"There's no need for you to participate in tomorrow's glass bazaar," the nun said after a moment's thought.
"Lady, why …" The purple-clothed man paused. Just as he was about to ask for more details, the nun waved him off.
"The situation in the Qi Kingdom has changed. The blue-clothed and purple-clothed emissaries will leave the capital with me. One blue-clothed emissary will stay behind to contact the believers in the capital. Time is of the essence, so make your preparations. We'll depart at noon tomorrow at the latest," the nun said calmly as she looked into the distance.
"Yes, Lady!"
The purple-clothed man cupped his hands and bowed. "I'll make the arrangements immediately."
After slowly retreating from the courtyard, he walked up to the crowd still kneeling outside. "Xu Zheng."
A blue-clothed man immediately stood up. "What are your orders, purple-clothed emissaries?"
The purple-clothed man said in a low voice, "The Lady has ordered that the emissaries of the Holy Religion and above must leave the capital tomorrow. However, we cannot abandon the believers in the capital. Among the emissaries, you are the most familiar with the capital. You will stay behind to contact and develop the believers. Do you have any objections?"
The blue-clothed man cupped his hands. "I'll follow the Lady's orders!"
He then raised his head. "What about the Lady's other avatar …"
The purple-clothed man frowned. "From now on, you will be in charge of all matters concerning the Holy Religion in the capital. You may act as you see fit."
"Yes, Lady!"
The blue-clothed man said loudly.
The blue-clothed men behind him all looked envious. The young man was the youngest blue-clothed emissary of the Holy Religion. Because of his outstanding abilities, he had risen from a common believer to a blue-clothed emissary in less than a year. If he were to advance one step further, he would become a purple-clothed emissary, second only to the Lady and the Protectors. Now that the believers in the capital were handed over to him, it was only a matter of time before he became a purple-clothed emissary.
"Li Yi …"
Within the courtyard, the middle-aged nun looked in a certain direction and slowly recited the name.
… …
… …
The Wang Clan was going to hold a glass auction soon. This was a business that involved at least a million taels of silver. Perhaps it was because he had seen too much silver and treasures in the past few days, but at this moment, Li Yi actually calmed down.
Duan Wu and Li Yingcai were playing marbles in the courtyard. The two of them didn't have much fun for many days. The old granny was going to send this brat to a math college. After a while, Duan Wu would also have to go to the Princess Royal Highness's female college.
The two elders were talking to Ruyi in the room. Li Yi had accidentally walked in and was thrown out.
He turned around and glanced at them. He was really worried that the two elders would bring up a sensitive topic. He had been having a headache over this matter for the past few days.
Looking up at the sky, he estimated that it was about time. After all, he still had to make a trip to Hibiscus Garden today. Walking out of the door, he saw Fang squatting under a tree, looking up at the sky.
"Let's go." Li Yi glanced at him and got into the carriage.
…
Inside the room, Old Madam of the Li family pulled Ruyi's hand and asked anxiously, "Do you like to eat sour food these days?"
Ruyi nodded and said, "A little …"
"Tell me, did your period come last month?" Although Old Madam He was blind, at this moment, her lifeless eyes seemed to be glowing. She hurriedly leaned over and asked in a low voice.
Ruyi blushed and said, "Last month, last month, not last month …"
Old Madam Li's face immediately revealed an ecstatic expression. She said, "Quick, quick, go find a doctor. You two are so old, why don't you know anything …"
Looking at Old Madam Li who hurriedly went out to make arrangements, Ruyi opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
It was just a habitual discomfort. Even a grandmaster couldn't avoid these matters with women.
Sometimes, she even wished that she wasn't a grandmaster.
Now that the Li family was considered influential, they naturally had to find the best doctor.
After an hour, a famous doctor in the capital was helped out of the carriage. He was dizzy from the jolting along the way and first held onto a tree outside to regain his composure. Before he could regain his composure, he was dragged into the mansion by a man.
The man surnamed Xu said impatiently, "If you want to vomit, you can vomit later. Let's get down to business first!"
The doctor had a helpless expression on his face, but he also knew that he couldn't afford to offend this family, so he was dragged in by the man.
Not long after, the doctor withdrew his hand from the woman's wrist.
"How is it? Are you pregnant?" Old Madam Li asked impatiently.
Although the woman didn't say anything, there was a look of anticipation on her face.
"Pregnant?"
