King Huainan's face sank suddenly, "What can't Sanniang afford to bear?" This king thinks that you have always been very bold. ”

Chu Nianshui's eyes narrowed slightly, but he still smiled lightly and said: "The prince said that he was laughing, if the courtiers really had the courage to do this, they would not come today, the courtiers are just a county lord, the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenning, and the grandson of the secretary and prison, how dare they argue with the prince?" ”

As soon as this naked threat came out, King Huainan suddenly slapped the stone table, and the originally solid stone table was slapped by him like this, shaking the tea set on the entire table with a crisp sound. But in the face of the wrath of the King of Huainan, Chu Nian's face remained unchanged, she did not give the King of Huainan a chance to continue to be angry, but grabbed the roar of the King of Huainan and blurted out with a smile: "I heard that the prince is wise and martial, as early as when the emperor was alive, he made many meritorious deeds, and almost ascended the throne, and the courtiers have always admired the prince. ”

The anger was calmed down by Chu Nian's words, and King Huainan heard the meaning of Chu Nian's words, and his eyes shrewd narrowed slightly, "Don't mention the old past, but Sanniang said this is a big rebellion, aren't you afraid, will you be questioned if the queen mother knows?" ”

Chu Nian smiled slightly, calmly picked up the teapot and poured a cup for himself, and filled the teacup of King Huainan before he said slowly: "If this matter becomes a fact, what is the crime of the courtier?" Or is it ...... Will the prince ask his courtiers about their sins? ”

King Huainan always squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Chu Nian, and was silent for a long time, until Chu Nian's tea bottomed out again, and King Huainan suddenly laughed, "Hehe, Sanniang really lives up to the name of a talented woman, or this king looks down on you, but Lord Chen ......"

He touched the wrench in his hand and looked at Chu Nian with a bit of temptation.

Chu Nian smiled and said, "Naturally, there is no shortage of people in the court who can fill the position of secretary and supervisor, but can the prince be sure that the next secretary and supervisor is not the queen mother?" ”

After speaking, she saw the thoughtful face of the king of Huainan, knowing that the purpose of this trip was achieved, she was no longer in a hurry, but just got up and saluted and said: "Time is running out, the prince and consider, the courtiers are just putting forward an opinion, if the prince can adopt the opinions of the courtiers, it is the benefactor of my Chen family, and the courtiers will do their best to assist the prince, and now that the sun is setting, the courtiers will retire first." ”

Sure enough, not long after Chu Nian returned to Jishitang, news came from the Chen family, saying that Old Man Chen had returned home, and asked Chu Nian not to worry about you, Chu Nian sent a secret guard to send a message to Old Man Chen saying that he didn't want him to make a public announcement.

But a wave of unsettled waves rose again, and the queen mother heard a rumor from somewhere that the divine doctor of Jishitang was proficient in the art of immortality, so she sent someone to Jishitang to arrest her into the palace, and said in the name of "please" Auntie to help her cure her stubborn disease, which actually exposed her mind.

People's greed is endless, like the Queen Mother, a dying old man, now that she has power and money, what else can she pursue?

Of course, I have enjoyed power and money for several lifetimes!

Chu Nian didn't understand why Shen Ruan curry favor with the Queen Mother until this time, if she had a close relationship with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was bent on immortality, if she figured out the Queen Mother's mind and made a little progress, even if the Queen Mother didn't believe it, she would have the intention of giving it a try and arresting Ah Wu away.

Once Ah Wu left Jishitang, Jishitang could only close its door, and Chu Nian's only property could only be closed.

Is this taking advantage of her absence to cut off her financial route? Chu Nian sneered in his heart, he could come up with such a boring scheme, it was worthy of Shen Ruan. However, Shen Ruan provided her with an opportunity......

The next day after the aunt was arrested, Chu Nian took Zhuqing back to Chu's house, the old lady saw Chu Nian come back, and almost shed tears of joy, now she is convinced of the words of the previous heartless Taoist, Chu Nian was not in the Chu family during the days, she has been seriously ill and small disasters, until Chu Nian came back a few days ago to get better, now I see Chu Nian, as if I have seen my favorite granddaughter, I have been holding Chu Nian's hand and asking for warmth, until Chu Nian is really tired, then let her go to rest.

The news of Chu Nian's return immediately spread throughout the capital, and the first one to come to the door was the Queen Mother.

When entering the palace, Chu Nian went with Zhu Qing, and when she saw Zhu Qing standing beside Chu Nian, the Queen Mother was a little surprised.

"Nian'er, who is this?"

Chu Nian smiled and arched his hand: "The Empress Dowager, this is the life-saving benefactor of the courtier, the courtier's horse lost control in the hunting ground, fell off the cliff, and almost lost half her life, it was this Taoist who passed by and saved the courtier's life with a pill." ”

Hearing about the pill, the Queen Mother's eyes lit up, but she pretended to be worried and said, "Nian'er is injured?" Come over and show the mourning family, is there any discomfort now? The mourning family is called the Imperial Doctor......"

"Empress Dowager Lao bothered, the elixir of the Taoist chief was very magical, after falling off the cliff, the courtier's whole body muscles and bones were broken, but after eating the elixir of the Taoist, but in three days, even the broken bones on the body were healed, but there were some scars left on the back."

