The Road to Fame as an Imperial Physician

"Dare you, this is really the crown prince's token?!"

Yun Molian was a little surprised, Xie Lingbai hummed and said: "That's natural, do I look like the kind of person who deceives people casually?! Now you know how powerful I am."

"Tch, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are good. I see that the prince just now is quite familiar with Wen Changheng."

Xie Lingbai suddenly remembered that he hadn't mentioned Wen Changheng's identity to Yun Molian and the others. He had already arrived in the imperial city, and they would be together from now on. It would definitely be impossible to hide it, so it's better to make it clear earlier.

They continued to walk forward, Xie Lingbai briefly told Yun Molian and the others about Wen Changheng's real identity in a low voice, and they were even more surprised now.

In the palace, Zhao Lingrui came to Zhao Linglan's residence, Zhao Linglan was about to have a meal, when seeing Zhao Lingrui came, he said: "Brother, prince, let's have a meal together?"

"Where have you been lately?"

Zhao Linglan smiled and said, "Don't you know where I went?!"

"what is your purpose?"

"What purpose can I have? It's just that I don't want to marry General Cao. Why? The crown prince wants to help me? The emperor likes you so much. If you can intercede for me, maybe it will be fine. I'm sure you'll be very grateful."

As he said that he was about to go in, Zhao Lingrui grabbed her by the arm, seeing the surrounding court ladies and eunuchs looking at each other, he sent them down first.

Zhao Linglan pulled out her arm and said to Zhao Lingrui: "Don't worry, if I really want to harm them, why would I do nothing."

"How much do you know?"

"No more, no less, but definitely more than you."

Zhao Lingrui looked a little serious, Zhao Linglan smiled and said: "Okay, why are you so serious, like a little old man, you want to protect Xie Lingbai, don't you?"

"so what?"

"So please don't worry, the target of my approaching them this time is not Xie Lingbai. Of course, it doesn't rule out that I am a little curious about him, but I am different from you, and I have never owed him anything."

"Then who is your target?"

"Who is my target has nothing to do with you, brother prince, I can tell you very clearly that I really have no malicious intentions. At least, so far, I haven't thought of harming them."

After Zhao Linglan finished speaking, seeing that Zhao Lingrui still had some disbelief in her eyes, she added: "Compare your heart to your heart. In fact, once Xie Lingbai appeared, the two of us were in the same situation. You didn't intend to harm Xie Lingbai. And why do you think I will hurt him?"

"Better so."

"Actually, to be honest, why should you blame yourself for the mistakes made by your parents, I'm sorry Xie Lingbai's person is not you, so you don't care about it.

Moreover, even if you make some compensation now, in the end, after they know the truth, they might still think that what you did was just acting for them with ulterior motives. "

"That's none of your business."

"The last thing in the royal family is affection. Even if blood is thicker than water, it will be washed away by interests."

Zhao Lingrui looked at Zhao Linglan for a while, then smiled and said, "Sister Sihuang is much wiser than I imagined, it seems that she is always pretending to be innocent."

"A truly simple person can't survive here. You know this better than me. It's not that I want to pretend. It's just that if I want to survive, I can only do so. I was born in an emperor's family and enjoys the status, wealth and power that everyone envies. , In fact, sometimes life is not as good as that of a commoner.”

"One day, the freedom you long for will be available."

"Is it?"

"You are different from me. You can be free but I can't. I don't know whether to say you are lucky or unlucky."

Zhao Linglan laughed when she heard the words. The two had been siblings for more than ten years, and they never had the opportunity to chat so openly. This time, they found out that they are different from each other.

"Although we have no blood relationship, your younger brother is better than I imagined. If I knew this, I should have contacted you earlier."

"It's not too late now."

"Dining together?"

"No, I have to go to Shang's study, next time."

After seeing off Zhao Lingrui, Zhao Linglan stood there for a while, and the maid who had just retreated came back to her side and said in a low voice: "Princess, Concubine Liu Guifei sent someone to tell you to come over. "

"understood……"

Zhao Linglan knew in her heart that this trip would definitely be another reprimand, so she was very irritable and lost her appetite at all, so she simply didn't bother to eat, so she just passed by.

She really hates this place, when will she really be free? !

"I've seen the fourth princess."

"Where is the concubine?"

"Your Majesty has something to do now, let you wait here for a while."

"Um……"

Zhao Linglan had no choice but to ask her to come and wait at the door. She didn't know what the hell was going on. It would be great if she could get closer and listen to what was being said. Unfortunately, the guards were too strict.

In the dormitory, Concubine Liu Gui, who was sitting directly above, looked at the person standing below with a somewhat ugly expression, as if she had some doubts about what he said.

"You mean, Xie Yang's son is currently in the imperial city?"

