Sunset.
Gradually something happens.
At dusk, dark clouds covered the sky over Kyoto.
There was no wind, and the air was very hot.
Prime Minister's Mansion.
Jitai, who had returned from the next morning, stood by the lotus pond, looked up at the low sky, and said: "I'm afraid it's going to rain... It's about time it rained."
There is a wheelchair next to him.
The old man in black robe sitting in the wheelchair threw a peanut in his hand into the lotus pond, which attracted a group of fish to fight for it.
"I still think it is too urgent to kill Li Chenan at this time!"
Ji Tai did not turn around, he responded: "This matter... was the idea given to the imperial concubine by Zhongli Su's wife Rong Yiyin. The Rong Mansion has declined in recent years, and what Rong Yiyin wants of course is to hope that Zhongli Ruoshui can marry Zhixing is at least a princess..."
"Now that Rong Yiyin is marrying Zhonglisu, I'm afraid that the head of the Rong family originally wanted to rely on Dingguohou's Mansion, but Dingguohou's Mansion has not extended much help to the Rong family in recent years."
Ji Tai shook the cattail leaf fan in his hand, looked at the fish that surfaced, thought for a while, and then said: "Of course, it would be great if Zhixing could really marry Zhongli Ruoshui, regardless of how much Dingguo Zhixing could get. With the help of the Marquis Mansion, as long as the Dingguo Marquis Mansion can stand by and watch, the matter will be more certain, so I did not stop Li Chenan from being killed."
The old man in black robe pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at Jitai's back, and suddenly felt that Jitai was also old.
He stood up straighter than before.
More importantly, in this matter, his attitude before and after showed a huge deviation——
Rong Yiyin had already arrived in Beijing and had already met Concubine Ji.
If you want to kill Li Chenan, the best way is to send someone to Guangling City, or when Li Chenan is on his way to Kyoto, instead of when Li Chenan has already entered Beijing or even lived in Huaxi Villa.
At this time, in fact, the Dingguo Hou Mansion had made its attitude clear to everyone in Kyoto.
Mrs. Fan even went to the palace to quarrel with the emperor over the matter of Zhongli Ruoshui. She also acquiesced to Li Chenan living in the Huaxi Villa. This was enough to show that she at least did not object to such close contact between Zhongli Ruoshui and Li Chenan.
But she clearly opposed Zhongli Ruoshui marrying the second prince Ning Zhixing!
That woman in Rong Mansion is so stupid!
She asked Concubine Ji to send Eunuch Xiao and Luo Yueban to kill Li Chenan. If Li Chenan was really killed, the matter could turn around, but Li Chenan did not die, instead Luo Yueban and others died.
It is foreseeable that the Dingguohou Mansion will be more careful to protect Li Chenan's safety, and the Dingguohou Mansion will also be more careful about Concubine Ji.
It was clear that Concubine Ji had asked for the emperor's will, so this move was actually a clever move.
It’s a pity that it’s already the fifth day of August. It would be nice to wait another ten days!
After this incident, at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala on August 15th, even if the emperor really wanted to order Li Chenan to be executed... would the Dingguo Hou Mansion do anything?
The old man in black robe thought so, then looked up at Ji Tai's back, and said without saying anything about what had happened, "The emperor is back this time, the second prince... his fiefdom is in Jinyuan County, Shuzhou."
"According to the legal system, to become a king, you need to go to the fiefdom to become a vassal."
"I think it would be best if we can delay it for another year and a half."
Jitai's old eyes narrowed slightly, and after a long while he said: "So, the marriage of Princess Linlin cannot be done!"
The old man in black robe nodded, suddenly turned his head and looked outside, and saw Kang Shiji, the chief steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion, walking over in a hurry.
Kang Shiji bowed to the old man in black robe, stood next to Ji Tai, and whispered: "Sir, those boys from the Lijing Division went out in full force to search hospitals all over the city...I heard they were looking for Li Chenan. !”
Ji Tai turned around sharply and looked at Kang Shiji, "You mean the people from Lijing Division are looking for Li Chenan?"
"Sir, that's right!"
Ji Tai's face was gloomy, and after a long time he said: "I know...go and call Yang Sixian over!"
