The Concubine in the Palace_The Feast of Masks【Complete】(198)

Sun Mang didn't know what the emperor was thinking, but he didn't forget his mission. He couldn't let the disaster victims rush to the capital.

Fortunately, the disaster relief decree came down quickly. The people had food to eat and warm clothes to wear, and they no longer insisted on going to the capital. The disaster relief work was carried out in an orderly manner, and Sun Mang could finally take a break.

But the people of King Jin came to him.

Sun Mang knew what happened in the capital recently. Several princes were vying for disaster relief, otherwise the decree in the capital would not have been delayed for so many days. If there was only one who didn't move, it was probably King Jin.

The King Jin's family was unusually quiet, as if the man who had made great military achievements at the border and made the Tatars shrink in their nests and dare not come out had lost his spirit and planned to stay in the Ministry of Works, taking people to demolish houses today and building houses tomorrow.

The King of Jin actually walked to the Ministry Hall every day to take up his duties. Whenever Sun Mang thought of the deeds of the King of Jin that were circulated outside, he had the urge to laugh.

But he couldn't laugh, because he felt that such a person shouldn't be like this.

But what exactly was it, Sun Mang couldn't say for a while.

Later, when he occasionally thought of it in his spare time, he could understand the King of Jin's approach. People who lost their military power were like wild beasts without claws and teeth. Your Majesty wanted to suppress these sons, and the smart ones should be more honest.

Everyone knows these principles, but how many can really do it?

Because you can never predict what others are thinking. You can stay still, but you don't know if others will move, whether others will surpass you, and whether you will lose the initiative unconsciously? If you miss a step, it is likely to be a world of difference.

So after the initial silence, everyone was moving, and maybe the King of Jin was also moving, but he didn't know.

Thinking of this, Sun Mang naturally couldn't laugh.

But the King of Jin dared to send someone to find him?

Don't you know that Tongzhou is now under the public eye? Don't you know that the smart ones shouldn't come into contact with him to avoid suspicion?

Sun Mang didn't intend to meet the people of King Jin, but he wanted to know what he was planning and what he wanted to do.

He met the people sent by King Jin and then knew what happened.

Sun Mang only had time to communicate with his men and rushed to the capital alone. It took about half a day to get from Tongzhou to the capital, and he ran there in more than an hour.

He was stopped by someone when he was about to reach the city gate, and it was King Jin's people who stopped him.

Sun Mang was very unhappy with this behavior, even though the news was originally sent to him by King Jin, but after seeing Liu Liangyi, he suddenly lost his temper.

Seriously speaking, Liu Liangyi was a great benefactor of the Zhenguogong Mansion. When the Zhenguogong was on the verge of death, it was Liu Liangyi who saved him.

Liu Liangyi conveyed the words of King Jin and said that he would definitely use Liu Liangyi.

Thinking about the news from King Jin, Sun Mang was very uneasy. He naturally knew the role of Liu Liangyi if there was anything wrong.

Sun Mang went to Lanruo Pavilion without listening to anyone's obstruction. Before he entered the door, he heard what Qiao Xiuli and Qiao said, and naturally heard what Qiao said later.

His eyes were red with anger. Although Qiao was weak, she was strong in her softness. What made her so discouraged that she lost hope of survival?

How could she bear it? Could she bear to give him up!

Sun Mang did not deny that he wanted to marry Qiao because he was fascinated by her beauty. From the moment he saw her, his heart told himself that she was the woman he wanted. So he married her back regardless of her identity as a merchant girl.

She was narrow-minded, so he let her go. She was delicate, so he spoiled her. Letting her go and spoiling her became a habit. He thought it was good. He was not a person who valued beauty. She was the only one.

Sun Mang didn't really understand what love was, but he knew that he liked Qiao.

Even if she really had that disease, it didn't matter. There were people who had it, and they could live a few more years with care. Besides, it was still unknown whether it was true or not.

On the couch, Qiao cried and said incoherently, "I'm not well, get out quickly, I can't give it to you."

Sun Mang took a few big steps forward. Qiao Xiuli was still standing in front of the bed, but he almost knocked her off her feet. Qiao Xiuli just stood firm when Sun Mang walked to the bed, grabbed Qiao, and kissed her twice.

"If it could really be infected to me, it would have been infected now."

Sun Mang stood up and stopped looking at Qiao, "Doctor Liu, thank you for your help."

Doctor Liu didn't expect that the boy from the Sun family, who had been a dull boy since childhood, could act like this. I don't know why I thought of the master in the mansion. Didn't the King of Jin also care about his children's upbringing? He was poisoned and his life was at stake, but he was kind to her and would rather lose his mind and his life.

They are all idiots!

Doctor Liu Liang sighed in his heart and came to the bed. Ruhua moved a stool over, and he sat down to take Qiao's pulse.

The room fell into silence, and everyone's heart couldn't help but rise in their throats.

