Chapter 52
This year is not destined to be peaceful for Nanze, and the beginning of everything is just a letter from Chenzhou.
The secret guard handed a secret letter to Gu Hanzhao respectfully, but Gu Hanzhao took it but did not open it immediately.In the past three years, he has made a lot of plans just for today, but when he really made up his mind to do it, he will inevitably still be a little worried, and Zhao Zhanyu is the first to bear the brunt of his worries.
The secret guard has been with him for many years, so he naturally understands his troubles and entanglements, so he couldn't help saying: "You don't have to worry, this is Zhao Rujin's own fault." Gu Hanzhao frowned and sighed: "I don't know. What will happen to Zheyu when he hears the news?" Gu Hanzhao would not be worried about Zhao Rujin's life or death, but it was Zhao Zhanyu who really hesitated so far.
Gu Hanzhao pulled out the secret letter, read it quickly at a glance, and then burned it on the candle. Seeing that the dark guard was still standing there, he suddenly asked, "Is the fan I ordered ready?"
"It will take a few more days." The dark guard replied.
Gu Hanzhao nodded, told the secret guard to pay attention to Su Li's movements and Zui Jinzhao's affairs, and then made him retreat.
After a few days, the news from Chenzhou came back to Beijing, Zhao Zheyu listened to the words of the servants of the Zhao family, only a daze remained on his face.If it is said that there is hatred, but Zhao Rujin has lived in Chenzhou for several years without incident, and Zhao Zhanyu never expected to be surprised to hear the news of the other party's death under such circumstances.
"The master asked the second young master to go back to the mansion." The servant secretly glanced at Gu Hanzhao who was at the side, and said cautiously.Zhao Chong's original words were not so polite, but bluntly asked himself to relay to the other party the sentence "Let that unfilial son come back".Zhao Chong dared to say this, but the servant did not dare to convey it truthfully, masters are always like this, they speak easily, but they have no scruples about the embarrassment of the subordinates.
What's going on in the Zhao family now, even their subordinates can see clearly. As far as Zhao Rujin's past actions were concerned, Zhao Jianyu didn't pursue his rudeness. The tone of the command was simply overpowering.
Zhao Chong's temperament is like this, he is like a grass on the fence outside, whoever takes power will fall on him without hesitation, but such a person is unambiguous at home, if Zhao Zheyu dares to disobey, he will be crowned on the charge of unfilial piety.
"I see." Zhao Jianyu said lightly, the servant didn't expect that he would only get such an answer, but seeing Zhao Jianyu's face, he didn't dare to say anything more.
Gu Hanzhao ordered someone to dismiss the servant of the Zhao family who was hesitant to speak, and then pulled Zhao Zhanyu aside to sit down. Seeing his empty eyes, he said worriedly: "Zhao Rujin was beaten to death by accident because of jealousy. His family cleared up the relationship and was only sentenced to exile, but he escaped the death penalty."
"This can be regarded as retribution." Zhao Jianyu sighed. Naturally, he would not be sad because of Zhao Rujin's death. Zhao Rujin had been incompatible with him since he was a child.Although Zhao Zheyu is a doctor, he would not waste his kindness on these places, let alone Zhao Rujin's own fault.
It's just that I was a little dazed when I first heard the news of Zhao Rujin's death.It stands to reason that he is a doctor and has seen through life and death, but Zhao Rujin is connected with him by blood after all, even though this relative is not as good as a stranger.
"It's just that I didn't expect him to die like this." Zhao Jianyu was neither happy nor sad, only sighed.But even if there is no emotion, the Zhao family still wants to go back because of emotion and reason.
"I'll go back with you." Gu Hanzhao said worriedly, the Zhao family didn't have fuel-efficient lamps, especially Dr. Zhao, Zhao Chong might not be too embarrassing for Zhao Zheyu for the sake of face and fear of himself.As for Zhao Wuxia, she was cold by nature, and she might not frown even if her biological parents died.So Mrs. Zhao is the only one left. She has just lost her beloved son, and she has never been used to Zhao Jianyu, so it is hard to guarantee that she will not vent her anger on him.
Zhao Zheyu shook his head, said with a faint smile, "No need, I can't rely on you for everything." All along, Gu Hanzhao has protected himself so well that he almost forgot the humiliation he suffered in the Zhao family.
Zhao Zheyu hugged Gu Hanzhao back, suppressing the palpitations in his heart, once the fight for storage started, there would be no turning back, and he had to work hard to be the opponent's help instead of a burden!
Zhao Rujin was a sinner and was exiled to Chenzhou for murder. Besides, he died disgracefully. He was beaten to death with others because of jealousy over a kiln sister.Reminiscent of how Zhao Rujin was exiled to Chenzhou because she accidentally killed a kiln sister, everyone who knew about it sighed that reincarnation is a retribution, and the retribution is not good.
Even if the Zhao family set up a mourning hall for people with such bad deeds, there are only a few people who come to the door.
Zhao Chongzheng was sitting in front of the hall, looking dully at the ground, but he hadn't seen him for a few months, his temples had already turned gray, and he looked as if he had aged more than ten years.Mrs. Zhao sat beside him. Although she tried her best to maintain that graceful appearance, she looked haggard and older no matter what.She kept pressing the corners of her eyes with the white handkerchief in her hand, and her eyes were also red and swollen. I'm afraid she hasn't stopped crying in the past few days.As for Zhao Wuxia, because she is a woman, she did not appear in the hall, and Zhao Chong's eldest son is already in Chenzhou to deal with Zhao Rujin's funeral and the mess he left behind. Touch this mold.
Zhao Zheyu looked at Zhao Chong quietly, worried about being dragged down by the clansmen after the Zhao family made a fortune, Zhao Chong moved out the tablet of his parents.At that time, I'm afraid he didn't expect that he would have what he is today. He was devoted to clinging to the fifth prince and his mother's family. In the end, people only regarded him as a pawn that could be discarded at will, and Zhao Rujin didn't even ask a question after his death.
"Come back and burn incense sticks for your brother." Zhao Chong said calmly, having lost his former prestige, Zhao Jianyu stepped forward to light incense sticks for Zhao Rujin without saying a word.
After seeing Zhao Zheyu offering incense, Zhao Chongcai showed his true colors, and ordered in a tone that made Zhao Zheyu astonished: "Rujin is also your brother no matter what, you ask Zhenyuanhou to help him avenge him!"
Zhao Zheyu looked at Zhao Chong in surprise, as if he was looking at a stranger, not to mention that Zhao Rujin's death was his own fault, but even if Gu Hanzhao's situation in the court was not much better than that of the Zhao family, Zhao Chong could still speak up. Such an impertinent request!
Zhao Zheyu suppressed the anger that was about to burst out, and said word by word: "Zhao Rujin's death is his own fault, and I will not let Han Zhao avenge him!"
"You! You rebellious son!" Zhao Chong has always said the same in the Zhao family, but Zhao Zhanyu refused so bluntly, and felt that he had lost face, so he pointed at him and yelled.
If Zhao Chong just insulted him a few words loudly, Mrs. Zhao would not have so many scruples.She already thought that Zhao Zhanyu was not pleasing to her eyes, and now that she lost her beloved son, she thought that if Zhao Zhanyu made a move today, she would forgive him for leaving home privately and relying on Lu's mother's imperial title to suppress her promise of marriage.But she never imagined that this cowardly bastard, who dared not make a sound even when being bullied, would reject her request straight away.
"You bastard!" Zhao Chong just scolded him for the sake of saving face, but Mrs. Zhao rushed forward like a madman, raised her hand and slapped him.
Zhao Zheyu's face was slapped to one side, Zhao Chong just watched with cold eyes when he saw this, Mrs. Zhao seemed not relieved, raised her hand and slapped again, but unfortunately she didn't get what she wanted this time.Zhao Zheyu stretched out his hand to catch her second slap, and looked at Mrs. Zhao with cold eyes. He didn't check the first slap for a while, and he would never let Mrs. Zhao succeed again.
Mrs. Zhao was startled, and only now did she realize that Zhao Zheyu was no longer the concubine that she could control. Mrs. Zhao dared to slap that slap only because of her identity as the mistress of the Zhao family. After all, Zhao Zheyu was an adult man, even if Mrs. Zhao No matter how fierce he is, he is no match for him.Zhao Zheyu took a step back and let go of the opponent's hand, not wanting to entangle her any more.
Mrs. Zhao thought of Zhao Rujin, suppressed the fear in her heart, and insisted: "If the Zhao family hadn't raised you for 20 years, how would you be where you are today! You must repay this kindness!"
Seeing Mrs. Zhao's fangs and claws, Zhao Zhanyu almost laughed out loud. He went out with his grandfather after his mother passed away. Since then, he has never used the Zhao family's money. After learning medical skills, he is self-reliant. Madame actually has the face to mention this matter.
