From eunuch to emperor

"Your Majesty, Liu Yubi said he would flee to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty is to the east, and Guancheng is also to the east. Your Majesty is in Guancheng!"

hiss...

Long Chen's words made Queen Lu's hair stand on end.

"Didn't you just say that Liu Yubi absconded in fear of crime, so why did you go to Guancheng again!"

Queen Lu stood up and grabbed Long Chen by the collar, completely ignoring the queen's demeanor.

Long Chen bowed and said: "The grassroots dare not talk nonsense, Liu Yubi said he wanted to escape, the grassroots can only tell the truth."

"Liu Yubi may have fled to Guancheng to expose her. This is the speculation of the grassroots."

Queen Lu trembled all over, her eyes flustered, and she tightly grabbed Long Chen's collar.

"Your Majesty, calm down. It will take time to get from Wangcheng to Guancheng. The old thief won't be far away. You only need to send elite cavalry to chase him down, and there is still time."

"There should not be many people who know about this matter. As long as the empress cleans up the matter in the next few days, even if the gods come, they will not be able to explain it clearly."

"As for the old thief, just kill him on the way. Don't let him open his mouth. Afterwards, he will be charged with poisoning and treason, and the matter will be over."

Long Chen spoke clearly and logically, Queen Lu nodded sharply: "That's right, that's exactly it!"

Just in time, Gong Zheng Yuyao hurried in and saw the queen grabbing Long Chen's clothes.

"Miss!"

Yuyao thought that Long Chen had done something, and immediately stepped forward to be vigilant.

This Gongzheng Yuyao has practiced before, and her cultivation base is in the early stage of the king, so she can be regarded as a master in the palace.

The queen let go of her clothes and said: "The old thief may have been ordered by Concubine Li Gui to go to Guancheng to file a complaint. You should quickly send Jingqi to hunt him down, and return with his head!"

Yuyao was startled and said: "Instigated by Concubine Li Gui?"

How could this matter be instigated by Concubine Li Gui after going out for a trip?

The queen got impatient and said, "Send someone to hunt him down quickly. If we let him reach Guancheng, we will die!"

Yuyao didn't ask any more questions, and immediately sent a second wave of people to the east to hunt them down.

Queen Lu sat down tremblingly, touched her stomach, and said, "You dispense the medicine immediately, and this Palace will get rid of this scourge."

Long Chen bowed and said: "The grass people follow orders, but these medicinal materials cannot appear in the palace. The grass people must go back to prepare the medicine and decoct it, and then send it to the palace. Only in this way can they be kept secret."

If this kind of medicine is obtained from the Tai Hospital, it is a self-inflicted trap.

Even the maids and eunuchs in the palace could not see those herbs.

Queen Lu looked at Long Chen and said nothing, Long Chen knew what Queen Lu was thinking.

Liu Yubi said to go back to decoct the medicine, but she ran away.

Now that Long Chen said to go back to decoction, there is no guarantee that Long Chen would also run away.

"The matter is urgent. Caomin is worried that Concubine Li Gui will kill him, so I implore the empress to send someone to protect Caomin."

Long Chen was very sensible, and he took the initiative to ask Queen Lu to send someone to follow and monitor.

Queen Lu's expression softened slightly, she nodded slightly and said, "That's right, if that bitch does something, she will definitely harm you."

"I will send you two followers to ensure your safety."

Long Chen pretended to be pleasantly surprised, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, the grass people will no longer have to worry about the future."

Queen Lu is very satisfied with Long Chen's way.

Not long after, Yuyao came in and said, "Your Majesty, it's all right."

Queen Lu nodded slightly, and said: "He wants to go back to decoct the medicine. He is worried that Concubine Li Gui will be murdered, so I ask my palace to send my servants to protect him."

"You go and choose two capable maids, who will protect him inseparably."

Yuyao understands everything and knows what the queen means.

"Understood, the servants will immediately pick two over."

When Yuyao went out, Long Chen was waiting in the bedroom.

After the matter was settled, Queen Lu felt a little more at ease, and only then was she able to think carefully about Long Chen.

