Chapter 400 Genius Doctor, Fake Daughter, and Deposed Prince 9
If the emperor had not sent Wang Zhong here.
Pei Yu would never ask to keep anyone.
But now, since the emperor has expressed his reluctance to let him go, it means that his situation is temporarily safe. Maybe he can take advantage of this reluctance and slowly make a comeback in the future.
That's why Cha Jiu stayed with him. Although she couldn't live a glorious life for the time being, at least he could protect her from being bullied by the Yun family and others, and let her grow up in a wealthy life. In the future, whether she wanted to practice medicine or marry a good man, he could also help her.
Pei Yu did this, firstly to repay her for saving his life.
The second was that seeing Cha Jiu being abandoned by the Yun family, he felt deeply moved and felt pity for her as if she were himself.
You are two helpless and abandoned people, so you might as well snuggle together and keep each other warm to get through this long and lonely winter.
Cha Jiu didn't know Pei Yu had thought so much in the blink of an eye.
Her mind is very simple.
Target person.
Get on him.
So, she said readily, "Okay."
Pei Yu was pleased by her direct and decisive attitude. His eyes softened and he couldn't help but reach out and touch her little head.
…
Cha Jiu stayed in the yard.
And he lives in the room next to Pei Yu.
Therefore, every time she heard Pei Yu coughing, she would come over to take a look, check his pulse, and see if there were any signs of a relapse.
Moreover, Pei Yu was weak and had poor appetite.
She went out to find the chef of the best restaurant in the capital, spent a lot of money and effort, and learned a few home-cooked dishes through hard work.
Although the chef had some reservations, Cha Jiu only learned 70%.
But the taste was good enough, and even though Pei Yu had no appetite, he couldn't help but eat more.
Yun An was happy to see Pei Yu had a good appetite, and couldn't help teasing Cha Jiu.
"Your Highness, you don't know how shameless this girl Ah Chu is. When the chef was unwilling to teach her, she lied and said that her fiancé was dissatisfied with her poor cooking skills and wanted to cancel the engagement. The chef was so angry that he waved his hand and taught her several dishes on the spot."
"What? Could it be that our prince is your fiancé?"
Yun An said the last sentence as a joke to Cha Jiu.
"Ahem." Pei Yu choked on the soup and frowned, "Yun An, don't joke like that."
Yun An quickly restrained himself.
"And you." Pei Yu turned around and lectured Cha Jiu, "You are a young girl, how can you joke about your reputation? Do you think you can be married to a good family in the future?"
Cha Jiu, on the other hand, was calm and composed, not at all flustered.
She poured Pei Yu another bowl of old duck soup to replenish his blood, and then said gently, "Reputation is like a floating cloud to me. Rather than holding on to it nervously, waiting to exchange it for an illusory marriage in the future, it would be better to use it now to exchange for a delicious meal that you can see and eat, Your Highness!"
Yun An smiled secretly.
Pei Yu was helpless: "You are always the best at coming up with these twisted theories."
After spending some time together, he gradually got to know Cha Jiu.
He usually appears to be a calm and steady adult, but inside he has countless lively and jumping ideas that often make him laugh and cry, and also surprise himself.
She is an interesting little girl.
Keeping it by your side is not a waste.
Just then, Doctor Chen and a guard dressed in disguise walked in.
They looked at Cha Jiu, wanting to say something but stopping themselves.
Pei Yu said: "Zhichu, the white jade cake you made yesterday tasted good, can you make some more?"
Cha Jiu seemed unaware that he wanted to get rid of her. She nodded and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
Pei Yu didn't mean to hide it.
But it was about the unbearable memory at the negotiation banquet.
He didn't want Cha Jiu to hear the crazy things he did at the party.
After Cha Jiu left, Doctor Chen couldn't wait to say, "Your Highness, the prescription that the Fourth Prince gave you was fine, but there is a problem with the medicine you took."
Pei Yu frowned: "What do you mean?"
Doctor Chen: "The prescription lacks the ingredient of placenta powder, but I smelled it in your Highness's medicine residue, and the dosage of the other herbs has been increased, so the warming and tonic medicine has become overbearing, and it cannot be used with deer blood wine, otherwise it will cause hallucinations and confusion."
"The other doctors only looked at your prescription, but did not check the medicine you were actually taking, so they said deer blood wine could be used."
Cha Jiu originally relied on the smell on Pei Yu's body to determine the medicine he took, avoiding the deception of the prescription and directly revealing the mystery.
Unfortunately, other imperial physicians do not have such a keen sense of smell.
Pei Yu frowned even more: "But I didn't drink the deer blood wine at the banquet that day."
Doctor Chen added: "Not only deer blood wine, but other things that promote blood circulation will also produce the same effect. For example, the fragrance of lilies will also make people's blood and qi surge, and their emotions become excited, making them more easily controlled by hallucinations."
At this time, the guard beside him also said: "According to my investigation, peonies were supposed to be placed at the peace talks banquet, but on that day they were temporarily replaced with lilies."
And the palace was filled with lilies.
How could Pei Yu not go crazy?
"Okay, that's fine." Pei Yu sneered. The people behind him were really linked together and had endless tricks up their sleeves!
He could avoid the deer blood wine, but he could not avoid the lilies; even if he could avoid both, there might be other things waiting for him that he had not yet discovered!
"Who is the one who changed the lilies?"
"Empress Hui."
The biological mother of the fourth prince.
Pei Yu looked indifferent, as if he was not surprised at all by this answer.
During this period of recuperation, he gradually figured out many things.
In the past, he always thought that the arrogant and high-profile Third Prince was his biggest competitor.
But in reality, the Fourth Prince, who had been lurking beside him, silently showing goodwill and showing no ambition at all, was the most deadly poisonous snake.
The guard hesitated for a moment, but continued to report: "Your Majesty seems to be aware of this matter."
