The rural doctor bought a husband who was very treacherous

"Your Highness looks pretty good today." When Su Tang saw the Second Prince again, the Second Prince was practicing a set of boxing in the yard.

The smooth and flowing movements seemed to show no strength, but it was also the longest time he had practiced in all these years.

"I've also consulted the imperial physician, and he said that my body could use more exercise to help it recover."

"Yes, but don't overwork yourself. You're not fully recovered yet, so there's no need to rush."

The second prince took the handkerchief handed to him by the servant beside him and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Yes, I know, I just went over the movements briefly in the morning without using much force.

By the way, I heard that Xie Simin is causing trouble for you?"

Xie Simin is the girl from the Xie family who had a conflict with Su Tang in Linglong Pavilion a few days ago. She is the eldest daughter of the Xie family's eldest branch and has always been domineering. She is the person that all the women in Beijing avoid and don't like to interact with.

However, she and Xie Simin only had a small conflict, so how come it has become known to everyone now?

Su Tang glanced at Chunmei who was following behind her. Before Chunmei could say anything, the Second Prince had already explained with a smile, "Don't look at her. They are very tight-lipped now. Even when I asked them questions, they refused to say a word."

Chunmei knelt down immediately after hearing this, but said nothing.

"Okay, get up. Your Highness doesn't mean to punish you. I guess no one likes to keep someone who betrays their master."

"Hahaha, my royal sister has a very powerful tongue, as if I have bullied your servant."

The Second Prince and Su Tang walked into the house, chatting and laughing. After entering the room, the Second Prince washed his hands, then picked up a scroll from the table beside him and handed it to Su Tang.

"what is this?"

"Aren't you looking for a map of Kyoto? See if it's the one you want."

Su Tang opened the scroll, which showed the layout of the mansions and streets of the entire Kyoto.

Although the drawing method is a bit crude, the markings are very clear.

Xie Xiang’s mansion was surprisingly very close to the imperial palace and was quite large in size.

Su Tang also found the mansion of Duke Dingguo and the newly-awarded Prince Qi's Mansion on it.

"Where are we now? Where is the Plum Courtyard?" Su Tang quickly scanned the map, but did not find any markings for the Plum Courtyard and the Second Prince's Mansion.

"This is Plum Courtyard. We are here now." The second prince pointed to Su Tang one by one.

"The Xie family's mansion is bigger than your place."

"Humph, Prime Minister Xie and Empress Xie are not just for show." The second prince threw the handkerchief he used to wipe his hands on the table. "But don't worry, my sister. Father still has feelings for Mother. I'm sure that when you see me in the future, you will miss Mother. My sister should use this opportunity to regain Father's favor."

"Yeah." Su Tang just responded softly.

However, Su Tang was not so naive that she really thought that she could make the emperor look at her differently by relying on a concubine who had died many years ago.

What's more, if Concubine Su was really important in Emperor Jing's heart, how could she be killed by Empress Xie?

The friendship of emperors is actually the most unreliable.

Su Tang narrowed her eyes slightly, a shrewd look flashed in her eyes as she said, "I am not like other princesses and princes, who have been enjoying the emperor's favor all year round. My relationship with him is definitely not as stable as that of other princes and princesses."

She was well aware of the complexity and cruelty of the palace. If she wanted to survive in this treacherous environment, she must have enough wisdom and means.

If she wanted to be valued by Emperor Jing, she could only rely on her own abilities to gain more benefits and status.

The Second Prince's health was getting better and better with Su Tang's treatment, and his complexion looked obviously different from before.

During this period, Emperor Jing summoned the Second Prince once, and was very pleased to learn that a master was treating the Second Prince.

After all, the imperial doctors in the palace have already concluded that the second prince is weak and will not live long.

Now, there is actually someone who can cure the second prince. This doctor is better than all the imperial doctors. Emperor Jingdi feels that he must meet such a talent. Of course, it would be best if he could be recruited into the palace to ensure the health of him, the concubines, and the princes in the palace.

“Father, that Doctor Su comes from the common people, and you know that these doctors are somewhat special.

I have told her before that I would recommend her to the Imperial Medical Bureau, but she said that she prefers to treat difficult and complicated diseases and does not like to be confined to a small world. "The second prince lowered his head and looked up at Emperor Jing who was sitting on the throne.

Emperor Jing's expression did not change when he heard this, but he still snorted and said, "Well, when you recover, you should invite him to the palace to meet him."

"Yes." The second prince replied.

"Your Majesty, Duke Dingguo and Prince Qi request to see you." At this time, the eunuch's report came from outside the palace.

Emperor Jing glanced at the Second Prince and waved his hand at him, "Then you should go back and rest first."

After the second prince left, the eunuch outside the palace led Duke Dingguo and Qi Lingheng into the hall.

"Hehe, you and your son, why did you think of seeing me today?"

There was no war, so Emperor Jing pardoned Duke Dingguo and Prince Qi so that they no longer had to attend court every day.

In fact, he didn't want to see Duke Dingguo and Qi Lingheng in the palace every day, as it always reminded him of the fact that he had raided their house before.

"Your Majesty, I am your humble servant." Duke Dingguo and Qi Lingheng bowed to Emperor Jing together.

"No thanks, no thanks. We are not outside, there is no need for so many etiquettes." Emperor Jing smiled and asked the eunuchs to bring soft stools over for Duke Dingguo and others.

"Tell me, what's the matter that brings you here?" Emperor Jing smiled and took a sip of the tea beside him.

"Your Majesty, I want to ask you for an imperial decree granting me marriage." Duke Dingguo sat at the bottom with a majestic look, looking at Emperor Jing behind the dragon table.

"Oh? Which girl is she?" Emperor Jing seemed to be interested. He put down the tea bowl and looked at Qi Lingheng.

"She is not a noble lady. She is just a female doctor." Qi Lingheng stood up and bowed to Emperor Jing.

"She's actually a female doctor?" Emperor Jing was very surprised.

"Well, that girl saved me. I am grateful for her kindness and want to marry her." Qi Lingheng bowed again and replied.

"This... hehe, I didn't expect the King of Qi to think this way." Emperor Jing was surprised and said with a smile.

However, he was actually more happy to see the Qi family marry an ordinary female doctor.

After all, the Qi family now controls the military power, and marrying into other court officials is not what the emperor wants to see.
