I am a miracle doctor in Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 47: Jia Yuanchun Makes a Secret Decision

In the early morning of the 19th day of the first lunar month, in the capital of Dayao - Jingning City, in the mansion of Duke Rong.

Seeing the east was already bright, An Wuxia prepared to say goodbye to Qi Zhen and return to the Rongguo Mansion. The Third Prince frowned slightly and said gently: "Your identity in the Rongguo Mansion is the personal maid of Miss Lin. Now that Miss Lin is not in the Rongguo Mansion, you are here. How can you justify yourself when you go back?!"

An Wuxia smiled calmly and said, "Didn't you force me to appear in front of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes a few days ago, effectively calming them down and preventing an unnecessary battle?!"

Qi Zhen still said quietly: "That was a temporary emergency secret special meeting. Bringing you along was also to appease the hearts of the old ministers. With you, they will believe that there is hope for the emperor's acute stroke to recover."

Unexpectedly, An Wuxia said tactfully, "But if we do that, it means we are telling your people that we are still alive. Then the two masters Jia She and Jia Zheng of the Jia Mansion will naturally know my identity."

Qi Zhen smiled and said, "I have my reasons for not letting you go back rashly. Don't forget that this time the Shadowless Army and the Meteor Army had a fierce battle. At this moment, the capital is full of the minions of the imperial concubine and her son. Even if we are not afraid, we still have to avoid unnecessary fighting."

An Wuxia pondered for a moment and said calmly, "Yes! This time, the imperial concubine and her son will naturally not give up when they know that you are still alive. Besides, there are many female relatives in the Rong Mansion. I think that except for the two masters who are officials in the court, others will not recognize my true identity."

Qi Zhen turned around, pinched her nose and said, "So you should stay here obediently. When the daughter of the Lin family returns to the capital, it won't be too late for you to go back and serve her."

In Rongguo Mansion, Li Wan and Wang Xifeng worked together to search the house. As expected, after two days of hiding, An Wuyou was finally caught.

At this time, she was still wearing the clothes of Nanny Sun, and was escorted to Li Wan with her hands tied behind her back. Li Wan knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately reported it to Lady Wang and Grandmother Jia. For a moment, the whole family gathered in Rongxi Hall again. An Wuyou was dressed as an old nanny, lowered her head and said nothing, thinking about how to escape.

Li Wan looked at her and said, "You are so young, how could you be so cruel to an old maid? Who told you to do this?!"

An Wuyou then raised his head and said tremblingly: "To answer Madam, this is really a misunderstanding. I was just in a hurry to do something for my father and didn't want to be chased by someone for no reason, so I slipped into our house in a hurry."

Wang Xifeng laughed when she heard this. She pointed at An Wuyou and said coldly, "You are right. Can you just sneak into the gate of our imperially built Rongguo Mansion? I think you must have escaped in at night by climbing over the eaves and walls. Tell me, who sent you to be a spy?!"

An Wuyou was indeed a little frightened after being scolded like this, but she still said calmly: "I was really helping someone else. As soon as I came out, I was targeted by a group of people. I was so scared that everything went black before my eyes and I couldn't see anything..."

At this time, Grandmother Jia stared at An Wuyou for a long time and said to Madam Wang, "This child is born with good looks. Why does she look so familiar?! Does she look very similar to the girl Zhaoxia that Lin brought with her?!"

After the old lady said this, everyone took a closer look and found that she really looked very similar to the girl Zhaoxia, with similar temperament and expression in her eyes and eyebrows.

At this time, Yuanyang, the big maid beside Lady Jia, was the first to shout out: "Hey! Isn't this the second daughter of the second master of the An family?! That year, she came to our house with the eldest daughter of their eldest master's family to treat the girls."

When Wang Xifeng heard this, she hurriedly said, "Raise your head so I can take a closer look!"

At this time, everyone present had already understood about 80% that the girl in front of them was An Wuyou, the daughter of the second master of the An family.

An Wuyou knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Old lady, all the masters and ladies, I am really the daughter of the Imperial Medical House. My father was treating the masters in the palace late at night and urgently needed a precious herbal medicine passed down from my ancestors, so he ordered me to go out of the palace to get it. I didn't expect that I would be targeted by a group of people of unknown origin as soon as I left the palace. I came to our place in a daze, and I didn't know how I became a nanny after waking up."

Li Wan's eyes were full of distrust as she said, "Since your father urgently needs precious medicinal herbs, there are servants from the Imperial Hospital who can fetch them in time. Why would they let a girl like you go out of the palace in the middle of the night to fetch them?!"

At this time, Madam Wang suddenly thought of something, so she said, "I remember that the second young lady of the An family always liked to work with the eldest young lady to treat the ladies and maids of our capital. She is also an excellent gynecologist. It's just that she was selected into the palace with Yuanchun a few years ago. But this second young lady is not?!"

