The Road to Fame as an Imperial Physician

"Mr. Xie, this is the sweet-scented osmanthus lotus seed soup that the prince ordered someone to send over. It is made of fresh sweet-scented osmanthus."

Ya'er put the sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed soup on the table in front of Xie Lingbai, and then poured out some for him. Xie Lingbai put down the medical book in his hand, and said, "Thank you, my lord, for me."

He picked up the bowl, took a spoon and tasted it, the taste was a bit weird.

"The sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed soup in your palace is really unique."

"It's good that doctor Xie likes it."

Xie Lingbai was a little speechless, can he say that this taste is really bad? !But people sent it over with good intentions, and I always feel embarrassed not to drink it.

In the end, he barely drank half a bowl, and then lied that he was a little full, and asked Ya'er to clean up. After Ya'er retired, although Xie Lingbai was reading medical books, under the current environment, he couldn't read much. words.

At first I suspected that the death of my parents was related to my own background, but now Concubine Liu Gui hates my father so much, why?If Concubine Liu Gui sent someone to kill his parents, then what happened in the first place?

Doesn't it have nothing to do with your own life experience?Just because he offended Concubine Liu Gui?And what happened to the queen?He came to the door for no reason to cooperate, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd...

Entering the palace on the second day, in the afternoon Wen Changheng reminded him to be careful in the past two days and not to try any messy things casually. This reminded Xie Lingbai of the sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed soup last night.

"Speaking of messy things, King Chan sent me a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed soup last night. The taste is really... hard to describe."

"What? Doesn't taste good?"

"It's just... Maybe they have a strong taste. Anyway, it feels salty and sweet. I can't tell what it is. I still feel a little uncomfortable in my mouth when I think about it now."

Wen Changheng frowned: "Salty and sweet?"

"Well, after thinking about it, if it wasn't for the unique taste, then it's very likely that the cook mistakenly took salt for sugar, but that's not right, it's still a bit sweet. Anyway...it's scary..."

"Don't drink if you don't like it."

Wen Changheng didn't know what the terrible taste Xie Lingbai described was like, but if it was just ordinary sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed soup, it would be impossible to make it taste both sweet and salty.

"master……"

Xie Lingbai looked left and right for a while, making sure no one noticed them, and then asked in a low voice: "You said that Ge Fan's forces are waiting for an opportunity, and you said that you have been paying special attention these two days. Is it possible to do it in Japan?"

"Every year on the eighth day of August, the emperor will lead his ministers to the altar to pray to heaven."

"That's the day after tomorrow... But isn't the emperor sick this year? You want to go too?"

"This is the perfect time."

Whether it is for the forces of all parties or for the emperor himself, the next day's prayer ceremony is the best time, so it is impossible to cancel it.

"Follow me the day after tomorrow."

"Um……"

Afterwards, Wen Changheng gave a few more instructions. When he left the palace in the evening, Wen Changheng asked Wei Ze: "You said you replaced the package of medicine that the queen sent out of the palace yesterday with powdered sugar?"

"Yes."

"Powdered sugar..."

Wen Changheng murmured, his eyes were a little deep, sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed soup are usually sweets, and the medicine powder was replaced by powdered sugar by Wei Ze, so how could the made lotus seed soup be sweet and salty!

"You send someone to check carefully, who else handled the package of medicine yesterday."

"Master, is there something wrong?"

"I always feel that something is wrong."

"This subordinate will send someone to investigate."

But Xie Lingbai was relatively slow to leave the palace. He hadn't reached the gate of the palace at this time, but he happened to meet Concubine Liu Gui again. He always felt that Concubine Liu Gui looked at him a little strangely these two times.

"Doctor Xie is leaving the palace?"

"Yes."

"I heard that Imperial Physician Xie is now living in Prince Chan's Mansion?"

"Yes."

"Doctor Xie knows Prince Chan very well?"

Xie Lingbai felt a little baffled. Although he was not very familiar with Prince Chan, he seemed to be even less familiar with the noble concubine in front of him, right? !

"It's Prince Chan who thinks highly of this humble minister."

Concubine Liu Gui wanted to step forward, but was held back by Caihui beside her, and then she remembered that there were eyeliners everywhere in the palace, so she couldn't act too much.

"If the empress has no other orders, I will leave first."

"Has Doctor Xie seen the Emperor?"

"I have seen."

Concubine Liu Gui nodded and opened her mouth, but Xie Lingbai waited for a long time but she didn't have anything to say.

"Is there any order from your mother?"

"No more, the palace is full of dangers, but it may not be safe outside the palace. Thank you, Imperial Physician... and don't trust others too much. As the saying goes, people's hearts are separated from their belly."

"Thank you for reminding me, ma'am."

After bidding farewell to Concubine Liu Gui, Xie Lingbai scratched the back of his head in confusion. The people in this palace are really unpredictable. Let's take this concubine as an example. She seemed to admire him very much when she first met. Then he hated him to the bone.But now, in the transition to the third stage, caring like a kind elder.

baffling……

"Your Majesty, it's windy, let's go back to Liu Palace."