Tall, handsome, with a heroic look between his brows.

Queen Lu thought to herself: She has a good skin.

"When did you study medicine with Liu Yubi?"

Queen Lu asked coldly.

Long Chen took half a step back, and replied: "When Caomin was 9 years old, his family suffered an accident, and he lived on the street begging. The old thief took in Caomin at that time, and it has been 12 years now."

Queen Lu asked: "You have been in the old thief's house for 12 years, why has my palace never heard of it?"

The queen only heard that Liu Yubi taught two disciples, but never heard of Long Chen.

Long Chen bowed and said: "The old thief took the grass-roots people as house disciples, and he almost never left home, and was always in the pharmacy."

"My empress is a body of a thousand pieces of gold, how dirty the grassroots are, how can I pollute my empress' holy hearing."

This is Long Chen's own rhetoric, naturally Queen Lu will not believe it all.

"You have been under the old thief's hands for 12 years, and you have never gone out? Are you like a prisoner?"

Long Chen replied: "Actually... the old thief just wants to see that the grassroots look good."

"For this matter, the servants in the family can testify."

If Queen Lu finds someone to confront, all the servants in the Liu Mansion will be replaced by people from Xichang, there will be absolutely no problem.

Queen Lu's face showed a clear expression. In ancient times, there was a bad habit of raising prostitutes. Seeing that Long Chen was good-looking, Liu Yubi kept Long Chen in his room as a plaything, which also made sense.

"So that's how it is...how about the old thief teaching you your medical skills?"

Queen Lu is considering whether to take Long Chen for her own use.

Long Chen bowed: "Actually, I don't know much about medicine, the old thief only taught acupuncture and moxibustion."

Long Chen is not omnipotent, he is really good at prescribing medicine when seeing a doctor, he learned a little acupuncture and moxibustion from Xiu Niang.

If Queen Lu wanted to test it, she could use acupuncture to fool her and prescribe a prescription.

Queen Lu nodded slightly, Long Chen's answer sounded very real.

The door opened, and Yuyao came in with two maids.

"Young lady, these two are good at martial arts."

Long Chen took a closer look, the two women were tall and slender, wearing black dresses, the skin on their faces was a little rough, but their figures were excellent, with big breasts and hips.

People who practice martial arts are exposed to the wind and the sun, and Xixia is dry and bitterly cold, so it is understandable that the skin on the face is not good.

As long as the body skin under the clothes is good, it will be fine.

Queen Lu nodded slightly, and ordered: "This is Liu Feng, the new imperial physician in the palace. From today on, you follow him and protect his safety."

"Remember, you must be inseparable, eat and sleep together."

These words sound familiar, when Long Chen was assassinated in the capital, Emperor Luoxi sent Zhang Qian to protect him, and said that they were inseparable.

The two girls bowed immediately: "Your servant obeys!"

Queen Lu turned her head and said to Long Chen: "The two of them were trained by this palace, and they are good at guarding and assassinating. Within ten meters, taking someone's head is like picking something out of a bag, so there is no problem in protecting you."

These words are a warning to Long Chen, within ten meters, taking someone's head is like picking something out of a bag, with two such powerful maids at the side, it would be easy for Queen Lu to kill Long Chen.

Long Chen pretended not to understand, and happily said: "Thank you, Madam, for your kindness!"

Queen Lu showed a meaningful smile on her face.

Yuyao said coldly: "The empress said that you are the imperial physician in the palace. From tonight onwards, you are no longer a pariah, but a slave in the palace."

Long Chen thought to himself: From a pariah to a slave, what's the difference?

"Little one, thank you for your grace."

Long Chen never said the word "slave".

Queen Lu only acted as Long Chen did not go out for 12 years, did not know the rules of the palace, and did not care about titles.

"Go back quickly and decoct the medicine, and send it to the palace tonight."

Queen Lu was in a hurry and had to get rid of the things in her stomach.

Long Chen immediately bowed and said: "The little one takes orders, and the little one takes my leave."
