Chapter 687: The Deposed Princess Strikes Back at the Female General 134
The Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince understood, and they bowed to Ji Yunhuan with gratitude, then followed the Crown Prince and left.
The second prince seemed to be thoughtful. In this case, could he fight for the title of prince? His father would never promote him, but when the crown prince ascended the throne in the future, maybe he could make further progress.
The title of a prince is not hereditary, otherwise there would have been too many princes and the royal family could not afford to support so many relatives. The titles are passed down from generation to generation. If he can be crowned as a prince, his son can inherit the title of a county prince and his treatment will not be too bad.
After being conferred the title of prince, he could help his sister more. The third princess married very well, but precisely because she married too well and her husband's family had a high status, she still suffered some grievances on a daily basis.
The third princess also sent a gift to the Crown Princess. The two princesses and three imperial concubines all stayed and did not go to the female guests' table. Instead, they accompanied Ji Yunhuan for dinner, hoping to get closer to Ji Yunhuan.
Although Ji Yunhuan was young and was remarried, they did not dare to offend Ji Yunhuan. They all spoke in praise of Ji Yunhuan and only said nice things to her.
Yue Lanshan sat beside Ji Yunhuan, looking contented. After eating and drinking, she wiped her mouth and stood up and said, "Huan'er, I have to leave too."
"The Empress Dowager is no longer in serious condition. As long as the Emperor doesn't act up, the Empress Dowager is in a good mood, and takes medicine on time, she will have no problem living another ten or eight years."
"I have several disciples in the medical clinic in the capital, and they are enough to teach those girls. I don't like to stay in one place for too long. Traveling around the world, tasting all kinds of herbs, and pursuing deeper medical principles are my lifelong pursuit. This time I plan to go to Zijing Country."
Ji Yunhuan stood up and saw him off to the edge of the courtyard wall. It was a common problem among people in the martial arts world that they didn't like to go through the main gate, but liked to climb over the eaves and walls.
Yue Lanshan travels around the world, her skills are average, but her lightness skills are excellent.
Ji Yunhuan stuffed a bunch of banknotes and a bag of gold and silver jewelry into Yue Lanshan's hands, and told her, "Be careful when you go out, keep an eye on your things, and don't let them be stolen again."
"When you treat patients, be a little more tactful and don't make enemies everywhere. If you were one-tenth as cautious as those imperial doctors, you wouldn't be hunted down and killed after saving people. If you want to be kind, don't steal medicine and money everywhere. Is it glorious to be chased and beaten? We have money, so we can just spend it to buy it."
Yue Lanshan accepted it with embarrassment. Baicaotang was actually very wealthy, but when she went out to travel, she always did whatever she wanted. When she earned high medical fees, she would spend them lavishly. When she was poor, she would sleep on the streets. No matter how she lived, the day was worth it.
She took out a crumpled piece of paper from her bosom, on which were written words that looked like dog crawling, so ugly that they were unbearable to look at.
"The girls in Baihua Tower have all been poisoned. Now we can only use the antidote once a month. You can try this prescription. It should be able to delay the use of the medicine to once every three months. When I return from Zijing Country, I will be able to completely remove the poison."
The corner of Ji Yunhuan's mouth twitched. "Dr. Yue's calligraphy is still as amazing as ever!"
Baihua Tower has been sealed off, and the girls inside were released after interrogation.
Hua Niang opened a small shop with her daughter and lived in hiding.
Many of the girls in Baihualou were abducted, and only two or three were taken back by their families. The rest were either changed hands so many times that they had no idea where their homes were, or they simply did not want to go home, and were sold again if they returned.
The school, clinic and textile factory run by the Queen Mother all needed manpower, so Ji Yunhuan arranged for them to work there. They could always earn a living, and if they were diligent and studious, and learned some skills, they would not have to worry about their lives.
Yue Lanshan jumped onto the courtyard wall and waved at Ji Yunhuan, "No need to see me off. We will meet again in the future!"
After seeing off another friend, Ji Yunhuan felt a little depressed and responded to the imperial concubines' flattery in a perfunctory manner.
The Sixth Princess picked up a piece of fish for Ji Yunhuan with her chopsticks and said with a smile: "I love eating sea bass the most. It tastes delicious and has no bones. Sister Ji, you can try it too."
Ji Yunhuan took a bite and felt nauseous. It might be because she got up too early today. Normally, her appetite was quite good.
Ji Yunhuan spat out the fish and rinsed his mouth before feeling better.
The Sixth Princess panicked, and Yueying was also extremely worried. Ji Yunhuan knew what was going on, and said calmly, "Go get the imperial physician."
The imperial physician arrived soon and all outsiders were kept outside. Yuwen Yi came in with a frown on his face. He glanced indifferently at the uneasy Sixth Princess, then at the other people who were having dinner with Ji Yunhuan.
"Please take a rest in the side hall. I will send someone to take you back after the imperial physician has diagnosed your condition."
Before the matter is investigated clearly, these people are all suspects. He will not randomly suspect other princes, but if he really finds out that someone wants to harm Huan'er, don't blame him for going on a killing spree.
Concubine Jiang was already in the room with Ji Yunhuan. Neither the Queen Mother nor the Empress stayed long, but Concubine Jiang planned to stay in the Prince's Mansion for a few more days and take a stroll around the capital. She was relieved that her son would arrange everything.
Now no one can tell her what to do. She can leave the palace whenever she wants and no longer has to stick to the rules.
"Huan'er, how do you feel? Are you still feeling sick? Did you eat something bad?"
Ji Yunhuan shook his head. "I'm fine now. I just can't stand the smell of fish. I don't usually like to eat fish, so it doesn't have much of an impact."
The imperial physician was taking Ji Yunhuan's pulse, and Yuwen Yi was standing nearby. His presence was particularly strong, causing the imperial physician to wipe his sweat repeatedly and feeling extremely stressed.
Ji Yunhuan said helplessly: "Sit down, what's the point of standing? I'm really fine, don't scare yourself."
Yuwen Yi sat down obediently, his back as straight as a javelin, without any slackness, "I have sealed up all the food on that table, and the imperial physician is checking it. No one can leave the prince's mansion until the matter is investigated."
"If anyone dares to harm you, I will kill him today!"
The imperial physician finally finished the diagnosis and said tremblingly, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is not poisoned, nor is she sick. If I am not wrong, the Crown Princess should be pregnant."
Yuwen Yi breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm glad you're not poisoned. I was so scared. I thought..."
Ji Yunhuan smiled and looked at Yuwen Yi. Yuwen Yi suddenly realized something and stammered, "The imperial physician just said...something about being pregnant...Today is a big wedding day, what else can be happy..."
Yuwen Yi was so nervous that he was incoherent.
Ji Yunhuan couldn't help laughing when she saw Yuwen Yi's silly look. She took Yuwen Yi's hand and put it on her belly.
"How silly! Of course I'm pregnant! We have a baby!"
