Song Yi

Chapter 279 Peace is Blessing
Lin Qingdai lifted the hot water from the stove, poured a cup of tea for Du Wenhao herself, and said, "I learned how to make a small bed for my future nephew with the old Zhangtou who is opposite me. A small bed made of strips is softer than a bed made of strips, and it will not hurt the little hands of the child."

Du Wenhao did not expect that Lin Qingdai, who never does embroidery work on weekdays, would be so careful. The child was only two months pregnant, and Lin Qingdai was already doing something for the child. Thinking of this, Du Wenhao couldn't help but look at it gratefully. Look at Lin Qingdai.

"You came here to see me, not just to have a drink with me?" After all, it was a bit chilly after returning to the room, Lin Qingdai took a long blue coat from the hanger and put it on.

"I've been unsure about one thing, so I asked my sister to discuss it."

Just as he was talking, Yingzi and two kitchen staff came in, and Du Wenhao stopped talking.

Yingzi happily said to Du Wenhao: "Young master, you are lucky today. When you went out to buy in the kitchen, you happened to meet a roe that someone just hunted from the mountain. I bought it for you to drink. Since the young master and his wife want to drink today, let's drink it." Let the kitchen prepare and serve." He said and asked the waiter to bring the side dishes and the warmed plum wine and put them on the table.

When Du Wenhao heard Yingzi talking about the young master and his wife, his heart moved, and he glanced at Lin Qingdai, she also heard something was wrong, and scolded: "Yingzi's speech is out of order, and he can't change it all the time, call me shopkeeper, you can't call me madam anymore. "

"Oh," Yingzi looked at the two of them with a smile on his lips, and said in a low voice, "It's not a matter of time!"

"What nonsense! You're getting more and more unruly!" Lin Qingdai blushed and said angrily.

Du Wenhao laughed loudly: "Yingzi is really sensible, and she is becoming more and more graceful. Sister Qingdai, after hearing this, Yingzi is thinking of getting married. Should we tell Yingzi about someone else?"

Yingzi blushed: "Master, what are you talking about! I am Madam's maid, and I have been with Madam all my life!"

Du Wenhao's heart skipped a beat, that is to say, if he marries Lin Qingdai in the future, he will also marry this pretty maid.

After Yingzi and the others left, Lin Qingdai poured wine for Du Wenhao, and after sitting down, she looked at Du Wenhao with a half-smile: "I see, you just failed in the palace."

Du Wenhao laughed and said: "Sister Qingdai, there is a saying that men are not bad and women are not loving, haven't you heard of it?"

"Hmph! You're the one who talks a lot! Well, tell me, what exactly are you looking for?"

"There is something wrong. I did something today, but I have been hesitating in my heart. I don't know if I did it right. This is a choice between medical ethics and likes and dislikes." Du Wenhao picked up a boiled peanut and put it on the bed. In his mouth, he said thoughtfully.

"Is it Chen Meiren's business?" After all, it was Lin Qingdai, Du Wenhao said all the way, and Lin Qingdai immediately knew Du Wenhao's intention.

Du Wenhao nodded, raised his cup to drink with Lin Qingdai, clicked his tongue twice, and then filled his and Lin Qingdai's cups again.

Lin Qingdai got up and walked to the bed, took out a bag of things, walked over and handed it to Du Wenhao.

Du Wenhao was puzzled, and Lin Qingdai signaled him to open it.

Du Wenhao opened it carefully, and found that it was a yellowed handkerchief. When he opened it, there was nothing else on the handkerchief, but a plain handkerchief. There was a black mark in the middle of the handkerchief, which felt a little hard.Du Wenhao graduated from a forensic medicine major, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "Is there blood on it?"

Lin Qingdai nodded, took the handkerchief, and said, "Yes, it was my father who vomited a mouthful of blood before he died."

