Huo Weilou cut off his words in a calm manner.
He has always been someone who would very much like to be close to her, but at this moment when she hugged his waist, he was stunned for a few breaths before his chest heaved a little, "Youyou—"
He spoke in a deep voice, his voice seemed hoarse, but the hand hanging by his side did not move.
Seeing this, Bo Ruoyou hugged him even tighter, and rubbed his cheek against his chest, only then did he feel that his body no longer had the warmth of the past, but his chest was broad, as broad and solid as she imagined.
She didn't speak, and moved closer to him. At this moment, Huo Weilou raised his hand and embraced her, his arms tightened more and more, his hands wandered on her back, and then he clasped her deeply in his arms inside.
He lowered his head and took a deep breath on the top of her hair, and let out a long breath, his straight back finally came loose.
Bo Ruoyou could almost feel the firm texture under his light silk shirt, shyness flashed across her eyebrows, and she said in a soft voice: "The prince lost his mind when he was poisoned. Take what he said to heart."
Huo Weilou let out a "hmm", and Bo Ruoyou said annoyedly after changing the subject: "Your Majesty is too indulgent, although what he said this time was when he was unconscious, I don't know if he had such thoughts in the past , The son used to be the most obedient in front of Lord Hou, and when he gets better this time, Lord Hou must teach him a good lesson."
As she spoke, her voice dropped, "I've never heard anyone talk to Lord Hou like this, but I want to beat him for Lord Hou." After she finished speaking, she rubbed her cheek against Huo Weilou's heart again, "Master Hou is the best brother in the world, how could he make Master Hou feel so cold."
Huo Weilou's chest heaved very quickly, as if he hadn't expected that she could comfort him so much, what she said earlier was just deliberately lighthearted, she also said that Huo Qinghong didn't mean it from the heart, and then reprimanded Huo Qinghong for doing something wrong and trying to replace him He vented his anger, but only this last sentence, the heartache was palpable, was what she really wanted to say, and it instantly soothed the pain he had pretended to be innocent.
His breathing was tight, his heart overflowed with emotion, the bitterness in his throat finally dissipated at this moment, he took another deep breath, picked up Bao Ruoyou, took two steps forward, and put her on the On the desk, Bo Ruoyou was a little startled by this trip. Sitting on the desk like this, she could look up to him even when she raised her eyes.
Huo Weilou looked at her with deep eyes, his forehead almost touched her forehead, Bo Ruoyou's heart beat faster, but he said in a low voice, "Did you hear it just now?"
Thinking of what Huo Qinghong said, Bo Ruoyou felt a little sore in her heart, and nodded her head, "Yes".
The corners of Huo Weilou's lips twitched, his smile was quite bitter, "Do you feel scared?"
Bo Ruoyou was inexplicable, "Why are you afraid?"
Huo Weilou was silent for a moment at this time, and then said: "Because what he said is not all falsehood."
Bo Ruoyou recalled Huo Qinghong's words, not knowing which ones were angry words and which ones were true, Huo Weilou said shyly: "My father passed away early, he was very at odds with my mother, and he didn't die of illness as he said to the outside world."
Huo Qinghong said that Duke Ding was forced to death by the eldest princess, Bo Ruoyou was slightly startled, could it be true
Seeing her feeling a little surprised, Huo Weilou leaned over and hugged her again, she was sitting higher now, her chin could rest on his shoulder, and he hugged her neck.
"My mother is the eldest princess. At the beginning of the marriage, she was the one who fell in love with my father. My father had no admiration for my mother, but he had to accept the marriage gift. At the beginning of the marriage, he treated each other as a guest, but according to the rules of the dynasty, he became a son-in-law. Afterwards, he will not be able to hold real power in the court, so even though my father was additionally named Ding Guogong, he is just an idler."
"Father became more and more depressed, and he got better after I was born, but after a few years, he felt depressed again. After my sister was born, he even started to take a concubine. The daughter of a family friend took her back to the mansion."
Bo Ruoyou's heart skipped a beat, no wonder Huo Qinghong mentioned "a family of four" at that time, she didn't pay attention to it at that time, only now did she realize that Huo Weilou once had a younger sister, let alone Dingguo who was the son-in-law How could the public be so determined to go his own way.
Huo Weilou continued to whisper in her ear: "My mother was furious because of this, and had a big quarrel with my father. At that time, my younger sister was not yet one year old. Because of their quarreling, the servants did not do enough to take care of them, so my younger sister fell ill. and died young."
Bo Ruoyou's eyes trembled, and she couldn't help hugging him, Huo Weilou continued: "My mother was distraught because of this, and executed my father's concubine, imprisoned my father, and threatened the whole Huo family's future, She wanted to make her father admit his mistakes and write a letter of guilt, but his father refused to admit it, and half a year later... he hanged himself."
