Married Thrice to Salted Fish - Chapter 72
Xiao Li was the emperor’s youngest son, and the only aunt. He was only fifteen years old this year. He should have been admired in the imperial palace, and he grew up with a lot of spoils, but he was regarded as a shame by the emperor because of his innate intelligence, and he was left unattended in another palace. No matter how eager the queen is, she can only see her son twice a year, once during the Mid-Autumn Festival and once during the Chinese New Year.
“The Sixth Prince?” Hu Ji asked, “Why do you suddenly think of the Sixth Prince.”
Lin Qingyu found the column containing the prince’s pulse: “I want to know how the sixth prince got sick.”
Although Xiao Teng respected the queen, his aunt, he still had a biological mother, and the biological mother was a noble concubine. In the days to come, Xiao Teng will be crowned the throne, and both the empress and the concubine Chen will be the queen mothers, a mother empress dowager, and a mother empress dowager. The queen has been sitting in the back position for so long, naturally she would not want to sit on an equal footing with another woman.
As long as they don’t want Xiao Teng to ascend to the throne, they can temporarily become his allies. And to win over the queen, Xiao Li is undoubtedly the best entry point.
Xiao Li was sent to another palace for more than ten years, and the emperor kept secret about the foolishness of his aunt, and there was very little news about him in the palace. Both Lin Qingyu and Hu Ji entered the palace in recent years. They only knew that the Sixth Prince was a fool, but how foolish he was.
Hu Ji helped Lin Qingyu find the pulse case, saying: “I heard that the queen used to search for famous doctors to treat the Six Princes. But neither the imperial doctors in Beijing nor the famous genius doctors in the rivers and lakes can do anything about the Six Princes’ diseases. In this case, it should be. He was born stupid and there is no cure.”
Lin Qingyu agreed with Hu Ji. But Xiao Li is the biggest bargaining chip to control the queen, it is worth his time.
“Found it!” Hu Ji drew out a heavy pulse book, “Let’s see if this is it?”
Lin Qingyu took a look: “It is indeed the case of the Sixth Prince.”
The two looked through it on the spot. Every doctor who asked Xiao Li for pulses said that his pulse condition was the same as that of ordinary people, and he couldn’t even find the cause of his illness, so how could it be treated.
Xiao Li’s case is much thicker than others. At first, he was no different from other princes. He had the Ping An pulse once a day, and occasionally got a small illness before he was two years old. After two years old, Xiao Li still couldn’t speak, and the queen became anxious. More and more doctors were invited, and he had more and more cases. When Xiao Li was five years old, the emperor gave up completely, ignoring the empress’s various pleadings, and insisted on sending the youngest son to another palace.
On the day Xiao Li left the palace, there was another person who treated him. This person is not an imperial doctor, nor a doctor, but a great teacher, Xu Junyuan. The last record of the case book said: The teacher said, this is a disease of loss of soul, and there is no cure.
“Loss of soul?” Hu Ji thoughtfully, “I heard from my grandmother when I was a child that when the baby was born, the soul is unstable. If you are too scared, you may scare your soul away…”
Lin Qingyu asked: “Do you believe it?”
Hu Ji smiled embarrassedly: “I know that doctors shouldn’t believe this, but many things can’t be explained by common sense.”
Lin Qingyu closed the case book: “I didn’t believe it in the past, but now…”
Gu Fuzhou’s soul can fly around the world, and a person with loss of soul in Xiao Li district is nothing.
Hu Ji said: “If the sixth prince is really lost of soul, it is really useless for Hua Tuo to reincarnated.”
Lin Qingyu thought for a moment, and said, “I still want to see with my own eyes-who are the medical officers in the other palace today?”
The other palace that people in the palace often call is Jinyang Garden, which is only a day’s journey away from the capital, and it only takes half a day to speed up. Jinyang Garden was built near the water and was a royal summer resort. In recent years, the emperor has been in poor health and has not visited Jinyang Garden for a long time. In Jinyang Garden, apart from a few old concubines, only Xiao Li lived. The maids and eunuchs who served were naturally not as dedicated as those in the palace, and even the medical officers on duty were the last in the hospital.
Lin Qingyu told his father that he wanted to visit the Sixth Prince in another palace. Father Lin didn’t ask much, and quickly handled the matter for Lin Qingyu. The first snow fell in the capital, and it was cold, and many people were sick. In places like the palace, general doctors are reluctant to go. Lin used a doctor who had no official position but had real talents on the grounds that the manpower of the palace was insufficient.
