Medical Princess

Chapter 743 She Made a Protective Talisman Just in Case

"Why did she say that to you?" Chu Liuyue asked.

"I… I don't know, I… I was talking with the Shao sisters, and we were talking about you. I said that when I saw you, you were handsome, graceful, and very gentle. But others always said that you were indifferent… I actually didn't say anything else, but Fifth Miss Shao was furious, and repeatedly scolded me, saying that I shouldn't mention you!" Wang Yuxin seemed to be more aggrieved.

Of course, she was implying that Shao Wanru also wanted to marry into Prince Yue's Mansion, so she had shown great malice to Miss Wang because she presented herself as the future wife of Prince Yue. Shao Wanru was still in the beauty draft now, and it was doubtful whether she would get selected or not. It was ridiculous for her to be so certain and pretentious. She even bullied the prince's beloved woman. No man could put up with her!

Although Wang Yuxin seemed aggrieved, she was secretly gloating.

Shao Wanru was indeed beautiful, so what? Miss Wang decided to speak ill of her to Prince Yue to make him hate her. Although he might see her outstanding looks later, so what? He would still feel disgusted. Chu Liuyue showed a surprised look. He picked up a cup of tea on the table with his slender fingers, took a sip, and lowered his eyes to cover the emotions.

Shao Wanru liked him and wanted to marry into the Prince Yue's Mansion? With Shao Wanru's identity, it was possible. But if she married into Prince Yue's Mansion, it would be impossible for Shao Yanru to marry him too. Then the support of Duke Xing's Mansion might be stolen by Chu Liuzhou. Of course, he did not want that to happen. Two sisters from the same mansion could not marry into the royal family at the same time. This rule was not absolutely carried out. However, it was certain that two sisters of the same family could not marry the same prince. Moreover, both of them were born to the duchess and had distinguished identities.

Comparing the two sisters, Chu Liuyue thought that Shao Yanru had a better chance of winning. But when he thought of Shao Wanru, he felt that he couldn't let her go since she liked him so much. He secretly thought that he should find a way to marry the two sisters, which would be the best.

The room became quiet. Wang Yuxin twisted her body uncomfortably. She had thought that once she finished speaking, Chu Liuyue would promise her that he would never allow Shao Wanru to marry into the Prince Yue's Mansion. But what did he mean now?

"Your Highness…" Wang Yuxin asked tentatively.

"I see. Why don't you go back first and pay more attention to Fifth Miss Shao's emotions in the future? If anything happens, report to me immediately. I will do what I can to help you!" Chu Liuyue raised his head and said in a gentle voice.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Wang Yuxin stood up excitedly and bowed to Chu Liuyue. She was greatly relieved. It seemed to her that Chu Liuyue was just confessing his love to her. She got what she had wanted and knew that she should not stay here any longer.

Watching Wang Yuxin leave, Chu Liuyue frowned deeply and looked coldly at Wang Yuxin's back. When he saw Shao Wanru's figure in the palace that day, he felt more shocked than the time when he had seen Shao Yanru. If he knew that Shao Wanru would attract him so much, he should have done something when he was in Jiangzhou that day instead of waiting until now. Right now, he wouldn't let Shao Yanru go. Fortunately, Shao Wanru was still young, so she could go back and wait for a few more years. When the most important matter was settled, it would not be difficult for him to ask Shao Wanru to enter the palace. Even if there were rules, it wouldn't be difficult to break them at all once he was in power and ascended to the throne…

On her way back, when Wang Yuxin turned around and saw Chu Liuyue looking at her back "blankly" and reluctantly, her face instantly flushed with shyness, but she felt more pleased. She believed that Prince Yue liked her so much. Chu Liuyue was actually just in a daze. He hadn't expected that Wang Yuxin could be so imaginative. He took a deep breath. This time he had to prevent Shao Wanru from being selected, especially selected by Chu Liuchen. He heard that the Imperial Grandmother seemed to have tried to paired her off with Chu Liuchen three years ago.

Chu Liuchen had been sick. As long as he was alive, he would be a sick prince that was not easy to deal with, and he must not take him lightly. He could start with Rui'an Great Elder Princess. As long as Rui'an Great Elder Princess understood that if Shao Wanru married Chu Liuchen, she would only end up being widowed, and he believed that the Elder Princess who had just found her granddaughter would not be happy about it. At that time, even the empress would have to take the Elder Princess's advice, and would not force her.

As for the Empress Dowager, Rui'an Great Elder Princess also had her way to persuade her. As for him, as long as he showed his strength a little bit, the Elder Princess would understand how to choose. He became immediately relaxed when he thought about it. This matter had always troubled him, but he had not expected that Wang Yuxin had accidentally untied the knot in his mind.

Wang Yuxin would be of some use at some point. It was also a good idea to keep her watching Shao Wanru in the palace. It was a serendipity…

"Miss, are we going to make a protective talisman?" Yujie looked at Shao Wanru in surprise and asked.

