Medical Princess

Chapter 745 Each One Had a Different Idea

It was late when Shao Wanru came back. She walked over Shao Caihuan's room and heard the sound of laughing inside. After entering her room to freshen up, soon she heard Shao Caihuan's maid invite her to go over. Shao Wanru took Yujie to Shao Caihuan's room. When she entered the house, she found that there were five people inside.

Shao Caihuan and Shao Yanru were both here. There were also Wang Yuxin and the other two young ladies who she had seen these days. They were also the beauties who had entered the court draft. Incense was burning in the air, which was the plum scent that Shao Caihuan always liked to use.

The treatment for beauties was pretty good. There was incense in the palace, and they could choose the incense they liked. This was what Shao Caihuan liked most.

"Fifth Sister, come here." Shao Caihuan intimately introduced Shao Wanru to the two young ladies, "This is my Fifth Sister."

She smiled at Shao Wanru again, "This is Miss Di and Miss Yu. This is Miss Wang you've met!"

"Nice to see you, Miss Di, Miss Yu, Miss Wang!" Shao Wanru came over to salute them generously and then sat down on one side. The smell of incense in the air was very strong, and she was the latest visitor, so she happened to be seated nearest the incense.

Shao Wanru raised her eyes and looked at the incense on the counter beside her. The incense burner was the same as hers, with a touch of royal luxury in its exquisiteness. Curling fragrance slowly rose from the spout in the burner top.

"Third Sister, what kind of incense do you use today? It's so fragrant," Shao Wanru asked. She stood up, as if she was going to lift the lid of the incense burner.

"Fifth Sister, it's just the plum leaf incense that Third Sister likes. If you like it, I will give some to you next time. I just don't know when you started to like this kind of smell. In the past, you were not very interested in such things, were you?" Shao Yanru smiled softly.

Hearing what she said, Shao Caihuan also laughed and stretched out her hand to pull her, "Sit down, what's wrong with you today? Suddenly you cared so much about my incense. You have never asked such questions before."

Shao Wanru sat down and didn't force it. She just smiled and looked at the incense burner and said, "It's never been so strong in the past. Haven't you smelled it?"

The young ladies looked at each other and shook their heads.

"No!"

"This is the same as usual. Why do you say it is strong this time?"

"Plum incense is the lightest and most pleasant of all incense. How could it smell so strong? Is your nose working not well?" Wang Yuxin curled her lips mockingly, but she was secretly wary. She hadn't expected that Shao Wanru had such a keen sense of smell, and she could tell that it smelt a lot stronger.

"Maybe you ladies have been in the room for a while, so you didn't realize it. If you came in like me just now, you would smell something different. This scent is really strange!" Shao Wanru frowned and looked quite strange.

Hearing what she said, Miss Yu stood up and said, "I will try!"

She turned around and walked out the door. After standing outside the door for a while, she frowned when she came in again, "This smells really… something's not right, and it smells really strong!"

"Really! I'll go out and try!" The other lady also stood up with a smile and walked out the door.

"Is it so amazing?" This time, even Shao Caihuan was interested!

She went out too.

Wang Yuxin's face turned pale, and her fingers trembled slightly. Shao Yanru looked calm. She smiled and looked at them enter and exit the door without saying anything. She looked like a steady Young Lady who was much more dignified and decent than the ones who went out. Seeing Shao Yanru's expression, the two young ladies were too embarrassed to get up again after they sat down, or discuss the things just now.

They were ladies from the aristocratic family, and they entered the beauty draft. How could they be so easily swayed? Maybe the fragrance in this room was not so strong, and it was the same as always. It was just that they had come in and out of the room, which had caused them to smell differently. It was all about psychology, and it was no big deal. Besides, the incense that was freshly lit was different from the one that had been lit for a while.

"It was freshly lit, so it was a little light when I came in. Now it's been lit for quite a while, so it is naturally a lot stronger!" Miss Yu said first. She was the first one to go out. When she saw Shao Yanru's calmness, she was deeply ashamed of her poor manners, so she hurried to remedy it.

Now that she said so, other people agreed that it was nothing, even if the smell was too strong, Shao Wanru came late, and the smell had naturally become much stronger when she came in.

Shao Wanru ignored them. She just frowned, and closed her eyes slightly. She looked uncomfortable, but was trying to fight it.

"What's wrong, Fifth Sister?" Shao Caihuan finally noticed Shao Wanru's anomaly and asked.

"Are you not feeling well, Fifth Sister?" Shao Yanru asked with concern.

"I… I'm not feeling well!" Shao Wanru frowned deeply, holding the handkerchief in her hand firmly, and the force was so strong that the veins on her hand were obvious.

