The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 405 Slap in the face (two more in one)

Princess Xinyang is happy, there are not many servants in the courtyard, and they usually stay in the front yard. Only Yujin and Long Yingwei are eligible to enter the second courtyard.

Yujin was originally the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, unlike a female official who was born as a court lady, she was admitted to the Xinyang Princess's Mansion as an official based on her strength.

After seeing off the princess, Yujin turned and went back to Princess Xinyang's room.

Princess Xinyang didn't wake up until evening, and she felt chest tightness when she woke up.

Yujin came over, saw that her complexion was not very good, raised her jade hand lightly, took the pulse of Princess Xinyang, and asked worriedly: "Princess, your pulse does not seem to be very good, please drink some medicine first."

Yujin is not a doctor girl, but Princess Xinyang has been ill for a long time, forcing her to know a little bit about medicine.

Princess Xinyang didn't object, she sat up with Yujin's support, and Yujin took a pillow and put it behind her.

Yujin paused when she went to get the medicine.

There were two bottles of medicine on the table, one bottle was the heart-protecting pill she bought from the Yan Guo pharmacist, and the other bottle was the Baihua pill sent by the Crown Princess herself.

Hundred Flower Pill is extremely rare, even more rare than Yan Guo Pharmacist's Huxin Pill, it is said that it can cure all diseases.

Yujin told about the fact that the Crown Princess had come and given the Baihua Pill.

"Let me take a look." Princess Xinyang said.

Princess Huxindan has seen it, and what she wants to see now is naturally the Crown Princess' Baihuadan.

Yujin took the Baihua Dan on the table: "Huh?"

"What's wrong?" Princess Xinyang asked.

"Why is there an extra strip of cloth on the bottle? There are also words."

Gu Jiao wrote it with a fine charcoal pen, which is not as ugly as a calligraphy brush, but it's not too good-looking either.

For a daughter like Yujin who came from a scholarly family, such words are still a bit irritating to the truth.

But what really puzzled Yujin was not the word itself.

Princess Xinyang looked at the bottle in her hand and said, "Didn't you have a cloth strip before?"

"I don't remember, did I remember wrongly?" Yu Jin frowned, looked up, "Long Yi."

Long Yi flew down and landed three steps away from the two of them.

Yujin looked at him and said, "Did someone come here just now?"

Long Yi didn't speak.

"Forget it, I'm asking you what to do." Yu Jin shook her head, this reminded him that Long Yi was on guard in the room, and it was impossible to let suspicious people in.

So maybe I did remember wrongly, or I missed it, because there is a small piece of cloth on the bottle itself.

Yujin said amusedly: "It was written by the person who sells Baihuadan." The princess's handwriting is not so weird.

With such an interruption, Princess Xinyang didn't eat Baihua Dan first, but took two Heart-protecting Pills that she always took.

In the middle of the night, Princess Xinyang started to have a high fever, accompanied by severe chest pains.

"Princess!" Yujin didn't even put on her coat, she came to the bed in her pajamas, opened the curtain, and looked at Princess Xinyang who was lying on the bed with a pale complexion and no lip color, burning with anxiety!

Princess Xinyang was not born with heart disease, it just happened in the past few years. The death of the little master hit her too hard, and she seemed to be dragged down overnight.

In fact, the initial effect of the Huxin Pill was really good, but as the disease got worse, the curative effect of the Huxin Pill became more and more tasteless. Today, it is finally completely unstoppable.

Yujin thought of the Hundred Flower Pills sent by the princess, and she poured out one.

The pills are white, but Yujin has never seen the real Baihuadan, so she didn't notice something wrong for a while.

She poured warm water and waited for Princess Xinyang to take the pills.

The effect of the medicine developed quickly, and Princess Xinyang felt less uncomfortable after about two quarters of an hour. The symptoms of heart palpitations were relieved, and the chest pain was gradually disappearing.

In the second half of the night, she had a good night's sleep, and when she woke up, her high fever had completely subsided.

Yujin twisted the veil, and while wiping her forehead, said gratifiedly: "I didn't expect the effect of Baihua Dan to be so miraculous. If I knew it, I should have found it for the princess earlier."

Princess Xinyang said: "When you think of Baihuadan, you want to have it?"

