The medical concubine is too difficult to tease

Chapter 29 Ice Soul
In the elegant teahouse, Liu Shuniang was wearing the jacket that Li Ruan had just bought, holding her daughter's hand, grateful.

"Alan's father thought that the money I brought was Alan's selling money. He refused to use it, and continued to go to the pier to do poor work. He fell ill after being caught by the wind, so I rented a low room at the pier. His illness recurred, so I bite the bullet and bought two sets of medicine, and now I feel better, and now I wash and wash clothes for a family on the pier, and I can earn some food and drink."

Seeing Xuegu taking out the money bag again, Liu hurriedly held it down, shedding tears in shame, "Xuegu, I can't take Missy's money again, I, I said these are not for money, you are willing to take Alan , I don’t need her to accompany me to endure hardships, it’s already a great kindness.”

"But you can't suffer like this. Alan is only so old. You and her father are both dead. What should she do?"

"Mother, is daddy sick? I miss daddy so much." Alan lowered his head and wept silently.

Although the private seat is separated by a screen, the outside is still faintly visible. Mrs. Liu did not dare to lose her composure and make the young lady be laughed at. The mother and daughter hugged their heads and wept silently.

Li Ru'an put down his teacup, looked at the anxious Xuegu, and said lightly, "Nurse, aren't you looking for a cook?"

"Ah? That's right, we came out today..." Xue Gu slapped her thigh suddenly as she spoke, and said happily, "Yes, why did I forget this, Mrs. Liu can enter the mansion and be the cook of the lady! Before On the way, Ms. Liu's wild vegetable soup made a lot of praise!"

"My mother has a vacant yard on Shangxi Street, and there is a lack of someone in charge." Li Ru'an lowered her eyes and added another sentence.

Xuegu slapped her thigh again, "That's right, then Alan's father is also just right, oh, I've caught up, Mrs. Liu, it's all over now, everything is settled."

When Li Ren saw his sister drinking tea leisurely, he secretly praised her. She said very little, but every time she pointed at the key points, and gave her opinions straightforwardly. When he came back this time, he really found that his sister had changed too much. It makes people want to protect, but the current sister can make people feel inexplicably at ease and convinced.

After deciding to move into the city tomorrow, Mrs. Liu wiped her tears and left, and they continued to go shopping. Alan was about to fly up, his smiling face seemed to own the whole world.

Li Ru'an smiled. Her biggest dream in the orphanage when she was a child was to live like Alan. She was not afraid of poverty, but she had the true love of her parents and a clean heart. It is a pity that she has not had such luck in her two lifetimes, so she didn't want to see Alan was sad and didn't want the white paper to be stained with dust.

A group of people wandered around until the hands and arms of the two servants almost couldn't fit anything, so they went back to the mansion facing the sunset, returning with a full load.

In the Chengguang Hall of the Imperial Palace, Commander Cao of the Guards stood in front of the case. Xiao Rui looked at the paper in his hand and frowned with red brows.

"Yuefeng?"

Commander Cao nodded, "I traced a dark line in the northern border, and it took a lot of people to find out that it was not King Huan who stationed the troops, and the so-called Prince Huan's personal letter was also fake. Frame King Huan."

Xiao Rui put down the letter slowly, remained silent for a while, and then asked again with blurred eyes, the trembling hands under the table betrayed his inner fluctuations.

Commander Cao knelt down and saluted, "Don't dare to lie to Your Majesty, my minister Cao Fang's words are true, if there is a little bit of falsehood, I will be as angry as the gods."

"You go down."

The hall was cold and quiet, Xiao Rui had a splitting headache, his eyes were out of focus, he didn't want to call the inner prisoner, because he deserved it!Ah Huan didn't betray, didn't hide anything, it was because of his many years of conspiracy and evil spirits, he believed others, and even suspected his own brothers who had the same father and mother.

The inner eunuch outside the door seemed to hear a whimper in the hall, but it was blown away by the wind.

In Prince Huan's mansion, Xiao Huan stared at the four names on the paper, feeling a little excited in his heart.

