Chapter 151 Foresight   Er...   So, it's not that others don't want to tell her about Emperor Yan's illness, but that they think she doesn't want to see anyone?   As if seeing her confusion, Lu Huai smiled and explained: "Acheng asked for an imperial decree for you, and everyone thought it was your intention, so no one dared to disturb you."   "Really?" Tang Xi smiled slightly, "So, the city lord is still foresighted."   Xie Cheng coughed lightly, picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea.   Xie Ling rarely saw her brother like this, and couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.   After they chatted and laughed for a while, Lu Huai suddenly stood up and said, "It's getting late, I should leave the palace."   Xie Ling nodded, "Let Ah Cheng see you off."   Xie Cheng stood up and looked at Lu Huai and said, "Let's go."   Lu Huai lowered his head and kissed Xie Ling's forehead, then smiled at Tang Xi, "Miss Tang, see you next time."   Tang Xi nodded slightly, "How about we see you off too?"   "No!" Lu Huai shook his head and smiled, "I'm afraid you'll be surrounded before you even leave the house."   Tang Xi's mind flashed through that scene, and she shuddered, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "Then I won't see you off, take care!"   Lu Huai chuckled, and went out with Xie Cheng and left the yard.   Tang Xi looked at Xie Ling, who was smiling, shrugged, and sighed helplessly.   "I heard from the Queen that you are treating the Tenth Princess?" Xie Ling asked.   "Yeah." Tang Xi nodded. "The Tenth Princess is a nice girl. Although she is young, she is very open-minded. At first, I thought she would be a spoiled and willful girl, but I didn't expect that she has a good temper."   Xie Ling was surprised. "Are you talking about the Tenth Princess?"   "Yes." Tang Xi nodded. "She was here just now. I gave her a jar of my homemade facial mask."   "That's a bit strange!" Xie Ling said, "The Tenth Princess's temperament has changed a lot since her face was disfigured. Every time she meets someone, she speaks in a sarcastic tone, especially when she meets the Eleventh Princess. However, she can treat you in a friendly way, which proves that she gets along well with you."   "Really?" Tang Xi was a little surprised. "Maybe her face is better, so her temper has also improved?"   "It's possible!" Xie Ling said, "Before the Tenth Princess got sick, she was very gentle. Although she was young, she was well-behaved and polite, and very likable. Among the princesses, His Majesty loves her the most."   Tang Xi sighed after hearing this, "I hope her temperament will return to what it was before after her face recovers."   "Oh, right!" Xie Ling asked in confusion, "What is the facial mask you just mentioned?"   "Oh, that's just right. I also made an extra small jar for you. Aren't you sleeping here tonight? I'll bring it to you later."   "Okay."   "Didn't Miss Manxiang come with you?" Tang Xi was curious.   Xie Ling shook his head slightly, "I didn't ask her to come with you."   "Is Miss Manxiang the maidservant who came with the Crown Prince's wife?" Tang Xi asked casually.   "No." Xie Ling shook his head. "Manxiang was originally a maidservant of the prince. After I got married, the prince asked her to serve me."   "Really?" Tang Xi was surprised. "I saw that Miss Manxiang seemed to be very good to the prince's wife. I thought she was originally a maidservant in the Xie mansion."   "No, Manxiang and my original maid Lingxiang are old acquaintances. They are from the same village. Lingxiang was left to me by my mother before she died. She is several years older than Manxiang. However, Lingxiang is older and has someone she likes. Two years ago, I arranged for her to leave the mansion and get married."   Tang Xi smiled slightly. "The prince   's wife is really kind." Some maids are trapped in the deep mansion for almost their entire lives, serving as slaves for others all their lives, or being arranged to marry some mediocre house-born sons, and their lives pass by in a mediocre way.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 152 The Same Person   "This is what Lingxiang deserves." Xie Ling sighed lightly, "Her biological mother, Yao Ma, was originally my mother's personal maid. After Yao Ma passed away, she took care of my mother. Later, she followed me for another twelve years after my mother passed away. She has worked hard for so many years. I really want to give her a good home. I can't drag her around for the rest of her life."   Tang Xi smiled and said, "It is Miss Lingxiang's blessing to meet such a good master like you."   Xie Ling smiled slightly when he heard this, "Miss Tang is really good at praising people."   "I didn't!" Tang Xi blinked innocently, "I usually tell the truth."   "For example, Acheng is very interesting?" Xie Ling teased with a smile.   "Uh... is he boring?" Tang Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, "I think City Lord Xie is quite interesting. Not only is he attentive, but he can also make people happy, which is good."   "Oh?" Xie Ling was surprised, "Are you talking about the same person as the Acheng I mentioned?"   Tang Xi chuckled, "If the Acheng mentioned by the Crown Princess is the City Lord of Hanshui City, then they are undoubtedly the same person."   "This is the first time I have heard so many advantages of Acheng from others." Xie Ling smiled, "In the past, what I heard from others was either cold-blooded or self-righteous. Miss Tang is definitely the first person to praise Acheng except for us relatives."   "But..." Xie Ling hesitated, "This funny... I really don't know."   Xie Cheng's personality has been like this since he was a child, cold and silent most of the time, especially after his father and mother passed away, he spoke even less. Sometimes, if no one took the initiative to talk to him throughout the day, he would remain silent.   Xie Ling knew that he was attentive, but could he really make people happy... could her brother really do that?   "Haven't you seen it?" Tang Xi was surprised. "I remember one time, Mo Yi insulted me a few times, so I asked him where he found the person and why he was so venomous. He joked: If you don't like him, I'll change someone else. Mo Yi was so scared that his face turned pale and he almost cried. Hahahaha——"   Tang Xi recalled and laughed first.   "Did he really say that?" Xie Ling was surprised.   Mo Yi has been with Xie Cheng since he was a child. To Xie Cheng, he is more like a brother. If it were any other time, he would never make such a joke.   "Yeah." Tang Xi coughed lightly and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the cold Lord Xie would make such a joke."   Seeing her laughing happily, Xie Ling couldn't help but smile, thinking: My brother is really special to Miss Tang!   Xie Cheng sent Lu Huai out of the palace and didn't come back until Shen time. After having dinner with Tang Xi and Xie Ling in the courtyard where Tang Xi lived, he left in a hurry.   Before falling asleep, Tang Xi took out a homemade Chinese medicine mask and applied it to herself and Xie Ling. After washing their faces, they went back to their own rooms to sleep.   The next morning, Xie Ling got up and looked at her face. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, no wonder Tang Xi's face always looked smooth and delicate, it turned out there were so many beauty recipes. Her   skin was fine when the weather was warm, but it would be a little dry when it was cold. However, since she used Tang Xi's beauty cream, she didn't see any peeling in the cold weather this year. In addition, she applied the so-called "mask" yesterday, and it seemed to be more delicate than yesterday.   It seems that she has to buy a few more boxes of beauty cream from Tang Xi, otherwise, when she runs out of it, it will take a long time to have it delivered from Hanshui City.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 153 How Can I Not Hate   Tang Xi walked around the yard after breakfast a few days ago. Sometimes when she was tired, she would rest in the pavilion, and sometimes she would even lie down on the stone table in the pavilion to take a nap.   But since Xie Ling came, she no longer did these things. Instead, she asked the palace maids to prepare tea and melon seeds, and took Xie Ling to the room to let her tell her some interesting gossips in the capital.   Xie Ling was not a gossiper. Usually, she would just listen silently to what others said, and never told anyone else. But in the past two days, she told Tang Xi everything.   Tang Xi just laughed it off for everything else, but there was one thing that she remembered very clearly, because this gossip had something to do with Xie Cheng.   "Did Princess Honglian finally marry the eldest son of the Li family?"   "Yes." Xie Ling smiled and said, "After all, if she didn't marry after doing something like that, no one would dare to marry her in the future. At least, the powerful families in the capital would never marry such an immoral girl."   Tang Xi showed sympathy after hearing this, "Then Mr. Li is also a poor man. He actually married such a disaster home. I think the Li family will never have peace, right?"   "Yes!" Xie Ling sighed lightly, "Princess Honglian thought that Mr. Li was interested in her, so she called Acheng away and entered the painting boat. But she didn't know that Acheng happened to have something to do at that time, so he sold the painting boat to Mr. Li."   "Ah?" Tang Xi was shocked, "So it was the city lord who harmed Mr. Li?"   "Acheng really didn't know about this, and selling the pleasure boat to Young Master Li was an unintentional act." Xie Ling said, "However, Young Master Li is not a good person. Relying on his prominent family background, he has harmed many decent women, some of whom even died because of him. He doesn't deserve sympathy."   Hearing this, Tang Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I said, how could the city lord frame an innocent person? It turns out that Young Master Li is such a despicable person!"   Xie Ling chuckled, "Isn't it? Marrying Princess Honglian is also his retribution."   "What about now?" Tang Xi asked curiously, "What about Young Master Li?"   "No matter how prominent the Li family is, it can't compare to the Luo Palace. Even if they know that Princess Honglian was at fault, they dare not show it. As for Acheng, they dare not offend him even more." "   So, Young Master Li is done for?" Tang Xi asked.   "That's about it. Now, the entire Li Mansion has been devoured by Princess Honglian. Young Master Li's concubines are either dead or injured. They are so pitiful."   Tang Xi was stunned. "Is Princess Honglian so vicious?"   "Yeah!" Xie Ling sighed lightly. "Young Master Li is fine, but those people in his backyard are too innocent!"   "This Princess Honglian is really not a human being!" Tang Xi thanked: "Fortunately, the city lord escaped, otherwise, being entangled by such a poisonous snake would probably ruin his life."   "Isn't it?" Xie Ling said: "I was also shocked when I heard about this."   Tang Xi pondered and said: "The Li Mansion must hate the city lord to death, right?"   "Of course they hate him, but Acheng didn't expect that Princess Honglian would join forces with the owner of the pleasure boat to plan this. He only found out about it afterwards. It was not intentional."   Tang Xi nodded slightly. "I'm afraid it's not just the people in the Li Mansion who hate him, right?"   "Yes!" Xie Ling smiled bitterly, "Originally, Prince Luo's plan was to marry Princess Honglian to Ah Cheng. Unexpectedly, the plan was disrupted by Ah Cheng. How could he not hate his precious daughter for marrying such a despicable person?"   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 154 So pitiful   "Then... they didn't cause trouble to the city lord in private, did they?" Tang Xi was a little worried.   Xie Ling said: "I heard from the prince that there were a few groups of assassins, but they were all stopped by others."   "Others?" Tang Xi was curious, "Why did they stop those assassins?"   "Alas--" Xie Ling sighed lightly, "Speaking of this, it's another grudge."   Tang Xi sighed twice and said: "I didn't expect that the city lord is so young and has so many enemies. It's really pitiful."   Xie Ling was speechless in his heart, but he agreed on the surface: "It's quite pitiful."   "Little genius doctor, the tenth princess is looking for you again!"   As soon as the palace maid reported it, Tang Xi's eyes lit up instantly.   The last time the tenth princess came, she gave her a silver note of two thousand taels. This time, I don't know what she will give, "Please come in!"   Seeing her like this, Xie Ling thought that she liked the tenth princess very much, so she showed such an expression, but she didn't know that what she valued was the "thank you gift" brought by the tenth princess.   "Divine doctor, here I come again!"   As soon as the voice fell, the two saw a light pink figure running over quickly.   Hearing the cheerful tone of the Tenth Princess and the self-proclaimed name, Xie Ling could not help but be startled.   In front of outsiders, the Tenth Princess usually only calls herself "this princess", but has never called herself "I". It seems that she really likes Tang Xi.   "Divine doctor, look at my face!"   The Tenth Princess automatically ignored Xie Ling on the side, jumped in front of Tang Xi, looked at Tang Xi happily, and the light in her eyes was extremely bright.   "Oh!" Tang Xi pretended to be surprised and said, "You recovered so quickly!"   Only two days have passed, and the bumps on the Tenth Princess' face have been smoothed out a lot. Although they are still there, they are shallow and you can't really see them if you don't look closely.   The Tenth Princess chuckled and said, "I haven't shown it to anyone else. You are the first one to see it."   "Really?" Xie Ling chuckled, "Am I the second one?"   The Tenth Princess restrained her smile and was about to get angry, but when she saw it was Xie Ling, she was stunned, "Sister Ling'er, why are you here?"   "What?" Xie Ling raised her eyebrows, "Can't I be here?"   "Ran'er didn't mean that!" The Tenth Princess curled her lips, "Ran'er just didn't expect that Sister Ling'er was here too."   Xie Ling joked, "From the moment you entered the door, you have been focusing on the genius doctor. How could you see your Sister Ling'er?"   The Tenth Princess blushed slightly and explained, "Ran'er was just happy and wanted to share the results with the genius doctor. She didn't mean to ignore Sister Ling'er."   "Okay!" Xie Ling chuckled, "Sister was just joking, don't take it seriously."   The Tenth Princess smiled happily, walked up to her, took her arm and said, "So, Sister Ling'er and the miracle doctor know each other?"   Xie Ling scratched her nose and smiled, "Didn't the Queen tell you who brought the miracle doctor?" "   Well~" the Tenth Princess shook her head, "Didn't she say."   Xie Ling smiled, "It was your brother Cheng who brought him."   "Ah!" The Tenth Princess suddenly realized, "No wonder I met him at the Crown Prince's place a few days ago, it turns out that the miracle doctor was brought by Brother Cheng!"   "Really?" Xie Ling smiled, "The miracle doctor is your brother Cheng's friend."   "So that's how it is!" The Tenth Princess suddenly understood. She said to Tang Xi, "If Ran'er has been rude in the past, please forgive me, doctor. But please don't tell Brother Tongcheng. The way he looks at people is scary, especially when he is angry." The   Tenth Princess pursed her lips and said, "I don't know why those palace maids admire him. When they see him, their souls seem to fly away. They are stunned and have no self-control at all."   (End of this chapter)

