Medical Princess

“Is your master here?” Xiao Xuanzi walked out from behind Chu Liuchen and asked with a smile.

“Yes, she is here.” Qing’er looked at Xiao Xuanzi and Chu Liuchen, who looked gentle but indifferent, and then hurried back to report it.

Because she left in a hurry, she bumped into Shao Yanru, who came over in a hurry, and almost knocked her down. She hurriedly grabbed Shao Yanru’s hand and said anxiously, “First Miss, I’m sorry. I’ve rushed to report to my master.”

After saying that, she let go of Shao Yanru’s hand and ran inside swiftly.

Shao Yanru was so furious that her face turned pale. If it weren’t for Chu Liuchen standing in front of her, she would have instructed someone to drag Qing’er away and beat her to death directly. A little maid with no manners was useless.

“I’m sorry, Your Highness. This is Fifth Sister’s maid, who is as straightforward as Fifth Sister.” Shao Yanru took two steps forward, bowed slightly to Chu Liuchen and said in a soft and sweet voice.

Chu Liuchen walked to the yard without even glancing at her. Xiao Xuanzi walked up to Shao Yanru and politely said, “First Miss, you’re all politeness. My master wants to talk to the Fifth Miss, so we won’t bother you!”

After saying that, he saluted Shao Yanru with joined hands and followed Chu Liuchen in a hurry.

Several guards stood in the yard and looked at everything alertly, including Shao Yanru, with one of their hands on the sharp swords on their waists. Although they just put their hands on the hilts, it was flustering and frightening.

Shao Yanru was more than shy at this moment. She held Shuqi’s hand firmly and pinched it hard. Chu Liuchen came for Shao Wanru instead of her.

The sharp pain made Shuqi’s face turn pale, but she didn’t dare to make a sound. She could only beg in a low voice, “First Miss, let’s go back and have a rest. You haven’t recovered and shouldn’t walk too much!”

Shao Yanru turned around softly, slowly relaxed her hand, and entered her main room in a delicate and weak manner with Shuqi’s help. After entering the room, she raised her hand and slapped Shuqi, making Shuqi take two steps back and almost fall. Shuqi reached out to cover her face but didn’t dare to cry with red eyes, only looking at Shao Yanru fearfully.

Shao Yanru ignored her after slapping her, and sat down on the chair by the window, where she could see it clearly when Chu Liuchen came out.

Why did he come for Shao Wanru again and again?

Seeing that her master had calmed down, Shuqi hurriedly put down her hand from her face, went to bring a cup of water for Shao Yanru and then stood behind Shao Yanru obediently. Despite the great pain on her hand and her face, she didn’t dare to make a sound or reach out to rub her hand or her face in front of Shao Yanru.

Being slapped or pinched by her master wouldn’t kill her, but her master might kill her upon seeing her rubbing the wounds…

“Your Highness, why do you come here again?” Shao Wanru looked at Chu Liuchen, who came back again, and asked in surprise.

“What’s wrong? Am I not welcome?” Chu Liuchen said. He squinted at her, sat down on the mat, picked up the teacup on the table, and drank it up.

Looking at the teacup that Chu Liuchen put down, Shao Wanru blushed. She had obviously drunk half of the tea from the cup.

“I forgot to give you the gift from Imperial Grandmother!” Chu Liuchen drew another jewelry box from his bosom and said, “Imperial Grandmother asked you to go to the imperial palace and spend some time with her when you are free after you go down the mountain. The pass she gave you is still valid.”

“What does Her Highness mean?” Shao Wanru asked suspiciously.

“Nothing special. Imperial Grandmother just wants to show her kindness!” Chu Liuchen stood up and said as he walked out.

He came and left in a hurry. Shao Wanru had to send him out during their conversation.

“Go back. I’ve expressed Imperial Grandmother’s kindness for her and given you the gift.” Chu Liuchen didn’t stop. He waved to Shao Wanru in the yard and said with impropriety.

“Okay. Thanks to the Empress Dowager. Thank you, Your Highness!” Shao Wanru stopped and said with a puzzled look.

After watching Chu Liuchen leave, she frowned slightly and turned back to the silent room with a blank look. However, when blinking her eyes she had caught sight of Shao Yanru in front of the window of the main room.

Chu Liuchen came here with no reason and said something inexplicable. There was something he should have said in the room, but he said it in the yard. If he didn’t say it to her, he should mean to make it heard by Shao Yanru. Thinking of this, Qin Wanru realized something.

“Yujie, put away the gift from the Empress Dowager!” She said softly to Yujie beside her. Although she didn’t say loudly, her voice carried well in the empty yard.

Shao Yanru, who was in front of the window, heard clearly that the Empress Dowager actually gave Shao Wanru a gift, and her face changed dramatically at once.

No wonder Prince Chen left and came back. It turned out that he did that on instructions from the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager doted on Prince Chen the most, and Prince Chen was the most obedient to the Empress Dowager. Shao Yanru was wondering what gift the Empress Dowager had given Shao Wanru and what made the Empress Dowager think highly of Shao Wanru.

She almost tore the handkerchief in her hand apart with her eyes full of jealousy. Fortunately, Prince Chen didn’t come here on his own initiative. But what did the Empress Dowager mean? Did the Empress Dowager do that because of Rui’an Great Elder Princess?

What made Shao Wanru, a girl recognized as a Miss of Duke Xing’s Mansion halfway, have more favor with the Empress Dowager than she did? Moreover, the Empress Dowager granted Shao Wanru a gift and asked Prince Chen to bring it here. Thinking of this, she was unwilling to see this.

