Chapter 14: The Visitation of the Deceased

The person surnamed Qu that Yuan Ziqing knew was full of calculations, and he was just that.

He was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly rejoiced, "Could it be that Uncle Shi is here?" Qingyun, go and take a look, if so, please come in! ”

"This uncle is ......," King Fu said suspiciously.

Yuan Ziqing said, "Dad, you forgot, who cured my body?" ”

King Fu was taken aback, "He said that he was a miracle doctor, and he was the elder of your daughter-in-law......"

"Yes, it's Uncle Qu Shi. He and his father-in-law are good friends, and he has no relatives, so he treats his eyebrows like his own daughter. If it weren't, they wouldn't have risked treating me. Yuan Ziqing said excitedly, "The body on the side of the eyebrows is about to recuperate, and Uncle Shi is here at the right time." And the purse, you don't have to bother others. ”

"I'm afraid I learned the news and came to the door on purpose, right?" Zhou Yingyue said softly, "How can there be so many coincidences. I think that Doctor Qu has been paying attention to the news of his sister-in-law. ”

Yuan Ziqing remembered the letter he had received earlier. Indeed, if you don't know exactly what is going on next to your eyebrows, you can't give something that is so symptomatic. It's just that at that time, he didn't believe that Qu Kuan would come to the capital. Now it seems that he may know that he is pregnant, and he has already come. It's just that for some reason, he didn't show up.

He thought for a while and said, "Uncle Shi has always been reluctant to come to the capital, and he seems to be quite worried. What he is doing today, we must not proclaim. ”

King Fu said, "Just think of your daughter-in-law's relatives as a visit." It was inconvenient for outsiders to know about this matter. "If anyone knows that the emperor may have done something to their family, I'm afraid the sky in this capital will be turned upside down.

After reaching this tacit understanding, everyone relaxed a little. Qu Kuan appeared at the right time, and the purse that was originally in an impasse must not be difficult for him. Even though I really know the result, I can't do anything for the time being. But it seems that everyone's hearts have calmed down all of a sudden.

The emperor's move is a signal: a signal that will not die.

In this case, they no longer have to be tied down.

After a while, Qu Kuan was brought by Qingyun, and Yuan Ziqing went to greet him in person, and then instructed Qingyun to keep their mouths shut when they knew Qu Kuan. Fortunately, he was able to follow him out, and his tone was naturally very strict, and the matter of Qu Kuanlai did not alarm a few people, and for a while, the news could not be spread.

Qu Kuan first greeted King Fu and the princess. The appearance of his immortal wind bones made the two of them feel much better, and his heart was indeed worthy of being a miracle doctor.

Then he went in to check the pulse of the eyebrows.

As soon as his hand was put on it, his face sank. Princess Fu couldn't help but worry when she saw this, "Mr. Qu, could it be that there are any hidden dangers in her body?" ”

Qu Kuan didn't speak, he checked both hands, and then said, "It's a big loss." Fortunately, I am here, otherwise it would have been delayed. After a pause, he added, "Did you take tonic medicine when you gave birth?" ”

"I've drunk a cup of Ganoderma lucidum tea." Yuan Ziqing said immediately.

Zhou Yingyue also added, "Half of the parameters were also used." ”

Qu Kuan thought of the two ginseng he had seen, and he knew what grade this lingzhi and ginseng were. couldn't help nodding and said, "It's a pity, but the loss is to make up for it in time, otherwise there will be some trouble." Now I'm going to make a plan...... Is there still a Ganoderma lucidum? I made a medicinal diet, and the warm supplement was the best. ”

"Yes, yes!" Xingyun nodded hurriedly.

Yuan Ziqing asked Qu Kuan to go out and write a recipe. Qu Kuan patted his head on the side of his eyebrows, "Girl, since Uncle Shi is here, you can rest assured." I will raise you as you were. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Shi." The tip of his nose on the side of his eyebrows was sour, but he kept in mind that he couldn't cry during the confinement and that he would fall ill, so he had to try to keep his eyes open, "Since you're here, let's stay for a while!" ”

Qu Kuan didn't answer her words, told her to relax, and got up and left.

