Jing Zhichen always thought that Xu Xingyin was angry with him and didn't want to see him, but who would have thought that he was really sick. He felt very upset and couldn't help but scold him.

"Nonsense! Even though he is so seriously ill, he still refuses to allow Mr. Huaigu to come. The Crown Princess is ignorant, and so are you?"

Mei Hanrui knelt on the ground and argued aggrievedly: "The Crown Princess said that there are many injured people this time, and she is afraid that Mr. Huaigu will not have enough energy, so he should give priority to taking care of those who are seriously injured. It's just a minor cold anyway, there's no need for Mr. Huaigu to be a great god."

"boom--"

Jing Zhichen slapped the small table next to him, and it shattered.

Among the injured people this time, the one who made Xu Xingyin so worried was probably Lu Xu!

Jing Zhichen's reaction frightened everyone so much that they kowtowed again, not even daring to breathe. Finally, Du Huaigu, who came after hearing the news, broke the deadlock.

Du Huaigu felt Xu Xingyin's pulse and frowned:

"It is true that she has caught a cold and has not recovered yet. It is not a serious illness. If it is delayed for a long time, it will inevitably consume her energy and blood. It's okay. I will prescribe some medicine for the Crown Princess to take. She will be fine after the fever subsides. But I am afraid that the Crown Princess has fallen asleep and cannot drink the medicine. This is not good."

Dan Feng was so anxious that he turned around and around, "What should I do now?"

"Ahem, this is beyond the doctor's scope of diagnosis and treatment."

Du Huaigu coughed twice and replied embarrassedly, "I think the Crown Princess must be entangled in a nightmare. If someone familiar can help her, perhaps the current situation can be alleviated."

"Someone you know?"

Dan Feng thought about it carefully, and immediately looked at Jing Zhichen, "Your Highness, please accompany the Crown Princess! You haven't come to see her these days, and she doesn't allow us to invite you. It's been so painful for us servants to watch."

Jing Zhichen was about to speak when Du Huaigu interrupted him.

"This familiar person should be someone who has been with me since childhood."

"I understand." Jing Zhichen glanced at Du Huaigu, waved his wide sleeves and went to the back.

The people from the Zhennan General's Mansion were sitting in the carriages at the back. Jing Zhichen strode over and stopped directly in front of Old Madam Chen's carriage.

Jing Zhichen has always been very polite in his attitude towards the Zhennan General's Mansion, but today he didn't care about that and directly informed Old Madam Chen about Xu Xingyin's high fever and asked Old Madam Chen to go and comfort Xu Xingyin.

Xu Xingyin was raised by Old Madam Chen since she was a child. If we talk about this familiar person, there is probably no one more suitable than her.

Old Madam Chen thought for a moment, but did not agree. Instead, she told Jing Zhichen the name of a maid, saying that this maid also grew up with Xu Xingyin since childhood.

Old Madam Chen refused to go, and Jing Zhichen could guess the reason.

As they were about to enter the capital, the people in the Zhennan General's Mansion should not get too close to the Eastern Palace, otherwise it would be disadvantageous to both sides.

Jing Zhichen didn't think much about it. After thanking Old Madam Chen, he ordered someone to bring the maid named "Jiuxuan" over.

Jiuxuan is a born child in the general's mansion. His mother is his aunt who has always served Old Madam Chen. Because he is about the same age as Xu Xingyin, he grew up with Xu Xingyin since childhood.

It was only because her mother couldn't bear to leave her daughter that she had been working in Old Madam Chen's yard. Otherwise, she would have been sent to Xu Xingyin long ago.

When it comes to understanding, no one else can compare to Jiuxuan, who has grown up together since childhood.

After watching Jiuxuan get into the carriage, Jing Zhichen and Du Huaigu went to a secluded place. Du Huaigu and Jing Zhichen had known each other for many years, and Jing Zhichen was so familiar with Du Huaigu's expression that he could tell if he was hiding something.

Du Huaigu naturally knew this, so he told the truth.

"The Crown Princess was probably poisoned. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to have caught a cold. The combination of the two eliminated the effects of the poison, so she only had a few mild symptoms left - nightmares."

"What kind of poison? Is it serious?"

"It looks like the poison from the Western Regions. The remaining toxins can be removed with a bowl of medicine. Right now, it's just that the nightmare is a bit annoying. If Miss Jiuxuan can't make the Crown Princess relax, I'm afraid you'll have to ask Your Highness to ask Old Madam Chen to come and try again."

Du Huaigu said a few words to comfort her, then changed the subject, "I didn't say it just now because I didn't want to alert the enemy. In your opinion, who poisoned me?"

"The most likely person is naturally the female doctor, and the second is the person who serves her personally."

When Jing Zhichen said this, his eyes darkened, and he asked again: "Has Mei Hanrui been close to the Crown Princess in the past few days?"

Du Huaigu shook his head. "After all, she was the one who betrayed the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess herself would be disgusted by her. If her sister had not died because of the Crown Princess, the Crown Princess would not have brought her back to the capital. Everyone knows this, so they just treat Mei Hanrui as a guest, never let her do any work, and never let her get close to the Crown Princess."

Jing Zhichen nodded thoughtfully, "We must be on guard. Check all the servants around the Crown Princess. Also, give the female doctor five strokes of the cane as a minor punishment, let her go, and have someone follow her."

Just as Du Huaigu was about to open his mouth to refute, he saw Ao Ying hurrying over with a happy look on his face.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess has woken up and said she wants to see you!"

In the blink of an eye, there was no trace of that person in front of him. Du Huaigu sighed and said helplessly.

"Shouldn't this matter be assigned to Aoying and the others? They really don't treat me as an outsider!"

On the other side, Jing Zhichen rushed into the carriage. Xu Xingyin was half leaning on the small couch, his face looked much thinner than usual.

"Your Highness."

Xu Xingyin called out softly, her voice a little hoarse, which made Jing Zhichen feel uncomfortable.

"Is the fever gone?" He subconsciously reached out and touched her forehead. "Not bad."

Xu Xingyin was so shocked by Jing Zhichen's subconscious action that his eyes widened. It took him a while to react and he lowered his head slightly.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I heard that it was Your Highness who invited the doctor and Jiuxuan to come. I am very grateful."

"So, you called me here just to thank you?"

Xu Xingyin nodded obediently, and then she saw the man approaching her, grabbing her chin with one hand, and speaking in a low voice.

"Nothing else?"

Xu Xingyin's mind was still a little confused. He looked at Jing Zhichen with wide eyes like a frightened deer and whispered softly:

"Your Highness... Your Highness?"

"Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"

He stared at her without blinking, his slightly furrowed brows concealing a sharp edge, and a hint of bitterness could be heard in his words as cold as the wind.

"You would rather check it yourself, listen to others, or ponder the reasons, but you are unwilling to ask me in person?"

Jing Zhichen spoke so bluntly that even if Xu Xingyin was dumb, he could guess what Jing Zhichen was talking about.
