Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

"After drinking alcohol today, the pulse may not be accurate. I'd better wait until I sober up to see it another day."

Daiyu heard what Mo Zongliang said, even though Mo Zongliang was smiling, her heart still sank.

Over the years, so many famous doctors have been invited, and Mother Jia even invited an imperial doctor to see her, but no one can get rid of the root cause of her disease.Mo Zongliang said the same thing today, she felt more and more hopeless.

Daiyu has long been used to being disappointed, although now she feels that Mo Zongliang can't find a cure for her illness, but she has no other ideas, as usual, she just sits by and listens to them silently.

Guo Zongbao and the others are used to wandering the rivers and lakes, and they have heard a lot of anecdotes.Yang Zongquan had been separated from the two senior brothers for a long time, and they talked for half the night last night, but they still didn't talk enough, and now they just continued the topic of last night, talking about some interesting things that the senior brothers encountered after they separated.

At this time, Lin Ruhai had arrived at Prince Zhongshun's mansion, and met Prince Zhongshun in the study.

Just as Lin Ruhai was about to salute, Li Longning, Prince Zhongshun hurriedly supported him, and said, "What's our relationship? It's not outsiders, there are no outsiders, why bother to be so polite?"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "After all, you are the prince. You are looking for me so urgently today, is there something important?"

Li Longning looked him up and down, and nodded slightly: "Looking at you, there should be nothing important, and I can feel relieved. I heard that you were assassinated again, and I was really worried for a long time."

"Your Majesty thinks the same way, so he wants to transfer me back to the capital."

Li Longning sneered and said, "I just said it, there are no outsiders here, so why are you reluctant to tell the truth?"

Lin Ruhai was still thinking about it, but Li Longning couldn't wait any longer, and asked, "Come on! Who did you find out this time?"

He asked bluntly, but Lin Ruhai didn't dare to tell the truth.

He just smiled and said: "Before I returned to Beijing, I corresponded with some relatives and friends in Beijing. I only know that you, Prince Zhongshun, are an idle prince who likes to listen to plays and have fun all day long. If His Majesty didn't force you, I'm afraid you wouldn't even go to court. Why are you so concerned about these things now?"

Li Longning sneered, and said: "If I don't just care about listening to the show, then the guy doesn't know how to deal with me. Ruhai, ah Ruhai, you've become more and more cautious after you've held a foreign job for these years. I can't even believe it?"

Lin Ruhai was silent for a while, then sighed quietly: "It's not that I can't trust you, it's just that that happened back then..."

He paused, showing a rare look of anger.

Li Longning patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "It's my fault, I shouldn't bring up your sad things. Your teacher's family is really innocent. They were so loyal, but they ended up like this."

Lin Ruhai shook his head and smiled wryly. After finally calming down, Fang Zai said: "It's all over. This time I checked the Yan Xiao, but I didn't find any big shots. I only found out that it might be related to the Marquis of Jinxiang. But they simply Xu is clear that if he continues to work, he will be found out and liquidated, so he abandoned the group of salt lords, just to protect himself. They are very secretive, and I have no evidence at hand to prove that they are related."

Li Longning pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, his eyes were filled with gloom.

Lin Ruhai drank tea silently, just waiting for Li Longning to figure it out.

It didn't take long for Li Longning to straighten out the twists and turns.

He sneered and said, "It seems that the king of Nan'an County has never let go of his ambition until now."

"Nan'an County King?" Lin Ruhai sneered, "I'm afraid it's not just Nan'an County King!"

The family of the Marquis of Jinxiang has always had the closest relationship with the King of Nan'an County.In addition, there is Linchang Bo, who has always been in close contact with the Nan'an County King's family.

If it's just these people, that's fine.After the founding of the country that year, the emperor conferred four kings with different surnames, the king of Dongping County, the king of Nan'an County, the king of Xining County, and the king of Beijing County. Duke, Duke Ning, Duke Rong.These four kings and eight males have close contacts with each other.

Although some of these families have long since lost their glory in the past and are declining day by day, and some families are holding on to their airs, there are many of them who are still strong.And there are many aristocratic families who are related to these four princes and eight princes, and there are even relatives of the emperor.

Lin Ruhai's investigation of the salt lord so far has only found out that it may be related to the Marquis of Jinxiang, which has already made him fearful today.

Li Longning let out a long sigh: "My brother, it's just that he was too careful about these things."

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said: "It's no wonder that he is careful. After all, these great families are too close to each other. They defend each other. If His Majesty really wants to move them, it will definitely cause chaos. And the world today is not as peaceful as it used to be. If it gets messy, I'm afraid other places will also be messy, and it will be even more difficult to clean up."

Li Longning sighed again when he thought of the robbers who were making trouble outside Beijing these days.

He thought again, and asked in surprise: "Ru Hai, do you think Brother Huang also has doubts about you when he asked you to return to Beijing?"

Lin Ruhai found out the head of the aristocratic family headed by the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, but the Lin family is also related to Rongguo Mansion, one of the Eight Dukes!

Lin Ruhai snorted and said, "Doubt me? You are overthinking. No matter how suspicious your majesty is, you can't suspect me. Zhuo Jing also died in the hands of Yan Xiao!"

Li Longning said: "I'm afraid that the emperor will think that this is just a deliberate sacrifice by you to deceive him into trusting him. Besides, the death of Mrs. Ling that day was not directly caused by Yan Xiao's assassination. She will be seriously injured later. something that could not have been foreseen.”

