Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 557 Seek medical advice

Within a few days, Li Ling personally welcomed Dr. Zhang from Chaozhou back. Although the old man was now over seventy years old, he was still in good spirits. Chunni was also with him. It was Li Ling who went to Chaozhou with Jingshu back then. At that time, I rescued the little girl who sold herself to treat her mother's illness.

Jingshu managed to get up today. Doctor Zhang and Chunni were about to salute her when she was stopped by Jingshu: "Sir, you have cured my illness before, but now I have to trouble you again."

Since the empress refused to accept the gift, the old man had no intention of persisting and without saying much, he ordered his apprentice to take out the medical box and check Jingshu's pulse.

As soon as Divine Doctor Zhang raised his hand, Li Ling, who was standing aside, asked anxiously: "What is the Queen's illness like? Has it been diagnosed?"

The old man Dr. Zhang himself has a hard temper, but he doesn't like people with the same hard temper. He was able to travel thousands of miles to treat Jing Shu because of Jiang Youchen's face.

Jiang Youchen is gentle and elegant, and this old man likes young people like that.

As soon as Li Ling finished speaking, the old man's face darkened. He put a smile on his face and said in a gentle tone: "Sir, you have had a hard journey."

The old man didn't care that the other party was now a ninety-five-year-old emperor, and replied with a cold face: "Your Majesty the Labor Party will personally greet you. How dare I say it's hard work?"

Li Ling smiled awkwardly and couldn't help but ask: "May I ask, sir, how is my wife's illness?"

Seeing Li Ling's humble attitude, the old man softened his expression, stroked his beard, and said: "It's not easy to draw a conclusion now. I'd like to make a prescription and then take a look."

 After saying that, he refused to say more. Li Ling had no choice but to order the palace servants to take the old man to the palace that had been arranged to rest.

After the people left, Li Ling helped Jing Shu go to the inner hall to rest. He said with a sullen face, "This old man's temper has not changed at all."

Jing Shu laughed: "Although this old gentleman has a weird temper, his medical skills are really good."

Hearing this, Li Ling softened his expression and said, "If he can really cure your illness, I am willing to spend everything I have to repay him."

"Don't say such things." Jingshu raised her hand to cover her husband's mouth and said sternly: "You are the emperor, how can you speak without restraint."

Jingshu was supported by Li Ling and lay down on the soft couch. However, after getting up and taking only two steps, she felt that all her strength had been exhausted. Jingshu looked at Li Ling and insisted feebly: "Life and death are determined by destiny." , If my illness cannot be cured, you must not blame the doctor. Even if I leave you one day, you must cheer up. You are not only my own husband, you are the lord of the world."

Li Ling turned his head when he heard the words and forced himself to hold back the tears in his eyes. He gently placed his wife on the soft pillow and lay down: "Don't say anything. You have worked for so long. You are already tired and you need to rest." Just leave it alone.”

Jingshu nodded in agreement and lay meekly on the couch. Li Ling held her hand, put it on her lips and kissed it, saying: "We said that we want to grow old together, and I will never allow you to leave me behind." .”

 The winter solstice is here in a blink of an eye, and it is a day for wealthy families to reunite with their families.

Because Xie was pregnant, she did not invite anyone else. She only ordered people to invite Pingyang and Pei Yunqian to the mansion.

Since the government also had a family reunion dinner in the evening, Xie's banquet was arranged at noon so as not to delay the reunion dinner at Li Xiang's family in Pingyang.

Pingyang took into consideration that his brother and sister-in-law were spending the holidays alone, so he brought the three children over.

Mrs. Xie was happy and the banquet was arranged very sumptuously. Seeing that his wife was in a good mood, Zhao Xuan said, "Today is a day for family reunion. Why don't we call Ayu over too? She is lonely celebrating the festival alone. There are so many of us and it is so lively." some."

Mrs. Xie was pouring wine for Pingyang enthusiastically. When she heard this, her face immediately darkened. She rolled her eyes at Zhao Xuan and replied coldly: "Although she is not at home, the rules cannot be broken. Meng is just a side room, like this How can we show up in such an occasion." Zhao Xuan replied nonchalantly: "My sister-in-law and cousin are not outsiders." He just finished speaking, glanced at the knife handed by his wife, and hurriedly swallowed back the unspoken words, haha He smiled and said: "Okay, you are the mistress, you just make the arrangements."

Mrs. Xie glanced at Zhao Xuan, and then said to the maid beside her: "Pass me to the small kitchen to add two more dishes for the concubine today, and say that it is a festival today, and it is my grace."

The maid took the order and left. Li Xiang glanced at Mrs. Xie secretly, smacked his mouth, and Pingyang, who was sitting next to him, kicked him secretly under the table as a signal.

Li Xiang leaned into Pingyang’s ear and said, “Sister-in-law is really amazing.”

Pingyang rolled his eyes at him and said secretly: "Stop talking."

As soon as Li Xiang closed his mouth, Mr. Xie looked over and asked with a smile: "Cousin, what are you and Pingyang whispering about?"

 “Are you arranging me?”

Princess Fuxi and Xie's mother are sisters, so Xie and Li Xiang are also double parents. From Zhao Xuan's side, they are sister-in-law and brother-in-law. From Xie's natal side, they are cousins. Siblings.

 How Xie calls Li Xiang depends on the situation.

For a joke like this, it is naturally more appropriate to call me cousin.

Li Xiang has always been afraid of this powerful cousin. Hearing this, he hurriedly replied: "How dare I arrange my cousin? My cousin thinks too much. I think too much."

Xie smiled and replied in a joking tone: "I thought you were complaining about others."

Xie's words reminded Li Xiang of the last time he came to pick up Pingyang. Zhao Xuan was scolded by Xie for bringing Meng to welcome guests. He hurriedly replied: "How could that happen? Besides, my cousin is always fair. You There is nothing unfair in this house."

 Xie glanced at Li Xiang's embarrassed thoughts and couldn't help covering her mouth in amusement.

Pingyang glared at Mrs. Xie angrily and said, "My husband is an honest man. Sister-in-law, please don't bully others."

Xie said angrily: "This is really the water a married daughter throws at her husband." After saying that, she looked at Zhao Xuan and said with a smile: "Husband, don't you think so?"

Zhao Xuan laughed and replied: "All women in the world are like this, and you are the same."

Xie smiled at Zhao Xuan and asked, "My cousin said that I am the most fair. Do you agree?"

Zhao Xuan smiled and agreed: "I agree, my cousin is right. You are in charge of this house, so I have never worried about it."

Pingyang glared at his brother and sister-in-law, and interrupted: "Okay, okay, you invited us to a reunion banquet. It's really boring to show off your affection here endlessly."

Mr. Xie finally stopped and changed the topic. He glanced at Pei Yunqian who was sitting silently aside, and then asked Pingyang: "How are you looking for cousin Pei's marriage? But it was agreed before It’s time to decide, it’s almost the end of the new year.”
