After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 361: I saw an unexpected scene halfway through

She tore off the sleeve of Jiang Qisheng's injured arm and looked at the wound carefully.

Fortunately, I was able to control the strength and measure well, and did not injure any vital parts. Otherwise, it would have taken a long time just to recover from the injury.

"My lord, the water is coming."

Fu Liu looked at the wound, her eyes trembling, "Sir, he is..."

"The court organized a hunting trip, and the two of us mistakenly entered the mountains and were chased. Lord Jiang was accidentally shot in the arm while trying to protect me." Yuan Qing threw the bloody cotton into the wooden tray. "It's impossible to go back, so I thought of you."

In order to be able to detect Jiang Qisheng's condition in time, Yuan Qing rested on another couch in the wooden house at night.

The next morning.

"Miss Fuliu!"

A shout from outside woke Yuan Qing up.

Yuan Qing stood up and opened the window a little, then saw a young woman leading a maid towards the wooden house.

Fu Liu walked out of the house, took her a little further away, and then said, "Miss Fang, how come you have time to come to my place today?"

Fang Yuemei pursed her lips and smiled, motioning the maid to hand her the basket. "My father sent some goodies to me yesterday. They have already been sent to Sister Xie, so I thought of giving some to you. It's really inconvenient for you to live here alone, and I'm bored over there, so I took this opportunity to come and talk to you."

After coming here, Fu Liu met Fang Yuemei and Miss Xie San by chance, and the three of them had a very pleasant conversation.

"Let me help you put it into the house." Fang Yuemei lifted her skirt and stepped onto the wooden steps.

Under normal circumstances, Fu Liu would never stop her.

But now there are two grown men living on the other side of the cabin, and she has a close relationship with them, so it’s no big deal if she’s discovered.

But Fang Yuemei is different. As an unmarried girl, it might be inappropriate for her to meet a man outside her family.

So she stopped Fang Yuemei and said, "How about I go with you to find Miss Xie?"

Fang Yuemei noticed her abnormality, pushed her hand away and looked into the house, jokingly saying: "Tell me the truth, what treasure is hidden in the house——"

Her words stopped abruptly when Yuan Qing opened the door.

She looked at the man at the door, then at Fu Liu who looked embarrassed, and after a long while she finally said, "Fu Liu, you are so bold."

There was no contempt in her words, she was simply describing Fu Liu's behavior.

Yuan Qing closed the wooden door, walked up to them calmly, and said, "Miss Fang, long time no see."

Fang Yuemei: "Why are you here?"

Now it was Fu Liu's turn to be dumbfounded, "You... know each other?"

Yuan Qing smiled and nodded, "I met Miss Fang once before in Jiangzhou."

Fang Yuemei: "...Oh, yes, we met in Jiangzhou."

That was a close call. I almost said that we met in Beijing.

When she first came to the capital, she went to see Lord Gong to get rid of the Yin-Yang Gu in her body. This matter was top secret and must not be known to outsiders.

Apart from this, there is only Jiangzhou.

Fu Liu took the bamboo basket from the maid's arm and said, "I have been in great trouble, and I have received your kindness. You have pitied me as a lonely person with nowhere to go, so you asked me to live here."

Fang Yuemei's eyebrows curved, "I see."

It seems that Gong Bin is really a person worthy of reliance and trust, just as his father said.

Otherwise, he would not have taken in a useless and notorious woman, which shows that he treats people sincerely and never judges others by their interests or status.

In this way, she felt relieved.

If Fu Liu follows such a person, even if she cannot return to the past, she can spend the rest of her life in peace.

Yuan Qing suddenly asked, "Where can I buy medicine for injuries nearby?"

Fang Yuemei was stunned for a moment, "How much do you want?"

"Not too much." Yuan Qing pointed to the house, "A friend of mine was slightly injured and needs timely treatment."

"I have some there." Fang Yuemei said, "Come with me to get them."

"Okay, thank you." Yuan Qing turned around and told Fu Liu, "I'll ask you to take care of the one in the room first."

Fu Liu nodded, "Don't worry, sir."

Fang Yuemei lived in an abandoned Taoist temple not far from Guiyuan Temple.

Although no one lives there anymore, there are people coming to clean the temple from time to time, so it doesn't seem deserted.

Fang Shuo and the temple master were old friends, so he entrusted his daughter to her and asked her to help take care of her.

