Zhang Zheng came to Qing Lian and bowed respectfully.
"Is there something wrong with Uncle Zhang?" Qinglian asked.
Under normal circumstances, Uncle Zhang will not come to see him near evening.
"I wonder if I can have a few words with His Highness alone?"
Zhang Zheng glanced at the dancing curtains and veils beside Qinglian.
Qinglian understood what Zhang Zheng meant: "Sister Wulian, sister Wusha, you go down and have a rest first."
"yes."
Wu Curtain and Wu Sha bowed respectfully to Qing Lian and retreated.
"Uncle Zhang, what's wrong?" Qinglian was even more confused.
Wu Liang and Wu Sha are their personal maids. Normally, Wu Liang and Wu Sha can know everything and there is no need to avoid them.
Unless it is.
Qinglian had a conjecture in her mind.
"What His Highness guessed is correct, it is about Chen Lu."
Looking at Qinglian's eyes, Zhang Zheng nodded.
"What's wrong with Chen Lu?"
Under the veil, Qinglian bit her thin lips gently.
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry. Everything is fine with Chen Lu. It's just that Chen Lu asked Lei Yun to hand over something to Your Highness."
Zhang Zheng took out a box from his sleeves, held it in both hands, and respectfully handed it to Qing Lian.
Looking at this small brocade box, Qinglian took it and opened it gently.
The moment Qinglian opened the brocade box, the medicinal fragrance overflowed and wafted throughout the room.
"This is"
"This is the Huanyan Pill."
Zhang Zheng sighed.
"Mr. Chen collected all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and finally asked the doctor Li Sasa to refine this elixir. I heard that it can restore the appearance.
According to Lei Yun, this is Mr. Chen’s promise to Your Highness."
Looking at the elixir in the brocade box, Qinglian's eyes swayed and she was speechless for a long time.
Zhang Zheng also sighed with emotion:
"Originally, I was also looking for a way to restore His Highness' appearance, but I didn't expect that Mr. Chen actually made the Rejuvenating Pill first.
Mr. Chen was able to collect so many materials and make the elixir just by relying on one person, and he was also a messenger from a small town.
The difficulty involved is a bit unimaginable even for me."
"Chen Lu fulfilled his promise, but I did not fulfill my promise."
Qing Lian squeezed the brocade box in her hand tightly, thinking that he had exchanged various rewards for heavenly materials and earthly treasures, just to restore her appearance.
"I'm not worthy of accepting this elixir." Qing Lian closed the lid and shook her head, "Uncle Zhang, help me send it back."
Zhang Zheng shook his head: "Lei Yun said that if Her Royal Highness the Princess does not accept this elixir, then it will be thrown away. This is also what Mr. Chen means."
Qinglian: "."
"Your Highness, please accept it first. Don't waste Mr. Chen's heart. Qi Guo will repay this friendship to Mr. Chen ten times." Zhang Zheng advised.
"Uncle Zhang, I owe Chen Lu, not Qi Guo."
"But Your Highness, you are the princess of Qi State now, and you will be the empress of Qi State in the future. Your business is the business of Qi State."
Zhang Zheng bowed and changed the subject.
"Actually, this time, the guilty minister came to plead guilty."
"What's Uncle Zhang's crime?"
"I revealed His Highness's identity and designed it to get His Highness to leave Chen Lu, so that His Highness would be kidnapped by a gangster and fall into a dangerous situation.
The minister commits the three major sins of deceiving the emperor, committing the crime of being disloyal to his superiors!
Please punish me severely, Your Highness!"
Zhang Zheng knelt on his knees in front of Qinglian.
"Uncle Zhang, please get up." Qing Lian said calmly, "The matter has come to this, and it is useless for Uncle Zhang to say anything."
"Please punish me, Your Highness!" Zhang Zheng said again.
"Cure." Qing Lian raised her head and looked at the sky in the Miao territory, "So what if I am cured? Uncle Zhang, can I still go back to where I am now?"
"."
"As an old man of Qiguo, everything Uncle Zhang did was for Qiguo. I can understand that for Qiguo, Uncle Zhang is not guilty.
As for me."
Qinglian shook her head.
"As Uncle Zhang said, because I am the princess of Qi State, my life is not just my own. The bird in my body symbolizes responsibility.
Maybe, even without this time, I will still have to leave one day.
If Uncle Zhang doesn't do this, others will do it.
The whole world is looking for me, and sooner or later others will know about me.
Now, I am lucky that Chen Lu was not harmed."
"Your Highness."
"Uncle Zhang, please go down first and leave me alone for a while, okay?"
Qinglian withdrew her gaze and looked at Zhang Zheng.
Looking directly into the calm eyes of Her Highness the Princess, Zhang Zheng kowtowed and said: "I can't do it to Your Highness the Princess. Your Highness the Princess did not punish the old minister's crime. Please let me make up for Her Highness the Princess's crime. Anything will do."
"In that case." Qing Lian thought for a while, "Uncle Zhang, can Qing Lian ask you for a favor?"
"Your Highness, please speak!"
Qing Lian shook her head: "I want to see Chen Lu. After I take this pill."
"This." Zhang Zheng looked very embarrassed.
"I don't need to recognize Chen Lu, as long as Chen Lu sees me, even if he doesn't say a word, it's just a glance, okay?" Qinglian's tone contained a little prayer.
"Yes, if this is the case, I understand. Please wait for a while, and I will make arrangements for you."
"Thank you Uncle Zhang."
"It is my duty to thank Your Highness, but can I ask the Princess the reason for doing this?"
Qinglian held the elixir in her hand tightly: "I said that if I regain my appearance, I want him to be the first to see it. I don't want to break my promise even on this matter."
"I understand..."
Zhang Zheng bowed deeply and left Qinglian's courtyard.
After Zhang Zheng left, two sisters, Wu Lian and Wu Sha, walked in. Only then did Wu Lian and Wu Sha realize that Zhang Zheng had come to return Yan Dan. This was a good thing!
Qinglian just smiled and said that she would go back to her room first. No matter what, they were not allowed to come in without her permission.
"yes."
Wu Lian and Wu Sha knew that Her Highness the Princess was going to take the elixir, so they bowed and stood outside Qing Lian's room, not allowing anyone to disturb her.
In the room, Qing Lian opened the brocade box and took the crystal clear pill.
After taking the elixir, Qing Lian felt that her body was constantly getting hot.
Especially where I have scars, it seems like something is being reborn and something is falling off.
The severe pain caused Qinglian to clench her teeth and sweat broke out on her forehead.
Qing Lian fainted from the pain.
I don't know how long it took.
When Qinglian woke up, his body was filled with black mud and even some dead skin.
Qinglian took off her clothes and used the usual water method to rinse her body. After it was clean, Qinglian stood in front of the mirror and looked at her appearance in disbelief.
