Zhao Xiu didn't know that after he left, so many things happened in the Guangping Palace. When he returned home, the people from the Internal Affairs Office had just sent over a batch of old things from the Hou Mansion, and his brother Zhao Wei was talking to the petty official.

Zhao Xiu remembered the instructions of Princess Zhong of Guangping, and kept an eye on it, so he asked her to show her the list of items sent by the Internal Affairs Office. Needless to say, she hadn't seen any of the things on it, but it was still okay to recognize things according to the list. Things are now piled up in the upper room of the main courtyard, and the large pieces of furniture are directly placed in the courtyard in the open air, guarded by several family members, Zhao Wei didn't have time to count them at all, Zhao Xiu simply took the list and looked at it.

This inventory really counted a lot of problems. For example, a pair of blue and white colorful elephant ear bottles on the list can't be found at all, and compared with the sticks hanging on the objects, they actually become a pair of plain three-color bottles; The red bottle of Xuandeji in the former Ming Dynasty on the list, but the real thing is a red glazed bottle imitated by the people of this dynasty, and the difference in value is more than a hundred times? Other such as precious white jade ornaments become ordinary jade carvings, antique calligraphy and painting become paintings of the same theme of the current dynasty genius, etc., not to mention, the most outrageous thing is that the list is written that the emperor gave the old county a pair of big red coral ornaments before his death, the real thing is only one foot high, where is this "big"? The Ministry of Internal Affairs wouldn't have said that the coral, which was obviously dyed and dyed incorrectly, was "bright red", so there was no mistake? Although the first emperor started as a small military attaché, it does not mean that people will reward meritorious heroes after becoming emperors.

Everything else can be endured, because it's just a discount in value, but because it's the Zhao family's personal belongings. It's easy to say, but this imperial gift is not the right version, and it is going to kill people! What if the emperor asks to see this thing in the future? How can the Zhao family get it?

Zhao Xiu wrote a note. Asked the little guy to quietly hand it over to Zhao Wei.

Zhao Wei took the note and glanced at it, paused in his hand, and did not show any traces, and when the greetings were over, he smiled and asked the official of the Internal Affairs Office to hand over the things according to the list of items. Obviously, everything has been sent to the Zhao family and placed down, and now it is guarded by the Zhao family's subordinates, even if it has been handed over. Suddenly, he said that he wanted to order things according to the list, and the official had a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, in the next time. Zhao Wei very quickly found several places where the goods were not in order, especially the pair of coral ornaments, and he showed a look of "you are playing with me" to the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs: "When I was a child, I remember that this pair of things was very big, as high as my grandfather's waist." The color is also a bit redder. I don't want it to shrink to such a small size after ten years, and the basin has been replaced. ”

The official secretly wiped his sweat and said with a dry smile: "This must be their mistake, I will ask someone to go back and investigate!" "In less than an hour, the original goods were delivered, along with a few other items that were more expensive but not too conspicuous. But that's not all on the list, and the official told the truth: "Many have been damaged or lost." I can't get it back. "In fact, it may not be damaged or lost, who would have thought that the Zhao family would have a day to rise? Not to mention that the emperor will decree that all the items seized by his family will be returned.

Zhao Wei smiled and said, "It was my own thing." In the middle, it is a seizure and a raid, and it is common for some damage to be damaged, as long as it is corrected on the list, otherwise it will be checked in the future, and the things will not be right, and there will be many incidents. The official responded, and hurriedly returned to the Internal Affairs Office to ask people to change the list. After that, if you send something, you don't dare to do anything unless you really can't take it out.

When the people left, Zhao Wei said to Zhao Xiu: "Fortunately, my sister is vigilant, otherwise I would have fooled them." He was a little annoyed in his heart: "Just because there is no one in our family in the court, even if we have the credit of saving the prince, we have to suffer such anger!" ”

Zhao Xiu comforted him and said: "My brother has made great contributions now and has regained the title, and the prince will ascend the throne in the future, and it will be even more Jane in the emperor's heart, are you afraid that there will be no day in the future?" Who else will give our family anger at that time? Seeing that Zhao Wei's face looked better, he changed the topic again: "In fact, it was Princess Guangping who reminded me, and Brother Zhen also told me that King Guangping instructed in the palace that when the things that were seized in the past were returned to our family, the missing part may be made up with the things seized from Zhao Jue's house, and even the private property that his family later purchased, such as Zhuangzi field shops and the like, and there may even be dowries from the Niu family and the Jiang family." ”

Zhao Wei frowned: "Who wants their things?" so that they will know, and they will be cheeky again. ”

Zhao Xiu smiled: "Even if they want to entangle, it is impossible to return the things, this is a gift, it is the emperor's grace, they have the ability to call the emperor to the board." ”

Zhao Wei frowned: "That's right, we just want to receive the emperor's favor, as for where the emperor got it, what does it have to do with us?" ”

