Chapter 233 Not convinced
Yanzhou.
"Guier's injury cannot be cured?" Prince Yan, sitting at the top, asked the miracle doctor.
His expression showed neither joy nor sadness, and the doctor couldn't guess what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty, someone added pollen from the Faceless Flower to Madam Gui's ointment, so it is bound to leave scars."
The miracle doctor couldn't help but feel fortunate that he came back early enough, otherwise he would have been the unlucky guy sacrificed to the heaven by Hua Guiqing.
"How could someone have tampered with it? Didn't you check it again before she applied it?" King Yan couldn't control his anger and got mad at the miracle doctor.
"Your Majesty, you urged me to come back for the princess to see, and I dare not delay. Besides, after I came back, the princess would not let me leave the house. Whenever I went out, I had someone follow me, and I was afraid of revealing the whereabouts of the lady."
The miracle doctor calmed down a little and defended himself reasonably.
"How is the princess' health? Are you really weak? Do you have any martial arts skills?" The Prince of Yan did not pursue the matter any further and asked about the princess' health.
"The princess's health is indeed not as good as Madam Gui's. After the prince disappeared, the princess's problems broke out completely. She needs to be well taken care of after she returns. As for her martial arts, I didn't detect any of it from my pulse."
King Yan nodded, "Let's talk about it when you can come back!"
When the miracle doctor heard this, he was shocked. Is it certain that he will never come back?
Is that lady really that nice? But she is not in the limelight.
When Prince Yan was still a prince, he met Hua Guiqing.
At that time, the Hua family was still guarding the north and holding the military power.
The Prince of Yan was not favored by the late emperor, and the emperor did not allow him to make friends or marry with military generals.
Although others didn't know that the Prince of Yan was playing two-timing, he knew it.
He is a miracle doctor and also the former imperial physician.
It was he who suppressed Jiang Zhu's original poison.
He was also the one who prepared the poison that Jiang Zhu was poisoned with later.
He never married, had no children, and his parents were no longer alive.
When he was in the capital before, he knew the Prince of Yan's plan.
Prince Yan's ambition was no secret to him.
The miracle doctor's name is Fang Kuo, and he grew up as childhood sweethearts with Prince Yan's mother, Concubine Hui.
If Concubine Hui had not entered the palace, Fang Kuo would have married her.
After Concubine Hui left, Fang Kuo also retired and returned to his hometown, following the King of Yan to Yanzhou.
He witnessed the transformation of Prince Yan from a young boy to a wise prince.
He also saw the entanglements between Prince Yan and Hua Guiqing and Nalan Huixin.
"Uncle Fang, what is the origin of the incense Guier uses?"
The osmanthus scent on Hua Guiqing's body is her innate body odor. She also likes to use spices. The mixture of the two scents creates an inexplicable smell.
"She must have mixed it herself. It has some medicinal smell that makes people irritable. Think about it, is the incense she uses different every time?"
Fang Kuo did not point it out explicitly, but just gave a subtle reminder.
They are like father and son, but not biologically.
There are some things that he can't explain too clearly.
King Yan clenched his fists, "I didn't expect that even she would lie to me! I have always cared about her."
"They don't live in the palace, so they haven't seen you for a few days. When a woman has children, she will naturally plan for the long term."
Fang Kuo lowered his eyes and recalled the scene when Concubine Hui entrusted her son to him.
"No wonder I became irritable for a few days. I became much calmer when I went there."
King Yan combined the two and discovered the secret.
"She feels uneasy. You are her only lifeline, so she will desperately hold on to you."
Fang Kuo said this, stood up and left.
Among them, he prefers Princess Yan more.
Girls raised in civil servants' families are indeed generous, but they are obsessed with love and neglect their children.
There are good girls in military generals' families, but Hua Guiqing is an exception. She is obviously a brave and heroic woman, but she pretends to be weak and fragile.
Only the prince likes her and falls for her tricks.
Fang Kuo shook his head and didn't want to think about all this.
He couldn't do anything about it, so he wouldn't interfere. From now on, he would concentrate on treating illnesses and regulating the health of the several masters of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Prince Yan sat in his study and remained silent for a long time.
He already had an idea in his mind, but he was hesitant to believe it.
Young love is ultimately no match for time.
Hua Guiqing became like this for herself and her two children.
"An Yi, pay more attention to Gui Er's situation and don't let her do anything out of line again."
King Yan ordered in a cold voice.
An Yi had been hiding in the study, and he understood Fang Kuo's meaning very clearly.
"Your Majesty, if we find that Madam Gui is playing tricks on the spices again, we——"
"Destroy it directly!" The King of Yan was intimidating without even getting angry.
An Yi felt relieved and no longer worried.
The lady could no longer do whatever she wanted as before, which made things easier for them.
"Why did your son leave home? Didn't you notice before he left?"
When it comes to Jiang Ru, King Yan is indeed angry.
Jiang Lan really intends to keep him in good condition and he is not capable of handling important tasks.
In the past few years, he did like Hua Guiqing's two sons, but they practiced martial arts and did not like literature.
In the long run, we still need to govern the country with culture.
If he were to be adopted, he would prefer Jiang Ru to go to the capital.
The two kings, Ming and Li, were unaware of the situation and rashly sent troops out, so Yanzhou would not gain any advantage.
The King of Yan was happy to see that the dynasty could become orthodox without having to fight a single soldier.
He had just wanted to train Jiang Ru well these days, but he disappeared.
None of the servants were brought along.
It was only after receiving a letter from Jiang Zhu that he learned that Jiang Ru had followed him to the border without saying a word.
King Yan pursed his lips and said nothing.
"My Lord, do you want to bring Master Ru back?"
An Yi asked cautiously.
This time they were indeed negligent. They only focused on the princess's yard and did not send anyone to monitor other places.
"No need. Let Zhan'er prepare. If Jiang Lan comes back safe and sound, he will go to the border to accumulate military merits."
Prince Yan had no expression on his face, and when he mentioned Jiang Lan, it was as if he was talking about an unimportant person.
"The prince probably won't be able to come back. We have sent many good fighters there. Even the princess might be in danger."
An Yi was a little nervous. After all, they were important masters in Prince Yan's Mansion. If the prince went back on his word, they would be the first to be silenced.
"It turns out that the Nalan family's power is always making excuses. If anything happens to the mother and son, those people will definitely step in."
King Yan smiled coldly, glanced sideways at the letter, and put it away.
This letter was "specially" written by Princess Yan the night before she left.
By then, we won’t have to worry about those old guys not coming to Yanzhou.
When An Yi saw that smile, he felt cold all over.
It might be a good thing for Master Ru to leave here.
Jiang Ru left Prince Yan's Mansion and followed Jiang Zhu to the border of Yanzhou. He was very happy.
"Changhe, you really didn't lie to me, this is magnificent!"
Jiang Ru came out of the palace these days and has changed from his previous gloomy self.
"Master Ru, the general said that you will have to train with the new soldiers tomorrow morning."
"Why! My sister can be a deputy general, why should a man like me start as a soldier? I don't accept it!"
Jiang Ru was furious and broke into Jiang Zhu's tent.
