Chu Qingyao froze for a moment. "By doing this, isn't the Crown Prince afraid of stealing your Imperial Uncle's business?"
"The capital is so big, at most, I'll find a remote place to stay." In these few days, Wushuang had been investigating her identity, especially Zhui Yan from the Spirit Grass Pavilion. He even spent a lot of effort to do so.
Although he didn't find anything, he was unwilling, the person he wanted to find was someone he could never find out.
Then, he slapped himself. How stupid!
~ Don't we have Yun Chuan?
Chu Qingyao's expression changed when she saw another person enter the courtyard.
Wu Shuang waved his hand, "Yun Chuan, quickly come over, let me introduce you, this is the Chu I mentioned to you before."
Yun Chuan stepped forward with a smile. "Chu Xuan, I am Yun Chuan, his cousin. Shall we go out for breakfast? "
Chu Qingyao was a little speechless. Since Wushuang had brought Yun Chuan here, she must have suspected something.
"Yun Chuan, don't you need to accompany your Qiu Yunzhu? I have something to say to your cousin, you go and play by yourself. "
Yun Chuan made a face at her. He understood the meaning behind her words, she wanted to be honest with his cousin. He moved and left without a sound.
"Wushuang, it's me. I'm not dead." She magnanimously met Wushuang's eyes.
Wushuang looked at her. "You've been back a long time, haven't you? A You, in your heart, am I still an outsider, after all? "
The snow had begun to fall harder, and in a little while, all the sellers would have to pack up.
"Wushuang, I didn't tell anyone. It was fortunate that I was able to survive. " Even she didn't want to recall the days she spent in bed.
"Where's Xuanyuan Zhi? A You, you dare say that you did not tell him? " What Wushuang cared about was this.
"No, he found me." Chu Qingyao watched as the swirling snow turned him into a snowman. However, he just stood there without moving, as though he wanted to merge into the world of ice and snow.
Upon hearing that she was willing to explain, Wushuang relaxed. He was ridiculing himself in his heart. Even if A You personally told him, what qualifications did he have to question him?
She was already a husband and wife!
He was the one with the least qualifications. If he was unable to grasp the situation properly, he might not even be able to be a friend.
He really did not want to lose A You one more time.
He lifted the corners of his mouth and approached her, suddenly taking her in his arms as he approached. He leaned over and whispered into her ear, "A You, don't move, I just want to hug you."
The corners of his eyes were sore, as if cold liquid was flowing out of them. A You, you are heartless. Yun Chuan had clearly said long ago that you were her and that you had returned. But you didn't acknowledge me!
Suddenly, he thought of the foolish thing he had done, and actually hoped that she and his uncle would become a pair. "A You, my royal uncle hasn't done anything to you, right?"
Chu Qingyao pushed him away, "We're just cooperating, what are you thinking?"
Wushuang blushed, and awkwardly reached out her hand to catch a snowflake, letting it melt into her palm.
"Since you're here, why don't you go in and have a cup of tea?" Chu Qingyao invited him.
"A You, it's such a cold day, I want to drink." He laughed.
"You don't have any wine right now, so you have to wait until dinner time. I'll find someone to drink with you." Chu Qingyao did not have a lot of alcohol, so when she came out, she had already made up her mind not to touch any of it.
Wushuang smiled and the two of them entered the house. The waiter quickly raised the stove in the room, listening to the sizzling sounds from the kettle. Chu Qingyao had already prepared the tea leaves.
After making the tea, everyone sat down and chatted.
"A Chu, I know what you plan to do, so I also want to open a clinic." Wushuang looked at the tea floating in the hot water.
"Do you have a trusted doctor?"
"But you do." His face, which was as beautiful as jade, was reflected even more elegantly by the dense water vapor.
"Alright! "I'll get a doctor, and you get the ingredients. Excluding the capital, we get sixty-four percent of it, and you get me sixty-four." Chu Qingyao said.
"Five." Wushuang laughed, "A You, I don't want to earn money, I only want to destroy Kunlun Realm."
Chu Qingyao was shocked. Looking at his eyes that were filled with anger, she knew that he was serious, but he did not seem to have any grudges with Realm Owner.
"Did the Realm Owner suppress your Nine Moons Country?" she asked.
"Because he almost killed you." Wushuang looked at her. Then he chuckled and slowly retracted the anger on his face, "With an example like Tian Qiong ahead, who knows when it will be Nine Moons Country's turn? You can understand that I am preparing for a rainy day. "
"We have the same goal, but I have to remind you, cooperating with me is extremely risky. You are betting the fate of your entire Nine Moons Country."
"A You, even Xuanyuan Zhi is not afraid, why would I, Wushuang, be afraid?" After finishing her sentence, Wushuang felt some regret.
He was afraid that A You would see through his thoughts and ask him, what qualifications do you have to be jealous?
"Wushuang, I have something to ask you. How long does medical Sect need to recruit disciples from all over the world? " Chu Qingyao asked.
"Every three years, the various emperors send thirty people to the medical Sect. After a month of training, those who pass will stay behind."
"In the past, how many people could the Nine Moons Country have left?"
"It's hard to say. At the very least, there's only one. There aren't more than ten people."
"You want Tian Qiong to replace you? As long as they are reliable, I do not object. " Wushuang said.
"I only want five of the thirty spots. "After that, I can give you compensation. Money or herbs, or some medicine that specializes in the treatment of certain diseases."
