Two days later.

"Wake up, wake up, Your Highness, Lu Fengyi is awake!"

"Master Ling You has already arrived!"

As soon as the housekeeper finished speaking, Xie Xi, who was sitting at the desk, stood up suddenly and walked out in a hurry. His elegant and cold face suddenly showed a smile, and his eyes lit up slightly, "I'll go see her right away!"

After saying this, the Crown Prince disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The butler, who was still standing there with his head bowed, was a little confused: "..."

Your Highness walks so fast!

He vaguely remembered that when Lu Fengyi first entered the Prince's Mansion, His Highness didn't seem to care so much about Lu Fengyi, right?

Xie Xi was unaware of what the butler was muttering behind his back. He couldn't wait to see Lu Xiaoxiao safe and sound.

When he saw her lying on the couch with a pale face, he felt extremely regretful and wondered why it was she who was shot by the arrow instead of him.

He was the one who got her into trouble.

Lu Xiaoxiao was still in the main house in the front yard, and the study was not far from the main house.

However, these past two days Xie Xi has been busy dealing with his fourth brother Xie Jin, while also handling the matters assigned to him by his father, so it is difficult for him to squeeze out time to accompany Lu Xiaoxiao during the day.

Only at night when going to bed would Xie Xi sleep on the soft couch in the main room to watch over Lu Xiaoxiao.

Arriving at the main room's door, Xie Xi pushed it open. When he looked up, he saw Ling You sitting at the table with his head lowered, prescribing medicine.

Although the poison in Lu Xiaoxiao's body has been eliminated, her body is now extremely weak and she still needs to take medicine to replenish her body.

Lu Xiaoxiao half leaned against the bed, her bright eyes staring straight at Xie Xi: "Your Highness, you are here."

"Well, I'm here."

The smile on Xie Xi's lips deepened. He quickened his pace, came to Lu Xiaoxiao's side, and sat down beside the bed.

Ling You, who was writing a prescription, raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Xi. He was almost dazzled by the bright smile on his face. How could he look like the Crown Prince he knew?

Ling You was silent, feeling unbelievable.

Does Ah Xi like her so much?

Ling You thought about it and said very considerately: "I'll go out first, you two can talk slowly."

He'd better not stay here and get in someone's way.

Xie Xi, Lu Xiaoxiao: "..."

Soon, they were the only two left in the room.

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Lingyou has a good temper."

[I wonder which girl will be lucky enough to become the wife of Master Lingyou in the future! ]

Xie Xi pursed his lips, "Better than me?"

"Huh? What?"

Lu Xiaoxiao was just thinking about Master Lingyou, and for a moment she couldn't hear clearly what Xie Xi said, "What did His Highness say just now?"

"nothing."

Xie Xi lowered his eyes, stretched out his hand to pull up the quilt beside him, and covered Lu Xiaoxiao with it. "You just woke up, and your body is weak at this time. Don't catch a cold if you are not careful."

"it is good."

Lu Xiaoxiao's almond-shaped eyes were full of smiles. She also pulled the quilt and slowly wrapped herself up. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will take good care of myself."

"I will take good care of you."

Xie Xi liked Lu Xiaoxiao's reliance on him and didn't want to see her being so obedient in front of him.

Xie Xi: "Does the wound still hurt?"

"Ling You made some scar-removing plasters these past two days. A maid tried it and it worked very well. Don't worry about the scar. I will go to Ling You to get the plaster later."

"No need, Master Lingyou has already brought it here."

As she spoke, Lu Xiaoxiao reached out from under her pillow and took out a small box of plaster, and handed it to Xie Xi as if offering a treasure, "Look, this is the plaster for scar removal, but Master Lingyou told me that I can only use it after the wound is completely healed."

"I won't use it for the time being, so I'll put it aside."

Xie Xi: “…”

When did Ling You become so diligent?

Xie Xi felt quite helpless and sighed inaudibly: "Then you should keep it for now."

"I failed to protect you this time, and that's why you got hurt. There won't be a next time."

Xie Xi promised.

There will definitely not be a next time.

Seeing the serious look on Xie Xi's face, Lu Xiaoxiao was somewhat moved. However, if there was an assassin who wanted to harm His Highness again next time, she would still stand in front of His Highness without hesitation.

The system really gives too much!

Who would have known that, as soon as she woke up from her coma, she found that the system generously rewarded her with a thousand points!!

Before this, Lu Xiaoxiao really didn't expect that she could get so many points by blocking the arrow for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

When Lu Xiaoxiao heard the system reminder just now, she almost jumped up to celebrate.

