Chapter 421 Genius Doctor, Fake Daughter, and Deposed Prince 30
Cha Jiu tried hard to persuade Pei Yu, acting coquettishly and pitifully, and finally got the approval of the new emperor to leave the palace to meet Du Zhong.
Pei Yu held her hand tightly: "Promise you won't leave the capital with him"
Cha Jiu raised two fingers, her face serious, and swore to the sky: "I promise."
I still want your two children, so I can't leave.
Pei Yu was still worried, so he arranged for many people to follow her out of the palace, and even sent the leader of the Yulin Army, Zong Heng, to go with her.
City gates, separate places.
Du Zhong glanced at the group of people following Cha Jiu and snorted disdainfully: "Humph, if I really want to take you away by force, no matter how many people he sends, it will be useless. A handful of poison powder is enough to turn them all into soft shrimps."
Zong Heng's expression changed slightly, and he immediately became alert.
Cha Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "They are just following orders to carry out their official duties. Don't scare them."
Du Zhong then withdrew his gaze and stared at his granddaughter's face for a long time.
"At first, power and wealth are dazzling. No matter what the future holds, you must stay true to your original intention and never forget the kindness and harmony of a medical student. Only in this way can you survive in this ever-changing world."
Cha Jiu nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will never forget my original intention as a doctor. Your Majesty has allowed me to open a medical school in the capital to spread and teach the medical skills I have learned. And after the medical school trains talents, they can also go to various places to provide free clinics and treat the poor and sick people. Saving more people is saving more."
She has even longer-term plans.
That is to open such medical schools throughout the Northern Jin Kingdom to popularize basic medical knowledge and first aid knowledge, so that the people can become their own doctors, be able to treat minor illnesses themselves, be aware of major illnesses themselves, and receive timely treatment.
Free clinics and convenience hospitals should also be popularized.
Du Zhong was moved: "You have great righteousness in your heart, as well as ability and foresight. It is right for you to stay in the capital. You can help more people."
No matter how reluctant you are, there is a time to say goodbye.
"Take care, grandpa." Looking at Du Zhong's leaving back, Cha Jiu couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Du Zhong didn't look back, just waved his hand and left gracefully.
He also has his own way.
Traveling around the world, practicing medicine and saving lives, constantly encountering and studying new difficult and complicated diseases, broadening my horizons, and making this short life worthwhile.
…
When Cha Jiu returned to the palace, Pei Yu was sitting on the mahogany chair in the hall in front of her bedroom, waiting anxiously.
Although he was holding a memorial in his hand and checking it, his seemingly calm expression revealed a hint of uneasiness, and he raised his head to look outside the door from time to time.
It was not until he saw Cha Jiu walking in that he breathed a sigh of relief and his brows relaxed.
"Why did you take so long?" He didn't say it as a reproach, but rather with a hint of intimate complaint.
Cha Jiu glanced at the sky outside and said, "It's only been an hour since I left the palace and came back."
"It's only been an hour, but why does it feel like a year?" Pei Yu held her in his arms, buried his head in her neck, and chuckled.
Yun An, who was standing beside him, was trembling all over.
Why didn't I realize that His Majesty was so...
Cha Jiu patted the back of his hand to comfort him, and then held the food box in front of him: "Look, this is the Yun Gui Cake you like. I saw it was on sale when I returned to the palace, so I brought some back. Hurry up and try it while it's still hot."
When they were in the old residence, Pei Yu suddenly fell in love with this extremely sweet pastry. Cha Jiu couldn't appreciate it, but he would still buy some for him when he saw it occasionally.
Pei Yu hadn't eaten yet, but he felt sweet inside: "Zhichu always thinks of me in his heart."
His smiling face showed no trace of the gloom that had been lingering in his waiting alone.
Yun An lowered his head and held his forehead.
Your Majesty, please show some respect! It's just a piece of roadside cake!
"Is it sweet?" Cha Jiu couldn't help but ask as she stared at Pei Yu pinching a piece of cake from the food box and putting it into his mouth.
"It's sweet. Try it, too."
Cha Jiu was about to speak but was enveloped by a tall figure leaning down. His thin lips, with the sweet taste of pastries, covered her lips, sucked and pressed lightly, prying them open and invading them.
Ambiguous sounds echoed intermittently in the front hall.
Yun An had already quietly left, leaving the two of them some space to be alone.
Cha Jiu didn't like sweet things, but when Pei Yu kissed her, it didn't feel like the sweetness of pastries as she had imagined. Instead, the elegant herbal fragrance on his body prevailed.
The remaining taste of the cake also became extremely faint, like a hint of sweetness in the bitterness, like osmanthus foam sprinkled on the wine.
……tasty.
Cha Jiu was surprised and couldn't help but take a bite on those thin lips.
Then he realized that his behavior was not kind, smiled embarrassedly, carefully extended his tongue tip, and gently licked the bite mark to soothe it.
Little did they know that such behavior would only make them more angry.
Pei Yu's eyes quickly became dark and thick, and he placed his big hand on her soft and slender lower back, slowly and heavily pressing towards herself.
Then, an even hotter and fiercer kiss fell...
…
Ten days later, the emperor and empress got married.
Although the schedule was somewhat tight, the wedding ceremony etiquette and the required clothing and utensils were not perfunctory or vague.
The phoenix crown that Cha Jiu was going to wear on her wedding day alone was made with the intricate threadwork of hundreds of experienced masters in the capital working day and night, and was worth a fortune. Not to mention other more exquisite items.
Pei Yu also arranged for Cha Jiu to return to the Xue family to recognize her ancestry, and then stay there until an auspicious day before getting married.
Now everyone in the capital knew that the current empress was General Xue's long-lost niece. In terms of family background, she was no less than any other noblewoman from an aristocratic family.
Those who had mocked and talked about her behind her back were finally silenced.
On the contrary, the Xue family benefited from the new empress, and their status in the capital rose rapidly. The family was no longer so popular in the past because of the Fourth Prince's exclusion. There was an endless stream of noble families who took the initiative to come to the family and wanted to marry Xue Ling.
General Xue rejected them all.
Xue Ling heaved a sigh of relief, feeling like he had just survived a disaster: "I was really scared. Those icy men and the ladies from the noble families looked at me like hungry wolves seeing a sheep. I was so scared!"
General Xue was a very reasonable man, and he took the opportunity to teach his son: "Everything that rises must fall. Our Xue family holds military power and is already at the center of controversy. Now that we have married into the royal family, we should be more careful with our words and actions and not bring trouble to the Empress in the palace."
Xue Lingzheng nodded: "Don't worry, Dad! I understand this principle."
As a result, the Xue family father and son acted more low-key, abided by their duties, just guarded the border town and fought well, and did not interfere in any power struggles. As a result, the monarch and his subjects lived in harmony for decades, and the situations that everyone expected, such as the Xue family becoming more powerful than the monarch, the external relatives causing trouble, and His Majesty being suspicious and suppressing them, never happened.
In the second year after entering the palace, Cha Jiu gave birth to twins.
