Ji Fengshou grabbed him and said, "Go see a doctor right away! This is what happened after you came back!"

Old Huang put down the medicine box and put his hand on Ji Changying's wrist.

Zhou and Ji Fengshou looked at the expression on his face, their brows tightening and relaxing.

Cui Hao on the ground was groaning, trying to attract the doctor's attention. Zhou looked at him unkindly, and his fingers were crackling as she pinched them.

Seeing her like this, Cui Hao covered his mouth desperately.

"What's going on? Please tell me something!"

Ji Fengshou's heart almost jumped into his throat because of the expression on Mr. Huang's face.

Old Huang put down Ji Changying's wrist in annoyance. "I thought it was some incurable disease! It turns out it's just a cold wind that has entered the body. Two doses of medicine will be enough! He's as strong as a calf now."

Ji Fengshou almost cried with joy when he heard this.

God knows how many worst-case scenarios he had in mind during the short time that Mr. Huang was taking his pulse.

"Then you write a prescription and I'll go get the medicine right away!"

Without hesitation, Mr. Huang wrote out a prescription and handed it to Ji Fengshou. Before Ji Fengshou could even take it, Kou Jiming snatched it away from him. “Just leave it to me. After all, you’ve suffered a lot following me.”

He called a yamen runner and told him to get some medicine, and then he called a servant and told him to prepare a guest room in the backyard for the three of them to rest.

Zhou simply thanked him, carried Ji Changying on her back and followed the attendants away, with Ji Fengshou following closely behind.

As soon as they left, Zhongli Zhou's attention turned to Cui Hao.

····

Ji Changying felt Zhou pouring medicine into her mouth in a daze. The medicine was bitter and astringent and difficult to swallow. As soon as she closed her mouth, her nose was pinched tightly by her father.

She could only suppress her nausea and drink the medicine.

She felt like she was carrying a huge rock weighing several thousand pounds, which made it impossible for her to open her eyes or speak.

During this time, she felt someone was wiping her sweat and applying a cold towel to her forehead.

When she regained consciousness, she was in an unfamiliar room, and Zhou was lying beside her bed, guarding her.

Ji Changying's arm moved slightly and Zhou woke up immediately.

Seeing her open her eyes, Zhou's face was full of surprise: "You woke up?!"

Ji Changying nodded: "Let's..."

Just after she said two words, she found that her throat was very dry.

Zhou happily poured her a cup of tea and said, "Drink slowly!"

She took it and drank it all in one breath, then asked with a lingering feeling: "Where are we?"

"We are at Prince Ping's Mansion! Your father has sent the villagers back first. Since you are not feeling well, we should stay here for a few more days and leave after you have recovered!"

Ji Changying looked at her in surprise: "Why are we here?"

Mrs. Zhou scratched her hair and said, "Old Man Huang said it would be more convenient for him to have two patients here."

As soon as the two finished talking, Mr. Huang came over with a medicine box.

He couldn't help laughing when he saw Ji Changying wake up: "You're quite difficult to press. The three of us almost didn't get the medicine into you. I don't know what you ate to grow so big. A girl is so strong. Your family won't have to worry about you being bullied after you get married."

It’s good enough if you don’t bully others!

Ji Changying curled her lips, recalling the taste, and felt that what Ji Shitou had said was very appropriate: "I thought someone took advantage of my illness and forced me to eat shit!"

Mr. Huang jumped up and down: "How dare you call my medicine shit?! If you have the ability, don't use it in the future."

Ji Changying chuckled: "Thank you for your kind words!"

Huang Lao was so angry that he fell backwards. He pulled her wrist out and took her pulse. Then he suddenly had an idea and said seriously, "You are very weak. Take three more doses of medicine to regulate your body."

This old man is definitely taking revenge on someone personal!

Ji Changying was about to refuse, but Zhou agreed first: "Don't worry, we will absolutely listen to you. I will watch her drink!"

Huang Lao nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it is amazing that you have such a loving mother's heart."

Zhou grinned.

Ji Changying lay down and looked at the sky, feeling that life had lost its will.

After a while, a group of maids came in with trays of various colors in their hands and set up a whole table on the table in the room.

There were various exquisite dishes on the plate, and although there were many of them, the portions were not large.

"There's a banquet being held in the palace today. The princess sent us here to set up a table for you two. Please enjoy your meal."

The leading maid had a perfect smile on her face. After she finished speaking, she nodded slightly to the three people and retreated with them.

It doesn't make people feel uncomfortable, but also makes them feel valued.

Mr. Huang looked at the delicious food on the table and chuckled, "You can't eat this. You need something light. I'll ask someone to bring you a bowl of porridge!"

Ji Changying was too lazy to roll her eyes.

This old man is really vindictive and won't miss any opportunity to torture her.

After dinner, Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Huang went back to their rooms to rest.

Ji Changying was lying in bed resting boredly when she heard the quiet courtyard suddenly explode like a pot of boiling water.

The servants and maids all hurried outside, talking in low voices.

She had just recovered from her illness and was too lazy to use her mental power, so she followed the servants and maids around the corridor and headed towards the palace gate, intending to join in the fun.

Unexpectedly, before I even reached the door, I heard someone outside the gate shouting incoherently: "It's okay if you don't let me in, just hand over the criminal! I will arrest her today!"

The housekeeper stood there and advised earnestly: "Your Excellency must have misunderstood. Where did the prisoner come from in our palace?"

"Give up! That girl is right here with you! Hand her over and we'll talk it over, or I'll go back to the capital and file a complaint! Your prince colluded with outsiders to murder the pacification envoy and is plotting a rebellion!"

"presumptuous!"

Song Ruqing's cold voice came.

All the maids and servants who heard the sound bowed their heads.

A maid came over with the princess on her back, her forehead covered in sweat.

Another maid followed closely, carrying a chair.

When they arrived at the door, the two men quickly placed the princess on a chair. Song Ru tidied up her clothes and then looked up at Cui Hao.

"A mere fifth-rank pacification envoy actually led people to shout and yell in front of the palace. How disgraceful! Is this how your Cui family taught you manners?"

Obviously, Song Ruqing knew Cui Hao's background very well.

When Cui Hao saw Song Ruqing's face, he remembered that she was the Princess of Ping.

I just didn't expect that after not seeing him for a few years, he looked so worn out.

He simply bowed and said, "This humble official greets the princess! A fifth-rank pacification envoy is naturally unqualified to appear before the princess, but this humble official has come to the palace only to capture the criminal! I beg the princess not to shield him."

He shook his sleeves and said this in a very firm tone.

I've already inquired about it. The person who attacked me yesterday was just a commoner woman. If he can't even get back this little bit of face, what's the point of being an official?

I might as well just hang myself!
