Chapter 474

~7 min read 1,256 words

It's evening.

Young Princess Consort, rest well; tonight I will take you into the palace. Ning Chengyan's eyes narrowed.

What the hell is this; they want to drag it out.

In Da Ning's world, the bright heavens and earth, still cannot tolerate these petty troublemakers.

Good.

You sleep too.

Jiang Yunchu nodded, then lay down, and reached out to grab Ning Chengyan's hand, letting him lie directly beside her.

Going back and forth is too troublesome; let's just do this.

Ning Chengyan looked at the Young Princess Consort beside him, as if at any time, when anything happened, he was used to handling it alone.

But……

Now he seems to be gradually getting used to discussing things with her.

What are you thinking about?

Close your eyes, sleep!

Jiang Yunchu reached out and directly covered Ning Chengyan's eyes.

Ning Chengyan curled the corner of his mouth; the fatigue from returning from the Palace seemed to dissipate at this moment.

Not long after, the two tired people emitted even breathing sounds.

Originally, Zi Su was attending outside.

After Ning Chengyan entered the room, she withdrew, directly guarding the courtyard, holding a book, silently watching the door.

When Jiang Yunchu woke up, the person beside her—she didn't know when—Ning Chengyan had already left.

"Zi Su." She called softly.

Zi Su walked in from outside, "Master, the Prince left an hour ago."

"I instructed the servant to have the Princess Consort eat well; when the time comes, I will naturally take you out."

As for where to go, Zi Su didn't ask, and she shouldn't have asked.

Jiang Yunchu nodded; it seemed Ning Chengyan had gone to arrange her entry into the palace.

Her goal is too great—whether it's her relationship with the emperor's maternal uncle or her medical work in Xijiang, it's all too big.

Arranging her entry into the palace won't be easy.

"Princess Consort, this is the glutinous rice chicken you like, and this is the sweet rice ball you like."

"Anything else you'd like to eat? Zi Su will go arrange it right away." After Zi Su set everything on the table, she gazed at Jiang Yunchu with a serious expression.

Jiang Yunchu took a bite of the glutinous rice chicken, then lifted her head to look at Zi Su and asked, "Has my aunt come?"

Even though she had eaten it a few times in Jiangnan, she could clearly tell that this glutinous rice chicken was made by her aunt.

Zi Su naturally didn't conceal it, a faint smile on her lips: "Yes, Madam Jiang has come; knowing you were resting, she didn't let me disturb you."

"She made the glutinous rice chicken for you in the small kitchen."

"This sweet rice ball was made by the Grand Madam of Kang Fu, and it was also prepared in our small kitchen."

Jiang Yunchu laughed and cried at once, yet her heart was filled with emotion.

No matter what happened or what difficulties arose, the elders never neglected her; they have always been by her side.

"I know."

"I don't want anything else to eat."

Jiang Yunchu waved her hand; this time she ate no staple food, but she finished the glutinous rice chicken and sweet rice ball completely.

"Are you ready?" Ning Chengyan looked at Jiang Yunchu, picked up her medicine box, and took her hand.

In Jiang Yunchu's ring lay another world; all the medicine fields of the West Wind Mirror had previously disappeared.

She was still surprised and didn't understand.

Since she learned that the ring is the root of living things, she studied it slowly and discovered that those herbs, and even the entire West Wind Mirror, were directly inside her ring.

"Ready." She brought her silver needles and her West Wind Mirror.

Ning Chengyan nodded. "Let's go."

They feared someone was constantly watching the Regent Prince's Manor, so they got into a carriage: "To the Grand General's Manor."

And on the road, when the two carriages met, the two had already switched carriages.

On the previous carriage sat a man and a woman dressed similarly, who indeed went to the Grand General's Manor.

"Be careful, we're leaving the city." Ning Chengyan whispered in Jiang Yunchu's ear, giving a gentle admonition.

Jiang Yunchu nodded, looking at Ning Chengyan, and said, "It seems the situation is not optimistic."

Ning Chengyan shook his head. "Very not optimistic."

Jiang Yunchu fell silent, following Ning Chengyan's arrangements; the two changed methods four times, yet finally they walked into the palace.

"Princess Consort!"

At the sight of Jiang Yunchu, Xiao Xi Zi immediately knelt, his voice very soft, as if afraid to disturb something.

He knocked his head on the ground: "Please, please save Your Majesty."

"Attendant Xi, what are you doing? Get up quickly." Jiang Yunchu did not help him up, which was improper.

"I, the Princess Consort, have come only to save people."

"You guard the door."

Attendant Xi immediately climbed up: "Yes, Princess Consort, rest assured."

For a moment, the entire hall seemed as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Yunchu first took the pulse, determined the poison, and slightly raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Has someone suppressed the poison for Your Majesty?"

The toxin had been suppressed; it shouldn't be the current situation.

"Yes!"

Six months ago, Your Majesty went to Pilgrimage Mountain to pray for blessings for Da Ning, and on the way he met a little medical girl who had suppressed the toxin for Your Majesty.

They only found out then that Your Majesty had actually been poisoned, and the toxin was very mild, requiring years of accumulation before it reached the point of outbreak.

"A medical girl?"

Jiang Yunchu raised an eyebrow, "At the collar of the robe, isn't there a Zi Wei flower?"

This method of suppressing the toxin is her method.

Besides her, only Zi Wei knows how to use it.

I'm afraid that little medical girl is Kang Ziwei.

Who would have thought, after all these twists and turns, she actually ended up in Ning Jing.

"Yes," Xigonggong's eyes brightened as he firmly nodded; the little medical girl had no adornments whatsoever, just her hair, which was simply tied up with a wooden hairpin.

Yet despite such a plain outfit, he wore clothing of extremely fine fabric; at the time he wondered just who this person was.

He examined that clothing thoroughly, and only then did he remember that Zi Wei flower.

"Does the Princess Consort know her?"

Xigonggong was now absolutely certain that the Princess Consort knew this person, and even shared a deep connection.

"My child."

One of those twelve little monsters, the Kang Clan miss who specializes in medical arts, Kang Ziwei.

Only then did Xigonggong realize it was her.

Being a miss of the Kang Clan, when she met Your Majesty, she deliberately intervened.

Moreover, she spoke without any concealment.

After suppressing the toxin, she took no payment and left directly.

It turned out to be a miss of the Kang Clan.

This matter has always been a thorn in Xigonggong's heart; he fears that due to his own carelessness, His Majesty was poisoned.

"Kang Ziwei has already suppressed the toxin; logically, His Majesty's poison should still hold out for two years."

"In the three days before the outbreak, who has seen His Majesty?"

If there is no other guidance, the toxin of the Emperor's maternal uncle can at least be suppressed for two years.

But now it has erupted; unless something special guided it, causing all the suppressed toxins to erupt together.
