Chapter 149 Xiao Tingye takes the blame again
After agreeing to Mingxi's deal, Mingxi also began to get rid of the embarrassing status of staying in the princess's mansion.
He began to stay with Lin Zhaoyue openly as her subordinate.
Just like Feng Mian and the others.
It’s just that it seems that the servants in the princess’s mansion have a different attitude towards Mingxi.
Although Mingxi has nominally become the princess's subordinate, the servants in the princess's mansion still seem to treat Mingxi as the princess's "little prince".
Mingxi also changed his previous cautious attitude in the princess's mansion. He became a little different. He walked with a swagger all day long, and his steps were full of wind.
But his temper is still as bad as ever.
Once something related to the princess is involved, he runs faster than anyone else.
Lin Zhaoyue sat in the yard, watching Mingxi talking to Mu Ying not far away.
Mu Ying was originally playing shuttlecock with some servants. Ming Xi saw it and insisted on joining in the fun, with a childlike mentality.
Lin Zhaoyue's lips also raised slightly.
Feng Mian stood beside him and said, "Your Highness did this on purpose. He wanted him to live for him."
Lin Zhaoyue also did not deny that, "Only when people have a goal to live for and capital can they live with confidence."
So now he doesn't have to always flatter or please me, nor does he need to be humble.
Doctor Xu, who was treating Lin Zhaoyue, also glanced at Mingxi not far away, and a trace of sympathy appeared in his eyes.
Seeing Master Mingxi today, it seems like the anger in my body has gotten even worse...
"How?" Lin Zhaoyue asked.
Doctor Xu immediately said respectfully, "Your Highness, I have already prepared an antidote for your condition. However, it will take a long time to take, so you won't feel better overnight. According to my grandfather's medical records, your illness is probably caused by something similar to a Gu, but it's not actually a Gu..."
He paused, "You should know that powerful Gu can often be cultivated according to the wishes of the person who casts the Gu, thus becoming their tool. However, this is extremely rare in the world. And your disease is similar to this..."
"Your Highness, have you ever heard of curses?" Doctor Xu suddenly spoke.
Lin Zhaoyue was stunned. "I've heard about this while traveling. It's said that there's a tribe that can use some secret method to cast a curse on others."
Doctor Xu nodded and said, "This is probably the disease you are suffering from."
Lin Zhaoyue also understood it immediately.
No wonder she sought medical help everywhere but to no avail.
[Oh, why didn't we think of this? Isn't this disease the author's curse?]
[I want to impose this setting on the princess, but this disease can't just appear out of thin air. To make it fit the logic of the book, will the plot in the book itself be resolved?]
[I feel a little scared when you say that...]
"That's normal. Look at the original text. When Marquis Xuanping rebelled, there was no mention of where he got his troops and weapons. But now it's been discovered that he was mining iron ore, right?"
Lin Zhaoyue frowned slightly.
"Logically speaking, this curse cannot be solved by relying on ordinary medical skills. But fortunately, my grandfather is also quite knowledgeable about this curse, and he integrated it with medical skills to find a way to break it." Doctor Xu was quite proud when he mentioned it.
"I didn't explain this to Her Royal Highness before because I hadn't found all the ingredients for the medicine yet. Now that I have, and I've successfully prepared the mixture, I dare to tell Her Royal Highness."
Lin Zhaoyue couldn't help but sigh, "Your ancestor was truly knowledgeable and talented."
Doctor Xu smiled and said, "Princess, you are too kind. We who study medicine should acquire more and broader knowledge. As long as it can save people from danger and disaster, and free them from suffering, we can call it medical skills."
Hearing what Doctor Xu said, Lin Zhaoyue also laughed.
"Now that the medicine is ready, Your Highness just needs to take it on time. I think it will be effective after taking it for a month." Doctor Xu placed a small box from his medicine box in front of Lin Zhaoyue.
