Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Qiongshuang in surprise.

Lu Qiong's eyes were red, and she nodded to Jiang Xue and said, "My grandfather refused to even see me. I wanted to serve the decoction in front of his bed last night, but he woke up and called me out."

Jiang Xue looked at Mrs. Shen with some confusion and asked, "Why is this so? My grandfather was sick before, and it never happened like this. Can't you even see me?"

Mrs. Shen held her handkerchief and slowly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said: "This time the wind and cold came so fiercely that my father-in-law couldn't get up after only half a day. He had occasionally been sick before, but he had never been like this before. He was afraid of himself, afraid of himself. ——”

Mrs. Shen couldn't speak anymore, so she covered her face with a handkerchief and cried.

Jiang Xue understood the meaning of her unspoken words, her heart sank, and said: "Auntie, please call the imperial doctor over first to answer her question."

Mrs. Shen nodded and told the woman beside her to go find the person.

Jiang Xue held Lu Qiongshuang's hand and whispered comfort. The two sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, and a maid immediately made tea and handed it to the tea table.

Doctors Xu and Zheng looked tired and hurriedly saluted Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue looked at their gray beards and dark eyes, and quickly asked someone to give them a seat.

"Two imperial doctors, what is the condition of my grandfather's illness this time?"

Dr. Xu and Dr. Zheng looked at each other with hesitation on their faces. Finally, Dr. Xu spoke:

"Going back to Your Highness, the Prime Minister just occasionally felt the cold, but unfortunately he is too old, and..." Doctor Xu slightly raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Xue, and then said: "The Prime Minister has been working hard for a long time and worried too much. With wind and cold as the trigger, the disease will strike like a landslide."

Jiang Xue frowned and asked with concern: "Are the two imperial doctors sure?"

Dr. Xu coughed a few times and said: "This disease can only be treated with wind-cold medicine first. After the superficial symptoms are eliminated, then slowly use medicine to nurse it back to health... But the recovery time must be longer, and Never overwork yourself in the future.”

Jiang Xue's heart felt like it was sinking to the bottom of the sea.

My grandfather is very old. If he takes medicine every day, it will be three-part poison. If it goes on for a long time, his body will be exhausted.

Moreover, most of the affairs of the Chancery were handled by my grandfather himself. My father relied too much on him. If there was no one to replace him for a while - who would I rely on? Although the second emperor brother has now taken over the Ministry of War and the Staff Department, he is not familiar with many matters of the Staff Department. Without the help of his grandfather, he may be alone.

Nowadays, most of the people in the court are my grandfather's disciples and former officials, but if there is no one who can make the final decision...

Jiang Xue thought with horror, Gu Lintan!

Gu Lintan was already involved in the rites department at this time. Although his position was in the Hanlin Academy, if his father and grandfather believed in him too much, it would not be difficult to push the number one scholar out and get an important position in the Secretariat.

Jiang Xue had a headache. To investigate Gu Lintan's matter, she had to rely on the emperor's brother to find out the group of Beixi people. In addition, there was no news about Ruan Yisui for several days.

The coming storm brings sorrow and sorrow.

She solemnly told the two old doctors: "No matter what, please do your best to treat my grandfather. You can send someone to inform me about other matters in the Taiyuan Hospital or anything at home. I will arrange everything for you two. You two will stay in the Lu Mansion for the time being to treat your grandfather and nurse him back to health."

Doctor Xu and Doctor Zheng both stood up and bowed their hands to Jiang Xue, saying, "I will certainly live up to my mission."

Jiang Xue turned to Mrs. Shen and said: "Aunt, the two adults are old. They must take good care of their daily life and assign a few smart and capable young men to serve them. If there are not enough people in the house, aunt can work with me. Open your mouth."

Mrs. Shen nodded repeatedly and said: "Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness. This is the duty of the Lu family. The two imperial doctors are here, and the palace has ordered the best for them. Thanks to the two imperial doctors for saving me, The entire Lu family feels deeply about it. When my father-in-law recovers in the future, I will definitely thank you generously."