Yujin smiled: "That's right. The Baihua Pill's prescription has always been the unique secret recipe of Zhao Guobai's family. It is only refined once a year, and it depends on luck to buy it. The princess has a heart."

"En." Princess Xinyang responded slightly.

Yujin said again: "Two hundred flower pills a day, since the princess is awake, hurry up and take one."

Last night, I felt very uncomfortable, and I was not in the mood to see what the Baihuadan looked like. Now I took a closer look and found that it was not quite the same as the rumored Baihuadan.

Baihua Dan is not really made from a hundred kinds of flowers, but it does use a lot of petals, so the pill itself will have a little floral fragrance.

But this kind of pills...or tablets are more suitable, they are white, colorless and tasteless.

If it wasn't for its miraculous effect, Princess Xinyang might think that the Crown Princess bought a fake Hundred Flower Pill.

"It seems that the rumors cannot be completely believed." After she finished speaking, she took the warm water from Yujin and swallowed Baihuadan.

It is a big event for the princess to return to the capital, and she has to go to the palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager Zhuang and the Empress because of reason and circumstances. The past few days were exhausted and her health was poor. Now that she is much better, it is time to prepare for the palace entry.

After breakfast, Princess Xinyang took the special products brought from Mount Fengdu and took a carriage to the palace.

The emperor is reviewing memorials in the imperial study.

Eunuch Wei entered the room with a bow and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Xinyang is asking to see you."

The emperor was slightly surprised, put down the booklet in his hand, and said, "Let the princess in quickly."

"Yes." Eunuch Wei went outside and invited Princess Xinyang in.

Princess Xinyang stood in the imperial study room, raised her arms, folded her hands in front of her forehead, bowed and saluted: "Sister Chen, I have seen Your Majesty."

"Don't be too polite!" The emperor stretched out his hand, "Be flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Princess Xinyang straightened up.

"Uh...give me a seat!" the emperor said to Eunuch Wei.

"Yes." Eunuch Wei moved a chair over without looking sideways, "Princess, please sit down."

Princess Xinyang was not very polite, and sat down politely.

The emperor felt like rubbing his hands together.

Ashamed to say, although Princess Xinyang is his sister, every time he gets along with Princess Xinyang, he always feels that Princess Xinyang is his sister.

Others may not be able to see it, but only the emperor knows that Princess Xinyang is the one who most resembles the late emperor among his children.

Looks alike, looks even more alike.

means……

He never thought that the women in the harem had any means, except for the Empress Dowager Zhuang.

But after the incident of Concubine Jing, he never dared to underestimate any woman in the harem.

Besides, he thought about it carefully in the past few days. Princess Xinyang lost the protection of her mother and concubine when she was thirteen years old. She is not close to either Empress Zhuang or Concubine Liu Gui. It is actually very difficult for her to protect herself under such circumstances. .

But he never heard of her being bullied by anyone.

Later, when she married Xuan Ping Hou with a high profile, no one dared to bully her.

There are folk rumors that Princess Xinyang is his most beloved sister, otherwise he would not have chosen such an excellent marriage for her. After all, there were too many princesses who coveted Xuanpinghou back then.

Who would have thought that this marriage was arranged by the first emperor early in the morning, and he was just following the last order of the first emperor.

Gathering his thoughts, the emperor asked her, "Aren't you sick? Why did you come into the palace?"

Princess Xinyang said: "It's all right, enter the palace and greet Your Majesty."

"Ah..." The emperor took a sip from his teacup, "It's fine."

On the other side, Eunuch Wei also served tea to Princess Xinyang, but Princess Xinyang flatly refused: "I won't drink tea after taking the medicine."

"Yes." Eunuch Wei hurriedly removed the tea.

The emperor felt a little awkward getting along with this younger sister. He drank several sips of tea and asked, "I haven't heard from you in recent years. How are you doing in Fengdu Mountain?"

Princess Xinyang said calmly: "Everything is fine, thank you Your Majesty for remembering."

Then, the sky was chatted to death again.

The emperor drank tea in embarrassment.

Princess Xinyang opened her mouth: "I heard that Master Jing'an passed away too much, His Majesty mourns."

