Why is she in such a hurry to enter the palace and connect with the Imperial Court?
She could also take a roundabout way, like targeting so ministers in the court or those imperial relatives related to the Royal Family.
"Really, how stupid!"
Even though her eyes had long turned cloudy due to old age, they now shone with dazzling brilliance.
As her bodily functions declined, it was probably due to the burdens of her aged body.
Dong Huiying found her mind becoming less sharp, and her mory was also deteriorating.
After finishing her tofu pudding and paying the bill, she started wandering the streets with Su Lang, unobtrusively gathering intelligence.
For example, whether any ministers in the Imperial Court were ill, or whether anyone was suffering from chronic ailnts, and so on.
Her dical skills remained; she could completely use this as her stepping stone.
Eventually, after making inquiries, she found herself back to the topic of Prince ng.
It was said that Prince ng had beco increasingly irritable in recent years, often frustrated and unable to sleep through the night.
The Prince had consulted many doctors, but unfortunately, those doctors, whether imperial physicians or folk doctors, were helpless against the Prince’s condition.
Dong Huiying pondered for a mont and then made up her mind.
She led Su Lang to Prince ng Mansion.
The Royal Family mbers had been competing for years. The Royal Princes had always been low-profile, but she knew quite a few Princesses, like Lao Ba, Lao Qi, Lao Jiu, and Xiao Shiyi...
Prince ng ranked sixth, Lao Liu.
As for Princes, she only knew Fengsu.
Wasn’t it said that Dayuan had more males than females? But in the Royal Family, it seed there were more females and fewer males?
On the way to the mansion, she let her thoughts run wild. Upon arriving at the mansion, she looked at the imposing and grand threshold and glanced at the heavy vermillion gates outside, guarded by two stone lions to ward off evil. Above the plaque hung a Tai Chi Fish Mirror.
"Sir, this Common Person is from the North Land. I heard the Prince is plagued by chronic ailnts, so I ca to visit."
Dong Huiying’s voice was hoarse. The guard at the mansion gate did not think highly of her, mainly due to her shabby attire. In this world, people often judge by appearances, but they did not overly trouble Dong Huiying.
The main reason was due to the social climate; Prince ng’s solicitation was no secret. There were quite a few who ca to the mansion to con their way into als and drinks. After all, with a princely title, as long as one could keep the Prince entertained, they wouldn’t need to worry about living expenses.
In short, both parties were willing participants. As long as they could provide entertainnt for the Prince, what did it matter if they were a useless person? Keeping them at the mansion wouldn’t cost much.
"Wait!" The guard glanced at Dong Huiying, then went to report. A short while later, a servant from the mansion ca to greet them, "Please, follow this way."
Dong Huiying pulled Su Lang into Prince ng Mansion. The mansion was indeed grand. Along the way, she saw many n wearing makeup. These n seed to be Prince ng’s male companions?
It really captured elegance and charm, each with unique beauty and various types: enchanting, lovely, pure, heroic, and so on.
Dong Huiying was led to a side courtyard—a large courtyard infused with a strong scent of dicine as soon as she stepped in.
"Please stay here for now. Once Butler Xu finishes his tasks, he will arrange for you. However, your dical skills will need to be tested."
The servant turned around cautiously and respectfully summoned an elderly woman.
