When Su Ci, Su Yan and several medicine boys had been busy behind closed doors for seven or eight days, Yang Yanzong came back with a large jar.
The jar was carried in by two strong young soldiers. When they put it on the ground, it made a heavy thump. A Kang explained, "Our people searched the Yangdu area first. We didn't hear of this in the temple, but there was an old medicine hall that seemed a bit like it, so the brothers carried it back."
However, it is not called aged mustard greens stew, but pickled juice. The people in the town who have used it all say that it is very effective in clearing away internal heat and curing throat congestion. Its medicinal effect is different from what Su Ci said, but the person who was looking for something had finally found something that was somewhat similar, and of course he didn't want to miss it, so he argued with the old doctor in the pharmacy for a long time before buying it.
Su Ci opened it a little, and a pungent smell rushed out immediately. Akang and the others were caught off guard and their faces were covered with the smoke, which was very sour. Su Ci pinched her nose and took a look. It was full of water, and it looked dark due to lack of light.
"Thank you for your hard work. This thing will be very useful if it is made."
Su Ci quickly closed the lid and said to A Kang and the others, A Kang said quickly: "Miss Su, you are too polite."
Akang and the others knew that if nothing unexpected happened, this person would be the future mistress, so they were even more respectful to her than before.
Su Yan rolled up her sleeves and carried the big jar inside with a few medicine boys.
Su Yan came with Su Ci. When she heard about Su Ci's job, her eyes lit up. She was so envious that she rubbed against Su Ci to squeeze in.
Su Ci is quite willing to do it, but this job is a bit too professional and Su Yan doesn't know how to do it, so she can only do some simple jobs at present. But Su Yan was willing to do everything, grinding powder, slicing, and carrying things. She had practiced martial arts and was very strong, so she rolled up her sleeves and did the rough and tiring work, and was more capable than the medicine boy.
She was very afraid that Yang Yanzong would see her and ask her to go back, so she kept her head down and hunched her chest, trying to reduce her presence. She shrunk her neck and quickly carried the big vat and left.
Yang Yanzong glanced at her indifferently and said nothing.
This man's aura was so strong that even Su Yan and the medicine boy ran away in a few seconds, and the huge front hall became quiet.
The afternoon sun filtered in through the half-worn window screens. Several large plaques of medicinal herbs were drying in the corridor. There was a spicy and dry smell in the air. The room was quiet. Yang Yanzong sat leaning on the first armchair in the left row. The sun covered his left shoulder. He leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes slightly. His left hand slowly turned the black jade ring on his right thumb.
Su Ci knew that the situation outside was not good and this hurdle would not be easy to overcome, but there was no trace of panic or gloom on Yang Yanzong's face. His every move was unhurried and he was as calm and composed as ever.
Su Ci was a little worried at first, but it all disappeared in an instant. She sat down on the other side, opened the medicine box, took out the pulse pillow and placed it on the table. She was quite skilled in the movements. She also knew how to take a pulse. When she was a child, her parents were too busy with work, so she was taken care of by her grandparents. Who would have thought that after all the twists and turns, she would be doing this again.
Yang Yanzong placed his right hand on the pulse pillow. Su Ci listened carefully to his pulse for a while, and then checked his rehabilitation and recovery.
Yang Yanzong's hands have slender fingers with calluses on the fingertips, which are strong and vigorous. Even when they are relaxed on the pulse pillow, they still give people a strong and powerful feeling. This is a hand with great explosive power.
The hands reflect the person.
Su Ci carefully observed how he moved his five fingers one by one to grasp, and then asked him how he felt and how it compared to before the injury.
"It's recovering pretty well, but don't be too hasty. It takes time for the tendons to heal completely. Excessive movement too early may cause the anastomosis to break again. You must proceed step by step."
“It will take about four to six months to get back to business as usual.”
