Chapter 125 Six Flowers Flying 21

Huo Weilou's unhurried words ended immediately.

He had always been someone who wanted to be close to her, but now that she was holding her waist, he was stunned for several breaths before his chest started to rise and fall, "Youyou——"

He spoke in a deep voice, his voice seemed hoarse, but the hand hanging by his side did not move.

Seeing this, Bao Ruoyou hugged him tighter and rubbed her cheek against his chest. Only then did she realize that the warmth in his body was gone, but his chest was broad, as generous as she imagined. Hard.

She didn't speak, and moved closer to him. At this time, Huo Weilou raised his hand and hugged her. His arms tightened tighter and tighter. His hands roamed on her back, and then he held her deeply. In arms.

He lowered his head and took a deep breath on the top of her hair, then exhaled for a long time, and his straight back finally relaxed.

Bao Ruoyou could almost feel the hard texture under his thin silk shirt. Shyness flashed between her brows and eyes. She said in a soft voice: "The prince lost his consciousness when he was poisoned. Mr. Hou." Don’t ever take what he said to heart.”

Huo Weilou said "hmm", and Bo Ruoyou changed the subject and said angrily: "The prince has really indulged himself too much. Although what he said was said when he was not sober, I don't know if he has ever done anything before. With this in mind, the prince used to be the most obedient in front of the Marquis. When he gets better this time, the Marquis will definitely teach him a lesson."

As she spoke, she whispered, "I have never heard anyone talk to Mr. Hou like this. Even if I want to beat him for Mr. Hou." After saying this, she rubbed her cheek against Huo Weilou's heart again. After a while, "The Marquis is the best brother in the world, how could he chill the Marquis so much."

Huo Weilou's chest rose and fell very quickly, as if he had never expected that she could comfort him so much. What she said before was just deliberately said to be light-hearted. She also said that Huo Qinghong did not mean it from his heart, and reprimanded Huo Qinghong for doing something wrong. She wanted to vent her anger for him, but only this last sentence, with the heartache in her words, was what she really wanted to say, and it instantly soothed the pain that he was pretending not to be affected by.

His breathing became tight, emotions overflowed in his heart, and the bitterness stuck in his throat finally dissipated. He took another deep breath, picked up Bao Ruoyou, took two steps forward, and held her Putting it on the desk, this move made Bo Ruoyou slightly shocked. Sitting on the desk like this, she could look at him levelly when she raised her eyes.

Huo Weilou looked at her with deep eyes, his forehead almost touching hers. Bao Ruoyou's heart suddenly beat faster, but he said in a deep voice: "Did you hear it just now?"

When Bao Ruoyou thought of what Huo Qinghong said, he felt a little sad in his heart, and nodded "Yeah".

The corners of Huo Weilou's lips twitched, and his smile was rather bitter, "Are you afraid?"

Bo Ruoyou was confused, "Why are you afraid?"

Huo Weilou was silent for a moment, and then said: "Because not everything he said was false."

Bo Ruoyou recalled Huo Qinghong’s words and wondered which ones were angry words and which ones were true. Huo Weilou said in a solemn voice: "My father passed away early. He was not on good terms with my mother. He was not a disease that was told to the outside world. Die."

Huo Qinghong said that the Duke was forced to death by the eldest princess. Bo Ruoyou was slightly shocked. Could it be true?

Seeing that she was suddenly surprised, Huo Weilou leaned forward and hugged her again. She was sitting higher now, her chin could fall on his shoulder, and he hugged her neck to neck.

"My mother is the eldest princess. When we first got married, she was the one who chose my father. My father had no love for my mother at all, but he had to accept the marriage. At the beginning of our marriage, we treated each other with respect, but according to the rules of this dynasty, After becoming the consort, he was not allowed to hold real power in the court, so although my father was given the additional title of Duke Dingguo, it was just an idle job."

"My father became more and more depressed, and he got better after I was born. But within a few years, he felt depressed again. After my sister was born, he even thought about taking a concubine. The daughter of a family friend whom we had met took her back to the mansion."

Bo Ruoyou was shocked. No wonder Huo Qinghong mentioned "a family of four" at that time. She had not paid attention to it at that time. Only now did she realize that it was Huo Weilou who had a younger sister, and she couldn't think of anything to do with him as a consort. How could Duke Dingguo act so insistently?

Huo Weilou continued to whisper in her ear: "My mother was furious because of this, and she had a huge quarrel with my father. At that time, my sister was less than one year old. Because of the quarrel between the couple and the lack of care by the servants, my sister became seriously ill. , and died soon after."

Bo Ruoyou's eyes trembled and she couldn't help hugging him. Huo Weilou continued: "My mother was so distraught that she executed my father's concubines and imprisoned my father. The future of the entire Huo family was Forced, she wanted to make her father admit his mistakes and write a confession, but his father refused to admit it until death. After more than half a year... he hanged himself."

