In the Jingzhou Mansion, Liu Biao had not seen Madam Cai for a few days.
After finishing his lunch, Liu Biao waved his hand to dismiss the maidservant. He brewed a pot of tea and prepared to have his afternoon tea before going for his lunch break. During this period of time, Liu Biao's life could be said to be very good.
First, Huangzhou Jiang Xia was attacked by the Lvbu's Army. Then, the Jiangdong Army went crazy and directly attacked Jiang Xia. General Huang Zu was defeated and Liu Biao almost lost Jiang Xia. Seeing that Jiang Xia was about to be lost, Zhuge Wolong, the disciple of Master Shui Jing of the Lumen Academy, came out of seclusion. Although he was young, he was very talented. Jiangdong would not be able to get many benefits in Jiang Xia. This allowed Jingzhou to continue to be peaceful.
The situation in the east was stabilized. Just as Liu Biao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, another problem occurred in the west. Liu Bei, a member of Liu Biao's family, actually attacked Liu Biao's western barrier, Fancheng. This almost suffocated Liu Biao to death. If Fancheng was lost, Jingzhou would not be peaceful. Even Fancheng would have to move. The loss of Jingzhou would be huge. However, he had a good ally, the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang. Liu Biao had to boast about His Highness, the King Of Shu of Yangzhou. How could he not boast? Yangzhou sent troops to help Liu Biao resist the enemy. Not only did they help Liu Biao retake Fancheng, that shameless brat, Liu Bei, they also took back Nanyang.
Back then, Nanyang County was under Liu Biao's command. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to get rid of the Deng Family and get rid of Wang Rui's lackeys in Jingzhou, Liu Biao wouldn't have gambled with Nanyang County. Although the Deng Family was eliminated by Liu Biao, Nanyang County was also lost. It was given to Zhang Yao. Liu Biao originally wanted to kill Zhang Yao so that Zhang Yao's army wouldn't be a problem. However, who would have thought that after Zhang Yao's death, he still had a nephew named Zhang Xiu. Compared to his uncle, Zhang Xiu was simply better. Liu Biao sent out his troops and was beaten to a pulp. Fortunately, Zhang Xiu didn't know how to govern. He only had so many troops and was a martial artist. Therefore, Liu Biao tacitly agreed that Nanyang County was occupied. He even prepared to use Zhang Xiu as the dog that opened the door for Jingzhou.
Zhang Xiu was killed by Liu Bei's scheme, so Nanyang County belonged to Liu Bei, Liu Big-eared. This Liu Bei was chased away by the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, so Nanyang County naturally became ownerless. Although he exchanged Xinye for Nanyang County, Liu Biao still made a profit. Nanyang County had more than twenty cities, while Xinye only had three cities. With Nanyang County, Jingzhou's territory expanded. Naturally, Liu Biao was happy. These days, those nobles in Jingzhou bowed to Liu Biao because of the big cake that was Nanyang County. Therefore, Liu Biao was also confused by this flattery.
"Master, your tea!" The maid quickly prepared the tea and served it to Liu Biao.
Liu Biao took the cup of tea and gently blew on it before taking a sip. The fragrance of the tea made him feel comfortable.
"Is the madam's health better?" Liu Biao finished the tea and asked the maid. This maid was part of the madam's inner court, so she knew about the madam's condition.
"The madam is much better. A few days ago, she caught a cold. Doctor Zhang Zhong has already taken her pulse and prescribed her medicine. She should be fully recovered in a few days." The maid carefully told Liu Biao.
"The cold from a few days ago still hasn't healed?" Liu Biao could not help but frown. However, he did not doubt it too much. This was because Liu Biao was already old. Once he caught a cold, he would be sick for half a month. This was also because he was old. His body's immune system would not be able to withstand the cold and it would be difficult for him to recover.
"No, let's go see the madam!" Although Liu Biao was old and senile, there were still some feelings between the couple. After all, they had a child. Liu Biao's only official wife was Madam Cai.
"Come, follow me to the inner court to see the madam!" Liu Biao got up and said to the people around him. Someone immediately went up and helped Liu Biao to the inner court. Last time, Liu Biao was still in a daze. He didn't want to walk on his own so he let someone help him.
…
"Young Miss, the medicine is back." Xiao Cui said to Madam Cai who was lying on the bed in her room.
