The next day, when Jiang Yanyi went to the Duhu Mansion to look at the pepper seedlings, he took the old ginseng that he bought for a huge sum of money by the way.

As soon as the concierge heard that the old ginseng was going to be given to Feng Shuo, he didn't dare to make his own decision on whether to take it or not, so he went to ask the housekeeper, Fuxilai.

Jiang Yanyi stood at the door and waited for a while, but the one who came out with the concierge was not the butler Fuxi, but Chi Qing.

This was the first time Jiang Yanyi bumped into Chi Qing after leaving the barracks, and she greeted him: "Mr. Chi."

Chi Qing was carrying some large and small bags in his hands. Although they were wrapped in paper, they could still smell the strong medicinal smell.

He rolled his fox eyes and looked Jiang Yanyi up and down: "It's you, I heard you opened an antique soup restaurant next door?"

"Do a small business to make ends meet." Jiang Yanyi said.

Chi Qing's eyes fell on the red lacquered wooden box in her hand. Before she came, she had heard from the servant that she was carrying an old ginseng, so she pouted and asked, "Why do you suddenly think of giving old ginseng?"

Thinking of what happened yesterday, Jiang Yanyi smiled awkwardly yet politely: "Yesterday, the girl went to the wall to save the parrot, but she fell down clumsily. Fortunately, the prince rescued her and saved her life. Seeing that the prince seemed to be unwell, I thought of giving it to you." It is always good for the prince to send old ginseng supplements."

When Chi Qing heard her talk about Feng Shuo's physical discomfort, his expression changed: "Come with me."

Jiang Yan didn't understand why, but he still followed.

When she reached a secluded place, Chi Qing asked her: "How do you know that the prince is unwell?"

Jiang Yanyi only felt that Chi Qing's eyes were much sharper than usual, and she said truthfully: "The old wound on the prince's body was probably pulled when he was saving me..."

"Have you seen the scar on the prince's body?" Chi Qing suddenly interrupted her, with indescribably complicated eyes.

Although he only saw the scar that spread to the shoulder blade, he did see it, Jiang Yanyi nodded hesitantly.

Chi Qing's face became ugly: "Who else did you tell about the injury on the prince's body?"

Jiang Yan thought he was so solemn, and also realized that this was a big deal, so he quickly shook his head: "Aside from Junshi Chi, Minnv hasn't told anyone else yet."

She bought old ginseng purely because she thought that such a gift was a good deal.Jiang Yanyi didn't understand medical principles, but he thought that since ginseng was a good thing, it could be used as a tonic, and there was probably nothing wrong with it.

Only then did Chi Qing calm down, and just put away the foolishness on his face, and handed the pile of medicine bags to Jiang Yanyi: "Since he trusts you so much, I think he can listen to what you say In other words, you take this "medicine" and fry it and give it to him."

"This...I..." Jiang Yanyi felt that Chi Qing must have misunderstood something. Just as she was about to explain, Chi Qing looked at her inexplicably and said, "Do you know how he got that injury?"

Facing Shang Chi Qing's slightly absent-minded gaze, Jiang Yanyi had no choice but to shut up and shake his head.

Chi Qing's eyes were scattered in the pond where there was only a withered brown lotus leaf stalk in the distance: "In the 13th year of Jiayuan, the Hanming Kingdom in the south invaded, Huzhou fell, the commander abandoned the city and fled, and the people had no time to evacuate. With [-] remnants of soldiers, they stood guard at the gate of Huzhou city to buy time for the people to evacuate."

"At that time, the Hanming Kingdom besieged the city with a full [-] army!" Having said this, Chi Qing smiled, a desolate smile.

"Three thousand soldiers died of exhaustion, and the prince was completely trapped. That time Marshal Hanming, who led the troops, used a Xuanhua ax without authorization. It is rumored that he even used that ax to break through the city gate."

"Marshal Hanming wanted to cut off the head of the prince himself. The prince was exhausted and lost, so he could only deliberately show his flaws on the back. He wanted to die with Marshal Hanming, but he didn't want the Xuanhua ax to come down. , an aide blocked it for the prince."

