The Favoured Medical Princess: 695 true love
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
Today's morning session lasted until noon.
The Nangong family, which had been closed to the public for many days, before they had time to inquire about the outcome, welcomed a new guest - Nangong Cheng's husband, Pei Yuanchen. At the moment, he and Nangong Sheng were in Nangong Mu's study. When they talk, what they talk about naturally revolves around the fraud case.
The atmosphere in the study was a little solemn.
"My father-in-law has always been upright, but when I say it, it is completely false," Pei Yuanchen said sternly, "There must be a way around this matter!"
Nangong Mu, who was sitting across the table from Pei Yuanchen, sighed with a wry smile. He could not be as optimistic as Pei Yuanchen, and neither was Nangong Sheng.
Pei Yuanchen is also a smart man. He noticed it immediately and asked tentatively: "Second uncle, eldest uncle, is there any other secret behind this matter?"
Nangong Mu and Nangong Sheng looked at each other, and then Nangong Mu said: "Yuan Chen, this matter involves too much," with a deep sense of helplessness in his tone, "I know you have been contacting the courtiers recently to prepare for the memorial. The Nangong family has recorded your thoughts, but you must not be impatient. This matter must be slowed down for the time being... It is better to stop calmly first and then see. If there is still a chance for things to change, you can try again. Please give me a push, otherwise, don’t even fall into the Jian Amber Mansion..."
If there is still a chance to change this matter, Pei Yuanchen will give it a push to cater to the holy will. But if the emperor plans to use the Nangong family to settle the dispute, and Pei Yuanchen mobilizes troops to mobilize the crowd, then the emperor may think that the Nangong family is forming a clique for personal gain and gathering a crowd to intimidate the emperor. If not, the Anbo Mansion will be implicated.
Pei Yuanchen couldn't help but think deeply when Nangong Mu said it so seriously.
Nangong Mansion is for civil servants, but Jian'an Bo Mansion is for high-ranking officials. The high-ranking officials entered the officialdom under the shadow of others, and have nothing to do with the imperial examination... If something happens, both the civil servants and the high-ranking officials will be involved. There are really only a handful of them, such as seizing the direct descendant...
Thinking about it, Pei Yuanchen's complexion changed slightly, thinking about the affairs of the three princes, and the twists and turns of establishing the crown prince...
This matter does need to be handled with caution.
"Second uncle, nephew-in-law understands." Pei Yuanchen solemnly promised.
Nangong Mu showed a hint of relief on his face and thought to himself: Fortunately, my niece has found a good son-in-law.
Nangong Sheng also raised the corner of his mouth slightly, stood up, clasped his fists and said cautiously: "Yuan Chen, I will leave it to you, my eldest sister!"
It was his duty to take care of his wife. Just as Pei Yuanchen was about to agree, there was a burst of messy footsteps outside, mixed with breathless shouts: "Second Master... Jin... Jin Yiwei is here... Jin Yiwei is here... Here we go again!"
The three men in the study all had serious expressions on their faces and went out, only to see a young man running towards him in a hurry. The young man saluted and said anxiously: "Second Master, Eldest Young Master, The Jinyi Guards are here and have surrounded the house, saying they want to search."
Before he could finish his words, he saw a group of guards in uniform walking towards them not far away. The leader was none other than Lu Huaining.
Lu Huaining strode forward and politely clasped his fists at Nangong Mu: "Lord Nangong Mu, I came here to search on the emperor's order. I apologize for offending you."
There is no way to avoid disaster. Nangong Mu sighed in his heart. Up to now, Nangong Mansion is just a small boat in this stormy sea. He doesn’t know where it will drift. If he is not careful, a huge wave will hit him. It will be completely destroyed.
Lu Huaining looked at Pei Yuanchen again and said, "Prince Pei, the Emperor has ordered that the Nangong Mansion be temporarily sealed. Prince Pei, please come back."
Pei Yuanchen hesitated for a moment. The current situation seemed to be extremely unfavorable to the Nangong family. He had better go back and discuss it with his father. If it really came to a last resort, he would have to save the women at least.
Thinking of this, he bowed to Nangong Mu and Nangong Sheng, and then left Nangong Mansion under the leadership of a royal guard.
For the Nangong family, this storm has just begun. At best, it can only be regarded as clouds and strong winds...
Pairs of eyes in every palace in the royal capital are secretly watching the activities in Nangong Mansion, either watching, worried, surprised, gloating, or harboring ill intentions.
Half an hour later, Lu Huaining left with a group of royal guards, entered the palace again, and went to the royal study to report to the emperor.
The emperor listened to Lu Huaining's report and waved him away with a serious face. Only the emperor and Eunuch Liu who was serving beside him were left in the imperial study.
The emperor could no longer hold his face and sighed helplessly.
