Yu Tanqi said this with a smile, only she knew how bitter the medicine was.
Xu Mubai suddenly said, "The prince has also been obsessed with medicine since he was young, so he has read many medical books with me."
Yu Tanqi looked at him.
The man has white hair and a youthful face, dressed in plain clothes, and has an upright posture. Standing among the grass, he looks like a banished immortal living in seclusion in the mountains.
His eyes were lost in memories.
"The prince lost his mother when he was born. His first wet nurse was poisoned. Her milk was not enough and was toxic. The prince was nearly poisoned to death while still in his infancy. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to survive."
Yu Tanqi pursed her lips slightly. She had seen these words in a book, but only when she heard them with her own ears could she feel the real shock.
"When the prince was young, almost everything he touched was poisonous. These poisons made it difficult for him to eat, and he often had coughs and fevers. He became pitifully thin. At the age of six, he looked like a child of four or five."
"Later, when he grew up a little and learned to read, he took the initiative to ask to read medical books. He carefully avoided poisons, and his health improved. Now he can ride a horse and shoot arrows like his peers."
Yu Tanqi recalled the scene on the Flower Festival when Jiang Shi rode his horse to the gate of the Xie family in Chenjun. His bright clothes and vigorous horse amazed everyone in Chenjun.
If Marquis Wu'an and his wife had not passed away, Jiang Shi would have lived a carefree life and would have been a handsome young man praised by everyone in the capital, instead of being as cautious, forbearing and dormant as he is now, and being despised by everyone.
Xu Mubai glanced at Xie Jing, but because he was there, he didn't say some things directly.
He looked at Yu Tanqi carefully. He had known about his betrothed to Jiang Shi for a long time. He had also met her parents. They were a loving couple praised by everyone. It was a pity that she died young.
When Yu Tanqi's mother Xie Lin was still alive, she once came to Wu'an Marquis Mansion to see Jiang Shi.
However, she was in poor health and could not travel, so she only met Jiang Shi twice.
Her love for Jiang Shi did not seem fake, and she even thought about taking Jiang Shi back to the Yu family to raise him.
But Jiang Shi is the child of Jiang Chu and Lan Luozhu after all. The emperor values him and his health is not good, so she cannot take him away.
Xu Mubai had a good impression of Xie Lin and her husband Yu Shangheng. Now when he saw their daughter, although she was a little weak, he could see that she was a kind and well-behaved girl.
She is worthy of being the daughter-in-law chosen by Luozhu herself.
Thinking of that heroic woman, a trace of pain flashed across Xu Mubai's eyes.
Luozhu has always had good taste.
He clenched his fists tightly, controlling his inner emotions, and his expression became more indifferent.
After a while, he said to Yu Tanqi, "If you are interested in medicine, you can come here when you have time to learn more about herbs."
Yu Tanqi nodded quickly: "Okay, thank you Doctor Xu for your willingness to teach me."
She really wanted to learn the traditional Chinese medicine skills of observation, auscultation, questioning, palpation and taking the pulse.
Doctor Xu is very good. Learning medical skills from him is like having an extra life-saving skill.
After all, poisons in ancient times were terrible and widely used.
Although Yu Tanqi left Chenjun, he did not relax his vigilance.
The male protagonist is not very safe around her, and those who want to kill him may not let her go.
Yu Tanqi sighed silently, working hard to live a good life every day.
The medicine is so bitter, just like her life.
Maybe when she no longer needs to take medicine, her life will be better.
Yu Tanqi silently prayed that this day would come soon.
…
At the gate of Wu'an Marquis Mansion, the Jiang family made harsh remarks before leaving in disgrace.
"The owner of the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion is surnamed Jiang after all. Soon, you slave dogs will have to respectfully let us in!"
Butler Ying did not comment. When he turned around to return home, he heard the voice of a young man.
"Excuse me."
When Butler Ying saw two handsome young men walking towards him, his eyes flashed slightly.
The young man in blue bowed and said, "My name is Chi Li, from Chen County. I'm a close friend of Miss Yu and Master Xie from the Marquis' Mansion. I'm concerned about their current situation, so I've come uninvited today. I hope the housekeeper will forgive me. Could you please go in and announce it?"
Butler Ying quickly returned the greeting: "Mr. Chi, you are too polite. Please wait a moment, gentlemen. I will go in and inform you."
"Thank you very much."
Chi Li looked at Butler Ying's departing back with a worried look on his face.
Su Ji looked at the direction where the Jiang family left and said, "The relatives of Prince Jiang are really scary. They all look like they want to eat people. Fortunately, the housekeeper didn't let them in, otherwise how could Miss Yu and A Jing deal with them?"
When they arrived, they heard people talking about the farce at the gate of Wu'an Marquis' Mansion. From their words, they roughly guessed what the Jiang family said at the gate of the mansion, and not a single word was good.
Chi Li was absent-minded and didn't say anything.
Su Ji turned to look at him: "Even if you met Yu Tanqi today, what can you say?"
Su Ji knew that Chi Li had expressed his feelings to Yu Tanqi at Chenjun that day, and he also knew that he was rejected completely.
Considering that they grew up together, Su Ji advised him to let it go, but he refused to listen.
Chi Li had been deliberately drunk by him these past few days, but he still kept calling her "Sister Tan Qi". He was so infatuated that Su Ji could only sigh helplessly.
"Even if Prince Jiang is really convicted and imprisoned this time, Yu Tanqi will not choose you." Su Ji said with hints.
Chi Li frowned and looked at him unhappily: "How can you be sure that Sister Tan Qi won't choose me?"
Because of your cousin Jiang Xuan.
Su Ji sighed, but still didn't say it at this time, for fear of discouraging Chi Li and affecting his palace examination.
"She's already rejected you once, hasn't she?"
"That's because she kept her promise and decided that Prince Jiang was her fiancée."
If Prince Jiang were convicted and imprisoned, even if Yu Tanqi insisted, the Xie family would never let her die with him.
Chi Li's breathing became slightly rapid.
He knew that his thoughts were not good, but he couldn't help but wonder, if Yu Tanqi knew that Jiang Shi was such a terrible person, would he still firmly choose him?
The young man in blue lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes covering his pupils.
He just didn't give up and wanted to fight for it again.
He obviously knew Yu Tanqi first, so why could Jiang Shi be chosen so easily and firmly by her just because they had an arranged marriage?
Seeing that Chi Li was still stubborn, Su Ji sighed and suddenly felt that, to some extent, Chi Li and Jiang Xuan were actually the same kind of people.
Jiang Xuan knew that Chi Li liked Yu Tanqi, and he was almost crazy about trying to imitate her dressing style. He was even so sick that he wanted to kill her and take her place.
Chi Liming knew that Yu Tanqi had a fiancé and had rejected him, but he still refused to let go, thinking that if Jiang Shi was gone, Yu Tanqi would choose him.
But during the years when Jiang Shi didn't appear, Yu Tanqi didn't choose him. How could he have the possibility of choosing him after Jiang Shi appeared?
Su Ji shook his head and waved the fan again. He was wearing a purple dress and a piece of white jade on his waist, looking romantic and unrestrained.
The love affairs between men and women are really a headache.
Fortunately, he doesn't have a girl he likes.
