No pop-up ads, so refreshing! Thanks for your support! Sounds good to me ^_^... Chapter 76 - 1
Due to the emperor's decree, Nan Chengyao stayed in the Yu Shun Hall of the Zi Jin Palace for recuperation and adjustment. Although I understand the situation, and I know that he is unlikely to have any problems, but it is impossible not to worry at all, especially when it has been almost half a month since I last saw him.
Following the rules, without being summoned, I am not allowed to enter the palace arbitrarily. Even if Nan Chongyue is currently recuperating in the palace, I still cannot visit him easily.
I don't know if it's because of the relationship with Queen Qing, but since that day when we parted ways, there has been no imperial decree summoning me to enter the palace. Every day, a eunuch would come to the Third Prince's residence to report on my well-being, saying only the simplest phrase: "Your Highness is safe and sound, please don't worry, Princess."
Don't worry, someone like him wouldn't normally make me anxious, but I couldn't control myself. The image that lingered in my mind was the pale color of his lips and the cold sweat on his forehead when I last saw him.
Everyone in the Sanwangfu, Tai'an, Xunyun, and Zhuyurou, seemed to have already learned the news and were no longer worried. At least, that's how it appeared on the surface. They continued to do what they needed to do, proceeding with their usual orderliness, as if Nan Chongyang was still in the manor.
It's just that I don't know if it's my own paranoia, but I always feel like they're intentionally or unintentionally avoiding me. Even when they can't avoid facing me, there's a kind of evasiveness in their eyes that's hard to detect.
"Miss, here are the two kinds of herbs you wanted, each costing two coins. I've already ground them into fine powder. But I don't understand what you want to use them for, Miss?"
Shu Ying's question interrupted my thoughts, I took the medicine from her hand and smiled as I urged her: "You'll know when the time comes, now quickly help me invite General Tai to come to Gui Mo Pavilion."
Tai'an arrived in no time and bowed to me, saying: "I don't know what orders the princess has?"
I smiled slightly: "I heard that the emperor has been suffering from a headache recently, and the imperial doctors have tried many methods, but none of them have been very effective. I happen to know a folk remedy that might be useful. Please help me ask Tai Gonggong to submit a memorial to the palace on my behalf, I'd like to give it a try."
Tai'an paused for a few seconds before responding with a "yes", then retreated out of the room.
Shu Ying looked at me with a somewhat puzzled expression: "Miss, you're looking for these medicines just to treat the Emperor's illness? Didn't you not want others to know that you understand medicine?"
I smiled and said, "But I want to enter the palace, so it can't be helped."
"Miss wants to see His Highness, right?" Shu Ying smiled and suddenly looked enlightened, but in just a few seconds, she became even more confused and asked: "But if Miss wants to see His Highness, why not just say so? Why go through such great trouble? Is Miss too shy or something?"
I smiled faintly: "Shu Ying, the prince will stay in the palace because the emperor has issued an edict. Inside Yu Shun Palace, whether it's medical treatment or daily necessities, everything is personally taken care of by the emperor himself, and they are all the best. In this case, if I still ask for an edict to enter the palace due to worrying about the prince, although it's a normal human emotion, I'm afraid it will inevitably be seized upon by those with ulterior motives, do you understand?"
She nodded slightly as if she understood, I smiled and didn't say anything else, nor did I tell her that even if we were to ask out of concern and longing, with Empress Qing present, it's likely that our request would be in vain, or might even backfire.
