Chapter 197 Please Suffer a Loss
The entire Shanglin Paddock knew the news that He Yanli had sent troops to Longxi, and they also knew that the assassination in the forest farm was the work of Xiling.
The Prince of Xiling, who had been treated with respect and courtesy not long ago, became an imprisoned hostage in the blink of an eye.
At noon, Guo Licheng hurriedly walked towards the palace and happened to meet Qian Miaoyun and others.
"Where are you going in such a hurry?"
Qian Miaoyun didn't say anything, but a young woman next to her asked curiously.
Seeing Guo Licheng's expression of surprise and anticipation, I guessed that there must be some happy event.
But now the whole Shanglin Paddock was shrouded in dark clouds, with everyone talking about how Xiling was willing to sacrifice a princess in order to assassinate the prince. How could she be happy?
Guo Licheng stopped and said with a smile: "I am in a hurry to go to the palace."
The temporary palace is where the emperor and empress live, as well as the crown prince and princess. It is difficult for ordinary people to enter without being summoned.
Guo Licheng's father did not hold a high official position, so how could she go to the palace?
Qian Miaoyun asked, "What are you going to the palace for?"
Guo Licheng smiled and said, "It's all thanks to Miss Qiao. I've been weak and sick easily since I was a child. This time, I asked Miss Qiao to introduce Divine Doctor Yun to treat me. Now, I'm going to see Divine Doctor Yun who is staying in the palace temporarily!"
Qian Miaoyun's face changed slightly, "Qiao Yihuan promised you to let Dr. Yun see you?"
Guo Licheng nodded, "Yes. Miss Qiao and I knew each other in the Flower God Temple before. Miss Qiao is a gentle and kind person. She agreed to my request this time. I won't say more. Miss Qiao and Divine Doctor Yun are still waiting for me in the palace. I'll take my leave now."
Everyone looked at Guo Licheng's back as he left, and then looked at Qian Miaoyun's expression, which was, as expected, very gloomy.
When Qian Miaoyun and Qiao Yihuan mentioned this matter yesterday, Qiao Yihuan did not give an accurate answer.
I thought that Doctor Yun really had a weird temper. As she said, she treated patients based on her mood.
But Guo Licheng just said that Qiao Yihuan agreed as soon as he was mentioned. Doesn't this clearly show that he doesn't take Qian Miaoyun seriously?
Qian Miaoyun's face darkened. "I'm going to go see the Queen, you guys take your time to enjoy the flowers."
No one said much. Qian Miaoyun was the queen's niece. Although her mother was not the same mother as the queen, the queen liked this niece very much, so she was naturally allowed to enter and leave the palace.
Qian Miaoyun said that she was going to pay a visit to the queen, but in fact she went to the palace where Qiao Wanyan lived.
At noon, Qiao Yihuan was invited to take a bath in the hot spring, but she declined, saying that she had to go to the palace to visit and take care of Qiao Wanyan, so she postponed the time to the afternoon.
Now that Qiao Yihuan is at Qiao Wanyan's place, Guo Licheng naturally comes here as well.
Qiao Wanyan sat lazily on the couch. Qiao Yihuan looked at Yun Heng who was about to check Guo Licheng's pulse and wanted to say something, but she was afraid that it would be embarrassing to be rejected by Master Yun in front of Qiao Wanyan.
He swallowed the words back over and over again, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
She had promised Qian Miaoyun today, so she came to Qiao Wanyan to try her luck.
If it works, that would be the best. If not, she had told Qian Miaoyun before that Doctor Yun always treats patients based on his mood, and she couldn't force Doctor Yun.
After Yun Heng came to the palace, he only checked the pulses of the emperor and empress, except for Qiao Wanyan, and adjusted the daily list of tonics and medicinal foods.
Apart from that, he didn't want to waste time seeing patients for others, but since Wan Yan asked him for help, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
The illness that could make Wanyan speak must be a very complicated one.
But how could Yun Heng know Qiao Wanyan’s real purpose?
However, Yun Heng took the pulse through the handkerchief, his brows slightly frowned, and he glanced at Guo Licheng who was blushing inexplicably, then he let out a long sigh and frowned even more tightly.
"Miss, are you really feeling unwell?"
Guo Licheng nodded, "Yes, Master Yun, I can't sleep every night, and even if I fall asleep, I always have nightmares. I am weak on weekdays, and I will catch a cold if I am not careful."
Yun Heng withdrew his hand from checking the girl's pulse. "But the girl's pulse is as strong as an ox, not as weak as she said."
Guo Licheng: “…”
"Um...well...maybe I'm better this morning!"
Guo Licheng spoke incoherently and then nodded heavily, "Yes, I drank a big bowl of brown sugar, ginger and jujube tea this morning, which must have been a great tonic for my body!"
Qiao Wanyan sneered, "What kind of brown sugar ginger jujube tea is this? It's so effective in replenishing the body, it's even better than Yun Heng's."
Guo Licheng's face turned red.
I'm not shy, I just feel embarrassed.
Qiao Wanyan added: "Lunch is about to start, sister, why don't you stay and join us?"
Qiao Yihuan hesitated for a long time but ultimately did not say anything. In the final analysis, he was still worried about being rejected and losing face in front of Qiao Wanyan and Guo Licheng.
What's more, if I speak out and get rejected, given Qiao Wanyan's bad intentions, the news will surely spread, and wouldn't I be completely embarrassed?
On the contrary, if I told Qian Miaoyun that Doctor Yun didn't want to treat her, they would not think that I was not familiar with Doctor Yun.
"No need. I have an appointment with Miss Qian from the Minister of Industry to go to the hot springs. I won't disturb you. Take care of yourself. I'll come back to see you later."
Qiao Yihuan left in a hurry and happened to see Qian Miaoyun at the gate of the palace.
"Miss Qian?!"
Qiao Yihuan was startled. She was worried that her lie would be exposed, so she was extremely sensitive. She asked in a trembling voice, "Why is Miss Qian here?"
Qian Miaoyun smiled and walked over to hold her arm, "I'm waiting for you. I just paid my respects to the Queen, and I knew you were also in the palace, so I waited for you here. Let's go, let's go to the hot spring to take a bath."
Qiao Yihuan heaved a sigh of relief, "Okay."
Tangquan Palace is located to the east of the palace, and ordinary noble ladies are not qualified to go there. But Qian Miaoyun has received the grace of the queen, so she is naturally qualified to enjoy the natural hot springs.
The Tangquan Palace is shrouded in clouds and mist, as if you have entered a secret corner of fairyland, with graceful veils.
Qiao Yihuan found it novel, but tried her best to control her expression, not wanting to give people the impression that she was worldly-wise.
"Miss Qian, the water temperature of the hot spring here is a bit hot and not suitable for swimming. I will take you to Jingyu Pavilion."
Qian Miaoyun stood by the hot spring pool, looking down at the wisps of white steam rising from it, then slowly walked behind Qiao Yihuan and suddenly kicked him down.
In an instant, water splashed everywhere, the boiling hot water wrapped around the skin, and Qiao Yihuan's screams sounded slowly.
"ah!!!"
