Children of Loulan

Chapter 121 Preparing for Funerals

Dalan said firmly: "You must take it. I am afraid I will never have the chance to visit you again. And your life here will not be easy. Without silver, it will be difficult to make a living."

Dar understood the importance of this gift. She took the silver with tears in her eyes, and her gratitude was beyond words: "Thank you very much for the great kindness of the people of Lancai!" This generous donation made Dar feel extremely warm and comforted. At the same time, she was also pleased that the young lady had such a friend.

Dar held the silver in her hand, tears welling up in her eyes. She knew that what Dalan said was true. Even if the people living here survived by chance, they were still the masters in name. But if they were not favored, they would be bullied. At this moment, the Ministry of Internal Affairs might still send some items, but as time went by, they would definitely stop supplying, and even the monthly payment that the young lady was supposed to receive would be cut off.

At that time, the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs would deduct the monthly payment that the young ladies deserved without any hesitation or mercy, so they would have to rely on money to buy all their food and daily necessities in the future. Although there was no market in the palace, as long as one had enough wealth, any item could be purchased!

After seeing that Dar finally accepted the silver, Darlan took out the letter from his arms as if relieved, and handed it to the other party: "This is the reply letter sent back to her by your master and his wife. Please read it to her. Maybe when she hears the news from her parents at home, the situation may get better!"

After Dalan handed the letter to Dar, she chatted with the two sisters again for a while, expressed her reluctance, and then slowly turned and left.

Dahl looked at her receding figure, then lowered his head to stare at the letter in his hand, and whispered softly: "Miss, you must wake up soon, there are so many people who care about you!"

After Lan Cairen's figure completely disappeared from her sight, she slowly walked to Hanguli's bed, carefully unfolded the letter, and read it word by word to the unconscious Hanguli!

The next morning, Madam Zhao went to Concubine Xian's palace as usual. But as soon as she entered the palace, she saw the imperial physician Shamu checking Concubine Xian's pulse. So she sat aside as if nothing had happened. After Shamu finished checking Concubine Xian's pulse, she heard Musha say, "Your Majesty is fine. It's just that the weather has been clear and dry these past two days. You might as well drink more bird's nest porridge, which is good for your health!"

Concubine Xian said nonchalantly, "Well, everyone says that Imperial Doctor Shamu's medical skills are superb. Today I see that he is indeed amazing!"

Shamu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you are too kind!"

The virtuous concubine snorted again and continued, "Hmph, his medical skills are up to par, but I wonder if his brain is up to par."

Upon hearing this, Shamu was shocked and immediately knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said, "I am extremely terrified. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The virtuous concubine chuckled twice and said calmly, "Why is Lord Shamu so worried? I just want to remind you that the medicinal materials in the palace are extremely precious and not everyone can use them at will. Besides, as the end of the year is approaching, the Imperial Hospital will surely be busy. By then, I wonder whether you will be busy or idle?"

Hearing this, Madam Zhao couldn't help but pause. She knew that Concubine Xian's words were a threat to Shamu, and her purpose was to stop him from continuing to treat Hanguli! She turned her head to look at Shamu, and saw that Shamu's forehead was already covered with a layer of fine sweat, his body was trembling slightly, and he responded with a trembling voice: "Thank you for your advice, Madam. I understand!"

The virtuous concubine still maintained that lazy posture, and said slowly: "Well, now that you understand, then go quickly! This is the last time to take her pulse, so you must make sure to take a good pulse!" After that, she waved her hand gently, signaling Shamu to get up and leave.

When Shamu heard this, he nodded hurriedly as if he had received a pardon, then picked up the medicine box and left in big strides.

After Shamu left, Madam Zhao stood up, bowed to Concubine Xian, and then said with a smile on her face: "You are wise and intelligent, Madam. Doctor Shamu will naturally understand your meaning."

Concubine Xian turned her head slightly, glanced at Madam Zhao, and said with a chuckle, "Well, it would be best if he could understand. By the way, has the letter been delivered?"

Madam Zhao replied calmly and without arrogance, "It has been delivered. I am looking for the Lancai who once pleaded for her maid, but ended up causing her maid to be punished."

Concubine Xian smiled softly and said, "You are really good at this. But if this happens, I wonder if that Lan Cai woman will regret making friends with her."

Madam Zhao said confidently: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have already reminded her. Even if she still has some other ideas in her mind, I have dispelled them."

The virtuous concubine chuckled and said, "That's very good."

Madam Zhao also echoed, "Now that Li Liang's matter has been almost resolved, Your Majesty can rest assured!"

After hearing this, Concubine Xian snorted coldly and thought to herself: "Peace of mind? Humph, there is still a long way to go before I can feel at ease!" She secretly calculated in her heart that only when Xilin successfully gave birth to a prince and she successfully ascended to the supreme position, could she be truly at ease!

At this moment, Yuexi was in the middle, Shamu was concentrating on taking Hanguli's pulse, while the sisters Dal and Baier stood aside with four big dark circles under their eyes and looked tired. After Shamu finished taking the pulse, he looked at the two loyal servants in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: These two people are really rare.

Shamu sighed softly and said earnestly: "It is really admirable that the two girls are so dedicated to their master. But you should also pay more attention to take care of your health!"

Upon hearing this, Dar bowed slightly and asked respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, sir. I wonder how my beloved is doing now?"

Shamu sighed again, shook his head and said, "Now we can only leave it to fate. I have changed the prescription. If she survives, you can just follow this prescription to get the medicine. If not... you guys should also prepare in advance!"

Bayer was a little anxious after hearing this. She immediately said angrily: "What are you preparing for?"

What are they preparing for? Everyone present knew it all: of course, they were preparing for the afterlife!

Shamu knew that his words had touched their hearts, but since things had come to this point, he had to make it clear, so he said, "In any case, follow this prescription in the future. If it doesn't work, you can switch back to the previous prescription!"

After saying this, he handed the written prescription to Dahl, packed up his medicine box and prepared to leave.

Baier asked in confusion, "What does your Excellency mean? Why do you have to alternate between two prescriptions? If I need any medicine in the future, won't you have to come over and check my pulse before prescribing it?"

After hearing this, Shamu paused for a moment. His eyes stayed on Bayer and Dar for a moment, and then he looked at Hanguli who was lying quietly on the bed. As a doctor, he naturally hoped to save every life in his heart!
