The two of them went out from the guest house where Qin Yao was temporarily staying, and walked leisurely towards the side door.

The two walked side by side, Gu Jue was a head taller than Chu Qianchen, and his pace was naturally bigger, so he deliberately cooperated with her to slow down.

Along the way, it was quiet and empty, and I didn't meet anyone, unlike the Yongding Marquis Mansion, where I didn't walk a few steps and met a few people.

This huge palace seems to have few people.

Chu Qianchen's mood was very quiet, and walking with him in King Chen's Mansion made her feel like she was dreaming back to her previous life for a moment.

She pinched herself silently, not knowing how many times she told herself in her heart that it was all true.

At this moment, the birds flying in the air are real, and the smell of turnip incense lingering on the tip of the nose is real......

She casually raised her right hand, palm up, and let a large red petal fall on her palm.

The petals of this pomegranate flower are also real.

Chu Qianchen curled his lips and smiled.

Suddenly, Gu Jue beside her stopped, and happened to meet her smiling eyes.

He lowered his eyes and looked into her eyes and asked, "Miss Chu, have you had anything wrong recently?" ”

Chu Qianchen hadn't slept well for several nights, day and night were reversed, there was a blue and black shadow under his eyes, and he was a little haggard.

Gu Jue had already seen it, so he asked her by sending off the guest.

For Gu Jue, Chu Qianchen has always answered all questions and has nothing to hide.

When he asked, she told Chu Yunmu about his face being hurt by the bowstring and the Ten Perfections Cream he used was replaced by Chu Lingxiao, and even about her own medicine for Chu Lingxiao, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

She knew that the prince would not have such foolish thoughts, and she was sure that the prince would definitely agree with her approach, so she looked very calm.

Gu Jue listened quietly.

He had heard Xue Feng say something about Chu Qianchen, in the Yongding Marquis Mansion, Chu Qianchen was very close to his mother-in-law Shen, but the relationship between her and her father and mother was much better than her.

Looking at Chu Qianchen's soft eyes when he mentioned the Shen family and Chu Yunmu's mother and son, Gu Jue knew that what Xue Fengyan said was true.

Even if Chu Qianchen didn't mention from beginning to end that Chu Lingxiao's actions and feet on the bowstring were aimed at her, Gu Jue's cleverness could easily deduce it.

Gu Jue's eyes were slightly dark.

Obviously, Chu Lingxiao and Chu Qianchen's biological mother, Aunt Jiang, not only didn't care about her, but also tried to use her in every possible way, even at the expense of hurting her to achieve her goals.

For ordinary people, this is a huge blow.

But Chu Qianchen was not shocked, and there was no trace of sadness in his expression, obviously he had long been used to it.

She was only thirteen years old, and how much had happened to make her so disappointed in her parents.

This girl is really distressing and sour.

Gu Jue suddenly raised his hand and stretched it towards the top of Chu Qianchen's hair.

Chu Qianchen thought he was going to rub his head, and his eyes lit up a little.

However, his warm fingers only touched her sideburns slightly, and then retracted them.

There was a big red pomegranate petal between the white and slender fingers.

He let go of the petal casually, but Chu Qianchen reached out and took the petal in his palm and clenched it in his fist.

The prince is the one who comforts her! Chu Qianchen looked up at Gu Jue and smiled sweetly.

A breeze blew the veil on her face and the ribbon on her head, and her clothes flew to her brows.

Gu Jue sent Chu Qianchen to the side door.

The carriage of the palace carrying Chu Qianchen gradually moved away, Gu Jue looked at the departing green canopy carriage, and casually raised his hand and flicked his fingers.

In the next moment, Xue Fengyan appeared out of nowhere, falling lightly from the high wall, and he seemed to have guessed that Gu Jue had something to ask him.

"What errand is Chu Lingxiao on now?" Gu Jue asked lightly.

Xue Fengyan can now be described as a "Chu family pass", not to mention Chu Lingxiao's errands, even the errands of other masters of the Chu family and where several sons are studying, etc., all know clearly.

He immediately replied, "Bannermen." ”

The three words did not hide his disdain for Chu Lingxiao, Chu Lingxiao, the Marquis of Yongding, really has nothing to praise, and it is not a little worse than the old Marquis in front of him.

