Chapter 15 The Palace Demands the Jade Pendant
Ye Qianning paused while eating the cake, then looked up and said with a smile: "Why are you thanking me? It's all because of Fourth Aunt's good medical skills."
Princess Changyang held out a handkerchief to wipe the cake crumbs from the corner of her mouth, then tapped her nose and said, "Don't think I don't know. It was you who cured Xiang'er's rash, wasn't it?"
Ye Qianning was a little surprised that she saw through it.
"After spending a few days with you, I remembered the situation when you treated the patient that day. Fourth Aunt was being led away by you. We were so anxious and confused at the time that we didn't notice these things. It was you who gave Xiang'er the acupuncture, right?" Princess Changyang said slowly.
At first she really didn't pay attention. Who would have thought that a little kid of five or six years old knew medical skills? But the more they got along, the more she guessed it herself.
Ye Qianning rubbed her nose. No matter who treated her, the rash would be gone. She didn't expect that she was still obsessed with who cured her.
Did she fail?
"Don't worry, I don't mean anything else. I just want to thank you for curing Xiang'er." Princess Changyang pinched her chubby little face.
"Then can Fourth Auntie and I stay in the palace for a few more days?" Ye Qianning felt that he could not leave the palace for the time being and had to get the jade pendant back first.
"Of course." Princess Changyang thought of something and asked again, "I heard that you and Fourth Auntie came to the capital to look for relatives. It's been a few days and no one seems to have come to look for them. I wonder what relatives you are looking for."
"My father." Ye Qianning answered honestly.
"Your father?"
Princess Changyang was a little surprised.
"Well, the government said they have found my father. A few days ago, someone came and took away the token my mother gave me before she died. The government said they would take the token for identification, but many days have passed and the government has not made any move, nor has it returned our jade pendant." After Ye Qianning finished speaking, he lowered his head and took another bite of the dessert.
Princess Changyang felt that the matter was not simple after hearing this. Logically speaking, the government office would not be involved in matters such as finding relatives, and would not take away the token without returning it.
Ye Qianning secretly observed her expression and saw that she was a little suspicious. He then said, "Princess, can you help us get the jade pendant back? It doesn't matter if we can't find my father, but the jade pendant is my mother's last relic. I can't lose it."
"I'll have someone go to the government office and ask about this. If it's true, I'll definitely take care of it for you and get the jade pendant back." Princess Changyang said to the maid, "Go and ask the housekeeper to go and make sure the government office gives an explanation."
"Yes." The maid retreated.
"Thank you, Princess." Ye Qianning smiled with her little face tilted up.
She didn't believe that her dead father wouldn't show up if the palace came forward.
"You're welcome. I wonder who is so lucky to have such a smart daughter like you." Princess Changyang likes Ye Qianning very much. It may be because she is of similar age to her daughter and Xiang'er likes her very much.
After finishing the pastry, Ye Qianning rubbed her body with her hands and did not respond when she heard this.
"Who did you learn medicine from at such a young age?" Princess Changyang was curious.
"The old man in the village, the children in the village often get rashes, they will get better if they see him more often."
"The imperial physician in the palace is not as good as the country doctor." Princess Changyang sighed secretly.
The royal doctors all claimed to be very capable and competent, but they failed at the critical moment.
Xiang'er's rash appeared suddenly, and the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician made it even worse. If she hadn't been diagnosed and treated in time, her whole body would probably have been ulcerated by now.
"But no one will have both rashes at the same time," Ye Qianning reminded.
