Chapter 660: Dancing Princess vs. East Factory Admiral 20
Quan Jiu's smile froze on her face. She pulled off her handkerchief and raised her eyes, just in time to see a bronze mirror hanging opposite. The girl in the mirror had heavy makeup on and a dark yellow face, which was indeed not beautiful at all.
Quan Jiu: "..."
So she just flirted with Chen Lang in this awful state? !
Putting herself in Shen Lang's perspective, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
"Thanks for the portrait."
Decisively change the subject.
Chen Lang calmly took back the handkerchief:
"I should be the one to say thank you. If you hadn't rescued the Northern Qi delegation in time and sent your maid to inform me, I'm afraid this palace banquet tonight would have become the fuse for the war between Northern Qi and Meng State."
When he realized something was wrong, he sent people out to search everywhere. He happened to meet Cuizhu who was asking for help. According to the route provided by Cuizhu, they met the fleeing assassin again. Only then did they successfully capture the assassin and give Chu Tuo an explanation.
The key questions that Quan Jiuwen has figured out:
"You didn't arrange for people to protect the Northern Qi delegation in advance?"
In her eyes, Shen Lang was not such a careless person.
Shen Lang's eyes darkened slightly: "Someone gave me a fake map of the Northern Qi delegation's route."
According to the wrong route map, the meeting point between Meng State and Northern Qi should be Fengbo Pavilion. He sent people to a location three miles away from Fengbo Pavilion in advance to meet the Northern Qi delegation, and he stayed at Fengbo Pavilion waiting for the delegation. However, there was no news from the people he sent out, and he was afraid that they were in great danger.
Quan Jiu immediately figured out the key to the matter:
"It seems that Chu Tuo has really spent a lot of money to deal with you this time."
The person who could make someone as suspicious as Shen Lang believe in the authenticity of the march map must have a high position in the East Factory and must even be quite trusted by Shen Lang.
Chu Tuo must have spent a lot of effort to plant this chess piece. Now, in order to deal with Chen Lang, he is not afraid to expose the existence of this chess piece. It seems that he is determined to eliminate Chen Lang.
………
After the palace banquet, Quan Jiu instantly became a famous talent in the capital.
Chu Tuo gave her a mansion, and as soon as she moved in, she received many gifts from officials.
Quan Jiu was counting the gifts when he heard the news that Xuanyuan Qinglan was coming to visit.
"What is he doing here?"
Cuizhu: "The Third Prince didn't say anything, and I didn't dare to ask any more questions."
When Quan Jiu arrived at the front hall, he saw Xuanyuan Qinglan sitting upright on a wooden chair in a white robe with black cloud-patterned sleeves and a white ribbon tied around the waist, with a hint of sadness between her brows.
"Dr. Shen."
He stood up to greet him.
Quan Jiu only wore a white jade mask today: "What is the matter, Third Prince?"
Xuanyuan Qinglan: "I'd like to ask you to come for a consultation."
"Who is sick?" Quan Jiu was curious.
"My brother."
………
Xuanyuan Zhuo lay on the bed with his eyes closed, his face flushed and hot, and his whole body covered in cold sweat.
Quan Jiu gave him acupuncture.
"How long has he been like this?"
"Xiao Zhuo started to have a low-grade fever the day after returning from the palace banquet. I called in the imperial physician, but I didn't expect Xiao Zhuo's condition to be out of control. Today, his fever has gotten even worse... cough cough..."
He pressed his thin lips together and coughed heavily twice, his straight body hunched a little.
The servant beside him couldn't help but persuade him with a worried look on his face:
“Your Highness, Dr. Shen is here. You didn’t sleep all night last night, so you should go and get some rest.”
"No problem."
Xuanyuan Qinglan waved her hand, pulled out a white porcelain bottle from her bosom, took out a pill and swallowed it.
Quan Jiu recognized at a glance that this was the pill she gave him. She glanced at it and continued with the acupuncture.
