Chapter 356: The Left Door
Change of heart...... Heart-to-heart, it's simply impossible. To put it bluntly, this is simply gibberish, a fool's dream!
Meng Xilan looked at the familiar face in front of her in a daze, she couldn't believe that Jiao Changqing, who had always been strict and self-disciplined, would say such a ridiculous thing.
"Master...... Are you serious? ”
The art of changing hearts, it is just a side-by-side way, weird and evil.
Jiao Changqing lowered his eyes expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "Niangniang, Weichen is incompetent, and Weichen can't cure his father's illness." At the moment, this is the only way, and Wechen can only give it a bold try! ”
"Master, this palace knows that you are eager to save your father, but ......" Meng Xilan subconsciously shook her head again. This method is not a method, this is clearly an evil trick. ”
She thought for a while, slowly got up and said: "A while ago, the Nanyue Kingdom sent a piece of thousand-year-old blood jade, I heard that it has a miraculous effect, and the palace can ask the emperor to give the blood jade to the master." Perhaps, that blood jade can suspend the condition of Old Lady Jiao. ”
Meng Xilan really wanted to help him.
Jiao Changqing still shook his head: "Niangniang, Wechen has been practicing medicine for ten years, and Wechen knows very well that it is difficult for my father to survive this hurdle." Wechen has no intention of coveting those rare things, Wechen wants a few death row prisoners, a few dying people. ”
He hadn't tried it himself, he didn't want to sacrifice innocent people, only those death row inmates who were convicted and waiting for death were his best choice.
"It's just a few death row inmates. What did Weichen never ask for from his mother? Wechen begs you. ”
Jiao Changqing raised his head and looked directly into Meng Xilan's eyes, his eyes full of pleading. "Wechen can't watch his father die...... Wechen can't! ”
It was the first time Meng Xilan had seen him like this, and her heart felt as if she had been stung by something, and she clearly felt pain.
Meng Xilan looked at him quietly, with a lot of thoughts in her heart, thinking and thinking, she had to nod helplessly: "I know, the palace will send someone to arrange it." Please, master, don't be impatient. ”
Jiao Changqing's heavy face was slightly relieved when he heard this, and he kowtowed respectfully to thank him: "Thank you Niangniang, Niangniang's kindness, Weichen will not forget it." ”
Meng Xilan sighed softly: "Master, what this palace owes you will be difficult to pay off in this life." ”
There are so many death row inmates in the prison of the Criminal Department, and they all have to wait until the autumn to behead.
"Niangniang, you never owe anything to Weichen. Even if there were, it would be clear now. After some time, Wechen will resign, leave the Tai Hospital, and also leave the capital. ”
Jiao Changqing obviously had made a plan. He knew exactly what he was going to do. That's a stupid thing that Heaven doesn't tolerate, and neither does the law!
Once you do it, you will never recover.
He didn't want to use these blood-stained hands to touch Meng Xilan's body again. He doesn't deserve it......
Meng Xilan was shocked when she heard this, "Master, are you going to leave the palace?" Leaving the Prince? ”
If she didn't have him, how would her heart be at peace?
Jiao Changqing ignored etiquette and turned around to leave, but when he was about to go out, he looked back at Meng Xilan and said: "The hospital is full of talents, and without Weichen, there are still good talents in Niangniang's hands." Weichen's student, Shao Jiaren is a good candidate. ”
"Master!" Meng Xilan called out to him, but did not send anyone to stop him.
His back looks so decadent that it's distressing.
The bitterness in his heart, Meng Xilan didn't understand.
He saved countless people in half his life, but in the end, he couldn't heal the people he loved the most. It felt like a person walking on the road in a good manner, but suddenly stepped on the air, and the whole person fell weightlessly, falling into the endless abyss.
She also watched her loved ones die and was unable to do anything about it. That feeling is like a thousand arrows piercing the heart, and it is even worse than death.
Jiao Changqing walked out of Cining Palace step by step, his movements stiff. He hadn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights, and his body and limbs were a little disobedient.
After leaving the palace gate, he turned his head and looked at the brick and tile buildings in the palace with his bloodshot eyes.
Before entering the palace today, Jiao Changqing knew that there was no turning back.
What he wants to do is not tolerated. In the whole world, only Meng Xilan will promise him.
Meng Xilan remembered his merits in her heart and regarded him as a benefactor.
However, in Jiao Changqing's heart, he only has affection for her, not kindness.
