Receiving the reward from Du Dequan's hands, Chu Qinghuan actually did not feel happy at all, but on her face, she still wrote the words, "Thank you, Master, for your kindness."

"This subject's daughter kowtows to thank the emperor for his kindness. I'll have to trouble Head Manager Du."

By the side, Chu Jinfu had an honorable appearance. When Chu Jinfu saw that Chu Qinghuan actually did not give Du Dequan a big boss red packet, she instantly stepped forward, but unexpectedly, Chu Qinghuan stopped her. What kind of person is Du Dequan, she had already taken the two's actions into consideration, and just as she was about to turn around and leave, she unexpectedly heard Chu Qinghuan say, "Qinghuan has once heard of a sea prescription that specializes in treating bone pain, I heard that it was extremely effective."

Hearing that, Du Dequan's face immediately lit up, "Oh, Second Miss is truly knowledgeable, I wonder if Second Miss can have the time to follow Old Slave around?"

In Du Dequan's early years, he had once been punished by the Xiao Wen Emperor when he followed behind Emperor Xuanwu, and because he knelt outside for two days and two nights, his knee was injured, and he became Emperor Xuanwu's trusted aide. It was just that his health was not too good, so Emperor Xuanwu simply gave him a casual job. But who would have thought that the meticulously chosen general director Liu Xilai, whom Du Dequan had wholeheartedly and wholeheartedly chosen, was actually a proud and arrogant person.

Not only did he forget his old kindness in promoting him, he was also reputed to be a man who lived forever. Furthermore, he had gained Emperor Xuanwu's trust, causing General Manager Du to be unable to speak of his pain, only when Ji Fengye was blessed did Liu Xi lose his life in front of Ji Fengye. With the position of imperial general vacant, Du Dequan took the initiative to take it on once again. It was just that the old ailments at his knees kept on acting up, and even the doctors at the palace had seen a few, and they were all unable to treat him.

Right now, Huangfu Yunqian wanted to pinch Chu Qinghuan, but unexpectedly, sshe had lost face. In order to pacify the court officials and the woman of destiny, Emperor Xuanwu had instructed Du Dequan to personally pass on the decree as a reward. Du Dequan naturally listened to him, but he didn't expect that the Chu Family Second Miss in front of him, who had not reached his age yet, would actually say such words.

He had lived to this age, but it was still not enough. He only wanted to fight to the death. After all, if she was cured, he definitely wouldn't mistreat her. If he wasn't able to treat her well, then it would be easy for him to apply eye medicine on her.

Chu Qinghuan knew about Du Dequan's background. Back then, for Huangfu Shu's sake, she had done a lot of homework, and adding her own experiences, she did not expect to actually have the chance to get close to Du Dequan today.

Although Du Dequan had not taken up any duties for the past twenty years, when had Emperor Xuanwu ever missed out on his rewards? An item of gold and silver was just a icing on the cake. It was just like chicken ribs; this recipe of his was the key to providing timely assistance.

Chu Jinfu was a little worried, but after hearing Chu Qinghuan's comforting smile, she relaxed. If her Second Elder Sister didn't have complete confidence, how would she … This kind of ruckus? Thinking that her concern for him caused her to be confused, after coming to this realization, Chu Jinfu immediately smiled, and was about to speak with Liu Dantong, but unexpectedly, Liu Dantong's eyes were filled with emotions, and landed in the male guest's seats, not even seeing her near.

Du Dequan did not leave Chu Qinghuan too far, he casually found a place to sit down, and behind him, the Young Eunuch had long ago nimbly brought out a brush and ink.

Chu Qinghuan naturally knew about the power and influence of this great general in front of him, but she wasn't surprised at all. She would not provoke someone that even Ji Fengye would not touch, "General Manager, take this medicine every other day for three months. It's just that most of the ingredients on the recipe are simple, but only the Snow Lotus is a little hard to find. It's fine if you replace it with Lonicera japonica, Forsythia, and Coptis chinensis, but the effects will be a bit worse. "

Du Dequan had not eaten these medicinal herbs for nothing these past few years. Although there were some doubts in his heart as he looked at the medicinal herbs on the prescription, they still moved him a little because of one of Chu Qinghuan's snow lotuses.

"The snow lotuses were produced by the West Liang, and in the past few years, six of them were paid as tribute. Two were given to the empress dowager, one was given to the empress, and one was given to Imperial Concubine Fu. The emperor used one when he was sick last year, and the last one was given to eight thousand years old."

Chu Qinghuan naturally knew where this snow lotus had gone to. The empress and Imperial Concubine Shu's sticks had all been drugged. The empress dowager was far away in Spirit Mountain, so her last hope lay with Ji Fengye. However, she could only pretend that she didn't know.

"Is that so? "Qing Huan thought that there would still be a lot more left in the Grand Hospital, so she might as well think of another way and see if she can find a better replacement."

Seeing Chu Qinghuan's somewhat embarrassed face, Du Dequan couldn't help but laugh, "Second Miss doesn't need to care about this, in any case, West Liang will have to pay respects again, so maybe next year, there will be a few more snow lotuses."

