Chapter 41: A Sick and Weak Man
"This ......" Aunt Sun was dripping in cold sweat, her lips moved, and she didn't squeeze out a word for a long time.
"Sun, what's wrong with you?" The old lady frowned suspiciously.
Aunt Sun had the heart to refute, she did not say anything about supporting the second master's family to enter Beijing. But confronting the old lady in front of her face and offending the housewife, their mother and son can't afford it!
But if she doesn't refute it immediately, isn't she going to take the blame?
What Chu Cailiang was most afraid of was that the old lady would refuse to leave when he came, and he would also invite the second brother and the third sister's family. Now the old lady is climbing her indiscriminately, isn't this asking for her life?
"Mother, I'm going to pack up," Chu Caijun said happily, "Huilan has long envied the prosperity of the capital, and said that she wanted to take the children to come and see, and now the eldest brother's family doesn't have to worry about food and accommodation, and they are not happy to jump high when they know this good thing?" ”
The old lady's attention was diverted, and she nodded again and again, "Go, go, bring all the children, by the way, you go back and bring a letter to Qiaoqiao's family by the way, and let her bring Brother Chi and Brother Chuang to your eldest brother's house, I haven't seen Qiaoqiao for more than half a year, and I miss it tightly." ”
Chu Qiaoqiao is the third daughter of Lao Taijun, and she is the most favored, and even her two sons Gao Chi and Gao Chuang are the meat of Lao Taijun's heart.
"Oh, I know, my son is leaving."
The old lady nodded with a smile, sent Chu Cailiang out, and praised Aunt Sun in front of everyone, and praised Aunt Sun with a pale and shaky face.
Who the hell hurt her! Is it Wang? Or did the old lady deliberately climb her?
That night, when Chu Cailiang slapped her mouth like thunder, hitting the corners of her mouth with blood, she didn't understand what was going on.
***
"This young lady, it's not that our Lord Wang refuses to see you." The housekeeper in the Zuo Shilang's Mansion of the Criminal Department politely saluted Chu Junlan.
"Ye Gongzi is good friends with our adults, and you were recommended by Ye Gongzi again, our adults should entertain us, but now that there is a big incident in the imperial court, Lord Wang has been busy for two days and has not gone home, I really have no time to take care of him, I am really sorry."
Chu Junlan was a little surprised, "Dare to ask the housekeeper, what happened to the imperial court to make the adults so busy?" ”
"Alas, it's no secret that there was a fraud case in the imperial court, the emperor was furious, and Jin Ke took a lot of water, and now the whole court is in a rumor, and we really don't have the energy to do anything else now."
Chu Junlan nodded understandingly, picked up the letter that Ye Yijian gave her, and left the Shilang Mansion of the Criminal Department.
Yuan Kanghu is still being detained in the prison of the Criminal Department, and the day of beheading is approaching. If she wants to investigate the cause of her biological mother's death, she must not let go of Yuan Kanghu's clue.
Chu Junlan wanted to find out more information, so he went directly to the teahouse last time to listen to the story.
The storyteller really talked about this fraud case.
“…… Or say that Fu Dacai is a genius of Tianzhong, if there is no Fu Caizi's text this time, the Son of Heaven will be blinded, how can he strictly investigate this matter? ”
"Xin Xin students study hard, but some people buy exam questions at a high price, and make money buy articles, and they can be on the list without much effort, how is this fair to poor students? There are so many shady scenes in this imperial examination that it is simply impossible to write......"
"Fu Dacaizi's article, although it was exchanged for three days of street parade, it has benefited the people of the world!"
The storyteller said that the mouth was foaming.
The spectators below listened with enthusiasm and applauded again and again.
Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows.
Unexpectedly, Fu Zhiheng had such a lot of energy.
The last time she saw him parade through the streets, she felt weird, and felt that the emperor's punishment of him was not like a punishment, but like a commendation.
Chu Junlan took a sip of tea, lightly tapped the table with her fingers, and after carefully analyzing the ins and outs of this matter, she seemed to understand everything.
She knew why a talented, knowledgeable, and courageous person like Fu Zhiheng repeatedly stopped trying.
He is the emperor's sword and the mouthpiece of the world's injustices.
The emperor is using him!
