Chapter 20: Summoned by the Emperor of the East
Angrily returning to the General's Mansion, Chu Yichuan rushed to Chu Yuntian's study.
"Father, how can you let the little senior aunt risk her life to go to the Six Princes' Mansion to find out the news? Why don't you and your mother persuade you? ”
Chu Yuntian was practicing calligraphy at this time, and was frightened by Chu Yichuan, his hand shook, and the words were ruined, he raised his head and said to his son a little angrily: "How many times have you said that don't be so frizzy and irritable in doing things. Also, your little aunt is like that, and no one can change what she decides. ”
"But father, she's only one person after all, aren't you worried about her?" Chu Yichuan saw his father's calm expression, and he became even more anxious.
"Don't worry, your little aunt has great skills, and she will be fine."
Chu Yuntian picked up the word that had been written just now, glanced at it, and said, "It's a pity." ”
After putting down the paper in his hand, Chu Yuntian looked at his son who still wanted to say something: "What are you doing looking at me like this?" Let me tell you, don't act rashly, otherwise our plan will be in vain, and your little aunt will also be in danger, so you will stay honest and don't do anything, do you hear? ”
Chu Yichuan was indeed planning to do something, he couldn't have watched his sweetheart put him in danger and he was indifferent.
But what his father said did make sense, and the little aunt also said that Murong Zhan didn't know about her relationship with the general's mansion, if he really took rash action, not only would he startle the snake, but also expose the little aunt, so her situation would be really dangerous, so for her safety, he could only listen to his father's words, and he could only believe that Lu Wanting could really protect herself.
Someone came to the palace, saying that the emperor summoned the Holy Maiden of the Medicine King Valley.
"See me?" Lu Wanting was a little surprised, what did this good Donglin Emperor do when he saw her?
Lu Wanting gave Honeysuckle a look, and Honeysuckle knowingly handed over a money bag to the little eunuch who came to pass on the message.
"Please also announce to inform Your Majesty what is announcing me, I can make some preparations, I have never seen Tianyan, I am afraid that it will cause the dragon's wrath."
This little eunuch is the head of the palace in charge of the affairs of the palace, the eunuch Zhang Gonggong's subordinates, and he has no grade, hearing this, the father-in-law is very useful, and the retracted hand is in the sleeve, and then he raised a smile and said: "The holy woman doesn't need to be nervous, Your Majesty just wants to ask about the illness of the six princes, and there is nothing else." ”
He happened to ask Gonggong Zhang a lot at that time, so he knew why His Majesty summoned the holy woman into the palace.
"So, thank my father-in-law, and ask my father-in-law to wait for a while, I will change my clothes and follow my father-in-law into the palace."
"Okay."
Knowing that it was for the affairs of the six princes, Lu Wanting went back to the room and quickly changed her clothes and entered the palace.
When she arrived at the gate of the palace, the carriage could not enter, so Lu Wanting got out of the carriage and followed the little eunuch on foot.
As soon as I entered the palace gate, I was greeted by a sense of history. As far as the eye can see, the area of this east palace is huge, and there are guards in front of each palace gate, and there are soldiers patrolling around, and there is a solemnity in my heart.
After passing through several palace gates, Lu Wanting entered the interior of the palace, where white walls were built everywhere, and the glazed tiles on the roof reflected bursts of golden light in the sunlight, lining the entire palace to be extraordinarily brilliant.
Lu Wanting visited the Forbidden City in modern times, but she didn't think that the east of the palace was magnificent, in contrast, the vicissitudes of the Forbidden City are heavier, after all, it has experienced the changes of several dynasties, and the east of the palace is only three hundred years old, and has not experienced any ups and downs, so there is no such broken beauty.
When he arrived at the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, the little eunuch trotted in front of Jiang Haijiang's father-in-law with a smile, "The slave Xiaozhu has seen the head of Jiang, and the holy woman has already brought it, so the slave will retreat first." ”
Jiang Hai nodded, turned around and entered the house. Lu Wanting stayed alone outside the hall and waited, and at this time she realized that the person who went to pass the word was just a little eunuch, not a high-ranking father-in-law.
