Chapter 25： Get rid of the game

Duan Zeng frowned: "You are the one who provokes me. I didn't provoke anything, but to be honest, there is something wrong."

Shi Helin looked at the four princes and whispered: "They...they are..."

The fourth prince said, "I am the fourth prince, and two doctors are very offensive." He got up and saluted Su Wanniang: "This lady..."

Su Wanniang hurriedly saluted and said: "I have seen the four princes."

The fourth prince's expression was stiff, and Shen Wen said with a smile: "I don't know the fourth prince, let's call him brother brother." He came over and paid a salute.

The four princes reacted immediately and said to Su Wanniang and the others: "Please call me Young Master Jiang." You can get closer without showing your identity.

Su Wanniang pursed her lips, knowing that this young man is very sensible, and once again she said: "I have seen Young Master Jiang." In the midst of Yingying, there is a romantic. The four princes also saluted Su Wanniang, just like an ordinary teenager.

Su Wanniang straightened her waist and straightened her face. She looked at the fourth prince and said, "Since we know that the son's family is not easy, the son's legs should be treated even more."

Shi Helin frowned, but Duan Zeng nodded and said, "Yes, you can't just give up like this!"

The fourth prince sighed: "You don't know the depth, this is a matter of human life."

Duan Zeng pouted, "You are also two or three years older than me. How come you look older than my master."

Shi Helin said: "What's wrong with the old man if you don't listen to the old man's words? You can't do it if you don't listen! Jiang is the old man..."

Duan Zeng waved his hand and said, "Don't pay attention to the old cai gang! They are all very timid..."

Shi Helin was so angry that he pushed the section and added: "What are you talking about! I don't understand the dignity of a teacher! You are guilty of making trouble!"

Duan Zeng said to Shi Helin: "If you stop me, I will leave! Believe it or not!"

Shi Helin stammered: "Why... why... aren't we still discussing if we want to leave?"

Duan Zeng ignored him, turned his head and said to the fourth prince: "Don't be so scared. The things you are afraid of will not escape when they come. If you are not afraid, it will not happen!"

Shen Wen said on the side: "That's right, if you are afraid of being found, you can connect your legs and pretend to be lame."

With a "crimp", the fourth prince blushed again. Ding Naifu nodded and said in a low voice: "Yes, cure first, don't show it."

The four princes smiled bitterly: "You don't understand, I'm afraid something will happen in these hundred days..."

Duan Zeng raised his head: "I don't know that an accident can be bigger than death! When I was four years old, my parents were killed all over the house. I took advantage of the chaos and lay under the servant's body before I died. They left, I slipped into the street, what did I see? Just pick up what to eat, until I met my stupid master..."

Shi Helin looked like she was about to wipe her tears: "Poor little baby, it's not as high as the carriage base, that dirty look...Who are you stupid! I'm still stupid after I picked you up, how can you remember how old you were at that time! "

Duan Zeng rolled his eyes: "Of course I remember, I remember the appearance of my parents, and I still know who those people are! Sometimes family members are enemies! I know! I must cure you! Never let your enemies succeed! "

The fourth prince still shook his head. Su Wanniang said in a low voice: "I know you are worried about us, don't worry, we will arrange it. Also, you see, your third brother's mother is ill, which means that the other party has not dealt with you right now, just fine. Take the opportunity to heal your legs."

Shen Wen looked at Su Wanniang reverently and said, "Sister Wanniang is smart, she must have arranged things properly, no one can find out."

The fourth prince looked at Su Wanniang and shook his head more firmly: He can't hurt her.

Su Wanniang stopped watching the fourth prince, and said to the attendant Ding: "We'll make a decision. February 2nd, take this young man to Guanyi Pavilion. Even if he is fascinated, he will also be taken there. When he gets there , Someone will tell you what to do. Later, you just follow it."

Ding Naifu nodded and said, "Okay, I will do it."

The fourth prince frowned and said: "Dare you!"

Attendant Ding smiled beamingly at the four princes: "Let's... go back! Everyone, let's say goodbye." But he didn't say whether he would dare or dare.

Without waiting for the four princes to say anything, everyone in the room bowed their farewells at the same time, and the four princes shook his head and said, "No!"

Su Wanniang nodded to Ding's attendant, Ding's attendant helped the fourth prince go out, and said, "If you have money, please tell me."

