Why.

She sighed silently in her heart. She felt that the prince could actually rely on her a little more.

The next moment, she felt a slight vibration coming from the broad and strong chest of the man behind her, and the vibration became more and more obvious.

Chu Qianchen raised his head again and saw the man's happy smile. The smile was so strong that it overflowed. His narrow eyes were more dazzling and brighter than the starry night sky in midsummer.

Gu Jue's smile is usually restrained, but it is different at this moment. His smile is bright, like a sunny and breezey day.

Chu Qianchen was stunned for a moment. The vibration coming from behind seemed to penetrate the thin layers of clothes and her skin and reach her heart directly. Her heart began to beat wildly out of control.

She suddenly felt a little embarrassed, lowered her little face again, and continued to touch her horse obediently.

For the next period of time, neither of them spoke.

Thirty miles is only half an hour's journey on horseback, and Jueying was carrying two people, but it did not affect its speed at all.

Chu Qianchen knew all the manors in the palace well. When Gu Jue mentioned the manor in the southern suburbs thirty miles away from the capital, she guessed it was Gaoling Manor.

Chu Qianchen didn't have any chance to show off her horsemanship at all. In the end, she was still carried down by Gu Jue when she got off the horse. But this time, she finally had her feet on the ground and felt at ease.

Gu Jue handed Jueying to Jingfeng who was waiting at the entrance of the manor, took Chu Qianchen's medicine box, led her into the manor, and suddenly said, "If there is a chance in the future."

To Jing Feng behind him, this sentence sounded incoherent, but Chu Qianchen was overjoyed. He couldn't help but pull his sleeve and shook it, "Really?"

"Really." Gu Jue put down her cloak hood and tidied her hair a little.

If this is her wish, he will try to rely on her more in the future.

Although this is not an easy task for him.

Chu Qianchen seemed to have taken some magic medicine, and his spirits lifted. When the two walked to the corridor outside the house, he heard Gu Jue say again: "What about you?"

"..." Chu Qianchen was confused. Before he could ask, Tang Yuchu walked out of the house and saluted to the two of them.

Chu Qianchen calmed down and said to Tang Yuchu, "Take me in."

Tang Yuchu walked in front to lead the way for Chu Qianchen.

As soon as he entered the room, Chu Qianchen's nose moved and he smelled a bloody smell. Following the smell, he looked towards the couch against the wall.

There were many Nanhao people gathered inside and outside the house, most of whom were familiar faces.

Chu Qianchen keenly noticed that not only was Domo gone, but at least two faces were missing.

The bloody battles they experienced along the way were probably far from as easy as Gu Jue said.

Seeing Chu Qianchen coming, the Hao people looked at her expectantly as if they had found a life-saving straw.

The familiar young man in blue took two steps forward, clasped his fists and saluted solemnly, and said in standard Da Qi dialect: "Please ask the doctor to save the eldest prince!"

"I will do my best." Chu Qianchen said nothing more and strode to the couch.

There were candles lit in the room, but the flame was not very stable, occasionally swaying and jumping, and the light was sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

Wuhajialou was still wearing a white monk's robe, lying on the couch with his eyes closed, looking haggard and pale. His wide robe was empty and lifeless.

He seemed to be in a perpetual sleep.

After observing, smelling, asking and feeling, Chu Qianchen did not rush to take his pulse. Instead, he first observed his complexion, which was pale with a hint of black.

"Poisoned?" Chu Qianchen turned and asked Gu Jue.

Gu Jue nodded.

Chu Qianchen said again, "I want to take his pulse." The young man in green quickly pulled up Wuhejialou's sleeves, revealing a thin wrist.

Chu Qianchen stretched out his hand to feel his pulse. His small face was calm, except for his eyes which were slightly narrowed.

Wuhejialou was indeed in danger this time. He was poisoned, seriously injured, lost too much blood, and had a fever. The prince should have fed him the life-saving pills he had given him to protect his heart meridian, otherwise the poison would have spread to his heart long ago. If it had been a day or two later, his life would have been in danger.

Chu Qianchen pointed at Jialou's left shoulder and asked, "Apart from the left shoulder, are there any other injuries?"

The monk's robe of Wuhejialou could not hide the traces of bandages under the fabric, and the left shoulder was more bulging than the right shoulder.

Gu Jue said: "The arrow was shot from behind and pierced the shoulder blade. The wound has been roughly treated, but the arrow was poisonous and the wound was difficult to heal and has begun to fester."

Chu Qianchen then ordered the young man in blue to untie the gauze wrapped around the wound on Wuhejialou's left shoulder.

The young man in blue and his companions worked together to untie Wuhajialou's monk robe a little, revealing his left shoulder and entire left arm, and then untied the gauze bandaging the wound. His movements were light and agile, and he did not alarm Jialou at all from beginning to end.

His wound had indeed festered, the edges of the wound were black, bloody and there were signs of suppuration. Through the wound, one could see the white shoulder blade, which was quite horrifying.

But Chu Qianchen didn't even raise his eyebrows, he was not surprised.

The young man in blue gritted his teeth fiercely, his eyes were red like a wild animal, filled with anger, heartache and regret.

