Chapter 399 (Additional Words) Genius Doctor, Fake Daughter, and Deposed Prince 8
"But if you sell them to the pawnshop in a hurry, I'm afraid the price of these things will be cut in half. Miss Yun, have you thought it through?" Yun An reminded.
Cha Jiu waved his hands, not caring at all: "Now is a time when we need money urgently, we can't care about so much. Your Highness' health is the most important."
Yun An was moved again, so he stopped trying to make excuses and went out with the bills to exchange them for money.
Tuberculosis damages the body and depletes the vital energy. In addition to using medicine to eliminate tuberculosis worms, Cha Jiu also set up a reasonable daily diet plan for Pei Yu to replenish the deficiency and restore his true energy.
At the same time, Cha Jiu would sleep on another small couch in Pei Yu's room every night to monitor whether he had a fever at any time.
Therefore, whenever Pei Yu was awakened by a burning throat and thirst in the middle of the night, and murmured hoarsely, he always found that someone would respond to him in time.
Give him water.
And kept changing the wet towel on his forehead.
The heat in his throat and chest was soothed by this careful and thoughtful care. Pei Yu felt as if he had grabbed the only piece of driftwood in the endless stormy ocean, and both his soul and body were at peace.
On the fifth day, Pei Yu's condition finally improved and he regained consciousness.
Doctor Chen checked his pulse and confirmed that he was out of danger. Then he burst into tears and said, "Your Highness is a very lucky person. Now that the tuberculosis is gone, you just need to take good care of yourself."
Yun An couldn't help but be moved: "Thanks to Miss Yun for taking care of me these few days."
Finally, he told the story of how Cha Jiu continued to feed medicine despite being covered in dirt, how he sold his own things in exchange for charcoal, and how he personally took care of Pei Yu.
Pei Yu felt very complicated after hearing this.
He thought that the figure that had been with him during his coma was an illusion or a dream.
I didn't expect it to be true.
"Where's Miss Yun?"
"I'm making medicine in the small kitchen now." Yun An replied.
"Go call her over." Pei Yu said.
Yun An agreed and went over to call for help.
When Cha Jiu walked into the room, she was still wearing the clothes that she had modified for Pei Yu. Her face and hands were dirty, with all the black marks that she accidentally got when blowing the fire.
When Pei Yu saw the clothes she was wearing, he was stunned for a moment, but his expression quickly returned to normal.
Doctor Chen and Yun An both stepped aside tactfully, leaving the two of them alone.
Pei Yu looked at Cha Jiu with mixed emotions in his eyes: "Why are you helping me?"
Cha Jiu tilted his head and looked at him, seeming a little puzzled by his question: "Do I need a reason to help you?"
Pei Yu lowered his eyes and laughed at himself: "Of course it was not necessary in the past. It is the icing on the cake. Who wouldn't do it? But now I have been demoted to a commoner. No, I am not even as good as a commoner. My father's disgust and blame for me are still hanging over my head. It is like a sharp sword on my neck. I don't know when it will fall off."
"Everyone avoided me, fearing that they would be implicated and punished. Doctor Chen risked his life to help me because I had saved his family's lives."
"What about you? Why did you wade into this muddy water?"
Cha Jiu thought for a moment and took off the sachet from his waist. "For this."
Pei Yu looked at the sachet in her hand, which was the one he gave her, and was slightly startled: "What?"
Cha Jiu blinked his eyes, his eyes sincere: "To repay the kindness that His Highness showed me under the carriage that day."
Pei Yu shook his head: "It's just a few taels of silver."
"It's just a few taels of silver."
Cha Jiu pursed his lips and retorted, "Your Highness saw me injured that day and gave me some money, so the matter could have ended there, and bystanders would still praise Your Highness's good name."
"But you saw that it was inconvenient for me to hold the silver in my hands, so you gave me a sachet; and when you saw the gold, silver and jade items in my bag, you were worried that I would be robbed, so you thought of arranging guards to escort me to deposit my things."
"I am just a passer-by with no power or influence, yet Your Highness is able to take all aspects of my life into consideration. How can such a kind-hearted person end up with a serious illness and no one dares to treat him?"