Chapter 155 Invitation to the Qin Mansion   "How good-looking is City Lord Xie? Princess, have you seen anyone better looking than him?"   Tang Xi has always thought that she is obsessed with appearance, and she is even more certain after she traveled through time and met Xie Cheng.   "What's the use of being good-looking?" Princess Ten snorted coldly, "He is always cold and icy, whoever marries him will be unlucky."   "You can't say that!" Tang Xi disagreed, "City Lord Xie is so good, what if he is only like that to others, but gentle to his wife?"   She just thinks that Xie Cheng is a good person.   "Why does the miracle doctor always speak for him?" Princess Ten was depressed, "Could it be that the miracle doctor likes him too?"   "City Lord Xie is my second friend since I came to this world..., of course I have to stand by him."   "Ah?" Princess Ten was shocked, "Did the miracle doctor have no friends before?"   Tang Xi smiled slightly, "I didn't like to talk before, and the girls in the village didn't like to play with me."   The original owner was introverted and a little inferior, and she didn't like to talk at ordinary times. When she was bullied, she would just endure it silently. Over time, she developed a taciturn personality.   "Ah?" The Tenth Princess was surprised, "I really didn't realize that."   "Yeah!" Xie Ling was also a little surprised, "I thought Miss Tang was always a cheerful person."   "I only figured it out later." Tang Xi smiled, "I just think people should be happier."   The Tenth Princess agreed, "That's right, if Brother Cheng also had the understanding of the genius doctor, he wouldn't have lived like that."   Tang Xi and Xie Ling both chuckled at the same time.   "By the way!" The Tenth Princess took out an invitation from her sleeve and handed it to Tang Xi, saying, "This is for you!"   "What is this?" Tang Xi was puzzled.   The Tenth Princess said, "This is an invitation from the Qin Mansion."   "Qin Mansion?" Tang Xi frowned, "But I don't know it."   Xie Ling explained, "The Qin Mansion is the maternal family of the queen."   "Yes!" The Tenth Princess nodded, "My uncle has set up a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet and invited all the young people from the noble families in Beijing to participate. Your invitation was personally sent to the palace by my uncle."   Tang Xi said in embarrassment, "But I have something to do at home and will leave Beijing soon. I'm afraid I can't stay long."   "The day after tomorrow is the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. The genius doctor will stay for two more days!" The Tenth Princess took her arm and shook it slightly.   Tang Xi hesitated and said, "How about asking City Lord Xie first?"   She was a little worried about Tang Zheng and Tang Xiao. If she was not in Xie Mansion, they would definitely not feel at ease.   "No need to ask!" The Tenth Princess smiled, "How can my uncle's banquet be without Brother Cheng?"   Tang Xi blinked, "So... City Lord Xie is going too?"   The Tenth Princess nodded repeatedly, "Of course I will go. My uncle and Brother Cheng are good friends."   "Good friends? Friends regardless of age?"   "Puff--"   Xie Ling couldn't help but sneer, "Qin Yang and Acheng are the same age."   The Tenth Princess couldn't help but cover her lips and laugh, "If my uncle heard what the doctor said, I'm afraid he would get sick."   "Uh... I'm sorry, I thought the Tenth Princess' uncle was the Queen's brother." This can't be blamed on her.   "Ignorance is not a crime!" The Tenth Princess smiled and said, "Then it's a deal. When the time comes, the doctor will go with me!"   Tang Xi said, "But I'm leaving the palace tomorrow."   "No problem!" The Tenth Princess said, "I'll wait for you at Qin's house, and you can go with Sister Ling'er."   "The Crown Prince's Consort is going too?" Tang Xi's eyes lit up.   "Yes!" Xie Ling smiled and nodded.   "Well then!" Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and said, "I don't understand the rules of you powerful people. If there are any taboos, please remember to tell me in advance, otherwise, you will lose face."   "What are you afraid of?" The Tenth Princess raised her chin and said, "With this princess here, as long as you don't commit a heinous crime, I will cover anything for you!"   Tang Xi was happy to hear this, "Then I would like to thank the Tenth Princess in advance."   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 156 Receiving Reward   Tang Xi thought she had to endure another day before leaving the palace, but she didn't expect that in the afternoon, after seeing off Xie Ling, the emperor summoned her and Xie Cheng.   "I heard from someone that you don't like jewelry. Tell me, what do you want?"   In the lobby of the Dragon Palace, Emperor Yan looked at Tang Xi and asked.   Who is this someone? Even if Emperor Yan didn't say it, Tang Xi knew who it was.   She smiled and blinked at Xie Cheng, then bowed to Emperor Yan and said, "It is my honor to treat the emperor. I dare not ask for a reward."   "Well." Emperor Yan nodded, "In that case, I won't reward you."   Huh? Tang Xi's smile froze, and she forced a smile with regret, "As long as you are happy!"   At least give a hundred taels, the queen will give three thousand taels at a time, Emperor Yan won't even have three thousand taels.   "Hahaha!" Emperor Yan couldn't help laughing when he saw her expression, "Eunuch Yan, bring the things here."   "Yes!"   Eunuch Yan smiled and brought the things over. Tang Xi couldn't see what was inside because it was covered by red silk.   Emperor Yan smiled and said, "City Lord Xie said that you don't like the things given by the emperor, so Zheng converted all those things into silver. Here are 20,000 taels. Take it."   20,000 taels?   Tang Xi's heart trembled, and her hands were shaking slightly when she took the reward.   She got rich!   Those things given by the emperor can't be sold even if she took them. This silver note is more real. As expected, Xie Cheng understands her best!   She suppressed her anger and knelt down to thank him, "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty!"   