Chapter 94

Hearing that Imperial Yu Fei was visiting Yonghe Palace, Lin Jiaojiao just wanted to grease her feet—run away!

On one hand, Yonghe Palace was not her exclusive venue; on the other hand, even if they really united, even if she followed two guards, she couldn't be sure if she could be safe and sound!

Besides, she had seen the Crown Prince's nanny pinch Zhu Geer just now, and she hadn't had time to check where Zhu Geer was pinched, and she herself needed to check the injury on her waist again.

"Imperial Concubine Ning," Lin Jiaojiao bowed to Imperial Concubine Ning, showing a look of pain in her waist but holding it back, "This commoner has already diagnosed the Crown Prince and prescribed medicine. I still need to go back and check the injury on my waist, so I won't disturb you."

Imperial Concubine Ning wanted to keep her, but hearing that Lin Jiaojiao didn't want to stay, she went over to take Lin Jiaojiao's hand and said warmly, "Since that is the case, this palace shouldn't keep you in Yonghe Palace. Lin Guniang, thank you for coming to diagnose and prescribe medicine for the Crown Prince."

"This palace has nothing else, only a tiny bit of power to assist in managing the inner palace. If you are short of anything, you must tell this palace, so that I can send someone to help you make up for it."

Lin Jiaojiao met Imperial Concubine Ning's willow-leaf eyes, seeing the sincerity and earnestness in them, without a trace of hypocrisy.

"Imperial Concubine Ning is so thoughtful, this commoner thanks Imperial Concubine Ning here," Lin Jiaojiao returned a sincere smile, "Then this commoner will take her leave."

"Duruo, send Lin Guniang back," Imperial Concubine Ning arranged, "When you come back, don't forget to go to the Imperial Hospital to get the prescription Lin Guniang just mentioned for the Crown Prince."

"Yes." Duruo bowed and responded, then led Lin Jiaojiao and her party away from Yonghe Palace.

As they walked out of the gate of Yonghe Palace, they bumped into Imperial Yu Fei's ceremonial procession!

Lin Jiaojiao and her party gave way and bowed to Imperial Yu Fei, "Imperial Yu Fei, may you enjoy peace."

Imperial Yu Fei, sitting on the sedan chair, was wearing purple-red floating light brocade. Seeing this group of people, especially seeing the two guards following behind her, thinking of this morning's incident, she was even more resentful!

She gave a look to the palace maid beside her. The palace maid understood and stepped forward a few steps, mocking, "Oh, early in the morning, you're going to curry favor with Imperial Concubine Ning, why don't you see you coming to Ruyi Palace to curry favor with our Imperial Yu Fei?"

Guo Shi wanted to snap back, but was stopped by Lin Jiaojiao with one hand.

She bowed to Imperial Yu Fei, and then replied to the palace maid, her words revealing humility, "Auntie, you are laughing. This commoner was just ordered by Imperial Concubine Ning yesterday to come and adjust the Crown Prince's body."

"Imperial Yu Fei currently has no heirs. If one day you have an heir, and you want this commoner to help adjust the imperial son's body, then this commoner will definitely not refuse even if she dies!"

Once these words were out, Imperial Yu Fei stared at Lin Jiaojiao viciously, her fists clenched, and the nail guard almost pinched into her flesh!

Qingdai lowered her head, pinching the inside of her thigh, fearing that someone would see her suppressing her laughter.

And the palace maid didn't dare to look at Imperial Yu Fei, just angry, her face turning blue and white. She stepped forward and wanted to pinch Lin Jiaojiao's neck, but the two guards stepped forward with swords, forcing the palace maid to retreat again and again!

Seeing this, the palace maid could only take back the impulse to strangle Lin Jiaojiao, pointing at her and scolding: "Good bitch, actually daring to lie and curse Imperial Yu Fei for having no heirs!"

"This commoner doesn't dare," Lin Jiaojiao showed a look of fear and shrinking, "This commoner only hopes Imperial Yu Fei will have a pregnancy soon, to continue the heirs for the Emperor."

When the palace maid wanted to curse again, Imperial Yu Fei scolded in a voice suppressed to the extreme, "Idiot! What are you talking about with this vulgar woman! Why don't you hurry up!"

"Yes—" the palace maid responded in a low voice, returning to Imperial Yu Fei's side, preparing to help Imperial Yu Fei get off the sedan chair.

When they walked past Lin Jiaojiao, Lin Jiaojiao suddenly covered her mouth and nose, reminding the palace maid, "This palace maid, you have a sour and rotten smell in your mouth. It must be caused by too much stomach fire. This commoner suggests you eat more mung beans when you go back to clear the stomach fire, and hold mint leaves in your mouth on weekdays to keep your breath fresh."

The palace maid hurriedly covered her mouth and exhaled, wanting to smell if she was like what Lin Jiaojiao said, with a sour and rotten smell in her mouth. Seeing this, Imperial Yu Fei glared at her with a look of disgust, and at the same time turned back to give another palace maid a look.

The palace maid who received the look understood, stepped forward, and squeezed the palace maid aside, "Fu'er, why don't you hurry back and drink mung bean soup!"

Fu'er could only bow to Imperial Yu Fei, and then hurriedly covered her mouth and nose, enduring her tears and leaving in a hurry.

After Imperial Yu Fei's group walked into Yonghe Palace, Lin Jiaojiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Duruo, "Auntie Duruo, no need to send me off, I can go back to Qingju Pavilion myself, thank you."

"You are welcome." Duruo bowed to her, and the corners of her mouth that were curving upward could almost not be suppressed.

This was the first time she had seen the arrogant Imperial Yu Fei suffer a loss, and that maid named Fu'er had made things difficult for her many times. Seeing her lose Imperial Yu Fei's favor, she felt a sense of relief, actually feeling very happy!

Lin Jiaojiao waved her hand and said: "I see Imperial Concubine Ning also arranged for you to run to the Imperial Hospital. The Crown Prince's body is urgent. You should go quickly, don't let people think you are lazy."

"This servant thanks Lin Guniang." After saying goodbye to her, Duruo walked toward the palace path in the opposite direction.

Lin Jiaojiao was also preparing to leave, but heard Imperial Yu Fei's arrogant voice coming from Yonghe Palace.

"Big sister, where is the Crown Prince? He likes the donkey-roll I made the most. This palace had the little kitchen make it early, and brought it over as soon as it was hot, wanting the Crown Prince to eat a bite of the glutinous donkey-roll."

Imperial Concubine Ning responded warmly: "Thank you, younger sister. The Crown Prince has gone to class. He has already finished breakfast. Sorry to trouble you, younger sister. I will accept it for the child first."

"Knowing that I care about the Crown Prince is good," Imperial Yu Fei's voice had a trace of dissatisfaction and questioning, "Big sister, do you know that there will be a new heir in our inner palace soon?"

"Oh? Is younger sister pregnant? This is a great happy event." Imperial Concubine Ning's voice revealed unexpected surprise, "The heirs in the palace are thin. If the Crown Prince can have another younger brother or sister to accompany him, it would be excellent."

Lin Jiaojiao almost laughed out loud!

"I don't have such good luck," Imperial Yu Fei's voice was a bit suppressed, "Big sister, you don't know this. The one who is pregnant is the one who was previously thrown into the cold palace—"

Just as Lin Jiaojiao wanted to hear more, Guo Shi walked over holding Zhu Geer. She lifted Zhu Geer's little clothes and signaled Lin Jiaojiao to take a look. She saw a bruise from being pinched on Zhu Geer's pink little arm!
