Medical Princess

Chapter 318 Doubted Whether He Had Met Her Before?

Since she met Wen Xichi, Qin Wanru had always been very polite and there seemed to be an inexplicable closeness between them. Even when Wen Xichi accused her later, she only consciously alienated herself from him, but it was not an estranged and cold feeling that deliberately distanced one from others.

But now she looked at Wen Xichi with such cold eyes that it made Wen Xichi feel very uncomfortable. He coughed in a low voice, and said, “Is it worthwhile?”

“To do or not to do. I just can’t stand around when I see that someone is plotting something against Hao’er!” Qin Wanru said with a serious look.

At this moment, she did not look like an unsophisticated young girl. She was like an old man who had gone through vicissitudes, and stubbornly held on to the firmness in her heart.

No matter what the price she had to pay, she would not hesitate, and she even had a solemn feeling of cutting off all the ways of retreat!

Wen Xichi was silent. He was always articulate, but now he found that he had nothing to say! He could only see Qin Wanru going off with Yujie and gradually disappearing from his sight!

It was very uncomfortable, as if there was something that had happened before, but now slowly faded away in his palms and then disappeared into the air…

His handsome eyebrows furrowed tightly! Had he seen this girl in front of him before?

“Where is she?” In the gorgeous palace room, a handsome young boy leaned on the couch, with a simple white shirt draped on his shoulder. With a heater burning in the room, it was as warm as spring and a little hot. Not all the toggle-and-loop buttons on his clothes were fastened, which revealed the thin clavicle, and his long hair was casually disheveled. All these made him so beautiful that he looked like a person in a painting.

These words just sounded as if he was deeply unhappy.

“I have been told that Madam of Duke Xing will have an adopted daughter, who lived in Qin’s Mansion before, so everyone in Qin’s Mansion has gone to celebrate!” Xiao Xuanzi brought the flowers to the tea table in front of him, and answered with a smile.

“Just having an adopted daughter has brought about so many things. She is not even a real daughter!” Chu Liuchen pouted his pale and beautiful lips.

“It… might be because of that matter in the palace!” Xiao Xuanzi said meaningfully.

“Duke Xing really thinks that other people do not know about it! And views the others as stupid people!” Chu Liuchen’s light voice had a sense of wickedness in it.

It was totally out of character with his handsome and elegant appearance.

“Except Prince… perhaps he really doesn’t know!” Xiao Xuanzi said carefully.

Chu Liuchen leaned back and said leisurely, “Let him create a disturbance. This is better than doing nothing, and they will pay less attention to me.”

“Prince, they can do nothing now. You see, all of them have been hurt!” Xiao Xuanzi laughed.

“Isn’t it better? I must let him follow us to show something. He can’t always hide behind us, as if we are the only ones who are making noise.” Chu Liuchen chuckled, with a relieved expression.

Someone was hiding and someone was invisible. There were many people who wanted to profit from this. These must be dug out slowly. He was not in a hurry, and he could take it slowly…

“Prince, you are right. You have been hurt like this, and you can’t be hurt again, in vain!” Xiao Xuanzi said with a smile. Others didn’t know how those Princes were hurt. Although this Prince looked weak and sick, he, who was omnipotent, actually knew everything.

No, the word “know” was not accurate. He had intervened early.

Such a thing happened to our Prince at the gate of the palace. Prince Zhou could not get rid of the suspicion. Although Prince Yue was not directly involved, he would be the one to benefit most. As for the youngest one, Prince Xin, he seldom behaved appropriately before. Playing with cats and dogs made him made him look like a child who had not grown up, but had there ever been any little child in the royal family?

Both the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were angry, but these Princes could not show any evidence. The best way was that they themselves were also hurt, thus it would not be a big deal even if they were involved. Then, such an assassination that was directed and acted on by themselves happened, and our Prince just made use of this opportunity.

This matter ended up like this.

It seemed that these princes met with an accident, and then the one most likely to profit will surface, a character that no one had expected in the past.

“I was hurt because of that girl, and I cannot get up till now. This girl still dares to celebrate with the others? Why doesn’t she come to see me!”

Chu Liuchen suddenly got a little angry, his gloomy face full of dissatisfaction.

“Prince, you are in the palace, and you are a man. Even if Second Miss Qin wants to see you, it is not convenient, and she has no right to enter the palace directly to hand out memorials now.”

Xiao Xuanzi explained with a smile.

“She needs an identity, right?” Chu Liuchen said with the corner of his lips slightly raised, as if he was thinking of something.

“Better to have an identity. The identity of Second Miss in Qin’s Mansion is still too low. You can see what Empress Dowager means…” After he said this, Xiao Xuanzi glanced secretly at his master’s face, and said this in a low voice.

Although the Empress Dowager thought that Second Miss Qin was good, she must have looked down on Qin Wanru’s status. Xiao Xuanzi thought that even if the Empress Dowager wanted to promise Miss Qin to his master, it was inevitable that she could only become a concubine. The Empress Dowager would definitely choose another daughter of lineal descent from a noble family.

“Why hasn’t Imperial Grandmother come yet?” Now that they talked about the Empress Dowager, Chu Liuchen looked out of the window with his beautiful eyes, after a pause. The Empress Dowager always appeared at this time in the past, and she was a little late today.

He was still living in the palace now. This was the place where he lived when he had not been moved out of the palace. Even if he moved out of the palace now, this palace was still there. It was convenient for him to live in now and for the imperial physicians to come over and treat him every day.

It was convenient for the Empress Dowager to come and see him daily, too

“Does my dear grandson miss me?” A joyful sound came from the door. The curtain was lifted and the Empress Dowager came in with a Nanny beside her, and all the other people were left to wait outside.

