Mi Yuexi was in a panic.
There is no reason for Qiao Xiang to appear here.
She was the Queen's person, so why would she come into contact with Chu Bu She? Moreover, it happened to be after she entered the palace. Could it be that the Queen knew about her situation? !
But Queen Mi was her blood relative, and Mi Yuexi thought that if her sister really found out, there would be nothing she could do. At worst, she could just tell her sister clearly and ask for further help.
It's better than letting down your master and embarrassing yourself in front of him.
Mi Yuexi put on a little makeup to conceal her appearance, put on her maid's outfit, and opened the door of the clinic.
squeak-
The door opened slightly.
A maid with an elegant figure came out. Her real face was not revealed, and her facial features were hidden by a blindfold and a veil.
Everyone nearby knew that Prince Rong had recently taken in a mysterious maid, who covered her eyes and dressed exactly like the previous female guard. Even though they had seen Chu Bushe taking this maid out several times, there were still many people looking at her when they saw her appear at the door of the clinic.
Mi Yuexi said nonchalantly:
"The owner of the clinic is out of the capital. Please go elsewhere to seek medical advice. If you want to see His Royal Highness Prince Rong, you can wait inside."
Qiao Xiang said:
"I see. My master heard that His Royal Highness Prince Rong was very close to a distinguished guest in the palace, so he wanted to have a chat."
The distinguished guest in the palace... Concubine Yin?
The only one who can make the queen pay attention to her is the imperial concubine.
Moreover, when the Queen was plotting against the Imperial Concubine, Chu Bushe also helped save the Imperial Concubine.
Mi Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said that Chu Bushe's schedule for the day was uncertain and he had left the clinic in the morning.
As soon as the door of the clinic was closed, Qiaoxiang walked two blocks away. When there were fewer people around, Mi Yuexi suddenly appeared.
She pretended to meet him by chance and said in surprise:
"Qiaoxiang, why are you here? Are you here to buy jade again?"
Qiao Xiang showed a look of surprise, and she nodded in response:
"Yes, Miss...Miss Mi, are you staying nearby? My master wants to see you."
Because it was on the street, even if there were not as many pedestrians as on a busy street, if anyone mentioned words like "leader" or "queen" in conversation, people would still notice it.
"No, I just happened to run into Qiao Xiang. What does your master want from me?"
Qiao Xiang continued cryptically, "My master suddenly felt unwell and wanted to find a doctor to diagnose him these days, so I thought of you, Miss Mi."
Mi Yuexi understood Qiao Xiang's meaning. The Queen wanted to invite her to the palace for a meeting, so she asked Qiao Xiang to try her luck and see if she could run into her.
"When exactly does the girl's master want to see me?"
"After all, the matter of diagnosing a disease is urgent. The earliest is tomorrow and the latest is the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, tomorrow then."
After confirming the time to meet in the palace, Qiaoxiang turned and left without any further greetings.
After Mi Yuexi returned to the clinic, she was puzzled and muttered to herself:
"It's for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Sister, you're so anxious to see me. Could it be that you've already found out the news?"
She didn't think deeply about it, because Queen Mi was one of the people she trusted most.
I am curious about how Chu Bu She will react after he knows the information. He will at least help her treat two more meridians, right?
However, Mi Yuexi thought of her sister, the Queen, who was worried about Chu Bushe's close relationship with Concubine Yin, and began to wonder if she could help and get Chu Bushe to switch to the Queen's side to reduce her pressure.
......
on the street.
The palace maid Qiaoxiang was walking along a street and passed by a jade shop owned by a woman named Xu.
She saw Qiaoxiang, an old customer, walking past the store and thought she was distracted.
Xu knew that Qiaoxiang was a palace dweller and that her master was noble, so she naturally treated her with a special attitude. She immediately put down her account books and abacus and walked out to greet her enthusiastically.
"Qiaoxiang, you walked past..."
Xu's words paused. She found that Qiao Xiang was a little strange today. There was a dignity and indifference in her eyes like those of a superior. The young woman even wondered if she had seen it wrong.
