[Red Mansion] Raiders of the heir

Lin Wei went back to the Lin Mansion before sunset, feeling a little worried after seeing Lin Hai's appearance, and wanted to tell Daiyu a few words, but Daiyu hadn't come back at this time.Lin Wei watched Shu Yun and the others busy packing their luggage, while thinking about things absent-mindedly, his mind became a mess, and it took him a while to clear his mind, and then he asked They prepared a car and went to Rongguo Mansion to pick up Daiyu.

Besides, Daiyu originally agreed to return to the mansion this day, but because of the Xue family's entry into Beijing, the whole Rongguo mansion was in a mess, and it seemed that everyone was too busy. Busy and bustling to welcome the Xue family, Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang talked and laughed with the Xue family's mother and daughter again, but couldn't open their mouths.Thinking that Lin Wei would come to pick her up in person if she didn't go back after school, so he let go of his thoughts and just silently watched the group of people smiling.

Just thinking about how long it would take for Lin Wei to get home, Daiyu's glance saw Xizhao coming in from the door. Xizhao entered the house to greet Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang first, and then said to Daiyu: "Miss, sir I’m going to Yunnan, and I’m afraid I’m going to leave before dark, so I’m told to come and pick you up, saying that there are some things to discuss.”

"Going to Yunnan?" Daiyu was startled, couldn't sit still any longer, got up to say goodbye to Jiamu, and said, "Grandmother, my younger brother is going away in such a hurry all of a sudden, I have to go back and have a look."

After listening to Jia's mother's repeated orders for people to follow, she called the man who took the clothes and prepared the car, and sent Wang Xifeng around.Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were both talking in Jia Mu's room at the moment, seeing that Bi Yuan and Lan Die were taking clothes and serving the stove, and putting Daiyu on in an orderly manner, they didn't seem flustered at all.Daiyu saw that Jiamu was just calling this and that, so she pulled the apricot-colored snow fox fur coat on her body, and said with a smile, "Grandmother don't need to worry. Since Weier sent someone to pick her up, everything must be ready. I'll go back first, so I don't need to make them busy."

Mother Jia told Daiyu to tidy up Lin Wei's life. Seeing that she was all dressed, Fang nodded and said, "Go, it's still early and the sun is still warm outside, so come back earlier and call Wei'er." Be careful on the road."

Daiyu thanked Jia Mu and resigned from the crowd, and Wang Xifeng sent her out in person as usual, and did not turn around until she was settled in the car. Daiyu then took the time to ask Xizhao, "Well, why did you leave so suddenly, but when you came out?" What's the matter?"

"The uncle said that the emperor ordered it, and it seems to be related to Prince Rui. I don't know what the specifics are, but he seems very anxious. The uncle is worried about the master, so he told me to pick up the girl and go back as soon as possible. That's all. The uncle has been restless since he came back from the palace, and the girl will see you for a while and say a few words of relief, as long as the uncle can listen to the girl's words." Xi Zhao has never been very relieved, and is used to seeing each other. Lin Weitian's character of calmly finding a place to hide when the sky collapses, this time he has been frizzy all the time. I'm afraid that something serious happened to the prince, otherwise the emperor would ask him, an eleven or twelve-year-old child, to go far away?

Daiyu also felt that something serious might happen, so she couldn't help being a little anxious, so she quietly lifted a corner of the soft curtain at the small window of the sedan chair and looked out, wanting to see where the sedan chair had arrived.However, just as Daiyu raised a small corner, she saw two young men riding tall horses passing by the side of the sedan chair.Both of them are well dressed, one blue and one purple feel noble and calm.The man in purple had a fierce and domineering expression, while the man in green was serious and dignified. He looked like an extraordinary person.The two seemed to have sensed the commotion at this time, they both turned their heads, their six eyes met and all three were startled, Daiyu was startled and hastily put down the soft curtain.

