It turns out that she is really a miracle doctor

Chapter 246: Pick up Ah Zhi and bring him to Beijing anytime

It's snowing again.

Lu Zheng came to Xiao Qi's study room on the snow with a lantern in her hand. Xiao Fuzi came to greet Lu Zheng and took the lantern from her hand, pointing to the study room. "The master is inside."

Lu Zheng asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"

Xiao Fuzi shook her head, "The master said he has no appetite..."

"You go back and rest. Don't worry about him." After saying that, Lu Zheng walked towards the study and opened the door.

Xiao Fuzi outside the study shuddered, took a look at the study, and then turned and left.

At the desk in the study, Xiao Qi was working on a letter. His brows were slightly furrowed and he looked tired. When he heard the noise, he thought it was Xiao Fuzi coming in. He was about to speak but when he saw it was Lu Zheng, his voice softened a lot.

"It's snowing outside. Why don't you go to bed earlier?" As he said that, he poured hot tea for Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng glanced at her thin clothes and said with a smile, "I'm not cold at all. But you, it's hard to travel on this snowy road. Are you going back to Beijing tomorrow?"

Xiao Qi handed the teacup to him, lowered his eyes, and did not look into her eyes. "It's time to go back..."

He was also reluctant to leave here, reluctant to leave Lingyang City.

But the emperor passed away, even if he knew that going back would not be safe, but as the prince of Lingyang, how could he not return to the capital? His father was stationed at the border, and he couldn't let the world criticize their Lingyang Palace.

No matter if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire or dangerous places ahead, he should go through it... Besides! His uncle has not appointed a crown prince yet, so his father will definitely go through this muddy water in the capital!
He had to go back and make some preparations for his father.

Lu Zheng turned the cup in her hand bit by bit, thinking of the last time Xiao Qi returned to Beijing for a banquet at the Princess's Mansion and was poisoned, and the letter Doctor Zhang wrote to her, and she felt worried.

If Xiao Qi gets hit again, she might also be in trouble...

She didn't know what had happened between the two of them that caused such a strange thing to happen, but it must have a reason.

But she would be returning to Wuhui Valley soon. Tianyi had specifically told her that her senior brothers would all be back this spring, and if she wanted to further improve her medical skills, she couldn't miss this lecture...

The two of them sat in the study, with only the sound of wind and snow outside. No one spoke, and the atmosphere gradually became stiff. Xiao Qi did not say that he actually needed Lu Zheng, and Lu Zheng did not say that it would be safer for her to go back with him.

When the tea in Lu Zheng's hand cooled down, she put it on the table and cleared her throat. "Then I'll prepare some medicine for you tomorrow, just in case..."

Xiao Qi smiled softly and looked up at her, "Okay."

After a pause, he continued, "There are Sui Lun's garrison troops in Lingyang City. You can stay here temporarily. If...if you want to leave at any time, send me a letter."

He didn't know what the situation in the capital would be like. What decision would his father make? The heir apparent was still undecided, and the road ahead was foreseeably dangerous.

Lu Zheng nodded, "Yeah."

She stood up and walked out. After taking a few steps, she suddenly paused, as if she had something to say, but she only paused for a moment and left again.

After Lu Zheng's figure disappeared, Xiao Qi's gaze was still on the direction she left.

After a while, Xiao Qi heard the sound of the wind, got up, walked to the window, opened the window, looked at the snowflakes flying in from the window, reached out to catch a handful, and the snowflakes quickly melted in his hand.

He slowly breathed a sigh of relief. It was better not to go. She would be safer here... The lights in the study were on all night. The people inside tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep for a long time. Lu Zheng also did not sleep well that night. In her dreams, Xiao Qi was either poisoned or injured, or he turned into the pitiful boy who could not speak again...

The next morning, Lu Zheng got up early and began to prepare the medicine that Xiao Qi might need, and gave it to Xiao Fuzi before breakfast.

After breakfast, Lu Zheng waited for Xiao Qi and Song Si to say goodbye to Shangguan Pingyang, and then signaled Xiao Qi to move behind the screen. Lu Zheng took out a small cloth bag and opened it to show Xiao Qi.

It's a row of silver needles.

Lu Zheng wrapped the silver needle and put it into Xiao Qi's hand. She leaned over to his ear and whispered, "Take this silver needle for self-defense. I have applied medicine on it. The medicine is not fatal, but it can make people fall asleep quickly."

The cold scent of snow lotus lingered at Xiao Qi's nose. He wanted to hold his breath but also wanted to inhale all the fragrance into his lungs.

"This is my latest invention. I asked Lu Ming to try it out this morning. It works great. He's still sleeping in the back room..."

Xiao Qi: “…” No wonder I didn’t see Lu Ming.

Lu Zheng stood up straight and said, "What if? I mean what if. If we accidentally get swapped, you must come to the capital as soon as possible."

"Ah."

Xiao Qi agreed, staring at the person in front of him with his phoenix eyes. His long eyelashes trembled uneasily. He stretched out his arms, hugged Lu Zheng, tilted his head and took a deep breath of the snow lotus fragrance on Lu Zheng's body, then immediately let go of Lu Zheng and walked out of the screen.

The brave man had already left, but Lu Zheng was still frozen in place. It was not like Xiao Qi had hugged her before, but this time... Lu Zheng raised her hand and touched her neck, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.

The moment Xiao Qi turned his head, a hot breath sprayed on Lu Zheng's neck. She only felt a momentary numbness in her neck, and that feeling was like... poisoning!
Ta-da! Wang Zhi ran in.

He held Lu Zheng's hand, raised his little head and said, "Brother is leaving."

Lu Zheng came back to her senses, "Oh, then let's go and see him off."

In fact, the group only arrived at the gate of Lu Zheng's courtyard. Wang Zheng's family, Li Qingfeng, Song Siwen, Meng Wanwan, Shangguan Pingyang, Lu Zheng Lianxin, You Geng and others blocked the gate tightly.

Xiao Qi did not let everyone go out of the door. After all, so many people standing at the door would still be very eye-catching. As everyone watched, Xiao Qi's carriage slowly left.

Inside the carriage, Xiao Fuzi saw Xiao Qi looking out through the gap in the curtain. He knew who Xiao Qi was looking at without having to guess. However, at this moment, he didn't understand why his master didn't dare to lift the curtain and look openly...

The door of the courtyard slowly closed, and Xiao Qi withdrew his gaze. When he looked up again, he was no longer the young man who was reluctant to leave and had gentle and affectionate eyes just now.

He tapped the car window twice with his fingertips, his voice calm, but the next words made Xiao Fuzi's heart tremble, "Except for those in Lingyang City, transfer all the people my father left for me back to the capital, activate the informants planted in various prefectures, and wait for my father to return to the capital to listen to his orders."

"Before we reach the capital, replace the deputy commander of the Beijing Suburbs Camp with our people and have them look for Tong Wuqi. The Tong family is in charge of the Imperial City Defense Camp. Even if the Imperial City Defense Camp will not stand on our side, at least they should not oppose us."

The carriage was silent for a moment, and a deep voice sounded from outside the window, "Does the prince have any other instructions?"

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Qi spoke, "Remember to have someone ready to take Ah Zhi to Beijing at any time. Go."

"Yes!"

This last sentence really made Xiao Fuzi a little upset. He had no choice at the moment and even forgot to pour tea for Xiao Qi. He started to think about random things by himself.

The late emperor has not yet appointed a crown prince...