He asked about Princess Guangping's condition again, and Zhao Xiu said with some concern: "I think she has more heart disease, and she always can't think about it." In fact, why is it so painful? The emperor and the crown prince are willing to let the Zhong family go, most likely because they don't want to make King Guangping's face too ugly, no matter what, it is always King Guangping's Yue family, but they didn't indulge the Zhong family, didn't they let them resign and go back to their hometown? As long as the princess is in good health and lives well with the family of King Guangping and Gao Zhen, the emperor's and the prince's intentions will not be in vain. The princess always felt sorry for the royal family, but she didn't mean to refuse the emperor's favor and let her mother's family be punished according to law, so what's the point of being depressed alone? ”

Zhao Wei sighed: "How easy is this to say? We are irrelevant outsiders, the bystanders are clear, but as far as the princess is concerned, on the one hand, she is her husband and children, and on the other hand, she is the biological mother, brothers, nephews and nieces who are close to each other, even if the Zhong family does too much, she may not be able to be ruthless enough to watch her relatives die. But the princess is a decent person, knowing that the Zhong family did something wrong and deserved to be punished, seeing that they just lost their officials, but they had to save their lives, and even returned to their hometown to be a rich man with dignity, they naturally felt that they had taken advantage of it. The Zhong family still feels that it is insufficient, and there are many requirements, how can she not be angry in her heart? ”

Zhao Xiu shook his head: "The Zhong family is a dog skin plaster, as long as she can make up her mind to remove it, the Zhong family naturally has no opportunity to take advantage of it." It does not involve the life of the family. If you want to get rid of a marriage, there are ways to get rid of it. Will it be pretending to be sick? Will it be disfigured? Will you become a monk? Even if it's pretending to be dead! The Zhong family didn't ask to come to the door. According to me, as long as the princess can be ruthless and say that she does not dare to disobey the holy will, the Guangping royal family has a great cause, can't she stop a few people who don't want to see her from coming to the door? Even if you are worried about your reputation, who will hold grievances against those suspected of rebellion? Even if a few idlers talk, just don't hear it. There will always be people who will pick the bones in the eggs of the saints. I don't want to care, but I can't rest assured, and I don't want to completely draw the line. Only then will the Zhong family feel that there is still hope. For example, this time, if one or two people died in the Zhong family, would his family still think that the prince and princess would help them? Seriously, I think it's okay if the daughter of the Zhong family doesn't marry the Marquis of Sanyin. When she gets married, she really becomes a royal daughter-in-law. If the prince treats the Marquis of Shanyin well in the future, he will inevitably give the Zhong family another chance to jump; If the prince wants to clean up the Marquis of Shanyin in the future, will the Zhong family bother Princess Guangping for their daughter and son-in-law? ”

Zhao Wei thought about that situation, and also felt a headache: "It's really troublesome." It seems that in the future, who our family wants to marry must be checked in advance, and we can't think that this family is a good person because the other party's head is reliable, and it must be a person with good conduct. ”

Zhao Xiu covered his mouth and smiled: "Isn't it?" When my brother marries his sister-in-law in the future. But you have to keep your eyes open and pick carefully! ”

Zhao Wei glanced at her, and the brother and sister laughed. We ate together again, and in the evening, Autumn Leaves suddenly came to the door.

Qiu Ye still had a little worry and anxiety on his face, and when he saw Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu, he didn't have time to say more, so he asked: "The prince was injured that year, and the old lady took out a lot of medical books for the reference of the royal medical officer, I don't know if those medical books are still there?" ”

Zhao Wei was puzzled: "What does my aunt want those medical books for?" When my grandmother and I returned to our hometown, we thought that it would be difficult to return to Beijing in the future, so we brought back most of the medical books that we could use, leaving only some that we already had at home or that we didn't need in the cold and kept them in the wing room over there. Auntie, is someone in the family sick and needs to read a medical book? ”

Autumn leaves sighed and shook her head: "It's not me, it's the princess!" ”

Lu Yunpeng used to be a personal guard of the palace, and Qiu Ye was called by her husband, called Princess Wangye, then it would only be the King of Guangping and the Princess of Guangping, so Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu understood it as soon as they heard it. Zhao Xiu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the princess?" I just went to the palace to visit the doctor today, and I saw that although the princess was not in good spirits, her body was okay? ”

Qiuye's eyes were red, so she made a fuss about the Zhong family's mother and daughter, and told the princess of Guangping, Zhong, who was so angry that she vomited blood, her husband knew the reason and did not hide it from her, but Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu were still young, and there was no need to say some things in too much detail, she only mentioned that the mother and daughter of the Zhong family had done something very shameless, and wanted to frame the prince to marry Zhong Yazhi, so the Zhong family was dizzy.

