Jiang Yuwei couldn't figure out the key to it. Seeing that Ning Zixuan's condition had stabilized, she removed the silver needles from his body.
"Keep a close eye on your master. Give him three cold baths, making sure the water is cold enough. After the cold baths, give him a warm bath, then change his clothes and help him to bed to rest. Once he's better, have him come find me."
After saying that, Jiang Yuwei left Ning Zixuan's courtyard and hurried to the Princess's courtyard. She had promised to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with the Princess tonight, and she couldn't keep the Princess waiting for too long, lest she start overthinking.
Jiang Yuwei doesn't plan to tell the Princess about Ning Zixuan's situation today. As for whether Ning Zixuan will tell the Princess after he wakes up, that will be up to his own decision.
When Jiang Yuwei arrived at the Princess's courtyard, Yun Qing had already brought Ning Wan back and was in the courtyard feeding the cats with the Princess.
Jiang Yuwei smiled and walked forward.
"Alright, Wan'er, let's play with the cat again in a little while. It's time for dinner. Mother made some delicious mooncakes tonight. After we finish eating, we'll eat them together while looking at the moon."
Ning Wan nodded happily upon hearing this. Jiang Yuwei and the Princess took Ning Wan's hand and led her to the dining table, while Ning Zhao obediently followed behind. After everyone was seated,
The princess looked at the table full of delicious food and sighed softly.
“This Mid-Autumn Festival should be a time for family reunion, but now only a few of us are left. The Prince and Huaizhi are still suffering on the border. How can you expect me to eat this meal?”
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei quickly picked up a piece of braised pork for the princess.
"Your Highness, please don't worry. I've heard that the troops on the border have started returning to the capital. It shouldn't be long before our family is reunited. They are blessed with good fortune, so you don't need to worry. Quickly try this meat; it's stewed until tender and very delicious."
Hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, the princess felt a glimmer of hope. She picked up a piece of meat from her bowl, took a bite, and nodded.
"It's not dry or greasy, it's really delicious."
As she spoke, the princess placed a piece in each of Ning Wan's and Ning Zhao's bowls.
"You two should try some too. You're growing, so you need to eat well."
The four were enjoying their meal when they heard a maid rush in and call out:
"It's terrible! Your Highness, you must go to the eldest young master's courtyard immediately! Right now, the eldest young master is beating the first wife to death!"
The princess exchanged a glance with Jiang Yuwei after hearing this, and then spoke calmly:
"Go out and tell Ning Chunlin to behave himself and not cause any deaths at this critical moment. That's all I can do."
Upon closer inspection, Jiang Yuwei realized that the maid who came in to report was none other than the one who served Sun Shi personally. She seemed genuinely worried for her, indicating that Sun Shi had cultivated a few trusted confidantes since entering the household.
Seeing the maid's troubled expression, Jiang Yuwei put down her chopsticks and asked:
"How did today's events escalate?"
The maid knew Jiang Yuwei's status in the household, so she didn't dare to be negligent. She quickly bowed to Jiang Yuwei and said:
"Today, our lady thought it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, a night for family reunion, so she specially prepared some food to take to the eldest young master's courtyard, wanting to spend the festival with him properly."
The maid glanced timidly at the princess and continued:
"But who would have thought that the madam only said that the young master no longer had a man, and that she would not dislike or despise him in the future. The young master then got angry and hit the madam. Now the young lady is crying in fear."
Jiang Yuwei saw that this Sun was really asking for trouble. Ning Chunlin had just lost that thing and was in a bad mood. His mind must have changed. But Sun actually went to her door to talk about this. Jiang Yuwei thought that the beating she received was worth it.
Thinking this, Jiang Yuwei waved to the maid.
"Just do as the princess instructed. The princess is not well now, so please don't bother her with things in your courtyard."
Seeing this, the maid had no choice but to leave.
After everyone had left, the princess picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.
"Hmph, this family is really good at seeking attention. Can't they just let me have a peaceful Mid-Autumn Festival? They've ruined the reputation of the Prince Jing's Mansion. I haven't even done anything to them yet, but they're coming here to cause trouble every few days."
Jiang Yuwei smiled and picked up a piece of meat for the princess.
"Your Highness, please don't get upset over irrelevant people. Let them fight amongst themselves. We can just wait patiently for the Prince and Huaizhi to return to the manor."
The princess nodded to Jiang Yuwei.
"Yuwei, it's a good thing I have someone as caring as you by my side. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't be able to get that brat Zixuan to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with me. I wonder how he's doing out shopping with Miss Wang right now."
Upon hearing the princess's words, Jiang Yuwei coughed a few times.
"Sigh, we can't interfere too much in the affairs of young people. Let them go about their own business."
With a few words, the matter was covered up. After the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner, Jiang Yuwei took the two children to accompany the princess to admire the moon for a while before leaving.
The next day,
When Ning Zixuan woke up, he felt a splitting headache. The maidservant serving him saw that Ning Zixuan was awake and quickly brought him a basin of water.
"Your Highness, you're finally awake! You fainted when you came back yesterday, which terrified us."
Seeing that Ning Zixuan had washed his face, the maidservant quickly handed him a towel.
"Fortunately, Madam Jiang helped yesterday. By the way, she also told me to remember to go see her after you wake up."
Ning Zixuan threw the towel back into the basin and nodded.
"Help me change my clothes, I was planning to go see my sister-in-law today anyway."
The maidservant hurriedly put down the copper basin in her hand, helped Ning Zixuan change his clothes, and then withdrew.
Ning Zixuan was thinking of asking Jiang Yuwei why he had suddenly fainted yesterday, and also wanted to tell her about Wang Yurou, so he went to Jinglan Pavilion without delay.
"Sister-in-law, are you going out?"
Ning Zixuan had just arrived at Jinglan Pavilion when he saw Jiang Yuwei about to leave.
"Young Master, you've arrived. I'm fine, I was just thinking of going to the shop today to check on you. How are you feeling these days?"
Jiang Yuwei gestured for Ning Zixuan to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard to chat.
Ning Zixuan rubbed his forehead.
"Right now, I just feel a bit of a headache, but nothing else."
Jiang Yuwei smiled.
"It's nothing, it'll be fine in a bit. It's just a side effect of the aphrodisiac. How did you end up like this yesterday..."
Jiang Yuwei thought about it but didn't say it. After all, it would be unreasonable for someone of her status to ask such a question. So, Jiang Yuwei looked at Ning Zixuan and waited for his reply.
Ning Zixuan frowned and pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice:
"I only drank alcohol after I went out yesterday. Could there be something wrong with that tavern?"
