169.(2/3)
Of course, I was so tired that I could not bring weapons when I met the prince.
"It's you!"
This timid person is the envoy of the Imperial Hospital Li.
He obviously has not been doing well these days. His clothes were wrinkled against his body, and there were a few blood stains on his collar. His eyes were frightened, and he would tremble every time he saw the blood on his clothes.
Blood belongs to the emperor, so of course he should be called the late emperor now.
Doctor Li watched helplessly as the prince ordered the Jinyiwei to push him away from the emperor's bed, and then Lu Zhang died under the knife. Doctor Li fainted on the spot.
After waking up, he was locked in an abandoned palace, and other unlucky colleagues in the Imperial Hospital and close-up palace servants in the Past Emperor's bedroom.
In the next few days, the palace ladies were released one after another, leaving only a few imperial physicians.
The guards did not short of food and drink, nor did they interrogate them, but the fact that the prince was about to ascend the throne still scared them and was anxious all day long.
This morning, an imperial physician could not stand hanging himself and committed suicide. The Imperial Guard discovered it early and did not die.
When Li Yuanzhang was taken away, he felt relieved, and he always felt happy whether he was dead or alive.
Then he found out that he was in the Eastern Palace. Although these Jinyiwei ignored him, he still felt a little hopeful. He was the most skilled person in the Imperial Hospital. He was also highly valued by Lu Zhang at the time. Now that his arrogance has come back, Doctor Li felt that the prince might still use his own. As long as he cried and begged for mercy, he would always escape.
He waited uneasy for a while, but only heard a shout from outside, "The miracle doctor is here."
Doctor Li almost jumped up from the stool, and then was forced back by the cold gaze of the Jinyiwei. He was in a mess and his life-saving ability was unreliable. How could he not panic?
During this period, he also heard the sound of the beam of the room, but when he looked up, he had nothing.
Doctor Li was already a frightened bird, and any sound could scare him very much.
After a while, footsteps finally came from outside the door. Doctor Li tried hard to squeeze out a smile, and thought of a little bit of words, but the person who came in was Liu Dan.
"you……"
Doctor Li was stunned for a while, and when he saw Liu Dan's angry face, he could not react for a long time.
Seeing him like this, Liu Dan knew that Doctor Li didn't take what happened back then, or even took it seriously at all, which made him even more angry.
A few years ago, Liu Dan was injured in rescue, and the emperor ordered the imperial physician to come for treatment.
At that time, Liu Dan had no soldiers, so he could only rely on his salary and the emperor's reward. Doctor Li was not the hospital envoy of the Imperial Hospital at that time. Every time he came to the door, he felt that Liu Dan had not given enough "hard work" to him. But this was something the emperor personally asked about and could not refuse to give him to the low-level medical officer of the Imperial Medical Office. Doctor Li was very dissatisfied with this. Later, he received the instructing of some court officials and knew that someone wanted to suppress the military general who suddenly rose up, so he took the gift with the flow and took the gift perfunctory while treating Liu Dan's injuries.
Anyway, the injury has been cured and it seems healed on the surface. As for why it cannot recover to the same way as before, it is because the injury is too serious.
Liu Dan's injury is on his waist, abdomen and arms. If he cannot heal, he will hinder his exertion of force when holding weapons and will also have an impact on riding a horse.
——What value can a general have if he cannot kill the enemy on the battlefield?
Fortunately, Liu Dan's military achievements were shot by the Northern Xinjiang, and he was injured twice. He was very experienced in how to recover the wound, otherwise he would have ended up as a false title.
Although he found that Doctor Li was cheating him, it was difficult to report this to Lu Zhang. Not to mention that Lu Zhang believed in this Imperial Doctor very much at that time, and the prescription he prescribed to Liu Dan was not good enough and was not very symptomatic, which led to slow recovery. It was not that the medicine used in the prescription was toxic, so he could make it clear in a few words.
