Early the next morning, Lu Yan brought Bai Daonian to the East Palace.
The bronze furnace with animal face pattern in the hall emits green smoke, the earth dragon is burning very vigorously, and the surrounding temperature is like summer.
The prince was sitting on the couch, wearing a dragon-patterned satin robe in plain goose-colored with gold threads, neat hair on the temples, and an extraordinary appearance.
The prince's appearance is like a mother's. In terms of appearance, he is indeed more handsome than the other princes, but he has been ill for a long time, and his eyebrows are slightly haggard.
As the saying goes, the princes and generals are kind, and the momentum of the Tian family will never be compromised by illness. The prince only asked a question, and Bai Daonian knelt on the ground tremblingly.
How could Bai Daonian think that the elder brother Lu said was actually the prince of the dynasty of Dajin.
"How much time do I have left?" the prince asked again.
Lu Yan frowned and said, "His Royal Highness."
The prince covered his mouth with a handkerchief, trembling all over, coughing violently, and then said, "Shi Yan, I just want to hear the truth."
The prince paused and looked at Bai Daonian again: "Doctor Bai doesn't have to be concerned, but it's okay to say it."
After Bai Daonian checked the prince's pulse, it was impossible to say that he was not shocked. This kind of pulse was typical of external yang and internal deficiency. On the surface, it seemed to pass, but in fact, his body was almost hollowed out.
"Can Caomin take a look at the medicine that the prince uses on weekdays?" Bai Daonian asked.
The prince glanced at Huangmen and said, "Go and bring the records of the prescriptions from the lonely year to Doctor Bai."
After a while, Huangmen walked in with a collection of prescriptions.
Bai Daonian carefully read the Prince's medication for the past year.
At first, I looked at the past, Banxia, Tian Nanxing, Zaoying, Chuan Beimu, Zhuru... Most of the medicines used were phlegm-relieving, cough-relieving and asthma-relieving, but three months ago, as the condition worsened, the dosage was actually It has doubled from a year ago. Light powder, Epimedium, Sijiqing, Houttuynia Cordyceps, Cordyceps sinensis…
It seems that all the precious medicinal materials in the world are used in the East Palace, but the mutual restraint between the medicines is ignored. Take Epimedium, for example, this aphrodisiac and qi medicine should never be used together with Peng pollen. , using too much will only have the opposite effect.
Bai Daonian frowned, his forehead was covered with sweat, and it was easier said than done to tell the prince of a country about his illness.
Lu Yan whispered: "But there is a problem with the prescription?"
"There is nothing wrong with this prescription on the surface, it's just that two of the medicines have the effect of restraining each other, and they should never be taken together..." He thought for a moment, and said in his heart, "Just this prescription, if Your Highness takes it again, I'm afraid Time is running out…”
Time is running out.
Who would dare to say that in the East Palace
After listening to these four words, not to mention that the inner servant beside the prince couldn't stand, even Lu Yan's expression changed.
Lu Yan said: "Doctor Bai has seen the problem, can you give it a try?"
Bai Daonian said honestly: "His Royal Highness's illness is not a disease of wind-cold, and the grass people dare not talk about grasping the word, only dare to say that they will try their best."
The prince said: "No matter what the result is, Gu will not blame you."
Bai Daonian calmed down and said in a low voice, "Caomin still has something to say to His Royal Highness."
The prince nodded, "You said."
Bai Daonian said: "Caomin has been practicing medicine for many years, and he has seen many incurable diseases. Some people look strong and strong, but die suddenly because of sudden heart palpitations. Caomin has also seen a person who was cured of tuberculosis..."
Hearing this, the prince smiled sincerely, "This is the first time I have heard of it."
"Every sentence said by Caomin is true, and there is absolutely no falsehood."
"Okay, Gu knows." The prince said.
—
After Bai Daonian left, the prince left Lu Yan with Lu Yan for lunch. After stopping the chopsticks, he said solemnly: "Shi Yan, I want to ask you to check the whereabouts of the two people."
"Your Highness, please speak." Lu Yan said.
"I want to find the three girls of the Shen family, and the young master."
…
After Lu Yan came out of the East Palace, he has been very worried.
The Chengxi Canal collapsed, and the Marquis of Yunyang was implicated in the crime of dereliction of duty. The prince interceded for Marquis Yunyang, which immediately provoked the anger of the saint and was imprisoned in the East Palace for three months... But now the saint wanted to help the prince, and the prince was the first to look for him. , turned out to be Shen Zhen.
But he was the one who hid Shen Zhen, so how could he find it
Lu Yan rubbed his temples irritably, dragged himself exhausted, and went to Jingzhao Mansion.
Sun Xu was drinking tea with a bowl of tea, and a Lu banquet was held, and he immediately put on a smile, "Long time no see, Mr. Lu, is the Jingzhou case still going well?"
Because it was an unannounced visit, no one in Beijing knew that Lu Yan was going to Yangzhou, and they all thought he was going to Jingzhou.
Lu Yan nodded and said, "It's going well."
Sicang joined the army and said, "Lord Lu is not here, but I missed an amazing thing."
Lu Yan raised the corner of his mouth and shook his head gently.
It is said that this Sicang of their Jingzhao Mansion joined the army. Not only did he like to talk things out, but he also had a very rich expression. Lu Yan often felt that it was really a talent for him to work in Jingzhao Mansion.
