Chapter 64: Rumors and the emperor’s anger

Lin Chujiu know that Xiao Tianyao doesn't have much time left to treat his legs and she also know that Xiao Tianyao is not good to women. So, she really doesn't mind him marrying a concubine. Not to mention, Xiao Tianyao was only forced to take that woman as his concubine for his legs treatment.

Besides, if Xiao Tianyao really wants to experience how noble "true love" is. She cannot help him with that matter, nor her heart could. Because she would rather think of ways on how to make the Chinese medicine taste better than to experience such things.

Other people could get used easily with the bitter taste of Chinese medicine, once they had to drink it for several times, but not Lin Chujiu. No matter how many times she drinks, the taste is still same for her so she still felt very uncomfortable.

Don't get her wrong, Lin Chujiu is not a spoiled person. But, it won't hurt to try solving the bitter taste of it, right?

However, rumors about Lin Chujiu trying to solve the bitter taste of Chinese medicine started spreading inside the whole Wangfu. And even Xiao Tianyao got disturbed from it. So, he asked an old maidservant to make a bottle of pickled plum and sent it to her to suppress the bitter taste.

"Xiao Tianyao sent this? What is the meaning of this?" After receiving the pickled plum that Xiao Tianyao specially sent, Lin Chujiu doesn't know whether she would feel happy or uneasy. But of course, she cannot say such things to others and can only bury such thought inside her heart and ponder alone.

Not to mention, Lin Chujiu found out that the pickled plum that Xiao Tianyao had sent works really well. After adding them to the bowl of medicine, she can finally drink it without any uncomfortable or urge to vomit.

Seeing Xiao Tianyao's concern, Zhenzhu and Feicui who doesn't know what is Lin Chujiu's actual thoughts couldn't help but feel happy and almost try to make fun of it: See, Wangye is really concern about Wangfei. He knows how much she suffers from drinking… …

Lin Chujiu try to smile from time to time and pretend to be shy while drinking her medicine. But, she cannot really take it to heart because she never falls in love and never got interested in the opposite sex. Just like how she doesn't know how far the Southeast from the Northwest.

Besides, Lin Chujiu know herself very well. She knows that she doesn't have the beauty that can overturn a country and a peerless talent that would make a man willing to die just to have her heart. So, why would someone like Xiao Tianyao fall in love with her? Do you think this is some kind of tv show?

Xiao Tianyao looking for plum fruit spread in the capital without their knowledge. Once the people heard that no matter what the price is, Prince Xiao is willing to buy plum fruits because Princess Xiao feels very uncomfortable. So, the people started sending plums to Xiao Wangfu. However, instead of selling the plums, they sent it as a gift. While the other people that live closer even tried to visit personally.

Lin Chujiu might have a noble identity, but she couldn't refuse to meet few people that had come to visit her. Unless she is an old lady of the palace or the Empress. But still, only a few noble people are allowed to meet with her. However… …

If she couldn't refuse, what more with Housekeeper Cao's identity. So, when three or more government official's wife had visited Lin Chujiu regardless what purpose they might have. Housekeeper Cao could only announce their arrival and introduced them.

After recuperating in bed for three days, Lin Chujiu sat in the hall of her courtyard to received all the guest that have come to visit her. However, no one from the Lin Family had even come, as if she didn't exist in that family in the first place.

After a few more days, there were still some noble ladies that had visited her even for only an hour. So, Lin Chujiu felt quite tired from it. But with such event, Lin Chujiu realized that in this capital, there were actually so many noble ladies that is more qualified to be Princess Xiao than her. So, it's not really easy to become Xiao Wangfu's Wangfei.

Detecting disease is inevitably hard to other people, so Lin Chujiu tried hard to give people the impression that she is a charming frail young lady.

Even though Lin Chujiu doesn't know what Xiao Tianyao's purpose in doing this, she always remembers her position as "Princess Xiao". Prince Xiao is not a filial younger brother to the Emperor and he doesn't care about the Emperor's face. So naturally, Lin Chujiu won't missed this chance to disgrace the Emperor's image.

Lin Chujiu just got back from the palace before she fell ill. So, Lin Chujiu only said a few words to hint that she felt wrong when she visited the palace and made it sounds like she fell ill because of that.

"Yes, when I came back from the palace, I fell sick."

"The Empress is really kind to me, so I guess she has nothing to do with it, right?"

"The doctor said that it's nothing serious. So I just need to rest for a few more days."

"It's not a disease, but I need to put much attention."

"Although it's not serious, I can feel my body is in a lot of pain."

*

Lin Chujiu only said those words, but because the people's imaginations are immeasurable. They tried giving birth to different kind of ideas. And so, in just a few days, rumors started spreading that Lin Chujiu was poisoned inside the palace.

The more the rumors spread, the more it gets dramatic. Some people even said that because Prince Xiao doesn't want his wife to be robbed by someone else, he's even willing to poison Lin Chujiu. So, other people started wondering who exactly the person that had poisoned her.

With the sudden escalation of the event, Xiao Tianyao himself doesn't know what to do. And it's not like he's keeping Lin Chujiu right under his bed for her not to notice anything. And so… …

"I feel like there's some conspiracy going on." Lin Chujiu said while lying in the bathtub and enjoying Zhenzhu and Feicui's service.

"Wangfei your just over thinking. Wangye only wants to show how much he cares for you." Feicui smiled and said. Hearing that Xiao Tianyao value Lin Chujiu so much, a few maidservants couldn't help but smile too.

"I hope so." Realizing her own mistake, Lin Chujiu no longer say anything and just let Feicui give her a massage.

However, inside the Imperial study room, the Emperor had slammed the table in anger because he had the same idea as Lin Chujiu: "Xiao Tianyao, what exactly do you want to do ah? Are you a fool to think that you could ruin my reputation by spreading such rumors?"

"Huangshang (Emperor), please try to calm down… …" The Emperor's personal eunuch immediately knelt down and said while creeping down his trembling body.

Any things that are related to Prince Xiao can easily make the Emperor angry.

"Calm down?"The Emperor said without any emotion. But each word sounds domineering, so the atmosphere inside the room turn particularly heavy. So, The Emperor's personal eunuch's body trembles even more and no longer tried to finish his words.

"Come," The Emperor swallowed his anger and said: "Bring this edict and order Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan to go to Xiao Wangfu immediately and check Princess Xiao's condition."

"Yes, this slave will immediately comply." When the Emperor's personal eunuch saw that the Emperor finally calm down, he immediately stood up and cupped his hands to bow, then try to say with full of flattery: "Huangshang is truly wise! With Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan's extraordinary medical skills, no matter what Princess Xiao's disease is, he could identify it."

"Hmph," The Emperor snorted: "It would be better if he could really identify that Princess Xiao is poisoned, or else… … I will never let go of him!"

After hearing the Emperor's words, the eunuch only accompanies the Emperor to laugh. But, didn't dare to say his thoughts.

Huangshang is underestimating Prince Xiao too much. Prince Xiao is a very ruthless person, he wouldn't start something that can easily be solved. So, how can Huangshang just pity Princess Xiao and ask Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan to check her condition? This time, Huangshang should not only take advantage of this situation but also reveal Prince Xiao's hidden intention.

After getting out from the imperial study room, the eunuch just sighs and then went to Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan immediately to give the Emperor's order. After hearing the Emperor's order, Imperial Doctor Qin Yuan went immediately to Xiao Wangfu even in the middle of the night. After all, he doesn't need to consider whether the Xiao Wangfu is ready for this or not… …