The young man in blue used up almost all his strength to control his emotions.

Gu Jue added, "The tip of the arrow was coated with poison. After the arrow was pulled out, a doctor was asked to clean the wound and remove the poison."

The original wound was not actually that big. It was just an arrow that pierced the shoulder blade. But because the tip of the arrow was poisonous, the doctor could only cut off some of the flesh around the wound, so the wound became bigger.

Thanks to timely treatment and the fact that he took Chu Qianchen's life-saving pill, Wuhejialou did not die immediately from the poison.

If there was no poison, the arrow that shot him would not be a big deal and an ordinary doctor could handle it.

Chu Qianchen looked at the wound carefully, and then said: "I'll prescribe a prescription to clear the poison."

So, after settling Jueying, Jingfeng hurriedly served Chu Qianchen pen and ink.

Chu Qianchen missed Amber very much. Ever since Amber took over, she seldom had to write prescriptions herself. After she read out the prescription, Amber would write it, get the medicine, and boil it.

While writing the prescription, Chu Qianchen silently decided to give Amber a big red envelope at the end of the year. By the way, he also wanted to ask Amber if she wanted to stay with her and be her housekeeper after she got married.

This way, she can be a hands-off boss.

Chu Qianchen quickly wrote the prescription and handed it to Jingfeng: "Go get the medicine. The herbs used in the prescription are all common herbs. You should be able to get them at the nearby pharmacy."

It's four o'clock in the morning now, and the pharmacy in the town is definitely not open yet, but if you pay a large sum of money, you can still get your door opened.

Jingfeng carefully put away the prescription and went to do his errand.

Chu Qianchen was not idle either, and said to Gu Jue in a coquettish tone: "My Lord, come and help me."

She opened the medicine box, took out the golden needles, knives, and Jiuxu ointment, and asked someone to prepare a few basins of cooled boiling water. She also sent away the Hao people, including the young man in green, and said, "You can go out."

The young man in blue wanted to say something but stopped himself, wanting to say that he could also help.

Chu Qianchen seemed to see what the boy was thinking and said, "Your Majesty's hands are very steady."

As she spoke, she stuffed a knife into Gu Jue's hand, her tone meaningful.

The medical practitioner must maintain a rational, calm and detached mindset, which is why there is a saying that a doctor should not treat himself. Caring too much will lead to confusion. These people are all Wuhajialou's confidants, and their emotions are bound to fluctuate easily because of him, making it difficult for them to remain calm.

Soon, all the other outsiders were driven out, and Tang Yuchu went to the door to guard it.

The only people left in the room were Chu Qianchen, Gu Jue, and Wuhejialou who was lying unconscious on the couch.

Chu Qianchen said again: "My Lord, you come and clean up the festering wound on him, and I will give him acupuncture and apply medicine."

Before giving Wuhejialou the detoxifying medicine, the ulcerated part on the surface of the wound should be scraped off with a knife, and golden needles should be used to protect the heart meridian and stop the bleeding.

Chu Qianchen raised her head and lowered her chin towards Gu Jue. Her eyes seemed to say that she still knew how to rely on the prince!

Chu Qianchen knew that Gu Jue had fought on the battlefield for many years and he was never one to hide behind. He often charged into battle himself and had been injured countless times. Although he had no medical skills, he could still treat simple injuries.

This girl! Gu Jue laughed and began to heat the blade with candlelight.

Gu Jue used the knife and Chu Qianchen gave the acupuncture. Although it was the first time for the two of them to work together, they had an amazing tacit understanding. Chu Qianchen occasionally used a white cloth to absorb the blood oozing from the wound.

When the two men had roughly treated the wounds, Jingfeng came back with some medicine and asked a few Hao people to boil it.

Chu Qianchen left the young man in blue to take care of Wuhejialou, "Qinglai, don't pull out the golden needles from his body. These golden needles are not only to stop his bleeding, but also to keep him alive, giving him a breath of life."

After Chu Qianchen finished explaining these things, he went out and pulled Gu Jue's sleeve, motioning Gu Jue to come too.

Gu Jue followed Chu Qianchen out. Jing Feng looked at their backs and inexplicably saw a kind of harmony of "the wife singing and the husband following".

As soon as he left the house, Chu Qianchen's hand nimbly reached into Gu Jue's sleeve, pinched his wrist, and took his pulse again.

Gu Jue: “…”

Chu Qianchen wanted to see if Gu Jue was poisoned, even though she had just checked his pulse.

She still remembered that when she met the prince in her previous life, he was already poisoned...

Chu Qianchen half-closed his eyes, his gaze as deep as the abyss.

After a brief moment of daze, Gu Jue guessed what Chu Qianchen was doing, chuckled, and said, "I'm not poisoned."

Chu Qianchen actually knew that he was not poisoned, but he felt uneasy about what happened to him and couldn't help but want to confirm it.

She tilted her head back and stared at Gu Jue with her eyes open, like a cute and fierce little wild cat.

The look in his eyes seemed to be saying, "It's because the prince always disobeys me! 　It's been so cold these past two days..."
