Southern Palace.

Xiao Yuehan was busy in the clinic.

Li'er was helping her. She was making pills and powder, boiling them on the small charcoal stove.

The ointment obtained after boiling is sealed in a small porcelain jar.

The medicines that Zi Sangyu needed to take were also prepared and wrapped in oil paper.

In a jar filled with rice, there is a medicinal diet mixed with various ingredients such as corn, lily, lotus seeds, dates, apricots, etc.

This has been going on for several days.

Li'er watched Shangguan and the servant in the pharmacy busy every day, and also helped her find the herbs and ingredients she needed.

Then there were bags of herbs, jars of ointments, packets of powders, and two large jars of medicinal food.

The prince would come to the pharmacy every day after court to serve tea and desserts. He even took care of Qiao'er and Ling'er's affairs.

Why are you preparing so much? Are you going on a long journey?

Shangguan's puzzled eyes swept across Xiao Yuehan's serious and focused face several times. He wanted to ask, but was afraid of being rude.

But he always felt something was wrong.

That day, he said to Master Ning, "It's been a few days, and the princess has been busy in the pharmacy."

Then he took him to the inner room and pointed at the piles of prepared medicinal materials, medicated foods, and medicine jars.

"Look at it, we have prepared so much. It used to take three days to prepare, but now look at it."

Master Ning looked at the neatly stacked medicinal herbs and fell into deep thought.

"Did the princess say she was going on a long journey?"

“No, never said that.

I just do these things every day. I asked Li'er, but she didn't do anything like packing her luggage."

“Perhaps it was because I was summoned to the palace by the Emperor this time, and the incident happened suddenly, so after I came back, I felt a sense of crisis.

If you are well prepared in advance, you won't be caught off guard if something happens. I think that's the way it should be.

We also discuss matters with the prince every day.

I have never heard the prince mention any travel plans."

"That's good." Shangguan let out a long sigh: "I was afraid that the princess's return this time would be short-lived, and she might have to go back to the palace, so I made preparations in advance."

Master Ning frowned and said, "Logically, the princess shouldn't enter the palace again, but now that you mention it, I think it's not impossible."

"Ask the prince?"

“No need, the prince will tell us what he should tell us, and we shouldn’t ask about what he shouldn’t tell us.

The prince and princess are both sensible in what they do."

Shangguan felt that what Mr. Ning said made sense, and went back to his work of preparing and boiling medicine.

Young Master Ning was thinking about something.

The princess stayed in the palace for quite some time.

One of them was pushed into the lotus pond by the Crown Princess because she was helping Concubine Hua to detoxify her. Would this cause Concubine Hua to be dissatisfied with the Crown Princess?

Was the Crown Princess instructed to do this? Or was she just seeking revenge?

I heard that the Crown Princess was not punished by the Emperor and the Crown Prince for this incident.

He looked at Xiao Yuehan's busy figure with a serious look on his face.

The princess's 49 days in the palace did not seem peaceful.

The people around him are all scheming and meticulous, which is a world apart from the Nanwang Mansion.

The prince must also know the secret.

While I was thinking about the prince, I saw his tall figure returning from court.

Zi Sangyu sat beside him, watching his eyes follow Xiao Yuehan, his face solemn.

Nor said anything.

The two of them drank tea one after another, watching the busy people in the pharmacy.

Xiao Yuehan saw the two of them sitting there doing nothing, and wiped the beads of sweat from their foreheads with the silk handkerchief in his hand.

His expression was relaxed and his words were calm: "How serious, both of you."

As she said this, she picked up the teacup that Zi Sangyu handed her and sat down.

"What is the princess busy with?" Master Ning raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Busy preparing the medicine that the prince will take, as well as the pills and powders that I will use."

“Do I need to prepare so much?”

"Yes, it's better to be prepared."

Master Ning turned his gaze to Zi Sangyu and stared at him: "Really? Your Majesty."

Zi Sangyu played with the teacup in his hand.

A deep and powerful male voice said, “This time, the princess was detoxifying in the palace, but she was seduced by the queen and Concubine Hua.

They were attracted by the princess's ability to use medicine and antidotes.

We have now agreed to the Queen's request and joined her camp.

The queen worked hard for several years to get the poison, but the princess had detoxified it, so she came up with this plan.

Before the princess left the palace, Concubine Hua had been poisoned. This drug takes effect once a month. It is estimated that in a few days, the emperor will summon the princess to the palace again to detoxify Concubine Hua.

This time, it won’t be as easy as forty-nine days, so the princess has to prepare my medicine and the medicine she will use in the palace.

Because no one can tell whether someone in the palace also poisoned the princess.

It’s just that the princess knows the antidote, so I feel relieved, but I still have to be prepared.”

"We want them to fight first, and when both are hurt, we will attack."

"Yes." Zi Sangyu lowered her eyes on the tea: "It would be best if the two of them fought each other. These two have deep influence in the palace, and their minions are also intertwined.

I hope this will be a good opportunity for us to defeat them. I'm sorry, Princess."

As he spoke, he looked up at Xiao Yuehan, the pain in his eyes making him misty again.

Xiao Yuehan placed her hand in his palm, her face as calm as snow: "These are what I should do.

As a princess and a member of the prince's family, the prince's affairs are my affairs, and my affairs are the prince's affairs.

So, whenever you need me, I will step forward.

Also, Your Majesty, don’t worry about me. Don’t you go to court every day? We can see each other every day.”

Then he pointed at Master Ning and said, "And they, too, you'll often see them in the palace."

"Oh, right." Zi Sangyu said, "I have basically found all the people Uncle Shen gave me who were in this palace.

They are also our strength.”

"I don't need to make any big moves in the palace, I can just use the medicine quietly.

I am now working for the Queen. Concubine Hua asked me to deal with the Queen using the same method as she did.

I was thinking that I could also take action and let both of them be infected with the poison, and then I would mediate and look for opportunities.

It would be great if they could both suffer losses."

"Are you okay?" Zishangyu looked worried.

"I can do it, don't worry.

Besides, they were the ones looking for trouble, so I had no choice but to fight back and return double what they had given me.

I will not sit still and wait for death. Besides, there is the Queen Mother."

As she spoke, she calmed herself down and said, "As for Xiao Yuewan, I will also make her responsible for pushing me into the lotus pond. I won't just let it go like this."

Her determination made Zi Sangyu and Master Ning admire her.

The two men shed tears. When they were fighting, they always faced everything calmly.

Now, the little girl in front of him is fighting a powerful opponent alone in the palace, and the key is that she can be so confident and fearless.

They were determined to face the journey head on no matter how far or how difficult it was.
