Leng Feng knelt down and said, "Master, please forgive me. Your Majesty dismissed the attendants that day and only kept Prince Jin and Li Tuquan. I have done my best."
It was impossible for the Prince of Jin to tell the inside story, and Li Tuquan was Emperor Wenzong's man, so no one could pry open his mouth, nor did they dare to.
If someone really had this idea, Emperor Wenzong would have beheaded him before Li Tuquan's mouth could be opened.
Chu Xuanhan was eager to know the truth behind the dismissal of Prince Jin. "The spies in Prince Jin's mansion couldn't get any information?"
This was not the first time that the Prince of Jin had committed corruption and abuse of power, but Emperor Wenzong turned a blind eye to it. There must be other reasons for his action this time.
His own hands and feet are not so clean either. If he doesn't find out the reason, he might be the next one.
Leng Feng replied, "Prince Jin has been lingering in the backyard these days and has not even been to Princess Jin's courtyard. There is really nothing we can do."
It was already very difficult to place spies in the Prince Jin's Mansion, and they only managed to persuade a maidservant close to the Princess Jin to defect with great difficulty.
However, there were too many women in the Prince Jin's Mansion, and the Princess of Jin was not favored, so the spies became just a decoration and were completely useless.
Chu Xuanhan wanted to please him, "Find a few beauties and send them to the mansion. We must find out the inside story of his dismissal."
Leng Feng didn't dare to agree, "Master, please understand. At this critical moment, King Jin is too defensive. I'm afraid I am unable to do it."
Chu Xuanhan slammed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table. "You useless people, you can't do anything right. What's the point of me keeping you?"
Leng Feng, who was already kneeling on the ground, kowtowed quickly, "Master, please forgive me!"
Leng Yan, who was standing aside, quickly knelt down and said, "Master, please calm down."
Chu Xuanhan was furious, "Get out, all of you get out!"
***
Huaying quickly grabbed the medicine back.
Amber took it and wanted to boil the medicine, but was stopped by Mo Zhaohua.
The last time she went to the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion, she brought back the medicinal herbs that Chu Xuanchi needed.
The medicinal materials were now kept in the west wing. While Huaying went to get the medicine, she had already told Zhenzhu the method of decocting the medicine.
It told me clearly what kind of fire to use, how long to boil it, and what medicinal ingredients to add in the middle, and I even asked Zhenzhu to repeat it.
As for the medicine that Huaying brought back, Zhenzhu and Amber had both used it when they were in the Shangshu Mansion, so there was naturally no need for her to elaborate on it.
Mo Zhaohua reminded, "Zhenzhu, boil these two doses of medicine separately, but do it at the same time. Don't rely on others for the whole process."
Pearl nodded solemnly, "Yes, Princess."
Mo Zhaohua asked her, "If someone asks why you need to make two doses of medicine, do you know how to answer?"
Pearl thought for a moment and said, "I also have abdominal pain during menstruation. Princess, you are so kind to let me drink medicine to treat it together."
Mo Zhaohua smiled with satisfaction, "You are indeed smart and quick to react. You can say the same to Amber."
The reason why she asked Zhenzhu to decoct the medicine instead of Amber was because she knew that Zhenzhu had this disease, but it was not too serious.
After Pearl left, Amber came in to serve her, "Princess, are you feeling better?"
Mo Zhaohua leaned against the bed, holding a book in his hand and reading, "Much better, don't worry, it's not the first time."
Amber blamed herself, "It must be because the weather has been getting colder recently and I didn't serve you well enough, so the princess caught a cold."
Mo Zhaohua smiled and said, "No, I was careless and lifted the quilt at night. You can't always keep an eye on me."
Amber's pretty face turned red, "I am willing to do so, but the princess has a prince, and it is embarrassing for me to sleep by her bed again."
Mo Zhaohua had been like this before, and she blamed Chu Xuanchi for it, "I'm embarrassed, it's the prince who is shy."
