"sorry."
The babyish voice brought Song Ziyu back.
He lowered his head to look at the cute and well-behaved child, and perhaps because he was afraid that he would scare her, he pulled the corner of his mouth.
"It's okay, no need to apologize to uncle."
I looked at Song Ziyu with full of curiosity, and couldn't help comparing him with the older brother I met on the boat last time. I felt that the older brother was more handsome.
Song Ziyu didn't know what he was thinking about, his eyes were dim, as if he wanted to see through her.
"Doctor Ning, how did you get to know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
The crown prince is the heir to the throne of the Daji Dynasty, but Ning Yu is just a minor doctor. These two people with completely different identities got off the same carriage.
It really made Song Ziyu suspicious.
Ning Yu was not surprised that Song Ziyu would ask her this question. In a few words, he explained the situation between her and Ji Yun.
But there was no mention of her saving the prince in Xinghua Village.
"I'm very grateful to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for saving my daughter's life. I think he gave me a ride because we've met once."
Although Ning Yu was beautiful, her eyes were extremely clear, without the slightest thought of trying to curry favor with a rich and powerful person.
Song Ziyu cursed himself inwardly. How could he suspect that she was interested in getting close to the Crown Prince? It was obvious that the Crown Prince had intentions towards Ning Yu!
Otherwise, why would he send a woman he had only met once to a place for no reason?
"If there's anything wrong with the clinic, you can come find me at the Song Mansion."
Song Ziyu forced himself to suppress his turbulent emotions and walked out with big strides, his clothes fluttering in the wind.
Manman thought of the strange Song Ziyu and glanced at Ning Yu again, "Mom, do you want to choose him as my father?"
Ning Yu didn't mind telling Manman, so she squatted down and looked at her straight in the eye.
"That depends on his performance. If he's not nice to Manman, Mom won't want him."
Manman chuckled and hugged Ning Yu's waist tightly, "Mom is so nice."
Ning Yu held Manman's hand and walked towards the backyard, her voice gentle, "Let's go, didn't Aunt Feng say she made something delicious?"
At this time, Song Ziyu had returned to the Song Mansion. After thinking for a long time, he decided to give up sending someone to investigate Ning Yu's contacts.
How could such a kind and beautiful woman lie to him?
He should give Ning Yu the trust he deserves.
At this time, a confidant dressed in black knocked on the study and hurried in, "Master, the Third Prince is in the hall now."
Song Ziyu frowned, walked towards the hall, and asked in a low voice, "When did the Third Prince arrive?"
"It's been a while." replied the confidant.
In the hall, a man wearing a dark-colored brocade robe with gold piping, a purple-gold crown on his head, and a golden jade belt around his waist sat leisurely on a chair.
Song Ziyu walked over and slowly saluted the Third Prince Ji Chen. "I wonder what the Third Prince wants to see you about?"
Ji Chen flicked his sleeves, stood up, and casually patted Song Ziyu's left arm. "Commander, have you heard about the assassination of the Zhenbei Marquis?"
Song Ziyu looked calm, "I heard about it. What does this have to do with me?"
Ji Chen naturally didn't believe that it had nothing to do with him, so he pinched Song Ziyu's left arm hard.
There was no trace of pain on Song Ziyu's face. He brushed away Ji Chen's hand, deliberately showing a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Third Prince, although you are a prince and a descendant of the Emperor, you cannot humiliate me like this. If you continue to treat me like this, don't blame me for reporting you to the Emperor."
Ji Chen was secretly annoyed. Could Song Ziyu's arm recover so quickly?
Originally, he wanted to use Song Ziyu's assassination of Zhenbei Hou as a handle to threaten him to stand on his side.
Ji Chen quickly regained his gentle demeanor and said, "Commander-in-Chief, I am at fault. I still need to go to the palace to visit the Empress. Farewell."
Ji Chen returned to the carriage, his expression suddenly darkening. He said grimly, "Come here, find out where Song Ziyu went today."
At night, the spy came to report.
"Song Ziyu went to Shanrentang, a medical clinic in the south of the city, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's carriage also passed by Shanrentang..." The spy said this with a hint of uncertainty in his tone, "It seems he was going to see Ning Yu, the female doctor in charge at Shanrentang."
Everyone in the capital knew that the prince was not interested in women.
Ji Chen raised his eyebrows, and a hint of meaning flashed in his eyes.
"The prince has been delaying his marriage for the past few years. He wouldn't let a woman get on the carriage for no reason. There must be something wrong. Let's go and investigate."
Ji Chen suddenly remembered something and asked casually, "How did the last time I asked you to investigate Song Ning from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion go?"
This woman actually dared to secretly find him at the banquet and tell him to help him seize the throne.
I don't know if I'm too brave or too stupid!
"Song Ning is the second daughter of the Zhenbei Marquisate. She was recently brought back from the countryside. She doesn't have a good relationship with the eldest daughter of the Zhenbei Marquisate, Song Xueqing. I heard that Song Ning is smart and clever, and that the Zhenbei Marquis once avoided disaster thanks to Song Ning's reminder..."
Ji Chen narrowed his eyes and tapped the table with his slender fingers.
"Song Ning grew up in the countryside, how could she understand the affairs of the imperial court? She must have some secrets in her heart... You should investigate further."
"yes."
The spy clasped his fists and retreated.
Prince's Mansion.
Ji Yun had her black hair loose and slightly moistened, and was wearing a snow-white undergarment. She only flipped through two or three pages in half a minute, and finally called Shi Ba over.
"When did Song Ziyu leave the clinic?"
Shi Ba was not surprised. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been very concerned about Miss Ning recently. "About half an hour."
"So long? It seems Song Ziyu is seriously ill."
Shi Ba was silent for a moment. His Highness had a very poisonous tongue.
Ji Yun had a hint of sarcasm on his face and snorted coldly, "Shi Ba, tomorrow morning you take my token and go get him a doctor. Make sure he gets good treatment."
"·····yes."
Your Highness, are you jealous of Miss Ning?
The next day.
In order to spread out the collected herbs and dry them in the sun, Ning Yu and Feng'er got up very early.
After spreading out the herbs, the two men were sweating profusely from exhaustion.
Ning Yu estimated the clinic's recent revenue and thought for a moment, "Looks like we need to hire a few more people."
After Ning Yu finished collecting the herbs, he immediately wrote a recruitment notice and asked Feng'er to post it on the door of the clinic.
As the clinic became more and more famous, the remuneration was very good, and the medicine boy was quickly recruited.
Feng'er came in with a large bag of rice, and Ning Yu couldn't help but complain a few words, "I don't know what's going on recently, the price of rice has doubled."
Ning Yu seemed to be lost in thought.
If she remembered correctly, there would be a flood in Jiangnan in half a month, but the flood had not happened yet. Why was the price of rice rising so fast?
Unless someone is hoarding food.
Ning Yu suddenly thought of the reborn heroine. The storybook wrote that in order to make a lot of money for herself, Song Ning sent people to buy rice in advance, and finally made a fortune.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Ning Yu's eyes.
