Chapter 295: The Emperor's Heart
Zhao Zhen's sudden attack still caused a lot of pressure on a few young people, the emperor wanted to eat with them, and the simple meal became complicated, first washing hands, then gargling tea, and then Shangguan Wen took a silver needle to test the poison next to him, and Lu Zifei was dazzled after a circle.
"Lord Shangguan? Let's not say that the food is not delicious when it is cold, can you take such a silver needle and try all the poison in the food? As he spoke, he picked up a piece of preserved egg and pricked it with Shangguan Wen's silver needle, and the silver needle quickly turned black, Lu Zifei didn't look at Shangguan Wen's face, and ate the preserved egg in one bite.
Zhao Zhen had a smile on his face, he was absolutely sure of the control of this palace, this kid would not be so blatant if he wanted to harm him, although he didn't know what trick Lu Zifei was playing, but he was sure that Lu Zifei could give him a reasonable explanation.
Shangguan Wen said in astonishment: "Why did Master Hou eat poisonous food, it's okay, it's okay to sit here." ”
Lu Zifei said: "Lord Shangguan's position is very critical, the emperor's safety is all in your thoughts, so it will not be wrong to read more books if you have nothing to do, as for the principle, it is very simple, you can only detect the poison of arsenic with a silver needle, and you can't detect any other poisons." ”
These words don't sound like there's anything wrong with them, it's Lu Zifei teaching Shangguan Wen knowledge, but if you read it carefully, you will find that Lu Zifei is beating Shangguan Wen, this kind of person bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, and you leave him with a weak and curious impression when you meet him for the first time, so don't think about how respectful he is to you in the future.
How many years have Shangguan Wen Baptized Camp officialdom, the first time he met Lu Zifei, a person who didn't give a good face when he met, he didn't show any displeasure on his face, he didn't show any displeasure on his face, it felt like he was listening carefully to Lu Zifei's teaching of his knowledge, but he didn't offend this kid! He always remembered that this was the first time they met.
Of course, Zhao Zhen heard that Lu Zifei had something to say, he snorted and said: "Hanzhang, I have been in Beijing for a few days, how do you feel about this Bianjing City, tell me about your intuitive feelings, I am numb to sit here every day." ”
Lu Zifei sat upright, and said without much thought: "The kid has been to many places, and if someone says that he has gone to more places than me, it must be bragging." ”
Zhao Zhen and the rest laughed, Lu Zifei licked his lips and continued: "Bianjing's Eyi has seen the largest, most prosperous, and most populous city so far. ”
Zhao Zhen didn't know how much of Lu Zifei's words were true and how much false, but he still agreed with Lu Zifei's statement, that emperor didn't like words of praise, that is, in the previous imperial examinations, the question of patting sycophants has never been less.
"Ancestor Meng Yin, it's not worth mentioning, Hanzhang you know I can't sleep! Xin'er's illness, you can give me another explanation, how about it. ”
Lu Zifei said: "King Yong's condition is not as bad as the emperor imagined, since the emperor has been here for a few days, why don't you taste whether the food I made is delicious, and what we will discuss after eating." ”
Zhao Zhen knew that Lu Zifei was for his good, and he hadn't eaten a serious meal for a few days, so he finished this luxurious lunch in a tasteless way, out of the pot Zhao Zhen, and the rest of the people were all feasting, not everyone was lucky enough to be able to make a meal in the imperial dining room, and the good ingredients plus Lu Zifei's cooking, the taste can be imagined.
When Lu Zifei feasted in the palace, Cai Mengyue didn't have such good luck, he didn't expect Cai Yun to secretly observe her meeting with her future husband at the temple fair, and told her father the news during the meal.
Cai Xiang asked, "Yue'er, did he say anything when you met that kid?" ”
Cai Mengyue said: "He said that he was going to prepare for the exam during this time, and his family was asking for him to come to the house to propose marriage." ”
Cai Xiang said with a gloomy expression: "Now that my father is not lying to you, I and your Uncle Fan can't support their changes in the court for long, many people were not optimistic about that kid before, but you want to marry him, and your mother is resolutely against it." ”
Cai Mengyue interrupted her father's words and said, "Father is only afraid that he also has that kind of thought!" If it weren't for my daughter's attitude has always been clear, I must have become a husband now, how many young ladies from big families in Bianjing City who came back from the sea last year were ready to see me laugh, but I have always had confidence in him, my father said about the court today, did he want to mention something for his daughter? ”
Cai Xiang was hesitant to tell his daughter the news, and he couldn't hide it if he didn't tell him, so he said: "He entered the palace this morning, if his father expected him, he should have treated King Yong, and many people in the capital know that he has a magical medical skill." ”
Cai Mengyue exclaimed and said: "Father can talk about smallpox, how can he do such a dangerous thing, what is the difference between this kind of behavior and sending him to death, throughout history, even the medical saint is helpless against smallpox!" ”
Cai Xiang said: "He still went without hesitation, and his father also saw it, this time he can come out of the palace alive, I will convince your mother's attitude in this matter, his identity is worthy of my family's proud little phoenix." ”
Cai Mengyue calmed down at this time, she said: "My daughter said something disrespectful, I'm afraid your imperial history doesn't have much binding force on him, although my daughter is not interested in court politics, it doesn't mean that I don't know the actions of the imperial court, you also fancy his potential!" ”
Cai Xiang's old face was blushing, he was robbed by his daughter, he was speechless and drunk, who would have expected that the speed of his rise was like riding a rocket, the rumors were harmful, most scholars disdained Lu Zifei's title, but Zhao Zhen's connivance and preference for Lu Zifei was incomparable to any person.
