Chapter 38 The Prince is the Princess's Medicine
"What happened to the princess?"
Li Zhenting stood up and asked nervously.
"Your Highness, after returning to Lengyue Pavilion, the princess ate a little food and went back to her room to rest. However, after lying down for a while, she vomited uncontrollably, even vomiting water... She looked very unwell..."
Tong'er looked anxious.
The princess was sent back to Lengyue Pavilion by the prince and told Tong'er that she was very hungry.
Tong'er hurriedly made a bowl of meat wontons. After all, the princess hadn't eaten since yesterday until noon today, so she was worried that this food wouldn't be enough to fill her up. While the princess was eating the wontons, she went to the small kitchen and made a bowl of hand-rolled noodles.
But when she came back with the hand-rolled noodles, the princess's face looked strange, and she was vomiting jaundice water.
"Tong'er is really helpless. I'm worried that the princess is hurt, so I came to find the prince..."
Tong'er knelt in front of Li Zhenting with a look of horror on her face. She looked at the patient lying on the bed wrapped in white cloth, and didn't even dare to raise her head.
I heard that the princess saved Huayuan Envoy's life today, so it must be this person. Could the princess be frightened and act like this? After all, the injured Huayuan Envoy was covered in scars, which was really scary!
Li Zhenting strode away with a burning expression.
The Kazekage and Raikage behind him widened their eyes again, and the smiles on their faces could not be hidden at all.
Which prince said that marrying her was forced by circumstances and that he would divorce her sooner or later? If the prince divorced her, he would have to walk with his head turned!
Lengyue Pavilion.
As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes like a thread being pulled out. Even if it is just nausea, vomiting, and fatigue, it is still very uncomfortable.
Her favorite noodle soup with gravy was placed on the bedside, but now she had no appetite to eat even a bite.
"The princess was fine, why did she become ill? Should we ask Dr. Song to take a look?"
Li Zhenting hurried over and looked at Nangong Qing lying on the bed with a pale face. A trace of heartache and anxiety appeared on his face, which was hardly noticeable.
She had been overworked in recent days, having diagnosed illnesses for him, his father, Fang Yun, Nangong Xin, and the Huayuan envoy. She had consumed so much physical energy that even the strongest person could not bear it.
"I was busy until midnight last night, and now I'm busy again when I open my eyes today. How can I feel comfortable? You can't be treated like this as a worker, right? You should at least take a break, right?"
Nangong Qing pouted and muttered, "To be honest, why don't you just bring a million gold coins to me? Once I feel better, the disease will be cured, right?"
Tong'er blushed, lowered her head, and quietly retreated. Now the princess stayed in the prince's bedroom every night, and I'm afraid her body can't bear it anymore...
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener pays attention. Li Zhenting's ears turned red for no reason, and he thought to himself that she was really bold.
He took off the jade pendant from his neck for some unknown reason.
"Thank you, Princess. Please take a good rest... Let me take this for you first..."
Li Zhenting stuffed a jade pendant tied with a crimson rope into her hand.
This jade pendant was a personal item of his mother, Queen Tian. After Queen Tian passed away, this jade pendant was given to Li Zhenting. When he was a child, whenever he was unwell, he would quickly get better as long as he touched this jade pendant.
This jade pendant can bring him good luck and also comfort her.
"The jade pendant was left by my mother. I can't give the million gold to the princess yet, so this jade pendant will serve as collateral."
He blushed and gave a far-fetched reason insincerely.
Nangong Qing grinned, thinking that the little guy was not stupid at all, he had seen through her thoughts.
This jade pendant left by the late queen doesn't look special. Compared with those precious jade artifacts brought back from the old witch's palace, it is really ordinary.
Well, with this jade pendant, I don’t have to worry about Li Zhenting not exchanging it for a million gold coins.
As soon as Li Zhenting left, Nangong Qing immediately got up from the bed, picked up the noodles with gravy on the small table beside her, and swallowed them in three or two mouthfuls.
Tong'er watched him wolf down the food, and felt much more comforted.
It seems that the prince is the princess's medicine. Now the prince's attitude towards the princess is getting better day by day. The two of them talk and laugh, and they are no longer like when they first got married.
The princess and the prince will definitely live happily ever after...

"Hmph, I'm angry, I don't want to! How can you be so compromising! With such a small betrothal gift, you'd be worse off sending out beggars!"
Nangong Mansion.
Nangong Yan sat aside angrily, grabbed a box of snacks on the table, and threw it to the ground.
Because of her excessive anger, her face wrapped in white cloth looked even more ferocious. The servants who served on the side all lowered their heads and hunched their shoulders, wishing they could be invisible, for they were afraid that the Second Young Lady would get angry and pick up the scissors to stab them again.
Ever since Nangong Yan had her face disfigured by a tattoo, she couldn't stand seeing others look bad.
The better-looking maids in the Nangong Mansion had several scratches on their faces, some light and some heavy, which made everyone feel insecure, worrying that disaster would befall them at any time.
Tomorrow is the wedding day of Nangong Yan's marriage to Prince Qi. Early this morning, Prince Qi sent someone to deliver the betrothal gifts.
It was just a piece of low-grade brocade, a box of palace snacks and a box of tea, but not a single piece of silver, jade or jewellery!
You know, when Nangong Qing returned home three days ago, he brought a cart full of goods. It is said that there were more than a dozen pieces of silk and satin, with patterns and colors suitable for women, children and teenagers. It was enough to make Nangong Qing look good!
This is simply too much! These items delivered to the door are not even tied with a red thread. Is Empress Lu sending away beggars?
"Yan'er, please don't get angry. Take a step back and the sky will be clear. After all..."
Xue Yuping was extremely anxious and rushed forward to persuade him, but she swallowed the next words.
"After all, my appearance is ruined and the baby in my belly was aborted. It's my good fortune that Prince Qi can marry me, right? Father! Mother! If you hadn't insisted on me marrying Prince Qi, how could I have handed Prince Yu over to that idiot Nangong Qing!"
"Isn't it good to be Prince Yu's consort? Prince Yu is handsome and his skills and military acumen are all superior to Prince Qi's! Look at how Prince Yu treats Nangong Qing, and how Prince Qi treats me!"
Nangong Yan quickly stood up, grabbed the scissors on the table, and started stabbing wildly at the box of tea sent by Empress Lu!
She refused to accept it! Why was it that Nangong Qing was now so popular and in such a loving and harmonious relationship with Li Zhenting, yet she was despised by Prince Qi and had to force herself to curry his favor?
After all, before, her appearance, talent and knowledge were all superior to Nangong Qing!
"Because Prince Qi is the future Crown Prince! Only by marrying Prince Qi can you become the future Crown Princess! With Empress Lu's support and Lu Pei'an's million-strong army, it's only a matter of time before Prince Qi achieves great things!
What good will it bring you to marry Li Zhenting? When Prince Qi ascends to the throne, Li Zhenting will die! Are you willing to be a widow with no luck?
"Do you know why Empress Lü and Prince Qi are still willing to marry you even though your appearance has been destroyed? That's because I've already discussed it with the Imperial Astronomical Observatory in the palace and have been telling Empress Lü that my daughter Nangong Yan is a golden phoenix. Only by marrying a golden phoenix can one correspond to a golden dragon and achieve great things..."
"Compared to the future position of Crown Princess, Empress, or Empress Dowager, the injustice you suffer now is nothing!"
Nangong Xun said with a gloomy face.
