"Your Majesty didn't mention anything else?" Tang Ling was specially summoned just to play chess?

Tang Ling shook her head: "Your Majesty didn't say anything.

Maybe he originally planned to say something to me, but it's inconvenient in front of the fifteenth princess. "

Qi Xiao couldn't help laughing: "We should thank Fifteen for his willfulness."

"I would like to know what your majesty means.

Instead of us bothering to speculate, it would be easier to deal with it if His Majesty had something to say. "

Having said that, based on Tang Ling's understanding of His Majesty, he would not say anything in person, and would not even make a decision easily. For marriage, Princess Fifteen would not come to Chengming Hall by herself.

"If the decree is really made, there is no room for maneuver."

Tang Ling couldn't help laughing: "Because of me, did you mess up?"

Qi Xiao put his head down on Tang Ling's shoulder, and sighed lightly: "Mmm..." Because of his own powerlessness, he could only be afraid.

Tang Ling stroked Qi Xiao's shoulder lightly, and found that he suddenly looked like a child with his head drooping, which was distressing and very cute.

I'm afraid it's not only because of His Majesty's unfathomable intentions, but also that Qi Xiao would not show such fatigue and depression during the marriage. It should be that noble Lin's situation is not good.

"Is Mrs. Lin feeling better today?"

Qi Xiao sighed silently. He had never seen anyone as sharp as Tang Ling, who seemed to be able to see through everything immediately. He hugged Tang Ling for a while, calmed down, and pulled him together: "Take you to see your mother."

"Will it be inconvenient today? After all, you have just moved to the West Palace, so let noble Lin take a good rest?"

"Are you shy now?" Qi Xiao saw that Tang Ling's ears were red, so he teased him, "Mother has asked twice, when will I see you, and I can't avoid it."

When the two walked through the corridor and were about to step into the inner courtyard, Tang Ling suddenly stopped in her tracks: "Let me go first."

Qi Xiao glanced down at the clasped hands of the two: "It's okay."

"This is not Yangxi Zhai, nor Huaxi Bieyuan."

"You are willing to let me lead you when you walk on the street on Mid-Autumn Festival."

Tang Ling pursed her lips: "It's better to avoid it."

"……it is good."

Qi Xiao let go of Tang Ling, and the next moment he leaned forward and quickly kissed Tang Ling on the cheek, then led Tang Ling into the inner courtyard with a normal expression.

Tang Ling raised her hand and gently brushed the place where Qi Xiao had kissed, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

As soon as she entered the inner courtyard, Tang Ling saw Qing Lan and another person standing outside the house arguing about something, their voices were not loud, but Qing Lan's impatience was definitely not chatting.

"what happened?"

Qing Lan was so angry that Fang Yuan sentenced him to pull his beard. When he saw Qi Xiao coming, he hurriedly saluted: "Meet Your Highness Ninth Prince."

"There is no need to be courteous in the Fang Yuan's judgment.

what happened?Still can't decide on the prescription? "

Qing Lan opened her mouth to call Tang Ling, but when she met Tang Ling's gaze, she suppressed it, and changed her mouth to greet Qi Xiao first: "My Highness King Chu."

"Exemption.

Qing Lan, let me tell you the truth. "

"Returning to Your Highness, Your Majesty's illness has been accumulated over the years, and the disease of deficiency and cold is only a superficial symptom. To slowly recuperate, it is necessary to warm and nourish the inner palace and dredge the meridians."

"I remember that the Fang Yuan's sentence also meant the same thing, and it needs to be rectified slowly."

Fang Yuan judge nodded: "Not bad."

"What's the problem then?"

"The prescriptions judged by the Fangyuan are all expensive nourishing things, but the empress is not tonic. Those things will only increase the burden on the empress's body, and ginseng and donkey-hide gelatin are both hot in nature, although they can suppress the empress's body cold for a while. Symptoms, but they treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.”

"Nonsense! You have only read medical books for a few years, how dare you speak such nonsense in front of His Highness Ninth Prince?!"

"You stubborn old man! I'm not talking nonsense! Your mother's qi and blood are out of balance, and her internal organs are dysfunctional. If you make up for it, it will only make the disease worse!"

"Qing Lan."

Tang Ling called Qing Lan to stop.

"...Master..." Qing Lan looked at Tang Ling's face, curled her lips, and turned her head to bow to Fang Yuan, "Just now I was in a hurry to speak, and I hope that Fang Yuan judges that there are a lot of adults, don't worry about it with the boy .”

Fang Yuan judge waved his hand, and let it go, he just took a careful look at Tang Ling, just now Qi Xiao brought Tang Ling in, he just gave a simple salute, and he didn't even have time to ask who this young master was.

Brocade clothes and luxurious clothes can be brought here by Qi Xiao himself, and he is an extraordinary person, but Fang Yuanfang has never seen him in the imperial hospital for 30 years. Is there such a noble son in Yuanjing City?

Thinking about it this way, there really is a proton of Zhou Guo who entered the city on the same day as Qi Xiao!

Qi Xiao didn't give Fang Yuan the time to think wildly, and said to him and Qing Lan: "Qing Lan, please draw up a prescription first, and ask Fang Yuan to study and judge together, and try it first."

