King of Song

Chapter 206 Chapter [-]

The eldest princess of the Chu State is in a very serious condition and has reached a critical point. The Empress Dowager Cao and the Zhaojie Dowager Miao are very anxious.

But the imperial doctors in the palace seemed helpless, on the one hand, they were not skilled in medicine.The more important reason was that the princess was in a gloomy mood and at the same time rejected the imperial physician, so the medical treatment was not effective at all, which had always worried the two ancestors.

But now, there is a person with better medical skills, and she is also a woman, not only convenient for daily treatment.And since they are both women, they can still communicate with each other, which might help the princess soothe her mood, and at least give her a companion.

The most important thing is that the two ancestors learned from the servants that their daughters did not reject this Chai Minyan, and they appreciated it very much and were grateful.Furthermore, the girls of the Chai family seem to be sure that they can cure the princess' illness, which gives them hope.

Seeing their daughter getting thinner and sinking day by day, and being tortured by the disease, the two old ancestors were really worried!
Cao didn't dare to delay, and immediately sent someone to investigate, and learned that Chai Minyan had indeed learned medical skills from a famous doctor in Luoyang.In addition, Chai's family background is clean and noble, and Chai Minyan is famous for his elegant appearance, gentleness and virtuousness, so he can be used with confidence.

"Finally, there is a turning point, so you can relax!" Cao comforted her good sisters softly. Now they can be regarded as dependent on each other, accompanying each other, and the true sisterhood is deep.

The Miao family said: "Xin'er died a long time ago, and only Fukang is left. If there are any troubles, I really don't know..." Zhao Xin, the second son of Renzong, was also born to the Miao family, but unfortunately died prematurely, so he will All the love is transferred to the daughter, and the daughter is especially cherished!Sometimes she feels that God is unfair to her daughter. Her marriage is already very unfortunate, so why is her body suffering so much?

Mrs. Cao sighed softly, sympathizing with Mrs. Miao very much, but she still couldn't empathize with her.After all, she has nothing to do by herself, so she can't understand the pain of loss!The only thing that made her hurt was that child. She had placed high hopes on it, but in the end...

Although it has been many years, Cao still can't help but feel heartbroken every time he thinks about it!Brother Cao Yi mentioned it several times. For the sake of the overall situation, she said that she didn't care, but she really missed it in her heart!
"Don't worry, the girls from the Chai family may have a way!" Cao's family is full of hope for this, God will not be so cruel, and won't take away their only one left!

So a Yi decree was sent to the Chai Mansion by the Wuzhang River, and Chai Minyan was announced to go to the Qingshou Palace to have an audience.

Hearing the news suddenly, everyone in the Chai family was quite worried, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse.Chai Xiao and Chai Yong were very surprised, how could their (nephew) daughter attract the attention of the Empress Dowager?
They guessed that their daughter was born beautiful and famous, and she happened to be at the age of marriage, which inevitably made people more suspicious and worried.

Fortunately, Chai Ruona explained in time that it was because her younger sister saved the eldest princess of Chu, and it must be the Empress Dowager who wanted to express her gratitude.

Only then did the Chai family feel a little relieved. Chai Minyan didn't take it seriously at first, but he didn't want the empress dowager to make it so grand, so he felt a little embarrassed.

Early the next morning, Chai Minyan came to the Qingshou Palace to meet him!No matter what happens, it is a great honor to be summoned by the Empress Dowager, and it must be cherished!
"My daughter pays homage to the Empress Dowager!" Chai Minyan was born in an aristocratic family, so he was naturally familiar with court etiquette, and behaved dignifiedly when meeting the two old ancestors.

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly when she saw this graceful woman in front of her. She was so beautiful that she deserved the title of the most beautiful woman in Bianjing.

"Free gift!"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!"

"Thank you for saving my son at Jinmingchi the day before yesterday, thank you very much!"

Chai Minyan immediately understood that the old lady next to the Empress Dowager was the noble concubine Zhaojie Miao, the birth mother of the eldest princess of Chu.

"The empress and concubine are serious. These are the things that should be done." Chai Minyan bowed to signal, not daring to take credit.

"Very good, very kind child!"

The Empress Dowager Cao asked again: "I heard that your medical skills are good?"

Chai Minyan smiled lightly, and said shyly, "It's just that I have studied with my teacher for a few days and know some medical science and pharmacy!"

"A humble person would say that!" Miao smiled lightly, becoming more and more confident.

"The emperor and the concubine are amazing!" Chai Minyan was very modest and cautious in front of these two ancestors.