"A You, treat me as your friend, don't mention compensation." Seeing how she treated herself as an outsider, a trace of sadness rose in Wushuang's heart.
"Alright, then let's not mention it." "Wushuang, don't worry. As long as I don't die, I won't destroy your Nine Moons Country's medicine." She had a medical system, that was certain.
The infirmary that she and Wushuang had co-operated with would officially open in half a month. The name of the infirmary would be Spirit Grass Pavilion's branch.
If it wasn't for the end of the year, they would have opened a third house. King Yi knew that Wushuang and Chu Qingyao had opened another store, and thought that this Imperial Nephew was jealous of him for making money.
However, opening a hospital was a matter of seeking benefits from the common people, so the more the better. Moreover, it could also prove that the Nine Moons Country had medicine to sell. If it was the Tian Qiong, who had been banned from selling medicine for two years, they would not even be willing to throw away medicine, they would all eat to their stomachs.
After the joint efforts of the Dark Guard and Toxic Sect's subordinates, they finally sold out all of their goods on the day before the new year. They were all sitting together in the mansion, waiting for the new year to come.
Recently, Nangong Yuan had been staying in the infirmary and getting along well with Zhui Yan. Today, he didn't come out of his room. After Chu Qingyao heard about it, she went over to see him.
"Xiao Yuanyuan, what's wrong?"
"Miss, I miss home." Nangong Yuan's eyes reddened.
"You're a man, yet you're so easily homesick. Aren't you ashamed?" Chu Qingyao smiled as she handed the candied fruits she had just bought over to him.
Nangong Yuan looked at it, but did not pick it up, "I have never left home before."
"Then why did you come out?" Chu Qingyao asked.
"I accidentally overheard something about the Toxic Sect and sneaked out. Who knew that the moment I entered the Tian Qiong, I was caught by the roasting king." Nangong Yuan looked wronged.
"Why did he take you?"
"Because I heard that Man Tianyao often goes to the capital, and when I was asking all over the place about his whereabouts, I was marked by the Prince Zhi's Mansion's secret guard." Mentioning this matter, Nangong Yuan was immediately infuriated.
roasting king was a vile and untrustworthy person. Even after using him, he was unwilling to let them go.
"I'll take you to ask Elder Bing if there's any news from the Sect Leader." Chu Qingyao pulled Nangong Yuan and went to find Elder Bing.
When they just arrived in the yard, they saw Elder Bing come over with a letter in his hand.
"Eldest Miss, the head of the sect has sent a letter." Elder Bing said happily.
"Is there any news of the Exquisite Department?" The only one who could make Elder Bing so excited was probably the skillful ones.
"Yes, the Sect Leader personally made a trip to the small mountain village to bring Nangong Xianyun and the others back." The usually calm eyes of Elder Bing were now suffused with a watery glow.
He walked up and patted Nangong Yuan's head, "In a blink of an eye, his son is already this old."
"Quick, let me take a look." Nangong Yuan snatched the letter away and anxiously looked at it.
Only after reading it did his mood improve a bit. Elder Bing pulled him back, "Wishing you well. Let's go. I'll take you to the street to buy fireworks. We'll do our best tomorrow night."
"Let's go, let's go and buy some fireworks!" Nangong Yuan was as happy as a rabbit, pulling Elder Bing away.
Only after they left did Chu Qingyao begin to read the letter.
The letter was written by Man Tianyao. It said that he was busy with setting up the Exquisite Department, so he did not have the time to see her. Let her not work too hard and have a good New Year.
Because it was at the end of the year, Zhui Yan and another manager had finally calculated the profit for this month. Because preparing the annual gift was a bit troublesome, Chu Qingyao ordered everyone to pay an extra twenty thousand taels of silver and sent it over tonight.
The next day was New Year's Eve. Everyone woke up early and, according to the customs, decorated the courtyard with a cheerful atmosphere. A few more people were sent out to buy some food and prepare for the New Year's Eve meal.
Everyone had a proud smile on their faces. No one had expected them to have the talent to do business with a sword, other than dancing blade and sword, they had also earned a lot from the goods that they brought from Tian Qiong.
When it was almost noon, Zhui Yan and the others returned from the infirmary. After being busy for so long, these people enjoyed their lunch. Some of them had already begun preparing the ingredients needed for the New Year's Eve meal.
On New Year's Day, it always seemed to come very early.
As soon as the day went dark, someone started to set off fireworks outside. One after another, it was bright and beautiful, causing one to feel intoxicated as if they didn't know when it would be.
Chu Qingyao felt unsettled, as if something was missing.
She called in the Seventh Jue. "Seventh Jue, is there any news from the prince?"
"Nope." Qi Jue lowered his head, "Maybe by the end of the year, I will have too many things to do."
"I got it, go ahead!" She was a little out of sorts. 'Roasting, do you really trust me that much?' She laughed at herself.
The night was getting darker, and the dazzling fireworks were blooming in the night sky, causing people to involuntarily think of the beautiful and deceitful. Chu Qingyao sat at the window, listening to the cheers of Xiao Yuanyuan and his fireworks. Her lips curved into a smile.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew in, as if the door had been blown open. She turned around and fell into a firm embrace.
"This King will accompany you in guarding the year." The clear and cold voice caused her heart to tremble.
"The capital is so big, at most, I'll find a remote place to stay." In these few days, Wushuang had been investigating her identity, especially Zhui Yan from the Spirit Grass Pavilion. He even spent a lot of effort to do so.
