Chapter 16 Chapter 16 "Hey, how are you?"...
"stop."
Zhu Song quickly tried to stop him, but it was too late because he saw Wen Fengxuan fall to the ground just as he said that. Wen Fengxuan looked towards him and seemed to glance at him, but it was too dark and Zhu Song was too anxious to see clearly.
Zhu Song strode over to Wen Fengxuan, squatted down and picked him up, "Hey, how are you?"
In the moonlight, Zhu Song saw that Wen Fengxuan's lips had turned black, and he quickly reached out to feel Wen Fengxuan's breath.
Damn, luckily, I’m still breathing.
Zhu Song didn't have time to think about it. He picked up Wen Fengxuan and rushed out. After a walk around, he was now very familiar with the East Palace and went straight to the gate.
Suddenly, a dark figure forcefully stopped Zhu Song. His sword flashed with cold light, and he shouted coldly, "Put him down."
Zhu Song saw that he was dressed in black, with a black cloth covering his face, and the scarf was slightly askew. He seemed to have come in a hurry. He knew at first glance that he was not a good person. Without saying a word, Zhu Song shouted, "Help! There's a fire."
The man in black was a little confused. Zhu Song looked at him coldly and took the initiative, "You actually snatched someone from the East Palace. You are so bold."
Hearing his words, the black-clothed man's eyes widened slightly, his eyes revealing disbelief. At the same time, the servants of the East Palace all stood up after hearing about the fire, making a lot of noise. "Where's the fire?" "Huh?" "Where's the fire?"
Seeing that the situation was not right, the men in black jumped into the shadows and disappeared. Zhu Song also hurriedly picked up Wen Fengxuan and ran away before anyone noticed him. Only then did he regret that he should have taken a carriage, but it was no use regretting it now. He could only run in the night holding Wen Fengxuan.
After hurriedly returning to the Zhu residence, Zhu Song carried Wen Fengxuan and went to find Xu Songlan. He didn't even knock on the door, but kicked it directly. But strangely, the door was not closed. Zhu Song exerted a lot of force, stumbled a little, and rushed into the room, barely able to stand firm.
There was no light in the room, and the moonlight was not bright enough, so the room seemed pitch black. Zhu Song called out, "Xu Songlan."
No response. Strange, where are all the people at this hour of night?
Zhu Song came out of the room holding someone. Just as he was about to ask someone, he saw Xu Songlan walk in. Seeing Zhu Song holding someone, he asked, "Master Zhu, what are you doing?"
Zhu Song didn't ask where he went, but just said, "A friend of mine has been poisoned. Please take a look at him."
Upon hearing about poisoning, Xu Songlan became serious, "Quick, bring him in and put him down."
Zhu Song carried Wen Fengxuan into the room and placed him on the small couch. Xu Songlan lit the lamp and came over to check. She saw that Wen Fengxuan's lips were black and his eyes were blue. His face looked strange. She pried open his eyelids and took his pulse before saying, "This is oleander poison."
Zhu Song frowned deeply, "I know it's the oleander poison, quickly detoxify it."
Xu Songlan looked at Wen Fengxuan's face and shook her head. She spoke bluntly, "It's not just the oleander poison. There are other poisons in his body. Single poisons are easy to cure, but I can't cure this complex poison."
Zhu Song frowned, "If you can't solve it, then who can?"
Xu Songlan remained calm. "Don't panic, Master Zhu. I just learned that the Divine Doctor Guigu has arrived in Beijing and is currently staying at the Tianyue Inn. If he can help, he will surely be able to detoxify you."
Zhu Song breathed a sigh of relief. Wen Fengxuan was so lucky.
They hurried to Tianyue Inn. The waiter came quickly and opened the door after Xu Songlan knocked twice.
Zhu Song had just been here a few days ago, so the waiter knew him. When he saw him, he politely called out, "Master Zhu."
Zhu Song asked, "Which room does the Divine Doctor Guigu stay in?"
The waiter replied, "I don't know who the Ghost Valley Divine Doctor is."
