Chapter 62 Rong Yuer's Health Improves

The embarrassing incident in the courtyard last time was still fresh in her mind. Mammy thought that Madam Duan was here to question her, so she hurried to explain: "Madam Duan, I didn't say a word about what happened in the courtyard last time. Even if I had ten guts, I wouldn't dare to do it."

Mother Duan waved her hands speechlessly: "Who asked you this? I want to ask if the Crown Prince's Consort had kept the lights on all night? Were the two maids around her waiting in the room? Did she ask you to help write anything?"

Not many people in the courtyard knew that Liu Mingyue had been punished. The nanny didn't understand what Mama Duan was referring to and shook her head.

"The Crown Prince's wife never lets us serve her. Last night, the two older girls took turns on duty as usual, but the lights in the master's room were on all night." The nanny described the situation in the yard truthfully.

"You go down." Mother Duan was silent for a while, as if thinking about something, and then let the nanny go back to do her own thing.

Mother Duan returned to the Marquis's courtyard and told the Marquis's wife the news truthfully. She thought that the book must have been copied by the Crown Princess herself.

After learning that Liu Mingyue had been up all night, Madam Hou finally put aside her suspicions and was completely satisfied with the punishment. Madam Hou had no idea that the lights in Liu Mingyue's room were actually a trick to fool her.

Such things as staying up all night and working all night long were all fake, just a trick to deceive the Marquis' wife.

In half a month, it will be autumn. The early autumn in the capital is still as hot as summer. Liu Mingyue has to put an ice basin in her room to keep cool. At this moment, the woman in gauze clothes is leaning on the soft couch, reading the newly bought novel book, feeling very free and unrestrained.

"It's a good thing that Madam thought of finding someone outside to copy it for you. Otherwise, after copying it ten times, your hand would be uncomfortable for several days even if it didn't break." Peanut complained blandly that the Marquis's wife was used to making things difficult for her master.

Liu Mingyue just smiled and said nothing. If Huasheng knew who copied the ten copies of the women's rings, he would probably be shocked.

Back in the cold palace, after confirming that there was no problem with the prescription, Rong Yuer began to take the medicine according to Bai Ziyu's doctor's instructions.

On the first day of taking the medicine, Rong Yuer noticed subtle changes in her body. The changes were subtle, but for someone who had been suffering from diarrhea for a long time, the changes for the better were very obvious.

After being poisoned, her body became increasingly thinner, until she was just skin and bones, and she felt unusually heavy.

This feeling is different from ordinary illness and may even seem insignificant, but such long-lasting and seemingly endless fatigue often makes people lose energy and is really hard.

Chi Hongyuan returned to his room after practicing swordplay. When he opened the door, he saw his mother sitting at the desk, staring at the medicine bowl on the table in a daze, her breathing stagnant.

"Mother?" Chi Hongyuan hung his sword on the wall and walked quickly to Rong Yuer's side. "Is it medicine? What's the problem?"

Chi Hongyuan regretted that he was not cautious enough. Even if several doctors said that the prescription was fine, he should have asked someone to try it after the medicine was boiled, and only gave it to his mother after confirming that there was no problem.

Rong Yuer looked at Chi Hongyuan with joy: "Yuan'er, that Divine Doctor Bai really has some extraordinary abilities."

She stood up and walked in front of her son. Her steps were light and without a trace of dejection. She even looked much better in spirit.

"It's only the first day of taking the medicine, but I actually feel better. I don't feel tired just sitting like before."

Rong Yuer only noticed the changes that happened to herself, and didn't realize that even her voice had become stronger.

Chi Hongyuan's eyes flickered, and his dark eyes gradually brightened up: "Mother really looks much better. It seems that Doctor Bai's prescription is very effective. It's just a matter of time before the poison in your body is removed!"

Before receiving Bai Ziyu's treatment, Rong Yuer forced herself to eat a lot every day in order to avoid losing weight too quickly.

Thanks to Chi Hongyuan's arrangement, Rong Yuer was able to eat delicious food in the cold palace, and had countless precious medicinal herbs to barely make up for the deficiency in her body. However, it was still a drop in the bucket.

After starting to take the medicine prescribed by Bai Ziyu, coupled with good meals, after taking it for seven or eight days in a row, there was a significant change in my condition.

"My lady, I have been serving you these past few days, but I feel that your belt is tighter than before, and even your face seems to have grown some flesh. Is it because I am dazzled?"

The personal maid beside Rong Yuer measured Rong Yuer's waist and found that it was indeed rounder than her master's waist.

But she knew about her master's illness, and no matter how hard the Ninth Prince tried, his condition had not improved over the years.

The maid didn't know that Rong Yu'er had taken medicine. When Rong Yu'er heard what she said, she smiled and said, "Maybe my appetite has improved recently. I finally gained some weight and put on some meat."

Rong Yuer stood in front of the old dressing mirror, looking at her reflection in the mirror with satisfaction.

Bai Ziyu really lived up to his reputation as a miracle doctor. The medicine he prescribed was so effective so quickly. Rong Yuer had never expected this. Now Bai Ziyu and her child were just partners. If...

"Mother." Chi Hongyuan came back from outside. After greeting Rong Yu'er, he looked at the maid beside her, "Aunt Mingyue."

"I'll take my leave first." Mingyue was quick-witted and withdrew on her own without waiting for her master to speak.

Chi Hongyuan noticed that his mother was much better than before, and was happy for her: "Seeing that your mother is getting better, I am happy for her."

"It seems that it will only take one month to eliminate the poison in my body. Doctor Bai is not talking nonsense." Rong Yuer moved closer to the mirror and saw that her face had a rare flush of color. How could she not be excited?

Chi Hongyuan nodded. Now that the medicine had taken effect, he should fulfill his promise.

As early as the first day that Rong Yuer took the medicine, Chi Hongyuan began to deploy at the border, and now the arrangements there are almost complete.

That night.

The cries of a few crows pierced the night sky, and the palace servants patrolling around the cold palace were frightened to the point of their scalps going numb.

"The cold palace is such an unlucky place. Crows are circling all day long. It's so dark and scary."

The patrolling palace servants huddled together in fear and quickly left the vicinity of the cold palace. The cold palace was a place with few people, so it was colder and more eerie than other places in the palace, making it seem even more spooky.

"Let's go quickly and don't talk nonsense." Some timid palace servants were afraid that talking might cause trouble, so they walked very fast.

A pitch-black crow landed on the old window coffin. Chi Hongyuan untied the paper tied to the crow's leg and unfolded it. The paper had the year and month of the day written on it, and nothing else.

This is a codeword created by Chi Hongyuan, and only he and his confidants know how to decipher it.

The note recorded the message in a short code. Everything was normal at the border. Zhou Junyuan and his party had not yet arrived at the border, but Chi Hongyuan's people arrived first.
