Rong Lan

Chapter 8 The Story Begins

When Chong Yi arrived at Rong's mansion, Rong Xuan was administering medicine to Rong Lan.

Rong Lan was lying on the bed with her face turned to one side, her eyes closed as if she was asleep.His entire back was exposed, a long welt from the sphenoid bone to the waist.

"Hmm...it hurts..."

As soon as Rong Xuan's hand touched the scar, the person on the bed let out a groan, and his body began to shiver slightly, but his eyes were still closed, and there was no sign of waking up.

"Xiaolan, you can't do without the medicine, bear with it, brother, try to be as gentle as possible." Rong Xuan's movements were more gentle and focused, and he didn't even notice that the heavy wing was coming.

"Huang..." Zhang Degang wanted to raise his voice to remind.

Chong Yi stopped him, turned around and went to the front hall.

Rong Shen had been waiting in the front hall for a long time, and it was a bit unexpected that the emperor came to him suddenly.

"Minister, see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Zhong Yi sat down and looked at him, didn't say anything about his body, but asked: "Rong Hufang put such a heavy hand on his son, is it because he wants people all over the world to say that I am narrow-minded and can't tolerate being admired by a man?"

In the final analysis, it was the emperor's imperial decree that Rong Shen strictly rule the family, and how strict the law was was more or less revealed by the emperor's intentions.

"I don't dare!" Rong Shen was actually regretting it in his heart, if he and Rong Xuan hadn't taken turns to catch Rong Lan's last pulse with true energy that night, he might have turned gray before the imperial doctor from the palace came. To the brunette.

For this reason, the eldest son, who has always been prudent and filial, has not spoken to him for several days, and even more so, he has the attitude of letting the Rong family die if something happens to his younger brother.

Rong Shen can't be angry or regretful now, he wants to care about Rong Lan, and every time he gets to the door, he backs away, and he feels sorry for his son, but when he thinks that Rong Lan was beaten like this by himself, he still doesn't want to look at him as well.

Chong Yi flicked his sleeves and got up: "I came today to tell you that I saved Rong Lan's life, and I have the final say on his life and death!"

Rong Shen looked at Zhong Yi's back in surprise, and the shock in his heart could not be subsided for a long time.Your Majesty, this is...

Your majesty, this is the road to customs clearance for Rong Lan, which is full of thorns!

It directly caused Rong Lan to want to accept the family law for the second time, which was even more difficult than getting his distressed tears.

Rong Lan was still dreaming about how to go to the house to uncover the tiles, so that Rong Shen could beat him up a few more times. In this room, Zhong Yi had personally visited, shattering his dreams one by one.

"Tell Master Qianyu that I can grant his proposal, on the condition that we can find licorice within three days."

"Yes, master."

Three days later, Imperial Physician Wang held the stinging licorice as if he had found a treasure, "Master Rong is saved! He is saved!"

This stinging licorice is not a panacea, but a wonderful herb for repairing the stomach. With it, you can take medicine and recuperate from the inside, and you don't have to suffer from the steamer.

"Brother..." Rong Lan woke up in a daze, his whole body was in pain, and his chest seemed to be blocked by a big stone, making him unable to breathe. He called Rong Xuan, his eyes still closed.

"Xiaolan? Xiaolan? Big brother is here! You can see it when you open your eyes." Rong Xuan held Rong Lan's hand tightly, and Rong Lan kept talking in his sleep, every time he changed from full of hope to despair , He didn't know if Rong Lan really woke up this time, or just another unconscious whisper.

Rong Lan shook Rong Xuan's hand back, signaling that she was awake, and then withdrew her hand.Although after getting along for a long time, he has already regarded Rong Xuan as a relative, and the physical contact does not feel as awkward as it was at the beginning, but he still can't stand Rong Xuan always taking care of him like Lin's younger sister.

After a while, he opened his eyes after he got used to the light: "Brother, I can't die anyway, you don't have to always guard me from now on."

Rong Xuan was originally happy that Rong Lan finally woke up, but when he just opened his mouth to say this, his face darkened instantly, and he said angrily: "Who allows you to say the word 'death'?!"

It was probably the first time for Rong Lan to see Rong Xuan get angry. He looked at Rong Xuan and saw that Rong Xuan's gentle and gentle eyebrows were sometimes sharp and serious. He regretted his casual words, but he is the protagonist of the game, so he will definitely not die , at most the blood bar is low, relying on drowsiness to restore blood.

"I won't talk about it in the future. Brother, don't be angry." Rong Lan tugged at the corner of Rong Xuan's clothes, trying to curry favor and show weakness.

Rong Xuan's face was still gloomy, and he supported Rong Lan to sit up: "The emperor asked me to tell you that he is ready to let you enter the palace immediately after waking up."

What Rong Xuan said was quite ambiguous, but Chong Yi's original words were just like that, no wonder even Rong Shen thought wrongly along with him.

Rong Lan hesitated for a moment, then asked without thinking: "Brother, where is father? If I disobey the order and disrespect, will he beat me up again? Let him beat me up again! I won't enter the palace!" "

"Xiao Lan, you..." Rong Xuan didn't expect Rong Lan to refuse, thinking that after the incident of breaking into the palace last night, Rong Lan was afraid of hurting the Rong family again, and would rather accept the family law than have any wrongdoing with the emperor. Thinking about it, I can't help but feel even more distressed.

When Rong Shen heard that his son woke up, he walked into Rong Lan's room for the first time in days, and when he entered the room, he heard Rong Lan yelling that he was going to be beaten, and he felt very uncomfortable: "Why, Dad beat you, and you still want to take revenge on Dad No?"

Rong Lan raised her head and looked at Rong Shen who was approaching, with sincere eyes: "Father, you deserved the fight, how can the son hold grudges? In fact, the son has always felt that he lacks discipline, which is why he has become what he is now. Why don't you use it a few more times?" If the family law whips the son, the son may become a man!"

