Chapter 469: Temptation
The next morning, Tang Shu and the King of Chu came to the Luowang Mansion with a doctor with him. Luo Shuangyi learned about it and hurried to the front hall.
I haven't seen him for a few days, and when Luo Shuangyi saw Tang Shu, he subconsciously looked at it a few more times.
"The courtiers have seen the prince." When he was about to salute, the King of Chu waved his hand to stop, "Everyone is a friend, so there is no need to be so polite." The doctor has already brought it, so let's get down to business first."
"There's Lord Lao."
The three of them left the antechamber and went to the side concubine's courtyard. Coming to the gate of the courtyard, Luo Shuangyi stopped and looked at Tang Shu: "You ......"
Tang Shu understood her concerns, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "I won't go into the inner house." ”
Luo Shuangyi is grateful for Tang Shu's understanding, Concubine Liu's current mood will be more stable, if she sees Tang Shu, according to the previous situation, she may lose her temper again.
When Luo Shuangyi led the King of Chu into the courtyard, the side concubine had already finished breakfast, the weather was good today, the side concubine was going to go to the courtyard for a walk, and when she saw them come in, she smiled and said, "Why did you come here early in the morning, but there is something?" ”
When the side concubine saw the king of Chu, she got up and saluted.
"Yesterday, I saw that my mother was a little unwell, worried that it might be the root of the disease that fell from childbirth, and I happened to meet the king of Chu, and said a few more words, but I didn't expect the king of Chu to come over with a doctor today. Since the doctors have come to the door, let's take a look, if you are sick, you can find it early, and if you are not sick, you can ask for peace of mind, right? ”
"You can talk." Concubine Fang originally wanted to refuse, but Luo Shuangyi said so, if she refused again, it would seem that she was hypocritical. Besides, the doctor was brought by the King of Chu himself, and she couldn't refute the face of the King of Chu.
"Okay, let's see." The concubine sat back at the table and stretched out her wrist. The doctor put the medicine box on the table and checked the pulse.
Luo Shuangyi wanted to get closer to see clearly, but the King of Chu stopped her, "Don't disturb the doctor and the side concubine." ”
"I didn't bother, I just wanted to go over and take a look." Luo Shuangyi was dissatisfied, this was about his mother's health. Why block?
The king of Chu was silent but did not give in, but secretly complained in his heart, didn't Lu Huaiyu pit himself? Luo Shuangyi doesn't look like a person who has no sense of proportion, and he doesn't know what Lu Huaiyu is awkward.
"Niangniang probably hasn't slept well in the past two days, it's not a big problem, wait for me to make a prescription, and I'll be fine if I eat it for two days."
The doctor got up and made a look at the king of Chu. Then I went to the side to write a prescription.
When the concubine heard this, she smiled and lowered her sleeves, "You bothered." I'm okay now, can you rest assured? ”
"Naturally. My mother just gave birth to a little brother, and for the sake of my little brother, my mother should also pay more attention to her body, and when she has nothing to do, she will also find a doctor to take a look. It doesn't hurt either. ”
The few people chatted for a while, and when the doctor wrote the prescription, the three of them went to the front hall together. As soon as he entered, the king of Chu opened his mouth, "How is it?" What disease did the side concubine have? ”
"Back to the prince, the side concubine Niangniang is not a traditional Chinese medicine, but a Gu poison, and the situation is more serious than He Yun said." The doctor finished. Luo Shuangyi frowned, and there was still a little worry in his eyes. Seeing this, Tang Shu stepped forward to comfort, "Don't worry, listen to the doctor's words." ”
"This poison will devour the poisoner's mind little by little, and then ......" The doctor didn't say anything later, but the three of them already understood.
Who the hell dares to kill people under their noses, it is simply bold.
"Miss Luo is a suspicious candidate?" King Chu took the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Since Concubine Liu had an abnormality, Luo Shuangyi suspected Xie Yuxuan the most, but because there was no evidence, there was no way to verify it, so it was not sure that it was her.
She shook her head lightly, "No, my mother's food, clothing, housing and transportation are all in charge, so there should be no problem." After a pause, "But since I already know about this matter, I can't sit idly by, I want to find out the truth." ”
"Nope." Tang Shu and the King of Chu spoke at the same time.
"Why?" Luo Shuangyi was puzzled, "You have also seen that someone wants to harm my mother, maybe this person is not targeting my mother, but Luo Wangfu or me, since something has happened now, I can't act as if nothing happened." ”
"This is dangerous, leave it to me to deal with." Tang Shu said bluntly.
King Chu nodded approvingly, "Tang Shu is right, now the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light." If you search with great fanfare, not only will you not be able to find the murderer, but you may also be in danger to the concubine. ”
"So what else can I do?" Luo Shuangyi was a little dissatisfied, "When you don't know what to do, let others continue to do harm?" ”
"At the moment, in addition to catching the murderer, the most important thing is detoxification." King Chu pointed to the maid next to Tang Shu, "This person knows a little about medical skills, and he also has some research on Gu poison, and the doctor lives in the mansion all day long, so let her follow you recently, nominally a maid, secretly, you can also help the side concubine detoxify." ”
When Luo Shuangyi heard this, his face improved a little, "Thank you, Lord Wang." ”
"This maid belongs to Tang Shu, if you want to thank Tang Shu, thank Tang Shu." The King of Chu stood up with a smile, "The hour is not early, this king will leave first." ”
Tang Shu glanced at Luo Shuangyi, and when he was about to speak, Lord Luo walked in with a little servant.
