Chapter 105 is absolutely hilarious!

"At that time, I felt that the lady's illness was strange, but the master said that I was spreading rumors and had me beaten a few times. I dared not say anything more."

In the quiet room, Granny Chen's aged face was full of memories. "But this old servant always felt uneasy, so when no one was looking, I secretly hid the madam's prescription. As a result, not long after, the madam passed away, and this old servant was also kicked out and ended up in the Prince Xiang's mansion."

Jiang Zhi's heart skipped a beat. "Does Granny Chen still have that prescription?"

Granny Chen wiped away the tears in her eyes. "This old servant has kept it all along, but unfortunately, this old servant is not knowledgeable enough to see what is wrong with the prescription. I was just thinking that one day it might be useful."

Although Granny Chen knew about difficult gynecological diseases, it was based on her years of experience and she was not an expert in pharmacology.

She shakily took out a yellowed prescription from her clothes.

Jiang Zhi's eyes inexplicably welled up with tears, and she solemnly accepted the gift.

“Young Miss, giving you this prescription will fulfill my long-cherished wish.”

"Granny Chen, I thank you for your loyalty to my mother." Jiang Zhi stuffed a silver note into Granny Chen's hand.

Granny Chen repeatedly refused, "Young Miss, this old servant did not leave this prescription for the reward money."

“I know,” Jiang Zhi said firmly. “This is my heartfelt gift, and I hope you won’t refuse it, otherwise I really don’t know how to thank you.”

After thinking about it, Granny Chen decided not to refuse anymore.

Just then, a commotion arose outside.

Jiang Zhi heard a clear and familiar voice enter her ears, "Greetings, Princess Consort of Xiang."

She was stunned.

Why would Xiao Xuanyou come to the Prince of Xiang's residence?

But given the current situation, it's absolutely impossible for her not to go out and pay her respects.

So she could only go out with Granny Chen to pay her respects to Xiao Xuanyou.

Xiao Xuanyou, however, seemed not to see her, and continued to chat with the Princess Consort of Xiang while drinking tea with a nonchalant expression.

Princess Xiang smoothed things over, saying, "If Miss Jiang has finished asking her questions, she may go back on her own."

"Yes, thank you very much, Princess Consort and Prince Xiang. I will definitely visit you in person another day to express my gratitude." Jiang Zhi said politely before leaving.

At this moment, Xiao Xuanyou also stood up. "I have other matters to attend to at the Crown Prince's Palace, so I will return first. Princess Consort and Prince, please take care of yourselves. Farewell."

When Xiao Yunheng saw Xiao Xuanyou off, he saw Qingxing helping Jiang Zhi arrive at the entrance of the Xiangwang Mansion.

Xiao Yunheng was rather curious.

The Crown Prince is always very courteous, so why did he only glance at Miss Jiang today and then remain silent? This is not like his usual self at all.

That's really strange.

He thought for a moment, and his fingers, which had been resting quietly on his lap, twitched slightly.

Just as Qingxing was about to help Jiang Zhi down the steps, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her knee and lost her footing. The two of them were about to tumble down the steps.

"Be careful." Xiao Xuanyou strode forward and caught Jiang Zhi around the waist before she landed, helping her maintain her balance.

Qingxing, standing nearby, was not so lucky. She cried out in surprise and fell heavily down the steps, sitting on the ground for a long time without being able to get up.

"Are you alright?" Xiao Xuanyou's concern seemed genuine.

Jiang Zhi was anxious to check on Qingxing, "Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?"

Qingxing shook her head, "I'm fine, Miss, don't worry."

Xiao Xuanyou looked down at Qingxing and said, "Clumsy and clumsy, is this how you serve your master?"

"This is my maidservant, Your Highness need not trouble yourself." Jiang Zhi didn't even give Xiao Xuanyou a glance, broke free from his grasp, and limped towards Qingxing to help her up from the ground.

"This humble woman takes her leave." She nodded to the two of them and then boarded her family's carriage with Qingxing.

