My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 119 Stood Up

Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Stood Up

Ye Yunting warned her in a low voice beside her, "Be circumspect with your words and actions in the palace; do not become arrogant just because you know some medical skills."

Chu Nanli responded, voiceless, "Don’t worry."

Even if she was prone to causing trouble, she couldn’t match the trouble caused by the white lotus flower beside him, who had the audacity to poison the emperor’s favored concubine in order to frame her.

If it weren’t for Bai Wuheng, she might have been able to throttle that white lotus today.

Ye Yunting paused, then said, "Don’t delay too long; the carriage will be waiting for you at the entrance of the Imperial Palace."

Chu Nanli was taken aback and looked at him in surprise.

The sun rises in the west?

He was actually going to wait for her.

Chu Nanli initially did not want to ride back with him, but seeing Lin Fuying beside him, with her handkerchief nearly twisting out of shape, she immediately nodded her head.

"Fine, I hope the prince keeps his word."

Ye Yunting frowned, but he did not take Chu Nanli’s sarcastic tone to heart.

At that moment, the Jade Consort called out to Chu Nanli.

Chu Nanli immediately stood up and followed the Jade Consort and her entourage to her palace chambers.

Once they arrived at the Jade Consort’s sleeping quarters, the consort commanded her palace maids to bring Chu Nanli a variety of rewards, including priceless fabrics, millennia-old ginseng, and so on.

The Jade Consort’s palace was not short of such items, so Chu Nanli did not refuse and accepted them right away.

Little did she know, this act greatly endeared her to the Jade Consort.

"This fabric, have a tailor make clothes for you to wear. With your beauty, you will certainly look good in them. If you like the material, next time I will send you some more," the Jade Consort said warmly, holding Chu Nanli’s hand and smiling.

Chu Nanli could feel the sincerity in the other party’s gesture.

She reciprocated the kindness and said, "When I examined your pulse earlier, the poison from the Horsetail Grass has been completely cleared and will not affect your health. However, you are somewhat frail and suffer from coldness in your palace; you feel particularly unwell during your monthly cycle. If you trust me, I will prescribe a formula for you, and you can have someone fetch the herbs from the Imperial Medical Bureau."

The Jade Consort’s face lit up with joy, "Of course I trust you, this is most excellent."

The top scholar of the Hanlin Academy may lack in medical knowledge, but he had a keen eye.

To be acknowledged by Zhuang Muyan as his master, Chu Princess Consort’s medical skills must be deep, not merely having read some medical books as the War God and Bai Wuheng had said.

Chu Nanli felt the trust from the Jade Consort and was slightly touched, so she wrote an additional prescription.

"This one has more ingredients and the decocted medicine will be quite bitter, but the effect is better. The other one, the medicinal soup is slightly sweet, and the effect is somewhat lesser. Your Highness can choose between the formulas depending on the circumstance," she explained.

The Jade Consort was pleasantly surprised and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Princess Consort Chu is too thoughtful."

After chatting for a few more sentences, the Jade Consort brought up Ye Yunting.

"The War God has had little contact with women in the past, either studying inside the Imperial Palace or fighting on the battlefield. During his youth, the only girl by his side was the one from the Prime Minister Residence. Not seeing enough, his discernment is also weak. You are an intelligent and outstanding girl; given time, he will see your worth," the consort hinted subtly.

The Jade Consort’s words carried an underlying message, offering several veiled suggestions.

Chu Nanli maintained a smile on her face while responding, but she couldn’t help but sigh internally.

The Jade Consort probably thought her heart was still set on Ye Yunting and did not want her to be depressed within the War God Residence, trying to comfort her that she could "endure" and prevail.

However, all she wanted now was to leave the War God Residence and put a great distance between herself and Ye Yunting.

"It’s getting late, I shall not keep you any longer," said the Jade Consort.

Soon after, she arranged for eunuchs and palace maids to carry the gifts and escort Chu Nanli to the entrance of the Imperial Palace.

However, upon arrival, the entrance of the Imperial Palace was deserted, with no carriage in sight.

A guard approached and said, "Princess Consort Chu, the War God asked me to inform you that Concubine Lin was feeling unwell so he returned to the residence first with his people. Please wait here for a moment, the palace has arranged a carriage to take you."

The eunuchs and palace maids from the Jade Consort’s palace looked at each other, cautiously glancing at Chu Nanli.

Chu Nanli was close to laughing out of exasperation.

He had volunteered to wait for her, and now he stood her up, not sparing any embarrassment.

"Thank you," she replied coolly.

Chu Nanli cursed Ye Yunting eight hundred times in her heart.
