Cixi hesitated and asked, "Build roads?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "That's right, we should build roads, if we build a road that can go straight to Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan, once there is any change in these places, the king will come at night, and there is no need to worry that they will have a heart of disobedience."

Cixi's tone was full of affirmation, and she said, "Okay, then you will be up to you to prepare for the road construction." ”

Lin Yuan smiled again: "We can't build ordinary roads, because the roads of these roads are basically transporting a large number of people and weapons and equipment, and if we want to transport a large number of people and weapons, the only way to build a railway." ”

Cixi listened, and after a long time, she said: "Okay, we will discuss the matter of building the railway later, and you are lonely, Lin Aiqing, you should go back too." ”

Lin Yuan got up to say goodbye, and Wan'er walked a few steps from inside to Lin Yuan's side, and said in a low voice, "How can you mention the matter of the railway?" Normally, she must be annoyed, so go back quickly. ”

Lin Yuan walked outside and happened to meet Li Lianying, so Lin Yuan asked, "Hurry up and tell me, why can't the Queen Mother listen to the construction of the railway?" ”

Li Lianying pulled Lin Yuan to the side and said mysteriously: "The Queen Mother has provoked unclean things!" ”

Lin Yuan wanted to laugh when he heard this, but seeing Li Lianying's serious appearance, he forced down the laughter, and he asked, "Did she bump into something unclean?" ”

Li Lianying said: "Usually it's good, didn't she let Xiao Dezhang go to your military camp?" As soon as Xiao Dezhang came back, Lafayette's eyes began to shed tears for no reason, for example, he was looking at the concerto? The tears in these eyes 'brushed' down. ”

"It's been amazing recently, just more than half a month ago, Lafayette was looking at the chapter, and said to the minions, why are there mosquitoes in this early spring, and they always fly around in front of my eyes, and the minions thought at the time, this place where flowers and plants gather is the easiest to give birth to mosquitoes, so the minions took the servants to clean up the grass in front of and behind the Chuxiu Palace, and in the corners."

"I thought there were no mosquitoes this time, who knew that Lafayette said that he could see mosquitoes, and he was angry and punished a palace maid, do you know who this palace maid is? It's Lord Lin, I said Lord Lin, you always don't go home when you're outside, let a big girl stay alone in the empty room, can you bear it? ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Why was Guan'er punished again?" However, he was anxious to know the situation of the Empress Dowager Cixi, so he coughed softly and said to Li Lianying: "You continue to talk about the Empress Dowager." ”

Li Lianying hurriedly said: "In the next few days, the Queen Mother said that this eye could not see things clearly, and it was blurry from time to time, and we invited the most famous Imperial Doctor Li in the palace to show Lafayette, but he said that he didn't know what kind of disease this was, so the minions thought that it was bumping into something." ”

"It just so happened that the slave heard that there was a fairy surnamed Mu in the capital, and the magnates in the capital had dealings with him, so he wanted to let him enter the palace to take a look, but when he saw it, he really bumped into something, and the wood fairy asked who had come back from outside recently, and this said that it was said that Xiao Dezhang was on his body."

"The wood fairy then said, Xiao Dezhang went to the Northeast, and now there are a lot of railways in the Northeast, and the railways need to be opened to open the mountain, and the monsters in the mountains are released, so he followed Xiao Dezhang to the palace and attacked Lafayette."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It's really interesting that such an absurd reason can be made up." Thinking like this, Lin Yuan came out of the palace and came to the Tai Hospital, where the medical officer hurriedly greeted him, greeted Lin Yuan with a smile, and asked, "Lord Lin, are you here to see a doctor?" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "I'm looking for Imperial Doctor Li, is Imperial Doctor Li here?" ”

The medical officer asked, "Which Imperial Doctor Li are you looking for?" We have several doctors surnamed Li here. ”

Lin Yuan said: "It's the one who treated Lord Li Hongzhang." ”

The medical officer smiled and said, "You are looking for our ambassador, I will call you." The medical officer trotted all the way, and after a while, he brought an elderly medical officer, who was the Imperial Doctor Li that Lin Yuan saw at Li Hongzhang's house that day.

Lin Yuan and Imperial Physician Li met each other, Lin Yuan waved his hand to let the young medical officer go down to see that there was no one around, and then asked Imperial Physician Li: "What kind of disease does the Empress Dowager Cixi have?" ”

Doctor Li said: "The villain has been practicing medicine for many years, and he has indeed never seen this disease. ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "You still claim to have practiced medicine for many years, can't you even see the disease of eye impairment?" ”

It turned out that Cixi was suffering from cataracts, which mostly occurred in the elderly, Lin Yuan heard it from the symptoms described by Li Lianying, and Imperial Doctor Li was stunned by Lin Yuan's question, nodded again and again, and said: "Of course, Xia Guan knows about the disease of eye impairment. ”

Lin Yuan accentuated his tone and asked, "Since you know the disease of the Dao Eye Barrier, don't you know the Dao 'Golden Needle Obstacle Removal Technique'?" ”

"Golden needle obstacle removal technique" is a technique of ancient medicine in our country, which has been recorded in the history books of the Tang Dynasty as early as possible, and has been described in many medical techniques of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

When Imperial Physician Li heard the word "Golden Needle Obstacle Removal Technique", his whole body trembled, and then he shook his head silently and said, "Xia Guan is only a shallow learner, and he has never heard of the Golden Needle Obstacle Removal Technique. ”

Lin Yuan saw Imperial Physician Li's panicked look in his eyes, and said sharply: "Nonsense, you must have heard of the Golden Needle Obstacle Removal Technique, if you don't admit it again, I will put you in the prison of the Criminal Department and interrogate you with a big punishment!" ”

Imperial Doctor Li was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again, and said: "Don't, don't put me in the prison of the Criminal Department, I'll tell you everything, that's the case, although the lower officials have heard of this golden needle obstacle removal technique, but the lower officials don't know how to use it, and the person who gets sick is the mother of the Qing Dynasty, if I can't cure my head, I will move, so I don't dare to say that I will treat it, so I have to say that I don't know what kind of disease I have, so I want to escape this catastrophe." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, if you don't have anything to do, I won't arrest you, don't be afraid." Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Cataract surgery is not a complicated matter, with our current technical strength, we can do it, if her disease is cured, the matter of building a railway can be decided." ”

Lin Yuan thought again: "This wood immortal doesn't know what kind of character Lu Dao is, why does he want to link the matter of getting sick with the railway?" This wood fairy looks quite mysterious, I should investigate him well, how should I investigate him? ”

Lin Yuan suddenly thought of Guan'er, she was often by Cixi's side, she should have seen this wood immortal, and she could find some clues from her, and then he remembered what Li Lianying said about Guan'er being beaten, and he couldn't help but feel sad for a while, so he thought about buying a few things to give to Guan'er.

But after thinking about it, I didn't know what to buy for her, so I bought some small jewelry, returned home, and waited until the evening, Wan'er came back, Lin Yuan asked people to prepare a table of delicious food, and asked during the meal: "I heard that there is a wood fairy who has been very favored recently, I don't know if you have heard of this person?" ”

As soon as Guan'er heard this person, her face suddenly changed.