Zhao Chong didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end, even though he knew that Zhao Zheyu's today had nothing to do with the Zhao family, he didn't say anything to interrupt.In his eyes, Zhao Zhanyu is already "splashed water", and he doesn't care about his son who can't bring him substantial benefits.
Looking at their aggressive appearance, Zhao Zhanyu just thought it was ridiculous, and he had to explain this truth to reasonable people, but what the Zhao family lacked most was such people.Zhao Zheyu glanced coldly at Zhao Chong and Mrs. Zhao, took a step back and said coldly: "I don't care about this matter, and neither does Zhenyuanhou. Since mother doesn't want to see me, I'll go back to my room." After finishing speaking, Then he left the inner hall.
"This! This!" Mrs. Zhao pointed at Zhao Zhanyu, who flung her sleeves away with her trembling fingertips, and looked at Zhao Chong, who also had a livid face.
Zhao Chong's eyes were full of mischief. Seeing that Zhao Zheyu had left, he vented his anger on Mrs. Zhao and scolded: "Shut up!" Throwing it to the ground, Mrs. Zhao was jumped and dared not say any more.
The teacup shattered into pieces, and the tea splashed all over the floor. Zhao Chong took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress his anger, and said gloomyly: "Zhao Jianyu can't go here, I will go to see the fifth prince, Rujin You can't die in vain!" He has lost a son, if Zhao Rujin is used to revive the Zhao family, this son will be regarded as a worthy death.
"Yes! Yes!" Mrs. Zhao didn't know what Zhao Chong was thinking, she wiped her tears and said in agreement, "Ru Jin must not die in vain, I will definitely let the murderer be buried with Ru Jin!"
Chapter Three in One
Zhao Chong didn't waste any more time, and immediately ordered his servants to prepare sedan chairs and rush to the Fifth Prince's Mansion.
The fifth prince is also as big as a fight now. He abandoned the Zhao family in order to appease Jin Ronghou's anger, and stopped Zhao Chong from continuing to investigate for the sake of Zhou Ying's boudoir reputation.Because of this, he promised the Zhao family to protect Zhao Rujin's well-being in Chenzhou, but he didn't expect that Zhao Rujin was such a useless person, and finally lost his life because of jealousy!
"Your Highness, Zhao Shilang begs to see you." Seeing a servant from the mansion coming to report, the fifth prince waved it back irritably, and when the servant retreated outside the door, he called him back and asked, "Is Wei Lin in the mansion? "
"Young Master Wei is not in the mansion." The servant replied respectfully, the fifth prince thought it was a pity, if Wei Lin was still able to advise him, how should Zhao Chong be dismissed today.
"Forget it, you can bring Zhao Chong in." Hearing this, the servant quickly retreated and brought Zhao Chong into the room.
Zhao Chong tidied up his expression, and only walked into the room when a trace of sadness appeared on his face just right.Just after passing through the door, he knelt down in front of the fifth prince, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, you have to make the decision for me!"
The fifth prince, that is, Feng Sheng, gave a secret tut in his heart, and also showed a painful expression, stepped forward to help Zhao Chong up and said, "Zhao Shilang, what are you doing?" The two sides knew each other's temperament clearly, and They are all people who can't afford it early. Although they all know that the other party is just acting, they still work hard to cooperate with the acting.
"My son died unjustly!" Two lines of clear tears flowed from Zhao Chong's eyes, Feng Sheng's expression was startled, and he slightly avoided the other party's sight.
"Zhao Shilang, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that your son's death...is disgraceful." Feng Sheng showed a embarrassed expression, but he scolded Zhao Shilang all over his heart.
Zhao Chong was stunned, with a dark resentment on his face but he didn't dare to let Feng Sheng see the slightest difference, and continued: "Rujin is my youngest son, and he is usually the most favored at home, so he has a bad temper. I thought about exiling Chenzhou to let him Grinding my temper, I never imagined that it was a white-haired man who sent a black-haired man!"
Zhao Chong's words were ingenious, every word and every word clearly put aside the relationship between Zhao Rujin's death and Feng Sheng, but every word was inseparable from Feng Sheng.Feng Sheng was also a little annoyed immediately, Zhao Chong was accusing himself of exiling Zhao Rujin to Chenzhou, but judging from the situation at that time, if he hadn't dealt with it, how could Zhao Rujin continue to live happily in Chenzhou, I'm afraid he would die in less than a month In the bitter cold place in the northwest.
But how could Zhao Chong care about this, saying that it was Fengsheng who was exiled, and Chenzhou, the place of exile, was also his choice.Now Zhao Chong has long pressed Zhao Rujin's death on Feng Sheng's head in his heart.
Feng Sheng's eyes were gloomy, but it's a pity that Zhao Chongwu was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't notice anything.
"Zhao Shilang, I have my own concerns about this matter. Now that you have lost your youngest son, I will discuss this matter with my uncle. However, a few days ago, the Minister of the Ministry of War resigned and returned to his hometown due to old age and infirmity. I have a headache because of the choice of candidates, I'm afraid Rujin's affairs will be postponed." Feng Sheng first agreed, and then threw out the bait, he and Zhao Chong still need to maintain the superficial peace, it is really inappropriate to tear up the face now.The position of minister of the Ministry of War is enough to hang him for a while, and whether he can become minister of the Ministry of War depends on his own fortune.
Zhao Chong's eyes lit up, and the sad expression he was trying to maintain on his face was almost replaced by a chuckle. Fortunately, he didn't lose his mind, and quickly adjusted his expression, but there was a moment of ferocity on his face during the adjustment.
Seeing that he acted like this, Feng Sheng thought that he was using the right bait, and thought that it would be enough to appease the other party temporarily, and when the situation was settled in the future, it would be useless for the Zhao family to call Qu Qu.
Feng Sheng immediately relaxed his expression, and said in a warm voice: "Zhao Shilang don't need to worry, you go back first today, I think there will be news soon."
Zhao Chong nodded, knowing that the news Feng Sheng said must be about this position of minister, so Zhao Chong, who got the promise, naturally no longer entangled, and he had already forgotten about Zhao Rujin.
Feng Sheng watched Zhao Chong leave coldly, and then ordered someone to call for his confidant.
After Zhao Chong came back from the Fifth Prince's residence, Mrs. Zhao stepped forward immediately, with a rare eagerness on her face, she pulled Zhao Chong's sleeve and asked, "Fifth Prince is going to avenge Rujin ?"
Seeing her panicked appearance, Zhao Chong said a few words of comfort: "You don't have to worry about this matter, the fifth prince will make the decision for Rujin, what about Wuxia?"
Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Zhao Chong's mention of her daughter, and she felt rather blamed in her heart: "The child stayed in the room all the time, and even used lunch in the room. After all, she is also Rujin's older sister, It should be a stick of incense for Rujin."
Zhao Chong glared at her, Dr. Zhao was taken aback, swallowed those unspoken complaints abruptly, with an aggrieved expression on his face, and looked at Zhao Chong with tears in his eyes.
Zhao Chong rubbed his brows, after all, they were married for many years, and she just lost her beloved son and couldn't bear to criticize any more, so she just said: "You don't care about Wuxia." After speaking, he shook his sleeves and left, leaving nothing but Mrs. Zhao stayed where she was.
Compared with Zhao Rujin, the son who was causing trouble everywhere, Zhao Chong still loved Zhao Wuxia more, because among his children, Zhao Wuxia was the one who most resembled him in temperament.
And this daughter is much more useful than his incompetent sons, Zhao Chong ordered someone to summon Zhao Wuxia, and the two had a secret conversation in the study for a long time, even Mrs. Zhao was not allowed to approach.
"Father." Zhao Wuxia said calmly, Zhao Chong nodded, a rare smile appeared on his face, and his words were much gentler.
"Wuxia, let's do it." Zhao Chong pointed to the seat in front of him, saw her sitting down and said: "You should know that I went to see the Fifth Prince today."
Zhao Wuxia nodded, since Zhao Zheyu returned to the mansion, her personal servant girl would tell her everything that happened in the mansion, so she naturally knew that Zhao Chong went to the fifth prince because of Zhao Rujin's matter.
"The Fifth Prince has accepted my post as Minister of War." Zhao Chong said to his daughter with a look of greed in his eyes.Seeing this, Zhao Wuxia looked indifferent, and she didn't even think much of her parents. Seeing Zhao Chong's ugly expression was even more disgusting, and asked in a low voice, "Why?"
"Of course it's because of Rujin. Back then, the fifth prince agreed to protect Rujin in Chenzhou for his father. As a price, I would break off the engagement with Marquis Jin Rong and preserve Zhou Ying's reputation."
