Chen Yuan kept everyone in suspense, saying she would tell them later.

Lin Jiuqing glanced at her but didn't press her; she would eventually say what she wanted to say.

After waiting a while, Mr. Mu arrived.

Now that Mr. Mu is enjoying his retirement, he basically no longer sees patients, and only Lin Jiuqing can get him to come.

Upon seeing Chen Yuan, Mr. Mu smiled broadly: "Judging from the princess's complexion, she seems to be recovering quite well."

Chen Yuan was very polite to him: "I am only able to recover so quickly because of the medicine you prescribed, Mr. Mu."

Mr. Mu smiled and nodded, showing no modesty whatsoever.

He took Chen Yuan's pulse and withdrew his hand after a long while.

Lin Jiuqing asked, "How is it?"

Mr. Mu: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the princess has recovered very well and is no different from an ordinary person."

"You mean, she's almost like a normal person now, and hasn't suffered any lasting effects?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Chen Yuan, holding Lin Jiuqing's hand, said, "I told you I'm physically fit and recover quickly. Are you relieved now, sister?"

Lin Jiuqing was truly relieved now.

She was afraid that Chen Yuan would suffer some long-term effects.

To allow Chen Yuan to recover properly, she had been raising Yang Zheng in her care. Now that she heard that Chen Yuan's health had returned to normal, Lin Jiuqing was relieved.

After thanking Mr. Mu and sending someone to personally escort him back, Lin Jiuqing said to Chen Yuan, "Since Mr. Mu said you have recovered, you don't need to take the medicine anymore. After all, medicine is three parts poison, and taking too much is not good."

"However, we should still pay attention to the amount of poison in our daily diet, after all, the body needs time to recover from a serious illness."

"By the way, Azheng is playing in the Imperial Garden with Chengqing right now. When they come back, I'll have the wet nurse pack up so Azheng can go back with you."

She was willing to raise Azheng, but Azheng was, after all, a child of the Yang family, and she wanted to be with her parents. Similarly, as a mother, she certainly didn't want her daughter to be separated.

Even though she was reluctant, she couldn't selfishly keep Yang Zheng by her side.

Chen Yuan pursed her lips and said softly, "Sister, A-Zheng... I won't take her back. Let her stay in the palace to keep you company."

Lin Jiuqing was taken aback, then frowned: "What do you mean by that?"

Chen Yuan took a deep breath, stood up and knelt down in front of Lin Jiuqing: "There is something I want to do, please grant my request, sister."

Seeing her posture, Lin Jiuqing knew that what she wanted was not small, and his face immediately darkened.

Lin Jiuqing remained silent, so Chen Yuan continued, "My health has improved significantly, and I am no different from an ordinary person. I don't want to stay at home any longer and do nothing all day."

"I want to go to the border and do what I want to do."

She is a military general; she should be on the battlefield, not like a bird caged in a cage all day long.

Chen Yuan lowered her head and said softly, "Sister, please let me go."

Lin Jiuqing was so angry that he almost fainted.

She felt sorry for Chen Yuan, who had just recovered, but Chen Yuan was already planning to go to the battlefield.

"What about A-Zheng?" Lin Jiuqing remained silent for a long time before asking stiffly, "What will happen to A-Zheng?"

Chen Yuan lowered her head even further: "The border is bitterly cold, and I don't want A-Zheng to suffer with me. So... so I still want A-Zheng to stay in the palace, to stay by my sister's side."

“I know that doing this is unfair to A-Zheng and selfish, but I’ve thought about it for a very long time, and I still feel that I should do it.”
