Jiaochu

Two days later, when it was getting dark, a palace maid came to the Taiyuan Hospital with an anxious expression, as if something important had happened to her life.

Another imperial physician was originally on duty tonight, but this imperial physician had something to do at home, so he changed shifts with Bai Hu. Wen Ji also found an excuse to stay, in order to keep an eye on Bai Hu and prevent him from eating alone.

Seeing the palace maid running in in a hurry, Wen Ji cheered up and rushed forward to greet her. He asked diligently which palace she was from. The palace maid replied that she was serving Yu Guiren. Wen Ji immediately disappeared. With a smile on his face, he pointed to the white pot to the palace maid, patted his clothes and left, with a cold look like "it's none of my business."

The palace maid hurried to Bai Hu and said that Yu Guiren fell down and accidentally broke his head. He was now unconscious and would die if he didn't leave. She made the situation extremely critical.

When Bai Hu picked up the medicine box and left with the palace maid, Wen Ji was still making sarcastic remarks, mocking Bai Hu for his thankless work, and asking him to keep his eyes open and be careful if he bumped into a ghost on the road.

This noble man lives in Xiyuan, just across the wall from Leng Gong.

Bai Hu had never been here before, and it became deserted as he walked forward. The lights behind him gradually disappeared into the vast night. Finally, only the lantern in the hand of the palace maid was left, emitting a dim yellow light and swaying left and right on the silent palace road. For a while, Illuminating the mottled and peeling red wall on the right, and then illuminating the weeds emerging from the cracks in the wall on the left.

A strange bird call sounded in the sky, like the cry of a crow, adding an eerie and eerie tone to the dark and cold atmosphere.

"Don't be afraid, sir. It's just ahead."

Bai Hu was not afraid, he was more concerned about how to save people.

The light of the lantern swayed from side to side, casting two slender shadows on the long and gloomy palace road. The palace maid's pace quickened a little, and Bai Hu also quickened her pace.

The two rushed forward in a race against time.

After turning a corner, the palace maid took the white pot and entered a palace gate. Not much of the red paint on the door was peeled off. The wood inside had become rotten and gray after years of wind and rain. The yard was overgrown with weeds. When you enter, you can feel the desolate and decayed atmosphere. It seems that no one has lived there for a long time.

The dark night shrouded the building in front, and you could probably see a vague outline, like a palace, which was two stories high. The horned beast on the vertical ridge was still shining brightly. It was made of gold, and you could vaguely see the wealth of the past. A magnificent sight.

"Sir, come quickly, the master is inside."

The dim yellow light went towards the palace in front. The light was erratic, and the figure of the palace maid became blurred. There was no sound at all as she walked in front. If it weren't for the hem of her skirt still swinging, it would make people wonder if the other party's feet were not touching the ground. .

Bai Hu followed the light of the lantern up the corridor, turned a corner, passed through a side door, and reached the backyard. When he came out from behind the door, the light of the lantern suddenly flashed and disappeared. The surroundings were instantly enveloped in darkness, and he could not see his fingers.

Bai Hu stood there and adjusted to the change in light. Before he could lift his feet, he suddenly felt a sting on the back of his neck, and the next moment he fainted and fell to the ground.

In the bright moonlight, a silver needle pierced the back of his neck, glowing slightly coldly.

A figure stopped next to the white pot, bent down to take back the silver needle, took one of his arms, and dragged the person to the well in the backyard like a carrot.

Just as he was about to throw the person in, a black shadow passed from above, and the dark wings slid under the dark moonlight, reflecting the faint cold light.

I don't know when a figure appeared on the rockery behind me.

The figure standing by the well turned his gaze slightly, made a quick decision, and left quickly. The next day, when Bai Hu woke up, he found himself lying next to the well, with half of his arms hanging inside. He turned over and rolled down.

There was water sloshing inside, and it was not a dry well.

When he came out of the backyard, he saw the name Wutong Palace written on the plaque in front of the palace. When he went out to take a look, he saw Fengqi Palace written on the plaque above the palace gate.

It's not Xiyuan, but Leng Palace.

While going back along the palace road yesterday, Bai Hu met a young eunuch on the road and asked him where Xiyuan was. Although he almost died last night, he still did not forget his duty to save people.

The young eunuch asked him why he went to Xiyuan, and Bai Hu repeated what the palace maid said yesterday. The little eunuch said that the other party must be teasing him, as no one lived in Xiyuan for a long time.

"If you don't believe me, please take me over to have a look."

The little eunuch took Bai Hu to look at Xiyuan. It was empty, with shadows of trees, and no one except birds and beasts.

After returning to the Imperial Hospital, Wen Ji came over and glanced at the medicine box in his hand, and asked intriguingly, "What did you do last night? Did you treat Yu Guiren all night?" It seemed to imply that the two of them had done something shameful. Bai Hu's expression changed, his eyes turned cold, and he looked really angry, which gave people an invisible intimidation force.

Wen Ji left on his own.

Bai Hu first went to the medicine cabinet to grab a pair of medicine for himself. After boiling the medicine and drinking it, he checked his pulse, went to ask Dr. Han for a half-day leave, and then returned to the house. At noon, he made another medicine for himself. When he was making the medicine, his face turned a little red and he coughed twice. I don't know whether it was because of the charcoal fire or because he caught a cold last night.

Dr. Han came over to take a look, took his pulse, and asked him to go back to his room to rest in the afternoon, and then resume duty when he was well.

In the afternoon, Ling Dang came over, and Wen Ji was the first to greet him and show his attentiveness. Ling Dang asked about the white pot. Wen Ji pursed his lips and made some sarcastic remarks. Ling Dang argued a few words, and Wen Ji compensated in a sensible manner. He saluted, and then led Ling Ding to Bai Hu's residence.

As they approached the door, the two heard coughing coming from inside the house. Wen Ji quickly stopped Ling Dang and said, "Girl, please don't go in. If you get sick, it will be very serious if it spreads to your Highness." The last sentence left Ling Ding unable to refute, and Wen Ji advised her again. He stepped back a little and advised her to stay a little longer. Under Wen Ji's persistent persuasion, Lingdang couldn't say a word. She asked Wen Ji about Bai Hu's condition and then left.

After returning to Weiyang Palace, Lingdang told Ye Lingxi what she had learned.

The white pot was infected with wind and cold.

It's good that the person didn't fall into the water, she thought to herself.

Knowing that Bai Hu was still alive, Concubine Xiao was furious and blamed Lu Yu for not doing things well, which was of no use. Lu Yu did not defend herself and was willing to accept the punishment.

Concubine Xiao didn't say whether she would be punished or not. She said she would be given another chance and this time she would make sure nothing went wrong. Lu Yu advised Xiao Guifei to be patient and not be impatient. Continuous attacks can easily reveal flaws, so it is better to wait and see what happens. Moreover, the other party has no evidence and will not take risks and ruin their future.

But Concubine Xiao is still worried. Even if there is no evidence, if she says something, she still can't keep it.
