Chapter 297 Visit of Doctor Wen.

   It wasn't until several days later, when Qin Yan came back from the palace, that Shen Mingjiao learned about the follow-up.

  After investigation by the prince, Dali Siqing and others, it was finally found out that these assassins were the remnants of a southwestern tribe ordered to be wiped out by Jing Hedi a few years ago. As for when the other party was captured, based on the subsequent interrogation, the other party insisted that they were the former prince's former department, which seemed to be easy to understand.

  In order to discredit the reputation of Jing and Di.

  Cui Lingling was obviously a little disappointed: "This is the end, I thought it was the trick of that princess Xiyue?"

  Qin Yan looked at her helplessly: "You are only afraid that the world will not be chaotic!"

  Shen Mingjiao shook her head: "Regardless of whether it was related to her or not, at least at the time, she definitely didn't know about it,"

  She asked Qin Yan: "What did your Majesty say?"

   "When Lord Chen came to report, I happened to be playing chess with His Majesty. After listening to it, His Majesty didn't say anything, but I think His Majesty should know something?"

  Shen Mingjiao asked the crux of the matter: "Young master thinks that what the leading assassin yelled at that time was really just to slander His Majesty's reputation in front of the world?"

  Qin Yan glanced at Shen Mingjiao appreciatively: "My concubine thinks clearly, if Shuo Er hadn't appeared, the other party's words would have the effect of damaging His Majesty's reputation.

  But now that Shuo Er is not only back, but also living in the palace, His Majesty seems to like her quite a lot. Outsiders don't know the true identity of Shuo Er, and they will only think that His Majesty loves the house because he values ​​King Su.

  But if the people behind it know that Shuo'er is the heir of the former prince, then they can say this. Slandering His Majesty's reputation is secondary, the main purpose may be to provoke the relationship between His Majesty, Shuo'er and even King Su. "

  Cui Lingling held her chin and asked: "According to what you said, the person behind the scenes has enmity with your Su Palace?"

  Shen Mingjiao nimblely walked the needle: "Who knows? It should still be aimed at His Majesty, Su Wangfu is just incidental."

   Seeing that there was nothing to discuss for the time being, Cui Lingling thought of something, slapped his forehead angrily and said: "After talking for a long time, I forgot the business.

  Didn’t you ask me to inquire about that divine doctor Wen last time? It was found that other people were in Jiangbei before, but their whereabouts have been uncertain. Today, the subordinates came to report that the genius doctor Wen came to the capital and now lives in the north of the city. "

  Shen Mingjiao raised her head, apparently the news surprised her quite a bit, she put down her embroidery, and said impatiently: "Okay, I'll come to visit later."

  …

  But before she came to the door, after noon, the porter came over and said that a doctor surnamed Wen asked to see him.

  Shen Mingjiao hurriedly stood up from the imperial concubine chair, and asked the young man to invite her to the flower hall for guests.

   A quarter of an hour later, Shen Mingjiao tidied up her appearance and came to the flower hall.

  Wen Heng saw her come in, stood up calmly and saluted.

  Shen Mingjiao waved her hand and ordered someone to serve tea.

  The two sat down, and Wen Heng asked straight to the point: "I heard that the princess has been looking for Caomin? It seems that the princess has already thought about what the Caomin said before."

   What he was talking about was that he had previously proposed that Shen Mingjiao should follow him to learn how to treat heart and brain diseases. Because of her different mood, Shen Mingjiao bluntly refused at that time.

  Shen Mingjiao waved his hand: "Doctor Wen used to be an official, so you don't need to be so polite."

  Wen Heng is as good as others: "I don't know why the princess wants me?"

  Shen Mingjiao put down the teacup: "I have a friend who was deliberately treated poorly by her uncle and aunt's family with ulterior motives since childhood..."

  She briefly described some of the things that Gu Danxue experienced, and finally she asked: "I wonder if there is something wrong with my approach?"

   It has been less than half a month since Gu Danxue was sent to Anqingfang, although judging from the reports of the guards who secretly protected her, Gu Danxue's condition seems to be getting better day by day. But she is just a layman after all.

  She was afraid that she would be self-defeating and harm Gu Danxue instead.

  Wen Heng lowered his eyes and thought for a while after listening. "Can the princess take me to meet your friend?"