Besides, these two people are not the same, but they are Tu Hong and Qiu Liang. Tu Hong sent Shui Rong and Lin Wei back to pack up, and asked the eunuch Xia Shouzhong to arrange the luggage for Qiu Liang himself. After walking around the Qing Palace for a few times, he dragged Qiu Liang to the Prince's Mansion in Beijing, saying: "I don't care about anything else, Shui Rong hasn't come here for so long, what are you going to do to see it?"

Qiu Liang: "..."

Now that I have become an emperor, I still think that one place is one place, but what should I do!

So these two people left the others, one led a horse and left the palace, wandered to the Beijing Prince's Mansion, and then met Daiyu on the street.

Although it was just a glimpse, both of them couldn't help but secretly lamented that the woman was not vulgar in appearance, but she didn't know whose family it was.However, walking all the way, seeing the sedan chair enter the gate of Lin Mansion, Tu Hong and Qiu Liang looked at each other and blinked, Tu Hong asked, "Which Lin Mansion is this?"

"It's Lord Lin Hai's house, Lord, we're going in the wrong direction." Qiu Liang finally caught the chance to speak, and hurriedly said.It's still the emperor, it's so embarrassing to follow the girl's sedan chair all the way!

Tu Hong nodded, and said: "Oh, Lin Hai has taken a month's leave, I'll go and see if I'm done."

Qiu Liang: "..." Your majesty, don't be convulsed!

Seeing Xizhao stepping into the door and saying that she has picked up Daiyu, Lin Wei was about to go inside when Tingfeng came in again and said, "Master, two young masters came outside and said they were your classmates."

Lin Wei: "..."

Who are his classmates?The thirteenth master is here?

"Welcome to sit in the flower hall, I'll go right away." Lin Wei didn't dare to neglect, put on fur clothes and hurried to the flower hall, but was a little surprised when he saw that the people who came were Tu Hong and Qiu Liang, and hurriedly saluted, "Emperor... "

Tu Hong waved his hands and sat down on his own, and asked, "No need to be too polite, how are things going?"

"It's healed, but my uncle is sick now, and my sister just came back from the Rongguo Mansion. I was thinking of going to the palace after a few words of advice." Lin Wei waited for Shu Yun to serve tea, and ordered, "Go and talk to me." Uncle said, the emperor..."

"Don't bother, since your uncle is unwell, just ask him to rest, and I'll come over for a walk." It was only now that Tu Hong realized that he had really gone the wrong way. This little bastard had never been pleasing to his eyes. What did he say, he came to the Lin Mansion for no reason and had nothing to discuss, it was embarrassing after all.

Qiu Liang saw Tu Hong's embarrassment at this moment, so he could only cheer up and ask, "Master Lin is in better health? I have been resting from this illness for a month, what did the imperial doctor say?"

Lin Weidao: "The imperial doctor said that it's just that she was too tired and suffered from the wind and cold, and it can take a while to recuperate slowly."

Tu Hong nodded, and suddenly asked: "When the emperor went south, he asked me to take care of you. Now Lin Hai is sick in bed, and you are leaving again. If you need anything, don't hide it, just tell me."

Lin Wei shook his head in a daze, showing a grateful look and said: "Thank you, the emperor, for your compassion. I can rest assured that I have a sister at home, and I don't dare to worry about the emperor."

Lin Wei was surprised by the emperor's sudden visit, so he refused to say a word, only thinking that he could not fulfill any important orders, or was he preparing a trap for him again?However, the three of them were just chatting, and that Tu Hong got up and said, "You go and arrange it, and the water solution should be cleaned up now, I have something to tell him, hurry up on the way, go early back."

Lin Wei inexplicably sent the two of them out, and replied respectfully: "Yes."

Qiu Liang patted Lin Wei's shoulder sympathetically, followed Tu Hong's footsteps and walked out. Chang'an brought a horse to serve him. The two left the mansion. Lin Wei watched their figures disappear at the intersection, Fang turned back and asked Chang'an Said: "What did they say when they came?"

