Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 52: Is she worthy of being the Crown Princess?

Before, the queen disdained to talk to An Yu and even refused to look at her.

Now that An Yu has gone to Dongshan, the Queen is willing to give An Yu the position of concubine, which shows that the Queen has changed her mind about An Yu.

Ji Chengting was full of ambition and suddenly felt that the road ahead was bright.

If she makes another effort, the position of Crown Princess may really fall into An Yu's hands.

"Ahem, I've been feeling a little stuffy in my chest these past two days. Butler, go ask someone to make some tea to clear my lungs."

"Hey, good."

……

In the evening, the butler came to Chaoyang Courtyard and told the prince that he would meet with him tomorrow.

See you again?

Ji Anyu frowned slightly and was about to say that he was not feeling well and was afraid of being disrespectful in front of the prince, so he could not go tomorrow.

Seeing Ji Anyu's unhappy expression, the housekeeper spoke first.

"Tomorrow we will be in Jinghua Tower. Second Miss will just accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a meal."

Ji Anyu's brows relaxed instantly.

"Okay, I agree."

The housekeeper looked at Ji Anyu's face which was similar to the old duke's, and recalled the old duke's body.

"Second Miss, please don't think the master is annoying. He is doing this for your own good. The master is old and has been feeling unwell for the past two days."

Ji Anyu was surprised, she remembered that her grandfather was in good health at this time in her previous life.

He glanced in the direction of Meihuayuan, and complex and inexplicable emotions emerged in his eyes.

"What has Grandfather eaten recently besides meals?"

"I've been eating red dates and lotus seed soup these past two days." The butler looked puzzled. Does this have anything to do with the old Duke's health?

Ji Anyu was shocked.

In her previous life, Ji Yunchu poisoned the red dates and lotus seeds soup.

There is no evidence at the moment, so we cannot alert the enemy. If we remove the red dates and lotus seed soup, Ji Yunchu will poison somewhere else.

"Since Grandfather is ill, we can't just sit there and watch. We should find a doctor right away."

"Master thinks it's a minor illness and will be fine in a few days."

Ji Anyu had nothing to say. Her grandfather was stubborn and refused to see a doctor, so she couldn't force him.

After the housekeeper left, she immediately asked Qiao Xin to find a way to get red dates and lotus seeds soup.

"Miss, do you suspect there is poison in it?"

"Well, be careful and don't let anyone find out. Once you get it, take it to a doctor outside the palace and let him see if there's any poison in it."

Qiao Xin nodded worriedly.

Ji Anyu thought of the dirty things in the East Palace and said seriously.

"Tell Ji Yunchu the news that I will meet the prince in Jinghua Tower tomorrow. Don't let anyone find out that the news came from our courtyard."

Judging from the prince's appearance, he should agree to her entering the Eastern Palace.

Whether as the Crown Princess or in any other capacity, she cannot sit still and wait for death.

It’s better to leave the Eastern Palace to Ji Yunchu to enjoy.

"Qiaoxin, ask someone else to leave the mansion and find a little beggar to pass a message to Nanhou Mansion, saying that Ji Yunchu and I will go to Jinghua Tower tomorrow."

"Yes, slave, I'll do it now."

Ji Anyu nodded, looking at the bright moon in the sky and smiled.

Although Wei Luoyan hated her, he definitely didn't want her to enter the Eastern Palace, otherwise he wouldn't have tried every means to send Xu Yuyan to her.

The next day.

Ji Anyu was still dressed brightly and beautifully, but the difference was that Ji Chengting did not come with her.

"Second Miss, the master may have been too tired yesterday. He hasn't gotten up yet. I have sent someone to call the doctor."

"Well, I'll just take Hui Fu and Han Yan with me."

The housekeeper was worried about Ji Anyu's safety, so he asked two guards to escort Ji Anyu to Jinghua Tower.

When the carriage was halfway through the journey, Ji Anyu opened the window, looked back, and saw a sneaky carriage following behind.

Ji Yunchu really followed her, so she felt relieved.

"Hui Fu, Han Yan, just enjoy your meal today, and don't worry about anything else."

"Okay." Huifu and Hanyan responded in unison.

The two smiled at each other. They had heard that Qiaoxin and the young lady were going to Jinghua Tower for dinner and they were so envious. They didn't expect that it would be their turn so soon.

