Chapter 372 – Emotions Out of Control
In the middle of June, the Upper Capital City finally received a sound downpour. It rained for two days and two nights in a row before the temperature dropped.
In the evening, Jiang Yishi’s mother and son went to Fu An Hall.
Just as they entered the side house, they saw a room full of people happily talking about something.
Jiang Yishi laughed, “What’s something good that I don’t know about?”
Meng Lan laughed, “Big sister bought us a lot of Water Setting Pavilion jewelry today, it’s extremely pretty and each person has it.”
Today, Meng Yue was invited by Third Grandma Li, and the two of them went to the street to buy things for most of the day, and also went to the food to have a morning meal.
Third Grandma Li was cheerful, and since she got in touch with Meng Yue, she often came to visit the Meng family, and was also very popular with the old lady.
Meng Yue was an introvert and mostly listened to what Third Grandma Li had to say. Grandma Li invited Meng Yue to play on the street a few times, but she didn’t go. Today, when the weather cooled down, Grandma Li invited her again, and Meng Yue finally agreed to go.
Because of the shadow of the “thief”, the old lady sent a lot of guards and grannies to follow her.
The family of Grandma Li’s mother-in-law is not very powerful, and her father-in-law is a minister in the Ministry of Revenue. However, Mr. Li has a good reputation, and Mr. Li has passed the entrance examination this year. Her friendship with Meng Yue might have the intention of showing goodwill to the Cheng Guo Gongfu, and the Meng family would like to see Meng Yue have such a playful friend.
A maid carried a tray to Jiang Yishi. On it was a pair of pearl earrings, a silver crystal hairpin with a bunny rabbit for a little girl, and a small jade pendant for a little boy. The crystal bunny in particular was extremely cute.
The jewelry was all very pretty, and Jiang Yishi smiled and thanked her.
Meng Er Grandma laughed, “Letting big sister break the bank, so much jewelry would be worth several hundred taels of silver.”
Meng Yue’s first time being praised and thanked like this, her face flushed red. She wanted to say a few words, but couldn’t.
Huang Xin laughed, “My mother and I have lived here for so many years, our days have been so comfortable and cozy, we should have shown our appreciation long ago.”
Meng Yue nodded, that was what she meant.
Before dinner, Meng Lianshan came to report that Meng Zhimo had an urgent matter to go to Mengjiazhuang to look for the old Duke of State, and would not be returning home today.
Something must have happened if he went to look for the Old Duke this late.
The second master and Jiang Yixi’s faces were grave. The other ladies didn’t think much about it, even if something big happened they didn’t need to worry about it.
At the hour of the next day, Meng Zhimo rushed back to the Floating Life Residence on a fast horse.
He was sweating profusely, and the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat. As soon as he entered the room, he said to his subordinate, “Get out.”
His face was serious, and the subordinate hurriedly retreated.
Jiang Yishi got up and said, “What happened?”
Meng Zhimo said softly, “Yesterday, Concubine De suddenly fell seriously ill, and the imperial doctor said that she didn’t have many days left. King Ping lost control of his emotions and almost hit the doctor, but was persuaded by Consort Ping to return to the royal residence. I heard that as soon as he returned to the royal residence, he smashed many things, and also killed a maid who ‘offended’ him.
“The Wangfei persuaded him, and his arm was slightly injured. When the king regained his senses, he was extremely regretful again, and even accompanied the princess. Alas, he is unable to control ……”
Thinking of Ping Wang’s gentleness and elegance, Jiang Yixi simply couldn’t imagine that he was like this after his rage, even the Wangfei was able to injure the Wangfei.
Meng Zhimo added, “Concubine De’s illness is an old disease that she got when she was guarding the imperial tomb, and King Ping perhaps felt that he had dragged his mother down, causing her to suffer such a great offense. The heart disease has never been able to be opened, and it became like that.”
Have this kind of heart disease people, to ensure that he sat on the throne is also temperamental tyrant. But of those several emperors, only Ping Wang came to the throne of the Meng family’s life is better.
Jiang Yishi asked, “Is there a way to persuade the king?”