"Yes, we will make one by ourselves. The protective talisman always has to be hung around the neck. If Third Sister knows that I didn't wear the one she gave me, she will probably be unhappy!" Shao Wanru looked at the red pouch in her hand and spoke.

The fabric was just cut from a piece of clothing she had brought, and it was sewn into a small cloth bag, and two ropes were tied to the outside so that it looked very similar to the one that Shao Caihuan had given her before. The only difference was the exquisite pattern on it.

Shao Wanru closed the mouth of the pouch with a needle and thread, and then sealed it skillfully. Her needlework was not bad, because she had done needlework and embroidery when she was free in her last life. "Miss, there is no protective talisman in it!" Yujie's needlework was not as good as Shao Wanru's. She couldn't help much at this time, so she reminded her master.

Protective talisman got its name because the most important thing was the small paper talisman inside. It could be stored for a longer time after the pouch was sealed.

"We don't need to put it in. It's just for making fashion. If Third Sister asks about it, I can pull it open a little to show her!" Shao Wanru said while she continued to seal it.

"Miss, are you so sure that Third Miss will ask about this protective talisman?" Yujie asked in a puzzled way. Since the protective talisman had been given away, how could she ask about it again? When she was at Jingxin Monastery before, many people asked for the protective talisman. But she had never heard of anyone who would ask the receiver to show it to see if it was lost.

"She will ask about it, and ask me to show her!" Shao Wanru smiled slightly with a bit of laziness in her attitude. Then she turned to Yujie and blinked. "You said that you had drawn a protective talisman. Why don't you draw a symbol outside the pouch?"

The bags containing protective talismans were also different on the outside. Some were specially designed with markings. When Yujie was in Jingxin Monastery, she had painted for the Abbess of Jingxin Monastery, and could also draw one or two strokes according to a set pattern.

"Miss, the protective talisman is painted too delicately for me to draw it!" But Yujie felt that she couldn't draw the former protective talisman, and shook her head. At that time, she just looked at it a few more times and marveled at its beauty.

"You can draw the middle ones first, and I will draw the lines on the sides!" Shao Wanru smiled. She had also looked at it a few more times. It was okay to draw a few rough lines to just present a similar shape, and it did not need to be exactly the same.

They worked together, and after a short while, one protective talisman was completed. Yujie looked at it near the rear window carefully and she was surprised.

"Miss, it looks similar, but it's not the same. I don't think the effect is great. If someone takes a closer look, she will find something wrong!" Yujie looked sideways again and felt that it didn't look like that one very much.

"It's good enough that it's similar. If they will find something wrong when they look at it carefully, then I won't allow them to look at it carefully!" Shao Wanru smiled meaningfully.

She only needed it to look similar and didn't need it to look the same. If it was the same, it would be hard for her to explain it. It was just right now. As expected, things happened very quickly. On the day that Shao Wanru was going to have her portrait painted, Shao Yanru was also the No. 2, but the two were not assigned to the same painter. Since the time was the same, the two went out together. However, they ran into Wang Yuxin at the gate of the palace.

She seemed to have just returned from outside the palace. When she saw the Shao sisters, she walked over immediately. She first saluted Shao Yanru affectionately, "Miss Shao," and then greeted Shao Wanru coldly, "Fifth Miss Shao".

Shao Wanru was not surprised by Wang Yuxin's behaviors. She raised her eyebrows and looked at her. She just stopped and didn't move forward.

"Where did you go, Miss Wang?" Shao Yanru asked with a smile.

"I just came back from the outside!" Wang Yuxin took Shao Yanru's hand and looked at Shao Wanru vigilantly. Seeing that she was standing still and not coming forward, she rolled her eyes at her and lowered her voice, "I got two!"

As she spoke, she took out something from her chest pocket, and quickly stuffed it into Shao Yanru's hand. Then she looked at Shao Wanru again, and was satisfied when she saw that her attention seemed not focused on her.

"This is for you!" Wang Yuxin whispered.

"You got it at a high price. No. Thanks." Shao Yanru refused in a low voice.

"Why don't you accept it? It took me a lot of money and great effort. There are just two, one for you and one for me," Wang Yuxin said. She forced Shao Yanru's hands to clench the stuff firmly.

"But I…" Shao Yanru seemed hesitant.

"Miss Shao, we're good friends. Please take it!" Wang Yuxin smiled, and raised her eyebrows provocatively at Shao Wanru nearby. "I got you one because I like you a lot. As for someone else, even if she kneels down to beg me, I won't give it to her!"

She vaguely rolled her eyes at Shao Wanru, and then smiled and said goodbye to Shao Yanru.

Seeing her leave, Shao Yanru smiled and turned around to look at Shao Wanru, and said softly, "Fifth Sister, do you like it?" She stretched out her palm, and a delicate protective talisman was lying quietly on it.
