Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

 Doctor Zhang hit it off immediately when he met Jiang Youchen. He chatted enthusiastically with him while drinking tea. Jiang Youchen kept Li Ling's entrustment in mind and asked the old man about Jingshu's condition in detail.

Because the old gentleman still wanted to study the cure for Jingshu, Jiang Youchen did not dare to take up more of the old gentleman's time. When he heard what he wanted to know, he stood up and said goodbye, saying only: "I'll see you another day."

Shenjiang Doctor Zhang stood up and escorted Jiang Youchen out of the hall.

Li Ling knew that Jiang Youchen was coming to see Mr. Zhang today, and he couldn't control his anxiety. Ever since Jiang Youchen entered the doctor Zhang's bedroom, he had been standing outside waiting eagerly.

From a distance, Li Ling saw Jiang Youchen finally come out. The weird old man not only greeted him warmly, but also had a loving look on his face when facing Jiang Youchen. Li Ling sighed slightly and subconsciously touched his face.

Although Jiang Youchen was handsome, Li Ling felt that he was no worse than him. However, the old man just didn't want to see him, which made Li Ling feel depressed.

But the depression in Li Ling's heart dissipated in just a moment. When he saw Jiang Youchen coming out, he hurriedly greeted him.

Jiang Youchen didn't expect Li Ling to be so impatient. When he arrived, he bowed slightly and relayed the words of the miracle doctor to Li Ling in detail.

"Although the old gentleman has not yet made a conclusion, he can be preliminarily determined to be a cold disease."

Hearing this, Li Ling frowned and asked: "The doctors at the imperial hospital also said that this was a cold syndrome, but after taking the right medicine, it was not cured."

Jiang Youchen replied: "Your Majesty's illness is not an ordinary cold syndrome. Mr. Zhang said that the cold air in your body is still left in your body after taking Wang's poison. The cold syndrome has not been eliminated. Over the years, it has accumulated into dampness and coldness, and the dampness and coldness are counterproductive. , I was infected with wind and cold in winter and relapsed."

"My wife's illness is a bit complicated. Mr. Zhang didn't go into too much detail, so he just gave a rough explanation."

When Li Ling heard that the cause of the disease was the long-dead Wang family, a stern look appeared on his face, and he asked, "Mr. Zhang, how sure is he of curing this disease?"

"Sir, he is studying it. This disease will come on gradually, and there is no rush. He said that he will consider the treatment after the empress has finished eating these few prescriptions."

Seeing the worried look on Li Ling's face, Jiang Youchen said with relief: "Since this miracle doctor has agreed to treat the empress, he must be sure of it. According to Weichen's understanding of this old gentleman, if he is not sure, he will never stay. Your Majesty, just relax."

Li Ling's expression softened a little and he said, "His disciple said the same thing."

 “Achen, thank you.” He said sincerely.

Today I will take a rest and have a rest.

After asking about his wife's condition, Li Ling felt relieved. He said goodbye to Jiang Youchen and hurried back to his wife's bedroom.

After entering the palace, Li Ling was surprised to see the palace attendants bringing things for washing, "The queen is awake?"

Danzhu smiled and replied: "My queen woke up early today and seems to be in good spirits."

Li Ling felt happy when he heard this, but he did not rush into the inner hall. Instead, he walked to the bi stove to warm up the cold air he had just brought back from outside, and then he stepped in.

Jingshu had already washed herself and was leaning on the soft couch, being served by Ziyun. Li Ling stepped forward with a smile, looked at his wife and asked with concern: "How do you feel today?"

Although Jingshu's face was still haggard, her eyes were gleaming. She looked at her husband, smiled slightly, and replied, "I feel lighter. When I wake up early in the morning, my mind is not so muddled anymore."

Li Ling heard that his wife was happy, a smile appeared on his face, he raised his hand and took the horn comb from Ziyun's hand, stood behind his wife, and carefully smoothed her hair.

When the emperor and the empress were alone, Ziyun quietly retreated and closed the palace door.

Li Ling was doing his wife's hair and talking at the same time.

"This old gentleman does have some skills. After taking these trial medicines, I see that your illness has really improved." Jingshu asked: "I heard that you invited your cousin here yesterday?"

“As the saying goes, you should not trust anyone. Since we have invited Mr. Zhang here, we just trust him. He doesn’t want to talk about my illness, so why do you bother to dig into the problem?”

"It's not that I don't believe him." Li Ling stroked his wife's hair carefully and replied, "This old man has such a bad temper that he is impatient if I ask him a question."

 “I’m worried.”

After saying that, he put down the comb, supported his wife on the soft pillow, and sat down in front of her. Li Ling looked at his wife and said helplessly: "I don't know what's going on. I'm already respectful enough to the old gentleman." , but he just didn’t want to see me. I asked him about your illness, and within a few words, he became impatient. When he saw me, he had a cold face, but today he was warm to Ah Chen. Very clearly, tell Ah Chen everything about your situation."

Jingshu asked: "What did he say? What's going on with my illness?"

Li Ling's eyes moved slightly and he relayed Jiang Youchen's words to his wife, only omitting the root cause of the disease caused by Wang's poisoning.

What happened that year had a great impact on Jingshu. Li Ling didn't want his wife to know about it and make her sad.

After talking for a while, Jingshu urged Li Ling again: "Go and do your work. Although you won't go to court today, you have a lot to do, so don't delay here with me."

Who doesn’t want to have a loved one by his side when he is sick? Jingshu is no exception, but her husband is an emperor.

 He is the Lord of the world, not hers alone.

"I just want to take a day off today." After saying that, Li Ling took off his clothes and raised his legs to get on the warm couch: "Those things will never be finished. Since I became the emperor, I have really little time to spend with you."

Jingshu smiled and said: "As the saying goes, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. As an emperor, how can you be as affectionate as those who have free time to have children?"

Li Ling put his arms around his wife and said, "Then I will only be your husband today, and I will only talk to you about our long-term love for our children."

“Shu’er, when you get better, I want to take you out for a walk.”

Jingshu lay in Li Ling's arms and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I want to take you to see all the famous mountains, rivers, peaks and rivers." Li Ling lowered his eyes and looked at his wife, regretting: "Actually, I have wanted to take you out for a long time. We have been married for so many years, except for that trip to Chaozhou. , we haven’t traveled far together yet.”

He added: "Now that the country is prosperous and powerful, when I take care of those vassal kings, there will be no more troublesome issues."

Jingshu raised her eyes and looked at her husband: "Are you really determined to withdraw from the vassal state?"

Li Ling replied: "Concentrating power can eliminate hidden dangers."

"Speaking of it, Prince Yong of Yizhou is quite aware of current affairs. Yesterday, Prince Yong's crown prince actually went to court and proposed to abolish the guard army, increase the tribute, and send the prince's descendants into the palace."

Jingshu thought for a while and replied: "It's great that Prince Yong can take the lead. If other vassal princes can follow suit, it will save you a lot of trouble."

"It's just that I think the elimination of the guards and the increase in tribute are enough to show sincerity. As for sending hostages into the palace, it is not necessary."

Li Ling replied: "I have made a decree and approved the request of Prince Yong's palace. I only rejected the idea of ​​sending a hostage into the palace."

She looked at her wife with tenderness in her eyes: "This can be regarded as a favor to them for taking the lead in showing sincerity. If the other vassal princes cannot do what Prince Yong's Palace does, then I will not be so polite."
