Chapter 1750 Escort (January Monthly Ticket Plus 14)
Not many people cared about Zhou Man leaving the palace. Everyone knew that the Imperial Medical Bureau was officially in session today, so it was normal for her to leave the palace.
No one would come to her to inquire about the news. After all, she was smart but young. What if she didn't know how to weigh the pros and cons and turned around and sold them out in the palace?
It would be bad if the emperor and the crown prince misunderstood that they were spying on the palace.
Although their actions were just spying on the palace.
So Tang He, who often goes in and out of the palace and is in charge of this case... there are often people around his father, Old Lord Tang, and everyone always mentions what is happening in the palace in a vague way when they talk.
Old Lord Tang said that he knew nothing. His son had not returned home, and they would not discuss the matter even if he did. If he had the guts, he should go ask Yin Li.
Who is so stupid as to ask Yin Li?
Even Lord Yang couldn't help but shake his head and laugh with Yang Heshu, saying, "Your uncle Tang is getting better and better at finding excuses. Who would dare to go find that fellow Yin Li?"
Yang Heshu paused with his chopsticks, then continued eating as if nothing had happened. He said, "My uncle has always valued rules. He will certainly not reveal the secrets of the palace to others."
Lord Yang laughed and said, "How can this be considered a palace secret? Since Yin Li has gone to investigate, the person must be sent to the Dali Temple for trial. By the way, aren't you in the palace now? Do you know what happened in the palace this time?"
Yang Heshu's expression remained calm as he continued, "I haven't seen Zhihe in the past two days, but I heard rumors that a palace maid involved in the affairs of the Eastern Palace committed suicide."
"Two eunuchs died in the Eastern Palace last time, so why is there another palace maid dead this time? The little grandson was only born a few days ago..."
Yang Heshu said, "The maidservant who died this time was from the Chongwen Hall. She wasn't one of those serving the Crown Prince and Crown Princess in the East Palace or West Palace. I don't know why."
Lord Yang nodded and stopped asking questions. Instead, he pointed at a plate of greens on the table and said with a smile, "These are fresh vegetables sent from Tangquan Mountain. You don't like meat, and I know you'll be back for lunch today, so I specially asked someone to make them for you."
Yang Heshu smiled and said, "Thank you, father."
Lord Yang: "Why are you being so polite to me, father and son? By the way, do you have enough money on you? The farm just sent some money, you can use it."
Yang Heshu didn't have any particular need for the money, but this time he nodded in agreement.
Lord Yang was happy and asked someone to deliver the money to Yang Heshu after dinner.
Yang Heshu opened the box and took a look at the gold inside, then closed it casually and looked at Wantian.
Wan Tian stepped forward and took a look before saying, "This is the box that was delivered from Shuile Street last night."
Just as he finished speaking, Qianmu came in quickly from outside and whispered, "The Marquis just asked the butler to drive to Shuile Street."
The Yang family of Shuile Street is the fifth prince's maternal family and also Yang Heshu's cousin's family.
Yang Heshu stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back. After a while, he nodded and said, "I understand. You can go down."
Qianmu and Wantian looked at each other with some concern, and finally retreated silently.
Yang Heshu closed his eyes, stayed in the study for a long time, and finally rode out on horseback.
Wan Tian hurried to follow.
The two of them walked aimlessly and eventually arrived at the Imperial College.
Yang Heshu stood outside the wall of the Imperial College, listening to the sound of reading coming from inside, and his irritability subsided a little.
Manbao, who was standing on the podium to teach students for the first time, was so nervous that his palms were sweating. Miraculously, he forgot the unpleasantness of the past two days, and the irritability and resentment in his heart dissipated a lot.
She only had one class today, originally she was supposed to have three, but Xiao Yuanzheng had already wasted the entire morning.
However, she did not rush to leave after class, but transferred to two other classes.