"Ugh!" Madam Cai didn't immediately reply. She was feeling nauseous and didn't have much energy these days.
Seeing her young miss like this, Xiao Cui immediately carried a basin and helped her up. She gently patted her back and said, "Young Miss, Young Miss, slow down, slow down."
Madam Cai vomited for a while before she felt better. She gasped for air and said, "He really caused me a lot of trouble." Although she didn't look good, there was a trace of happiness on her face. Even Xiao Cui was stunned for a moment.
"Young Miss!" Xiao Cui looked at her young miss and didn't know why. Xiao Cui suddenly envied her young miss. How good would it be if her stomach was the same as her young miss's? That bad guy would take her away. Thinking of this, Xiao Cui's face turned red. Bah, what are you thinking about, Xiao Cui?
"Xiao Cui, take the medicine." Madam Cai waved her hand and said when she saw the medicine in Xiao Cui's hand. "Remember, this medicine must be brewed by you personally. Don't let anyone see through it."
"Madam, do you really want to do this?" Xiao Cui couldn't help but ask. She knew better than anyone that the medicine she bought would be fine for ordinary people. But if Madam Cai ate it, she would lose her life.
"What else can I do?" Madam Cai was stunned. She smiled bitterly and said, "I also want to keep him. After all, he is my flesh and blood. Which mother doesn't love their children? But our identities are destined. This child can't be kept. " Madam Cai's face was filled with pain. This pain wasn't physical, but mental. It was a wound in her heart.
Although Madam Cai was already past the age of sixteen, she was still at the peak of her youth. But all of this was because of her identity as the daughter of the Cai Family. She was destined to not be able to decide her own marriage. In the end, she was destined to repay the Cai Family for raising her. She was destined to repay the Cai Family for raising her.
She also imagined that there would be a person in golden armor who would appear in front of her and say that he would give her a lifetime of happiness. But was that possible? That would only appear in the mouth of that storyteller. With their identities, it was destined that they couldn't be together.
"Milady, it's best to tell him about this matter!" Xiao Cui suggested.
"No!" As soon as Xiao Cui said that, Madam Cai screamed like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on. "You can't tell him! You can't tell him!" Madam Cai was worried about something. "Only you, me, and Zhang Zhong know about this. No one else can know about it. If anyone else knows about it, they must keep it a secret. " Madam Cai wasn't a pushover either. She had to get rid of all obstacles in her way.
"Milady, why do you have to do this? It's better to have two people than one! "Xiao Cui felt pity for her Milady. The Milady really liked the baby in her womb. Otherwise, she wouldn't have bought the Thirteen Guardians. The baby was already several months old in the Milady's womb. If it wasn't for the fact that it was winter and the Milady was wearing more clothes, the Milady would've been exposed. It couldn't be delayed any longer. That was why the Milady had sent Xiao Cui to Zhang Zhong to get the medicine.
While Xiao Cui was feeling pity for Madam Cai, Madam Cai was also feeling bitter. But what could she do? She also wanted to share the medicine with Zhang Zhong, but she had no choice. What was supposed to be a joyous occasion had become an obstacle between the two of them. It was also a crisis. If they didn't handle it well, both of them would be in danger.
As such, only a few people knew about this matter. Madam Cai was even prepared to get rid of Zhang Zhong after this matter was over.
"Milady, Master is here, Master is here!" The maid outside Madam Cai's room knocked on the door and shouted.
"Master is here? What is he doing here? "Madam Cai's expression changed, but she quickly calmed down." I understand. " She turned to Xiao Cui and said, "Xiao Cui, take these medicinal ingredients and leave. Remember, you have to brew them yourself. Don't let anyone else see you," Lady Cai instructed.
"Yes, Milady!" Xiao Cui nodded solemnly and left. Madam Cai couldn't help but shake her head. In that instant, she actually felt a bit envious of Xiao Cui. If she didn't have this identity, she wouldn't have to worry so much. She had decided to send Xiao Cui to that dead man. Even if she couldn't drink with him, she would at least be able to comfort herself.
"Milady, Milady!" Liu Biao's voice came from outside. Liu Biao pushed the door open and walked in.
