Chapter 21 Meeting Mianmian is your blessing
"I can't find a reason not to go back..."
At least her travel passes and other things were with Xiao Jin.
She used to naively believe that Xiao Jin was protecting her, but now it seems that this is clearly a disguised form of imprisonment!
"I can use the excuse of wanting you as a concubine to bring you to the palace. Xiao Jin probably won't give you a contract to sell your body, but I can slowly send people to the Xiao Mansion to help you find one."
"Is that really a concubine?"
Xiao Linyuan shook his head, "It's just a pretense. Zeng Yuanshuang can be exchanged for you."
"So I have to be a fake concubine for the rest of my life?"
"No need. Just wait until I'm fully recovered. If I win, you can use my influence to roam freely throughout Dali. If I lose, I can at least guarantee you and your family prosperity. But you'll have to hide your identities and cut off all ties with me in order to survive."
Song Zijin thought about it and agreed to this method, "Your Highness will definitely win!"
"Thank you for your good wishes." Xiao Linyuan suddenly lost interest.
Maybe I didn’t have a good dinner, so I’m a little hungry now.
Song Zijin was very considerate and stepped forward to help Xiao Linyuan up. "Your Highness, it's time for you to rest."
Xiao Linyuan didn't refuse.
He walked very slowly, step by step. For someone who was poisoned, drowsy, and had a near-death experience, this was considered an extremely fast recovery speed.
Song Zijin carefully helped him lie down and covered him with a thin blanket.
He turned around to go outside, but was stopped by Xiao Linyuan.
"Where are your family members? Didn't you say before that you have already made a promise with me that I will help you rescue them?"
However, Song Zijin did not dare to reveal his father's name, for fear that his identity would be exposed in front of Xiao Linyuan and his friend would become his enemy.
"My family is in Cangzhou. I don't know where Xiao Jin is holding them."
Xiao Linyuan thought about it and realized that Cangzhou was adjacent to Jinyuezhou, so it would be easy for him to intervene.
"Then I will give you two people. Tell them the names and characteristics of your family members and ask them to help you find them."
Song Zijin's eyes lit up, so he recognized that she was a good person, right?
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Linyuan was not used to her burning gaze, so he looked away, seeming to be very sleepy.
Song Zijin tactfully retreated to the outer room.
However, she was not in a hurry to fall asleep. Instead, she asked Chunsheng to find the two secret guards arranged by Xiao Linyuan for her, and asked them to take the silver, money and letters to Cangzhou overnight.
As for her parents' names, she did not tell the secret guard. She only said the name her mother Luo Qingtang used when she was traveling around the world, Luo Ning, and her sister's name, Luo Zipei.
She didn't dare tell her mother about her current situation, as her mother would be disappointed in her.
Her family was suffering enough in exile, and she didn't want them to worry about her.
…
The next morning, before Song Zijin woke up, the old princess rushed over.
Knowing that the two people in the room were still asleep, he was not in a hurry and sat at the stone table under the sycamore tree to drink tea.
When Song Zijin woke up, she realized that the old princess had been waiting for a long time. She quickly packed herself up and went out to meet people.
"Meet the old princess."
The old princess looked kind and beckoned her, "Come and sit down. Don't be shy."
Song Zijin did not hesitate and sat to the left of the old princess.
"Mianmian, who taught you medical skills?"
"My mother." She didn't hide it. No one knew her mother's identity anyway.
The old princess was a little surprised that there were so many amazing female doctors in the world, but she didn't know any of them...
The cool morning breeze blew up Song Zijin's scattered hair.
The old princess sniffed. "Your scent is so familiar. Is there some new perfume powder that has been released in the capital recently?"
Song Zijin's alarm bells rang, "This dress was bought by the prince's secret guards. They might have used the fashionable incense."
The old princess nodded without asking any further questions, and looked at her with a burning look in her eyes.
"Ling Zhi, you are a rare and talented man, holding a high position of power and extraordinary abilities. Once he recovers, all the staff of the palace can follow him back to Jinyue. That place is beautiful with its tranquility and tranquility, making it a perfect place to live. When you give birth to a son, even if he is a concubine, he can achieve great things and establish his own career. When that time comes, your status will be enhanced by your son, and you will enjoy endless wealth and glory."
