Chapter 49: Father and Son Suspect Each Other
Zi Qian did not stay in the Golden Court Immortal Temple for a few days. A few days later, a subordinate official and grandmother of the Jin Palace's Mansion came to her and asked her if she would like to change her name and serve in the palace.
After Ziqian saw the people coming from the Jin Palace, she seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, knelt in front of them and cried, saying that as long as Her Royal Highness still remembered the old love, she was willing to serve His Highness as a cow and a horse for the rest of her life.
She followed the carriage of the palace, and since then she has changed her name to Zi Yuan'er and has become a prostitute in the Jin Palace.
When Lutang was reading the Bible that night, he was extremely uneasy. In her previous life, she was forced to experience her life experience, and she was almost completely stepped on by Ziqian on her own initiative. Purple coriander seems to have become her stand-in in this life.
"It's really self-inflicted!" Su Su really couldn't help it, sat next to Lu Tang, and scolded Ziqian in a low voice: "The third lady obviously lived a confused life, so she ended up like today." Is she embarrassed to blame the second lady? Today, someone from the Jin Wangfu came to pick her up, and the young lady also gave her a lot of the family property in the second room as a dowry. The young lady repaid her with virtue, but she didn't appreciate it at all. β
Lu Tang looked at the scriptures and did not speak, Ling'er whispered on the side: "The slave maid heard that there are many prostitutes in the Jin Palace. On weekdays, he specially entertained the subordinate officials of the government, or won over the important ministers of the court. The daughter of the third lady was deceived by King Jin, and now she is being given away as a prostitute for practice. This kind of beastly thing is really despicable. β
Xiao Yuanhui is a prince, but he is extremely unfortunate to the women around him. Whether it is a concubine or a concubine, they are all discardable playthings in his eyes, and they are at the mercy of their faces.
Lu Tang lowered his head and thought about it, back then, he had the intention of raping first and then marrying to himself, secretly communicating with Wen Hongyao, and confined her in the garden to play.
Later, Ziqian was even more shameless in public obscenity, and Ziqian still did not restrain after she became pregnant, and did not treat her as a lady in the boudoir at all.
And then today, when he practiced Wen Hongyao, he was in the palace, in front of Chen Guifei and the princess, and he put Wen Hongyao to death without any scruples.
Think about the two fiancΓ©es who died early when he was young. It seems that the wives and concubines around him have no good end.
This has something to do with his unkindness, but there is something surprising about it.
In the early morning of the second day, Lutang wandered around the library of Jinting Xianguan. In addition to the Taoist scriptures, there are some other records here.
Lu Tang took out a few books at random to watch, it turned out that seven or eight years ago, the envoys of Beiyan came to Beijing and brought tribute girls to the pilgrimage to the saint. The tribute girl "Chen" in the record is the later Chen Guifei.
She suddenly remembered the situation of Chen Guifei yesterday, so she took the record to the downstairs of the library and looked carefully at the sun. When I looked at it, I couldn't help but be surprised.
The person who went to Beiguan to greet the Beiyan envoy group was none other than Xiao Yuanhui, the king of Jin! The record also specifically stated that when the Beiyan delegation arrived in Beiguan, due to the bad weather, there was a plague in Beiguan, and the chief and deputy envoys and tribute girls were sick and stranded. The entire mission rested in Beiguan for a month, and then set off to Beijing.
Seven or eight years ago, Lutang's parents took her to live in Youzhou, which is very close to Beiguan. In her memory, there was no epidemic near Beiguan at that time.
The mission was stranded for a month, and Xiao Yuanhui, who greeted the mission, had no record of coming and going to Beijing. It seems that he accompanied the mission to stay in Beiguan for a whole month.
No wonder, he and Chen Guifei were the same party in their previous lives, and they must have met on her way to Beijing with the mission.
Lu Tang saw this clearly, put the record back in the library cabinet, and went downstairs thoughtfully.
"Miss, the white girl is here." Su Su came to the door of the library to reply.
Lutang has nothing to do these days, and has transferred the original medicine garden of the Hou Mansion to the Xianguan Garden, but there is still a need for some medicinal seeds.
Xiao Yuanzhen was very concerned about this, and specially sent a palace medicine girl over to help her choose some valuable medicinal materials.
The medical woman Bai is in her twenties and has a calm and sophisticated demeanor. She brought some medicinal herbs that Lutang had said and selected them for her.
Lutang was choosing medicine while chatting with her. Bai is a doctor in the palace, and her mouth is extremely strict, and she never mentions the illness of the nobles in the palace.
But when chatting, Lutang obviously felt that she was extremely interested in the medicine against carbuncles, and this medicine was used on children.
"White girl, forgive the little girl. If the anti-carbuncle medicine, although Yujin and Panax notoginseng are excellent, but they are not available for children, it is better to try chicken blood vine and salvia, which have miraculous effects on children's anti-carbuncle. Lu Tang said with a smile.
Bai Shi pursed his lips and smiled, paused and said, "It seems that the princess is not wrong, but the master of the Golden Court is a famous doctor." To tell the truth, although chicken blood vine and salvia miltiorrhiza are good for children's carbuncles, I can't use them. Because the patient's qi and blood do not coagulate, the bleeding is easy to stop. β
Lu Tang's heart moved, so he had to ask: "The little prince in the palace, does he have blood clotting?" β
Seeing that she had guessed it, Bai Shi had to sigh and said, "Since you guessed it, I won't hide it." The little prince was born prematurely, with congenital deficiency, and his blood did not clot since he was a child, so he had to be extremely cautious. β
"Oh?" Lu Tang asked casually in confusion: "Shengshang and Chen Guifei, do they also have this disease?" β
Bai shook his head and said, "Adults don't have this symptom. β
Although the two were chatting, they both felt that they had talked too much, so they had to smile awkwardly. Bai put down the medicinal materials he had sent, and said that there were still envoys in the palace, so he bowed down and left.