Qiao Xiuli, who was standing aside, twitched nervously in the corners of her eyes again and again. She knew clearly in her heart that even if the best doctor in the world came, Qiao would be helpless. But she was inexplicably afraid, and always felt that the development of this matter was somewhat unexpected to her.

She originally didn't want Mrs. Qiao to die so early, but Sun Meng's sudden departure from Beijing gave her an opportunity. Originally, she was still thinking about how to avoid the prince, but now she no longer has such worries.

Things went exactly as she thought. The old lady's reaction and the reactions of other people in the house were all within her expectation. She only needed to add the rice grains little by little, and there was no need for the King of Hell to hurry her up. Qiao's I can't do it myself.

I never expected that the prince would come back at this time, even if it was a day later, but it happened to be at this time.

Who ruined her business?

It is impossible for the old lady to order someone to deliver a message to the prince, and no one else in the mansion dares to do so. There have been no outsiders in the mansion recently, except for the concubine Su from Prince Jin's mansion. But as far as she knew, Concubine Su had never met Mrs. Qiao.

Dr. Liu Liang put down his hand and looked a little solemn.

He looked back at Sun Mang. Sun Mang's heart couldn't help but sink. He waved his hands behind his back, and everyone who didn't agree got out.

Including Qiao Xiuli.

She didn't want to leave, but unfortunately Sun Meng immediately gave the order, so someone naturally invited her out.

Apart from Sun Meng, Liu Liangyi, and Mrs. Qiao, there were only two girls, Ru Meng Ru Hua, left in the room. The reason why these two girls were not allowed to go out was because they were not only Qiao's confidants, but also the only ones who stayed with Qiao during this time.

Whenever Sun Meng thinks that Mr. Qiao is ill and all the servants in the yard have run away, he feels angry. But now is not the time to deal with this matter. After this matter is over, he will come back to settle the accounts one by one.

Qiao Xiuli's behavior in accompanying Mr. Qiao was also a bit unexpected to Sun Meng. But as soon as he thought of what she had just said to Ms. Qiao, he felt disgusted and subconsciously excluded her from the list of trustworthy people. outside.

"Mr. Liu, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it, but please don't hide it. This is not the time to hide it." Sun Meng said with a bitter smile.

Dr. Liu Liang pondered for a moment and stroked his beard: "If I am not wrong in my diagnosis, your lady is indeed suffering from tuberculosis. Looking at her pulse, it seems that she has been suffering from it not long ago."

There was a sound from the bed, and it was Qiao who accidentally hit the bed pillar.

Sun Meng had a look of sorrow on his face. He helped Mrs. Qiao sit up first, then took a deep breath and said, "Is there a cure for this disease?"

In fact, asking this question is in vain. Tuberculosis is one of the terminal diseases. Once you suffer from it, you can only drag it out day by day. If the family has more money to support them, they can live longer. Those from poor families can only wait to die.

"this……"

The two girls cried so hard that Rumeng fell to the ground and murmured in a daze: "How could it be tuberculosis? My wife was fine at first, but she just started coughing, and it didn't last long. In July, the prince just invited the imperial doctor. I've come to see them and they're all fine. Nothing's wrong. How could it be tuberculosis?"

Hearing this, Dr. Liu Liang's eyes flashed and he asked, "You mean the imperial doctor came to see you in July?"

Dr. Liu Liang looked strange. Rumeng thought there was some improvement, and nodded repeatedly: "Although my wife has the root cause of coughing, it is not serious. She has consulted countless doctors, and they all said that as long as she pays attention to the seasons, Just keep warm when the weather is cold. How could this tuberculosis get to my wife for no reason?"

Sun Meng also nodded and said: "Because Zhuji has this root cause, when the weather was still warm, she once coughed for two days. I simply asked Dr. Hu from the palace to come and see her. First, I wanted to take care of her. , and secondly, I want to see if it can be eradicated.”

Dr. Liu Liang nodded: "I don't know if the pulse record is still there. Can you bring it to me for observation?"

The imperial doctors at the Imperial Hospital diagnose diseases differently than ordinary doctors. When ordinary doctors come to see you, they have seen it. But because Tai Hospital is not an ordinary hospital, and because it is afraid of treating nobles in the palace and getting involved in any illicit affairs, the usual rules are extremely strict.

Not to mention treating the emperor, the rules are extremely complicated. The other masters and nobles in the palace are also extraordinary. The imperial doctors of this imperial hospital not only serve the people in the palace, but also serve the families of some distinguished ministers, royal relatives and relatives, but they must be very dignified to make them attractive.

It just so happens that Sun Meng is one of these decent people.

There is one special thing about imperial doctors when they treat people, that is, every time they diagnose a disease, they need to keep the pulse record prescription for future verification.

Dr. Liu Liang just wanted to see this pulse record, because when he was leaving the palace, the King of Jin specially told him that there might be some clues to Qiao's illness. If it were an ordinary doctor, even an imperial physician, they would not be contaminated if they could avoid such things. They only care about treating patients, not fortune telling, but who asked the King of Jin to pass it on, and Dr. Liu Liang has this kind of connection with the Sun family.