"The daughter of Li's parents is sixteen years old, the second young lady is also sixteen, the third young lady is fifteen, and the fourth young lady is thirteen. The general, not the fourth young lady, has seen her go out with Mrs. Zuo Xiang. That girl should be the second young lady or the third young lady. miss."

"Where are the parents and daughters of Li?"

Yi Xing looked at the general in doubt, and said hesitantly, "Didn't the general meet the Li family's daughter before? If it's a girl, how could the general not recognize her?"

Xiao Huan recalled six years ago, the little girl who could only see the top of her head, was quiet and silent, her voice was shy, her fingers on her knees twisted into twists, and she thought of Ruhua who was calm and composed again, after a while she shook her head and said, "That should not be her."

"Then there are only the second and third misses. The subordinates have already sent personal guards who recognize the girl to lurk outside the mansion. If they find anything, they will come back and report immediately." Yi Xing was very happy, and he really wanted to see that gluttonous fat girl again. .

Like the moon, like the cloud, Xiao Huan curled up his thin lips, no wonder it was called Ru Hua.

Ru Hua in the Anran Pavilion sneezed, and Xue Gu hurriedly took a blanket to cover her, and went to the side to embroider with her head bowed, with a worried expression on her face.

Li Ren leaned closer to his sister behind the desk and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, what's been wrong these two days?"

Li Ru'an remained silent. Ever since she raised the issue of retiring, Xuegu has been persuading her from time to time. When she sees that she can't do anything, she is worried and depressed. Let her get used to it for a few days. After thinking about the reason for retiring, Li Ru'an put down the book and thought about paying with his chin, or he would tell the Queen Mother that he had a hidden disease on the day he entered the palace?Although King Huan is already in his twenties, the empress dowager would not point out a wife who is in poor health to her son in a hurry, would she?

Dock Helm Main Building

A follower was looking outside the door with an anxious expression on his face. He finally saw two people rushing towards them. He frowned and looked behind them, and said solemnly, "Where are they?"

"Several Huaniangs have died in the past few days, and those who didn't die fell ill when they returned. The news about the courtyard on North Street has spread, and no one dares to come!" A man wiped the sweat from his forehead and gasped.

"The helmsman is waiting! Didn't you ask you to pay a lot of money? Regardless of appearance and figure, as long as it is a woman, why can't you find it?"

"I told all those flower-headed ladies, but they all said that they didn't make money for their lives. Several of them heard that they came to us, and they kicked me out!"

"Where are people? Where are they all dead!" A trembling roar came from the room, which made the three of them turn pale with fright, and the attendant gritted his teeth and could only go in and tell the truth.

"Mr. Ge! You don't have to drink a toast, you have to take someone to me!" Lin Gang threw the medicine bowl and shouted while hugging the quilt.

"And you! What kind of doctor are you, how many days have you been drinking this broken medicine? Why doesn't it work?"

Next to him was an old doctor with two beards. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I really tried my best. Except for the knee injury, you are fine in other places. Otherwise, I will find you some Taoist priests who can make Zhu Dan." ? They are more familiar with intractable diseases."

"Go!" Lin Gang dragged his legs and moved closer to the brazier, with mist in his mouth and a painful look on his face.

In the afternoon, Lin Qing drank away the entourage who stopped her, and stepped into the room. There were four or five braziers in the room, which was cramped and stuffy. Bulging bags on the big bed.

"Brother! It's been a few days, are you still sick?"

The trembling quilt was lifted, and Lin Qing screamed in fright at the scene in front of him, staggered back, and sat down on the ground.

Lin Gang, with a beard and a pale face, stared at her viciously, holding a naked woman in his arms, tied with a rope, and stuffed a sweat towel in his mouth. At this moment, he was looking at Lin Qing with tears on his face, shaking his head and struggling desperately, whimpering. Nasal sound.

"Brother, what are you doing! You haven't covered the quilt yet!" Lin Qing blushed with shame, got up and shouted loudly.

