Chapter 302 Chapter 302 Radical Cure

Prince Li said it was his, but Gu Jue just drank tea quietly without comment.

He was wearing a loose moon-white Taoist robe, and his black hair was tied loosely with silk ribbons of the same color, half draped and half loose. He looked a little more lazy and comfortable than the way he looked at Jingjun Prince's Mansion during the day.

Wisps of green smoke rose from the white porcelain lotus incense burner next to it, like plums and orchids, clear and light, filling the room.

Prince Li was frothing at the mouth, feeling a little thirsty, so he took a sip of Dahongpao, sipping the tea in his mouth, smelling the elegant incense in his nose, feeling in his heart that Gu Jue really knows how to enjoy it.

The tea is good, and even the incense is top-notch. Everything in this study is exquisite.

Prince Li drank sip after sip, and after drinking about half a cup of tea, he put down the tea cup, his face straightened, and continued: "If we reject the marriage between the two countries at the beginning, then that's it. But they all talked about it. Everyone knows this step, and we must not go back on it, we must continue, either the three princesses, or choose one from the clan to be the princess like the previous dynasty. "

"It's the Hao Kingdom, I'm afraid they won't agree so easily..."

After all, the two countries had agreed at the beginning that Daqi would marry the princess born to the queen to the Hao Kingdom. Now, if they just want to marry a princess to the Hao Kingdom's prince, I'm afraid Hao Emperor Wuhaduluo won't agree.

As he spoke, Prince Li sighed, frowned tightly, and couldn't help but ask: "Ajue, what do you think we should do about this matter?"

Gu Jue sipped the hot tea gracefully, still just smiling and saying nothing.

"..." Prince Li was a little impulsive when he asked the question just now. After the words came out, he also felt that it was inappropriate. It was not convenient for Gu Jue to ask this question.

Prince Li coughed twice, and after complaining, he felt much happier, and then he finally revealed the real purpose of his visit: "Ajue, what did you ask your steward to send to the palace last time... cough... and the ointment? ”

He still didn't have the nerve to say the word "dog skin".

"Ah Jue, I have been suffering from cold legs for many years. It's common for me to suffer from pain that makes me unable to sleep all night on rainy, snowy and cloudy days. Every doctor at the Imperial Hospital has tried to treat me, but they are all helpless. "

"Originally, I heard that there was a miracle doctor in Jishi Hall, and I wanted to see it, but the emperor..."

Prince Li shook his head helplessly.

Over the past six months or so, the emperor's temper has become increasingly irritable, like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, and he has done many unreasonable things.

Gu Jue waved his hand to his servant Jingfeng and ordered: "You have someone go to the princess's place to get some ointment for the emperor's uncle."

Jingfeng took the order and retreated.

Prince Li smiled so hard that the wrinkles on his face squeezed together like chrysanthemums, and even today's fatigue was swept away.

"Ah Jue," Prince Li said affectionately, "Where did you get this dog...cough...ointment? Do you have enough for yourself?"

"Northland." Gu Jue said with a smile.

Prince Li had no doubt about this, stroking his beard with a smile on his face.

He also guessed this in his mind. The North was cold and war-torn for many years. It was not unusual to have a doctor who was good at treating injuries such as falls and bones.

What really surprised Prince Li was that when Gu Jue mentioned "Princess" just now, the boy's expression and tone were obviously softer than usual. He actually liked his little princess.

Prince Li thought of Gu Jue's little princess whom he had just met at Jingjun Palace. She was a good-looking little girl with a good temperament. She was a very well-behaved little girl.

"Ajue, when you have time, let your princess come to my house to walk around more. I will ask your aunt to take her around." Prince Li said with a bright smile.

Prince Li has good intentions. Gu Jue, this kid, has always been a bit unruly and aloof, no matter in the past or now. He himself is too lazy to socialize with others, so he just stays in Prince Chen's mansion all day long. However, his little princess cannot imitate him all day long. She should be locked up in Prince Chen's Mansion. The days are long and she should go out and recognize someone.

Princess Chen should look like Princess Chen.

Gu Jue had a smile on his lips but said nothing.

Looking at Gu Jue's unfathomable look now, Prince Li often felt as if he had lived in another world. People say that women have changed 18 times, but according to him, this man has changed 19 times.

