Little Lingling could hear the kindness in the emperor's tone, and her heart settled. She then took a deep breath and stood out from behind her master.
She didn't know how to greet others in the palace, so she just imitated how her eldest brother did when he met their master. She clasped her hands together and bowed slightly to the emperor.
"Little Bell greets the Emperor."
Three-year-old Lingling stood in the huge imperial study. She looked very small and was not even as tall as Su Daocheng's desk.
Such a small baby is so adorable no matter how you look at it, especially the thick eyebrows and big eyes, with two flower-bud heads and the little butterflies on them trembling. It is really enough to melt Su Daocheng's heart.
He waved to the little bell and said, "Come here, let me take a look."
Xiao Lingdang turned her head to look at Jiang Xinian. Seeing him nod at her, she mustered up the courage to move closer.
Su Daocheng looked at the little cutie in front of him, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. He picked up the little guy and put him on his lap.
"Your name is Little Bell? Do you like the title I chose for you?"
title?
Xiao Lingling suddenly understood, "Are you talking about Jiayin? I like her, she's very nice. Master said that I will be a princess in the future, an official, and have money to earn."
When talking about getting money, Xiao Lingling smiled very happily, and you could tell at a glance that she was a money-grubber.
Su Daocheng was amused. "Oh, so Xiao Lingling really likes money?"
"Of course I like it. If I have money, I can buy a lot of delicious food. I can also buy gifts for my grandparents."
Xiao Lingling spoke frankly and sincerely. She was obviously greedy for money, but she was not disgusting at all, especially her pair of bright and innocent eyes. Just looking at them made people reluctant to hurt her.
Su Daocheng had also seen such eyes before. Thinking of Huan'er's current situation, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"Doctor Jiang, since you're here, I'm sure you've heard Jingsheng talk about Huan'er's condition. Huan'er has been in a coma for ten days now and has lost a lot of weight.
If it's convenient for you, how about we go to Fengqi Palace now?
Regardless of whether you can save her or not, it would be better to just confirm what kind of poison she was poisoned with than to be helpless like this."
Jiang Xinian patted the medicine box beside him and said, "It's convenient. We can go now."
Su Daocheng's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay, let's go now! Wang Chao, quickly prepare the sedan chair and go to Fengqi Palace immediately."
“Hey!”
Fengqi Palace is the palace where the queen lives. It is quite a distance away from the imperial study, so it would be faster to get there by sedan chair.
However, both Su Jingsheng and Jiang Xinian were sitting in relatively small sedan chairs that could only accommodate one person.
Xiao Lingling had no choice but to follow Su Daocheng and sit in a sedan chair.
The sedan chair is made of the finest mahogany and is covered with thick cushions, making it very soft to sit on.
Su Daocheng was afraid that she would fall, so he held her in his arms. This way she was high enough for him to look around.
Seeing that he was very friendly, Xiao Lingling gradually became familiar with him. As they walked, she pointed at the various palaces and flowers and plants on the side and asked questions non-stop.
Su Daocheng was unusually patient. He answered every question without showing any impatience.
Wang Chao, who was following the sedan chair, glanced at Xiao Lingdang's face secretly and remembered her appearance in his mind at a glance.
This is the person closest to the emperor besides the empress and the eldest prince. He will be blessed in the future and needs to be taken care of more.
It must be said that those who have been in the imperial court for a long time are all very smart...
The scenery in the harem at night is actually quite nice, with lights everywhere and the faint sound of cicadas and birds.
At Wang Chao's urging, the sedan chair soon arrived outside Fengqi Palace.
Because Su Daocheng had instructed, the gate of Fengqi Palace was closed and it was very quiet inside.
Wang Chao went forward and knocked on the door. After a while, the palace gate opened a crack. After the people inside saw who was coming, they hurriedly opened the palace gate.
"This servant greets the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
Su Daocheng got down from the sedan chair holding Xiao Lingling and stepped inside. "How is it? How is the Queen now?"
"Your Majesty, it's the same as always. I just gave the Empress a glass of water, but she only drank half of it at most."
The one who answered was Yuehua, the queen's personal maid.
The emperor sighed and looked back. Jiang Xinian and Su Jingsheng had already walked in quickly.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, I'm going to trouble you from now on!"
Jiang Xinian nodded and walked in carrying the medicine box.
Xiao Lingling also wanted to come over and patted Su Daocheng's shoulder, "Your Majesty, you can put me down now. I will go see the Empress too. I can also treat her."
Su Daocheng did not dare to underestimate her. After all, more people meant more hope at this time.
So he quickly carried her into the house and put her down.
The queen's bedroom was very spacious, with a maid and a nanny standing beside the bed.
The two of them probably hadn't had a good rest for a long time, and their faces were full of fatigue.
Jiang Xinian sat on a stool beside the bed, taking the queen's pulse through her handkerchief.
Seeing this, Xiao Lingling hurried over. Since she couldn't take the queen's pulse, she looked at her face.
You don't know until you see it. I was shocked. His face was pale and bloodless, his lips were dry and chapped, and he didn't sleep well. His eyebrows were tightly wrinkled.
But the strangest thing was not this, but that Xiao Lingling could vaguely see a strange red light from above the queen's head.
Something's wrong!
It's obvious that there is a villain at work!
Little Bell tentatively moved forward and touched the Queen's forehead.
This action scared the nanny beside her, "Miss, who are you?"
Little Bell waved her hands, "Shh, don't make a noise, I'm my master's apprentice, I'm just trying to touch it, don't be afraid."
The nanny didn't react for a moment, and it was Su Jingsheng who helped to explain.
After knowing that he was the apprentice of Dr. Jiang, the nanny finally felt relieved and stood quietly by.
Xiao Lingling raised her hand and touched the queen's forehead. The cold touch almost made her think that the person was dead.
Fortunately, she could still hear the faint sound of breathing, otherwise she would have been scared to death.
Su Daocheng was extremely anxious. After a while, when Jiang Xinian still hadn't spoken, he couldn't help but ask, "Divine Doctor Jiang, how is it? What happened to Huan'er?"
Jiang Xinian's expression was solemn, and he slowly withdrew his hand. "Jingsheng is right, the Queen is indeed not poisoned."
Su Daocheng's face lit up with joy, "Not poisoned? Does that mean she can wake up, right?"
Jiang Xinian sighed and shook his head, "I'm not that optimistic. If I'm not mistaken, the Queen must have been poisoned.
This is harder to cure than poison, and I'm not particularly good at it. Now, I can only give it a try."
