Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

The emperor and the empress dowager remained silent, listening to Fang Yao venting her emotions.

"When Li'er was at the farm, there was an old doctor living in seclusion nearby. He took pity on her and her daughter and took her in as his apprentice. Li'er wasn't very good at medicine, but she was quite good at making medicine. The medicine the emperor used was given by Li'er. I was afraid the emperor wouldn't dare use it, so I didn't tell the truth, hehe."

Having said that, the emperor believed him 80%.

After all, the drug was truly effective; it had saved him twice already. After inhaling it, he no longer felt the suffocating feeling that his lungs were about to explode, and he slept soundly for several days straight.

"And the medicine that saved the Empress Dowager just now was all learned from that old doctor. I wanted to have the old doctor come to Beijing to serve the court, but Li'er said that the old man had been dead for a year, which was such a pity."

The emperor also felt it was a pity.

He glanced at the medicine box on the ground next to him and asked, "Are all the medicines in there that Miss Shen learned to make?"

Fang Yao stopped talking.

The lie he just made up was outrageous enough. He didn't know what was in the medicine box, so he didn't dare to make up another one.

Shen Li said: "Yes, I am not as good as Master, but I can still make do with it."

The emperor smiled.

"Don't be modest, the medicine you made is excellent, I must reward you..."

Fang Yao suddenly kowtowed and interrupted the emperor, "I have a favor to ask of you, Your Majesty."

The emperor looked at him in confusion.

"I would like to ask the Emperor to keep Li'er's secret and not let anyone know that she has this ability."

"Oh? Why is that?"

"Your Majesty, think about it. She's only a teenager, barely able to lift anything. If people knew she could make the potion that could alleviate your illness, would anyone try to harm her? What if something unexpected happened? Even if no one tried to harm her, what if someone else wanted to use her abilities to get close to you, Your Majesty? Regardless, I think it's best to keep it a secret."

Eunuch Chang was listening nearby and couldn't help but say, "But Miss Shen's rescue of the Marquis Guanyong's wife is already known to everyone. How can this be concealed?"

Fang Yao said, "That doesn't matter. Just say it's a blind cat that catches a dead mouse. Ugh, look at my stinky mouth. Ugh, Ugh, Ugh, Ugh. Just say it's just a coincidence. Coincidences like this don't happen. No one will think too much of it."

Eunuch Chang added, "But just now, Doctor Wang saw it clearly before his eyes, he..."

"If he dares to go out and say anything, I'll twist his neck off. Including his two apprentices, every last one of them. I'll scare them later."

After hearing this, the emperor completely believed him.

He is not seeking fame or profit, and apart from being loyal to the emperor, the emperor can't think of anything else to doubt.

He reached out and knocked Fang Yao on the head, saying unhappily, "You're making trouble again. Hurry up and get up. What are you kneeling for? I'll issue an order to Doctor Wang. Stop scaring them. As for Miss Shen, keep it a secret as you said."

Fang Yao was relieved when he heard this, and quickly gestured to Shen Li to kneel down and kowtow to express his gratitude.

The Queen Mother had been lying on the cushion, listening to them with her eyes closed. The cyanosis on her mouth had long since faded, and her breathing and pulse had gradually become stronger.

After hearing what they said, the Queen Mother said tiredly, "Let Miss Shen stay in my palace for a few days to take care of me. Tell others that I like this child and want her to stay for a few days."

Shen Li was confused and didn't know how great a blessing this was. She subconsciously looked at her uncle.

Fang Yao felt mixed emotions.

She was surprised that the Queen Mother favored her, but she was also worried that she would be criticized for not knowing the rules.

Even Xie En doesn't know, so how can he not worry?

Helplessly, Fang Yao reminded him, "Why don't you thank me quickly? The Queen Mother's grace is not something everyone has."

Shen Li uttered an "oh" and quickly knelt down before the Queen Mother. "Your humble servant thanks the Queen Mother for her grace."

"Get up," the Queen Mother smiled at her, the more she looked at her, the more she liked her. "I know you just returned to the capital and don't know many of the rules. It's okay, I won't blame you. There are many people in this palace who understand the rules, but how many of them treat others sincerely? Fang Yao."

