Da Suining

Chapter 256 Chapter 250

Of course Lan Fai knew.

This matter involved Guo Kai, and it was inconvenient for Guo Kai to come forward.

The emperor gave this case to the eldest prince Guo Cong.

Guo Cong has always regarded himself as the crown prince.

Emperor Guo Zhengchan's health has become worse and worse in recent years, and his previously ruddy complexion has gradually turned into a purple eggplant.

During this process, Guo Cong's help was indispensable.

In the imperial court, the Mei family almost always said what they said.

Concubine Mei's uncle is a great general, and Concubine Mei's elder brother is leading troops to guard the edge of the Xuan Kingdom. Among these princes, there are the disabled, the young, and Guo Wei, who only has a long body but not a brain. Although Guo Cong He's not pretty, he doesn't follow the idol route, and he's not handsome, but with his mother's family in his hands, he is considered highly by the emperor, especially in recent years, there have been rumors of a crown prince in the court, and the ministers always protect Guo Cong's position every time they make a bid. Cong's head was raised higher.

When the emperor handed over the case to him, he said this: "Father, don't worry, this matter interferes with the second younger brother's heir, and the ministers must handle it fairly, and the royal blood cannot be wronged. They will definitely find out the truth and report it to the father." Come back."

"This matter cannot be delayed for long."

"Yes."

Concubine He and Guo Wei didn't want the case to be taken over by Guo Cong, especially Concubine He, who was always inferior to Concubine Mei and didn't like to deal with her the most. Who knows if Concubine Mei Gui will prevaricate on purpose, so her grandson is gone for nothing?

Though thinking this way in her heart, Concubine He still prepared a generous gift to summon Guo Cong: "It's about the honor and disgrace of the royal family, the eldest prince must investigate carefully, the scourge... that... the culprit of the Xiang family, it's better to deal with it early. Otherwise, the people in Qingcheng, wouldn’t they be watching the royal family’s jokes?”

"Hurry up and kill him, the fifteenth day of this month is a good day." Guo Kai clenched his fists.

Xiang Suining refused to succumb to him, and death was not a pity.

Guo Cong took a cup of tea and did not accept the concubine's gift, but said indifferently: "This matter involves the royal family, since the father entrusted this burden to me, he naturally trusts me, and I will naturally not let the father down. In the past few years, there was an earthquake in the south, and my father sent me to save the people from danger. There was a flood in the north, and my father sent me to save the people from the fire. I was the one to deal with the matter of poisoning the well, and I handled all these things properly, and there was nothing that did not reassure my father. Now this matter is naturally no problem."

Concubine He smiled, but she couldn't drink the tea in the cup.

Guo Kai clenched his fists even tighter.

Didn't Guo Cong come here to investigate the case, and after listening to him talk about so much, if he is given a yellow robe, he is going to ascend the throne on the spot, right?

Such a wise and powerful man, it is unreasonable not to be an emperor.

Usually I don't bother to listen to his wife selling melons.

This time, he had to listen patiently and send him away in a nice way.

"If he can behead that girl Xiang Suining, then he has two points of ability." Concubine He let the maid beat her back, still worried, and asked the maid to listen to the corner: "Before I want to come to Guo Cong to handle the case, I will definitely do it." Go and listen to Mei Ruhua's instructions, you go and listen to what Mei Ruhua explained to him, if he has any bad intentions, I won't follow."

Guo Kai would despise Concubine He: "What is the identity of the mother and I have forgotten? You dare to eavesdrop on the corner of Concubine Mei Gui. Even if Concubine Mei Gui confessed something, is it possible that the mother still dares to ask her for arguments?"

"Why don't you dare?" Concubine He felt a little guilty when she said this, so forget it, don't let the palace maid go for nothing, even if she hears some bad news, what can she do, she was the footwasher of Concubine Mei Gui back then A servant girl, a maidservant for a day and a servant girl for life, she will never be hardened in front of Concubine Mei Gui.

Chenghuan Hall.

The newly tributed watermelon in the west is sliced ​​into thin slices, which are juicy and juicy, and the air is full of sweetness.

Chang Nan, the maidservant next to Concubine Mei, brought the watermelon to Guo Cong.

Guo Cong signaled Changnan to put the watermelon on the table.Then I went to get it and eat it.

The maids in Chenghuan Palace are not outstanding in appearance.

Concubine Mei always thought that the maids around her were too gorgeous, which was not a good thing for Guo Cong who often came and went.

So Chang Nan, who is a long and regretful court lady, is waiting on her, and she doesn't know those enchanting tricks, so she can rest assured.

Of course, it was an exception that the foot-washing maidservant and concubine climbed onto the emperor's dragon bed by stepping on the foot-washing basin.

Guo Cong did not disappoint Concubine Mei either.

He rarely gets close to women.