Bo Ruoyou never expected his father to die in such a way, and thinking of what Huo Weilou said before, she felt even more trembling in her heart. Huo Weilou said that he wanted an unshakable friendship more than she did. It sounded like Huo Weilou wanted to reassure her, but he never thought that maybe he really thought this way from the bottom of his heart.
"After my father died, my mother collapsed completely, and soon fell into madness. I was ten years old at that time, and I was by her side every day. Her condition was good and bad. When she was twelve years old, she got better. , At that time, the Princess's Mansion had no power and power, and only relied on His Majesty's sympathy for her mother to maintain her dignity. Duke Huo's Mansion knew the inside story of the year, and it was like walking on eggshells. At that time, I decided to go to the battlefield."
"Later, I came back once every six months. It was fine to come back before, but since I came back on the New Year's Day when I was fifteen, my mother never wanted to see me again..."
Bo Ruoyou asked tremblingly, "Why?"
Huo Weilou backed away from her neck, his phoenix eyes were dark and hard to see the light, but when he spoke, his tone was still calm and unwavering, "Because I was already somewhat young at that time, they all said that I was born the same as my father. But my mother would get sick whenever she saw me. She hated my father so much that she couldn't stand me who was somewhat similar to my father. After she got sick, she looked for my father hysterically. In the novel, the father is a coward, he ran away after killing his sister, and for a moment he completely forgot about the past, but he will continue to hurt himself."
Bo Ruoyou's heart twitched fiercely, "The eldest princess is always sick..."
Huo Weilou nodded, "Actually, it's a madness, it's just that she's getting older these years, and she also has other symptoms."
Bo Ruoyou couldn't help hugging Huo Weilou tightly, she recalled in a trance, when Huo Weilou was hit by the lady of the Hou family for the first time in Qingzhou, everyone thought he would be angry, but he looked at the crazy lady , unexpectedly restrained his temper.
She couldn't help but said: "Then the Marquis said earlier that he would take me to the eldest princess's mansion..."
Huo Weilou responded, "I just want you to know that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, who was rumored to be high and mighty, is now just an ordinary woman with unconsciousness. I want you to know what my mother looks like, and I don't want you to be afraid of those things. false name."
Bo Ruoyou didn't know this at that time, when she said that she wanted to see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, she felt that Huo Weilou was too impatient, and the eldest princess is a dragon and phoenix among people, golden and precious, no matter whether it makes her difficult or likes her, she finds it difficult to resist , how dare obey him
And at that time Huo Weilou did say that he just wanted to take her to see what his mother looked like.
Bo Ruoyou tightened her arms, she didn't know that Huo Weilou was so difficult, behind the seemingly proud son of heaven, there was such a broken home, she was a little sorry, "If Lord Hou takes me again, I will definitely Follow the Marquis."
Huo Weilou couldn't help looking at her seriously, "Really?"
It is very meaningful to go to see his mother, Bo Ruoyou was a little hesitant when asked by him, but his hesitation with hope made her hesitation gradually disappear, she was sure, nodded, "Really. "
Huo Weilou pulled her into his arms, he seemed a little emotional, Bo Ruoyou also blushed, if she said that she had never thought of becoming his wife before, then she would let go of her mouth from now on when she nodded .
Now she really felt some secret shame about giving and receiving privately, but now she is more devoted to him, and these thoughts born of taboos on etiquette are not so scary. She suddenly understood that the stories in the book were all It's true, it's not that those gifted scholars and beauties don't understand etiquette, it's that the friendship has reached this point and it's simply beyond self-control.
She caressed his back with her hand, and she felt a different kind of peace of mind. Even though she was so intimate, she didn't feel ashamed as before. She even wanted to comfort him more, so that he would no longer be as sad as he was a moment ago. .
"As long as you want, I will take you there today."
Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but laugh, she still remembered why she came here, and seeing that he was in a much better mood, she backed away a little, "Don't worry, Lord Hou, I actually came here today because of the poison of the prince, I'm here The method adopted by Yifu now can alleviate the pain of poisoning. Although it will not detoxify, it may relieve one or two and make people last longer. I want to see if Mr. Ming has other methods. If not, he can let him The adoptive father came to see him."
Huo Weilou frowned, "Is it really useful?"
Bo Ruoyou nodded, "The person that foster father is treating now has improved. He can take medicine and food normally, but it's just that people are different. What's going on with the son, we need foster father to come and see."
Huo Weilou's phoenix eyes lit up immediately, as if he didn't remember those slanderous words at all, Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but thought, with such a brother, why should Huo Qinghong say such words.
"It's so natural and wonderful!" Huo Weilou immediately said, "Is it convenient to go and pick up your adoptive father?"
