MIRACLE DOCTOR
21.
“Qingcheng, why are you back so soon? Have you solved the problem well?”
Today, Lu Qingcheng entered the Palace to deliver the Selaginella Grass to Consort Chen. Early in the morning, Aunt Chang went to Yufu's courtyard to urge him out as quickly as possible. Lu Qingcheng did not even have time for breakfast and hurriedly went to drive him to the Palace.
Yunshi also counted the time. Back and forth from the Palace, it would even definitely settle down at Consort Chen's place for a while, this seemed to be coming home too early.
He is starting to panic now. Somehow he felt that Lu Qingcheng had messed things up. However, he did not think what kind of trouble he had messed up.
He looked at Qingcheng's hand and his servant, both empty. He also thought the medicine must have been delivered, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“In the heat outside, right? Seeing you reminisce on your forehead, quickly enter the room and tell your Grandma how is Consort Chen at the Palace?”
“Mother, I..”.
Just now he wanted to say with his mother, he heard Old Madam calling him from inside the room.
“Qingcheng's coming home, huh?
“Yes, Grandma!”
He did not speak to Yunshi either and rushed into the room and knelt down. Yunshi was surprised! The panic came again. He did not want to go take the money first and follow Qingcheng into the room as well.
The Old Madam frowned looking at Lu Qingcheng. Everyone also looked at Lu Qingcheng. Then they heard him say with a crying voice.
“Grandmother, Selaginella Grass has been snatched.”
“Whataa..?”
Old Madam was surprised! Yunshi and everyone were shocked as well.
What Old Madam cared about was:
“Who snatched it?”
What Yunshi cared about was:
“Where to take? Are you hurt?”
If he did meet the robber, he would have to think of a way to minimize the situation. He didn't let his daughter get a little wrong.
Unexpectedly, Lu Qingcheng said:
“I'm not hurt, Mom has misunderstood. I did not find the robber. However by the time I walked in the Palace and was heading to Chengyou Palace, where Auntie, Eunuch Wei who was by the Emperor's side took the grass.”
“It..”.
Yunshi did not react for a moment.
“Why did he take our stuff?"
“Is it possible that he heard we were delivering medicine to the Palace, so he took him to check first in the imperial taboo there?” Guess Old Madam.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. After all, that place is a palace. The medicine or food brought inside should not be used before checking it.
However Lu Qingcheng shook his head.
“Not, Grandma. Eunuch Wei said that it should be taken to the 11th Prince to treat his wound.”
“She also said, Our Lu Family has such a good item and only knows to give to the Family alone and does not care about the death of the 11th Prince. Said really... How outrageous.”
His voice trembled as he said this. After all, the Selaginella Grass was lost in his own hands and he could not escape the Old Madam's punishment in front of him.
Yunshi also understood this situation. However, since punishment was unavoidable, then he had to find a way to ease his punishment.
He also said:
“Who leaked it? Otherwise, how does Palace know that we will deliver the grass to Consort Chen today?”
After speaking, he looked at Lu Ciqiu and said:
Lu Ciqiu nodded as well.
"Yes, I mentioned it once, but Eunuch Wei did not respond back then. Moreover, even though I mentioned it, I had no idea that you guys planned to go to the Palace to deliver the grass on this day!”
“But Mrs Yun's doubts are true as well. Who spread the word that you will today deliver him to the Palace?”
Old Madam is very emotional.
“Who! Other than our own family, who else knows? How can our own families tell the people in the Palace? Qingcheng, I asked you. When you at the Palace Gate asked to go inside, how did you say that?"
Lu Qingcheng was surprised.
“I-I said that deliver something to Concubine Chen. The Palace Gate Guards asked what kind of item was it? Then I-I also told them.”
The more he answered, the more trembling in fear. Can't this really happen because of him?
The Old Madam grasped his heart and her staff continued to hit the floor.
Pungs! Pungs! Pungs!
Lu Fanghua instead wanted to make the matter worse.
“Granny don't get mad. The medicinal grass had also been given by First Brother to serve as a savior. How angry you are, the item will also not come back again.”
Yunshi was worried.
“Fourth Miss, please don't bullshit! Why would Qingcheng be the savior of the 11th Prince?”
“Well I don't know this, if you are curious, should ask First Brother.”
Although Yunshi was emotional and wanted to make a calculation with Lu Fanghua, but right now she had to ease the anger from Old Madam first.
“Mother, although Qingcheng told the truth to the gatekeeper of the Palace, yet it was also the rule of entering the Palace. No matter who is handling the matter, as long as the guard asks, we must tell! Isn't it deceptive if we don't say it?”
Of course Old Madam understood this truth and also knew that Lu Qingcheng was not to blame for this matter. However, thinking back that the grass he obtained, was taken for granted, he felt guilty towards his daughter.
“You didn't tell Eunuch Wei that the medicine was to cure your aunt?”
The Old Lady asked him.
“She took it and you gave it away?”
“I've said it. But Eunuch Wei said, hearing his name alone is definitely a good item, it might be able to treat the 11th Prince's illness. After he finished talking, he took it. No matter how I deny it, he also does not respond to it.”
“Basic is useless! You can't do this well, I'm so disappointed in you!”
The Old Madam actually wanted to scold Wei Li, even wanting to scold the Emperor. Since he knew that Wei Li had come to seize it, it meant that the Emperor wanted to seize it. After all, the 11th Prince's importance to the Emperor was already known to many.
However, how dare he scold the Emperor. So he could only vent his anger on Lu Qingcheng.
He raised his staff and pointed it straight at Lu Qingcheng.
"Do you know how valuable it is? It's more important than your life! Now just disappear? What do you want to pay your aunt?"
The words “More important in his life” made him immediately fall sitting on the floor dumbly.
Bruuks....
Although his Father and Mother had high hopes for him in the future and spoke sincere words to him, he knew that in his future he would definitely become Empress. Otherwise, she who has turned 16 years old, mana may not consider her marriage.
He always thought that Old Madam had the same thought. However, now it seemed that in Old Madam's heart, she had always placed her daughter who became the concubine as the first priority.
Yunshi did not like to hear these words. Consort Chen was only a concubine and only had a daughter. She could not even give birth to a prince. If not for the Lu Family, his position would probably be even lower in the Palace.
The Old Madam instead said her daughter's life was worth more than Qingcheng? He's really!
