"This servant is also puzzled. When this servant woke up, I saw that Your Highness's clothes were in disarray."
"Sit down first, let me take a look at your injury." Mu Chenshuang didn't say much.
Mu Chenshuang helped her to her own bed, but Linglong refused in fright.
"How could this servant sit on the Crown Princess's bed?"
"It's alright. We are sisters, not master and servant. Sit down and let me see your injury."
Mu Chenshuang insisted, and Linglong couldn't refuse.
Mu Chenshuang unbuttoned Linglong's clothes and quickly wrapped the blanket around her front. Linglong shivered from the cold.
Looking at the hideous bloodstains on her back, it's clear that Pear Blossom had gone all out. If it weren't for the cotton-padded coat covering her wounds, the scene would have been even more gruesome.
"Disinfection is necessary first."
Mu Chenshuang asked someone to bring over the wine, and then wrote down a prescription, telling her to go and get the medicine.
Soon the maid brought wine and the medicine from the prescription. After disinfecting and grinding it, she applied it to Linglong's back wound.
Linglong clenched her teeth, cold sweat already beading on her forehead.
After everything was done, I dressed her.
"Alright, at least they're all superficial injuries."
Linglong was quite shocked to see that Mu Chengshuang knew about pharmacology. "This servant did not know that Your Highness could cure diseases."
"There's a lot you don't know yet; you'll gradually find out in the future."
Linglong was puzzled by Mu Chenshuang's drastic change. "Your Majesty, are you really planning to divorce the Crown Prince?"
Previously, the Marquis disagreed with her marrying the Crown Prince, but the young lady insisted on marrying him. After she came with the young lady as part of her dowry, she saw the young lady being humiliated by the Crown Prince and felt wronged for the young lady.
Many men are enamored with Miss, and marrying any general would be better than marrying the crown prince.
"I've seen through it all. You can't force matters of the heart, so why should I keep hitting a brick wall?"
Hearing her say that, Linglong was genuinely happy.
"I'm so glad that the Crown Princess can take it so well."
Mu Chenshuang hummed in agreement.
Linglong got up and walked to the table and stools, picked up the bowl full of medicine, and handed it to Mu Chenshuang, "Your Highness, please drink the medicine first."
Mu Chenshuang reached out and took the medicine. After tasting it, she realized something was wrong. "You didn't add any Cold Star Grass or Qu Lian?"
Linglong was taken aback. "I released it."
Linglong didn't seem to be lying, but the medicine was indeed missing. What happened? Had someone switched it?
Without thinking much, I drank it.
"Don't release it for now."
Her health is poor right now; the toxins in her body haven't been cleared. If she drinks medicine containing *Hypericum perforatum* and *Corydalis yanhusuo*, she will experience pain so severe that she might faint at any moment, just like yesterday.
With too many enemies at hand, she couldn't afford to let her body get hurt again. The most important thing was to restore her internal strength and clear the toxins from her body. The matter of the fetus could be put aside for the time being.
Seeing the Crown Princess's solemn expression, Linglong asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, why didn't you let me call the imperial physician yesterday?"
"This is the Eastern Palace, and everyone here is the Crown Prince's man. My current situation is not optimistic. If the imperial physician finds out about my health condition, I might be framed by someone."
Linglong knew about Mu Chenshuang's poisoning. Suddenly, she thought of something, and her eyes filled with grief and indignation. "But Lihua has already sided with the concubine, and she will definitely tell the concubine about your situation."
Thinking back to yesterday, she had completely given up on Pear Blossom.
"When soldiers come, we'll deal with them; when water comes, we'll dam it. But Linglong, you should completely change your attitude towards Lihua. She's sided with Xiao Qingyu today. If she suffers under her protection and doesn't gain anything in the end, she'll betray Xiao Qingyu just the same way. She's the kind of person who will stop at nothing for profit. You absolutely cannot have any mercy for her. Remember that."
Mu Chenshuang looked at Linglong and said these words with extreme seriousness: Pear Blossom's allegiance to Xiao Qingyu was not a bad thing for her.
Linglong curtsied slightly, her eyes hardening. "This servant knows perfectly well what's going on."
Then Mu Chenshuang wrote down a prescription, "Go to the pharmacy on the street and get a few doses of medicine, and also buy a roll of silver needles."
Linglong asked in confusion, "Your Highness, why are you buying all these medicines?"
"Of course it's for detoxification. The longer these toxins stay in my body, the greater the damage they will cause."
Linglong understood and was amazed that the Crown Princess knew medicine, but she didn't ask any more questions. "This servant will go right away."
After Linglong left.
Mu Chenshuang changed her clothes again, and as she took them off one by one, the ropes of each of her inner garments were tied into tight knots.
The other person probably took off her clothes to warm her up.
Was it the person who assaulted her a month ago?
Or who?
The more Mu Chenshuang thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She felt as if she were in a fog, unable to see the direction.
But one thing is clear: this person will not harm her; he is obviously protecting her.
Thinking about it carefully, Linglong fainted after she fell into a coma last night, so it was clear that the other party had been paying attention to her movements.
The medicine Linglong brewed this morning must have been switched, which means there are definitely spies in Yuxi Palace.
The other party seemed to not want him to harm the baby in her womb.
It seems she needs to verify this.
anyway.
This person must be caught.
That night.
Linglong set up a heater and prepared the medicine inside the house.
Mu Chenshuang soaked in the bath without letting Linglong serve her, and instead asked her to brew the medicine.
Half an hour later.
Mu Chenshuang was performing acupuncture on herself, but she couldn't reach the acupoints on her back, which made things difficult. She would have to ask Linglong to try later.
Remove the silver needles from the arm.
Just as he was getting dressed, Linglong's hurried voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Your Highness, you've arrived."
Mu Chenshuang frowned and quickly fastened her belt.
Immediately afterwards, a man in a python robe strode in with a stern face, and Linglong hurriedly followed him in carrying the medicine.
However, when Feng Xinan saw Mu Chenshuang, a fleeting look of amazement crossed his eyes.
The woman before me wore a thin, fitted undergarment; she was slender and graceful, with long, flowing hair reaching her waist. Her eyes were bright as pearls, and her unadorned face was breathtakingly beautiful.
She had clearly just taken a bath, which made her look cleaner and more pure, and her heroic and stunning beauty was softened by a touch of gentleness.
He had completely forgotten that Mu Chenshuang was also a renowned beauty in the capital. When she took off her military uniform and put on women's clothing to receive her title, she amazed countless people.
"What brings the Crown Prince here?"
Mu Chenshuang's icy tone pulled Feng Xilan back to reality.
