Chapter 142

But when he looked down, he saw Chen Ning's shadow on the ground. He couldn't help scolding himself for being a coward.

In broad daylight, how could there be a ghost that dared to come out and cause trouble!

His courage suddenly increased as he looked at Chen Ning with a suspicious gaze. Then he bowed to Chen Ning in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

"Princess Consort, this servant is surnamed Xu and is the palace's housekeeper. I have come under his highness' orders to visit the princess consort."

He first asked a probing question, but then he asked with a bit of uncertainty, "This servant has heard that the princess consort is seriously ill. Are you really the princess consort?"

How could he recover from his illness in just one night?

Could it be that she had eaten some miraculous medicine?

Chen Ning's eyes swept over him and saw the doubt in his eyes. Then she softly said, "That's right, this princess was indeed sick. Moreover, it wasn't light at all, I almost died. Speaking of which, this princess being able to be cured in one night is all thanks to his highness' grace. "

"His ….. His highness' grace?" Housekeeper Xu's heart was even more confused.

Did he not understand his highness' thoughts?

His highness wanted the princess in front of him to die as soon as possible, so why would he give her any grace?

"That's right, this princess was so sick that she only had a single breath left. Thanks to his highness' grace, this princess was sent to this quiet place. It seems like Housekeeper Xu also contributed to this matter, right?" Chen Ning curled her lips and her voice was filled with sarcasm.

Housekeeper Xu's face turned red as he lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.

"But this princess is blessed by the heavens, gaining a blessing in disguise. Who would have thought that in this small wooden hut, there would be an elixir that could cure this princess?" Chen Ning said with a faint smile.

"Elixir? What elixir? "Housekeeper Xu couldn't help looking at the wooden hut behind Chen Ning.

"What, does Housekeeper Xu want to know?" Chen Ning raised her brows and pointed at the yard to the side, "There are some sweet potatoes in that field. None of you sent us food, so my maid dug some sweet potatoes to eat, but who would have thought that these sweet potatoes would be a good medicine. When this princess woke up tonight, I felt much better, so I ate some sweet potatoes and became even more spirited. Then I pulled my maid over to play shuttlecock. Speaking of this, isn't this a blessing in disguise?" After saying this, she slightly pursed her lips and revealed a smile.

Housekeeper Xu and the people behind him all had their mouths open in shock. Their faces were filled with disbelief.

Eating sweet potatoes could cure illnesses?

This was the first time they had heard of this.

But seeing Ning Ning's expression, they could tell that she didn't mean it.

"Then this servant really wants to congratulate the Princess Consort. When his highness finds out that the Princess Consort has recovered, he will definitely be very happy." Housekeeper Xu said this in a dry voice, as if he wasn't being sincere.

Chen Ning smiled and was too lazy to expose his lie. She softly said, "One doesn't come to a temple for no reason. Housekeeper Xu has come to this small wooden hut, is there something you need from this princess? If you want to dig away the sweet potatoes in this field, this princess will not agree. "

"Princess Consort is joking. These sweet potatoes can cure the princess' illness, so this servant does not dare touch them." Housekeeper Xu's face was filled with awkwardness as he thought about what to say.

"That's good. If you have something to say, then say it." Chen Ning impatiently looked up.

Housekeeper Xu's eyes darted around, and he suddenly had an idea.