Unfortunately, she was still injured and felt pain in her heart even when she moved, so she could only stay still for a while.

By this calculation, it seems that she already has more than 1,300 points in her system account!

Now she can use the points to exchange for the antidote for the cold poison for His Highness, a seven-day supply, one antidote a day. After His Highness takes the antidote for seven consecutive days, the cold poison in his body will completely disappear!

The problem that had been bothering her for a long time was solved just like that?

Lu Xiaoxiao was a little slow to react for a moment, she stared at Xie Xi in a daze.

"What's wrong? Xiao Xiao doesn't believe me?"

Xie Xi didn't know why Lu Xiaoxiao looked at him like that, but he didn't say anything.

Could it be that Xiaoxiao thought that he was deceiving her?

Xie Xi frowned, feeling inexplicably nervous. He couldn't hear Xiaoxiao's inner voice at this moment, so he didn't know what she was thinking.

Xie Xi held her hand and said, "I won't lie to you."

Feeling the warmth in her palm, Lu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses. Just when she heard these words, she couldn't help but chuckle. She also winked at Xie Xi playfully and said with a smile: "I will believe Your Highness and you won't lie to me."

"Don't think too much, Your Highness. I just suddenly remembered that I have the antidote."

Xie Xi was amused by her quirky appearance and immediately felt relieved. He raised his hand to stroke her hair and subconsciously asked, "What antidote?"

Lu Xiaoxiao: "It is the antidote to cure the cold poison in your Highness' body."

Xie Xi's pupils shrank slightly and he was stunned.

"I have already told Your Highness that if you want to completely eliminate the cold poison, you must take the antidote for seven consecutive days. Now, I have the antidote for those seven days."

"How is it? Is Your Highness happy?"

As Lu Xiaoxiao spoke, she used her consciousness to open the points mall and used one thousand and fifty points to buy seven cold poison antidotes.

Suddenly, a small porcelain bottle appeared under the quilt.

Seeing that the Crown Prince seemed to not believe what she said, Lu Xiaoxiao coughed lightly, took out a small porcelain bottle from under the quilt, and placed it in Xie Xi's palm: "Here, seven antidotes, one antidote a day, take for seven consecutive days, without interruption."

[The 1,000 points I just received haven't even warmed up yet, and I have to spend them so soon. However, if it can help His Highness completely get rid of the cold poison, it will be worth it! ]

[After all, if you lose points, you can still earn them back by completing tasks. If His Highness loses them, then they are really gone! ]

Xie Xi, who heard the inner voice at this time: "..."

He looked down at the small porcelain bottle in his hand. Even though the mouth of the bottle was blocked, he could still smell the faint scent of medicine, which seemed to make him feel a lot more comfortable.

He believed that this was indeed the antidote for the cold poison.

"Little."

Xie Xi stared at her face with a burning gaze, his eyebrows full of smiles, "Whatever you want, I can get it for you."

It seems like she doesn't lack anything?

Lu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said, "I can't remember what I want for now, so why not just remember it first?"

"The most important thing right now is to get rid of the cold poison in your body!"

"Okay, I'll remember it first."

Xie Xi suppressed his excitement, nodded, and said gently: "I'll do as you say."

Lu Xiaoxiao: "Then take an antidote first."

[Fortunately, Your Highness did not ask me where the antidote came from, otherwise I really would not know how to answer. After all, I have been lying on the couch for two days.]

Xie Xi's eyes flickered slightly. He had always known that she had a secret, but from the moment he could hear her inner voice, he had already believed her.

Whatever secrets she was hiding, they would not harm him.

"it is good."

Xie Xi curled his lips, and his eyes looked at Lu Xiaoxiao more and more gently. He poured out an antidote from the small porcelain bottle and swallowed it.

Unexpectedly, the antidote melted in his mouth.

Before he could even feel whether the antidote was bitter or sweet, he suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen, and a fishy-sweet taste rushed up his throat. Xie Xi's face changed slightly, and he turned his face away subconsciously, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.

The black blood spilled onto the ground and instantly solidified into frost.

"???"

Seeing this scene, Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned, "This, this, this..."

[Hiss, is this the power of the cold poison? Even the blood has been frozen into frost...]

She had little experience and had never seen this kind of poison.

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't quite imagine that the cold poison had been hidden in the Crown Prince's body for three full years. So every time the cold poison attacked, would the blood in the Crown Prince's body freeze into ice?

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but shiver.

