"I have brought the doctor you wanted. Now can you tell me what you are going to do?" Lord Su walked up to Su Minglang with a middle-aged man and pointed at the person next to him and asked.

"Father, why are you in such a hurry?" Su Minglang glanced at the doctor and said, "He's just a doctor anyway. What does he mean to you, father?"

"Su Minglang! Who told you to speak in such a sarcastic tone?" Su's father was furious. He had disliked this daughter since she was a child, and now she was talking back to him in a few words and didn't take him as her father seriously at all.

"You are a good daughter taught by your mother! You have no respect for your elders!"

"You have no respect for your elders?" Su Minglang raised his eyes as if he had heard a huge joke, "What is respect, what is elder?"

"Father, have you forgotten that I am now His Majesty's concubine? Just like in the imperial palace, I am the ruler and you are the subject." Su Minglang raised her eyebrows and looked at him, with undisguised sarcasm in her eyes. "Father has been an official for so many years, I'm afraid he has even forgotten the rules."

"Do we have to kneel down and kowtow to know respect and inferiority?"

"You!" Father Su pointed at her angrily, and the finger hanging in the air was trembling slightly because of anger.

"Okay, just say less!" Madam Su hurriedly handed him a cup of tea to calm him down, and looked at Su Minglang disapprovingly: "After all, this is your father, how can you talk like that!"

Su Minglang didn't say anything. Seeing that she didn't say anything, Su's father started to show off again. He pushed Su's mother away and pointed at her nose and scolded: "What's wrong with me saying a few words to her? It's only been a short time since she left the house. I'm afraid she even forgot her last name! Look at the good daughter you spoiled!"

"Have you finished talking?" Su Minglang interrupted their conversation coldly and pointed at the doctor beside him and said, "If you have finished, I will take you away."

"No!" Father Su stopped her, "If you don't explain clearly, you can't go anywhere today."

"Okay!" Su Minglang nodded and turned to leave, "Then let grandpa send the person over to me!"

"What's going on? Why are you making so much noise!" Old Master Su walked in headfirst. Su Minglang stopped and stood aside when he saw him coming.

As soon as Mr. Su entered the room, he frowned and glared at Su's father, then turned around and bowed to Su Minglang, "This old minister pays his respects to the Empress Zhaoyi.

"I have brought the person you want. You can take him back."

A girl following behind him came up to him with a smile as soon as she saw Su Minglang, "Sister Lang, do you still remember me? I'm Rong'er."

"Su Xinrong?" Su Minglang asked uncertainly. Given her previous status in the Su family, most of these sisters didn't interact with her much, so she was not very familiar with them.

Su Xinrong is the second daughter of her uncle. After the eldest daughter got married a few years ago, her uncle has been busy arranging her marriage, but she just doesn't like anyone. Her uncle also really loves this daughter and thinks that since she is still young, he will let her do whatever she wants.

But what did her grandfather bring her here for? Su Minglang knew without thinking that it was because she had lost her ability to bear children. Although Xiao Heng promised her that he would give her a child, a child born by an outsider could not be as good as her own flesh and blood. The Su family just couldn't wait to find someone to replace themselves.

"Sister, do you still remember Rong'er?" Su Xinrong happily held Su Minglang's hand and said, "I haven't seen sister for so long. It seems that sister must be living very comfortably in the palace. His Majesty treats sister very well! Poor second uncle, he misses sister all day long, and sister refuses to come back to see him."

Everyone knows that Su Minglang lost her fertility because of the struggle in the palace. She came up and said that she was living well in the palace and that she refused to go home. Isn't she saying that Su Minglang had fallen in love with the palace and was no longer on the same page with the Su family?

"Sister is really..." Su Minglang frowned suddenly and took a few steps back to distance himself from her, "No rules!"

"Is this what your uncle taught you? It's totally unbecoming. Didn't you see that my grandfather always bowed to me when he saw me? Who allowed you to call me sister?"

"It's fine to say this in private, but if it gets to the emperor, I'm afraid people will say that the Su family has rebellious intentions!"

Su Minglang's words were too harsh. Old Master Su's face darkened instantly. He stared at Su Xinrong calmly and stopped her behind him. "Please forgive me, Empress Zhaoyi. The little girl is ignorant."

"Not young at all." Su Minglang laughed and said, "If I remember correctly, Xinrong is only about half a year younger than me, right?"

You see, one has entered the palace and learned how to please everyone, while the other is still like a child, ignorant and trying to be clever.

Su Minglang was not only laughing at Old Man Su's failure to judge people, but also at the way the world played tricks on people, with the same people having different destinies.

"Father, she..." Father Su couldn't help it. He didn't get the upper hand over her just now. Now he was being sarcastic to her. Even a clay Buddha would be angry. What's more, he couldn't stand such provocation from the juniors. At this moment, he was furious.

Old Master Su glared at her fiercely and did not respond to Su Minglang's words. Su Minglang looked at them standing together like a family, the smile on her lips faded, and she turned around and left without any reluctance.

The doctor watched the show and when he saw Su Minglang was about to leave, he hurriedly followed her.

"Your Majesty, I wonder who you want to see me for treatment?" The doctor couldn't stand the silence along the way and asked bravely.

"You'll know when the time comes." Su Minglang glanced at him and stopped, "Doctor, may I know your name?"

"My surname is Qian." The doctor bowed hurriedly and did not dare to look up.

"Doctor Qian, I hope you remember that after you leave my place, you must forget everything you have seen."

"If I suddenly remember something..." Su Minglang said nothing, walked forward and faced Li Zhao.

The moment the two men passed each other, Li Zhao drew his sword and placed it across the doctor's neck. Doctor Qian's legs instantly went limp and he fell to his knees on the ground with a plop.

"Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me! I will definitely forget everything, Your Majesty, please spare me!"

Su Minglang nodded, and Li Zhao put down the long sword but did not take it back. Instead, he let the long sword sway in front of people with a silver glow.

Su Minglang knew that he was trying to scare him, so she didn't stop him. "Get up. As long as you do your job well, I won't treat you unfairly."

"But the Su family..."

"Don't worry, madam. No matter what you want me to do, I will just say I am here to get you some medicine to calm your nerves."

"very good."
