The Regent Princess has run away again

Wen Rui didn't expect him to say that and was a little confused.

It took him a while to find his voice again, organize his words, and slowly say, "Is she really that person?"

Wen Jingxuan tapped the corner of the table with his fingers from time to time, but he felt uneasy inside. Wen Rui's words were like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

Seeing that Wen Jingxuan ignored him, Wen Rui continued to talk to himself: "Maybe we recognized the wrong person. Besides, if it was really her, she would have returned to the Western Regions long ago. How could she still be strolling around here leisurely?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now."

Wen Jingxuan rubbed his brows, looking unwilling to talk about it, and changed the subject: "It's useless to stay here now, I'll leave for home tomorrow."

"it is good."

Xue Zhiyu went to the stall of the owner who made candy figures and looked at the lifelike candy figures, most of which were in the shape of animals.

When the boss saw two little girls staring at the sugar figures in front of his stall, he smiled enthusiastically.

"Girl, what kind of sugar figurine do you want? My sugar figurines are not expensive, only three cents each."

Xue Zhiyu bought two candy figures with a wave of her hand, handed one to Xiaoqiu, and ate the other one herself.

Xiaoqiu held the small wooden stick and looked at the sugar figure on it, not wanting to eat it. If she wasn't afraid that it would go bad, she would have wanted to keep the sugar figure.

"Eat it. I am different now than I used to be. You can eat as much of this candy man as you want. I promise you will eat it until you don't want to eat it anymore."

Xue Zhiyu took a bite of the candy man with satisfaction, and her words were still a little unclear.

"Well, it's nice to follow the young lady."

......

"Have you heard that the governor's youngest son is sick? He has invited all the doctors in the city, but his condition is still not getting better."

"Alas, I'm afraid this is a very difficult disease. I don't know if the child can survive it."

"The governor has said that if anyone can save his young son, he will reward him handsomely."

Xue Zhiyu heard the conversation between two people passing by them, and felt a little curious.

Without thinking, he said to Xiao Qiu: "Let's go to the governor's mansion."

This time he did not choose to walk there, but hired a carriage and went to the prefectural government.

It didn't take long before the carriage stopped steadily in front of the prefect's mansion. After paying the silver, Xue Zhiyu took Xiao Qiu to the door of the prefect's mansion.

The guards on both sides of the gate of the prefect's mansion saw two girls coming and stretched out their hands to stop them: "No one is allowed in!"

"I'm here to see your Lord Governor. Please help inform him."

After saying that, seeing the mocking looks on the two guards' faces, Xiao Qiu was so angry that he almost wanted to argue with them.

"Go, go! Our Lord Governor doesn't have time to play with you."

Xue Zhiyu was not annoyed. She picked up the document and said slowly, "Go and tell the governor that it is Princess Kangle who is here to see him. She can help cure the young master's illness."

The two guards were shocked when they saw the contents of the disc, and quickly changed their expressions: "It turned out to be the princess. I will report it to the governor immediately."

After one of the guards finished speaking, he quickly ran into the mansion.

In the inner courtyard, the prefect seemed to have not rested for several days. There was a dark circle under his eyes and his eyes were full of bloodshot. He looked at the main door and couldn't help but sigh again.

"Sir, Princess Kangle wants to see you, saying that she can cure the young master's illness."

The guard repeated the original words word for word, then stood aside with his head down and remained silent.

When the governor heard the last sentence, his face was full of excitement, and he said without thinking: "Quickly invite the person into the hall."

"Yes."

After the guard left, the prefect straightened his clothes, carried the cloth and walked out of the inner courtyard.

The guard who had just informed Xue Zhiyu made a gesture of invitation: "Princess, please."

The two followed the guard to the hall. The prefect had already arrived. The moment he saw Xue Zhiyu, he waved his hand as if he had seen a savior and asked the guard to leave.

"When did the princess arrive in Penang? Why didn't you let someone know?"

The governor suppressed his inner anxiety and spoke politely, looking the person in front of him up and down.

