Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 79 Don't think evil

Apart from taking medicine to relieve the symptoms of the onset, there is no good way.

He had been disappointed a long time ago, and he didn't expect anyone to heal him.

It's just that now, the disease is already very serious, and he doesn't even have a child now, and it's also because he doesn't know if he has a child, whether the child will also suffer from this disease.

Ever since Concubine Duan's natal family discovered this kind of thing, their relationship with his grandmother's family has froze. Who let them marry such a daughter?

Doesn't this bring the whole family down?

And because her grandmother passed away early, there was only one daughter, Concubine Duan, and the later stepmother gave birth to several sons, and now it is Concubine Duan's half-brother who inherits the family business.

In this way, their Qian family is fine, but how dare this matter spread, if it is known, the Qian family will deceive the Holy One, and his grandmother's family will be in trouble.

Bringing this disease into the royal family was also intolerable to the emperor.

It's just that they didn't know that King Chu was ill. After all, on the surface, Concubine Duan was healthy.

It was only then that Murong Wei realized that this matter was not as simple as whether he wanted to say it or not.

Once he was told, the emperor wanted to investigate his condition, and the Qian family who offered their daughters to the palace would also be in bad luck.

At that time, I don't know how many people will be affected.

And his illness, too, was of no avail.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this. Although I am a little girl, I know how to keep my promise."

she said seriously.

Seeing her serious expression, King Chu knew that she understood his embarrassment, and smiled, "That's the best. There are many things we can't help ourselves."

Looking at his bitter look, Murong Wei couldn't help sympathizing with him.

Thinking that he had to suffer from this kind of disease at a young age, I'm afraid he has had a hard time these years, right?
If you want to hide this matter, you can't announce it to the world, you can only do it secretly.

"Maybe I..." she said vaguely, "I might be able to alleviate your illness."

The king of Chu was startled, he looked at her suspiciously and in disbelief: "What can you do?"

It's not that he doesn't believe it, it's that he has seen many famous doctors, and they can only relieve the pain of his attack, but they have no effect on how to cure the disease.

Murong Wei remembered that her grandfather was an internal medicine doctor in his previous life, specializing in difficult and miscellaneous diseases.

When he was young, his great-grandfather was also a famous doctor. At that time, when medical treatment was not advanced, he also saw this kind of disease.

Although it cannot be cured like surgery, it can also alleviate the condition.

"You know Hua Tuo, right?"

He raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with Hua Tuo, do you have Hua Tuo's medical skills?"

Murong Wei shook her head and said with a smile, "I'm not that powerful. When Cao Cao suffered from a headache, Hua Tuo said that he needed a craniotomy to cure it. How could Cao Cao believe it? So he beheaded Hua Tuo. Your disease... actually If it can be operated on, maybe it can be cured. It’s just that I’m afraid I can’t find that kind of doctor now, I think if you organize some people to study this area, maybe you can gain something.”

The king of Chu was happy at first, then disappointed again.

He had never heard of any doctor doing such a thing.

Moreover, heart surgery is extraordinary, not everyone can do it.

The ancients respected the dead, so it was impossible to use them for autopsy research.

The King of Chu shook his head: "This is too far away, besides using a knife on the chest..."

He frowned: "He bleeds and dies. Is this the way you're talking about?"

Murong Wei smiled and said: "No, although this method is good, it can't be used at this time. I got a prescription before, and it seems to be able to relieve your condition. Although it can't cure your condition, it can at least make you feel better. Greatly relieved the pain. But I don’t know how you use this recipe.”

The king of Chu was a little emotional. If he could alleviate his illness and allow him to live well in the future, he would naturally be willing to pay a lot of price.

But he has been disappointed many times, how can he be sure that what Murong Wei said is true?

"Where did you get this prescription? How can you be sure it's a cure for heart disease? And it's symptomatic?"

"Don't ask me where I got it, anyway, I know that someone has used this prescription to treat it, but don't expect too much, because I'm not sure how well you used it."

The King of Chu was silent for a moment, and said: "It's okay, I'm used to it, if you have this thing, please give it to me."

Murong Wei was about to speak when suddenly the King of Chu stood up and hurriedly dragged her to a remote place in the rockery.

"What are you doing..."

"Shh." He signaled her to silence, and at this moment, there was a shout in the distance.

"My lord, who was here just now, disappeared in a blink of an eye." It was the voice from before.

"Really? Maybe go to the study, let's go, let's go to the study."

Another voice came, and the two hurried away.

Murong Wei distanced herself uncomfortably, the distance between the two was too close, they breathed each other, she could see herself reflected in King Chu's eyes.

The King of Chu seemed to have noticed her retreat, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Murong Wei coughed lightly, and looked left and right to cover up: "Is there no one? I'll go back to Chonghua Hall first."

