The cruel little princess

"I just did what the young lady said. I told him that when she was young, she saved an old man who fell off a cliff. The old man was kind and not only cured the young lady's dementia, but also passed on all his medical skills to her."

Chuntao explained everything. "Don't worry, Miss. Chuntao is not stupid. She knows what to say! Besides, you are so kind and often rescue small animals from the mountains! Back then, you and Chuntao bandaged them together!"

"At that time, the young lady also rescued a little magpie that had fallen out of its nest. It broke its wings and couldn't fly. I didn't know what to do. The young lady said that she had seen Wang Ergou next door break his leg and go to the town to see a doctor to fix his bones, so the young lady also learned to fix the little magpie's bones. I don't know if it was right or not, but the little magpie was able to fly afterward! At that time, I said that the young lady was amazing!"

"This proves that the young lady is indeed gifted in medicine! That's why she learned medicine from the Buddha so quickly and effectively!" Chun Tao praised her young lady without thinking. Her eyes were almost full of stars, and she almost had the word "worship" written on her forehead.

Shen Youyou loosened her fingers and gently placed the box on the table beside the bed. "Good Chuntao, you did a great job. If someone asks you next time, just answer like this!"

"Miss, how did you get to know the prince?" She quietly asked her young lady. When her young lady was in the countryside, she had few friends to play with because of her innocent and simple character. How come she got to know the prince now that she was in the military camp?

Moreover, the prince acted as if he was very familiar with his young lady. When did this happen? Wasn't she stopped from following the young lady into the tent yesterday afternoon?

Shen Youyou was deep in thought. She didn't remember the original owner knowing any prince! Why was it so strange? Shen Youyou shook her head.

"I don't remember either. I only remember that I did go to the capital with Dad seven years ago, but after just a few days, Dad sent me back. Then you came to my house, and you know everything that happened after that. But I don't remember anything that happened during the time I was in the capital. I didn't remember much back then. Maybe I saw it, but then I forgot it..."

Prince Jin held his breath and stood silently in a corner where the screen was invisible, listening to the conversation between the two people inside.

He also knew not to listen to, see, or speak anything indecent.

But people who practice martial arts have sharp ears and eyes, and he was paying close attention to Shen Youyou. From the moment she went behind the screen, he could not hear the other two of them except for the fact that they spoke in low voices at the beginning.

When he heard the little girl no longer lower her voice and asked Shen Youyou how she knew him, for some reason, his heart began to beat faster. He wanted to hear Shen Youyou's memories of him, but he was also afraid to hear Shen Youyou's memories of him. All of this was a manifestation of his cowardice and incompetence.

But in the midst of his nervousness and confusion, he heard her reply that she didn't know him?! She didn't remember him?!

Prince Jin pursed his lips tightly, and slowly clenched and unclenched his fists. It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter if I don’t remember or know him.

Now that he was here, now that she was better, he had to make her remember him, preferably... belong to him! After all, she was the warmest ray of light in his dark life!

Who wants to live in a dark corner when you can live in the light? Now that you have enjoyed the warmest sunshine, you will never want to go back to the cold and windy winter!

God knows how much he has restrained himself for her over the years! In the previous dynasty, he was a prince, and because he was afraid of being accused of collusion with the generals by the censors, he had never had any contact with General Shen.

But more than ten days ago, an urgent report came from the border, stating that General Shen was seriously injured and unconscious, and his son's whereabouts were unknown.

The Qinglong Kingdom is watching covetously, and the border is full of crises.

The court was abuzz with discussion, as the army could not be without a general for a single day. The court was bound to send a suitable candidate to the border to take charge of the overall situation.

If this happened after a series of great victories at the border and the main general was injured, the princes would definitely rush over. It would be obvious that they would come to reap the credit, so who wouldn't want to do it?

But the current situation is that the commander at the border is injured and unconscious, and the enemy country is surrounding him. If he is defeated, he may lose his head.

Even if they didn't lose their heads, they couldn't bear the emperor's wrath. So at that moment, no prince was willing to volunteer to fight. Except him!

Unable to contain his inner excitement and worry, he asked his father in the court to go to the border. Privately, he persuaded the emperor to issue an oral order, ordering Miss Shen to rush to the border, on the grounds that Major General Shen's whereabouts were unknown and General Shen's life or death was unknown, and asked Miss Shen to go to the border to see General Shen for the last time.

As for his advisers, they all said that he ignored the overall situation in the court and should not have taken the initiative to request to go to the border.

He did not even bring a single counselor with him. He selected his own private soldiers and secret guards and set out that day with the imperial physician Xu, who was sent by the emperor to treat General Shen.

He rode at full speed, and Xu Yuyi couldn't keep up with him. The situation was urgent, and he was extremely anxious. He left ten secret guards to protect Xu Yuyi's safety, and then he took the other secret guards and rode at full speed all the way to the border.

Only then did he travel day and night, rushing as fast as he could, and arrived at the border four days earlier than Imperial Physician Xu.

As for the ginseng, he took it out on the first day of his arrival and asked the military doctor to check whether it was suitable for General Shen to take.

At that time, General Shen was in critical condition and bleeding profusely. The military doctors originally wanted to take out this ginseng for General Shen to take, but when they saw that the ginseng was too old, they were afraid that General Shen would not be able to take it, so they gave up.

And yesterday, Prince Jin saw Shen Youyou treating General Shen with great efficiency. It seemed that his medical skills were in no way inferior to those of the youngest head physician of the Imperial Hospital, Xu Yuyi.

He knew that this ginseng could play a greater role in Shen Youyou's hands than in his own. So today he took out the ginseng again and gave it to General Shen.

Shen Youyou sighed softly and took out the medicine jar. She gently took off the lid of the jar and carefully put it under her nose and sniffed it.

As expected! It was exactly as she had guessed! She pondered for a moment and prepared to go out to find Prince Jin and report her findings.

After Shen Youyou walked out from behind the screen, she discovered that Prince Jin had not left and was still sitting in the main seat in the tent.

With a quick glance, Shen Youyou also saw that Prince Jin was a man with a clear breeze and bright moon. He had picturesque eyebrows, a high nose, thin lips, and sword-like eyebrows that slanted into the few strands of black hair falling at the corners of his temples.

Just looking at his handsome profile, one could tell that his facial features were impeccable. Shen Youyou felt a little annoyed. It turned out that he had been sitting outside the whole time. Did he hear what the master and servant had just said?

Don't you know that you shouldn't listen to anything indecent? But now isn't the time to think about that. Shen Youyou hurriedly lowered her head and bowed before saying, "Your Highness, do you have any information on my father's poisoning?"

"Well, there are indeed some clues." Prince Jin gave an ambiguous answer.

"Does the prince have any doubts about anyone?" Shen Youyou continued to ask.

"From what Miss Shen said, you already have an idea in your mind? Who is it?" Prince Jin asked back.

Shen Youyou rolled her eyes in her heart. This was the bad thing about the ancient times. If something had to be said openly, it had to be kept secret and tested back and forth.
