The Cannon Fodder and Villain's Happy Ending

Chapter 293

This “Yan’s Miscellaneous Diseases” was written by Yan Zhao a famous physician of the previous dynasty. Although Yan Zhao was not as good as Hua Tuo from the Han dynasty or the famous physician Bian Que, he was still famous from the former dynasty for his medical practices and for helping people. The book says that this remedy has miraculous effects and has cured a lot of qi disease patients in the area.

Imperial Physician Zhang was silent with a subtle look on his face, of course, he could certainly see that Changning was interested in pleasing the empress.

Qin Jiu on the other hand watched with great interest, thinking: this third princess was really a ruthless person, even to herself! Admirable, really, she admires her!!!

Empress Wei stared deeply at Changning and sighed: “Changning, it’s really hard for you.”

“For the sake of the imperial mother’s body, this is what a daughter should do.” Changning said gently, with a look of admiration on her face.

Empress Wei looked at Changning’s bloody left wrist again and said, “Imperial Physician Zhang, you should give the third princess good medicine and bandage it so as to not leave a scar.”

Imperial Physician Zhang complied, saying that he would try his best, even knowing that the wound on Changning’s wrist would leave some scars.

He hurriedly ordered the medicine boy to fetch the medicine box, and applied the golden sore medicine on Changning’s wound, before carefully bandaging her wound to prevent it from getting wet. He also said that he would change the dressing on her wound in the morning.

Changning obediently responded, before she stood up and said to Empress Wei, “Imperial Mother, your phoenix body is still weak, so this daughter will not disturb your rest any longer.”

After curtsying again, Changning withdrew and her palace maid, Ling Xiang naturally followed Changning and leave.

Changning breathed a sigh of relief after she got out of Fengluan Palace, outside the gate she turned her head and looked at the majestic palace with a deep look in her eyes.

While looking at the palace, she subconsciously covers her left wrist as her gentle and weak face shows coldness.

“Your Highness, does your wound still hurt?” Ling Xiang asked distressedly, “If it really leaves a scar, it will be troublesome.”

Ling Xiang was really aggrieved for her mistress, although she has to say, after all, that was said and done, she was a little disappointed, if only her mistress was born in the empress’s womb, how could she scheme like this in such a young age!

“Don’t say it.” Changning said three words in a soft voice, but her gaze was stern and her expression determined.

She had to lose to gain something!

She was about to be sent for marriage, so what, if her wrist was injured a little?! That’s just a superficial wound.

Stroking her injured left wrist again through her sleeve, she murmured, “Cutting a little flesh to save imperial mother, surely imperial father and mother will always remember my filial piety.”

The marriage between the two countries was imperative, and Ye Luluan publicly raised the importance of marriage with Northern Yan, although for now, the emperor has no response yet, but Changning and concubine Xuan knew that the emperor would need to respond sooner or later.

So apart from this method, Changning really couldn’t think of any other way, she could only grit her teeth and give this a try.

People, after all, could only rely on themselves. If she just accepts her fate, who else could help her!

Ling Xiang also looked in the direction of Fengluan Palace, pursed her lips, and mumbled, “Your Highness, the medicine… the empress won’t drink it, right?”

“It wouldn’t matter.” Changning said indifferently.

Of course, she knew that Empress Wei would not take it, after all, how could an empress casually take things, but it didn’t matter whether the empress took the medicine or not. The important thing was that she sacrifice her flesh to save the imperial mother, in other words, it was her filial piety.

After returning, she should bath and fast for the empress again, and copy the Sutra of the Earth to pray for blessings.

When the empress recovers, next she would pray for her concubine mother, surely this would soon cause her to become seriously ill and she would stay that way… until the candidate for the marriage was set.

She didn’t believe that Northern Yan would be willing to take back a princess who was dying of illness.

And with this thought, there would definitely be a change of candidate by that time, and even though the empress dowager couldn’t bear to keep the second princess, wasn’t there still Yingluo?

“It’s your highness who is still considerate.” Ling Xiang complimented her admiringly although she still has a lingering fear.

A few days ago, Ling Xiang was terrified when she heard that Ye Luluan wanted to marry the third princess. She was the third princess’s personal maid, and if the third princess married to Ye Luluan, she would without a choice also accompany her mistress to her marriage in Northern Yan.

Fortunately, the third princess was extremely intelligent and does not just readily accept her fate.

“This is also the right time, the right place, and the right people.” Changning tilted her head and looked at the blossoming flowers on the branches as she said meaningfully.

It was her luck; it happens to be spring now…

Changning stroked her sleeve as her eyes turned cold for a little while before she said, “The matter of marriage… must be Qin Xin’s idea.”

As they all know, Qin Xin and Yingluo have always been good friends, in fact, they were as close as sisters. And now that the second prince was in charge of the peace talks between the two countries, Qin Xin, who always had a lot of ideas must have suggested this in order not to harm her own people.

As long as she could escape the marriage this time, she would not let Qin Xin go.

Another burst of burning pain came from her wrist, making Changning slightly wrinkle her delicate eyebrows.

Ling Xiang who was quietly observing from the side said. “Your highness, you should go back to rest earlier.”

Even without asking, You Bai knows what would happen to this bowl of soup.
