lord!" He regretted it in his heart, could it be that the little emperor brought people to the other side of the valley, originally to encircle and suppress Prince Duan?For a moment he was startled, angry and regretful: "Blame me for telling them the specific residence of the prince!"

Xiao Ji smiled: "Look at the man in front of you, how does he look like a doctor? He is calm and calm, but he has the air of a general. The old Anguo Gong Weida was also a famous general in the army back then. Over the years, he can train a few people who are worthy of the past." He is a good general. If you think about it, the outside world is already surrounded. The little emperor hides his strengths and bides his time. He is wise and brave. He can be regarded as a good descendant of the Xiao family. gone."

Jiang Xinyu said angrily: "Your Majesty is loyal to the country and the people, the emperor has done this without justice, punishing and killing meritorious ministers, the world begs for it!"

The Lich raised his head slightly: "Prince Duan is thinking too much, I really came to treat illnesses."

Xiao Ji's expression was quite relaxed: "Oh? Then I will leave it for you to treat your illness, and let this doctor Jiang and this king's subordinates leave, okay?"

Lich said indifferently: "They have the plague virus on them, leaving will spread the virus, it's better not to leave Zhuangzi."

Xiao Ji said: "This doctor Jiang has been treating plague diseases in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and he is very experienced. As long as he is given enough time, and the guards like me are isolated and treated for a period of time, they will surely recover. If Old Anguogong can let them go Ma, the lonely king can slay himself here immediately, without leaving any future troubles. Of course, drinking poison is also fine, but it’s not a pleasure.”

Jiang Xinyu said in grief and indignation: "I won't go!"

All the guards pressed their swords and shouted together: "We will advance and retreat with the prince!"

Xiao Ji didn't have any tragic look on his face: "That's all right, then let's fight, each is his own master, don't hold back."

The guards shouted: "No!"

A few guards came forward with their swords, shouted, and slashed at the Lich, but the slash was empty. The Lich's movements were as treacherous as smoke, and he didn't know when he retreated a few steps to the corner of the wall, and sighed slightly. Tone: "I told you that I really came to treat illnesses, why didn't you listen?"

Jiang Xinyu stepped forward angrily, "Is there someone like you here to treat illnesses? Where's your medical bag? Where's your medicine box?"

Lich said indifferently: "Because I am a witch doctor."

Jiang Xinyu choked: "What?"

The Lich was still standing in the darkness, but everyone seemed to feel a slight chill.

Xiao Ji was originally in a high fever, but at this moment he felt a burst of coolness and refreshment for some reason. He suddenly raised his head: "Is it snowing?"

It's already June, where is the snow coming from?

Everyone looked up, and sure enough, they saw tiny snowflakes floating down in the air.

The Lich said: "Witch doctor, of course the treatment method is different from that of your court physicians. Although it is a little troublesome, it will be done once and for all, but everyone may have to work harder."

Xiao Ji looked up at the Lich: "Who is Your Excellency?"

The cold air on the ground was even worse. Everyone could see the hoarfrost on the ground with their naked eyes, and the white snowflakes in the air became more and more fine and dense, rolling in the air with the cold wind.

Lich said: "I said it at the beginning, my name is Wu Jiuyao, I am a witch, and I was ordered to come here to heal King Duan."

Suddenly another guard exclaimed, a bunch of flowers suddenly appeared under his feet, the color of the flowers was deep red, and large clusters of delicate flowers bloomed among the dark green grass leaves, which was very strange.

The Lich said: "This is the seed you brought from the Plaguelands, and it has blossomed."

In an instant, the plague flowers bloomed all over the soles of everyone's feet, and quickly grew taller. The petals were full and thick as if they had absorbed enough water, and they were full of blood.

There is a strong aromatic smell in the air, but there is a faint fishy smell inside, like a ripe fruit that has been broken.On the frost-white ground, more and more crimson flowers bloomed, spreading like flames, leaving nowhere for people to hide.

The flowers seemed to have absorbed some energy, and they grew crazily. When they gradually grew to the height of half a person, a dark and strange cat suddenly appeared in the flowers. Its eyes were green flames, and it stared excitedly as if staring at prey. watching them.

The guards were all holding their knives, at a loss. Some people pulled out their knives to cut off those flower bushes, but saw more and more flower branches, and the flower juice splashed like blood splashed on the ground, and new flower bushes quickly grew on the ground.

The Lich frowned, stretched out his gloved palm, moved his slender fingers lightly in the air, and muttered to himself: "I hate the plague domain the most, it doesn't suit my aesthetics at all." Embarrassing, it was able to cover at least a city before.

All the flowers were in full bloom, spitting out crimson pollen, and above the breathtaking flowers, a large group of firefly red mist suddenly gushed out, flickering and flickering, flying towards everyone.

Xiao Ji only saw countless red mist surrounding him, and when he looked closer, he found that it was a group of densely packed, tiny glowing red bugs, flying towards his facial features and sticking to his body, and as he breathed into the airway, he frightened Sleeve wanted to drive it away, but it was useless. Soon everyone present was surrounded by red mist, and gradually even the clothes and skin could not be seen.

Xiao Ji didn't know when he fainted.

When he woke up again, Xiao Ji felt the very bright and hot June sun shining on his face. He suddenly sat up, and saw his guards and others poured down the courtyard, frost, flowers, snowflakes, cats and that The black-clothed witches have all disappeared, and all the weird and weird things last night seemed to be just a nightmare.

The guards woke up one after another, picked up their sabers, and straightened their clothes, all with dazed expressions.

Jiang Xinyu also woke up at some point, and ran over to touch Xiao Ji's forehead and wrist: "My lord! Your fever has subsided!"

Wu Yunduo meowed and was very full.