She gnashed her teeth, sat in front of the window with a gloomy face and put down the handkerchief in her hand to pull the curtain. A blast of wind blew through the curtain and raised it so that she could not see Shao Wanru’s expression at this moment clearly.

She could tell that Shao Wanru must be extremely complacent from her words.

Being favored by the Empress Dowager meant nothing. The Empress Dowager was getting old. The power would be in the hands of the next emperor in the future. When she became the Empress in the future, she didn’t need to care about the Empress Dowager anymore!

At the thought of this, she slightly lifted the corners of her lips to show a cold smile and reached out to pull the curtain. As her gaze fell on a silver hook on the curtain, she suddenly thought of something and smiled even more wildly.

She had not been smart enough in this matter. It was better to make someone else do it than to do it by herself!

The trap set by her grandma had not been completed yet. She took the chance offered by Pushan Nun, but failed to kill Shao Wanru. In this case, she could let her grandma continue the plan, while she just needed to keep an eye on it. Even if something went wrong, she wouldn’t get involved. What her grandma did had nothing do with her…

That afternoon, Shao Yanru asked Huiqing Nun to deliver three letters. One was for Old Madam of Duke Xing’s Mansion, and the other two were for her personal maid Moyan who knew to whom she should give the two letters.

At the same time, Chu Liuchen received an envelope of documents. After reading the sealed documents in his hand, Chu Liuchen put down the letter with a gentle look, picked up the teacup and took a sip with a trace of delight in his eyes.

“Master, what do you think we should do?” Seeing that his master was in a good mood, Xiao Xuanzi came up and asked in a low voice.

“Nothing. Just let them leave. Let’s act according to circumstances and see when they intend to make it public. The trick of the posthumous child is quite good. Everyone wants to get involved in it!” Chu Liuchen said inadvertently.

“Master, will they come to find you?” Xiao Xuanzi said worriedly.

“I’m not in good health. If it hadn’t been for Imperial Grandmother’s instruction, I wouldn’t have struggled to come up the mountain this time.” Chu Liuchen said, leaning against the couch and lazily flipping through the documents in his hand.

“Let’s do something about it. Since we’ve come out, we should do something!”

“Who are we going to get rid of?” As Xiao Xuanzi asked, he immediately figured out the answer, “Those relevant officials?”

“We don’t have to kill the most relevant ones. Just kill the one who has just surrendered!” Chu Liuchen said with coldness in his eyes.

“Will we assassinate him on the street?” Xiao Xuanzi asked.

“Don’t do it on the street. Take the incident that a girl was kidnapped and killed as an excuse. Has the Censorate been empty recently? I heard that everyone’s attention is attracted by the case occurring in the Yuhui Nunnery, but they fail to find out anything. My uncle is unwilling to make a thorough investigation. He intends to put it off for as long as possible until he can leave it unsettled!”

Chu Liuchen instructed Xiao Xuanzi with a sarcastic look. Someone would expose himself when he couldn’t bear to sit idle. That was for the best, so that he didn’t have to do anything!

“Okay, I understand. By the way, will your going back after leaving today do harm to the Fifth Miss’s reputation?” After discussing the business, Xiao Xuanzi recalled what his master had done before and asked.

If his master had something to give the Fifth Miss Shao, he would have given it at that time. He didn’t need to go back after leaving. In particular, he left just after sitting for a while.

“Don’t they always suspect the relationship between Zhuozhuo and me? I just let them see it clearly!” Chu Liuchen said lazily.

“Master, do you mean to officially confirm the engagement between you and the Fifth Miss Shao?” Xiao Xuanzi asked uncertainly.

“It doesn’t matter. I just expressed the Imperial Grandmother’s attitude towards Zhuozhuo, but I don’t care about her.” Chu Liuchen said indifferently.

“Master, don’t you care about the Fifth Miss…” Xiao Xuanzi said with a frown. He obviously felt that his master treated the Fifth Miss differently, but why did his master say that?

“I don’t care about Zhuozhuo, but this is what they want to see. So I just let them see it.” Chu Liuchen squinted at Xiao Xuanzi, reached out to pat his head, waved his hand, and said, “Go to do your business!”

Xiao Xuanzi was stunned at first, and then suddenly understood. He was immediately overjoyed, nodded repeatedly and said, “Master, I’m going to do my business right now.”

It turned out that this was what his master wanted to show to others. Since no one wanted to see his master care about the Fifth Miss, his master naturally could not do that, so as not to bring trouble to the Fifth Miss. At this point, his master really treated the Fifth Miss differently.

Xiao Xuanzi felt that he should treat the Fifth Miss as his mistress in the future!

His master was getting better and better and was going to get married and have children. Prince Chen’s Mansion would only become increasingly lively. No one would say that his master was a short-lived guy. As Xiao Xuanzi thought of this, his eyes turned red. But he didn’t slow down and ran out in high spirits.

The future life was getting increasingly hopeful and was no longer as dull as before!

In several days in a row, the staff of the Ministry of Justice almost turned the entire Yuhui Nunnery upside down, but found nothing. In the end, the Emperor was furious and let loose a stream of abuse against several ministers. After that, another incident was dragged out, and it was related to an official of the Ministry of Justice.

The son of the official of the Ministry of Justice kidnapped a girl on the street. The girl refused to obey him, so he killed the girl, as well as her family, to vent his anger. Only the son of the family, who was not at home at that time, survived. Hearing that the chief official of the Ministry of Justice had gone to the Yuhui Nunnery to handle a case, the survived son went to the Yuhui Nunnery to lodge a charge and dragged out a bigger case…
