Chapter 24: Li Yuan's Mysterious Operation
"ah?"
Yin Yuan was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Qu Tushou's simple face showed a hint of a sly smile, "When he broke into the Wude Gate, we fainted."
Qu Tushou is older and more experienced, and sees things more clearly than Yin Yuan.
As long as Li Yuanji was not stripped of his title, it meant that Li Yuanji had not fallen out of favor.
If Li Yuanji had not fallen out of favor, there would be no direct conflict with him.
So if Li Yuanji breaks into the door, he must not be stopped.
Once we try to stop him and get beaten by Li Yuanji, it would be in vain.
If Li Yuanji was beaten, Li Yuan might get angry.
Li Yuan was arrogant and unreasonable when it came to protecting his son.
Yin Yuan was confused and asked, "Why...why am I dizzy?"
Qu Tushou looked at Yin Yuan in astonishment and asked, "Why do you need me to teach you how to faint?"
Can you say that you smelled alcohol when you breathed in, felt tipsy, and then fainted?
If all else fails, the injury on my arm will suddenly flare up, causing a brain disease, and then I’ll faint?
The excuses can be so outrageous that people can tell they are made up at first glance.
But Li Yuan wouldn't care.
Li Yuan only needs you to give him an excuse, and he will generously forgive your dereliction of duty.
Qu Tushou looked at Yin Yuan with a complicated expression and sighed, "I'll go back and ask Duke Yin tonight..."
Yin Yuan realized from Qu Tushou's reaction that he must have asked a very stupid question, and then looked embarrassed.
He was just an insignificant bastard of the second branch of the Yin family. He lost his mother when he was young and had no one to love him. No one taught him the ways of the world.
The eldest uncle was unable to give birth to a son, and no one knew what he saw in him, but he actually adopted him and made him the heir to the Dukedom.
He is not stupid, he just doesn't understand the ways of the world and many of the ins and outs of the palace. He is just a little naive.
…
Li Yuanji didn't know that he had just seen two second-generation dukes discussing how to give him some leeway.
After he left Wude Gate, he wandered around Wude Hall and returned to the main hall of Wude Hall.
There is nothing to see in Wude Hall in winter.
Apart from the quaint pavilions, towers and other buildings, there is nothing worth seeing.
Most of the vegetation has withered, with only a few plum trees in the bedroom still in full bloom.
Li Yuanji wandered around the Wude Hall and came to the conclusion that the reason why the ancients liked to write poems about plum blossoms was, firstly, that they admired the pride of plum blossoms blooming in the cold winter, and secondly, that they had free time.
Because in winter, there is really nothing to see except plum blossoms and snow scenes.
Sitting on the long table in the Wude Hall, Li Yuanji opened the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" again.
This book is addictive.
This book is obviously not the one written by the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing, and it contains a lot of personal opinions.
Two days ago, Li Yuanji saw the ancient version of suturing techniques in it. In the past two days, he also saw the obscure but powerful art of sex.
It’s a pity that there are no illustrations, so I give a bad review.
I don’t know if Yang Miaoyan has seen this volume.
Li Yuanji became a little absent-minded as he thought about it.
Yang Miaoyan was like a hardworking rabbit, bringing one carrot after another to Li Yuanji.
When Li Yuanji came to his senses, he saw Yang Miaoyan, with four "radishes", looking at him curiously.
Li Yuanji first glanced at Yang Miaoyan, then looked at the four 'radishes'.
One big and three small.
The oldest one was eight years old, wrapped in thick clothes, a little dull and timid, looking like a silly winter melon.
The youngest one was three years old, and the other two were two years old. They were also wrapped in thick clothes, their eyes darting around, looking unfocused. The two youngest ones were obviously a little dazed, and were drooling.
The older one was Dou Jiande's youngest daughter, Dou Xian.
Li Yuanji handed her over to Yang Miaoyan's care and told her to take good care of her. Yang Miaoyan treated her as a child of the Prince of Qi's Mansion.
The food, clothing and other expenses are similar to those of the children in Prince Qi’s mansion.
After being dressed up by Yang Miaoyan, Dou Xian looked obviously more energetic and noble than before, but her temperament was still timid.
The three smaller ones are the "legacy" inherited by Li Yuanji.
The three-year-old one is Li Xu, the eldest daughter of Prince Qi. The two two-year-olds are Li Xi, the second daughter of Prince Qi, and Li Chengye, the eldest son of Prince Qi.
They are all born to the wives of Prince Qi’s Mansion.
Yang Miaoyan had no children, but all the illegitimate sons and daughters in the mansion had to regard her as their legitimate mother and be raised and taught by her.
So she could appear in front of Li Yuanji with a few little ones.
Li Yuanji vaguely remembered that there seemed to be no records about Li Xu and Li Xi in history. They either died early or were affected in the coup.
Li Xu, Li Xi, and Li Chengye now have only one identity, that is, the children of King Qi. Apart from that, they have no other titles or honorifics.
So far, Li Yuan has only conferred titles and honorific titles on his legitimate grandsons and granddaughters, but not on his illegitimate grandsons and granddaughters.
"Ah Lang..."
Yang Miaoyan called softly, her voice was very light and soft, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.
Li Yuanji smiled and nodded, pointing to the couch on the side.
Yang Miaoyan was not polite, nor did she need to be polite. She sat beside Li Yuanji with confidence, reached out and put Li Chengye, who was drooling and begging for a hug, into Li Yuanji's arms. She then took Li Xi and let Dou Qian take Li Xu to play in the hall.
