Da Suining

Chapter 220 Ghost Orchid
Doctor Lu's eyes are not bad.

His "you come in" almost called Lu Yu's soul away.

Lu Yu felt his calf go limp and his body lost strength, so he stood there for a long time without moving.

Imperial Physician Lu's complexion, illuminated by the octagonal palace lantern, was dark yellow, like a wrinkled lemon.

"Need someone to drag you in?" Imperial Physician Lu looked up.

Lu Yu had no choice but to walk in with his legs crossed. The medicine box on his shoulders seemed to be extremely heavy. He felt that his whole body was stiff after carrying it for too long.

He finally moved in front of Imperial Physician Lu.

Look at the empress doc Lu's complexion is not very good.Lu Yu had no choice but to explain: "The patient originally invited Dad to see a doctor. Dad is very skilled in medicine... I... see that Dad is not here... so I went to practice."

"Ok?"

"I mean... Dad wasn't here, so I went to have a look at it. After all, it was a common illness. I prescribed a few medicines for her, and she took it, and it took only a few days for her to recover. "

Physician Lu has always disliked Lu Yu's practice of medicine.

Lu Yu's explanation was sincere.

The scent of the crystal duck came over, and Lu Yu's stomach grumbled.

"Eat first, today's crystal duck is good, let's try it first." Zhuang felt sorry for Lu Yu, and helped him intercede: "Our son has always been kind, but he is just treating ordinary people, master. Forgive him for his painstaking efforts. It didn't ruin the reputation of the Lu family, and it didn't cause any troubles. Let him eat, he should be hungry."

Lu Yu looked at Crystal Duck, then at his father's face.

The wind is strong during the summer, and the wind is even stronger at night.

The strong wind blew the flowers in the corridor tottering, and the octagonal palace lantern in the room swayed and swayed.

With the flickering of the palace lantern and the flickering of the red candle, the halo flickered on the face of Imperial Physician Lu, bright and dark, making people's eyes sore.

"Why are you still standing there, your mother said the crystal duck is delicious, eat it quickly."

When Lu Yu heard this, he quickly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of duck meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

Physician Lu allowed Lu Yu to eat, so he stopped being angry.

The air in the room came alive.

The maid and the woman were spreading the cloth and vegetables, and busy pouring the wine and serving the porridge, serving them very attentively.

Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.

The mother-in-law put four or five red prawns on Lu Yu's plate, and wanted to help him peel the prawns, but Lu Yu stopped her, "I'll do it myself."

"Last time when my in-laws were ill, the young master didn't confiscate any money and just showed it to her, and even paid for the medicine in vain. I want to repay the young master, so the young master will let me strip it."

"Bada." Imperial Physician Lu put down his chopsticks.

The sound of chopsticks touching the porcelain bowl made everyone stunned for a moment, and the old woman blushed and hurried back to the corner.

Lu Yu was holding a red shrimp in his hand, he didn't want to peel it, and it didn't matter if he didn't peel it.

"Eat it while it's hot, it's fresh." Doctor Lu said.

Lu Yu carefully peeled off the red prawns and put them in his mouth. Fresh red prawns are always sweet when they are delivered to his mouth.

Seeing that he was eating happily, Physician Lu personally pushed the plate of shrimps towards him.

Flattered.

"I heard that you cured the second prince's headache and fainting?"

"Where did Dad hear that?"

"How can we hide such a big matter as the treatment of the second prince?" Lu Taiyi said, and took out two silver ingots, a total of 20 taels, from his sleeve. They were official silver: "This is a reward from the concubine He, and said It was you who cured Guo Kai's illness, you deserve it. You have to know that Concubine He doesn't reward people easily."

Those two ingots of silver are dazzling in the eyes.

In this life, what Lu Yu lacks the most is money.

Although the Lu family is fairly well-to-do, the Lu family has a good manners. Counting from the ancestors, they have always behaved in a well-behaved manner. Even if they went out to eat flowers and wine, they never went out once.

Lu Yu is different, after all, the blue is better than the blue, the flower wine, at least drank it a few times, and the one who played with the chickens and bets the crickets, also participated in it a few times.

Which restaurant in Qingcheng has the best food, which one has the best tea, and the storyteller's story is the most bizarre, he knows all of them.

These are all miracles that can be touched with silver.

Silver is just like that, nothing at all.

Now the concubine concubine is rewarding a full two ingots.

God.

You can go out and surf again.

Just think about it and be happy.

So, Lu Yu was still respectful and modest, "Father... I... Is it appropriate to keep it?"

As he spoke, he stuffed the silver into his sleeve.

"The concubine concubine concubine concubine gave you a reward, so you just keep it." Imperial doctor Lu took a sip of the smooth porridge, and asked Lu Yu carefully: "It is said that the second prince has a headache and faints, how do you think about him?"

