Chapter 260: Under House Arrest in the Palace
When Luo Li heard that the palace had sent someone to summon her to the palace again, she frowned and was puzzled. "What kind of madness is the emperor having? After I returned to Beijing, I was summoned to the palace for interrogation. I have been staying at home honestly these days and have not even left the house. Why did he summon me to the palace again? Otherwise, I will pretend to be sick!"
Princess Wei reminded worriedly, "Since the emperor has ordered a summons, you can't make excuses for not going. The emperor has said that pretending to be sick and not going is a crime of disobeying the emperor's order. Luo Li, you are never willing to suffer grievances. If you make a mistake, the emperor will punish you. You must be careful when you enter the palace, act according to the situation, and hold back words that you shouldn't say."
"Sister-in-law, I will accompany you to the palace and go to see the emperor with you." Princess Yongqing was also a little worried.
Luo Li smiled casually, "It's a blessing, not a disaster. If it's a disaster, it can't be avoided. If the enemy comes, the general will stop it and if the water comes, the earth will cover it. I will go to the palace to deal with it. Qin Wang Zhao Defang is still guarding the border for him in Yizhou. Can the emperor, this tiger, still eat people?"
Princess Wei warned again with concern: "Luo Li, be careful."
Luo Li walked to the door and turned back to smile at her: "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I am not a silly princess who is particularly stupid. It's okay. Just wait here and I will be back before dark."
After entering the palace, Luo Li sent Princess Yongqing back to Yayan Pavilion. The emperor summoned the wife of Prince Qin. If Princess Yongqing followed him, it might anger the emperor and implicate Yongqing.
Hong Gu, who followed Luo Li into the palace, was stopped from a distance.
Luo Li followed the eunuch silently on the bluestone road, feeling a little nervous. This direction was not to the bedroom where the ladies lived, but to the study in Chuigong Hall. That was an important place for the emperor to review memorials, handle affairs, summon important ministers and hold small court meetings. How could she, the Princess of Qin, be taken to this important office?
"Your Majesty, the Princess of Qin wants to see you." The shrill voice of the little eunuch startled Luo Li, who was daydreaming.
"Announce the Princess of Qin to see you!" The voice of the chief eunuch Wang Jie'en was heard.
Luo Li took a deep breath, relieved her nervous mood, and walked in.
She didn't dare to look around, but when she saw the bright yellow figure sitting behind the imperial desk, she quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you."
No movement,...
[The imperial study room has a much stronger atmosphere than the harem ladies' chambers. This spacious palace is completely silent, and the feeling of oppression is overwhelming! ]
Luo Li secretly complained in her heart, but didn't dare to look up to see what was going on.
My legs were numb from kneeling, and then I heard a more oppressive voice from above my head: "Princess Qin, do you admit your guilt?"
Luo Li shuddered involuntarily, and lowered her head to the floor in fear. "I know my crime. I shouldn't have given 20% of the lucrative toilet paper business to Concubine Li without consulting the King of Qin. This has caused discord between husband and wife, and caused Your Majesty to worry. I beg Your Majesty to punish me."
The majestic emperor was stunned!
What the hell is going on here? This silly princess is really mentally ill and mentally abnormal. She is just talking nonsense about admitting guilt and accepting punishment.
"Princess Qin, do you know medicine?" The emperor's voice was cold and majestic. "I heard that you cured the congenital disease of Zhao Wuji, the young master of the Prince of Wei's Palace? Wuji is a member of the royal family. How dare you conceal this matter and not report it? Do you know your crime?"
Luo Li's heart skipped a beat and cold sweat broke out instantly.
How did this secret leak out?
As her mind raced, Luo Li raised her head, her eyes showing silly excitement and joy: "I told Your Majesty that I know medical skills the last time I entered the palace. The old fellow Ghost Hand Poison Doctor's medical skills are really great. I watched him perform surgery on Xiao Wuji and cured his illness. Then, I was willing to learn medical skills from him.
Your Majesty, you don't know that the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor is not willing to teach his magical medical skills easily, and he will only teach people with extremely high talents. He said that I am a person with extremely high talents, and among his students, I am the fastest and best learner.
Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, you can go ask Lin Xian'er who lives in the Qin Wangfu Hot Spring Villa. She had an acute intestinal abscess a few days ago and almost died from the pain. It was because I took out the rotten intestines in her stomach and cut them out that she was able to survive!"
