The road of the king, the minister and the husband

Chapter 24

The next morning, Xiao Yiran packed a small package, in which there was only the book written by Kong Yan except for a few sets of clothes.

Xiao Qingzi stood beside him, frowned at Xiao Yiran who was silent with his head down, opened his mouth and finally couldn't help asking: "My lord, do you have something to hide from the master?"

Last night after the master left, the young master kept himself in the room. Although he heard the voice of the master losing his temper when he was guarding outside the door, no matter how he looked at it, the young master Xiao did not look like the master said. Besides, who would not Knowing that although Mr. Xiao has a bad temper, he is wholehearted towards his master.

Xiao Yiran paused, raised his head and looked at Xiao Qingzi tightly pursed his lips and shook his head, "It's okay." Although he was very sad now, sad that Yin Tianqi misunderstood him, but if he didn't do this, he couldn't leave the palace right away.

Xiao Qingzi couldn't bear the tears in his eyes, turned his head to look at the open door, leaned over to Xiao Yiran and said softly, "My lord, is something wrong with your master?"

To be a slave, one must have good hearing and eyesight, unfortunately, Xiao Qingzi has good eyesight and ears.He heard Yin Tianqi's words, and heard every word.

Xiao Yiran was taken aback, and looked at Xiao Qingzi who was half a head taller than him in surprise, "What did you hear?"

"Your servant is just guessing, son, is it because of something wrong with your master that you left this time? You tell this servant why you are leaving. This servant does not believe that you will betray your master." Xiao Qingzi has been with him for too long, if Yin Tianqi is the number one If the first person knows Xiao Yiran, then he is the second one.

"Qingzi, let me tell you, I will never betray my master in this life." Pursing his lips, Xiao Yiran looked at Xiao Qingzi with a cold face, then turned around and continued to pack his bags, and took a look at Yin Tianqi's exit token. time to go.

Xiao Qingzi stretched out his hand to stop him, "Young Master, Qing Zi will go with you." He couldn't let Young Master go out to suffer alone, at least he was older than Young Master and was used to serving him.

Seeing that he opened his mouth to refuse, Xiao Qingzi turned his head and ran out, "Young master, this slave, go and tell the master!" When Xiao Yiran wanted to call him, Xiao Qingzi had already run a long way.

In the study, Yin Tianqi was reading military books with a gloomy face, and shut himself in the room when he came back from the Tai Tuo in the morning, saying he was reading, but he was actually sulking.He never thought that the child he had pampered and coaxed for more than three years would leave as soon as he said he would, without even a word of rebuttal.

"Master, please see Xiao Qingzi." Xiao Lizi knocked on the inside of the study, and glanced at Xiao Qingzi who was standing beside him with his head bowed.

"Well, let him in." Yin Tianqi threw the book in his hand on the table, raised his hand and pinched his sore forehead.I didn't sleep last night, and every time I closed my eyes, the child acted like a baby and got angry with me.

Xiao Qingzi entered the door, went to the desk and knelt down without saying a word, "Master, this servant asks for your mercy, let this servant go out of the palace with Young Master Xiao."

Yin Tianqi got angry and rushed up, took the jade paperweight and threw it over, hitting Xiao Qingzi on the forehead.

"You bastard, the Lord's servants have all been hooked away by him!"

That angry look made Xiao Qingzi tremble in fright, and he didn't care about being hit with a big bump on his forehead, so he bent down and kowtowed, "Master, son, there must be something unspeakable for you, this slave dares to guarantee with his life, you will not Will betray the master."

After what he said, Yin Tianqi's anger was calmed down. He raised his hand to signal him to stand up, leaned against the back of the chair, closed his eyes and frowned for a while, then opened his eyes suddenly, stood up and rushed out.

Damn guy, dare to hide such a big thing from him!

Not caring about the calm demeanor and the calmness he maintained all the time, he strode towards the room where Xiao Yiran lived in the side hall and ran over, pushed the door open, there was no one inside, it was an empty room.

"Where are you! Who are you!" Yin Tianqi turned around and shouted at a group of court ladies and eunuchs who were running behind him, "Where did you go!"

"Back, back to the master, Mr. Xiao just left..." The court lady kneeling on the ground said tremblingly, she had never seen the third prince lose such a temper.

gone?Yin Tianqi was stunned for a moment, and ran towards the gate of Qiyang Palace with his people, but they were all in vain again.The guard guarding the palace gate told him that he had just seen Imperial Doctor Kong's carriage, and Young Master Xiao got in the carriage and left with Imperial Doctor Kong.

This time everything can be explained clearly, why Kong Yan suddenly said that he would leave the palace for two months to find an antidote for him, why Xiao Yiran suddenly proposed to leave the palace and go back to the general's mansion, if it wasn't because of this sound poison that upset him, how could he? Can't figure out such a simple connection.

Medicine man, medicine man, that little guy is going to be a medicine man.

Hitting his fist on the table, Yin Tianqi took a deep breath and looked up at Xiao Qingzi who was standing outside the door, "Get out."

Xiao Lizi poked Xiao Qingzi who was standing with his head bowed, and motioned him to enter the room, "Be careful, don't talk nonsense."

Xiao Qingzi rolled his eyes at him, stooped into the study and turned around to close the door.

