Chapter 688

Cao family, east mansion, inner hall.

Looking at Zhaojia, who was closed on the kang, who was not aware of human affairs, Li showed a look of worry on his face. She took two steps closer and called out twice beside the kang, but Zhaojia did not react at all.

Chu Yu stood beside Jinghui and looked at the scene in front of him, and felt puzzled.

Yesterday, Zhao Jia also visited her family and talked about the matter of going to the general's mansion to make a grand settlement at the end of the month. She also said she would get married earlier and try to get the wedding done after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After all, it is a marriage gift, and it is still a journey from Beijing to Henan Prefecture. Why do you get sick by saying that you are sick?

When Li saw Zhao Jia like this, he couldn't help but frown.

After retreating to the outer room, she looked at Jinghui and said, "Why is the second wife so angry?"

It turned out that Zhao Jia was so angry that she fainted after being spoken by Cao Fu. Jinghui and Cao Fu were so scared that they were at a loss. Cao Song was appointed as a worker in the palace and was not at home.

The uncle and sister-in-law had to send someone to the imperial physician while asking someone to come over.

When Jinghui heard Li's question, she glanced at her brother-in-law who was embarrassed beside her and didn't know how to answer.

Li followed Jinghui's gaze and saw Cao Wei's panic, he felt suspicious and said, "Is Xiaowu disobedient and angry with your mother?"

"Uncle..." Cao Feng felt wronged when he saw Li's fault, and said with red eyes: "It was the mother who told the fourth brother that the marriage was inappropriate. The mother was still in her bones and was about to get a job before the end of the month. The nephew came back to study the bad words outside, and the mother was furious..."

At first, he was able to be justified, but in the end he was a little shameless to defend himself, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

When Li heard that there were other reasons, he waved his hand and sent all the maids standing in the room, then said, "What are you saying? Why did you touch your in-laws again?"

After hesitating for a moment, Cao Fu still told Li about the rumors about Yun Gege from his classmate.

When Li heard this, his face was pale and his body was shaking.

Chu Yu took a step forward and sat by the kang with his mother-in-law.

"What happened?" Li stroked his chest and looked at Cao Fu, still incredible.

"Can my nephew make up lies?" Cao Feng said: "Among my nephew's classmates, there is a Ming Tai from the Ma Jia family, who is Yongquan's cousin. He also mentioned kinship with the general's mansion two years ago. Yongquan felt that their family was in decline and did not think about the relatives' relationship, so he refused this marriage. He was also angry and told me what he said was that he was dissatisfied with Yongquan covering up his ugly things and cheating his relatives."

Li's face was pale, but he still couldn't wake up, so he heard a maid in the corridor telling him that the old man and the imperial physician were here.

Cao Yongyuan was talking in the study. When he heard that someone from the East Mansion had invited his mother and wife, he was worried and came over to take a look. Unexpectedly, he happened to see Doctor Chen's carriage arrive, so he came in together.

Li hurriedly invited Doctor Chen to come in and diagnose Zhao Jia's pulse.

It's nothing more than irritation to attack the heart and confusing the phlegm. Dr. Chen prescribed two prescriptions to remove fire and eliminate phlegm. When he gave the doctor's instructions, he hesitated and said, "You have to rest and you can't be angry anymore. Otherwise, when you see autumn, the solar terms change, delay and hinder the qi and blood, there will be something wrong."

Li nodded and responded, and ordered Jinghui to wrap the silver seal and ask the butler to send Dr. Chen back.

Cao Yong saw that everyone looked different, and he also realized something was wrong, and whispered to Chu Yu's reason.

Chu Yu hesitated for a moment and whispered a brief rumor about Yun Gege.

It turned out that this Yun Ge Ge is not very old but is very intentional. In addition, he has lost his Mama since childhood, and his mother and sister-in-law are spoiled and developed a lawless personality. When he gets older, he has an affair with his mother and brother. Last month, the two elope and are chased back from Fangshan by people from the general's mansion.

The bold breasted brother was killed by Yongquan on the spot. Yun Gege was captured and returned to his house, waiting to get married.

There were also some rumors outside, which made Yongquan and his family defended them.

Because Mingtai and Yong's family are close relatives and are familiar with the housekeeper there, they listened to these things in a vague way.

Cao Yong is not an old-fashioned person, but the world is like this, no matter how many hundred years later, men and women break up and get together. If Yun Ge Ge really married into the Cao family with this "glorious achievement", then the Cao family would become a smile for the people in the capital after dinner.

Cao Yong was still pondering, and Li was already looking at his son.

Now that Cao Yin is not in the capital, Cao Song has always been reckless in his actions. If he knew the reason, he would not know what would happen. The only one Li family could count on was Cao Yong.

