"I always feel there's something wrong with this prescription..."
"Palace Master, Tianmen Mountain is in chaos. Wen Sirong has killed many people. It seems he's looking for something."
Hearing this news, Ouyang Jinse tightened her grip. "Is the news reliable?"
In that case, this prescription was most likely genuine. She had also compared the letters between her father and Miao Yunshen in the past. The handwriting was exactly the same, and it was very difficult to forge Miao Yunshen's handwriting because his right thumb had been injured. The regular script he wrote would always be lighter in strength than that of ordinary people.
Few people knew this characteristic of his. It was something Ouyang Long had once told Ouyang Jinse privately.
Ouyang Jinse looked gloomy. Hearing the news from her subordinate about the grand wedding of Prince Yu, she suppressed her anger. "We're just waiting for the news from the Crown Prince."
"If only the Crown Prince could obtain the spiritual medicine."
In the Eastern Palace, Crown Prince Zhongli Chengze received a report from the imperial physician. The prescription for the spiritual medicine was basically finalized. "It's nothing special!"
"This spiritual medicine is truly miraculous."
Otherwise, how could Father Emperor's old injuries have been healed so easily?
Moreover, it could prolong one's life. At over fifty years old, he could still enjoy the company of two women at night without feeling tired at all.
Zhongli Chengze waited for Ouyang Jinse in the Eastern Palace. "Is this prescription really written by Miao Yunshen himself?"
"Of course it's genuine!"
"Haha..."
The Crown Prince laughed heartily. "Jinse has made a great contribution this time! I will reward you handsomely."
"Come!"
At his order, many women rushed in like fish leaping out of water. "Try them out... See what's different about them?" he whispered mysteriously into Ouyang Jinse's ear with a lecherous look.
Ouyang Jinse was impatient, but she couldn't refuse the Crown Prince's face.
Taking a closer look, she found that those women were all Yangzhou thin horses. It seemed that the rumor in the streets that the Crown Prince was impotent was not unfounded.
A calculating look flashed across her eyes as she met the Crown Prince's teasing gaze. Ouyang Jinse raised her glass to congratulate him from afar.
After hearing the news about Tianmen Mountain, the Crown Prince immediately ordered people to spread the news. Ouyang Jinse was right. The Emperor also knew about the prescription for the spiritual medicine. Why couldn't he make it? The secret lay in the spiritual roots.
Last time, the spiritual root planting base on Tianmen Mountain had been washed away by the flood, but the spiritual medicine could still be supplied on time.
"It must be that there's another planting base."
Miao Yunshen was an old fox, and the new Master Wen was no ordinary person either. If they weren't pushed, how could they know their limits?
Seeing that the Crown Prince was following her train of thought, Ouyang Jinse felt that it wouldn't be long before the Golden Water Palace rose to prominence.
On this day, the family members of the Song Mansion were leaving the capital.
Zhongli Mingye accompanied Song Jinyu to see them off. Song Jinyu was teasing Ling Yu when Mrs. Xiang lowered her head and whispered quietly, "You two should have a child soon..."
Huh?
Being reminded of this question, Song Jinyu felt very embarrassed. She was eager to avenge herself now. How could she have the heart to have a child with Zhongli Mingye?
Moreover, she felt faintly guilty for having hurt Zhongli Mingye before. She hadn't figured out how to face herself yet.
Song Qinzhou and his son bid farewell to Prince Yu. Before leaving, Song Qinzhou gave him a deep look. "This old official... begs the Prince to treat Yu'er well."
This was a father's entrustment and also a request.
Zhongli Mingye was slightly touched. He clasped his fists and said, "I will surely live up to Father-in-law's entrustment."
Looking back at Song Jinyu, she had just handed Ling Yu to Mrs. Xiang. The carriage moved forward. Her family had all left the capital.
And here, there would be no more of her family.
Song Jinyu felt a little sad. She had first lost her master and now her family had left her. She felt inexplicably sad and lonely.
In this capital city, for the rest of her life, she would only have herself and that person...
But... the great revenge was yet to be avenged... What would the future hold?
Just as she was thinking, she slowly walked back.
Zhongli Mingye stepped forward and grabbed her. "The sun is too strong. Are you going to walk back?" Without any explanation, he pulled her into the carriage.
When passing by the Bright Moon Tower,
Xiao Xueyi looked down. The simple and luxurious carriage must be carrying the master of Prince Yu's Mansion.
And that lively young girl. In fact, he had come to the capital by waterway some days ago, but when it was approaching the wedding day, he had made the boat slow down.
He had missed Prince Yu's grand wedding.
By the time he arrived in the capital, this wedding was only a topic of conversation among others.
It was a pity that he hadn't seen her on her wedding day; but if he had seen her getting married, he would have felt even more heartbroken.
Xiao Xueyi felt for the first time that his emotions were out of control.
"Have the gifts been sent?"
"Yes, my lord. They were sent a long time ago..." The grand gift from Tingran Pavilion didn't dare to be too ostentatious in front of the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace.
Xiao Xueyi still chose a jade ruyi, hoping that Song Jinyu would have all her wishes come true.
"The Queen wants me to enter the palace?"
Song Jinyu was a little confused. It had been half a month since her wedding, and her proper mother-in-law hadn't even summoned her alone once, but the Queen was so "partial" to her.
Seeing her confusion, Zhongli Mingye smiled and reached out to hold her hand. "Don't be afraid... How about feigning illness and not going?"
"How can that be?"
If she didn't go, where would the Queen's face be? Besides, there was still Concubine Shu in the palace.
Since she had married him, she must be prepared for this. She didn't dare to refuse the Queen's summons, but Zhongli Mingye was worried about her. "I'll go with you."
"No need! It's just a small matter. Maybe it's just a chat or something..."
He gave her a meaningful look. He was afraid that the Queen still remembered the matter of Rong Qing'er.
"Eunuch An is my man..."
Suddenly, he spoke, which startled Song Jinyu.
How dare he plant someone in the Queen's palace? Seeing her confusion, Zhongli Mingye also smiled and said, "There are also the Queen's people in the Prince's Mansion."
"Many..."
Song Jinyu opened her eyes wide. What was all this about? Planting spies on each other and acting in front of each other? She felt inexplicably sorry for Zhongli Mingye. "Be good... I will surely protect you."
"Who wants you to protect me? I'm not afraid of these ghosts and monsters anyway..."
Although she said so, Song Jinyu was much more cautious when entering the palace.
Moreover, Zhongli Mingye had told her this news so that she could act according to the situation.
Fine. Let her see the majesty of the mistress of the six palaces!
