Remember "Bookworm" in one second.

  In such cases, only Chiang's words can save the situation.

  "Your Highness," asked Jiang with a smile, "how has the Crown Prince's health been lately?"

  At the mention of the crown prince, the emperor's expression softened: "The king was injured back then and hurt his vital energy. These years have been spent nursing him back to health, and his old illness rarely recurs."

  "It is said that Wei Taishan has prepared a medicinal pill for the Crown Prince to nourish his body. With Wei Taishan's divine medical skills, he will surely cure the Crown Prince's old illness."

  Ling Xi took over the conversation and tried her best to make the atmosphere more relaxed and harmonious...

  This is obviously an arduous task.

  The crown prince's eyebrows were cold and stern, his eyes gleaming with an aura of majesty that commanded respect without him even getting angry. No matter how you looked at him, he didn't seem like the type who enjoyed idle chatter.

  It's really stressful talking to someone like this.

  At the mention of Wei Taiyi, the Crown Prince slightly curled up the corners of his lips, but there wasn't much smile in his eyes: "What you said is true. Although Wei Yan is young, his medical skills are extremely impressive. The Emperor and Empress Dowager both have a high opinion of him. Zhou Taiyi is already over fifty years old, and he won't be able to hold the position of Imperial Physician for much longer. It's only a matter of time before it becomes Wei Yan's."

  Protect and defend!

  Ling Jingxu murmured this name several times.

  I hope this divine doctor is as skilled as the rumors say and can cure Ling Xiang's eyes.

  As for her "strange illness", more than half of it was caused by the humiliation she suffered in her past life. Any man, as long as he gets close to her side, will make her feel tense and uncomfortable all over...

  Even if Wei Taigong's medical skills are superb, he can't cure such a strange illness...

  Ling Jing's dazed and confused expression was clearly visible in the eyes of the Crown Prince.

  The crown prince was born to be the focus of everyone's attention, and the girls in the boudoir who saw him would either pretend to be shy or pretend to be dignified, or put on an innocent and lively appearance to attract his attention. It was unprecedented for someone like him to be so thoroughly ignored.

  The crown prince was unhappy in his heart and couldn't help but reveal a few hints on his face.

  Jiang's thoughts were meticulous, and he vaguely saw a few clues. Without making a sound, he pulled on Ling Jingxuan's sleeve and smiled: "Ah-Jing, aren't you going to take Ah-Xiao to Huichuntang for medical treatment? You don't know the rules of Huichuntang yet!"

  Ling Jingxu's attention was indeed attracted: "What rules?"

  "Wei Taiyi only goes to the clinic twice a month, and the patients waiting outside the Hui Chun Tang are too numerous. Moreover, Wei Taiyi has set a rule that no matter whether you're old or young, regardless of your status, everyone must take a number and wait in line. Even if it's the family members of government officials or military officers, they can't break this rule."

  "Wei Taizhen set this rule to prevent people from cutting in line and bullying others. This way, even ordinary citizens who fall seriously ill can go to Huichuntang for treatment. This rule is indeed good, but if we wait like this, it's possible that we'll have to queue up for several months..."

  Chiang stopped talking at this point.

  As expected, Ling Jingxu had already furrowed her brow.

  It's going to take several months, which is too long!

  It can be heard that Jiang's intention is that, regardless of whether it is a civil official or a noble military general, no one has the right to cut in line in front of Wei Taiyi, who has an extraordinary status and is deeply favored by the emperor. Ling Dage is just a fourth-rank civil official, probably just a slightly higher-ranking official than sesame seeds among Beijing officials. Even if he shows up, it's useless...

  Jiang smiled and said, "Ah Jiu, look at you, usually so clever and quick-witted, but it turns out you're also a smart face with a foolish gut. Of course, Wei Taiyi wouldn't pay attention to what others say. However, if the Crown Prince spoke up, Wei Taiyi would find it hard to refuse."

  Ling Jingxu: "......"

  Chiang has already made it clear, even a fool can understand.

  The crown prince still had his hands behind his back, with a calm and composed expression.

  Yet in his eyes, there was a clear glint of "you'll still have to come crawling back to me" expression.

  It's really frustrating just looking at it.

  ......

  She was the high and mighty Crown Prince's daughter, while she was just a young lady from a boudoir. Comparing strength with him would be like an ant trying to shake a tree.

  Besides, for Ah Xiao's sake, slightly bowing one's head and showing weakness is nothing.

  Ling Jingxu quickly adjusted her mood and put on a humble and respectful expression: "I don't know if the Crown Prince would be willing to help with this matter? For the Crown Prince, it's just a trivial effort, but it can make Ah Xiang see Wei Taishi sooner. I beg the Crown Prince to lend a hand again."

  She was willing to lower her head and beg. He naturally felt pleased in his heart. But for some reason, looking at her humble and condescending appearance, he also had a strange sense of dissatisfaction.

  She was able to bend and stretch, in order to cure Ling Xiang's eye disease as soon as possible. She willingly put down all her pride.

  "Wei Taiyi is a man of many rules and rarely breaks them. However, he will always give face to the king."

  Ling Jingxu's eyes lit up, and her face was full of hope.

  The crown prince smiled faintly and continued slowly, "But, I owe him a favor just by opening my mouth. Why should I take on this unnecessary obligation?"

  Ling Jingxu: "......"

  Everyone: "......"

  You used to be so down-to-earth and approachable, how come you suddenly turned your back on me?!

  Are you kidding me!

  Ling Xiao's face turned red with anger and shame, feeling annoyed at himself for dragging Ling Jingxuan into this awkward situation, and hating himself for being useless, not knowing how to counterattack.

  Jiang's smile also froze, and he secretly regretted it in his heart.

  I thought that bringing up this matter would not only make Ling Jingxu's grandson happy, but also give Ling Xiao the opportunity to ask for a diagnosis, which was a win-win situation.

  Who would have thought it would be so embarrassing?

  It's all her fault, she doesn't understand that this noble grandson is so moody and unpredictable...

  Wang Tong on the side was already used to it.

  From the age of eight, he became the commander of the Crown Prince's guards and grew up with the Crown Prince. He understood the Crown Prince's unpredictable temper better than anyone else.

  Poor Ling Jiu, full of hope, but was splashed with a basin of cold water. Lost face in front of everyone again!

  Just as Wang Tong thought that Ling Jiu would cover her face and leave with red eyes, Ling Jiu's performance shocked Wang Tong again.

  She quickly collected all her expressions and smiled faintly: "The Crown Prince is right. My brother and I are not related to the prince, and it was already a great fortune that we received his help a few days ago. The favor of saving our lives has not been repaid, and yet I foolishly hoped that the prince would help us plead for mercy, which is really presumptuous and shameless. This humble woman will now apologize to the prince.

  Saying so, he bowed solemnly and made a gesture of respect.

  Then, with a serious expression, she said: "This humble woman will never mention this matter again. Please, Your Highness, put your mind at ease."

  Crown Prince: “......”

  Wang Tong did not dare look at the Crown Prince's expression at this time and quickly lowered his head.

  Miss Lingjiu's response was truly brilliant. She hid all the cold ridicule and hot sarcasm in her polite responses, soft but with a hidden sting!

  It's like slapping Taizong Emperor of Tang Dynasty in the face!

  Actually, true strength does not come from noble status and intimidating power, but from inner strength!

  This Miss Lingjiu is very powerful!
