The next day, Chu Qingwan asked Wei Zhan to send Liu Chuan to the academy, stared at Ye Chenlun, apologized, and settled the compensation matter according to the written agreement.
In order to prevent Ye Chenlun from retaliating, she ordered Wei Zhan to mobilize two subordinates with strong martial arts skills to protect him secretly.
For five days in a row, no one reported that Liu Chuan was being bullied in the academy, so Chu Qingwan finally felt relieved.
In the past five days, Princess Roujia's face had improved. Chu Qingwan changed her follow-up care prescription and once again asked her to go out more often to get some fresh air.
Roujia said yes, but never took any action.
She is arrogant and prides herself on her beauty. It would be a great insult to her to go out with a face full of scars.
Chu Qingwan fulfilled his duties as a doctor without much persuasion. He got up after completing the task, but he heard Roujia ask: "What is brother Jingyu busy with recently?"
Chu Qingwan shook his head: "I don't know."
Roujia frowned: "Don't you go in and out of Prince Qi's Mansion every day? How could you not know?"
Chu Qingwan said: "I'm just a doctor."
Unless it was related to her, she never asked about Mo Jingyu's affairs.
Roujia looked at her suspiciously, as if he didn't believe her words, and said after a while: "Okay, then you can send a message to brother Jingyu, saying that I miss him and ask him to come and see me."
Chu Qingwan lowered her eyelashes slightly: "I have something to do. The princess sent someone to ask the prince to hurry up."
Roujia refused to give up: "This princess wants you to tell me, do you want to disobey me?"
Chu Qingwan raised his eyes and looked at her: "Okay, I will tell the prince."
Hierarchy is overwhelming. One more thing is worse than one less thing. It can only be controlled by a word.
Back at Tao Ranju, Chu Qingwan thought for a while and decided to bring the message first. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw Zhao Xinyu's carriage parked at the door.
She took two steps forward, and Zhao Xinyu got off the carriage and said with a smile: "Qingwan, I have good news for you."
They have been to the princess's mansion together in the past few days and have spent a lot of time together. They have similar personalities and like-minded interests. Now they are so familiar that they call each other by their first names.
Chu Qingwan welcomed her into the room, ordered Yanran to serve tea, and asked: "What's the good news?"
Zhao Xinyu said: "There is indeed something wrong with the palace maid you asked me to send someone to pay attention to earlier."
Chu Qingwan raised his eyebrows.
Zhao Xinyu continued: "Her name is Qingzhu. She is not a maid brought by the princess from the palace, but a maid given to the princess by the Xu family after the princess left the palace to build a mansion."
Because of her dexterity, Roujia valued her, so she stayed by her side to serve her. This time Roujia was poisoned because she received the instruction from Miss Xu and used the medicine Baoqin had prepared in advance.
Chu Qingwan frowned slightly: "What happened that day was obviously aimed at me, but I have never interacted with Miss Xu's family, let alone grudges. Why did she frame me?"
Zhao Xinyu's expression was subtle: "Is it possible that it's because of the prince?"
Chu Qingwan was puzzled: "How do you say this?"
Zhao Xinyu said: "Before the prince asked to marry Princess Roujia, Miss Xu's family had threatened to marry the prince. She planned several chance encounters for this purpose, but was rejected ruthlessly by the prince."
Later, King Qi asked to marry Princess Roujia. She had made a fuss, but when the matter went nowhere, he listened to his family and continued to communicate with Roujia. After a few years, the relationship between the two became unexpectedly good.
Chu Qingwan's mouth twitched: "It's an unreasonable disaster."
Zhao Xinyu smiled: "The prince and Princess Roujia almost got married, but he has not yet allowed the princess to enter and exit the mansion freely. It is inevitable for you to earn such an honor and make people jealous."
Chu Qingwan sighed helplessly.
Zhao Xinyu took a sip of tea and changed the subject: "However, I heard that Miss Xu has not wanted to marry the prince for a long time. This reason may not be entirely correct."
Chu Qingwan heard something: "Xinyu, is there anything else you haven't told me?"
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Zhao Xinyu put down the teacup, "This Miss Xu family has a very close friend, guess who it is?"
Something suddenly flashed in Chu Qingwan's mind: "Could it be Chu Qingyue?"
