The Splendid Medical Concubine: The Journey of a Concubine

Chapter 72 Chapter 072 Revealed

"Cousin, thank you." Qingyu took the small porcelain jar handed over by Amber as if she had found a treasure, and carefully held it in her hand, thanking her profusely, "I have only used this ointment for a few days, and the wound It's great, the scar is almost gone." Qingyu touched the wound on her face with her other hand, feeling both happy and grateful.

"We are all sisters, why are you so polite." Hu Bo said with a smile, and estimated that the time was about the same, and said deliberately, "I tell you, this is the medicine of the miracle doctor of Jishi Hall, you should use it sparingly..."

"I have to go on an errand, so I'll leave first." Amber turned around holding the handkerchief and was about to leave.

Qingyu said quickly: "Cousin, I'll see you off."

When Qing Yu sent Hu Huo out of the hospital, she happened to be face to face with Liu and her daughter Chu Qianling. Liu knew Qing Yu, but Qing Yu was just a second-class maid. Liu didn't look at her much before, but now she looked at her. She remembered that her face was scratched by broken porcelain a few days ago.

Mrs. Liu had just heard what the cousins ​​said outside the hospital, and her face was as dark as water.

"Come here!" Mrs. Liu raised her finger at Qingyu, and Qingyu walked towards her with a low eyebrow and curtsied.

Mrs. Liu said again: "Lift your face!"

Qingyu obediently raised her face. Liu looked carefully and found that there was only a little red mark on Qingyu's face. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to see it at all.

Ms. Liu didn't know how deep Qingyu's wound was at that time. She only remembered that it bled a lot. Now it seems that it was healed too quickly.

Chu Qianling also came over to look at Qingyu's face. She was also surprised and asked hurriedly: "Qingyu, did you use this ointment?" She pointed at the small porcelain jar with white background and blue flowers in Qingyu's hand, her voice slightly sharp. .

Qingyu shrank back, holding the small porcelain jar tightly with one hand, responded "Yes", and said timidly: "This is given to me by my cousin."

Chu Qianling's eyes suddenly looked at Amber again, her eyes were like arrows, as if she wanted to nail Amber to the wall.

Ms. Liu asked Hu Huo for Chu Qianling: "This ointment...where did you get it?"

Amber replied: "This is the Shiquan ointment our girl bought from Jishitang. Qingyu is my cousin. When I saw that she was injured, I asked the girl and asked for some for her."

For Chu Qianling, these words were like igniting the fuse of a firecracker, and she exploded instantly.

"You said, this is Chu Qianchen's medicine?!" Chu Qianling said almost every word, almost going crazy.

Chu Qianchen knew clearly that he was looking for the miracle doctor from Jishi Hall, and knew that he was asking for medicine, but he actually hid it from himself and refused to give him the ointment!

Chu Qianling turned around without saying a word, rushed out of the courtyard, and rushed towards the main courtyard, walking faster and faster.

"Sister Ling!"

Mrs. Liu called Chu Qianling, but Chu Qianling turned a deaf ear and walked faster.

Chu Qianling's mind was buzzing, as if there were countless bees buzzing, and there seemed to be **** of flames burning...

When she rushed to the main courtyard in one breath, she happened to see Chu Qianchen coming out of Chu Yunmu's room, and her anger became even stronger.

"Chu, Qian, Chen, what on earth do you mean?!" Chu Qianling scolded sternly.

Because she had run all the way, her breathing was short and her chest was heaving.

At this time, most of the setting sun had set, and the golden afterglow shrouded the eaves and treetops, outlining the graceful silhouettes and clothes of the two girls.

Chu Qianchen stopped and looked up at Chu Qianling, with a faint smile on his lips.

This careless look and smile fell into Chu Qianling's eyes, full of mockery.

Chu Qianling's hair was a little messy from running just now. Compared with the calm and elegant Chu Qianchen in front of her, she looked a little embarrassed, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.

The cool evening breeze at dusk blew up her veil, revealing the somewhat ferocious scar on her cheek. The scar had healed, but it had formed a slightly raised flesh scar, like a flesh-colored centipede entrenched there.

Chu Qianling subconsciously pulled on the floating veil, and the anger in her heart jumped higher, burning her reason.

She took two more strides in Chu Qianchen's direction, stood in front of Chu Qianchen, and asked aggressively: "Chu Qianchen, why don't you give me the ointment?!"

