Chapter 23 Selfishness
After Li Hao left the palace, he was about to get on the horse when Wei Ruili pulled the reins.
"Thank you for fighting with me. If you hadn't bid higher than me, then the blame of the liar would have fallen on me."
After saying this, Wei Ruili laughed loudly.
A few days ago, their troops found the old man almost at the same time. Unfortunately, the people sent by Wei Ruili didn't have much money.
Li Hao, on the other hand, went to find the miracle doctor himself. Firstly, he brought a lot of money with him, and secondly, he showed his sincerity by doing it himself.
Therefore, the old man was moved by Li Hao's sincerity and money, so he went to Beijing with him.
Wei Ruili didn't expect to get such good news today.
Originally, he came to the palace gate to take the opportunity to get close to the miracle doctor. If his bid was higher than Li Hao's, and the miracle doctor agreed to work with him, then the credit would be his.
Unexpectedly, Li Hao and the miracle doctor had already entered the palace.
Waiting and waiting like this, he actually saw the scene of the "miraculous doctor" being dragged away by the imperial guards.
After repeated questioning, Wei Ruili realized that the miracle doctor was fake.
He suddenly felt like he was being saved by Li Hao.
Li Hao slapped away Wei Ruili's hand holding the reins and lowered his voice: "You are interested in my fourth sister, but on the other hand, you are thinking about the position of the ninth princess's consort. What are your intentions?"
"Your fourth sister is just a concubine, do you think I can fall in love with her?" Wei Ruili threw off the reins and smiled contemptuously, "Today, your success in recommending the miracle doctor has become a thing. Do you think others will believe you based on your words?
Or do you believe me?"
"You!" Li Hao was so angry that the reins he held trembled.
Now that he has lost money, he still cannot find a true miracle doctor, and he has even lost trust in front of the Tian family.
Like Wei Ruili, there are many children from aristocratic families who have half-hearted intentions to cut off the evil spirits. At this moment, they are all watching Li Hao's joke.
Li Hao climbed onto his horse in despair, and left the palace gate in a daze amid the roars of laughter from everyone.
When he returned to Li Mansion, Feng asked excitedly: "Ah Hao, is it done?"
If her son can become a princess, she will be the princess's mother-in-law. She will be able to hold her head high among the noble ladies in Beijing circles.
The status of a stepmother, especially a stepmother who is supported by a concubine, is unfair to a certain extent. Therefore, Mrs. Feng very much hopes that both of her children will get a good marriage.
Seeing his mother's excited expression, Li Hao lowered his head and said, "Mom, that miracle doctor is fake."
"Fake?" Feng's voice suddenly rose, "Why is it fake?"
"My son was also deceived by him!" Li Hao took out his wallet and turned it over.
There was nothing in the wallet, not even half a banknote.
Feng took the purse and said, "The ten thousand taels of silver that my mother gave you are just gone?"
"Mom, many people were clamoring to ask the old man to come with them. My son offered the highest price, so he followed me. I didn't expect that he was a fake." Li Hao couldn't figure it out. "The man talked about medical science.
Come on, let’s be honest, my son was also deceived!”
Holding the empty purse, Feng slumped down on the chair: "That's my mother's private money for twenty years!"
Li Hao stared angrily: "Mother, in the Ninth Princess's chamber today, the emperor and the imperial doctors originally believed that the man was a miracle doctor, but as soon as the prince and fifth sister arrived, the limelight changed."
Feng's slender eyebrows knitted together: "How did it change?"
"First, the prince suspected that the miracle doctor was a fake, and then the fifth sister exposed it on the spot. The old man was so frightened that the secret was revealed." Li Hao became angrier as he spoke, "If the prince and the fifth sister had not said that the miracle doctor was a fake, his son's position as consort would have
Just got it!”
In his opinion, the entire Taiyuan Hospital did not take a good look at the ninth princess's leg disease. Even if he found a miracle doctor, the result would still be the same.
What's more, the emperor said before that those who are successful in seeking medical treatment can be honored as princesses.
He did not say that the miracle doctor must cure the ninth princess's leg disease. Even if the miracle doctor was fake, the princess's leg disease could not be cured. After he successfully cured the princess, he later said that the princess's leg disease was even beyond the reach of the miracle doctor.
In this way, all problems will be solved.
At that time, he already had the position and wealth of his consort.
But now, it failed!
Li Hao added: "Mom, my son thinks that the prince's claim that the miracle doctor is false is probably because he thinks that the miracle doctor cannot cure his eye disease. And the fifth sister's claim that the miracle doctor is false, why does the son think it is against his son?"
"Why, that little hoof dares to go against you?"
"At that time, the son repeatedly hinted to the fifth sister, asking the fifth sister not to say anything. Unexpectedly, she not only refused to listen, but also pulled off the old man's fake beard, which exposed the secret."
The mother and son discussed it for a long time, and when Li Zongfa came back, the family of three started talking again.
Finally, we came to the conclusion that it was Li Yuyan who ruined Li Hao's good deeds.
Li Zongfa slapped the table: "Where is that rip-off thing now?"
"Dad, she left the palace before me." Li Hao obediently said.
He broke the money and couldn't return it to the princess, and he broke his trust with the Tian family. To prevent his parents from blaming him, he put all the blame on Li Yuyan to vent his anger.
When the three people rushed to Qingyuju angrily, Li Yuyan was playing chess against himself with the chess record.
She didn't even raise her head when she heard the footsteps of the three people.
Li Zongfa went over and overturned the chessboard: "You eat everything inside and outside. Today in the palace, it's fine if you don't speak for your second brother, but you actually..."
During the questioning, Li Zongfa choked up, as if nothing he said was right.
Li Yuyan slowly raised her head, looked at the person who came indifferently, and said coldly: "The miracle doctor is fake. As a citizen of Tiansheng, don't you have the obligation to expose it?"
Feng broke her usual friendly face and shouted: "Ah Hao is your second brother. If you expose the identity of the miracle doctor, wouldn't it push your second brother into a place of eternal destruction? You have no conscience, I think I am not treating you lightly.
I didn’t expect you to hate me so much. I’m not your biological mother, but Ah Hao is your second brother!”
Li Hao took the opportunity to say: "Yes, Fifth Sister, I explicitly hinted you many times at that time, but you insisted on going your own way. Now, I can no longer be the princess's consort, what do you think should be done?"
Li Yuyan shook her head gently. The three people in front of her had really strange views, and their brain circuits were really selfish.
"Just think about it, if the second brother successfully marries the princess, and then someone exposes the miracle doctor as a fake, will our Li family be punished? Confiscating the house is a minor offense." Li Yuyan played with the chess pieces in his hand and said calmly.
, "My father has been an official in the court for many years. Isn't it necessary for his daughter to teach him this?"
Hearing this, Li Zong broke into a cold sweat, and his face kept changing from white to green.
When Mrs. Feng thought that the money she had accumulated for many years was gone, she still shouted like a shrew: "You just can't stand your second brother, you..."
Before the complete curse was uttered, the housekeeper hurriedly came to report: "My lord and madam, someone from the palace has come with the emperor's decree!"
The emperor's oral edict was like an imperial edict, and everyone hurried to the front yard.
When they arrived, Madam Li, Li Manting, Li Lu, Mr. Hu, and the second family and four members of their family were all there.
The chamberlain announced: "Your Majesty has spoken, Miss Li Wu is smart, alert, and extremely talented. I am very pleased to have a Crown Princess like her!"
