Chapter 111: Home Again

As soon as she walked into the door of her courtyard, Fengheyuan, the little white fox flew into Zhao Ling's arms like an arrow, raised its head, and looked at her with two watery big eyes that glowed with bright blue light. The fox let out a whimpering sound, as if it missed her.

In the past few days, she had been busy investigating the case and taking care of Meng Yuan, so she had indeed neglected it. She stroked a shallow scar on its leg, which was the wound from the last blood draw. And for such wounds, there would be more than a dozen more on its body. 

Thinking of this, Zhao Ling smoothed the white fur on its back, and said with some distress. "Little fox, I know it's hard for you."

There was no other way, for Meng Yuan's health, she could only make the little fox suffer a bit.

The little fox let out a few hoots, put her face close to her, and kissed her little mouth wildly, which made Zhao Ling numb and itchy, and laughed out loud.

Luzhu and Qingluo heard the movement and came out of the back room. They saw Zhao Ling and came forward with a smile.

"Miss, you're back!" Luzhu shouted happily, pulling Zhao Ling's sleeve with a look of joy on her face. "Miss, the emperor has given you a lot of silk satin and jewelry, and there are several boxes in total. Well, the eyes of the slave maid are dazzled, come in and take a look."

Qingluo also had a look of joy on the side, and nodded again and again.

"You little girls are making a fuss. Miss must be hungry after a long day of exhaustion. So, why don't you two hurry up and help prepare the food, let the lady sit down and eat before talking." Madam Xu poked her head out from the inside, also with a happy look on her face. 

Looking at the large boxes piled up in the house, Zhao Ling raised her eyebrows. This old emperor was really generous, and she didn't know if he was really rewarding him, or if he was just trying to make up for Meng Yuan's guilt in disguise. 

But since the presents were all rewarded, she would not be polite to decline them. The old emperor even rewarded her with the unique death-free golden token of the entire Dasheng Dynasty. These fabric jewelry were just trivial to him.

She picked out a few and gave them to Madam Xu, Green Bamboo, Qingluo and others, and gave a few pieces of silver to the cleaning servants in the courtyard. She chose a few suitable ones to keep, some ordinary jewelry. As for the rest of the jewellery, she asked the green bamboo to take them to Luoyufang to sell them. 

She seldom wore gold and silver, along with pearl rings and emeralds. No matter how much jewelry she had, it was not as real as a scalpel.

However, some things with obvious royal characteristics were not easy to be sold in the store, so they have to be kept.

After dinner, it was still early, Zhao Ling made Qingluo prepare a pot of tea as usual, and sat by the window to study the medical book that Duan old man left her. Under the guidance of Situ Gong, she had already mastered some of the contents of the book, so now it seemed that it was not as difficult as before.

Turning to see the girl Luzhu standing beside her with a look of hesitation, she asked, "Luzhu, what's wrong with you, is something wrong?"

Lu Zhu murmured, and told Zhao Ling about what she had inquired from Rulan.

Rulan was the girl by Cui's side, and she had a good relationship with Lu Zhusu. According to what she said, Zhao Ruo had just come to the house a few days ago, crying to Mrs Cui. It was as if Meng Yunce was suffering from mold sores.

Green Bamboo blushed as she spoke. In fact, she didn't understand this disease very well at first, but it was only after the explanation of madam Xu that she understood it. It turned out to be such a mildew disease, and she, a little girl, was naturally a little ashamed to talk about it.

Mold sores? Zhao Ling was stunned for a moment, as if he had seen it in Old Duan's medical book. She flipped through it, and sure enough, there was a record in the medical book.

The mildew mentioned here, from Zhao Ling's modern point of view, was actually a typical venereal disease, which was commonly known as flower willow disease. 

Often walking by the river, how could he not wet his shoes, presumably because this Meng Yunce lingered in the flowers all year round and did not pay much attention to his private life. This is the end of promiscuity.

However, Meng Yunce had been hanging around in the flowers for so many years, and he should be very experienced to know the effects. She suddenly remembered how frivolous and rude he was to her last time. Could it be Meng Yunce's secret trick again?

The disease of mildew was not an incurable disease. In fact, in modern times, as long as penicillin was used, it was expected to be cured, but here, penicillin was definitely not available, and she was not a professional researcher of pharmacology, so she couldn't prepare penicillin temporarily.

However, in Duan old man's medical book, there was a detailed description of the treatment. Among them, there was a prescription prepared by Old Man Dan, which was said to be a good medicine for the treatment of mildew.

It was just that this disease was contagious. If Meng Yunce was suffering from this disease, then Zhao Ruo and the rest of his concubines may suffer from it.

Now, Zhao Ruo should really sit and cry.

However, she did not have a good impression of Meng Yunce, and naturally she would not take the initiative to diagnose and treat him. He was the heir to Prince Rong, and some had money to hire famous doctors.

And she didn't have time to pay attention to this matter, because the annual Qixi Festival was coming soon.

Every Qixi Festival, a large-scale banquet will be held in the palace. All members of the royal family, including the emperor, queen, harem concubines, princes and princesses, would be present. Family members and children of senior officials and nobles in Sheijing would also be invited to participate.

At the Qixi Festival banquet, unmarried women must perform their talents, and the unmarried men present would select the most talented woman of the show, and the winner had the right to ask the emperor for a wish.

Therefore, this Qixi Palace Banquet was a big event for the Dasheng royal family and the unmarried men and women in the noble families.