Bo Ruoyou thought for a while, "I'm afraid that foster father is treating the young master of the Huang family right now, so he might have to wait for a while when he goes."
"It's not a problem." He frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "You heard it too, he is not feeling well now, your adoptive father is here, maybe it can relieve him a little or two."
Bo Ruoyou's heart softened when he heard this, and he said sincerely: "Master Hou is really a good brother."
Huo Weilou's eyes darkened for a moment, "I've never heard his words before, and I don't know that my second uncle has explained to him like that. It might seem a bit too worrying to use the words at the time, but now it seems that they are right. Now that I have this position in the court, His Majesty will not allow my cousin to hold important power again. The reason His Majesty has assured me these years is because my father has passed away, and my second uncle doesn't care about world affairs. He is also a rich man with nothing to do. Idlers, anyone in the Huo family who is greedy for power will attract suspicion."
Thinking of these things, Bo Ruoyou's expression became serious, and she comforted him, "Master Hou, don't think about these things right now, the most important thing is to detoxify the son first, and when he gets better later, there is still time for the son to do whatever he wants."
Huo Weilou nodded, turned around and went out to order his attendants to pick up Cheng Yunzhi to pass through the house. Bo Ruoyou saw that she was still sitting on the table, her face flushed, and she quickly jumped off the ground.
As soon as Huo Weilou in the outside room finished ordering his attendants, he saw Mr. Fu rushing over in a hurry. Seeing Huo Weilou, he said: "Master, the son is ill and confused, you must not take what he said to heart."
Huo Weilou nodded calmly, "I know, Youyou said that her adoptive father already has a cure for the poison, and I have ordered someone to pick it up."
Eunuch Fu responded first, and then carefully looked at his expression. Seeing his expressionless face, he sighed with pity, "Master Hou never shows these grievances on his face, but this old slave loves Master Hou very much. .”
Huo Weilou held his lips, "I know, go and watch him, and I will go there when Youyou's adoptive father comes later."
Eunuch Fu responded, looked at him carefully for a moment, and then took a look into the study. After trying to understand something, his expression was slightly relaxed, and then he turned and left. Seeing Eunuch Fu's back disappear, Huo Weilou stood outside the door before turning around go in.
When she entered the door, she saw that Bo Ruoyou was already standing in front of the desk. She was leaning over to look at the Langhao pen hanging on the corner of the desk. Her slender knuckles brushed against a row of pens, causing the nibs to shake. Huo Weilou suddenly quickened her pace. , before Bo Ruoyou heard the footsteps and hadn't reacted, she hugged her again.
Bo Ruoyou still turned his back to him, unable to laugh or cry for a while, but at this moment Huo Weilou lowered his head, "I must have been a monk in my previous life."
Bo Ruoyou was dumbfounded, "Huh?"
"In my previous life, I must have practiced Buddhism and chanted scriptures every day, saved all sentient beings, and accumulated great merit. That's why God sent you to me in this life."
Bo Ruoyou was stunned, her teeth were still a little sore, but she exposed him mercilessly, "But I remember, Lord Hou said that he came from the mountain of corpses and blood, and never read Buddhist scriptures, nor did he believe in Buddhism."
"I didn't believe it in the past, but I believe it from now on."
The more he talked, the closer he got, and he almost wanted to rub her ears. Bo Ruoyou felt that this situation was beyond her expectation, so she couldn't help but took his hands off his waist, and turned around and said, "Master Hou is in a good mood?"
Even if Huo Weilou felt chilled, it was only for a few moments, and he knew Huo Qinghong's nature best. These words did bring back some old things, but he would not complain about it, if it wasn't for Bao Ruoyou's gentleness Treating each other, he is afraid that he will not allow himself to be sad for so long, let alone show the slightest bit, and at this moment, naturally he will not still indulge in it.
The young man went to the battlefield, and then he was in power for many years. He has already tempered a steely heart. The person he trusts the most may draw a bloody gash on him, but he has already cultivated a set of self-healing methods, which is meaningless. To him, being wronged and hurt is a cowardly act, but if he can get Bo Ruoyou to be closer to him again, he is willing to show her a little bit, he wants her intimacy and tenderness.
He looked at Bo Ruoyou, frowning his sword eyebrows, his expression matched with his tall and handsome stature, inexplicably aggrieved, "It's not good either."
Bo Ruoyou looked at him carefully, and quickly said, "Master Hou, don't try to lie to me—"
Seeing that Huo Weilou hadn't coaxed her, he couldn't help but stepped forward, leaving her between himself and the desk, he folded his arms, and wrapped her in his arms, Bao Ruoyou pushed him, Huo Weilou Fan was very polite, he only said in a deep voice: "Just hold you for a while, you don't know that I think about it day and night, so I hold you in my arms."
