Chapter 128 Six Flowers Flying 24

Five days later, when Cheng Yunzhi went to diagnose Huo Qinghong's pulse, he handed Huo Weilou a simply compiled booklet, which listed dozens of prescriptions, decoctions, and fragrant pills for alleviating the poison of gold ointment. , acupuncture meridians, veins, etc. are clearly organized and the items are very detailed. Even a layman in Huo Weilou could understand half of it by casually flipping through the book.

Cheng Yunzhi said again: "I can't ask everyone for pulse and diagnosis, so what is recorded in this booklet has different explanations for the constitution, age, symptoms, and the length of time you have smoked gold ointment. Which people are suitable for using what?" Medicines, how to perform acupuncture, and some taboos are also written down. However, it still depends on each person, and the effect will be greatly reduced. Of course, if you meet a doctor with excellent medical skills, with my If the writing method is slightly adjusted, the effect will be better."

There was some solemnity in Huo Weilou's eyes, "There are too many people who have been poisoned. Mr. Cheng's achievement of this step is already a great way to save the world. Sir, would you mind if I hand over the book of Ci prescriptions to the Taiyuan Hospital?"

Cheng Yunzhi's lips curved, "What do you care about? Since I can offer you this prescription, there are no taboos except for one thing. If you are just an ordinary doctor, you'd better not change my prescription at will, let alone make it big. "Moreover, there are a lot of medicines used here, such as decoctions, fragrant pills, etc., and the medicinal materials are also in conflict with each other. A mistake or omission can actually harm people."

This statement was also explained in this book. Huo Weilou responded and looked at Bo Ruoyou again, and saw that she was also looking forward to it with bright eyes. Without further ado, Huo Weilou took the square book. Then he entered the palace.

This thing was presented to the palace through Huo Weilou's hand, and Emperor Jianhe nodded with almost no effort. He also convened a group of imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to look at it. Because the discussion was complete, no one could find any mistakes. , can be regarded as the most perfect strategy at the moment. Emperor Jianhe immediately made the decision and immediately implemented the treatment strategy to the hospital camp south of the city.

After the order was issued, Emperor Jianhe asked Huo Weilou who was the person who formulated this recipe. Huo Weilou naturally told the truth. When he heard that it was a member of the Cheng family, Emperor Jianhe frowned and was a little unhappy.

The incident happened more than ten years ago, but it was the person who was convicted by his own decree. Emperor Jianhe naturally had a grudge. Huo Weilou did not say much and only showed the report sent back from the southwest to Emperor Jianhe. .

The popularity of gold ointment in the southwest has been growing for a long time. In several state capitals, the number of people addicted to the disease, regardless of age or sex, is hundreds of times that of the capital city. Not only that, there are even court officials who have been infected with the drug. Local officials control the administration of state officials. Lifeline, dereliction of duty and corruption are already serious crimes on a daily basis. If officials continue to do this again, you can imagine what kind of chaos there will be!

Emperor Jianhe was not a fatuous master after all, so he quickly made up his mind, "I don't know whether it will be useful or not. Let's just use it first. I can't worry about so much anymore."

Huo Weilou hesitated for a moment and looked a little embarrassed. Emperor Jianhe raised his eyebrows and said, "It's rare for you to look like this. What else can you do?"

Huo Weilou said with some self-reproach: "I have known the identity of this doctor for a long time, but I also knew a little about what happened back then, so I didn't mind it. At the beginning, he was not sure and did not dare to give advice rashly. Your Majesty I also know that the matter is so important now that Taiyuan dare not take responsibility. He is a commoner now, so he has to weigh a lot."

Emperor Jianhe frowned, "Then how did you convince him?"

"I made a promise to him. If this method of treatment works, then he will have made an immortal contribution. When the time comes, I will intercede with His Majesty on his behalf and get a reward from Your Majesty."

Emperor Jianhe frowned deeper, and Huo Weilou continued: "But he is not greedy for glory and wealth. He has only one request. If he really saves people this time, he wants to ask your majesty to restore the reputation of the Cheng family and order Cheng Descendants of the family continue to practice medicine."

Emperor Jianhe couldn't help but patted the arm of the chair, "Are you really good at making wishes? Do you dare to agree to any kind of wish? Do you know that I will agree? If I don't agree, what will happen to your Marquis Wu Zhao's face? Can it be saved?"

