Liu looked at Aunt Zhang, who looked like she was possessed, and frowned as she asked, "What's wrong?"

Nanny Zhang slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at Liu in the carriage with a complicated expression. She was still a little frightened and stammered, "Second Madam, Princess Hui'an's face... her face is healed!"

Liu frowned slightly when she heard her nonsense.

Nanny Zhang sorted out her thoughts and then reported everything in detail: "Second Madam, I ran into Princess Jing and Princess Hui'an outside Jishitang a few days ago."

"The Princess of the County should have taken the County Lady to Jishidi Hall to seek medical treatment from that miracle doctor. The Princess of the County did not see me, but I saw her and the County Lady. At that time, the County Lady's left face was covered with red scars, like spider webs. It looked scary. Her injuries were much more serious than those of the Third Miss."

"But it's only been five or six days, and I just saw from afar that the scar on the county lady's face has healed completely!"

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Nanny Zhang would not have believed that such a severe scar could have been almost healed in just a few days.

Liu couldn't help but look again in the direction where Shen Wan and her daughter left, but from her current angle, she couldn't see Gu Zhiyan's face at all.

The master and servant both had the same question in their minds: Was Gu Zhiyan's face cured by the miracle doctor in Jishidiang, or did Princess Jingjun find another famous doctor?

Or was it Taoist Xuan Jing who cured Gu Zhiyan?

Thinking of this, Liu's heart felt warm and her eyes lit up.

She came to Yuanqing Temple today to ask Taoist Xuanjing to give her daughter some elixir to heal her face, but she didn't even see him and was sent away by the Taoist priest...

Liu made a prompt decision, got off the carriage, and chased after Shen Wan and her daughter.

Liu was so focused on chasing people that she didn't notice Chu Qianchen and Amber coming out from behind a big tree a few feet away.

"Girl." Amber looked at Chu Qianchen with some hesitation.

Of course she knew that Chu Qianchen was deliberately avoiding Liu. After all, Chu Qianchen covered his face with a veil to hide it from outsiders. If it was Liu, she would probably recognize Chu Qianchen as soon as she saw his phoenix eyes.

"Let's go from the back hill."

As he spoke, Chu Qianchen walked towards the back mountain as if he was familiar with the route, and Amber quickly followed.

Chu Qianchen came here specifically to see Gu Jue. Today was the day for Gu Jue's follow-up visit.

Early in the morning, she first went to Jishiditang, but saw no one. There was only a note left for her, asking her to go to Yuanqing Temple.

Chu Qianchen was not surprised. With Gu Jue's identity, he certainly couldn't go to Jishidiang often, as that would attract too much attention.

Chu Qianchen walked along the path in the back mountain to the back door of Yuanqing Temple. Compared with the front, the back door looked much more desolate, with only a young Taoist priest guarding the door.

"My dear believer," the young Taoist priest bowed to Chu Qianchen, "The back door of our temple does not welcome guests. Please go to the front."

The young Taoist priest thought that Chu Qianchen was also here to ask to see Taoist Xuan Jing, and that what he said was also a tactful refusal. He couldn't open a back door here!

Chu Qianchen smiled generously and said, "The flowers of April are gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom. I heard that there is a three-color peach forest in your temple. I want to go to the peach forest to drink tea and appreciate the flowers."

The young Taoist heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the other party was not here to see Taoist Master Xuan Jing.

Nine out of ten people who have come to their Yuanqing Temple recently are here to see Taoist Priest Xuanjing. Most of them are high-ranking officials, and among them there are also some arrogant and domineering people, whose eyes are almost on top of their heads. Their small Taoist temple cannot afford to offend any of them, so they can only put on a smiling face. Even the good job of entertaining guests on weekdays has become difficult, so the little Taoist priest would volunteer to guard the back door.

The Taoist priest smiled a little more friendly and pointed in a direction to Chu Qianchen. "Good believer, I will let you in quietly. After you enter the door, just walk west along the path. The peach forest is not far away."

The master and his servant entered Yuanqing Temple through the back door, and then followed the Taoist priest's instructions, walking west along a bluestone path. After they passed a bamboo forest, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

Beside the pond in front, there is a tricolor peach forest. The branches are full of frost-white, pink and crimson peach blossoms. The sky is full of clouds and mist. When the wind blows, countless petals fall like rain, and the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating.

At the other end of the peach forest there is a pavilion, built beside the pond, which is perfect for viewing flowers.

Gu Jue, dressed in a tea-white Taoist robe, was sitting in the pavilion. Next to him was a small red clay stove with water boiling on it. White steam was rising from the mouth of the pot, adding a bit of ethereal air to the place.

Chu Qianchen stared at the person in the pavilion in a daze. He felt that this scene was familiar yet strange. For a moment, he seemed to have returned to his previous life.

She suppressed the excitement in her heart and walked towards the peach forest as if nothing had happened.

Amber followed, but saw Mo Chen, who was guarding the entrance to the peach forest, stretched out his long arm and stopped her outside the forest.

Mo Chen looked at Amber coldly, his eyes as cold as lightning.

Amber's heart trembled, her limbs felt cold, and she dared not move forward.

She felt that she would definitely be frozen to death if she stayed with this piece of ice that had existed for thousands of years, so she silently took a step to the side, and then another step back.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Chu Qianchen quickly walked out of the pavilion.

Of course, Gu Jue also noticed her arrival. He looked up at her, smiled slightly, and revealed Chu Qianchen's identity in one sentence: "Second Miss Chu."

He looked lazy and comfortable, with a faint smile, and there was a bit of scrutiny and assessment in his eyes as he looked at Chu Qianchen.

There seemed to be many mysteries hidden in this 13-year-old girl. These days, Xue Fengyan has investigated a lot about her, wishing to find out her ancestors, but he couldn't find out who her teacher was. The only possibility was that she met some god when she was sent to Zhuangzi to recuperate last year.

Chu Qianchen just smiled, neither denying nor dodging at all, looking calmly into Gu Jue's eyes.

Her identity was not a secret that could not be revealed, especially to him.

Gu Jue looked into her eyes and confirmed it.

That day, she indeed discovered that Xue Fengyan was following her.

interesting.

"Please take a seat, young lady." Gu Jue stretched out his hand and motioned for her to sit down.

Chu Qianchen sat down obediently on the stone bench on his left and placed the red lacquered carved wooden box she brought on another stone bench.

She moved her slender fingers. In fact, she wanted to pull his sleeve like she did in her previous life, but she held back and looked into his eyes and asked, "Prince, have you been feeling better recently?"

Even though the veil covered most of her face, it couldn't hide the smile between her eyebrows. Her black and white eyes didn't blink, as if saying: Come on, praise me.

The two of them were only two feet apart. When the wind blew, the faint, almost imperceptible plum fragrance from her body was blown over. It was the same scent as the sachet he had placed on the desk.

It is more subtle and elegant than the scent of the surrounding peach blossoms.