Xu Songlan changed the question, "Which room does Su Li live in?"
As soon as Su Li was mentioned, the waiter knew, "You live in the third room of Tianzi. I will take you up there."
Waiters are naturally talkative, and they can start talking even without being asked. "This Mr. Li just arrived, and he's so anxious he practically slammed the door open, and he's speaking in such a rude tone. I've been in the capital for over a decade, and I've never seen anyone like him. I was wondering who he was, and it turns out he's a miracle doctor."
Zhu Song's mind wasn't on this, and he didn't respond. Xu Songlan did, however, say, "Yes, I just found out too. He's said to have just arrived from Qingzhou. I've heard that this doctor is very mysterious, and I've never met him before."
The waiter said, "He's even wearing a mask. He's so mysterious."
As they were talking, they had already reached the third room in Tianzi. The waiter came forward and knocked on the door. "Sir, help me, it's urgent."
The person inside shouted coldly, "He's asleep. No need to save him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Song kicked the door open. Everyone was asleep at this hour, but they were all awakened by the earth-shaking noise. The waiter quickly said, "Master, please be busy. I'll go and explain."
The waiter left after he finished speaking. Zhu Song carried Wen Fengxuan into the room. Xu Songlan consciously went to light the lamp. The person on the bed sat up straight, wearing a silver mask and with a cold look in his eyes. "Who are you?"
Zhu Song took out the Dali Temple badge and said without further ado, "The Dali Temple is investigating a case. Please save someone."
Su Li's attitude was very tough before entering the room, but it changed after entering. She was ready to say that it changed when she saw Wen Fengxuan. Without saying much, she started to treat Wen Fengxuan directly. If Zhu Song had not been too worried about Wen Fengxuan, he would have been able to see the worry in Su Li's eyes and the roll of her eyes at him.
Su Li finished the diagnosis quickly, and deftly pried open Wen Fengxuan's mouth and fed him a pill. "This pill can only temporarily preserve his heart meridians. To detoxify, we must use the Qingzhou Xu family's heirloom - dragon bones."
Xu Songlan said quickly, "I'll write home right away and ask them to send the dragon bones over."
Su Li said: "That medicine can only save his life for five days."
Five days. Qingzhou is a thousand miles away from Beijing, and the fastest round trip would take four days.
Zhu Song looked at Su Li and asked, "If I get the dragon bone, where can I find you?"
Su Li was very straightforward, "I will be in the capital for the next half month. After you get the dragon bone, just come to Tianyue Inn to find me."
Zhu Song added with concern, "Everyone has to cooperate when the Dali Temple investigates a case. If you dare to play tricks on me, you will bear the consequences yourself."
Su Li raised her eyes to look at him, with a hint of disdain in her eyes, "Don't worry, sir, I still understand this rule."
Without saying too much, after saying his blessing, he took his people away. Xu Songlan looked back at Su Li every few steps, his eyes full of admiration. Su Li looked at him coldly, ignoring him without any appreciation and went to lie on the bed.
After leaving the inn, Zhu Song asked, "Do I have to write a letter? Do you have any token of trust?"
Xu Songlan took off the jade pendant from her neck and handed it to him. "This white jade rabbit is the Xu family's young master's token of authority. Sir, you can take it to Qingzhou to get the dragon bone."
Zhu Song handed Wen Fengxuan to him and said, "Time is urgent. I must rush to Qingzhou immediately. This person is extremely important. You take him back and give him to my father. Be sure to hand him over personally and tell him that this is a surprise for him."
Although Xu Songlan didn't understand the inside story, he could sense the importance of the matter from Zhu Song's tone. He nodded seriously and said with assurance, "Don't worry, sir. I will personally hand it over to Master Zhu."
Zhu Song patted his shoulder heavily, turned back to Tianyue Inn to buy a horse, and deftly put the bill on Zhu Jingchen's head. Zhu Song rode his horse furiously to the city gate, opened it with the token from the Dali Temple, and hurried to Qingzhou.