Eunuch Yu, the follower of Shen Yuxian, booked a room in Jinghua Tower. "Your Highness, Miss Ji is here." Eunuch Yu smiled flatteringly.

"Ask someone to serve the food." Shen Yuxian tapped the table leisurely with his fingertips.

Just as Ji Anyu raised one foot to step over the threshold, a person suddenly jumped out from behind him.

"Brother Crown Prince, are you also having dinner at Jinghua Tower?"

Shen Yuxian's face changed slightly. He didn't expect Ji Yunchu to appear in Jinghua Tower.

He looked at Ji Anyu with displeasure.

Why is Ji Yunchu here? What does the Duke's Mansion mean?
Ji Anyu shook her head innocently to indicate that she didn't know either.

"Brother Prince, the scenery here is really beautiful."

Ji Yunchu sat down next to Shen Yuxian, glanced at the scenery outside the window, then turned her head and looked at Shen Yuxian with sparkling eyes.

"Yeah." Shen Yuxian picked up a cup of tea and suppressed the anger in his eyes.

He saw Ji Anyu's peerless beauty, and then looked at Ji Yunchu, and suddenly felt that Ji Yunchu's beauty was too delicate.

Ji Yunchu was completely unaware and reached out to pour tea for Shen Yuxian.

"My prince is usually busy, but today he finally has time to leave the palace, so he should go for a good stroll."

Shen Yuxian glanced at the teacup, then raised his eyes and looked directly at Ji Yunchu.

There was as much admiration and respect in Ji Yunchu's eyes as always, and he could feel that Ji Yunchu liked him.

However, he did not see such a look in Ji Anyu's eyes. It was conceivable that Ji Anyu met him only to follow her grandfather's wishes.

Ji Anyu felt a little uneasy when she saw Chen Yuxian showing some impatience towards Ji Yunchu.

His eyes flickered, and he walked up to Shen Yuxian and saluted.

"Can this subject ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a reward?"

Chen Yuxian became interested, "What reward do you want? Tell me."

Ji Anyu tugged at her handkerchief, shyly lowering her head.

"My two maids have never eaten the food in Jinghua Tower. Your Highness, can you give them a small table of food?"

She spoke quickly, as if she was afraid that Shen Yuxian would not agree.

"My two maids are obedient and sensible. They will not disturb His Royal Highness the Crown Prince while he is eating. They treat me very well and take care of my food, clothing, shelter and transportation. I would like to treat them to a meal at Jinghua Tower, but I am short of money. I can only ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a reward."

Shen Yuxian's interest faded, and he took in Ji Anyu's nervous look as she twisted her handkerchief.

According to Ji Anyu, the eunuchs and maids in the palace serve him, so does he have to invite them to Jinghua Tower for a meal?

How can Ji Anyu, who looks so unpresentable, be qualified to be the Crown Princess?

He even lost interest in having Natianyu as a concubine. With her good looks, it would be good enough for her to be a concubine.

"Your Highness, can you?" Ji Anyu reminded Shen Yuxian at the right time.

"That's right."

Shen Yuxian signaled to Eunuch Yu, who was serving him food, to do it.

As soon as Eunuch Yu left the table, Ji Yunchu took over the chopsticks with a smile and actively served food to Shen Yuxian.

With Ji Anyu's stupid brain, he still wants to compete with her, huh.

"Sister, since you like those two maids so much, why don't you go and have dinner with them?"

"Ah? Is it really possible?" Ji Anyu looked at Shen Yuxian with joy.

Shen Yuxian frowned, glanced at Ji Yunchu, who was elegant and virtuous, and then glanced at Ji Anyu, who was happy to mingle with the servants.

"You can go if you want."

"Hey! Thank you, Your Highness."

Ji Anyu turned around and made a gesture to leave, but suddenly remembered that there might not be enough food.

She turned back and said with a smile.

"Your Highness, can you add two more meat dishes?"

Shen Yuxian showed a trace of disbelief, and after a moment, he raised his lips in contempt.

"I agree."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" After paying his respects, Ji Anyu ran to Hui Fu and the others' small table without looking back.

At this time, in the next room.

"Ajing, she has no interest in the prince. Are you relieved now?" Sun Ziyu took a sip of wine.

"I heard that Wei Luoyan brought Xu Yuyan here. Oh my, there will be something exciting to watch."
