V2.Chapter 86

Xiao Zhenting left the capital overnight, but Shangguanyan couldn't hide it from Shangguanyan. Shangguanyan also came. When the couple arrived in the village, Xiaomabao was already asleep. They slept in Yan Jiuchao's arms. Yan Jiuchao probably I never dreamed that the little bastard in his hands would be so quiet in his arms, guarding him and waiting for him.

Yu Wan let the children sleep beside Yan Jiuchao, Yan Jiuchao loved them so much, with them by their side, maybe he could wake up sooner.

"Cong'er!"

Shangguan Yanren did not arrive at the sound line.

Yu Wan was sitting by the bed and wiping Yan Jiuchao's face, she heard the sound and put down the handkerchief, got up and put the washbasin on the shelf next to her.

Shangguan Yan walked in, her eyes were all red, and she wanted to cry all the way. Before entering the house, she tidied up a little, but she couldn't hold back when she saw Yan Jiuchao for the first time, and she couldn't stop crying. cried.

Xiao Zhenting walked in.

This room is quite spacious, but when this burly man as large as a mountain entered, the space seemed cramped.

He patted Shang Guanyan on the shoulder soothingly: "Don't cry first, the child is going to wake you up, show the doctor first."

His voice had a natural rudeness, and it was not too soft when lowered, but his cautious look reminded people of the gentleness of a beast.

Shangguanyan told him to move, looked at Yan Jiuchao, and at the three sleeping little milk buns, stopped crying, and was helped by Xiao Zhenting.

"Come in." Xiao Zhenting said, looking at the door.

This voice seemed to have the coercion of a beast.

An old doctor with a grizzled beard came in with a medical kit.

He is not a palace doctor, but a doctor whom Xiao Zhenting found from the people. He is best at such intractable diseases. He has prepared all the medicines he has given to Yan Jiuchao over the years.

Yu Wan stood quietly in front of the shelf, no one seemed to notice her, and no one let her out, so she stayed in the room motionless.

The old doctor did have two brushes and gave Yan Jiuchao a few needles. Yan Jiuchao's empty and dull eyes closed. Compared to his unblinking appearance, as if his soul had been drained, he fell asleep like this. Rather, it is more acceptable.

But Yu Wan understood that there was no difference in his condition.

The old doctor checked Yan Jiuchao's pulse again and again. After the diagnosis, he stroked his beard and let out a long sigh.

"What's the matter, Doctor Zhong? How is my son?" Shangguan Yan asked choked up.

The old doctor cupped his hands and said helplessly, "Young master's situation is not good."

"Why, what's wrong?" Shangguan Yan asked eagerly.

"Time is running out," the old doctor said helplessly.

Shangguan Yan only felt darkness in front of her eyes, and the world was spinning.

Xiao Zhenting supported her in time to prevent her from falling to the ground.

Shangguan Yan burst into tears: "...Didn't you say there are still two years...he's only twenty-three..."

Yu Wan frowned, so it was true, Yu Zigui didn't lie, Yan Jiuchao really didn't survive twenty-five...

The old doctor said: "That is the ideal situation, but this 'disease' may worsen at any time."

Being able to live to this day is an eye opener. Of course, the old doctor would not dare to say this. As a doctor who has prepared pills for Yan Jiuchao for more than ten years, he knows better than anyone that the situation of Yan Jiuchao is actually It was getting worse every year, and his dose of medicine was added, and this year, he couldn't add any more, otherwise, it would turn into a poison.

Shangguan Yan was dizzy crying.

Xiao Zhenting carried her to the next door.

The most heart-wrenching thing in life is that a white-haired person gives a black-haired person. Yu Wan is now a mother, and she understands Shangguan Yan's reaction very well.

The old doctor stayed in the house. He went to the carriage to get medicine, saying that he wanted to give Yan Jiuchao a medicinal bath. This was a futile struggle, and it was nothing but a relief to Shangguan Yan's heart.

The two did not bring their servants, and the water in the basin was cold, so Yu Wan went to the kitchen to get another basin, and continued to wipe Yan Jiuchao's face.

