102 Obstruction
At this moment, footsteps came from outside. When Lu Fang turned around, he saw Chen Liniang and Zhong Yuancui rushed over to hear the news. When they saw Lu Fang here, they hurriedly bowed and went to visit Lu Shuxian's condition. When the women met, the sound of sobs suddenly arose in the venue.
Lu Fang stood up and couldn't help feeling upset. After he learned that there was a major stock investor change in Hunan, he had decided to let Cui Hanzhi take over the leadership of Hunan instead of Zhong Yangui, and he established a major station in Wuchang. He could support Lu Runxing in the north, and to the west, he could suppress Hunan's civil unrest and resist the Sichuan army that might rob along the Yangtze River. He recruited Wang Foer to take over Jianye instead, while Lu Shuxian lived in seclusion behind the scenes, echoing You's internal and external self to ensure the balance of power within the entire Lu Wu after leaving the capital. But now Lu Shuxian has a stroke and his plan has been suddenly disrupted.
"Husband, how is Sister Shuxian's illness? How long will it take to recover!" Zhong Yuancui asked.
"This!" Lu Fang pondered slightly, and comforted softly: "The doctor said that Shuxian had just been infected with Feng Xie. She took a few more doses of medicine and had a better life and recuperate for a few days. It should be cured!"
"That's good, that's good!" Zhong Yuancui heard Lu Fang say it, and said with a smile: "Sister does more good deeds on weekdays, and you will definitely be blessed at this moment. I will go back and send the few ginsengs I have stored to my sister, and then go to Kaiyuan Temple outside the city to make a wish and give, and let the monks in the temple pray for their sister and recover as soon as possible!" As he said that, he was about to leave.
Lu Fang came from later generations and was a deeply entrenched atheist. Naturally, he scoffed at the monk's prayer for blessings. He also knew that ginseng might not have any effect on Lu Shuxian's stroke. He wanted to stop him, but the words were retracted when he was at the mouth. His wife was in a serious condition. Although he was already the lord of Wancheng, he had no choice. Since Zhong Yuancui was going to do it, let her do it. Although it was not good, at least it was not harmful. It was also considered to be a peace of mind.
Lu Fang's expression made Chen Liniang look at her. She knew more about Lu Fang than Zhong Yuancui, who was simple-minded, and she couldn't help but feel moved: "Is it possible that the aunt is seriously ill this time, and even her husband has no choice? Then the position of queen is empty?" Thinking of this, Chen Liniang's thoughts immediately became lively. He knew that Lu Shuxian's position in Lu Fang's heart was unmatched. As long as Lu Shuxian is in one day, Lu Fang will be the emperor in the future. The queen's position is hers. But if Lu Shuxian leaves, she will be the closest person to the queen's throne. After all, Lu Runxing in the Eastern Palace is her biological son. Not to mention anything else, "Mother is precious for her son" is safe. Thinking of this, Chen Liniang's chaotic mood was suppressed and she walked to Lu Fang and whispered: "Husband, I will take care of Sister Shuxian's affairs. You can go back to the central palace to rest first. If there is anything, I will send someone to report it!"
Since Lu Fang has been working hard in the morning, he has also felt a little sleepy. He nodded to Chen Liniang, then came to Lu Shuxian and whispered a few times, telling him to go back and rest first, and then come to visit Lu Shuxian for dinner before leaving.
After leaving Lu Fang, Chen Liniang came to Lu Shuxian and personally fed the medicine soup that had a decoction and calming effect, which made her fall asleep. She sat back to the couch next to her, looking at the bronze mirror on the side, thinking about her own thoughts. She saw that the nose and lips were red, her eyes were as beautiful as autumn water, and she still looked like a beautiful woman, but the passage of time still left subtle traces on the corners of her eyes. Chen Liniang couldn't help but sigh. She was born in a family and had a lot of views. Naturally, she understood the truth that "beauty is easy to grow old, but Li Guang is hard to seal it". Over the years, Lu Fang has indeed favored him, but he is a military and busy state affairs. How much time and energy does he spend on his children's love? Although after Lu Run's temperament, he gave birth to two sons and one daughter for Lu Fang, but he was not a legitimate son after all, and he has been strict since childhood. Compared with Lu Runling, who is about to inherit his great cause, although he is a compatriot, he is just a heaven or an underground person. Although he is a mother, he is not happy with him, and he can't do anything. In the final analysis, there is only one reason for his family, that is, he is not Lu Fang's official wife. No matter how noble he is, how beautiful he is, how beautiful he is, how favored his husband, and he gave birth to his eldest son, it is useless. He is still a concubine. Only when his biological flesh and blood can he have the right to become the heir of his husband's foundation only when he is adopted by his elder wife, but there is a world of difference between his other children and their elder brother. All of this sounds ridiculous, but it is a steel-like fact, an irreversible fact. Unless—.