Is it scalding to call out Brother Huang?

The emperor secretly slandered, and hummed vaguely: "I'm fine."

The emperor did not tell Concubine Jing about his crimes. First, he could not scare the snakes and the remnants of the former frontier fortress; second, he did not want Ning An to be burdened by Concubine Jing's reputation.

The Empress Dowager Zhuang also had no objection to this.

This time it was the emperor who chatted to death.

The emperor only felt that the whole imperial study room was filled with embarrassment.

I have to talk a few more words...

Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in the emperor's mind, and he asked, "By the way, didn't Xuan Pinghou look for you? Why didn't he come back with you?"

"I don't know." Princess Xinyang said concisely.

emperor:"……"

The emperor was not too surprised by this answer, the two of them were not in harmony with each other, and after Xiao Heng passed away, the relationship between the two became extremely cold.

Thinking of Xiao Heng, the emperor finally opened his mouth: "Have you gone to visit your mother?"

Hearing these words, Princess Xinyang's expression finally fluctuated a bit, she gave the emperor a strange look: "I've been there, the queen mother is not in Renshou Palace."

The emperor gritted his teeth and muttered: "Very good, I slipped out of the palace to play cards again..."

His muttering was very small, so naturally Princess Xinyang did not hear her, but Princess Xinyang kept her gaze on his face. After a while, she slowly said, "I heard that the relationship between Your Majesty and the Queen Mother has eased a lot."

The emperor did not deny it: "I have to tell you something. The person who poisoned A-Heng back then was not the queen mother, but the head of the palace bureau named Zhang Xiu. She was bought by the remnants of the previous dynasty in an attempt to poison A-Heng and set the blame on her. The queen mother provoked the relationship between me and the queen mother. I only found out the truth a while ago, and Zhang Xiu has already been executed."

"So that's the case." Princess Xinyang lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Thank you Your Majesty for seeking justice for Ah Heng."

The emperor said sternly: "When all the remnants of the previous dynasty are eradicated, we can truly seek justice for Ah Heng. You can rest assured that none of those people will be let go!"

...

After leaving Huaqing Palace, Princess Xinyang went to Queen Xiao's Kunning Palace again.

She also didn't stay for long, and left after asking An to leave the special products of Fengdu Mountain.

When passing by the Imperial Garden, she ran into the Crown Princess who had just come from the East Palace by chance.

"aunt!"

The princess's eyes lit up, and she walked towards her.

"Crown Princess." Princess Xinyang greeted her.

The Crown Princess held Princess Xinyang's hand excitedly as if seeing a child of an elder, and said, "What a coincidence, I was going to visit my aunt, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

Princess Xinyang looked at her and said: "You are now the Crown Princess, so you don't need to be so polite."

The Crown Princess panicked: "Aunt... is it my birth share? In my heart, no matter who I am now or who I will be in the future, uncle and aunt will always be the most respected elders in my heart!"

Princess Xinyang sighed inaudibly.

The princess asked worriedly: "Auntie, how is your health? I went to visit you yesterday, and you were sleepy. I was worried all night, and my heart was up and down. , the condition has deteriorated to this point. If I had known this, I should have worked harder to find Baihuadan... By the way, Auntie, have you taken Baihuadan? How does it work?"

"The medicine is very effective. Thanks to you, I can already walk around in the ground." Princess Xinyang said, paused, and asked her, "Where did you get your Baihua Dan?"

The Crown Princess looked around, leaned closer to Princess Xinyang, and said in a low voice, "I bought it at a place called the Underground Martial Arts Field. There is a swordsman from the State of Zhao, and he happened to have a bottle of Baihua Pill in his hand."

There are a lot of fish and dragons in the underground martial arts field, but it is really necessary to buy this kind of thing in the underground martial arts field.

Princess Xinyang's last doubt about Baihuadan was also dispelled.

Perhaps Baihuadan is indeed colorless and odorless, but the world has passed it on beyond recognition.

The princess smiled slightly and said: "Auntie, if you are not in a hurry to leave the palace, go and sit in the pavilion, and I will chat with you. After you have been away for a few years, many things have happened in the capital, and I will tell you one by one."

Princess Xinyang did not refuse.