"Master!" Madam Cai was about to get up when Liu Biao stopped her. "Milady, you don't need to be so formal since you're not feeling well." Madam Cai was indeed not feeling well and didn't want to get up.
"May I ask why you're here?" Madam Cai asked.
"You've been sick these past few days and I'm worried about you, so I came to see if you're feeling better." Liu Biao was about to lift the curtain to check on Madam Cai.
But Madam Cai stopped him. "Master, I'm feeling much better. The doctor has already prescribed me some medicine. This is caused by a cold, so I can't let it spread to you." Madam Cai didn't know why, but she felt an indescribable disgust for Liu Biao. She didn't want him to touch her.
"True, true!" Liu Biao nodded. Colds were contagious, so Liu Biao didn't lift the curtain to go in. He decided to stay outside and talk with Madam Cai.
"Milady, if you need anything, just tell me. Men, bring me a thousand-year-old ginseng from Changsha from the treasury to the kitchen. Tell him to get rid of the cold," Liu Biao said to the servants. This thousand-year-old ginseng was a tribute from Huang Zu, and Liu Biao didn't want to use it too much. He wanted to save it for Madam Cai. He didn't need much, just a root would be enough.
"There's no need! Master, I've only caught a cold. I'll be fine after some rest. It's better to save the ginseng for when we need it. " Madam Cai said to Liu Biao. How could her body be so nourished? If she wanted to give birth to a child, she could use the ginseng to replenish her body's essence. But she didn't want the one in her belly. If she used too much of it, how could she abort the child? Madam Cai shook her head.
"Send it to Madam's room first. When Madam is better, she can use it however she wants." Liu Biao nodded and chatted with Madam Cai for a while.
At this time, a guard came to report, "Reporting to Milord, General Huang Zu's eldest son wishes to see you." Although Huang She was the head of the army, most people only knew that he was Huang Zu's son. Because of Huang Zu, Huang She was born. Otherwise, Huang She was worthless.
"Huang She? What is he doing here? "Liu Biao was puzzled. Huang Zu's eldest son was Huang She. Liu Biao was somewhat dissatisfied. Didn't Huang She make enough of a fool out of himself? He had been at odds with the King Of Shu, Liu Mang, and was sent to prison twice. Liu Biao felt a headache whenever he saw Huang She. He didn't expect that Huang She would come again. Liu Biao didn't want to see him at all.
"Tell him to go back. I don't want to see him." Liu Biao waved his hand. "Tell him I'm busy." The guard was about to leave when Madam Cai spoke, "Wait!"
"Madam?"
"Master, no matter what, Huang She is General Huang Zu's son. Since he came to visit you, you should see Huang She. Otherwise, people will gossip." Madam Cai said to Liu Biao. Of course, Madam Cai didn't want to speak for Huang She. Instead, she didn't want Liu Biao to stay here for too long. Madam Cai had Xiao Cui boil some medicine.
"En." Liu Biao nodded. This Huang She was lucky to have a good father and was born into a good family. Otherwise, he would be worthless. Liu Biao sometimes sighed. This Huang Zu was one of Liu Biao's generals. Even if he wasn't the best, his knowledge and ability were very strong. He could be said to be a pillar of Jingzhou. However, such a talented general gave birth to a useless son. Half of the reason why Jiang Xia was lost was because of this Huang She. If it wasn't for the fact that Huang Zu only had one son to inherit the family business, Liu Biao would have already killed Huang She.
However, Madam Cai was right. He didn't have to give face to Huang She, but he had to give face to Huang Zu. After all, he was an old brother of Liu Biao's who helped Liu Biao conquer the world. He was also a helper that Liu Biao prepared for his youngest son to inherit Jingzhou in the future. Since Madam Cai said so, Liu Biao nodded. "Madam Cai is right. Then, I will go and see him."
"Go, Master. Don't delay the important matters of the country. "
"What important matters of the country can he have?" Liu Biao snorted and left. Silence returned to Madam Cai's room.
… …
"Big Brother, do you think Lord Jingzhou will refuse to see us?" Huang Kai asked Huang She. Although Huang Kai had been in and out of Liu Biao's residence before, it was only when he accompanied his elders. However, this time, he had to come alone. Therefore, Huang Kai was a little worried.
