Chapter 226 The Prince is Very Good

Chapter 226 The Prince is Very Good

After a brief conversation, Ning Fengzhe left Prince Dijin's palace and returned to Huixinju.

"Go call Chen Hu over."

Wen Jia responded and left.

"Yes."

Chen Hu is one of the doctors employed by the Ningguo Mansion.

After a while, Chen Hu arrived, bowed and asked after paying his respects.

"What are your orders, eldest son?"

Ning Fengzhe reached into his sleeve, took out the wooden box and showed it to him.

"Look, there are pills in the box. What are they used for?"

Chen Hu took the wooden box with both hands, opened it and examined it carefully.

"To answer your question, my Lord, this is a tonic pill, used for physical weakness."

Ning Fengzhe was puzzled.

"Really a tonic pill?"

"Nothing harmful in it?"

Chen Hu answered truthfully.

“Nothing is different.”

Ning Fengzhe was doubtful, so he tried to test it out.

"Then can you eat it?"

Chen Hu smiled respectfully and nodded.

"I have been working hard recently and am a little weak. You can eat."

Ning Fengzhe gestured for him to come in.

"Then eat now."

Chen Hu looked relaxed and took one pill as he was told.

"Yes, thank you for the reward, young master."

Ning Fengzhe continued to test.

"Can you eat it all?"

Chen Hu was slightly stunned and gave a brief explanation.

"Yes, but taking too much at once is not good for the body."

As if he had heard something, Ning Fengzhe became suspicious.

"Will there be a risk of life?"

Chen Hu smiled helplessly.

"My Lord, your words are too serious. That won't happen."

Ning Fengzhe was a little confused.

"Then you eat it all."

Chen Hu did as he was told.

"Yes."

Ning Fengzhe waved his sleeves.

"It's okay, go ahead."

Watching Chen Hu leave, Ning Fengzhe gave orders in a deep voice.

"Have someone watch him. If there is anything unusual, report it immediately."

Wen Jia nodded in agreement.

"Yes."

After waiting for several hours, the spy came back to report: "Doctor Chen looks ruddy and is safe and sound."

Ning Fengzhe asked himself half-believingly.

"Could it be...he really didn't want to harm me?"

"how can that be possible?"

Wen Jia's mood was as light as a feather.

"It can be seen that you are worrying too much."

Ning Fengzhe's eyes were filled with confusion.

"how do I say this?"

Wen Jia talked freely.

"At first, when Prince Di Jin invited me to have tea, I felt something was amiss. His dismissal of his attendants made me even more suspicious."

“Then I thought about it carefully, and realized that King Di Jin was being honest with me, and that he was truly grateful.”

"First, the secret reward is because we are afraid that the news of the thank-you gift will reach the emperor's ears, causing him to worry and embarrass you."

"Secondly, when the reward was given, he had his back to the princess. In my humble opinion, it was just a coincidence. Otherwise, if the princess came over to take a look out of curiosity, wouldn't it have exposed his true identity?"

"Third, there have long been rumors in Xinglin Hall that when the prince personally sees patients, he does use some strange medical items. The capsules and tablets unique to Xinglin Hall are also made by the prince himself. Although they are strange in appearance, they are also practical and convenient."

"I guess he knows that you have never been to Xinglin Hall for a medical consultation, so the prince made a common pill to prevent you from thinking too much. Just by looking at the sweet taste, I can tell that the prince is very attentive. He even found out that you are afraid of bitter medicine."

"Whether this meticulousness is out of sincerity or ulterior motives depends entirely on how you understand it. Anyway, I think that the prince's action is kind and righteous, which is good."

Ning Fengzhe fell into deep thought...

At the same time, as soon as Ning Fengzhe left, E'lan came and asked to see King Dijin.

Ning Yunxi asked with concern as they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"After we parted at Tongshitai, I heard that you ended up going to the Teng Mansion and became Lord Teng's personal maid."

"How are you getting along?"

"Are you used to living here these days?"

E Lan felt comfortable in the gentle breeze and smiled happily.

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. I am fine."