She was angry and anxious, feeling that Chu Qianchen had clearly done it on purpose.

Not only did Chu Qianchen deliberately ruin her face, he also knew that she wanted the miracle doctor's ointment to treat her face, but he hid the medicine and refused to give it to her. He watched helplessly as she asked for it but couldn't get it, and watched her suffer in pain because of her facial injury. .

He even went so far as to give the ointment to a cheap maid instead of her. How could there be such a vicious person in this world!

Several clusters of flames were beating fiercely in Chu Qianling's eyes.

Chu Qianchen looked at Chu Qianling with a smile and asked lightly: "Is this the ointment you are talking about?

She took out a small porcelain jar with a white background and blue flowers from her sleeve pocket. The small porcelain jar was no bigger than a fist. It looked ordinary, but it made Chu Qianling's heart skip a beat.

The small porcelain jar Chu Qianchen took out was exactly the same as the one Qingyu held in his hand just now. The sapphire blue pattern of chrysanthemums entwining branches on it was so familiar.

Chu Qianling no longer had time to question Chu Qianchen, her eyes were glued to the small porcelain jar.

She didn't expect that Chu Qianchen actually had a bottle here!

Chu Qianling had never met Gu Zhiyan. She only heard from Nanny Zhang that the miracle doctor in Jishi Hall had an ointment called "Shiquan Ointment", which was particularly effective in removing scars. Gu Zhiyan was originally injured. It was even more powerful than her, but in just a short time, the scars became so faded that they were almost invisible.

What Grandma Zhang said was mysterious. Chu Qianling also had high hopes for the miracle doctor. However, several times he asked for help, the miracle doctor refused to see him. To be honest, Chu Qianling still had some feelings for this miracle doctor who was rumored to be better than Hua Tuo in Chinese medicine. There were four or five percent doubts, but when she saw with her own eyes that the wounds on Qingyu's face disappeared in just a few days, her doubts were swept away.

Now, for Chu Qianling, this ointment can be said to have placed all her hopes on it.

"Give it to me!" Chu Qianling's eyes glowed with blazing light, and she stretched out her hand to grab it.

"No."

Chu Qianchen said these two words lightly and smiled sweetly.

As she spoke, her right hand let go, and the small porcelain jar slipped from her fingers and fell rapidly to the ground...

"Ah!" Chu Qianling screamed hysterically from the bottom of her throat, her eyes widened, and she subconsciously rushed forward to pick up the small porcelain jar.

However, her hand came up empty.

"Bang!"

The fragile porcelain hit the hard bluestone floor and immediately fell into pieces. The transparent paste splashed all over the floor along with the tiny pieces of porcelain.

Chu Qianling felt as if her heart was broken.

She squatted down in despair and couldn't help but touch the ointment on the ground with her fingers. Without this ointment, her face would never recover, and the second prince would never look at her again...

Chu Qianchen took a step closer to Chu Qianling, and the green lotus-colored skirt came into her sight, as well as the toe caps embroidered with a pair of colorful butterflies.

Chu Qianling's eyes followed the green lotus-colored skirt. Chu Qianchen's delicate chin was slightly raised, with a kind of aloof arrogance.

At this moment, Chu Qianling felt that the bright and beautiful girl in front of her was a little strange.

Chu Qianchen dusted off his sleeves casually and said softly: "Chu Qianling, this Shiquan Cream is here. I would rather smash it than give it to you."

She didn't call Chu Qianling's third sister, but called her by her first name, and the alienation in her words was obvious.

As early as she knew that Chu Qianling's sword attack was intentional, she no longer regarded Chu Qianling as her sister.

In her previous life, Chu Qianling ruined her face, leaving her with that horrific scar for the rest of her life.

Originally, this life could be regarded as retaliation, but Chu Qianling came to provoke her again and again. In this case, don't blame her.

Chu Qianchen didn't think she was a broad-minded person. After all, this was the medicine she made. Why should she give it to Chu Qianling? !

"Chu Qianchen!"

Chu Qianling was going crazy.

Her slender fingers were stained with transparent paste, and she looked at Chu Qianchen with hateful and crazy eyes, as if she wanted to tear her into pieces.

Chu Qianchen is so vicious, she just deliberately doesn't want to see her good. She is afraid that if her face gets better, she will steal the second prince from her!

Chu Qianling's eyes were red, tears were rolling in her eyes, and her heart was burning more and more.