Although she was a girl who had just come of age, there was not a trace of timidity in her eyes. Instead, she let him look at her calmly.

"I don't plan to stay any longer, so I won't bother the governor any more. I want to see how the young master is doing."

Xue Zhiyu was also secretly sizing up the governor. He was about forty years old, with a dignified square face. He looked intimidating without even getting angry, but at this moment, he seemed a little tired.

Speaking of this, the governor did not bother to be polite with her. He sighed and said quietly, "Zhen'er has been ill ever since she caught a cold. She also had a high fever. Although the fever has subsided, she is still very ill."

Xue Zhiyu had a rough idea in her mind: "Please, Sir Governor, take me to have a look."

On the way to the main house, the governor told her the situation again, and Xue Zhiyu wrote it down one by one.

Pushing open the door of the main room, Xue Zhiyu glanced at the closed window and subconsciously frowned.

In the main room, a middle-aged woman dressed as a woman was holding a delicate little hand in one hand, her face full of grief.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the woman took a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. When she saw the person coming, she opened her mouth to say something, but when she saw the person behind him, she closed her mouth again.

The governor took the initiative to introduce: "This is Princess Kangle who is here to treat Zhen'er, and that is Zhen'er's mother." The latter sentence was said to Xue Zhiyu.

Xue Zhiyu nodded and then walked to the bed.

Lying on the bed was a little boy with a slightly flushed face, about eight or nine years old, his big, bright eyes staring at him without blinking.

The wife of the prefect knew that she was here to treat Zhen's illness. Although this princess who had just come of age was very young, she had the ability to cure the black disease, which showed that this princess should not be underestimated.

"Young Master, is your throat still unable to speak normally?"

The governor's wife nodded and said, "The doctor prescribed some medicine for Zhen'er, but she still feels the same after taking it for several days."

Xue Zhiyu nodded. It seemed that she had pharyngitis and she had to take anti-inflammatory medicine.

However, there were other people watching here, and she was afraid that her basic examination would seem incredible to them.

"Please go out for a while and open the windows to allow air circulation. This will help with recovery."

After hearing this, the wife of the prefect quickly opened the window that had been locked.

"Okay, let's go out first. Call us if you need anything."

Several people left the room and quietly closed the door.

After everyone left, Xue Zhiyu bent down slightly and let the little boy sit against her. Looking at him with those sparkling eyes, she couldn't help but pinch his little face.

The little boy seemed to be pinched on the face for the first time. He was stunned and said in a hoarse voice: "Are you here to heal me?"

"Yes, now try not to talk. Come on, open your mouth and I'll check your throat for you."

Although the little boy didn't understand why he did this, he still opened his mouth obediently.

Fortunately, there was plenty of light in the room. Xue Zhiyu looked in the light and saw that her tonsils were swollen. It looked like they were really inflamed, but she could just take some anti-inflammatory medicine.

"Okay, I'll prescribe some medicine for you later. It won't be bitter."

"I'm not afraid of hardship."

Looking at the boy's determined eyes, Xue Zhiyu raised her lips slightly and gave him a thumbs up: "Great, he will definitely achieve great things in the future."

Hearing this, the light in the little boy's eyes became even brighter, so dazzling that it could not be ignored.

"You don't have to lie down all the time, you can go out for a walk more often."

Xue Zhiyu liked this little boy named Zhen'er very much. He was well-behaved, sensible and cute. She wanted to pinch his little face hard for fear of scaring others.

Zhen'er nodded repeatedly to show that she understood, then she supported herself on the bed with one hand, picked up her little boots and put them on.

Xue Zhiyu pushed open the door, looked at the governor and his wife outside, and said slowly: "My medicine is at the inn, I need to go back."

"I'll have someone send you back to get the medicine and come back later."

"Well, that's troublesome. By the way, let me see the prescription written by the doctor."

"Cui'er, bring the prescription here."

"Yes, ma'am."

Cui'er handed the prescription to Xue Zhiyu from the room.

