Chapter 114 Femme fatale 1
Chapter 114 Femme fatale 1
It has been half a month since the Empress Dowager's incident, and the harem has returned to its former tranquility. Even Concubine Li Gui, who has always been in charge of the harem and has a lot of troubles, has been quiet for a while.
It can be seen that although the queen mother has not appeared for ten years, her influence on the harem is still there.
After Emperor Shenglin announced that the Empress Dowager had just recovered from a serious illness, the threshold of the bedroom where he temporarily allowed the Empress Dowager to live was almost trampled down by the concubines of the harem.
Especially some concubines who have entered the palace within ten years and have never seen the real face of the queen mother run extraordinarily diligently.
This can not only show filial piety in front of the empress dowager, but also get close to the emperor's palace, maybe he will be caught and invite the emperor to his palace.
This is such a good thing, who would still be willing to dodge in his own palace.
After coming and going, the queen mother thought it was noisy, so she used the excuse that she was still ill, and did not see guests except in the morning and evening.
Only Mo Tianran, the third princess, and He Jinxi, the grandchildren who have won her favor, can say a few words of personal affection.
Everyone saw the momentum and saw that He Jinxi had entered the cabinet, so they started a tug-of-war to court him and his wife.
On this day, the sun is fine, there is no cloud in the sky, and even a little wind is too extravagant.
Mo Tianran looked up at the dazzling sky, quickly lowered his eyelids, blinked, took a step back, and returned to the shade.
It was almost midsummer, and the days were getting longer and hotter.
Half a month without rain made him feel a tightness in his chest.
"Doctor Mu, are you going back to the palace?"
Followed by his chief bookkeeper, Lin Ruomei, who helped him carry the medicine box, and asked cautiously.
According to the rules, everyone in the imperial hospital, including Mu Chengqi, had to be honored as Mo Tianran, His Royal Highness, and no matter what, he had to be honored as Mu Yuanjue.
But Mo Tianran still made people call him Mu Taiyi, only saying that it was more affectionate to call him that way.
That's why this doctor who was promoted by him to assist him in his work dared to call him that.
"Yes, you go and lock the medicine box, go eat by yourself, remember to take notes of what you said today, and study hard by yourself when you have time."
Lin Ruomei nodded hurriedly when she heard the words, "I would like to follow the advice of Imperial Physician Mu."
Mo Tianran nodded, turned and left from the corridor.
Lin Ruomei looked at his back with a smile on her lips, and sincere respect burst out from the depths of her eyes.
He was originally a child from a poor family. He studied medicine because the elders in his family had been seriously ill for many years and could not be cured. He determined to learn medical skills since he was a child, and he wanted to heal his relatives.
He worked hard to be admitted to the Tai Hospital, but even though he worked hard, his grades were not as good as those of the famous children who were taught by famous teachers. He had to study harder, get admitted to the doctor as soon as possible, and then stay a few years later to become an imperial doctor.
But the longer he was in the hospital, the more helpless and painful he felt.
It was because he clearly discovered that the relationship in this hospital is complicated, many people, such as the head of the hospital, the original judge, the chief of the hospital, and even the doctors are all related to each other.
Since this dynasty, Tai Hospital has been controlled alternately by different families.
Born into a humble family like him, not to mention becoming the head of the hospital, even the lowest official rank is rarely touched.
For Lin Ruomei who only wanted to improve his medical skills, although it was a blow, it would not break him down.
As long as he can cure his family's close relatives, he will be famous and rich, and he will not ask for anything.
But what he really thought was simple. Although there are hundreds of doctors in the Tai Hospital, although they can do a lot, they are limited in the end, and what they can learn outside of books is even more limited.
It's more about miscellaneous chores, which can only increase the experience of refining and grasping medicines. If things go on like this, it's just becoming an excellent medicine boy, which has limited effect on improving medical skills.
And he doesn't like to climb the dragon and attach himself to the phoenix, and he hugs the thighs of those powerful and powerful people, which makes him even more excluded, and he can only do some trivial errands all day long.
Although Lin Ruomei is helpless, she does her best to do everything well, but she feels more and more difficult to realize her ideals in a place controlled by family and relationships.
Xu is that the heaven pays off, and heaven rewards those who work hard.
When Lin Ruomei was conscientiously doing these unremarkable chores, Mo Tianran noticed.