"His problem is not serious. He just has a high fever for too long and is a little dehydrated. After his fever subsides, remember to let him drink plenty of water."
Xuanyuan Qinglan bowed solemnly and said, "Thank you, Divine Doctor Shen."
After Xuanyuan Zhuo's fever subsided, Quan Jiu prescribed some medicine for him. She put away her medicine box and was about to leave, but she didn't expect that a white and tender little hand would grab the hem of her skirt.
"Mother..."
The baby's voice is still weak.
Quan Jiu was stunned and looked down at the little person on the bed. Xuanyuan Zhuo's fair face was dyed crimson, his lips turned white, and he struggled to open his tired eyes a crack.
His dark and shiny pupils stared at her quietly. He held on to the hem of her clothes tightly and spoke again obediently, calling her "Mom" softly.
"Xiao Zhuo, are you awake?"
Xuanyuan Qinglan strode forward, looked at her brother who had woken up in surprise, and reached out to test the temperature of his forehead.
Xuanyuan Zhuo said "hmm", but his eyes were fixed on Quan Jiu, reluctant to move away.
Quan Jiu met his gaze, and a strange feeling rose in her heart. She blinked her eyes and wiped away the strange feeling in her heart.
"Since the Fourth Prince has woken up, I will leave first."
It is normal for a child to look for his mother when he is sick, and she did not take the two calls of "Mom" to heart.
The Fourth Prince did not have a good reputation in Northern Qi, because he had been spoiled since childhood. He never took his servants seriously, acted arrogantly, and would either beat or scold them. At a young age, he looked like a dandy.
Xuanyuan Qinglan: "I'll take you there."
Xuanyuan Zhuo pursed his lips, looked at Quan Jiu who was about to leave, and tugged at her sleeve reluctantly.
"Xiao Zhuo, be obedient." Xuanyuan Qinglan knew that his younger brother was naughty.
Quan Jiu stared at the chubby hand holding the hem of her skirt and raised his eyebrows.
If she had not known in advance about the Fourth Prince's evil deeds, she would have been deceived by his pitiful little angel appearance.
"Doctor Shen is tired after taking care of you for so long. Xiao Zhuo, please let go and let Doctor Shen go back to rest."
Xuanyuan Qinglan spoke again, her tone stronger than before.
Xuanyuan Zhuo let go of his hand, but a trace of grievance appeared on his face.
Xuanyuan Qinglan brought the wine to the door, and the servants brought it on a mahogany tray.
"This is the consultation fee."
Quan Jiu accepted it: "Then I won't be polite."
………
The autumnal equinox passed in the blink of an eye. According to the tradition of the Meng Kingdom, the emperor went to the Foyin Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, asking God to bless the Meng Kingdom with good weather and the people to live and work in peace and contentment.
Quan Jiu has been a big celebrity in the palace recently, and is deeply loved by Chu Tuo and all the empresses. It is no surprise that her name is on the list of people who go to Foyin Temple to pray for blessings this year.
When Quan Jiu saw Xuanyuan Qinglan at the departure site, he was surprised for a moment.
They are the Meng people praying for blessings, what is he, a person from Northern Qi, doing here?
"Xiao Zhuo is bored staying at the post station and wants to go to Foyin Temple."
She was only wearing a mask today. Xuanyuan Qinglan saw the confusion in her eyes and took the initiative to explain.
Xuanyuan Zhuo had been keeping his eyes on Quan Jiu since she appeared.
“Doctor Shen, my royal brother said that you saved me.”
He has a plump face and looks full of energy.
Quan Jiu: “Yeah.”
Milk ball grabbed her hand and said: "You will be my savior from now on. I will definitely treat you well."
Children's words are innocent, Quan Jiu didn't take it to heart, but Naitanzi responded with practical actions.
“Doctor Shen, can I ride in a carriage with you?”
Quan Jiu looked embarrassed. She was from Meng, and if she got too close to the people of Northern Qi, it would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
"Can't."
Just when she hesitated, someone spoke for her.
...dividing line...
