Chapter 105: Duchess Zhaoning
Lu Tong returned to the medical hall.
The Hongman girl took her out of the back door of Yuxian Tower, changed her clothes and went back quietly in the carriage, without asking a word during the whole process. It seems that there is no need to question Pei Yunyi's orders, as long as you obey them.
When they arrived at the medical hall, the two got out of the carriage and entered, Yinzheng closed the door, and walked to the courtyard with Lu Tong, asking worriedly: "Girl, will that Master Pei suspect you?" β
Lu Tong shook his head: "I'll deal with it." β
She dressed up as a dancing girl in the middle of the night and went to the flower building, acting sneaky, with Pei Yunyi's scheming, it was impossible to treat it as nothing. Maybe they're all sending people to investigate now.
But first, he has no evidence, and secondly, Lu Tong has no place to hinder him now, and the biggest possibility is that both of them tacitly agreed to expose this matter without mentioning it-
After all, Pei Yunyi's own relationship with that Hongman girl is also worth considering.
Who in this world doesn't have a secret?
Yinzheng asked again: "Today, the girl can't get close to Qi Yutai, what should I do in the future?" β
Lu Tong's gaze fell silent.
After a while, she said, "Wait, let's find another opportunity." β
It was much more difficult to get close to Qi Yutai than she imagined, especially the sudden encounter tonight, Qi Yutai's secret guard was so keen, she only stayed on the third floor for a while, and Qi Yutai's people immediately tracked it down.
Either that, or the people around him are always alert.
Either...... It's that he has a ghost in his heart, and he has been on guard for a long time.
Either way, it will be an obstacle to Lu Tong's revenge plan.
Yin Zheng saw Lu Tong's uncertain expression, and hurriedly said, "That's it, it's too late today." The girl should freshen up and rest on the bed first, so as not to be seen by the shopkeeper Du early tomorrow morning. β
"The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, not this time, let's think of another way next time!"
Lu Tong heard the relief in her words, nodded in response, took off the residual makeup and freshened up, and finally turned off the lights and went to bed.
The sound of rain outside the window is getting quieter, and the rainy winter night is always colder and more bleak.
The hut was very cold, not as warm as the warm pavilion of Yuxian Tower, and the tent was not as gorgeous and fragrant as there. Lu Tong lay on the couch, looking at the tassels at the corners of the tent through a little light in the window, and there was no sleepiness in his eyes.
She tried her best to spend a lot of money to get into the flower building, and in the end she only heard Qi Yutai's voice and saw the corner of Qi Yutai's clothes.
She wanted to deal with Qi Yutai.
In front of the mass grave in Wangchun Mountain, Liu Kun, who had a ghost in his heart, faced her and asked her, and spit out the name of "Qi Family" in a panic.
Lu Tong can now be completely sure that the Qi family is the Qi Taishi Qi Qing Mansion, and Lu Rou was killed at the hands of Qi Yutai, the son of the Qi family. It's just that the rank and status in the Taishi Mansion are very strict, and with her identity as a small doctor sitting in the hall, she can't get close to Qi Yutai at all.
I waited for a long time and didn't find an opportunity, I wanted to take advantage of Qi Yutai's birthday tonight, but I didn't expect that in the end, I couldn't succeed.
Lu Tong was a little disappointed in his heart.
The secret guards around Qi Yutai are so vigilant, how difficult is it to find another opportunity if it goes on like this? You must know that in Yuxian Tower, she asked Pei Yunyi: "You princes and grandsons, there have always been so many secret guards guarding you when you go out?" β
At that time, Pei Yunyao replied: "He is, I am not." β
Qi Yutai has so many pairs of eyes staring at him when he goes out, how can he get close......
How could it be close......
Wrong! Wrong!
Lu Tong was stunned and sat up suddenly.
Since there are so many secret guards around Qi Yutai, how did Lu Rou enter Qi Yutai's room in the first place? Judging from his actions tonight, isn't it that Lu Rou was arrested before he got close?
Lu Tong finally understood where the strangeness in her heart came from when Pei Yunyi said this sentence.
Ke Chengxing's little servant Wanfu said that Lu Rou went to Fengle Building to deliver sobering soup to Ke Chengxing that day, but he went to the wrong room and was targeted by Qi Yutai.
But there is a room of Qi Yutai guarded by secret guards, which is so easy to enter.
Also, what did Qi Yutai do when he went to Fengle Building? This human nature is greedy for luxury, and he has always enjoyed himself in the most prosperous Yuxian Building in Shengjing, why did he go to Fengle Lou that day was not as good as Yuxian Building.
ran into Lu Rou in Fengle Building......
More and more suspicious points appeared, and Lu Tong's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog. The mist was layered on top of each other, and she couldn't see the end at a glance, and she was alone in it, like a small lonely boat sailing into the sea, and the next moment she was going to be swallowed up by these undercurrentsβ
"Smack".