"He won't see us?" Huang She was startled. Indeed, Huang She had made a fool of himself in the past few meetings in Jingzhou. He was even sent to prison twice. It could be said that he had become a joke in Jingzhou. However, as long as he met Liu Biao, the ruler of Jingzhou, Huang She would be able to change his image and even surpass the Cai Family to become the number one family in Jingzhou. However, Huang She was still worried. What if Liu Biao refused to see him?
"If he doesn't want to see us, then let's go." An old man on the side spoke. His expression was complicated and excited. How could he not be excited? Liu Biao was like a local tyrant in Jingzhou. Of course, ordinary people would be excited to see a local tyrant. However, this excitement was also mixed with fear. This was because he knew what they were here for. They were here to cause trouble. Their target was none other than Madam Cai.
This old man was none other than the money-grubbing doctor from the Benevolence Hall, Chen Quan. Chen Quan also regretted his actions. Wasn't his mouth too cheap? He insisted on inquiring about the medicinal herbs that Xiao Cui bought. If he didn't inquire about it, how good would it be? Now, he was dragged into the battle between two great aristocratic families. Regardless of whether it was the Cai Family or the Huang Family, Chen Quan couldn't afford to offend them. If they were unhappy, they wouldn't even need to lift a finger and he would be finished.
"What are you afraid of?" Huang She glared at Chen Quan. "My Huang Family will definitely protect you. If this matter succeeds, you will naturally enjoy a high position and wealth."
"Yes, yes!" Chen Quan lowered his voice and nodded. What else could he do? If he didn't want to be implicated in the battle between two giants, then he could only hide behind one giant for a long time. He could only hold on tightly to the Huang Family's sleeve and hope that the Huang Family would give him a way out.
"If I don't see him, then I can only cause trouble for a long time." Huang She gritted his teeth. He had to see Liu Biao. This was his trump card. If he was late and Madam Cai aborted the child, then everything would be too late. Therefore, this was Huang She's opportunity as well as a challenge.
"Who dares to cause trouble in my Prefecture Overseer Mansion?" A voice full of disdain and dissatisfaction was heard.
If it was in the past, Huang She would have flown into a rage. Even if he didn't fly into a rage, his expression wouldn't be pleasant. However, today, Huang She was smiling. This was because this person was the person Huang She had been thinking about day and night.
"Uncle, uncle." Huang She hurriedly went forward and kowtowed before the old man even arrived in front of him.
"Uncle!" Huang Kai, who was behind him, also kowtowed and called out to his uncle.
"Chen Quan greets the Prefecture Overseer." Chen Quan also kowtowed.
"You are Huang Yu's son?" Liu Biao ignored Chen Quan and asked Huang Kai.
"Yes, my father is Huang Yu." Huang Kai cupped his fist and said.
"You've grown so big!" Liu Biao nodded. This Huang Yu was Huang Zu's younger brother. He was also the one who fought alongside Liu Biao. However, while Huang Zu focused on martial arts, his younger brother focused on literature. Although Huang Yu wasn't in the imperial court, he still had a high status in Jing Province. The person in charge of contacting Liu Biao was Huang Yu. Unfortunately, his health had deteriorated over the years.
"Stand up and speak." Liu Biao was already tired of Huang She. However, he didn't know much about Huang Kai. Therefore, he spoke to the three of them for the sake of his old brother Huang Yu.
"Yes!" The three of them nodded and kowtowed.
"What is the purpose of your visit to my Prefecture Overseer's mansion?" Liu Biao asked. He couldn't help but express his dissatisfaction towards Huang She. He also reprimanded Huang She and told him not to be so presumptuous in the hall. Don't think that Liu Biao won't teach him a lesson because of his father.
Huang She had learned his lesson this time. In the past, when he was reprimanded, he would cry and make people feel very uncomfortable. However, this time, he smiled and humbly listened to Liu Biao and nodded again and again. This made Liu Biao a little satisfied. This child was worth teaching. A prodigal son who turned over a new leaf was worth more than gold.
"This nephew and others came to visit my aunt!" Huang She's attitude was very humble this time.
"Visit your aunt?" Liu Biao was a little puzzled. Why did they come to visit my aunt for no reason?