Su Wanniang said: "You persuade your son, don't be so stubborn. Cooperate with everyone, or you will be tired."

The fourth prince said in a hurry: "I just don't want to..."

Su Wanniang shook her head at him: "Needless to say, we all made up our minds."

The four princes knew that they could not be changed, and frowned and said eagerly: "You must be careful and careful, don't..." Dead!

Su Wanniang glanced at Shen Wen, and when she saw her nodded slightly, she said, "Don't worry, we will do it seamlessly." She motioned to Ding Naibu to take the four princes away.

The four princes turned their heads one step at a time, and were pulled out of the house by Ding Nei's attendant. Su Wanniang sent them out, closed the yard door, and closed the door again when he came back, and said seriously to Shi Helin and Duan Zeng: "This is not It's a child's play, we can only do it well."

Shi Helin said with some fear: "This... can this be done?"

Duan Zeng eagerly said: "It will definitely be done! Let's put it all together!"

They explained the plan in detail, divided the work for everyone, and explained their preparation activities. Let's talk about getting together for five days, come here to meet, and then prepare to break up.

Shen Wen pulled Duan Zeng to the corner of the yard and asked him in a low voice, "Can you give that son a bone, is it because you can see?"

Duan Zeng was finally frightened. He looked back at Shi Helin and Su Wanniang who were talking in the yard with a stiff expression. He also whispered: "How did you know?"

Shen Wen smiled: "Guess it."

Duan Zeng looked at the little girl, wondering whether he should be happy or worried, and asked in a low voice: "Don't you think I am a monster?"

Shen Wen said in surprise: "Of course not, you are a fairy!"

Duan Zeng almost cried, looked at Shen Wen and said, "Really!"

Shen Wen nodded quickly: "Only immortals will see it."

Being able to see through the human body, the so-called special function in later generations is actually a signal frequency in the human brain that is faster than that of ordinary people. Some people are born with it, and some people can achieve it through acquired practice. Shen Wen could do it by himself, of course he wouldn't say it was a monster.

Duan Zeng raised his head and said, "I knew that I didn't survive because my life had killed everyone, but because I was a genius doctor from the sky!"

Shen Wen once again encouraged: "Yes! You are a genius doctor!" She asked in a low voice, "You said that your family is the enemy. Could it be that the person who killed your parents is the family member?"

Duan Zeng looked at the courtyard wall and said: "My grandfather is a famous doctor, and he has been cured of the disease. My father is the youngest son, and he has become famous since he was a child..."

Shen Wen suddenly realized: "Your father's brothers can't!" Only Duan Zeng's father inherited the talent, but the others did not...

Duan Zeng's face was distorted: "My father is a young son, much younger than them. They don't want him to be the head of the family, and those fields and pharmacies..."

Shen Wen understood why Duan Zeng was so determined to heal the four princes. His own situation aroused his anger at the royal infighting. He wanted to cure the four princes as if he were giving himself a sigh.

In the yard, Su Wanniang looked at the two and a half older children muttering in the corner from a distance, and asked Shi Helin in a low voice: "This little man is very interesting. How did Shi Langzhong pick him up?"

Shi Helin also replied in a low voice: "I went to the south to collect medicinal materials for a year. I saw him in a village outside a big city. He was like a loach, he was pulling weeds to eat, but what he pulled out was edible herbs, so I let him He came over and asked where his home was. He said no. My parents were dead, so I took him back. You said, I never went south a few times in my life, and once in a while I picked up a baby and came back, mine What a blessing..." He sighed with emotion.

Su Wanniang thought of the quarrel between the two people: "Baby, you two quarrel so hard..."

Shi Helin was afraid that Duan Zeng would hear it, so she lowered her voice and said, "The child is a genius. He doesn't know the name of the medicinal materials, but he knows the properties of the medicine. I only taught him the pharmacology and meridian for two years. Since he was seven or eight years old, let him take a look at his illness , Eight or nine are not separated from ten. I dare not to cure any disease. I dare to pierce people when I pick up a needle. I dare to use dangerous drugs, but I need to give some pointers on the measurement of the drugs. I just use the'master' His name pressed him, forcing him to stay with me, and I was easy to learn how he used medicine. He always wanted to leave me and go all over the world to practice medicine. I can still stop him now, but in a few years , When he grows up, he will definitely leave..." He suddenly choked up and said: "I can only call myself his master for a few years, but I won't dare to say that I am his master in the future, lest people say that I am shameless... …"

Su Wanniang looked at Shi Helin and said, "The doctor is a good man."