Huo Weilou pursed his lips, "Your Majesty has always put the people first in his administration. This time it almost caused a national disaster. In comparison, the next grace decree to add some reputation to a nameless clan is nothing. What."

Emperor Jianhe sighed, "What else can we do? People still need to be saved, but it depends on whether his treatment strategy is effective." After a slight pause, Emperor Jianhe said again: " The people sent to the southwest were too slow before. If this method is really effective, there is no need for others to go. You can go to the southwest yourself and spend half a year to renovate and renovate several state capitals in the southwest."

When Huo Weilou heard this, his heart sank slightly. If it was normal, he would have gone on such an errand, but he knew a little about the situation in the southwest. If he wanted to clean it up, half a year would not be enough, but now once he leaves Beijing , wouldn’t it be that I couldn’t see Bo Ruoyou for half a year?

Seeing that he did not respond, Emperor Jianhe raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong? Do you have a better way?"

Huo Weilou has no better way. In addition to the Shen family taking the lead, the poison of gold ointment in the southwest is now also implicated in the local nobles. Any ordinary court official who goes to the southwest will only be surrounded. Even he He felt that no one could leave this matter to him as swiftly and decisively as he could, but after half a year, he was really hesitant.

However, it only took two seconds before Huo Weilou responded respectfully, "There is indeed no better candidate."

Emperor Jianhe nodded, not knowing what he was thinking of, and said in a low voice, "I also know that it is quite hard for you to travel around all year round, but in this world, you are the only one who has my trust and the prestige of my means. , it is even more difficult for others to compare with you. In the past few days, the case of the Ministry of Household Affairs has been finalized by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, so you can take a rest so as not to be tired."

Huo Weilou quickly thanked the emperor for his compassion.

After leaving the palace gate, Huo Weilou felt heavy in his heart. He believed in Cheng Yunzhi, especially when he saw Huo Qinghong's transformation with his own eyes. In addition, Cheng Yunzhi was extra cautious and would rather spend more time researching than rush to give advice. His greed for merit made him believe that his method would be effective when he presented the book of prescriptions. This also meant that he would definitely leave Beijing in one month.

It is already midsummer in May. He will leave Beijing in June and spend at least half a year in the southwest. By the time he returns, it will be the end of the year. Thinking of this, Huo Weilou feels his heart become anxious.

The southwest is not the farthest place he has ever been on a job, and the poison of gold ointment is not the most troublesome job. But now that there is someone more concerned about him, he has more selfishness, and it is no longer as it used to be. There is no scruple, just like the ruthless and desireless knife in the emperor's hand.

Huo Weilou had a stern look on his face and ordered the carriage to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice. The busier he became, the more he knew what he should do right now. His life in the past twenty-three years was like a step-by-step chess game. Even though he had figured out how to move the next hundred steps, he didn't expect that when he met Bo Ruoyou, everything would need to be rearranged.

When Huo Weilou returned to the Hou Mansion in the evening, he found that Lin Zhao had arrived at the house. He came to visit Huo Qinghong. Hearing that Huo Weilou had returned, he hurriedly came to the main courtyard to meet him. Huo Weilou looked at Lin Zhao with eyes. It was calm, as long as he didn't think about Bo Ruoyou, Huo Weilou still valued the younger generation of aristocratic families like Lin Zhao.

He looked calm, but he didn't expect Lin Zhao to be a little clueless today, "Master Hou, I heard that there is a way to understand the poison of gold ointment today, but it was Uncle Cheng who suggested it?"

Huo Weilou nodded in agreement, and Lin Zhao asked: "I heard from Eunuch Fu, is the Marquis still willing to rehabilitate Uncle Cheng's family?"

Huo Weilou rubbed the black jade ring on his knuckles, his face dripping with water, "If we can really save people this time, it will be a great contribution. It is also necessary to rehabilitate the Cheng family, and the Cheng family said that what happened back then There’s nothing wrong with coming.”

Lin Zhao looked happy, but his eyes looked at Huo Weilou with a sense of scrutiny. Even though Lin Zhao was young and handsome, Huo Weilou had no way of discerning people's hearts. He looked at Lin Zhao calmly, I know in my heart that he came here for a purpose.

