The general's wife knows medicine

Chapter 125 Asking for permission to go to Qianzhou

When Princess Qinghe heard this, she felt a chill in her heart and asked, "Does the general have any news?"

The maid said, "There has been no news from the general."

Princess Qinghe hugged the little girl tightly in her arms, feeling very uneasy.

The little girl felt uncomfortable being hugged so tightly, and she twisted her body and struggled.

Seeing this, Tang Peipei asked Madam Du to take the little girl away and comfort her.

Tang Peipei came to the side of Qinghe County Lord, patted her back gently, and comforted her: "Mother, don't worry too much. The general is a man who came back from the battlefield. Facing those murderous enemy troops, he could return safely. I believe he will return safely this time too."

Tang Peipei knew how quickly infectious diseases spread once they were contracted. She was also worried, but she couldn't show it.

Princess Qinghe seemed to be comforted by Tang Peipei, and nodded, "Yes, he was able to return safely despite having survived many deaths on the battlefield, and he will definitely be able to return safely now."

Tang Peipei comforted Princess Qinghe for a while, and when she saw that she was fine, she asked, "Mother, there is something your daughter-in-law wants to discuss with you."

Princess Qinghe said, "Just tell me what you have to say."

Tang Peipei considered the words in her mind, and finally decided to speak directly, saying: "Mother, I know medical skills, and my medical skills are not bad. So, your daughter-in-law wants to discuss with you and ask for permission to go to Qianzhou to treat the epidemic."

Princess Qinghe looked at Tang Peipei with a slightly suspicious look, worried that she said this because she wanted to find Mu Jintang, but she was still somewhat happy in her heart. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Tang Peipei nodded and said, "Really? Prime Minister Ye's legitimate daughter, Ye Yunshu, can testify for my daughter-in-law. Her previous illness was cured by my daughter-in-law."

When Princess Qinghe heard Tang Peipei say this, she chose to believe her in her heart, and the joy on her face was obvious. She knew that if what Tang Peipei said was true, then she could really ask for permission to go to Qianzhou.

But the joy only lasted for a while. Princess Qinghe was pulled back by reason. She sighed, took Tang Peipei's hand, and said earnestly: "Mother knows that you are also worried about Jintang, but the danger of this epidemic is no less than going to the battlefield. Although you know medical skills, it does not mean that you can really cure it. Now there is no news about Jintang. If something happens to you, what will happen to little Tuanzi in the future? Let's not talk about this matter anymore."

Seeing that Princess Qinghe disagreed with her going to Qianzhou, Tang Peipei felt a little anxious. She wanted to say something else, but Princess Qinghe waved her hand and said, "Okay, go back. I'm tired and want to rest."

Seeing that Princess Qinghe did look a little tired, Tang Peipei said no more and bowed to her, "Then mother, please have a good rest. I'm leaving now."

After bidding farewell to Princess Qinghe, Tang Peipei went to see Xiaotuanzi. Seeing that he had also fallen asleep, she sat by his bed for a while and said to Madam Du, "Madam, I'm going back to my parents' home. You should take Xiaotuanzi with you to accompany the princess more these days."

Nanny Du nodded, and Tang Peipei left the Princess Mansion and went straight back to the Wolf Hunting Village.

Tang's mother hadn't seen Tang Peipei for a long time, so she kept pulling Tang Peipei aside and asking her if she was living well in the general's mansion and if the princess was easy to get along with.

Naturally, she also heard about Mu Jintang being sent to Qianzhou for disaster relief on her wedding night, and asked a few questions, comforting her: "Now that your husband is not at home, you should be filial to your mother-in-law and don't let your husband worry about you outside."

Tang Peipei nodded and said, "Mom, I know, don't worry."

After chatting with Tang's mother for a few more words, he made an excuse to leave and went to find Lu Xinyu.

When Lu Xinyu heard that Tang Peipei had returned, she was waiting in the medicine field.

Seeing Tang Peipei coming, she smiled and said, "Sister, I have prepared all the herbs. But because we have little land and no experience, the herbs we can harvest are not very many at the moment. You can take them all first. I will ask around and get them from other herbal farmers later."