Outside the window, the night rain was murmuring, and the wind blew the window slightly.
His hand touched the cold futon, Lu Tong came back to his senses and slowly tightened the cotton jacket under his body.
She will find out the truth, and she will definitely seek justice for the Lu family.
Whatever the means.
Whether it's the Qi family or someone else.
β¦β¦
The next day the rain stopped.
It was late in winter, and when Du Changqing came to the hospital, Yinzheng and Lu Tong had been busy for a long time.
Ah Cheng took a broom to clean up the fallen branches that were blown down by the heavy rain last night, Du Changqing turned his face, approached Lu Tong carefully, and then muttered: "Good complexion, Doctor Lu, you look weak, and your body is so good that you are very fast." β
Previously, Yin Zheng told him that Lu Tong had to rest for a day due to the cold, and he was so good that he stole to Yuxian Tower, and Du Changqing did not suspect it.
He took out the abacus again, calculated the input expenses for this month, and only halfway through it, when he heard Ah Cheng at the door shouting: "Big, adult? β
Du Changqing looked up and saw a handsome young man in a scarlet official uniform walking in.
About getting up too early, Du Changqing's mind was not very clear at the moment, and before he could call out this person's name, Lu Tong, who came out of the inner bunk, was already standing behind him and said: "Palace Marshal." β
The marshal?
Du Changqing's face changed suddenly.
To be honest, he really didn't have a good impression of the conductor. You must know that a few months ago, it was Pei Yunyao who led a group of bastards who patrolled the shop house to turn the medical hall upside down. At that time, Pei Yunyao's meaningful appearance almost made Du Changqing himself suspect that there was really a dead body hidden in their medical hall.
Now that I see this person again, the old hatred immediately came to my heart, and I was still a little nervous, for fear that the surnamed Pei would pour a basin of earth-shattering dirty water on the hospital again.
Du Changqing put up a false smile: "I don't know what is the important matter of Lord Pei's Guilin Cold Pavilion?" He glared at Ah Cheng again, "Why don't you go and make tea for adults!" β
Pei Yunyao looked around, and sat down in front of the inner shop, as if he was returning to his home.
He said, "I'm here to get medicine from Dr. Lu." β
Du Changqing was puzzled: "Grab the medicine?" β
"Baozhu and my sister's medicine is running out, I happened to be passing by here today, so I came to Dr. Lu to grab the medicine." He replied to Du Changqing's words, but his gaze turned to Lu Hitomi.
Du Changqing was stunned.
It turned out to be for Princess Pei Yunshu of Wenjun.
Although Du Changqing did not want Lu Tong to go to the troubled waters of Wenjun Palace, the so-called art master was bold, Lu Tong had already taken over this mess, and the people who should be offended were also offended, and now he could only hug Pei Yunshu, no, it should be said that it was Pei Yunyao's thigh, and he used the power of the Pei family to make the Wenjun Mansion dare not make trouble.
Thinking of this, Du Changqing looked at the other party's eyes and was a little relieved, and even glanced at the inner bunk: "Why is Ah Cheng pouring tea like this?" It's not like that, I'm going to rush! β
After that, he lifted the curtain and entered the shop, and also took away the silver kite, and intimately left the medical hall to Lu Tong and Pei Yunyao.
Pei Yunyao looked at Lu Tong and smiled, his tone was very natural: "Doctor Lu." β
Lu Tong was silent.
When she met Pei Yunhui in Yuxian Tower last night, she had already guessed that with Pei Yunhui's scheming, she must have already noticed that something was wrong. But he didn't ask anything at the time, and the two of them kept each other secret.
Lu Tong didn't expect him to come to Renxin Medical Center early this morning, so open-minded, I don't know what he was thinking.
After a pause, Lu Tong walked to the long table in the shop, took the square paper and pen, lowered his head to write the prescription, and said: "This time the prescription remains the same, after eating these pieces, change to a new prescription." β
Pei Yunyi saw her movements, thought for a while, got up and walked to the long table.
The black characters on the white paper are flying and the phoenix is dancing, if you don't recognize it carefully, it is really difficult to see what is written, which is completely different from her beautiful and beautiful appearance.
He looked down at the ink on the prescription: "Why is the handwriting so sloppy?" β
Lu Tong: "Doctors are like this. β
Pei Yunyao shrugged his shoulders: "It rained heavily last night, and Dr. Lu walked in a hurry, didn't catch a cold?" β
Lu Tong was stunned by the tip of the pen, and a drop of ink flowed out of the nib, creating a large cloud of dark color on the paper. She stopped writing and raised her eyes to stare at the person in front of her, her eyes showing warning.
"What exactly does Master Pei want to say?"