"It's a good thing to know earlier. Mother doesn't have to worry too much. She hasn't made a big decision yet. When the second aunt wakes up, she will ask for details of it." Cao Yong comforted Li when he saw that Li was worried.

What else can Li do? While urging someone to boil medicine, he also had to instruct Jinghui not to be tired. Jinghui has been in a seven-month-old body and is already clumsy in movement, and is afraid of a mistake...

When they returned to Wutong Garden, Cao Yong and Chu Yu still sighed when they remembered this matter.

"I heard that I was going to book this marriage earlier, so I felt it was too hasty and afraid that something was wrong. The second wife's relatives were a matchmaker for her, so it was not easy to interfere at will." Chu Yu sighed and said.

"Aren't you not entering the door yet? There is nothing to worry about. After all, they are in the wrong and deceived. Speaking of which, the fourth brother is not old, so there is no need to rush to say hello." Cao Yong said.

"Yes, it's just that the fifth uncle has, Miss Dong is so old that she wants to handle the marriage before the end of the year." Chu Yu said.

"Xiao Si's marriage, if this Prince Yun is inappropriate, you and your mother will see if there are girls of the same age in the relative's family. Don't choose whether they are born in a dowry, as long as they are good, they will be able to do it. Even if the second wife is better, after this incident, I am afraid she will not be in the spirit of thinking about it." Cao Yong said.

"Who said no?" Chu Yu responded and said, "They are not in a hurry for the rest of the day. Let's see what the second uncle means."

Cao Song was on duty on the day from Shen Chu to Xu Chu. After handing over the shift, he had already left the palace gate and came out of the palace only at dawn the next day.

Zhao Jia had woken up because she felt angry. In just one night, her cheeks had swollen. When she saw her son, she couldn't speak even if she was "humph" in her mouth.

When Cao Song heard his wife tell him the reason, he was so angry that he could no longer help but turn around and argue with Yongquan Mansion.

Jinghui was stupid and couldn't catch up with him; Cao Song was pulled aside by Cao Song, and scolded him, but he didn't dare to go forward.

Fortunately, Cao Yong knew his character. Before going to the yamen, he went to the East Mansion to take a look, and blocked Cao Song at the door.

"Brother, how can I bear such humiliation? I'll just go there and teach him some lessons." Cao Song couldn't hide his anger and said with anger, but his feet didn't hesitate and wanted to move forward.

When Cao Yong saw this, he shouted, "Stop! You have no evidence to teach you a lesson?"

Cao Song clenched his fists, blushed, and said, "It's been a storm in the city? Can you still catch the adulterer in bed?"

"If you kill to the door like this, the other party can honestly admit it? If you make a big fuss, you will know what you don't know. We'll be embarrassed. Besides, you can't listen to the wind and rain. Xiaowu also said that Ming Tai was rejected for his marriage and had personal grudges with the general's mansion. If he deliberately slandered him, wouldn't it be a joke for you to make such an unknown fuss?" Cao Yong frowned and said.

Cao Song was stunned when he heard this and murmured: "Brother, what should I do?"

Cao Yong pondered for a moment and said, "I have already ordered two days to ask someone to carefully investigate the matters there. Whether it is Mingtai's slander or something inappropriate, I have to check it out clearly before I can say it out loud, otherwise it will become unreasonable if it makes a fuss."

This persuasion was called by someone else, and Cao Song was afraid that he would not listen to it; but when he beat the younger brother, he was the most trusted one, his irritability was a little bit gone, and he responded in a depressed manner.

"The key at the moment is to help Aunt Er. Everything else is secondary. You must know the priorities." Cao Yong gave a few more instructions, and when he heard Cao Song heard it, he came out to ride a horse to the yamen.

After entering the palace and reaching the main hall of the Interior Government, Cao Yong saw Dong Dianbang standing in the yard with his hands behind his back.

When Cao Yong saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, I'm here so early. Is there anything I can do?"

Dong Dianbang bowed and said, "Mr. Cao, the emperor has the will to come down and pay great attention to the Seventeenth Prince's illness. Master Cao, if nothing happens, should we go to the Prince's office?"

"Master Seventeen is not healing yet?" Cao Yong has not been there in the past few days. When he heard this, he couldn't help but ask.

Dong Dianbang shook his head and said, "I asked the Imperial Hospital yesterday that maybe it was about to begin autumn and make friends with the solar term, so the condition was delayed and I am still in the process of rest."

The Seventeenth Prince was "ill" before, but he just gave some colors to those who deducted the Prince's Office. He had not recovered these days, and Cao Yong was also a little worried.

