Chapter 318 Beating around the bush
“Yes, I felt strange when I first came here that day.”
The person who spoke was not the maid next to him, but the person behind him.
Xiao Qianyi looked back and saw that it was the imperial doctor, as usual, wearing a gray-blue robe and carrying a large medicine box. Her gray hair was neatly combed, and there was a smile hidden in the folds of her eyes.
He is a kind and energetic little old man.
Xiao Qianyi saluted and asked: "Is the boss coming back from His Highness?"
Chen Dechun nodded with a smile.
The north wind was strong and cold. Just standing outside for a while, my face felt like a knife.
The two of them did not dare to stay long.
Xiao Qianyi followed Chen Dechun into the house. The radiator was so hot that her frozen body was like a block of ice, which quickly melted.
Xiao Qianyi sat in front of the small stove, rolling her eyes and looking around. The layout was really like a medical hospital, and even the air was filled with the bitter smell of herbs.
Chang Dechun poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.
"What does the girl want to see me for?"
Xiao Qianyi took the cup with both hands, her heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her eyes.
"Recently, I have been having trouble sleeping at night, dreaming a lot, and sweating easily. So, I would like to ask you, sir, to take a look at it for me."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dechun took her pulse and was silent for a long time.
He pondered for a moment and said: "You don't have to worry, girl. You're just feeling angry. I'll prescribe you some Coptis Shangqing Pills. Take them on time every day and you'll be fine in a few days."
After that, he stood up and took the medicine from the big medicine box and handed it to her.
Xiao Qianyi smiled and thanked her, then looked at the big medicine box.
The rosewood cabinet has pits and pits, the paint is mottled and peeling off, and one corner is wrapped in brass. A piece must have been chipped off and repaired by force. Like a shabby old antique, it has its stubborn persistence.
Xiao Qianyi wondered: "I never noticed before, do all doctors with superb medical skills like to use this kind of big box?"
Chen Dechun poured himself a cup of tea and sat down with a smile.
"Not really. I have used it for too long. It has followed me through wind and rain for so many years. I am used to it. If I don't see it one day, I feel uneasy."
He paused, and then said: "Today's young people may prefer lightweight ones, and they can wear a bag."
A bag?
The shadow of a dirty pendant flashed in his mind.
Xiao Qianyi pursed her lips and asked boldly: "I have seen one at His Highness' place. Is it like that?"
Chen Dechun was surprised: "That's exactly what I said. I didn’t expect the girl to have seen that one before.”
“Do you know...whose bag it is?” Xiao Qianyi’s heartbeat quickened and she tried to maintain her apparent calm.
The sachet belongs to Yu Wenjue’s first wife, no, it belongs to Lu Xiu.
Chen Dechun thought for a while: "It should have been left by the person who rescued him that day. The bag contained a lot of medicine and poison."
Speaking of the medicine and poison in there, it was true. It was so amazing that he spent a lot of time studying and distinguishing it.
Chen Dechun couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, it didn't fall into the hands of others, otherwise a lot of things would have happened."
Xiao Qianyi couldn't hide her surprise: "Didn't the boss save your highness?"
They all knew that it was Gongsun Xu who took Yu Wenjue back. Later, when they saw that the imperial physician Ling was always with him, they took it for granted that it was the imperial physician Ling who rescued Yu Wenjue in time.
Chen Dechun smiled: "No."
"Who is that?" Xiao Qianyi's voice trembled unconsciously.
She remembered clearly that what Qingzhu was talking about that day was the lady's things...
Chen Dechun shook his head: "Your Highness has never said that, but looking at the pattern of the bag, he should be a young man. Maybe it’s from the past.”
“A man?” “Yes, it’s embroidered with turquoise patterns, it’s clearly a man’s thing.”
The house was quiet for a while, with only the whistling of the wind outside the window and the crackling of the fire indoors.
Xiao Qianyi's head was in a mess, and she couldn't help but slowly recall that in the big wooden box that day, there were not only women's sachets, but also letters, plus this men's sachet.
It seems that she has overthought it. The things in the wooden box are just old acquaintances, kept as souvenirs.
Xiao Qianyi picked up the cup and lowered her head to take a few sips. She didn’t realize that such a person who looked like a pile of ice and snow could still be so nostalgic...
The corner of his mouth couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Since that man saved His Highness, why didn't He come with us, the Great Zhou Dynasty? Your Highness should be grateful for preserving his things like this. The Qi country is so poor, sooner or later it will all be in our pocket. It would be a pity if such a talent died in the chaos of war. "
Who says it's not the case?
Chen Dechun sighed, how great it would be if such a good young talent could be turned into a closed disciple!
Alas...
"Everyone has his own ambitions, let alone Qi people. If you persuade them to defect to the Zhou Dynasty, isn't that calling them traitors?"
Xiao Qianyi silently lowered her eyes. That's right. Didn't she always call him a traitor and a deserter?
She bit her lip, why not try to find this doctor? If she really persuaded this man to surrender, his jaw would definitely be shocked.
Xiao Qianyi couldn't help but laugh when she thought of his frightened look.
But how to find this person?
"I heard that Mr. Gongsun went to the Qi Army camp to bring His Highness back. Has he seen this doctor?"
Chen Dechun frowned: "He didn't mention it, maybe. His Highness never mentioned old things. "
Xiao Qian's expression became serious. Even if Gongsun Xu knew it, he wouldn't be able to tell it from his mouth. It would be better to start from Qi State. Since he committed suicide in public, Someone must have seen who came to the rescue!
After making up my mind, my heart felt light again, but the lightness only lasted for a moment, and I felt a little disappointed.
Xiao Qianyi raised her eyes: "Is it because of the person in the palace of Qi that you don't want to mention old things?"
Speaking of this matter, she felt depressed. She was just pregnant, but the Lord actually sent people thousands of miles away to deliver congratulatory gifts.
Others don’t know the inside story, but the Lord knows it. Why would you give so many treasures to a person who betrayed Yu Wenjue?
It’s incredible.
Chen Dechun couldn't help but smile as he looked at the arrogant girl from Yin Yue Mansion in front of him.
He was not here to see a doctor, he was obviously trying to find out the news through his mouth.
The target was His Highness Prince Qi, whom she usually did not give a good look to.
Chen Dechun said: "I don't know if it's because of her. I just know that His Highness never mentions her. Even if we mention her occasionally, His Highness is indifferent."
Indifferent...< br>
Xiao Qianyi nodded lightly. It seemed that not only the rumors were untrue, but the information that brother ordered people to inquire about was also inaccurate.
Who is it that spreads the news that Lu Xiu loves Mrs. Yu Rui?
There were still things belonging to him and Mrs. Li in the wooden box, but none of hers were found.
It’s true that lies are spread by lies.
Xiao Qianyi talked to Chen Dechun again for a while, but the topic was elsewhere.
When Xiao Qianyi left, Chen Dechun looked at his back in the snow, stroking his mustache, shaking his head and smiling, the emperor could rest assured now.
After leaving Chen Dechun's small courtyard, Xiao Qianyi did not go back to her residence, but went directly to the courtyard where Xiao Jingnan temporarily lived.
When Xiao Qianyi came in, Xiao Jingnan was reading a book.
She stepped forward and took the book from his hand, smiling brightly.
"Brother, can you help me find someone?"
In the second half, this girl Xiao is quite crucial. She will return to the heroine in the next chapter~
I really I’m saving my manuscript