It took Lin Qingyu two days to go to Jinyang Park by carriage. After Gu Fuzhou learned about it, he wanted to go with Lin Qingyu, but was ruthlessly rejected: “You don’t need to go to court or discuss politics?”
“Yes.” Gu Fuzhou said painfully, “but I got a disease that would wilt without seeing Doctor Lin in one day.”
Lin Qingyu asked: “Will this disease affect your sleep?”
“This question is a good question.” Gu Fuzhou touched his chin and said, “The last time I had insomnia, it was the last time.”
Lin Qingyu looked at Gu Fuzhou with the look of a fool. Gu Fuzhou smiled and said: “I mean, in Yongliang. At that time, the dog emperor refused to let me come back to death, and caused me to suffer from insomnia.”
Lin Qingyu calmly packed the medical box: “As long as it doesn’t affect your sleep, it’s not a big deal-I will come back as soon as possible.”
Gu Fuzhou knew that Lin Qingyu was going to do business, that is to say, he would definitely let him go in the end.
Lin Qingyu was unimpeded along the way. After checking his identity, the guards of Jinyang Park let him go after a few interrogations.
There are mountains and pools in Jinyang Park, with continuous running water; pavilions, terraces and pavilions are scattered high and low. Summer is a magnificent scene, but in winter, there is only depression. Walking in the garden can only see a few sweeping eunuchs and maids, not even as lively as the General’s Mansion.
Lin Qingyu followed the **** who led the way to the hospital. There is only one medical officer on duty in the medical hall. He has a fat head and big ears, and his stomach almost breaks the official uniform. He is nesting in the charcoal fire and roasting sweet potatoes. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he didn’t look up and said: “There is no medicine in the hospital. If you are sick, you must go out of the palace or take it yourself.”
Leading the **** said: “Emperor Huang, a member of the Imperial Medical Office is here.”
When the medical officer surnamed Huang heard the words “Emperor’s Office”, he immediately stood up and saw Lin Qingyu, who was shocked again: “You are…”
“My name is Lin.”
There are only a few people surnamed Lin in the Imperial Medical Office, and the person in front of him is so outstanding that he can easily guess his identity with a little bit of information. Doctor Huang said with a smile: “It turned out to be the general’s wife, disrespectful and disrespectful.”
“You just said that the hospital is out of medicine?”
“Isn’t it.” Huang Huang sneered at Lin Qingyu’s cold face, “As soon as winter enters, more people become sick. Naturally, the medicine in the clinic is not enough for this wind-cold and that cough.”
“Then if His Highness Six is ill, do you want him to’either go out of the palace or see it by yourself’?”
Huang Taiyi was short-lived: “This…what the Madam General said, His Royal Highness is in good health.”
“I mean just in case.”
“Then, then we will definitely find a way. His Royal Highness is the son of the emperor, we even have ten heads and dare not neglect.”
When Lin Qingyu was working in the palace for a long time, he had already taken offense to some people’s behavior. “Where is your Highness showing up.” He said, “Today, I will give your Highness a pulse.”
Madam Huang complained constantly, for fear that Lin Qingyu would chew on the roots of his tongue in front of the convicted adult, or even stabbed the queen, only to be careful to please: “Yes, please, Mrs. General, please.”
Lin Qingyu came to Xiao Li’s bedroom, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a young man in an ink brocade squatting in the snow, lowering his head and not knowing what he was playing. In such a cold day, the boy didn’t even have a cloak on his body.
Lin Qingyu asked the **** who led the way: “This person is His Royal Highness Six?”
The **** only promised: “Yes…”
Someone next to him was talking, and Xiao Li didn’t respond. He inserted his red hands into the snow, dug up a handful of snow, and stuffed it into his mouth.
“Your Highness!” The **** rushed to Xiao Li and grabbed his hand. “You can’t eat this.”
After being pulled by the eunuch, the snow in Xiao Li’s hand fell to the ground. He stared at the ground blankly, then slowly stood up, looking at Lin Qingyu.
When his eyes met, Lin Qingyu was slightly startled.
Xiao Li was born very well and had a slender figure. He was as old as Lin Qingyu when he was fifteen or six years old. His eyebrows were exquisite, his facial features were compelling, but his eyes were dull and lifeless. The handsome appearance of Ren’s youth will be greatly reduced by this.
For some reason, Lin Qingyu always felt that Xiao Li’s appearance was two or three points familiar.
Lin Qingyu saluted Xiao Li: “Student Lin Qingyu, see Your Highness.”