Such a person may not be easy to fiddle with when he enters the court, and he may even stir up the wind and rain. But by using him like this, the emperor can achieve his own goals and win the name of Renjun.
"A poor man, too." Chu Junlan sighed twice.
However, she seems to have found a way to overturn the case.
Chu Junlan finished the rest of the tea in one gulp, got up and went to the eldest princess's mansion.
Seeing Chu Junlan coming to the door, the head was overjoyed, and said respectfully: "Third Miss, you came just in time, Ye Gongzi was a little uncomfortable when he got up early today, and the eldest princess also said that she wanted to invite you to come." ”
"What's uncomfortable? It's okay to see at the gathering party before. Chu Junlan walked quickly to the inner house.
"But isn't it, the eldest princess also said so," the head kept up with Chu Junlan's pace, "Ye Gongzi didn't eat much yesterday, and he didn't sleep well at night, he got up early today and was dying, he had no strength, he was lazy to eat, and he was even lazy to move, the villain looked really worried, the eldest princess has been guarding Ye Gongzi today, and she didn't dare to leave half a step, for fear that the disease would happen again." ”
Chu Junlan nodded, "Don't worry, I'll see, it shouldn't be a big reason." ”
"Whoa." The boss finally has a bottom in his heart, and he is diligent in guiding the way.
The eldest princess personally welcomed Chu Junlan into the bedroom.
Ye Yigradually wore a snow-white collared middle shirt, his long hair was scattered and leaned on a dark purple brocade pillow, and the brocade quilt of the same color covered his waist and abdomen, his face was very pale, and he looked like a sick and weak beautiful man.
It's just that when he saw Chu Junlan coming, he still sat up straight and said with a smile: "You are here." ”
As soon as Chu Junlan saw his complexion, his face was condensed, and he took a few steps to the front of the couch and pinched his wrist.
Seeing that she was so impatient, Ye Yi gradually smiled and said, "It's okay, maybe I felt cold yesterday." ”
"Don't talk."
Ye Yi was gradually suffocated, smiled helplessly, and looked at her long eyelashes slightly drooping at close range to concentrate on checking her pulse, and felt a little happy in her heart.
In the past, it was extremely easy not to speak, but now, he couldn't help but want to chat with her.
Ye Yi was gradually distracted, and suddenly felt a numbness in his fingertips, and when he looked down, he saw Chu Junlan piercing his finger with a silver needle, twisting away a drop of black blood.
"This ......" The eldest princess stretched her neck to look here, and was about to exclaim, but was stopped by a look from Chu Junlan.
Twisted the black blood on his fingertips, sniffed at the tip of his nose, and stretched out the tip of his tongue to taste it.
Ye Yi gradually saw her move, and his face became hot.
"Third Miss, you ......"
Chu Junlan ignored it, and said with a smile: "Eldest princess, Ye Gongzi's body is well, and the person who is responsible for serving food and living every day has made a lot of contributions, why don't you invite someone to come today and reward you in person?" ”
The eldest princess was stunned, vaguely understanding something.
"That's what you said." Looking at the maid outside, the eldest princess's voice was slow, "Did you hear Miss Chusan's words?" Pass the word, let everyone who serves gradually come, and the palace will be rewarded. ”
"Yes." Immediately, a handmaid cheerfully went down to spread the word.
Chu Junlan turned around and faced the eldest princess and Ye Yichuan, and did not explain, but took a silver needle, pierced the tips of Ye Yichuan's fingers and toes, squeezed out the black blood little by little, wiped the blood with a snow-white handkerchief, and used the silver needle to take the acupuncture points to protect his heart, and then went to the side to open a prescription and handed it to the eldest princess.
"Prepare it immediately, this is a medicinal soup for bathing."
The eldest princess nodded, squeezed Chu Junlan's hand gratefully, and immediately called her confidant to handle the matter.
After a short time, the head of the department brought all the maids and mothers-in-law who were serving Ye Yigradually, as well as a few palace people and the mothers-in-law who were on errands in the kitchen.
Hearing that there was a reward, everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles, and they stood all over the room in the spacious Ming Hall outside Ye Yi's bedroom.
Chu Junlan walked between the crowd with his hands, and finally stood beside a servant girl in the year of peach and plum.
"What kind of incense is used on my sister's body, it smells so good." Chu Junlan asked with a smile.
