The Road to Fame as an Imperial Physician

Three days later, the new emperor ascended the throne, Concubine Luo became Empress Dowager Luo, and Concubine Liu Gui also became Dowager Liu Gui. On the day of the enthronement ceremony, an amnesty was announced.

But this amnesty refers to the fact that prisoners who commit common mistakes can be pardoned, and those whose crimes are too serious will not be included in the ranks of pardons.

Just like He Lianzhi who is still in the sky prison, but he didn't think about pardoning him, he just wanted to execute the sentence as soon as possible, but it's a pity that the first emperor sentenced him to be executed by Qiuhou Wen.

"Someone is here to see you."

The jailer's voice sounded from the side, and He Lianzhi, who was sitting in the corner, quickly raised his head, but the look of anticipation in his eyes faded away when he saw the person coming.

After the cell door was opened, Zhao Lingrui walked up to him and squatted down, and laid out all the food in the cage.

However, at this time He Lianzhi had returned to his previous state, with his hands hugging his knees, his head resting on his knees, and he was indifferent to the food in front of him.

"I'm disappointed to see it's me? Who do you hope? Gentle?"

He Lianzhi's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak. Zhao Lingrui handed the chopsticks in front of him, but he didn't reach out to take them.

"Not hungry? I think you are not used to the food in this prison, right?"

Zhao Lingrui waited for a while, seeing that he didn't move at all, he had no choice but to place the chopsticks in the cage, then took out the bottom plate of pastries and placed them in front of him.

He Lianzhi's eyes froze, staring at the plate of pastries, Zhao Lingrui stood up, and after leaving the cell, he stretched out his hand to take a piece of pastry.

When he was six years old, his parents sold him to help his brother study. He was sold to many places in three years. Every time he said or did something wrong, he would be beaten all over his body. At the beginning, he still hoped that someone I can save him, but after a long time, I no longer have extravagant hopes.

When he was nine years old, he was so badly injured that he thought it was impossible to save him, so he was thrown on the side of the mountain road, only to be rescued by Wen Xun and his master passing by.

The wounds on his body will heal, but the wounds on his heart are incurable. It took Wen Xun half a year to get him to speak.

"This snack is called Pea Yellow. It's delicious. You'll definitely like it."

Nine-year-old Wen Xun handed a plate of snacks to He Lianzhi as if offering a treasure. Although the two were the same age, they looked much younger due to He Lianzhi's long-term malnutrition.

He was homeless, so Wen Xun asked his master Zhou Wuyu to accept He Lianzhi, and the two became brothers. He Lianzhi thought that they would always be together like this from now on.

Since when did everything change?It probably started when Zhou Wuyu took back his daughter Zhou Laner who had been in his hometown when he was 13 years old.

All the kindness and warmth he had felt came from Wen Xun. Even though he knew that Wen Xun only treated him as his younger brother, he still greedily wanted to grab all of them.

It's a bit warm, and I didn't feel it when I didn't touch it. Once I touched it, I was never willing to let go.

Thinking of the past, He Lianzhi finally couldn't help crying. Zhao Lingrui, who was hiding at the corner, took a look in and saw that the person who didn't respond to what he said just now was crying like this because of a plate of pastries. I couldn't tell what kind of mood I was feeling for a while.

He walked out of the prison slowly, and stopped in front of Wen Changheng who was waiting at the entrance of the prison.

"Are you really not going in to see him? I think he might want to see you very much."

Wen Changheng glanced at the entrance of the prison, sighed and said, "That's it..."

"What happened to the dish of pea yellow? Does it have any meaning? When he saw it, he cried."

Wen Changheng didn't answer, turned around and left, Zhao Lingrui thought to himself, both of them are bored, they can't ask anything, it's really worrying.

As for Xie Lingbai, he was bored in Zehua Palace these days, not going anywhere. He didn't know how to deal with the three-year contract that Concubine Liu Gui proposed to him before.

If it is said to refuse, it seems too cruel for Concubine Liu Gui, after all, she has been looking forward to being reunited with herself for 20 years.

But if he agrees... how can he agree?

"My lord, Doctor Wen is here."

Zhao Lingxi ascended the throne as the emperor, Xie Lingbai, the fourth prince, became the fourth prince logically, he finally got used to the identity of the prince, and now he has to change his identity again.

When Wen Changheng came, he always looked forward to when Wen Changheng would come to him on his own initiative, but now that the person really came, he hesitated again.

"My lord?"

"Just say I fell asleep."

"Yes……"

After the maid went out, Xie Lingbai scratched his hair a little irritably, he hadn't figured out what to do, seeing Wen Changheng at this time, what did he say?

If he told the truth, what would Wen Changheng think?Maybe he will propose to separate in order to fulfill his filial piety.

He walked out of the dormitory in a little distraught, but at the entrance he saw Concubine Liu Gui walking in. Recently, she would bring supper over every night.

However, the better she treated Xie Lingbai, the greater the guilt in Xie Lingbai's heart.

"Xiaobai, come here and see what Concubine Mother brought you."

Xie Lingbai walked into the courtyard, Caihui next to Concubine Liu Gui put the cakes on the stone table, Concubine Liu Gui said: "The kidney bean cake that Mother Concubine cooks for herself, quickly taste how it tastes."

