Chapter 318 Medical Gossip
Out of the Taishou Mansion, Yan Kaizhi suddenly felt a little annoyed that he was not calm. He knew what he looked like. In the past, he walked in Beijing. Although he did not throw fruit in the car, he also experienced the secret sending of Mingtou incense powder. Maybe there is someone in his heart, or maybe there is no intention in his heart. After all, no one can break into his heart except Shaohua. He saw how many women covered their faces and burst into tears in front of him, but today he let Hu Ba Niang say a few words, which made him very angry.
It was not easy to calm down and found that his mind was full of Shaohua's figure, and he subconsciously felt a sense of uneasiness. Looking far away from the capital, he could only see all kinds of men, women and children on Liangcheng Street, but he once hoped to see the reckless and beautiful figure in the crowd.
Yan Kaizhi can't say why he has been thinking about Shaohua all of a sudden. He is a little suspicious whether something has happened to Shaohua. Except for Fulin and Hu Taishou's father and daughter, no one knows his whereabouts for the time being. Hongyi will certainly not send anyone to tell Shaohua. Yan Kaixin thought that perhaps Shaohua thought that he had been assigned to Haiting and became worried, otherwise how could he feel uneasy because Shaohua's figure frequently appeared in his mind? However, he was in Liangcheng, and he didn't even have a messenger. He couldn't convey it back to Beijing at all, and what made him heavier was the whereabouts of Lanzhi.
Yesterday, he heard several merchants talking about coming to see a doctor at the pharmacy in Fulin. He happened to talk about his return to Beijing with his own princess. He couldn't help holding his breath and listening.
In the light of Hu Taishou, Fulin's medical center is also lively, but he is a picky doctor, and he can't treat difficult and miscellaneous diseases. For the sake of his daughter's life in the future, Hu Taishou could only ask two Langzhong to help him go to Fulin's medical center for treatment. The ordinary situation was handed over to Langzhong, and the special patient asked him to inform Fulin. However, the two Langzhong also witnessed Fulin save Hu Ba Niang, so they also admired his medical skills and were willing to come to his hospital for treatment.
The small hospital has a doctor, a pharmacist, a decoction boy, and several spring stools for those waiting in line, which looks very neat. A bearded man has just come from Mingshui. It seems that he can't tell where he is from, but his accent seems to be from the Central Plains. Next to him stood a young man, about fifteen or sixteen years old. His young face showed an old man who was not suitable for his age, but his eyes were exciting.
The man who queued up with him to see a doctor boasted about his business experience in Doro, which attracted many people's attention.
"I have never seen how our princess looks, but I have seen several of Doro's concubines. They are all tall and powerful, but they are good-looking, but their physique is unswell. You, hahaha, I think she can lift you with one hand. The big man laughed, and the whole pharmacy could hear it, which made the drug boy look curiously. He was knocked on the head by the master beside him before he spit out his tongue and continued to learn medicine.
"Then didn't our princess have to be bullied to death in the past?" A middle-aged man said worriedly.
"Even if you are not bullied, it's a pity to take advantage of that bad old man. I really don't know what the long live master thinks." Another person sighed.
As soon as he finished his words, he was stared a few times, and some warned, "Be careful with this. Fortunately, this is Liangcheng. If you are heard elsewhere, you will be caught and beheaded."
The sighing young man raised his eyebrows carelessly and said disdainfully, "How can it be so exaggerated? Besides, you all know that this is Liangcheng. We don't care about these chores. Don't make a big deal. Don't care about it."
The warning person thought for a moment and echoed, "That's true." After saying that, everyone looked at each other knowingly and laughed.
Somewhere came to listen to gossip and protested dissatisfiedly, "Hey, you have run away. Where did the uncle say just now? What's wrong with our princess?
At this time, everyone remembered the topic just now. Many people heard that they were going to marry the flower-like princess, the old King Dora, who was about to die, patted their thighs painfully, as if they were marrying the daughter of the old king next door. Yes, yes, speaking of our princess, I heard that if I die, my stepmother can be a daughter-in-law. Do you think our princess will also become the concubine of the new king? Will she become a queen?
Although it is a pity to marry King Doro, the new king who ascended the throne is the second son of King Doro and is said to be a rare beautiful man. If the princess can be paired with the new king, she will also be a talented girl, at least to comfort the hearts of such idle and boring old and young men.
A person who had just come out of the hospital gave the prescription to the pharmacist and came to talk to him: "I heard that the envoys in Beijing sent envoys to pick up the princess. The princess is not from Doro. How can I die and marry my son? It's ridiculous."
Someone whispered, "What if you come back? Who dares to marry her?" When everyone heard this, they were a little silent and didn't seem to be as enthusiastic as they were just now.
At this time, the teenager standing next to the big man opened his mouth, his eyes were a little lost, and he sighed softly: "She can't go back." After he finished speaking, he immediately caused a small noise. He was also stared at by the big man, curled his lips, turned his head aside, and was ready to go out, but was immediately surrounded by the crowd.
The eventful footman twisted him back and asked curiously, "Ah? What are you talking about? Come here, come here." The teenager was dissatisfied with his behavior and turned his hand away, but found that there was a group of gossip eyes behind him. "What did you just say? Why can't you go back?"
