Chapter 785 How can we continue to cooperate? (2 more)
In the end, due to Li Zihan's gag, Shen Tianshu finally failed to return the ring finger to Li Zi'an, and took it back to the room like a hot potato. He didn't know what to do with it. He felt confused when he looked at it, so he just threw a few things away. He handed them all to Gao Xiuer and said, "Put them all away and we'll talk about it when we get back."
Except for this unexpected thumb ring, the entire Chinese Valentine's Day night was quite enjoyable.
After waking up, it was almost time to prepare to head back to the city.
When everyone packed up their things and got on the carriage to leave, the uncle whose child had been bitten by a poisonous spider brought his daughter to see her off and made sure that her daughter kowtowed to Shen Tianshu to express his thanks.
Although it had just been more than a day, the little girl was no longer seriously ill. The swelling caused by the poisoning had all gone away, revealing her pretty and cute little face again.
People around me who had seen the tragic situation of a child being poisoned before also praised her. Mrs. Tong's medical skills were really superb. She had already recovered so well in just over a day.
The old man who had a mouth sore before and the young couple who were pregnant also packed their things at this time. Accompanied by their family members, they drove the carriage and planned to return to Wuchang Mansion with Li Zian's motorcade.
This way you will be safer along the way, and you don't have to worry about colliding with other people's cars.
Secondly, they didn't even know where Mrs. Tong's medical clinic was. Instead of asking around when they got to the city, they might as well just follow her back to the city.
The old woman who bought the rebirth medicine was also locked in a carriage alone and escorted back to the city.
Shen Tianshu also asked Li Zian how he planned to handle this matter.
Li Zian just remembered Han Guangtao's previous request for help, and said with a smile: "Isn't Governor Qian busy recently? His men are all elite soldiers brought from the capital, and this happens to be within his scope of authority.
"When I get back, I'll give him the errand directly. If I can find out who Chou Yinmao is, I'll give him a chance to make a contribution. Maybe he'll have to thank me!"
Shen Tianshu always felt that there was something fishy about what he said, but thinking that it must be a struggle in the officialdom of the court, she didn't ask any more questions.
After all, for her, the most important thing is to catch the person behind the scenes as soon as possible to prevent more innocent people from suffering.
As for whether Qian Poxin or Shen Zhonglei handled this case, she actually didn't care.
Returning to Wuchang Mansion, Shen Tianshu first went to the hospital to settle down the two families, and then followed Li Zian back to Prince Rui's Mansion. After lunch, he changed back into Shen Tianshu's clothes before taking the car home.
After Li Zian sent Shen Tianshu away, he sent someone to invite Liu Xukun and posted a message asking Qian Poxin to come to the government to discuss matters.
Liu Xukun came faster. He didn't know what Li Zian wanted to do with him, so he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
He himself didn't know why, but in the past year or so, he always felt that the way Li Zian looked at him was different from before.
But if he had to say there was something wrong, he had no evidence.
After all, Princess Fengrong has always trusted him.
Sometimes he also feels that he is too suspicious.
However, this time Princess Fengrong did not take him with her when she went out for summer vacation. Although the reason was that Lu Ting would be fine with her, it still made him feel a little more uneasy, as he was already feeling guilty.
Liu Xukun was thinking in his mind as he was led to the flower hall.
Li Zian was sitting at the top of the table drinking tea. When he saw him come in and put down the tea cup, he stood up and said hello: "Yu Liu is here. Let's sit down and have a sip of tea first. We'll talk together when Governor Qian arrives."
"Governor Qian?" Liu Xukun's heart thumped and he almost lost his expression, thinking that Li Zian would find out about his secret meeting with Qian Poxin so soon.
But at the last moment, he managed to hold on, bowed to Li Zian and took a seat at the bottom.
While the maid was serving tea, he quickly regained his composure, and then asked in a leisurely manner: "Is it possible that Mr. Qian is feeling unwell?"
"No, you will know later." Li Zian did not explain clearly and directly changed the subject, "This is the new tea I bought this time when I went to Tian'en Temple. Although it is not famous, it is just a wild tea on the mountain behind the temple.
Tea, maybe because I have been influenced by the scriptures in the temple, I think it tastes very pure and elegant, a bit Zen-like, so I bought some specially for Dr. Liu to try."
Liu Xukun had no intention of tasting the tea at this time. He picked it up, held it aside for a long time, and took a sip. Without tasting the taste, he nodded casually and said: "As expected, as the prince said, it has a unique flavor and is not inferior to many famous teas!"
So the two of them sat facing each other and sipping tea without saying a word. After waiting for a long time, someone finally came in and announced: "Your Majesty, Lord Qian has arrived."
After hearing this, Li Zian stood up and walked to the door to greet him: "Master Qian, please come this way."
"Your Majesty, you are so polite!" Qian Poxin smiled and exchanged greetings as he followed Li Zian into the flower hall. When he looked up and saw Liu Xukun standing aside, his body stiffened for a moment.
But after he saw Liu Xukun's expression clearly, he quickly calmed down and continued walking in: "I wonder who this is?"
"This is Liu Xukun, Imperial Physician Liu. When the emperor heard that my grandmother was in poor health, he specially selected Imperial Physician Liu from the Imperial Hospital to take care of my grandmother."
"It turns out to be Dr. Liu!" Qian Poxin immediately smiled, stepped forward and patted Liu Xukun on the shoulder and said, "I have heard about Dr. Liu for a long time, and I finally saw him today."
"Master Qian is too polite." Liu Xukun also acted with him.
Li Zian sat back down and asked the two of them to take their seats before sighing and saying, "Actually, the reason why I invited you two here today is because on Chinese Valentine's Day, I discovered something that shocked me very much."
Qian Poxin and Liu Xukun, who had been a little relaxed just now, became nervous when they heard this.
It's just that Qian Poxin has been in official circles for many years, so even if he was nervous, he didn't show it.
Liu Xukun didn't have such good concentration. The hand holding the tea cup was trembling slightly. In order not to reveal his secret, he hurriedly tried to put the tea cup back on the table.
But his hand shook and he couldn't keep it steady, and the tea and tea leaves immediately spilled all over the table.
"Yi Liu, what's wrong? Isn't it hot?" Li Zian asked.
"My lord, I'm so sorry. I was so focused on listening to you that my hand slipped and I couldn't keep it steady." Liu Xukun stood up and apologized while trying to clean up the messy table.
"As long as it's not permed, don't worry about it." Li Zian said, "Here, please clean it up quickly."
Qian Poxin couldn't help but sigh. This Liu Xukun may have good medical skills, but his psychological quality is really bad.
Li Zian didn't say anything yet, but he was so frightened. How could we continue to cooperate in the future?
