The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 74 074 Smashed

Outside Rongfu Hall, heavy rain poured down, thunder roared, and there was a gloomy atmosphere in the air.

When Mr. Shen left the yard, several lights in the room behind him went out.

Mrs. Shen didn't pay attention and went back to the main courtyard.

As soon as she entered the house, Amber arrived on Chu Qianchen's order and brought her medicinal tea to Mrs. Shen.

"Madam, this is herbal tea prepared by our girl herself. She said that this herbal tea can calm the nerves and calm the mind."

Amber delivered the medicinal tea and left.

Mrs. Shen picked up the tea cup with medicinal tea and smelled the aroma of the tea. The aroma of the medicinal tea was neither strong nor light, just right. Smelling it made people feel refreshed.

Shen took two sips of herbal tea. The hot liquid entered her throat and into her abdomen. She felt warm inside her body. Her heart, which had been dull and painful, began to relax, and her brows relaxed.

Sister Chen is really talented in medical skills far beyond ordinary people.

Grandma Chen had been paying attention to the changes in Shen's expression. She felt complicated and couldn't help but glance in the direction of the small Buddhist hall.

Nanny Chen also felt sorry for Chu Qianhuang and had begged Mrs. Shen on her behalf. Madam Mrs. Cai had also begged her just now, but Madam's mind had been made up and it could not be easily changed by others.

My wife has been stubborn since she was a child. In the past, Mrs. Mu Guogong often said that her stubbornness was the only reason why she was good at everything.

"Madam," Grandma Chen clenched the handkerchief, lowered her eyes, looked at the teacup in Mrs. Shen's hand, and said hesitantly, "Tell me, does today's incident have anything to do with the second girl?"

Mrs. Shen took another sip of herbal tea and pursed her lips.

The orange-yellow medicinal tea glowed in the light, reflecting in Shen's phoenix eyes.

Shen was the legitimate daughter of the duke. She was personally raised by Mrs. Mu Guogong since she was a child. She had never been a fool.

What happened today happened so suddenly that Shen didn't notice it at first, but looking back on the whole thing afterwards, she could see that it was Chu Qianchen's plan.

This round was originally aimed at Chu Qianling.

It was Chu Qianchen's response to Chu Qianling, because Chu Qianling smashed Jishi Hall, and because Chu Qianling provoked Chu Qianchen again and again.

However, Chu Qianchen probably never expected that Chu Qianling's matter would involve Chu Qianhuang.

How could Chu Qianchen think of it? Even she herself did not expect that her daughter Chu Qianhuang would do such a thing...

Thinking about it, Mrs. Shen closed her eyes and put the tea cup aside.

Grandma Chen could see that Mrs. Shen was feeling sad for Chu Qianhuang again, and she felt sad in her heart, so she could only coax Mrs. Shen to go to rest early.

Mrs. Shen was preoccupied and thought she would not be able to sleep tonight, but ended up falling asleep as soon as she closed her eyes and slept until dawn.

Early the next morning, her spirits improved a lot, and she couldn't help but think of the cup of medicinal tea that Chu Qianchen ordered Hu Hui to deliver last night.

This kid has always been caring.

Mrs. Shen sighed in her heart and asked about Chu Qianhuang: "Mother Chen, how is Sister Huang doing?"

With a thought in her mind, Grandma Chen sighed and said, "Madam, you haven't seen it. The eldest girl didn't sleep all night last night. She kept kneeling in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva to reflect on herself."

"Just now, I went to change the dressing on the eldest girl's hand. I saw that the eldest girl is very haggard. Her eye sockets are green and black. I feel very distressed when I see her."

Grandma Chen deliberately made Chu Qianhuang look miserable. In fact, Chu Qianhuang rested in the small Buddhist hall at the first watch of the night last night.

However, Mrs. Shen only nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Grandma Chen was also afraid of going too far, so she didn't want to say more. She thought that she would wait for a suitable opportunity to say a few good words to the eldest girl.