"master……"

"I asked you, what did you say?" Holding a beautifully crafted hollowed-out sandalwood fan in his hand, he tapped on the table lightly to make a thumping sound.

This fan was a birthday present that the child had specially asked for when he was around. He asked the skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to make it. It would be the child's tenth birthday in two months, but the child was not with him.

Xiao Qingzi shook his head, lowered his head and said softly, "Young Master...Young Master, he said that he would never betray Master, and he would never do so in this life." Kneeling on the ground with a thump, Xiao Qingzi gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice, "Master Lord, I beg you, can you send someone to find the young master, I always feel that the young master will not come back once he leaves this time."

The hand holding the handle of the fan tightened, Yin Tianqi gritted his teeth, he didn't know this truth.

Xiao Yiran sat in the carriage with his legs crossed, gritted his teeth to prevent himself from crying.Since following Yin Tianqi's side, he has not left for about four years.

"Young Master Xiao..." Kong Yan called him softly, with an unnatural expression on his face.

"Emperor Kong, if you remember what I said today, the master's poison can be cured, and we will all be better off. If the master's poison can't be cured, I can't spare you either." The long eyelashes with teardrops lightly With a slight trembling, those peach blossom eyes showed a stern look like coldness.

Kong Yan's heart tightened, and he nodded solemnly, "Kong Yan admires Mr. Xiao's heart as a master."

"You don't need to admire, just remember your words." Xiao Yiran closed his eyes not to look at him, holding the string of jade beads that Yin Tianqi gave him a few days ago in his hand.

Kong Yan's carriage stopped in front of a narrow gate in the south of the city. He got out of the carriage first, then turned around and reached out to help Xiao Yiran get out of the carriage.

Looking up and looking around, they were all ordinary houses, Xiao Yiran nodded and walked into the courtyard.

"This is your house?" After looking around at several houses, Xiao Yiran looked at Kong Yan, and it smelled like herbs.

Kong Yan nodded slightly, and led him into one of the huts, "Young Master Xiao, although the environment here is simple, it is quiet, and there are few people walking around."

Xiao Yiran hummed, he didn't care much about the environment.

"When will it start?" The sooner he tried the medicine, the sooner he became a medicine man, so the master could get rid of the poison earlier.

Kong Yan licked his lower lip and sighed, "At any time, Mr. Xiao, I'll ask you again, have you thought about it?" How many times he has seen people test drugs in pain and finally bit their tongues to kill themselves, this thin child can really stand up. Do you live in the heart-biting pain?

"Since you are called a slave, then do what a slave should do. You don't have to ask those things." With a cold snort, he threw the small bag he was carrying on the wooden bed beside him, "Where is the pharmacy?"

It must be right not to test the medicine directly from his room, Xiao Yiran went out to the main room, opened the door and looked, and was stunned.

It is full of medicinal materials, all kinds of medicinal materials, there are a lot of bottles and jars, and there is a large wooden barrel in the center of the room, which contains dark medicinal juice.

"What is this?" He walked closer and smelled it, and the strong smell of herbs made him frown.

"Medical bath, my son's physique has been weak and cold since he was a child. This is what this slave is going to make up for you." Kong Yan took a small stool and put it next to the wooden barrel, and stretched out his hand to support Xiao Yiran who stepped on it. "Your master is a medicine man. There is danger, but the slave must also minimize this danger."

"You have a heart." Xiao Yiran reached out and touched the medicine soup, it was warm.

"Master, eat some dinner first, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat normally from tomorrow." Kong Yan helped him down, looking at Xiao Yiran with eyes full of worry.

"Okay." Nodding without saying anything, Xiao Yiran listened to Kong Yan's words and smiled slightly.

An hour later, under Kong Yan's gesture, Xiao Yiran took off his clothes and put his feet into the big wooden barrel. The warm medicinal soup made him tremble slightly.A chair was placed in the big wooden barrel, just sitting on it so that the medicine soup could cover his shoulders and expose his head.

"My lord, this is today's medicine, it's called..." He handed a small black pill to his mouth, before he finished speaking, Xiao Yiran rolled the pill into his mouth with his tongue and swallowed it.

"..." Kong Yan was speechless for a moment, he hadn't said what kind of poison would react.

Xiao Yiran looked up at him, with an indifferent smile on his lips, "There are poisons on the left and right, what do you say so much."

Kong Yan sighed, took a pen and paper and sat down on a chair beside him. He needed to record the time and process of poisoning.

The waiting time was boring, Xiao Yiran closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, but the expression on his face lost the initial indifference.

"Master?" Kong Yan stood by the barrel and called him softly.

Opening his eyes, Xiao Yiran looked at him, those peach blossom eyes were no longer clear, and now there were bloodshot eyes, it was obvious that the poison was wreaking havoc in his body.

Seeing how he gritted his teeth and forbearance, Kong Yan wanted to remind him that he could yell if it hurt too much, but he was so distressed that he didn't want to say it.

He knew the power of Duanchang powder. After taking the poison for fifteen minutes, the viscera were dislocated and the pain was unbearable. It was used in the prison cell to extract confessions by torture. .

Beads of sweat on his forehead rolled down into the medicinal soup like soybeans, Xiao Yiran bit his lip tightly, he could hold it back, but the pain was nothing, the master's life was the most important thing.