"That's right. When Little Nephew and the others heard that Aunt was sick, their hearts were anxious day and night. Therefore, this time, we brought along a famous doctor in Jing Province, Doctor Chen Quan from Benevolence Hall, Chen Miaoshou. He came to the mansion to take a look at Aunt so that Aunt can recover quickly." Huang She's mouth was very sweet. Liu Biao who was at the side nodded his head in appreciation. Huang She is really sensible. He even knows how to care about his aunt.
"No need. Your aunt's health is much better. Your filial piety is enough!" Liu Biao wanted to refuse. As long as Huang She didn't cause trouble for him, it was fine. Liu Biao didn't have any other thoughts.
"This, this!" Huang She was a little depressed. If he was rejected by Liu Biao, what else could he say? How could he use his trump card? He couldn't just tell Liu Biao that he suspected his wife of having an affair and that she was pregnant. Wasn't that the same as asking Liu Biao for a beating? He might even have to go to prison again. However, if he went back, he would lose his trump card. Didn't he see that Xiao Cui had already bought the abortion medicine? Once the medicine was taken, who would know? Therefore, Huang She must see Madam Cai.
However, Liu Biao flatly refused. Suddenly, Huang She didn't know what to do.
Chen Quan looked at Liu Biao and sighed in relief. He thought that this matter was over and was about to leave. However, when he saw Huang She's murderous gaze, Chen Quan became afraid. If he angered this Young Master Huang She, he wouldn't be able to escape. Chen Quan already knew that Bian Nan was crippled by Huang She. Although he wasn't dead, there was no difference between him and being dead without his tongue.
Fortunately, Chen Quan had some real skills. He looked at Liu Biao's complexion and then looked at Liu Biao's movements. Then, he took a step forward and said, "Your Excellency, do you always carry a jade pendant?"
"Hmm?" Liu Biao glanced at Chen Quan and was a little dissatisfied. Since when did a servant like you have the right to speak? High officials and nobles liked jade pendants. Only jade pendants could show their noble status. Naturally, they carried jade pendants with them every day.
"Your Excellency, do you also carry a jade pendant when you sleep?" Chen Quan also knew that his words were wrong and added a sentence.
"Hmm?" Liu Biao was puzzled. Liu Biao really did wear a jade pendant when he slept. Even Liu Biao's pillow was made of jasper.
"No wonder!" Chen Quan calmed himself down and began to get into character. This was the kind of skill he used as a doctor to make those high officials, nobles, and small aristocrats willingly take out money from their wallets. He would first shock them with a few words to gain their trust, then slowly make them willingly take out their money step by step.
"What's wrong? Why are you hemming and hawing? " Huang She looked at Chen Quan and was very happy. However, he wanted to see Madam Cai more than anything else. Therefore, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Chen Quan looked at Huang She. Chen Quan originally wanted to show that he was an otherworldly expert and make Liu Biao trust him step by step so that he wouldn't suspect him. However, with such a troublesome teammate, he could only be more concise.
Chen Quan asked Liu Biao. "Did Your Excellency receive a knife wound on your back? The wound is so deep that it reached your bones?" Liu Biao asked.
"Hmm?" Liu Biao was puzzled again. Indeed, he had suffered a wound on his back when he was fighting for the world. He was almost killed at that time. Fortunately, his personal guards risked their lives to protect him. Not many people knew about this, but Huang She and Huang Kai's fathers were among them. Therefore, Liu Biao didn't know if Chen Quan discovered it himself or if the Huang Family told him.
Of course, this was Chen Quan's own guess, and not what the Huang brothers told him. This was because when a person wore a piece of jade for a long time, the parts of his skin that came in contact with the jade would naturally become glossy. This was a kind of jade pendant that polished off the dead skin of a person. Because of the long-term light friction, the cells in this part of the body would become more active, making the skin much smoother than other parts of the body. This was what people called spiritual nature.
Chen Quan observed Liu Biao's neck. As for the wound on Liu Biao's body, it was even simpler. When Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou alone, it could be said that he slowly conquered Jingzhou. Naturally, there would be injuries in battles. The back represented half of a person's body. How could this not be a 50% chance? The back was different from the front. It had a large amount of bones. An injury naturally meant that the bones were injured. "Your Excellency, there should be jade articles on your bed. These jade articles nourish your body!"
Looking at Liu Biao's expression, Chen Quan naturally knew that his guess was right.
