Chapter 21 Filial Piety (Part 1/3)
Although
the mass grave was blazed to cinders, Ling Qiyang still rushed to produce a
batch of medicines that could kill the parasites. This was to further prevent
any soldier from contracting the parasite through other means. Alas, when it
came to parasites, Ling Qiyang knew the theory, but never had any experience in
making the medicine.
His
intense focus was broken by several knocks on the door of the pharmacy. Jun
Lixuan walked in, " Did you prepare the prescription?"
Ling
Qiyang shook his head and said, "I'm going back to Count Wangyang
Mansion."
"What?"
Jun Lixuan looked at Ling Qiyang in shock. Even if he could not prepare the
prescription, there was no need run away from home and return to his maternal
family.
"Master
left some notes with Father. There are many records about parasites on them.
Parasites are rare in Ye Empire, and the southern side has always been stable.
Hence, I never expected to meet parasites and did not read these notes
thoroughly." When he got married, he thought about bringing it along for
safekeeping. However, the notes had he had packed already filled with a box to
its brim. At that time, Ling Qiyang intended to keep his medical skills a
secret. Hence, it was not too convenient to bring any more notes and he left
the remaining with his Father.
"Your
Master is truly brilliant." Jun Lixuan nodded.
"Well,
in the end, it's my incompetence as his apprentice that is at fault." In
addition to knowing the pathology, a doctor also needed to practice. Some
things had to be executed in practice instead of plain theoretical talk.
"You
are still young! It's pretty good to have this kind of achievements at this
age." Jun Lixuan did not have any further request of Ling Qiyang. As long
as he stays by his side, his medical skills were just a trivial matter.
"A
human must be motivated." Ling Qiyang threw a glance at him.
Jun
Lixuan chuckled, "Okay. It's still early now but I don't think you should
go to Count Wangyang Mansion personally. If you go over, they have to be
prepared to receive you. After all, your identity is different. Why don't you
let Ming Li invite your Father to come over? He can bring the books
along."
Ling
Qiyang was quite surprised by Jun Lixuan's proposal. While it was not
prohibited to invite the Father-in-law to come over as a guest, this practice
was rare even amongst the more liberal households. He asked again, reconfirming
what he had just heard, "Are you sure? This doesn't sound too
appropriate."
Jun
Lixuan smiled and said, "There is nothing wrong with that. In His Royal
Highness Ling Manor except me, only you have the final say. You agree and I
agree. Then, we’re set!"
Ling
Qiyang nodded. In fact, he also wanted to let his Father come over for a visit.
If he took a look at his current life, maybe Father would be more at ease.
"Then
I tell someone to do it. Don't think about it, take a break with a cup of
ginseng tea."
"Alright."
Having
received the Prince's instructions, Ming Li got it done personally at light
speed. Within an hour, he brought Ling Qiyang's handwritten letter and His
Royal Highness Ling Manor's entry permit to invite Ling Qiyang's Father. When
they returned, the two attendants who followed were carrying a large wooden
box.
"Your
Highness." Ling Qiyang's Father knelt down and greeted Jun Lixuan as per
rules.
"Father,
you do not need to follow the rules." Jun Lixuan gave reached out his hand
to help Concubine Yue up.
Hearing
the movements, Ling Qiyang rushed over from the pharmacy. Seeing his Father, he
walked over quickly, "Father."
Ling
Qiyang's Father sized up his son and found that he was fine. Instantly, he felt
relieved.
"Let's
talk inside." Jun Lixuan gestured his hand and invited them in.
Ling
Qiyang held Ling Qiyang's Father, "It is warm inside."
Ling
Qiyang's Father pushed Ling Qiyang's hand away, and reprimanded, "What are
you doing?" He understood that Ling Qiyang missed him, and he was glad
that his son was much more cheerful than he was in Count Wangyang Mansion. He
was even a little unscrupulous. Just who's fault was it? Ling Qiyang's Father
was crystal clear. He threw a glance at Jun Lixuan and sighed.