As soon as Shen arrived, she left the main courtyard and went to Rongfu Hall as usual.

Halfway through, Shen met Chu Qianchen in the verandah.

"Mother." Chu Qianchen blessed Shen elegantly and helped her to Rongfu Hall.

Shen knew at a glance that Chu Qianchen had specially waited for her here, and felt warm in her heart.

Neither of them spoke anymore, and they arrived at Rongfu Hall in silence.

But they failed to get in after all, and were stopped by Grandma Wang in the corridor.

"Madam, Second Miss," Grandma Wang said to the two of them politely, "Madam is not feeling well, so I will ask you not to come to pay your respects today. Please go back."

Mrs. Shen smiled slightly and said calmly: "Mother Wang, let mother have a good rest."

She was not annoyed at all and did not bring the matter to the attention of the doctor. She knew very well that the madam was deliberately trying to make her look bad.

Mrs. Shen took Chu Qianchen back directly. On the same day, Mrs. Shen handed the sign to the palace, went to see the queen, and resigned the princess companion for Chu Qianhuang.

The news soon spread to Rongfutang, and the wife became even more angry and smashed everything on the coffee table.

She was angry with Mrs. Shen and also annoyed with Chu Qianchen. She felt that Chu Qianchen was cold-hearted and powerful. She did not care about her own mother when she was sick and only wanted to please her aunt all day long.

Mrs. Shen murmured and scolded Mrs. Shen and Chu Qianchen.

No matter what the fuss was about in Rongfu Hall, it had no impact on Chu Qianchen, and she couldn't hear it anyway.

Chu Qianchen was in an extremely good mood. Tomorrow was April 22nd, which was the day when she would give the prince a follow-up consultation. She had no intention of doing anything else.

The day passed quickly and slowly.

Chu Qianchen slept well again at night. She got up when the rooster crowed and carefully inspected the red lacquered and carved wooden box that she used as a medicine box.

At the beginning of the morning, she came to Yuanqing Temple again, and she was still in the peach forest in the temple, and Amber was stopped outside the peach forest by Mo Chen.

There is one more person in the pavilion today, it is Yunzhan.

However, Chu Qianchen only had Gu Jue in his eyes, and he carefully observed Gu Jue's complexion.

Gu Jue's facial features are deep and distinct, and his temperament is cold and noble. Just sitting there so quietly, he exudes a kind of aloofness that is unmatched by others thousands of miles away. He is graceful and extraordinary.

Seeing that the green shadow in his eye sockets had faded, Chu Qianchen knew that he had had a good rest recently, and he said happily: "My lord, you look much better!" His voice was as smooth and clear as an oriole.

Gu Jue raised his hand in a gesture of invitation, gesturing for her to sit down.

Yun Zhan said eagerly for Gu Jue: "Miss Chu, the prince has been sleeping much better recently." Yun Zhan obviously also knew Chu Qianchen's identity.

Chu Qianchen was startled, and then he noticed that Yun Zhan was also there.

Yunzhan's neck was no longer covered with gauze, and the red scar looked particularly dazzling. His face was slightly pale, but he was in good spirits.

Now that he had met them all, Chu Qianchen took the opportunity to feel his pulse and nodded slightly with satisfaction.

Judging from the pulse condition, Yunzhan is a very obedient patient. He drinks medicine on time and his previous problem of blocked veins has been cured.

"You can stop taking the medicine." Chu Qianchen said calmly.

After saying that, she added like lecturing a child: "Don't hide your medical advice from others."

After all, Yun Zhan's crisis this time could have been avoided. He had discovered the abnormality in his body long ago, but he had not sought medical treatment, which gave Yun Hao an opportunity!

Although Chu Qianchen was obviously several years younger than him, Yun Zhan couldn't put on any airs in front of her. He obediently accepted the training, responded obediently, and also obediently treated Gu Jue and Chu Qianchen. When the person was served tea, he was completely different from the majestic Colonel Yun in front of outsiders.

