General, this plot is wrong

After several days of rain, the sun finally came out.

Chu Heng opened the curtain and looked out of the carriage. The carriage passed a lotus pond outside the city. In summer, the white lotus stood gracefully on the lake, looking as pretty as a young girl.

On the shaft of the carriage, Bai Shu and Shao Aniu were talking in a low voice, and then the carriage stopped slowly. He saw Bai Shu passing the carriage and running towards the lotus pond, and came back with a few lotus pods after a while.

Chu Heng picked him up and came back with a lotus pod in his arms, and reached out to pick one up: "Why do you think of buying a lotus pod?"

"Sanlang hasn't slept soundly these days and nights. Last time, I accidentally heard Sanlang mention that lotus seeds are sweet and astringent, and have the effect of invigorating the spleen and stopping diarrhea, clearing the heart, nourishing the mind and nourishing the kidneys. Just now I saw someone picking lotus pods by the lotus pond, so Buy some back so that I can make soup for Saburo."

Baishu is older than Wuwei, and is also better at learning. Chu Heng taught the two brothers to read and write consciously or unconsciously on weekdays.

After the emerald green lotus pod was opened, there was a milky smell. I peeled off a lotus seed and threw it into my mouth. After chewing it twice, it turned out that the water vapor was too heavy to swallow.

If you want to eat lotus pods, the best is the black lotus pod house, where the lotus seeds are like sweet nectar, which will leave a fragrance on people's lips and teeth.The current season has only just arrived in September, although the lotus pods can be picked, it is a bit early.

Chu Heng glanced at Baishu who was still sitting in the car, swallowed the lotus seeds in his mouth, put down the lotus pod in his hand, and asked, "How long will it take to get to Yandu?"

"You should be able to enter the city before dusk." Bai Shu glanced at the sky.

Chu Heng nodded, closed his eyes and took a nap.Bai Shu lowered his eyes, reached out and dug a mouthful of lotus seeds and stuffed it into his mouth. He frowned, looked at Chu Heng, and swallowed his mouth full of bitterness.

Yandu is the same as it was more than half a year ago, nothing has changed.The carriages came and went, and seemed to be leaving or entering the city before the sound of the drum.

There are hungry people begging outside the gate, and official carriages enter the city proudly, but the inspection at the gate of the city is much stricter than before.

Chu Heng's carriage was stopped outside the city gate, and the captain of the guard came to check the customs clearance documents.The few people who had been leading the way on horseback immediately took out the jade token in their arms and handed it to the captain for inspection.

The captain saw clearly the words engraved on the jade tablet, and immediately turned sideways to let him go.Chu Heng glanced out from inside the car, bumped into the captain's furtively raised gaze, then lowered the curtain, pursed his lips and remained silent.

He entered Yandu this time because of the imperial decree he received more than a month ago.

The days of Bieyun Mountain Villa are like wild cranes, there are not so many disputes, and there is no need to worry about who is the king.

In the villa, he was busy every day with seeing patients and treating diseases, staying up late to make medicines and raising supplies, and finding caravans to deliver things back to Yancheng one after another.

The days went by day by day, and he was thinking about when Lu Ting would be able to return to the villa, but "Hongyan" passed on the letter, and only saw the man's sometimes scribbled, sometimes steady words in the letter, sporadically talking about the conflicts in the borderlands .

Chu Heng waited several months for the letter from Lu Ting to return to the villa, but he did not receive the imperial decree from the palace——

On Emperor Mingde's birthday, Chu Heng was invited into the palace.

This is a birthday gift to please him.

Chu Heng had no choice but to ask the little eunuch who came to announce the decree. He learned that Emperor Mingde's birthday was in September, and after counting the time when King Qing received the imperial decree and returned to the palace from Guiyan City, he couldn't help but click his tongue.

What did Emperor Mingde think when he summoned the brothers of the feudal clan into the palace almost half a year in advance...

The little eunuch Chu Heng stayed in the villa for a few days, arranged all the affairs in the village properly, and added twice as much medicinal powder to the caravan going to Guiyan City, then packed himself up, brought Baishu and Shao Aniu started on the road.

This time it was much smoother than the last time, and most of the stays along the way were official inns.The little eunuch was recognized by Mr. Chang as his godson, he was clever, and he got acquainted with Chu Heng within a few days, but his mouth was very tight, and he couldn't say anything.