"This jade artifact is a cure for the root of the problem. It can help Your Excellency heal your body and get rid of the saber wound. However, this cure is too slow. It will take at least ten to twenty years for Your Excellency's saber wound to stop affecting Your Excellency's body!"
Chen Quan was right. The use of jade was indeed taught to Liu Biao by a doctor. The knife wound on his back was fine on normal days, but it would be unbearable on rainy days. With this jade, even if it could cure the root cause, it would still hurt.
"I wonder if Sir has any methods?" In order to eradicate this pain, Liu Biao couldn't help but be curious.
"Success!" Chen Quan smiled in his heart. This Liu Biao had taken the bait.
"Naturally, there is a way." Chen Quan nodded. "But now? "It won't be easy to treat it in public, right?
"Sir, please come in!" Liu Biao nodded. He didn't want to see the guest out and said to Chen Quan.
When they entered the inner room, Chen Quan had Liu Biao take off his jacket, revealing his back. Chen Quan used the ointment he brought from his medicine box to apply on Liu Biao's back.
"Your Excellency will feel it in a while!" Chen Quan said.
Liu Biao nodded. He wasn't in a hurry, but Huang She beside him was a little anxious. He gestured to Chen Quan, meaning that Chen Quan could really treat this knife wound. Huang She also knew that this knife wound had troubled Liu Biao for a long time. Although the cold jade could cure the root cause, it was slow. Therefore, Liu Biao still felt uncomfortable on rainy days. If Chen Quan had a fast way, he would naturally be valued by Liu Biao. However, Huang She was afraid that Chen Quan wouldn't be able to do it. This was annoying. Although Liu Biao wasn't a king, deceiving Liu Biao wasn't a small crime.
Chen Quan smiled at Huang She, full of confidence.
Not long after, Liu Biao screamed. Huang She was scared. If Liu Biao was treated and something bad happened, even Huang Zu wouldn't be able to protect Huang She.
"Chen Quan, you?" Huang She looked at Chen Quan, his eyes were about to spit fire. He raised his hand and was about to slap Chen Quan.
Seeing that the slap was about to come, Liu Biao's voice came from the side. "Don't be rude to Sir!" Liu Biao stood up, his face was full of satisfaction.
"En?" This time, it was Huang She's turn to be stunned.
"Godly Doctor, if I could meet Sir earlier, the injury on my back wouldn't have lasted until now." Liu Biao was happy. Liu Biao didn't get anything in the Jing Province, but the injury on his back was still very painful. However, Chen Quan's treatment made Liu Biao feel that his back was much better. Naturally, Liu Biao was happy.
"It is Chen Quan's honor to not treat Your Excellency!" Chen Quan was also very humble. He lowered his head and looked at Huang She from the corner of his eyes. He wanted to tell Huang She that he was fine and that he still had some skills.
Chen Quan was naturally not a Godly Doctor. The injury on Liu Biao's back was a long knife wound. If he wanted to cure it completely, it could only be cured with cold jade. Chen Quan used a paste mixed with jade powder on Liu Biao. It was no different from wearing it directly. The reason why it was effective so quickly was that Chen Quan added mint and some herbs that could cool the body. When he rubbed it on, there was naturally a quick reaction. The numbness was also caused by Chen Quan's massage technique.
"Sir, this injury on my back?" Liu Biao asked. He really didn't want to be tortured by this thing anymore.
"Lord Prefecture Overseer, if this injury is recent, then it would naturally be cured with medicine. However, this injury has been around for many years and has already damaged the root bone. Therefore, even if Lord Prefecture Overseer uses my medicinal herbs and a special massage technique, it will still take several years to completely eradicate it!" Chen Quan had naturally thought of a way out for himself. What did he mean by several years? One or two years could be considered several years. Eight or ten years could also be considered several years. Chen Quan wasn't wrong. He didn't even know if Liu Biao could live for eight or ten years. Naturally, Chen Quan didn't have to worry. He was full of confidence.
"I see!" Liu Biao nodded with a little regret. "Men, bring fifty gold coins to Sir!" Liu Biao naturally wanted to give Chen Quan some benefits after having a good time. He wasn't stingy and gave fifty gold coins in one go. As time passed, there would naturally be more.
Chen Quan didn't say anything at first. He was really stunned by the fifty gold coins. Fifty gold coins in one go? Wouldn't he be rolling in money in the future?
