Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Shen Wantang smiled and shook his head: "My father-in-law's cough was almost cured. I just prescribed a prescription to eliminate the last part of his disease."

"As for you... I've also read the prescription the imperial physician gave you. It's actually suitable for your condition, but the imperial physician prefers to be more cautious with the medication. Unfortunately, your illness this time came on so violently and suddenly that you are in extra pain and your recovery is slow."

"I doubled the dosage of the prescription I gave you, and added some other things. You have to take it four times a day, which is already considered a strong medicine. When your cough gets better, stop drinking it. Remember?"

Gu Qianning looked relaxed: "Remember, Divine Doctor Shen!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Gu Qianning thought it was her maid coming back, but after waiting for a while, she saw that the person who came in was her second brother!

The relief on her face disappeared in an instant: "Second brother, why are you here? Didn't you go out? Why are you back?"

Gu Qianhan said calmly: "Aren't you sick? I came to see you."

Gu Qianning almost rolled her eyes, but her upbringing did not allow her to do so. She had been sick for several days and her second brother had not come to see her. But today, as soon as Shen Wantang arrived, he came!

Who was he coming to see? Didn't she know?

Shen Wantang stood up and greeted Gu Qianhan: "Second Young Master."

Originally she was sitting sideways and Gu Qianhan didn't see the wound on her face. When she stood up, her whole face was exposed, and the red mark on her cheek was clearly visible, even a little eye-catching.

Gu Qianhan's eyes turned cold: "What happened to your face? Who hurt you?"

"It's just an accidental scratch, it's just a minor injury, it's nothing serious."

After Shen Wantang finished speaking, he sat back down next to Gu Qianning and continued to give her acupuncture.

Gu Qianning looked at her second brother's gloomy face and felt that her chest seemed to start to hurt again, and her head also started to hurt.

She was afraid that her second brother would do something out of line again, so she said quickly, "Second brother, I asked Atang when she came, and she said she was hurt by the broken porcelain pieces, and no one beat her! Um... Mother seems to have something to ask you, you should leave now!"

How could Gu Qianhan possibly believe such a poor excuse to send him away?

He did not leave, but he did not act impulsively as Gu Qianning worried.

He stood steadily by the window, looking at Shen Wantang without hesitation: "Thank you, Princess, for coming to give my sister acupuncture. I, as a brother, am grateful that you take such good care of An Ning. If Princess, you need any help, just let me know."

His voice was as indifferent as usual, and there was no ambiguity in his tone, as if he was just a brother who felt sorry for his sister and was grateful for the doctor's treatment.

However, Gu Qianning knew her second brother. He never boasted and never made promises casually. If he made a promise, he would definitely fulfill his promise throughout his life.

What he just said was, "If Shen Wantang needs any help from me," he can ask. Even if Shen Wantang asked him to kill Xiao Qingyuan, he would agree.

Gu Qianning looked at Shen Wantang nervously, afraid that she would be angry if she saw her brother's feelings for her, but also afraid that she would not be able to see her brother's feelings for her and all her brother's love would be wasted. No one could understand her contradiction.

However, Shen Wantang just turned around and smiled gently at Gu Qianhan: "Second Master, there is no need to be so polite. An Ning is your sister, but she is also my only friend. She is sick and I came to see her. It is a trivial matter."

"It just so happens that I know a little bit about medicine. I can give her a few injections to relieve her pain a little and let her spend the New Year in peace and health. Then I will feel relieved."

"Look, after just a few moments of acupuncture, doesn't her complexion look much better?"

The sunlight shines through the luxurious glazed windows onto Shen Wantang's face, reflecting a dazzling light.

Her beautiful voice penetrated the sunlight and went straight into Gu Qianhan's heart.

He looked at Shen Wantang's face and the conspicuous scar. It took a lot of willpower to control himself from touching her.

He heard Shen Wantang asking him to look at his sister's face, but he still stared at her motionlessly - what was so good about Gu Qianning's face? He had been looking at it for more than ten years.

"Second brother!"

Gu Qianning felt that her second brother was looking at Shen Wantang too much, so she quickly called him to remind him to be careful.

But she was too excited and started coughing violently after shouting "Second Brother".

She coughed so violently that she even coughed up blood.

Gu Qianhan still loved his sister. Hearing that his sister's cough was not right, he finally turned his gaze away from Shen Wantang's face and looked at Gu Qianning: "Why are you coughing like this? Didn't you ask the imperial physician to take a look?"

Gu Qianning wanted to say something to him, but she was coughing so hard that she couldn't speak, so she could only glare at him.

Seeing that she was about to curse, Shen Wantang suppressed her laughter and explained to Gu Qianhan on her behalf: "A Ning invited the imperial physician, but the prescription he prescribed was a little too mild, so it failed to curb the condition, and instead made her lung heat worse."

She thought Gu Qianhan would be like Gu Qianning, and think those imperial doctors were quacks, but unexpectedly, Gu Qianhan said: "The people in the Imperial Hospital are carefully selected. They can cure your illness."

Gu Qianning: "I...cough cough cough..."

"The prescription is mild, so the effect will be slow. Just drink it for a few more days, and you will get better. Otherwise, find another imperial physician to see you. Why bother to disturb the Crown Prince's wife? When did you become so squeamish?"

Gu Qianning: "You...cough cough cough..."

"She still has a wound on her face, but she braved the severe cold to come and treat you. What if you pass your illness on to her? Did you write to her again? Don't write to her anymore!"

Gu Qianning: "Cough cough cough..."

So angry!

Gu Qianning couldn't help but pound the bed with her fist!

This cough made her unable to curse at anyone, she was going crazy!

But the more anxious she became, the more she coughed. She could still glare at Gu Qianhan just now, but this time she coughed so hard that she couldn't even glare at him.

She couldn't glare at Gu Qianhan, so Shen Wantang glared for her: "Say less."

Gu Qianhan: "Oh, okay."

Did she glare at him?

Taught him a lesson?

The corners of Gu Qianhan's lips rose slightly.

The maid came in with a bowl of medicine: "Miss, the medicine is ready!"

Gu Qianhan's heart moved, and he stopped the maid: "Give me the medicine, I'll feed it to An Ning."

The maid was so shocked that she almost dropped the bowl: "Ah?!"

What happened to the Second Young Master today? Was he possessed by a ghost? He actually took the initiative to take care of others? No, if he knows how to take care of people, he should feed her medicine and stop choking the young lady!

Gu Qianning widened her eyes in horror: "I won't... cough cough cough! Go away... cough cough cough!"

Gu Qianhan had already taken the medicine bowl and walked to the bedside: "A Ning, drink the medicine."

Gu Qianning was about to cough up her lungs. She looked at Shen Wantang for help: "Cough cough cough!"

Shen Wantang had no choice but to stop Gu Qianhan: "Second Young Master, let me do it!"