"It's just that the ax was so powerful that the person who blocked the ax was split in half. The ax still had enough strength left, and it hit the prince's back, leaving a big gash across the entire back. Fortunately, John Marshal Ming was also directly blown away by the prince's halberd, this battle..." Chi Qing paused, his voice hoarse: "It's not a loss."

Jiang Yanyi felt goosebumps all over her body just listening to his description of the battle situation at that time. She asked, "Who is that staff member..."

"It's my brother."

Chi Qing said these words lightly, as if he couldn't hear the slightest bit of sadness, but the hand holding the fan was already so strong that his knuckles turned white.

"After the lord was seriously injured, because of the difficult conditions in the army, he was chased by the Han Ming army all the way. He escaped from death several times, and the wound always cracked just after healed. Sometimes there was no "medicine" to stop the bleeding... Although the wound is so clean now, every time the severe winter frost falls, the wound still hurts badly."

Chi Qing looked back at Jiang Yanyi, with an inexplicable expression in his expression: "In the past, the prince was in the south, and the wound would not hurt like this when it was cold, but now in the north... if this secret gets out , the Turkic people took advantage of the severe winter to attack, so it is hard to say whether Xizhou can be kept. But the prince is stubborn, and he refuses to listen to the doctor's recuperation, so Miss Jiang went to persuade him."

After Jiang Yanyi heard what he said, he suddenly remembered a plot from the original book.

The heroine Jiang Yanxi went to Xizhou to find Lu Linyuan, but was taken away by the Turkic prince. The emperor became angry and went to war against the Turks. When Xizhou fell, the King of Liaonan just ignored him.

At the time of reading the book, Jiang Yanyi thought it was because the King of Liaonan wanted to see the emperor and the Turkic people fight each other, but now he felt that the real reason was that Feng Shuo's old injury had relapsed and he was unable to fight at all?

Jiang Yanyi was holding a bunch of "medicine" packets, and frowned with her delicate eyebrows: "This...how can I persuade you?"

Chi Qing said: "Since Miss Jiang has seen the injuries on the prince's body, I am afraid that only Miss Jiang can persuade her."

He changed his name to "Girl Jiang", and Jiang Yanyi was a little uncomfortable, but now that she has recovered her status, there seems to be nothing wrong with Chi Qing calling her that.

When Jiang Yanyi was still struggling with his words, Chi Qing had already cupped his hands at her: "I will leave this matter to Miss Jiang."

It wasn't until Chi Qing left that Jiang Yanyi finally realized what was wrong with his words. He said that she had seen the scar on Feng Shuo's body, but Feng Shuo's scar was mainly on his back. I'm afraid what Chi Qing said There is a big difference between her "seen" and what she really saw.

How could she, a girl who hadn't left the court, see the back of a strange man for no reason!

Chi Qing definitely misunderstood what was going on between her and Feng Shuo!

Jiang Yan was so embarrassed that he wanted to kill him with a piece of tofu.

It was impossible to catch up and explain. Not a while after Chi Qing left, a young servant came here and guided her respectfully: "Miss Jiang, please follow the villain."

Jiang Yanyi looked at the old ginseng box and medicine bag in his hand, and had to follow.

***

When we arrived at a courtyard, we could see a few guards in armor and swords standing in front of the courtyard gate from a distance, the young man stepped forward to explain his purpose, the guard took a look at Jiang Yanyi, and after entering the courtyard to inform, he said when he came out: "Miss Jiang, please come in. "

The attitude is much more respectful than before.

Jiang Yanyi walked into the courtyard with a bunch of things in his arms, and immediately saw Feng Shuo playing chess in the courtyard.

The weather was getting colder every day, so he wore a black cloak, probably because he was unwell, so he didn't tie his hair up, but loosened his black hair with a sapphire blue forehead band in front of his forehead Hold on, the broken hair on his forehead was scattered a little, adding a bit of youthful air to him.

The black hair hanging down his shoulders pressed the snow-white fox fur at the neckline, and the cirrus pattern embroidered with gold thread on the cloak shone slightly in the sun. He supported his head with one hand, rested his elbow on the stone table, and held the other hand. A black jade chess piece, as if contemplating how to make the next move.

