Chapter 59 Who is the princess who has not passed through the door, come out and confess
Dong Xianpei panicked and let go of Dong Qianmo at once. She stood with her back to the door, not knowing how long they had been here and how much they had heard.
But the old lady was facing the door, knowing that those people had just arrived, and maybe they hadn't even heard the last sentence, right? should not have listened to the biggest "secret" of their Dong Mansion at present.
If you want to blame it, blame Master Dong, why did someone come to the palace, and I didn't know to report it in advance?
Dong Taishi also felt helpless, those people from the palace said that they came, and somehow, it was not the matchmaker who came, but five men dressed as scribes in gray robes.
The attitude of the five people was not very polite, and they were a little anxious, and they wanted to see Dong Qianmo by name!
In front of the guard Li Zhouyu, Mrs. Dong didn't ask much, and led those people to the study, just because the old lady and her party were there, saving the trouble of going to the backyard to invite a second person.
What Taishi Dong didn't expect was that Li Zhouyu, a literati who had read the books of sages and sages, was benevolent, righteous, courteous, wise and faithful, and was the third product of the dynasty, and the Son of Heaven walked forward with a transcendent status, so he followed him so cheekily.
Originally, he had already been sent outside the gate of the Dong Mansion, and the two sides also said goodbye to each other, and at this time, the people from the palace came to take a look at Dong Taishi at the gate.
Saving the trouble of handing over the post, those people came up to inform the family and asked to see the fourth lady, Dong Qianmo.
Li Zhouyu saw that the people who came from Yuzhang Wangfu had a different expression, and there were some meanings that those who came were not good and those who were good did not come, how could he not be curious, so he followed them and walked back to the study.
Dong Taishi, who led the way in front, turned around and looked stunned, Li Zhouyu smiled back with a warm smile, and still followed suit! Mrs. Dong couldn't say anything about him, so he could only take these people straight into the study.
What Dong Taishi didn't expect was that he had less than half a cup of tea in and out, and the study had already changed.
When leaving, the two daughters were slim and slim, standing behind the elders, and hired Ting Xiuya. When she came back, the third daughter's willow eyebrows were upside down, and she was holding the fourth daughter, looking like she was raising her hand to fight!
Fortunately, the old lady was not surprised, and said calmly: "Their sisters have a harmonious relationship, and it is not a joke one day, why did the master scold him loudly, and he did not frighten the child." ”
Mrs. Dong said to the guests: "The little girl is stubborn, which makes you laugh." ”
He invited Li Zhouyu and the people from the palace to sit down, and instructed his subordinates to watch the tea, Li Zhouyu sat back again, but no one from the palace sat down.
Facing the master's house, these people stood in a row, and one after another the figures blocked the dazzling sunlight outside the door. The most disturbing thing is that they are all cold and expressionless, which is not the signature expression of the matchmaker you usually see.
Could it be that these people are not here to find fault with the daughter of the Dong Mansion?
Mrs. Dong and the old lady exchanged glances, and Mrs. Dong asked, "Are you a few people from the prince's side?" ”
One of them said: "We are the stewards of the palace, responsible for the daily life of the prince. ”
Daily life? Sure enough, I didn't come to discuss relatives.
Mrs. Dong asked again: "Is it good for the prince to come in?" Asai rarely meets him, and the last time he saw him was half a year ago. ”
The man said, "Our son is sick, and now he is in a coma with a high fever. ”
Mrs. Dong was taken aback: "Sick?!" Then why don't you invite a few more doctors to go and see the prince! ”
These people are so weird, the son of the world is sick, and he doesn't go to the Taishi Hospital but comes to the Taishi's Mansion?
The man said coldly: "Our son has always been physically strong, and there have been few minor illnesses in the past few years, he said a word before he fell into a coma, does the master want to know what the prince said?" ”
Mrs. Dong said: "I would like to hear it in detail." ”
"The prince said, 'Get this woman, or I'll never wake up.'" And what the prince is holding in his hand is Miss Dong's Geng post, on which is written the birthday of the fourth lady Dong Qianmo. ”
After the man finished speaking, his eyes fell on Dong Xianpei and Dong Qianmo's faces, back and forth two or three times, secretly comparing, as if they were guessing which was the Dong Qianmo they were looking for.
