Jiang Er had a pretty good New Year's Day.
Although he was a little annoyed by his family's pressure to get married, he was secretly happy about the flattery from his friends.
Especially when he rode the Taiping car to show off every day, people around him all looked at him with envy, which made him feel elated.
He spent almost the entire New Year's Day eating and drinking to his heart's content.
Either he would host a banquet at home or his friends would host a banquet to invite him to dinner and ask him about the poetry competitions in Taipingche and Suzhou.
Jiang Er boasted so much that his throat was almost smoking, and he also brought in a lot of orders for Situ Yuan.
But as the New Year passed and it was time to return to Gusu, Jiang Er felt a little annoyed.
So much time has passed, why hasn't that miracle doctor returned to Beijing yet?
Jiang Er hesitated for a long time, and finally went to find Lu Xuan to inquire about it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he found Lu Xuan, he saw that the other party had a gloomy face, as if something big had happened.
Jiang Er's expression immediately changed, and he asked nervously, "Commander Lu, what happened?"
Lu Xuan glanced at him and didn't hide anything: "Something happened to the Medicine God Doctor. I need to go to the palace to report to His Majesty."
"What?" Jiang Er suddenly exclaimed, "Something happened to the Medicine God? What about the people around her? I remember she had two guards. When she carried the coffin back to her hometown, the Black Kirin Guards escorted her all the way. Could something have happened to them too?"
Lu Xuan sighed, "After the Medicine God Doctor returned, he buried the two medicine boys and said he was going into the mountains to collect herbs. Later, someone came to seek medical treatment, so the Medicine God Doctor stayed there temporarily.
Later, the medicine doctor said that he wanted to test a few prescriptions and collect some medicinal herbs from other places, so he kept running around.
Recently, she said that she had made some progress in her research on a prescription, and went to the mountains to collect herbs again. However, this time, something went terribly wrong, and the Medicine Goddess became separated from her guards and disappeared without a trace.
After her two guards reunited with the Black Kylin Guards, they discovered that the Medicine God Doctor had most likely slipped and fallen into the icy lake.
The frozen lake was huge, and the surface was covered with thick ice. They tried diving into the water, but they nearly froze to death. They still couldn't find any trace of the Godly Medicine Doctor.
Jiang Er's eyes widened in disbelief: "How... how could this be? Medicine God Doctor is so old, could it be..."
Lu Xuan shook his head: "Those people also found some other traces. They are worried that the Medicine God Doctor was taken away by someone, and the ice lake was just a fake.
Regardless, the Medicine Goddess is now missing, but fortunately she left behind many manuscripts containing many good prescriptions and strategies for curing illnesses and saving lives. This is a blessing in disguise."
At the end of his speech, he bowed to Jiang Er and hurried to the palace.
Jiang Er hurriedly followed, even shamelessly getting on Lu Xuan's carriage, and asked anxiously, "What about her guards?"
Lu Xuan looked at him strangely: "You seem to be very concerned about the guards of the Medicine God Doctor?"
Jiang Er looked away guiltily, not daring to meet his gaze. Then, his eyes flickered as he spoke, "I just... I just feel sorry for them. The two medicine boys around Medicine Goddess were killed. Now that Medicine Goddess is in trouble, what will happen to her two guards in the future?
Your Majesty won't blame them, will you? They can't be blamed for this. From what you just said, the place they went to collect herbs must be deep in the mountains and old forests, and it's snowed in, right? There might even be wild beasts like tigers, bears, and leopards."
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "There are indeed many ferocious beasts in that mountain. However, the Medicine God Doctor said that there is a special medicinal herb in that mountain that needs to be picked at this time. Otherwise, I would not risk going into the mountain."
Jiang Er couldn't help but ask, "Did they collect any herbs this time?"
"It happened shortly after they collected the herbs. Luckily, the herbs were kept by the Black Kirin Guards, otherwise this trip would have been in vain."
Lu Xuan shook his head and couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the miracle doctor.
He had originally hoped that the Medicine God Doctor could nurse his wives and concubines back to health so that they could give birth to a son for him, but he never came back after that.
The two of them entered the palace in a carriage, and Lu Xuan reported the matter to Emperor Taihe. Emperor Taihe's face was indeed very ugly.
He asked Lu Xuan with a gloomy face, "Do you think the Medicine God Doctor fell into the icy lake, or was he secretly taken away?"
Lu Xuan said solemnly, "According to the information sent back from below, there are indeed traces of other people's activities in that forest.
The Godly Medicine Doctor was a master of medicine, so it was logical that no one would go out of their way to assassinate her. Unless, of course, someone didn't want the Godly Medicine Doctor to treat His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine.
The place where the Medicine God collected herbs was not far from the border and close to the State of Yan. If the people of Yan sneaked into the territory of Daxia, they would definitely not miss this opportunity.
Therefore, I suspect that someone from Yan State sneaked into Daxia and forcibly took away the great doctor Yao.
But the Medicine God Doctor is old after all, and if he is forcibly taken away this time, even if the other party needs help, I am afraid that the Medicine God Doctor will still be in danger of his life."
"Yan State..."
Emperor Taihe said this softly, and soon gritted his teeth.
The State of Yan was not only adjacent to Daxia, but also seized a large amount of territory from Daxia.
Both his grandfather and father wanted to take back those territories, but unfortunately Yan State had a large number of cavalry and Daxia was no match for them.
Now, the border can only hold on with great difficulty.
Fortunately, Situ Yuan had someone make cement, which was very useful. He had already sent the recipe to the border, requesting that they reinforce the city walls.
However, the border was too long, and even with the city walls blocking it, it still couldn't stop the Yan people from sneaking into the territory of Daxia.
If the Medicine God Doctor really fell into the hands of the Yan people...
Emperor Taihe pondered for a long time before sighing softly, "I only hope that the Medicine God Doctor will be safe and sound."
Lu Xuan quickly added, "The Black Kirin Guards have already escorted the Medicine God's two guards back to the capital. They are carrying the Medicine God's manuscript, which should be of considerable use."
Emperor Taihe's expression brightened a little: "In this case, it is a blessing in disguise."
He looked at Jiang Er again: "What are you doing here?"
Jiang Er opened his mouth and said with a guilty conscience, "I... I'm just worried about the Medicine God..."
Emperor Taihe sighed and said, "It's useless for you to worry now. Let's wait until they arrive in the capital."
Jiang Er quickly shut his mouth.
He waited for three days with great difficulty, and Baisui and Changming were finally escorted to the capital by the Black Kirin Guards.
Emperor Taihe specially summoned the two and asked them in detail about what happened to Doctor Yao.
Jiang Er was also listening.
Seeing Baisui's frail body kneeling straight in the hall, he felt as if something had pierced his heart, and felt a little sour and uncomfortable.
At this time, Baisui was still wearing a mask on her face because she was ugly and was worried that she would scare Emperor Taihe.
However, before entering the hall, she and Changming were carefully checked. Not only were they searched, but their masks were also removed for inspection.
Jiang Er was also present at the time, but he did not see Bai Sui's face.