"Sir, you think it's too little? Alright, men, bring me a hundred gold coins! "
A hundred gold coins? Chen Quan sucked in a breath of cold air. Too little? Of course it was too little! Chen Quan was overjoyed. Sometimes, he wouldn't be able to earn so much even after several years. He really wanted it, but when he looked at Huang She, he could only suppress his desire. "It's only right that I treat Your Excellency. After all, without Your Excellency, my Jing Province wouldn't be as prosperous as it is now. The people wouldn't be able to live and work in peace. If that's the case, I wouldn't be able to study medicine in peace. Therefore, Your Excellency, please don't give me any gold coins." Chen Quan spoke with a strong sense of righteousness. Liu Biao couldn't help but nod in praise. What a good way to repay a debt of gratitude.
"Alright, if I were to reward you with this gold, it would be an insult to Sir." Liu Biao waved his hand and had his men take the gold away.
Dung? Chen Quan looked at the gold that was taken away and felt so regretful that he almost cried. However, he knew that once he accepted the gold, Liu Biao would send him off. If he failed to achieve Huang She's goal, then Chen Quan wouldn't be far from death. Once he entered the grave, what use would he have for the gold? Therefore, Chen Quan could only watch as the gold was taken away.
"Your Excellency, but!" Chen Quan sent off Jin Zi with tears in his heart. Chen Quan could only cup his fists once again. He comforted himself in his heart. The future was long, the future was long. Relying on the Huang family's big ship, there would be many opportunities to make money in the future. So Chen Quan opened his mouth again.
"What's wrong? Sir, are you regretting it? It doesn't matter, I can still give this gold to Sir! " Liu Biao looked at Chen Quan. That's right, people in this world only cared about benefits. A hundred gold coins could even buy a business in Xiangyang.
"No, no, no!" Chen Quan clenched his teeth and bit his tongue to prevent himself from being bewitched by Gold. He didn't want to lose his life in the end. Suppressing the pain in his heart, Chen Quan knelt down and was about to cry. "Your Excellency, it's not that I don't want to part with the gold, it's that I don't want to part with the Prefecture Governor's wife. Thinking about how she is still ill and how I am unable to treat her illness, I feel very uneasy."
"It's good that you have the heart, it's good that you have the heart!" Liu Biao was also moved by Chen Quan. Many people cried in front of Liu Biao and begged for mercy. However, Chen Quan was the first person who cried and begged for his wife's treatment. However, Madam Cai had already recovered and was hungry. Liu Biao didn't want to trouble such a loyal person. "Madam Cai only suffered from typhoid fever. She has already recovered and will recover in a few days."
"How can that be?!" Chen Quan was anxious. If you don't let me treat her, I'll be finished. "Your Excellency, this is typhoid fever, typhoid fever!" Chen Quan didn't know how to fabricate a story. "Typhoid fever is a serious illness. If it doesn't heal properly, it will cause a lot of trouble!"
"What?" Liu Biao hesitated after hearing Chen Quan's words. Madam Cai had already gone to bed and Liu Biao didn't want to disturb her.
"That's right, Uncle. Typhoid fever isn't a minor illness. Don't be fooled by its ordinary appearance. There might be other illnesses hidden in it." Huang She and Huang Kai also spoke to Liu Biao.
Seeing that Liu Biao was still hesitating, Huang She added, "Uncle, this is Teacher Quan's sincerity. Uncle, can you bear to do this? Take a look at Madam Cai. If she's sick, she'll naturally be cured. If she's not sick, it can also strengthen her body! If it's really just a cold, it'll be fine. If there's a serious illness inside, it'll be too late for regrets! Don't tell me Uncle wants to marry another Madam Cai? "Huang She's words were already considered treacherous. If it was any other time, Liu Biao would have directly thrown him into prison again.
However, this time, Liu Biao hesitated. He had seen Chen Quan's medical skills and he was still feeling comfortable behind his back.
"Alright! I'll take you there. Once you're done, you'll have to leave. We can't disturb Madam Cai's rest! " Liu Biao nodded and said to Huang She and the others. There was no harm in letting Chen Quan take her pulse. If she's sick, he'll treat her. If she's not sick, it'll also be good for her health.