What Rong Lan said spoke from the bottom of her heart, but it was a pity that she heard irony in Rong Shen's ears. It was her son who changed the way to make him feel sad and guilty.

"You—!" Rong Shen looked at his youngest son who had become obstinate as soon as he woke up, and suddenly became angry again, "You think that with the emperor as a backer, your father won't dare to beat you up!"

Rong Xuan grasped Rong Shen Gaoyang's palm: "Father! Do you really want to kill Xiao Lan to regret it?"

Rong Shen sighed heavily, shook off Rong Xuan's hand, turned around and said to the butler Rong Shi: "Hurry up and pack up that Nizi and enter the palace! Don't let me see him again!"

Rong Lan was full of confidence to recruit family law again, but unexpectedly failed, the dull pain in his heart became more and more intense, and he still couldn't figure out why Chong Yi would ask him to enter the palace after agreeing to the deal with him, and he was already entering the palace. The palace's carriage boarded.

It took three quarters of an hour from Rong's mansion to the palace, and because Rong Lan's body and carriage were slow, at most it would take an extra quarter of an hour.

Along the way, Rong Lan felt unwell and didn't want to talk, but Rong Xuan was also rarely silent, and it was rare that he didn't take the initiative to approach Rong Lan.

The two of them sat on one side of the carriage, until the palace gate guards stopped the carriage for inspection, Rong Xuan leaned over and hugged Rong Lan: "Elder brother can't enter the palace without the emperor's decree, take good care of yourself, elder brother is gone."

Rong Xuan's embrace was as warm as ever, but this time the warmth came a bit short, and it was a bit inexplicable.

Rong Lan looked up at Rong Xuan, not knowing why the sudden sadness of parting was happening, she endured the dull pain in her chest and said with a smile: "Brother, it's not like I'm never going back to Rong's mansion again. Why do you look like you are parting from life and death?"

Rong Xuan hesitated a little when he got up, and reached out to pat Rong Lan's head: "Brother should be happy for you, you have been thinking about this day since you were ten years old. Now that your wish has come true, I am afraid that you will not be able to find it once you are proud." Bei, what trouble did you cause?"

"It's all messed up." Rong Lan tilted her head to avoid Rong Xuan's touch, "I was not allowed to sleep in the middle of the night, and I have to enter the palace now, I feel uncomfortable!" He exaggeratedly covered his heart with his hands.

Seeing that Rong Xuan didn't linger any longer, he just smiled fondly, turned around and got off the carriage: "When you see the emperor, you can pretend to be sick, he will definitely take pity on you, just like a big brother."

Rong Lan was not as relaxed as Rong Xuan said, he was really uncomfortable, but he was not a coquettish person, seeing that Rong Xuan was unmoved, he didn't intend to take him back to Rong's mansion. Difficult things are so urgent for him to enter the palace.

He didn't speak any more, watched Rong Xuan leave, and honestly let the carriage pull him through the long palace road.

It was colder at night, and he shivered, lamenting that it would be impossible to ask for punishment, and lamenting that the emperor was not easy to do, and he had to worry about the whole country in the middle of the night.

When Rong Lan was introduced into the imperial study by Zhang De, the scene inside proved that his prediction was good, but it was not accurate enough.

In the middle of the night, not only the emperor was anxious about the country, but also officials and courtiers from all walks of life.

The imperial study room was brightly lit and full of people standing there. There was a military general kneeling in the middle, and the atmosphere was tense.

"Your Majesty, the last general doesn't know the exact situation. It's just that the number of people reported by the magistrate of Qi County was [-]. Unexpectedly, when Mr. Peng arrived there, he found that the number of victims was far more than this number. There was not enough relief supplies, and another incident happened again. The avalanche, that's... that's what caused the looting of the victims, which led to the riots. When the incident happened suddenly, the Cheng County Guard led troops to suppress the mob, and the general thought it was a helpless act."

Zhong Yi on the high seat didn't say a word, but Rong Lan could tell from his eyes that he was very angry.

It's not the right time!The emperor has always had a good ability to blame people, he doesn't want to be cannon fodder.

Rong Lan thought about it, so he slowed down his pace and lowered his sense of existence. Unexpectedly, the sky failed to fulfill his wish, and he took another small step before hearing Chong Yi's displeasure: "Why don't you hurry up here?"

Rong Lan reluctantly quickened his pace, hesitating whether to kneel down and salute. Compared with cannon fodder, he didn't want to faint again, he really had enough of fainting.

Fortunately, Chong Yi was reasonable, and soon said again: "The ceremony will be spared, and I will explain to the adults what you wrote."

Before Rong Lan could raise his head, Zhang De had already presented the "Post-Disaster Strategies" in front of his eyes.He looked at the densely packed formulas written by himself on the paper, frowned for a while and said, "This...explaining this, the daylilies will probably be cold when the adults understand."

From the general's words, Rong Lan already guessed that there was a snow disaster in a place called Qi County.Such a matter should be extremely urgent, and it is obviously unrealistic for him to explain these formulas clearly at this moment.

The formulas are used to calculate the distribution ratio of disaster relief materials, and the probability is related to the calculation of how to weigh the relationship between local self-rescue and central dispatch, and how to more effectively record the flow of disaster relief funds, so as to prevent illegal officials from taking the opportunity to make a fortune in national calamity.

The most important thing is that if these formulas want to be really useful, they need to read the disaster records of previous years, plus field investigations and data collection before they can be estimated.And there is no computer here, only relying on manpower, and the results cannot be obtained without much effort.

So, under Zhong Yi's menacing eyes, he said something very brain-dead and helpless that he regretted in the next few months.
