Chapter 228 My embroidery-loving senior brother, will my child be alright?

As soon as the door closed, Shen Chu smiled and reached out to take Han Taiyi's arm, acting coquettishly.

"Senior Brother, it's been a long time."

That's right, this newly arrived Imperial Physician Han was her senior brother.

Han Feng, a renowned physician in the martial arts world.

Han Feng raised his hand to shake off hers and turned his head away.

"You still remember that you have a senior brother? You've been back in the capital for so many days, but you haven't come to see me. I thought you were so busy with women that you had long forgotten about your senior brother."

Tsk, that tone is so sour.

Shen Chu bent down and approached Han Feng, her bright eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Oh dear, what do you mean by having women on both sides? Senior Brother, don't talk nonsense. No one can surpass Senior Brother in my heart."

Han Feng glanced at her.

"Let's get down to business. Stop with the smooth talk. Do you know how dangerous your situation is today?"

"If the imperial physician who comes isn't me, you're finished."

Shen Chu poured a cup of tea for Han Feng with a smile.

"I know, so when I heard Shen Qingshuang say that Marquis Changning sent people to investigate me, I guessed that something bad was going to happen, so I quickly sent Hongxiu to find my senior brother."

With my senior brother, this divine healer, here, my identity will naturally remain hidden.

Han Feng snorted coldly, "You wrote to me a month ago, telling me to find a way to gain the Feng family's trust after I went to Beijing."

"It's only been a month, and you're so sure I can gain the Feng family's trust and infiltrate the Imperial Hospital?"

Shen Chu quickly offered a very high compliment.

"With Senior Brother's abilities, gaining the favor of the Feng family and getting into the Imperial Hospital would be a piece of cake."

I heard it all from Hongxiu: as soon as the eldest brother entered the palace, he cured Empress Feng's chronic leg pain and His Majesty's migraine.

Let alone a deputy director of the Imperial Medical Academy, even the head of the Imperial Medical Academy would be easily within my grasp.

Han Feng tapped her on the head with a helpless expression.

"Stop flattering me and stop with the nonsense. You've got some skills now, haven't you? Not only have you become a fifth-rank censor, but you're also pregnant."

Han Feng crossed his arms, gave her a cold look, and pointed to the window with his chin.

"Tell me, who is the father of the child? Is it that cold, domineering, and cunning sixth prince?"

Is it still that handsome, refined young man?

Shen Chu explained, "Young Master Jun has a name. His name is Luo Heng, and he is my sworn brother."

Han Feng tapped the table impatiently.

"Don't give me that nonsense. I only care about one thing right now: which bastard bullied my junior sister whom I raised since she was a child?"

"You're pregnant?! Whoever it is, I promise I'll beat them to a pulp!"

Chen Chu...

Should we implicate Pei Yuan?

The eldest brother was ten years older than her, the eldest sister was eight years older than her, and the third brother was four years older than her.

Ever since her master brought her to Medicine King Valley, she has lived under the loving care of her senior brothers and sisters.

Especially her eldest brother, who taught and loved her like both a father and an elder brother.

If his senior brother found out it was Pei Yuan, his eldest senior brother would probably kill Pei Yuan.

To save Pei Yuan's life, Shen Chu decided to keep it a secret.

"Senior Brother, don't be angry, let me explain."

Han Feng looked heartbroken.

"Now that Master is gone, I am the head of Medicine King Valley. The cabbages we painstakingly raised have been eaten by wild boars from who-knows-where. How can I not be angry?"

I'm very angry, extremely angry. You'd better tell me who he is, or else... hehe.

If I wait until I find out myself, I'll use the most poisonous drug in the world on him.

Shen Chu felt a chill run down her spine; she couldn't take it anymore.

"It's the Sixth Prince."

"Ha, I knew it was him." Han Feng jumped up and walked outside.

Chen Chu was startled and quickly jumped up to grab him.

