I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

Jianying quickly replied, "The maid in the Queen's palace is called Zhang Huifang. She was the Queen's maidservant during her marriage. Now she is the Queen's aunt. The maids call her Aunt Fang."

Li Rui was certain almost instantly that the midwife who delivered the medicine to his baby must be Zhang Huifang.

It seems that the death of my mother is closely related to the queen. But now there is only a confession from the midwife, and no substantial evidence.

The only way to start is with Zhang Huifang. But she is the queen's maidservant and is not easy to approach. How can we make her tell the truth?

In the side hall of Wangyue Pavilion, Dai Meng happily held An Muxi's hand.

"Xi'er, has the poison in my body really been eliminated?"

An Muxi smiled and nodded: "Yes, I said I could cure your poison, how could I lie to you."

Dai Meng also felt that the feeling of blocked meridians and weakness in the past few days had completely disappeared. He stood up and walked a few steps, and felt that he had strength again.

Her beautiful face was filled with joy: "Xi'er, you are really my benefactor. If it weren't for you, I would have died this time."

"Tell me. What reward do you want?"

An Muxi was speechless. Sister, how can I have the nerve to ask for it casually?

"You don't have to do this, Princess. Didn't you give me a set of jade jewelry last time?"

Dai Meng said nonchalantly: "That was just a small gift for meeting you. How can it be considered as a reward?"

An Muxi thought that this is what you said. What she lacks most now is money, so she said directly: "Actually, what I lack most now is money."

Dai Meng was stunned. In fact, the things she gave were all treasures of Tianyue Kingdom, and any one of them was worth a fortune. She didn't expect An Muxi only wanted silver.

She burst out laughing and winked at Sangzhi beside her.

After a while, Sang Zhi took out a stack of silver bills and handed it to An Muxi.

"I brought a lot of stuff with me this time, but unfortunately I encountered an assassination on the way and lost some of it in the chaos. I don't have much silver left, so I'll give you 5,000 taels first."

An Muxi was stunned. Five thousand taels! She really made a fortune this time. As expected of a princess who is the crown princess of a country, she was generous.

Then Dai Meng said, "Take this jade pendant. If you have the opportunity to go to Tianyue Country in the future, you can come to me. I will definitely repay you well."

An Muxi took the jade pendant handed over by Dai Meng. It was a round jade pendant with a phoenix pattern. It felt cool to the touch and was carved from a piece of top-quality jade.

"Princess, you are too polite. Saving you is just a piece of cake. It doesn't cost that much. I feel ashamed of it."

Dai Meng said seriously: "I am the crown prince of Tianyue Kingdom. Isn't my life worth five thousand taels of silver?"

An Muxi knew that it would be a bit fake to refuse again. So she accepted the banknote and jade pendant with peace of mind.

"Then I will obey your command. I will make a few more bottles of pills for you to protect yourself later."

"That's great. Your medical skills are no worse than those old guys in the Imperial Hospital. Why would you commit yourself to working in the backyard of Prince Rui?

Do you really like him that much?"

An Muxi was speechless, so she had to tell her original tragic experience again.

Dai Meng said with regret: "It's a pity that you are already married. If you were still single and came back to Tianyue Country with me, you would treat me and I would take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. It would be great."

An Muxi wanted to beat her chest and stamp her feet. Why didn't she travel through time to the Tianyue Kingdom's palace? Women were in charge there, and she could show her skills too.

Alas, it's all tears if I talk too much. I can only smile awkwardly: "His Royal Highness Prince Rui is actually quite nice to me.

But if I am divorced one day, can I go to Tianyue Country to seek refuge with you?"

Dai Meng laughed: "It seems that you don't divorce your wife easily here, oh, I forgot that you are a concubine."

An Muxi: Thank you for your reminder.

"Don't mind it. What I mean is that from what I understand, women here don't usually divorce unless they make a big mistake and are kicked out of the house, right?"

An Muxi still didn't tell Li Rui about how she had detoxified him in exchange for his freedom. After all, this involved Li Rui's secret.

Dai Meng suddenly remembered something: "By the way, will you accompany me to the palace tomorrow?"

An Muxi was startled: "What are you doing in the palace?"

"Emperor Tiansheng held a welcome banquet for me. It is said that officials above the fifth rank can bring their families to attend."

That's how it is, but An Muxi doesn't really like to join in the fun. Where there are a lot of people, there are a lot of gossips.

She's been in so much trouble lately that she doesn't really want to go.

So he declined politely, saying, "I am not qualified to enter the palace with my status, so forget it."

Dai Meng insisted, "You are my lifesaver, how can you not be qualified? I will tell Emperor Tiansheng.

Besides, I don't know anyone here except you and Princess Rui. It would be so boring if you don't go there.

Don’t you want to go see what the palace looks like?”

The last sentence successfully touched An Muxi. She was a person who couldn't sit still, and she was really curious about what the palace looked like.

So he accepted Dai Meng's invitation.

Dai Meng suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Now that I'm well again, I want to go see my An An!"

An Muxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This woman was really a love-brained person. However, she envied her character of daring to love and hate.

"If you go out, be careful, don't overexert yourself, and don't resort to violence. Your body is just beginning to recover."

Dai Meng nodded in agreement and told the maid to quickly wash and dress her up.

Dai Meng hurriedly took the carriage out of the Prince Rui's Mansion. When the carriage arrived at the Fang Cun Jian Zhi Bookstore on West Street, Dai Meng asked the maids to wait outside and went in.

Shopkeeper Sun recognized Dai Meng at once. Her appearance and dress were completely different from those of the people from Tiansheng, so she was very easy to recognize.

Dai Meng smiled and asked, "Boss, is your boss here?"

Shopkeeper Sun also knew that this person was of extraordinary status, and he replied respectfully: "The boss is on the second floor. I wonder what you want to see him for?"

Dai Meng thought about it, I couldn’t just say that I liked him and come over to tease him, right?

So I had to say, "I came to thank him for his help last time. Please help me report it."

The shopkeeper could only go up and report to Li Yian, and soon he came down and asked Dai Meng to go up.

Dai Meng went upstairs happily. She had been named the Crown Princess since she was a child, and the people of Tianyue Country were open-minded, with women respected. She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with actively looking for a man.

She walked in and saw Li Yian sitting at a desk behind the screen with a book in front of him.

He was making tea, and his every move exuded an air of elegance and refinement, which made Dai Meng's heart pound.

There were many handsome men in her mother's palace, but none of them looked so otherworldly, like an immortal in a painting.

Li Yian already knew that Dai Meng was coming, so he could only do his best to be a good host and make her a pot of tea to entertain the guest.

Seeing Dai Meng had already walked up to him, he simply said, "I didn't know the Crown Princess was coming, so I didn't prepare anything. I can only entertain her with a pot of tea. Please forgive me."

After saying that, he poured a cup, held it up and handed it to Dai Meng. Dai Meng quickly reached out to take it, and excitedly touched Li Yian's hand.

Li Yian froze and quickly withdrew his hand.
