Chapter 232 The Mistress of Prince Xuan’s Mansion

Prince Xuan's Palace.

Xia Ju brought Zhuang Qingyi to the yard where she lived without any obstruction.

The maidservant was shocked when she saw this and hurried over to greet her, "Princess, are you okay?"

Zhuang Qingyi was so angry that she felt like she was stuck in her chest and didn't want to speak at all.

How could she forget to bring medicine? It was just that the attack this time was not too severe, so she thought of pretending to be pitiful in front of her brother Heng. Maybe he would soften his heart?

Unexpectedly, Xie Zhuoning and his servant would come out and ruin her good deeds!

Seeing that she didn't say a word, Xia Ju thought she was too sick to speak, so she reminded the maid, "Medicine!"

When the maids heard this, they quickly helped their princess into the house and quickly got the medicine for her to take.

Zhuang Qingyi calmed down and turned around. She saw Xia Ju standing beside her, staring at her without blinking. She suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

"I'm fine, you can go."

Xia Ju shook her head, "No."

Her young lady had ordered that once the person had been sent there, he must not leave.

Otherwise, once you leave, if anything happens to the other party, they won't be able to explain themselves.

I am the dumbest person when it comes to talking, so to avoid trouble, it is better to just stare at her.

Zhuang Qingyi became more and more frustrated when she saw that the girl was not convinced no matter what she said. Suddenly, she remembered that Xie Zhuoning said he would bring a doctor to see her, and she couldn't help but curl her lips slightly.

The defenses of Prince Xuan's Mansion are tighter than those of the Imperial Palace, and not everyone can get in.

When Xie Zhuoning reaches the door, let the messenger leave her alone for a while until she has cooled down enough, and then let her in.

She must be made aware that the door to Prince Xuan's Mansion is not so easy to enter...

Just as I was thinking about it, two figures walked in from the door.

It was still that familiar, annoying voice.

"Princess Qingyi looks much better. I guess there's nothing serious going on, right?"

Zhuang Qingyi raised her eyes in disbelief and stared at her blankly, "How did you get in?"

"Huh?" Xie Zhuoning was confused by the question, "I walked in."

Her lightness skill was not as good as Xia Ju's, and she was bringing A Yu who didn't know martial arts with her, so naturally she couldn't use lightness skill to fly in.

Zhuang Qingyi's eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and her voice suddenly rose, "I'm asking you, how did you get into the gate of Prince Xuan's Mansion!"

Prince Xuan's mansion was heavily guarded, how could they just let her walk in so brazenly? !

Xie Zhuoning chuckled, "You're asking this? Xiao Jinxuan has already informed everyone in the mansion that I can come and go as I please in Prince Xuan's mansion, just like my own home."

When the guard at the gate saw her, he let her in without any resistance.

"Just treat it as... your own home..." These words pierced into Zhuang Qingyi's heart like a thorn.

She covered her chest with her hands, her face so pale that it seemed almost transparent.

Doesn't this mean that Xie Zhuoning is tacitly acknowledged as the mistress of Prince Xuan's Mansion?

No, Brother Heng would definitely not do this. This woman must be saying this to deceive herself!

Seeing her shortness of breath, Song Yuqiu hurriedly tugged at Xie Zhuoning's sleeve and said, "Sister Zhuoning, take it easy. This person is very weak. Don't make her angry to death with just a few words."

Xie Zhuoning nodded and said, "I understand. Go check her body."

After saying that, he sat down on the chair and leisurely ate the cakes on the table.

Song Yuqiu stepped forward, felt Zhuang Qingyi's pulse, and understood what was going on.

The condition isn't that serious. Judging from his appearance, I'm afraid he's trying to use torture on himself.

Since she wants to act, let her continue.

Song Yuqiu rolled his eyes and said, "The princess's condition is very serious. It seems that she needs to take strong medicine!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a large bottle from his arms and poured out a few black pills the size of eggs.

