Chapter 290: Free Medicine (2 chapters merged into 1 chapter)

In addition, Lin Shuyue also pulled out a hundred-year-old ginseng from the medicinal field.

Even though it is only a hundred years old, its medicinal properties are much better than the hundred-year-old ginseng available in the market.

After preparing the most important things, she also prepared a gift for Xiao Yatong.

After confirming that everything was correct, he took another look at the three little Snowmen. Seeing that they were still sleeping, he sighed and left the space.

The next day, Lin Shuyue set out for the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion with the things she had prepared the night before.

The royal nobles in the capital were basically concentrated in Chong'anfang, Chongningfang and Chongwenfang in the east city. The Zhennan Palace was located in Chong'anfang.

After arriving at the gate of Zhennan Palace, Lin Shuyue was stunned when she got off the carriage. The gate of the palace was indeed magnificent.

The main gate has three bays, and the vermilion door is inlaid with gold edges. A black golden nanmu plaque hangs on the top of the gate, and the plaque is inscribed with "Zhennan Palace".

There is a stone lion guarding each side of the gate, and the green glazed tiles on the roof are particularly eye-catching in the sun.

Qinghe handed the visiting card to one of the doormen, who nodded politely at her, then spoke to another doorman and went in to report.

Not long after, a neatly dressed old woman came out. When she saw Lin Shuyue, she stepped forward and bowed with a smile.

This old woman was Madam Liu, the housekeeper of the Crown Prince's wife. Madam Liu led Lin Shuyue into the mansion, while Qinghe and Qingzhi followed behind with gift boxes in their hands.

The palace was far more magnificent and spectacular than she had imagined. The various exquisite pavilions, rockery courtyards, and flowing water dazzled her.

After walking for about a cup of tea, Mother Liu brought her to the flower hall in the front yard, where the Crown Prince's wife and Xiao Yatong were both present. As soon as she entered, she was led to a seat by the Crown Prince's wife, Mei, before she had time to greet them.

"You are here, kid. Tong'er knew you were coming yesterday and was so excited that she ate two bowls of rice."

"Mother~"

Xiao Yatong pouted shyly, and her chubby little face was tinged with shyness.

Lin Shuyue couldn't help but gently pinch her little face, and took a box from Qinghe's hand and stuffed it into her hand, "This is a gift that sister prepared for Tong'er, Tong'er, open it and see if you like it."

Xiao Yatong glanced at Mei and only opened the box when she nodded. Inside was a set of jewelry made of pink crystal, including a pair of bracelets, a pair of earrings, and a hairpin. They were very delicate. The key point was that the bracelets looked like those worn by a child.

"Wow…"

Xiao Yatong exclaimed, then smiled with her eyebrows curved and the dimples in her mouth were so cute.

"Ayue, this gift of yours has touched the heart of this girl. Don't you know that even though she is young, she is very cute and beautiful."

The Crown Prince's wife, Mrs. Mei, looked at her daughter's reluctant look and joked with Lin Shuyue.

Such beautiful jewelry is obviously imported. A Yue is thoughtful.

"Tong'er, why don't you thank your sister Yue quickly?"

Xiao Yatong carefully put the bracelet back into the box and smiled sweetly at Lin Shuyue.

"Thank you, Sister Yue!"

Lin Shuyue chuckled and said, "You're welcome. Our Tong'er is so smart and sensible, she deserves to be dressed up beautifully!

After chatting for a while, the Crown Prince's wife took Lin Shuyue to Rong'an Hall where the old prince lived next to the front yard.

When she met the old prince, Lin Shuyue was a little surprised. She had thought that the old prince had led troops in battles for many years and must have a majestic aura and be a serious elder. But who would have thought that he was such an amiable old man.

Because of his mobility problems, the old prince spoke to her while sitting in a wheelchair. He kindly asked about her family situation, her experience on the way to Beijing, and her future plans.

When the old prince heard that Lin Shuyue planned to go to the north, a look of nostalgia appeared on his face. However, she did not miss the quick flash of fierceness in the old prince's eyes.

After talking with the old prince for half an hour and seeing that he looked a little tired, he took out the rejuvenation pills and hundred-year-old ginseng that he had prepared, squatted down and showed them to him one by one.

"Grandpa Heng, this is the elixir my master gave me before. It's called the Rejuvenation Pill and is very effective for old injuries. Also, keep this hundred-year-old ginseng."

Upon hearing this, the old prince Xiao Heng immediately became interested. He had just heard the girl A Yue praising her master a lot.

He took the jade bottle, opened it and looked inside, only to find a pill the size of a soybean, with a faint medicinal fragrance lingering around his nose.

