Painting Doctor Jinhua

Chapter 108 Layout

When the day dawned, the embassy was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and everyone was waiting for news.

Early in the morning, Fenghuang had slipped out of the embassy to inquire about the situation. When she returned, it was two quarters past noon. At this time, Emperor Chen Xu had already come out of the Shixing Palace and was heading back to the palace.

Ling Ye sent a carrier pigeon. Fenghuang took the letter and quickly came back to report to Xiao Jinyu:

"Brother Qing, as you expected, His Majesty has ordered the removal of General Tan Qi from his post and sentenced him to death by beheading. All the troops surrounding our house have been withdrawn!"

Upon hearing the news, Xiao Xian breathed a sigh of relief. Although he stayed in the embassy that night, he was worried about his mother's safety all the time.

If Xiao Jinyu hadn't repeatedly assured him, there was no way he would have just sat here and done nothing.

"My dear, you are really a prophet. How do you know that after His Majesty learns about the affairs of King Shixing, he will order the troops surrounding the Xiao residence to be withdrawn?" Li Mi asked curiously.

When they learned that King Shixing sent troops to surround "Xiao's House" at night, many people in the hall were anxious, but she was the only one who remained calm and was able to sleep peacefully.

But then again, this young lady has been through so much, and she must be too tired to fall asleep so frequently.

It’s really heartbreaking to watch!

While Li Mi was thinking, Xiao Jinyu smiled calmly and replied:

"I'm just betting on whether this emperor is so partial to his relatives that he has no bottom line. As early as in the East Palace, the painting I gave him had already hinted at the ambition of King Shixing.

Afterwards, the people again petitioned for orders in the wooden banner.

Also, the help from Li Langjun and Cui Langjun yesterday made the people in Jiankang City feel indignant about my affairs.

In this case, the people are in favor of him. If Chen Xu still wants to protect his son, he will be no different from a tyrant! "

After hearing today that Xiao Jinyu was brought into the palace by Prince Shixing, Li Mi and Cui Heng tried their best to use the power of public opinion to build momentum for her, hoping to attract the attention of the Southern Dynasty emperor through the power of public resentment and anger, and save Xiao Jinyu from the dire straits.

Unexpectedly, even though he didn't say this, the young lady had already guessed it.

It really is... so smart that he can see through people's hearts!

Li Mi couldn't help but laugh.

"My dear, your reputation has grown too high recently. Besides, you are a truly compassionate doctor. You have cured many people since you arrived in Jiankang City. Those people all remember your kindness in their hearts.

Since ancient times, when things are unfair, people will speak out. If you encounter such a thing, someone will naturally seek justice for you!"

Xiao Jinyu just smiled.

"Thank you!"

"So what next? How? What can we do for you?"

Li Mi asked a series of questions.

Xiao Jinyu glanced at the people gathered in the room. Every pair of eyes was looking at her sincerely, full of trust in her.

After a moment's silence, she opened her lips and said:

"Spreading rumors!"

"Then, I'm waiting for an opportunity!"

"A chance for them to come to me!"

……

The siege had been lifted, and the people staying in the embassy were no longer worried that King Shixing would send people to search the embassy again, so everyone dispersed.

Li Mi and Cui Heng were the first to leave the embassy. Later, Xiao Xian also took Shi Niang, Yuan Rujing and A Yuan back to Xiao's residence in a carriage under the protection of Lanling King's guards.

Originally, Xiao Xian wanted Xiao Jinyu to go back with them, but Xiao Jinyu said that she had something else to do and needed to go to Xinghua Yanyu Tower.

Although Xiao Xian was worried about her safety, he respected her wishes and did not force her.

Once again, only Lanling Prince, Xiao Jinyu, Fenghuang and Lu Yu were left in the embassy hall.

After a long silence, Xiao Jinyu suddenly said, "I will return this dress to the prince in a few days."

Gao Changgong said: "No, when I gave it to you, I had no intention of taking it back. I think you are wearing it very well. If you don't mind..."

"But this is something the prince treasures. It must have been left by an important person, right?"

Xiao Jinyu interrupted him and looked at him and asked.

Lanling Wang fell silent for a moment, and smiled slightly:

"It's not a valuable item, just accept it!" he said.

