The Road to Fame as an Imperial Physician

When Xie Lingbai said this, she was actually thinking, judging from the situation last time, maybe Concubine Liu Gui was the mastermind who killed his parents. If that was the case, then he would not only hate her, but also Trying to get revenge.

However, there is no definite evidence for that incident yet, so we still have to continue the search.

Zhao Lingrui seemed hesitant to speak, Xie Lingbai walked back a few steps and pulled him forward, saying: "That's enough, Your Highness, don't worry, even if I hate her, I won't show it." Yes, let alone make trouble in the palace, and learn a lot of wisdom."

"One day you will understand. There are some things that I can't tell you right now."

"what's up?"

"Of course... In fact, there are more delicious foods in the imperial dining room than last time."

"Really? I'm really hungry after you say that. Let's go now."

In fact, Xie Lingbai knew in his heart that what Zhao Lingrui was going to say just now was not these things, but seeing that he deliberately changed the subject, he followed the topic.

Some things may not be said because the situation does not allow it, or there are some difficulties. At least one thing he can be sure of is that Zhao Lingrui will not harm him.

So just go with the flow.

Besides, if he is really the prince, then he and this person in front of him are brothers. Although people often say that there is no family relationship in the royal family, Xie Lingbai feels that blood is thicker than water after all.

Perhaps this has something to do with him growing up outside the palace.

"Xiaobai, I heard that you lived in Prince Chan's Mansion?"

While the two were eating and drinking in the imperial dining room, Zhao Lingrui suddenly said something like this, Xie Lingbai tasted the stewed emerald exquisite soup, and while thinking about what ingredients were in it, he replied: "Yeah ..."

"Why do you want to live in the palace? You don't seem to be familiar with Uncle Chan?"

"My lord appreciates me, so he invited me to stay for a few days."

Zhao Lingrui frowned, and didn't seem to agree very much. Xie Lingbai knew that he cared about herself, and said with a smile: "I live there quite well, and I will live in another place after a few days."

"Wen Xun, he..." Zhao Lingrui said this and looked at the people around him. There are quite a lot of people in the imperial dining room now, so it's not easy for him to ask directly.

Xie Lingbai gave him a look of "the master knows", then lowered his head and continued to drink the soup, praising: "This soup is really delicious, what is this called emerald?"

The two of them were chatting about the food there, and the imperial cooks on the side looked at each other helplessly. His Royal Highness brought Dr. Xie to the imperial dining room to eat and drink every day. It would not be a trivial matter if it spread.

Alas, but it is not easy to offend.

In the evening, Xie Lingbai lay on the soft bed in the courtyard to enjoy the shade, watching Wei Qian walking around, felt a little relieved.

Thinking about how I have come this far, if it weren't for Wen Changheng, I'm afraid I would have died hundreds of times already.

"See Your Majesty."

Wei Qian's voice suddenly sounded, Xie Lingbai came back to his senses, sat up and looked over, and found that Zhao Longfan had almost walked to his side, and by the way prevented him from getting up and saluting.

"My lord sees that the weather is a bit stuffy tonight, so I think that Imperial Physician Xie will not fall asleep too early, so I come over to have a drink with you, does Imperial Physician Xie mind?"

The maids behind Zhao Longfan placed two dishes of side dishes, a pot of fine wine, two wine glasses, two pairs of chopsticks on the stone table, and finally a plate of pastries.

"of course not……"

Xie Lingbai smelled the wine poured by the maid, and the gluttons in his stomach were a little itchy. He had been banned from drinking by Wen Changheng for a long time, and he almost forgot the taste of wine.

"Fragrant and rich, good wine."

He picked up the wine glass and gestured towards Zhao Longfan, Zhao Longfan also raised his glass and clinked, and both of them drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp.

"The things in the prince's mansion are really good."

"The items in my palace are nothing more than ordinary things. To put it bluntly, they are not as good as the imperial dining room. I heard that Imperial Physician Xie is a frequent visitor to the imperial dining room recently."

"Hey, well, it's only thanks to the great blessing of His Royal Highness that you can have the honor to taste the craftsmanship of the imperial chef."

As Xie Lingbai said, he took a piece of pastry, which was a very delicate pea yellow. He took a bite and chewed it with some satisfaction, thinking that since Wei Qian was here, he shouldn't be poisoned to death.

Zhao Longfan glanced at the people around him, and they all retreated to the entrance of the yard, including Wei Qian, and Xie Lingbai glanced at them with some concern.

"The King has something to say and wants to talk to Imperial Physician Xie, but too many people will get in the way."

"Oh, what does your lord want to say?"

"The doctor Xie has always been very sincere about the cooperation that I mentioned earlier, so I think it's about time to talk about the content of the cooperation."

Xie Lingbai ate the remaining half of the pea yellow in his hand, and then drank another glass of wine before asking: "What kind of cooperation method is that?"

"Does Doctor Xie know about the grievances between the empress and the imperial concubine?"

