Ji Deshun took the exquisite box handed to him by the servant and opened it.

Upon seeing this, his eyes suddenly widened.

There were six bottles of "magic medicine" neatly arranged inside.

Ji Deshun's heart was beating like a drum, like a drumstick hitting it hard.

Now, it is difficult to find a bottle even in the surrounding areas of the capital, let alone the whole capital.

There are actually six bottles in the Yongwang Mansion!

In an instant, Ji Deshun's mind was in a whirlwind, and his awe of the Sixth Prince deepened.

He even had some doubts as to whether the Sixth Prince was really in poor health.

But he didn't dare, and he had no time to think deeply about it.

The Sixth Prince gathered his cloak and raised his hand to brush away the last bit of snow on the branches.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was unwell. I can't do anything else, so I can only do something small like this. Please, Eunuch Ji, pass it on for me."

"However," he changed the subject, "I have never liked to be in the limelight, and I don't want to leave a name for what I do. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge, so what I do is my duty, so I won't take credit in front of him."

Eunuch Ji swallowed his saliva gently and said, "Yes, I understand."

The Sixth Prince said nothing more, and the servant stepped forward and gestured, "Eunuch, I will escort you out."

Eunuch Ji bowed to the Sixth Prince and left respectfully.

Not long after, the servant came back from outside.

"Your Majesty, do you think he will give the things to the prince?"

"Of course, he has always been the one to buy these things. The prince is suspicious, and Ji Deshun has been following him for so long, so he naturally knows that these things are hard to come by now, and he will be the one to be punished if he can't find them, so why not do it?"

"Humph, this thing is not cheap. When the time comes and he says he bought it, he will definitely embezzle the money," the servant said angrily.

The Sixth Prince smiled and said, "You are such a money-grubber. You only have eyes for places like this. Let him embezzle some money. Doesn't he have a house under his name? It has three courtyards and a small garden. I heard it's very nice."

The servant nodded: "He has a lot of money in the East Palace, and he can buy a three-story house as soon as he wants."

"Just wait. His house will be given to you by the king when the time comes."

The boy was stunned.

The Sixth Prince tilted his head to look at him: "What? Are you happy and stupid? What a success."

The servant came back to his senses, his eyes reddened: "I don't want any house, I want to follow the prince, wherever the prince is, I will be there."

When the Sixth Prince heard this, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he patted him on the head: "Ghost head."

He looked up at the sky, toward the northwest.

The servant touched his head and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry. I believe you will receive the letter from the northwest in the next two days."

The Sixth Prince sighed: "If my second brother were still alive, I wouldn't have to worry about these things. I would just live a peaceful and stable life."

The servant pursed his lips and didn't dare to respond.

Ji Deshun returned to the East Palace and went to his own residence first. He opened the box. There were six bottles in total. He only took out two bottles and hid the remaining four bottles in the secret compartment.

Just as I was about to put the two bottles of medicine into my arms, I turned around and suddenly saw myself in the mirror.

He frowned slightly and put the medicine down again.

……

The prince was resting with his eyes closed. After hearing the reply from the young eunuch in front of him, he waved his hand and the young eunuch stepped aside.

Just at this moment, there were hurried footsteps outside the door. The prince turned around and saw a man rushing in with blood all over his face and dirt all over his body.

The young eunuch was shocked and stood in front of the prince, shouting "Someone come here". But as soon as he said this, he was pushed away by the person who came.

"Your Highness!"

The prince then saw clearly that the person coming was Ji Deshun.

"Ji Deshun?" The prince was surprised. "What's wrong with you?"

"You are my man, who dares to beat you like this?"

Ji De took out a porcelain bottle and a bag wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms with trembling hands.

When the prince saw the bottle, his eyes lit up and he waved his hand to let the eunuch leave.

Ji Deshun then said with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness, I went out of the palace to buy a magic medicine. Not only was it difficult to buy this time, but I also had to fight with others for the medicine and was secretly targeted. If it weren't for my good luck, I'm afraid I would have..."

"I will never see Your Highness again."

Ji Deshun put the bottle on the table while crying.

The prince looked at the wounds on his face and his torn clothes and sighed, "I am sorry to trouble you."

"Go get three hundred taels of silver later, and have the imperial physician examine you and prescribe some medicine, and also get some rolls of satin to make you some clothes."

Ji De pulled the corner of the prince's robe, tears streaming down his face: "It is my duty to serve His Royal Highness. I am willing to die for you. I dare not accept the reward. I am crying only because I am afraid that I will never see Your Highness again..."

The prince laughed angrily and kicked him lightly: "Alright, I'm fine, and you're fine too, so why can't we see each other? Just take the reward. Everyone knows that you love money, why are you pretending!"

Ji Deshun was crying and laughing, and he wiped his face with his sleeves, which made his face more injured, causing the prince to laugh as well.

Ji Deshun then brought up the handkerchief bag and said, "I bought two bottles, and when I was beaten, I tried my best to protect them, but I still dropped one bottle. I am guilty."

Upon hearing that the bottle had been broken, the prince's face changed. He opened the cloth bag and saw that there were indeed porcelain pieces inside.

I was so angry that I gritted my teeth.

"I asked you to go out and buy it before, but I didn't want to attract too much attention, so I didn't let you bring anyone with you. So, next time you go out, I will assign a team to you to protect you."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Ji Deshun kowtowed.

He folded his hands and rested his forehead on the back of his hands, but even so, he could still feel the coolness of the floor tiles, which made his mind clearer.

The prince was good to him, but...it didn't work out in the end.

The prince had no idea what he was thinking, and he twirled the tassel of the token with his fingers: "March 16th is the annual spring hunt. Go and call Su Yundong. I have something to tell him."

Ji Deshun felt a chill in his heart: "Yes."

Just as he stood up and took two steps, the prince said again: "Change your clothes and take care of the wound on your face."

"Yes."

Ji Deshun left the hall, and the prince turned his head to look out the window. The weather had cleared up, and a hint of warmth had quietly released a hint of green on the branches.

Spring is coming.

His time has come.

……

The registration book for the old city renovation was thicker than expected. Governor Cao brought the book to the door and drank three large cups of tea before he could explain the various data in it clearly.

Yan Ruyu listened and flipped through the booklet: "This booklet by Governor Cao is well made and very detailed."

Governor Cao breathed a sigh of relief, feeling at ease. To receive a word of praise from the princess, he felt that all his hard work these days was not in vain.

Governor Cao asked with a smile: "Princess, when would be the most appropriate time to announce the news?"

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, there are still some other preparations to be made. I will write a list and notify you when it is ready."

Yan Ruyu was calm and composed: "Governor Cao, don't worry. This is not something that can be done overnight. We need to do a good job of preparation and be able to deal with any unexpected situations as we move forward."

Governor Cao nodded and agreed: "What the princess said is absolutely right."

"Now that the weather is starting to warm up, spring ploughing is equally important. I wonder how the preparations are going?"
