Practicing Medicine in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 110 Trust

The carriage drove briskly all the way back to Taiping Temple, but Wu Yi couldn't feel more relaxed.

The purpose of Zhang Wenguan and his son's move is very obvious, which is to use his mouth to tell the fact that the Queen of Heaven killed the senior ministers in the past, and then deal the last heavy blow to this increasingly full-fledged woman.

Today's Queen of Heaven is no longer the precarious and isolated high-ranking woman. She has already infiltrated her capable confidantes into the core power positions of the three provinces and six ministries. Among the current prime ministers, Pei Yan and Xue Yuanchao are both her confidantes. With the full support of these two people, it would not be as simple as it was back then if she wanted to shake her current status.

Naturally, the crown prince's team is also extremely stable, with veteran ministers like Liu Rengui and Zhang Wenguan sitting in charge, it is enough to be evenly divided with the Queen of Heaven.

For the Holy Majesty, today's court is like a scale in a vegetable market. His son is on the left and his wife is on the right. The power of the two is maintained on a delicate balance, and neither side will be overturned. .

His mind has been eroded by illness, his eyes have lost their former brilliance, and even his trembling hands can no longer hold the vermilion pen for correcting memorials, but his mind is still as clear and insightful as when he was young.

He is very clear that although he himself has been suffering from chronic illnesses, as long as the scale is still firmly in his hands, it can become his right-hand man and the two indispensable forces for him to maintain this precarious country.

This is undoubtedly the most stable and best situation right now.

But people on both sides of the line don't think so.

No one is reconciled to wasting their lives with the opposite person like this.

Especially the East Palace Yidang, although the crown prince is still very young, but the important ministers around him are all old people in their twilight years. If time is used to compete with the Queen's Party, then they are already at a faint disadvantage.

Undoubtedly, there is only one reason why Zhang Wenguan forbears not to speak out for several years, and throws out his last move at this moment.

time does not wait.

His disease did not allow him to wait any longer.

It was too late for him to wait for the next opportunity when the balance would tilt.

This is the last fight against the Queen of Heaven in his old and sickly life, a game in exchange for betting all his reputation and the remaining years.

And Wu Yi was the first chess piece he dropped.

-

The sound of horseshoes stepping on the stone slab was powerful, like a heavy drumbeat, beating heavily in Wu Yi's heart.

Zhang Yi's attitude is already obvious. If he testifies, Zhang Wenguan will try his best to keep him safe. If he refuses to cooperate with the Zhang family, then what awaits him is prison.

Just as he bowed his head in thought, the carriage had slowly stopped at the gate of Taiping Temple.

The wet nurse who was waiting at the door had long been stretching her neck and looking around, seeing Taiping lightly jumping off the carriage holding the corner of her skirt, she let go of the heart hanging in her throat.

"My little ancestor, you are really frightening me to death. Just now when someone came to ask me about it, it was Dr. Shen who fooled me by saying that you were reciting the book quietly. Otherwise, my old life would have ended here! "

Taiping didn't care about it: "Didn't mother send someone here every three days? Why did you come here suddenly today?"

The nurse held her in her arms, fearing that she was missing arms and legs, and inspected her carefully, and saw that there was no trace of bumps on her body, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "This is not the usual father-in-law. , but General Pei Yuan, for some reason, suddenly asked about Imperial Physician Wu."

Li Jing's eyebrows twitched involuntarily: "What did Little General Pei ask?"

The nurse said: "It's nothing, I just took a look and saw that Mr. Wu was not in the yard, so I asked where I went. I said I went to Zhang Wenguan's Zhang Gongfu, and he didn't ask any more questions."

After finishing speaking, he took Taiping's hand, half pushed and half moved, and coaxed him to sleep.

As soon as Taiping left, the master and apprentice exchanged a glance, and walked into the wing where Wu Yi usually slept.

After the dim lights were lit, Li Jing finally removed the faint smile on his face and turned into a heavy expression.

"Master, Zhang Wenguan invited you over today, what exactly is it for?"

Wu Yi couldn't help but gave a wry smile, and then he fully explained what happened in Zhang's mansion today.

He didn't want to drag Li Jing into the vortex of this matter, but now that Pei Yuan has noticed this matter, there is absolutely no possibility of hiding it from the Queen of Heaven. If Li Jing wants to know about this matter, it is nothing more than Sooner or later.

Moreover, his own ability alone is not enough to resolve the smoldering flames of war between the two parties.

"In this way, General Zhenwu didn't die of illness at the time, but because of Zhang Qiren's bone-seeking medicinal wine and the acute poison of Tripterygium vine, he died suddenly on the bed?"

Li Jing has studied medicine for several years, and he is naturally proficient in it. Tripterygium wilfordii is already highly toxic, and when added to the bone-seeking wind, it is better than arsenic.

But Xun Gu Feng was soaked in the medicinal wine, no one paid attention to the amount in it, the drug became poisonous after a long time, it was hard to guard against.

Such an insidious and vicious method really makes people feel chills down the spine.