Students in the acupuncture class not only have to learn pulse secrets, but also learn to recognize words. Unlike other schools that use the "Thousand Character Classic" to teach people, here they are taught to recognize words using four medical books such as "Pulse Secrets" and "Compendium of Materia Medica", so the courses will be very slow at the beginning.
Manbao came over to greet them and mentioned Zheng Gu and Liu Yi's daughter Zheng Shao by name. He led them out and said, "The books you read and the things you learn are different from theirs. After the spring of next year, the office will have an adjustment. For now, you will still study according to the previous schedule. If you have time, you can help the teachers teach the students."
Zheng Gu agreed with his fellow junior brothers and sisters.
Manbao nodded, then packed up his basket and left.
The doorman harnessed Manbao's carriage and pulled her out the door, then asked, "Master Zhou, are you driving yourself?"
Manbao nodded, put the book basket on the cart, jumped in and drove away. When passing by the Imperial College next door, Manbao saw Yang Heshu standing under the wall in a daze.
Manbao immediately extended his hand and greeted, "Brother Yang!"
Wan Tian glanced back and immediately reminded: "Sir, it's Miss Man."
Yang Heshu turned around and smiled when he saw Manbao. Seeing that she was sitting on the shaft driving the carriage, he handed the horse to Wantian and went forward, "Where is your driver?"
Manbao smiled and said, "I am one myself."
Yang Heshu knew that this was impossible. How could the palace let Zhou Man leave alone?
However, he did not ask any further questions. Instead, he nodded and said, "I'll take you to the palace."
After saying that, he jumped onto the carriage, nodded to Wantian, took the reins from Manbao, and drove towards the imperial city.
Manbao moved a little and asked, "Xiaoxue Brother Yang, why are you here at the Imperial College? Are you here to gather information?"
Yang Heshu asked with a smile, "What news do you want to find out?"
"Dean Xiao was saying that everything in our Imperial Medical Bureau is modeled after the Imperial College. I thought you were here to gather information."
Upon hearing this, Yang Heshu couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "You forgot, I graduated from the Imperial College."
Manbao then remembered, "That's right. If it doesn't work, we can just ask Bai Shan and the others. Why do we have to come here to find out? Aren't you going to the yamen today, brother?"
Yang Heshu said, "There was nothing to do in the government office, so I went home."
In fact, the palace is now under strict security. Although no evidence has been found in this incident, Yang is also on the list of suspects, so he does not want to stay in the palace.
Not only do you feel uncomfortable, but you also cause trouble for others.
Manbao didn't know this at the moment. He dangled his legs from the shaft of the cart, swaying them as he said, "I'm so envious. I also wish I had nothing to do."
Yang Heshu smiled and said, "Now that the Crown Princess has given birth, there are no more critically ill patients in the palace. Your remaining tasks should be editing books and teaching at the Imperial Medical Bureau, right?"
Manbao nodded. "Dean Xiao said that if the classes are restructured next year, the remaining medical books need to be compiled as soon as possible, so it's quite busy."
Yang Heshu nodded and said, "Since you are so busy, I will give you a ride starting from tomorrow."
"Ah?" Manbao looked at him in confusion.
"Bai Shan came to see me this morning. He hoped that I would take care of you more in the future. I thought that I would have to go out of the palace to visit the Imperial Medical Bureau frequently in the next few days, so we might as well go together."
Manbao's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Okay, tomorrow I won't drive the carriage. I'll ride a horse. I'll ride Chiji."
Yang Heshu smiled and nodded.
He didn't tell Zhou Man that Bai Shan also suspected Yang. He said, "Regardless of who did this, Manbao ruined their business. Those adults may not all be open-minded. So I would like to ask Brother Yang to take care of Manbao on my behalf."
In terms of the right to speak in the aristocratic family, Yang Heshu has more say than Tang He. With him making his position clear, Manbao will be much safer.
He hoped that Manbao would not be implicated in the initial fight between those big men, and as long as the initial irritating stage was over and things died down, he had plenty of ways to prevent Manbao from being involved.
Good night
