ASTRP -Chapter 93 The Prince Wants to Buy Delicious Food for Feng Jingge

She blankly lifted her head and looked toward Feng Jingge. The moment she looked up, she saw the Regent Prince glancing in their direction.

Her heart tightened. The woman in the green dress hurriedly lowered her head and grabbed the arm of the woman in the lotus-colored dress.

Lowering her voice, she said anxiously, “The Prince is looking at us. Hurry, let’s go!”

The woman in lotus-colored clothes quickly glanced over and confirmed that the Regent Prince was indeed looking this way.

Her heart trembled. Pressing her red lips together tightly, she allowed herself to be dragged away by the woman in green.

Feng Jingge sensed someone staring at her continuously, so she followed the direction of the gaze.

She saw the two young women. One of them, the girl in green, immediately lowered her head the moment Feng Jingge looked over and hurriedly pulled the other girl away.

“Hm?”

Feng Jingge’s brows lifted slightly as she secretly thought that having such a handsome face really was dazzling.

No matter where one went, there would always be girls secretly admiring them.

Just as she was thinking this, a candied hawthorn vendor carrying a pole of tanghulu entered her sight.

Her eyes instantly lit up. She stopped walking and even swallowed unconsciously.

Xiao Jinghan also stopped and turned around. Seeing Feng Jingge staring fixedly at the candied hawthorns, he asked,

“Should we buy a few sticks of tanghulu for the young prince?”

The moment he spoke, before Feng Jingge could answer, Qing Shan had already eagerly run off to buy them.

He soon returned with two sticks, smiling brightly, hoping to earn praise from Xiao Jinghan.

However, when Xiao Jinghan saw the tanghulu, not only did he fail to look pleased—his expression became even gloomier than before.

Qing Shan was dumbfounded. He looked toward Feng Jingge.

“Your Highness, wasn’t it you who wanted to buy tanghulu for the young prince?”

Feng Jingge: “…”

Clearly she was the one who wanted to eat it, okay?!

This Qing Shan really had no sense at all!

Xiao Jinghan shot Qing Shan an icy glance.

Qing Shan felt utterly wronged. The Prince was the one who told him to buy hawthorn sticks, and now that he had bought them, why was the Prince even angrier?

Ning An, who had been observing the entire scene from the side, sneered inwardly.

Miss Feng wanted to eat tanghulu but was too embarrassed to say it.

The Prince had seen through her thoughts and intentionally used buying tanghulu for the young prince as an excuse so he could naturally buy one for Feng Jingge too.

But then…

Qing Shan had only bought two sticks back.

How could the Prince not be angry?

Xiao Jinghan took the tanghulu from Qing Shan and handed it to Feng Jingge.

The hawthorns coated in syrup glistened beautifully, each one shiny and tempting.

Just looking at them made one crave a bite.

The familiar sweet-and-sour scent of hawthorn made saliva spread through Feng Jingge’s mouth.

She wanted to eat it.

She really wanted to take it.

But then she remembered—she was currently in the body of a tall, six-foot-two man with a cold face and an icy aura all around him.

A classic aloof male god type.

Yet…

An aloof male god eating candied hawthorn like a little child…

Would there still be any dignity left?

She didn’t even dare imagine that scene.

So…she refused.

She decided she would secretly buy one to eat later when no one was around.

“You should keep it yourself. No need to give it to me.”

Xiao Jinghan understood the meaning behind her words and withdrew his hand.

Afterward, they went to Zhang Ji and bought pastries that Prince Chen and Princess Chen liked to eat.

They also bought several bolts of fabric, selected some cosmetics and powders, and purchased small toys the two young princes would enjoy.

Feng Jingge still wanted to buy more, but Xiao Jinghan suddenly grabbed her wrist.

She turned to him in confusion.

Xiao Jinghan said, “Look at Qing Shan and Ning An.”

Feng Jingge looked over and saw that both Ning An and Qing Shan were already carrying huge piles of items, with no room left for anything else.

Feng Jingge pouted, but obediently gave up on buying more.

Instead, she asked, “Which way now?”

