Chapter 141: Saving People
"Well, okay, Mama Li, go and send off the third princess."
"Yes."
At this moment, at the door of the Buddha Hall, only Chu Nian and the Queen Mother were left, the Queen Mother turned her back to Chu Nian, looked at the clouds gradually pressing down on the sky, and only after a long time did she speak: "You and Ming Xiu, what are you talking about?" ”
Chu Nian looked at the Queen Mother's seemingly melancholy back and replied with a light smile: "If there was really something, the Queen Mother should have known about it a long time ago, wouldn't it?" ”
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, slowly moved her steps, Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly, took a few steps forward, and held the Queen Mother's arm.
The Queen Mother glanced at Chu Nian sideways, sighed, and said, "Regarding Chen Guifei, the mourning family is also a last resort, who wants to kill their own emperor and grandson with their own hands?" But now in this world, the Ming royal family is weak, this imperial power is at your fingertips, and all the officials want to come and get a piece of the pie, and those pregnant concubines are the daughters sent in by the courtiers with selfish intentions, how can the mourning family watch the imperial power disperse to the hundred families? ”
Then you simply concentrate all the imperial power in your own hands? Reluctantly, aren't all those imperial heirs dead?
Chu Nian narrowed his eyes slightly: "The Queen Mother is right." However, according to the views of the courtiers, after so many years, Chen Guifei has not had a good time in the court, and as far as the Queen Mother is concerned, he is also half a hero, isn't he? ”
The Queen Mother didn't answer Chu Nian's words, she let Chu Nian help her and walked a long way towards the dormitory, and then said slowly: "You are a good person, you have to speak for others wherever you go?" ”
Chu Nian half-lowered his eyes, "This is also to share the worries of the Queen Mother." ”
The Queen Mother looked at her with inquiring eyes, "When did the Wushuang County Lord become so nosy?" ”
Now, the prince Mingxiu's hole card has not yet shown half a point, and the queen mother has Zhu Qing on her side, and the queen mother does not dare to blatantly turn her face, but this person is in her hands, whether to put or stay, whether to live or die, or the queen mother has the final say.
The initiative is in her own hands, and the Queen Mother has put up a shelf, Chu Nian does not take the initiative to mention the release of people, and the Queen Mother does not say anything, it is all based on the meaning of the words.
When Chu Nian heard the Queen Mother's words, he understood in his heart that the Queen Mother wanted to be tempted, after all, what could make Ming Xiudu fight for with such fanfare was not necessarily a simple thing, maybe it was a very useful thing for the entire Da Liang.
The road to power needs to be cautious step by step, and the Queen Mother is the same, it was careless that Chu Nian was asked to send in a bamboo green to take advantage of a loophole, and now she can't be given a chance to exploit the loophole.
"This is a matter related to the Queen Mother, and it is a big matter about the Queen Mother, and you must not be sloppy."
Chu Nian raised his head, and a meaningful smile rose at the corner of his mouth.
The Queen Mother paused slightly, and after a while, she looked sideways with anger and said, "Are you threatening the mourning family?" ”
Seeing that the Queen Mother was still stubborn, Chu Nian had no choice but to show all the hole cards, and the Queen Mother must understand that today, she might as well not do it.
"Don't dare to threaten, it's just that this matter is really important, after all, the other party is the person who is the heir of the Medicine King Gu."
Sure enough, hearing this, a trace of panic flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, the Queen Mother didn't know that the little beggar picked up on the street could have such a big background, I heard that Chu Nian specially went to the court to see this person, and she had doubted the identity of this person, but now it seems that everything can be figured out.
The medicine king Gu Yan is indeed worth wooing, but she is suspicious of doing something bad.
But now that the matter has been done, you can't even get back face, right? Besides, the Medicine King Valley is gone, even if she arrests the only remaining heir, who can help her?
Even if you kill someone, no one will come to seek revenge.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother's confidence hardened a little.
