Chapter four hundred and twentieth eight causes
Cui Teng suffered not much, but was frightened a lot. After returning home, he couldn't get up for several days. Everyone said that he was his filial son and his father was seriously injured and he had to empathize with him. · Chinese· Novel.
The servant next to Cui Teng had a different opinion, thinking that the master was actually missing Zhang Qinyan, and in addition, he was frightened for a while, which made him feel dazed.
My mother came to see him, and she couldn't help with anything except sighing. She is now the real hostess of Cui's mansion, but she is even more at a loss than before. "In two days, I will give Laojun a funeral, and the imperial doctor said that your father still can't get up. You are the Changsun, and Laojun likes you so much..."
"Mother, I will get better." Cui Teng in turn had to comfort his mother, "It's really not possible. If you let me get me up, I will do my best to Laojun and I can't let outsiders laugh at our Cui family."
The son was sick and Cui's mother felt very distressed. The imperial doctor said that Cui Teng had a heart disease and taking medicine was just an auxiliary, and someone had to prescribe it. Cui's mother had no choice but to ask for help from others.
The emperor and the queen both sent people to visit him. Zhang Youcai was the emperor's confidant. His arrival made Cui Teng excited for a while, but it was only a while. As soon as the person left, he became weak again.
Cui Teng's many friends have been here, either flattering, funny, generous, or chatting together, but the effect is not obvious.
When only friends talked about the newly famous beauties in Beijing, Cui Teng's eyes lit up and sat up for a while. He wanted to get out of bed and dress, and went to look for flowers and willows together.
But as soon as he thought of Zhang Qinyan, all his ambitions were instantly gone. He could not stand Qin now, and could not listen to the words "Zhang" and "Yan". Seeing the eunuch Zhang Youcai, he couldn't help but shed two tears, which scared Zhang Youcai.
As the New Year approaches, other people's family is filled with joy, and the Cui Mansion is still shrouded in sorrow.
Finally, the Houfu Pingen came up with an idea: "If you want to persuade people, a famous doctor may not be useful. Your home is also dark under the light. You have to find a smart person to make sense."
She recommended Tokai.
Cui's mother wrote a letter, and Mrs. Ping'en-hou went to invite her three times in person, and King Donghai finally reluctantly agreed. Laojun was the grandmother of King Donghai and had always favored him when he was a child. King Donghai came to Cui's mansion in the name of helping mourning.
Cui Teng was lying on the bed and humming, as if he was breathing poorly, and as if he was singing a small song. However, he was seriously out of tune and no one could understand.
Donghai King couldn't understand either, so he bowed to the bed as soon as he entered the house and said, "Congratulations, Cui Er."
Cui Teng looked up slightly at the visitor and continued to hum. After a while, when he saw that King Donghai would not say anything, he was a little anxious and signaled the servant to help him up. He leaned against the folded bedding next to him and asked: "The Cui family is unfavorable, and there are many unlucky things. I am so sick again, why are you happy?"
King Donghai, who was looking around in the room, walked to the bed and smiled and said, "You are so sick that you haven't died, aren't you worth celebrating?"
Cui Teng glared and lifted the quilt covered with his body, "Tonghai King, are you here to ask for a fight? Who invited you? I will clean up with you."
Donghai Wang nodded, "As expected, I guess you were pretending to be sick and let me cheat the truth in one go."
Cui Teng was so angry that he almost fainted. He pushed the servant away and really stood up. But he was in bed for too long, his body was weak and he got up too hard, and he felt dizzy in his mind. When he understood that when he came over, he had already lie down again, and there was still a smile on Donghai King standing in front of him.
"Why are you still here?"
King Donghai said to his servant: "Go out, let us brothers chat for a while."
The servant didn't dare to leave, and Donghai King said, "Cui Er, do you dare to talk to me alone?"
"Get out!" Cui Teng shouted angrily, not knowing that it was the response. The servant consciously accepted it and hurried out.
"Come on, what do you want to say? I'm laughing at me or provoking me? Tell me out, I can stand it." Cui Teng said with his neck straight, his expression indeed much better than usual.
But Tokai Neptune put away his smile, "I know why you can't afford to stay in bed, and you also know that it's stupid for you to do this."
"You know what's the matter!" Cui Teng couldn't help but swear, "So what if you know? You can't be a father if you are a son..."
King Donghai shook his head seriously, "I am your cousin. We have lived together since we were young. If you can't get up, it has nothing to do with your uncle."
Cui Teng's face turned red, "I forgot that you grew up in the Cui family. That's right, I couldn't get up for a woman, why? Alas, the world is so beautiful, I'll be gone, I still don't understand why she can be cruel? What do you want with me? Why do you still need to help the assassin?"
Cui Teng scratched his head, his face full of confusion.
But King Donghai thought this was a simple question, "She is from the Jianghu area and must have owed a favor in her early years, so she could only pay it back with her life."
"Tell me, I can afford to have a few lives, as long as she is fine."
Tokai Neptune shook his head again.
"Don't you believe me? Tell you, besides your family, I don't care about other people's lives. Oh, why is no one taking your life? How great is it to exchange you for Zhang Qinyan."
Donghai King laughed, then shook his head, "No, you have nothing to do with Zhang Qinyan."
Cui Teng was really confused, "What are you talking nonsense? Am I better understand yourself than you?"
"The authorities are confused." Tokai said disapprovingly, turning around and walking away, picking up the small object on the table, looking at it and putting it down.
