Liu coaxed her daughter, "Let me think about it, let me think about it..."

Chu Qianling bit her lower lip slightly and held Liu's hand, as if a drowning person was grabbing a piece of driftwood.

Liu said again: "Don't worry, leave it to mother, mother will make Chu Qianchen believe it."

Liu tried her best to persuade Chu Qianling, and finally managed to calm her down temporarily.

Chu Qianling was much calmer at this time, and she snuggled obediently in Liu's arms, like a little bird.

Mrs. Liu patted her daughter's back gently to calm her down.

Seeing that Liu had calmed Chu Qianling, the maids at the side exchanged glances and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Since the third lady's face was disfigured, her temper has become even worse. She would smash things and punish the servants at every turn, causing the servants of the second room to be miserable.

Nanny Zhang observed the expression and said, "Madam, tell me, how did the Second Young Lady get so many Perfect Creams? I remember she gave them to Qingyu and the Fourth Young Master, and she even smashed a can in front..."

Yes, where on earth did Chu Qianchen get so many bottles of Shiquan ointment? Liu moved her eyebrows thoughtfully and murmured, "I heard that this miracle doctor hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet?"

Aunt Zhang's mind moved, and she said, "Madam, you mean the second young lady is..."

Before she could finish her words, Liu interrupted her decisively: "Impossible, she can't be."

Liu's expression was very certain. Yes, if Chu Qianchen was the miracle doctor, how could she have sent Prince Chen's men to smash the plaque of the Marquis' Mansion, causing such a ridiculous farce and making the Marquis' Mansion a laughing stock in the capital.

Besides, Chu Qianchen is a concubine's daughter. Only if the Marquis's Mansion is good can she marry well and have someone to rely on in the future. Since she knows how to please her stepmother, it is impossible for her not to understand the interests involved.

Liu thought about it again and speculated, "I think Chu Qianchen probably has several cans in his hand, but he just holds them in his hand and refuses to take them out."

"This Chu Qianchen is as cunning as Chu Qianhuang. She clearly has the Perfect Cream in her hand but she won't give it to you. She is determined to cause discord between your aunt and the Marquis and his wife. To put it bluntly, she is just trying to please your aunt."

It was because of pleasing the Shen family that Chu Qianchen had her current status in the Marquis' Mansion. Even the new materials coming from Jiangnan were chosen by her first, and Chu Qianhuang would always give in to her!

"I was also wrong. I always thought she was a good girl, but she was just pretending. Maybe even Aunt Jiang was deceived. Her daughter wanted to climb up by stepping on her own mother."

The more Liu talked, the more she felt that this was the case, and she secretly sighed: These two girls in the eldest house are really not easy to deal with, no wonder her daughter was harmed by them like this!

Liu raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, looking worried.

She also couldn't understand why Chu Qianhuang targeted Chu Qianchen. It couldn't be that she was jealous of Chu Qianchen's good looks, right?

No matter how pretty a concubine's daughter is, she is destined to be someone's concubine. To put it bluntly, no lady from a noble family would compete with an oiran for favor, as that would be lowering her status.

Liu thought about it again and again but still felt that she had no clues, and wondered what kind of reason she could make up to convince Chu Qianchen.

Liu was so troubled by this that several of her hair turned white due to worry.

As for Chu Qianchen, since he had pushed the matter to others, he no longer thought about it and focused on making medicine.

After several days of hard work, the pills and Jiuxu ointment were finally prepared before the agreed date.

She went to Jishidiang wearing a veil early in the morning, and then got on the carriage of Prince Chen's Mansion and entered the palace as a miracle doctor.

She was taken to the water pavilion in the garden, where Gu Jue and Qin Yao were both there.

"Little girl," Qin Yao, who was sitting in a wheelchair, waved at Chu Qianchen with a smile, "Come and play chess with me."

Qin Yao could neither go out nor get up, and he was almost bored to death every day. He was too impatient to read, so he could only play chess, toss pots, play the flute, etc.

"No!" Chu Qianchen refused without giving any face.

She was too lazy to play chess with Qin Yao, a poor chess player. Yun Zhan and the servant almost laughed when they heard this.

Chu Qianchen threw the Jiuxu ointment to Qin Yao and said, "Twice a day."

Qin Yao: “…”

Without caring about Qin Yao's reaction, she ran happily to find Gu Jue.

She first took Gu Jue's pulse, then took out a small pastel porcelain bottle and told the servant, "Get some hot water and add one drop."

"Yes, miracle doctor." The servant responded respectfully and carefully took the small pastel porcelain bottle as if he was holding some rare treasure.

