The errands who came back were all old servants who had served their parents, and a few of them were companions of their mothers, who were more faithful and reliable.

Lutang's mother, Cui, is the daughter of a businessman, and her maternal grandfather's family is a wealthy family in Youzhou, and the Yaowang Valley controls the raw and cooked medicinal materials in the six northern states.

His father, Wenduan, guarded the North Pass, and raised military supplies with the power of Yaowanggu to stabilize the border army.

When he married his mother, he transported hundreds of cars of dowries from Youzhou to Beijing, and the real ten miles of red makeup flowers were splendid, which was called a grand scene for a while.

Soon after the death of his parents, his maternal grandfather and uncle died in Youzhou. The Cui family is not prosperous, and the Medicine King Valley, which has been inherited for more than ten generations, is defeated.

Wen Duan and his wife died, and the family property was controlled by Wen Hou, and the Lutang Ziqian sisters and Zhang Xiaoniang were forced to move out of the Wen West Mansion where they originally lived, and lived in a small courtyard in the corner of the Hou Mansion.

The property left by her mother was sealed, and there were only two boxes of medical books and pharmacopoeia, which Lutang carried with her.

In her previous life, she secretly lived in the Jin Palace, and was terminally ill several times, but she healed herself and lived for many years until she died tragically.

She had heard from her parents that her grandfather's medical skills were quite famous in Youzhou.

The people once called him "King Cui Yan", praised people for their ability to judge life and death, and even sang about him:

"The true king of Yama may not die, but the king of Cui Yama will definitely live!"

Her mother was familiar with her mother's family, and she was a well-known medical girl in Youzhou when she was not married.

It's a pity that she married into the Houmen as a wife and gave up all her medical skills and medicinal skills.

Lutang and his mother are proficient in medicine, and few people in the Manhou Mansion know about it. Only the old servant of the Cui family who knows the inside story is married.

After her mother's death, Zhang Xiaoniang dismissed a group of old servants of the Cui family in order to control her dowry, and those who can remain to this day are loyal and righteous people.

Lutang took the roster and sorted out the people in the hospital, and arranged errands according to their strengths.

"If you have followed my parents, you must know that 'faithfulness' is the most important thing. There are many people in the Hou Mansion, but our small courtyard must not speak inside and outside, like a copper wall. From today onwards, let's work together to share blessings and misfortunes. If anyone betrays the Lord, Heaven will punish him! ”

Lu Tang finished speaking with a stern face, and ordered Su Su to take two hundred taels of silver and distribute it to everyone, and everyone bowed down to receive the order and performed their duties.

Zhang Xiaoniang and Ziqian were originally untrustworthy, and Lutang chose another maid named "Ling'er" to monitor the two.

"How's the little lady's illness?" Lutang sent Ling'er over to explore Zhang Xiaoniang and Ziqian again.

It's only been two days, Zhang Xiaoniang has no strength to slap the bed and smash the stool, she leans on the bed and whimpers weakly:

"I served your parents and gave birth to your sister. Now that your wings are stiff, you want to leave me? ”

Lu Tang leaned over to help her tidy up the quilt, and asked with a smile: "After my parents died, you took care of me, and I have earned enough in the past few years, what else should I do?" ”

"Bloody mouth!" Zhang Xiaoniang spat at Lutang twice.

Lu Tang smiled and asked softly: "My mother has only been dead for three years, and you have made a lot of dowry, thinking that I am blind and can't see?" I've recalled a few of the old servants who guarded the storeroom, do you want to confront the little lady? ”

"Purple coriander! Purple coriander! Zhang Xiaoniang's face was full of fear, and she called her daughter hoarsely, and her voice was broken, "Hurry up and serve tea to your second sister!" ”

Ziqian entered the door in a panic with the tea cup, and even forgot to take the tea tray, burning her fingers.

Lu Tang took it and sniffed it, sneering.

The tea is medicated, and because the amount is too much, the taste is extremely strong.

This is the flesh and blood relatives she swore to protect in her previous life, and they are not soft-hearted at all!

Lutang held the teacup, his eyes lowered, and his tone was gentle and gentle.

"Ziqian is young and has done something wrong, my sister can't bear to blame you."