"Your handwriting is very beautiful. From now on, you will be my master book. How about doing some paperwork for me?"
Lin Ruomei still remembers Mo Tianran's expression when he said these words, as indifferent as water, but his eyes twinkled like stars when he looked at him, revealing his admiration for him.
Let him see a glimmer of ideal dawn.
"Yes, Your Highness the Tenth Imperial Concubine." Lin Ruomei replied.
"Just follow the doctor." Mo Tianran replied.
Lin Ruomei was stunned immediately, and suddenly there was an indescribable respect in her heart.
After that, Mo Tianran would take him with him wherever he went out of the palace.
Even the Queen Mother's bedroom is the same.
He stood on the sidelines, watching how Mo Tianran communicated with all the dignified nobles in a polite and polite manner, and how he examined, diagnosed and treated them.
He will even give him some pointers on some unspeakable things, teach him what to say, how to say it, how to say half of it, and not half of it.
Lin Ruomei didn't dare to think about these things in the past, whether it's the medical skills she can learn, or the way of doing things.
Mo Tianran taught him subtly.
Since he became the master of Mo Tianran, he has envied many people and made many eyes red with jealousy.
It is the wish of many people to have the guidance of Mo Tianran.
And these, Lin Ruomei got.
The poor boy who was bullied and looked down upon by others has suddenly become a very popular character in the hospital, whom everyone wants to curry favor with.
Those who had pushed him aside had to bow down to him, apologize to him, and beg his forgiveness.
These people have all brought haze to Lin Ruomei's life and became the driving force for him to swear to rise to the top.
Now, without waiting for him to rise to the top, they worshiped him earlier than he expected.
This is all because of Mo Tianran.
For a moment, Lin Ruomei also felt that she was too lucky and happy.
He was even worried that this blessing would be too great and it would ruin his lifespan.
But even if her lifespan is shortened, Lin Ruomei feels happy to have this good teacher, and regards it as the greatest blessing in her life.
Lin Ruomei remembered that she had looked down on Mo Tianran earlier, and felt that he was also one of those people who relied on connections to get to the top, but only a little.
It wasn't until he made outstanding achievements repeatedly that Emperor Shenglin valued him after marrying the tenth prince, regardless of his status, let him continue to serve as the prime minister, and there was a change.
Now, the more he gets along with Mo Tianran, the more he is convinced by him.
He is not only his bole, but also his life mentor.
Lin Ruomei thought more than once, how could she know Mo Tianran.
He can only work harder to learn medical skills, live up to his value, and heal his family's dear ones for his long-cherished wish.
After thinking about it, he took the medicine box and prepared to go to the cafeteria for dinner.
Although Mo Tianran asked him to lock the medicine box before going out, he knew what the medicine box meant to a doctor.
Although Mo Tianran is very popular, it is inevitable that some people will be jealous and resort to pickling methods against him.
Lin Ruomeiruo didn't know this before, but she learned a lot during the time she was admitted to the imperial hospital and suffered.
Therefore, he always brought the medicine box with him, and kept it away from anyone except Mo Tianran, for fear that someone would harm Mo Tianran.
He had just passed the corner when he suddenly saw a figure.
If he was unprepared, his heart would inevitably tremble, but he was still calm and did not show the slightest trace.
Looking at the figure again, it turned out to be a young eunuch with a serious face.
Lin Ruomei frowned, "Who are you, and why are you here at Tai Hospital?"
The little eunuch seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, looking at him with burning eyes, "Of course it is to wait for Master Lin to book you."
Lin Ruomei frowned in confusion, and looked him over, "Wait for me? What's the matter?"
The little eunuch looked at him fixedly, and smiled, "There is a good deal, I want to talk to Mr. Lin."
Lin Ruomei's expression remained unchanged, staring at him vigilantly without saying a word.
The little eunuch continued, "Master Lin doesn't have to be so nervous, it's just a trivial matter, just a matter of convenience, and it won't affect Master Lin's career."
Lin Ruomei hates people who play tricks like this, but this person has a very serious face, I don't know who it is from the palace.
He remembered Mo Tianran's words, and he took a deep breath, "What does the little eunuch mean by these words, I hope you can express it clearly."
