Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 364
Today is the last day of the three-day period, although Zhao Min felt that no one should come to see her, but just in case, she took the medicine early.

But on this last day, the day before Zhao Min's departure, the General's Mansion ushered in an unexpected visitor.

It was a person that Zhao Min never thought of anyway, and that was the Crown Princess.

Speaking of why the Crown Princess came to the General's Mansion to visit Zhao Min today, it all stems from the fact that the Crown Prince finally came back from the south for disaster relief yesterday.

The crown prince is concerned about Gu Lingqing's movements, and now Zhao Min, who is staying in the capital, has naturally become his important concern, sending people to follow her news all the time.

Before he entered the imperial city, the news of Zhao Min's injury reached his ears immediately.

Yesterday afternoon, after Gu Zixing entered the city, he immediately went to the palace to report to the emperor. Naturally, he received many rewards, and also went to meet the queen.

"Mother."

The queen who was taking a nap on the couch immediately opened her eyes when she heard Gu Zixing's voice, and a look of surprise flashed across her face: "Prince, are you back?"

Seeing this, Gu Zixing clasped her hands together and bowed to the queen: "Simply the child lived up to my father's expectations and completed what my father asked me to do."

The queen stepped forward and grabbed the prince's hand, and pulled him to the chair next to him to sit down: "The prince has really worked hard this past month, the queen looks thinner."

Under the queen's questioning, Gu Zixing answered what he had been busy with in the past few months.

After talking about some trivial matters, Gu Zixing was concerned about Zhao Min's injury, so he asked the queen: "Mother, my son heard that Zhao Min was injured by an arrow. It seems that the injury is not serious. Is there such a thing?"

"Yes." Hearing the crown prince asked this question, the empress couldn't help but look a little more serious, "I went to the general's residence in person this morning to express my condolences."

"How?" Gu Zixing's eyes were full of inquiry.

"Indeed, as the rumors said, she was seriously injured, and the arrow was poisonous, and the skin on her body began to rot in some places. Once in her room, there was a smell of medicine, blood and a faint smell of decay. It smells bad."

Gu Zixing suppressed her doubts, came out of the palace, and went straight to the Prince's Mansion.

Although Gu Zixing still trusted the Queen's words very much, but he always felt a faint sense of uneasiness flashed in his heart, and he always felt that something seemed wrong.

The crown princess has been waiting in the mansion since the crown prince returned to the imperial city today, but the crown prince went to the queen's place and was delayed for some time, so when she returned home, the crown princess had already waited for a while, but she didn't see any expression on her face. Impatient look.

"Prince, you are back."

The smile on the crown princess's face was very gentle, like a wife obediently waiting for her husband to return home.

What happened to Zhao Min last time taught the Crown Princess a lesson. She, who has always been prudent, lost her usual prudence when she met Zhao Min, and did such an impulsive thing.

Afterwards, the Crown Princess also made a deep self-criticism in her heart. As a Crown Princess, she could not let her inner desires control her actions while she was in her position and seeking her own government.

The prince naturally showed a very intimate appearance, walked up to hold the princess's hand, and pulled her to sit on the chair in the inner room: "For such a long time, Linglong has been running the whole house by herself. Thanks for your hard work."

The crown princess lowered her head, looking shy: "Whatever the crown prince said, this is the duty that a concubine should do."

The prince nodded in satisfaction, let go of his hand, and picked up the teacup on the table, the temperature of the tea was just right for drinking.

During the time when the Crown Princess was waiting for the Crown Prince, the tea on the table would be changed every other incense stick.

Putting down the teacup, the prince raised his head and looked at the concubine on the opposite side: "Linglong, tomorrow you can help me run to the general's mansion. I heard that Princess Ling was seriously injured by an arrow. You go Take a look on behalf of the palace."

The Crown Princess also heard about this incident. She was not only hit by an arrow, but there was poison on the arrow, and festering symptoms appeared all over her body.

It's just a symptom that just appeared this morning. Now people from all walks of life have known the news, and many of them are due to Zhao Min's intention to let people spread the news.

I don't know if this rumor is true or not. The Crown Princess has long wanted to see it with her own eyes. The person I have always hated has now turned into such a miserable appearance. If I don't go and see it myself, how can I be worthy of her?
Therefore, the Crown Princess readily accepted the task assigned to her by the Crown Prince: "The concubine will go early tomorrow, and will definitely bring the Crown Prince's heart to her."

In the early morning of the next day, the Crown Princess naturally followed the Prince's order and came to the General's Mansion.

Thanks to Zhao Min being careful this morning, otherwise, Nanny Gu would not have watched the Crown Princess and Jiang Yanran come to Zhao Min's room so calmly.

Recalling what the prince said to him yesterday, as soon as he entered the door, the princess covered her nose with her handkerchief, and it was exactly as the empress mother said, the smell in the room was really unpleasant.

"Mrs. Xiao." Realizing that her actions were not very good, the Crown Princess took off the handkerchief, "How is Princess Ling's injury? What did the Imperial Physician say?"

"Alas..." Jiang Yanran sighed deeply, her eyes turned red, "Physician Shang is working hard to detoxify, but the effect is minimal."

In fact, as soon as she came to this room and smelled this smell, the Crown Princess was a little disgusted, but thinking about what the Crown Prince had explained, the Crown Princess had no choice but to endure the disgust in her heart and walked to another room.

Sure enough, he saw Zhao Min lying on the bed with a pale face, his anger was like gossamer, and the obvious rot on the lower jaw made the Crown Princess cover her mouth and ran out.

After Jiang Yanran and Gu Momo looked at each other, the two hurried out, and saw the Crown Princess holding on to the wall, and actually vomited.

Jiang Yanran suppressed the gloating in her heart, stepped forward, and asked with concern, "Is the princess all right?"

The princess raised her hand and waved it. Just as she was about to answer her, she didn't feel a sense of vomiting welling up in her throat. She held onto the wall and vomited again.

Jiang Yanran had an anxious expression on her face: "Crown Princess, are you okay, the Imperial Physician Shang will come later, why don't you let him show you."

However, the Crown Princess didn't have the energy to answer her questions. After she had vomited all the contents in her stomach, she straightened up with the help of her servants.

Right now, she doesn't want to stay in this place for a moment, her actions just now are too embarrassing, and she has never lost her composure in front of others.
