"Oh, slow down! My old bones are rusty from idleness, how can I stand your rushing!"

Gong Sheng had just returned from the north, exhausted and dusty, and had just entered the city. Before he had even had time to drink a sip of water, Yun Cheng grabbed him and rushed towards him.

There was a violent shake immediately and my coccyx started to ache slightly.

"Hurry up! Do you think this is an invitation to tea? My master has been unconscious for two days, how can I not be anxious!"

The more urgent Yun Cheng's voice became, the lower his tone became.

After all, it is not a good thing, and it cannot be spread throughout the city.

Two days ago, Gong Sheng wrote to say that he met You Beiren who was training horses on the way. In order not to alert the enemy, he just picked more herbs and passed the meeting over.

As soon as You Beiren left, Gong Sheng felt that the time was about right and that the boy might not be able to hold on any longer, so he rushed back day and night.

As the saying goes, a doctor is like a loving parent. Once you save a person, you should save him/her until the end, right?
"I was only concerned about Zhao Hou's life, otherwise he wouldn't be unable to even drink a sip of water!" Gong Sheng gasped for breath, his legs sore as he held on to the door.

Yun Cheng was so anxious that he didn't even care that he was still catching his breath. He secretly complained about how this man, a doctor, could have such a poor physical condition.

A cup of warm water was suddenly stuffed into Gong Sheng's hands from behind.

He was startled, jumped up and looked back, frowned, closed his eyes and covered his chest, "Oh, I was scared to death, I thought it was Zhao Hou's soul coming back, it turned out to be you, little princess."

The hand that A'an was handing over the cup with suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Yun Cheng was also startled. He quickly walked up from behind Gong Sheng and covered his mouth.

How come the world has changed so drastically in just a few days?

Ah'an thought over and over again about everything she had done recently.

At this moment when he was doubting his life, Yun Cheng quickly pulled Gong Sheng into the room and nodded to A'ao.

Ah'ang looked around and found that the sea was calm.

Several people walked in cautiously before daring to speak loudly.

When Gong Sheng arrived, Ah'ao was leading Wei Guohui and his followers to the parade ground, so she had not seen him in person.

Later I wrote to ask, which was also written contact, and today was our first meeting.

But the more Ah'ao looked at Gong Sheng's face, the more she felt like she had seen it before.

Seeing the person tilting her head in a daze, Gong Sheng laughed and pointed at her with his fingertips in the air. He said nothing, but it seemed like he had said everything.

I remembered!

A light bulb suddenly lit up in her head, and Ah'ao suddenly thought of a long time ago, so long ago that she was still living in the Shangshu Mansion.

Huai Chengbai liked to make friends widely, and those who could tolerate his temper became his friends. Those who couldn't tolerate his temper either went their separate ways or became his enemies.

This Gong Sheng was one of those people who got to know each other through fighting and eventually became drinking buddies.

According to Huai Chengbai, he looked much more haggard because of teaching painting to Ah'ao, such an incompetent apprentice.

So I bought some wolfberries, ginseng and other things, and went to the wine house to get some wine.

Gong Sheng also came by to buy wine and found that Huai Chengbai mixed the herbs without caring about their medicinal properties and put them all into the wine, so he hurried over to stop him.

The result was obvious: they started arguing over this matter.

The argument attracted many people around, and Huai Chengbai said that it was just some pharmacology and medicinal properties, and there was no point in competing.

Gong Sheng actually agreed to this childish and aggressive behavior.

He has studied medicine for twenty years, so it’s impossible for him to suffer any loss, right?
Of course, Huai Chengbai was a little arrogant and wanted to take advantage of him, but he accidentally bumped into a tree trunk and lost miserably.

Gong Sheng laughed and took advantage of his position to prescribe a new prescription for him based on Huai Chengbai's advice, and also told him not to waste any more wine.

Huai Chengbai also felt that the food was to his liking, so he asked Gong Sheng to treat him to a drink.

The matter had developed to the point where the "five-colored horse and fur coat worth a thousand gold pieces" was involved. Ah'ao received a letter from the shop owner and quickly brought people to look for him.

