He is his brother-in-law, so the second brother-in-law should at least try to please him, right?

However, the tail end of Chu Yunmu's voice was shattered by a slap from Chu Qianchen.

"Don't make trouble." Chu Qianchen patted his head gently, "You are still too young."

Chu Yunmu was not convinced and pouted, “I’m already five and a half years old!”

Chu Yunmu looked at his brother-in-law hopefully, his phoenix eyes, similar to Chu Qianchen's, were incredibly bright.

He thought of something and quickly took an empty teacup from the side. He also imitated Chu Yunyi and poured tea for Gu Jue, then forced the tea into Gu Jue's hand almost as if forcing someone to buy something.

Gu Jue glanced at Chu Qianchen with a smile, and his eyes seemed to say, look, I've already taken the tea.

"Next time you have a day off, I'll take you there to play." Gu Jue said with a smile.

Chu Yunmu was still so young, so Gu Jue naturally couldn't let him live in the military camp for a long time like Chu Yunyi. At most, he could take him to the military camp to see the world.

Chu Yunmu was always easy to coax, and he was very happy. He shouted happily: "Second brother-in-law, then we have a deal."

He almost stretched out his little finger and wanted to make a pinky promise with Gu Jue, but he felt that was too childish. After all, he was already five and a half years old! Gu Jue said so, and Chu Qianchen certainly wouldn't object. It was only one day anyway, and the military camp was a good place.

Since Chu Yunmu plans to join the military, he should see how hard life is. If he can't bear the hardship, he might as well give up quickly. After all, there is more than one path in life.

Chu Yunmu certainly didn't know what his sister was thinking. He was so happy that he almost floated in the air. He pulled Chu Yunyi to sit down and told him earnestly: "Brother, you must not lose this afternoon!"

He held onto Chu Yunyi's sleeve and wouldn't let go, muttering non-stop, "Mom always told me that no one is perfect, and we should learn from each other's strengths to make up for our weaknesses."

"Just like when I catch sparrows, I can't be faster than sparrows with just my hands. I put the bait and put the basket together. Hey, hey, I have caught every one of the fifty-six sparrows that often come to the mansion, and I have also marked them."

Chu Yunmu said some ambiguous words, which made Chu Qianchen laugh. She also knew that Chu Yunmu often caught sparrows in the Marquis' Mansion, but she didn't know that he actually killed all those sparrows.

As Chu Yunyi listened, he was led astray by Chu Yunmu.

At first, he thought the little brat was annoying, but gradually, he felt that what his fourth brother said made sense.

A little guy was chattering, and Chu Yunyi listened silently.

After a while, the waiter brought out a variety of hot dishes.

The three siblings stayed in the restaurant for an hour before coming out. When Chu Yunyi came, he had his head down and looked unhappy; when he left, he was in high spirits and eager to try.

On the contrary, Chu Yunmu was not very happy. After all, he had no chance to take out his heavy silver ingot. He could only mutter repeatedly that he must treat them next time.

The little guy's nagging didn't stop until the martial arts test began in the afternoon, and he started cheering for Chu Yunyi.

Afraid that he would shout himself hoarse again, Chu Qianchen would stuff a throat lozenge into his mouth from time to time.

Chu Yunyi seemed to be assisted by God. He won consecutive victories, reversed the disadvantage in the morning, and took the first place in the martial arts test.

The next day, he performed exceptionally well in the written examination, and finally won the first place in the martial arts examination and was admitted to the Imperial College.

After receiving the good news, the lady was ecstatic and felt that the rise of the Chu family was just around the corner. She wanted to hold a big banquet to celebrate, but she didn't wait for Chu Yunyi to come back.

Both brothers Chu Yunyi and Chu Yunmu were taken to Xuanjia Camp by Gu Jue.

For this pair of brothers who had never been to a military camp, this place was extremely new. Chu Yunyi could still keep his composure, but Chu Yunmu kept chattering like a sparrow. Xue Fengyan, who was accompanying them, patiently answered the little guy's questions.

Chu Yunyi seemed nonchalant, but he was actually listening with his ears perked up.

They spent nearly an hour walking around the camp and watched the training of the Black Armor Army. Near dusk, Gu Jue brought the excited Chu Yunmu back to the capital and dropped him off at the gate of Duke Mu's Mansion. As for Chu Yunyi, he was left in the barracks.

When Gu Jue returned to the palace, the sky was already dim and the sun was about to set completely.

