Red apricots make spring

Chapter 221
Pei Jingxuan really didn't expect that Lu Ce could be considered exhaustive!
If he was very nervous and panicked when he first went to the temple, now he has become very calm and indifferent, but under his calm appearance, he hides the extremely complicated emotions in his heart, which can be seen from his gaze Get a glimpse of one or two.

From sending Xizhu to look for him, to the answer when he was interrogated, Lu Ce thought of everything one by one.Pei Jingxuan couldn't figure it out why Lu Ce could conclude that after reading the letter Xi Zhu left behind, he would change his mind and agree to help?Moreover, most of the things that happened in the temple were within his expectations, and even if there were some inconsistencies, they were all within the grasp and control range.

At this moment, no matter how unwilling Pei Jingxuan was, he had to admit that Lu Ce was much better than him, and it was understandable for Shen Mengyi to be obsessed with Lu Ce.But does he really have no place in her heart?He could sacrifice his life for her regardless of gains or losses, but he couldn't accept the sadness that she would eventually forget him.

Pei Jingxuan stared down at the green brick ground under his feet, and smiled at himself, thinking that this was probably the biggest reason why he agreed to help Lu Ce?He kept trying to convince himself that he helped Lu Ce only to avoid Lu Ce's strong retaliation against Shen Mengyi after the incident, and to leave a way out for her.But now he wants to understand, how can love be without selfishness at all?When he helped Lu Ce, he actually wanted to leave Shen Mengyi's gentle rival behind. He would rather be hated by her than be forgotten by her!

How did Shi Lei know that Pei Jingxuan's thoughts had already gone to his wife?Still glaring at him.Who would have thought that Pei Jingxuan didn't even have the slightest reaction, so he couldn't help but panic even more.Obviously, this matter is determined to be dead and difficult to reverse. How did it turn into this situation in the end?If in the end the Holy Majesty concludes that Lu Ce did not deceive the emperor, then although he, the censor, will not die, he will still offend the Lu family deeply, and in the future the court...

Thinking of this, he shivered with chills, and raised his eyes to look at his old father-in-law as if asking for help, but after Shen Yuan's eyes collided with him for a moment, he immediately pursed his lips angrily, and turned his eyes away.

Shi Lei's heart skipped a beat, and he stole a glance at the emperor who was sitting high, only to see Xie Zhengrui staring directly at the outside of the hall, with a pensive expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.He didn't dare to look too much, and quickly lowered his eyes, thinking anxiously, what should he do next?
Everyone in the hall had their own thoughts, because they saw that Xie Zhengrui was not in the mood, and no one dared to say anything loose, so they could only stand and wait. After waiting for half an hour, seeing the sun rising into the sky, everyone couldn't stand still Now, I saw the Ninth Prince hurried in from outside the palace with a happy expression on his face, Natou bowed and said: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life, and finally invited Dr. He here."

Xie Zhengrui nodded, and cast his eyes on the middle-aged man who entered the palace after the Ninth Prince, and saw that he was wearing a big, wide coat that hadn't been washed for some time, and was so dirty that it couldn't be seen in color.The cloth sash around the waist is loosely tied, so that half of the greasy and thin chest is exposed at the skirt of the gown. How can it look like a doctor at all?Full street beggars!What is even more astonishing is that although the street beggar's hair is dirty and messy, at least he has uncut long hair brought from his mother's womb, and this person is not a monk, but his hair is only about an inch long, and the roots are straight and hard Standing above the head, it is extremely eye-catching.

In this age where the body, hair, and skin should be given to parents, and they should not be damaged at will, otherwise it would be unfilial. He Lin's filth has been ignored by others, and everyone's eyes are focused on the top of his head. Xie Zhengrui couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes. Yi blurted out and asked, "What's the matter with your hair?"

He Lin didn't kneel or worship, and when he heard Xie Zhengrui's question, he just stroked the top of his head with his hand, and said with a smile, "It's too troublesome to wash your hair, so shave it off!"

Who would simply shave the hair they received from their parents because they were too lazy to wash their hair?As soon as He Lin's words came out, everyone in the hall couldn't help whispering, and a few more conservative courtiers had already started shaking their heads, muttering softly: "It's unreasonable!"

The Ninth Prince saw He Lin standing there carelessly answering the question, got anxious, and hurriedly gave him a wink, but he didn't know that it would be okay if He Lin didn't see it, but it would be even worse if he saw it.He raised his neck and said to the Ninth Prince, "What are you winking at me for?"

