269 ??Ignore(1/2)

Chen Wan snuggled in her husband's arms and said softly with a little pampering look: "It's good that you know."

Chu Qianchen is her niece. She should have been snatched by her elder sister, Duke Mu's mansion, and raised under their pity. However, in the first fourteen years of Chu Qianchen's life, Chu Qianhuang occupied the magpie's nest and occupied her honor.

And now, my aunt didn't even dare to treat this girl well.

Chen Wan's heart felt a bitter feeling.

She buried her face on his shoulders, preventing him from seeing the tears in her eyes.

She felt sorry for her niece, but before that, because Chu Qianchen had come to the county prince's mansion with Shen, it somehow reached the emperor's ears. Within two days, Prince Jing was found by the emperor and fined him for one year. The threat was obvious.

The salary of the Prince's Mansion in the year involves not only the interests of the Prince Jing and his wife. The Prince Jing's Mansion has not yet been separated. Several younger brothers of Prince Jing have been eyeing the title and have made a big fuss about this, saying that it must be because Chen Wan is close to Princess Chen that the emperor was killed by the emperor to warn him. This matter almost went to the clan's mansion.

For this reason, Chen Wan could only keep a distance from Chu Qianchen, and could not get close to him, nor dared to get close to him.

Chen Wan felt uncomfortable, but she was not only a daughter of Shen, but also the Princess of Jing County. For the sake of the Prince's Mansion, she could only do this.

Chen Wan clenched the fabric on Prince Jing’s chest with one hand.

Prince Jing gently stroked her back to calm her emotions.

After a moment, he said, "Awan, you should take a break tonight. You have never met with Qi Niang along the way. There will be a sacrificial ceremony tomorrow morning."

"I'll go see Qi Niang first before sleeping." Chen Wan raised her face from his shoulders, and her expression had returned to normal at this moment.

Prince Jing wanted to say that he could see Qi Niang, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by a sound of slamming the curtain.

Prince Jing frowned slightly, but saw the maid rushing in anxiously saying, "Princess, the county lord has a fever again."

The couple felt a little sad and stood up at the same time.

Neither of them was concerned about anything else and rushed to Gu Zhiyan's house together.

The wet nurse said in panic: "Princess, the county lord is burning even harder."

Five days ago, Gu Zhiyan used talisman water, and her fever subsided, but she started to get fever again yesterday. Chen Wan stayed with her all night last night. She finally got fever subsided in the morning. Unexpectedly, she actually got fever again in just one day.

The time between Gu Zhiyan's fevers is getting shorter and shorter.

Chen Wan's hands and feet were cold, and she couldn't help but think, if Gu Zhiyan got even more furious this time, what should they do?!

Gu Zhiyan was unconscious, and unbearable moans were heard from her dry and white cherry lips, and her forehead and cheeks were as if a stove was baking inside her.

Chen Wan felt even more uncomfortable, and she felt as if something had pinched her neck, making her feel breathless.

She suddenly thought of Jishitang. Originally, Gu Zhiyan had improved day by day since she had been in Jishitang, but she was frightened by the brothel woman that time, and her illness recurred again...

Thinking of the torture Gu Zhiyan suffered over the past few days, Chen Wan felt empathy and couldn't help but curse: "The emperor is so petty!"

The emperor has no mind and demeanor of being a ruler!

Prince Jing's face turned pale and hurried to look around. At this time, there were only the wet nurse and Rong Mama in the room. They were both Chen Wan's close confidants, and they all pretended not to hear it.

Prince Jing was afraid that there would be ears in the partition walls, so he quickly ordered: "Close all the doors and windows!"

After all, this is the Xiyuan Palace, and there are emperors everywhere.

Mama Rong was also scared and immediately went to close the window in person. She looked out the window carefully, and was relieved that there was no one outside.

Prince Jing held Chen Wan's slender shoulders and whispered to comfort him: "Awan, don't worry, Qi Niang will be fine, I will go and ask Doctor Lian to see Qi Niang again."

