Sure enough, as Shangguan Yu expected, less than half an hour after Shangguan Yu was injured, the Ninth Prince came to 'concern' himself.
Shangguan Yu, who had just finished drinking the medicine, stood up and saluted the Ninth Prince, but he could not kneel down.
"Why is the Ninth Prince here?" Shangguan Yu asked in confusion.
"I promise that I will protect you and your wife. But there are people in Kyoto who want to harm you. I feel deeply guilty." The Ninth Prince raised his hand to help him, and looked at Shangguan who was only wearing inner clothes.
If the position was covered, he asked: "How is the injury?"
"A little flesh wound, no problem." Shangguan Yu said calmly.
"I lost so much blood. I don't know how much ginseng I need to eat to make up for it. Why are the skin and flesh injured?" Bai Ling said angrily: "If you let me know which turtle bastard wants to kill us, he must be castrated.
You can’t kill that turtle grandson!”
Bai Ling said bitterly, and looked at the somewhat unnatural Ninth Prince, and deliberately asked: "Ninth Prince, do you think this is the truth?"
"Madam, don't be so vulgar!" Shangguan Yu suppressed his laughter and said softly.
"Someone is going to kill you. You can do such a derogatory thing, but why don't you allow me to curse a few words to relieve my anger? I don't care, as long as I can't find the evil person who wiped out my descendants, otherwise I will definitely avenge my husband!
"Bai Ling waved his fist and said.
"My wife is just too worried about my injury. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Shangguan Yu hurriedly explained to the Ninth Prince.
"It's okay, Madam Ling is a person of good temper. I have been in the military camp all year round, and I have heard even ruder words." The Ninth Prince waved his hand, indicating that he did not care about Bai Ling's attitude, and promised: "Master Duan rests in peace.
This king will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty." Shangguan Yu cupped his hand and touched the wound, making him grit his teeth in pain.
"I'm asking you to be brave, but you're obviously injured, so you can't have a good rest? If you have the ability, support me behind the scenes, and don't moan and groan in pain!" Bai Ling said unpleasant words, but softly.
He blew on Shangguan Yu's wound, hoping to relieve his pain.
The Ninth Prince watched the interaction between the couple and was infected by the atmosphere again.
But when I think about my woman, if she behaves like this in front of others... damn it! It's embarrassing, but she's also happy enough.
"Are there any unmarried sisters in the Crown Princess's family?" the Ninth Prince asked out loud, without seeming to be testing her at all.
Bai Ling looked back at the Ninth Prince strangely, leaned into Shangguan Yu's ear, and asked in a low voice: "Husband, are you sure that our sale of the black pearl to the Ninth Prince will not be wasted? He doesn't seem to be thinking very well.
, call me the Crown Princess?"
"That's Lord Ninth Prince talking to himself, not you." Shangguan Yu replied.
"That's also a disease. A normal person, who would talk to and play with me?" Bai Ling still insisted on his opinion.
"..." Shangguan Yu was speechless and looked at the Ninth Prince with a scrutinizing gaze, as if he was also doubting whether he was sick.
Being "whispered" like this by the couple in front of them, the Ninth Prince almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
When he has been practicing martial arts for many years, is it just a joke?
Can't you hear them?
"Cough!" The Ninth Prince clenched his fist, put it to his mouth and coughed, then stood up and said, "Since Mr. Duan is fine, I will take my leave and will come back soon to inform you of the outcome of the... perpetrator."
The Ninth Prince gritted his teeth and tracked himself down. He was going to have to think a lot these days.
For Black Pearl’s sake, there must be an explanation for the innocent and injured ‘Master Duan’, right?
"Madam is naughty again." Shangguan Yu said with a smile after the Ninth Prince left.
"Humph, I dare to bully you, but I can't stand a few words of criticism? I don't even have the nerve to curse even worse words!" Bai Ling refused to admit it, because she was afraid that the Ninth Prince would turn his back on him and be ruthless.
Royal people are the most unpredictable.
On other people's territory, it's better to restrain yourself a little to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother was lying on the phoenix bed, the curtains were lowered, and a red thread was pulled out.
Mr. Shang sat on the small board next to the bed, diagnosing the pulse with an unhappy look on his face.
Whoever it was, after being placed under house arrest, would not be in the mood to treat anyone.
However, Mr. Shang wanted to show off his temper and not accept the Queen Mother's illness. Unfortunately, he could not miss this opportunity, so he could only take a gamble. Maybe a good apprentice could find his traces.
"Well, the condition has improved somewhat." After checking the pulse for a long time, Mr. Shang only said this stingily.
If it were anyone else, he would definitely be held accountable by the emperor.
But Mr. Shang's medical skills were the Queen Mother's only hope, and coupled with that incident...
"If these black pearls cannot be supplied in time, the disease will recur, and more black pearls will be needed for medicinal preparations, and the quality must be better, which will be even more difficult." Mr. Shang said, stroking his beard.
"Show all the black pearls you obtained before to Mr. Shang," the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty ordered.
Not long after, the palace servants sent two boxes of black pearls.
What is contained in a box is naturally collected by the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty among the people. It comes in different sizes and shapes. Compared with the products produced by Bai Ling's Space, it is simply inferior goods that cannot be more inferior.
In the other box, there are Bai Ling's twenty pearls, each one is round and plump, and so black that it can shine.
Mr. Shang only glanced at it and determined that he got it from Bai Ling. He immediately smiled and grabbed a few to play with.
"My whole life of practicing medicine, I have used pearls as medicine more than once, but I have never seen such good black pearls. Your Majesty, may I ask where these black pearls came from? Can you give me a few so that I can develop new medicines?" Mr. Shang
His enthusiasm made people ignore what he was thinking in his heart.
The Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty put aside his doubts and said generously: "If the Queen Mother recovers and there are any leftovers, how about I give them all to Mr. Shang?"
"That's settled." Mr. Shang put down the black pearl reluctantly and muttered: "No, I have to think about it again. Maybe I can come up with a better recipe and save a few black pearls.
"
With that said, Mr. Shang walked out, looking thoughtful.
The emperor of the Western Han Dynasty did not doubt that he existed, but because of Shang Lao's words, his beard trembled with anger.
It’s not that Mr. Shang, the co-author, has no way to come up with a better prescription, he’s just too lazy to think about it.
And to treat the Queen Mother, more than a hundred black pearls were equivalent to more than one million taels of silver, and the emperor's private treasury was completely depleted.
"It is said that the Ninth Prince has entered the palace." Thinking that the black pearl must be obtained, the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty decided that he could not take action against Shangguan Yu and his wife for the time being, at least not to kill him. He could only hold back for a while and said, "I will tell all the princes and princes to enter the palace."
The emperor added that although the Queen Mother was his and the Ninth Prince's biological mother, others couldn't be left alone, right?
The Imperial Palace of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The emperor has been in pain for half an hour every day for the past few days, and every time he gets sick, he is sweating profusely from the pain.
But no news came back from Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu, and they didn't know when they would be able to return to the Eastern Han Dynasty. The emperor had no idea at all.
"Dehai, how many pills do I have left?" After the emperor bathed and changed clothes, he was still a little weak and looked at Dehai and asked.
"Your Majesty, there are thirty-six more." Dehai kept counting and naturally answered happily.
"I can't take medicine like this anymore." With Dehai's support, the emperor lay down on the dragon bed weakly. "From now on, unless I can't bear it anymore, I won't take medicine. I have to wait for them to come back, and I will definitely wait."
"But... I obey the order." Dehai wanted to persuade, but he also understood the emperor's concerns, so he agreed. (To be continued)
