The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Chapter 145 Ji Xiang Returns to the Palace

Madam Yao nodded and agreed: "Okay, okay, I remember Xiang'er has a red birthmark behind her right ear."

"Come on, girl, let me see if there's anything behind your ears?"

After saying that, before Peng Lian could react, he moved in front of her and gently pulled aside the loose hair behind her ears.

Immediately, a small red birthmark came into view.

Madam Yao was overjoyed. She pulled up Peng Lian's left arm and rolled up her sleeve.

When I saw the black mole on her elbow, tears started to flow.

He hugged Peng Lian in his arms and burst into tears: "My daughter, wuwuwu..."

"What kind of suffering have you endured outside these past six months? You don't even recognize your mother, wuwuwu..."

Peng Lian stood there in a daze, not moving an inch. Who was this lady? Why did she say I was her daughter?

She slapped her head hard and asked, "Why don't I remember anything?"

After crying for a long time, Madam Yao wiped her tears and ordered the palace servants: "Quick! Go and invite the king!"

“Yes!” The palace maid agreed and ran out quickly.

After a cup of tea, Duke Hui of Yan hurried in and asked, "Sister is back? Where is she?"

The Thirteenth Princess and Duke Hui of Yan were half-siblings.

Lady Yao loved Ji Kuan very much since she was a child, and after Ji Xiang was born, Ji Kuan also treated her as her own sister.

Therefore, the relationship between the brother and sister was very good. After Ji Kuan succeeded to the throne, he loved his sister even more and doted on her.

When the king arrived, everyone knelt down and saluted. When he saw his sister, he immediately stepped forward and hugged her in his arms.

He murmured to himself, "Xiang'er, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have listened to those ministers and wanted to marry you off to Shanrong."

"It's all my fault, brother. I will never do such a stupid thing again."

Peng Lian looked at Duke Hui of Yan with a strange look. Brother? He had a brother who was a king?

How could I not know this? Are they crazy? How could they claim relatives so randomly?

Thinking of this, she gently pushed Ji Kuan away and said, "My king, have you recognized the wrong person?"

"I am Peng Lian, a maidservant of the Young Master Ri's family, not your sister."

Peng Lian? Gongzi Ri? Duke Hui looked at Zhao Yan in surprise: "What, what's going on?"

"Sister, why don't you recognize me? Who is Gongzi Ri? Why is she called Peng Lian again?"

Zhao Yan bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, the princess may have suffered a severe brain injury and lost her memory while living away from home."

"Therefore, I can't remember all the people and things in the past."

"Young Master Ri is the second son of Zixuan City Lord of Fugui City. Because his father-in-law disapproved of their marriage, they eloped and came to Yan State to seek refuge with me."

"While passing through Yuyang County, I encountered a human trafficker beating and scolding the princess, so I rescued him and brought him to my residence."

"The princess looks familiar to me, but she has lost her memory and doesn't recognize us."

"I will take it upon myself to bring her into the palace for the Dowager to identify her."

Duke Hui of Yan nodded and said, "I see. Then, have you been able to identify it clearly, my aunt?"

Madam Yao quickly said, "I have identified her, my lord. She is Xiang'er, your sister!"

Great! Since my sister has a serious head injury, she should be treated immediately. Someone, call the imperial physician!

“Yes!” The eunuch agreed and left. Not long after, several imperial doctors hurried in.

After repeated diagnosis by several imperial doctors, a conclusion was finally reached.

The princess's brain was hit by external force, which induced intracranial hemorrhage and caused her to lose her memory.

Duke Hui of Yan asked the imperial physician, "Can this disease be cured?"

The imperial physician shook his head: "This injury is inside the brain. It is difficult to expel the blood stasis with medicine."

Unless... the imperial physician stopped talking and didn't dare to say any more.

Duke Hui of Yan glared at him and said, "Unless what? Tell me now!"

"Your Majesty, this disease can only be cured if the princess's head is opened and the blood clots are removed."

"Nonsense! You can still live after your head is opened! In my opinion, you are just a bunch of quacks."

"It's clear that his medical skills are poor, yet he's talking nonsense about opening the skull and drawing blood. He's so audacious and doesn't know how to live or die!"

"Come here! Drag them away and give each of them forty lashes of the cane! Let's see if they dare to speak nonsense again!"

When several imperial doctors heard this, they were so frightened that their calves were cramping. At our age, you are going to lose your life in a forty-year battle!

He knelt down and begged for mercy: "My king, please spare my life! My king, please spare my life..."

Just as the guards were about to drag the men away, Zhao Yan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, wait a minute!"

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Physician's words are not unfounded. I heard about them when I was in Fugui City, Qi State."

"The doctors in that hospital can open a person's skull, cure the disease, and then sew the skull back together."

"She's not in danger of death. Why don't we send Princess Thirteen to Fugui City for treatment?"

Duke Hui of Yan asked doubtfully, "Are you serious?"

Zhao Yan nodded heavily: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true!"

"I have also heard that if a pregnant woman has difficulty giving birth, the doctor can perform a caesarean section to remove the baby. After the baby is taken out, the abdomen is sewed up again, and the woman will not die."

"In that case, I will forgive your sins for now. If the princess is cured, you will be fine."

"If you can't be cured, I will come and deal with you! Leave."

"Yes, yes!" Several people looked at Zhao Xin with gratitude and quickly retreated.

Duke Hui of Yan looked at Zhao Xin again and said, "Tomorrow you will bring Prince Ri into the palace. I want to see him."

"Now that the princess has been found, there's no need to go back. Just let them know."

The couple returned home and told Zi Ri and his brother everything that had happened.

After hearing this, the two were happy for the princess as she had finally found her family.

At this moment, the servants reported that the master had arrived, and several people hurried out to greet him.

When the old general saw Zi Ri, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted: "I heard that you were visiting my humble home, so I came here specially to visit you."

Zi Ri quickly bowed and said, "You are too polite, General. I should have gone to visit you. How dare I bother you to come in person? I am so sorry."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and then returned to the hall to sit down. Zhao Jin asked Zi Ri, "My dear nephew, I heard that you saved the princess?"

Zi Ri waved his hand and said: "General, why do you want to save the princess? It was just a chance encounter. May I ask why the princess ran away from her marriage?
