"Girl, it's time to drink the medicine." Cheng Lingxiu put down the wolf pen in her hand, and looked back at Mama Gui who was walking, "Girl, it's a good day today, you can go around the yard." "Mama Gui is about to put it on the table of the Eight Immortals, and then clean up the house.

Cheng Lingxiu sighed, thanked sweetly, and Mama Gui's wrinkled face smiled and praised: "You girl is sweet-mouthed, tell you good news, starting from tomorrow, there will be a grandmother from the Internal Affairs Office to teach you to write etiquette, the Queen Mother has given grace and authorized you to stay in the palace to serve around, you have to learn etiquette well, and if you win the favor of the Queen Mother in the future, you will be able to live a good life." ”

Cheng Lingxiu's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, but then he calmed down and said gloomily: "I originally wanted to avenge my grandfather, but now I have revenge, my wish has been fulfilled, even if Lingxiu dies at the moment, I can look at it, and I don't think much about it." ”

Mama Gui frowned and said slightly: "Silly girl, what are you talking about?" What doesn't die? The Queen Mother takes pity on your life experience, and the Huang Yuan sentenced you to be an old friend with your grandfather, so you have this grace, and you have to do your best to serve the Queen Mother, do you know the way? Cheng Lingxiu smiled slyly, nodded obediently, and then drank a bowl of medicine.

After a while, Cheng Lingxiu and Mama Gui were about to take a walk in the courtyard, but Huang Jingci suddenly came to visit, and had to come into the house to sit down and talk.

Huang Jingci's complexion is good, he doesn't have the solemn look of a few days ago, Cheng Lingxiu is smart and knows that since the Empress Dowager has given herself grace, even Huang Jingci has been spared. After sitting down, Huang Jingci said with a smile: "How is the pulse today?" Have you cut your own pulse? ”

Cheng Lingxiu nodded and said, "Back to your old words, I have already cut it." No big deal. ”

Huang Jingci snorted, took out a box of plasters from his arms and said, "This is the secret recipe of the Great Inner Pearl Beauty Balm, which is the most effective for removing scars and old scars." Although you can't see the scars on your shoulders, you will inevitably let your husband see them after you get married in the future, so it's better to wipe them more and fade them down. ”

Cheng Lingxiuxiu's face turned red, and Mama Gui frowned and said, "Huang Yuan judged, people are still yellow flower girls, what crazy things are you talking about." ”

Huang Jingci smiled and said: "When the old man was in charge, he and this girl's grandfather were also brothers. Now Brother Tieqiao is driving to the west, Lingxiu is lonely, and the old man takes care of her granddaughter. The old man is also a person, and it is not bad to have a granddaughter who will retire in the future, and the grandfather and granddaughter don't have to see each other like this. Speaking of this, he looked at Cheng Lingxiu and smiled: "Lingxiu, are you willing?" ”

Cheng Lingxiu blinked wide-eyed. Hurriedly got up and bowed down: "This is Lingxiu's blessing." Naturally, I am very willing. ”

Huang Jingci smiled, in a good mood, and then Cheng Lingxiu asked Mama Gui to put out refreshments, so that Huang Jingci sat on the main seat, and he kowtowed to the tea.

Then Huang Jingci took Cheng Lingxiu to the courtyard for a walk, and said while walking: "You girl is smart-minded, but you also know that you buried the important evidence wine pot under the tree, if it wasn't for Li Ding, this young man digging in your house that day." I may not be able to find you yet, which shows that there is a certain number in the dark. ”

Cheng Lingxiu's eyes turned red and said, "Grandpa's death is unknown." Lingxiu naturally wanted to seek justice for him, but Brother Li Ding didn't know anything, and he also said that our family had encountered a thief. ”

Huang Jingci sighed: "In the past few days, the body of the Empress Dowager Jing has been worse than one day at a time, that is, it has been a matter of these days, although our Tai Hospital has a doctor on duty there every day, but there is always a difference between men and women, your medical skills are good, although you are not a person from the Tai Hospital, but you are always a daughter, and sometimes it is more convenient to take care of these women in the palace." Ming'er began to learn the etiquette in the palace, and later he might go to the Empress Dowager to serve her, which is what the Empress Dowager meant. ”

Cheng Lingxiu didn't know who the Empress Dowager Lu Dao was, and when she asked, she learned that Lu Dao was the biological mother of Prince Gong and Prince Alcohol, and she had been taking care of Xianfeng's concubine Jinghuang, and after Xianfeng's death, she was honored as the Empress Dowager, but her body was weaker than a day.

followed Cheng Lingxiu and said to Huang Jing: "Grandpa Huang, I have something I want to entrust to Brother Li Ding." ”

Huang Jingci smiled and said, "What? Sending something to your brother Li again? ”

Cheng Lingxiu smiled shyly and nodded, and Huang Jing said: "Li Ding has a life-saving grace for you, and you should send more things to repay, but you still remember that you can't communicate with the outside world, just send some silver taels and objects, and you can't take it out with a few words." ”

Cheng Lingxiu replied: "Lingxiu knows what to do." ”

Huang Jingci hummed and said, "You give me the things, and I'll send them to you later." ”

Cheng Lingxiu said happily: "Thank you Grandpa Huang." He immediately returned to the house and handed a bag of things to Huang Jingci. After Huang Jingci took the things, he told Cheng Lingxiu a few words and then went back to the hospital.

When he arrived in his own study of Detai Hospital, Huang Jingci opened the baggage, but saw that the bag was a pair of cotton shoes and some scattered silver, which were all given to Cheng Lingxiu by himself.

