Chapter 288 She Won’t Come Out Tomorrow
Lianxiang breathed a sigh of relief to see An Ning being so sensible, and a look of admiration appeared on her face. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, her face suddenly became gloomy, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
"However, the one in the Princess' Courtyard should not go out tomorrow."
An Ning knew what she meant, nodded and said, "I understand, she won't be able to come out tomorrow."
Although Yuehua looks like Xiaotao, she is my enemy after all, so it's no wonder that I am so cruel.
Seeing this, Shen Yi at the side finally found an opportunity to speak up: "Are you Princess An Ning of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion?"
An Ning's annoyance disappeared immediately after hearing this. She rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "What else? Are there any other princesses in our imperial capital besides me and my grandmother?"
An Ning thought to herself, this person really knows how to ruin the atmosphere, but this made her feel a lot better.
When Shen Yi heard An Ning admit her identity, the expression on his face became a little unnatural.
He originally thought that An Ning should be His Majesty's secret guard, but he didn't expect that she was actually Princess An Ning of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.
This Duke of Anguo was once the main general stationed at Yongguan, and he was also the master of his father.
However, Concubine An killed concubines and plotted to murder the royal heirs, committing many evil deeds.
Duke Anguo was far away at the border. When he heard the news, he was so angry that his old injury relapsed and he fainted.
After waking up, he immediately sent a letter to His Majesty as quickly as possible, handed over the military command directly, and then returned to Beijing to apologize.
However, considering that Duke Anguo had made great contributions in defending the border and that he was not aware of the matter, His Majesty conferred the title of Duke Anguo on him and allowed him to enjoy his old age in the imperial capital.
Afterwards, Shen Yi's father became the commander-in-chief of Yongguan, but whenever he had free time, he would miss Duke Anguo.
Shen Yi knew very well that his father admired his master very much, so much so that he began to wonder what kind of person could make his father miss him so much.
Unexpectedly, in Tongzhou, he met the great-granddaughter of Duke Anguo.
He couldn't wait to tell his father the good news, so he left in a hurry without even finishing his words.
An Ning did not stop him. After all, she encountered the assassin halfway through her meal, and she had been waiting in the study for a long time, so she was indeed feeling a little hungry now.
Afterwards, she parted with Qi Wuyou.
At dinner time that night, An Ning finally found a suitable opportunity and secretly put medicine in Yuehua's tea.
Yuehua didn't notice that there was medicine in the tea. After drinking the medicine, she just felt a little sleepy, so she lay down on the bed to rest. Not long after, she fell asleep.
The next morning, Yuehua woke up feeling dizzy and her whole body seemed to have lost strength. She struggled to sit up from the bed, but found that her cheeks were abnormally hot, as if she had a fever.
At this time, Cai Lian came to find her and saw Yue Hua's face was red. She was frightened and said, "Sister Yue Hua, why is your face so red? Did you catch a cold?"
Yuehua was stunned for a moment and tried to explain: "I don't know, I woke up like this this morning..."
Before she could finish her words, Cai Lian turned around and left anxiously, muttering that she wanted to find a doctor.
After a while, the doctor hurried over and after asking about Yuehua's symptoms, he learned that she forgot to close the window when she went to bed last night.
The doctor was relieved after hearing this. He smiled and bowed to An Ning, saying, "Miss, the girl just has a common cold. She only needs to take a few doses of medicine and rest for two days and she will be cured."
An Ning nodded to show that she understood, and told her servants to bring the medical fee and give it to the doctor as a reward.
An Ning told Cai Lian to take good care of Yue Hua, gave Yue Hua a few instructions, and then left Yue Hua's room.
At this time, it was almost 9 o'clock, and the time was almost up.
An Ning thought it was time to start preparing to go to Prince Yu's medicine garden.
She went back to her room, changed into convenient clothes, took some commonly used tools and a cloth bag, and went to Qi Wuyou's yard next door.
Not long after, an exquisite carriage slowly drove up and stopped in front of the Jade Mansion.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Prince Yu's handsome face appeared before his eyes.
He actually came in person!
An Ning's face seemed to unconsciously blush with shyness.
But she was really confused. What was the smell on Prince Yu? It was so suffocating that she was about to die!
An Ning showed no emotion, and she moved lightly, then boarded the carriage of Prince Yu's mansion with Lianxiang.
Inside the carriage, Prince Yu and An Ning sat opposite each other, with a subtle atmosphere between them.
An Ning endured the smell from Prince Yu's body, and the two of them began to chat. The topic was light and cheerful, as if they had forgotten the troubles in the outside world.
Finally, An Ning couldn't bear it anymore, so she secretly gave herself a drug that temporarily caused a person to lose their sense of smell, and only then did she feel better.
The two of them had a very pleasant conversation. Under the surface harmony, they each had different thoughts in their hearts.
Prince Yu secretly wondered whether to take tough measures against An Ning again in the medicine garden;
An Ning calmly pondered whether to give Prince Yu a chronic poison to kill him suddenly.
As time passed, the carriage finally arrived at the medicine garden.
An Ning looked out the car window and saw the garden was covered with green grass and various herbs growing lushly, emitting a faint fragrance.
Although this medicinal garden is small in scale, every herb is carefully cared for and appears to be full of vitality.
An Ning couldn't help but murmur, thinking that this medicine garden was obviously not prepared at the last minute, but seemed to have been carefully managed by someone for a long time.
Although An Ning had thought that Prince Yu might buy a medicine garden to deceive her, An Ning didn't think that the owner of the medicine garden would be willing to sell it.
An Ning stepped into the medicine garden, looked around, and found that there were not many guards here.
In addition to a few busy servants, Lianxiang keenly noticed that there were a few figures looming in the dark, obviously Xuan Yemin's personal guards.
An Ning carefully observed everything in the medicine garden, secretly evaluating the value of the garden in her heart.
Although it cannot compare with Master's miraculous medicinal garden,
But for Xuan Yemin, it was a waste of resources.
An Ning squatted down and carefully observed each herb, exchanging a few words with Xuan Yemin from time to time.
Lianxiang was carefully recording what was happening behind him, while also paying some attention to the situation around her.
During the identification process, An Ning suddenly discovered several rare herbs. She was slightly moved, but did not show any abnormality.
She pointed at the herbs and said to Prince Yu calmly, "Your Majesty, although these herbs can be used as medicine, they are strong and poisonous. Generally speaking, it is not recommended to plant them."
This statement is not entirely false, these herbs are indeed poisonous, but they are an indispensable medicine for treating leprosy.
If she remembered correctly, her master's medicine garden was just short of this herb.
Prince Yu knew nothing about herbs, so he just nodded absentmindedly, indicating his approval of An Ning's statement, and said, "In that case, Miss, please help me deal with it."
An Ning didn't say much, just nodded gently, and then pulled out the herbs casually.