"You know that the Cai family is a great cause, you are a father in the direction of the family, you can't decide everything, I am in a state of embarrassment in the matter of changing the law, and the decline has been revealed, you Uncle Fan They were too optimistic at the beginning, I don't want to explain more, he still came to you when he saw the situation clearly, and felt that he was a person who could let you entrust your life."
Unexpectedly, he also became a victim of politics one day, a good marriage, but let them pinch it to the point that it was uncontrollable, and Lu Zifei's impression of the Cai family was not so good from this matter.
"Is it worth it, my daughter knows it very well in my heart" Cai Mengyue's soft words hurt Cai Xiang, who is a father, what is the human touch in a big family, only interests are the eternal truth.
In two days, the situation on Zhao Xin's body has not changed at all, the only little change is that Zhao Xin fell into a coma, things are developing in an unfavorable direction, Lu Zifei is also worried, children generally plant one cowpox, he is worried that one is not enough, so he planted two for Zhao Xin, and the weak breathing made several people not know where to go.
Qiao He came out and shook his head, why doesn't this kid have a fever, is it so difficult? What else can be done except resign to fate, Wang Wei still refuses to come out in Huining Palace, and Lu Zifei has already given up in his heart.
Zhao Zhen came, this time he brought Queen Cao over, Lu Zifei said in a dull voice: "The kid is worthy of the emperor's trust." ”
"This is smallpox, I know its power better than you, these days the three of you master and apprentice have not risked their own lives and I Zhao Zhen is in my heart, it should be that I don't have this child in my life, give me and the queen one of your masks, let's go in to see him off, father and son, I can't bear to see him go so down."
Lu Zifei stood in front of Zhao Zhen and said: "Your Majesty, don't think about going in, I won't let you in if you say anything, the body of gold is also treated equally in front of smallpox, if you want to go in, you will kill me first." ”
Shangguan Wen and the guards stopped, they knew what the consequences of the emperor going in, but they were slight, Zhao Zhen would not listen to them, Lu Zifei was different, the emperor valued him very much, and in the emperor's mind, his status was lower than that of King Yong.
Under the stalemate, Wang's only hoarse voice came from the Huining Palace, "Come in, King Yong has a high fever." ”
Lu Zifei glanced at Qiao He and Xu Anxin, meaning to ask if the two of them also heard it, Qiao He nodded heavily, and Lu Zifei said: "It took two days to have a high fever, and I was worried that the medicine would not go down for a while and a half, so I prepared wine and ice water to follow me in." ”
Zhao Zhen had heard it in Lu Zifei's mouth several times as long as Xin'er had a high fever, and he said incoherently: "Hanzhang, is Xin'er still saved, if you tell the truth, I won't blame you." ”
Lu Zifei arranged things for Qiao He, and when he heard Zhao Zhen interject, he said impatiently: "Can the emperor stop for a while, you can disturb me again, His Royal Highness King Yong's last chance will also be exhausted." ”
As Zhao Zhen's loyal dogleg, Shangguan Wen said: "Bold, Wangbeihou, pay attention to your identity, do you know who you are talking to?" The emperor standing in front of you. ”
Empress Cao said to Shangguan Wen with a vicious look in her eyes: "Old dog, if you dare to say one more word, I will cut off your tongue and feed it to the dog now, believe it or not." "Queen Cao, if you don't agree with each other, you will draw a knife to face each other!
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "I stand and don't speak, Hanzhang, you just do it, here I am, you open your mouth if you need anything, someone runs errands for you, I promise not to say more." ”
Lu Zifei got dressed and entered Huining Palace and touched Zhao Xin's forehead, he did have a fever, and the pus on his face gradually burst, the fever is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is to reduce inflammation, I am afraid that it will not work with spirits alone, I rummaged through my medicine box, and carefully took out a bottle on the bottom layer, this medicine is not mature!
Wang Weiwei said: "You don't dare to use things yourself, okay with him?" ”
Outside, when Zhao Zhen said that he wanted to come in, Lu Zifei saw a trace of madness in his eyes, he couldn't save Zhao Xin, everything was hard to say, Lu Zifei himself was not absolutely sure that he would survive today, how could the emperor's mind be so simple.
