No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 422
"Madam, the person sent to invite the Young Madam has returned." The maid outside the door bowed and reported.

Mrs. Chun'an didn't think too much, and said quickly: "Mingxiang is back? Let her in quickly."

The maid raised her head and looked at her with some embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "Ma'am, the young lady hasn't come back yet?"

"What's going on?" Mrs. Chun Anbo's face darkened when she heard this, and she frowned, "Let him come in and answer."

A moment later, the steward who was sent to Luo's house to pick up Luo Mingxiang hurried in, and before he could say anything, Mrs. Chun'anbo asked, "Why didn't Mingxiang come back with you? You didn't tell her about Zhaolin?" Is something wrong?"

The steward hurriedly said: "Returning to Madam, the little one said it. It's just that the young lady is not doing well at Luo's house. Mrs. Luo said that the doctor told the young lady to rest in bed and don't move easily. Afraid of scaring the young lady, Mrs. Luo told the young lady Come back to see the situation of the son first, and then go to report."

Madam Chun'an was a little displeased, but thinking that Luo Mingxiang was pregnant now, she had no choice but to give up.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Chun'an said: "That's all."

The steward glanced at Xu Zhaolin who was lying on the bed, and asked, "Then madam... what should I tell the Luo family?"

Mrs. Chun'an waved her hand and said: "No need, I have already sent someone to the Luo family." She asked people to go to the Luo family to ask the Luo family to help find a famous doctor, and the Luo family would naturally know about Zhaolin's situation.

"You go down first." Mrs. Chun Anbo frowned and said in a low voice, "It's the critical time, why did Mingxiang get sick? She was pregnant and didn't stay at home well. During this time, she went to Luo What are you running at home?"

Xu Zhaolin was upset by the pain and didn't want to hear her nagging. He covered his forehead with his intact hand and frowned and said, "Mother, the Luo family is busy with the marriage with the Su family. Didn't you also agree to let Ming Xiang go back to her natal family?"

Madam Chun Anbo remained silent, she was indeed the one who agreed and even persuaded her daughter-in-law to return to her natal home more often.After all, Luo Mingxiang was not the biological daughter of the Luo family, so she naturally hoped that her relationship with the Luo family's father, son and brothers would be better.

But at this time, when she was needed, she couldn't find anyone, but she still felt unavoidably uncomfortable.

"Ma'am, someone came from the old lady's side, asking if the prince is awake? How is the injury?" Another maid asked outside the door.

Mrs. Chun Anbo took a deep breath and said: "Go and call back, just say that the prince is awake. The old lady is not feeling well, so don't bother her to come here, and wait for the prince to recover before going to pay the old lady well."

"Yes." The maid bowed respectfully, and Mrs. Chun'anbo sighed at her son and said, "You said you...what are you doing running out at this critical moment? Your grandmother came out to interrogate you in person just now. The people around me, fortunately, I didn't let him say anything he shouldn't say. The old lady was so anxious that she suffered from dizziness again, so I persuaded me to go back. I told you earlier, that bitch Keeping it is a disaster, let you..."

"Mother!" Xu Zhaolin interrupted her, looked up at the door a few times, and then lay down again.

Mrs. Chun Amber also found that she had slipped her words, so she had no choice but to swallow the words that came to her lips.

Although the Xu family is her son's yard here, there are quite a few people from the Luo family in this yard. If the Luo family listens to it...

Xu Zhaolin lowered his voice and said, "Yu Niang has been with me for several years, and now she has a child, how can I bear it..."

Mrs. Chun'anbo's expression also eased, and she sighed helplessly, "Why do you think you just..."

Although she could be cruel to the woman outside, she couldn't do it to her grandson.It's just that this is a hidden danger after all, so she can't let her not think about it.

In the Prince Regent's Mansion, Luo Junyao was greeting Xu Zhaolin's eighth generation ancestors.

Xie Yan was sitting while flipping through the memorials, and while listening to her crisp scolding, she couldn't help but smile slightly on her lips, and she didn't seem to be disturbed at all.

When Luo Junyao finally stopped, he just walked over with a cup of tea and said, "Aren't you thirsty? Drink some tea to moisten your throat."

Luo Jun shook his head and took a sip from his hand, then looked up at him and said, "You said Xu is not a scumbag?"

Xie Yan casually put the teacup on one side of the table, and said with a smile, "It can be seen that she deserves death for being able to scold the princess from yesterday to today."

Only then did Luo Junyao hum in satisfaction, Xie Yan put his hands on her shoulders and said: "Don't be arrogant because of that kind of popularity, I heard from Linglan that you and Jinxing did something to block the way today?"

Hearing what he said, Luo Junyao remembered something, lowered his head, took out a bunch of things from his sleeve pocket and threw them on the table.