The young man who once wore bright clothes and angry horses has now grown into a man who can compete with the imperial power.

It turns out that Gu Jue and the emperor were both legitimate sons of the late emperor. If the brothers worked together, they would be as powerful as gold. If the brothers could work together, the Qi Dynasty would surely prosper, but the emperor couldn't tolerate Gu Jue...

Prince Li felt a sigh of relief in his heart. He felt that Gu Jue should understand what he meant, so he stopped talking and said nothing more.

Prince Li also picked up the tea cup, took another sip of tea, and continued to praise the dog skin ointment with a smile: "Ajue, that ointment is really amazing. The first time I used the ointment, I only applied a cup of tea, and it was all gone." It doesn’t hurt anymore!”

"I don't know how many medicines I have used and how many methods I have tried, but none of them worked..."

While Prince Li was pouring out his effusive words, Jingfeng came back holding a wooden box the size of a bowl.

As soon as he saw the familiar wooden box, Prince Li's words suddenly stopped in mid-sentence, as if his eyes were shining when he saw some rare treasure.

Under the burning eyes of Prince Li, Jingfeng held the wooden box to Prince Li and said: "Your Majesty...Prince Li, as long as you use this ointment for seven more days, your old cold leg should be cured."

Prince Li happily took the wooden box and made a few false promises, but in fact, he didn't really believe it.

His legs have been cold for more than ten years, and it would be great if they don't hurt anymore.

A radical cure? He couldn't even think about it.

But the dog skin ointment is still very good. As he said just now, the effect of this ointment is immediate.

Prince Li held the wooden box and couldn't bear to let go. Seeing that the curfew was about to begin, he hurriedly left: "Ajue, I'll leave first."

Prince Li happily left Prince Chen's Mansion with the dog-skin plaster, thinking about letting his princess take Chu Qianchen around.

That night, as soon as Prince Li returned to Prince Li's mansion, he urged Princess Li to post a post.

So, early the next morning, Chu Qianchen received a post.

The red post was very beautifully and delicately made. There were tiny plum blossoms printed with gold foil on the post. It seemed like someone had sprinkled a piece of golden plum blossom from the upper left corner of the post.

The post sparkled in a few rays of sunlight.

Chu Qianchen pinched the post with a puzzled look on his face, read the content of the post, and looked at the signature.

"You should be rejected." Gu Jue on the side said softly.

He knew that this girl was the most impatient of socializing. When Prince Li said it, he had no intention of agreeing, but he didn't expect that this emperor's uncle would be like he was when he was young.

"Meow?" The little black cat curled up lazily on the coffee table between Gu Jue and Chu Qianchen. Under the sun, its pupils shrank to a thin line, and its green cat eyes stared curiously at the shiny thing in Chu Qianchen's hand. The glowing posts seem to be about to pounce on them at any moment.

"Your Majesty, I'm bored anyway, so just let me go." Chu Qianchen held the post and shook it. The pair of green cat eyes next to him also followed the post and turned back and forth, eyes widening.

Chu Qianchen stared at Gu Jue without blinking. His delicate skin shone like pearls in the sun, and his face was as delicate as a hibiscus, which added to his beauty.

"OK?"

She then threw the post aside, pinched Gu Jue's sleeves with her hands as usual, and smiled coquettishly, showing a bit of the coquettishness of a little daughter.

Gu Jue: "..."

"Meow!"

The little black cat couldn't help but push off its two hind legs and pounced towards the post. The cat's body was so light that it jumped high and far, drawing an elegant arc in mid-air.

However, its hind legs accidentally kicked the fruit bowl, and the fruit bowl hit the white porcelain teapot inside...

Gu Jue and Chu Qianchen moved almost at the same time, and in tacit agreement, one took the teapot and the other caught the five green dates that fell from the fruit bowl.

Everything happened in a flash of lightning, and Amber beside him couldn't react at all. He saw that a "shattered peace" that was almost about to happen was resolved by the two masters gently and deftly. He almost applauded them.

The little black cat didn't notice this at all. Its two paws like wearing white gloves had already pounced on its "prey", and its hook-like sharp claws stretched out from between its claws, scratching it "swipe". Here comes that post.

Little Yueying is not that kind of kitten that likes to cause trouble on purpose. It is just playful and ignores others when it is excited. Its two owners are already used to it.

