Chapter 313: Quality in hand
In the past, it was just an extremely common thing between brothers to give slaves and maids, but this time Xiao Hong just gave a gift, and Xiao Ze was summoned into the palace by His Majesty the Emperor.
When the father received the message, he thought it was a brother's gap, and the younger brother slapped him in the face and returned the person who was secretly subdued by the eldest brother.
The father and son closed the door and talked in detail for two or three hours. Xiao Rui also met Lu Shou alone, and finally let Xiao Ze leave with a solemn expression.
A batch of precious medicinal herbs was then secretly and quickly transferred from the inner treasury to the East Palace.
It's okay to hide this from outsiders, but you can't deceive your relatives.
The news that the crown prince might be sick was quickly sent to Empress Xu from the East Palace. Empress Xu was like a thunderbolt, and her well-maintained appearance instantly revealed the twilight of the decadent Tang Dynasty.
Unlike his father, who threw away some medicine and ignored it, the heartbroken mother immediately urged Feng Yuan and rushed directly into the East Palace with a team of people.
Hui Xin, who accompanied her, breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Zezhong's Gu, she had heard Cui Langzhen mention it.
But when she immediately pulled He Minglan to see Xu, she only said that when she was a child, she had studied under a teacher in Tianxiangyuan who knew some poison arts, and when she entered Beijing with the Xiao family, the reunited former master threatened the life of her husband's family and asked her to provide Xiao Ze's information. What you do is involuntary.
Such a whitewashed explanation is just a reason for Empress Xu to protect her.
Hui Xin didn't know the old things of the Xiao family, but she caught Empress Xu's vigilance against Xiao Hong and his wife during the questioning by observing her words, and did what she wanted, so she won a glimmer of life.
Therefore, she was cautious in her words and deeds, and did not say a word about Xiao Zezhong's Gu, pretending not to know, lest she say too much wrong.
Now the facts are revealed from the outside, which is exactly what is desirable. If she wants to save her life, she must reflect the value of her existence. It's best to keep Xiao Ze's life in your hands.
In the anxious urging of Empress Xu, Hui Xin's hand caught Xiao Ze's size pass.
After carefully considering it for a long time, Hui Xin whispered her judgment.
"Dream of death and drunkenness? Gu can't be solved, it can only be controlled with medicine? Xiao Ze stared at the woman in front of him scrutinically and withdrew his hand. asked coldly.
Pulse diagnosis techniques and condition judgment, this little miscellaneous fish that he had not paid attention to before, is very similar to Zhou Manyun's feedback.
Hui Xin nodded respectfully, and softly comforted Empress Xu, who had been asking questions frequently with tears, saying that Xiao Ze had Gu poison on his body and had no worries about his life.
One disease, two parties.
Xiao Ze hastily looked at the prescription prescribed by Hui Xin, which was roughly similar to what Lu Shou wrote, but there were differences in detail.
"This recipe has been used?" , Xiao Ze asked. Don't hide your suspicions.
"Yes!"
As soon as Hui Xin answered, Xu Hou spread out her hand at Xiao Ze, and anxiously pursued: "The recipe that the little eunuch prescribed for you will show your mother!" ”
Empress Xu doesn't know medical skills, the so-called look, you still have to let Huixin help the palm.
Xiao Ze smiled calmly, took off the note in his hand and said, "It's all the same." ”
According to the way of medication, there are more differences. Lu Shou's prescription had already said in advance that it would be adjusted at any time.
Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, Empress Xu didn't believe Xiao Ze's refreshing answer. She thought for a moment. Drink back and clean the people around you.