"That's great! The second sister follows Uncle Cheng and is helpless in the capital. If the Cheng family regains its former reputation and status, the second sister will be much better off. In the future, whether it is marriage or something, she will also have a person. Rely on."

Huo Weilou said without changing his expression: "Speaking of marriage and Bo's affairs, you and your father must be very worried."

When talking about this matter, Lin Zhao's expression suddenly changed. Firstly, Mr. Bo was really guilty. Secondly, Huo Weilou's words also sounded like a test. He hurriedly said: "There are indeed some difficulties these days. But Lord Marquis, don’t worry, my father has always been fair, and he won’t show favoritism this time.”

Huo Weilou nodded, "That's natural. I know how your father is an official. But if this happens, your marriage will probably be criticized more. However, your father and the Bo family are family friends, so I think it's okay to do so." There is no other way."

Lin Zhao felt hot for no reason, "Yes, the marriage will not be changed."

Huo Weilou also praised the Lin family as people who keep their word. Lin Zhao felt helpless in his heart. Seeing that it was getting late, he couldn't help but get up and say goodbye. When he went out, he looked quite embarrassed.

As soon as he left, Huo Weilou's face completely darkened. At this time, the night had shrouded, and a clear moon hung slanting in the sky. The clear brilliance poured down on the ground, and the eyes were full of silver. It was too late. , but he felt a little depressed.

After only a moment of hesitation, he said, "Here comes, prepare your carriage and horses."

Eunuch Fu came in puzzled, "Where do you plan to go, Lord Marquis? It's so late..."

Huo Weilou said nothing, but Eunuch Fu rolled his eyes, "Isn't the Marquis going to find Youyou?"

If it were a business matter, Huo Weilou would not be able to keep silent. But for Huo Weilou, only if it was related to Bo Ruoyou, he would be so silent about private matters.

Eunuch Fu smiled bitterly for a moment, "What did Mr. Lin say to make the Marquis unhappy?"

Huo Weilou shook his head. Unpredictably, he did not show his unhappiness too obviously, as if doing so seemed too petty. He added: "Send someone to the princess mansion to say that I am going to visit my mother tonight." ."

Eunuch Fu was surprised and said hurriedly: "The old slave will go there personally."

Huo Weilou nodded and quickly went out and got on the carriage. The carriage went straight to Changxingfang. After twisting and turning two sticks of incense, it stopped in front of the Cheng family's house. The attendant came up to call the door. Zhou Liang opened the door first. .

Zhou Liang was very surprised when he saw that it was Huo Weilou who had arrived, but Huo Weilou did not get off the carriage and only wanted to see Bo Ruoyou. Bo Ruoyou had just finished taking a bath and was about to take a rest early. He changed his clothes and came out.

When he reached the carriage, Huo Weilou opened the curtain and said, "I'll take you somewhere."

Bao Ruoyou was a little suspicious. She turned around and said something to Zhou Liang before getting on the carriage. As soon as she stooped into the carriage, her hand was caught. Huo Weilou pulled her forward, almost wanting to hug her into his arms. Lin's strength weakened by three points, and he just made her sit beside him. He held her hand and rubbed it, his eyes dark and unreadable.

His thoughts arose suddenly, firstly because he was thinking about leaving Beijing in more than a month, and secondly because of Lin Zhao’s little thoughts that he couldn’t hide. When Bo Ruoyou sat down, he felt something was wrong with him, "Why are you so late, Mr. Hou?" Come here, where do you want to take me?"

"Go to the eldest princess's mansion." Huo Weilou couldn't help but raise his hand and go around behind her, taking her into his arms.

Bao Ruoyou's back straightened, "What, go now?" She became nervous instantly, but then the carriage started moving, and she anxiously went to hold his hand, "Is it inappropriate to go at this hour?"

Huo Weilou laughed, "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just right now."

Bo Ruoyou frowned, feeling a little uneasy. She let go of Huo Weilou's hand and sat upright. She subconsciously folded her hands in front of her, as if the eldest princess was already in front of her. She lowered her head to see what she had changed. She raised her hand to touch her hastily pulled up hair. She felt that this outfit was not dignified enough. She said angrily: "Master Hou is too sudden."