Moreover, not to mention the blindness, the character is not very good.

Gu Jue casually dusted off his robe and dropped a sentence: "Since he has broken his leg, he should rest well." ”

Gu Jue said unclearly, but Xue Fengyan immediately understood.

He was afraid that Yun Zhan would rob him of his errand, so he hurriedly took the order: "Lord Wang, don't worry, leave this matter to me!" ”

Xue Fengyan jumped up briskly, climbed over the high wall and disappeared.

Outside the palace, the green canopy carriage had also disappeared at the end of the road, and the carriage had been sending Chu Qianchen to Jishitang.

Chu Qianchen stayed in Jishitang for an hour, completely unaware that the transfer order of the military department was sent to the Yongding Marquis Mansion during this period, and dismissed him on the pretext that Chu Lingxiao needed to recuperate from his injuries.

Aunt Jiang finished reading the order with a trembling voice, and she almost didn't dare to look at Chu Lingxiao's face.

"Show it to me......" Chu Lingxiao's voice was also trembling, his face was extremely ugly, white and purple.

His broken leg is still in severe pain, and the pain-relieving decoction prescribed by the doctor can't last long, and he doesn't dare to sleep for fear of nightmares, obviously his eyelids are heavy, but he can only hold on, but in just one day, he seems to have changed as a person, completely missing the nobility and calmness of his daily life, and the whole person is haggard.

This military dispatch was a double blow to him.

Aunt Jiang handed him the order, and he read it at a glance, his gaze pausing on the red seal of the military department in the lower left corner.

The blood-red seal was so glaring, as if it were blood.

Chu Lingxiao's chest rose and fell violently, as if he had been struck by lightning.

This errand is too important to him!

For this errand, he tried his best, spent several months maneuvering around, and spent a full 50,000 taels of silver to get the position of deputy commander of the standard-bearer.

His real goal is naturally not for a small deputy commander, but for the position of commander.

He also learned by chance that the father of the standard-bearer Wei Wang's commander was seriously ill in his hometown, and his condition was getting worse, and the Wang family invited many famous doctors, all of whom said that the old lady Wang might not survive the second half of the year.

Once the old lady Wang is gone, the commander of the king will be worried, and the position of the commander will naturally be vacant.

This position is his hope for the revitalization of the Hou Mansion.

Over the years, their Yongding Hou Mansion has been declining day by day, and those clan nobles in Beijing do not take the Hou Mansion in their eyes, not to mention the distance, the closest is the 60th birthday of Prince Li last month, and they did not send a post to the Hou Mansion.

If he doesn't have an errand, will there still be a place for their Hou Mansion in this capital?!

Chu Lingxiao felt like a colic, his throat suddenly sweetened, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from between his lips and teeth.

The blood stained the order in his hand red, and it was shockingly red.

Seeing this, Aunt Jiang screamed in shock, pounced on Chu Lingxiao, and cried: "Master Hou...... Master Hou, don't scare the concubine! ”

Aunt Jiang's tears rained down, and her face turned pale, as if she was going to faint at any time.

Looking at Aunt Jiang's unassertive look, the big girl knew that she couldn't count on her, so she hurriedly instructed the little maid: "Quick, hurry up and let someone go to the doctor!" ”

"Let someone inform the lady and the eldest lady again."

“……”

The house was a mess.

Aunt Jiang kept crying, and the maids came and went.

After a while, the entire Hou Mansion was alarmed, and they were all saying that Hou Ye was so angry that he vomited blood because he was removed from the military department.

Chu Qianchen had just returned home, and Amber had already been guarding her at the gatehouse, took the medicine bags in her hand, and told her about it again.

Chu Qianchen moved her eyebrows, and after a brief moment of surprise, she pursed her lips and smiled.

"Girl." Amber looked at her own girl, and always felt that she was a little strange, like a cat that had stolen a fishy cat.

Chu Qianchen happily walked in the direction of Wanyan Courtyard, his steps were so brisk that he was almost flying.

She could be sure that this must be the prince who was angry with her.

That is, the prince has always treated her best.

After Chu Qianchen returned to Wanyan Courtyard, he locked himself in the small study and excitedly made the Ten Perfection Cream.