Seeing Lin Qingdai's serious expression, Du Wenhao restrained his smile unconsciously.He had never heard Lin Qingdai mention his parents, he only knew that an unfortunate marriage could kill a woman once, since she didn't mention it, how dare he ask anything else?
Lin Qingdai seemed to be brought back to that long memory by time: "When I was 11 years old, my father fell ill, and I went to many doctors, but they said he couldn't be cured. My mother shed tears all day long. One day , came an old man, kind-hearted, I still remember his eyes at that time, like a sharp sword that seemed to be able to penetrate a person's chest, he came to my mother, saying that he wanted to see a doctor for my father. For some reason, my mother But I wanted to drive that man out of the house. At that time, I didn't understand, so I asked my mother, why did you refuse to let someone come to rescue my father?"

Du Wenhao saw tears in Lin Qingdai's eyes, so he handed Lin Qingdai his silk handkerchief, Lin Qingdai took it and smiled at Du Wenhao, and gently wiped the corners of his eyes.

"My mother didn't tell me anything, but just let the man go. Later, the voices of the mother and the man woke up the father who was sleeping in the room, and he asked who it was. I was quick to say that the man looked like, Said that he was going to see a doctor for my father, but my mother refused to let me. The room was silent for a while, and I only heard my father say, let him in. My mother had no choice but to let that man in, and my mother took me in another Sitting in a room, I still clearly remember that my mother was shaking all the time, she was holding my hand tightly, talking to herself all the time, what are you doing when you come back?"

"What happened later?" Du Wenhao asked.

Lin Qingdai took a deep breath, as if she wanted to throw away a heavy object: "Later, that person came out and told my mother that my father's illness was beyond cure, it was a heart disease, but this heart knot was too severe. , can’t be untied, so there is no salvation.” After speaking, he shook his head and left.I saw that person's eyes were red, as if he had cried, and on the third day after that person left, my father really went.Before going, I vomited this mouthful of blood.Let my mother take me to his bed and tell me, don't be too stubborn in your life, don't think that what is right in everyone's eyes is really right, and everything you do must be done correctly. I am worthy of my conscience. "

Du Wenhao didn't know why Lin Qingdai suddenly mentioned this matter at this time, but she didn't interrupt her and listened quietly.

Lin Qingdai continued: "After a few years, I found out from my mother that that person turned out to be my father's brother, that is, my uncle. Because when they were young, they argued about a trivial matter and turned against each other. Uncle was angry for a while, I ran away angrily, and stayed away for decades. My father always thought it was worthless, and wanted to send someone to invite my uncle back, but he couldn't bear it and kept freezing. Until a few days before my father passed away, when the time between life and death Under such circumstances, my uncle came back on his own initiative and reconciled with his father weeping, so as not to worry about him. Alas, it's a pity that this knot has been hidden in Daddy's heart for too long and has not been untied."

Du Wenhao didn't expect that there was such a heavy story behind this Supa, he sighed and said, "Sister Qingdai, do you want me to do something that I won't regret?"

"Yes!" Lin Qingdai stared at him.

"You know what I did?"

"I know."

Du Wenhao was slightly surprised: "You know?"

"Yes, the first day, Chen Meiren's personal old lady came here, begging you to save her mother. At that time, you were sick and lying on the bed. I was the one who decided to persuade Qin'er not to tell you."

"But she's going to die soon!"

"There are so many people dying of illness in this world, how many of them have you saved?"

Du Wenhao was dumb for a moment, sighed, and shook his head: "I can't just ignore death!"

"If you don't save it, let it take its course. Hello everyone. This is a natural result. If you save it and mess it up, who will recognize your benevolent doctor?"

Du Wenhao raised his thick eyebrows: "A doctor should heal himself first, and then others. If there is no benevolence, how can you say a benevolent doctor?"

Lin Qingdai raised her brows: "How many of the benevolent doctors in history who refused to save themselves had a good death? Bian Que? Wen Zhi, Han Zongshao, Kang Zhongyin?"

Du Wenhao was sad, Bian Que was 90 years old, and King Qin Wu, the king of the state of Qin, was suffering from a head disease, so he asked Bian Que to treat him.Someone told Bian Que that there was a jealous imperial physician next to King Wu of Qin, and that it might be harmful to him. Bian Que kept going and insisted on going, but in the end he was assassinated by the imperial physician.