If it is said that it has fully recovered, I am afraid that the Queen Mother's suspicious personality will not believe it, but if there are still injuries on the body, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, the effect of the elixir has already brought Chu Nian back to life.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the doubts in the Queen Mother's eyes were already dispelled, but she also pretended to be worried and said, "How come? But the amount of pills is not enough? If this is the case, the Taoist chief may wish to give Nian'er another one, and the mourning family is willing to pay for it, and the Taoist chief will pay a price. ”

Hearing this, Chu Nian raised his eyebrows, but he quietly glanced at Zhu Qing on his side, Zhu Qing immediately understood, and arched his hand towards the Queen Mother: "It's not that Poor Dao is unwilling to help Chu Sanniang recover, but the materials of this elixir are scarce, if you want to completely heal Sanniang's injury, I'm afraid it will take three days, and Poor Dao can also collect medicinal materials." ”

The Queen Mother frowned and beckoned to Chu Nian, "Nian'er, come here, the mourning family will take a look at your wounds, and your daughter's family should not leave scars." ”

At this moment, the wound on Chu Nian's shoulder had already scabbed, Zhu Qing avoided it, and the grandmother on the side stepped forward to inspect Chu Nian's wound, and after a while, she nodded towards the Queen Mother, and saw the Queen Mother fuss and said, "Nian'er's wound is so serious?" Hurry up and ask Daoist Zhuqing to help refine some more pills, it's better to heal quickly. ”

Chu Nian knew that it was not easy for the Queen Mother to believe in her, Shen Ruan had a good relationship with the Wang family who married Shen Duan, so she easily won the trust of the Queen Mother, but Chu Nian was different, she was Wang Zixuan's person in the bright face, compared to believing in Wang Zixuan, the Queen Mother believed in the Wang family who had been kept by her side.

And the Wang family, as far as Chu Nian knows, has always been loyal to the Queen Mother, because she has lived by the Queen Mother's side since she was a child, and she is even very estranged from Wang Zixuan.

Now that she has shown the Queen Mother her "only wound that has not healed", the next step is to give Zhu Qing a chance to verify the "miraculous effect" of his elixir, three days, as long as her shocking wound heals within these three days, the Queen Mother will definitely not doubt it anymore.

Next up is Grandma.

The queen mother seemed to have forgotten that she had caught Chu Nian's divine doctor into the palace, and had been greeting Chu Nian, Chu Nian mentioned Ah Nian, but she talked about him left and right, which made Chu Nian have a trace of ominous premonition in his heart, and the first thing he did when he returned to Ji Shitang was to ask Dian Yi to send a message to Ming Xiu, asking him to check the whereabouts of Ah Nian in the palace.

In Jishitang, Zhao Er and a young man were in a hurry.

This young man is Ah Chang, Ah Chang's younger brother, Chu Nian hasn't seen him for a long time, and he almost forgot about Ah Chang's existence, but he still secretly reminded Ah Chang that Ah Chang was sent to the mountains by him to cultivate, and Chu Nian remembered this.

In the past year, Ah Chang has grown a lot taller, this year he looks like he has suffered a lot, but his originally thin body is finally stronger, his skin is darker, his big eyes are becoming more and more bright, and when he saw Chu Nian pacing in, he hurriedly rushed over.

"Sanniang, where is my sister?"

Chu Nian's eyes fell on the hand he was holding on his shoulder, and his face turned a few degrees pale.

The dark three on the side suddenly slapped his hand away, and said angrily: "Didn't your master teach you not to act recklessly?" Are you planning to add a little more pain to Sanniang's injuries? ”

Ah Chang reacted at this time, scratched his head embarrassedly, but still said anxiously: "Sanniang, my sister will be fine, right?" ”

Chu Nian frowned, at the moment she was not sure if Grandma was wrong, judging from the attitude of the Queen Mother, Grandma's current situation was not very good. The miracle doctor who said that he would live forever was caught and found that he could only cure the disease, how could the Queen Mother be willing? I'm afraid that I will torture my grandmother a few degrees.

It seems that she needs to prepare quickly to exchange Auntie back with Zhuqing.

Seeing Chu Nian's sinking face, Ah Chang was suddenly full of annoyance, "That old witch in the palace is really ......"

Ah Chang said half of his words, and was hurriedly covered by Zhao Er on the side, Ah Chang couldn't make a sound, so he had to look at Zhao Er angrily.

Zhao Er looked at him helplessly and said: "Brother-in-law, don't blame your brother-in-law, your brother-in-law is also anxious, but Sanniang must have a certain number in her heart, so don't worry about Sanniang anymore, besides, your problem of talking nonsense in public has to be changed." ”

When he said this, Ah Chang seemed to be even more annoyed, only staring at him fiercely with a pair of eyes, but he no longer waved his fists.

……

Three days later, Chu Nian received another invitation from the Queen Mother, this time Chu Nian entered the palace without taking Zhu Qing, seeing that Zhu Qing was not there, the Queen Mother's eyes obviously rose with a deep sense of disappointment, but she also held on to the last glimmer of hope, and asked someone to examine Chu Nian's wounds.

The elixir that can bring people back to life is naturally fake, and the prescription Qingyunguan, which may make the wound heal earlier, is definitely there as the first Taoist temple of Daliang, but in three days, the scab on Chu Nian's back has fallen off, and a piece of pink skin is gradually growing, seeing this scene, the Queen Mother is becoming more and more satisfied.

"Nian'er, quickly invite the head of Zhuqing Dao into the palace, since he is your life-saving benefactor, the mourning family will naturally be rewarded."

Chu Nian said with a light smile: "Daoist Zhuqing is now living in the mansion, but he doesn't seem to be willing to enter the palace, so the courtiers didn't bring him in." ”

The Queen Mother became serious, "Since he is a life-saving benefactor, how can he be lazy, if he really doesn't want to enter the palace, it is better to move this old bone and reward him in person, without further ado, let's go." ”