The doctor looked at Old Madam Li in confusion and shook his head. "I haven't felt the pulse of pregnancy. Young Madam, you've been worrying too much lately and have been depressed. Wait for me to write you a prescription. You'll recover after a period of time …"
Old Madam Li was startled for a moment before a trace of disappointment appeared on her face. She immediately smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Doctor …"
She turned to look at Ruyi and held her hand. "It's alright. You're still young. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future …"
Ru Yi nodded and smiled faintly.
After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, the doctor handed the prescription to Old Madam Li. Before he left, he turned back and said, "Mental illness requires mental medicine. Pills can only be used as a supplement. Young Madam, you should let go of the knot in your heart as soon as possible."
When he finished speaking and turned around, a carriage came from the side and slowly stopped in front of the Li Mansion.
A white-haired old man carrying a medicine box got out of the carriage. When he raised his head and saw the people at the gate, he was slightly stunned.
Ruyi looked at the old man and walked up to him, saying, "Doctor Liu, my husband just went out. I'm afraid he won't be back until very late."
Liu Jimin shook his head and said, "I'm not here to see County Uncle Li. Two days ago, County Uncle Li said that Madam Li wasn't feeling well and asked me to come and see her. It's just that I've been delayed by something these past two days."
Ruyi smiled and said, "If that's the case, Doctor Liu, come in and have a seat."
She only vaguely knew that this Doctor Liu seemed to be an imperial physician in the palace and had a close relationship with her husband. Even if she didn't need him to treat her, she couldn't neglect him.
At this moment, Old Madam Li was disappointed and didn't have much interest in this Doctor Liu. As for the doctor just now, he looked at Liu Jimin with slight dissatisfaction. After thinking for a moment, he actually went in again.
"Xiao Huan, go make a cup of tea for Doctor Liu." After entering the hall, Ruyi first ordered Xiao Huan.
"Yes, Miss." The servant girl immediately trotted away.
After Liu Jimin sat down, he directly looked at Ruyi and said, "I don't know if Madam Li can let me take your pulse first."
Ruyi smiled and said, "My body has been much better these past two days. There's no need to bother Doctor Liu."
She really didn't want to hear the same words a second time.
Old Madam Li came over and said, "Your health is more important. Let Doctor Liu take another look."
She was frightened when she heard the words' heart disease 'and' heart medicine 'just now. It's not a bad thing to have another doctor take a look.
Moreover, in her eyes, the doctor who came later had a fluttering white beard and a sage-like appearance. He seemed to be more reliable than the previous doctor.
As for the doctor standing on the side, he just glanced at Liu Jimin with contempt and didn't say anything.
Since he had already been invited, there was no need to invite another doctor. Didn't inviting another doctor mean that they didn't trust him?
He wanted to see how good the medical skills of the old man opposite him were.
Old Madam Li's words couldn't be disobeyed. Ruyi thought about it and sat down on the other side. She stretched out her wrist and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Doctor Liu."
Liu Jimin smiled and placed one hand on her wrist. He slowly closed his eyes.
"Playing tricks!" Seeing the old man's method of taking a pulse, the doctor's expression changed at first, but then he revealed a sneer and his face was full of mockery.
It was unknown if anyone in the world knew how to use such a legendary technique. An old man who came out of nowhere was probably just bluffing people …
Liu Jimin frowned, but he quickly relaxed. He opened his eyes and withdrew his hand. He stood up from the chair and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Madam Li!"
Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and a puzzled expression appeared on her face.
Old Madam Li was stunned for a moment. She seemed to have thought of something and suddenly got up. She quickly walked over and asked in disbelief, "Doctor Liu, you mean …"
"Madam Li is pregnant." Liu Jimin said with a smile.
"You old man, you're talking nonsense!" The doctor finally couldn't stand it anymore. He walked out from the side and said coldly, "I clearly didn't feel the pulse of pregnancy just now. You quack, how dare you talk nonsense!"
The doctor looked at Liu Jimin and said loudly, "Tell me your name. I'll expose you to the government. I won't let you continue to swindle people!"
"Madam Li is pregnant not long ago. A quack really can't feel the pulse of pregnancy." Liu Jimin glanced at him and said, "As for my name …"
"I'm Liu Jimin!"
"Liu Jimin, Liu Jimin, right? I'll remember you. I'll go to the government today …" The doctor said a few words and suddenly seemed to think of something. He murmured, "Liu Jimin, Liu Jimin, Liu …"
He suddenly felt his legs go weak. His face showed a frightened expression. He stood unsteadily and fell on a chair.
"You, you are Lord Liu …"
At this time, Xiao Huan came in from outside with tea and said, "Miss, there's a monk outside looking for you …"
