074 Gift

Princess Rong is happy.

The stomach has not moved for several years, and now she is finally pregnant with the first child of Prince Hui, and the entire King Hui Mansion is shrouded in joy.

Princess Rong learned from Jin Yuan that Lu Mansheng had stayed in the Fulai Inn for more than half a year. Knowing that she was in good health and was pregnant with the prince's child as she wished, Princess Rong asked the maid to send five hundred taels of silver as a token of gratitude. Lu Mansheng didn't shirk and laughed at it.

These silver taels, along with the previous ones, were deposited into the Dafeng Bank.

Lu Mansheng picked up two more patients one after another, she didn't know who they were, judging from their rank and identity, their status should not be low. But these are not Lu Mansheng's things to care about, who the other party is has nothing to do with her, she just needs to do her own thing.

During these days, many outsiders came to the Fulai Inn.

Everyone was dressed in similar attire, with a long shirt, a square hat, and a medicine box on their backs. According to the shopkeeper Xu, these people came from all over the country to participate in the Xinglin Festival.

The annual apricot forest event is a rare event in Dayao. At this time, famous doctors from all over the world gather in Luhua City to prepare for the next half-month apricot forest event.

There are many people staying in the major inns in Luhua City, and Fulai Inn is no exception. Not only the inn, but every corner of Luhua City felt the atmosphere of the apricot forest event and became more and more lively.

In order to achieve good results in the apricot grove event, famous doctors from all over the world are preparing at the same time, and they also open free clinics to treat the poor for free, so as to accumulate fame for themselves.

Dayao's apricot grove event. The specifications are not much worse than the ancient imperial examinations. One is to test knowledge and select talents who govern the country, and the other is to select doctors with both medical ethics. The famous doctors selected were not only talents who became the reserve of the Dayao Dynasty. You can also follow the gold medal imperial doctor to other countries and contribute to improving the level of medical skills in other countries.

Regardless of these, the doctors who have achieved results in the Apricot Forest Festival and have been given titles will be able to get the fortune of the dynasty every year and enter the famous doctors of the dynasty that people admire. Fame and fortune, this kind of thing, few people don't want to do.

There are many doctors. It is the first time or even the 10th time that I have come to Luhua City to participate in the annual apricot grove event. Those who won the title last year are not willing to stop. Strive to climb higher.

Of course, there are many doctors who come with the intention of communicating with famous doctors from all over the world and improving their medical skills and knowledge. Even if it is an apricot forest event, it has not achieved impressive results. It's still quite rewarding.

No matter what the purpose of the crowd is. At this time of year, it is the most lively time in Luhua City.

And some poor people who can't afford to see a doctor are also looking forward to this time the most. Not only the people in the city, but also outside the city, there are many doctors who go to the free clinic.

The annual apricot grove event, although it costs people and money, does make a lot of contributions to Dayao. Da Yao's medical skills are unique, and he also has an advantage in diplomacy every year because of the dispatch of outstanding medical talents. Just think about it. The royal family of another country suddenly fell seriously ill, and when everyone was helpless. Da Yao's famous doctor arrived at the critical moment and saved their lives.

This undoubtedly increased the goodwill of other countries towards Da Yao, not to mention, every time the gold medal imperial doctor took a famous doctor to another country, when he came back, he could always bring back the silk treasures and famous jade gifts from other dynasties. and then rewarded these things to the meritorious servants and rewarded the imperial doctor, killing two birds with one stone, saving a considerable amount of money for Da Yao's treasury.

Therefore, whether it is inside and outside, nobles and ordinary people, they are very eager to welcome the arrival of the apricot grove event.

Even if Lu Mansheng didn't pay attention to it, he could still feel the scorching atmosphere of Luhua City.

Lu Mansheng didn't leave the inn for two days in a row, she was planning a trip to Qixue Mountain in the near future.

She couldn't wait until next year, she had to get the Ice Heart Jade Lotus this year.

Qixue Mountain is in the extreme west of Dayao, and it takes two days to travel from here to the foot of the Snow Mountain. The snow-capped mountain is more than 3,200 meters above sea level, standing in the sky, and covered with snow all year round. Under the sunlight, it is white and crystalline, silver and brilliant, beautiful and magnificent.

In October, the snow melts at the foot of the mountain, making it much easier for those who go up the mountain. In the cold winter, the north wind is howling, covered with ice and snow, and if you want to go to Qixue Mountain, it is not so easy.

The Ice Heart Jade Lotus blooms in October and withers in November. Lu Mansheng was about to arrive at Qixue Mountain at the beginning of October, and immediately descended the mountain after picking off the Ice Heart Jade Lotus, and could not stay on the mountain for long.

However, with Lu Mansheng's physique, it was almost impossible to go to the Snow Mountain alone and obtain the Ice Heart Jade Lotus from a group of well-trained elite soldiers.

Although October has not yet entered the harsh winter season, the snow-capped mountains in the morning and evening are still difficult to support. Lu Mansheng didn't have the confidence that she could stay in the snowy mountains for so long, it would kill her.

