My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

The royal family was cold and indifferent. When Cui Hongjing suffered this disaster, only the Queen Mother and Concubine Wan sent people to visit him. Among all the princes, only the Prince of Yan came with his princess.

The imperial physician Chen had come once before on the Queen's orders, but when he saw that the bandages on the patient had been removed and the medicines used had been changed, his self-esteem was greatly hurt and he never came again.

"The prince is not favored by the emperor, and they are not close to him. This time the emperor is angry with the prince again, so they avoid him even more. This is not bad, because even if they come, they are here to laugh at the prince."

Zhuang Xiang was telling the truth, and Cui Hongjing knew it, but he still felt chilled when he heard it.

Mei Jiayun had come once before, and with this in-law relationship, it was reasonable for Mei Jiayun to come and visit. But Cui Hongjing refused to allow Prime Minister Mei to visit.

"The Prime Minister never takes sides, and is devoted to the court without any selfish motives, so he is able to gain the trust of the Emperor. Although I am not favored by the Emperor, I am still a prince after all, so the Prime Minister should avoid suspicion. Even you, please don't come again, so as not to be implicated."

"You don't need to mention my injury to the Prime Minister, lest he accidentally mentions something to my father and makes him suspicious. It will not be good for the Prime Minister's Mansion or for me."

"As for the case, you don't need to investigate it anymore. The emperor is already furious."

Within two days of taking Mei Xueer's medicine, Cui Hongjing was able to speak vaguely.

Mei Jiayun also roughly understood what he meant, "Your Majesty is cold on the outside but kind on the inside. He is always thinking about the Mei family. I am very grateful to you."

After Cui Hongjing disobeyed the imperial order, Cui Qimo dismissed him from his post in the Ministry of Justice.

He became an idle prince again.

But Mei Jiayun still assured that although the case had been closed according to the emperor's wishes, he would still investigate it secretly.

After Mei Jiayun left, Zhuang Xiang felt sorry for his prince again. "The emperor wants to protect the prince. If the case is investigated further, I'm afraid the emperor will no longer care about the father-son relationship with the prince. But I feel aggrieved. Isn't the prince's injury in vain?"

Cui Hongjing closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. He just said quietly, "It's just to avoid the limelight temporarily. There is no sin in the world that is suffered in vain..."

It turns out that crappy medicine was quite effective. After a few days, he could clearly feel less pain all over his body.

It would be better if Nanxing didn't hurt his wound with his rough hands and feet so often.

During this time, Mei Xueer also came to see him once. After changing the prescription, she patted her butt and left without saying a word to him.

She is busy.

She went out a few days ago and bought a lot of medicinal herbs. She was thinking about making these herbs into different pills, which would be convenient to use.

Because she was still being counted on to heal the prince, Lu Yi hadn't come to Qingfeng Garden to make her presence felt recently, and they had all stayed away from each other.

As Cui Hongjing's injury has improved at a visible speed, Mei Xueer has earned another 100 points of gratitude these days, of which Zhuang Xiang contributed 83 points.

In addition, Zhuang Xiang also contributed 12 guilt points.

The current cumulative score has reached 164 points.

But Mei Xueer never figured out why Zhuang Xiang felt guilty towards her.

Could it be that he was expressing his master's guilt?

Anyway, this day is not bad.

But the peaceful days did not last long.

On this day, Mei Xue'er was busy kneading pills in her yard when a servant reported, "Princess, someone is coming from the palace..."

Could it be the Queen Mother’s illness…?

Sure enough, it was Nanny Kuang who was beside the Queen Mother.

"Mammy, how is the Queen Mother?" Mei Xueer asked, "I can't enter the palace, but I'm always worried about her condition."

Amid the cheerful music, there was also the heartfelt gratitude from Aunt Kuang.

Mei Xueer was very happy. These points were actually very easy to earn. It was just a matter of a word.

Madam Kuang sighed, "Princess, you are so thoughtful. The reason why I came here today is because the Queen Mother is not feeling well!"

Over the past few days, Zhang Yuanpan and all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital have tried their best. The Empress Dowager did wake up once, but soon fainted again.

The emperor looked very unhappy and everyone was worried every day.

That day, Madam Kuang bravely said to Cui Qimo, "I have an idea. Can we invite Princess Jing to the palace to take a look? In my opinion, Princess Jing does know medicine. Moreover, her medical skills are pretty good."

Cui Qimo naturally hated this daughter-in-law, otherwise he would not have given her to Cui Hongjing without blinking an eye. But when he thought that she could find out the cause of death of a person who had been dead for more than a month, and heard that she was treating Prince Jing's injuries in Prince Jing's mansion and was getting better, he was somewhat tempted. The key point was that the Queen Mother was like this, and a glimmer of hope was better than no hope.

He looked at Zhang Yuanpan who was standing beside him.

Zhang Yuanpan actually felt that Princess Jing had some ability. Although he was unwilling to admit that his medical skills were not as good as a woman's, it was better than failing to cure the empress dowager and losing his head.

Now that the situation has come to this, let’s give it a try.

"Your Majesty, judging from what happened that day, Princess Jing may have some ideas. Even if there is one more person to discuss with, it would be safer for me to administer the medicine."

But Cui Qimo was so angry that he said that Princess Jing was not allowed to enter the palace. He didn't want to slap himself in the face so soon. "Since the Queen Mother wants her to enter the palace to take care of the illness, I can't go against her wishes. So let her enter the palace in the name of the Queen Mother."

In this way, Mei Xueer brought Nanxing into the palace.

Judge Zhang was feeling the empress dowager's pulse with a worried look on his face. When he saw Mei Xueer come in, he quickly stood up and saluted.

Mei Xueer didn't say much. She went straight forward to check on the empress dowager's condition. She also asked in detail about the medication she had taken in the past few days and the changes in her symptoms.

Finally, she said, "Father, I can revive the Queen Mother, but there is a condition. The Imperial Hospital must cooperate with me and must treat her according to my method without any changes. Otherwise, I cannot guarantee that I can cure the Queen Mother."

Cui Qimo was still hesitating, and Mei Xueer said, "Father, if the Queen Mother delays for a moment, the hope of recovery will decrease."

"Recovered?" Zhang Yuanpan, who was standing beside her, suddenly raised his head and looked at her in surprise. "Does the princess mean that the queen mother can recover?"

"It is of course impossible to recover to the state before the onset of the disease in a short period of time, but at least I can guarantee that the Royal Grandmother will be able to walk and speak within two months," said Mei Xueer.

"I agree to your request." Cui Qimo finally made up his mind. "If you can really cure the Queen Mother, I will naturally reward you. But if you brag here and delay the Queen Mother's treatment, your entire Mei family will not be able to escape responsibility!"

"I accept your order and thank you!" Mei Xue'er was confident. Even if the Queen Mother's illness was delayed for a few days, she was still sure that she could cure her, it would just take more time and effort.

Mei Xueer stayed in the palace. She repeatedly warned Nanny Kuang to send reliable people to stay by the Queen Mother's side.

What she was worried about was that someone in the palace might use her to take risks and do something to the Queen Mother in order to deal with Cui Hongjing, thus causing her, Prince Jing, and the entire Mei family to be doomed.

"Don't worry, Princess. I understand." At her age, Nanny Kuang has already become a shrewd person after practicing in the palace. Even if Mei Xueer didn't remind her, she would have thought of it.