After finishing speaking, Akiba said with tears in her eyes: "The old doctor invited by the palace said that this is an angry attack, the princess's body is not very good, and she is already exhausted, and this time it is particularly dangerous." In the past few months in the palace, he has turned over a lot of treasured medical books, and when he has some experience, he considered and prescribed a prescription, saying that he would give it a try, but he didn't dare to pack the ticket. I think there are a lot of medical books at home, and maybe there are prescriptions that can be used, so I thought about coming over and asking, but I never thought about ......" she choked up and couldn't continue.

Zhao Wei still had a shocked expression on his face: "Although the medical books have been brought back to my hometown, when my grandmother and I sent the books to the palace, the prince of Guangping ordered someone to copy them and put them into the palace collection. It's just that the princess's condition, is it really so dangerous? ”

Zhao Xiu never imagined that things would develop like this, when she saw Zhong Yazhi's behavior, she still thought she was watching a joke, where did she think that they would be so excessive? After thinking about it, she asked Akiba, "Auntie, have you told King Guangping about this?" Do you want to go to the hospital and ask a doctor with good medical skills to take a look? Is there a way? ”

The hospital has been cleaned in the past few months, and all the problems have been dismissed and investigated, and a few of them have directly killed their heads and raided their homes, but the rest are all innocent, and there are a few old imperial doctors who have been recalled, as well as the new imperial doctors who have been newly recruited and admitted to the hospital, all of them are naturally outstanding in medical skills. The old doctor in the palace is good, but he may not be able to compare to the level of these imperial doctors.

Akiba shook his head and said, "I've reported to the palace, but I haven't heard back yet." Originally, the prince thought that the medical officer of the palace had been treating the princess, and he had only been waiting in front of the palace since the beginning of the new year, and he knew the princess's condition better than the doctor he invited later. If you don't invite a doctor, it's good to bring this doctor back. But somehow, the palace closed the palace door and sent an urgent letter to the prince, but there was no reply, I don't know if something happened, and even the prince didn't come back to see the princess. ”

Zhao Xiu and Zhao Wei glanced at each other, and they were both shocked in their hearts. It stands to reason that although it has long been rumored that the emperor's condition is not very good, it should not be so soon, after all, the king of Guangping has only taken the time to go back home, if it is a critical time, how can he have the leisure to withdraw? can look at the reaction in the palace, if it is really safe and sound, it is impossible for King Guangping to leave his seriously ill wife alone, and he will not send a doctor to take a look.

Zhao Xiu thought about it and felt that he couldn't rest assured, so he said to Zhao Wei: "Brother, I want to go to the palace to have a look, even if I can't help anything, I can still comfort Gao Zhen with two words." ”

Zhao Wei nodded: "This is right, I will also accompany you on a trip." The princess is very kind to our brothers and sisters, if there is really a case, what should people say? ”

Autumn leaves didn't object, she was planning to go home, see her son, settle the family, and tell the nurse to take care of her son, and then rush back to the palace. The news of Zhong's critical illness has not yet spread, the shape of the palace is not good, Gao Zhen has no intention of letting others interfere in the affairs of the palace, and Lu Yunpeng and his wife are the most suitable helpers. If there's something big to do, they can help.

Zhao Xiu quickly changed his clothes, and remembered that some time ago, when others gave gifts, there seemed to be more than a dozen boxes of precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and deer antler velvet, and he didn't know if the pie would be useful, so he was all packed up and taken into the carriage.

The brother and sister hurried to the Guangping Palace, and when they entered the gate of the palace, Cao's mother came out with red eyes, and Zhao Xiu didn't say much, and said directly: "I brought some medicinal materials, I don't know if there are any that can be used, Mom come and take a look." ”

Mother Cao was halfway through the salute, and when she heard the words, she hurriedly straightened up: "Good girl, how can you ask me to thank you." He directly flipped through the side of the carriage and picked out two boxes: "These two are on the prescription, because they have not been used before, and they are not common medicines, we are in a hurry to call someone to find them, and the girl sent them, or such a first-class product, it is really a great help." ”

Zhao Xiu said: "My brother and I come often, and my mother doesn't have to treat us as guests, let's send the medicine in, the princess's body is important." ”

Cao's mother confessed her guilt in tears, and asked the maids around her to treat her well, so she hurriedly entered the inner courtyard.

Zhao Xiu saw that even Cao's mother was in a hurry, so it could be seen that the princess was in critical condition, and it was not easy to say that she was going to go in to visit the patient now. She was not alone, but it was inconvenient for her brother to go into the inner courtyard, so the brother and sister followed the maid to the flower hall to watch tea and wait for news.

But when she passed the moon cave gate leading to the guest house, she heard a commotion there. Zhong Ya's voice was sharp and harsh: "What happened to my aunt?" Why won't you sue me? Get out of the way, I'm going to see my aunt! (To be continued......)