Bao Ruoyou never expected that his father would die like this. Thinking about what Huo Weilou said before, she felt her heart tremble even more. Huo Weilou said that he wanted something so solid and unshakable more than she did. Friendship, at that time it sounded like Huo Weilou wanted to reassure her, but she never thought that he might really think so.

"After my father died, my mother collapsed completely and soon became mad. I was ten years old at the time and stayed by her side every day. Her condition was good and bad. When she was twelve years old, she got even better. A little too much. At that time, the eldest princess's palace was powerless and could only rely on His Majesty's slight consideration for his mother to maintain dignity. Duke Huo's palace knew the inside story and was walking on thin ice. At that time, I decided to go to the battlefield."

"Later, I came back once every six months. It was okay to come back before. But after I came back on New Year's Day when I was fifteen, my mother never wanted to see me again..."

Bo Ruoyou asked in a trembling voice: "Why is this?"

Huo Weilou stepped away from her neck, his phoenix eyes were dim and difficult to see the light, but when he spoke, his tone was still calm, "Because I already looked like a young man at that time, they all said that my father and I I had the same facial features, and my mother would get sick whenever she saw me. She hated my father so much that she couldn't stand the sight of me who was somewhat similar to my father. After the onset of the disease, she looked for my father hysterically. In my imagination, my father was a coward. He killed his sister and then ran away. For a while, he completely forgot about the past, but he would continue to hurt himself."

Bo Ruoyou's heart clenched fiercely, "The eldest princess is said to have been sick all year round..."

Huo Weilou nodded, "Actually, it's madness. It's just that she has gotten older over the years and has some other symptoms."

Bao Ruoyou couldn't help hugging Huo Weilou tightly. She recalled in a daze that when Huo Weilou was bumped into by the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion for the first time in Qingzhou, everyone thought he would get angry, but he looked crazy. The eldest lady unexpectedly calmed down.

She couldn't help but said: "Then the Marquis said earlier that he would take me to the eldest princess's mansion..."

Huo Weilou responded, "I just want you to know that Her Royal Highness the Princess, who is rumored to be aloof and superior, is now just an ordinary woman with unclear consciousness. I want you to know what my mother is like, and I don't want you to know what my mother is like." You are afraid of those false reputations."

Bao Ruoyou didn't know this at that time. She said that she wanted to see Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. She just felt that Huo Weilou was too impatient, and the Eldest Princess was a dragon and a phoenix among people. If you find it difficult to resist, how can you dare to obey him?

Huo Weilou did say at that time that he just wanted to take her to see what his mother looked like.

Bao Ruoyou tightened her arms. She didn't know that Huo Weilou was so difficult. Behind the background of a noble man who seemed to be the proud son of heaven, there was such a broken family. She was a little sorry, "If Mr. Hou takes me there again, , I will definitely go with the Marquis."

Huo Weilou couldn't help but look at her seriously, "Seriously?"

Whether he was going to see his mother was of great significance. Bo Ruoyou was a little hesitant when he asked him this question, but his hopeful eyes gradually made the hesitation in her heart disappear. She felt certain and nodded. "Seriously."

Huo Weilou took her into his arms. He seemed a little emotional, and Bo Ruoyou's face was slightly red. If she had never thought about becoming his wife before, then from now on, she would Relented.

At this time, she really felt some secret shame about the private exchange, but now that she was more devoted to him, these thoughts arising from taboos on ethics were not that shocking. She suddenly understood what was in the script. The stories are all true. It's not that the talented men and beautiful women don't know etiquette, it's that the friendship has reached this stage and they can't control themselves at all.

She stroked his back with her hands, and she felt a different kind of peace in her heart. Even though they were so intimate, she didn't feel as embarrassed as before. She even wanted to give him more comfort, making him no longer what he was just a moment ago. So sad.

"As long as you are willing, I will take you there today."

Bo Ruoyou laughed when he heard this. She still remembered why she came here. Seeing that his mood was much better, she stepped back and said, "Master Marquis, don't worry, I actually came here today because of the poison in the prince's body." Come, the method my adoptive father is using can relieve the pain of poisoning. Although it is not detoxifying, it may relieve a little or two and can make people last longer. I just want to see if Mr. Ming has any other methods. If not, Then you can ask your adoptive father to come and take a look at him."

Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it really useful?"

Bo Ruoyou nodded, "The man whom my adoptive father is treating has improved, and he can take medicine and food normally. It's just that people are different. How about the prince's side, I have to come and see if he can." ”

Huo Weilou's phoenix eyes suddenly lit up, as if he didn't remember those heart-wrenching words at all. Bo Ruoyou couldn't help thinking, with such a brother, Huo Qinghong shouldn't have said that for whatever reason. if.