"I didn't do anything wrong." Zi Qian stalked her neck and confessed, and barely put on a smiling face, "Second sister, I bought the tea with my monthly money, you drink more!" ”

Lutang pretended to drink the tea and secretly spit on the handkerchief.

Ziqian breathed a sigh of relief and happily asked if she wanted another drink.

Lu Tang put down the teacup and mentioned her mother's illness with an indifferent expression.

"The little lady's illness is again, and the cough is very bad. The weather is bad in spring, so if you don't want to get sick, it's best to go out less. ”

Ziqian didn't realize it yet, and her mother had changed from pretending to be sick to being really sick.

"My little lady is coughing, please see a doctor, take more medicine will be fine. Today, the big sister sent Lang Zhong is very clever, and he will definitely be able to cure the little lady's disease! ”

Lu Tang's face was full of gentleness, and his words were punned: "Some sick people can't be cured, and the decoction can't be cured, and they can only be cured if they stay away from the source of the disease." ”

Ziqian didn't understand at all, and still argued: "The eldest sister has a noble status, and we can't invite any money from the Langzhong she sent." Second sister, don't say strange things, let's listen to the words of the eldest sister, she will be happy! ”

"What if she's happy?"

"If the big sister is happy, she won't come to bully us. She is the daughter of the long house, her father is a marquis, her mother is the prime minister's sister, and her younger brother is the son, who is much more noble than us. She's happy, and we're having a better time. ”

Lu Tang smiled helplessly: "She is also Wen's daughter, why do you want to look at her face?" ”

Ziqian was anxious, and her face was full of earnestness: "Don't provoke the big sister again, okay?" It would be good for her to take care of us casually. Second sister, let her more! ”

Zhang Xiaoniang was weak, and after a while, she gritted her teeth and said:

"Second girl, do you think you can be a princess? Bah! The identity of the eldest lady is more expensive than you, you can be a concubine at most! Your sister is pressed by you, when will she come out? ”

Ziqian is still helping: "Second sister, the eldest lady pinched you to death, just like killing an ant." Look at Sister Miaoyun in her house, she said that she would be killed, and the Hou Ye and Mrs. didn't say a word! ”

In her previous life, she tried her best to love her mother and sister, but Wen Hongyao scolded them. But they prefer to bajie wen red medicine, and never take the green begonia in their eyes.

This mother and daughter admire power, they don't understand reason, they only recognize sticks!

Lutang knew that they were hopeless, and when he went out, he arranged for the mother-in-law in the small kitchen:

"Give Xiaoniang another pair of cough medicine. The prescription of Lang Zhong's reward sent by the eldest lady can't spoil her kindness! ”

The maid Ling'er sent Lutang out, saw that there was no one on the left and right, and said in her ear: "Lang Zhong gave some medicinal powder, and put it under the mattress of the third lady." The medicine bag has the word 'Bunjitang' on it. ”

Lu Tang didn't squint and said, "Take good care of Zhang Xiaoniang and the third lady." ”

"The slave knows."

The powder in the tea is very common and is specially designed for women to stop menopausal and contraceptive. If it is taken for several days, it will change the pulse pattern, so that the pregnant woman also has a happy pulse.

In the previous life, Lutang lost his mind and mind at the banquet, and they were completely unaware of the drugging.

In this life, she was unscathed, but Zhang Xiaoniang's mother and daughter were in a mess, and their rude methods were easily discovered.

According to Wen Hongyao's script, after the Lutang banquet was lost, the servants found abortion pills and a bloody fetus in her room.

Marquis Wen was quite tolerant, and immediately asked King Jin to come over and ask him to take his niece as a concubine.

The king of Jin took the imperial doctor to check the pulse in person, and also checked the stillbirth, and the fetus was diagnosed for three months.

This means that Lutang is pregnant, and she wants to deceive her fiancé and confuse the royal blood. Xiao Yuanhui immediately brushed his sleeves away.

Wenhou confined Lutang to the ancestral hall, lied about his niece died of illness overnight, and married his eldest daughter to King Jin as a concubine.

King Jin didn't want the scandal to be publicized, so he quickly agreed to this family business.

Now that I think about it, this is all a bureau made by Wen Hongyao, but she herself has not come forward, and has been relying on Zhang Xiaoniang and Ziqian to secretly do the means.

