I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

It was another early morning. The dry and cold air of winter was brought into the room by the palace servants coming in and out. Su Minglang opened his sleepy eyes and found that the seat beside him was already ice-cold.

Xiao Heng got up early in the morning to attend the morning court. He had been busy for half the night but he did not ask Su Minglang to get up and serve him.

When Xiaoye came in with the basin of water, Su Minglang was still half-dressed, and a patch of white could be vaguely seen.

After washing up, Su Minglang stood up, rubbing his sore waist. The bedding on the bed was in a mess.

"What time is it now?"

Xiao Ye put down the things in his hand and replied: "Madam, it's just the hour of Mao, it's still early, do you want to rest for a while?"

"No." Su Minglang touched her stomach which had been protesting for a long time and waved her hand. The bowl of sweet porridge last night finally went into Xiao Heng's stomach. She didn't have much dinner and was tortured by Xiao Heng again. She was almost starving to the point of seeing stars.

Xiao Ye obviously understood her situation. As soon as Su Minglang finished speaking, a palace maid came in with breakfast.

The breakfast at Linglong Palace was simple, a bowl of porridge with two side dishes, and some fruit or pastries. Su Minglang usually didn't eat much, so a bowl of porridge was enough, but today he had another bowl.

The bodies of the concubines in the harem are also one of the assets to win the emperor's heart, and no one will indulge in their appetite.

After breakfast, Su Minglang asked Nanxing to go out and find out the date of the Imperial Medical Bureau's assessment, while he watched Nian'er complete her homework.

Li Zhao passed her a note but never showed up. What he and Xiao Heng had been discussing made her curious and fearful.

However, this matter should have nothing to do with him, at least on the surface it certainly has nothing to do with him, otherwise Li Zhao would not be unwilling to say a word. After all, he still needs to borrow his place to accommodate Nian'er.

Su Minglang vaguely felt that this incident was related to the sudden appearance of a pack of wolves on the mountain, but her memory of this was not clear, and she didn't know what would happen.

Compared with these false speculations, Xiao Heng’s proposal last night is more worthy of deep consideration. What has happened recently is unprecedented, and Su Minglang doesn’t know which step he made wrong that led to the current situation.

She only knew that if she really replaced the Queen and stepped onto the Zen platform to pray for blessings, she would be the target of public criticism, no matter in the former court or the harem.

What will Xiao Heng do then?

According to his previous style of doing things, he would certainly not offend those nobles whom he cannot touch at present because of himself. By then, I am afraid that another storm will be stirred up.

but……

"Since Xiao Heng is determined to put me in an unjust position, I might as well go all the way!" A plan vaguely took shape in Su Minglang's mind, but the specific details still needed to wait until the assessment of the Imperial Medical Bureau was over.

"Empress." Nan Xing walked in, obviously bringing the answer she wanted.

Su Minglang glanced at Nian'er, told Xiaoye to keep a close eye on her, and then walked out with Nanxing.

"Your Highness, I have inquired clearly. The tentative date for the assessment is the 26th, which is four days later. There will be three rounds of assessment, and one person will be selected from each round to study at the Imperial Hospital."

"I will be promoted to a full-time doctor in three months. By then, I will be a full-fledged imperial physician."

"Four days later..." He adjusted himself, hesitated for a moment, nodded, and waved his hand to let Nanxing in.

As long as everything goes well in the assessment four days later, my plan can continue. It is meaningless to think about the probability of variables now. I can only wait for an answer, whether satisfactory or not.

"Xiao Ye." Su Minglang called out as he entered the room, "I miss the loquat candies from the east of the city. Go out of the palace today and buy some."

"Yes." Xiao Ye nodded and stood up to leave. Nian'er grabbed her and looked at Su Minglang with blinking eyes.

"My lady..."

"What's wrong?" He adjusted and looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"Brother Zhao used to bring me candied haws when he came to see me. He hasn't been here for a long time..." Nian'er stared at Su Minglang with her little eyes, looking so pitiful that Xiaoye's heart softened.

"Xiao Ye, bring a few back." Su Minglang looked helplessly at the smile on her face that she couldn't suppress, and turned around to give the order.

"Go to the Dali Temple and ask Li Zhao if there is any whereabouts of a man named Qi Zhongyuan. If there is, go meet him and give this to him." Su Minglang put a bracelet in a sachet and handed it to Xiao Ye, lowering his voice and saying, "This bracelet is not from the palace. Ask him to pawn it to get some money to live on."

"Also, send a five hundred tael silver note to Li Zhao. He knows who to give the money to."

"Tell Qi Zhongyuan to keep his distance from Li Zhao as much as possible. He is a senior executive and it is not appropriate for him to have close contact with the imperial physician."

"I understand." Xiao Ye said seriously, and then she took the jade token handed to her by Su Minglang and left.

Su Minglang glared at the little girl and turned and left.

"Nanxing, you stay in the palace to take care of it. I have to go to Kunning Palace."

Before Nan Xing could answer, Su Minglang had already walked out.

"Xiao Qing, Xiao He, come with me." Su Minglang ordered a few palace maids to accompany her, "Let's go to the storehouse first to see if there are any supplements to bring with us."

Xiao He gestured to Xiao Qing, walked over to Su Ming Lang and asked, "Madam, where are you going?"

"What kind of supplements should I prepare?"

"I have to go to Kunning Palace. As for any supplements, anything that replenishes qi and blood should be of some use." Su Minglang said.

"Yes." Xiaohe nodded and stepped back.

Su Minglang hadn't used them for a long time. Xiao He was a little worried that Su Minglang might have noticed something. However, after His Majesty replaced Li Peidong, Xiao Xizi did not take the initiative to contact them, so they didn't know what to do next.

Fortunately, Su Minglang finally started to use them today. Perhaps there will be something worth reporting from today's trip.

The sedan chair outside the palace gate had been prepared long ago, and the group marched towards Kunning Palace in a mighty procession. Occasionally, they met some concubines along the way, but only those with higher ranks than concubines in the palace were qualified to ride in the sedan chair. Even Su Minglang's sedan chair was a special favor granted by His Majesty.

The concubines passing by could only envy, and not only that, they had to stop and pay their respects.

Su Minglang closed her eyes and rested all the way, and soon arrived at Kunning Palace. The palace gate was still closed as usual. The guards standing outside the door were already familiar with Su Minglang, and they went in to pass on the message before she even said a word.

Xiao He couldn't help but frown when he saw this, but soon returned to normal.

Grandpa Shuangxi came out quickly and greeted us with a smile on his face.

"Your servant Shuangxi pays respects to Empress Zhaoyi. May the Empress be blessed with good health and good health."