"Hey, who is this little girl?" Gong Sheng narrowed his eyes and found a little girl in an apricot flower skirt standing in front of him. She was more beautiful than the flowers. "Brother Huai, you have such a beautiful daughter?"

Huai Chengbai was drunk and silent, but when he heard this, he squinted his eyes and looked at him.

Oh, she is not a daughter at all, she is a useless apprentice.

"No, no, I don't have such luck." Huai Chengbai pointed at Ah-yi and said with a smile, "Being this girl's father will shorten my life, right? This is my student."

At that time, Gong Sheng thought that Huai Chengbai's talk about shortening one's lifespan was about being angry, and he laughed happily twice.

The next moment, Ah'ao, with her white teeth and bright eyes, picked up the wine jug on the table and took a big gulp.

This situation suddenly changed from the drama in front of the flower-picking gate to the past as fast as a shooting star.

"Wow." The little girl is really good. I admire her with new eyes.

"Carry these two drunkards back to the Shangshu Mansion." His face suddenly darkened, but when he turned around to talk to the proprietress, his face suddenly brightened up, "Thank you for the trouble. Please put it on Mr. Huai's account."

Huai Chengbai: ...

You see, I told you it would shorten your lifespan, you can’t afford it.

When Gong Sheng sobered up the next day, he found out that this was the emperor's only daughter, Princess Yuanning.

At that time, he was neither granted the title of Xuancheng nor received any favors from his father.

Originally, Yuanning was the name bestowed on A'ao by Emperor Wu'an, and it was thus unclearly called a title.

Even after not seeing each other for many years, this princess who was as heroic as clouds and loved drinking still shines brightly in Gong Sheng's impression.

"Do you remember now?" Gong Sheng stroked his beard, his face showing some traces of the vicissitudes of life. "Have you forgotten the little toy I gave to the princess?"

Ah'ao thought of her own embarrassing incident and turned her head away embarrassedly.

"Of course I remembered it. It was you. But I escaped in a hurry and didn't take the little gourd with me."

Gong Sheng waved his hands, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll first check on your husband to see if he's alive or dead, and then we can catch up on the past."

Ah-yi nodded and followed him, with a smile still in her eyes and a curled lip.

Meeting an old friend in a foreign place is not a sad thing.

The medicinal ingredients that Gong Sheng brought back from his trip to the north were flowers and plants that looked completely different from the Immortality Wood.

It was carefully taken out from the cloth backpack, with a palm-sized flower pot at the bottom.

"What is this?" A'ao asked curiously.

It turns out that medical practitioners are so rigorous. In order to prevent the herbs from dying, it seems that they spent a lot of time on the road. "This is instant grass, a poisonous plant that also grows in Youbei. The poisoned person will die instantly, hence the name." Gong Sheng put the flower pot on the table and plucked a few leaves neatly.

"These two extremely poisonous substances counteract each other and offset each other's medicinal properties, so people can survive."

Ah-yi looked behind the bed curtains and saw the pale-faced Heng-chi. She was a little worried. "After the discount, there will be no more sequelae, right?"

Gong Sheng nodded with satisfaction, "The princess is still the smart princess. There are side effects, but they are not a big problem. After taking the instant grass, the poisonous blood will be discharged from the body naturally. After vomiting blood for two days, it will be fine."

"Is he going to vomit blood again?" Even though she knew that the poisonous blood must be discharged, Ah Yi still couldn't bear it. "Before Mr. Gong came, he had already bled for several days. Can a person bear this kind of blood loss?"

Tsk tsk! Gong Sheng paused and looked at the princess in front of him, who had now grown into a bright moon-like pearl.

She was born with a fair complexion, but her long eyebrows, like the green mountains, tightened as she concentrated on thinking, and she looked a little melancholy.

"Young people, it's natural for them to be deeply in love!" Gong Sheng looked at A'ao kindly, as if he understood everything. "If your husband knew, he would probably be happy too."

Yun Cheng even laughed secretly on the side.

Looking back at Gong Sheng, he was even more happy to see her having fun, without any restraint.

After hesitating for a long time, Ah-yi had to change the subject, "Sir, you have been traveling for many years. Have you ever seen him?"

