Chapter 317 He and She Are Already One
Chapter 317 He and She Are of One Mind
Chu He's current identity is the captain of the Imperial Guard. After returning from Southern Xinjiang, he naturally has to return to the Imperial Guard to serve.
Therefore, you cannot stay outside for too long every day.
So Shu Qing instructed the medicine boy on how to prepare medicine in advance and provide quick care. "Curating Lord Chu's injuries is our priority right now, and since the clinic is busy, I can't come here every day. I've sorted the herbs he needs for both internal and external applications and placed them in the courtyard. You can simply follow my prescriptions and administer them daily."
"Yes." Although Yao Tong is young, he has been with Shu Qing for several months and is already familiar with these things.
Seeing that he had been out for quite some time, Shu Qing was about to say goodbye and return to the clinic.
Zhao Donglin, who was standing nearby, heard this and said, "Then let me take Mr. Shu back."
"Of course!" Shu Qing squinted at him. "Do you really want me, a doctor, to drive the car myself?"
Zhao Donglin chuckled twice and went to harness the horses.
On the way back to the clinic, Shu Qing asked through the carriage door, "Did the Marquis do this on purpose?"
Zhao Donglin cracked his whip and said, "What are you talking about, Mr. Shu? I don't understand."
"Pretending! Still pretending!" Shu Qing grumbled in the car, "There's a military doctor in the mansion, and a doctor from the royal palace that the Marquis is familiar with, but the Marquis chose neither of them. Instead, he asked me, a busy man, to treat Lord Chu's injuries... just to tell Lord Chu that the Marquis and the county lady are now of the same mind."
After all, Chu He knew that he was the county lord's man.
The fact that Mu Rong could easily order him around only showed that their relationship was growing closer.
"The Marquis and the County Lady are of the same mind. What is Mr. Shu talking about?" Zhao Donglin scratched his nose and smiled.
"Bah! The Marquis is young, but he's an old fox, and you're following him, so you're naturally a little fox too!"
Zhao Donglin was unhappy and shrugged: "Mr. Shu, why are you scolding me too? I am a very honest person."
"Are you still doing your duty? If you were doing your duty, how could you have fooled everyone in the Ningguo Mansion? You were sold out, yet you still helped count the silver?" Shu Qing snorted coldly.
Duke Ningguo and Concubine Shu jointly exposed the case of the Prince's Royal Farm, and it was Zhao Donglin's calculations behind it.
Since he was placed in the Ningguo Mansion by Mu Rong last year, in just half a year, he has calculated everything about the Duke's Mansion!
But now, the crown prince has been deposed, and Concubine Shu and Duke Ningguo have also lost the favor of His Majesty because they offended the crown prince.
Not to mention the decline of the He Mansion, but he retired after achieving his goal and returned to work for the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.
Of course he's a little fox. Shu Qing finished speaking bitterly, and Zhao Donglin smiled brightly: "Mr. Shu, you can speak louder and let the whole capital come to judge for me."
Shu Qing: “…”
It really is a little fox!
……
This was the deepest sleep Chu He had had in the past three months.
Although it was only for a short hour.
But for him, it was enough.
He completely ignored the pain in his waist, sat up, put on his undershirt, and then put on his bamboo green flying fish suit.
Everything is like flowing water.
But when he was tying the straps, when his fingertips accidentally brushed against the bamboo green straps, he was slightly distracted.
In his previous life, he was the high and mighty commander of the Imperial Guards, clad in a red sandalwood flying fish robe, his aura of unrivaled authority unmatched. But on the day the Weiyuan Marquis's residence was raided, when he stood before her, looking at her, a full head shorter than him, he felt incredibly insignificant.
The raging fire behind her made him understand: Although she had been treated coldly and unloved in the Marquis' Mansion in the past few years, at the most critical moment, she still chose to save the Mu family army for Mu Rong.
He even sacrificed his own life for Mu Rong.
Living his life over again, he wanted to ask her countless times, why?
What's so good about Mu Rong?
What’s so good about Weiyuan Marquis Mansion?
But he didn't dare to ask.
He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, she would remember the person who killed her, that is, himself.
And now, he couldn't ask anymore.
Last night when he stood in front of the door of Zhuxiang Yayuan, watching Mu Rong walking slowly towards her with her in his arms, and watching her fall drunk in that man's arms without any scruples.
What’s the point of asking those questions again?
If you think about it carefully, Mu Rong’s cold treatment in her previous life could cost her her life.
What about this life?
As a first-rank military marquis, he was responsible for the military safety of the Great Zhou, but for her, he gave up half of his internal strength and transferred the cold poison from her to himself.
He endured the pain of being frozen for her.
Even death...
And he was silently paying for all this.
Mu Rong told him that apart from him, only Shu Qing knew the truth about this matter, and even the death squads and subordinates in the marquis' mansion were kept in the dark.
Tell Shu Qing that he needs Shu Qing's treatment to keep it a secret from Xu Rongrong.
And she told herself this because...if Shu Qing hadn't developed the antidote in five years, then before he died of the poison, someone would need to send her out of the capital so that she would never know the truth.
This person is the only one who is most suitable.
Mu Rong...you are really calculating.
Chu He smiled bitterly and walked out the door.
When the little medicine boy saw him coming out, he hurried forward and took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to him: "Master Chu, here is the hemostatic ointment. If you feel uncomfortable in the palace, you can apply it."
"No need." Chu He, who was feeling upset, waved his hand.
The little medicine boy was so frightened that he quickly grabbed the porcelain bottle and said, "What a close call! This is the only bottle of ointment the county lady prepared earlier. It was almost broken."
Chu He paused: "You said it was assigned by the county lord?"
The medicine boy nodded. "That's right! This contains the ointment that the county lady prepared using Sanguisorba officinalis. It's incredibly effective, and this is the last bottle left. Master couldn't bear to sell it! The ointment sold in the clinic and drugstore now is all made by Master according to the county lady's prescription."
Chu He spread out his hands: "Give it to me."
"Hmm." The little medicine boy handed it over, confused. "Master Chu, are you going back to the palace now?"
Chuhe nodded.
There will be no peace in the palace tonight.
And he must protect her well.
