The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 293 - 187-3
This Tang Tie Tou must be subdued.
The group arrived in the town, and Chun Nuan bought ink, brush, paper, and inkstone.
She first wrote a contract for the two brothers, got them to sign and seal it. In these times, twelve taels of silver could buy a strong laborer, quite worth it.
"Young master, what about my leg?"
"I’ll treat it," Chun Nuan said, "You two brothers should also get some winter clothes."
Since they’re no longer soldiers, they naturally shouldn’t wear soldier uniforms, otherwise they’d be mistaken for deserters.
"Thank you, young lady."
The brothers learned from Qingsheng that the lady in the carriage was their future mistress, and the young master’s family ran a pharmacy.
No wonder, she could immediately heal his foot.
And also heal his brother’s leg.
Isn’t this some sort of fate?
In that instant, Tang Tie Tou accepted his fate.
"Is the young master going to Han State for?"
"To buy grain," Zhao Minghua said, "You two brothers buy grain separately at different places. Buy a lot, I need to transport it back to Changzhou."
"Young master, the world is not peaceful."
Tang Tie Tou immediately recounted everything he had seen and heard on the journey: "Transporting large amounts of grain back to Changzhou over such a long distance is likely to encounter trouble."
In these times, there are many natural and man-made disasters, and many bandits occupying lands as kings.
"I have a caravan,"
Zhao Minghua said, "It’s not just the few of us."
"That’s good, that’s good."
The more formidable the new employer is, the more capable, the harder their brothers’ backer is.
The group headed towards Han State, and along the way, Chun Nuan prepared medicine for Tang Shitou, both to take and to apply, and even used fire to burn it a bit.
By the third day, the swollen leg had subsided, and the newly bought pants could be worn.
By the sixth day, he was fully healed.
"The young lady’s medical skill is this,"
Tang Shitou gave a thumbs up.
"Of course, didn’t you know that the young lady’s ancestors were Imperial Physicians, solely serving the nobles in the palace, you know?"
Qingsheng was quite proud.
"No wonder, I was saying there are very few female doctors in the world, never thought it’s inherited," Tang Tie Tou understood: "Hey, wait a minute."
What’s not right?
Qingsheng asked.
Tang Tie Tou didn’t say more.
"Are you wondering why the descendants of the Imperial Physicians from the Capital are here?"
Tang Tie Tou was embarrassed, this Qingsheng was young but smart, even knowing what he was thinking.
"You must have heard about the false pregnancy case of the Imperial Consort, Doctor Xiao, the most wronged one."
"So it’s Doctor Xiao’s descendant."
Tang Tie Tou suddenly realized, this explains everything.
"Have you heard about this matter?"
"Yes, I’ve not only heard about it, but I also know who the mastermind behind it is?" Talking about this matter, Tang Tie Tou’s interest piqued: "Coincidentally, I heard about it by chance, the mastermind was the Third Prince, intending to get rid of Doctor Xiao because only Doctor Xiao could treat the Crown Prince’s illness."
In the carriage, Chun Nuan heard everything clearly: this is an imperial secret, an open secret among the great families of the Capital, yet unexpectedly, it could be heard from a small soldier’s mouth in this remote place.
So, paper can never really cover fire in the end.
"Doctor Xiao was truly wronged when he died," Tang Tie Tou said, "The Crown Prince nearly lost his life several times after that, but for some unknown reason, he has been getting better over the past year."
Chun Nuan felt that this information that even people a thousand miles away knew was very alarming.
Is there still any secrecy in the Imperial Palace?
In the Imperial Palace, Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince was playing hide and seek with Panpan.
"Big brother, you surely don’t know where Panpan is?"
"Indeed, Panpan, where are you? Big brother can’t find you."
The Empress watched this scene and laughed silently: When did the prince become so playful?
Playing hide and seek with Panpan.
The main thing is, one dares to ask, one dares to answer.
Once the voice is out, wouldn’t they find her?
He still patiently played with the child.
Looks like his health is indeed improving day by day.
The Empress smiled with satisfaction.
"Order to serve Panpan delicious food."
"Empress," Panpan being able to call this was the result of Xiao Chunyu’s repeated corrections: "Empress is the best, knows what Panpan wishes to eat."
"Indeed, whatever Panpan likes, we will make it. How about staying in the palace from now on?"
"No, the palace is not fun except for big brother, some people even roll eyes at Panpan, not fun," Panpan said gloomily: "After accompanying big brother, I will return to the mansion, grandmother and father and mother are waiting for Panpan."
"You child..."
After all, she’s someone else’s, hard to keep at home, always yearning to go back.
Every day, she is brought into the palace for her to play for two hours, have lunch, and then sent back, no matter what, just not staying the night in the palace.
