Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 204 Identity
When the master and servant arrived at the imperial hospital, Sun Fuzhi was arranging the prescriptions that the queen had been taking these days. Seeing Ling Youyao coming, he immediately put away his things and stood up to greet her.

"Doctor Sun doesn't need to be polite." Ling Youyao looked at the stack of prescriptions behind him and asked, "Are you busy?"

"I'm not busy, I'm just sorting out the prescriptions that the empress has used recently." Sun Fuzhi's expression was as cold as ever, but his tone was more respectful.

Ling Youyao frowned slightly and said, "Is there something wrong with your mother? Why did you take so many medicines in such a short period of time?"

"Your Majesty is in good health. Some medicines have only been taken once or twice, and what I'm drinking now are only prescriptions for nourishing the fetus and nourishing the mind. These prescriptions are because the imperial hospital needs to register them, and the next official will sort them out. Wangfei don't have to worry about it."

Hearing what he said, Ling Youyao breathed a sigh of relief, "Most winter is over now, please watch over the empress's side."

Maybe it's because she's too sensitive, every time she sees the queen drinking medicine, she's always worried.

Ling Youyao only remembered that the year the queen had an accident was a severe winter with heavy snowfall. After the New Year's Eve, this winter will be over, but she doesn't know if the next winter will be safe.She can't stay in the palace all the time, so she can only ask Sun Fu to do her best.

Sun Fuzhi nodded slightly: "It is the duty of the lower officials to take good care of the empress's health."

As he said that, he handed the ointment he took out to Ling Youyao, and said: "This ice muscle jade ointment is the most effective for scars. I have seen it before. The wound on your hand is not deep, so there should be no scars."

Ling Youyao's smile froze for a moment before she said that the wound was deep, but now she was exposed in public, which was somewhat embarrassing.

"So, I'm relieved."

This brief conversation ended in silence.

Ling Youyao looked at Sun Fuzhi's eyes that were always calm, trying to find someone similar to her in her memory.Speaking carefully, she didn't know Sun Fuzhi well, but only knew that there was a special relationship between him and Fu Mingjue.That kind of relationship is not a friend, nor is it like a master and servant. More precisely, it looks like a transaction between them.As for what the deal was, no one knows.

There was a hint of weirdness in the quiet atmosphere at that time.

Ling Youyao's eyes seemed to be clear and clear, but at this moment they were full of inquiry.

Sun Fuzhi observed her words and expressions, and knew that she was probably suspicious of him, but when she was about to speak, Ling Youyao said: "Physician Sun, have you known the prince for a long time?"

Hearing this question, Sun Fuzhi remained calm and said, "Soon, there will be more than three months."

This answer is not what Ling Youyao wants.

If they only met for three months, why would Fu Mingjue allow him to freely enter and leave the palace?Even Jiang Liu treated him with courtesy.Although Sun Fuzhi is the imperial physician in the palace, but most of the time he looks like the imperial physician of the palace.

Sun Fuzhi seemed to see what she was thinking, and explained: "Grandfather went to Lushan to treat the empress's father at the order of His Majesty. He was not in Beijing during this period, so he handed over the affairs of the Imperial Hospital to the subordinate officials."

Ling Youyao suddenly realized: "It turns out to be like this."

The dean of Lushan Academy is a world-renowned bachelor, and many ministers in the court are his students. His Majesty sent envoy Sun Yuan to go there in person, which shows that he attaches great importance to him.

"Grandfather's return date is uncertain, if the princess has anything to do in the future, just ask the next official to do so." Sun Fuzhi looked respectful.

Ling Youyao smiled, and was not polite to him: "Then there will be Doctor Lao Sun." After finishing speaking, she got up and was about to leave.

Sun Fuzhi sent her out of the imperial hospital in silence, and when he was about to walk back, he suddenly heard Ling Youyao say: "Doctor Sun, do you have any other brothers and sisters in your family?"

Hearing this, he froze suddenly, only felt that the snow in front of him was dazzlingly bright, and slowly turned around to look, only to see that the light-colored figure under the palace wall had gradually merged with Bai Xue.

