Chapter Ninety-Four: A Year of Chess
"She went?"
Wei Susu listened to Bi Xue's words, and then his expression relaxed again, leaning on the edge of the corridor and indifferently looking at the boxes of jewels and gadgets that the third prince had brought over: "What if she went?" It is rumored that there is no antidote to that poison in this world, not to mention, she is not a miracle doctor. ”
"The slave thinks the same way." Bi Xue rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "But the slave maid heard that she also brought a doctor, and even the Duchess of Guo also went with her, if Princess Ruyang died in the hands of the doctor she brought, the original alliance of in-laws was only afraid of ......"
Wei Susu squinted at Bixue: "You're getting smarter." ”
Bi Xue hurriedly lowered her head and smiled: "Thanks to Miss's teaching." ”
"Then you go and quietly tell the people of the third prince this matter, we can't touch it." Wei Susu said.
"Yes, slave and maid will do it."
Bi Xue quickly understood what Wei Susu meant, if she really did what they said, Rong Che would definitely find out about Wei Susu soon, but if it was found out that it was the third prince who was behind it, it would have nothing to do with Wei Susu.
Soon, the third prince arranged for the imperial doctor to come to the door.
It's just that at this time, the Ruyang Royal Mansion was already in chaos.
Chi Yang was trembling from crying, and was arranged by the King of Ruyang to wait outside, Wei Qingqing and the Duchess had already forcibly taken Han Xianzi to the inner hall together, and Wei Qingshan and Wei Hu were also there.
The Duchess of Guo pulled Wei Qingqing and went directly to the king of Ruyang and said, "If the prince really wants to save the princess's life, it is best to let our doctor go in and have a look." ”
"Thank you for your kindness, but there's already a royal doctor ...... inside"
"Those quacks, does the prince really believe them?" The Duchess said bluntly.
The imperial doctors present all looked up in amazement. When he saw the distrustful eyes of the Duchess of Guo, he had to bow his head in disgust, and the leader said: "Duchess Guo, the old people have also studied medical skills for decades and treated the nobles in the palace......"
The Duchess sneered: "You golden mean, you are afraid of curing people to death, and you are afraid of curing people, this lady kowtows there, and that lady shows loyalty." Don't think that no one knows about this bit of, even if you first entered the Tai Hospital, you have excellent medical skills, I am afraid that after so many years, it will be wasted. ”
Wei Qingqing looked at the outspoken Duchess and secretly admired it.
The imperial doctors present were red-faced, opened their mouths several times, and were stunned to refute it, but said to King Ruyang angrily: "Lord Wang, since the Duchess of the Kingdom does not trust the ministers so much, it is better to ask the doctor she brought to give it a try, and see what kind of miracle doctor this is." ”
King Ruyang frowned, looked at the confident Duchess again, and finally loosened his heart.
At this moment, the grandmother ran out of the room again, crying with a sad face: "Lord, princess, she has ...... I'm out of gas......"
"Imperial doctor, ...... quickly" King Ruyang subconsciously shouted to the imperial doctor, so angry that the Duchess of Guo couldn't do it, so he stepped forward and pushed him away. directly led Han Xianzi and ran in.
The king of Ruyang was anxious, but he heard a calm and cold voice coming: "In ancient times, Cai Huan was afraid of illness and medical treatment, and only then did a minor illness become a serious disease, and the prince is a reasonable person, although he is not a doctor of illness, but at the moment of life and death, he should always let go of the mustard and save people first." The rest, whether it is to be investigated or vented, will not take the life of the princess. ”
King Ruyang looked back at Wei Qingqing, who was staring at him with blazing eyes, and wanted to scold a few words, but was moved by the extraordinary calmness she revealed.
Could it be that Han Xianzi, who is just now, is his medical skills really above several other imperial doctors?
As he was talking, there was a rumor from outside, saying that another imperial doctor who had asked for a pulse in the Three Princes' Mansion had arrived.
Chi Yang hurriedly asked someone to invite him in, but King Ruyang's face sank a little, and without waiting for Wei Qingqing to speak, he said, "Please ask him to wait in the side hall for a while." ”
"Father's ......"
"Just wait." King Ruyang didn't explain much, and asked a group of people to wait outside, and went directly into the inner room.
Wei Qingqing looked at Chi Yang, who was still confused, although he didn't know the reason why the princess suddenly fell seriously ill, but looking at King Ruyang's attitude towards the imperial doctor from the Three Princes' Mansion, he connected to the marriage a few days ago, and the person related to the Three Princes was Wei Susu, and he roughly guessed a little.