There was a small stove next to the stone table, the water in the teapot was boiling, and there was a gurgling sound, and the white air from the spout rose up, making Feng Shuo's delicate face somewhat blurred.

"What are you here for?"

Jiang Yanyi heard him ask.

Jiang Yanyi couldn't understand the tone of his words for a while, so he just said: "I'll give the prince an old ginseng to nourish his body."

Feng Shuo looked sideways, saw the medicine bags in her arms, and snorted lightly: "It must be Chi Qing who was talking nonsense to you, that kid is tired of working, and this king cut him off right away." !"

Hearing his tone, Jiang Yanyi knew that Chi Qing's words were inseparable, and she said: "The prince is the pillar of the country, how can he avoid illness and avoid medical treatment?"

Feng Shuo was disturbed by her and made a wrong move. Now the whole chess game is "disordered". He threw the pieces back into the chess basket and looked at her leisurely: "How is this king, does it have anything to do with you?"

He is a prince of one dynasty, and he also has his arrogance.

He couldn't hold a whole heart in front of her, just to beg her to take another look.

He asked himself that he was no worse than Lu Linyuan, if she couldn't see him all the time, why should he force it?

Jiang Yanyi originally wanted to have a good talk with him, but when he saw that he was in a bad mood, he stopped thinking for a while and said, "It's the daughter's fault for disturbing the prince, and the daughter will leave."

When she was about to reach the gate of the courtyard, Feng Shuo finally said with a dark face: "Come back."

Or continue to force it.

Jiang Yanyi turned his head, facing Feng Shuo's angry handsome face, he blinked quite innocently.

Feng Shuo pointed to the small tea stove beside him, and put down two words: "Decoction."

Jiang Yanyi said: "I'm not a maid in the prince's mansion."

Feng Shuo took a deep look at her: "If you are the king's maid, then it will be easy."

Jiang Yanyi was secretly annoyed that she could understand what he meant, so she put down her things and wanted to leave, but because of that inexplicable distress, she stayed behind: "My lord, can we have a good talk?"

Feng Shuo also knew that he couldn't tease her too much, so he asked with his eyes half down, "What are you talking about?"

She wants to ask him what he likes about himself.

But when the words came to his lips, meeting Feng Shuo's gaze, Jiang Yanyi was speechless.

In the end, she gave up on herself, picked up the medicine bag and went to the small stove: "I will make the medicine for you."

On the contrary, Feng Shuo looked at her with thoughtful eyes.

The "medicine" was cooked, Feng Shuo frowned when he smelled it.

However, he had also drank the "drug" before, and knew that although the "drug" smelled bad, it had no taste when he actually drank it.

After he took the medicine bowl from Jiang Yanyi, he gulped it down, but when the medicine juice entered his mouth, his complexion changed drastically, and he spat it all out: "What is this?"

Jiang Yanyi knew that this "medicine" must be very bitter just by smelling it, but don't all Chinese "medicines" taste like this?Why did Feng Shuo react so strongly?

She was puzzled, "Is it your 'medicine'?"

Could it be that he never drank before?

For the first time, Feng Shuo felt that his sense of taste had recovered, which was not a good thing.

He put down the "medicine" bowl: "I will drink it later."

It's not too late to drink when she's gone and his sense of taste is not so sensitive.

However, Jiang Yanyi thought that he wanted to get rid of it after he left. After thinking about it, he seemed to be able to find only one reason why he didn't like to drink bitter medicine.

Then Chi Qing said that he always didn't cooperate with the doctor to recuperate, which seemed to make sense.

She said: "Shall I ask someone to bring you a plate of candied fruit?"

Feng Shuo's face darkened again: "No need."

In the end, he picked up the medicine bowl and walked towards the base of the wall. Would it be okay if he stayed away from her and drank the medicine?

Jiang Yanyi was afraid that he would pour the medicine, so she prepared to follow.

However, Feng Shuo regarded her as a scourge: "Stand where you are, don't come over."
