Chapter 428 Return
Yes! Jiang Shaohua now has Nanyang County as her base, and her influence covers the entire Jingzhou. Pingzhou has fallen into her hands, and her reputation in the northern states and counties is high. In the court, she has the support of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and high-ranking officials such as Dong Shilang and Yang Shilang are cheering her on. She is not easy to provoke.

Zheng Chen's eyes were dark and uncertain, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Duke Anguo felt inexplicably uneasy and warned again: "Zixian, I know you admire the princess and have a grudge in your heart, but you must not be affected by this personal relationship. The Zheng family will be handed over to you sooner or later, you must be calm and rational, and not be rash and impulsive, and do something that you will regret later."

Zheng Chen replied calmly: "Don't worry, father! I won't do anything that I will regret."

Because he will never regret it.

Duke Anguo didn't understand the deep meaning behind his words, and he breathed a sigh of relief, saying with a smile, "No matter what, we have the upper hand in the matter of the Pingzhou governor. Prime Minister Wang lost his wife and his troops, and he is in a very embarrassing state."

"By the way, I heard that you've been close to the Prince of Gaoliang recently. Don't underestimate him. There are no real fools in the Jiang clan."

The silly second prince is an exception.

Zheng Chen nodded in agreement.

……

As the twelfth lunar month began, the weather became colder day by day. Imperial Doctor Sun and his sons finally returned to Nanyang County.

When the familiar plaque of the Nanyang Palace came into view, Sun Guangbai was so excited that he almost cried: "I have been away for more than a year, and I am finally back."

Doctor Sun also sighed: "After leaving, I realized how good Nanyang County is."

Sun Guangbai stretched his neck to look outside and excitedly grabbed his father's arm: "Father, the princess came to greet us in person."

Doctor Sun sat calmly: "You and I have performed great deeds, and we deserve the princess's kindness."

Sun Guangbai thought to himself, "Dad, you are too fake. You are obviously very happy in your heart, but you pretend to be happy on the surface and you don't even feel tired."

The carriage stopped, Sun Guangbai got off first, and then helped Doctor Sun get off. The father and son walked forward quickly and bowed to the princess.

"Quickly, no need to be polite." Jiang Shaohua smiled and extended his hand to support him, his tone very kind: "Dr. Sun went to Pingzhou this time and cured the plague in Pingzhou, which was a great achievement. The court rewarded Dr. Sun with two promotions, and Dr. Sun was also promoted two levels. This princess will also reward him handsomely."

"What does Doctor Sun want? Just tell me."

Doctor Sun, with the demeanor of a great doctor, replied calmly, "I have only done my duty, and I do not deserve the princess's praise."

Sun Guangbai was much more direct: "Princess, my father compiled a medical book, and his greatest wish is to spread this medical book throughout the world."

Imperial Physician Sun does not love gold and silver, and has little interest in promotion. What he really wants is to be known as a miracle doctor.

It is not difficult to publish medical books, but it is difficult to spread them. If Dr. Sun were to rely on himself, at most he would have to spend all his family wealth to print the medical books. If he wanted to spread the medical books to all the prefectures and counties in Daliang, he would have to rely on the influence of the county lord.

Jiang Shaohua smiled and said, "Okay, this princess will definitely make Dr. Sun's wish come true."

The princess keeps her promise.

Doctor Sun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed to thank the princess for her kindness. The group followed the princess into the main hall of the palace and said goodbye.

Jiang Shaohua looked at Doctor Sun carefully and sighed softly, "Doctor Sun has lost a lot of weight."

Doctor Sun used to be fair and plump, but now he is much thinner, haggard and older. It can be seen how much Doctor Sun has spent on himself in the past year.

Doctor Sun also sighed: "It was only after I went to Pingzhou that I realized how difficult it was for the people. Fortunately, I fulfilled my mission and developed a prescription to treat the plague. Now when I think about it, I am a little scared." Sun Guangbai took over the conversation: "Isn't it? My father lived in the epidemic area for half a year. I was terrified every day, afraid of hearing any bad news. It was not until the newly developed prescription cured several seriously ill people that I breathed a sigh of relief."

Jiang Shaohua asked about the situation in Pingzhou.

Doctor Sun treated patients and researched prescriptions all day long. Sun Guangbai and Lu Cong often dealt with each other and praised Lu Cong: "To be honest, Commander Qin and I were in charge of distributing medicine and setting up the porridge stall, and it was a bit chaotic. After Lu Sheren came, everything was in order and the people believed in him."

"With him in Pingzhou, Princess, just relax."

Jiang Shaohua's eyes flashed with a smile: "Lu Sheren is smart and capable. He used to have bad luck in his career. After a few years of experience, he has become more calm and careful in his actions. With him in charge of Pingzhou, this princess is really relieved."

Doctor Sun didn't say anything, but Sun Guangbai couldn't help but say something: "The court sent a governor to Pingzhou. Governor Huang had an accident, and there is also Governor Tan."

Jiang Shaohua pulled the corner of his mouth and said leisurely: "Governor Huang has a short life and little luck. Governor Tan doesn't seem to be very lucky either. He fell off his horse and broke his leg two days after leaving the capital. He will have to recuperate for at least a year or so. No one can say when he can go to Pingzhou to take up his post."

Once an accident happens, there may be a second or third time.

Since the governor of Pingzhou could not take office, Lu Cong had to take charge of Pingzhou on his behalf.

Sun Guangbai wanted to say something else, but Doctor Sun coughed and stopped his son with a look: "Rest in the palace for two days, then go back to the Royal Guard Camp."

Only then did Sun Guangbai shut up.

……

Two days later, Sun Guangbai led Lin Huiniang and others back to the Royal Guard Camp.

The brother and sister were reunited and were so excited and happy that there is no need to go into details.

Sun Zelan suddenly felt a little sad: "This time in Pingzhou, many of our personal guards were killed. Tao Niang and Wan Niang also left."

Tao Niang died on the way, Wan Niang died in Pingzhou. Six disciples left, but only four returned.

Speaking of this, Sun Guangbai felt very sad: "I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of them."

Sun Zelan turned her head to the side, cried for a while, and wiped her tears: "This is not your fault. It's just that the two of them were unlucky. Fortunately, Hui Niang, Shan Xing and the other four all came back safely."

Sun Guangbai was silent for a moment, and suddenly whispered: "Sister, I have something to tell you."

Sun Zelan was very perceptive. He looked up at his brother and said, "Why? Have you thought it through? Do you want to marry Shanxing?"

Sun Guangbai: "..."

Sun Guangbai was rarely shy. His handsome face flushed and he rubbed his hands together, hesitating for a long time.

Sun Zelan deliberately teased him: "I said what I was thinking, didn't I? Didn't you say before that Shan Xing was too young, and she's half your female disciple, so you shouldn't have any other thoughts? Now that you've been to Pingzhou, why have you changed your mind?"

Sun Guangbai scratched his head and admitted honestly: "I went to Pingzhou once and I was really touched."

"Don't worry if you laugh at me, I have buried more dead bodies in Pingzhou than I have seen living people in my life."

"Life is far more fragile than you and I imagine. You never know when you will close your eyes and leave."

"So, while you are alive, you should cherish the people around you and live well."
