Chapter 272 Treatment

Wen Zhirou was very happy to see Chen Shiyi come back to live with her.

"Eleven, it just so happens that Divine Doctor Chu is here these days. You have been taking medicine for a few months, and now you can get acupuncture."

Chen Shiyi smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Sister Rou, you are so nice to me."

Wen Zhirou took her arm.

"We are family, and I should treat you well."

Chen Shiyi smiled knowingly.

"I'll repay you."

"Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go ask the miracle doctor what we should prepare."

Because of Chen Shiyi's illness, Wen Zhirou prepared a pharmacy for Doctor Chu in the courtyard of Pingyuan.

He usually tends to the herbs there when he has nothing to do.

Wen Zhirou and Chen Shiyi came to find him, and his hands were covered in mud.

He seemed a little at a loss with his hands and looked embarrassed.

"Wait a moment, I'm going to wash my hands."

Chen Shiyi looked at Doctor Chu taking her pulse and pondered for a moment.

"Eat more blood-replenishing foods in the next two days, and you can get acupuncture in three days."

Chen Shiyi had never felt such a sensation before. A long thin needle pierced her body, and then her whole body felt as if it was pierced by millions of needles, and she felt pain all over.

Even though she was prepared, when the moment really came, she couldn't help but groan.

Just this one injection caused beads of sweat to appear on Chen Shiyi's forehead, and Wen Zhirou felt very sad seeing this.

She stood by and kept wiping the sweat from Chen Shiyi's forehead.

Doctor Chu couldn't help but praise.

"Mrs. Pei is really patient."

His hands moved quickly, and soon, nine needles were inserted into Chen Shiyi's body.

"Wait for half an incense stick before taking out the needle."

Chen Shiyi didn't know how he managed to get through that half incense stick. He only felt the pain in his body. He was still half conscious and didn't dare to move, so he kept asking.

"Is the time up?"

Wen Zhirou looked at the newly lit incense and hurriedly comforted her.

"Soon, we're almost there."

Chen Shiyi asked again after a while, and again after a while, asking Wen Zhirou until she shed tears.

"It will be fine soon."

Finally, the needle was removed and Chen Shiyi felt that he was alive again.

She looked as if she had just been pulled out of the water; her entire body was wet and the corners of her lips were pale.

Doctor Chu put away the silver needle and said something.

"Two more injections, and then you don't need any more injections. Just take some medicine."

Wen Zhirou was terrified.

"Still want to get it done?"

Doctor Chu nodded.

"If she gave up halfway, all her hard work would be in vain."

At night, when Chen Shiyi was lying in bed, he heard a faint flute sound coming from outside.

The flute sounds light and soothing to the body and mind.

I don’t know who it is, but he plays it so well?

The pain in my body seemed to be lessened after hearing it.

After a while, there was three knocks on the door, and then Pei Luoshu appeared in front of him.

"eleven."

"A Luo, why are you here so late?"

He stuffed her hands into the quilt, tucked the corners of the quilt, and gave her a sour smile.

"We won't treat it anymore. We won't treat it anymore. The matter of having a child is a matter of fate. If there is a child, there is a child. If there is no child, it doesn't matter. Didn't I tell you that?"

Chen Shiyi said with a smile.

"It's okay. It will only take half an incense stick of time. I can bear it. And Doctor Chu has been waiting here to treat me. I am very grateful. I heard him say that if it weren't for me, he would have traveled all over the world long ago."

Pei Luoshu felt very guilty.

"It's all my fault."

"It's okay, don't blame yourself all the time, this has nothing to do with you. Did you hear the flute just now? It was so beautiful, do you know who played it?"

Pei Luoshu smiled and shook his head.

"I don't know, maybe it's Dr. Chu."

Chen Shiyi was very worried about something.

"Ah Luo, is it okay for you to come out like this?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Then you should go back and rest early. It's so late."

"Okay, I'm going to talk to Wen Zhiheng about something, and you should go to bed early too."

Chen Shiyi was very suspicious.

"Is Prime Minister Wen here too?"

"Well, go to sleep."

Pei Luoshu blew out the light for her and closed the door. Chen Shiyi was lost in thought in the dark.

Wen Zhiheng usually goes to bed in Lingyun Pavilion at this time.

I guess they have something important to discuss.

When Pei Luoshu found Wen Zhiheng, he was brewing tea by the pond.

"Aren't you afraid you won't be able to sleep if you drink tea so late?"

Wen Zhiheng raised his head.

"Are you here?"

"Um."

"Tell me, what are you going to do next?"

"I'm all ready now, just waiting to get the fifth prince down."

Wen Zhiheng poured Pei Luoshu a cup of tea.

"What are you preparing for? Are your father's former subordinates willing to obey you now?"

"Only some of them. There are still some old members of the family that I haven't contacted yet."

"Why?"

"They have a huge foundation, but their consumption is also huge. The previous emperor vigorously promoted the imperial examination, so that now a large number of their family members cannot serve as officials in the court. They are very empty inside. If I show up, they might eat my blood and flesh. I didn't want to be controlled by them before, let alone now."

Wen Zhiheng nodded.

"It is right not to coerce them. They are a bunch of useless pests. Sooner or later, they will clean up this disaster. It will be a blessing for the people of Daye."

Pei Luoshu took a sip of tea.

"Thank you, Prime Minister Wen, for your help."

Wen Zhiheng replied calmly.

"I don't want to help you yet, don't thank me so early."

Pei Luoshu smiled.

"I already have a lot of people in the palace. I wonder how things are going in the palace, Prime Minister Wen. Can my people get started?"

Wen Zhiheng said expressionlessly.

"You go ahead and do it. My people can't get involved, but you can. Mrs. Pei's suggestion is good, but it also has flaws. This matter is extremely risky, and it will take a long time. If you accidentally reveal any clues, you will lose everything. You have to think carefully."

Pei Luoshu thought for a while and then said.

"I got a piece of news. I heard that the Fifth Prince has already known about the strange phenomena in various provinces. He is preparing to conduct a large-scale hunt to release the auspicious white deer. He wants to surround and capture it alive. This is a good opportunity."

"What are you going to do?"

"Took advantage of the opportunity to take his life."

Wen Zhiheng felt bad.

"Be careful, this matter may not be that simple."

"I know. Isn't this a double-handed preparation?"

Wen Zhiheng thought for a while and asked.

"How many troops do you have now?"

"About three hundred experts."

Wen Zhiheng strongly disapproved of Pei Luoshu's actions.

"Too few. Every time we go hunting, there are tens of thousands of imperial guards. Although you have many experts, the number gap is too big. We need to make long-term plans."

"Of course, we can't confront each other head-on."

"Don't you have a man named Xiao Changzheng, who is the Fifth Prince's confidant?"

"The Fifth Prince has been very cautious recently, so he has already been replaced."

"Are you being too aggressive and adventurous? You know he's been a nervous bird lately, but you're still approaching him."

"I'll take any chance I can get. I really want to get rid of him as soon as possible. After all, I don't want Eleven to live a life of hiding like this anymore."

Wen Zhiheng heard this and sighed.

"Then you're on your own."