"Hahaha, it's rare for the two of you to come over together, so stay in the house for a light meal at noon today. It just so happens that the old man also wants to talk to you. ”
King Chu and Tang Shu glanced at each other, and then nodded with a smile, "When the old prince speaks, Xiao Wang is better to obey his fate than to be respectful." ”
When the three of them went to the study together, Luo Shuangyi was looking at the new maid. Zihua saw her look at it again and again, as if she was looking at some rare treasure, and even blushed at the maid opposite, and quickly coughed lightly to remind, "Miss, you haven't asked this sister what her name is." ”
"Oh yes, I almost forgot." She said she had forgotten something, and it turned out to be this.
The maid stepped forward and saluted, "The slave maid is now the young lady's person, and the young lady asks the slave to be called whatever the slave and maid are." ”
"Didn't you have a name before?" Luo Shuangyi was puzzled. The maid didn't speak. Luo Shuangyi thought that she had mentioned her sadness, and she couldn't bear it, "That's ...... Since you know herbal medicine, why don't you take one that is related to herbal medicine? Turning her head to see the prescription on the table, the prescription began with Angelica Angelica, and she said directly, "You will be called Angelica Angelica in the future."
"Thank you, Miss, for the name." Bai Zhi used to be a secret guard, only a code name, no name. When I came here just now, the master said, don't talk about the past, scare the young lady. That's why she was silent just now. As for what Miss had in mind, she didn't know. But she liked the name very much.
"Bai Zhi, are you very good at medicine? I just heard you mention He Yun, you? Luo Shuangyi only remembered what he had just heard until now, and asked.
"Dr. He's old friend is sick and has already left the city, and he told me about the situation of the side concubine before leaving."
Luo Shuangyi nodded, and wanted to ask a few more words, but Bai Zhi said very little, it was all what she asked and what she answered, and it was very simple, after a few times, Luo Shuangyi lost interest.
At ten o'clock at noon, when Luo Shuangyi planned to ask Zihua to pick up the food, the housekeeper came over.
"Miss, the prince asked you to go to the front hall for dinner."
"Didn't Daddy leave the King of Chu and them to eat together? Why did you let me go? Luo Shuangyi was puzzled. Seeing that the housekeeper didn't know, he got up and walked out.
In the front hall, the maid was setting up the meal, King Luo and King Chu were talking happily, Tang Shu was sitting aside, holding a teacup, drinking tea from time to time, looking a little bored.
"Daddy." Luo Shuangyi stepped forward and saluted, glanced at Tang Shu, and thought to himself, what is Daddy doing, is he deliberately telling her that he doesn't like Tang Shu?
"Shuangyi is here." King Luo stood up with a smile, "All the people are full, let's go to dinner." ”
King Luo got up and walked to the dining table, when Luo Shuangyi looked up at Tang Shu, Tang Shu was also looking at her, neither of them spoke, they glanced at each other, and immediately separated. When he came to the dinner table, the king of Chu had already sat down. There was no other place, so the two had to sit next to each other.
I don't know why, Luo Shuangyi was inexplicably a little nervous, probably because he hadn't seen him for too long.
"These meals are what the King of Chu likes to eat, come, try the craftsmanship of the cook. Shuangyi likes to tinker with these things, and even the skills of the chef have improved a lot. King Luo praised Luo Shuangyi, obviously a good word, but Luo Shuangyi always felt that there was something in his father's words.
"The eldest lady's ability, Tang Shu and this king have said a lot." King Chu didn't know if it was deliberate, or if he was in a good mood, he turned his head and glanced at the two of them, and pretended to be surprised and said, "You are so familiar with each other, why didn't you even say a word today?" A few days ago, the king of Japan also asked Tang Shu when he would come to Luowangfu to be hired. ”
As soon as King Chu's voice fell, several people at the table changed their faces one after another.
King Luo looked at Luo Shuangyi, Luo Shuangyi didn't want to embarrass Tang Shu, so he quickly changed the topic, "Today's lunch meal is really good, Lord Wang, you eat more." If you think it's delicious, I can give you a cook or two. ”
"Really? Then there will be more big misses. King Chu smiled. Bow your head and start eating. But the atmosphere at the table was still solemn. During a meal, Luo Shuangyi ate like a fish in her throat, and she didn't dare to gasp until everyone put down their chopsticks.
"Xiao Wang has something to do later, so I won't bother." The king of Chu got up to say goodbye, and Luo Shuangyi followed, "I'll send you off." ”
The three of them came to the courtyard together, and the king of Chu deliberately walked a few steps faster to leave some space for them. Seeing this, Luo Shuangyi became more and more uncomfortable. From time to time, she turned back, for fear that King Luo would look at her from some corner.
"You see me so uncomfortable?"
"No, I didn't mean that, I ......" Luo Shuangyi wanted to explain, but looking at her expression now, it seemed that this explanation was not convincing.
"I really don't, I'm just worried that my dad will embarrass you. Don't think about it. Thank you today. I know that if it weren't for you, King Chu wouldn't care about his mother's affairs. ”
Tang Shu stared at her for a while, making sure that she was not lying, and his face looked a little better.
