Chapter 133: Poisonous Piluo Pavilion

"What! Do I want me to poison the medicine?"

Wu Yulin stood up suddenly. He grabbed the table tightly and stared at Li Qing, as if he was watching an evil ghost crawling out of hell, saying word by word: "Do you know where you are talking? This is Nanzhao, but you want me to poison their king."

He suddenly opened the door and pointed to the dark night sky, "Just pretend I didn't hear anything, go!"

Li Qing was not angry or excited. Wu Yulin's fierce reaction was as expected, and he stepped forward and closed the door.

"Come on! Sit down and talk."

Li Qing pressed Wu Yulin's stiff body on the chair and smiled gently, "Talk about it, we are also destined to meet in Nanzhao. A few days ago, I received a letter from Neizi. She heard that I had been to Yibin County and asked me if I had seen the famous Wu doctor who "money is a passing cloud". Thinking about the days in Yibin County, it is really nostalgic!"

Speaking of hometown, Wu Yulin's face slowly calmed down. Seeing that Li Qing stopped mentioning what had happened just now, the tense string in his heart suddenly relaxed. He also sighed: "Yes! I miss the days in my hometown very much, especially my son. I have only been out for more than a month, as if many years have passed."

Li Qing walked behind him, patted his shoulder gently, and found that his muscles had relaxed, so he smiled faintly: "Your son is Wu Hua! He is so tall, only ten years old, and he looks like a fifteen-year-old boy."

Li Qing spoke plainly, but when Wu Yulin heard it, it seemed like a thunder thunder rolling in his ears, and a cold air rose from his heart. He widened his eyes in disbelief and said with a stammering look: "My son is in your hands?"

Li Qing raised his face, glanced at him sideways, and said coldly: "Not only your son, your wife and concubines are all in my hands. Just do as I say just now, and I guarantee that they are safe and sound. Otherwise, they will bear the charges for the conviction of the country."

Wu Yulin was not a straightforward person. His anger had subsided and was caught by Li Jue again. His body immediately stopped and murmured for a long time: "I am just a doctor. Yu Chengjie brought me to Nanzhao to cure diseases and save people. What does it have to do with treason?"

Li Qing sneered and said disdainfully: "Do you really think Yu Chengjie recommends you to the palace to cure diseases and save people? Don't be stupid. Only by cooperating with me can you not be silenced."

Wu Yulin was stunned and slowly shook his head, "I don't believe it. They are father and son, how could they do such a thing to destroy human relations?" He looked up at Li Qing and said, "This is just your guess. There is no real evidence. How can you make me believe it."

Li Qing looked at him pity, took out a gold medal from his arms and threw it in front of him, "Look at this, this is what Yu Chengjie gave me. Do you know it?"

Wu Yulin trembled and touched the gold medal, but only halfway through, and he took his hand back. No need to look at it. He knew this gold medal. This was the passive gold medal that entered the palace. Only this kind of gold medal would not be inquired and unobstructed. There were only four pieces in the entire Nanzhao, and it was held by the four sons of Piluo Pavilion. The word "2" was marked in front of him, which was Yu Chengjie's gold medal.

"If you bring this gold medal with you, it will save your life if you fail."

Wu Yulin believed it now. He pulled his hair hard. After a while, he said hoarsely: "I have never done such a thing before, and I really don't dare."

Li Qing pushed the gold medal in front of him, with a cold smile in his eyes, "It's okay, think about your wife and children, you have the courage,"

Wu Yulin's teeth chewed and said hatefully: "You are despicable!"

"Not bad! I'm despicable." Li Qing raised his eyes and a cold light pierced his heart. "I tell you the truth that the Tubo mission was killed by me, and I also used despicable means. But my despicableness is not for myself, but for our country, for the interests of the Tang Dynasty, and for the sake of thousands of people not suffering from war. What's the point of dying a Piluoge? What's the point of being despicable? Besides, you are greedy for wealth and honor to come to Nanzhao, who's going to blame for this!"

The threat and temptation were so powerful that Wu Yulin was like a passenger on a sunken ship. He either sank with the ship or jumped into the ship to survive. He had no other choice. He seemed to see his son slipping into the water and was calling for help to him. In the end, he surrendered.

"Okay! I promise you, but you must guarantee that I will leave Nanzhao alive."

Li Qingzheng nodded, "As long as you do what I said, I will not only guarantee that you can leave Nanzhao, but also after the matter is completed, the court will reward you with a large amount of money to change your household registration and allow you to live a safe and safe life."

As he said that, he whispered to him about his own method. Wu Yulin nodded repeatedly, and his eyes gradually shone.

The next day, it was light and there was a little chill. The wind hit the mountain road, slashing the faces of passers-by. There were few pedestrians on the street, which seemed a little deserted. However, outside the north gate of Taihe City, there were crowds of people, and the air was filled with farewell. The middle of next month was the 60th birthday of Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty. In order to catch up with the celebration, the Tang Dynasty delegation decided to leave Nanzhao early. Ge Luofeng and Yu Chengjie came to see him off on behalf of the King of Nanzhao Piluoge.

