22: Chapter 22 I want to see Sun Simiao

"Well, there is one, and I have even asked him to examine Empress Zhangsuns nickname, but it is truly not as good as the medicine you gave me. Isn't it true that your medical technology can prolong life as long as one has money?"

Emperor Taizong of Tang looked puzzled; did Yang Fan actually need a doctor from their side?

Although the Famous physician was very famous among the common people, he still could not save Empress Zhangsun, so in the heart of Emperor Taizong of Tang, the doctors on Yang Fan's side were more reliable.

"A truly great healer does not just treat, but prevents!"

"So, the doctors on our side can only offer solutions when you have a problem. Do you understand?"

"Help me contact the Famous physician; I need him to take a look at me."

Yang Fan planned to see the Famous physician first, and if that didn't work, he would ask Ye Qingcheng if there were any good traditional Chinese medicine masters in the capital.

He could also take the opportunity to visit the Tang Dynasty and meet Princess Xiangcheng.

Emperor Taizong of Tang pondered Yang Fan's words: prevention, not treatment.

This could be applied not only to medicine but also to governing the country!

"He is in Chang'an recently; he just examined Empress Zhangsuns nickname a few days ago."

"I will send someone to tell him in a moment. Can you come here tomorrow? Is it possible for you to come?"

Emperor Taizong of Tang certainly could not let too many people know about this space, so Yang Fan would have to be the one to come over.

Although Yang Fan's attire was incompatible with that of the people of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was quite inclusive and did not mandate what clothes one must wear.

"Then it's settled. It is possible to go over, so I will go tomorrow."

It was hard to say if people from there could come here, but he could definitely go over there.

Yang Fan's internal monologue was: I am the ultimate cheater, and I'm proud of it!

Yang Fan felt that Emperor Taizong of Tang must have wanted to travel to his side and might have even tried, but failed to cross over.

"Then wait for me a moment; I will get some things for you."

After saying this, Emperor Taizong of Tang disappeared, his movements becoming increasingly practiced.

Before long, things were continuously entering the space.

Yang Fan opened them to take a look; they were all calligraphy works in boxes, and they were all very well preserved.

Most of them were the calligraphy of Emperor Taizong of Tang and Wang Xizhi, along with some works by other officials. In any case, Emperor Taizong of Tang had just dumped them all in like trash.

Yang Fan roughly counted them; there were two hundred and thirty pieces of calligraphy. This was actually already quite a lot; any more would likely drive the price down too much.

At this moment, Emperor Taizong of Tang walked back in.

"How is it? Is the quantity enough?"

"It's enough. This stuff isn't worth much, so you just throw it around, right!"

Yang Fan teased, as there were dozens more than he had expected.

"One cannot say it like that. These are all my beloved items. Even my own calligraphy, every piece was written with care."

Emperor Taizong of Tang coughed, his true thoughts having been exposed, and he felt a bit embarrassed.

After all, it really wasn't worth much. Besides Wang Xizhi, everyone else who wrote these was still alive, so what could they be worth? Perhaps they might be worth a little something where Yang Fan was.

"Alright, I'm leaving."

"Wait."

"The water you drank just now was quite good; I would like to buy some."

Emperor Taizong of Tang had just drunk the water Yang Fan brought over; it tasted very good, and he was thinking of stocking up some for the palace.

Emperor Taizong of Tang knew what good things were; as soon as it touched his lips, he knew this water was extraordinary.

"No need to buy it; I'll give you some."

Yang Fan waved his hand and left the space.

Actually, this Evian water was quite expensive, costing over ten yuan a bottle; he had gotten to know it back when he was delivering food.

However, Yang Fan had already taken advantage of Emperor Taizong of Tang a lot, so gifting some water didn't matter.

Besides, Emperor Taizong of Tang would be his Father-in-law in the future, so giving some things was only appropriate.

How could one go to their Father-in-law's house without bringing something? Wouldn't you get kicked out if you didn't?

Back at the imperial palace, Emperor Taizong of Tang saw Empress Zhangsun waiting for him with a bowl of iced porridge.

"How did it go? I saw you going in and out; you're covered in sweat from exhaustion."

Empress Zhangsun helped Emperor Taizong of Tang wipe off his sweat.

"That kid kept eyeing my preface to the poems composed at the orchid pavilion. I didn't give it to him, but I gave him a few more pieces of other calligraphy."

Empress Zhangsun smiled slightly. She had a good impression of Yang Fan; ever since she took the medicine Yang Fan gave her, her health had been recovering at a visible rate.

She no longer felt that sensation of being unable to catch her breath.

"This child is quite good. The medicine he trades, as well as all that rice, are all excellent."

"There's no need for you to insist on holding onto that piece of calligraphy!"

Emperor Taizong of Tang took Empress Zhangsun's hand and sat down.

"You don't understand. This kid has always been asking for the things I cherish most. If he doesn't bring out some of his own cherished items, how could I give him the preface to the poems composed at the orchid pavilion?"

"He has mentioned this preface to the poems composed at the orchid pavilion several times already. It seems this piece of calligraphy must be very famous in later generations and surely of extraordinary value."

"So, unless I make him bleed heavily, I will not trade it to him."

As an emperor, Emperor Taizong of Tang naturally knew how to obtain the greatest benefit.

Although he liked this calligraphy very much, if the benefits Yang Fan offered were too great to refuse, he would be willing to part with it.

After all, he knew which was more important: the Tang Dynasty empire or a piece of calligraphy.

"I saw you took a lot of things; what did you trade for this time?"

"You'll know when the time comes!"

"Also, I have decided to marry Princess Xiangcheng to Yang Fan."

Emperor Taizong of Tang hadn't told Empress Zhangsun, because the Zhangsun family was also on his list of Aristocratic Families.

He didn't want Zhangsun Wuji to know in advance.

If she knew, she would feel uncomfortable being caught in the middle.

"Hmm?"

"Can Princess Xiangcheng go to his side?"

"Yang Fan says she can. I don't know either; I've tried to go to his side, but I couldn't."

"But we'll know tomorrow; he said he's coming over to see the Famous physician."

"You go talk to Princess Xiangcheng. You might see Yang Fan tomorrow, so let her be mentally prepared."

Emperor Taizong of Tang roughly knew that if Yang Fan wanted to come to his world, he would probably need him to pull him through, just like how he took Empress Zhangsuns nickname to that space.

"Alright. I don't know if Princess Xiangcheng will be wronged over there. After all, once she's gone, we won't be able to take care of her, and Princess Xiangcheng is such a soft-natured child..."

Empress Zhangsun sighed.

"Alright, born into the imperial family, these are things she must bear."

"You should prepare her dowry as well."

Emperor Taizong of Tang had made up his mind to marry his daughter to Yang Fan.

"Alright, I understand."

Empress Zhangsun also understood Emperor Taizong of Tang's intention; after all, Yang Fan was too important.

"Wang De."

"Your Majesty, this servant is here."

"Go and list everything the Aristocratic Families operate, and then call Li Xiaogong to see me."

"As you command, Your Majesty."

...

Over on Yang Fan's side, after returning to his room, Jiang Lan had also returned with her luggage, pulling a small suitcase.

Yang Fan coming out gave her a start; she had thought Yang Fan had gone out. She was changing clothes directly in the living room, as she expected tonight would be the first time in her life.

She hadn't expected to let Yang Fan see everything.

Tsk tsk...

"It's fine, go ahead and change."

Yang Fan hadn't expected such a sultry scene and immediately went back into his room.