Chang'an was surprised and said: "It is said that he is a classmate of the master, so I didn't dare to be negligent so I asked someone to ask for the master, and I dare not ask other questions." Lin Wei shrugged and went to find Daiyu in the back, thinking about it. Maybe the emperor just went to the wrong place for a while?But, didn’t the Beijing Palace turn left at the intersection ahead? The wooden sign at the entrance of Pomegranate Alley had someone steal it back and burn firewood?

Qiu Liang followed Tu Hong all the way into Pomegranate Alley, looked at the vermilion lacquered gate of the Beijing Palace from afar, and finally sighed belatedly: "That's Miss Lin's family!"

Tu Hong: "..."

Let's say that at dusk that day, Lin Wei finally followed Shui Rong and Qiu Liang on the road, the three of them ate and slept all the way non-stop, and finally arrived in Kunming before noon on the seventh day.Yuxi City, which is adjacent to Kunming, is the city where the epidemic broke out. Among them, Jiangchuan County and the adjacent Huaning County are the most serious, and Tuyan is currently in Jiangcheng.The three of them traveled all the way, but they saw that the city of Kunming was extremely depressed, there were very few pedestrians on the streets, and there was no sign of prosperity at all.

Shui Rong didn't go to the governor's yamen of Yunnan and Guizhou, but ordered someone to investigate. Seeing that Kunming was not threatened by the epidemic, he took Lin Wei and Qiu Liang and continued to drive for half a day to Jiangcheng.Now this Jiangcheng is a dead city, the city gates are closed and the city is hidden in the twilight, and the blood-red setting sun is half falling behind the city towers, and it looks tragic from afar.

There were only two guards walking back and forth on the tower, and when they saw a group of people approaching, they shouted from a distance: "The people below are foreigners, right? Where did they come from? Where are they going? Go back the way you came, and take the small path on both sides of the fork in front of you, and the prohibition has been issued, this Jiangcheng is now sealed, and this gate will not be opened again."

Qiu Liang took out a token from his waist, rode his horse to the city, jumped off his horse, shook it at the guards on the tower, threw it up, and said loudly: "See clearly, we are from the capital!" , don’t hurry to open the city gate.”

The two people on the city tower looked closely at the gold medal they received in their hands, and suddenly their eyes lit up, and they ran away without turning around. Lin Wei watched the two disappear in astonishment, and soon saw the person on the right side of the city gate. The little door creaked open.The two soldiers who were guarding on the tower just came out to greet them, stood still at a distance, then knelt down with a thud, and said in a trembling voice: "Little one welcomes the lord, is the lord here to pick up the prince? You can count it, you can come!" !"

Lin Wei looked at the desolate and desolate state in the doorway, his heart trembled and even his eyes were inexplicably damp, followed Qiu Liang to help the two people up, Shui Rong had already come out of the sedan chair, and asked : "How is the situation in the city now?"

Qiu Liang said: "This is the Prince of Beijing."

The guard stood up, his eyes were already red, he glanced at Lin Wei, his eyes lit up instantly, and Fang said: "Go back to the lord, the uninfected people have been transferred out, and they are all settled properly. What is left is that the condition is serious and there is no way to save it, so does the lord want to go in? Or let the two of us go inside to hold lord Rui?"

"Prince Rui... No need, lead the way." Shui Rong said.

"Yes." The guard seemed to be in an extremely unstable mood, hesitantly walking ahead, Lin Wei thought about the man's reaction just now, and finally grabbed the skirt of the other man while he was not paying attention.The man turned his head to look at him, and the two slowly slowed down their pace. Lin Wei asked in a low voice, "How is the prince? Are you the guards on the tower or are you following the prince?"

"The servant has met Young Master Wei, the servant is the prince's personal guard, and he came from the capital." The man said, "The guards in the city were the first to catch the disease, and now there are no one, the prince asked us to come here in turn. Standing guard on the city tower. The prince is really not good these few days, and I dare not say it, young master Wei should go and have a look."