"He was under a poison curse."

Xiao Zhenting's voice suddenly sounded behind Yu Wan.

Yu Wan turned her head and looked around, making sure he was talking to herself, got up and said hello, "Marshal Xiao."

"No need to be polite." Xiao Zhenting motioned for her to sit.

Yu Wan sat back on the stool, this man was too tall, she stood like an innocent little pity in front of him, and when she sat down, she looked like a little milk cat.

Therefore, they didn't notice her just now, or they couldn't greet her, and the reason why they didn't let her avoid suspicion was because they wanted to let her know about Yan Jiuchao's condition.

Are you treating her... as one of your own?

Yu Wan took Yan Jiuchao's cold hands, which were so cold that there was no trace of warmth. Her body was hot, and her hands and feet were cold. This was not a good sign. She wiped his hands with a warm cotton cloth and said in a low voice, "Have you been hit at a young age? ?"

Xiao Zhenting nodded: "When I was two or three years old."

Isn't that the same age as the little milk bag?

Yu Wan's fingers tightened: "Who is so cruel?"

"Emperor." Xiao Zhenting said.

Yu Wan was stunned for a moment, late emperor? Wasn't the first emperor the grandfather of Yan Jiu Dynasty? How could he put a poisonous curse on his grandson?

"The emperor thought that King Yan was not his blood." Xiao Zhenting said.

Think not? Is that so? Yu Wan looked at Xiao Zhenting in astonishment, and Xiao Zhenting sighed: "It's a pity that this misunderstanding was never clarified to the late emperor, but even if it was clarified, the late emperor would be helpless."

"Is there no solution to this poisonous curse?" Yu Wan didn't ask who framed King Yan. It couldn't be a simple misunderstanding, but there were some things she shouldn't know.

Xiao Zhenting is very satisfied with her knowledge. This kind of royal secret should not be an outsider. It is a desperate risk to stab the late emperor, and then biting out the present majesty, is it because he has a long life, or does he think that this girl is not dying fast enough?

Xiao Zhenting didn't say anything about Yu Wan's doubts: "I have been looking for a way to remove the curse all these years... This is not something from the Central Plains, but a poisonous curse from the southern border, which first appeared in Nanzhao Kingdom."

Yu Wan has read a lot of books these days, and she roughly understands that the areas south of the Central Plains are collectively referred to as Southern Border. Most of the Southern Border is the territory of Nanzhao State, and there are a few small clans who have surrendered to Nanzhao State.

Xiao Zhenting continued: "The original intention was to tame the dead of the royal family. After finding that its toxicity was irreversible, the Nanzhao royal family gradually banned it, but its secret recipe has been passed down. I didn't expect it to be introduced into the Central Plains. I didn't expect that the late emperor would have such a vicious way to deal with King Yan's children."

Yu Wan also couldn't understand the actions of the previous emperor, but they all said that accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, and those who can sit on the throne are probably not soft-hearted people. They know that King Yan is not her own flesh and blood, and because of the royal face, they cannot deal with King Yan in an open and fair manner. , The backlog of hatred in his heart caused the late emperor to do cruel and inhuman things.

It's just that Yan Jiuchao suffered, he was still so young, this kind of contest was unfair to him.

"Since this poison curse is so domineering, is Yan Jiuchao hopeless?" Yu Wan asked.

Xiao Zhenting paused and said, "Have you heard of the Southern Border Gu technique?"

Yu Wan shook her head.

Xiao Zhenting said: "There is a Gu technique in the southern border, which may be able to solve this poison curse."

It's just that Gu techniques are not so easy to learn. To become a real Gu Master, you need to nourish Gu with your body. Ordinary people can't bear the toxicity of Gu at all, so the number of Gu Masters is extremely rare.

Not to mention, what Yan Jiuchao needed was not an ordinary Gu Master.

Xiao Zhenting said: "I have already asked Xiao Wu to go to the southern border. I believe that there will be eyes on him soon."

It's no wonder that I haven't seen Fifth Master Xiao these days, and I dared to go to the southern border to find an antidote for Yan Jiuchao.