"In the time since the county lord came back, have you heard anything from the princess? For example, things related to the marriage on that day. Wei Qingqing asked her.
"Marriage-related?" Chi Yang wiped his tears, but recalled them carefully, and frowned: "The mother concubine didn't say anything...... It's ......" I mentioned it, so that she should stop having anything to do with Wei Susu.
At the mention of Wei Susu, Chi Yang's mind suddenly cleared up, and he immediately found the grandmother who was serving Princess Ruyang and asked her: "On the day I got married, what was the makeup that Su Susu sent to her, and did the concubine have seen it?" ”
Mama looked at Chi Yang, who was worried, and still told the matter one by one.
It turned out that on that day, the princess was worried that Wei Susu had no good intentions, but she never thought that Wei Susu would be so vicious.
The things she sent that day were ordinary treasures, but as soon as the box was opened, a worm the size of a red fingernail quickly came out, and after biting the princess, she died.
The princess didn't care at first, but asked someone to inspect the treasures, and after making sure that there was no problem, she didn't pay attention to it.
Who knew that from that night, the princess began to show signs of fever, and she is still ill today......
"Is it the bug's problem?" Chi Yang's hand clutched the handkerchief.
"It's not sure yet, the imperial doctors haven't found out what happened to the princess, but the slave suspects that it has something to do with the bug." Mama lowered her eyes and said.
Chi Yang's face turned pale: "Did my father know, that's why he ......?"
Wei Qingqing glanced at Wei Hu at the right time, Wei Hu was also distressed by Chi Yang at this time, and he didn't pay attention to the previous fights, and stepped forward to comfort: "You can rest assured, the princess, she will be fine." ”
"But. But ......" Chi Yang is still young in the end, and he has been spoiled since he was a child, but now he suddenly faced such a big blow, and he couldn't stand it all of a sudden, so he hugged Wei Hu and cried regardless of his body.
Wei Qingshan immediately got up and retreated to the outside with Wei Xun.
Wei Qingqing looked at the inner room and retreated.
As soon as the three of them came out, they saw the imperial doctor from the Three Princes' Mansion who was looking this way.
This imperial doctor didn't seem to know Wei Xun, and seeing that Wei Xun was dressed appropriately, he only thought that he was a relative of the palace, so he came over to take a look and pulled Wei Xun aside, and said in a low voice: "This son's surname?" ”
Wei Xun kept a thoughtful eye and asked him: "You are the imperial doctor from the Three Princes' Mansion." ”
"Yes, I was ordered to see the princess, how is the princess now? Don't hide it from my son, I have also traveled north and south to see a lot of incurable diseases, but now I can't see the princess, I can't help even if I want to. The imperial doctor carefully calculated and wanted Wei Xun to take him inside, so that he could complete the task assigned by the third prince.
Seeing Wei Xun thoughtful, the imperial doctor thought that he didn't believe it, and said: "The doctor brought by the Guogong Mansion this time, I have fought with him, this person's medical skills are acceptable, but it is far from reaching the level of a miracle doctor, and this person is used to playing some tricks, making people believe that the people who are treated by him are incurable, and I also heard that the lady and young lady of the Guogong Mansion brought him." That's when I came in a hurry. ”
The implication of this is that his medical skills are not only above Han Xianzi, but he has long seen through the true face of Han Xianzi, a 'quack'.
Wei Xun understood what he was going to do, paused, and said, "Didn't you just ask me which family's son I am?" ”
The imperial doctor was stunned, nodded with a smile, and saw Wei Xun turn around and point to Wei Qingqing, the young lady of the Guogong Mansion, and said, "I am her brother, dear." ”
The Imperial Doctor froze.
"You don't have to think about it too much, Doctor Han inside, whether it is a real miracle doctor, you will know soon, but your intentions, I will tell you all about it." Wei Xun looked at him condescendingly, although he was a scholar, he had a chilling aura on his body.
The imperial doctor was dumbfounded, naturally knowing that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so he immediately got up to say goodbye and went back to talk to the third prince.
Wei Qingqing saw Wei Xun like this, and vaguely seemed to see him bury himself in the position of a powerful minister step by step.
After waiting for about half an hour, the Duchess came out, although she hadn't seen Han Xianzi yet, but looking at her face, it was obvious that she was fine.
"We're tired today, so let's go back first."
"Is Mr. Han staying?" Wei Qingqing told the matter of the imperial doctor of the third prince,
Duchess just smiled: "Do you think it's easy to be an idle prince under the emperor's nose?" ”
Wei Qingshan and the three of them immediately understood that King Ruyang was not as simple as it seemed, and who was behind it. Presumably he already knew it.