After writing the recipe, Yuan Ziqing took out the purse and asked him to see it.

Qu Kuan sniffed it, and said that the purse had been soaked in a special herb, and it could be worn regularly to clear the heart.

This result was a surprise to everyone. Could it be that the eldest princess of Qinghe is really a good heart?

However, without waiting for them to exchange this question, Qu Kuan said again, "It's just that this medicine can't be mixed with another important one, otherwise it will make people temporarily weak, and at the same time activate qi and blood." Occasionally, it is used by doctors to administer anesthesia to patients who need to sprain and dislocate orthopedic manage. And there is no other harm. ”

"That'...... What if you are pregnant? Yuan Ziqing asked cautiously.

Qu Kuan immediately frowned, "That girl used this medicine?" ”

"This purse is always worn on the body, and it is difficult to say whether it is another important one." Yuan Ziqing said matter-of-factly, "It's just doubt." Because she couldn't exert her strength when she gave birth, almost ...... Didn't make it. ”

"Then there must be no doubt!" Qu Kuan said, "You go and ask that girl, has the other party given her anything to eat?" ”

Yuan Ziqing asked again, and only then did he remember that someone had indeed eaten for him. But it's not the eldest princess of Qinghe, she has always wanted to have something to do with this person before, but she ignored anything else.

"It's Princess Songping." "She was eating jelly beans, and I thought it was funny, so she asked me to try it." I think she'll eat it too, and she'll be fine, and besides, a small jelly bean won't be a problem. And he ate it. ”

"Song Ping came with Aunt Qinghe." Motoko said.

There is no need to ask now, it must be the meaning of the emperor. Otherwise, whether it is Princess Songping or the eldest princess of Qinghe, there is no need to attack the Fuwang Mansion.

Qu Kuan guessed a little bit of meaning, so he stopped talking.

Of course, he didn't bother with what happened to him, but after all, this was a major event in the Fuwang Mansion, and there was no room for him to intervene. The king is the king, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. Even if the Fu Wangfu wants to resist, what can it do?

Things are clear, but what to do next, there is no clue for the time being. So everyone dispersed, so that the eyebrows could take care of their bodies.

Before King Fu left, he invited Qu Kuan to stay in the mansion for a few more days. Qu Kuan said that he would take care of her eyebrows until the confinement was born, and her body would be almost restored at that time. King Fu told Yuan Ziqing to go to his place after arranging a qiē before leaving.

Yuan Ziqing said to Qu Kuan at this time, "Unexpectedly, Uncle Shi really came to the capital." I should have thought of it when I got the letter. It's a shame that Uncle Shi is here, otherwise I don't know how this matter will end. ”

Facing Yuan Ziqing, Qu Kuan was not so polite, "Let me ask you, what is going on?" ”

"Uncle Shi must have guessed a thing or two. Ever since my body was healed, I've been moving around the palace a lot. Now ......" said this, and he stopped.

Qu Kuan didn't ask either, smart people don't need to say every sentence when they speak, it's best to let the other party understand it by themselves. He thought for a moment before he said, "If that's the case, even if you can dodge it this time, it will be difficult in the future." "Even if the Fu Wangfu knew that it was the emperor who did it? Can they still rebel?

Yuan Ziqing said, "This matter is already a little eyebrow-raising, but I'm afraid I have to ask Uncle Shi for help." ”

"Well, I'm here to help. If there's anything, just say it. Qu Kuan said, "Let's not talk about that for now, take me to see the child." ”

"Okay." At the mention of the child, the expression on Yuan Ziqing's face immediately soared, "Because of this incident, the house is busy and chaotic, and I don't care about naming the child for a while." I used to think of girls' names, why don't you ask Uncle Shi to give me a name? ”

He was also justified in saying that. The names are given by the elders, and unless the elders feel that they can't get a good name, or the person they want to ask for is of a higher status and more prestige, they will not give up this power.