Gu Jue and Chu Qianchen silently returned the things in their hands to their respective places. They looked at each other and smiled, and an indescribable tacit understanding flowed silently between them.

Chu Qianchen put the green dates back into the fruit bowl one by one, leaving only the last green date in his hand. He wiped it with a frosty white handkerchief, and then brought it to Gu Jue's lips.

"Is it okay?" Chu Qianchen asked again in a soft voice.

Gu Jue opened his thin lips slightly and took a bite on the jujube, "click", the jujube was crisp and sweet.

His thin lips were soft, and they inadvertently brushed against Chu Qianchen's tender fingertips. Chu Qianchen felt a slight tremor in her fingertips, and an indescribable numbness spread rapidly, making her subconsciously retract her hand. He also took back the green date that he bitten.

"Okay." Gu Jue swallowed the green dates, his Adam's apple moved, and looked at her with a warm and gentle smile.

It was completely different from the cold and distant look when they first met in March.

Chu Qianchen couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, his heart was soft, as if it was a pool of spring water, and was enchanting.

For a moment, Chu Qianchen felt as if she had returned to her previous life. She blinked, and a voice in her heart told her that it was different. There seemed to be something different in his eyes from her previous life.

Chu Qianchen unconsciously finished the green dates that Gu Jue had bitten, one bite after another, like a little squirrel holding a pine cone.

Gu Jue looked at her with gentler eyes. He also grabbed a green date and took another bite.

Two days later, Chu Qianchen took the post with a few suspicious claw marks and went to Prince Li's Mansion as invited. Princess Li specially invited some female members of the clan and noble families to accompany her.

In her previous life, Chu Qianchen, who was still a concubine, had stayed in the Yongding Marquis Mansion as a concubine, never leaving home and rarely socializing with the female relatives in the capital, until she was expelled from the Chu family the following year.

After that, she followed Gu Jue, and even the gift of a hairpin was just that Gu Jue gave her a hairpin crown and gave her a hairpin.

And later…

She left the capital, stayed dormant with Qin Yao for a few years, and then sent troops to the capital together. Therefore, she was very familiar with those civil and military officials who were still standing in the court five or six years later, but she knew nothing about the female relatives in the capital. Although she had entered the palace several times and went hunting in winter, she basically didn't know a few of them. Face.

She has never been very good at remembering faces.

In the next few days, the warm and hospitable Princess Li invited Chu Qianchen to go to the theater and go on a cruise... Unknowingly, she took her to get to know a circle of people. While recognizing them, she also talked to her in a divergent way. The intricate interpersonal relationships in some clans.

For example, Princess Shun and Madam Hou Shizi of Chang'an both came from the He family and were aunts and nephews;

For example, Princess Rui was at odds with Princess Xingjun;

For example, Prince Su's concubine and Mrs. Yongchangbo were close friends, and they agreed to have children and in-laws;

For example, the Yongchang Bofu almost got married to the Ming Dynasty General's Mansion, but it was later blown out for some reason...

…

Chu Qianchen listened with great interest.

She also heard that Princess Li was trying to remind her, not only by mentioning the relatives and friends between the families, but also by mentioning who was leaning toward the emperor and had opinions about Prince Chen, intentionally or unintentionally.

Daqi's clan has lasted for hundreds of years, and there are countless clan members. These clans are also married to noble families, intertwining into a complicated network of relationships. For example, who is a relative of whom, and who is a relative. I have had old grudges with any family over certain things. This cannot be looked up in books.

The mother-in-law should have told her daughter-in-law these things, but the Queen Mother Yin was trapped in the palace, beyond her reach.

Chu Qianchen had always clearly distinguished between the good intentions and bad intentions of others. He patiently listened to everything Princess Li said and took it to heart.

Chu Qianchen can make people hate her when she provokes them, such as Concubine Yang and Chu Qianhuang. But if she wants to, she can also be very lovable, making people think she is smart and well-behaved, and they want to rub her head, squeezed her hand.

Princess Li fell in love with her at first sight and then at second sight. When she saw her the third time, she wanted to take her home. When she got back, she said many kind words to Prince Li: "Marriage is destined by God. The emperor's marriage promise was given to Duan Hao by accident." Marriage."

"Ah Jue's daughter-in-law is good-looking. Although she is a concubine, she has a great temperament, is smart, and well-behaved. I think she is a good person."