The teenager took a look at the big man and saw that everyone was staring at him with expectation. Then he said slowly, "Didn't you hear that King Doro had already sent someone to send the princess back. On the way, he met Prince Yucang. The whole team was killed, and the princess didn't even see the corpse in the capital."
"What?! Why didn't we hear about it!" Now it's even more explosive. Even the passers-by turn their heads curiously and think what's going on.
The old Xiucai, who had been listening to them quietly, opened his mouth and saw that everyone turned their heads one after another. He proudly brushed his beard. "I heard that because he was on the side of Doro and had not yet entered the north of Sichuan, so the news did not come. I also learned from Chuanbei, but it seems that the princess was rescued by several guards, and I don't know where it is now. Probably the emperor doesn't know either. Doro blocked the news, and few people knew about it.
"How do you know?" Someone asked more questions.
The old scholar stared at him and said vaguely, "That day, a friend of mine happened to pass by. He was in a hurry halfway. It was convenient to hide in the grass, so he saw it."
Some people didn't believe his words and smiled, "Then why hasn't your friend been hacked to death?"
The old scholar immediately became angry, pointed to the other party's nose and scolded, "What do you mean by that! You cursed my friend, didn't you?"
The man whispered, "I'm just curious." Looking up and seeing Lang Zhong coming out, he was dissatisfied with their noise. Some of them stuck out their tongues and left in frustration.
But the old scholar was not willing to give up. He grabbed the man's collar and shouted, "Let me tell you, you'd better explain it clearly to me, or I won't finish it with you."
"The next one." Fortunately, the medicine boy shouted in time, and the old Xiucai had no choice but to let go of his hand and walked to the inner hall angrily. The outside world has returned to calm, and they have started new topics and continued to brag.
Yan Kaizhi sat aside and listened to everything. His heart seemed to be pressed by a boulder. He was a little breathless. He silently waited for the big man and the teenager to leave after grabbing the medicine before he followed him out. Please stay."
When the big man saw Yan Kai practicing his family, he thought he had encountered robbery and cautiously protected the teenager behind him, "What's the matter?"
Yan Kaizhi saluted them and said politely, "I just heard about the disappearance of the princess. Can you tell me?"
"I..." The teenager was about to look at his mouth when he was stared back by the big man. "I'm sorry, the child's mouth is unobstructed. Don't take it seriously when he hears wind and rain." The teenager was a little dissatisfied and protested in a low voice: "It's obviously true."
Yan Kaizhi ignored the big man's supplication and said sincerely, "Can you tell me the specific situation? It's very important to me." After thinking about it, I made up a reason and became more respectful. "The princess has been kind to me. I was very uneasy when I just heard that the princess was in trouble, so please be sure to tell me the situation."
Probably Yan Kaizhi's elegant and polite appearance attracted the attention of the teenager. He subconsciously thought that he was a reliable person, so he came out from behind the big man and said to Yan Kaizhi, "In fact, we also heard that the whole guard was killed anyway, but the princess's body was not found."
After saying that, the teenager was dragged behind him fiercely and said a few words to Yan Kaizhi incomprehensible words, and the teenager pushed back dissatisfiedly.
The big man hummed twice, looked at Yan Kai's eyes, and then said, "This gentleman is really embarrassed. We really don't know. We just heard about it. You don't have to worry. Maybe as the man just said, the princess may have been rescued. But it's hard to say about this kind of thing. If it spreads randomly, it will be killed.
Yan Kaizhi saw that he was particularly cautious about this matter and couldn't help asking, "Who told you to kill the head?"
The teenager was not afraid of the warning of the big man and continued: "It's Lord Mu from northern Sichuan. I heard that he is a senior official in Beijing and has a bad temper. When we entered northern Sichuan that day, some people said that the princess might have been rescued, and he just heard it. The man was locked up to make a crime by spreading rumors.
Mu Shizhen? Yan Kai was shocked. How could he have anything to do with Mu Shizhen? Did he also know about it?
Yan Kaizhi looked at the teenager warmly, "Do you know where it happened?"
He chose to believe that Lanzhi was rescued, but he did not see him in Doro. Even if the emperor knew, he could not send someone to find him. In case something happens to Lanzhi, the trouble is King Dora, so it is reusible for Doro to hide the news. But Mu Shizhen wants to hide the news. Does he know anything about it? Thinking of this, Yan Kaizhi couldn't wait to start immediately and ask Mu Shizhen about the situation in person.
The teenager thought for a moment, "It's in the area of Zlu."
Yan Kaizhi thanked the big man and the teenager, and suddenly understood the reason why Mu Shizhen concealed it: Zilu is a small tribe in Doro, less than an hour away from the north of Sichuan. If there is an accident on which side, there is no reason not to know. If Lanzhi is really rescued, it must have fled to the north of Sichuan, otherwise Mu Shizhen should send someone to look for it. But Mushi really doesn't let people talk about it because he must know about Lanzhi. Is it possible that he has seen Lanzhi or knew something?
As long as Lanzhi survives, she is bound to return to Beijing, and the only way back to Beijing is Liangcheng. Yan Kaizhi walked back to the hospital and had an idea when he saw Hu Banniang chasing Fulin.
