"Actually, it's not a big deal. You should know Concubine Shen."
Gu Huaian asked someone to pass a cup of tea to Nie Tianyi.
"I know, but I wonder what Mr. Gu wants to do with his resignation?"
Nie Tianyi naturally knew about Concubine Shen in the palace, but she was grounded by the emperor. He also knew about the last time Concubine Meng's maid came to ask his master to treat Concubine Shen.
"I hope you can replace your master to help Concubine Shen see a doctor tomorrow, and give me a message."
Gu Huaian's words shocked Nie Tianyi. He couldn't help but think that Concubine Shen was caught having an affair with someone. Could that person be Gu Huaian
Gu Huaian didn't know what he was thinking, so he continued: "I wonder if you are willing?"
At this time, Nie Tianyi was wandering in the sky. He suddenly saw Gu Huaian looking at him and was shocked.
He didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"You don't want to?"
Gu Huaian frowned slightly.
In Nie Tianyi's current situation, he is the only one who can save him. Why is he still hesitating? Could it be that this was a trap between him and Liu Chengji? Waiting for him to step on you
"No, no, I am willing."
This is a simple thing for Nie Tianyi, not to mention that he really needs a lot of money now. He wants to help his brother pay off his debts, and he also wants to leave that ghost place.
"Since you are willing, then tell me your conditions."
Nie Tianyi hesitated for a while, then slowly said, "I want three thousand taels."
As he spoke, he felt very panicked. He was actually not sure whether Gu Huaian would agree, but he probably would. After all, what Gu Huaian lacked most was money.
"Okay." Gu Huaian agreed to him without thinking.
But his eyes changed when he heard Nie Tianyi say he wanted three thousand taels.
He had asked before that his brother's gambling debts totaled no more than five hundred taels at most. What did he want to do with so much money now
Although three thousand taels was a small amount for him, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Tomorrow, help me give this to Concubine Shen, and bring her a reply and bring the letter."
Gu Huaian handed the letter he had prepared to Nie Tianyi.
As he reached out to read the letter, Nie Tianyi felt some inexplicable tension in his heart.
Then, Gu Huaian asked someone to bring the thousand taels of silver that had been prepared.
"This is a deposit of one thousand taels. I will give you the two thousand taels after the matter is completed."
Nie Tianyi took the purse and hurriedly opened it, looking at the white thousand taels of silver inside with his eyes shining and a smile that couldn't be concealed on his lips.
He had never seen so much money before. The amount was beyond the scope of what he had seen. The few taels of silver he earned every month as an imperial physician were not enough for his younger brother to lose.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu. I will definitely not let you down."
"Then I'm looking forward to your performance."
"Xiaguan's mother is still at home, so Xiaguan left first."
"Go ahead."
After Nie Tianyi left, Chu Tiankuo walked out from behind the screen. He looked at Gu Huai'an doubtfully: "Isn't his brother's debt owed a lot of money? What does he need so much money for?"
Gu Huaian rolled his eyes at him, "Ask me how I knew."
Chu Tiankuo felt frustrated and stopped talking.
"Send someone to follow him first to see if he is really trustworthy. I just gave him an empty envelope."
In order to test whether he was trustworthy, Gu Huaian deliberately gave him the envelope first. If he went home directly without opening the envelope or giving it to others, it would be trustworthy.
"good."
"I'm waiting for you at Lingyin Pavilion."
Listening Pavilion.
"Brother, won't Chu Tiankuo come with you?"
Not seeing Chu Tiankuo coming with him, Gu Qiang was a little confused.
"He's still behind, let's talk about things first."
"kindness."
Shen Qianshan spoke first, "Wang Cheng is the person next to Qin Liangping. I'm afraid he can't be used by us, but we can ask Rong Lian to ask him to cover for us."
After saying this, Gu Qiang couldn't help but click her tongue. She didn't expect that Qin Liangping had so many people in the court.
"His hands are really long." Chu Tiankuo walked out of the door.
When they saw him coming, no one showed much expression. Instead, they looked at Gu Huai'an, waiting for his words.
"Wang Cheng has agreed, and I have given him an empty envelope to see if he is really willing to help us."
Shen Qianshan nodded with satisfaction.
"In this case, brother, if Nie Tianyi succeeds, let him go tomorrow and we will take care of him later."
Everyone agreed.
The next day.
Because the informant came to report that Nie Tianyi had not gone anywhere at night, Gu Huaian met Nie Tianyi on the road.
"Master Nie, what a coincidence. Can we have dinner together?"
Gu Huaian had a smile on his face, which looked particularly natural.
On the other hand, Nie Tianyi looked around when he saw Gu Huaian, fearing that someone would discover that he had some kind of deal with Gu Huaian.
"Gu, Mr. Gu."
Seeing his nervous look, Gu Huaian didn't care. He took Nie Tianyi to a porridge shed.
After eating and drinking, Gu Huaian stood up.
"Master Nie, I will leave first. You can eat slowly. The bill has been settled."
He patted Nie Tianyi on the shoulder, and a piece of paper fell on Nie Tianyi's clothes.
