Chapter 204 The Smell of Powder
"You guys chat, I have something to say to Mr. Bai." Nan Jiao said. Originally, she planned to go with him when he returned to Penglai Island.
But now she can't leave the capital.
Old man Xiao is on his way here and will miss us.
Wait till he comes.
She should also go to Penglai Island.
Luo Jinshuang hasn't appeared recently, and it seems that she has returned to Penglai Island.
"I also have something I want to ask Mr. Bai." Feng said quickly and just wanted to leave here as soon as possible and didn't want to stay any longer.
"You guys go." Zhan Yeyuan said.
After they left.
There were only two brothers left in the hall.
…
"Nan Jiao, if you have something to say, go ahead and I will ask Mr. Bai later." Feng looked at Nan Jiao gently and said, then turned around and left quickly.
Thinking of the way the prince looked at her before, her heart began to beat fast.
She learned those things from Mr. Bai and didn't tell him.
Oh, it’s so worrying!
She seemed to have found herself in a dead end, and she didn't know when she would see a new way out.
in the garden.
Nan Jiao and Bai Lao walked towards the pavilion.
"What does Princess Jin want to say?" Old Bai looked at her with a smile.
"It's nothing, actually. I just wanted to ask you for a favor." Nan Jiao didn't beat around the bush.
"You say." Mr. Bai was naturally very willing. He was old and didn't know how long he could live. What he was most worried about was his granddaughter.
Now that Bai Qin has become her disciple, he is not so worried anymore.
"Luo Jinshuang, when you go back, I want you to help me investigate her and the owner of the southern shore of Penglai Island."
"Okay, I'll help you find out." Bai Chun agreed readily. Although everyone was on Penglai Island, it was divided into two because of a river.
Therefore, people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait do not move around very often.
For example, he rarely went to South Bank. Besides, he didn't support the research on various poisons there, so he would never go to South Bank.
"Thank you."
"Princess Jin is too polite. If I really have to thank someone, it should be me who should thank you." Old Bai said while stroking his beard. He felt that this trip was particularly worthwhile.
Nan Jiao knew he was referring to her accepting Bai Qin as her apprentice, "Bai Qin is going back with you?"
Old Bai shook his head. "Given her level, you should let her stay in the capital and study medicine with you. You should discipline her for me."
"Just leave her to me." Nan Jiao promised.
"Haha, I'm relieved." Mr. Bai laughed heartily. He felt most relieved to leave it to her.
Then the two started talking about other things.
But Nan Jiao still didn't reveal that she had been to Penglai Island before. She would tell him when the opportunity arose.
…
Prince Rui's Palace.
Jiang Zhiyan asked the kitchen to prepare dinner carefully, intending to eat together with Zhan Qingheng when he returned. Today, she went to the palace to pay her respects to her mother, and she stared at her belly several times.
Obviously he hopes she gets pregnant soon.
But she and Zhan Qingheng haven't slept together yet, so she can't get pregnant whenever she wants.
But she couldn't tell the truth.
Waited for a long time.
It was pitch black outside and Zhan Qingheng still hadn't come back. It started to drizzle outside, the temperature dropped instantly, and the dishes on the table gradually cooled down.
Banxia quickly entered the yard holding an umbrella and then walked towards the dining room.
"Princess, the prince has not returned to the palace yet, and the dragon guard is not here either. I guess he is still busy with official business." Banxia put away the oil-paper book and could only say this.
These days, the prince comes to the princess' courtyard less often.
Even if I come, I won't stay long, let alone spend the night here.
Jiang Zhiyan looked at the dishes on the table that were no longer steaming, and her heart, like the dishes, gradually grew colder. "Has he been close to Pang Jingyi these days?"
"Yes..." Banxia said in a low voice.
Jiang Zhiyan's expression suddenly turned cold and sharp, with a harsh chill in her eyes. How dare a mere concubine's daughter seduce her prince?
She wanted to change her fate by marrying into a rich family, but unfortunately she chose the wrong person.
You should never look for her man.
She and Zhan Qingheng had just gotten married, and she was already flirting with other men. If she hadn't taken the initiative, the prince would definitely not let her, a concubine's daughter, get close to him.
Pang Jingyi had tried to show her affection to the prince many times before, but he simply ignored her at that time.
Why would he give Pang Jingyi the chance to get close to him now?
"Find an opportunity. I want to see her tomorrow." Jiang Zhiyan clenched the handkerchief tightly with both hands, with such force that it seemed as if she wanted to tear it into pieces.
"Yes." Banxia said respectfully with her head lowered.
"You go down."
"Princess, how about you eat first?"
"Go down."
"yes."
Suddenly, Jiang Zhiyan was the only one left in the dining room. She sat alone and didn't eat with chopsticks.
Until very late.
Zhan Qingheng came to her yard holding an umbrella and saw her sitting at the table with the food on the table completely untouched and her little face pale and bloodless.
When Jiang Zhiyan saw him coming in, she quickly stood up and bowed, "I am honored to meet you, Your Majesty."
Zhan Qingheng strode forward to help her, holding her thin little hand, frowning and saying, "Why don't you eat? You don't have to wait until I come back."
"Your Highness, how long has it been since you last had dinner with me?" Jiang Zhiyan looked at him pitifully since the day he met the Medical Saint again.
He rarely came to her yard anymore, let alone had meals with her.
She knew she shouldn't ask for too much.
But she is a woman, and she still longs for her husband to have a meal with her.
Zhan Qingheng looked into her eyes and felt a little guilty. He had indeed neglected her these days and it was not intentional.
"Your Highness, did I do something wrong?" Jiang Zhiyan said with red eyes, tears falling like beads from a broken string.
She cried so aggrieved and pitiful that people couldn't help but feel sympathy for her.
"You didn't do anything wrong. I just didn't dare get close to you because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to control myself and would touch you, which would affect the treatment." Zhan Qingheng comforted her.
In fact, he had been fine ever since the Medical Saint gave him acupuncture that day.
The reason why he didn't come to Jiang Zhiyan's yard was that he was afraid that he would want to touch her, which might affect him in that aspect, and the Medical Saint was not in the capital at the moment.
What should he do?
Therefore, he could only ignore her temporarily.
Jiang Zhiyan was stunned, her eyes shining with water, "Is that so?"
Zhan Qingheng reached out and wiped her tears. "Well, the Medical Saint said I can't touch you. I can only stay away from you, so I won't be able to hold back."
After saying this, he pulled her into his arms and hugged her.
Jiang Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief and felt much better. So that was the case. She asked him why he suddenly ignored her.
Sudden.
She smelled the scent of woman's perfume on him.
Although very bland.
But she still smelled it and it was not the perfume she used before.
Did he just hug another woman?
Jiang Zhiyan's face suddenly turned pale and she was shaking with anger. They had only been married for less than half a month, how could he hug other women?
Fortunately, he is not good at that.
Otherwise, will he touch other women?
"What's wrong with you?" Zhan Qingheng felt her body trembling and asked with concern.
"Your Highness, I feel a little cold." Jiang Zhiyan snuggled into his arms, he held her tightly with both hands, with a vicious light in his eyes.
She wants to kill that Pang Jingyi!