The cold poison in southern Xinjiang is really terrible!

"Did it scare you?"

Xie Xi raised his sleeve and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He had just spit out blood, and he could already feel that the coldness in his body had lessened a lot.

These antidotes are very special and the effects are amazing.

Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head and couldn't help but feel sorry for him: "Your Highness, these past three years must have been very difficult, right?"

Xie Xi: "Even though it was hard, I have managed to get through it. If it weren't for Xiao Xiao, I would not be able to get rid of the cold poison until the day I die."

"Don't talk nonsense, Your Highness."

Lu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and quickly covered his mouth. She frowned and glared at him: "In seven days, Your Highness will be fine."

Xie Xi was not annoyed at being glared at for no reason, and the smile in his eyes gradually deepened.

How lucky he is to have Xiao Xiao.

……

Lu Xiaoxiao had just woken up and her body was still very weak. Xie Xi didn't want to disturb her rest, so after telling her about what had happened in the mansion in the past two days, he got up and left.

The morning mist remained in Jingxiang Courtyard, and the morning dew was still brewing medicine in the kitchen.

At this moment, Baizhi and Baizhu, who had been waiting outside the room, came in.

Before leaving, Xie Xi specifically gave some instructions to the two maids, asking them to take good care of Lu Xiaoxiao.

Baizhi and Baizhu quickly agreed.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cares so much about his master, how could they dare not take care of him with all their heart?

Xie Xi took the small porcelain bottle to the pharmacy.

Once Ling You gets a prescription, he will definitely go to the pharmacy to get the medicine.

"Why did you come here instead of staying there with your sweetheart?"

Listening to the footsteps, Ling You recognized who entered the pharmacy without even looking up.

Ling You was very busy getting medicine and registering at the same time.

Xie Xi glanced at him, then looked at the herbs on the table. They had all been divided and were waiting to be packaged.

Xie Xi strode over and said, "I want to talk to you about something."

"However, you go ahead and do your work. My business is not urgent for the time being."

Ling You: "...Can't you help me pack up all these medicines?"

Xie Xi was silent for a moment.

Ling You put down the herbs in his hand and said unhappily, "Don't forget who I prescribed this medicine for."

"Just for a letter from you, I rushed back from southern Xinjiang. As soon as I got back, I didn't even have a cup of tea, but was busy saving your people. Come to think of it, you haven't paid the consultation fee yet!"

He stayed in the Prince's Mansion for two days and was so busy that he couldn't even step out of the mansion!

Seeing Ah Xi's leisurely look at this time, Ling You just wanted to pull him to work together.

We are all brothers, so we should work together!

"Consultation fee?"

Xie Xi held his forehead in silence, "Ling You, have you forgotten that you still owe me a hundred taels of gold?"

Ling You was suddenly choked.

It seems like he really forgot?

It was all because of his young age and ignorance. Due to a moment of carelessness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince became his biggest creditor!

Xie Xi: "That's the consultation fee."

Ling You glared at him with resentment.

If he had known this would happen, he would not have made the daring bet with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

A quarter of an hour had passed by the time Ling You finished his work.

Ling You rubbed his brows, and then put all the medicine bags in order, and then said to Xie Xi: "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Xie Xi: "Ling You, you don't have to go to southern Xinjiang to find the antidote anymore."

Hearing this, Ling You frowned slightly and looked at him in confusion, "Ah Xi, what exactly do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean there's no need to go to southern Xinjiang to find an antidote?"

"Are you planning to not cure the cold poison and wait for death?"

When Ling You said this, his tone was a little excited. An angry look appeared on his face. He stared at Xie Xi closely and said, "Tell me, what are you like?"

As a brother, Ling You didn't want to watch Xie Xi die.

Even if the antidote for the cold poison in Southern Xinjiang is hard to find, even if he has to travel all over Southern Xinjiang, no matter how long it takes, he will not give up!

Seeing Ling You questioning him so excitedly and angrily, Xie Xi clenched his fist and coughed lightly, then handed over the small porcelain bottle in his hand without changing his expression, "Take a look at this first."

Ling You: “…”

Ling You glanced at him and quickly looked away. He snorted coldly, "Xie Xi! Don't try to avoid this question. You must tell me clearly, do you still want me to find an antidote for the cold poison?"

Ling You was really angry.

It has only been a short time since they last met, why does his good brother suddenly not want to live anymore?

Xie Xi sighed softly and said in a gentle tone: "No need to look for it, the antidote for the cold poison is in it."

Lingyou: ???