"Xu Zhaolin's things are disgusting!"

Xie Yan glanced at it casually, a few banknotes were broken, and there were things like jade pendants and hairpins.

"You can also exchange some money, and the princess will not lose money this time." Xie Yan said.

Luo Junyao poked him, "Do you really think I'm a robber?"

Xie Yan pinched her slender fingers comfortingly, and said, "What you did today can be regarded as drastic. It will completely cut off Xu Zhaolin's future path. There is no need to take this kind of person to heart."

Luo Jun shook his eyes, and Xie Yan smiled lightly and said, "The Chun'an House is just an ordinary Lord. Although Xu Zhaolin is the son of Chun'an, since the previous dynasty abolished the Lord, the meritorious service of this dynasty is only third-class. He will only have one gift at most in the future." Zizhi Shaoyin, the title of the Xu family is over in his generation. Therefore, he must take part in the imperial examination to become an official. If he makes great contributions in the future, the title of the Chun'an House may continue."

In the later stages of the past dynasties, the clans were always full of nobles and nobles, and the waste of money became a burden on the country.Therefore, both Dongling and Dasheng in the previous dynasty deliberately suppressed the number of nobles in the clan, and the ancestors of this dynasty were even more harsh on the nobles.

Luo Junyao tilted his head slightly to think for a moment, and said somewhat clearly: "If he can't take the imperial examination, Chun'an Bofu will not pass on the title to him?" In fact, it is not considered a title. Lord, it is the last grace to these meritorious children.

If after this generation, you can't get the title or high official again by your own ability, then you can only become an ordinary official family or even a commoner without a title.

Therefore, the Xu family deliberately cultivated Xu Zhaolin these years in order to enable him to successfully enter the court and become an official.If he can't make great achievements, no one in a place like Shangyong will care about a third-rank civil servant.It would be icing on the cake if he still has a real official position, if only this is not as useful as a real power civil servant from the fifth rank.

"The Xu family will change their sons?" Luo Jun raised his eyebrows and asked.

Xie Yan said: "This is inevitable, unless the Luo family is willing to come forward to support him, it will naturally be very different."

Luo Jun rolled his eyes, the Luo family was crazy to support him, the Luo family only wanted to make trouble now.

Xie Yan patted her on the back and said, "That's it. Once the eldest girl and Xu Zhaolin reconcile, Xu Zhaolin will have no choice but to collapse. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless he dares to go to the battlefield and make a contribution." Xie Yan said.

Luo Junyao laughed mockingly, even if he dared it would be useless, Xu Zhaolin's hand had already been broken.In the future, it will be difficult to even hold a pen, let alone a knife.

What's more, she didn't think Xu Zhaolin had the courage.

How many people have fought in ancient times, unless he is not afraid of death.

"He won't hold on to my eldest sister, will he?" Luo Junyao suddenly became vigilant.

Xie Yan said: "There is no need to worry about this. Does Yaoyao think that the Luo family can't solve this problem?"

Luo Junyao laughed when he thought about it, if his father and elder brother couldn't even solve this trivial matter, it would be in vain for him to have been in charge of the Ding Guojun for so many years.

"Reporting to Wangfei, there are people from Chun'an Bo's residence." The steward outside the door reported.

Luo Jun shook his head and looked outside the door, "Chun'anbo Mansion? What are they doing here at the Regent's Mansion?"

The steward held a post in his hand and said respectfully: "Princess Wang, someone from Chun'anbo Mansion said that their family's eldest son hurt his hand. I heard that there is a miracle doctor in our mansion. I want to ask the prince and princess for help. Please ask the doctor Go see."

Luo Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "That's a bad coincidence, Miracle Doctor Xue went back to his hometown for the New Year, and he hasn't come back yet."

It's not that Luo Junyao deliberately shirks. According to Dr. Xue's words, he has already done everything that the Empress Dowager can do for her illness, and no matter what she does, she can't turn things around.Now the Empress Dowager is being watched by many imperial physicians in the palace, and Divine Physician Xue can't exert much strength.This time when I go back, I am not in a hurry to come back, and I am indeed not in Shangyong at this time.

After hearing this, the steward stopped sending the post, and bowed to him: "Your subordinate understands, now go back to the people in Chun'anbo Mansion."

In the Chun'anbo mansion, Mrs. Chun'anbo's face became even more gloomy after hearing the report from the steward sent to the regent's mansion.

"How could it be such a coincidence? Is the miracle doctor really not here?"

The steward said: "Madam, I heard that the genius doctor is from Bingzhou, and he went back to celebrate the New Year years ago, and the genius doctor is already old. If he came back after the first month, he would not be in Shangyong anyway."

