Chapter 176: Pulse Diagnosis
Wei Xiuyuan grabbed the reins of the horse, "Who knows if it's true or not, since the emperor ordered it, no matter what the situation is, we have to go and see." β
As he spoke, Wei Xiuyuan made a gesture and was about to ride away.
"Wait a minute!" Lu Li stopped, "You wait for me for a while, I have to do something urgent." β
Wei Xiuyuan shouted anxiously: "When is this coming, do you still have to-"
"I'll be right back!"
Lu Li turned around on his horse and rushed to the west, not knowing what to do, so he asked Wei Xiu to hike and wait for half a stick of incense.
After coming back, he raised his eyebrows, "Let's go, it's time to visit the little marquis." β
The two horses galloped out of the city in a hurry, galloping all the way east.
The royal children have their own mansions on the outskirts of the city, which is convenient for summer vacation, Chen Hu was taken back by the emperor some time ago, but because the eldest princess doted on, so he gave Chen Hu the title deed of his house, and now, this Chen Hu lives here.
When they arrived at the mansion at the bottom of the mountain, they both dismounted and tied their horses to the stump beside them.
"Xiuyuan," Lu Li grabbed Wei Xiuyuan, who stepped forward and knocked on the door, and said, "Since we are here to visit the sick, we should always take something, right?" In case Chen Hu blames him for this, and then uses this to refuse to enter Beijing tomorrow, won't the emperor blame you and me? β
In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that Chen Hu was pretending to be sick nine times out of ten, and even the emperor suspected it, otherwise they would not have asked the two to invite Chen Hu directly, because if the emperor was really worried, he should have sent a doctor a long time ago.
"What then?" Wei Xiuyuan turned around and scratched his head anxiously, "There is no one around here, do we have to run back to buy something?" β
Lu Li smiled slightly, "Of course not." β
As he spoke, he let go of Wei Xiuyuan, turned around and went to the horse's side, took the water bladder from the horse's back, and he raised the water bladder and shook it at Wei Xiuyuan, "Look, let's just take this in, but you must not show your stuffing, you have to let me talk about everything." β
"But it's a water bladder!" Wei Xiuyuan was puzzled, "Let's take this in, Chen Hu can't be more angry?" β
Everyone knows that Chen Hu loves to have fun, and often falls asleep in the early hours of the morning, and now he is afraid that he is sleeping in bed at this time. The emperor ordered the two of them to quarrel with Chen Hu at this time, which was risky enough, and now Lu Li wanted to deceive Chen Hu with a water bladder, isn't this looking for a fight?
Lu Li shook his head when he heard this, hooked his lips and said in a low voice: "The water in this water bladder has been released for more than a month, how can it be ordinary water." β
Wei Xiuyuan's eyes widened with a look of surprise.
"It's getting late, let's get in." As he spoke, Lu Li pulled Wei Xiuyuan and walked directly up the steps to knock on the door.
Although Wei Xiuyuan was shocked, he had long wanted to rectify Chen Hu, so instead of blocking Lu Li's approach, he was still looking forward to it, what would Chen Hu's reaction be when he drank this pot of water?
Because it was sent by the emperor, the subordinates guarding the door did not dare to stop it, and bowed down to welcome the two into the main hall, bowed down and said: "Master Hou is still resting, you two wait a minute, the slave will go and call Master Hou." β
This main hall was originally used by the eldest princess to discuss matters, and after giving it to Chen Hu, he was looking for joy all day long, and this main hall was also invalidated, so this main hall was clean, but few people passed by.
The two of them knew in their hearts that Chen Hu was ridiculous, and they had prepared to wait for a long time, but in the past, when they hadn't seen Chen Hu after about a stick of incense, Wei Xiuyuan couldn't sit still.
He got up and walked to the door to look around, and said anxiously: "This little marquis is really, knowing that the emperor is in a hurry, but he is still so abrasive, if he goes back late later, how can we return to the emperor?" β
As he spoke, Wei Xiuyuan shook his sleeves angrily, looking like he couldn't wait to get Chen Hu up in person.
Compared with Wei Xiuyuan's breathless appearance, Lu Li seemed much calmer, he took a sip of tea without hurry, and said leisurely: "Don't worry, no matter what we say, it was sent by the emperor, and Chen Hu will not fail to come out." β
The later he goes back, the better the emperor will know how ridiculous his nephew is.
Just thinking about it, Wei Xiuyuan hurriedly walked back, "It's coming!" β
"Lu Li, you have to calm down, don't show clues, this Chen Hu is not a master to be messed with." Wei Xiuyuan whispered uneasily.
Lu Li chuckled, "Don't worry." β
When it comes to revenge, he has always been calm.
After a moment's effort, Chen Hu came in from outside in disheveled clothes, his hair was scattered, his face was shiny, the corners of his mouth were down, and his face was full of impatience.
Wei Xiuyuan wanted to criticize the other party's attire, but as soon as Lu Li's eyes hinted, he forcibly swallowed those words back and replaced them with words of concern: "Little Marquis, I heard that you had a sudden illness, and the emperor was very worried, so he specially sent me and Lu Li to visit." β
Saying that, Lu Li got up, "Yes, the emperor and the eldest princess are very worried about you, little marquis, are you okay?" β
Chen Hu waved his hand impatiently, staggered to the front of the soft collapse, lay down with his body crooked, and said lazily: "You go back and tell the emperor, just say that the marquis is unwell and can't enter Beijing tomorrow, and I hope he will understand." β
"But everything in Beijing has already been prepared, just waiting to welcome you into Beijing tomorrow!" Wei Xiuyuan frowned and said anxiously.
