Chapter 129: The Messenger

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day Tang Xu arrived at the Imperial Medical Hall about half an hour late, and before going out, he still did not forget to tell Xiaocui not to have too much contact with Tang Ru, and when he just entered the courtyard of the medical hall, an apprentice came up to greet him.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." The apprentice said.

"I see, thanks." After hearing this, Tang Xu quickened his pace and went to the house, and when he entered the door, he saw Zhou An sitting in the guest seat in the hall drinking tea.

"Father-in-law Zhou, it's rude to be late." Tang Xu gave up his hand to Zhou An.

"What did Imperial Doctor Tang say, it's the slave who came early." Zhou An put down the tea in his hand and greeted Tang Xu with a smile on his face.

"What's the matter with Gonggong Zhou coming to find the lower officials?" Tang Xu gave Zhou An a seat and asked the apprentice to bring some more snacks and tea.

"Don't eat snacks, go with the slave maid, the emperor wants to see you." Zhou An excused himself, Tang Xu didn't dare to slack off when he heard that the emperor had summoned him, so he picked up the medicine box and prepared to set off.

"There's no need for this, the emperor is in good health, but he just said that he wanted to see Imperial Doctor Tang." Zhou An smiled and helped Tang Xu unload the medicine box from his shoulder.

"I see, then Father-in-law, let's go." Tang Xu nodded and Zhou An walked out of the Imperial Medical Pavilion and went straight to the emperor's bedroom.

"I don't know why His Majesty summoned the lower officials today?" Tang Xu remembered that the emperor asked him to eat last time, but he didn't eat well, but he saw the emperor crying. However, the emperor said that he would discuss the matter again at the end of next month, and hoped that nothing would happen today that would catch people off guard.

"I don't know about this slave, but the emperor seems to be in a good mood." Zhou An's reply made Tang Xu breathe a sigh of relief.

The two rushed to the emperor's bedroom, Tang Xu was waiting outside the door, Zhou An went in to report, and after a while, Zhou An came out to let Tang Xu in.

"Weichen Tang Xu see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!" Tang Xu crossed the high threshold and kowtowed to the stone who was sitting upright.

"Tang Aiqing, let's get even." Shi Chonggui really looked kind.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Tang Xu bowed again, he got up and lowered his hand and bowed his head to the side. The emperor gave him to sit down and talk to him.

"Tang Aiqing, I don't have anything important to see you today, I just want to ask if you went to see Feng Yu yesterday, how is Feng Yu's health?" Shi Chonggui asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, Feng Shilang is still in good health, but he is a little tired, and it will be fine to recuperate for a few days." Tang Xu recited the fold presented to the emperor yesterday.

"That's very good." Shi Chonggui smiled and nodded.

"Your Majesty, Feng Yu, the head of the household, asks to see you." At this time, Zhou An came in from outside to report. Tang Xu secretly wondered, he only saw a doctor yesterday and came to see him today, which was too deliberate. I don't know what he's up to.

"I wanted to ask him how he was doing, let him in." Shi Chonggui replied, and after Zhou An withdrew from the order, Feng Yu immediately walked in.

"Feng Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, sit down quickly." Shi Chonggui's attitude towards Feng Yu was very close, and Feng Yu sat down after thanking him.

"Feng Aiqing, Tang Aiqing went to see you yesterday, and now your health is better?" Shi Chonggui asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is grateful for His Majesty's concern, and the minister took the prescription prescribed by the Tang Imperial Doctor, and he felt much refreshed when he got up this morning." Feng Yu praised Tang Xu's excellent medical skills, and also said many details of yesterday's consultation and pulse, which seemed to be trying his best to prove that the patient Tang Xu saw yesterday was himself.

"That's very good." Shi Chonggui was very satisfied, but still said something like Feng Aiqing's poor complexion and needed more recuperation.

"It is the duty of Weichen to share worries for the emperor, and Weichen's medical skills are shallow, Feng Shilang is really overrated." Tang Xu pushed on the surface, but in his heart, he was almost sure that the incident of encountering the fake Feng Yu yesterday was what Feng Yu himself meant. And seeing that he is emotionally stable and talks freely, it doesn't look like he was forced to say this.

However, Feng Yu's complexion looked a little more gloomy than when he met him at the gate of the palace a few days ago, no wonder the emperor was worried that he was sick and asked him to go for treatment.

"Imperial Doctor Tang is the first divine doctor of my dynasty, so there is no need to be too humble." Feng Yu thought that he had succeeded in hiding from Tang Xu, and he was in a good mood, and proposed that the emperor give Tang Xu a lot of rewards. This remark is in line with Shi Chonggui's mind, so he passed on someone to write a commendation document.

"Feng Aiqing is not in good health, so there is no need to serve here, go back and rest early." Li Mingyuan, the person in Shi Chonggui's view, remembered that a few days ago he had asked him to write an edict to send officials back to Beijing, so he immediately sent everyone out after Li Mingyuan received the decree.

"Weichen obeys the order, and please take care of your body." Feng Yu did not doubt that he was there, and knelt down to thank him and left the palace, and Zhou An and Li Mingyuan also left together.

"Tang Aiqing, have you heard any voices from the court recently?" Shi Chonggui turned his eyes back to look at the door.

"Your Majesty means?" Shi Chonggui's sudden questioning made Tang Xu confused, and then he thought that maybe he was referring to the recall of hundreds of officials to discuss the relationship with the Khitan. But Tang Xu didn't pay much attention to this matter, he had too many things to do, and history is history, every time he thought that he would face these historical events in textbooks, it felt particularly unreal.

"Hey." Shi Chonggui sighed, Tang Xu thought that he had said the wrong thing and didn't dare to speak out again.

"Actually, I'm also very nervous, and I've been very suspicious lately. I knew that no one would know the intention of bringing back the officials, but I still felt as if they were all scared of me because of this incident. Shi Chonggui continued.

"No one else knows about this matter, and Weichen thinks that Your Majesty is thinking too much, so he can't rest assured." Tang Xu followed his words and said.

"But Zhou An and Feng Yu, and even Zhang Zhi of the Imperial Medical Pavilion seem to be..." Shi Chonggui thought about it carefully, and there didn't seem to be any conclusive evidence, but he always felt in his heart that these people had become a little strange in both speaking and acting.

"Tang Aiqing, I am your confidant, except for you, I don't seem to be able to find anyone who can tell the truth." Shi Chonggui told Tang Xu all his guesses or suspicions.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Your Majesty is really careless. Your Majesty has never mentioned this to anyone, and I have not told anyone. If it weren't for the gods who looked up at the heavens and the geography from below, no one would know the reason behind this incident. Tang Xu comforted Shi Chonggui, Shi Chonggui smiled bitterly, and said that he was probably too worried, so he was so suspicious.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much, everything is man-made." Tang Xu wanted to say don't be reluctant, let it be. But how can such words be said in front of an emperor who is worried about the survival of the country.

"Tang Aiqing, I am deeply gratified to have your support by my side." A smile gradually appeared on Shi Chonggui's face.

"Your Majesty trusts Weichen so much, and the minister is ashamed." Tang Xu said.

"Tang Aiqing, are you willing to be an envoy for me to go to the Khitan?" Shi Chonggui asked.
