Another day of sleeping until I wake up naturally.
It's nice not to have to go to Songhe Hall to greet the old lady.
Although the old lady has not gone to the Buddhist hall to reflect, Su Tang thinks it is better not to go to Songhe Hall. If the old lady is angry because she fails to say something with her clumsy tongue, she will have to move to the Buddhist hall again.
Moved back.
Anyway, if she didn't go, no one would dare to say that she was disrespectful to the old lady and just lazy.
In the house, Su Tang was leaning on the small couch drinking sour plum soup. Hongling ran in from outside, panting from exhaustion. When Banxia saw him, he asked, "What's the matter that you need to report so urgently?"
Hong Ling took a breath, then looked at Su Tang and said, "Prince Concubine, the Queen Mother is going back to Beijing."
Su Tang frowned, and Banxia said, "How is this possible? The Queen Mother just left Beijing two days ago to escape the summer heat. Why is she coming back again?"
Hong Ling hurriedly replied, "The Queen Mother suffered from heatstroke on her way to escape the summer heat. The accompanying physician felt that continuing to travel would hurt the Queen Mother's health, so he suggested that the Queen Mother return to Beijing, and then the Queen Mother stopped going to escape the summer heat."
Banxia and Poria looked at each other, looking at Su Tang with worried eyes.
The Queen Mother was sent away from Kyoto to escape the summer because the Crown Princess forced the imperial concubine to impeach the Queen Mother for interfering in politics in the harem. Who would have thought that she would suffer from heat stroke on the way to escape the summer heat, and the Queen Mother would definitely put this bad debt on her family's Crown Princess.
Compared to Banxia and Poria's worries, Su Tang was much calmer. She had already offended the Queen Mother to death, and it wasn't much. On the contrary, Su Tang was doubtful about the Queen Mother's heatstroke.
She did not deny that the weather was really hot, and the carriage ride was bumpy, but the Queen Mother was sitting in a phoenix, using ice cubes to cool off, and there was an imperial doctor accompanying her to take care of her. If she could get heatstroke in this way, then the accompanying palace attendants would die of heat.
?
She was originally surprised that the Queen Mother was so angry that she fell ill again and again. She could have taken the opportunity to stay in Kyoto, and the Emperor could not force her to send her away, but the Queen Mother still chose to go to escape the summer heat. At that time, she thought that the Queen Mother was afraid, but now it seems
, I am afraid that the Queen Mother has no intention of actually going to escape the summer heat, and is just going through the motions to silence the Emperor.
Su Tang continued to drink the sour plum soup. After Hong Ling finished her report, she was about to leave. After taking two steps, she remembered something she hadn't reported yet, so she hurriedly turned back and said, "Concubine Zhao, Princess Zhao is here to say thank you to you and the Master.
"
Preoccupied with reporting to the Queen Mother that she was going back to Beijing, she almost forgot about it.
Su Tang raised her brows. Prince Zhao's Palace begged her and Xie Boting to help invite Dr. Jia. It was normal for Prince Zhao's Palace to thank them, but it was thought-provoking that Princess Zhao came in person.
Princess Zhao came to express her gratitude. Su Tang drank the remaining half of the bowl of sour plum soup in one gulp, and then stood up.
As soon as she went out, she saw the maid leading Princess Zhao in. Prince Zhao's Mansion is the natal family of the Princess of Nankang. People from Prince Zhao's Mansion can always come to the door without any hindrance and no need to inform them first.
Su Tang stepped down the steps and came forward, "Why is Princess Zhao here?"
Princess Zhao's face was a little pale, but she was in good spirits. She smiled and said, "If it hadn't been for the help of the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince, my Prince Zhao's Mansion would not have been able to hire Dr. Jia, and my Prince would have been in trouble. How could I, Prince Zhao's Mansion, have such a great kindness?"
Don’t you want to come and say thank you?”
Reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling person, regardless of whether Princess Zhao's gratitude was sincere or not, at least she came. Su Tang smiled and replied, "My husband and I didn't help much. It was Princess Zhao's deep affection for King Zhao that moved Dr. Jia, and Princess Zhao moved Doctor Jia."
I am going to cut out the flesh and draw blood for King Zhao, so I should stay in the mansion to rest and recuperate."
Princess Zhao said, "Doctor Jia has superb medical skills and can cure the disease with medicine. If Dr. Jia is willing to reward him, I will hold a banquet to thank him after the renovation of Prince Zhao's mansion is completed."
Su Tang said, "I will truthfully convey Princess Zhao's gratitude to Dr. Jia."
Princess Zhao nodded and asked the maid to give her a gift of thanks, two pieces of cloud brocade, two pieces of Shu brocade, and a pair of silk-wrapped gold bracelets. The craftsmanship was so exquisite that people couldn't take their eyes away from it.
This thank you gift is not light.
Su Tang smiled and said, "Princess Zhao is too polite. Dr. Jia received the consultation fee for detoxifying King Zhao. I can't accept this thank you gift."
Princess Zhao said, "Is it possible that the Crown Princess feels that this thank you gift is too light?"
In this way, it would be impossible for Su Tang not to accept it.
Su Tang thanked her, and Princess Zhao said, "I won't sit here any longer and take my leave."
Su Tang would definitely not keep Princess Zhao, so she got up to see her off, but only sent her to the door before returning to the house.
Banxia showed the pair of coiled silk bracelets to Su Tang. When Su Tang took it into her hands, she smelled a subtle fragrance, and her eyes turned cold. This chapter has been completed!