Bo Ruoyou lost strength in her hands, and said helplessly, "Is this what Lord Hou thinks is out of date?"
Huo Weilou couldn't help laughing, "This is also one thing, if you want to know other things, then I..."
Bo Ruoyou hurriedly said, "No, no, I don't want to know."
…
When Cheng Yunzhi arrived at the gate of the Hou's Mansion, he saw Huo Weilou and Bo Ruoyou greeted him at the door together. Cheng Yunzhi snorted inwardly. When Bo Ruoyou was injured, he was a little wary of Huo Weilou. Now it seems that the vigilance at the beginning was indeed true. That's right.
Cheng Yun got off the carriage and was about to salute Huo Weilou, Huo Weilou immediately stepped forward to support him, "Sir, you don't need to be too polite, this time I have to ask you to save someone—"
Cheng Yunzhi saw that he was very knowledgeable, and couldn't help being satisfied. When he talked about seeing a doctor, he was quite solemn, and bluntly said that his solution was temporarily treating the symptoms, not the root cause. Huo Weilou also told Cheng Yunzhi about Huo Qinghong's situation. Cheng Yun only felt that it was a temporary solution. Fazi can be called life-saving for Huo Qinghong right now.
A group of people quickly entered the guest house.
Hearing the sound, Eunuch Fu greeted Cheng Yunzhi immediately, and he naturally complimented Cheng Yunzhi. He has served the royal family for many years, and a few jokes can make Cheng Yunzhi feel comfortable physically and mentally. At the hall door, he also made up his mind that it would take twelve minutes of effort to see a doctor for Huo Qinghong.
Ming Guilan came to say hello in a wheelchair, Cheng Yunzhi nodded, looked on the couch, and heard Huo Qinghong chanting something weakly, Eunuch Fu hurriedly said: "My son has suffered from poisoning for several days, Lord Hou For his own good, without giving gold ointment, the son has completely lost his mind and is quite dissatisfied with Lord Hou."
Huo Qinghong couldn't speak consecutive sentences long ago, and in just a few days, he was already thin and skinny, with disheveled temple hair, black eyes, and gray face. He was lying there trembling and twitching all the time, but he was powerless to do more. Struggling a lot, the corners of my eyes kept tearing, and I don't know if I can't help it or really want to cry.
Cheng Yunzhi glanced at it, "It's normal. I heard that some poisons are spreading in the market, and then they force their parents to buy gold ointment. If they don't go, they will use knives to hurt people. Uncontrollable."
Eunuch Fu was in a hurry, so he went to look at Huo Weilou standing at the back. Huo Weilou was standing at the door, his face was hidden in the dim light and he couldn't see clearly, he still felt very distressed.
Cheng Yunzhi had already walked to the side of the couch. Seeing that Huo Qinghong's hands and feet were tied, and a large bruise was stretched out, he couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed. When they returned to Beijing on the same boat for half a month, although Huo Qinghong's words and deeds were a bit arrogant, he was still a fresh man. The young boy who is furious in clothes, but now, he has really turned into a man who is neither human nor ghost.
Cheng Yunzhi first asked about the pulse, then asked about the usual medicines, and then said that he could use his own method, "The fragrant medicine pills I brought today are prepared. After I go back, I will prepare some other medicines for the son. I will write a prescription." , according to my use for the time being."
Ming Guilan didn't know Cheng Yun's identity, so Huo Weilou might have specially invited him here, so he shouldn't be underestimated. He silently looked at Cheng Yunzhi from the sidelines, thinking of the details of returning to Beijing together, he couldn't help but realize that Cheng Yunzhi was a little extraordinary.
When Cheng Yunzhi asked for pulse, because he was close, he could hear Huo Qinghong's whispers clearly, and occasionally a few words fell into his ears, and even he heard a slight change of expression. He didn't show his face, and quickly ignited the incense pill .
The faint aroma of herbs mixed with the scent of sandalwood pervaded the air. Huo Qinghong was limp like a fish out of water, but when he smelled this smell, he seemed to suddenly gain a bit of vitality, and opened his tearful eyes again. Searching for the fragrance in a trance, Cheng Yunzhi brought the incense burner closer, Huo Qinghong seemed to have tasted the faint golden ointment in it, and immediately moved towards the side of the couch.