Sun Fuzhi stared at the direction where Ling Youyao was going away for a long time, with a complicated expression on his face.

Is she testing, or has she noticed something?
——The answer is in the heart.

The wind and snow had subsided, and the dark clouds hanging over the capital seemed to be receding.Sun Fuzhi looked up at the slowly moving dark clouds, and sighed softly. Now he can only hope that Fu Mingjue will return to Beijing as soon as possible.

At this time, the situation in Liangzhou was not optimistic.

Jiang Zhou braved the wind and snow and pushed the door in, bringing in a burst of chill. After closing the door quickly, he shook the snowflakes off his body before walking in front of Fu Mingjue.

"My lord, the mountain road is blocked by snow, and one day is enough to clear it out. Just look at this day, the snow should not stop for a while. It may be difficult for us to return to Beijing before New Year's Eve."

Liangzhou is located on the border of Dayan, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack, it is a natural barrier to protect the capital.But every year in winter, Liangzhou will always be hit by blizzards, and the roads will be blocked by heavy snow. It is possible to be trapped here for ten and a half months.

Fu Mingjue's expression was indifferent, and he didn't react too much. He just asked, "Have you prepared the food and grass for the winter?"

"It's all ready, and it's no problem to survive this winter."

"En." Fu Mingjue thought for a while, and then ordered: "The heavy snow came suddenly, let them strengthen the guards at the border, so as not to sneak into the pass by Beidi."

Jiang Zhou said: "This subordinate understands, but if we cannot return to Beijing this year, should we send a letter to inform the capital?"

Fu Mingjue's eyes still fell on the book, looking at the brisk and slightly jerky handwriting, with a touch of tenderness at the end of his eyes, he closed the book silently, and said, "I don't need it for now."

After putting away the book, he said to Jiang Zhou, "How about the matter I asked you to check earlier?"

It was Xie Yuanting who asked this question.

Jiang Zhou said: "Go back to the lord, my subordinates have found out that Xie Yuanting met the eldest princess in the first year of Yong'an, and entered the princess mansion in the spring of the second year. He is quite liked by the eldest princess, and his status in the princess mansion is not low. Xie Yuanting stayed in the Princess Mansion for five years, during which time he escaped many times, but each time he failed, only this time he has not been captured."

"What about his identity?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhou hesitated, "My lord, families with the surname Xie are rare in Dayan, and the most famous one is the Xie family in Chenjun."

A slight astonishment flashed across Fu Mingjue's eyes, and he said, "Is he Lushan Xie's family?"

"More than that, he is the only younger brother of the empress," Jiang Zhou continued, "his real name is Xie Heng, and his style name is Yuanting. He has been traveling all these years, living in no fixed place until he met the eldest princess five years ago. I just settled down in the princess mansion."

The only son of Lushan Academy, the queen's younger brother.
Fu Mingjue did not expect that a small counselor in the Princess Mansion would have such a background, he said in a deep voice, "Have you found out the reason why he entered the Princess Mansion?"

If there were no unavoidable reasons, he would definitely not believe that a person like Xie Yuanting would be willing to be the head of the Princess Mansion for five years.

Jiang Zhou shook his head: "I haven't found it yet, but it is said that he was knocked out by the eldest princess before taking him back. According to his subordinates, he should have been injured, and he may have stayed in the princess mansion to avoid his enemies."

Since Xie Yuanting was young, he has been roaming the rivers and lakes, and it is possible to provoke one or two enemies.

But Fu Mingjue thought that things were not as simple as they appeared on the surface, and said, "Have you found his whereabouts?"

"Not yet, after he left the Princess Mansion, he seemed to have disappeared, and his subordinates also asked people to go to Lushan to see him, but he didn't go back. But I heard that the empress is also sending people to look for him." Jiang Zhou said.

Fu Mingjue narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Since he was able to stay in the princess mansion for so long without being discovered by the queen, he must have some ability in him. Send people to continue the investigation, and we must find him."

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

But Xie Yuanting, who was far away from Qianshan Mountain, didn't know at all that there were more people chasing him.