Xiao Xuanzi hurriedly made a respectful kowtow to the Empress Dowager, and then quietly stepped aside, with an obedient look. When his master talked about the Empress Dowager, Xiao Xuanzi had already noticed the arrival of the Empress Dowager.

Even he himself had noticed, how could his master not have known it earlier?

“Imperial Grandmother!” Chu Liuchen smiled with a gentle look and much admiration in his eyes, which almost melted the Empress Dowager’s heart.

She walked over to sit on the couch, and when she saw the bowl of medicine in front of his table, her face became a little gloomy, “Why haven’t you taken this medicine?”

“Imperial Grandmother, I am not in a hurry!” Chu Liuchen laughed. His pale complexion made him look more innocent and sickly.

The Empress Dowager reached out to touch the bowl. The medicine had been there for some time, and it was a little bit cold. She had an angry expression on her face and said, “You are not in a hurry, but I am worried about you. Drink this quickly!”

“Yes, Imperial Grandmother, I will drink it now!” Chu Liuchen obediently picked up the medicine bowl, and finished it with a few sips.

The Empress Dowager picked up the jar full of preserved fruit, and was about to take out a preserved fruit for him.

“Imperial Grandmother, I’m not a girl. I don’t eat this kind of sweet stuff!” Chu Liuchen furrowed his beautiful brows, and shook his head hurriedly.

He put down the bowl, and picked up a white handkerchief from the side. He gently wiped away the brown medicine stain on the corner of his lips, and then put it down gracefully, “Imperial Grandmother, I heard that Madam of Duke Xing wants to recognize an adopted daughter?”

“Chen, how do you know this?” asked the Empress Dowager in surprise, and she did not force Chu Liuchen to eat the preserved fruit.

“Imperial Grandmother, I’ve just heard it from someone!” Chu Liuchen said vaguely.

The Empress Dowager reached out a finger to point at his forehead and mocked, “Did you ask about something about that girl again? How young is she!”

“Imperial Grandmother, being sick makes me bored. I have saved someone. Why doesn’t she come to thank me?” Chu Liuchen said glumly.

“This is not appropriate, and did you really save her? It is obvious that you got her involved and hurt unintentionally!” the Empress Dowager laughed.

Both the Empress Dowager and the Emperor had investigated into the matter. They all felt that it was directed at Chu Liuchen. Qin Wanru was a daughter from the boudoir, who had just arrived in the capital city. What kind of feud did she have that made someone want to get back at her with such a detailed plan? This was not a common means in the boudoir. It was clear that he had a huge background.

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor both agreed that Qin Wanru was like an innocent fish in a pond, that encountered some trouble. So Chu Liuchen really caused a problem for her. If he had not lived in Qin’s Mansion when he had been in Jiangzhou, it was possible that this girl from Qin’s Mansion would not have suffered from this. As far as this was concerned, Empress Dowager still had a favorable view of Qin Wanru.

It was merely that her status was a bit low!

Qin Huaiyong had just arrived in the capital and had not made any special achievements, so it was not easy for him to get promoted, even if he wanted to be!

“Imperial Grandmother, I did save her. Shouldn’t the rescued one come and visit me? Isn’t this a bit ungrateful of her” Chu Liuchen said petulantly.

“Okay, okay, I will summon her after a few days and ask her to come to the palace to thank you!” the Empress Dowager said, seeming to have no other choice.

“Thank you, Imperial Grandmother!” Chu Liuchen smiled. His gentle and elegant face showed a glimmer of smile, which gave him an appearance, which was as gentle as a piece of jade.

“Now take a good rest and don’t think too much. That girl is still so young. It’s useless to think anymore!” The Empress Dowager laughed and reached out to pat his head.

“Imperial Grandmother, I have not thought about this. I just feel that this little girl is very interesting. I heard that she is not the natural daughter of Madam of Ningyuan Army General.” Chu Liuchen said calmly.

“A daughter of non-lineal descent?” The Empress Dowager showed a dissatisfied look.

The Empress Dowager originally thought that her status was low. If Qin Wanru was merely a daughter of non-lineal descent, even a position of concubine in a non-lineal descent would also be higher for her. At most, she could become a concubine with a lower profile.

“She is not a daughter of non-lineal descent. It is heard that she is not Ningyuan Army General’s daughter, but I don’t know whether it is true. When I was in Jiangzhou, I heard it from someone. It was said that she seemed to be a child of Ningyuan Army General’s colleague. At the time of that disaster, her father died on the battlefield.” Chu Liuchen said with his handsome eyes blinking.

“An orphan of a general or soldier?” The Empress Dowager was a little moved.

“It seems like this, but I am not sure. When I was in Jiangzhou, I asked a little bit about this. Since it had nothing to do with me, I did not take it seriously!”

Chu Liuchen casually said.

“You are… Why don’t you take it seriously? If she is really an orphan of a general or soldier, it would be better than a daughter of non-lineal descent in Ningyuan Army General’s Mansion!”

Empress Dowager patted Chu Liuchen, and said helplessly. This child just did not think too much, but when she looked at him, Empress Dowager suddenly felt sad. “This child spent all his effort in fighting against the disease, so how could he spare some energy to take care about other things?”

Although he treated this Second Miss from Qin’s Mansion very well, it was evident that he just took her as a playmate, and there was no personal affection, since she looked so young.

When she thought of it in this way, her originally unsatisfied idea became a little better!

She had always felt that although this Second Miss from Qin’s Mansion looked young, she was a good schemer. She could make her sick grandson keep thinking about her, which indicated that she must be a shrewd girl.

It is not a good thing for a scheming girl to become a concubine and enter Prince Chen’s Mansion. This was also the main reason why the Empress Dowager obviously knew that Chu Liuchen wanted to see Qin Wanru, but she did not summon her directly!
