Chapter 21: The Chancellor's Hesitation
a foothold outside.Just as Qingxuan was about to leave the secret passage and continue searching for shops outside, Nangong Ye hesitated."Yuan'er…"He called out to her, but he saw no surprise on her...Qingxuan's hand holding the list froze.
Then, the original owner's biological mother had also said... 。In this world, most people are born into humble circumstances and face the wickedness of the world but lack the courage to change their fate. 。When Ji Duhou forgot her mother, some of her mother's friends from the flower house came to visit her. Seeing how destitute her mother was, Hong Yi, who had already redeemed herself, wanted to help her mother by opening a hotel together. Although it would be hard work in the future, at least they could live comfortably. 。But her mother felt that her life now was her destiny. As a concubine of Marquis Jiandu, she had to stay loyal to him. 。She had firmly rejected Hong Yi's plan to open a hotel in the countryside, she was waiting wholeheartedly for Marquis Ji Du to change his mind. Unexpectedly, what she received was Lu Xue Pei cutting off her monthly allowance. 。At this point, she could still choose to go to her aunt's house in another region, but her mother had not... 。She's still here. 。In the chilly depths of night, she wept silently in her room, choking back sobs as she murmured that this was her fate, a destiny she could only accept. 。However, for Qingxuan, she never believed in fate. 。
She believes that man can conquer nature.
When Zhang Biao, a middle-aged man, saw Qingxuan's name on the list, he worried that the thousand taels of silver he was about to receive would be gone. He glared at Qingxuan angrily, wishing he could chop her up and throw her into a mass grave. 。Zhang Biao: "This list from the Prime Minister's Mansion isn't something a woman like you, who doesn't even know her place, can just reveal!"Qingxuan coldly glared at Zhang Biao. 。At just a glance, Zhang Biao was intimidated by Qingxuan's icy aura. 。"A ruffian's words are like a dog's bark, this girl won't waste her time on someone like you." 。
Qing turned to the steward: "Since I have topped the list, I naturally have confidence in curing the Madame's illness.
If it cannot be cured, then I will do as I said above and remove both my hands, and from then on, I will no longer practice medicine. 。
Qingxuan had already said things to this extent, the housekeeper hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping.
But now the wife of the prime minister is at death's door and we can't wait any longer. 。
The housekeeper pondered for a long while before saying, “Follow me both of you”
The steward led her and Zhang Biao into the main hall, and soon she saw Chancellor Song Tingfeng. 。Although Song Tingfeng was over forty, he was well-maintained and looked only in his thirties. However, his eyes were sharp and experienced. 。As soon as Song Tingfeng entered, his gaze was fixed on her and Zhang Biao, scrutinizing them without a trace. 。Song Tingfeng finally set his gaze on her: "I heard you topped the first list" 。"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the common woman did indeed unveil the first banner, and she knows the consequences if she fails to cure your wife's illness..." 。The wife of the prime minister is in imminent danger now. May I please go check on her condition first so that I can start treatment immediately 。Song Tingfeng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his expression hesitant. 。At this moment, Zhang Biao hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, this woman doesn't know where she came from" 。It is not that the imperial physicians at the palace could not cure the illness of the prime minister's wife in a short time. 。The current Chancellor's wife is on the brink of death. You only have to use such a remedy to treat her illness. 。Since even the old imperial physician was helpless, how could a young girl like her possibly cure the wife of the prime minister!”Zhang Biao's words probably struck a chord with Song Tingfeng. 。Now that Song Tingfeng was desperate to save his wife, he would resort to any wicked method, no matter how cruel, as long as it could cure her illness. 。Song Tingfeng sighed and turned to her: "Miss, please go back." 。 。The steward, hearing this, immediately stepped forward and asked Qingxuan to leave. 。
Qingxuan: “Wait! Grand Minister, I hear that the Grand Minister's wife is kind and gentle
Every first day of the month, she would go to Qinglong Temple to perform good deeds. Even three years ago, when she learned that many beggars had been displaced by floods in the suburbs, she personally went to give them food and clothing. 。Not to mention the vicious remedy of using the living eyes of unmarried girls born in the yang year, yang month, and yang hour as a medicine to cure the illness of the Prime Minister's wife. 。Even if this method could cure the prime minister's wife's illness, it would become a lifelong heartache for her. 。Such a heartache was like a venomous snake growing on the pure heart of the Prime Minister's wife, tormenting her all night and preventing her from sleeping…”Seeing the Prime Minister fall into hesitation again, Zhang Biao immediately interrupted her. 。Zhang Biao: "You're talking nonsense! What venomous snake, what non-venomous snake! The most important thing now is to save the mistress of the Prime Minister's life!"te, I should head back to rest. 。This servant shall take her leave. 。As the ginger concubine turned to leave, a flash of malice crossed her eyes, and she gritted her teeth fiercely. 。Ji Qingxuan, now...