"It's so natural and wonderful!" Huo Weilou immediately said: "Is it convenient to pick up your adoptive father now?"

Bo Ruoyou thought for a moment, "My foster father is currently treating the young master of the Huang family, and he will probably have to wait for a while before he goes there."

"It doesn't matter." He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "You have heard that he is not feeling well now. Your adoptive father is here and may be able to relieve him a little bit."

Bo Ruoyou's heart softened when he heard this, and he said sincerely: "Master Hou is really a good brother."

Huo Weilou's eyes were a little deep for a moment, "I have never heard those words of his before, and I don't know that my second uncle had ever told him that. Those words may have seemed a little too worrying at the time, but now it seems that they are too worrying. That's right. Now that I have this position in the court, Your Majesty will not allow my cousin to hold great power again. Your Majesty has been assured of me these years because my father has passed away and my second uncle is not interested in worldly affairs. Wealthy idlers with nothing to do, and anyone in the Huo family who is greedy for power will attract suspicion."

Bao Ruoyou's expression became serious when he thought of these things, and he comforted him, "Master Marquis, don't think about these things now. The first thing is to detoxify the prince. When he gets better later, the prince will still have time to do whatever he wants."

Huo Weilou nodded, turned around and went out to tell his attendants to take Cheng Yunzhi over to the house. Bo Ruoyou saw that he was still sitting on the table, his face turned red, and he jumped down quickly.

As soon as Huo Weilou finished ordering his attendants outside, he saw Eunuch Fu rushing over in a hurry. As soon as he saw Huo Weilou, he said: "Master Marquis, the prince is ill and confused. You must not take what he said to heart. ."

Huo Weilou nodded calmly, "I know, Youyou said that her adoptive father has a way to relieve the poisonous disease, and I have ordered someone to pick him up."

Eunuch Fu answered first, and then looked at his expression carefully. Seeing the expressionless look on his face, he sighed with pity, "The Marquis never shows these grievances on his face, but the old slave is very I feel sorry for Mr. Hou."

Huo Weilou licked his lips and said, "I know, go and watch him. When Youyou's adoptive father comes later, I will go there myself."

Eunuch Fu responded, looked at him carefully for a moment, and then glanced into the study. After thinking about something, he looked slightly relaxed, and then turned and left. Watching Eunuch Fu's back disappear, Huo Weilou stood outside the door. After standing there, he turned around and went in.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw Bo Ruoyou standing in front of the desk. She was leaning over to read the wolf-hair pen hanging on the corner of the desk. Her slender knuckles brushed against a row of pens, causing the pen tips to shake. Huo Weilou suddenly He quickened his pace, and before Bao Ruoyou could react to the sound of footsteps, he held her in his arms again.

Bo Ruoyou still had his back turned to him, dumbfounded for a moment, but Huo Weilou lowered his head, "I must have been a monk in my previous life."

Bo Ruoyou was confused, "Huh?"

"In my previous life, I must have practiced Buddhism and chanted sutras every day, saved all sentient beings, and accumulated great merits, so God will send you to me in this life."

Bo Ruoyou was dumbfounded when he heard this, and his teeth were a little bit sore, but she exposed him ruthlessly, "But I remember that the Marquis said that he came from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood, and never read Buddhist scriptures, nor did he believe in Buddhism. ."

"I didn't believe it in the past, but I will believe it from now on."

The more he talked, the closer he got, almost wanting to rub her ears against hers. Bo Ruoyou felt that this situation was beyond her expectation, so she couldn't help but take his hands off his waist, turned around and said, "Master Hou is in a great mood. ?"

Even if Huo Weilou felt chilled, it only lasted for a few moments, and he knew Huo Qinghong's nature best. These words did bring back some old memories, but he would not be resentful because of them. If you were gentle and gentle with each other, he would probably not have allowed himself to be sad for so long, let alone reveal it at all. At this moment, he would naturally not indulge in it.

The young man went to the battlefield and then held power for many years. He had already tempered his steely heart. The person he trusted the most might be able to draw a **** wound on him, but he had already developed a method of self-healing. To him, meaningless grievances and pains were cowardly actions. However, if he could get Bao Ruoyou to be close to her again, he would be willing to show her a little bit. He wanted her closeness and tenderness.

He looked at Bao Ruoyou, his eyebrows furrowed, and his expression seemed aggrieved inexplicably due to his tall and handsome figure, "It's not that good either."

Bo Ruoyou looked at him carefully and said quickly, "Master Hou, don't try to lie to me——"

Seeing that Huo Weilou had not coaxed her, he couldn't help but stepped forward and left her between him and the desk. He closed his arms and trapped her in his arms. Bo Ruoyou pushed him. Huo Weilou was very polite this time, and said solemnly: "Just hold you for a while, you don't know that I think about you day and night and hold you in my arms like this."

