Prime Minister Yin sighed and said: "If she dies, the emperor may not be able to bear the blow anymore. The most critical thing now is the emperor's condition."
"Well, Xiang Nan, go quickly and lead people to secretly search for Princess Dongling. You must not let the queen kill you first." Taifu Sima ordered his grandson.
"Yes!" Sima Xiangnan accepted the order and left. He originally wanted to leave the house directly, but he hesitated at the corner door of the corridor for a while and then returned to the guest room. Xiaozhu had already woken up and was leaning on the edge of the bed in tears.
"Miss Xiaozhu." He knocked on the door and walked into the room.
"Master Sima." Xiaozhu hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Don't move, I just came over to have a word with you." Sima Xiangnan said hurriedly. Xiaozhu looked at him and nodded.
"There is no need to say anything more. I understand your painstaking efforts. I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Dongling will also understand and consider you in the future. You must never do anything stupid again."
Xiaozhu nodded silently, tears falling down.
"I'm going to look for the princess. You should have a good rest." Sima Xiangnan said softly.
"I'll go too." Xiaozhu got up from the bed. Because he was too fast and weak from blood loss, his body staggered forward.
"Be careful!" Sima Xiangnan hugged her.
Xiaozhu's pale face suddenly turned red. She stood firm and lowered her head. Sima Xiangnan's handsome face also suddenly turned red. He touched his head and said, "Then I'll wait for you outside." Then he turned around and walked away in a hurry.
.
Xiaozhu looked at his back with a wry smile on her lips. When she was vulnerable, she had imagined an embrace countless times, but it was not him...
What came to her mind was the figure of the prince. She thought of him sitting in prison, with a beard on his face and eyes full of indifference and despair. Her heart ached so much that she didn't know what to do, and she just turned into tears.
After tidying up her clothes, she strode out of the guest room, said goodbye to the Taifu and Prime Minister Yin, and set out on the road to find the princess with Xiang Nan.
Luo Lianyi stayed at home in the hospital and had no idea that the streets and alleys of the imperial capital were covered with her portraits. If Liang's mother hadn't accidentally mentioned it that day, she would not have known that such a big thing had happened.
"Bing'er, the streets are full of people looking for the princess of Dongling. The person in the painting is so beautiful. Mom has lived for most of her life and has never seen such a beautiful girl." Liang's mother was doing this.
Needlework, he said to Luo Lianyi who was checking the medicine.
"Looking for Princess Dongling?" Luo Lianyi couldn't help but be startled. She quickly put down a pack of Angelica sinensis in her hand and ran out of the hospital. Sure enough, her portraits were plastered everywhere on the streets, and beside them were written huge bounties.
What happened? Logically speaking, it is impossible for Liu Fan to look for her in such a big way. Could it be that the fake death was exposed? So what is Liu Fan doing now? Has he been punished by his father?
She returned to the hospital anxiously and sat in a chair in a daze.
"Miss Liang, I'm here to give you an acupuncture." An old man wearing a brocade robe came in with the help of two servants, leaning on a cane. Outside, a luxurious carriage and dozens of servants were waiting in silence.
Luo Lianyi came to her senses and hurriedly helped him sit down in the inner room.
"Are you feeling better?" she asked softly.
"Much better, Miss Liang is really good at medical skills." The old man smiled and praised, "I also happened to pass by by chance and found out that your medical clinic has cured a long-standing illness in just a few days. Your medical skills are actually better than those of the imperial doctors in the palace.
powerful."
"You're flattered." Luo Lianyi smiled modestly, thinking about the old man's words and his outfit, guessing that he had some background.
"The old prince has been suffering from this stubborn cough for many years. The colder the weather, the worse it gets. He can't sleep well almost every night. It has been much quieter these past two nights," said the servant next to him.
When Luo Lianyi heard the servant call him Old Prince, she hurriedly clasped her fists and said, "It turns out that Old Prince has arrived. Bing'er is so lucky. Bing'er wants to say hello to Old Prince."
"Haha, Miss Liang is so polite. I am lucky enough to meet Miss Liang." The old prince laughed while stroking his beard. After speaking, his face darkened again. He looked at Luo Lianyi with some worry and said, "The emperor is ill now."
Seriously, I don’t know if the Emperor will agree if I go to the palace to recommend Miss Liang to diagnose the Emperor."
"The emperor is sick?" Luo Lianyi was surprised.
"The illness is serious, alas!" The old prince sighed heavily.
"Do you know what the symptoms are? Is it because of the cold weather?" Luo Lianyi asked tentatively while giving the old prince acupuncture.
"Maybe, I can't say much about some things in the palace. Miss Liang, can you come with me to the palace?" the old prince asked.
"Okay." Luo Lianyi agreed. After she tied the silver needle for the old prince, she said: "You sit down for a while, I will change my clothes. I think it will be more convenient for a woman to dress up as a man and enter the palace." Entering the palace, there are dangers inside.
Although she had changed her appearance, she was still afraid of being recognized. Women's medical practice was already rare, so disguising herself as a man should not arouse any suspicion.
After a while, she put on a long gown, tied her hair into a bun, and hid it in her crown, standing in front of the old prince like a handsome scholar.
"Very good, very good!" The old prince smiled and nodded, very satisfied with her dress. Luo Lianyi arranged her clothes for the consultation, and after guessing that the time was almost up, she took out the silver needle for the old prince and handed the needle to her.
Liang Ma went to use high-temperature steaming to sterilize it, and then after giving her a few words, she and the old prince left the hospital together.
When Ma Liang saw that her goddaughter was going to the palace with the prince to see a doctor, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do. After Luo Lianyi left, she bowed to the west and murmured: "Bless me, a lonely old woman, for giving me such a treasure."
, I don’t have to worry about taking care of myself anymore.” She happily entered the room, grinning so much that it reached behind her ears.
The old prince took Luo Lianyi into the palace and went straight to Ruoxi Palace in the harem. When he got outside the palace, he asked Luo Lianyi to wait outside. He went in first to explain to the emperor. Luo Lianyi nodded and stood quietly in the corridor.
The eunuchs, eunuchs, and maids who came and went looked at him curiously, but fortunately no one came to ask him anything.
She was a little nervous, wondering about the appearance of the emperor, and couldn't help but think of Qi Yu in Dongling. Would the Xiling emperor be more majestic and terrifying? He could not forget his dead concubine so much, and it seemed that he was a love-struck person.
For ancient emperors, they were really rare.
While she was thinking wildly, several people came over from the corridor. Luo Lianyi recognized that the leader was Eunuch Tong. She was so frightened that her heart beat wildly. Eunuch Tong quickly came to her side, stopped and looked her up and down doubtfully, and asked
Said: "Who are you? Why are you standing here?"
Luo Lianyi forced herself to remain calm and bowed, but she didn't answer him. She was afraid that Eunuch Tong would recognize her voice if she spoke.
"A mute?" Eunuch Tong stared at her.
Fortunately, the old prince came out of Ruoxi Palace. He coughed, and Eunuch Tong turned around and bowed to greet him.
