princess is fine

"Clean up, let's go back." Sun Lao looked at Xi Chao whose eyes lit up again, and said with relief: "It's a good thing that you can understand the depression in your heart. But I can't keep you anymore."

Hearing this, Xi Chao had a look of guilt on his face: "It's Zhao'er who is not good, and Grandpa Sun is worried. But the journey to Jinzhou has been delayed for the past few days, and Chao'er will come back quickly."

"This is second. Her Highness's physical condition, that's all I can say. Her body is neither sick nor injured, because the poison has permeated the inside, but His Highness is weaker than ordinary people. Such a situation, but It is the most difficult one. Among the several old friends in Jinzhou, there was one who was very proficient in using medicine to nourish his health. It is a pity that he left the medicine house many years ago because of an old incident. Now it is difficult to find him again."

"Is there really such a senior?" Xi Chao was a little curious: "Why have I never heard of this from the people in the medicine house?" , so that fluffy body can feel better.

"That old friend is not only good at medicine, but also good at poison. As the saying goes, medicine is three-point poisonous. Naturally, he must consider the toxicity of the medicine when he uses it to maintain his health, but the toxicity of the medicine must be used on people. It manifested itself. So he made a rule that if he saved a person, he would ask that person to try the medicine for him once, regardless of life or death. Because most of the people who came to him were poisoned, and there was only one way to die, so he agreed, no matter what. It's a mixture of life and death. But such an approach, after all, violated the original intention of the medicine house. The elders at that time raised objections to him, but that person was rebellious and unwilling to obey others by nature, so he proposed to fight with the most responsible person at the time. It is a famous senior competition, if he wins, these people can no longer ask him what he does."

"Then later, this senior lost? So he left the medicine house?" Xi Chao guessed.

Elder Sun stroked his beard and said: "Although we lost, it was not honorable for Yaolu to win at that time." As if thinking of the past, Elder Sun's eyes became a little dark, but they changed in a moment, he saw Said to the curious Xi Chao: "It's useless to inquire about these past events. You, you should go back to the medicine house and ask those old guys, maybe they will have some ideas."

Xi Chao put away his curiosity and nodded solemnly: "I will definitely ask the seniors for advice!"

"That's good." Sun Lao patted Xi Chao's shoulder: "Go back. Be careful along the way."

"En." Xi Chao saluted Sun Laoduan, got up and said, "Grandpa Sun, I'm going."

Elder Sun nodded and waved his hand.

When Xi Chao came home, he asked the concierge, and learned that the Princess Mansion hadn't sent anyone to inform him these few days, so he felt a little sad.What happened to His Highness to enter the palace for such a long time, and he didn't even have time to inform himself.

She went back to the house dejectedly, and only after Xi Fengshu returned home in the afternoon did she understand the situation in the past few days.

The contention for the position of the crown prince has intensified, and the court has been buzzing because of this, but Emperor Yonghe has not decided for a long time which prince will inherit the great treasure.

"Your Highness, the princess, is probably worrying about this for the past few days. After you bid farewell, don't bother Your Highness anymore." Xi Fengshu seemed to have thought of something, and turned around to give Xi Chao a command.

When Xi Chao heard his father talk about the situation in the court, there was no reason why he didn't understand.She nodded and said: "Chao'er can save you. I have explained the farewell that day, and I don't need to go to her house to bother you anymore. Tomorrow, I will leave for Jinzhou."

Xi Fengshu nodded: "At this moment, it would be a good thing for you to leave Jian'an."

Although Xi Chao was a little puzzled, seeing that his father had already turned to talk to his elder brother, he put the question aside.

She went back to the room, looked at the packed luggage, and sat at the table in a daze.

Xi Chao accidentally looked into the mirror, his eyes fell on the jade hairpin in his hair, as if remembering something, he took it off again and held it in his hand.

She usually goes out and walks in men's clothing for convenience, so it might be inappropriate to wear this hairpin then.It was just that I wanted to take it off and put it away, but thinking about the owner of the hairpin, Xi Chao felt a little rippling in his heart, Your Highness...

There was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the door, and before Xi Chao stood up to open the door, his own door had already been pushed open.Xi Ye's voice had already floated into the room accompanied by people: "Chao'er, the princess is here!"

Probably because she was in a hurry, she was panting slightly when she spoke, and seeing Xi Chao's unresponsive appearance, she hurriedly shouted again: "His Royal Highness is here, I'm here to look for you!"

Only then did Xi Chao regain his senses, the jade hairpin was still tightly held in his hand.