The temperature in the summer evening is just right, and the gentle evening breeze blows towards you, making it exceptionally quiet.

Gu Jue entered Chu Qianchen's small study alone. There were several rows of bookshelves in the room, with all kinds of books neatly placed. There was a desk by the south window, with the four treasures of the study and a tank of goldfish on it. There was also a large floor-standing blue-and-white porcelain tank with several scrolls of calligraphy and paintings...

The room was clean and tidy, and the scent of books, ink, and incense filled the air, with a faint smell of medicine.

In the past, he didn't like the smell of medicine at all, but now he looks forward to it.

In the small study, the light was dim, with only a few last rays of sunset shining into the room through the window. A young girl in a lilac-colored gown was lying quietly on the beauty couch, her black hair casually tied up with a ribbon of the same color.

She closed her eyes, her thick and long eyelashes cast a light shadow under her eye sockets, and she seemed to be asleep.

He walked lightly towards the beauty bed, wanting to cover her with a thin blanket.

Chu Qianchen on the couch muttered softly, his brows knitted tightly, and his fists clenched tightly, as if he was having a nightmare...

Gu Jue walked to the beauty's bed, leaned over slightly, and wanted to call her name. At this moment, there was a rustling sound suddenly coming from outside the window, like the wings of some bird brushing against the branches.

The next moment, the girl on the beauty bed suddenly opened her eyes, her pair of phoenix eyes were cold and clear, shooting towards Gu Jue like an ice arrow.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, she was like a fully drawn bowstring, with a cold look in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, indifferent and deep.

The two looked at each other.

Gu Jue raised his sword-like eyebrows.

"Your Highness..." Chu Qianchen blinked.

As she shouted this, her temperament changed drastically.

The corners of her rosy lips and phoenix eyes curved slightly, and a tender smile appeared between her eyebrows, as if a spring breeze was blowing across the frozen lake, warming the air and melting the ice and snow.

Gu Jue sat down beside the beauty couch, looked at her and asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"

"Yeah." Chu Qianchen nodded, sitting up from the couch, holding Gu Jue's hand, feeling his body temperature, "But it's okay."

Yes, it's okay now.

She was reborn, back to when the prince was still alive, back to when it was not too late.

Her loosely tied hair came loose because the hairband slipped off, and her black hair flowed down like a waterfall. Her snow-white cheeks were flushed with a peach-like blush, and her eyes were wet, looking sleepy.

It was like a ferocious little animal suddenly became as harmless as a deer.

Gu Jue put his fist to his lips, let out a faint laugh, and rubbed her head, "It's okay."

On the desk, the two water lilies in the blue and white porcelain fish tank were swaying with the waves, and the water ripples silently.

Chu Qianchen still held Gu Jue's hand, and after a moment, his mood gradually calmed down.

Her fingers slid down his wrist, feeling his pulse as usual, concentrating and calming her mind.

There are only two Dazao pills left.

Since taking the Dazao Pills, Gu Jue's condition has obviously improved step by step, both in terms of what is visible to the naked eye and in terms of the chronic illness hidden in the body.

After finishing the remaining Dazao Pills, she would have to change to another warming and nourishing prescription.

Chu Qianchen had thought about how to treat Gu Jue countless times in her previous life and had written at least a dozen notebooks. She didn't have access to them in her previous life, but now she can finally do it.

Chu Qianchen opened his bright eyes and stared at Gu Jue with burning gaze.

As soon as Gu Jue saw her expression, he knew that she was worrying about her injury again, so he asked, "Are you hungry?"

As he spoke, he took out a box of snacks. On the bright red box was written the three big words "Baiweiju".

Chu Qianchen's nose twitched, and he pursed his lips and smiled, his smile was sweet and charming.

"The lotus cake from Baiweiju?"

Baiweiju releases new dim sum every quarter: peach blossom cake in spring, lotus cake and lotus root cake in summer... She and the prince both like to eat Baiweiju's dim sum.

After the box was opened, eight square lotus cakes were revealed, hot and fragrant.

Chu Qianchen smiled contentedly, picked up a piece of lotus cake, and before she took a bite, she suddenly remembered that something was missing. She touched it and found that the left side was already cold. She looked around for a while, "My Lord, where is Yueying?"

Gu Jue shook his head. He didn’t see her black cat when he entered the room.

“Meow!”

A soft cat's meow came from outside the window, as if responding to Chu Qianchen.