After arriving at the prince's office and asking the eunuch to report, Cao Yong and Dong Dianbang went in to visit the hospital.

Compared with Cao Yong a few days ago, the seventeenth prince cleared his eyes, his cheeks flushed and his eyes were black, which made people worry.

Obviously, this "disease" was strange a few days ago, so why did it become like this?

Cao Yong was puzzled. After doing routine with Dong Dianbang, he found a ritual, stayed here and did not leave.

The seventeenth prince saw Cao Yong's doubts, waved his hand and sent everyone out of the room, and then smiled bitterly: "This time I really lifted a stone and smashed my own foot. I really suffered from it." At the end of his words, he leaned over and coughed again.

Seeing that he even coughed up tears, Cao Yong stood up and poured half a cup of tea and delivered it to the seventeenth prince.

The moment he touched his finger, Cao Yong was frightened and hurriedly reached out to explore the seventeenth prince's forehead, but it was hot.

"How come it is like this? If this continues, I'm afraid it will hurt my body?" Cao Yong said with some concern.

The seventeenth prince took two sips of tea, put down the teacup, poured it on the kang, and said weakly: "It's not just to deal with the fourteenth brother. I don't know where he saw the clues. I ran to me a few days ago. I really had no choice. I put half a plate of ice in the quilt at night, and I didn't expect it to be like this."

"What do you say in the Imperial Hospital?" Cao Yong asked, "Is there any prescription for reducing fever? You can't keep it like this."

"They only want to be immortal. What kind of prescription can be prescribed? But it's so hot that it can purify the stomach." The Seventeenth Prince touched his stomach and said with a bitter face: "I've been hungry for several times, but I can't stand it anymore. Give me a bowl of white porridge."

When Cao Yong heard this, he was really angry and funny, and said, "It can be regarded as giving Master Seventeen more memory so as to avoid making jokes about his body in the future. Since Master Seventeen came to visit him, Master Seventeen was "recovered" and he still made such a fuss!"

The seventeenth prince showed a little unwillingness on his face and said, "What can I do? I can't stand the mother and son's complacent! I'm too lazy to say anything about pretending to be in front of the Emperor Ahma, and I'm too lazy to say anything about those things that deceive the superiors and subordinates behind their backs. I don't believe it anymore. The Emperor Ahma is really blind and deaf. Can you stand their fools? Let's see when they can be proud?" At the end of his speech, he was already gritting his teeth.

When Cao Yong saw it, he sighed in his heart.

The Seventeenth Prince is open-minded and not a person who cares about it. If the Prince's meal supply alone would not have made such a fuss. Judging from this, he would still be dissatisfied with Concubine De. The reason should be his biological mother, otherwise he would not have caused such great dissatisfaction.

A few months ago, when Chu Yu was ill, Cao Yong sent someone to buy strong liquor from Shaoguozhuangzi. Except for the use of the remaining ones, Cao Yong took them back to Beijing, thinking about the future needs.

Seeing that the Seventeenth Prince was in a severe fever, he stood up and said, "I have some fever-reducing things in my house. I'll send someone to get them here. Seventeenth Master should be careful. Although he is young, he can't resist the trouble. If the disease is left, there will be no place to cry."

Seeing that Cao Yong was about to leave, the seventeenth prince quickly pulled his sleeve, prayed a little, and said, "Furuo, don't let go of the fever, can you eat something? You're starving to death."

After hearing this, Cao Yong said, "Take food to the palace? I still don't know it, but I don't know it. Master Seventeen, do you think this is a good idea? Besides, you can't eat greasy foods with high fever. Drinking more porridge is good for your health."

After hearing this, the seventeenth prince sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Since that's the case, then Furuo will go back. When you go to the yamen tomorrow, remember to bring a few pieces of jerky meat in your purse. You can't watch me so greedy."

Cao Yong nodded with a smile and said, "I know, Master Shiqi is well rested, and this wish can still satisfy Master Shiqi."

In front of the Seventeenth Prince, Cao Yong didn't say much; but after leaving the Prince's Office, he restrained the smile on his face.

Concubine De did not have the name of the queen, but she already had the reality of the queen.

No matter which dynasty or dynasty, the harem and the previous dynasty are inseparable.

Just talk about all officials in the capital, who don’t have more eyes or ears, pay attention to the harem.

The 14th Prince works part-time at the Ministry of Revenue and does not take up the office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but because Concubine De is in charge of the palace affairs, he has repeatedly intervened in the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Even among the court officials, many people began to pay attention to this very favored Fourteenth Prince.

The war in the northwest is stalemate, and the day when the 14th Prince leads his troops to fight is probably not far away.