"Aren't you convinced?" Chu Qianchen looked directly into Chu Qianling's eyes, smiling lightly, with a condescending coldness at the corners of his eyes and brows, "Just hold it in if you don't accept it."

"Chu Qianchen!" Chu Qianling suddenly jumped up from the ground, rushed towards Chu Qianchen, and clawed at her face with her long nails, wishing to tear her face to pieces.

Chu Qianchen ducked out of the way nimbly, and Chu Qianling jumped into the air and fell to the ground in a panic. He put his hands on the ground, and his delicate palms were hurt by the gravel on the ground.

"Ah, third sister, you didn't feel any pain from the fall, did you?"

Chu Qianchen looked "worried" and wanted to help Chu Qianling.

With her back to the room, as she approached Chu Qianling, she said in a voice so low that only the two of them could hear: "Third sister, I forgot to tell you, I still have a bottle of ointment. This is the last bottle. ”

Chu Qianling: "?"

"But why should I give it to you?" Chu Qianchen's voice was lowered and his words were clear, "You almost ruined my face, why do you still expect me to help you in return of kindness?"

"You wanted to ruin my face! Now you deserve all this."

"You said, isn't it?"

Chu Qianchen's voice was soft, soft and cold. In Chu Qianling's ears, it was like a seducer from the underworld. Chu Qianling's limbs felt cold.

Chu Qianling panicked a little and her body trembled slightly.

She was afraid that Chu Qianchen would go crazy and smash the last bottle of ointment.

"No..." Chu Qianling knelt on the ground and raised her hand to grab Chu Qianchen's sleeve, but Chu Qianchen only flicked his hand and easily avoided it.

Chu Qianchen sighed softly, straightened up and was about to leave. Chu Qianling quickly shouted: "Second sister, don't leave..."

"No, it's not that I want to harm you..."

Her voice softened, and there was pleading in her eyes and tone, so fragile and frightened.

"Aren't you trying to harm me?" Chu Qianchen tilted his little face and asked deliberately, as if with a hint of doubt and a hint of ridicule, "Could someone have asked you to do this?"

Chu Qianling: "..."

She was startled, her mood fluctuating violently.

"Third sister, you don't have to say anything," Chu Qianchen walked around Chu Qianling's right side, raised his voice a little higher, and said at a normal volume, "I will not give you this ointment."

With that said, she stopped looking at Chu Qianling and walked directly out of the yard.

Chu Qianling's whole body was as cold as if he was in an ice cellar. From his limbs to his heart, everything was cold, and his mind was in confusion.

In the past, Chu Qianchen was cowardly and timid, and would only carefully please others. She never dared to talk to herself like this.

But now Chu Qianchen seemed to be a completely different person, as confident and firm as Yuan Ting Yue Zhi, which made Chu Qianling feel a little panicked and inexplicably afraid.

Today I smashed Jishitang in anger, and I have completely offended Jishitang. I am afraid that I really won’t be able to hire that miracle doctor.

If Chu Qianchen really would rather destroy the bottle of ointment than give it to himself...

Chu Qianling raised her hand and touched her cheek behind the veil, and she could easily feel the raised scar with her fingertips.

She must be ugly now. Will she stay like this for the rest of her life? Chu Qianling looked a little dazed and lost her soul.

She suddenly became confused. She couldn't figure out why she wanted to ruin Chu Qianchen's appearance at that time.

In a daze, a female voice sounded in Chu Qianling's ears:

"Third sister, second sister is really beautiful, don't you think so? No wonder Cousin Zhao likes her..."

Chu Qianling looked at Chu Qianchen's back in front of her blankly, and murmured as if she was possessed: "No, no."

At this time, Chu Qianchen, who had reached the entrance of the courtyard, stopped and still did not look back, saying: "I will not give the ointment to someone who is deliberately trying to harm me."

Chu Qianchen took out a small porcelain jar with a white background and blue flowers from his sleeve pocket, and raised it high, as if he would let go at any time.

"Stop!" Chu Qianling struggled to get up and blurted out, "It's not me! It's really not me who wants to harm you."

"It's eldest sister...it was Chu Qianhuang who asked me to ruin your face!"

"Third sister, what are you talking about!" At this time, a familiar female voice came from behind and shouted.