Lu Tang got the news of her, but she was extremely uneasy in her heart.
Her mother had been studying blood clotting since she was young. In a year or two, the people who have seen this disease in Youzhou have been compiled into a book, and it has been found that this disease has a law passed down from father to son.
The child suffering from this disease is by no means caused by premature birth congenital deficiency, and is most likely passed on to him by his father.
She clearly remembered that in her previous life, Xiao Yuanhui, the king of Jin, had this disease!
Today, neither Shengshang nor Chen Guifei have this symptom, nor does Xiao Yuanmu, the king of Qi. However, the little prince born to Xiao Yuanhui and Chen Guifei has this problem.
After Chen Guifei entered the palace, she gave birth to a male concubine in eight months. From this point of view, I am afraid that the father of the little prince is very likely to be Xiao Yuanhui!
Lu Tang knew this secret, and his heart was pounding.
If Chen Guifei really had an affair with Xiao Yuanhui, the king of Jin, Wen Hongyao and Xiao Yuanhui's palace meeting was broken by her, maybe she did it on purpose.
Prince Xiao Yuanhui is supreme, and it is even more difficult for Lutang to kill him to take revenge. If this matter is broken, it will definitely be able to give Xiao Yuanhui a fatal blow.
Chen Guifei has been the prince since she entered the palace, and she has been pampering the prince and the prince for a long time. It seems that this matter has to start with the queen in order to get benefits.
Lu Tang's heart moved, and he immediately turned around and took out his mother's medical practice record, and took out an ancient medical book of the previous generation.
For two days and one night, she fused her mother's record of blood coagulation with ancient books and wrote a new medical book.
pretended to rely on the medical skills of his predecessors, and took an antique name. Lu Tang prepared this book and some medicinal herbs, and when the medical girl Bai accompanied Xiao Yuanzhen again, he handed the book to her.
"If Her Royal Highness the eldest princess wants to cancel the marriage contract with the Yan family, why don't you ask the queen for help?" Lutang asked as he served tea.
"This matter is decided by the imperial brother, and the imperial sister-in-law is naturally indispensable, so what does she have to say?" Xiao Yuanzhen now has only the last treasure pressed on the lunar eclipse on the ninth day of October.
Lu Tang thought for a moment in his heart, pointed to the medical book in Bai's hand and said: "This book contains prescriptions and records for the treatment of blood and qi coagulation, and the courtiers feel that it is extremely useful when they read it. β
Bai Shi also said to Xiao Yuanzhen: "Master Jin Ting's medical and pharmacological reasoning is very clear, and the medication guidance to the courtiers last time is also very suitable for the illness of the little prince." β
Xiao Yuanzhen suddenly felt that Lu Tang's words did not match the preface and afterword, and asked in surprise: "The little prince is the child of the concubine, and it was only because he competed with the queen mother for favor that he had a miscarriage that caused him to suffer from congenital insufficiency. β
When Lu Tang heard her talk about this, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at Bai's family, Bai Shi hurriedly retreated, and Lu Tang smiled indifferently: "The courtiers heard that His Royal Highness the King of Jin also has this disease." β
When Xiao Yuanzhen heard this, his eyes couldn't help but roll, and he looked at Lutang suspiciously.
Lu Tang lowered his eyes and said: "The courtiers dare not say much about this matter. If the eldest princess finds the news useful, why not go back and ask her confidant doctor to explain and discuss. If it is useful, you can return to the queen. If the queen finds out the truth, she will definitely respond to the requests of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. β
Xiao Yuan is really a very smart person, and he has already understood the reason for this situation, and he can't help sneering: "If this matter is true, it is a major event that will shake the world." Are you sure? β
Lu Tang pondered: "Back then, Chen Guifei gave birth early, and no one in the hospital raised any objections. Now that seven or eight years have passed, how dare the courtiers mention the word grasp? But the little prince and the king of Jin suffer from this disease together, even so. The eldest princess may be able to gamble on it. β
Xiao Yuanzhen glanced back at the medicine girl and muttered, "Now that the matter is now, this palace naturally has to make a gamble. What you just said is that Chen Guifei gave birth in less than a month, and no one in the hospital has any objections, so what you said is not right. Not long after she gave birth, the doctor of the Tai Hospital was dying violently, and the deputy doctor was to blame, because His Majesty was angry that the Tai Hospital failed to take good care of her pregnancy, which caused the little prince to be born prematurely. The white doctor girl is the daughter of the white doctor. β
I see!
With these things piled up, it seems that there must be something strange about this matter!
Xiao Yuanzhen and Lu Tang discussed in Jinting Xianguan, and Xiao Yuanzhen immediately went back to the palace.
Lutang once again found out the medical classics and collected the records of many classics on this matter.
When I had done all this, it was late at night. Only then did she remember that she hadn't seen Xiao Yuanmu, the king of Qi, for a few days. So Ling Susu got up early tomorrow and went out to bring a letter to King Qi, saying that there was something important to discuss in person.
In the early morning of the second day, before she got up, Ling'er went to the bedside and said: "The news of the post station has reached Jingshi, and Marquis Wen has died on the way to exile. β
When his uncle died, Lu Tang just replied lightly, "I know", and Ling'er added: "In Prime Minister Yan's mansion, the eldest lady's illness is even more serious. β
