After several days of construction, Xu Mo has completed the pond designed by Shangguan Qing. It has a circular appearance and is located next to the rockery. The location of this pond is very clever. Every noon, the direct sunlight just falls on the water surface. On top, and the bottom of the pool is deep enough, streams of hot spring water gush out towards the middle of the pool.

"My lord, how do you think this pool is built? Is it satisfactory?" Xu Mo smiled proudly, as if he was asking for credit.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work. I will reward you well." Mei Xichen replied with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, there is still one last step left. The craftsmen haven't engraved the names on it yet. Is Your Majesty..." Xu Mo asked.

"This pool was originally designed by the princess, so of course I have to let my princess name it." He said with a smile on his lips.

At this moment, Shangguan Qing slowly walked towards this side. After greeting the prince, he looked at the newly built pool and felt ecstatic. "Commander Xu is really talented. He built the pond so well in just a few days. It's beyond my expectation."

"The princess praised me, this is my responsibility." Xu Mo said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, how should we name this pool?" Shangguan Qing turned to look at Mei Xichen.

"Since it was designed by the princess, everything depends on the princess." Mei Xichen said.

Shangguan Qing thought for a moment and then said: "My prince and I met during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the bright moon acted as matchmaker to witness the relationship between me and the prince. Then let's call it Mingyue Pool!" Shangguan Qing said happily.

"Okay... okay, it all depends on Qing'er. You can call her whatever you want." Mei Xichen leaned into Shangguan Qing's ear and whispered softly.

Xu Mo quickly ordered the craftsmen to carve the words "Mingyue Pool" on the edge of the pool.

At noon the next day, Mei Xichen was reading in the study when Shangguan Qing came to him with tea and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the weather is nice today. How about you and I going to Mingyue Pond for a hot spring bath?"

"This time? Qing'er, are you sure it's this time?" Mei Xichen asked in surprise.

"I'm sure, my lord, do you think there's anything wrong?" Shangguan Qing asked.

"It's inappropriate to let the servants see you and me having fun in the pool in broad daylight. I won't go." Mei Xichen replied in embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, how can you have such scruples? Firstly, this Mingyue Pond is only in our Yunxi Courtyard. Secondly, the maids and attendants are all the personal servants serving the prince. Who would tell anyone about it, how can it be offensive to moral standards? ?" Shangguan Qing asked pretending to be angry.

Mei Xichen looked at Shangguanqing's angry expression and felt that she was extremely cute at this moment. She gently lifted Shangguanqing's chin with her hand and said, "Qing'er is sure to be in the pool with me at this time." Playful?"

"Let's go..." Shangguanqing said, grabbing Mei Xichen's sleeve and walking towards Mingyue Pond.

At this time, the maid Rongruo had been waiting by the pool for a long time. When she saw them coming, she immediately opened the curtain and let the two of them walk towards the pool, and quickly lowered the curtain.

The curtain is very thin and made of light gauze, so the sunlight can still shine on the pool surface, forming a golden light. Rongruo helped the two of them change their clothes and then left. Under the curtain, there were only Mei Xichen and Shangguan Qing in the middle of the pool.

"Qing'er, what flowers and plants are floating on the water?" Mei Xichen asked doubtfully.

"Smell its aroma, does it look familiar?" Shangguan Qing held out a handful and motioned for Mei Xichen to smell it.

"Isn't this the scent of the pendant you gave me? Oh, I know it's the scent of snake jelly." Mei Xichen suddenly realized.

"Your Majesty is not too stupid." Shangguan Qing said and smiled secretly.

"You dare to say that I am stupid, let's see how I deal with you?" As she spoke, Mei Xichen pulled Shangguanqing's back toward her chest with one hand. Shangguanqing was pushed by this powerful force and was caught off guard. He ran into Mei Xichen's arms.

"I'm doing serious business with you." Shangguan whispered to Mei Xichen in embarrassment.

"Well, what Qing'er and I do are serious things." Mei Xichen laughed.

"I'm not kidding you, the prince. This is the medicinal bath I prepared for you. In addition to the snake grass, there are several other soothing and detoxifying medicines in it. You don't really think that wearing the snake grass pendant every day is enough." Can I keep you safe?"

Mei Xichen stopped laughing and listened carefully, wiping the water droplets from Shangguan Qing's face from time to time. He listened seriously and carefully to every word Shangguan Qing said to him.

"Wearing the pendant in the past few days can temporarily stop the poisonous insects in your body from being active, but it cannot fundamentally drive them away. Next, you need to soak here for an hour at noon every day, using the heat of the hot spring to remove the poisonous insects in your body. The poisonous insects are driven under the skin, and then the sunlight kills them." Looking at Shangguan Qing's serious expression, Mei Xichen was very moved.

In fact, he didn't have much hope that Shangguanqing could cure his disease from the beginning. He just felt that wearing the pendant on his body did not cause illness in the past few days.

For a dying person, he didn't want the woman in front of him to witness the miserable state of his madness. As long as he maintained the status quo, it was already very difficult. As for being able to completely cure the poison, he didn't even dare to think about it.

At this time, Mei Xichen just wants to give Shangguan Qing more companionship and more favor before the deadline. This is the only thing he can do at the moment.

You say that Mei Xichen is an unprincipled person or a greedy person. Where is the gentleman who vowed that he would harm others if he got married? In fact, it is not the case. Sometimes when love comes, it is difficult to extricate yourself from it. After all, he is just an ordinary person.

Mei Xichen listened to Shangguan Qing's words and behaved dignifiedly. Even if there was a glimmer of hope of survival at this time, he would try, not only for himself, but also because he didn't want to let down Shangguan Qing's good intentions for him.

Shangguan Qing wiped Mei Xichen's body with herbs. This was the first time in her thousands of years of practice that she had loved a man so wholeheartedly. Maybe this kind of love had started ten years ago.

In fact, Shangguan Qing did not truthfully tell Mei Xichen how to treat him for the insect poison, or she did not tell him completely. The most important link is the inner alchemy and the relationship between them as husband and wife, which plays a decisive role.

Snake grass only inhibits the overactive poisonous insects, and sunlight and hot springs only expel the dead poisonous insects from the body.

Of course Shangguan Qing won't reveal the inside story, what should I say? Could it be that I used the art of guidance to give you the inner elixir, and then performed the couple's affairs to infinitely amplify the effect of the inner elixir, and finally saved your life?

Then what would Mei Xichen think if he knew that the princess in front of him was a thousand-year-old fox? Will he refuse treatment, or turn away?

That's all, that's all, everything is God's will. Let's wait until the insect poison in his body is completely cured before taking a long-term approach.