"It's all because of you! How did you tell me, it's just a country girl! It's me, she knows martial arts! I killed more than a dozen brothers! It's still like this!" Lin Gang thought the woman was noisy , simply knocked the person unconscious with a knock on the neck, and yelled at Lin Qing.

Lin Qing didn't care about the shame, turned to him and said, "How would I know that she has these abilities? Who will believe that a dozen men can't handle a little girl?"

"When I get better, I won't let your family off!" Lin Gang gritted his teeth and said grimly. During his illness these days, Li Yuan handed over all the important affairs of the dock to others, and even took back the seal of the helmsman. As if he was useless.

"Brother, don't be angry. After treating you well, Mr. Xiang will still value you. I'll invite you to come back with a doctor."

"Those pretentious old men have a fart! It's not as good as Zhu Dan, a Taoist priest on the mountain!"

"Brother, those people's Zhu Dan can't be eaten indiscriminately!" Lin Qing shouted anxiously. Unlike doctors who know how to make medicine, Zhu Dan Taoist priests are bluffing and deceiving in the eyes of the world. There are many examples of eating Zhu Dan to death in Daqing.

"Get out! Get out! You don't have to worry about my affairs! After I'm done, I'll settle accounts with you!"

Lin Qing walked out of the building, patted her clothes unluckily and got into the car, worried. Yue'er didn't eat or drink in the house these days, and she lost a lot of weight. , there is no way out, she still needs to ask her brother for help, but now that her brother looks like this, there is no hope.

Xuegu led Alan to the yard on West Street, and was relieved to see a family of three reunited happily.

"Sister-in-law Liu, your husband is still sick. Miss gave you some pills and took them on time. There is also a servant here. If you need anything, call him."

Liang Mu pulled his wife and daughter to kneel down to thank him, but was pulled up by Xue Gu, "It's all right, get up, the hard days are over, and everything will be fine in the future."

Several people sat for a while, listening to Liang Mu talk about the pier, before the sunset, Xuegu returned to the mansion with her mother and daughter.

"Sister Liu is really good at cooking."

After dinner, the siblings wiped their hands, and Li Ru'an nodded to Mrs. Liu and said.

"Miss Xie praised me, but I am ashamed of this servant. I have never seen any expensive ingredients. I just went to the big kitchen to get some simple ones and cook them first. The servant is still learning other dishes. I will definitely not disappoint the lady." Mrs. Liu was overjoyed and excited. endlessly.

After clearing the dining table, a few people went down to eat, and Xuegu came back to chat with the siblings.

"Alan's father said that, and I wondered why she had such a strange illness. She was frozen all over and couldn't go out. She said that there were several braziers in the house, and several doctors hadn't cured it." Xuegu skilled Embroidered insoles, talking about the strange things I heard at Liang Mu, clicking my tongue again and again.

Li Ru'an raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, "The rudder master?"

"Well, Alan's father said that he heard from a doctor on the street that he was the helmsman in charge of the pier. He was very fierce on weekdays, but then he suddenly got this strange disease. He didn't go out for a long time, and the pier was in chaos. , all kinds of theft, captivity and murder, hey, I heard people panicked."

"Why is it so chaotic outside the city? On the [-]th day, our carriage ran into bandits, and the nearby Tanjiang Wharf was also in such chaos. After that, who would dare to leave the city?" Li Ren shook his head and said.

"That is to say, this is a farmhouse outside the city, where Tanjiang steamships and cargo ships come and go, and how many people in the city depend on it for their livelihoods. I'm afraid everyone is worried about this chaos." Xuegu bit off the embroidery thread, said with a sigh.

Li Ru'an lowered his eyes to read the book, and curled his lips slightly. The owner of the rudder must be Lin Qing's elder brother Lin Gang. The medicine she gave was made by Master with arctic ice worms. These insects live in the Arctic ice all year round, and the temperature is slightly higher. It will die, it is very rare, but Baimei spent two months in the North Pole before developing this poison, entering the blood from a needle, it will keep the human body in a frozen state, and it will slow down slightly when it is exposed to fire or heat. It will quickly recover from freezing, and it is extremely tormenting. It also has a beautiful name, Ice Soul.
