The memorial was sent to the imperial study, and Li Er began to take down a copy from the top and process it locally.
In the middle of the process, Zhao Yang, the chamberlain, suddenly rushed in and said in a panic: "Your Majesty... it's not good... it's not good, the queen fainted again!"
Wow.
Li Er immediately threw away the memorial in his hand and hurried out.
…
Research center.
Du He looked at a sundial in the yard, and then looked outside. The street was bustling and bustling, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Wang Erniu and others stood nearby, not daring to express their anger.
Suddenly, Du He waved his hand: "Open for sale!"
Wow.
Behind him, a dozen people in Tsing Yi immediately ran out pushing wheelbarrows.
Every wheelbarrow is filled with copies of Datang Xinbao.
…
"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers!"
"Datang Xinbao, King of Medicine conducted an experiment and found that if close relatives marry, their offspring will get sick!"
"If close relatives marry, their children will become idiots..."
In the streets of Chang'an City, half-grown children were holding stacks of thick newspapers and shouting.
Will marrying close relatives make you a fool?
This news spread like locusts, and soon it swept through the entire city of Chang'an.
If an unknown junior said it, everyone would just take it as a joke.
If it was Du He who said it, everyone would just think that Du He was playing a prank.
But this is what the famous King of Medicine said, and he came to the conclusion after conducting experiments.
For a time, the entire city of Chang'an was in panic.
…
Sikong Mansion.
The housekeeper walked to the hall with a thick stack of newspapers in his arms and said to Changsun Wuji, who was studying: "Master, this is today's Datang News. I originally wanted to buy 500 copies, but the newspaper sold very well today.
, I only bought 200 copies and they were all sold out!”
Changsun Wuji put down the book in his hand and said: "Isn't this a good thing? That guy Du He tricked me and asked me to buy 500 copies of this newspaper every time. Although it cost money, the recent newspapers did not write about our Sikong Mansion.
It's a bad thing, but it's also a good thing... Since I bought 300 fewer copies today, it means I spent less money, isn't that a good thing?"
Changsun Wuji's mood suddenly became wonderful, as if he had taken advantage of him.
The butler asked: "Sir, do you still read this newspaper?"
"If you don't want to read it, throw it away. I don't want to read such boring newspapers!" Changsun Wuji waved his hand.
The housekeeper said: "But... today's newspaper is very special. It is said that the King of Medicine studied mice and discovered something new."
"Yao Wang is so old that if he insists on following Du He's mischief, let him do so!"
The housekeeper said cautiously: "This new thing is about the marriage of close relatives!"
"It's nothing new. It's probably just to fool the people. This close relative... Chengchengcheng..." Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, suddenly turned around and said, "Bring it here quickly, let me take a look!"
Changsun Wuji couldn't wait to grab a newspaper from the butler's hand and started reading.
The headline on the front page is about the marriage of close relatives.
When he saw the words "According to research, if blood relatives marry within three generations, there is a 60% chance that the offspring will suffer from various diseases." Changsun Wuji felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was stunned.
"This...isn't this nonsense?" Changsun Wuji said in disbelief.
…
Royal Palace.
Hall of Wende.
The queen who fainted finally regained consciousness after an hour under the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctors.
Seeing this, Li Er waved his hand and drove everyone else away.
Li Er stepped forward, walked up to him, took Changsun Wugu's hand, and said distressedly: "Guanyin maid, the imperial doctors have said that your illness is caused by a heart disease, caused by an anxious fire attacking the heart. You should be more open-minded.
Bar."
A smile appeared on Empress Changsun's pale face: "Your Majesty, are you really unwilling to talk about Lizhi and Chong'er's marriage?"
Li Er said pitifully: "Mr. Guanyin, as long as you can get better, I will promise you anything."
"Your Majesty... I knew that you doted on me the most... In this case, as soon as I get better, you will issue an edict as soon as possible to marry the beauty to Chong'er. How about it?" the queen said with great expectation.
Li Er saw this and nodded.
After receiving Li Er's affirmative answer, Queen Changsun's complexion immediately improved, as if all her ailments no longer existed.
At this time, a palace maid came in and said: "Your Majesty, Queen, Lord Changsun wants to see you!"
Before Li Er could speak, Empress Changsun said: "Please!"
Immediately, she said: "In addition to coming to see me, my brother is probably here because of Chong'er and Li Zhi's affairs. Your Majesty, looking at the world, only our eldest grandson's family is the most loyal, and only Chong'er is worthy of Li Zhi...
…”
While he was talking, Changsun Wuji had already walked in, walking in a hurry.
Li Er said: "Auxiliary engine, why are you in such a hurry?"
Queen Changsun said: "Brother, Your Majesty has promised to marry Chong'er and marry her beauty to Sikong Mansion after I get better. You must be very happy to hear this news!"
As she said that, she looked at Changsun Wuji expectantly.
However, there was no joy on Changsun Wuji's face.
Changsun Wuji looked bitter and said, "Your Majesty, Queen... I'm afraid I can't mention this matter again."
Suddenly, both Li Er and Queen Changsun showed doubts.
Wow.
Changsun Wuji took out the newspaper in one go.
Li Er took it and put it in front of Queen Changsun. When the two of them took a closer look, they suddenly looked horrified.
Empress Changsun read: "Marriage between close relatives... Marriage between close relatives... How could this happen? How could this happen..."
Plop.
Suddenly, Queen Changsun fainted.
Suddenly, the entire Wende Hall was in chaos again.
…
Lai Kingdom Government House.
study.
Du Ruhui looked at Du He seriously.
There is a table between the two of them, and there is a newspaper on the table, which is today's Datang Xinbao.
Du Ruhui said without a smile: "He'er, do you know what you are doing..."
"Dad, of course I know it very well."
"You are shaking things up, do you know... In less than half a day, the entire Chang'an City is discussing this matter."
Du He said: "I had expected it, but I didn't expect that people would be so interested in this. Just now, I was passing by on the street, and two illiterate old men were discussing this matter... One person said that his chickens are not as good as one every year.
He is getting dumber every year, and it must be because of incest. One person said that the son of his second uncle’s third uncle’s cousin married his own cousin, and gave birth to a son without ears. It must have been caused by incest…”
Du Ruhui was speechless for a while.
"He'er," Du Ruhui's tone became more serious, "Of course dad knows that this is a good thing, and since it is approved by the King of Medicine, there is no problem... But the key is... In this way, Changsun Chong and
Princess Changle's marriage is no longer possible. Of course, Your Majesty can let Princess Changle marry the Sikong Mansion, but what will the world think of it, what will the people think of it..."
