Chapter 351: Princess Yu reveals her identity
"Anyone? Anyone? Guard Ling slapped the door of the yamen vigorously. The pedestrians coming and going on the side of the road all looked at Ling Guard with strange eyes, everyone knew that the county lord had always disliked to deal with trivial matters in the afternoon, and if there was anything that could not be done tomorrow to beat the drums, it would be unpleasant to come to find it today.
"What the hell is today, there are people knocking on the door one after another, can you still let people have a good rest." The official muttered when he heard a knock on the door.
"What is the matter with you, how dare you make a loud noise in front of the official mansion." As soon as the official finished dealing with Li Langzhong's affairs, he was called up again after a while, and he was very unhappy.
"May I ask if there is a Li Langzhong who has come to the official mansion? I'm in a hurry to find him, do you know where he is? ”
The official thought to himself, this Li Langzhong can't be the broken old man who came in the morning, but he can't let this person find out that they tied Li Langzhong, otherwise I don't know what moths this person will give birth to. The official then said: "Li Langzhong? Haven't heard of it. Are you a shelter in our official government, anyone who wants to enter can enter. Look elsewhere and stop making noise here. ”
After listening to the words of the servant, Ling Guard thought that Li Langzhong was delayed by other matters, so he didn't go back to the pharmacy, so he was going to look for Li Langzhong in the city, anyway, Wan'an County is so small, he should find it immediately.
Ling Guard had barely taken two steps when he was stopped by a street vendor.
"This son, are you looking for someone?" The vendor asked with a grin. He had been setting up a stall here since the morning, and had witnessed everything that had happened in front of the official mansion, and he had just heard the conversation between the Ling guards and the officials, and he felt that the Ling guards had come to find the old man. The vendor saw that Ling Guard's spirit was magnificent, and at first glance he was the son of a big family, and he would definitely bring a lot of silver taels, so he wanted to exchange the old man's information for some money.
"Yes, did you see an old man come to the government in the morning?"
"Does this old man have gray hair and a thin body, and he looks like a healer?" The vendor described.
"Yes, yes, that's him, do you know where he went?" Guard Ling asked anxiously, he wanted to quickly find Li Langzhong and bring him back to Princess Yu for treatment.
"Childe, I said it was okay to hear this news, but..."The vendor gestured to ask for money.
Seeing this, the Ling guard took out a few taels of broken silver from his pocket and put them on the vendor's table, and the vendor hurriedly put the broken silver in his pocket, for fear that he would be taken back in the next second. After getting the money, the merchant flattered and said, "This old man came to beat the drum early this morning, and at first the official did not let him in, but then for some unknown reason the old man still went in, and he has not come out until now."
"Is that true?"
"Naturally, if you take your son's money seriously, you will definitely not talk nonsense." The vendor affirmed.
"Since Li Langzhong has been to the official mansion, why did the official lie to me just now, there must be some reason for it." Ling Shouwei thought to himself. He was going to the government to find out.
Because there was nothing to do in the official mansion on weekdays, and everyone was very idle, so the guard was not very strict, so Ling Guards easily climbed over the wall from behind the official mansion, and no one noticed him.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was stunned by the scene in front of him, although the outside of this courtyard looks very simple, but the courtyard is surrounded by green willows, there are hand-copying verandahs on all sides, Yonglu is connected, the mountains and stones are embellished, and the five hugging buildings are hanging. The whole courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, the garden is splendid, clear and exquisite, the backyard is full of roses, treasures, and a pool, where is a county lord living place, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a prince and noble.
Then Guard Ling saw the door of a room open and there was no one inside, so he quietly slipped in. Compared with the courtyard, the room of the official mansion is more splendid, the delicate carved decoration on the table and chair is not simple at a glance, the guqin stands in the corner, near the window, there are a few pieces of rice paper on the pear blossom wooden table, a few big characters are hastily written on it, the four corners of the room stand white marble pillars, the walls around are all carved white stone bricks, the orchids carved from gold bloom charmingly between the white stones, the cyan gauze curtain ripples with the wind, if the Ling guards are not in a hurry to find Li Langzhong, I am afraid they would have fainted long ago. Two words kept popping into his mind: luxury.
Judging from the current situation, this county lord has embezzled a lot of money, Ling Shouwei thought to himself. Then he went out and turned into a small secluded corner.
"Hmm... Hmm..."Guard Ling heard the movement, he followed the sound and searched for it, the more he walked inside, the more clear the sound became, until he came to a dilapidated wooden door, and he was sure that the sound he heard came from this room.
"Li Langzhong? Is that you? The guard said tentatively.
"Hmm...", the only voice that responded to him.
The Ling guard was about to push the door in, but found that the door was locked, so he kicked the door open. Because this firewood house is far away from the main hall and is unguarded, no one will hear the sound here.
