Chapter 258: Let Father Emperor give Aunt Nuan a lot of gold!
"Sanqi's reply is unlikely to be wrong. Sanqi also mentioned that Physician Jiang still carries self-defense medicine given to him by the Imperial Preceptor. This humble servant suspects that the Imperial Preceptor and Physician Jiang have quite a connection."
The legendary physician even suspected that Physician Jiang was a direct disciple of the Imperial Advisor. Otherwise, how could such a young girl possess such remarkable medical skills?
"Grand Preceptor... Now that he's back, he should know that Xiao Yuanshan is searching for him like a madman. Why is he staying in the Great Wilderness?"
Upon hearing this, the people around frowned, clearly puzzled.
Emperor Jing frowned slightly and said, "I didn't expect that this trip to the Great Wilderness would resolve so many problems so easily. Give the order not to disturb the Grand Preceptor's peace and quiet."
"Your Majesty, is it really not necessary to summon the Imperial Preceptor to see you?"
Emperor Jing simply shook his head: "He may not want to see me, but there's really nothing to see him about. As long as he doesn't go to Xiao Yuanshan's side, it's up to the Grand Preceptor to stay wherever he wants. If possible, I hope he stays in the Great Wilderness forever."
After discussing for so long, the Emperor was visibly exhausted. He waved his hand, signaling everyone around him to go about their business, and then lay down. He soon fell into a deep sleep again.
“Your Highness, there’s no time to lose, we really should go.” An Dehai said earnestly, “It was fortunate that Nineteen was on the lookout earlier and saw Sanqi, which led us to this suspicion. We never expected that the Emperor was in Liujiang County. Your Highness, as long as we meet with the Emperor, all the problems we face now will be easily resolved.”
Hearing this, Xuan Ting secretly clenched his small fists: "But what about your injury?"
"Your Highness, no matter how skilled Physician Jiang is, can he compare to Physician Que? As long as I reunite with the Emperor and receive treatment from Physician Que, this servant will be fine."
"However, even the Divine Physician Que might not be able to cure your poison. If Father were here, perhaps Aunt Nuan could examine him."
“My lord, Physician Jiang may be considered a formidable figure in the countryside, but he is probably still somewhat inferior to Physician Que. Furthermore, we don’t have much time left. In any case, we must first reunite with the Emperor. Regardless of whether Physician Jiang returns or not, we should leave.”
Xuan Ting pursed his lips, glancing longingly at the small house: "I understand."
Just then, a sound came from outside. Xuan Ting's eyes lit up, and he turned around and went out the door.
Just then, I saw Jiang Nuanzhi and Lü Shizhu driving a donkey cart into the yard.
His long-held emotions crumbled instantly when he saw Jiang Nuanzhi smiling and waving at him.
Xuan Ting pouted and rushed over to hug Jiang Nuanzhi.
"Waaaaah, Aunt Nuan, you're finally back! Waaaaah!"
Jiang Nuanzhi was stunned when she was suddenly embraced. She looked at Xiao Xuanting, who was hugging her waist, with surprise: "What's wrong? Why are you crying, you silly boy?"
Xuan Ting seemed to have a thousand words to say in an instant, but when he opened his mouth, he only let out a sobbing sound and cried even louder.
Jiang Nuanzhi was startled and hurriedly wiped away his tears: "Wait, Xuan Ting, Aunt Nuan just went out to see a doctor. Although she came back a little late, we don't need to cry like this, do we?"
Xuan Ting's grief remained undiminished: "Aunt Nuan... Waaah, what should we do?"
He was overcome with emotion, and his chin was trembling.
Jiang Nuanzhi blinked, gently touching her hovering head, and subconsciously looked around, but didn't see anyone else. Xiao Er, Baozhu, Ping'er, and the old man weren't home.
"Listen to me, don't cry yet. Tell Aunt Nuan if something happened?"
It took Xuan Ting a while to stop grieving. He sniffed, pursed his lips, and looked at Jiang Nuanzhi, saying, "Aunt Nuan, I thought I would never see you again."
Jiang Nuanzhi secretly rubbed her forehead: "You child, can you please not talk like that? It scares me."
Anyone who didn't know better would think he was sending himself away!
Xuan Ting sniffed, and after calming down for a while, he said, "Aunt Nuan, they are already packing my luggage. I'm leaving here to go home today. I thought I would never see you again and wouldn't be able to say goodbye to you."
"leave?"
Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't help but frown: "Why so suddenly?"
"An Dehai said that my family should be nearby, and he would take me there for a reunion later."
Jiang Nuanzhi's eyes flickered upon hearing this.
She had originally planned to subtly remind Xiao Xuanting about his father upon her return.
Indeed, Jiang Nuanzhi guessed that the patient she was treating was no ordinary person. If she had any initial doubts, the subsequent attitudes of Doctor Que and the others were enough to confirm her suspicions. Regardless of how many times they had let slip the truth, the only person who could be addressed as "master" by a second-rank national physician like Doctor Que was undoubtedly that one person.
If I was still a little uncertain before, after thinking about it carefully on the way home, I figured out the key point.
Judging from Xuan Ting's expression, he must have already received the news. Jiang Nuanzhi also breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to bring it up with Xuan Ting.
"Don't cry, sweetie." Jiang Nuanzhi sighed and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. "Your family must have been waiting for you for a long time. It's time to go back and see them. Aunt Nuan will pack your bags."
Xuan Ting's emotions, which had just calmed down a bit, instantly collapsed again when he saw Jiang Nuanzhi packing his luggage, and he burst into tears again.
Grabbing Jiang Nuanzhi's hand as she was packing her luggage, she pouted and sobbed, "Aunt Nuan, I have a gift for you!"
After saying that, he led Jiang Nuanzhi into the house.
"This is a gift for you."
Xuan Ting wiped away his tears and took out an arm-sized object wrapped in cloth.
Jiang Nuanzhi opened the cloth with a strange expression. It was a piece of wood with a line of words clumsily carved on it.
"The best aunt in the world? Hahaha, this carving is so ugly." Lu Shizhu leaned over to look, subconsciously read out the words on it, and then laughed so hard he almost fell over.
He was completely unaware of the murderous glares that An Dehai and Shijiu were giving him.
Jiang Nuanzhi was completely baffled by the farewell gift the child had given her. However, seeing Xuan Ting crying pitifully, she immediately hugged the wooden plaque to her chest and smiled, saying, "Don't listen to your brother Lu's nonsense. Isn't this carving beautiful? Xuan Ting, Aunt Nuan will definitely keep it safe."
Xuan Ting nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, I asked Nineteen to approve it for me. I carved the words on it myself, but my hands are still a bit weak. In the future, I will definitely make one for you myself."
He had already planned it all out. When he got back, he would definitely tell his father that Aunt Nuan had saved his life twice. He would then make sure his father gave Aunt Nuan lots and lots of gold, because Aunt Nuan loved that.
"Oh, so it wasn't made by hand after all, hahaha." Lü Shizhu watched the spectacle with amusement.
Xuan Ting glanced at the grinning Lü Shizhu beside him and snorted coldly, "Brother Lü is annoying, I won't give you any gifts!"
