Chapter 200 200 Talisman Water

Shen was relieved to hear that Chu Qianchen was not bullied by the queen, but her brows were still slightly frowned.

The object of her dissatisfaction was not only the queen, but also the dowager.

The queen went to Prince Chen's mansion in such a grand manner, and kept saying that she would make the maid she gave her a concubine. However, as Chu Qianchen's biological grandmother, the queen did not say a word to her granddaughter at all, and still relied on The status of elder comes to suppress her.

Of course Mrs. Shen knew the intention of Mrs. Tai.

As a daughter of the Chu family, it was natural for her to be married into a well-matched family and to contribute to the family.

The mansions of noble clans and nobles in Beijing were also like this, so Shen had to marry into the Yongding Marquis Mansion for her father's consent, so when necessary, the princess had to marry in a foreign country.

While a person enjoys the blessing of his family, he must also contribute something to his family.

But Chu Qianchen was different.

As soon as Chu Qianchen was born, she was transferred by Chu Lingxiao, so that she could be trained by Jiang Minshan since she was a child. Over the years, not only did the Chu family not do anything for Chu Qianchen, but they still owed Chu Qianchen.

But just like that, Madam Tai actually felt that Chu Qianchen should dedicate himself to the Chu family!

Shen closed her eyes, suppressed the anger in her heart, held Chu Qianchen's hand and praised: "Sister Chen, you did the right thing, ignore your grandmother!"

Although my daughter is young, she can think more clearly than some people who have lived for more than half their lives.

"That's right." Chu Qianchen boasted, took the tea cup from Dong Mei, and served tea to Shen himself.

Shen raised her hand, gently stroked Chu Qianchen's cheek, and said seriously: "Sister Chen, I'm afraid the queen won't give up just like that..."

Behind the queen is the emperor. The emperor is too afraid of King Chen and will never die down just because of one or two defeats.

Now that Prince Chen is not in the capital, this is the emperor's best chance to suppress Prince Chen's palace.

Chu Qianchen naturally understood.

To the emperor, Prince Chen's Mansion was originally like an iron barrel, but now her existence was like an iron barrel that suddenly had a crack. She became the weakness of Prince Chen's Mansion and a breakthrough in the eyes of the emperor.

However, Chu Qianchen was not worried at all. In the last life, she might have been the weakness of Prince Chen's palace, but now she was definitely not.

"It doesn't matter." Chu Qianchen said confidently, his phoenix eyes shining like gems.

Shen just reminded Chu Qianchen and did not continue to persuade her. She knew that this girl knew what she was thinking.

Thinking that Chu Qianchen had just come out of the palace, she asked, "You haven't had lunch yet, have you?"

Without waiting for Chu Qianchen to answer, Shen ordered Dongmei to tell her a series of dish names, all of which were Chu Qianchen's favorite dishes.

Chu Qianchen felt warm in his heart and said, "I used it when I was with my mother in the palace. Mother, don't always remember me. I will take good care of you. You have to be good to yourself."

Chu Qianchen also deliberately sued Mrs. Chu just now. She had made up her mind to sue the mother and son from time to time, and then took the opportunity to persuade Shen Zhi to reconcile.

Mrs. Shen understood, but she ignored him and said, "My body is healed. I don't believe you can take my pulse."

Chu Qianchen really felt Shen's pulse and nodded slightly: "That's right, I haven't stayed up late recently."

Grandma Wang couldn't help laughing as she watched from the sidelines. The positions of mother and daughter seemed to be reversed.

In Chu Qianchen's half-smiling eyes, Shen changed the topic abruptly and turned the conversation to Gu Zhiyan, "I visited Qiniang a few days ago. Your third aunt said that she took the drug that day After taking Fu Shui, the fever subsided after a good sleep, and I’m fine. I just don’t like to go out these days.”

"Your aunt felt sorry for her and gave her two little kittens that were just one month old to raise. One of them is very similar to your moon."

Sisters Shen and Shen Wan have always been close and talk about everything. In private, the two sisters also said some personal words, and Shen Wan lamented a few words:

"Sister, hey, I see how cautious Sister Huang is now. She still has the grandeur of the eldest girl of the Chu family back then. The fact that she can run for Qiniang shows that her nature is not bad."

"After all, it's a child raised by you yourself, eldest sister. How can his nature be bad... She may have just been stunned by this incident, and that's possible."

Shen Wan didn't say much, just sighed casually three or four sentences.

But it still had some influence on Shen, making her feel more complicated every time she thought about Chu Qianhuang.

Mrs. Shen took a sip of tea and added: "After Qiniang was frightened, I asked your grandmother to find someone to investigate this matter. Sister Huang happened to bump into this matter on the street that day. It was such a coincidence that she appeared..."