"What's wrong?" Shao Yanru hurriedly asked as she stood up and walked to Shao Wanru.

"I don't know…" Shao Wanru's delicate face looked terrible, and it was slightly pale.

"Shall we send for an imperial physician?" Shao Yanru asked nervously, looking a little flustered. Although she was asking Shao Wanru, she was looking at Shao Caihuan.

Shao Caihuan hesitated. It was in the palace and they were in the draft, and it was so late now. If they really took it to the nanny in-charge and then sent for the imperial physician, it would make things worse.

If something happened to Shao Wanru, all of them at present would be implicated.

"Well… let's wait. Maybe it's nothing…" Shao Caihuan hesitated. It was her room. If something went wrong, she would be the one with the greatest responsibility.

She even blamed Wang Yuxin for it. If it weren't for Wang Yuxin's visit, other people would not have come with her, and Shao Wanru would not have had an accident here.

"But she looks… looks very bad!" Miss Yu was not brave. Watching Shao Wanru holding her chest uncomfortably, she said anxiously, "Or… or go to the nanny in-charge and ask her to send for an imperial physician?"

"No, if the nanny comes, she will scold us, and if things get bigger, they may even drive all of us out of the palace!" Wang Yuxin shook her head repeatedly and stopped her.

The young ladies who had stayed in the draft were all likely to be selected. Even though Shao Caihuan had no idea at first, after she stayed, she had felt that it was not completely impossible for her. At this time, if something happened and she was sent out of the palace, her hope would be ruined. More importantly, people would laugh at her and look down on her in the future.

Even if she couldn't marry those princes, she couldn't ruin her reputation. Shao Caihuan was not young anymore and if she did not get selected this time, she must get married immediately. Nothing could go wrong at this time.

"Let's take Fifth Sister to go back to rest first, and there should be nothing wrong. What do you think, Eldest Sister?" Even though Shao Caihuan thought so, she would not take it all on her. At this time, she'd better leave it to Shao Yanru.

"Well…" Shao Yanru hesitated, looking frightened and uncertain.

"Take Fifth Miss back to rest first, and then if there is something wrong, it will not be too late to send for the imperial physician. If there is nothing wrong, it would be best!" Miss Di also said.

"Okay, let's do it!" Shao Caihuan, the owner of the house, made the final decision and turned to Shao Wanru, "Fifth Sister, could we take you to rest first?"

Shao Wanru's eyes were clear and cold. If something went wrong, there would be too much difference between sending for the imperial physician earlier and sending for the imperial physician later. All the people at present were smart, but none of them seemed to have understood it. Some were pretending to be ignorant, while others were selfish and just wanted to get away with it. Shao Caihuan had used to look like a generous and peaceful girl. She hadn't expected her to be so selfish.

She was delusional! She had thought that Shao Caihuan could see it. They had just kept her after the first round for the sake of Duke Xing's Mansion. Unexpectedly, it had given her more delusions and new expectations. She wanted to check out whether she had given her a protective talisman because of Shao Yanru's calculations or that she knew something and still chose to play along with someone else's scheme! She sneered quietly and then raised her head weakly. "Thanks, Third Sister!"

"You're welcome. We're sisters!" Shao Caihuan came to help her to her feet.

"Third Miss, allow me!" Yujie stepped forward, helped Shao Wanru to get up, and walked out the door. The young ladies walked her to the door worriedly.

"Eldest Sister, Third Sister, don't worry. I'm fine. I just feel uncomfortable all over, as if there is something. I felt better when I went out!" Shao Wanru softly said to Shao Yanru and Shao Caihuan who looked concerned and anxious behind her.

"Fifth Sister, if there is something wrong in a while, you must come and tell me, even if it is late, I will ask the nanny in-charge to send for an imperial physician!" Shao Yanru said with a serious face.

"Yes, Fifth Sister, you go to rest now." Shao Caihuan nodded again and repeatedly told Yujie to pay attention to Shao Wanru's body. If there was something wrong, she should report it immediately.

The words of the two sisters expressed their great care. No matter what they thought, the other three ladies also showed great concern at this time.

Yujie helped Shao Wanru into her room, and the ladies returned to Shao Caihuan's room.

No one was in the mood to chat now. Looking at the sky outside, Wang Yuxin, Miss Di, and Miss Yu got up to say goodbye.

"Third Miss!" Before they left, Yujie came in and saluted Shao Caihuan.

"Why don't you go to wait on your lady?" Shao Caihuan frowned and said unhappily.

"She told me to come and have a look. She thought the smell of the incense in your room was very strange!" Yujie said.