Chu Qianchen took out seven or eight small porcelain bottles and some miscellaneous small things from the medicine box and pushed them towards Gu Jue one by one.

"Your Highness, take two pills at a time, three times a day. This is enough for a month."

"This sachet has the effect of repelling mosquitoes, insects, rats and ants."

"If you get a heat stroke, drink what's in this black porcelain bottle. I've made a note on the bottle."

"And this..."

Chu Qianchen gave Gu Jue detailed instructions, his expression so serious and focused.

Qin Yao was no longer surprised by her differential treatment and was leisurely eating the cut watermelon with a toothpick.

The servant brought back a cup of freshly brewed hot water, which emitted a faint fragrance along with the hot white steam.

Gu Jue sniffed it, took a sip, and raised his eyebrows, "Rose?"

Chu Qianchen could see that his brows relaxed slightly, and he smiled, with stars in his eyes. "This is rose dew."

Gu Jue was injured. The last time he went out to Nanyang, he was obviously much thinner when he came back. This rose dew can not only promote qi and blood circulation, but also harmonize blood and calm the liver, nourish the stomach and relieve depression, which is good for him.

Gu Jue continued to drink the tea with rose water in it, his eyes slightly lowered.

The water pavilion was silent and quiet, with the exception of a faint rose scent and an elegant incense scent.

Chu Qianchen curled his lips in satisfaction and glanced at the incense burner in the corner where green smoke was rising.

This incense was also made by Chu Qianchen herself. She asked Mo Chen and others to light one for Gu Jue every day.

Well, they are all very obedient, and the prince is also very obedient.

Chu Qianchen withdrew his gaze and returned it to Gu Jue, staring at him quietly while he drank tea.

Gu Jue has a handsome appearance, with facial features as deep as if carved by a knife, and a noble and cold temperament. Because he has fought on the battlefield for many years, even if he doesn't say a word, he has a cold aura all over his body.

At this moment, he lowered his eyes slightly, and his long and curled black eyelashes half-covered his narrow and deep eyes, which made him less sharp and looked a lot softer.

When the prince returns from his trip, she can operate on him...

Thinking of this, Chu Qianchen's eyes became brighter. At this time, Gu Jue put down the cup in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Chu Qianchen, and met her phoenix eyes.

The two looked at each other, and Chu Qianchen's smile became even brighter. "Is it delicious?"

The wind blew across the lake and into the house through the window. The shimmering light of the lake was reflected on Chu Qianchen's face, and his eyes were bright and shining.

The breeze blew, rippling the still water of the lake. Ripples appeared on the surface of the lake and spread out in circles.

The corners of Gu Jue's lips curled up, "It tastes good."

"Then I'll make some for you next time." Chu Qianchen was even happier, his face slightly tilted, and he boasted with a smile, "The rose dew I make is different from those sold outside."

"Of course it's different." Gu Jue said with a smile, obviously in a good mood.

These two people were obviously just chatting casually, but inexplicably they exuded a sense of obliviousness to the people around them.

Even the servant who served tea just now noticed that Gu Jue treated Chu Qianchen "differently".

Qin Yao noticed the servant's thoughtful look, pulled his sleeve, and winked at him, meaning, right?

The servant suddenly pushed Qin Yao's wheelchair and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Qin said he was bored, I'll take him out for some fresh air..."

"I..." Qin Yao wanted to say something, but his mouth was covered by someone.

His wheelchair was forcefully pushed out of the water pavilion.

Chu Qianchen didn't care. Qin Yao was completely different from the person in his previous life. Now he was very impetuous and decisive.

Outside the window, lotus leaves and lotus flowers swayed in the wind, and a crystal drop of water rolled back and forth on the green lotus leaves.

This is a very ordinary scene, but in Chu Qianchen's eyes, it is the place she misses and loves the most.

Her body relaxed naturally.

When a person relaxes, he or she becomes tired, and she accidentally yawns a little...

"Are you sleepy?" Gu Jue asked when he saw that the little girl was as sleepy as a cat.

Chu Qianchen was afraid that Gu Jue would send her back to sleep, so she shook her head resolutely and said, "I'm not sleepy."

Her voice was soft and sticky, and the two words she said sounded a bit like she was acting coquettishly.

She immediately changed the subject abruptly: "Your Majesty, the Jurchen bow you gave me is really useful!"

As she spoke, she became excited and recounted how she had defeated Chu Yunyi in Yunting Pavilion that day. Her happy little face almost said, "Isn't she awesome!"

Gu Jue complimented her, "You are very talented in archery."

She has only been learning archery for a short time, and to reach her current level of accomplishment requires not only repeated practice but also talent.

