The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 126 Meeting the Emperor

Tang Peipei lowered her head and walked to the emperor's desk, kowtowed to him and said, "I, your humble servant Mu Tang, pay my respects to His Majesty. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor!"

I only heard a slightly hoarse voice coming from the front saying, "Get up."

Tang Peipei stood up in response, stood respectfully, and waited for the emperor to ask questions.

The emperor stared at Tang Peipei curiously, but she didn't speak for a long time.

Tang Peipei was waiting for the emperor to ask questions so that she would be qualified to negotiate terms.

The emperor gave Eunuch Du a look.

Eunuch Du understood and said, "Madam Mu, didn't you ask to see the emperor? Why are you silent now that you see the emperor?"

Tang Peipei cursed the old fox inwardly, then said with a smile: "Isn't this subject waiting for the emperor to ask questions?"

The emperor could see through Tang Peipei's little thoughts. He found it funny and thought that Tang Peipei was an interesting person. Somehow, he was willing to give her this ladder.

He coughed lightly and said, "I heard that Madam Mu has a way to cure the epidemic?"

Tang Peipei nodded and said, "I don't have any way to cure the epidemic..."

Hearing Tang Peipei's words, Eunuch Du became anxious and asked, "Madam Mu, do you know what crime it is to deceive the emperor?"

Tang Peipei said calmly: "Don't be impatient, sir, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Then she raised her head and looked straight at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, although I don't have a way to cure the epidemic now, I know medical skills. I would like to ask for permission to go to Qianzhou to help Your Majesty solve his problems."

After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed heavily.

The emperor had never seen any minister who dared to face him directly. It could be said that even in the court, few people dared to face him directly.

He didn't expect that the village woman Mu Jintang married was so brave.

Seeing that the emperor remained silent for a long time, Tang Peipei looked up.

Seeing the emperor looking at her with deep eyes, Tang Peipei felt her back tighten and she quickly lowered her head again.

I couldn't help feeling a little scared, and thought to myself: This is the imperial power.

His eyes were calm, yet filled with majesty that was irresistible.

The emperor's leisurely voice came, "Do you know that there is no news about my fifth prince and your husband now?"

Tang Peipei replied: "I know, and that is why I came here today to ask for your permission."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and in his heart he couldn't help but think highly of Tang Peipei. She was worthy of being the wife of his god of war and was courageous.

However, the emperor's mood at this moment was mixed.

The imperial physicians sent to Qianzhou were among the best in the Imperial Medical Bureau in terms of medical skills, but now they are helpless.

He didn't know how good Tang Peipei's medical skills were, so he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

However, after the imperial edict was posted for these two people, no one took it down, which gave him a headache.

Finally someone came and said he wanted to go to Qianzhou to treat the epidemic, but it turned out to be Mu Jintang's newlywed wife.

If this can really be cured, it would be a good thing, but if it can't be cured and something unexpected happens, it will be troublesome.

Not only will Mu Jintang be a trouble, it will also be difficult to explain to the people of the world.

After all, Mu Jintang enjoys a high reputation among the people. He was sent to Qianzhou on his wedding night. Now he is sending his new wife there. If something unexpected happens, what will the people think of him?

The emperor frowned, trying to make a choice between the two dilemmas.

Tang Peipei hadn't heard the emperor ask questions for a long time, and couldn't help but complain in his heart, why did the emperor breathe heavily when he was talking about something? Why didn't he speak again?

Tang Peipei quietly raised her head and looked at the emperor, and saw that he had a frown on his face and seemed to be hesitant.

Tang Peipei thought about it and knew the reason. She took the initiative to speak: "Your Majesty, I think my medical skills are pretty good, and I have the confidence to treat the epidemic in Qianzhou. If Your Majesty is worried about my safety, don't worry too much. Even if I can't cure the disease, I can definitely prevent it."

Hearing him say this, the emperor felt relieved and asked, "Are you serious? Can you really prevent the epidemic?"

Tang Peipei had experience from her previous life, so she still had some preventive prescriptions in her mind.

Nodding, she said, "I know some methods and prescriptions for preventing epidemics. When I go to Qianzhou, I will cooperate with the local officials and try to control the epidemic within a certain range."

With Tang Peipei's assurance, the emperor was more tempted, but in order to prevent Mu Jintang from causing trouble later, he asked, "Do you really want to go to Qianzhou?"

Tang Peipei nodded firmly, "Your Majesty, yes. My husband is in Qianzhou. If I can help Your Majesty and share my husband's worries, I will definitely go."

The emperor was delighted and said, "In that case, you should leave immediately for Qianzhou. If you need any medicine, just report it to me."

Tang Peipei didn't expect that the emperor was so considerate. She happily borrowed pen and ink from the emperor, wrote some necessary medicines on the spot and gave them to Eunuch Du.

"Eunuch Du, please prepare as many of these medicines as you can. They are essential medicines for treating and preventing diseases."

Eunuch Du took it with both hands and went to the Imperial Hospital in person.

Tang Peipei also said goodbye to the emperor and returned to the general's mansion.

After returning home, he wrote a letter to Princess Qinghe and his uncle Lu Lifeng.

Then he started packing the clothes he needed for going to Qianzhou. Because he had to hurry, Tang Peipei just found two pieces of clothes that were easy to wear.

It has to be said that Eunuch Du was very quick. As soon as Tang Peipei had arranged the affairs in the mansion, he personally brought two carriages of medicine to the general's mansion.

He also brought an imperial edict.

Eunuch Du smiled and said to Tang Peipei: "Madam Mu, the emperor has an order, please accept it."

Tang Peipei straightened her clothes and knelt down to listen to the order.

Eunuch Du said, "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that General Wei De Mu Jintang's wife Tang Peipei is a woman of virtuous character and talent, and is granted the title of a third-rank lady of virtue. This is my decree!"

Imperial edicts were granted to high-ranking officials or officials with outstanding political achievements who had to go to the emperor and request them. Only the women in their families were eligible to receive imperial edicts.

In fact, Tang Peipei would have the status of a royal concubine sooner or later. If Mu Jintang had not gone to Qianzhou right after her wedding, with his military achievements and position of a first-rank general, she would have been a royal concubine now.

Therefore, the emperor gave Tang Peipei an imperial status at this time. On the one hand, he wanted Tang Peipei to do his best to treat the epidemic. On the other hand, he also wanted to tell the world that he valued Mu Jintang.

But Tang Peipei didn't care about his thoughts. She just wanted to go to Qianzhou as soon as possible and find Mu Jintang.

After receiving the imperial edict, Tang Peipei packed up and set off.

Lu Xinyu was waiting at the city gate early and handed Tang Peipei two carts of medicinal herbs.

Tang Peipei smiled and waved to Lu Xinyu, saying, "Wait until I come back and thank you!"

Lu Xinyu nodded and replied, "Okay, Xinyu will wait."

Tang Peipei got into the carriage and set off.
