After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

The Mid-Autumn Festival was supposed to be a time for family reunions, but something like this happened, and the atmosphere in the house suddenly became much bleak.

Zhou Fang was very anxious, worried that if Madam Lu passed away, what would happen to the second house?

It will definitely delay Lu Jiangxun's marriage.

One after another, famous doctors in the capital were invited to the residence of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, but no conclusion was reached.

At this time, a rumor quietly spread, saying that Yuan Wanru had contradicted her elders, which made Mrs. Lu so angry that she fell ill and was in critical condition.

When Wang Min heard these things, the rumors had already spread like wildfire.

Mrs. Lu has been in a coma for three days now.

Wang Min specifically called Lu Jiangnian over and told him not to let Yuan Wanru know about these things.

"I don't know who spread the rumor. I've severely reprimanded the servants in the mansion and ordered everyone to stop spreading rumors. Please keep an eye on Wanru. She's very sensitive and will think twice after hearing these words."

Lu Jiangnian laughed.

The person his mother was talking about always seemed very different from the woman he knew.

My wife is open-minded and it is impossible for her to have any wild thoughts about these false accusations.

She would just find a way to fight back.

"understood."

After returning to Mianyue Pavilion, he immediately told Yuan Wanru what happened.

After hearing this, her first reaction was to laugh.

"It seems that someone is targeting me."

Today she wore the earrings that Lu Jiangnian gave her, and also a seven-piece exquisite hairpin that Lu Jiangnian gave her later. Lu Jiangnian felt particularly comfortable seeing them.

It turned out that just seeing her wearing the things he gave her could make her feel better.

In the future, he must send her more gifts so that she will be branded with his mark from head to toe.

"I think so, but does my lady have any suspicions?"

Her intuition was that it was Liang Yusong.

But Liang Yusong is now living in the mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. Who will help her do all this? It should be Concubine Liang or the Second Prince.

"Can't tell."

She lowered her eyelids and suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"I know you're the Crown Prince's study companion and have been close to him since childhood. I wonder what your relationship is like with the Second Prince?"

Lu Jiangnian raised the corners of his eyes, as if he didn't understand why she brought up this topic.

However, he answered from the heart.

"The Second Prince is a calm and sincere person, and we have a decent personal relationship."

Yuan Wanru felt a little depressed, but her face looked very relaxed, as if she was chatting with him casually.

"I met the Second Prince's Consort in the East Palace last time. I felt that she had a good relationship with the Crown Princess."

"It seems that they don't look like sisters-in-law, but more like sisters. It seems that the relationship between the Second Prince and the Crown Prince must be very good."

Lu Jiangnian looked at her with a half-smile and a serious gaze.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

She was startled, then snorted and turned her head away from him.

"Just curious, is there anything I can't ask?"

"When I met Doctor Gao today, I remembered that he is Liang Yusong's grandfather, and that Liang Yusong and the Second Prince are cousins."

"I saw you being quite harsh towards Liang Yusong that day. Aren't you afraid that she'd complain to the Second Prince and affect the friendship between you two?"

This reason seemed reasonable, but Lu Jiangnian still felt it was far-fetched.

After all, she had never asked these questions before, and she shouldn't have asked these questions when she was being targeted and framed.

He thought he had seen through her, but at this moment, she seemed to be hidden in the fog again, making her unpredictable to him.

After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "The Second Prince always takes the Crown Prince as his priority. He is neither arrogant nor impatient. He always abides by his duties and follows the rules, never overstepping the boundaries."

"Concubine Liang was extremely respectful to the late Empress and had always been extremely caring towards the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince valued the Second Prince and once said to me in casual conversation, 'Second brother will definitely become a virtuous king in the future.'"

The more Yuan Wanru listened, the more frightened she became.

The prince truly knew nothing about the ambitions of Concubine Liang and her son.

From the East Palace's plot against her, she understood why the Second Prince was the crown prince in the end in the book. It wasn't because he took advantage of the opportunity, but because he had been planning this from the beginning.

The prince was deposed because of the overt and covert schemes against him and his mother.

Seeing her brows furrowing tighter and tighter, Lu Jiangnian couldn't help but reach out and gently tap her brows: "It's almost knotted. What's wrong? Can't you tell me?"

Yuan Wanru looked up at him, words coming to her lips but stopping herself.

If you put yourself in their shoes, and someone suspects that your childhood friend is a sinister, cunning, and two-faced villain, but cannot provide any evidence to prove it, would you believe it?

Do you think you have paranoid delusions?

How could she explain that she was certain that Liang Yusong and the Second Prince's wife were plotting against her in the Eastern Palace?

Unless it is revealed that she knows medicine.

So, how could she suddenly know medicine when she had been in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion for so many years?

No matter how gifted one is, one should have a master. Could one learn it in a dream?

Oh, I can’t explain it clearly.

Yuan Wanru sighed and didn't want to fake smile anymore.

"I don't know how to put it. I haven't sorted out my thoughts yet."

"By the way, the ointment you gave me twice was quite good. Do you have someone who knows medicine around you? Why don't you ask him to take a look at the old lady?"

Lu Jiangnian's eyes were dim. She always had reservations towards him.

"No need. I went to see him yesterday, and he couldn't see anything wrong."

He looked at her intently: "What about you? Did you find anything in grandma's room that day?"

To be honest, Yuan Wanru thought about it over and over for a long time these two days, and finally came up with a possibility.

In modern times, her ancestors were doctors. Over the years, many of them delved into medicine. The most valuable thing in the family was definitely not the bank deposits or jewelry, but the two large libraries.

And she grew up in the library.

She recalled reading a book called "Secrets of Miao Medicine", which seemed to be written by her great-great-grandfather, who traveled to the Miao ethnic group, learned the art of witchcraft, and wrote down the notes.

In short, this book is really an antique and has been circulated for five or six hundred years.

Later, in order to preserve them, they were reprinted and scanned and the ancient books were kept.

When she was young, she was full of curiosity about everything. She had read this book and was laughed at by her peers at home, who said that "Gu" was just a legend and it was useless to read it.

Madam Lu's pulse condition was very similar to the description in the book.

However, she still needed to find a medicinal ingredient to try and see if there was really a Gu in Madam Lu's body.

If there is, then she can save Madam Lu.

"I didn't find anything, but I know a secret method that is very similar to the old lady's symptoms. It might be useful."

"What secret method?"

Yuan Wanru looked at Lu Jiangnian seriously and said, "I learned this method from a book. It said it's very useful, but I haven't tried it myself, so I can't guarantee it will work."

"I'm only telling you about this. You can tell Dad, but don't tell anyone else."

"Whether to use it or not is up to you."

Lu Jiangnian paused: "Okay."