Xue Zhiyu took it and took a look. Forsythia, Sterculia lychnophora, Scrophularia, Ophiopogon japonicus, etc. are all basic medicinal materials for treating pharyngitis.

"There's nothing wrong with this prescription. I'll go back to the inn first," Xue Zhiyu returned the prescription and said to the governor.

The prefect nodded slightly, then quickly called the butler and asked him to prepare the carriage.

Xue Zhiyu and her partner got on the carriage prepared by the butler and quickly returned to the inn.

After leaving the inn, the two took a detour to the open space behind the inn.

There were several carriages parked there. Xue Zhiyu found the carriage she came in, asked Xiaoqiu to wait outside, and then she lifted the curtain and got into the carriage.

He took out his spare medicine box from the cabinet under the recliner, quietly took out the anti-inflammatory drugs from the space, divided the drugs into appropriate dosages, and put them into the medicine box.

Soon, Xue Zhiyu got out of the carriage, carrying the medicine box and Xiaoqiu, and quickly returned to the carriage in front of the inn.

When the butler driving in front saw the two men coming back, he did not dare to delay any longer and turned around and drove the carriage towards the prefect's mansion.

This time, there was no need to notify anyone. Xue Zhiyu and her companion walked to the main room unhindered and nodded to the governor and his wife.

"Sister Princess."

A hoarse voice sounded from behind the prefect's wife. Zhen'er stuck her head out and walked over quickly, as if she wanted to say something.

Xue Zhiyu spoke before him, "Young Master, please watch your throat. It's better not to say too much now."

Zhen'er didn't make a fuss. She nodded obediently and said nothing more.

"Sir Governor, this is medicine for Zhen'er. Take it three times a day, two pills each time. You can take it together with the medicine prescribed by the doctor. There will be no conflict."

The prefect took the paper bag, feeling very grateful, and gave a look to the butler who was waiting on the side.

The butler understood and quietly retreated.

The wife of the prefect didn't think too much about it. She was thinking about Zhen'er's illness in her heart and eyes, and said directly: "Master, give me this medicine. Zhen'er's illness can't be delayed any longer."

When the prefect heard this, he didn't bother to ask any other questions. He handed the paper package to his wife and watched her take Zhen'er into the room. Then he looked at the person in front of him again.

"I also know a little about the princess's deeds. The Prime Minister really taught his daughter well. Her medical skills will shine in the Imperial Hospital."

"Thank you for your praise, Madam Governor. As a Yan countryman, I should share your majesty's worries."

The prefect nodded and became even more curious about Princess Kangle.

The princess was neither humble nor arrogant, and her answers were flawless, leaving no room for any loopholes. She also had extraordinary medical skills.

However, there is fierce internal struggle in a large family, not to mention the Prime Minister's Mansion. If one shows his edge too early, he may not survive adulthood. No wonder this princess did not go out to clarify even when others spread rumors that she was ignorant.

Xue Zhiyu naturally had no idea what the prefect was thinking. After explaining a few things, she was about to leave.

The governor said, "Princess, this is the medical fee for you. I hope you will accept it."

Xue Zhiyu looked at the heavy purse and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This governor must be a wealthy man, as he was so generous. One could tell from the purse that it contained a lot of money.

This bag of medical fees is enough for an ordinary family to live on for a year.

"Sir, I only charge five taels of silver for this consultation, plus the cost of medicine, a total of eight taels of silver. I won't charge you one tael more."

Seeing her firm attitude, the prefect sighed and had to take out eight taels of silver from his purse.

After Xue Zhiyu took it, she didn't plan to stay any longer and said goodbye, "We will go back first and don't bother you any more."

"How long do you plan to stay in Penang?"

"Three days."

"Okay, if Zhen'er recovers, I will definitely send someone to look for you."

After leaving the name of the inn, Xue Zhiyu declined the governor's farewell and planned to go for a walk with Xiaoqiu.

The prefect went with them because he was concerned about his young son's illness.