Cui Teng was still waiting and said angrily: "When did you develop this problem? Don't say anything."
King Tokai returned to his bed, "I'll ask you something first, you can answer truthfully, and then I'll tell you why you're fascinated."
"I don't guarantee to tell the truth to you, but you can ask."
"Why did Your Majesty let the Cui family go?"
"Because the Cui family is innocent." Cui Teng said immediately.
"Sure enough, innocent?"
Cui Teng hesitated for a moment, "What the hell do you want to say?"
"There are no outsiders here. Let's say in private that Your Majesty has always been wary of his uncle's command of the Southern Army. Is that right?"
Cui Teng didn't say anything or made any expression. If he wanted to be wary, he was very careful of Donghai King. He almost forgot his weakness. He sat on the bed for a long time but didn't lie down.
"Using this opportunity, Your Majesty can take back the military power in a legitimate way, but Your Majesty did not do so. His Majesty wrote three letters to beg for bones, but His Majesty retreated. This is really trying to keep his uncle, not ordinary perfunctory. Why did Your Majesty suddenly change his attitude?"
"Because my sister, she is the queen and her Majesty is a couple in distress."
"Your words are only half true. My cousin and Your Majesty are in love. However, after years of marriage, the first pregnant person in the palace is not the queen."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Cui Teng became confused again.
Donghai King smiled and said, "Idiot, I'm talking about you. Your Majesty let the Cui family go, and it's not the uncle or the queen who comforted him. The most important reason is you."
"Me?" Cui Teng thought for a while, "I don't have that much face."
"Think about it again, why did your Majesty keep chanting your name when he was awake?"
"Your Majesty later told me that when he was assassinated, he was wondering who taught my nephew's strategy of suppressing bandits. He never forgot when he was unconscious, so he called my name when he woke up. I said it was Yan Pengshi. He used to live in my house, but His Majesty chose a servant of Yan Pengshi. I don't understand why."
"So that's it, but no matter what, His Majesty is the first to think of you. It's not someone else, right?"
"This is the fact, and shortly after I entered the palace, Your Majesty specially sent Meng E to tell me the truth, saying that Your Majesty was pretending to be confused at that time, so as not to be too scared... Huh? Why did I say this to you? You kid are still so sinister, do you deliberately mess with me?"
"You kid is still so blind and doesn't know the good people's hearts in front of you. I'm here to give me some advice and tell you: You are still Your Majesty's favorite minister, and the survival of the entire Cui family is entrusted to you."
Cui Teng was stunned for a while, and slowly, a heat arose from the bottom of his heart and gradually spread to his entire body. "Your Majesty... don't you blame me for attracting the assassin? Don't you blame me for slow rescue?"
"Your Majesty blames you, but you are forgiven."
"Really? Have you talked to Your Majesty? What did Your Majesty say?"
"I'm not a favorite minister like you, of course your Majesty wouldn't tell me these things." King Donghai pointed at his eyes, "I can see through more than you. I've always seen this. You have to admit this, right?"
Cui Teng admitted that King Donghai was smarter than himself, and asked with expectation: "Your Majesty really forgive me?"
"The assassin happened in Cui's mansion. The assassin is the person under your nose. If any emperor is, he will convict the Cui family of death, and the queen will be deposed and you will be killed on the streets, but His Majesty is magnanimous for the first time. Isn't this forgiveness?"
"yes."
"But you are so happy that you don't appreciate it. You pretend to be sick and hide from His Majesty. You are really unsatisfied."
"I'm not pretending to be sick, I'm really sick, really, cough cough..." Cui Teng coughed twice, and he felt strange. He was dizzy and swelling after saying so many things, but today he became more and more excited and had no fatigue at all.
"Your Majesty is the time when you need help the most. Even if you are a minister, you have to climb over. You are a favorite minister and you should set an example. As long as you have a breath, you have to serve Your Majesty. But you are lying on the bed and refuse to get up. Is it considered pretending to be sick?"
"Peter" is not a good word. Every time King Donghai said it, his tone was sarcastic, but Cui Teng didn't care at all. He even liked this title and murmured: "Yes, I have to see Your Majesty, go immediately, Your Majesty needs me..."
Cui Teng shouted loudly to the servants outside, that he would have to wear clothes and boots.
King Donghai said no more, turned around and left, and did not say goodbye to his uncle. He went straight back to his home. Shortly after entering the house, Mrs. Pingen Hou chased after him, smiling, "I just said that I was not wrong. When my good brother left, Cui Teng was like crazy. He could run or jump, and there was no illness at all? His family was watching him and asked him to eat something, otherwise he would immediately run to the palace to see His Majesty. Good brother, you are really... a miracle doctor."
King Donghai accepted it with a smile. He and Cui Teng often competed for favor in front of the emperor. He knew Cui Teng's thoughts best. He went over and chatted for a while, and then he got the guess.
Mrs. Ping'enhou then sighed, "But the impact of the assassination is still too great. Empress Dowager Cining distrusts her family even more, and she has lost her favor for me and has never allowed me to enter the palace."
"I've given you an idea." Tokai Neptune said calmly.
"Empress Dowager Shangguan? They are all rumors, and there is no real evidence."
"It depends on your ability." Donghai King pretended to be impatient, "Jing Yao is an old man in the palace. If he doesn't know anything, it must be because you have not gained his trust."
Mrs. Ping'en nodded, feeling that what King Donghai said was very true. (To be continued.)