"Not enough." Zhao Wuxia shook his head. Although the expression on his face remained unchanged, his heart was full of contempt. Zhao Chong's move was simply deceiving himself.
At the beginning, the fifth prince easily agreed to Zhao Chong's protection of Zhao Rujin in Chenzhou as a stopgap measure. Jin Ronghou and the Zhao family would choose Jin Ronghou.And in order to prevent the situation from spreading to the public and affecting Zhou Ying's reputation, the Fifth Prince proposed such a condition, suppressing the Zhao family from resisting and hastily handling the case.
This move clearly abandoned the Zhao family, but the fifth prince looked forward and backward, wanting the support of Marquis Jin Rong and not losing the help of the Zhao family, so he hurriedly threw out the bait of the Minister of War to appease Zhao Chong first, and waited until the situation was over. Even if Zhao Chong is full of grievances and complaints, there is nothing he can do.
Zhao Wuxia sees this matter clearly, not because she is so intelligent, but because she understands people's hearts better than ordinary people.With Zhao Chong's ability, how could the fifth prince easily leave the position of Shangshu to Zhao Chong, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of War is such an important position, although he has no military power, he has the right to dispatch the guards of the entire Fengshouzhou. How could Zhao Chonglai take a share of what was left to his confidantes.
What's more, because of Zhao Rujin's matter before, the Zhao family had long been divorced from the fifth prince, and such an important seat would never be handed over to Zhao Chong.And Zhao Chong was only in the middle of the game, and he didn't see through his identity, so he had such an illusion!
Zhao Chong frowned, and said in doubt: "You mean that the fifth prince will not leave me the position of minister of the Ministry of War, but what he said clearly means that he has already promised this position to me!"
Zhao Wuxia sighed inwardly. Although his father had ambitions, he didn't have the corresponding ability. No wonder Ji Jiying had only climbed to the position of servant after so many years.
"Father, no matter whether the Fifth Prince promises you the title of Shangshu or not, you have to make two preparations." Zhao Wuxia looked up at Zhao Chong and said, "Do you still remember what Wuxia told you?"
Zhao Chong just woke up like a dream, and laughed loudly: "Yes! Yes! As long as you enter the palace, not to mention Queen Zhao's mother's family, even the Fifth Prince should be afraid. His Zhao family has daughters, and our Zhao family also has daughters. !" Zhao Chong laughed heartily as he looked at Zhao Wuxia's gorgeous face.
His daughter is not inferior to Empress Zhao. Once she enters the palace and wins the favor, even Uncle Zhao will not dare to underestimate her. If she is lucky enough to give birth to a prince, she can also compete for that seat!
"Father, my daughter hasn't entered the palace yet." Zhao Wuxia mercilessly pierced Zhao Chong's dream, as if she didn't see the other party's stiff expression, and continued: "Queen Zhao has ruled the harem for many years, and in this palace she must always say what she says, so Regardless of whether the Fifth Prince grants you the position of Shangshu, you must endure it!"
Zhao Chong hurriedly nodded and said, "It's only natural!"
On one side, Zhao's father and daughter discussed the countermeasures, and on the other side, Wei Lin was walking towards Gu's mansion alone.
It's just that when approaching Gu's mansion, Wei Linchao whispered to no one: "Come out!" After a few breaths, Yao Ye appeared from the corner of the street, with no embarrassment on his face at all.
"I should have told you, Yao Ye?" Wei Lin's lips were pale, and although his face was expressionless, Yao Ye knew that he was probably extremely angry at this moment.
"My lord, Yao Ye is only worried about your body." Yao Ye looked directly at Wei Lin, if other people would have been confused by her radiant gaze, but Wei Lin just snorted coldly in his heart, worried?I'm afraid it's for surveillance.
"Didn't you witness Lu Qing saving me that day? Are you still afraid that I will collude with Gu Hanzhao?" Yao Ye naturally sensed the coldness in Wei Lin's words. The word collusion is not so much a self-deprecating mocking her.
Yao Ye bit her lip, wondering: "Master, you should know that Yao Ye can't leave your side unless necessary."
Wei Lin frowned, the coldness in his eyes almost froze Yao Ye, before Yao Ye could defend himself, he suddenly clutched his chest and gasped for breath, Yao Ye was startled, panic appeared in his eyes, and immediately exclaimed: "Master!"
"Get out!" Wei Lin shouted with all his strength, but his weak voice made his prestige disappear.Yao Ye was stunned, with tears in his eyes, and said with difficulty: "Young master, if you want to be angry, you can get angry at Yao Ye, why bother to make things difficult for yourself!"
Wei Lin turned a deaf ear to it, and pushed Yao Ye away with his last bit of strength, while he staggered to leave.
Suppressing the tears in his eyes, Yao Ye finally said with difficulty: "My lord, you don't have to argue with Yao Ye, Yao Ye just obeys orders, I just hope that you can let Yao Ye send you outside the gate of Gu's residence."
Hearing this, Wei Lin no longer insisted on his own opinion, nodded weakly, and asked Yao Ye to help him outside Gu's mansion.
Since Zhao Jianyu came into the mansion, people often came to seek medical treatment. Zhao Jianyu was kind-hearted and had outstanding medical skills, so the concierge of Gu's mansion would not stop someone from coming.The concierge had been working in Gu's residence for some time, seeing Wei Lin's serious illness, he just thought that he came to seek medical treatment again.
Seeing that he looked like he was about to fall down at any time, his words were unconsciously polite, and he said in a gentle voice: "This young master came to find Mr. Zhao Zhanyu. My Mr. Zhao just returned to Zhao's residence yesterday. I'm afraid you It's going to be a waste of time."
Yao Ye heard the words and looked at Wei Lin, Wei Lin pursed his lips, forced a smile and said, "Is there a young man named Lu Qing in the house?"
The concierge was startled, he could never have imagined that this person was not looking for Zhao Jianyu or Gu Hanzhao, but Lu Qing.Seeing his appearance, the porter scratched his head, and said honestly: "There is one, but I don't know why the young master is looking for him?" Yu has learned some medical skills, which is different from ordinary servants.
"I was once rescued by him, so I came here to thank you. Lu Qing knew me when he saw me." The concierge heaved a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't come to make trouble, he immediately smiled and said: "The two of you, please stay here for a while." Wait for a while, I'll call Lu Qing out."
Yao Ye frowned when he heard the words: "Can you let my young master enter the mansion to wait?"
The concierge immediately understood Wei Lin's appearance at this time, but after all, he was only a servant in the mansion, and he really didn't dare to make a claim, not to mention that Gu Hanzhao and Zhao Jianyu were not in the mansion today, and Lu Mu was the only one left at home. The female relatives and the six-year-old Gu Mingchen are really not suitable for seeing guests.
"What are you doing standing outside the door?" The porter's eyes lit up when he heard the familiar voice, seeing that it was Gu Hanzhao returning home, he was relieved, and hurriedly told the truth.
Gu Hanzhao didn't think too much about it, but Wei Lin and Yao Ye's appearance and temperament were really not like ordinary people, so it was inevitable that they were a little bit more concerned.But seeing Wei Lin's frail appearance didn't make him continue to wait outside the door, so he invited the two of them into the mansion.
Yao Ye supported Wei Lin, and wanted to help him into the mansion, but saw that Wei Lin just stood there, showing no intention of leaving.Gu Hanzhao, who was leading the way, turned his head suspiciously. Seeing that their master and servant hadn't followed and was about to ask questions, Wei Lin said to Yao Ye: "Go back first."
Yao Ye bit her lip, the grievance in her eyes made the concierge feel pity, but unfortunately, the master turned a deaf ear, showing no intention of pity, and reprimanded: "Have you forgotten what you said before!"
Seeing that Wei Lin was about to get angry again, Yaoye suppressed the fear and worry in his heart, and said sadly, "Yaoye will wait outside the mansion."
"Up to you!" After Wei Lin finished speaking, he broke away from Yao Ye's hand, and walked away quickly without looking back.
Gu Hanzhao only had Zhao Zheyu in his heart, no matter how beautiful Yao Ye was, he was just a woman with a dry face in his eyes, not to mention that he had no intention of getting involved in the affairs of their master and servant, so naturally he would not speak for Yao Ye.The concierge wanted to speak for Yao Ye, but it's a pity that he was a small concierge, so he didn't have room to comment on this matter.
When Wei Lin followed Gu Hanzhao into Gu's mansion, the concierge shyly approached Yao Ye and said, "If girl is tired, you can wait in the tea shed in front."
Yao Ye had just been rejected by Wei Lin, and now he was angry, when he saw the concierge's obsequious face, he immediately turned and left.Seeing this, the concierge couldn't help but scratched his head, this girl is as beautiful as she is beautiful, but her temper is too bad, she just asked casually and threw up her sleeves and left.