So when Lutang was forced to be a prostitute, he saw Wen Hongyao's ruthless methods.

Lang Zhong of the Wenhong Medicine School is a fresh face, but the three words "Wenjitang" are very impressive in Lutang's memory.

In the previous life, the Xuanjia Army stationed in the northern suburbs of Xiao Yuanmu, the king of Qi, had to withdraw from the Gyeonggi stronghold due to an epidemic and lost six battalions of soldiers.

This incident dealt a great blow to the King of Qi, who had just returned to Beijing. He had to go out of Beijing to deal with the matter, and missed the opportunity to control the forbidden army.

Wenjitang controls Jingshi Medicine, and it is Wenhou's secret birth. The epidemic of the Xuanjia Army was caused by Wenjitang's use of fake medicine to deceive the garrison.

This is Lu Tang as a prostitute in the Jin Palace, and listened to the courtiers as a story during the banquet.

Lutang immediately went back to the room to call Su Su and ordered the carriage to go out.

"Go to Wenjitang and find Lang Zhong who treated Xiaoniang in the morning." Lutang ordered the coachman.

Wenjitang is the largest pharmacy in Beijing, and the door is bustling.

Lutang didn't get out of the car, Su Su volunteered to check, and soon found the person.

"Second Miss, I've seen this person, he is the cousin of the eldest lady's personal maid Miaotong." The coachman looked at Su Su's guidance and replied softly:

"Originally, it was a traveling doctor who walked the streets and alleys, but it was Miss Miaotong who was promoted to Wenjitang. He has been to the inner house several times this month, and he was picked up by Miao Tong at the second door. ”

If the host of the Wenhou Mansion is sick, all the doctors invited are the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital. If the servant is sick, he will also invite the medical hall under the Tai Hospital, and he has never invited Langzhong in Wenjitang.

It is fake for him to diagnose Zhang Xiaoniang, but it is true to prepare harmful medicine.

"Do you see clearly?" Lutang asked softly through the curtain.

The driver was very sure: "I was on duty in shifts at the second gate, and I could see it very clearly. ”

It is better for this person to be able to control it and interrogate the reason.

But the only person Lutang can trust is the old servant in the family, and it is far from being arrested and interrogated.

At this moment, there was a sudden chaos in the market, and everyone avoided the road.

"Miss, King Qi's guard of honor is here." The coachman said suddenly.

Xiao Yuanmu, the king of Qi, went out of the city to inspect the Xuanjia army garrison and had just returned to the city.

The guard of honor is not complicated, twenty-eight horsemen with armored guards open the way, Xiao Yuanmu is in a black robe and black horse, and the flag officer behind him holds high the two big flags of "Qi Wangmu" and "Xiao Cavalry General Xiao", and the horse's hooves are whistling in the dust.

"Let's stay out of the way." Lutang asked Su Su to get on the car.

The driver pulled the car slowly to the back alley.

At this time, it would be nice if someone could help, Lu Tang listened to Xiao Yuanmu's guard of honor and felt that he had more than enough heart but not enough strength.

"Miss, do you want to arrest this person?" Su Su asked.

"Forget it, we don't have the ability to arrest people for the time being, and making a disturbance will startle the snake." Lu Tang was helpless, knocked on the car window and said, "Go home." ”

No one outside the car answered, so I thought that the driver didn't hear, and when he raised the curtain, he couldn't help but be silent.

The coachman was tied up and squatted in the corner, and six black-clad guards held knives to protect the carriage.

Xiao Yuanmu sat on the edge of the car with two long legs blocking the door.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi?" Lutang screamed with surprise and joy, without the slightest feeling of being frightened.

Xiao Yuanmu was not polite, grabbed Su Su in the car, picked up the little girl with his backhand, and threw it to Chi Feng, the chief historian under the car.

"Miss!" Su Su exclaimed.

"Your Highness, don't hurt your handmaid!" Lu Tang knelt in the car, dragged Xiao Yuanmu's sleeve, and said anxiously: "She is not sensible." ”

"The maid is not sensible, it seems that the second lady is very sensible?" Xiao Yuanmu smiled evilly, and sat in the carriage without any scruples.
