Chapter 404 You Can't
Within a few days, Qiao Wanyan heard two pieces of news in Yongning Pavilion.
Qiao Jibai was recommended by the Hanlin academician to go to the Imperial Censorate.
Shen Shoufu's grandson's birthday banquet was held, and a banquet invitation was sent to the Qiao family.
Qiao Wanyan put down her nails and looked at them. "It's only been a few days, and he's been promoted again. My cousin is really having a smooth career."
Zi Yuan said: "Young Master is a member of our Qiao family, and is valued by the master. His smooth career is also a glory to our Qiao family!"
"It's rising too fast. I always feel there's some conspiracy." Qiao Wanyan picked up a candied fruit and threw it towards Lu Jinye who was not far away, and said, "But Daddy will pay attention to these things."
Zi Yuan asked: "Should we go to the Shen family's birthday party?"
Qiao Wanyan said nonchalantly, "No. It's almost the blessing ceremony, and I don't want to move because everything is in a mess. What's more, I don't even want to go to the Shen family's banquet, even if the Shen family came to pick me up personally."
Daddy has said that the Shen family is almost doomed. Although we don’t know what will happen, why bother ourselves with trouble?
Shen Lingyi had a grudge against herself, so nothing good would happen if she went to the Shen family.
Outside the door, the maid passed on the message, "Miss, Master Yun is back."
Yun Heng was summoned to the palace early in the morning, and it was almost noon now.
Yun did not come directly to Yongning Pavilion, but returned to her own yard to take a bath and change clothes, and then went to Yongning Pavilion with a fragrant smell.
"Why are you so slow? Normally, it only takes an hour to get back from the palace."
Yun Heng naturally took the handkerchief from Zi Yuan's hand and wiped the Impatiens juice that was stained on her skin.
"A man rang the drum to report his crimes, claiming to be from Zhenyang Pass, and sued the Zhenyang Joint Commander for doing evil. He was seriously injured, and fainted before he could see the emperor. I saved him and wasted some time."
Qiao Wanyan frowned, "Zhenyang Pass?"
It’s the person Liu Yanran mentioned!
"That's right. He was already dying when he fainted. His injuries were so severe that he probably only had a few days to live. Since this matter concerns the Zhenyang Pass border fortress, the emperor seemed to have made an exception and summoned him without torturing him first."
Qiao Wanyan stood up and said, "Ziyuan, have you checked whether He Zhiyu has returned to Beijing?"
"No need to check. I saw him when I left the palace. It seemed that he had just returned to the capital to meet the emperor for an important matter."
Qiao Wanyan lowered her eyes. A man ran out from Zhenyang Pass. According to what Liu Yanran said, in the end it would be He Zhiyu who went to Zhenyang Pass, performed great merits, and was abolished and re-established.
Now He Zhiyu has indeed followed him back to the capital. If He Zhiyu is really allowed to go, he will definitely ascend to the throne of crown prince again.
It doesn’t matter who becomes the crown prince, what matters is that you become the crown princess.
But at the moment, Qiao Yihuan has not been completely eliminated, and He Zhiyu, the male protagonist of Tiandao, may not be influenced by Tiandao and be involved with Qiao Yihuan again. Qiao Yihuan has left the capital, but she does not believe that Qiao Yihuan will just stop like that.
If something unexpected happens in the future, it will only bring you trouble and cost you more time and energy.
If He Yanli became the crown prince, he would never have anything to do with Qiao Yihuan, the female protagonist of Tiandao.
The answer to which one requires less effort is obvious.
"Zi Yuan, go check where King Jing is now?"
After Yun Heng left Yongning Pavilion, he went to the study. When the servant in the study saw him coming, he retreated and closed the door.
"Mr. Yun, have a cup of tea. This is the new Taiping Houkui tea we got today. Would you like to try it?"
Yun Heng sat down and picked up the teacup. "Your Majesty's pulse is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. If this continues, the yin and yang will be out of balance, and the qi and blood will not be able to nourish the internal organs and meridians. This will only lead to the exhaustion of heart blood and the separation of yin and yang."
Minister Qiao said, "The doctors in the Imperial Hospital are all top doctors. Although they are not as good as Master Yun, they can definitely diagnose this kind of pulse. Master Yun, do you know why the doctors in the Imperial Hospital are still alive?"
Yun Heng: "I don't know."
Minister Qiao smiled and said, "The emperor is obsessed with elixirs and believes in immortality. A royal doctor once tried to dissuade him but was beaten to death. In order to stay alive, naturally no one dares to say anything the emperor doesn't like to hear. This is why I have told Master Yun to be careful with his words since he first entered the palace."
Taking the elixir would make the body noticeably stronger, and the emperor would naturally become more convinced and obsessed.
But this matter is a secret.
Yun Heng: "I said it."
Minister Qiao's hands trembled, and he almost dropped the teacup in his hand. "What? What did you say?"
Yun Heng looked calm, "I said that the emperor's pulse is normal, but he feels a little empty inside, so it's better for him to go to the harem less often."
Minister Qiao: “…”
You're not a little bastard, why are you panting when you talk???
Minister Qiao said this in his heart but held back.
But Yun Heng could tell from his eyes that Minister Qiao seemed to be cursing himself in his heart.
"You are scolding me." Yun Heng stated a fact.
Minister Qiao shook his head. "What nonsense are you talking about? You are a young man who likes to daydream."
Yun Heng took a sip of tea and put down the teacup. "It's okay. You are Wan Yan's father. I won't be angry even if you hit me."
Minister Qiao couldn't help but walk to the door and look at Yun Heng's back as he left. What has his daughter done to the world-famous genius doctor?
"Oh, it's tuned pretty well."
Minister Qiao pursed his lips and laughed, seeming to be in a good mood.
Zi Yuan found out that Prince Jing was now in Zhaixing Tower, and the carriage was parked in front of the Shangshu Mansion waiting for the young lady to go out.
But just as Qiao Wanyan walked out of the door, she saw a eunuch in palace costume getting off the carriage and walking towards her quickly.
"Good luck to you, Miss. I just happened to meet you here. I am Xiao Dezi, who was assigned by the palace to assist Abbot Jingxin in presiding over the blessing ceremony. Abbot Jingxin invites you to go to Baohua Hall. The carriage is ready for you."