He took a piece and tasted it. Concubine Liu Gui's cooking skills are definitely not as good as the imperial chef's, but it's not bad.

"How about it?"

"good to eat."

"It's the best if you like it, and the concubine is worried that you won't like it if it's not cooked well."

Concubine Liu Gui saw that Xie Lingbai's expression seemed to be a little troubled after she finished speaking, and she asked, "How is it? After thinking about it for three days, it should be clear, right?"

"I... I can stay in the imperial city for three years."

"Really?"

"But, I don't want to be separated from Wen Changheng, I..."

"Xiaobai, why don't you understand what mother and concubine want? If you insist on being with a man, what will the common people think of you then?"

"But I don't care about that."

"You don't care now. When the rumors spread, you will know that it is not that simple. You are a good child of the mother and concubine, and you can't go astray."

"I just want to be with the person I like, how can it be considered a crooked path?"

"You can change someone you like. There are many high-ranking officials in the imperial city who have not left the cabinet. You can find any type you want."

"But I don't have feelings for them, I just..."

"I really can't figure it out, what kind of medicine Wen Xun gave you? Why are you so obsessed with it? Have you forgotten your father's last instructions?"

Even though the late emperor did not give any instructions, but at that time he held Xie Lingbai's hand with that of Concubine Liu Gui, in fact Xie Lingbai knew in his heart that he wanted him to be filial to Concubine Liu Gui.

Concubine Liu Gui is his own mother, and he also wants to be filial, but the problem now is that the two of them have very different opinions.

If he wanted to satisfy Concubine Liu Gui, he had to give up Wen Changheng. He couldn't do this, but he couldn't stay with Wen Changheng with peace of mind.

On one side are relatives who have only been reunited after 20 years of separation, and on the other side is his lover. As the saying goes, the palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh. He really doesn't know what to do to get the best of both worlds.

Both sides don't want to lose, but now it's clear that you can't have both, so why does this kind of problem have to be thrown to him?

"Mother Concubine knows that Xie Yang's family has treated you very well these years, so Mother Concubine doesn't care about what Xie Yang and Xie Yan did back then. Mother Concubine has already sent someone to Xixia City to pick up his son Xie Jinqing."

Xie Lingbai was stunned for a moment, "Did you send someone to pick up Xiao Jin?"

"That's right, Concubine Mu knew that you couldn't let him go, so she sent someone to bring him over. Don't worry, Concubine Mother will definitely treat him as her own son at that time, and she will never hold any hatred."

Concubine Liu Gui originally hated Xie Yang's family very much, but she also knew the position of Xie Yang and the others in Xie Lingbai's heart.

So in order to keep Xie Lingbai by her side, she can give up those hatreds, and even accept Xie Jinqing.

"Xiaobai, mother concubine doesn't want you to stay by my side forever. It was agreed before that it will only be three years, is that okay? Our mother and son have really been separated for too long. Do you have the heart to leave now?"

"Now it's not the question, but how can you take Xiao Jin over without asking my opinion?"

"what happened?"

"Xiao Jin grew up in Xixia City, and everyone he knows is in Xixia City. If you send someone to bring him to this strange imperial city, he will not be used to it. Moreover, he may not like it. Here, even if you don’t ask me, at least ask his own opinion first!”

Concubine Liu Gui didn't know that Xie Lingbai would have such a big reaction, and she didn't know what to say for a while. She wanted to make Xie Lingbai happy, but she ignored Xie Jinqing's thoughts.

"Mother Concubine just wants to make you happy..."

"If you really want to make me happy, don't force me anymore. Let me tell you clearly, I can stay in the imperial city for three years, but I won't be separated from Wen Changheng. This is what I can do." The biggest give in."

After Xie Lingbai finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave. Concubine Liu Gui hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Xiaobai, don't be so impulsive, let's not talk about this topic anymore, let's change..."

"Anyway, I'm not going to change my mind."

"But..." Concubine Liu Gui still wanted to say something, Xie Lingbai had already gone to the bedroom, she turned her head helplessly, and finally caught a glimpse of someone on the roof, and was shocked when she saw it clearly.

"be careful!"

She yelled, Xie Lingbai turned around with some doubts, and saw Concubine Liu Gui rushing towards him, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch it, and suddenly the voices of the guards were heard around him.

"There are assassins, catch the assassins!"

assassin?Xie Lingbai looked around suspiciously, only to see a black shadow flashing across the roof next to him.

"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, are you okay?"

Concubine Liu Gui stood up straight and touched Xie Lingbai's arms. Xie Lingbai shook his head and said, "I'm fine..."

"It's fine, it's fine..."

As she spoke, she slowly slid down, Xie Lingbai reached out to support her again, and asked with some doubts: "What's wrong with you?"

Feeling that the touch on his hand seemed a little weird, Xie Lingbai raised his hand to take a look, and was completely shocked, because his hand was actually full of blood.

"Mother Concubine...Mother Concubine?"

Concubine Liu Gui's expression was a bit painful, but when she heard this sentence, she still smiled happily at Xie Lingbai, Xie Lingbai panicked instantly, hugged her in her arms and shouted: "Emperor doctor, Send it to the doctor!"
