Chapter Twenty-Five: Worried about He Xiuyan
Today's Qingli Medical Center is still very busy, and it was not until sunset that a curfew was imposed on Xishan Street that I was finally able to eat a simple bite of food.
As soon as they finished eating, Tang Qingling and Jiangli worked non-stop to sort out the medicinal materials they brought back from the medicine garden today. Tang Mobai walked over and asked, "It's okay over there in the medicine garden, I've been really busy lately, and I haven't been over to see it for a long time."
"Dad, don't worry, it's very good over there, and the medicinal herbs you planted are growing very well."
"That's good, it's really hard for you during this time, running on both sides of the hospital and the medicine garden",
"It's okay Dad, I'll hold on", said Tang Qingling and beat his chest, looking like a pioneer.
"You, it's really strange, I've liked to deal with these herbs since I was a child, but I'm afraid to take medicine", Tang Mobai doted on Tang Qingling's head.
Tang Qingling stuck out his tongue and said with a mischievous smile: "Dad, look at this Bao Lizi, it is originally a sun-loving thing, and it has been in the north of the ice and snow for most of the year, and it has also been raised by me very well, am I very powerful", "My daughter is the best", Tang Mobai caressed Tang Qingling's hair lovingly.
"This is a good medicine for coughing and asthma, the people in the north have more cough and asthma symptoms because of the weather, we have to find a way to plant more, it is too expensive to buy from other places, and the people here may not be able to afford it", Tang Mobai is silent on weekdays, and when it comes to medicine, he is endless.
"Ling'er, tomorrow my father is going to the army, and this medical hall will be handed over to you",
"Go to the barracks! Is the father-in-law looking for his father? ”,
"It was General Ling who sent someone to inform you that your father-in-law's old illness had been committed again, and he was about to go on an expedition, and he wanted his father to take a look."
"Did my father-in-law's shoulder injury happen again?" , Tang Qingling stopped what he was saying and looked at Tang Mobai worriedly.
"Well, he has an old disease and needs to be recuperated, but the border disputes have been continuous in the past few years, and it has really hurt him, and he has been in the north for more than ten years", Tang Mobai nodded helplessly.
"I really hope that all this can be ended as soon as possible, so that the people can live in peace",
"I hope so, I'm tired today, let's go and rest early, there are still many things to do tomorrow", Tang Mobai patted Tang Qingling after speaking, and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by her.
"Dad, I, I want to ask ......, Brother Yan, they have been to the capital for more than a month, what news is there from the capital?" ,
Tang Mobai pondered for a moment, stroked his beard and said: "The day before yesterday, Steward Liu from the Northern Underworld Mansion came to see the doctor and said that his master was all right in the capital, but he didn't know when he would be able to come back."
"Oh, it's okay, my daughter is a little worried about his cold illness",
"Don't worry, they are going with prescriptions, and they are going to the capital, which is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and you can rest assured that good doctors are gathering the financial resources of the He family."
"That's right, besides, the weather over there is also more suitable for Brother Yan to recuperate", hearing that He Xiuyan was all right, Tang Qingling was also a lot more relieved.
She and He Xiuyan have known each other since childhood, he treats her like a sister, and there is no rich child at all, and now he will not know when he will part, and he feels very uncomfortable, but he is very good now, and he is much better.
Outside the palace gate, Xing Tianyuan saw that he was riding King Lin's soft sedan chair out of the palace gate, and immediately greeted him. After the sedan chair was settled, Xing Tianyuan helped King Lin down, and after the palace people handed the food box brought out from Changning Palace to Xing Tianyuan, they bowed goodbye to King Lin and turned around and returned to the palace.
"Lord Wang, what is this?" , Xing Tianyuan asked with some curiosity while holding the food box.
"Go home", King Lin did not respond to Xing Tianyuan's question, and walked straight to the carriage, Xing Tianyuan followed behind with a food box, and helped King Lin with one hand to send him into the carriage, and he followed in, just after sitting down, King Lin said to Xing Tianyuan lightly: "Dispose of it."
King Lin glanced at the food box, "Lord Wang, what is this?" Xing Tianyuan asked again, "Young and ignorant", King Lin said four words coldly, and Xing Tianyuan was a little foggy when he listened, and scratched his head unconsciously. At this time, King Lin seemed to be a little tired, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.
At night, inside the Prime Minister's Mansion
"Father, the child sent someone to watch the prince's mansion for a few days, but there is still no change, is the father too worried",
"He's an old fox, and the expedition has nothing to do with him, but at this time he jumped out and expressed his support, which in itself has to make his father think more",
"What about Old Lord Gu?" ,
"Keep staring, don't relax for a moment",
"No", "What happened to the palace and the North Hades Mansion?" ”,
"My lord, everything is normal over there in the North Underworld, there are only a dozen subordinates in the entire North Underworld to take care of the mansion, and the guards are all following King Linwang to the capital, and they are now stationed outside the city, and they will be organized again tomorrow, I don't know if the people who are still in the North Underworld need to be withdrawn",
"Don't be in a hurry, let them wait over there, after the expedition, they will still be useful",
"No",
"My lord, there is an interesting thing in the palace today", Yang Rui said with interest.
"What?" ,
"Today, King Lin went to the palace to give the emperor a post, and without saying a few words, he was invited to Changning Palace by Mo Niang, who was sent by the Queen Mother."
"Oh, let's talk about it carefully", Murong Ba was aroused by Yang Rui's words.
Yang Rui told Murong Ba everything that happened in the palace today, and after hearing this, Murong Ba chuckled and said: "Okay, mother and son, our emperor is afraid that it will be very uncomfortable today", the three people who heard the words looked at each other.
"My lord, my subordinates have found another thing, but I don't know if it has anything to do with our affairs?" ,
"What's the matter?" ,
"Today, after King Lin left the palace, he brought out a food box from the palace, which was nothing, but he saw that King Lin's face was not very good, and his subordinates ordered someone to follow, wanting to find out, and it turned out that after the carriage returned to the prince's mansion, King Lin's personal guard Xing Tianyuan took the food box directly and threw it away, and the people under him saw it, except for a Gu pear flower soup in the food box, there was nothing, I don't know if something has been taken away, or is there really nothing?" , Yang Rui truthfully reported today's unexpected discovery to Murong Ba.
"Is that true?" ,
"It's true," Yang Rui said affirmatively.
"If that's the case, then it's a good thing for us," Murong Ba showed a rare smile.
"Father, why do you say that?" ,
Murong Ba continued: "There is indeed nothing in the food box except pear blossom soup",
"My lord, how do you know that there is nothing in that food box",
"Pear blossom soup is King Lin's favorite food when he was young, and the Gu pear blossom soup must be specially prepared by the Queen Mother for King Lin."
"Then why did King Lin ......?" Yang Rui asked puzzled.
"Who wants to eat the food that comes to them", Murong Ba said without a beginning or an end, which made Yang Rui even more confused.
"Father, it seems that King Lin has been very unhappy in the Northern Underworld Mansion all these years",
"Father, you have always sent people to contact the king, and he has always been pretentious, and now it seems that this is no more than that",
Murong Ba shook his hand lightly, not very agreeing with Murong Zai's words, and said: "This is his shrewdness, he has not been favored by his father since he was a child, and he has no mother's family to rely on, so it is common sense to be careful."
"It's just, father ......", Murong Zai hesitated for a moment, and finally said,
"In this way, how can the king of Lin, who is thoughtful, be of easy use to us......",
Murong Ba chuckled, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and said with a hint of contempt in his tone: "A toothless tiger is just a smart cat", and after that, everyone in the room showed a confident smile.