Gu Hanzhao brought Wei Lin into the mansion, and ordered someone to call Lu Qing. Zhao Zheyu was not in the mansion for a few days, so Lu Qing took over Zhao Zheyu's job to take care of the pharmacy. He heard that a young master named Wei Lin came to look for him. Just feel full of doubts.
When he saw Wei, he remembered that the person in front of him was Mr. Wei who fainted in the grass that day. Seeing that the two really knew each other, Gu Hanzhao left without hesitation.
"Thank you so much that day. I've been wanting to come to thank you all the time. Unfortunately, I was so busy with mundane affairs that I didn't have time until today." Wei Lin's eyes were full of sincerity. How come today.Anyone with a certain mind will doubt the intention of the other party's trip.
It's a pity that Lu Qing's temperament is simple, and he doesn't have any scheming. Seeing that the other party said that he didn't come to visit because of trivial matters, he didn't doubt it. What's more, when he saved people, he never had the intention of asking the other party to repay his favor, so he naturally wouldn't think about it. .
And even if Gu Hanzhao was thinking about it, he would not ask any more questions when he saw that Lu Qing knew this person, and from Wei Lin's appearance, he really looked like he needed medical treatment.
The two sat down and talked for a while, and what they said was nothing more than words of thanks. Lu Qing just sat on the side and smiled shyly when he heard this.
Wei Lin originally wanted to go to the Gu mansion to discuss with Gu Hanzhao through his chance encounter with Lu Qing, but changed his mind the moment Lu Qing came in.The two were polite, and Wei Lin finally asked out the doubts in his heart: "I smell a faint fragrance on you." Lu Qing was startled, he didn't expect the other party to change the topic so quickly.
But he didn't have any defenses, he just thought that the other party was suspicious of the scent of medicine on his body, so he handed a sachet hanging on his waist to the other party, and asked, "Is this the smell you're talking about?"
Wei Lin took the sachet and took a deep breath, and opened his eyes slowly when the fragrance filled his nasal cavity, and said in surprise, "I wonder who prepared the spices in this sachet?"
"It's my son." Lu Qing replied truthfully.
Hearing this, Wei Lin was surprised and said, "It's Lord Hou? Lord Hou can also arrange spices."
Lu Qing smiled and said: "Of course not, it's Mr. Zhao from my family." When Lu Qing mentioned Zhao Zhanyu, his face could not help but put on the color of admiration: "My Mr. Zhao's medical skills are outstanding, some weak people are not suitable for recuperating with medicine , Young Master started with this spice, mixed with various medicinal materials or incense or bathed, sometimes it is more effective than drinking medicine directly!"
Wei Lin saw him showing such an expression, he looked like a pure child, he didn't feel it was ridiculous, but thought his temperament was very cute.
Wei Lin took out the sachet from his arms and handed it to Lu Qing, saying, "No wonder you knew what I meant when you saw me holding the sachet that day. If someone else might not have thought that this sachet is a good medicine for healing and saving lives."
When Lu Qing saw that the other party praised him, he felt his cheeks were slightly red, and quickly waved his hands and said, "It's my son who is amazing."
Seeing this, Wei Lin chuckled, picked up Lu Qing's sachet and sniffed it at the tip of his nose, but his heart was already full of twists and turns.The son who lives in Zhenyuanhou's mansion and whose surname is Zhao is well known to be Zhao Zangyu, and Zhao Zangyu is Zhao Wuxia's younger brother.Thinking about it, Zhao Wuxia really lied when Baidi Poetry Review that day, Leng Tan is probably the work of Zhao Jianyu.
It's no wonder that I haven't found that person after searching for a long time. I didn't expect that it was Zhao Wuxia who made a hindrance. All the beautiful women and jade Wuxia are people who are trying to gain fame.
"I don't know if your son is in the mansion." Seeing Wei Lin's appearance, Lu Qing knew that the other party wanted Zhao Jianyu to treat him, so why not: "Your master just returned to Zhao's mansion yesterday, and he is not in the mansion now."
Seeing Wei Lin's disappointed eyes, Lu Qing couldn't bear it either. Looking at Wei Lin's appearance, he knew that he must have been suffering from this disease for many years, so he couldn't help but ask: "If Mr. Wei doesn't mind, can you let me treat you?"
Wei Lin raised his head in surprise, Lu Qing misunderstood the meaning in his eyes, only thought that the other party did not trust his medical skills, and hurriedly explained: "Don't look at me like this, in fact, I have been practicing medicine with you for six years, although my medical skills are not as good as yours. Superb, but still able to diagnose some."
"That's not what I meant." Wei Lin looked flustered, and quickly explained when Lu Qing misunderstood.
Seeing his nervousness, Lu Qing touched his nose with his hand and smiled, "I was joking with you."
Wei Lin sighed and shook his head, and stretched out his hand to Lu Qing's eyes.Seeing this, Lu Qing also put away his joking thoughts, and stretched out his hand to take Wei Lin's pulse carefully.
After a while, he relaxed his frown and asked: "Did you bring this disease from your mother's womb?" Wei Lin nodded and replied: "Indeed." Anyone with a brush can see that his disease was brought from the mother's womb.But there was no one who could heal him, until he met a person who also likes to use medicinal materials and mix spices to cure diseases and save people. It can be seen that Zhao Zheyu's skills in mixing spices are in the same line as his, but that person is older than Zhao Zheyu. Concealing Yu is much bigger.
"Your body contains slight poisons and toxins, like the herbs your mother drank to protect the fetus, but it is mixed with other toxins and toxins, which is very complicated." Lu Qing hesitated for a moment before telling the truth.
Wei Lin's heart was shocked, and he replied: "Indeed." When his mother was framed by someone, she accidentally drank abortion pills, and then she drank a lot of abortion pills to save him.These medicinal materials were not poisonous in the first place, but those people were jealous of their mother, and even when they failed to plan, they repeatedly poisoned him. Although his mother gave birth to him by a narrow margin, he survived only two years in the end, and he also brought a whole body with him. poison.
If it wasn't for the mother's natal family who did their best to protect him back then, I'm afraid he would have turned into an underground ghost to accompany his mother.
Lu Qing looked into his calm eyes, and swallowed the comfort he had blurted out.This poison is not something very people can bear, not to mention that his poison has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and there is no possibility of healing.Moreover, when the poison occurs, he must endure the pain of gouging out the heart and cutting the flesh. Lu Qing really can't imagine how this person can bear this pain.But this person has survived. For such a determined person, these empty comforts are of no use to him.
Seeing the worry on his face, Wei Lin tried to persuade him, "I've already gotten used to this poison, it means that after [-] to [-] days, the pain will be severe, and it will kill me."
Lu Qing shook his head when he heard the words, remembering the first time he saw him, the man curled up in the grass, even though he was sweating all over his body afterwards, he would still thank him politely.What a doctor hates the most is this moment of powerlessness, but Lu Qing is thinking at this time, even if he is not good at learning and cannot save Wei Lin, there is still Zhao Jianyu. Zhao Zheyu's grandfather who wandered around.
"I can't help you because I'm not good at learning, but I think you must have a way!" Lu Qing hurriedly said: "When he comes back from Zhao's residence in a few days, I will ask him to treat you carefully. The medicine will be cured soon!"
Wei Lin didn't speak when he heard the words, but just smiled lightly. Seeing him like this, Lu Qing only thought he agreed, and a smile appeared on his face immediately.When Wei Lin saw him, he just sighed in his heart. He also wished countless times that he would not suffer such heart-wrenching pain, but each time the hope was accompanied by deeper and deeper despair.
While Wei Lin was talking with Lu Qing, Gu Hanzhao also got news from the dark guard.
"Are you sure?" Gu Hanzhao frowned and asked the guard standing behind him respectfully, full of doubts in his heart.
The hidden guard nodded and replied: "Indeed, I have seen him in the fifth prince's residence."
Hearing this, Gu Hanzhao felt a little uneasiness in his heart. At first he thought it was a simple repayment of kindness as Lu Qing said, but he couldn't think of the hidden secret!
"The fifth prince really obeys what he says?" Gu Hanzhao asked carefully.
"Yes!" The dark guard also frowned, he didn't expect to see Wei Lin in the mansion when he reported Su Li's matter to Gu Hanzhao today.But at the same time, he was also very fortunate that if Gu Hanzhao didn't know Wei Lin, it's still unknown what kind of trap he would fall into.
"Wei Lin, Wei Lin..." Gu Hanzhao only felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it. He could only calm down and peel it off carefully.
