An Lingrong's Rebirth: The Lock of Qingqiu

So, the operation was performed immediately. Manager Xiao and his men killed a donkey and took out its lungs in another side room, while An Lingrong opened the patient's stomach. After cutting out the sieve-like lungs, Manager Xiao quickly brought in the donkey's lungs from the back door. Although the donkey lungs to be replaced had a fierce smell of animal blood, at this time, the Xiao clan leader had already fallen into a coma due to An Lingrong's acupuncture.

As expected, the operation was quite successful. When Patriarch Xiao was carried out and was able to breathe steadily and speak to everyone, all the family members of the Xiao family members knelt on the ground, worshiping An Lingrong and hailing her as a miracle doctor.

The next day, Patriarch Xiao came like a normal person, with a dozen men in black, and brought a big box. When they opened it, they saw that it was all silver, which was specifically given to An Lingrong. An Lingrong felt relieved now, because she would accompany the emperor on a tour of the south of the Yangtze River, which would take half a year, no, even a whole year, and she would not be able to spend all this silver.

An Lingrong had no choice but to accept the silver. When the emperor returned to his residence and saw such a large box of silver, he asked An Lingrong to resign from Tongjitang. He took An Lingrong to the south of the Yangtze River, not to practice medicine and help people, but to travel around. After traveling, he had to return to the Forbidden City to attend court!

But An Lingrong began to worry. The three-month probation period had not yet ended, and only two months had passed when these two incidents happened. She had saved up enough money, so she promised the emperor that she would first talk to Xiao, the manager of Tongjitang.

The emperor said, "Rong'er, I think you shouldn't go to Tongji Hall and tell them. If you tell them directly, think about it, can you still leave?"

An Lingrong frowned and said, "But, Fourth Master, this is not my style! I have to be accountable for what I do."

Xia Qian also came over to persuade her, "Your Highness, this Tongji Hall is only for the purpose of collecting money. Your Highness is very popular now. If you go back to Tongji Hall to resign at this time, they will definitely not agree. Your Highness does not have to leave without saying goodbye. You can write a handwritten letter and slip it through the door of Tongji Hall. This way it will not be considered impolite."

The hesitant An Lingrong followed the advice of the emperor and Xia Qian. The next morning, she quietly stuffed the resignation letter she had written last night into the unopened gate of Tongji Hall, and then slipped back home from the side of the path.

In the morning, when Xiao, the manager of Tongjitang, came to open the door, he found a letter on the ground. The huge characters made him slightly stunned. He picked it up and saw that the handwriting was very beautiful. It was Doctor An's handwriting. What happened? What happened? Couldn't she tell him in person? Why did she write a letter? Xiao opened the letter and looked at it for a few seconds. His face suddenly changed. He said in a lost voice, Doctor An is leaving. Many patients who came yesterday are still looking for Doctor An. This is not easy to report!

Manager Xiao left the hospital full of patients and doctors and hurried to An Lingrong's address with his nephew Xiao Wen. Unexpectedly, the address An Lingrong left was not her real address. For safety reasons, she made up an address at random. Manager Xiao walked around Yangliu Lake several times but couldn't find the place. Manager Xiao saw that it was getting late, so he took Xiao Wen back to Tongjitang. Naturally, he felt resentful towards An Lingrong. She did a good job, but just left after getting the money. How could there be such a person in the world!

An Lingrong saw from afar that Manager Xiao and Xiao Wen were wandering around her. She didn't dare to open the door. The emperor did not take Xia Qian to go fishing. The three of them began to pack up in the house. As soon as Manager Xiao and Xiao Wen left, An Lingrong, the emperor, and Xia Qian took the silver and found the way they came. They found the flower boat, boarded the boat, and continued their days of sightseeing.

However, at this time, Wu Lanyi, who was still pregnant, and her husband were also walking by the Yangliu River. They noticed a flower boat not far in the center of the lake. When An Lingrong got on the flower boat, she happened to see it. Before she could say anything, An Lingrong urged Xia Qian to start rowing.

"Doctor An, Doctor An, where are you going?" Wu Lanyi started running after the flower boat. Her husband reacted at this time and ran forward to hold Wu Lanyi down, saying, "Madam, you are still pregnant. You can't run so fast."

Wu Lanyi said anxiously: "But, the baby in my belly hasn't been born safely yet, and Doctor An is leaving. Where is she going?"

Wu Lanyi's voice was so loud that it attracted many people nearby to watch the fun. The news soon spread back to Tongji Hall. Manager Xiao came with his men and watched the flower boat gradually moving out. Although the speed was not particularly fast, An Lingrong poked her head out of the window of the flower boat and waved to Wu Lanyi and Manager Xiao.

An Lingrong said loudly, "Madam Wu, the baby in your belly is fine. I have checked it for you. The fetal position is correct. Take good care of the baby until the birth, and everything will go smoothly."

Wu Lanyi shouted, "Doctor An, you can't leave. Where are you going?"

Manager Xiao and his men ran along the shore chasing the flower boat, shouting, "Doctor An, please stop. I have something to tell you, Doctor An."

At this time, Xia Qian saw that more and more people led by Manager Xiao were running along, blocking the road on the shore. There were so many people and it was very chaotic and unsafe.

At this time, a fat man of medium height emerged from the crowd and said, "How dare you not kneel when you see the Emperor and Concubine Li!"

After this person shouted, Manager Xiao's eyes were blank, he knelt on the ground and said, "Master Zhang, I deserve to die. I didn't even know that Doctor An was our Imperial Concubine Li. I really didn't know the real thing. I am so lucky to see the Emperor and Imperial Concubine Li in person!"

Xia Qi was stern and didn't say a word, but his hands moved faster.

Manager Xiao's eyes lit up as he said, "It is a great honor for Tongjitang to have the Emperor and Concubine Li come to guide our work in person! Tongjitang is so lucky! I never thought that Concubine Li would be so good at medicine throughout her life. The Qing Dynasty is blessed, and the people are blessed! Long live the Emperor, and long live Concubine Li."

Wu Lanyi was also surprised and delighted and said, "My husband, I didn't expect that the one who treated us was Concubine Li from the capital. Our child is so lucky!"

"Lan Yi, if our child is born, we should give him a name with the word 'En' in the middle to express our gratitude to her."

"Uncle Xiao, please don't kneel anymore. The flower boat is nowhere to be seen." Xiao Wen helped Manager Xiao up and brushed the dust off his body.

"I heard from Zhang Xunfu that Concubine Li's real name was An Lingrong. From now on, Tongjitang should be renamed Tongrongtang! It can be regarded as a small respect for Concubine Li. Alas, Concubine Li was a master of medicine. It is such a pity that she is gone! I should have been more careful. I overlooked her because of her coarse cloth clothes. I was really too careless!" Manager Xiao sighed at the loss of such a talented person.

The Emperor held An Lingrong's hand in the flower boat and said, "Rong'er's influence is not shallow. Whenever she passes by a place, the people will chase her and won't let her go."

An Lingrong looked up at the emperor and said, "It's all thanks to your majesty that you have been recognized."

The Emperor nodded and said, "This is the man who bought our fish and crabs at the market."

Xia Qian laughed and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, did you hear just now? Tongjitang said that it will be renamed Tongrongtang in the future. Your Majesty is really going to be famous now."