On the other side, Xu Songlan was walking on the quiet street holding Wen Fengxuan. The sky was dark and the only sound in the world was his footsteps. The moonlight was still bright, but when he lowered his head, he saw Wen Fengxuan's black lips, which was very creepy.
Suddenly a stone hit his back. Xu Songlan turned around and shouted, "Who?"
A rushing sound of wind rang in his ears, and Xu Songlan felt someone beside him. He looked back and saw that his neck was hit hard by a knife. He fell softly to the ground. When he closed his eyes, he saw a man in a black mask hurriedly hugging the man in his arms.
At the moment of fainting, Xu Songlan thought, it's over, Master Zhu's surprise is gone.
The next day, Xu Songlan was awakened by the heavy sound of rain at the gate of Zhu Mansion. He was a little dazed when he opened his eyes and saw the gate of Zhu Mansion. Then he remembered what happened last night and hurried into the mansion. The rain was so heavy that he bumped into Zhu Jingchen who was going out to court in the yard.
"Oh my, it's not okay for young people to be so reckless."
Zhu Jingchen's umbrella almost fell out of his hand. He quickly took two steps back and adjusted his official hat at the same time.
Xu Songlan quickly said, "Oh no, the surprise is gone."
Zhu Jingchen said, "I have to go to court now. I'll tell you whether it's a surprise or not when I get back."
Xu Songlan chased him, "Late last night, Master Zhu brought back a disheveled man..."
With these words, Zhu Jingchen, who was almost late for the morning court, stopped him. He stared at Xu Songlan with wide eyes and said, "Keep talking."
Xu Songlan continued, "That man was poisoned, and I can't cure it..."
Hearing this, Zhu Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, it's not what I thought. I'm going to court now. We'll talk when I come back."
Xu Songlan wanted to continue speaking, but Zhu Jingchen pushed him away without hesitation and went to court.
Zhu Jingchen, sitting in the sedan chair, was still thinking about Xu Songlan's words, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
No, we have to quickly arrange Zhu Song’s marriage. Bringing men home every few days is not a big deal.
I wrote a letter to my wife today, asking her to come back quickly to arrange Zhusong's wedding. It would be best if the wedding could be done by the end of the year so that we can have a grandson next year.
The more Zhu Jingchen thought about it, the happier he felt. However, his happy mood was wiped out after he was scolded for being late for the morning court. He worked hard all day and returned to the Zhu Mansion in a miserable state when it was almost dark.
Xu Songlan, who had been waiting for him for a whole day and was miserable, looked even more miserable when she saw his miserable face, but she still forced herself to tell him what happened last night.
“That’s the process.”
After listening to his explanation, Zhu Jingchen frowned and asked, "What does that person look like?"
Xu Songlan replied, "Extremely beautiful, prettier than anyone I've ever seen. It's an extremely stunning beauty, even prettier than the gods in heaven..."
Zhu Jingchen interrupted his endless stream of compliments speechlessly, "I don't want to know how beautiful he is, I want to know what he looks like."
After listening to Xu Songlan's description, Zhu Jingchen's depression that lasted for the whole day was swept away, and he praised repeatedly, "Great, good interception, good interception"
After saying that, he realized something was wrong and asked, "Where did Zhu Song go?"
Xu Songlan was a little confused by him, but still repeated honestly: "I went to Qingzhou to get the dragon bones."
Zhu Jingchen slammed the table after hearing this, "This brat never lets me have a day of peace."
Xu Songlan didn't understand what he meant and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhu Jingchen glanced at him and said casually, "It's none of your business. Go have fun."
"Ah?" Xu Songlan responded subconsciously. Seeing that Zhu Jingchen had no intention of saying anything else, she tactfully left.
After Xu Songlan left, Zhu Jingchen sighed heavily. The prince had already left the capital today. Not only did Zhu Song make a wasted trip, but it was also a serious crime for a capital official to leave the capital without permission.
Oh my God, what is going on!
