Chapter 260: Under house arrest in the palace
When Luo Li heard that the palace had sent someone to summon her to the palace again, she frowned and was puzzled. "What kind of madness has the emperor gone through? I was summoned to the palace for interrogation after returning to Beijing. I have been staying at home honestly these days and have not even left the house. Why did he summon me to the palace again? Otherwise, I will pretend to be sick!"
Princess Wei reminded worriedly: "Since the emperor has summoned you, you can't make excuses not to go. The emperor has made a golden word, pretending to be sick and not going is a crime of disobeying the emperor's order. Luo Li, you are never willing to suffer grievances. If there is a mistake, the emperor will punish you. You must be careful after entering the palace, act according to the situation, and hold back words that you shouldn't say."
"Sister-in-law, I will accompany you into the palace and go to see the emperor with you." Princess Yongqing was also a little worried.
Luo Li smiled, "It's a blessing in disguise. If it's a disaster, we can't avoid it. I'll go into the palace to deal with it. Prince of Qin Zhao Defang is still in Yizhou guarding the border for him. Can the emperor, this tiger, eat people?"
Princess Wei warned her worriedly, "Luo Li, be careful."
Luo Li, who walked to the door, turned around and smiled at her, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I, the silly princess, am not a particularly stupid person. It's okay, you just wait here, I'll be back before dark."
After entering the palace, Luo Li took Princess Yongqing back to Yayan Pavilion. The emperor summoned Princess Qin. If Princess Yongqing went with him, she might make him very angry and implicate Yongqing.
Hong Gu, who followed Luo Li into the palace, was stopped at a distance.
Luo Li, who was walking silently on the bluestone road behind the little eunuch, felt a little nervous. This direction was not to the bedroom where the ladies lived in the back, but to the study room of Chuigong Palace. That was an important place for the emperor to review memorials, handle official business, summon important ministers and hold small court meetings. How could she, the Princess of Qin, be taken to this important office?
"Your Majesty, the Princess of Qin wants to see you." The little eunuch's shrill voice scared the cranky Luo Li.
"Announce the Princess of Qin to see you!" The voice of the eldest eunuch Wang Jien came out.
Luo Li took a deep breath, relieved her nervous mood, and walked in.
She didn't dare to look around. She caught a glimpse of the bright yellow figure sitting behind the desk, so she knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, I have seen you."
No movement...
[The domineering atmosphere in the study of Yu is much stronger than that in the bedrooms of the ladies in the harem. This spacious palace is silent and full of oppression!]
Luo Li secretly complained in her heart, but she didn't dare to look up to see what was going on?
Her legs were numb from kneeling, and she heard a more oppressive voice above her head: "Princess Qin, do you know your crime?"
Luo Li shuddered involuntarily, and lowered her head to the floor in panic, "I know my crime. I shouldn't have given 20% of the lucrative toilet paper business to Concubine Li Xian without consulting the King of Qin, which caused the trouble of marital discord and family disharmony, and caused Your Majesty to worry. I beg Your Majesty to punish her."
The majestic emperor was stunned!
What's going on? This silly princess is really mentally ill and mentally abnormal. She pleaded guilty and accepted punishment.
"Princess Qin, do you know medicine?" The emperor's voice was cold and stern: "I heard that you cured the congenital disease of Zhao Wuji, the young master of the Prince of Wei's Mansion? Wuji is a member of the royal family. How dare you conceal this matter? Do you know your crime?"
Luo Li's heart skipped a beat! Cold sweat broke out instantly.
[How did this secret leak out? Luo Li raised her head with a silly look of excitement in her eyes. "I told Your Majesty that I
know medical skills the last time I entered the palace. The old man Ghost Hand Poison Doctor is really good at medicine. I saw him perform surgery on little Wu Ji and cured his illness. Then, I was willing to learn medicine from him. Your Majesty,
you don't know that Ghost Hand Poison Doctor is not willing to teach his magical medical skills easily. He will only teach people with extremely talented people. He said that I am a very talented person. Among his students, I am the fastest and best learner.
Your Majesty, if you don’t believe me, you can go ask Lin Xian’er who lives in the Qin Wangfu Hot Spring Villa. A few days ago, she had acute intestinal ascites and was almost dying of pain. I took out the rotten intestines in her stomach and cut them out, so she was able to survive!"