The words are so clear, and everyone naturally has no reason to stay.
It was Wei Hu, who stammered that he wanted to stay with Chi Yang, and Wei Qingshan naturally readily agreed.
With the Duchess all the way back to the Guogong Mansion, Wei Qingqing was thinking about Wei Xun, and soon he was going to release the list, with the eldest brother's style, it is not a problem to enter the top three, so that he can enter the tribute court first, just wait for the spring of next year.
Although Rong Ruizhang also has the right to intervene in the Gongyuan in name, but now Rong Ruizhang's power has been dispersed a lot, he just wants to intervene, but I am afraid that he has more than enough heart and insufficient strength, but Zhu Daxue has more weight in the Gongyuan, and I don't know how the eldest brother will deal with it if Zhu Daxue mentions the family affair with Zhu Zhu with the eldest brother.
"Your eldest brother is twenty years old this year?" After getting out of the carriage, the Duchess suddenly asked.
"Yes." Wei Qingqing replied. But looking at the faintly worried face of the Duchess of the country, she added: "The eldest brother has lofty ambitions and wants to make a name for himself in his career, so he has not married yet." ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Guogong was a little relieved, she was worried that Wei Xun would covet his younger brothers and sisters to marry and marry, and he would have desires, if so, he was afraid that he would be taken advantage of.
Forget about the space next to her, the Duchess remembered what the Grandpa Guo had jokingly mentioned to her two days ago, and she felt a little weird.
"I heard Hai'er mention that your eldest brother is a really talented learner, and this time Qiu Yu must be on the list. These families in the capital, there are many concubines who can't marry highly, or concubines whose reputation is damaged, and they like to take these daughters to match those talented people with a little thinner family. Duchess Guo said slowly to Wei Qingqing as she walked.
Wei Qingqing looked at the corners of her dissatisfied eyes, and knew who she was referring to.
Although there are many concubines in the big house, and no matter if the family affairs have already been arranged, even if it is in their own face, it is impossible to match the concubine, but it is the second room of the country's mansion, most of the concubines have not yet landed, and those who have fallen are not necessarily better than the eldest brother, and there is also a second lady Rong Linlin who is innocent and is taking refuge in the nunnery at the moment.
"The eldest brother has a big idea, and he will get married in the future. I'm afraid he has to nod himself. Wei Qingqing smiled.
Seeing that she understood what she meant, the Duchess of Guo smiled with satisfaction and patted her hand, and smiled and asked her to go back to the Wanqiu Courtyard.
When Wei Qingqing's back was far away, Mrs. Guo said to Mama Cao coolly: "Go, send this to Grandpa Guo as it is." ”
Mama Cao smiled: "Madam, why bother, Grandpa Guo just mentioned it, and he didn't really want to marry the second lady of the second room to the eldest son of the Wei family." ”
"He just mentioned that the second room was afraid that he would have already made this idea." Mrs. Guo sneered: "Fortunately, the ladies in the second room are all mediocre, and they haven't read a few books or know a few words." Otherwise, I really have to worry about asking the son of the Wei family to marry them, it will be really unfortunate for the family. ”
Mrs. Guo did not deliberately conceal this, and it soon reached Tao's ears.
At this time, because Tao was pregnant, he had already taken Rong Linlin down the mountain.
Hearing this, he was instantly angry.
Her hands are still so long, does he think her two sons are so good? It's like no one can give birth to a son......"
Tao scolded, mentioning his daughter and feeling a little weak, and between his words, his head revealed his expectation and pride in the child in his belly.
Rong Linlin leaned against the carriage. Without saying a word, he lowered his head and let Dow go crazy.
When Wei Qingqing woke up from a nap in the afternoon, she heard that their mother and son had returned home.
"Madame is awake."
The pothos came in with a smile, holding a few high-quality woven satins in her hands: "This is sent by the lady just now, saying that the flowers are bright, and I just want to make you two skirts." ”
Wei Qingqing knew that Mrs. Guo was telling her that she didn't have to be afraid of the second room, so she naturally responded.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the bead curtain flicker, and Rong Che's tall figure had already entered.
The pothos and the others all retreated, and Rong Che came over, scooped Wei Qingqing into his arms, and said, "Madame, do you miss your husband?" ”
Wei Qingqing glanced at him, saw that he was in a good mood, and asked him, "Is the second master happy for the eldest brother?" "The eldest brother naturally refers to Rong Hai, since the eldest princess found out the true face of Li Yu's house, the whole person collapsed, Qin Liangye came to look for Rong Hai again and again, wanting him to accompany the eldest princess again as before, although Rong Che didn't say anything on his face, he was still worried that his eldest brother, who had suffered for half his life, could completely let go of this burden.