"Jimin!" , Xu Hou clasped Xiao Ze's shoulder. stared at him, and pleaded with a wailing voice, "You listened to your mother, killed the slave surnamed Lu Yangzi, and treated it according to Huixin's prescription." "Mother, that woman? She's from Tianxiang! "Tianxiangyuan is just a group of sluts who are a little crooked and heretical and want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix. What can they do? Since the Chen Dynasty and the Wuzong Dynasty, how have they ever done any great things? Don't think your mother doesn't know. This time, it's all because of Zhou Manyun's slut that you are tired of your accident. “
Empress Xu burst into tears and said in a low voice: "Who does my mother believe?" If I could, my mother would like all the pain to come to me alone. It is better to believe in Hui's heart than to believe in the person who comes out there. She is already a lost dog with no support, and her family is under the control of her mother......"
Now that the son has guessed the old thing. Xu Hou simply did not hide her hatred for Xiao Liu's husband and wife, complaining loudly, and crying with blood and tears.
"Mother didn't think about it, in fact, ......", Xiao Ze wanted to persuade, but found that Xu Hou, who was immersed in his emotions, simply didn't listen to it, and just persistently stuffed the prescription written by Hui Xin into his hand.
"Good! I, listen to my mother. Xiao Ze sighed softly and nodded solemnly at Xu.
Xu Shi then put away his tears with relief.
Feng Yuan drove back to the palace, and Xiao Ze, who was sent outside the palace gate, looked at the team in the distance, and a bleak smile hooked on the corner of his mouth.
Regardless of the prescription, who is better. This time, the mother-in-law's visit to the sick has been a cover-up that has been speculated and valued by outsiders.
Feng Yuan shook lightly, and Empress Xu, who had been pacified by Xiao Ze, couldn't help but feel confused, she couldn't wait to go back to the palace to speak again, and directly beckoned to Hui Xin.
"You also go to the East Palace to follow the He family first, and tell her some taboos about serving the prince. reported the news to Qingning Palace in time. ”
When the child is older, he can't help his thoughts. And this time, the crown princess Qin was like an earthen carved puppet, and she didn't know anything about Xiao Ze's condition. If it weren't for the fact that an old adult in the East Palace found out about the drug-giving change and reported it, he would have been fooled.
Xu Hou thought about it carefully, and felt that Xiao Ze's physical discord was inconvenient for his wives and concubines to know, after all, his son's illness was weird, and if he was invited to pet by those foxes, it would be bad.
He Minglan's identity is quite enough, she is an insider who has been to the Great Ci'en Temple, and she has a handle to handle, and I heard that Xiao Ze has recently invited her to sleep, and it is cheap to use it easily.
After Hui Xin returned and reported He Minglan's gratitude, she returned to Empress Xu in Qingning Palace and breathed a sigh of relief, picked up Zihao in her hand and smeared a few names on a roll of paper.
What was written on the paper was a draft of the reward for the family members in the East Palace submitted by the crown princess.
Xiao Ze can have one concubine, two concubines and four daughters according to the system.
Originally, the daughter-in-law Qin was registered as the crown princess, and how the concubines of the East Palace wanted to give face, it was left to the Qin family to plan for themselves, and when they arrived at Qingning Palace, they just went through the final scene.
But just now, after Xu Hou smeared for a while, it was the one that the Qin family promoted He Minglan to Liangyuan, and changed the He family to Liangdi.
As long as the He family can help take care of Xiao Ze......
In King Yan's Mansion, Man Yun also quickly received the news that Xu Houfeng drove to the East Palace, and he could understand a little bit about the cause and effect of the cause.
Motherhood naturally plans for her children with all her heart. Obedience is filial piety. It's still their own decision, but it's also everyone's decision.
But do your best, each according to the destiny of heaven?
Man Yun couldn't help but think a lot, what would he do with his family after Xiao Zezhen was consumed to death in the tug of war between the two sides?
It's hard!
Emperor Jing Xiao Rui is extremely unkind, and there is Xiao Xiaoliu in the list of the Southern Expedition that has been clarified, and this time because the fourth Xiao Zhan made a mistake. It is said that Xiao Hong may also be hand-picked as the coach.
Xiao Rui, who is a father, seems to be eager to summon the world about his partiality for Xiao Hong, and he looks like he has broken bones and tendons, and he can't tolerate outsiders to stir up suspicion.
