Li Liuyun and Nangong Li nodded after hearing Chu Huainan's words: "That's good! We'll go into the mansion. Then, on the way to the sacrificial ceremony, we'll find an opportunity to kill that Gu Master. His Highness the Crown Prince can then legitimately lead people to raid the Prime Minister's mansion, rescue those drug addicts, and then go elsewhere for treatment!"

Chu Huainan nodded: "But after you two enter the manor, please be careful and do not act rashly, lest you arouse suspicion!"

Li Liuyun nodded: "Your Highness, rest assured, the Flower Goddess Festival is only two days away at most! We will definitely not act rashly. By the way, we have some medicine to prevent the epidemic in our carriage, and I will go and fetch the vaccine later. Your Highness, have the people who raided the Prime Minister's residence that day take it. That way, even if they are bitten by those medicine people or even contract the epidemic, their lives will not be in danger!"

Chu Huainan nodded gratefully after hearing Li Liuyun's words: "Thank you, Princess. You are truly thoughtful."

Li Liuyun waved his hand: "Your Highness, there is no need to stand on ceremony. We have agreed to come here for the sake of the safety of the people of both countries and to prevent war from causing bloodshed."

Secondly, I am a disciple of the Divine Physician Valley, renowned for my medical skills. My master was a compassionate healer who saved countless lives throughout his life. As his disciple, it is even more impossible for me to stand by and watch someone die!

Chu Huainan's eyes were full of praise after hearing this: "I did not expect that the princess would have such superb medical skills at such a young age, and such a kind heart as a doctor. I admire her very much!"

"Please, Princess and Prince, get some rest today. Tomorrow morning, Chu Wan will arrange for you two to leave the city to rescue Lin Miao!"

Nangong Li and Li Liuyun stood up and were about to leave the study when Li Liuyun suddenly stopped, took out the peony necklace that Zhang Nanfeng had given her from her bosom, and looked at Chu Huainan: "Your Highness, may I ask if you had Rong Bo sell this necklace to my senior brother?"

Chu Huainan saw the peony necklace in Li Liuyun's hand and said helplessly, "Your Highness is wise! That day, Zhang Nanfeng asked Rongbo to buy him a gift to give to his junior sister as a greeting gift."

From the tone of Rongbo's voice when he spoke of him, I can tell that he thinks highly of his junior sister. I wonder how much of his monthly allowance could buy a decent gift for her. I also think that he has helped me a lot in the manor, and this time he even gave Xing'er a Qi-strengthening Pill.

I thought I'd return the favor, so I asked Rongbo to pick out a suitable item for the little girl from the manor's storeroom. Later, Rongbo brought out several items and asked me to choose one. I thought this necklace was exquisite yet simple, and the little girl would probably like it.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Nanfeng's junior sister is actually a princess! The gift for their meeting is also for the princess. If the princess doesn't like it, tomorrow the palace will open the storeroom so Xing'er can take the princess to choose a few items she likes.

Li Liuyun smiled and shook his head: "I like it very much, but the price of this necklace is far more than fifty taels. How about this, consider this necklace as my fee for treating Her Majesty the Empress to remove the curse?"

Upon hearing Li Liuyun's words, Chu Huainan shook his head repeatedly: "How can this be? This piece of hibiscus warm jade is worth at most five or six thousand taels. I only made this compensation because I felt guilty that Xing'er had pretended to be sick to deceive him, and I thought Zhang Nanfeng was a pure-hearted person."

Besides, how could this mere jade pendant compare to my mother's life? Princess, please stop joking. When everything is settled, I will certainly prepare generous gifts to thank Your Highness and Princess for your great kindness!

Li Liuyun, after hearing Chu Huainan's words, did not press the matter further: "Then thank you very much, Your Highness. By the way, Your Highness, as you said, my senior brother is pure of heart. In addition, my master and my senior brother have not seen each other for many years. After this matter is settled, the one-year period that my senior brother promised will soon be over. At that time, I plan to take my senior brother with me back to Beili to see my master."

Chu Huainan understood that Li Liuyun was indirectly telling him that Zhang Nanfeng could not stay in the Crown Prince's residence to serve him forever.

Chu Huainan nodded: "That's how it should be. Speaking of which, Princess, you probably don't know how I saved your senior brother back then."

Upon hearing Chu Huainan's words, Murong Xing and Chu Wan's eyes lit up, their faces full of gossip.

Li Liuyun also looked curious: "How did Your Highness save my senior brother?"

Chu Wan quickly chimed in, "If the Crown Princess wants to hear gossip, I went to find Physician Zhang to inquire. But it's strange, he usually answers any questions, but when it comes to the matter of His Highness saving him, no matter how I probed, he remained silent and even kicked me out."

Murong Xing kicked Chu Wan: "Explain yourself! Do you think I'm the only one who wants to know this gossip? You've already said everything, and I'm taking the blame? No way! Oh, and what about that Limitless Pill the Princess gave you? Return it to her right now. Trying to take advantage? No way!"

Chu Wan then hurriedly took out a bottle from her bosom and handed it to Li Liuyun with both hands: "I'm sorry, Princess, I forgot for a moment. I certainly didn't mean to covet your medicine!"

Li Liuyun didn't accept the Limitless Pill: "Forget it, there's no reason to take back medicine once it's given away. Besides, it's not anything valuable, so keep it for your self-defense."

Chu Wan was shocked upon hearing Li Liuyun's words: "The princess really gave me this priceless Wuji Pill?"

Li Liuyun smiled and nodded: "It really is! More real than real gold."

Upon hearing Li Liuyun's words, Chu Wan kicked the bottle into her arms and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony. Thank you for your generosity, Princess."

Li Liuyun nodded, then turned to Chu Huainan: "Your Highness, tell me quickly, how did you save my senior brother back then?"

Chu Huainan glanced at Chu Wan, who quickly covered her chest with her hands: "Your Highness, this was a gift from the Princess. Do you expect me to charge you for hearing some gossip?"

Li Liuyun was amused by Chu Wan's words and patted Nangong Li's hand: "I think he's on par with Wushuang!"

Nangong Li shook his head: "I think he's somewhat similar to An Yi!"

Sure enough, the next moment, Chu Huainan threw a book at me: "I've been putting up with you for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that you're my father's guard, I would have dug a hole and buried you long ago."

I see this as a warning to you: do not divulge what you have heard from me, or this day next year will be your death anniversary.

You have two choices: either get out of here, or stay and listen to me, then keep this to yourself and don't tell anyone!

To everyone's surprise, after hearing Chu Huainan's words, Chu Wan cupped her hands and bowed to Nangong Li and Li Liuyun: "Your Highness and Princess, I will escort you out of the city early tomorrow morning. I will not stay here to listen to gossip. If I listen and cannot speak, I will die of suffocation. If I speak, there is a risk of being buried alive. Only a fool would stay here to listen to his gossip."
