"What, are you sure?" When Li Xiu heard the Zhou Shenjun in front of him say that the Wu family was going to choose a woman to enter the palace, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and shouted, "Has all his efforts been wasted, and Wu Mingkong would be sent to the palace in the end?"

"This... I just heard that, I don't know whether it is true or not." Zhou Shenjun didn't expect that Li Xiu would have such a big reaction after hearing that the woman from the Wu family was going to be sent to the palace. He couldn't help but answered nervously.

Li Xiu suddenly woke up when he heard this. No matter how anxious he was, it was useless. The best way for the current plan was to find out the matter clearly, so he immediately thanked Zhou Shenjun in front of him. He originally wanted to go back immediately, but seeing that Heianlang next to him kept holding the apprenticeship ceremony and did not let it go, which made him feel a little reluctant. In the end, he tried to calm down. Anyway, the matter of choosing a concubine could not be decided in a day or two, so he was not in a hurry.

Zhou Shenjun's wife's disease was quickly diagnosed. She was caused by the accumulation of water in the abdomen caused by liver and kidney yin deficiency, so her abdomen was bulging and thin. In fact, it was the liver and ascites of later generations. Mrs. Zhou's disease was still in the early stages and her stomach shouldn't have risen so much, but she was a heavy person and took more salt. As a result, the liver was not good. In addition, the salt intake exceeded the standard, so she couldn't even accumulate water in her stomach.

Although this disease is troublesome, it is not difficult for Sun Simiao. Soon he prescribed a prescription for nourishing the liver and kidneys, cooling blood and removing blood stasis for the other party, and reminded the other party to pay attention to their diet in the future and try to eat some light food. This made Zhou Shenjun and his wife very grateful, so they took the prescription and went to the city to get medicine.

In this era, medical treatment and medication were separated. Sun Simiao was a doctor and was only responsible for medical treatment. If you want to get medication, you had to go to a pharmacy. However, in order to facilitate some ordinary patients, there are also some common medications in the medicine. However, for some prescriptions that use more medication, you have to go to a special pharmacy.

After Zhou and his wife left, Li Xiu immediately brought Ping Anlang in. After a few greetings, they immediately got to the point. Ping Anlang officially became a disciple of Sun Simiao and then gave him a gift to apprenticeship. Sun Simiao also smiled and accepted Ping Anlang as a disciple. Ping Anlang was calm and calm, and was born a good seedling for being a doctor. Moreover, he studied with Li Xiu since he was a child and mastered a lot of knowledge that even Sun Simiao did not understand. These will be of great help to his path of studying medicine.

There were too many patients here in Sun Simiao, so Li Xiu did not waste his time too much. After he became a disciple, he planned to say goodbye and leave, but Ping Anlang stayed because he wanted to learn medicine with Sun Simiao now, so Li Xiu did not refuse this, so he left Yaoguan the last person.

After returning home, Li Xiu immediately asked someone to inquire about the selection of concubines in the palace. In fact, he knew a little about this. Last year, someone suggested that Li Shimin had not many concubines in the palace. Of course, this is not much compared to the emperors in history. For example, the concubines of emperors like Yang Guang were several times that of Li Shimin. In addition, there were not many princes, at least they could not compare with Li Yuan, so some people suggested choosing concubines.

But there were too many things last year. First, Li Yuan died, and then something happened to Li Chengqian, and Empress Changsun fell ill. In addition, the storm of Li Tai's residence in Wude Hall made Li Shimin not have the heart to choose a concubine, so this matter was rejected by Li Shimin. However, the storm of this year has subsided, and Empress Changsun's condition has also improved. As a result, she actually brought up this matter on her own initiative. Li Shimin didn't care about it. Anyway, there were so many women in his harem, so he didn't care about it.

Of course, because Li Yuan had just passed away for a year, although the emperor had some exceptions in etiquette, the choice of concubines at this time was not a good influence, so Empress Changsun was doing this in the name of selecting palace maids. However, the requirements for this group of palace maids were extremely high. They all must be from official families, and after entering the palace, they would be named female officials, and their status was much higher than that of ordinary palace maids.

Li Xiu never cared about these things in the palace, but he did not expect that the Wu family would send the women in the house into the palace. Without asking, it was definitely the idea of ​​Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang. After all, after the death of the Wu Shishi, the Wu family respected their brothers, and even the Yang family was inferior to their brothers in status.

Thinking that his student was going to be sent to the palace, Li Xiu couldn't help but be furious. He couldn't sit still anymore and directly sent a team of guards to Bingzhou, asking them to take over all four Wu's mother and daughter to prevent the Wu brothers from sending Wu Mingkong into the palace. Anyway, Wu Mingkong was his student, and the so-called teacher was like a father, and the warrior was gone, so he had to take on the responsibility of Wu Mingkong's father.

Although the people were sent out, Li Xiu was still worried. After all, the Bingzhou was too far away. When his people arrived there, the daylily might be cold. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel very heavy, and even a little bit self-blame. Why didn't he send someone to Bingzhou to bring them back earlier?

What made Li Xiu even more sad was that Li Jin asked him about Wu Mingkong from time to time, and he didn't dare to tell him about this. Instead, he had to make lies to make him feel at ease, which made him feel even more guilty.

However, what Li Xiu did not expect was that the people he sent to Bingzhou had just left for a few days and actually brought Wu Mingkong and his daughter back, which surprised him very much. After all, the speed was too fast.

"Sir!" As soon as the carriage stopped at the door, Wu Mingkong jumped out of the carriage. Seeing Li Xiu, he screamed in grievance and rushed over, then hugged Li Xiu and cried. At this time, Yang also took a little loli out of the carriage. He looked a few years younger than Wu Mingkong. He was Wu Mingkong's sister, named Mingze. It was probably the name he had chosen according to Wu Mingkong's name.

"Okay, don't cry, why are you back so quickly?" Li Xiu nodded to Yang at this time, and then comforted Wu Mingkong, but he was a little surprised at this time, because he had never seen Wu Mingkong's elder sister Wu Shun get off the car. Didn't she come back with Wu Mingkong?

Wu Mingkong seemed to be greatly wronged. He hugged Li Xiu and cried for a long time without stopping. Instead, the guard leader standing beside him replied: "Your Madam, we met Mrs. Wu halfway, so we escorted them all the way!"

"First... sir, we... almost couldn't come back, and my elder sister... she..." Wu Mingkong said while crying, but when he talked about her elder sister Wu Shun, he started crying again and couldn't even continue talking.