Huo Weilou held her hand again, "Youyou, as I told you, my mother is not what you think. She has improved somewhat in the past few days, and her mood is stable and she can recognize people. But she often They are all ill, so now she can’t tell the year, and she doesn’t know the years outside the house. You will know when you meet her, she will never make things difficult for you."

Bao Ruoyou still couldn't completely let go, and remembered something again, "I remember that after the Marquis returned to Beijing, Her Royal Highness the Princess sent someone to the Marquis's house."

The beautiful maid is still a gift.

Huo Weilou pinched her palm and said, "She was getting better at that time, but she suddenly became interested and asked someone to take care of me. If you ask her now, I'm afraid she won't even remember it. ”

Bao Ruoyou said "Oh" and began to narrow his eyes to think about how to deal with it in the eldest princess's mansion. Huo Weilou raised the corner of his lips when he saw her prepared look. At this time, he breathed slightly and smelled Bo Ruoyou's scent. The fragrant smell of her body after bathing was entangled in strands, which made him uneasy. His eyes darkened, and his hands covered her waist, holding her waist.

Bao Ruoyou felt a heat in his waist and quickly turned his eyes to look at him. When their eyes met, his eyes were thick with ink and he could not see clearly, but his voice was ordinary, "This afternoon, the hospital camp in the south of the city has been closed." I am using your adoptive father's healing method and will try it out for more than a month. If it works, I will send this healing method to the southwest, which is much more serious than the capital."

When it came to business, Bo Ruoyou calmed down and Huo Weilou continued: "Your Majesty has promised that if the addiction can be cured, the Cheng family's reputation will be restored. If your adoptive father is willing to be the imperial doctor again, It’s not impossible.”

Bo Ruoyou's eyes were filled with a bright light. Although many people knew that the Cheng family was not at fault in the old case, there was incriminating evidence and the crime was personally convicted by Emperor Jianhe. It was really difficult to vindicate Bo Ruoyou. You understand that without Huo Weilou, even if Cheng Yunzhi offers advice to save people, it will probably be difficult for him to rehabilitate the Cheng family.

She looked sideways at Huo Weilou, "Thank you, Lord Marquis. My adoptive father suffered a lot because of what happened back then, and the Cheng family fell apart because of it. Although it will not help the rest of the Cheng family now, I don't want to see Yi. My father also spent the rest of his life depressed and unwilling."

Huo Weilou rubbed his fingertips on her waist. The slight movement was not repulsive to her, but it still gave rise to the slightest itch. She couldn't help but want to avoid it, but Huo Weilou's hand followed him again. He gave her a firm squeeze and said, "You are not allowed to say thank you to me in the future."

Bao Ruoyou felt hot in his heart and nodded obediently. At this time, Huo Weilou said again: "It's just that your Majesty ordered me to go to the southwest. It's complicated over there. If there's no one capable of doing this, it will only take a few years for this golden ointment to be used." I can’t even find out clearly.”

Bo Ruoyou's pupils opened slightly, "How long will it take to go?"

"As little as three or four months, as long as half a year." Huo Weilou breathed and stared at her, seeing her eyes darken after hearing this, and the force on his hand became heavier, and he pulled her closer. "Do you want me to go or not?"

Bao Ruoyou had a lump in her throat and didn't know how to answer. March and April were long enough. If it takes half a year...she swallowed hard, "Is there no better candidate besides Mr. Hou?"

Huo Weilou looked directly into her eyes and said, "Yes."

Bo Ruoyou hesitated to speak, and after a few moments he said solemnly: "If the Marquis is gone, he will definitely be able to eliminate the poison, which will be great for the Southwest Prefecture and the entire Great Zhou Dynasty."

"This journey lasted for several months." He said in a deep voice.

Bo Ruoyou closed her eyes for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at him again, her eyes filled with warmth and softness, "I'm waiting in the capital for the return of the Marquis."

The dim light in Huo Weilou's eyes dimmed, and he pulled her into his arms. She quickly softened her body. Although Huo Weilou said he would leave after more than a month, at this moment, she felt something on the tip of her nose. Feeling sour, she gritted her teeth and waited for the pain to pass, then whispered softly: "Actually, no matter what I say, Mr. Hou will go."