It is said that the emperor is the emperor and the lord of the world, but who can know the helplessness of being an emperor...
The emperor actually did not believe that Nangong Qin dared to practice favoritism and malpractice in Enke. He also wanted to keep Nangong Mansion!
The Nangong family is the head of the scholarly community. He was originally the minister he chose for Xiao Wu to serve as assistant to the government. Nangong Yu is also Xiao Wu's companion. They get along with Xiao Wu day and night, and the two are like brothers. The emperor can imagine that if there are no accidents, after Xiao Wu successfully ascends to the throne in the future, Xiao Wu and Nangong Xin will surely spread a good story about how the monarch and his ministers get along, and their reputation will be remembered for future generations...
But now, the situation has come to this point, and the Nangong family is in danger...
If something really happened to the Nangong family, what would Nangong Yue, the crown prince of Zhennan who is now far away in southern Xinjiang, think?
Zhennan Palace has always been a pimple on the emperor's mind. Originally, Nangong Yue married into Zhennan Palace, and with the Nangong family in the capital as a buffer, Zhennan Palace would inevitably have some concerns when doing things...
However, these rioters kept making trouble again and again, causing turmoil in the court. The matter had become too big and the emperor couldn't suppress it even if he wanted to.
Thinking about it, the emperor's eyes looked gloomy. He rubbed his tangled brows and felt a dull pain in his forehead.
The imperial examination is to select talents for the country. For those literati students, it is also an opportunity to change their destiny. Whether they will rise to the top in one fell swoop, fraud is an untouchable obstacle for them. If this fraud cannot be calmed down and the people of the world cannot be given an explanation, it will chill the hearts of scholars all over the world... In the end, it will shake the people's hearts and affect the government.
The consequences are disastrous!
Now the situation is getting more and more tense. If I don't control it, it will be a catastrophic disaster for Dayu and shake the country's foundation.
To suppress the anger and injustice in the hearts of the court and students, he could only slit his wrists——
The only way is to sacrifice the Nangong family!
Although it was a pity, there was nothing he could do.
As an emperor, the most important thing is balance!
In just one cup of tea, the emperor's expression changed several times, from being hesitant to making a decisive decision at this moment.
At this moment, a young **** walked into the imperial study, respectfully presented the book in his hands with both hands, and reported that Nangong Qin Gang in the heavenly prison had taken the book.
Nangong Qin’s secret? ! The emperor's expression was a little complicated, thinking that he had just made a decision, and was about to tell the young chamberlain to put the paper aside, but he heard the young chamberlain continue: "Your Majesty, Master Nangong said that he can prove that Jinke will be selected as a scholar. It's fair..."
The little chamberlain held the paper high, not daring to look up at the emperor's face.
The emperor's eyes darkened slightly, hesitating for a moment, and finally said: "Send it to me for a look."
The little chamberlain first handed the fold to Eunuch Liu, who then presented it to the emperor's imperial case.
After the emperor opened the book, he only glanced at it. His pupils shrank and his expression became a little subtle. Even Eunuch Liu, who believed that he knew the emperor eight or nine times, could not see through the emperor's mood and anger at this moment.
The imperial study room was quiet. The little chamberlain naturally knew that the emperor was in a bad mood due to the recent fraud case, so he waited aside tremblingly, not even daring to take a breath.
After a while, the emperor closed the fold and told Eunuch Liu beside him: "Huairen, please pass on the order and tell me that the Jinke Palace Examination will be held in three days. At that time, the answers to the Palace Examination will be copied by several bachelors. Announced in Gongyuan..."
"Yes, Your Majesty." As he responded, Eunuch Liu couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that the fraud case had not yet been concluded, but the emperor actually wanted to hold the imperial examination at this time. It seemed that he was putting the cart before the horse. I don’t know what Nangong Qin’s excerpts said that made the emperor have this idea...
The emperor's mouth curled up slightly and continued: "Although the general examination has ended, the palace examination has not yet begun. I can actually give it a try to see if the students on the list have real talent and knowledge. Those students will suspect that the examiner is cheating. , you won’t suspect that I am greedy for profit, right?”
As long as the palace examination is held, it will be clear whether those students have cheated in the Enke examination, and the turmoil in the court and the scholars can be calmed down, and their mouths can be silenced!
Eunuch Liu's eyes lit up and he hurriedly accepted the order and retreated.
Eunuch Liu served the emperor closely. Of course he saw the emperor's struggles in the past few days. This time, if we can really find a way to get the best of both worlds, no matter whether it is for Dayu, the court, or Nangong Mansion is a great blessing!
The emperor was left looking down at the folding paper on the imperial case, and murmured: "Since the fraud case came out, no one in the civil or military circles in the court could give me any advice. In the end, it was Nangong Qin..."
