Chu Qianchen personally sharpened Gu Jue's ink, and a faint scent of ink spread in the air.

Gu Jue picked up a small sheep's hair pen, drew another blade on the paper, and said to Chu Qianchen as he draws: "The blade of the knife you drew is good for cutting through skin, muscle, fat, and periosteum, but if it is used to cut blood vessels and stomach...... Heart, I still have to change the ......"

Gu Jue's pen is drawing a triangular blade, the tip of the knife is sharper than the curved blade knife drawn by Chu Qianchen, and the blade is straight.

Chu Qianchen leaned over to look at the knife drawn by Gu Jue, and suddenly became enlightened.

In the past two months, she has spent a lot of time and effort to improve the existing surgical knives, and before she knows it, she has been a little drilled and always wants to design a perfect knife.

It wasn't until this moment that she was broken by Gu Jue's words.

Yes, since one knife is not enough, just add one.

"Lord Wang, thanks to you!" Chu Qianchen said happily, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, and his phoenix eyes like autumn water were overflowing.

She smiled, and her whole person was dazzling, even the peony flowers blooming outside the window were also eclipsed.

Qin Yao looked at them from the chessboard and touched his chin.

It was the first time he had seen Brother Jiu so close to a little girl!

Another "first"!!

Qin Yao couldn't help but wink at Mo Shen, who had been silent beside him, but Mo Shen still looked expressionless and didn't give Qin Yao any response.

This Mo Shen is still so boring. Qin Yao said in his heart, thinking of beckoning the little girl to accompany him to play chess again, but when he looked in the direction of Chu Qianchen again, he found that Chu Qianchen had already gone out with Gu Jue.

Qin Yao: "......"

Chu Qianchen originally wanted to stay for a while, but now that there was a big matter in her heart, she thought about quickly finding a shop to beat the knife out.

It is estimated that this knife will have to be changed two or three times before it can be done!

When these two knives are ready, and the big pills are ready, she will be able to help the prince dig out that deadly hidden danger.

Chu Qianchen's pupils were even brighter, looking at the scorching sun in the sky, eager to try.

In addition to Chu Qianchen, the emperor in the palace was also thinking about Gu Jue.

Jin Yiwei commanded Lu Siji to be in the imperial study at the moment: "Your Majesty, in the morning, Yunzhan's little guy went to Jishitang alone to ask the divine doctor, and it happened that the divine doctor was there, so he followed the little guy to Chenwang's Mansion, and it had been an hour and a half, and the person hadn't come out yet." ”

The emperor's expression froze, and the atmosphere in the room became solemn.

Lu Siji was the emperor's confidant, so he naturally knew that King Chen was the emperor's confidant, so he continued: "That little guy is the one who went to invite Yun Zhan on the grounds that the paralysis of Yun Zhan's right hand has recurred. ”

However, as far as the minister knows, Yun Zhan was cut by Yun Hao's throat last month, and after his injuries stabilized, he went to Jishitang for follow-up treatment by himself...... Moreover, the miracle doctor of Jishitang had never visited the clinic before. ”

"I think that the recurrence of Yun Zhan's old injury is just an excuse to cover people's ears."

Lu Siji was calm on the surface, but he suspected in his heart that the divine doctor was not going to King Chen's Mansion today for Yun Zhan, but for another person. If this matter is indeed strange, then Jinyi Wei has made a great contribution.

The emperor squinted, slowly turned the jade jade wrench on his thumb, and remembered what Xuanjing Daoist said: "His Royal Highness King Chen is seriously ill, I'm afraid he won't live long......"

Could it be that the little guy in Yunzhan this time actually went to Jishitang to ask the divine doctor to visit for Gu Jue, otherwise, why would they deliberately put Renchen Wangfu on purpose!

Bang bang bang!

The emperor couldn't help but beat faster, and said in his heart: Yes, Yun Zhan just has a problem with his hand, and it's not that he can't walk, if it's really just a recurrence of paralysis, there is no need for them to invite that divine doctor to King Chen's mansion.

Since Gu Jue returned to Beijing, except for Ming Xiyang, no outsiders have ever been to King Chen's Mansion.

There is a way, there must be a demon when things are abnormal.

Therefore, Daoist Xuanjing is right, Gu Jue is really seriously ill!