Meng Zhimo sighed, “I told Grandfather that the Xixuelong gifted to you by Grandmaster Yuhe can cure that disease. We both felt that after all, it’s this kind of disease, and there’s a difference between a ruler and a minister, so it’s not good for us to directly persuade His Highness or say that we’ll give him that kind of medicine. It’s best to be persuaded by Princess De, but she’s very sick right now ……”
Meng Zhimo simply scrubbed up and re-changed into his official clothes and hurriedly left.
Jiang Yishi leaned on the welcome pillow thinking about her mind.
If it is a family member or a relative or friend who is good to get along with, even if Jiang Yishi will not be able to cure the heart disease, he will add some tear water in the medicine to try. But the one who is sick is Princess Qu De, King Ping is that kind of temperament, and has that knot in his heart, she this person who can’t cure heart disease how dare to cure the disease.
Things can’t be absolute, what if the medicine with tear water didn’t cure Princess Qu De’s disease? Sometimes good intentions were not always rewarded.
It would be good if Master was here. He is a miracle doctor and prescribes good medicine, and with the addition of eye water, he can definitely cure it.
Consort Qu De’s temperament was gentle, and if she advised King Ping, his temper would be tempered, and he might even be able to cooperate in curing that kind of illness.
Suddenly, Jiang Yishi sat up straight at once. In his previous life, when Old Divine Doctor Shen appeared at Seven Peaks Mountain was the end of October in the 20th year of Jian Rong, after the two met the old man saw the small tiger head pendant on Jiang Yishi’s body and recognized Jiang Yishi as his disciple.
Listening to the old divine doctor, before he came to Seven Peaks Mountain he stayed for a while in Wuho County’s guest house, not only for amusement, but also to taste all the dishes on the food.
He didn’t want to go into the capital, so he stayed in Wuhe County outside of the capital, and every day he would pay someone to go to the food to buy the same food.
By the time he had eaten it all and wanted to leave, he broke his leg while touring Seven Bee Mountain and met Jiang Yishi.
This year is the middle of June in the 20th year of Jian Rong, and there are still more than four months to the end of October, I don’t know if Old Divine Doctor Shen has come to Wuhe County now.
Jiang Yishi decided to wear a small tiger head pendant to go to Wuhe County to try her luck, if she can see him, I hope the old doctor can help her again in this life.
Thinking of the old divine doctor’s aged face and the satisfaction he felt when he ate the food, Jiang Yishi’s eyes welled up with tears.
She still wanted to honor the old man, it would be best to invite him to the Hu Zhuang and cook him a few more meals. The old man’s greatest hobby in life was eating, and specially treated food was delicious as hell.
Of course, it was absolutely impossible for Meng Zhimo’s grandchildren and Sister Wu to meet Old Divine Doctor Shen, or else the lie she had told earlier would be exposed.
Wuhe County is not far from the Western Mountain, she found an excuse to go to the Temple of the Annunciation for incense, and then go to Wuhe County to go around.
The excuse is good to find. Consort Qu De is Meng Ruimo’s own aunt, she is seriously ill, Jiang Yishi on behalf of Meng Ruimo went to the Western Mountain to pray for blessings.
The inn where the old doctor lives is called Shangji Inn, a special and memorable name.
In her previous life, Jiang Yishi had even gone to the inn to get the old divine doctor’s things.
Jiang Yishi asked Shui Ling to give Wu You Gui a message to go outside the palace to find Jiang Xun’s boy Wang Fu, Jiang Xun’s casual duty to come here immediately, she has urgent matters.
She also went to Fu An Hall, told the old lady that Princess Qu De is seriously ill, Meng Ruimo is busy with official business, she wants to go to the West Mountain Newspaper Temple to incense and pray for blessings.
The old lady also knew that her family was part of King Ping’s party, so of course she hoped that Consort Qu De would get better, and she agreed very quickly.
Jiang Yishi didn’t eat at Fu’an Hall, but asked the kitchen to make a few more dishes for drinks.
Meng Zhimo and Jiang Xun went down to the government office later than the general officials, at 5 o’clock the two of them came together at the Fu An Residence.