Lu Mansheng successively purchased the necessary things for climbing the snow mountain, and searched many local geography books to find records about Qixue Mountain and Bingxin Yulian.

Then, after integrating the information he had obtained, Lu Mansheng finally finalized the best time to go to the Snow Mountain, and the most likely time for the Ice Heart Jade Lotus to open.

However, the next thing happened that disrupted Lu Mansheng's plan.

As early as the end of September, the imperial dynasty sent two teams of officers and soldiers to Qixue Mountain. In previous years, only the southern slope of the snow-capped mountain was manned, but this year even another road is full of people.

After inquiring, I learned that there was a concubine Hu Niangniang in Yongxiu Palace this year, and Concubine Hu Niangniang was a princess of a certain tribe, and she was extremely beautiful.

After entering the palace, he soon got the favor of the saint~ lucky. Concubine Hu has a good nature, and she has to compete with the concubines everywhere. The three ice heart jade lotuses in Qixue Mountain are shared by the queen, the jade concubine and the concubine Chen every year. Although the emperor spoiled her, he didn't want to break this rule.

During this time, because of Concubine Hu, he has already neglected other palaces, and if he is biased in this matter, it will hurt the hearts of the women who have followed him for many years.

But this Concubine Hu won't be counted like this. After pestering the emperor for many days, being coquettish and behaving well, the emperor finally acquiesced to her ability to get the Ice Heart Jade Lotus in her own way.

A group of guards of Yongxiu Palace were sent to Qixue Mountain by Concubine Hu, and Concubine Hu's order was to let them capture the three Ice Heart Jade Lotus.

Not one, but three. This new delicate beauty has no meaning of humility and politeness at all.

After hearing the thoughts of the woman in Yongxiu Palace, the other ladies in the palace were angry and funny. Even if a woman in the palace is favored by the saint for a while, it is really rare to be arrogant like that. She is really a dignified Dayao Dynasty, is her small tribe that birds don't lay eggs and has never heard much of?

Princess? Hehe, nothing in their eyes.

Now that the emperor favors her, they tolerate her a little. Wait until the emperor gets tired of her, see how they clean her up!

However, it's one thing to endure her, and Bingxin Yulian and they won't back down. If they can't even compete with a little girl, Na Bai has been in the palace for so many years.

The four concubines are at a stalemate, everyone is bound to get the Ice Heart Jade Lotus, and no one else has a share?

After Lu Mansheng heard the news, he didn't have much of a surprise, if the Ice Heart Jade Lotus was so good, it would have been snatched away by others a long time ago. Then she doesn't need to think so much about it now.

It's just that the plan needs to be changed, and she can't even get close to Qixue Mountain by relying on her strength alone, let alone getting the Ice Heart Jade Lotus.

Lu Mansheng thought of Haohantang again, and the ability of the people in Haohantang to do things, she had seen it with her own eyes. I've already worked together once, and I'm very satisfied with each other in the last cooperation, and it's good to work together for the second time.

On the eve of Lu Mansheng's departure for Haohan Hall, a person broke into the ground room of the Fulai Inn and came to Lu Mansheng's room.

The tall back in the darkness bloomed in the moonlight, stood silently for a moment, and then left Lu Mansheng's room.

When Lu Mansheng came in from outside, he found that his room was crowded.

On the table in the inn room, there was a red cloth. It is slightly raised, like a small bun. Lu Mansheng stretched out his hand and opened it, and it was a dry white and yellow flower.

On the red cloth, there are also a few words written: Bingxin Yulian, rest assured to smile.

No matter how calm Lu Man's voice was, he couldn't help the consternation in his heart.

Who sent this? How did she know that she needed the Ice Heart Jade Lotus now? Also, why did he give her something so precious?

Lu Mansheng wrapped the things on the table and came downstairs.

"Xiaohuo, have you ever noticed someone entering my room?"

"The girl's room? Miss Lu, did you drop something? "Isn't there a thief in the inn? Miss Lu has lived in the Fulai Inn for more than half a year, and it is the first time she has made a thief.

"Not really." Lu Mansheng waved his hand to stop his excessive nervousness, "I'm just asking." ”

"I've been greeting guests in the lobby and haven't paid much attention."

"Are there any special people in the inn today?"

"Exceptional...... There are a few more doctors in the inn today, they should be here to participate in the apricot grove event, nothing special......"

Lu Mansheng didn't get any useful information from Xiaohuo, and when he went upstairs, Lu Mansheng kept thinking about this problem.

She came here and didn't know many people. And there are even fewer who can have the Ice Heart Jade Lotus and know that she needs the Ice Heart Jade Lotus at the moment.

Who is secretly watching her moves? Who sneaked into her room and put down this Ice Heart Jade Lotus?

The moment she opened the door, Lu Mansheng's eyes flashed with white light, and she remembered someone.

The shadow guards around Gong San, the master Meng Lingdong who came and went without a trace!

This Ice Heart Jade Lotus must have been given to her by Gong San, and only Meng Lingdong could do it so unknowingly, even the people in this inn didn't realize his arrival. But why did he do it?

Lu Mansheng held the rare treasure in his hand, his face lost in thought.
