This time, the emperor took ruthless measures to clean up the court and the harem. For a time, the people of the capital were in panic. The harem and several princes were as quiet as chickens and did not dare to show their presence in front of the emperor.
After a few days of silence, the emperor found that the bruises on his palms had completely disappeared, so he summoned Su Nanting and Linlang to the palace. This time, Linlang came to the palace dressed as a servant and followed Su Nanting into the imperial study to see the emperor again.
"The emperor's poison has been almost eliminated. I will prescribe you two more doses of medicine for a bath, and you will be completely fine."
Linlang put away the pulse pillow and said respectfully, "I'll leave some test strips for you in case you need them."
Things kept happening in the palace, so to be on the safe side, Linlang made some more test strips, a simpler way to test for poison.
"Doctor Rong is very thoughtful." If Linlang refused, the emperor would ask her for it. He felt unsafe in the palace now. Those people were overreaching. He still had unfulfilled wishes, and the emperor didn't want to die.
Even though Su Nanting asked for this and that throughout the process, it had to be said that Rong Linlang's medical skills were truly excellent. The emperor was in a good mood and asked, "Doctor Rong, you cured me. What reward do you want? Just tell me."
Linlang was not a greedy person. She bowed and said, "Your Majesty has already given me a great reward. I cannot ask for more. Moreover, it is my honor to be able to treat Your Majesty. Your Majesty's good health, your hard work to fulfill your wishes, and your prosperity for the country and the people are the greatest reward."
The emperor was delighted by this sentence, "Well said, the country is rich and the people are strong, the country is rich and the people are strong."
Any emperor wants his country to be rich and his people to be strong, especially the Jing Dynasty, which has been suppressed and exploited by the Northern Qi Dynasty. The emperor dreams of turning the tables.
The more he looked at Su Nanting and his daughter, the more he liked them. The emperor said, "The past was the past, and the present is the present. You are a doctor and need medicinal herbs. The Imperial Hospital in the palace has no shortage of them. Eunuch Li, you go in person and send two carts of medicinal herbs out. Choose the best ones."
"I obey your order."
Not only did the emperor give her precious medicinal herbs, he also rewarded her with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. Linlang accepted them. The emperor's life was precious, so these could be considered as medical fees.
The father and daughter returned with a full load. Linlang wanted to give the gold, silver and jewelry to Su Nanting, "Dad, take it back to Mom and let her choose first. After she has chosen, she can make jewelry."
The things given by the emperor as rewards could not be sold to pay off the debt, so they could only be made into jewelry. Linlang thought that she had not given her mother anything, so she decided to make jewelry for her mother first.
"Your mother will definitely be very happy to receive it."
The daughter was filial. Su Nanting took out a box of pearls and gems and said, "These are more suitable for your mother. You can keep the others for yourself. The things the emperor gave as rewards are all good things. You should not give them away. And those medicinal herbs are all top-quality. You may not be able to buy them even if you have money."
Su Nanting smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. He was so happy that his daughter was so outstanding and had received a reward from the emperor.
Linlang nodded, "My daughter will remember it."
What she liked most were the precious medicinal herbs. After seeing the list, she was extremely shocked. Those medicinal herbs were much better than gold, silver and jewelry. She must make good use of them and maximize their value.
Su Nanting asked Linlang, "When do you plan to visit the Marquis' Mansion?"
"Amu's younger brother returned to the capital. After seeing his doctor, he went to the Marquis' Mansion to see mother." Linlang missed her mother very much after not seeing her for a few days.
Su Nanting knew that the second son of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion had been in poor health since childhood, a weakness he had been carrying since birth, and could only be taken care of. Thinking that Linlang was now Xiao Yujian's sister-in-law, he should go and see her. "It's good to go and see her. That child is really pitiful."
"Yeah." Linlang told him about Amu's meeting with his brother. "I think there's something wrong with the wife of Duke Dingguo. She's very alert and has a sharp look in her eyes. She doesn't look like a pampered lady at all."
"This is very dangerous, don't get involved." Su Nanting frowned. "Leave the investigation to your third and fourth brothers, they are experts. As for the Duke Dingguo's mansion, the second young master shouldn't be in any danger. The Duke Dingguo is no fool."
"But it's also possible that those involved are simply confused." Out of love and guilt for his wife, even if his wife's attitude towards him changes drastically, he will not suspect that there is something wrong with her. Duke Dingguo is probably such a person.
In other words, he was very confident and would never think that those people would harm others under his nose.
Su Nanting nodded. "That's a possibility. We need to give him some pointers and guide him to discover the problem. Xiao Zhensheng is a stubborn old man. He sticks to his own ways and is blindly confident. He's not easy to deal with."
Then he said, "Let Xiao Yujian go. They are father and son, and Xiao Zhensheng won't doubt it if he mentions it unintentionally."
"That's what Amu and the brothers have discussed. However, Ajian's health is worrying, so he needs to see a doctor first."
"Dad knows your medical skills very well. There will be no problem if you take action." Even the emperor's hidden poison could be discovered by his daughter. Su Nanting believed that his daughter was the miracle doctor who could rescue people from the underworld.
Being praised so highly by her father, Linlang felt a little embarrassed. "I will do my best."
Medicine is not magic, and doctors are not gods. There are many difficult and complicated diseases that cannot be cured. Doctors are kind-hearted and will use all their knowledge to treat patients.
The father and daughter talked a lot along the way, analyzing the current situation in the capital. They also thought that the emperor's birthday celebration might not be so peaceful, so they had to be very alert.
Su Nanting sent his daughter back first. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw a carriage parked at the door. Upon closer inspection, it was the carriage of Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
The doorman, Lao Xie, came over and saluted. "Miss, Duke Dingguo is here in person to visit us. Please go to the Duke Dingguo's mansion to see the second young master. I've been waiting in the hall for a long time. I must wait until you return."
He arrived quite quickly. I guess my eldest brother was entertaining him.
Linlang introduced Lao Xie, "This is Marquis Anchang."
Old Xie quickly saluted, and Su Nanting waved his hand, "Since Duke Dingguo is here, I will go in and meet him."
That guy had always been arrogant. When he was young, he thought he was handsome and had good kung fu, and he was always very proud of it. Since he was young, Su Nanting had been compared to the old marquis. He was simply the child of other families. He was always compared, but never surpassed.
Alas, now the tide has turned, and Duke Dingguo has come to his daughter for help. Oh, Duke Dingguo's most proud son is now his son-in-law.
Thinking about this, Su Nanting was in a good mood. He straightened his back, put his hands behind his back, and walked in with a swagger.
Linlang didn't find it funny to see her father so heroic and confident, as if he had won a battle. She felt that her father was sometimes just like a child.
In the hall, Rong Yi sat with Duke Dingguo. They both drank a lot of tea and looked outside from time to time.
Rong Yi was not nervous at all, because the person sitting next to him was Amu's father. In fact, they were in-laws, all relatives.
Duke Dingguo felt that the boy next to him was looking at him a little too affectionately. This was their first meeting, so they were not familiar with each other. Why did he feel that he treated him as a relative, or even as a son-in-law? This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