Bao Ruoyou lost strength in his hand and said helplessly: "Is this something inappropriate that the Marquis thought of?"

Huo Weilou couldn't help but laugh, "This counts as one thing. If you want to know anything else, then I..."

Bo Ruoyou said hurriedly: "No, no, no, I don't want to know."

……

When Cheng Yunzhi arrived at the gate of Hou Mansion, he saw Huo Weilou and Bo Ruoyou greeting him at the door. Cheng Yunzhi snorted secretly in his heart. In the past, when Bo Ruoyou was injured, he was a little wary of Huo Weilou. Now it seems that at that time, The vigilance was indeed right.

Cheng Yun got off the carriage and was about to salute Huo Weilou. Huo Weilou immediately stepped forward to help him, "Sir, there is no need to be polite. I need to ask you to save someone this time——"

Cheng Yunzhi couldn't help but be satisfied when he saw that he was interested. When he talked about medical treatment, he was quite solemn. He bluntly said that his method was to treat the symptoms but not the root cause for the time being. Huo Weilou also informed Cheng Yunzhi of Huo Qinghong's situation. Cheng Yunzhi heard it and was surprised. The method of treating the symptoms can be regarded as life-saving for Huo Qinghong at the moment.

The group of people almost entered the guest house.

After hearing this, Eunuch Fu immediately came out and complimented Cheng Yunzhi again. He was a person who had served the royal family for many years. A few jokes could make Cheng Yunzhi feel comfortable physically and mentally. Cheng Yunzhi was a good person to get along with. After entering the hall, he also made up his mind to spend 120% of his energy to treat Huo Qinghong.

Ming Guilan came to say hello in a wheelchair. Cheng Yunzhi nodded, looked at the couch, and heard Huo Qinghong reciting something feebly. Eunuch Fu said hurriedly: "The prince has been suffering from poisonous disease for several days. , the Marquis refused to give the gold paste for his own good, and now the prince has lost his mind and is quite dissatisfied with the Marquis."

Huo Qinghong has long been unable to speak consecutive sentences. In just a few days, he has become skinny and skinny, with disheveled hair on his temples. His eyes are black and his face is gray. He lies there with his body trembling and twitching all the time, but there is no trace of his body. He struggled harder with all his strength, tears kept coming from the corners of his eyes, and he didn't know whether he couldn't help it or if he really wanted to cry.

Cheng Yunzhi took a look and said, "It's normal. I heard that some people are poisonous and force their parents to buy gold ointment. If they don't go, they will hurt people with a knife. This poison is powerful when it is strong. No matter how strong it is, It’s hard to control your will.”

Eunuch Fu was too busy to respond, and went to look at Huo Weilou, who was standing at the back. Huo Weilou was standing at the door, his face hidden in the dim light and he couldn't see clearly. He was still very distressed.

Cheng Yunzhi had already walked to the couch and saw that Huo Qinghong's hands and feet were tied up, with a large bruise on his face. He couldn't help but feel a little sad. They had been on the same boat for half a month when they returned to Beijing. Although Huo Qinghong behaved a little arrogantly, He was also a young man wearing bright clothes and angry horses, but now, he has truly become a human being and a ghost.

Cheng Yunzhi first asked for his pulse, then asked about common medicines, and then said that he could use his own method, "The fragrant pills I brought today are prepared. When I go back, I will prepare some more medicine for the prince. I wrote It’s a recipe, just use it according to my needs for the time being.”

Ming Guilan didn't know Cheng Yun's identity, so he might have been specially invited by Huo Weilou, so it shouldn't be underestimated. He silently looked at Cheng Yunzhi from the side, thinking about the details of their return to Beijing, he couldn't help but belatedly realized that Cheng Yunzhi was somewhat extraordinary.

When Cheng Yunzhi asked for his pulse, he was close enough to hear Huo Qinghong's whispers. Occasionally, a few words fell into his ears, and even he could feel his expression change slightly. Take the fragrant pills.

The faint aroma of herbal medicine mixed with the fragrance of sandalwood filled the air. Huo Qinghong was slumped like a fish out of water, but when he smelled this smell, he seemed to suddenly gain some vitality, and he opened his tearful eyes again. With his eyes looking for the scent in a daze, Cheng Yunzhi moved the incense burner closer. Huo Qinghong seemed to have tasted the faint golden paste in it and immediately moved towards the couch.

