It was originally expected that it would take ten days to completely eliminate the cold poison, but unexpectedly it was delayed three days.
"My queen has been keeping her body warm for many years, and the speed of pulling out the cold poison has become much faster. The subsequent surgery will inevitably damage the qi and blood. It is better to schedule the operation for the day after tomorrow, so that my queen can do some conditioning.
Recovery after surgery is beneficial.”
Bai Ling was anxious to go home, but he still put the patients first.
Although one day can't improve her body much, it can help Concubine Xiao regain some strength.
"You have worked hard these past few days. Do you want to stay here and rest, or go back to your house?" Concubine Xiao said understandingly.
For many years, no imperial doctor could clear away the cold poison. Now that she was cured by Bai Ling, Concubine Xiao was grateful to Bai Ling.
"My sister-in-law has been in and out of the capital for a few days and has not returned. I am very worried about her. I just need to keep her warm with the imperial doctor's prescription. I will come over early in the morning and the surgery will not be delayed."
Bai Ling said without hesitation.
Afraid of being noticed as abnormal, Bai Ling didn't even dare to add Lingquan water to the bath water, feeling very frustrated.
"I will arrange for someone to take you back, and I will send someone to pick you up the next morning." Concubine Xiao gave a look, and she had a maid to arrange the relevant matters.
Although the treatment has not been completely completed, Concubine Xiao still ordered people to prepare many rewards.
In addition to some valuable accessories suitable for girls, there are also medicines to nourish the body.
No matter whether it is the emperor or the Xiao family, Concubine Xiao will not be short of money. It can even be said that she is the most expensive among the concubines.
"Ask the guards to take you back, and let them stay with you for the next two days." Xiao Mu said meaningfully as he sent Bai Ling out.
"Yes, I understand." Bai Ling pursed her lips.
Those who don't want Concubine Xiao to be favored will definitely do anything to protect her if they find out that she has left Zhuangzi. It would be better to have more people to protect her.
The location of the White House is not on the street where the official's residence is, so the sudden appearance of so many guards made people curious.
But the guards of the Xiao family can never find out the information easily, let alone Concubine Xiao.
"Second sister, are you tired? Do you want to go and rest first?" Bai Wei didn't go out today, so when she saw Bai Ling coming back, she naturally expressed some concern.
"I'll go back to the room and take a nap, and then I'll have lunch with you."
Bai Ling was indeed tired, so he leaned on Bai Wei's shoulder and said:
"You have received a lot of rewards today. Keep all the ones you like. It is thought that the second sister has prepared a dowry for you in advance. When you get married, the second sister will buy a property for you near your husband's house.
Fortunately, there are only four sisters in our family, otherwise I would really be worried about how to collect these good things."
"Second sister is about to get engaged. It's better to keep the good things for yourself. Myolie and I are still early, so there's no rush." Bai Wei said a little uncomfortably.
In this life, she is destined not to marry the person she likes, so should she still marry?
Bai Ling was indeed tired and didn't notice Bai Wei's abnormality, so he teased:
"Are you still early? My parents said they would give us freedom, but they won't let us keep dragging it out, which will also delay the marriages of my brothers and sisters below. While I am still completely free, I will prepare more for you.
Some. My sisters are all the best, and their dowry should be plentiful. Let others envy you."
Bai Ling yawned as he spoke. He was really tired.
After sending Bai Ling back to her room, Bai Wei sat alone on the porch, holding her chin in her hands and thinking about Bai Ling's words.
Parents are open-minded, but after all, they don’t just have one child, and they have to consider everyone.
And is it too selfish for her not to want to get married?
Bai Wei sat on the porch and thought about it all afternoon, while Bai Ling took a beautiful bath in the spiritual spring in the space and had a good sleep before leaving the house.
"Third sister, let's go see the eldest sister together tomorrow. I'm going to have an operation the day after tomorrow, so you can stay with the eldest sister for a few days. I'll feel more at ease."
Seeing Bai Wei in a daze, Bai Ling sat next to her and said:
"Before I come back, you and eldest sister had better not go out."
"But the patient's special status will bring danger to the second sister?" Bai Wei asked with a frown.
"It's a bit dangerous. The guards temporarily staying in the yard are responsible for ensuring that nothing happens to me before the operation."
Bai Ling picked out things that didn't need to be concealed, just to make Bai Wei be more cautious.
"But after the operation, it has nothing to do with me, and no one will cause trouble for me anymore. I have people protecting me for the time being, just because I'm afraid those people will take advantage of you and my eldest sister. This time, the noble person is the one we can't offend.
Come on, I'm going to cause you trouble again."
Bai Ling sighed.
Even if he could refuse, Bai Ling would not do it, which is against medical ethics.
But his family was worried, and Bai Ling was angry that his strength was not strong enough.
If we encounter such a patient again in the future, it will be difficult to guarantee that our family members will be safe every time.
"Can I go with my second sister?"
Bai Wei was silent for a while, and then she said:
"I'm not trying to pry, but I need someone to help my second sister during her surgery. But the girl we brought this time is not proficient."
"I forgot about this." Bai Ling slapped his forehead, speechless for his mistake.
Except for Mrs. Duan's time, Bai Ling has always been surrounded by girls who are good at suturing, so he didn't pay attention to his assistant.
"I will say hello to the guards and ask them to go over and ask."
Bai Ling stood up and said:
"Come on, let's go there together. Anyway, there's someone protecting you. I'll take you to listen to music in the evening. But we have to go to the village for a while. I'm sure you like it."
"Yeah." Bai Wei's eyes were bright, and she was very tempted by Bai Ling's proposal.
When Bai Wei lived in Fucheng for more than half a year, she often went to listen to books and occasionally operas. She really liked that kind of occasion.
The two sisters went to greet the guards while chatting and laughing, and simply didn't even have dinner at home.
I took my escort to a restaurant with singing, then went to a professional theater to sit in, and didn't go home until late at night.
"Second sister, the capital is really different from ours. The stories told by the storytellers are also different, and I was fascinated by them. And those little songs are easy to understand and are much more interesting than listening to big plays."
Bai Wei said enthusiastically.
"If you like it, I'll take you there to listen to it a few more times when I'm done with what I'm doing. But you can't go alone. You have to bring at least a few nurses with you, and you have to remember to disguise yourself." Bai Ling warned.
"I see, the capital city is not better than our home." Bai Wei didn't want to be talked about, so she opened her ears and said.
Bai Ling smiled slightly, not intending to tell Bai Wei that there were always people around them who wanted to take action, but they were not bold enough to assassinate her openly in the capital.
A princess from the countryside is nothing, but once the slightest clue is left, the Xiao family will never give up.
Concubine Xiao now trusts Bai Ling's medical skills. She said she needed an assistant and she brought her sister with her, so she agreed.
According to Bai Ling's request, Concubine Xiao had someone prepare a room with a good view as the operating room. Dozens of luminous pearls were placed in the room, so the light was definitely good enough.
Before the operation, Bai Ling asked to check the operating room, and of course Concubine Xiao had no objection.
"Empress, it's time to start." Bai Ling had already put on a white coat, and Bai Wei was also dressed in the same way, standing beside Bai Ling.
"Is it true that we can't go in and accompany him?" Mrs. Xiao asked.
"If Mrs. Xiao is sure that she will not vomit or even faint when she sees blood, let alone scream, she can go in and accompany her."
Bai Ling is really too lazy to pay attention to Mrs. Xiao and always wants to gain a sense of presence. (To be continued)
