Chapter 396: There is a dark future and a bright future
In the end, the imperial doctor was spared.
"Okay, you can do it without writing a prescription. Then sit down."
She waved her hands to the maids beside her.
Immediately, a maid poured tea and water for the imperial physician.
The imperial doctor didn't dare not take it. After receiving it, he looked at the Duke of Guo, then the Ninth Prince, and then Luo Jiuli with lowered eyebrows like a hot potato.
Luo Jiuli took a sip of water.
"Drink with confidence, it's not poisonous."
The imperial doctor's heart trembled, and his little heart almost couldn't bear it.
Is the second lady handing a knife to his hand?
"Weichen, Weichen doesn't mean that."
After saying that, he hurriedly raised his head and took a sip.
It made Luo Jiuli laugh, thinking that this imperial doctor is quite interesting.
Then he turned to look at Xiao Mingxuan with a smile and whispered:
"My lord, do you think my eldest brother and the others have entered the palace?"
Xiao Mingxuan listened to her laughter and nodded softly.
"Look outside the door."
"Outside the door?"
Luo Jiuli looked up.
No sound was heard, but the door curtain was lifted.
Then, her second brother's all-too-familiar robe came into view before anyone else.
As soon as he saw his second brother returning home, Luo Jiuli felt settled.
It seems that her eldest brother and Shen Miaoqing have entered the palace.
"My lord, father."
Luo Yuanjia saluted in turn.
"Well, is the matter settled?"
The Duke's voice was loud and full of energy.
Luo Yuanjia responded.
"Yes, it's done."
"Okay, that's good."
It's done! He and his wife don't have to worry about their eldest son's relationship anymore.
As long as the emperor's decree is issued, the Duke's Mansion will have more people to import.
A happy event, a happy event that will be great the day after tomorrow.
What's more, he also knew that the lady fainted and was unconscious on purpose, so he relaxed.
On the side, Luo Jiuli looked at his father's smiling face and felt happy in his heart. He tilted his head and whispered to Xiao Mingxuan.
"Your Majesty, thank you."
If he hadn't been in charge to plan the situation, I'm afraid the drama in the Duke's Mansion would still have to go on today.
When Xiao Mingxuan heard her thank you, with a smile in his eyes, he stretched out his hand to cover their fingers with his wide sleeves, and clasped their fingers tightly with hers.
For her, he would naturally do his best.
"My lord, please see the guests off."
Luo Yuanliang and Shen Miaoqing have already entered the palace, and there is no point in detaining Li Wu and the imperial doctor.
When the Duke heard this, he said yes, got up and escorted Li Wu and the imperial doctor out of the house in person.
——
At the same time, outside the Nuan Pavilion of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the palace.
Luo Yuanliang and Shen Miaoqing have been kneeling outside for a long time.
In the Nuan Pavilion, the emperor was painting the plum blossoms beside the window happily, and Eunuch Qi was standing aside, quietly accompanying him.
It wasn't until the emperor made the last stroke that Eunuch Qi slowly stepped forward, carefully picked up the paperweight, and spoke seemingly casually.
"Your Majesty, Commander Luo has been waiting outside the door for a long time."
The emperor slowly raised his head, stretched his arms, and moved his whole body.
"Didn't she say that the Queen Mother summoned the Duke and his wife and Luo Yuanliang?"
Eunuch Qi smiled. The emperor really sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. He seemed not to interfere in everything, but he was aware of everything.
Why was the Empress Dowager summoned? Did the Duke and his wife enter the palace? The Emperor seemed to have a clear mind.
Luo Yuanliang angered Princess Wenya because of an editor's daughter on the street, and Princess Wenya was concerned about Luo Yuanliang's request for a marriage from the Queen Mother. The emperor had long known about it.
Now the emperor publicly let go of the Hu family, and the queen mother seemed to have reconciled with the emperor, but in private everyone kept making little moves.
Although Princess Wen Ya is the emperor's biological daughter, it is obviously not a wise move to hand a knife to the Queen Mother at this time.
It is impossible for the emperor to let Luo Yuanliang become the consort, nor will he allow the Queen Mother's plan to succeed.
"Replying to the Emperor, I heard that the Duke's wife suddenly fainted in the palace and became unconscious. She really cannot enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother."
"But I heard that the Queen Mother has sent an imperial doctor to the Duke's Mansion, but she hasn't returned to the palace yet."
"Um."
The emperor picked up the drawing paper casually and shook it in the air, as if he wanted to dry the ink on the drawing paper. After a while, he calmly gave instructions.
"Let them in."
"yes."
Eunuch Qi got the order and turned around and left the Nuan Pavilion.
——
The Duke's wife felt that she had just slept, and when she woke up, except for some soreness in the back of her neck, she heard good news that made her feel comfortable.
"As expected, your eldest brother and Shen Miaoqing went into the palace to beg the emperor?"
Her eldest son is a majestic soldier in the army, but he is completely dull emotionally. It is really a blessing for her to find a good wife.
Luo Jiuli smiled and nodded.
"Yes, mother is relieved now."
"Don't worry, don't worry, as long as it's not Princess Wenya, I'll be relieved, mother."
"only."
The Duke's wife held her daughter's hand.
"Tell me, will the emperor really grant a marriage to your eldest brother and Shen Miaoqing?"
Luo Jiuli nodded.
"Your Majesty said yes."
When the Duke's wife heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled widely.
"If the prince says yes, then there is a high probability that this matter will be done."
As he spoke, he waved to Aunt Xu.
"Mother Xu, hurry up, help me get out of bed and get ready."
"yes."
Aunt Xu is also happy, there is going to be a happy event in the house again.
Luo Jiuli hurriedly grabbed his mother's arm.
"Mother, what are you going to prepare?"
"Silly boy, of course I am planning to give your eldest brother the betrothal gift and exchange of gifts for him to propose marriage!"
Luo Jiuli: Isn’t it a little too early?
"Mom, you have just woken up. Can you just let the housekeeper and Aunt Xu prepare the betrothal gift?"
"How can that be possible? The dowries for you and your eldest sister, and the betrothal gifts for your eldest brother and your second brother are all prepared by your mother."
"What's more, the Duke's residence is blessed with double happiness, and it's too late for mother to be happy?"
With that said, Nanny Xu got out of bed, put on her clothes, and left the house.
When he left the house, he didn't forget to turn around and tell Luo Jiuli.
"The Ninth Prince is still here. Go and accompany him quickly. Don't neglect me."
Luo Jiuli saw that after hearing his eldest brother's happy news, his mother's waist no longer hurt, her legs were sore, and her walking was windy. She stood up helplessly and laughed, and followed behind her.
Main courtyard.
"Master, are you looking for the prince?"
Nan Zhu and Nan Xing were standing guard outside the door. When they saw their master coming out, they rushed to greet him.
Luo Jiuli shook his head.
"Your Majesty and father are discussing things in the study, so I won't go and will go back to Fuquyuan."
"yes"
The two accompanied Luo Jiuli back to Fuquyuan.
The charcoal fire was burning brightly in the dormitory, and the incense burner in the corner was burning, and the smoke was hazy, making people intoxicated.
Only this room was as warm as spring, but outside the dormitory, it was extremely cold.
Luo Jiuli was lying on the bed bored, wondering if the eldest brother in the palace had received the emperor's marriage decree now? When the eldest brother gets married, what kind of gift should she give to celebrate his wedding?
