Chapter 742 Going to the City to Seek Relatives

It turned out that after Li Liuyun, Gong Li, and Chu Huainan had dinner, Chu Huainan received news that Lin Miao had caught a severe cold and had a persistent high fever, and might not be able to return to the mansion tomorrow.

So Li Liuyun gave Chu Huainan a pill and asked him to send someone to give it to Lin Miao. Even if she had a severe cold, she would be lively and energetic the next day.

Chu Huainan took the medicine and immediately ordered his guards to go to the temple. The guards went to the temple and found that Abbess Jingyi and the maid had left the room. So they took the opportunity to sneak into Lin Miao's room, and while Lin Miao was asleep, they pressed her acupoints and put the pill into her mouth to feed her. Then they immediately left the room and returned to the Crown Prince's residence.

After instructing the old woman to buy some strong liquor, the maidservant fetched a basin of hot water, wet a cloth, and prepared to wipe Lin Miao's body. As the maidservant touched Lin Miao's forehead to check its temperature, her face lit up with joy; her mistress's forehead didn't seem as hot as before.

So the maid used a towel to wipe Lin Miao's face, planning to wipe her body again after the fever subsided and she sweated.

In fact, this little maid felt both sympathy and helplessness towards Lin Miao's situation. She had been bought into the mansion since she was a child and had always served Lin Miao. She also knew that although Lin Miao was Miss Li from the Prime Minister's mansion, the Prime Minister was not afraid of her, but in the face of interests, this daughter was insignificant.

Miss had finally managed to get a few days of peace and quiet by going up the mountain to pray for blessings on the anniversary of her mother's death. But just a few days later, the Prime Minister sent someone to tell her that she should immediately return to the mansion to serve the Imperial Preceptor and also participate in the Flower Goddess Festival selection.

Miss had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure! But who would have thought that the Prime Minister would actually speak up, saying that even if Miss couldn't get out of bed, he would still carry her into the carriage and take her back to the Prime Minister's residence. In the face of absolute interests, the little bit of father-daughter affection between Miss and the Prime Minister was simply not worth mentioning.

Thinking of this, the maid sighed, turned and left the room. She went to find an old woman, gave her a silver ingot, and asked her to get some millet porridge, thinking that Lin Miao could have some porridge to soothe her stomach when she woke up.

After instructing the old woman, the maid returned to Lin Miao's bedroom and opened the door to find Lin Miao leaning against the headboard.

The maidservant rushed to the bedside, her face beaming with joy: "Miss, you're awake! That's wonderful! I was so worried that if your fever continued, you'd go crazy!"

Lin Miaogang's fever had just subsided, and her face was still a little pale. She looked at the young maid and said leisurely, "If she really became mentally impaired from the fever, that would be good. Then she wouldn't have to deal with these troublesome people and troublesome things!"

The maidservant, unsure how to respond to Lin Miao's words, remained silent for a moment before saying, "Miss, I've instructed the old woman to prepare some millet porridge for you. Please wait a moment, eat something first to warm your stomach. Miss, please heed my advice: as long as one is alive, life must go on!"

Lin Miao listened to the maid's words and looked up at her: "I didn't expect you to be more insightful than I was."

The maid shook her head: "The reason I can think things through is because I am outside the room, but Miss is the one involved. I can't help Miss, so I can only advise Miss to think more positively."

Lin Miao smiled and nodded: "That makes sense. But for me, whether I can accept it or not makes no difference. I can only accept my father's arrangement. To the Imperial Advisor, I am just a tool to vent my desires. I am no different from the women in the brothel. If there is any difference, it is that I belong to him alone!"

"But there are still some things I don't understand. Since I'm the Imperial Preceptor's woman, why did Father still make me choose the Flower Goddess?!" "Alright, get up and pack your things. We'll return to the manor first thing tomorrow morning. That way, we don't want people from the manor coming and bothering us, disturbing the peace of this nunnery. Tomorrow, you should test Jingyi. Give her 100 taels of silver, saying it's a token of my gratitude for her healing me."

"Yes, Miss! I will definitely take care of this matter tomorrow!" The little maid finished speaking and was about to pack her things when there was a knock on the door.

It turned out that the old woman who went down the mountain to buy strong liquor had returned, and she also brought back freshly cooked millet porridge.

The maid took the porridge and instructed the old woman, "Miss's fever has subsided, so it's not necessary! You can put the wine in the carriage and take it back to the manor tomorrow."

The old woman nodded, hugged the wine jar to her chest, and left.

The maid returned to the room with a tray containing a bowl of porridge and a vegetable dish. I put the dish and porridge on the table and went to the bedside: "Miss, please have something to eat."

Lin Miao reached out her hand: "Help me over there."

The maid nodded and draped an outer garment over Lin Miao's shoulders, then helped her to the table to sit down.

Lin Miao sat at the table, ate some side dishes, drank half a bowl of porridge, and then pushed the bowl away: "Put it away, I can't eat anymore."

The maid nodded: "Then I'll put these away first. I'll bring a basin of hot water later so that you can wipe yourself down and change into some undergarments, so you can sleep more comfortably tonight!"

Lin Miao nodded without saying anything more, and with the help of the maid, she returned to the bed and closed her eyes to rest. Seeing this, the maid took away the bowls and plates.

The next morning, Chu Wan waited in his carriage at the side gate of the Crown Prince's residence. After a while, he saw Li Liuyun leading a woman out.

Chu Wan saw that the woman was tall and slender, dressed in a light purple dress, with delicate features and fair skin. At this moment, the corners of her lips were slightly upturned, and she was looking at Li Liuyun with affection in her eyes! What a stunning beauty!

If Chu Wan hadn't known the truth, she would never have believed that the person in front of her was actually the fearsome War God of Beili, Nangong Li.

Seeing Chu Wan staring intently at Nangong Li, Li Liuyun smiled and said, "Stop looking! You'll get so engrossed in him! He's mine!"

Chu Wan blushed at Li Liuyun's teasing: "Your Highness is joking. I just find it a bit unbelievable. If I hadn't seen the Prince's true face, I would never have believed that such a stunningly beautiful man was actually a man!"

Nangong Li slowly spoke: "If I weren't worried about Yun'er's safety, I wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure. I wonder if Your Highness has made proper arrangements regarding our identities?"

Chu Wan took out her travel permit and official identity and household registration documents from her bosom: "These were prepared overnight by His Highness the Crown Prince. The prince and princess are the nieces of Mei Anwen, the commander of the city defense battalion."

Arranged by his father, Mei Lizhi, to go to the capital for a marriage proposal, Mei Anwen had already drowned half a month ago after accidentally falling into the moat while drunk. It's said he still owed the gambling den two hundred taels of silver! His wife had also run off with someone else, leaving only his sharp-tongued old mother to guard the house.

Let's pretend we don't know anything and go to the Mei residence to acknowledge our relatives. Meanwhile, I've already sent someone to secretly inform the people at the gambling den. I'm sure the gambling den owner will be lustful when he sees the prince and princess's good looks!

And that old lady will definitely have malicious intentions, wanting to use your lover to pay off the debt! Then we'll pretend we know nothing, go out of town to pay respects to Mei Anwen, happen to run into Lin Miao whose carriage has broken down, and then encounter the gambling party trying to take her away to pay off the debt—everything will fall into place naturally.”
