Chapter 172 172 Emergency

Chu Yunmu was also in high spirits. He had long forgotten to find fault with Gu Jue, and shouted from the side: "Second brother-in-law, what about me? I want to go too..."

He is his brother-in-law, so the second brother-in-law should please him, right?

However, Chu Yunmu's last words were interrupted by Chu Qianchen's blast.

"Don't make trouble." Chu Qianchen patted his head gently, "You're still too young."

Chu Yunmu was not convinced, pouted and said: "I'm five and a half years old!"

Chu Yunmu looked at his brother-in-law expectantly, his phoenix eyes similar to Chu Qianchen's were incredibly bright.

He thought of something, and quickly took an empty tea cup from the side. He also followed Chu Yunyi's example, poured tea for Gu Jue, and handed it to Gu Jue almost forcefully.

Gu Jue glanced at Chu Qianchen with a smile, his eyes seemed to say, "Look, I've already taken the tea."

"When you take a bath next time, I'll take you there to play." Gu Jue said with a smile.

Chu Yunmu was still so young, so it was naturally impossible for Gu Jue to let him live in the military camp as long as Chu Yunyi did. The most he could do was take him to the military camp to experience it.

Chu Yunmu, who was always very coaxed, was happy and shouted happily: "Second brother-in-law, then we have an agreement."

He almost stretched out his little finger and wanted to hang himself with Gu Jue, but he thought that was too childish. After all, he was five and a half years old!

Gu Jue said, of course Chu Qianchen would not object, it was only for one day anyway, and the military camp was a good place.

Since Chu Yunmu plans to join the military, he should go and see how hard it is. If he can't bear the hardship, he might as well give up quickly. After all, life is not just one way to go.

Of course, Chu Yunmu didn't know what his sister was thinking. He was so happy that he almost floated. He pulled Chu Yunyi to sit down and told him earnestly: "Brother, you must not lose this afternoon! "

He held on to Chu Yunyi's sleeve and kept muttering, "My mother often told me that no one is perfect, and we must learn from each other's strengths to compensate for our weaknesses."

"Just like when I catch sparrows, I can't be faster than the sparrows with just one hand. I put out the bait and set up the basket. Hehe, I caught every one of the fifty-six sparrows that often come to the house. I also caught them. I marked them."

Chu Yunmu said some specious words, which made Chu Qianchen laugh. She also knew that Chu Yunmu often caught sparrows in the Hou Mansion, but she didn't know that he actually caused harm to all those sparrows.

Chu Yunyi listened and was surrounded by Chu Yunmu.

At first, he thought the kid was annoying, but gradually, he felt that what his fourth brother said seemed reasonable.

A little guy chirped, and Chu Yunyi listened silently.

After a while, the waiter served a variety of hot dishes.

The three siblings stayed in the restaurant for an hour before coming out. When Chu Yunyi came, he had his head drooped and looked gloomy; when he left, he was high-spirited and eager to try.

On the contrary, Chu Yunmu was not happy. After all, he had no chance to take out his heavy silver ingot, so he could only mutter repeatedly that he would treat him next time.

The little guy's nagging didn't stop until the martial arts test started in the afternoon, and he turned to cheering for Chu Yunyi.

Afraid that he would make his voice hoarse again, Chu Qianchen stuffed a throat lozenge into his mouth from time to time.

Like a divine help, Chu Yunyi won consecutively and reversed his disadvantage in the morning and won the first place in the martial arts test.

The next day, he performed exceptionally well in the literary examination, and finally ranked first among the martial arts candidates and won the admission to the Imperial College.

After receiving the good news, Mrs. Tai was overjoyed and felt that the rise of the Chu family was just around the corner. She wanted to hold a grand banquet to celebrate, but she did not wait until Chu Yunyi came back.

Brothers Chu Yunyi and Chu Yunmu were both taken to Xuanjia Camp by Gu Jue.

For this pair of brothers who had never been to a military camp, this place was very new. Chu Yunyi could handle it fairly well, while Chu Yunmu kept chattering like a sparrow. Yan patiently answered the little guy's questions.

Chu Yunyi seemed casual, but in fact he was listening with his ears pricked up.

They spent nearly an hour walking around the camp, and also went to see the Xuanjia Army's drill. Near dusk, Gu Jue brought the excited Chu Yunmu back to the capital and dropped him off in the main hall of Duke Mu's mansion. At the door, Chu Yunyi was left in the military camp.

When Gu Jue returned to the palace, the sky was already dim and the sun was about to completely set.

At dusk in summer, the temperature is suitable, and the evening breeze blows in your face, making it exceptionally quiet.