"Lord Teng is a treasure, and Madam Teng is a kind-hearted lady. Even if I am not considerate enough, they can still be magnanimous."

Ning Yunxi's eyebrows were curved and her expression was calm.

"That's good."

"As I recall, Lord Teng did not sign a slave contract with you. He only welcomed you into the mansion as a guest of honor, right?"

E-Lan stood solemnly and respectfully, nodded and smiled.

"Yes."

"I don't want to be idle, I just want to do something for the master and the lady, so the lady said that I should serve the master."

Ning Yunxi had a smile in the corner of her eyes, warm and gentle.

"Very good. It does not involve slavery. I can take part in the imperial examination and be indentured into the Eight Stages."

"You are a virtuous and chaste person, suitable for mediating divorce disputes. If you can pass the examination to become a state governor, you can show your talents."

"Just now, I have asked my brother to introduce me to you."

E Lan's eyes showed a bit of flattery.

"Thank you for your appreciation, my lady. I am afraid I have failed to live up to your expectations."

Ning Yunxi immediately encouraged.

"Brother has already said that you can do it. You must believe in yourself."

"By the way, why did you come here to see me?"

She was so surprised that she almost forgot about the important matter. E-lan hurriedly explained the reason.

"Is such that."

"Yin Sitai is busy, so there may be a delay today. The master sent someone back to the mansion to tell Madam to prepare the food and send it to Yin Sitai. Unfortunately, Madam is not at home, so I will send the food to her."

"I put down the food and wanted to leave, but the master stopped me. He said that he and Master Xie were temporarily unable to leave, so he asked me to report on his behalf that the Prince of Chen was innocent. May I ask if your Majesty approves this?"

"Also, may I ask the princess if there are any other plans for this matter?"

Yan Yu did not respond immediately. Instead, she turned away and questioned the little sister with her eyes.

"Well..."

Noticing his gaze, Ning Yunxi responded first.

"I don't have any other plans. Let me tell you what to do next."

Yan Yu responded immediately.

"This plan was originally intended for Xu Mingqian. I didn't expect that my brother could come up with a countermeasure and even falsely accuse him, thus trapping the Prince of Chen."

"He is innocent, so do as you please."

O-lan bowed and took her leave.

"Yes."

"I'll take my leave and go back to pass on the message."

Ning Yunxi smiled friendly.

"Go."

When E'lan walked out of Prince Dijin's mansion, Zhuang Rui came towards her in a carriage.

The curtains of the carriage fluttered in the wind. Zhuang Rui glanced sideways and saw the familiar figure.

"stop!"

The groom stopped immediately.

Zhuang Rui lifted the curtain and looked inside, only to see E'lan running quickly among the crowd, looking as if she was in a hurry.

"It's been three years. I didn't expect to meet you on the road."

"This time, I will never let you go!"

After talking to himself, he gave instructions to the groom.

"Follow the woman in the orange skirt, and remember to keep your distance. Don't let her notice you."

The coachman followed him all the way to Yinsitai.

E Lan walked in first, and Zhuang Rui followed. As expected, they were stopped by the guard at the door: "This is a restricted area of ​​Yin Si Tai, and you are not allowed to enter without permission. Second Master Zhuang, please stay and let me report."

Zhuang Rui withdrew his gaze from E Lan and smiled slightly.

"You two lords have misunderstood. I have no intention of trespassing."

"The woman who just entered helped me on the road. She left in a hurry and did not leave her name. I want to prepare a gift to thank her, but I don't know her name or where she lives..."

As he spoke, he took out two gold bars and handed them over in a concealed manner.

"Please give me some pointers, sirs."

Thinking it wouldn't affect the overall situation, the guard answered generously.

"Her name is E Lan. She lives in the residence of Lord Teng, the Minister of Yin. She is both a guest of honor and Lord Teng's personal maid."

Looking at the direction where E'lan left, Zhuang Rui's lips were painted with a deep smile.

"Thank you."

Elan?

It turned out that she changed her name. No wonder I couldn't find any news after searching for a long time.

Is it necessary to do this to avoid me?