The more Luo Li spoke, the brighter her eyes became, "Your Majesty, I and the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor have learned superb medical skills. In the future, if any of the ladies in this palace suffer from acute intestinal ascites, and the doctors are all men and it is inconvenient to treat them, you can order me to come and I will cure the disease with just one cut."
"How dare you! Princess Qin, you are so brave that you dare to curse the ladies in the palace to suffer from acute intestinal ascites, an incurable disease?" The emperor shouted angrily!
Luo Li was frightened!
She kowtowed in fear and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I dare not curse the ladies in the palace. It's just that... people eat all kinds of food, and no one can guarantee that they will have a catastrophic disease, right? With a wife like me who has excellent medical skills, I can save his life and I don't have to pay for the consultation. Isn't it good?"
Although her voice was getting smaller and smaller, the silly princess still spoke out her thoughts.
Wang Jien almost laughed out loud, but he quickly closed his mouth and retreated to an inconspicuous place in the corner of the wall.
The emperor also laughed in his heart, and looked at the silly princess who was kneeling on the ground obediently with suspicion. Looking at her posture, it was really ugly! She didn't know the etiquette of being a royal princess at all.
Today, the Minister of Rites Rong Zhixing reported secretly that the Princess of Qin possessed unique medical skills and cured the congenital disease of Zhao Wuji, the heir of King Wei, and also cured the acute intestinal gastritis of Lin Xianer, the cousin of King Qin.
There are rumors that Cao Bin's mother suffered from an eye disease and was blind for two years, but her eyes miraculously recovered. I wonder if it was the work of the Princess of Qin? The Princess of Qin deliberately concealed this matter, and she must have had ulterior motives.
Thinking of this, the emperor's face darkened! "Princess of Qin, did you cure Cao Bin's mother's eye disease?"
[This matter has also been exposed and leaked?
Luo Li's heart sank again. She prostrated herself on the ground with her head down and replied, "Your Majesty, Cao Bin's mother's eye disease was cured by the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor. He said that such a complicated and meticulous operation would take even someone as gifted as me three to five years to learn. However, I will work hard to learn the
art of curing eye diseases from the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor. If the ladies in the palace get eye diseases in the future..." "
Shut up!" The emperor angrily stopped the silly princess from saying anything. Why did she have to involve the ladies in the palace for all kinds of illnesses?
Wang Jien saw the look of the eunuch at the door, so he stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, Cao Bin is here."
"Call him in."
After Cao Bin came in, he saw the Princess of Qin kneeling on the ground in an ugly posture. He was startled, then he knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor as usual.
: "Your Majesty, I, Cao Bin, kowtow to Your Majesty. Long live
the Emperor!" : "My dear Cao, please stand up."
Cao Bin was a high-ranking official in the court. The Emperor did not establish his authority, but he did not give him a throne as usual.
The Emperor stared at Cao Bin and asked, "My dear Cao, I heard that your mother's eyesight was restored and it was the Princess of Qin who cured her? Is this true?"
Cao Bin was shocked!
Luo Li, who was kneeling on the ground, was even more shocked! How could a king, who was secretly cursing the cunning and insidious shameless emperor, lie to his ministers?
Cao Bin calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, my mother's eye disease was not cured by the Princess of Qin. It was the uncle of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, who cured my mother's eyesight after being blind for more than two years.
Your Majesty, please be wise. Don't be fooled by those who are greedy for fame. I dare to guarantee that there is no one else in the world who can master this miraculous medical skill except the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor." After Cao Bin finished speaking, he looked at the "greedy and famous" Princess of Qin who was kneeling on the ground with disdain.
Luo Li breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and put her heart in her stomach, secretly praising the cunning Cao Bin.
[It is said that those who are old and immortal are thieves. Cao Bin is really a thief. He was not deceived by the emperor. 】
: "In that case, let's wait for the Prince of Qin to return to the capital, and then let the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor come to report to the emperor!" The emperor believed it in his heart. These magical medical skills that can cure these incurable diseases can probably only be mastered by the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor in the world!
He believed that Rong Zhixing, the Minister of Rites, was just making up stories, but he didn't want to let the foolish princess who didn't respect the emperor off so easily.
"Princess Qin, you are rude and don't know the royal etiquette. Just stay in the palace for the time being and let your mother, the Queen Song, teach you for a few days!"
Luo Li felt a little aggrieved. This palace has become a den of dragons and tigers. Once you enter, you will be under house arrest and can't leave.
I narrowly escaped the disaster today. I dare not bargain and honestly responded: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will follow my mother and learn the rules well."