This girl is not only talented, but also a calm person.

"I think so too," Chu Qianchen smiled beautifully and accepted it without any modesty, "I am very diligent and practice archery every day."

She picked up a piece of water chestnut flour cake nearby, took the first bite, and tasted it, with the corners of her lips curled up.

This is the work of Tian Ji, the chef of the palace. Moreover, he also used three-tenths less sugar to suit the taste of the prince.

The familiar taste made her extremely happy. She looked so satisfied as if she was eating some delicacies from land and sea. Even Gu Jue was infected by her and couldn't help but eat a piece as well.

While eating, Gu Jue looked at the girl's smiling face, and suddenly remembered that Yun Zhan had said regretfully a few days ago that it was a pity that Chu Qianchen was born in the Yongding Marquis Mansion.

With Chu Qianchen's extraordinary talent, he could have shined brightly, and didn't need to live in such a quagmire in the Marquis' Mansion...

Once upon a time, Gu Jue had this feeling, but as he interacted with Chu Qianchen again and again, his thoughts gradually changed: For Chu Qianchen, this kind of regret was unnecessary.

Regret is a kind of pity from a high position.

She is fine, so she doesn't need anyone's sympathy.

Seeing that Gu Jue was still looking at her, Chu Qianchen raised her hand and touched her cheek, thinking that there were pastry residues on her face.

Gu Jue naturally took this scene into his eyes and smiled softly, "If you like it, I'll have someone prepare two plates for you to take back."

Chu Qianchen's eyes lit up and he nodded hurriedly.

So, when Chu Qianchen left Prince Chen's Mansion, he had a food box containing water chestnut flour cake in his hand.

That night, Gu Jue and Qin Yao quietly left the capital without disturbing anyone.

Of course Chu Qianchen knew about it, and he suddenly became listless and had no energy at all. Except for going to Prince Chen's Mansion as a genius doctor every three days, he was idle the rest of the time.

Every day, she hid in the house to process the herbs that Gu Jue had found, and found that one of the herbs had never been processed. If this herb was processed well, it could enhance its efficacy and make it easier to use as medicine. This herb was very precious and rare, so she didn't want others to process it, so she simply did it herself, removing the hair, drying it, cutting it, and roasting it...

Seeing that she stayed in the house all day long, Shen asked Chu Yunmu to come to her after class, asking her to help Chu Yunmu with his homework.

As May turns into June, the weather becomes hotter and hotter, and the sun is scorching.

On the second day of June, Chu Qianchen went to Jishidiang again. Unexpectedly, someone was already waiting for her there.

Jialuo was sitting by the window, his eyes slightly lowered, and one hand was slowly twirling the Buddhist beads in his hand.

Even the front hall of the clinic seemed to become solemn and dignified because of his presence, and the people at Jishidiang subconsciously moved more lightly for fear of disturbing him.

There were two followers standing next to Kala, one of whom was Tama.

Chu Qianchen recognized Duomo, his eyes lit up, and his heartbeat quickened: Duomo is back from Hao Country, which means...

Jialuo seemed to hear footsteps, opened his eyes and looked towards Chu Qianchen.

Chu Qianchen walked slowly to him, Jialou made a gesture to Domo and said, "I brought the Seven Star Grass."

When Jialuo raised his hand, Chu Qianchen's eyes swept across his snow-white sleeves, and he was stunned when he saw a few spots of blood on the cuffs.

Duomo came forward holding a box, opened the lid, and let Chu Qianchen inspect the goods.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Although Chu Qianchen had never seen the real Seven-Star Grass, she had seen pictures and descriptions of it in medical books. The Seven-Star Grass has seven stars on each leaf, hence the name. It has a orchid-like scent and a sweet taste.

Chu Qianchen looked at it, smelled it, and smiled.

She was sure that the herb in the box was Seven Star Grass!

"Thank you, Master." Chu Qianchen personally put away the Seven-Star Grass as if it were a treasure and thanked the other party.

Wuhejialou is indeed worthy of his reputation. Just as the prince said, he is a man who honors his promises.

Jialou smiled and said, "Young lady, you are very polite. This is as you should do."

Jialuo's expression and tone make people feel like spring breeze.

His gentle temperament was not at all aggressive, and he made people feel good about him when he talked and laughed. No matter whether it was his followers or the people from Jishidiang, when they met him, their words and actions would subconsciously be respectful.

Chu Qianchen had just obtained the Seven Star Grass and was anxious to go back to make medicine. She was about to say goodbye, but she heard Jialou speak first: "Miss, please stay. I have something else to ask you for help."