"..." Song Zijin was stunned. "The prince has awakened and will have a legitimate son in the future."
Xiao Jin is a bastard's son, and the old princess doesn't even recognize him. She doesn't believe that if she really gives birth to a bastard's son, the old princess will love him.
The old princess took Song Zijin's hand affectionately and said, "Lingzhi doesn't like to interact with women very much. By the time he finds a suitable wife, I'm afraid I'll be buried. Now that you and Lingzhi have had physical contact, I couldn't be more relieved to let you bear the child."
Song Zijin didn't know how to respond, so he just smiled foolishly.
Xiao Linyuan opened the door and walked out with Chunsheng's support.
He stood tall and straight, dressed in a black uniform, with his hair slightly gathered and draped behind him. He looked weak yet dignified, and his whole body was filled with majesty.
This was the first time Song Zijin saw Xiao Linyuan clearly in natural light. His narrow, long, phoenix eyes, stained with the morning glow, seemed much softer than the day he had just woken up. The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, evoking the pride of this child of destiny.
Today, Xiao Linyuan's eyesight has recovered very well. Even from such a distance, he can still see the two blushes on Song Zijin's face.
Her hair was a little messy from sleeping, and the two buns were tilted, which was quite cute.
"Is mother having trouble sleeping now? She woke up so early."
Lack of sleep is a sign of exhaustion. The old princess didn't want to expose her privacy, so she said stubbornly, "It's because I'm worried about your offspring that I can't sleep!"
Hearing this, Xiao Linyuan paused for a moment. It seemed that this was the beginning of the morning to induce labor.
"Miss Mianmian has agreed to be my son's concubine, but because I have been unconscious for too long and have been severely poisoned, it is impossible for me to have children soon."
As if he had thought of something, he quickly added, "This has nothing to do with whether I'm useful or not."
The old princess snorted softly and turned to look at Song Zijin, "Is that so, Mianmian?"
Song Zijin nodded, "According to the medical text, in your case, it will take at least three months before we can consider having children."
Now in the eyes of the old princess, Song Zijin is invaluable, and everything she says is taken as the gospel.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you to pay more attention to him for the next three months and take good care of him. Feel free to use the herbs in the storehouse. If you don't have any at home, just ask the housekeeper to buy them."
Song Zijin was flattered. Is this definitely the same person as the old princess who sought medical treatment a few days ago?
Xiao Linyuan walked over and sat next to Song Zijin. He had a light and elegant incense scent on him, which was very pleasant to smell.
The old princess felt brighter as she looked at her son's increasingly rosy complexion.
"Other people smell like medicine when they're sick, but Mianmian is amazing. The medicine she uses has no smell at all. How many people are as lucky as you? The medicine is even made into peach blossom pastries, so it's not bitter at all. Meeting Mianmian is a blessing for you!"
Song Zijin and Xiao Linyuan looked at each other, their faces flushed, and did not mention the secret that only the two of them knew.
The aroma of tea is lingering, mixed with unfamiliar elements.
"Mianmian will live in this courtyard from now on. The east wing will be used as your pharmacy. I'll have the housekeeper move all the medicinal herbs here later."
The old princess thought she had come up with a great idea and quickly stood up to make arrangements.
This was a bit too formal. Just as Song Zijin was about to refuse, Xiao Linyuan pulled his sleeve.
He whispered, "Let your mother go. Let her have something to do. Otherwise, she'll be thinking about random things all day long, which is not good for her health. Besides, don't you want to be a doctor? There are many medicinal herbs in the palace that you haven't seen before. Aren't you interested?"
When Song Zijin heard the word medicinal herbs, his eyes lit up.
Looking at the old princess's hurried back, he couldn't help but cover his lips and laugh out loud.
The moment the courtyard gate opened, she saw the servants passing by.
Everyone stretched their necks to look into the yard.
Song Zijin's expression changed, and he stood up to block Xiao Linyuan, "Your Highness, why are you wandering around so openly?"
"Openly? Then should I be sneaky?" Xiao Linyuan glanced at her.