She never coerced him into doing things he didn't want to do. When she first entered the court, she was as immature as a flower, and she offended people who shouldn't be offended because she wanted to protect the thoughtfulness of a palace person. He still remembered the appearance of him when he first saw her, a little woman who seemed to be calm and light, but she hid a calmness and calmness that others could not understand. She's not afraid of anything......
Zhu Lu looked at the place where Jiao Changqing was kneeling, and couldn't slow down for a long time.
When she cleared her mind, tears flowed unconsciously.
She looked at Meng Xilan, she had no idea in her heart, and muttered, "Niangniang, did you say that Master Jiao ...... Will he succeed? ”
Meng Xilan's expression was heavy and she didn't answer.
How could he possibly succeed? Heart-to-heart, that's not medicine, that's witchcraft!
Who in this world can have the ability to open a living person's chest and belly, and only tear out the heart and live.
Meng Xilan shook her head secretly.
This thing will definitely not work, and it will make him get into trouble.
"...... What should we do? ”
Meng Xilan supported her head with one hand and stroked her eyebrows, only to feel a headache.
She needed time to think about it, to think about it.
……
Just after the second watch, Gao Fuli bowed down and went to the dormitory to take a look, and saw that the emperor had slept in his clothes, and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
He walked lightly to the outer hall, beckoned Xiaoluzi to come over, and ordered: "The emperor has rested, you will serve me carefully." I have something to do to go out of the palace, and I will definitely come back before the morning court tomorrow. ”
That little path was promoted by him all the way, and he was also his right-hand man.
"Yes, father-in-law. But you're so late, what are you doing when you leave the palace? ”
"Mouthy!" Gao Fuli glared at him with a displeased expression.
He has the waist card given by the emperor in his hand, and he can go out of the palace to do errands at any time.
Because of the bamboo dew, he held an evil fire in his heart, and there was nowhere to sprinkle.
He thought about the woman he had liked for so many years, and he didn't say anything about him, and he was thinking about others.
Although he is a eunuch, he is also a man, and he really can't bear such humiliation.
Gao Fuli returned to his house in the capital and called the person in charge of the family to his side.
"You think of a way for the miscellaneous family, and the miscellaneous family wants to get married!"
Gao Fuli drank the tea in the tea bowl in one go, and then commanded viciously.
Zhulu is not rare to him, and he is not rare. He is a big internal manager, and he serves people in the palace, but when he arrives outside the palace, there are so many people who want to talk to him that he can't count them.
"Huh?" The steward was stunned when he heard this, and reacted for a long time, with a puzzled face: "Master, you are ......" He didn't dare to mention the word "eunuch", and only said: "How can a person who is an errand in the palace easily marry a wife?" ”
Gao Fuli looked at him coldly: "What? If the miscellaneous family is a eunuch, can't a eunuch marry a wife? ”
"Master, that's not what the little one meant...... It's just that such a thing has never been heard of by the little one before. ”
When Gao Fuli heard this, the tea bowl that he had only drunk fell in front of him, "Why is it so hard for you to do something?" If a person like you had entered the palace, he would have died eight times ago. ”
The tube was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Master, don't be angry. The small one to help you figure it out is ......"
His mind spun quickly, and he smiled cautiously: "Master, we still don't do a good job of getting married for such a troublesome thing." You are a celebrity around the emperor...... As the saying goes, there are many people who are popular. It's better to be careful. What does the lord want now, you want a woman, no matter how much, the small one can be found for you. ”
This house is so big, it is not a problem to raise many women. But it depends on the master's words.
When Gao Fuli heard this, the anger on his face did not decrease: "You are trying to fool the miscellaneous family!" ”
"Master, the little one doesn't dare to fool you. The little ones are all for the sake of the lord. Sir, think about it, if things get big and someone makes a fuss, it will be very disadvantageous to you, sir. ”
The eunuch marries a wife, this is too immoral, if it is really made, wouldn't it be necessary for everyone to poke the backbone of the master?
"Sir, don't worry. Ming'er is young, so I will invite a tooth woman to come over and give you a good look. ”
The steward has been in the capital for many years, and knows that this is a place where money can make ghosts grind.
Gao Fuli listened to his words, and his heart was not completely deflated.
Where does he want a woman? It's just to vent a bad breath.
……
Because of Jiao Changqing's incident, Meng Xilan almost didn't sleep all night. After thinking about it, I still have no solution.
She knew that Jiao Changqing was waiting eagerly, and when she was helpless, she had no choice but to send someone to invite her brother Meng Xizhao to discuss together.
She didn't tell Zhou Youchen, not because she wanted to hide it, but because she was afraid that he would be displeased.