Gu Jue entered Chu Qianchen's small study alone. There were several rows of bookshelves in the room, and all kinds of books were neatly placed. There was a desk by the south window, which contained the four treasures of the study and a tank of goldfish. There are several scrolls of calligraphy and painting inserted in the blue and white porcelain vat...

The house is clean and tidy, and the smell of books, ink, and incense is overwhelming, and there is also a faint smell of medicine.

In the past, the smell of medicine that he didn't like at all now makes him look forward to it.

In the small study, the light was dim, with only a few rays of the last sunset shining into the room through the window. A girl in a lilac-colored shirt was lying quietly on her side on the beauty couch, with her black hair casually tied with a ribbon of the same color. Tied to the ground.

She closed her eyes, and her thick and long eyelashes cast light shadows under her eye sockets, as if she was asleep.

He walked lightly towards the beauty's couch, wanting to cover her with a thin blanket.

Chu Qianchen on the couch murmured in a low voice, frowned tightly, and clenched his fists tightly, as if he was having a nightmare...

Gu Jue walked to the beauty's bed, leaned over slightly, and wanted to call her name. At this moment, there was a sudden rustling sound outside the window, as if some bird's wings were brushing against the branches and leaves.

The next moment, the **** the beauty's couch suddenly opened her eyes. A pair of cold and clear phoenix eyes shot towards Gu Jue like ice arrows.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, her whole body was like a fully drawn bowstring, and there was a cold chill in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, cold and deep.

The two looked at each other.

Gu Jue raised his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty..." Chu Qianchen blinked.

As she shouted, her aura changed drastically.

The corners of her rosy lips and phoenix eyes were slightly curved, and a lingering smile appeared between her brows and eyes, as if the spring breeze blew across the frozen lake, warming the air and melting the ice and snow.

Gu Jue sat down next to the beauty's couch, looked at her and asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"

"Yes." Chu Qianchen nodded, sat up from the couch, held Gu Jue's hand, and felt his body temperature, "But it's okay."

Yes, it's okay.

She was reborn, back to the time when the prince was still alive, and back to the time when it was not too late.

Her hair, which was originally tied loosely, fell apart because the hair tie slipped, and her black hair fell down like a waterfall. Her cheeks were as bright as snow, with a peach blossom-like blush, and her eyes were wet, looking sleepy.

It was like a ferocious little beast suddenly became as harmless as a deer.

Gu Jue put his fist to his lips, let out a faint smile, and rubbed her head, "It's okay."

On the desk, two water lilies in the blue and white porcelain fish tank rippled with the waves, and the water rippled silently.

Chu Qianchen still held Gu Jue's hand, and after a while, his mood gradually calmed down.

She slid her fingers along his wrist, feeling for his pulse as a habit, and kept her breath calm.

There are only two big pills left.

Since taking Dazao Pills, Gu Jue's condition has obviously improved step by step, whether it is visible to the naked eye or the old diseases hidden in the body.

After the remaining Dazao Pills were finished, she had to change to another warming prescription.

Chu Qianchen had already thought about how to treat Gu Jue countless times in her previous life and wrote at least a dozen notebooks. In her previous life, she couldn't use it, but now she can finally do it.

Chu Qianchen opened his bright eyes and stared at Gu Jue with burning eyes.

As soon as Gu Jue saw her look, he knew that she was worrying about her injuries again, and asked, "Are you hungry?"

As he spoke, he picked up a box of snacks. The big red carton had the three characters "Baiweiju" written on it.

Chu Qianchen's nose moved, and he pursed his lips and smiled, his smile sweet and delicate.

"Lotus cake from Baiweiju?"

Baiweiju produces new snacks every quarter, including peach blossom cakes in spring, lotus cakes and lotus root cakes in summer... Both she and the prince like to eat Baiweiju's snacks.

After the box was opened, eight square pieces of lotus cake were revealed, which were hot and fragrant.

Chu Qianchen squinted her eyes with satisfaction and picked up a piece of lotus cake. Before taking a bite, she suddenly thought of something missing beside her and touched it. The left side was already cold. She looked around half a circle, " My lord, where is Yueying?”

Gu Jue shook his head. He didn't see her black cat when he entered the door.

"Meow!"

A soft meow came from outside the window, seeming to be responding to Chu Qianchen.

A fluffy black ball easily jumped onto the window sill, then flew over Chu Qianchen's desk, kicked off his hind legs, and kicked the brush behind him.

The next moment, the pen washer tipped over and hit the inkstone. The inkstone hit the pen holder with several pens hanging on it. The pen holder also fell down, taking a paperweight with it to the ground. The water in the pen washer fell along the The tabletop of the desk is dripping...