Xi Ye wanted to say something, but Xi Chao's eyes suddenly skipped her and fell a little behind her.Xi Ye noticed something, and turned around to see Xiao Rongjin standing at the door.

Xi Ye turned her body slightly, and for some reason, she always felt that Chao'er's staring eyes suddenly lit up when she saw the person behind her.Such slightly dazzling eyes always made her feel a little familiar, a little unspeakable.

"Chao'er, stay with Your Highness well." She said something softly, then turned around and saluted Xiao Rongjin, and then she backed away when she nodded slightly.

As soon as Xi Ye left, Xi Chao couldn't control his steps and walked towards Xiao Rongjin.

"You...you are back." After saying this sentence, Xi Chao only felt that he was very much like the infatuated and resentful girl in the play. This sentence sounded like a sad breath.

Without saying a word, Xiao Rongjin embraced her leaning body, and then let Xi Chao reach out to hug him back, letting the strength of that embrace deepen little by little.

Xiao Rongjin's unknown fatigue these days, Xi Chao's uncontrollable worries these days, they all exchanged and comforted each other at this moment.

When the temperature of the two of them was about to merge into one, Xiao Rongjin gently stroked Fu Xichao's back: "Are you leaving?"

Only then did Xi Chao turn his head, looked at Xiao Rongjin who was quietly nearby, and nodded imperceptibly.

Although Xiao Rongjin had already heard the news from Xi Fengshu, but when he confirmed it from Xi Chao, he still felt a little lost in his heart.At that time, she didn't like to confess this uncontrolled emotion to others.So Xiao Rongjin just slowly loosened the arm around Xi Chao, lowered his eyes slightly and said: "Be careful on the road after this trip."

When Xi Chao heard this, his heart trembled again.She reached out and grabbed Xiao Rongjin's wrist, and pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed, then knelt down in front of her and held her hands.

Xiao Rongjin had already noticed the jade hairpin in Xi Chao's hand, and now seeing her lying in front of her, she asked again, "Why are you holding this hairpin for nothing?"

Xi Chao looked at the hairpin in his hand, and smiled slightly: "See things and think about others."

Xiao Rongjin's slightly lowered eyes trembled, she reached out her hand to caress Xi Chao's cheek, but she just took the hairpin and said: "Then take it away, after all, you will be leaving tomorrow."

Xi Chao's eyes also fell on the hairpin, and she pointed out: "Although this jade hairpin is fragile, if it is carefully preserved, it can be retained even for thousands of years." Speaking of this, she paused Looking at Xiao Rongjin again: "Your Highness said so?"

"Without affection, even if it can last for thousands of years, it is just a dead thing." How could Xiao Rongjin understand what she meant: "Life is only a few decades, and some things cannot be escaped. Do whatever it takes."

"Even at the price of my own life?" Xi Chao finally couldn't hold it back: "Will the person who prescribes the medicine not explain to His Highness about the medicinal properties of Ivy Orchid? You are willing to spend several days of energy Do you want to exchange your lives for the next few years?" When she said this, her right hand was tightly clenched, but she still couldn't suppress the sadness in it.

Xiao Rongjin turned her head away, not looking at Xi Chao's expression at this time, and the explanation in her mouth was as smooth as usual: "Xuan'er needs me at this time. I have to do these things."

Xi Chao felt as if her heart was being flooded by icy water, and felt extremely cold. She stood up slowly, looked at Xiao Rongjin, and said with some difficulty: "For Your Highness, everything, including your own life, Can't compare to the needs of the Third Highness?"

Before Xiao Rongjin explained, Xi Chao's voice had already darkened: "But if the Third Highness knows that you are helping him like this, how will he feel? Will he let you make such a stupid deal?"

"Your Highness, you are Her Royal Highness, but you are also Xiao Rongjin, his sister Xiao Rongxuan. If he only cares about that position, he is not worthy of you doing all this for him!" Xi Chao's voice was a little raised, but slowly lowered. He settled down: "I should have known that in your heart, the most important thing is the world, followed by Xiao Rongxuan. As for me, I dare not ask too much for my position in your heart, but you are fluffy, my fluffy , how can I be willing, how can I be willing to see you sacrifice yourself for those illusory rights?" Xi Chao's voice became hoarse, and in the end, Xiao Rongjin felt as if he could hear her crying that she tried her best to hide but still couldn't hide, but that person His face was still dull and dry, with no trace of tears in sight.

"Your Highness," Xi Chao swallowed slightly, and met Xiao Rongjin's gaze: "Can you let yourself go?"