Shi Helin smiled: "Who is not a good person, the little lady is also a good person..."

After they talked, Shi Helin and Duan Zeng left, Su Wanniang went and called the hired woman, and then returned to the Hou Mansion with Shen Wen.

Shen Wen gave Su Wanniang time to find out if there were any well-known handed down doctors in Jiangnan, and asked if anyone had been wiped out. Su Wanniang knew that Shen Wen would pay attention to everything, so she took it down.

Shen Zhuo and Shen Xiang didn't return to the house until dinner. Shen Zhuo had a blue nose and swollen face, as if he had been violently beaten, and Shen Xiang had several red marks on his face. Facing the old lady's probing eyes at the dinner table, the two only talked about riding horses outside the city and entering the bushes. Shen Zhuo was thrown and Shen Xiang was struck by branches.

After dinner, I left the hall and saw Shen Yi and Shen Zhuo walking together. Shen Wen caught up with Shen Xiang, took Shen Xiang's arm and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Shen Xiang looked at the little sister and said, "Go back to sleep, don't worry about your business!"

Shen Wen said in a sweet and greasy tone: "If you don't tell me, I won't let Sister Wanniang go to play with you."

Shen Xiang thought that he had to study the Fourth Prince with Su Wanniang, so he had no choice but to whisper: "The third elder brother is going to wrestle with the third prince, and the third prince is not in good spirits. Isn't this not looking for death? Naturally, I was beaten to death by the third prince. I had to go. Persuaded... I was also caught a few times." She blushed.

Shen Xiang couldn't tell Shen Wen that when she saw the third prince press Shen Zhuo on the ground, she used to hug the third prince's arm so hard that he didn't let it go. As a result, the third prince pushed her on her chest...The third prince was taken aback, and Shen Zhuo counterattacked and broke free, instead turning the third prince to the ground. The three princes had to fight Shen Zhuo again. After a while, Shen Zhuo was at a disadvantage again, and Shen Xiang had to stop the three princes from using old punches against Shen Zhuo...

When the three princes left, they didn't say a word of apology. But looking at his hunched figure riding away, Shen Xiang didn't blame him at all...

Shen Wen didn't ask Shen Xiang any more, but pondered for himself: In his previous life, he was really an eight-year-old child, or a little girl who didn't like the twists and turns of the Hou Mansion, and didn't care about things around him. In the previous life, when Concubine Chen Gui was ill and even died, did Shen Zhuo also relieve the three princes and the two talents became a tacit acquaintance, and finally died under the cliff together, and did Shen Xiang also sympathize with the three princes, but did not have Married until he went out with the three princes and died on the battlefield

This time Chen Guifei seemed to be unavoidable of death, and the time was advanced! Shen Wen felt deeply guilty, and she knew that there was her own problem-it angered the prince to start early.

She felt a little panic: the development of the matter gradually got out of her grasp. What she originally envisaged was to deal with each other's behavior one by one. But now, some people were saved by her, and some people were not saved by her. Some people still appeared as before, some people did not appear before, but also appeared...

Shen Wen felt guilty and went back to the yard honestly, let Su Wanniang go out to discuss things with Shen Xiang, and meditate by herself until late at night.

Su Wanniang and Shen Xiang talked about the arrangements, and then said that Shen Zhuo already knew about the Fourth Prince, so she included him in the action, and the others, the eldest brother and the second elder brother, don't talk about it. I said I was afraid they would stop, and there were so many people, the fewer people I knew, the better. This is what Shen Wen meant, and Su Wanniang certainly wouldn't say it. Shen Xiang agreed, and agreed to discuss with Shen Zhuo in private.

The same late night, Chen Guifei's palace.

The first month has not passed, and Concubine Chen Gui has not died yet.

The black shadow entered the dark bedroom. He did not bring any cakes, only a small bottle of water. He dripped water into Chen Guifei's slightly opened lips, and wiped away the tears from Chen Guifei's cheeks with the handkerchief he brought with him.

