Traveling through the millennium: creating a prosperous dynasty with you

The ministers had almost finished eating, and Defu ordered the palace maids to remove the tableware and serve tea and snacks.

The officials of the Imperial Hospital were not of high enough rank, and the Emperor had granted them special permission to come tonight. They were almost so obsessed with the delicious food that they forgot about their business. After dinner, they had a chance to ask. After asking the Emperor, they stood up and walked to Xu Zhen's table and bowed deeply. Xu Zhen was shocked. He asked them, "What do you mean?"

"We are the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital. We admire your medical skills and have the courage to come and ask if you would like to accept us as your disciples."

Xu Zhen was surprised: "That won't work. I only know the basics. I don't need to become your disciple. If you want to know anything, I can tell you everything I know."

"We can't learn the young lady's skills for nothing. We are willing to exchange our own unique secret recipe with the young lady."

"The purpose of studying medicine is to save lives and heal the wounded. I can teach you all my medical skills for free, so that medicine can flourish and more patients can be cured."

"Miss Xu is truly righteous, and we admire her. We are willing to follow her lead and contribute our own meager efforts to the advancement of medicine."

"It is a blessing for the court and the people to have doctors like you who are highly skilled and selfless. When we have some free time, we can organize a medical exchange meeting so that we can learn from each other."

"This is a very good idea. We are willing to follow Miss Xu's arrangements."

"Okay, I'll let you know when it's arranged."

"Yes, please excuse me for being so abrupt. I will take my leave first."

Xu Zhen nodded, and several imperial doctors turned to the emperor to indicate that they had a good harvest. The emperor was also happy for them, waved his hand, and let them go back.

An Chen was somewhat dissatisfied. It was not a good thing for a little woman to be too capable. If he had to go to her for everything, what would he do if she got exhausted?

Xu Zhen didn't see An Chen's tangled expression. She quietly asked An Chen, "Aren't there always singing and dancing performances at palace banquets? Why is it so deserted today? The emperor's wives didn't come, and the ministers didn't bring their families with them?"

"The treasury has been empty in recent years, and we have saved all the money we can. It also saves us a lot of trouble."

"Yes, it seems that the emperor is also very good!"

While the two were talking, a maid was pouring tea for Xu Zhen. The maid who was pouring tea for An Chen turned around and bumped into her. Her hand shook and the tea spilled on Xu Zhen's clothes. An Chen pushed the maid away distressedly and went over to ask Xu Zhen if she was hurt.

Xu Zhen: "It's OK. Luckily I was leaning sideways when I was talking to you, so it only spilled a little on the hem of my clothes."

An Chen called the housekeeper, and the maid fell to her knees in fear, begging for mercy. The housekeeper brought four eunuchs to take the two maids away. She personally took Xu Zhen to change clothes. Xu Zhen always felt that the housekeeper's eyes were suspicious when she looked at the maid who was sprinkling water just now, so she refused to go. An Chen was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she also advised her to change clothes. The movement here attracted the attention of the emperor and the ministers. An Chen stood up and pulled Xu Zhen up to explain the situation to the emperor. After staying in the palace for decades, the emperor was very tired of some of the tricks that could not be put on the table.

"This place is not far from Fengyi Palace. Take Miss Xu to your mother's palace to change clothes. Your mother was still talking about you in the afternoon."

After the two men left the hall, the emperor sent someone to investigate what had just happened. Defu saw that the emperor was already tired, so he raised his hand to help the emperor go back to rest. All the ministers stood up and respectfully saw the emperor off.

In the imperial study, the emperor asked the secret guard to bring up several surveillance cameras and watch them carefully one by one. It was discovered that the maid who poured the tea was called aside by a young eunuch before delivering the water. It was unknown what was said. When the maid came back, she looked a little nervous and put a purse in her sleeve.

At this time, a eunuch came to report, and the emperor asked him to go in and reply.

"Your Majesty, a bag of silver was found on the maid, and she said it was given to her by a young eunuch. She didn't know the young eunuch, and the young eunuch told her to just sprinkle the tea on the goddess' clothes. Her family member was sick and in urgent need of silver, so she took the silver and sprinkled the water."

"Has the young eunuch been found?"

"The maid said it was dark and she couldn't see his face clearly."

"Hmph! Did the housekeeper check?"

"Someone saw her going to Concubine Hui."

"Continue to check"

After the eunuch left, the secret guard flashed out and told the emperor that Prince Chen had just sent two people over. They were placed under the surveillance behind the imperial study. They were the young eunuch and the housekeeper aunt.

"It seems that Chen'er has already noticed it. You should investigate this matter yourself. You actually dared to plot against the goddess. You are so bold."

"Yes." The secret guard took the order and disappeared.

Defu handed the emperor a glass of water and advised: "Your Majesty, calm down. The goddess is very powerful. No one can hurt her. Besides, Prince Chen is protecting her. You can rest assured. I heard that Prince Hao went to the palace of Concubine Rong. He came here so late, so he must be preparing to leave the capital tomorrow morning."

"How are they doing at night?"

"There are donations, more or less, and the specific amount will be prepared when we return."

"Humph! A bunch of old foxes."

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince was not present. It was only Patriarch Qian who led the way."

"Oh? Where did the third brother go?"

"I heard there's a new girl in the mansion. Prince Hao has been accompanying her these past few days."

The emperor was so angry that he raised his hand, but suddenly remembered that his hand hurt from the clapping at noon, so he silently put his hand down and asked angrily: "What girl is so important? It's only been a few years, and the old problem has come back. It's true that a dog can't change its eating habits."

"Your Majesty, calm down. Perhaps they have something to discuss. Since the Third Prince has taken the initiative to raise food, there will be some arrangements in the next few days. Your Majesty, just wait patiently."

"Are you still in the palace?"

"Send someone to ask?"

"No need. Just keep an eye on him these few days."

"Yes"

In Rong Fei's palace, the Third Prince came over just after the meal was taken away. Rong Fei asked him to sit down and wait. Rong Fei's trusted maid came back to report: "Madam, it's done. Miss Xu has come out."

When the Third Prince heard this, he stood up excitedly and said, "Mother, I'll be there right away."

Concubine Rong nodded, and the third prince sneaked out.

The ministers of the previous dynasty were almost gone, and Concubine Rong asked her trusted nanny to go and see how the third prince was doing. As soon as she walked out of Concubine Rong's yard, she was knocked unconscious and taken away.

Rong Fei waited and waited but no one came back. Just as she was about to send someone out, someone at the door announced that the emperor had arrived. The emperor had not come to her palace for many days. Rong Fei's heart skipped a beat and she felt that something was wrong. She hurried to greet the emperor.

"My beloved concubine, please stand up. Hao'er is hosting a banquet tonight for merchants in the capital to donate grain for the people. I am very pleased. Hao'er is so outstanding because you discipline him well."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. As the prince of An State, it is only natural for Hao'er to contribute to the people."

"Since I ascended the throne, your Qian family has helped me solve problems. Especially during the epidemic in recent years, the Qian family sent money, food, and medicine to save countless people for my country. I thank the Qian family from the bottom of my heart."

When Concubine Rong heard the emperor say this, she became even more nervous. "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? You've treated the Qian family well, so they should be grateful."
