Chapter 254
The stewardess beside Xie Jiajia was guarding Haitang Residence. When she saw Xie Zhaozhao, she came forward and said, "The grandmother and maid beside Miss Chen were persuaded by the lady to go back and rest just now."

"The little lady was crying a little, so she went back to take her while she was having lunch."

"Well, it's hard work, sister."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded towards the nanny: "You should also go back to the third sister and take care of her. Let her rest. I will watch over here."

"Yes."

Nanny quickly retreated behind her.

Xie Zhaozhao entered the house.

At noon in late spring and early summer, the yard was still very warm and comfortable, but it was a bit cold inside the room.

Chen Shulan lay quietly on the bed, her face seemed even paler and weaker than last night, her lips were chapped and peeled, and her hands were folded on the quilt as if she was sleeping deeply.

Hongxia whispered: "Miss San called the doctor to stab her unconscious."

"Yes." Xie Zhaozhao responded in a low voice. After squeezing Chen Shulan's pulse, he took a deep breath and frowned.

The pulse was so thin that it was almost impossible to feel it.

She stuffed Chen Shulan's hands into the quilt and put them away, then retreated to the corridor: "Is there any news from Fifth Brother?"

"Not yet." Hongxia said hesitantly: "After the young lady went to rest in the morning, the third young lady asked whether the fifth young master would leave Beijing directly for Pennsylvania, or go to find other young masters."

Xie Zhaozhao said nothing, thinking about the possibilities in his mind.

With Xie Changyuan's temperament, he might actually run away.

It's just that it's impossible for him to find his parents.

Yu's thoughts every day can make his head split open.

The eldest brother and the second brother are stationed in the east. Because they are a little older, the eldest brother and the second brother are very serious and upright. If Xie Changyuan goes to find them, the probability is the same as that of Yu.

It needs to be disciplined.

How could a big loach like Xie Changyuan be asked to discipline him?

That leaves the fourth brother.

The fourth brother is casual, and he and Xie Changyuan are not much different in age, and they can chat easily. Not long ago, he even sent a letter to the family.

Xie Zhaozhao turned back to Wangyue Tower and said, "Hongxia, please help me find the letter home that my fourth brother sent me half a month ago."

"it is good!"

Hongxia helped Xie Zhaozhao rummage on the desk and in the cabinet behind it, and soon handed over a letter, "Here it is."

Xie Zhaozhao took it apart and opened it again, "Pingyang... is in the southwest of Shengjing."

I received a letter half a month ago. My fourth brother said that he had something to do in Pingyang and would stay for a while.

Pingyang is not far from Shengjing, it takes about seven or eight days by horseback.

Hongxia hesitated and said: "Miss, do you think the Fifth Young Master will go to Pingyang to find the Fourth Young Master?"

Xie Zhaozhao frowned and said nothing. After a moment, she quickly folded the letter and put it away, "Go and saddle my horse!"

"Miss?"

Hongxia was stunned, "Where are you going?"

"Yangsong Valley."

The incident involving King Liang was very involved, and for more than half a month, the atmosphere in the morning court was very solemn.

Today, another incident involving sesame seeds and rotten millet was brought to the attention of King Liang, which almost brought down even the grand master of the court.

Everyone was in danger for a while, and after retreating from the court, they didn't even have the usual situation of walking together in twos and threes.

The ministers hurriedly left alone one by one, fearing that any slight mistake would be implicated in the case of King Liang.After the prince retired from the court, he called Yun Qi, "How is Miss Chen's condition?"

"Miss Chen is at Xie's house." Yun Qi said calmly: "Father wants to know about Miss Chen's condition, so he really shouldn't ask me."

The prince chuckled, "Won't Miss Xie Qi tell you? Don't be so talkative and tell me!"

Yun Qi smiled, but did not show off, and relayed everything Xie Zhaozhao told the prince.

The prince looked solemn after hearing this: "It sounds very serious."

"Yes." Yun Qi nodded, "Now only Xie Wu is around, she can eat and drink medicine, and the others can't do anything to her... Now Xie Wu has gone somewhere."

At this point, Yun Qi also frowned, "My son asked Xuan Ming to lead the Xuan Jia Army to pay attention at all times, and also asked Lu Hanqiu to pay attention, but the whole night passed, and there was no news from either place."

"You usually hang out with him. If he wants to run away, how can he not know how to guard against you?" The prince sighed softly, "I really didn't expect that things would come to this. Chen Shulan was so alone, and it's half the time now. Half stupid."

The King of Zhongshan has been silent.

The court is also hanging now.

The prince knew that Emperor Xuanwu was still considering how to deal with this matter, whether to continue to expand or stop here.

They are also confronting the King of Zhongshan, testing and watching each other.

"Let's look for it first." After a pause, the prince said calmly: "Get some high-quality medicinal materials and supplements from the inner treasury and send them to Chen Shulan, and then ask the doctor from the imperial hospital and others to go and give Chen Shulan a look. "

"By the way, there used to be a medical doctor, Mr. Gui Miao, by your side——"

Yun Qi said: "Mr. Miao has something to do and has left the capital a long time ago. Now you can ask Mr. Lu to come over and take a walk. However, my son saw Mr. Lu in front of the palace gate in the morning. According to him, Miss Chen's condition cannot be cured by medicine or stone."

The prince sighed again, "Then just do your best and obey fate."

……

When Yun Qi left the palace, he ordered Xuan Ming to send a message to Lu Hanqiu to follow the prince's instructions.

When Lu Hanqiu received the oral order, the interrogation of prisoners was in full swing in the Dali Temple Prison.

Hearing this, Lu Hanqiu raised his eyebrows, "Why do you ask me to go? Why doesn't Your Highness go?"

"I heard that Miss Xie Qi is out of Beijing."

Xuan Ming stopped, "So His Highness has no time to go to Xie's house. Besides, Mr. Lu understands Miss Chen's illness, and you are Mr. Lu's brother, so please make a trip."

"Oh."

Lu Hanqiu casually threw the fan on the table, "Okay, are you ready?"

"Okay, just wait for Mr. Lu to go."

Xuan Ming followed Lu Hanqiu up the stone steps from the dark and damp dungeon and said, "Your Highness knows that you have many ideas, so you also want to ask you to take a look at Miss Chen's current situation and see if there are any solutions."

"Well, that's it." Lu Hanqiu said lazily: "Your Highness is used to calling people. I am the minister of Dali Temple. I am quite good at interrogating and questioning people. Your Highness actually asked me to find a way to treat people."

"It's true that he sought medical treatment because of a sudden illness."

After leaving the dungeon, Xuan Ming smiled and sent Lu Hanqiu to the carriage.

Looking at the carriage going away, Xuan Ming thought to himself: If you didn't have two brushes, His Highness wouldn't seek help from you even if he was seriously ill.

I think he had previously thought that Lu Hanqiu was just a prodigal son of flowers and a general with pink makeup.

If he could win the favor of Emperor Xuanwu and get Yun Qi to associate with him, he might not be a sycophant with honey on his lips.

But after dating for a long time, he realized that just because Lu Hanqiu was romantic, it didn't mean that he was incompetent.

He was able to get into the position of Dali Temple Minister at his current age, and he was the highest prison officer in the Qin Dynasty. His methods and government were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
