Drunk Bamboo

"Xie Yuzhu, can you treat patients?" Hua Qinfeng asked in confusion and surprise.

"For the sake of the prince and the palace, I have to learn it even if I don't know how." Xie Yuzhu glanced at him indifferently.

Hua Qinfeng thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out whether Xie Yuzhu knew medical skills or not.

"Princess please."

Xie Yuzhu followed the imperial physician into the room to see the Taifu.

She really couldn't take a pulse. In her mind, the original owner often took her own pulse and often prescribed medicine for herself. In the end, she died from drinking the medicine she prescribed. She really risked her life to explore medical skills.

Learning from his impression, feeling the pulse, the ups and downs, the reality and the illusion, and calming down, Xie Yuzhu seemed to be able to feel some subtle changes. But he had too little practical experience to find out anything and make no judgment.

Xie Yuzhu looked at the person lying on the bed. His face was heavy and his brows were furrowed, as if he was worried about something.

"Who usually takes care of the Master?"

"Yes, this old servant. I take care of the master's daily life. But is there any problem with his diet?" Butler Zhang's face became nervous.

"Master, you look depressed and your brows are furrowed. Are you worried about something? Troubled by something?" Xie Yuzhu asked again, putting down his hand that was taking the pulse.

"The master has always been concerned about the country and the people. He also puts a lot of effort into teaching the Crown Prince." Butler Zhang said truthfully. Normally, the Grand Tutor would not let anyone talk about these things, but for the sake of the Grand Tutor's health, he could not hide it.

"Overthinking, worry, liver congestion, and emotional distress can also lead to heart disease." Xie Yuzhu looked at Doctor Qi.

Imperial Physician Qi suddenly realized.

"The princess' words awakened me from my dream. I forgot the most important thing, observing the person's expression. I know how to change the prescription! Butler Zhang, come with me to get the prescription!" He pulled Butler Zhang and walked out of the house.

"Princess, you are so amazing!" Chaoyang said admiringly.

"The Master should be fine, let's go back home."

"Okay." Hua Qinfeng followed Xie Yuzhu obediently, not getting angry at her ignoring him.

When they arrived outside the gate, Lao Liu, who was dozing off against the carriage, slowly opened his eyes, as if he had just had a long sleep.

Hua Qinfeng reached out his hand to help Xie Yuzhu onto the carriage, but she didn't even look at him and stepped onto the carriage steadily.

Hua Qinfeng was not embarrassed when Lao Liu Chaoyang saw this scene. He withdrew his arm and shamelessly got into the carriage.

Xie Yuzhu lifted the curtain of the carriage and said, "Chaoyang, prepare a generous gift and ask someone to deliver it to Eunuch Dong in the palace without leaving any trace. Only Eunuch Dong needs to know that it is sent by the palace. Can you do it?"

"Okay." Chaoyang didn't ask the reason. There must be nothing wrong with what the princess asked him to do.

"Eunuch Dong stopped me today and refused to go in to report to my father. What gift should I give him?" Hua Qinfeng was unhappy.

"If he hadn't stopped the prince, it would have been a crime for the prince to break into Baoping Palace no matter what good things he was doing." Xie Yuzhu didn't want to pay attention to him. He couldn't see other people's kindness.

"How could he stop me? If I really wanted to break in, he couldn't stop me." He was unwilling to admit that it was Xie Yuzhu's words that prevented him from moving.

"Your Highness, do you want to say that you have controlled your temper today and done good things? Do you want me to praise you?" Xie Yuzhu asked back unhappily.

"Anyone would do the same if they encountered this situation. Besides, the Grand Tutor is my teacher. Although he is very nagging when teaching and he made me copy books as punishment back then, he treats everyone the same. Even the Crown Prince and my fifth brother have been punished by him." Hua Qinfeng believed that he was not wrong.

Xie Yuzhu looked at his sincere face and upright eyes, and felt deeply moved.

Xie Yuzhu: Yes, what did you do wrong? You just wanted to save people, and you had no distractions in your mind. What was wrong with that? The only mistake was that you were born into an imperial family.

"Your Highness is kind-hearted and respects teachers. There is no problem, indeed no problem." Xie Yuzhu fell silent.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Hua Qinfeng became anxious: "Xie Yuzhu, if you want to say something, just say it. Don't keep calling me your concubine. Don't hold your breath. It's not good for your health."

Sighing softly, Xie Yuzhu asked, "Does Your Majesty know why I am angry?"

"You held back at the Taifu Mansion, and I am a prince after all, so you saved my face. Now that there are only two of us in the car, I won't care what you say."

Lao Liu and Chaoyang outside the car heard it clearly.

Xie Yuzhu: "When the prince forcibly took the imperial physician out of the palace without the permission of the father, did he ever consider his own safety? If he doesn't even care about his own safety, what's the point of saving face?"

Hua Qinfeng: "My father was in Baoping Hall and ordered no one to disturb him. Even Eunuch Dong didn't dare to go in to report. With my original personality, I would definitely rush in to see my father, but when I thought of your words, I couldn't move at all."

"But the Master's illness cannot wait. If this delays the Master's treatment, I would rather be punished. The Imperial Physician Qi also said that if we were a moment later, the Master would be gone."

But she was only one step late.