A flash of happiness flashed in the emperor's eyes, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he thought mockingly: This Gu Jue is so sick, and he likes to meddle so much, he actually talked to himself about the conditions.

He is a dignified son of heaven, and he can't even deal with Qin Yao who wants to kill his father!

Thinking of the several confrontations between himself and Gu Jue, the emperor felt a sense of grievance in his heart, and he held his breath in his heart.

The emperor pondered for a moment and asked, "Lu Siji, has the identity of that divine doctor in Jishitang been clarified?" ”

Lu Siji's expression suddenly became very subtle, his head lowered a little, and he didn't dare to look up at the emperor, "Back to the emperor, no." ”

Every time he sent someone to secretly follow the miracle doctor, he was either dumped by her, or he was knocked unconscious.

Lu Siji suspected in his heart that King Chen's people did it, but there was no evidence.

The trouble is that the emperor has just named Jishitang as a national medicine hall, if Jinyiwei goes to Jishitang to get that miracle doctor openly, wouldn't it be tantamount to slapping the emperor in the face?

Lu Siji swallowed his saliva, and added in a dry voice: "I only know that she will go to Jishitang every few days to see someone." ”

The emperor scolded: "You can't do such a trivial matter!" ”

The scenes that happened in Jishitang that day flashed quickly in the emperor's mind, and the emperor's face became even more gloomy, and he was very disgusted with the so-called miracle doctor in Jishitang.

What miracle doctor?! That little girl is just a person who sells her reputation and reputation, if Jia'er hadn't eaten the pill she gave that day, I'm afraid she would have been tossed by her and sickened!

Not only is she famous, but she also doesn't know how to lift up at all.

But anyone who is knowledgeable and interested and has a little eye should take the initiative to surrender to himself, instead of relying on King Chen's martial arts!

Every time he thought that he was forced to issue an order to seal the Jishitang Traditional Chinese Medicine Museum, the emperor felt a sense of grievance in his heart.

Lu Siji hung his head, not daring to refute at all.

At this time, the great eunuch Ni Gonggong came over and served the emperor new tea.

The emperor took a sip of hot tea and ordered: "Continue to keep an eye on the Chenwang Mansion, be sure to keep an eye on it, and if there is any movement, you will immediately go back and forth." ”

As he spoke, the emperor turned his anger into joy. In any case, there is still a harvest today, Gu Jue was really seriously injured as the Xuanjing Dao Leader said. Compared to this matter, the emperor felt that other things were nothing.

Lu Siji saw that the emperor's expression softened again, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took the order: "The emperor can rest assured, even if a fly flies out of the Chenwang Mansion, it will not escape the eyes and ears of the Jinyi Guard." ”

King Chen's serious illness can't be wrong, the question is can the divine doctor of Jishitang cure King Chen?

Lu Siji felt that he had to send more people to King Chen's Mansion.

The emperor continued to instruct: "Jin Yiwei continues to stare at that divine doctor, and he must find out the identity of the divine doctor. ”

The more the emperor spoke, the more excited he became, his eyes were burning and shining, and he said secretly: That miracle doctor is just a person who sells his reputation and reputation, she will definitely not be able to cure Gu Jue...... It's a pity, Gu Jue has no eyes, he has found the wrong person!

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

He felt a little itchy in his throat, and coughed repeatedly, and his face was a little red from coughing.

Father-in-law Ni hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, it's time to serve Jindan." ”

The little eunuch behind him immediately opened a carved box of rosewood, and in the box was a thumb-sized red elixir.

The emperor swallowed the elixir with warm water, and then lowered his eyes.

The eyes look at the nose, the nose looks at the mouth, and the mouth looks at the heart.

Leaning less, he only felt a warm feeling from the dantian all over his body, and his spirit immediately improved.

When he opened his eyes again, the emperor became radiant again, and praised: "Xuanjing Dao Master really lives up to his name, and this Nine Returns Golden Pill is more refined than the previous Wuwei Guan Lord's refining. After I took it, I felt energetic, as if I was ten years younger. ”

Gonggong Ni smiled and complimented the emperor and said: "The spirit of the emperor's dragon horse, the slave looks at the emperor's spirit as if he is back in his early twenties." ”

"The servant heard that Daoist Xuanjing has been in retreat for the emperor this month refining the Nine Folds Pill, and he must have wanted to dedicate it to the emperor on the Wanshou Festival."

