Chapter 238 Medicine King Valley
Chapter 238 Medicine King Valley
The Witch Tribe of Southern Xinjiang.
"Has the poison in Ali's body not reacted yet?" An old female voice sounded in the empty room.
A woman kneeling outside the room whispered back, "Not yet."
"It's been so long, send someone to look for him. Ali went to Dayong, go look for him there." After the old voice finished speaking, no more sound was heard from the empty room.
"Yes." The woman leaned forward and nodded her forehead to the ground.
After the woman stood up and turned around, a look of joy flashed across her face.
Dayong Palace.
Emperor Jing seemed to have finally remembered Concubine Li. After the morning court today, he took the initiative to summon Concubine Li to the imperial study.
"Your Majesty." Concubine Li slowly walked into the imperial study with a look of joy on her face.
"Well, Fu Quanhai, bring a stool over for Concubine Li." Emperor Jing looked up at the woman who had just entered the palace, then turned to Eunuch Fu who was standing beside him and said.
Concubine Li paused and watched as Eunuch Fu brought a small stool from the side and placed it at the entrance to the imperial study. "Madam Concubine Li, please take a seat."
Princess Li...
Concubine Li glanced at Emperor Jing's face again. Seeing that he was not angry, she relaxed a little and walked towards the desk. "Your Majesty, I brought you your favorite pigeon soup. It tastes the same as the one I brought you a few days ago."
Emperor Jing glanced at Eunuch Fu, who immediately understood and walked towards Concubine Li, taking the food box from her hand. "Your Majesty just drank a few cups of tea, and I'm afraid you can't eat soup now. Let's put it aside for a while."
Concubine Li frowned, but soon relaxed her brows and loosened her hand. "Thank you, Eunuch Fu. Please keep an eye on it. The soup will not taste good if it gets cold."
"Okay, I remember this. Please take a seat, Concubine Li." Eunuch Fu pointed to a stool not far away.
"Okay." Concubine Li looked at Emperor Jing lovingly, turned around and walked to the small stool and sat down.
"A few days ago, the Queen Mother suddenly told me that she missed her grandchildren very much. Now it is the hottest summer day, and the heat is unbearable, but if we can hold a unique summer banquet, it will not only help to dispel the heat, but also satisfy the Queen Mother's wish to meet her grandchildren."
Emperor Jing raised his hand slightly and gently picked up the exquisite covered bowl on the table.
When the cup lids overlapped, a clear and pleasant sound could be heard, echoing in the empty hall.
“It is not difficult to do this. I will go to the Imperial Observatory to make a careful calculation and choose an auspicious day with a sunny day and clear sky.
By then, I will carefully prepare some novel and unique flowers and plants to decorate the entire banquet venue properly." Concubine Li replied with a smile.
“Well, this arrangement is feasible.
However, Prince Li and his family haven't returned to Kyoto for a long time. It might be a good idea to send someone to deliver a letter to Prince Li and ask them to come to Kyoto and have a lively gathering with the Queen Mother.
After all, the Queen Mother is old, and she may not have much energy to participate in such a lively day in the future. "Emperor Jing put down the tea bowl and looked at Concubine Li with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Li immediately showed a look of joy on her face and replied, "Your Majesty is right. I will give orders right away and have someone write a letter quickly to invite Prince Li and his men to come to Kyoto for a gathering."
"How long will your majesty be busy today? I will prepare some food tonight. Please..."
"I still have things to deal with today. Concubine Li should pay more attention to the palace banquet and don't let me and the Queen Mother down." Emperor Jing said with a smile, waved to Concubine Li, and stood up and walked to another hall in the back.
"His Majesty......"
"Concubine Li, His Majesty has been busy all day, you..." Eunuch Fu stood in front of Concubine Li and made a gesture of invitation.
"Okay, then..." Concubine Li looked at the food box she brought, "Eunuch Fu should remind His Majesty to drink the pigeon soup."
"That's something I won't have to do." Eunuch Fu replied with a smile.
Concubine Li looked at the room that Emperor Jing left again, and finally left the imperial study with her skirt lifted.
After watching Concubine Li walk away from the imperial study, Eunuch Fu returned.
Just after returning, I heard the low voice of Emperor Jing, "That pigeon soup is a good thing. Send it to the third brother. Don't waste it. From now on, any food that Concubine Li sends should be sent to the third brother."
"Yes." Eunuch Fu responded, turned around and took the food box to ask the eunuch to deal with it.
In the imperial study, Emperor Jing was looking at a Buddha statue on the shelf, and suddenly he put the statue to the ground with one hand.
