Chapter 114: King Shu doesn't drink medicine
The Sacred Heart was unpredictable, and they had been pondering for a morning, not to mention the others in Bianliang City.
This holy decree to pacify Dingzhou made many people in Bianliang City not sleep well.
For example, Shu Wangfu.
Lu Chengxiu couldn't sleep for two days in order to speculate on this holy will, and the injuries on his body were not good, so this worry pulled out a whole body of illness.
King Shu caught a chill.
When the imperial doctor came this day, Lu Chengxiu had just gotten up, he didn't sleep well, the wind chill was getting worse and worse, and his always cold face had a tired look.
People like the Imperial Doctor are a little verbose:
"Your Highness, didn't you drink the medicine that Weichen prescribed to you yesterday?"
Lu Chengxiu silently withdrew his hand, and his tone was very cold: "Your medicine is sour and astringent, and this king ordered someone to pour it." ”
The imperial doctor raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and couldn't help but persuade again: "Your Highness, your old injury has not healed, and you have a cold again, how can you not take medicine." Although the taste of the medicine prescribed by Weichen is astringent, it is indeed because of the addition of tangerine peel and other medicinal materials, His Royal Highness does not think about eating and drinking all day long, and does not take medicine. ”
Lu Chengxiu was really annoyed by his quarrel, so he waved his hand and said, "If you can save it, you will eat it today." ”
The imperial doctor was relieved when he heard this, and wanted to retreat and then instruct the steward of King Shu's mansion, but he didn't go out yet, but he heard Lu Chengxiu's voice coming.
"Imperial Doctor, do you say that if this king is really bad, will the Holy One hold you accountable?"
The imperial doctor broke out in a cold sweat again, and when he didn't know how to reply, he saw Lu Chengxiu wave his hand, and then he walked out of the house in three steps and two steps.
After the imperial doctor left, Lu Chengxiu couldn't help but sigh lightly, silently muttering the words "Sacred Heart is unfathomable".
After another cup of tea, there was a knock on the door outside.
Lu Chengxiu coughed lightly, thinking that the medicine newly prescribed by the imperial doctor had been decocted, so he instructed the people outside: "You don't have to bring it in, it's still poured, don't let the imperial doctor see it." ”
But he didn't want the people outside to respond, but pushed open the door and came in by himself.
Lu Chengxiu was stunned and looked up at the person who came.
"Guogong?"
The person who came was Ning Guogong, still wearing a thunderous brocade and jade belt, with a smile on his face, and a bowl of thick black decoction in his hand.
He smiled and put the decoction in front of Lu Chengxiu, and his voice was not loud: "Your Highness doesn't drink the medicine, how can the disease be cured." ”
Lu Chengxiu coughed lightly again, softened his body back into the chair, looked at the dark decoction that night, and smiled bitterly:
"If the illness is not cured, it can still be claimed to be sick, but if the illness is cured, it will not be speculated that it is really because of excessive worry."
When he said this, Lu Chengxiu's pale face and the two dark blues under the corners of his eyes were particularly eye-catching.
Ning Guogong snorted lightly, and stretched out his hand to bring the medicine bowl closer to Lu Chengxiu, "My daughter is worried about His Highness's body, this medicine is still good to drink." ”
His daughter is naturally referring to Jiang Rou, the county lord of Ningguo.
Lu Chengxiu frowned, and the three words Jiang Rou suspicious flashed in his mind, and the girl snuggled beside him and whispered softly: Cousin Ah Xiu.
Unconsciously he reached out and rubbed his temples, and with his other hand he took the medicine bowl.
The thick black decoction was drunk as soon as it was drunk, but it was not bitter, but even if it was bitter, it became sour when it fell into the person's mouth.
He drank it, put down the medicine bowl and looked up at the sky outside the window.
The sky was a little hazy today, not as sunny as the previous two days, but because of this gloomy weather, he felt even more dull in his chest and couldn't breathe.