A fluffy black ball easily jumped onto the windowsill, then flew over Chu Qianchen's desk, kicked its hind legs, and kicked the pen washer behind it.

The next moment, the brush washer fell over and hit the inkstone, which then hit the pen holder with several pens hanging on it. The pen holder also fell over, bringing a paperweight to the ground with it. The water in the brush washer dripped along the desk surface...

案上案下皆是一片狼藉，完美地演绎了何为牵一发而动全身。

小黑猫自己安然地落在了美人榻上，在楚千尘身边蹲下了，仰首看着她。

它似乎全然不知道自己做了什么好事，歪着脑袋，“喵”了一声，仿佛在说，叫它干嘛啊？

“噗嗤！”

楚千尘看着它制造的混乱，先是愣了愣，跟着就忍俊不禁地笑了出来，笑声清脆如铃。

顾玦也忍不住笑了，笑容清浅。

两人明快的笑声中偶尔夹着猫儿疑惑的“喵喵”声，气氛闲适温馨。

不过，楚千尘终究是没吃上荷花糕，这时，琥珀急急地来了，禀道：“王妃，陈嬷嬷来了。”

夕阳都快落下了，眼看着就是宵禁的时间了，陈嬷嬷在这个时候来王府肯定是有急事。

“把人带进来。”楚千尘就把荷花糕放下，赶忙起了身。

小书房里一下子就热闹了起来，琥珀派了小丫鬟去迎陈嬷嬷，自己带着两个小丫鬟进来给楚千尘梳妆。

时间紧迫，琥珀只给楚千尘梳了个简单的纂儿，又往发髻边戴了一朵丁香色的绢花。

楚千尘从小书房来到堂屋时，陈嬷嬷也恰好在玛瑙的引领下赶到了，步履匆匆，满是皱纹的脸上写满了焦急之色。

楚千尘的心又是一沉，心中有种不祥的预感。

陈嬷嬷对着楚千尘福了福，急急道：“二姑奶奶，夫人她病倒了，吐了血，昏迷不醒，奴婢特意过来想请您过去国公府看看。”

楚千尘面色微变，攥紧了手里的帕子。

三朝回门的时候，她趁乱给沈氏诊过脉，并没有大碍，沈氏怎么会突然病成这样！ 顾玦从小书房的方向走了出来，对楚千尘道：“你去吧。”

楚千尘立刻让琥珀去备药箱与马车，以最快的速度离开王府。

顾玦没有陪她同往，那么双眼睛盯着宸王府，但凡他进了穆国公府的门，以皇帝的疑心，保不齐对穆国公也会生了嫌隙。

傍晚的京城分外空旷，沿途炊烟袅袅，楚千尘的朱轮车一路疾行，畅通无阻。

“陈嬷嬷，”马车里的楚千尘定了定神，关切地问道，“母亲的情况怎么样？怎么会突然吐血？”

楚千尘心里也隐约有点想法了，没有再追问。

这一路，车厢里的两人相对无语，只有马车的车轱辘声与马蹄声不绝于耳。

当她们抵达穆国公府时，天色更暗了，夕阳只剩下了最后一抹余晖映在西边的天际。

国公府的人火速地把楚千尘领去了沈氏的院落。

屋子里一片愁云惨雾，下至丫鬟婆子，上至穆国公夫人、楚云沐都是忧心忡忡。

“二姐！”楚云沐朝楚千尘扑了过来，一双凤眼水汪汪、红通通的，“娘她吐血了……你快救救她。”

楚云沐的声音发着颤，小脸煞白，直到看到楚千尘的这一刻，他才算有了主心骨。

国公府派了不少人去京城的各大医馆请名医上门给沈氏诊治，刚才已经来过了两个大夫，说了一通什么“阴分亏损而肝胆有热”、“命垂一线”之类的话，全都不敢治，一个让国公府另请高明，另一个直接让穆国公夫人赶紧准备白事，气得穆国公夫人差点把人给打出去。