In front of the Taoist temple is the road that leads directly to Guiyuan Temple.

While waiting, a carriage moved slowly. When passing by the Taoist temple, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing Shang Zhe's extremely annoying face.

He only glanced out and then drew the curtain again.

Although it was only a few seconds, Yuan Qing could see that Shang Zhe was different today than usual.

After entering the capital, he wore dark cloth and tried to be as low-key as possible. If his identity was not mentioned, no one would have guessed that he was the son of the prefect.

But now, he was wearing a fitted light blue robe, a jade crown on his head, and a headband of the same color hanging behind him, making him look even more handsome and elegant.

Coming to Guiyuan Temple like a peacock spreading its feathers, is it to attract love?

Yuan Qing looked forward and saw high walls between the temples. The style of the walls was different from that of other houses in the temple, which made it look more mysterious.

Fang Yuemei took out a large basket of medicines and said, "I don't know what kind of injury your friend has suffered, so I picked out some commonly used ones for you. If they don't work, I'll think of another way."

Yuan Qing picked up one of the bottles and took a look. They were basically ointments for treating external injuries.

Healing the wound is effective, but there is still poison in Jiang Qisheng's body, so these alone are not enough.

"To be honest, we escaped from the hunting grounds. Lord Jiang's injuries are not ordinary, and I'm afraid that ordinary medicines will not have much effect."

Fang Yuemei was surprised. "Do you need me to help you get a doctor down the mountain?"

"I'll do it myself." Yuan Qing pointed to the high wall in front, "What is that place?"

Fang Yuemei looked over and said, "That's where Old Madam Jiang lives. Third Miss Xie has been eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures with her for many years."

When he was about to leave, he found another person coming outside the temple. He was accompanied by many servants and it was obvious that he was of high status.

Fang Yuemei explained: "That should be Princess Le Yao."

Wen Yao?

What is she doing here?

Yuan Qing hurriedly said goodbye to Fang Yuemei and followed Wen Yao's carriage to Guiyuan Temple to investigate the situation.

Wen Yao did not enter the temple. She waited outside for a long time. When she saw Shang Zhe coming out, she happily got out of the car, holding her skirt.

Shang Zhe had a moment of impatience between his brows, but he still stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Princess."

Wen Yao immediately returned the greeting, "Mr. Shang, what a coincidence, we meet again."

Shang Zhe could probably guess what Wen Yao was thinking of him.

But he now has great ambitions. If he becomes a royal consort, he will no longer be able to hold real power in the future, and then everything he has paid for will become meaningless.

Shang Zhe suppressed his irritability and distanced himself from Wen Yao. "Since Your Highness Princess is here to worship Buddha, please go in quickly. I will not bother you any more. Goodbye."

Wen Yao pursed her lips and clutched her dress tightly, trying not to show her emotions.

She tried her best to hold back, tilted her neck slightly, and said in a chuckle, "Let's go in."

The maids around her were already used to this and hurriedly bent over to support the princess.

After Shang Zhe left, Yuan Qing came out from the corner and looked at Wen Yao's disappearing back thoughtfully.

When we returned to the cabin, Jiang Qisheng had already woken up.

He picked some ointment and applied it himself, and asked, "Why did you walk so long?"

"I saw an unexpected show on the way." Yuan Qing put away the remaining medicine bottles, "When you feel better, I will go with you to thank Miss Fang."

There was a full basket of medicine. Fang Yuemei probably brought all the medicine from her room to her.

No matter what, you should return the gift in the future.

After Jiang Qisheng heard Fu Liu tell him what happened this morning, he nodded and said, "We should go and thank them."

Thinking about the voice he heard in his sleep, he suddenly asked, "Do you know that woman?"

Yuan Qing was puzzled, "Which one?"

"The one who came today."

"Oh, you mean Fang Yuemei." Yuan Qing suddenly realized, "She is the youngest daughter of Fang Shuo, the governor of Jiangzhou. She is a good person, but her fate is a bit strange."

Jiang Qisheng's heart moved, and he continued to ask: "What do you mean?"

"I don't know the details, but I heard that she had a twin sister who disappeared for many years and died within a few years after she came back. After Miss Fang died, she also became thinner and thinner. She saw many doctors, but to no avail. Perhaps Lord Fang thought that there were many famous doctors in the capital who might be able to cure his daughter's illness, so he sent her to the capital."
