318 Leaving the Princess Mansion
At that mont, Wei Shulan’s hand accidentally touched sothing, and she suddenly rembered, "AH, that’s right, the waist token."
With that, she took out a waist token from her bosom, "This was given to by Zhao Zhitong before she entered the Capital City, saying that it can grant access to General Feng’s Mansion. If she ever encountered an unforeseen situation in the Princess Mansion, she told to go to the General’s Mansion."
Wei Zijian and Zhao Yu both stood up at the sa ti.
"What are we waiting for? Let’s go!"
Hence, the three of them hurriedly rushed to the General’s Mansion.
Upon seeing the waist token in Wei Shulan’s hand, the gatekeeper of the General’s Mansion went in to report. At that ti, General Feng was training his grandsons in the training field.
Each of the grandsons was as quiet as a cicada, not daring to make a sound.
Just then, the gatekeeper suddenly arrived to report that a young lady holding a Feng Mansion waist token had co to the door, requesting to see General Feng.
Upon hearing this, General Feng rejoiced at once, "AH, this girl finally rembered this old man after being in the Capital City for so long. HAHA."
After his laughter, he said to his grandsons, "You can keep practicing by yourselves, and I will check on you later."
After saying that, he left cheerfully.
Upon seeing their grandfather leave, General Feng’s grandsons felt instantly relieved. They were imnsely grateful for the young girl their grandfather had ntioned, considering her their great benefactor.
At the sa ti, they were also curious about who could make their grandfather laugh so happily and even go to greet them personally at the gate.
However, when General Feng arrived at the front gate in high spirits, he did not see Zhao Zhitong but instead found three unfamiliar faces.
Wei Shulan hurriedly explained the situation, "General Feng, I am a friend of Zhao Zhitong. Before she entered the Capital City, she left the waist token with and told to co to you if she was in danger."
"General Feng, please save Tongtong."
"Danger?" Feng Wuji was taken aback, "What happened to that girl?"
Following this, the three of them briefly summarized how Zhao Zhitong was forcibly taken into the Princess Mansion to treat the Princess and eventually got apprehended.
General Feng nodded to show he understood, thought for a mont, and then said, "Alright, I’ll go with you."
Thus, under the guidance of Wei Shulan, Wei Zijian, and Zhao Yu, General Feng and his companions arrived at the Princess Mansion.
Just as they reached the entrance of the Princess Mansion, they encountered Zhuo An, who was rushing out.
Upon seeing Zhao Zhitong’s disciple standing beside General Feng, Zhuo An was taken aback.
At this mont, Wei Zijian was already pointing at him and shouting, "It’s him! He’s jealous of my master! He must be the one who frad her!"
Zhuo An imdiately flew into a rage, "What nonsense are you spouting? , jealous of a little girl still wet behind the ears? What a joke!"
Then, he bowed to General Feng and asked, "General Feng, what brings Your Excellency to the Princess Mansion?"
Feng Wuji glanced at Zhuo An with disgust and snorted coldly, "You petty clown! I’m warning you today, don’t be too arrogant, or you’ll strain your back when you walk!"
He despised people like Zhuo An, who rose through the ranks by fawning over the emperor with flattery and sycophancy. He never gave Zhuo An a pleasant look whenever they t.
Zhuo An scoffed dismissively, muttered "old fool" under his breath, and then turned to leave.
By now, the bodyguards at the door had returned from delivering the ssage, "General Feng, the princess invites you in."
Only then did General Feng and the others follow the bodyguards into the Princess Mansion.
When they finally saw the princess and Zhao Zhitong, they had expected to see Zhao Zhitong tied up by the princess, and the princess herself in a towering rage.
But, unexpectedly, what they saw was Zhao Zhitong, already safe and sound.
「——」
With the misunderstanding resolved and seeing that Zhao Zhitong was safe, General Feng spoke a few words to her, told her she could visit the General’s Mansion often to play, and then bid farewell to the princess and departed.