Xiao Xuanyou remained standing there, his face grim.

He really wanted to ask her how she got injured, but there were too many people around and it wasn't the right time to talk.

Xiao Yunheng watched from behind, marveling at the sight.

The Crown Prince and Jiang Zhi did not appear to be familiar with each other on the surface.

Even though Jiang Zhi had participated in the selection of the Crown Princess, others would only think that this eldest daughter of the Jiang family was just there to make up the numbers.

But looking at the undercurrents in their conversation now, we know that this is not the case.

That's interesting, absolutely hilarious.

Xiao Yunheng made a new discovery, and a hint of excitement appeared on his originally gentle and calm face.

Jiang Zhi took Qingxing and went to Doctor Xue's place again.

"Do you think this is a charity? You want to treat a little maid who just fell and got hurt?" Doctor Xue said, still annoyed.

Jiang Zhi didn't waste any words and tossed him another silver note.

Anyway, now that she has the shop bestowed by the Empress and her mother's dowry, the one thing she has no shortage of is money.

Doctor Xue had seen wealthy people before, but he had never seen anyone so willing to spend money on their servants.

“Fine, money talks, you’re the boss.” Doctor Xue was also decisive and immediately had his assistant write a prescription and get the medicine.

Jiang Zhi dismissed the others and handed the prescription left by Granny Chen to Doctor Xue. "Please take a look, Doctor Xue. Is there anything wrong with this prescription?"

Doctor Xue took the prescription and examined it carefully. He frowned slightly. "This is a prescription for treating qi and blood deficiency, and physical weakness. It seems to be without fault."

"Please take a close look, Doctor Xue," Jiang Zhi said, placing a gold ingot on the table. "If Doctor Xue can help me find the truth, there will be even more gold waiting for you."

Doctor Xue's eyes lit up, and he accepted the gold without saying a word. "Here's what we'll do: leave the prescription with me for now, and I'll let you know immediately if I find anything."

“I must keep the prescription, but I can make a copy for you,” Jiang Zhi cupped her hands in greeting. “This matter is extremely important to me, so please take it to heart, Doctor Xue, and give me a reply as soon as possible.”

As Jiang Zhi emerged from the clinic, she let out a deep sigh.

Several more days passed, and Jiang Zhi still hadn't received any news from Doctor Xue, but Xie Qi's men came to her door instead.

This concerns Yan Wenhong.

Before Xie Qi left, he had people keep an eye on him. Sure enough, not two days later, he claimed to be sick and recuperating at home, but in reality, he secretly left the capital for the western suburbs with two trusted confidants.

With Yan Wenhong leading the way, Xie Qi's men quickly found their garrison location.

The place was located in a mountain valley, surrounded by towering mountains and impassable mountain roads.

There were over three thousand people in charge of military administration inside. They were self-sufficient and did not communicate with the outside world, making it a veritable paradise. They were just waiting for an order to cross the western suburbs and head straight for the capital.

If it weren't for Yan Wenhong, Xie Qi's men wouldn't have been able to find such a hidden place even if they searched for a year.

This matter has been reported to the Emperor and the Crown Prince; it remains to be seen how it will be handled.

Although it was good news, Jiang Zhi couldn't help but feel worried.

She waited anxiously for a few more days until the garrison was wiped out and Yan Wenhong was captured. Then she knew that what was coming would eventually come.

That night, she deliberately stayed up, letting Qingxing go to rest first, while she opened the window to listen to the sounds outside.

Not long after, she heard a muffled groan, followed by the door being slammed open. Two black figures were kicked into the room like kites with broken strings, collapsing to the ground and spitting out blood.

The two struggled to their feet, wanting to go out and fight again, but Jiang Zhi stopped them, saying, "Ruying Anyue, you two go down first."

The newcomer stepped in, a figure in a black flying fish robe standing at the door, one hand on his sword, the gilded patterns on the scabbard gleaming coldly in the moonlight, his suppressed, chilling anger already permeating his entire being.

It was Lu Yuan.