The emperor felt more comfortable when he heard this, and said: "Xuanjing Dao Elder said that the effect of this Nine Heavy Pill is even better than that of the Nine Golden Pills, and after refining for seven seven and forty-nine days, you can only get one furnace of nine pills!" ”

Gonggong Ni continued to say the emperor's favorite good words: "Your Majesty, you are the true son of the dragon, this is the blessed fate, and all countries will come to court!" ”

Ni Gonggong was blowing out of the sky, Lu Siji really didn't have the cheekiness to accept this, "all countries come to the court" originally said that every year in the first month of the previous dynasty, there will be four countries to come to Beijing to pay tribute, although all countries are exaggerated, but at most there are more than 300 countries to come to the court.

And the current territory of Daqi is only half of that of the previous dynasty, and the countries that come to pay tribute plus that small clan are only about fifty at most.

In the next two days, more than a dozen or so small clans arrived in the capital one after another, and everywhere in the capital could be seen Hu people with blond hair and blue eyes, or fancy clothes, or skin like carbon black, or strange facial features.

This year is the emperor's 40th birthday, and the capital is particularly lively.

Not only these foreigners from foreign lands, but also the Daqi people who came to the capital from other states to celebrate the emperor's birthday, as well as some caravans from various places. Some of these caravans were there to join in the fun, some wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to do business with foreigners, and some were caravans to help large families buy.

The mansions in the capital are also busy, even busier than during the Chinese New Year, and most of them are preparing for the emperor's birthday.

The same is true of the Marquis of Yongding.

Early in the morning, the Shen family first took Chu Qianhuang and Chu Qianchen to the Jinghong Hall to discuss matters, and then began to teach them how to choose birthday gifts.

"The birthday ceremony must first see whether it is appropriate, the prince has the prince, the courtiers have the courtiers, and the concubines have concubines.

Their Yongding Hou Mansion is only a general one among the nobles in the capital, and if they really want to pick any expensive and ostentatious birthday gifts, they will only make enemies if they steal the limelight of other families, and it will not be good for the Hou Mansion itself.

"The birthday gift can neither be too good nor too bad." If the birthday gift is too bad, it will be an insult to the emperor's identity.

"Secondly, the birthday gift must be in line with the emperor's preferences, and the emperor's taboo must not be violated, for example, the emperor believes, if we have to rush to send him a Buddha statue, it is asking for hardship."

"We don't seek merit in the Yongding Marquis Mansion, but we seek no fault."

Shen Shi earnestly admonished, and then took two copies of the booklet from Mama Chen's birthday ceremony and gave them to the two girls, "Look at what is suitable for birthday gifts." ”

Chu Qianhuang took an account book and flipped it intently, page after page......

Chu Qianchen flipped through another book, unlike Chu Qianhuang, she seemed to be in a mood, turned a few pages, and covered her mouth and yawned a little.

Shen sat aside and wrote down the two birthday gifts she had already chosen.

After about a stick of incense, Chu Qianhuang walked up to Shen with the account book in his hand, "Mother, I've made a choice." ”

Shen directly showed Chu Qianhuang the piece of paper she had just written, and there were only three things written on it.

Chu Qianhuang smiled abruptly, "Mother, I picked five things that I think may be used as birthday gifts, but this is only one thing, that is, this red sandalwood frame is inlaid with tooth and jade. ”

Shen was quite satisfied with his daughter's performance and bowed slightly.

The corner of Chu Qianhuang's eyes couldn't help but look towards Chu Qianchen.

Chu Qianchen covered his mouth and yawned again, and continued to look down with sleepy eyes.

She really didn't have much interest in picking a birthday gift for that dog emperor...... No, don't insult the dog.

Hey, it's still a few months before the prince's birthday!

Chu Qianchen counted his fingers in his heart, and accidentally his mind drifted away again, and his soul flew out of the sky.

Chu Qianhuang quickly glanced at Chu Qianchen again, and quietly picked up the teacup.

At this time, the eldest maid Dongmei came in and curtsied and said, "Eldest lady, the noble concubine has ordered the little father-in-law to pass on a message, so that you can bring the eldest girl and the second girl into the palace tomorrow." ”

Shen bowed slightly, indicating that she knew, and her expression was calm.