If you want to point out the thoughts and actions of Dr. Li, you must at least have a respectable Xinglin master to convince everyone. Where can Liu Dan go to find someone? In addition, he knew that there was someone behind Dr. Li, so he endured it.
When Liu Dan recovered from his injuries and became the emperor's confidant and became more eye-catching in the court, the desire for marriages from various families to show favors followed one after another. What happened later made Liu Dan completely see the officialdom. Doctor Li and the matter of plotting against him that day were put aside. There were too many knives flying from openly to secretly, and it was impossible to investigate.
This does not mean that General Liu has forgotten.
Looking at Doctor Li's timid look, Liu Dan clenched his fist and restrained himself from punching him in the face.
Manager Chen followed in and took out a document with a smile and handed it to Liu Dan.
"General Liu, this is the investigation of the events of the Jinyiwei in the past. His Highness the Crown Prince handed over Li Yuanshi and this document to you, and you can deal with it."
Doctor Li finally remembered something and his face turned pale.
***
In the main hall, Mo Li took the silver needle and said in a deep voice: "Although the prince was too worried recently, a certain burden that had been suppressing his heart was gone, so his condition did not worsen. Next, as long as the warm jade stayed away, he would avoid being very happy and angry, and then recuperate properly. Within three months, the prince should have no worries about his life."
Yulan was happy when she heard this.
The prince opened his eyes and looked at Mo Li and said, "The doctor has great kindness to me, and he only accepts a small amount of medical treatment every time. He is really sorry. The doctor is not favored by rare treasures. What about famous calligraphy and paintings and lonely books?"
The palace servants immediately put in exquisite lacquer plates in hand, and there were rolls of calligraphy, paintings and books.
Yulan pointed to one of the plates and said that these were several palace medical books left by Chen Chao.
Mo Li couldn't help but reach out and turn over a few pages.
"If the doctor likes it, you can take it away. All the lonely palaces have manuscripts left." The prince said gently.
Mo Li paused and said hesitantly: "I am traveling outside and living in a place without a fixed place. I may be damaged by this lonely man."
The prince was about to ask someone to take out the manuscript, but Mo Li said, "Crown Prince, can I allow me to live in the palace for three days and read these medical books all over?"
"What's wrong with this?"
The prince agreed immediately.
In fact, the eunuchs and maids from the three princes to the Eastern Palace were eager for Mo Li to stay and not leave after she was settled.
"Pick a secluded palace, prepare good inkstones, paper and pen, and..."
Before the prince finished speaking, he was stopped by Yu Lan. The palace maid first accused him and then complained: "Do you still have to worry about this? General Manager Chen must supervise it personally and do the matter properly. How dare you let Your Highness worry?"
When the prince saw Mo Li, he looked frowning and disapproving, and smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just ask."
Mo Li put away the silver needle and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something, so she stopped and asked hesitantly: "Apart from these medical books, I also want to see all the mountains, rivers and geography. I won't take it away, I just look at it."
Although the prince was surprised by Mo Li's request, he was not at all obvious and agreed immediately.
Mo Li was very satisfied with this harvest. She bypassed Ah Hu who was squatting in the corner of the palace to play with the aromatherapy balls and left with the palace servants happily.
Manager Chen got the news and immediately took the people to arrange the arrangements. The speed was so fast that Mo Li stepped into the secluded courtyard of the East Palace, all the decorations and books were sent over.
The palace maids were still sorting out the newly hung plain curtains and laying thick blankets on the ground.
Mo Li walked around the yard and everything was finished.
As if he knew that Mo Li didn't like someone around, these eunuchs and palace maids bowed and retreated outside the courtyard.
Mo Li silently pushed the window open a crack.
Soon, a strong wind passed by, the windows opened and closed, and there was an extra person in the room.
"This room is much better than Liu Qiandai's mansion." Meng Qishu leaned comfortably on the Taishi chair and touched the fragrant pastry on the table.
