One hundred and sixty-fourth chapter thighs and arms are destroyed, loving relatives gradually parted [3]
When Huigu arrived at the Jiafu Hall, she recognized the Queen Mother Guo and Queen Mao at a glance, except for a few young ladies. Under the guidance of the waiter, she went to the Queen Mother, Queen, and Queen Mao one by one. All the royal family members saluted.
When Hui Gu bowed and saluted Princess Cao Ling of Dongxiang, she was keenly aware of the frosty indifference in her eyes.
Queen Guo saw that the ceremony had been completed and she immediately spoke:
"Mrs. Xiahou, without further ado, I ask you to diagnose and treat His Majesty immediately."
Huigu didn't say much, she just bowed respectfully, said yes, and took out the medicine box she carried with her. She first ordered the doctor in the palace to extinguish the soothing medicinal incense in the incense burner, and then took out the Xingnao medicine box she carried. The medicinal incense was lit and burned.
Not long after, the sleeping Emperor Cao Rui smelled a cold and fragrant fragrance, and immediately woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the Queen Mother Guo, Queen Mao, and Guo Guifei who were visiting beside the imperial couch. Waiting for a group of concubines, as well as his sister, Princess Cao Ling of Dongxiang.
In addition, he also noticed Li Huigu.
Of course Cao Rui recognized Li Huigu. A few years ago, less than four years after he ascended the throne, the empress dowager Wu Xuanbian was seriously ill. It was he who sent Xia Houxuan to Langyayan, Qingzhou to invite famous doctors, and then he invited Li Hui, Hua Tuo's disciple. Aunt.
Not only that, but Xia Houxuan later refused the marriage he offered to Princess Dongxiang for Li Huigu. By coincidence, his younger sister Cao Ling happened to be in the palace today. Cao Rui thought to himself, this is really not a reunion of enemies. Head.
When Li Huigu saw that the emperor was slowly waking up, she leaned down and bowed to the emperor:
"My maid, Li Huigu, comes to see Your Majesty."
After hearing Li Huigu's words, Cao Rui put away his misty thoughts and just nodded and said:
"No need to be polite, please ask Mrs. Changlinghou to administer acupuncture and medicine to me immediately."
Hearing this, Li Huigu nodded, stood up, and took out the needle bag from the medicine box. She saw that there were a total of 4728 gold needles of different sizes and lengths in the needle bag. This was Master Shishu's. Fan A learned the acupuncture technique from his master Hua Tuo and taught it to himself. This acupuncture technique is related to the number of the twenty-eight constellations, which distinguish the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, Qinglong, Suzaku, Xuanwu and White Tiger. The changes in the four images are unique in their ingenuity.
Huigu first took out a golden needle that represented the "Xingri Horse" in the Southern Suzaku Qisu. After saying "I have trespassed", she used a clean and neat technique to pierce the golden needle into the emperor's "Daling Point". "On top of that, Huigu took out two more golden needles, the "Tail Fire Tiger" and the "Wing Fire Snake", and pierced Cao Rui's "Laogong Point" and "Waiguan Point" to remove the inner fire. above the big hole.
Cao Rui originally felt depressed and hot in his heart, but after being pricked by Huigu's three golden needles, he felt warm all over his body and a hint of coolness in his heart. He felt really comfortable.
In this way, Hui Gu used the golden needles in her hand to apply the needles to the major points on Cao Rui's head and neck, arms, legs and feet one by one. Then she washed the golden needles in the gold basin that the medical officer had prepared and put the needles one by one. He put it back into the needle bag.
At this moment, Cao Rui felt comfortable all over his body, and under the influence of the medicinal fragrance, he gradually fell into a deep sleep.
Huigu wrote another prescription and gave it to Queen Mao. She asked Queen Mao:
"I also ask Her Majesty the Queen to order the imperial physician to prepare medicine according to this recipe. Stew one medicine twice and divide the medicine into four parts. Your Majesty is ordered to take two doses of medicine every day. The remaining two medicines are ordered to be used by Your Majesty in the morning and evening to wash your hair and face. , and then bathe your feet. If you take this medicine for seven days, I believe your majesty should be fine. However, please remember not to let your majesty feel happy or sad again, otherwise it may affect the efficacy of the medicine."
