Ming Hui princess only invited Gu Jinzhi to diagnose her illness.

  She didn't know that Zhao Daoyuan had already returned to Yanling Mansion.

  Nor did he invite Mr. Chen.

  Zhao Daoyuan came back and paid a visit as usual; Chen Gongzi didn't know that the princess was ill, so he prepared to send her some freshly hunted wild mountain chicken.

  Gu Jin's mother and daughter came at the invitation.

  Everyone just bumped into each other.

  Chen Gongzi was easy to talk to, but Zhao Daoyuan and Gu Jingzi bumped into each other. Jiang Fuma couldn't help but explain: "...I didn't expect you'd come back, we originally invited Miss Gu to take a look at the princess's illness...the past two days the princess hasn't been feeling well."

  Zhao Daoyuan was taken aback and looked at Gu Jinzhi, then suddenly remembered something and burst out laughing. He asked: "Is this the famous Miss Gu Qi? Although I've just returned to Yanling, I've already heard about your great deeds several times. It's an honor to meet you today!"

  Then his eyes glanced at Gu Jin's face a few times, sizing up her appearance, as if to take a closer look.

  Gu Jingzi knew that he was good at divination, but didn't think much of it. He smiled and replied: "I don't dare to accept such praise. Rumors are usually 90% false, I'm not worthy of Zhao Daozhang's compliments."

  Zhao Daoyuan smiled, but his sharp eyes held a deep meaning.

  Chen Yu also stood smiling beside him.

  The princess was lying in the inner chamber, and also had a minor illness. Jiang Shu-ma kept everyone in the east wing drinking tea, only inviting Gu Jin to enter the inner chamber to see her condition.

  As soon as she saw Gu Jin, Princess Ming Hui's face carried a benevolent smile: "Where did I offend you? You left and never came back, making me miss you terribly."

  Yu invited Gu Jin to sit down.

  Gu Jinzhi didn't seem nervous or afraid, and after listening to the princess's words, he sat down on the embroidered stool in front of her bed. In a soft voice, he said: "I'm originally not good with words, so even if I came, I wouldn't be able to entertain you, but instead disturb your peace; secondly, studying is strictly supervised by my grandfather, and it's hard to have any free time..."

  "What book is he reading?" Princess Minghui asked.

  "All the classics and histories must be recited, also including the Inner Canon, the Difficult Canon, and the Treatise on Cold Damage, all of which must be memorized in their entirety." Gu Jin smiled and said slowly.

  Princess Minghui was slightly surprised and asked: "Do you still want to recite the Classics of History?"

  Gu Jinzhi then told the princess an old saying: "A scholar who studies medicine, a quick knife cuts ham... Without being well-versed in the classics, one cannot grasp the key to medicine, and it is impossible to achieve perfection..."

  Ming Hui princess didn't know this layer, others who studied medicine and Buddhism weren't like that either. Therefore, they greatly praised: "No wonder your family's medical skills are good, it turns out the effort is pure and of high quality!"

  Gu Jinzhi smiled and said some modest words, then continued: "...... The princess's speech is somewhat short of breath, could it be autumn dryness? Let me take the pulse for the princess..."

  Princess Minghui naturally said okay and stretched out her hand for Gu Jinzhi to take her pulse.

  Then she made the princess stick out her tongue for her to take a look.

  "After a moment, Gu Jin said: '...because it's an autumn day and dry, the heat enters inward, the evil spirit cannot be expelled, the princess originally had a weak vital energy, so this way, there is some chest tightness and irritability. It doesn't matter.'"

  Princess Minghui herself didn't mention the illness, but Gu Jin said it without a single mistake, and she had already admired her in her heart; besides, there was what Gu Jin said earlier, Princess Minghui knew that she had put in real effort to learn medicine, so naturally she trusted her.

  "That's right," said the princess.

  "I've prepared a lung-clearing remedy, Princess. After taking it for three to five days, you should gradually recover." Gu Jin smiled and said, "It's just a minor illness, no need to rush, slow nursing is the most appropriate way."

  The princess nodded again: "Thank you."

  Gu Jinzhi smiled and stood up, retreating to the eastern wing room.

  Jiang accompanied Zhao Daoyuan, Chen Gongzi and Song Wantong to have tea together while waiting for Gu Jin's diagnosis.

  When he saw her come out, Jiang rushed to invite her to sit down and patiently asked about the princess's condition. His attitude was very serious, without any perfunctoriness.

  Although he was mentally prepared, Zhao Daoyuan still felt a thud in his heart: The emperor really trusted Miss Gu!

