The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

Bai Zhi stood up and replied respectfully: "Your Highness, the master is in Granny Xu's room. I have to go out for a while."

Xie Xi nodded, walked past her, and took Mu Qing towards Granny Xu's room.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi hurried out to buy medicinal food, fearing that her master would be waiting anxiously.

The yard was not big to begin with, and Xie Xi quickly arrived at the door of Grandma Xu's room. Although the door was open at this moment, he did not go in directly.

Xie Xi raised his hand and knocked on the door three times.

The noise outside immediately caught Lu Xiaoxiao's attention. She got up from the bed and walked towards the door. When she raised her eyes, she saw Xie Xi standing in front of her.

Lu Xiaoxiao was surprised and asked in confusion: "Your Highness?"

"At this hour, shouldn't His Highness have already gone to the palace for the morning court? Why did His Highness suddenly come here?"

"But what's the matter, little princess?"

"No."

Xie Xi shook his head: "My father is dismissed from court today, and I have nothing to do in the palace, so I am coming back first."

"When I returned to the mansion, the housekeeper told me that you had left the house. I was worried about you, so I came to check on you."

Lu Xiaoxiao: "So that's how it is, but Your Highness, how did you know I was here?"

Xie Xi raised his hand and pinched her cheek, chuckling and saying, "I have always been smart, I can guess it at once."

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

[I didn't expect that His Highness' joke was quite novel. Could it be that His Highness was stimulated by something? His Highness would not normally say such things! ]

Facing Lu Xiaoxiao's suspicious gaze, Xie Xi paused with his fingers on her face, then suddenly bent his fingers and tapped her forehead lightly: "Don't let your imagination run wild."

Lu Xiaoxiao:?

Lu Xiaoxiao pretended that her forehead was hurt by the blow, took a step back quickly, and retorted indignantly: "I didn't think about anything just now!"

[Your Highness can't really hear my inner voice. You can't know whether I'm having any random thoughts in my mind or not. Anyway, I won't admit it! ]

Hearing this, Xie Xi almost laughed out loud, but he held back, took a deep breath, and did not refute her words: "Well, I was wrong to blame Xiao Xiao just now. In fact, Xiao Xiao didn't think anything."

"Yeah."

Lu Xiaoxiao should have no guilt at all.

Seeing her so cute, Xie Xi curled his lips, reached out and held her hand, and asked about Granny Xu's situation, "Did Aji come to see you this morning?"

Lu Xiaoxiao hummed and sighed, "It was because Granny Xu suddenly vomited blood this morning that Ah Ji was frightened and rushed to the Prince's Mansion. Fortunately, I specifically told Ah Ji yesterday to come to the Prince's Mansion to find me if he had any problems. Otherwise..."

If Aji hadn't found her and couldn't find a doctor, who knows what would have happened to Grandma Xu.

"Grandma Xu vomited blood?"

Xie Xi didn't expect that just a few hours had passed and Granny Xu's illness had worsened again?

But didn’t Doctor Dong say yesterday that Granny Xu was just too physically depleted?

Seeing His Highness's confusion, Lu Xiaoxiao strode over the threshold and pulled Xie Xi to the other side of the door.

Because Ah Ji was still in the room and she was afraid that he would be sad, Lu Xiaoxiao did not dare to speak too loudly: "Actually, Ah Ji boiled the medicine for treating colds and the medicine prescribed by Doctor Dong together. Doctor Dong said that the properties of the two medicines conflicted. After Granny Xu drank it, her body could not bear it, so she suddenly vomited blood..."

"But this time, Doctor Dong has prescribed a new prescription to treat Granny Xu's current condition."

"Ah."

Xie Xi responded softly and suddenly raised his hand towards Mu Qing.

Mu Qing understood immediately, took out a long box from his sleeve and handed it to his master.

Xie Xi took it and handed it to Lu Xiaoxiao.

Lu Xiaoxiao looked down and asked in a puzzled tone: "Your Highness, what exactly is in this?"

Xie Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "You can open it and take a look."

"it is good."

After opening it, Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened immediately, she raised her head, and looked at Xie Xi in shock: "Your Highness, you..."

Xie Xi: "What's wrong?"

Lu Xiaoxiao suppressed the excitement in her heart and said, "Your Highness, why did you bring the century-old ginseng here?"

"It won't be useful if I keep it in my private storeroom. I might as well give it to Granny Xu so that she can take good care of herself."

