The seductive princess is no longer being pursued; the aloof prime minister is facing a crematorium.

Chapter 104 Mr. He is very indulgent towards His Highness
nonsense!

Jiang Jinshuang slammed her hand on the table.

"If it weren't for Mr. He saving Pei Du, the grass on his grave would be three feet tall by now!"

It's one thing to call her scheming and ambitious, but Jiang Jinshuang was unhappy that she had implicated He Weijing.

Si Ning, knowing Jiang Jinshuang's personality, smiled reassuringly and said, "So I think it would be better for Your Highness to take Mr. He to Wenshan Pavilion for a visit."

"Let Mr. He treat you again, and the rumors will naturally fall apart."

Jiang Jinshuang frowned, somewhat troubled: "But I can't keep bothering Mr. He with such trivial matters, can I?"

She initially asked He Weijing to save Pei Du, and later he cleansed her of poison and cured Si Ning's heart ailment.

I've troubled him so many times, I really feel bad about bothering him with this kind of thing again.

Moreover, ultimately, these rumors only started because Jiang Jinshuang asked He Weijing to treat Pei Du's illness.

Si Ning lowered his eyes and smiled: "Your Highness can go and ask Mr. He first. Mr. He is a kind-hearted doctor, and I'm sure he won't refuse to save Lord Pei."

Jiang Jinshuang sighed, "That's all we can do."

If He Weijing disagrees, she will go to the Shange Mansion herself to clarify the matter!
Si Ning smiled, as if she had thought of something, and asked in a doubtful voice, "Why is Yan Jue not here today?"

"Oh, Yanjue said he'll be out of the capital for a few days and will be back in five days."

Si Ning nodded and smiled, "No wonder."

"Hmm?" Jiang Jinshuang asked in confusion, "No wonder what?"

"Before dawn today, Yan Jue went to Yong'an Prefecture to borrow a Ferghana horse."

Did he say where he was going?

Si Ning shook her head and smiled: "No, they borrowed a horse and left, they seemed to be in a hurry."

Jiang Jinshuang nodded and said nothing more. She stood up and said, "Then I'll go talk to Mr. He first."

Si Ning then stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave."

Jiang Jinshuang lifted her foot to leave.

"Your Highness."

Behind him, Si Ning spoke in a gentle and soothing tone.

Jiang Jinshuang stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Si Ning: "What's wrong?"

Si Ning was still smiling. He stood in the bright spot in the main hall, letting the warm light shine on his robes, making him look handsome and dashing.

“Your Highness need not be so reserved with Mr. He,” he smiled. “Regardless of others, Mr. He is quite indulgent towards Your Highness.”

……

Jiang Jinshuang suspected that Si Ning was lying to her.

In a secluded courtyard, He Weijing was sitting under a tree, grinding medicine.

He was wearing a wide-sleeved robe, and for convenience, He Weijing had draped a shawl over his shoulders.

The man exposed half of his forearm, which had some shallow wounds on it. They looked like old injuries, which had healed but still left deep and shallow marks.

It wasn't scary at all; on the contrary, it made him appear cold, upright, aloof, and ascetic.

Upon seeing her arrive, He Weijing raised an eyebrow slightly, his hand still grinding medicine with a stone pestle.

"Your arrival is never good news."

Jiang Jinshuang: "..."

hateful.

Si Ning is definitely lying to her!

Although she thought this way, Jiang Jinshuang gave a dry laugh and walked over to He Weijing with a smile.

"What is Mr. He doing?" Jiang Jinshuang asked, trying to start a conversation.

He Weijing continued working without stopping: "Let's eat."

Jiang Jinshuang was taken aback: "Wasn't Mr. He pounding medicine?"

He Weijing raised an eyebrow and glanced at her without any emotion: "I thought Your Highness didn't know."

Jiang Jinshuang: "..."

What a venomous mouth!

