Chapter 27 Chengxin Hall
After returning to Ruifeng Courtyard, Xiao Linyuan called Liao Yan before he even lay down.
Liao Yan rushed back from outside. Today he went to several shops under the name of the palace to check out and prepare to choose one to open a clinic.
Wang Ge suddenly sent him a letter asking him to go back quickly.
I thought the prince had some health problem and was out of breath after riding back on horseback.
But when we arrived at Ruifeng Courtyard, we found the prince sitting there drinking tea.
"Your Majesty, did you call me back?"
Xiao Linyuan raised his chin and said, "She's injured. Don't you have some excellent medicine for wounds? Bring some over."
"Ah! Where is Miss Mianmian injured?" Liao Yan hurried over to check.
Song Zijin stretched out his left hand embarrassedly.
Liao Yan was stunned. Isn't it just a broken finger...
His medicine for wounds is made of the finest medicinal materials, which are priceless and usually only generals can use it.
Xiao Linyuan saw his reluctance and said, "Just think of it as me wanting to use it."
Song Zijin understood that this medicine was Liao Yan's exclusive secret recipe and he didn't want to give it to her.
She doesn't want to embarrass others.
Just as she was about to refuse, she saw Liao Yan take out a small bottle from the box, the same one that Xiao Linyuan gave her last time.
There was only a little left in the bottle at the time, and it was gone after she applied it, so she didn't have a chance to study its ingredients.
Xiao Linyuan really gave such a valuable thing as he said.
A warm feeling flowed through Song Zijin's heart.
This friend, she did not make any mistakes!
"It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that there's not much left, and I'm afraid His Majesty will need it urgently."
Song Zijin refused, but Xiao Linyuan gave him a look and Liao Yan immediately stuffed the bottle into Song Zijin's hand, as if it was hot.
"Your Highness, my wounds have always healed quickly, so I don't need such good things..."
Xiao Linyuan said indifferently, "Why, am I someone who can't even afford to give me medicine for wounds?"
"no."
"Then wipe it quickly. Do you really need me to help you personally?"
Song Zijin curled her lips and said, "Just speak nicely. Why be so domineering?"
She dared to be angry in her heart but not to disobey him out loud, and quickly applied the medicine in front of him.
The pink fingertips were dyed an ugly dark red, which was very eye-catching.
Xiao Linyuan's eyes darkened and his lips were tightly pursed.
"So, why did the accident happen today?" he suddenly asked.
Song Zijin expressed his suspicions and handed Liao Yan the pills he had fed him before leaving.
"Doctor Liao, please take a look and see if there is any problem with this medicine."
Liao Yan took the pill excitedly. He wanted to see how profound this girl's medical skills were.
Before he could study it carefully, he heard Xiao Linyuan say, "It shouldn't be the problem with this medicine."
Song Zijin nodded. She had just thought that if there was something wrong with the medicine, there would be a reaction when taking it for the first time.
"So the prince also suspects that the mother Gu appeared in the imperial study?"
Xiao Linyuan remained silent.
The master of the Gu might be a palace maid, and that palace maid was specially arranged to stay near the imperial study.
Wang Ge stepped forward, sword in hand, "Now that the Gu Master is dead, does that mean the Mother Gu is meaningless, and His Majesty will be alright too?"
Song Zijin nodded.
Through observation over the past few days, she was sure that the Gu worm was not as active as recorded in the book, which meant that the power of the Gu from a hundred years ago was slowly fading, and the connection between the mother Gu and the child Gu must not be that close.
When the host of the mother Gu dies, the child Gu will become agitated, but it will never cause too much impact.
"Then I'll take my men to the palace to find out which palace servants appeared near the imperial study today, and kill them all!"
Xiao Linyuan looked up and glared at him, then glanced at Song Zijin.
"You've fought in battles for years, how can you still be so reckless? Since you know the mother Gu is in the palace, you can just take your time. Why lose guards and secret guards for something so uncertain?"
Wang Ge scratched his head and took a step back. The prince was just looking for an excuse not to kill innocent people.
Isn't it better to kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go on the battlefield? Why is it not useful in the capital?
Song Zijin bit her lips lightly and looked at Xiao Linyuan with gentle and grateful eyes.
As a prince, Xiao Linyuan is not only kind to innocent people, but also to her.
For example, he could have forced her to quickly remove the poison from his body, but he never put pressure on her.
She made a silent decision in her heart that she must remove the poison from Xiao Linyuan as soon as possible.
…
After a whole morning of hard work, it was only 3:00 PM when Song Zijin dressed up as a little servant and went outside with Liao Yan to check on the shop.
The shops in the palace are naturally all in excellent geographical locations. Not only are they well-planned, but they are all located in busy and bustling streets.
If you open a clinic in these places, it will definitely attract more attention.
But Song Zijin chose an inconspicuous location.
This is a small medicine shop called Chengxintang. The shop is not big, but the back hall is quite large. I don't know if the owner bought this shop in such a place to live or to sell medicine.
Liao Yan didn't understand.
Fortunately, next to Chengxin Hall is the most ordinary bookstore in the palace. If you insist on choosing this place, you can buy the shop in the middle, so that the three shops can be combined into one, which will be more spacious.
But the owner of Chengxintang refused to sell it.
He looked very old, with gray hair, and more like a night watchman than someone who understood pharmacology.
Liao Yan was somewhat helpless. "Old man, your shop hasn't had anyone come in for a long time. I'm afraid you can't make much money every day. Why don't you sell it and go home to enjoy your retirement? We won't treat you unfairly."
Song Zijin held Liao Yan and said, "Doctor Liao, go take care of the shop in the middle. I'll take care of this."
"That's fine. If that doesn't work, we can just buy the middle one. It's enough."
"Yeah, I know."
After Liao Yan left, Song Zijin smiled and asked the shopkeeper, "Can we go to the back hall to discuss in detail?"
The shopkeeper was slightly stunned, then turned around and took Song Zijin to the back hall.
After the door was closed, Song Zijin untied his beard, which had been stuck to his neck. "Uncle Qian, I'm Zijin!"
"Miss, it's really Miss!" Qian Bo's eyes filled with tears. "How are the Madam and the Master?"
Qian Bo was the old man whom Luo Qingtang rescued when he was out for fun. His children were killed by bandits and all his money was stolen. Luo Qingtang then brought him to Chengxin Hall to work as a waiter there.
In order to repay the life-saving grace, Qian Bo devoted himself to Chengxin Hall. During the period of the fight for the throne, the capital was in chaos. In order to protect Luo Qingtang, Qian Bo was almost beaten to death by Prince An's soldiers.
Later, when the Song family encountered trouble, Luo Qingtang gave the deed of the shop to Qian Bo, giving him a place to settle down and live out his retirement.
"I'm also checking where my mother and the others are going. I'm sure there will be results soon."
Qian Bo was very excited and kept wiping his tears with his sleeves. "That's good. Madam is such a good person. I'm sure you will live a peaceful and happy life in the second half of your life!"
After saying this, Qian Bo went to burn a stick of incense in front of the Buddha statue.
"Miss, do you want to use Chengxintang to do business?"
