The Road to Fame as an Imperial Physician

"Then Xiaojin..."

"He's fine. Zhang Tian led people into Wen's residence at night, but was stopped by the secret guards and Wan Qijun."

"Magistrate Zhang? He is actually the queen's man, so when Wan Qijun kidnapped Xiaojin, the county magistrate's badge he showed when he left the city gate was not stolen at all, but was given to him by magistrate Zhang."

Xie Lingbai couldn't figure it out, how could the empress arrange a pawn in Xixia City, which is thousands of miles away from the imperial city.

"Master, is it true that the queen sent Zhang Tian to Xixia City to investigate my father and my aunt? No, Zhang Tian and the others arrived at Xixia City at about the same time as my father. , how could it be possible to start last year?"

"Zhang Tian shouldn't have been too involved in the exchange of princes at the beginning, but since the empress has thought of a plan to switch, she must prepare a baby girl in advance. There may not be many baby girls who were born at the same time in the imperial city, and Yunfu, Exactly."

Xie Lingbai had heard that Yun Mansion was originally in the Imperial City, but it was later moved to Xixia City. Could it be because of this?

"People from the Xiao family must have promised Zhang Tian something, so he sent his daughter who was just born a few days ago to the Xiao family without telling the family."

"So Zhao Linglan is Yundie's younger sister?"

"Ah."

"Zhang Tian entered the Zhuoyun Mansion, and has always acted like he has little status and is very cowardly. I didn't expect that he would do such a thing in private. Even his own daughter can be used as a bargaining chip in the deal. It really is As soon as power is involved, will there be no family affection..."

"Zhang Tian must also be worried that the members of the Xiao family will kill him afterwards, so he took the initiative to leave the imperial city and went to the remote city of Xixia, and he must have recognized your father who fled to Xixia city back then. Your father also reached an agreement, otherwise it would be impossible to keep it secret for so many years."

"protocol?"

"I think what the Xiao family promised him must be Zhao Lingrui's success after he inherits the throne, so when he waits for Zhao Lingrui to take that seat, if he hands over all the chips in his hand too early, it must be Not long to live."

"But how did he know that my father fled to Xixia City?"

"Maybe it's just a coincidence that they all chose Xixia City."

Xie Lingbai felt a little embarrassed. Father shouldn't have negotiated any agreement with Zhang Tian in the first place, and should have left Xixia City directly. People like Zhang Tian are really unreliable, and in the end he betrayed them for his own benefit.

Otherwise, how could the Queen suddenly know that they sent killers in Xixia City.

"It's such a big deal this time, didn't the ministers in the DPRK respond?"

It stands to reason that there must be quite a few ministers standing on the side of the Xiao family, and it must be a struggle for this kind of thing to happen.

"Although the incident happened suddenly, there is solid evidence of treason, and there are also witnesses for the transfer of the prince 20 years ago."

"Witness?"

"It's the uncles who testified for Gu Fan last time. It turns out that he has been imprisoned in Xiliu Palace by Concubine Liu Gui. He was the eunuch in charge of Xiliu Palace back then, and he came out to testify this time."

"I didn't expect that uncle beggar to have such an identity. In this way, it was not easy for him to stand up and testify for Gu Fan. After all, his identity would definitely be found out if he appeared."

"Um……"

"However, Yundie and the others probably didn't know about all of this. Now that the Yunfu's house has been ransacked, I don't know what happened to them. Master, when are we going back?

Everything here has come to an end, the vengeance of my parents has been avenged, and my life experience has become clear, so I don't want to stay here anymore, I want to go back. "

Although it was only four short days, Xie Lingbai felt really tired, every day was like walking on thin ice, and he never wanted to experience such days again.

The revenge has been avenged, and the imperial physician has also become an imperial physician. Now it is time to return to Xixia City to revive the Xie Family Medical Clinic. I believe they will be surprised.

"In your current situation..."

"The situation? Does it mean that I was poisoned? But haven't you already helped me detoxify? Is there any other worries?"

"Xie Lingbai, have you ever thought that the emperor is your biological father and concubine Liu Gui is your biological mother, and now you are this? The fourth prince of Xi Kingdom is more likely to be the prince."

"So what? Master, don't worry, I won't despise you."

Xie Lingbai was laughing and joking, and seemed to be in much better spirits, but after laughing, Wen Changheng seemed to have a serious expression, so he couldn't laugh anymore.

"Master, the imperial concubine is here."

Wei Ze's voice sounded from the door, Wen Changheng stood up and walked out, and after a while, Concubine Liu Gui walked in, similar to what she saw a few times before, with a guilty and complicated expression.

In fact, Xie Lingbai didn't hate her for anything, but although the person in front of her was his own mother, after all, she had never seen her in the past 20 years and hadn't gotten along much, so coming with him was like a stranger.

"noob……"

Xie Lingbai's eyes widened. This was the first time he heard this noble concubine call him that, and he felt uncomfortable for a while.

"Your father has restored your status as a prince. Perhaps Xie Yang also considered this when he named you, so there is not much change."

"Change? What should I change my name to?"

"You are a child of the Zhao family. The mausoleum of your generation, the mausoleum of the mountain, was named Lingbai by the emperor, so now you are the fourth prince of the Xi Kingdom, Zhao Lingbai."

