Chapter 180 Another big step towards meeting Yin Xia!
The three of them leaned their heads out and saw that the door that was originally tightly closed was pushed open with a creaky sound.
A young man in cloth walked out of the door.
It was the chief's guard whom they had seen at the gate of the Stargazing Pavilion a few days ago.
The three of them looked at each other, then stood up and walked to the gate of the courtyard.
When Guard Meng saw the three people coming towards him, he couldn't help but feel panicked.
How did Zhu Yan come here...
Did he discover something?
Guard Meng subconsciously wanted to turn around and go into the house, but was suddenly stopped by Zhu Yan.
"Stop! I can see you!"
Guard Meng froze in his tracks and had no choice but to turn around and look at the person in front of him.
He raised his lips slightly, looking very polite.
"Who are you? What's the matter with you?"
Guard Meng did not forget the order given to him by the Imperial Master.
He still had to pretend that he didn't know Zhu Ni.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yan curled his lips, looking impatient.
"Okay, stop pretending. I know you know me."
Guard Meng opened his mouth and wanted to speak to defend himself, but was suddenly interrupted by Zhu Ni.
"We are here to do business with you, not to cause you any trouble."
Guard Meng subconsciously took a step back, his eyes full of vigilance.
Trade? What trades can they make?
What tricks is this kid Zhu Yan trying to play?
But that doesn’t seem to be the case. Zhu Yan isn’t that smart.
Shangguan Sui took a step forward and walked in front of Guard Meng.
She raised her fair little face and looked at him, "Do you know me? I am the fifth princess of Dayue Kingdom, and now I am also Princess Yuzhen of Xia Kingdom."
Guard Meng was slightly surprised when he heard this, and his eyes couldn't help but widen.
He quickly bowed and saluted, "I have met Princess Yuzhen and I pay my respects to her."
Of course he had heard of Princess Yuzhen's name.
But because the observatory where he usually stayed was too remote, he had never seen it.
Shangguan Sui waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be polite. I'm here to help you."
Guard Meng felt a little strange, "Help me?"
Shangguan Sui nodded.
"I know you have an old illness, and I can help you cure it."
"Princess, how did you know?"
Guard Meng was so surprised that he spoke hesitantly.
He did have some old injuries, which he had sustained on the battlefield several years ago.
Whenever it rains, the wounds on my legs feel like being pricked by needles, and I can’t even stand up.
Therefore, he was transferred by the army to a remote and deserted place like the Star Observation Tower to guard and spend his days.
Shangguan Sui raised his eyes and looked at him, "You should have heard that the emperor was seriously ill this time and was cured by taking my medicine."
"I have a lot of medicine, including a healing pill that will definitely help you."
Meng Shiwei couldn't help but feel warm in his heart when he heard this.
He had indeed heard of this matter.
The fifth princess of Dayue Kingdom presented medicine to the emperor, who woke up from his coma after taking it and fully recovered.
Maybe she really has medicine that can help him...
He dreamed of curing his old illness and returning to the army.
But Guard Meng also knew that there is no free lunch in the world.
"What does the princess want me to do?" Guard Meng asked carefully.
He is just a small guard. What can he do to help the princess?
Shangguan Sui's eyebrows curved, "I want you to let me into the Star Observatory!"
Upon hearing this, Guard Meng immediately shook his head.
"No, this is against the rules."
Shangguan Sui was not in a hurry and spoke slowly.
"I won't do anything bad if I go in. I just heard that there is a place in the Xia Kingdom's Stargazing Pavilion that imitates the starry sky. Once you enter it, it feels like you are in a sea of stars. I want to go in and take a look."
She winked at Guard Meng.
"I'm just a five-year-old girl. What bad thoughts could I have?"
Zhu Yan's mouth twitched when he heard this.
I don't believe you, you are a very bad five-year-old kid!
Zhu Ni couldn't help crying in his heart when he recalled the scene when Shangguan Sui threatened and bribed him with roasted chicken when he was starving to death.
Xiao Ziyuan glared at Zhu Ni.
What does his expression mean? He is a very nice person!
Guard Meng's originally tense mood gradually relaxed.
It's just a little girl's curiosity, it's not a big deal.
Shangguan Sui saw that Guard Meng’s brows suddenly relaxed and the corners of his lips slightly curved.
[Hehe, I’m about to succeed! ]
She immediately took out the pills she had prepared early in the morning from her sleeve and handed them to Guard Meng.
"This is the healing pill. There are three pills in total. You have to take all of them to be completely healed. You can try it first."
Guard Meng pursed his lips, struggling internally.
He has his duties as a guard...
But he really wanted to go back to the army...
He looked up at Shangguan Sui and did not agree directly.
"After I take the medicine and find it is effective, I will come to you."
Shangguan Sui was so excited that he almost jumped up on the spot.
[Ahhh, it’s done! It’s done! I’m one big step closer to meeting Yin Xia! ]
At night, General Wang’s mansion.
"How do you take care of the little sister?"
A stern roar came from the main house in the main courtyard.
General Wang looked at his little daughter, whose face turned blue, in his arms and was so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.
"Wasn't he fine a few days ago? Why did he suddenly start vomiting and having diarrhea today, and his face turned gray?"
General Wang looked at the doctor beside him with red eyes.
"I've been taking this medicine for a day! Why is it not working at all?"
The doctor immediately knelt down and kowtowed hurriedly, "I don't know what's going on!"
"It looks like the young lady has been poisoned, but I have no idea what the poison is!"
When General Wang heard this, his eyes suddenly swept towards the maid next to him.
"You are responsible for the young lady's diet. Did you feed her something unclean? Tell the truth now!"
The maids knelt down and kowtowed immediately.
"The young lady eats the cleanest food. She only drinks the nurse's milk and cow's milk. There is really nothing else!"
The doctor looked at General Wang cautiously, his voice very dry.
"If we don't know what poison the young lady has been poisoned with, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will be difficult to cure..."
When General Wang heard this, he trembled violently as if he was struck by lightning.
He lowered his eyes to look at his daughter in his arms, and when he saw that her features were almost identical to those of his late wife, his eyes suddenly became red.
His wife died in his arms after giving birth...
He failed to save her, and now, he couldn't even save their only child...
General Wang's shoulders drooped, and his hands holding the child trembled uncontrollably.
Every breath seemed to use up all the strength in my body.
The room was full of people kneeling, and no one dared to make the slightest sound at this moment.
At this moment, the servant at the door hurried into the room.
"General! There's a man in black outside the door. He says he can save the young lady!"
General Wang raised his head suddenly and looked at the attendant.
"What did you say? Let him in!"
Whether it is true or not, let's see first...
His daughter's life was most important.
Soon, the servant brought a man in black to the main house.
The man in black slowly took off his hood, revealing a very familiar face.
General Wang immediately cried out in surprise: "Your Highness Prince Yong?!"
