Deng made a token refusal to Li Jue, then thanked him profusely and accepted the ginseng.
In fact, the other medicines in Sun Simiao's prescription were very cheap, but ginseng was very expensive and ordinary people could not afford it.
With this basket of ginseng, her husband will recover in just a few days.
That day, Deng nervously presented the medicine to her husband, but she never expected that her husband would notice something was wrong just by smelling it.
"This medicine isn't right today!"
"Husband, this medicine was prepared according to Doctor Sun's prescription, so why is it wrong?"
Liu Rengui snorted coldly upon hearing this.
Ginseng!
"The ginseng smell is too strong!"
"Although I am not a doctor, after drinking herbal decoctions for a few days, I still know what ginseng tastes like!"
"The ginseng in this medicine today is clearly not something you can buy at an ordinary pharmacy. Besides, with our family's financial situation, we can't even afford ordinary ginseng, let alone such high-end stuff."
Upon hearing this, Deng felt a sudden chill, but before he could explain, Liu Rengui's expression changed drastically.
"You took money behind my back?"
Upon hearing this, Ms. Deng quickly offered an explanation.
"No, no, no... My husband knows me, how could I dare to accept money from others?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Rengui pushed the medicine bowl aside and leaned against the wall in a huff.
"Then explain clearly what this medicine is all about. If you can't explain it clearly, I'd rather die than drink it!"
Upon hearing this, Lady Deng had no choice but to recount the matter of the Crown Prince in detail. However, to her surprise, her husband, upon learning that the ginseng came from the Crown Prince, not only did not object, but instead cheerfully picked up the medicine bowl and drank the soup in one gulp.
"My husband..."
"Don't you dislike the Crown Prince?"
Liu Rengui looked surprised upon hearing this.
"Who said I hate the Crown Prince?"
"My lord, the Crown Prince told me that he has invited you several times, but you have not accepted..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Rengui immediately snorted coldly.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. He never invited me a second time. He only invited me once, and after I refused him in person, he never invited me a second time!"
"ah?"
When Deng heard this, she was completely stunned. She wondered what her husband meant. Did he want to side with the Crown Prince, or did he not want to side with the Crown Prince?
"My lord, I think the Crown Prince is a very good person. He is kind and gentle, and he is also very respectful to you..."
Upon hearing this, Liu Rengui immediately corrected him.
"Wrong, wrong, wrong!"
"He is kind to people?"
"You have no idea that he strapped explosives to someone's body and blew them to pieces!"
"Moreover, my current illness is inextricably linked to this grandson. If he hadn't forced His Majesty to punish Prince Jin, His Majesty wouldn't have vented his anger on us!"
"Also, I'm not a corporal!"
"He didn't really treat me with any special courtesy; he just had too much money to burn and asked me to help him spend some!"
"you……"
Although Deng was a typical feudal woman who always regarded her husband as the head of the household, she still felt that her husband was being a bit unreasonable when she heard his words.
"Husband, since you don't want to help the eldest grandson, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to take their medicine?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Rengui calmly replied.
"What's wrong with it?"
"Let me tell you, the eldest grandson's money is the cleanest. Not a single drop of the people's hard-earned money is in it; it's all earned through his own means!"
"I feel at ease spending his money and taking his medicine!"
"As for asking me to help him..."
Liu Rengui's face darkened as he finished speaking.
"It's not that I don't want to help him, but he was riding high before, surrounded by many people. If I were to get involved, wouldn't I be ridiculed for being opportunistic and forgetting righteousness?"
"Now that he's fallen on hard times and is under His Majesty's confinement, I might consider it..."
"well!"
Hearing her husband's words, Deng got up and left, feeling very depressed.
She had finally seen through her husband; he was just a stubborn mule who wouldn't budge no matter how much she tried to pull him away!
With Li Xiang's wedding date approaching, not only was Li Xiang himself anxious, but his younger brother Li Jue was also anxious.
Because he submitted several memorials to Emperor Taizong of Tang, Emperor Taizong did not lift his confinement.
Although Li Jue is a force to be reckoned with, a mere imperial edict cannot stop him, he is currently caught in the vortex, so it's best to avoid trouble if possible.
Just when Li Jue was at his wit's end, his subordinates suddenly told him that someone had arrived, someone he had invited but had been refused.
"Liu Rengui is here?"
"Quickly, invite them in!"
"No, no, no, I'll go pick them up myself!"
This was the first time Li Xiang had seen his younger brother so attentive, so he quickly asked.
Who is Liu Rengui?
"Brother, this man once served Uncle Jiu and is quite capable. It's a good opportunity to recruit him for my use!"
"Oh, oh, oh... but little brother, be careful, lest this person still have lingering ties with Uncle Nine!"
Li Jue waved his hand dismissively upon hearing this.
"rest assured!"
"This person has absolutely no connection with Uncle Nine. He probably hates Uncle Nine the most right now, hahaha!"
Li Jue arrived at the entrance of the Qin Prince's mansion with a loud laugh to greet Liu Rengui. Upon seeing this, Liu Rengui did not show any surprise or delight, but rather acted as if he were visiting an old friend.
However, proper etiquette still had to be observed, and Liu Rengui quickly bowed to Li Jue upon seeing him.
"Your humble servant pays respects to the Crown Prince!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jue quickly helped Liu Rengui up.
"Mr. Liu, you've finally come to help me!"
Liu Rengui smiled slightly upon hearing this.