Chu Qianhuang's eyes flashed, it was only a short pause, he put down the teacup in his hand again, made a look of wanting to say something, and asked hesitantly: "Mother, the noble concubine Niangniang is in such a hurry to summon us into the palace, will it be for my father's business?" ”

Shen didn't speak, she knew very well in her heart.

Not only for Chu Lingxiao's leg injury, but also for his errand in the Flag Guard, just-

Why did Concubine Chu Guifei take Chu Qianchen by name?

Shen turned his head to look at Chu Qianchen, thoughtfully, Chu Qianchen seemed to be unaware, still casually flipping through the account book, and then listened to Dongmei and then said: "It just so happened that the eldest young master came back and bumped into Yu Xiaogong, and the eldest young master personally sent people out." ”

"Brother Yi is back?!" Chu Qianhuang said happily.

Dongmei bowed her head and said, "The eldest young master will go to Mrs. Tai first, and I will come to greet Mrs. in a while." ”

Chu Qianchen didn't put down the account book, but the speed of flipping through the account book slowed down significantly.

Chu Yunyi is her half-brother, one year younger than her, but they are not close, her impression of him is very vague, and she can hardly remember what he looks like.

I only remember that in the previous life, he entered the Guozijian as a martial artist this year.

Later, she was kicked out of the house, and she hadn't heard about him for years, or rather, she didn't care.

It wasn't until more than ten years later, after Qin Yao entered the capital, that she inadvertently knew that after her mother-in-law passed away, Chu Lingxiao did not marry another wife, but recorded this younger brother in the name of her mother-in-law, and Chu Lingxiao asked him to be named the son of Yongding Hou.

In the middle of his thoughts, the Xiangfei curtain in front of him was casually opened, and a handsome young man of eleven or twelve years old walked in.

The young man was wearing a purple-red moire flower straight jacket, a black embroidered grass pattern brocade belt around his waist, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, red lips and white teeth, his facial features were four or five points similar to Chu Lingxiao, his posture was straight, and his vigorous steps were a little sassy and a little cynical.

He had traveled a long way, and he had not washed himself, and he was covered in dust.

Chu Qianchen looked at Chu Yunyi quietly.

It was the first time they had seen each other since she was reborn.

Even if she saw him again at this moment, she still felt strange, and she only had a subtle emotion in her heart: It turned out that Chu Yunyi was like this.

"Mother." Chu Yunyi saluted the Shen family, and also greeted Chu Qianhuang and Chu Qianchen, "Eldest sister, second sister." ”

Shen said with a smile: "Brother Yi, you have traveled thousands of miles for your grandmother and father this time, and it is also hard. How is the old lady of the Jiang family now? ”

The Shen family has never been angry with their concubines and concubines, and their attitude towards Chu Yunyi is decent, not close, nor indifferent.

Chu Yunyi replied in a regular manner: "Mother, before I set off from Yuzhou to return to Beijing, my uncle and grandfather were already able to stay and walk a few steps. The doctor said that it would be all right after another month. ”

Shen Shi said again: "You have been out for a few months, and the homework of the clan study has been delayed a lot, and the examination of Guozijian will start soon, and during this time, you have to hurry up to make up for your homework." ”

"Mother is relieved. When I was in Jiang's house, I went to Jiang's family to study with a few cousins. Moreover, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and I feel quite rewarding when I go out this time. Chu Yunyi dealt with it decently, and there was a youthful flamboyance between his eyebrows, and his expression was radiant.

Obviously, this trip to Yuzhou is not only not tiring for him, but it is like playing.

Shen also saw that he must be tired after a long journey, so he sent people away with a smile.

"Mother, then I'll quit first." Chu Yunyi actually breathed a sigh of relief, and while saluting, he glanced at Chu Qianhuang who was under him.

Shen Shi sat at the top, and naturally noticed Chu Yunyi's small movements.