He inhaled the smoke as crazily as Huang Lin. After inhaling for a long time, his body slowly collapsed, but it was stretched. He was not trembling and huddled in one place like before. Eunuch Fu exhaled when he saw this. "This thing may last a long time"

Cheng Yunzhi shook his head, "Of course it can't be used like gold ointment. The prince's body is too weak now. In two days, I can give him acupuncture. The acupuncture and medicine will be used to condition the body first, and then the poison will be released." At that time, fragrant pills will be used instead of gold ointment. I will also gradually reduce the dosage of gold ointment until the patient can survive with willpower. Over time, I hope to achieve the effect of quitting drug addiction——"

Ming Guilan listened thoughtfully, and Cheng Yunzhi obviously had no intention of keeping it to himself. He actually said it without any reservation. Eunuch Fu felt relieved and went to see Huo Qinghong again. Sure enough, he saw him. He was much calmer, and his consciousness was returning little by little, and he was conscious, but his whole body was a little detached and dull. He opened his eyes and looked at Cheng Yunzhi motionless.

"Your Majesty? This is Mr. Cheng, do you recognize him? Mr. Cheng came to treat you. Do you feel better?" Eunuch Fu asked him warmly, but Huo Qinghong had no reaction.

Cheng Yunzhi said: "Let the prince take it easy. Later, let him eat some food and drink some decoction. Drink as much as he can. If you can't drink it, don't force it. According to the time you said the poison will take effect, I'm afraid the poison will occur around noon tomorrow, so I'll come over early tomorrow to see how the prince's pulse is when the poison occurs."

Eunuch Fu thanked him, and Huo Weilou sent Cheng Yunzhi away. Huo Qinghong's eyes moved when he heard his voice, but his body was still slumped on the couch unable to move.

After leaving the door, Cheng Yunzhi asked some questions about Huo Qinghong's living and eating habits, and then wanted to leave. Bo Ruoyou naturally left with him. Huo Weilou looked at the sky and felt quite dissatisfied in his heart, but Ning Xiao and Lu Ke did not When he arrived, since he had a business trip, he didn't leave Bao Ruoyou alone, and personally sent the two of them to the carriage and watched them leave.

In the carriage, Cheng Yunzhi frowned and said, "The eldest son of the Huo family just muttered a lot."

Bo Ruoyou's heart moved slightly, "Are you talking about the Marquis's family affairs?"

Cheng Yunzhi nodded, "That's a bit heartbreaking..."

"When I came just now, I heard a few words." Bo Ruoyou did not tell Cheng Yunzhi what Huo Weilou said, but just asked: "Does the adoptive father know anything about what happened back then?"

When the incident happened, the Cheng family was still flourishing in the Imperial Hospital. Cheng Yunzhi sighed and said, "Of course I know a lot about it. And when the eldest princess came to marry the Duke, it was a very grand event in the capital. , the Cheng family also went to congratulate her. Later, there was a lot of unhappiness in the eldest princess's house, and there were many rumors. Then Duke Ding died of illness, and the eldest princess also fell ill. I remember that the eldest princess had a sociable temperament. In the beginning, the Princess's Mansion was always bustling with people, but after that, the Eldest Princess's Mansion was always closed, and even now it seems that it is closed to all guests."

Bo Ruoyou felt a little worried again, "Is the foster father sure about the prince's poison?"

Cheng Yunzhi sighed, "It's difficult. He is more poisoned than Lin'er. It can be seen from his pulse. I'm afraid it will take some effort."

Cheng Yunzhi returned home in a hurry, also wanting to make new medicines according to Huo Qinghong's symptoms. After returning home, he immediately went into the study and drew up several prescriptions to compare. From sunset to night Intermittently, Huo Qinghong was given medicine pills.

Early on the next morning, Cheng Yunzhi went to the Huang family for consultation early, and then took Bo Ruoyou to the Hou Mansion. Huo Weilou had been busy the day before, and thought that Cheng Yunzhi and Bo Ruoyou would come at noon, so he returned home for the first time. Home is waiting.

When the father and daughter arrived at the Hou Mansion, Huo Weilou came to welcome him personally. His attitude was cordial and thoughtful, which was very different from before. Cheng Yunzhi saw it clearly, and after all, Huo Weilou was only in his twenties and had never had a romantic relationship. No matter how cautious he was, his thoughts towards Bo Ruoyou were still exposed, especially to Cheng Yunzhi, who had come before him. He was a little picky about Huo Weilou in his heart, and at the same time he could see that Huo Weilou was interested in Bo Ruoyou. I cherish it quite a bit and it can be said to be a mixed bag of things.

When they arrived at the guest room, they saw that Huo Qinghong didn't have poisonous hair, but he was lying on the couch like a puppet. Although he no longer said or did anything stupid, he only moved and said nothing, as if he had lost his voice. generally.

As soon as Cheng Yunzhi sat down and within a cup of tea, Huo Qinghong felt something was wrong. Both Cheng Yunzhi and Eunuch Fu became a little nervous. Hong stopped shouting today. No matter how hard it was, he just gritted his teeth and shed tears silently. When Cheng Yunzhi lit up the fragrant pills, he finally recovered as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.