If Hua Qinfeng could wait for her, there wouldn't be all these terrifying things that happened afterwards.

Xie Yuzhu had no strength and spoke in a calm tone.

"Can't the prince wait for me? Can't the prince trust me for once? Didn't the prince bring me into the palace because I can help the prince? The prince abandoned me and took away the imperial physician Qi alone. Has the prince ever thought about how anxious I was in the palace?"

Hua Qinfeng smiled flatteringly: "You must have asked for the Queen Mother's decree. I said you are smart. It is right to bring you into the palace. Now the King Father is not angry, and the Grand Tutor's illness has been cured. It is the best of both worlds. I was wrong today. I shouldn't have left you alone in the palace, and I didn't wait for you. You can scold me if you feel better."

Xie Yuzhu was too lazy to scold because it was useless.

No one can stop Hua Qinfeng from doing what he wants to do.

He did whatever he wanted, but she was terrified to take care of it behind the scenes.

Hua Qinfeng brought the water and handed it to Xie Yuzhu.

She took the water, took a sip, and continued, "Whether my father will blame me today depends entirely on how Eunuch Dong reports. You know how scared I was when I was waiting outside the Golden Gate. If Eunuch Dong reported first that you had taken all the imperial doctors out of the palace, and the Queen's decree arrived later, the situation would be completely different."

Adding water to the cup, Hua Qinfeng said with a smile: "Eunuch Dong has been with my father for many years and knows that my father values ​​the tutor. If his obstruction delays the tutor's treatment, he will be severely punished."

Surprised, "Can the prince understand these things?"

"I have lived in the palace since I was a child, how can I not understand? If I gain power, Eunuch Dong will be respectful, but if I lose power, he will not save me with his life. This gift is useless."

Hua Qinfeng was right. If someone accidentally discovered that the gift was sent by Feng Wangfu, someone with ulterior motives could make a fuss and say something in front of the suspicious emperor. Colluding with palace ladies and giving and receiving gifts privately would make the people of Feng Wangfu speechless.

Xie Yuzhu opened her mouth to praise Hua Qinfeng, but seeing his carefree look, she swallowed the words back. She lifted the car window curtain and said:

"Chaoyang, I won't give you the gift yet."

"Yes." Chaoyang's expression was not very good. He had just listened to the conversation in the car and his back was covered in cold sweat.

Seeing that Xie Yuzhu was no longer angry, he smiled and said, "Although I am not as thoughtful as you, I have also thought about it carefully. From now on, you can't accuse me of acting impulsively."

"Your Majesty, your intelligence and talent cannot last a little longer."

Hua Qinfeng was stunned at first, his face full of confusion, but after a while he seemed to understand and his eyes widened.

Xie Yuzhu glanced at him calmly and closed her eyes to rest.

Hua Qinfeng's arrogance suddenly disappeared. She was not afraid of him.

I wasn’t afraid before, and I’m even less afraid now.

Knowing that she was not asleep, he continued to ask, "You actually have medical skills. Even the best doctor in the palace, Qi, agrees with your diagnosis. Why have I never heard of anyone talking about it? The rumors about you are not like this."

"Is the prince in the rumors real?" He didn't even move his eyelids.

Hua Qinfeng was speechless after being asked.

Xie Yuzhu went on, "I have only read some medical books, and I became a doctor after suffering from illness for a long time. I have never cured anyone. No... I have cured one person, but he died." The person who was cured to death was the original owner himself.

"If Imperial Physician Qi had not been here today, I would not have dared to express my opinion. The most I could have done was to give Imperial Physician Qi some inspiration. It is still Imperial Physician Qi who cures and saves lives. The prince tried every means to bring the imperial physician out of the palace. If he cannot make the tutor recover, then the prince would be doing something bad with good intentions." If it were not for the prince's mansion, she would not have said anything more.

It turns out that he has killed people before. No wonder he doesn't dare to mention his medical skills.

Killed someone?!

Hua Qinfeng looked at Xie Yuzhu in surprise, but she had a calm expression and closed her eyes to rest.

Are you lying again?

After thinking for a long time, he got no result. But seeing her sitting peacefully in front of him, Hua Qinfeng didn't care about anything anymore.

It doesn’t matter whether you have medical skills or not, as long as you don’t get angry.

Hua Qinfeng changed his mind and asked, "Xie Yuzhu, are you fifteen years old this year? You are so young, but you do things so perfectly and even think about the follow-up. Are all members of the Xie family so precocious?"

It took Xie Yuzhu a long time to speak.

"In the Xie family, I am the least talented, the least intelligent, and the most insignificant person. I am just forced to survive."

If she didn't think more and disguise herself, how could she move freely in the Xie family, how could she step out of the cage of confinement, and how could she marry into Zhongdu?

Hua Qinfeng felt sorry for her: "The Xie family is so short-sighted, you are obviously a precious jade!"

He chuckled and said, "So, Your Majesty doesn't have much vision."

Hua Qinfeng's eyes trembled in anger.

This is clearly the highest compliment I can give him.

The black eyes stared at Xie Yuzhu, gradually becoming soft, as if shining brightly, and then bursting into laughter.

Xie Yuzhu opened her eyes and glanced at it without understanding what was going on.

Hua Qinfeng laughed even louder.