楚云沐小跑着把楚千尘拉到了沈氏的榻边。

无错版本在69书吧读！6=9+书_吧首发本小说。

沈氏一动不动地躺在榻上，双眼紧闭，面如金纸，气若游丝，她中衣的领口和前襟有一片鲜红的血渍，红得触目惊心。

就算楚千尘还没给沈氏探脉，也能看得出她病得不轻。

楚千尘眉头紧皱，面如沉水。

上次她给沈氏诊脉时，她虽有气血郁结于心，但只是小病，绝没有这么严重，所以她只是给了陈嬷嬷一个香囊，怎么才几天她的病情就急转直下到了这个地步！

穆国公夫人就坐在窗边的一把圈椅上，拿着一方帕子擦了擦湿润的眼角。

想着长女还不满三十就遭此大劫，穆国公夫人就觉得心如刀割，眼眶中又涌起一股热潮，生怕女儿真的熬不过去。

她怔怔地望着楚千尘与沈氏的方向，眼底暗流汹涌，那眸光比夜色还要深沉。

楚千尘也顾不上给穆国公夫人行礼了，连忙在沈氏的榻边坐下，唤了声“母亲”。

沈氏的眼帘颤了颤，额角的汗液越发密集，干裂的嘴唇间发出痛苦的呻吟声，呼吸极其微弱，仿佛随时会消失似的。

楚千尘把沈氏的手腕从薄被下拉出，动作娴熟地给沈氏诊了脉，神色凝重。

指下的脉象很不好……

见楚千尘不说话，陈嬷嬷和冬梅她们的心都提了起来，生怕楚千尘也判了沈氏死刑。

楚千尘收了手指后，立刻打开药箱，从中摸出了一个银针包。

琥珀默契地在一旁点好了烛火。

楚千尘取出一枚银针以烛火将之烧热，紧接着，第一针就扎向了沈氏头顶的百会穴。

穆国公夫人大惊失色，脱口喊道：“住手！”

百会穴可是大穴，是死穴，岂是随便可以扎的，那是要人命的！ 穆国公夫人快步朝沈氏的榻边走了过来，想阻拦，但是已经晚了，楚千尘手中的那枚银针稳稳地扎进了沈氏的头顶，又细细地捻搓银针数次，才松了手。

楚云沐一把拉住了穆国公夫人，正色道：“外祖母，二姐很厉害的！她一定可以救娘的。”

然而，楚云沐一个五岁的孩子，他说的话听在穆国公夫人耳里，根本就没什么说服力。

穆国公夫人忧心忡忡地看着楚千尘，就见她动作沉稳地给沈氏扎了一针又一针，几乎每针都扎在了足以致命的大穴上，风府穴、命门穴、哑门穴……

穆国公夫人想拦，却又不敢乱动，生怕自己惊扰了楚千尘，反而让她失手。

陈嬷嬷见穆国公夫人着急，也在旁边劝了一句：“您别担心，王妃的医术很高明的。”

穆国公夫人哪里放心得下，生怕被楚千尘这么折腾下去，长女甚至熬不过今晚，等不到太医赶到。

穆国公夫人退了几步，招来了她的大丫鬟，吩咐她赶紧去看看太医来了没有。

对周围的骚动，楚千尘似是浑然不觉，专注地继续施针。

下针的手稳若泰山，而又举重若轻。

许久许久之后，楚千尘终于扎完了最后一针。

这一次，她不是以反复拈针作为收尾，而是在针尾上轻轻地弹了一下。

那根银针随之微微颤动。

下一瞬，扎在沈氏身上的那些银针全都颤动了起来，就仿佛有一股股肉眼看不到的气流在沈氏体内行走一般……

穆国公夫人惊呆了。

她活了半辈子了，又是一品国公夫人，见过的名医数不胜数，太医院的太医也有不少与穆国公有些交情的，恐怕没一个太医能有这样绝妙的针法。

她直直地看着榻上的沈氏，亲眼看着她原本痛苦的表情渐渐地平静了下来，原本死气沉沉的面庞上又燃起了生机。

女儿有救了？！

穆国公夫人欣喜地睁大了眼，再看向楚千尘时，眼神变得更复杂，喜悦有之，惊诧有之，叹服有之，唏嘘有之，纠结更有之。

方才的那一套针法极为耗神，楚千尘的身上也出了一些汗，琥珀赶紧用帕子给她擦拭汗液。

楚云沐的目光一直紧紧地盯着沈氏，一眨不眨。

片刻后，他激动地喊了出来：“二姐，娘的脸色好些了，她是不是没事了？”

沈氏身上的那些银针还在轻颤着，她的脸色没那么死白了，呼吸也平稳了起来，虽然依旧双眼紧闭，还没醒来。

楚千尘再次给沈氏探了脉，眉宇舒展开来，“母亲没大碍了。”