"Father may not believe it."

"Oh?"

"I took his pulse, and the pulse was stable, and he didn't seem to be sick. Later, he also admitted that he was not sick."

"Then why?"

"I don't want to understand either."

"Now half of the people in the palace know that you have cured the second prince's illness. At that time, the concubine concubine sent someone to call me, rewarded the silver and asked the eunuch in her palace to send me back to the imperial pharmacy. The pharmacy spread the word about it, and the whole imperial hospital knew about it, and when I left the palace, even the little eunuchs sweeping fallen leaves on both sides of the palace road knew about it."

I heard that good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

It's the first time I know that good things spread so fast.

Physician Lu had a hint of worry on his face.

"What do you think ma'am?" he asked.

Mrs. Zhuang had been drinking porridge with her head down. Hearing the doctor Lu's question, Fang put down the spoon, took the handkerchief that Ah Shui handed over and wiped the corner of his mouth: "Master is very worried, and I also mean the same thing in my heart. Those people in the palace, like It’s better to have less contact if it’s not an emergency.”

"When you see Guo Cheng in the future, you can run away. I always feel that this matter is a little weird." Imperial Physician Lu sighed secretly: "Since the founding of the country, our emperor has occasionally suffered from dizziness and headache symptoms. I couldn't find one or two. In the past two years, the emperor's symptoms seemed to be getting worse. Every once in a while, the pain was so painful that he couldn't sleep, and he needed a sleeping decoction from the imperial hospital. The second prince also felt dizzy and had a headache at this time , Is it... because of the emperor's symptoms... or is it because of something else..."

This question was not clear for a while.

But there is no need to figure it out.

Early in the morning of the third day, before the morning glow had passed the courtyard wall and covered the window eaves, several young eunuchs came.

In the center of the young eunuchs, surrounded by an older man who seemed to be the eunuch in the palace: "Where is Mr. Lu, follow our family into the palace, the emperor invites you."

The emperor sent eunuchs to invite him in person, which was surprising.

Lu Yu changed his clothes and followed the eunuch into the palace.

Mrs. Zhuang was sitting by the window, and Ah Shui was sitting opposite her, doing some needlework.

Zhuang's eyes couldn't see, but he kept listening to the movement outside.

"Madam, the young master has just left, and he will come back after a while."

Zhuang Shi listened and nodded.

"Is madam thirsty? I'll pour a cup of tea for madam."

Zhuang shook his head.

"I bought fresh celery in the kitchen today. It's green, oily and crispy. When the farmer in Zhuangzi picked it up, there were still dewdrops on the celery." Ah Shui deliberately coaxed Zhuangshi: "Didn't Madam say that celery and shrimp are good?" Do you want to eat? Let’s cook a plate in the kitchen at noon, the shrimps are also ready-made, packed in wooden basins, and they are alive and kicking.”

"I don't know why the emperor summoned Yu'er, could it be..." When Zhuang thought of this, his brows wrinkled like earthworms again.

She didn't like to think about these things.

But what happened in the past few days was so bizarre that she had to think about it.

"Ma'am, don't worry. Anyway, the young master has cured the second prince. It is also said in the palace that the concubine and concubine's rewards have been given. If the emperor asked the son to enter the palace, it is also about rewards."

Mrs. Zhuang was silent for a while, then took out a gray-white handkerchief embroidered with orchids, and folded it again and again.

So Ah Shui asked the people at the door to come in, and told them: "Go to the gate of the palace to meet him, and ask around to see if there is any letter."

The person at the door rushed to do it.

But the gate of the palace is heavily guarded, and strangers should not come near, so it is not easy to inquire about it.

Just as he probed his head, he saw a group of imperial guards in black armor coming with their knives in hand. The people at the gate of Lu's mansion hurriedly lowered their heads to avoid it, but they were already seen by Lan Tuan, the leader, who vaguely recognized the servants of Lu's mansion. Seeing that they were looking forward to it just now, they seemed to be in a hurry, so they stopped and said, "Are you waiting for Doctor Lu?"

The people at the door also recognized Lan Fai's coming, and hurriedly saluted: "Madam ordered, let's come and find out about my young master."

Lan Fai was a little surprised: "Your son has entered the palace?"

The person at the door told the whole story.

Lan Tuo thought for a moment and said, "I happen to be going to patrol around the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I'll go in and have a look."

The people at the door hurriedly bowed their hands in thanks.

Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Because of the hot weather, the air was a bit dry, and a young eunuch had already carried a wooden bucket and sprinkled water on the bluestone board bit by bit.

Seeing the imperial army approaching, the little eunuch retreated to the side holding the barrel.

Lan Huai looked in the direction of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the vermilion hollow door was closed tightly, and she didn't know what was going on inside.

