Chapter 294 Asking for Leave from Emperor Jing
Only then did Su Tang realize that the light in front of her was very dim.
When he turned his head to the side, he found himself in a carriage. As expected, he had just entered the illusion again.
Su Tang rubbed her brows and said, "It's okay. How long have I slept?"
Chunmei put a cushion on Su Tang's back and said, "Not long after, Thirteen noticed that your breathing was a little strange, so he stopped the car and called you, but you didn't hear me. After I woke up, I called you a few more times, and you woke up."
"Well, it's okay. Thirteen, continue on your way." Su Tang said to Thirteen outside.
Thirteen agreed, and the carriage began to shake again.
After what happened just now, Su Tang was no longer sleepy.
After returning to Beijing, she would talk to Emperor Jing and go to Dahe Village to get the black card back.
Otherwise, with this black box by her side, she would enter into illusions from time to time.
When they returned to Prince Qi's mansion in Kyoto, Xia Mei and Qiu Mei came to the front yard to greet them.
"Everything is fine on the way." Su Tang took off her coat and handed it to Qiu Mei beside her.
"No, Princess Thirteen came to ask once, and I told her that you had a headache and needed to rest quietly, and she never came to disturb you again." Xia Mei then briefly recounted what happened on the way back to Beijing.
Su Tang didn't think there was anything special about it, so she nodded and said, "I'm going to take a bath and have a good rest. When I wake up, I'll get ready. I'm going to the palace."
"Yes." Xia Mei and others responded.
Because she suddenly entered into a hallucination on the road, Su Tang didn't sleep well along the way.
When Su Tang woke up again, it was already early morning of the next day.
After breakfast, Su Tang entered the palace with the gold medal given by Emperor Jing.
When Emperor Jing saw Su Tang, he looked very happy, "I was thinking that you guys must be exhausted from praying for blessings, why did you come to the palace today?"
"Father, we just went to pray for blessings and chanted some scriptures. Apart from being a little exhausting, everything else is fine."
"Well, but you guys are all well-educated. Going to the temple to pray can be considered as practicing for a few days, which is also good for your health." After saying this, Emperor Jing picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Tang'er came to the palace today to tell my father that I need to go back to Dahe Village."
When Emperor Jing heard Su Tang's words, he frowned slightly.
He didn't like the fact that Su Tang had too close contacts with the Zhao family after being recognized.
According to reports from his spies, Su Tang actually invested in building a villa for the Zhao family in Dahe Village.
In fact, in the eyes of Emperor Jing, after Zhao Youtian and his family returned to Beijing, he had forgiven him for the crime of kidnapping Su Tang, which was already a great grace.
After all, Su Tang is the daughter of him and his favorite imperial concubine. Because Zhao Youtian took Su Tang away, he has never enjoyed the father-daughter relationship with Su Tang.
Therefore, Emperor Jingdi did not like the fact that Su Tang was still in contact with Zhao Youtian's family. In his opinion, Zhao Youtian had made amends for his mistakes, and their royal family did not owe Zhao Youtian anything.
However, Emperor Jing did not show all this, as he did not want to create any estrangement between him and Su Tang.
"You can go back to Dahe Village as you please. You are already married, so you don't need to report this trivial matter to me. By the way, when you leave, bring back some tonic from the Imperial Hospital. Zhao Youtian is not young anymore, so you should give him some nourishment."
Su Tang nodded in agreement, then said goodbye to Emperor Jing and went to the Imperial Hospital.
Emperor Jing sent Eunuch Fu and Su Tang to the Imperial Hospital together. After all, only a few people in the Imperial Study heard Emperor Jing's order just now.
Su Tang and Eunuch Fu suddenly appeared in the Imperial Hospital, which really surprised the imperial doctors on duty that day.
"Grand Princess, Eunuch Fu, why did you two come to the Imperial Hospital in person?" asked an older imperial physician after greeting Su Tang and the others.
Eunuch Fu told the imperial physicians on duty about Emperor Jing's order, and they immediately got busy looking for suitable tonics in the pharmacy.
Su Tang was not in a hurry and strolled around the rooms in the Imperial Hospital.
The rooms in the Imperial Hospital have not changed for decades. Su Tang remembered that Zhao Youtian once said that the Zhao family had inherited the Imperial Hospital for three generations, and of course the last generation was Zhao Youtian.
But Zhao Youtian was involved in the affairs of Concubine Su, which ruined the Zhao family's official career. Now Zhao Youtian's two sons have no future and are only slightly better than farmers.
Su Tang sighed and walked to a table where several prescriptions were placed.
Su Tang subconsciously glanced at the prescription and saw a somewhat strange prescription.
The ratio of medicinal materials in this prescription is very strange. Those medicinal materials are poisonous when combined together. It is the kind of chronic toxicity. How can this prescription be placed on the table so openly?
Who is this prescription for?
Seeing that Su Tang had been looking at the prescription for a long time without moving, Eunuch Fu, who had been waiting with Su Tang, also took a few steps forward and took a look at the table.
"Grand Princess, is there anything wrong with these prescriptions?" Eunuch Fu has lived in the palace for a long time. He is also the chief eunuch beside Emperor Jing and knows some simple pharmacology.
However, the combination of medicinal materials in that prescription was so ingenious that it would be impossible to tell unless one was well versed in medical knowledge.
There are many imperial physicians on duty in the Imperial Medical Bureau today, and this prescription is placed so openly on the table. Su Tang is not sure whether this prescription is for the imperial physicians to study or for certain people.
"Nothing, I just saw the prescriptions and couldn't help but take a few more glances." Su Tang retracted her gaze and stopped looking at the prescriptions.
Eunuch Fu naturally knew that Su Tang also understood medicine. After all, it was Su Tang who treated the Second Prince's illness, so it was understandable that Su Tang took a few more glances at the prescription.
Soon, the imperial doctors came out of the pharmacy carrying several boxes.
Several imperial doctors placed the wooden boxes on the table one by one and opened them.
"Here are some nourishing herbs. Take a look. There are ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, deer antlers..."
Su Tang looked at them one by one and found that they were all very old medicinal materials. The deer antler was fresh and it seemed that it had been tributed not long ago.
Su Tang suddenly looked at the leading imperial physician and asked, "Where do the imperial hospital get its medicinal materials from?"
"This..." The old doctor looked up at Eunuch Fu, then looked at Su Tang, "The medicinal materials here are not purchased by the Imperial Hospital, but have always been purchased by the palace procurement department."
"Oh." Su Tang nodded in response.
Since she couldn't get any answers, Su Tang stopped asking. After taking a look at the herbs, she said to the doctors, "Then you can go about yourselves."
Eunuch Fu immediately called upon the young eunuch who came with them to carry the wooden boxes out and help Su Tang return to Prince Qi's Palace.
Before leaving, Su Tang took a special look and saw that all the prescriptions were collected by a young imperial physician. Su Tang silently memorized the appearance of the imperial physician.
