Chapter 222: The Emperor's Quirks

Leng Yi couldn't sit still, so he decided to discuss with someone, and that was Cheng Luojie. Cheng Luojie is the personal guard of Queen Kaibao, and she may know what is going on.

Leng Yi ordered Cheng Luojie to come to see him. Cheng Luojie is now in charge of Zhuo Qiaoniang's security, so she waited for a while before arriving.

Cheng Luojie came in, looked at him, and said as calmly as possible: "You called me something?" ”

"Well, there's something I don't understand, it involves the palace, so please help me with the staff." Leng Yi closed the door.

Cheng Luojie's face was slightly red, and she said in a low voice: "Don't close the door, otherwise let Mrs. Zun know, I'm afraid it's uncomfortable, and her body can't stand the stimulation anymore." ”

Leng Yi said: "This matter is very important, and it is still impossible for others to hear it, and the door must be closed." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I painted a painting, my confidence is very good, the emperor will definitely like it, and I believe that the emperor will appreciate my painting talent when he sees it, so he will definitely summon me to Beijing, but I have waited for so long, but I still have not been summoned by the emperor, I want you to help analyze it, what is wrong?"

"You can also draw?" Cheng Luojie said curiously: "Why haven't I heard from you?" ”

"Hehe, I didn't say it."

"Do you think your painting emperor will definitely appreciate it? Will you be summoned to Beijing too? ”

"Yes," Leng Yi thought for a while and said, "Let me tell you the truth, my lady's illness is very serious, and only the emperor's imperial doctor can cure it." So I showed my skills, wanted the emperor to appreciate me, and summoned me to Beijing, and at that time, I could ask the emperor to appoint his imperial doctor to help my lady heal. ”

Cheng Luojie smiled and said, "Isn't it just to find a doctor to treat the disease?" There's no need to work so hard, I ask Empress Kaibao to make a decree, and the imperial doctor must obey his orders. ”

Leng Yi shook his head and said, "This time is different. ”

"How is it different?"

Leng Yi thought about it and decided to tell Cheng Luojie about this matter, after all, after entering Beijing, many things had to rely on her to make ideas, if she didn't know the seriousness of the matter, maybe she would make a mistake. At the moment, he said: "The emperor's imperial physician has a person named Hua Mingzun, do you know him?" ”

"Yes. is a stubborn old man, his surname is very strange, he only listens to one person, that is the current emperor, the emperor asked him to heal, he treated, others, it depends on whether he is in love, he is not willing to treat the person, even if he kills him, he will not be cured. His medical skills are very high, I have seen him treat people, just a golden needle, it is really a needle to get rid of the disease! It is said that so far, no one who has been healed by him has died of illness! People call it 'ghost sorrow'. Many ministers of the imperial court came to him for medical treatment, but there were also many ministers who could not ask him to treat their illnesses, so they fell ill and died. There are also concubines among them! Because the emperor also did not want to always order him to treat people he did not want to treat. So he was rarely ordered to be treated. Unimportant concubines, if he doesn't want to govern, the emperor will not order him to govern. I heard that up to now, the emperor has decreed that no more than three people should be healed by those he does not want to treat. And it's all cured. - What's wrong with him? ”

As soon as he heard Cheng Luojie's words, Leng Yi's mood became even heavier, and he smiled bitterly: "My lady's illness can only be treated by people who are good at the thirteen needles of the ghost gate." And there are only three people in the world who know this acupuncture, and two of them are Hua Wuxiang and her grandmother from the 'Hua's Pharmacy' where I took my wife to see a doctor. The other one is Hua Wuxiang's uncle, who is also a teacher, and it is Hua Mingzun, the personal physician of the current emperor just mentioned. And Hua Wuxiang and her grandmother can't cure my mother's illness, only Hua Mingzun can cure it. ”

"Huh?" Cheng Luojie also had a premonition that there was trouble, "Maybe he fell in love with Mrs. Zun and was willing to heal her!" ”

Leng Yi shook his head: "Now it seems that there is almost no such possibility!" ”

"Why?"

