Lin Jue thought: You think so, the prescription is a treasure, the prescription is in my hand, I have the initiative. Who am I if I offer the prescription?
"Eunuch Qian, it's not that I don't want to donate, it's that I have concerns. First, this is medicine for the emperor, so you can't be careless. The prescription is a prescription, but when brewing, you need to control the heat and the amount of medicine. . The prescription is dead, but the person is alive. Therefore, pills cannot be made by just anyone. Otherwise, what do doctors have to do? Everyone just takes the prescription and makes medicine for themselves. Because there are experienced doctors The doctor controls it, decreases or increases it, and increases or decreases the dosage according to the condition of the disease, so that the condition can be cured. If I offer this prescription, if the imperial doctors don't know how to adapt it when preparing it, wouldn't it mean that the emperor's disease will not be cured? Benefits. I come to deliver the medicine every few days, so that it can be adjusted according to the progress of the emperor's condition. This is the best. To be honest with the emperor and father-in-law, I am not able to prepare this medicine. , I don’t have that ability yet, there is someone else.”
Guo Chong nodded and said: "What you said is reasonable. I think what Lin Jue said is reasonable."
Qian Delu frowned and said, "Just invite that person to the palace."
Lin Jue hurriedly waved his hands and said: "That can't be done. Your Majesty, please don't be angry. This elder has a weird temper. If he heard that this was medicine for the Emperor, he might not be willing to brew it. I kept it secret from him. There are all kinds of people in this world. If a coerced person is not sweet, is it possible that we have to force him to do it? That is not a good thing. If he is not happy, it would be bad if he does some tricks in the medicine. "
Qian Delu was startled and quickly shut up.
Guo Chong nodded and said: "There are thousands of kinds of people in the world, but not all of them are loyal to me. I understand. Otherwise, no one would rebel. It is better to follow what Lin Jue said, don't let him know that it is me who wants to eat The medicine is good."
Lin Jue cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is wise, but I also have my own selfish motives. In addition to the above reasons, I don't want the pill to pass through the hands of others. After all, I have a huge stake in it. Just like tonight, please The emperor tests the medicine, but I risk my life and property. If the medicine doesn't work, don't I have to kill all the people in my family? From this point of view, I can't hand over the prescription. Once someone else gets it, what will happen? Damn it, I can't escape the relationship without arguing. It's better for me to deliver the medicine in person, without going through other people's hands, so as to ensure that there will be no mistakes. It will be beneficial to the emperor's illness, and I will feel at ease. Your Majesty, do you think you are right?"
Guo Chong laughed loudly, pointed at Lin Jue and said with a smile: "You are sincere and told the truth. The fact that you can say such things shows that you are sincere in your heart. What you said is also human nature. I don't know how to do it. I am forcing you to take out the prescription, but you have to deliver the medicine in time. If you are short of medicine, need some silver or something, go to Qian Delu. Qian Delu, you have to make sure that Lin Jue has what he wants, and help him do this. .”
Qian Delu bowed and responded: "I obey your order."
…
At the fourth watch, Lin Jue and Bai Bing left the palace gate. What surprised Lin Jue was that in front of Daqing Gate, Sun Dayong was waiting with more than a dozen guards at the gate of the palace. After Sun Dayong returned to the house to report, he came with his troops. Waiting for Lin Jue in front of the palace gate. After experiencing everything that happened in Prince Huai's Mansion tonight, Sun Dayong decided to strengthen the protection of everyone in the Lin Mansion. When Lin Jue entered the palace, he had to bring someone to escort him back to the palace to avoid anything going wrong. More than a dozen people rode along the road. He rushed back home along the empty street. The night breeze was cold, and although Lin Jue's heart was still heavy, it had eased a lot. The medicine was effective, which was great news for Lin Jue. If Guo Chong's illness could be cured, , Lin Jue will benefit greatly from it. Maybe in the past, Lin Jue did not have much desire for official fame, but now, Lin Jue really feels the importance of all this. Sometimes he has to follow the crowd and has no choice but to Don't seize power, otherwise you will always be in a position of being passively beaten. Just like what Guo Xu did to himself. If he had the authority of Yang Jun or Lu Zhongtian, how would Guo Xu dare to treat himself like this?
When they returned to the mansion, as expected, none of the Lin family girls fell asleep, and they all gathered in the back hall to wait. Seeing that Lin Jue had returned safely, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief. Lin Jue did not hide anything, and briefly told what happened.
and the matter of trying the pills on the emperor. When the girls heard that the medicine was useful to the emperor, they were all happy. It was not because the emperor was saved, but because they all knew what they would get if their husbands could cure the emperor's disease.
return.
Although this is good news, the news that Lu Wu and Lin Hu were imprisoned in Prince Huai's Mansion was finally confirmed. It is impossible for the husband to agree to the three conditions of Prince Huai, so how should Lu Wu and Lin Hu be rescued?
This has become a big problem. This is what all the girls are worried about. They all know the position of Lu Wu in Lin Jue's mind, not to mention that Lu Wu's identity is not just the maid who has served Lin Jue since he was growing up.
, but more noble than all others. It is absolutely impossible to leave Green Dance alone.
