Yan Ruozhen shook her head and decided not to tell him. One more thing would be better than one less thing. When Wang Xiulin took action, she would ask Huang Chenling for help.
She helped him tidy up the bed quilt and stuffed her orchid scented bag under his pillow, treating it as an apology for breaking his head last night. Huh! Don't say she has no conscience.
Three days later, Prince Lugui made an appointment with Princess Huang Tanyue to visit the garden together.
Huang Tanyue recovered her health and felt that now was the right time, so she took the first medicinal pill and accompanied Prince Lugui to the garden to enjoy the flowers.
After walking for a while, she deliberately pointed to a higher flower branch, pretending to smile sweetly and said: "Prince Lvgui, I want the flower on top, can you pick it for me?"
How could the naughty Green Prince resist her smile? He immediately nodded and said, "The princess likes this flower, so I'll pick it for you. Someone, go pick it off." He just said it verbally, but he still said it.
Without moving, he just gave orders to his subordinates.
Huang Tanyue rolled her eyes at him, and said slightly by name: "Prince Lvgui, I just hope you can pick it for me. It would be meaningless if someone else picks it for me. Aren't you willing to pick it for me with your own hands?"
She gave him a look of love, which made Prince Lugui feel a little embarrassed. His figure never climbed to high places, and the flowers were so tall, but just to make the beauty smile, he just picked them at once.
"Okay, princess, I'll take it off for you myself."
He walked over with a big belly and asked several servants to lie down and build steps for him. It was really difficult for these servants to bear hundreds of pounds of weight.
Huang Tanyue began to feel itchy all over her body. Just as Yan Ruocheng said, the medicine began to take effect. She lowered her head and slightly opened her sleeves, and looked at the back of her hands. There were already little red rashes of different sizes.
She deliberately covered the side of her face with her bangs so that the palace maid next to her would not notice her condition for the time being.
Prince Lugui was sweating profusely and finally picked the flower. He happily ran over and gave it to Huang Tanyue.
Huang Tanyue raised her head and smiled at him.
The flower in his hand fell to the ground, and he was so frightened that he quickly stepped back dozens of steps, pointed at her and asked: "You, what's wrong with your face? You have so many rashes!"
While scratching the itch, Huang Tanyue approached him and explained, "My face? I don't know? I just felt itchy suddenly. It shouldn't be contagious. Prince Lugui, don't be afraid."
When she scratched the itchy area, it turned into pimples, some were big or small, and they looked even more terrifying.
"Princess, please stop first. We should keep some distance. We haven't determined what kind of illness you have yet." Prince Lugui took a few steps back, just not wanting her to get closer.
Huang Tanyue wanted to act more realistically, scratching the back of her hand with bloody fingers, deliberately letting him see it, and pretending to be aggrieved, she said: "Prince Lugui, why did you avoid me again?
I've been told that it's not contagious. If you don't believe me, just touch my hand."
"Princess! Please respect yourself. I'd better go back and rest first. After you recover from your illness, let's meet again. Farewell!" Prince Lugui didn't want to touch her for fear of being infected by her. He left in a hurry.
.
"Your Highness, let's go back quickly and send the imperial doctor to take a look." The palace maid next to her came over worriedly to help her walk.
Soon, the news that Huang Tanyue had a strange illness spread throughout the entire hospital. Naturally, it also reached Yan Ruocheng's ears.
She was worried that she would be locked up in the woodshed by Huang Chenling like last time, and she wanted to sneak back to Huang Fengmo as soon as possible before he sent someone.
Sure enough, she saw a few guards who were Huang Chenling walking towards the door from a distance. Of course she would not be stupid enough to go through the front door, quietly sneak to the back window, and jump out of the window neatly.
go out.
Another arrow shot straight away to find Huang Fengmo, who had been resting in the palace these days.
"His Royal Highness—!"
Unexpectedly, Huang Fengmo and Huang Chenling were sipping tea together.
"What's wrong? Ruocheng? You came back in such a hurry. Have you finished the work at the pharmacy?" Huang Fengmo asked.
"..." Huang Chenling looked at her nonchalantly from the side.
Yan Ruocheng chopped his foot and said, "I remembered something very important and wanted to do it, so I rushed back. I'll do it first, so I won't disturb you."
"What is it that you need to do so urgently?" Huang Fengmo asked.
"The little man forgot to collect his treasured bellyband, and it was exposed to the sun outside. So he had to come back and collect it immediately." She said the only reasonable reason with extreme helplessness.
"Tsk! Hahaha..." After hearing this, Huang Chenling was amused by her.
"You really don't have any shame in front of us, so you have to say this. How dignified are you? Go and accept it."
Yan Ruocheng nodded awkwardly, then stepped back and slipped away quickly.
"Brother Emperor, I have to go for a while. I may have had too much tea." Huang Chenling immediately excused herself and walked out.
In the corridor in the courtyard.
"Why are you walking so fast?" Huang Chenling took a few strides to keep up with her steps.
