The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 354: reason
Chapter 354 Reasons
Only then will Li Mao understand that the Bai family does not want to cause trouble, but it is not that they do not have the ability to cause trouble for him. Only then will he know that although the Bai family is left with only orphans and a widow, they are by no means powerless.
Li Mao must know the pain, the fear, and how ruthless the Bai family can be, only then will he be afraid and wary from the bottom of his heart.
Otherwise, Li Mao might have some intentions towards the Bai family, or… create trouble for the Bai family army far away in southern Xinjiang. This was not what she wanted to see. She needed the Bai family to be safe and the Bai family army to be successful, so she needed to hold Li Mao down, or even let Li Mao protect the Bai family and the Bai family army.
In this way…the letters that Li Mao is afraid of will not see the light of day for the time being.
Although Bai Qingyan hated Li Mao in his heart, compared to killing Li Mao, why wouldn’t Bai Qingyan take advantage of this person in a high position?
It’s just a matter of starting to clean up a few years later, there’s no rush.
Understanding Bai Qingyan’s intention, Bai Jinzhi nodded vigorously: “Then I will keep a close eye on the movements of the Left Prime Minister Li Mao in the next few days to prevent him from making a move!”
Bai Qingyan nodded.
Bai Jinzhi remembered that the emperor had not yet summoned Miss Lu to the palace for treatment, and she felt a little anxious: “Eldest sister, do you think I should go find Huang Jia’s A Rong again and ask if Huang Jia’s A Rong did not relay my words to Huang Taiyi? The emperor has a headache and can’t go to court, so why hasn’t anyone come from the palace to invite aunt?”
“I think that Doctor Huang must have mentioned my aunt to the emperor. Let’s wait a little longer, it should be soon.” Bai Qingyan said.
The emperor could not find the cause of his headache, and the Imperial Hospital was in a panic. If Doctor Huang heard his granddaughter mention that Miss Lu had cured many difficult cases, he would inevitably mention Miss Lu to the emperor.
After all, Doctor Huang had discussed the prescription for the Grand Princess with Miss Lu before, and he was very confident in Miss Lu’s medical skills.
The emperor was in unbearable pain and was extremely curious about this Miss Lu. Perhaps she could cure his headache, and he could also take this opportunity to meet her with a legitimate reason. Why wouldn’t the emperor do it?
The reason why he had not sent anyone to invite Lu Ninghua was probably because he wanted to meet her, but he was also worried that this Miss Lu was really the reincarnation of Aunt Suqiu. Now that the Bai family had ended up like this because of his suspicion, even if the emperor was unwilling to admit that he was wrong, he must have felt ashamed to face Aunt Suqiu deep down in his heart.
Bai Jinzhi had just mentioned that the emperor had not yet sent anyone to invite Lu Ninghua to the palace to treat the emperor, when at noon someone from Imperial Physician Huang’s residence came over and asked Miss Lu to go to the palace with Imperial Physician Huang to treat the emperor.
When Lu Ninghua heard the news that she was going to the palace to meet the emperor, she was not panicked. She just went to ask Nanny Jiang how she should dress. She happened to meet Bai Qingyan who came after hearing the news.
Bai Qingyan thought for a moment and said, “There’s no need to deliberately choose a favorite color, as long as the style is similar. If it’s the same as that of Noble Lady Qiu, it would be too artificial.”
Nanny Jiang nodded and said, “That’s exactly what Big Sister said. Why not choose the aqua blue moonlit dress that was just made the other day? It also looks refreshing.”
Lu Ninghua bowed to Madam Jiang and thanked her.
“Who did grandma assign to accompany and serve my aunt?” Bai Qingyan asked.
Nanny Jiang said hurriedly, “The Grand Princess asked me to accompany Miss Lu into the palace. It’s Miss Lu’s first time in the palace, so the Grand Princess can’t help but worry.”
Bai Qingyan nodded: “Yan still has something to tell Auntie, so go back with Auntie to change clothes!”
Grandma Jiang smiled and said, “I will go and prepare Miss Lu’s medicine box.”
“Thank you, Ma’am.” Lu Ninghua was very polite.
