Chapter 688: It's Him!
Early the next morning, Jingchen sent someone to invite Zhu Qingjue.
Zhu Qingjue learned that he dreamed some fragments last night, and did not inquire about the content, but only asked him to describe his physical discomfort, and deleted a few medicinal materials from the original prescription as appropriate, and gave him a bottle of Qingxin Pill.
"This is the pill I have specially refined for you, if you have a frightening dream in the future, wake up and take three pills, which can relieve the symptoms of headaches."
"Thank you." Jingchen took it, opened it in front of him, sniffed inside, he knew a little about pharmacology, and could distinguish the smell of mint and camphor.
Before Zhu Qingjue left, he didn't forget to inform him: "I will enter the palace to resume my life later, and the saint may announce that you will enter the palace for inquiry." ”
Sending Zhu Qingjue away, Jing Chen went back to the room and took out the portrait he painted last night, and when he looked at it during the day, he still felt that this person was born in his eyes, if it wasn't for the fact that the picture in the dream was too real, he would have suspected that this person was his imagination out of thin air.
After thinking about it, he copied another copy of the portrait, and then, without waiting for the emperor to see him, he went out to the palace to present the portrait.
With Zhu Qingjue here, it is impossible for him to hide Emperor Zhaoqing, not to mention that he is aware of Emperor Zhaoqing's impatience, if there is no progress, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not turn to Yu Shu
Zhu Qingjue left the Chengming Hall with his front foot, and Jing Chen entered the palace with his back foot.
Emperor Zhaoqing listened to Jingchen narrate the scene in his dream, and saw that he had painted a portrait, obviously very happy, this time he did not force Jingchen to stay in the palace, and let him go back on the same day.
Then urgently ordered someone to go to Xuanda to mention the point and enter the palace to discuss what to do next.
***
After Jingchen left the palace, it was still early. He did not go back to the princess's mansion, but went to Yu Shu's mansion on Baochang Street.
It was dusk, the sun was shining, there were several sedan chairs and carriages parked outside the gate, Jingchen got off the horse and walked, just arrived at the door, and saw someone who didn't know who was blocking the gate, holding a post in his hand, smiling face, and saying good things to an old man in the gatehouse.
"Uncle. My lord has been here three times. Please be accommodating, even if you don't accept our gifts, please give us a word, whether it is tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. As long as I can let my lord see Lord Yu. Take that money and drink it. ”
Another subordinate who called the door despised him: "Only three times." My family has been waiting for this hour every day, and I haven't been able to see anyone for half a month. You, come back in line. ”
There was a noise in front of the door, the guards of the princess's mansion walked two steps quickly, ran to Jingchen to call the door, and just opened his mouth to ask, "Is Lord Yu in the mansion?"
"First come, first come, don't you know the rules!"
The guard's face was dark, he held the knife at his waist, and shouted in a deep voice: "Presumptuous, the right order is here, and you won't let go." ”
Those people were taken aback by him, turned their heads blankly, and saw Jingchen behind him, although they didn't recognize it, they could see the dignity from their clothes, they reacted in time, and scattered to both sides.
Jingchen frowned slightly, walked past them, and without waiting for the guard to speak again, he said to the old man guarding the door: "I am tired of informing the master, and I will say that Jingchen has something to come to see." ”
Coincidentally, this gatekeeper recognized Jing Chen, because during the renovation of the new house before, Jing Chen followed Yu Shu once, and finally entered the door, because he did not treat him equally, nodded politely and said:
"Wait a minute, my lord."
After that, he called a porter and let people enter and spread the word
Yu Shu is resting today, staying at home all day, and saying to the outside world that she will not see guests, tomorrow is the day of her evaluation, and she has to make some preparations.
Hearing that Jingchen came to the door, she was quite surprised, and it happened that she also had something to say to Jingchen, so she asked Xin'er to go out to pick up people, not to the living room flower hall, and to bring it directly to the North Chamber.
Jingchen waited outside the door for more than a moment before someone came out to guide the way.
Xin'er took him on a shortcut, passing through the big garden on the way.
After the house was repaired, Jingchen came in for the first time, not counting the previous time, Yu Shu's wedding banquet did not invite him, at this time walking in the garden, full of green mountains and green waters, beautiful grass, and occasionally a pair of white cranes gliding overhead, singing and singing, which is refreshing.
Jingchen had something on his mind, but he couldn't help but be touched by the plants, trees, birds and beasts in the garden, recalling the years in the mountains, and when he saw Yu Shu's face, he praised it:
"The garden is beautiful."
Yu Shu forgot about the entanglement for a while, and said proudly: "That's, I hollowed out my mind to pick it up, isn't it beautiful?" ”
Seeing that she was happy, Jingchen thought about it and praised again: "Feng Shui is a must." ”
Yu Shu smiled: "Thank you so much to my master." ”
Jingchen had the heart to chat with her for a few words, but he couldn't grasp the topic accurately, and he couldn't speak several times, so he had to talk to her about the matter: "Not long ago, the emperor assigned Zhu Qingjue, the medicine judge of the Tai Hospital, to treat me, I drank his decoction, and I had a dream last night, and I dreamed that I was plotted by someone in Jianye City. ”
Yu Shu retreated from others when he entered the door, and was very surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked him:
"You remember?"