"Second Prince, why are you following this villain? I'm just collecting clothes." She deliberately quickened her pace.
When he turned the corner, he was stopped in the corner by Huang Chenling's palm.
"What's going on? You were afraid of being imprisoned by me, so why did you escape so quickly to seek help from Huang Fengmo?" He asked knowingly.
"Isn't it? You sent people to catch the villain again. I don't want to go to that woodshed anymore. It's really none of my business that the princess gets a strange illness." Yan Ruocheng doesn't want to die even
admit.
"Huh, it's none of your business? Do you dare to swear to the sky?" Huang Chenling teased her chin and said with a smirk.
"I've never done it before, and there's no need to swear a poisonous oath. Second Prince, please get out of the way. Don't force this villain to push you away again, the back of your head is not healed yet." Yan Ruocheng made a move to scare him.
.
Huang Chenling raised her eyebrows and said provocatively: "You are reluctant to push me away."
Yan Ruocheng pushed him hard, but Huang Chenling fell backward without any precautions. She was afraid that he would hit the back of the head again and immediately pulled him back.
"I just told you that you are reluctant to part with it."
"Why are you so annoying?"
"You hate me, and you linger on me like this. Are you slapping yourself in the face?"
"Nothing to say."
She didn't dare push him away, and she couldn't resist him, so she squatted on the ground like a quail.
Huang Chenling's game was a bit boring. He had no intention of arresting her at all. None of the guards he sent were to find her. She just escaped humbly.
Now she lost her temper and crouched down to show him. He felt that he might have been attracted by her stupid behavior.
"Have you squatted enough? Aren't you going to collect clothes? You haven't gone yet."
"No, you will send people to catch the villain and lock him up in the woodshed anyway."
Huang Chenling chuckled and said, "Is it going to scare the mice by locking you in the woodshed? I won't arrest you. Get up."
"Finally, do you feel that this time it's no longer anyone's business?" Yan Ruocheng stood up and patted his knees.
"I didn't say it was none of your business, so I kept my eyes peeled to see what tricks you were teaching Tan Yue." Huang Chenling said, crossing her arms.
"Whatever you want. Little man, please leave."
"Huh? Come on, at least give me something."
"what?"
Yan Ruozhen looked at him doubtfully, while Huang Chenling surveyed the surroundings and pulled her behind a hidden rock.
"Second Prince, I really have nothing to give you."
"Why has your IQ dropped? It's this."
He took the initiative to lift her chin, not to kiss her lips, but to kiss the lower part of her neck, in the same position as last time. The red mark had not faded yet, so he deepened that position again.
"Uh, ah..." He made her make a strange sound.
That's right, Huang Chenling wanted her to give him this shy reaction. He liked to see her reaction like this and would never get tired of it.
Yan Ruozhen felt that he was being played by him, so he felt cruel and pushed his knee upwards, as if he hit something.
"ah--!"
This time it was Huang Chenling Quail's turn to squat on the ground and lower his head.
Seeing his painful look, she didn't expect that her knee kick would be so effective.
It took Huang Chenling a long time to recover, but Yan Ruocheng was waiting for him with her chin in her hands, pretending to be watching the fun.
He gritted his teeth and said angrily: "You, you really deserve a beating."
"Hee!" Yan Ruocheng sneered and said, "I want the second prince to know a saying, that is, he who hits you will love him, and he who loves you will be hit a few times."
"Okay, let me give you a good beating."
"No need, the villain can't bear to be beaten, hahaha..."
"Stop, you're still running away!"
Huang Fengmo stood in a corner from afar, secretly watching their pursuit.
He didn't understand how he was inferior to Huang Chenling, and why Yan Ruocheng was always unwilling to spend time on him. No matter how good he was to her, he still couldn't get her extra care.
It was obvious that Huang Chenling, like him, looked down on her status as a commoner, but she only showed this happy smile to Huang Chenling.
The more he looked at her bright smile, the more he felt jealous. Even he couldn't explain it. He was already like this, but Yan Ruocheng also gradually fell into his heart. Then, Huang
Feng Mo shook his head, denying this feeling.
A week later, Huang Tanyue's condition did not improve, but worsened, turning into symptoms of smallpox.
The imperial doctor found out the cause of the disease, which was caused by poisoning. Huang Chenling quietly intervened and Huang Fengmo also secretly helped, allowing the imperial doctor to conceal the truth.
In the end, Prince Lugui was so afraid of being infected that he broke off the engagement unconditionally and quickly left the palace and returned to neighboring Lingyi.
The story of the princess being forced into a marriage also came to an end.
The rest is how the princess cleans up the mess she made.
Now everyone thought she had smallpox, so they isolated her in the princess palace and couldn't leave her room for a month and a half.
"Oh, I'm almost suffocated..." Huang Tanyue lay on the bed, in a daze.
At this time, a familiar male voice came from outside.
"General, I would like to visit Her Royal Highness the Princess. I wonder if you can be accommodating?"