However, this feeling was fleeting, and Qiaoxiang soon turned back into the steady, smiling and elegant girl she usually was.
"Oh, Shopkeeper Xu, I was just thinking about my master and was lost in thought."
"That's what I said. Go in and sit down and think about it slowly. I'll make you some tea. We just got a new batch of goods. Wait until Qiaoxiang has thought it through and then we can take a look~!"
Qiaoxiang followed the wealthy woman and sat down in the jade shop. The shop owner simply closed the door and did not accept any customers for the time being, allowing Qiaoxiang to think quietly.
The Qiaoxiang who left the palace today was naturally the Empress Mi Wangshu, who had not stepped out of the palace for many years except on important days.
At first, it was indeed Qiao Xiang who came to inform Mi Yuexi, but the Queen became more and more uncomfortable and came to see for herself.
Even though she knew in advance that her sister was in the clinic, it was even more difficult for Queen Mi to calm down when she actually saw her sister.
Everything seemed to have become a mess since Chu Bushe rescued Concubine Yin, both her advantageous situation and the solid position of her master Du Shixuan.
Queen Mi sighed deeply and put the matter aside for the moment. She looked at the street scene with emotion and whispered:
"I haven't been out for a walk like this for many years. Leaving the palace feels like going on a long journey..."
......
......
Chu Bu She took the finished Seven Souls Fruit to the pawn shop and started to refine the elixir with Yi Yi Han.
Originally, I wanted to let the old pharmacist under Yuhua Pavilion take over, but when I thought about the several 500-year-old medicinal herbs, I couldn't trust an outsider pharmacist and they might leak the news.
So, after practicing with other herbs a few times, the two decided to make the elixir themselves.
Yi Yihan had come into contact with so many treasures before, so when he put the raw medicinal materials into the furnace this time, his delicate hands trembled slightly, and he felt reluctant to let go.
Bai Musk was eating snacks on the side, occasionally looking at the two people's expressions of reluctance to give up their loved ones, and struggling to put the herbs into the stove.
It was such a joy to watch the show. Young people are so interesting. They have so many expressions even when making pills and boiling medicines.
And the result was as expected - failure.
The alchemy process was clearly carried out in strict accordance with the records in ancient books, with every detail being flawless and without any negligence, yet it failed.
Yi Yihan looked at the waste Yuanhun Pill in his hand and couldn't bear to look at it:
"Before today, there were a few ancient medicinal herbs that were worthless, but in the blink of an eye, they became worthless..."
To say that it is worthless is a bit of an understatement. The waste pill still retains excellent medicinal effects. The foundation of the medicinal materials is there, and it is stronger than the best Huiyuan Pill on the market.
But the blow brought by this gap is too great.
The girl was the first to feel sad, but Chu Bu She was not willing to show his sadness, so he comforted her:
"It's okay, Yihan. Didn't we prepare for failure beforehand? I'll just try a few more times and you'll get used to it!"
Yi Yihan perked up a little, nodded slightly, and sighed in his heart:
"I was wondering, if the road to the Immortal Mystery is so expensive, how many people can get past this initial elixir barrier? This is not a very practical road."
Even if all the existing old medicines in the world were used to make elixirs, I'm afraid they would not be enough to allow a person to enter that mysterious and profound realm, right?
"Perhaps the elixir is just one of the ways. In the future, relying solely on practice, I can barely overcome the bottleneck?"
"Well, then I'll have to trouble you from now on to continue preparing the herbs for our 'extravagant' behavior."
Yi Yihan found a small box, wiped off the ash from the waste pill, put it into the exquisite box, and gave it to Chu Bushe to dispose of.
But he was mostly allowed to keep it for healing. Yi Yihan couldn't sell pills with such medicinal properties, as if they were put on the market, people would notice them.
"No, are you ready to go?"
The woman with a beautiful face and skin as white as jade called out to Chu Bushe when she saw that he was about to leave.
