After passing through the book, Mr. Chief Assistant came to rely on me

With that said, Su Xiaoxi took out two more bottles of medicine from her sleeve pocket and handed them to Wu De'an, saying: "Send this to Cheng Shubai and tell him that taking one pill can cure hundreds of poisons."

They were waiting for the envoy from Beirong Kingdom here, and it was obviously not suitable to waste any more time.

"Okay! I'll go now, slave."

Wu De'an left happily, not noticing that Su Xiaoxi's face was gloomy, with an inexplicable solemnity.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Your face looks so bad. Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

After Wu De'an left, Mo Yi asked eagerly.

Su Xiaoxi shook her head and said, "I'm fine, I'm just tired."

Hearing this, Wu Zhong nodded, and then advised: "Your Highness, don't work too hard, just have a good rest!"

"Ok!"

Su Xiaoxi nodded tiredly, then leaned on the soft couch and closed her eyes to rest.

These days, she barely had a good night's sleep, and last night she was busy studying poisons.

She was indeed very sleepy now, and she just hoped that she could reach the capital smoothly after waking up.

Cheng Shubai felt a little distressed when he saw that Su Xiaoxi had been so tired during this period. He hesitated for a moment and finally said, "If you are really tired, would you like to take a rest with me?"

Su Xiaoxi closed her eyes and remained silent, seemingly acquiescing to Cheng Shubai's suggestion.

So Cheng Shubai stepped forward, stretched out his hand to cover Su Xiaoxi with the quilt, and then sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Su Xiaoxi with complicated expressions in his eyes.

Su Xiaoxi did not fall asleep, but pretended to sleep.

She didn't know what Cheng Shubai would do to her.

Although she believed in Cheng Shubai's character, she had to be wary of others.

After Cheng Shubai saw Su Xiaoxi sleeping soundly, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and then he stood up and prepared to leave.

He promised Su Xiaoxi to escort Su Xiaoxi to the capital. Since he made a promise, he must fulfill it.

However, when Cheng Shubai stepped out of the door, he suddenly stopped, turned back to the bed, picked up Su Xiaoxi, and walked straight out of the carriage.

The guards outside the carriage widened their eyes when they saw Cheng Shubai coming out with Su Xiaoxi in his arms.

Especially when they saw the unconscious Su Xiaoxi in Cheng Shubai's arms, everyone was even more shocked.

When did their master treat women so easily?

"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Mo Yi looked at Cheng Shubai and asked with concern.

Cheng Shubai raised his eyes and scanned the circle of people, and then said coldly, "Take good care of Her Royal Highness."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shubai had disappeared, leaving only a group of confused soldiers looking at each other.

Mo Yi was stunned for a long time, until Su Xiaoxi's weak and hoarse call came from the carriage.

"Mo Yi..."

Hearing Su Xiaoxi's voice, Mo Yi quickly jumped on the carriage.

In the carriage, blood overflowed from the corners of Su Xiaoxi's mouth and her face turned pale.

Mo Yi was frightened, "Your Highness the Princess!"

Su Xiaoxi pressed her forehead against the wall of the car and spoke with difficulty, "Mo Yi, help me get on the horse."

This time she had to ride a horse.

Without any hesitation, Mo Yi picked up Su Xiaoxi and ran towards the horse.

Because he was worried about Su Xiaoxi, Mo Yi moved so fast that the horse didn't even have time to drink water.

Su Xiaoxi was put on the horse by Mo Yi. Mo Yi breathed a sigh of relief and then galloped towards the official road.

……

Su Xiaoxi and Cheng Shubai hurried quickly and arrived in the capital one day later.

As soon as she got off the carriage, Su Xiaoxi felt a different atmosphere.

Outside the palace, the imperial guards were tightly guarded, and the tall city wall could be vaguely seen on the tower not far away.

All the envoys from Beirong had been brought back, and Su Xiaoxi had completed her mission, so she followed Cheng Shubai into the palace without staying.

"Madam, you need to rest first. I'll have someone come and notify you during dinner." Cheng Shubai said to Su Xiaoxi after sending Su Xiaoxi to the side courtyard.

Su Xiaoxi nodded slightly, "Okay, thank you!"

"His Royal Highness, you are welcome!"

After that, Cheng Shubai left, and Su Xiaoxi walked into the side courtyard, where the furnishings were simple.

This is Cheng Shubai's exclusive courtyard. Under normal circumstances, no one except Cheng Shubai will set foot here.

Therefore, at this time, the house was empty and there was no maid to wait on her. Su Xiaoxi walked around the house for a while, then returned to the bed and lay down, quietly waiting for dinner.

However, Su Xiaoxi lay awake on the bed for a long time, always thinking of that man's face and the black clothes in her mind.

Su Xiaoxi knew that Cheng Shubai must have noticed the abnormality long ago, so he was unwilling to expose it.

After all, Cheng Shubai still expected her to save Mrs. Cheng!

However, what Su Xiaoxi couldn't figure out was how Mrs. Cheng contracted the disease?

And it's so heavy?

Su Xiaoxi fell asleep unconsciously as she thought about it.

The next day, Su Xiaoxi woke up at dawn.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Mo Yi waiting outside the house with breakfast. Su Xiaoxi packed her things after eating and drinking.

She thought that people in the Cheng family were probably already looking for her whereabouts, and if she didn't go back immediately, she might be in danger.

"Princess, do we really want to go back?" Mo Yi looked at Su Xiaoxi who was packing her things, feeling a little confused.

"Yes." Su Xiaoxi replied with a soft tone.

Cheng Shubai had already told Mrs. Cheng about her condition. This time, Su Xiaoxi did not go back to the palace directly. Instead, she came to the Prime Minister's Mansion and began to treat Mrs. Cheng's condition.

Mo Yi was surprised when he saw Su Xiaoxi diagnosing the old woman's pulse.

The princess's medical skills are much better than before.

only……

Mo Yi frowned, his heart filled with melancholy.

Could it be that their master really had evil thoughts towards Her Royal Highness?

Thinking like this, Mo Yi took a peek at Su Xiaoxi and found that Su Xiaoxi was staring at Mrs. Cheng attentively and didn't pay attention to him at all. Mo Yi couldn't help but sigh.

Perhaps, this is also good!

"Mother Cheng's condition is quite difficult and she needs to prepare medicine as soon as possible, otherwise..."

"Princess, please tell me. The civilian woman will take care of it immediately."

Sister-in-law Cheng spoke respectfully and with a humble attitude.

"I need silver needles and hemp powder..." Su Xiaoxi explained carefully, then looked at Sister Cheng, "I need an absolutely quiet environment."

"Don't worry, princess, I'll take care of this matter."

"Thanks a lot."

"What did the princess say? It is an honor for my daughter-in-law to serve my mother."

Su Xiaoxi nodded and said no more.

"Then I won't bother the princess." Sister-in-law Cheng said goodbye to Su Xiaoxi and stepped back.

When Mrs. Cheng left, Su Xiaoxi took a deep breath, then took out the medical tools she carried with her, took out the silver needle, and began to acupuncture Mrs. Cheng.

Su Xiaoxi had never encountered Mrs. Cheng's condition before, so she needed to slowly experiment to figure out how to solve it.