Chu Qianling turned around and saw Chu Qianhuang walking out of Chu Yunmu's room with Mrs. Shen. The girl in red turned pale and looked at Chu Qianling with disbelief.

"Third sister, how can you talk nonsense!"

"Mom, third sister, she, she..."

She was angry and anxious, her pretty little palm-sized face was full of grievances, and she was so angry that she was incoherent, "Third sister, I know you want the miracle doctor's ointment, but you can't touch me randomly."

Chu Qianchen turned around slowly, grabbed the small porcelain jar in his hand, squeezed it, and looked back and forth between Chu Qianhuang and Chu Qianling with a confused expression.

"For this Shiquan Cream?" She seemed to be saying to herself, but also seemed to be questioning.

Perfect paste! Chu Qianling stared at the small porcelain jar in Chu Qianchen's hand, and felt a little relieved when she saw that she didn't smash it again.

Chu Qianling clenched her fists tightly and faced the different looks of Shen, Chu Qianhuang and Chu Qianchen. The servants in the courtyard also looked at her with complicated expressions and whispered to each other. Whisper.

Chu Qianling was only twelve years old, and had never encountered such a situation before, which was a moment of chaos.

However, the words that came out of her mouth were like water being thrown out, and she could not swallow them back.

Anyway, she told the truth!

Chu Qianling raised her finger and pointed at Chu Qianhuang, identifying her: "That's the eldest sister. It was the eldest sister who asked me to do this!"

The words Chu Qianhuang said to her in the past sounded in Chu Qianling's ears again -

"Third sister, do you know that the family intends to choose one of you and the second sister to be Cousin Zhao's concubine?"

"When I was a child, Cousin Zhao was obviously more affectionate to you. However, my daughter has changed and her second sister has indeed been born well. Even I have to look at you more, let alone Cousin Zhao."

"As my grandmother said, some things are destined by nature. It is also her good fortune that the second sister's face can catch the eye of Cousin Zhao."

"Third sister, don't be too sad. As the saying goes, beauty is in the bones, not the skin. No matter how good your appearance is, it will not last long after all."

“…”

Chu Qianling repeated all Chu Qianhuang's words and emphasized: "These words are all said by the eldest sister!"

At that moment, Chu Qianling suddenly had an enlightenment and completely figured it out.

Although she has always hated the enchanting Chu Qianchen, if Chu Qianhuang hadn't said those words in front of her, she would never have thought of destroying Chu Qianchen's face!

"By the way, it was my eldest sister who praised me for my good sword dancing and said that Cousin Zhao liked to watch me dance, so I took the pair of mandarin duck swords and wanted to show him how to dance..."

And because of this, everything that happened later happened!

right!

It's all Chu Qianhuang's fault!

It was all Chu Qianhuang who harmed her!

Chu Qianling looked at Chu Qianhuang with a malicious light in her eyes, and transferred her disgust towards Chu Qianchen and fear of disfigurement onto Chu Qianhuang.

"Third sister." Chu Qianhuang interrupted Chu Qianling eagerly, unable to conceal the indignation of being wronged, and said sternly, "I didn't!"

"Sister Huang, is what Sister Ling said true?" Shen looked at Chu Qianhuang with a complicated expression, with a mixture of shock, hesitation and confusion.

Just now, she heard the quarrel outside in the house, so she came out to take a look. Unexpectedly, she heard the conversation.

From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to believe what Chu Qianling said.

Chu Qianhuang is the daughter she raised by herself. She has been sensible and well-behaved since she was a child, respectful and filial to her elders, and loving and caring to her younger brothers and sisters. In this huge capital city, her daughter can be said to be one of the best noble ladies. How could she do this? This kind of thing is coming!

How could she do such a thing!

Use words to encourage one sister to bully another sister! ?

How could her daughter be so vicious!

Shen's instinct told her not to, but listening to Chu Qianling's words and looking at her expression at the moment, it didn't look like she was lying...

"Mother," Chu Qianhuang shook her head at the Shens, "I don't."

She looked directly into Shen's eyes and said, "Mother, believe me... I have no reason to harm my second sister." Her eyes were slightly red, and she was worried, angry, and uneasy.

Chu Qianchen murmured: "Yes, eldest sister has no reason to harm me." She rubbed the small porcelain jar in her hand and seemed to be confused by Chu Qianhuang and Chu Qianling.

good. Mrs. Shen stared at Chu Qianhuang blankly, her hands unconsciously exerting force, and she clenched the handkerchief tighter.