Bai Qingyan followed Miss Lu out, smiling as she said, “Aunt, this time when I come to the palace, I can only give acupuncture to stop the emperor’s headache. As for the cause of the emperor’s headache, since the Imperial Hospital can’t diagnose it, I can’t offend the entire Imperial Hospital. And…only when the emperor’s headache gets better, but not completely cured, will there be a reason for him to continue to see you.”
Lu Ninghua nodded and bowed to Bai Qingyan: “Don’t worry, Miss, Ninghua knows her limits and will do it well.”
“Aunt, you don’t have to be so polite.” Bai Qingyan supported Lu Ninghua, “I am the younger generation, and I am sorry for embarrassing you like this.”
Nanny Jiang ordered someone to prepare the medicine box and necessary utensils, and came to call Lu Ninghua, who had changed her clothes.
Bai Qingyan escorted Lu Ninghua out of the house and bowed, saying, “Thank you for your help, Auntie and Nanny Jiang.”
Lu Ninghua returned the greeting to Bai Qingyan and was helped onto the carriage by Nanny Jiang, with her palms clenched tightly. This was her first time to meet the emperor, and the success or failure would depend on this one time, as the Grand Princess had repeatedly explained.
The Grand Princess had been very kind to her and her mother. If it weren’t for the Grand Princess, both mother and daughter would have passed away long ago. She had no choice but to repay the Grand Princess with her life in this lifetime and would never ruin her plans.
At the hour of You, the emperor’s reward returned to the Princess Zhenguo’s Mansion along with Lu Ninghua.
Bai Qingyan and the Grand Princess were waiting for Lu Ninghua early.
After Lu Ninghua came back, she described in detail what happened in the palace today.
After hearing what Lu Ninghua said, the emperor dismissed his attendants and left her alone in the palace. Looking at her with a sad look and red and wet eyes, the eldest princess, who was sitting on a turmeric-colored passionflower-patterned cushion, closed her eyes, fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Bai Qingyan knew that the emperor believed that Lu Ninghua was the reincarnation of his aunt Bai Suqiu.
“Thank you for your hard work today, aunt.” Bai Qingyan smiled at Lu Ninghua.
“What’s happening to the emperor’s health? Is there someone deliberately trying to win his favor and hurting his majesty’s body?” asked the eldest princess.
She did not dare to hide it from Grand Princess Lu Ninghua, so she said, “Your Majesty’s pulse is normal, so Ninghua is not sure for the time being.”
“Tell me what you have to say.” The eldest princess opened her eyes and picked up the teacup at hand.
“Ning Ya noticed that your Majesty’s fingers were shaking slightly and that his body was emitting a unique fragrance. She guessed that your Majesty seemed to have used a kind of aphrodisiac that came from Xiliang. This medicine… makes people feel virile when used, but an overdose will cause mild poisoning and unbearable headaches.”
When Lu Ninghua talked about this, she did not have the shyness of an unmarried girl at all, and spoke in a very graceful and dignified manner. However, the Grand Princess was annoyed that Bai Qingyan’s ears were polluted by hearing these things, and she frowned.
“Aunt, have you seen Concubine Qiu?” Bai Qingyan asked again.
Lu Ninghua shook her head.
Bai Qingyan thought that only Concubine Qiu’s massage for His Majesty could slightly relieve such a headache, so he asked: “If His Majesty really used this medicine, is there anything that can relieve such a headache?”
Lu Ninghua thought for a moment and shook her head: “This aphrodisiac was brought over from Xiliang. Ninghua has never had any in-depth contact with it. I only saw it when my grandfather treated a patient like this. So for now, I can only guess that His Majesty has used this medicine, but I can’t be sure.”
Bai Qingyan narrowed his eyes. This is Xiliang’s love-enhancing medicine…
“After giving your majesty acupuncture, I have suggested that your majesty should abstain from desires and live alone on a vegetarian diet for ten days.” Lu Ninghua looked at Bai Qingyan, “If your majesty does not have a headache within ten days, Ninghua can confirm that your majesty has taken this aphrodisiac.”
