Chapter 499 There are still rewards in the palace.
"Yes, hold him a little longer, and I guarantee he won't wake up even if I give him the antidote."
Jiang Nuanzhi was speechless for a moment, but in the end she took out a small bottle from her bosom and tossed it to Sanqi.
To be honest, the medicine on Sanqi's body was indeed the result of a lot of effort put in by Jiang Nuanzhi and him.
Along the way, there was a lack of someone to attract attention, and since Sanqi insisted on coming along, Jiang Nuanzhi simply made the most of her.
In truth, we owe a great deal to him along the way.
Previously, when Jiang Nuanzhi dressed as a woman, especially when she left the Great Wilderness, even as a convict with some beauty, she faced considerable difficulties. Although they were just minor figures, having too many of them was truly troublesome.
To be honest, Jiang Nuanzhi was quite unsure of herself back then, and she was still feeling anxious before going to the capital. But now, seeing Li Rong and so many familiar people around her, the tension that had been building up inside her seemed to ease.
Later, this person who had endured hardship became Sanqi. To be fair, he already had fair skin and delicate features, so dressing him as a woman didn't look out of place at all; in fact, he was quite pretty. With Jiang Nuanzhi's drawing, he was undeniably a great beauty.
Meanwhile, the beautiful Sanqi took the antidote bottle and personally fed it to her grandmaster.
Then, seeing the Magpie Doctor open his eyes, he immediately smiled so broadly that his teeth were showing.
After regaining his senses, the first thing Doctor Que did was to push Sanqi's big face away.
He turned his face away and gasped for breath for a while.
Lord Wang Yong breathed a heavy sigh of relief when he saw that the divine physician, Magpie, had woken up.
He stepped forward and helped the man up: "Old Master Que, are you alright?"
The divine physician, Magpie, helped Lord Wang to his feet, saying, "Wang Yong, it's still up to you in crucial moments."
"Yes, yes, you see, if you have nothing else to do, shouldn't you get down to business?"
As he said this, Lord Wang nudged Doctor Que and gestured for him to go and talk to Jiang Nuanzhi.
Are you kidding? This woman isn't exactly known for her good temper. With so many people here to pick her up, anyone can see that this Physician Jiang is highly regarded. Not to mention others, even the Sixth Prince is still holding her hand tightly.
Doctor Que gritted her teeth resentfully, then glared at him fiercely. Knowing the gravity of the situation, she walked over to Jiang Nuanzhi, who was exchanging pleasantries with the others.
"Dr. Jiang, it's been a long time! How about we catch up with your friends while we walk towards the palace?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuanzhi suddenly turned her head, her dark eyes darting over to look at Doctor Que.
For no apparent reason, the hairs on the back of the magpie doctor's back stood on end from being stared at.
"Ahem, um...did you forget? There's still a reward of silver in the palace! Yes, the Emperor owes you a hundred taels of gold, and your salary hasn't been paid yet. You'll get it as soon as you go to the palace to see the Emperor."
Jiang Nuanzhi's displeased expression suddenly froze, and then a slight smile finally appeared on her face.
She looked at Li Rong and asked, "Shall we go into the palace first?"
Li Rong nodded: "Yes, the house is all tidied up. You can put the things in the car back in the house first."
Jiang Nuanzhi had been arranging things for everyone along the way, and now that she saw Li Rong, she felt relieved. She just kept reminding herself, "Make sure to feed these chickens, ducks and geese well, don't mistreat them. They haven't eaten anything all day."
"Don't worry, leave the bag to me!" General Wan grinned. "I'm not going to the palace anyway, I'll just stay home and take care of these for you, I'll make sure they're plump and healthy. What does Doctor Jiang want to do? Roast goose or grilled goose? No matter how late you get home, I'll definitely get them for you."
General Wan pounded his chest as he spoke.
However, instead of receiving praise from Jiang Nuanzhi, she was met with the intensely wary gazes of the two little children in front of her.
Xiao Er had already nimbly jumped onto the carriage, staring wide-eyed at General Wan: "No, Mother! This scoundrel wants to kill our eldest goose, second goose, third goose, and youngest goose!"
"You bad guy!" Baozhu put her hands on her hips and said, "Don't worry, brother, I'll protect the geese with you, as well as our big and second chickens, and the baby ducks!"
General Wan was dumbfounded: "Huh?"
Jiang Nuanzhi: "General Wan, you must not kill these. They are the apple of my son and daughter's eye. They raised them with their own hands. Remember, you can't eat them, you can only feed them!"
The waiter hugged the long neck of one of the geese: "These geese have grown up with great difficulty. Soon the weather will be warm, and they will be able to lay eggs for us to eat. How could some bad people want to kill you? They are so cruel."
Baozhu: "That's right! Mother, you must not hand the geese over to bad people!"
Everyone around was stunned.
General Wan, in particular, immediately raised his hand and swore, "Young master, young lady, I'm not a bad person. I just want to help. Don't worry, I will take good care of them and make sure that not a single hair of theirs will be harmed by any bad people. I swear."
Upon hearing this, both Xiao Er and Bao Zhu looked at General Wan with suspicion.
Jiang Nuanzhi coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry, if General Wan says it's okay, then it's definitely okay. Besides, your Grandpa Jing and Grandpa Xin are keeping an eye on things for you, so nothing will go wrong."
The two little ones nodded after hearing this, and then stayed on the donkey cart, chattering away among a flock of chickens, ducks, and geese. Everyone watching was quite surprised.
"Anuan, why are you so slow?" Just then, the old man got off the carriage, yawning as he asked, "What did you say, roast goose? I'm hungry."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "By the way, the medicine you gave me last time was eaten by Lao Xin like candy, so I haven't taken any medicine for a day."
Jiang Nuanzhi was startled. She took his pulse and watched him take the medicine before she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, looking at Xin Bo who was tilting his head and staring at him, he took Xin Bo's pulse. Fortunately, Xin Bo's mind was not very good, but his body was excellent. Such a small amount of medicine had no effect on him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Everyone looks tired, shall we head back?" Li Rong said.
The old man was the first to nod: "Yes, yes, yes, I haven't had Ah Nuan's food for days, I'm really craving it. Girl, I'll get in the car first. Come back later and tell me how you got here, and how you ended up looking so ugly."
"Okay." Jiang Nuanzhi helped the person into the carriage, both amused and exasperated. Suddenly realizing something, she turned around abruptly.
In the crowd, a refined-looking man holding a folding fan was seen staring at her with a smile.
Jiang Nuanzhi felt as if she were being stared at by a venomous snake, and goosebumps rose all over her body: "Arong, who is that?"
The next second, Li Rong had already turned to the side, blocking the view from the other side, and simply helped Jiang Nuanzhi tidy her hair: "That's Xiao Yuanshan. But, Nuanzhi, don't worry about it. I'll take care of everything."
Having said that, he slowly turned his head, giving her a cold glance before turning his gaze away indifferently. He then escorted Jiang Nuan to the carriage and they left.
Xiao Yuanshan toyed with the spider in his hand, his eyes fixed on the carriage above Jiang Nuan, and asked in a calm and unhurried voice, "Was it that old woman who cured Li Rong and the Emperor's illnesses?"
Behind him, Zhao Xiuyuan coughed twice, forcibly suppressing his cough, and then frowned and said, "I have seen that woman's appearance before. At first, I thought she was just a fat, stupid country bumpkin, but later she became a bit thinner. Cough cough. But now she is disguised, and her appearance is very different from before. Judging from the situation of Li Rong and the Grand Preceptor, it must be this person."
