Chapter 244 Familiarity
Hua Leshi couldn't help but stand up straight, then turned to look at Jiang Shuyu, whispered in her ear to follow, and walked directly towards the guards outside the door.
Jiang Shuyu, carrying her medicine box, hurriedly followed Hua Leshi's footsteps. Although Jinshu and the others looked worried, they did not dare to speak casually. They could only watch Jiang Shuyu and the others walk step by step into the palace.
Hua Leshi handed the jade pendant in her hand to the gatekeeper, and then saw the guard nodded slightly, and Jiang Shuyu and the other person were let in.
As soon as the two entered the palace, a young eunuch who had been waiting there respectfully came forward. Eunuch Li looked at Hua Leshi and bowed slightly. Then he looked at her and said, "Miss Hua, the emperor has ordered us to take Miss Hua directly to the Eastern Palace to treat the crown prince. Who is this? Could this be the folk doctor Miss Hua mentioned? We are honored to meet you!"
Jiang Shuyu nodded slightly, then looked at Eunuch Li and bowed, "Greetings, Eunuch Li!"
Listening to Jiang Shuyu's hoarse voice, a trace of pity flashed in Eunuch Li's eyes. He couldn't help but feel sorry for her. What a poor person!
Hearing Eunuch Li's question, Hua Leshi hurried forward and looked at Eunuch Li and said, "Eunuch Li has good eyesight. This is the doctor my master found. My master knew that the Crown Prince was suddenly unwell and was very worried. However, she is now outside and cannot come back, so she asked Leshi to find someone to treat His Highness the Crown Prince."
Hua Leshi narrowed her eyes slightly and hurriedly mentioned her master. You know, although her master had left the palace a long time ago to take charge of Ruyi Pavilion, she had watched Nangong Junze grow up. Nangong Junze would also give some face to her master. Now, it was reasonable for her to come to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the name of Hua Shu.
"Your Majesty is naturally aware of Hua Gu's intentions. Look, this old servant has been waiting here for you two since early morning. Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is suffering from illness, we should not waste time here. This old servant will take you two there right away!"
Eunuch Li listened to Hua Leshi's words, and his eyes flashed slightly. He glanced at Jiang Shuyu who was silent beside him, and a smile flashed in his eyes. Then he walked in front of the two of them, watching Jiang Shuyu chatting casually.
Jiang Shuyu naturally answered all the questions from Li Gonggong. She was also wary of Li Gonggong's care along the way.
Following Eunuch Li's footsteps, they arrived at the East Palace. Just as Eunuch Li was about to go in, he saw Jiang Xinxue and several palace maids coming out. Seeing this, Eunuch Li hurried forward to greet them.
"Your servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess. May Her Royal Highness be blessed with good health!"
Looking at Eunuch Li's respectful look, Jiang Xinxue's eyes were filled with satisfaction. She nodded slightly in agreement and then prepared to leave. However, when she saw Hua Shu and the others, Jiang Xinxue couldn't help but stop.
Hua Leshi listened to what Eunuch Li said and hurriedly tugged at Jiang Shuyu's sleeve. The two of them followed Eunuch Li in paying their respects.
Looking at the people in front of her, Jiang Xinxue's eyes flashed with doubt, and then she slowly walked towards Jiang Shuyu, carefully looking at Jiang Shuyu and the other person. Seeing that they were both unfamiliar faces, she immediately became alert and looked at Li Gonggong and asked:
"Eunuch Li, who are these two?"
Hearing Jiang Xinxue's question, Eunuch Li couldn't help but glance at Jiang Shuyu and the other one, then looked at Jiang Xinxue and said respectfully:
"In reply to your question, Princess, these two are doctors the Emperor has hired from outside. I heard that Doctor Yu is an excellent doctor, and is particularly good at treating difficult and complicated illnesses. The Emperor loves his son dearly, and upon hearing that Doctor Yu has such skills, he wanted to let Doctor Yu try, so as to alleviate the Crown Prince's pain!"
"What? This quack doctor who came from nowhere, the emperor actually let him treat the emperor, how can this be allowed? If anything happens to the emperor, can he bear the consequences? The emperor is of noble status, not just anybody can get close to him. I don't know what ability he has to deserve the emperor's high regard!"
Jiang Xinxue said, then turned and came to Jiang Shuyu. Seeing Jiang Shuyu hanging her head and not saying anything, Jiang Xinxue couldn't help but feel a little familiar, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, as if she had seen her somewhere before. Suppressing the strangeness in her heart, Jiang Xinxue couldn't help but look at Jiang Shuyu and said:
"Lift your head and let this princess see who you are to have earned the approval of our father! If you don't have any real ability, this princess advises you to confess the truth, lest you offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and end up in danger of losing your life!"
As early as when she heard Jiang Xinxue's voice, Jiang Shuyu had already determined that the princess of Nanmo Kingdom in front of her was Jiang Xinxue who should have been buried in the sea of fire long ago. She and Jiang Xinxue grew up together, so she was naturally very familiar with her voice. However, with her current identity, she didn't know if Jiang Xinxue could recognize it was her!
Hua Leshi looked at Jiang Shuyu for a long time without saying anything, a hint of nervousness flashed in her eyes. Just as she was about to apologize to Jiang Xinxue, she saw Jiang Shuyu grab her, and then stepped forward to stand in front of Jiang Xinxue. She looked at her and said in a rough voice: "I, Yu Bin, greet Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Hearing Jiang Shuyu's words, Hua Leshi was stunned and quickly lowered her head to hide the shock in her eyes. She didn't expect that the girl not only looked like a different person, but now even her voice has become a man's voice. Even people who are familiar with her would probably find it difficult to tell her true appearance.
Jiang Xinxue was startled by the sudden rough voice and took two steps back. She felt that she had lost her composure. Jiang Xinxue finally calmed down and looked at Jiang Shuyu with a sharp look in her eyes.
Upon seeing this, Cui Xin rushed forward to protect Jiang Xinxue. She looked at Jiang Shuyu and said fiercely, "How dare you! Why are you so loud in front of the princess? If you scare Her Highness, you'll be in trouble!"
Hearing Cui Xin's words, Jiang Shuyu lowered her eyes slightly, and immediately looked at Jiang Xinxue and said apologetically:
"Please forgive me, Princess. When I was young, my home was in great trouble. Although I was lucky enough to survive, my voice was damaged. When the Princess asked me to speak, I was afraid of scaring Her Highness, so I didn't say anything.
But the princess asked me to reply to you, and I really couldn't disobey! This is why I scared Her Highness. Please forgive me, Her Highness! "
Looking at the strange man in front of her, Jiang Xinxue's heart gradually calmed down.