Two days later, the things were sent to Chengde, after Li Ding received it, he immediately gathered in the house with Zhao Jia, Liu Yi and others, Li Ding tore open the soles of the cotton shoes, but there was a secret letter hidden inside, and when he opened it to see that the inside was something that had happened in the palace recently, when he saw Cheng Lingxiu said that the Queen Mother did not plan to kill people, Li Ding's tense face finally relaxed.

Liu Yi smiled: "Look at you like this, I'm worried that both words are written on your face." ”

Li Ding frowned and said, "Can you not be worried?" Ah Xiu is a dangerous move, with the idea of not entering the tiger's den to get the tiger, she was not injured and sentenced to the hospital to go to Xingzai, and was later taken back to the capital. She knew the real cause of the death of the Dao Dog Emperor, this was a very secret thing, and one would really be killed if she was not careful. ”

Zhao Jia touched the goatee and said: "This little girl went with the belief that she would die, and in order to avenge her grandfather, she did not hesitate to give out her secrets, and she was also a person of great wisdom, courage and filial piety." Now that I think about it, it is also a dangerous move, but I didn't expect that the people from the Tai Hospital would find out about the Cheng family, it seems that the people in the palace are really not simple. ”

Liu Yi said: "Yes, fortunately, Li Ding saw the opportunity to act at that time, and the people from the Tai Hospital and Father-in-law Na An didn't have any suspicions about us, and Miss Cheng was also willing to enter the palace to do this undercover work in consideration of the overall situation, so we could send someone to get in, otherwise it would take us to wait until what year and month those people we placed in the palace to do miscellaneous servants, small servants, and Sula to come forward." Now it's okay, Miss Cheng will go to the Queen Mother's side at once, and she will definitely get more news. ”

Li Ding frowned and said: "I'm still a little worried about her, she is a little girl, and she has not undergone formal training, fortunately, these news are all found out from Huang Jingci, this Huang Yuan is a good doctor, but she has no scheming, and she can't detect anything, but what she has to face later is the fairy characters of the Qing Demon Queen Mother, so she is afraid of being seen." ”

Zhao Jia patted him on the shoulder and said: "The little girl is smart, last time it was a small hat, this time it was a pair of cotton shoes, all of them are sandwiched in the letters, in the future, she will be favored by the Empress Dowager of the Qing Demon, and she will be able to enter and exit freely like the eunuch of Na'an, what are you worried about?" Then he paused and said: "It's inconvenient for us to send news in Chengde, I plan to open a pharmacy in the capital, first, to raise some funds, second, to hide people's eyes, and third, to get closer, and the news will come and go faster." ”

Liu Yi nodded and said, "That's right, it's just why we want to open a pharmacy?" ”

Zhao Jia said with a smile: "Miss Cheng is proficient in medical skills, and Huang Yuanju is also a person from Tai Hospital, so there will be more movement between us when we open a pharmacy and them, so it is more convenient to hide people's eyes and ears." Then it's decided, we will move to the capital as soon as possible, Adin, you bring a message to Miss Cheng, just say that we plan to come to the capital to open a pharmacy, ask her to take a lot of pictures, Huang Jingci is a person from the Tai Hospital, we can offer a few prescriptions for the life-saving hall to win his trust, so that it will be convenient to act. ”

A few days later, Li Ding's reply came to Huang Jingci's hands, not that Huang Jingci wanted to see it, when the postman brought the letter to the road, it encountered heavy rain on the road, and the letter was wet, Huang Jingci had to open it to dry, seeing that Li Ding said some words of thanks on it, and finally just said that he wanted to come to the capital to open a pharmacy, and asked Cheng Lingxiu to find a good shop with Huang Yuanju, and said that there were a few family medicine prescriptions that were useless and could be used as icing on the cake for Huang Yuanju.

Huang Jingci felt that this favor could help, and he was also compiling the medical book of the Daqing Tai Hospital recently, and he also needed to collect more folk prescriptions. At that moment, Huang Jingci took the letter into the palace to see Cheng Lingxiu and told him the reason.

Cheng Lingxiu also knew that Li Ding would not say any secrets in this kind of letter, but he originally thought that it was a little difficult to ask Huang Jingci to help, but seeing that Huang Jingci seemed to be willing to help, he also saved from lobbying.

So Huang Jingci found a shop in the Xijiang Rice Lane in the capital, this Jiangmi Lane was originally the end of the Caoyun Land, there were many merchants, and it was also very convenient to traffic in medicinal materials. This Jiangmi Lane was broken into two halves in the Ming Dynasty, the east is the Dongjiang Rice Lane, now it is the place of the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple and the Huitong Hall, but it mainly only receives the envoys from the four vassal states such as Annam, Mongolia, Korea, and Burma, so the Huitong Pavilion is also called the "Siyi Pavilion", and the Xijiang Rice Lane is mostly the place where the merchants of Cao Yun are concentrated, and there are many shops, warehouses, markets, etc., it is also a very lively place. Dongjiang Rice Lane later became the famous Dongjiaomin Lane in Beijing, which was the place where embassies of various countries were concentrated.

A few days later, Zhao Jia, Li Ding and others came to the capital, and Huang Jingci was naturally very grateful, so he paid two silver to rent the shop, and opened a medicine shop, and at the same time Li Ding presented a few secret recipes collected by the people, Huang Jingci is a famous doctor in the world, and he knew the beauty at a glance, and immediately loved it, and told a few people to send it to him if they found such a secret recipe again.

In this way, Bai Zetang Zhili finally gained a firm foothold in the capital, and he also got on the line with the people in the palace. Later, Huang Jingci also took care of this pharmacy, and when the palace bought medicinal materials, he also gave some shares to Zhao Jia, and Zhao Jia and others could also send medicine into the palace, and Cheng Lingxiu also often went in and out of the Tai Hospital, and the news that Cheng Lingxiu could hear in the Qing Palace was continuously sent to the south through these channels.
