Chapter 334 Extra: The Goddess Doctor Has a Bad Temper (Part 9)

What King Zhao does is beyond Lian Qiao's control. King Zhao has his own considerations. How to deal with those people and how to find those hiding in the foreign capital are King Zhao's business.

King Zhao wouldn't let those people get away with poisoning the people of the capital.

Those people must be living a life worse than death right now!

King Zhao has been in the foreign capital for so long, and his temperament is much stronger than it was when he was in the capital.

To gain a foothold here, you have to be ruthless!

King Zhao was already highly skilled and adept at interrogating prisoners.

And there was also the incident of poisoning the water source for the Weiyuan Army...

“King Zhao will give everyone an explanation, don’t worry about it! General Shen, let’s go back! Back to the North!” Lian Qiao said to Shen Yunchuan.

Shen Yunchuan smiled and agreed.

...

After Shen Yunchuan brought Lian Qiao back to the North, the gifts that King Zhao had prepared for Lian Qiao were delivered.

Lian Qiao accepted the gifts without any qualms. She had cured the King of Zhao's illness, so what was wrong with accepting a little money for her consultation?

Lianqiao continued to treat patients in Weiyuan Army.

After General Shen learned that Lian Qiao had cured King Zhao's illness in the foreign capital, he specially summoned Shen Yunchuan.

"He's cured? There are no aftereffects?" General Shen asked.

"Yes, he's cured! He's just as energetic as when he first arrived in the North. He's probably busy interrogating those Gur people right now!" Shen Yunchuan said with a smile.

General Shen nodded in agreement, "It's good that you're cured."

"Then...didn't you and Miss Lian say anything else?" General Shen continued to ask.

"They told me! They asked what poison Miss Lian used, and Miss Lian even explained why she didn't kill them but only rendered them immobile!"

Oh, and the girl even said that those people were the ones who caused malaria back then.

"If it weren't for Miss Lian's cleverness, the foreign capital would probably have suffered another disaster!" Shen Yunchuan continued.

General Shen listened patiently for a while, but didn't hear what he wanted to hear.

"Didn't you... say anything else to Physician Lian, like anything unrelated to these matters?" General Shen couldn't help but ask.

"As for the others, they've already mentioned it! Even the young lady said that the gifts sent by the King of Zhao were quite valuable, so I had someone send them all back to the capital to be sold."

It's said that it can fetch a good price in the capital, but not in the north.

"Grandfather, when are the people from the capital coming next? We can take them back with us," Shen Yunchuan said cheerfully.

General Shen...

"Besides these things, was there anything else? Didn't you whisper anything to each other?" General Shen was still unwilling to give up.

Shen Yunchuan actually thought about it seriously, and then whispered something...

No, not at all. Even the young lady only cares about those medicines. She only talks to the people at the clinic or Ling Shuang about anything else!

"No!" Shen Yunchuan replied honestly.

General Shen was speechless and could only wave his hand to let Shen Yunchuan leave.

Shen Yunchuan had just reached the entrance of the tent when he was stopped by General Shen.

"The Regent is supposed to come to the North next year for an inspection tour. Please make sure the soldiers train well."

"The New Year is approaching. Talk to the quartermaster and make sure the soldiers have a good holiday."

Shen Yunchuan quickly agreed to everything.

...

Lian Qiao also learned that the Regent would be coming to the North for inspection next year. She knew this Regent well; her good friend Song Zhimian often talked about him.

"The Regent is the Prince of Qi. He was previously stationed in the southwest. I heard from Zhimian that he treated the soldiers of Dayu exceptionally well."

"If I come next year, I'll definitely check on how the soldiers are doing. Don't worry too much," Lian Qiao reassured Ling Shuang.

Ling Shuang responded with an "oh." She had met His Majesty and Prince Zhao before, but she was not familiar with the other princes of the Emperor Emeritus.

“Then the Regent must also be someone who can lead troops into battle,” Ling Shuang said confidently.

Lian Qiao hummed in agreement.

"I heard from Zhimian that Prince Qi has loved reading military books since he was a child and is very good at fighting on horseback. However, he has been staying in the capital for the sake of the former crown prince."

When the Regent was in the southwest, he dealt a terrible blow to the Biao Kingdom there!

"Zhimian often talks about the Regent!" Lianqiao continued talking to Ling Shuang about the Regent.

Ling Shuang only knew how to lead troops to the battlefield, but she immediately became interested after hearing what Lian Qiao said.

"The general and I have talked about what happened in the southwest. He said that His Highness Prince Qi used a scheme to cause chaos in the Kingdom of Biao."

The situation in Biao Kingdom is now in complete chaos, with various factions clashing.

"Hey, I heard that the Regent almost took a princess from the Biao Kingdom as a concubine!" Ling Shuang quickly gossiped to Lian Qiao about what she had heard.

Lianqiao actually knew a little about this.

There was no other way; every time Song Zhimian and Princess Yongxin wrote to Lian Qiao, they would tell her about what was happening in the capital.

They must have also mentioned the story of the female envoy from the Kachin ethnic group of Biao Kingdom seeking the protection of Dayu in the capital.

"I heard it's because the regent didn't take a liking to him."

However, Zhimian analyzed it for me and said that even if the Regent took a liking to him, it would be useless, as His Majesty would definitely not allow it.

Think about it, if the regent really took a princess from the Kingdom of Biao as a concubine, wouldn't that leave a hidden danger by his side?

Who knows if that person will stab Da Yu in the back!

Therefore, Zhimian said that the Regent would not take that princess from the Biao Kingdom as a concubine.

"Besides, he doesn't even have a principal wife yet, how could he possibly take a concubine first!" Lian Qiao said with certainty.

Ling Shuang was a little surprised.

The Regent doesn't even have a principal wife? Doesn't that mean the Regent has never been married?

"Is the Regent King ugly?" Ling Shuang asked in a low voice.

Lian Qiao immediately shook her head. How could the Regent be ugly! None of the Emperor Emeritus's sons are ugly! Even the Prince of Zhao, whom Lian Qiao doesn't even want to look at, has a handsome face!

"Then... does the Regent have some hidden illness? If not, then why isn't he getting married?"

It's understandable for ordinary people not to get married, but it's not easy for people like us who risk our lives on the battlefield and might die any day to get married.

The Regent... he's a prince! And he's the son of the late Empress, how can the Emperor Emeritus not be worried!

"If the Emperor Emeritus were to arrange the marriage, he wouldn't object, would he?" Ling Shuang found it a bit unbelievable.

Lianqiao couldn't understand it either.

"Perhaps she's like the Empress! The Empress was His Majesty's most beloved eldest daughter! Even the throne was given to her, yet she didn't get married?"

I think it's because the retired emperor couldn't control the regent, or perhaps he felt sorry for the regent and didn't want him to marry someone he didn't like, thus becoming a resentful couple.

However, there are so many unmarried people in the capital; one more regent won't make a difference.

Ling Shuang hummed in agreement and nodded. Just like her, she was also unmarried. Hadn't the handsome man always wanted to find her a home? She herself felt that being alone was just fine.

"It's fine if we don't get married!"

"Hey, Lianqiao, I heard you brought out another medicine from the foreign capital. Is it effective? Could you provide some to our Weiyuan Army?"