"Because, although Hua Mingzun and Hua Wuxiang's father are brothers, there are deep contradictions between the two families. If he knew that my lady had been treated by Hua Wuxiang, he would never have come to his rescue. Hua Wuxiang and her grandmother have no way to save my mother, she can only temporarily save my mother's life for half a year, that is to say, I must find a way to let Hua Mingzun save my mother within half a year. If Empress Kaibao issued an edict to let Hua Mingzun be treated, as soon as he examined it, he immediately knew that my lady had been treated with thirteen needles from the ghost gate, and he would immediately know that it was made by the enemy Hua Wuxiang. He won't heal! ”

Cheng Luojie looked at him with her mouth open, and after a while, she understood a little and said, "Madame's illness is really so serious?" ”

"If it weren't for Hua Wuxiang's treatment with the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate, she would have died the night I hugged her for medical treatment. Now, she also relies on thirteen needles from this ghost gate to continue her life, at most, but only half a year's life, and she will soon have symptoms of paralysis and deafness. By now, her body is obviously much weaker than before, and she can't even get out of bed......"

Cheng Luojie whispered apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that Madame's illness was so serious. ”

"I must save her! No matter what the cost! ”

"How about a different doctor? Maybe there are other doctors who can do it. ”

"It's useless, Dr. Sun and other famous doctors in Bazhou have seen it and said that it is a terminal illness. There is no cure. It's also very accurate, there is not much time, and I can't go to the doctor slowly. The doctor with the most brilliant medical skills in the entire Great Song Dynasty is, of course, the imperial doctor beside the emperor. Therefore, it is a shortcut to go directly to him for healing! ”

"I see!" Cheng Luojie said: "Do you want to use the method of offering pictures to the emperor, and ask the emperor to give an order to let this flower be healed by Mrs. Zun?" ”

"Yes. However, my drawings have been sent, and until now, the emperor has not summoned me, what do you think is going on? ”

"Perhaps, well, don't be angry, maybe your drawings are really good, but, perhaps, the emperor is not interested in the drawings you offer. After all, there are too many court painters around the emperor, and the palace treasures are all rare and precious paintings. It is normal to be looked down upon by the emperor. ”

Leng Yi shook his head and said, "If you don't understand, the emperor must be able to see it." - In this way, you can help me analyze from the perspective that the emperor has taken a fancy to, why didn't the emperor summon me to Beijing to help him paint? ”

Cheng Luojie said curiously: "Even if the emperor takes a fancy to your painting and you offer it, the emperor will reward you with a big deal, why do you have to summon you to Beijing?" ”

Leng Yi said: "There is another reason for this, well, it's not convenient to say." ”

"If you don't say it, how do I know, and how can I help you analyze?"

Leng Yi said: "Well, let me tell you, what I offered to the emperor was a spring palace painting painted by myself!" ”

Cheng Luojie's face suddenly turned red, she took a sip lightly, and said, "How can you offer this kind of thing to the emperor!" ”

"You don't know, the emperor's favorite is the Spring Palace...... painting"

"How I didn't know! I was a palace guard. Cheng Luojie blushed and said: "He likes to collect this kind of painting the most, and he also has a strange ......."

"What's weird?"

Cheng Luojie was so ashamed that even the back of her neck was red, and she lowered her head and replied shyly.

Leng Yi went over and hugged her. Caressing her twin peaks.

"You, what are you doing?" Cheng Luo was infinitely shy, and said in a trembling voice, but she was powerless to struggle, "I said, let's not do this in the future, let your wife know, her illness will be aggravated......"

Leng Yi exposed her tighter, kissed her red lips, gave her a deep kiss, and said, "Tell me quickly!" What's so strange about the emperor? ”

Cheng Luojie buried her face in his arms and said, "Brother Yi, we really can't do this, what can we do in the future if we ...... like this......

"I'll talk about things in the future, now you tell me what the emperor is weird, I must know it, so that I can find a way to let him give an order to help my lady heal!"

Hearing Leng Yi talk about his mother-in-law, the blush on Cheng Luojie's face quickly disappeared, replaced with melancholy, and said quietly: "When, you are also so anxious for me, I will die, and I will be happy!" ”

Leng Yi hugged her tightly and said in a low voice: "Stupid words! You're my sweetheart! If you are sick, I am as distressed and anxious as I am! ”

"Really?" Cheng Luojie looked up at him, her eyes full of happiness.

"Really! I swear! Leng Yi raised a hand, "If what I just said is a lie, it will be ......."

Cheng Luojie's red lips blocked his mouth all of a sudden, and after kissing for a long time, she slowly let go, looked at him, and whispered softly: "I don't want you to swear, I believe it!" ”

Leng Yi kissed her and said: "I plan to do this in private, if I can meet the emperor smoothly, I beg him to order Hua Mingzun to cure my lady's illness, and I also ask the emperor and Empress Kaibao to withdraw your marriage with the emperor's guard leader Long Zhen, and promise you to me, my wife will agree, she said so before." ”

Cheng Luojie looked at him, put her face on his chest for a while, and said, "If you have this heart, I will be satisfied." However, if you don't know what's hidden in it, it's impossible to revoke the marriage......"