Lin Wei's heart sank, and he asked unwillingly: "There are no doctors in this city? What about the imperial doctor brought by Mr.? What did you say? How did the epidemic start at this time? What are the symptoms? You tell me in detail. talk about it."

The man said: "First, there was a heavy rain, which lasted for several months, and every house was damp and moldy. At that time, the prince was still in Kunming, and the doctor Wu said that it was not good, so the prince asked the doctors in the city to distribute medicines door to door. Diagnosed and prevented the epidemic, and ordered all states and counties to follow suit. Later, it was suddenly discovered that a large number of people in Yuxi City were pouring out. The prince asked someone to investigate and found out that there was a seasonal epidemic. Go home separately, if anyone who acts outside without permission is all imprisoned, and then control Jiangchuan County and Huaning County after going door-to-door. The prince handed over the patients too frequently. He was infected, and when the officials withdrew later, the prince stayed by himself. At first, it was just a symptom of sweating, fever, dizziness and tinnitus, but the prince insisted that the director delay the treatment, and now he has been bedridden for more than ten days. For a few days, I was unconscious and woke up very little, only the doctor Wu was there to attend, and no one else... the prince's house was allowed to let others in."

Lin Wei could hardly breathe. Seeing that there were no pedestrians on the street, only lime was sprinkled everywhere to suppress and destroy the virus, she knew that besides Wu Taiyi, there were probably other doctors in this city, so she didn't ask any more questions. Only a few people walked forward.

When everyone arrived at the place where Tu Yan was staying, there were only two guards guarding the door, and Lin Wei's face became even more ugly. Could it be that Tu Yan is really planning to commit suicide here? !

This is a courtyard with three entrances, it is exquisite and elegant but it is really small, it is not the same as Tu Yan's palace.However, after entering the second gate, what comes into view is a double-storey attic surrounded by water, and four white jade stone bridges lead to the flower garden in the courtyard, which is similar to the Lin family's Zizhu Pavilion in Yangzhou.Lin Wei's eyes lit up and he walked towards the attic, and Shui Rong and the others followed when they saw it.

Shui Rong pushed away the Imperial Physician Wu who was blocking Tu Yan's bedroom and refused to let him in, and led Qiu Liang and Lin Wei into the quiet room.The windows on all sides are half-opened upwards, and a thin wind blows in softly. On the Eight Immortals table of huanghuali wood, the incense of wormwood is faintly burning, and the wind is graceful, making the room quiet and quiet.

Inside the tobacco soft tent, Tu Yan was sleeping with his eyes closed with a peaceful face.Her thin lips were tightly pressed, her face was pale, and the uneven collarbone under the brocade quilt made her fair neck look thinner and thinner. Even in her sleep, her uneasy and trembling eyelashes were still seductive.A slender hand was exposed outside the brocade quilt, and the fingers were as translucent as jade, which made people feel dazed.

Lin Wei walked over with a numb brain, holding Tu Yan's fingers and trembling in his heart, Shui Rong carefully looked at Tu Yan's face, exchanged a glance with Qiu Liang, and then they went out, went to the outer room and asked the doctor Wu what was going on now? how.

Tu Yan moved his fingers uneasily, Lin Wei's eyelids twitched, and he called out softly, "Sir..."

Tu Yan slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Lin Wei, a puzzled expression appeared on his face, his pale and dry lips twitched, and his expression was actually blank.Seeing him like this, Lin Wei couldn't bear it any longer, and after a while, she burst into tears with a "wow", crying like heaven and earth fell apart.

Tu Yan looked at Lin Wei steadfastly, and suddenly hooked his fingers in his palm. Lin Wei cried out, wiped away her tears, lowered her head, leaned over to Tu Yan's face to look at his description, and shouted in doubt :"gentlemen?"

At this moment, Tu Yan came back to his senses, gently pushed Lin Wei's face away, and smiled slightly.

Lin Wei was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickered for a while, and then he began to cry earth-shatteringly: "Wow..."

Tu Yan: "..."