Hu Huo, who was outside the forest, watched from a distance, admiring his own girl as she calmly drank the tea handed to her by Yun Zhan.

Chu Qianchen took a sip and raised his brows. He felt that Yun Zhan's skill in cooking tea was still a little bad and he didn't control the heat of the boiling water well. The prince has a very tricky mouth...

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Gu Jue ask coldly: "Miss Chu, are you not doing well?"

These days, Xue Feng told more things about Chu Qianchen, which also allowed Gu Jue to understand more about her situation.

Gu Jue looked steadily at the girl in front of him, who was as pale as a chrysanthemum, with a calm and cold expression.

Based on Chu Qianchen's situation, if she were a man, she could make achievements and change her own destiny like Yun Zhan, but she was a woman, raised in a boudoir, and she could still have such magnanimity, which is really impressive.

Chu Qianchen's eyes widened slightly, and his eyes seemed to be filled with stars when looking at Gu Jue.

Even though she knew in her heart that Gu Jue was probably just asking casually, even so, she was still very happy and took this sentence as a sign that Gu Jue cared about her!

So-

Should she pretend to be pitiful, or should she say it was okay and reassure him?

Chu Qianchen was a little confused for a moment and frowned slightly.

Chu Qianchen's face was still covered with a veil, but the subtle changes between her brows fell into Gu Jue's eyes. Gu Jue raised his eyebrows, with a hint of interest in his expression.

Without waiting for Chu Qianchen's answer, Gu Jue changed to the next topic: "We have news about most of the missing medicines in Dazao Wan, but the last one is Qilingcao."

Chu Qianchen: "..."

The villain in Chu Qianchen's heart was so remorseful that it was rare for the prince to care about her. She should have said the last thing. How could she miss this opportunity?

Chu Qianchen said "Oh" somewhat dullly, and pointed to Gu Jue's left hand dully, "Give me your hand!"

Gu Jue placed his left wrist on the stone table.

Chu Qianchen calmed down and felt Gu Jue's pulse attentively.

Yunzhan waited with bated breath.

There was silence in the pavilion. Occasionally, a few peach blossom petals floated into the pavilion with the wind, bringing with them wisps of floral fragrance.

After three or four breaths, Chu Qianchen stopped his hand and said, "I want to change my attitude."

Yun Zhan thought it was good news from Chu Qianchen's tone and breathed a sigh of relief.

He was about to ask if he wanted to prepare pen and ink when he saw Chu Qianchen opening the wooden box he carried with him, taking out a piece of tissue paper and charcoal pen from the box, and quickly wrote a prescription, his pen moving like a dragon on clouds.

Then, she took out ten celadon vials the size of a baby's fist from the wooden box. These are the concoctions that took her a month to prepare.

"Follow this recipe once a day, decoct it twice in the morning and evening. After boiling it into a decoction, mix half a bottle of the concoction into the decoction and take it together. This is for ten days." Chu Qianchen warned carefully. .

Gu Jue looked at the piece of silk paper in his hand. Last time, she wrote the recipe for Dazao Wan in small regular script, but this time she wrote it in running script.

The former is soft and beautiful, graceful and quiet, and it is Mrs. Wei's post. As for the latter...

"What you have is Xie Wenjing's copybook?" Gu Jue asked, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Xie Wenjing was a famous calligrapher in this dynasty. During the reign of the late emperor, he served as chief envoy, official minister, and imperial tutor.

Gu Jue studied with Xie Wenjing when he was young, and his cursive script was also copied from Xie Wenjing's copybook.

Chu Qianchen suddenly became energetic again, his eyes were bright, he nodded and said: "That's right, it's Xie Wenjing's copybook!"

The slight depression in her heart was swept away again, and she knew that the prince would definitely recognize it.

