Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Chapter 145 Cooperation with the 5 Princesses

When the sun was at its brightest, Zhao Junning entered the palace gate and was led by a maid to the palace where Xiao Yule was. The maid Lv'e entered the inner room and reported to Xiao Yule, who was tinkering with herbs: "Princess, Li Shilang's wife Zhao Junning is here to see you." Hearing that the visitor was Zhao Junning, Xiao Yule stopped what she was doing and ordered: "Bring her in."

After a while, Xiao Yule came to the front hall and saw Zhao Junning who had already walked to the front of the hall. Zhao Junning hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess." Xiao Yule hurriedly reached out to help her up and said with a smile, "No need to be so polite. There are not so many rules here. Please take a seat quickly." After the two of them sat down, Lu'e poured Zhao Junning a cup of hot tea and then stood silently by the side.

Before they exchanged a few pleasantries, Xiao Yule asked directly, "Are you here for Li Ziyan's matter?"

Zhao Junning did not intend to hide anything and responded frankly: "It is Your Highness the Princess. I hope to cooperate with you and work together to find a way to wake Your Majesty. Only when Your Majesty wakes up can Zi Yan be cleared of the charge of treason!"

Xiao Yule took a sip of tea, looked at Zhao Junning with a smile, and said slowly: "You should taste this tea first, it tastes very good." Zhao Junning picked up the teacup and drank it.

"Why do you think I will agree to you?" Xiao Yule stared at the other party and asked.

Zhao Junning was unusually calm. She responded calmly, "Because in my impression, you always value friendship. Moreover, you were raised by your majesty, so you naturally hope that your majesty can wake up more than anyone else. Otherwise, why would you devote yourself to researching the method of making medicine again and again?"

Xiao Yule stared into Zhao Junning's eyes, and was shocked. This teenage girl in front of him exuded such an amazing aura, as if she had experienced many hardships and was mature and resolute. Even when facing powerful forces, she was not afraid.

This powerful aura actually comes from Zhao Junning's own characteristics. First, she is extremely intelligent and knows how to grasp other people's psychology, especially her female opponents. Second, she is not afraid of power. After all, in her previous life, she was born into a royal family with absolute power and has long been accustomed to such an environment and atmosphere. With such experience, how can she be afraid?

"Zhao Junning, how dare you be so bold as to speculate on the thoughts of a member of the royal family. This is by no means a wise move." There was a hint of threat in Xiao Yule's tone.

Zhao Junning's face was as gloomy as water, but his heart was as firm as a rock. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said softly: "However, what I guess is what you think in your heart, Fifth Princess, and you don't seem to hide it, right?"

Xiao Yule couldn't help but frowned slightly when she heard this, and sneered unconsciously. She stared at Zhao Junning sharply, and responded in a serious tone: "Zhao Junning, you are quite interesting. Yes, just as you said, this princess is indeed working hard to study the prescription that can wake up my father.

You know, my father has always been in good health, how could he fall into a coma for no reason? It is not a good idea for my brother to take over the government affairs now. I don't want to see the Xiao family fall apart because of this. Besides, my father has loved me since I was a child. As a child, who doesn't hope that their father can be healthy and live a long life? "Xiao Yule said it sincerely, and his words were full of sincerity.

Then, she turned her gaze to Zhao Junning, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and asked, "Just now I heard you mention cooperation. Could it be that you also know medicine?"

Zhao Junning nodded in affirmation. She said slowly: "I know a little bit. In fact, the princess and I are from the same school. Two years ago, the Herbal Medicine Fairy saved my mother's life and taught me the art of medicine. I am confident that I can wake up your majesty." After that, Zhao Junning took out an old medical book from her bosom and handed it to Xiao Yule.

Xiao Yule took the medical book and flipped through it carefully. A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he murmured in a low voice: "Sure enough, it is really the handwriting of Master..."

She looked at Zhao Junning in astonishment, her voice trembling slightly: "Now, Princess, are you willing to work with me? You are wholeheartedly for your father, and I am just out of my own selfish desires, just hoping to keep the person in my heart safe and sound." Xiao Yule knew what Zhao Junning was thinking, so she responded without hesitation: "Okay..."

At this moment, a palace maid came hurriedly and knelt down to report: "Princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" Hearing this, Xiao Yule couldn't help but show a look of surprise and looked at Zhao Junning.

Zhao Junning made a prompt decision and turned to Lv'e beside him and ordered: "Take Junning to the bathing room in the back hall to rest. There are nourishing medicinal foods there. She has weak blood and qi, and she might feel better if she smells the fragrance of the medicine." After that, Lv'e supported Zhao Junning and walked towards the back hall.