It shouldn't be the past life, Gu Hanzhao first ruled out the past life, the self in the past life didn't care about the affairs of the court at all, so the word Wei Lin himself can only be in this life
The secret guard handed a secret letter to Gu Hanzhao respectfully, but Gu Hanzhao took it but did not open it immediately.In the past three years, he has made a lot of plans just for today, but when he really made up his mind to do it, he will inevitably still be a little worried, and Zhao Zhanyu is the first to bear the brunt of his worries.
The secret guard has been with him for many years, so he naturally understands his troubles and entanglements, so he couldn't help saying: "You don't have to worry, this is Zhao Rujin's own fault." Gu Hanzhao frowned and sighed: "I don't know. What will happen to Zheyu when he hears the news?" Gu Hanzhao would not be worried about Zhao Rujin's life or death, but it was Zhao Zhanyu who really hesitated so far.
Gu Hanzhao pulled out the secret letter, read it quickly at a glance, and then burned it on the candle. Seeing that the dark guard was still standing there, he suddenly asked, "Is the fan I ordered ready?"
"It will take a few more days." The dark guard replied.
Gu Hanzhao nodded, told the secret guard to pay attention to Su Li's movements and Zui Jinzhao's affairs, and then made him retreat.
After a few days, the news from Chenzhou came back to Beijing, Zhao Zheyu listened to the words of the servants of the Zhao family, only a daze remained on his face.If it is said that there is hatred, but Zhao Rujin has lived in Chenzhou for several years without incident, and Zhao Zhanyu never expected to be surprised to hear the news of the other party's death under such circumstances.
"The master asked the second young master to go back to the mansion." The servant secretly glanced at Gu Hanzhao who was at the side, and said cautiously.Zhao Chong's original words were not so polite, but bluntly asked himself to relay to the other party the sentence "Let that unfilial son come back".Zhao Chong dared to say this, but the servant did not dare to convey it truthfully, masters are always like this, they speak easily, but they have no scruples about the embarrassment of the subordinates.
What's going on in the Zhao family now, even their subordinates can see clearly. As far as Zhao Rujin's past actions were concerned, Zhao Jianyu didn't pursue his rudeness. The tone of the command was simply overpowering.
Zhao Chong's temperament is like this, he is like a grass on the fence outside, whoever takes power will fall on him without hesitation, but such a person is unambiguous at home, if Zhao Zheyu dares to disobey, he will be crowned on the charge of unfilial piety.
"I see." Zhao Jianyu said lightly, the servant didn't expect that he would only get such an answer, but seeing Zhao Jianyu's face, he didn't dare to say anything more.
Gu Hanzhao ordered someone to dismiss the servant of the Zhao family who was hesitant to speak, and then pulled Zhao Zhanyu aside to sit down. Seeing his empty eyes, he said worriedly: "Zhao Rujin was beaten to death by accident because of jealousy. His family cleared up the relationship and was only sentenced to exile, but he escaped the death penalty."
"This can be regarded as retribution." Zhao Jianyu sighed. Naturally, he would not be sad because of Zhao Rujin's death. Zhao Rujin had been incompatible with him since he was a child.Although Zhao Zheyu is a doctor, he would not waste his kindness on these places, let alone Zhao Rujin's own fault.
It's just that I was a little dazed when I first heard the news of Zhao Rujin's death.It stands to reason that he is a doctor and has seen through life and death, but Zhao Rujin is connected with him by blood after all, even though this relative is not as good as a stranger.
"It's just that I didn't expect him to die like this." Zhao Jianyu was neither happy nor sad, only sighed.But even if there is no emotion, the Zhao family still wants to go back because of emotion and reason.
"I'll go back with you." Gu Hanzhao said worriedly, the Zhao family didn't have fuel-efficient lamps, especially Dr. Zhao, Zhao Chong might not be too embarrassing for Zhao Zheyu for the sake of face and fear of himself.As for Zhao Wuxia, she was cold by nature, and she might not frown even if her biological parents died.So Mrs. Zhao is the only one left. She has just lost her beloved son, and she has never been used to Zhao Jianyu, so it is hard to guarantee that she will not vent her anger on him.
Zhao Zheyu shook his head, said with a faint smile, "No need, I can't rely on you for everything." All along, Gu Hanzhao has protected himself so well that he almost forgot the humiliation he suffered in the Zhao family.
Zhao Zheyu hugged Gu Hanzhao back, suppressing the palpitations in his heart, once the fight for storage started, there would be no turning back, and he had to work hard to be the opponent's help instead of a burden!
Zhao Rujin was a sinner and was exiled to Chenzhou for murder. Besides, he died disgracefully. He was beaten to death with others because of jealousy over a kiln sister.Reminiscent of how Zhao Rujin was exiled to Chenzhou because she accidentally killed a kiln sister, everyone who knew about it sighed that reincarnation is a retribution, and the retribution is not good.
Even if the Zhao family set up a mourning hall for people with such bad deeds, there are only a few people who come to the door.
Zhao Chongzheng was sitting in front of the hall, looking dully at the ground, but he hadn't seen him for a few months, his temples had already turned gray, and he looked as if he had aged more than ten years.Mrs. Zhao sat beside him. Although she tried her best to maintain that graceful appearance, she looked haggard and older no matter what.She kept pressing the corners of her eyes with the white handkerchief in her hand, and her eyes were also red and swollen. I'm afraid she hasn't stopped crying in the past few days.As for Zhao Wuxia, because she is a woman, she did not appear in the hall, and Zhao Chong's eldest son is already in Chenzhou to deal with Zhao Rujin's funeral and the mess he left behind. Touch this mold.
Zhao Zheyu looked at Zhao Chong quietly, worried about being dragged down by the clansmen after the Zhao family made a fortune, Zhao Chong moved out the tablet of his parents.At that time, I'm afraid he didn't expect that he would have what he is today. He was devoted to clinging to the fifth prince and his mother's family. In the end, people only regarded him as a pawn that could be discarded at will, and Zhao Rujin didn't even ask a question after his death.
"Come back and burn incense sticks for your brother." Zhao Chong said calmly, having lost his former prestige, Zhao Jianyu stepped forward to light incense sticks for Zhao Rujin without saying a word.
After seeing Zhao Zheyu offering incense, Zhao Chongcai showed his true colors, and ordered in a tone that made Zhao Zheyu astonished: "Rujin is also your brother no matter what, you ask Zhenyuanhou to help him avenge him!"
Zhao Zheyu looked at Zhao Chong in surprise, as if he was looking at a stranger, not to mention that Zhao Rujin's death was his own fault, but even if Gu Hanzhao's situation in the court was not much better than that of the Zhao family, Zhao Chong could still speak up. Such an impertinent request!
Zhao Zheyu suppressed the anger that was about to burst out, and said word by word: "Zhao Rujin's death is his own fault, and I will not let Han Zhao avenge him!"
"You! You rebellious son!" Zhao Chong has always said the same in the Zhao family, but Zhao Zhanyu refused so bluntly, and felt that he had lost face, so he pointed at him and yelled.
If Zhao Chong just insulted him a few words loudly, Mrs. Zhao would not have so many scruples.She already thought that Zhao Zhanyu was not pleasing to her eyes, and now that she lost her beloved son, she thought that if Zhao Zhanyu made a move today, she would forgive him for leaving home privately and relying on Lu's mother's imperial title to suppress her promise of marriage.But she never imagined that this cowardly bastard, who dared not make a sound even when being bullied, would reject her request straight away.
"You bastard!" Zhao Chong just scolded him for the sake of saving face, but Mrs. Zhao rushed forward like a madman, raised her hand and slapped him.
Zhao Zheyu's face was slapped to one side, Zhao Chong just watched with cold eyes when he saw this, Mrs. Zhao seemed not relieved, raised her hand and slapped again, but unfortunately she didn't get what she wanted this time.Zhao Zheyu stretched out his hand to catch her second slap, and looked at Mrs. Zhao with cold eyes. He didn't check the first slap for a while, and he would never let Mrs. Zhao succeed again.
Mrs. Zhao was startled, and only now did she realize that Zhao Zheyu was no longer the concubine that she could control. Mrs. Zhao dared to slap that slap only because of her identity as the mistress of the Zhao family. After all, Zhao Zheyu was an adult man, even if Mrs. Zhao No matter how fierce he is, he is no match for him.Zhao Zheyu took a step back and let go of the opponent's hand, not wanting to entangle her any more.
Mrs. Zhao thought of Zhao Rujin, suppressed the fear in her heart, and insisted: "If the Zhao family hadn't raised you for 20 years, how would you be where you are today! You must repay this kindness!"
Seeing Mrs. Zhao's fangs and claws, Zhao Zhanyu almost laughed out loud. He went out with his grandfather after his mother passed away. Since then, he has never used the Zhao family's money. After learning medical skills, he is self-reliant. Madame actually has the face to mention this matter.
