Marrying into a rich family by mistake, it is difficult to be a mistress

Chapter 681 Gaining Trust and Temporary Peace

After the Princess Dowager made such a fuss, all the servants gathered in the house and no one dared to sleep.

A maidservant came forward timidly and said, "Your Highness, I have something to say to you. The wound on the back of your hand doesn't look like an ordinary scar, but more like..." The maidservant paused.

"What does it look like?" the Princess asked immediately.

"Like, like poisoned."

"What!" Princess Taichang was surprised. She looked down at the back of her hand in disbelief. "Poisoned? What kind of poison is this? Who poisoned me? Who wants to harm me?"

After hearing this, the nanny also felt that it was a bit similar. "Princess Taichang, I also feel that it is strange. It is just an ordinary wound, how can it not heal? And the injury is getting worse and worse."

"You mean, the doctor who came to treat my injuries is unreliable?"

"Yes." The nanny responded affirmatively, "During this period, we have been under house arrest by General Chang and are not allowed to serve the Grand Princess. If we had stayed by the Grand Princess's side, we would have discovered the clues long ago! We would never have watched the Grand Princess's injury develop into what it is now."

"Then let's ask for another doctor!" Princess Taichang said immediately.

"No, you can't do that! Princess Taichang, you must stay calm now. We are still in Yancheng, and we don't know who wants to harm you. Let's not alert the enemy yet." The nanny immediately advised.

"Then after leaving Yancheng, when you go to Yicheng to rest, secretly ask a doctor to come and see me."

"Yes."

……

The next morning, Princess Taichang was ready and eager to leave Yancheng.

Ji Chuhe and King Huaiyang met outside Chang Yi's county magistrate's mansion.

After exchanging a few words with Chang Yi, Ji Chuhe got on the carriage.

The Princess's carriage was much more spacious than Ji Chuhe's and relatively comfortable.

The Princess Royal did not sleep well all night and looked very bad.

In addition, the wound on her hand began to hurt again, and her face was full of pain. However, she endured it and did not apply the medicine prescribed by the doctor.

She now began to doubt the bottle of medicine.

"Let's get going quickly!" Princess Taichang said impatiently to the outside.

The carriage started moving immediately.

"Ji Chuhe, are you dead? Hurry up and pour me a cup of tea!" The Princess Royal shouted angrily.

Ji Chuhe hurried to pour tea.

The Princess Dowager picked up the teacup and took a sip. "It's so hot, do you want to scald me to death?" After that, she picked up the cup and poured it towards Ji Chuhe.

Ji Chuhe was prepared and blocked it with her hand, and some of the tea fell on the back of the Princess's own hand.

"Ah! It hurts! It hurts so much, bring me the medicine quickly!" The Princess couldn't bear it any longer.

If she doesn't apply the medicine, she will go crazy with the pain!

Ji Chuhe looked at the bottle of medicine and said calmly, "It's better for the princess not to apply this medicine anymore. This medicine has no effect on her injuries. Instead, it makes the wounds less painful and makes the injuries worse."

The Princess Royal was stunned.

Ji Chuhe suddenly said this, did she discover something?

Then, Ji Chuhe took out a bottle of medicine from his body, "Princess Taichang, please use this bottle of medicine first. However, this medicine can't heal the wound on Princess Taichang's hand."

The princess hesitated for a moment, "Ji Chuhe, do you know something? My injury has been getting worse. It's not an ordinary injury at all. I'm actually poisoned, right?"

Ji Chuhe didn't answer. He poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.

The princess suddenly went crazy and grabbed Ji Chuhe's clothes on her chest, "I'm asking you a question! Answer my question!"

"Princess Taichang refused to even use the medicine I gave you. Will you believe what I say?"

The Princess Royal took another look at the bottle of medicine and finally relaxed her guard.

"Apply this medicine to me."

The nanny immediately opened the medicine bottle, took out the medicine and applied it to the princess.

"Ah! It hurts! Ji Chuhe, are you trying to murder me?"

"Murder? Princess Taichang, look at the wound on the back of your hand, it has already started to rot. If you apply the medicine and there is no pain at all, do you think it is real medicine?"

The Princess Royal was speechless for a moment.

"Princess Taichang, I came to Yancheng this time on the orders of the Grand Empress Dowager. Even the Grand Empress Dowager trusts me, but Princess Taichang is unwilling to believe me."

"What do you mean?" The Princess asked, trying to suppress the pain.

"If, as soon as my father and I arrive, we confront Chang Yi and want to take the princess away, what will Chang Yi's reaction be?"

"I will definitely not agree." The Princess Royal replied.

"Yes, the situation will be deadlocked. My father, as the king, can directly arrest Chang Yi and punish him, but will Chang Yi surrender? The Empress Dowager insisted that I come here. She wants a situation where she doesn't want the Princess to be wronged or have any chaos. She also wants to save the face of the royal family."

The Grand Princess still looked at Ji Chuhe in disbelief, "Are you really that kind? Are you really here to save me?"

"I came here this time, putting aside our personal grudges. Since I chose the Grand Empress Dowager, of course I have to help her solve her problems. The Grand Princess still doesn't believe what I said. After returning to the imperial capital, I will personally verify it with the Grand Empress Dowager. If it weren't for my secret letter, the Grand Empress Dowager would never let the Emperor issue this imperial decree, and asked Chang Yi to personally escort the Grand Princess back to the imperial capital."

"There is no need to go back to the capital to ask the Grand Empress Dowager for confirmation. I believe what you say now. Tell me the truth. Have I been poisoned? Who is trying to murder me?"

"I'm not a doctor, so I can't confirm whether it's poisoning or not. I just suspect that this is a symptom of poisoning. Once we leave Yancheng, I want to secretly find a doctor for the princess. The doctor arranged by Chang Yi cannot be trusted."

This idea just happened to coincide with the Princess Grand Princess's idea.

"Princess Taichang, there is one more thing I want to remind you. Our journey back may not be peaceful. Please do not trust Chang Yi."

"Okay." The Grand Princess nodded and agreed, "Ji Chuhe, if I can return to the imperial capital safely this time, I will definitely remember your contribution and our past grudges will be written off."

"Okay! Just based on what the Grand Princess said, I will do my best to escort her!"

The atmosphere in the carriage no longer had the tension at the beginning, and suddenly became harmonious.

"Princess Taichang, please tell me in detail what happened when you arrived in Yancheng, and see if we can find any clues." Ji Chuhe spoke again.
