Chapter 8 Blood Jade Fox
Soon, Jun Huolan's head, body, and feet were covered with silver needles, while Mo Yunzhu's face turned slightly pale, with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
"You can use your internal force to slightly impact the acupoints, and the effect will be faster and better." Mo Yunzhu said after raising her eyes and looking at Jun Huolan.
"Okay." Jun Huolan responded and began to slowly circulate his internal energy to impact the location where the silver needle was inserted. The sore feeling made him frown slightly.
"It's done." Mo Yunzhu waited for a while and began to pull out the silver needle. When she was done, she said, "Try using your Qi again to see if you feel better."
Jun Huolan did as he was told, and soon a look of surprise appeared on his handsome face. Some of the places that were blocked by toxins or difficult for internal force to pass through were now unblocked and functioning much more smoothly.
After one cycle of operation, he suddenly felt refreshed, as if he had more strength. The itchy throat and the urge to cough were gone. He was extremely shocked. He didn't expect Mo Yunzhu's medical skills to be so great.
"Thank you. Just now... I was a little impulsive. I'm sorry." Jun Huolan was a little embarrassed and his handsome face turned red.
Mo Yunzhu was stunned. She didn't expect him to apologize, and her heart instantly felt relieved.
I immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I accept your apology. After all, we will have to live together for a long time in the future, and I don't want my life to be too difficult."
After saying that, he immediately changed the subject: "By the way, acupuncture only has a relieving effect, so that you don't feel so uncomfortable. Try not to use your internal energy. I will come back in a few days. I have been out for quite a while, so I should go back. Haojiang, let's take your blood."
"Oh." Hao Jiang took the bottle and handed it to his master.
Jun Huolan silently glanced at her pretty face, then scratched her pulse with his finger. His nails broke the flesh and blood immediately flowed out and dripped into the jade bottle.
"That's enough." Mo Yunzhu looked at the dosage and called a halt. "Eat more things to replenish your blood and qi. Also, your lungs are seriously damaged. It's best to buy some high-quality Fritillaria and Cordyceps sinensis and make soup with them on a daily basis."
"Okay." Jun Huolan looked at her and agreed obediently.
Hao Jiang looked a little awkward.
"Haojiang, take me out." Mo Yunzhu packed her things and walked out. Haojiang glanced at his master.
Jun Huolan nodded, and Hao Jiang followed him out with big strides.
"Prince Lan has been back home for a month. Why is the mansion still so deserted and everything is so old?" Mo Yunzhu asked as they walked.
"Ahem, my master is seriously ill and has no time to do these things."
"Are all the servants busy?"
Hao Jiang was very embarrassed and coughed awkwardly.
"Because you have no money, the herbs I just mentioned are very valuable. You look unhappy." Mo Yunzhu glanced at him, "Since you treat me as a princess, you should tell the truth."
Hao Jiang scratched his head and said, "Princess, the master originally brought some money back, but he was attacked on the way, and all the valuables were gone.
After returning, the emperor gave him some rewards, but they were all goods. The Ministry of Internal Affairs gave him some silver, and the prince spent almost all of it on bribes. However, the prince said that he would find a way to make money when he was better.
"Arrange?" Mo Yunzhu raised an eyebrow.
"The master has been gone for ten years. Who respects the master anymore? Even the servants in the palace don't look at him well. The master will have to go to the palace to meet people later, so he has to take care of things." Hao Jiang sighed, "The master is really suffering."
"I will ask someone to send some silver over and tell the prince that since the couple is tied up, I can't let outsiders look down on the Prince Lan's Mansion. If he is unreasonable, let him earn money and pay me back in the future." Mo Yunzhu said after thinking for a while.
Hao Jiang was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes: "I understand. Thank you, Princess. God has finally shown mercy to my master."
"Good days are ahead. I'm leaving now." Mo Yunzhu quickened her pace and ran out, then got on the general's carriage and left.
Mo Yunzhu returned to the general's mansion and happened to meet Qin Shitu going out.
"The eldest lady is back." Qin Shitu immediately made way and saluted.
Mo Yunzhu glanced at him. In the original owner's memory, this housekeeper's son seemed to have always disliked her, the eldest daughter, and always looked at her with disgust. Now Mo Yunzhu felt a little confused when she thought about it.
"Where are you going?" Mo Yunzhu asked casually.
"Ah, my father asked me to go buy something. I'll be back soon. Bye, Miss." Qin Shitu was a little flustered. He seemed to have not expected that the eldest lady would suddenly talk to him, so he ran away in a hurry.
Mo Yunzhu frowned, but didn't care much, as she needed money more now.
I thought that I was financially independent in modern times, so I had to be able to make money here.
When she arrived at her parents' yard, Mo Tiancheng was not there, so she went straight to find her mother Feng Jinyu.
"Mother, can you lend me 12,000 taels of silver?" Mo Yunzhu went straight to the point.
Feng Jinyu was startled by her and asked anxiously: "Yunzhu, what do you want so much money for? What happened? Don't scare me."
"Nothing happened. I went to Prince Lan's mansion. Alas." Mo Yunzhu began to complain about Prince Lan's pity, and Feng Jinyu's face changed.
"Prince Lan is so pitiful." Feng Jinyu's heart softened immediately, "Yun Zhu, Prince Lan's body... do you think he won't live long? Then you are not..."
"Mother, do we still have a choice now? Since it's a foregone conclusion, I want to be nice to him so that he can at least live a few more years." Mo Yunzhu said with tears in her eyes.
"Okay, okay, don't cry. I'll get you some money." Feng Jinyu immediately handed her a few banknotes. "By the way, Prince Lan's Mansion is so poor, what about the betrothal gift?"
"I was just about to ask my father about this. Prince Lan probably can't prepare much betrothal gifts, but I don't want to embarrass the military mansion and let my father make some sarcastic remarks in front of the emperor. Prince Lan is a prince after all. If he is too shabby, the emperor can't afford to lose face! The Queen Mother loves me. I was framed and can't be the Crown Princess. I have to marry Prince Lan, a cripple. She must feel wronged for me."
Feng Jinyu's eyes lit up and she nodded, "Yun Zhu, you've become smarter."
"The prince has let me down. I must live a better life than him and let him see if he is the one I must have!" Mo Yunzhu deliberately pretended to be irritated by the broken engagement.
"Yun Zhu, don't be too sad. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's marriage arrangement when you were young, your parents would not want you to marry the prince. As long as Prince Lan is in good health and treats you well, it will be better. By the way, mother has something to give you."
As she spoke, Feng Jinyu pulled out a piece of blood jade tied with a red rope from her neck, then took it off and handed it to Mo Yunzhu.
Mo Yunzhu was a little confused and took it to have a look.
The blood jade is not big, it is oval in shape, with a small animal carved on the front, which is very delicate and lifelike. If you look closely, it should be a small fox.
"Mother, why did you give it to me?" Mo Yunzhu raised her head and asked, "Does my second sister have one too?"