After everyone had left, the princess gently expressed her apologies to Zhao Zhitong.
As soon as the one-month period passed and the Princess’s condition improved, Zhao Zhitong, without further ado, prepared to leave. Before departing, she left behind a bottle of vitamins and a al plan she had prepared.
"Princess, these are vitamins, and this is a al plan. Continue to nurse the Princess back to health according to this, and she will be fine."
The princess and the imperial son-in-law were extrely grateful and thanked her profusely.
Princess Anping said, "Divine Healer Zhao, please don’t leave yet. The Princess Mansion is hosting a thank-you banquet, and we want to properly express our gratitude for your life-saving help."
"A thank-you banquet isn’t necessary," Zhao Zhitong politely declined. "I don’t particularly enjoy such occasions."
With that said, she called out to Wei Zijian, who was engrossed in a lively chat with a young maid attending the Princess, "Let’s go."
Wei Zijian quickly replied, "AH, coming, Master."
Before leaving, he didn’t forget to instruct the young maid, "Get so dicine according to the prescription I gave you. If you don’t trust , you can ask my master to check your pulse."
The young maid’s face turned slightly red as she said shyly, "MM-HMM, I understand. Thank you, Young Master Wei."
With that, she turned and scurried away.
Seeing the young maid run off, Wei Zijian turned and hurried after Zhao Zhitong.
Zhao Zhitong looked at the happily smiling Wei Zijian and couldn’t help but tease, "While I’m here working myself to the bone, you’re busy flirting? Out with it, how did you charm her?"
Wei Zijian exclaid, "AH, Master, it wasn’t like that at all!"
Zhao Zhitong found Wei Zijian’s cloying deanor unsettling; her skin crawled. "HEY, cut it out. Act normal."
"OH," Wei Zijian dropped his fawning expression and said aggrievedly, "Master, I wasn’t flirting with any girl. I was treating her illness."
Zhao Zhitong raised an eyebrow. "You can treat people now?"
A hint of pride showed on Wei Zijian’s face. "Of course! Just see who my master is. The mont I saw that girl, I could tell her nstrual cycle was irregular."
Zhao Zhitong was speechless. "Well, this..."
"So, you just told her that directly?"
Wei Zijian, still proud, said, "Naturally! I told her straight out and also advised her to regulate it properly, otherwise it would affect her ability to have children in the future. I even gave her a prescription to warm her ridians and regulate her nses."
Zhao Zhitong: "..."
No wonder the young maid blushed and ran away in embarrassnt. So, that embarrassnt wasn’t this kind of embarrassnt!
Wei Zijian looked at Zhao Zhitong, who seed at a loss for words, and asked with confusion, "What’s wrong, Master? Did I do sothing wrong?"
Then, sothing suddenly occurred to him. "AH! I know what I did wrong. I forgot to collect the consultation fee!"
Zhao Zhitong sighed helplessly, affecting a mature air. "SIGH, it seems I’ve misjudged you."
"HUH?" Wei Zijian was bewildered. "Misjudged about what?"
Zhao Zhitong shook her head. "I misjudged your intelligence."
With his level of intelligence, charming girls? He’d have better luck charming socks.
Looking at the puzzled Wei Zijian, Zhao Zhitong shook her head and sighed again. No wonder Uncle Wei is so worried. However, as the saying goes, ’Fools have their own luck.’ Being cheerful all day isn’t so bad.
She then waved her hand. "Don’t dwell on it. I was actually praising you. Let’s go, quickly now."
"OH, okay!"
Hearing that it was praise, Wei Zijian indeed perked up and trotted off happily.
The two of them left the Princess Mansion smoothly and t Wei Shulan and Zhao Yu, who had co to et her.
Wei Shulan jogged over and grabbed Zhao Zhitong’s hand. "AH, you’re finally out! You ca to the Capital City for a month and ended up being confined for a whole month."
"Let’s go, let’s go! Qiao Muchen and Zhao Yue are coming out from the examination hall today. Let’s all have so proper fun in the Capital City together."