Xie Xi smiled and said, "Mrs. Xu has done a favor to my younger sister. I cannot pretend not to see this favor."

"Your Highness, you are so kind!"

Lu Xiaoxiao praised His Highness generously and quickly closed the box. "I'll ask Doctor Dong later how to stew this century-old ginseng for the best effect."

Xie Xi: "Xiaoxiao, I plan to send a maid from my house to take care of Granny Xu. What do you think?"

"Eh?"

Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she suddenly raised her hand and slapped her forehead, suddenly realizing: "Your Highness is really smart, why didn't I think of doing this before?"

The maids in the Prince's Mansion have all been disciplined by the head aunt in the palace. They are able to read people's expressions and act cautiously. If a maid is arranged to take care of Grandma Xu, that would be the most appropriate thing.

After Grandma Xu recovers, the maid will return to the Prince's Mansion.

Lu Xiaoxiao: "But who should we send here? Does Your Highness have a candidate in mind?"

Xie Xi: "Before coming here, I had already asked the housekeeper to do this."

"Okay, the butler has always been reliable in his work. I'm sure he will be able to pick a good candidate."

When she thought of this, Lu Xiaoxiao felt relieved.

"By the way, Granny Xu has woken up. Your Highness, would you like to meet Granny Xu?"

Xie Xi nodded.

Lu Xiaoxiao pulled Xie Xi into the room, leaving Mu Qing alone outside with the sword in his arms.

As soon as Aji, who was sitting beside the bed, saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he immediately stood up and knelt down in front of him. He looked nervous and stuttered a little: "A-Aji kowtows to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

He is no longer a child who knows nothing. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be the next emperor of Li Kingdom, and he cannot be disrespectful in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Moreover, his mother-in-law had taught him and reminded him seriously last night, and he remembered it all.

At the same time, Granny Xu, who was lying on the bed, struggled to get up and salute the Crown Prince.

Lu Xiaoxiao noticed this scene and hurried over to stop Granny Xu from getting up. She frowned and said, "Granny Xu, don't move. You are still very weak now. Don't do anything reckless!"

"But……"

After a pause, Granny Xu looked towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with a hint of apology in her eyes.

"It doesn't matter."

Xie Xi would not care about these little things at all. After all, Grandma Xu's situation was different, and he could not really force Grandma Xu to kneel down and pay her respects.

Xie Xi: "Mrs. Xu, you don't have to care about these empty formalities when you are outside. I hope you can have a good rest and take good care of yourself."

Xie Xi also asked Aji to stand up.

Granny Xu took a look and her expression visibly relaxed. She pursed her lips and asked again, "Your Highness, I wonder if Lin'er..."

Xie Xi: "Don't worry, Granny Xu, Lin'er is fine. Father left the court today just to accompany Lin'er with mother."

"That's fine, that's fine."

After all, she was the one who raised Chunlin, and Granny Xu and Chunlin had a deep relationship. But now, due to Chunlin's status, Granny Xu had no choice but to give in and send the little princess, who originally belonged to the palace, back.

As for whether she could see Lin'er again, she no longer cared.

As long as Lin'er can live well in the future and has no worries about food and clothing, she will be relieved.

But Granny Xu's thoughts were fully revealed on her face. Lu Xiaoxiao and Xie Xi looked at each other, and Lu Xiaoxiao took the lead in speaking to comfort her:

"Don't worry, Granny Xu. Lin'er is living outside the palace, and you raised her. I believe you know Lin'er's temperament very well. When Lin'er can leave the palace, she will definitely come back to see Granny."

Hearing this, Granny Xu smiled and said nothing more.

Ah Ji at the side couldn't help but ask: "Sister Lu, will you really come back to see Ah Ji and mother-in-law?"

Lu Xiaoxiao bent down, raised her hand and rubbed Aji's head, and answered seriously: "Of course, Lin'er will not forget Aji."

As soon as these words came out, Aji shouted loudly: "Then Aji will not forget my sister!"

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile.

After staying in the small courtyard for an hour, Lu Xiaoxiao and Xie Xi saw the housekeeper sending someone over.

Just at this time, Bai Zhi also came back with two servings of medicinal food.

For fear of disturbing Grandma Xu's rest, Lu Xiaoxiao and Xie Xi came out of the room and went to the yard.

"Your Highness, Master, I have bought the medicinal food."

Bai Zhi stepped forward and said.

