Chapter 1593 - 1575
For Chu Ge, there wasn’t really anything he wanted. The things in this time and space didn’t belong to him; in the end, he wouldn’t take them away, nor would he take them away.
"I am a doctor, saving people is my duty. The Prince Manor has already rewarded me, so the Princess Consort need not reward me again."
Chu Ge said politely, though it was polite, it was also sincere.
The Princess Consort being able to lower herself to come to the Beggar Gang, I’m afraid it’s not just to thank him, as simple as that. As for her true purpose, only she knows.
However, the most concerning question for him now is who exactly this Princess Consort is, but now is not the right moment for him to ask.
Ru Xue smiled, "I can see Mr. Chu is a modest person, but I don’t like to owe people. You saved me, the reward from the Prince Manor is the Prince Manor’s, but my reward is my own. Furthermore, this is my token of gratitude, I hope Mr. Chu will not refuse."
Luo Qi saw the two people pushing back and forth without coming to a conclusion. He turned his head and whispered to Chu Ge, "Mr. Chu, since the Princess Consort wants to reward you, you should accept it. After all, it’s a royal reward, refusing would mean not giving face to the Princess Consort."
The voice was very low, but Ru Xue still heard it. She stood up with a smile, walked lightly over to Chu Ge, looked at him with an appraising gaze, and gestured to the maid beside her, "Bring the items up."
Chu Ge turned his head and saw a row of people outside the door carrying things in their hands and shoulders, a row of people walked in.
It was all gold, silver, jewels, brocade, and silk. Compared to the fifty taels of silver given by the housekeeper, these were much more valuable.
Luo Qi and Luo Jiu exchanged a glance, holding a bit of consideration in their eyes.
Chu Ge looked at her somewhat surprised, "What does the Princess Consort mean by this?"
"These are my tokens of appreciation, thank you for saving my life, Mr. Chu."
Ru Xue bowed with her hands; Luo Qi and Luo Jiu were frightened and immediately knelt on the ground.
Chu Ge looked at the two of them somewhat puzzled. He was from the modern era, wouldn’t care about these ancient etiquettes at all, not to mention understanding them.
Ru Xue smiled, "No need for Boss Luo to be so nervous. My bow is as it should be. Mr. Chu has done me a lifesaving favor; these few things are nothing."
"I have already delivered my tokens of appreciation, and I have thanked you." Ru Xue slightly glanced at Luo Qi and Luo Jiu and said, "I wish to speak to Mr. Chu alone. Do the two of you have any objections?"
Though a bit puzzled, Luo Qi nodded, "No objection, no objection."
As the two of them left, Ru Xue also dismissed the servants following her, leaving the hall with only two of them for the moment.
Chu Ge looked at Ru Xue somewhat confused, "What does the Princess Consort mean by this?"
Ru Xue saw that there were no longer people around, looked at Chu Ge with an eye containing a hint of coldness, "Mr. Chu, I want to know what kind of method you used to revive me?"
Chu Ge furrowed his brow; the Ru Xue in front of him was completely different from before. He smiled slightly, "This is my exclusive secret method, so I cannot tell the Princess Consort."
"Is it really a secret method?" Ru Xue looked suspiciously at Chu Ge.
Chu Ge smiled and nodded.
"I heard the maid said you claimed the flower was poisonous, but later, the housekeeper checked carefully, and there was no issue at all."
Chu Ge looked at Ru Xue with a faint smile, "Of course, the flower had no problem, it was just a guise for me to treat the Princess Consort."
"Then do you know what illness I had?" Ru Xue asked again.
"What illness the Princess Consort had, I actually don’t need to say; the Princess Consort should be very clear herself."
Chu Ge’s gaze was intense as he looked at her. Her body did not have any disease, but she had just arrived at this time-space, her body was somewhat unadapted for a while. Moreover, for those Ancient Martial Artists, once detached from Spiritual Energy, their bodies inevitably need a re-adaptation period. During this period, they need to rely on the Jade Pendant to sustain themselves.
When Chu Ge had just arrived here, because he couldn’t afford to buy a Jade Pendant, he could only wander around the Marquis Ye Mansion, eventually absorbing the Spiritual Energy from the Jade Pendants of the concubines and young masters there, only then did he barely adapt.
Chu Ge guessed, perhaps Ru Xue didn’t know this point, so she wasn’t initially guarded, as the intense impact made her faint directly.
He passed a trace of True Qi over temporarily to relieve her, but it was precisely this trace of True Qi that successfully exposed him.
Ru Xue pondered for a while, her lips slightly curved, "Alright, since it’s a secret method, I won’t inquire further."
She opted not to ask in detail, clearly knowing in her heart that pressing further might easily expose herself.
She lightly moved her steps, slightly leaning to the side, and Chu Ge suddenly felt a force subtly surrounding him.
In an instant, he reacted, but just as he was about to counterattack, that force vanished suddenly.
Chu Ge looked at Ru Xue solemnly, with a questioning tone, "I wonder who the Princess Consort really is?"
Ru Xue smiled faintly, "Mr. Chu, what do you mean? Surely you know who I am?"
"I mean, where do you come from?"
Chu Ge’s eyes fixated on Ru Xue, as if trying to see through her.
"Mr. Chu, you must be joking. I am the daughter of the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, why would you ask me such a thing?" Ru Xue returned calmly.
Knowing that straightforwardly asking like this wouldn’t yield much, Chu Ge said, "I was being presumptuous."
After Ru Xue left, Chu Ge kept reflecting on that force just now. It felt familiar; he was certain that only Ancient Martial Artists could emit such a force, yet Ru Xue had denied it.
But on second thought, with him asking so abruptly, Ru Xue naturally wouldn’t immediately respond.
Chu Ge pondered for a while, sitting there silently.
After seeing off the Princess Consort, Luo Qi and Luo Jiu hurried back to the main hall, surrounding Chu Ge and asking, "Mr. Chu, do you mind sharing what the Princess Consort talked about with you alone?"
Luo Jiu asked curiously.
"Luo Jiu, this is Mr. Chu’s personal matter, you shouldn’t pry too much." Luo Qi opened his mouth to stop him.
Luo Jiu pouted; he was just curious.
Chu Ge smiled and explained, "Actually, it’s nothing; she wanted to know what method I used to cure her."
"Mr. Chu’s exclusive secret method, did you tell her?"
Luo Qi asked eagerly. He too was particularly curious about the method Mr. Chu used to cure the Princess Consort.
"No, I told her it’s my secret method, so she didn’t ask further."
Chu Ge answered truthfully.
Luo Qi heard it and immediately sighed, shaking his head somewhat helplessly, "That’s a pity."
Chu Ge was curious, "A pity? What does Boss Luo mean by that?"