Chen Wan held one of Gu Zhiyan's hand tightly, looked at her daughter's flushed and sweaty little face, and her heart was cut like a knife.

She still couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "It was clearly his own order to entrust Jishitang as a national clinic, but no one was allowed to go to Jishitang for medical treatment, and I don't know who was slapped in the face!"

Jishitang is now famous in the capital. Rich households and people in the capital will go to Jishitang for medical treatment, but those noble court officials dare not. The emperor has long used various methods to suppress several court officials who have been to Jishitang for medical treatment, killing chickens to warn monkeys. Now all the prefectures know that Jishitang is the emperor's taboo.

For example, because she had sent Gu Zhiyan to Jishitang for medical treatment before, the queen specially summoned her and her third brother and sister Yao into the palace, stepped on her and praised Yao, and asked the eunuch Li of Fengluan Palace to remind her intentionally or unintentionally, saying that she would not affect the future of the county prince for trivial matters or something. Chen Wan could only accept the kindness of the prince Li in a depressed manner.

Mama Rong and her tamper both lowered their heads.

Chen Wan took two deep breaths, shifted her eyes from Gu Zhiyan to Prince Jing, and asked in a difficult voice: "Has Master Xuanjing seen it?"

Prince Jing nodded, "Master Xuanjing said that this talisman paper is a disease-relieving talisman, which looks like the handwriting of Wuweiguan."

Because Chen Wan was not at ease with the talisman paper given by Chu Qianhuang, she asked Prince Jing to take the talisman paper to ask Master Xuanjing for advice, wanting to see what the mystery of this talisman paper has.

Chen Wan: "..."

Chen Wan's expression was dim.

The imperial physician said that the talisman paper was unobstructed, and Taoist Master Xuanjing also said that this was just an ordinary disease-relieving talisman. Even though they all said this, her heart was still full of ups and downs.

She herself had repeatedly compared the talisman paper she asked for and the talisman paper given by Chu Qianhuang. The talismans painted on the two talisman papers were the same, and the pen tip was from the same person, so Prince Jing also agreed with this.

Chen Wan bit her white lower lip slightly, hesitating, and in her dark pupils, it seemed that two forces were stalemate between each other, confronting and fighting...

The room was quiet for a while, and as Gu Zhiyan became more and more burning, she said hoarsely: "Go and take the talisman paper."

As many times before, Rong Mama carefully soaked the talisman paper in a cup of warm water, and fed Gu Zhiyan with her wet nurse and put the talisman water on it.

Half an hour later, Gu Zhiyan's fever began to fade.

Her little face also became peaceful, her eyes closed, so well-behaved and cute, like a jade carved doll, making Chen Wan's heart soft and so sad, and even more distressed.

She repeatedly wiped her daughter's forehead temperature, feeling relieved.

After relaxing, the feeling of fatigue in her heart surged up and she yawned lazily. Suddenly, she found that although she was tired, she did not feel ache on her forehead like before.

Mama Rong pursed her lips and looked at Chen Wan in embarrassment, and said stutteringly: "Princess, you have used up the talisman paper."

Chen Wan: "..."

Prince Jing: “…”

Half a month ago, Chu Qianhuang sent a total of five pieces of talisman paper, but she didn't expect that they would all be used up so soon.

Chen Wan's heart was pounding, and Prince Jing hurriedly said, "Awan, from here to the capital, it's not far away. I will send someone back to Beijing immediately and go to the temple to ask..."

The reason why they walked along the way for more than five days was that the emperor would stop and stop. If they were traveling back to Beijing day and night, they would be able to arrive in less than two days.

Chen Wan responded with great concern, guarded her daughter for a while, and then went back to her room with Prince Jing to rest.

The night was calm.

The next morning, when the sky was white, Chen Wan forced herself to keep her spirits. She and Prince Jing had to go to the hunting platform outside the hunting palace to participate in the hunting ceremony hosted by the emperor.