Wu Yi looked at the scorching and dancing flames, his eyes were full of light and darkness: "Dr. Brother Xu Rong died in the battle of buying Xiaocheng, I'm afraid they won't find me."

Li Jing couldn't help sneering: "Zhang Qiren has no sons or daughters, and all his apprentices have been expelled from Chang'an. The only thing they can think of is you."

"Master..." His voice sank suddenly, and his eyes were burning, "Aren't you afraid that I will report to the Queen of Heaven when you tell me these things? If the Queen of Heaven knows about this and wants to kill you..."

Wu Yi didn't expect him to ask such a question, as if he had taken a step in his heart, he immediately stabilized his mind, and returned with a calm look: "The Queen of Heaven has many eyes and ears, even if I don't tell you, she has other ways to know, let alone..."

Wu Yi looked back at him with a calm but firm expression: "If I can't even trust you, who else can I trust in this world?"

Li Jing couldn't help being startled, as if honey water had slipped out of his heart, a hint of sweetness spread out.

Wu Yi's mind is like a handful of clean and spotless water, anyone can see through it at a glance, but it seems that anyone's shadow can only float on the surface and not fall into his heart.

He has been chasing his back hard, from the peaceful hometown to the imperial capital where power disputes, from the war-torn front line to the crisis-ridden Yuzhou, wherever he went, he followed wherever he went, and never missed a step.

He once thought that he could only be by his side for the rest of his life, and made an oath never to leave him.

Now his simple "trust" seems to let him catch the moon in the water, pick the flowers in the sky, even if he walks on the thorns and licks the blood with the head of a knife, he is still happy.

"Master..." He couldn't help but his eyes welled up, and there seemed to be thousands of words in his heart, but it seemed that none of them could match the light but firm "trust" from the other party.

Between them, these two words are enough, what else is needed?

Looking at Li Jing's moist and deep eyes, Wu Yi couldn't help but feel his heart warm.

From Yuanzhou's walking together, to Chang'an's mutual support, to Silla's life-and-death embrace, and Yuzhou's desperate rescue, the young boy in front of him has already accompanied him through every difficulty in life and has become an integral part of his life.

He has always been a person who doesn't want to show his emotions, and he seldom expresses trust directly, but his heart is not made of grass and trees, so how can he treat this person's affection as nothing?

This time, I am afraid that he is close to death. If he doesn't say it again, maybe he will never have another chance in the future.

The eyes of the two passed inadvertently under the dim light, like a gust of warm summer wind, brushing each other's cheeks slightly red.

"Cough." Wu Yi cleared his throat and brought the topic down to business, "You're right, if Tianhou finds out about this, the best way is to kill me to silence it, since General Pei has already understood this matter , even if you think about it, you can’t hide it from the Empress Dowager.”

Hearing these words, Li Jing's fiery heart seemed to be immersed in a cold pool suddenly, and he couldn't help but feel a biting chill.

So the words that came out couldn't help but be a bit cold: "I'll see who dares to kill you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door.

Li Jing subconsciously put his hand on the sword at his waist, and slowly drew it out three inches.

A cold light flashed down, reflecting a three-point cold murderous aura.

Wu Yihe had seen Li Jing's murderous look before, he couldn't help being shocked, but he quickly calmed down, winked at Li Jing, and signaled him to hide on the bed.

Then he lazily replied out of the window: "Who is it, it's in the middle of the night."

A smiling voice came from outside the door: "It's me, Zhou Xing, Mr. Wu hasn't slept yet, has he?"

As he spoke, he pushed open the door and entered.

When he entered, Wu Yi was the only one left in the room, and he was holding up a medical scripture to study carefully, as if he was interrupting his reading, he frowned deeply: "What's important for Duke Zhou? To visit the mean land?"

Now that Zhou Xing has become a minister, his power is far greater than that in Dali Temple, but he still maintains a humble and gentle face, wearing a plain ivory robe, stepping into the door, like a ray of light that shines in deeply. Bright moonlight.

But his eyeballs rolled around. Seeing that there was no one else, he closed the door and said in a low voice, "I just came here because I knew that Mr. Wu went to a place he shouldn't go today and met someone he shouldn't see." People, also know some things that should not be known."

Wu Yi put down the scroll in his hand, and was surprised: "Xiaguan Zuo just obeyed Chen Jiwen's imperial physician's order and prescribed prescriptions for Mr. Zhang. Is there something wrong? Please tell Mr. Zhou clearly."

"The purpose of seeing a doctor and prescribing is to save lives, but turning medicine into poison is probably for the purpose of killing people." Zhou Xing smiled kindly, no different from a few years ago, "Mr. Understand this truth."

The smile on Wu Yi's face faded: "Naturally, the difference between medicine and poison is just a thought."

Zhou Xing also nodded: "It's just like life and death, it's just a difference between the master's thoughts."

Wu Yi's heart moved, but his expression was still calm: "Oh, so, Zhou Gong has a way to save Wu?"

Zhou Xing smiled and shook his head: "The person who wants to save you is not me, but Tianhou."