"I obey, villain!"
Kang Shiji turned and left, and Ji Tai looked at the old man in black robe, "What do you think?"
"...Either the fourth princess also developed a liking for Li Chenan when she went to Guangling City. Or...Li Chenan joined the Lijing Division earlier...but I am more inclined to the former view."
"Are you saying that Ning Chuchu fell in love with Li Chenan during the short time she spent in Guangling City?"
"This is not surprising, because Zhongli Ruoshui also fell in love with Li Chenan after the Nawen meeting on March 3rd. At that time, the fourth princess happened to be in Guangling City!"
"It happened to be that day when Li Chenan composed the song "Die Lian Hua"."
Ji Tai took a deep breath and murmured: "What kind of charm does this boy have?"
"One is the daughter of Zhongli Mansion, and the other is the princess of the royal family... just because of his poetry and his wine?"
"The reason Ning Chuchu is able to master Li Jingsi is not her beauty, but her wisdom!"
"I have always believed that women like Ning Chuchu must be rational and put the overall situation first... It seems that I have underestimated Li Chenan."
He suddenly grinned, stroking his long beard and said: "Li Chenan is a member of the Fish and Dragon Society after all. Here comes... Let Yang Sixian lead the people of the Fish and Dragon Society to find Li Chenan for me!"
…
…
Finally the wind started to rise.
The dark clouds began to roll in the sky.
There was thunder roaring on the clouds, and lightning tearing through the clouds and shining in the darkening sky.
The people of Yujing City finally felt a hint of coolness, and finally waited for the first rain since the beginning of summer.
When the heavy raindrops fell, there should have been few pedestrians on the streets.
But the people of Kyoto suddenly discovered that the atmosphere was a little different?——
There were indeed not many people on the street, but there were teams of people running in a hurry!
The goals of these people are very clear. The places they go to are the medical clinics on the streets!
Those medical clinics have been visited several times by these mysterious people.
These people went in not to seek medical advice, but to say extremely seriously that the Lijing Company or the Fish and Dragon Society were performing official duties!
The so-called official business is simple, just find a person named Li Chenan!
This Li Chenan just entered Kyoto yesterday, and now he got into trouble with the Lijing Division and the Fish and Dragon Society at the same time?
This guy is really awesome.
But I don’t know which medical clinic he went to?
I don’t know why he went to the medical clinic!
Li Chenan was not at the hospital at all.
An Zizi took him to an inconspicuous small courtyard.
There was a hunchbacked old man and an old yellow dog with hair loss in the small yard.
At this time, the lantern in the west wing of the small courtyard was already lit, and Amu was lying on the bed in this room.
The hunchbacked old man washed the blood on his hands by the well in the corner of the courtyard, looked at the heavy rain, and walked along the corridor to the west wing. He stood in front of the bed and looked at Amu, who was sleeping with steady breathing. Then he turned around and sat at the table and looked at An Zizi.
"My life is saved, but it will probably take half a year for him to recover from his injuries!"
An Zizai grinned and looked at Li Chen'an, "How is it? Looking at the entire Ning Kingdom, when it comes to medical skills, if Sun Tuozi says he is second, no one dares to say he is first!"
Li Chenan stood up and bowed: "Thank you so much, Dr. Sun!"
Sun Tuozi waved his hand: "Thank you so much! I'm not a miracle doctor, but I treated a lot of people in the military back then... Especially for this kind of trauma, don't listen to Fatty An. Besides, this busy work is not in vain. Help, I need money to save people!"
"Easy to say, how much silver?"
"For Fatty An's sake, I'll give you one thousand taels!"
An Zizai jumped up immediately, "Sun Tuozi, he is the old lady's grandson-in-law!"
"..."
Sun Tuozi was startled and looked up at Li Chenan.
"Which granddaughter is the old lady's?"
"Zhongli Ruoshui!"
"...Okay, free."
"From now on, if you have any problems, I will treat you for free, but there is one thing you need to remember!"
"Senior, please speak!"
Sun Tuozi said meaningfully: "Be nice to Miss Ruoshui! If you betray her... I will definitely kill you!"