Then he sighed again, "Forget it, he left without any news to me. The world is so big, let him wander around."

After Gong Sheng examined Hengzhi's pulse, he praised him a few words.

It's nothing more than saying something like, thanks to years of martial arts training, his foundation is solid, his pulse is stable and so on.

I said this specifically for Ah'ao because of the concern she showed me.

Then he dragged Yun Cheng to the kitchen to boil medicine. The two of them made eye contact and ran away faster than a mouse.

My legs are no longer sore and I’m no longer out of breath.

Ah's right hand had been aching for several days, and she hadn't had time to tell him just now, so she wanted to follow Gong Sheng to ask him to see if it was sprained.

Business has been extremely busy in recent days. Even for happy events like birthday celebrations that don't require anyone to organize, many people are willing to pay a high price to buy a lucky draw and ask for a pair of couplets to be written by the wife of the Marquis.

Perhaps it was because he had been writing for too long and was already tired, and he had not been paying much attention. After practicing the sword-wielding moves with Qin Xi for several days in a row, the pain became more and more obvious.

Seeing her turn around to leave, the man on the bed reached out a hand and grabbed her wrist.

If she hadn't moved, it would have been fine. But when she moved, the external force stimulated her, causing Ah'ao to scream in pain and fall back on the edge of the bed, "Ah!"

Hengzhi was originally in a daze and not quite clear-headed. The high fever had made his mind chaotic and his eyes felt as if they were weighed by a thousand pounds and it was difficult to open them.

It was only because I subconsciously realized that Ah'an was beside me and was about to leave that I instinctively wanted to keep her.

But this sound of pain, coupled with the noise of hitting the bed, completely woke Hengzhi up.

"What's wrong?" The eyes opened, burning bright red. The tone was urgent, and the throat was dryer than the sound of cutting old wood.

The fingertips were burning hot, burning A's wrist.

A pair of eyes filled with tears of pain met another pair of confused eyes.

When we looked at each other in silence for a moment, I thought we were acting out some separation and death scene from a storybook.

Hengzhi didn't know how long he had slept, he just felt like he was in another world.

The opportunity to see her so closely seemed like a lifetime away.

But I still remember her crying out in pain and looking down at her hand.

"It must have been twisted. It hurt a little when I grabbed it suddenly."

Seeing how serious he thought the situation was, with a heavy atmosphere surrounding him, Ah-yi quickly explained.

A'an lay on the edge of the bed. Hengqi sat up straight, appearing much taller than her, as if he was holding her in front of him.

The hot palm carefully covered the already swollen wrist and rubbed it gently.

"I have two good news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Ah's lips raised cunningly, her voice bright and clear.

"You say one, and I listen to one." The frozen lake water in Hengzhi's eyes was rippling in the spring breeze, and the sound and color were intoxicating.

"The first thing that matters is that Mr. Gong has returned from his long journey. You will soon be able to get rid of the pain caused by the Longevity Wood." Ah'ao felt that this was more important, so she said it without reservation.

"Well, anything else?"

So calm, and doesn't look happy at all.

Ah Yi continued, "As for me, I guarantee the rest of Ruzui's life. She willingly told me everything about He Yong that she couldn't find out before."

Ah'ao felt strangely proud when she talked about something that could be done by just spending money, and she had praised herself many times in her heart.

"So amazing." Hengzhi smiled, picked her up and made her sit safely next to him.

"Aren't these good things?" A'yi asked tentatively.

Hengzhi stared at her and hesitated for a moment, "Not even a little bit."

"So what's a good thing?"

"Good thing?" Hengzhi recited these two words and seemed to be lost in thought.

Ah'ao waited quietly, and some vague premonition made her heart beat faster and faster.

Hengzhi was speechless for a long time, not knowing where to start or how to elaborate.

I have been studying literature diligently since I was young, and there have been moments that are beyond words.

Her eyes and eyebrows were like mountains, and A'ao approached her unwillingly.

Closer.

"The deeper the love, the more concerned we are?"

The deeper the love, the more concerned we are.

Every word is like a pearl, striking directly into my heart.