He was inhaling smoke like Huang Lin madly. After inhaling for a long time, his body slowly became limp, but he was stretched out. He was not trembling and curled up in one place like before. Seeing this, Eunuch Fu exhaled, "This thing May last a long time”
Cheng Yunzhi shook his head, "Of course it can't be used as a gold ointment. His body is too weak right now. In two days, I can give him acupuncture. Needle injection and medicine are used to recuperate his body first, and then use it when the poison occurs." Fragrant pills replace the gold ointment, and I will gradually reduce the dose of the gold ointment in it until the patient can survive with willpower. Over time, I hope to achieve the effect of getting rid of drug addiction—"
Ming Guilan heard it thoughtfully, but Cheng Yunzhi obviously didn't intend to keep it private, and he said it so unreservedly. Eunuch Fu was relieved, and went to see Huo Qinghong again, and he saw that he was much calmer. , his consciousness was coming back little by little, and he was also conscious, but the whole person was a little out of touch, and he opened his eyes to see Cheng Yunzhi motionless.
"My son? This is Mr. Cheng, do you still recognize him? Mr. Cheng came to treat you, do you feel better?" Duke Fu asked him warmly, but Huo Qinghong didn't respond.
Cheng Yunzhi said: "Let the son take it easy, let him eat some food later, and then drink some soup and medicine, as much as he can drink, if he really can't drink it, don't force it, according to the time you said the poison will occur, I'm afraid it will happen tomorrow." The poisoning also occurred around noon, I will come over early tomorrow to see how the son's pulse was when the poisoning occurred."
Mr. Fu thanked him, and Huo Weilou sent Cheng Yunzhi to leave. Huo Qinghong's eyes moved when he heard his voice, but his body was still paralyzed on the couch, unable to move.
After leaving the door, Cheng Yunzhi asked some more about Huo Qinghong's daily and eating habits, and then he wanted to leave, Bo Ruoyou naturally left together, Huo Weilou looked at the sky and disapproved from the bottom of his heart, but Ning Xiao and Lu Ke arrived. With a business trip, he didn't leave Bo Ruoyou alone, and personally sent the two to the carriage to watch them leave.
In the carriage, Cheng Yunzhi frowned and said: "The Huo family's son just muttered a lot."
Bo Ruoyou's heart moved slightly, "Are you talking about Lord Hou's family affairs?"
Cheng Yunzhi nodded, "It's a bit embarrassing..."
"When I came here just now, I also heard a few words." Bo Ruoyou didn't tell Cheng Yunzhi what Huo Weilou said, but just asked, "Does foster father understand what happened back then?"
When the incident happened that year, the Cheng family was still in full swing in the imperial hospital. Cheng Yunzhi sighed and said, "Of course I know a little bit, and it was also a very grand event in the capital when the eldest princess came down from the family to give the Duke. I also went to congratulate him. Later, there was a lot of unhappiness at the eldest princess's mansion. There were many rumors in the market. Then Ding Guogong died of illness, and the eldest princess also fell ill. The mansion is always full of people, but after that, the eldest princess' mansion has been closed, and even now it seems to be closed to thank guests."
Bo Ruoyou felt a little worried again, "Is the father-in-law sure about the son's poison?"
Cheng Yunzhi sighed, "It's hard, his poisoning is deeper than Lin'er's. You can tell from the pulse, I'm afraid it will take some effort."
Cheng Yunzhi returned home in a hurry, and also wanted to make new medicines according to Huo Qinghong's symptoms. After returning home, he went into the study immediately, drew up several prescriptions for comparison, and took a break from sunset to night. Has been giving Huo Qinghong pills.
Early the next morning, Cheng Yunzhi went to Huang's house early for consultation, and then took Bo Ruoyou to the Hou's Mansion. Huo Weilou had been busy the day before, and he thought that Cheng Yunzhi and Bo Ruoyou would come at noon, so he returned home and waited for the first time .
When the father and daughter arrived at the Hou's Mansion, Huo Weilou came to greet them personally, with a friendly and thoughtful attitude, which was quite different from before. Cheng Yunzhi saw it clearly, and Huo Weilou was only in his twenties after all, and he had never been in a romantic relationship, no matter how prudent he was However, his thoughts towards Bo Ruoyou were still somewhat exposed, especially for Cheng Yunzhi, who had been there before, he could see it even more clearly. He was a little critical of Huo Weilou in his heart, but at the same time he could see that Huo Weilou cherished Bo Ruoyou a little bit. , It can be described as mixed flavors.
When they arrived at the guest house, they saw that Huo Qinghong didn't have poisonous hair, but he was lying on the couch like a puppet doll. Although he no longer spoke any foolish words or deeds, he just remained silent, as if he had lost his voice.
Cheng Yunzhi just sat down for less than a cup of tea, Huo Qinghong's whole body was wrong, Cheng Yunzhi and Fu Gonggong both became a little nervous, they all went to Nuan Pavilion to ask for pulse, and tied hands and feet, but Huo Qinghong today Stop shouting, no matter how difficult it was, he just gritted his teeth and shed tears silently. After Cheng Yunzhi lit the fragrant pill, he just grabbed hold of a straw to recover.
