"Yes, I must remember what the Crown Princess said!"
The three of them were still walking in the imperial garden when they saw a palace servant walking towards them. The figure of the person looked very familiar. Ni Yueshan narrowed his eyes slightly and walked towards him.
"Madame Bai?"
Nanny Bai looked at Ni Yueshan with a hint of anxiety in her eyes. "Crown Princess, it's true that I used to help the Queen, but I'm sincere to you and the Crown Prince. Please give the deposed Queen a chance. She's been seriously ill in the cold palace, and no imperial physician is willing to treat her. It's been several days, and I've exhausted all my connections in the palace, but no imperial physician dares to prescribe a prescription!"
Ni Yueshan's eyes flickered. The Queen had only intended to use her and Jing Yuchen at the beginning, but she couldn't say that they were mortal enemies. She didn't have any sympathy for the deposed Queen.
But she was willing to give face to Aunt Bai.
"lead the way."
The cold palace is very close to the ice storage room in the palace, so the temperature is lower, so it is called the cold palace. The cold palace is where the concubines who were punished in the harem live, so naturally it is very desolate and no one cares about it.
There were many plants and trees in the courtyard, but no scenery at all. The fish pond was dry, the roof had few tiles and missing eaves, and the red paint in the hall was severely peeling. At first glance, there was only a simple bed standing there crookedly, and no other furniture could be found.
Besides, it’s winter now, and there are only a few thick quilts in the cold palace. How can we survive?
Ni Yueshan walked to the bed and saw a weak person lying on the bed. His exposed cheeks were covered with frostbite, and there was no trace of his former dignified dignity.
"Crown Princess, the imperial physician has examined me and confirmed it's a cold, but a cold requires medicine, and they dare not prescribe it! I really don't know who to turn to. If I hadn't heard that you, Crown Princess, were in the palace, I would have only thought of following the deposed empress. Forget it!"
As she spoke, she began to wipe her tears silently. Ni Yueshan frowned and said, "Mammy, don't be too sad. I'll..."
The nanny looked at Ni Yueshan suspiciously. Ni Yueshan stepped forward to take her pulse. Of course she knew how to diagnose basic illnesses like colds.
When Ni Yueshan withdrew her hand, she stood up and said, "I can give you the herbs, but the Queen originally wanted to replace me with someone else as the Crown Princess to consolidate her position. I still remember this grudge. I hope she can remember my kindness. Mammy, do you know how to convey this to her?"
"Although I don't know what the deposed queen is thinking, I feel that nothing is more valuable than being alive. I will accept this on her behalf!"
Ni Yueshan showed a satisfied expression: "Very good, then come with me to get the medicine!"
Ni Yueshan prescribed medicine for the deposed queen and did not hide it. The emperor knew about it and let him do it.
After nightfall, Jing Yuchen put on a nightgown, disappeared into the darkness, and quietly left the Prince's Mansion.
Afterwards he came to the post station where the Tufan envoys were received.
As an envoy, he accepted King Tufan's request, cursed Emperor Xianchang in the Golden Palace, and was able to save his head. This is enough to make people sweat and be grateful that they are still alive.
Hearing an unusual noise in the house, the other party shouted, "Who?"
In the darkness, Jing Yuchen said indifferently: "Don't be nervous, I am Prince Xianchang, Jing Yuchen!"
The tinderbox was blown to light, revealing the face hidden by the black mask. He curled his lips and looked at the other person with deep eyes.
"Are you the crown prince?"
"Shall we collaborate?"
The other party looked at Jing Yuchen in surprise, but did not shout.
The next day, the envoy went to the Golden Palace to pay homage to the emperor as if he were any other minister. However, he seemed out of place among the group of ministers.
The emperor frowned as he looked at him. "The envoy has traveled all the way from Tufan to Xianchang, and must be exhausted. Why don't you spend some time here to relax and unwind? We can discuss the rest later."
The envoy was dismissive: "I am a court official of Tufan. Naturally, I must resolve Tufan's affairs first, and then think about having fun."
"Then how do you want to solve it?" The emperor sat on the golden dragon throne, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in a halo, feeling majestic and mysterious.
"Search the mansions just like you would every other mansion! If there's no gold dug from the mines, it means your Majesty is innocent. Tufan will make compensation and pay tribute every year! Please, Your Majesty, please be vindicated. If gold dug from the mines is found, it will be your fault. You must return all the gold from the mines, compensate Tufan, cede land, and pay tribute!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers began to discuss among themselves.
The emperor laughed and said, "Do you know how much space the palace covers? Searching the palace? I'm afraid it will take several days and nights..."
What can’t be moved away in a few days and nights?
However, the envoy was stubborn and said, "Your Majesty, I am also stupid and can only come up with this method..."
"If you have the energy to do that, I'm willing to cooperate with you. Are you sure?"
The envoy nodded without hesitation: "Confirmed!"
Afterwards, the emperor agreed to the envoy's method, which was both laborious and ineffective. All the civil and military officials regarded it as a joke and dismissed the court.
The envoy led his men to search. Although it was tiring and required him to walk everywhere by himself, he gritted his teeth and persevered. The eunuch accompanying him yawned and said, "Sir, why don't you sit down and let your Tufan people search thoroughly! If I were to search the entire palace by myself, it would take days and nights!"
However, the envoy was very stubborn: "No, we must search! I will report to you when we return!"
Seeing that the envoy's persuasion was unsuccessful, the eunuch could only yawn and accompany him.