He probably couldn't remember what the maids of Chenghuan Palace looked like.

Although there were many beauties in the palace, he didn't even take the initiative to look up.

Unlike Guo Kai, when he met a turtle on the road, he couldn't wait to turn it over to see if it was male or female.

After eating the watermelon, the maid brought a handkerchief to let Guo Cong wash his hands.

Concubine Mei asked someone to bring black plum tea again, and after Guo Cong drank it, she spoke slowly: "I heard from Chang'an that the emperor entrusted you to investigate the matter of poisoning the emperor's grandson, do you have a leader?"

"My son is going to visit Xiang's house."

"You don't need to be under pressure. Although it is a matter of the royal family, it is not our own matter. Compared with those major events, this matter is simply not worth mentioning."

"Concubine Concubine..."

"Of course that foot-washing maid wants you to kill Xiang Daying's daughter to relieve her hatred. After so many years, she still can't hold back her anger. She gave birth to Guo Kai's idiot and wanted to give birth to the emperor's grandson first. Come on, I don't even look at what kind of fate she is, and whether she has such a blessing in her fate." When Concubine He was mentioned, Concubine Mei was not angry: "You just check, as for what Concubine He said, you don't have to take it to heart. , she is a woman in the harem, she can point out anything, you can find out what it is, it is what it is."

"Mother said so."

"This case is not the most important one. Recently, your father often has a heartache. The imperial doctor in the imperial hospital is helpless. Fortunately, the little imperial doctor, what is his name..."

"Mother, you mean Lu Zhan's son, Lu Yu?"

"It's him." Concubine Mei rubbed her temples, and the peonies on her temples were crumbling: "That kid is quite talented. Although he doesn't speak very well, he is said to be good at acupuncture and moxibustion. Your father's heart hurts, so he eats him." Prescribed medicine, let him administer the needle."

Just as he was talking, there were small footsteps from Cheng Huan Hall.

The maid came to pass, saying that Lu Yu had arrived.

"I heard from the emperor that you and the eldest prince were sent to investigate the case of King Lu, so I asked you to give me an order." Concubine Mei looked at Lu Yu.

Thin but not weak, there is a clean fragrance of pear blossoms all over the body, and there is a faint sweetness of licorice.

The ten fingers are long and slender, and the seams between the nails are clean.

Those eyes were slender and beautiful. His eyes were like a pool of clear water. He couldn't see the bottom no matter what. He just felt like staring at him, and he felt a little dumbfounded just looking at him.

It seems to be the same as seen somewhere.

Changnan served Lu Yu a cup of tea and two kinds of fruits, and Concubine Mei came back to her senses: "The emperor's illness is entrusted to you."

"Yes."

"You don't have to be restrained, I asked you to come, just to ask you, how is the emperor's illness?"

"The emperor is the son of heaven, the doctors do their best, and the rest is up to God." Lu Yu replied.

It's like no answer.

Nothing was asked.

Concubine Mei reminded him: "The emperor asked the eldest prince to investigate the matter of Prince Lu's heir. Of course, the eldest prince cannot understand the matter of medicine, so the emperor sent you to follow him. You have to do your best."

"Yes."

Coming out of the Chenghuan Palace, Lu Yu and Guo Cong walked one after the other, following each other.

The palace was empty.The cracks in the bluestone are all sprinkled and swept clean.

At the city gate, the wind was very strong.

Guo Cong turned his back to Lu Yu, and said softly: "This case involves Xiang Suining, I know, you have always secretly liked her."

"I didn't secretly like her."

"You don't like her?"

"like."

"Then you don't admit it."

"I just don't admit that I like her secretly. I like her. I like her with gongs and drums. I'm not afraid of others knowing." Lu Yu stood facing the wind.

Walking in the palace for a day, giving the emperor needles for an hour, his wrists were sore, and he went to Concubine Mei to listen to the instructions, he was a little tired, but his eyes were still so clean and clear. When he mentioned her, his eyes were sore. The starlight in the sky is enough to illuminate the twelve hours of his day.

In an instant, I didn't feel so tired anymore.

"If this case is investigated to the end...she is going to die, what will you do?" Guo Cong asked.

Lu Yu was taken aback.

He never thought that Xiang Suining would die.

It seems that since I knew Xiang Suining, she would die again and again.

In the end, he didn't die even once.

Only this time, it's a little more serious.

Lu Yu even committed the crime of disrespect and went to Guo Kai, and told Guo Kai himself that if he dared to bully Xiang Suining in a sneaky way, he would have a lot of sneaky prescriptions, for example, to give it to Guo Kai without anyone knowing it. Put a little medicine in the meal to ensure that Guo Kai's future descendants...have no harvest.Not only are there no harvests for his descendants, but it is also possible that Guo Kai will struggle to climb into a woman's bed in the future. Even if he climbs into a woman's bed, it will be over before he takes off his pants.