For example, the farmer in the village asked Xiucai to help choose a name, firstly, Xiucai was literary and the name was good, and secondly, Xiucai had a meritorious name, and his children might be able to get a little bit of literary atmosphere, and they would also be reading materials in the future. The same is true for other places.

A family like Fu Wangfu, unless it is given by the emperor, ordinary people will not have the opportunity to name Yuan Ziqing's child. But Qu Kuan, who is an elder on the side of the eyebrows, has appeared in time and helped a lot, so Yuan Ziqing has this invitation.

Qu Kuan refused without hesitation, "The name is naturally chosen by the prince." If you really have a heart, I will give him a milk name and ask for good luck. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Shi." Yuan Ziqing said immediately.

The two entered the suite where the nurse and the child lived, and Huang'er hurriedly greeted him and said in a low voice, "Shizi, Mr. Qu, the little boy is asleep." ”

"I'll go in and have a look." Qu Kuan said and walked in, and Yuan Ziqing hurriedly followed. But seeing Qu Kuan's fast steps, he didn't make a sound at all, and walked to the cradle. Then he bent down, reached out and felt the child's pulse, then checked his facial features and limbs, and then straightened up.

After withdrawing, Qu Kuan groaned slightly, and said, "This child is blessed, his limbs are strong, and the five officials are positive, but the child's family may not be able to hold it down." It is difficult for everything in the world to be perfect, and it is not good for him to take it all. It's better to call it Xiao Jiu. ”

"Thank you Uncle Shi for the name." Yuan Ziqing agreed very simply.

Turning around, he went to Meibian and said, "I asked Uncle Shi to give the child a name, called Xiao Jiu." ”

Mei Pan was surprised, "Why is it called such a name?" When outsiders heard this, they thought he was the ninth child. "How capable of giving birth to her should be?

"Uncle Shi said that it is difficult to be perfect in the world, and if you give the rest of it to others, you will be called Xiao Jiu." Yuan Ziqing smiled on his face, "It's a good name." ”

"No, even if there is one point left, he will account for nine points. But how can there be such a good thing in this world? I think it's okay to call it a little four and a little five. Meibian said, "After calling this Xiao Jiu, I'm afraid that it will be passed into the palace, and it will make people think more." ”

"That's right." Yuan Ziqing pondered for a moment, and suddenly clapped his palm, "I know, it's called four or five, and it's still nine together, how about it?" ”

"It's just weird." Meibian imagined for a moment, if the child made a mistake in the future, Yuan Ziqing reprimanded him with a stern face, "Four or five, you kneel down for me!" I cried on the side, "Mother's four or five, why is your father so ruthless...... "I always feel weird."

"Let's call it Xiao Jiu." She immediately changed her tune.

Even if it is remembered by the palace, it is still much better than that unreliable name.

So it was only yesterday that the first person of the fourth generation of Fuwangfu was officially named Xiao Jiu. Of course, when King Fu vacates his time, he will presumably give him an official name. But there's no hurry, just take it before he enlightens.

Anyway, King Fu himself is Zongzheng Siqing, and it is very convenient to go on the jade plate whenever he wants, so he doesn't have to hurry.

After arranging the things in the courtyard, Yuan Ziqing went to Chengqing Garden. Yuan Zifang was already there, and when King Fu saw that he was also coming, he said, "Calling your brother over is something to discuss." He took a brown paper bag from the table and handed it to Yuan Ziqing, "Take a look." ”

Yuan Ziqing opened it and found that it was all pulse cases, he handed it to Yuan Zifang after reading it, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Dad, which one is this?" ”

"Yes." King Fu nodded, "The last month." ”

"I can't see anything in the pulse." Yuan Zifang said, "This diagnosis is quite interesting. ”

It is recorded on the pulse case that the emperor has been unable to eat and drink recently, and it has been difficult to sleep for a long time. It's just that the hospital looked over and over again, but didn't find out what the cause was, so I didn't dare to prescribe a prescription, so I had to drag it out like this.

