Uncle from a poor family

Chapter 413: How Father and Daughter Get Along (asking for monthly ticket)
Liu Wentai gave Zhu Jianshen a laxative.

The medicine was personally presented by the people from the Imperial Hospital, and even Zhang Yuan did not object, mainly because the medical background of the old members of the Imperial Hospital needed to be demonstrated at this moment.

This time, the reason for betting on Liu Wentai was also because of the superb medical skills that Liu Wentai had demonstrated in the past.

Since Liu Wentai wants to take responsibility, let him try. If he succeeds, it will also be helpful in suppressing Zhang Luan.

Of course, now everyone in the Imperial Medical Service has generally realized that Zhang Luan is no longer just the actual controller of the Imperial Medical Service. He is working as a minister of state, and may very well become a prime minister in the next step. It is an honor for everyone in the Imperial Medical Service to be able to climb up to Zhang Luan's high branch.

It turns out that a prime minister can come from the Imperial Medical Bureau. If this were to be known to others, it would bring honor to the imperial doctors.

After taking the medicine.

No effect has been seen yet.

Zhang Yuan brought Liu Wentai out, still asking, "Is it okay?"

Liu Wentai said: "Your Majesty has taken the medicine, what else can happen? Just now, Your Majesty did not take the medicine through the nose, but through the mouth... You also saw that Your Majesty has no rejection of our medicine."

"But now, Your Majesty...is almost out of his mind."

Zhang Yuan was very anxious.

Just at this moment Zhang Luan and Wei Tai came in.

The two of them quickly fell silent.

……

……

Not long after, news came from inside that the emperor had diarrhea.

A bunch of people rushed in to clean up.

It also made the people on duty in the inner hall feel disgusted. Zhang Luan and Wei Tai couldn't stand it anymore and ran out.

"Look, it's all your fault." Wei Tai shouted at Zhang Yuan and Liu Wentai angrily, "Your Majesty is still not awake, but he is like this... What are you... up to?"

A person who is in a coma is having severe diarrhea, and only the eunuchs and attendants like them can go and clean up the person. The key is that they can't move around, so they can only change his clothes and clothes on the spot. Can you imagine how tiring it is?

Zhang Yuan and Liu Wentai were speechless. They looked at each other, with worry on their faces.

A bunch of people were busy until late.

Now Zhang Luan felt relieved.

Anyway, the person who took the medicine was Liu Wentai, so he could have completely ignored it and just sat on the steps in front of the Qianqing Palace yawning. In the second half of the night, he even fell asleep there.

At this moment, someone put a piece of clothing on Zhang Luan.

Zhang Luan became alert and when he looked sideways, he saw Qin Ji standing next to him.

"Eunuch Tan?"

Zhang Luan was very curious.

Now even the eunuchs of the Eastern Palace can appear in the Qianqing Palace?

Qin Ji said: "The Crown Princess knows that you have been busy here, so she came over to take a look... Look, the Crown Princess is over there, do you... want to go over and say a few words?"

As he spoke, Qin Ji pointed to a place in the distance where a lantern was emitting a faint light.

There was some hesitation on Zhang Luan's face.

Of course he wanted to see his daughter, but at this time, there were so many eyes watching him in the dark, how could he dare to go beyond the line?
"Laizhan, what's up?"

Li Zisheng, who was taking a breath at the door of the palace, saw Qin Ji and ran over to join in the fun.

With Li Zisheng's political awareness, he naturally understood the trick.

Zhang Luan asked curiously, "Minister Li, you're back?"

"I just returned to the palace not long ago."

Li Zisheng said, "How long do you think I will stay outside? If there is something going on here, I will have to go back from time to time... Eunuch Tan, do you want the Crown Princess to meet her father? This is human nature, Lai Zhan, go and see him quickly."

"Ah."

Zhang Luan nodded and said, "I'll prepare a little bit...Please go and tell Eunuch Tan."

"it is good!"

Qin Ji quickly ran to the Qianqing Gate and told Zhang Yu the good news.

Li Zisheng pulled Zhang Luan and whispered, "It's almost dawn. I heard from inside that His Majesty's condition is very bad. He may die in an hour or two. Liu Wentai is really brave. He dared to use medicine at this time. I heard from them that you think the medicine is a laxative?"

"Ah."

Zhang Luan nodded.

"it is good."

Li Zisheng said sinisterly, "Then put all the blame for not being able to cure His Majesty on Liu Wentai."

It was obvious that Li Zisheng was still annoyed by Liu Wentai's previous contradictory remarks to him, and when he found a rare opportunity, he wanted to beat Liu Wentai to death.

He didn't take action against Liu Wentai before because he was concerned about his own status and reputation, but now that he has the opportunity to seek help from others, Li Zisheng is not shy about it.

Zhang Luan explained: "He came to me in advance and mentioned that if he couldn't cure His Majesty, he would take the blame for me. I don't think he had any ill intentions."

"If he is cured, he will be honored. Does he want to make a profit without any loss?"

Li Zisheng sneered and said casually, "You should deal with the eunuch Tan just now. The one in the future may be Yin Gong, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department. We will have many opportunities to meet in the future.

"As for Wei Tai, although he is in great glory now, he did not completely stand on the side of the crown prince on key issues. His downfall is just a matter of a few days."

Zhang Luan nodded and thought, you even want to curry favor with Qin Ji now?
Li Zisheng said, "Don't prepare. You don't need to tell anyone. Go and meet the Crown Princess. If someone wants to see you, I will speak for you."

……

...Zhang Luan went to see his daughter.

Seeing his father's haggard look, Zhang Yu couldn't help but wipe away his tears and said, "Father, you've been working hard lately."

"Crown Princess, don't say that. These are what I should do." Zhang Luan replied.

"Why is father so distant?"