Chu Qinghuan could not help but laugh, maybe. However, she remembered that in her previous life, at the end of the year, when West Liang had paid tribute, it was at the border between the two countries that Mount Ping Yun suffered an avalanche. It was extremely difficult for the emissaries to escape from death, and they had lost seventy to eighty percent of their tribute.

Emperor Xuanwu was furious after hearing the news, he immediately sent Third Prince Huangfu Shu to surround and kill the horse bandits, and then, indeed, Huangfu Shu did not disappoint and win the battle, it was just that the tribute was gone without a trace.

The reason why Chu Qinghuan was so clear about it was because Huangfu Shu had arranged the avalanche personally, and the mounted bandit was also the one who did it. Receiving the tribute, getting the Holy Pet, and gaining the military power, Huangfu Shu could be said to be unsatisfied, killing three birds with one stone.

"In that case, Qing Huan can only bear with it. I'm afraid that you'll have to wait. Qing Huan will take her leave first."

Du Dequan did not keep him, he only told his Young Eunuch s to send Chu Qinghuan back, and he went back to the Acupoint Charging Hall to report back. When he entered, he coincidentally met a Palace Maid who was dressed up like a prince, whose clothes were in a mess.

Inside the study room, Emperor Xuanwu's bright yellow dragon robe seemed to be a little messy, as he leaned on the dragon throne, thinking about something.

"In reply to His Majesty, Empress, Imperial Concubine, Concubine Xian, and Imperial Concubine Su all gave Second Miss Chu a gift. Empress is an old pit ice jade, Imperial Concubine is a golden jade phoenix tail hairpin and earring.

Hearing that, Emperor Xuanwu laughed coldly, "You sure are considerate."

After Du Dequan heard this, he did not say anything. None of the four gifts were out of line, but each of them was extremely eye-catching. Under such a pampered state, the calamity was not far away!

"Your Second Elder Sister can be considered to be in the limelight this time, but I'm afraid that getting this much love is not a good thing. It's best for you to keep a low profile."

Liu Dantong was talking with Chu Jinfu, when she saw Chu Qinghuan slowly walking back, with a leisurely look on her face, as if she was not thinking about anything.

Chu Jinfu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "No one has good intentions, it's just that my Second Elder Sister is smart, if you want to frame her, you have to see if your methods are enough!"

Wasn't her famous Big Sis digging holes for the Second Elder Sister again and again? But wasn't she the one who jumped in at the end? To harm others will always harm oneself, so what about the people in the palace? In the end, however, it was only karmic retribution.

Hearing this, Liu Dantong was not angry, this last gift from the third concubine seemed to be filled with kindness, but she was clear, this was yet another contest, and Chu Qinghuan was caught in it, it was the most difficult. Fortunately, she was a smart person and knew what to do.

"Speaking of which, Sister Liu, your rewards aren't as generous as my Second Elder Sister's. Why aren't you talking about it like that group of people?"

Liu Dantong couldn't help but look over when she heard it, seemingly still discussing the merits of their rewards. She laughed disdainfully, "How would they know about the benefits here?"

What Emperor Xuanwu had bestowed her was only a book of poems; ordinary people would think that it was a reward for her, a "talented girl", but there were also a few people who knew that this book was a solo book by Gu Ting.

"Besides, if I chew the root of my tongue, then it's still me?"

Chu Jinfu could not help but laugh when she heard this, it was true, if Liu Dantong and the other young ladies in the capital talked about clothes and accessories all day long, as well as things that were short for the Western family, how would she be able to befriend her?

"As expected of the Miss Liu. I want to deal with him for a long time. I'd rather do it."

Hearing this, Liu Dantong couldn't help but lightly nod her head, but her face didn't have the slightest bit of color. Chu Jinfu could not help but sigh from the bottom of her heart, was it really so?

Amongst them, there was the name of Liu Dantong. It was said that when Liu Dantong heard about this matter, she actually threw that banana, Night Snow Painting, and the plum blossom aside. Chu Jinfu felt the atmosphere become awkward, but just as she was about to change the subject, she heard a clear voice laughing: "What is Young Master Shen talking about, why are you so happy?"

Hearing that, she looked over, and did not know when Huangfu Wushuang had actually come here, but she smiled sweetly.

Because of what Chu Qinghuan had said earlier, Shen Qian suddenly had the intention of retreating. He immediately cupped his hands and smiled: "It's nothing, I just want to discuss some poems with Miss Liu."

Huangfu Wushuang's face immediately changed! If it wasn't for the fact that she was trying to please Shen Qian, she wouldn't even bother to read the poems of a prostitute. However, when she heard these words, she felt that Shen Qian was just shaming her, and immediately got angry.

However, even though she was a noble daughter of the royal family, her expression did not change in the slightest.

"The Miss Liu is indeed talented in the art of incantations. No wonder your royal uncle gave you this book of poems, and rewarded you with the Second Miss Chu's Eastern Pearl and the jade ruyi."

These words, were secretly mocking Chu Qinghuan. Of course, she was also saying that Liu Dantong was aloof and did not deserve any great reward. She was clearly separating Liu Dantong and Chu Qinghuan.