In addition, the timing of the Fu Shui was even better, as if he had been prepared for it. The combination of all the coincidences made Shen have to think more.

In the past, Mrs. Shen would never have doubted Chu Qianhuang, but now, she had to speculate on the child with the greatest malice.

People from the Duke's Mansion went out to Manchun Tower to investigate the matter, and they investigated it more carefully than Shen Wan.

The results found were similar to those found by Grandma Rong.

Furong did suffer from Hualiu disease, but she was not driven away by Manchun Tower, but escaped on her own. Originally, the madam planned to sell Furong to a brothel at a low price.

The old madam also said that after Furong escaped, she also sent people to search the town, but they couldn't find anyone, so they gave up. Furong was sick and couldn't sell it for much money.

When people from Prince Jing's Mansion went to investigate, the madam was afraid of causing trouble, so she said they were the ones who drove Furong away.

Chu Qianhuang happened to be passing by there that day. She went to Duke Mu's mansion, but went back before going in. On the way back, she sat in a teahouse and happened to see Qiniang running there alone.

Mrs. Shen roughly told Chu Qianchen all these things.

Shen Wan has always believed in these gods and goddesses since she was diagnosed with Qiniang's disease. She bought all kinds of talismans and performed religious rituals. Sometimes they worked, sometimes they didn't. Shen had long been used to it.

Originally, Mrs. Shen wanted to tell Chu Qianchen as soon as something happened to Qiniang. However, Chu Qianchen was busy studying in the middle school and taking care of the housework in those days. She had just left the family and it was not easy for her to gain a foothold in her husband's family. Later, Qi Qianchen My mother's fever was gone and everything was fine, so Shen didn't say anything more.

Chu Qianchen asked thoughtfully: "What about Fu Shui?"

Mrs. Shen also checked about Fu Shui and gave Dongmei a look to tell her.

Dongmei replied: "Princess, I personally went to Wuwei to investigate. It is indeed where the eldest girl asked for the talisman water. The little Taoist priest over there said that the third princess's illness was indeed cured by the Taoist priest Zhixuan." Yes, but the master of the temple has kept their mouth shut and they are not allowed to talk about it in private. It should have been explained by the Queen."

For a Taoist temple, curing the third princess's illness is a great merit worth bragging about. If it weren't for the fear of the emperor and the empress, Wuwei Temple would not be so low-key.

When the little Taoist priest told Dongmei, he felt aggrieved. He felt that their Taoist Master Zhixuan was much more capable than Taoist Master Xuanjing, but Wuweiguan was not as famous and popular as Yuanqingguan.

Chu Qianchen thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I want to visit Qiniang."

She also wanted to see the so-called talisman water. Qiniang's illness was unusual, it was a heart disease. She believed that there were gods and Buddhas above the nine heavens, but there were more people in this world who were pretending to be gods and ghosts. She had lived for two lives and had seen many There are countless illnesses and prescriptions, but I have never seen such "effective" talisman water.

Chu Qianchen said it was wind or rain, and wanted to go to Jingjun Prince's Mansion immediately, but Shen stopped him funny.

"There's no rush. We'll leave after lunch. What Qiniang has is not an emergency."

As a result, Chu Qianchen, under Shen's persuasion, changed out of his heavy makeup, put on new clothes, and put on a lighter hairstyle.

This was not the first time that Mrs. Shen had given Chu Qianchen clothes. Chu Qianchen didn’t pay attention at first, until after the mother and daughter got on the Zhulun Car, she accidentally noticed that there were several marks of needle **** on Mrs. Shen’s left finger. , my mind moved.

She originally thought that the clothes she was wearing were clothes that Shen had never worn before, but now she noticed that the clothes were probably newly made, and did not have the smell of camphor wood that had been stored in the camphor wood box for many years, so the materials were brand new.

Shen made this for her personally.

This was the first time she got clothes sewn by her mother.

"Mom," she smiled and leaned on Shen's shoulder, "your hands are so skillful! My nvhong is not good..."

As she said that, she touched her head again. Her bun was also combed by Shen himself. It was obviously just a bun, but it was much more delicate than her.

Mrs. Shen straightened the pink velvet flowers on her temples, "If you want to learn, I will teach you next time."

"But the palace has a sewing room, so you don't have to do everything yourself. Occasionally, you can just do some sewing for Prince Chen."

Chu Qianchen responded obediently, while Amber couldn't say anything. She really couldn't bear to tell Mrs. Shen that their palace actually didn't have a sewing room.

In the whispers of the mother and daughter, Prince Jingjun's mansion arrived.