Logically speaking, there is no reason for the daughter to harm Chu Qianchen. Doing this kind of thing is simply harming others and not benefiting oneself.

"No!" Chu Qianling shouted, with a bit of hoarse confusion.

She was already in a dilemma, and she hated Chu Qianhuang even more in her heart. She clearly didn't like Chu Qianchen, but she still wanted to provoke her and kill someone with a borrowed knife!

"Sister Ling!"

At this time, the second lady Liu arrived in a hurry, her breath was messy.

She saw her daughter standing there helplessly, surrounded by servants in the main courtyard besides Shen and her daughter. She looked like a whole courtyard of people bullying her daughter.

Mrs. Liu, who always protected her shortcomings, strode over and shouted: "Sister Ling, don't be afraid, mother is here!"

"mother."

As soon as she saw Madam Liu, Chu Qianling felt as if she had seen a savior. Tears rolled down her face instantly. She rushed towards Madam Liu and cried, "Mom, it's my eldest sister!"

"It was my eldest sister who instigated me, so I wanted to ruin Chu Qianchen's face."

"Then my face will..."

Chu Qianling covered her cheek behind the veil in pain.

Thinking back on the pain I had suffered these past few days, as well as the despair of being told by doctors that I would be disfigured again and again, at this moment, everything came to my mind.

After saying "it was the eldest sister who harmed me" over and over again, Chu Qianling had already determined this.

All her hatred, all her resentment, all her resentment were turned towards Chu Qianhuang.

Mrs. Liu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she said doubtfully, "Sister Ling, what did you say? You must have made a mistake, right?"

Chu Qianhuang is the eldest daughter of the Chu family. She has always been outstanding in appearance, elegant and intelligent. How could she do such a thing?

Liu's shock and hesitation were clearly shown on her face.

Seeing that even her mother didn't believe her, Chu Qianling became even more angry and her facial features were a little distorted.

She pointed at Chu Qianhuang regardless and said, "The words I just said were all said by you!"

"I, Chu Qianling, swear to God that if I tell a lie, I will be struck by thunder and die!"

"Just let my face never get better!"

Chu Qianling shouted angrily, staring fiercely at Chu Qianhuang a few steps away, "Chu Qianhuang, do you dare to swear? You tell me!"

She was like a wounded cub, with a kind of madness and despair in a desperate situation.

Chu Qianhuang: "I..."

Chu Qianhuang's face turned paler, and her breathing seemed to have stopped.

Her eyes were a little erratic, she took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Since the third sister said so, I, Chu Qianhuang, swear to God, if it was really me who instigated it..."

"Enough!"

At this time, Shen suddenly interrupted Chu Qianhuang.

Shen's waist was straight and elegant as usual, but her eyes when looking at Chu Qianhuang were extremely sharp, and her heart was filled with disappointment.

The moment Chu Qianling asked her daughter to swear, panic flashed across her daughter's face. Although she hid it well, Mrs. Shen could still see it at a glance.

In other words, her daughter probably really said those words.

Shen's phoenix eyes were dark and gloomy, and she said in a slightly astringent voice: "Sister Huang, tell me, have you ever said such a thing to your third sister?"

"Growing up, if you feel panicked, you will pick at your fingertips nervously."

"Don't try to lie to me!"

Shen said the last five words extremely sharply, and shot them like a sharp arrow.

Chu Qianhuang's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously let go of her right hand.

The crumpled handkerchief slipped from her hand and fell to the cold ground.

And on the pad of her index finger, a blood-red pick mark appeared.

Chu Qianhuang's pupils flickered.

She gritted her teeth, her cheeks as pale as paper, and said, "Mom, I never wanted to encourage the third sister to hurt the second sister. Things are not like what the third sister said."

"Mom, in those days, the third sister was always in a bad mood. She always said, always said..."

She glanced at Chu Qianchen who was standing by and bit her lower lip slightly, as if she found it difficult to speak, "She always said that the second sister was seducing Cousin Zhao and was depressed, so I comforted her a few words."

"I did say those words, but the third sister completely lost my mind. I just wanted to tell the third sister that the second sister is good-looking, but beauty is in the bones, not the skin. How can you marry a virtuous wife based only on her face? My sister shouldn’t be upset because it affects the relationship between sisters.”

"Mom, I really didn't know that the third sister would have such thoughts!"
