At the entrance of the eldest princess's residence, Zhou Yiliu put his hands in a hand warmer sewn with fur, walked up and down under the eaves, and kept looking around.

In the evening, the snow fell again.

It was very cold, and she kept moving around, feeling a little anxious.

Will this little lady Zhang come or not?

The lantern outside the gate of the eldest princess's mansion exudes a hazy light.

The wind and snow gradually became thicker. Zhou Yiliu sighed and was about to turn around and go back to the house when he saw a donkey cart approaching in front of the street.

The donkey cart moved slowly, and the green cloth curtains fell in the flying snow, which made it look a bit shabby.

Zhou Yiliu smiled slightly and looked at Xin Yi's face peeking out from under the curtain.

"Lady Zhang is finally here."

"Sorry for the long wait."

In fact, Xin Yi calculated the time well, but the donkey on the road failed to live up to expectations. When it started to snow heavily, it became a little lazy and refused to go. And Xin Yi was not willing to whip it with a whip, so he could only coax the donkey along the way and say nice things to it.

, I finally arrived after all the trickery and temptation, but it was still a quarter of an hour late.

She apologized and handed the ointment to Zhou Yiliu.

"Has the prince come back?"

Zhou Yiliu said: "I went back in the afternoon and am resting in the mansion."

After saying that, she looked down at the simple bundle in her hand and frowned inadvertently. When she raised her head, her gentle smile returned.

"The officials were reluctant to let the prince suffer, so they gave him a lot of good medicine. Mr. Zhou has already used it on the prince's behalf..."

Xin Yi chuckled: "Then what I did is a bit superfluous."

"I will tell the prince what Madam Zhang wants." After Zhou Yiliu said this, he put the baggage in his arms, put his hands into the hand warmer, saluted Xin Yi, and warned slowly.

"The wind and snow are getting serious. Madam Zhang, please go back early. The road is slippery, so be careful..."

After she said that, she was about to go back home, but Xin Yi stopped her.

"Miss Zhou."

Zhou Yiliu turned around and asked, "Ms. Zhang, do you have anything else to do?"

Xin Yi was a little embarrassed, "Well... there is something I forgot first. I'm afraid I have to go to the palace to pay a visit to the Prince of Guangling and ask him to get something. I also have to trouble Lady Zhou to pass it on. Sorry.

Sorry, I forgot about this before, I just happened to come over at this time, take it and leave."

Zhou Yiliu's expression changed slightly.

This woman was indeed not that honest. She said she would give her the ointment and never saw her again, but then she turned around and went back on her word.

She snorted softly from the wings of her nose, as if she was smiling.

"What does Mrs. Zhang want to take?"

Xin Yi frowned.

What she wanted to take was "The Fragments of the King of Medicine" and "Chen's Materia Medica" left by Chen Chusheng. These two ancient medical books have long been lost in later generations. Xin Yi had seen someone mention them in other medical books before, out of his interest in medicine

She was obsessed with it, and she felt like she had found a treasure. But the situation was urgent before, and she didn't even have the chance to read it carefully. How could she be willing to give it to Fu Jiuqu like this?

Therefore, she must take back the medical book, so she is not afraid of being shameless.

"Mrs. Xiao Zhou, this...it's not convenient for me to tell you."

Xin Yi saw that Zhou Yiliu's face looked a little ugly and softened his voice.

"Don't worry, I'll just take the things and leave... I won't embarrass the eldest princess. I've caused trouble to Mrs. Zhou, could you please go in and pass the news for me?"

"Ms. Zhang is joking, don't bother me, that's what I should do. However, I can't decide whether the prince sees you or not." Zhou Yiliu said, turning around and entering the door.

Then before Xin Yi said thank you, he closed the door.

Xin Yi stood outside the door, rubbed his frozen hands, took a breath to his mouth, and secretly cursed himself for being stupid.

How could you forget such an important thing? You should have asked Fu Jiuqu to get it back yesterday, which would have saved you the embarrassment today and avoided Zhou Yiliu's misunderstanding.

~~

Linqu Pavilion.

Fu Jiuqu was lying on a imperial concubine's couch. He was wearing a loose robe, his long hair was not tied up, and his pale handsome face was half covered. His emotions were hard to explain.

Sun Huai was wiping his sweat, and Duan Sui was helping him turn over the book.