Li Langzhong saw that the person who came in was Ling Guard, his face was red with excitement, and his eyes were shining with tears.
When the Ling guards saw that Li Langzhong was tied up, their hearts were full of doubts, but he couldn't ask so much, Princess Yu was still waiting for Li Langzhong's treatment, and it was not too late to ask after he healed the princess. So he used skillful techniques to help Li Langzhong untie the rope, and then carried him to the White Tiger Tower.
Li Langzhong was first tied up in the firewood room by the officials today, and then carried around by Ling guards on the road. He felt like his bones were falling apart.
After arriving at the White Tiger Tower, Li Langzhong did not rest for a while, and went straight to Princess Yu's room. Li Langzhong asked the maidservant to prepare a thick gauze cloth for him to cover in front of him, because he suspected that the plague might spread through the air, so it was better to be careful.
When Mama Zhang saw Li Langzhong, she seemed to see a life-saving straw. "Li Langzhong, you are here, come and see our wife. Madame had woken up this morning, but for some reason, Madame suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and fell asleep again. When I fell asleep, my body was shivering all the time, and when I coughed, I would cough up blood. He said anxiously, since the Ling guards went to find Li Langzhong, Princess Yu had intermittently had a few times, and every time she got up, she kept coughing up blood, and then fell asleep again.
"It's getting worse than ever." Li Langzhong's face sank, he didn't expect that this plague would invade people's bodies so quickly, that people didn't have time to react at all. This lady has drunk medicine to treat her, and the villagers in the village who are infected with the plague are good. If you don't find the source of the plague quickly, judging from the speed of the spread of the plague, it will soon spread to Wan'an City, but it is impossible to ask the county lord to help him.
Thinking of this, Li Langzhong was a little irritable, and then he shook his head, now he has to stabilize this lady's condition first.
"Now I need a precious herb - Fang Soul Herb, only after taking this dose of herb can it be possible to hang my wife's breath, so that I have time to investigate the root cause of the epidemic, so that I can prescribe the right medicine." Li Langzhong said with a sad face. "But the last time I heard about this herb was half a year ago, and one day there was a poetry conference organized by the county lord, which seemed to be to celebrate that he had obtained the Soul Herb."
"I'll go to the yamen and ask them for the Soul Grass." After Guard Ling finished speaking, he prepared to leave.
"Childe is slow. Early this morning, I went to report to the county lord that there was a plague in the village, and asked the county lord to help me gather some county doctors to go to the village to find the source of the plague. But the county lord said that he had already dealt with the matter, so don't let me meddle in my affairs. They tied me up before I could ask why. I don't think it's as simple as it seems. Li Langzhong said with a solemn expression. He was afraid that if the Ling guards went to the official mansion recklessly, not only would they not be able to get the Fang Soul Grass, but they would also be arrested by the county lord.
"If there is no Soul Herb in medicine, can we let our lady's condition worsen? I, Ling, am going to rob it today, and I want to snatch the Fang Soul Grass Bush Mansion out. ”
"Don't be reckless, Guard Ling." How persuasive.
"Guard Ling?" Li Langzhong was puzzled, isn't it only the entourage of the official family called the guards, isn't this lady the mother of a high-ranking official.
Mama Zhang felt that she could no longer hide Princess Yu's identity at this moment, and only by going to the official mansion to show her identity card could she get Fang Soul Grass to save the princess's life. But now that Princess Yu is about to fall asleep, it is extremely difficult for her to speak when she is delirious, and I am afraid that she will not be able to make any decisions.
In order to save the princess, Mama Zhang couldn't take care of so much red tape, so she made up her mind. went directly to the princess's green jade box and took out the token of the prince's mansion.
"Our lady is the princess of today's Yu Palace." Mama Zhang said to Li Langzhong. "I am Mama Zhang, who takes care of the princess's daily life, and Li Langzhong also calls me Mama Zhang."
Princess Yu? The mother of the son of the present day? Li Langzhong pinched his arm, "Hiss..." Li Langzhong didn't expect that in Wan'an County, a remote small county, there would be a big man like Princess Yu.
"I hope Li Langzhong will keep this secret for us, our princess doesn't want others to know her identity." Mama Zhang said.
"Well... Okay, Mama Zhang. Because the news was too shocking, Li Langzhong stammered when he spoke.
"Without further ado, let's go now, the princess's illness cannot be delayed for a moment. Let's take the princess directly to the official mansion, my ability alone must be limited, and I can ask the county lord to summon more famous doctors to treat the princess. Li Langzhong already knew the identity of Princess Yu, and he also had a little confidence in his heart, with such a big man here, presumably the county lord didn't dare to say anything.
Mama Zhang thought about it for a moment and felt that what Li Langzhong said made sense.
"Okay, just do what Li Langzhong said."
The group went to the official mansion.
