"Princess Xiangyun, this way please—"
The prince's close attendants all made polite gestures, inviting him to enter.
Jiang Yue openly glanced at the male protagonist of the original book a few times. Hmm, not bad, he was indeed a handsome and dashing man.
That skill, that demeanor—he definitely has the air of a male lead!
Thinking about their own Qingyun team, it's no wonder they lost; it's not surprising.
Seeing that the Crown Prince was being somewhat polite, he bowed slightly in greeting, then, accompanied by his maternal grandfather, followed behind his attendants...
In January and February, they were taken to a place to wait and were unable to follow.
Old Master Gu's medicine box was carried by a designated person, which saved him some effort.
The Eastern Palace truly lives up to its name; it is magnificent and resplendent, with exquisitely crafted pavilions and towers. Everywhere you look, there is a beautiful view.
Compared to the Eastern Palace, Princess Jiang Yue's mansion was like heaven and earth; it was something to be envied.
No wonder, some people fight and struggle for that supreme position.
Tsk tsk, such extravagance is dazzling.
The attendant's name was Zhang Xianzhong, a trusted confidant who had served the Crown Prince since childhood.
The Crown Prince ordered him to escort Princess Xiangyun and her accompanying physician, so that some people would keep an eye on them and prevent them from causing trouble in secret.
But it's strange, is this princess really a person of strong emotions?
Or is he deliberately acting so vulgar?
It's quite rare to see people commenting on the scenery of the Eastern Palace along the way...
Inviting the Moon Palace —
A group of people knelt outside the hall, and the aroma of medicine wafted through the air.
Jiang Yue sniffed, her brows furrowing.
I looked up at my grandfather, and he had the same expression.
The grandfather and grandson, understanding each other without words, followed behind the attendants to the palace gate.
"Your Highness, Princess Xiangyun has arrived."
"Please come in quickly—"
"Squeak~"
As soon as the palace doors opened, a foul odor wafted out.
The moment Jiang Yue lifted her foot, she suddenly guessed that the Crown Prince hadn't come over because he disliked the smell.
That makes sense.
Grandpa Gu took back his medicine box, then naturally found a mask and put it on.
"Greetings, Your Highness, Consort."
Jiang Yue raised her head and gave a slight bow.
There's no way around it; a higher-ranking official can crush you.
As the Crown Prince's concubine, if the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future, she will at least be a Noble Consort.
Even though her rank is higher than hers, her gift is still worthwhile.
"This humble subject greets Your Highness, the Concubine."
Grandpa Gu clasped his hands in a fist salute but did not perform the full kneeling ceremony.
"Please, no need for formalities! I beg you, Princess and this old gentleman, to save my child!"
Shangguan Xian'er didn't care about etiquette; she only hoped that someone could save her Chan'er!
These imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Academy have been utterly useless for the past two weeks!
They only knew how to keep Chan'er alive with ginseng soup, but they couldn't cure the smallpox epidemic!
If things continue like this, how long can her Chan'er live?
Just when she was about to lose hope, Caixia told her that the Crown Prince had pleaded with the Empress, and the Imperial Decree ordered the Princess of Yunshui County to bring people to rescue Chan'er!
An epidemic broke out in Yunshui County, and Princess Xiangyun took the lead in getting vaccinated against smallpox!
Shangguan Xian'er hated that she wasn't studying medicine or history; she hated that she was a terrible student!
I wish I could take Chan'er's place and get sick instead!
She didn't know the background of the princess of Yunshui County at first, but after hearing Caixia's explanation, she regained her hope.
"Your Highness, please rest assured, we will do our best."
This was the first time Jiang Yue had seen the female lead, and a line of poetry immediately came to mind:
Huanhuan, with her slender waist like that of a palace maid from Chu, now, with the arrival of spring, her beauty fades and her fragrance vanishes.
The original text seemed to describe the female protagonist as having fair skin and an extraordinary appearance, which she thought was all made up by the author. Now that she sees it, she realizes that her imagination was lacking.
With such beauty, it's no wonder she has captured the emperor's heart.
No wonder the male lead fell in love at first sight. It's just a pity that the current plot has deviated somewhat from the original story; the once-beloved Crown Princess has become the Crown Prince's concubine...
"Please dismiss your attendants, Your Highness, and open the doors and windows to let in some fresh air."
Old Master Gu was unmoved by beauty.
His heart is only for his wife, maybe with a granddaughter, and if he squeezes in a little more, maybe with a grandson.
Hurry up and get to work so I can take my granddaughter home.
Otherwise, his wife will worry about him, and she won't eat or sleep well, which will break his heart.
"good."
Shangguan Xian'er is now desperate and completely obeys the two men.
A moment later, only she and Caixia remained in the hall; Shan'er stayed behind.
Seeing this, Jiang Yue remained silent and quietly cooperated with her grandfather.
I opened the medicine box, took out the tools: a scalpel, an alcohol burner, gauze, cotton swabs, and the smallpox vaccine I had prepared in advance.
In the cradle, the tiny, thin baby was curled up together.
Many red bumps appeared on my body, including my face; some I even scratched open...
How pitiful.
Grandpa Gu sighed, picked up the little guy's wrist, took his pulse for a while, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
Fortunately, this young princess still has a chance to survive.
Then he picked up a scalpel and gestured in mid-air, considering where to inoculate with smallpox.
Shangguan Xian'er's eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't help but ask:
"May I ask, Your Highness, is this...is this really going to save Chan'er?"
"Yes, the people of Yunshui County were spared from the smallpox calamity thanks to Old Master Gu's help."
Jiang Yue nodded, stood up, and stood in front of her grandfather, continuing with a serious expression:
"After Old Master Gu finishes vaccinating the young princess with smallpox, he will continue to vaccinate the concubine and everyone who has come into contact with the young princess."
Only by getting vaccinated against smallpox can you avoid contracting it!
Shangguan Xian'er was taken aback, then nodded. "If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them."
The Crown Prince has swallowed his pride and pleaded with the Empress, and has also invited people to the Eastern Palace. There can be no mistake!
She had to trust Princess Xiangyun and Doctor Gu, and she also had to trust that the Crown Prince wouldn't harm Chan'er...
"Wow wow wow~"
The young princess let out a piercing cry as the smallpox vaccination began.
Caixia gave Princess Xiangyun a deep look before knocking her mistress unconscious.
"Caixia, you—"
Shan'er stared wide-eyed at her best friend, puzzled.
why is that?
"Your Highness is tired. Just in case, please help me to the soft couch."
Caixia calmly explained that she was afraid her master would be upset to see the young master's appearance, so she knocked him unconscious first.
If the master wants to punish me, wait until the master wakes up, and then the master can punish me as he pleases!
"good."
Shan'er nodded, understanding what Caixia meant.
She'll be included too; if the concubine blames her, she'll be punished as well!
What a loyal maid!
Jiang Yue clicked her tongue inwardly, then turned around to help her grandfather treat the little princess's wounds.
The smallpox vaccination has been completed, but it needs to be observed for a day; this cannot be taken lightly!
"This child is so pitiful."
"Grandpa Gu sighed, his voice very low," he said.
"Um?"
Jiang Yue met her grandfather's eyes, then looked at the little guy's body, especially his face...
"It's okay, she's still young, and there are ways to remove these scars."
"I hope so, otherwise, it will be so hard for a girl when she grows up~"
