Chapter 54: The Loneliness of the King
Zheng Bingrong saw Xiao Chenghan, who was bowing to her on the side, and returned the salute: "Xiao Zhangyuan, you can prescribe a prescription for Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang that has the most peaceful medicinal properties, with a little warmth, but it will never spoil the medicinal properties of black jade blood ginseng! When she said that she would not destroy the medicinal properties of the black jade blood ginseng, her tone was particularly much higher.
Xiao Chenghan said: "The old minister has received the order, please let Her Royal Highness the princess be relieved, this recipe will never spoil the medicinal properties of the black jade blood ginseng." ”
Yang Yuxin frowned and said, "Sister, is this really not in the way?"
Zheng Bingrong said: "If you don't believe it, ask Chunmei and them, we still have to feed Duan Gongzi some food such as ginseng soup and gravy every day, otherwise even if he is iron-beaten, how can he survive so many days." ”
Chunmei pouted and said, "Princess Bingrong, we also told Princess Yuxin, but she didn't believe it, and said that Duan Gongzi could eat some meat, so she didn't have to." ”
Zheng Bingrong walked over, touched Yang Yuxin's hair and said, "Then you are so stupid, besides, you are tired, even if Duan Gongzi wakes up, what will he do? Let him save you?!"
"I don't want him to save me! Every time he saves me, it's thrilling. Yang Yuxin's face turned crimson, and she said with a flat mouth.
Zheng Bingrong chuckled and said, "Okay, okay, silly sister, let's have a meal with my sister later, there are your favorite milk poria cream and crispy quail." ”
Yang Yuxin nodded obediently, stood up and said, "Sister Bingrong, I'm a little tired, and I want to take a nap here for a while." ”
Zheng Bingrong said with a happy face: "My sister knows how to take care of her body, the fragrance in the Lanyuan Pavilion is changed every day, you can go over by yourself, and when you have lunch, I will call you." Then he asked the maid in the house to lead Yang Yuxin to rest.
After Xiao Chenghan saw Yang Yixin leaving, he raised his thumb at Zheng Bingrong and praised: "Princess Fengzhi really has a way, I persuaded Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang for half a month, and she didn't listen, if you say two or three words, the princess will be willing to accept recuperation treatment." ”
Zheng Bingrong sighed: "When she first came back, she looked terrifying, and she didn't listen to anyone's persuasion, if it weren't for the Holy Master's luck to save Duan Gongzi's last breath of vitality, coupled with her own black jade ginseng blood magic effect, to save Duan Gongzi, I'm afraid she would also die of sorrow." During these days, she felt better, and I was able to persuade her. ”
Xiao Chenghan listened, pointed to Duan Qianqiu on the bed, and asked in a snort: "Isn't it Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang ...... Duan Gongzi?"
Zheng Bingrong glanced at Xiao Chenghan, pretended to be dazed, and said, "What do you say, Imperial Doctor Xiao, I don't know either." ”
"Yes, yes, the old minister is too worried. Xiao Chenghan replied, but he thought in his heart: "The emperor is extremely concerned about Princess Gaoyang's marriage, if the princess likes this young man, I don't know what kind of shock it will cause in the court?!"
Zheng Bingrong remembered something, so he asked Xiao Chenghan again: "Mei Fang hasn't seen her for a long time, where did she go?"
When Xiao Chenghan heard this, he looked bitter, he shook his head desperately and said: "I don't know where Uncle Mei went, her old man's whereabouts are secretive, and the dragon can't see the head and the tail, and I haven't seen her for several months." ”
"Oh, where is this little girl who is wild again?" Zheng Bingrong muttered to himself.
She didn't ask again, because she knew that if Mei Fang didn't want others to find her, there really would be no one in the world who could find her.
In the eastern area of Yehuang City, in Cai Xun's mansion.
The lights are brilliant, there are kabuki light songs and dances in the house, a group of musicians either hold the gonghou silk bamboo, or guard the chimes, beat and play, the whole banquet hall in the fairy music is around, listening to people fluttering immortals. There are also beautiful maids walking through the banquet, talking and smiling, diligently persuading wine, and a large number of delicacies are passed down like water. For a while, the whole banquet was staggered, with fragrant clothes and sideburns, just like the Yaochi Immortal Club.
Cai Xunxu leaned on top of the chief, holding a glass of wine, drinking lightly, whenever an official came up to toast him, he would sit upright, salute back, and encourage, but only a light drink, and stop at the order.
Cai Liancheng sat on his left side, but he was drinking one cup after another, and whoever toasted him did not refuse, Cai Xun reminded him to drink less several times, he just pretended not to hear it, and continued to drink.
Cai Xun saw that the banquet was almost over, so he retreated into the inner hall and went back to his small attic, and after walking for a while, he asked someone to pull Cai Liancheng away from the banquet.
When Cai Liancheng came to Cai Xun's small attic, Yun Zhen'er was also there, and as Cai Xun's concubine, she rarely showed up.
Cai Xun sat at the tea table, drinking tea, while pointing to the stool in front of the table, and motioned for Cai Liancheng to sit down. Cai Liancheng didn't look drunk at all, he sat down, he was not polite, he picked up the tea and drank it, wiped his mouth after drinking, and waited for Cai Xun to speak.
Cai Xun looked at him and asked, "Is the tea hot?"
"Hot!"
"And you're still drinking so fast?"
"Because I was thirsty. ”
Cai Xun smiled: "If you are thirsty, you don't even want to die, you must know that although the tea is good, it can also burn people." Cheng'er, you are very talented, but when will you be able to take away this quick temper?"
Cai Liancheng said: "The child just doesn't understand why my father wanted to join me first and let me be locked up in the prison for more than 20 days, and now he wants to hold a banquet in the mansion to celebrate my release from prison." ”
"Participating in you is a state affair, congratulating you is a family affair, the two are actually the same thing. Cai Xun took a sip of Chinese tea and replied patiently.
"That Qin Shiyao, as a messenger, has improper command, does not observe the situation, does not know the enemy's situation, and is even more timid as a mouse in battle, and is the main person responsible for causing the princess to be humiliated, why didn't he go to stay in that prison, but I was the one who protected the physical evidence of the crime, and was also punished by the court staff. The emperor's handling of this matter was unfair. Cai Liancheng said indignantly.
Cai Xun stood up, paced in the room for a while, and said: "Qin Shiyao is a patrol of salt, not a criminal investigation, it is not easy for him to do this matter, but it is you, as a waiter of the criminal department, you are led by the nose everywhere, causing the princess to be taken away, and almost losing her chastity, such a big crime, if it weren't for Pudu Cihang to speak for you, I'm afraid that it would not be in prison, but to go to the noon gate." ”
"The Holy Master speaks for me?"
"Pudu Cihang praises you for your great wisdom and bravery, not chaotic in the face of danger, loyal and brave as a minister, and courageous as a soldier. So I advise the emperor not to kill you, otherwise I won't be able to save you. Cai Xun said.
"But why did my father even join me?"
"The emperor is a strange man through the ages, he came out of the prince from a concubine with no power and no position, ascended to the throne step by step, and was in charge of the cadre platform for 35 years, and has his own unique views on people and things. I did this for my father, just to tell the emperor that our Cai Mansion was wrong!" Cai Xun said gently.
"Wrong, what's wrong?"
"Cheng'er, do you know the loneliness of the monarch?"
When Cai Liancheng heard this, he hurriedly said, "I don't know, and I don't dare to think about it." ”