  This made Zhao Daoyuan somewhat uncomfortable.

  He quickly covered up his emotions and resumed his usual calm demeanor.

  Yanling Fu said that Miss Gu was so mysterious, but Zhao Daoyuan didn't believe it. She's just a little girl of ten or so years old.

  This medical skill is like writing, it's all about years of hard work and practice, there's no shortcut to success.

  No matter how talented or knowledgeable one is in medicine, it's all just theory. Zhao Daoyuan was confident that his own skills far surpassed those of Gu Jinzhong.

  He is more than forty years older than Gu Jin. The skills he has accumulated over the past four decades cannot be compared to a child who reads for a few days and learns from teaching for a few days.

  "The princess is suffering from a severe case of pneumonia, and because the scorching summer has just passed, her vital energy is weak, which is why she's not feeling well." Gu Jin explained to Jiang Furen, "I've written a prescription for you, get the medicine for the princess to take, and she'll recover in a few days."

  Jiang Shu thanked him and ordered someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

  Gu Jin wrote a prescription on the desk.

  Zhao Daoyuan's face had a smile again.

  He also wanted to see what medicine Gu Jin had opened.

  He was present and had rich experience, Gu Jin was just a child, Jiang Shu would definitely let him see if the prescription was reliable before fetching the medicine.

  No one would be so bold as to entrust their life to a child's hands.

  Even if you don't look at it now, you'll have to give it to him later.

  He actually wants to see now...

  Gu Jinzhi finished writing the prescription and carefully handed it over to Jiang Furen before the ink was even dry.

  "She went on to explain: 'Originally, it was just for clearing dryness and nourishing the lungs. But since the princess also had a weak constitution, I added fresh Trichosanthes and small Rehmannia. Fresh Trichosanthes nourishes the stomach, while small Rehmannia enriches yin...' "

  The Duke of Ginger smiled and nodded repeatedly.

  Zhao Daoyuan thought that Jiang Shuhan had a good temper and was well-behaved, no matter who he faced, he always showed an attitude of trust.

  However, this prescription should be shown to Zhao Daoyuan.

  Who knows, after Jiang Zhen nodded, he didn't even glance at Zhao Daoyuan and called a servant to come in, letting him take the prescription to fetch medicine.

  His attitude was not intentionally ignoring Zhao Daoyuan, but rather he felt it was completely unnecessary to ask him to take another look.

  Gu Yu didn't stand on ceremony and asked Zhao Daoyuan to take charge.

  This doll is too crazy!

  Jiang's son-in-law was also surprised: he actually trusted this little girl so much!

  Zhao Daoyuan's face could no longer suppress the shock, with a look of astonishment, but in his heart was horror: what kind of soul-stirring potion had this little girl given to the princess and her husband?

  Although Zhao Daoyuan was not a royal physician, he was most favored by Princess Minghui...

  He didn't want his affection to be diverted by this little girl.

  If it were an old doctor of similar age who had won the princess's trust, Zhao Daoyuan would have been somewhat more at peace. Now, he felt extremely unbalanced.

  Chen Gongzi, who was standing beside him, sized him up several times.

  Zhao Daoyuan hastily regained his composure and composed himself.

  He just came back and must not know some things. He has a good relationship with Chen Yiping, the steward of the Princess's mansion, and Chen Yiping is definitely familiar with the situation here. He wants to ask what happened, it's better not to make any noise for now.

  Gu Jin opened the prescription and then went into the inner room with Song Pantou to talk to the princess for a while before leaving.

  Chen Gongzi did not see the princess and bid farewell to the prince: "Next time I will come again to disturb the princess and the prince."

  The Duke of Ginger seemed to have a somewhat strange attitude towards him, as if he was on guard, and smiled as they parted ways.

  Chen Gongzi then left with Gu Jin and her mother together.

  Zhao Daoyuan brazenly stayed behind and sat down to chat with the imperial son-in-law.

  Before long, the young servant returned with the medicine.

  Zhao Daoyuan thought that since Miss Gu was not present, he would grab the medicine and come back to decoct it. The son-in-law should take a look at the prescription for him.

  Who would have known, the son-in-law still didn't have a hint of this meaning, and instructed Chen Mama to personally go decoct the medicine. The prescription was stacked up and put away in her bosom, as she continued to chat with Zhao Daoyuan.

  Zhao Daoyuan's heart was stirred up with great waves.

  Has his position in the princess's mansion been threatened just half a year after he went out?
