Qingguan thought for a while and said, "Where does he live?"
"Old Prince Qi's Mansion."
Qingguan's eyebrows remained motionless as she raised her head to meet those deep eyes. Their eyes met, and the two of them clearly saw themselves in each other's eyes.
Qingguan suddenly came back to her senses and realized that she was half-leaning in the man's arms. The man's handsome face was less than two inches away from hers, his forehead was almost touching your head, and his hand was still holding hers.
The two eyes of this guy were as bright as stars.
Damn it!
Qingwan moved back without leaving a trace, and two red clouds appeared on her face that was turned away.
Zhao Jingyan looked at Qing Guan's dark-eyed face with a smile, and said innocently, "Oh, it's all my fault for being obsessed with things."
As soon as these words came out, Qingwan's heart seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't breathe. Taking a deep breath, the still heartbeat suddenly started pounding, as if it was about to jump out of the chest.
Zhao Jingyan felt that her breathing was a little messy, and she was in a good mood, so she said shamelessly: "Wan Wan, are you fascinated by my handsomeness?"
Gu Qingguan's eyes went dark, like lightning struck!
What she was sure of was that this guy was teasing her day and night.
Can such an important moment be more serious?
Suddenly, the car body suddenly shuddered.
"The Emperor urgently summons Dr. Gu to the palace."
"What's the matter?"
"Zhang Hua has been poisoned and his life is in danger!"
Gu Qingguan quickly met the eyes in front of her. The latter reached out and patted her shoulder lightly. She moved her thin lips and said, "Zhonggong, it's moving!"
Gu Qingguan smiled lightly, "Very good!"
The winter of the 39th year of Baoqing was destined to be an eventful one.
The Gu Mansion was raided just now, and the Zhang Mansion on the back was also raided.
However, on the day when Zhang's residence was raided, Zhang Hua, who had just been imprisoned, took the water handed to him by the jailer and took just a small sip before he realized something was wrong and gushed out all the water, then shouted for help.
Even so, when the guards arrived, Zhang Hua was already bleeding from the corner of his mouth and fainted on the ground. If not for the timely rescue by the female doctor Gu, he might have entered the Palace of Hell.
In a short period of time, incidents occurred one after another in the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The emperor became obsessed with Taoism and his state affairs were ruined. He also noticed an unusual smell. On the same day, he summoned Zhang Yunlong to see him alone in the Imperial Study Room.
After half a cup of tea, Zhang Yunlong came out with a solemn expression. Qingguan, who had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, was led into the imperial study by Eunuch Li.
Kneel down, salute, stand up, Qingguan lowered his head and replied.
"Your Majesty, the poison Zhang Hua took is commonly known as heartbroken grass."
"Heartworm?" The man on the throne looked slightly cold.
"Exactly. This poison is so cruel that Zhang Hua only took half a sip to save his life." Qingguan thought for a while and added, "My mother died from this poison."
The emperor's eyes flashed with light, his eyes fixed on her, and he remained silent for a long time.
Qingwan just stood quietly, staring at the small area under his feet, listening to his own heartbeat.
Time passed silently, and Eunuch Li was pounding in his heart. Doctor Gu’s last words seemed inappropriate.
"Why did your mother... commit suicide?"
Qing Wan bit her thin lips lightly and said respectfully, "Qing Wan doesn't know."
A word of ignorance concealed everything, and the light in Emperor Baoqing's eyes dimmed slightly.
This woman had been working for him for several months and never said a word. She was as silent as a transparent person. She was completely different from the fierce woman who insisted on leaving the Gu Mansion.
At such a young age, such calmness is rare.
"The Gu family has been defeated. What are your thoughts?"
"Things that prosper will decline, which is the way of heaven. When water is full, it will overflow. This is the number of things that are empty and full!" Qing Guan looked calm.
Emperor Baoqing's heart moved, his eyes were like swords, "You don't want to plead for the Gu family?"
"I don't want to!" Qingguan shook his head, "The emperor is a wise king, and he can make his own decisions about right and wrong."
The flattery was very useful to Emperor Baoqing. This girl hated her mother's death in her heart, but she didn't care about the family's rights and wrongs, so she was kind and righteous.
"It's hard for you, cough cough cough..."
When Eunuch Li saw the emperor coughing, he handed over the ginseng tea and winked at Qingguan.
"Qing Guan kneels down and asks the emperor to diagnose his pulse."
Emperor Baoqing's face turned red and he nodded slowly.
Qingguan knelt at the emperor's feet as usual, placed three fingers on his pulse, pondered for a moment, and said, "The emperor may have caught a cold last night."
Eunuch Li hurriedly said: "The female doctor is very skilled. The ground dragon fever was strong yesterday. The emperor was thirsty at night. He drank two cups of tea and coughed twice a long time ago."
"It seems that he has contracted wind and cold. The symptoms are just beginning. He needs to take medicine for three days. Everything will be fine."
Qingguan stood up and said, "I will go outside to prepare a prescription for the emperor."
"No need to go to the outer room, just write here."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Qingguan took over the robe and lifted it up. Shi Shiran sat down, and the hand holding the pen fell down. After writing, she took out the ink pad from her sleeve, dipped it in with her fingers, and pressed her fingerprints heavily.
This move surprised Eunuch Li on the side, and he couldn't help but asked casually: "I have never seen a female doctor lay fingerprints before, why are you so cautious today?"
"this… "
Qingguan raised his head, his face was a little embarrassed, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, and he concealed it: "It's a long story, but it's more important for my father-in-law to help the emperor boil the medicine first."