Yang Yanzong nodded. After the follow-up consultation, Su Ci put away the pulse pillow. After Yang Yanzong moved his wrist, he said lightly: "The old mustard greens stew is still being found. See if this is suitable for you first."
He could tell at a glance that Su Ci was only barely satisfied with the pickle, which was still a far cry from her expectations.
"Yeah! Thank you for your hard work."
Su Ci was planning to mention it, but now she doesn’t want to do it anymore. What a nice person!
Her big eyes sparkled, and she gave Boss Yang a good name. Her cheerful voice was exceptionally clear and bright: "Then I'll prepare the medicine and ask Akang to deliver it to you later."
"Um."
Yang Yanzong glanced at her, nodded, and stood up without further ado. Su Ci sent him to the door. Outside the yard, he saw Yang Yanxin and Yang Yanzhen walking quickly towards him, and then they walked out while talking in low voices.
The group of people left in a hurry, and the pharmacy courtyard returned to silence. Su Ci shrugged and turned to walk towards the inner hall pharmacy.
In addition to researching penicillin, her main task now is to prescribe medicine for Yang Yanzong. He was seriously injured at the beginning, much more seriously than her father, and rehabilitation would be better with the help of medicine.
Su Ci walked briskly towards the inner hall. Just as she passed through the back door and entered the yard, she suddenly smelled a very faint smell of pickled rot in the air, and her brows immediately frowned!
——This is the smell of pickles. The smell in the front room has dissipated, and there is no way that the smell is still left in the backyard. And she just reminded them not to open the lid casually.
Su Ci took two steps at a time, rushed up the corridor and pushed open the door of her private pharmacy!
A figure flashed past the medicine table quickly. The smell of pickled juice in the room became stronger. On the medicine table were the raw materials she was going to use to make ointment for Yang Yanzong. Chuan Duanxu connected bones and tendons, dredge meridians, saffron invigorated blood circulation and removed blood stasis, Qilinjie astringed and healed wounds, etc. - all of these raw materials were used for follow-up care after recovery from injuries.
The figure with a dark blue back and a turban on his heads is a medicine boy. In a flash, he is seen bending over to identify the herbs on the medicine table. He quickly rushes into the small rest room, and the window pane opens and closes with a "click".
Insider.
Oh shit!
Su Ci cursed loudly and shouted, and the people in the tea room in the front yard and the guards outside the gate rushed over here quickly, but the man had already jumped out of the window and over the wall.
Su Ci jumped out of the window, took seven or eight steps, and barely reached the top of the wall with a leap. The gravel on top made her grimace. She kicked and climbed up quickly, and then jumped down from the nearly three-meter-high wall.
"Where are you running?!"
The man didn't expect her to be so fierce. He was a little slow, covered his face and ran forward. Su Ci directly pulled her hair loose. She came to the pharmacy today dressed very simply, without even a hairpin on her head. She just used a string of beads to tie a small bun in her long hair. The beads were torn off with one pull, and she grabbed the beads and threw them forward!
The man slipped and was caught by her, but he was a man after all, stronger than her, and he struggled and pulled, turning a corner at high speed, and with a "bang"!
The two of them bumped into someone head-on. Su Ci hit one of them hard in the chest and abdomen. Stars appeared in her eyes and she was almost knocked flying. The man stretched out his arm and grabbed her waist. She was knocked back again. The tip of her nose hit her chest muscle. She was so sore that she almost cried, but she finally stood firm and did not fall to the ground.
Su Ci was still in shock. She covered her nose and widened her eyes. Why were there so many people behind this alley?
Didn’t Yang Yanzong leave? !
This is a dead-end alley, and there is no one in the barracks on either side. If Su Ci hadn't been chasing him so urgently, that person would never have rushed in.
Yang Yanzong remained calm. After Su Ci stood still, he glanced at the medicine boy who had bumped into A Kang and was forced to kneel on the ground, and said calmly, "Kill him."