"Bang."
Meng Qi's hand was beaten back by the doctor.
"There is hot water in the compartment, go wash." Mo Li slowly picked up a piece of lotus crispy and ate it first.
Meng Qi opened his mouth and silently went to the compartment behind the screen.
The palace servant prepared two large hot pots of water, one for washing and the other for drinking.
When Meng Qi came out, only half of the lotus crisp was left on the plate. He looked at the Mo Li in shock.
The palace-made dim sum is three pieces per plate, and it is very small. It looks good when it is placed like this. This half piece is left by Mo Li, who remembers Meng Qi, and barely leaves it.
"There is something else." Mo Li looked at Meng Qi for no reason and felt guilty.
Meng Qi took away the remaining walnut crisps and pea yellow and served them on the plate.
With food, Meng Qi restored his calm and elegant hermit style and deliberately kept him in a silence, saying, "Does the doctor know who the prince gave to Liu Dan?"
"Send it?" Mo Li recalled and asked in confusion, "Aren't General Liu meeting someone?"
Meng Qi waved his hand and then told the grudge between Doctor Li and Liu Dan.
The heavy gift received by Doctor Li came from Huaiping Bo's Mansion. This Huaiping Bo was actually a title granted by the Chu Dynasty. There were many such noble families in the Qi Dynasty. As long as they did not stand up to resist Lu Zhang's usurpation of the throne, they would still be preserved. In order to show that he treated his subjects differently from the Chu Dynasty, Lu Zhang did not attack them.
However, these people's families are all eating the food of the emperor, which is not as good as before. No matter how heavy gifts are, they cannot afford.
The prince was very concerned about Liu Dan, the general who had made great contributions to the rescue of the emperor. He discovered that Doctor Li was not doing anything, but Liu Dan found something wrong without trying to do so, so he did not continue to intervene. Instead, he went forward to investigate the person who instructed Doctor Li.
The gift was not given by Huaiping Bo’s Mansion at all. The prince just acted as a role to re-election to gain benefits.
This property came from a local official who came to Beijing to work, but this person was also used. He thought that this gift was handed over to a man from the Ministry of Personnel, which would allow him to move his position and move him from the bitter and cold land of the northern border. That's right, this local official knew Liu Dan before, and he had some grudges, but this matter really had nothing to do with him.
The person who cheated other people's property and borrowed Huai Pingbo to give gifts to Tai Doctor Li did not forget to put a few more layers of disguise on himself. The person who followed the clues to investigate went around the fifth and sixth rank officials of the Sixth Department several times, and finally determined that the mastermind was from the Ministry of War.
He didn't know Liu Dan, so he was so determined that he was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that several Shangguan talked about Liu Dan during a banquet. This situation was not only gossip, but also a "suggestion" to his subordinates. Naturally, some people who were too smart would help "solve the trouble" and gain Shangguan's appreciation.
The matter was that I found out that I was stuck here, because among the group of people who were "gossiping for nothing", there might be only one who really didn't like Liu Dan and wanted to cause trouble for him, and the other few people did say it casually.
Isn’t this kind of thing that has no evidence or is impossible to identify just a bad debt?
Mo Li frowned when she heard this, and finally asked, "How did you know so clearly? Have you peeked at the document handed over to Liu Dan?"
"Uh, General Liu's face was wrong. I was curious for a moment. Of course, I have put the documents back now," Meng Qi defended in concealment, and soon praised the pea yellow in his hand for its excellent taste, much better than the shop in Dongshi.
Mo Li left him half a piece of lotus crisp, and Meng Qi felt that he had to be considerate than the doctor. He thought about it and then left one piece for each.
Much stronger than half a piece!
"Doctor?"
The pea yellow is very small and easy to break. Meng Qi held one end of it, but Mo Li didn't think much about it, so she ate the pea yellow with Meng Qi's hand.
Soft, glutinous, sweet, and very delicate.