When Eunuch Fu returned, he happened to see Emperor Jing was angry.
He hurriedly walked to the side of Emperor Jing and whispered, "Your Majesty, calm down."
At this time, Emperor Jing's face was terribly gloomy, and the murderous intent in his eyes was not concealed at all.
"Where is the King of Qi now?"
"Your Majesty, the Prince of Qi and the Grand Princess have returned to Dahe Village these days. It may take some time for them to come back." Eunuch Fu replied carefully.
"Well, wait until he comes back and let him come into the palace." After saying this, Emperor Jing turned around and went back to the hall where he was reviewing memorials. "Chop up this stool and burn it."
"Yes." Eunuch Fu responded again.
Dahe Village.
At this time, Su Tang was having dinner in the house with Zhao Youtian and others.
Before lunch, Su Tang politely invited Governor Hu to have lunch in the valley, but Governor Hu politely declined.
Governor Hu did not dare to have dinner with Su Tang. Although he also wanted to get closer to the princess, it was not the right time. After all, he did not know that the princess lived in the area under his jurisdiction. It was inappropriate to have dinner with the princess when he met her for the first time.
However, Magistrate Hu was tactful enough to take the initiative to chat with Qi Lingheng for a few words, trying to make his presence felt in front of Qi Lingheng first.
In the end, Magistrate Hu left with a smile on his face. Su Tang also gave Magistrate Hu several hundred-year-old ginseng as a thank you gift for his help in coming to Dahe Village.
Governor Hu thanked him profusely and left. Before leaving, he also said a few words to Village Chief Liu, "Your village is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. It is a treasure land. Don't let those unruly people disturb the princess' life in the future."
Village Chief Liu, who followed behind, quickly responded, "Yes, yes, we will definitely strengthen our precautions."
Of course, Village Chief Liu did not dare to stay in the valley to have dinner with Su Tang and the others, so he took the two fat sheep from Northern Xinjiang that Su Tang gave him and went home.
"You actually know how to do things." Qi Lingheng picked up the dishes on the table and put them in the bowl in front of Su Tang.
"Hey, although those people are lower in status than us, you also know that it's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with the little ghosts. The more insignificant people are, the more you should not offend them. Unless you eliminate those threatening people in advance, it's best not to conflict with them."
"Yes, my lady is right. Eat more. These are free-range here, and the meat is firmer than those in the mansion." Qi Lingheng picked up another chicken leg for Su Tang.
"Ah."
Su Tang and the others were talking in low voices, and everyone else sitting at the table smiled at them gently.
Erniu is much more sensible now. When Qi Lingheng is with Su Tang, he will no longer throw himself into Su Tang's arms and pester Su Tang to play with him.
However, every time Su Tang came back, she would bring the children their favorite things.
For example, Erniu likes all kinds of Kyoto delicacies the most, so Su Tang will always bring him a big bag when she comes.
"Okay, after dinner, Princess and King Qi should also rest early." Su Tang and the others had to travel for more than ten days to get here, so they must be tired today.
Su Tang didn't bother to be polite with them. This time when she came to Dahe Village, Su Tang was thinking about developing another mountain area next to the valley.
At first, she wanted to build a mountain villa here that would provide a place for food, accommodation and entertainment. In addition, with the valley here, she could also arrange for Professor Tian to treat difficult and complicated diseases for outsiders.
If we want the valley to develop safely, we must have the ability to survive.
Build a Medicine King Valley and provide medical treatment to all people of status and position, so that we can bring those people out.
After all, everyone is afraid of death. As long as the valley can cure diseases that others cannot, it will be enough to deter outsiders and prevent them from attacking people in the valley.
A good night's sleep.
When Su Tang woke up the next day, she went to see Professor Tian first.
"Professor Tian."
"Well, Xiao Su, you came at the right time. I have made some progress in researching the poisonous insects that I kept here some time ago, but I still need the equipment you have." Professor Tian brought a glass jar to Su Tang and showed her the poisonous insects inside.
"Look, this insect's reproductive ability is very weak. Every time it infects the insects, only a few survive. I want to analyze their cells again."
"By the way, I have always kept a witch from southern Xinjiang in my space. You can ask her, maybe you can find the reason." Su Tang looked at the poisonous insect in front of her, and then she remembered that there was still a witch locked up in the space.
It's strange to say that this witch was locked up in an empty room by Su Tang, but she didn't make any noise and she didn't go crazy either.
Every time Su Tang remembered it, she would go to see that person, and that person would take the initiative to talk to Su Tang.
