First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chen Xinghe also pulled Zhou Ziqi's hand. Although this person was always wearing a veil, one could tell at a glance that the Pavilion Master had a calm temperament, but also a kind of coldness that made it difficult for people to approach him. However, when he used acupuncture to prescribe medicine for people, he also had a kind of gentleness of a family. He was really a contradictory person.

Chen Xinghe didn't know why the Pavilion Master always wore a veil and didn't show his true face, but there were all kinds of capable people in the world, and some of them inevitably had various secrets that they didn't want to be known.

He already had spies in the capital under his command. Just now, when he returned to Ximoxuan, he took the time to ask someone to look up the details of the Miaoshou Pavilion, and he did not find anything wrong with the Pavilion Master.

He had all the necessary documents to identify himself. He was from the suburbs of Beijing. He left home when he was young to learn from a master. A few years ago, he returned to Beijing and opened this clinic. At the beginning, the clinic became a hot topic in Beijing for a few days because of its unique decoration, but then its popularity gradually faded.

There are many old-established medical clinics in the capital. Even though this clinic is beautifully decorated, it is not worth mentioning compared to those big clinics, so it quickly faded from people's sight.

This clinic sells a lot of ready-made medicines, but the prices are a bit high. Many people in the capital think that this kind of medicine is not suitable and it is better to make it first. Later, some caravan bosses came to buy some ready-made medicines to take with them. Only then did people realize the uniqueness of this store. After all, it is inevitable to have some headaches, fevers, abdominal pains and diarrhea on the journey. If it is in the town, it is okay, but once in the wilderness, it will be a tormenting experience.

Therefore, these medicines will play a certain role in this regard.

Thanks to the promotion of these merchants, the medicine business here has gradually improved. However, compared with the several major medical clinics in the capital, it is still very small and cannot be compared with them.

Furthermore, the owner of the Miaoshou Pavilion wasn't always in the clinic, often traveling with his apprentices to practice medicine. They'd be gone for half a year, then come back for another half. Naturally, the business wasn't as bustling as other clinics. When he wasn't at the clinic, it was just a pharmacy, selling medicine, and had no advantages over other established establishments.

This Miaoshou Pavilion became famous two years ago when the young master of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery fell off his horse!

Everyone said that there was no hope, and even the imperial physicians in the palace were helpless, but it was this Pavilion Master who pulled the patient back from the brink of death.

If not for this, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery would not have thought of Miaoshou Pavilion first, and Chen Xinghe himself would not have been so confident in leaving Qin Wanfang and Teng'er to Miaoshou Pavilion for treatment.

In fact, he had already prepared himself mentally for Qin Wanfang's death when he heard Kong Chun's message and on the way here. After all, Qin Wanfang was beaten so badly by the eldest princess, and anyone who saw it would know that her chances of survival were not very high. He was not a brainless person.

So when he heard the people inside say that Qin Wanfang's life would be temporarily saved, he felt as if all the strength in his body was instantly drained away.

At this moment, when Chen Xinghe held the hand of the Master of Miaoshou Pavilion, he felt that the Master's hand was ice-cold!

He looked at the Master of the Miaoshou Pavilion in a daze. The man was wearing a veil, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could see that his exposed forehead was covered with cold sweat and his skin was pale and tight.

"Master, what are you doing..." Chen Xinghe couldn't help but ask.

Su Jixiang hurriedly supported Zhou Ziqi. Since Zhou Ziqi's acting was so real, she couldn't fall behind. Suddenly, a look of disgust and anxiety rose in her eyes, and her voice became louder. "I've already told you that our Pavilion Master will expend his energy to save this girl. You didn't believe it! Now, our Pavilion Master doesn't know how long it will take to recover!" After saying that, she looked at Zhou Ziqi again and scolded him, "Pavilion Master, you know this method of saving people will hurt your mind, and you still use it. You really despise your own life!"

Zhou Ziqi...I have to say, his wife's acting skills are better than his!

He just inserted a few needles into some of his acupuncture points to make himself look weak. It was not a real act. He couldn't act. He only knew how to give acupuncture!

But the lady's words and expression just now really complement the weakness he is showing now!

He looked at Chen Xinghe with a hint of apology, "My little disciple's words and deeds were rude and he offended the prince unintentionally! I apologize to the prince on his behalf. Please don't punish him for the sake of his youth, ignorance and lack of experience!" After that, he pretended to kneel down and beg for mercy for Su Jixiang.

"No, no!" Chen Xinghe then remembered that someone had said this before. He quickly stopped Zhou Ziqi's actions and said, "Your disciple is also concerned about you! I will not bother with a child."

Su Jixiang was wearing the clothes of a medicine boy, and her facial makeup made her look like a teenager, which matched her stature, so Chen Xinghe only thought she was a teenager.

"Your Highness, I have removed some of the dead flesh from this lady." Zhou Ziqi thought for a moment and said, "Those parts have been beaten to the point of being lifeless. Leaving them on her body would only cause harm. I took the initiative to save her. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Chen Xinghe was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Since I've left her here, it means I trust you, Pavilion Master. You just need to save her." He looked at Qin Wanfang's pale face, then raised his hand to feel her pulse at the side of her neck. He could feel a faint beat, and his heart was relieved. "When will she wake up?"

"The day after tomorrow at the latest. Tomorrow afternoon at the earliest," Zhou Ziqi said. "But Madam has multiple fractures and internal organ damage, so she can't be moved for the next few days. If she wakes up, I'm afraid she'll have to recuperate in my clinic for at least two weeks before she can be brought back home."

"As long as she can get better, please take good care of her, Pavilion Master." Chen Xinghe's heart was in turmoil after hearing Zhou Ziqi's words.

It was only a short half day, but Chen Xinghe felt as if he had gone through four seasons.

"Then I will go down first. If Your Majesty is staying here, please do not move my wife first." Zhou Ziqi said weakly.

"Of course, of course. Please do as you please, Pavilion Master." Chen Xinghe stood up and watched Su Jixiang help Zhou Ziqi out.

When the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery saw Zhou Ziqi leave, she also walked in and said, "The young lady is a woman, why don't you let me take care of her here?"

She had heard everything Zhou Ziqi had said just now. When she heard that Zhou Ziqi was sure that Qin Wanfang would wake up, she finally felt relieved.

Everything is fine!

Her efforts were not in vain!