The little princess tentatively asked Lin Jue about this matter. Lin Jue was noncommittal and only said that he would find a way and did not answer their questions in detail. The girls did not dare to ask more questions and only hid their doubts in their hearts.
It was not until after the fifth watch that the girls went back to their rooms to rest, and the Lin family's back house calmed down. Lin Jue sat alone in the small hall of the back house, drinking tea and meditating until daybreak.
…
The sun is shining, and a new day has arrived. It’s just past half-hour in the morning, and an inconspicuous restaurant nestled among the trees on Bianhe North Street has opened its doors and welcomed its first batch of customers. This is Yude Building, one of the most famous restaurants in Bianliang City.
It is an eye-catching but extremely secretive restaurant. It only serves regular customers and is one of the restaurants that absolutely guarantees privacy. In this kind of place, guests can enter and exit alone, have separate passages, and have dedicated security guards to prevent anyone from following them. Non-regular customers are not welcome. All of this
All measures are taken to create an extremely safe place for meetings and discussions, which is also the characteristic of this type of restaurant. Compared with Fanlou and Panlou, although they do not have the grandeur and extravagant style of their appearance,
But it is not inferior to them at all. The consumption here is often several times higher than that of Fan Tower and Pan Tower. This is a low-key and expensive security place. The selling point is absolute security and guaranteed privacy.
This was not the first time Lin Jue visited Yude Building, but the last time he visited was more than a year ago. That time, in order to save Lin Bonian, his second uncle, he hosted a banquet for Yan Zhengshu and Fang Dunru at Yude Building to discuss a deal.
Transaction. It was not a pleasant memory, but how pleasant could it be to come to such a place to talk about things? If it were not a secret and difficult matter that could not be known to outsiders, how could it be possible to come to such a place?
A place to eat and drink? Isn't Fanlou and Panlou a more suitable place for consumption and entertainment? Lin Jue is a member of Yude House. This is of course a gift from the palace. Yude House only serves members. To put it bluntly, his status is not enough.
They don't care about you. Lin Jue was qualified because of the young prince's recommendation, so he could set up a banquet in an independent box in the east building of Yude Building and wait for the guests he invited to arrive.
At three o'clock, in the quiet tree-lined streets downstairs, the nursing home of Yude Building led two people to go upstairs from the back stairs. After they entered the door, they found Lin Jue standing at the door with his hands clasped and smiling.
Welcome.
"Brother Ma, Brother Shen, welcome. Please take a seat." Lin Jue said with a smile.
The visitors were none other than Ma Bin and Shen Tan. Lin Jue invited them here today to discuss the matter of rescuing Lu Wu and Lin Hu.
"Brother Lin, you are very capable. I have been in the capital for so many years. I have heard of Yude Building, but I have never been in it. I have no qualifications at all. I didn't expect Brother Lin to be a regular customer of this restaurant. Today I finally fulfilled my long-cherished wish and can come in and take a look, hahaha." Ma Bin laughed loudly.
Shen Tan rolled his eyes. Although this brother was an old man in the capital, he was a country bumpkin. He had never even been to Yude Tower. This showed that he was not doing well in the official circles of the capital and could not integrate into the mainstream circles. Go, no one takes him to play. Shen Tan has been to this place many times with the prince and the young prince. He has also gone to not only Yude House, but also Zhengde House, Fengde House and several other restaurants of the same nature. pass.
"Brother Ma was joking. This place is not a good place, but it's just more convenient for talking and talking. Didn't the two brothers feel it when they came?" Lin Jue said with a smile.
"That's not the case. Hey, there were several trains on the road, and there were people who were there to cover them. They were very careful. Even if someone was watching, they were all caught. I knew Yudelou's methods. At the time, I In the Imperial City Division, everyone knows every corner of the city. Who is meeting and talking to whom can basically be found out. But in a place like Yude Building, you never know who is talking to whom. We drink and talk inside. I can't keep up with you, and I can't get in. It's very evil." Ma Bin chuckled.
Shen Tan smiled and said: "This is how people make a living, otherwise who would patronize them? All restaurants of this type have a background. Let me tell you a secret, the servants in this restaurant are either deaf or mute, just to ensure privacy. . Even if someone asks, they can’t tell anything.”
Ma Bin smacked his lips and said in shock: "Fuck. Damn, are you so evil?"
Lin Jue laughed loudly and said: "Brother Shen lied to you, how could such a thing happen? These places just pay more attention to the privacy of their guests. This is their foundation, so they do it professionally and meticulously. Others It’s nothing. Look at this place, it’s just an ordinary private room, and the food and wine are just average.”
Ma Bin raised his hand to hit Shen Tan, and said in a feint of anger: "You Shen Lao Er, you are old and young, right? How dare you tease your eldest brother."
Shen Tan hurriedly raised his hands and said with a smile: "Brother, calm down, I'm wrong. Let's just sit down and sit down. Brother Lin must have something important to say when he invites us to a place like this. Don't delay the business."
"Yes, yes, that's right." Ma Bin nodded.
Lin Jue smiled and invited the two of them to sit down. The food and wine were put on the table and the drinks were poured. Lin Jue raised his glass and toasted to the two of them.
