The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 217 Crown Princess

Jian Yue was surprised.

This was only the first time she and the Crown Princess met, but their relationship was so close that they were like sisters?

"Your Highness, your words are too kind. Mingyue has nothing to be wronged about. I am sorry for causing trouble for the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

The Crown Princess patted her hands and whispered, "I invited you to the tea party because I wanted to get closer to you. Who knew something like this would happen? I'm really sorry!"

Jian Yue looked at the Crown Princess in surprise. The Crown Princess was so humble. Could it be because she had cured the Crown Prince of his poison?

Seeing how intimate the Crown Princess was with Princess Mingyue, the imperial concubines and young ladies present each had their own plans in mind.

Rong Xin disrupted the tea party, and everyone was in a bad mood. They waited absent-mindedly until the lunch started, and left after eating.

Jian Yue was left behind by the Crown Princess. After everyone left, the Crown Princess took her to the Water Pavilion.

The Crown Prince and Ji Yunzhong were drinking tea and enjoying the scenery in the water pavilion.

"Mingyue pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Just as Jian Yue bowed to salute, the Crown Prince hurriedly stopped her: "Princess Mingyue, there is no need to be polite. Thanks to your help, my health is slowly getting better. If you have any difficulties in the future, just let me know. I will definitely help you."

"Thank you, Your Highness. You have helped Mingyue a lot. Without your help and your determination, Mingyue would not have been named a princess so quickly and received a fiefdom. Mingyue only did a little bit of help, Your Highness, don't take it to heart."

Ji Yunzhong said: "Alright, everyone, stop being so polite. It seems awkward. Yue girl, please check the prince's pulse to see if his health has improved."

The implication is, whether there is poisoning again.

Jian Yue understood what he meant and took the prince's pulse carefully.

"His Royal Highness is getting better, there's nothing wrong with him."

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were visibly relieved. Their expressions immediately became relaxed.

To be honest, after being tortured by the poison for so many years, the prince has a trauma in his heart and always feels that his food, clothing, housing and transportation are unsafe.

"Mingyue, please feel my pulse too!" The Crown Princess stretched out her wrist.

In fact, Jian Yue had already seen something from her complexion, but she was just not sure. After taking the Crown Princess's pulse, she checked her eyelids and tongue coating and asked, "Has the Crown Princess been taking contraceptive pills?"

The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess' faces suddenly changed. They looked at each other, and the Crown Princess asked in a trembling voice: "Are you sure?"

Jian Yue nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, the Crown Princess should take medicine once every five days, right?"

The Crown Princess's face turned pale, and a chill ran down her spine: "Before the Crown Prince was cured of the poison, we didn't dare to have a child, fearing that the poison would be transferred to the child. Since the Crown Prince was cured of the poison, we have decided to have a child. After the New Year, I have been taking tonic medicine. Just as you said, take it once every five days."

"Can you please let me see the medicine the Crown Princess is taking?"

"Okay, I'll let you..."

The prince raised his hand to stop him: "Let's go to where the medicine is stored and take a look."

The East Palace is as leaky as a sieve. What if the medicine we brought here has been replaced?

So the four of them went to the pharmacy next to the palace.

There were two guards guarding the door of the pharmacy. In the small courtyard, two medicine boys were drying herbs. When they saw the four people coming in, the two medicine boys quickly knelt to greet them.

A doctor came out of a room and saluted to the four people: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, and Princess Mingyue."

The prince waved his hand: "Doctor Bai, open the medicine room."

"Yes." Doctor Bai took a few quick steps and opened the medicine room.

The Crown Prince: "What are the Crown Princess's nourishing medicines? Take them out and let me see them."

Doctor Bai didn't know what the prince meant, and felt a little uneasy. He opened one of the large drawers and said, "The princess' medicine is all here."

Jian Yue took out a medicine bag, unwrapped it and examined it carefully. After reading it, she looked at all the herbs on the medicine shelf again. Then, she picked a few herbs and said, "These are enough."

The four of them left the pharmacy, and Doctor Bai was puzzled. Looking at the herbs Princess Mingyue had taken away, he couldn't make a prescription, and wondered what she was going to do with them.

Back in the reception hall, Jian Yue said, "There is nothing wrong with the medicine package. It is indeed a tonic for the body. But the Crown Princess' health is not getting better, but getting worse. So, I suggest that the Crown Princess stop taking the medicine."

The Crown Princess said, "It's time to take the tonic today. Because of the tea party, I wanted to take it in the evening. Why not make the medicine now while Mingyue is here?"

Jian Yue immediately understood what she meant and nodded.

The Crown Princess immediately asked Madam Zhuang to give the order.

After Madam Zhuang left, the prince called in a secret guard and gave him some instructions. He also asked Guiquan to go to the pharmacy.

After a while, Guiquan came back and reported: "Your Highness, I have already told the people in the pharmacy not to talk too much."

About half an hour later, Wei's personal maid Dongzhu came in carrying a bowl of medicine.

Wei took the medicine bowl and waved his hand: "Everyone, leave!"

Nanny Zhuang, Dongzhu and Guiquan all left the room.

Wei handed the bowl of medicine to Jian Yue.

Jian Yue smelled the scent, scooped a little into the palm of her hand, and licked it with the tip of her tongue.

Ji Yunzhong's face darkened instantly.

How can you test the poison on yourself without taking care of your body at all?

"Peach kernels and leech powder are added to the decoction. Long-term use will lead to blood poisoning, qi and blood deficiency, and it is not suitable for conception."

Wei's eyes immediately turned red and his lips trembled with anger.

There was nothing more for Jian Yue to do after that. Jian Yue tactfully said goodbye.

Wei took out the gift that she had prepared long ago and let Jian Yue take it away.

Jian Yue didn't refuse, she thanked him and left with the gift. Ji Yunzhong also came out with Jian Yue.

"Are you not full? Why don't we find another place to eat?" Ji Yunzhong suggested.

Jian Yue subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Ji Yunzhong said: "I have good news to tell you."

Ok!

Wanting to hear good news, Jian Yue followed Ji Yunzhong to Changsheng Restaurant.

"This restaurant is under my name. You can come here to eat from now on. I have already ordered that you will get a free meal." Ji Yunzhong said to Jian Yue while sitting in the private room on the third floor that belonged to Ji Yunzhong.

Jian Yue smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Your Highness."

The restaurant owner personally brought tea over and respectfully placed the menu in front of Ji Yunzhong. Ji Yunzhong picked up the menu and handed it to Jian Yue: "You order."

To be honest, Jian Yue didn’t have much of an appetite, so she just ordered two vegetarian dishes.

Ji Yunzhong frowned and ordered another dish of crystal fish fillet and jade shrimp soup.

The restaurant owner first brought up a few cold dishes and chilled fruits.

Ji Yunzhong personally put the food on a small plate and placed it in front of Jian Yue: "Try it."

"Didn't Your Highness say that he had good news to tell me?"

Ji Yun glanced at her again and said teasingly: "Are you so impatient?"

Jian Yue nodded: "My mood has been ruined by the Rong brothers and sisters. I really can't muster up any interest."

Ji Yunzhong is a little...