Nie Tianyi was very panicked, and there was a faint smile on Gu Huaian's lips.
He got on the carriage and left the porridge shed, leaving Nie Tianyi there, holding a piece of paper tightly in his hand.
Liu Chengji was not here today, so Nie Tianyi felt much more at ease in Tai Hospital. He picked up his medicine box and walked out.
He came outside Shen Qiangwei's palace and said to the guards outside: "Brother, guard, please inform me that I am Nie Tianyi from Taiyuan Hospital. My master Liu Chengji asked me to take Concubine Shen's pulse and check her abdominal pain."
The guards guarding outside went directly to report to Concubine Meng. Concubine Meng felt relieved when she heard that he was Liu Chengji's apprentice.
"Zhuizhu, go and take him to Shen Qiangwei's palace, and then send him away after he has finished reading."
"yes."
Chuan Zhu knew what Concubine Meng was going to do, so she wouldn't be as stupid as Hong Xing.
Liu Chengji was welcomed up and saw a palace maid following him, and he couldn't help feeling a little panicked. He pretended to be calm and walked behind with his head lowered.
"My dearest concubine, I am the apprentice of Imperial Physician Liu. I am here to review your abdominal pain today."
"come in."
At this time, Shen Qiangwei has been thinking about how to get Gu Qiang to save her, and has no interest in people coming from outside.
"Your Majesty, please extend your hand." Nie Tianyi made preparations and said to Shen Qiangwei.
Shen Qiangwei stretched out her hand obediently.
Nie Tianyi checked her pulse through the handkerchief. When he stopped his hand, he stood up suddenly and quickly put the note in his sleeve into Shen Qiangwei's hand.
As he stood, Zhuanzhu did not see his movements, and her sight was blocked by Nie Tianyi.
Because he was Liu Chengji's apprentice, he didn't pay much attention to the beads.
Shen Qiangwei felt something strange in her hand, pinched the note and retracted her hand.
"Your Majesty, could you please show me your prescription?"
"I have lost the prescription. Please write one for you."
How could Shen Qiangwei not hear his hint? The note had already been sent in, so he must be the person Gu Qiang arranged to come in.
"Dian Cui, bring me pen and paper."
"yes."
Diancui walked in with a pen and paper. Shen Qiangwei sent her away. She opened the note and read the words on it.
"Will you cooperate?"
In just three words, Shen Qiangwei knew that Gu Qiang already knew about her situation, and she was asking her if she wanted to rescue him.
Shen Qiangwei had a feeling of surviving from a desperate situation. During the days of imprisonment, Shen Qiangwei had already despaired of Shen Zhongbai.
She wrote down a few names of medicines and handed them to Nie Tianyi.
"My lord, please take it with you. Don't throw it away this time. This is my prescription. If I have any problems in the future, I can find out who harmed me."
"Your Majesty, you are joking. How can anyone return the favor to you, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine?" Nie Tianyi replied with a smile.
He glanced at the prescription casually.
"Your Majesty, you need to continue taking this medicine to get better. I will leave now."
"kindness."
Shen Qiangwei tried hard to suppress the excitement in her heart.
Zhuanzhu went out with Nie Tianyi. She couldn't understand the prescription, but she still glanced at it because she had not read Liu Chengji's prescription before, so she didn't find anything wrong with the prescription.
"Master Nie, why are you here today? Where is your master?"
"Girl, my master is on leave today, so I'm here to give you a follow-up consultation."
Zhuanzhu nodded, her seemingly unintentional question was actually a deliberate question to Nie Tianyi, so that she could explain to Concubine Meng more easily.
"Master Nie, how long have you been coming to Taipei Hospital?"
"It's been two years."
Nie Tianyi had been hiding his nervousness, especially when he was questioned intentionally or unintentionally like this. He felt that the road to the palace entrance was so long.
"Master Nie, why doesn't Master Liu often take you for consultations?"
Asked here, Nie Tianyi's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm.
"Master thinks I'm not good at studying. I need to practice more."
His words were paired with the smile on his face, and Zhuizhu felt that he might be being modest.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the palace, and Nie Tianyi bowed.
"Girl, I will take my leave first, girl, there is no need to send me far away."
After hearing his words, I saw that I had reached the entrance of the temple, so I didn't ask any more questions.
"Master Nie, walk slowly."
Watching Nie Tianyi leave, Chuan Zhu returned to Concubine Meng and informed her of today's events.
Concubine Meng didn't notice anything unusual. She felt that the beads were well made and rewarded her with a bracelet.
Hongxing, who was watching from the side, was jealous, and she was even more dissatisfied with Concubine Meng.
When Nie Tianyi walked to the Taiyuan Hospital, his heart was relieved, and he felt that his back was already wet.
"Master Nie, where were you just now? Why are you sweating so much?"
An imperial doctor who didn't know the situation looked at his appearance and couldn't help but wonder.
Nie Tianyi smiled and said perfunctorily: "I went to Concubine Shen's palace and was frightened by her for a moment."
The man smiled and left.
Nie Tianyi walked up to Gu Huaian and handed him the prescription written by Shen Qiangwei.
