Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

The queen's eyes were red with worry: "How could it be so serious? Manfu, call the imperial physician quickly!"

"aunt!"

Gu Qianhan called out to him in a friendly manner in a hurry: "No need to call the imperial physician. My leg looks scary, but it's actually nothing serious. It will be healed in two days. It's just a minor skin injury. Don't make a fuss."

"How can this be okay?!"

"Aunt, I'm really fine. All the thunder and rain are grace from the Lord."

With just this one sentence, the queen understood what her nephew was worried about. He didn't allow the imperial physician to be called because he was afraid that it would cause more dissatisfaction from the emperor, dissatisfaction with her and the Gu family.

Even this punishment of Gu Qianhan might not be an excuse to hit the Gu family and her as the queen. The sufferings that Gu Qianhan endured were suffered for her and the Gu family.

The queen tried hard to hold back her tears and anger, and said to drive them away: "Princess Ning and Princess Shizi, please go back first. I don't have time to entertain you here."

Princess Ning was also very tactful. She immediately took Shen Wantang and left.

After leaving Kunning Palace, Princess Ning was still sighing, "Second Young Master's legs are really scary. No wonder the Queen feels sorry for him. Even I feel sorry for him. After returning home, you should send some blood-activating ointment and some rare medicinal herbs to the Gu family. This matter was caused by our family after all, so we should make a full apology."

She asked Mo Ji and the guards in charge of patrolling the mansion. Gu Qianhan stayed for a short time that night and then left, so she knew better than anyone that Gu Qianhan was wronged and had never touched Chu Yanluo.

But her brainless son was convinced that it was Gu Qianhan who bullied Chu Yanluo. Not only did he beat her up, he also made the whole thing known to everyone, causing Gu Qianhan to lose his marriage and be punished by the emperor to kneel for a night.

Even if Gu Qianhan could swallow this, the Queen and the Gu family couldn't. Princess Ning didn't want to create such a big enemy for the palace, so she lowered her posture so much.

After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Shen Wantang took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve pocket and said, "Mother, I have a bottle of blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine here. This is a recipe passed down from my maternal grandfather. It is very effective. Do you want to give it to the Queen?"

Princess Ning was stunned: "Is this really useful? The Queen is probably not short of good ointments. If your ointment is not effective, it's better not to give it to her."

Shen Wantang smiled gently: "Don't worry, mother. It is guaranteed to be more effective than all the ointments the Queen has. Didn't you say that the medicine I prescribed for you tasted good? This is the same. It is an exclusive secret recipe that cannot be bought outside."

Princess Ning has been taking medicine for the past month because she has been suffering from headaches and fainting due to being angry with her son. She has seen Shen Wantang's acupuncture skills and found them to be quite amazing. She has also taken the medicine Shen Wantang prescribed for her and the effect of calming the mind and relieving the qi is better than the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician.

Therefore, she still trusts Shen Wantang very much.

She immediately pulled Shen Wantang back to Kunning Palace and asked Shen Wantang to hand over the ointment.

Seeing that the Queen did not take it seriously, Princess Ning deliberately said, "Your Majesty, you may not know that my maternal grandfather was a doctor and had many exclusive secret recipes. The medicine I take on a daily basis was prescribed by her and is very effective. Please make sure to let the Second Young Master try this ointment, it will definitely relieve the Second Young Master's pain."

The Queen looked up in surprise and looked at the quiet Shen Wantang: "Are you also proficient in medicine?"

Shen Wantang answered in a conventional manner: "Your Highness, I just read a few more medical books and learned a few uncommon folk remedies."

The Queen nodded and waved them off.

But after they left, the queen asked the nanny to get her ointment and said, "Apply it to the second young master and rub it all over the bruises."

After she said that, she was about to throw away Shen Wantang's ointment.

Gu Qianhan stopped her and said, "Aunt, since Princess Ning said this ointment is useful, why not give it a try?"

"Do you want to use it?"

"You can give it a try."

"Who knows what's in here? What if this so-called folk remedy has problems?"

"Then you can try one leg first, and use your aunt's ointment on the other leg. By comparing the two, you will know the effect."

The queen was persuaded by him and handed the ointment to the maid: "Then try it. She wouldn't dare to harm my nephew!"

Two different ointments were quickly applied to Gu Qianhan's knees. Under the nanny's experienced massage, the medicinal effects gradually took effect.

The queen looked at her nephew's leg in amazement, and saw that the swelling and bruises on it had mostly faded away. "Is this the ointment given to you by the Crown Prince's Consort?"

The nanny was delighted: "Yes, Queen, this ointment is really effective! The swelling on the second young master's knee has almost subsided!"

The queen was a little bit unbelievable: "Qianhan, do you feel any discomfort?"

"Aunt, I don't feel any discomfort. Instead, I feel warm and comfortable. The tingling in my legs is gone. This ointment is really effective."

After hearing this, the queen felt relieved.

After watching his other leg being treated with the ointment given by Shen Wantang and the swelling and bruises gone, she said, "Song Yingzhen's son is not very good, but she is very picky about choosing a daughter-in-law. This time she really picked a good one! That girl actually has such a secret recipe. It seems that the rumor that she cured Song Yingzhen's headache and fainting problem is true."

Gu Qianhan didn't say anything. He held the porcelain bottle given by Shen Wantang in his hand and thought of his previous life again.

He knew that Shen Wantang was well versed in medicine. She knew all kinds of poisons and antidotes. She knew acupuncture and first aid. Not only that, she could also perform autopsies, which was extremely rare among women.

All of Liao Youhe's political achievements were earned by Shen Wantang. He himself only played a role in image. It was Shen Wantang who really investigated and solved cases for him and dealt with all the messes for him.

She disguised herself as a man and followed Liao Youhe, serving as his aide, giving him advice and arranging his troops for him.

Over the past ten years, Liao Youhe's career has been very successful. He has risen smoothly from a small county magistrate to the powerful Minister of the Dali Temple.

Although Shen Wantang disguised her face and even her voice and tone, he still saw through her daughter's identity at a glance.

He prided himself on his intelligence and looked down on everyone. It was not until he met her that he realized there are always people better than you.

She was extremely intelligent, but never showed off. She would not be complacent even after solving major and strange cases. She attributed all the credit to her husband Liao Youhe, and she herself became the "Mrs. Liao" envied by everyone in the capital.

Many of the techniques for solving crimes and performing autopsies that he later learned were actually learned secretly from her.

But Gu Qianhan didn't expect that she had already been so capable so early. She could make ointments to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and could cure headaches and fainting that even the imperial doctors could not cure.

An inappropriate thought suddenly popped up in his mind - it was a pity that she married Xiao Qingyuan.