Zhao Chong didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end, even though he knew that Zhao Zheyu's today had nothing to do with the Zhao family, he didn't say anything to interrupt.In his eyes, Zhao Zhanyu is already "splashed water", and he doesn't care about his son who can't bring him substantial benefits.
Looking at their aggressive appearance, Zhao Zhanyu just thought it was ridiculous, and he had to explain this truth to reasonable people, but what the Zhao family lacked most was such people.Zhao Zheyu glanced coldly at Zhao Chong and Mrs. Zhao, took a step back and said coldly: "I don't care about this matter, and neither does Zhenyuanhou. Since mother doesn't want to see me, I'll go back to my room." After finishing speaking, Then he left the inner hall.
"This! This!" Mrs. Zhao pointed at Zhao Zhanyu, who flung her sleeves away with her trembling fingertips, and looked at Zhao Chong, who also had a livid face.
Zhao Chong's eyes were full of mischief. Seeing that Zhao Zheyu had left, he vented his anger on Mrs. Zhao and scolded: "Shut up!" Throwing it to the ground, Mrs. Zhao was jumped and dared not say any more.
The teacup shattered into pieces, and the tea splashed all over the floor. Zhao Chong took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress his anger, and said gloomyly: "Zhao Jianyu can't go here, I will go to see the fifth prince, Rujin You can't die in vain!" He has lost a son, if Zhao Rujin is used to revive the Zhao family, this son will be regarded as a worthy death.
"Yes! Yes!" Mrs. Zhao didn't know what Zhao Chong was thinking, she wiped her tears and said in agreement, "Ru Jin must not die in vain, I will definitely let the murderer be buried with Ru Jin!"
Chapter Three in One
Zhao Chong didn't waste any more time, and immediately ordered his servants to prepare sedan chairs and rush to the Fifth Prince's Mansion.
The fifth prince is also as big as a fight now. He abandoned the Zhao family in order to appease Jin Ronghou's anger, and stopped Zhao Chong from continuing to investigate for the sake of Zhou Ying's boudoir reputation.Because of this, he promised the Zhao family to protect Zhao Rujin's well-being in Chenzhou, but he didn't expect that Zhao Rujin was such a useless person, and finally lost his life because of jealousy!
"Your Highness, Zhao Shilang begs to see you." Seeing a servant from the mansion coming to report, the fifth prince waved it back irritably, and when the servant retreated outside the door, he called him back and asked, "Is Wei Lin in the mansion? "
"Young Master Wei is not in the mansion." The servant replied respectfully, the fifth prince thought it was a pity, if Wei Lin was still able to advise him, how should Zhao Chong be dismissed today.
"Forget it, you can bring Zhao Chong in." Hearing this, the servant quickly retreated and brought Zhao Chong into the room.
Zhao Chong tidied up his expression, and only walked into the room when a trace of sadness appeared on his face just right.Just after passing through the door, he knelt down in front of the fifth prince, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, you have to make the decision for me!"
The fifth prince, that is, Feng Sheng, gave a secret tut in his heart, and also showed a painful expression, stepped forward to help Zhao Chong up and said, "Zhao Shilang, what are you doing?" The two sides knew each other's temperament clearly, and They are all people who can't afford it early. Although they all know that the other party is just acting, they still work hard to cooperate with the acting.
"My son died unjustly!" Two lines of clear tears flowed from Zhao Chong's eyes, Feng Sheng's expression was startled, and he slightly avoided the other party's sight.
"Zhao Shilang, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that your son's death...is disgraceful." Feng Sheng showed a embarrassed expression, but he scolded Zhao Shilang all over his heart.
Zhao Chong was stunned, with a dark resentment on his face but he didn't dare to let Feng Sheng see the slightest difference, and continued: "Rujin is my youngest son, and he is usually the most favored at home, so he has a bad temper. I thought about exiling Chenzhou to let him Grinding my temper, I never imagined that it was a white-haired man who sent a black-haired man!"
Zhao Chong's words were ingenious, every word and every word clearly put aside the relationship between Zhao Rujin's death and Feng Sheng, but every word was inseparable from Feng Sheng.Feng Sheng was also a little annoyed immediately, Zhao Chong was accusing himself of exiling Zhao Rujin to Chenzhou, but judging from the situation at that time, if he hadn't dealt with it, how could Zhao Rujin continue to live happily in Chenzhou, I'm afraid he would die in less than a month In the bitter cold place in the northwest.
But how could Zhao Chong care about this, saying that it was Fengsheng who was exiled, and Chenzhou, the place of exile, was also his choice.Now Zhao Chong has long pressed Zhao Rujin's death on Feng Sheng's head in his heart.
Feng Sheng's eyes were gloomy, but it's a pity that Zhao Chongwu was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't notice anything.
"Zhao Shilang, I have my own concerns about this matter. Now that you have lost your youngest son, I will discuss this matter with my uncle. However, a few days ago, the Minister of the Ministry of War resigned and returned to his hometown due to old age and infirmity. I have a headache because of the choice of candidates, I'm afraid Rujin's affairs will be postponed." Feng Sheng first agreed, and then threw out the bait, he and Zhao Chong still need to maintain the superficial peace, it is really inappropriate to tear up the face now.The position of minister of the Ministry of War is enough to hang him for a while, and whether he can become minister of the Ministry of War depends on his own fortune.
Zhao Chong's eyes lit up, and the sad expression he was trying to maintain on his face was almost replaced by a chuckle. Fortunately, he didn't lose his mind, and quickly adjusted his expression, but there was a moment of ferocity on his face during the adjustment.
Seeing that he acted like this, Feng Sheng thought that he was using the right bait, and thought that it would be enough to appease the other party temporarily, and when the situation was settled in the future, it would be useless for the Zhao family to call Qu Qu.
Feng Sheng immediately relaxed his expression, and said in a warm voice: "Zhao Shilang don't need to worry, you go back first today, I think there will be news soon."
Zhao Chong nodded, knowing that the news Feng Sheng said must be about this position of minister, so Zhao Chong, who got the promise, naturally no longer entangled, and he had already forgotten about Zhao Rujin.
Feng Sheng watched Zhao Chong leave coldly, and then ordered someone to call for his confidant.
After Zhao Chong came back from the Fifth Prince's residence, Mrs. Zhao stepped forward immediately, with a rare eagerness on her face, she pulled Zhao Chong's sleeve and asked, "Fifth Prince is going to avenge Rujin ?"
Seeing her panicked appearance, Zhao Chong said a few words of comfort: "You don't have to worry about this matter, the fifth prince will make the decision for Rujin, what about Wuxia?"
Mrs. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Zhao Chong's mention of her daughter, and she felt rather blamed in her heart: "The child stayed in the room all the time, and even used lunch in the room. After all, she is also Rujin's older sister, It should be a stick of incense for Rujin."
Zhao Chong glared at her, Dr. Zhao was taken aback, swallowed those unspoken complaints abruptly, with an aggrieved expression on his face, and looked at Zhao Chong with tears in his eyes.
Zhao Chong rubbed his brows, after all, they were married for many years, and she just lost her beloved son and couldn't bear to criticize any more, so she just said: "You don't care about Wuxia." After speaking, he shook his sleeves and left, leaving nothing but Mrs. Zhao stayed where she was.
Compared with Zhao Rujin, the son who was causing trouble everywhere, Zhao Chong still loved Zhao Wuxia more, because among his children, Zhao Wuxia was the one who most resembled him in temperament.
And this daughter is much more useful than his incompetent sons, Zhao Chong ordered someone to summon Zhao Wuxia, and the two had a secret conversation in the study for a long time, even Mrs. Zhao was not allowed to approach.
"Father." Zhao Wuxia said calmly, Zhao Chong nodded, a rare smile appeared on his face, and his words were much gentler.
"Wuxia, let's do it." Zhao Chong pointed to the seat in front of him, saw her sitting down and said: "You should know that I went to see the Fifth Prince today."
Zhao Wuxia nodded, since Zhao Zheyu returned to the mansion, her personal servant girl would tell her everything that happened in the mansion, so she naturally knew that Zhao Chong went to the fifth prince because of Zhao Rujin's matter.
"The Fifth Prince has accepted my post as Minister of War." Zhao Chong said to his daughter with a look of greed in his eyes.Seeing this, Zhao Wuxia looked indifferent, and she didn't even think much of her parents. Seeing Zhao Chong's ugly expression was even more disgusting, and asked in a low voice, "Why?"
"Of course it's because of Rujin. Back then, the fifth prince agreed to protect Rujin in Chenzhou for his father. As a price, I would break off the engagement with Marquis Jin Rong and preserve Zhou Ying's reputation."