The old lady and Mrs. Dong were confused, what was going on?
The son of the world saw the birthday of the four girls, and then suddenly fell into a coma and fell unconscious? What these people mean is that the eight characters of the four girls are not good, and they are compatible with the son? So the son of the world fell ill?
That should also be to send Tian Matchmaker, return the Geng post, and give up the family business. Why did he send a few stewards to come to the door to ask the teacher for sin?
What do people say? Is it also a sin for men and women to be incompatible?
"Since the son of the world has suddenly contracted a serious illness, the current priority should be to cure his illness first, and then talk about other things." Master Dong said, "I know a few famous doctors with good hands, who have always been cured of the disease, so it is better to invite them to the palace to see if they are infected with the epidemic or the previous dark disease." ”
The people in the palace said coldly: "My family has no secret disease, before he fell into a coma, he has not gone out for half a month, he deals with business in the study during the day, and rests in the study at night, it is impossible to be infected with the epidemic." ”
When Li Zhouyu on the side heard this, he couldn't help asking: "Could it be that the case is hard work, and the son of the world is tired and sick?" ”
The people in the palace knew Li Zhouyu's identity, and their expressions were polite, but they still insisted: "Our prince has never been tired and sick, and more than a dozen imperial doctors and famous folk doctors have seen him, but they can't tell what kind of illness he is, and they can't prescribe the right medicine." Now the son has not woken up for a day and a night, his forehead is hot, and the doctor has tried all kinds of methods but cannot reduce the fever. ”
Li Zhouyu thought about it and guessed a possibility: "Could it be poisoned?" If he hadn't been out for half a month, could it be that an assassin had infiltrated the palace and poisoned the prince's drinking water? ”
The people in the palace still denied it: "It's impossible, every drink and food of the prince will be carefully checked by us, and it will be served to the prince after it is verified that it is non-toxic." And none of the doctors said that Shizi's symptoms were similar to poisoning. ”
Li Zhouyu couldn't help frowning, feeling that this matter was serious, and he wanted to enter the palace immediately.
The coma of the son of the world is not a simple family matter, if this situation continues, its severity is probably only less than the coma of the son of heaven!
If the Son of Heaven is unconscious, it will affect the handling of the court, shake the court, and then there may be turmoil in the world.
After the prince of Yuzhang Wangfu fell into a coma, many documents that needed to be personally seen and printed by him every ten days would be shelved, not only the money, pawnshop, and dart bureau under his name would be affected, causing immeasurable losses, but even the related river transportation and land transportation may be stagnant, and the imperial court's transportation of silver, grain and salt all pointed to the river transportation, which could not be stopped for a day.
Moreover, the prince took over the mining and minting of copper coins for the imperial court, and Yuncheng, forty miles away, has just produced a batch of finished copper coins, which are anxious to be escorted into Beijing after the acceptance of the prince. If this matter is delayed for one more day, it will cause all kinds of variables, and it is not impossible to cause trouble!
The prince must not have an accident, because he is the God of Wealth of the Western Wei Dynasty, and he controls half of the financial lifeline of the Western Wei Dynasty!
Li Zhouyu immediately got up and said goodbye: "Li has something to do, so I will leave first." ”
Taishi Dong's eyelids jumped, knowing that Li Zhouyu was going to enter the palace to face the saint and go to the emperor.
These people in the palace are full of words, saying that the coma of the prince is related to the Taishi Mansion, I am afraid that as soon as Li Zhouyu enters the palace with the front foot, the holy decree on the back foot will pass the Dong Taishi to interrogate. But the cause of the prince is unknown, and Taishi Dong's heart is also a fog, so what can he do to return to the saint?
