Chapter 042: I went to Yongzhou Mansion to meet her in person
Shen Tianshu picked up the lamp and copied the female commandment unhurriedly, far away in the palace of Prince Rui in Wuchang, Li Zi'an was reading the letter under the lamp.
There was also a young man about his age, sitting across from his desk.
This person was dressed in a white straight body, wearing a cloak of dark green background and precious flower makeup, and the white fox fur collar was not dominant, but his face was as white as jade, and his eyes were like bright stars.
He played with a jade ring in his hand, quietly waiting for Li Zi'an to read the letter, and under the reflection of the candlelight, he couldn't tell which of his fingers and the jade ring was fairer and smoother.
The letter wrote in detail about Tong Niangzi's every move over the past few days, first saving Zhao Qu's mother, then going to Yangjitang for free treatment, and also happened to save Luo Shizhong's daughter.
The young man had been paying attention to Li Zi'an, and when he saw that his gaze gradually moved to the end of the letter, he couldn't help but say: "This Zhao Qu is the prefect of Chengdu Mansion that I told the prince last time, and now he has been recalled to the capital in advance to report on his work, so he must be reused." As far as I know, he has been in Chengdu for six years, and he is indeed a doer, and he is not blindly stupid, and his brain is quite flexible, if he can ......"
However, before he finished speaking, Li Zi'an couldn't help but shake his head.
"The emperor was already jealous of his father, and it was not until he fell ill that he relaxed a little bit, Zhao Qu's political achievements have attracted the attention of the emperor, and we can't interfere anymore."
The relatives of the children of the first emperor are thin, although there are not many princes born to the harem concubines, but in the end, there are only four princes who grow up safely.
The eldest son, Li Weixiang, has a low position in the biological mother, and he is even weaker and incompetent, whether in the palace or in the court, he has no sense of existence.
Today's saint Li Weiheng and Prince Rui Li Weitao were born in the same year, and their birthdays were only three days apart.
Although Li Weiheng is a descendant, Concubine Fengrong was just a concubine back then, and she was promoted to the concubine position after giving birth to the prince.
But the harem is sinister, except for the low status of the eldest prince Li Weixiang's mother and her lack of competitiveness, Li Weitao is the only prince who is not a concubine but grew up safely, which is enough to show that his mother Concubine Rong has high means.
Li Weiheng and Li Weitao are the same age, they study and study together, whether it is grades or riding and shooting, they will inevitably be compared, so it is naturally difficult to get close.
It wasn't until a few years later that the queen gave birth to her youngest son Li Weisheng, who is now Prince Ren, that she finally felt that she was in a stable position and was no longer particularly afraid of Concubine Rong.
But the antagonistic relationship between Li Weiheng and Li Weitao is already difficult to bridge.
Even if Li Weiheng succeeded to the throne later, he was still particularly jealous of this half-brother.
More than three years ago, Prince Rui suddenly fell ill, and there was nothing else unusual in the whole person, but he has been unconscious.
Not only Liu Xukun was helpless, but Ruiwangfu's search for famous doctors did not see any improvement.
At that time, Li Zi'an carried Liu Xukun's handwritten letter and personally took people to Jiang's house to ask for help, but who knew that he encountered a group of black-clothed people who washed Jiang's family in blood.
Now three years have passed since the Jiang family's bloody case, and Prince Rui has also been lying in bed for three years.
Even if the subordinates had been carefully serving, it had only slowed down his weakening speed.
Seeing that his father was so thin compared to three years ago that he couldn't look like he was thin, Li Zi'an's heart was like frying every day.
But this Tong lady, although she has superb medical skills, appeared too coincidentally, and he really didn't dare to trust it rashly.
Li Zi'an swept the letter again, put down the letter and asked, "This Luo Shizhong, but it is a branch of the Jingzhou Luo clan?" ”
The young man nodded and said, "Luo Shizhong is indeed from the Luo clan in Jingzhou, but it is not a branch, but a descendant. He is the youngest son of Luo Jingyuan, the current suzerain of the Luo family, because he was dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by the family, Luo Shizhong left home alone and came to Yongzhou Mansion to work hard, and married his current wife, and then had a daughter Luo Qiaozhen.
"Although he fell out with his family at the beginning, but in the end, he is a young son, and the old lady of the Luo family has a lot of preference for him. Since he had his daughter Luo Qiaozhen, Luo Shizhong's relationship with his family has eased, not only has a lot of correspondence, but also borrowed a lot of strength in business, but Luo Jingyuan is angry that his son does not listen to the family's arrangement, and he has not been allowed to marry a wife, and he has not been allowed to let go, so Luo Shizhong has not been able to return to Jingzhou, and is still living in Yongzhou Mansion. ”
Li Zi'an sneered when he heard this: "First my grandmother, then Zhao Qu, who has the best political performance this year, and then the youngest son of the Luo family...... She is really good at picking people when she is sick, and she keeps a close eye on people for me, I want to know her every move in Yongzhou Mansion, but I want to see what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd! ”
When the young man heard this, he put down the jade ring in his hand and asked, "Why is the prince so interested in Tong Niangzi?" Even if she has superb medical skills, it is impossible to be higher than Imperial Doctor Liu. ”
Li Zi'an rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Jingzhong has always been able to get news from Fuzhong, I have combed up and down several times, and I still can't catch this ghost ......"
The young man's face was shocked, and his fingers involuntarily clasped the jade ring, and asked, "Is the prince suspicious of Imperial Doctor Liu?" ”
"Imperial Doctor Liu has been in Huguang for almost ten years, although he has been taking good care of the concubine's body, but in the end, it is someone sent by the palace, I have to guard against it." Li Zi'an leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and immediately hid his upper body into the shadow that the candle flame could not envelop in, "So this Tong lady, you must keep an eye on people for me, she has a relationship with the Jiang family, and her medical skills are so good, maybe she will have something to do with the Jiang family." ”
The young man sighed when he heard this, and said, "It's a pity that we were one step late back then, if we could save Jiang Tong Jiang Divine Doctor, the prince's illness might have been saved a long time ago." ”
"Jiang Tong, Tong Niangzi, do you think there really is any connection between them?" Li Zi Anmo asked, holding his fingers.
"Lord Shizi, when the Jiang family had an accident, I watched everyone be collected and buried, and the only survivor was the baby." The young man shook his head again and again, "Jiang Tong will never be alive." ”
Li Zi'an raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I know, I'm just ...... Alas, my father has been ill for more than three years, and I am really ......"
"The prince has always been kind and charitable, loves the people like a son, and all the gods and Buddhas will bless the prince to wake up as soon as possible." The young man got up and said, "The prince still has to pay more attention to rest, don't push yourself too hard, leave the matter of Tong Niangzi to me, I will go to Yongzhou Mansion to meet her in person." ”
Li Zi'an subconsciously rubbed his fingers again, hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I can't leave, it's okay for you to go and take a look, be careful not to startle the snake." ”