When Chen Li Niang thought of this, she was suddenly frightened by the thought that came out of her heart. She raised her head and looked at Lu Shuxian who was sleeping in the brocade couch. As long as this person was gone, everything could be turned over and she could become her husband's wife. Naturally, her child would become the legitimate son. The child who could only watch from afar but would not call her mother would also call her "self" the mother. When she thought of this, Chen Li Niang's whole body almost trembled happily, and she was the only obstacle between herself and this heaven. Chen Li Niang stood up unconsciously and walked towards the brocade couch where Lu Shuxian was, one, two, and three steps.
"Empress!" A low cry woke Chen Liniang from this unconscious state. She suddenly woke up. When she looked back, she saw a pretty girl in palace clothes standing at the door, but Cui Ke, looking at her in surprise.
"It's you! Are you?" Chen Li Niang's face showed a panic expression. Her mind was confused at this moment, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. Cui Ke, who was very quick to react, saw Chen Li Niang's strange performance and bowed: "I have seen the Empress, and I just learned that the saint was infected with wind and rushed to visit her, but I didn't expect to meet the Empress here!"
"Oh! Oh! You are very intentional, and you don't care about the saint's love for you so much!" Chen Liniang had already replied to her mood and replied with a smile: "But you have already gotten into engaging with the prince. It's a family, so visiting her mother-in-law is also the duty."
Cui Ke smiled and said, "The Concubine taught her a lesson!"
"The saint has just used medicine and is resting. Otherwise, we will not disturb the rest when we go out to talk!"
"What the Imperial Concubine said is, but I also know a little bit of medical theory. It's not too late to visit the saint first, and then go out together!" Cui Ke had already walked to Lu Shuxian's bed while joking. She was as careful as she was afraid that Chen Liniang had used some tricks on Lu Shuxian just now. She walked to Lu Shuxian and saw that the other party's eyes were slightly closed and his breathing was even. Under his long sleeves, his right hand slightly explored the pulse. Although it was a little slippery, it was still very smooth. Cui Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief and went out with Chen Liniang.
Although Cui Ke's actions were concealed, Chen Liniang had been practicing swordsmanship for many years. Without saying anything else, her eyesight was amazing. In addition, she was guilty and could see clearly. She knew that the other party had already developed doubts about her, so she naturally became a little more worried. But seeing Cui Ke smiled like a flower, her conversation was elegant, and she was smart and wise just now, she couldn't help but think in her heart: "It's true that she is a child of the Cui family. Such a beautiful girl deserves her own child. Unfortunately, she is not her daughter-in-law, and she is guarding against herself all day long." Thinking of this, Chen Liniang only felt sad and was upset. Cui Ke is such a smart person. She noticed that the other party was wrong after a few words. She didn't say much, but just looked at the other party with a smile and kept silent.
Not to mention Chen, how the two of Cui and the others were fighting each other. Lu Fang was walking back and forth in the hall, thinking about his own concerns, but in the end he made up his mind that the military affairs should not be delayed, and he still left Wuchang as planned. As for the matter in the palace, since Lu Shuxian was ineffective, he asked Chen Liniang to replace him. Although Chen Liniang did not have such a great appeal to the people of the Lu clan, Wang Foer and himself had long been verified for many years. The victory or defeat of this war will be decided within the year, and no major happens. Thinking of this, Lu Fang no longer hesitated and ordered Shi Shude to get paper and pen, and a scheming edict, and asked him to send him to the place where the scholar drafted the edict, so that he would not mention the edict.
Outside Tanzhou City, it is already late spring and early summer. This season should be a scene of fertile fields and lush seedlings.
But after Hengzhou fell, refugee riots had affected this place. The fields were filled with thatched huts and nests for refugees who were escaping wars, and no one was ploughing the fields, and the grass grew taller than the seedlings. At the dock next to the Xiangjiang River, there were soft stalls for refugees everywhere. The grass on both sides was full of straw huts for gambling and private prostitution. After noon, there were crowds of people passing by. Their main customers were Wu Jun soldiers outside the city. They only had a few dozen cents and half a bag of miscellaneous grains to exchange for a yellow-flowered daughter. This was naturally very popular for those soldiers who didn't know tomorrow today, so in this world controlled by war and desolation, there was a bit of abnormal prosperity here.
I don't know why, as soon as the sun came out, there were many soldiers guarding around the Xiangjiang Wharf. The private prostitutes and gambling stalls were naturally swept away. The brighter-eyed gangsters had already recognized that these soldiers were all tooth soldiers in Zhong Liushou's mansion. Lian Zhong Liushou himself changed his official robe and waited in the house early in the morning. With such preparation, I was afraid that some big shots would come, so they hid next to the road and prepared to watch the fun. Just after noon, several boats came to the river. The largest face actually held the flag and the long-awaited advocates who had been waiting by the dock quickly played music! After a while, the official boat approached the shore. Zhong Yangui led a group of civil and military officials to bow beside the pier and said, "My minister Zhong Yangui welcomed the official!" @ws
