Chapter 391 His Hands Are Warm to the Touch
The maid screamed and fell to the ground on the street, but Jixiang seemed to have heard nothing. He bowed respectfully to Shen Wantang and said, "I am honored to meet the Crown Princess. I am afraid she is frightened. Are you hurt?"
Shen Wantang shook his head: "I'm fine."
She looked around, scanning everyone in the Shendan Hall, but didn't see Gu Qianhan.
When Jixiang saw her looking for someone, he knew that she was looking for his own son.
He grinned and smiled brightly: "Princess, my master is in the restaurant opposite. There are too many people in the Shendan Hall right now, and it's noisy and smelly. It will take at least half an hour for everyone to leave. Do you want to go to the restaurant to rest and wait?"
Shen Wantang turned around and looked towards the restaurant.
In the private room on the third floor, the window was open. Gu Qianhan, dressed in a black brocade robe, stood facing the wind. Seeing Shen Wantang looking at him, he nodded slightly at her as a greeting.
Shen Wantang also nodded at him.
She looked at the crowded crowd and had to temporarily give up her plan to go in and buy the "magic medicine".
She asked Jixiang, "Does this restaurant have any vacant private rooms?"
As soon as Jixiang heard it, he knew that she didn't want to share a private room with her young master. He hurriedly said, "It's sold out, Princess. My young master's room was also booked in advance. This restaurant has been fully booked by people who came to buy the magic medicine."
"The restaurant next door..."
"It's fully booked too, Princess."
Shen Wantang looked up at the bustling restaurant and knew that what Jixiang said was true.
She could only say to Jixiang: "Sorry to bother your young master, please lead the way!"
Jixiang said happily, and walked into the restaurant with Shen Wantang and Du Juan Qinxin.
As soon as Shen Wantang entered the restaurant, he heard people on the first floor talking about the "miracle medicine".
"Hey, have you heard? This magical medicine was developed by Chu Yanluo. She tested it on herself and finally used 9981 kinds of rare medicinal materials to finally create the Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Pill!"
"Is this magic medicine really that miraculous? Can it remove all scars? Can it restore the skin to its original state? My daughter was burned on her face when she was young. Now ten years have passed. Is this magic medicine still effective?"
"Don't worry, let alone scars that are ten years old, even scars that are twenty or thirty years old will still be effective!"
"Don't even mention scars. I heard it can even cure old injuries and hidden diseases! Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people scrambling to buy it!"
"An old lady next door took this magic medicine and regained her youth! Her skin is as smooth as a peeled egg, and she looks much younger than her daughter-in-law!"
"Impossible! I don't believe it!"
"Oh, if you don't believe me, go buy your mother a dose of the magic medicine and try applying it. Then you'll know the effect, right? Just think of it as a son showing filial piety to his mother, right?"
"Of course I have to buy it. Otherwise, what am I sitting here in the Golden Light Building for? There are too many people in the Divine Pill Hall. I will buy it later."
"Wait? If you wait any longer, there will be no more! The Shendan Hall only sells ten copies of the Nine Revolutions Rejuvenating Pill every day, and you have to buy a certain amount of medicinal materials from them before they will sell it to you!"
"What?! So little? That won't do. I'll go grab it now!"
……
Shen Wantang shook his head secretly after hearing this.
She knows how to make medicine herself and knows how incredible it is to achieve those magical effects that everyone talks about.
In her previous life, she knew that there was a pharmacy that had a very effective scar removal cream. It was said to be a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation and improved by the genius successor of this generation. Therefore, it could remove all kinds of scars and even large birthmarks. Long-term use could also make the skin whiter and more delicate.
After their scar removal cream came out, women in the capital city flocked to it, and even many men who loved beauty would buy one to try.
The scar removal cream in that pharmacy is the best one Shen Wantang has ever come into contact with, but it is not expensive, only three taels of silver per piece, and there is no limit on the quantity.
However, their scar removal cream is not on sale yet, because the genius successor is only thirteen years old, and he needs seven years to make an improved scar removal cream.
Since Chu Yanluo was reborn, he must know the scar removal cream from that pharmacy. Perhaps he referred to their prescription, so it has some effect.
But when it comes to rejuvenation, Shen Wantang doesn't believe it.
As she was thinking, she followed Jixiang's guidance into Gu Qianhan's private room.
"Second Master Gu, sorry to bother you. We will just sit here for a while and then leave."
Gu Qianhan's usually cold voice was slightly gentler: "Don't bother me. I've been here for a while and was about to leave. This private room is for you to use."
"Second Master Gu is leaving now?"
"Well, I have already bought the Nine Revolutions Rejuvenating Pill from the Divine Pill Hall."
Shen Wantang was a little surprised: "With so many people, you actually bought it? But I heard from those people on the first floor that to buy the Nine Revolutions Rejuvenating Pill, you need to buy a certain amount of medicinal materials at the Divine Pill Hall first. Could it be that you have already bought it?"
"I came here yesterday and bought five hundred taels of medicinal materials, so I am eligible to buy the Nine Revolutions Rejuvenating Pill today."
Shen Wantang was slightly surprised: "Five hundred taels of medicinal materials?" Isn't this robbery?
Gu Qianhan nodded: "This is the rule of the Divine Pill Hall. Anyone who wants to buy their rare medicines must buy at least 500 taels of medicinal materials. This rule applies not only to the Nine Revolutions Huanyan Pill, but also to other divine medicines."
Shen Wantang understood. No wonder Shendan Tang had become the leading pharmacy in the capital. It turned out that this was how they did business.
She looked at the crowded crowd downstairs that had surrounded the Shendan Hall, and knew that she would not be able to buy the so-called miracle medicine for a while.
She could only look at Gu Qianhan: "Second Young Master, may I borrow your Nine Revolutions Huanyan Pill to take a look? This medicine is said to be miraculous, but I always feel that it is a bit exaggerated. If I could see the ointment itself, maybe I could get a glimpse of its medicinal properties."
Gu Qianhan took out a emerald green porcelain bottle and said, "No need to borrow it. This bottle of Nine Revolutions Huanyan Pill is for you."
Shen Wantang opened his eyes slightly and said, "You're giving it to me? Second Young Master, didn't you buy this ointment for yourself or someone close to you to use it?"
"No."
Gu Qianhan smiled at her gently: "I bought it just out of curiosity. No one in my family wants to use scar cream."
Shen Wantang didn't know what to say for a moment. The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was indeed rich enough to rival a country. Just out of curiosity, he threw in six hundred taels of silver.
Moreover, if he just lent her such an expensive medicine for a try, she wouldn't have any psychological burden. But if he said he was giving it to her, she couldn't just take it for free.
She was thinking about how to repay him, but his hand had already reached out to her.
His hand touched hers and it felt warm. Although they separated immediately, Shen Wantang still subconsciously retracted her hand.
But Gu Qianhan moved quickly, and when she retracted her hand, there was already a porcelain bottle in her palm.
The emerald green porcelain bottle, carrying his body temperature, lay quietly in her hands.
He really gave her the medicine without hesitation.