After the carriage entered the city, the little eunuch led the way to the largest mansion in Yandu.This store is located in the West City, with a two-story building, with a front courtyard and a backyard, it is more spacious than ordinary mansion stores.

The room where Chu Heng lived was on the second floor, and when he walked out of the room, there was a corridor, and he could see the residents coming and going in the yard below.But when the windows on the other side of the house were opened, there were several wine shops and brothels nearby, and before they closed at dusk, people entered those shops one after another, obviously they didn't plan to leave the West Market at night.

After the little eunuch settled Chu Heng, he went back to the palace to return to his command. Bai Shu sent him out of the mansion, and when he turned around, he saw the little girl standing alone in the middle of the road.The snow-white skin looks like a doll.

"Lili?"

Bai Shu was squatting down to ask her if she was lost, when she heard Chu Heng's voice behind her, and then the little girl with a ignorant face turned her head to follow the sound, as if she was trying to identify something. He ran towards Chu Heng.

"neat!"

Chu Heng bent down, and picked up Jiang Li who flung himself to his legs.The little guy gained a lot of weight than a few months ago, and his articulation became clearer. He hugged his neck and gnawed on his face.

"Why did you run out alone?" Holding Jiang Li with one hand, Chu Heng smiled and scratched her.The little guy kept giggling and fell into his arms: "Come out and play. Mother is talking to Grandpa."

Chu Heng knew that the grandpa Jiang Li was talking about was probably the white-headed old man he had seen in Jiangyuan before.The sound of drums from Guanfang came to his ears, and Chu Heng simply hugged the little guy and walked towards Jiangyuan along the road in his memory.

Bai Shu followed behind him all the time, seeing him stop in front of a wine shop, chatting and laughing with a bearded woman in the wine shop, couldn't help but clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves.

Asuna hadn't seen Chu Heng for a long time, and seeing someone now, she was both surprised and happy: "Mr. Lang is back? Could it be that brother Mr. Lang caused something to happen again?"

Chu Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "There's something wrong." He handed Jiang Li back to Asuna, stretched out his hand and pinched the little guy's nose, "Although the business in the wine shop is busy, we still have to take care of Lili. There are many people in West City, and the total There are kidnappers, be careful."

Asuna nodded again and again, reaching out to hug Jiangli.The little guy seemed to be dying on Chu Heng's body, hugging his neck tightly, but refused to let go.

Rao Asuna talked so much, she even agreed to eat three more candies tomorrow, but the little guy still hugged Chu Heng tightly, pouted, a little unhappy.

"If she really doesn't want to, why don't you sleep with me at night and send her back tomorrow." Chu Heng hugged Jiang Li and suggested, "I live in the mansion at the corner of the street. Come and pick it up..."

"You don't need to nag my lord."

On the stairs at the corner of the second floor, Jiang Qiang suddenly made a sound, followed by the white-headed old man whom Chu Heng had met several times before.

Chu Heng heard the sound and looked around, and heard Jiang Li Nuonuo's greeting: "Aniang, Grandpa."

"Li Li, come here, don't pester Uncle Chu." Jiang Qiang shook his head and reached out to hug his daughter.The little girl looked at her mother, finally let go of her hand, and obediently fell into her mother's arms.

Chu Heng's arms were empty, and he felt a little regretful.

Ever since he met Emperor Ming De in Jiangyuan that day, he has not seen Jiang Qiang.At first glance, but I haven't seen him for a few months, Jiang Qiang is obviously thinner than before, and his face doesn't look very good.

"Do you want me to take your pulse?" Chu Heng blurted out, seeing Jiang Qiang was taken aback, and said again, "You look bad, and you are thinner than before, if you don't take care of it, you may not be able to take good care of the child .”

From hearing and asking, Chu Heng can only see that Jiang Qiang's body had suffered a loss not long ago, and it caused great damage to his body, which resulted in his current appearance.But without taking the pulse, he is not good at prescribing medicine indiscriminately.

However, the white-headed old man behind Jiang Qiang was obviously not satisfied with Chu Heng's "nosy".