It's not because she wants to listen to the affairs of the capital, it's because she didn't take care of the Crown Princess.

The two climbed up the steps and sat down in the gazebo in the imperial garden.

The princess ordered the palace servants to prepare tea and snacks.

Yujin looked at the butter tea and rose cake on the table, and smiled knowingly: "The princess still remembers the taste of the princess."

The princess smiled and said: "Of course I remember, I remember what my uncle and aunt like to eat! I also eat what Ah Heng likes..."

In the middle of speaking, she suddenly stopped.

Realizing that she had mentioned something sad that shouldn't be mentioned, she felt annoyed for a while, and looked at Princess Xinyang guiltily: "Aunt... I'm sorry... I..."

Princess Xinyang's expression was very calm: "You also remember what Ah Heng likes to eat, there is nothing you can't say."

Yujin waved her hand and screened off the palace servants.

Only she, the Crown Princess and Princess Xinyang were left in the pavilion.

The princess said guiltily, "Auntie, I'm sorry."

Princess Xinyang said: "You don't need to be sorry."

The princess opened her mouth: "I..."

Princess Xinyang said calmly: "There is no need to apologize for what you said, and there is no need to apologize for you being the crown princess. Ah Heng is already dead, let alone you are not married, if you are married, there is nothing wrong with you remarrying."

The Crown Princess tightly squeezed the veil in her hand, her eyes were slightly red, and her throat was choked.

"How is the prince treating you?" Princess Xinyang asked her.

The princess choked up and nodded.

Princess Xinyang also nodded: "Then I can rest assured, Yujin."

She winked at Yujin.

Yujin understood, walked down the steps, and waved to a young maid accompanying her.

The little maid went up to the pavilion.

Yujin said, "Have you brought the things you were asked to bring?"

The little maid thought for a while and said, "All, all sent out."

Yujin said, "Isn't there still a box of Millennium Ganoderma lucidum?"

"Oh, I forgot it in the carriage!" The little maid covered her mouth, "I'll get it now, servant girl!"

After walking two steps, she came back awkwardly, "I don't know the way..."

The little maid was brought here from Fengdu Mountain, and it was her first time entering the palace.

"I'll get it." Yujin said to Princess Xinyang.

Princess Xinyang said: "No need, Long Yi will get it."

Hearing these words, the Crown Princess was confused, who is Long Yi?

She looked among the palace people at the bottom of the steps, but she didn't see anyone leaving.

Long Yi is hidden in the dark, even experts can't detect it, let alone the Crown Princess.

There was only one last box left on the carriage, so it was easy to recognize.

Long Yi quickly went to the carriage to fetch the box.

When Long Yi dropped a brocade box from the sky and flashed into the gazebo, the Crown Princess was terribly startled.

Princess Xinyang said to the Crown Princess: "Thank you for giving me the medicine, this is a thank you gift." Then to Long Yidao, "Give the thank you gift to the Crown Princess."

Long Yi refused.

Dragon Shadow Guards generally don't disobey their master's orders unless they don't understand them.

Princess Xinyang is a patient master. She pointed to the box, then pointed to the Crown Princess, and explained word by word: "You, the box in your hand is a gift for the Crown Princess."

Long Yi still didn't give it.

Princess Xinyang: "Then give it to me."

Long Yi gave it to her.

Princess Xinyang personally took the box to the Crown Princess, but Long Yi snatched the box again!

No matter how stupid the Crown Princess is, she can see that the hidden guard named Long Yi doesn't want to give her the Ganoderma lucidum.

This is like the elders in the family asking the child to share candy with other friends, but he refuses to share it, which makes everyone very embarrassed.

The princess was especially embarrassed, she blushed, "Forget it, auntie..."

"It can't be counted." Princess Xinyang said to Long Yi, "If you want a box, I'll give you another one when I go back. It's a gift for others."

Long Yi would not give it.

Princess Xinyang frowned: "If you don't give it, I will be angry."

It so happened that at this time, Gu Jiao passed by in the Yu Garden.

Long Yi jumped down with a whoosh, came to Gu Jiao, and stuffed the box into Gu Jiao's arms.

Then he looked back at Princess Xinyang.

That look and posture seemed to say.

Don't be angry, I'll give it to you.
