In the evening, the food was served and the dishes were all good, but no one had much appetite.
Not only did he eat slowly, but he also sighed after taking a few bites. It made even Little Bell unable to swallow...
Although Jiang Xinian knew that this was inevitable, he could understand it to some extent.
After all, the person he was going to meet was too noble, and Xiao Lingling was too young.
However, Xiao Lingling is so talented that she will reach this point sooner or later.
"Don't worry, everyone. After we set off, I will send a message back every other day.
Just treat this time as a preliminary visit. Sooner or later, your whole family will move to the capital.
After all, the children in your family are all talented, it’s just a matter of time.”
When they heard that they could send a message back, everyone smiled more and started talking to each other, and soon they started discussing.
The topic of discussion among everyone was naturally the capital.
Although ordinary people have some fear of the capital, they also have expectations and curiosity.
Everyone is instinctively curious about the lives of those high-ranking officials or those from prominent families.
Jiang Xinian didn't know much about these things.
He had been to the capital many times and treated many noble families, but he never cared about these things. He would just see the patients, collect the consultation fees and leave.
So he couldn't explain it clearly.
So, when everyone asked him, he couldn't say anything, and the atmosphere became stagnant in an instant.
Suddenly, Huo Qiuyue chuckled.
"When it comes to practicing medicine and treating illnesses, Divine Doctor Jiang is unmatched, but when it comes to these mundane matters, Divine Doctor Jiang may not have much knowledge.
Aunt Zhao, Xiao Lingdang is going to Beijing this time to accompany Doctor Jiang to diagnose the Empress. It would be unsafe to enter the palace without a maid by her side.
Therefore, I specifically told the maid Xing'er I brought with me this time. She has some understanding of the palace rules, and having her accompany her would help Xiao Lingling a little bit."
Xu Guling followed suit, "That's true. If you go to Beijing, it's better to have your own people around you. I've already sent a message to our contact at Cangjian Villa in Beijing.
Once you arrive in Beijing, someone will naturally be there to pick you up. The people I've assigned know some martial arts, so if you encounter any urgent matters, you can hand them over to them.
I also specially arranged for a girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, to be the most suitable person to take care of Xiao Lingling."
It can be said that everyone's arrangements are already very appropriate.
The Lin family was extremely grateful and agreed to everything without any excuses.
The next morning, just after daybreak, the Lin family became bustling with activity, and everyone got up early to prepare breakfast.
After everyone had finished eating, they all came to the door to see them off.
Originally, Su Jingxian had prepared a carriage to pick them up, but there were many people going this time.
Moreover, Jiang Xinian felt that it was easier and more comfortable to ride in his own carriage.
So, they directly used two specially made carriages, and the coachmen were specially selected by Chen Zhe.
Xiao Lingdang and Jiang Xinian sat in one carriage, Fang and Xing'er sat in the other, and Lin Feng sat on the shaft so that he could observe the situation outside.
As they were about to set off, little Bell stuck her head out of the window and waved to her family.
"Grandpa, grandma, great-grandpa, great-grandma, I'm leaving now. Don't miss me too much. I'll be back soon!"
Zhao had prepared herself mentally many times, but when she saw the carriage about to leave, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
She turned her head slightly away so that Xiao Lingling wouldn't see, and waved her hand to signal the carriage to set off, while holding back her sobs.
"Okay, I understand. Be careful on your way, and be safe. Don't forget to send a message back. Okay, let's set off quickly, and don't let the Third Prince wait for you."
Jiang Xinian leaned forward and nodded at them, then gave a few instructions to the coachman outside, and the carriage immediately hurried out of the village.
Seeing the carriage moving farther and farther away, Zhao couldn't help but sob, covering her mouth.
She is not being pretentious. Her sweet daughter is only three years old. Alas!
There was no need to say more. After the carriage set off, it immediately sped up and headed towards Huaxiang County.
Along the way, the two carriages were extremely quiet. It was not until they arrived at the city gate and saw the third prince's motorcade that everyone began to show some interest.
Su Jingxian and Jiang Xinian chatted for a while, and after confirming the route to Beijing, the convoy set off soon.
Because we were heading towards the capital, there were not many refugees on the road. At the beginning, we could still see a few refugees here and there, but gradually, there was no one left.
I have to say that Huaxiang County’s disaster relief efforts are quite strong.
It is actually not far from Huaxiang County to the capital. At normal speed, it takes about five days to walk.
When Su Jing had free time, he would walk for five or six days, but this time he had to go back to see the queen, which could not be delayed, so he rode at full speed all the way.
Except for eating and sleeping, the carriage basically never stopped.
So, the convoy finally managed to return to the capital before dark on the third day.
The towering city gate of the capital can be seen from a distance, and the high city walls stunned Lin Feng and his wife.
The third prince's motorcade did not need to queue or be inspected, and could enter the city directly at the last moment before the city gates were closed.
Originally, he should have gone straight to the palace for treatment upon arriving in the capital, but it was too late now, and the palace gates were almost locked.
Helpless, I can only settle down first and wait until tomorrow to enter the palace.
Little Lingling was leaning listlessly on Jiang Xinian's knees, drowsy, when suddenly someone knocked on the car window.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, our prince said it's too late today. Why don't you all stay at his residence for the night? It won't be too late to return to the palace tomorrow when the emperor summons you."
Little Lingling sat up drowsily because of the noise, opened the curtains and looked out. She saw all kinds of snack vendors on the roadside at a glance, and she immediately started to feel hungry.
Jiang Xinian just found it funny and replied, "No need, I have a place to stay in the capital, so I won't bother Your Highness.
Please tell your prince to thank him for his care along the way. I am really tired today, I will thank him properly another day when I have the chance.
Mingshan nodded quickly and said, "In that case, we won't force you to stay. But His Highness said that if Divine Doctor Jiang encounters anything in the capital and needs help, he can come to the mansion at any time, and His Highness will do his best to help."
"Okay, I'll take note. Thank you, Your Highness. We'll be leaving now. Eunuch Ming, goodbye!"
As soon as Jiang Xinian finished speaking, the carriage left the team.
Mingshan stood aside and saluted the carriage respectfully until it drove away. Then he slowly stood up and quickly returned to his prince to report.
"Divine Doctor Jiang is gone?"
"Yes, Your Highness. I have already said what you instructed me to do."
"Well, that's all. I hope those people can use their brains. If they really anger Divine Doctor Jiang, it would be troublesome if the royal family got angry at them.
Forget it, no one will listen to me, so let them fend for themselves. Let’s go home!”
"yes!"