Empress Mao listened to Huigu's words and asked her twice more in detail before she nodded. She copied the pharmacy into two copies, one for the empress dowager to keep and one for herself to keep. Only then did she receive the order from the imperial doctor. I went to the imperial doctor's office to cook some medicine.
After giving the emperor acupuncture, Huigu felt very tired. Empress Dowager Guo knew that Huigu was pregnant with Liujia and was unstable, so she ordered the imperial doctor to check her pulse, and then asked Huigu to take a nap in her Yongshou Palace for a while. I just arranged for a chamberlain to escort Huigu out of the palace and back to her home.
While Huigu was resting, Princess Cao Ling of Dongxiang was also accompanying Queen Mother Guo in the Yongshou Palace. She and Emperor Cao Rui were both born from the same mother as the late Queen Wen Zhaozhen, so she, like the emperor, always treated Queen Guo She only respects him on the surface, but in fact she has no real feelings. Therefore, she came to Yongshou Palace today with other plans.
In fact, her target was Huigu in the palace. Cao Ling was originally an innocent and kind-hearted girl when she was young, but after her mother died tragically, her temperament became much more surly. Later, she fell in love with her wholeheartedly. She fell in love with her cousin Xia Houxuan, who became famous at a young age, but she couldn't love him. Normally, when ordinary people encounter this, the worst thing they can do is find a lover, but Cao Ling's character is no longer as pure and kind as she was when she was a child, so today As soon as she saw Li Huigu, jealousy and nameless hatred arose in her heart.
Cao Ling has been very smart since she was a child, so naturally she has made clever arrangements for today's plan.
She remembered that Qiu Zhaoyi, the mother of her cousin Cao Lin, King of the East China Sea, who is now Princess Qiu, and a chief named Wang Yi in the Forbidden Army's Wuwei Camp. The two families were related, so Wang Yi often met. Help Concubine Qiu with some things.
She remembered that at Xiahou Xuan's mansion, his father, Xiahou Boren, the mourner of Changling, had his most beloved concubine Bi Han forced to death by Wang Yi's leaders. Back then, she thought this was too tragic, but today But she didn't think so anymore.
Yesterday afternoon, she just found out that Li Huigu was coming to the palace today to diagnose the emperor's brother. Originally, she had no deep hatred for Li Huigu, and she had no chance to vent her hatred.
But a few days ago, the palace happened to receive a dozen ferocious playful dogs as tribute. These playful dogs are a specialty of the Sushen Kingdom in the north. They are extremely ferocious when not tamed, but once tamed, they will become well-behaved and docile excellent dogs. hound.
A few days ago, those playful dogs had just been taken in by the military guard general Cao Shuang, and they were not yet tamed. Now these playful dogs were locked in the kennels south of the imperial city.
In addition, Cao Ling heard the news that Li Huigu was pregnant, and a terrible thought came into her mind.
She first went to visit Concubine Qiu, won over a small chamberlain beside Concubine Chou, and obtained the copybooks that Concubine Qiu used to practice calligraphy. She picked some words from them, pieced them together into a letter, and sent The person was delivered to Wang Yi, who was now the centurion of the Wuwei camp. Not only that, she also ordered the bribed little chamberlain to take leave and follow her the next day and obey her orders.
Concubine Qiu has long since lost power, so the leave of absence of a minor servant in her palace does not have much impact.
The letter to Wang Yi said that Concubine Qiu wanted to beg for a playful dog, and that this afternoon she would send a chamberlain who was good at dog training to pick up the dog from the palace road near the kennel in the imperial city. With Wang Yi and Wang Yi
Given the origins of Concubine Qiu's family, it is naturally not a big deal to give a Xi dog. Although the Xi dog has not yet been tamed, the letter also stated that Concubine Qiu has a servant who is good at training dogs. I believe Wang Yi will not refuse.
