"Do you think that guy is really generous? Humph, if I hadn't let him extort a lot of money from me, would he have been so generous to give me so many medicinal herbs?" Zhong Zhiling said with a look of disapproval.
"What? Is the Turkic emperor trying to get something from you again?" Meng Tan mumbled while gnawing on a bone. "In the past, the Turkic emperor was not a good person. He relied on the fact that the general had chosen a princess, so he was always polite to us. Why is it that now that the princess has married, he has become even more aggressive?"
"Forget it. I'm his only brother-in-law anyway. If he doesn't blackmail me, who else can he blackmail?" Zhong Zhiling smiled and shook his head. He instructed Meng Tan, "Go to the warehouse and see how many jars of Fenjiu are left. Send someone to deliver a few dozen more jars. That boy really likes this."
"General, you always complain that the Turkic emperor is blackmailing you, isn't it you who spoiled him? Before you and the princess got married, the Turkic emperor had already decided on you as his brother-in-law, and didn't you also decide on him as his brother-in-law? I have never seen anyone dote on his brother-in-law as much as you do," Meng Tan said with a smile, but couldn't help but sigh, "But the Turkic emperor is really good to you. When you wanted to go back to the capital, the Turkic emperor fully supported you in the rear, which allowed you to get away safely and return to the northwest. I am very grateful to the Turkic emperor."
"Yes, it's hard for him to trust and support me for so many years," Zhong Zhiling sighed, "My brothers wanted to kill me, but he, a brother from another race, was so sincere to me."
"That's because the general treats him sincerely," Meng Tan said. He suddenly seemed to remember something, put down the bone in his hand, and said to Zhong Zhiling, "Now that we have the herbs, how about I take the herbs and the formula to Ningguta? Ask Mr. Gu to prepare the antidote as soon as possible?"
"Well, we have to send the herbs and formula to Ningguta as soon as possible, but you don't need to go now. Send other brothers there immediately, and you stay here," Zhong Zhiling nodded, his face a little solemn, "In a few days, the princess and I will also leave for Beijing to pay homage to the Queen Mother. At that time, you have to accompany us and give orders. Try to rush the antidote from Ningguta to the capital before I leave this time. After Mingwei is detoxified, I can rest assured to do big things."
Zhong Mingwei was ordered to go to the capital to attend the funeral, and Zhong Zhiling also heard the news. It had been nearly two months since he got married, and according to the rules, he should bring Helan Ya to the capital to meet the emperor and pay homage to the empress dowager. So Zhong Zhiling wanted to take this opportunity to discuss important matters with Zhong Mingwei, and also wanted to take this opportunity to regulate Zhong Mingwei's body and remove the poison of the Huanqing Powder from his body. This has always been Zhong Zhiling's biggest worry.
"Yes, I obey your command. I will do it right away." Meng Tan said hurriedly.
"Your Highness! Your Highness!" Suddenly, a maid ran in in a hurry, looking anxious and ready to cry. "Your Highness, the princess is vomiting all of a sudden, and she's about to vomit out her gallbladder! Please go in and take a look!"
"Meng Tan, go and get the doctor!" Zhong Zhiling's face changed drastically, and he immediately followed the maid into the backyard.
"Yes, I obey your command!" Meng Tan was also frightened and quickly ran to ask for a medical officer.
…
Backyard bedroom.
Helan Ya was lying on the couch with a pale face, letting the medical officer feel her pulse. Zhong Zhiling was sitting beside her, wringing a handkerchief to wipe Helan Ya's face.
"Doctor Zhang, what happened to the princess?" Zhong Zhiling looked at Doctor Zhang kneeling on the ground, taking the princess' pulse for a long time without saying a word, and he couldn't help but feel a little impatient.
