Chapter 211: Prince Zhou is seriously ill
With the addition of Qian Chuanzi, a smile appeared on Manager Xu's face.
And every time Luo Xiao saw him, he would always make sarcastic remarks.
Especially Qian Chuanzi, who was scolded several times by Master Qian, and he couldn't help but fight!
Shopkeeper Xu was watching from the side, and only when he found out that the master and disciple had indeed broken up was he completely relieved.
As long as the money scammer's escape route is cut off, the chef will not be able to escape.
However, the Luo family has been keeping a closer eye on other chefs, so it's not that easy to get them here.
We have to think of other ways.
Half a month passed and there was no movement in Zhending Prefecture, Jizhou.
But a piece of news came from Youzhou City that the prince of Prince Huai was seriously ill and could not get out of bed.
I heard that the doctors asked the palace to prepare for the funeral, and even the birthday banquet for Prince Huai’s old princess was cancelled.
Guancheng government office.
When Magistrate Liu looked at the letter in his hand, the tense mood that had been in place for half a month was relieved a lot.
"Sir," Judge Wang came in and said respectfully, "I wonder what it is that has summoned me?"
Prefect Liu handed the letter over and said casually, "Take a look."
After Wang Tongpan took a quick look at the results, he said with a serious expression, "If something happens to the Crown Prince, should we also prepare for it?"
Prefect Liu nodded slightly and said, "I am very busy with my duties. The autumn sandstorms are coming to Guancheng soon, so I have to stay in Guancheng. I will trouble you to go to the prefectural capital."
Wang Tongpan's heart skipped a beat. He looked up at Lord Liu's serious expression and knew that he had to go this time!
Although he was unfamiliar with the Youzhou capital, officials at all levels had never seen it.
But challenges are also opportunities!
"Yes! I will prepare it immediately and set off tomorrow!"
Not long after Wang Tongpan left, Master Liu's voice came from outside: "Brother-in-law, I'm here."
"Where is this place? You're making so much noise and it's so disrespectful!" Prefect Liu scolded him.
Mr. Liu didn't care at all and said with a playful smile: "Brother-in-law, something happened to Prince Zhou, so are we all right?"
Aksu was taken away and he was scared to death.
Luckily, my brother-in-law acted quickly!
"This matter has nothing to do with us. I'll keep it to myself." Magistrate Liu reprimanded sternly.
Mr. Liu said nonchalantly: "I know."
It seems that Lao Xu's Tianxiang Tower can be saved. He wants to tell the other party the good news, just in time to vent his wife's anger!
…
Luo's house.
A man dressed as a guard rode hurriedly over from a distance and stopped at the gate of Luo's residence. "I am a subordinate of Prince Zhou. I have come to invite Miss Fentao to the provincial capital. Please inform her!"
When the gatekeeper heard that it was related to Prince Zhou, he did not dare to delay and immediately found the housekeeper Fentao, who then hurriedly told the lady.
In the main hall of the front yard, the guard walked into the room with an anxious look on his face. He looked at the two women in front of him, one sitting and one standing, and immediately understood their identities.
He repeated his purpose, speaking earnestly, "I hope Madam will allow Miss Fentao to accompany me to the capital. The Crown Prince's condition is extremely critical and we can't delay any longer!"
Zhu Mingqing knew that this was a good opportunity to make friends with Prince Huai's Mansion, but the other party had countless famous doctors around them, so even if Fen Tao went, the role she could play was limited.
She immediately sent someone to explain the situation to Dr. Hua and ask for his opinion.
If the other party agrees, that would be best.
If she didn't want to go, then she and Fen Tao would go alone.
As for refusal, Zhu Mingqing had never considered this option.
Not to mention the support of the Immortal Palace.
Since Prince Huai's Mansion has sent people, it means that this trip is unavoidable. Otherwise, if they mess with a local tyrant like Prince Huai, their days in Youzhou will be really difficult.
…
The carriage drove quickly into the city.
Doctor Hua sighed, "My old bones are about to be broken on this journey!"
When the guards tried to stop him from entering the city, the guard simply took out the token from Prince Huai's mansion, and the guard let him pass immediately after seeing it.
Wang Tongpan was just in front of them, and when the curtain of his carriage was blown by the wind, he saw Zhu Mingqing.
kindness?
"Mrs. Zhu?"
He couldn't help but lift the curtain of the car and called out.
When Fen Tao heard the name, she also opened the carriage curtain and shouted in surprise, "Master Wang!"
Wang Tongpan was sure that he had not seen it wrong. This was the maidservant beside Madam Zhu.
"Stop the car!" Zhu Mingqing's voice rang out. "It won't take long. I just want to say a few words."
The guards then drove the carriage to a stop on the side of the road.
After getting off the carriage, Judge Wang asked them why they suddenly came to the city. You know, the Luo family cannot leave the city easily without an imperial edict.
If they were discovered, Magistrate Liu would definitely not let them off.
Zhu Mingqing said softly, "Prince Huai's palace summoned me, and I dare not refuse to come. I hope that Lord Wang will keep it a secret for us."
Wang Tongpan was puzzled, as the only person who had a connection with Madam Zhu was Prince Zhou.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but remind: "The prince is not in good condition right now, Madam, please be careful with your words and actions."
"I understand. Thank you, Lord Wang, for reminding me."
After a brief chat and knowing the other party's purpose, Wang Tongpan told the other party his residence in the provincial capital before leaving.
The carriage of Prince Huai's mansion was parked at the side door.
Now there are many doctors lined up at the side door. They are all famous doctors found by Prince Huai from the people. Anyone who can cure Prince Huai's son will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.
Doctor Hua did not want to get involved too much, so he and Fen Tao followed Zhu Mingqing and entered the palace with the guards.
“How can they just go in?”
"Hush, keep your voice down. Didn't you see that the man in front is wearing the clothes of a palace guard?"
"That old man at the end looks familiar."
Doctor Hua's ears twitched and his head drooped even lower.
Prince Huai's Mansion covers a large area of more than a thousand acres. Passing through the wide courtyard, the tall palace appears before your eyes.
The maids and servants were doing their work in an orderly manner. No one dared to make any noise, for fear of angering the prince and being driven out of the mansion.
Prince Zhou's courtyard was located on the north side of Prince Huai's mansion. He walked for a full quarter of an hour but still couldn't see the end.
Just then, a group of people appeared and walked through the moon gate towards this direction.
The guards' faces changed and they immediately stood respectfully on both sides of the road, and asked Zhu Mingqing and others to bow their heads and not speak.
Concubine Xu's procession slowly approached. The two people in the front were holding medicinal herbs in their hands, and the sedan chair was carried by eight people. Even in the inner courtyard of the palace, the posture was very dignified.
"Who are you?"
A superior voice came from behind the gauze curtain, and the sedan chair stopped.
What you fear will come true.
The guard said cautiously, "I am the Crown Prince's personal guard, and these are the doctors who treat him."
Concubine Xu's fingers gently moved the gauze curtain, with a proud smile on her bright face: "Where did this country bumpkin come from? How dare you treat the prince? Send him out of the palace!"
The guard's expression suddenly changed.
Fugui can be said to be the last hope of the prince.
But now Concubine Xu won't let her in.
"You don't even want to listen to what I say?!"
Seeing that they didn't move, Concubine Xu's voice turned cold, and her bright red fingers looked even more charming under the white gauze curtain.