Chu Qianchen stopped and said, "Master, please speak."

At this time, a faint and weak voice sounded: "Meow..."

The young man in blue behind Jialuo took two steps forward carrying a bamboo basket. In the basket lay a black cat with four snow-white hooves. It was no more than two months old, curled up in a ball, with a pair of pitiful green eyes.

It called out weakly again: "Meow."

Chu Qianchen's nose moved, and she smelled a faint smell of blood, and her eyes swept over the bloodstains on Jialou's sleeves. She finally knew where it came from.

"Is it injured?" Chu Qianchen asked.

Jialou took the bamboo basket, put it on the table, and explained, "We picked up the cat on the street ahead. Its hind legs were broken by the carriage, and we couldn't tell if it had any other internal injuries."

Chu Qianchen touched the cat's twisted right hind leg and knew what was wrong. He told Amber, "Its leg is broken and needs to be set. Go get ready."

Amber hurried to make preparations, and soon, Ma Fei Powder, candles, water, knives, Jiuxu Paste, etc. were all ready.

"Ma Fei San." As soon as Chu Qianchen stretched out his hand, Amber tacitly handed him the reed tube containing Ma Fei San.

Chu Qianchen held the reed pipe in one hand and tried to pry open the kitten's mouth with the other.

However, the originally pitiful little kitten suddenly stretched out its sharp claws and slapped Chu Qianchen's hand.

A slender, white hand came between Chu Qianchen and the cat as fast as lightning. The back of his hand was scratched by the cat's claws, leaving a thin blood mark.

Jialou didn't care and said, "I'll hold it down."

He handed the Buddhist beads to the boy in blue and held the kitten's limbs with both hands.

"Woo woo..." The little kitten with its belly up in the air made a pitiful cry, shaking like a fallen leaf in the wind and rain.

Chu Qianchen carefully fed the little guy Ma Fei San. The cat was too small, so she didn't dare to feed too much and could only feed it drop by drop into its mouth.

The kitten's cries became softer and softer, and soon it stopped struggling. Only its pair of green eyes were still half open and half closed, looking hazy.

"Scissors." Chu Qianchen took the scissors from Amber and personally cut the long hair around the kitten's injured leg, and wiped off the dried blood and dust on its body with a clean wet cloth.

Her movements were light and careful, her expression focused, and her attention was concentrated on the kitten, as if in her eyes, nothing was more important than this.

Karu watched her every move quietly.

He and Chu Qianchen had only met a few times, but this girl had already left a very deep impression on him, whether it was her superb medical and archery skills, or her calmness when facing the Emperor and the Crown Prince of Da Qi, or her decisiveness when she went to the posthouse to negotiate with him, and now...

Buddha said: All things in the world are spiritual, and everything has cause and effect.

The fact that he met her during this trip to Da Qi might have been a fate.

It was quiet in the front hall.

For Chu Qianchen, treating a cat couldn't be easier. In her previous life, she started her medical studies by treating small animals and minor illnesses of humans.

In just a stick of incense, Chu Qianchen had fixed the broken bones of the little kitten and wrapped it with medicine.

The effect of Ma Fei San has not yet worn off. The kitten is still listless, dizzy, and motionless, as if it has been ravaged.

Chu Qianchen rubbed its head twice before washing his hands and said, "Master, it's not enough to just apply medicine once to its wound. It needs to be healed for ten days or half a month. During this time, its legs can't move. Why don't you give it to me?"

Amber blinked, a little surprised. The girl wanted to keep this cat?

Jialuo's brows moved slightly, his eyes became warmer, and he was also a little surprised.

"Then I'll trouble you, young lady." Jialou smiled and bowed, "It seems that it is destined to be with you."

Chu Qianchen stretched out his finger and scratched the kitten's nose. "Have you named it?"

"No." Jialuo also went to wash his hands. The wound on the back of his hand caused by the cat scratch had not healed yet, and there was a trace of blood in the basin.

Although it was only a minor wound and there was no need to apply ointment, Chu Qianchen thought that the cat was her cat now, and if her cat scratched someone, she would of course be responsible.

Chu Qianchen only needed to glance at her, and Amber understood. She skillfully took out a small porcelain jar with a white background and blue flowers.

Chu Qianchen pointed at the back of Jialou's hand and said, "Apply this ointment twice a day. It will be healed in three days."

Although Jialuo looked very kind, Amber had an inexplicable awe of him. She gave the Perfect Cream to Tama and added, "I will make sure it doesn't leave any scars."

Tama: “…”

It’s no big deal for a grown man to have a scar on the back of his hand or on his face!