He Weijing is known as the Sage of Medicine, capable of curing all poisons in the world. Did he never think that licking his lips might poison him to death?
"Are you cursing me in your heart?" He Weijing's cold voice came.

Jiang Jinshuang blinked, looking completely innocent, and hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, Mr. He, what are you saying!" He Weijing didn't really pay attention to her either.

Jiang Jinshuang took a small stool and sat next to He Weijing, watching him grind the medicine.

I don't know what kind of medicine he crushed.

If you get closer, you can smell the sweet fragrance of the flowers.

She rested her chin on her hand and watched quietly.

He Weijing didn't care at all. He continued to grind the herbs with a steady hand, the stone pestle crushing the dried herbs into powder, which then emitted a refreshing medicinal fragrance.

“If Mr. He needs anything, I can send someone to help you,” Jiang Jinshuang interjected from time to time.

He Weijing bowed slightly and continued his work: "My prescription is a secret, and I don't need anyone else's help."

Jiang Jinshuang nodded: "Is it alright for me to stay here and watch over things?"

Finally, He Weijing stopped what he was doing.

He sat up slightly, grasped his right wrist with his left hand, and moved it around a few times.

His indifferent gaze fell upon her: "It's related. You know my prescription; you should be silenced."

God knows how bizarre it was for He Weijing to say such a thing with such a serious and handsome face!

Jiang Jinshuang chuckled: "Mr. He is quite the joker."

All the medicine has been ground.

He Weijing took the prepared medicine trough and pill-making board from the side, moistened them with sesame oil, and began to rub the medicine.

"Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"

Making pills requires skill, and He Weijing must do this often, so he's adept at it and knows how to do it well.

Jiang Jinshuang scratched her face and chuckled dryly, "Mr. He, would you like to come with me to Wenshan Pavilion?"

"Wenshan Pavilion?" One by one, the dark pills rolled from the medicine trough into the round trough. "What are you going there for?"

Jiang Jinshuang pondered for a moment before speaking carefully: "It's just that... the prescription you gave Lord Pei last time seems to be less effective. The poison on Lord Pei's shoulder has flared up again today."

Jiang Jinshuang did not tell He Weijing about the rumors.

—I was worried he was overthinking things.

Upon hearing this, He Weijing frowned slightly: "Impossible. The prescription I gave to Wenshan Pavilion was enough to cure his remaining poison. How could it have relapsed?"

After pondering for a moment, He Weijing wondered, "Could there be other poison in his body?"

Jiang Jinshuang shook her head: "I'm not too sure about that either."

However, as far as she knew, apart from the wounds sustained during that assassination attempt, Pei Du didn't have any other injuries, right?

The pills in his hands were also rolled out.

The pills were actually very small and packaged in a very elegant bottle; even if you ate one, you wouldn't taste much bitterness.

After doing all this, He Weijing handed the packaged pills to Jiang Jinshuang: "Here you go."

Jiang Jinshuang took it in a daze, looking bewildered: "This is... for me?"

He Weijing had already gotten up and washed his hands.

The clear water washed over his hands, and He Weijing took a towel and wiped them clean.

Only then did he unfasten the shoulder straps at his waist and hang them back in the distance.

"The pills I gave you last time should be almost finished, so I made some new ones."

Oh, you mean the pills Mr. He gave her last time, the ones he told her to take for fun?

No wonder Jiang Jinshuang could smell the sweet fragrance of flowers when she was pounding medicine.

"Mr. He, you don't need to trouble yourself. I still have quite a few of the pills you gave me last time."

Upon hearing this, He Weijing glanced at her indifferently and said, "Then eat slowly, and let me know when you're done."

The very familiar conversation made Jiang Jinshuang feel somewhat dazed.

Jiang Jinshuang smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Mr. He."

After finishing these tasks, He Weijing straightened his robes and took a few steps toward the archway of the side courtyard.

Seeing that Jiang Jinshuang hadn't followed, he turned to look at her and said, "Let's go."

"I'll go with you to ask about the mountain pavilion."