"If my grandfather does not want to see guests, my aunt will also send people to the homes of officials in the court who have good relations with the Lu family to inform them, especially my grandfather's students, so that they will not have to go to the house in vain."

Shen said: "Your Highness is very thoughtful, I will just let someone handle it."

Mrs. Shen was originally a good manager of the house. Mrs. Lu Xiang passed away early, and the whole house was managed by Shen. It had been in good order for several years. Jiang Xue trusted her ability.

Jiang Xue said: "It's all my fault, Qiong Shuang, please stay at home these days and don't run around. If grandpa gets better, you can tell me."

Lu Qiongshuang nodded and said, "I will, cousin."

Jiang Xue comforted her mother and daughter for a few more words. Seeing that everyone in the Lu family was busy and in a hurry, she didn't dare to stay any longer, so she stood up and left.

On the way back, Jiang Xue leaned against the carriage window and worried.

Seeing the tired faces of the two imperial doctors Xu and Zheng, she originally wanted to recommend He Zhilin to the Lu Mansion, but after thinking about it carefully, she gave up.

Although He Zhilin is well-known in Hebei Province and is praised as a "famous doctor in Jiaodong" by the people, he has no origin. If you want to recommend him, unless you say that he is a son of the He family, otherwise he will be recommended to the prime minister rashly based on his current status as a traveling doctor. Mansion, it doesn’t make sense.

Jiang Xue thought about it again and again, but still had to give He Zhilin a legitimate medical identity in Jijing.

Back at Wenqingxuan, Xiaochun fetched water to wash Jiang Xue's face.

"His Royal Highness has been married for less than a month. After visiting patients, he must wash his face with water mixed with Xianzhi to remove the odor of illness and filth, so that he can be lucky and healthy."

Jiang Xue had no choice but to let her wash up for him. After she finished, she asked, "Has Ruan Yisui still not been here?"

Xiaochun was stunned and said: "It seems that I haven't seen him in the past few days. Yesterday's palace banquet slave and Fu Dong accompanied His Highness into the palace. I wonder if he can't be found when he comes back?"

Jiang Xue said: "It doesn't matter, I'll go look for him by the way."

"Your Highness is going out? Then go and prepare the car."

"No, you go and call Xu Chonggan Ning, and Fudong will accompany me later." Jiang Xue said softly to Xiaochun, "You are now in charge of this mansion, and only with your meticulousness can I rest assured if you stay in this mansion."

"If my consort comes to look for me today, he will say that I have made a vow to fast and pray for my grandfather. I have set up a small Buddhist hall in Wenqingxuan to chant sutras, but no one is there."

Xiaochun nodded in agreement and walked out with the copper basin.

Jiang Xue glanced at the hairpin, opened it, took out the hairpin placed on the edge, and put it in her sleeve.

Not long after, Fu Dong arrived at the house.

Jiang Xue said to her: "You ask Xu Chong to harness the carriage himself. Just harness the small carriage that ordinary servants go out to buy. Then go get a set of clothes with a lighter color and come over for me to change into. We will go to Sajin Alley in a while." .”

Fu Dong asked: "Your Highness is going to look for Mr. He?"

"I'm going to find Su Yu." Jiang Xue said.

Fu Dong moved swiftly and quickly changed Jiang Xue's clothes, and helped Jiang Xue put her hair into a simple bun. She only used lake blue velvet flowers for her make-up, which was elegant and not eye-catching.

Jiang Xue asked her to bring her long curtain hats, and each of them put on one hat, and said: "When we go out later, we will tell the servants that Xiang Lu will go out with you to buy needlework."

The two of them went out and got into the car.

Fu Dong said to Xu Chong: "Go to the 'Jinxiu' embroidery building that I went to that day."

Not long after, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the embroidery building.

Jiang Xue got up and got out of the car, just as Su Yu had just walked out of the embroidery building. When she saw Jiang Xue, she beamed with joy and shouted:

"Sister Jiang San, why are you here?"