That's two days.

In the past two days, because of Chu Lingxiao's leg injury, Mrs. Tai exempted them from asking for peace, and Mrs. Tai was busy asking people to look for famous doctors who were good at orthopedics in the capital and nearby towns.

In addition to visiting Chu Yunmu every day, Chu Qianchen basically stayed at home.

Two days later, at dusk, Chu Qianchen finally made the Ten Perfection Ointment, and after repeated boiling and filtering, more than a dozen medicine bags were finally only made into about one porcelain bowl of ointment.

She divided the Ten Perfections into two parts, one in a small porcelain jar with blue flowers on a white background, and the other in a small black porcelain bottle, and added a few more flavors of medicine to it.

Chu Qianchen grabbed the small black porcelain bottle in his hand, sniffed it, and the corners of his mouth hooked an arc.

She walked to the window and pushed the sash open with both hands.

The courtyard outside the window was empty, only the flowers and trees swaying gently in the wind.

Chu Qianchen shouted: "Young Master Xue? ”

A plane tree in the courtyard visibly trembled slightly, as if frightened and trembled.

The next moment, Xue Fengyan, who was dressed in green clothes, jumped down from the plane tree, and walked towards Chu Qianchen by the window with a strange expression, his face was still a little confused.

Although he vaguely guessed that Chu Qianchen had probably discovered that someone was secretly following her, how could she be sure that it was him?

Moreover, she just called him out with such a big grin, right?!

Chu Qianchen looked at Xue Fengyan outside the window, and the corners of his lips curled.

She did know it a long time ago.

How noble the prince is, she is just a miracle doctor who came out of nowhere, no matter how suspicious she looks, they must find out her ancestors for eighteen generations.

In the past two months, Xue Fengyan has been quietly following her, at first to find out her origin, and later, to protect her safety.

Before she cures the prince, Xue Fengyan will not allow her to make any mistakes.

"Xue Gongzi, do me a favor." Chu Qianchen looked at him steadily.

"Girl, please." Xue Fengyan smiled lazily, quite a bit of uninhibited taste.

He looked more like a chivalrous warrior who traveled the world with a sword than a soldier who fought on the battlefield.

"Please Xue Gongzi bring this jar of ointment to ...... Aunt Jiang's jar was stolen. Chu Qianchen said calmly, handing the small black porcelain bottle in his hand to Xue Fengyan.

Xue Fengyan: "......"

Xue Fengyan never thought that what Chu Qianchen was asking for was this, and his eyes were even more subtle.

Chu Qianchen handed the small black porcelain bottle to Xue Fengyan again, and said calmly: "It's a big deal, if you are injured in the future, I will treat you for free!" Keeping you can give you one more life than others. ”

Xue Fengyan: "......"

He raised his hand and took the small black porcelain vase, played with it casually twice, and responded: "Okay." ”

Although even if he didn't have Chu Qianchen's promise, he would agree to help her.

Xue Fengyan took the small porcelain vase and left, and Chu Qianchen also went out, bringing another small porcelain jar with blue flowers on a white background.

Chu Qianchen went to the main courtyard to see Chu Yunmu, and it happened that Chu Qianhuang was also there.

Chu Qianhuang just returned to the Hou Mansion last night, a few days ago, she accompanied her grandmother, Duchess Mu Guo, to Daxing Temple to worship the Buddha, but because she heard that Chu Lingxiao injured her leg, she hurried back.

"Mother, I just heard from my grandmother that my father lost his job as a flag guard......"

"Mother, should I go to the palace and ask Aunt Guifei?"

Chu Qianhuang looked worried, and his delicate willow eyebrows wrinkled tightly.

Chu Qianchen walked in slowly, his gaze silently sweeping over Chu Qianhuang's body.

The Shen clan did not shy away from Chu Qianchen, and refused without hesitation: "No need. ”

"This is your father's business, Sister Huang'er, you are a junior, and you are still a girl's family, so don't get involved. If there is anything, your grandmother will consult with the concubine. ”

The Shen family didn't care about Chu Lingxiao's errand at all, anyway, as long as the title of the Hou Mansion was still there, it would be enough for this title to be passed on to her Mu Ge'er in the future.

