Jiang Lili came into the village empty-handed, but left with gifts from the villagers.
Mrs. Yang, the wife of Marquis Zhaoping, has been eating and sleeping well these days. She now looks refreshed and is able to move freely.
On the way, Jiang Lili and the deputy monitor agreed on the timing and then delivered the painting prepared by Xin Che.
The deputy monitor said that Emperor Qingning did not allow anyone to visit Concubine Ying. Jiang Lili was a little curious about how the deputy monitor got the things in.
This time, they did not encounter any accidents along the way, but walking on foot was not as fast as riding a horse. It was not until the afternoon of the sixth day that the exile team arrived at Linzhou City.
The yamen runners' colds gradually improved, and their attitude towards Jiang Lili became more respectful. After all, they still had some distance to go to Haizhou, and there were many unknown poisonous weeds and insects in the Qinglin Mountains. Who could guarantee that they would not get sick?
The yamen runners were fine, but Yang Yunzhao felt that her body was getting heavier and heavier, and she started coughing and having a runny nose. However, she couldn't bring herself to ask Jiang Lili for medicine, and she didn't dare to get medicine for herself, so she just put it aside.
By the time she reached the city gate, she had already started to have a fever and was just hoping to get to the post station as soon as possible. After all, once she got to Linzhou City, she would have someone acquaintance of Yang's father to take care of her and her condition would be much better.
This time, the guards guarding the city gate of Linzhou City have been replaced. When the guard in charge of the inspection saw Jiang Lili, he exchanged glances with Jiang Lili, and then he rode away from the city gate.
When Jiang Lili entered the city, she also noticed that the entrance was divided into two lanes, one for civilians and one for commercial merchants, which made it convenient for vendors transporting goods to enter the city quickly.
She knew that Li Sicong's power was growing stronger and stronger, and that Li Xiaoguan was really powerful.
Wang Zifu handed over the documents to the people from the yamen, and informed them of the difficulties encountered on the way and explained why they arrived only now.
The government was accustomed to unexpected delays in the exile procession. As long as the names of the exiles matched and no one was missing, it was fine.
"With the recent change of seasons, the weather is unpredictable. You must be careful when crossing the Qinglin Mountains."
In accordance with past practice, the government office distributed the herbs, sachets and other items needed to cross the Qinglin Mountains to the exile team, and also gave some additional instructions.
The government did not completely ignore the lives of the exiles. One of the important meanings of exile was to allow the exiles to develop and utilize the territories in remote areas and avoid waste.
After completing the handover procedures, Wang Zifu led the fugitives to the post station arranged by the government office.
The exile team attracted a lot of onlookers. At this moment, a carriage came towards them and suddenly blocked the way of the exile team.
Just as Wang Zifu was about to scold, he saw Li Sicong get out of the car and look into the exile team.
He immediately smiled and said, "Master, are you looking for someone?"
Li Sicong said solemnly, "Your colds have healed so quickly. Could it be that Miss Jiang I met in the village before?"
Wang Zifu immediately pointed at Jiang Lili and said, "That's the girl. She's a very kind and skilled woman!"
He guessed that Mr. Li might want to seek medical treatment. If Jiang Lili could help Mr. Li, could they also benefit from it?
Li Sicong rushed to Jiang Lili and said, "Divine doctor, please save my father!"
Jiang Lili was not surprised by Li Sicong's act of pretending to be unfamiliar, as they had already discussed this matter before.
Jiang Lili put her hands behind her back and started pretending, "Young man, you told me about your father's illness when you were in Langyan Village. It's not that I won't treat him, but there's no cure for asthma."
Li Sicong still refused to give up: "I heard you mentioned that you could prescribe a medicine that could save lives in the event of an asthma attack."
Jiang Lili looked embarrassed. "Young man, I can indeed make the medicine you mentioned. However, making it would require a lot of money and energy. It's a bit too much for me. I'm just a fugitive now."
"As long as it can ease my father's pain, I'd be willing to work like a slave for you!"
Li Sicong immediately knelt down in front of Jiang Lili and bowed deeply to her: "If you are unwilling to help me, I will kneel here forever!"
"Please have mercy, young lady!"
Li Sicong spoke with conviction, his eyes twinkling: "I've been stupid for so many years, causing trouble to my family. I feel indebted to him. I want to be filial to my father as much as possible and repay his kindness in raising me!"
"They say men don't cry easily, but when I think about how this asthma could kill me at any moment, I feel like a knife is cutting my heart."
Jiang Lili's expression was a little bit off. No, this guy was too immersed in the role, right?
Li Sicong looked like a filial son, which moved passers-by.
"God knows how filial this young master Li is. To get medicine for Lord Li, he even kowtowed to a fugitive."
"That's right. Young Master Li was stupid for 20 years. After enlightenment, he not only became extremely intelligent, but I heard that he also helped Master Li solve a major case the other day and saved the lives of the villagers."
"Master Li has truly given birth to a wonderful son!"
The people passing by praised Li Sicong's filial piety.
The second son of the Li family, who had been paying close attention to his brother's movements in recent days, soon heard about what happened on the street. He hurried back home to report to his father. It was really embarrassing that his eldest brother actually knelt down in the street to beg a fugitive!
At this time, Jiang Lili looked moved by Li Sicong's sincere filial piety. She said, "I am now a fugitive and have no choice. You should negotiate with the detained Chief Wang."
"Captain Wang, could you lend me someone to take a look at my father?"
Li Sicong patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I will be fully responsible for the consequences."
Of course Wang Zifu nodded in agreement, as he could do the prefect's son a favor!
"Thank you, Chief Wang, for your leniency! You and your brothers must be tired from the long journey. How about I go to my Fengdeng Restaurant for a good meal before staying at our Laifu Inn?"
Wang Zifu was overjoyed: "Mr. Li, you are so polite. I would like to thank you on behalf of my brothers."
As a result, Jiang Lili naturally became the guest of honor in Li's mansion, and as the family of the "miracle doctor" Jiang Lili, the people from Zhaoping Marquis's mansion were also arranged to stay at Li Sicong's Lai Fu Inn, and they no longer had to spend the night in a post station with simple conditions.
On the way to Li's house, Jiang Lili asked Xiaopang to deliver the various asthma medicines that the squad leader had prepared earlier.
Just as he entered the Li Mansion, the housekeeper came over in a panic to inform Li Sicong: "The eldest master is not well, the master is sick again."
Li Sicong frowned: "Why did it suddenly happen? Lead the way quickly!"