Cao asked: "In your opinion, how is the princess' condition?"

"This……"

"It's okay, let's tell the truth!" Cao Shi sighed softly, already mentally prepared.

Chai Min said: "Princess has internal stagnation and is weak. If she doesn't get treated in time, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it won't be long before... the point where the oil will run out!"

"Ah?" Although she was mentally prepared, Miao couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

"Can it be cured?" Cao's expression suddenly became more solemn, just like Miao's, his eyes were full of anticipation.

Chai Min said: "If you can calm the princess' mood and cooperate with the medicine stone, there is still a chance."

Hearing this answer, the two ancestors felt relieved and asked, "Are you willing to heal the princess?"

"Me? Thanks to the love of the Empress Dowager, but the little girl's medical skills are shallow, I'm afraid..." Chai Minyan was a little surprised by this.

"You don't have to be modest, you know how good your medical skills are." Cao Shi said, "You don't have to worry about anything else. We know how the princess's condition is. Even if it's...even if it's anything, we won't blame you. .”

Treating important members of the royal family is risky. There are many examples in history of imperial doctors who failed to save lives and were buried with their anger.The identity of the Chai family was sensitive and special, so Chai Minyan had to be cautious, and he was not relieved until the empress dowager made such a promise.

The doctor's parents thought that she was a caring and kind woman, and she couldn't do things that she refused to save.What's more, she really sympathized with what happened to the princess.

"My daughter is willing to try her best!" Chai Minyan finally agreed, but to be sure, there is still a lot of pressure, so she can only do her best.

Empress Dowager Cao nodded lightly: "Okay, you will live in the palace during this time, and concentrate on treating the princess!"

"Yes, but..." Chai Minyan said softly: "However, I have a request from my servant, can I go home first before entering the palace?"

"Why? I'm afraid that the family members are not at ease?" Miao said, "It's okay, I will send someone to say hello, and I can also bring your parents and family members into the palace to meet..." She was worried about her daughter's condition, so she was a little bit thinking A little bit selfish.

"No...it's something else..." Chai Minyan hesitated, a slight blush appeared on his face, and he didn't know how to explain it.

"Oh?" Mrs. Cao is someone who has been there and is good at observing. Seeing Chai Minyan's expression and thinking about her age, she vaguely guessed something in her heart.Said: "Well, then you go out of the palace, but don't delay too long, you also know about the princess' condition!"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for saving the words!" Seeing the happy look on the corner of Chai Minyan's mouth, Cao Shi confirmed her thoughts even more.

"By the way, is that Lin Zhao your friend?" The Empress Dowager asked casually!
Chai Minyan suddenly asked such a question, his face was a little unnatural for a moment, and he said softly: "I have some friendship with my brother..."

Is it just that?The Empress Dowager heard about what happened by Jinming Pond.Especially Lin Zhao's elegant "Magpie Bridge Immortal", when he thinks of something at the same time, he can immediately understand it.

"It's a pity, I wanted to thank you in person, but I didn't want the emperor to let him go on an envoy, so I can only talk about it when I come back!" Madam Cao sighed softly, her eyes fell on Chai Minyan, as if she had already guessed that this little beauty was in a hurry to go out of the palace to do it. what.

"Thank him for me, and wish him a smooth mission!" Mrs. Cao said with a smile.

"Okay, ah..." Chai Minyan responded before suddenly reacting. Unfortunately, it was too late, and a lot of information was exposed unintentionally, and his pretty face suddenly turned red...

On the contrary, the two ancestors smiled at each other, very happy...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The aunt left Chai Minyan in the palace?" Zhao Hao was a little surprised when he heard the news!

"That's right, I heard that the daughter of the Chai family was asked to treat the eldest princess of Chu!" A confidant said: "At Jinmingchi, the eldest princess fainted a few days ago, and it was Chai Minyan who rescued her!"

Zhao Hao thought to himself, if he is treating his aunt, it means that Chai Minyan will live in the palace permanently, doesn't it mean that he has more opportunities?Besides, this can be regarded as fate, she just saved my aunt when she fainted, could it be God's will?

Zhao Hao figured that in the future, he should go to the Qingshou Palace to pay his respects to the imperial grandmother from time to time!When the time is right and the emperor's grandmother and aunt both start to like Chai Minyan, some things will come to fruition, hehe!
"I heard that Lin Zhao was the one who rescued Princess Dachang at Jinming Pond that night!"

"Lin Zhao?" As soon as this name was mentioned, Zhao Hao gritted his teeth in hatred!