The next day, the third prince went to see Concubine Chen Gui again and brought water soaked with pearl powder. He secretly ground a few pearls in a quilt overnight with two stone inkstones, soaked them in the water he drank, and brought them in a silver pot. The third prince gave Chen Guifei a few mouthfuls with a silver spoon, but Chen Guifei couldn't drink anymore, and a painful expression appeared on her face.

The third prince put down the spoon and pot in his hand and whispered to Concubine Chen: "Mother, I understand..."

Concubine Chen Gui was speechless, she only moved her eyes to look at the third prince. The third prince took the hand of Concubine Chen and wrote the word "poison" in the palm of Concubine Chen's palm. He hated himself, and there was a warning, but when Concubine Chen was really sick, he simply believed in those imperial doctors! I really thought I couldn't get sick! In the past two months, I always had a fluke in my heart. As of yesterday, I thought that hiring a different doctor would cure Concubine Chen Guifei. Unexpectedly, Chen Guifei was so sick that she had nowhere to stay.

But he knew from the beginning what it was poisonous and what he could do. He couldn't keep it all day long. The food he brought was also prepared in the palace. If he insists that Concubine Chen only eats what he brings, will the other party poison him to him? Perhaps this is why Concubine Chen does not eat what he and his sister bring.

Who can poison the father so rampantly in the palace? Why didn't he take a look at the third prince for so long, and suddenly felt that the fog in front of him was cleared, and everything was clear.

But if it's clear, what can it do? That's his father! Yesterday, when he was fighting with Shen Zhuo, he envied Shen Zhuo from the bottom of his heart and envied the children of the Hou Mansion. They are so happy. Their father would not condone anyone who poisoned their mother, would not allow the doctors to conceal the truth, would not watch a woman who had been with him for more than ten years dying in agony...

Concubine Chen's hand wrote in the palm of the three princes: "Say", the three princes blinked, and the concubine Chen wrote "body" again, and the three princes blinked again, and the concubine Chen wrote "inch". The three princes still blinked again and again-this It is the word "thank you". Concubine Chen Gui wrote "Valley".

The third prince figured out how the little doctor said yesterday that Concubine Chen Gui was "really rare" alive, and nodded tearfully and said: "I listen to my mother everything, and I remember everything my mother said." Father Gu.

Concubine Chen wrote the word "North" with difficulty, and the third prince blinked again. This should be Zhenbeihoufu. Concubine Chen Gui seems to have gathered all her strength and wrote the word "pro".

Is this asking me to get married with Zhenbei Houfu, the third prince blushed a bit when he remembered the day before. Concubine Chen Gui stared hard at the third prince, and the third prince said: "Don't worry, mother, I must."

Concubine Chen Gui let out a sigh of relief, with a tired look, and closed her eyes to rest. The three princes stayed by the bed, feeding Chen Guifei with a silver spoon for everything they eat and drink. Until the evening, the palace people came to urge him to return to the palace before leaving.

As soon as the third prince left, a palace man walked over and poured a few spoonfuls of water into Chen Guifei's slightly opened mouth. This time, there was no silver spoon. Concubine Chen allowed her to act without opening her eyes to see the smile on the palace man's face.

Shen Wen didn't know this. In the previous life, until the death of Concubine Chen, the three princes had been ignorant, even if someone told him that Concubine Chen was poisoned to death, he might not believe it. Under the surveillance of various quarters, Chen Guifei could not tell the third prince clearly what she wanted him to marry Zhenbeihou. After Chen Guifei died, the fifth princesses married, and the third princes also vaguely married someone appointed by the queen many years later.

In this life, there was a misfortune. The third prince was warned, and after hearing the description of the fourth prince, with the doctor’s diagnosis, there was nothing suspicious anymore. He seemed to suddenly discover where he was standing, not an inner courtyard of a palace, not a land of splendor, but a palace surrounded by demons, a wilderness surrounded by wild beasts.

In the bedroom late at night, the three princes held Shen Xiang's sword that he brought back with both hands. He felt that there was still Shen Xiang's body temperature on it, just like the soft place he accidentally touched yesterday. He sat for a long time, with his mother on one side and the father who condoned his mother who died of poisoning on the other. His heart was split in the middle, and he was born and raised. He didn't know how to behave in the world.

On February 2, the dragon looked up.

