[Red Mansion+Qing Chuan] The heroine comes from the last days

……Oh.

Jiang Ling stared at the medicine bowl in front of him, showing a bitter and bitter expression.Seeing this, Kangxi shook his head and smiled again, walked into the room, sat down opposite Jiang Ling, and tapped lightly on the desk with two fingers: "What's wrong? Don't want to drink medicine?"

The nuns around were all startled, they took two steps back and gave Jiang Ling a wink.

Jiang Ling didn't understand what the nuns meant, but she understood what Kangxi meant.She stirred the medicine bowl with a small spoon, seeing the dark ripples in the bowl, which still exuded the unique bitter taste of traditional Chinese medicine, she frowned secretly, held her breath, and scooped out a little soup medicine with a small spoon , slowly in the mouth.

Kangxi laughed again, and sat motionless opposite her.

Jiang Ling didn't know what was on his mind again, but since the nuns were trying their best to wink, there must be nothing good.She swallowed those bitter medicines slowly and little by little, followed by the second spoonful and the third spoonful... Traditional Chinese medicine is already bitter, but it will be even more bitter when it is placed at room temperature, especially if the imperial physician has changed it. After the prescription, the big black bowl can make people want to cry without tears.

But Jiang Ling still drank the medicine slowly, spoon by spoon.

There was still a little residue in the bowl, but the nuns had already put the medicine bowl back, and wiped the remaining medicine juice for her with a handkerchief.She took the veil and nodded to the nuns, and the nuns backed away.It was only then that Kangxi smiled and said: "Let's go." Then he took her outside naturally.

At this time, it was already the end of dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun was still a bit glaring.

Jiang Ling raised her sleeves to block the sunlight, and suddenly heard Kangxi laughing and saying: "I forgot." He grabbed her wrist, led her to turn a corner, and walked towards another path.Jiang Ling looked at him in surprise, but he could only see a side face.Kangxi didn't speak any more, and didn't take anyone with him, just holding her hand, took a detour, and walked to a row of simple and hidden small houses.

Kangxi let go of her hand, and two eunuchs came up to greet Qian'er.

Kangxi nodded, and asked again: "What happened to those two?"

A eunuch replied: "Return to the emperor, still the same old way, stubborn."

Kangxi slightly raised his hand, and another eunuch clicked twice, and opened the door of one of the small rooms.This place is probably the former utility room. It is dark and chaotic inside, and there is also a faint musty smell.Sitting in the middle of the room was a man with a high nose and deep eyes. Judging from his clothes and appearance, he looked like the Russian man Jiang Ling had met not long ago.There was still a complete set of food boxes at his feet, and the food was still steaming, obviously it had just been delivered.

Jiang Ling looked at Kangxi in surprise, waiting for his explanation.

Kangxi smiled and said: "Last time you—you guys go down." After saying this, he winked at the two eunuchs.

The eunuchs understood, gave another thousand blows, and retreated to the other side of the small room. Kangxi then took her into the room and said with a smile: "Last time you wanted to say come and see these two people, maybe .Now that the matter is over, let me show you something new. Take a closer look, is there anything special about this person?"

This is exactly the purpose of Kangxi bringing her here.Although some questions have been asked from those two people, and a new letter has been submitted to Russia, Kangxi still wants to ask more things, such as their purpose of coming here (especially the purpose of deceiving him) .Now, taking advantage of the free time, Jiang Ling can just come over and have a try, maybe he can squeeze out the last bit of value.

As for why Jiang Ling came here, Kangxi can only attribute it to his own temporary intentions, or the courtiers searched for a long time, but they did not find the book Jiang Ling called, or "that book". Ling saw it completely by himself.

Jiang Ling walked around the man and asked softly, "Can you understand us? Are you a missionary?"

The man raised his eyelids and said in a blunt and awkward tone: "I can understand your words."

Jiang Ling tilted her head to look at him, then looked at the food on the ground, suddenly picked it up and went outside, found the two eunuchs, and whispered a few words to them.Kangxi stood in the dark little room, glanced at Jiang Ling, couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

The missionary glanced at Kangxi and said, "A very beautiful lady."

Kangxi did not speak.After waiting for a while, Jiang Ling returned to the room again, glanced at the missionary, and said with a smile: "I read it in a book, you like to eat bread every day."

Now it's reality, not a dream, and she can only vaguely explain it "in the book".

The missionary's expression finally became surprised. He glanced at Jiang Ling and crossed himself on his chest.

Kangxi's heart moved, and he thought to himself that it might be useful to bring her here, so he took advantage of the missionary's prayer break, pulled Jiang Ling aside, and whispered a few words in his ear.Jiang Ling was stunned at first, but after Kangxi finished speaking, he showed a clear expression.

——It turned out that she was asked to come here to talk.

I really don't know why Kangxi trusts her so much, maybe a dead horse is regarded as a living horse doctor?While Jiang Ling was thinking wildly, she walked to the missionary and listened to his prayer.The missionary uttered a long passage, and Jiang Ling guessed that it was in Russian, or some other Eastern European language.When the missionary finally finished chanting and opened his eyes, Jiang Ling coughed lightly, and said, "I read in the book that you migrated all the way east from the Caucasus Mountains, but because you are used to Western European life, and there are large manors and territories in the west, so few people will come here. Are you—are you here to preach?"

Very appropriate logic.If it wasn't for preaching, who would come here all the way?

The missionary glanced at Jiang Ling and said in a blunt tone, "Yes."

