I'm 29, I don't dare go to the Imperial Palace of Danger
Third Prince's Mansion, Fengyi Garden
Leng Ruyan sat under the big tree, enjoying the cool breeze. Xiang Si was beside her, pouring out medicine from a jar. Leng Ruyan furrowed her brow unintentionally: "Xiang Si, are you sure this isn't Doctor Feng intentionally tricking me?"
"Miss, good medicine tastes bitter. Doctor Feng has saved you twice, how could he harm you?" Xiang Si smiled and handed her the medicine bowl.
"Why didn't he add some longan and licorice to the medicine? This is the most bitter medicine I've ever had, after drinking it my mouth was bitter for a whole day!" Leng Ruyi glared at the black medicine, her eyes flashing with anger.
Feng Qing must have been unwilling to let Xun Fang see her weakness, so she deliberately made things difficult for him.
"Miss, miss, don't get agitated. I went out early this morning to buy you candied hawthorn, and after taking the medicine, eating it will make the bitterness last for a day." Xiang Si quickly took out a big red candied hawthorn to comfort her.
Leng Ruyan reluctantly took over the medicine bowl, wrinkling her nose and drinking it all in one gulp. Finally, she snatched the iced sugar gourd from Xiang Si's hand and stuffed it into her mouth, mumbling: "Next time I'll never do something that requires me to take medicine again, did you buy everything I told you to?"
"I've bought everything and put it on the desk." Xiang Si replied while putting away the medicine bowl and pot in the kitchen.
Xiang Si had just left, when Leng Ru Tong saw from a distance that Ye Qian Zhi was walking towards her with someone dressed as a eunuch. She bit into her candied hawthorn and wondered what he wanted.
Ye Qian brought her back to his own mansion, presumably with a purpose, but for the past two days, this master of hers seemed to have forgotten about her, not even sending someone to pay their respects.
Leng Ruyan sat up from the chaise longue and smiled at Ye Qianzhi, greeting him: "Third Prince, good morning."
"You look quite well, it seems Dr. Feng has taken good care of you." Yechen's handsome face didn't flinch, but his cold eyes made her feel like her enthusiasm had crashed into an iceberg.
She rubbed her nose and bit the iced sugar gourd in her hand, then lay down again: "Third Prince, I have an injury on my body and cannot entertain you, so please help yourself."
"This is Ning Fei's servant, Ruan Fan. He has something to discuss with you." Ye Qianzhi didn't stand on ceremony and sat down at the stone table, pouring himself a cup of tea.
Leng Ruyu raised an eyebrow and glanced at the old eunuch: "Ning Fei Niangniang? What business do you have with me?" She didn't recognize this person in her memory, there were so many niangniangs in the imperial palace, and she had always been in the back courtyard, how could she know who they were.
Ru Fan's face sank, and he was very dissatisfied with Leng Ruyi's attitude. He cleared his throat and said sharply: "Ning Fei ordered you to enter the palace tomorrow to see her."
Leng Ruyan hastily sat up again: "You said that Empress Ning wants me to enter the palace? Can I enter the palace?" The question behind her was directed at Ye Qianzhi, who held a teacup and lightly sipped it, with a strand of his hair falling on his left shoulder. He nodded towards her: "I just asked Doctor Feng, as long as you're careful not to bump into your wound, it's fine."
Leng Ruyu rolled her eyes: "Who asked you that." She thought for a moment, stood up, and with her hands clasped across her chest, looked at Ruyan who was already half gray-haired and curiously asked: "Tell me first, who exactly is Ning Fei?"
Ru Fan glared at her, his face turning green with rage: "You... actually dared to humiliate Princess Ning!"
Leng Ruyu sighed, "I'm just a common citizen, I rarely leave my house, who would have thought that behind those deep palace walls live such women!" In fact, she didn't need to ask, this Consort Ning was definitely someone extraordinary, otherwise Night Thousand wouldn't have personally brought her in.
Most surprisingly, this Empress Ning actually knew that she lived in the Third Prince's residence, and must have also known that she was injured. Since she knew that she was injured and yet summoned her to the palace at this time, it certainly wasn't out of good intentions.
"Never mind, never mind. Whatever princess, she's still the emperor's woman. Thank you, Ning Fei, for looking out for me, but I won't go to the palace!"
