Jiang Ling specifically asked Fang Juexia in detail about Xingxing's illness. Fang Juexia only said that she was basically recovered, but she still needed to take good care of herself. As long as she didn't get any serious illness again, her body would get better and better.
His tone was as calm as ever, but there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes as he looked at Xingxing.
Jiang Ling thanked him sincerely and prepared many gifts for him, but he refused to accept them.
She knew that in Fang Juexia's heart, these material possessions were no longer important. His only concern and regret was his younger brother Fang Niandong.
But the dead cannot be resurrected, and Jiang Ling had no way to reassure him about this. She could only stubbornly leave behind many medical skills and medical classics that she had collected, thinking that he might take a look at them.
Meng Linghan and Lin Niantao had originally come to Beijing to send Xingxing for treatment, but there were many things they couldn't leave behind at home in Fuzhou. In addition, Meng Junyao was taking the imperial examination this year and was in Fuzhou, so they also needed to arrange for his care.
So the two of them stayed in the capital for some time and then returned to Fuzhou.
Later, Lin Niantao was worried about Xingxing, so after sending Meng Junyao to the examination hall, she came to the capital alone. Jiang Ling took her to the palace to visit Xingxing twice.
Now that Xingxing's illness has recovered, Meng Linghan rushed to the capital overnight.
Meng Junyao will take part in the autumn examination, also known as the provincial examination, in August, and the time is initially scheduled for mid-August.
When I heard that my sister had recovered from her illness, I was very happy and insisted on following her to the capital. However, the journey was long, and even if I could make it in time, it would be very tiring to go back and forth.
But no matter how Meng Linghan tried to persuade him, it was useless. Knowing that he was concerned about his sister, he asked him to come and see him and then hurried back to Fuzhou to take part in the autumn examination.
The two men brought a lot of thank-you gifts from Fuzhou and asked for permission to enter the palace. The three of them thanked Fang Juexia in person.
After not seeing her for a few months, Xingxing's complexion has improved a lot. She is rosy-cheeked and looks healthy. Even her body has gained a lot of weight. She was too thin before.
Several people thanked her again and again. Lin Niantao's eyes were moist and her voice was choked, which made people moved.
Fang Juexia looked at their sincere gratitude, and the thanks he received for the first time he cured and saved a life seemed to ring in his ears again.
After many years, the satisfied and warm feeling in his heart once again swept over him, making him feel a little dazed.
He only accepted some of the inexpensive gifts they brought as a thank you, and asked them to take good care of Xingxing's health.
The three of them nodded repeatedly to indicate that they remembered it.
At this point, after they thanked the emperor and the empress and paid their respects to the empress dowager, Xingxing could move out of the palace and go home.
After stepping out of the Imperial Hospital, Xingxing turned around and ran back.
He handed the painting hidden in his sleeve to Fang Juexia with both hands.
"Doctor Fang, this is what Hua Xu taught me to draw. It's much better than the previous one. I'm giving it to you."
The little girl's childish voice was full of gratitude, and her cute face was filled with a smile, which made people smile as well.
After a moment of stunned silence, Fang Juexia reached out to take it. His face beneath the mask softened and he showed a faint smile.
"Thank you for waking up. I'll take it."
When Xingxing saw his slightly curved eyes, she knew that he was smiling.
After walking a few steps, she couldn't help but look back before leaving. She raised a lovely smile and said softly, "Doctor Fang, please smile more. Doctor Fang is so gentle when he smiles, and it makes you feel better."
After saying that, he quickly ran to catch up with his parents and brother in front of him.
Fang Juexia stood there watching the small figure walk away. He unfolded the painting, which showed a thin man sorting herbs in the yard.
The brushstrokes are still very immature, but it is indeed a great improvement compared to the previous one.
At least he could tell at a glance that the painting was of him.
Fang Juexia unconsciously curled up the corners of his lips again, turned around and went back to the bedroom, rolled up the painting carefully, opened the wooden box at the head of the bed, and put the painting in it carefully.
There are also two scrolls placed side by side inside.
One was worn and yellowed, with a picture of him and his brother on it, and the other was given to him by Xingxing, with a picture of him and Xingxing on it.
After putting it in and closing the box, he couldn't help but rub it gently with his hand, then stood up and continued to fiddle with the herbs.
That box is full of his treasures.

When Xingxing was about to leave the palace, the first person she was reluctant to leave was Hua Xu.
She sincerely treated Xingxing as a good friend, but still had to face separation.
Hua Xu followed him to the palace gate in person. Her pretty and cute face was wrinkled the whole time, and it was obvious that she was unhappy.
She held Xingxing's hand and repeatedly asked her to come and see her when she was free.
"We agreed. You can't regret it, and you can't forget me."
Xingxing was also reluctant to leave her, so she went over and gave her a big hug. She held her hand and promised, "I will definitely not forget you. When I come to the capital during the New Year or other holidays, or when I have time, I will definitely come to see you."
The two little kids were reluctant to leave, which made Meng Linghan and others laugh.
Jiang Ling also came along. She walked over and said with a smile, "Don't be upset. You can exchange letters. We'll be able to see each other for a long time in the future."
The two nodded and agreed to write to each other often, and then said goodbye reluctantly.
The Jiang family set up two banquet tables and invited familiar and close relatives and friends to celebrate Xingxing's recovery.
After the banquet, Meng Junyao set out on the road back to Fuzhou early the next morning.
The provincial examination will be held in mid-August, and he has to rush back to take the exam.
Before leaving, he went to Zhou's house to see Jiang Ling.
At that time, Jiang Ling had just woken up and was having breakfast with Zhou Jing'an.
Meng Junyao didn't stay long. After saying a few words, he left the gift and was about to leave.
"This stone isn't something precious, but it's of a unique shape and beautiful color. I thought I'd give it to you so you can have something to entertain yourself with."