In her previous life, the prince said that her handwriting was soft and soft, so he gave her Xie Wenjing's copybook for her to copy!

Her eyes curved into a pair of crescent moons, her smile was friendly, and she felt as if she had been praised by the prince again.

Yun Zhan looked at Chu Qianchen and then at Gu Jue. For some reason, he felt a little redundant.

Seeing that Chu Qianchen seemed to like Xie Wenjing very much, Gu Jue said smoothly: "I have a painting of Xie Wenjing's calligraphy there. How about giving it to the girl as a medical fee?"

Chu Qianchen's eyes lit up. He was afraid that he would be too late to answer again, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay!"

Chu Qianchen was in a better mood, and the prince gave her another gift! She will definitely keep it well.

Chu Qianchen felt that today was complete, but then she thought of another thing and her expression became solemn. She hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Emperor knows about your injury..."

When Yun Zhan on the side heard this, his expression became serious, and his handsome face showed a fierce spirit.

In the past few days, this incident has been spreading in Beijing.

At first, when they heard this rumor in Jingli, Xue Fengyan's first suspicion was Chu Qianchen.

Because Chu Qianchen is a member of the Chu family, and apart from a few of them, Chu Qianchen is the only one in the capital who knows about the prince's injury, but the prince says otherwise.

Since the prince said no, then it is no.

Not only Yun Zhan and Mo Chen completely believed in Gu Jue, but Xue Fengyan also believed in him.

Another gust of wind blew by, blowing some strands of hair and robes scattered on Gu Jue's shoulders, flying in the air.

"Probably." Gu Jue stared at Chu Qianchen with a calm expression, as if this incident had no impact on him.

Chu Qianchen: "..."

Chu Qianchen couldn't help but feel that this was indeed the case.

The prince is still like that, no matter what happens, he is always calm and calm.

In her previous life, the prince had taught her that when soldiers come, she will be blocked, and when water comes, the earth will cover her up. She must not mess up her position.

Although she knew that the prince could definitely handle it, Chu Qianchen still took out a small black porcelain bottle that had been prepared from his sleeve pocket and pushed it towards Gu Jue.

"My lord, there is a pill in this bottle that can help you not feel any pain for three days and return you to your best condition, but..." She stared deeply into Gu Jue's eyes, "Do not use it except as a last resort. Do you understand?"

Gu Jue also looked at her. His narrow eyes were like a clear lake, reflecting her shadow. There was a shallow ripple in his pupils, which disappeared in a flash.

"Thank you, girl." He picked up the small black porcelain bottle and hid it in his sleeve.

Everything has a price. Since Chu Qianchen told him so, it was obvious that although this medicine could save the moment, it would harm the body.

Chu Qianchen smiled again, his bright eyes curved like bright moonlight and spring water.

As the eyes wander, there is a kind of beauty and youthfulness unique to cardamom girls.

As long as the prince agrees, he will definitely do it!

Chu Qianchen looked at Gu Jue with attachment and was reluctant to leave.

Originally, she wanted to bring the prince some more snacks that he liked to eat today, but she didn't report to her aunt before going out, so she couldn't go out for too long.

Moreover, it was inconvenient for her to stay here for a long time.

Before she cured the prince, she could not let others see her and the prince together, and she could not let her become the prince's loophole.

Very quickly. She said to herself in her heart, stood up slowly, and said goodbye to Gu Jue: "Your Majesty, I'll take my leave first."

"Walk slowly." Gu Jue said softly.

Chu Qianchen picked up her wooden box and left with Amber, walking briskly, thinking: Today the prince not only praised her calligraphy, but also promised to give her a painting of Xie Wenjing's calligraphy!

Before he left, Chu Qianchen was already looking forward to the next meeting and his gifts.

The sun was shining high, and the sunlight was pouring down. The trees were full of beautiful peach blossoms dancing in the wind. The peach blossoms were fragrant, and scattered stamens fell on the ground.