"What about the Medicine King Valley? Wasn't it long since it was destroyed? What is left in the Medicine King Valley now? ”
The Queen Mother's voice fell, but she saw Chu Nianwan smile and said: "Indeed, but it is said that it was because of the disappearance of the Medicine King of the Medicine King Valley that the Medicine King Valley tree fell and scattered, but it does not mean that the Medicine King is not alive." ”
Chu Nian looked sideways at the Queen Mother who seemed to be a little panicked, "The Queen Mother, Concubine Chen, but the only descendant of the Medicine King, and now the second survivor of the Medicine King Valley." ”
The second survivor, that is, the king of medicine, is still alive? And Chu Nian is so sure, has she seen the Medicine King? Or...... The Medicine King is in her hands!
At this time, the Queen Mother's face was completely pale, and the Medicine King directly destroyed an entire dynasty because an empire offended his subordinates!
If the Medicine King knew that she had captured his only heir and sent him to the palace, and sent him to a water prison, he would now be tortured in every way......
The words should be stopped, Chu Nian smiled slightly: "Niangniang, now everyone in the palace knows that the Queen Mother summoned Chen Guifei into the palace the day before yesterday, and they have never seen Chen Guifei come out, if the Medicine King knows about this, I am afraid that things will be in trouble." ”
The Queen Mother's face became more and more ugly, but now even if she knew that Chu Nian was threatening herself, what could she do? At most, she lost her temper afterwards, Chu Nian's words came to this point, the Queen Mother didn't understand anymore, she had been in this deep palace for so long in vain!
Seeing that the queen was pale, Chu Nian smiled softly: "The queen mother, there are still distinguished guests at home who need to be entertained, and the courtiers retreat first." ”
After that, she ignored whether the Queen Mother allowed it, leaned over her legs, and after a while, disappeared from the Queen Mother's sight.
At this moment, the prayer beads under the Queen Mother's hands were almost crushed, what did she mean by this? A guest at home? The Medicine King was invited to the Chu family?
The Queen Mother took a deep breath, Chu Nian, Chu Nian, you really played a good hand!
……
By the time Li Le was stuffed into a sedan chair and sent to Chu's house, it was already dusk, and Chu Nian opened the sedan curtain to see the pale beauty on top of the bloated clothes that were wrapped, and couldn't help frowning.
"Mei Xiang, go and call Grandma."
A group of people hurriedly carried the people on the sedan chair into the house, and Mother Zhu said with a complicated face: "Lady, do you want to invite Lord Yaowang over?" ”
Chu Nian glanced sideways at the person lying on the couch with his eyes closed, "Not for the time being." ”
After a while, the aunt came in a hurry, and heard that the person who was going to be diagnosed and treated on this trip was a big person, and the aunt looked excited, until she saw the male and female people lying on the couch, she said sluggishly: "Lady, this is the ...... Medicine Immortals? ”
Chu Nian nodded slowly, "Go and take off the clothes on his body." ”
Mei Xiang responded, and then stepped forward and carefully stripped off Li Le's clothes.
There is actually only one layer of clothing on Li Le's body, and the rest is gauze that is not tightly wrapped, layer upon layer, and it actually covers the whole body.
Ah Wu frowned and peeled off the gauze on Li Le's body layer by layer, until the bruises on Li Le's body were revealed, and everyone gasped.
I saw that Li Le's body was blue and purple, and the whiplash wounds were innumerable, the bones of his hands were almost broken, and there was a wooden board pinned to his waist, obviously his waist bone was also broken.
Auntie was full of solemnity: "It's not a fatal injury, but even if it is cured, I am afraid that the rest of my life can only be spent on the couch." ”
Hearing this, Chu Nian's eyes seemed to flash the appearance of Li Le lying lazily on the couch when they met for the first time, and now the beautiful and peerless person is lying on the bed weakly at the moment, life and death are unknown, if the medicine king knows, I am afraid that it will be a touch of sadness.
Mei Xiang said indignantly: "No wonder the Queen Mother wants to wrap him in so many layers of gauze, but seeing that there are too many wounds on this person's body, he covers his ears and steals the bell!" ”
Chu Nian glanced at Mei Xiang, Mei Xiang immediately covered her small mouth, blinked, looked out the window, and didn't dare to make any more noise.
There was silence all around, and everyone was afraid that the noise would attract the old man of the Medicine King, and if the old man saw his own disciple fall into such a situation, he was afraid that he would be even more sad.