Errands or something, whatever!

In the final analysis, even if the Hou Mansion is in decline now, it doesn't matter, she has a dowry and silver, and she can't suffer her children.

When Brother Mu grows up in the future, he will naturally be able to break through a future on his own.

Chu Qianchen walked in front of Shen and saluted.

When Shen's eyes met Chu Qianchen, his expression was full of smiles, and he said softly: "Sister Chen, you are here, Brother Mu has been thinking about you since noon." ”

Before her words fell, Chu Yunmu's chattering voice came from behind the door curtain: "Is Chu Qianchen here?" ”

Chu Qianchen went in to see Chu Yunmu, and Shen and Chu Qianhuang also entered the house together.

Chu Yunmu had just taken a nap, and he called the maid to wait for him to get up, and his mouth didn't stop at all.

"Chu Qianchen, tell your mother quickly, I'm really all right!"

"Look at me, how good my spirits and appetite are now, I even ate two bowls of rice at noon!"

"I've been raising it for so many days, and if I keep raising it, I'm going to get moldy from head to toe."

Chu Yunmu said as he quietly stuffed Chu Qianchen with a straw weave that he had braided, desperately staring at him, intending to bribe.

Chu Qianchen was amused by him, and couldn't help but rub his head again.

Chu Yunmu wanted to avoid it, but he couldn't help it, thinking about it, he still asked Chu Qianchen, looking like he was "bearing the burden of humiliation".

Chu Qianhuang looked at them in a daze, and couldn't help but think of the scene when Chu Yunmu avoided him that day, "Sister, you can't rub a boy's head." ”

She suddenly felt out of place.

It was as if there was an invisible door that pushed her out, and she could neither intervene nor fit in.

Chu Qianhuang suddenly moved and took a few steps closer to Chu Yunmu.

Seeing this, the big girl avoided it with interest.

Chu Qianhuang personally tied the strap on Chu Yunmu's robe, and said softly in distress: "Brother Mu, it's good that you're fine." ”

She reached out and gently stroked the scar on his face, "Brother Mu, you still don't practice riding and archery in the future, in case something happens again." ”

When Shen Shi heard this, he frowned slightly, and said disapprovingly: "Sister Huang, boys can't be pampered, and besides, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days." ”

Shen's eyes flashed.

If the "thief" is deliberately eyeing you, even if Chu Yunmu avoids the bowstring this time, he will not be able to avoid anything else in the future.

This time, Chu Lingxiao can secretly change Chu Yunmu's ointment, and next time he doesn't know what else he will do!

"Eldest sister, I want to be a general in the future!" Chu Yunmu didn't follow either.

He straightened his chest and looked arrogant.

The little dog outside the window heard his master's voice and happily "snorted" outside, as if to echo him.

Chu Yunmu smiled happily, feeling that it was really worthy of being his dog, and he really had a tacit understanding with him.

"Nightshade!"

He took a piece of pork jerky from the box handed by the maid, and threw it out the window, and the seven-month-old dog jumped up, bit the piece of dried meat in one bite, and ate it deliciously.

The corners of Chu Qianhuang's mouth stiffened, and the corner of his eyes couldn't help but glance at Chu Qianchen, who also took a piece of dried meat from the box in the maid's hand and threw it out the window.

Obviously, Chu Qianchen didn't say anything, but Chu Qianhuang tasted the feeling of being excluded again.

Chu Qianhuang rubbed the handkerchief in his hand, and said obediently: "Mother, you are right." ”

"I'm too worried about Brother Mu'er, but I'm a little bit of a bull's horn, how can I be a person who wastes food because of choking."

Shen sighed faintly in his heart.

In the past, she thought that her daughter was good everywhere and didn't have to worry about anything, but now she realized that her daughter's seemingly perfect appearance hid so many problems. She had to look at the girl carefully and straighten it all the way.

Otherwise, she was really afraid that her daughter would go astray and become a thousand years of hatred.

Many times, there is no turning back.

After all, her daughter's eyes and mind are narrow, not like Sister Chen, with clear grievances, honor and disgrace, and her own furrow in her chest......

