Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

"Where did these two beads come from? I can only find a chance to explore." She murmured to herself, and then carefully put them away.

Baili Yan has been missing for three days, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, and no one knows where he is.

Under Tao Qiming's careful treatment, most of the poison in Empress Xian's body had been eliminated. Now, she only needed to take the medicine on time, and the remaining toxins would dissipate on their own.

Although she regained consciousness, Concubine Xian's face was still pale and weak.

"Your Majesty..." The old lady's voice was full of gratitude and trembling with excitement.

To Empress Xian, the experiences during this period were as vague as a dream. Her memory was frozen at half a month ago. She asked in disbelief, "You said I was poisoned?"

The old lady nodded and confirmed: "Thanks to the help of Miss Ye and Doctor Tao, the queen was able to escape from danger!"

Empress Xian held her chest, looking a little confused. At this time, Tao Qiming stepped forward to say goodbye, because he was no longer needed here. More importantly, he was not used to dressing in women's clothes, and felt very awkward, and was eager to change back into his own clothes.

"Thank you for your reward." He accepted the box of treasures handed to him without hesitation.

After all, curing illnesses and saving lives is his job, not to mention that a lot of precious medicinal materials were consumed this time.

"I will always remember the kindness that Doctor Tao has shown me. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, please let me know."

"Okay, your majesty." Tao Qiming agreed readily.

"So you're going to leave today?"

"Yes, since I don't need to continue the acupuncture, I should go back and report."

Empress Xian nodded gently, looking calm on the outside, but her heart was in turmoil. She clutched her handkerchief tightly, her eyes fixed on the silent woman beside her.

Although no words were spoken between the two, the air was filled with unfinished business.

In the end, Empress Xian just bit her lip lightly and didn't say anything to persuade him to stay. Feeling a little disappointed and reluctant, Aliang mustered up the courage to speak: "Your Majesty, I have to leave too."

Concubine Xian raised her head suddenly, her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

At that moment, she could have asked Aliang to stay.

She wanted to keep Aliang by her side to make up for the regrets of the past twenty years. However, fate played tricks on them and they could not recognize each other after all.

For Aliang, the free world outside the palace is what she yearns for. Although she has never spoken these days, every night she can always be seen climbing up the high rockery and looking at the world in the distance.

Even though one is taken care of in every possible way in the palace, it cannot compare to the simple and pure freedom outside.

After a long time, Empress Xian finally calmed down and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work during this period."

Aliang lowered his head, his eyelashes trembling slightly, "My queen, please take care of yourself too."

Although the words between the two were light, it was like an invisible gap between them, difficult to cross. Liang subconsciously clenched his fists, and his knuckles turned white.

"Let's go quickly and don't keep Miss Ye waiting for too long!" Tao Qiming urged, obviously feeling very uncomfortable in the women's clothing.

When leaving the palace where Concubine Xian was, Aliang couldn't help but stop and look back. He saw Concubine Xian standing alone on the high platform, her eyes closely following their leaving figures.

At that moment, Aliang stared at the woman intently, trying to imprint her appearance deeply in his mind.

Until she could no longer see Aliang's back, Empress Xian did not move a step, her face full of sadness.

The old lady advised worriedly: "Madam, it's windy here, please go back and rest."

Concubine Xian responded dumbly: "Aunt Cui, I had a chance to keep her."

The nanny knew in her heart that over the years, the queen's self-blame for not fulfilling her responsibilities as a mother had become increasingly severe, and the pain had never dissipated.

Now that she has finally found her daughter, she cannot recognize her because of her identity. She can only call out her daughter's name when she is confused due to illness. She claims to have no memory, but in fact, the days she spent with Aliang are as clear as yesterday.

"Aunt Cui, it's really ironic that I can only call her name when I lose my mind; after I sober up, I can only keep my distance and can no longer treat her as well as I would my own child.

Sometimes I really hope that I will never recover, so that I can keep her by my side."

"Your Majesty..." The old nanny didn't know how to comfort her and could only silently accompany Empress Xian as she immersed herself in deep sorrow.

Tears glistened in Empress Xian's eyes. "But I know I can't do this."

"I'm sorry to Aliang and Yan'er."

Over the years, Yan'er's filial piety has already touched Empress Xian's heart. In her heart, he has long been as important as her own son.

Her relatives are on both the palms and backs of her hands, which makes it difficult for her to make a decision.

"I owe Ah Liang too much, and I can never repay her in this lifetime. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely double compensate her, if there is an afterlife."

Empress Xian whispered to herself, tears silently sliding down her cheeks, with cold tear marks all over them.

The old nanny did not say anything to comfort her, but just sighed softly and stood silently by the side accompanying Concubine Xian.

Outside the palace, Ye Yunzi was waiting to greet them.

As soon as Tao Qiming left the palace, he could not wait to take off his disguise and reveal his true face. The instantaneous change was amazing.

Ye Yunzi smiled and said to him, "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Tao."

"No, no, the poison in Empress Xian's body is really rare. This time I learned a lot, which is very helpful for studying toxins. I believe that a new antidote will be developed soon."

There was a gleam of excitement in Tao Qiming's eyes. It seemed that the work in the past few days not only did not make him tired, but made him more energetic.

The old nanny respected him very much, prepared different kinds of food for him every day, and took good care of him. Upon closer observation, Tao Qiming was even fatter than before he entered the palace.

Ye Yunzi knew clearly that with Concubine Xian being safe and sound, the conspiracy of the Fourth Prince and Shen Yuming had been shattered. What actions would they take next?

At this time, Aliang remained silent.

Ye Yunzi didn't notice anything unusual at first because she was usually taciturn. But she soon noticed that Aliang had a serious expression and it was obvious that he had something on his mind.

"Aliang?" Ye Yunzi asked with concern, thinking that she had been wronged in the palace.

Ah Liang came back to his senses and held the purse tightly in his hand for a while before speaking: "Miss Ye."

Then she handed the purse to Ye Yunzi.

"What is this?" Ye Yunzi took the purse and felt two round objects inside.

"I want to ask you something, Miss."

"Go ahead, tell me if you need any help."

"May I ask where did the night-shining pearl in the Seventh Prince's hand come from?" Aliang said, looking down at his purse.

Ye Yunzi opened her purse and found two crystal clear, high-quality night pearls inside.
