The medical concubine is too difficult to tease

Chapter 26
The patrol team arrived after a while and was stunned by the scene in front of them. They first received a report that a big tree had fallen and blocked the way. Everyone came here with a machete and axe. After hearing what the servant said, they looked shocked.

Thieves?Which reckless bandit would dare to block the road at the foot of the emperor and commit murder?Is his neck stiff enough?Are there many Nine Clans?What's even more powerful is that the triangular cats, a few domestic servants of Li's house, brought down thirteen vicious men with only medicine powder? ?The captain of the patrol team rubbed his head and looked at the sky in the heavy snow, wondering if the day would change?

Seeing the gate of the capital city from a distance, Fan's heart was completely relieved. He twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand, held a few Amitabhas, and then looked at the granddaughter who was calm and calm all the way, and Li Ruyun, who was beside him with a pale face and still in shock, formed sharp contrast.

"Grandmother is ashamed. She didn't even know that Ruan had the skill of making powder, and she didn't expect that powder to kill people."

Li Ru'an turned to look at Fan, and said calmly, "In order to easily distinguish between medicinal herbs and poisonous herbs, both types of herbs are recorded in the medical books. The granddaughter returned to Beijing from the countryside, and was afraid of danger on the road, so she made some medicinal powder for self-defense. Grandma thinks that her granddaughter is today. Did you hit too hard?"

Fan just marveled at her granddaughter's pharmaceutical skills, and her extremely calm attitude afterwards. Hearing this, she shook her head and said, "No, you are right. These thieves are extremely vicious. If you didn't suppress them with medicine powder , the consequences are unimaginable, and my life is not guaranteed! If the attack is lenient, and the news spreads that our young lady has been blocked by bandits, then you and Ah Yun will also lose their reputations!"

"I've ordered you to go on. Don't tell the news about today's incident. To the patrol team, you only said that the bandits were killed by the people of Li's residence, and didn't reveal who it was. How do you think it's feasible?"

Li Ru'an nodded slightly, "Grandmother is thinking about the reputation of me and Ayun, my granddaughter understands, Grandmother Lao is worried."

"Good boy." Fan nodded reassuringly. The more she looked at her granddaughter, the more she liked her. She had a clear mind, a clear mind, and was calm and courageous. It is a blessing in disguise, but one knows it is not a blessing. It seems that the three years of hard work in the countryside have also yielded something.

The carriage was about to enter the city. Lin Qing said to Mama Cui outside the window in a low voice, "Go to the pier and see if my brother has returned. When he returns, ask him about what happened today in detail."

Mother Cui nodded, slowed down to distance herself from the carriage, turned quietly and walked quickly to the left avenue, in fact her legs and feet were also weak, since Madam asked her to bribe the driver the day before yesterday, although she did not explain the process in detail, but She also probably understood Madam's plan, and she couldn't help but secretly startled, Madam was too courageous, now it seems that Uncle Master missed it, and she doesn't know how things will develop next.

Li Ru'an rested her chin on her chin and looked out the window, chatting with Fan's Li Ruyun, and seeing Cui's mother walking away, she smiled with her lips curled up, her peach blossom eyes sparkling.

Back in Li's Mansion, everyone breathed a sigh of relief after the catastrophe. Thinking of the tragic deaths of the housewives, they inevitably felt a little bit sad and went back to the house.

"Elder Sister." Li Ruyun caught up to Li Ruan, pinched her handkerchief and said in a low voice with a frightened look on her face, "Elder Sister, can I go and sit in your room, I have something to say."

"Okay." Li Ru'an thought she was still afraid, so he patted her trembling slender back and said with a smile.

Yiyue Pavilion

"Stop it! I'm not in the mood to take care of you right now! Sit down!" Lin Qing yelled at her daughter who was about to throw the tea bowl again, and paced back and forth twisting her handkerchief with a solemn expression.