"it is good……"

Concubine Liu Gui looked in the direction Xie Lingbai was going away, and then walked back reluctantly. After returning to Xiliu Palace, Caihui brought red date tea.

"Your Majesty, take a sip of tea to moisten your throat."

"Bengong is really greedy. Originally speaking, he just took a look from a distance, but couldn't help but go up to talk to him. I'm afraid it will make him unhappy again."

"Your Majesty is overthinking."

"Look at his cautious look, as if he is afraid that I will do harm to him, huh, but this is also my own fault, but I have suffered for that child. I don't know how the past 20 years have been. Caihui, what is this palace? Not a particularly incompetent mother."

"It's not that the empress wants to separate from His Highness. The only thing to blame is that the Xiao family is too cruel and merciless. However, with the blessing of God, the empress and His Highness are finally reunited, and now they are just waiting for the opportunity to get to know each other."

"Opportunity... Is there any chance for me..."

"My lady, don't think so."

"Xiao Eryue controlled him, didn't he just want to restrain me. Now that the emperor is seriously ill and I can't take action, then only she and Concubine Luo are left. After all, the eighth prince is neither the eldest son nor the first son. If the emperor does not issue an edict I'm afraid his voice won't be too loud, but in the end, it's the Xiao family who will laugh, if the Xiao family gains power..."

The Xiao family and Concubine Liu have been in conflict for so many years. If the Xiao family really gains power in the end, they will definitely try their best to suppress the Liu family.

"I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that her conscience has not been completely wiped out, and I don't want to touch my child. Otherwise, even if I risk my life, I will definitely drag her to die together."

Caihui was startled, but she couldn't say any words of consolation. She could see how her mother had missed His Highness in the past 20 years, so she could naturally understand her feelings.

I just hope that all of this will end as soon as possible.

Two days is actually very fast in normal times, but now the situation is different, Xie Lingbai always feels that these two days seem to have passed two years, and the sense of urgency is getting stronger every day, and it is overwhelming I can't breathe.

It’s hard to survive until the eighth day of August, the day of praying for heaven, but after thinking about it today, it seems that I can’t relax even more. Originally, I came to the imperial city to investigate the truth about the murder of my parents, but now I’m going to be involved in treason. incredible.

I don't know if I can find out the truth after this incident is over.

"The prayer ceremony has officially begun."

Xie Lingbai withdrew his thoughts, the altar was set in the middle of the imperial city, but because the emperor was coming to pray to the heavens, the common people were not allowed to approach the altar today.

However, Xie Lingbai felt that such a rule was not bad, otherwise, if there was a fight later, many people would be injured by mistake.

He secretly raised his head and glanced ahead. Apart from the empress, the emperor was followed by Concubine Liu Gui and Concubine Luo, and then a group of princes and princesses, but he did not see Zhao Lingrui.

Xie Lingbai has never seen Zhao Lingrui since the news of the abolition of the crown prince spread, and he doesn't know how he is doing these past few days, so he must be very sad.

From the beginning to the end of the praying ceremony, it took two hours (four hours) in total. Everyone had their own thoughts, but nothing happened until the end.

After being frightened all day, after returning to Prince Chan's Mansion, Xie Lingbai felt that he did not look like a good person to anyone, and if he continued like this, he would go crazy sooner or later.

"Doctor Xie is sighing, what are you doing?"

Xie Lingbai turned around and looked at Zhao Longfan, the prince seemed to be at ease, without any worries at all.

"I've been standing all day today, so I'm a little tired."

"If you're tired, go to bed early."

"My lord, I just had dinner now, is it too early for a rest?"

"If you don't rest now, I'm afraid you won't have time to rest."

Xie Lingbai narrowed his eyes, and said seriously: "What does the lord mean by this? Could it be that the empress has any instructions?"

I didn't move at all during the day today. Could it be at night?But if you count it, it is obviously more convenient to do things outside the palace than in the palace.

Zhao Longfan looked up at the night sky, it was pitch black, not to mention the moon, not even a single star.

"It's going to rain."

"My lord, there are people coming from the palace."

Zhao Longfan's personal guard came over to report, Xie Lingbai looked behind the man with some doubts, but did not see anyone coming.

"What's the matter?"

"The Chenxi Palace where the emperor lives is on fire."

Zhao Longfan didn't react much, but Xie Lingbai opened his eyes wide, and asked: "Why did it catch fire? Is it serious?"

"Now that the fire has been brought under control, the empress thinks that someone did it deliberately, so now she has sent people to surround the entire Chenxi Palace, saying that she wants to escort her."

Xie Lingbai sneered in his heart. In name, he was an escort, but in fact he was just looking for an excuse to put the emperor under house arrest. Could this queen be so blatant?

"My lord, is this your plan?"

"It's time to show you the real plan."

After Zhao Longfan finished speaking, he walked towards the gate of the courtyard. Xie Lingbai glanced at Wei Qian, motioned him to inform Wen Changheng, and then followed.