The first group of people who left included the commander Wei Jian, the sick Chen Xilie, and a large number of civil servants who accompanied the regiment. In order to prevent the Tubo tragedy from happening again, the Nanzhao army personally escorted them to the territory of the Tang Dynasty and handed them over to the Tang army who came to pick them up. The second group of people who left were some aftermath officials, mainly handling the inventory and handover of the materials rewarded by the Tang Dynasty to Nanzhao, and the escort of Guoyi Li Qing led 300 Tang troops to escort.

Just as the Tang Dynasty mission left Taihe City, a carriage drove in front of the palace. Wu Yulin's mind was in chaos. He was a little absent-minded and even put on his hat. After getting off the carriage, Wu Yulin walked into the Nanzhao Palace with deep and shallow feet. He almost didn't fall asleep overnight, his eyes were red, and he repeatedly told him to calm down, for fear that he would die in Nanzhao if he was negligent.

Through the shirt clip, Wu Yulin tightly held a small paper bag with his palms wet. He kept applying the cold sweat on his hands on the shirt clip, for fear that the paper bag would get wet and break. There was some medicine powder in the paper bag. This was the medicine he prepared for Piluoge's condition. It was not a poison, but it could cause and aggravate the original toxicity in the body. This was the safest way, otherwise he would not be able to pass the test of the medicine at all.

"Poisonous kill Piluoge!" He took a long breath. When he thought of this task, his heart seemed to jump out of his chest, but his legs were as soft as mud.

"Doctor Witch, please show your token."

Two halberds and armored soldiers outside the palace blocked his way. Although they knew each other, the tokens entering and leaving the palace gate must be presented to prevent them from being separated and being used by people with bad intentions. The long halberd with a cold light appeared in front of them, which was much more effective than the cold wind in the morning. Wu Yulin was shocked and his thoughts became clear immediately. He took the token from his waist in a panic and handed it over with a smile.

The soldier took the token, carefully confirmed the number on it, and then registered a note on the palace list. Then he returned the token to him and said with a pleasant smile: "Just just now, the queen sent someone to ask if the Chief Witch Doctor has come. I'm afraid that the Chief Witch Doctor Witch will be rewarded again today."

Wu Yulin forced a smile, "If you get your favor, if you really have a reward, you will definitely not forget your benefits."

As he said that, he took back the token, but felt that there seemed to be a scroll of paper under the token. Wu Yulin's heart beat wildly, his lips were dry, and he swallowed with difficulty. The soldier still smiled very respectfully, but in his opinion, the smile had completely changed.

Like the country of Nanzhao, the palace in Nanzhao is also very small. The biggest feature is that it has many rooms and complex structures. There is a bend here and a corridor there, making people unable to distinguish between the east, south, west and north. Wu Yulin was panicked and walked through several corridors and came to a secluded place. When he opened the scroll of paper, there were only five words inside, "Be careful of Doctor Luo!"

Physician Luo was the former chief of the palace. He was about fifty years old. He looked reunited with a face. He had been a medical practitioner for 30 years and had always been the chief imperial physician of the Nanzhao royal family. The Nanzhao royal family was pampered and healthy. All he did in the palace was a nurse. He usually dealt with headaches, fever, colds, etc. It was easy to deal with. Therefore, his current medical skills are not much different from those thirty years ago. However, in terms of mental skills, he was already perfect. He was given various reasons, either to be hit or excluded, and threw them to the countryside to be a barefoot doctor, and talked to the old countryside about the function of the horsetail with old farmers.

But paper can't keep the fire in it. The illness of Piluoge is getting worse and worse. Doctor Luo can no longer deal with the natural aging of the human body. Piluoge is only fifty, but he himself is fifty and has a fat body. How can this be reasonable? Just as Doctor Luo is desperately looking for a scapegoat, Wu Yulin, a Han doctor, came. A bold plan was formed in Doctor Luo's mind. He let Wu Yulin treat it. Well, he has the ability to recognize people. If it is broken, it is the fault of the second prince. He can say that he was sure to cure the king's disease, but this person ruined the big thing.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yulin successfully controlled the disease of Piluoge. Not only did he not know the credit for his role as a doctor, he was erased from his position as a doctor, and he could not steal a handful of rice. How could he be content with this?

At this moment, Doctor Luo was crying to Queen Nanzhao about his inner pain. Bingzi's face looked extremely sad. Her eyes were already full of tears, and she showed endless grievances.

"Queen, the old minister is the most familiar with His Highness, but his highness has accumulated over decades of wars in the north and south. The old minister has actually found the king's pulse, but the illness is like a thread being drawn, and he has to be recuperated slowly. Doctor Wu has just used strong medicine. Although it works quickly, it is a waste of your highness's life. Of course, the old minister will do it, just thinking about His Highness's kindness and cannot bear to use it indiscriminately. Unexpectedly, the queen thought that the old minister's medical skills were not as good as Doctor Wu's. I was really heartbroken. Thirty years of loyalty have ended up like this. The old minister is now completely disappointed and wants to resign and return to his hometown to retire. Please ask the queen for approval."