Jingchen shook his head: "No, I just remember some fragments, such as how I fell into the hands of others." As he spoke, he told her about the story of him wandering in Jianye City and being drugged in food.
"When I woke up from my coma, as if I had been imprisoned in a carriage, I had probably been buried by their silver needles, and I had lost all my strength and could not escape, but I heard someone talking outside, and I could see through the crack in the door the face of a man."
"Who is it?" Yu Shu lowered his voice, a little nervous and excited, in case the person Jingchen saw was the King of Xiang, then they would confirm their previous suspicions of the King of Xiang's bad intentions, and at the same time, they could confirm who wanted to kill her.
"I don't know."
Yu Shu let out a sigh of relief, and asked again, "And then?" ”
"No, and then I woke up."
"That's it?" Yu Shu was disappointed.
"I drew what that person looked like, do you want to see it?"
Yu Shu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Take it for me to see." ”
If there are portraits, it will be much easier. When the time comes, there will be such a list of emperors, and there will be wanted criminals all over the world, and this gang of thieves will always be found.
Jing Chen took out the portrait that he had copied earlier, and before he could open the four corners, Yu Shu stretched out his hand and pulled it over, shaking it off, and said:
"Didn't you hear what they said?"
Then I looked down at the portrait on the paper, and at first glance, I actually felt a little familiar. Jing Chen's paintings are not abstract. It's not as vivid as modern sketches. But the emphasis is on realism, and this person looks very distinctive, if you know him, you can see the portrait of Jingchen. It's sure to be associated with real people.
"Tsk. Looks like I've seen it somewhere. She muttered to herself. Just listen to Jing Chen's low voice-
"Eldest Prince, let's take a break and then hurry."
"What?"
"It's the words that this man said, and he said, "The eldest son." Let's take a break and then hurry. ”
Yu Shu was stunned for a moment, something flashed in his mind, he brought the portrait close to his face, stared at the face and looked at it, his eyes slowly widened, and a voice screamed in his heart-
It's him, how is he!?
Jing Chen saw that her eyes were about to pop out, so he asked, "Do you know him?" ”
"I don't know." Yu Shu blurted out a denial, for fear that Jingchen would suspect something, so he hurriedly added: "It looks a little familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it." ”
Jingchen said: "It's okay, I have already submitted this portrait to the emperor, and I believe that he will soon send someone to find out the whereabouts of this person." ”
Yu Shu: ""
"You handed over the portrait to the emperor?"
"Yes," Jingchen noticed that her face was wrong, and thought that this move was inappropriate, so he explained to her: "Zhu Qingjue of the Tai Hospital knows my body well, and he went to the palace to report it, I can't hide it even if I want to." With this portrait, the emperor will not think of making it difficult for you for a while. ”
Yu Shu squeezed out a smile and said to him: "Xie Lu, thank you for your sake of me, are you still useful for this portrait, can you leave it to me?" ”
It's rare for Jingchen to get a good face from her, not to mention a portrait, even if he asks him to paint a hundred more, he is willing.
"You keep it, just don't lose it."
After getting the portrait, Yu Shu immediately got up to see off the guests: "Tomorrow is my evaluation, I'm not ready yet, you can go back." ”
What I was going to say to him was completely unintentional at this time.
Called in and the maid sent Jing Chen away, Yu Shu closed the door, turned his head and sank his face, holding the portrait left by Jing Chen, looking at it several times, and finally confirming that she was not mistaken.
This is a man she has indeed seen.
If she remembered correctly, he was a manager of Xue Xiang's mansion, surnamed Xu.
In Yiyang City in May last year, at that time she was still a worthless oil bottle, the Ji family arrested Yu Xiaoxiu and wanted to blackmail her, and on the grounds of her eight-character shit life, let her first go to the Xue family's eldest son "Chongxi" on behalf of Ji Xingxuan, who was very valuable, and the Xue family came from the capital to meet each other, and the leader was this Xu manager.
If it weren't for the "eldest son" in Jing Chenxue's sentence, she wouldn't have remembered who this person was.
Yu Shu walked back and forth indoors anxiously, calculating the time, when Jingchen was poisoned in the south, this Chief Manager Xu stayed in the south, just the right number.
So it was the head of the Xue family who buried Jingchen Yinzhen and abandoned it on the river, who instructed it, could it be imagined that the Xue family wanted to rebel?
What to do, what to do, Jingchen has already handed the portrait to the emperor, and he can't chase it back if he wants to, once they are wanted to arrest someone, the Xue family will bear the brunt.
Wouldn't Xue Rui be in trouble!
Yu Shu was so anxious that he didn't have the heart to doubt whether Xue Rui would be the same as the thief who poisoned Jingchen.
"Girl, dinner has been delivered, where is it?" Kidney beans knock on the door outside.
Yu Shu woke up, hastily folded the portrait, put it in his arms, opened the door and strode out: "I'm going to go out and let someone lead my horse!" ”
No, she has to inform Xue Rui as soon as possible, and she can't let him sit still.
This is a heinous crime related to rebellion, once the emperor finds out that it is related to the Xue family, he will not be merciful.
Yu Shu could almost predict that this paper portrait would bring an unprecedented calamity to the Xue family, which was leaning towards the government and the opposition.
And her sweetheart is inevitably implicated. (To be continued......)