...

Shangguan Yan could have brought Yan Jiuchao back to the capital, but she didn't. She and Xiao Zhenting lived in the village. The two were like an ordinary couple, taking care of their seriously ill son.

Everyone in the village knew that Wan Gongzi's parents were here. It turned out that he had parents. His mother was as beautiful as flowers, and his father was mighty and majestic. He was really lucky.

The villagers also know that Mr. Wan is ill. Mr. Wan is the great benefactor of their village. He is ill, and they want to visit him. Every day, villagers bring fresh vegetables or wild vegetables to Mr. Wan’s house. .

Shangguan Yan all accepted it gratefully.

"Get well soon." Aunt Zhang said.

Shangguan Yan took a basket of chili peppers from Aunt Zhang, and was filled with emotion. She could hear it countless times a day, but she couldn't get tired of it no matter what. In the capital, everyone expected her son to die soon. , Here, but everyone wants her son to live well.

Shangguan Yan returned to the room, looked into the bronze mirror, took off the golden hairpin on his head, took off the expensive silk, and changed into a plain cloth.

When Xiao Zhenting returned to the house, he saw his high-ranking wife, like a peasant woman, holding a hoe, bent over and turned the ground in the backyard.

Xiao Zhenting looked at her in astonishment.

A trace of shame crossed Shangguanyan's face: "I...I think they turned the ground like this, I don't know if they turned it right."

"I'm coming." Xiao Zhenting said, rolling up his sleeves.

Xiao Zhenting is good at fighting, turning the ground...turning the ground is useless.

The couple tossed around in the backyard all morning, and all the good ground was ruined...

There were many villagers who came to the door, and Shangguan Yan heard a lot of stories about her son from them. She never knew that her notorious son was so highly respected in the village.

"Mr. Wan is a good person. Back then, we were bullied by the people of Xinghua Village. It was Mr. Wan who came forward and persuaded the county master!"

"Master Wan also saved Miss Yu!"

"Mr. Wan is a scholar. He reads well. He is the quasi champion of our village!"

nice guy? benefactor? Quasi-scholar?

This, does this really mean her son...

People in the village didn't know Yan Jiuchao's identity and illness, but the Yu family got some accurate information.

"Awan." The uncle came to Yu Wan's house with a cane. His legs and feet were much more convenient, and he could walk a half-mile slowly without a cane, but he was anxious to look at Yu Wan, so he still put the cane on the pestle.

Yu Wan had just finished checking her homework for Little Tie Dan. She had something she needed to do, but she didn't fall behind on anything she was supposed to do. The uncle simply didn't understand how she did it. Other girls encountered this kind of thing. It was time to cry to the death, but his Awan didn't cry, his Awan was very strong.

"Uncle, why did you come here? Just let me go there if you have something to do. Your legs are better, and you can't walk much." Yu Wan helped the uncle to a chair and sat down.

The uncle said distressedly: "I came to see you, if you are sad..."

"I'm not sad." Yu Wan interrupted the uncle.

Uncle was startled.

Yu Wan said firmly: "I will cure him, so there is nothing to be sad about."

"But..." This is not an ordinary disease, and it cannot be cured.

Yu Wan curved the corners of her lips and said calmly and calmly, "I will cure him, just like I cured my uncle."

Uncle was speechless.

He wanted to refute, but found himself unable to say a word.

When this girl boasted about Haikou and said that she wanted to cure his leg, everyone thought she was crazy, but she did it, and she never gave up on what they thought was impossible.

She can cure his leg, and... can also cure Young Master Yan's illness?

But... But the doctor she can find, the Xiao family and the young master's mansion can also find, or even more, they are all helpless, can Awan really do it?

"This time, I'll treat it myself." Yu Wan said.

The medical books left by Grandpa Bao had already made Yu Wan familiar with them. Yu Wan searched for more medical books to read. She bought them all from the town, but did not find any useful ones, so she went to the capital again.

"Medical books, I also have them at home." Bai Tang said.