"Wait." He took a step forward, Murong Wei stepped back, but bumped directly into the mountain wall, she stared at the man in front of her vigilantly: "Third brother, it's the same if you go first."

The King of Chu couldn't help laughing. Seeing her vigilant look, he suddenly wanted to tease her for no reason.

He held down the mountain wall with one hand, and Murong Wei was immediately trapped in his prison.

"I don't want to go now."

This gesture and the distance are too subtle, especially ambiguous.

Murong Wei's heart skipped a beat, this guy still wants to kill someone to silence him, right?

Could it be that he was pretending before?

Murong Wei's face changed again and again, she was about to speak, but she saw him turn his head and look not far away.

Murong Wei followed his line of sight, just in time to see two maids, Lu Shao and Zhi Xia, and another maid wearing the costume of Chu Palace, and Lu Shao looked away suspiciously.

"Hey, did the princess go back to watch the theater? Oh, we got lost. We took so long to be brought out. The princess must be impatient to go back."

Zhixia nodded: "Let's go find the princess quickly, it's embarrassing this time."

"It's okay, I'll take the two older sisters there." The maid of Chu Palace immediately led them away.

Murong Wei breathed a sigh of relief, seeing his half-smiling eyes, her face blushed, only then did she realize that he must have seen someone approaching and let her hide.

If someone finds the two of them in such a posture, I don't know what rumors will spread!
Are you going to meet someone then?

"You... go away first. It's not suitable for us to be seen by others."

King Chu took a step back, Murong Wei quickly came out from the corner, bowed and said, "I'm leaving first."

"Wait." King Chu paused, and said, "I'm going to drink with my second brother tomorrow."

Murong Wei knew that he was telling her that he hoped she would give him the prescription tomorrow.

"It's better not to drink alcohol for your illness, and not to be tired. I heard from my husband that you are still in charge of compiling books, which is not good for your health."

After all, it was an occupational disease. I was used to instructing patients to avoid taboos, so it slipped out again.

The King of Chu was startled, his eyes warmed up, and his smile became more sincere: "Okay, I will pay attention to it. To compile a book, I just have an outline, it's fine."

He didn't know why he wanted to explain to her, maybe it was because of the sincerity in her words.

Murong Wei quickly shut up, what was the matter with her words, she was not someone like him.

It's even more inappropriate to stand in the position of sister-in-law, she shouldn't be too close to brother-in-law.

"Hehe...I'll go back first." She turned around and left in a hurry, her steps hurried.

The King of Chu watched her figure disappear from sight, like a green lotus drifting away with the wind, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.

He suppressed this feeling and murmured: "Don't think evil."

When Murong Wei arrived at the gate of the Moon Cave, she lowered her head and straightened her posture before returning to Chonghua Hall unhurriedly.

Lu Shao was coming out of the building, when she saw her, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "The servant is looking for the princess everywhere, where have you been, the servant, and the servant does not see you everywhere."

Murong Wei looked around and said to him: "Where have you been going for so long and haven't come back? I'll take a walk around."

Lu Shao said with a bitter face: "My maidservant and sister Zhixia went to catch butterflies, but they lost their way after catching them. They turned around for a while and didn't come out. Later, they met the people from Chu Palace and brought us out."

"Is this what you're promising?" Murong Wei entered the Chonghua Hall with a smile: "It seems that I can't take you out in the future, otherwise I will lose all my face."

Lu Shao lowered her head: "Your servant is so stupid, you can get lost in the palace, alas..."

Murong Wei teased her a few words, went upstairs with a smile, Zhixia also greeted her, Murong Wei returned to her seat, Princess Qi asked: "Why did my siblings take so long to come back?"

"No, I saw that the scenery around Chonghua Hall is good, so I enjoyed it for a while. The palace of the third sibling is elegantly decorated." She took it all away, and didn't want to discuss where she went with anyone.

Princess Chu heard people's compliments, and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law is really flattering her. Actually, the layout of this palace is almost the same, and yours is not bad."

Concubine Qi was eating a cherry, Wen Yan blinked her phoenix eyes: "No, in the past, sister Zhu liked to decorate the palace the most."

Concubine Chu was originally a polite remark, who would have thought that Princess Qi would say that, as if she was mocking Murong Wei.

Someone around has heard it, and Princess He frowned slightly.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing for others to mention Zhu Shi at this time?

Murong Wei said lightly: "I don't know about this. I haven't even visited many places in the palace. I am busy with the affairs of the palace every day. I heard my sister-in-law say so. I will ask the prince later to appreciate it. Now I only see the place designed by the prince."

Princess Qi ate a cherry and paused, "Really, it seems that the second brother really dotes on his younger brother and sister, tsk tsk, it's really enviable."