The faint sigh disappeared in the imperial study room in an instant...
After the emperor issued a decree, the students kneeling in front of the palace gate started a commotion again, whispering to each other.
As the saying goes, it’s a mule or a horse, just pull it out for a walk and you’ll know!
Although the emperor's decree did not completely satisfy the students, it calmed them down a lot. Most people felt that this might not be a solution.
Whether there is any fraud will be known after the imperial examination!
The students scattered away in twos and threes, and not long after, the originally crowded palace gate became empty again...
The news that the emperor ordered to continue the palace examination soon reached Han Lingfu's ears, including the fact that the students who had originally gathered at the palace gate had dispersed.
Hearing this, Han Lingfu, who was drinking tea, stiffened his hands and almost dropped the celadon tea cup in his hand.
Obviously he had arranged everything well, and it was only one breath away from him, but unexpectedly something like this happened!
Why did my father suddenly think of holding the imperial examination at the cusp of such a storm? !
Originally, he thought that Zhu Yushi would pursue the victory in the court tomorrow morning and formally accuse Nangong Qin of cheating, making him and the entire Nangong family completely unable to stand up, but he did not expect that he would win. Things that are within our control are actually out of our control...
Han Lingfu's hand holding the tea cup subconsciously exerted a little force, his eyebrows were furrowed, and he was furious...
Xiao Lizi watched the veins on Han Lingfu's forehead twitching and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
Han Lingfu put down the tea poison, took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and said, "Who is Jinke Huiyuan?"
Xiao Lizi hurriedly replied: "Huang Hetai is the son of Jingzhou, and he is a straw bag. I have some articles he has written in the past. Your Majesty, would you like to read them?"
Han Lingfu made a gesture, indicating to Xiao Lizi to bring this person's article.
The article talks about reducing taxes. In the article, Huang Hetai praised the late emperor and the current emperor for creating the prosperous era today, and suggested that the bad governance of the previous dynasty should be used as a mirror for governance. The demise of the previous dynasty was mainly caused by excessive taxes and excessive taxes and the exploitation of the people. It's too much, so now the court should reduce taxes and lighten the burden on the people.
The writing is rich in rhetoric, but it has no substance, avoids the important and neglects the important, and does not fundamentally analyze how to reduce taxes, the impact and drawbacks of tax reduction on the court, and how to solve subsequent problems...
Han Lingfu only read half of it, and then put the article aside. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth curved into a sarcastic arc.
This person is indeed a fool. If he had not known the test questions in advance, let alone Huiyuan, there would be no way he would have been on the gold list.
As long as Huang Hetai takes part in the palace examination, he will definitely make a fool of himself in front of his father. Then the article he wrote in the palace examination will become irrefutable evidence. Nangong Qin will never be able to escape "fraud and favoritism"!
Thinking about it, Han Lingfu felt better and asked Xiao Lizi to serve him with pen and ink.
Seeing that his master was in a good mood, Xiao Lizi breathed a sigh of relief and skillfully prepared his pen and ink.
After Han Lingfu pondered for a while, he wrote a letter to the second emperor brother Han Lingguan in one go. The letter contained only a few sentences, instructing Han Lingguan to wait for the palace examination and let Zhu Yushi take advantage of the victory to attack. The Nangong family must be restored. The place of death.
Han Lingfu read the letter again, raised the corners of his mouth proudly, and was about to let Xiao Lizi blow dry the ink, but when the words came to his lips, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated two beats, and there was a strange cold feeling. His heart surged, as if his internal organs had been soaked in ice water, and his body began to tremble violently...
"Bang!"
The tea cup in his hand fell from his fingers and fell to the ground, smashing into countless pieces. Hot tea and broken porcelain pieces were scattered everywhere, leaving the study in a mess.
Only then did Xiao Lizi realize that something was not right with Han Lingfu. He was still sitting behind the desk, but his face was as white as paper, his fingers were shaking like chaff, and his breathing was like a cow panting, heavy and long...
"Huh-huh-"
With the heavy breathing, Han Lingfu's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Xiao Lizi became anxious and asked nervously: "My lord, what's wrong with you? But where are you feeling unwell?"
Han Lingfu is a martial arts practitioner and has always been in good health. Seeing that he was suddenly so weak, Xiao Li panicked and said, "Your Majesty, I will call for the imperial doctor right now..."
"Wait...wait!" Han Lingfu called out to Xiao Lizi with almost all his strength, his clothes already soaked with cold sweat on his back. Xiao Lizi didn't know what was going on, but Han Lingfu knew it well.
Since he became suspicious a few days ago, he secretly poured out the soup Bai Muxiao made for him. One day, two days, three days... His body became more and more uncomfortable, and he became more and more uncomfortable. Uncomfortable, often wake up in the middle of the night, heart palpitations, unable to fall back asleep...