Huo Weilou caressed her shoulders and back, as if he could touch her thin muscles and bones through the thin silk clothes. He almost acquiesced to her words, but there was an unbearable reluctance in his heart. This book For the first time, the errands he had to answer made him feel tired and bored.

When the carriage stopped in front of the eldest princess's house, Bao Ruoyou just stepped away from his arms. She was a little languid, and her original anxiety had all disappeared. At this moment, she had something more depressed in her heart. Seeing the eldest princess's Nervousness is nothing.

Eunuch Fu was waiting in front of the door. When he saw them arriving, his face lit up with joy, "Master Marquis, the eldest princess has been very well these days. The servant said that she won't look back at the old things from back then. Today you and I Let's go there together Youyou."

Huo Weilou took Bao Ruoyou's hand and led her into the gate of the princess mansion.

The eldest princess's mansion is just outside the imperial city, and is even more impressive than Wu Zhaohou's mansion. But when Bo Ruoyou entered the mansion, he also noticed a somewhat inexplicable desertion. There was only the eldest princess in the mansion all year round, and she was always sick. Now, the house has always closed its doors to thank guests. It is indeed difficult to be as bustling and lively as the noble family.

The mansion is huge, and along the way, many of the pavilions are closed, making it look desolate and desolate. Only the direction from the main courtyard to the water pavilion is brightly lit. Before I get close, two nuns have come to greet me. Huo Wei Lou saw that the two men had gentle expressions on their faces. They must have been elderly people with great status in the mansion. The two of them bowed and said that the eldest princess was painting in the water pavilion while secretly sizing up Bo Ruoyou.

Bao Ruoyou couldn't help but feel a little nervous again. She moved her knuckles, and Huo Weilou held her hand tighter. The two old ladies quickly lowered their eyes and showed respectful expressions as they walked along. After passing a pond with lotus leaves, they reached the water pavilion where the eldest princess was. Far away, Bo Ruoyou saw a middle-aged woman in rich clothes but extremely thin.

The eldest princess Zhao Lingxiao is painting in front of the water pavilion window. She is in her prime, with calm eyebrows and a focused expression. Because she is too thin, her back is a little rickety. Her wide sleeves are rolled up, and her wrist holding the pen is thin and white, giving people a A feeling of witherness and fragility.

The closer she got, the more Bo Ruoyou could see the paleness on her face. People who had been sick for many years would have weaker aura. But when she raised her eyes and looked over, she didn't have the aristocratic edge she had imagined.

Her eyes are as gentle as springs, with a bit of indifference and calmness, as if time has never left any traces of vicissitudes in her eyes, because these eyes make her look a little older due to long-term illness. His face became much softer.

When she saw Huo Weilou, there was a glint in her eyes.

"Lou'er——"

She came out holding the pen, with a little cinnabar on the tip, which was bright and eye-catching. Her face was very happy, "Are you coming back from the north?"

Mammy stepped forward and said gently: "Your Highness remembered it wrong. The Crown Prince is no longer in the north for a long time. He has been made a marquis."

Zhao Lingxiao was a little annoyed and sighed helplessly, "Look, I remembered it wrong again." After she finished speaking, she looked at Bo Ruoyou and looked at her with curiosity. Her eyes were like water, which instantly made Bo Ruoyou Ruoyou thought of her adopted mother who passed away.

She has no impression of her biological mother, but her adoptive mother Fangze is also a gentle and calm beautiful woman. She is not afraid at all. On the contrary, she is somewhat close to her. She calmly allows the eldest princess to look at her. She cannot imagine Such a gentle and elegant person would be tortured by years of madness. She is too thin, with only a thin layer of skin on her face, which shows that her bones are delicate and beautiful. It is conceivable that if she had not been sick, she would still be young even at the age of 10. A peerless figure.

Bao Ruoyou broke away from Huo Weilou's hand and said, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The eldest princess came forward, first looked at Bo Ruoyou carefully, then looked at Huo Weilou suspiciously, and then said in a very uncertain tone: "Lou'er, is this your wife? Mother can't remember clearly. , not many people come to my mother’s place, and my mother thinks she is very kind..."

She finished speaking hesitantly, and looked at her nanny a little helplessly. She pursed her lips and looked at Huo Weilou. Huo Weilou said warmly: "Mother, this is Ruoyou, she is indeed your daughter-in-law."
