It turned out that when the crown prince heard that the Ten Princes and Lin Ruochen had returned to the capital safely, he hurriedly sent someone to the gate of the Xia Mansion, hoping to threaten Lin Ruochen by kidnapping Xia Chuyan. www.biquge.info But before Lin Ruochen showed up, he had already asked Hongzhi to take people to pay close attention to the movements of the Xia Mansion.

The killers sent by the prince were obviously well-trained, and in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Hongzhi decided to wait for the killers to take Xia Chuyan to a place where no one was around, and then he would rescue him.

However, Hongzhi underestimated the power of the prince after all, and the killers he sent out were all among the best masters, not only with the ability to defeat a hundred, but also with extremely sharp weapons. Although the people were rescued, Hongzhi's side also suffered heavy casualties, if it wasn't for Lin Ruochen temporarily sending Lao Qiao to reinforce, Hongzhi would probably have lost his legs at this time.

When Hongzhi thought about it, he regretted it, and felt that the serious deaths and injuries of the brothers were all caused by his improper command. "It's all my fault, I thought we were in the shadows, and it would be easy to get people out. But I didn't expect that the prince's side also made sufficient preparations. The responsibility for this is mine, and I am willing to accept the punishment. ”

Lin Ruochen patted Hongzhi on the shoulder, "This matter has nothing to do with you, this is my private matter, and I shouldn't have involved you in the first place." ”

Hongzhi knelt down, and blamed himself even more in his heart, he still had one more thing that he didn't have time to say, and now he was stuck in his throat and didn't know how to confide it.

"Do you still have something to hide from me?" Lin Ruochen looked at Hongzhi with a look of wanting to speak and stopped, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

Hongzhi hesitated, feeling that the sooner Lin Ruochen knew about this matter, the better, so he told what he knew in detail.

It turned out that when Xia Chuyan was kidnapped, her mother Ouyang Wanru happened to see it, and she was frightened and fainted on the spot. When Xia Chuyan was sent home by Hongzhi, Ouyang Wanru hadn't woken up yet, and the doctor prescribed medicine to feed her, but there was no improvement.

Lin Ruochen frowned, "In other words, Mrs. Xia is still in a coma!"

Hongzhi nodded, he didn't know how Ouyang Wanru suddenly fell unconscious, all this seemed too abnormal.

"Did Lord Xia invite the imperial doctor in the palace?"

Hongzhi shook his head, "Lord Xia doesn't like to be too close to the people in the palace, and now some people everywhere say that he is currying up with the prince, and if he is involved with anyone else, he will not have a clean life." ”

Lin Ruochen took out the token on his body, and wanted to ask Hongzhi to receive a imperial doctor in the palace, but he temporarily changed his mind. Perhaps, he shouldn't have too much contact with the people of the Xia family, and he will have more and more enemies in the future, in case these enemies threaten him with the people of the Xia family like the prince, then he will be too passive.

Lin Ruochen remembered that the county order was simple, maybe he should be allowed to enter the capital as an official, on the one hand, he could be his eyeliner, and on the other hand, because his superb medical skills were very useful here.

However, what if Simple doesn't like the capital? Lin Ruochen felt that in order to make Simple come to the capital as soon as possible, it was not impossible to use some tough measures.

The next day, Lin Ruochen entered the palace early to see the emperor, saying that he wanted to report to the emperor about the new things he encountered outside the palace. The emperor was looking for an opportunity to see Lin Ruochen's current position, and after hearing that Gonggong Wei said that Lin Ruochen asked to see him, he immediately welcomed Lin Ruochen into the side hall.

After the two sat down, Lin Ruochen deliberately talked about the simple things he met outside the palace, and firmly told the emperor that he could know whether a person was sick by simply looking at his face. Although Lin Ruochen had never seen a simple way to see a doctor, he felt that simplicity was more powerful than any imperial doctor in the palace. And Lin Ruochen's admiring tone made the emperor curious, and he couldn't wait to see what kind of master Jian Jian was.

"Is he really as good as you say?"

Lin Ruochen nodded, "His medical skills are the most powerful I've ever seen, but it's a pity ......"

The emperor was even more curious, "What is a pity?"

"It's a pity that he said that he would no longer treat people in this life, so when I had a cold, I could only go to the imperial doctor accompanying the Ten Princes. As for him, the minister really had no way to ask for help. ”

The emperor thought for a moment, and then asked Lin Ruochen with a smile, "You want to bring him here in my name, right?"

Lin Ruochen immediately knelt down, as if his mind was really seen through by the emperor.

"The emperor atoned for his sins, and the reason why the minister wanted to bring him into the palace was because his superb medical skills would definitely help the emperor and the masters in the palace. The imperial doctor in the palace was too careful in diagnosing and prescribing medicine, obviously it was a minor illness, but it would take a long time to cure, so the minister thought that the palace needed a new person. ”

The emperor nodded, although Lin Ruochen's words expressed his approval in his heart, it did not mean that he thought that simplicity was as powerful as Lin Ruochen said.

"I will send someone to bring him to the palace tomorrow, and as for whether he is qualified to become a imperial doctor, he still needs to speak with his ability. ”

Lin Ruochen told the emperor with certainty that simplicity would not disappoint him. The emperor is noncommittal about this, but he thinks that a country doctor, no matter how powerful he is, how powerful can he be?

After chatting for a while, the emperor talked about the purpose of the day.

"You say, if the crown prince and Lao Shi compete for the throne in the future, which of them do you think is more capable?"

Lin Ruochen's heart lit up, and he finally knew the emperor's true purpose today. After going around for a long time, I'm afraid this is the only thing the emperor really wants to ask, right?

Lin Ruochen paused deliberately, and then asked the emperor with a puzzled expression, "Who will be the emperor in the future, isn't it decided by the emperor and the civil and military officials?

The emperor nodded, "You are the king of the county, and your opinion is also very important!"

Lin Ruochen frowned, "I believe in your vision, the emperor, whoever you let be the emperor is the most capable person." Moreover, Your Majesty, you are as kind as a father, and I believe that you will live a long life!"

Lin Ruochen didn't say long live, but said that he lived a long life like ordinary people, which made the emperor feel warm in his heart, as if he was really a kind father who was talking to his children.

When the emperor's favor was revealed, Lin Ruochen knew that he had answered correctly, and the emperor was afraid that he would be too close to the ten princes. Or should it be said that the emperor was afraid that the princes and courtiers would be too close, and that they would plot together to usurp the throne.

However, the emperor's concerns are obviously not superfluous, because what Lin Ruochen and the Ten Princes are planning now is how to eradicate the crown prince and inherit the throne openly.

When Lin Ruochen left the palace, he brought out two people from the palace, one was the imperial doctor who Lin Ruochen asked to come out to diagnose and treat Ouyang Wanru, and the other was Gonggong Wei next to the emperor.