Cao Ling's plan was to have the little chamberlain rush to the kennel in advance when Huigu was on her way out of the palace. After he picked up the playful dog, he would wait on the only way out of the palace. Once he saw the
When Li Huigu approached, she asked the waiter to let go of the untamed playful dog!
When she thought of Li Huigu's frightened face, Cao Ling couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in her heart.
——————
In the Changling Marquis Mansion, Xia Houxuan always felt a little uneasy today. He wanted to practice calligraphy to relieve his boredom, but today he couldn't even hold the pen firmly.
After Xiahou Xuan turned around, he finally decided to go to the foot of the imperial city and wait for Huigu in person at the Yunlong Gate in the inner city. He knew that Huigu must have come out of this door and left the palace to return home.
He had made up his mind and immediately took Baique with him. He took two soldiers from Changling Marquis's Xuanjia Guards and galloped towards the Yunlong Gate outside the inner palace.
————
"Mr. Changling, although my wife is fine, she was frightened and fell to the ground... The fetus in her belly may not be safe..."
"Why is this happening! What happened!?"
At this moment, Xia Houxuan, who heard the news outside the palace gate and rushed all the way to the Imperial Medical Office, looked at his pale wife lying on the bed, pressing her lower abdomen, and he felt very painful in his heart.
In the Imperial Medical Office, there was a person standing nearby who was bent over and shivering. The chamberlain who was responsible for escorting Gu Hui out of the palace said with trembling voice:
"Originally, everything was fine along the way. But for some reason...for some reason, when we arrived at the main road near Lingyuntai in the south of the imperial city, a dog jumped out of nowhere...it was supposed to be locked up in the dog house.
There was a playful dog in the house called Shen Shen. The playful dog was tall and mighty. Madam Changling Hou suddenly saw this vicious dog and was greatly frightened. Therefore...therefore she may have had fetal motility.
....."
After hearing this, Xia Houxuan was furious and said in a cold voice:
"Where is the hipster now?"
When the chamberlain heard Xiahou Xuan's fierce and domineering questioning, he trembled subconsciously. He trembled like chaff and said:
"Right... not far outside the door, and that, and that... the little butler who accidentally got away from the playful dog..."
Before the servant finished speaking, Xia Houxuan flew out of the gate of the Imperial Medical Office like a gust of white wind.
All of a sudden, there was a short hissing sound from outside the house, and the sound of falling to the ground with a thump. Then, the voice of the waiter crying and begging for mercy came from outside the house:
"Mr. Marquis of Changling...Mr. Hou, I have realized my mistake. This...this, this is all what Princess Dongxiang ordered me to do. Princess Dongxiang is a relative of the emperor, Jin...
....Golden branches and jade leaves, you can’t afford to offend the little one..."
Xia Houxuan looked coldly at the young chamberlain who was crying and hissing, put the precious sword stained with the blood of the playful dog on his neck, and asked coldly:
"How did you release the playful dogs in the palace?!"
The little waiter was sitting next to the decapitated body of the dog that was covered in blood. He was so frightened that he did not dare to tell a lie. He continued like pouring beans through a bamboo tube:
"It's Wu... Wuweiying, Centurion, King... Wang Yi..."
When Xia Houxuan heard the word "Wang Yi", the fierce light in his eyes suddenly became fierce. He held the quality sword tightly in his hand, rubbed it twice on the playful dog, and wiped the blood on the knife clean.
, sheathed the sword with a clatter. He continued to say coldly:
"Wait for me here. If you dare to move even half a step, be careful of my ruthless sword!"
After saying that, Xia Houxuan arrived at the Imperial Medical Office. He leaned down and grabbed Huigu's hands and said:
"Huigu, if anything happens, just tell the two Xuanjia guards here that your husband will come back as soon as he leaves. We will go home later!"
Hui Gu felt sad at the moment. She nodded with tears in her eyes and said in a trembling voice:
"Husband, be careful in everything, don't act on impulse..."
Xia Houxuan smiled warmly, nodded, then turned around and left the Imperial Medical Office. He picked up the little eunuch with his left hand and walked towards the direction of the Imperial City Military Guard Camp.
