One Curtain Wind Moon Nine Heavens

Chapter 26
The autumn is cool, and with Master's generous gift, Yuan Zhao seems very peaceful in recent days.After the morning class, I went back to my hospital in the afternoon to read medical and medical books, and wrote down what I didn't understand, and asked the master when he came back.

So far, her understanding of medical science and pharmacology is only on paper.

It doesn't matter, Master said long ago that these books are for her to pass the time.A few days ago, the Taoist priest left a message saying that he went to the mountains to collect herbs, and when he came back, he asked her to identify which ones were medicinal herbs and which ones were poisonous ones.

Therefore, she has been reading very carefully these days.

I dare not be lazy about the inner strength and mental methods taught by the master. I practice at a fixed time every day, and I become more and more busy.Especially at night, after practicing weapons and internal skills, you have to go to the bookstore to copy books and practice calligraphy, and only after practicing calligraphy can you go to bathe and change clothes.

After changing clothes, I went back to the dormitory, crossed the couch, bypassed the screen, and came to a small pavilion by the window.

Yaxuan is quiet, with flickering candles.

Leaning on the railing and looking far away, you can only see a piece of verdant forest and the obstruction of the high platform and corridor in the front yard, but you can't see the fence around the mansion.

This mansion is not big, if you cut down the landscape trees in each courtyard, you can see the side at a glance.

She took a leaf-shaped wooden board carved with a bamboo forest pattern hanging on the wall, placed it on a low table near the window, and then spread it out leaf by leaf.Soon, a simple wooden biochemical diagram of the eight gates was completely placed in front of her.

This is her last homework for the day, so she doesn't need to finish it, just sleep when she is tired.

Because there are gossip directions in the picture, and the interlacing of celestial phenomena and earth phenomena recorded in the Nine Palaces, there are thousands of changes, so I haven't finished talking about it.

Usually hang on the wall, not afraid of others thinking about it.

A Niang said that it is just an ordinary eight-door drawing board, and it is useless for ordinary people to take it, because they can't understand it; the expert has pride, and it is more complicated and interesting to make by himself, so there is no need to steal children's toys.

Yuan Zhao can play because she recognizes words quickly, and A Niang taught her formulas since she was a child.

The entry-level ones are not esoteric at all, but the third brother can't understand them.

The third brother said that besides the eldest brother, she is the most proficient at playing with this toy.The second brother lasted longer than the other brothers, and now he has put it on the shelf.

Yes, A Niang treats everyone equally, her brothers and sisters have all played with her toys.

Yuan Zhao used to only move blocks according to A Niang's method. As she got older, she read more books, and often read her father's military books. Inspired, she has her own ideas and can deduce different patterns.

The game has endless variations, and she has been playing it with unabated interest until now.

As for the cricket and Liubo chess that she played when she was a child, they have been eliminated for many years, and she hasn't played them for a long time.

Unknowingly, the night became darker, with occasional breezes blowing in the yard, intertwined with the sounds of insects, faintly accompanied by waves of wheels... Huh?Yuan Zhao raised his head in a daze, where is the sound of the wheels coming from in the middle of the night?
Thinking he was hallucinating, Yuan Zhao closed his eyes and listened.The tips of Xiaoqiao's ears moved, huh?After listening for a while, it was indeed the movement from outside.

"Come on!"

A call from the room awakened the two maidservants who were dozing outside the bedroom door, and hurriedly opened the door to enter.

"What happened outside?" Yuan Zhao asked the two of them.

The two maidservants were taken aback for a moment, then looked at each other involuntarily, with their heads lowered, not daring to speak.Steward Ji has ordered that no one is allowed to talk about what happened outside in front of the princess.

"To be honest, if Uncle Ji punishes you, I can protect you; if you lie, I will punish you, but Uncle Ji can't protect you." Yuan Zhao stared at the deduction map thinking, while writing lightly.

