Gao Zhenzhen smiled shyly and said expectantly, "The prince also said that he would only marry me in this life. The eldest princess disagreed before, but now she agrees, Your Highness..."
Gao Zhenzhen lowered her eyes, and the rest of the words were self-explanatory.
In the past, Nangong Yu would have immediately planned his marriage with Gao Zhenzhen after the princess agreed to it, without Gao Zhenzhen mentioning it.
But now, the eldest princess has agreed to the marriage for some time, but Nangong Yu has never taken the initiative to mention marrying Gao Zhenzhen.
He told himself that his engagement with Ling Xiang was still ongoing, and that he could only marry Gao Zhenzhen legally after the engagement was cancelled.
However, when Gao Zhenzhen took the initiative to mention it, Nangong Yu felt inexplicably irritated.
Realizing that his emotions were not right, Nangong Yu tried hard to regain the feeling he had with Gao Zhenzhen before, and coaxed her gently:
"There's a long way to go. Wait until Ling Xiang and I break off our engagement, and when you're fully recovered, then we can get married."
Gao Zhenzhen certainly knew that now was not a good time, but Nangong Yu's current attitude scared her. She was afraid that she would not be able to wait for the day when the King of Qin and Ling Xiang would break off their engagement, and she was afraid that in the end, Ling Xiang would become the King of Qin's Consort.
What she feared most was that once Ling Xiang married the King of Qin, the fact that she pretended to be the King of Qin's savior would be revealed.
Gao Zhenzhen held her breath and asked expectantly, "When will the prince break off his engagement with Miss Ling?"
Nangong Yu calculated carefully and found that more than half of the time he had agreed with Ling Xiang had already passed.
"Soon, just wait another month."
"Yes, I'll wait for the prince." Gao Zhenzhen nodded obediently.
Nangong Yu smiled and served Gao Zhenzhen some food: "This is the medicinal food that Doctor Wang specially prepared for you. Eat more."
After receiving Nangong Yu's promise, Gao Zhenzhen did not feel happy at all. Instead, she felt a stronger sense of crisis.
In the past, the King of Qin wanted to marry her when he brought her back to the palace. If the eldest princess had not objected, she would have become the King of Qin's Consort.
Even in the previous life, King Qin married Ling Xiang early on, and on the same day he married her, he also married her as a concubine, and he never even gave Ling Xiang a straight look.
But now, when she took the initiative to bring up their marriage, the prince actually found an excuse to shirk responsibility.
She must take action now!
Gao Zhenzhen sent Ping'er to invite Doctor Wang.
After taking the heart-protecting pills for several days in a row, her heart disease was alleviated a lot. She secretly asked Doctor Wang whether her body could withstand the favor.
Doctor Wang was startled and advised, "Miss Gao, you have only just recovered a little. You need to rest more and avoid strenuous exercise."
Gao Zhenzhen couldn't wait any longer: "Is there any way for me to receive your favor without hurting my body?"
Doctor Wang shook his head repeatedly: "Miss Gao, your heart disease is very serious. Even if it is cured, you must take good care of yourself and replenish your body's lost vitality before considering this matter."
Gao Zhenzhen didn't believe that Doctor Wang would be helpless. She glanced at Ping'er and said, "Doctor Wang, if you can do this for me, I will give Ping'er to you."
Doctor Wang subconsciously looked at Ping'er.
Ping'er smiled shyly, which made Doctor Wang's heart melt.
Doctor Wang gritted his teeth and said, "It's not that there is no solution, but Miss Gao may have to suffer a little, and His Majesty needs your cooperation. However, as long as Your Majesty cooperates, Miss Gao's foundation will not be harmed."
Gao Zhenzhen was immediately surprised: "What method?"
Doctor Wang took two pills and gave them to Gao Zhenzhen:
"This is a dual cultivation pill. The red one is for women, and the white one is for men. I wish Miss Gao all her wishes come true."
Gao Zhenzhen was overjoyed and winked at Ping'er, "Doctor Wang, you've worked so hard. Ping'er, please see him off for me."
Ping'er accompanied Doctor Wang all the way to his residence, but she showed no intention of leaving. She whispered to Doctor Wang, "Doctor Wang, is the Dual Cultivation Pill useful?"
Doctor Wang promised, "Of course it will work, especially since the prince and Miss Gao are so in love, it will definitely be a good thing."
"So, what about us?" Ping'er approached Doctor Wang and took his hand and placed it on her waist. "How about we try the effects of the Dual Cultivation Pill first?"
Doctor Wang felt his hands burning as he touched Ping'er, and he couldn't control himself in the face of Ping'er's initiative...
The next day, Ping'er went back to report.
Gao Zhenzhen was very satisfied when she learned that the dual cultivation pills were very effective: "Ping'er, I'm sorry for putting you through this."
Ping'er was a newlywed, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of charm: "If I can help you share your worries, Ping'er will not refuse even if her life is too late!"
"What do you think of Doctor Wang? Ping'er, do you want to marry him? If you do, I will definitely marry you to him in a grand ceremony and he will treat you well for the rest of his life. If you don't want to marry, I promise he won't bother you anymore."
Ping'er didn't answer directly, but expressed her loyalty: "The husband that the young lady has chosen for Ping'er is naturally excellent. Ping'er will leave it to the young lady to decide."
"Alright, go and invite the prince." Gao Zhenzhen ordered. After taking a look at Ping'er's current condition, she realized it was not appropriate for her to appear in front of the prince. She changed her mind and said, "You should have a good rest for a few days. Let the wet nurse go. As an elder, the prince will give her some face."
"Miss, have you really made up your mind? People will never cherish things that are too easy to get." Ping'er advised.
Gao Zhenzhen was very confident: "The prince is loyal and will not be irresponsible."
At dinner, Nangong Yu came specially to accompany Gao Zhenzhen. When they were almost done eating, Gao Zhenzhen ordered someone to bring a bowl of soup: "Your Highness, you have been busy recently. This is specially for your health."
Nangong Yu took a small sip and put down the soup bowl.
Gao Zhenzhen had already finished her soup and, seeing this, she advised, "Doctor Wang said we must finish this soup."
Nangong Yu picked up the soup bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Grandma Gao and her servants cleaned up the room and left.
Only Nangong Yu and Gao Zhenzhen were left in the room.
Gao Zhenzhen carefully nestled in Nangong Yu's arms, gently wrapping her arms around his waist. "Your Highness, I've loved you since the first moment I saw you. God has mercy on me, allowing me to see you every day. Zhenzhen has no other wish but to be with you for the rest of my life."
Nangong Yu patted Gao Zhenzhen's back gently: "Zhenzhen, I'm sorry for the past few days. I will make more time to accompany you in the future."
Gao Zhenzhen raised her little face and stared at Nangong Yu: "Prince, I know, I know you are not ignoring me, I know you don't like Miss Ling, I know you won't marry her, I know you only love me."
She grabbed his hand and placed it on her chest: "But my heart is still uneasy. I'm still worried. I'm worried that one day you will get tired of me and abandon me..."
Nangong Yu comforted her softly, "Zhenzhen, don't let your imagination run wild. I will treat you well all my life."
Gao Zhenzhen knew that Nangong Yu would eventually find out that she had used the Dual Cultivation Pill. Since the atmosphere was right, she did not hide it and explained carefully:
"I have always believed in you, Your Highness. However, I am a weak-willed person and always worry about the future. Your Highness, I'm sorry. I put the Dual Cultivation Pill in the soup just now. I want to be with you truly..."
