General doctor's wife

Chapter 32
"I won't write the memorial anymore. I'll write a note to Cheng Engong to let Cheng Engong enter the palace." Lu Chengan walked to the desk beside him, took a pen and wrote a note, and passed it to Lu Yi when he went out.

After returning, he stood at the door and watched Qin Ranran write the letter with a serious face.

"Ranran, who can cure this poison?" Seeing Qin Ranran finish writing and sealing the letter, Lu Chengan asked cautiously.

"My master may be able to cure it. I saw this kind of poison when I was practicing medicine with my master, and I saw it at the home of an official in the southwest where wives and concubines were fighting." Qin Ranran's eyes were full of worry that she didn't want to hide, "Master said at the time I found a prescription to alleviate the onset of toxicity. Later, I suffered from a little miasma poisoning in the southwest, and the master asked my senior brothers to send me back to Medicine Valley. I was still young at the time, so I didn’t ask any more questions. Today I wrote it in the letter, you find a close friend, and I will teach him how to find the master."

Lu Chengan nodded, opened the window and asked Lu Jiu to call Lu San over.

In the study of Cheng Engong's mansion, Cheng Engong sat at the desk and looked at the big characters he had just written in front of his desk.

"Father, can I come in?" There was a soft knock on the door, accompanied by a familiar male voice.

"Ah Ching, come in."

A man in a crow-blue robe came in and saw the rice paper with the words "Be strong without desire" on the table. Seeing that the ink marks were not completely dry, he knew that it was written by his father just now.

"Father, who is this?" The man couldn't help asking, could his family's status and the relationship with the empress allow his father to have no desires?
"Wenqing, do you think that our Cheng'en government can't achieve no desire?" Cheng'en looked at his son.

Song Wenqing thought for a while, and said solemnly: "Father, our Cheng'en Mansion was bestowed by the emperor and the queen. If we say that we have no desires, we must ignore all the temptations of the outside world, abandon the temptations promised by others, and only For the sake of His Majesty and Queen."

"If our whole house is only for His Majesty, there must be no other loopholes for others to take advantage of."

Cheng Engong showed a look of relief, and said with emotion: "What I, Song Changyuan, am most proud of in my life is having such a sensible son as you."

"Then, what about my aunt?" Song Wenqing couldn't help asking.

"Your aunt, I really don't know whether it was right or wrong for her father to allow her to enter the palace... If she only married an ordinary official family, why would she have to go through all these intrigues and make her body so weak now!" Cheng Engong said here, Already showing sadness.

"Father, you must not be sad, aunt, she needs us."

"You're right. I have to plan well. Only when I can protect your aunt can I protect my Duke Cheng'en's mansion."

The father and son were talking, but there was a knock on the window lattice.

Hearing the long and short sounds, Cheng Engong's expression changed, and he hurried over to open the window.

A small bamboo flute lay quietly on the window sill, and there was no one in the darkness.

"Father, this is..." Song Wenqing asked.

Cheng Engong raised his hand to stop him from continuing to ask questions, reached out to pick up the bamboo flute, closed the window, and ordered the servants outside not to be disturbed by anyone, then opened the bamboo flute, and took out a piece of paper full of small characters strip.

Cheng Engong read the words on the note at a glance, and slumped on the chair as if all the strength had been taken from his body.

It took a while before he said: "Momo, I want to enter the palace."

"Father, it's getting late now, His Majesty must have rested." Song Wenqing was a little anxious when he heard this.

"This matter is very important, I don't care about it so much. You can explain it to your mother in a while, and say that the matter has something to do, and I must enter the palace immediately." Clothes, went straight out the door.

Mingde Hall was brightly lit, but there was no noise at all.

Emperor Deqing stood in front of the window, looking at the dark place with a blank expression.

"Your Majesty, Lord Cheng En asks to see you." Liu Hai's voice sounded at the entrance of the hall.

"Cheng Engong? It's time..." Emperor Deqing frowned, then waved, "Xuan."

Cheng Engong, who was standing at the gate of Mingde Hall, did not dare to take a step forward, the emperor's inner room was not something he, a foreigner, could easily enter.

"Cheng Engong, go to my upper study and wait for me." As soon as Emperor Deqing said this, Cheng Engong heaved a sigh of relief, and was led by the little servant to the upper study.

"Cheng Engong is entering the palace at this time, what's the matter?" Emperor Deqing was dressed in bright yellow casual clothes, beckoning Liu to serve tea.

"Your Majesty, I have come here today and I have something important to say." Cheng Engong knelt up and said after finishing the salute.

Emperor Deqing's expression turned serious, and he raised his hand: "Give me a seat for Duke Cheng'en, and you all should retreat too."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cheng Engong stood up and half-sat on the chair that the emperor had set his hands on, before continuing to speak, "Your Majesty, there are some clues about what happened today."

"This kind of poison is called Ruanxiang, and it is unique to the Southwest. This poison must not be placed with Luo Lanhua, otherwise...you will die suddenly."

Emperor Deqing looked gloomy: "You mean, unique to the Southwest?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Did Lu Qing's wife find out about this matter?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, yes. It is inconvenient for General Lu to enter the palace, so he asked the minister to come."

"It's inconvenient to enter the palace?" Emperor Deqing chuckled, didn't say any more, and continued to ask, "How to get rid of this poison?"

Cheng Engong showed embarrassment: "Madam Lu said that she has no choice but to write a letter to Master. Once there is news, she will immediately report to His Majesty."

Emperor Deqing raised his hand, gently stroked a jade ruyi on the table in front of him, and said: "The granddaughter of Zhennanhou's family used to have a lot of thoughts about Lu Qing, so she must have reached her age?"

"At that time, I heard that the granddaughter of Marquis Zhennan had reached the age of Ji, but... so the marriage was delayed." Cheng Engong thought for a while before answering.

"Tell me, how about pointing out his granddaughter to the Third Prince?" Emperor Deqing said slowly.

Cheng Engong hesitated for a moment before he opened his mouth and said, "Will Zhennan Hou over there..."

"Hmph, I gave his granddaughter a marriage to praise his Zhennan Hou Mansion." Emperor Deqing snorted coldly, and threw Yu Ruyi back to the desk.

"But, the Queen Mother..." Cheng Engong still felt that something was wrong.

"I've made up my mind." After a while, Emperor Deqing said coldly.

Cheng Engong stood up and bowed down.

"Song Qing, you and I are not only kings and ministers, but also uncles. I, the empress, and Fujia have encountered this. I am really disappointed. No one in the palace has spoken. Did someone buy it? In this harem, Ah Sheng treats me with absolutely no ambiguity, but he can't resist being framed by someone who has a heart."

"Tomorrow, you will pick a few trustworthy cooks from the mansion and bring them to the palace, and ask Ah Sheng to set up a small kitchen in Changchun Palace, which will be responsible for the meals for me and the empress."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hands to help Cheng Engong who was already kneeling on the ground: "Brother, I entrust you with the safety of me and A Sheng."

Cheng Engong's eyes became hot, and he knelt on the ground again: "I will never disappoint the emperor's great trust!"