Everything above and below the case was in a mess, which perfectly illustrates how a single move can affect the whole body.

The little black cat landed safely on the beauty's couch, squatted down next to Chu Qianchen, and looked up at her.

It didn't seem to know what good thing it had done. It tilted its head and said "meow", as if to say, why are you calling it?

"Pfft!"

Chu Qianchen looked at the chaos it created. He was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing. His laughter was as clear as a bell.

Gu Jue couldn't help but smile, with a light smile.

The cheerful laughter of the two people was occasionally interspersed with the doubtful "meow" sound of the cat, and the atmosphere was relaxed and warm.

However, Chu Qianchen didn't eat the lotus cake after all. At this time, Hu Huo came hurriedly and said: "Princess, Grandma Chen is here."

The sun was almost setting, and it was almost curfew time. Aunt Chen must have something urgent to come to the palace at this time.

"Bring people in." Chu Qianchen put down the lotus cake and stood up quickly.

The small study suddenly became lively. Hu Bo sent a little maid to greet Nanny Chen, and he came in with two little maids to dress Chu Qianchen.

Time was running out, so Amber only gave Chu Qianchen a simple braid and put a lilac-colored silk flower on the side of her bun.

When Chu Qianchen came from the small study room to the main room, Nanny Chen also happened to arrive under the guidance of Agate, walking in a hurry, her wrinkled face full of anxiety.

Chu Qianchen's heart sank again, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Nanny Chen blessed Chu Qianchen and said hurriedly: "Second aunt, madam, she fell ill, vomited blood, and fell into a coma. I have come here specifically to invite you to visit the Duke's mansion."

Chu Qianchen's expression changed slightly and he clenched the handkerchief tightly.

When Sanchao returned home, she took advantage of the chaos to check Mr. Shen's pulse. There was nothing serious. How could Mr. Shen suddenly become so ill?

Gu Jue walked out from the direction of the small study and said to Chu Qianchen, "Go ahead."

Chu Qianchen immediately asked Hu Huo to prepare the medicine box and carriage, and left the palace as quickly as possible.

Gu Jue did not accompany her, but kept his eyes on Prince Chen's Mansion. Whenever he entered Duke Mu's Mansion, the emperor would be suspicious of him, and Bao Buqi would also be suspicious of Duke Mu.

The capital city was extremely empty in the evening, with smoke curling up from cooking pots along the way. Chu Qianchen's red-wheeled chariot was speeding along without any hindrance.

"Mother Chen," Chu Qianchen in the carriage calmed down and asked with concern, "How is mother's condition? Why did she suddenly vomit blood?" "..." Grandma Chen's brows furrowed even more tightly, her brows furrowed. The word "Chuan" came out, but he hesitated to speak, his eyes were extremely complicated.

Chu Qianchen had some vague ideas in his mind and didn't ask any more questions.

Along the way, the two people in the carriage were relatively speechless. Only the sound of the carriage's wheels and the sound of horse hooves could be heard.

When they arrived at Duke Mu's mansion, the sky was getting darker, and only the last ray of the setting sun was left in the western sky.

People from the Duke's Mansion quickly led Chu Qianchen to Shen's courtyard.

The room was full of sorrow and mist. From the maid and the mother-in-law to Mrs. Mu Guogong and Chu Yunmu, they were all worried.

"Second sister!" Chu Yunmu rushed towards Chu Qianchen, her phoenix eyes watery and red, "Mother, she is vomiting blood... Please help her quickly."

Chu Yunmu's voice was trembling and his face was pale. It wasn't until he saw Chu Qianchen that he finally had a backbone.

The Duke's office sent many people to major medical clinics in the capital to invite famous doctors to diagnose and treat Mr. Shen. Two doctors had just come and talked about "Yin deficiency and liver and gallbladder fever" and "Life is hanging by a thread." " and so on, none of them dared to deal with it. One asked the Duke's office to hire another Gao Ming, and the other directly asked Mrs. Mu Guogong to prepare for the affair quickly. Mrs. Mu Guogong was so angry that she almost beat him out.

Chu Yunmu trotted and pulled Chu Qianchen to Shen's couch.

Ms. Shen lay motionless on the couch, her eyes closed tightly, her face was like gold paper, and her breath was like gossamer. There was a bright red blood stain on the collar and front of her middle coat, which was shockingly red.

Even if Chu Qianchen hadn't checked Shen's pulse yet, he could tell that she was seriously ill.

Chu Qianchen frowned and his face was like water.

The last time she diagnosed Shen's pulse, although she had qi and blood stagnation in her heart, it was just a minor illness and by no means so serious, so she just gave Grandma Chen a sachet. How come her condition took a turn for the worse in just a few days? This is the point!