Staring at the two golden dragons on the eaves of the Heart Cultivation Palace, she didn't react until Jiang Hai called her for the third time, and immediately confessed.
Jiang Hai smiled kindly and said, "Holy Maiden, come in with me, and you will answer whatever Your Majesty asks in a while, don't look at it too much." ”
"Thank you, father-in-law, I wrote it down."
Entering the Heart Nourishing Palace, Lu Wanting saw a middle-aged man sitting in front of the desk to review the folds, and did not look up at this time. He wears a purple and gold crown inlaid with gemstones, a silk robe embroidered with a gold dragon on a black background, and although he has white hair on his temples, the momentum of the superior makes it easy to ignore the white hair and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
Lu Wanting blessed her body lightly, lowered her head, and said, "The folk girl has seen the emperor. ”
Jiang Hai looked at His Majesty, who had already raised his head to look at Lu Wanting, and then at Lu Wanting, who was not kneeling, and was a little apprehensive in his heart.
Murong Xuancheng raised his head, only to see the woman in front of him wearing a moon-white dress, a medicine bag hanging from her waist, a veil on her face, and only a jasper hairpin inserted in her hair, without too many other decorations, but the temperament exuding from her body made him feel that she should be like this.
Finding that Lu Wanting didn't kneel, Murong Xuancheng was not angry, but just said lightly, and then asked, "I want to know, why don't you kneel?" ”
Lu Wanting raised her head, and there was no panic in her words, "Back to Your Majesty, the folk girl is a villager in the mountains and wilderness, and she is used to being free and casual, and she has never liked these red tapes, besides, the folk girl is not a person from the East, and she does not understand the etiquette of the East, if Your Majesty blames the folk girl for this, the folk girl has nothing to say." ”
Murong Xuancheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed: "Hahahaha!" What a Medicine King Valley Holy Maiden, it is really unusual, she dares to think and say it like this, interesting, really interesting! Jiang Hai, give a seat. ”
At this time, Jiang Hai was wiping the cold sweat on his face, he had never seen a woman as bold as Lu Wanting, but he didn't expect His Majesty to blame, and immediately called someone to give him a seat.
"This time I summoned the saint into the palace, I want to ask about the situation of the six princes, can he be sure that the saint will be cured of his leg disease?"
"Back to Your Majesty, after all, the sixth prince's leg has been injured for a long time, and he is depressed because of this matter, it is a little difficult to recover, and the people can't say that they are completely sure."
Murong Xuancheng sighed, "Alas, the sixth child, I owe him a lot, if the holy woman can be cured, I will try my best to heal, if it can really be cured, I will definitely reward you, if it is not cured, I will not blame you, after all, so many years have passed, you can rest assured." ”
Lu Wanting nodded, "Your Majesty." ”
Murong Xuancheng looked at Lu Wanting and asked with a strange face, "Why do you keep wearing a veil?" Can I take a look at your face? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, this is the rule that this is what the Medicine King Valley has always been for saints, saints must wear veils on their faces, and they can't be easily revealed." Lu Wanting replied seriously. In fact, this is all made up by Lu Wanting, the Medicine King Valley has never had a saintess, nor has there been such a rule, she is just troublesome, and her appearance is too outstanding but attracts attention.
"What if I, as the Son of Heaven, ordered you to take off your veil?" Murong Xuancheng was really curious, he wanted to see if this holy woman was a fairy or had a terrifying face, but he preferred the former, after all, he could see from her eyes that she should be extremely beautiful.
Lu Wanting stood up and said to Murong Xuancheng: "Back to Your Majesty, the Minnu is not a person from the East. ”
Murong Xuancheng was speechless, he knew what Lu Wanting meant, she was not from Donglin, so it was useless for him to put the emperor on the shelf in front of her, and he couldn't control her.
Murong Xuancheng really hadn't seen such a bold woman as Lu Wanting, and he didn't know what to say for a while, he smiled and shook his head, "That's it, since the holy woman is unwilling, I won't force it, the holy woman has worked hard for the six princes, go back and rest early." ”
After Lu Wanting left, Murong Xuancheng was in a good mood, he was used to seeing people who flattered and slapped horses in front of him, and he found it interesting to be as unafraid of authority as Lu Wanting.