Shen came here temporarily. Strictly speaking, it was a bit rude, but she was the eldest sister of the princess. No one in the prince's palace would care about this at all. The servant immediately went to report to Shen Wan happily.

Shen and Chu Qianchen were led to the main courtyard of the palace.

"Sister Chen, you are really thoughtful." Shen Wan took one of Chu Qianchen's hands and smiled affectionately.

She only thought that Chu Qianchen accidentally learned about Gu Zhiyan from Mrs. Shen, so she came to the Prince's Mansion to visit Gu Zhiyan.

Chu Qianchen smiled slightly and said, "Qiniang is my cousin."

Shen Wan has always dealt with people based on subjective preferences. In the past, she felt that Chu Qianchen was thoughtful and disliked everything about her. But it was different now. The more she looked at Chu Qianchen, the more she liked her.

"Qiniang must be happy to know that you came to see her. She is inside." The smile on Shen Wan's face deepened, and she took Chu Qianchen and Shen to the Bisha cabinet at the back.

Incense is lit in the corner, and the green shade outside the window shines into the room, making it cool and comfortable.

Gu Zhiyan, who was wearing a pink robe, was sitting on the couch. She had lost a lot of weight, which made her big eyes bigger and darker, but they were a little dull and dull.

Mrs. Shen felt extremely distressed, "Qiniang looks thinner than me when she was last time."

Shen Wan frowned and said, "She has had a bad appetite these days, and she didn't eat a few bites of lunch."

"Auntie, sister." Gu Zhiyan called to Shen and Chu Qianchen obediently.

The little girl looked obviously in low spirits and wilted, like a little flower that lacked water, which made the adults feel even more pity for her.

If Fu Rong was still alive, Shen Wan would really like to kill her with his own hands. Let her die so lightly and skillfully. It would be too easy for her!

Mrs. Shen pulled Shen Wan to sit by the window, deliberately diverting her sister's attention: "Awan, have you not slept well these days? Look at you, it's dark under your eyes..."

Shen Wan touched her face and sighed, "I'm worried that Qiniang won't be able to sleep well at night."

She really hadn't had a good rest these past few days and was always worried about her daughter. Although her daughter was taken care of by a wet nurse and a maid, she was still worried and got up at least twice in the middle of the night to check on her daughter.

Shen taught: "Qiniang is sick, so you should pay more attention to your health."

In fact, everyone understands these principles, but no one can be so rational when things happen to themselves and the people they care about.

Chu Qianchen glanced at their sisters and then silently withdrew his gaze.

She knew that Mrs. Shen did not tell Shen Wan that she was the miracle doctor of Jishi Hall, and she did not tell even Duke Mu and his wife, although she vaguely felt that his wife had already made a guess.

The other party didn't ask, so Chu Qianchen didn't say anything, so now, she won't take the initiative to say it.

The emperor's fear of the prince was too deep. For the emperor, it was only a small matter to marry an uncontrollable concubine of the prince's family to the prince, but it was completely different to marry a miracle doctor to the prince. The latter was probably... It would also irritate the emperor, make him suspicious, and even do something beyond reason.

When it comes to the prince, Chu Qianchen would rather have one less thing than one more thing.

Chu Qianchen walked to Gu Zhiyan's couch and sat down. She first touched Gu Zhiyan's forehead, then felt her pulse without leaving any trace, and frowned slightly.

She carefully observed Gu Zhiyan's complexion, rubbed her head, and asked with a smile: "Qiniang, do you miss me?"

Gu Zhiyan blinked first and then slowly replied: "I think so!" "Did you sleep well last night?" Chu Qianchen asked again.

Gu Zhiyan lowered his eyes, his eyes wandered for a moment, and his expression was slightly dull.

Chu Qianchen didn't rush her, and complained with a smile: "I didn't get enough sleep last night, and now I still want to yawn."

Gu Zhiyan waited for her to finish speaking, then whispered: "Sister, I have a nightmare..." She shrank.

Chu Qianchen took off a sachet from his waist and stuffed it into Gu Zhiyan's hand.

Gu Zhiyan grabbed Chu Qianchen's hand with one hand and squeezed the sachet tightly with the other, as if she had something to rely on.

Watching the interaction between the two cousins, Shen Wan relaxed a little and thought: Qiniang really likes her cousin Chen.

Mrs. Shen was also paying attention to the movements of Chu Qianchen and Gu Zhiyan, and asked, "Awan, how are Qiniang these two days?"

Her words were also asked for Chu Qianchen's benefit.