  …

  Located at the entrance of a street in Xi'an Qingfang, there is an inconspicuous cold vegetable stand. The reason for saying this is because there are no fewer than five similar stalls on this street.

  The casinos and brothels are entrenched here, and you can often see burly men with tattoos and fierce eyes when coming and going, or playboys with flamboyant brows and eyes in gorgeous clothes. It's a bustling and chaotic place.

   Therefore, there are a lot of stalls and hawkers on this street.

  At this time, in front of the small stall, Gu Danxue was skillfully cutting cucumbers, wearing a headscarf. Aunt Hu next to her was mixing pig's head meat and selling it with a loud voice.

  The six-year-old girl, Hua Hua, was sitting quietly on the ponytail, looking around boredly with her big eyes open.

  Gu Danxue glanced at her, saw her pitiful look, couldn't help but broke off a cucumber and handed it over. "Eat it!"

  Huahua took it happily, said "Thank you, ma'am" sweetly, and gnawed on the section of cucumber.

  Aunt Hu gave her daughter an angry look: "Don't spoil her, this girl just can't sit still, she doesn't look like a girl all day long."

   Huahua stuck out her tongue: "Mother, you are just too careful, Huzi and the others are running around, and they didn't shoot Huazi at all."

  Aunt Hu snorted: "How can you be like them? Huzi and the others are boys, and Huazi likes to attack girls the most. It's not like you don't know the situation of those girls in Yingchun Building!"

  Yingchunlou is the brothel opposite their house.

  Huahua shut her mouth tactfully and didn't dare to say more. The next moment, she covered her stomach and frowned: "Mom, I'm going to make it easier."

  Aunt Hu thought she was making another excuse to go out and have fun, so she frowned.

  Gu Danxue hurriedly said: "I don't think she's pretending, why don't you take him, sister-in-law, and I'll help you watch here."

  She knew that a child disappeared in the workshop a few days ago, and it was said that she had met Pai Huazi, so Aunt Hu did not let Huahua go out and run around in the past two days.

  Aunt Hu rubbed her hands on the apron, and looked at her with some hesitation: "Can you do it?"

  Gu Danxue was also a little timid, but when she looked at Huahua who was frowning, she nodded bravely: "Sister-in-law, go!"

  After the two left, Gu Danxue stood a little at a loss for a while, then unconsciously picked up a rag, and wiped the edge of the stall little by little.

   After seeing each other for a long time, but no guests came, Gu Danxue slowly dropped his breath.

  But at this moment, a woman came with a basket. Standing in front of the stall, staring at the marinated pork head meat in the basin, and turned over it with chopsticks.

  Gu Danxue clenched her fists nervously, but still mustered up the courage to raise her head, imitating Aunt Hu's usual tone and asked:

   "...New braised pork head meat, would you like some, auntie?"

  The woman flipped through the chopsticks critically, squinting and asking, "How do you sell it?"

  Gu Danxue stared at her rude action, pursed her lips, and said, "Fifteen coins a catty."

  The woman raised her eyebrows, showing that she was a bit aggressive and not to be trifled with. She pointed to the pot of pork head meat and shouted loudly:

   "What! Fifteen coins? I said sister, you are not open to business! I see that your meat is clearly not sold out the next day, and it may be smelly."

  The woman had a very loud voice. After she yelled this, several vendors around her looked over curiously and gloatingly.

  Gu Danxue is most afraid of this kind of mean woman, which makes her instinctively think of Mrs. Gu. Under such public gaze again, her face flushed unconsciously. But still gritted his teeth and said: "No, it has no taste, this meat is freshly made today."

  Although the voice is small, the tone is firm.

  The woman curled her lips, and said in a reluctant tone: "Okay, seeing that it's not easy for you to start a business. Thirteen coins are a catty. If I want two catties, I'll take this piece of fat."

   After finishing speaking, he reached for the knife on the shelf beside him.

  Gu Danxue quickly grasped the handle of the knife, lowered her eyes and said:

   "Fifteen essays, no less."

  The woman stared, "You girl, do you know how to do business? On this street, everyone else sells it for thirteen cents. How dare you sell it more expensive than others if your meat is spoiled!"

   An old lady selling rice cakes on the side also chimed in, fearing that the world would not be chaotic:

   "Yes! Thirteen essays are quite a lot, Mrs. Gu, what are you hesitating about? It's better than throwing it in your own hands and only feeding it to pigs in the end!"
