Du Kefa arrived at the princess's manor.
"Fuma, you're finally here…"
"Fuma…
When the guards and maids in the princess's manor saw Du Kefa, they greeted him in panic.
"How is Changle?"
Du Kefa asked as he walked into the princess's manor. If it were anyone else, the guards of the princess's manor would have already set up their swords.
However, the person who broke into the princess's manor was the Fuma.
After Du Kefa entered the princess's manor, he went straight to Chang Le's room.
After entering the boudoir, Du Kefa saw Chang Le leaning on the bed with a towel on his forehead.
Du Kefa walked over to Princess Changle's bed. The Imperial Physician was writing a prescription. When the Imperial Physician saw Du Kefa, he cupped his hands and said,""Doctor Jiang He of the Imperial Physician Department greets Lord Du.”
"How is Changle?"
" Reporting to Your Excellency, the princess is weak and her heart is in a state of anxiety. I will prescribe a nourishing medicine for the princess. She will recover in less than three to five days. However, during this period, the princess cannot be stimulated again..."
Jiang He served as a doctor of the Imperial Physician Department. His official position was from the eighth grade. He had no real power.
Jiang he
Official Position: Doctor of the Imperial Physician Department
[Strength: 60]
[Stamina: 60]
Intelligence: 80
Military Strategy: 70
[Medicine: 90]
In the Great Tang, the status of imperial physicians was not high. Imperial Physician Jiang He's official position was not even comparable to that of a county official, a seventh-grade county official, an eighth-grade county magistrate, a ninth-grade bailiff…
Doctor Jiang He of the Imperial Physician Department was on the same level as the county magistrate.
"Go and brew the medicine for the princess." When Du Kefa heard that Chang Le was fine, he was finally relieved.
"This official will take his leave!" Imperial Physician Jiang He left the princess's manor and returned to his clinic. The Imperial Physician Department of the Tang Empire was not perfect. Most of the imperial physicians in the Imperial Physician Department had their own clinic and would report to the Imperial Physician Department every three days. Usually, they would be in their own clinic, treating the commoners and collecting medical fees.
Compared to the later Imperial Physician Court, the system of the Imperial Physician Department was slightly crude.
Every year, the Imperial Physician Department would conduct an assessment of the imperial physicians. Those who failed the assessment would be dismissed.
Chang Le opened her eyes. When she looked at Du Kefa, she raised her arm.
……
An hour ago.
She was tending to the flowers and plants in the manor when a maid ran to Chang Le's side and exclaimed,""Princess, it's not good. The Fuma…"
"What's wrong with the Fuma?"
"The newly conferred Princess Xiang Cheng is going to marry the Prince Consort. Moreover, Princess Xiang Cheng said that if she can't marry Lord Du, she will never marry…"
When Princess Changle heard the maid's words, she was so angry that she fainted in front of the flowers and plants. Changle's coma frightened all the guards and maids in the princess's manor.
If anything happened to Princess Chang Le, all the guards and maids in the princess's manor would be in deep trouble.
……
Princess Changle raised her head and looked at Du Kefa.
How could she ask?
This man was her future husband. The two of them had already decided on a marriage. Suddenly, a princess of Xiang City appeared. How could Chang Le accept this? How could she ask this?
Du Kefa looked at Chang Le and changed into a new towel. He dipped it in hot water and placed it on Princess Chang Le's forehead.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. My husband only favors you in this life…"
When Du Kefa heard the imperial doctor say that the fire was attacking his heart, he knew why Princess Chang Le had fainted. It was most likely that what had happened in the court had reached Chang Le's ears.
Hearing Du Kefa's comforting words, Princess Chang Le propped herself up and leaned against Du Kefa's legs. When the maids and guards saw this scene, they all left the princess's room.
Four hours later, the imperial physician Jiang He returned to the princess's manor. He held a medicine jar in his hand, and the medicine in the medicine jar was filled with a decoction.
After Du Kefa took the medicine bottle, he fed the soup spoonful by spoonful into Princess Chang Le's mouth.
……
As for the case that Li Shimin had given him, Du Kefa was not in a hurry to investigate it.