I just feel that the sun is shining on the glazed tiles of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, reflecting pieces of light like pieces of silver.All kinds of small animals on the roof of the Hall of Mental Cultivation also appear vivid.

Just after passing the Hall of Mental Cultivation and going up the corridor, I heard a bustling sound coming from the Chuihua Gate.

Past the hanging flower gate is the small garden of the imperial palace.

There are several such large and small gardens in the palace.

This one is the closest to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, so the guards are the tightest, and the various flowers in it are also the brightest and most complete.

"It took a lot of hard work for this flower to grow, and there is no other place. The emperor specifically told me to cultivate it carefully. Needless to say in summer, it is the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month. When it is snowing heavily, the people in the greenhouse also want to see it for the emperor. You have to wait carefully, just for this flower, the other flowers in the greenhouse have to give way."

"I'll just pick one, one, look, you have a lot of it." It was Lu Yu's voice.

Lan Tui asked the other imperial guards to stop first, and went behind the Chuihua Gate to see what happened.

Behind the hanging flower gate, there is another scene.

Peonies, narcissus, camellia, all kinds of tall and low flowers are blooming in the garden. Standing on the path, you can smell all kinds of sweet fragrances.

What Lu Yu was arguing with the guards of the garden was a pale flower.

This kind of flower is said to be a flower, but it seems to have no root system. The whole stem is like a soft ribbon, tied to the trunk.

Against the wall of the hanging flower gate, several beech trees were planted. These pale flowers probably liked these beech trees very much. The flowers under the trees were obviously bigger and fuller.

Lu Yu was holding a flower, ready to pick it off.

The faces of the people in the garden turned pale: "My lord, it is absolutely impossible. If the emperor becomes angry if a flower is really missing, not to mention us, even your lord, I'm afraid it will be implicated as well. This flower is cultivated extremely well." It's not easy, the entire Xuan Kingdom is only found here, young master..."

"It's just a few flowers, what a big deal." The empress beside the emperor heard the movement and hurried over: "I'm arguing about the emperor, how do you take care of it?"

"It's this son...he insists on picking ghost orchids."

ghost orchid.

It is a taboo in the palace, even the word "ghost" is taboo.

This kind of flower is called ghost orchid, and it is called so loudly.

Because ghost orchids are difficult to grow and extremely fragile, it is really not easy to have such a large area.

Lu Yu was also a little embarrassed: "I heard them say it's a ghost orchid. I remembered that my mother loves flowers the most. This kind of novelty flower, I just want to pick one and let her see it. I don't want to... forget it, I won't pick it." Isn't that enough?"

Unexpectedly, the eunuch of the Palace of Mental Cultivation laughed and said: "Young Master Lu, the emperor already knows about the garden, the emperor said, I think you have filial piety, and you also saved the life of the second prince, these ghost orchids, You are allowed to pick whatever you want."

Lu Yu felt embarrassed instead.

"Mr. Lu doesn't have to be like this. If you don't pick it up, the slave will go back. It's not easy to explain."

The eunuch looked sincere, so Lu Yu had to pick the smallest one, and then he and Lan Fai left the palace, walked out of the hanging flower gate, and headed towards the palace gate.

When they came to a shaded place, where the vegetation happened to be lush and there was no one else, Lan Tuo grabbed Lu Yu and asked him, "I was in the Hall of Mental Cultivation just now, how are you doing?"

Lu Yu bit the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Why, do you miss me?"

"It's your mother who misses you. She sent someone from your family to inquire about the news. I'm afraid she's still waiting at the gate of the palace right now. It's fine if nothing happens. Go back quickly."

"It's strange to say, you walked in the palace, I heard that you didn't, but now everyone in the palace knows that I cured Guo Kai's illness."

"I've heard such words these days, but I still don't believe it. I thought that Guo Kai and you... have no friendship, why is it that even Guo Kai is talking about your excellent medical skills now. So it's true. "

Lu Yu shook his head: "What's the truth, he was not sick at all, I didn't see a doctor at all, today the emperor asked me how I took care of Guo Kai's headache, and I answered the same way."

"What does the emperor say?"

"Your Majesty doesn't believe it at all, and even praised me for not taking credit for pride, calling me humble." Lu Yu sighed helplessly: "Tell me, when have I ever been humble?"

"The results of it?"

"As a result." Lu Yu took out a lot of golden melon seeds in his purse, "Isn't this a lucky fortune, the emperor just grabbed so many golden melon seeds and rewarded me, I was worried about how to spend them."

The bright yellow golden melon seeds, full of grains, must have been made by a good craftsman, and it is most convenient to use them in the palace to entertain people.

"Since you're fine, it's fine, go back quickly, don't let your mother worry." Lan faded to tell him.

The two said goodbye in the shade of a tree, and Lu Yu went out of the palace gate to rush home.