Xiao Li still had no reaction, and squatted back, repeating the action of digging and eating snow just now.
Lin Qingyu said coldly: “Where is the mother who is taking care of your Royal Highness?”
The **** was in a cold sweat: “I will look for them!”
Lin Qingyu stood beside Xiao Li and looked for a while, stretched out his hand, and helped the young man up: “His Royal Highness, go into the house.”
Xiao Li allowed him to support him, not crying or making trouble, like a walking dead body. Lin Qingyu asked him to sit on a chair and took out a pulse pillow to diagnose him for his pulse. He could only see that Xiao Li had suffered a little bit of cold, other than that, it was indeed no different from ordinary people.
Lin Qingyu finally understood the meaning of the word “lost soul”. The sixth prince Xiao Li really only had a delicate body left; his inside was empty.
After a while, the palace maid and **** who was serving Xiao Li arrived late, and her expressions were more ugly.
These people are all old people serving Xiao Li. Although these six princes were prostitutes, they were not seen by the emperor, and the queen could only see him twice a year. The sixth prince could not speak, and could not speak even if he was treated harshly. As long as they do their kung fu when the queen sends someone to visit, they are used to being lazy on weekdays.
Lin Qingyu didn’t ask where they were just now, and ordered: “His Royal Highness has caught a cold, go and cook a bowl of **** soup.”
When everyone was busy going in and out, Xiao Li still sat motionless, as if it didn’t exist in this world.
Lin Qingyu prescribed Xiao Li a prescription to drive away the cold, and asked the **** to hand it over to Doctor Huang: “I know that there is no medicine in the hospital. I will ask my father to report the matter to the queen, and ask the queen to send me more medicine.”
This sentence almost killed them half their lives. “Doctor Lin, the maidservant knows that she was wrong, and the maidservant will take care of her in the future… please…”
Lin Qingyu smiled compassionately: “If that’s the case, go and talk to the queen.”
Lin Qingyu didn’t stay in Jinyang Park for a long time, and hurried all night, and returned to the capital the next day.
“Dr. Lin finally came back.” Gu Fuzhou had just arrived home, still wearing an official uniform, and greeted Lin Qingyu in the door. “It’s really gone for two days, like two days later.”
Lin Qingyu frowned: “What nonsense are you talking about.”
Gu Fuzhou held back a smile: “It’s nothing.” He took the initiative to take the fox fur that Lin Qingyu took off and hung it on his arm, “I haven’t seen it for so long, what do you want to say to me.”
“Yes.” Lin Qingyu stepped into the house, “First please let the general make me a cup of tea.”
After drinking the tea made by her husband himself, Lin Qingyu informed Gu Fuzhou about the Jinyang Garden incident one by one: “Tomorrow I will go to see the queen again, I don’t believe she will not see me.”
Gu Fuzhou listened casually: “What else?”
“and also?”
“What else do you want to tell me.”
Lin Qingyu thought for a while and asked, “What did you look like before?”
Gu Fuzhou didn’t expect that Lin Qingyu would suddenly ask this: “Are you serious? Haven’t you seen it in a dream.”
Lin Qingyu was inexplicably guilty: “I forgot.”
Gu Fuzhou raised his eyebrows: “Why don’t you forget what I said? Why do you forget my appearance?”
Lin Qingyu’s face didn’t change her face: “How can the dream and the present world be compared? Seeing people in a dream is like looking at the moon in the water and looking at flowers in the fog. There is always a layer between them. I forgot it’s normal.”
“Then you ask me, I don’t know how to describe it to you.” Gu Fuzhou said, “Besides, I haven’t used my original body for so long. In another two years, I guess I will forget my original appearance.”
Lin Qingyu was lost in thought. The Gu Fuzhou in his dream once made his eyes shine. Xiao Li felt a far cry from him, but he was also a handsome boy. Unfortunately, he was a fool.
Gu Fuzhou looked at Lin Qingyu carefully for a long time, and sighed, “So annoying.”
Lin Qingyu’s mind returned: “Why is it annoying again.”
“Because these two days, you don’t seem to miss me at all.”
Lin Qingyu: “…”
Gu Fuzhou merely complained casually, and did not expect Lin Qingyu to respond to him. After a long time, when he started to feel sleepy, he suddenly heard Lin Qingyu say: “Not necessarily.”
Gu Fuzhou didn’t react, and said slowly, “…Huh?”
Lin Qingyu’s cheeks were slightly hot and changed the subject: “I’m hungry, let’s eat.”
