What the Queen Mother said would not disappoint Pei Huan was that the emperor severely punished the Marquis, but she did not mention a word about the dowry of the former Marquis' wife. This also made the people in the capital think that Pei Huan and the Marquis had a big fight because of their conflicts. Fight.
I didn’t expect that the so-called settling accounts was just settling accounts.
In the Hou Mansion, Song Shuwan was playing with the box given by Prince Ning, lowering her eyes to hide the sarcasm in her eyes. After all, face was more important.
At this time, Baicao walked in with a very strange look on his face: "Prince Concubine, Prince Ning has sent a message."
Song Shuwan was startled and her eyes fell on the box in her hand. Before she opened the box, she sent another post. What did Prince Ning want to do?
Baicao noticed her gaze and asked with some curiosity: "Prince Princess, is there anything strange about this box?"
Song Shuwan opened the box and said calmly: "This box is a gift from Prince Ning."
Baicao was slightly startled, and when his eyes dropped, he saw a black object only as long as a knuckle placed in the box.
She exclaimed: "Prince Princess, what's in the box is Yunding Incense."
Yundingxiang!
Song Shuwan tightened her fingers, and shock flashed in her eyes. Although Yunding Incense is called incense, it is actually a strange medicine. It claims that as long as a severed limb is still there, it can be used to regenerate it.
Song Shuwan didn't know whether the medicinal effect of this medicine was as good as the rumors said, but one thing was certain. Yunding Incense was extremely difficult to find and the price was high. Don't look at the one in the box, which is only one knuckle long, but the price is at least Ten thousand taels of gold.
Why did Prince Ning send Yunding Incense to her? Could it be that he wanted to cure Pei Huan?
The problem is that Pei Huan's situation is not consistent with the situation that Yunding Xiang is treating. Otherwise, she would have asked Pei Huan to send people to find him.
Baicao didn't know what Song Shuwan was thinking, and said very happily: "With this Yunding Incense, can the prince's legs be cured?"
Song Shuwan sighed and did not answer Baicao's words. Instead, she closed the lid and handed the Yunding Incense and the box to Baicao: "Send this item and the post back to Prince Ning's Mansion."
Baicao was stunned: "Send it back to Prince Ning's Mansion? But Princess Concubine, this Yunding Incense may be useful to the Crown Prince, wouldn't it mean to send it back like this..."
Song Shuwan shook her head and interrupted Baicao's unfinished words: "The Crown Prince's leg cannot be cured by the Yunding Incense. Besides, you also know the situation between Prince Ning and the Crown Prince. Even if the Yunding Incense can work, do we dare to use it? "
Baicao was silent and took the box after a moment: "I will send the things back now."
At this time, a male voice sounded: "What do you want to give me?"
Song Shuwan turned her head slightly, and when she saw it was Pei Huan, she told him all about Prince Ning's behavior.
When he heard the words Yundingxiang, a dark light flashed in Pei Huan's eyes: "Leave Yundingxiang and send the message back."
Song Shuwan frowned: "To be courteous for nothing is to be considered a traitor or a thief. Prince Ning must have some intentions in his behavior. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to stay."
"Prince Ning can't jump very high as long as I'm here, so just take it easy."
Hearing this, Song Shuwan could only suppress her emotions and signal Baicao to do as Pei Huan said.
After Baicao left, Song Shuwan asked Pei Huan why he came, and Pei Huan asked: "Are you interested in the housekeeper?"
Song Shuwan was stunned for a moment, then shook her head immediately after reacting: "I have no interest in the housekeeper. If the prince has any ideas, please don't take me with you."
Pei Huan knocked on the armrest and made sure Song Shuwan didn't want to, so he didn't mention it again.
The next day, Song Shuwan went to Cunshan Hall.
Song Ren said: "Everything has been sorted out. Has the Crown Princess chosen a time to open the business?"
Song Shuwan pondered and asked, "When do you think it is appropriate for Cunshan Hall to open?"
Song Ren was about to answer when a question suddenly came from the door: "Is the Crown Princess here?"
Both of their eyes fell on the door. The next moment, Song Shuwan stood up and asked, "How come Miss Yue is here?"
The person standing at the door was Yue Hong, who also brought a maid. After hearing Song Shuwan's words, she immediately stepped into the door of Cunshan Hall.
"I've met the Crown Princess. I'm here to see if Cunshan Hall is open. I would like to say congratulations by the way."
Hearing this, Song Shuwan raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm sorry, but the time hasn't been decided yet. Miss Yue, please sit down."
Yue Hong sat down and Song Ren immediately brought two cups of tea over.
"There is no good tea reception here, please forgive me, Miss Yue."
Yue Hong pursed her lips and smiled, holding the tea cup and taking a sip: "The tea is very good."
The two chatted for a while, and then Yue Hong revealed the true reason for her visit.
"The elders in my family are weak and urgently need Millennium Ginseng to supplement the deficiency. Although it is a bit presumptuous, the Crown Princess has many medicinal materials in her hands, so I wanted to ask if you are willing to sell Thousand Years Ginseng?"
Silence fell in the Cunshan Hall. Song Shuwan raised her eyes slightly, looked at the shy Yue Hong opposite, and slowly picked up the tea cup at her hand.
"It stands to reason that if Miss Yue opens her mouth, I will definitely give it away, but..."
She paused and continued under Yue Hong's surprised eyes: "I prepared the thousand-year-old ginseng for the crown prince, and I cannot give it away."
The surprise in Yue Hong's eyes disappeared instantly, and she was still a little unwilling: "Prince Princess, is there really no room for discussion about this ginseng?"
Song Shuwan shook her head and said with absolute certainty: "No."
Yue Hong lowered his eyes and sighed for a long time: "In this case, I can only look elsewhere."
Song Shuwan smiled: "Then I wish Miss Yue that she can get her wish."
After thinking about it, she added: "If Miss Yue doesn't mind, you can also let me see the patient. Maybe there are other ways to make up for the shortcomings?"
Yue Hong twitched the corners of her lips and declined Song Shuwan politely.
After that, neither of them mentioned Millennium Ginseng again, but after Yue Hong left, the smile in Song Shuwan's eyes disappeared.
The elder needs Thousand-Year Ginseng to replenish the deficiency, but does not want her to see the patient. This is different from the behavior of inviting her to Yue Mansion to check the Ping'an pulse for Madam Yue as soon as they meet.
That afternoon, Song Shuwan and Song Ren set a time for the opening of Cunshan Hall - three days later.
Back at the Hou Mansion in the evening, when Song Shuwan was giving Pei Huan acupuncture, the man asked about Cunshan Hall, so she told the time.
Pei Huan leaned on the wheelchair and raised his head slightly. The Adam's apple on his neck was very obvious and slid as he spoke.
"I will go in three days."
Song Shuwan smiled, pulled out the golden needle, put it on the candle and burned it again: "From tomorrow on, the prince's acupuncture will stop. Once the injury on the shoulder is healed, we can continue the treatment."
Hearing this, Pei Huan nodded slightly, then pointed to his eyes and said, "My eyes don't seem to have recovered recently."
Song Shuwan put away the golden needle and then raised her eyes to look at Pei Huan: "Any illness will stop at some time. Your Majesty, don't be impatient. It will be soon."
The three days passed quickly, and the day of opening of Cunshan Hall soon arrived.
In the early morning, the sound of firecrackers broke the silence on Zhuque Street.