Duan Sui turned a page and Sun Huai wiped it.

Sun Huai wiped it and Duan Sui turned a page.

Then, Sun Huai made tut-tsk sounds from time to time.

"Look at this pale face... It hurts so much. Master, you have suffered a lot. I feel so bad for you. I really want to bear this pain for you..."

Fu Jiuqu turned his head and stared at him, "Seriously?"

Sun Huai froze nervously and chuckled, "I have this filial piety, but I don't have the ability to replace my father."

Fu Jiuqu snorted, "Next time you flatter me, consider how sincere you are. If you piss me off, pull down the butt stick for fifty."

"Don't, don't, don't." Sun Huai kept laughing, "I'd better spare the little one's fat butt, I don't like being looked at by outsiders..."

Fu Jiuqu cut his eyes coldly, turned back lazily, stared at the page and stopped talking.

Duan Sui originally wanted to laugh at Sun Huai for flattering the horse's leg, but he held the book in his hands for a long time, but he didn't say "turn it over". Looking at the expression of the prince, he looked like an old monk practicing Zen.

As if in trance, his eyes remained motionless, which made him very curious...

Is this page so beautiful?

Duan Sui lowered his head to take a look.

"The doctor checked his pulse outside the tent, and the young lady took a closer look inside the curtain. She saw that the husband had handsome features, fair skin and a charming appearance... If I could be a husband and wife with him for a short period of time... Master Jiu, don't you think this sentence is right?

It doesn’t hurt so much anymore? Hehehe.”

"Sun Huai."

Fu Jiuqu suddenly turned his head, as if he didn't hear Duan Sui's words, and he didn't read the content of the storybook at all. What he asked was irrelevant.

"When did the children leave?"

Sun Huai was about to change into a clean handkerchief when he heard the words and was a little confused.

"The younger one walked with me, not knowing much about it... But I heard from the porter that after breakfast, he said goodbye to the eldest princess and left. The eldest princess sent a cart, took a lot of things, and asked the cart driver to take them there.

The four ladies are sent back to the village. I can rest in peace and recuperate, I can’t leave them alone..."

"Hmph!" Fu Jiuqu was beaten so hard that his muscles and bones were injured and the pain was burning. He was already upset, but after hearing Sun Huai's words, his face became even colder.

"You are a heartless person, and you won't wait until I come back to say goodbye before leaving."

Sun Huai and Duan Sui looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.

On the surface, this statement sounds like he is saying that the three children are ignorant and did not say goodbye to him. But what do the children know? It is clearly referring to their ignorant stepmother...

Sun Huai didn't answer. Duan Sui wasn't as transparent as him, so he pushed the situation and said: "How can a child know etiquette at such a young age? It's not because the mother didn't teach her well! Master Jiu suffered this crime for Mrs. Zhang.

Since she is a doctor, she doesn’t wait for Master Jiu to come back and check it out before leaving like that. She really has no conscience..."

Sun Huai kept winking at him, but Duan Sui didn't even notice.

After saying this, Fu Jiuqu's face dropped, he chuckled again and pointed to the book in his hand.

"Master Jiu, do you want to turn another page? I want to know whether this romantic man and the pretty widow have achieved their good deeds..."

"Take it away!" Fu Jiuqu said coldly, pushed the book away, propped it on the edge of the couch and tried to turn over. With this movement, a heartbreaking pain hit him, making him shiver all over. The veins on the back of his hands were visible, and his face turned pale.

"Master, my master, just give me whatever instructions you want..."

"roll roll roll!"

Fu Jiuqu interrupted Sun Huai coldly and threw the script at Duan Sui.

"Who bought the storybook? Go give me a beating."

Sun Huai:......

Duan Sui:......

Two people, you look at me and I look at you, you point at me and I point at you.

"Cheng Cang! Cheng Cang bought it..."

Boom! Cheng Cang just knocked on the door and came in, nipping the ongoing frame-up in the cradle. He didn't seem to hear anyone speaking ill of him behind his back, and stepped forward with a serious expression, clasping his fists and saluting Fu Jiuqu.

"Prince, Madam Xiao Zhou would like to see you."

Fu Jiuqu's face was expressionless, "What's the matter?"

Cheng Cang raised his head and said, "Send the medicine."

Fu Jiuqu was impatient and said, "If you have nothing to do, please let her go."