An Wuyou cried and said, "Madam, you have a good memory. It is me. My eldest sister and her family were convicted and executed. They are no longer alive. I am An Wuyou, the second daughter of the An family. Everything I said just now is true. I did not lie to you. I hope you can understand and let me go back to get the medicine quickly. It is important for my father to save lives!"

This speech made people feel very scared. It was obvious that he was using his father's position as the judge of the Ancheng Imperial Hospital to intimidate everyone. In addition, everyone knew that the emperor had an acute stroke, so this precious medicine was most likely used by the emperor.

At once, Jia She and Jia Zheng stood up. Jia She bowed to Grandmother Jia and said, "Mother, this matter is of great importance. I will make a decision after my son and my second brother have thoroughly questioned us. No one can spread a word about what happened today. Otherwise, I would rather kill them."

After hearing what Jia She said, everyone was frightened and their faces turned pale. They probably knew the seriousness of the matter, so they dared not say a word. Here, Jia She and Jia Zheng ordered people to escort An Wuyou to the study.

Finally, Jia She used money to get the upper hand. He first asked Baoqin, a personal maid brought into the palace by Yuanchun, to secretly send a message to Jia Yuanchun. Jia Yuanchun was naturally shocked when she found out, but she calmed down immediately and thought of a countermeasure carefully. So she secretly found Concubine Shu Degui and quietly said that there was something important at home and she needed to leave the palace.

During the sensitive period when the imperial concubine and her son blocked the capital and the palace, Jia Yuanchun took a great risk to leave the palace. When Concubine Shu Degui saw Yuanchun begging desperately, and thought that she was the most calm and wise among the female officials, she decided to leave the palace because she had something extremely important to deal with. So she quietly gave the token to leave the palace to Yuanchun, who disguised herself with her harp and went through the side door of the palace in a carriage to Rongguo Mansion.

The carriage was moving, which would undoubtedly alarm the Shadowless Army and the Imperial Guards, who would come to question them. Baoqin showed her token to leave the palace and said that she was carrying out an urgent errand for the Imperial Concubine. When they heard this, no one dared to stop her.

As the carriage was bumpy along the way, Jia Yuanchun secretly thought, "This An Wuyou, it's clear that Concubine Mu used her to get rid of Empress Chen. If the Concubine wanted to use them, she would naturally give An family benefits secretly. If the Concubine wanted to get rid of her, she would definitely die! But no matter what, Empress Chen died in the fire, His Majesty is critically ill, and the Concubine has no time to take care of her. Why did she escape from the palace?!"

Jia Yuanchun kept thinking, and suddenly she felt that things were not that simple. She began to get nervous: "Did she sneak out of the palace?! Did she fail to complete the task assigned by the imperial concubine?! Did she fail to take the blame for the imperial concubine?! Or... the plan failed...? Is she afraid that the imperial concubine will blame her?!" With a lot of doubts in her heart, Jia Yuanchun secretly returned to Rongguo Mansion.

As soon as she got home, Yuanchun went directly to Jia Zheng's study and quietly met her father. The father and daughter whispered in each other's ears for a long time, and Yuanchun was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a while. After learning everything her father told her, Yuanchun sat and pondered: "Since the former prince is still alive! The eldest daughter of the An family is also alive! Then the third prince is virtuous and wise, and he will not watch the queen being killed, nor will he watch the war in the capital! It seems that who will be the future master of Dayao between the imperial concubine and her son and the queen and her son, and who will win the battle remains to be seen... Then if I secretly deal with Wuyou this time, I will definitely offend An Cheng and the imperial concubine. If I protect her this time, then she must be someone who knows many secrets of the imperial concubine and her son, which will be of many benefits to the third prince's party."

Thinking of this, Jia Yuanchun took a breath, closed her eyes heavily, and then slowly opened them. She was determined to do something extremely important at this moment, and her mind was constantly churning over these interests: "The imperial concubine and her son are vicious and cruel, and they have killed loyal people! On the contrary, the queen and her son are wise and intelligent. Except that Your Majesty doesn't like them, they are the welfare of the people of Dayao! In this case, I will protect Wuyou this time, hoping that one day the secrets she knows can help those victims. But is the probability high?! The probability of the queen and her son returning to the court is simply a pipe dream!..." At this time, Jia Yuanchun was also struggling and tangled in her heart.

Finally, she came to her uncle Jia She's study, comforted An Wuyou in person, and secretly took her back to Fengzao Palace. So far, Jia Yuanchun also kept An Wuyou in mind while pretending to be close to her.

Jia Yuanchun secretly made a decision for the Jia family this time: Heaven's law is clear, the imperial concubine and her son may not last long! Since the third prince is still alive! Good birds choose trees to inhabit, and good ministers choose masters to serve! This granddaughter of Duke Rong quietly took on the direction of future development for her family! In her heart, whether this choice is a blessing or a curse is also a game at this moment! It is also a game for the future of the Great Yao Dynasty!