Master Dong was a little anxious, stepped forward to block Li Zhouyu's way, and said in a low voice: "Please stay for a while, let me ask them in detail, the prince suddenly fell into a coma, there must be something strange in it." ”
Li Zhouyu squinted his eyes and asked in a low voice: "The strangeness of it, presumably the Taishi has already counted?" ”
Master Dong hurriedly said: "I learned about it with Master Li, not earlier than you, and now I am also confused. ”
Li Zhouyu is upright: "In this case, it is someone with bad intentions to assassinate the world, and I can't sit idly by, I must let the saint know about this matter as soon as possible and make arrangements as soon as possible." ”
After saying that, he took a detour, and Mrs. Dong couldn't keep him, so he was very anxious.
didn't take a step, but another slender figure blocked the way, preventing Li Zhouyu from passing. Li Zhouyu wanted to go around again, but when he looked closely, it was not someone else who was in the way, but Dong Qianmo, who was currently making him very curious.
Li Zhouyu stood still and looked at Dong Qianmo up close.
Dressed in a light blue silk double-glazed cloud goose gauze skirt, a piece of clear water jade pendant tied around the waist, and a peony pattern silk yarn fan in his hand. But seeing that her skin is brighter than snow, her eyebrows are like a natural scroll of clear air, her eyes are like crystal clear spring water, with a little smile but not a smile.
Being looked at with such eyes, Li Zhouyu couldn't lose his temper and said, "Third Miss, please get out of the way, it's not your business." ”
Dong Qianmo smiled lightly, revealing a row of white teeth like fine jade, only to hear her say softly: "If I were Lord Li, I wouldn't have left so quickly, at least I would have listened to the second half." ”
"Oh?" Li Zhouyu raised his eyebrows, "Third Miss thinks I'm leaving early?" But I still think it's too late, Miss Three, please give way. ”
Dong Taishi was worried that Dong Qianmo didn't know the severity and offended Li Zhouyu, so he said in a deep voice: "Xianpei, get out of the way quickly!" Master Li is anxious, don't be ignorant. ”
Dong Qianmo turned his back to Master Dong and ignored him, but said to Li Zhouyu: "Actually, it's too late, the prince has been in a coma for a day and a night, and Lord Li only let the saint know at this moment, doesn't it make the Sacred Heart more troublesome?" ”
"But if you deceive the Holy Hearing, things will not get better." Li Zhouyu said.
"It's not good, how do you know what is going on if you don't listen to it?" Dong Qianmo persuaded softly, "If I were a saint, I would definitely prefer people who solve the incident before they write and only report the result than those who report the incident before they go to the book." ”
Master Dong was in a hurry, this daughter was too presumptuous, what was her identity, how could she talk to the secret agent of the Son of Heaven in such a tone? If there is a slight mistake, it will not only cost her small life, but also affect the entire Dong Mansion.
He was about to reprimand his daughter, but after Li Zhouyu heard it, he nodded his head: "The third lady is reasonable, it was already too late, and it wouldn't be good if it was delayed for a while." ”
Then he actually walked back and sat down again.
Taishi Dong was stunned, what kind of person this Li Zhouyu was, he couldn't be clearer. This person's heart is like water, cold as ice, because there is the emperor behind him, so he never has to buy anyone's face.
But this time, Dong Qianmo simply said two words, he really followed the little woman's suggestion, and did it for the sake of face?
This is incredible, but it is a favorable thing for Dong Taishi, after all, Taishifu was suddenly detained for a crime that has nothing to do with the coma of the world, this crime is not small, and it can drag on for a moment.
Dong Taishi nodded at Dong Qianmo, he didn't know if this was a reproach, a compliment, or a gratitude.
This time, a few words from this little woman are likely to save Dong Fu.
Unexpectedly, although Li Zhouyu here had the patience to listen to the whole scene, the people in the palace over there were impatient to wait, and the leader directly released the words-
"Who is the princess who has not passed through the door? Come out and confess! Shizi confessed before he fell into a coma, the person who harmed him was Dong Qianmo, which young lady in this study was Dong Qianmo? Do you stand up and follow us, or let us use the strong one? ”