He Lianzhi nodded: "Yes, Xie Lingbai."

"He has the guts to come to the imperial city, heh, are you tired of work?!"

"It is said that they came here for the imperial physician selection meeting in the middle of the month."

"The imperial physician selection meeting? What? He still wants to be an imperial physician? Back then Xie Yang ran away with his tail between his legs, and he still wanted to inherit his father's career? I don't even want to see what kind of place the imperial palace is!"

"It is said that they are here to investigate the extermination of Xie's family."

"For a person like Xie Yang, even if he is killed, he deserves to die. If he is still alive, if I find him, he will only die more painfully. It will be cheaper for him."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the lower officials will definitely not let Xie Lingbai pass the selection."

"Wait a minute." Concubine Liu Gui said after thinking for a while, "I feel that instead of letting him live freely outside, it is better to let him enter the palace. There are a thousand ways to die in this palace."

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Emissary He Yuan is usually quiet, but he is a sensible person. Thanks to you for notifying me this time, don't worry, I will definitely not stand idly by when there is a need in the future."

"In this case, I will thank the empress first, and if there is nothing else, the next official will leave first."

"Um……"

When He Lianzhi exited the dormitory, he met Zhao Linglan who was waiting outside. Zhao Linglan watched him go away curiously, thinking that this seemed to be the envoy of the imperial hospital, how could he appear here?

Outside the palace, Xie Lingbai and the others walked around the bustling places in the imperial city at night, and wandered back to the other courtyard after eating and drinking.

"Master, the fried wontons here are not as delicious as those made by Lianxiang—"

Yun Molian said contemptuously: "Xie Lingbai, it's not good, you ate so much just now!"

"It's better for me to eat than for you... But I was always curious before, but now that I have really arrived in the imperial city, I feel that it is not as good as Xixia City. You can't talk casually here."

Xiya city is high and the emperor is far away, the biggest official is the county magistrate, and Zhang Tian is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, so it doesn't matter if he makes a little mistake.

But it's different here, where you can easily meet high-ranking officials or even the royal family and nobles, if you are not careful, your head may move, it is too insecure.

"There are many right and wrong in the imperial city."

"I think so too, master, let's go back to Xixia City after we finish what we have to do."

Wen Changheng didn't agree, instead his eyes suddenly became deeper. Xie Lingbai followed his gaze and found a person standing at the door of the other courtyard they bought.

A person he didn't really want to see, He Lianzhi.

Xie Lingbai had a headache. He had forgotten that this person existed. When he was in Xixia City, the Heyuan envoy was obviously not at odds with him.

And even though he was Wen Changheng's younger brother, what he said was really too much.

He Lianzhi seemed to have been waiting for quite a long time. When he saw them, he was stunned for a while, and then he smiled and walked in front of them.

"A Xun, why didn't you look for me when you came back?"

"I just arrived today, why don't you go in and wait?"

He Lianzhi seemed a little happy when he heard these words, "I, I'm afraid you won't see me, but I don't want to just go back like this...so..."

"come in……"

Wen Changheng walked in first, He Lianzhi followed, Yun Molian leaned into Xie Lingbai's ear and whispered, "What's the situation with these two people? Why does something look wrong?"

Xie Lingbai snorted. He didn't feel anything when he was in Xixia City before, but now it seems that the affection in He Lianzhi's eyes is really obvious.

Could it be that He Lianzhi...

"Xie Lingbai..."

Wen Changheng turned his head and yelled at Xie Lingbai. Xie Lingbai came back to his senses and responded, only to hear Wen Changheng say: "Are you going to be the gatekeeper there?"

"what……"

Xie Lingbai muttered something, and hurriedly followed. When the group came to the main hall, the maids had already served tea and pastries.

"What's up?"

Wen Changheng asked He Lianzhi, and He Lianzhi replied: "A Xun, you will not leave this time when you return to the imperial city, right? I want to say that I will take the initiative to give up the seat of the court envoy."

"Lianzhi, as I said before, you have been doing very well in the past few years. Compared with me, you may be more suitable for this position, so don't say such things in the future."

"But this seat belongs to you!"

He Lianzhi was a little anxious. If he was willing to return to his original post, he would definitely stay in the imperial city for a long time, instead of leaving at any time like now.

"I won't stay in the imperial city for long."

Wen Changheng also seemed to see his intentions, He Lianzhi's eyes were full of disappointment, Xie Lingbai and Yun Molian exchanged glances, this envoy of He Yuan seemed to really like Wen Changheng!

Xie Lingbai gritted his teeth, he really didn't think of this level, so before He Lianzhi targeted him so much, was it because he liked Wen Changheng?Alas, my master is really... a troublesome beauty? !