There was a smile on Murong Wei's face, and her dark pupils swept across, so clear that she seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

"Sister-in-law is also spoiled by elder brother, why are you making fun of me? Later elder brother knows, I don't know if he will be jealous."

Only then did Princess Qi realize that her words were ambiguous.

What do you envy when a couple loves each other? What does it matter to you?
You envy others, do you want to replace them?
If someone listens to it, why don't you just gossip about her and my brother-in-law?
Her face turned pale, and she gave a dry laugh: "I'm just kidding, our sister-in-law will have more contacts in the future."

Murong Wei smiled sweetly: "Sister-in-law is right, father is the one who values ​​brotherhood the most, so we sisters-in-law should naturally get closer."

Concubine Chu was taken advantage of by Princess Qi, she was unhappy in her heart, and said in a nonchalant manner: "No, I will go to your second sister-in-law when I have time, and I will ask you to teach me about cooking and female celebrities. My sister-in-law is a busy person." , probably not available."

Third Grandma Lu was naturally helping my sister-in-law, and she laughed loudly: "I heard that my aunt said that Princess Luo's female celebrity and cooking skills are first-class, and I have to see and see tomorrow."

Murong Wei rubbed her forehead and said, "I, I'm just dangling half a bottle, and I didn't do cooking myself, so the female celebrity can see it just like that."

Concubine Qi was very displeased at being robbed, but it was hard to say anything on her territory, so she followed the words.

"We are like this, can't we cook by ourselves? My mother didn't let me cook in the past, for fear of making my hands rough."

Murong Wei is actually lazy, now that someone is helping her, she is even more lazy to do it herself.

Now it is the clothes that stretch out the hands and the food that opens the mouth, it is corrupt to the extreme.

In the past, she was a foodie, so it was fine to let her eat, or to think of a recipe, but she was too lazy to do it by herself.

A meal may be over in 5 minutes, but how long does it take to make it?
Especially now that some expensive dishes in the palace require more than a dozen processes, even the famous dishes made in the big kitchen cannot be made in her small kitchen.

She didn't bother to do it just because it was so troublesome.

A group of women chatted casually, and Wang Hao was interested in cooking, Murong Wei discussed a few dishes with them, and Wang Hao asked her to return home to send a list.

When it was time to apply in the afternoon, it was getting late, so everyone got up and said goodbye.

When Murong Wei came out of Chonghua Hall, she saw the King of Chu coming. She probably came here specially to see off the guests.

Seeing her, the king of Chu smiled: "Second sister-in-law, go slowly, tomorrow I will go to drink with second brother, second sister-in-law must remember to cook more dishes."

Princess Chu was a little surprised, she didn't know why her husband suddenly brought up this matter.

"Third brother, don't worry, I will tell the prince when I get back, and he also hopes that your brothers will go often."

After saying some polite words, they each took the green wall car to the gate of the mansion, changed to the car of Luowang Mansion, and left under the escort of the guards.

When Murong Wei thought about this, she felt amused.

She really has an accident physique, and she can encounter things even if she goes to a banquet.

After returning to the palace, when he told Xiao Mingrui at dinner, he was a little surprised.

"The third brother is coming to drink?"

"Yeah, I'll have someone prepare the table tomorrow, aren't you free?"

He shook his head: "It's just a little strange. The third brother doesn't usually go to drink with his brothers."

"What's the matter, you are brothers."

Xiao Mingrui thought about it too, if something really happened, he would know tomorrow.

Since Murong Wei agreed, she didn't intend to reveal his secret.

After dinner, Murong Wei came out with a robe from the cabinet after taking a bath.

The robes are made loose, with beautiful dark blue lotus patterns, and the silk of the Songjiang triangular cloth is soft and tight, making it cool and pleasant to wear.

Xiao Mingrui tried it on and was very satisfied, so he nodded his head: "Yes, this is convenient to wear and easy to take off."

This is a bit of a joke.

Murong Wei raised her eyebrows in dissatisfaction, with dissatisfaction in her eyes, her winking eyes were like silk, and the ending sound rose: "My lord, don't you just say a few words of praise? How can you be so flattering?"

"Isn't it a compliment? It's just convenient. The lady did what I like... Well, the king is very satisfied..."

"Don't, people are talking to you."

"What's the matter?"

Murong Wei punched him: "Didn't my husband say to investigate the matter of the purse?"

"This matter has been interrogated. The little eunuch Xiao Lizi couldn't bear the punishment, and he confessed that Zhang Yuqian sent him to do it. He is the servant of the Department of Justice, and it was indeed him and Xiaoluzi who served me that day. If the clothes and purses are changed, it is very likely that he made them."

Murong Wei laughed, with a look of playfulness and interest on her face, her dark pupils reflected the hazy yellow light, and asked him with interest...