He actually already had the answer in his heart, the answer that made him unbelievable and heart-wrenching, but he always held a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that he was wrong.
Now, there is no room for him to escape anymore!
The truth was already in front of him.
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Lizi hurriedly supported Han Lingfu's shaky body and looked at his master worriedly, always feeling that his master's illness seemed not simple...
Han Lingfu took a few breaths, bit his back teeth, and said: "Quick, go and ask Doctor Liao to come over..."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao Lizi responded, hurriedly left the study, and ordered a guard to quickly invite Dr. Liao over quietly.
The guards followed the order and left, while Xiao Lizi returned to the study. The ominous premonition in his heart became stronger: Dr. Liao was familiar with the prince. Since the prince ordered Dr. Liao to come over, he did not want his illness to be reported to the hospital. On record...
My lord, what is the cause of his illness? !
For Han Lingfu, the waiting time became so unbearable. He felt as if his whole body had never been so uncomfortable. There seemed to be countless insects biting him in his limbs and bones, making him wish he could...
His nails dug into his palms so hard that his teeth almost bled.
"Your Majesty, how about I help you take a rest on the Arhat bed..." Xiao Lizi suggested cautiously.
Han Lingfu shook his head and almost shrank in discomfort...
After burning the incense, Dr. Liao finally came out of breath carrying the medicine box. Just as he was about to salute, Han Lingfu said with difficulty: "No need to be polite, come and see for me!"
When Dr. Liao saw Han Lingfu's face turned pale, he immediately obeyed his order, sat on a round stool next to the desk, stretched out three fingers to feel Han Lingfu's pulse...
The study became quiet. Xiao Lizi used a white towel to wipe the sweat from Han Lingfu's forehead from time to time. After surviving the most uncomfortable moment, Han Lingfu seemed to have recovered a little, but his face was still pale without a trace of blood, and his breathing Heavy...
Under Han Lingfu's eyes, which were as gloomy as the abyss, Doctor Liao's expression changed slightly. After repeatedly checking his pulse, he blurted out in surprise: "Has the prince taken Wuhe ointment recently?!"
For a moment, there was deathly silence in the study, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Wuhe paste? ! It’s really Wuhe paste!
Han Lingfu was horrified, not knowing whether it was fear or anger...
How dare she, how could she, how could she!
Han Lingfu clenched his fists subconsciously, and after a while he ordered Xiao Lizi to reward and send Doctor Liao away.
After another quarter of an hour in the study, Han Lingfu felt a little better, so he endured the discomfort and hurried back to the inner courtyard, and then went straight to Xinghui Courtyard.
"Your Majesty."
Bai Muxiao stood up with a smile to greet him. She was wearing a moon-white plum, bamboo and chrysanthemum engraved silk jacket, and had a loose knot on her head. She looked as beautiful as ever, as if she had never changed...
However, looking at Han Lingfu at this moment, he felt as if he had never known this woman before!
Han Lingfu could no longer hold back his suppressed anger, and asked sternly: "Tell me! What kind of soup did you give me to drink?"
Han Lingfu stared at Bai Muxiao with red eyes, and his face was a bit ferocious. He was no longer like the gentle and jade-like Prince Gong in ordinary times!
Bai Muxiao was startled for a moment, then smiled: "The prince finally found out!"
The smile was as bright as a spring flower, as if it was no big deal.
She already knew that this matter could not be hidden for long. Since she dared to do it, she was not afraid that Han Lingfu would find out.
What's more, Han Lingfu only found out now that it was already too late!
"Pa——"
The next moment, a loud slap resounded throughout the room. Bihen and Biluo took a breath, but did not dare to step forward.
A bright red slap mark appeared on Bai Muxiao's snow-white cheek, and even her cheeks became slightly swollen.
"You bitch, I have never been sorry to you, how dare you harm me!" Han Lingfu was so angry that his face was livid, and he pressed a breath on his chest so that he could hardly breathe, and all kinds of feelings surged up in his heart.
Hate, anger, and even more heartache and chills!
It was as if there was an invisible big hand holding his heart tightly.
Han Lingfu thinks that he treats Bai Muxiao well. He puts her first in everything, loves her, pities her, dotes on her, treats her like jewels. He has done so much and sacrificed so much for her... …
But she actually treated him like this and gave him a fatal blow secretly!
This woman is so cruel that she wasted all his true love!
How could a mere slap relieve the anger in his heart? He raised his hand and slapped him away again...
If you don't take precautions the first time, if you don't learn to behave the second time, you will be stupid! Bai Muxiao sneered in her heart. How could he succeed again? She twisted her body to avoid it.
She looked at Han Lingfu with contempt and said: "Although those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters, no man who beats a woman can achieve great things."
