Chapter Ninety-Three
Just seven or eight days after the Sun family lived in the palace, Qi You rushed to take Su Wen to visit Prime Minister Liu Cheng's mansion in person one day, this is the first time Qi You went to visit the sick Prime Minister Liu Cheng alone, this just arrived at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion and was surprised by the battle of more than 20 people outside the gate, what is the situation, a prime minister is no matter how high and powerful he is, he can't be so disregarding the rules, this is the palace gate guard, like his palace gate guards are also twelve people in the rules, and it is two shifts, This Liu Mansion is really interesting, such an obvious transgression is not afraid of the imperial history to participate in him.
Qi You didn't come in the sedan chair of the palace today, he was dressed in an ordinary dress and was now standing at the door of Prime Minister Liu Cheng with Su Wen and the silver snake, and the silver snake went up directly to the little guy at the door and said: "Lord Yong came to visit Prime Minister Liu Cheng, and he didn't hurry up to report it." ”
The little maid guarding the door was replaced after Aunt Mei took charge of the housework, he had never seen what Prince Yong looked like, this time he said coldly that Lord Yong was visiting, and he looked at Qi You with some suspicion: "I'm sorry, I haven't seen Lord Wangye, plus the master of the house told him not to disturb him, so you see?" ”
The silver snake raised the corners of his mouth slightly disdainfully and said, "Which master of your family said that?" ”
The little guy raised his head and said, "Mrs. May said." ”
The silver snake glanced at Qi You helplessly and said, "Lord Wang, Mrs. Mei of the people's mansion ordered not to see outsiders. ”
Qi You smiled: "Yes, this king made a special trip to visit his uncle, why am I also an outsider?" ”
The little guy was a little unsure when he saw that Qi You was dressed in ordinary clothes but full of luxury, in fact, it wasn't that he deliberately stopped him from entering, but Mrs. Mei, that is, Aunt Mei ordered that no one should disturb him, and last time he was scolded for the return of the household servant, and now he doesn't dare to go back lightly.
The little guy was in trouble, but it happened that the housekeeper of Liu's Mansion happened to come out to procure, and as soon as he got out of the side door, he saw King Yong standing at the gate of the house with two young people, so he hurriedly greeted him and said: "Oh, I don't know if Lord Yong has arrived, and the little one is far away." ”
Qi You saw that it was the chief butler of Liu's mansion, so he said politely: "It turned out to be Liu's housekeeper, you are so angry in this mansion, I still ask for someone at the door when a prince visits?" ”
Butler Liu hurriedly smiled and apologized: "Don't be surprised, these dogs don't stop the prince's way if they don't have long eyes, in fact, it shouldn't be like this, but this lady has been living in the palace for almost ten days, and now the entire mansion is managed by Aunt Mei, these are the people of Aunt Mei's family, I haven't seen any table at all, please don't be surprised if you offend the prince." Saying that, the housekeeper Liu scolded angrily: "You are such blind dog-eyed things, and you don't look at which master is standing at the door, this is our Yongwang Lord, you have eaten the ambition leopard and have no guts, so you don't hurry up to open the door and welcome the prince in." ”
The little maid on the side knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the sin when he heard the housekeeper say this: "It's the little one who is blind to the dog's eyes, and I ask the prince to forgive me." ”
Qi You didn't have time to worry about these minions, so he directly entered Liu's mansion under the leadership of the housekeeper, and a small servant hurriedly ran in to inform the prince of his visit, and the big housekeeper Liu was afraid that the chaotic appearance in this mansion would snub the prince Yong, so he first ordered others to do things first, and stayed in the mansion to serve the prince first.
Aunt Mei was taken aback when she received the news and said, "Where is the prince now?" ”
The little servant replied: "Steward Liu has already welcomed the prince in, and this time he should be in the main hall of the front hall." ”
Aunt Mei asked again, "Is the prince alone?" ”
The little guy said: "There are two more attendants." ”
Aunt Mei instructed: "You go down first, I'll come back to the master." ”
In the main hall, Butler Liu was talking with Qi You, and Aunt Mei came in a flashy manner, Steward Liu didn't know what to say when she saw her like this, it's really that you have to be a concubine to look like a lady, hey, it's just wishful thinking, look at what you are like now.
Aunt Mei saluted when she saw Qi You and said, "The concubine has seen Lord Yong." ”
Qi You frowned and looked at the housekeeper Liu questioningly, and the housekeeper said clearly: "Ah, Lord Wang, this is the master's concubine Aunt Mei." ”
Qi You raised his eyebrows and said: "Steward Liu, you Liu Cheng Mansion is getting better and better, I am a prince, you will send a concubine to greet you, fortunately, this king is coming in casual clothes today, otherwise there will be a royal history to visit your master." ”
Butler Liu pulled Aunt Mei and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Please also ask the prince to calm his anger, this is not a lady, she has not come back after entering the palace, and the lord is sick again, so he neglected the prince, and asked the prince to forgive him." ”
"Okay, this king is here to visit Prime Minister Liu Cheng today, and I don't have the heart to worry about you, so I will directly lead this king to see your master." Qi You said coldly.
