"I am the prince's bodyguard, so naturally I am also Miss Xu's person!"
Pei Xuan did not hide his identity as he spoke to Chu Guangbai.
Upon hearing this, Chu Guangbai immediately understood.
Xu Yuehuai didn't have anyone useful around her, but this person was Qi Guze's man, so he could be trusted.
"Go back and tell Manager Xu that I will go to the Tianxianglou branch in a few days to discuss matters with him."
Upon hearing this, Pei Xuan immediately nodded, "Okay, then I'll take the message back to Miss Xu right now."
Chu Guangbai waved, signaling Pei Xuan to leave on his own.
Those waiting outside, seeing that Chu Guangbai had no plans, stood by and watched Pei Xuan leave from afar.
Just after Pei Xuan left, Chu Guangbai started coughing again, and as he coughed, he suddenly coughed up blood.
He wiped away the bloodstains with a handkerchief, intending to hide it.
Just as Chu Guangbai was about to hide the handkerchief, the butler came in and was shocked to see that the handkerchief in Chu Guangbai's hand was stained with blood.
"Young Master! What's wrong with you?"
Where do you feel unwell?
"I'll fetch a doctor for you right away!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Guangbai immediately grabbed the butler's arm.
"There's no need to call the doctor. This is an old ailment of mine, as you know. It'll be fine with some medicine."
The steward was indeed worried about Chu Guangbai. Although Chu Guangbai had been sick before, it had never been as serious as it had been recently.
It's all because Chu Guangbai reduced his dosage of medicine that his condition has become more serious.
"Young Master, you must take good care of yourself!"
"What will the old lady do if something happens to you?"
"What are we going to do with the entire Chu family?"
The Chu family was small, and now only Chu Guangbai's lineage remained.
Chu Guangbai is not married or has children yet, so he absolutely cannot be allowed to get into trouble!
If anything happens to Chu Guangbai, the whole summer vacation will be ruined!
Chu Guangbai was well aware of this, but he also knew he wouldn't let his health deteriorate to the point of being beyond cure.
"I have medicine here, so there's no need to see a doctor. You don't need to worry; I know what I'm doing!"
Chu Guangbai waved his hand, signaling the steward to leave.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Chu Guangbai, the steward could only retreat helplessly.
Meanwhile, Pei Xuan quickly returned to the Tianxianglou branch and immediately reported the matter to Xu Yuehuai.
"You mean Chu Guangbai hasn't come to discuss things with me because he hasn't been feeling well lately?"
Xu Yuehuai had guessed this reason before, but she didn't expect it to actually be true.
Pei Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master Chu looks particularly unwell, as if he is seriously ill. He is lying on the couch looking sickly, and it is quite frightening to see him like that."
Xu Yuehuai said, "Chu Guangbai saved me before and even wanted to cooperate with me to open more Tianxianglou branches. Since he is seriously ill, we should take good care of him. Take this money and buy some tonics for Chu Guangbai."
Pei Xuan took the silver notes from Xu Yuehuai and immediately went to carry out his business.
He had just stepped out of Xu Yuehuai's room when he ran into Qi Guze, who had come looking for Xu Yuehuai.
"Where are you going? You seem to be in such a hurry, is something urgent?"
Qi Guze asked Pei Xuan.
Upon seeing that it was Qi Guze, Pei Xuan dared not conceal anything and told Qi Guze everything that Xu Yuehuai had instructed him to do.
"Miss Xu asked me to buy some tonics for Young Master Chu."
Upon hearing this, Qi Guze asked, "What happened to Chu Guangbai?"
Pei Xuan explained, "Young Master Chu is seriously ill and is currently bedridden."
"So he was seriously ill. Take all of my top-quality medicinal herbs."
Pei Xuan was somewhat puzzled, "Why would Master send his own medicine to Young Master Chu?"
"Your Excellency, you were also seriously injured!"
Qi Guze waved his hand and then replied.
"You don't know that Chu Guangbai gave up his family's treasured Tianshan Snow Lotus to save A Yue. Since he has paid so much, I naturally have to help A Yue pay back more."
To prevent Chu Guangbai from clinging to Xu Yuehuai because of this favor.
Qi Guze thought that the best way to repay Chu Guangbai's kindness to Xu Yuehuai was to save Chu Guangbai's life.
Pei Xuan was unaware of Qi Guze's thoughts, and he didn't quite understand what Qi Guze was saying.
"Do as I say!"
Qi Guze urged Pei Xuan to hurry up and get things done.
After receiving the order, Pei Xuan left immediately.
A short while later, Pei Xuan took some medicinal herbs collected by Qi Guze and some tonics from Xu Yuehuai's silver, and sent them to the Chu family.
Chu Guangbai was somewhat surprised when he received these medicinal herbs.
He was chronically ill and frequently took medicine. He also had some medical knowledge, and upon seeing the herbs, he immediately understood their value.
"I never expected that Manager Xu would be able to afford such a high price to buy such valuable herbs for me."
Chu Guangbai thought all the herbs were given by Xu Yuehuai and never suspected Qi Guze.
Upon hearing this, Pei Xuan spoke the truth.
"This portion of herbs is a gift from Miss Xu, and the other portion is a gift from my master, the Prince!"
Chu Guangbai was quite surprised to hear this.
"You mean some of the medicinal herbs were a gift from the Prince?"
Pei Xuan nodded.
Chu Guangbai suddenly smiled faintly and said to Pei Xuan.
"When you go back later, you must thank Manager Xu and the Prince properly!"
"Yes, I will."
Chu Guangbai then had the steward bring some snacks for Pei Xuan to take back.
Pei Xuan didn't know why Chu Guangbai wanted him to take the pastries back, but he didn't refuse. After taking the pastries, he rushed back to the Tianxianglou branch.
Xu Yuehuai just came out of the house and saw the pastries Pei Xuan was holding.
"Where did you buy these pastries? They look quite different from what you'd expect!"
Pei Xuan said directly, "I got them from Young Master Chu. He asked me to bring the snacks back, but he didn't say who I was going to give them to."
Xu Yuehuai said, "Then it must be for you to bring it to me to taste. I want to have a good taste and see what's different about this pastry."
She took the pastry from Pei Xuan's hand, unwrapped the beautiful wrapping paper, and after tasting a bit, she was immediately shocked.
The texture is incredibly smooth, with a crispy outer layer and something that looks like chocolate inside!
Why is there chocolate here?
How did people in ancient times know how to make chocolate?
Xu Yuehuai felt increasingly horrified as she thought about it. Could it be that besides her, there were other people who had transmigrated into this world?
