Chapter 7: Revealing the Secrets of His Life
The prisoner cart gradually moved away, the tears on Jiang Xinyue's face had dried, and she held a small box tightly.
Last night, she went to visit Li Qianwen and learned a shocking secret.
When Li Qianwen learned that the case was going to be retried, he was so excited that he burst into tears. He dismissed his family members, took out a small box in the secret compartment of the bedroom, handed it to Jiang Xinyue, and motioned for her to open it.
The box was quaint and old, but exquisitely made. When she opened it, it was a sapphire hairpin with a faint blue glow.
On the hairpin is a rare white jade carving, with small petals clustered with a few trembling golden stamens. The workmanship is exquisite and elegant, like a thing made in the palace.
There is also a piece of yellow paper at the bottom of the box, on which is written in bright red cinnabar that the year of Renyin, the month of Bingwu, the day of Gengshen, and the hour of the hour.
"Uncle, isn't this the birthday of Chengye?" She knew it when she exchanged Geng posts.
"Not bad. It was given to me by his biological mother when she was dying. Li Qianwen sighed, picked up the hairpin, and pointed to the inside of the hairpin, where a small word "Yun" was engraved. The penmanship is elegant, and the handwriting has been a little blurry due to age.
"Birth mother? Uncle, what the hell is going on? Jiang Xinyue was taken aback.
Li Qianwen told her a dusty story. At that time, he studied under a famous medical expert, and he became famous in the capital very early, and was called to serve in the Tai Hospital.
Late one night, someone suddenly came to the palace of Nanqing, saying that someone in the palace was seriously ill and asked him to enter the palace as soon as possible to diagnose the disease.
Li Qianwen didn't dare to slack off, and immediately packed up the medical box and entered the palace. He followed the visitors to a courtyard, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled a strong smell of blood.
The candlelight in the room was dim, but the ornate furnishings could be faintly seen, and a young woman with a face as white as paper lay on the bed. The woman's sweaty long hair was scattered on the pillow, her dark eyes were lifeless, and the corners of her mouth were bloodstained. Lying beside him was a newborn baby with a blue face and closed eyes.
Li Qianwen hurriedly stepped forward to take the pulse. The middle-aged man grabbed his hand and said, "Mrs. has a difficult birth, and both mother and child are dead." ”
"What?" Li Qianwen didn't react for a while, since the mother and son died, why did he need to come? Looking at the patient on the bed again, it is clear that there is still a faint breath. He hurriedly retreated, how many filths and secrets were hidden in the mansion of the princes and nobles, which was not something that a little imperial doctor should know.
"Imperial Doctor Li, please write a medical case." The middle-aged man put a piece of gold in his hand and turned to call the servant.
Li Qianwen couldn't bear it in his heart, but he was also curious, and quietly reached out to catch the woman's pulse.
"Pecking pulse!" Li Qianwen was taken aback! Like a bird pecking at food, this is the pulse of poisoning, and the poison has already entered the lungs, and it is already difficult for the gods to save it.
The woman's lips moved. Li Qianwen saw that the middle-aged man hadn't come over yet, so he hurriedly got closer and heard her say, "Save my child." ”
The dying woman's eyes suddenly lit up, grabbed Li Qianwen's hand, and stuffed a small box into his hand.
Li Qianwen saw that the baby's little face was blue, but his eyebrows and eyes were handsome, and his weak breathing was intermittent. He felt sad and quietly put away the box.
Li Qianwen ended his memories, looked at Jiang Xinyue with a shocked face, and said slowly: "The hairpin and yellow paper were stuffed into my hands by the woman before she died, how can I, a little doctor, dare to get involved in the affairs of the palace?" But I didn't refuse, or was it the light in her eyes before she died? So bright, what a lot of will she has condensed! Li Qianwen sighed.
"And then?" Jiang Xinyue endured the emotions in her heart and asked cautiously.
The middle-aged man brought in the servants, ready to put the woman and the baby in the coffin.
Cold sweat broke out on Li Qianwen's forehead, and he mustered up his courage and shouted, "Please wait a minute!" ”
He shoved the ingot of gold into the middle-aged man's hand and told him that he wanted to bring the stillborn back to the medicine, and the man took the money and ignored it as if the baby was dead.
"In this way, I brought the child home and rescued it, and later the news came out that King Nanqing's concubine had a difficult birth, and both mother and son died. At that time, the prince was working on his father-in-law, and everything was handled by the princess. Later, I thought, they summoned me to the palace just to give an explanation to the prince, right? If they want to kill them afterwards, won't they crush an ant? The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, so I thought that my mother was filial piety, so I quit my job at the hospital and took my career back to my hometown to open the Rejuvenation Hall. Slowly Ye'er grew up, smart, kind, filial, and married Miss Jiang again, and I let go of my heart that had been hanging for many years. Who knew that it would suffer such a catastrophe again! Could it be that the people of the palace knew Ye'er's life experience back then? Must he be put to death? ”
"Xinyue, my life is on the verge of telling you about Ye'er's life experience, but I don't want to take this secret underground. The case will be retried, if Ye'er can escape with his life, you will forget what I told you today, and don't tell Ye'er about his life experience. If it is also fate, God only gave me and him the fate of father and son for the past 22 years. ”
Jiang Xinyue only felt that her heart was like a knife! She never expected that Li Chengye's fate would be unexpected, he was born with an accident, and now he is in danger because of himself.
"Uncle, you can rest assured that you will recuperate, and leave the business to me. Since the patrol has been retried, the case has taken a turn for the better. Just in case, I immediately went to Beijing to ask to see King Nanqing. You said that King Nanqing was not in the palace at that time, he should not have known, and now he will not see his son die without saving him. ”
"Xinyue, it's hard for you." Li Qianwen opened his eyes suddenly, this was exactly what he wanted to say but couldn't say.
"Chengye is my husband, if something happens to him, I can't survive." Jiang Xinyue clasped her hands and said calmly.
Jiang Xinyue came out of Li's house and returned to her home. Mrs. Jiang was happy and sad, and hugged her daughter into her arms, tears rippling.
Brother Ting hadn't seen his sister for a long time, and he knew that his future brother-in-law was in prison, and his sister was running around to rescue him. He obediently pulled his sister's sleeve and said seriously: "Sister, don't cry, wait for Brother Ting to grow up, become a big official, and arrest all the bad guys." ”
Jiang Xinyue wiped away her tears, pulled her mother and younger brother one by one, and said seriously: "Mother, Brother Ting, Li Gongzi was framed, and his life is on the line, I must not sit idly by." Tomorrow I will go out and try to save him. You stay at home and wait for me to come back. ”
"Yue'er don't worry, don't worry about us." Mrs. Jiang knew that once her daughter made up her mind, she would move forward.
Jiang Xinyue continued: "My daughter is going to be dangerous, and I don't know when I will come back, I have already explained the business of the family, he has been in our Jiang family for many years, loyal and trustworthy." In case I can't come back, mother, you have to take care of your brother. The hopes of the Jiang family are all in Brother Ting. ”
"Yue'er, don't talk nonsense!" Mrs. Jiang couldn't stop crying.
"Miss!" Ziyan cried like a tearful person and threw herself in front of Jiang Xinyue, "You can bring me with you." How can you be alone outside with no one to take care of you? ”
"No, you help me take care of my wife and young master at home." Jiang Xinyue said calmly.
It's okay, it's still in time. Looking at the prisoner car in the distance, Jiang Xinyue put away her tears, she was going to Beijing to find King Nanqing.