Li Yuanji was a little at a loss as he didn't have much experience holding a baby.
Fortunately, Li Chengye was tough enough and didn't cry or make a fuss. He just drooled, stared at Li Yuanji with his big round eyes.
"What made you want to come see me?"
Li Yuanji held Li Chengye carefully and asked with a smile.
Yang Miaoyan smiled and said, "I have completed the task that Alang assigned to me, and I have come to report to Alang."
Li Yuanji said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you that you are the mistress of the mansion, it is your responsibility to handle the affairs of the mansion."
Yang Miaoyan smiled and said, "I have to tell Ah Lang."
Li Yuanji subconsciously asked, "Do you want me to praise you?"
Yang Miaoyan was stunned, and her earlobes turned slightly red.
Smelly.
Although she is not very old, she understands everything she should understand.
Her husband didn't usually flirt with her, so she felt a little embarrassed when she heard these words.
"Ah Lang, you're joking. I just heard that A Lang seemed to be in a good mood today and walked around the mansion twice. Xu'er, Xi'er, and Chengye haven't seen you for a long time, so I brought them over to see you."
Yang Miaoyan was so embarrassed by Li Yuanji that she didn't dare to play Tai Chi with him anymore and immediately told him the purpose of her visit.
Li Yuanji was a little embarrassed. He was so focused on having some free time in the main hall of Wude Hall that he forgot to think about the three children's longing for their father.
Although the three children of his predecessor had little to do with him, since he had inherited his predecessor's identity, he had the obligation to take care of them.
"When you are free in the future, you can bring them here often."
Li Yuanji said with emotion.
Yang Miaoyan was stunned for a moment and nodded subconsciously.
Without waiting for Li Yuanji to see her reaction, she continued, “Just now, the East Palace sent someone to deliver some things from the East Gate of Wude, saying that they were gifts for you. I took a look and they were all tributes from various places.
I don't know why the East Palace gave you a gift, so I didn't dare to accept it.
Now the people from the East Palace are still waiting at the East Gate of Wude."
Ever since she was tricked by her cousin, Yang Miaoyan had to be more alert and deal with all the dealings with Prince Qi's Palace.
For some things whose purpose she could see through, she would handle them herself. For those she could not see through, she would come to ask Li Yuanji for advice.
Although in Yang Miaoyan's impression, her husband is not very smart.
But in some major matters, as long as the decision was made by her husband, even if something went wrong, she could not be blamed.
Li Yuanji was obviously stunned for a moment, "Brother gave me a gift?"
Yang Miaoyan nodded slowly.
Li Yuanji seemed to be thinking about something.
After a moment, Li Yuanji understood.
It is likely that Li Yuan showed his memorial to Li Jiancheng, and very likely to Li Shimin as well.
His memorials not only disgust people, but also serve as a tool for Li Yuan to test his two sons.
But Li Yuanji thought that Li Yuan would never do this, but he didn't expect that Li Yuan actually did it.
Li Yuan’s operation is really cool.
In Li Yuan's opinion, there might be nothing wrong with doing this.
But in Li Yuanji's view, the problem was serious.
Isn't Li Yuan clearly telling Li Jiancheng that although you are the crown prince, it remains to be seen whether you can successfully ascend to the throne?
Isn't this clearly telling Li Shimin, son, you still have a chance.
Li Yuan may not have had this idea, but this is what he did.
Li Yuanji suddenly felt a little sorry for Li Jiancheng. He was disgusted by him and was stabbed by Li Yuan.
The most important thing is that after being stabbed by Li Yuan, he still didn't understand it and still gave him gifts to express his attitude to Li Yuan.
"Brother is so pitiful..."
Li Yuanji sighed sincerely.
Yang Miaoyan asked blankly: "What?"
Li Yuanji glanced at Yang Miaoyan and said with a smile: "It's nothing. Since it's something sent by my elder brother, you should accept it. As the saying goes, if an elder gives something, I dare not refuse it."
Yang Miaoyan pondered and nodded.
She always felt that something big must have happened between Li Yuanji and Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng had previously sent someone to deliver Bingzhou's official documents to Wude Hall, and they also went through the Wude East Gate, so she knew about it.
Li Jiancheng first sent Li Yuanji an official document from Bingzhou to embarrass him, and then gave him gifts. She would never believe that there was nothing going on between the two.
The closure of the Wude Hall is most likely related to this incident.
However, Yang Miaoyan was a smart woman. If Li Yuanji didn't say anything, she wouldn't ask.
"Ah Lang said it's acceptable, so I'll take it."
Yang Miaoyan said with a smile.
After saying this, he saw the Treatise on Febrile Diseases on Li Yuanji's desk and said, "Ah Lang has not fulfilled his promise to me..."
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment. Seeing Yang Miaoyan's eyes fall on "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", he immediately remembered that he had promised to help Yang Miaoyan find some female doctors in the palace to teach Yang Miaoyan some medical skills.
Yang Miaoyan could do this herself, but she wasn't as patient as Li Yuanji.
After Li Yuanji found an excuse to bring the man to the Wude Hall, no one dared to question him if he didn't release him.
However, once Yang Miaoyan summoned the person to the Wude Hall, within three days the imperial physician would come to demand the person.
Female medical officers are scarce talents and there are very few of them. When some nobles in the palace suffer from illnesses that are inconvenient for male medical officers to treat, they are needed to take action.
There are many women in the palace, and some of them have higher status than Yang Miaoyan.
Yang Miaoyan was unable to keep the female medical officer from them.