Looking at Chu Qianchen's retreating back, Gu Jue raised his hand and made a gesture, "Go."

Gu Jue only said these two words with unclear meaning, but Yun Zhan already understood what he meant.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the general will handle this matter beautifully."

He raised his chin slightly, smiled loudly, and looked high-spirited, showing the willfulness and publicity of a young man.

Yun Zhan strode away in high spirits.

He had been holding back for long enough during his return to Beijing, and it was time to move his hands and feet.

Yun Zhan greeted Mo Chen who came to the entrance of Taolin, and the two of them left Yuanqing Temple together, rode back to Beijing, and arrived at Songhe Street without stopping.

"Hush!"

The two horses stopped at the gate of Yongdinghou Mansion.

Yun Zhan pointed to the door and said to Mo Chen with a smile: "Mo Chen, are you coming or should I come?"

To this, Mo Chen's reply was to pick up the long bow attached to the horse's side, and at the same time take the arrow, set the arrow, hook the string, and draw the bow...the bow opened like a full moon.

"Whoosh—"

The feathered arrow came out of the string, piercing the air like a meteor, and with a force of thunder, it suddenly hit the plaque of the Yongding Marquis Mansion.

The red lacquer plaque shook for a moment, and then fell from the top of the red lacquer door.

"Boom!"

The plaque fell heavily to the ground, cracking from the point where the arrow hit it, and the plaque broke into two halves.

The huge sound alarmed the people in the Hou Mansion. With a "squeak", the corner door of the Hou Mansion was opened from the inside, and the concierge and several servants walked out of the Hou Mansion.

Seeing the plaque falling on the ground, the servants of the Hou Mansion were shocked.

Immediately afterwards, the pot exploded.

Some people went into the house again to report to the master, some looked at Mo Chen who was holding a long bow, and many passers-by also stopped to watch the excitement, and they all whispered to each other.

The concierge boldly stepped forward and asked Mo Chen and Yun Zhan, "Who are you? How dare you come to the Hou Mansion to cause trouble in broad daylight?!"

Of course, Mo Chen would ignore the concierge. The person in charge of the talk was Yun Zhan: "Hey, I know what it means to only allow state officials to set fires and not allow people to light lamps!"

"What? You people from the Yongding Marquis Mansion are allowed to go to other people's hospitals to cause trouble, but you are not allowed to destroy the plaque of your Yongding Marquis Mansion?!"

The concierge was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered the incident the day before yesterday when the three girls smashed up Ji Shi Tang. In other words, these two people were here to stand up for Ji Shi Tang?

The concierge had met many dignitaries, and he knew at a glance that these two young men dared to come to the Hou Mansion to cause trouble not only because of their youth and arrogance, but also because of their background. The concierge felt that his head was as big as a bucket.

Fortunately, at this time, Yongding Hou Chu Lingxiao arrived in a hurry.

At a glance, he saw the plaque cracked in half on the ground, his anger was high, and his handsome face was sinking like water.

This plaque of the Hou Mansion has been hanging here for a hundred years, but it was smashed by someone in his generation. This is not only a loss of face to the Hou Mansion, but also to his face!

Chu Lingxiao looked at Mo Chen and Yun Zhan with burning eyes, and his eyes fell on the wound on Yun Zhan's neck.

Like a thunderclap across his heart, Chu Lingxiao suddenly knew who the other party was.

Who else would be able to stand up for Jishitang!

"Are you Yunzhan?" Chu Lingxiao's voice came out from between his teeth and he stared at Yunzhan coldly.

"It turns out that the Marquis knows me, that's easy." Yun Zhan casually raised his hand to Chu Lingxiao, and the horse under his crotch shook its head and snorted.

Mo Shen did not speak, but casually pulled the bowstring. The bowstring buzzed and vibrated in the air.

Yun Zhan continued: "Master Hou, I will keep the story short."

