Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan came up with an idea and asked Mrs. Ma to trick Lu Zhan into Ma's house alone, destroy the secret records of the Baiyi clan in front of Lu Zhan, and use this to bite back Lu Zhan and sue Lu
The war destroyed his Ma family heirloom...
Lu Zhan wanted to say something, but Mrs. Ma cried so miserably in front of the emperor that she fainted from crying several times.
There is no secret record of the Baiyi Clan, Lu Zhan did not complete the task very well, and Emperor Taichang Zhu Changluo did not get any formula for a panacea to strengthen the body.
The formula was gone, but the emperor was still thinking about it. In desperation, Lu Zhan could only recommend Cui Wensheng.
Cui Wensheng is a well-known medical officer at home and abroad. His medical skills are very good. All the people who have been treated by Dr. Cui have been cured so far.
Lu Zhan and Cui Wensheng are good friends. If Lu Zhan is in trouble, Cui Wensheng, as a good friend, will naturally help him.
After receiving the request from his friend, Cui Wensheng agreed without thinking.
It also happened that Emperor Taichang Zhu Changluo suffered from a serious illness, so Cui Wensheng became the emperor's personal physician.
...
In the evening, Mrs. Ma happily returned to Ma's house with her eyes swollen from crying. As soon as she entered the house, Mrs. Ma burst out laughing.
Many people in the family saw it inexplicably. Only Ma Xiaoquan and the housekeeper Ma Tong knew why Mrs. Ma was so happy.
"Grandma... don't be angry, it's not good for your health." Li Qinghan thought that Mrs. Ma was in a worse mood after meeting the emperor, so he stepped forward to comfort her gently.
Mrs. Ma shook her head, smiled and took Li Qinghan's hand and said: "Qinghan, hurry up, prepare some food for grandma, grandma is hungry."
"Ah? Oh," Li Qinghan was extremely surprised, but he still went to the kitchen and personally prepared food for Mrs. Ma.
Mrs. Ma stepped forward, patted Ma Xiaoquan on the shoulder, and looked at each other. This look was telling Ma Xiaoquan that the matter had been settled.
...
On the tenth day of August in the forty-eighth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1620), Emperor Taichang fell completely ill.
The emperor fell ill, and everyone in the government and the public became busy.
Ma Tong originally wanted to drag the Wei Dynasty to find Wei Jinzhong, but because the emperor was so ill, the Wei Dynasty did not see him, so the matter was delayed. In desperation, Ma Tong had no choice but to go back to Ma's house and tell the news about the emperor's illness.
Ma Xiaoquan and Mrs. Ma.
Mrs. Ma was very puzzled when she heard that the emperor was ill. When she met with the emperor yesterday, he seemed to be fine. Why did he suddenly become ill today?
"Oh, what can we do? Tomorrow is the Longevity Festival, and the Emperor's dragon body is not in good health, is it..." Mrs. Ma said helplessly.
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "Grandma... we are still preparing for what we should prepare. We cannot stop just because the emperor is ill."
Mrs. Ma nodded and hummed.
Ma Xiaoquan asked Ma Tong: "Uncle Tong, you were in the palace...how did you hear about the emperor's condition?"
Ma Tong sighed: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, on the one hand, he has been diligent in government affairs, but on the other hand, because of the eight beauties given to him by Concubine Zheng, the emperor's body has been hollowed out..."
Mrs. Ma heard this and interrupted: "Man, the word "sex" has a knife on it."
Ma Xiaoquan coughed twice and continued to ask: "In that case, why does the emperor want those eight beauties?"
Li Qinghan interjected: "It's not all you stinky men. You are all so horny that you can't walk when you see a woman..."
Ma Xiaoquan blushed and said helplessly: "Sister-in-law, I, Ma Xiaoquan, don't have a wife yet. Why do you keep running against me?"
Li Qinghan rolled his eyes at Ma Xiaoquan and said nothing.
Mrs. Ma said: "Quan'er, did you notice something?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said: "The emperor ascended the throne this year. According to the imperial regulations, next year will officially be the first year of Taichang. Now that the emperor is singing so much every night, I am afraid something unexpected will happen..."
"Ah!" Before Ma Xiaoquan finished speaking, everyone in the Ma family looked at him in surprise. You know, anyone who casually talks about the emperor's safety will be beheaded if found out.
Mrs. Ma quickly ordered her servants to close the doors and windows, and sent someone to check outside the door to make sure there was nothing unusual, and then she felt relieved.
"Quan'er, you scared grandma to death. If you say that, you will be beheaded."
Ma Xiaoquan scratched his scalp with an apology on his face: "I'm sorry, grandma, I'll pay attention next time..."
Li Qinghan snorted and rolled his eyes at Ma Xiaoquan.
Mrs. Ma shook her head and said, "Quan'er, what you just said is true?"
Ma Xiaoquan wanted to nod and say yes, but considering his identity and the purpose of his mission to the end of Ming Dynasty, Ma Xiaoquan shook his head again: "I just said this casually, don't you all say, if a man has too much of that
, will be exhausted and people will die..."
As soon as Ma Xiaoquan said the words, Li Qinghan's pretty face turned red instantly: "Ma Xiaoquan... you... you are so shameless."
Ma Xiaoquan stared at Li Qinghan with wide eyes: "Sister-in-law, isn't it? Originally, it is common for people to die due to exhaustion. Look at the many emperors in the previous dynasty, aren't they all like this?"
"You!" Li Qinghan gritted his teeth and wished he could slap Ma Xiaoquan out.
"Quan'er, okay, don't mess with Qinghan!" Mrs. Ma advised.
Ma Xiaoquan stuck out his tongue, blinked at Li Qinghan, and Li Qinghan stamped his feet in anger.
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, but then his expression suddenly turned serious, and he asked Mrs. Ma: "Grandma, there is one thing...does my Ma family know Cui Wensheng?"
Mrs. Ma nodded: "Mrs. Cui has excellent medical ethics and has a good relationship with our Ma family!"
When Ma Xiaoquan heard this, he secretly thought something bad and said quickly: "In the past month, whenever Doctor Cui comes to my house in person or sends people to my house, he will always stay behind closed doors!"
Ma Xiaoquan's words were categorical, and in an instant, his expression became determined.
Mrs. Ma didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, she knew Ma Xiaoquan's true identity, but it was Li Qinghan. Because she didn't know Ma Xiaoquan's identity, at this moment, she became confused...and excited...
....Looking at Ma Xiaoquan, Li Qinghan's eyes gradually blurred. Why can't he see such a man clearly after his hair became shorter?
At this moment, Li Qinghan's heart moved uncontrollably again...