In ancient China, twenty-eight nights were used to express the position of the sun, moon and stars in the sky and to judge the seasons. The horns, kang, di, room, heart, tail, and Ji in the twenty-eight constellations form a complete dragon-shaped constellation, among which the horns are just like the horns of a dragon. At the beginning of February, the "Dragon Cape Star (i.e. Spica 1 and Spica 2 appears from the eastern horizon at dusk. At this time, the entire body of the blue dragon is still hidden below the horizon, but the spica is first exposed, so it is called "The dragon looks up."

In the evening of the previous day, the old Taoist priest in the mountains looked at the arrangement of the stars in disbelief, then counted for another hour, and murmured: "How could it be so earth-shaking!"

He called the Shuitiao boy who was picking up a few sticks on the side, and said solemnly, "Close your eyes."

The child was often instructed by the master to do this and that, immediately after he did what he said, he could continue to play, so he closed his eyes.

The old Taoist asked: "Think about it... Uh... Dragon! Yes, have you seen the dragon?"

The child shook his head. The old Taoist frowned and asked, "What did you see?"

The child frowned vigorously: "A bowl of white rice..."

The old Taoist is angry: "Go and play! The dragon raised his head, the dragon raised his head, the real dragon raised his head! People say you can see through the past and the present, but you can't see this!"

Not only that kid, but no one would watch "Is the dragon really raising his head". What everyone wanted to see in the capital was Ji Wenzhao's arena.

People had known as early as ten days ago that Ji Wenzhao in Guanyi Pavilion would invite all those who broke his life and death chess game to come and solve the game on the spot to see if it can really be broken. If no one can solve it, he will give his own answer and challenge all the chess players to see if he can stop his robbery.

That morning, Guanyi Pavilion was overcrowded. Bao Guanren laughed so much that he couldn't see his eyes, and his voice was almost dumb.

An open space was circled in the middle of the hall, and there were four tables in it. There are chess games on every table. Ji Wenzhao played with four people at the same time. Tables and chairs were built around, and people could stand or sit on them to watch the chess game below, while others recorded the footwork and copied the footwork to the four chess tables outside.

Ji Wenzhao is wearing a white brocade gown, and the surrounding hem is inlaid with black satin, like a chic celebrity handed down in ancient times. With a haughty smile on his face, he sometimes fell out without even looking at it, which made the people playing chess with him sweat profusely.

There is a steady stream of people’s comments:

"This is simply Huaiyin's use of troops, invincible."

"This trick, a magical hand!"

"It's so whimsical, don't be ridiculous!"

"The ingenuity of the mind is unmatched."

"This move is like an immortal, and it is absolutely innocent!"...

Even the four princes, who were dragged and pulled by the Ding Nai's servant, soon became immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.

He had a sense of familiarity when he saw Ji Wenzhao's appearance. When Ji Wenzhao started to play with others, he was fascinated by Ji Wenzhao's chess style. He watched him step by step and played against others without daring to blink his eyes. .

At noon, Ji Wenzhao announced: "There is another hour, if no one can break this game, I will give the answer. At that time, if there are high-powered people, please come up and play against me."

For a while, the people who came to solve the game came forward one after another, and one immediately went up, taking turns on the chessboard to play against Ji Wenzhao. Ji Wenzhao descended extremely fast, falling into a slap, and the people who came up were defeated one by one. Among them was the third son of the Hou Mansion, Shen Zhuo and the eldest son of Yuan Hou Zhang Yunming.

The people around were amazed and shook their heads and said, "This is like a river of blood!" "It's terrible!"

Shen Zhuo and Zhang Yunming smiled at the end of the game, both of them were defeated, and they felt pity for each other.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Mr. Ding met with Shen Zhuo in a partial hall and listened to all the arrangements. At this time, he handed a piece of jade pendant from the fourth prince to Shen Zhuo, who squeezed past him, and whispered to the fourth prince: "What do you think of Ji Wenzhao?"

The four princes said obsessively: "His moves are light and changeable, his ideas are diversified, his position is open, his spirit is magnificent, and his intentions are subtle and subtle, which is really beyond ordinary people's ability."

Ding Naifu asked triumphantly: "Fortunately, it's here."

The four princes nodded and said, "For him, the game of this day is worth the death."