Then he took the ginseng, looked at it carefully, smelled it, and the next moment he showed a look of surprise.

He patted Lin Shuyue's hand gently and said in a gentle voice: "Ayue, these are all good things. It would be a waste to give them to an old man like me."

"Grandpa Heng, only the good things are given to you. I can't bear to give them to others. This is Ah Yue's gift to you.

Besides, you gave me such a good farm before. If you don’t accept it, I don’t want it anymore.”

Lin Shuyue blinked playfully. What she said was the truth. She would not give to others easily unless they exchanged for good things.

The Crown Prince's wife also advised, "Dad, please accept it. This is a token of Ah Yue's love."

She didn't know what the elixir was like, but she knew at a glance that the ginseng was better than the 300-year-old ginseng that the emperor had given her as a reward.

Such a good thing will definitely help her father-in-law's health. She has always hoped that her father-in-law can live a long life.

If her father-in-law thinks it's too expensive and A Yue is at a disadvantage, the worst that can happen is that she will give A Yue some good things in private.

The old prince looked at Lin Shuyue who was looking at him eagerly, then looked at his daughter-in-law, and had no choice but to nod and accept it.

"Okay, old man, I'll keep it. Ah Yue is very thoughtful."

After saying that, he asked Lin Shuyue to bring him a glass of water, poured out the pill and was about to swallow it.

Steward Wang, who had been standing respectfully by the side, suddenly had his eyelids twitched and quickly said, "My Lord, would you like to ask Imperial Doctor Liu to take a look first?"

"Don't, that old guy is just like a cat seeing a mouse when he sees a good thing, don't let him snatch it away."

The old prince shook his head and said this, with the disgust on his face not too obvious.

After saying that, he quickly put the pill into his mouth. Just as he was about to drink a sip of water to take the medicine in, he found that the medicine melted in his mouth. He felt a warm current flowing down his throat into his body.

His stuff was so quick that Steward Wang had no time to reach out. Seeing that the prince had already taken the medicine, he could only walk forward and stare at the prince with a nervous face.

The Crown Prince's wife did not expect her father-in-law to act so quickly, and she could not help but stare at her father-in-law with a frown.

Lin Shuyue also stared at the old prince without blinking. This was the first time she gave the rejuvenation pill to someone else and she didn't know how long it would take for it to take effect.

After taking the medicine, the old prince closed his eyes, his face as calm as before, but he was actually shocked in his heart.

Because he could clearly feel that after taking the medicine, the old wound on his back from the shoulder to the waist felt numb and warm.

In addition, his legs were warm from the soles of his feet to his knees, as if he had strength.

Could this really be a panacea?

However, Ah Yue is too kind-hearted...

He opened his eyes, looked at a few people with a smile, and joked: "Why are you all looking at an old man like me like this? It won't work so quickly."

"Wanjun, you still have a lot of things to do, go ahead and do them first. Ah Yue can stay here and talk to me.

By the way, we will have lunch here too, and ask Tong Er to come over then."

When the Crown Prince's wife Mei Wanjun saw that her father-in-law had a rosy complexion, she felt relieved and left with Xiao Yatong without thinking too much.

As soon as Mei Wanjun left, the old prince asked the servants to go out and asked Steward Wang to guard the door. Then he looked at Lin Shuyue who was looking puzzled.

"Grandpa Heng, how do you feel now?"

Looking at the rosy complexion, it should be starting to work.

The old prince nodded, and told her about the changes in his body and his feelings. After that, he pointed his finger at her and said, "Silly girl, why did you just take out such a good thing?

Besides, this is our first meeting, aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy and that's why I'm targeting you?"

Lin Shuyue felt warm in her heart, then blinked her eyes, and said seriously: "Grandpa Heng, I didn't take it out casually, I won't give it to others.

Moreover, in order to protect tens of millions of people on the northern border, you led the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army to fight bravely without fear of life and death and drove the Turks away.

Later, you guarded the cold and bitter north for decades and made great contributions to the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How could you be a bad person?"

"You, you..."

The old prince smiled helplessly, "No one is perfect. Even the best and most upright people will waver when faced with enough temptations."

"Ayue, don't test people's hearts!"

"Grandpa Heng, I know you are doing this for my own good, and I am very grateful that you can say this to me.

But don't worry, since I dare to take it out, I must be prepared to bear the consequences. Ah Yue is not afraid!"

Lin Shuyue looked into the old prince's eyes. Her gaze was firm and bright. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing a confident and ostentatious smile.

The old prince was shocked at first, but then he looked satisfied. He smiled and nodded, "Not bad, I didn't expect Ah Yue to be so insightful. What a good child."