Chu Nian glanced at Ah Wu: "No matter what, save him first." ”
Auntie's face was gloomy: "Yes, lady." ”
Seeing that Ah Wu started to move, Chu Nian glanced at the people around him, and the group was mighty, so he left the wing room, and only Ah Wu was left in the wing room, the mute girl who came to help, and the unconscious Li Le.
As soon as he came out of the wing, Chu Nian bumped into the excited Chu Yuanlang head-on, Chu Yuanlang was well-dressed at the moment, obviously just returned from the palace.
"Third sister! Third sister! It seemed that he didn't notice the gloomy and bleak atmosphere around him, Chu Yuanlang hugged Chu Nian with a full embrace, "The rain is flooding in Nanhuai Township, and the imperial court sent me to control the water!" Third sister, it was King Huainan who recommended me to go! ”
Finally breaking free from his brother's embrace, Chu Nian breathed a long sigh of relief: "This is indeed an opportunity, you have to take advantage of it." ”
In the eyes of King Huainan, the prince is still in the hands of Chu Nian, even if it is not for the sake of the prince, but also for the sake of his reputation, Huainan Wangfu is such an inheritor, if it is gone, the king of Huainan is so old, he may not be able to give birth to a healthy son.
And now when he is seizing power, the heir is also an advantage, and the dignified appearance of the prince of Huainan has attracted the favor of many courtiers, and now, the king of Huainan does not want to give up this advantage for the time being.
However, King Huainan was able to win the opportunity for Chu Yuanlang so easily, and I think that one of them was the handiwork of the emperor who had only now regained some real power.
Seeing that his sister seemed to be depressed, Chu Yuanlang also withdrew the joy in his eyes, and looked at Chu Nian cautiously: "Third sister, what's wrong with you?" ”
Chu Nian reluctantly raised a smile, "It's okay, how many days will you go?" ”
"Said it was the day after tomorrow, and the emperor said to give me one more day to prepare."
"yes, okay." Chu Nian nodded, and stroked the top of Chu Yuanlang's head with his bare hand, "My brother has grown up, and there are some things that you should be aware of." ”
Seeing Chu Nian's serious expression, Chu Yuanlang's face also became serious, and he nodded and said, "Follow my sister's teachings." ”
Chu Nian smiled: "Those who want to achieve great things, victory is not arrogant, defeat is not destroyed, you should know this truth, right?" ”
Chu Yuanlang nodded seriously, "You must not be complacent because of a little petty profit, and you must not completely lose confidence because of a little setback." ”
When the words fell, Chu Yuanlang raised his head, and then looked at Chu Nian with a pair of indulgent eyes, and a trace of emotion flashed in his heart, he also knew what his sister was worried about, this trip would not be too easy, and it was likely that there would be no return.
Floods in Nanhuai Township occur every year, and this year, for some reason, the floods are extremely surging, and there have been countless deaths and injuries.
The imperial court is at a critical moment of infighting, and the flood has already been reported, but it has been pressed by the officials below, for fear that presenting a recital at this time will touch the moldy heads of those people above, and it will not be reported until it is really unbearable, and it is too late.
Now that the flood in Nanhuai Township has reached the point of no return, everyone knows that the trip of the young marquis of Zhenning Hou is a thankless errand.
But there is always a solution to the matter, since the emperor is willing to give Zhen Ninghou this opportunity, there must be Ming Xiu to make suggestions later.
Since it is Ming Xiu's decision, he naturally has his thoughts, as long as Chu Yuanlang can solve this matter, presumably the reward given by the court will be indispensable, everything depends on Chu Yuanlang's ability.
Chu Nian glanced at Chu Yuanlang heavily, and then pretended to be relaxed and said: "Go and pack your things, behave well on this trip, my sister is waiting for you to take the reward and return triumphantly." ”
Chu Yuanlang also raised a smile, nodded heavily, and said, "Hmm! ”
At this time, an old figure not far away slowly came, his body trembled, as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant, and his original pale gray hair was now only as white as snow, "County Lord, County Lord, where is my disciple?" ”
