On the second day after Jing Chen returned to the Princess Mansion, Zhu Qingjue followed him.
In order to avoid Shui Yun's eyes and ears, Jing Chen directly asked someone to bring him to Sushi Pavilion. Zhu Qingjue carried a pitch-black medicine box with him. He still looked like the Wanderer of Weijin with wide sleeves. He looked like he was going through his routine. After sitting down, he did not exchange greetings and directly asked Jing Chen,
"How did you rest these two days? Did you have insomnia at night?"
Jing Chen answered, "Yes, I didn't sleep well."
Ever since he came back from paying respects to Princess Luyue, Emperor Zhao Qing frequently asked him to stay in the palace. Every day, he called Zhu Qingjue to examine him and prescribe medicine in an attempt to make him remember the lost memory. Who knew that after drinking a few bites of his medicine, he would occasionally have nightmares and suffer from insomnia.
Zhu Qingjue asked again, "Did you take the medicine on time?"
"Yes."
Zhu Qingjue nodded and explained again, "You were once buried with silver needles in your acupoints. This is a secret technique that has been lost in Jianghu. The method is very sinister and cruel. Fortunately, you were treated by someone who removed all the poisonous needles and did not cause more harm. The reason why you can't remember some parts is because of the sequelae. It is very difficult to recover, but His Majesty ordered me to give you a few doses of strong medicine. If you can bear it, continue to take it. If you can't bear it, you'd better explain to His Majesty. Don't force yourself. "
Even if it was strong medicine, there would be no lack of side effects. His master was the Medicine King of Southern Miao, who specialized in treating the world's difficult and miscellaneous diseases. His method of treating and saving people was not gentle, especially when it came to the dosage. After drinking his medicine, it was normal for Jing Chen to suffer from insomnia and dreams in just a few days. This was only the first prescription. If he changed the prescription again, perhaps Jing Chen would suffer more.
Zhu Qingjue was reminding Jing Chen out of kindness. However, Emperor Zhao Qing was determined to get clues from him. This "illness" was not something he could not treat even if he wanted to.
"Brother Zhu, don't worry. When I cultivate in the mountains, I often don't sleep or rest for three to five days. The symptoms right now are not serious."
Zhu Qingjue stopped there and did not try to persuade him any further. She immediately checked his pulse and examined his condition, and then wrote a new prescription. She added a few more herbs to the original one. The drug was also very strange. It was made with two pieces of cicada skin ground into powder and sucked through the mouth and nose before taking the medicine.
"Take the medicine on time every day. After three days, you may see results. Once. Once you remember something, send someone to find me and I will help you. Don't delay."
After reminding Jing Chen twice, Zhu Qingjue took his leave. He had no intention of chatting with Jing Chen.
Jing Chen didn't urge him to stay. After thanking him, he had someone send him away. Later, he sent someone to the imperial physician's office to get the medicine according to the prescription.
To Chen, Xia had Yun. to say, he Chen, Xia Chen, Wang Yu, Yu, Yu and Shu.
Xia Jiangmin got up early in the morning to dress up. She changed her clothes several times in front of the mirror but was still not satisfied. She dawdled until Yu Shu came to her door. Then she chose a light yellow feather coat and dragged herself to the garden to meet her.
The last time they met was at Jing Wang's wedding. After ten days, when Yu Shu saw Xia Jiangmin again, there was a different kind of surprise.
The married young lady took off her inexperienced outer clothes and added a bit of a charming charm to her. She wore a red hairpin and a tourmaline, and her entire body exuded a noble aura. She leisurely walked out from the sea of dazzling flowers, almost blinding people's eyes.
"Ashu." When Xia Jiangmin saw Yu Shu, she smiled happily and ran a few steps. A group of maids behind her hurried to catch up and whispered:
"Wang fei, be careful not to sprain your ankle."
Hearing this, Xia Jiangmin resentfully dragged her overly long skirt as she walked step by step in front of Yu Shu. She was helped to sit down. She then looked Yu Shu up and down and sweetly said:
"You haven't come to see me for so long. If I didn't send someone to invite you, would you have forgotten about me?"
Yu Shu shook her head with a smile. Seeing her like this, she guessed that Liu Tan treated her very well.