Thinking about the last few times he saw the emperor, he did seem to be a little haggard than before.

King Fu said to Yuan Ziqing, "Which Mr. Qu do you want to ask to help see what kind of illness it is." ”

"Okay." Yuan Ziqing put away the pulse case. His father told him to burn it quickly after reading it, and then let him leave.

When everyone was gone, he sat down at his desk and couldn't help but sigh again. At this point, the relationship between him and the emperor can be regarded as completely broken, and the reason why he hasn't torn his face is probably just the elder who is worried about the head on his head.

It's just that since last year, the Queen Mother's body has been getting worse day by day, and no one can say how long it can last.

For the sake of this big family, King Fu also had to make plans early. It's just that when I think about the brotherhood in the past, it's hard to avoid sadness. Could it be that in the royal family, for that position, there are really no brothers to speak of? When you don't sit up, you should beware of each other's hind legs, compete to sit up, and do whatever it takes to do so. When you sit down, you still have to beware of others snatching it again.

Loner...... Around the emperor, can't he tolerate a little sincerity?

……

Yuan Ziqing returned to the Hidden Bamboo Garden with a brown paper bag, and went directly to find Qu Kuan.

Qu Kuan didn't have any doubts about the pulse case he took out, and after reading it, he gave it back to him, and only said two words: "Curable." ”

However, Yuan Ziqing did not ask him how to treat it, but asked: "What will happen if it is not treated?" ”

"If you are sick in your internal organs, you will be rescued by medicine."

Yuan Ziqing's eyes flickered, and he asked after a while, "Then according to Uncle Shi, how long does the patient have left?" ”

Qu Kuan pondered for a moment and said, "If it is not cured, it will only be within a year or two." ”

Rao is Yuan Ziqing was mentally prepared, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air. This pulse case, just like Qu Kuan, came at the right time. What they are worried about now is nothing more than the emperor's attitude, will he still be able to tolerate the Fuwang Mansion for a while, or will he already want to get rid of it soon?

I still need to guess before, after all, if the emperor can live for ten years, it is a matter of course to suppress the Fu Wangfu, even if he has to deal with this matter, he will not be in a hurry, they can calmly prepare to deal with it. But if the emperor only has a year or two, then from now on, it is time to pave the way for the new emperor in the future.

Can he still allow the Fu Wangfu to continue to exist? This is no longer a matter of whether the emperor is jealous of the Fu Wangfu. - Even if King Fu is loyal to the emperor, what about the new emperor? Suddenly ascended to a high position at a young age, can he suppress this imperial uncle?

It's like all the emperors throughout the ages who have killed the hard-working ministers of the humerus in order to pave the way for their children and grandchildren. Pull out all the thorns, and then you can rest assured that you will hand him over to future generations.

"Uncle Shi......" Yuan Ziqing couldn't help but hesitate a little.

Qu Kuan waved his hand, "I just read a pulse case today, and I don't know anything else." Please rest assured. For the sake of my niece, I won't be confused. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Shi." Yuan Ziqing took a deep breath, and then hurriedly said goodbye. This news was so unexpected that he had to hurry up and sue Emperor Sù. But halfway through, he suddenly remembered another thing, "Uncle Shi, who else can cure this disease besides you?" ”

"I don't know." Qu Kuan said truthfully, "There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky, and I don't know if there are still others who can see it." Moreover, the practice of medicine is based on experience, and some people may not know what the disease is or what the cause of the pathological disease is, but they can cure it. It's like a folk ancestral recipe. ”

Is it possible that such a person appeared by chance and could cure the emperor's disease, no one can say.