Mrs. Chun'anbo's face was slightly gloomy, and a doctor sitting outside also raised his head when he heard this, and said: "Mrs. Xu, it is true that Divine Doctor Xue is not in Shangyong. I heard that he will not be back until March. Your son's injury is not serious. Can't wait until then."

Mrs. Chun Anbo quickly stood up and walked outside, lowered her voice and said: "Doctor Luo, the child's injury..."

Imperial Physician Luo sighed, shook his head and said: "Madam, let me tell you the truth, your son's injury... Even if Divine Doctor Xue is here, there will be no other results. Unless he really has a panacea that can revive human flesh and bones, But if that's the case..." Imperial Physician Luo shook his head and didn't finish speaking, but Mrs. Chun'an understood what he meant.

If Divine Physician Xue really had such abilities, why would the Empress Dowager still be lying in the palace just hanging her breath?
Mrs. Chun'anbo also gradually became desperate. This imperial doctor Luo was invited by the Luo family's face, and his medical skills are also among the best in the imperial hospital, especially specializing in trauma.Except for him, the diagnosis of the previous two doctors is also generally the same.

Could it be that he really wanted to see his most promising son ruined like this?

Mrs. Chun'anbo's eyes gradually turned red, Imperial Physician Luo stood up and said, "Ma'am, it's better to discuss it with the family early, the son's injury can be healed early, maybe it will be better, if it is delayed for a long time..."

"Thank you, Imperial Physician Luo, please sit down for a while, and I will discuss it with my family."

Imperial Physician Luo was not in a hurry, "Madam, please go ahead."

Not to mention how the Xu family made a fuss over Xu Zhaolin's matter, in the evening the Xu family sent someone again to invite Luo Mingxiang back, saying that the doctor wanted to cut open the flesh for Xu Zhaolin to take out the bone pieces inside, or ask the young lady to go back It's better to make the son feel at ease.

The Xu family had obviously accepted the fact that Xu Zhaolin's hand was really useless.

The Su family was naturally unwilling to let Luo Mingxiang go back, but Luo Mingxiang held his mother back.

Luo Mingxiang whispered a few words to Su Shi in private, and returned to Chun'anbo Mansion with the servants in charge who came to pick her up.

The Chun'anbo mansion was already in a haze at this time, and Luo Mingxiang noticed that the atmosphere was extraordinary as soon as he entered the door.

In the past, Luo Mingxiang always felt that the Chun'anbo mansion was harmonious, which was much better than before his father and two elder brothers came back.

It wasn't until something happened today that I realized that it wasn't that the people in Chun'anbo Mansion were naturally harmonious, but because they didn't have much capital to make trouble in the past.

Xu Zhaolin is the eldest son of the Chun'anbo family, he is valued by the Chun'anbo couple and the old lady, and his talent and ability are higher than the others, and he is married to the Luo family.

In this way, what else can the rest of the Xu family do?
Naturally, she must flatter her, the wife of the eldest son, everywhere.

After all, as long as the Luo family does not fall, when Xu Zhaolin takes charge of the Xu family in the future, she, the daughter of the Luo family, will be able to take care of them better than Xu Zhaolin, the head of the family.

As soon as Luo Mingxiang stepped into the hall, many eyes fell on her.

"Father, mother." Luo Mingxiang walked slowly into the hall with downcast eyes, as if he didn't notice the gazes of everyone, "Mother was afraid that I was worried, so she just told me that something happened to Zhaolin. What's going on?"

Mrs. Chun'anbo hurriedly said: "Mingxiang, you are still pregnant, don't worry." Now this daughter-in-law and future grandson are already the son's most important amulet. Mrs. Chun'anbo looked at Luo Mingxiang's His eyes became more and more eager and concerned.

Luo Mingxiang leaned on the girl who was supporting him, and asked hastily: "What's going on? How come..."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, brother is fine." A young man sitting on the side said, "It's just... I'm afraid I won't be able to write anymore."

"What?!" Luo Mingxiang staggered slightly, leaning against the girl, looking weaker and weaker.

"Method!" Mrs. Chun Anbo was afraid that something might happen to her, so she hurriedly scolded the young man who spoke.

He then commanded the crowd: "Hurry up and help the young lady to sit down and rest!" But I was a little annoyed in my heart, this daughter-in-law is usually stable and generous, and can withstand big scenes, why is she so fragile today?

Luo Mingxiang shook his head and said, "No, I'm going to see him first!"

Seeing that she cared so much about Xu Zhaolin, Mrs. Chun Anbo felt a little more comfortable, and sighed, "Forget it, go and have a look. The imperial doctor will treat his wounds soon, so you persuade him. Treat the wounds first." , maybe...it’s not that serious.”

Luo Mingxiang lowered his eyes, and said to Chun'anbo and his wife with a slight blessing, "Yes, I know, I will take my leave first."

"Go."