“Follow me.”

Xiao Jinghan led the way ahead. After crossing two long streets, the four of them stopped in front of Prince Chen’s residence.

When the gatekeepers saw them, one stepped forward to welcome them while another hurried off to notify the steward.

The steward rushed over and immediately lifted his robe before kneeling down.

“This old servant greets Your Highness and Miss Feng.”

Feng Jingge coldly uttered a single word.

“Rise.”

The steward stood up and quickly led the way.

As they approached Prince Chen’s room, waves of coughing could be heard from inside.

The coughing came one after another without pause.

Even when it stopped briefly, another violent fit would begin again moments later.

Feng Jingge halted her steps.

“Is that Prince Chen coughing?”

The steward stopped and turned around.

His eyes reddened as he nodded chokingly.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Xiao Jinghan’s expression darkened.

“When did this start?”

The steward respectfully answered, “Replying to Miss Feng, ever since the fire that day, His Highness felt that something was wrong with his body.”

“At first, His Highness didn’t pay much attention to it and didn’t take it seriously. Later, when the illness worsened, he invited a physician to examine him.”

“At first the physician said it was just an ordinary cold and prescribed several medicines.”

“But the medicine had no effect at all.”

“When the physician was summoned again, he claimed that His Highness had been poisoned and prescribed new medicine.”

“After taking the antidote, His Highness’s condition improved somewhat—”

Suddenly, Princess Chen’s scream erupted from inside the room.

“Xiao Yan!”

Something had happened!

Everyone’s expressions changed instantly.

Feng Jingge and Xiao Jinghan moved at the same time.

Bang!

Xiao Jinghan kicked the door open with one strike.

Inside the room, Princess Chen was holding Prince Chen tightly, crying out in heartbreak.

“Someone! Hurry, someone!”

“Quickly, help!!”

“Xiao Yan! Xiao Yan! Don’t scare me…”

Feng Jingge and Xiao Jinghan both rushed to the bedside.

Prince Chen’s eyes were tightly shut. His face was ashen, his lips purple, and streaks of blood hung from the corners of his mouth.

Dark red blood stains dotted the bedding.

The moment Princess Chen saw Feng Jingge and the others, she hurriedly released Prince Chen and dropped to her knees before Feng Jingge.

Her voice trembled with sobs.

“Imperial Uncle! Imperial Uncle, please save Xiao Yan! Please save him!”

Feng Jingge placed a hand on Prince Chen’s pulse.

Her eyes turned cold, and her thin lips pressed into a tight line.

The poison had already sunk deep into his body. It was about to invade his internal organs!

If he wasn’t treated immediately, Prince Chen would probably…

Saving him wasn’t a problem for her.

But first, she had to get Princess Chen out of the room.

Feng Jingge glanced at Xiao Jinghan, silently mouthing:

I can cure him, but you need to get her out!

Xiao Jinghan understood instantly. Turning around, he said to the tearful Princess Chen kneeling on the ground, “I can treat him, but Princess Consort, you must avoid the room for now.”

Hearing that he could save him, Princess Chen’s eyes lit up.

“Okay! Okay!!”

Without a second thought, she repeatedly agreed and hurried out of the room.

Once the door closed, Xiao Jinghan was about to ask how she planned to treat him.

But when he turned back, he saw Feng Jingge reaching into her robes and pulling out a pink embroidered handkerchief.

After unfolding it—rows upon rows of silver needles of varying lengths appeared inside.

Xiao Jinghan’s eyes shifted slightly.

Seeing him staring at her, Feng Jingge could roughly guess what he was thinking.

But the situation was urgent.

There was no time for explanations!

She spoke directly, “What are you standing there for? Take off his clothes.”

Xiao Jinghan looked deeply at Feng Jingge before silently doing as instructed.

Soon, Prince Chen’s upper garments were removed.

Feng Jingge examined his body carefully before frowning.

“The poison is far too overbearing. If I don’t begin acupuncture immediately, the toxins will invade his internal organs completely.”

“When that happens, things will become truly troublesome.”
