Chapter 866: The Li family
Bai Zhi said: “He is now suffering from qi deficiency. Well, he has been suffering from his illness for so long. You should prescribe him tonic to replenish his energy and blood.”
While they were talking, the two came to the Imperial Hospital. Bai Zhi took a piece of white paper and write the prescription. Some amounts of herbs were added and some were lessened: 3 grams of danggui, baishao and shenjiang. 2 grams of white peony, chuanqiong, ginger, and jujube. 1 gram of ginseng and licorice.
Imperial Doctor Xu looked at the prescription, which was not the same as the medicine given to Second Young Master Ke last time. Only a few of them were the same. After careful consideration, he suddenly had a realization. His problem was solved, so he was very excited.
“I understand, I understand, so that how it is, so that’s how it is!”
Imperial Doctor Xu danced happily. His happy face was full of folds. The young doctors and the servants in the hall looked dumbfounded. Imperial Doctor Xu has always been steady and calm. How could he suddenly become like this today?
Bai Zhi said: “In the end, Li Gongzi has been seriously ill. It is still unknown whether this prescription can cure Li Gongzi. When you go to the Li Family Mansion for treatment, you should not make a promise lightly, so as not to fall to people with lose mouth.”
Imperial Doctor Xu nodded his head again and again: “I understand. After so many years of being an imperial physician, I have experienced a lot of this kind of thing. I know how to deal with it. Don’t worry!”
Bai Zhi looked in the direction of the consulting room and said, “Since I’m here, I will look at the princess before leaving. Her pulse is really strange. I don’t have any clues right now. It would be great if I have the book of strange pulse theory.”
Imperial Doctor Xu said: “Well, you go see the princess again. I’ll go to Li Family Mansion first, and then go back to inquire about Liu Trading Firm.”
Bai Zhi said: “You don’t have to worry about the Liu Trading Firm. You are an imperial physician. The Liu Family’s business is so big, I’m afraid that they won’t sell you a face. I will discuss this matter with my grandfather or Prince Jin. Maybe if they come forward, the Liu Trading Firm will help.”
Imperial Doctor Xu was overjoyed: “Yes, I know Master Dongfang’s influence is not only in the capital but in the entire State of Chu. Everyone knows him. If he comes forward, this will be a success.”
After a few more words, the two said goodbye. Bai Zhi went to the consultation room, while Imperial Doctor Xu hurried out of the palace.
If he doesn’t comfort the Li family, those rascals might come to his house more than three times. If he won’t get rid of them quickly, others might think he killed someone from the Li Family.

Meng Zhangling coaxed the emperor to come to the harem. To be more specific, it was in Qingan Palace, where the emperor hadn’t enter for a long time.
As soon as the emperor entered the Qingan Palace, he noticed something was wrong. The palace ladies and eunuchs inside were all fl.u.s.tered.
“Where is the Empress?” The emperor asked with a frown.
The court ladies and eunuchs, who were kneeling on the floor shivered and dared not speak.
The emperor became even more furious: “Are you all deaf or dumb?” He pointed to the nearest eunuch: “Speak!”
The eunuch busily replied: “Answering back the emperor, the empress, she is in the back hall?”
Back Hall? In broad daylight, why she hasn’t got up yet?
Even if she hasn’t got up yet, even if she was still in the back hall, why do these people panic and tremble?
Meng Zhangling said: “The emperor, it seems that my sister is not very convenient today, so let’s go to Ruyi Palace.”
The emperor shook his head: “Since we are here, how can we go back now? Go, let’s go to the back hall. I want to see what is the empress is doing.”
Su Chun didn’t expect that the emperor, who had never set foot in Qingan Palace, would suddenly come at this time. What more, the person standing next to him, was the person she hated the most.