Tang Peipei looked at her with a smile and asked, "How did you know I would come to you for medicinal herbs?"

Lu Xinyu shrugged and replied, "When I learned that my brother-in-law was sent to Qianzhou on his wedding night, I guessed that my sister would definitely go to Qianzhou. Most of the medicinal herbs we grow can cure epidemics, so my sister will definitely come to me for the herbs."

Tang Peipei raised her hand to rub Lu Xinyu's head, but she dodged and said, "Sister, don't mess up my hair. It's hard to comb."

The two of them tacitly broached the subject.

Early the next morning, Tang Peipei changed into a more formal dress and went into the palace. Because she did not have an imperial edict, although Tang Peipei was a court lady, she did not have formal court dress.

Tang Peipei was a stranger to the guards guarding the palace gate, but fortunately her badge as the wife of General Weide allowed her to enter the palace smoothly.

Tang Peipei followed the route she remembered and found the imperial study where the emperor worked.

The eunuch beside the emperor had seen Tang Peipei before, and was a little curious when he saw Tang Peipei coming to the imperial study alone.

He asked, "Mrs. Mu, did you take the wrong road?"

This was the first time that a court lady came to the Imperial Study on her own. Usually, these court ladies came to the palace to see the empress or one of the concubines.

Tang Peipei smiled and handed the young eunuch five taels of silver, saying, "Eunuch, may I ask if the emperor is in the imperial study?"

When the eunuch heard that it was a visit to the emperor, he did not dare to accept Tang Peipei's money.

He asked respectfully, "I wonder what Madam Mu wants to talk to His Majesty about? How should I report this to His Majesty?"

Although the person in front of me was born in a humble family, she is now the wife of the God of War after all, so she should be shown respect.

Tang Peipei saw that the eunuch did not take her money, but was not unwilling to help her, so she smiled and took the money.

He said politely to the eunuch, "Please inform the eunuch that Mu Jintang's wife has a way to cure the epidemic and has come to see the emperor."

When the eunuch heard that there was a way to cure the epidemic, he did not dare to delay and hurried into the imperial study to report to the emperor.

After a while, Eunuch Du, who was beside the emperor, came out with an anxious look on his face, followed by the eunuch who had just come in.

Eunuch Du walked up to Tang Peipei, bowed to her first, and said, "Greetings to Madam Mu!"

Although Tang Peipei was born in the countryside, after some time of personal instruction from Princess Qinghe, she knew that she could not accept this courtesy from Eunuch Du.

Tang Peipei stepped aside and said to Eunuch Du with a smile, "Eunuch, you are really embarrassing me. You are an old man by the emperor's side. I, a woman of the first rank, deserve this kind of courtesy."

Seeing that Tang Peipei handled things with moderation, Eunuch Du began to appreciate her a little.

He smiled and asked, "I just heard that Madam has a way to cure the plague. Is it true?"

In fact, Eunuch Du didn't quite believe that this village woman would have a way to cure the epidemic. He thought that seeing how she handled the matter just now, if the eunuch had misheard, he would be able to help explain it later.

After all, the emperor has been unable to sleep or eat due to the epidemic in Qianzhou during this period, and he attaches great importance to this situation.

If there was any mistake after the meeting with the emperor, Madam Mu would be in big trouble no matter how high her status was. Besides, she didn't even have an imperial decree.

Thinking of this, Eunuch Du couldn't help but give some advice, "Madam Mu, this matter can't be joked about, or you will be charged with deceiving the emperor."

Eunuch Du was very afraid because Tang Peipei had just entered the aristocratic family and didn't know how serious it was.

Tang Peipei naturally saw the good intentions of Eunuch Du, and said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern! But don't worry, I know what I am doing. I dare to go to the palace to find the emperor today, so I really have a way."

Seeing that she was so confident, Eunuch Du stopped talking and said to Tang Peipei, "Then please ask Madam Mu and this old servant to come in."

After saying that, he went into the imperial study first.

Tang Peipei followed closely behind.