In the past few days, after listening to his own princess praising Princess Chen frequently, Prince Li also knew that Princess Chen was indeed a good person, and also felt that the emperor was wrong.

Prince Li sighed and said, "Take care of Princess Chen as much as possible. The Queen Mother is in the palace and we haven't seen her for several months. As elders, we can take care of her as much as we can."

If Princess Chen is a person who doesn't know good and bad or can't hold up the wall with mud, Prince Li will not do anything. But since she is a person who knows good and bad, she will help as much as she can.

Prince Li was a worrier. After thinking about it, he began to nag: "Ah Jue, this kid, I don't know what he is thinking about. Since he returned to Beijing, he has always stayed in the palace and never left the house. Isn't he like this?" Didn’t you imprison yourself?”

"He's like a gourd with its mouth cut off. He can't say a single word that he doesn't want to say."

"The emperor is too wary, and his temper is like a firecracker. Hey, after the New Year, I will find an opportunity to persuade the emperor."

As he spoke, Prince Li stood up and walked back and forth in the room several times with a bit of anxiety.

When he walked back and forth a few more times, Princess Li felt that her heart had been driven away by him, and she rubbed her brows and said, "Don't..."

She watched Prince Li walk to the window and her eyes fell on the plum branches piled with snow outside the window. She stopped mid-sentence and changed her words: "Your Majesty, does your right leg stop hurting?"

In the past, Prince Li's old cold legs would break out every time it was windy and snowy. The pain would make him feel worse than death, and he could not sleep at night.

However, it snowed lightly last night, but Prince Li was fine. He didn't get up all night last night, and he is in good spirits now, with his legs and feet running smoothly.

Upon hearing this, Prince Li stopped where he was, as if time had been suspended.

After a while, he stupidly looked down at his right knee, then stamped his right foot and said with a slight stutter: "No...it doesn't hurt anymore."

The plaster that Gu Jue gave him last time was used up yesterday.

Prince Li felt that this ointment must be very precious, and he was too embarrassed to come to ask for it again.

At this moment, after listening to his old wife's reminder, he realized that his right leg didn't hurt at all, and it didn't affect him at all when he walked.

Prince Li tried to take a few steps forward until he reached Princess Li.

"It really doesn't hurt anymore?" Princess Li couldn't help but asked again.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Prince Li nodded affirmatively.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that the last time he was in Prince Chen's Mansion, Gu Jue's waiter had told him that with seven days of ointment, his old cold leg could be cured. He just responded casually and didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, this dog skin ointment actually cured the old problem that had been bothering him for more than ten years? !

Prince Li was still in disbelief, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but said to Princess Li: "Pinch me..."

Princess Li was not polite at all and pinched his thigh hard, causing him to cry out "Ouch" in pain.

Then, Prince Li started to walk back and forth in the house with great strides. He walked faster and more agilely than before. From walking to running, he looked as light as a swallow and wanted to go to the house to unveil the tiles.

In this cold weather, he broke out into a thin sweat. He took the handkerchief from Princess Li and said with joy, "It doesn't hurt anymore. It really doesn't hurt at all."

Prince Li felt that he had not only opened up the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, but also the Great and Small Zhoutian, and his whole body felt refreshed.

The last time he went to Prince Chen's Mansion to ask for ointment from Gu Jue, the first box of ointment had just been used up. His right knee still hurt after the cold wind blew, so he had the audacity to come to ask for it in person.

But it has only been seven days, and the pain is actually gone.

"Is my old problem really cured?" Prince Li whispered to himself, almost laughing three times.

"I'm going to play in the martial arts arena." Prince Li said as he walked out.

He is a martial arts practitioner, and he also has the habit of practicing martial arts to strengthen his body. However, he suffers from his cold legs. He had to lock them up in winter last year. Now that he is free of pain, he can't wait to go to the martial arts field to play.

Prince Li said he was leaving and left. When he walked out of the hall, the eldest son happened to come back. Prince Li, the crown prince, originally came to pay his respects to his parents, but he was dragged away by Prince Li.

"Let's go, boss, accompany me to the martial arts arena to play."

Prince Li took his eldest son by the arm and went to the martial arts arena located in the northeast corner of the palace.

Prince Li was confused, but he followed his father anyway, allowing Prince Li to push a spear to him, and then foolishly followed his father's instructions to give him moves.