Rong Che scratched her upturned nose and smiled: "Big brother is out of Beijing to visit his teacher." ”
"Teacher?" Wei Qingqing remembered Yan Ruan, who said he was going to move out a few days ago, and blinked: "With Mr. Yan?" ”
"Well, Yan Ruan's father is the eldest brother's mentor, and this time the mentor wrote to him, saying that he wanted to meet him, and he set off today." Rong Che laughed.
Wei Qingqing looked at him like this, and he also knew that this teacher's so-called 'faith' was also his idea.
But it's okay, Rong Hai's skeletal appearance is really unbearable, if he continues to be entangled with the eldest princess, maybe he will really fall back into it.
After talking about Rong Hai, Rong Che talked about the appointment that he jokingly mentioned on the day of the emperor's birthday banquet.
"It's a first-class guard by the emperor's side, and he actually asked me to be his guard." Rong Che continued to sarcastically in his tone.
The emperor guarded the state mansion. The defense is so impenetrable that the children of the Guogong Mansion still don't have a decent official position, and they only have a title.
Now it's good, Rong Hai reconciled with the eldest princess, but he promoted Rong Che to be his personal guard.
"Second Master is going to be on duty from tomorrow?" Wei Qingqing asked him.
"I'll have to go tonight." Rong Che looked at the delicate little man in his arms, Xu is nap was too stuffy, the light placket on his chest was soaked with sweat, and the water under his eyes was hazy, as if he hadn't woken up yet, he was already very seductive.
But Rong Che still held back, the last time she was happy with her in the daytime, she was so ashamed that she didn't dare to come out of the quilt, Rong Che was really afraid that on such a hot day, she would suffocate herself again.
"This time, your eldest brother Qiu Yan is on the list, I think the emperor means, maybe he will directly appoint him to an official position." Rong Che mentioned Wei Xun, and the emperor's intention was to reuse Wei Xun.
Wei Qingqing couldn't understand what the emperor meant. In this way, not only did he develop the power of the Xinguo Mansion rapidly.
Or is it ...... He had already seen the open and secret battles between several princes, and he was going to make a move.
Rong Che looked at her calm appearance and comforted: "Don't worry, the person in your heart is definitely not the fourth." ”
"It must not be the fifth master." Wei Qingqing replied to him, is that the prince?
The crown prince is really stupid, he didn't go to the birthday banquet for the sake of Concubine Shu last time, how could the emperor hand over the country to him?
Then only the Six Princes remained......
Wei Qingqing looked at Rong Che, and Rong Che's eyes sank slightly: "That's why I let my eldest brother leave the capital first." "Otherwise, the emperor will definitely let the eldest princess be with Rong Hai again, so as to ensure that the Guogong Mansion will do its best to support the six princes who are now helpless.
Even with the entire Wei Mansion, it is also the help of the six princes.
How could the emperor suddenly fall in love with this young son who had been abandoned by him again?
Or did you send the six princes away back then...... It was his first move, and his purpose at the beginning was to protect the six princes.
Wei Qingqing looked at Rong Che suspiciously, and just as Rong Che was about to answer, he heard a rumor that the sixth prince had already gone to the front hall to wait with the holy decree.
"It seems that the emperor really plans to do this."
"Not only that, but he also wants several other princes to clearly see that he wants the Guogong Mansion and the Wei Mansion to support the six princes." Rong Che's tone was gloomy, and Wei Qingqing understood his dissatisfaction even more.
In the eyes of the emperor, the big family of the Guogong Mansion seemed to be lifeless chess pieces, and they were allowed to play with it, and even in the end, Rong Hai was let down by the eldest princess, and the apology expressed by the emperor was just to push the Guogong Mansion to the fire pit harder.
It's no wonder that Rong Che would choose the five princes first.
When he came out to receive the decree, Qin Liangye specially asked Rong Hai's whereabouts, Rong Che had already made a statement, he naturally couldn't find anything wrong, but in the end, he put down the holy decree, Qin Liangye seemed to have guessed the emperor's mind, and said with Rong Che and said with a smile: "I heard from my brother-in-law that the second master is very good at riding and shooting, and I just heard that there is a good place on the outskirts of the city that is surrounded by mountains and rivers. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Rong Che to agree, he looked at Wei Qingqing again: "Then the young lady will go together, and the imperial sister also said that she wants to talk to you." ”
Wei Qingqing looked at Qin Liangye's eyes that had faded from childishness and were already very similar to the emperor, and lowered his eyes.
