The rural doctor bought a husband who was very treacherous

Chapter 134 Meeting with Qi Lingheng

Su Tang had thought about bringing the coachman back to the space, but later she thought and decided to let the coachman return to Dahe Village to deliver a message to Old Man Su and the others.

After all, she would be staying in Beijing for a long time, and she was afraid that Old Man Su and the others would worry.

Another thing is that she also needs to let Old Man Su know that she has recognized the Second Prince.

However, she did not write any letters. She only drew a scroll of family portrait and asked the man to take it back.

I guess when Father Su saw the family photo, he could guess that she had already recognized the Second Prince.

After seeing off the coachman, Su Tang returned to Kyoto.

Su Tang went to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

The Duke Dingguo's Mansion is also in the east of the city, and the now extremely powerful Duke Dingguo is a person that all the dignitaries in the capital want to make friends with.

Su Tang easily found the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

But the guard guarding the door didn’t know Su Tang.

"This is the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Outsiders please stay away." One of the guards looked at Su Tang and shouted loudly.

"I'm looking for Qi Lingheng. Is he in the mansion?"

"Are you looking for Prince Qi?" The guard looked Su Tang up and down.

Ever since Qi Lingheng returned to Beijing, quite a few brave young ladies from officials' families in the capital sent their maids to the gates of the government offices to inquire about Qi Lingheng's news.

But those people were turned away by Qi Lingheng, and Qi Lingheng also spread the word that any woman who came would be driven away.

"Well, is he in the mansion?"

"Our prince doesn't see women. You'd better leave immediately and don't stay outside the mansion." The guard frowned and said to drive him away.

Su Tang raised her eyebrows after hearing this.

She slapped her forehead, wondering how could she have forgotten that Qi Feng was still in the space.

Why is she wasting time here with these door gods?

Then, Su Tang turned and left.

But she walked further and further away, just to find a secluded alley.

Finally, she found an alley with few people coming and going, and she summoned Qi Feng out of the space.

Qi Feng was brought out suddenly, holding a potato in his hand.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Qi Feng had not yet realized that he was already in Kyoto.

"Madam." Qi Feng grabbed Tu Dou's hand and placed it behind his back, then bowed and greeted Su Tang.

"Well, we are in Kyoto now. I want to see Qi Lingheng, but I can't enter the Duke Ding's Mansion."

Su Tang briefly explained, and Qi Feng immediately patted his chest and promised, "Madam, I will take you into the mansion."

Although Qi Feng was Qi Lingheng's secret guard, he had the general's token of the Qi family army on him. With the token, he could enter and leave the Duke's Mansion freely.

Su Tang smiled and thought that it would be more convenient to bring Qi Feng and the others out.

When the guards at the gate of the Duke's Mansion saw Su Tang turning around the corner, they were still wondering why Su Tang came back again. Before they could think of anything else, someone followed Su Tang out.

Qi Feng walked half a step behind Su Tang, and the two of them arrived at the gate of the mansion again.

Before the guards could ask any questions, Qi Feng took out a token from his arms and held it high.

Several guards saw the token clearly and immediately half-knelt down. "I greet General Seven."

"Well, is the prince in the mansion?" Qi Feng asked without calling on those people to stand up.

"In the mansion." A guard replied.

"Miss Su, please come in."

They were now in Kyoto. Only a few people in the Qi family and their servants knew about what happened between Su Tang and Qi Lingheng in Dahe Village. Since the master had not made it public, Qi Feng certainly could not tell it out first.

Therefore, although Qi Feng treated Su Tang with great respect, he no longer called her the Crown Prince's Wife.

Qi Feng led the way in front and asked about Qi Lingheng's current location along the way.

Qi Lingheng was in the study of Duke Dingguo at this time, discussing matters with his staff.

"I will take you to the courtyard where the deceased lived first."

Qi Feng used gestures that only the secret guards in the mansion could understand. He made a few gestures to the people hiding in the dark, and then took Su Tang to Qi Lingheng's yard.

"it is good."

When Su Tang arrived at the yard, Qi Lingheng also rushed over.

He didn't expect that Su Tang would come to Kyoto. When Su Tang left Dahe Village this time, she did not communicate with him.

"My wife." Qi Lingheng's eyes were full of joy. He walked forward and took Su Tang's hand to look at her carefully.

"When did my lady come here...you have this dress and hairpin?"

Although Su Tang looted a lot of property from Beilu City, most of the property there was crude stuff. They just looked valuable but there was nothing precious.

The clothes Su Tang was wearing were specially made for the royal family. Although the hairpin looked simple in style, upon closer inspection it was also used by the ladies in the palace.

"I met an old friend, and that person gave it to me." Su Tang said with a smile.

"Oh? Madam, do you have old friends in Beijing?" Qi Lingheng asked puzzledly.

"Well, you forgot, I am a doctor. This time I came to Beijing to treat patients, but I didn't expect that the patient was an old friend."

When Su Tang was talking to Qi Lingheng, everyone inside and outside his room had already been sent away by Qi Feng, and Qi Feng was even standing in the yard to keep watch for the two of them.

Qi Lingheng grabbed the teapot on the table and poured a cup of herbal tea for himself and Su Tang.

Su Tang didn't mean to make it clear, so Qi Lingheng didn't ask any more questions.

"You should have a place to live now. Where is it? I can find you if I need anything." Qi Lingheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of herbal tea.

Maybe the tea has been brewed for too long, it tastes astringent when you drink it.

"Meiyuan, have you heard of it?"

"Meiyuan." Qi Lingheng had of course heard of it; it was the property of the second prince.

Su Tang’s old friend turned out to be the second prince?

Qi Lingheng looked at Su Tang and suddenly felt that Su Tang was somewhat similar to the Second Prince.

This discovery made him feel a complex emotion, as if he saw some kind of connection, but it was difficult to put it into words.

"Since you have already come to Beijing, you might as well move to Prince Qi's Mansion. The courtyard there is much bigger than the Plum Courtyard." Qi Lingheng turned the teacup in his hand, his tone casual.

Su Tang knew that he was talking about Qi Lingheng's own mansion. Previously, Emperor Jing, out of guilt towards the Qi family and Qi Lingheng's achievements in the northern border, made Qi Lingheng the King of Qi and awarded him the King of Qi's Mansion.

Su Tang did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a moment.

She knew that Qi Lingheng's proposal was out of concern and care for her, but she also understood that moving to Prince Qi's Mansion might cause unnecessary trouble.

After all, people in the capital don’t know the relationship between her and Qi Lingheng. If they live in the same mansion, it is inevitable that people will have some associations.

Seeing that Su Tang didn't say anything, Qi Lingheng continued, "The mansion has been empty before, so it will be more convenient for you to do things."

Su Tang understood the meaning of Qi Lingheng's words, but still shook her head gently and said, "I'd better stay in the Plum Courtyard first. I still have to treat that person. Let's talk about it later."

Qi Lingheng nodded. "Well, if you change your mind, tell me at any time. I'll have someone arrange everything for you. Also, if you encounter any problems or difficulties in Kyoto, you can come to me and I'll help you solve them."
