Chapter 222: Substituting Herbs
Chapter 222: Substituting Herbs
In a palace in the fairyland, a middle-aged man in white stood in front of a mirror.
"Is the little girl very powerful? She asked the Emperor of Fengdu for the Soul-Nourishing Wood. The Soul-Nourishing Wood gave her soul. Well, the Emperor of Fengdu's son was saved by the little girl. It was God's will. The little girl had a nightmare, well, she saw my face. So what? She didn't recognize me. Oh. When she wants to recognize me, she will recognize me." The middle-aged man in white sighed.
He waved his hand and the image disappeared.
"Qiqi, if you can't remember, just forget about it. Come and drink some water and let's take a rest. I'm here for you." Zhou Jingze comforted.
Qiqi woke up early in the morning and felt cold. Zhou Jingze had already returned to the Prince's Mansion. She quickly got up, washed up quickly, and went to have breakfast with her parents.
"Good morning, Dad and Mom. Good morning, Brother Xie Lei too." Qiqi saw Xie Lei also coming to have breakfast with his parents.
"Please sit down, both of you. The food will get cold soon." Zhao Yunniang said.
"Father, Mother, I want to bring our whole family to live in Lingxiao Sect. It's a good place for retirement." Qiqi said.
"Father, Mother, Qiqi has set up a school there, and the children can go to school there. We also grow some vegetables and grains there, and the rice we grow is delicious. Our family will be reunited there. Brother Yuntian and sister-in-law can also see you and your son every day. They must be very happy." Xie Lei said.
"Qiqi, Xiaolei, if such a large family goes there, where will we have room to stay? I feel a little reluctant to leave this home." Jiang Shuoan said.
"Father, this family can't run away from here. If you want to come back and live here, we will send you back. You two old people can run back and forth and won't be lonely anymore. You can also see my elder brother and me." Qiqi said.
"Qiqi, are you and your two babies going to live there permanently? Then we'll stay there for a month and come back when we miss home." Zhao Yunniang said.
"Okay, mother. We will leave in a few days. You can pack your things first. You don't need to bring too much. The house is fully furnished. Father will ask for a long vacation from the bookstore." Qiqi said.
"Qiqi, let your mother go with you. I won't go. The bookstore is busy. Many people go there to borrow books and write books. Everyone is busy. It's not convenient for me to ask for leave." Jiang Shuoan said.
"Father, if you don't go, then Mother won't go either. I've finally stopped traveling. When the two babies grow up, we'll go traveling. Even if you want to go to Lingxiao Sect, you won't be able to see us. This is just one chance. If you don't go, I won't force you. I'm going to get busy now." Qiqi showed a disappointed expression and went back to her room. She laughed as she returned to her room. Why do you act more like a child the older you get?
"Father, you can see that Qiqi is very disappointed if you don't go. Qiqi has never asked you to do anything. This time she feels that the air in Lingxiao Sect is fresh. You can also grow vegetables in the mountains. You will like it when you go there." Xie Lei advised.
"Yes, old man, let's go with them and have a look. If you don't feel comfortable, we can stay for a few days and then come back. I miss my two precious nephews so much."
"Oh, okay. I'll go and ask for leave first, you pack your things first." After Jiang Shuoan said this, he went to the bookstore to work and asked for leave.
"Xiao Lei, go tell Qiqi, don't let her feel disappointed."
"Okay, mother. I'll go find Qiqi right away."
Xie Lei arrived at Qiqi's yard. Qiqi was sitting on a small couch in the yard, drinking tea. She didn't look unhappy at all!
"Come, Brother Xie Lei. I've been waiting for you to come and drink tea. The cups are ready for you." Qiqi poured a cup of tea for Xie Lei and handed it to him.
Xie Lei took the cup Qiqi handed over and took a sip. "Thank you, Qiqi. My father has gone to the bookstore to ask for leave. Qiqi, you are so resourceful that you can get my father to agree with just a few words."
"Father is reluctant to leave his ancestral home. Let him adapt to it during this period of time. If he stays there for too long, he won't want to come back." Qiqi said.
"Brother Xie Lei, let me tell you something. The Emperor has extended my parents' lives by at least thirty years. Be nice to your father from now on. It hasn't been easy for him either."
"Qiqi, what you said is true. I was wondering why my parents were so energetic today. My father did a good thing. I was thinking of asking him to extend their lifespan. Every time I see my parents getting old, I feel bad. This is great, this is great. My parents can be with us for decades. When I see Father Dijun, I will thank him and be filial to him." Xie Lei said.
"Brother, I just don't know if the Emperor's extension of his parents' lifespan has any effect on him. I'm a little worried. Let's go see him after we get back."
"Okay, Qiqi." Although Xie Lei had just recognized his father, he was still a little worried about Emperor's father.
"Brother Xie Lei, let's take a few cars and leave. Let the family only take the clothes they carry with them, and leave everything else alone."
"Qiqi, leave these to me. Mother has already asked someone to notify the family. Just take a few diligent servants with you, and the rest of the servants can stay in the mansion or go to Fuxiangju to help with the work. For the time being, the servants at home will not move. When you decide not to come back in the future, you can find a way to arrange for these people." Xie Lei said.
"Thank you, Brother Lei, you're so thoughtful. Okay, I'll leave it alone. I'll go to the palace later. I promised Father yesterday that we'd have dinner together, and I can't break my promise."
"Okay, Qiqi, you go ahead. I'll make the arrangements too." Xie Lei said and went to get busy.
Qiqi teleported to the palace. She knew that the court had just ended, so she went to the palace to see what was happening in the harem.
Qiqi quickly landed on the highest observation tower in the palace. The guards didn't notice her. She saw young palace maids secretly bringing food to the concubines in the cold palace. She saw people in the pharmacy secretly taking medicine to curry favor with concubines in exchange for silver. She also saw ministers forming cliques and cliques. She also saw young eunuchs passing palace intelligence to officials.
Qiqi saw it, and so did the guards. But no one cared. Is the palace really that lax? I had a good chat with Zhou Jingze about this.
It's time to punish a group of officials. These people have blatantly reached into the palace. They will bribe or plant more spies in the future.
Qiqi went to the roof of the pharmacy and found that someone had stolen medicine, put the inferior medicine into the medicine kitchen, and kept the good quality medicine for themselves. She was very angry.
She appeared and called the guards over. She lowered her head and whispered a few words to them, asking them to catch these people when they were changing their medicines, search their rooms for good medicines, and see if they would reveal their true colors.