This process is very long, and it is not easy for Huo Qinghong to endure it when he is conscious. The golden ointment in the fragrant pill is only a little bit, it seems like a scratch on his boots, it will not make Huo Qinghong to the point of defeat and madness, but it can't alleviate it. How much pain, Fu Gonggong looked jealous, Huo Weilou and Bo Ruoyou stood outside under the veranda.
The silence made people even more anxious. Huo Weilou talked about the case of the gold ointment: "Wei Yan has found it, and he really used the gold ointment."
Bo Ruoyou frowned, "Could it be that the gold ointment placed by Feng Ye came from him?"
"A part, Wei Yan gave a part, and he also bought it from Changning Marquis. When I asked that day, he intentionally hid Wei Yan from him. Now Wei Yan is also addicted to drugs, and he was hidden in the city by Wei Shu. Wei Shu never imagined that he wanted to seek medical treatment outside, but in the end he harmed his own son."
Huo Weilou said in a deep voice: "Li Yuan and Wei Quan have both been recruited. The gold ointment has sprung up in the southwestern area. The Shen family has made a lot of profit from it. Later, they wanted to flow the gold ointment into the capital, so they found Li Yuan as an introduction. The family is very smart, they don't do business at the feet of the emperor, on the contrary, the entire southwest is almost controlled by the Shen family, and Li Yuan is someone they can trust in Beijing."
"If we want to do such a business, the court will naturally have to take care of it, but he didn't expect that Wei Shu had known the voice of the gold ointment for a long time. Wei Shu ordered Wei Quan to come forward to cooperate with Li Yuan, and wanted to sell the gold in the capital and even the entire north." For this purpose, Wei Shu invested more than half of the money he had obtained from Weicang in Qinshui County. They have already sent people to the southwest cottage to recruit workers and buy the fruit seeds of Beauty's Smile. Among them, Song As Wei Shu's proud subordinate, Yu also participated in it. When he went to the tea shop that day, Song Yu went to see the latest fruit and seeds of Beauty's Smile—"
Bo Ruoyou was startled when he heard that, "So Wei Shangshu is the main culprit for corruption in the household department?"
Huo Weilou's voice became colder, "This household department is dirty from top to bottom, especially in the matter of Wei Cang, Wei Shu took the lead. He was already in prison yesterday, but he has not confessed yet."
After a pause, Huo Weilou said again: "Song Yu handled a lot of documents and accounts, and he helped Wei Shu cover it up. It is not known whether he was voluntary or coerced, but after the Weicang incident in Qinshui County, Wei Shu came from Song Yu Yu Chu took away a lot of account books, and these were the things Zhi Shi had been looking for before. Before Song Yu died, his study seemed to have been robbed, and it was also a reminder to Zhi Shi that there was someone behind the scenes. The things have been taken away. Some of those account books were found in the Wei Mansion last night, and the rest were destroyed by Wei Shu. If Song Yu is not dead, he will either make Song Yu stop the crime, or make Song Yu shut up forever. Song Yu Yu probably guessed his ending."
Bo Ruoyou sighed and said: "Wei Shangshu is an official of the second rank, but he still wants to put himself in danger..."
Huo Weilou's lips curled into a cold arc, "It's too greedy. When you have power, you will be greedy for wealth. If you have small wealth, you will be greedy for great wealth. Moreover, he intends to support the eldest prince. However, the Xu family is weak. Whether it is Whether it is to win over contacts, or to secretly engage in evil schemes, money is an extremely important part, even gold and silver are not enough for him."
Huo Weilou's few words seemed to make Bo Ruoyou witness the royal court's open and secret struggles with her own eyes, and she was a little startled, "But Marquis Changning is the uncle of the Second Highness—"
"This is Wei Shu's brilliance. If this thing hadn't been so harmful and hadn't caused such a murder case, then the marquis of Changning did this business together without anyone noticing it. After investigation, the Second Highness's lineage is also inseparable." Seeing her frowning and thinking hard, Huo Weilou raised his hand to caress her eyebrows, "The schemes in the court are much more complicated and sinister than the murder case, let me tell you You listen, you just know it, don’t have to think about it.”
If it is a murder case, she can do an autopsy and search for evidence. She can see the wounds on the corpse clearly, and there are clues at the scene of the crime to follow. Bo Ruoyou sighed, really no longer embarrassing herself.
"Then this time there is a lot of involvement, isn't Hou Ye busy?"
Huo Weilou nodded, "The next two months will probably be the busiest time of the year."
Bo Ruoyou's eyes overflowed with distress, Huo Weilou looked at her with such an expression and felt a little moved. He glanced in the direction of the main hall, and couldn't help but want to shake her hand. Bo Ruoyou still wanted to hide, but he was gone. Be held by him.
