Medical Princess

Chapter 1184 Shao Yanru’s Whereabouts

Thank you readers!

“Prime Minister Wen’s niece killed his biological daughter, and his family carefully raised this cousin Miss and found the trace of their deceased daughter in her!” Chu Liuchen slightly smiled, looking a little enchanting and even a little evil under the light. “It’s really interesting that Prime Minister Wen, who has kept his position as Prime Minister, would make a mistake!”

The secret guard did not dare to answer. He lowered his head and remained silent.

The guard chief, Chang’an, grew up with Chu Liuchen, so he didn’t have so many scruples and said, “If Prime Minister Wen knows that his family has raised such a venomous snake, and she wants to marry into the family, will he faint from anger?”

After saying this, he laughed heartlessly. “If his daughter finds out about this in the netherworld, she will definitely crawl out from hell and haunt her father. Your Highness, do you want to reveal this matter?”

“There’s no need to do that. Send this news to Xiao Xuanzi tomorrow and ask him to tell the Princess. She can deal with the affairs of Marquis Xing’s Mansion by herself!” Chu Liuchen said lazily. He was wearing a gorgeous purple robe embroidered with gold patterns, looking a little different from the plain clothes.

Even though Ancheng grew up with Chu Liuchen and was his personal guard since he was a child, and he was used to seeing such a handsome man like Chu Liuchen, he couldn’t help but avoid him at this time. However, he grew more cautious. In the future, he could only show utter respect for the Princess, and he couldn’t respect her too much. “Xiao Xuanzi was right. It could be seen how much His Highness adores her from his amorous smile.”

Except for the Princess, the Prince would be gentle to no one.

It was unbelievable that Prince Chen, who had always been cold and ruthless to others and didn’t care about himself, would care about a woman and even try his best to marry her.

Ancheng changed the topic and asked, “I’ll do it tomorrow. Ruiping Great Elder Princess seems to have found the servant who drugged the dog. How should we deal with him?”

He had come to ask about this matter just now, but he happened to meet a secret guard who came to report what he had found.

He bribed the servant who drugged the dog in a roundabout way and did not work for them. Although Ancheng did it smoothly, he was still worried that it would be discovered.

“Kill him. Those people work for Chu Liuyue. Kill them all!” Chu Liuchen waved his hand indifferently as if he was asking about the weather.

The key to this matter was indeed sent by Chu Liuyue. In this way, it would not be discovered by others. Ruiping Great Elder Princess would not find it out, but it was possible for Chu Liuyue to do it. It was most appropriate to wipe out the evidence directly. Even if people wanted to investigate, they could only trace it to Chu Liuyue and then to Ruiping Great Elder Princess.

This was an impasse.

Ruiping Great Elder Princess was backed by Prince Zhou.

“I see!” Ancheng smiled since what Chu Liuchen said was also on his mind. Then, he cupped his hands to Chu Liuchen and said seriously, “Your Highness, I have found out what you asked me to investigate before. Secondary Consort Shao’s body was sent out of the palace by someone from Prince Yue’s Mansion, and Prince Zhou’s Mansion also intervened in it. The palace is in such chaos that it didn’t take much effort for the two princes to get the body out of the palace together.”

“It was done by just the two of them?” Chu Liuchen’s smile looked a little weird under the light.

Ancheng thought for a moment before he said, “It ought to be only the two of them.”

“More than that.” Chu Liuchen waved his slender fingers in front of Ancheng and said with a particularly dazzling smile, “I believe that Shao Yanru is now in Prince Cheng’s place.”

“Your Highness, is that possible? Both Prince Yue and Prince Zhou have intervened in it?” Ancheng didn’t believe it. Although he didn’t find out where Shao Yanru was, he didn’t think she was in Prince Cheng’s place. He had sent someone to keep an eye on Prince Cheng and didn’t see where Shao Yanru had gone.

“Uncle Cheng is the last fox.” Chu Liuchen smiled gently, and his smile was like a cold blade.

“But it’s impossible… Even if Prince Cheng intervenes, he… he doesn’t like women.” Ancheng shook his head and said, “It’s impossible. Prince Cheng really likes men. Even if Miss Shao is the most beautiful, he won’t like her. Why would he take such a big risk for her?”

“Uncle Cheng is into that position!” Chu Liuchen said slowly.

“Definitely.” Ancheng nodded. They had investigated this matter clearly. Prince Cheng was very ambitious. He was definitely not as calm as he looked or was determined to become a monk. The sourcᴇ of this content is novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ - ɴovᴇlbin

What he showed in front of everyone was an illusion. He was behind many things, but he had always been very careful. Those things seemed to be done by either Prince Yue or Prince Zhou.

“Since he wants to ascend the throne, he must want to pass it down. In this case, how can he have no heir? If he likes men, he will have no children!” Chu Liuchen’s tone was light and evil. He didn’t look as gentle as he used to be.

Ancheng was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly opened wide. He understood.