"This is a new medicine I developed for treating heart disease. Princess, as long as you take it, you will be back to normal in no time!"

Zhuang Qingyi's eyes widened, her face filled with shock, "All... all?"

Song Yuqiu nodded, "Yes."

She twitched her lips and said, "I have already taken the medicine and I feel much better. I don't need to take it anymore."

Not to mention whether these medicines are poisonous or not, just the pills are so big that anyone would choke to death if they swallowed them, right?

Moreover, the pill emits a foul smell. Who can eat it?

Song Yuqiu said seriously, "Hey, whether to take medicine or not is up to the doctor. Since Sister Zhuo Ning promised His Royal Highness Prince Xuan that she would make sure you are safe, then I must cure you. Otherwise, what if after we leave, you come to His Royal Highness Prince Xuan breathlessly and say that we didn't take good care of you?"

"Come on, eat all these pills, they are delicious~"

Song Yuqiu approached step by step, his face flickering in the light and shadow, and his tone was like the sound of hell that tempted people to fall.

Zhuang Qingyi retreated step by step, her face looking ugly and as pale as snow, "I... I don't want to eat..."

"Not taking it?" Song Yuqiu's face changed, his eyes dark and gloomy, "How can a patient not take medicine? Could it be that... the princess is pretending to be sick?"

It was like a heavy hammer hitting her heart, and Zhuang Qingyi's breathing stopped.

If she didn't take the medicine, they would tell Brother Heng that she was faking illness.

She couldn't even imagine how disappointed Brother Heng would be when he looked at her after he found out that she had deceived him.

There was no way out, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll eat it!"

Song Yuqiu smiled and said, "That's good."

Holding the huge pill, Zhuang Qingyi had no idea where to start. She could only close her eyes and eat it bite by bite.

Xie Zhuoning tilted his head slightly and lowered his voice, "Ayu, don't go too far."

After all, she is the princess and Xiao Jinxuan's childhood sweetheart, so it's not good to play tricks on her.

She said to take it easy, but she didn't take it easy at all.

Song Yuqiu covered half of her mouth with her hand and chuckled, "Don't worry, Sister Zhuoning, I made the pills by practicing, they are not poisonous, and other than being unpalatable, there are no side effects."

Since Princess Qingyi wants to use a self-torture tactic, let her suffer.

As they were talking, the maids from Prince Xuan's mansion brought tea and snacks.

When Song Yuqiu saw the pretty young lady, he immediately approached her and asked, "What are your names, young ladies?"

"The servant Song Lan."

"Your servant Kikyo."

"My servant Qu Lian."

"Amber, your servant."

"Huh?" Song Yuqiu held her chin in astonishment after hearing this. "Sister Zhuoning, did His Royal Highness Prince Xuan learn to name his maids from you? They are all named after traditional Chinese medicines."

There are Poria cocos, Perilla frutescens, Pinellia ternata, and Silverleaf scutellaria at home.

There are woad, platycodon, lotus and amber here.

Xie Zhuoning was startled and suddenly remembered the explanation Xiao Jinxuan gave her.

He said that the maids and servants hired by the Manchu mansion were originally prepared for her.

Now, hearing the little thought behind the name, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, forming dimples.

Zhuang Qingyi: “…”

I already felt that the pill was hard to swallow, and now after hearing all this, it feels even more like swallowing a fish bone.

She clenched her fists and her eyes darkened.

Song Yuqiu still felt that it was not enough, so she deliberately approached Xie Zhuoning's head and said, "Sister Zhuoning, this lover's flower and wood hairpin was carved by His Royal Highness Prince Xuan himself and given to you, right?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is really thoughtful. Look, there is a little mechanism here. With one press, it turns into a bud, and with another press, it turns into a blooming shape."

Originally, he said this to annoy Princess Qingyi, but unexpectedly, Xie Zhuoning's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Hairpin...mechanism..."

She knew where Captain Jian hid the list!