Wen Zhi, a famous doctor in the Warring States Period, the king of Qi suffered from depression, was extremely weak, and was about to die. Prince Qi found Wen Zhi and asked him to treat him.Wen Zhi refused to see death without saving him, and decided to use the method of anger to treat him, and asked the prince to promise to forgive his sins after he was cured.The prince agreed.Wen Zhi used all kinds of extremely rude methods to anger King Qi, and indeed he cured King Qi of depression.However, King Qi didn't buy it, and he didn't listen to the prince's explanation. He refused to forgive Wen Zhi's rudeness. No matter how the prince begged for mercy, he threw Wen Zhi into a cauldron and boiled him alive.

Han Zongshao and Kang Zhongyin are famous doctors in the Tang Dynasty. Tang Yizong has a precious daughter who loves her like a jewel in her palm.When she grew up, she married Xinke Jinshi.The princess was pampered, frail and sickly, but her condition was getting worse day by day.His Jinshi husband invited famous doctors to treat him, and two famous doctors Han Zongshao and Kang Zhongyin were invited among them.At that time, someone reminded the two of them that this Jinshi was narrow-minded and couldn't handle things. If he was cured, he could talk about it.The two famous doctors couldn't bear to see death, so they didn't listen to the persuasion and went anyway.Unfortunately, the princess was terminally ill and neither of them could be cured.Sure enough, after the princess died, the Jinshi was afraid that the emperor would blame him for not being able to take care of the emperor's precious princess, so he returned the blame to two famous doctors and other doctors.The emperor was sad and furious, and executed Han Zongshao, Kang Zhongyin and other doctors who participated in the treatment.

Lin Qingdai's parents were in the medicine business, and she knew all these medical allusions, and when she said it, Du Wenhao was immediately speechless.

Lin Qingdai moved her head closer, and said in a low voice: "Wen Hao, although I don't know the detailed background of Chen Meiren's incident, I can guess all kinds of cruelty in the harem. You are in it, what you need at this time is more Many are probably not due to your superb medical skills. You must know that some patients in the harem are better cured than not cured! If you can’t be cured, no one blames you. If you are cured, I’m afraid it will cause disaster! What is a benevolent doctor?——a benevolent doctor has to live first! If he is killed because he treats a patient, what kind of benevolent doctor is he? So, it’s better not to be too serious about everything, this is rare to be confused!"

Du Wenhao smiled wryly: "Sister Qingdai, I never thought you would be so..."

"A philistine?" Lin Qingdai was sad, "Wen Hao, I have to be a philistine! Because I have promised to be your woman when the filial piety is over, and you will be my husband in the future. I want a living husband, and I don't want to be a widow anymore. I just want you to stay with me, safe and sound, for the rest of my life! We don’t seek glory and wealth, high officials and high salary, but peace. As long as I can be with you safely, I am willing to eat chaff and swallow vegetables !"

Du Wenhao's heart warmed, he stretched out his hand, and held her hand: "Sister Qingdai, don't worry, I'll save it. For you, I will compromise and do my best."

"I'm afraid, I can't have both!"

-------------
Night falls.

Compared with the west side of the imperial palace and the east side, it seems that there are two heavens in the world. Although it is the few days when the cold returns to May, even the buds that have just emerged on the trees cannot withstand the ravages of the cold wind, and hang down in the night. With his usual proud head.

There is a tall and dense walnut tree growing in the courtyard of Lenggong, and it seems listless these days, just like the mood of the owner of this courtyard.

Suddenly there was a loud laugh, the door of the bedroom was knocked open, and a gust of cold wind suddenly blew through the door. At the same time, a woman in a bright red dress ran out with a silly smile, with a splint on her sternum, shouting : "You are chasing me. If you catch up with me, the emperor will make you a high official, ah ha ha ha..., chase, come and chase me quickly, ha ha ha..."

"Madam, I beg you, I beg you, your illness has just improved, and you still have a high fever, so don't run out." Chen Po rushed out of the door anxiously, holding a shawl in her hand and facing Chen Meiren ran away.

"I don't want to go back, I don't want..." Chen Meiren grabbed her hand and took a hard bite.