"Yes, I am here."

"Don't worry, I really like this child and won't let anyone find fault with her. Eunuch Chang."

"The slave is here."

"Pass on my decree. While Miss Shen is in the palace, no matter who she meets, even if they are impolite, no one is allowed to find fault with her. If I find out that anyone has mistreated her privately, I will not forgive them."

"Yes, I'll go and pass it on right away."

The Queen Mother was relieved. After saying so much, she felt tired again, so she leaned back on the cushion and closed her eyes.

Shen Li felt indescribable in her heart. This was not what she had imagined.

After traveling here, she was very careful and cautious in every step.

The unknown of this world and the confusion about the future keep her in a state of insecure alertness.

It feels even more tiring than being an undercover agent in my previous life.

However, as she became more and more tired, people and things that could warm her heart appeared.

Her uncle's family made her feel like family, and the girls made her feel like comrades in arms. Unexpectedly, even the Queen Mother made her feel like she was being protected by a big boss.

......

Outside the door, Eunuch Chang came back with the imperial edict, and I don't know what he was saying to people.

After a while, Eunuch Chang opened the door and came in, saying, "Your Majesty, during the scuffle earlier, a guard was shot in the eye while shielding the Empress Dowager from an arrow. The situation is critical, and the imperial physicians are helpless. Doctor Wang was just about to ask Miss Shen if she had any suggestions."

It seems that since he just witnessed Shen Li saving someone with his own eyes, Doctor Wang has some misunderstanding about her medical skills.

Shen Li was speechless.

She is not a doctor, so she doesn't rely on the medicine in the medicine cabinet to be good.

He turned his head to look at the medicine box, dragged it forward, opened it, and found that the contents inside had indeed changed again.

Yesterday's wound medicine and antibiotics appeared again, this time with a scalpel, iodine, and a little anesthetic.

Shen Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

But she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say to the emperor: "I don't know if it will work, but I have medicine here. Otherwise, let Doctor Wang take these medicines and try them."

The emperor waved his hand, signaling Eunuch Chang to call Doctor Wang in.

Xiao Chenze and Xiao Haoze had already returned from patrolling the surroundings and wanted to follow in, but were stopped by Eunuch Chang.

The two were confused and had a lot of questions in their heads.

Shen Li handed the contents of the medicine box to Doctor Wang. Doctor Wang didn't understand many of the words, so Shen Li explained them to him carefully and told him how to use them.

After the two of them finished talking, the emperor warned Doctor Wang that everything he saw and learned today must be kept confidential, and if it was leaked, he would be the only one to be held accountable.

The old man was so frightened that he kowtowed several times, repeatedly saying that he understood and would never dare to tell anyone about it.

He is the only one who knows such a big secret. This is the trust that the emperor and the general have in him. He would have to be crazy to tell it out.

What's more, he also hoped that Shen Li would give him more good medicine and equipment, and he was willing to take Shen Li as his master for this.

If the news gets out, this unique treatment may not be his. He is not stupid and will never do anything to undermine his own reputation.

After packing the medicine into his medicine box, Doctor Wang went out happily.

The Emperor then said to Eunuch Chang, "Order the imperial sedan chair to be brought here to escort the Empress Dowager back to the palace. Everyone else can come in as well."

"Yes."

The door of the imperial study finally opened again.

The imperial physician didn't have to go in, but Xiao Chenze and Xiao Haoze had to go in to report the inspection results to the emperor.

After the two entered the room, they found that the emperor and the empress dowager were both fine, and their expressions were obviously relieved.

Fang Yao helped the emperor to sit behind the imperial desk. The emperor glanced at his two sons standing before him calmly, "What's the situation?"

Xiao Chenze said, "The city gates have been sealed, and martial law has been imposed throughout the city. A thorough search is underway, and a curfew is in effect today. All those attending the banquet today are in the Imperial Garden, and they will be screened one by one before leaving. No other abnormalities have been discovered so far."

The emperor remained silent and looked at the second prince.

Shen Haoze hurriedly said: "Everything is normal in the palace. The imperial guards and personal soldiers have all been dispatched and are patrolling day and night. We dare not relax until the assassin is found..."
