"Hmm, I guess they want to play out a cat-for-prince drama. Let's just watch." Lin Su said with a smile.
06 Feeling somewhat powerless: [Host, I haven't said anything yet.]
What kind of drama can they put on when they get together? Lin Su asked rhetorically.
06 I think what the host said makes a lot of sense.
There were countless congratulations in the Lin Mansion, but Lin Su only accepted congratulations but not gifts. He did not accept only selective gifts, but refused all of them. Even if the gifts were returned, those people would not say anything.
Qing Tang agreed to meet some people he had to, and the rest he couldn't handle, so he went inside and drank from the cup on the table: "There are so many tricks in the officialdom. I have to think three times before I say anything, for fear of offending anyone."
"That's my teacup." Lin Su pointed at the table.
Lin Qingtang no longer blushed as easily as he did in previous years. He didn't put the cup down, but asked, "Master, do you mind?"
"I don't mind," Lin Su said with a smile, "I just want to say that if you want to kiss me, just kiss me directly, there's no need to be so roundabout."
Lin Qingtang was at a loss as to whether to pick up or put down the teacup in her hand, and her face flushed.
Although he gradually got used to it, the young master was always one step ahead in skills.
"A gentleman should not speak without due propriety!" Qing Tang said after taking a deep breath.
"Yes, I will follow your instructions, madam." Lin Su did not say that he was not a gentleman in this matter.
But Lin Qingtang's face flushed even more: "Your Majesty has not yet granted the marriage, so I am not considered your wife yet."
"If it's not counted, wouldn't we be having an affair every day without a matchmaker? It's really disrespectful to society." Lin Su pretended to sigh, "If outsiders knew about this, wouldn't we be thrown into a pig cage?"
Lin Qingtang was speechless. Even if he had become the top scholar, he would be a million miles away from being able to argue with the young master: "You!"
"I was wrong." Lin Su admitted his mistake quickly, leaving Qing Tang with no room for anger. "What were you laughing at just now?"
"It's funny that some people like to daydream in broad daylight." Lin Su said with a smile.
"If you don't have any ill intentions, it's okay to dream." Lin Qingtang thought of his dreams in the past. At that time, he would never dare to imagine his current situation. The dreams at that time were bitter and beautiful. Now the bitterness is gone, leaving only beauty.
"Madam, you are right. I am grateful for your advice." Lin Su bowed to him, showing a sense of not being ashamed to ask questions.
Although Lin Qingtang felt a little uncomfortable, he acquiesced to his address.
Although he has a son, all he wants in his life is Lin Su. Even if she is his wife, as long as the name is legitimate, any title is fine.
Congratulations always come to an end. Lin Qingtang entered the Hanlin Academy and became a compiler like Lin Su did in the past. However, unlike Lin Su, he was not good at socializing and just focused on his work. With Lin Su's support, no one made things difficult for him. Instead, they appreciated his respectful attitude.
Although he has support from others, he does not show any arrogance, which makes Qing Tang quite popular.
"I know I'm a little stupid, I just want to follow the path of a loyal minister. It would be best if I could do something practical for the people." Qing Tang said when he was talking to Lin Su at night.
"If my wife wants to learn, I will teach you everything I know." Lin Su said with a smile.
The two of them had different jobs and were not always in the same place. Lin Su waited for a long time and deliberately increased the kitchen's supply before he finally got the cup of tea with added ingredients.
The name of the medicine is Xuewuteng. It is extremely rare and not a lethal poison. It will only make people fall into a coma, but no symptoms can be found. The pulse is weakened, as if there are signs of impending death.
Lin Su could guess the purpose of the two men, but he didn't know what they were planning specifically. He couldn't gamble with Qing Tang's life, so he asked 06 to repeat it one by one.
Kidnapping an imperial official is a capital crime, punishable by the death of nine generations of the family, so the second wife did not dare to do so.
Qi Qingyi said with a smile: "We won't do anything, just let Lin Qingtang go voluntarily."
Didn't he love Lin Su? For his life, what was wrong with him willingly devoting himself to another man?
This plan is indeed vicious.
Lin Su sniffed it and drank the tea in one gulp under the careful gaze of his servant.
In just a moment, Lin Su rested his head on the table beside him, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered. The voice of the doctor was also heard from the Shangshu Mansion.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?!"
"Someone come quickly, call a doctor!"
“…”
Lin Qingtang had just returned home when he was startled by the chaotic situation. He stopped someone and asked, "What's going on?"
"Master, the master has suddenly fainted!" The servant said hurriedly. Seeing who was speaking, he quickly grabbed Qing Tang's sleeve and said, "Master Qing Tang, the master has suddenly fainted. The doctor came and said... said..."
"What did you say?" Lin Qingtang asked anxiously.
The servant knelt down and said, "They say there is no cure!"
"How could this be?" Lin Qingtang stood there in a daze. The next moment, he took a deep breath, grabbed his clothes, and ran towards Lin Su's room without caring about his image at all.
There were several people gathered in the room. Apart from Lin's father and his second wife, the others were basically doctors.
Lin Su lay in bed, seemingly asleep. The doctor who was taking his pulse stood up, shook his head, and sighed, "My diagnosis is exactly the same as theirs before. This is clearly a sign of exhaustion. I think the Shangshu has been extremely tired. Now we can only use ginseng to keep him alive and see how it works."
"You're lying!" Qing Tang heard his words from behind the crowd. He had never been so harsh before, but now he didn't care about anything else. "It must be that you and your mediocre doctor are incompetent. Find another doctor."
The doctor was about to retort, but when he saw Qing Tang's official uniform, he held back his anger and said, "Sir, we have been practicing medicine for decades. How dare we joke with the life of the Minister? All the doctors in the capital are here. If you don't trust us, you can only ask the imperial physician in the palace to come and see us."
However, the palace gates were already locked at this time. If he broke in at night, his entire family would be implicated and his entire clan would be executed. Even if the young master was still alive, he would be considered dead.
Qing Tang's face turned pale. He sat on the bed and looked at Lin Su. He held his wrist and said, "It's not that I don't believe you, but the young master has always been in good health. How could he be like this all of a sudden?"
His eyes were slightly red, clearly trying to hold back tears. The doctors had seen countless people so anxious and angry, and one of them comforted him, "We can only keep him here for now. The Minister has received the grace of His Majesty, and with our abilities, we can still hold on until tomorrow. We can then call in the imperial physician."
"In that case, I'll trouble you all." Qing Tang closed his eyes and said, "I only hope that you can do your best. No matter what the result is, you will be rewarded handsomely."
The doctor naturally needs to eat, so the people present said, "Please rest assured, sir."
The medicine was boiled and brought over. Qing Tang fed the patient the medicine himself without the help of others. Although his fingers were shaking a little, the medicine did not spill.