Among the girls of the Chu family, Sister Chen'er can no longer be described with the word "stand out", which makes her often have an indescribable sigh and sigh: The Chu family can raise a girl like Sister Chen.

Shen couldn't help but look at Chu Qianchen, and seeing that she and Chu Yunmu didn't know what little secret they were talking about, the sisters and brothers were all smiling, and they looked very harmonious.

Shen didn't notice it at all, and Chu Qianhuang also followed her gaze to Chu Qianchen and Chu Yunmu, and a haze appeared in her eyes. The handkerchief in her hand clenched even tighter.

Chu Qianchen played with Chu Yunmu for nearly an hour before leaving.

Before leaving, she gave the jar of Ten Perfect Paste that she had just made to Mama Chen. Mama Chen carefully put it away, almost swearing, that she would never let this jar of ointment out of her sight.

Chu Qianchen went back to Wanyan Courtyard directly.

As soon as he entered the house, there was a cyan figure by the window, which scared Amber half to death.

Amber also recognized Xue Fengyan, but she didn't shout, she hurriedly guarded outside the small study, for fear that others would come in.

Xue Fengyan threw the empty black bottle in his hand back to Chu Qianchen and said, "The matter is done." ”

He must not have been polite to Chu Qianchen, and directly swallowed the Ten Perfection Paste that he had replaced from Aunt Jiang.

Chu Qianchen took the small porcelain vase thrown in the air, just such a simple action, it revealed a heroic temperament.

Chu Qianchen knew that it was absolutely no problem for Xue Feng to act such a trivial matter, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he used a knife to kill chickens.

A shallow smile welled up in her eyes.

Xue Fengyan waved his hand, he was about to leave, but when he turned around, he remembered one more thing, so he said one more thing: "When I came out, I saw Aunt Jiang return to Qinghui Courtyard." ”

Chu Qianchen didn't say a word, just watched Xue Fengyan disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if he had never been here.

Chu Qianchen's gaze slowly shifted to the left, looking in the direction of Qinghui Courtyard.

Aunt Jiang had just entered her house at the moment, and she had been waiting for Chu Lingxiao for two whole days, and she didn't come back until today.

"Auntie, drink a cup of soothing tea." The maid served tea to Aunt Jiang, and said distressedly, "Aunt has really suffered these two days, and Mrs. is really ......."

Juan'er was upset for Aunt Jiang, and felt that the Shen family just left the seriously injured Hou Ye to ignore it, which was too unreasonable.

Aunt Jiang took two sips of hot tea, and she couldn't hide her tiredness all over her body, and said softly: "Hey, the misunderstanding between Mrs. and Master Hou is too deep......

"It's nothing for me to work hard, as long as Master Hou can recover."

"But now even the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital is helpless, and I don't know what will happen to Master Hou......"

Her curved eyebrows seemed to be frowning, looking worried, as if she was worried about Chu Lingxiao's injury.

Her slender white fingers holding the teacup strained slightly, and her pupils flickered.

When she was nine years old, her parents passed away one after another, and the family was in the middle of the road, and the clansmen pushed her around as an orphan girl, and in desperation, she could only come to the Chu family. After that, she stayed in the Hou Mansion for a while, and realized what it was like to be under the fence.

She knew that this Hou Mansion would be her cousin Chu Lingxiao's in the future, so she carefully curried favor with Chu Lingxiao, she learned whatever Chu Lingxiao liked, and she made him deeply in love with her step by step.

Before her and Xu, Chu Lingxiao once held her hand and vowed to Yue to marry her in the future.

However, he broke his promise after all.

Shen stepped in and robbed her Mrs. Hou...... It's Shen who is sorry for her!

And what else could she do?

She had nowhere to go at all except the Chu family......

Aunt Jiang took another sip of tea, and the ups and downs of the tea leaves in the tea soup were reflected in her eyes, which made her eyes deeper and more complex.

Over the years, Chu Lingxiao has taken pity on her and committed herself to being a concubine, and has always been very good to her.

She didn't expect that Chu Lingxiao, who was gentle and considerate on weekdays, would become like this after hurting his leg, irritable and irritable, and in the past two days, he was like a sleepy beast, losing his temper at her at every turn and smashing things.

Now he is like him in the past.