"Why?"

"Don't say that, anyway, I'm glad I know you think so! Let's find a way to save your lady! - Let me tell you, what is the emperor's eccentricity? Cheng Luojie was about to speak, but she felt shy, and buried her head in his arms, so she said in a low voice: "The emperor, he likes to ...... when he has sex with his concubines, and let the painter be on the side...... Draw it down ......"

Leng Yi smiled, of course he knew this secret. This kind of hobby exists in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, and in today's society, it is called 'selfie'. There is not a male movie star in Hong Kong who has this hobby, and filmed the scene of his affair with a famous female movie star, but he didn't hide it well, and he made a nude photos scandal. Leng Yi also knew that Emperor Zhao Guangyi also had this weirdness, so he did what he liked, saying that the portrait of the star was painted by himself, and he was convinced that the emperor knew about it and would definitely invite himself into the palace to help him paint.

Leng Yidang pretended not to know, and said with surprise and joy: "Really? That's just right. I'm very good at it, and I can't paint the Spring Palace. ”

Cheng Luojie looked up at him, smiling: "How did you get this ability?" Could it be that you've painted a lot of bare-ass women? As he spoke, he couldn't help laughing, eating and laughing.

Leng Yi also smiled: "I just want to paint it for you, next time, when we are **, I will also draw it, okay?" ”

"Phew!" Cheng Luojie blushed and said, "Draw it when you are with your lady!" ”

Leng Yi's smile immediately stiffened, and he said in a low voice: "If her illness can't be cured, I'm afraid that she will have this heart, and she won't have this blessing......"

"I'm sorry!" Cheng Luojie kissed him apologetically and said, "Let's hurry up and find a way to treat her." ”

"Hmm!" Leng Yi nodded, smiled reluctantly, and said: "I am very confident in my ability to paint the Spring Palace painting, the painting technique I used in the Spring Palace painting is not what any other painter will not and cannot learn." I'm sure the Emperor will be interested, but I just don't know why the Emperor hasn't summoned me. If I don't see the emperor, I can't ask him to heal my wife. ”

Cheng Luojie thought for a while and said, "Few people know about the emperor's hobby, and he doesn't want people to know about it. Especially now that he has just ascended the throne, he needs a good image, and it is impossible for others to know about such ugly things. Therefore, I think that even if the emperor appreciates your ability to paint the Spring Palace, he will not easily issue an edict to summon you to Beijing. Because, he is not sure whether you are a person he can trust. ”

Leng Yi's heart was shocked, yes, why didn't he think of this? This is a photo of the Spring Palace on the spot, which not only involves the display of the emperor's concubine's delicate body, but also involves his reputation. Once it leaks out, even if he beheads all the people, it is useless, and his reputation has been destroyed, especially since he has just ascended the throne now, he will be very cautious.

Leng Yi said: "I should be his trustworthy person, otherwise, he wouldn't have put me in charge of finding the Jinkui Covenant!" ”

"You're right, you are indeed a trusted person in this regard, but he believes that you are loyal to him, and it does not mean that he can let you visit him and his concubines!"

Leng Yi smiled: "Then how did he ask the court painter to paint him a painting of the Spring Palace?" ”

Cheng Luojie looked at him strangely: "Do you really don't know or fake don't know?" - That painter is a eunuch! ”

"Huh?" Leng Yi smiled embarrassedly, "That's it, what can I do?" You won't let me wield a knife from the palace to let me paint him, right? ”

Cheng Luojie smiled mischievously: "You are from the palace, what should I do?" After speaking, he blushed with shame.

Leng Yi kissed her: "It's still true!" You know a lot about the emperor, help me with an idea! ”

Cheng Luojie tilted her head, thought for a while, and said: "You use the method of painting the spring palace for the emperor to ask the emperor to help, this is too dangerous, it can't be done, you painted the scene of the emperor and his concubine together, and later, when he saw you, he remembered that you had seen the body of his concubine, and he always felt that he had suffered a loss, and he would find a reason to kill you!" ”

"Doesn't the Great Song Dynasty have rules for not killing scholars?"

"The rules are all set by people, and besides, if the emperor wants to kill you, he doesn't necessarily have to kill you through conviction."