Ding Naibu said "Bah, bah", "What nonsense the young man is talking about! The young man will live a hundred years old!"

The four princes said with emotion: "Why do you need to live so long instead of stealing a life? It is better to fight happily. Look at Ji Wenzhao's chess, every step is shocking, full of blood and tears, but it is so cool and free. "

Ding Neiji's heart jumped wildly. He peeked at his always silent Highness, not knowing whether he should be happy or worried for a while.

When it was time to solve the game, Ji Wenzhao challenged again, this time no one had challenged. Ji Wenzhao began to solve the life and death of this chess game, every time he took a step, he won a round of admiration. The staff of the prince waiting aside have made up his mind to win over this talent.

After solving all the life and death disasters, Ji Wenzhao took the last step in a high-profile manner, half-faced up looking at the sky, and asked the people: "What do you think?" The tone was complacent, and the meaning of boasting was beyond words.

Some people think that he is too arrogant, but he does have real talents and is naturally full of admiration!

Suddenly, amidst these countless good words, the stubborn guy yelled: "Someone gave me a chess game and said it was for Master Ji!"

Ji Wenzhao said indifferently: "Come to me and see, there are some people who don't know the height of the sky to show off..."

The chatty guy squeezed through the crowd and excitedly handed the chessboard drawn on silk to Ji Wenzhao, saying: "Ji Gongzi will definitely be able to unlock it!"

Ji Wenzhao took the silk with an arrogant smile and unfolded it. The smile on his face disappeared a little, and then his muscles throbbed, seeming to be convulsing, and then he looked at the chess game in his hand and fell into contemplation.

The crowd was in an uproar, and some people began to ask what chess game was, but Ji Wenzhao didn't say anything. The yelling man carefully pulled the silk from Ji Wenzhao's hand. Ji Wenzhao didn't seem to notice, his hand was still empty.

He started a chess game against everyone. Everyone saw that it was another "life and death robbery"!

Many people began to grab the surrounding chessboard and began to swing. There was a mess of movement.

Ji Wenzhao suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed! With a look of grief and anger, the wry guy hurriedly comforted: "Ji Gongzi, it's okay, it's okay, think slowly, don't worry!"

The official Bao also squeezed over and handed over a cup of tea and said, "Young Master Ji, drink tea first." He turned his head and asked the wordy buddy: "Who gave the chess game?"

Everyone pricked their ears to listen, and the dude said: "It's a middle-aged...youth...man, anyway, just put a plug in my hand and told Ji Wenzhao to look at this, don't brag about yourself... Oh, I want to say a few more words about him, so he turned around and squeezed into the crowd and walked away."

Ji Wenzhao gritted his teeth and said: "This is a slander on me!"

Official Bao immediately calmed down and said, "Master Ji! Don't be angry. Your chess game has been hanging here for a year, and the chess game he gave can't be solved right away, right?"

Ji Wenzhao punched his hand angrily and said loudly: "Then I will come back to solve this game in a year! If Ji Wenzhao can't solve it, I won't move on from now on!" After speaking, he pulled the silk. The chess game turns around and leaves!

Guanren Bao chased him and shouted: "Master Ji, Master Ji! Let me be there, I will hang out, let everyone help you think..."

Ji Wenzhao angrily pushed everyone away, grabbing the door and leaving. The prince’s staff rushed to the street, and just as he was about to call his name, Ji Wenzhao raised his head and screamed, and then vomited a mouthful of blood on the ground! Then he vomited a few more mouthfuls-to spit out the smell of the red pill in his mouth.

The prince’s staff stopped: this kind of person who can vomit blood from a game of chess is better. There will be more irritating things in the government in the future, how much blood can vomit.

The Bao official who caught up behind quickly helped Ji Wenzhao, and the two of them staggered away step by step.

Shen Zhuo frowned and watched, and said to Zhang Yunming beside him: "He became so angry."

Zhang Yunming shook his head and said: "He is too proud, he is full and loses. He is stuck in his heyday, and I am afraid that he can't think about it for a while."

The two talked and walked out.

The fourth prince frowned, feeling strange from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing that the people were talking, and before they dispersed, Ding Nei waiter hurriedly helped the fourth prince and said: "It's time to go." The fourth prince raised his hand, covered it with his sleeve, and swallowed a pill.