所有人闻言都松了一口气，陈嬷嬷和冬梅都拿袖口擦了擦额角的冷汗。

楚云沐那漂亮的小脸上也有了神采，道：“我就知道二姐一定可以救娘的！”

屋内的气氛一松，一扫之前的愁云惨雾，人人的脸上都又有了笑意。

少顷，那些银针全都停止下来，在沈氏身上静止不动。

楚千尘又给沈氏收了针，拔出来的针每一根都是干干净净，半点血迹也不留，沈氏身上也不见针孔，没有任何不适的症状。

穆国公夫人早已惊得说不出话来，简直叹为观止。

她想到了什么，又赶紧招来了另一个大丫鬟，让她把其他的大夫们全都赏个红封打发了。

与此同时，楚千尘借了笔墨，胸有成竹地开了张方子，让人赶紧去抓药。

这时，有国公府的小丫鬟来禀说，国公爷来了。

男女有别，穆国公也不方便进来，只能在屏风外面等着。

Chu Qianchen stood up and went around the screen with the wife of Duke Mu, leaving only Chu Yunmu, Nanny Chen and the maids to look after Shen.

Duke Mu looked at Chu Qianchen with a complicated look. He had heard from the maid that Chu Qianchen had treated Shen Shi. He cupped his hands and thanked her, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Princess."

Chu Qianchen bowed to Duke Mu generously, "You are too polite, Duke. This is what I should do."

Duke Mu stopped being polite and asked worriedly, "Why did your mother suddenly..."

Chu Qianchen's eyes were deep, "Mother has been depressed for some time, she is suffering from blood deficiency and qi deficiency, she is tired and weak, and she has also been stimulated by something, so she is angry..."

It was obvious that when she returned home, her mother's illness was not so serious, and the sachet she gave her should be able to relieve her symptoms.

Stirred? Duke Mu looked at his wife in confusion. He had gone out early in the morning and did not leave the palace until the palace gate was locked. He did not know what had happened in the Duke's Mansion today.

Madam Mu looked at Chu Qianchen and whispered, "The monk in charge of reception just brought him back to the mansion."

"..." Duke Mu's eyes suddenly widened in shock and confusion, and he looked at his wife questioningly.

Could it be that it was confirmed? He couldn't help but look at Chu Qianchen again, his eyes became darker, and his lips were tightly pursed.

Lady Mu, the Duke of Mu, understood the look in her husband's eyes and just shook her head, indicating with her eyes that it was not convenient to talk here.

Although the wife of Duke Mu was not sure, Duke Mu knew that this matter was at least 70% certain, otherwise why would his daughter be so angry that she vomited blood.

Duke Mu felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart and he couldn't breathe. It was he who ruined his eldest daughter's life.

"mother!"

"Madam!"

Excited shouts from behind the screen broke the silence on this side.

The wife of Duke Mu quickly walked around the screen and went in to see her daughter, and Chu Qianchen also went in.

Shen opened her eyes. Chu Yunmu held one of her hands tightly and said happily, "Mom, you scared me!"

Shen held her son's hand, and her eyes gradually became clear from the confusion she had just felt when she woke up.

She felt that the suffocating feeling that had been pressing on her chest for the past few days had gone away, and she felt as if she had been reborn from the ashes, and her whole body was refreshed.

She opened her mouth slightly, but before she could say anything, she heard a smiling female voice coming from beside the couch: "Mother."

The voice is so familiar and so gentle.

Shen looked up and met a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes.

"Sister Chen..." Shen called softly, his voice a little hoarse.

There was a hint of sadness, powerlessness, and sorrow in Shen's eyes... but more of it was guilt. In an instant, these emotions surged to the peak and then quickly subsided.

She told herself that the girl in front of her was the most important, and couldn't help but call out softly, "Sister Chen."

Chu Qianchen said "hmm" and checked Shen's pulse again. The pulse had improved a little. This stage had been passed, but Shen's body still needed to be adjusted in the future.

"Mother, the medicine will be ready soon. You must take it obediently." Chu Qianchen reminded.

Chu Yunmu immediately said, "Second sister, don't worry, I will keep an eye on mother."

"If mother doesn't obey, I will send someone to tell you!"

Chu Qianchen rubbed Chu Yunmu's head and gave him one word: "Be good."

Shen kept staring at Chu Qianchen's face without blinking.

It was as if something was rolling violently in her eyes and would burst out at any time.
