Silence reigned in the room.

Gu Feiyan seemed to have discovered something as she looked up and met Jun Jiuchen's profound eyes.

She was scared again. She recklessly assumed that he was examining her, that he still didn't believe in her abilities. Therefore, she looked Jun Jiuchen straight in the eye, and seriously said, "You don't need to look at me like that. I've already said that I'll satisfy you, so I'll definitely guarantee that you'll be satisfied."

Jun Jiuchen was clearly feeling a bit uncomfortable, but he quickly regained his usual coldness and asked, "What did you see?"

Gu Feiyan said seriously, "Give me pen and paper! Hurry up!"

Jun Jiuchen personally took out a pen and paper, while Gu Feiyan placed the first prescription to the side. She then took one medicinal herb from each of the remaining ten prescriptions, and had Jun Jiuchen write them down one by one.

The names of the ten medicinal herbs were as follows: Hare's Ear, Lonicera japonica, Baimiangu, Red Holly, Magnolia berry, Diaohuangzhong, Dragon's Claw Leaf, Gynura Segetum, Bracts, and wild Chinese Asparagus.

Gu Feiyan had a serious look on her face, "The ten prescriptions contain these ten ingredients, and the mystery lies in these ten ingredients."

Jun Jiuchen didn't seem to notice. "What do you mean?"

"Alias name!"

Gu Feiyan endured the dizziness and personally wrote down their aliases under the names of these ten medicinal herbs: one incense, two treasured flowers, three white grasses, four Ji Qing, five Schisandra, six ears bell, seven leaf lotus, eight immortal herbs, ten leaves, a hundred portions.

Jun Jiuchen immediately understood what was going on when he saw these nicknames.

He had to look at the woman in front of him again. One had to know that these prescriptions had been given to quite a number of retired medicinal masters to examine. None of these experts had been able to see through the hidden mysteries. As for this woman, she was able to solve the problem in about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

"The word nine is missing!"

Gu Feiyan was very sure, "Yes! One word is missing!"

Jun Jiuchen was aware of the secret letter's tricks, so he asked, "What about Germander? What is its alias? "

Gu Feiyan replied, "There are a lot of alias for Germanders, and one of the rare alias was called Jian Xie… fei!"

The word "fei" meant Cheng Yifei as the name implied.

As for the word 'ninth', the first thing that came to her mind was Prince Jing, Jun Jiuchen. His Highness, not only has the word "Nine" in his name, he is also ranked ninth among the princes!

Gu Feiyan couldn't think that the man in front of her was none other than Prince Jing, Jun Jiuchen. She grew anxious, "His Highness Prince Jing is in danger. We must immediately find a way to warn him!"

Jun Jiuchen was very calm, "I didn't expect that Eunuch Wu would also be an expert in medicine."

Eunuch Wu had some skill to be able to understand the meaning of the secret letter.

Gu Feiyan didn't care about Eunuch Wu's capabilities as she quickly emphasized, "Their next target is His Highness Prince Jing. They lost Cheng Yifei, so they will definitely be anxious. They must be anxious to make a move against His Highness Prince Jing! "

Jun Jiuchen couldn't help but ask when he saw Gu Feiyan's excited expression, "What are you so anxious about?"

Gu Feiyan answered without thinking, "Aren't you in a hurry? I heard that the Emperor is ill. If anything were to happen to His Highness Prince Jing, how could such a small Crown Prince handle it? The conflict between the Qi and Cheng families is still so huge, why isn't it falling into chaos? "

Actually, what Gu Feiyan said wasn't the real reason she was anxious. Her true thought was that the His Highness Prince Jing had saved her life, so she wanted to repay the debt of gratitude. She didn't want to tell this guy the truth, so she could only find another reason.

Jun Jiuchen was interested in her analysis, so he nodded thoughtfully and said, "Go on."

Gu Feiyan thought about it for a moment and then continued, "I heard that His Highness Prince Jing never formed an alliance with anyone. He was even impartial towards the Qi and Cheng families. If you are able to find out who the real culprit is and help Prince Jing avoid any trouble, then His Highness will have a whole new level of respect for you."

According to Gu Feiyan's understanding, before Prince Jing returned to Jinyang City, the fight for the throne had been intense. Many princes bullied the crown prince because he was young and they often schemed against him. After Prince Jing returned, the princes didn't dare to bully the crown prince anymore. His Highness Prince Jing himself didn't fight for the throne, nor did he allow anyone to fight for it with his own younger brother. It was useless to provoke or roping him in. They were afraid of him, loathed him but also wanted to be on good terms with him.

Seeing Jun Jiuchen remain silent, Gu Feiyan hurriedly added, "Instead of being an enemy of Prince Jing, why not befriend him? At least, Prince Jing will owes you a favor. This is something that even a thousand gold coins cannot buy. "

"Hehe, you can't even buy it with a thousand gold?"

The corners of Jun Jiuchen's mouth curled up into an unfathomable smile. He stood up, leaned over the table, and pushed the small cauldron towards Gu Feiyan. He looked into her eyes and said earnestly, "You really did satisfy me. I'll return the cauldron to you. You … I'll accept it. "

It was unknown whether it was because his eyes were too serious or because he was too close, but Gu Feiyan was slightly startled and her heart skipped a beat.

When Jun Jiuchen was about to leave, Gu Feiyan suddenly came back to her senses. She was incredibly happy, so she rushed over to Jun Jiuchen and asked, "Princess Huaining borrowed me from the imperial pharmacy. You'll protect me, right?"

Although she easily rejected Cheng Yifei's good intentions, she was very clear in her heart that once she went to Princess Huaining's place, she would definitely die. There was nothing she could do. Since this fellow had come looking for her, she definitely had to hold on to him tightly!

Gu Feiyan's excitement and expectation were written on her small face, but Jun Jiuchen was expressionless. "Be good and stay here to recuperate. Tomorrow morning, someone will come to pick you up."

Gu Feiyan was so happy. She turned around and asked, "Master, what should I call you?"

She thought, this guy should have revealed his true identity, right? However, Jun Jiuchen only glanced at her once, then turned around and left.

What did he mean?

By the time Gu Feiyan had chased after him, Jun Jiuchen was already nowhere to be seen.

She began to mutter to herself, "Sooner or later, what kind of officer are you trying to be? If you don't tell me, I'll call you. ‘stinky hooligan’!"

She thought for a moment and felt that it wasn't right. She changed another one and said, "He's like a block of ice. I'll call you stinky ice-cube!"

Mang Zhong had heard enough of Gu Feiyan's mutterings while hiding behind the door. The expression under his mask was truly frightening.

Stinky hooligan? Even if all the men in the world were hooligans, their master definitely wouldn't be a hooligan! Stinky ice-cube? His master was indeed cold, but it didn't match the word 'stinky' at all!

Mang Zhong couldn't even imagine his master's reaction when hearing this nickname. Only after Gu Feiyan entered the room did he send the medicine in. Only then did Gu Feiyan discover that there was another guard. She probed him with a few words, but Mang Zhong didn't say anything. He pretended to be deaf and mute, put down the medicine soup and left.

Gu Feiyan did not think too much and happily drank the medicine.

Although she had lost completely against that stinky ice cube, she was in an especially good mood.

The identity of the medicine girl was too low, and the identity of the Qi family's fiancée was not pleasant everywhere. No matter how capable she was, it was extremely difficult for her to find a foothold in the imperial pharmacy. It was easy for any pharmacist of a higher level to bully her, let alone Princess Huaining.