"Not enough." Zhao Wuxia shook his head. Although the expression on his face remained unchanged, his heart was full of contempt. Zhao Chong's move was simply deceiving himself.
At the beginning, the fifth prince easily agreed to Zhao Chong's protection of Zhao Rujin in Chenzhou as a stopgap measure. Jin Ronghou and the Zhao family would choose Jin Ronghou.And in order to prevent the situation from spreading to the public and affecting Zhou Ying's reputation, the Fifth Prince proposed such a condition, suppressing the Zhao family from resisting and hastily handling the case.
This move clearly abandoned the Zhao family, but the fifth prince looked forward and backward, wanting the support of Marquis Jin Rong and not losing the help of the Zhao family, so he hurriedly threw out the bait of the Minister of War to appease Zhao Chong first, and waited until the situation was over. Even if Zhao Chong is full of grievances and complaints, there is nothing he can do.
Zhao Wuxia sees this matter clearly, not because she is so intelligent, but because she understands people's hearts better than ordinary people.With Zhao Chong's ability, how could the fifth prince easily leave the position of Shangshu to Zhao Chong, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of War is such an important position, although he has no military power, he has the right to dispatch the guards of the entire Fengshouzhou. How could Zhao Chonglai take a share of what was left to his confidantes.
What's more, because of Zhao Rujin's matter before, the Zhao family had long been divorced from the fifth prince, and such an important seat would never be handed over to Zhao Chong.And Zhao Chong was only in the middle of the game, and he didn't see through his identity, so he had such an illusion!
Zhao Chong frowned, and said in doubt: "You mean that the fifth prince will not leave me the position of minister of the Ministry of War, but what he said clearly means that he has already promised this position to me!"
Zhao Wuxia sighed inwardly. Although his father had ambitions, he didn't have the corresponding ability. No wonder Ji Jiying had only climbed to the position of servant after so many years.
"Father, no matter whether the Fifth Prince promises you the title of Shangshu or not, you have to make two preparations." Zhao Wuxia looked up at Zhao Chong and said, "Do you still remember what Wuxia told you?"
Zhao Chong just woke up like a dream, and laughed loudly: "Yes! Yes! As long as you enter the palace, not to mention Queen Zhao's mother's family, even the Fifth Prince should be afraid. His Zhao family has daughters, and our Zhao family also has daughters. !" Zhao Chong laughed heartily as he looked at Zhao Wuxia's gorgeous face.
His daughter is not inferior to Empress Zhao. Once she enters the palace and wins the favor, even Uncle Zhao will not dare to underestimate her. If she is lucky enough to give birth to a prince, she can also compete for that seat!
"Father, my daughter hasn't entered the palace yet." Zhao Wuxia mercilessly pierced Zhao Chong's dream, as if she didn't see the other party's stiff expression, and continued: "Queen Zhao has ruled the harem for many years, and in this palace she must always say what she says, so Regardless of whether the Fifth Prince grants you the position of Shangshu, you must endure it!"
Zhao Chong hurriedly nodded and said, "It's only natural!"
On one side, Zhao's father and daughter discussed the countermeasures, and on the other side, Wei Lin was walking towards Gu's mansion alone.
It's just that when approaching Gu's mansion, Wei Linchao whispered to no one: "Come out!" After a few breaths, Yao Ye appeared from the corner of the street, with no embarrassment on his face at all.
"I should have told you, Yao Ye?" Wei Lin's lips were pale, and although his face was expressionless, Yao Ye knew that he was probably extremely angry at this moment.
"My lord, Yao Ye is only worried about your body." Yao Ye looked directly at Wei Lin, if other people would have been confused by her radiant gaze, but Wei Lin just snorted coldly in his heart, worried?I'm afraid it's for surveillance.
"Didn't you witness Lu Qing saving me that day? Are you still afraid that I will collude with Gu Hanzhao?" Yao Ye naturally sensed the coldness in Wei Lin's words. The word collusion is not so much a self-deprecating mocking her.
Yao Ye bit her lip, wondering: "Master, you should know that Yao Ye can't leave your side unless necessary."
Wei Lin frowned, the coldness in his eyes almost froze Yao Ye, before Yao Ye could defend himself, he suddenly clutched his chest and gasped for breath, Yao Ye was startled, panic appeared in his eyes, and immediately exclaimed: "Master!"
"Get out!" Wei Lin shouted with all his strength, but his weak voice made his prestige disappear.Yao Ye was stunned, with tears in his eyes, and said with difficulty: "Young master, if you want to be angry, you can get angry at Yao Ye, why bother to make things difficult for yourself!"
Wei Lin turned a deaf ear to it, and pushed Yao Ye away with his last bit of strength, while he staggered to leave.
Suppressing the tears in his eyes, Yao Ye finally said with difficulty: "My lord, you don't have to argue with Yao Ye, Yao Ye just obeys orders, I just hope that you can let Yao Ye send you outside the gate of Gu's residence."
Hearing this, Wei Lin no longer insisted on his own opinion, nodded weakly, and asked Yao Ye to help him outside Gu's mansion.
Since Zhao Jianyu came into the mansion, people often came to seek medical treatment. Zhao Jianyu was kind-hearted and had outstanding medical skills, so the concierge of Gu's mansion would not stop someone from coming.The concierge had been working in Gu's residence for some time, seeing Wei Lin's serious illness, he just thought that he came to seek medical treatment again.
Seeing that he looked like he was about to fall down at any time, his words were unconsciously polite, and he said in a gentle voice: "This young master came to find Mr. Zhao Zhanyu. My Mr. Zhao just returned to Zhao's residence yesterday. I'm afraid you It's going to be a waste of time."
Yao Ye heard the words and looked at Wei Lin, Wei Lin pursed his lips, forced a smile and said, "Is there a young man named Lu Qing in the house?"
The concierge was startled, he could never have imagined that this person was not looking for Zhao Jianyu or Gu Hanzhao, but Lu Qing.Seeing his appearance, the porter scratched his head, and said honestly: "There is one, but I don't know why the young master is looking for him?" Yu has learned some medical skills, which is different from ordinary servants.
"I was once rescued by him, so I came here to thank you. Lu Qing knew me when he saw me." The concierge heaved a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't come to make trouble, he immediately smiled and said: "The two of you, please stay here for a while." Wait for a while, I'll call Lu Qing out."
Yao Ye frowned when he heard the words: "Can you let my young master enter the mansion to wait?"
The concierge immediately understood Wei Lin's appearance at this time, but after all, he was only a servant in the mansion, and he really didn't dare to make a claim, not to mention that Gu Hanzhao and Zhao Jianyu were not in the mansion today, and Lu Mu was the only one left at home. The female relatives and the six-year-old Gu Mingchen are really not suitable for seeing guests.
"What are you doing standing outside the door?" The porter's eyes lit up when he heard the familiar voice, seeing that it was Gu Hanzhao returning home, he was relieved, and hurriedly told the truth.
Gu Hanzhao didn't think too much about it, but Wei Lin and Yao Ye's appearance and temperament were really not like ordinary people, so it was inevitable that they were a little bit more concerned.But seeing Wei Lin's frail appearance didn't make him continue to wait outside the door, so he invited the two of them into the mansion.
Yao Ye supported Wei Lin, and wanted to help him into the mansion, but saw that Wei Lin just stood there, showing no intention of leaving.Gu Hanzhao, who was leading the way, turned his head suspiciously. Seeing that their master and servant hadn't followed and was about to ask questions, Wei Lin said to Yao Ye: "Go back first."
Yao Ye bit her lip, the grievance in her eyes made the concierge feel pity, but unfortunately, the master turned a deaf ear, showing no intention of pity, and reprimanded: "Have you forgotten what you said before!"
Seeing that Wei Lin was about to get angry again, Yaoye suppressed the fear and worry in his heart, and said sadly, "Yaoye will wait outside the mansion."
"Up to you!" After Wei Lin finished speaking, he broke away from Yao Ye's hand, and walked away quickly without looking back.
Gu Hanzhao only had Zhao Zheyu in his heart, no matter how beautiful Yao Ye was, he was just a woman with a dry face in his eyes, not to mention that he had no intention of getting involved in the affairs of their master and servant, so naturally he would not speak for Yao Ye.The concierge wanted to speak for Yao Ye, but it's a pity that he was a small concierge, so he didn't have room to comment on this matter.
When Wei Lin followed Gu Hanzhao into Gu's mansion, the concierge shyly approached Yao Ye and said, "If girl is tired, you can wait in the tea shed in front."
Yao Ye had just been rejected by Wei Lin, and now he was angry, when he saw the concierge's obsequious face, he immediately turned and left.Seeing this, the concierge couldn't help but scratched his head, this girl is as beautiful as she is beautiful, but her temper is too bad, she just asked casually and threw up her sleeves and left.
