Chapter 224: Asking the Prince for a Female Doctor
Chapter 224: Asking the Prince for a Female Doctor
Concubine Li curled her lips in disdain, her eyes full of sarcasm, "The Prince of Qi was beaten half to death and hasn't woken up yet. What kind of skilled female doctor can there be in his Prince of Qi's mansion?"
However, when it comes to Luo Jingshen, Concubine Li sees hope again.
She felt that with Luo Jingshen's ability, there must be many skilled female doctors in the East Palace, and maybe this method would really work.
Concubine Li took out a token from her body and gave it to Jianlan.
"Then take my token and go to the East Palace in person!"
"Remember, when you see the prince, you should be respectful. Just ask for the female doctor, and don't say anything you shouldn't say."
Jianlan took the order and said, "Yes, I understand."
East Palace.
After Luo Jingshen returned, he was so angry that he smashed the vases and porcelain in the room to the floor.
He was furious and said, "I just went to the palace to watch the fun. What did I do wrong? Why did he punish me and make me copy some theory on governing the country?"
Emperor Jingyang asked Luo Jingshen to submit a hundred copies of Theory of State Governance within two days. For Luo Jingshen, who didn't like writing and couldn't sit still, it was undoubtedly like costing him half his life.
What’s scary is that after getting the things he was forced to copy as punishment, Emperor Jingyang would compare them word by word, article by article.
If he finds out that these words were not written by Luo Jingshen but by someone else, then what awaits him is more than just reading Theory of Governing a Country a hundred times!
Luo Jingshen had only written it twice, but he was already so angry that he wanted to curse and threw all the books and porcelain in the room to the ground.
He felt that he was very wronged. Even if someone wanted to copy this thing, it was not his turn to copy it.
But Emperor Jingyang didn't punish others but only punished him.
Just then, Linchuan, Luo Jingshen's personal guard, came in to report.
"Your Highness, there is a maid outside who claims to be from Concubine Li's side. She said she wants to see you for something urgent. Do you want to see her?"
Luo Jingshen was slightly startled. What did the maid beside Concubine Li want him to do?
For so long, he and Concubine Li didn't have much friendship.
The greatest friendship they had was that he spoke a few words for the other party in the Government Affairs Hall today.
Luo Jingshen couldn't help but think of Concubine Li's gentle eyes looking at him. His heart trembled and he couldn't tell what he felt at the moment.
His intuition told him that he should go meet Jianlan and see if there was anything urgent that the other party wanted to see him about.
But reason told Luo Jingshen that he could not go to see Jianlan, because Emperor Jingyang would be suspicious and would think that there was some shameful dealings between him and Concubine Li.
But Luo Jingshen was really curious about what the other party wanted to do with him.
He thought about it, and finally said to Linchuan: "Tell her to go to the Donglai Teahouse next door to wait for me. I will be there soon."
Linchuan knew that Luo Jingshen was a cautious person, so he nodded and turned to leave.
Donglai Teahouse.
When Luo Jingshen entered from the back door, Jianlan was already getting impatient.
Now Luo Qianxue is still waiting for the female doctor to come back and save her, but the prince asked her to wait for him in the teahouse.
This wait lasted for half an hour.
Jianlan wanted to leave but didn't dare to. At this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a blue figure walking towards her out of the corner of her eye.
After taking a closer look, who else could it be but Luo Jingshen?
Jianlan suppressed her emotions and quickly knelt down to salute.
"I am here to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I am Jian Lan, the senior maidservant of Concubine Li. I came here today on the orders of my queen. I want to borrow a female doctor from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come into the palace and treat my princess."
When Luo Jingshen heard this reason, a gleam of brilliance and confusion flashed across his dark eyes.
"The Tenth Princess is fine, why does she need a female doctor to treat her?"
It’s no wonder that Luo Jingshen was overthinking. When he was confronting Ji Yuntang in the government hall today, Luo Qianxue was still alive and kicking.
How come Luo Qianxue suddenly fell ill after only an hour and insisted on finding a female doctor? This is too unbelievable!
Jianlan pursed her lips and said slowly: "Your Highness, you may not know that our princess was severely injured by the Ninth Princess in the Yanshui Pavilion today, but the doctors in the Imperial Hospital are all men, so it is not convenient for them to treat her. There is really no other way, so my queen asked me to come to ask Your Highness for help."
"I beg Your Highness the Crown Prince to help the Tenth Princess."
Luo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, but he could see that the expression on Jianlan's face did not seem fake. The other party really found him because he had no other way out.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said calmly: "Forget it, we are brother and sister after all, so I will arrange for a female doctor to go to the palace with you to treat the Tenth Princess!"
Jianlan was instantly overjoyed and knelt down and said, "I, on behalf of the Tenth Princess, would like to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for saving my life."
On the other side, the Night King’s Palace.
Ji Yuntang was afraid that Luo Junhe would worry, so he asked Xie Liuzheng and Luo Sinian to go to the Night King's Mansion by carriage first.
She brought Taozhi with her, and went to the street with Luo Qingge, Linglan and others to buy the ingredients they would need later.
Ji Yuntang decided to make a barbecue for them today.
She went to the largest vegetable market in Beijing and bought more than a dozen ingredients including pork belly, beef, chicken wings, duck intestines, fish, shrimp, mushrooms, chicken gizzards, potatoes, leeks, okra, and pig's trotters.
Ji Yuntang walked around and found that there were very few vegetables in the market of this dynasty. There were no vegetables such as peppers, zucchini, eggplants, cucumbers, corn, and lettuce.
Fortunately, when Ji Yuntang had nothing to do, he had someone open up a large piece of land in the Night King's Mansion and started greenhouse planting.
She grew some uncommon vegetables in a greenhouse in the backyard.
Judging from the time, these vegetables are almost ripe now.
When they went back, the four of them each had a lot of things in their hands.
Ji Yuntang asked Chen Hu to take out the baking tray that he had customized earlier. This baking tray looked like a frying pan and any ingredients could be fried on it, and then charcoal fire could be placed underneath.
Put a piece of tin foil in the pan, brush it with oil, and then you can put the ingredients on it and grill them.
Grill the meat until both sides are golden brown, dip it in some sauce, and wrap it with lettuce. It is so delicious that you can bite it off with your tongue.
It was the first time that Luo Sinian saw this way of eating. He just took a bite and couldn't stop.
Luo Qingge gave Ji Yuntang a thumbs up and said, "Third sister-in-law, your cooking skills are amazing. If you open a shop outside, you will make a lot of money."
A casual remark of hers gave Xie Liuzheng great inspiration.
He looked at Ji Yuntang casually, "Princess Ye, how about we open a barbecue restaurant together?"
Ji Yuntang looked at Xie Liuzheng's nonchalant look and thought he was just joking.
After all, this guy has been a playboy for too long and doesn't look like a businessman at all.
Luo Qingge curled her lips and hit him mercilessly.
"Forget it. If you open a store, you will lose all your capital. My third sister-in-law doesn't have the time to play with a playboy like you."
