"Xiaohua, you have been studying medicine for many years. Ever since you learned to feel the pulse, you have never felt the pulse of anyone around you? Only Meng Changqing. When you were a child, you wanted to feel her pulse. Your father gave you a three-ring ruler. Do you still remember this? ”
Hu Xiaohua said: "I am deeply impressed."
Doctor Hu asked again: "Why do you want to go to Beishan County to take care of her?"
"If his injury does not recover well, he will be lame when he walks in the future." Hu Xiaohua said, "I have known him for many years, and I really can't bear to have him become disabled because of your fear."
After Dr. Hu was silent, he asked repeatedly: "Are you sure you want to see a doctor for her?"
Seeing Hu Xiaohua nodding affirmatively, Doctor Hu said: "If I tell you a secret, I tell you to bury it in your heart. No one can ask you to tell it. Even if you are tortured, you will never tell it. Can you do it?" br>
Hu Xiaohua just felt confused, "Why do you want to tell me such a secret?"
Doctor Hu relaxed and said, "That's right, that's why you are not allowed to treat Meng Changqing."
"You mean, this secret is related to Meng Changqing?"
Doctor Hu looked at her and said nothing.
Hu Xiaohua asked again: "After I find out, will someone come to torture me?"
"Not necessarily."
"What is the secret?"
"It's a poison that saves one's family and one's life, and it's a crime of deceiving the emperor.
Do you really want to know? Are you prepared to keep this secret? "Doctor Hu said, "You can't tell anyone, not even your husband or your children in the future. ”
Hu Xiaohua thought for a moment and then said: "I really want to keep his foot. I don't want to feel guilty when I see him walking in the future. Please tell me."
"Meng Changqing is a woman."
"What did you say!"
Now Hu Xiaohua has long digested the initial shock, and the look in her eyes at Meng Changqing is no different from before.
She hung the sachet on Meng Changqing's bed and said, "Keep it well."
After Hu Xiaohua left, Wen brought food to see Meng Changqing. Wen didn't seem to have changed much after not seeing him for the past few days. She will always be Meng Changqing's backbone. When she is there, Meng Changqing knows that he is safe.
"Feeling better?" Wen asked her.
"Much better, but I still don't have much strength."
"In the past three days, you haven't eaten anything except medicine, so naturally you feel weak." Wen Shi lifted the thick cloth on the basket, "The porridge Xiaodai cooked for you was made with bean sprouts and shredded chicken. ”
As soon as the porridge was served, Meng Changqing couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She was indeed hungry.
In front of Mr. Wen, she drank three bowls in a row.
"You have suffered." Mrs. Wen looked at her with uncontrollable distress in her eyes, "Your mother cried for three nights when she saw you like this. She was afraid that I would feel guilty. She did not dare to cry in front of me, nor did she dare to live. Show more concern for you ”
Meng Changqing said: "I brought it on myself." Wen went to the basin and washed a handkerchief, handed it to Meng Changqing, and asked her to wipe her face and hands.
"Don't talk about yourself like that, you mean well." Wen said, "You are so warm-hearted, this is the most like your mother."
Meng Changqing smiled and then talked about things in the capital, "When I returned to the capital this time, the prince secretly came out of the palace to see me. After hearing the meaning of his words, he actually became wary of the emperor."
< br>
"It's normal." Wen said, "I have always encountered a state of calm. It turns out that the emperor only has him in his heart. There are no obstacles on the road he is walking on, so he naturally just moves forward without looking at his feet.
But now, regardless of whether it is true or not, His Majesty values the third prince more than before, and the prince has to be cautious.
He would not only be on guard against the third prince, he would also be on guard against the person who asked the third prince to go with him. ”
"What mother said is right, but I only stayed here for a short time this time and only met the emperor once. I really couldn't understand the emperor's thoughts."
"How can you see through other people's thoughts? Let alone the emperor, he is the person who gets along with you every day. It is easy to hide your own thoughts.
So Changqing, you don’t have to guess what the emperor is thinking.
Do what you are doing well, and the opportunity to choose will eventually be presented to you one day, and only then will you need to think about it. ”
Meng Changqing nodded thoughtfully, then smiled bitterly, "Mother, can Bafang give you a box of gold?"
Wen opened the cabinet next to her bed, and inside was the brocade box the emperor gave her, "I put it in here. Bafang told me that this was a reward from the emperor to you, and that you were fined three years' salary." , and I will serve as a county magistrate in Beishan County for ten years.”
"Yes, the salary for those three years was fined at court, but for the ten years the county magistrate was in the imperial study room. He made the decision when I had a private conversation with the emperor. I don't know which words of mine made him behave like this. Thoughts." Meng Changqing frowned and felt helpless.
Being with a king is like being with a tiger. Only those who have experienced it can understand the fear involved.
"To say something selfish, I would rather you stay in Beishan County than return to the capital. Although the conditions here are far inferior to those in the capital, you may live more comfortably and your identity will not be easy to see through." Wen said. Here is a turning point, "But you want to go back to Beijing, I can understand. Since you are already in the officialdom, you must want to make a difference."
Meng Changqing was also torn between the two. The comfort of Beishan County was especially prominent after her trip to the capital.
Not to mention anything else, just for the morning meeting, she would wait at the palace gate before dawn. She was in Beishan County, and except when she went to Liangzhou Prefecture to hand over work, it didn't matter if she slept until midnight at other times.
However, she was already in the officialdom. Even if she didn't want to make a difference, she couldn't settle down in Beishan County.
She was motionless in the whirlpool, so naturally someone pushed her.
"Mother, what I am pursuing now may be the weapon that kills our family in the future."
Wen held Meng Changqing's hand and said, "Don't think so much. Since the Emperor has his will, let's stay peacefully in Beishan County. There will always be a chance. No matter what your choice is, your mother and I will Always believe in you.”
Meng Changqing held her hand back, lowered his head and looked at the protruding position on the cup, "Mom, Sister Xiaohua knows about my situation."
Wen Shi nodded, "Doctor Hu will not leave Liangzhou Mansion no matter what. He wants you to stay with him to recuperate, but you are not safe at his place. I originally wanted him to prescribe medicine and bring it back, but unexpectedly Xiaohua came back from the consultation and saw your injury and was willing to take care of you
But don't worry, Dr. Hu took care of her before she took your pulse. ”
"In my luggage, there is also a package to be handed over to Mr. Wei. It is the clothes that Mrs. Wei has sewn for him."
"You don't have to worry about this." Wen said, "Although you haven't seen Mr. Wei this time when you came back, he has already seen you. He came to see you when you fainted in Doctor Hu's pharmacy. At that time Bafang has already given him the package." (End of Chapter)
