Chapter 459: A Disciple for Free
[Tsk tsk, Yin Lanci might be a little crazy, but she's truly amazing. She actually managed to perform a blood transfusion with the rudimentary conditions of this world, and on such a tiny child. She must have a deep understanding of the human body. If she were willing to become a doctor, she'd definitely be a renowned one.]
【Speaking of which, this can be considered a motherly heart, right?】
It is immune to all poisons, in other words, it repels poisons, so naturally no poison can grow in the body.
Chu Liuzheng felt that Yin Lanci gave Tang Ge'er a blood transfusion and sent him to another place to be raised. Although it was inconvenient to take the child around, it might also be a protective measure.
Perhaps Yin Lanci, like all mothers in the world, hopes that her children will be happy, healthy, and safe, instead of living with all kinds of poisonous insects, snakes, and ants all day long and becoming half-human, half-ghost.
Of course, all this was just Chu Liuzheng's guess. No one knew what Yin Lanci was thinking. Even if Chu Liuzheng could find out a little bit from the system, she didn't want to waste the effort.
She was lost in thought when she suddenly heard Feng Jing ask, "Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with Tang Ge'er?"
When he heard his own name, Tang Ge'er raised his little head and looked at the person who was speaking with his big eyes, as if asking, are you calling me?
Feng Jing smiled at him and shifted his gaze back to the emperor's face.
Xiao Jingfan rubbed the soft hair on the child's head. He had already decided on a place for Tang Ge'er in his mind, but when he saw Feng Jing seemed to have some plans, he asked, "What suggestions do you have?"
Feng Jing said truthfully: "I want to take in a disciple."
Chu Liuzheng was surprised: "You want to take Tang Ge'er as your apprentice?"
"Yeah." Feng Jing nodded. "Tang Ge'er is as immune to all poisons as I am. When treating patients, he can do what I can do. I can teach him everything I know."
For example, when it comes to detoxification, Feng Jing would often test the poison on himself if he didn't know the exact ratio, then create an antidote based on his body's reaction. A regular doctor would have died by the time they'd even tested the poison, but Tang Ge'er wouldn't do that, and he could even do it better than Feng Jing.
Feng Jing had originally planned to wait until he was older, then take on a disciple based on his liking, and then use his master's methods to raise the disciple to be immune to all poisons. However, he had gone through that himself, and the hardships involved were beyond the imagination of others, so he didn't want his disciple to go through the same thing.
But if he accepted Tang Ge'er as his apprentice, it wouldn't be that troublesome. Yin Lanci had already cultivated the ability to be immune to all poisons in his own child, so Feng Jing could just take advantage of it.
The most difficult thing now is the emperor.
Tang Ge'er is the son of the fifth prince and Yin Lanci. His father was a loser in the competition for the throne, and his mother was a rebel leader. With such a background, the emperor might be thinking of killing him completely.
Xiao Jingfan put Tang Ge'er on the table and pointed at Feng Jing, "Do you want to go with him?"
Tang Ge'er turned his head to look at Feng Jing. Feng Jing smiled at him and opened his hands towards him, "Tang Ge'er, come here."
Chu Liuzheng blinked.
[Tyrant, is this giving Tang Ge'er the chance to make his own choice? Tang Ge'er is only a little old, do you understand what this means?]
Tang Ge'er stared at Feng Jing with his eyes clear and bright, but his butt was firmly seated on the table without moving.
Feng Jing clapped his hands and called him, "Tang Ge'er, come here."
Tang Ge'er didn't move, and even crawled towards Xiao Jingfan.
Chu Liuzheng's eyes rolled, and he reached out to pick up a piece of osmanthus honey cake from the table and handed it to Feng Jing.
[You definitely need food to entertain a child, so hurry up!]
Xiao Jingfan looked at her. Chu Liuzheng touched his nose and looked away guiltily.
