It was not an easy thing to go out without anyone noticing. I estimated that this trip would take about three to four days.
The first thing I need to do is to send Nian Gu and the female minister away. I want them to stay away from Changle Palace for the next few days and not know that I went out secretly. What should he do? I thought about it for a moment. The only way to succeed at the moment was to pretend to be sick.
I lay on the bed with three hot water bags covering my lower body. The temperature spread all the way to my upper body. My entire body temperature soared, and my eyes were a little blurry. It was as if I had a fever.
Nian Gu came over to hold my hand." Look, look. I didn't let you wander around, but you had to fall into the water and lie here with a fever!”
Nvxiang stood behind her and looked at me anxiously.
"I'm fine…I just don't think I'll be able to go to the palace to listen to you guys discuss state affairs for a few days.”
The female minister lowered her head and stroked my hair with a sincere expression." It's alright, Your Majesty. You wouldn't understand anyway.”
"..."
Nian Gu covered me with the blanket. Her body was not fully recovered yet. I heard her cough twice.
She whispered to the female face solemnly for a while, then walked to the bed and asked me," What do you think will be better? Let's call a few more people to serve in Changle Palace.”
"Aunt! Please don't!" I quickly stopped her and pretended to cough urgently. She didn't force me when she saw me.
The first step was almost complete, so I began to think about the second step.
My brain was spinning rapidly." You guys…why don't you invite the godly doctor over to take a look at me again…"
The second step should be to find an unlucky person to take me out.
"Yes, yes, yes. There's also a divine doctor. I'll get someone to invite him now.”
Nian Gu was really efficient. The divine doctor came to Changle Palace in a short while.
The divine doctor was very touched as he pulled my hand in front of my bed to take my pulse." I'm not talented. I didn't expect Your Majesty to still be willing to trust me. You called me over to take my pulse! I'm really grateful!”
"Stop for a moment." I quickly dug my ears to tell him not to be so grateful. Seeing that there was no one around, I quickly talked to him about serious matters."Sir, you're too serious. I've asked you to come this time because I have something else to ask of you."”
I lifted the blanket to show him the hot water bottle. When he saw it, his pupils were shocked at first, but he slowly understood. He whispered to me like a secret agent," What orders does Your Majesty have?”
"It's very simple. I heard that Mister is quite trusted by the palace today, and is buying medicinal herbs for the palace…Aren't all the good medicinal herbs monopolized by the Northern Dynasty? I hope that you can take me to the North Dynasty to broaden my horizons…"
“!”The godly doctor wanted to jump up when he heard this. I quickly told him to calm down." Sir, don't be anxious…I've calculated that the carriage will go and return one day a day. There's just one day left in between. You go buy medicine, I'll go shopping…I don't have to go to the hinterland of the Northern Dynasty. I'll just go to the border town. I'll go shopping and observe the situation of the enemy dynasty…"
I saw that he was still hesitating, so I quickly continued to persuade him." If Sir agrees, I'll come back and tell Aunt Nian that you'll be the Chief Imperial Physician. You also know that the days in the Southern Dynasty have been much better recently. This is a fat job!”
"Deal!" He agreed so readily. I wonder if he was waiting for this sentence.
"Then Your Majesty won't bring anyone else?"
"I won't bring him along this time. I'll just choose a crowded place to go as long as you don't say anything. No one will know and no one will harm me. As for the person that Nian Gu chose, although his medical skills aren't that good, his background should still be trustworthy.
No one in the north knows me, so what can happen?
I've been chatting with someone for a long time. I haven't slept well for the past few days, so I'm feeling sleepy. I'll ask the divine doctor to leave first.
"Yes, sir."
Just as I was about to fall asleep, I vaguely heard the door of Weiyang Palace next door open, calling the divine doctor to go in and take a look.
Is the Imperial Consort not feeling well? I started to worry, but I've been worrying too much about this for the past few days. I really want to sleep now, so I fell asleep as soon as I laid my head down.
This is the specialty of our Southern Dynasty. After setting the date, I gave Tong E a big job early in the morning. Bring the people from the Shanggong Bureau out of the palace and settle the matter of building a new bath in Changle Palace. I can't delay it any longer.
Although I was usually sloppy, my disgust for the mud and dirt accumulated on my body and my desire to take a bath were witnessed by all the palace servants in Changle Palace. Therefore, she did not suspect me at all and left with my luggage.
As for Song'e, she's silly. As long as I tell her in advance that I don't want anyone to disturb me for the next few days and put a decent seal on the bedroom door, she'll only wander around outside the door and won't really suspect anything.
If she was smart enough to look out the window, I would have made a doll of myself out of an old pillow and put it under the quilt, not forgetting to add black tassels to it.
I wore the imperial physician uniform that the divine doctor secretly gave me. I smiled evilly as I looked at Song'e's puzzled expression as she paced back and forth in the sleeping hall. I put on my hat so that no one could tell whether I was a man or a woman.
I swaggered to the new Imperial Physician Department that was established due to the lack of the last sword dance competition. Sure enough, no one suspected me on the way. Only a few cats raised by the palace eunuchs on the roadside barked at me. I made faces at them.
The carriage was big enough. It seemed that Nian Gu had given the divine doctor a good amount of money. The divine doctor was driving the horse at the head of the carriage." Your Majesty, in order to reduce the number of people and eyes, I will drive the horse today.”
"Thank you, Miracle Doctor." I patted the two horses under his carriage with satisfaction. They were as fat as him, but much cuter.
"Your Majesty, get in the car. I've prepared a cushion for you. You can sleep for a while. Today was the day for the people of the Northern Dynasty to cultivate. Many people had gone to the temple to pay their respects. There was definitely no traffic on the road. They would probably arrive very soon.”
The heavens are really helping me. I got on the carriage with great satisfaction. There were a few people in the carriage who were wearing the same imperial physician uniform as me. They were fiddling with the medicinal herbs, but they were really imperial physicians of the attendants, and I wasn't.
The space behind the carriage was also very large. There were baskets of medicinal herbs that were to be sent to the north to be exchanged, and they were constantly emitting fragrance. Other than medicinal herbs, there were also many tools and ropes. There were many empty spaces of different sizes around me. I randomly picked a place near the front of the car and sat cross-legged.
The carriage began to move, gradually leaving the imperial palace of the south and slowly heading north. I looked out the window of the carriage at the northern part of Da Yuan City and realized that there were indeed fewer people today. The Cultivation Day that the divine doctor mentioned was a custom that I didn't quite understand.
The journey was a little bumpy, and it was easy to feel dizzy. I leaned comfortably against the back of the carriage and planned to sleep first. Suddenly, I heard a rustling sound behind the carriage. I opened my eyes and saw a figure in a doctor's uniform flash in front of me.
It was noon now, and they were about to reach the next stop, Chuangzhou. Everyone would come down to the relay station for lunch. The work was basically over. Almost everyone was staring blankly. Which little imperial physician was this?
I rubbed my eyes and felt that this figure was a little familiar.
