Chapter 60: Marriage Proposal
Dongdu Dongshi Donghuafang Zhaofu Sichu
Donghuafang has a long distance from the imperial city and is adjacent to Jingkangfang. For the officials of the DPRK and China, this fang market is not suitable for living, not because of environmental problems, but because it is too far from the imperial city, and it is necessary to get up early to enter the palace after breakfast.
However, Zhao Yuheng chose Donghuafang because it was quieter than Yihefang and Tai'anfang, and he was not involved in party disputes, and there were not too many officials living next to him, so it would not cause trouble.
You must know that the officials who live in the other two squares are either the prince and his gang, or the prime minister's cronies.
At this time, Zhao Yuheng was full of sick faces, and slowly came to the hall from the inner room with the support of two slaves, only to see that the prince Song Yu was already sitting in the guest seat of the hall.
He was wearing a brown robe, wrapped in cotton clothes, with a long beard, yellow and thin muscles, and because he was sick, he looked very unenergetic.
"Old minister, see His Royal Highness the Prince."
Zhao Yuheng pushed left and right, and was about to bow down and cross his hands to salute, Song Yu hurriedly stepped forward to hold Yuheng's hands, and said softly: "Lord Zhao, you don't need to be polite if you are sick." ”
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie."
Although he didn't have to bow down, Zhao Yuheng still nodded slightly.
"Your Highness, why are you a guest? Chamberlain! ”
Zhao Yuheng frowned, and his eyes glanced at Jin Gu, a white-haired servant standing aside and wearing a light blue thick jacket.
"Yes." Steward Jin bowed down and stepped forward, "Master, what do you command?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand-time body, and you are arranged to be in a guest seat, which is a capital crime!" Zhao Yuheng scolded in a deep voice.
"Master spare your life!" Steward Jin trembled with fright, his feet were limp, and he fell to his knees and prostrate on the ground.
Seeing this situation, Song Yu hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded him: "Hey, Lord Zhao doesn't have to blame this old housekeeper, I came to your mansion to disturb me as a guest, so I should sit in a guest seat." ”
"But ······"
Zhao Yuheng wanted to say something, but Song Yu interrupted directly: "Lord Zhao is older than me, and he is the master of the mansion, so he should respect the lord." I saw a cashmere blanket on the main seat, presumably because the adult was seriously ill, and it was placed for warmth, so it was reasonable, and I couldn't take the lead from the guests, and Lord Zhao didn't have to be so formal. ”
When Yu Heng heard this, he didn't want to say anything, but looked at Steward Jin and said, "If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince's intercession for you, I wouldn't have blamed you today!" Go to the back kitchen and burn wood for a day today, and you will be punished. Let's go! ”
After hearing this, Steward Jin was like being pardoned, so he grabbed the ground with his head and said, "Thank you, master!" Thank you, Your Highness the Prince! ”
"It's all right." Zhao Yuheng said impatiently.
"Yes, yes."
His golden butler whispered as he stepped back, and only turned to leave the hall when he reached the threshold.
Zhao Yuheng glanced at Song Yu very embarrassed, so he called it rude and sat on the main seat.
"I heard two days ago that Lord Zhao was infected with a cold disease, and before I came, I went to the imperial pharmacy and asked the imperial doctor for a bottle of medicine to treat the cold disease," Song Yu said, while taking out a white porcelain bottle that was only the size of a palm and sealed with a red cloth from his arms, "I heard the imperial doctor say that this is for the emperor's father, so the medicinal materials selected are also of the highest quality, and adults only need to take it orally for three days after breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and they can be cured." ”
After saying that, Song Yu handed the medicine bottle to a servant, who took it with both hands, lowered his head, and respectfully served it in front of Zhao Yuheng.
Zhao Yuheng had been staying out of the partisan dispute before, and had little communication with the prince's party, this time Song Yu was suddenly so attentive, Zhao Yuheng felt flattered, the whole person was full of doubts, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Zhao Yuheng thought clearly in his heart, so he got up and crossed his hands, and said with a look of surprise on his face: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is ······ This, the lower official did not assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as wholeheartedly as Lord Jiang, and now His Royal Highness suddenly gave the lower official such a favor, and the lower official was really flattered. But this is the medicine used by the Holy Emperor, and the lower officials are not relatives of the emperor, how dare they use it in vain? Not really. ”
The Lord Jiang he said was naturally Jiang Bi, the secretary of Sinong Temple, and everyone in the court knew that Jiang Bi was the prince's henchman, although he was not the prince's Qingning Palace's vassal, but in terms of court affairs, he did more for the prince than for Emperor Chu.
Song Yu said with a smile: "Lord Zhao worships the Zhongshu Order, is in an important position, is the minister of the emperor's humerus, and you are the only one who decides on important matters of the country. Lord Zhao can use it with confidence, this medicine is a gift from the prince himself, if you don't steal it privately, why not? ”
Zhao Yuheng lightly twisted his long beard and said, "Your Highness, you have something to ask the lower officials this time, right?" Your Highness, but it doesn't hurt to say it, you said it, and the officials can rest assured. ”
Song Yu chuckled: "Lord Zhao is really an upright and loyal minister, since the lord speaks so cheerfully, the prince will no longer twist and pinch." ”
After speaking, Song Yu left his seat and stood in the middle of the hall and knelt down to Zhao Yuheng.