Although Gu Zhiyan's fever subsided, the little girl was not energetic and it was too cold outside. Chen Wan was afraid that she would blow the wind, so she didn't bring it out.

It was not the first time Chen Wan participated in winter hunting. She appeared in front of the hunting platform with Prince Jing early, and at this time, the rising sun had just risen from the east horizon.

Next was a ceremony for the chief of war. The emperor first worshipped the heaven and earth and ancestors step by step, and then encouraged everyone with great enthusiasm, saying that the leader of the hunting today will have a great reward.

It was not until more than half an hour later that the entire ceremony ended.

With a sob sound of horns, the generals and noble children who had long been eager to try rushed into the mountains and forests, and the horse's hooves rolled away like thunder.

The emperor also entered the hunting ground with several royal nobles accompanied by Lu Siji, commander of the Jinyiwei. Prince Jing, as the royal prince, also went with him.

Chen Wan was about to go back to Yun Xiangzhai to accompany her daughter, but from a distance, she saw Gu Jue and Chu Qianchen coming out of the palace on horseback, and their cloak was flying with the cold wind.

Seeing that the couple were carrying longbows and had arrow bags on their backs, they looked like they were going to go to the hunting ground to hunt, Chen Wan did not come forward to greet him specifically.

Sure enough, the couple rode their horses in the direction of the forest, talking and laughing. Soon, their figures were flooded by the layers of trees and shrubs in the forest.

Chu Qianchen did not see Chen Wan. She entered the forest and played happily with Gu Jue for a long time.

The two of them walked their horses to enjoy and caught some prey together. When they came out of the forest, it was only half past afternoon, and the warm winter sun was hanging directly above.

This trip into the mountain was full of loads.

The baskets on the backs of the two of them were filled with pheasants, wild roe, wild rabbits, etc., all of which were killed with one arrow. There were not many arrows left in Chu Qianchen's sac, but Gu Jue's arrows were not many, which were the ones when he came and left.

Chu Qianchen did not let Gu Jue take action, and these preys were hunted by Chu Qianchen himself.

Chu Qianchen was in a very good mood and had already figured out a hundred ways to make pheasants. In addition to roasting chicken, she could also cook beggar chicken, red dates, jade chestnut and wolfberry chicken, pheasant melon seeds, belly-pack chicken, glutinous rice chicken, shredded chicken porridge...

A light and gentle smile rippled in Gu Jue's eyes.

Just looking at her like this and accompanying her, his mood will become very happy.

He had long discovered that this girl had an unusual obsession with taking care of him, not because of his injuries, nor because she understood medical skills, but just liked to take care of his daily life and liked to be with him... It made him often have the illusion that he was a weak scholar.

Since the little girl likes to be the leader, then he will be responsible for "living soft food".

Gu Jue laughed silently, and his face lit up under the gentle winter sunshine.

Chu Qianchen took the lead in riding out of the mountains and forests. When he turned his head, he saw him laughing. His obsidian-like pupils reflected her figure like a clear lake.

She forgot all the things she originally wanted to say.

The prince looks so good when he smiles!

Chu Qianchen also smiled, bright, bright and sweet, like a child who had the treasure he had always dreamed of.

Suddenly, a gentle female voice came from behind: "Cousin, Princess."

Chu Qianchen moved his eyebrows, pulled off the reins, turned the horse's head over a little, and followed the reputation.

Aside from the high hunting platform, Yuan Zhitong, wearing a thick lilac cloak, walked towards them. The melon-shaped face was filled with a bright smile, and a colorful red gold-embedded treasure hairpin was inserted into her hair. The long pearl tassels kept swaying on her cheeks, shaking and shining.

Behind her was a row of double-eared iron pots, and there were seven or eight girls' homes around them. They were obviously playing with throwing pots together.

After Yuan Zhitong said something to the girls' houses, he walked towards Chu Qianchen and the others gently, with elegant postures and quiet eyes on the beautiful couple immediately.