The little eunuch smiled, "Although Master Lin is the master of the ten imperial concubines, he has a lot of support and status, but the salary Weibo of the Imperial Hospital, no matter how many things you do, you can only get so little money. The villain heard that the master There are relatives in the family who are seriously ill, so there are naturally many places to spend money to buy medicinal materials, so..."
Hearing this, Lin Ruomei's heart moved, but her face was still calm, "Little eunuch has checked it."
The little eunuch hurriedly said, "Master, you don't have to worry about it. You just ask someone to do something. You have to find out what the other person's needs are before you can repay them. Don't you think so?"
Lin Ruomei glanced at him, then nodded slightly, "There is some truth in what you said, little eunuch, don't be fooled, please speak up if you have something to say."
The little eunuch said, "Boss Lin knows people and interests, and he will have a bright future in the future, but right now there is something, I want to ask the book boss for help, in fact, I want to get some medicinal materials."
Lin Ruomei asked curiously, "Get the medicinal materials? Who is the little princess? If you want to get the medicinal materials, you can just come to the Imperial Hospital to get them."
The little eunuch said, "Of course there is an unacceptable reason to bother Mr. Lin. Moreover, the slave's master wants unusual medicinal materials, so he asked the slave to find Mr. Lin for accommodation."
Lin Ruomei said, "The medicinal materials are specially guarded, especially the rare medicinal materials. I'm afraid I can't do it."
As he said, he turned sideways to avoid the little eunuch and wanted to leave, but the other party immediately stopped him.
"Master Lin, my master gave it to you." The little eunuch quickly stuffed a large stack of banknotes into his hand, "The remaining money will be handed over to Master Lin after the matter is completed."
Lin Ruomei glanced at the banknote in her hand, she remained motionless, neither returned the banknote to the other party nor put it away.
There was a smile and a trace of contempt in the eyes of the little eunuch, and he continued to curry favor with him, "Master Lin is indeed as my master said, he is not a person to be fooled."
Lin Ruomei remained calm and just smiled.
The little eunuch said, "Actually, my master admires the ten imperial concubines' medical skills, and wanted to learn some self-defense. He took some medical books to study on his own, but he didn't dare to let others know. After all, in this harem, no matter the prince, princess, or concubine, many things are important. It's not that I can do whatever I want, I can only think of this method, I'm afraid I will have to trouble Master Lin to help me get some medicinal materials, medical books and so on in the future."
He said again, "Master Lin, you can rest assured, my master just borrowed it to study and check, and he will return it after using it."
Lin Ruomei frowned, "Really will return it?"
The little eunuch immediately said, "Your servant will guarantee you my head."
Lin Ruomei looked at him hesitantly, and the little eunuch stuffed a few more in his hand, "Master Lin, you can rest assured."
"Can you tell me who the little princess is?" Lin Ruomei said, "so that I can work harder."
"This... I hope the master will forgive me. When the time comes, the master will definitely meet the master Lin in person."
Lin Ruomei nodded, stared at the bank notes in her hand for a while, and finally accepted them.
"There is one more thing to ask my little eunuch." Lin Ruomei said, "If I get those, how can I give them to you, little eunuch."
The little eunuch lowered his eyes slightly, staring at the medicine box in his hand.
"I'm afraid no one will dare to check the medicine box of the Ten Imperial Consorts lightly."
Lin Ruomei looked at his hands following his gaze, "Elder-in-law is really smart."
"Master Lin is being polite."
Lin Ruomei looked around, accepted the note handed to him by the little eunuch, nodded, "Find a more secluded place in the future."
The little eunuch smiled and bowed to watch him leave.
After Lin Ruomei left, the little eunuch took a hidden path and detoured for a long time before returning to his residence.
"How are things going?"
"Back to the master, everything is going well." The little eunuch smiled a bit thief, like a mouse in a dark and damp cave in the corner who dare not see people.
A sneer came from the mouth of the person sitting in the high hall.
"If you ask for something, it will be easy to do it." The man said, "You will hand over to him in the future, don't do it first, wait until he relaxes his guard, and then do it."
"Yes, master." The little eunuch answered courteously.
"Go down." The man said.
The little eunuch bowed back and backed away, leaving the man alone.
"Mu Xiurong, Mu Xiurong." The man muttered to himself, "I'm doing this for our future, don't blame me."
