Chapter 54 Just between you and me
It was unknown whether Jun Jiuchen believed Gu Feiyan’s words, but he was still interested in the new prescription. He finally speak out, "In your opinion, which type of ore should we use for the Scarlet Flame Medicinal Ore? What should be the medicine catalyst? "
When Prince Jing spoke, Gu Feiyan finally let out a sigh of relief.
She raised her head, her rosy face was filled with seriousness, "As far as I know, there are three types of medicinal ores to expel the cold besides the Scarlet Flame Medicinal Ore. Different combinations, different medicine catalyst. This servant is not a physician, so for this matter, I still need a physician to diagnose and prescribe the medicine. This servant can only advise you on the prescription. "
Jun Jiuchen looked at her thoughtfully. "You're just a little medicine girl, where did your medical skills come from?"
In that instant, a familiar feeling came over Gu Feiyan. She thought of the stinky ice-cube assassin who had also seen her like this before and asked her.
Although Gu Feiyan felt that the stinky ice-cube assassin's personality was similar to that of Prince Jing, she had never put Jun Jiuchen in the list of suspects. She secretly thought that she should find an opportunity to find out which prince had similar temperament to Prince Jing.
Gu Feiyan's response was the same as before, she said, "I have inherited a medicinal scripture from my ancestors, so I've been studying it for a few years. It's quite useful, but I can't compare to the pharmacists at the Imperial Pharmacy."
Although Gu Feiyan knew this was a secret, she was still very surprised. She said earnestly, "Your Highness, you must not! Without a physician's diagnosis, this servant cannot casually prescribe the medicine! The right medicine is a medicine, if it is not the right medicine, then it is a poison! "
"Your lordship only needs to dispel the cold." Jun Jiuchen seemed as if he didn't care about the danger of this illness, and coldly added, "You don't need to worry about anything else."
"But Your Highness …"
"If you want to remain in the prince's mansion, you should know that your lordship does not like meddlesome people!"
There were many ways to dispel the cold! For the body cold caused by different causes, the prescription used is different. Gu Feiyan had a faint feeling that His Highness Prince Jing seemed to want to expel the cold to protect his life and not treat his illness.
In other words, what he wanted was a cure that wouldn't treat the root of the illness. But which physician was the one who gave him the prescription? Why didn't he go find that physician?
There must be a secret here, a huge secret!
While Gu Feiyan was deep in thought, Jun Jiuchen suddenly squatted down and looked her in the eye. Gu Feiyan was startled. She thought he was suspicious of something, but she heard his low and cold voice: "Gu Feiyan, remember, this matter, just between you and me. Once it is leaked..."
Jun Jiuchen didn't continue speaking as he coldly looked at Gu Feiyan. His eyes were so cold that it seemed as if they would freeze anyone who looked at him a thousand miles away!
Although Gu Feiyan was afraid, she still took the opportunity to speak up, "Your Highness, this servant is willing to keep this a secret and help you use medicine to dispel the cold. This servant promises not to reveal to anyone and that I will do my best. Only that three months later, Your Highness will leave this servant.”
Three months. Not short, but not long.
Three months later, if she were to leave Prince Jing’s Mansion, she would still have to face the Qi family and Princess Huaining. In this bullying and life-threatening world, before she was strong enough to become her own backer, she had to find a backer for herself to ensure her own survival!
She didn't know what Jun Jiuchen was thinking, but his gaze was still cold and serene. He looked at Gu Feiyan for a long time, and then coldly said, "We'll discuss this after three months."
He got up and left.
However, Gu Feiyan was pleasantly surprised. She thought that since His Highness Prince Jing didn't reject, it was a good sign. She silently encouraged herself. She had to work hard!
Gu Feiyan wanted to leave, but when she saw the back of Prince Jing slowly blur in the darkness, she stopped and felt an inexplicable pang in her heart.
How could there be a sick person in this world who didn't want to be cured?
How old was he when he started to get sick? What could have caused him to endure that bone-piercing cold for so many years? If not for this cold disease, would his temper be a little warmer? He was such a handsome person, how beautiful would it be if he warmed up?
She clearly knew that the more she knew, the more dangerous it would be, but she couldn't help but want to know more.
Gu Feiyan was immersed in all kinds of questions, and only when a servant passed by did she regain her senses and leave in a hurry.
Gu Feiyan spent three days to come up with three prescriptions. These three prescriptions corresponded to the combination of three different cold repellent and scarlet flame medicinal ores, as well as the most important medicinal ingredients. Although Prince Jing only wanted to drive away the cold, she had many things on her mind. For example, after expelling the cold, he could warm his meridians; for example, how to minimize the side effects of medicinal ores.
Early in the morning, Gu Feiyan wrapped herself in an old cotton-padded jacket and waited at the entrance of Prince Jing's sleeping chambers. She was almost frozen stiff by the time he finally came out.
"Your Highness, Your Highness …"
Gu Feiyan quickly stepped forward and was about to open her mouth when she couldn't help but sneeze. She quickly turned her head away in embarrassment. After making sure that she wouldn't sneeze again, she turned around, handed over the prescription, and said earnestly, "Your Highness, this is the prescription you wanted. The effects of these three prescriptions aren't too different, but they aren't easy to find. I hope that Your Highness will not delay your search. If you find the medicine early, then the risk will be reduced."
Her cheeks and the tip of her nose were red from the cold. She was not beautiful, but when she was serious, she had an indescribable charm.
Jun Jiuchen looked at her for a long time, but didn't say anything.
Gu Feiyan didn't understand, and she panicked, "Your Highness … …"
Jun Jiuchen recovered from his shock, took the prescription and read through one by one. Then he said, "You don't have to worry about finding medicinal herbs."
Gu Feiyan only nodded. She thought, since His Highness Prince Jing was able to obtain so many scarlet flame medicinal ores, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to find other ores. Since he said so, he should have connections.
Jun Jiuchen was about to leave when he stopped and called out to Xia Xiaoman, "Give Medicine Girl Gu ten thousand gold. Also, from today onwards, you have to give the orders that the matter of the medicines will be under her responsibility."
Did His Highness trust her completely? Both he and Mang Zhong didn't know the prescription, but this little girl knew it all!
And, ten thousand gold!
Isn't this a bit too extravagant? Gu Feiyan's monthly salary at the imperial pharmacy was only fifty gold coins. This ten thousand gold was more than ten years of work for Gu Feiyan!
Xia Xiaoman deeply felt that his status as the most popular person within Prince Jing’s Mansion was in danger!
Even after Jun Jiuchen had left, she still hadn't realized that she had yet to thank him.
Happiness came too suddenly!
