After the rebirth of Madam Hou Clan, her heart was sealed with cement

Chapter 370: The prince is close and proud

The princess nodded with satisfaction, praised Song Ling'er's performance this time, and promised to fully support her in properly handling the matter of medicinal materials.

Song Ling'er took the opportunity to propose that she would personally escort the medicinal materials into the palace. The princess hesitated for a moment and finally agreed to her request.

At this moment, Song Ling'er walked out of the princess's palace and looked at the blue sky, feeling a strong fighting spirit in her heart. She knew that this time was not only a test of her abilities, but also an important opportunity to change her status in the capital.

"Ling'er, you must succeed!" She cheered for herself silently in her heart, and then walked quickly towards the medicine store at home, ready to face the upcoming challenge.

After Tan Zhixu learned about this, his face and body became ugly. The diseases of the concubines and princesses in the harem were not ordinary infections, but plagues.

She blocked Song Ling'er's path and reminded her that ordinary medicines are not allowed. "Ling'er, you might want to pay attention to it yourself."

Tan Zhixu didn't feel sorry for Song Ling'er, but he was worried that she would return to the Hou Mansion with the plague. She didn't want to be infected with the plague.

After listening to Tan Zhixu's words, Song Ling'er frowned slightly, looking at the worry on his face, she couldn't help but feel suspicious.

She responded: "Second sister-in-law, the princess has approved the medicinal materials. Moreover, the queen's condition is urgent, how can we tolerate the slightest delay? What evidence is there for the plague you mentioned?"

Tan Zhixu's expression was solemn. He looked directly into Song Ling'er's eyes and spoke slowly: "Ling'er, I'm not talking about it out of thin air. I met the palace doctor by chance at the medical clinic a few days ago, and through a private conversation, I learned about the disease that the queen and princess were suffering from. There is indeed something fishy, ​​and it may not be comparable to ordinary diseases. If ordinary medicinal materials are sent rashly, I am afraid that not only will it be ineffective, but it may worsen the condition."

After hearing this, Song Ling'er felt a chill in her heart. She carefully recalled all the previous rumors about the Queen's condition, and it was indeed a bit strange. Although she was dubious about Tan Zhixu's warning, she couldn't help but be cautious. After all, the matter was of great importance and she could not take it lightly.

"Second sister-in-law, I will pay attention to your reminder, but the Queen's condition is urgent, and I must act as soon as possible." Song Ling'er responded calmly while thinking about countermeasures, "I will investigate the matter first, and at the same time, I will try my best to find information about the plague. A special prescription.”

Tan Zhixu felt a little relieved to see that she did not completely reject his suggestion. She nodded and said seriously: "Ling'er, you must not be careless about any small matter."

There was a hint of impatience in Song Ling'er's eyes, "I understand, thank you second sister-in-law for reminding me."

This so-called thank you was full of displeasure in his tone.

Tan Zhixu knew that Song Linger would not listen to his words.

On the other side, Tan Zhixu watched Song Ling'er go away with mixed emotions in his heart.

Song Ling'er's responsibility for transporting medicinal materials was known to the princes in the palace.

Song Ling'er had no idea that deep in the palace, the second prince who had once ridiculed her was paying close attention to her every move.

Upon learning that Song Ling'er was about to personally escort the batch of medicinal materials into the palace, a strange light flashed in the second prince's eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I thought that Song Ling'er only knew how to play tricks, but I didn't expect him to be so capable." When the second prince was chatting with the general of the Imperial Guard, he pretended to be relaxed and mentioned Song Ling'er, but he couldn't hide it in his words. The mixed emotions in my heart, "Now that she has gained the princess's trust and went to run such an important errand in person, it seems that I have underestimated her."

The general of the Imperial Guard echoed: "Miss Song has always been high-profile in her work. If the Queen's condition can be successfully resolved this time, her status in the Emperor's heart will probably rise."

The second prince gently rubbed the jade ring in his hand, and the expression between his eyebrows became more and more subtle: "If this is the case, I might as well reconsider my relationship with the Song family, and maybe I can find a new breakthrough from her."

At the same time, Song Ling'er has gone deep into the Hou Mansion's medicine warehouse and carefully checked every rare medicinal material to ensure that it is correct.

Faced with the strange condition of the queen, she was well aware of the difficulty of this trip, but she also understood that this was a key step for her to prove herself and improve her family's status.

"Girl, be careful, don't let anyone take advantage of the situation." The old housekeeper whispered from the side. He could see Song Ling'er's determination and was well aware of the dangers of the palace struggle.

Song Ling'er clenched the medicine list in her hand with a determined look in her eyes: "Don't worry, housekeeper, I will do my best and will never let anyone take advantage of this matter."

As night fell, Song Ling'er led the troops and embarked on the road to the palace with a cart full of precious medicinal materials. As for the second prince and other possible masterminds, she has not yet noticed it, but this does not prevent her from moving forward bravely, because she has already decided that no matter how many difficulties and challenges lie ahead, she will overcome them one by one and live up to the name of the Marquis. , live up to the Queen’s trust.

After Song Ling'er delivered the medicinal materials, she tiredly rode the carriage back home.

The second prince stood in the middle of the road with a smile on his face. He looked gentle, but his eyes were actually cunning.

He had been waiting for Song Ling'er on her way back for a long time. When Song Ling'er's carriage appeared in sight, he leisurely walked out and blocked the way.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Song? You have accomplished a great service today. You personally delivered medicinal materials to the Queen, which really makes us admire you." The second prince pretended to admire, but there was provocation in his words.

Song Ling'er calmly got off the carriage, looked up at the second prince in front of her who always loved to make things difficult for her, smiled slightly, and replied: "The second prince is too complimentary, I just did my duty."

The second prince smiled and said nothing, glanced at the medicine cart beside Song Ling'er, and asked knowingly: "This batch of medicine is specially approved by the princess, right? I wonder if it can really save the queen from danger?"

Song Ling'er was secretly wary and responded calmly: "The medicinal materials have been strictly selected and have been approved by the princess. As for whether the queen can be cured, it still depends on God's will and medical skills."

After hearing this, the second prince stopped his smile, walked straight to Song Ling'er, and said in a low voice: "Sister Ling'er, let's not talk secretly. If the Queen's condition really improves because of this batch of medicinal materials, your status in front of the Emperor will be natural. A rising tide lifts all boats. But, things are fickle and if something goes wrong..."

Song Ling'er frowned slightly and stared at the second prince with sharp eyes: "Second prince, what do you want to say?"

The second prince smiled and looked quite mysterious: "I want to say that if you need help, I am willing to lend a helping hand. After all, we are under the same roof and should support each other."

Song Ling'er knew exactly what kind of medicine the Second Prince was selling in his gourd. She sneered and retorted: "Thank you very much, Second Prince, for your kindness, but I have my own sense of discretion in this matter, so I won't bother you."