Piluoge has three wives one after another, all of whom were the sisters or daughters of the major emperors of Nanzhao. The current queen is the daughter of Shi Langzhao Shi Cangwang, named Yi Nan. Queen Yi Nan's ears were extremely soft. Although she knew very well that the facts were not the case, the tears and resignation of the Imperial Doctor Luo made her difficult. After a long time, she said helplessly: "It is actually the king's intention to let Doctor Wu be the chief of the doctor. I am just conveying it on my behalf. Now that things have come to this, how do you want me to help you?"

"The old minister doesn't care about the position of the doctor. The old minister just wants to prove that I can cure the king's illness. Please give me another chance today."

Queen Yi Nan hesitated and said, "But today is the most critical time for Doctor Wu to treat the king, so why not talk about it tomorrow."

Doctor Luo was waiting for today. If he could seize this opportunity today, even if he cured the disease of Piluoge, he kowtowed and cried: "The old minister has been treating the royal family for thirty years, but the queen doesn't believe me. Instead, she believes in the Han people who have only been here for a month. Queen, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little grievance, but this makes the old man in the palace feel sad!"

Queen Yi Nan was so hard that she could not stand his tears, so she had to say, "Okay! Just this time, if it still doesn't work, then don't blame me."

Piluoge had been suffering from illness for many years, so he specially built a pharmacy outside the bedroom. There were all kinds of medicines in it, and the decoction was also in the pharmacy. The ancients were very particular about decoction, and they were always decoctioned. They had the saying of decoction of five parts, so they all learned about soaking, heat, and water. Therefore, every doctor had his own decoction room to prevent others from learning secretly.

An hour later, the medicines of Doctor Wu and Doctor Luo were boiled and placed in the pharmacy. After the medicine boy was brought into the bedroom, the eunuch would then be tested by the eunuch, and finally the Piluo Pavilion was taken.

The two stood side by side at the door of the pharmacy, watching the medicine boy send the medicine into the hall. The one who sent it in first was Doctor Luo's medicine. When Doctor Luo was holding the plate holding the medicine bowl, he blinked intentionally or unintentionally. When Doctor Luo saw it, a trace of undetectable pride flashed in his eyes.

It was not poisonous. The eunuch passed the test of the medicine. The maid fed Piluoge with a small spoon and drank it. Piluoge seemed to think the medicine was bitter and refused to drink it. Queen Yi Nan tried to persuade him to take it.

Another moment later, it was Physician Wu's medicine. Wu Yulin's heart was so nervous that it was about to jump out. The medicine powder had been mixed in, colorless and non-toxic, but it smelled like garlic. It took three hours to drink it after Piluoge to show the effect that Li Qing expected. But he was guilty and always felt that the silver needle of the servant would turn black. The medicine boy passed by them again with a plate. Wu Yulin's eyes were staring at the medicine bowl, and sweat beads flowed down his forehead. When Doctor Luo saw it, he suddenly smiled coldly, "Phone Wu, you are so nervous, is there something wrong with this medicine?"

After saying that, he strode towards the medicine bowl. Wu Yulin was so shocked that his hands and feet were cold. Seeing that Doctor Luo was about to pick up the medicine bowl, a burst of blood rushed to his forehead. He no longer cared about the consequences. He rushed forward in two steps and knocked the medicine bowl over with one palm. The medicine sprinkled all over the floor. He was stunned. There was no smell of garlic in the bowl of medicine. He turned around suddenly and saw Doctor Luo smiling with a grim face. Wu Yulin immediately understood that the medicine had been replaced.

"Doctor Wu, what do you mean? He actually knocked over the medicine bowl. Did you put something in the medicine?"

Seeing that the potion had penetrated into the cracks of the rock, Doctor Luo shouted in a hurry, "Come on! Come and take a dog."

Sudden changes made the front of the palace chaotic. Soon, someone led a dog. When the dog added the remaining potion on the ground, it quickly fell to the ground and frothed, foamed at the mouth, and bleeding from his eyes and nose.

"Queen, I'm right! This Imperial Doctor Wu is ill-hearted and wants to murder the king."

Doctor Luo was filled with righteous indignation. He shouted and looked around, "Huh! Where is the person?" but found that Wu Yulin was gone.

Wu Yulin fled out of the palace in panic, and was extremely scared. He used the gold medal of Chengjie all the way and passed four passes. He saw the palace gate in front of him. At this time, there was a shout from behind, "Catch him! Don't let him run away."

Several guards guarding the palace gate blocked his way. There were guards blocking the road in front and pursuers rushed over. Wu Yulin was completely indifferent and stood there waiting to die. But at this moment, a very tall gray shadow flew off the beam on the hall. He grabbed Wu Yulin's waist, swung straight and swayed, and jumped out of the palace's high wall with the power of a big tree.