Mrs. Mu Guogong was sitting on an armchair by the window, holding a handkerchief and wiping the wet corners of her eyes.

Thinking that her eldest daughter would suffer such a catastrophe before she was thirty, Mrs. Mu Guogong felt like her heart was cut by a knife, and a wave of enthusiasm surged in her eyes, fearing that her daughter would not be able to survive it.

She stared blankly in the direction of Chu Qianchen and Shen, with an undercurrent in her eyes that was deeper than the night.

Chu Qianchen didn't bother to salute Mrs. Mu Guogong, and quickly sat down by Shen's couch and called "Mother".

Shen's eyes trembled, the sweat on his forehead became more intense, painful moans came out from his chapped lips, and his breathing was extremely weak, as if it would disappear at any time.

Chu Qianchen pulled Shen's wrist out from under the thin quilt and skillfully checked Shen's pulse with a solemn expression.

The pulse under my finger is very bad...

Seeing that Chu Qianchen didn't speak, Nanny Chen and Dongmei became worried, fearing that Chu Qianchen would also sentence Shen to death.

After Chu Qianchen put away his fingers, he immediately opened the medicine box and took out a silver needle package.

Amber tacitly lit the candle aside.

Chu Qianchen took out a silver needle and heated it with a candle. Then, the first needle was inserted into the Baihui point on Shen's head.

Mrs. Mu Guogong was shocked and shouted: "Stop!"

Baihui point is a big point, it is a fatal point. It can be stabbed casually, it will kill people!

Mrs. Mu Guogong walked quickly towards Shen's couch and wanted to stop her, but it was too late. The silver needle in Chu Qianchen's hand stabbed firmly into Shen's head and twisted it carefully. The silver needle hit him several times before he let go.

Chu Yunmu grabbed Mrs. Mu Guogong and said seriously: "Grandma, the second sister is very powerful! She can definitely save my mother."

However, Chu Yunmu was a five-year-old child, and his words were not convincing at all to Mrs. Mu Guogong's ears.

Mrs. Mu Guogong looked at Chu Qianchen worriedly, and saw that she was stabbing Shen with needle after needle in a steady manner. Almost every needle was inserted into a large acupuncture point that could be fatal, such as Fengfu point, Mingmen point, Yamen acupoint…

Mrs. Mu Guogong wanted to stop him, but she didn't dare to move, for fear that she would disturb Chu Qianchen and make her miss.

Seeing Mrs. Mu Guogong's anxiety, Grandma Chen also advised her: "Don't worry, the princess has very good medical skills."

Mrs. Mu Guogong could not rest assured. She was afraid that if Chu Qianchen kept tossing her like this, her eldest daughter would not even be able to survive the night before the imperial doctor arrived.

Mrs. Mu Guogong took a few steps back, called her maid, and told her to go and see if the imperial doctor had arrived.

Chu Qianchen seemed oblivious to the commotion around him and continued to apply acupuncture with concentration.

The hand that places the needle is as steady as a mountain, yet the weight is as light as a heavy hand.

After a long time, Chu Qianchen finally took the last injection.

This time, she did not finish by repeatedly twisting the needle, but lightly flicked the needle tail.

The silver needle trembled slightly.

The next moment, all the silver needles stuck in Shen's body began to tremble, as if there were air currents invisible to the naked eye walking in Shen's body...

Mrs. Mu Guogong was shocked.

She has lived for half her life and is the wife of a first-class Duke. She has seen countless famous doctors. Many of the doctors in the Imperial Hospital have some friendship with Duke Mu. I am afraid that none of the doctors can have such wonderful acupuncture skills.

She looked straight at Shen on the couch, and saw with her own eyes that her originally painful expression gradually calmed down, and her originally lifeless face was ignited with life again.

Is my daughter saved? !

Mrs. Mu Guogong's eyes widened with joy. When she looked at Chu Qianchen, her eyes became more complex, with some joy, some surprise, some admiration, some sadness, and more confusion.

The set of acupuncture just now was extremely labor-intensive, and Chu Qianchen also sweated a little. Amber quickly wiped her sweat with a handkerchief.

Chu Yunmu kept his eyes fixed on Shen without blinking.

After a moment, he shouted excitedly: "Second sister, my mother's face looks better. Is she okay?"

The silver needles on Shen's body were still trembling slightly, her face was no longer so pale, and her breathing had become steady, although her eyes were still closed and she hadn't woken up yet.

Chu Qianchen felt Shen's pulse again, and his eyebrows relaxed, "Mother is fine."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. Nanny Chen and Dongmei both wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads with their sleeves.