"Does your husband believe it?"

She didn't say whether she believed it or not, but first asked him whether he believed it or not.

In the inner room, the fragrance of pear stamens is burning, and it is exuded gracefully in the purple golden cicada incense burner. The room is full of fragrance, and the hazy yellow lights sway from time to time in the faint evening wind, giving off a muffled sweet smell.

Xiao Mingrui inhaled the faint fragrance deeply, pretending to be serious and meditating: "I only look at the evidence for my husband, it seems to be true."

Murong Wei looked at the corners of his lips, although he looked serious, but he was obviously in a good mood, and he was clearly being amusing.

"Oh?" Her voice was drawn out, her face full of disbelief: "This is clearly a game. Tsk tsk, this is trying to kill two birds with one stone, not bad. I don't believe that the wise and mighty husband didn't notice."

Xiao Mingrui's muffled laughter came, and he pinched her pretty nose: "Stop flattering, tell me, being a husband is the most empirical."

Murong Wei knew that he must have found out a long time ago, but she just wanted her to talk about it.

That being the case, she might as well cooperate with him.

"This matter is actually simple to say. Only Su De knows what my husband said to Aunt Zhang that day. Aunt Zhang sent someone to inform me that you stayed there, so why bother? What's more, she was reprimanded by you that day. If she dares to take the risk of committing a crime, she will not be afraid that the matter will be exposed, and if she finds out, her husband will directly send her off? So this matter is purely superfluous, unless someone wants to use this matter to drive a wedge between you and my husband and wife, but they don’t know Aunt Zhang Regarding the matter in the room, I thought you were only going to visit her, so you set up this situation. Whether it succeeds or not, it has nothing to do with this person. "

Murong Wei nodded approvingly when she saw him, and said with certainty: "This person must be familiar with your husband's movements, but also be able to place people around him, and also have people willing to cooperate with him in planting and framing him. He must have some means. The palace has been in business for a long time. Zhang Yuqian was very suspicious at first, but unfortunately that person didn't know what happened that day, and didn't know that Zhang Yuqian was scared out of her wits by the prince."

Xiao Mingrui pinched her cheeks, "You have said everything, but this king has nothing to say."

Murong Wei stuck out her tongue, pretending to be naive and said: "My husband wants to explain, doesn't he?"

Xiao Mingrui rubbed her black hair, Murong Wei scratched her head, "Hair is messed up."

He laughed loudly, and simply tore away her hairpin, and any black hair fell down and fell to his side.

"Since that's the case, maybe Wei'er can guess who did it?"

Murong Wei shook her head: "I don't know either."

She guessed it was the woman in the backyard, but it was hard to say. He probably also had guesses in his heart, so what answer could she give when he asked her?
"That little eunuch... committed suicide." Xiao Mingrui looked cold: "So it's really hard to find out why."

Murong Wei froze, she didn't expect that the little eunuch would commit suicide.

She was silent for a moment, and the only sound in the room was the cracking of lamps.

Yes, here, human life is the least valuable, let alone just an eunuch.

Who cares about his death?

"Although he committed suicide, I will let people continue to investigate who he is in contact with on a daily basis. People have no purpose and will not abandon their lives like this. They have ideas when they are alive. If so, there are reasons. For fame and fortune, for family members Money, there is always a reason."

Murong Wei said after a long time: "This is the husband's business. Now that I have my hands on the affairs of the palace, I will gradually take control of them. In the future, there will be fewer such turkey things."

No matter how strict the government is, it is difficult to guarantee that many things will happen.

As many people as there are in this mansion, right and wrong are unavoidable wherever there are people.

Just like this, for some people, the fate of eunuchs and maids is nothing more than a victim of a struggle.

Even if Murong Wei couldn't adapt to it before, she has to accept it now.

"Don't worry, I will entrust you with the affairs of the inner palace, and I know that you can do it well with your ability."

Murong Wei yawned and nestled in his arms. She was a little tired after a day of tossing around today, maybe more because of her heart.

"tired?"

"Well, sometimes I often think, wouldn't it be great if there were only you and me in this world? We can find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, cultivate three or five acres of land, pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and see Nanshan leisurely."

Listening to her words, Xiao Mingrui was a little stunned for a moment.

Such a life is of course comfortable, but the Taohuayuan is after all a Taohuayuan.

Born in the world, even in a mountain village, how can you get rid of the troubles of the world?
Under Wanghua, is it the king's land in the whole world, is it the king's ministers on the shore of the land, if they are really asked to cultivate three or five acres of land, the two who do not work do not know what it will be like.

and so……

I can only think about it.

Looking back, there are still many responsibilities before them.

Xiao Mingrui sighed: "Wei'er...do you really like that kind of life?"

Murong Wei nodded, then shook her head again.