At first, the woman would ask about the Su Tang brand, but after a long time, she seemed to have forgotten about the brand.
In fact, it was not that Ali forgot the brand. She knew that Su Tang would not give it to her if she asked again, so she simply did not ask.
As for why she didn't make a fuss or go crazy even though she was locked up by Su Tang, it was because she discovered that there was something special about the room where Su Tang locked her up.
She now wanted to figure out why the objects around her were things she had never seen before.
"Okay, take her out. By the way, she is safe now, right?" After all, she was a witch from southern Xinjiang. Professor Tian was afraid that the woman would be difficult to control, so he used the poisonous insect to control the people in the valley.
"Just don't give her the poisonous worm." The poisonous worms in southern Xinjiang cannot be replaced by ordinary insects.
"Well, okay, then let her out and put away these poisonous insects first." Professor Tian nodded.
Su Tang waved her hand and collected all the poisonous insects in Professor Tian's room, and also released Ali who had been imprisoned for a long time.
Noticing the changes in the environment around him, Ali opened his eyes alertly.
She was meditating just now and noticed that the air around her suddenly had the smell of soil and plants.
"Where is this?" Ali was not surprised at all when he saw Su Tang.
"Medicine King Valley." Su Tang replied.
"What's this person's name?" Ali looked at Professor Tian beside him.
She remembered Professor Tian and had been to southern Xinjiang with Su Tang before, but she had never asked Professor Tian's name.
After being released from that strange place by Su Tang, she knew that Su Tang was not going to keep her locked up anymore.
"Call me Mr. Tian." Professor Tian extended his hand towards Ali.
Ali was stunned for a moment, then he extended his hand like Professor Tian, "I am Ali."
"Ali." Professor Tian grabbed Ali's hand and shook hands with him.
Su sugar......
Fortunately, Ali is from southern Xinjiang, where there are not as many rules and etiquette as in Dayong. If it were a woman from Dayong, she would be so angry if a man suddenly held her hand that she would probably hit Professor Tian.
Of course, if the girl had a more delicate personality, Professor Tian would probably have to marry her.
It seems that Professor Tian has not yet adapted to life in ancient times.
"Well, since we already know each other, Ali, I also want to tell you that I will not keep you locked up any longer after I let you out this time."
Su Tang paused, and seeing that A Li was listening attentively, she continued, "I really can't give you the brand you want right now, so don't think too much about it. When I no longer have any use for it, I will give it to you.
As for you, you can go back to Southern Xinjiang now, and I will send someone to escort you back."
"I'm not going back." Ali replied immediately.
Su Tang raised her eyebrows, "Okay, then if you don't go back, do you have other plans?"
"I want to follow you." Ali said something that surprised Su Tang.
"What do you mean?"
"I want to follow you. You have a lot of new things here. I want to follow you."
"But aren't you a witch from southern Xinjiang? Can you never go back?" Professor Tian was also a little surprised.
In fact, Ali couldn't explain why she made this decision now, but there was always a voice in her head telling her to stay with Su Tang.
Seeing Ali's determined look, Su Tang smiled and said, "If you stay with me, you must sever your ties with Southern Xinjiang. Even if they come looking for you in the future, you can't leave with them, and you can't betray me. Do you have any relatives at home?"
After hearing this, Ali thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, I promise you. I am an orphan and was raised by the high priest since I was a child."
"Okay, you have to remember that once you think of betraying me, I will never let you stay in this world."
This time, Ali nodded without hesitation.
"Then let me change your name. Your name, A-li, is too different from the people of Dayong."
In fact, there is not much difference in appearance between the people of Dayong and those of southern Xinjiang. Of course, the people of southern Xinjiang are shorter and the women are thinner.
But everyone is still a yellow-skinned race, it’s just that the places they live in are different, which causes some differences in their body shapes.
Therefore, if Ali changed her name and dressed like a woman from the Dayong Dynasty, as long as she didn't speak, it would be impossible to tell that she was not from the Dayong Dynasty.
As for Ali's future identity, it will be easy to get. Qi Lingheng can help Ali get a new identity.
"From now on, you will be called Tian Ningxue."
Ah Li glanced at Professor Tian beside him, and then murmured, "Tian Ningxue, okay, I will be Tian Ningxue from now on."
"Girl, you have found a daughter for me." When Professor Tian heard Tian Ningxue's name, he immediately understood what Su Tang meant.
In this way, Tian Ningxue can also be closer to Professor Tian.
"Yes, you are so smart and guessed it so quickly."