"I heard that the officials sent him to Tibet as an envoy!"

"Hmph, let him be arrogant, let's talk about it when we come back!" Zhao Hao's expression was extremely ferocious, and the hatred in his eyes lingered for a long time!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the ninth day of July, Emperor Zhao Xu issued an edict, and Lin Zhao was transferred to be a doctor of the Ministry of Rites.

Lin Zhaoyin has become the fastest promoted young official in the Song Dynasty and has become the focus of attention.Quite a few people have already noticed that Lin Zhao has come out of the turmoil of the Qingmiao Law, and his face is still radiant and beautiful.

Later, the emperor announced that Lin Zhao would lead a mission to Hehuang Tubo.

When the news got out, there were different opinions. Some people said that Lin Zhao was summoned because of the officials' need.But more people feel that being able to be entrusted with such an important task is completely a rhythm of reuse.

Because it is already autumn, the weather in the Hehuang area has begun to turn cold. If you don't start in time, the northwest will be extremely cold in winter, and the roads will be difficult and inconvenient.

So once it is confirmed, the itinerary is relatively compact and slightly hasty.

But fortunately, the mission had already prepared for departure, and the application schedule was already arranged, but the time to say goodbye to relatives and friends was a little rushed.

Lin Zhao had stayed in Bianjing for less than a month, and was about to leave in a hurry. The atmosphere in Jiangnanju was inevitably a little gloomy.Especially Mu Sihong, since she married Lin Zhao, they haven't been separated for a long time at all.But this time, I'm afraid there will be a lot of differences...

Parting is sad, and finally there is such a day.Mu Sihong knew that as her husband's official career continued to advance, there would be more and more business assignments abroad, this was just the beginning, and in the future there would be a painful parting.At certain times, Mu Sihong was finally able to feel the feelings of those resentful wives who miss the king.

Mu Sihong understood all these principles, but still couldn't help the tears in the corners of her eyes, sobbing: "These are some cotton clothes, all of which are prepared for my husband. I heard that the weather in the northwest is cold, and my husband will definitely need them."

"Well, there is also this, fur knee pads, which can keep you warm when your husband is riding a horse..." Mu Sihong was busy back and forth, afraid of forgetting something, and dutifully wanted to get everything ready.

Seeing this, Lin Zhao said, "Okay, that's enough, it's only a few months, don't worry, wait here obediently for me to come back."

"En!" Mu Sihong responded, and when she saw her husband's eyes full of care and tenderness, she couldn't bear the sadness of parting anymore, and tears burst out of her eyes.

Lin Zhao took his concubine into his arms, hugged her tightly, and comforted him, "It's okay, don't worry, just wait for me to come back."

"Hmm!" Mu Sihong choked up and said, "Lang Lang is going, be careful and take good care of him. Your husband belongs to my concubine, and my concubine is waiting for her husband in Bianjing."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen!" Lin Zhao felt that it was just a trip to Qingtang City.Hehuang Tubo can be regarded as a subsidiary of the Song Dynasty anyway, and has a good relationship with the Song Dynasty, so the degree of danger should not be high.

"Hmm!" Mu Sihong's eyes were red, and she gently wiped the tears from her cheeks.At this time, someone came to report, and the Chai Ruona brothers and sisters came.

"Brother Ruona, Miss Minyan, why are you here!" Lin Zhao hurried out to say hello, and as they got to know each other better, he made an effort to call Chai Minyan by name.

Chai Ruona smiled and said, "I heard that you are going to Tibet as an envoy, so I came here to see you off."

Mu Sihong had already wiped away the tears from her eyes, and walked out, when she happened to hear it, her heart moved.Her daughter's intuition told her that this Miss Chai was definitely interested in her husband.

Chai Minyan was a little shy, and said: "I was entrusted by the Empress Dowager, firstly to thank you, and secondly to wish Mr. Lin a successful mission!" Mrs. Cao's words gave her an excellent excuse , otherwise how could it appear here?It's really embarrassing!
"The Empress Dowager?"

"Because we rescued Princess Dachang in Jinmingchi the day before yesterday, the Empress Dowager called me into the palace to treat her!" Chai Minyan explained: "The Empress Dowager also summoned you, but you have a mission , so let me convey it for you!"

Even if Mrs. Cao conveyed her thanks, why did Chai Minyan convey her gratitude?Lin Zhao had an idea, and took the opportunity to ask: "Is this just the empress dowager's intention? Is there still a girl with your blessing?"

Chai Minyan smiled sweetly and said, "Minyan also hopes that your son will have a smooth journey and success!"