Chu Bushe had to go to Prince Yu's Mansion. After returning from Qianlong Island, he was waiting for Concubine Yin to come out, so naturally he had to go there.
"Yes, there is something. Is there anything else Yi Han wants me to do?"
"No, there's still a basket of dim sum and a bowl of peach gum and bird's nest stewed in milk in the kitchen, and Bai She hasn't finished eating them yet...why don't you wait a little longer before leaving?"
"It's just one cage. It will only take a moment."
"I mean a whole big steamer, not a plate."
"..."
You are willing to spend money on Baishe. Rich girls are really generous.
Chu Bushe had plenty of money, but he could only take Bai She to eat all the delicacies in the capital. However, Yi Yi Han was able to call famous chefs from far and near in the Great Zhou to come and let Bai She taste the local delicacies.
When Bai She heard about the stewed milk, which he had never tasted before, he said without any regret:
"No, go do your job. I'll come find you after I finish eating."
"..."
Wow, this is Forgotten Milk. I thought you would follow me without any regrets.
But the people are in the capital, and if there is any big commotion, Baishe will be able to arrive at the first time, so there is nothing to worry about.
......
Chu Bushe came to the back door of Prince Yu's mansion, picked up a small stone with ease, and prepared to knock on the flower.
When he looked up, he was stunned.
"The windows of this Jinse are too lively. They are different every time."
I still remember that the last time I came back, Princess Yu took away her hairpin in anger, leaving only the princess's hair ornaments on the window.
This time, Princess Yu's golden hairpin was hung up again, and there was another hairpin, which belonged to Concubine Yin.
Chu Bu She was very sure that he had seen this hairpin when he held down the back of Concubine Yin's head before.
"What are you two women trying to do? You're blocking Jinse's hair flower behind you."
Unfortunately, Chu Bushe was a good archer, and he was also skilled in throwing stones and darts.
Passing through the two hairpins and accurately hitting Jinse's hair ornament was no problem at all!
Just as Chu Bushe raised his hand, a maid called him. This was Concubine Yin's people.
"Your Highness, please come in." The maid bowed respectfully and humbly.
"How can this be called a rip-off... May I ask if this is the Imperial Concubine's intention or the Princess's?"
The maid looked strange, and stammered in a low voice:
"All of them. Your Highness, please stop asking questions and go in first, or you will punish me."
There was no other way. Chu Bushe, who was used to going through the back door at Jinse's place, had to go through the main door quietly when he was greeted by two mature and beautiful ladies.
Chapter 103: Concubine Yin’s Excuse
Near the main gate of Prince Yu's mansion, the maids guarding the gate were replaced by women who were skilled in martial arts, and there were also secret guards pretending to be passers-by, observing the movements around them.
Anyone who tries to spy on what's going on here will be killed at any time and eliminated silently by the guards in the dark.
Outsiders only knew that Concubine Yin came to meet her best friend, the princess, but it was difficult to know whether there were any outsiders entering the palace.
Chu Bushe was invited in openly, but he felt a little uneasy as if he was guilty.
He still had some self-awareness as "Mr. Wang next door", but which Mr. Wang could come and go so freely?
"Boom, boom, boom."
After knocking lightly on the door, Chu Bushe pushed it open and walked in.
Concubine Yin was sitting on the seat. She was wearing a black robe with gold plating. The sleeves were loose, revealing a pair of fair and graceful hands. The dress was tight, outlining her mature and voluptuous figure. The narrow belt seemed to be tied around her waist at first glance, but at second glance it seemed to be supporting her plump breasts, stabilizing her waist and preventing it from being bent by the heavy fruits.
When Concubine Yin is silent, she has the dignified and sophisticated temperament of a lady from the inner chamber.
But when she saw the young and strong man walking into the room, the look she gave him became extremely beautiful and charming again, and it seemed as if she had turned into a seductive beauty in an instant.
"Where is Princess Yu? Why are you the only one here?"