Xie Lingbai didn't feel much, anyway, he didn't want to be some kind of prince, and it didn't matter what his name was, as he would still be himself if he changed his name.

"Xiaobai, are you still complaining about your mother and concubine?"

"No."

"Then how do you..."

"I need some time to get used to it."

Concubine Liu Gui nodded, she felt relieved that she didn't hear the refusal, Xie Lingbai felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward, and she had to find a topic to talk about.

"My lady, there is one thing..."

"What's the matter?"

"I heard that Yunfu's house was confiscated by Zhang Tian, ​​the county magistrate of Xixia City, who conspired with the queen, but in fact, many people in Yunfu should be innocent in this matter, including Zhao Linglan, so... ..."

"You hope you can let them go?"

"Well, is that possible?"

Xie Lingbai also knew in his heart that if he bullied the emperor, he would kill all the family members or punish the nine clans. If that happened, Yundie and the others would be finished.

"You have to know that it was Zhang Tian Gaomi, Xie Yang and his wife who suffered such an accident. Besides, if you weren't at home by chance, maybe even you..."

"That's also Zhang Tian's fault. It has nothing to do with his family. I'm friends with his son Yun Molian. It's impossible to just watch them get implicated."

"Little Bai, it's good that you have a kind heart, but in the palace..."

"Don't mention the rules of survival in the palace to me, I have no interest in those at all!"

Concubine Liu Gui froze for a moment, then nodded in compromise and said, "Okay, let's not talk, actually Wen Xun and the others have already begged for Yunfu's favor, and although the emperor has not agreed yet, I don't think his attitude is so tough. It's just a matter of time, I will go talk to the emperor later."

"That's good, thank you, ma'am."

"There is no need to be so polite between you and me. Concubine Mother has been looking forward to the day when I will meet you again. Fortunately, God has paid off, and Concubine Mother finally made it possible."

"Your Majesty, do you want to be a queen?"

Concubine Liu Gui was stunned, and said with some disappointment: "The concubine mother wants to see your son, not for the queen's position."

"I know, I actually want to say that Wen Changheng said that the emperor intends to make me the crown prince."

"You should be the prince."

"But I don't want to be. I think Zhao Lingrui must be more suitable than me."

"What nonsense are you talking about, you..."

"I want to go back to live in Xixia City."

"Are you this? The Crown Prince of Xi Kingdom, who will inherit the throne in the future, how can you live in Xixia City, Xiaobai, you are Zhao Lingbai now, not the Xie Lingbai back then."

"I don't want to be Zhao Lingbai, but if it's just a name, maybe I can accept it. As for the others, forget it."

"Are you doing it for Wen Xun?"

"I do it for myself. I like the life in Xixia City, not this cold and inhuman palace. This place is like a cage, with no freedom at all."

"But this is where you were born, where you should live, Xiaobai, this is your destiny."

"I don't believe in fate."

Concubine Liu Gui tried to calm down her emotions, and then persuaded: "Son, you may be a little resistant now because you are not used to it, wait for a while..."

"I'll go back when I recover after a while, but I can come back to see you from time to time."

"Why don't you get in? The concubine also heard about your relationship with Wen Xun from other people."

"so what?"

"Your identity, how can you be with a man, you are the crown prince."

"But I like him, I love him, and I just want to be with him."

"Your so-called love may just be because you suddenly lost your parents and lost your support, and it happened that Wen Xun appeared to help you.

He also teaches you medical skills, so you are moved, you are grateful, and you take these feelings as love, but in fact they are not at all. "

"Young concubine, I am 20 years old, not two years old. I can tell what kind of feeling is love!"

"You haven't recovered yet. If your mother doesn't quarrel with you, you will understand in the future. Besides, neither your father nor the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will allow you to go astray. Wen Xun is good, but he No matter how good you are, you are a man after all, as the blood of the royal family, especially the prince, you need to spread your branches and leaves in the future."

"That's why I said I'm not the crown prince. Whoever wants to be the crown prince can take it. What does the so-called civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and spreading branches and leaves for the royal family have anything to do with me?! My surname is Xie, and my name is Xie Lingbai! "

"you……"

Concubine Liu Gui might have been stimulated by Xie Lingbai's firm attitude, she took a few steps back and covered her heart, feeling breathless, Caihui not far away hurried forward to support her.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, take care of your phoenix body. Fourth Highness, Your Majesty has been inquiring about your whereabouts for the past 20 years. She often shed tears and couldn't sleep well at night. The imperial doctor said that she is depressed and her health has been bad. Please don't irritate her again." She is gone, she is your biological mother."

Xie Lingbai closed his eyes, and when he opened them, he calmed down a little. He said, "I was the one who got excited just now. Madam, take care of your body. It's not too late to discuss this matter later, Aunt Caihui , I trouble you to send her back to the palace to rest, if she is not feeling well, call the imperial physician to have a look."

"Yes……"

Caihui helped Concubine Liu Gui go out, Xie Lingbai finally understood what Wen Changheng was hesitant to say and acted just now. Wen Changheng also mentioned these obstacles before, but he never took it seriously at that time.

Only when we really face it can we understand what it means to be involuntary.