"Since Mr. Chu Lang is so powerful, why don't we see if Niang Qiang can conceive another child. After all, the one in the palace hasn't gotten tired of him yet. If he is lucky enough to conceive a dragon heir again, he will be considered a success. "

Chu Heng frowned.The white-headed old man had an inexplicably sinister look on his face: "A month ago, the Empress Dowager rewarded a bowl of decoction for aborted fetuses, and my half-brother, who was separated from his mother for more than three months, came down with a bowl of decoction. Mr. Lang might as well see if he can prescribe some kind of medicine, so that the child can be kept when the mother rewards the decoction next time."

The white-headed old man's words sounded like he was feeling sorry for Jiang Qiang's lost child, but when he listened carefully, it clearly showed great cruelty.It seemed that what had been knocked out of her stomach, what she might conceive in the future was just a piece of meat.

Even Jiang Qiang's face was calm, as if he didn't care that he had lost a child once, and might even lose another child in the future.

Chu Heng moved his lips, and looked at Jiang Li with pity. She didn't seem to know that her mother had conceived younger siblings for her.

"The child belongs to the one in the palace?"

Jiang Qiang nodded slightly.

"The queen mother gave the medicine, did that person say anything?"

Jiang Qiang shook his head.

"That child, do you want it, or don't you want it?"

Jiang Qiang opened his mouth, but before he could spit out the words in his mouth, the white-headed old man suddenly said loudly: "Why don't you want it? It's the dragon's heir! I heard that Chu Langjun made the immortality pill for the emperor, so he must be able to do something for Qiangniang. You can’t drink a tocolytic that won’t let your child down!”

With great difficulty, Chu Heng suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Jiang Qiang, turned his head and sneered at the old man: "You know that if she becomes pregnant again, the queen mother will still give medicine to conceive, do you still look forward to having this dragon heir?"

He took a deep breath, "If a woman drinks too much medicine for miscarriage, she will die, not to mention whether she will be able to conceive in the future. Maybe when she miscarries, she will have to send it away due to heavy bleeding. If you are serious Why didn't her adoptive father think about her."

Ever since he knew Helian Hun's identity, Chu Heng had doubts about Jiang Yuan.Except for Li Li who is still ignorant, there is no one in this restaurant who does not appear here with a purpose.

The white-headed old man called Long Si every sentence in his mouth, but he did not hide the malice in his eyes, as if he was not worried that Chu Heng would tell others about Jiang Yuan's inappropriateness.

And Jiang Qiang's expression finally loosened at this moment, almost before the old man spoke again, he threw Lili to Asuna, pulled Chu Heng's wrist, and walked directly out of the wine shop.

Bai Shu followed closely, but only heard Jiang Qiang say "don't come again".Looking at Chu Heng's face again, it has already sunk.

"Sanlang..."

"Go back to the mansion shop." Chu Heng raised his hand and rubbed between his brows.

Bai Shu followed Chu Heng a few steps away, couldn't help turning her head, and took a last look at the wine shop.

Behind the unclosed gate of the wine shop, the Hu girl named Jiang Qiang was slapped severely by the lame old man.Hu Nu beside her hugged the little girl tightly, trembling all over.

That's not the fear that a single slap can bring.

That night, where Chu Heng didn't know, Asuna hugged Lili tightly and covered her mouth, for fear that the little guy's cries would anger the violent man in the next room.

Ugly panting sounds, mixed with the dull sound of punches and kicks on the body, repeated the atrocities almost once a month.

At three o'clock, the voice next door finally stopped.

Asuna hugged the child who finally fell asleep after crying and tired, and stood up silently leaning against the door until she heard the creaking sound of the door next door closing. Then he opened the door and walked into the next door.

In the bedroom filled with heather scent, Jiang Qiang was lying naked on the messy bed.Her long hair was spread out, covering half of her shoulders. There was hardly a piece of good meat on her body. There were bite marks on her chest, ribs, waist and even legs.

Asuna's eyes were red from crying, and like countless times in the past, she helped Jiang Qiang, who was tortured and weak, held back tears, and wiped off the traces of cruelty on her body bit by bit, and wiped off the traces of cruelty on her body bit by bit. A plaster that disappears the next day.

"Asuna." Jiang Qiang said slowly, "Jiang Tuo is going crazy."

The hand that applied the medicine suddenly trembled, Jiang Qiang held it with a smile, and touched Asuna's face that was already full of tears: "When he goes crazy, remember, take Li Li to find Chu Langjun."

"Sister..."

"He is a good man, he can protect Lili."