Eunuch Yan smiled and said, "This is what you deserve. If it weren't for you, how could His Majesty's body recover so quickly?"   This attitude was a little more respectful than when they first met.   Tang Xi smiled at Xie Cheng, "Thank you, City Lord!"   Xie Cheng bowed his head slightly, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.   Emperor Yan asked with a smile, "Besides the reward of silver, what else do you want? For example, a title?"   Tang Xi's eyes lit up, "No need for a title. If Your Majesty is interested, could you agree to one of my requests?"   Emperor Yan nodded, "You say."   "Can you reward me with a gold medal of immunity from death? The kind that will allow me to survive even if I offend someone." She pursed her lips and said, "I have been born in the common people and don't know the rules. I might accidentally offend someone one day. Besides, as a doctor, I know how precious my life is. So, I hope Your Majesty can agree to this small request."   "Yes!" Emperor Yan nodded, "Eunuch Yan, go and get the gold medal of immunity from death."   "This... Your Majesty, are you really going to give the last gold medal of immunity from death to the little genius doctor?" Eunuch Yan hesitated.   "What?" Emperor Yan was stunned. "You dare to question my decision?" Eunuch   Yan was shocked and knelt on the ground. "I made a slip of the tongue. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"   Tang Xi had just received the golden medal of immunity from death, and Emperor Yan pretended to be impatient and said, "Okay, take advantage of this moment, pack up and leave the palace."   "Yes!"   "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Ying led the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to ask for an audience!"   As soon as the two stood up, they heard Eunuch Liu coming in to pass on the message.   "What are those old guys doing here?" Emperor Yan snorted coldly. "They have been practicing medicine for decades and have read a lot of ancient books, but their medical skills are not as good as a little girl in the folk. They still have the nerve to come here? I feel ashamed for them."   Upon hearing this, the imperial doctors outside the palace all lowered their heads in shame.   "Your Majesty, is it to be announced or not?" Eunuch Liu asked with some embarrassment.   "Well." Emperor Yan said, "Since they don't feel ashamed, let them in."   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 157 Leaving the Palace   After Liu Gonggong hunched over and agreed, he walked to the door of the hall and said loudly: "Announce, the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital are here to see you!"   "Your Majesty, I greet you!"   The imperial doctors, led by Imperial Doctor Ying, walked in and knelt down to pay their respects.   "Get up."   Knowing the purpose of their coming, Emperor Yan had no intention of making things difficult for them.   "Thank you, Your Majesty!"   The imperial doctors thanked in unison and stood up, their burning eyes instantly falling on Tang Xi.   Tang Xi was so scared that he shrank slightly behind Xie Cheng.   "Don't be afraid, little genius doctor!" Imperial Doctor Ying said with a smile: "I came here today because I have something to ask you."   "What is it?" Tang Xi asked as he poked his head slightly from behind Xie Cheng.   "I have something I don't understand." Imperial Doctor Ying said: "It's about those prescriptions. The other medicines are common, but I have never heard of the tranquilizing grass. I wonder where this tranquilizing grass grows?"   The imperial doctors pricked up their ears and were ready to listen.   Tang Xi shook his head, "I don't know either. The Ningshen grass was left to me by my master after he passed away."   "Master?" Doctor Ying pondered, "I don't know. Is the master of the little genius doctor a doctor?"   "I don't know!" Tang Xi still shook his head, "I have only known my master for a year. He has never told me his last name or his name. He is only responsible for teaching me medical skills, and I never ask anything else."   "Where did the little genius doctor meet your master?" Doctor Ying asked again, hoping to find some clues from it.   Tang Xi said, "In the back mountain of Gaopo Village, Luobian Town."   "Oh?" Emperor Yan was surprised, "The little girl is also from Luobian Town?"   Tang Xi nodded, "Yes!"   "I didn't expect that this Luobian Town actually has hidden dragons and crouching tigers." Emperor Yan sighed, "It's a pity that natural disasters are ruthless and turned a good town into a wasteland."   "Does the little genius doctor still have the Ningshen grass?" Doctor Ying wanted to study where this herb grows.   "Yes!" Tang Xi nodded honestly, "But I don't have it with me."   "Where is it?"   "In the yard where I live."   After hearing this, Doctor Ying said with a shameless face, "Can   you give me some?" "Sure." Tang Xi nodded slightly, "Come with me, I'll get it for you."   "Okay, okay!" Doctor Ying said excitedly, "Little doctor, please go first!"   Tang Xi raised his hand and gently pulled Xie Cheng's sleeve. Xie Cheng understood and nodded slightly to Emperor Yan, then walked out.   "I'll take my leave!"   Doctor Ying bowed to Emperor Yan and hurriedly followed the two. When the other doctors saw this, they also took their leave and followed.   After returning to the yard, Tang Xi entered the house, grabbed a handful of tranquilizing grass from the space and stuffed it into a small cloth bag, then took it out and handed it to Doctor Ying.   "This is for you!"   "Thank you, little genius doctor!" Imperial Physician Ying took it with trembling hands, "I wonder what disease this Ningshen grass can cure if used alone?"   Tang Xi explained: "Ningshen grass is as its name suggests, it has a calming effect on the mind and is very effective in treating insomnia."   "Thank you, little genius doctor, for telling me!"   After Imperial Physician Ying got the herbal medicine, he led a group of imperial doctors back to the Imperial Hospital to prepare for further investigation.   As soon as they left, Tang Xi hurried into the house to pack up. When she was done packing and was about to meet up with Xie Cheng, she saw an old maid leading several palace maids waiting outside the house.   "This old slave/youth servant greets the little genius doctor!"   The maid led several palace maids to salute her.   When Tang Xi saw this, she hurriedly bowed in return, but her eyes were staring at them with confusion.   The old maid smiled and said, "This old slave is the maid beside the Queen Mother. I came here today because the Queen Mother asked me to send the little genius doctor out of the palace."   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 158 There are times when one says one thing and means   another Tang Xi suddenly realized, "So it's someone close to the queen. Excuse me!"   The nanny smiled and said, "Please come in, little doctor!"   Tang Xi nodded slightly, took two steps forward, and then stopped. She turned around and hesitated, "Aren't we waiting for City Lord Xie?"   "There are differences between men and women. Although the little doctor came with City Lord Xie, they need to go separately."   As if she was afraid that she would worry, the nanny said, "Don't worry, little doctor. City Lord Xie has just left the palace in advance. He will wait for you at the palace gate."   Hearing this, Tang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh! Okay!"   A glimmer flashed in the nanny's eyes, "Please come in, little doctor!"   Tang Xi nodded, and followed the nanny out of the yard.   "Little doctor, please get in the sedan chair!"   It turned out that there was already a sedan chair waiting outside the yard. Tang Xi breathed a sigh of relief. If she walked to such a large palace, it would be dark by the time she reached the palace gate.   When they arrived at the palace gate, Tang Xi had just gotten off the carriage when the maid quietly stuffed a purse into her hand and whispered, "This is what the Queen ordered me to give to the little doctor."   Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took off her purse and stuffed it into the maid's hand, "Thank you for   your hard work, maid!" The maid squeezed the purse, smiled and nodded, "Then I'll take it here!"   Tang Xi nodded slightly, and when she looked forward, she saw Xie Cheng standing in front of a carriage waiting.   In addition to Xie Cheng, there was also a young man who looked a bit like Lu Huai.   "Is this Miss Tang?"   As soon as she approached, the man asked with a smile.   Tang Xi walked to Xie Cheng's side and nodded slightly to the man.   Xie Cheng introduced her, "This is Lu Bei, Lu Huai's brother from the same mother."   Tang Xi smiled at Lu Bei, "Hello! I'm Tang Xi."   "I've heard of Miss Tang's name for a long time, but I didn't expect to have the honor of meeting her today!" Lu Bei said to the two of them, "Please get on the carriage first, and we'll talk slowly."   After getting on the carriage, Lu Bei looked at Tang Xi and said, "I've always heard from my elder brother that Miss Tang has excellent medical skills and can cure any stubborn disease. I thought she must be a girl with a lot of experience, but I didn't expect that Miss Tang is so young!"   This really surprised him.   Tang Xi said modestly, "You are too kind, my lord."   Lu Bei smiled slightly, but couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It's rare for someone so young to have such attainments in medical skills and to be able to remain calm and not arrogant after curing the emperor.   "City Lord, are we going to the Anding Marquis' Mansion?"   Seeing that Xie Cheng was only drinking tea and didn't say a word, Tang Xi couldn't help but want to break his silence.   "Yeah." Xie Cheng replied calmly, put the teacup back on the low table, closed his eyes and said, "The road is still long, you continue to chat."   Lu Bei was stunned, then smiled knowingly.   Tang Xi looked puzzled, always feeling that something was wrong, but she didn't notice what was wrong.   She shook her head slightly, and saw Lu Bei looking back and forth between her and Xie Cheng with a playful look, and she couldn't help but feel suspicious. Why did she feel that Lu Bei's eyes were a little wrong?   Lu Bei coughed lightly and smiled at her, "It's still half an hour to Anding Marquis Mansion. If Miss Tang feels tired, you can take a rest first." "   Okay!" Tang Xi nodded slightly.   To be honest, the sedan chair she took out of the palace did make her a little tired.   She pursed her lips, glanced at Xie Cheng beside her, and then closed her eyes to rest.   Who knew that she fell asleep after closing her eyes for a while.   Xie Cheng, who was really resting his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes after hearing the faint snoring.   Lu Bei raised his eyebrows at him and said in a low voice: "I can't believe you can't escape the beauty trap."   Xie Cheng said coldly: "I don't know what you are talking about."   "Really?" Lu Bei smiled silently, "Then why were you unhappy just now?"   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 159: Anding Marquis Mansion (1)   "You think too much." Xie Cheng said, and closed his eyes again.   Lu Bei sneered, "I didn't expect that the omnipotent Lord Xie would say one thing and mean another."   Xie Cheng opened his eyes and said coldly to him, "If you dare to say anything more, you will walk back by yourself."   "Okay, okay, okay!" Lu Bei surrendered, "I won't say anything!"   Xie Cheng always kept his word and didn't care whose carriage this was.   Lu Bei was always a man of tact. If Xie Cheng didn't let him say anything, he wouldn't say anything.   Seeing that the carriage finally quieted down, Xie Cheng closed his eyes again.   At this time, the carriage seemed to have run over something and suddenly shook. At the same time, Xie Cheng felt his shoulders suddenly sink.   His body stiffened, and he turned his head slightly to see that the sleeping girl smacked her lips twice and fell asleep on his shoulder.   Xie Cheng's eyes softened, and he did not push her away, but let her lean on him.   Lu Bei just made a sound of "tsk", and before he could speak, he was frightened by Xie Cheng's warning look and quickly shut his mouth.   When   the carriage drove into the Anding Marquis' Mansion, Tang Xi woke up in a daze. "Awake?"   

