Stretched out his hand, grabbed Cao Ying's waist, and hugged her into his arms. Li Xie said helplessly:

"When I entered the palace today, the old man asked me to help him correct the official documents. I can see that his kindness to me has ulterior motives, I treat him as a father, and he actually wants me to be the prince. ”

"Say what? What do you mean by ulterior motives? My father loves you and wants to give you the best, so don't you have to ask you to inherit his throne? Cao Ying rolled her eyes in disgust:

"So, what does this have to do with you letting your parents go?"

"Why doesn't it matter, being an emperor is something that normal people would consider? I'll send my parents away first, and then if the old man pushes me into a hurry, I'll run away without any restraint here. ”

"How can things be like a child, even if your parents leave, can you still leave this country? Since you can't leave this country, it's still under the control of your father. If you still run, can you run to the sky? ”

"You're stupid! That old man still loves me a lot, if I run away for two or three years, he sees that I really don't want to be the emperor, and he will definitely make another plan and train another ** person, and when that person becomes the prince, I can come back immediately. It's all a family affair in his own family, can he still directly send troops to arrest me? ”

After Li Xie finished speaking, he bent down and hugged Cao Ying:

"When I entered the palace today, the old man actually asked me to take a look, is there something wrong with me, it's been so long, I haven't been pregnant with a son and a half daughter, the two of us won't sleep tonight, I'll see if there's really a problem."

Li Xie himself is only ten ** years old, and he is really not in a hurry about whether he wants to have a child. In his concept, even if a man is about 30 years old and has children, it is more than enough.

So he said this purely for flirtation, not so much about whether he had children or not.

But when I heard this, Cao Ying's ears were not like this. There are three unfilial pieties, no queen is the greatest, and it has been more than a year since I got married, and there has been no movement at this time, so there is indeed a problem.

So when she heard this, Cao Ying, who was still a little resistant, immediately stopped making a sound......

The next day, Cao Ying endured the aches all over her body and got up early in the morning. didn't alarm Li Xie, and went downstairs directly after getting up.

Found the cicada clothes:

"Xiaochan, help me take a look!"

"Ma'am, what's the matter? What's uncomfortable? Cicada Yi said, went back to the house and took out a small cloth bag, came to the stone table, and put the cloth bag on the stone table.

Cao Ying put her hand up and took the pulse of Cicada Yi:

"My young master and you have been married for almost a year, and we have a lot of sex, why don't we have any children so far?"

There are a lot of things to do, it's just every day, and it's endless.

Cicada Yi lives downstairs from the two of them, only a plank apart. When Li Xie and Cao Ying were making a fuss, the voice was clearly heard under the cicada.

"There's no problem." If Cao Ying and Li Xie hadn't had any sudden illness, the bodies of the two of them would have been clear.

At this time, for the sake of prudence, Cicada Yi checked carefully again, but still did not find any problems.

"Is it really a ...... Xianggong?" Cao Ying looked at Li Xie and asked tentatively, Li Xie's health was getting better day by day. Cao Ying was too offended, and she also asked Cicada Yi to check Li Xie several times, so Cicada Yi definitely knows more about Li Xie's body.

"My lord didn't find any problems, my lord's body, Mrs. You should know, it's stronger than the mouth of an animal."

For Li Xie, Cicada Yi doesn't need to be checked at all. From the sound he hears every night, you can tell how strong his body is.

"Could that be a minor problem, you can't tell? Why don't you find a doctor to take a look? Cao Ying felt that one of the two people must have a problem, otherwise why didn't they have any children until now.

Generally, when you see a doctor, you will not say in front of him that you will find another person to have a look. But Cicada Yi is his own person, and he is very proficient in this aspect, so Cao Ying didn't have anything taboo in front of him, and asked directly.

"My father once said: The really capable people in the Tai Hospital today have resigned. Even if the little cicada goes to the Tai Hospital, he can be regarded as a master. Cicada Yi was quite confident when she said this, and Cicada Yi said this, which meant that she couldn't see it, and the rest of the people in the hospital probably couldn't see it.

"But my father specializes in injuries and poisons, and he really doesn't have a lot of internal research. Or ......" Cicada Yi said here and paused:

"I know someone who specializes in this, but his identity ......."

"Who is it?" At this time, it doesn't matter what the identity of the doctor is, as long as you can find out what the problem is, then it would be fine.

"The person is in Luotianfu, but he is not a prisoner, but I heard my father say that he seems to be involved in the affairs of some concubine, and I don't know much about the specifics, and my father is secretive.

In short, after resigning, he was not treated well by His Majesty, and once said to him personally: "I don't know what to call if I am imaginative." Therefore, although the princes and nobles knew that he was a skilled doctor, no one dared to go to him for medical treatment. Because of His Majesty's evaluation, he has never seen anyone else again. However, he and my father are confidants, and I beg him, and I guess it will be okay. ”

"Where are the people? Let's go today. "Cicada Yi's medical skills are already very good, her father must be even more superb in medical skills, and he can cherish him, how bad can his medical skills be?