Families with deep backgrounds all have a little collection of books. Bai Tang emptied his bookshelf and sent them all to Yu Wan. Fearing that these medical books would not be enough, he found a study in the capital and bought all the medical books that he could buy. .

The medical books from the Young Master's Mansion and the Xiao family's medical books were also sent to Yu Wan's house.

Shangguan Yan didn't think Yu Wan could really help, but she just wanted to save her son, so she was left to toss.

"Awan!"

Yu Feng entered Yu Wan's house in a hurry.

Yu Wan put down the medical book in hand, raised her head and looked at him: "Big brother?"

Yu Feng walked in a hurry, sweating profusely. He didn't care about wiping off the sweat. He carefully took out a cloth bag from his arms, opened it and said to Yu Wan, "Look, medical book."

Different from the brand-new medical books that were bought on the market or collected by aristocratic families, this medical book looked a little worn out, and the pages were yellowed.

"Where did it come from?" Yu Wan took the medical book.

Yu Feng said: "I just went to the village next door to collect spring bamboo shoots, and I met old Cuitou. He heard that our family was buying medical books, and he said he also had one in his hand, and asked me if I wanted it? I want to download it, I don't know much. , I don't know if I bought it wrong, but for a tael of silver, if he dares to frame me, I will beat him!"

With his stingy temperament, he was willing to spend a tael of silver to buy an old medical book.

Yu Wan glanced at him gratefully: "It's a medical book, thank you eldest brother."

"It's all right! You watch first, I'll go to work first." Yu Feng said, leaving another bag of fresh fruit before turning around and going out.

Yu Wan glanced at Guozi, smiled, and carefully looked at the medical skills at hand.

Five miles away from Lotus Village, a carriage was parked.

Old Cuitou stood outside the car and said respectfully, "... Back to the Second Highness, I have sold the medical book to the Yu family. If the mother-in-law finds out about this..."

Yan Huaijing said lightly: "Gu won't let her know, and she will take care of you when she knows."

"I am relieved to hear the words of the Second Highness, but..." Old Cui Vung paused and asked in a puzzled way, "Isn't the Second Highness incompatible with Yan Jiuchao? Why do you still let me Give the medical book to Miss Yu? What if...she cured Yan Jiuchao?"

Old Cuitou had never diagnosed Yan Jiuchao's illness, so it was hard to judge whether the medical book was of any use to Yan Jiuchao, but Yan Huaijing's attitude clearly did not want Yan Jiuchao to die.

Old Cui Tou said: "With all due respect, this is a great time to get rid of Yan Jiuchao."

Yan Huaijing said coldly: "Gu wants to get rid of him, there are some ways, but Gu wants to win with integrity, and wants him to lose convincingly! He has to live, and watch how Gu beat him bit by bit!"

Unknowingly, as the sun was setting, Yu Wan lost sleep and food while reading medical books.

"Cough cough!" Yu Shaoqing cleared his throat by the door.

Yu Wan rubbed her sore neck: "Daddy is here?"

"Isn't it that our family is not short of oil lamp money?" Yu Shaoqing put the big bowl in his hand on the table, lit two oil lamps, and adjusted the wick to the brightest, "Eat something first."

"Yeah." Yu Wan nodded, she was just hungry.

"It's dumplings." Yu Wan said in surprise. She didn't like pasta, but she only loved dumplings. Daddy's dumplings had thin skins, firm meat, and were delicious. Yu Wan ate three in one go. "Huh, it's hot!"

"No one is robbing you!" Yu Shaoqing scolded.

Yu Wan looked at the other bowl of dumplings and said, "Dad, you can eat it too."

"I have eaten." Yu Shaoqing said.

Yu Wan blinked in confusion: "Who is this bowl for?"

Yu Shaoqing said fiercely: "Here, for you, if you can't eat it...you can give it to that guy."

Yu Wan frowned and smiled.

Yan Jiu looked at you, my father made dumplings for you.

On the seventh day when Yan Jiuchao was lethargic, news came from the Xiao family that Fifth Master Xiao had returned to the capital, and he had found a Gu Master!
