Even though Cheng Wu was confused about my intentions, she still very nimbly completed the task I had given her. Satisfied, I inspected the herbs I had prepared, prepared paper, pen, and other necessary items, and placed them in a bamboo medicine box. Everything was ready. Thus, two days later in the morning, I didn't go to the medicine shop. Instead, I brought Cheng Wu and Jiang Ge onto a carriage and headed towards the palace.
I went out openly this time, but I wasn't stupid enough to tell Lord Qiao about it. Guo Jia had asked a friend to get the carriage. It was said that the driver was his friend's servant. He was very reliable and would never ask too much.
Who was Guo Jia? The possibility of being fooled was very low. So since he is assured, I am naturally assured as well. So I didn't ask any more questions and just brought Orange Dance and Jiang Ge into the car.
The car was very stable and fast, but I didn't feel good. On one hand, he was nervous about the plan that was about to be carried out. On the other hand, it was also because Cheng Wu and Jiang Ge were too noisy.
"Miss, where are we going?”As soon as she got into the car, Jiang Ge could not help but ask.
I didn't hide anything." The palace."
Cheng Wu and Jiang Ge gasped. "The palace?" Cheng Wu asked in a trembling voice. Young…Miss, what…do you want to do? If I remember correctly, it seems that the few people in the palace have not summoned you, right?”
"Yeah, I didn't summon him." I replied casually. My mind was no longer on this conversation.
"Miss!" Jiang Ge pounced on me and stretched out her slender hand to shake it in front of my eyes." Miss, are you possessed? How can you enter the palace without being summoned?”
I raised a finger and made a gesture to cover my mouth."Well, money makes the world go round. Besides, the person I want to see is in a very bad state now.”
"You…"
Jiang Ge wanted to ask more, but the carriage had already stopped. The coachman's low voice came from outside." Miss, we're here."”
I lifted the curtains and looked outside.
The quiet street was empty and dark. Our carriage stopped at the intersection. From afar, we could see a small door at the back of the Imperial City. According to my recent investigations, this door is a side door used by eunuchs, maids, and servants in the palace. It is very remote, but it is also the closest to Yong An Palace. This was because Yong An Palace had always imprisoned imperial concubines who had fallen out of favor or made mistakes. However, not only was the Empress Dowager imprisoned, but the Emperor was also imprisoned.
" Miss, this…this is…" Jiang Ge tugged at my sleeve.
I looked at it carefully for a long time before turning my head and saying,"This is the palace, stupid girl!" She lifted the hem of her dress and was about to get out of the car." Alright, don't waste time. I've already made an agreement with him.”
I jumped out of the car and the two girls hurriedly followed. Jiang Ge was still muttering from behind,"Such a shabby place, and you call it a palace? Miss, are you mistaken? Wuuuu…"
Before she could finish, Cheng Wu covered her mouth.
I ignored her and slowly walked down the street. It was also a palace, but the main entrance was magnificent. This side door looked ordinary, and there were even traces of it being in disrepair.
There were only two soldiers lazily leaning against the wall at the door. They probably saw that this place was remote and no dignitaries would pass by, so they dared to slack off.
When the two of them saw me coming over, they stretched out their hands to stop me." How dare you? This is the forbidden area of the inner palace. Who are you? How dare you barge in like this?”
Seeing their fierce expressions, Jiang Ge tugged at my sleeve and whispered,"Miss, let's go. I don't think these people are to be trifled with.”
I smiled and calmly took out two silver ingots from my pocket. I stuffed one ingot into each of them and said,"My two generals, I am Qiao Xiyan. The Empress Dowager has done me a great favor and she is currently living here in seclusion. I can't bear not to come and see her, can't you make an exception?”
Once the two of them received the silver, they immediately changed their expressions." Isn't this too polite? So it was the female divine doctor, Second Miss Qiao. I've heard a lot about you! Lord Li instructed us yesterday to immediately report to him as soon as you arrive. We will go in and report it now. Please wait a moment.”
I let out a long breath. Alright, it seemed to be going smoothly.
Cheng Wu leaned closer to me and asked in a low voice,""Miss, what is going on? We…"
I glanced at the door. The soldier who had left had not returned, and the other one was standing far away."I just came to see the Empress Dowager. She even wanted me to be her daughter-in-law in the past. Now that she's old and sick, I'll give her a prescription to recuperate.”
Jiang Ge immediately glared at me and almost asked," Are you that kind?
I was just about to take the opportunity to bully her when I heard footsteps from afar. I looked up and saw that the soldier had already brought Li Ru over.
I hastily saluted and said,"Lord Li, I've really troubled you this time."”
He stretched out his hand to support her." Second Miss Qiao, what are you talking about? If it weren't for your filial piety, I wouldn't do such a thing even if I were beaten to death." Although Li Ru is a layman, he is also extremely touched by your feelings for the deposed Empress Dowager.”
I curled my lips in disdain. Was it for the sake of money? This guy almost took away all of my assets, and I almost stole Mrs. Qiao's dowry.
I stood up and stole a glance at him. This Li Ru was Dong Zhuo's trusted aide and had followed him for many years. To be honest, he had contributed greatly to Dong Zhuo seizing the opportunity to come to the capital. He was also the one who had suggested to Dong Zhuo to subdue Lu Bu, which could be considered a hero of his generation.
However, the impression he gave me was actually…funny. This was mainly Luo Guanzhong's fault. When I was young, I watched the Three Kingdoms TV series. There was a scene that left a deep impression on me. After Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu fell out over Diao Chan, Li Ru rushed over to mediate the fight, saying,"Grand Preceptor, don't fall out with Marquis Lu because of a woman. You might as well give Diao Chan to Lu Bu.”Dong Zhuo immediately replied,"Is your wife willing to give it to Lu Bu?"”Haha, I laughed so hard that I almost fainted. He really didn't know if it was Old Man Luo who was too good at spouting nonsense or Old Man Li who was too creative…
I recalled this hilarious scene in my heart once again and almost laughed out loud on the spot. I hurriedly coughed twice and said,"Lord Li, I will remember your kindness.”
Li Ru nodded in satisfaction and said,"" Second Miss Qiao, you are the daughter of Lord Qiao and a famous female doctor in the capital. Logically speaking, I should be able to trust you. However, I have to answer to Grand Preceptor Dong, so…"
I hurriedly nodded." I know what you mean. I always carry this medicine box with me. There are only a few medicinal herbs in it. There's nothing else. You can check it yourself. I won't bring my servant girl in. I'll go by myself. As long as I see the Empress Dowager with my own eyes, I'll be at ease.”
Li Ru waved his hand and summoned a young man dressed in a royal doctor's uniform. The man carefully checked my medicine box from top to bottom and examined every herb under his nose before handing it back to me. He turned to Li Ru and said,"Lord Li, these are indeed common herbs.”--
