Chapter 771: Green Plum Drunk (9)
They lived in the same yard. When Cheng Hui came back from doing odd jobs, the sun was setting.
Chopping wood and fetching water made his brocade clothes dirty.
While it is still daylight, go to the back mountain to wash yourself, and then return to the yard after smelling the fragrance.
However, when Cheng Hui returned to the room, he did not see Jiang Que. The maid serving him said that the ghost doctor had taken his pulse and he had just taken medicine and gone to bed.
Cheng Hui didn't disturb them. He put some candies given by his senior brothers on the table, looked back every few steps, and reluctantly went back to his room to rest.
After making sure Cheng Hui was asleep, the curtain covering the bed in the room moved, and the head maid immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Highness."
Jiang Que woke up from the bed and glanced at the little maid who was sleeping soundly on the soft couch opposite her, lying on her back with her legs spread out, oblivious to the world, without saying a word.
His gaze turned to the kneeling maid: "What's the news?!"
"Your Highness, the Queen has discovered your whereabouts and has hired a hundred of the most prominent figures in the martial arts world to go to the Alliance Leader's Mansion and strangle you. They learned that you were in Medical Saint Mountain, and they are heading this way."
If they were still in the Alliance Leader's Mansion, even with the help of people from the Alliance Leader's Mansion, so many martial arts masters might not be able to withstand it.
Although the Medical Saint Mountain does not practice martial arts, the poisonous miasma entering the mountain is enough to make these people suffer.
The disciples of the Medical Saint Mountain are both experts in medicine and poisons. As long as the people who come here are mortal, they probably won’t even be able to climb the mountain.
In the martial arts world, although Medical Saint Mountain has no say, no one dares to provoke him, because the disciples taught by the Ghost Doctor are all very uncultured. He can save you, but if you provoke him, he can also kill you with poison.
Unlike other doctors, he prioritizes saving people and can also help the evildoers first.
They don't have such noble character anyway.
Hearing that this group of people were heading to Medical Saint Mountain, Jiang Que fell asleep with peace of mind.
The next morning, the disciples of Medical Saint Mountain gathered together to discuss the poisoning of many people in the mountain last night. Every time a body was turned over, the name was well-known in the martial arts world.
They were poisoned in the woods and heard ghosts howling and wolves howling all night, so they couldn't sleep well.
Of the hundred people who originally came to kill Jiang Que, half of them died because they knew that he had escaped to the Medical Saint Mountain, and the other half did not believe that the Medical Saint Mountain was really so evil.
The leader's mansion escaped the fate of being wiped out in the previous life. Cheng Hui relied on his small size to squeeze to the front row to look at the corpses. He couldn't help but feel the joy of having half of his revenge avenged.
Cheng Hui was in a good mood. When he returned to the yard, he brought some pastries for Jiang Que.
Jiang Que just glanced at the pastry and didn't eat it. Seeing this, the head maid put it away like she did last time.
The aroma of the pastries lingered in the room, making the little maidservant so greedy that she kept drooling. Her eyes were fixed on the pastries in the hands of the head maidservant, but she didn't dare to move until Jiang Que gave the order.
The prince is too stingy.
She wouldn't eat it herself and would rather let it rot than give her two pieces. Ever since she became his maid, she has never eaten these snacks again.
Her father was the same, making her live such a hard life of serving others for no apparent reason.
She is obviously Liu Zhao.
God knows how helpless she felt when she heard her cousin calling others "Sister Zhao'er" every day.
The pastries that Cheng Hui sent were sealed in a cabinet along with other things he sent.
He said His Highness liked it, but he didn't mention it; he said he didn't like it, but he didn't throw it away.
The master's thoughts are hard to guess.
I stayed in Medical Saint Mountain for some time.
Cheng Hui was busy in the mountains, going out early and returning late. Every day he took care of the medicine garden, chopped wood and fetched water. From time to time, he followed his senior brothers into the mountains to collect herbs, and they would be gone for several days.
Occasionally, when I came back, I couldn't see my beloved sister Zhao'er. She said she had taken medicine and gone to bed.
In fact, Jiang Que had already left Medical Saint Mountain and was on his way back to Beijing.
The prince returned to the court.
The one who could not restrain himself more than the court officials was the Queen.
The reason why the queen was so anxious to wipe out the roots was not just because she was pregnant and wanted her child to succeed to the throne.
It was also because the original body overheard the truth about her poisoning the imperial concubine.
Although her family controlled the court, the other real power was still in the hands of the emperor, so it was not time for them to turn against him.
They were a young couple who had experienced many hardships. The imperial concubine died when the emperor felt guilty about her and loved her the most.
Over the years, this kind of feeling has gradually become an untouchable taboo, and few people in the palace mention it.
If the prince reveals the matter, the emperor will inevitably take some action that will affect the overall situation.