She didn't want to talk about this matter with Pei Yunyi in the medical hall, although Du Changqing sometimes didn't look at it, sometimes he was extremely shrewd in these things.
Pei Yunyi was unmoved, as if deliberately provoking her, she spoke: "I don't know if Dr. Lu knows, Fan Zhenglian is dead." β
His tone was casual, as if he didn't see Lu Tong's cold face, and continued: "Before Fan Zhenglian's death, there were rumors that he colluded with the Ministry of Rites to manipulate the tribute was the intention of the Taishi Mansion, and soon after, Fan Zhenglian committed suicide by hanging himself in prison. Some people suspect that it is the mouth of the Taishifu extinguished. β
Lu Tong didn't laugh angrily: "Do you think that my lord thinks that I have the ability to make the prisoners in the prison commit suicide by hanging themselves?" β
Pei Yunyao nodded: "Of course Doctor Lu doesn't have that ability, but last night was the birthday of Qi Yutai, the son of Master Qi, and Doctor Lu pretended to be a dancing girl on the third floor of the Yuxian Building, which happened to be the pavilion where Qi Yutai was located." β
"I'm thinking about ......"
He approached Lu Tong, stared at Lu Tong's eyes, and said with a light smile: "Doctor Lu won't want to deal with it at the beginning, it's the Taishi Mansion, right?" β
Lu Tong's heart froze.
Pei Yunyi was very close.
Different from the scene in the red tent full of pearls and greens last night, the young man who changed into official clothes seemed to have even faded away from the truth in Zhu Lou, leaning on the table and cabinet slightly, clearly still smiling eyebrows, but his eyes were like sharp blades, cutting the secret of people's hearts inch by inch.
She knew that this person was scheming, but if she was too smart and didn't hide her intelligence, she could easily become a threat to others.
Threat...... It should be eradicated mercilessly.
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared behind him: "What are you doing?!" β
Du Changqing, who came out with tea, raised his eyes and saw the two people looking at each other at the long table, and couldn't help but shout.
Lu Tong was stunned, stepped back a little, and distanced himself from Pei Yunyi.
Du Changqing was like an old farmer who saw his cabbage being arched by a pig, he took three steps and made two steps, put the tea cup in his hand on the table, and splashed the tea on one side of the prescription paper.
He stood in front of Lu Tong, looked at Pei Yunyi's eyes full of vigilance, and said, "Master Pei, our Doctor Lu has a marriage contract, and we still have to behave more measuredly. β
Lu Tong: "......"
"Engagement?"
Pei Yunyao straightened up, as if he was interested, and asked with a lot of mouth, "The shopkeeper has seen Dr. Lu's fiancΓ©?" β
Du Changqing smiled, and said without smiling, "Of course, Dr. Lu's fiancΓ© is young and promising, his family background is noble, and Dr. Lu has a life-saving grace with others, and the golden boy and girl are born as a pair, and our Dr. Lu went to Beijing to fulfill the marriage contract." β
Pei Yunyi smiled: "Why didn't you see him?" β
"Gaomen Guifu, the rules are big," Du Changqing lied without blinking, "I am on an errand in the palace again, and I am very busy." How can you shake around like a dog skin plaster every day. β
He deliberately accentuated the words "dog skin plaster".
Before he finished speaking, someone outside the door spoke: "Who is the dog skin plaster?" β
Sister-in-law Song walked in with Widow Sun in her arms, and Yinzheng stepped forward with a smile: "Girl Sun, why are Sister-in-law Song here?" β
Widow Sun pulled the broken hair on her cheeks behind her ears and spoke softly, "Somehow, I've been sleeping a little unsteadily at night recently, so I'm here to ask Dr. Lu to take a look." β
Lu Tong walked to the front and asked Widow Sun to sit down and check her pulse, Sister-in-law Song looked at Pei Yunyao and asked Du Changqing: "Shopkeeper Du, who is this handsome son?" It's not from our West Street. β
Du Changqing rolled his eyes, and Ah Cheng replied enthusiastically: "This is the prince of Zhaoning, the commander of the front division of the palace, Master Pei!" β
"Ah," Widow Sun's face turned red all of a sudden, and she secretly glanced at Pei Yunyao, as if she was very satisfied, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know if this little Pei has a marriage match now?" β
Du Changqing: "......"
Silver Kite turned his back and laughed secretly.
There were a few more people in the infirmary, and it immediately became crowded. Pei Yunyi didn't care either, picked up the medicine he had just grasped, and said to Lu Tong: "There are still errands on my body, I'll talk about it another day." Doctor Lu, let's go. β
With that, he turned around and walked out of the door of the medical hall.
Widow Sun and Sister-in-law Song turned around, saying "What a handsome man", while stretching their necks to look at his back, quite reluctant.