"it is good."

Qing Lan responded immediately, looked up at Qi Xiao, and then at Tang Ling.

Tang Ling asked, "What's wrong?"

"...needs to be blindly induced."

"Just tell me what you want, I'll go to the Tai Hospital to get it myself."

Qi Xiao thought it was some precious medicinal material, now His Majesty thinks highly of him, even Zhang Suian has been sent to arrange for Lady Lin to recuperate her illness, the Imperial Hospital will never dare to neglect her again.

"No, no, it's not too hospital."

"Is there anything in the Tai Hospital?" Fang Yuan was so angry that his beard almost crooked, Zhou Guoren is so arrogant?

"Fresh snake gallbladder is needed...venomous snakes have the best medicinal effect."

Qi Xiao was stunned.

Tang Ling glanced at Qi Xiao and said, "Qing Lan, go and write the prescription.

Take the snake gall. "

"No!" The little white snake was a gift from Tang Ling, not used as medicine. "It's not hard to find poisonous snake guts, so I'll order someone to catch them."

Qing Lan scratched her head, raised her hand to compare with Qi Xiao: "One every two days.

to live.

Try ten posts first. "

Tang Ling nodded: "Qing Lan is going to write the prescription.

Ask Ye Huai to fetch the snake. "

Fang Yuan was a little dumbfounded by the side. Hearing the meaning, Tang Ling also kept a poisonous snake by her side? !

Qi Xiao pulled Tang Ling aside: "Don't play tricks on the little white snake.

Qinglan only said that she wanted the guts of a poisonous snake, not a little white snake. "

"This is Yuanjing City, not Fenglin Mountain. How can it be so easy for you to catch poisonous snakes?" Tang Ling knew that Qi Xiao liked little white snakes, let alone the things he gave him. It is best if you can find it before dusk, otherwise you will listen to me."

"No."

"Qi Xiao..." Tang Ling pulled Qi Xiao to avoid the corner, held his cheeks with both hands, and looked deeply at Qi Xiao.

Which is more important? Qi Xiao knows in his heart that he doesn't need others' persuasion, he just needs a little understanding and comfort to appease his inner suffering and anxiety.

"……I see."

Tang Ling smiled slightly and kissed his lips lightly.

"Brother Ninth..." Lady Lin woke up, and Princess Twelve came out to look for Qi Xiao, and then bumped into the two's unscrupulous intimacy, she was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly covered her flushed face.

Tang Ling was startled and blushed, really wanting to find an excuse to run away immediately.

"Is mother awake? Go in."

***

"... Young Master? Young Master? What are you thinking?"

Huang Zexian summoned Tang Ling several times before pulling his mind back.

"Huh? Uncle Huang, what did you just say?"

"My son is not in good spirits today? But are you tired?"

Tang Ling shook her head: "Uncle Huang, continue talking."

"...What did His Majesty say after entering the palace?"

"No, it's just a game of chess."

"What happened? The young master has been absent-minded since he came back."

Tang Ling sighed silently, he was really absent-minded after returning from the Westbound Palace, he left Qing Lan in the Westbound Palace to try the new prescription first.

Qing Lan whispered to him that Mrs. Lin was already terminally ill. If it had been a year or two earlier, it might have been delayed a little longer, but now it was too late, and Qing Lan could only do her best.

What worried Tang Ling was not only noble Lin's illness, but also the conversation she had with him alone...

"Uncle Huang, it's important to get down to business, let's talk."

"..." Huang Zexian lowered his eyes slightly to look at the booklet that Tang Ling held in his hand but hadn't opened it, and said, "Chen Guo's conditions for a peace agreement are all in it, and His Majesty will never agree to these conditions."

It was only then that Tang Ling remembered the brochure that Huang Zexian handed over just now, unfolded it and read it roughly, leaving aside the bits and pieces, there were only three key items, the annual tribute, the marriage, and the coalition.

The first item is that Zhou professed his ministers to Chen, and became Chen's vassal state from then on. Every year, he paid 10 taels of gold, 30 taels of silver, brocade and silk treasures, etc.

The second item is marriage, Tang Ling marries Princess Chen and stays in the Yuan capital forever.

However, it did not mention which princess is going to marry.

The third item is the coalition forces. Zhou is Chen's vassal state, and naturally he must fight against the enemy. If there is a war between Chen and Qi in the future, Zhou will be the vanguard.

Tang Ling read the brochure, and was immediately laughed out of anger. As expected, it was the lion who opened his mouth. There was no way Da Zhou would agree to such a condition, but the peace talks had to continue.

Tang Ling tossed the booklet away: "Since Uncle Huang said that His Majesty would not agree, there is no need to submit it to the emperor. Uncle Huang will discuss it with several other adults and draft a new memorandum for peace, and hand it over to the Ministry of Rites tomorrow. Give it to His Majesty."

"...After the previous agreement was rejected by the Ministry of Rites, Emperor Chen shelved the peace negotiation. He only raised one condition for restarting the peace negotiation, which is to let the young master join Chen as a hostage."

Tang Ling laughed: "One moment, that moment.

Am I already here?Uncle Huang can do as I want. In fact, there is no need to change too much, just write everything upside down. "