In Du Kefa's opinion, this case had already fallen into the water and was not challenging at all. Du Kefa just wanted to wait for Gao Shilian and Zhangsun Wuji to come personally.
If Du Kefa led his troops to their residence to capture them, there would be no room for negotiation.
According to the case, Gao Shilian did not cause any deaths even though he had been a hindrance. He had gone to Xiang City to persuade the Xun family to avoid the world. Although he had threatened them, there was no conflict between Gao Shilian and the Xun family.
If this case was investigated too seriously, it would be a case of deceiving the emperor and killing him would be justified.
However, if they were to be investigated further, they would at most be fined their salary.
……
At the Minister of Personnel's Office.
Gao Shilian in the Ministry of Civil Affairs Shangshu Fu, look fear and depression.
Zhangsun Wuji sat in front of Gao Shilian. He had just come out of Fang Xuanling's mansion. He had originally wanted Fang Xuanling to go to the Supreme Court to plead with Du Kefa.
However, Fang Xuanling rejected Zhangsun Wuji.
Fang Xuanling couldn't interfere in this matter…
"Ancestors, is there no other way? If Du Kefa captured me and brought me to the Supreme Court, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk out alive!”
Gao Shilian was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and he was in charge of reviewing the transfer and promotion of officials. Among the three provinces and six ministries, the Ministry of Personnel had the most power and was also the most important.
Gao Shilian being the Minister of Personnel was enough to show his position in Li Shimin's heart.
However, even if Gao Shilian was Li Shimin's favorite minister, he could not stop the investigation of the Supreme Court. Even if a royal family entered the Supreme Court, they would die.
Ever since Qin Han, every prince who broke the law would be sent to the Supreme Court for investigation…
Gao Shilian had been having trouble eating and sleeping for the past two days.
"Uncle, even though the Supreme Court's Minister Du Kefa is impartial, he is still a member of the Du Family. I will go to the Du Family again to discuss with Du Ruhui…"
Gao Shilian suddenly stood up and said,""No need. I'll go to the Fuma residence.”
"Uncle, what do you mean?"
Gao Shilian looked at Zhangsun Wuji and sighed."" It's a blessing, not a curse. If it's a curse, it can't be avoided. If I go to the Supreme Court now, I can still see him as the Minister of Personnel Affairs. If I'm captured by him and sent to the Supreme Court, I'll be a prisoner…"
Zhangsun Wuji looked at Gao Shilian and said,""Now that things have come to this, we can only do this.”
Gao Shilian changed into a set of embroidered clothes and sat in a sedan chair, heading to the Supreme Court.
……
In the Supreme Court, Du Kefa was reviewing the case files.
"Minister of Personnel Affairs, Gao Shilian requests an audience!”
Du Kefa had just reviewed a file when the delinquent from the Supreme Court shouted.
Du Kefa raised his eyebrows and thought,"I'm finally here. I'm going to straighten out this case from beginning to end today!”
Du Kefa walked out of the main hall.
Gao Shilian pretended to be in high spirits. After seeing Du Kefa, he cupped his hands and said,"Lord Du, this old man greets you."
"Lord Gao, it's an honor for you to come to the Supreme Court!”
Du Kefa invited Gao Shilian into the main hall of the Supreme Court and ordered people to prepare fragrant tea.
Du Kefa was Du Ruhui's third younger brother. Outside of the court, Du Ruhui and Gao Shilian were of the same generation, and Zhangsun Wuji was Gao Shilian's nephew. In terms of seniority from Du Ruhui, Du Kefa was even one generation higher than Zhangsun Wuji.
And Li Shiming was Zhangsun Wuji's brother-in-law…
However, fate was playing a trick on people. Du Kefa married Princess Changle, so there was no way to talk about seniority. They could only talk about their own seniority.
After entering the hall of the Supreme Court, Gao Shilian glanced at the delinquents of the Supreme Court. Du Kefa immediately understood Gao Shilian's intentions and dismissed them.
For a moment, only Du Kefa and Gao Shilian were left in the hall.
Du Kefa looked at Gao Shilian and said,""Did Lord Gao come to the Supreme Court today to discuss something important?”
As soon as Du Kefa finished speaking, a scene that Du Kefa did not expect happened in front of him!
