Chapter 434 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 45
Ling Xi accompanied Shi Yi back to Qinghe, and Hong Xiaoyu and Li Feng escorted them with three thousand soldiers.
A few days later, they arrived at Qinghe. Ling Xi and Hong Xiaoyu were waiting outside, while Shi Yi and Li Feng went to meet the third lady of the Li family.
Hong Xiaoyu's face showed worry: "I wonder if Junior Sister can convince Master Yu?"
Ling Xi smiled lightly: "Don't worry, Sister Xiaoyu. The head of the Yan family is a smart man. He can see the situation more clearly than us. What's more, the Yan family now relies entirely on Yan Guang. If something happens to Yan Guang, their family will be targeted by other families. Therefore, Yan Guang will definitely find a guarantee for their family."
For that old fox, Guang, this kind of thing is an opportunity.
With Zhou Shengchen around, Zhao Teng and Liu Yuan are of little use, so this time, to rescue the emperor, he only needs Yan Guang to come forward to intimidate the court officials, and he can also curry favor with the emperor and the empress dowager. How could he miss such a good opportunity.
After a while, Shi Yi came out.
Also accompanying him were the third and fourth ladies of the Yi family.
Shi Yi walked up to Ling Xi and said, "Sister, my uncle is sick. I'm afraid I need you to go and take a look at him."
Ling Xi didn't take it seriously: "What kind of trouble is this? Isn't this the reason why I came here?"
Madam Sanyi slowly moved to Ling Xi's side and said politely, "I am sorry to trouble Miss Ling this time. I heard from Sanlang that it was you who cured Shi Yi's aphasia. I am sorry to trouble you again this time. You are the benefactor of the Yan family."
Madam San and Madam Si bowed solemnly to Ling Xi, but Ling Xi turned half of his body away and did not accept their greetings.
"You are too polite, Madam. I am just following orders this time. As for Shi Yi, I like her and treat her as my sister. Since she is my sister, there is no need to be so polite."
The smile on Lady San's face became even more intense, "Miss Ling is admirable."
While walking on the road, Ling Xi realized that, just as she expected, Guang was sick and his illness was very serious.
The kind that's about to die.
In order to make the other branches of the Yi family wary, Yi Guang had been recuperating in the Yi family's academy under the pretext of compiling historical records, without letting anyone know except the third and fourth wives of the Yi family.
In the academy, Ling Xi met Guang.
Guang, who looked like an old fox a few years ago, is now too sick to get out of bed and looks like he is not far from death.
Yu Guang opened his eyes and saw a group of people gathered in front of the bed.
He first glanced at Shi Yi and Li Feng, and then saw Ling Xi.
When he saw Ling Xi's face, memories from many years ago and the side story outside Zhongzhou a few years ago resurfaced.
Xi Guang's voice was old and hoarse: "Is this girl from the Nanchen King's Army?"
Ling Xi smiled slightly: "I am Ling Xi, the military doctor of the royal army. I am here on the orders of the prince to ask for a favor and to treat him."
Xi Guang stared at Ling Xi with a dazed look, as if he was looking at another person through this face.
"Sorry to bother you, girl." He said something and started coughing again.
Ling Xi took off the medicine box on his back and put it aside.
He took out the pulse pillow and wanted to take Guang's pulse.
At this time, Yu Guang looked at Yu Sanniang and the others and said, "Sanniang, you guys go out first. I have something to talk to this girl alone."
Sanniang was stunned, and subconsciously asked in confusion: "Brother?"
Apart from her, the other three also didn't understand.
Yu Guang explained: "Didn't this girl say that His Highness had something to ask me for help? I have to ask for clarification."
Only then did Lady San slowly walk out.
Shi Yi didn't understand what she meant. She looked at Ling Xi, and after Ling Xi nodded, she followed Madam San out of the room with peace of mind.
Ling Xi placed the pulse monitor under Xi Guang's wrist and began to examine his body carefully.
"The girl looks very much like someone I once met."
Yu Guang looked at Ling Xi and suddenly said this. His words were very strange and confusing. Ling Xi seemed to understand something in her heart. Yu Guang must be talking about her mother.
Guang lived a long life and experienced three dynasties of the Northern Chen Dynasty. It is said that he had also been a diplomatic envoy to the previous dynasty.
Her mother was from the previous dynasty, and it was normal for Guang to have met her mother.
Ling Xi's movements were steady, his expression calm and indifferent, he asked back: "Really? Who is Mr. Yu talking about? Is there a chance to meet him?"
Yu Guang was in a daze for a moment, and when he heard the voice, he actually felt a little sad.
"No chance, that man is already dead."
Guang seemed to see the peerless beauty in Ling Xi. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life.
It’s a pity that in these troubled times, such beauty is a disaster.
"I wonder who the girl's parents are?"
Ling Xi shook her head: "I don't know. I was born without a father or a mother. My grandfather picked me up from the wild."
Hearing this, Guang was confused.
No father or mother? Then it doesn't matter.
Could it be that he guessed wrong?
How come they look so similar, like mother and daughter?
Guang doesn't believe in coincidence. There are no such things as coincidences in the world.
Not to mention, she was a woman of such stunning appearance.
After Ling Xi took the pulse and put away the pulse pillow, he said to Xi Guang: "Mr. Xi is old, but he still works hard. It's not good for him to worry so much."
In Ling Xi's opinion, Guang was just old and had put in too much effort, so he was tired.
Guang smiled and said, "The younger generation in my family is useless, so I, an old guy, am the only one who can hold on a little longer."
Their Yi clan was the largest clan in Northern Chen, seemingly flourishing and with an extraordinary status.
But in a big family, there will inevitably be some struggle for power.
Other branches of the Yu family have been coveting them for a long time.
Their Wushuifang is temporarily supported by him, as the younger generation below are not yet able to support the family.
If not, why would he have asked the late emperor for a marriage contract between the royal family and Shi Yi?
But this engagement is not of much use now.
While packing up the medicine box, Ling Xi said, "I'll give you some medicine and some pills I made. If you take them on time, you won't have any problems worrying too much and living a few more years."
Xi Guang cannot die for the time being.
Guang was a man of high prestige among the literati of Northern Chen, and he came from a prominent family, so he was very useful.
Even if he had to die, he would only die after she and her brother had taken over Bei Chen and used him to get things done.
When he heard Ling Xi say that he could live a few more years, Guang's old and turbid eyes suddenly lit up.
He struggled to ask: "Do you think I can live a few more years?"
Several doctors said that he would not live long, but when he came to Ling Xi, he could actually live a few more years.
He didn't take Ling Xi's pulse diagnosis seriously at first, but it turned out that his medical skills were really superb!
Ling Xi nodded: "That's right, but Lord Yi should worry less. This way, you can do more for the younger generation and add more glory to the Yi family."
"Thank you very much, young lady." Yu Guang was very grateful.
