Chapter 224 Entering the Palace to Meet the Emperor



Although the two girls are young, they are both good at martial arts and are the best at their age in Cangjian Villa. They speak neither humbly nor arrogantly, and are respectful, which makes people feel comfortable.

Little Bell looked at the two beautiful sisters and felt happy in her heart, "Hello, sisters."

How could the two dare to agree? They said they didn't dare several times, and then stood on either side of the little bell.

Seeing someone accompanying her, Fang felt a little more at ease. "Okay, then we'll wait for you at home. Little Lingling, you must listen to your master when you enter the palace. Be quiet and don't run around or talk too much. Do you understand?"

"Yes, mother, don't worry, I'm very good."

Su Jingsheng also smiled at Lin Feng and the others and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my junior sister."

Seeing Su Jingsheng being so humble, Lin Feng's anxiety was relieved a little.

"Then thank you for your help."

After saying that, Su Jingsheng walked out with Jiang Xinian and others. The carriage had already been prepared. They got in the carriage after going out of the gate and headed towards the palace.

Only Lin Feng and Fang were left standing at the door for a long time, reluctant to go back.

"Master, how can the eldest prince be Xiao Lingdang's brother?"

Lin Feng was also puzzled. "How would I know? But I think there must be some reason, otherwise..."

Although Lin Feng did not take part in the imperial examination, he still read books.

Although he is not a member of the royal family, nor a high-ranking official, he is a prince and a legitimate son. Unless something unexpected happens, the eldest prince should be the best candidate for the crown prince.

Now he has become Xiao Lingdang's senior brother, so something must have happened.

I have to say, sometimes fathers and daughters really have a tacit understanding.

In the carriage, Xiao Lingling asked this question directly to the person's face.

Su Jingsheng was not surprised by this question. Although she was still young, he still gave a brief explanation.

"It's fate. My master saved my life twice. I've always been interested in medicine, so naturally I became obsessed with him.

As for my father and mother, they probably really care about me. Instead of being bedridden every other day, it would be better for me to follow my master and study medicine.

At least, this illness can be cured and I can grow up safely.

Isn’t everything fine now? Every time I talk about this with my mother, she is very pleased.

It sounds simple to Su Jingsheng, but in fact, he had a very hard time in these short decades.

At the beginning, the queen gave birth to him prematurely when she was just eight months pregnant. It was the middle of summer and she almost thought he would not survive.

Jiang Xinian happened to be in Beijing at the time and saved his life.

Although he managed to save his life, he suffered from various illnesses and disasters afterwards. Fortunately, with the queen's careful care, he managed to survive.

Until he was six or seven years old, he caught a severe cold due to a heavy rain and fell ill again.

In the end, it was Jiang Xinian who pulled him back.

The two life-saving graces made him fall in love with medicine.

In order to study medicine with Jiang Xinian, he knelt in the imperial study for more than two hours despite his sick body.

This made the emperor and the empress soften their hearts and fulfill his wish.

After that, he studied medicine at the Divine Doctor's School for six years, and only returned down the mountain after he had achieved success.

Little Lingling didn’t understand much, but from hearing that the eldest brother saved her life twice, she knew that he must have been very miserable in the past.

She has to take better care of her senior brother in the future!

Yes, she is so kind!

The palace was very quiet at night. Apart from the guards, it was empty.

In such a quiet place, the sound of the carriage is particularly obvious and can be heard from a long distance away.

The guards at the city gate immediately stopped the carriage and said, "Who are you? The palace gates are about to be locked. All non-essential personnel please leave immediately!"

Su Jingsheng's voice immediately came from the carriage, and the token in his hand was handed out through the window frame.

"It's me! I have important business to attend to the palace and see the Emperor. I have a token personally awarded by the Emperor. Please get out of the way!"

When the guard saw the dark gold-carved token, he immediately bowed his head respectfully, "Yes! Please, Your Highness!"

As he said this, he opened the city gate and let the carriage pass in smoothly.

However, the rules in the palace were very strict. As soon as we entered the palace gate, the carriages were stopped on the side and everyone had to walk into the palace.

Su Jingsheng knew that his father should have received the news that his master had arrived in Beijing, and he was most likely in the imperial study at this moment, so he immediately took people to ask for an audience.

Sure enough, as soon as he approached, Wang Chao, the eunuch chief of the emperor's affairs, was already waiting there.

"Divine Doctor Jiang, Your Highness, please come in. The Emperor has been waiting for a long time."

"Thank you, Eunuch Wang. We will go in and see the Emperor first."

Wang Chao smiled and nodded, asked someone to open the door of the imperial study, and sent the person in.

Chunying and Qiuyan stood obediently outside the door waiting.

Although it was already dark, the imperial study was still brightly lit with candles. The warm yellow light shining on the emperor made the high and mighty man appear a little softer.

"Divine Doctor Jiang, you're finally here!"

Su Daocheng ascended the throne at the age of twenty-one and is only forty years old now.

He was already very handsome with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. The luxurious life he had lived in these years made him look even younger. I'm afraid some people would believe that he was in his early thirties.

Your Majesty is polite, but there are still rules to follow.

Just as Jiang Xinian was pulling the little bell and preparing to kneel down to salute, he was stopped by Su Daocheng.

"Divine Doctor Jiang, please don't be so polite. Jingsheng, quickly support your master."

Hearing him speak, Su Jingsheng hurried forward and Jiang Xinian stood up.

Su Daocheng chuckled, "Divine Doctor Jiang, you have saved my family many times before. How could we possibly deserve such a great gift from you! From now on, I will allow the disciples of your Divine Doctor Sect to not kneel before the Holy Lord."

Jiang Xinian knew that he was serious, so he accepted the favor.

Xiao Lingling was behaving well and didn't say a word, but she was curious about what the emperor looked like, so she quietly peeked out from behind Jiang Xinian.

As a result, when she looked up, she made eye contact with the emperor. The little girl was so scared that she immediately retracted her head and dared not move.

The small ball was completely blocked by Jiang Xinian.

Her behavior made Su Daocheng laugh. In all the years he had been emperor, no one had ever dared to act so weird in front of him.

Even his children were the same. When they saw him, they were as nervous as if they had seen a tiger and were extremely restrained.

As time went by, he no longer had the expectation of having children and grandchildren around him.

Now, little Bell's lively and cute little actions made him feel soft-hearted.

"Divine Doctor Jiang, is this your little disciple?"

Jiang Xinian felt the tight grip of his clothes by Xiao Lingling and smiled helplessly, "Yes."

Su Daocheng smiled, "She's quite lively and cute. I think her name is Lin Ling?"

"Well, everyone in the family calls her Little Bell. She's a mischievous girl, and she's usually very naughty."
