Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

That night, Jin Liu's courtyard was exceptionally quiet.

Yuan Ruolan was worried that the child's illness would relapse at night, so she and An Nan stayed in the guest room.

Little Fourteen's fever slowly subsided half an hour after he took the medicine. After two hours of sweating, the child woke up. As soon as he woke up, he cried out that he was hungry. After eating two large bowls of porridge, he even began to roll around on the bed and play with his toys. He was lively and active, just like usual.

Little Fourteen was out of danger, but Concubine Jin couldn't close her eyes and looked at her son with mixed feelings.

At dawn, Jin Yun received the news and hurried over. He had been helping out in various clinics for days without sleep. If Xiao Shi had not gone to the Yuan family to get some medicinal materials today, he would have hurried over if he had heard that the servant of the Jin Liu family had knelt here for a day to seek medical treatment.

After checking Little Fourteen's pulse, he handed him a candy with a smile, saying, "Don't worry, Madam, there's nothing serious."

"By the way, Jinyun." Concubine Jin handed over the remaining water in the tea bowl that Yuan Ruolan had fed to her son, placed it in front of him, and asked with a frown, "Can you help me see what medicine is in this?"

Jinyun took the tea bowl and saw some residual medicine residue in the bowl. He came closer and sniffed it carefully, then shook his head silently. He was also somewhat familiar with various kinds of pills, but he had never seen this pill before. He only felt that the taste was a little special, with a strong smell of camphor, musk, and bezoar, and many other medicinal materials, but he couldn't name them one by one. He was stunned for a moment and asked hurriedly, "Madam, who is poisoned?"

Concubine Jin's eyes narrowed and she looked at him with a frown.

Jinyun explained: "This pill is used to detoxify, and its ingredients are very similar to Yiyuan Dan."

"Yiyuan Pill?" Concubine Jin felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She had just listened to a banquet last year, which told the story of the previous emperor Taizu who was framed and poisoned with a fatal poison, but was given a Yiyuan Pill by a master.

Seeing her expression, Jinyun smiled and said, "Madam, although this Yuandan has been deified by the outside world, it is indeed recorded in ancient books. It's just that the elixir is too rare, and some of the ingredients may have been lost long ago, and the records are incomplete, so it can no longer be reproduced."

After seeing Jinyun off, Concubine Jin's brows, which had been furrowed all night, finally relaxed.

"Your Majesty! His Highness has recovered from his illness. I will send someone to the palace to tell the Emperor the good news!" The maid was happy to see Fourteenth boy jumping around.

Concubine Jin's eyes were filled with a cold look. She sneered and said, "No, have the door closed tightly. No word of Qi'er waking up can leak out."

In the guest room, Yuan Ruolan got up early, tidied her clothes, and washed up. She was about to take Anan to the main house to see Fourteenth's doctor. When she opened the door, she saw Concubine Jin standing in the yard with her maid. It was very cold at that time, with snowflakes flying everywhere. She stood in the wind and snow with deep eyes.

At a glance, Anan understood where Jin Liu's almost heaven-defying beauty and natural nobility came from. At this moment, she was standing in the snow with only a maid, still imposing and bright, like a bright moon in the sky.

Yuan Ruolan and Anan were stunned. Concubine Jin came over, took hands and performed a great ceremony. The maid knelt down and kowtowed to the ground.

Yuan Ruolan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly helped Concubine Jin up, saying a little embarrassedly: "How can a common woman dare to accept such a great honor from your Majesty?"

Anan stepped forward and helped the maid up from the ground, gently brushing off the snow on her skirt.

Concubine Jin looked back at Anan and said with a smile, "Are you Ze'er's new wife?"