Shen Wan showed a slightly bitter smile, "Her fever has gone away and it doesn't relapse anymore, but I see that Qiniang is not as lively as before these days, and I can't even say a word when I ask her for a long time. , very quiet, just like yesterday, except for calling me, he didn’t say a word. "

"I was thinking about taking Qiniang to Wuwei Temple tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to ask."

Shen Wan was convinced that the talisman water was useful. The day before yesterday, Chu Qianhuang sent the talisman water again to Gu Zhiyan. After drinking it, Gu Zhiyan obviously slept much more peacefully the night before and looked more energetic during the day.

Shen frowned slightly and glanced at Chu Qianchen, feeling that her sister was sick and urgently sought medical treatment.

However, Chu Qianchen didn't take the initiative to say that she was the miracle doctor of Jishi Hall, and Shen couldn't say either.

Prince Jing is a member of the clan. Although the clan has noble blood, it also determines their position. Most of the clan members in the Da Qi Dynasty are seeking comfort and are royalists. Even if she trusts her biological sister, she cannot trust her biological sister as much as she does. Trust your brother-in-law like that.

Everyone has their own selfish motives, and the status of Jingjun Prince's Palace is too embarrassing.

Chu Qianchen suddenly interrupted and asked: "Aunt, I heard that my eldest sister asked Qiniang for talisman water..."

Shen Wan quickly explained: "Yes, that day I asked a doctor who specializes in pediatrics to see Qiniang. Not only did she not feel better after taking the decoction, but her fever became worse. Fortunately, Sister Huang came, and she never stopped watching. The talisman water came over and after taking it, Qiniang's fever went away. She was afraid that Qiniang's illness would relapse, so she sent some talisman water the day before yesterday."

Shen Wan was not only worried that Chu Qianchen had a grudge against Chu Qianhuang, but also worried that Chu Qianchen would misunderstand that she was biased towards Chu Qianhuang, so she only said a few hasty words.

Chu Qianchen's eyes flashed and he winked at Shen.

Mrs. Shen immediately understood what she meant and made an excuse: "Awan, I have something to tell you. Let the two cousins ​​play here."

Today is different from the past. Now Shen Wan is very relieved about Chu Qianchen.

Shen Wan followed Shen out without saying a word.

Shen Wan left, but the wet nurse was still there.

Chu Qianchen smiled and said: "Qiniang, I'm hungry, are you hungry?"

She squeezed Gu Zhiyan's little hand, as if she was coquettishly treating her.

Gu Zhiyan nodded obediently.

The wet nurse's eyes lit up and she suggested consciously: "Princess, County Master, slaves, please go get some preserved egg chicken, silkworm rice porridge and xiaolongbao, okay?"

Chu Qianchen just wanted to get rid of the wet nurse, so he added two more things: "Two more bowls of wontons and some osmanthus and millet cakes."

The wet nurse responded with a smile, feeling that Princess Chen was still more powerful and could coax the county lord to eat.

The wet nurse quickly stepped back. Amber saw Chu Qianchen's intention and went to guard outside the Bisha cupboard.

When only the two of them were left in the Bisha cupboard, Chu Qianchen took out his needle bag and the fire seal. After baking the silver needles with the fire seal, he said with a smile: "Qiniang, can I give you acupuncture?" ?”

Gu Zhiyan nodded obediently.

Chu Qianchen said: "Close your eyes."

Gu Zhiyan nodded first and then closed his eyes.

Chu Qianchen inserted needles into several large acupuncture points on Gu Zhiyan's head with quick movements. After inserting the last needle, he flicked the tail of the needle, and the silver needle trembled and buzzed.

Gu Zhiyan seemed to feel something, and his eyes rolled slightly under his closed eyelids.

She still remembered Chu Qianchen's instructions and did not open her eyes.

Chu Qianchen noticed it and smiled: "Open your eyes."

Gu Zhiyan opened her eyes and shouted again: "Sister."

This sister's voice is obviously much clearer and softer than the previous one, and her black and white eyes have become clearer, and their eyes are a little more agile.

It was like a veil covering her eyes was suddenly lifted.

Soon, the needles on Gu Zhiyan's head stopped vibrating.

Chu Qianchen said again: "Don't move, I will remove the needle for you."

Gu Zhiyan had seen Chu Qianchen giving people acupuncture several times in Jishi Hall, but this was the first time he saw her giving him acupuncture. He watched her take out the acupuncture without blinking. The curious look on his face made Chu Qianchen think. I caught my own moon shadow.

After Chu Qianchen pulled out the needle, he rubbed the top of the little girl's hair and praised, "Good boy!"

Gu Zhiyan touched his head curiously, feeling very interesting.

It doesn't hurt at all.

