The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1338 - 1418: Ninth Princess
"Can this person be trusted?" Yun Ge had some impression of Su Lang, having already learned of Su Lang’s existence from Dong Huiying, but she had some doubts about Su Lang.
The human heart is fickle, and besides, this Su Lang seems to have an unclear relationship with Qinghe. What if he’s a spy?
Dong Huiying rubbed her chin, "Indeed, we cannot be too cautious. How about this, I’ll feed him something. It’s harmless to the body, but on the condition that he doesn’t act against us, otherwise..." It was self-explanatory. She had saved Su Lang initially because of the relationship between Su Lang and Zhi Chen.
But after so many years without seeing him, some things were really uncertain.
Yun Ge felt relieved, "I’ll go bring that mad woman over here."
"Alright."
Dong Huiying opened her small bundle. On the way to the Capital, she had already concocted the "antidote" to cure the Ninth Princess’s madness. However, after learning from Prince Meng that the Ninth Princess would occasionally regain clarity, she was uncertain again, so she asked Prince Meng to help her prepare medicinal herbs.
If this antidote couldn’t dissolve the Gu within the Ninth Princess, at worst, she’d just refine another one specifically tailored to the symptoms.
Yun Ge walked out of the room, seeing Liu Yan and Hong Fei standing on either side of the door like Door Gods. The Imperial Palace was no ordinary place, and they had to be on high alert.
To say, Dong Huiying had been confined, and apart from Yun Ge and Prince Meng, she hadn’t seen anyone else. It was evident that when she ran away from home in Dongdi, she had really angered Yun Ge. Not only had she locked her up in a twisted manner, but she also prohibited her from contacting the outside world, probably for fear that Liu Yan and Hong Fei were too loyal and, if bewitched, might release her...
Thinking of this, Dong Huiying couldn’t help but chuckle a bit.
Yun Ge asked Hong Fei, "Where is the Ninth Princess?"
"In the garden to the east."
Hong Fei glanced at the door behind Yun Ge, hesitating to speak.
Hong Fei, now a family woman, was living a good life. If it weren’t for the troubles with Dong Huiying, she might have been living a happy life with her two husbands in Kaoshan Village now.
Yun Ge went in and out every day, and Hong Fei had glimpsed Dong Huiying a few times. Every time she saw that wrinkled nun inside, her heart ached intensely.
How did their General turn into this? To hell with the resurgence, she’d rather be the one to experience it herself!
Following Hong Fei’s directions, Yun Ge indeed found a disheveled madwoman in a desolate and run-down little garden.
The madwoman was wearing tattered clothes, covered in mud, her face streaked with grime, and her hair was as messy as a bird’s nest.
If placed outside, she’d likely be indistinguishable from a city beggar.
Isn’t it fascinating how unpredictable a person’s life can be?
This person was born under celestial phenomena, being the ninth in the palace, the Empress named her Ji Jiuhuang. And how precious is the number nine? Nine is the ultimate number in the world, nine is also the nine in the Supreme of Nine Five!
This person was an invisible Princess Royal from birth, favored for over twenty years, named Jiuhuang, styled Qianhuang, each more grand than the last. Yet, in the end, she ended up like this.
Who knows if it’s more tragic or more humorous.
"Ji Jiuhuang, come with me."
With no one else around, Yun Ge couldn’t be bothered to show respect.
But a madwoman is just that, mad and foolish. During her madness, she forgot even her own name and didn’t recognize anyone, except for when she occasionally became lucid.
Yun Ge had a smile on her lips; she was quite looking forward to it. She truly wanted to see, when this person regains clarity and recalls the mad and foolish things she did all these years, what kind of expression would she have?
