Xu An shouted in the whistling wind: "Miss Ling'er, my master is anxious to go back and see Miss Jiang.
If you really can't catch up, you can run slowly behind. You know the way to the capital anyway."
"Is this how you treat Gu Lan's junior sister? I'm a girl traveling alone, aren't you afraid that I'll get into danger?"
"Miss Ling'er, you are joking. Since you dare to venture into the world alone, you must have some extraordinary qualities. How can you be the kind of weak woman who needs protection at every turn?"
Gu Ling'er was speechless for a moment. Why did this idiot Xu An react so quickly today?
"Then I don't want to go on the road alone!"
"Huh? You still want to drag someone down with you?"
Gu Linger: “…”
Gu Ling'er was slightly angry, "Xu An, are you living too comfortably? Are you looking for a fight?"
"Look, I told you that you are not a weak woman! But..." Xu An paused, "It is not gentlemanly to let a girl like you go on the road alone."
Xu An said as he looked at the several secret guards of the emperor running beside him. After thinking for a while, he said, "Brother An, can you leave one person to accompany Miss Ling'er to the capital?"
An Yi did not answer, but just frowned and looked at Xu An in confusion.
Xu An explained to him, "Hasn't your majesty always wanted to see the ancient divine doctor? Miss Ling'er is the granddaughter of the divine doctor, so your majesty must want to see her too.
Furthermore, if Miss Ling'er is happy, she might even help His Majesty introduce the ancient divine doctor."
After thinking about it, An Yi felt that Xu An was right, so he turned his head and looked at one of his subordinates next to him.
"Xiao San, you stay and protect Miss Ling'er."
"Yes, Boss."
Hearing this, Xu An turned around and looked at Gu Ling'er behind him, "Miss Ling'er, I found a companion for you. You just run slowly behind me, and we'll see you in the capital."
As his voice fell, Lu Yunting increased the speed of his horse, followed closely by Xu An, An Yi and others.
In the blink of an eye, the figures of several people were reduced to just a few black dots.
Gu Linger slowed down and muttered to herself, "Were they already accommodating my speed before?"
"Yes." An San mistakenly thought that he was asking himself.
When Gu Ling'er heard the voice, she slowly turned her head, looked at the other person for a few seconds, and then looked away.
She curled her lips and said, "Miss Jiang, I'm here."

Back in the capital, Emperor Yuan brought Jiang Yueyang to Ning'an Palace.
Imperial Physician Zhou was giving acupuncture to the Empress, while Dean Guo was standing by and watching.
Seeing Emperor Yuan coming, the Empress subconsciously wanted to stand up and salute him.
"Your Majesty, please don't move." Imperial Physician Zhou spoke out to stop her.
When Emperor Yuan heard what Doctor Zhou said, he hurried to the bedside and said, "Queen, have you forgotten? I told you that you don't need to bow to me in private."
The Queen thought to herself, I haven’t forgotten. There are outsiders here, so I’m giving you face.
"How is the Queen's condition?" Emperor Yuan looked at Guo Yuanzheng.
Guo Yuanzheng bowed and replied: "From the pulse, the condition of the fetus in your womb has not changed."
Without change, there is naturally no improvement, and it is still as dangerous as before.
At this time, Doctor Zhou finished the acupuncture and stood up to salute Emperor Yuan.
The system suddenly spoke, [Host, this Doctor Zhou's acupuncture method for preserving the fetus is amazing! Hmm... According to this situation, the fetus can still hold on for two or three more days.]
When the people present heard this, there was a flash of surprise in their eyes.
Doctor Zhou was also surprised, as he had figured out this acupuncture method over the past two days, and today he was giving it to the Empress for the first time.
Jiang Yueyang looked at Doctor Zhou after hearing this, and after looking him up and down, he praised: "I didn't expect that Doctor Zhou, who looks so young, has such great medical skills."
As she said this, she looked at Guo Yuanzheng with pity again, [The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach. It seems that Guo Yuanzheng will soon step down and let others take over. ]
Guo Yuanzheng: “…”
Doctor Zhou: ...I beg you, Master Xiao Jiang, to stop doing this!
Emperor Yuan seemed to be thinking about something, thinking that it was time for Dean Guo to calm down and study medicine.
Emperor Yuan looked at Doctor Zhou and asked, "Doctor Zhou, what kind of acupuncture method did you use on the Empress?"
"Your Majesty, this set of needle techniques was developed by me in the past two days, and it has not yet been named."
Jiang Yueyang exclaimed again, "It only took two days to come up with such a good acupuncture method to preserve the pregnancy. This is a medical genius!"
The system hummed in agreement, [Director Guo is getting old.]
Dean Guo looked anxious and asked, "Are you two planning to kill me today?"
Don’t you see that Your Majesty is already thinking about whether I should stay or go?
Can you please be more merciful with your words?
Emperor Yuan retracted his gaze and looked at Jiang Yueyang, who was watching Guo Yuanzheng secretly shaking his head, "Jiang Yueyang, go check the Queen's pulse."
Jiang Yueyang was stunned for a moment, and responded slowly, "Yes."
She walked over to the Queen and sat down, then stretched out two fingers and pretended to take her pulse.
【Small melon.】
The system said: [No changes from before. However, it will be better with the acupuncture method of the imperial physician last week.]
After he finished speaking, Jiang Yueyang imitated him and said, "My queen, Doctor Zhou's acupuncture method for preserving the fetus is very good. The fetus in your belly has a better chance of survival."
"Really?" The Queen was truly happy.
Jiang Yueyang nodded affirmatively, "But Madam, you have to relax and don't worry too much, it's not good for the fetus."
The Queen wanted to say that it was easier said than done, but in the end she nodded slightly at Jiang Yueyang.
Then, she moved her gaze to look at Doctor Zhou, "Thank you for your help during this period."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is my duty."
At this time, Emperor Yuan said, "Okay, Jiang Yueyang, you can go back now."
Jiang Yueyang: "..."
Jiang Yueyang complained in her heart with great dissatisfaction, [Humph! Your Majesty is such a shameless bastard, he just throws people away after using them! ]
Emperor Yuan: Dog thing?
The system laughed, [Do you think he would keep you for dinner? ]
The Queen quickly smiled to calm her anger, "Aunt Shang, go to my storehouse and pick out a few valuable items to give to Lord Xiao Jiang."
Jiang Yueyang's eyes lit up when she heard this, [The Queen is generous and sensible, unlike His Majesty who is so unkind. ]
[The emperor's private treasury only has so much stuff, he can't be generous even if he wants to! ]
After hearing this conversation, Emperor Yuan said unconvincedly: "Li Fuquan, give her the konghou in my private storehouse."
The system was surprised, [Oh my god, the emperor is willing to give you that konghou! ]
[Is it expensive? ]
[The host will know when he sees it. 】
Jiang Yueyang did not ask any more questions, but bowed to the emperor and empress and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
After Jiang Yueyang left, Emperor Yuan looked at the silver needles on the Empress' body and asked, "Doctor Zhou, how long will it take to remove the needles?"
"Your Majesty, it will take another quarter of an hour."
The Queen Mother asked, "But are you going to see the child?"
"Um."
At this time, on the other side, Fang Yu'an had been waiting in the side hall of Huaqing Palace for some time.
Finally, he couldn't help but ask Kong Jijiu who brought him here.
"Master Jijiu, I would like to ask you, do you know why His Majesty summoned me?"
