Forced to become the uncle's apex

Chapter 60 Tuberculosis (laozhai)

"Have you been there?"

Seeing what he said so well, Qin Zhen couldn't help asking.

Wuyou looked reverent, "That's natural. As a big country in the past, it has become like this now. It's really regrettable, especially the Queen Qiuxiao."

This was not the first time he had heard this name, and Qin Zhen couldn't help being a little curious about the queen.

But seeing that he had already arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, he could only put away his curiosity and walked in with the master.

"Rebellious girl! You still know how to come back!" Qin Huaisheng took the lead in angrily scolding.

In the court these days, he was often impeached.

As for why, it was nothing more than that the emperor began to be suspicious of him.

Beside him, the old lady twirled the Buddhist beads and looked at her quietly, her tone was calm: "Since ancient times, no woman who has not left the cabinet dared to stay in other people's house for so long."

Seeing her daughter and Wuyou, Jiang Suxi was both happy and anxious, she winked at her, but didn't dare to speak.

On the contrary, Aunt Qiao looked worried, "Miss, didn't you resign from the third prince's marriage earlier, why did you get involved with him again?"

Qin Zhen glanced at her calmly, then looked at Qin Huaisheng.

"Father, my daughter didn't know the true identity of the third prince before."

Qin Huaisheng sneered: "It's fine if you don't know one thing? I thought you were calm and steady, but I didn't expect you to be shameless..."

"Father!" Qin Zhen's voice suddenly rose, and he looked at him coldly, "Nothing happened between me and the third prince."

Qin Huaisheng smiled instead of anger, "Even if I believe it, can the emperor believe it? How dare you break into the imperial mausoleum and steal Jinling bindweed, you are really brave!"

"After all, it is because the family law of our Hou's mansion is not strict that such ignorant backs appear." The old lady said indifferently, "Mother Fang, go ask for the family law."

"Yes!" Nanny Fang's eyes lit up immediately, she turned around and trotted away.

Qin Zhen didn't even blink, and stared straight at Qin Huaisheng, "Father, right now you are struggling in the court because of the matter of the third prince. With the emperor's suspicion, it is obvious that you don't think that this matter has nothing to do with the Hou family."

"How dare you say it!"

It's fine if you don't mention it, but as soon as you mention it, Qin Huaisheng will think of the picture of being hit repeatedly these days, and everyone wants to come and throw stones at him. "Tell me! Why are you going to the imperial tomb!"

"Picking Jinling bindweed is either saving people or killing people." On the side, Wuyou said quietly.

Qin Huaisheng became even angrier, but in front of outsiders, he still maintained his rationality, "Who is he!"

"My master." Qin Zhen said honestly.

"Okay! Anyone dares to bring it into the mansion now, right? You...you are going to be so mad as a father! Cough, cough, cough..." Qin Huai was so angry that he almost lost his breath, and coughed non-stop.

Hearing this, Wuyou was unhappy, "In the past, if you invited me to this ghostly place, I wouldn't even come."

"You...cough cough cough..." Qin Huaisheng still wanted to speak, but he coughed again, coughing and coughing, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Hiss—Master Hou!"

Qiao's complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly stepped forward to wipe his mouth with a handkerchief.

The old lady's unmoving expression finally changed, "Call the doctor, go and call the doctor!"

"Tch, here is the old man, do you need another doctor?" Wuyou snorted coldly, pushed Qiao away, and put his hand on Qin Huaisheng's wrist.

"Presumptuous, arrest him!" The old lady yelled, and several servants rushed in.

Qin Zhen's eyes sank, "I don't see who would dare! This is the world-famous miracle doctor!"

"No... worry-free?"

The servants froze in place for a moment, no matter how ignorant they were, they still knew the name. The miracle doctor who was said to be able to revive human flesh and bones turned out to be the master of the young lady?

But his clothes... are so nondescript, it's hard to imagine that he is that old fairy-like figure in the legend.

At this time, Jiang Suxi stepped forward and said softly: "Mother, please rest assured, the old Zhong in front of you is as good as a fake, and the Hou Ye who can be replaced will be safe."

Hearing her stand up, the old lady snorted, her eyes still suspicious.

At the door, Nanny Fang excitedly came in with the family law, "Master Hou, the family law is here, and you are still beating..."

In the middle of speaking, I saw Qin Huai sitting on the chair out of breath, and felt bad.

"Master, how is it?" Qin Zhen asked.

Wuyou frowned, cut off the other hand, then rolled Qin Huaisheng's eyelids, and finally said seriously: "It's laozhai!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's face changed instantly.

The old lady even took several steps back, covered her nose and mouth with a handkerchief, and lowered her eyebrows, "Nurse Fang, go and call some doctors for diagnosis!"

Mother Fang was so frightened that she quickly put down her family law and ran away.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Qin Huaisheng coughed again, as if he wanted to cough up his lungs.

"Impossible! This is impossible, how could Ben Hou have this disease!"

Tuberculosis, fatigue at first, fever in the afternoon, less food intake.But soon hemoptysis, vomiting blood.In the end, there will be diarrhea at dawn, erosion of the tongue, and emaciation to the point of being out of shape.

Qin Zhen frowned, quickly grabbed his hand and probed, sure enough...

In an instant, the eyes of the emperor outside the imperial mausoleum appeared in his mind.

Originally, his health was very good, that is, he coughed and even vomited blood until today, so there is every reason to suspect that he suffered from it recently.

In addition, the pulse condition is also very clear, the disease is considered to be in the early stage.

She couldn't help asking: "Who have you been in contact with recently?"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Qin Huaisheng couldn't help thinking back, after all, this disease is extremely contagious.

But soon, he shook his head, after all, he had come into contact with too many people.

Qin Zhen asked again: "Is there anyone who is more shameless, or, what has the emperor rewarded recently?"

As soon as these words came out, Qin Huaisheng's face turned pale, and he suddenly looked out, "Go and bring that bitch here!"

These people naturally knew who they were talking about, but soon, a servant girl ran back in a panic, "Master Hou, Chunmei...she has already..."

"What's wrong with Chunmei!" Qin Huaisheng gritted his teeth, feeling a bad premonition.

The next moment, the servant girl said anxiously: "She committed suicide!"

Aunt Qiao trembled all over, and looked at Qin Zhen and Wuyou who were puzzled, "Chunmei is a court lady bestowed by the emperor to be polished by Lord Hou!"

In a word, it is already clear.

Qin Zhen's eyes darkened, "Take me to see it!"

"Zhen'er!" Jiang Suxi hurriedly shouted, her eyes worried.

After all, it is tuberculosis, and there is a possibility of being infected at any time.

Qin Zhen took out a handkerchief from his arms and gave him a reassuring look, "Mother, I'll be fine."

Soon, the two masters and apprentices came to the door, and none of the servants behind them dared to approach, after all, anyone who heard this name would be afraid.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a girl named Chunmei hanging from the beam of the house, with her tongue sticking out.