How can there be such unreasonable people in this world?The Ninth Prince couldn't help crying and laughing. Seeing Xie Zhengrui glance over, he quickly covered his mouth and coughed twice, and said to He Lin, "Why don't you bow down when you see the Holy Majesty?"

When He Lin heard this, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face. He looked at Xie Zhengrui, who was sitting high on the top, and then at the Ninth Prince. Finally, he knelt down reluctantly, kowtowed three times casually, and whispered softly. He muttered: "Death may be heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather... Forget it, people have to bow their heads under the eaves..."

He said this in a very soft voice, only the Ninth Prince who was standing close to him heard it, and hurriedly lowered his head to hide the astonished look on his face, feeling annoyed in his heart.

Seeing He Lin's lips twitch, Xie Zhengrui thought that he was saying the usual phrases that courtiers often say when they kneel down, and didn't take it seriously, so he let him stand up flat, and asked, "Do you recognize this Master Pei, Your Majesty?"

He Lin turned his head to look around, and blurted out, "Which one?"

Pei Jingxuan's face immediately turned pale, and his body trembled a little with horror, secretly complaining that Lu Ce had found such an ignorant person, who was unreliable in his words and actions, and didn't even know how to cover up.

Shi Lei was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this Dr. He can't recognize anyone, it's obvious that Master Pei is deceiving the emperor!"

Xie Zhengrui's gaze became serious, and he asked He Lin coldly, "You really don't recognize him?"

He Lin asked straightforwardly: "Why should I know him? I don't even know what you are asking me for!"

The Ninth Prince really wished he could knock He Lin unconscious with a big stick, lest he cause trouble here, but for the sake of Lu Ce, he had to hold back his anger, pointed at Pei Jingxuan and reminded him: "This Master Pei Qin said that you once healed him He had smallpox, and he was given a prescription to get rid of the acne scars on his body."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was glared at by Xie Zhengrui, and immediately lowered his head in panic.

He Lin got the reminder, looked at Pei Jingxuan, then exaggeratedly said "Oh", nodded and said, "I'm a little familiar, may I ask your name?"

"My...my surname is Pei, and my name is Jingxuan..." Pei Jingxuan's face flushed red, and he answered He Lin's question very tragically. He wished he could bump his head to death in this hall, so as not to embarrass himself with this person again. In the end, he will be accused of deceiving the emperor, and he will die badly.

At this time, all the courtiers in the hall felt that He Lin was crazy and silly, and his mind was a little abnormal, and some of them even couldn't hold back their "chi chi" laughs.

Xie Zhengrui's face became even uglier. If it was normal, he would have had He Lin caught and beaten to death long ago. But at this moment, he is still hesitating on how to deal with Lu Ce, and secondly, he also wants to see what is going on. Did Lin really have outstanding medical skills, so he suppressed his temper and said angrily: "What do you think this is? Are you free to play around? If you recognize it, you recognize it, and if you don't recognize it, you don't recognize it. "

Shi Lei hurriedly echoed: "Your Majesty is wise! In my opinion, such a person should be kicked out of the palace, so as not to pollute the Holy Spirit!"

He Lin didn't rush, turned his head to look at Shi Lei's eyes, and suddenly said: "Don't be angry! Anger ages quickly! Look at you, you are obviously less than [-] years old, and you are about to look like [-] years old gone."

All the ministers in the hall looked at Shi Lei, and they started to hold back their laughter because of what He Lin said, even Xie Zhengrui couldn't help laughing, only Shen Yuan shook his head in embarrassment, regretting how he let his daughter marry such a person.And Shi Lei's face immediately turned red when he heard the words, because Shen Mengyi said similar things on the day of the bridal chamber, and asked him if he was hiding his age.This He Lin really touched his sore spot, making him speechless.

He Lin persisted and continued to ask: "Excuse me...my lord whose surname I don't know, what clothes did you wear ten days ago, and what food did you eat?"

Shi Lei only thought that He Lin was teasing him, but also forgot that this was in the palace, the emperor was still in front of him, and said with a straight neck: "It's been so long, how can I remember?"

He Lin was waiting for this sentence, clapped his hands immediately, and said with a smile: "This is the end! You still don't remember what happened ten years ago. I have treated so many people, and it has been several years. How can you remember them all?" ?”

Shi Lei choked again, unable to answer.

All the people in the hall fell silent, and their gazes at He Lin suddenly became different from those just now.
