Chapter 316 Everyone has a big idea
The sun was approaching noon, and although April was early summer, the weather was not hot.
But a thin layer of sweat had already seeped out of Chu He's forehead.
Seeing this, Xu Rongrong calmly invited Chu He to have lunch at Zhuxiang Yayuan, but he refused.
Mu Rong knew that if he continued to sit there, his injuries would be exposed.
In order to prevent the smell of blood from attracting Xu Rongrong's attention, he wrapped the wound with several layers of gauze and wore two layers of undershirts. At this time, the sun was rising and the wound was almost soaked with sweat.
So he said goodbye and left on the pretext of returning to the imperial guards to serve.
As soon as he left, Xu Rongrong called Luo Shu and said, "Since Chu He has returned to the capital, the people your brother sent to follow him must have returned as well. Go out of the house and find your brother later and ask him to bring the people who followed him here. I have something to ask you."
Luo Shu exclaimed, "Miss, do you think something is wrong? The people my brother sent to southern Xinjiang were all safe when he sent letters via carrier pigeon..."
Xu Rongrong nodded: "When Chu He was here just now, I faintly smelled a hint of blood. He seemed... injured."
"Lord Chu is injured?" Luo Shu was shocked. "Then why didn't you just ask him directly?"
"You just said that all the letters from Southern Xinjiang were safe. If he was truly injured, where did all this safe news come from? It must be that he was deliberately concealing it. If he was deliberately concealing it, how would he respond if I exposed him directly?"
"Besides, the smell just now was very faint, and I can't be sure if he is really injured. Let's wait and see what news your brother has."
Upon hearing this, Luo Shu quickly responded, "I'll go find him right away."
Meanwhile, Chu He had just walked a short distance from Zhuxiang Yayuan when he was stopped by a strange man: "This subordinate greets Lord Chu."
"Who are you?" Chu He frowned slightly. He didn't remember seeing this person before.
The visitor displayed the badge of the Weiyuan Marquisate. "My name is Zhao Donglin, and I'm affiliated with the Weiyuan Marquisate. Because Master Chu is injured, the Marquis is worried about you, so he specifically ordered me to wait here and take Master Chu to recover."
Seeing that the other party was Mu Rong's man, Chu He sneered: "Mu Rong is worried about my injury? Or is he worried about me sitting in Zhuxiang Yayuan for too long?"
Zhao Donglin said bluntly, "It's true that I'm worried about Master Chu, and it's also true that I ordered my subordinates to take care of Master Chu."
Chu He glanced at him casually: "Mu Rong is really thoughtful. Since you are neither a doctor nor a physician, how are you going to take care of me?"
"Please come with me, sir." Soon, Zhao Donglin and Chu He stopped in front of an inconspicuous wooden door.
The surroundings were silent, and the courtyard behind the wooden door seemed to be equally quiet.
Zhao Donglin knocked on the doorknob twice, and the door creaked open from the inside.
A little boy with a double bun came out to greet him. When he saw Zhao Donglin, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Master Zhao."
"Is the sir here?" Zhao Donglin asked.
"The sir has been waiting for you two adults." The little boy replied.
Zhao Donglin heard this and looked at Chu He behind him and said, "Master Chu, please follow me."
Chu He smiled slightly: "It seems that over the past year, the Marquis's business has spread to every corner of the capital."
"Lord Chu, you are too kind." Zhao Donglin seemed not to understand the deep meaning behind Chu He's words and took Chu He into the courtyard. This courtyard looked quite old and simple from the outside, but it was extremely clean and tidy inside.
The courtyard is composed of four sides. After entering the courtyard and passing through the first hall, you will enter the patio surrounded by houses on all four sides.
There are two rows of racks in the patio, on which cotton cloth, cotton yarn and some medicinal herbs are drying. The midday sun shines directly in from overhead, and the dried herbs emit a faint bitterness.
Fortunately, this place is tightly surrounded by houses on all sides, so the smell of medicinal herbs is difficult to spread out of the courtyard.
Apart from the people in the courtyard, I'm afraid no one would know that there is such a place.
"Is this a pharmacy?" Chu He asked.
Zhao Donglin shook his head. "Lord Chu is serving in the Imperial Guards, and his injury is quite secret. We are worried that it will be inconvenient for you to recover in the Imperial Guards, so the Marquis has vacated this courtyard and let Lord Chu settle down on his own."
Chu He raised his eyebrows: "Then I'll have to have more of you and your Lord."
"I dare not..." Zhao Donglin said, "Master Chu, please come in and sit for a while. I will go and ask the master to heal your injuries."
Chu He had just sat down when Zhao Donglin brought someone over.
"Mr. Shu?!" Chu He was shocked when he saw who it was.
How could the gentleman Zhao Donglin was referring to be Shu Qing?
Isn’t Shu Qing hers!
Why would he accept Mu Rong's assignment? !
"Why are you here?" Chu He asked, "Did the eldest lady send you here?"
Shu Qing sighed almost inaudibly and answered truthfully, "I was asked by the Marquis to come... He said you were injured and you didn't want the county lady to know, so he asked me to heal you."
Chu He frowned: "You are working for the Marquis, does the young lady know?"
"The county lady...knows it." After Shu Qing finished speaking, he saw that Chu He's eyes dimmed a lot as expected.
But the truth was like this, and he couldn't bear to deceive the other party, so he had to quickly grab Chu He's arm and carefully feel his pulse to ease the embarrassment.
Then, he asked Chu He to lift up the clothes around his waist so that he could check the wound.
"Master Chu, you've been injured for two months, right?" Shu Qing frowned. "You've been traveling back and forth across southern Xinjiang with this injury, and yet you've been rushing to the capital day and night?"
"They are just superficial injuries." Chu He put down his clothes.
"Just a superficial wound? The wound on Lord Chu's waist was so deep that the bone was visible. You can see how dangerous it was! Although it was sutured, the technique was extremely unprofessional. It's still bleeding after two months!"
Young people! You just don’t know how to cherish yourselves!
"Mr. Shu, do you have any ideas?" Chu He asked. "It needs to be sutured again." Shu Qing said angrily!
"Then please go ahead, sir." Chu He's face was full of indifference, as if all this was beyond his attention.
Shu Qing sighed again, looking helpless.
Fortunately, everything here is well prepared.
Even the Ma Fei San was ready, so Chu He didn't have to endure it again.
Shu Qing's technique was extremely quick, and within a quarter of an hour, Chu He's wound was healed.
Looking at Chu He lying on the couch in a daze, his originally handsome face had become completely bloodless due to the treatment just now.
Shu Qing warned earnestly, "Although it has been treated now, the injury is still very serious and I haven't taken good care of it. Lord Chu, please take good care of me for the next month. If you don't take care of me any longer, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Shu, I know what I'm doing." What sense of propriety? You all have big ideas!