It seemed that he didn't want to talk about it, so Xiao Jinyu stopped asking and nodded with a smile, "Okay! Thank you, Prince!"

Just as she was about to say goodbye and leave, a little child suddenly rushed to her and crawled at her feet.

"Boy, what are you doing? This young lady is your savior!"

"You are so lucky, kid. If you hadn't met this miraculous doctor, even if there were gods in the world, it would be difficult to save your battered body!"

"And this young lady almost..."

"Don't blame him. He was also burdened by me..." Xiao Jinyu interrupted.

The boy with a dirty face seemed very shocked. He raised his head and stared at Xiao Jinyu blankly.

Seeing that he had been silent for a long time, Xiao Jinyu asked first, "Do you have something to say to me?"

The boy nodded, "Yes, my family was originally a merchant in Jiangzhou. My father had accumulated some wealth through years of business. But a year ago, King Shixing came to Jiangzhou to take office as the governor and forced my father to hand over all his wealth. But even so, he still didn't let us go. Not only did he kill my father and mother, he also forced my sister to be a slave in his mansion. So when I stopped King Shixing's carriage yesterday, I didn't mean to beg for money, but I wanted to assassinate him...

Madam Divine Doctor, I want to follow you and do things for you, to avenge my father, my mother, and my elder sister!"

Is this another person whose family was destroyed by Chen Shuling?

Xiao Jinyu was slightly moved.

"But your injuries are not healed yet. You need to recover. You are not safe here with me..."

"Madam, I can spread rumors. I know many beggars. As long as you teach me how to say it, I will say it."

Seeing the boy's eyes full of pleading, Xiao Jinyu's heart ached and she fell silent.

She turned her gaze to Gao Changgong again, as if making a request.

Gao Changgong immediately understood what she meant, and said to the boy, "You stay here first, and in a few days, when this young lady needs you, she will come to you!"

"Okay, thank you, brother immortal, and thank you, lady immortal!"

Xiao Jinyu looked at Lanling Wang and smiled, then asked:

"What's your name?"

The boy who was suddenly asked his name raised his head again in surprise. Being asked his name means that this beautiful lady is really willing to take him in, right?

"My name is not nice, everyone calls me...Agou!"

"It really doesn't sound good. Then I'll give you a name... Let's call you Yueying. What do you think?"

Yueying? Yueying! I have a name! I have a name!

"Thank you, ma'am. Thank you, ma'am!"

The boy was overjoyed, and soon, at Gao Changgong's instruction, he followed a guard to the bathroom to wash off the dirt on his body.

Xiao Jinyu thanked Gao Changgong again, and then walked out of the embassy with Fenghuang. But just as she took a step out, she heard Gao Changgong calling out:

"Xiao's Ayu!"

Xiao Jinyu paused and turned around, only to see Gao Changgong bringing over a veil and putting it on her himself.

"Since your mother has gone to great lengths to protect your appearance from being exposed, you must also protect yourself!"

"I will check your mother's situation in Qi for you!"

"Also...if you need anything, you can always come to me!"

Xiao Jinyu raised her head and stared at him in a daze. She knew that because of the influence of the original owner, it would be easy for her to develop a liking for Gao Changgong.

But does this different feeling come from her heart?

And in the carriage, the kiss she gave him due to the drug actually seduced him into losing his mind, but at the last moment when he wanted her, he stopped in time and came to his senses...

It would be a lie to say that she was not touched by what he said.

After thinking and pondering for a long time, Xiao Jinyu said, "Okay!" and left with Fenghuang in the car.

Gao Changgong was still worried, so he sent two guards to follow secretly.

It was not until Xiao Jinyu's carriage had gone a long way that he gradually came back to his senses.

"Prince, are you upset?"

Lu Yu joked while looking at his expression.

"Did anything happen between you in the carriage last night?"

"No, I held back..."

After muttering to himself, Gao Changgong realized something. He turned around and glared at Lu Yu. He saw that Lu Yu's face was full of sorrow and he didn't know what was in his mind!

"Don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. It will affect her reputation!"

Lu Yu nodded, but he was wailing in his heart: How can you bear this? That's a stunning beauty in my arms!

It's over, my prince is really sick. I must build a good relationship with that young lady and ask her to cure my prince!