"Of course, of course!" Huang She and the others were overjoyed. However, they still had a worried expression on their faces.
"Men, go to Madam Cai's courtyard!" Liu Biao shouted to his subordinates.
"Yes!" A female servant supported Liu Biao and walked towards Madam Cai's courtyard.
"Haha, haha!" Seeing Liu Biao leave, Huang She almost laughed out loud. They're about to succeed. As long as they can get to Madam Cai's side and take her pulse, she'll reveal her true colors. As long as Madam Cai reveals her true colors, the Cai Clan won't be far from being finished. Once the Cai Clan is finished, their Huang Clan will naturally replace the Cai Clan and become the only clan in the army. They'll also become the number one clan in Jing Province.
With this merit, he believed that his father would definitely look at him in a new light. The more Huang She thought about it, the more excited he became.

"Child, if you want to blame someone, blame your mother. Mother is incompetent and can't allow you to be born into this world! It's all mother's fault! It's all mother's fault! "In Madam Cai's room, she rubbed her stomach and said with a tender expression," Child, I hope you'll be born into a good family in your next life. Don't be born into this clan. "Even though they didn't have anything to eat or drink, they couldn't have their own feelings.
When Xiao Cui went to brew the medicine, Lady Cai stroked her belly and murmured to herself. It was as if she wanted to tell her child everything that was on her mind.
"If, if only he could be here!" Madam Cai's mind was filled with the image of that person. She was once a strong woman, once the first lady of Jingzhou, but now she was just a weak woman. She wanted to keep the child in her womb, but she couldn't. Even a vicious tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. If Madam Cai was alone, she wouldn't be afraid. But there were others behind her, including herself. Once the child was exposed, it would all be over.
"Child, I'll repay you in my next life!"
"Dong dong!" The knocking sounded again.
"Who is it?" Madam Cai stopped stroking her belly and tucked her body under the blanket again as she asked the question outside the door.
"Madam, Master is here to see you again!" said the maid outside.
"Again?" Madam Cai frowned. "Didn't he just leave? He went to see Huang Zu's son? "
"Yes, Master went to see young master Huang She. Young master Huang She brought a doctor. He heard that Madam Cai was sick and wanted to take your pulse and treat you." The maid outside the door explained.
"What?" Madam Cai's voice grew louder. Treat me? Huang She brought a doctor?
Madam Cai panicked. She couldn't let anyone know that she was pregnant. If they did, then it would be over.
"How did Huang She find out?" Madam Cai panicked. Could it be that the Huang Clan knew about her pregnancy? That's impossible. Madam Cai comforted herself. Only three people knew about this. She, Xiao Cui, and Zhang Zhong from Ci Ren Hall.
There was no way Xiao Cui would betray him. Xiao Cui was Madam Cai's childhood sweetheart, and they grew up together. Xiao Cui was like family to him, and Madam Cai's trusted aide. There was no way Xiao Cui would betray him.
"Zhang Zhong?" Madam Cai thought of Zhang Zhong. It couldn't be? Did Zhang Zhong want to die? If Zhang Zhong leaked the news, then even if Madam Cai was in trouble, he wouldn't be any better. The Cai Clan didn't even need to do anything. The people who were trying to curry favor with the Cai Clan would kill Zhang Zhong. Even if Zhang Zhong wasn't afraid of death, what about his family? One had to know that Zhang Zhong had a large family to feed in Jing Province. Could it be that he didn't want the lives of his family?
If it wasn't Zhang Zhong, then why would Huang She be here? The more Madam Cai thought about it, the more confused she became. Fortunately, she was a smart woman.
"Where are Master and the others?" Madam Cai asked.
"Master and the others should be in the back garden by now!" The servant replied. To get to Madam Cai's room, one had to go through the back garden. This servant had only returned to Madam Cai's side when Chen Quan was treating Liu Biao.
"The back garden?" They had been in the back garden for so long. They were almost there.
"No, this can't be!" Madam Cai couldn't just sit and wait. "Qiu Yu, come in!" Madam Cai shouted to the servant outside.
"Madam, do you have any orders?" Qiu Yu walked in without hesitation.
"Come, get on the bed!" Madam Cai ordered.
"Ah!" Qiu Yu was stunned. She didn't know what Madam Cai wanted.
