Chapter 189 The only woman who made Xiao Wang make an exception
Chu Xingchen had already told himself not to think too much, but what Xiao Wang did today and the look in his eyes made Chu Xingchen unable to help but confirm again.
Then she saw the smile in Xiao Wang's eyes disappear little by little.
The atmosphere was tense for a moment. The shopkeeper was confused and cautiously asked what was going on.
"It's okay." Xiao Wang came back to his senses, "Madam, let's go down first."
In the end, Xiao Wang didn't answer her question.
Probably to save face for her.
Back on the carriage, Chu Xingchen pulled out the five-color thread on her wrist twice. Apart from anything else, it looked pretty good on her. She hadn't worn it for a long, long time.
"Your Highness, don't throw it away casually. You have to wait until it rains and throw it into the river." Xiao Wang looked at her and said, "I will ask Your Highness to get it when it rains next time."
"Okay." Chu Xingchen nodded and glanced at Xiao Wang, "Zongzi...are you not sick?"
She asked twice if he liked her, which must have annoyed him.
When Xiao Wang heard this, his hands tightened. He felt sick? Those were the rice dumplings she had eaten. How could he feel sick?
"No."
"That's good." Chu Xingchen nodded, paused, "By the way, don't take the question I just asked to heart, I won't ask it again in the future, and I know what to do."
Nothing more than three is enough.
Xiao Wang's hands tightened immediately, she didn't know.
She doesn't know anything.
"Your Highness, can you...wait for me?" Just wait a little longer.
Chu Xingchen looked at Xiao Wang, "What are you waiting for?"
Xiao Wang didn't know how to answer for a moment, and the atmosphere in the carriage became dull. Just as Xiao Wang was thinking about what to say, a carriage came after him.
The person chasing after him was the owner of the restaurant, and he took the initiative to invite Chu Xingchen and Xiao Wang to eat at their restaurant for free, as a way of thanking them.
The hospitality was hard to refuse, and the shopkeeper's attitude was too good. Chu Xingchen didn't particularly want to go anywhere, so he agreed as long as Xiao Wang didn't object.
The restaurant's business was good, and the shopkeeper sent Chu Xingchen and the others directly to the private room, which was facing the street. There was a gentle breeze and it felt pretty good.
The shopkeeper once again brought rice dumplings and realgar wine with tea eggs. Just as Xiao Wang poured the wine for Chu Xingchen, Jinyan suddenly knocked on the door and came in.
"Young Master, someone has delivered a letter."
The letter arrived suddenly. It was a letter rather than a note. After reading it, Xiao Wang's eyes flashed with joy, "Madam, I'm going out for a moment."
Chu Xingchen hummed.
Chu Xingchen watched Xiao Wang leave, and the expression on his face became a little unbearable. He rubbed his face and took a big sip of wine.
Chu Xingchen clenched his chin while watching the people coming and going downstairs, waiting for Xiao Wang to come back, but unexpectedly saw Xiao Wang.
Xiao Wang stood at the corner not far away, talking to a man. The man's back was turned to her. She didn't know who it was. After a while, a woman got off the carriage next to her and saluted Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang smiled.
Return the gift.
Chu Xingchen couldn't help but sit up straight and watched Xiao Wang say a few words to the woman and come back.
His steps were excited, but the woman behind him was not in a hurry to get back to the car, she just looked at his back.
Chu Xingchen sat up straight, looked away, and watched Xiao Wang return to the private room after a moment.
He walked quickly, panting slightly. After sitting down, he looked at Chu Xingchen and said, "Your Highness, can I ask you a favor?"
"What's the deal?"
"I just met the old Valley Master. He said that there is a registered disciple, Sun Yueqing, who has always wanted to enter the palace and become a medical girl." Xiao Wang looked at Chu Xingchen, "Your Highness, can you let her enter the palace and become a medical girl?"