"So what? You have worked hard, remove all those things, and wait for when this marquis is good and is in the mood to go back, and then I will inform you. Chen Hu drooped his eyelids carelessly, not caring about the Tao.
This marquis is a pampered man, and dozens of subordinates are often serving him, even if he is driven to Cannes, he is surrounded by dozens of domestic slaves, and he never knows the hardships of manpower.
Wei Xiuyuan was already faintly angry, but because Chen Hu was in front of him, he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only endure and said: "Master Hou, the emperor who went to Beijing and your mother, the eldest princess, are looking forward to your return to Beijing as soon as possible, and there is no good doctor in this suburb, why don't you go back to Beijing as soon as possible, let the doctor diagnose and treat it as soon as possible, and recover as soon as possible." β
"Wei Xiuyuan, why are you so nagging, like an old woman, annoying!" Chen Hu pursed his lips and wrinkled his eyebrows to complain.
"Me! Chenββ" The maintenance was angry, and he was about to step forward to argue, but he was grabbed by Lu Li, looking at the other party and hinting that he should not say any more, Wei Xiuyuan couldn't help but become more and more angry, he angrily shook off Lu Li, but he still listened to the other party's words, walked to the side, and just turned sideways to ignore Chen Hu.
Seeing Wei Xiuyuan deflated, Chen Hu laughed lazily a few times and hummed a little song proudly.
Seeing this, Lu Li coughed lightly, then took the water bladder on the side, and said in a deep voice: "The little marquis has a tiring journey, and it is inevitable that he will not be happy, but now that the emperor and the eldest princess are waiting in Beijing, does the little marquis have to wait until he is well before he is willing to go back?" β
"Do you want me to bring my illness to Beijing? Lu Li, what do you mean? Chen Hu's face changed suddenly, and he asked with a gloomy face.
Why was he kicked out of Shangjing? It's not because of Su Xiaoman's! Dare to deceive the emperor and frame the Hou Ye! Chen Hu has been angry in his heart for more than half a year, and he is about to find Su Xiaoman to vent.
Su Xiaoman and Lu Li are husband and wife, and Chen Hu naturally wants to spread his anger on Lu Li, who took the initiative to send it to the door.
Lu Li had long expected this result, so he didn't panic, he smiled slightly, and said: "Hou Ye is a daughter, so naturally it is important to cure diseases, so I specially brought Hou Ye holy water to cure all diseases." β
The water bladder hidden behind him was taken out, and then handed to Chen Hu by his subordinates.
Chen Hu waved his hand with a little disgust, ordered his subordinates to put it aside, and said unhappily: "Isn't this a water bladder?" What are you bringing this for? Lu Li, you don't want to use this to murder this marquis, right? β
Such a broken water bladder, who knows what is inside, in case it is poison or laxative, isn't that ......
"Where do ministers dare to murder the Hou Ye." Lu Li's face did not change, and he was serious: "This is the holy water that the minister specially went to the temple to ask for, this holy water can cure all diseases, and it is said that it can also prolong life and aphrodisiac, if the Hou Ye can't believe it, the minister can try it for the Hou Ye first." β
As soon as he heard that he could aphrodisiac, Chen Hu's eyes straightened, and he didn't seem to be lying when he was serious, he lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and then waved his hand: "No need, this marquis believes you!" β
Anyway, this Lu Li is also living in Shangjing now, and he is a court official, deeply favored by the emperor, and when he heard that he has just added a son, he should be the most proud, and he should not be willing to give up this great future and harm himself.
Thinking of this, Chen Hu became more and more relieved, he waved his hand to summon his subordinates, "Take the water bladder, this marquis will try it himself." β
"Yes."
Seeing Chen Hu raise his head and pour all the water in the water bladder into his throat, Wei Xiuyuan on the side was stunned, he couldn't believe it, and then looked at Lu Li, his eyes were full of puzzlement and surprise.
This... Just drank it like that?
Just when Wei Xiuyuan was surprised, someone from outside the door suddenly came to report: "Master Hou, someone outside the door asked to see him, saying that he was the imperial doctor in the palace, and he got the emperor's order and came to check the pulse of Lord Hou." β
Chen Hudeng, who was wiping his mouth, sat up straight, and stammered in panic: "No... No, Ben Hou didn't, no... Inconvenience! Let him go back! β
As soon as the words fell, the imperial doctor had already come in, only to see him put down the medicine box and bow down: "Zhang Shan of the Imperial Hospital, please see Master Hou." β
"Who let you in?! Get out of here! Chen Hu yelled.
Lu Li, who had been silent for a long time, slowly reminded: "Master Hou, this Imperial Doctor Zhang was sent by the emperor to diagnose your pulse, if you drive it away easily, I'm afraid the emperor will ......."
Chen Hudeng, who was making a lot of noise, quieted down at the moment, and the whole person completely wilted.
The emperor finally agreed to let him go back to Beijing, but now he has not entered Beijing, if the emperor knows that he is pretending to be sick and deceiving him at this time, then can he go back to Beijing?
When Chen Hu was in a dilemma, Lu Li said again: "Imperial Doctor Zhang, please check the pulse of Hou Ye as soon as possible." β