He took her by the hand, turned around and walked away, actually went along the corridor to the corner, turned the corner, avoided the gaze of the attendants in the courtyard, and moved further away from the hall, Huo Weilou surrounded her in the narrow corridor Among them, he took her into his arms.
"Lord Hou—"
Bo Ruoyou's heartbeat was about to jump out of her throat, there were quite a lot of attendants in the courtyard, and they went to the room after the corridor, Cheng Yunzhi and the others were still treating Huo Qinghong with acupuncture, but he...
"You must bid farewell with your adoptive father later. I can't keep you. I probably won't return home tomorrow, and I won't be able to see you again until the day after tomorrow." He was even more petite in his arms, and he couldn't resist.
Bo Ruoyou's face was slightly hot, and he finally raised his hand to wrap around his waist, but Huo Weilou seemed to want more, he leaned slightly and rubbed the tip of his nose against the side of her face, just as he was about to touch her, Bo Ruoyou felt heavy Pinch him around the waist.
"hiss-"
…
After the acupuncture was finished, it was already dusk. Huo Qinghong endured it all day, drank the decoction and fell asleep, Cheng Yunzhi came out and said to Huo Weilou: "It doesn't work once, you have to continue acupuncture for three to five days to see it." It works."
Huo Weilou quickly said: "Then I have to bother you for the next few days."
Cheng Yunzhi readily agreed, and told him how to use the medicine on weekdays, and then he left the house. Huo Weilou took Eunuch Fu to see him off in person, and watched the father and daughter leave in a carriage. Eunuch Fu looked at Huo Weilou suspiciously, "Hou Weilou Master is quite polite to Mr. Cheng now..."
Huo Weilou didn't even look at him and said, "Mr. Cheng is an elder after all, and he should be. Besides, don't I always respect the old and love the young?"
Huo Weilou was in a good mood, he turned around and left after speaking, Eunuch Fu rolled his eyes.
On the way back to the main courtyard, Huo Weilou asked, "How is the princess mansion these days?"
"She said that Her Royal Highness is better, and asked about Lord Hou."
Huo Weilou frowned, and said after a while: "After the busy days are over, I want to take Youyou across the house."
Eunuch Fu's eyes lit up slightly, and he understood why Huo Weilou was so attentive to Cheng Yunzhi for a moment, and hurriedly said: "These days, this old servant will ask more questions over there, if Her Royal Highness the Princess is in good health, Lord Hou can take Youyou to have a look. Her Royal Highness does not always get sick."
Huo Weilou said normally: "The attack is nothing, I have already told her."
Eunuch Fu was startled, and couldn't help but feel a little bitter. He was quite relieved to think that Bo Ruoyou was willing to go after knowing about this matter, "Then...that's fine, just wait until Lord Hou finishes the case of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Huo Weilou responded and quickly walked into the study.
On the second day, when Bo Ruoyou accompanied Cheng Yunzhi to re-enter the Marquis' Mansion, Huo Weilou was nowhere to be seen. This day Huo Qinghong was still as weak as the day before, and he looked even more pitiful when he was poisoned. , it seems that even the interest in living has lost a bit, Ming Guilan is not here now to treat the disease, but to accompany him.
After the acupuncture was finished, Ming Guilan came forward, "Senior Cheng, may I ask if you recognize my father?"
Since Cheng Yunzhi chose to come to the Hou's mansion for treatment, he had already expected to meet an old friend from the past. He hesitated for a moment and did not hide it, "I recognized him more than ten years ago."
I recognized him more than ten years ago, but now it's hard to say whether I recognize him or not. Ming Guilan's face changed a little, as if he knew his identity, he couldn't help but said: "When I had an accident, I vaguely remembered that two doctors named Cheng entered the mansion. , but with you?"
Cheng Yunzhi glanced at Ming Guilan's legs, with a sigh in his eyes, "It's me and my father."
He didn't seem to want to talk about the past, so he took his needle away and left. Bo Ruoyou naturally left together. Eunuch Fu sent the two of them away. When he came back, Ming Guilan was stunned at the door. Eunuch Fu knew about Cheng Yun Identity, stepped forward and said: "Young master guessed it."
Ming Guilan shook his head, "When I came home last night, I asked my father if there was a powerful doctor surnamed Cheng in the world. It was my father who mentioned it to me. Qing, otherwise, maybe I will recognize the senior. If you say this, Senior Cheng and my father still have some old quarrels... "
Eunuch Fu shook his head, "It's all old stuff, you don't have to take it to heart." He paused slightly, "Maybe I will go to the Princess's Mansion in these two days? Lord Hou hasn't been to the Princess's Mansion for many days. Go and visit, the young master is going to check the pulse of Her Highness the Princess."