Chu Yunmu's pretty little face also had a bright look, and he said: "I knew that the second sister could definitely save my mother!"

The atmosphere in the room relaxed, the previous gloom was gone, and everyone had smiles on their faces again.

After a while, those silver needles all stopped and remained motionless on Shen's body.

Chu Qianchen took away Shen's needles again, and every needle he pulled out was clean, leaving no trace of blood. There were no pinholes on Shen's body, and there were no symptoms of discomfort.

Mrs. Mu Guogong was so shocked that she could not speak. She was simply amazed.

She thought of something, and quickly summoned another maid, asking her to reward all the other doctors with red envelopes and send them away.

At the same time, Chu Qianchen borrowed some pen and ink, confidently prescribed a prescription, and asked people to get the medicine quickly.

At this time, a little maid from the Duke's mansion came to report that the Duke was here.

There were differences between men and women, and it was not convenient for Mu Guogong to come in, so he could only wait outside the screen.

Chu Qianchen stood up and walked around the screen with Mrs. Mu Guogong, leaving only Chu Yunmu, Nanny Chen and the maids to look after Mrs. Shen.

Duke Mu's eyes looked at Chu Qianchen with a somewhat complicated look. He had already heard the maid talk about Chu Qianchen's treatment of Shen's illness, and he bowed his hands in thanks and said, "I'm sorry for bothering you, Princess."

Chu Qianchen congratulated Duke Mu gracefully, "You are so polite, Duke Mu. This is what I should do."

Mu Guogong stopped being polite and asked worriedly: "Why did your mother suddenly..."

Chu Qianchen's eyes were dark, "Mother, she has been depressed these days. She has lost blood and energy, she is tired and weak. In addition, she has been stimulated by something, and she is anxious and angry..."

Obviously, her mother's illness was not that serious when she returned home, so the sachet she gave her should be able to relieve her symptoms.

Stimulated? Duke Mu looked at his wife in confusion. He had gone out early in the morning and did not leave the palace until the palace door was locked. He still didn't know what happened in the Duke's mansion today.

Mrs. Mu Guogong glanced at Chu Qianchen and said in a low voice: "Zhi Ke Monk just brought him back to the house."

"..." Mu Guogong's eyes suddenly opened wide, frightened and confused, and he asked Mrs. Mu Guogong with his eyes.

Could it be said that it was confirmed?

He couldn't help but look at Chu Qianchen again, his eyes became darker and his lips tightened.

Mrs. Mu Guogong understood her husband's eyes and just shook her head, indicating with her eyes that it was not convenient to talk here.

Although Mrs. Mu Guogong was not sure, Mu Guogong knew about this matter at least eight out of ten, otherwise his daughter would be so angry that she would vomit blood.

Duke Mu's heart felt like a huge stone was pressing down on him, and he couldn't breathe. It was he who had harmed his eldest daughter in her life.

"mother!"

"Madam!"

Excited shouts from behind the screen broke the silence on this side.

Mrs. Mu Guogong quickly walked around the screen and went in to see her daughter. Chu Qianchen also went in.

Mrs. Shen opened her eyes. Chu Yunmu held one of her hands firmly and said happily: "Mom, you scared me!"

Mrs. Shen held her son's hand instead, and her eyes gradually became clear from the chaos of just waking up.

She felt that the suffocation that had been pressing on her chest for the past few days was gone. It was like she was reborn from the ashes, and her whole body felt relaxed.

Her mouth opened slightly, but before she could say anything, she heard a smiling female voice coming from the side of the couch: "Mother."

The voice is so familiar, so gentle.

Shen raised her eyes and met a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes.

"Sister Chen..." Shen called out in a low voice, his voice a little hoarse.

Shen's eyes flashed with a little sadness, a little powerlessness, a little sadness...and more of guilt. For a moment, these emotions surged to the highest peak, and then quickly subsided.

She told herself that the girl in front of her was the most important, and couldn't help but call softly: "Sister Chen."

Chu Qianchen said "hmm" and checked Shen's pulse again. The pulse condition had improved a little. This stage had been passed, but Shen still needed to take care of her body in the future.

"Mom, the soup will be ready in a while, you must take it obediently." Chu Qianchen warned.

Chu Yunmu immediately said: "Second sister, don't worry, I will keep an eye on mother."

"If mother disobeys you, I will send someone to tell you!"

Chu Qianchen rubbed Chu Yunmu's head and gave him one word: "Be good."

Mrs. Shen kept staring at Chu Qianchen's face for a moment.

It was as if something was rolling fiercely in her eyes, ready to surge out at any moment.
