Chapter 41 Retreat as Advance
Although it was the beginning of September, and the weather had only cooled down for a few days, Mrs. Cheng's room had already lit a brazier, and the hot people were a little breathless. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Cheng Lin was dressed in single clothes, sitting quietly in front of the couch, watching the waiting girls feed Mrs. Cheng medicine.
Mrs. Cheng, who was lying on the couch, was lying on the couch silently, her thin body was skinny and boneless, if it weren't for the slight ups and downs of her body, it would be as if she had lost her breath.
Cheng Lin's eyes were very sour.
However, in just a few days, the lady's delicate appearance has been tortured to the point that only a sallow layer of skin hangs on her face, and the wrist hanging on the bed is only skin and bones, and she can't even carry the thin bracelet.
The waiting girls carefully broke the corners of Mrs. Cheng's mouth, fed the decoction into it, and then closed the corners of their mouths, and black soup flowed down from the corners of their mouths.
Yesterday I was able to feed the decoction, but today I can't even feed the medicine.
Cheng Lin's heart trembled and he almost slipped to the ground.
"I'll feed Madame. Cheng Lin stepped forward and carefully helped Mrs. Cheng up, took Mrs. Cheng into his arms with one hand, broke the corners of her mouth with the other hand, and whispered in her ear: "Ruolan, take the medicine." ”
The voice was gentle and low, just like laughing with Mrs. on weekdays, but the girl who was feeding the medicine suddenly had red eyes.
The medicine girl carefully fed another spoonful into it, and Cheng Lin closed Mrs. Cheng's mouth vigorously, and this time there was no more medicine juice.
The girl who fed the medicine wiped her tears in surprise.
The door quietly opened from the outside, and the staff who hurriedly walked in saw this scene, was stunned, and quietly retreated.
Cheng Lin waited until a bowl of medicine was fed in before he walked out, and saw that the staff was anxiously circling around the yard.
"But what happened?" he asked his staff straight to the point, if it wasn't for an emergency, his staff would never have gone into the inner courtyard to look for him.
"My lord, Your Majesty is preparing to send someone to post a notice on the emperor's list, looking for Mrs. Luo to diagnose her wife. The staff's face was a little unpleasant.
Cheng Lin was taken aback, "How does Your Majesty know about Luo Niangzi, why did you send someone?"
As soon as the words came out, he realized that his first question was a bit redundant, the Cheng family posted notices all over the city, how could the emperor not know about Luo Niangzi?
"What happened at today's court meeting?" Cheng Lin had been immersed in the court for decades, and immediately realized that something unexpected had happened at today's court meeting.
The staff told the news they had heard, and although the court had just dispersed, the Cheng family had their own channels to learn the news.
“....... Shi Yushi today played a fold to impeach the lord, the whole court is discussing whether the lord should be punished, the emperor asked Lord Mu's opinion, Lord Mu said that you are an important minister in the court, your wife is seriously ill, it is inevitable to be restless, you should send someone to find a famous doctor to treat your wife, in order to show grace. ”
In addition, Master Mu also said that his family also sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of Luo Niangzi, saying that among the people of the southern generation of the city, it is often said that there is a small medical fairy who is similar to the Luo Niangzi we are looking for. ”
"There are many people in the south of the city, and it is not easy to find people, Lord Mu asked the emperor to send people to the south of the city to find it, if there is really a lady with excellent medical skills, it is also the blessing of the people and the blessing of the community. ”
Cheng Lin listened to Mu Liao's words, his face was expressionless, and he frowned for a moment before he said, "Mu Qingfeng, in your opinion, what does he mean?"
Cheng Lin is in charge of the book, Mu Qingfeng is in charge of the Privy Council, these two have always been known as the two central cores of the East and West Mansions, it can be said that the two of them have mastered the core of the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, one article and one martial arts, and they can be regarded as the emperor's right-hand man.
Although in terms of rank, Mu Qingfeng is a positive product, Cheng Lin is a super product, and the Privy Council is slightly below the Zhongshu, which has the right to participate in the affairs of the Privy Council, and also has the right to reject the Privy Council's performance, but Cheng Lin rarely participates in the affairs of the Privy Council.
First, because he is in Zhongshu, he is busy with daily government affairs in the political hall, and he really can't leave, and second, because Mu Qingfeng has always been cautious, and he rarely has a handle to refute.
Speaking of which, although they are the emperor's right-hand men, they rarely communicate in private.
Cheng Lin was a little puzzled about the deep meaning of Mu Qingfeng's move.
The staff stroked his beard and said what he had thought about many times just now, "The subordinates feel that Lord Mu's move is very meaningful, and he can say that Luo Niangzi may be the little doctor fairy in the south of the city, which means that he must have secretly sent someone to investigate the origin of Luo Niangzi." ”
Cheng Lin nodded, Mu Qingfeng was in charge of military deployment, and he naturally had people who were good at tracking and investigating, and it was not surprising that he could find out the news that he couldn't find.
He didn't tell the adults when he had the news, but asked the emperor to send someone to look for it, which seemed to be asking the emperor to send someone to help the adult, but in fact, he set up the adult. The staff said this, and his face was a little heavy.
Cheng Lin sighed and nodded.
The Cheng family is looking for someone with great fanfare, and the emperor sent a person to search for someone, and things have changed qualitatively.
If you can successfully find Na Luo Niangzi, and Luo Niangzi can cure Mrs. Luo's illness, it will be okay, at most it will be a good talk, the emperor will tolerate the mistakes of the Cheng family, but will send grace to find someone to treat Mrs. Cheng, and Lord Cheng will naturally be grateful to the emperor.
But if you can't find Luo Niangzi, or Luo Niangzi can't save Mrs. at all, the emperor wastes manpower, material and effort, and finally tosses a void, and it is inevitable that he will be angry and blamed.
And if there are other accidents during the search process, the situation is even more complicated.
The emperor blamed, and naturally the culprit was the Cheng family, who was looking for people from the beginning, and Cheng Lin was naturally the first to bear the brunt.
"Whether this matter is successful or not, it is estimated that the emperor will form a knot in the emperor's heart. The staff sighed.
...........
In the Mu family's mansion, Mu Qingfeng was contentedly accepting the compliments of the staff.
"My lord's move is really clever to retreat into advance, now look at how he Cheng Lin can get out, no matter what the final result is, in the emperor's heart, he is afraid that he will not be able to escape from the charge of harming the Feng Sect. ”
Mu Qingfeng smiled and picked up the tea and drank it.
"Fortunately, my lord sent someone to investigate this Luo Niangzi carefully yesterday, otherwise just by saving a Zhao Yuanrui, I am afraid that I can't say that Your Majesty will send someone to search for it? One of the staff members said with a smile.
"My lord, I wonder if the matter of Na Luo Niangzi will be pursued further?"
Mu Qingfeng waved his hand, "No need, a little girl, there is nothing to investigate, just persuade Your Majesty to send someone to investigate, if nothing else, the emperor list will be posted this afternoon, you send someone to keep an eye on the Cheng family for me, if they find Luo Niangzi first, be sure to find someone to delay her progress until Mrs. Cheng swallows her breath." ”
Mrs. Cheng swallowed her breath, and the later drama was easy to sing.
Mu Qingfeng shook the tea in the teacup and thought slowly.
