Chapter 78 The General's White Hair! Father Knows Everything
He Zhaojun gathered her thoughts, wiped the tears from her face, and then walked out of her eldest sister-in-law's bedroom. He Yong had been waiting outside anxiously. When he saw her come out, he didn't say anything, but just reached out and hugged He Zhaojun in his arms.
"Son... my son..."
He Zhaojun had stopped crying, but now she hid in her father's arms and cried loudly.
Her father, who had survived countless battles, always looked energetic and his voice resounded like thunder. But in the short ten days since the news of his eldest brother's death, his temples had already turned white.
He Zhaojun cried enough, then raised her head and said in a hoarse voice: "Father, I am going to enter the palace." Her expression was calm with a hint of determination, completely different from her previous decadent and lifeless look.
He Yong nodded: "Go ahead, just go for it. Even if the sky falls, your father will hold it up for you." His voice was not loud, and his tone was even a little kind, but He Zhaojun knew that He Yong knew clearly in his heart what she was going to do.
After everyone showered and had a simple meal, it was already dawn. Lou Yao escorted He Zhaojun to the front of Yongle Palace and returned, saying, "Zhaojun, please don't be so polite with me. I already consider you family. You've already expressed your gratitude all the way..."
He Zhaojun raised the corner of her mouth and nodded: "I heard that my future son-in-law went out traveling a month ago and hasn't returned yet. When he returns to the capital, I will definitely send a visiting card and visit the Lou family again."
Lou Yao opened his mouth. "If my elder brother doesn't come back, will Zhaojun not come?" After a long while, he stammered.
"Well, that day will come."
——
"Lou Yao is tall, Lou Yao is short. I never thought that He Zhaojun, who claimed that she never loved anyone, would one day talk about and see others all the time. It really surprised me."
He Zhaojun and Wen Ziduan walked towards Yongle Palace. She was already too tired and was very clear-headed at this moment. However, when she heard these sour words, she felt that she was hallucinating because of sleepiness.
"Ayao went searching for a midwife for my sister-in-law on a rainy night. The journey was dangerous. Thanks to his perseverance, I heard he ran across half the capital before finding the old woman. What's wrong with just a few words of thanks?"
Wen Ziduan snorted. I'd even barged into the palace in the dead of night and ordered someone to find Doctor Sun, but how come he didn't even say thank you? "In that case, you should thank me, Doctor Sun and me."
Doctor Sun had been following behind, pretending to be mute. When he heard himself being mentioned, he nodded quickly. Saving a life was better than building a seven-story pagoda; it was his duty. But his old waist was almost broken.
He Zhaojun took this opportunity to express her sincere gratitude to Doctor Sun. If it were not for his superb medical skills, her elder sister-in-law would probably have died today.
"How dare I ask for your thanks, young lady? It's just... I have an unreasonable request, and I hope you can fulfill it." Doctor Sun is not young, and he really feels a little ashamed at this moment.
He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his face. "My wife is nearly forty years old and is now five months pregnant. The young lady also knows that this matter is extremely dangerous."
"So... please give me a few slices of blood ginseng, young lady, for emergency use. I will be very grateful." He bowed to the ground.
"Doctor Sun, please stand up. It's just a few pieces of blood ginseng. You can take them... But, I think there is no shortage of rare medicines in the palace. Why do you want these blood ginseng?" He Zhaojun felt strange.
Doctor Sun quickly explained, "This blood ginseng is grown in the deep mountains and ancient forests of the far north. Due to the cold weather, everything grows slowly. It takes at least a hundred years for ordinary ginseng to take root and become effective, let alone the extremely precious blood ginseng."
The Far North? Goguryeo, or... Xianbei?!