“Prince Cheng is afraid of being investigated, so he pretends to like men?”

“It doesn’t matter whether it is true or not. It should be true that he likes men. But it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t need women to give birth to children for him. With Prince Cheng’s temperament, he must be unwilling to let the territory that he has worked so hard for fall into the hands of others again. He has waited for so many years for the sake of success in one day.”

Chu Liuchen’s smile was evil and meaningful. Compared with Chu Liuyue and Chu Liuzhou, Prince Cheng was his real opponent.

He picked up a file and threw it at Ancheng. He said lazily, “Read it. You should understand what to do next.”

Ancheng nimbly took it. After opening it and reading it for a while, his eyes were full of surprise and he nodded repeatedly.

Shao Wanru’s carriage stopped at the door of a pharmacy. She got out of the carriage with a curtain hat and entered the pharmacy.

When the shop-boy in the pharmacy saw two maids accompanying their master in, he could tell that they were from a rich family. He stepped forward and asked eagerly, “Miss, what medicinal materials do you need?”

“Do you have 100-year-old ginseng?” Shao Wanru asked gently.

100-year-old ginseng was rare. It was often the most precious treasure in many mansions and was priceless.

“Miss, I’m really sorry. I don’t have ginseng of such an old age, but I do have some about 50 years old,” the shop-boy said with a flattering smile.

Yujie saw Shao Wanru nod and said, “Please show it to us!”

After the shop-boy answered, he took out three branches of ginseng. Yujie was experienced. She had dug up ginseng in the mountains before. She picked one up, looked at it, and replied to Shao Wanru, “My Lady, this ginseng is indeed about 50 years old, but several of its roots have been destroyed. It is not in good condition.”

If the roots were damaged, it would also damage the efficacy of the ginseng.

After Yujie finished speaking, she looked at the other two branches and felt that they were not as good as the first one, so she shook her head helplessly.

“Is there anything better?” Shao Wanru asked.

“No. These are the best,” the shop-boy said helplessly.

Another shop-boy passed by and suddenly asked, “Didn’t the guys send a 100-year-old one here before?”

“It’s not a century-old one, but a 70-or-80-year-old one. Someone has already booked it!” The previous shop-boy shook his head hurriedly.

“Can you show us?” Shao Wanru suddenly asked, “Don’t worry. Since it has been booked, we won’t press you.”

Since she had said that, the shop-boy could not insist on not taking it out. He could only turn around and go in. After a while, he took out an exquisite box.

When the box was opened, they could see that a branch of ginseng was placed inside, and its roots were very intact.

“My Lady, this ginseng is nice. Although it is not a hundred years old, it is old enough.” Yujie took it very carefully and gave the answer after looking at it.

The shop-boy didn’t want Yujie to pick it up to have a look, for fear that the roots on it would be damaged. However, Yujie seemed to be an expert, so he didn’t stop her.

“May I ask which mansion has ordered it?” Shao Wanru asked kindly.

“Well… it’s inconvenient for us to tell you the information of our guests,” the shop-boy said with embarrassment. This was a business secret, so he couldn’t tell it at will.

“Don’t worry. We just want to make a deal with that guest. If they are willing to give it to us, we are willing to pay double the price,” Yujie said smartly.

“Well…” The shop-boy hesitated.

...

Yujie took out a purse from her sleeve and handed it over quietly.

The shop-boy’s eyes lit up. When he saw that no one else was around, he carefully took the purse and put it under the medicine box in front of him.

After looking around again, he approached Yujie and said in a low voice, “It’s the Third Young Master of the Mansion of the Prime Minister!”

After saying that, he hurriedly looked away and said seriously, “Miss, please go back. Our shop never discloses the information of guests, and it is not allowed at the moment.”

“Okay!” Shao Wanru didn’t make things difficult for the shop-boy and left as soon as she got the news. She indeed wanted to buy the ginseng from the one who had booked it. The ginseng, which was 70 or 80 years old, could also be bought on the market, but she couldn’t have it now.

“Thank you, Miss, for your understanding. Thank you, Miss.” The shop-boy thanked her repeatedly.

Shao Wanru picked some other medicines and asked the shop-boy to measure them before she paid for them. Then, she turned around and was about to leave with the medicines she had bought. She had to go to other pharmacies to see if there was such ginseng. If there was no 100-year-old ginseng, the 70-or-80-year-old kind would do. Not every pharmacy had such ginseng.

She needed ginseng at this age.

It was Mingqiu Nun’s special order. Today, she went out mainly for this reason. The medicine for feigning death was related to such ginseng.

“Princess Chen?” An elegant voice suddenly came to her ears. Shao Wanru looked up and was stunned to see Wen Xichi standing in front of her. He was looking at her in confusion as if he didn’t recognize her for a while. But when he looked at Yujie and Qing’er standing beside her, a smile appeared on his face. “Greetings, Princess Chen!”

Now, he was sure that it was her.