Li Ruyue put down the tea bowl with a bang, and gritted her teeth and said, "Mother, why are you panicking? Uncle hasn't shown up yet. All you're looking for are crooked melons and cracked dates. It's useless at all!"

"Although your uncle didn't show up there, those who died were all his confidants. The dead old woman even called the patrol team to deal with it. After so many people died, the government will definitely intervene. Mother is afraid that they will find out about your uncle. Then you will follow the clues and involve me, let alone you want to marry King Huan at that time, even your mother and I will not be guaranteed the position of the main wife!"

Lin Qing sat down and drank a cup of tea, suffering from a headache, "I really underestimated that girl, she learned how to make poison powder after going to the countryside for a few years! She is so vicious!"

"Mother, I don't have much time. I have to do it before she enters the palace. Uncle can't do that. Give him money and hire a quack killer! I don't believe that she, Li Ru'an, can be so lucky to escape!" Li Ruyue only thought about that radiant man. Man, she must marry him!
Lin Qing waved his hands, closed his eyes and said tiredly, "Impossible, mother has no money left, and besides, your uncle lost more than a dozen confidantes today, according to his temperament, if he doesn't bother me, it's just a matter of family affection." , it is impossible to help me again."

"Then what should I do? Mother doesn't care about me? Have you given up on me like daddy?" Li Ruyue lowered her head, tears dripping down one by one, and asked in a trembling voice.

Lin Qing squatted down, wiped away the tears on her daughter's face with distress, "Don't cry, Yue'er, you are the flesh that fell from your mother, how could you ignore you, give mother some time, I will go to your father's place tomorrow to talk about it .”

Li Ruyue stood up crying and ran out of the house, Lin Qing chased to the door and asked the maid to follow quickly, walked back to the stool and sat down tiredly, dazed.

An Ran Court

"What do you want to say?" Li Ru'an took a sip of the tea that Alan brought over, and asked straightforwardly.

Li Ruyue frowned, thought for a moment before saying in a low voice, "Eldest sister, I, I seem to know who that person is, it shouldn't be a bandit."

Li Ru'an raised his eyebrows, put down the tea bowl, looked directly at the trembling person, and said in surprise, "How do you know?"

"The man yelled the phrase, uh, gram, gram..."

"Grandpa's?"

Li Ruyun's cheeks were slightly red, she nodded slowly, and said hesitantly, "Yes, that's the sentence. I heard the voice, and it seems to be Mrs. Lin's brother." She will never forget that day at the beginning of the year, when she came out from the Qiyue Pavilion, When she ran into the person who entered the door, the smell of sweat was mixed with the smell of alcohol, and her obscene gaze became her nightmare every night.

After waiting for a long time without any response, Li Ruyun raised his eyes to look at the eldest sister, and saw her calm face, her peach blossom eyes were as deep as a lake.

"Sister, do you know that those are not bandits?" Li Ruyun's eyes widened in shock.

Li Ru'an nodded, looked outside the door, and said in a low voice, "Don't let my nanny know." It took her so much effort to persuade Xuegu who came back to find Lin Qing to go desperately, if she knew what happened today. It was Lin Qing's fault again, and Xuegu estimated that she would go to Yiyue Pavilion with a kitchen knife.

Li Ruyun was puzzled, "I don't understand, since elder sister knows, why don't you want to expose her?"

Li Ru'an got up, walked to the ink and bamboo painting, stared at it without saying a word, in fact, she had always had an intuition that there was something strange about Gao's death, and in Yuanshen's memory, Gao was a doctor, and healers would naturally be better than ordinary people I paid more attention to my own health, but later I got a little cold, and I could recover after a few posts of dispelling wind prescriptions, but I started to be weak and bedridden for no reason. Even Gao Kuang, the imperial physician at the time, couldn't diagnose why. There was no improvement, and in less than two years, Yuanshen watched helplessly as his mother became thinner and thinner, and finally passed away.

"Because I still have some things I don't understand, and I need Lin Qing to help me out." Li Ru'an turned around and smiled at Li Ruyun, "Can Ah Yun keep this matter a secret for me?"