"Sister, you are so awesome!" Gu Zhiyan praised sincerely.

At this time, the wet nurse came back with the food box and entered the room with Amber. She happened to hear these words and was startled.

The wet nurse looked at Gu Zhiyan carefully and felt that the county master seemed to be more energetic than before she left.

The county leader really likes Princess Chen! The wet nurse sighed again in her heart and said with a smile: "Princess, County Lord, the porridge and snacks have been brought."

A table was spread with porridge, wontons and snacks. The chefs in this county palace were really good at cooking, and they were all delicious and delicious.

When Shen Wan heard that her daughter wanted to eat, she was overjoyed and came to smell the fragrance.

Gu Zhiyan loves sweets and ate several extra pieces of sweet shredded fresh lotus root and sweet-scented osmanthus millet cake. Shen Yuan beamed with joy and personally picked out several pieces of shredded fresh lotus root for her daughter.

The little girl still didn't talk much. She only pointed out what she wanted to eat with her fingers and refused to make a sound, but her appearance was obviously much more lively than before.

After the meal, Shen Wan coaxed her daughter to rinse her mouth, wipe her face, and tentatively suggested: "Qiniang, do you want to play with your cousin on the rope?"

"want!"

Gu Zhiyan nodded immediately.

The cousins ​​played one game after another impatiently, until the sun set and Chu Qianchen had to say goodbye, Gu Zhiyan still had more to say.

She reluctantly pulled Chu Qianchen's skirt, which almost turned into her little tail, and led him straight to the red wheel.

Chu Qianchen said with a smile: "I'll come see you again in a few days, okay?"

Gu Zhiyan lowered his eyes and nodded, but his hands were still holding Chu Qianchen's skirt.

"..." Shen Wan believed that if he put his daughter on Chu Qianchen's Zhulun cart, her daughter would not resist at all.

Chu Qianchen said again: "Can I bring Yueying to see you next time?"

Gu Zhiyan hesitantly pinched the ring on Chu Qianchen's waist again, and finally let go of it aggrievedly.

Seeing her daughter like this, Shen Wan felt that her heart was about to melt. She really wanted to leave Chu Qianchen behind, but she still remembered Chu Qianchen's current identity, so she just comforted her daughter and said, "Don't worry, your cousin Keep your word.”

After Chu Qianchen hooked up with Gu Zhiyan, he followed Shen to the Zhulun Car.

The carriage drove out of Jingjun Prince's Mansion. Only when no one could be seen behind and no Prince Jing's Mansion could be seen, Mrs. Shen carefully asked the sentence that had been hidden in her heart for a while: "Sister Chen, is Fu Shui... Have a problem?"

It was extremely difficult for her to ask this question. In her heart, she didn't want Fu Shui to have any problems.

Chu Qianchen shook his head.

Hearing this, Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, she had raised Chu Qianhuang for so many years. The relationship between mother and daughter could not be abandoned. She hoped that the daughter she raised would not be so bad.

The Zhulun chariot drove forward smoothly. It first went to Duke Mu's Mansion and sent Shen back, and then set off on its way back to Prince Chen's Mansion.

The carriage was quiet for a while, and then Chu Qianchen told Jiang Yuan, "Jiang Yuan, ask someone to disguise himself and go to Wuwei Temple to ask for some talisman water. Remember not to let anyone see the clues."

Jiang Yuan accepted the order without saying a word and decided that she would go there in person.

Chu Qianchen said nothing. She knew in her heart that there must be something wrong with the talisman water Chu Qianhuang gave Gu Zhiyan, but it was not the kind of poison that could harm people.

This talisman water is really strange and magical.

It should be said that it is a bit "excessive" magic.

In the carriage, it became completely silent, and there was no more sound.

Amber was confused. She felt that Chu Qianchen should not lie to Shen, but she would not do useless things. Since Chu Qianchen gave such an order, there must be her reason. It seemed that Gu Zhiyan drank the talisman There is probably something fishy in the water.

Before nightfall completely fell, Jiang Yuan hurried back to Prince Chen's Mansion from Wuweiguan and brought back the talisman water that Chu Qianchen wanted.

After Chu Qianchen personally tasted the Fu Shui, after tasting it for a while, he suddenly asked: "The day after tomorrow is August 22nd, right?"

Amber nodded, and immediately guessed what Chu Qianchen was thinking, and said: "Counting the days, the eldest girl should have a rest the day after tomorrow."

Just as Hu Hu guessed, she followed Chu Qianchen out the morning the day after tomorrow.

Then, they "encountered" Chu Qianhuang in Yunting Pavilion.

"Big sister."

This time, Chu Qianchen took the initiative to call Chu Qianhuang.