Du Changqing threw a handkerchief on the table and said, "What do you see, haven't you seen a handsome man?" Isn't it enough for you to see that I'm such a big and handsome man? Annoying! β
Widow Sun didn't care about his rude behavior, and only raised her head and approached Lu Tong: "Doctor Lu, are you very familiar with this little Pei?" Will he come to West Street in the future? β
Sister-in-law Song also said: "Next time he wants to come again, you talk to me, I will let the girl in the family come out to see, such a handsome son, if only he could be my son-in-law." β
Du Changqing couldn't bear it anymore, and finally sent the two out easily, before he looked back at Lu Tong who was wiping the medicine residue on the table, "What were you talking about just now?" β
"Grab the medicine."
"Can you get so close to the medicine?"
Du Changqing didn't believe it, "The owner reminds you that the surname Pei is not a good person, don't look at his appearance, his heart and eyes may be darker than anyone else." β
Yinzheng couldn't look at it: "Shopkeeper Du is jealous, right?" β
"Am I jealous?" Du Changqing sneered, and then lowered his voice: "Who in this city doesn't know, when the Shengjing rebels rebelled in rebellion, the leader held the Duchess of Zhaoning hostage in front of the battle, it was his mother surnamed Pei, who wanted to escape with this, who ......knows?"
Yinzheng was curious: "Zhaoning has released people?" β
Lu Tong also looked at Du Changqing.
"Nope! Duke Pei Di of Zhaoning did not frown and continued to suppress the chaos, but as a result, the Duchess of Zhaoning was beheaded by the rebel army in full view of everyone, and she died a miserable death! β
Lu Tong's eyebrows moved, she inquired about Pei Yunyi's little news, but she had never heard of the matter of Duchess Zhaoning.
Du Changqing was still saying: "Think about it, one night husband and wife for a hundred days, Zhaoning Gong can be so ruthless to the person next to the pillow, if it is our good, we will hesitate, he is good, he doesn't care about anything." If a father is so ruthless, how good can he be when he is a son? β
Yinzheng thought for a moment: "But didn't you say that the rebels were in rebellion?" If Zhaoning Gong listened to the coercion, he would not be responsible for the people in the city. β
"If that's just the case, it really doesn't mean anything," Du Changqing snorted: "But Duchess Zhaoning died for two years, and Pei Di married another bride." Soon after, she gave birth to a son. β
"The death of the Duchess of Zhaoning has something to do with Pei Di, people died for him, he turned his head to marry someone else, had children, and the people had to observe the festival for three years. That's why I said, the Pei family is not very good. β
Du Changqing turned to Lu Tong and said earnestly: "Men look at men most accurately, listen to me, Doctor Lu, don't listen to Pei Yunyi's rhetoric, men can't be trusted." β
Ah Cheng couldn't help laughing: "Dongjia, you are also a man." β
"That's right," Du Changqing spread his hands, "I can't rely on it, so Doctor Lu shouldn't think about the wind and snow all day long, it's better to practice medicine and medicine well." In a few years, no one will remember the affairs of the Wenjun Palace, and you will not have any dealings with the surname Pei. β
Lu Tong responded casually, bowed his head slightly, and covered his eyes with a touch of deep thought.
She didn't expect Pei Yunyi to have such a past, she used to see that this person was amiable but scheming, and it was difficult to understand his complicated feelings, but now when she heard Du Changqing's explanation, she understood a little bit in her heart.
No wonder in the Wenjun Palace, he takes Pei Yunshu so seriously, and he does not hesitate to offend the Wenjun Mansion to let Pei Yunshu reconcile. It stands to reason that the breakdown of the marriage between the Gaomen is also a big deal for the Pei family, but from beginning to end, Lu Tong almost didn't hear the name of Zhaoning Gong Pei Di in it.
In other words, Pei Yunshu and Li, nine times out of ten, did not pass Pei Di's consent, but Pei Yunyao manipulated it.
From this point of view, the relationship between Pei Yunyi and the Pei family may not be as simple as it seems.
This may become another "weakness" for him.
Du Changqing was still chattering, "Do women live in the world just to get married?" The pattern is bigger, why not make a family business? For example, we will open our Renxin Medical Center to Qinghe Street in the south of the city to earn those rich people's silver, and when we have the silver, what kind of man can't find it? What surname Pei, what fiancΓ©, all let them get out! β
"Not bad."
Du Changqing turned to her: "What did you say?" β
"I said you were right."
Du Changqing's eyes lit up: "Huh?" Do you agree with letting them fuck off? β
Lu Tong shook his head.
"I said, 'It's a good idea to go get those rich people's money.'" She said.
It's \(β§β½β¦)/ another year
Liuguan and Xiao Pei, together with the friends of the Renxin Medical Center and the Temple Division, wish everyone a happy New Year! 2024 is in good health and safe and auspicious!!
I hope you will be happy every day in the new year and make your wishes come true \(^o^)/