Immediately afterwards, the two eunuchs trotted all the way, carrying a tray with a wide plate on which were placed big steamed buns, beans, cooked beef, lettuce and sauce.When the missionary saw his new dinner, his eyeballs finally moved, and he turned his head and asked, "Ma'am, what do you mean?"

Jiang Ling smiled and said: "You should be used to cold food and sweet food, eat some."

The missionary's eyeballs moved again, and he caught a sharp glimpse of the silver tableware and napkins on the tray, and was finally a little moved.According to the custom of Westerners, he prayed for a while before the meal, then put the napkin on his knees, took the steamed buns as bread, cut them into slices, smeared some honey on them, added beef and beans, and made A simple sandwich that you chew slowly in your mouth.Jiang Ling looked at his movements carefully before smiling, "You must be a nobleman."

The missionary froze for a moment.

Jiang Ling continued: "Ordinary missionaries should not be picky about food when they are hungry, but also cut these foods into pieces and eat them in strict order. Well, I guess you are not only a Noble, or a noble with strict family education."

The missionary paused again, and the speed of eating slowed down a bit.

Jiang Ling smiled, and said: "But you, a nobleman, don't want to come here for thousands of miles. Why? To spread the gospel of the Lord, or for your emperor, or the grand duke, or the princess, or the queen , to the Far East to open up new battlefields and restore the glory of your Third Roman Empire?...Oh, you call yourself the 'Third Rome'."

The missionary stood up suddenly, stared at Jiang Ling, and said word by word: "Please don't slander the glory of the Third Rome."

Jiang Ling smiled lightly and said, "Oh, the glory of the Third Rome. I once... read in the book that when the Roman Empire was at its most glorious, it once turned the Mediterranean Sea into their inner lake. You marched eastward all the way, Do you want to turn Lake Baikal into your inner lake, or do you want to include the entire Far East in your territory? Let me guess, as a missionary, you should be a pioneer, following in the footsteps of Marco Polo, looking for the richest land in the East Or proclaim your greatness to the Eastern Emperor, so that the army will be timid without fighting? Or—”

She stopped talking suddenly, and took half a step back a little later.

The missionary babbled a long series of words, evidently involuntary in his mother tongue under the influence of emotion.Jiang Ling was stunned, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Kangxi's slight nod, and continued: "But your emperor just came to the throne not long ago. Let me guess, was it two years ago or a year ago? Why doesn't the Senate introduce a prince or princess from other countries to inherit the throne like Sweden, Austria-Hungary, the French Empire, Spain or Italy? Isn't this your habit?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Kangxi's slightly astonished expression.

Well, the act of borrowing princes, princesses, emperors, and queens from each other in Western empires should be extremely incredible in the eyes of Easterners.Just as Jiang Ling was about to say more, the missionary suddenly became agitated and babbled a long string of Russian words.In the hurried and anxious voice, Jiang Ling suddenly heard a slight knock on the wall.It was a real knock on the wall. In the next room of this room, someone knocked lightly three times.Kangxi smiled, and when he looked at Jiang Ling again, he already had some inexplicable deep meaning.

Jiang Ling was stunned, recalled carefully for a moment, and confirmed that she hadn't said anything revealing just now.

But Kangxi had already grabbed her wrist, nodded to the two eunuchs, and led Jiang Ling out of the room.An eunuch snapped the lock on the door, and suddenly a young official came out from the small room next door.The official bowed to Kangxi, and said: "Go back to the emperor, just now the man revealed something in agitation. I didn't expect that I stayed here for several days——"

Kangxi raised his hand slightly to stop his next words, then glanced at Jiang Ling, motioned for her to wait at the same place, then took the official to a place more than 50 meters away, and said, "Continue."

At this distance, normal people can no longer hear the sound, but Jiang Ling's body is better than normal people, so he vaguely heard, "I have lived here for several days and I have nothing. I didn't expect the emperor... oh, The man said, if it wasn't for Princess Sophia, why would he come to this ghost place. The two tsars were young, and one of them couldn't take care of himself. Princess Sophia was almost kicked out by those old guys. Only expansion , expand as much as you want to silence those old guys. But you can't anger the emperor in the East, lest the Far East and Siberia be passive, those manor owners don't know how to fight... oh god...he can't let those old guys come from France or If Italy borrowed an emperor, then Princess Sophia would be in danger..."

Jiang Ling listened for a moment and couldn't help laughing.

After the official reported, Kangxi walked over slowly, looked at her with a smile, and said, "Let's go."

Jiang Ling answered yes, stepped up two steps, and followed.Although Kangxi avoided her just now, she could still guess that the official should have lived here all the time, waiting for the missionary to confide something, but the missionary didn't say anything.After trying it himself just now, the missionary got emotional and uttered a long series of words in his mother tongue.

Jiang Ling thought to himself, this is probably the reason why Kangxi asked her to come here.

The two of them walked back for a short distance, until they could no longer see those houses, Kangxi stopped and said with a smile: "I didn't expect such a result. I would like to thank you for speaking of it. Solved a huge problem."

Jiang Ling avoided his gaze and said in a low voice, "I..."

Kangxi smiled faintly again, grabbed Jiang Ling's wrist, and led her to walk two steps forward, until he reached the edge of the big lake, and then stopped.Jiang Ling tried several times, but couldn't pull out his hand, so he couldn't help but whispered: "Your Majesty."

For no reason, she remembered the dream last night and the strange words Kangxi said in the dream.
