Li Linfu felt extremely disgusted when he saw the old man talking in a lengthy and confusing manner, falling to the ground before finishing a sentence.
He scolded directly: "Guo Jing, as the chief imperial physician, you speak in a slimy manner. Are you trying to fool me, Li Linfu, or are you just a mess in your head? Can you afford the punishment for delaying my son's condition?"
"
Guo Jing kept apologizing and said: "I know that I am guilty, but I am incompetent. Mr. Li, the second young master is seriously ill. All the methods in the Imperial Hospital have been exhausted. Manpower is no longer available. Medicine can cure him. Mr. Li, I can't bear the pain."
ah?"
Li Linfu stood up in shock and shouted hoarsely: "You said my jaw is hopeless? Say it again?"
Guo Jing stood up tremblingly and said: "The kidney water is rushing out, the essence and blood are depleted, and there is no way to save the day, Mr. Li?"
Li Linfu was so angry that he kicked Guo Jing in the abdomen. The poor chief physician was kicked over and rolled around, unable to get up.
"Drag him out," Li Linfu shouted.
Two guards immediately came in and dragged Guo Jing out. Another imperial doctor had already caught him at the door, carried him to the back, and rescued him.
Li Linfu only felt dizzy, and the world was spinning in front of his eyes. Li Wen and Wang Hu hugged each other and shouted loudly. For a moment, the Prime Minister's Mansion was in chaos.
The imperial doctor came over, pinched the person, and gave him water. After struggling for a while, Li Linfu finally woke up.
The first thing I said when I woke up was: "How is Jia'er? Tell me quickly?"
Li Wen and Wang Fei lowered their heads with depressed expressions on their faces, not daring to look at Li Linfu at all.
Li Linfu sighed and said, "If my jaw is broken, what's the point of living? I'll kill me."
Not to mention Li Linfu, even the groups of wives, concubines, and maids in the backyard were heartbroken when they saw this situation. They wanted to cry but did not dare to cry. They were all suppressed until their faces turned red.
Even the men and women who were usually at odds with Li Jaw and complained, now let go of their resentment and let their tears flow freely like a cat crying over a mouse.
Decoctions, pills, acupuncture, massage, all the tricks available to the imperial doctors were used, but Li Jiao basically had no reaction at all.
Waiting for death is more like an unpredictable technical job!
Seeing that it was almost dawn, a guard from the Prime Minister's Mansion hurried in from outside and winked at Li Wen. Li Wen saw that Li Linfu had his eyes closed and hurriedly went out quietly.
The two of them muttered a few words in the corridor, and Li Linfu shouted in a deep voice: "Come in and tell me if you have anything to say, what are you doing sneakily?"
The two people hurriedly came in, and the guard handed over his hands and said: "Sir, our guards at the Prime Minister's Office, in collaboration with the Criminal Department, conducted overnight investigations and got a new situation. I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
Li Linfu opened his tired eyes and said calmly: "If there is anything else that should not be mentioned, please tell me quickly."
The guard glanced at Li Wen, raised his hands and said, "Sir, after the assassination last night, the guard camp immediately blocked Chang'an Avenue and all nearby streets for interception and interrogation."
Li Linfu shouted: "Tell me the important point."
The guard said: "Yes, sir, during the interrogation, I found a person. He came from Chang'an Street, passed through Zhuque Street, and then went to Chengtianmen Hengjie No. 5. This person is very suspicious."
"If there was such a thing, why wasn't he detained at that time? Who is he? Why haven't you arrested him yet and brought him to see me?" Li Linfu sat up straight in surprise and stared at the guard with hateful eyes. The guard was so frightened that he was trembling all over.
The guard hurriedly said: "Sir, no one dares to stop this person, let alone detain him."
Li Linfu shouted: "Bullshit, even if I am the King of Heaven and I am against me, Li Linfu, I still want to see him. Tell me quickly, who is he?"
The guard said in embarrassment: "It was a prince, the deputy general of the escort battalion Zuo Li, who allowed the passage, and he also used General Zuo's flag to pass along the way?"
"Prince? Guarding camp Zuoli?" Li Linfu's face changed strangely, and he sat down with a deep thought.
"Which prince?" Li Linfu asked.
"It's the twenty-first prince, his name is Li Mu. According to the time analysis, he happened to pass by the scene of the crime when the crime occurred." The guard said.
"The twenty-first prince, Li Mu? It's him again? Such a coincidence? Could it be that this was an assassination premeditated by the escort battalion, with the prince participating?" Li Linfu said to himself, taking a breath of cold air.
