When the eldest princess and Gao Zhenzhen woke up, Nangong Yu put them in a room to take care of them and ordered Chen Long to investigate the cause of their poisoning.
Gao Zhenzhen woke up first.
This time, she gambled her life, wanting to sabotage Ling Xiang's plan to save the princess, and also wanting to snatch the antidote from the princess.
She's fine now, so does that mean the eldest princess...
She suppressed her inner joy and hurriedly asked Nangong Yu beside the bed: "Your Majesty, how is the eldest princess?"
"Don't worry, Uncle Helian saved you, you are all fine."
"Are you okay?" Gao Zhenzhen was horrified. She blinked, suppressed her inappropriate emotions, and forced a smile. "That's great, I'm okay..."
Nangong Yu opened the door and invited Doctor Li, the palace's best detoxifier, to come in and treat Gao Zhenzhen.
Gao Zhenzhen found that she was not in her bed. She looked around and saw another bed next to her. Lying on the bed was the unconscious princess.
This time, I failed to kill the princess, all because of Ling Xiang. She clearly didn't like the princess either, so why did she take out the Ksitigarbha Vine? Why didn't she pretend to be powerless and that the acupuncture had failed?
No, she has to continue to find a way to kill Ling Xiang!
Doctor Li came in, treated Gao Zhenzhen respectfully, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Highness! Miss Gao's poison has been completely cured."
Nangong Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Doctor Li. Could you please take another look at Zhenzhen's heart disease?"
Doctor Li bowed and said, "This isn't something I'm good at. Why don't we ask another doctor to take a look?"
Nangong Yu nodded: "Okay."
Gao Zhenzhen immediately suggested, "Your Highness, the princess hasn't woken up yet. It would be bad for me to disturb her here. Why don't I go back to my room first and ask the doctors to come to my courtyard to see her?"
Nangong Yu agreed: "Then I'd like to trouble all the imperial doctors to treat Zhenzhen well."
Gao Zhenzhen returned to her own courtyard and asked the imperial doctors to treat her.
Imperial physicians have always been conservative in their treatments, and since they were already familiar with Gao Zhenzhen's heart disease, the results of their diagnosis and treatment did not change much, and they simply told her to take good care of herself.
After giving the imperial physicians big red envelopes and sending all the doctors away, Gao Zhenzhen called on Nanny Gao to invite in all the doctors from outside the palace.
Seeing a doctor is not the purpose, her real intention is to find a useful person.
Gao Zhenzhen deliberately pulled her clothes down, revealing some of the things that should and shouldn't be revealed. Without waiting for the doctor to examine her, she took out a tray of gold and pushed it in front of the doctor, saying in a soft voice:
"Doctor, I'm leaving my illness in your hands..."
Under the huge temptation of beauty and money, Gao Zhenzhen finally found the man she wished for.
Elsewhere, the eldest princess woke up and asked Nangong Yu about what happened. She advised again, "Yu'er, Ling Xiang's engagement with you cannot be cancelled! She risked her life to save me, and now you're breaking off the engagement. Isn't that something people will talk about?"
In fact, before the eldest princess was poisoned today, Nangong Yu had thought about delaying the cancellation of the engagement.
He didn't know why he was like that, but he was indeed shaken in his heart.
But now, thinking of Ling Xiang's exhausted look today, and her resistance to him when she was weak, he knew that he could not break his promise and could not force Ling Xiang to turn against him and break up with him. Perhaps, she would fight with him and would not give up.
He knew she could do it.
"Mother, Ling Xiang risked her life to save you. Even if it was for this life-saving grace, I cannot force her to marry me."
The eldest princess really wanted to slap her son to wake him up:
"What do you know! Even if she's having a hard time right now, as long as you break up with Gao Zhenzhen and get married in the future, she'll definitely fall in love with you! Besides, Ling Xiang is already yours. If you really don't marry her, you'll be harming her!"
Nangong Yu lowered his eyes and sighed: "Mother, in fact, nothing happened between Ling Xiang and me that night. She is still innocent..."
The eldest princess was stunned. "What? You two were like that, and you didn't touch her? Then how did you cure the poison?"
"Ling Xiang brought the antidote." Nangong Yu didn't want to dwell on this matter. "Mother, I have made up my mind. I will go to the palace tomorrow to ask the emperor to cancel the engagement."
The eldest princess was worried that her son would make a mistake, so she told him the truth: "Yu'er! Do you know that Ling Xiang's identity is not simple? She is the daughter of destiny! Marrying her will only benefit you!"
Now it was Nangong Yu's turn to be stunned: "What do you mean by 'girl of destiny'?"
"The girl of destiny is even more favored by heaven than those with great luck. Marry her and you can conquer the world!"
Nangong Yu shook his head: "I'm not a prince, what do I want in this world?"
"She can help you practice!"
Nangong Yu still shook his head: "My own cultivation speed is not slow, I don't need help from others."
For the first time, the eldest princess regretted raising her son to be so proud. He was too proud. If it were someone else, knowing Ling Xiang's identity, they would definitely use all means to take her for themselves!
"She can also help our Nangong family prosper!"
Nangong Yu was very confident: "Don't worry, mother, I can definitely do all of this with my own strength!"
The eldest princess was so angry that her chest hurt, "Yu'er! Why don't you understand?"
"Mother, you don't understand me!" Nangong Yu said firmly, "You must believe in your son. He will definitely earn the prosperity you want for you! Ling Xiang, she doesn't love me, let's let her go..."
The eldest princess couldn't persuade her son, so she had to find another way: "What about you? Do you really not like Ling Xiang at all?"
Do you like her? Nangong Yu asked himself.
No, the only person he could love was Gao Zhenzhen, who had given everything for him! Only her!
Nangong Yu shook his head: "I only like Zhenzhen. She is my savior. She loves me wholeheartedly. I am the only one she has..."
The princess was so angry she nearly fainted. "You've been blinded by Gao Zhenzhen! Have you ever considered that Gao Zhenzhen doesn't know any medical skills and had no spiritual power before she met you? How could she have saved you?"
Nangong Yu explained: "The woman who saved me was also a mortal and didn't know any medical skills. Even though I have lost my five senses and can't see or hear, I can still feel that she is a very gentle girl."
The eldest princess' chest heaved with rage. "Alright, I'm done with you! I'm putting this out there. Even if you don't marry Ling Xiang, you can't marry Gao Zhenzhen as your principal wife! She can only be a concubine!"
Nangong Yu quickly comforted the princess: "Mother, you have just been detoxified, don't get excited, I promise you, let Zhenzhen be your concubine."
"Don't forget, Gao Zhenzhen suffers from a heart disease that has damaged her body and prevented her from conceiving. You must marry a wife to continue the family line!"
Previously, it was because the eldest princess told Nangong Yu that Gao Zhenzhen could not get pregnant that he agreed to hold a flower viewing banquet and let the eldest princess choose a princess for him.
It was also from the flower viewing banquet that he began to have many entanglements with Ling Xiang.
If possible, he would rather not have agreed to his mother's request to marry someone else as his principal wife.
"Mother, I can't promise you this." Nangong Yu said, "I will ask Uncle Helian to help Zhenzhen recuperate. If she really can't get pregnant, I can adopt a child."
