Chapter 249 Get Well Soon
Princess Xuan shook her head gently, her eyes full of regret: "How can I not blame myself? I was the one who harmed him. He must hate me to the core, so he doesn't want to see me, and he doesn't even want to look at me."
"Your Highness is now the princess, so let the past go with the wind. There are many eyes and ears in the palace, so you must not lose your composure like this again, lest you give others excuses and cause trouble."
Princess Xuan forced a bitter smile, suppressing the turmoil in her heart: "I was confused. He has a bright future in the government, and it is the honor he deserves. Let the past be completely in the past."
From the moment she stepped into the palace, she understood that all her dreams and hopes had to be buried deep in her heart.
Seeing him achieve his wish and embark on a career in politics with his extraordinary talent, what else could she be dissatisfied about except being proud of him?

The next day, the sun was shining all over the earth, and the owner of Zhangji Embroidery Shop came to visit again with full sincerity.
"Please accept this little gift, thank you for saving my son's life!"
Cui Rongrong smiled slightly, accepted the gift generously, and said softly: "It's just a small favor, Boss Zhang is too polite."
"Then I'll go see my son first."
"Please feel free to do so."
Boss Zhang walked lightly into Li Jingzhao's room. After the door closed gently, he whispered respectfully, "Your Highness."
Li Jingzhao leaned on the pillow. Although his body looked weak, his tone was chilly and could not be ignored. "How is it?"
"I have already checked. Jinshangtang is indeed an ordinary pharmacy. Doctor Bai has superb medical skills, but... she seems to have some connection with the Xie family."
Li Jingzhao raised his eyes slightly, with a flash of surprise in his eyes: "Xie family?"
"Yes, it is the Xie family, the most prestigious family of the Western Zhou Dynasty. She is a distant relative of the Xie family and has lived in the Xie mansion for a year."
Li Jingzhao looked indifferent, as if he didn't care: "They are just distant relatives, not worth mentioning."
In fact, such kinship has nothing to do with the core interests and influence of the Xie family.
Shopkeeper Zhang lowered his voice, with a hint of mystery in his tone: "But I heard privately that she seems to have some unclear relationship with Xie family's eldest son Song Yanyi. Of course, these are just rumors, and the specific situation is still unclear."
Li Jingzhao's eyes changed slightly: "You mean, Song Yanyi?"
"That's him."
The corners of his mouth curled up into a meaningful smile: "It turned out to be Song Yanyi."
"Your Highness, in my humble opinion, it is better for you to return to the embroidery shop to continue recuperating. Since this Miss Bai is involved with Song Yanyi, it may not be safe for Your Highness to stay here. The Prince of Jin has learned that you are in Kyoto and is willing to arrange for you to enter the palace secretly for recuperation."
"No need. Please reply to King Jin for me and tell him not to leak the news that I am coming to Yanjing. I have important matters to deal with personally."
"This……"
Shopkeeper Zhang looked hesitant but did not dare to disobey.
As the spy planted by the Prince of Beiliang in the Western Zhou Dynasty, his loyalty is self-evident.
Not long after Manager Zhang left, Cui Rongrong walked into the room carrying a cup of hot medicine.
"Miss Bai."
Li Jingzhao tried hard to force a smile, trying to lighten the heaviness in the atmosphere.
Cui Rong gently placed the medicine bowl on the bedside, carefully checked the recovery of his wound, and then gently touched his forehead with the back of her finger to test her body temperature: "The fever has subsided, and you have survived the most dangerous period. I will let Shitou help you change the medicine later."
Li Jingzhao looked up and their eyes met in the air.
At that moment, he seemed to see again the pair of eyes that he met on the edge of his blurred consciousness when he was unconscious, clear and calm, like water in a deep well.
He had also heard some of the various legends about Song Yanyi in Beiliang.
On the surface, the man seemed upright and self-reliant, but in fact, he was tough and his actions were flawless. He had far-reaching strategies and was able to successfully solve a major salt tax case involving many high-ranking officials and severely damage the power of King Jin. This was enough to show his extraordinary ability.
If a woman has a clear relationship with such a person, she must be an extraordinary person.
Li Jingzhao's scrutiny did not make Cui Rong feel uncomfortable. Instead, she held her head high and looked back at him without avoiding. There was no evasion in his eyes, only honesty and a hint of apology: "Thank you for your hard work, girl."
"You are a patient, how can you be in trouble?"
Cui Rongrong's words were as warm as spring, as if they could melt all the ice.
"As a woman, she has such superb medical skills and can run such a large and well-organized shop on her own. She is really as good as a man. It is really admirable."
There was sincere admiration in the speaker's eyes, and there was a hint of wonder in his tone.
Cui Rongrong smiled gently, and that smile was like a spring breeze, gentle and indifferent, "There is nothing to boast about. I just followed the will of my ancestors and inherited the exquisite medical skills and this small world. Everything is just going with the flow."
"Even so, it is still very precious. Although my family has a legacy left by our ancestors, my father always believed that I could not shoulder this heavy responsibility. He repeatedly tested me and never really trusted me."
There was a hint of regret in the man's words, but his eyes were shining with a desire for freedom and to prove himself.
"From your accent, I can tell you're not from the capital. May I ask where you're from?"
Cui Rongrong asked curiously, her voice as clear as a spring.
"I come from the distant Cangzhou, a border area. I am used to traveling and often travel along the trade routes between Beiliang and Xizhou, selling goods for a small profit."
A hint of nostalgia emerged on the man's face, as if every memory was accompanied by the dust of a long journey.
Cui Rongrong's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this. "The journey from Beiliang to the capital is long and windy, and you are traveling for business?"
"That's right. We came from Beiliang this time, carrying a lot of rare goods. Unfortunately, we encountered misfortune on the way, and all our efforts were gone overnight."
Li Jingzhao's expression became gloomy when talking about this, and his eyes were full of worry and helplessness about the future.
"As a human being, the most precious thing is life. Gold, silver and treasures can all be regained. It is a great fortune that you can escape from this predicament. There will definitely be a turning point in the future."
Cui Rongrong's tone was gentle, and every word she spoke was precious, as if it could heal the wounds in people's hearts.
Li Jingzhao looked at her, a smile gradually formed on his lips, that smile contained gratitude and warmth, "Yes, it is a great blessing in life to escape from death and meet such a gentle and skilled girl here. Thank you for your good wishes."
Cui Rongrong responded with a brilliant smile and said softly, "Then please take this medicine first, sir. I hope it will help you recover soon."
After saying this, she stood up gracefully, turned around and left, leaving behind a warm figure in the room.
Li Jingzhao watched her leave, his gaze gradually becoming far-reaching, with complex emotions surging in his heart, including thoughts about the unknown fate and beautiful memories of this encounter.

In the Xie Mansion, where prosperity and power struggles intertwined, Song Yanyi had just stepped into the mansion when the housekeeper Qing'an had been waiting for a long time. He said anxiously: "Master, the master ordered you to go directly to the study to meet him as soon as you come back."
