The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 559
Mrs. Xie asked: "So, you want our child to be a hostage in the palace, don't you?"

Zhao Xuan fell silent.

Mrs. Xie gave him a dark look, but didn't say much. After Zhao Xuan went to the courtyard, Mrs. Xie's mother couldn't help but said: "Madam, do you really agree to choose one of our brothers to send out? Still young, how can this be done."

Mrs. Xie sighed secretly, and replied: "It's all the flesh that fell from my body, so I'm naturally reluctant to part with it."

A Mu frowned, and said disgruntledly: "Then why didn't you explain it to the son just now, even if you send it off at our house, you are also sending off that child of Meng Shi."

When Mrs. Xie heard the words, she laughed. She looked at Amu and said, "This matter has not been settled yet. Sending the protons to the palace is just to show our sincerity. Let us report to His Majesty to abolish the guards and increase the tribute. These two things are enough to show loyalty, and His Majesty may not just let the hostage enter the palace."

After listening to Mrs. Xie's words, Ah Mu breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still worried: "Then if the saint really wants the prince to send a hostage to the palace, what should we do?"

"I think the son of the world has been doused by the Meng family, and he is obviously reluctant to part with her child."

Mrs. Xie sneered: "But it was agreed earlier, if Mrs. Meng gives birth to a boy, he will raise him under my knees. Since I am his mother, then I have to make decisions about everything in the future."

Saying that, Mrs. Xie sighed slightly: "It's not sure whether it's a man or a woman. It's too early to worry about it now, so I don't want to quarrel with my husband over this matter. I haven't written a word about it yet. No matter how much you fight, it's pointless."

When mentioning this, Mrs. Xie fell into deep thought, she frowned slightly, and muttered to herself: "Who knows what His Majesty is thinking, I just hope that he will let us go for the sake of Prince Yong's House to take the lead in showing sincerity." One horse."

Mrs. Xie is a shrewd person who can see the details, and she guessed right, Li Ling really has the intention to withdraw from the feudal clan.

Today's Daqi, the country is rich and the people are strong, it is time to weaken the power of the vassal kings and firmly control the power in the hands of the imperial power.

But recently, Li Ling was so focused on worrying about his wife's illness that he was in no mood to think about it.

In a palace in Bieyuan on the outskirts of Beijing, Chunni sat on a small stool and concentrated on selecting medicinal materials, while Divine Doctor Zhang leaned over the desk, immersing himself in studying the prescription.

The palace people were all waiting outside the hall, and inside the huge hall, it was so silent.

Li Ling strolled into the hall, waving his hand to tell the palace people not to disturb him, he entered the hall quietly, Chun Ni was sitting not far from the door, she was the first to notice the emperor's presence, and hurriedly got up to greet him.

Li Ling politely asked her to excuse her, then walked up to Miracle Doctor Zhang, and respectfully greeted Miracle Doctor Zhang slightly.

Li Ling was wearing a plain uniform, although it was also a golden crown and jade belt, but compared to the dragon robe, it was less majestic and more gentle.

Doctor Zhang raised his head slightly, smacked his mouth, but after all he didn't say anything harsh, he just said: "The old man is studying a good cure for my mother's illness, Your Majesty can sit down as you like."

This is obviously Li Ling's palace, but from the old man's mouth, it seems that he is the master.

But Li Ling was counting on the old man to heal his wife well, so naturally he would not pick on these vain gifts, he smiled and replied: "Sir, just be busy, I will entrust the queen's illness to you."

After the old man heard this, he raised his eyes to look at Li Ling, and said with a sullen face, "Your Majesty will say this after the old man has researched out a prescription to treat your mother's illness."

Li Ling originally wanted to inquire about his wife's illness with the old man, but seeing the old man's reticence and reluctance to say more, although Li Ling was anxious, he didn't want to press further, for fear of offending the old man, he would not be able to give his wife wholeheartedly. cure.

Li Ling smiled awkwardly, and replied, "Then there will be Mr. Lao."

The old man only said "um", then he didn't say much, and started to study again.

Although the old man didn't want to talk too much, Li Ling didn't intend to leave. He turned around and sat down on the pier opposite Chunni, causing Chunni to bend over and salute: "Your Majesty——"

Li Ling ordered her to get up, and said with a smile, "Miss, don't be restrained, I will make medicine for the queen with you."

He called himself "I" instead of Zhen, and even in front of the little apprentice Chunni, he was humble and polite, without any majestic airs of an emperor.

Chunni replied terrified: "Your Majesty has ruined the common people."

Li Ling picked up a piece of herbal medicine and humbly asked Chunni: "How about this? Can it be used?"

Chunni saw that the emperor really wanted to learn, so she didn't stick to it anymore. He patiently explained the method of picking medicinal materials and how to brew them. Li Ling listened carefully, and then she and Chunni went together Get busy.

Dr. Zhang has just been seeing Jingshu, so the medicine he is giving now is also a trial medicine. To be on the safe side, when boiling the medicinal materials, the old gentleman let his apprentice Chunni do it himself.

After choosing the medicinal materials, Chunni strictly found out the amount according to the prescription given by the master, then put them into the medicine jar, and boiled them over a fire.

Chunni put the medicinal materials aside, and Li Ling fanned the fire beside him. Boiling medicinal materials is a slow and delicate job, and Li Ling did all this quietly, without a trace of impatience.

After the decoction was ready, Chunni cleaned the decoction, put it into a heat-preserving medicine jar, and presented it to Li Ling respectfully, saying: "Your Majesty's medicine has been brewed. Your Majesty has worked so hard, why don't you give it to Li Ling yourself?" Send it over, Madam."

Chunni was naturally afraid of the emperor, but after getting along with Li Ling just now, she let go of her restraint.

The emperor is not a god, and caring about his wife is the same as that of ordinary people.

Li Ling glanced at Miracle Doctor Zhang who was still immersed in his studies, lowered his voice and said to Chuni: "Miss, come with me, I have something to ask you."

Chunni understood, and followed Li Ling out of the hall with the medicine jar.

As soon as he walked outside the hall, Li Ling couldn't wait to ask Chunni: "Miss, what did your master say about your mother's illness? Is he sure to cure her?"

Chunni was smart, she guessed that Li Ling was going to ask her this question, she smiled slightly, and replied: "About your mother's illness, the old master didn't say much to me."

When Li Ling heard this, disappointment appeared on his face.

Chun Ni hurriedly comforted: "But don't worry, Your Majesty, although the master has not yet found a cure for the empress's illness, but according to the master's medical skills, he is sure to heal the empress."

"Your Majesty doesn't know. My master has a straightforward temper. If he is not sure about something, he would have quit."

When Li Ling heard this, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and he smiled back at Chunni: "That's fine, that's fine."

"Your master has a real temper. Heck, he's actually fine."

Chunni couldn't help covering her mouth and smiling when she saw that the aloof emperor had such an obvious expression of joy and anger.
