Chapter 306 Doctor Ma is going to the border to be a military doctor
"Your Highness, you call me a servant?" Qiuyue came in immediately and saluted.
Zhao Lingmeng quickly ordered, "Go to the front yard and ask Doctor Ma to come over. I have something to ask him, and hurry."
Qiuyue also knew what was going on. She responded and immediately bowed and left. Once out of the yard, she ran to the front yard without caring about her image.
When Zhao Lingmeng and the two children were almost done with breakfast, Qiuyue arrived with the breathless Dr. Ma.
Before Doctor Ma even entered the room, Zhao Lingmeng heard his voice: "Who's sick?"
When Doctor Ma came in and saw Zhao Lingmeng still eating breakfast, he immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness, I am honored to meet you!"
Seeing this, Zhao Lingmeng quickly stood up to stop him. In fact, she had great respect for Dr. Ma, who was skilled in medicine. "Alright, we're already so familiar with each other, there's no need for so many formalities. I really don't care about these things."
"Old man, I just mean it for your own good." After making the joke, Doctor Ma pretended to be arrogant and pulled his beard.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't expose the old man and just smiled.
"Your Highness, why did you call me here? Who's sick? Or is someone injured again?" Doctor Ma's eyes lit up when he mentioned injuries. Last time he treated that big fool, he saw a lot of good medicinal herbs. Now he loves to treat injuries.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the enthusiastic Doctor Ma and shook her head helplessly. "No one is sick, and no one is injured. I called you here to ask, since you are such a skilled doctor, do you want to go to the front lines and use your expertise?"
Doctor Ma was quite puzzled by His Highness's proposal. "The front line? It's quite peaceful over there! The military doctors in their army should be able to handle the minor incidents. Could it be that Your Highness is going to the border?"
"I'm not going, but there's fighting on the border. Anding and Anyang have fallen, and the people of both cities have died for their country. I'm thinking of your medical skills, so I'd like to ask if you want to go. If you do, I'll have my second brother, Zhao Anwei, take you. If you don't want to, that's fine, I'll just ask."
Doctor Ma had been sitting there nonchalantly, but the more he listened, the more serious his expression became, and he sat up straighter and straighter. "Did Long Lingguo do this? Those indifferent beasts. Your Highness, I'll leave. You can make the arrangements!"
Zhao Lingmeng was surprised at how quickly Doctor Ma made the decision. "You have to think clearly. Even if you follow my second brother, if a fight breaks out, no one can guarantee your safety."
"You know, old man, I'm already this old. Saving one more life is a profit. I just feel sorry for those innocent people. But if I'm gone, there will be no doctor in the mansion. What will I do if something happens in the mansion?"
Doctor Ma really likes staying in the princess's mansion. It gives him a sense of freedom. He doesn't want to become a hero and come back only to find his old nest gone.
Zhao Lingmeng also knew that Doctor Ma was worried about her, so she carefully explained his doubts: "Don't worry! I plan to live in a farm outside the city. The emperor and I asked Feng Shan and Imperial Physician Feng to come with us. I will stay in the vicinity of Yuanjing and will not go anywhere. Nothing will happen."
Doctor Ma was relieved to hear that Zhao Lingmeng had already made arrangements. He really wanted to go to the battlefield. He wanted to see what those beasts in Longling Country looked like. He was almost pissed off.
Doctor Ma didn't know if he could return safely this time, but he still had to say: "Then Your Highness will wait for the old man to come back as a hero who saved people. When the time comes, Your Highness must ask the kitchen to prepare a good meal for the old man."
"Okay, I'll personally decide the menu then. Take any herbs you like from my warehouse! They'll just gather dust in my warehouse, and I'll be happy if they can help others."
"Thank you, Your Highness. The old man has gone down to clean up." After Doctor Ma finished speaking, without waiting for Zhao Lingmeng to say anything else, he immediately carried the medicine box and walked out with his hands behind his back.
Zhao Lingmeng stared at Doctor Ma's back for a long time and suddenly felt a little regretful. She was worried that Doctor Ma would not come back.
"Auntie, don't worry, Doctor Ma will be back."
"I'll definitely come back." Zhao Houyang's voice became hoarse as he spoke. He suddenly felt very sad. He was not a real child. He knew clearly that this incident would cause many people to die.
Zhao Lingmeng was silent for a while before he whispered, "Let's go! It's time for us to leave the city." After Zhao Lingmeng finished speaking, he stood up, straightened his sleeves, and walked out first.
Zhao Houyang and Yang Chengchen immediately followed Zhao Lingmeng and walked towards where the carriage was parked in the mansion.
When Zhao Lingmeng arrived with Zhao Houyang and Yang Chengchen, Qiuhua had already instructed people to pack all the necessary things, and was now directing people to check them.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at the busy Qiuhua and reminded her again, "Qiuhua, I may be away for a long time this time, so I'll leave the affairs of the mansion to you. You have to help me take care of the princess's mansion when you're at home.
If the two young masters come back during the journey, just write to me. If anyone bullies the people in the Princess's Mansion, don't be afraid, remember to send me a message. As long as you are right, I will support you. "
"Yes, I have remembered it. Your Highness can rest assured!" Although Qiuhua had never known what Zhao Lingmeng did specifically, she was not stupid. Her Highness must be doing something important, otherwise she would not have the status of the eldest princess now.
As a servant, she also understood that there were no such things as pie in the sky in the world. She only had to take care of the princess's mansion.
Zhao Lingmeng was very pleased to see Qiuhua agree. Qiuhua didn't like running around, so when she went to the farm or somewhere else, she would take the initiative to stay at the manor to take care of things. Zhao Lingmeng still remembered this kindness of hers.
"With you in the mansion, I feel at ease wherever I go." After Zhao Lingmeng finished praising, he took the initiative to pat Qiuhua's hand.
"With your words, Your Highness, I am motivated to do anything. Your Highness, please get on the carriage quickly! It will be bad if we are delayed in leaving the city." Qiuhua smiled and joked as she helped Zhao Lingmeng get on the carriage.
Zhao Lingmeng smiled and nodded, thinking to herself that the people her mother had found for her were exactly what she wanted. Zhao Lingmeng couldn't help but admire the discernment of these wives of the aristocratic families.
After Zhao Houyang and Yang Chengchen boarded the carriage, Zhao Lingmeng ordered the driver to set off, heading out of the city with the first wave of people to open the city gate.
When Princess Funing's carriage was traveling on the empty streets, it also met many adults who were attending the morning court.
Zhao Lingmeng didn't care about their greetings, nor did he order the carriage to stop to say hello. He went straight towards the city gate.