The cold voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and she couldn't help but be stunned.   

When she realized what she was leaning on, she couldn't help but sit up straight in fear.   

She slowly turned her head and stole a glance at Xie Cheng's shoulder. When she saw the water stains on it, she couldn't help but wipe the corner of her lips awkwardly.   

"That... I'm sorry, City Lord, I fell asleep, and I don't know how... I leaned on you..."   

Her voice became smaller and smaller, and she almost cried in the end.   

Lu Bei wanted to laugh but was afraid of Xie Cheng, so he could only try his best to hold it back.   

Xie Cheng moved the shoulder she was leaning on and said in a light voice: "It's okay."   

"Or, let me wash your cloak for you!" Tang Xi suggested.   

It was so embarrassing. Not only did she fall asleep without any defense in front of two grown men, but she also drooled. Sob, sob, sob—it was so embarrassing!   

"Yeah."   

She thought Xie Cheng would refuse, but he took off his cloak neatly and stuffed it into her arms.   

Tang Xi: ...   

Didn't you see that she just mentioned it casually?   

Didn't you say that Lord Xie doesn't like others to touch his things? Who is talking nonsense?   

Lu Bei couldn't help it and just burst out laughing. It would have   

been better if he didn't laugh. When he laughed, Tang Xi felt her face burning and she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.   

"Sir, we're here!"   

The carriage soon stopped in the courtyard of Anding Marquis's Mansion.   

Lu Bei cleared his throat and said to the two of them, "We're here. Please go first!"   

Xie Cheng got up and got off the carriage first. When Tang Xi saw him, he also got up and followed.   

Finally they are here!" As   

the three of them arrived at the lobby door, they saw Xie Ling and a girl helping a friendly-looking woman out.   

"Mom!"   

Lu Bei was the first to call out.   

Xie Cheng bowed slightly, "Meet the Madam!"   