Zhao Yuheng was shocked when he saw this, stood up in a panic, almost fell, and was supported by the slaves on the left and right, so he hurriedly sat down, hugged Song Yu, and said with a frightened expression: "Oops! Your Royal Highness the Prince, what are you, what are you doing? Hurry up! ”
Song Yu still knelt down and said: "Don't hide it from your lord, I am here to ask your lord for marriage this time, I hope your lord can marry my daughter!" ”
Dongdu Dongshi Jingkangfang Tiweifu Sizheng
Ji Yun took out a few herbs from the pharmacy's medicinal herb store, steamed them into soup, and gave them to Xiao Chongguang, and at the same time, he also took out a black clay pot that was only half the size of a palm from his sleeve, poured out a gray-blue pill from the jar, and fed it to Sogo.
"Brother Xiao has taken the medicinal soup that clears heat and detoxifies, plus my Yulu pill, which can temporarily stop the onset and spread of toxicity on his body," Ji Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a little relief, "However, this is only an expedient measure, it can be delayed for two hours at most, to truly detoxify, we must also have the unique antidote of the Pomegranate Flower Palace, the Hundred Flowers Qinglu Pill, so the time left for us is only two hours." ”
Guo Ting said: "Brother Ji, after two hours, wouldn't it be good if you concocted these two medicines in the same way to suppress the toxicity." ”
Ji Yun thought to himself: "Do you think you are hungry to eat?" However, he patiently explained: "It's useless, the ice toad poison is extremely weird, it is in the human body, it will be fused with the medicine that resists it through blood, and when you use the same method to contain it for the second time, it already has the ability to resist this effect, so from now on, my conditioning method is useless for it." ”
Lu Yunsheng gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of ghost poison is this?" It's so ruthless. ”
Ji Yun said: "The ice toad poison is owned by the ice toad that is a specialty of the Pomegranate Flower Mountain, and the people of the Pomegranate Flower Palace pierce the poison gland of the pomegranate with a needle, extract the poison on its body, and then use a low fire to bake it on their secret weapon, the tip of the flying flower needle, killing people." ”
"Hateful!" Lu Yunsheng slapped his palm on the wall angrily, "This pomegranate flower palace was created by a woman, and it should be benevolent to the world, but how did it be so vicious!" The young palace master didn't leave the antidote before leaving, and said that there would be a period after that, and it was clear that there was no date! ”
Lu Yunsheng originally said it well, but no one expected such a joke-like turn at the end, and everyone present was caught off guard and almost laughed.
Ji Yun cleared his throat and said: "Okay, don't be angry, you have suffered such a serious sword wound, don't break the wound, think about it, how many generals and strategists in history died because of the bursting of sores." ”
Lu Yunsheng raised his eyes when he heard this: "Hey, can't you expect me to be okay?" ”
Ji Yun said: "It's you talking and laughing at the big guy, can I not say mourning and restore the atmosphere?" ”
"Hey, you kid······" Lu Yunsheng wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.
"I'm me, what's wrong with me? So much nonsense," Ji Yun teased with a smile, and then returned to seriousness, "As the saying goes, the cure comes from the root, and the poison is in the Pomegranate Mountain, so the antidote is also in the Pomegranate Mountain, which is the habitat of the ice toad - Magnolia Pond, and on the edge of the pool grows a white flower called Jade Makeup Flower, which needs to use the petals of this flower and match the secret medicine of the Pomegranate Flower Palace to make the Baihua Qinglu Pill." In order to ensure that only they can detoxify this poison in the world, there are special personnel guarding near the Magnolia Pond day and night, so the ice toad poison can only be removed by the Pomegranate Flower Palace. ”
Lu Yunsheng said: "Without further ado, it should be too late to catch up with them now." Ji Yun, come with me, Brother Guo, you will stay and guard the Tiwei Mansion and protect Brother Xiao. ”
"Leave it to me." Guo Ting nodded.
"Okay."
Lu Yunsheng replied casually, and was about to leave with Ji Yun, when suddenly, outside the gate of Tiwei Mansion, a noisy sound sounded.
The three of them looked at each other, then walked out of the pharmacy together, and then looked at the door.
I saw a girl in a turquoise satin coat and a fox fur on her shoulders standing outside the door.
The girl had a pair of apricot eyes, her skin was like clotted fat, and her body was as soft as a willow, and she looked delicate and lovely, and she was very beautiful. But at this time, he was puffing up and facing the guards guarding the gate.
Lu Yunsheng and Guo Ting recognized her, this person was the girl named Han Yu who met and clashed on the road last night.
"I said girl, you better go back, this is the Tiwei Mansion, the imperial court institution, not a little girl like you, you can enter just if you want to." The guard on the left side of the gate advised.
Han Yuliu raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't it the Tiwei Mansion, you have an open door facing the sun, why can't you just enter?" ”
"Isn't it the Tiwei Mansion, if you have a kind of family, you can open one yourself! What are you doing here? The guard on the right side of the gate said very politely.
"Okay, okay, don't be like a little girl, just persuade her to go back." The guard on the left said.
Han Yu raised his head and snorted coldly: "Hmph! This girl is going to see you today, and if you can't see you, I won't leave! ”