She knew that Chu Qianhuang had a good relationship with the next few younger brothers and sisters, and thinking that Chu Yunyi was Chu Qianchen's younger brother, she said again: "Sister Huang, Sister Chen, you haven't seen Brother Yi for a few days, let's go play together." ”

Chu Qianhuang stood up elegantly, greeted Chu Qianchen and said, "Second sister, the account books are not in a hurry to read now, Brother Yi must have brought gifts back from Yuzhou." ”

Chu Qianchen also got up, and the three sisters and brothers left the main courtyard.

Chu Yunyi said to Chu Qianhuang as he walked: "I just came back, and I didn't have time to pack up my things, so I asked them to move all the boxes to my Qingfeng Pavilion." ”

"Eldest sister, I brought you a piano back, and the boss of the piano shop said that the piano was used by the talented woman of this dynasty......"

"Could it be the 'Snowy Night Singing Spring'?" Chu Qianhuang's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise.

Chu Yunyi walked forward with his hands in his hands, raised his chin arrogantly, and said quite smugly: "Not bad." ”

"Brother Yi, your luck is too good!" Chu Qianhuang smiled overjoyed, "Take me to see ......"

As she spoke, she looked at Chu Qianchen, who was three steps behind, and said with a smile: "Brother Yi'er, what did you bring to your second sister?" ”

Chu Yunyi also followed her gaze and looked back at Chu Qianchen, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she had just looked at Chu Qianchen's sister with her eyes at this moment.

"......" Chu Qianchen was pondering whether to go to the blacksmith shop to see the progress of the knives later, and was still a little stunned.

Chu Yunyi did not hide the unhappiness on his face, and asked aggressively: "My aunt has been sick for so long, the second sister doesn't care, since the second sister doesn't even want my aunt, do you want my younger brother?!" ”

He pursed his lips with a sneer, and the young man's face was full of provocation.

As soon as Chu Yunyi returned home, he saw Aunt Jiang's eldest maid Juan'er guarding the Yimen, and Juan'er not only cried about how difficult Aunt Jiang had been recently, but also sued Chu Qianchen by the way.

Only then did Chu Yunyi know that he had only been away from Beijing for a few months, and so many things had happened in the Hou Mansion.

In the past, he just felt that this second sister was weak, but he never thought that she would become so cold-hearted and cold-hearted in order to please her mother-in-law now, and she didn't even care about her mother!

met Chu Yunyi's provocative eyes, but Chu Qianchen's eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, and he didn't react at all, not angry, not ashamed, not sad, and not shocked, as if Chu Yunyi was just an inconsequential stranger.

She nodded and said, "You're right." ”

"In that case, I won't accompany you."

Chu Qianchen turned around and left without looking back.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, the meaning of these two sentences was very clear, that is, as Chu Yunyi wished, she would not want him as a younger brother in the future.

Whether it was Chu Yunyi or Chu Qianhuang, they didn't expect Chu Qianchen to react like this, and they were all stunned.

Chu Yunyi felt as if he had been slapped in the face, and his face turned blue in an instant.

"Don't go!" Chu Yunyi strode forward, wanting to grab Chu Qianchen's wrist, and shot quickly......

However, Chu Qianchen's back seemed to have eyes, and his backhand clasped the acupoint on Chu Yunyi's wrist.

The prince said that the girl's strength is small, and she is not as good as a man by nature, but she also has the skill to use, or to use her strength to fight, or to attack its vital points, which is enough to overturn a man who has learned martial arts to the ground.

As a result, Chu Yunyi's arm was numb for a while, and before he had time to react more, he only felt that his arm was tight, and then the sky was spinning for a while, and the whole person was overturned, and he fell to the ground in embarrassment, falling to the sky on all fours.

Chu Qianhuang exclaimed: "Brother Yi! ”

Chu Qianchen let go of Chu Yunyi's arm, took two steps back, looked down at Chu Yunyi lying on the ground condescendingly, and said lightly: "No one has taught you, can't you do it to a woman?" ”

The prince had taught her a few hands to defend herself, but in her previous life, she actually didn't have much chance to use it.

"Today I taught you as my sister!"

Chu Qianchen said as he stroked the dress on his body casually, the clouds were light and the wind was light and careless.

Chu Yunyi, who was still lying on the ground, was already stunned, and the pain of landing reminded him that this was not a dream, he was really overturned by his weak second sister?!

Chu Qianchen smiled and said, "You can't do it to a woman next time, the person standing in front of you won't always be a little white rabbit." ”