"But your highness, you still need to be careful during this month... don't touch men." He lowered his voice when he said this.
Lin Zhaoyue nodded slightly, opened the box and took a look. There were several pills inside.
"Thank you, Doctor Xu." Lin Zhaoyue also chuckled.
Doctor Xu said a few polite words and said that it was his duty.
"Father, you should have already consulted Imperial Physician Xu." Although Lin Zhaoyue was smiling at this moment, there was no smile in her eyes.
Doctor Xu nodded and said, "After the court hearing that day, His Majesty summoned me upon my return."
After Lin Zhaoyue put away the medicine box, she looked at Mingxi, who was playing shuttlecock with Mu Ying and the others not far away. "What's your father's reaction?"
Doctor Xu lowered his head. "His Majesty is very angry and has ordered a thorough investigation of the harem. He has begun a strict investigation of everyone associated with Concubine Chun...including the Empress Dowager."
Lin Zhaoyue hummed lightly.
Her father was not a stupid man, on the contrary, he was very smart.
But men are often a little conceited.
Especially when it comes to women.
What's more, her father is the emperor who is high above everyone else.
Even if you don't love someone, it's still easy to have blind self-confidence.
So it was not easy for him to accept that Concubine Chun poisoned him.
But this incident will also make my father more vigilant about the situation in the harem, which is also a good thing.
If we trace it back to the Queen Mother... maybe there will be some surprises.
Doctor Xu looked at Ming Xi and couldn't help but sigh, "Young Master Ming Xi is truly a stunning beauty. Your Highness needs to treat him well and not be too harsh on him... He's still young after all, so it's normal for him to lose control of his temper. If you take that medicine long-term, it will still have a significant impact."
Lin Zhaoyue frowned, "What medicine?"
Doctor Xu thought the princess had asked this on purpose, so he put on an expression that said, "I understand everything." He slapped his own lips and kept silent. "Look at my mouth. Your Highness, don't worry. I will never say anything nonsense."
Lin Zhaoyue: “…”
Doctor Xu's expression made her frown slightly.
"Will that medicine harm him?" She had already guessed that what Doctor Xu was talking about was probably the medicine that Xiao Tingye fed Ming Xi.
But I don't know what medicine it is, so I asked this question.
Doctor Xu sighed, "Short-term use won't cause much harm, but it will be very painful. But if... you take it long-term, I'm afraid... it won't work in the future."
Lin Zhaoyue: "No, what?"
Doctor Xu coughed lightly and whispered, "Your Highness, what you are asking...don't you already know the answer?"
Lin Zhaoyue was silent for a moment.
Is she taking the blame for Xiao Tingye again?
Why is it that every time this person does something bad, she is always wrongly blamed?
After Doctor Xu delivered the medicine, he prepared to leave through the back door.
Recently, whenever Doctor Xu came to the Princess's Mansion to treat Lin Zhaoyue's illness, he did so secretly.
"Doctor Xu." Lin Zhaoyue suddenly spoke.
Doctor Xu stopped and immediately responded respectfully.
Lin Zhaoyue curled her lips and said, "Go through the main entrance."
Doctor Xu was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"
Lin Zhaoyue: "Feng Mian, escort Doctor Xu out of the Princess's residence and personally escort Doctor Xu back to the residence in the Princess's sedan chair."
Feng Mian immediately accepted the order: "Yes."
Doctor Xu was flattered, "Your Highness, this... this is not appropriate."
Lin Zhaoyue smiled, "Doctor Xu has traveled extensively to treat my illness. His hard work and contributions are truly deserved. Fengmian, please see him out."
Although Doctor Xu was a little worried when he saw this, he still nodded and did not dare to disobey.
Lin Zhaoyue seemed to know what he was worried about, and said calmly, "Don't worry, Doctor Xu. After today, no one will dare to trouble you again."
Doctor Xu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head even lower. After paying his respects, he followed Feng Mian away.