But although these words seem to be modest, they have already put his attitude out: no one in the world who knows can be cured. The reason why he didn't say it was because there might be people he didn't know. Or maybe God just thinks that the emperor's life should not be extinguished, and then he will be cured inexplicably, it is not impossible.

So instead of worrying about this, Yuan Ziqing's eyebrows stretched a lot, "Thank you, Uncle Shi." Then I'll quit first. I have people waiting outside the courtyard, and if you have anything, do not hesitate to tell me. If there's something you're hard to decide, let someone tell me. ”

However, coming out of Qu Kuan, Yuan Ziqing thought for a long time, and did not immediately go to King Fu, but went to his study first, asked someone to send a brazier over, and burned all the pulse cases one by one. While burning it, he thought that when it was all burned, he would have a decision in his heart.

The emperor's illness came too quickly and so quickly that they were unprepared. But is the emperor himself prepared? He is not worried about the Fuwang Mansion, and may take this opportunity to see them cut off, but for the Fuwang Mansion, this crisis is not a huge turning point?

Once the alternation of the old and new regimes was overcome, and the three princes were successfully supported to ascend to the throne, the shape of the time would be completely different from what it is now.

Originally, if the emperor had more than ten years to live, the Fu Wangfu would have to seriously consider how to solve the upcoming crisis, but if it was only one or two years, it would be much easier.

After thinking about it, Yuan Ziqing opened the doors and windows and asked people to go in and clean up the brazier. I went to the main room, first looked at the children, then looked at the eyebrows, and finally turned around and went to the Kirin Temple. When he and Yuan Zifang went to Chengqing Garden together, King Fu knew when he saw the expressions of the two.

He asked, "Decided?" ”

"It's decided." Yuan Zifang said, "Dad, even God is on our side this time, if we don't make up our minds, maybe we will miss the opportunity again." ”

yes, again. Because more than ten years ago, King Fu also had the opportunity to sit in that position. However, at that time, he was worried about brotherhood, and Yuan Ziqing had an accident later, so he shared a lot of thoughts, so it was the current emperor who was pushed up in the end. Otherwise, it is not them who should be worried now.

Of course, if the original outcome had not been the same, perhaps none of these things would have happened today.

It doesn't make sense to assume, but when another opportunity arises in front of him, does he not hesitate to reach out and seize it?

"That's it, I'm old, since you've decided on these things, let's do them." King Fu said, "Tell me about your plans." ”

"I should send a letter to His Royal Highness the Third Prince." Yuan Ziqing said, "After going out for more than a year, it is time for him to return to Beijing." ”

The law that the clan cannot leave Beijing without a summons is also applicable to the prince. The third prince is now in Haizhou, and he is under the emperor's order. But without the emperor's permission, he could not leave Haizhou and go anywhere.

Yuan Ziqing said this, and the meaning was already very clear.

"How much longer?" Father asked.

Yuan Ziqing gave Qu Kuan an an answer, "Within a year or two." ”

This is actually too broad, but for the sake of insurance, it should only be within a year. In this way, it is not too early to start preparing now. However, on the side of the third prince, he can arrange it calmly, leaving no traces and handles.

King Fu thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to rush too much. "As long as you can show up at the palace in time for an accident, it's fine. If you move too much and are detected in advance, you may be in danger.

"Dad, don't worry." Yuan Ziqing said, "I think no one will pay attention to the Third Highness when the time comes." ”

"Huh?" King Fu looked at him with some confusion, "What else is the matter?" ”

"Now the war in the west is stalemate, almost all the troops that the DPRK and China can invest have been invested, and the garrison of the capital is empty." Yuan Ziqing said slowly, as if every word that came out of his mouth was powerful.

King Fu's eyebrows raised slightly, "What do you mean......?" ”

"The emperor has been dissatisfied with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time, and has recently been abolished. Come to think of it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not sit still. If he had known that His Majesty would have died soon, he would have done something. ”

He actually wanted to incite the prince to rebel!