The two talked for a while before Xia Jiangmin shooed away the surrounding servants. She then intimately pulled Yu Shu's hand and shook it. She glanced at the crowd that had retreated to the distance and complained in a small voice:
"It's so annoying. You have to follow me everywhere. I can't even leave the front door of the wang fu all day long."
Yu Shu asked her: "Why doesn't wang ye allow you to go out?"
She had the experience of running away from home once. Before she got married, for insurance, Xia Jianghe forbade his daughter to go out. Now that Xia Jiangmin had married into the wang fu, there was no reason for Liu Tan to be so strict with her.
"That's not it," Xia Jiangmin hurriedly defended Liu Tan, "When wang ye is free, he also takes me out to relax. It's just that we sit in the carriage all the way, and everywhere we go has to be cleared. It's really boring."
Yu Shu suddenly understood. With Xia Jiangmin's lively and active personality, she really couldn't adapt to living a regular life.
"Bear it, you'll get used to it. You don't know how many people envy your current life. It's not that you haven't suffered with me. You have everything you need. It's a blessing from your previous life. "
Even if Yu Shu had a way to take her out to have fun, she wouldn't encourage her. After all, her identity was different. As a wang fei, she couldn't do whatever she wanted. Liu Tan had unspeakable ambitions. She should restrain her temper. Otherwise, if one day she caused trouble and caused a gap between husband and wife, it would be harming her.
As she said this, Xia Jiangmin couldn't help but recall the disaster on the river a year ago. They worked hard to get to the capital. They got up from dawn to dusk in the small courtyard on Huixing Street just to make a living.
She sighed and felt emotional. She didn't have the mood to complain and turned to ask about Yu Shu's recent situation.
There were some bad things that Yu Shu couldn't say to others, but she could tell her. For example, a while ago, Madam Yin and Deng made trouble for her. She schemed to ruin her reputation, locked her in the room to burn the earth dragon, and forced her to take off her clothes to embarrass herself.
Hearing this, Xia Jiangmin was angry. Because there were people in the distance, she could only scold in a low voice, "This evil woman, she's so vicious. She's just a fifth-level official's wife. Who does her son think he is? A toad wants to eat swan meat, and he dares to dream of marrying you."
Before Xia Jiangmin became a wang fei, she was the young miss of the Jiangnan Xia Jiang Family. Her father was the head of the family and her late grandmother was Princess Sheng Wen of the An Dynasty. Even though she didn't have an official position, she had a real name. The Xia Jiang surname looked down on the thousands of guests in the south. The Xia Jiang Family had a wide range of connections. Xia Jiangmin had seen many officials and nobles since she was young. A fifth-grade official's wife, even in the past, she wouldn't have paid any attention.
"My mother used to be a maid in her family. I can't blame her for looking down on me. I also blame myself for being careless and falling into her trap." Yu Shu reflected.
Xia Jiangmin said hatefully, "You can't forgive her. She will think that you are easy to bully and come back to harm you. Think about it. If this thing gets out, how will you get married in the future? "
Yu Shu thought: even if this didn't happen, it would be a problem for her to get married in this life.
"I can't forgive her," Yu Shu told her about her personal revenge. "If she doesn't come to me to apologize, her children won't be able to marry in the future."
She burned the marriage contract as a warning to let Madam Yin and Deng know that she was not to be trifled with. If she was smart, she would come to her early to apologize. If she didn't know what was good for her and wanted to fight with her, she didn't mind accompanying her to the end.
"That's how it should be," Xia Jiangmin clapped and cheered. At least she had vented her anger. Seeing the cold light in Yu Shu's eyes, she suddenly thought of a saying: evil people will be tortured by evil people.
Ah, that's not right, Ashu isn't an evil person.
Admiring the flowers and drinking, the two of them shared their worries. Finding out that Liu Tan wasn't coming back at noon, Yu Shu stayed for the noon meal. It was hard to avoid drinking a few cups of thick wine during the meal. After getting drunk, she rested at Xia Jiangmin's place for an afternoon nap. When she woke up in the afternoon, she drank a bowl of the special hangover soup of Jing Wang Fu. Then, under the reluctance of the beautiful wang fei, she left in high spirits.
In the afternoon, before the sun had set, Bai Chuan Academy was dismissed. Yu Xiaoxiu went to He Fangzhi's medical shop to work as an apprentice while Bai Ran returned to the fu alone.
