Chapter 39
Chapter 39
The weather in early spring was really cold. After the palace banquet, the ten-year-old Qi Yu went for a walk in the imperial garden to digest his food. He really ate too much in the past few days.
"You are the son of a general, why are you so weak? What a useless thing!" There was a burst of commotion.
"What's going on over there? Fulu, let's go and have a look." Qi Yu couldn't hold back his curiosity and moved forward to hide behind the bushes.
"Your Highness, be careful, don't get scratched!" Fu Lu whispered worriedly.
"Oh... I got it, I got it!" Qi Yu waved his hand, and after a closer look, he saw his second brother Qi and third brother Qi Jin on the other side of the lake with a small group of royal family and nobles.
The one who was yelled at by them was a child about seven years old, dressed in moon white robes, his face was pale from the cold, but his resolute eyes were always cautiously staring at the people around him in front of him.
"Oh, it's quite fierce~" Qi Jin stepped forward to kick the child, but was stopped by the second elder brother next to him, "Third brother, don't make trouble, at least he is the son of General Shi..."
"Brother Huang!" Qi Jin shook off the held hand, "Look at him, does he still look like the son of a general? He still has the same name as my fourth brother who caused trouble, as if he wants to tell the whole world They are princelings! Hmph...! I'm going to vent my anger on him!"
Little Qi Yu couldn't believe that his third brother, who was fourteen or fifteen years old, was so violent. Just when Qi Jin was about to kick the child, Qi Yu flew out and stood in front of the child.
After all, it was a thin body, and Qi Jin, who was [-] or [-] years old, was a strong boy. With this kick, he kicked both of them into the icy lake.
"Help... help! Help! Help!" Two landlubbers flapped in the water.
"Hey, hello!" Fulu, who had reacted, was the first to shout, "Come on, come on! His Royal Highness has fallen into the water! Come on, come on!"
Two children were resting in a sleeping hall wrapped in quilts and hugging the stove. Outside was the voice of Emperor Tailin's wrath.
"What's your name?" Qi Yu asked.
The child did not answer, a little timidly.Fu Lu on the side replied with a smile, "From what the third prince said, I guess it should be the only son of General Shi Ji, Shi Yu, right?"
Shi Yu nodded slightly shyly.
"No wonder they say you have the same name as me," Qi Yu said with righteous indignation, "What's going on? It's a joke! It's clearly destined! Don't be afraid! I have a solution."
Shi Yu stared blankly at Qi Yu who spoke righteously, and seemed to feel a little unreliable.
"Ahem..." Shi Yu coughed.
"What's wrong with you?" Qi Yu asked concerned.
Fu Lu said again for Shi Yu, "I heard that Shi's young master had asthma, and the general Shi didn't let him practice martial arts in the past few years without finding a cure, which is why today's situation happened."
"Don't be afraid, you saved me today, there is no cure, I will find it for you!"
Shi Yu was a little overwhelmed, and held back a long silence before saying, "...Thank you, Your Highness."
I don't know how it was resolved in the end, anyway, the second prince was imprisoned for a month, Qi Jin was imprisoned for half a year, and then the Tailin Emperor issued another decree, giving the only son of the Shi family 'Yu' the name.Since then, Shi Yu has also been given a special order to enter and leave the East Palace at will - even though he didn't go there two or three times a year.
It was a good year again, the sun was warm in winter, Emperor Tailin took everyone to travel around the south of the Yangtze River, admiring his wonderful country, and Qi Yu was among them.The light snow falling from the sky casts a layer of coldness on this gentle woman in Jiangnan.
Qi Yu's mischievous mentality was at work again, so he secretly dragged Shi Yu out of the door.
"His Royal Highness, why do you want to take me with you, Qin Shu can't do it?" Shi Yu was helpless.
"Oh! That little antique will definitely talk about me, so I don't want to listen to his nagging!" Qi Yu rode his horse and pointed to the front, "Look at that mountain, it's so beautiful, let's go and have a look..."
Before he finished speaking, many masked men suddenly emerged from the dark place, all of them holding sharp swords, with fierce eyes.
Qi Yu was a little scared. Because he was afraid of making noise, he didn't bring many people with him.Seeing Shi Yu who has no effort around him, he sneaked closer to Shi Yu, "Hey, your asthma should be okay after riding a horse for a while, right?"
