Chapter 123 Two Walnuts

Old Shang Gong was invited back into the house, and Lu You was sent to rest.

It wasn't until the sound of footsteps outside the courtyard completely disappeared that Tang Ruilang let out a long sigh and turned his head to look at Old Shanggong.

"The junior thanked the genius doctor for saving his life."

Old Shanggong nodded, and said kindly: "You have any questions, but it's okay to say."

Tang Ruilang cut to the chase and said, "Can you tell me, the one who was with me just now... What's his name and what is his identity?"

"You don't remember him."

Lao Shanggong was not surprised at all, as if he was just stating a fact that had been expected long ago.

Tang Ruilang smiled bitterly and said, "Not only do I not remember him, I also don't remember who I am, let alone the prince and everything before and after... But what I want to know most is the question just now."

Only then did Lao Shanggong reply: "His name is Lu You, and he is the servant and young supervisor."

"A servant?!" Tang Ruilang was surprised, "Lu You...is he actually a eunuch?"

Old Shanggong seemed to be sorry: "Could it be that... Even you look down on him."

"of course not!"

Tang Ruilang denied it without thinking, and then looked at Lao Shanggong with full expectation.

"It sounds like you know about my relationship with Lu You. Could you please tell me everything?"

Old Shanggong said, "Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to ask him yourself?"

"Well, I really want to ask. But I didn't ask at first, and it's even more difficult to ask again."

Tang Ruilang sighed: "I just couldn't bear to see how he looked like weeping just now. I also thought that maybe I could recall everything after a while, but until now, my mind is still in chaos."

"I can't remember, but it's normal."

Old Shang Gong slowly said: "The poison of brocade-eating insects you got was originally used to blur people's will and manipulate their hearts. Although the poison has been removed now, the residual power is still there. In a period of time , it will continue to mess with your mind. Your memory is not lost, it's just that your mind is paralyzed by the toxin."

After listening to the explanation, Tang Ruilang calmed down somewhat, but asked again: "A period of time... How long is that?"

"It can range from more than ten days to more than half a year."

"It will take at least ten days?! I can't cope with the first crown prince, half a year? How can I survive this? Lu You said that you are a miracle doctor, so you can help me find a way."

Old Shang Gong shook his head: "I have already saved your life, as for how you recover, I'm afraid you can only rely on yourself. Eat more food that nourishes the brain and detoxifies, maybe you can recover faster. You can do it yourself."

After finishing speaking, he left straight away, leaving only Tang Ruilang thinking about it.

The next day, the prince and his entourage, who had stayed in Liuquan Palace for two days, interrupted the spring search and hunted, and returned to the court.Only Lu You, the young servant of the housekeeper, and Tang Ruilang, the servant of the Huangmen, were allowed to stay in the palace to recuperate because of their meritorious service in escorting.

After the Taipan left, the Li Palace returned to its former tranquility.Seeing the other people leaving, Lu You simply moved into the courtyard where Tang Ruilang lived, and only said to the outside world that they wanted to take care of each other.

Tang Ruilang's physical foundation was already good, coupled with the benevolence of the old Shanggong; early the next morning, his hands and feet regained consciousness, and he was even able to move slightly.

Seeing this, Lu You was overjoyed.I don't care about other things, I only concentrate on being with Rui Lang, and I only hope that he will recover soon.

This afternoon, he was half-supporting and half-embracing Tang Ruilang to the courtyard to bask in the sun, and the two of them were chatting and teasing the dog.Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.Before he had time to react, the door was pushed open, and an unexpected person walked in.

"Lord Qiu Gong?" Lu You stared blankly at Qi Yunchu who was right in front of him: "...Why did you come here?"

"Why, why can't I come?"

Qi Yunchu walked over the threshold, glanced around the courtyard, and finally landed on Tang Ruilang.

Tang Ruilang had already remembered Qi Yunchu's identity from Lu You, so he could greet him calmly at this moment.Qi Yunchu just glanced at him and didn't answer.

The room was dark, so Lu You also asked Qi Yunchu to sit down on the stone bench in the courtyard, and respectfully offered a cup of tea.

Qi Yunchu took a sip of tea and asked bluntly: "I heard from Wu Che that the ghost doctor's witch doctor seems to want to arrest the clan's children?"

"This is just my guess. It seems that the prince doesn't believe it."

As he said that, Lu You recounted what happened, mixed with his own judgment.

Qi Yunchu nodded after listening, and first gave affirmation: "Compared with Zhao Yun, I trust your judgment more."

However, after a pause, he changed the subject again.

"But these days, you've been getting tired of flirting with each other in this small courtyard, and you don't pay attention to what you should know. It's a bit too relaxed and casual for this servant and young prisoner."

Lu You knew that he had made a mistake before going first, so he immediately kept silent and bowed his head.