"Oh, ma'am, why are you biting people!" Granny Chen screamed.Quickly let go of Chen Meiren's hand, Chen Meiren ran to hide behind the walnut tree, only showing half of her face to make faces at her.

"Don't come here, be careful, I'll tell the emperor to pull you out and behead you, oh no, no, no, cut to pieces, no, quarter your body, hahaha..."

Chen Po was obviously in a hurry, and chased after her desperately. Unexpectedly, Chen Meiren was as nimble as a monkey, using her hands and feet to climb up the tree.

"Your Majesty, oh, please don't do it, your ribs are still hurt! Don't climb, the old slave won't come up, can you?" Chen Po had to raise her hands in surrender, and she obediently retreated from the tree and stood where she was coaxing Chen Meiren.

"Kneel down, I have something to say." I don't know whether Chen Meiren took Du Wenhao's medicine and miraculously cured her illness, or whether she was mentally insane and didn't care about the rib injury at all, Feeling no pain, he firmly grasped an arm-sized tree trunk with both hands without incident, and his feet were hanging in the air, like a naughty orangutan.

Grandma Chen quickly fell to her knees: "Madam, you see I'm already on my knees. If you want to say something, say it quickly, and then go back and lie down. This old servant begs you."

Chen Meiren kicked her feet hard to step on the tree trunk, but she climbed up with her hands somehow, moaning in her mouth, and after exhausting her strength for a long time, she climbed up the branch and sat down, and shook it vigorously, the branch was shaken terribly "Come on, all of you, let's play on the swing." Chen Meiren was in high spirits, and instead of getting down, she sat on the branch and swayed even more vigorously.

Suddenly, the branch made a sound of breaking, Grandma Chen was so frightened that she hurriedly begged: "Mother, if you don't come down, the branch will break, I..."

Before she finished speaking, only Chen Meiren screamed, the branch fell down, and Chen Meiren fell heavily to the ground.

"Your Majesty!" Chen Po rushed forward and hugged Chen Meiren.Chen Meiren snorted twice, opened her eyes suddenly, wrinkled her nose, touched her ribs subconsciously, and let go quickly, then her mouth shrunk, and she began to cry, crying with her arms and legs Neighing: "I'm hungry..., I want to eat pancakes!"

"Okay! I'll get it for you!" Chen Po hurriedly got up and walked quickly into the house.

Granny Chen had just walked a few steps when Beauty Chen threw herself on the ground with a slam, holding the snow-covered mud and stuffing it into her mouth: "Cakes! Beauty wants to eat cakes! Hee hee, hee hee!"

"Master, you can't eat that!" Granny Chen jumped up and hugged Chen Meiren, reaching out to break her mouth, but Chen Meiren bit her hard, and let go with a scream.

Beauty Chen swallowed a lump of mud in her mouth with a thud, got up, and saw the broken branch at a glance: "Drumsticks! Hee hee, beauty likes chicken legs the most!" Grabbing the root of the tree, he gnawed and waited until Chen Po snatched the tree root, and she had already gnawed off several pieces of bark.

Grandma Chen was crying, trying to pinch the bark she was chewing on, but she pushed it away, and danced in shapeless circles in the yard, undressing while dancing, Soon half of his body was exposed to the cold wind.

Granny Chen quickly picked up the clothes she had taken off, and ran after her to wrap her around her body.

This scene, a man in black hiding on a locust tree by the wall saw it clearly, giggled, jumped down the tree lightly, and left.

Longyou Palace.

The queen wore a light gauze but she didn't feel cold. There was a heater in the room, but it was a bit cold these few days, but it couldn't beat the biting coolness of the twelfth lunar month.

The queen took the rose tea offered by the maid, gently blew the petals floating on the surface, took a sip, looked at the eldest princess who was sitting opposite her in night clothes with her red phoenix eyes, and waved her hand. People withdrew one by one.Then he whispered to the eldest princess: "Is the coquettish fox finished?"

The eldest princess laughed and said, "No, I just saw a joke!"

"Keep your voice down, and be careful not to be overheard. Why, things have changed?"

"As soon as it got dark, I waited on the walnut tree in the yard. I just wanted to wait for Granny Chen to fall asleep before I could find a rope to hang her up from the tree. Who would have thought that she would sit on that tree? A trick of the night."

