"To make you feel better." Jiang Xue replied, "It's a good deal to exchange her life for your wish."

After understanding Jiang Xue's meaning, Qu Xin sighed: "Fortunately, I have never been your enemy. Your methods are really unpredictable."

Jiang Xue chuckled, thinking that this girl's thoughts were probably more complicated than hers.

"What are you going to do?" Seeing Qu Xin squatting beside Concubine Feng, the Queen Mother immediately stood up and asked vigilantly.

"Save her." Qu Xin tore open Concubine Feng's trouser legs without even raising his head.

Concubine Feng's snow-white skin was exposed, and the attendants around her lowered their heads, while the female guests looked at the behavior of the Five Poison Guardian in surprise.

"Oh my god, how dare you tear the concubine's clothes in public? It's so shameless!"

Concubine Feng’s reputation was almost ruined by this woman!

"Stop, what are you doing?"

The Queen Mother saw this and immediately shouted angrily. The guards outside the door heard the sound and rushed in quickly.

"Dawn of spring, brushing away winter."

Jiang Xue calmly gave the order and two maids immediately blocked the door to prevent the guards from seeing Concubine Feng exposed.

"Empress Dowager, Concubine Feng has been poisoned, and Qu Xin, as a doctor, just wants to save her. The poison is in her legs, and tearing her clothes off is for treatment. In order to protect Concubine Feng's privacy, Xiaochun and Fudong have guarded the door as I ordered, please understand." Jiang Xue explained first.

"The imperial physician will be here soon, there's no need for her to save you," said the Queen Mother, frowning.

"It takes at least half an incense stick of time to get from here to the Imperial Medical Bureau, and it will probably be too late by then. So Qu Xin is the most suitable candidate." Jiang Xue replied.

"Doesn't Princess Changle also know medicine?" Concubine Jin interrupted.

"Changle has been unwell recently and can't help." Jiang Xue responded.

As she spoke, Qu Xin had already completed the treatment. Although the snake venom was extremely toxic, due to the timely treatment and her superb medical skills, Concubine Feng soon stopped twitching, her complexion also recovered a lot, and then she fell asleep.

"Okay, she's safe."

Qu Xin stood up, but she felt dizzy because she stood up too quickly and almost fell down. Fortunately, Jiang Xue was quick to support her.

"Are you okay?" Jiang Xue noticed her pale face and asked worriedly, and took her pulse.

After examination, it was found that Qu Xin had indeed had a miscarriage, which might have been caused by the previous coercion by Concubine Feng.

"I'm fine." Qu Xin shook his head and leaned most of his weight on Jiang Xue. "Anyway, someone is holding me up. It would be a shame if I don't lean on them."

"You're really heavy..." Jiang Xue expressed her feelings frankly.

"You look down on me." Qu Xin pretended to be aggrieved and looked at her, "It's bad enough that I was schemed against by them, but now even you treat me like this."

Jiang Xue: “…”

How did she get to know such a shameless best friend? Every time she saw the other person's helpless face, Qu Xin was very happy.

From childhood to adulthood, teasing Jiang Xue always made her feel extremely happy, and this happiness never diminished.

"Empress Dowager." A moment later, a white-haired imperial physician followed the maid and hurried over. Sweat beads were all over his forehead. It was obvious that he had run here. "Please treat Concubine Feng and see how she is doing."

Despite this, the Queen Mother was still worried about Qu Xin and had to wait for the imperial physician to confirm again before she could feel at ease.

"Empress Dowager, the queen is in good health, just lacking in energy and blood. She will be fine after a few days of good recuperation." After carefully feeling the queen's pulse, the imperial physician stood up and reported to the empress dowager.

"Empress Dowager, Qu Xin saved Concubine Feng. Please consider her contribution and stop making things difficult for her." Taking the opportunity, Jiang Xue quickly pleaded for her friend.

Faced with such a request, the Queen Mother fell into deep thought. Just now everyone witnessed how Concubine Feng treated Qu Xin, and now Qu Xin saved a life in public.

If you still refuse to give in at this time, how will others see you?

After a long while, the Queen Mother finally spoke: "Well, since she has done a great service to others, there is no need to punish her to drink at today's banquet."

I had originally planned to take this opportunity to get rid of this thorn in my side, but it seems I have to find another way.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." With these words, Jiang Xue felt relieved. At least, this crisis was temporarily over.

In the following days, the Queen Mother seemed very dissatisfied because she failed to get rid of Qu Xin as she wished, and the whole banquet was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

The banquet ended abruptly before it got completely dark.

"Little Snow."

In front of Luanyi Palace, Lu Linyi stopped Jiang Xue who was about to leave.

"Cousin." she called softly.

Jiang Xue stopped and turned around. She saw that Lu Linyi looked haggard, thinner than before, and looked listless.

"How have you been lately?" Jiang Xue asked with concern.

Since Xiao Zhan ascended the throne, she hasn't visited the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion for a long time.

Occasionally, I heard from the servants that Nan Jingxing supported the family alone and lived a very difficult life.

I also heard that because her uncle opposed Lu Linyi and Nan Jingxing's marriage, he even placed Lu Linyi under house arrest. If it weren't for this flower banquet, she probably wouldn't be able to go out.

Lu Linyi forced a smile and said, "That's all. Actually, I want to ask you for a favor."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Xue asked.

"Could you please say a few good words to the Emperor so that His Highness the Sixth Prince won't come to the Marquis' Mansion again?" Lu Linyi said in a low voice.

Jiang Xue was slightly surprised when the Sixth Prince was mentioned. This was the first time she had heard such news. "Are you talking about Xiao Shen? Does he often visit your house?"

At this moment, Qu Xin yawned and approached, leaning casually beside Jiang Xue, pointing at Xiao Shen who was walking towards them and asked, "Is the Sixth Prince you are talking about this young master?"

The two followed her gaze, and Lu Linyi subconsciously took a step back and hid behind Jiang Xue. Seeing her cousin's reaction, Jiang Xue couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that the Sixth Prince is interested in Lu Linyi?

"Sixth Prince." Facing Xiao Shen who was coming towards her, Jiang Xue greeted him politely.

Although Lu Linyi did not say anything, he also bowed slightly to show his respect.

Qu Xin straightened his back and stood aside, looking at Xiao Shen carefully.

Well, this person is really good-looking, and his temperament is also quite extraordinary. He exudes the aura of a Taoist monk. This temperament reminds Qu Xin of another person.

She subconsciously stroked her belly, thinking to herself: I wonder how the child's father is doing now. Ever since she became pregnant with this child, she missed that "idiot" more and more.

I wonder if that “idiot” will miss her as much as she does?

"Princess Changle." Xiao Shen stopped a few steps away and saluted politely.

He glanced behind Jiang Xue, and when he saw Lu Linyi's evasive look, his eyes dimmed instantly, "Is the Sixth Prince here to see the Queen Mother?"

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xue had some guesses in her mind. It seemed that the Sixth Prince was interested in her cousin.

"I'm here to see you, Princess." Xiao Shen said, "Can we chat in private?"
