Ran Yan also felt sorry for this precocious child, so she was willing to talk more with her, "See how happy he is playing? It will get better after so ti. I really don’t know the matters of life, death, and the flesh and bones. The na of Divine Doctor is just a nominal title."
Princess Jinyang shook her head, tears falling, "Even Ninth Brother has started dealing with politics like the other princes, Qingsong isn’t afraid of being alone, but Qingsong is terrified that Ninth Brother will beco like Crown Prince Brother in the future."
After all, Princess Jinyang was still a child, touched and saddened, she spoke no differently from an ordinary child.
Liu Qingsong couldn’t bear to see such a cute little girl like Princess Jinyang in tears, so he quickly consoled her, "Ninth Prince won’t beco like the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is so heartbroken because his beloved An Jin died, Ninth Prince loves to play with Your Highness, take good care of yourself, stay healthy, and then he won’t be heartbroken in future."
Princess Jinyang tilted her head and thought for a mont, she could feel her imperial brother was heartbroken even before An Jin had died, he was already unhappy, but it was the first ti he went mad in the Eastern Palace.
"You’re right, Qingsong will obediently take the dicine from now on," Princess Jinyang nodded.
Liu Qingsong smiled slyly, "Your Highness just let it slip! Were you not obedient in taking your dicine before?"
"No, no," Princess Jinyang quickly shook her head in denial, "The dicine from the Imperial Physician used to be too bitter, but Pharmacist Su’s dicine is quite tasty, one kind even tastes sweet."
Su Fu had spent a lot of effort on Princess Jinyang without any particular motive, just seeking so emotional solace. He was almost able to appear openly now, but for soone used to solitude, suddenly learning to interact with people was a challenging process, sothing Ran Yan understood deeply.
When she had just arrived in Great Tang, she also experienced the sa helplessness and confusion. Previously forcing herself to bury in work, suddenly not needing to perform autopsies, it took her a long ti to slowly adapt. Now with Xiao Song by her side, she gradually didn’t feel like a cold machine anymore. But Su Fu wasn’t as fortunate.
It was a good sign that he was willing to spend ti on Princess Jinyang now.
Ran Yan smiled slightly, "Your Highness, please let take your pulse."
"Sure." Princess Jinyang placed her delicate arm on the rolled-up cloth.
Ran Yan took her pulse for a while, and asked a female official about so matters.
"Your Highness has been very healthy lately, just take your dicine on ti, and be careful on a daily basis, and you won’t suffer from illnesses again," Ran Yan said.
Princess Jinyang looked up at Ran Yan, the light entering the palace from the side. The warm morning light fell on Ran Yan, who bore a gentle smile and carried a hint of a milky scent...
"Mother..." Princess Jinyang stretched out her little hand, grabbing Ran Yan’s sleeve, murmuring.
Ran Yan was montarily stunned, about to speak, when the female official behind Princess Jinyang burst her bubble, "Your Highness is being improper, this is Lady Xianliang."
Princess Jinyang’s face blushed slightly, retracted her hand, and said coyly, "Lady, your smile resembles a fairy. My mother also resembles a fairy."
Ran Yan looked at her slightly reddened lower eyelids and said warmly, "Qingsong’s mother must already be a fairy now."
To speak such words was truly disrespectful. The female official wanted to scold her but held back due to Ran Yan’s special status.
"Really?" Qingsong’s eyes brightened, "Chief Physician Liu said, fairies can help people fulfill their wishes. My mother, now a fairy, will definitely help fulfill my wishes, right?"
"Yes, Qingsong’s mother will definitely help Qingsong." Ran Yan affird.
"Then tonight I will tell my mother to help Crown Prince Brother cheer up sooner." Princess Jinyang’s eyes curved like a new moon, a light dimple smiling on her cheek, exceptionally adorable.
Princess Jinyang was precocious, but under the protection of Li Shimin, her mind was pure, understanding politics but not the human heart.
Thinking that Liu Qingsong had told tales of fairies, she knew how to make them listen, so she pulled him to ask questions all around.
Ran Yan, worried about her three little ones at ho, bid her farewell earlier. Princess Jinyang liked the maternal nature unconsciously exhibited by Ran Yan. Although it was hard for her to let Ran Yan leave, she understood the difference between rulers and servants and didn’t unreasonably insist on keeping her, arranging for a close female official to personally escort Ran Yan out of the palace.
Such a thoughtful and considerate child, lonely within the palace walls, truly soured one’s heart.
Ran Yan left the small east wing and passed through the courtyard where the noise had already ceased, and the ss was half covered by fluttering petals.
A gentle breeze rolled the petals down quietly.
Unwittingly, Ran Yan glanced towards Qingquan Pavilion.
There was a grave there, Li Chengqian standing close to the tombstone, his expression wooden, his entire being covered in petals and leaves, his hair and clothing disheveled. Nearby laid a wine jar, with two other jars from which wine gurgled out, disappearing into the thick pile of dead flowers and dried leaves.
Ran Yan knew the grave wouldn’t possibly contain An Jin’s body, as he had killed several officials and would inevitably have been mutilated posthumously.
"Do you know who sent Yun to after he was purified?"
Ran Yan was about to turn away but heard Li Chengqian’s hoarse voice. Seeing him look in her direction, she confird he was speaking to her, or maybe he was just talking to himself.
"It was Li Tai!" Li Chengqian, swaying, supported himself on the tombstone as he stood up and roared, "That hypocrite! He’s been pressing step by step! He succeeded! He ruined Yun, making live in pain every day, yet Father still favors him! No matter what he does, he can be forgiven! I can only tread cautiously, I hate it so much!"
His voice at the end of his shout was already hoarse, but Ran Yan could feel his anger even from a distance.
Ran Yan sighed, about to leave, when Li Chengqian shouted, "Stop!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to cast a recomndation ticket and a monthly ticket at Qidian(qidian). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