"What kind of trick is it? Don't keep it up, you girl, tell me quickly."

"That woman is crazy!" The eldest princess picked up the cup in front of her and drank the petals in it in one gulp, then wiped the water stains from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve. She didn't have the demeanor of a royal woman at all, and she was a pretty girl who ran around the rivers and lakes.

"Crazy?" The queen seemed more surprised than the eldest princess, and her sleepy eyes suddenly became brighter than the red lantern hanging on the porch.

The eldest princess nodded, looked at the queen's dubious look, and said with a smile: "Yes, if the sister-in-law doesn't believe it, she can find out for herself. In such a cold day, she is only wearing a thin body like yours. Standing on that branch, singing a little song, and then the branch broke and fell straight on the ground! Hehe, it's so satisfying to watch! It's better for her to be alive than dead!"

Of course, the queen believed in the eldest princess's words, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Since this is the case, it is better to let her or shame her face, anyway, your emperor brother will never like a crazy woman, and he is still blind in one eye. Crazy woman with half hair! Hee hee hee!" Her expression was filled with ferocity, and she felt very relieved.

"Okay, I hid in the tree and watched the good show in the middle of the night, and I was tired. I went back to sleep. Sister-in-law, she is useless and won't compete with you. Don't worry! I'm leaving!"

The Queen happily sent the Eldest Princess out of the door, walked to the corridor, hurriedly her feet were chilly, and looked down, only to realize that she was not wearing shoes, and she didn't know if she had stepped on something hard, so she waved goodbye and ran away grinning Back to the house.

--------

Pang Yuqin actually had a miscarriage.

Du Wenhao was very depressed.Pang Yuqin lay in bed tired all day and washed her face with tears.Du Wenhao also blamed herself all the time, and Lin Qingdai reminded herself more than once that Pang Yuqin was not feeling well and always complained of stomach pains, but every time she saw that Pang Yuqin had diarrhea a few times and she was fine, she thought it was stomach discomfort and ignored it. From this point of view, it seems that there are already signs of miscarriage.

Du Wenhao hadn't been to the palace for three days, so he took a three-day leave.

The Empress Dowager is now a little dependent on Du Wenhao. Even if she doesn't feel physically unwell after seeing her for a day, she will find someone to call Du Wenhao to look at flowers and plants with her, chat, play chess and so on.

Eunuch Jiao came here in person, and he didn't know how to comfort this kind of thing. He still sent a lot of supplements and said a few useless words of comfort, and left with a sigh and shaking his head.After that, the Empress Dowager sent the Eldest Princess to visit, and I don't know what the Eldest Princess thought, but she didn't enter the door.He only spoke a few lukewarm words to Du Wenhao at the door.After delivering the things, he rode away with the people.

Lin Qingdai saw that Du Wenhao was in a bad mood, but his eyes had been sunken for three days, and his brows had been furrowed. He always stood alone and looked at a place for a long time, and his heart ached.Then he comforted and said: "Wen Hao, you should go to the palace for a walk, don't stay at home all the time, Qin'er will be taken care of by Yingzi and me, so don't worry."

"En." Du Wenhao responded lightly, without saying anything.

Lin Qingdai sighed, carrying the bird's nest porridge for Pang Yuqin, and was about to leave when Du Wenhao stopped her: "Sister Qingdai, I want Qin'er to go back to her mother's house for a few days, maybe she will feel better, you see Is it right?"

Lin Qingdai turned around, thought for a while, and said, "I think it's okay, but you have to check Tanqin'er's tone first, lest she think it's because you are angry and don't want to see it, then it's not good."

"I know, so I asked my sister to help me to ask. The main reason is that I will feel better soon when my mother-in-law and younger sister are with me when I go back."

"Okay, then I'll go ask."

Seeing Lin Qingdai enter Pang Yuqin's room, Du Wenhao knew that they would not be able to talk for a short time, so he sighed softly, and decided to go to the palace to be on duty, so as to relax.He ordered the sedan chair to be prepared, made a sedan chair and went out to the palace.