This process is very long, and it is not easy for Huo Qinghong to endure it while he is conscious. The gold ointment in the fragrant pill is only a little bit, just like scratching an itch, but it does not make Huo Qinghong collapse into madness. It couldn't alleviate the pain much, and Eunuch Fu was jealous. Huo Weilou and Bo Ruoyou stood outside under the verandah.

The silence made people even more anxious. Huo Weilou talked about the gold ointment case: "Wei Yan has been found, and he did use gold ointment."

Bo Ruoyou frowned, "Could it be that the golden ointment in Feng Ye's place came from him?"

"Part of it, Wei Yan gave it to him, and he also bought it from Changning Marquis. When I asked him about it that day, he deliberately hid it from Wei Yan. Now Wei Yan is also addicted to drugs, and he is accused by Wei Shu Hiding outside the city for treatment, Wei Shu never imagined that he was seeking profit, but in the end he harmed his own son."

Huo Weilou said in a deep voice: "Both Li Yuan and Wei Quan were recruited. Gold paste became popular in the southwest. The Shen family made a lot of profits from this. Later, they wanted to bring the gold paste into the capital, so they found Li Yuan to do it. Introduction, the Shen family is very smart. They do not do business under the emperor's feet. On the contrary, the entire southwest is almost controlled by the Shen family. Li Yuan is the person they can trust in the capital."

"To do such a business, the court would naturally have to take care of it, but he didn't expect that Wei Shu had already known about the sound of gold ointment. Wei Shu ordered Wei Quan to come forward to cooperate with Li Yuan and wanted to take over the capital and even the entire The gold ointment business in the north. To this end, Wei Shu invested most of the money he had obtained in Weicang, Qinshui County. They had sent people to recruit workers in the southwest cottages and purchased the fruit seeds of Beauty Smile. This Among them, Song Yu, as Wei Shu's proud subordinate, also participated. That day, Song Yu went to the tea shop to see the latest fruits and seeds of Beauty's Smile——"

Bo Ruoyou was horrified when he heard this, "So Wei Shangshu is the main culprit in the corruption of the Ministry of Revenue?"

Huo Weilou's voice became colder, "This household department is not clean from top to bottom. Especially in the case of Weicang, Wei Shu took the majority. He was already in jail yesterday, but he has not confessed yet because of his tough words."

After a pause, Huo Weilou continued: "Song Yu handled a lot of documents and account books. He helped Wei Shu cover it up. I don't know whether he did it voluntarily or under coercion. However, after the Wei Cang incident in Qinshui County, Wei Shu He had taken many account books from Song Yu. These were the things that the Zhishi had been looking for before. Before Song Yu died, his study seemed to have been robbed, which also reminded the Zhishi that there was something behind this case. Those things have been taken away. Some of those account books were found in the Wei Mansion last night, and the rest were destroyed by Wei Shu. If Song Yu had not died, he would either have Song Yu block the crime, or he would have Song Yu imprisoned forever. You know, Song Yu probably guessed his ending."

Bo Ruoyou sighed: "Wei Shangshu has reached the second rank, but he still has to put himself in danger..."

The corner of Huo Weilou's lips curled up with a cold arc, "Too greedy. When he has power, he covets wealth. When he has a small wealth, he covets great wealth. Moreover, he intends to support the eldest prince, but the Xu family is weak. , whether it is to win over connections or to carry out evil plans secretly, money and money are an extremely important part, even gold and silver are not enough for him."

Huo Weilou's few words seemed to make Bo Ruoyou witness the overt and covert fighting among the royal family with her own eyes. She was a little frightened, "But Marquis Changning is the maternal uncle of His Highness the Second Highness——"

"This is the brilliance of Wei Shu. If this thing is not so harmful and has not caused such a fatal case, then if Chang Ning Hou is doing this business together, he will be unaware of it, and After this rigorous investigation, the people of the Second Highness are also involved." Seeing her frowning and thinking hard, Huo Weilou raised his hand and caressed her eyebrows, "The plots in the court are much more complicated and sinister than the human life cases. I’m telling you, just know it, don’t think about it too deeply.”

If it is a murder case, she can do an autopsy and collect evidence. She can clearly see the wounds on the body, and there are clues at the crime scene. However, the battle between the government and the opposition relies entirely on guessing people's hearts, but she can't There was no way to break people's hearts, so Bao Ruoyou sighed and really no longer embarrassed himself.

"Then the implications are so wide, isn't it true that the Marquis is very busy?"

Huo Weilou nodded, "The next two months will probably be the busiest time this year."

Bao Ruoyou's eyes were full of heartache. Huo Weilou was moved when he saw her expression. He glanced in the direction of the main hall and couldn't help but want to hold her hand. Bao Ruoyou still wanted to hide. But people have been held by him.