Lin Shuyue lowered her head shyly. She felt a little embarrassed to be praised by her idol.

Afterwards, the grandfather and grandson talked about things in the north, with the old prince talking and Lin Shuyue listening.

For example, how to beat the Turks into a pulp, how to launch a surprise attack on the Turks, and what local specialties are there in the north. They kept chatting until it was almost time for lunch, when they stopped because they were still not satisfied.

The little girl Xiao Yatong was brought to Rong'an Hall by her nanny Zhuang Mama. When she saw Lin Shuyue, she pouted her lips, and her chubby face clearly showed "I'm angry!"

Lin Shuyue's heart was melted by her cuteness, and she couldn't help but rub her little chubby face.

Wow...so bouncy and smooth. I really want to take a bite.

“Sister…” Xiao Yatong’s neck turned red with shyness, but her little mouth couldn’t help but turn up.

After accompanying the old prince to have lunch, she told him to rest more and remember to ask the imperial physician to see him. If there was no problem, she would ask the imperial physician about the dosage of ginseng.

The old prince didn't feel annoyed listening to her chatter. After she finished her instructions, he childishly asked Lin Shuyue to visit him often before she left Beijing, otherwise he would not call the imperial physician.

Lin Shuyue agreed with a smile, and then took Xiao Yatong to find the prince's wife.

After she left, the old prince put away his smile and glanced at the silent Steward Wang, "From today on, you must keep a close eye on the people in the courtyard and control their mouths. No information about my physical condition can be leaked to anyone."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Steward Wang said respectfully, and after thinking for a moment, he bravely asked, "Your Majesty, I see that your complexion seems to have improved a lot. Is this medicine really effective?"

"You old slave, you have sharp eyes."

The old prince was in a good mood. He slowly stood up with his hands on the handles of the wheelchair, and then walked a few steps slowly on the ground.

"Your Highness, are you...are you really well? Your legs don't tremble when you walk anymore!"

Steward Wang's eyes widened, his old face flushed with excitement. You know, the prince's legs were shaking when he stood up in the morning. Although he walked slowly now, every step was very steady.

The old prince sat back in his wheelchair and said in a serious tone, "This is why I asked you to keep a close eye on the people in the courtyard. The pills that A Yue gave are too amazing. Once leaked, A Yue will be in trouble."

Upon hearing this, Steward Wang immediately knelt down and promised earnestly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will keep an eye on the people in the yard and will not let Miss Yue get into any trouble."

"Well, as for the Crown Prince's wife, I will find a chance to talk to her."

The old prince asked him to get up, and then said: "Push me back to the room. Ah Yue said that the more you rest, the better your body will be."

"Yes…"

Lin Shuyue played with Xiao Yatong in the Crown Prince's wife's yard for a long time, and then talked with the Crown Prince's wife for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.

When he returned to the carriage after leaving the palace, Lin Shuyue lifted the curtain and looked up at the plaque above the gate again, thinking to himself: The Zhennan Palace is indeed very grand, much larger than the Qin Palace, but it is too deserted.

The old prince had only one son, Uncle Nian, and Uncle Nian and the Crown Prince's wife had two sons and one daughter.

She had met the eldest son Xiao Yizi, but had not met the second son Xiao Lingzhi. However, both sons were studying in the Imperial College, so she did not meet them today.

In addition, she only found out today that Uncle Nian also had a concubine who gave birth to a son and a daughter, a boy and a girl, who were only five years old.

This situation is considered a sparse population in this era.

However, she found that the family tradition of Prince Zhennan was indeed good. When the Crown Prince's wife mentioned the concubine, her expression was very calm, and it was not as chaotic as in other mansions.

At this time, Lin Shuyue was sitting in the carriage with her thoughts flying, but she didn't know that an uninvited guest had come to the mansion and brought something she had been thinking about.

…………

In Chongningfang, Princess Pingyang's residence, Princess Shengyang was still dressed in red. She glanced coldly at the woman kneeling on the ground.

"Are you saying that the bitch also knows the wife of the Crown Prince of Zhennan Palace?"

"Yes, princess. According to my investigation, she happened to save the young princess of the Zhennan Palace that afternoon after she left the Zhaixing Tower. Later, she met the Crown Prince's wife. The Crown Prince's wife came to thank her the next day and they had a very pleasant conversation."

The woman on the ground lowered her head, her voice hoarse and flat without any ups and downs.

"Oh, a little girl from the countryside has some skills. In just half a month, she climbed up to the residence of Minister Qin and the Prince of Zhennan. But she just relied on her beauty."

Princess Shengyang played with her slender jade fingers that had just been dyed with Impatiens flowers, with a look of disdain on her face.