Zhang Yu pouted, somewhat dissatisfied.

Her father was clearly in the palace, but he didn't come to visit her. She received no response to her several invitations. As a daughter, she naturally felt that her old father didn't take her seriously.

Zhang Luan said sternly, "The king is the king and the minister is the minister. As a father, I know the proper limits... These days, I have been doing serious work and dare not leave the Qianqing Palace without permission. Besides, I am not coming to you for your own good and for the good of the prince... Speaking of which, something big is going to happen in these two days, and it is very likely... it will happen at any time."

Zhang Yu complained, "Did father help His Majesty wake up earlier? What if something happened?"

Zhang Luan looked around and saw Qin Ji standing far away with no one else around. He whispered, "That was the medicine your second brother gave me. I didn't understand his intention at first. But after His Majesty woke up, he fully affirmed the prince's actions. Even the Queen Mother praised me and thought that I took care of the overall situation. With His Majesty's approval, there will be no obstacles for the prince to govern the country."

Zhang Yu asked, "Do you want to push everything onto your second brother?"

Zhang Luan said angrily: "You... Others don't know, but you still don't know what's going on? If it weren't for your second brother, would I be able to stand here?"

Seeing his father looking furious, Zhang Yu instantly understood that his father didn't want to be noticed at all, and was even less willing to stand in such a high position. His mood immediately calmed down a lot.

Zhang Yu asked curiously, "Then, father, how did you survive in the palace without being discovered since you don't have the ability to cure diseases and save lives?"

"What else can I rely on? It's all the prescriptions your second brother gave me, and the words he prepared in advance. In addition, there is a famous Huizhou doctor named Wang Ji who is helping me. He doesn't know much about me, but for some reason, no matter what I say, he looks at me with a very strange look, but afterwards he acts as if he respects me very much. This person... is really hard to figure out."

Zhang Luan obviously didn't realize that many of the stupid things he did unintentionally became the objects of imitation and learning for Wang Ji.

In other words, with the help of his son, Zhang Luan was unconsciously pretending to be powerful many times, but he didn't know it.

"Is everyone at home okay?" Zhang Yu asked.

"How would I know? I've been in the palace for so many days, and I only left for two hours. I didn't even see your mother..."

When Zhang Luan said this, he felt a little guilty.

After leaving the palace, he did not forget the past and did not forget to meet his beautiful wife at the Magpie Bridge. However, he left his wife and concubines at home and did not go back to see them.

Zhang Yu asked, "Then... Dad, when will you leave the palace again?"

"That depends on when the big event will come."

Zhang Luan asked, "Do you know what this means?"

"I know, it's just... the emperor died and the prince ascended the throne."

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Yu spoke without restraint.

Zhang Luan sighed, "You see, you know better than me. Just stay in the palace and wait for the big event to come. Don't worry, I am here, and with the Queen Mother's support, no one dares to touch the prince... Even if I risk my life, I will make you the Queen of Ming Dynasty."

"father……"

Zhang Yu used to blame his father, but now he suddenly feels that his father is great.

For my daughter, I will devote myself to her until my death.

and many more.

Isn’t my old father just a vase?

Even he himself said that he was just living a lazy life in the palace, so shouldn't he say the words of thanks to his younger brother?

"Humph!"

Zhang Yu snorted, "I was almost deceived by Dad's nice words... Dad, it's good enough that you can take care of yourself in the palace. You have to find someone to go out of the palace and ask Yanling for his opinion."

"I do think that if I want to find someone to leave the palace, it could be Li Zisheng or Chen Gui. Do you think I can trust these two people? If a few words are leaked from outside the palace, won't something go wrong?"

Zhang Luan was also somewhat helpless.

I want to contact your brother, but the conditions do not allow it.

Zhang Yu asked, "Then why don't you look for me?"

"I……"

Zhang Luan thought, will it be any use to ask you for help?
Zhang Yu rolled his eyes at his old father and said, "You also know that the Crown Prince is now the regent. In recent days, it has been very convenient for Tan Ji and Jiang Cong to enter and exit the palace. If you have something to say, just tell Tan Ji directly, and he can go out of the palace to pass on the message for you."

Zhang Luan said: "Hey, I really didn't think of this. Before, I just wanted to avoid causing trouble for the prince."

"Okay, Dad, now that you know, you won't take your daughter's kindness for granted anymore, right?" Zhang Yu still looked angry.

Zhang Luan smiled and said, "Okay, my dear daughter, Dad knows that you are filial and not willful. I am just worried that something bad will happen to you."

"Who's worried about you?"

Zhang Yu said unhappily, "I am more worried about the prince."

"Okay, okay, you two young couples are deeply in love, this should be okay, right? You young people, I really don't know what you are thinking. Since you know that the matter is critical, why don't you send someone to find Yanling yourself? If you bring the message to the palace, I won't have to be so anxious."

Zhang Luan turned around and blamed his daughter.

Zhang Yu said in dissatisfaction: "Dad, you are just blaming me for something else."

Zhang Luan said: "Look at the words you use. Humph, didn't you learn anything from your brother..."

Zhang Yu frowned and said, "Dad, can we talk about this? You have to pass the news over first, and then I can send someone to ask my second brother."

"Are you joking with your father?"

Zhang Luan said angrily, "Your second brother is like Zhuge Liang. He can predict things that haven't happened in the palace yet. Can you believe it? He even mentioned before that someone would take the initiative to offer medicine to the emperor and asked me not to stop it...

"Hey, guess what? There really is a Liu Wentai who jumped out to offer medicine as if he were going to die. He is so bold! As long as you ask him, he will definitely be able to calculate the matter accurately.

"As for the Crown Prince's succession, have someone ask him about it... At this critical moment, tell the Crown Prince not to tense up, the throne is important!"
