Chapter 267 Your Majesty: Aunt Nuan? Who is she?
Xuan Ting himself was enjoying the beef jerky, watching his father with a smile.
The Emperor's food was quite troublesome. After the servants tasted the food, they had to wait a while for it to react before the Emperor could eat it.
At this moment, Eunuch Li immediately stepped forward, carefully scooped out a small spoonful, and prepared to taste the dish.
Who knew that the next second he scooped out a mouthful, the magpie doctor next to him had already snatched it away. The magpie doctor had his eye on this thing for a long time, and now that he had taken it, he said with a smile, "Your Majesty, they have been tasting the food for too long, and they are afraid that the food will get cold. Let me try it. I will know whether it is poisonous or not as soon as I eat it."
The Emperor found it amusing. Although he knew the legendary Physician Que's temperament—he had a particular fondness for strange and unusual foods—he simply smiled and said, "Alright, you can try one more bite if you wish."
"Then may I try another bite?"
He asked a question, but the bowl had already been given to Eunuch Li. He gestured to Eunuch Li to serve him some more.
Eunuch Li was practically grinding his teeth to powder; this was supposed to be his job! The noodles looked ordinary, but the aroma was undeniably delicious, and it had whetted his appetite. He was just about to take a bite. Now, this coveted task had been snatched away by someone else—how could he not be furious?
However, even though she was reluctant, she still carefully went forward and scooped out some more.
The legendary physician, who had been craning his neck to get a better look, couldn't help but roll his eyes at Eunuch Li. The Emperor said he could have an extra bite, and he only gave him a few extra pieces? Not even enough to fill a tooth gap!
Even so, he couldn't wait to take it, popped it into his mouth in one gulp, and then slapped his thigh: "Delicious!"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Li, standing beside him, secretly glared at Physician Que. Did this old geezer have any sense of propriety? If any of the other servants dared to say it tasted good while tasting the poison, they would be dragged away and torn apart by five horses on the spot.
That's the Emperor's food! You took the first bite, and not only were you disrespectful, but you dared to say it was delicious? He'd never seen anything like it!
However, the Emperor smiled and said, "Li Quan, give him some more in a small bowl."
Eunuch Li: "."
Sure enough, the emperor is still the same emperor.
He consistently indulged those who had been kind to him.
If it were the late emperor, that unruly old quack Physician would have been beheaded eight hundred times over long ago.
While Li Gonggong pondered this matter, his hands were not idle either. He stood by the table, serving the emperor his meal.
"Father, these noodles will taste worse if they get cold after being picked out. You can eat them directly from the bowl; they're most delicious when eaten in big bites," Xuan Ting said, unable to resist.
As soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Que took the small bowl and poured it directly into his mouth, finishing it in one gulp, noodles and soup alike.
"Alright, I'll do it myself."
The Emperor also became somewhat interested. He dismissed Eunuch Li, picked up the noodles himself, and put them in his mouth.
He tilted his head and chewed for a while, looking surprised: "It really is cooked just by pouring boiling water on it? And the taste is actually quite good."
By the time the Emperor took a bite, the instant noodles weren't at their best. But the noodles Jiang Nuanzhi had made were chewy and firm, not soggy. Although they weren't hot, you could still taste the aroma of instant noodles. He couldn't resist taking another bite: "Mmm, really good."
“Aunt Nuan’s instant noodles are always popular. I guess Father Emperor probably likes them too. When we get hungry in the middle of the night, we get up and sneak out to eat instant noodles.” Xuan Ting said, and for a moment he missed the days when he was with Jiang Nuan.
"Aunt Nuan?" The Emperor looked over: "Who is that?"
Xuan Ting immediately put down the dried meat he was gnawing on: "Father, it is Aunt Nuan who saved me. I haven't had a chance to tell you yet, but Aunt Nuan played a crucial role in my escape from danger. Initially, I was being chased and fell into a trap after being seriously injured and unconscious. It was Aunt Nuan who took me home. Later, I was shot by an arrow and my life hung by a thread." As he spoke, he pulled open his collar to show the Emperor: "My wounds were quite deep, and I was also poisoned. If it weren't for Aunt Nuan treating me, I might never have seen Father again."
The Emperor glanced at the newly healed wound, his heart tightening. The scar was long, the pink flesh now fully grown, but it was still evident how dangerous the injury had been. Had it been even an inch more, his son would have been dead.
Xuan Ting continued, "Aunt Nuan is an exceptionally skilled physician. She is also an excellent cook, incredibly beautiful, and remarkably gentle. She is a rare and wonderful person in this world."
As she said this, she patted the package: "Father, look, this is also a package that Aunt Nuan brought for me. She made everything herself."
"In that case, this woman deserves a generous reward. What do you think she should be rewarded with, my son?"
Xuan Ting tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Gold, I guess? Aunt Nuan likes gold."
The Emperor shook his head upon hearing this: "Regardless of whether she knows your identity or not, since she saved your life, that is a great achievement. It is inappropriate to use only some gold and silver, which are common items. It is also unbecoming of your status."
After a moment's thought, the Emperor said, "How about this, after I return to the palace, I will write a plaque for her."
Xuan Ting tilted his head and thought for a moment after hearing this: "Is a plaque more valuable than gold and silver?"
The Emperor chuckled gently: "Of course. My personal inscription is something that even the most prestigious families cannot obtain. It cannot be measured by money."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Ting's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, that's wonderful. The gift for Aunt Nuan must be the most precious. In the future, may I bring Aunt Nuan and the others to the capital?"
"nature."
"Once the court is stable, I will take a look at those people for you. If they are good people, you can thank them however you wish."
"This Great Wilderness is truly teeming with talented people," the Emperor remarked. "Some time ago, Wan Yu reported that a divine physician had appeared out of nowhere and cured the plague in Canglin. It's a pity that the divine physician has already passed away. I also encountered a divine physician who cured my long-standing illness. Now, my son's illness was also treated by a female physician. It seems that the female physicians in this Great Wilderness are all extraordinary. Physician Que, you should be careful. I believe that these female physicians will not be inferior to you in the field of medicine in the future."
The Emperor couldn't help but think of Jiang Nuanzhi, and was immediately filled with amazement.
"Your humble servant is ashamed. It is naturally a joy to see so many talented physicians emerging from the younger generation. If one day I were to step down as the national physician, it would mean that my medical practice has a successor, and I would be overjoyed."
The Emperor simply smiled and said, "You."
If someone truly possesses medical skills comparable to the legendary Physician Que, he wouldn't mind bestowing upon another imperial physician title. A skilled imperial physician could save tens of thousands from the torment of illness. The Emperor would naturally be delighted.
The divine physician, Magpie, stared intently at Xuan Ting's wound: "Your Highness, when were you injured? Is it about two months ago?"
Xuan Ting thought for a moment and said, "Not yet. It was an injury I sustained a month ago, only about twenty days ago."
The divine physician's eyes widened instantly, his wrinkles bulging as he practically pressed them against Xuan Ting's wound, exclaiming in astonishment, "Amazing! How could it have healed so well?"
As he spoke, he had already felt Xuan Ting's pulse and began to question his existence: "Wait a minute, wasn't Your Highness poisoned? Why was the poison cleared so quickly?"
This month is over! Please vote for me, my darlings! Thank you so much! Love you all! *kissing emoji*