Steward Liu glared at Aunt Mei fiercely and said, "Aunt Mei doesn't need to trouble you here, I'll just take the prince to see the master." ”
Aunt Mei herself still wanted to pretend to be able to pretend in front of the prince, but she couldn't steal the chicken and offended the prince, and she could only pinch it down, and Steward Liu breathed a sigh of relief and led Qi You through the front hall and atrium to the room where Liu Cheng was recuperating, and said: "The prince has arrived, you wait for a while before the slave goes in and responds." ”
The silver snake muttered: "Hey, this Prime Minister Liu is such a big identity, it's really not easy for us to see Prime Minister Liu Cheng." ”
Qi You looked at him and shook his head with a smile, and after a while, Steward Liu came out and welcomed Qi You and the three of them in and said, "Lord Wang, our master has been much better recently, but the imperial doctor ordered him not to see the wind, so he passed through the veil, and asked the prince to forgive me." ”
Qi You said with a smile: "Since the imperial doctor has instructions, this king can naturally understand, and it just so happens that this king also brought an imperial doctor when he came, so let's give Prime Minister Liu Cheng another pulse." ”
Steward Liu flattered: "It's still the prince who cares about our master, the prince is here, please, lord, Lord Yong is here." ”
A voice came from behind the layers of gauze tents: "It is an honor for the old minister to visit, and I ask the prince to forgive the old minister's body for not being able to greet you in person." ”
Qi You said: "It's okay, your body is important." ”
Liu Ba said: "The housekeeper hurriedly showed the prince a seat, and hurriedly served tea." ”
Qi You smiled and said: "Don't worry, this king came this time to see how Lord Liu's condition is, you have been sick for several months, and the emperor and courtiers are very worried." ”
Liu Ba said: "It's all the old ministers who are not angry on their own, and the emperor and the princes are worried, what a sin." ”
Qi You sat on the chair and said, "It's just right, this king has brought a royal doctor, so let's go in and help you take the pulse." ”
Liu Ba knew that he couldn't hide, so he said: "It's troublesome enough that the imperial doctor will come to help the old minister take his pulse every day, how dare you bother the prince to bring someone over in person." ”
Qi You said: "Don't bother, let's see that this king is at ease!" After speaking, he didn't wait for Liu Ba to reply, and directly let Su Wen in.
Su Wen came out after a quarter of an hour and said, "Prime Minister Liu Cheng's pulse seems to be much better, but there are still some deficiencies, and it will be good to take care of it for a few more days." ”
Qi You said: "In this case, Prime Minister Liu Cheng has to take care of it!" ”
Liu Ba said: "No, the imperial doctor also said so, although the old minister is worried about the affairs of the DPRK and China, but now he is also powerless." ”
Qi You smiled: "It's okay, as long as Prime Minister Liu takes care of it, he will recover soon, since he knows that you are almost better, this king is relieved, by the way, there is one thing that this king has to remind his uncle." ”
Liu Ba said respectfully: "What is the matter with the prince?" ”
Qi You said: "It's just a common thing, uncle should invite your aunt back quickly, your Aunt Mei will be so tossed again, I'm afraid that the imperial historians will be busy." ”
Liu Ba said embarrassedly: "Hey, it's all the old minister who is sick and confused, there has been some chaos in the house these days, and the old minister will send someone to pick up his wife and her back, thank you for mentioning it." ”
Qi You said: "This family and harmony are the main thing, okay, it's not too early today, so I won't disturb your cultivation, this king is leaving." ”
Liu Ba hurriedly asked Steward Liu to personally send Qi You out of the house, and then instructed him: "Tomorrow, you will personally bring someone to the palace to invite Mrs. back, this Aunt Mei really can't take care of things." ”
Of course Steward Liu is willing, this lady is a mess in this house, he can only manage the outer courtyard as a housekeeper, but he can't say anything about the inner courtyard at all, the house is called a mess these days, today is the prince of Yong does not care, if he encounters a difficult outsider, this will definitely be a loss of people in the house. This Aunt Mei really doesn't know how thick the sky is, if she waits for Mrs. to come back and see how she explains.
After Qi You visited Liu Ba, he went directly back to the mansion to the study, and he asked, "How is he?" ”
Su Wen said with a straight face: "The pulse is indeed like what the imperial doctor in the palace said, just use a little internal force to probe to find flaws, if he is not wrong, he is using Jiuyin powder to control his condition." ”
The silver snake said with a disgusted face: "This Nine Yin Powder doesn't sound like a good thing. ”
Su Wen continued: "This Nine Yin Powder was originally a mixed medicinal material used by the Taoist refining pill, and later it was quenched by people with unscrupulous hearts to become the most secret kind of medicinal powder in the rivers and lakes, taking this medicine can cause the illusion of serious illness and it is not easy to detect, even if the most powerful doctor does not have a certain internal force, he can't find it, Liu Ba is afraid that it is the dosage on demand, so he will suddenly become seriously ill and the doctor is helpless, during this time, he slowly reduces the measurement to show the status quo of slow recovery, But after all, this nine yin powder is a blindly evil drug, and it will still cause some harm to the body. ”
The silver snake was puzzled: "Isn't it just pretending to be sick, so you can use such hard work?" ”
Qi You said: "This is his cleverness, pretending to be sick is in danger of being discovered at any time, it is better to explain it to the emperor if he is really sick, but I wonder how you found out?" ”
Su asked, "Taste!" ”
Qi You was puzzled: "Taste, could it be that this medicine has a special taste, but why didn't I smell it?" ”
The silver snake also nodded, "yes, I didn't smell it either." ”
Su Wen smiled: "It's not that you didn't smell it, but you didn't notice it, as long as you take Jiuyin powder, the human body will naturally have a daughter's fragrance, which is different from any flower and grass fragrance, do you remember the aunt who came out to greet us?" ”
The silver snake nodded, "Don't you remember!" ”
Su asked, "Then you can also smell the extremely strong fragrance of begonia flowers emanating from her." ”
The silver snake said: "Ao, what kind of smell should I think it is, it turned out to be the fragrance of begonia flowers, but the smell is too strange." ”
Su asked: "The incense should be light and elegant, and if it is too strong, it will produce a bitter or foul smell, and Liu Chengxiang should not smell such a strong smell in his illness, but Aunt Mei used a very heavy incense powder to serve on the side, so I became suspicious, and sure enough, I found out the taste of Jiuyin powder." ”