"Good!" Cicada Yi may not have seen this uncle for a long time, but now that she can stop by to have a look, Cicada Yi is also full of joy, so she immediately nodded and agreed, and then couldn't wait to start preparing.

Cao Ying is the princess of a palace, of course her travel can't be too simple, of course, if Cao Ying is like Li Xie, she stubbornly has to go out by herself, and it is okay not to let people follow.

However, this is not in line with etiquette, and if it is known by people outside, it may not be possible to chew the root of the tongue. said that although Cao Ying was not married, she was often informal, as casual as a child of the rivers and lakes, but after getting married, she was still quite strict in terms of etiquette, and she never broke her mouth in this regard.

Cao Ying was also quite anxious about this matter, and she didn't even eat breakfast. said to Li Xie: "I'm going to go out." It doesn't matter if Li Xie is confused, whether he hears clearly or not, and leaves.

Three horses riding, eight maids, nine guards, plus cicada clothes, the group went out of the palace in a mighty way.

A small street near the East City Gate, which is quite far away from the Imperial Palace. It can be said that officials who have a little bit of status and want to rush to the early court will no longer come to live here, because it is too far away to have time.

So the people who live here are either small traders and peddlers, or some workers who work as coolies.

Cicada Yi took Cao Ying and plunged into these small alleys. After walking around for a while, he finally stopped in front of a small portal.

"Madame, this is it."

Cao Ying looked left and right at the rather gloomy alley, a place like this that is damp and lacks light will be a place where a doctor lives?

However, Cao Ying still has a lot of trust in Cicada Yi, so she nodded and motioned for someone to knock on the door. I knocked for a while, but no one opened the door.

"Princess, why don't I go over the wall and take a look." The guards had been knocking on the door for so long, but no one had opened it. So I wondered if there was no one inside, and it was not a way for dozens of people to wait outside in such a group.

"Wait a minute. My uncle has a rather eccentric personality. Cicada Yi didn't wait for Cao Ying to answer, so she preemptively spoke to persuade her.

"Then wait a little longer."

Since Cao Ying opened his mouth and ordered the people below, of course there was no way but to wait here. I waited for another half an hour.

The sun was getting higher and higher, and when it reached the top of the head, it finally shone into this gloomy alley. Some of the adults who went out to make money have already returned.

Seeing that Cao Ying and his party were dressed luxuriously, and so many dramas were watching here with strange eyes

There are many dignitaries and nobles in Luotianfu, and it can be said that a door panel smashed down and killed ten people, at least eight of whom were dignitaries. In a place like Luotianfu, it is not strange to see people dressed in gorgeous clothes, but it is quite strange that people in gorgeous clothes would come here.

"This uncle, is there an old doctor surnamed Hu who lives here still here?" It's not a way for Cicada Yi to see a group of people waiting here, so see that there is a portal open near here. Cao Ying hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"The surname Hu? I've lived here for a while and haven't heard of it. How can a doctor in our remote corner come to live here? I'm afraid the girl is in the wrong place. "Although Cicada Yi is a subordinate, after all, he is a subordinate of the palace, and the clothes on his body are still quite decent.

So when the middle-aged man saw the cicada clothes asking, he was not impatient. I said a bunch of things very patiently.

"Is that yard still inhabited?" Cicada Yi pointed to the courtyard door that had just knocked on it.

"It's inhabited, but he's just moved in. I don't know him very well. ”

When Cicada Yi heard this, her heart sank: "Do you still have an impression of the people who lived here in the last family?" ”

"Ah, that's an old man in his fifties. He has a strange personality and doesn't associate with us, but looking at his posture, he is a capable person. But it's been almost a year since he moved out. ”

"Uncle, do you know where he has moved?" When Cicada Yi heard that she had just moved away, her heart was slightly relieved.

"I've never heard of this, and he doesn't interact with us, so we didn't ask around when he left."

"Thank you, uncle."

"You're welcome, girl!"

The conversation between Cicada Yi and the man did not lower her voice, so Cao Ying heard it clearly here

"Let's go back first, and then think of another way."

After returning to the palace, it was already past lunch time. Cao Ying was not in the mood to eat, so she just ate a snack casually and dealt with it.

Thinking that since he wanted to find out a person's whereabouts, it must be right to find Chen Lin. So Cao Ying called someone over:

"Brother Chen, can you help me find someone?"

"Who is the princess looking for?" For this aspect, Chen Lin is still quite confident.

"His name is Hu Tengmai, and he used to be the director of the Tai Hospital in the palace."

"I'll try my best to find it." Although he was an official of the same dynasty, Chen Lin didn't know Hu Tengmai, and although Chen Lin was very confident in the ability of Zang Feng under his control, he didn't say anything to the fullest.

Cao Ying knew that this was also in a hurry, and if people really couldn't find it, they could only put things aside first.

Chen Lin's ability to find people really did not disappoint, and in just two days, he already had an accurate news:

"Now the people are on the side of the staff dormitory built by the prince."

"He's a subordinate of Xianggong?" The staff dormitory that Li Xie built outside Xicheng was only allowed to live in by those who worked for him. Since this Hu Teng vein has been inhabited, it must be Li Xie's subordinates.