As soon as the two maidservants heard this, they immediately poured the beans out of the bamboo tube and shook them out——

"Back to the princess, the plague was introduced from Yanshu a few days ago, and I heard that many people died in the border guards. Although the government has posted notices all over the place so that the people don't have to panic, but yesterday someone saw Governor Wu sneaking away from the east gate with his family... "

He Chun and Jin Niang, who were lying in the dark, couldn't help but roll their eyes to the sky at the same time.

Hey, these two are useless, and they will be recruited when they are scared...

It turned out that Dujun Wu's prestige had always been higher than that of Lord Hou, and his family's stewards would cheer and support him when they went out.Unlike Master Hou and the third son, they only bring one or two relatives with them when they go out.The little princess is even more outrageous, often running out alone to play wild.

Once Governor Wu left, it meant that the border epidemic might be very serious, and it would spread to Nanzhou or even Yansai at any time.

For a time, the hearts of the people were in turmoil, and even the soldiers guarding the city were in panic all day long, and their discipline was extremely loose.No, many people took advantage of the twilight market to leave, took their families and luggage and fled overnight with foreign businesses, wanting to take refuge in Yansai.

I heard that Yansai City has plans to close the city gate, if you don't go there, it will be too late.

Oh, so that's the case, Yuan Zhao understood, waved off the maid, and continued to concentrate on studying his deduction diagram.As for the plague, she wasn't worried. If the situation was critical, Uncle Ji would have moved her out of the city long ago.

Staying means the situation is still under control.

If Governor Wu really escaped, it would be a serious crime and he would be beheaded.Oh yes, I forgot that he is related to the royal family, so he shouldn't die.

Beiyue's family is different. Once the border epidemic gets out of control, she can leave, and her father and brother have to stay and live with the people.

Thinking of this, she raised her eyes and stared at the floor in front of her, her eyes thoughtful.

If she guessed right, Master was invited by Dad to the military camp to deal with the epidemic, right?What picking herbs?It was just to keep her steady.

It doesn't matter, she is not an ignorant child.

The elders have business to do, she doesn't cause trouble for everyone, just obediently attend classes at the house... Just as she was thinking, there was a sudden sound of ping-pong from the roof, and the two maidservants who had just returned to the door rushed in panicked. Come in:
"Princess, it's not good, there are assassins outside!"

"I heard it." Yuan Zhao got up calmly, stepped into the bedroom, and took his own sword from the black lacquer Lanqi (built-in weapon rack), "Stay here and don't run around."

The two maidservants leaned on each other and promised with trembling voices.

He Chun, who just came in, heard it, and couldn't help reaching out to stop her, and said with a speechless expression:

"Princess, you are the master..."

How can there be a reason why the master goes out to block the assassin, and the maid hides in the inner room? !Where did Steward Ji find these slaves?No big or small, don't know the rules.

Yuan Zhao: "..."

She understands the truth, but is too lazy to say it.

What's more, these maidservants have no kung fu at all, and they go out to give away their heads, and even block the way, so they simply go out to see what's going on.

Under He Chun's icy gaze, the two maids timidly scrambled to the door, not daring to push the door out.Yuan Zhao sighed and asked them to find a place to hide near the door, and then asked He Chun for news outside.

"Female assassin?" After hearing He Chun's description, Yuan Zhao frowned, "Could it be the one who knelt at the door a few days ago?"

"I'm not sure at the moment." He Chun said, went to the window and looked out for a few times, and found that there was no movement on the roof before he was relieved, "Okay, I was beaten out."

Even so, he couldn't take it lightly, for fear that there might be more than one visitor, He Chun had to stay here for personal protection.The opponent's skills are good, not only passed the heavy guards in the mansion, but also directly reached the dormitory where the little princess is.

Either it was a mistake, or there was an internal response, so I had to guard against it.

Soon, Jinniang came back, and He Chunlun kept watch at night.The two maidservants were taken away for interrogation, and there was nothing to say all night.