Xiao Hong couldn't be allowed to rush directly in front of Xiao Rui and shout to the emperor: "I suspect that I am not your own child, you are too good to me." “
Zhou Manyun's beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, loosened and frowned, and his little face was only twisted like a bitter gourd.
"It's too much to worry about!" , Xiao Hong smiled and pinched his wife's nose, and teased: "Don't you still regret that it was better to be a lady in Jiangnan back then?" “
Man Yun sighed lightly. There is a hint of recognition that this is indeed the case.
Xiao Hong will be targeted by Xiao Rui and the old ministers who planned the war, and the old things about his residence in Jiangnan when he was a teenager are still secondary.
The territory of Jiangnan in this life is very different from that of the previous life.
Even if he was locked up in the backyard in his previous life, Man Yun also knew that south of the Tuojiang River, in addition to the deep mountains in the southwest and the coastal states of Yang Fengyin and wandering in violation of the law, the small court of Jianyang still firmly controlled the important land in the south of the Yangtze River.
Now Jiangnan is much more fragmented. Squeezed by several disobedient local powerful forces, the small court of Jianyang is veritable small, territory, and population. Taxes and so on have been affected and are stretched thin.
And the local forces south of Hezhou are not mentioned for the time being. From Qingyuan and other river crossings to Baoshan, the river bandit Yun Jinfan, the Yang and Zhou coalition forces in the area of Xinliuhuo City, and the red thieves in Nanbaoshan are faintly related to Xiao Hong.
This time the point will be on him, and it doesn't seem to be a longitudinal hit. It's about talking to him. Even if you can't conquer everything, you can take advantage of the road to break into Jianyang, Gyeongju, and the center will bloom first, and it will be good to take another little emperor of the Chen Dynasty over there.
Proud, surprised, confused...... All kinds of ideas come together. But now it turned into a faint fear.
In addition to being reborn, Zhou Manyun is a little woman with no visionary budget, and only occasionally unintentionally participates in the choices of some people.
Every little change, at first Man Yun didn't expect it to be closely related to him, and the trickle became a river, but it was turbulent at this time.
"Do you need me to send a letter to Hongmei and the second brother?" , Man Yun asked abruptly, with some inexplicable apprehension.
Xiao Hong grabbed her and shook his head.
It's the same as when he was counted as a Mo tribe, but he was also counted against Yanzhou by Mrs. Mo Zhi.
When there is antagonism between relatives and friends, it is rare to be able to care about friendship like Mrs. Mo Zhi and rationally calculate the interests of both parties. No one has the right to ask others to sacrifice themselves to accomplish so-called fulfillment.
Now he can only try to make the two sides mutually beneficial, so that Man Yun has less to worry about.
"Why don't I go to Jiangnan with you! Do we want to find an opportunity to avoid the far away? Man Yun bit his lip and asked softly.
"Can you avoid it?"
It was indeed a fool's dream, just listening to Xiao Hong's sigh, Man Yun quickly rejected the idea just now.
Even if Xiao Hong is really an orphan with an unknown background, he is a relative in this life from Mobei to Jiangnan.
Rise up against them, or run away, where do you put them?
Zhou Manyun laughed at himself: "It's just that if you go to Jiangnan, I will become a hostage." “
She Manyun really didn't want Xiao Hong to go to Jiangnan.
The situation of the war is changing rapidly, and it is impossible to predict the end, and the military orders are like a mountain, not only may she not see him during pregnancy, but she may not be able to see her father in time for the birth of the child.
"So you also want to secretly wait for an opportunity to contain him and become your hostage?"
"Yes! If you're not there, I can't prevent someone from giving me wine and white silk? Man Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, secretly resentful.
If her death in her previous life was the same root, she didn't want to die again inexplicably.
Why?
Xiao Hong looked at Man Yun well, and his calloused fingers slowly rubbed against her delicate cheeks. (To be continued......)