The medicine boy kneeling on the ground showed a look of panic. Before he could struggle to speak, his mouth was covered and he was pulled back a few steps. Akang drew out his sword without hesitation, and with a muffled "puff" sound, the sword pierced through his heart and his vest.
Su Ci swallowed and took a peek. The man was motionless, with a look of struggle still on his young face. His eyes were wide open and blood quickly dyed the earth red, brown and yellow. Soon someone dragged him away.
Su Ci swallowed again and quickly looked away, not daring to look any further. She whispered, "...did I destroy something?"
Yang Yanzong did not leave and his expression did not look surprised.
Su Ci was very worried, wondering if she had accidentally destroyed something.
"No problem."
Yang Yanzong didn't say much, just said: "It's not a big problem."
Su Ci is an unmarried girl, it is not decent to be out with her hair dishevelled like this. Yang Yanxin and Yang Yanzhen turned their backs immediately, as did Akang and the others. Yang Yanzong took off his outer robe and covered her head, "I'll have someone take you back."
Su Ci was a little worried, but she couldn't ask anything. It wasn't suitable for her to stay outside all the time. She despised this disgusting ancient times in her heart. She pulled her outer robe together and had to follow A Kang back.
"Isn't our sister-in-law too capable?" She could actually climb over a ten-foot-tall wall just like that!
Yang Yanzhen was the youngest and couldn't hold back his words. He yelled something but his brother glanced at him and stopped talking. He then asked worriedly, "Brother, what should we do now?"
If anyone sees them, they must be killed.
But this spy belongs to the prince, who ordered him to spy. It turns out that their plan is to let the other party see what they want to see and then let it go.
"Nothing serious."
Yang Yanzong turned the leather wrist guard on his right hand and said calmly: "The news has already been spread once."
His hand was really fine, and the message Yang Yanzong wanted to convey to the prince had been delivered.
If the prince weighs the pros and cons, accepts each other, and returns to normal, then there will be no problem.
Yang Yanzong narrowed his eyes. It was terribly difficult. The mirror was broken and it was not easy to restore it to its original state. Even if he was willing, he was afraid that both parties could not go back to the way they were before.
"What should I do, brother?" His brother hasn't been reinstated yet. The prince seems to be very positive, but in reality there are always obstacles of one kind or another.
"We'll play it by ear."
Yang Yanzong said calmly, glancing at the bloodstains on the corner of the wall, "It's better to kill this man."
If the prince cannot accept him, then he will only go to the other extreme and become wary.
So it is better to be more cautious than less.
Yang Yanzong raised his lips coldly.
…
The Sixth Prince’s Palace, the Crown Prince’s East Courtyard.
With a loud crash, everything on the large desk was swept to the ground. The prince said angrily, "Yang Yanzong is so bold!!"
There were two other people in the study, one in his thirties, the other in his mid-twenties, with square faces, brocade clothes and long boots, and they spoke in deep voices, "Don't be upset, brother Yan."
These two were the nephews of the Sixth Princess, the eldest son and the second legitimate son of the Marquis of Zhenbei. From the perspective of their legitimate mother and etiquette, they were also cousins of the eldest son.
The interests of the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion and the Six Princes' Mansions are tied together. The help that a marquisate with generations of lords can bring is of course much more far-reaching than Yamato. The situation was critical at the time, and only one could be saved no matter what. Under desperation, the prince finally chose to save the brothers of the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion.
"So, Yang Yanzong's hand is indeed healed."
"Oh, this is unbelievable. Where did he find such a good doctor? He is so skilled?"
Shi Shigan, the son of Zhenbei Marquis, did not comment much on what Yang Yanzong did, but only said implicitly: "It may be a little difficult now."
Then he kept silent.
Ji Yan's face was as gloomy as water. Yang Yanzong was not the kind of person who would just accept others' orders. Even his father was alarmed by the matter of the military town, and it was still being processed.
——If you want the military town to return to its original position more smoothly and legitimately, then in this process, it is imperative to reinstate Yang Yanzong.