She knew what the emperor had planned for Tang Ge'er, but it was such a waste to turn such a promising doctor into a useless one.
If I follow Feng Jing to learn medicine, and save people in the future, it can be regarded as atonement for the sin of killing committed by Yin Lanci. Isn't it better than raising a parasite who only knows how to eat and drink and does nothing?
Give the child a chance. She thinks Tang Ge'er has a good personality and should be different from his parents.
Besides, if Tang Ge'er grows up and learns about his life experience, and really has ideas about revenge or the throne, I don't have the conditions to do that.
After the Fifth Prince's death, almost all of those loyal subordinates defected to Yin Lanci. Now Yin Lanci was gone, and only two Dragon Shadow Guards were still at large. The remnants of the Yong Dynasty were captured and killed by the Jinyiwei, making it difficult for them to become powerful again.
If Tang Ge'er relies on himself to gather power and follows his master Feng Jing, who has no power and always wants to hide in the mountains, how long will it take him to succeed?
Instead of worrying about Tang Ge'er rebelling, it is better to govern the country well. In a peaceful and prosperous era, when the people live and work in peace and contentment, who would go to rebel against the enemy?
With the sweet-scented osmanthus honey cake as his weapon, Feng Jing teased Tang Ge'er again, and Tang Ge'er really crawled towards him and sat obediently in his arms to eat the snack.
Feng Jing was so happy that he looked at Xiao Jingfan and said, "Your Majesty, can Tang Ge'er be considered my apprentice?"
Xiao Jingfan said nothing, staring at Tang Ge'er with his deep eyes.
Tang Ge'er thought he wanted to eat the cake, so he quickly took a bite and handed the remaining half to him with his little hand, "Eat."
Xiao Jingfan glanced at the small piece of cake, then stood up and left.
Feng Jing blinked and looked at Chu Liuzheng: "Your Majesty, what is this?"
"I agree." Chu Liuzheng exhaled and looked at Feng Jing. "You know Tang Ge'er's identity. I'm afraid you will have to worry about him more in the future."
"Of course." Feng Jingbai was so happy to have an apprentice that he raised his hand to rub Tang Ge'er's head. "I will definitely teach him well."
Tang Ge'er didn't know that he was about to embark on the path of studying medicine. He munched on snacks with his little mouth and his feet dangled from side to side.
Chu Liuzheng sent someone to prepare some things the child needed and sent them to Feng Jing. From then on, Feng Jing began the task of raising a child and educating his disciples, and he was extremely busy.
Bai took Chu Yuxin out of the palace the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Chu Liuzheng watched the carriage leave, feeling a little empty in his heart. He didn't want to go back to Wenhua Palace, so he took Chenxing and Siyue to wander around the palace.
Xiao Jingfan didn't come back after he finished his work, so he called Zhou Yuande to ask, and found out that Chu Liuzheng had actually gone to the imperial kitchen and said he wanted to make some hot pot.
He put down his pen and went to the imperial kitchen to look for someone.
In the imperial kitchen, Chu Liuzheng was directing the imperial chefs to stir-fry the base of the pot. She had originally wanted to do it herself, but none of the imperial chefs would let her touch their pots and spoons, threatening to hit her head and kill herself.
Chu Liuzheng didn't want to force all the imperial chefs to death for a hotpot meal, so she ordered people to move stools over. She was responsible for giving instructions, the imperial chefs were responsible for frying, and the kitchen assistants were responsible for preparing the dishes. It was quite harmonious.
The palace had made clear soup hot pot before, and although it was fresh, the aroma was not as overbearing as the spicy and fragrant hot pot. It attracted many palace maids who came to serve the food, craning their necks to watch and swallowing their saliva.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
A loud shout frightened everyone and they all knelt down, wondering how the emperor had the time to come to the imperial kitchen?
Xiao Jingfan: "Everyone get up."
Chu Liuzheng came out upon hearing the voice, bowed, and asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