Although Li Ruyun was puzzled, she still nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, elder sister, I will keep my mouth shut."

At night, Mama Cui returned to the Moon Pavilion out of breath, her throat was so dry, she waved her hands to Lin Qing who came up to her anxiously, swallowed her saliva and said, "Master Cui didn't go back, and the slaves didn't see you until it was dark." So, when I asked those people, they only said that my uncle went out at noon, and the servants came back before the curfew."

Lin Qing stomped his foot and shook the handkerchief, "What should I do?" Walking around the table, she said to Cui's mother, "I guess I'm angry and went to West Street again. You can go again tomorrow morning, and you must wait for him. Ask about things and come back."

But at this moment, the entire land was covered with snow, shaking as brightly as day, beside the avenue outside the city, under the branches covered with heavy snow, an arched snow-capped mountain moved slightly.

The next day, Li Yuan went to have breakfast with Fan and asked about what happened yesterday.

"How can An really know medicine? Can she also make medicine? Is what mother said true?"

Looking at the shocked son, Fan nodded, "I was also terrified at the time. Everyone was so frightened that their legs limp, but she was the only one standing beside a pile of corpses, as if nothing had happened. It takes a lot of calmness to have such a state.”

Li Yuan knew that Gao had taught his eldest daughter medical skills before, but he always sneered at it, thinking that women who study medicine can achieve great things, but read it like a book of poetry, but he never thought that his eldest daughter, who he had neglected for many years, could learn so much You must know that many doctors and even ordinary doctors in the palace can only diagnose pulse and acupuncture, and prescribe some herbal prescriptions, but those who can make pills and powders are mostly old people in their sixties, and there are very few young people.

"We have been too negligent and indebted to Ruan these years. This child is sensible and has a future. From now on, you take care of the people next to you. I will turn a blind eye to the little troubles she did in the past. , but it is different now, if An is burdened with the future of the Li family's honor and disgrace, don't be as biased as before. Ah Yue was indulged by her mother to be too narrow-minded, her vision is too small, and she is not open-minded. The future prospects are useless, I will take back all those careful thoughts of you and Lin Qing!"

Seeing Fan's face was angry, Li Yuan quickly got up and bowed, nodded and said, "What mother taught me is that my son will be more disciplined."

Linglong Pavilion, the servant girl stepped into the inner room with small steps, saw the second young lady sitting at the table with a gloomy face, and said in a low voice cautiously, "Miss, the Prime Minister is in the Moon Pavilion, calling you over."

Li Ruyue raised her eyes suddenly, and Danfeng's eyes were full of surprises, "Daddy called me? Hurry up! Help me to do my makeup!" Looking at the clothes on her body, she got up and walked quickly into the inner room with a smile on her face, holding on to her slightly messy bun. Daddy changed his mind?

"Yue'er has met daddy, mother." Wearing a pink embroidered shirt, a white lake crepe skirt, a fox fur jacket, complicated hair bun, emerald jewels, Li Ruyue with delicate makeup on her face, she turned towards the chief seat, Li Yuan. Yingying bent her knees.

"Yue'er is here, come and sit." Li Yuan stroked his beard and nodded, looking at his favorite daughter in the past, he moved lightly with lotus steps, bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows, lightly twisted his hands at the hem of his clothes, and turned his knees slightly sideways Sitting on a pear wood chair.

Li Yuanming clearly felt that Yue'er's posture in the past was well-regulated, impeccable and impeccable, but compared with the eldest daughter who seemed to behave casually but gracefully, why did she seem a bit pretentious at this moment?

Li Ruyue looked at Lin Qing with expectant eyes, and seeing his dignified expression shook her head secretly, she gritted her teeth, smiled and said to Li Yuan, "Daddy, Yue'er has learned a new poem recently, do you want to listen to it?"

"Let's wait another day. Daddy is here today. He has something important to tell your mother and daughter." Li Yuan put down his tea bowl and said seriously.