Amber sat on the shoe couch in front of the bed, "That's right. I heard that our prince never lets maids serve him closely, only men."
Mo Zhaohua wanted to give her a good home. "Amber, you and Pearl have reached the age of marriage. Do you have any ideas?"
In their previous lives, Amber and Pearl married two stewards in Prince Qi's mansion respectively. Later, because they entered the palace, they were forced to separate from their families.
In this life, Mo Zhaohua only wishes that they can have their own home, live a life of taking care of their husbands and children, and never have to suffer the pain of separation from their loved ones.
"I'll leave it to the princess to decide." Amber is a family-born child, and her indenture contract is now in Mo Zhaohua's hands, so she has no autonomy over matters of marriage.
"I hope you will make your own choice. Then I will tear up the contract of sale, set you free, and prepare a dowry."
Amber immediately knelt down, "Princess, don't you want me anymore? I know I am not as good as Miss Yueying, but I am willing to die for you..."
Mo Zhaohua said quickly: "Hurry up, I just want to give you freedom, but I didn't say that I don't want you to serve me. I won't agree if someone else does."
Amber's eyes turned red, and she was about to cry, "I don't want to be free, and I don't want to marry. I just want to serve the princess for the rest of my life."
Mo Zhaohua had no choice but to stop, "Forget it, let's not talk about it for now. Anyway, we have just entered the mansion not long ago and are not familiar with the people in the mansion."

afternoon.
Chu Xuanchi had lunch.
Mo Zhaohua left him in the bedroom to rest.
Chu Xuanchi was very worried, "Is Zhao Zhao feeling uncomfortable?"
Mo Zhaohua winked at him playfully, "No, I'm waiting here to take my medicine."
Chu Xuanchi went to hold her hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Zhaozhao. You even prepared medicine for me when you were not feeling well."
Mo Zhaohua gently scratched his palm, "Since you want to confuse the smell of the medicine, you must seize this opportunity."
Chu Xuanchi felt a little itchy from her tickling, so he held her hand with his backhand to stop her from moving. If she continued like this, he would have trouble controlling himself.
"First, I had the acupuncture needles, then I had the medicinal bath, and now I have to drink medicine. If I don't get better, I will be sorry for Zhao Zhao's efforts."
Mo Zhaohua still felt it was not enough, "I have been doing acupuncture for half a month, and the medicinal bath has only been once. If I can do it twice more, the effect will be better."
In order to avoid putting pressure on her, Chu Xuanchi tried his best to appear relaxed, "Don't worry, haste makes waste, as long as there is hope, it's fine."
The two chatted in the bedroom for half an hour, and Zhenzhu came in with two bowls of medicine, "Princess, Prince, the medicine is ready."
Mo Zhaohua only took a sniff and knew which bowl was her medicine. She picked it up and raised it towards Chu Xuanchi with a smile, "Husband, cheers!"
Chu Xuanchi picked up another bowl and clinked it with hers, "Okay, let's drink this bowl of good medicine and recover from our injuries soon."
Zhenzhu couldn't help laughing as she watched from the side. When the marriage was arranged, she couldn't have imagined that Mo Zhaohua would be so happy after marriage.
"Wow... so bitter." Mo Zhaohua took a sip and stuck out his tongue, "No, it's better to swallow it in one gulp."
Chu Xuanchi raised his head and drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp. "Good medicine tastes bitter. It is true that a short pain is worse than a long one."
Mo Zhaohua also imitated him, drinking the medicine in the bowl in big gulps, and handed the empty bowl to Zhenzhu with a bitter face.
Zhenzhu took the bowl and was about to hand over the candied fruit, but Chu Xuanchi had already picked up a candied fruit and threw it into his mouth, then stretched out his long arm to embrace Mo Zhaohua.
The beauty sitting on the edge of the bed fell into his arms. Before she could react, she saw him coming over and kissing her lips directly...
