”This humble servant kowtows to Ning Wangfei.” Eunuch Huang bowed down and made a salutation.

The palace maid hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed as well, ”This humble servant has seen Ning Wangfei.”

Xiao Liulang also saluted Ning Wangfei with a calm manner and candid expression.

Xiao Liulang was wearing the Zhuangyuan uniform, which made it easy for others to identify him.

However, Ning Wangfei hadnʼt met the Little Marquis of Zhao before, and Imperial Consort Zhuang refrained telling her about anything that happened outside recently in order to give her peace of mind, so she didn’t know the rumors about this new Zhuangyuan for the time being.

Ning Wangfei nodded politely. It was an unfamiliar man after all, so she could only make the contact between them as brief as possible. Her eyes shifted back to the palace maid kneeling on the ground,”I remember you are the palace maid beside His Highness of the State of Chen. Is something wrong with His Highness?”

The palace maid said with sobs, ”Responding to Ning Wangfei, His Sixth Highness is ill, and there has been no imperial physician to treat him. This servant is worried that if things go on like this, His Sixth Highness’s illness will somehow lead to a mishap...”

Ning Wangfeiʼs hand gently caressed her stomach, and a trace of complexity passed through her eyes. She said, ”You go back first. I will inform imperial consort mother about this matter.”

It was fine if she hadn’t bumped into this matter, but now that she did, it wasn’t good to just ignore it. Besides, she could also treat this as accumulating merit for the child in her belly.

”Yes! Yes! Many thanks to Ning Wangfei!” The palace maid kowtowed a few times while thanking her, and then got up and left.

Ning Wangfei also walked out of the imperial garden accompanied by her palace maids.

”Sending off Ning Wangfei.” Eunuch Huang kept his head low until Ning Wangfei disappeared at the end of the path. He then straightened up, smiled at Xiao Liulang and said, ”Zhuangyuan Xiao, this way, please.”

Xiao Liulang nodded, and Eunuch Huang continued in the direction of the East Palace.

As they passed the tall banyan tree, Xiao Liulang noticed Eunuch Huang glancing at it a few times, intentionally or unintentionally, as if looking for something, but there was nothing on the tree.

Xiao Liulang looked back. For some reason, he had the illusion that he dodged a bullet. It felt really strange.

When Ning Wangfei returned to the Yongshou Palace, she reported to Imperial Consort Zhuang about her encounter with the State of Chen’s palace maid.

Imperial Consort Zhuang bore hatred to the State of Chenʼs hostage prince. It was because the young master of their Zhuang Family was taken hostage in the State of Chen in the past and suffered a lot while in there.

Imperial Consort Zhuang simply couldnʼt wait for the State of Chenʼs hostage prince to experience the same pain An Junwang suffered back then.

However, these were just mere thoughts in her mind. She wasn’t so stupid as to really take action recklessly.

Imperial Consort Zhuang went to the imperial study and told the Emperor about the illness of the State of Chenʼs hostage prince. The Emperor then ordered Eunuch Wei to arrange for an imperial physician to go there.

……

Liu Family’s courtyard.

The sun was shining brightly. Liu Yisheng sat on a small stool in the front yard twisting some hemp ropes, while Ah Nu and the old woman were weaving baskets. This was the family’s main source of income. A basket could sell for ten copper coins, and a hemp rope could sell for one copper coin.

If they were lucky, they could weave four baskets and make ten hemp ropes a day, which were fifty coppers in total. However, because Liu Yisheng was often bullied, there was no guarantee that they could work every day.

Across from Liu Yisheng sat two people, one was Gu Jiao who was playing with a white cat, and the other was a young man dressed in a blue robe.

The young man’s countenance bore a bit resemblance to Liu Yishengʼs, but without a closer look, one wouldn’t be able to tell.

The young man had good looks, just a little less refined compared to Liu Yisheng. Even so, he was also a handsome man with a scholarly and elegant air around him.

His gorgeous and expensive-looking clothes were out of place within this shabby courtyard. He was a stark contrast to the down-and-out Liu Yisheng.

It happened that such a person was sitting on a rattan chair at this moment, playing with the fan in his hand while talking with Liu Yisheng leisurely.

”You’re finally willing to contact me.” He said with a smile.

Liu Yisheng was sweating profusely from twisting hemp ropes. It was unknown whether he was too busy to pay attention to him or he just couldn’t be bothered to.

The young man didnʼt get upset. He opened the folding fan in his hand, fanned himself with it elegantly, then snapped it closed again. The next second, he looked at Gu Jiao and said, ”Who is she?”

”Physician.” Liu Yisheng finally spoke, his eyes fixed on the hemp rope in his hand. Even without looking at his conversation partner, he could guess that he was asking about Gu Jiao.

The young man patted his palm with the folding fan and said meaningfully, ”There are still physicians willing to pay attention to you these days? Not an ordinary physician, I take it?”

Reading between the lines, he seemed to know Liu Yishengʼs situation like the back of his hand.

Gu Jiao stroked the cat happily and glanced at the young man faintly, ”Naturally, Iʼm not an ordinary physician. Iʼm a miracle physician.”

The young man: ”…”

Do all State of Zhao women love to put gold on their faces like this?

“Do you know who he is?” The young man asked Gu Jiao this time.

“Liu Yisheng.” Gu Jiao continued to pet the cat.

The young man hooked his lips up into a smile, pointing to Liu Yisheng with his folding fan, ”He’s my cousin.”

”Hm?” Gu Jiao blinked her eyes.

The young man was none other than the State of Chenʼs sixth prince who had just been reportedly ill in the palace.

Gu Jiao intended to sneak into the palace herself, but Liu Yisheng said it was impossible. However, her message could be sent in instead.

Then it didnʼt take long for a young man who claimed to be the sixth prince of the State of Chen to come to Liu Yisheng’s house carrying the white cat he had caught.

Gu Jiao looked at Liu Yisheng, ”A State of Chen’s person?”

Er, was it really okay to tell her such an important thing?

Gu Jiaoʼs reaction was calmer than the sixth prince had imagined, but when he thought about it again, he was also unsurprised when he first identified himself, which actually made him feel relieved.

What a composed girl.

Gu Jiao just kept playing with the cat.

”Youʼre not leaving yet?” Liu Yisheng said to the sixth prince.

The sixth prince said smilingly, ”Well, Itʼs rare for you to get in touch with me…”