Gu Hanzhao brought Wei Lin into the mansion, and ordered someone to call Lu Qing. Zhao Zheyu was not in the mansion for a few days, so Lu Qing took over Zhao Zheyu's job to take care of the pharmacy. He heard that a young master named Wei Lin came to look for him. Just feel full of doubts.
When he saw Wei, he remembered that the person in front of him was Mr. Wei who fainted in the grass that day. Seeing that the two really knew each other, Gu Hanzhao left without hesitation.
"Thank you so much that day. I've been wanting to come to thank you all the time. Unfortunately, I was so busy with mundane affairs that I didn't have time until today." Wei Lin's eyes were full of sincerity. How come today.Anyone with a certain mind will doubt the intention of the other party's trip.
It's a pity that Lu Qing's temperament is simple, and he doesn't have any scheming. Seeing that the other party said that he didn't come to visit because of trivial matters, he didn't doubt it. What's more, when he saved people, he never had the intention of asking the other party to repay his favor, so he naturally wouldn't think about it. .
And even if Gu Hanzhao was thinking about it, he would not ask any more questions when he saw that Lu Qing knew this person, and from Wei Lin's appearance, he really looked like he needed medical treatment.
The two sat down and talked for a while, and what they said was nothing more than words of thanks. Lu Qing just sat on the side and smiled shyly when he heard this.
Wei Lin originally wanted to go to the Gu mansion to discuss with Gu Hanzhao through his chance encounter with Lu Qing, but changed his mind the moment Lu Qing came in.The two were polite, and Wei Lin finally asked out the doubts in his heart: "I smell a faint fragrance on you." Lu Qing was startled, he didn't expect the other party to change the topic so quickly.
But he didn't have any defenses, he just thought that the other party was suspicious of the scent of medicine on his body, so he handed a sachet hanging on his waist to the other party, and asked, "Is this the smell you're talking about?"
Wei Lin took the sachet and took a deep breath, and opened his eyes slowly when the fragrance filled his nasal cavity, and said in surprise, "I wonder who prepared the spices in this sachet?"
"It's my son." Lu Qing replied truthfully.
Hearing this, Wei Lin was surprised and said, "It's Lord Hou? Lord Hou can also arrange spices."
Lu Qing smiled and said: "Of course not, it's Mr. Zhao from my family." When Lu Qing mentioned Zhao Zhanyu, his face could not help but put on the color of admiration: "My Mr. Zhao's medical skills are outstanding, some weak people are not suitable for recuperating with medicine , Young Master started with this spice, mixed with various medicinal materials or incense or bathed, sometimes it is more effective than drinking medicine directly!"
Wei Lin saw him showing such an expression, he looked like a pure child, he didn't feel it was ridiculous, but thought his temperament was very cute.
Wei Lin took out the sachet from his arms and handed it to Lu Qing, saying, "No wonder you knew what I meant when you saw me holding the sachet that day. If someone else might not have thought that this sachet is a good medicine for healing and saving lives."
When Lu Qing saw that the other party praised him, he felt his cheeks were slightly red, and quickly waved his hands and said, "It's my son who is amazing."
Seeing this, Wei Lin chuckled, picked up Lu Qing's sachet and sniffed it at the tip of his nose, but his heart was already full of twists and turns.The son who lives in Zhenyuanhou's mansion and whose surname is Zhao is well known to be Zhao Zangyu, and Zhao Zangyu is Zhao Wuxia's younger brother.Thinking about it, Zhao Wuxia really lied when Baidi Poetry Review that day, Leng Tan is probably the work of Zhao Jianyu.
It's no wonder that I haven't found that person after searching for a long time. I didn't expect that it was Zhao Wuxia who made a hindrance. All the beautiful women and jade Wuxia are people who are trying to gain fame.
"I don't know if your son is in the mansion." Seeing Wei Lin's appearance, Lu Qing knew that the other party wanted Zhao Jianyu to treat him, so why not: "Your master just returned to Zhao's mansion yesterday, and he is not in the mansion now."
Seeing Wei Lin's disappointed eyes, Lu Qing couldn't bear it either. Looking at Wei Lin's appearance, he knew that he must have been suffering from this disease for many years, so he couldn't help but ask: "If Mr. Wei doesn't mind, can you let me treat you?"
Wei Lin raised his head in surprise, Lu Qing misunderstood the meaning in his eyes, only thought that the other party did not trust his medical skills, and hurriedly explained: "Don't look at me like this, in fact, I have been practicing medicine with you for six years, although my medical skills are not as good as yours. Superb, but still able to diagnose some."
"That's not what I meant." Wei Lin looked flustered, and quickly explained when Lu Qing misunderstood.
Seeing his nervousness, Lu Qing touched his nose with his hand and smiled, "I was joking with you."
Wei Lin sighed and shook his head, and stretched out his hand to Lu Qing's eyes.Seeing this, Lu Qing also put away his joking thoughts, and stretched out his hand to take Wei Lin's pulse carefully.
After a while, he relaxed his frown and asked: "Did you bring this disease from your mother's womb?" Wei Lin nodded and replied: "Indeed." Anyone with a brush can see that his disease was brought from the mother's womb.But there was no one who could heal him, until he met a person who also likes to use medicinal materials and mix spices to cure diseases and save people. It can be seen that Zhao Zheyu's skills in mixing spices are in the same line as his, but that person is older than Zhao Zheyu. Concealing Yu is much bigger.
"Your body contains slight poisons and toxins, like the herbs your mother drank to protect the fetus, but it is mixed with other toxins and toxins, which is very complicated." Lu Qing hesitated for a moment before telling the truth.
Wei Lin's heart was shocked, and he replied: "Indeed." When his mother was framed by someone, she accidentally drank abortion pills, and then she drank a lot of abortion pills to save him.These medicinal materials were not poisonous in the first place, but those people were jealous of their mother, and even when they failed to plan, they repeatedly poisoned him. Although his mother gave birth to him by a narrow margin, he survived only two years in the end, and he also brought a whole body with him. poison.
If it wasn't for the mother's natal family who did their best to protect him back then, I'm afraid he would have turned into an underground ghost to accompany his mother.
Lu Qing looked into his calm eyes, and swallowed the comfort he had blurted out.This poison is not something very people can bear, not to mention that his poison has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and there is no possibility of healing.Moreover, when the poison occurs, he must endure the pain of gouging out the heart and cutting the flesh. Lu Qing really can't imagine how this person can bear this pain.But this person has survived. For such a determined person, these empty comforts are of no use to him.
Seeing the worry on his face, Wei Lin tried to persuade him, "I've already gotten used to this poison, it means that after [-] to [-] days, the pain will be severe, and it will kill me."
Lu Qing shook his head when he heard the words, remembering the first time he saw him, the man curled up in the grass, even though he was sweating all over his body afterwards, he would still thank him politely.What a doctor hates the most is this moment of powerlessness, but Lu Qing is thinking at this time, even if he is not good at learning and cannot save Wei Lin, there is still Zhao Jianyu. Zhao Zheyu's grandfather who wandered around.
"I can't help you because I'm not good at learning, but I think you must have a way!" Lu Qing hurriedly said: "When he comes back from Zhao's residence in a few days, I will ask him to treat you carefully. The medicine will be cured soon!"
Wei Lin didn't speak when he heard the words, but just smiled lightly. Seeing him like this, Lu Qing only thought he agreed, and a smile appeared on his face immediately.When Wei Lin saw him, he just sighed in his heart. He also wished countless times that he would not suffer such heart-wrenching pain, but each time the hope was accompanied by deeper and deeper despair.
While Wei Lin was talking with Lu Qing, Gu Hanzhao also got news from the dark guard.
"Are you sure?" Gu Hanzhao frowned and asked the guard standing behind him respectfully, full of doubts in his heart.
The hidden guard nodded and replied: "Indeed, I have seen him in the fifth prince's residence."
Hearing this, Gu Hanzhao felt a little uneasiness in his heart. At first he thought it was a simple repayment of kindness as Lu Qing said, but he couldn't think of the hidden secret!
"The fifth prince really obeys what he says?" Gu Hanzhao asked carefully.
"Yes!" The dark guard also frowned, he didn't expect to see Wei Lin in the mansion when he reported Su Li's matter to Gu Hanzhao today.But at the same time, he was also very fortunate that if Gu Hanzhao didn't know Wei Lin, it's still unknown what kind of trap he would fall into.
"Wei Lin, Wei Lin..." Gu Hanzhao only felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he heard it. He could only calm down and peel it off carefully.
It shouldn't be the past life, Gu Hanzhao first ruled out the past life, the self in the past life didn't care about the affairs of the court at all, so the word Wei Lin himself can only be in this life
