Chapter 169 Who are you trying to scare?
Bu Ruo walked over and circled around him, clicking her tongue non-stop: "You're so dirty... I haven't had time to care about you these days, so what are you doing in the carriage? You don't get out of the carriage except to eat and eat the five grains. This is not like you."
"Hmph, I won't tell you..." Looking at Bu Ruo's threatening eyes, he changed his words spinelessly, "Well... the day before we left, I saw an ancient prescription in my master's tent."
"Although it's an incomplete recipe, my master said that if we could complete it, even a dying immortal could be saved. However, he's been researching it for so many years and still lacks one ingredient."
"Since the prince is on the verge of death, I thought I'd do some research... What if I figure it out? Then Ruo'er wouldn't have to worry so much every day."
"But I used to only use a large pot to make medicinal food, not an alchemy furnace. While I was studying it... the furnace exploded. This is my master's most precious alchemy furnace. I stole it, and I don't know how to explain it to that old man. Anyway, he will definitely give me a beating."
Bu Ruo looked at his dirty face and felt both angry and amused. In the end, she could only sigh: "We are all tired after traveling for so many days. We are staying in an inn tonight, so it's time to buy some food."
"Jin Congcong... I'll give the silver to Qian Luan and have him accompany you to buy what you need. As for the alchemy furnace... I'll have Mo Bao find a good one for you to compensate Grandpa Du. At least you can avoid a beating."
"Ruo'er, you are so kind. You are the best to me in this world. When you are old, I will remember to respect you well and take care of you in your old age..."
Bu Ruo dodged the hand that was trying to grab her sleeve with disdain: "Respect me and provide for my old age... It's not certain who will die first between us, so just don't ask me to dig your grave when the time comes."
Jin Congcong: ...
Bu Ruo returned to the carriage. Xiao Yulan smiled and said, "Be nice to him. After all, he is researching the elixir for us, right?"
Bu Ruo glanced at him and said, "My dear prince, I grew up with him. How could I not know what he is thinking?"
"He studied that stuff for our benefit, yes, but mostly for himself."
"Ever since he learned of the curse and doom he carries, he's been obsessed with how to save his life. Even someone who always runs away at the sight of elixirs has dedicated themselves to researching them day and night. But do you think he can actually find the final ingredient that Grandpa Du spent half his life researching without success?"
"I'm just spending a little money to keep him quiet for a while, so he doesn't have to worry about it all day and scare himself to death."
Xiao Yulan comforted him, "Don't underestimate him. Maybe he'll be lucky enough to figure it out."
Bu Ruo thought for a moment and said, "When we get to town, I'll have to ask for the recipe. If it's really useful to you, I'll study it with him."
"After all, I'm also a Holy Spirit. My luck should be better than his."
Xiao Yulan nodded without comment. His feelings towards Bu Ruo were the same as Bu Ruo's feelings towards Jin Congcong. He wanted her to have something to do and not think about the demon pill all day long, which made her feel bad. She had been getting angry more frequently recently.
That night, the group arrived at a nearby town. After dinner, just as Bu Ruo entered the room to rest, Jin Congcong came.
"Ruo'er, let me take the prince's pulse. Maybe I'll get some inspiration from it."
"And you, after I finish taking the prince's pulse, I'll take yours as well. I think you've been a bit irritable lately. I stole several elixir recipes from my master this time, and one of them seems to have some for relieving heat. I'll make some for you to try later."
Xiao Yulan smiled and extended his hand: "Come on, I hope to give Jin Xiaoshen Doctor some inspiration. If the elixir research is successful, I will also benefit from it."
Jin Congcong nodded while taking his pulse: "Look at how good the prince's attitude is. Look at Ruo'er, she wants to poke a hole in the sky."
"Well... Your Highness, you are indeed feeling much better, but you are still a little weak. You must abstain from sex for the next few days. If that doesn't work, you can consider sleeping in separate rooms from Ruo'er."
"Jin Congcong!"
Seeing Bu Ruo's fiery eyes, someone shrank his neck: "Okay, I won't say anything, you two can do whatever you want. Anyway, my master has prepared so many tonic pills for the prince, the worst that can happen is that he can just take a few more."
"Jin Congcong, you still say!"
"No more talking, Ruo'er, come here, it's your turn. Look at how angry you are, it's scary."
Bu Ruo originally wanted to beat someone up, but when he saw Xiao Yulan's worried look, he sat down obediently and stretched out his hand.
"That's right, the prince can finally cure you... Ruo'er, let me tell you..."
Before he could finish his words, the two of them noticed that Jin Congcong suddenly fell silent, with a serious face and not even a word.
As the saying goes, you are not afraid of Chinese medicine practitioners smiling, but you are afraid of them with a frown. Jin Congcong's behavior made Xiao Yulan's heart tighten.
Seeing this, Bu Ruo slapped someone on the head with his other hand: "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Who are you trying to scare with this?"
Jin Congcong rarely refuted and just said softly: "Don't be impatient, let me try again, how is this possible?"
After a while, Jin Congcong stood up and said, "Ruo'er, don't move. Wait for me for a while. I'll go out and find a doctor. Don't walk around. Wait for me to come back."
Bu Ruo opened her mouth and almost died of anger: "He! The only closed disciple of Doctor Du, he went out to find a doctor to take my pulse! I really... Or I can just kick him to death, otherwise he will die at the hands of Grandpa Du sooner or later."
Just when Bu Ruo was drowsy, Jin Congcong came back with an elderly doctor in his hand.
"Ruo'er, hurry up and stretch out your hand! I asked, and this is the best and oldest doctor in town. There must be no problem with the pulse."
"Why are you looking at me? Reach out, reach out quickly."
Because Jin Congcong brought the doctor to Buruo's room and there was quite a bit of noise, Bier, Qian Luan and others were frightened and followed over. They stood in the room and looked at Buruo nervously.
"Hold! Jin Congcong, if you can't feel your pulse today, I will send you back to the mountain tonight."
Jin Congcong still did not refute, but just watched the doctor sit down in a cold sweat and take Bu Ruo's pulse tremblingly. It was not because of old age, but because of fear.
Not long after, the old doctor withdrew his hand, feeling relieved. "This lady is fine, she's just worried too much. She needs to rest and avoid running around or overexerting herself. I'll prescribe some medicine to help maintain the pregnancy. Madam, take it on time. As long as the first three months pass, the fetus will be stable."
The room was completely silent... so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Even Bu Ruo didn't move. Only Jin Congcong was rubbing his hands happily.
"See, I told you I found it, but it's better to find a doctor to confirm it, so you don't have to believe me."