He held her hand and turned around to leave. He actually walked along the corridor to the corner. After turning the corner, he avoided the eyes of the attendants in the courtyard and moved further away from the hall. Huo Weilou surrounded her. In the tight passage, he took her into his arms.

"Master Hou——"

Bao Ruoyou's heart was beating so fast that it was about to burst out of his throat. There were many attendants in the hospital, and they walked along the corridor to the upper room. Cheng Yunzhi and the others were still treating Huo Qinghong and giving him acupuncture, but he...

"You must say goodbye with your adoptive father later. I can't keep you. I will probably not return to the house tomorrow and I will not see you again until the day after." Huo Weilou's hand was not loose, and she was already aware of her size. Slender, even more petite in his arms, she simply couldn't resist.

Bao Ruoyou's face was slightly hot, and she finally raised her hands to wrap around his waist. However, Huo Weilou seemed to want more. He leaned forward slightly and rubbed the side of her face with his nose. Just when he was about to come up, Bo Ruoyou Ruoyou pinched his waist hard.

"Hiss——"

……

When the acupuncture was finished, it was already dusk. Huo Qinghong endured it all day, drank the decoction and fell asleep. Cheng Yunzhi came out and said to Huo Wei: "One time is not effective, and the acupuncture has to be continued for three to five days. Only then can you see the results."

Huo Weilou said: "Then I have to bother you sir for the next few days."

Cheng Yunzhi happily agreed and gave instructions on how to use the medicine on weekdays before saying goodbye and leaving the house. Huo Weilou took Eunuch Fu to see him off in person. Watching the father and daughter leave in a carriage, Eunuch Fu looked at Huo Weilou suspiciously. , "The Marquis is quite polite to Mr. Cheng now..."

Huo Weilou said without looking at him: "Mr. Cheng is the elder after all, and he should be. Besides, haven't I always respected the old and loved the young?"

Huo Weilou was in a very good mood. After speaking, he turned around and left. Eunuch Fu rolled his eyes.

On the way back to the main courtyard, Huo Weilou asked: "How has the princess mansion been these past few days?"

"She said that Her Royal Highness the Princess is feeling better, and she even asked about the Marquis."

Huo Weilou frowned and said after a moment: "When I'm done with my busy days these days, I want to take Youyou through the house."

Eunuch Fu's eyes brightened slightly. He immediately understood why Huo Weilou was so attentive to Cheng Yunzhi, and he hurriedly said: "In the past few days, I will ask more about where you are. If the princess is in good health, the Marquis can take Youyou there. Look, Her Royal Highness does not get sick every time."

Huo Weilou said unusually: "It's nothing wrong with the illness. I've already told her."

Eunuch Fu was shocked and couldn't help but feel a little bitter. He was quite relieved to think that Bao Ruoyou was still willing to go after knowing this, "Then... that's fine, just wait until the Marquis finishes the case in the Household Department. Yes."

Huo Weilou responded and quickly entered the study.

When Bo Ruoyou accompanied Cheng Yunzhi to the Marquis Mansion again on the second day, Huo Weilou was nowhere to be seen. Huo Qinghong was still as weak as the day before. He looked even more pitiful when he was poisoned. His face was full of laughter and curses. He was lifeless, as if he had lost some of his interest in living. Ming Guilan was now here not to treat his illness, but to accompany him.

After the acupuncture was finished, Ming Guilan came forward and said, "Senior Cheng, may I ask if you recognize my father?"

Since Cheng Yunzhi chose to come to the Hou Mansion for treatment, he had already expected that he would encounter an old friend from the past. He hesitated for a moment and did not hide it, "I recognized him more than ten years ago."

I recognized him more than ten years ago, but it’s hard to tell whether I recognize him now. Ming Guilan’s face changed several times, as if he knew his identity. He couldn’t help but said: “When I had the accident, I vaguely remembered that there were two people named Cheng. The doctor comes into the house, but you are there?"

Cheng Yunzhi glanced at Ming Guilan's legs, with a sigh in his eyes, "It's me and my father."

He seemed unwilling to mention the past events. He put away the needle bag and left. Bo Ruoyou left naturally. Eunuch Fu sent the two of them away. When he came back, Ming Guilan was stunned at the door. Eunuch Fu Someone who knew Cheng Yun's identity stepped forward and said, "Young Master has guessed it."

Ming Guilan shook his head, "When I got home last night, I asked my father if there was a powerful doctor named Cheng in the world. It was only when my father mentioned it that I found out that my memory of what happened back then was blurry, and I was seriously injured at the time. I haven't seen it clearly, otherwise, I might recognize the senior. If you put it this way, senior Cheng and my father still have some old disagreements..."

Eunuch Fu shook his head, "It's all old things. Don't take it to heart, young master." He paused slightly and said, "Young Master, maybe he will go to the eldest princess's mansion in the next two days? The Marquis has not been to the princess's mansion for many days. , I want to visit you recently, and the young master is going to check the pulse of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Ming Guilan naturally responded.