"Empress and concubine? It's nothing more than fighting for power, right? On the one hand, they are competing for the favor of the emperor, and on the other hand, they are fighting for the crown prince. It's just that the concubine has no children under her knees, so the empress is slightly better than the empress."

"To be able to secure the position of noble concubine without having any children is the real skill."

Xie Lingbai raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "How can the lord make other people's ambitions destroy his own prestige—"

"This is just an objective evaluation, but it doesn't matter if the means are high, in the end it's not a waste of water from a bamboo basket."

"It seems that the prince and the empress have already made a good plan. Should I be glad that I was chosen by you?"

"Pleasant to work with."

"I hope so."

Wei Qian, who was guarding the door, took a look in the yard, and it seemed that there was no danger for the time being. Could it be that the prince really wanted to cooperate?

After Xie Lingbai and the others chatted for a while, a dull thunder suddenly sounded in the night sky, followed by raindrops in twos and threes, and their conversation was interrupted.

In the palace at this time, the emperor was sitting at the desk in the imperial study, looking at the note in his hand, slightly clenched one hand, with a deep expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, why don't you rest early?"

"I, the king of a country, seems to be standing at the top, but there are so many people and things that are out of control under my hands. Sometimes I think about it, I am really incompetent."

"Your majesty must not think so, you are a wise king in the eyes of the people."

"There are tens of thousands of people, and you know what each of them thinks? Let alone the people, I can't even control the people around me, but..."

The emperor looked at the torrential rain at the door and said in a low voice, "This rain will stop soon."

Eunuch Lin beside him has served the emperor for decades, so he can easily guess the holy will. Hearing this, he nodded, thinking, this imperial city seems to be going to be lively.

The imperial city is now calm before the storm, but Xixia City is much more lively, and the most talked about in the streets and alleys are about the Second Miss Yunfu and Gu Fan.

"Hey, I don't know what kind of shit luck that kid had to make Miss Yun Er so devoted to him."

Four men were sitting at the table in the corner of Chaoweimu, drinking and discussing, one of them said: "Be quiet, be careful not to be heard."

"So what if you hear it, you can't let people talk about it."

"But this is his restaurant."

"Isn't it because of Yunfu that he can open such a good restaurant by himself?!"

"But I heard that he and Xie Lingbai opened this restaurant together."

"What do you think Miss Yun Er is looking for in him? I'm much prettier than him, right?!"

The other three burst out laughing when they heard the words, the man was unconvinced, knocked on the table and said, "You guys are laughing, I'm telling the truth."

"Honestly? Then why does Second Miss Yun look down on you?"

"That's because Miss Yuner didn't see me, if she saw..."

"She's in the backyard now, and you can see her when you walk in."

"That's right, just say who can't—"

A few people booed, everyone drank a lot of wine, a little over the top, the man slapped the table and said: "You think I dare not!"

He stood up and observed the other people who were eating. Now that there are more people, it should not be difficult to sneak into the backyard.

Seeing that he was really walking towards the entrance of the backyard, they all followed him as if watching a show. A waiter in the shop saw him and came forward to stop him, but he was dragged by one of them.

"You guys take care, wait for Miss Yuner..."

"Shh-"

They heard some voices ahead, they quickly quieted down, and then sneaked towards the direction of the candlelight.

"Sir, come and try this dress to see if it fits. I bought it from the street today."

"Master, you called me here just to let me try on clothes?"

"What? You're not happy?"

Gu Fan felt helpless: "It's very busy outside now, I..."

"Busy busy, you know you are busy all day long, do you still have me in your eyes?"

"Master, how long are you going to play?"

"What play?"

Gu Fan thought for a while and said seriously: "I don't know why you want to live here, but you don't need to dress like this."

"I don't look good in this outfit?"

"You obviously don't like playing Miss Yun Er."

"I don't like it, but if the only way to live in your place openly is as Miss Yun Er, then I am willing to dress like this every day."

"Why?"

"Because I like you, haven't I told you that, how many times do you want me to repeat it?"

Yun Molian sat leisurely by the bed, casually put the new clothes in his hands on the bed, and looked at Gu Fan leisurely. Gu Fan pursed his lips, looking quite helpless.

"Don't make trouble, I have to go to the front to get busy."

"Who made trouble with you? My young master is now telling you seriously that I like you. I had a bad attitude before. I apologize to you."

Gu Fan stood in place and looked at Yun Molian. Yun Molian often talked about these things these days, and he was not touched at all, but he couldn't believe that Yun Molian was sincere.

After all, I am really not good enough for him, besides, he has said repeatedly before that he would not like his type, why did he change so quickly now?

"Gu Fan, you..."

Before Yun Mo could finish speaking, there was a strange sound outside the window, which sounded like the wooden stick had been knocked down. He stood up and walked to the window, but only saw three figures running out.

"Who?"

When he chased out of the room, there was no sign of him in the yard, Gu Fan ran out and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Someone overheard us just now."

Gu Fan was stunned for a moment, and when he thought about what they said just now, he immediately put on a shocked expression. If the conversation just now was overheard, then Miss Yun's identity is...
