"Why are you so distant?"

Madam Lu smiled and said, "I was wondering why Chen'er had no intention of getting married. She is waiting for you! Tsk tsk, what a perfect match!"

Xu Xingyin's smile froze and he quietly tugged at Jing Zhichen's sleeve, his attitude of asking for help couldn't be more obvious.

Jing Zhichen had watched enough of the show, so he spoke leisurely.

"Grandma, let's go in first."

"Good good!"

Old Madam Lu finally let Xu Xingyin go and entered the mansion with Jing Zhichen and Xu Xingyin.

As soon as he stepped into the main hall, Madam Lu looked at Xu Xingyin with a smile and asked.

"What is this, Miss Xu?"

“They are all medicinal herbs.”

Xu Xingyin answered honestly, but then felt something was wrong, so he quickly said, "It's medicinal herbs for His Highness to replenish his body."

"Oh, what a sweet girl!"

Old Mrs. Lu reached out to take the medicine bag and stuffed it all into the hands of the maid next to her.

"Go! Get on with it!"

The maid was caught off guard and accidentally dropped the top bag to the ground.

The medicine bag had already become loose after the previous movement, and now it fell apart after being dropped.

The maid was so scared that she immediately knelt down, "This servant didn't mean it, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Jing Zhichen's handsome eyebrows were furrowed into a small mountain, and he waved his hand impatiently.

"Send someone to clean it up, and go down."

"Yes!" The maid immediately stood up and retreated.

It seems that Jing Zhichen is not easy to serve.

Just look at the way the maid rolled and crawled at the end and you can tell that she must have been very scared.

Xu Xingyin was speculating secretly in his heart, but Madam Lu focused her attention on the scattered medicine bags and asked suspiciously.

"Chrysanthemum can also nourish the body?"

Xu Xingyin scratched his earlobe unnaturally and answered guiltily.

"Yeah... yeah, to relieve heat."

Upon hearing this, Madam Lu smiled meaningfully, her eyes fell on Jing Zhichen, and said with a smile.

"Chrysanthemum is gentle and refreshing, and is indeed a good thing for reducing internal heat."

"..."

Jing Zhichen's ears turned red uncontrollably. He turned his head away in despair to avoid Madam Lu's sight, and gritted his teeth as he looked at a girl with a confused face.

Then he added viciously: "If you can't speak, shut up!"

Xu Xingyin blinked aggrievedly. How had he offended this old man?

Although Xu Xingyin felt that Jing Zhichen was a person who was likely to make trouble out of nothing, fortunately, her greatest strength was that she was obedient.

In the second half, she pretended to be shy, keeping her head down and keeping silent.

Jing Zhichen also took the initiative to take the task of talking to Old Madam Lu. Until the two of them sent Old Madam Lu to the carriage, Xu Xingyin did not say much.

After seeing off Madam Lu, Jing Zhichen's expression changed. He lifted his robe and walked into the East Palace.

Xu Xingyin didn't care about his face anymore and followed him.

The East Palace is even more magnificent than the villa we visited last time. Xu Xingyin followed behind Jing Zhichen and hesitated for a while before starting with some meaningless words.

"Mrs. Lu is in such good spirits."

"Ah."

"You can tell at first glance that he is in good health. For an old man, nothing is more important than being healthy."

"Ah."

"Actually, I came here today to bring medicine to His Highness. Last time, His Highness was seriously injured. I wonder if he is feeling better now?"

"Ah."

"..."

Xu Xingyin rolled his eyes silently, then curled his lips and changed the subject.

"In fact, I think the old lady just wants to see you get married, but you lied to her like this, which is not good."

When the man walking in front heard this, he finally reacted. He paused and finally said something other than "hmm".

"Your marriage was originally arranged by our mother, how can it be considered a lie?"

Xu Xingyin didn't pay attention and bumped into Jing Zhichen's back.

He staggered back two steps, covering his forehead, and retorted with a pout.

"You should let Yang Mingxue go see the old lady."

The moment he heard Yang Mingxue's name, Jing Zhichen suddenly turned around and lowered his head to meet Xu Xingyin's gaze. His eyes seemed to be filled with vast snow, and were extremely cold.

"Why do you know Mingxue?"

Meeting such a cold look, Xu Xingyin was somewhat frightened and speechless for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Who is Yang Mingxue?

A woman who was often scolded in the General Zhennan's Mansion.

Because Xu Xingyin and Jing Zhichen had been engaged since childhood, when Xu Xingyin was ten years old, General Zhennan began to send people to the capital to secretly find out everything about Jing Zhichen.

Yang Mingxue is one of Jing Zhichen's secrets.

Yang Mingxue is two years younger than Jing Zhichen, and they are cousins ​​in a complicated relationship, so Jing Zhichen has to call Yang Mingxue "Cousin Mingxue".

Everyone knows that this pair of cousins ​​have a very good relationship. Only people in the Zhennan General's Mansion know that Jing Zhichen likes Yang Mingxue, and Yang Mingxue also likes Jing Zhichen.

Therefore, Yang Mingxue, whom he had never met, became the evil woman who "ruined people's marriages" in the Zhennan General's Mansion, and a vixen who always lived in people's spit.

Yang Mingxue is both talented and beautiful, and is a well-known talented woman in the capital.

Since she reached the age of 15, there have been so many people proposing marriage to her that they have worn out the doorstep, but she has still not married at this age.

He must be waiting for Jing Zhichen!

But the strange thing is that Jing Zhichen abided by the rules and did not go to propose marriage, and he has survived until he is almost adulthood.

Not to mention getting a wife, he doesn't even have a concubine.

It was also because of this that Xu Xingyin was inexplicably taken the blame, and the prince was instead given a reputation for being "a man of noble character, and one who values ​​friendship and loyalty."

Thinking of this, Xu Xingyin became very angry.

Thinking again, Jing Zhichen might have investigated him before, so he straightened his back and answered directly.

"My grandfather investigated you because of our marriage."

Jing Zhichen probably didn't expect Xu Xingyin to be so frank. He was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and replied rather unnaturally.

"Audacity."

Xu Xingyin curled her lips and pretended not to hear, "Let's not dwell on the past. Your Highness is magnanimous and forgiving. I know that."

Jing Zhichen was too lazy to argue with Xu Xingyin and withdrew his gaze indifferently.

I thought that this guy was very good at flattering others and he spoke better than he sang.

Seeing that Jing Zhichen was no longer angry, Xu Xingyin breathed a sigh of relief. He was too lazy to beat around the bush with him and went straight to the point with a smile.

"To be honest, I came here today to ask for a favor."

Jing Zhichen silently said to himself, "You are being nice for no reason," and then responded in a very righteous manner.

"Well, I don't want to owe you a favor."

Xu Xingyin pretended not to understand the sarcasm in Jing Zhichen's words and spoke briefly and to the point.

"My second sister was injured, so I came to ask Mr. Huaigu for a box of scar removal medicine. In addition, I also want a box of itching powder."

"Itch powder?"

Jing Zhichen raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Xu Xingyin with a half-smile, "What bad thing is Miss Xu going to do next?"

Xu Xingyin shrugged, "It's just a tooth for a tooth."

"alright."

"Thank you, Your Highness."