Shi Yu felt a little nervous at this moment, and couldn't hear what Qi Yu was saying, "Ah~ah?...Ah!"
Qi Yu patted Shi Yuma's butt hard, and the horse was frightened, and immediately stretched out its hooves and strode forward.
"Go back and rescue the soldiers!" Qi Yu's instructions lingered in his ears, Shi Yu looked behind him, but he didn't dare to delay, gritted his teeth and ran into the city.
"Tell me, who sent it?" Qi Yuyun asked calmly, without any trace of fear.
The masked man didn't say much, and went straight up to fight, every move would be fatal.After a while, due to being outnumbered, Qi Yu gradually fell into a disadvantage.But after all, he was still a child, with a flexible body, and he slipped away from everyone's noses in an instant.
The masked men looked at each other in dismay, "Chase!" and spread out in all directions.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Qi Yu was really tired and hungry, and passed out in a hidden place in a valley.
Ten-year-old Liu Ran was walking in the forest with a small basket on her back.Hey, it's freezing cold, let him go to Yaogui Valley to collect herbs, he's only ten years old, okay?
However, thinking that after returning home, she would be able to eat Sister Su's snacks, she was very happy.Unknowingly, Liu Xiaoran jumped up, but saw a thin figure curled up in front of her—a fainted Qi Yu.
It must be another little boy who got lost in the medicine ghost valley by mistake.
Liu Xiaoran stepped forward and turned over Qi Yu, wow, why is there still blood on this person?
"Wake up, wake up...hey..."
Hearing someone calling him, Qi Yu opened his eyes in a daze, and a warm current flowed from his mouth.
The body temperature gradually recovered, Qi Yu barely opened his eyes, looked at Liu Xiaoran who was in front of him, and asked with difficulty, "Who are you? Where is this place?"
"My name is...Xiaoran, this is Yaoguigu, why are you unconscious here? You should be a rich man, where are your followers?"
"Something happened and I lost my way." Qi Yu lowered his head, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the jade pendant on Liu Xiaoran's waist, and the word "Liu" was engraved on the blue jade pendant.
willow?Willow dye?
Qi Yu thought for a while, but heard his stomach growl.Liu Xiaoran smiled, "Are you hungry?" He took out a cake wrapped in kraft paper from his bosom, "Nuo Qi, eat!"
Qi Yu took the cake and ate it in big mouthfuls.Unexpectedly, the smell of this cake attracted a vicious dog nearby.The vicious dog stared at the two of them salivating, and let out a low growl from time to time.
Liu Xiaoran's legs were a little weak, and Qi Yu was also trembling. The two moved back slowly and gently, but unexpectedly, the vicious dog took a big step forward.
"Ah~!" Liu Xiaoran was almost unsteady, "Oh my god! This vicious dog is more vicious than my little wolf dog!"
But suddenly remembered that there was still a packet of poisonous powder in his arms, so he sneaked out, waved to Qi Yu, "Give me, give me the cake!"
"Oh! Good!" Qi Yu handed half of the cake in his hand to Liu Xiaoran, and Liu Xiaoran secretly smeared a handful of poisonous powder on it, and threw it to the vicious dog's feet with lightning speed.
The vicious dog asked, and it seemed to be quite delicious, so he licked left and right and started to eat.Both Liu Xiaoran and Qi Yu held their breaths and stared at the vicious dog. After a while, the vicious dog's body began to shake from side to side, and its legs softened.Liu Xiaoran grabbed a thick piece of wood next to him and hit the vicious dog vigorously.
The vicious dog let out a cry, and fell limply on the ground. He shook his head and seemed to feel a little dizzy. He tried to stand up but couldn't get up. Liu Xiaoran beat him several times, but he still didn't get knocked out. Are you trying to exhaust me to death!" Liu Xiaoran panted.
Suddenly, Qi Yu snatched the wood from Liu Xiaoran's hand, and with a stick down, the vicious dog fainted.
"Oh my god! You have a lot of strength in such a small body." Liu Xiaoran was dumbfounded.
Qi Yu said embarrassedly, "Do you have anything to eat?"