Chu Xingchen immediately thought of the woman just now. She glanced at Xiao Wang and asked, "Are you familiar with her?"
Xiao Wang shook his head, "She's not familiar with her, but don't worry, Your Highness, she's fine. She comes from an official family, but her family has declined in recent years. She taught herself medical skills for her mother, and her medical skills are pretty good."
The old valley master said that although he was only a registered disciple, Sun Yueqing was very talented and had some shadow of Wuniang back then.
Sun Yueqing is self-taught, and the old Valley Master doesn't have the energy to teach her from beginning to end. Instead, it is better to let her go to the palace to read the medical books of the Taiyuan Hospital, and then see the medicinal materials in the palace. Maybe she will have some inspiration to prepare the medicine. Here comes the antidote.
What the old Valley Master meant was to try to detoxify Xiao Wang, so that he could keep track of Xiao Wang's condition at any time, and also prevent Xiao Wang from being poisoned again and avoid more troublesome situations.
The old Valley Master said he would give it a try, but in fact it was just a vague hope, but Xiao Wang was too desperate and was unwilling to let go of any hope because he really couldn't wait any longer.
He will not change, but Chu Xingchen still has Shen Cangzhu, Lingzhou Zhou Buyan, and she will not always wait for him where he is.
She was already disappointed in him and he couldn't wait any longer.
Xiao Wang looked at Chu Xingchen, with an urgency in his eyes that he didn't know he had.
Chu Xingchen looked at him, paused for a moment and then nodded, "...Okay."
There are only a few female doctors in the palace, so if you have the skills, just come.
"Thank you, Your Highness, I asked her to come to see you."
Xiao Wang stood up and went to call someone, but Chu Xingchen hurriedly said, "No, you just have to take a look."
Xiao Wang was stunned for a moment, "Okay, then I'll go and talk to her."
Xiao Wang went out. Chu Xingchen didn't look at it this time and just started eating.
When Xiao Wang came back, Chu Xingchen had already eaten rice dumplings and eggs, and the restaurant had begun to serve food.
Xiao Wang ordered the dishes, which were basically Chu Xingchen's favorite dishes, but she didn't eat much of them.
"What's wrong? Doesn't it taste good?" Xiao Wang originally thought it tasted pretty good.
"I just ate rice dumplings and eggs, and I'm a little full. You should eat quickly. Their food tastes pretty good." In fact, she seemed to have eaten too much, and her stomach felt hard and a little painful.
"Um."
The shopkeeper personally delivered fresh fruits and asked them how they enjoyed their meal. Chu Xingchen said it was very good. He diverted his attention and asked the shopkeeper if he had used snowflake salt to get feedback.
"Yes, we just use snowflake salt, which is delicious and cheap. Anyone who doesn't use it is a fool."
When the shopkeeper talked about the snowflake salt, his brows were full of gratitude, "We were afraid that the snowflake salt would be just a flash in the pan and the price would rise soon, so we specially stocked up a lot of it, but it never happened. We wake up laughing every day in our dreams."
Xiao Wang glanced at Chu Xingchen, with pride flashing in his eyes. He liked hearing these people's praise of Chu Xingchen. He originally opened the door and was about to go out, but couldn't help but slow down and listen to the shopkeeper's compliments.
The shopkeeper was really excited, and he was sincere in his praise, but at this moment, someone didn't have a good idea.
"Why are you making such a fuss? People who don't know better would think that your family sells snowflake salt. Get lost!"
The door of the next room was suddenly kicked open, and a fat-bellied man with a shiny face appeared, cursing and about to kick the shopkeeper.
"Stop!" Chu Xingchen and Xiao Wang said together.
Besides them, another person also shouted "Stop!"
The pot-bellied man heard something was wrong in the voice and turned around quickly.
Someone came out of the cubicle quickly, pushed him away and looked at Chu Xingchen and Xiao Wang, his eyes full of disbelief, "Your Majesty... why are you here?"