Even before opening the food box, Lu Xiaoxiao could already smell the strong smell of medicine, and a faint fragrance. It was a combination of both, but she didn't know what the medicinal food tasted like.

Lu Xiaoxiao: "Baizhi, take the medicinal food to the kitchen first."

"Yes, master."

Baizhi picked up the food box and went to the kitchen.

The housekeeper brought five maids with him specially so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could choose personally.

These five maids were all extremely careful and attentive, so if one of them was assigned to look after an old lady, there would surely be no mistakes.

The housekeeper said respectfully, "Which maidservant do you think is more suitable to stay in this courtyard?"

Xie Xi: “…”

He had clearly handed the matter over to the butler, but the butler still wanted him to select the people himself?

Xie Xi frowned and was about to scold the housekeeper, but suddenly he felt his sleeve being pulled, and he subconsciously looked down.

Just as he met Lu Xiaoxiao's gaze, he saw her gently shaking her head, as if trying to calm him down.

Xie Xi pursed his lips.

Lu Xiaoxiao tugged at his sleeve again, coughed lightly and said, "Your Highness, why don't you let me choose?"

"it is good."

Xie Xi replied, "Xiaoxiao, you can choose any maid you want. Then I'll leave this important matter to Xiaoxiao."

Lu Xiaoxiao patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I'm here. I can definitely choose the smartest maid for Granny Xu!"

Xie Xi: “…”

housekeeper:"……"

The five maids looked at each other: "..."

Who is the smartest among them?

Will Master Lu really know?

However, Lu Xiaoxiao was just saying it casually.

From among the five maids, Lu Xiaoxiao picked a woman with a gentle face and average looks. In terms of appearance, she was much inferior to the other four maids.

"Butler, what is the name of this maid?"

Before he finished speaking, and before the housekeeper could reply, the maid spoke first, "Master Lu, my name is Xiaofeng, and I was originally in charge of the front yard of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

In fact, he is responsible for cleaning the front yard of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Xiaofeng would only appear in the front yard when cleaning; the rest of the time, she would help in the big kitchen.

After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like maids staying in the front yard for too long.

Once seen by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, having her monthly salary deducted would be the lightest punishment. If a maid dared to play any tricks in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the butler would directly kick her out.

Someone had been driven out of the mansion before, and now was living a miserable life. With the lessons learned from the past, the maids in the mansion now acted cautiously and did not dare to have any ill intentions towards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

They don't deserve it, nor do they dare to be presumptuous.

"Xiao Feng? That's a nice name."

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement: "Xiaofeng, before you came here, did the housekeeper tell you what you were going to do here?"

Xiao Feng: “Yes.”

Now the housekeeper was standing next to her. Even if she didn't have it, she had to say it. "Master Lu, the housekeeper told me that I came here to take care of an old lady's daily life. I was responsible for cleaning the yard, decocting medicine, and feeding the old lady medicine on weekdays..."

"Exactly."

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Xiaofeng seriously, and then continued: "Xiaofeng, do you think you can do these things well?"

Xiao Feng replied nervously: "Master Lu, don't worry, I won't be lazy."

"Well, Xiaofeng, it's you."

Lu Xiaoxiao still believed in the housekeeper's eyes. The housekeeper had already done the screening. The five maids standing in front of them should all have outstanding abilities in various aspects, and Xiaofeng should not be bad either.

Xiao Feng responded obediently.

After Lu Xiaoxiao selected the maids, the housekeeper took the four maids back to the Prince's Mansion.

Xiao Feng stood there anxiously, waiting for instructions.

But at this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Master Lu were silent. Xiao Feng pursed her lips tightly, not knowing what she should do first.

Lu Xiaoxiao: "Xiaofeng, do you know my maid Baizhi?"

Xiao Feng nodded quickly: "I know Miss Bai Zhi. I wonder why Master Lu asked about this?"

"Bai Zhi is in the kitchen right now, why don't you go and take a look there too?"

The two portions of medicinal food were placed in the kitchen. One portion was to be fed to Granny Xu, and the remaining portion was for Lu Xiaoxiao to taste herself...

Lu Xiaoxiao wanted to know, after Xiaofeng went to the kitchen and saw Baizhi was already busy, what would she do?

"Yes, Master Lu, I will go right away."

Xiaofeng didn't know that Master Lu was testing her.

After agreeing, Xiao Feng wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but just as she took a step, she suddenly remembered: "Master Lu, I wonder where the kitchen in this courtyard is?"