Facing his old father, Prince Li didn't dare to use all his strength, and he was already in his forties. Over the years, he had been pampered and his skills were declining. Without even a cup of tea, the spear in his hand was given to him by Prince Li. Picked.

The spear flew out, and was picked up by Prince Li with his spear, and it also fell into his hand.

"Hahaha, you kid, have you neglected your practice now?" Prince Li laughed enthusiastically, feeling as if he had returned to his peak. Not only did his back no longer hurt, but his hands and bodies also became more flexible.

At first, Prince Li was worried that the effect of the medicine would wear off in a few days and Lao Han's leg would relapse. However, as a few days passed, his right leg became better and better day by day, even more flexible than his left leg.

Some cousins ​​of the same age in the clan also noticed that Prince Li seemed to be much younger, and they praised him for being strong as he matured.

When Princess Li invited Chu Qianchen to visit the palace again, Prince Li came over specially and asked her to bring a message to Gu Jue, saying that the ointment was really effective, but the name was not very nice.

Chu Qianchen responded with a smile.

After she returned, she told Gu Jue the first half of it word for word, except for the part about "the name is not very nice."

"Your Majesty, am I great?" She asked for the reward directly.

She didn't need to diagnose his pulse, but just looked at it and cured Prince Li's old illness.

Chu Qianchen smiled with a smile on her face, exactly like the little black cat next to her. The little black cat took cat grass from nowhere and brought it to her skirt, raising its little head and begging for a pet.

"Awesome." Gu Jue praised her, then patted his head according to her wishes, with a faint smile in his eyes.

In the past few days, Chu Qianchen went out almost every day. When he was in the palace, he was too busy because the Chinese New Year was approaching. Even the decoction for him was brought to the study by Jingfeng, which made Gu Jue miss her a little bit. The days that revolve around him.

At this time, Jingfeng also came to the outer study carrying a red lacquered and carved food box. When he walked outside the door curtain, he saw Amber guarding the door, knowing that the princess had returned from Prince Li's Mansion.

Jingfeng was afraid of disturbing the prince and princess' private conversation, so he simply didn't go in and glanced at Hu Huhe hesitantly.

In the past few days, the princess was always away from the palace. Jingfeng had already noticed that the prince was easily distracted even while reading a book. He glanced out the window from time to time, probably to see if the princess was back.

Occasionally, the black cat raised by the princess also came to see the prince. The way they looked out the window made Jingfeng, who thought he had not read many books, think of four words - looking through the autumn water.

Amber felt that Jingfeng looked strange, as if his face was cramped, so he asked: "Is this a soup for the prince?"

Jingfeng: "Yes."

Amber: "Leave it to me..."

Jingfeng: "No, no, no, I got the wrong one."

amber:"…"

Jingfeng couldn't really explain that he felt that his prince seemed to have been left out, so he turned around and left in a panic, leaving Amber looking at him inexplicably.

The two people inside didn't know that Jingfeng had come and gone. Gu Jue's right elbow was propped up on a large pillow, his fist pressed against one cheek, and he was leaning lazily on the Luohan bed, looking at Chu Qianchen. Asked: "Where did you go today? Was it fun?"

Chu Qianchen followed suit and collapsed into a ball as if he had no bones. He tilted his neck and leaned on the big pillow. He answered all questions: "Today, Princess Li invited several eldest princesses to visit Prince Li's mansion. play."

She counted her fingers and listed the names one by one: "The eldest princess Ningde, the eldest princess Yunhe, the eldest princess Jiashan..."

After she named seven or eight names, she sighed with a bit of regret: "But the eldest princess Jingle didn't come. Princess Li originally invited her, but this morning, someone from the princess mansion said that her highness the eldest princess last night Caught by the wind and cold.”

Chu Qianchen had a good impression of the eldest princess, so he said a few more words:

"Princess Li and several eldest princesses said that the prince-in-law was disrespectful to eldest princess Jingle and gave some of the eldest princess's dowry to some of his cousin concubines."

"The eldest princess Jingle came to the palace a few days ago and complained to the queen, but the queen was busy with the marriage of the three princesses. She said that everything was going well for the family and that the husband and wife should tolerate each other and let the eldest princess understand the prince-in-law... She didn't say a few words , the queen sent the people away."