Ning Guogong came over in person, naturally knowing what Lu Chengxiu was worried about.
He personally poured a glass of warm water for Lu Chengxiu and handed it over, saying, "Gu Jiangyuan is coming back soon." ”
Lu Chengxiu frowned: "Now that Gu Jiangyuan has returned to the dynasty in triumph, it is difficult for my father to guarantee that he will not hold a marriage for his daughter and Lu Guitang, so that he not only has the military power of his relatives, but also the 100,000 army in Shuobei." ”
This was the worry in his heart for days.
On that day, Ning Guogong lied in front of the saint, and Lu Chengxiu and Ning Guogong left the palace early, they only knew that the saint later summoned Lu Guitang into the palace to be accountable, but they didn't know the details, until the holy decree to appease Dingzhou came down, they still couldn't figure out the saint's thoughts.
Since he summoned Lu Guitang into the palace to be held accountable, why didn't he be held accountable and put him back in the house to live a peaceful life?
The reason for this, Lu Chengxiu thought about it for two days and two nights and couldn't figure it out.
Ning Guogong didn't ask him about his worries, but only echoed: "Yes, as soon as this family affair is over, the power of 150,000 troops will be in hand, even if the saint does not have the will of the prince, the direction of the wind in the court will change." ”
Lu Chengxiu frowned, it was powerful, he didn't know.
"But this family matter has already been decided, and it is only a matter of time before the Xianwang Mansion and the Gu family get married."
Ning Guogong smiled: "But the matter of the last sentence of the saint, the holy decree has not been issued, and the marriage book has not been written, which kind of marriage is this." ”
"Holy Chrysostom, how can you regret it?"
Ning Guogong didn't say a word, he wanted to carry the teapot and pour a glass of water for himself, but found that there was no tea in the teapot, so he called in the maid to renew the tea.
And try new tea with new fire.
The warm smoke quietly rose in the house, and Ning Guogong took a sip of hot tea, which had a lot of meaning.
Lu Chengxiu frowned, and his tone suddenly changed: "Guogong wants to obstruct the marriage of the two of them? ”
Ning Guogong said twice, "I can't talk about the marriage of the Xianwang Mansion, but the Shu Wangfu wants to ask." ”
Hiss......
Lu Chengxiu's heart tightened, what Ning Guogong said, he understood very well:
Gu Jiangyuan led the army back to the dynasty, and it is likely to marry the Xianwang Mansion, and the previous Dingzhou incident was only appeased, but did not take back Li Changping's military power, so Lu Guitang held an army of 150,000, and his distance from the position of the great prince can be said to be far away.
Ning Guogong said that if he wanted his help, the conditions were also very easy, and Jiang Rou, the county lord of Ningguo, took his family.
If it was in the past, it would be okay for him to marry Jiang Rou home, but ......
On that day, the scene next to the sedan chair on the long street also lingered in his mind for many days.
It is clear that he has not had much intersection with her in this life, but he was experienced by her Qingqiu, if he hadn't met her, he would be willing to marry Jiang Rou.
But once it happens, it's hard to say.
Lu Cheng corrected his senses, and Ning Guogong spoke up.
He smiled: "Your Highness doesn't want me to force it, then the daughter of Prime Minister Wei's family, you can marry yourself." After a pause, he looked at Lu Chengxiu's expression for a long time, and saw that Lu Chengxiu's expression had not changed when he heard Wei Yuchuan, so he said again: "It only depends on whether Prime Minister Wei Cheng's position as the prince of His Royal Highness can be beneficial." ”
Lu Chengxiu was stunned when he heard this, Prime Minister Wei Cheng is the chief assistant of a country, but it is a pity that the civil officials are clear, and the original government has also been taken over by Ning Guogong, what benefit can it do to marry Wei Yuchuan?
Unconsciously "bang", the tea cup in Lu Chengxiu's hand was thrown on the ground by him, and it was shattered all over the ground, but it was also covered in this gloomy day, and no one knew it.