Another thing is that Yang Yanzong has a special status. He and the prince are real cousins. It would have been fine if he had no choice before, but now that he is back, the prince cannot deal with him casually, otherwise the people under him will be disappointed.
Ji Yan's face was gloomy and uncertain. He discussed with the Shi brothers for a while but reached no result. Then, footsteps were heard outside the door. Ji Chen came.
The three people in the study room fell silent in tacit agreement. The prince responded and the door opened. Ji Chen had a fair face with clear eyes and eyebrows. He knew at a glance that the prince was discussing some secrets with the Shi brothers. He smiled and pretended not to notice. He respectfully saluted the prince, smiled and clasped his fists at the Shi brothers, with clear eyes and eyebrows, gentle and elegant, and said: "Prince, my aunt is feeling a little unwell and said she wants to see you."
The Shi brothers stood up and said, "Sir, we will go back first."
"Go ahead."
Ji Yan personally escorted them to the study door and watched them walk away. Then he frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Auntie? Why are you feeling unwell for no reason?"
…
Aunt Yan said she felt chest tightness and that it was because she was angry with someone, but according to Su Ci, she was just pretending.
She came to the house for no reason and acted like a big shot, and even asked people to bow 90 degrees and flatter her. Normally, she would have been patient enough to attend the socializing. But today, she was worried about whether she had done anything bad to Yang Yanzong, and her heart was in turmoil, so it was inevitable that she would not be so proactive.
But today Aunt Yan came to see her specifically.
After all, Yang Yanzong is the nephew that Aunt Yan values very much. As Yang Yanzong's fiancée, Su Ci is naturally her focus.
Su Ci made the ointment and took it home. As she and her sister stepped into the courtyard, they saw Aunt Yan bringing a large group of maids and old women. The two sisters didn't even need to look at each other, but tacitly said "pooh" in their hearts, "it's bad luck."
Su Ci still pretended to be dull, which was not what Aunt Yan wanted - she was very good at sensing other people's emotions, otherwise she would not have been promoted from a maidservant to a concubine by the Sixth Prince, and then became the biological mother of the prince, and was still favored by him.
She has some feeling whether the other party truly cares for her, such as Su Yan, Su Ci, and Su Rong.
Su Ci was a man of few words, polite but taciturn. She was displeased by what Aunt Yan said, and went back saying that her heart ached. She was so angry that she also found an excuse to see her son.
A biological mother and son are biological mother and son, even if they were not raised by their parents and could not see each other often, they are still different after all. Aunt Yan was supported by her son to drink a cup of Astragalus tea, and she frowned and scolded Su Ci from head to toe.
Aunt Yan noticed that her son was in a different mood than usual and asked, "Sir, what's wrong with you? Is there something bothering you outside?"
"No big deal."
The prince smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He patted Aunt Yan on the back, and after a while, he curled his lips and said - A real man should make decisions decisively. Who has accomplished great things without making choices? !
He does not regret his original choice.
But now, it has become a problem.
Aunt Yan was still complaining, and the prince hugged her shoulders, narrowed his eyes at her, and said, "If you don't listen, then change someone else!"
…
The opportunity came so unexpectedly.
Su Ci was worried for two days, but Yang Yanzong was very calm. She rushed to deliver the medicine in person, and he did not show any sign of panic.
This person is like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea. No matter how strong the storm is, he remains unmoved and makes people feel inexplicably calm.
I hope the plan isn't ruined. Su Ci was afraid that if she flapped her butterfly wings carelessly, it would have some impact on the final outcome. She would be so angry that she would die. Amitabha, I hope that doesn't happen!
With the heavy stone lifted from her heart, Su Ci became lively again.
She was busy preparing medicines, drawing blueprints, building some beds in the equipment room, and arranging the medical camp and the laboratory according to her own ideas. But sometimes, when luck comes, it cannot be stopped, and the opportunity just comes right in front of her!