When Bao Ruoyou and his daughter arrived at the Hou Mansion again, Ming Guilan was no longer with Huo Qinghong. Cheng Yunzhi treated Huo Qinghong, and Huo Weilou brought Bo Ruoyou into the study and brought them together. This official document was shown to her. On top of the official document was written the testimony of Wei Shu, how he conspired with Wei Quan's business in Luozhou to replace the grain and rice in Wei warehouse, and how he moved the money and silver obtained into Wei warehouse without anyone noticing. In the family bank, they have gained a lot of money over the years, and how they will write letters to the Shen family and conspire with Li Yuan will be revealed at the same time.

Huo Weilou omitted the list of corrupt officials and did not show it to her, but just by looking at Wei Shu's testimony, she also understood how much shock this would cause in the court. Wei Shu even confessed that he had already done something to Song Yu. The death order wanted Song Yu to defend him, but Song Yu was considered his protégé and wanted to submit. However, although he was involved in corruption, he did not approve of Wei Shu's flow of gold ointment into the capital. As a result, the two had differences. In this way, Song Yu came up with the strategy of using his own life to disguise murder.

The evidence in the official document was written simply, and it looked like the simplified version that had been sent to him right after the confession. Although the words looked ordinary, I don’t know how many people were involved and how many people had broken the law. Fa lost his life.

Huo Weilou said: "I won't be able to return home during the day in the next few days. You will have to endure some hardships as you accompany your adoptive father back and forth."

Bao Ruoyou shook his head and said, "Master Hou, just feel at ease. Although the prince has not improved significantly in the past two days, his energy and energy are much better than before. He can also sleep for a while at night, especially today when the poison came out earlier. It was a little late the day before, and if the time interval between the onset of the poison becomes longer and longer, it means it has taken effect."

Huo Weilou said with joy in his eyes, "If this method is really effective, it can be implemented throughout the city and even in the southwest. When the time comes, I will ask Your Majesty to take credit for your adoptive father."

Bao Ruoyou hesitated for a moment, "Father, he doesn't want to bring up the past, because he doesn't want to be bound by a false reputation."

Huo Weilou's eyes were solemn, "I know what happened in your adoptive father's family. In fact, Lao Yuanzheng cannot be blamed for what happened back then. Your adoptive father saw the Cheng family destroyed and the good reputation of the Cheng family's medical family also ruined. There must be a lot of frustration and unwillingness, but has he ever thought that there might be a way to restore the reputation of the Cheng family?"

Bo Ruoyou's eyes brightened slightly, and Huo Weilou said again: "The Cheng family has a reputation in the capital for hanging pots to help the world, and I have sent people to the palace to read the files on Concubine Hui's case, and it is recorded in the files It is vague, and it does not mention the fault of the old hospital. If your adoptive father has made a contribution this time, it will not be difficult to restore the reputation and status of the Cheng family. Moreover, your adoptive father has excellent medical skills and inherited the Cheng family's family knowledge. I feel that it should not be in vain. It was abandoned, but he saved the neighbor's child, which is also the compassion of a doctor."

Huo Weilou's last two words coincided with hers. Bo Ruoyou thought about the unjust injustice that the Cheng family suffered and the whole Cheng family disappeared in the capital, and felt quite aggrieved by Cheng Yun, "Let's take a look first. Will the adoptive father's method work? When did the Marquis go to investigate the matter of the adoptive father?"

The corner of Huo Weilou's lips raised, "When your adoptive father took you to the Lin family, I went to investigate after he came back, and then I went to see what the case of Concubine Hui was, so I knew what was going on." He said. Then he spoke softly, "I know that your adoptive father is just like your biological father, so I will naturally consider him. Of course, if he doesn't want to, you don't have to mention this to him."

Bao Ruoyou felt a warm current welling up from the bottom of her heart. She didn't know that Huo Weilou had done this before. If she was just investigating Cheng Yunzhi's life experience, it would be quite ordinary. But when she thought about investigating the case of Concubine Hui, she also thought about making orders. The Cheng family's reputation was restored because he worked hard.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis..."

Huo Weilou smiled and walked closer to her. Before she could react, Huo Weilou had put her in his arms. He picked her up and put her on the desk. "How can I thank you?"

Bao Ruoyou felt that since she hugged him, this person couldn't help but get closer to her every time. She glanced at the door of the study room with a guilty conscience and said softly: "Master Hou... Master Hou... He is not the one who repays kindness."

Huo Weilou snorted softly when he heard that, and stared at her with a stern gaze that made her heart tremble. After a few moments, he suddenly sighed and pulled her into his arms, and gritted his teeth and said, "I endured it today. I will get it back several times in the future."
