Lin Jinyan signaled Bai Zhi to guard the door. She slowly sat down next to the Crown Princess, picked up an unused teacup, poured water and put it next to the Crown Princess:
"As the concubine of the East Palace, you come into contact with so many people. Why do you think that my daughter is the one with the intention?"
The Crown Princess withdrew her lost gaze and turned to look at Lin Jinyan calmly:
"Divine Doctor Wu said that the person who made the potion came from Cang Sheng Mountain. Isn't the general's wife from Cang Sheng Mountain? Before I got better, you often came to see me. You did a lot of serving tea and giving me medicine. Mingren don't tell lies. If you don’t recognize the words, you’ve probably never heard them.”
"To be honest, Princess, it was indeed my aunt who asked for the medicine."
The Crown Princess' face was calm, she lowered her eyes and looked at the water in the cup and sighed:
"You said before that you had no intention of entering the East Palace, and I thought you were just a temporary measure. You could secretly save my life, but it seems you had no intention. You are smarter than me, and you saw early on that the prince was not a good man. But I You have to hit your head to pieces and bleed, and your emotions are exhausted before you can see clearly."
"It's not too late to see clearly now. The Crown Princess is spending her prime years, which is a good age."
The Crown Princess raised a wry smile:
"With the despised status of a crown princess, what can I do no matter how young I am? The best outcome is to live out my remaining days peacefully within the palace walls."
Lin Jinyan smiled gently: "Maybe there is another way."
After chatting, the two returned to the flower hall together. Feng Siyao, Wang Huizhao and Lin Wanrong came up to her with anxious expressions. They looked Lin Jinyan up and down and were relieved when they saw that she was fine.
Although Zhou Yuexue had a look of surprise in her eyes, she concealed it very well. She pulled Lin Jinyan to sit down and asked with concern.
Meeting Meng Fuzi's concerned eyes, Lin Jinyan responded with a reassuring smile.
During the banquet, except for Mrs. Qi's insinuating remarks, everything remained peaceful until the banquet was over. Before going out, the woman who welcomed several people in lowered her voice and told Lin Jinyan to come to the princess's house alone the next day.
When the princess saw the prince entering Qin Zongliang's carriage, she ordered the coachman to return home without hesitation.
The prince looked gloomy: "It's rare that everything went smoothly today. I brought Chu Chengyao into the game, and Hong Jiu, who knows kung fu, was not by Lin Jinyan's side. Such a good opportunity was messed up by her! In the past, I only thought she was a little jealous. , I don’t want to be so ignorant!”
Qin Zongliang: "The Crown Princess probably knows that she will not live long and is resentful, so she doesn't want to help His Highness. There is another thing that I really don't understand. Why does Lin Jinyan have no symptoms? Is there something wrong?"
Prince: "I also discovered that although Chu Chengyao pretended to be fine, he could still find clues if he looked closely. But Lin Jinyan didn't have any symptoms at all. Could it be that Zhixu didn't succeed?"
Qin Zongliang: "When I arrived at the princess's residence, I asked Third Sister and verified it myself. She had indeed used incense to scent Feng Siyao's clothes. You can smell it as long as you are close. Those who are incense can smell it again within an hour. The medicinal effects of the two incense in the incense burner will be quickly dispersed, causing an aphrodisiac effect."
The prince nodded: "In order to let Chu Chengyao come across another kind of incense, I put the incense in a bottle and discarded it according to your instructions. In case he really succeeded, I went there after he entered the side courtyard for a while, so short He was able to fall victim to it at all times, which shows that the medicine is very effective, how did Lin Jinyan, a sick man, escape?"
Inside the carriage of Prince Jin's Mansion.
Chu Chengyao took out the medicine bottle in his arms, remembered the scene when he picked up the medicine bottle and sniffed it, squinted his eyes and murmured to himself:
"It's really true that even you can lie to me."
