"Actually, I have one more thing to do today." Ling Cang held a cup of tea in his hand. The teacup was cut from a bamboo joint, polished and smooth, and used to soak in water, with a natural fragrance.
Su Li was arranging the medicinal materials, but when she heard this, she raised her head and looked at him, "What's the matter?"
"I'm here to say goodbye."
"Farewell?" Su Li was taken aback, "Where are you going? When will you be back?"
"Go to the border," Ling Cang said simply, "I was originally doing something for His Majesty, but in secret. This time I am traveling by order, and I am afraid that I will not be able to return to Beijing until three or four months at least, or one or two years at most. You usually If anything happens to Li, go to Ling Zhu."
This is the first time for Su Li to hear him talk about her errand, although she has actually guessed, "Is it dangerous for you to go to the border this time?"
"No place is absolutely safe." Ling Cang has always been straightforward, but his words are euphemistic, but it also proves that this place is not only dangerous, but also very dangerous.
Su Li's heart sank little by little, "Do you need help?"
"Helper? Who are you?"
"Me." Su Li pointed to herself, "I'm a doctor, I can help you."
Ling Cang laughed a little, "No, you stay in the capital."
Su Li ignored it, she was serious about going to the border. First of all, she was really worried about Ling Cang, even though she knew that he was very powerful, but now he was working under an emperor who didn't trust him, every word and deed would attract suspicion and fear. Especially in places like the Border Gate, even if one dies, at most it will be honored after death. So, she wants to help him.
Secondly, it was also because Su Li felt that she would not be able to get ahead in the capital for the time being, not to mention reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, her medical skills still needed to be practiced. Leaving the capital, the world is vast, who would know about Ji Ren Tang and Li Baicao? Who cares whose daughter she is, who knows her past? When she truly becomes a miracle doctor in the future, and then returns to the capital, it will be justifiable, and she will be able to compete with Yan Zizhu.
However, even if she wanted to leave, it would not be so easy.
First of all, the little girl who came for treatment today can't just let go and leave, at least until she doesn't need to change her medicine before Su Li can leave.
So before that.
Su Li handed the small bottle containing the scorpion to Ling Cang, "This is for you."
Ling Cang looked at the bottle in his hand with complicated eyes, "Scorpion?"
"That's right, if you find someone plotting against you, let the scorpion bite him! And this scorpion is easy to raise, just feed it a little bit of poison every day, and it doesn't matter if you are hungry." Su Li said.
The scorpion of the bottle: ? ?
Ling Cang couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't like raising scorpions, but Su Li wanted him to accept them no matter what.
"Aren't you afraid of scorpions?" Su Li looked at him suspiciously.
"How come, it's just that it's really not suitable." I'm not afraid, but I'm a little cautious and panicked.
Unconvinced, Su Li let the scorpion out, and said, "You will be Ling Cang's scorpion from now on, come and say hello to him."
Then Ling Cang saw the little scorpion crawling up in front of him, shaking its red tail friendly.
Ling Cang: .
Ling Cang finally accepted the scorpion, and Su Li expressed his satisfaction.
When he left, the bottle containing the little scorpion was already hanging around his waist, together with his jade pendant.
Su Li watched his back disappear into the vast night with an unclear expression.