The more Luo Li spoke, the brighter her eyes became. "Your Majesty, I have learned a great medical skill from Ghost Hand Poison Doctor. If any of the ladies in the palace have acute intestinal abscesses in the future, and the imperial doctors are all men and it is inconvenient to treat them, please order me to come and I will cure the disease with just one cut."
"How dare you! Princess Qin, you are so bold that you dare to curse the ladies in the palace to contract acute intestinal abscess, an incurable disease?" The emperor shouted angrily!
Luo Li was frightened!
She kowtowed in fear and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I dare not curse the ladies in the palace. But... this person eats all kinds of grains, and no one can guarantee that he will get sick. Isn't it good to have a skilled doctor like me who can save his life without paying for the consultation?"
Although her voice was getting smaller and smaller, the silly princess still spoke out what was in her heart.
Wang Jie'en almost laughed out loud, but he quickly closed his mouth and retreated to an inconspicuous corner.
The emperor was also laughing in his heart, and looked suspiciously at the silly princess who was kneeling on the ground obediently. Looking at her posture, it was really ugly! She didn't know the etiquette of being a royal princess at all.
Today, the Minister of Rites Rong Zhixing secretly reported that the Princess of Qin possessed extraordinary medical skills and cured the congenital disease of Zhao Wuji, the orphan of the Prince of Wei, and also cured the acute intestinal abscess of Lin Xianer, the cousin of the Prince of Qin.
There are rumors that Cao Bin's mother had been blind for two years due to an eye disease, but her eyesight was miraculously restored. I wonder if it was the work of the Princess of Qin? The Princess of Qin deliberately concealed this matter, which must be a conspiracy.
Thinking of this, the emperor's face darkened! "Princess Qin, did you cure Cao Bin's mother's eye disease?"
[This matter has also been exposed and leaked? 】
Luo Li's heart sank again, and she lay on the ground with her head down and replied, "Your Majesty, Cao Bin's mother's eye disease was cured by the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor. He said that such a complex and meticulous surgery would take three to five years for someone with great talent like me to learn.
However, I will definitely work hard to learn the art of treating eye diseases with the Ghost Hand Poison Medicine. If the ladies in the palace get eye diseases in the future..."
: "Shut up!" The emperor shouted angrily to stop the silly princess from speaking. Why do they have to bring all the ladies in the palace with them for every illness?
Wang Jie'en saw the look in the young eunuch's eyes and stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, Cao Bin is here."
"Send him in."
After Cao Bin came in, he saw the Princess of Qin kneeling on the ground in an awkward posture. He was startled for a moment, then knelt down and paid his respects to the Emperor as usual.
"Your Majesty, long live the emperor!"
"Lord Cao, please stand up."
Cao Bin was an important official of the imperial court. The emperor did not establish his authority over him, but he also did not grant him a seat as usual.
The emperor stared at Cao Bin and asked, "My dear Lord Cao, I heard that your mother's eyesight was restored because of the cure of the Princess of Qin? Is this true?"
Cao Bin was shocked!
Luo Li, who was kneeling on the ground, was even more shocked! She cursed the cunning and shameless emperor inwardly. How could a king of a country lie to his ministers?
Cao Bin calmed himself down and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, it was not the Princess of Qin who cured my mother's eye disease. It was the uncle of the Prince of Qin, the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, who cured my mother's eyesight after she had been blind for more than two years.
Your Majesty, please be wise and do not be deceived by those who are greedy for fame. I dare to guarantee that this magical medical skill, except for the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, there is no other person in the world who is proficient in it. "After Cao Bin finished speaking, he looked at the Qin Princess who was kneeling on the ground with disdain.
Luo Li heaved a long sigh of relief, felt relieved, and secretly praised the cunning Cao Bin.
[It is said that an old man who refuses to die is a thief. Cao Bin is really a thief. He was not fooled by the emperor. ]
"In that case, let's wait for the Prince of Qin to return to the capital and let the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor come to report to the emperor!" The emperor believed it in his heart. Perhaps the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor is the only one in the world who can master this miraculous medical skill that can cure these incurable diseases!
In his heart, he believed that the Minister of Rites Rong Zhixing was just making a false report, but he did not want to let the foolish princess who disrespected the emperor off easily.
"Princess Qin, you are rude and ignorant of royal etiquette. You should stay in the palace for now and let your mother, Queen Song, teach you for a few days!"
Luo Li felt a little aggrieved. This palace had become a den of wolves and tigers. Once she entered, she was under house arrest and could not leave.
Having narrowly escaped a catastrophe today, she did not dare to bargain and replied honestly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. I will follow my mother and learn the rules well."