If Li Mu really participated in the assassination, and the guard camp let Li Mu go, what does it mean?
Li Linfu felt fear. Who was instigating behind the prince and the guard camp? Who else had this power except the one who was above them?
Does the emperor want to touch me? How is it possible using this method?
Or is it Prince Li Heng? He knows that I dote on Jia'er, so he attacks my weak points, and then takes advantage of my confusion to bring me down?
Li Linfu suddenly felt that this assassination case was complicated and mysterious, and contained countless dangers.
Li Linfu thought calmly for a while and said: "This matter is strictly confidential. However, we must immediately increase the surveillance of the crown prince and the twenty-first prince. If there is any abnormality, report back immediately. Don't act rashly."
"Yes." The guard agreed and hurriedly retreated.
Li Wen and Wang He were also shocked when they heard this, but they didn't dare to say anything. After the guards left, Wang He asked nervously: "En Xiang, this matter is really unusual. What good plan does En Xiang have to deal with it?"
Li Linfu said: "A good strategy? If it is really the superior person who wants to defeat me, any strategy will be in vain. I can only stick my head out and send it to him. I will go to court later and I will ask him personally."
Wang Fei said worriedly: "What if it's not the case? Enxiang also planned his advance and retreat in advance."
Li Linfu said: "If not, then this time I will be confident and have an explanation with the emperor. If someone wants to kill my son, I will kill his whole family."
Wang Fei was speechless, and Li Wen did not dare to interrupt. They all stood in a daze, waiting for Li Linfu's order.
Li Linfu stared at the darkness outside the window, was silent for a while, and said: "Li Wen, Jia'er's life and death will be left to you. Ji Wen, Luo Xishuang and the two of them, if they don't find the miracle doctor, they will immediately offer a large reward to anyone who can save Jia'er."
, give him whatever he wants."
Li Wen agreed and went out. Li Linfu said to Wang Zhi: "Let's go, you and I go to the Moon Court, and we will carefully plan our advance and retreat."
The undercurrent in the Prime Minister's Mansion overnight had no impact on Li Mu.
Li Mu was in the study room in the front yard, concentrating on drawing. More than an hour later, Zhou Qiang and Xu Renjie came over. Li Mu asked about the preparations for the construction supervisor. The two said that everything was ready and all they needed was east wind.
Li Mu handed the drawings to the two of them and asked them to meet up with He Biao as soon as possible, and then go to see Master Kang to properly handle the matters agreed upon yesterday. By the way, he handed over the carriage and horse to the two of them.
The two drove the carriage and left quickly. Li Mu was in a happy mood and strolled around the backyard for a while. Approaching the wall at the back, Li Mu found three salt wells.
The salt wells were all covered with wooden covers. Li Mu opened the covers and checked, and found that the salt wells were fifty or sixty centimeters in diameter and were bottomless.
Li Mu estimated that this was specially used to observe the hydrology of salt wells. Now that the salt wells have dried up, the value of observation has naturally been lost.
Li Mu turned back, approached the window where Aunt Gongsun was resting, and listened for a while to what was going on inside.
Hearing nothing, Li Mu couldn't help but be a little disappointed. This woman was sleeping and there was no sound at all?
It is said that women who sleep particularly quietly like to think wildly, similar to men who are bored.
Aunt Gongsun is almost thirty. She has never married a man. She seems quiet, but she must be in a state of turmoil inside. She is very irritable, right?
Li Mu had all kinds of bad thoughts, and then he couldn't help but laugh.
Beautiful leftover woman, who will save you?
Li Mu snickered, turned around, and bumped into a woman's arms.
Li Mu screamed in fright.
Li Mu didn't even feel when Fu Xianyue stood behind him.
Fu Xianyue's face turned red and she hurriedly backed away, muttering in a low voice: "Your Highness, what are you looking at? You are smiling. It's so strange. No one has entered this room for a long time."
Li Mu scratched his head in embarrassment and blurted out the lie immediately: "Is it weird? Oh, I just heard that there seemed to be mice fighting inside, so I listened for a while out of curiosity."
"Ah, rat, you're scared to death. Come on, come on," Fu Xianyue said in a panic, and involuntarily reached out and gave Li Mu a hand.
The two of them took a few steps forward before Fu Xianyue realized what was happening. He hurriedly let go, lowered his head, and trotted to the front yard.
Li Mu coughed loudly twice, as if he was reminding Aunt Gongsun, and seemed to be apologizing to Aunt Gongsun. He said something rude and said that there were rats fighting in the house. Aunt Gongsun must have heard it, and she didn't know how angry she was.