Meng Xi got the news and immediately entered the palace to meet Niangniang.
Because he was a member of the family, Meng Xilan didn't care about him, but just asked truthfully: "Brother, I want your help if there is something in this palace." ”
Meng Xizhao was slightly surprised when she heard this: "Niangniang, you don't have to meet Weichen like this, we are all a family, as long as you say a word, Weichen can do anything." ”
Meng Xilan sighed as if she was sighing: "This palace needs a few death row prisoners...... Death row inmates who have not yet been executed. ”
"What?" Meng Xizhao was shocked again, and looked at her puzzled: "Niangniang, what do you mean?" ”
"Don't ask Bengu why, the reason for this is so ridiculous that even Bengu can't say it. Brother, you have always been delicate, help Bengong think of a way. ”
The anxiety on Meng Xilan's face could not be hidden.
Meng Xizhao obviously realized the importance of the matter, furrowed his brows, and thought for a long time before saying: "Niangniang, the prisoners of the Criminal Department are all recorded in the file one by one, and if you want to take them out of the prison, unless the emperor issues a certificate of innocence and gives them back their freedom, otherwise, they can't take half a step out of there." Empress...... You've been to that place before, and those prisoners who set foot in that place are certain to die. Only by waiting until the day of the execution and beheading, can you come out. ”
When Meng Xilan saw her brother say this, she knew that there was no way to hide this matter from Zhou Youchen.
"The palace knows, it seems that the emperor still needs to nod."
Meng Xizhao looked up at her and said with a concerned expression: "Niangniang, what happened?" ”
Well, she wouldn't suddenly ask about the prison in the Criminal Department.
Also, if she is really in trouble, she can go directly to discuss with the emperor.
Meng Xilan was silent for a moment before saying, "This palace promised Lord Jiao one thing, and this palace must do it." ”
Meng Xizhao's face changed slightly: "Imperial Doctor Jiao? The minister heard that Imperial Physician Jiao's father has been seriously ill recently and is very critical, is it ......?"
Meng Xilan didn't wait for him to finish, then nodded and said, "Lord Jiao needs someone to test the medicine for his father, and this palace doesn't want to hurt the innocent, so I think it's most appropriate to use those death row prisoners." ”
I see. Meng Xizhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and only said: "The matter of testing the medicine is indeed dangerous. However, why didn't Niangniang go to ask the emperor? ”
Meng Xilan's eyes condensed slightly: "This palace doesn't want to disturb the emperor, the government is busy with political affairs, and this palace shouldn't bother him with these trivial things." ”
"Niangniang, this matter is small and small, and big is big. The Criminal Department has always been strict and cautious, and those who have been convicted are prisoners, but they are also bound by the law. If Niangniang doesn't tell the emperor and takes people from the criminal department without authorization, it will only attract criticism. ”
Meng Xizhao was very clear about her sister's character, and hurriedly clarified the pros and cons.
Meng Xilan nodded, signaling him to rest assured: "This palace knows, this palace will talk to the emperor." ”
Using a living person to dissect and save people, Meng Xilan really couldn't say such a thing.
Therefore, while waiting for the evening, she told Zhou Youchen about Master Jiao's request, which was just a reason, not a change of heart, but a test of medicine.
It's not a high-sounding reason, but it can be said.
Zhou Youchen listened and was a little surprised.
"I didn't expect that our benevolent Jiao Changqing would actually do such a thing?"
Such cruel methods are not his style.
Meng Xilan didn't want him to be suspicious, so she only said: "As the saying goes, caring is chaos." If the master was not anxious about his father's condition, he would not have made such a decision. ”
"Your Majesty......" Meng Xilan softened her tone, pulled his arm, and begged: "The master has a life-saving grace for the concubine, and the concubine must help him." ”
Zhou Youchen groaned slightly when he heard this, covered the back of her hand with his own hand, and gently rubbed it: "Jiao Changqing not only saved your life, he also saved my life and kept the prince born safely." There's no reason why I shouldn't agree to him......"
He dragged his tone slightly, and Meng Xilan said a little anxiously: "Your Majesty, is this a nod of approval?" ”
Zhou Youchen grabbed her hand, held it in front of his chest and said, "Well, seeing that you are in such a hurry, I can't do it if I'm not allowed." However, I thought something was strange...... Why is Jiao Changqing willing to come to beg you, but he refuses to beg me? ”
Is there something hidden in this?
Meng Xilan was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then lowered her eyes and said: "With such a strategy, how can he have the face to ask the emperor?" He just wanted to borrow the modest strength of his concubines to get the emperor to agree. ”