Lu Yu has confidence in his medical skills. ,

The long wind blows, and the corner of the robe is crispy with pear fragrance.

Lu Yu lowered his head and laughed: "If that woman is going to die, let her die, because everyone is going to die anyway."

"how about you."

"I, I won't die for love right away." Lu Yu crossed his arms and looked at the mountains in the distance. His eyes were shining brightly, and the light was so full that it was about to overflow, shining like glass , shrouded under his eyes, his long eyelashes also showed crystal, he hugged his arms again, but he hugged the wind, as if he didn't hug anything, but also seemed to hug everything in his heart Nian thought: "If she dies, I will send away the people who killed her one by one. Anyway, the poison in my place is enough for everyone to share a bowl, and send away the people who killed her. If the poison is still there If there is any left over, I will drink a bowl myself, but I am not dying for love, I am going to Huangquan Road with me to see, that idiot fell in love with someone and was wronged to death, did he learn how to become a ghost when he went underground, lest those who bully her, When we get to the ground, we will still bully her."

cell.

Xiang Suining just fell asleep when he suddenly woke up again.

The wind in the palace seems to have feet.

There was a whining sound in the cell, and the wind that walked along the four corners of the cell carried a bleak air, although it was a warm wind, it was cool.

In April, the sky has warmed up.

It is the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom and the pear blossoms are falling.

The light gauze is about to be put on the upper body again.

Xiang Suining broke out in a cold sweat.

She folded her arms and sat in a corner of the cell, secretly lost in thought.

"In just these two days, the Eldest Prince will investigate the case himself, Miss Xiang, please be at ease." A yamen servant comforted in a soft voice: "Miss Xiang, don't be too afraid, everything will come to light."

The cell is boring.

Unlike in Fuchu, you can embroider and fish.

Looking at the four-cornered sky above the cell, I get tired.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he saw a black figure standing by the bed.

A small shadow, thin and lonely.

He couldn't see his face clearly, his back was facing Xiang Suining.

Not moving at all.

"who are you?"

Xiang Suining asked.

A small shadow, like a child.

"Who are you?" Xiang Suining asked again.

The little shadow didn't answer.

There was some doubt in the dream.

Not sure who was standing.

Suddenly, he had an idea and felt that this child was somewhat familiar.

"Are you...the child of King Lu?" Xiang Suining in the dream asked.

The little shadow turned around.

But it was a white face with no facial features.

With such a blank face, Xiang Suining felt chills all over his body.

I asked in my dream, and the black shadow disappeared in an instant.

Xiang Suining woke up abruptly, only to realize that he had only slept for half an hour, and within that half an hour, he had such a weird dream, and was a little scared.

Mrs. Xiang was always concerned, so Mingzhu stuffed a burden in.

There was no change of clothes and no food in it.

Presumably Mrs. Xiang knew that Xiang Suining didn't care about food and clothing.

It's a few books.

"Shen Nong's Materia Medica", "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Thousand Gold Prescriptions"

Madam Xiang wanted her to read books to pass the time.

In his spare time, Xiang Suining also has the habit of reading medical books.

Back then when we were sitting by the lake, we discussed with Lu Yu the essentials of "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions", how harmful bones are to pregnant women, and whether adding a few pieces of licorice to the medicinal soup would be beneficial to the medicine. effective.

It seems like only yesterday that there was still warmth in these books.

Looking at these books now, I can't help but think of Lu Yulai.

Mingzhu brought a message, saying that tomorrow the eldest prince will go to the mansion to find evidence for the case.The eldest prince also brought an imperial doctor, that is Lu Yu.

Xiang Suining is not very familiar with the Eldest Prince.

But with Lu Yu, Xiang Suining was worried about him.

I'm afraid that Lu Yu is eager to save people and offends some powerful people because of her.

He was originally the son of a wealthy family with a bright future, but because he got to know her, many troubles arose in his life.

Sure enough, just after dawn, before the morning glow covered the east, a bunch of people gathered in front of the Xiangfu's gate.

The leader is the First Prince Guo Cong.

Because of the case investigation, Prime Minister Daying was accompanying him in the mansion this day, and he didn't even go to the court, so he sued for leave.

Behind the eldest prince, Lu Yu followed, and there were several masters from the government office.

After passing the small pond, we came to the house where Xiangyan lived.

Because of the loss of a child, Guo Kai was angry and refused to take Xiangyan back, so Xiangyan could only lie in the room and wait for the news.

The house is deep in spring.

Kapok is about to bloom.

Several servants of the family were called to check, but none of them were found, because Chunyu was serving her personally, so she asked more questions.

Chun Yu asked Xiangyan what he ate, what he drank, what time he slept, who he met, and answered them all.
