And he is one of the countless living beings under his feet, like an ant.
"Mr. Xu, you can tell me the location of a treasure, you also have medical skills, and you can even predict the future? Who are you? Or are you an immortal?"
When Elder Xu heard this, he burst into laughter. "Before, you all guessed that I was a half-immortal. Now, is this an upgrade? I'm not an immortal! There are no immortals in this world!"
He put his cane aside and asked curiously, "Do you know your princess?"
Mr. Xu's face looked full of wrinkles and he looked very sloppy, which should have made people feel disgusted, but he seemed to be very outstanding.
I couldn't even muster any feelings of rejection towards him, and inexplicably felt that this person was worthy of admiration.
Jing Yuchen's expression became increasingly strange: "I think the relationship between her and I is good enough now, there's no need to get to know her any further!"
"Little boy, don't be so wary. She gave me a bite of food and some silver, so I gave her a medicine in return. She should have been dying, but the medicine saved her. But medicine has a time limit!"
At this moment, Jing Yuchen instantly understood what Mr. Xu was saying.
It turns out that Ni Yueshan should have died, but was revived because of his medicine. Now the effect of the medicine will wear off and new medicine is needed!
"Then do you have medicine? Give it to her?" Jing Yuchen looked at the old man in front of him nervously, afraid that he would say no.
"It takes time to do it, there's no need to rush." He stroked his beard, neither anxious nor impatient.
Jing Yuchen's expression became more serious: "Then give me the prescription as soon as possible, and I will go collect the herbs!"
Old Xu smiled and said, "You look cold, but you care too much about this little girl!"
"I came to Xianchang just to see how she's doing. Now that everything is fine, I'm relieved! As for the pills, I'll study them carefully and reappear when she needs me!"
Then he stood up and walked out. Jing Yuchen frowned and asked anxiously, "What if you don't show up? How are we going to find you?"
"We will meet if we are destined to!" The door was opened and his voice came from outside. Jing Yuchen stood up and ran out quickly, wanting to ask him some questions, but when he reached the door, there was no trace of Mr. Xu.
Jing Yuchen's brows were tightly furrowed, with a hint of gloom in his expression.
When Ni Yueshan came back from the kitchen with pastries, she saw Jing Yuchen sitting in a wheelchair with a serious expression, as if he was in a bad mood.
She asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"Princess, the imperial physician and Elder Xu just arrived at the palace. Elder Xu stayed alone with the prince for a while. I don't know... whether he realized whether the prince was pretending or not."
Ni Yueshan looked at Qingdie curiously: "How do you know he's pretending?"
“…This servant is not blind!”
This sentence made Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen look at each other.
Although Jing Yuchen tried his best to pretend, as long as there was a tiny flaw at some point, it would be seen by others, so this disabled person naturally could not pretend anymore!
On the second day, Jing Yuchen, who had been absent from the morning court for a long time, showed up.
Looking at Jing Yuchen standing in the court in good health, the ministers couldn't help but admire him: "Old Xu's medical skills are superb! Prince Chen, you are cured now!"
Jing Yuchen looked indifferent, staring straight ahead, and responded: "Now that I'm standing here, isn't it obvious whether I'm good or not?"
The queen's eyes lit up when she learned that Jing Yuchen was fully recovered.
She stood up excitedly, then calmed down again. She looked at Aunt Bai and asked, "So, what about that aspect?"
Jing Yuchen's injuries were on his abdomen and legs. His abdomen...
"How could this old servant know this? Only the princess and concubines in the palace know the most, right?"
When Nanny Bai mentioned the concubine, the Queen's face immediately darkened. "Yueshan, Yueshan, this is really making it difficult for me. The concubine is from the Miao family, but she is so jealous that she refuses to subside in the slightest."
"It's been so long, I'm afraid Concubine Miao doesn't even have the chance to spend the bridal chamber?" The Queen said, holding her forehead with a headache. She actually thought Ni Yueshan was a sensible person!
Nanny Bai stood aside and said with a worried look, "The prince's child is still in the princess's belly. In order to have more children, it is indeed better to take in concubines. However, the prince doesn't like them. It's useless to have more women in the palace!"
The Queen glanced at Nanny Bai and said, "What do you say?"
"Unless the prince is given a chance to be alone with another woman, this burning fire will finally ignite!"
The Queen's eyes flickered, and she felt that what Nanny Bai said made a lot of sense.
After the court was dismissed, Jing Yuchen was called by the emperor for a private talk. When Jing Yuchen returned to the palace, it was already very late.
Ni Yueshan was waiting for Jing Yuchen to come back and tell her about the situation.
"You look so dejected, is it because things are very troublesome?"
"Nothing, it's just that my father wants me to supervise the repair of the canal."
Ni Yueshan was stunned: "How long will it take? How far?"
"If we're riding a horse, it'll take three days at the fastest, five days at the slowest! If we're repairing a canal... it'll take a long time, maybe half a year, maybe even a year!"
Jing Yuchen then moved closer to Ni Yueshan and said, "Father specifically told me that I can't bring you along. You're the princess and you're pregnant!"
Ni Yueshan turned the chopsticks in his hand depressedly, as he was going to be isolated again.
"It turns out being a prince isn't easy!"
Ni Yueshan sighed and slammed the chopsticks in front of Jing Yuchen: "Eat!"
After the two of them had lunch together, Duan Gouqiong came.
"Where's Mr. Xu? Why isn't he in the palace? Could he have left?"
Seeing that she was a little anxious, Ni Yueshan asked curiously, "Why are you looking for him?"
"Lecheng and I have been together for so long, but we still don't have any children. I just want to ask, when will we be able to have children?"
Ni Yueshan supported Jing Yuchen with her hand and said helplessly, "You were the one who wasn't anxious before, and you're the one who's anxious now. The person might have passed away a long time ago. As for him, he's an old man. He may be a little bit crazy, but he shouldn't be in charge of gynecology, men's health, and obstetrics, right? Just let nature take its course!"
Ni Yueshan pulled Jing Yuchen into the room. Duan Gouqiong opened his mouth to say something, but finally swallowed it.
What? He came and left as he said. His whereabouts...
After returning to the room, Ni Yueshan made the bed and said, "It's time to sleep."
Jing Yuchen hugged her from behind. Ni Yueshan was startled and asked curiously, "Why? What's wrong?"
"Mr. Xu told me everything about your situation!"
The smile on Ni Yueshan's face gradually faded, and he became serious: "Do you care?"
Jing Yuchen shook his head vigorously behind Ni Yueshan: "I don't care!"
