Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 553 Good Omen

The couple talked for a while. Li Ling was worried that his wife would be tired, so he asked her to lie down and rest. He sat in the hall, accompanying his wife and reviewing the memorials.

Jingshu gradually fell asleep. After Li Ling finished reviewing the day's memorials, he sat by the bed and looked at his wife quietly.

 His wife's illness never improved, which made Li Ling anxious. He never showed sadness in front of his wife, but when he was waiting for her quietly, the corners of his eyes gradually became moist.

Li Ling stayed with his wife in the inner hall for a long time. It was not until Ling Xiao came in to invite him that he got up and quietly asked Ling Xiao what was going on.

Ling Xiao lowered his voice and replied: "Your Majesty, the goose you saved a while ago is now alive."

After hearing this, Li Ling left the inner hall and strode into the side hall. As expected, he saw that the female goose placed in the grass nest had woken up and was leaning over to peck at food while dragging her injured leg. The male geese were surrounding her. The mother goose flapped her wings happily and screamed "Quack".

Li Dequan was squatting on the ground feeding the pair of geese. When he saw Li Ling, he knelt down and saluted, shouting: "Your Majesty, look, you have really saved these geese. Haha, this is really a good omen." "

Li Ling is not a careless person. The reason why he was moved by the pair of wild geese is because a man like Li Dequan does not know the emperor's thoughts.

"Your Majesty, this female goose was seriously injured and frozen. Now she is getting better. Look, she is in good spirits."

 “What a good omen, what a good omen!”

Li Dequan’s mouth was full of smiles.

A smile appeared on Li Ling's face. He took the rice box from Li Dequan's hand, bent down and stared at the pair of geese, scattered the rice grains to them bit by bit, and then asked Li Dequan: "Is there any news from Liang Jin? "

Li Dequan replied: "The people sent back by Mr. Liang last night said that Mr. Liang and the others have not yet found the miracle doctor in Chaozhou. They heard that the miracle doctor went to the south to travel around. Mr. Liang has already led people to look for him."

 Li Ling nodded and said, "As soon as you have any news, get back to me immediately."

Li Dequan quickly agreed. Li Ling stood up and said, "Tell them to take good care of the geese." Then he left the side hall and went to the main hall.

As soon as Li Ling stepped into the outer hall, he heard chattering from the inner hall. He hurriedly opened the door and saw his children rushing over and talking around his wife.

Li Ling entered the inner hall, looked at his children, and said, "Why are you here again?"

Brother Xuan replied respectfully: "I have finished all the homework left by Mr. Shang Shufang. After all, I miss my mother, so I came to visit."

Li Ling nodded slightly, then looked at his daughter and asked, "Have you finished your homework?"

Sister Bao immediately pouted and replied, "May I ask if your father has finished handling the political affairs today?"

Jingshu laughed and said angrily to her daughter, "Why are you talking to your father?"

Sister Bao flattened her lips and replied: "My father always asks us to do this. Didn't he rush over after leaving the court and leaving a bunch of political affairs?"

“My father is only allowed to accompany the queen. If we come to stay with the queen for a while, he will drive us away. I am really unconvinced.”

Li Ling looked at his daughter, smiled, and replied: "I was worried that you would disturb your mother while she was resting, so why wouldn't you be allowed to accompany her?"

Ji'er, who was hiding beside Jingshu, saw her father talking about her brothers and sisters, and glanced at him again, and quickly replied: "Father, I am still young. My brothers and sisters are coming, so I can only follow them."

Li Ling smiled and picked up the young son, kissed his cheek, and asked softly: "Did Ji'er feel cold during this journey?"

Seeing that his father had no intention of blaming him, Ji'er immediately showed a smile on his face and said, "It's not cold. The charcoal fire in the carriage was burning brightly. My grandma even gave me a hand warmer to keep the baby warm on the way." It's warm and not cold at all." Li Ling was always worried that the children would make noise and affect his wife's recuperation. He allowed the children to stay with Jingshu for a while, and then asked the palace officials to take them down for a meal, while he continued He stayed with his wife in the inner sanctum and chatted.

“Do you still remember the miracle doctor named Zhang from Chaozhou?”

Jingshu replied: "Of course I remember. If he hadn't cured my illness, how could I have enjoyed the joy of being a mother?"

Li Ling smiled and said: "The old man does have some abilities, but he is a little bad."

 “It’s so out of tune.”

Jingshu leaned on the soft pillow, looked at her husband after hearing the words, and asked: "You sent to Chaozhou to look for him? But you failed again?"

Li Ling sighed slightly and replied: "No, I heard that he went to Yunyou again."

As he said that, he looked at his wife and deliberately teased her: "You are already 70 or 80 years old, and you still think about traveling all day long. Isn't it out of character?"

"I will find him now and punish him for his crime."

Jingshu knew that Li Ling was joking, so she smiled and replied: "I am a free man and not your subject. Why should you restrict your freedom?"

Li Ling deliberately made a serious face and replied: "It is the duty of a doctor to treat diseases and save people. This old man does not do his duty and only thinks about having fun all day long. He is not guilty."

The couple were joking here. Li Dequan hurried in and replied happily to Li Ling: "Your Majesty, Mr. Liang just came back from flying pigeons to deliver a message, saying that he had found the miracle doctor and was taking him to the capital."

As soon as Li Ling heard this, he stood up immediately with surprise and asked anxiously: "Can you tell me when we can arrive in Beijing?"

“It is said that we will arrive in the capital in five or six days.” As he said this, Li Dequan handed over the urgent message from Liang Jin Feige with both hands.

Li Ling took the letter and opened it to read. He frowned and said, "It still needs seven or eight days."

 “I want to go to Japan to support you.”

Li Dequan looked troubled when he heard this. He glanced at Li Ling's face and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the court must not be without a king for a day."

Hearing the words, Jing Shu said slowly: "Since we have found the person, he will arrive in a few days. Even if you go to meet him, it will still be the same."

“There are many things going on in the court, so you’d better not go.”

Li Ling was still immersed in the joy of finally finding a miracle doctor. He walked to his wife and said excitedly: "I'll just ask the people in the cabinet to take care of me for a few days."

"You don't know that old man has a very stubborn temper. I'm worried that Liang Jin won't be able to suppress him, so I'll go and meet him so that he can hurry up and get to Beijing as soon as possible."

Jing Shu looked at her impatient husband and persuaded her softly: "The miracle doctor is already old, so how can he move quickly? Mr. Liang has always been prudent, and he will make appropriate arrangements according to the situation. You can just wait in the capital with peace of mind." ”

"This old man has been in the capital for over seventy years. I wonder if he is confused or if his medical skills are still there?" Li Ling anxiously walked around the hall, feeling happy at one moment and worried at the other.

 Finally, he said decisively: "No, I'd better go and greet him."