Lin Ruhai sneered and said: "If my Lin family hadn't lost contact with other aristocratic families, His Majesty would indeed be so suspicious. However, my Lin family has gradually lost contact with their ancestral marquises. Besides, you should Is there really no one sent by His Majesty around me?"

Li Longning thought about how the Lin family was thin and weak, and how they had little contact with other families in front of a lonely minister, and he understood a little.Thinking back to how Lin Ruhai satirized those who relied on their ancestral shadows to occupy official positions but did not do much in the court, and finally thought about how Lin Ruhai's teacher died, I also understood why the emperor did not doubt Lin Ruhai.

Even if he was sitting there, as long as he thought of the Lin family and Lin Ruhai's past behavior, he would not think that Lin Ruhai would collude with the four kings and eight princes.

As for Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng having more private contacts, it's really not a big deal.It is doubtful that people who are related by marriage do not communicate with each other.Furthermore, how many people in the court can't understand Jia Zheng's talents?This is really relying on the shade of the ancestors to be an official, and even now it is somewhat relying on having a good daughter.

Yan Xiao had almost finished asking about his evil deeds, and the rest of Li Longning already knew what was in his mind, so there was no need to ask any more questions. Li Longning then asked about Lin Ruhai's two children.

Daiyu and Chongyu lived in the Rongguo Mansion for a while, how could those well-informed people in Beijing didn't know about it?Even the fact that Daiyu is weak and sick has been known by quite a few people.

What Li Longning is most concerned about now is Daiyu's illness.Prince Zhongshun's mansion had never had much contact with other aristocratic families other than the imperial family, and it was inconvenient for him to send someone to Rongguo mansion to inquire about a little girl's condition, so he had to keep an eye on it secretly.

Lin Ruhai's expression darkened when he heard Li Longning's question.

Pian Chongyu secretly found out that Daiyu's medicines in Jia's family were all shoddy, so he couldn't say more.Even if he had a good personal relationship with Li Longning, these things were not publicized, so he prevaricated.

Li Longning observed his words and demeanor, and knew that he must be in trouble, so he didn't mention it too much, he just said that if necessary, he could call the imperial physician in his name.

Lin Ruhai nodded in agreement, but he didn't care much in his heart.

He has invited so many famous doctors, many of them are also qualified as imperial doctors.Those people can't do anything, the bureaucracy is becoming more and more common in the imperial hospital, and more imperial physicians who have been working in the world are not necessarily inferior to the doctors outside the imperial hospital who only devote themselves to medical skills.

Furthermore, Lin Ruhai had been with Mo Zongliang for a long time, so he knew how good Mo Zongliang's medical skills were.Now he pinned his hopes more on Mo Zongliang.

When Lin Ruhai came out from Zhongshun Palace and returned home, Daiyu and Chongyu had already returned home.Guo Zongbao and Guo Sixi would stay at Yang's house for one more night, but Mo Zongliang came back with them.

Since Lin Ruhai knew that Mo Zongliang had met Daiyu, he deliberately asked Mo Zongliang if there was a cure for Daiyu's disease, but seeing that Daiyu had little interest in it, and Mo Zongliang didn't seem to care much about it, so he had to press it first Down.

The night is getting darker.

Daiyu had been forced by Ruhai to go back to her room to rest, and Mo Zongliang secretly gave Ruhai a look.

Lin Ruhai understood, and walked to the study with Mo Zongliang one after the other.

Chongyu has a keen mind and hurriedly followed.

When he got to the door of the study, Ruhai pushed the door open, and Chongyu got in impatiently first, making Ruhai laugh and scold: "Why are you so anxious! I didn't tell you not to listen!"

Chongyu's performance in the capital surprised Ruhai, and he felt more and more that although his son was young, he already had his own ideas, and he was not going to continue to hide some things from Chongyu.Besides, most of what Mo Zongliang wants to talk about now has to do with Daiyu's condition, let alone hide it from Chongyu.

Chongyu laughed straight in the study: "Dad still has some things that he doesn't want me to know. I'm afraid that even my sister's condition, Daddy only wants to keep it from me. It's better to take the initiative to come and listen."

Lin Ruhai and Mo Zongliang looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Both of them understood that Chongyu's real intention was to ask Mr. Lin Ruhai about the past.

When he was still in Yangzhou, Chongyu was still very restrained, and only searched for some clues from the books in Ruhai's study.When he arrived in the capital, he got in touch with the servants of the Lin family, and after showing some of his extraordinaryness, Chongyu asked the servants about his teacher Ruhai.It's just that the servants in the mansion didn't dare to say anything, and even wrote a letter to report the matter to Ru Hai.

Chongyu also knew that there must be something hidden about this matter, so he didn't dare to investigate outside, so he had to wait for Lin Ruhai to take the initiative to inform him.

Lin Ruhai now has the heart to tell him that it's just that Nai Daiyu's condition is more important tonight.

Mo Zongliang checked Daiyu's pulse this morning, and already had some thoughts about Daiyu's physical condition.Today, he paid close attention to Daiyu again and became more and more sure. For this reason, even though he never felt Daiyu's pulse again, he dared to make some judgments.

But he didn't dare to say that he could teach Daiyu to recover, he only said that according to his prescription, making pills and teaching Daiyu to take it every day, it would also keep Daiyu growing up safely and her condition would not get worse.

That's it, Lin Ruhai was overjoyed.

Many doctors he hired in the past actually told him that this girl might not grow up.

But Chongyu became more and more worried when he heard it, for fear that something would happen in the future that would make Daiyu sad, so with Mo Zongliang's pills, Daiyu still couldn't escape the ending of the original work.