"Our prince has already said that Jishi Hall will belong to our Prince Chen's Mansion. If your Yongding Marquis Mansion smashed Jishi Hall, are you looking down on our prince?"

Chu Lingxiao: “…”

Even though Chu Lingxiao despised Chen Wang Gu Jue in his heart, he did not dare to say this.

Yun Zhan came here specifically to bully others today, so he was not polite at all and said arrogantly: "Jishitang saved my life. Whoever dares to smash Jishitang, I will dare to smash this prince's mansion!"

"Today is just a small warning!"

Chu Lingxiao was almost going crazy. At this moment, he wanted to rush to the palace and sue King Chen.

But the problem is, once this matter gets bigger, Chu Qianling's smashing of Jishi Hall will inevitably be mentioned. Then, the Yongding Marquis Mansion will become a joke to the civil and military officials of the court and even the entire capital!

Chu Lingxiao felt unbearable depression in her heart and almost spit out a mouthful of blood. Not only did she hate Gu Jue, she also hated her second wife for not raising her daughter well and causing trouble for the Hou Mansion!

Chu Lingxiao was so angry that he didn't notice that Chu Qianchen was among the passers-by watching.

Chu Qianchen had just arrived, and she purposely stood at the back of the crowd, looking at the gate of the Hou Mansion, which was busier than the vegetable market.

interesting.

Chu Qianchen raised his eyebrows.

She went to Jishi Hall before returning to the Hou Mansion, so she arrived a step later than Yunzhan and Mo Chen, and missed the most exciting scene. When she arrived, the plaque had fallen to the ground.

Although she couldn't see it with her own eyes, the passers-by who were watching nearby were all chattering away. They had already told everything about what happened, making Mo Chen's archery skills so exciting that they were almost as good as the flying general. Li Guang compared it.

Amber naturally heard it too, and was stunned. She couldn't help but pull Chu Qianchen's sleeve, with an expression that seemed to say, where did this fuss come from? !

Chu Qianchen's mood became more cheerful, and he winked at Amber and motioned for her to follow him.

The master and servant went around to the side door and quietly entered the Marquis' Mansion, leaving the hustle and bustle outside behind them.

After entering the Hou Mansion, Chu Qianchen took off his veil. Amber could also see the raised corners of her girl's mouth and felt that she really couldn't understand her at all.

Of course Chu Qianchen was happy. There was a bird flapping its wings happily in his heart, and he couldn't let go of the raised corners of his lips.

She knew that the reason why the prince asked Yun Zhan and Mo Chen to do this was to protect her!

Not many people know that she is the miracle doctor of Jishi Hall, but some people must be suspicious, such as Chu Qianhuang, Liu's mother and daughter...

Today, Yunzhan came with such a big fanfare and smashed the plaque of the Yongding Marquis Mansion. Those people would naturally be relieved of their doubts and would no longer doubt her for the time being.

The prince's actions are always unexpected and effective.

Thinking about it, the pear dimple beside Chu Qianchen's lips deepened.

After all, who would have thought that Yun Zhan would come to his savior's house to cause trouble!

Who would have thought that she didn't care at all about the honor and disgrace of the Yongding Marquis Mansion.

In the past, the only person she cared about in the Chu family was Chu Yunmu, but now she has an additional aunt, Shen.

but…

The smile on Chu Qianchen's lips froze again, thinking of everything the day before, thinking of Chu Qianhuang...

Although she didn't take advantage of Shen, she still deliberately set up the trap. After all, she concealed something from Shen and deceived Shen to a certain extent.

She felt depressed.

Amber saw that her girl was happy for a while and a little depressed for a while. She was confused and couldn't understand her master even more.

The master and servant quickly returned to Wanyan Courtyard.

Seeing that Chu Qianchen was a little tired, Hu Bo made tea for her personally and asked tentatively: "Girl, do you want me to go and find out how the fourth master Yun is doing?"
