Jiang Xinian has a house in Beijing. Not only that, it is also quite large. It has five courtyards and is in a good location, very close to the imperial palace.
This used to be the prince's palace. Later, because Jiang Xi Nian had made great contributions in treating the emperor many years ago, he was specially given here as a reward.
The carriage swayed slowly to the gate of the mansion. The two stone lions at the gate looked particularly majestic.
The guards at the door immediately came forward when they saw the carriage. They were not surprised to see Jiang Xinian, after all, they had already received the news.
"Master, welcome home!"
Jiang Xinian rarely came throughout the year, so he basically didn't know these people. He didn't respond, but just waved his hand.
"Well, is everything ready in the mansion?"
"Yes! After we received the news, we have already cleaned it up immediately. All the rooms are clean and have all the beddings. You can choose the courtyard that suits you and move in.
By the way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting in the front yard. You will see him when you go in."
Jiang Xinian raised his eyebrows, "Okay, got it."
Then he turned to look at Lin Feng and said, "Come on, you can just stay here for the time being, and then go in and pick a yard you like.
After traveling for several days straight, I'm probably tired. After dinner, I can go back and wash up and have a good sleep."
Lin Feng and his wife looked at the huge yard and felt a little cramped for a moment.
They had never dared to imagine such a big yard before. Even the plaque on the gate at the entrance was bordered with gold, which looked very grand.
But fortunately, with Jiang Xinian leading the way, nothing went wrong.
Everyone walked towards the front yard, and the various flowers, plants and trees on the road were quite pleasing to the eye.
As soon as he walked into the front yard, the eldest prince Su Jingsheng was already standing there waiting. When he saw Jiang Xinian coming, he immediately bowed.
"Disciple greets Master."
"Okay, get up. What's the matter? You've waited until now. It can't be because you're afraid that I will punish you, right?" Jiang Xinian looked at him jokingly.
Su Jingsheng was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. He looked around and his eyes fell on Xiao Lingling.
The two, one big and one small, looked at each other. Su Jingsheng saw that Xiao Lingling was not afraid at all, and he liked her very much.
"This must be my Junior Sister, right? Last time I wrote to Xiuyuan, I was a little skeptical when I heard that you adopted a three-year-old child. I never expected it to be true."
Jiang Xinian glared at him in anger, "Why? Do I have to ask you who I want to accept as my apprentice? Little Bell, come here, meet your senior brother, and receive a gift.
After all, you are the eldest prince, so you can't be so unprepared? If what you give me is not to your liking, I will not forgive you! "
When little Lingling heard that there was a gift to be received, she immediately let go of Fang's hand and walked quickly to Su Jingsheng. Her soft little voice sounded very sweet.
"Little Bell meets Big Brother, hello~~"
Looking at such a cute girl, Su Jingsheng couldn't help but squatted down and gently pinched her little face.
"Oh, little Junior Sister is so well behaved, so good! She's much better than those unruly and willful princesses. Come, let Senior Brother hug you!"
Little Lingling was not shy either. When she smelled the medicinal scent on him, she felt inexplicably familiar with it and opened her little arms to hug his neck.
Su Jingsheng picked the person up, then took out a gold medal from his arms and handed it to Xiao Lingling.
"Here, this is the gold medal that Senior Brother gave you. Keep it well. Maybe it will be useful in the future!"
Little Lingling didn't know what the gold medal was for, but it was so shiny that it looked valuable. She quickly took a bite of the medal and almost knocked out her baby teeth.
“Ah, it hurts~~~~”
Su Jingsheng was speechless by her. He quickly took the gold medal and stuffed it into her arms.
"Hey, let Senior Brother take a look?" Su Jingsheng opened Little Bell's mouth and took a look around. "Huh~ Fortunately, fortunately, no teeth are missing. This gold medal is gold, but you are only three years old. How can you bite it with those teeth?
Don't worry, Big Brother, is he going to fool you with that fake one? Keep it well and don't let anyone see it, okay?
Little Bell nodded pitifully, "Oh, I remember."
Lin Feng and Fang looked at each other. They didn't expect that the eldest prince was actually Xiao Lingdang's senior brother. What they didn't expect was that the eldest prince looked so kind and liked Xiao Lingdang so much.
This makes them feel more secure.
This is good. The more people like her, the more people will be willing to protect her. It's a good thing.
Jiang Xinian stepped into the main hall and said, "Alright, let's talk about your mother first. What disease is it that you can't cure?"
Seeing that they were going to talk about serious matters, Su Jingsheng hurried into the house holding Xiao Lingling, his face becoming a little serious.
"Master, if I could cure it, I wouldn't have troubled you so much. The truth is, I really can't. You know, I'm good at detoxification and medicine.
But this time, although my mother remained unconscious, there was no sign of poisoning. I tried several methods, including injecting medicine and acupuncture, but there was no response.
He has been in a coma for ten days now. If he hadn't fed his mother porridge every day, he would have collapsed long ago.
I really had no other choice, so Father sent for you directly."
Jiang Xinian became curious upon hearing this strange behavior, "No signs of poisoning? Even bloodletting doesn't work?"
Su Jingsheng shook his head in frustration.
This is really strange. Generally, poisoning will have various manifestations, which are the symptoms of toxin attack.
For example, some people will have black and purple lips and hands, some will vomit blood, their faces will turn pale and gray, and some will have stiff bodies or even ulcers.
Now, he was just in a coma, and even acupuncture couldn't wake him up. It had to be said that this successfully aroused Jiang Xinian's curiosity.
"Okay, now that we're here, we have to take a look. But it's getting late now. Is it inconvenient for us to enter the palace?"
Su Jingsheng knew what it meant as soon as he heard it, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, "No, no, I have already applied to my father for a token that allows me to enter and leave the palace at any time.
We can go now, but Master, you've just traveled a long way, so how about tomorrow?"
Although he said that, his eager eyes made him want to grab the person and run away immediately, so he was not willing to wait.
Jiang Xinian knew it was a big deal, so he didn't joke with him. "Okay, then let's go take a look now. Lin Feng, you two should pick a yard to live in first.
I'll take this little bell into the palace first. Don't worry, the people Gu Ling arranged should have arrived by now, just let them go with us."
As soon as he finished speaking, two girls came in from outside. They looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing green dresses, and bowed to Xiao Lingling together.
"Your servant Chunying (Qiuyan) greets the young lady."
