The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 550: Jingbei Hou's unusual movement

"Aunt, go back to your room and have a good rest. You won't cough tonight and can sleep well. When you get up tomorrow, continue to drink the medicine and you will recover soon."

Lin Xi took back the silver needle in his hand and said to Fatty Yaniang and the others with a smile.

"Thank you Miss Lin, you are really our benefactor. You saved our lives again!"

"Ms. Lin, we don't know how to thank you!"

"Miss Lin, I have already cleaned out the east wing. Please stay there for one night. We will go to town tomorrow to buy some new sheets and quilts for you."

......

The women still stayed away from Lin Xi. Hope appeared in their previously dull eyes as they all looked at Lin Xi with gratitude and joy.

After Lin Xi's treatment and drinking some herbal medicine, they felt much better. They had been coughing, chest tightness and wheezing badly before, especially at night. They were so stuffy that they couldn't lie down at all. Their bodies were weak. They would sweat after walking a few steps and felt weak all over. Now the coughing has stopped and the chest tightness is almost gone. However, their bodies are still very weak and their eyelids are fighting. They want to go to bed immediately and have a good sleep.

"We have set up a tent outside so it won't take up any room. Let these grandmas live in the wing room. The aunts will have more space and can rest better. I see everyone is very sleepy, so go to bed quickly."

Lin Xi rejected the women's kindness and urged them to go back to their rooms to rest. Then she turned and left the ancestral hall.

"Uncle Bai, thank you for your hard work! It's so late, go and have a rest first, and we'll be busy tomorrow!"

When she came out of the yard, she saw the Bai family still discussing the prescription in the open space outside the tent. She walked over to them and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Master, please take a look at the prescription we prepared. If it works, we will prescribe medicine for them tomorrow!"

When the Bai family saw Lin Xi coming, they all stood up and saluted her. Bai Ji handed their improved prescription to Lin Xi and looked at her expectantly, waiting to hear her opinion.

Seeing that the Bai family members did not show any signs of fatigue and were staring at her eagerly, Lin Xi secretly sighed that the Bai family really liked to study medicine!

"This prescription is very good. It is more suitable for these women than the one I gave you. However, if you add Atractylodes macrocephala to it, the effect will be even better!"

Lin Xi looked at the prescription carefully and thought for a while, then handed it back to Bai Ji with a smile and suggested.

Bai Ji and the others discussed for a while, and they all felt that the medicine Lin Xi added was wonderful. Bai Ji happily took out a pen and wrote down Atractylodes lancea on it, then gave the prescription to Bai Zhi and asked him to make a few copies.

"Bai Zhi, it's too late. You guys go to bed first. You can copy the recipe tomorrow. There's no need to rush in the middle of the night. It won't run away. We need to conserve our energy. We don't know how busy we will be later!"

Lin Xi patted Bai Zhi's shoulder to stop her.

"Okay, then we'll go to rest. Master, you should go to bed early too!"

Bai Ji knew that what Lin Xi said was right. He nodded to his son, and after leaving Bai Zhi's wife to serve Lin Xi, the others returned to their respective tents and lay down to rest.

Seeing that Bai Zhi's wife was going to boil hot water for her, Lin Xi quickly stopped her and urged her to go to bed. After the Bai family's breathing became even, Lin Xi had an idea and entered the boundary bead, hugging Xiao Bai's golden eggs and falling asleep.

At this time, Lin Kang and his companions had just arrived at the gate of the capital. It was already the beginning of the first hour of the lunar calendar, and the gate of the capital had long been closed. The soldiers guarding the city saw Lin Kang and his companions coming to the gate and shouted to the people below: "The gate is closed. Leave quickly and enter the city early tomorrow morning!"

"We have the token of the Regent, and we can enter and leave the capital at any time. We have an urgent matter and need to go into the city immediately to report to the Regent. Please open the gate and let us in!"

Lin Kang held up high the token of Jun Moye that Lin Xi had given him and shouted to the officers and soldiers on the city wall.

"Humph! I've never heard of the Regent giving this kind of token to anyone. Just wait patiently, and we'll let you into the city at daybreak!"

When the soldier guarding the city heard Lin Kang's words, he rolled his eyes and shouted loudly below.

Lin Kang thought that if he took out the token, the soldiers guarding the city would let them in. However, the soldiers did not even think of looking at the token and directly refused to let them in.

Just as he was about to argue with him, another soldier on the tower slapped the soldier on the back of his head and scolded him, "Since the man here said he has the regent's token, why don't you go down and check it out? If the token is real and it delays the regent's business, you will have enough heads to chop off. Tomorrow is the day when the regent ascends the throne, and there can be no mistakes!"

After the lecture, he personally went down the tower and asked Lin Kang to pass the token through the crack of the door. He took it in his hand and checked it repeatedly. After confirming that it was Jun Moxie's token, he immediately ordered the officers and soldiers guarding both sides of the city gate: "This token is real, open the city gate quickly and let them pass!"

Several officers and soldiers bowed and accepted the order, then hurried forward and worked together to open the city gate.

"Sir, this is your token, please keep it."

The soldiers guarding the city walked up to Lin Kang with the token in both hands, nodded and bowed, and returned the token.

"Thanks for letting me pass!"

Lin Kang put away the token, clasped his fists towards the soldiers guarding the city, and then waved to the team members behind him. They all used their lightness skills to quickly rush into the capital city and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"These people look like kids, but they are so skilled. Captain, what do you think their identities are? I've never heard of such a group of people under the Regent!"

The officers and soldiers who had received training previously looked at the direction where Lin Kang and his group disappeared, and approached the captain and asked.

"Can we also ask about the Regent's affairs? Go back and guard the city gates! Cheer up!"

The captain kicked the soldier on the butt and said unhappily.

"Ouch! Captain, my stomach hurts. I can't hold it anymore. I'm going to the toilet and I'll be back soon!"

The soldier who had previously refused Lin Kang's entry into the city was kicked, but he covered his stomach with his hands, looking as if he had a stomach cramp.

"Hurry up and come back soon. Didn't I tell you not to eat anything careless?"

"Ah! Thank you, Captain!"

The soldier covered his stomach and ran quickly to the toilet in the rest area at the rear. When no one was paying attention to this side, he ran quickly in one direction.

"who!"

The city guard who lied about having a stomachache came to a mansion and knocked on the door quietly.

A man's alert voice came from inside the door.

"It's me, Wang San, the city guard, and I have something important to report to the Marquis!"

The soldiers guarding the city looked around vigilantly and whispered to the people inside the door.

"Come in quickly, I'll take you to see the Marquis!"

The door creaked open, and a hand stretched out from inside to pull the soldier guarding the city in, then quickly dragged him to the study of Marquis Jingbei.

It is now the hour of the Ox. Normally, people would have been lying in bed and fast asleep. However, many people have gathered in the Jingbei Marquis Mansion at this moment. They are moving silently around the mansion, and no one knows what they are busy with.

"Your Excellency, the city guard Wang San is here, and he has something important to report!"

The guard outside the door respectfully reported to Marquis Jingbei inside through the study door.

At this time, Jingbei Hou had just come out of the underground palace. Upon hearing this, he immediately shouted outside the door, "Let him in!"

Wang San walked in with his body bent, and quickly reported to Marquis Jingbei that Lin Kang and his group had entered the capital in the middle of the night.

"A group of children? Could it be the group of children led by Lin Xi?"

After letting Wang San leave, Jing Beihou paced back and forth in the study, muttering to himself.

After thinking for a while, he called the guard outside the door in and whispered some instructions. Then he saw the guard leave Jingbei Hou Mansion and head towards Lin Xi's courtyard.