Emperor Baoqing happened to raise his head at this moment, and caught the panic in Gu Qingguan's eyes with one glance, and said with some surprise: "Let me hear it."
Gu Qingguan's face turned red. After hesitating for a long time, he suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty forgives Qingwan for his innocence. Only Qingwan dares to speak out."
A small handprint made the usually quiet Dr. Gu act like this, and Emperor Baoqing's interest was aroused.
"I forgive you for your innocence, please tell me!"
Qingguan just took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. A few days ago, Qingguan got a famous painting, "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains" by Wang Ximeng. When he showed it to Master Qi, he said it was fake. "
Qingguan's face turned slightly red when he said this, "I refused to accept it. I argued with him for a long time and lost."
Emperor Baoqing heard this interestingly and said with a smile: "Although that boy is not good at writing or martial arts, after all, he has been immersed in that mansion for many years, and his eyes are still poisonous."
"It's also my fault that the person who imitated the painting looked very similar. If he wasn't a knowledgeable person, he would have been deceived."
Emperor Baoqing was confused after hearing this, and couldn't help but interject: "What does this matter have to do with your laying hands on it?"
Qingwan's face turned even redder, as if he could bleed. "Master Qi suddenly had a wonderful idea. He said that there are countless masters in the world, some of whom imitate portraits, and some who imitate calligraphy. If someone with ulterior motives imitates my handwriting and prescribes medicine to the emperor, how can I I couldn't tell if I didn't jump into the Yellow River. He... He... also said... He didn't want to save his delicate wife.
. "
Emperor Baoqing's expression suddenly changed.
Qing Guan seemed to be unaware of anything, he was thinking about himself and lowered his head and said: "As the saying goes, beware of villains but not gentlemen. Master Qi and I discussed for a long time and decided to use this trick. Calligraphy and painting can be imitated, but the handprints are unique, that is, there are people Even if you want to imitate it, you can’t.”
"Female Doctor Gu!" For some reason, Emperor Bao Qing's voice was full of exhaustion.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?" Qingguan raised his head.
"Who copied that "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painting?"
Qingguan said hurriedly: "Back to the emperor, Master Qi said that it was imitated by the concubine of Zhenguo Palace. I don't know calligraphy and painting, so I only listen to him."
As soon as he said these words, the hall fell into silence, and time passed by silently. Qingguan's heart was like a drum beating, like a bell ringing, and he was covered in sweat.
"You go down now."
After a long time, Emperor Baoqing's voice sounded as low as a dusk drum, and Qingguan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After kowtowing and bowing, he bowed and exited. The moment he turned around, an imperceptible smile appeared on his lips, and Qingwan's steps were relaxed.
Emperor Baoqing looked at her back, and after a moment, he said calmly: "Do you still remember the Cao family?"
Eunuch Li's heart skipped a beat and he said hurriedly: "Back to the emperor, I remember this very clearly."
Emperor Baoqing's eyes were stern, "You secretly go to see the Crown Princess for me."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Li was shocked.
"Wait a minute, call Lao Ba and Jiang Qi."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Qingguan walked out of the palace and happened to see Zhao Jingyan and Jiang Hongwen walking over, whispering to each other.
Their eyes met, Qingguan stepped forward to salute with a normal expression.
Zhao Jingyan smiled lightly and said pretentiously: "Female doctor is working hard!"
"You worked hard too!"
Qingguan's eyes fell on Jiang Hongwen's face beside him, and he nodded slightly and left.
Zhao Jingyan smiled knowingly, put her arms around Jiang Hongwen's shoulders, and said with a distant and profound look: "Tell me, how old is she?"
Jiang Hongwen rolled his eyes feebly, "If you still want to ask this, think about how to deal with the people inside first."
Along the way, the number of imperial guards in the capital increased significantly, with one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps. The storm was about to come, and he still had a joke in mind.
Zhao Jingyan didn't take it seriously and continued: "I'll tell you some news."
"Come on!" Jiang Hongwen looked unhappy when he thought of meeting the emperor.
"The grandson of Dr. Cao, the grandson is in Beijing."
"What, they're not..." Jiang Hongwen was slightly shocked.
"And they opened a medical clinic called Tongrentang."
"Tongrentang belongs to the Cao family?" Jiang Hongwen was shocked again.
"No, who do you think is the boss behind Tongrentang?" Zhao Jingyan narrowed her long and narrow eyes.
"who is it?"
"Gu Qingwan."
"What?" Jiang Hongwen opened his mouth in shock.
Zhao Jingyan looked surprised when she saw him, as if he had eaten ice-cold watermelon on a dog day and felt so refreshed. This expression was exactly the same as when he heard A Li's reply.
If he hadn't paid more attention to the Cao family's affairs, he would have been deceived by this woman again.
The cunning rabbit has three caves.
It was not enough for this woman to open Qingfengtang and Wanhualou. She actually opened Tongrentang secretly without telling him. It was really amazing.
"She... wants money... crazy."
"Hmph, you are so superficial, you really are not worthy of her." Zhao Jingyan sneered.
Jiang Hongwen said angrily: "Then why do you think it is?"
Zhao Jingyan stopped smiling and said, "Do you know who come to Tongrentang to see the doctor?"
Jiang Hongwen shook his head truthfully.
"Do you know how she got that "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" painting?"
Jiang Hongwen shook his head again. Zhao Jingyan sighed softly, with a little soft light in her eyes, "Let's go, this matter is over, let us two brothers talk about it carefully. In a word, my princess is a mystery."