He didn't dare to forget Yu Shu's orders. From this month onwards, he had to teach a yahuan by her side how to read.
Returning to the little young master's courtyard, Bai Ran took out the [Three Character Classic] that he had previously copied out and placed it on the table. He also prepared the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. He heard that the little yahuan could recognize a few words so he planned to start teaching her from the basics and then move on step by step.
Yu Shu said for him to casually teach her, so he wouldn't really do it half-heartedly.
Seeing that no one had come after five o 'clock, he thought for a bit and got up to wait outside the door. A short while later, he saw a petite figure running down the long corridor not far away, heading straight here.
Bai Ran hadn't seen the yahuan called Little Kui Zi before, so when she ran closer, he asked: "Is it Little Kui guniang?"
Because An Bei Kui had some matters to attend to in the afternoon, she came late and ran all the way here. Suddenly, she heard someone call "Little Kui". She looked over with a pair of large eyes and saw that under the old elm tree at the entrance of the young master's courtyard, there was a youth standing ramrod straight.
In the next moment, she stopped in her tracks and stared blankly at the faint green light that shrouded that person's fair forehead.
Bai Ran saw that the other was standing foolishly with a pair of large round eyes, just like a frightened rabbit. He was baffled and couldn't help but walk two steps closer to ask again:
"Excuse me, are you Little Kui?"
An Bei Kui suddenly came back to her senses. She rubbed her eyes and stared at his forehead again and again to confirm that it was not her eyes that were playing tricks on her. This time, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she stuttered: "I, I am Kui Zi. You, are you Bai Ran gege? "
Bai Ran frowned, thinking that this little girl was so delicate and beautiful, but she turned out to be a stutterer. What a pity.
Feeling sympathy in his heart, he couldn't help but soften his tone. He gently nodded and said to her: "I am Bai Ran. Eldest Miss asked me to teach you how to read and write. Come with me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked inside. An Bei Kui followed him step by step. Her mind was full of the glimpse of the green light just now.
She was born with Yin and Yang eyes. She could see the ghost light on the body of the dead. She could also see the spirit light of the living people who were about to die. From Dong Ying to Da An, before today, she only saw a living person with a spirit light that didn't appear on the head, but shrouded in the eyebrows.
Now, she saw a second person.
.....
An Bei Kui absent-mindedly studied with Bai Ran for an hour. It wasn't until Yu Xiaoxiu was about to return that Bai Ran assigned her homework and told her, "Let's stop here for today and come back tomorrow." Only then did she hurriedly leave.
Bai Ran only thought that she was still young and playful, so he didn't think much about it. However, he didn't know that he had inadvertently exposed a shocking secret to others.
An Bei Kui ran all the way back to the North Palace. She bumped into Xin 'er at the door and knew that Yu Shu had returned. Panting, she found her way to the upper room.
"Master."
Yu Shu was changing her clothes in the room. She took off her official robe and took off her black muslin hairpin. She was only wearing a white shirt and was sitting on the couch, letting Yun Dou loosen her hair. She opened her collar and saw An Bei Kui barging in recklessly.
Yun Dou put on a straight face and scolded in a low voice: "Why didn't you knock?"
The first rule of the North Palace was to knock on the door when entering and exiting, especially Yu Shu's bedroom and study. No one was allowed to enter without permission. After all, Yun Dou had been a head maidservant for a few months. She was in charge of more than a dozen people and was getting more and more imposing.
An Bei Kui didn't talk back. She immediately knelt down and whispered to Yu Shu: "Master, please punish me later. I have something to report."
Yu Shu wasn't angry. She took the comb and waved her hand to let Yun Dou go see if dinner was delivered.
After she left, only the master and servant were left in the room. An Bei Kui didn't get up from her kneeling position. She knelt in front of Yu Shu and carefully said:
"Master, I saw a person today. Just like you, there was a divine light on his forehead."
Yu Shu was combing a lock of hair. Hearing this, she suddenly looked up, causing her scalp to go numb. Gritting her teeth, she pressed down on An Bei Kui's shoulder and asked her to look up. Her eyes lit up and she asked sternly:
"Who? Where did you see him? "
God, did she really catch a fellow townsman?