The wife of the Marquis of Anding smiled kindly, "Let's go inside first, it's very cold outside."   Tang Xi bowed slightly to Xie Ling and the girl, and the two smiled at her at the same time.   After entering the house, the wife of the Marquis of Anding took Xie Cheng to ask about his health.   

Xie Ling whispered to Tang Xi, "This is my mother-in-law, and the one next to her is my sister-in-law, Lu Xin."   

Tang Xi nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.   

"This is Miss Tang, right?" Lady Anding Hou looked at Tang Xi and said with a smile: "Thank you for the Ningshen Grass. If it weren't for the Ningshen Grass, I don't know when my insomnia would be cured."   

Tang Xi nodded, "It's my honor!"   

"This child is really good at talking!" Lady Anding Hou asked with a smile: "Are you hungry?"   

Tang Xi shook her head, "I ate a box of snacks before leaving the palace, so I'm not hungry yet."

Chapter 160: Anding Marquis Mansion (2)   "Dinner will be ready soon!" After saying this, Madam Anding Marquis looked at Lu Bei and said, "Go to the study and call your father and elder brother, and tell them that City Lord Xie and Miss Tang have arrived."   "Why should I go?" Lu Bei said dissatisfiedly, "Isn't my younger sister sitting there? I just came back from picking someone up, and I haven't even had a sip of hot tea yet, and you're willing to order me around."   Lu Xin raised her eyebrows proudly, "This is not the first time, second brother, aren't you used to it?"   "Okay," Madam Anding Marquis looked helpless, "You guys are arguing in front of the guests like this, don't you have any manners?"   Lu Bei snorted coldly, got up and went out in a bad mood.   Madam Anding Marquis looked at the two of them and said in harmony, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed Xiaocheng and Miss Tang."   "No, no!" Tang Xi smiled and waved her hands, "This proves that Master Lu and Miss Lu have a good relationship."   In her previous life, she also liked to quarrel with her brother, but later when she learned that she was sick, her brother cried.   Thinking of her relatives in her previous life, Tang Xi's eyes flashed with sadness.   "What's wrong?"   The first person to notice that she was in a bad mood was Xie Cheng who was beside her.   Tang Xi shook her head, "It's nothing, I just envy Miss Lu for having a brother to quarrel with."   "Miss Tang, don't be envious," Lu Xin said with a smile, "My brother wants to snatch everything from me. When he hears me praising someone, he asks people to investigate everything. It's really annoying."   Tang Xi smiled, "That's also good for Miss Lu."   "Isn't it?" Lady Marquis Anding said, "If it weren't for Xiaobei, the child would have been deceived. Who is the young master of the Luo family? He looks like a decent person on the surface, but his behavior behind the scenes is no different from that young master Li." "   Mom!" Lu Xin said coquettishly, "I don't know people well. Can you please stop mentioning it? It's so embarrassing."   "You don't know people well either?" Lady Marquis Anding snorted coldly, "If it weren't for your second brother being smart, your life would be ruined."   Lu Xin pouted, pulled her mother's sleeve helplessly, and said, "Okay, mom, it's over and you're still mentioning it. There are guests here. How can a mother tell her daughter's embarrassing stories to the guests?"   "You are afraid that the guests will hear your little thing? Who in the whole capital doesn't know this? Hurry up and sit down. It's not decent to tug and pull at each other." The wife of Marquis Anding looked helpless.   Lu Xin sat up straight and laughed awkwardly at Xie Cheng and Tang Xi.   Tang Xi smiled slightly, but Xie Cheng remained silent, with no other expression on his face.   At this moment, Lu Bei happened to call Lu Huai and Marquis Anding back.   Xie Cheng stood up and saluted Marquis Anding, "Meet the Marquis." When   Tang Xi saw this, he also stood up and saluted, "Tang Xi meets the Marquis!"   "We are family, no need to be polite." Marquis Anding asked the two to take a seat.   Unlike Lu Huai and Lu Bei, who seemed to be casual, Marquis Anding looked a little serious.   Tang Xi was used to living casually and liked to tease people. He was most afraid of meeting a serious person like Marquis Anding.   After dinner, Marquis Anding found Xie Cheng and asked about the illness of the Emperor of Yan. He was surprised to hear that the Emperor had recovered.   Marquis Anding nodded slightly after being surprised, and asked again: "Where did you find that little girl? Who is behind her?"   Xie Cheng explained calmly: "She is just an ordinary villager in Luobian Town. She was lucky enough to meet a master who taught her medical skills. There is no one behind her."   "Yes." Marquis Anding nodded slightly, "I heard from Ah Huai that the old lady's illness has been cured. Could it be that this little girl also cured her?"   Xie Cheng nodded, "That's right!"