"Sort of." Chen Lin smiled bitterly, this Hu Teng vein is also quite strange, he doesn't do anything for Li Xie, and lives in a simple place all day long. The reason why I can live in the staff dormitory is that I heard that I caught Sun Yunkun's line.

Sun Yunkun, as Li Xie's number one manager in Xicheng, wants to arrange a staff dormitory for a person, is it not simple?

Although Sun Yunkun is no longer in Xicheng now, his prestige is still there. Therefore, no one dares to gossip when Hu Tengmai lives there now, and he is quite comfortable with it.

After having the exact news, Cao Ying didn't have time to wait for the next day, so she took the cicada clothes and went to the staff dormitory outside Xicheng.

Chen Lin directly brought Cao Ying to the door of Hu Tengmai's courtyard:

"People are inside, and I heard that they are locked up in the house all day long, and they don't know what they are doing. He also never let people in, and in this area he is notoriously eccentric. ”

Cao Ying nodded, and personally stepped forward and knocked on the door, after all, Cao Ying was here to seek medical treatment, and it was about whether she could have children, so her posture was very low.

"Who?"

The staff dormitory is not very large, and it is similar to the current two-bedroom, three-bedroom and western-style building. So when this voice came from inside the house, Cao Ying didn't have time to reply. The door was opened.

An old man with a pleasant appearance, but with messy hair and a very sloppy outfit, leaned out of it. didn't look too much, and after seeing that Cao Ying and Chen Lin were both dressed extraordinarily, he closed the door:

"I washed my hands and didn't see a doctor."

Hu Tengmai does not have the interpersonal relationship of high-ranking officials and nobles at all, and today's friends who have the ability are also walking and dying. So after seeing Cao Ying and Chen Lin, Hu Tengmai immediately guessed the person in front of him, and it was estimated that he had come to seek medical treatment.

"Uncle Hu, it's me, little cicada!"

Seeing this, Cicada Yi hurriedly stepped forward and shouted.

Bang.

The door slammed open and slammed into the wall next to it with a loud bang. And Hu Tengmai walked out quickly from inside.

After looking around everyone again, he finally looked at the cicada clothes:

"You...... Are you a little cicada? You've all grown so big? When Hu Tengmai said this, his eyes were filled with tears.

Hu Tengmai is already very old, but he has never married a wife, and he has no children and no daughters. had a good relationship with Cicada's father at the beginning, so it was the same as a person. In this way, cicada clothes have always been regarded by him as a daughter.

When something happened to the Cicada Yi family, although one of the two families lived in a remote corner of the East City, and the other lived next to the palace Da Na, they still went back and forth every few days. This shows that the relationship between the two families is good.

"Uncle Hu, it's me!" Cicada Yi nodded, and when she said this, there was also a crying voice in her voice.

When something happened in the family, Cicada Yi's father was afraid that his close friend would be involved, so he repeatedly warned Cicada Yi that he was not allowed to find Hu Tengmai. If it weren't for the fact that his identity is different now, and it is about Cao Ying and Li Xie, the two people who have the best relationship with him, Cicada Yi would never dare to come to Hu Tengmai.

"Okay, okay, they've grown so big. Come on, come in! Hu Tengmai said, stepped forward and grabbed the cicada's clothes, and was about to walk to the house.

Cicada Yi didn't dare to go inside: "Uncle Hu, I came here this time to ask you for something." ”

Hu Tengmai stopped, looked back at Cicada Yi, and glanced at Cao Ying again: "Coming to seek medical treatment?" ”

Cicada Yi did not hide it and nodded.

Hu Tengmai didn't slam the door and go in like just now, but pulled the cicada clothes and walked in again: "Come in." ”

Entering the house, Cao Ying was shocked by the scene in front of her. The floor is full of books, and when you look at it, it is either a bookshelf or a pair of drawings. And those drawings are all human veins.

Hu Tengmai stepped forward and swept the books that he regarded as treasures and placed them on the table to the floor. I found two more chairs from a pile of books, one for Cicada Yi to sit on, and the other for him to sit down.

"I'll give you a pulse." Cao Ying came to seek medical treatment, and she is not a hypocritical person. Seeing that Cicada Yi was about to stand up in fear, Cao Ying glanced at her and shook her head slightly.

Cao Ying saw very clearly from the series of things just now that Hu Tengmai loved Cicada Yi very much. Cicada Yi said that he asked Hu Tengmai for one thing, and asked him to show Cao Ying.

Originally, Hu Tengmai, who closed the door directly without waiting for anyone to speak, and didn't even let the door in, changed his attitude greatly, invited people in, and gave treatment without saying a word. So what about letting the cicada sit at this time?

As long as the doctor in front of him can be satisfied and take a good look at himself, Cao Ying can even pay any price.

After Hu Tengmai took the pulse for a while, he pondered for a while and spoke:

"You don't have any physical problems, the problems may be with your husband. You call him over and I'll take another look. ”

Cao Ying nodded, and was about to leave, when Cicada Yi saw this, she got up and was about to leave, but Hu Tengmai stopped Cicada Yi again: "Little Cicada Yi, you can stay here." ”