"Don't be angry, senior brother. We were both drugged at the time, but he didn't know it was me."

If you go out to find him, won't my identity be exposed?

Han Feng walked around the room, then suddenly sat down and took out a plain white purse, a few brightly colored silk threads, and an embroidery needle from the bottom of the medicine box.

She deftly threaded the needle and sat down to embroider a purse.

Shen Chu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that you're willing to embroider.

The eldest brother's greatest hobby is embroidery.

The world probably doesn't know that the most famous Jade-Faced Medical Saint in the martial arts world has a great hobby: embroidery.

Embroider when you're happy, and embroider even more when you're in a bad mood.

In his hands, the embroidery needle was even more nimble than a silver needle.

Soon, Han Feng finished embroidering an orchid on the purse, and he calmed down.

Shen Chu clasped her hands together and stared at him expectantly.

"Senior Brother, I really can't reveal my identity right now, so please don't cause trouble for Pei Yuan, okay?"

Han Feng put away his purse and gave a dismissive "hmm".

"knew."

Ha, he can't cause trouble openly, but can't he cause Pei Yuan some trouble behind his back?

Shen Chu smiled happily.

Pei Yuan, who was waiting outside, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Achoo!

Luo Heng chuckled, "It's so hot today, could the Sixth Prince have suffered from heatstroke?"

"We should go back quickly; I'll stay here with Achu."

Pei Yuan glanced at him sideways and swiftly opened the jade bone fan.

A gentle wave of the fan brings a refreshing breeze.

"This jade fan of mine is made of ice jade from the top of the snow mountain. It can keep the body cool and sweat-free when carried with you."

But you, Young Master Luo, tsk, your front and back are soaked through, you look rather disheveled.

Meeting people like this really damages your reputation for being handsome and dashing.

If I were Young Master Luo, I would turn around and leave immediately. I would never allow myself to appear in such a disheveled state in front of others; it would be an offense to public morals.

Luo Heng looked down and realized that he was sweating too much. His shirt was soaked through and his back was sticky and uncomfortable.

Compared to Pei Yuan's noble, aloof, elegant, and dignified appearance, Luo Heng suddenly felt ashamed.

He gritted his teeth, turned around, and left.

Pei Yuan scoffed coldly and called out, "Sun Yan."

Sun Yan slipped in from outside the door.

"How's the investigation going? Who poisoned Shen Chu?"

"There's still no lead. The biggest suspect is Marquis Changning. My subordinates found out that Marquis Changning had a conflict with Lord Shen just two days ago."

It's gotten to the point where we have to resort to family discipline.

Pei Yuan narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly, "Marquis of Changning? Heh, very good!"

Just then, Marquis Changning came to find Shen Chu in a huff.

Before even entering the courtyard, one could hear his roar.

"You unfilial son, come out here! What did you say to His Highness the Crown Prince...?!"

Before he could finish speaking, Marquis Changning's roar turned into a scream of agony.

Chen Chu, who was inside the room, was startled and instinctively got up to peek out.

But Han Feng pulled him back.

"What are you looking at? Lie down quickly, I'll give you acupuncture to remove the poison."

Shen Chu looked shocked.

"What poison? Isn't that just an excuse you made up to fool the Crown Prince?"

"Speaking of which, Senior Brother, you're quick-witted! Poisoning is a good excuse. We can meet every few days under the guise of acupuncture treatments."

Han Feng's expression was strange.

"Who said this is an excuse I made up? You're really poisoned."

Shen Chu's smile froze instantly.

"Really poisoned? Like the kind of slow-acting poison you mentioned?"

Han Feng nodded, "Don't be afraid. You've only been poisoned for a short time, and it's not as exaggerated as I made it out to the Crown Prince."

"With me here, I won't let anything happen to you."

Chen Chu breathed a sigh of relief, then asked anxiously, "Will this poison affect the child? Will my child be alright?"

Han Feng hesitated for a moment when he looked at her.
