Chapter 241
"Master, I need to know more about the palace so that I can help you better."
Hearing this answer, Cen Xi was barely satisfied.
"Tell me, what did you find out?"
The maid turned her eyes and said something: "I heard that the prince once had a woman he truly loved."
The prince's true love?
Concubine Cen really didn't know. She had never heard of this matter in her previous life. She couldn't help but doubt: "You haven't been deceived, have you?"
"How is that possible? I have been dealing with the maids guarding the second gate for the past few days, and I was able to get a little information out of them. It must be true."
"What's the point of asking about this? There should be no such person in the mansion now. You might as well ask about something else, or build good relationships with the servants in the various courtyards."
Concubine Cen suddenly remembered Concubine Zhao's operation, and she had a flash of inspiration: "You are old now, why not find a suitable man in the mansion? I think the eunuch Shi beside the prince is not bad.
Anyway, he doesn’t have that kind of thing, and when I become a princess, I will find you a better one.”
The princess cannot die now. If she dies, the prince will definitely marry a new princess from outside, and she will be making wedding clothes for others.
When the maid heard what Concubine Cen said, her eyes turned cold: "I can do things without contacting Eunuch Shi."
Concubine He was still immersed in her dream of becoming the Queen Mother in the future. She waved her hand nonchalantly, "Okay, go down. Have you notified father to do it?"
“I have already informed you.”
"That's good"
The next day, Concubine Cen dressed more low-key, wearing loose clothes at the waist, and was supported by maids on both sides as she slowly came to the main courtyard.
She was simply decorated, with only a small sachet hanging around her waist, which made her look particularly plain.
Concubine Cen casually fiddled with the small sachet with her fingers, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
When she arrived at the main courtyard, she put on a worried look again.
"Cousin, how are you? Are you feeling better?"
When the princess saw Concubine Cen, she got up from the bed. Even this simple movement was very difficult.
"I'm fine. Why are you here? Are you in trouble again?"
Concubine Cen's face froze: "No, cousin, I came here this time just to see you, and also..."
When she said this, a look of worry appeared between her brows.
"Cousin, your health hasn't improved, and you haven't seen any effect after taking so many medicines. Why don't you try another method? Maybe it will get better."
"Another way?"
"Cousin, listen to me"
Concubine Cen sat intimately on the edge of the bed, hugging the princess's arm.
"I heard that there is a Taoist priest named Qingyun who has just arrived in the capital. His Taoist skills are extremely exquisite and he is a powerful person. Why not let him come over and take a look? Maybe he can be useful!"
The princess subconsciously felt that it was inappropriate.
"I'm just sick, this is too much of a fuss"
"What are you afraid of? It's not like we're the only one who has invited a Taoist priest. Many ladies outside have also invited one."
"Cousin, if you don't agree, then I'll risk it all."
She clenched her fist and said ruthlessly, "At most, I will go and beg the prince for my cousin. If the prince doesn't agree, I will kneel down forever!"
The princess chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, that's unreasonable of you. I'll think about it."
"Okay then, I won't bother my cousin anymore."
After Cen Xi left, Madam Lou came forward and helped the princess lie down while advising: "Princess, I think what Concubine Cen said makes some sense. Why don't you give it a try?"
"What's the logic? It's just a trick."
"Just give it a try, what if it works? Princess, your illness is very important."
After helping the princess lie down, Madam Lou took out a familiar sachet and said, "Princess, I got it!"
She put it in her sleeve and said, "I'll ask someone to send this thing over right away."
The princess nodded expressionlessly: "Go ahead."
Concubine Cen was halfway there when her face suddenly changed and she looked down at her waist.
It's empty here now.
"Where's my sachet?"
The maids following behind looked at each other.
"This slave doesn't know"
"I don't know either."
"Don't know? Go find it now!"
Concubine Cen's hands and feet were trembling.
"Yes"
The maids quickly ran to the road to look for it.
No one noticed, and as they searched, they found that one of the little maids had disappeared.
Not long after, a Taoist priest named Qingyun, who was proficient in Taoism, was invited to Prince Zhao's palace.
Everyone in the mansion went to watch the fun.
This made Ji Yunqing extremely anxious.
Although house arrest was low-key and saved her from a lot of trouble, it was no longer effective at a time like this.
It takes too much time to watch the fun.
Why did you come at this time instead of earlier?
And there is King Zhao. No one knows what this man has been busy with recently. He hasn't even been seen. Ji Yunqing can't ask him to plead for him to come out for a while.
There was no other choice, so Ji Yunqing started writing letters to the princess three times a day.
The wording in the letter was very corny, and the main idea was that she hadn't seen the princess for a long time, and she heard that a Taoist priest wanted to pray for the princess, so she also wanted to pray for the princess.
As for why she wrote so corny, it was all copied from the letters that those mysterious people had written to her before.
There is no way, this is such a useful writing material!
It would be a pity to leave it unused.
Although King Zhao had seen it, the princess had not, so she could still use it as a fresh read.
The princess couldn't help laughing as she looked at the letters sent from Guihuayuan.
"That's all."
The princess smiled as she watched, and she felt much better: "Go talk to the prince and ask Ji Shi to come out and take a look.
If we don’t let her see this excitement, I’m afraid the mail will flood the whole yard.”
Seeing the princess' happy expression, Nanny Lou thought that this little slut was still of some use.
She couldn't help but suggest: "Princess, you must be bored when you are recovering from illness, why not let Ji come to take care of you?"
"no need"
What's the point of attending to a sick person? It's just that there's a living person standing in front of you.
The princess regained her former composure.
Seeing the princess like this, Nanny Lou felt uncomfortable.
The princess is just too proud and has a very kind heart.
Which wife wouldn't use illness as an excuse to take a concubine? But the princess is not like that.
Taoist Qingyun was invited here soon.
On that day, Ji Yunqing stood in the crowd with an excited look on his face, looking curiously in the direction of the Taoist priest.
Other men!
Live!
This looks very strange.
The Taoist priest came with a little Taoist boy. His Taoist robe was wide and flowing, his face was fair, and his beard hung down to his chest. He looked like a Taoist immortal.
He claimed that he had practiced Taoism for sixty years and had only recently come down the mountain to gain experience.
This caused everyone to exclaim in surprise.
The reason is simple. This Taoist priest looks to be only in his forties, but he has been practicing for sixty years.
The princess seemed to be in good spirits today. She was supported by her maid and exchanged a few words with Taoist Qingyun, then let the Taoist do as he pleased.