Domo glanced at Jialou and accepted the small porcelain jar. The things this girl gave were most likely good things!

Now that the matter was settled, Jialuo took his two followers and left.

When he came out of Jishidiang, he stopped and looked at an alley diagonally opposite.

Tama and the young man in blue also noticed something and looked over with sharp eyes.

The narrow alley seemed empty at first glance.

Tama whispered: "Someone is watching us..."

Jialuo smiled slightly, said nothing, and turned away.

Duo Mo glanced at the alley again and muttered contemptuously: "The Emperor of Da Qi is really petty!"

Just as Jialou and his group had guessed, someone had been secretly watching Jishidiang. The news that Jialou had been to Jishidiang reached the emperor in the palace within a quarter of an hour.

"...Your Majesty, Wuhejialou just went to Jishidi Hall to see the miracle doctor. He stayed in there for nearly half an hour. The Jinyiwei didn't dare to get close, so we don't know what they talked about." Jinyiwei commander Lu Siji reported to the emperor.

The emperor sat behind the imperial desk, his face as gloomy as water. He slowly turned the jade ring on his thumb with one hand, without saying a word.

In the past few days, the Jinyiwei who were keeping an eye on Prince Chen's Palace saw the miracle doctor enter the palace every three days, and each time the miracle doctor took more than an hour to come out of the palace.

The Prince Chen's Mansion has been closed to visitors recently, and Gu Jue hasn't gone out for several days.

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.

The emperor suddenly stood up, strode to the window and looked in the direction of Prince Chen's Palace.

When Gu Jue first returned to Beijing, he had been hiding in the palace and had not come out, and had ignored his own summons. But since mid-April, Gu Jue would occasionally go to some teahouses and restaurants to sit for a while, and had also been to Yuanqing Temple a few times. Later, for Qin Yao's matter, he also went to the court.

Now he suddenly stays indoors again, and the miracle doctor comes to visit him many times. It must be that Gu Jue’s illness has worsened again.

At this time, Lu Siji observed the emperor's words and asked again, "Your Majesty, could it be that Wuhejialou went to see the miracle doctor to find out about the condition of the prince?"

The emperor still said nothing, he thought the same.

A few days ago, Jialou had just been to Prince Chen's Mansion and stayed there for two hours before coming out. What did he talk about with Gu Jue? !

This matter was like a thorn in the emperor's side, and it had been a thorn in his side, making him unable to sleep or eat these days.

The emperor rubbed his tired brows and scolded coldly: "These Hao people really don't know etiquette. They came to Da Qi and actually went to visit Gu Jue first!"

The emperor seemed to have completely forgotten that it was he who did not want to see the Nanhao envoy, and Lu Siji naturally would not remind the emperor of this. He just lowered his head and stood behind the emperor.

The emperor had complicated feelings towards Wuhejialou. He was afraid that Gu Jue and Wuhejialou would collude with each other, and he was also afraid that Wuhejialou would know that Gu Jue was seriously ill and would have some thoughts about it...

There was silence for a moment in the imperial study.

Until the emperor's voice sounded again: "Can you find out the identity of that miracle doctor?"

Lu Siji lowered his head even lower and said, "I still haven't found out. The people in Prince Chen's Mansion are too cunning." They are too arrogant!

"Useless!" The emperor became even angrier, his face livid, thinking that the Jinyiwei were incapable of doing anything. "How do you Jinyiwei do things? You can't even handle such a small matter. Why do I keep you bunch of useless people?"

Lu Siji felt wronged. Even the emperor couldn't do anything to Prince Chen, let alone them. The genius doctor had Prince Chen's support behind him. Even if they sent people to Jishitang to arrest him directly, they would have to see whether Prince Chen's Mansion agreed.

Lu Siji dared not utter a word and could only let the emperor vent his depression.

The emperor felt more and more bored the more he scolded, so after scolding for a while, he drove Lu Siji away.

The emperor was alone in his study, sulking and pacing back and forth in annoyance.

Sometimes he wanted to ask Eunuch Ni to summon him to Wuhejia Tower, but sometimes he changed his mind, thinking that if he summoned him after he met Gu Jue at Wuhejia Tower, people would think that he was afraid of Nan Hao and Gu Jue.

In the meantime, several cabinet ministers also came to ask for an audience with the emperor, but the emperor had no interest in state affairs and sent them all away.

More than an hour later, Eunuch Ni came to ask for instructions in a panic, "Your Majesty..."

"Didn't I say I wouldn't see him?" the emperor interrupted him impatiently, his authority evident without his anger.

Eunuch Ni still gritted his teeth and finished his words: "Master Xuan Jing wants to see you."