The more Pei Yu listened, the more surprised he became.
Finally, he looked at Cha Jiu and said meaningfully: "You are a grateful person. The Yun family abandoned you because they were blind and didn't recognize the treasure."
Cha Jiu shrugged and said nonchalantly: "If you are heartless, I will give up. There is no need to feel sad for those who don't care about you."
Pei Yu was amused by her, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Is this how the poem is used?"
Cha Jiu scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "I didn't study well with the teacher when I was in Yun Mansion, so I didn't learn much about poetry and articles."
Pei Yu thought for a moment, "So when Doctor Yun said that you are ignorant and incompetent, it wasn't referring to your medical skills, but your poetry and writing."
Cha Jiu confessed honestly: "No, at home I am not allowed to do anything out of the ordinary, and I have to be ignorant of everything."
No, both are allowed.
She emphasized these two words.
Pei Yu was puzzled: "Why is this?"
Cha Jiu replied, "The two elder brothers of the Yun family are extremely jealous. When I was a child, they memorized the "Collection of Medicinal Herbs" and they couldn't memorize it even after three hours. But I only needed half an hour to memorize the whole book and recite it backwards. Therefore, I was praised by the imperial doctor Yun."
Pei Yu leaned against the head of the bed and listened carefully.
Cha Jiu seemed to have some bad memories and paused, but continued: "...because of this incident, they almost drowned me in the pond under the pretext of playing."
The original person was only five years old at the time and luckily escaped.
Later, he learned to be smart and never tried to show off again.
Only by hiding your weaknesses can you save your life.
So Cha Jiu was quite curious. Now that Yun Zhiruo had returned to the Yun family with the title of Ghost Doctor's disciple, would the two narrow-minded brothers treat Yun Zhiruo the same way they treated her?
She lowered her head in thought, but Pei Yu mistook her for being sad.
He stretched out his hand, wanting to wipe off the black dust on her face with his fingertips, and told her that leaving the Yun family was not a bad thing, and that she could stay with him.
But then he thought, he couldn't protect himself now, how could he protect her?
Keeping her would be harming her.
Pei Yu sighed and could only remain silent.
But at this moment, Yun An's surprised voice came from outside the door.
"Your Highness! The eunuch beside His Majesty is here!"
It turned out that the news that Pei Yu was seriously ill and dying finally reached the palace.
The emperor was furious and executed all those who maliciously obstructed the news. He also sent his personal eunuch Wang Zhong to visit Pei Yu in person to make his attitude clear.
Even if the second prince was deposed, it did not mean that others could trample on him at will.
Unfortunately, such care came too late.
If it weren't for the variable of Cha Jiu, Pei Yu would probably have become just a cold corpse left in the world as some people wished.
Eunuch Wang did not dare to say much, and only said to Pei Yu in a veiled way: "His Majesty still misses you."
He was followed by many servants, as well as the things that Pei Yu was used to using when he was a prince, large and small, almost dozens of boxes.
A lot of property was quietly added, including profitable farms, shops, etc.
It can be guaranteed that even if Pei Yu is a commoner in this life, he will be wealthier than most of the children of aristocratic families.
Seeing this turn of events, the spies from all sides who were sneaking outside the door hurried back to report.
I believe that after today, the news that the Emperor has not completely given up on the Second Prince will spread among the aristocratic families again.
Those who take advantage of others' misfortune will probably have trouble sleeping or eating.
Those who intend to harm will also have concerns.
Yun An was very happy.
Pei Yu's expression was blank, except for a moment of softening when he turned to look at the little girl following him.
"The beginning of the cloud."
"Um"
Cha Jiu looked up at him and saw that his cloak was a little loose, so he quickly put his hands in front of his chest and made a gesture to tighten the rope of the cloak.
Pei Yu did as he was told, and then said: "If you have nowhere to go in the future, just stay with me. I will teach you poetry, prose, etiquette and reason. You don't have to hide your shortcomings. You can be confident and bold to be yourself. How about it?"