Liu Xiaoran thought for a moment, then gave him all her food, and then said in bits and pieces, "The road conditions here are complicated, so don't forget to go into the valley. I have something to do in the valley, so it's not convenient to take you with me. If you can trust me, wait for me here. If you can't trust me, just leave first.
Of course, if your family comes looking for you, if you go with them, put my kettle upright here, so I know I'm safe, and if you turn the kettle upside down, I know you're in danger just left.
The dog won't be able to wake up for a while, so you have to figure out what to do. "
Qi Yu took the food and agreed, "Okay!"
"Okay, then I'm leaving!"
"Ah."
Liu Xiaoran continued walking, but suddenly found a group of people in front of them looking for something, looking very anxious.
Could it be that he was looking for the young master just now?
Liu Xiaoran stepped forward and asked the middle-aged man tentatively, "What are you looking for? Are you looking for someone?"
The middle-aged man was Shi Ji, and when he heard this, he said with joy, "That's right, this little boy, have you seen... my young master?"
It looks like the concerns are real.
For a moment, everyone looked at him.Liu Xiaoran said embarrassingly, "Ahem... I don't know if it's your young master, but I did meet a young man who was about my age just now, wearing a white brocade robe, with an extraordinary demeanor."
"Really?!" Shi Ji was overjoyed and asked, "Where is it?"
"Then," Liu Xiaoran pointed in the direction she came from, "don't worry, he's fine. By the way, when you get there, don't break into the valley through that opening."
"Why?" Shiji asked curiously.
"Because," Liu Xiaoran said, "There are many poisonous insects and beasts there, so if you don't want to make troubles, leave there."
"Okay, thank you little boy. May I ask who is the name of the little boy and where does he live?"
"It's just a boy who gathers herbs. As for where to live," Liu Xiaoran pretended to be an adult, "I live in this Jiangnan area." After speaking, he walked forward leisurely.
"Ahem..." When a person passed by, he heard coughing.
Liu Ran looked up, but saw a young master with bright eyes and bright teeth, oh my, I like to see pretty little beauties the most.
Liu Xiaoran came back to her senses, "Ahem... this young master probably has asthma?"
"How did the boy see it?" Shi Ji asked.
"Ahem..." Hearing the word boy, he felt a little embarrassed, "I can hear this young man's coughing sound. I think it has been three or four years, and the medicines used are all for the symptoms, not the root cause."
"What's your opinion, boy?" Shi Ji unknowingly trusted Liu Xiaoran very much.
"I have a kind of herbal medicine here. The previous prescription remains unchanged. Adding more this herbal medicine will heal you when the season changes this year." Liu Xiaoran took out a handful of lavender flowers from the basket, and took out another one from her bosom. Put it in a cowhide bag for him, "here, this is picked from Medicine Ghost Valley. If you don't believe me, there is it anywhere in Jishitang, you can go and ask."
"Thank you boy, boy is really a little genius doctor reincarnated." Shi Ji took the leather bag.
"It's ridiculous, but he's just a naughty boy who longs for a good hand to rejuvenate." Liu Xiaoran waved his hand, turned around and walked away, then remembered something, and added, "By the way, the young master has taken this medicine, so you must not marry a wife and have children prematurely." Ya!" After saying that, he laughed and ran away.
"..." Shi Yu looked embarrassed, "Father,"
"This little boy is as big as a little ghost," Shi Ji suppressed a smile, "Okay, let's talk to His Highness first!"
"Yes!"
Shi Yu turned his head and took another look at Liu Xiaoran's back, thoughtfully.
"Young Master! Let's go!"
"Well! Here we come!"
When Qi Yu was found, he was still eating bread. When he returned to the palace, Emperor Tailin and the Empress almost didn't cry. The Eldest Prince had passed away, and the Empress really couldn't bear the pain of bereavement for the second time.
The plum blossoms in the palace are in full bloom, with low brows, they circle around the prince's window.
"Your Highness, I found out." Fu Lu whispered from the side.
"Oh?"
"Jiangnan Liu family, there is a young son named Liu Ran, who often goes to the valley to collect medicine. He is as old as your Highness."
Willow dye.
Qi Yu smiled, "If I can see that little brother again in my lifetime, I will definitely thank you in person."
Thank you for saving my life, thank you for protecting me.