On the other hand, Tang Ruilang couldn't stand it any longer.

"I can't blame him for this matter. The prince asked him to accompany me here to recuperate. If you want to blame him, then you are questioning the prince's decision?"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Yunchu didn't react yet, but Lu You looked at him in surprise.

Tang Ruilang felt terrified when he saw it, he vaguely understood that he had said something wrong, but he didn't know where the mistake was, so he could only pat his head and pretend to be dizzy.

Qi Yunchu didn't go to see him act, and said to Lu You directly: "Since yesterday, I have asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to check the bodies of all the clan children in the Li Palace. Almost all of them have small rice-grain-sized lumps on their backs and legs. Scars. No one can tell where these wounds come from, and most of them appear on the body when they wake up. Because they are too small, I always thought they were mosquito bites and never aroused alertness."

Lu You was astonished and said, "Could it be those ghost witch doctors who sneaked into the Li Palace under the cover of night? But why did they leave wounds? Could it be..."

"It should be for blood collection."

Qi Yunchu gave the answer directly: "According to the dining room, in the past year, half of the food tonic prescriptions prescribed by the Yaowang Institute are for treating the symptoms of both qi and blood deficiency. And if you are not tired of this yard, you have already It should be found that the clan's children in Li Palace are all pale, obviously suffering from anemia."

Lu You was so ashamed that he couldn't even raise his head, he just said to himself: "But I don't know what is so different about the blood of this clan..."

Qi Yunchu chuckled, as if he knew the answer, but deliberately didn't mention it.

Lu You pondered for a while, and suddenly became nervous again: "By the way...Rong Ze, he also lived in Liuquanli Palace for a while, will he also..."

Qi Yunchu said: "Before I came here, I ordered people to check the bodies of Prince Duan and his son. Don't talk about the young prince, even Prince Duan couldn't find any traces on his body. If you questioned the eunuchs around, you never listened." Said about the sudden wound."

"Only the two of them?"

As Lu You savored these words, a strange scene suddenly popped up in his mind.

He pondered: "About King Duan, there is one thing I don't know whether to say it or not..."

"Prince friend Mo Yuchou, was originally a wealthy businessman in the East China Sea. Over the years, he and Prince Duan have been in pairs, and their love has increased."

Qi Yunchu actually rushed ahead of him and said in one breath: "This person is by his side day and night, so there is probably no chance for anyone who wants to do something."

"cough……"

Tang Ruilang, who was staying at the side, vaguely knew that the Prince Duan they were talking about was the husband of his late sister, and felt that it was necessary to make a noise.

However, no one paid attention to his feelings.

"So, King Duan probably didn't know about this matter."

Although Lu You didn't have much influence on that crazy Zhao Qing, he was relieved to think that Zhao Rongze would not be involved.

Almost everything to say was finished, Qi Yunchu finally got up to say goodbye.

"From today onwards, I will personally take care of the Ghost Rong witch doctor. As for the various chores in Zichen Palace, I will leave it to you to handle."

"I?"

The heavy burden suddenly fell on his shoulders, Lu You knew that he couldn't postpone it, but he still had some concerns: "But Swiss Franc..."

Qi Yunchu raised his hand to stop him from struggling.

"I'll give you another ten days. During this period, Yu Nu will handle various affairs in the province. After ten days, whether Tang Ruilang is dead or alive, you have to go back to Zichen Palace. Otherwise, I will never go back for the rest of my life!"

Lu You knew that he was kind to him, so he was naturally overjoyed.

Qi Yunchu didn't talk much to him, but before leaving, he said something meaningful to Tang Ruilang.

"Today is a ten-day holiday. I am not the only one who will find time to come here. You can do it yourself."

After Qi Yunchu left, the courtyard settled down again.

Tang Ruilang ate the peanuts and walnuts that Lu You peeled for him, and muttered, "You said that Qi Yunchu, why is he so serious about the witch doctor?"

"You asked me, and I want to ask you."

Lu You brushed off the peanut clothes that fell on the skirt of his clothes for him, and asked, "You've been really weird recently, not only sometimes you don't match your words, but you're always acting weird. What's going on?"

Tang Ruilang knew that he was just guessing without evidence, so he nodded half-truthfully.

"Is there any way, my brain is poisoned."

"..."

As expected, Lu You had no choice but to change the subject: "I will return to Beijing in ten days, and then you will return to the Tang Mansion."

"I dont go."

Tang Ruilang didn't know anything about his family's affairs, and he was afraid that his secret would be revealed before he even crossed the threshold.She thought to herself that it would be better to stay in the Li Palace and find out all the memories, and then go back to see her parents in full.

Just as he was thinking of this, he heard another sound of footsteps outside.Wangcai and Laifu who were lying at his feet all pricked up their ears, and then someone knocked on the courtyard door.