Ming Guilan naturally responded.
When Bo Ruoyou's father and daughter arrived at the Hou Mansion again, Ming Guilan was not by Huo Qinghong's side, Cheng Yunzhi treated Huo Qinghong's illness, and Huo Weilou brought Bo Ruoyou into the study, and gave an official document to Huo Qinghong. She saw that Wei Shu's testimony was written on the official document, how he conspired with Wei Quan's business in Luozhou to replace the grain and rice in Wei Cang, and how the money obtained was transferred to Wei's bank without anyone noticing. Among them, he has obtained a lot of money over the years, and how he will write letters with the Shen family and conspire with Li Yuan will be recruited together.
Huo Weilou omitted the list of official corruption and did not show it to her, but just by looking at Wei Shu's testimony, she also understood how much shock this would cause in the court. Wei Shu even explained that he had issued a death order to Song Yu, He wanted Song Yu to protect him from the crime, and Song Yu was his protégé, and wanted to submit, but although he was involved in corruption, he did not approve of Wei Shu's flow of gold ointment into the capital, and the two had differences because of this. Ling Song Yu came up with the worst strategy of using his own life to pretend to be murder.
The testimony written in the official document was abbreviated, and it looked like the abbreviated version sent to him right after the confession. Although the words looked ordinary, I don’t know how many people were involved in it, and how many people broke the law because of it. life.
Huo Weilou said: "I won't be able to go back to the mansion in the next few days, you will have to suffer a lot to accompany your adoptive father back and forth."
Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "Your Majesty, you just need to feel at ease. Although my son hasn't improved significantly in the past two days, his energy is much better than before, and he can sleep peacefully for a while at night, especially because the poisonous hair is later than before. Some, if the time interval between poisoning is getting longer and longer, it will be effective."
Huo Weilou's eyes showed joy, "If this method is really useful, it can be implemented in the whole city and even in the southwest. When the time comes, I will ask His Majesty for your foster father's credit."
Bo Ruoyou hesitated a little, "Father, he doesn't want to bring up the past, I'm afraid he doesn't want to be bound by a false name."
Huo Weilou's eyes were serious, "I know what happened in your adoptive father's family. What happened back then can't be blamed on the old man. Your adoptive father saw the Cheng family ruined and the reputation of the Cheng family's medical family ruined. There is a lot of depression and unwillingness, but has he ever thought that there may be a way to restore the Cheng family's reputation?"
Bo Ruoyou's eyes lighted up slightly, and Huo Weilou said again: "The Cheng family has a reputation in the capital city of hanging pots to help the world, and in the case of Concubine Hui, I have sent people to the palace to transfer the file, and the records on the file are vague and even worse. I didn't mention the old man's fault. If your adoptive father has made great contributions this time, it will not be difficult to restore the reputation and status of the Cheng family. Besides, your adoptive father is highly skilled in medicine and has inherited the Cheng family's education. I don't think it should be wasted. He saved the neighbor's child, which is also the compassion of the doctor."
Huo Weilou's last two words coincided with hers, and Bo Ruoyou thought about the injustice suffered by the Cheng family back then, which caused the entire Cheng family to disappear in the capital, and Cheng Yun was quite unfair, "Then let's look at the words of the adoptive father first." Will the method work, when did Hou Ye go to investigate the matter of the adoptive father?"
Huo Weilou raised the corners of his lips, "At the beginning your adoptive father took you to the Lin family, and after I came back, I checked it out, and after that I went to see what happened to Concubine Hui's case, so I know what's going on in my heart." With a soft voice, "I know that your adoptive father is just like your biological father, and will naturally consider him. Of course, if he doesn't want to, you don't have to mention this to him."
Bo Ruoyou only felt a trickle of warmth gushing from the bottom of her heart. She didn't know that Huo Weilou had done these things before. If it was just to investigate Cheng Yunzhi's life experience, it would be quite normal. Qingyu, it was because he put his heart into it.
"Thank you, Lord Hou..."
Huo Weilou smiled, and moved closer to her. Before she could react, Huo Weilou had already embraced her in his arms. He picked her up and put her on the desk, "Thank you ?”
Bo Ruoyou only felt that since she hugged him, this person couldn't help but get closer to her every time. She glanced at the door of the study with some guilt, and said softly: "Master Hou... Master Hou is not that Shi A person who repays kindness."
Huo Weilou snorted softly when he heard that, and stared at her with scorching eyes, which made her heart tremble. After a few seconds, he suddenly sighed and pulled her into his arms, then gritted his teeth and said, "I'll bear it today, and I'll take care of it tomorrow." You can get it back several times over."
