After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

"I'll send someone to deliver it to you as soon as possible." Qing Yan promised.

"By the way, is the reward token still useful?"

Fang Nanzhi rummaged through his sleeves.

"Not bad, it's made of pure gold. My dad said he would keep it for me, but I refused. Hehe, it's gold."

Qing Yan couldn't help laughing when he saw her money-obsessed look.

"This badge is not just pure gold, it has the words 'Medical Stone' on it. You can come to the Imperial Hospital anytime in the future."

Fang Nanzhi said "oh" and was not particularly surprised. After all, she could now enter the Imperial Hospital.

"Not only the Imperial Hospital Library, but also the Pharmacy and the Pulse Records Room..."

Fang Nanzhi's eyes widened this time. Doesn't that mean that the Imperial Hospital has completely opened up to her?

"The Imperial College also has many medical books. You can go there as well. There are also provincial schools in various places."

Fang Nanzhi straightened his back and pointed at himself.

"I'm a woman, can I go too?"

"can."

Qing Yan nodded with a smile.

"His Majesty has many private books in the palace. If you are interested in any, you can borrow them."

Fang Nanzhi clutched his chest and asked, "I'll lend it to you, Your Majesty?"

"Well, I have the token. Your Majesty will."

Fang Nanzhi felt that his face suddenly became very big, as big as a pie.

She can even borrow and return books from the emperor and become his book friend?

"I heard that the East Palace also has a library." Fang Nanzhi hinted.

Qingyan found it amusing to see her blinking her big eyes hard.

"Come anytime, what's mine is yours!"

Fang Nanzhi jumped up happily and patted his shoulder hard.

"That's nice! You're worthy of being one of my best friends."

Qing Yan's heart trembled slightly. Is this the best?

"Oh? How many best friends do you have?"

"There are two in total. The other one is Sister Wanru."

Fang Nanzhi stretched out two fingers.

She hadn't seen Zheng Wanru for several years, but they kept in touch through correspondence. In addition, the bond they had shared while studying and learning to read was something that not many people could compare to.

Qing Yan pursed his lips slightly.

Yes, the little girl is lively and cheerful, loved by everyone, and has no shortage of friends.

Unlike him, he only has the little girl as a friend.

Qing Yan frowned slightly. He wondered if he was sick again. Why did he feel so sad and numb in his heart?

He suppressed emotions he had never felt before and remained calm.

"The Chen family is coming to Beijing. Zhizhi, are you ready?"

Qing Yan knew that Zhizhi had just learned about her past life when the poison he was suffering from broke out some time ago. Under the double blow, she was suffering a lot.

They also corresponded at that time, but Zhizhi probably feared that it would affect his health, so she never mentioned it in the letters.

But he recovered, and naturally someone told him what happened outside.

"What are you preparing for?" Fang Nanzhi wondered.

"The Chen family is no longer the Chen family of the past."

"When Prime Minister Chen was executed, some members of the clan who trusted him to the death came to our father and made a scene. They collectively committed suicide to prove their innocence."

Collective suicide?

Fang Nanzhi's heart sank, and her face became much colder.

"This matter was deliberately kept secret by my father, so not many people know about it."

Qing Yan explained.

"Later, the Chen family was exiled, and many of the clan's prestigious elders died during the exile."

"The remaining people failed to control their hearts, and the Chen family gradually became a mess."

"Some members of the Chen family have accepted their fate and are living day by day in this bitter cold land. Others resent Prime Minister Chen, believing him to be arrogant and bringing trouble upon the entire family."

"Because of this, they will bully those in the clan who were originally close to Chen Xiang's lineage."

In other words, the people exiled by the Chen family had different thoughts, and those who really still cared about Prime Minister Chen were not having an easy time.

"Chen Yong is one of the Chen clan members who harbors resentment towards Prime Minister Chen."

Fang Nanzhi suddenly looked up.

Chen Yong was the one who wrote a blood letter saying that the Chen family and Prime Minister Chen were wronged.

But he...

"Zhizhi, not all people in the Chen family are your relatives."

Qing Yan’s reminder was very straightforward.

"I see."

Fang Nanzhi's fingers tightened around the teacup until they turned a little white.

The two were silent for a while.

Outside the cabin, the rain was still falling.

The game of chess between Mr. Zhou and Mr. Deng had not yet ended. The two played in silence, as if they had not heard anything said by their apprentice and the prince.

Suddenly, the wind blew, the boat rocked slightly, and then calmed down.

Fang Nanzhi suddenly said: "Aren't you worried?"

"worry about what?"

Qingyan looked back at her.

Fang Nanzhi looked at him and smiled.

"nothing."

Some things don't seem to need to be said out loud.

Trust lies in each other's hearts.

Coincidentally, the drizzle stopped suddenly.

Old Zhou stroked his beard and settled on the last piece.

"It seems that I have won this round."

"I didn't expect that you, Mr. Zhou, are not only an excellent doctor, but also a good chess player. I, Deng, was too confident."

Mr. Deng is very polite.

"Haha, I don't have any chess skills. Thanks to Mr. Deng for showing mercy."

Mr. Zhou winked at him.

He was not being polite, he was speaking the truth.

Suddenly, the two gentlemen burst into laughter.

Fang Nanzhi turned his head in confusion and thought the two gentlemen were acting strangely. Could playing chess be so fun?

This morning, the prince invited Fang Nanzhi to go boating on the lake. When Mr. Zhou heard about it, he insisted on coming along and even sent someone to pass on a message to Mr. Deng.

Then Mr. Deng came too.

However, the two gentlemen were not very interested in boating on the lake, and it seemed that they came there just to play chess.

Qingyan also looked at the two gentlemen, knowing that they were here to look after Zhizhi.

"I have a set of white jade chess pieces. Both Mr. Zhou and Mr. Deng enjoy playing chess, so why not give them to you two?"

Without waiting for Mr. Zhou to return, Mr. Deng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Transparent and flawless white jade?"

"Yes, it is gentle to the touch, and chess can nourish a person, which is just right for you, sir." Qing Yan was very humble in front of them.

"I am not worthy of being the prince's teacher," said Mr. Deng, but he did not refuse the white jade chess piece.

"I and Zhizhi are close friends, and since she is my elder, she is also mine."

Qingyan is very peaceful.

Mr. Deng didn't show it on his face, but he was quite surprised inside.

He had seen the prince before, and his impression at that time was that he was aloof, arrogant, cold, and seemed like he was not a living person.

Now it's completely different.

Old Zhou was not surprised. He stroked his beard and said, "White jade chess is good, but I am old now. I would rather lie on the white jade pillow."

"If you need it, I'll send someone to deliver it to Zhou's residence."

Qingyan's tone became more intimate.

In the corner, Qing Min's silence is golden.

It’s not enough for Miss Fang to “rob” the prince alone, so she brought two gentlemen with her?
