Chapter 267 Things from Prince Xiang’s Mansion!

Xuan Huang was still reviewing memorials. He kept pressing his forehead, and the blue veins on his forehead bulged from time to time.

At the door of the study, a young eunuch holding a bowl of medicine quietly pushed the door open and walked in.

Eunuch Si, the personal attendant of the Emperor Xuan, quickly stepped forward to receive it, brought it to the study, and said softly, "Your Majesty, the tranquilizing soup is ready. Please have a sip."

"I won't drink it. I drink it every day, but it has no effect and it's very bitter." Xuan Huang was a little angry.

Eunuch Si smiled and advised, "Your Majesty, your health is more important. You have a persistent migraine. The imperial physician told you to be less angry, but you just wouldn't listen. You lost your temper in court today, how could you not have a headache?"

Emperor Xuan was still angry. "Those bastards, I will personally watch them being beheaded at the Meridian Gate! Are they human beings? They want to destroy my luck and the luck of our Da'an Kingdom! They don't treat my people as human beings. I have already released half of the imperial grain from the treasury, and in the end, what did they do? Profit from the national disaster! Unforgivable!"

Eunuch Si hurriedly said, "Oh, Your Majesty, calm down, calm down. It's fine if you don't lose your temper. If you lose your temper, you will definitely have this problem. Your health is at stake! Drink something quickly."

Xuan Huang had a splitting headache and after venting his anger, he really couldn't bear it anymore.

I could only take the medicine and drink it.

After taking a bite, he felt bitterness in his lungs. The bitterness in his body overshadowed his headache. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, but it was very uncomfortable.

Eunuch Si quickly handed him a piece of sugar and put it in his mouth.

After a long while, Xuanhuang felt better.

Eunuch Si said, "Your Majesty, think positively. Fortunately, Governor Liao was here to discover the truth and save the people from suffering. Otherwise, the consequences would be even more serious..."

Xuan Huang's expression softened a bit. "Those traitors knew I would have the Six Gates investigate, yet they were so audacious as to assassinate Liao Jiu on the way. It's truly despicable. They almost cost him his life."

Eunuch Si said, "That's right. It's so hateful. Governor Liao was injured. If Governor Liao had gone earlier, their conspiracy might not have succeeded. Forget it, Your Majesty, this situation is enough. It has already happened. Don't think too much about it. Your health is the most important thing. A headache can be a big problem or a small one. You should rest for a few days."

Xuan Huang hummed, "Let's rest for today and return to the palace."

"Okay, today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Would you like to go to Fengyang Palace and sit for a while? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the Imperial Study today and looked in several times. He said that he had a good article in the palace study today and wanted to show it to you."

Xuan Huang finally felt better and curled his lips, "Let's go take a look."

Emperor Xuan had few offspring, only three daughters and two sons. The eldest son died young, leaving only a little prince, also born to the queen, who was appointed crown prince very early on.

"Xiao Yuanzi has been waiting outside the door for a long time. The old servant asked Xiao Yuanzi to come." Now was the time for him to get off duty.

Xiao Yuanzi was his apprentice and one of Xuanhuang's personal eunuchs, so he was very familiar with him.

"Hmm." Xuan Huang walked to the door and stopped again. "How's the reward going?"

At that time, he was busy venting his anger in the palace and gave out some gold and silver as usual, but forgot to give out medicinal herbs and treasures. Later, he sent someone to collect the rewards.

Eunuch Si said, "This old servant asked Xiao Dezi to go to the storehouse to get the best healing herbs, as well as a precious hand-warming treasure that can be used right now. I have already handed it to Governor Liao personally."

"That's good."

Emperor Xuanhuang set out for Fengyang Palace.

Eunuch Si tidied up the imperial study in an orderly manner before getting up and leaving.

In the cold wind, Eunuch Si asked the young eunuch serving beside him, "Did you receive a treasure?"

"Steward De said it was something confiscated from Prince Xiang's palace. It's not very good, just some fancy stuff, like a gold hand warmer, not worth much silver. The medicine is top-notch, though..."

"Things from Prince Xiang's Mansion! Oh..." Eunuch Si seemed to be trapped in memories of the past.

***

It started snowing just after the fat boy returned home.

It snows every year in Wangjia Village, but never as heavily as this year. It snowed for several days in a row, causing all the huts in the village to collapse.

Some mornings, when I woke up, the snow had covered my door and I couldn't open it.

You also have to jump out of the window, shovel snow and open the door.

Jiang Lianzhu's family was fine. They lived in a newly built house with a big gate, so the door was not blocked. However, as soon as the door was opened, a pile of snow rushed into the yard and the inner room.

The kids were dressed like fat balls and were having a lot of fun making snowmen and having snowball fights in the yard.

Jiang Lianzhu was fully armed, wrapped tightly, wearing a big hat and a big scarf, and went to the town to buy meat for the last time.

I go to town to buy meat every few days.

Everyone who sells meat knows that she is a regular customer.

A few sheep and dozens of chickens are only enough to feed the animals in the house for about a week. In winter, the three snow wolves have a bigger appetite. It may be that they are competing with the golden eagle. If the golden eagle can eat, they want to eat more. In short, it is basically impossible to raise pure carnivorous animals without any savings.

Even though Jiang Cheng knew that the family had little money, she still felt pain when she saw the way they ate.

After the butcher loaded Jiang Lianzhu with all the meat she needed into her carriage, he said, "By the way, Doctor Jiang, someone's been looking for you these past two days."

"Who is it?" Jiang Lianzhu looked indifferent.

"I'm not sure. He said he came to see you, but the Jiang's Clinic was closed. He asked us what was going on. After asking me, he asked other people and then left. Two days later, someone else came. I told him that you were living in Wangjia Village and if he had any serious illness, he could come to you for treatment. I even pointed him in the direction of Wangjia Village..."

Jiang Lianzhu pursed her lips. "Really? Did you tell me what the illness was? I didn't see anyone coming to our Wangjia Village!"

"I don't know. Anyway, it's not just me who has encountered this. The tofu lady and the pancake lady must have all encountered it. Doctor Jiang, you have to open the shop earlier next year. All the losses are business! It's all money!"

Jiang Lianzhu smiled, "No rush, no rush."

The butcher continued, "In my opinion, Wang Laowu ran away, so he ran away. Doctor Jiang, you are such a good woman, you should find another one. It's just that I don't know anyone who is worthy of Doctor Jiang. Otherwise, I would definitely introduce you to a good one."

"Thank you so much!!"

Chatting and laughing, Jiang Lianzhu set off for home.

She drove around and took a look near Jiang's Medical Clinic.

Several eyes in the Wuhu Restaurant across the street were looking at the Jiang Clinic, and at the homeless beggar who was shivering from the cold, squatting there...