Sun Xu took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "This matter has something to do with you, Lord Lu."
Lu Yan turned over the recent case and said, "Really?"
Sun Xu said: "Last October, the case of Wang Zhao and others abducting and selling unexposed women, does Master Lu still remember?"
Lu Yan asked in surprise, "Isn't this case over yet?" It was still winter when he left the capital, and it was already March.
Sun Xu handed Lu Yan a case file and said, "After we got the search warrant, we raided Wang Zhao's house, and the Wang family really built a secret passage. As soon as we entered, we found the bodies of missing women inside. Waiting for the scene, even the well-informed Zhou Yuzuo couldn't help but vomit. It's just that we were a step late, and by the time we got there, Wang Zhao had already disappeared."
Sun Xu watched Sicang who was beside him eager to join the army, and said, "Sure, tell me."
Sicang's eyes lit up, his hands clapped, and he said loudly: "Wang Zhao ran away, and his brother-in-law from the Xianbei tribe ran away too, but the sky net was so sloppy that there was no leakage. Finally, one night, I was waiting for Mr. Zheng's miraculous plan. Under the guidance, Wang Zhao and his accomplice were caught."
At this time, Zheng Jingzhao just happened to pass by and coughed very embarrassingly.
Sun Xu bowed his head and laughed, and couldn't help but slander: This week, the adults must have an extra eye on the back of the head, otherwise, why did Zheng Jingzhao just appear and flatter him exactly
You must know that they were able to catch Wang Zhao and others, not because of Master Zheng's magic tricks, but because of the portrait.
At this time, Zheng Jingzhao said slowly: "This case can be solved thanks to the female painter that Master Lu found."
Hearing the female painter, Sicang couldn't help but feel even more excited, "Lord Lu, if you were here, you would definitely be amazed! That Wang Zhao's brother-in-law is really from Xianbei! The appearance is exactly the same as the portrait, just like copying one. Fan."
Lu Yan was taken aback for a moment, although he knew that Sicang's joining the army must be exaggerated, but he could also imagine that her paintings must be somewhat similar.
After all, Shen Zhen's painter was indeed the most spiritual he had ever seen.
When the value was scattered, Sun Xu whispered to Lu Yan, "I don't know which girl is the female painter that Mr. Lu brought last time?"
Lu Yan frowned, "What's the matter with Master Sun?"
Sun Xu said: "I happen to have a case in hand, and I also need to draw a portrait. If it is an adult..."
Lu Yan's footsteps stopped, and a very fake smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I'm sorry, Master Sun. It's really inconvenient for me to tell her who she is. As for the reason, Master Sun can also guess."
Sun Xu nodded his head clearly, and couldn't help but whispered regretfully: "Hey, a woman is confined in a boudoir, and she can't even give full play to her own talents. It's a pity, it's a pity."
Getting on the carriage, Lu Yan's eyes swelled inexplicably.
I don't know what day it is today, but one or two are looking for her.
Yang Zong whispered: "Master, shall we go back to the Duke's Mansion today?"
Lu Yan sighed, "No."
—
While holding the lantern, Lu Yan pushed open the door of Lanyue Pavilion, but Shen Zhen was not in the house.
"What about her?"
Mo Yue understood and hurriedly said, "The girl is in the east wing."
The east wing of Chengyuan is actually two rooms, separated by a long screen with huanghuali wood circular carvings of birds and animals inlaid with jade. The whole wall inside is full of bookshelves, which are full of various miscellaneous notes and paintings and calligraphy collected by Lu Yan. There is a Luo An couch outside, and there is a hanging painting of "Nine Fish Picture" on the east wall.
Shen Zhen was sitting on the Arhat couch, playing with some picture scrolls, the lights reflected on her face, and several unclosed picture scrolls were scattered on her lap.
Lu Yan walked forward and said solemnly, "What are you tossing about here?"
His voice was naturally low, with an aura that was not angry and self-pretentious, but Shen Zhen was used to listening to it, so he was no longer afraid of him.
Hearing the sound, Shen Zhen slowly looked at Lu Yan, and saw that he was wearing a black beast butterfly pattern brocade cloak outside, and the dark purple official uniform that was very familiar.
Such dark clothes always make him appear cold and inhuman, but if you look at it with the soft eyes from the corners of his eyes at the moment, it will add an indescribable charm.
Shen Zhen had to admit that, as a court official, he was indeed more charming than Wei Jiawei.
He walked straight to her side, picked up a painting at random, looked at it, and said, "This is what you painted?" He remembered most of the paintings in the room in the east wing. The ink was not dry yet. Must be her masterpiece.
Shen Zhen nodded, "Yes."
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly draw landscapes?"
Shen Zhen's cheeks were slightly red, she tugged at the front of his shirt, and said softly, "Does your lord remember what you promised me?"
Lu Yan frowned deliberately and said, "Which one?"
Sure enough, the little girl's face showed a little anxious expression, "Didn't your lord agree to me going to Daxingshan Temple on the seventh day of the third lunar month?"
Lu Yan took her little hand, "Well, I remember."
Shen Zhen took a step closer to her, raised her foot, and whispered in his ear, "I want to sell these paintings, and then go to Master Yuan Shen to pray for my mother."
She didn't say the rest, and he understood what was going on.
Co-author, she has been poking around in the East Wing for the past two days, is she saving money for incense
