It was already evening when we arrived at Duke Zhu's Mansion.

The concierge went in to inform Yuan Qingling because of his identity, but he was more or less welcome when he brought Dr. Cao with him.

After entering Duke Zhu's Mansion, there was a solemn silence inside, and the servants were all tiptoeing around quietly.

Yuan Qingling and Dr. Cao were welcomed into the main hall. The main hall was filled with people from the Zhu family. Di Weiming and his wife were also there. When they saw Yuan Qingling, they stood up and saluted with the others.

Yuan Qingling said softly, "No courtesy." Everyone present looked at her in surprise. They were probably wondering what she was doing here.

At this moment, Di Weiming said: "The Crown Princess is interested. Could you please come and greet me in person? This is the Crown Prince's wish, right? The Crown Prince is really thoughtful."

Di Weiming's words were slightly sarcastic. It meant that Yuan Qingling came here to show off on the orders of the prince.

Therefore, as soon as he said these words, everyone sitting in the Zhu family hall showed understanding expressions.

It’s not surprising. Now that the prince has just been established, he still can’t sit still, and he has just raised a political opinion. He is soliciting support everywhere, and even gets stuck by the Duke of the country. Naturally, he wants to come over to show his courtesy.

Therefore, they looked at Yuan Qingling with a bit of arrogance, as if Yuan Qingling came here with a request.

Yuan Qingling could see their thoughts. It was not surprising that the power of the Northern Tang Dynasty seemed to be concentrated on the emperor, but in fact the actual situation was not like this.

There was a cabinet in the Northern Tang Dynasty. The cabinet was headed by the chief minister. This cabinet was not a decoration, but a department that could check and balance the imperial power. Many major affairs in the country were discussed by the cabinet before being reported. Naturally, the cabinet could not act arbitrarily, but neither could the emperor.

.

This also led to the fact that sometimes when the emperor did something, he had to look at the looks of his ministers, and the prince was even less respected.

Zhu Guogong is a senior minister of the Northern Tang Dynasty. He is still serving in the army. He has meritorious service, real power and military power. He is a real big tree with roots ten miles away, so people have the right to look down on the new crown prince.

Many dynasties are like this, with a strong senator and a smooth prince. The status of the senator is difficult to shake, but the prince can be replaced.

Yuan Qingling replied to Di Weiming's words, but she didn't reply either. She just smiled slightly to show politeness.

On the contrary, Doctor Cao said: "The Crown Princess heard that the Duke's wife was suffering from gonorrhea and was in unbearable pain, so she came here specially to deliver painkillers."

Di Weiming said calmly: "Thank you very much, Crown Princess. The Crown Princess is really thoughtful and even went there personally. If you have any idea, just ask the servants below to run away."

This is still ironic.

Yuan Qingling answered his words this time and said: "This painkiller is not a prescription, it is a prepared medicine. If I don't come here in person and see the condition of the Duke's wife, I'm afraid it won't be good enough."

I don’t care if you mean it or not. Madam the Duke has done a lot of things that make us admire her. She is a good person. Good people should not suffer. General, don’t always talk about thanking you. I am not here to see you.

of."

Di Weiming was vaguely robbed, and his expression was a little cold, but after all, he was a minister who had been famous for a long time. How could he really be at odds with Yuan Qing Lingming?

Zhu Houde, the eldest son of the Zhu family, heard that there were painkillers and hurriedly stepped forward and handed them over, "Princess, Zhu Houde, a minor minister, is the eldest son of the Zhu family. Thank you very much for coming to visit my mother. Do you really have painkillers? Is the effect good?"

"

Zhu Houde is probably in his fifties, and he is chubby, fitting his name.

Yuan Qingling looked at him, nodded and said: "The curative effect is there, but I want to see the old lady's condition."

Zhu Houde said in embarrassment: "Well...since you brought the medicine here, why not give it to Wei Chen and teach him how to use it? My mother is sick in bed now. She is in unbearable pain and is really embarrassed. It is not suitable to meet guests."
