princess is fine

Xiao Rongxuan looked at the figure who left alone after the next court, gave Xi Fengshu a few words of advice, and then walked quickly towards Xiao Rongcan, but his footsteps stopped abruptly when he saw Wu Minghao.

Xiao Rongcan's gaze passed Wu Minghao and landed on Xiao Rongxuan who had stopped in his tracks, without a trace of the warmth of the past.

Wu Minghao looked at Xiao Rongcan's expression, and turned around to follow Xiao Rongcan's gaze: "So it's His Highness the Third Highness."

Xiao Rongxuan nodded, but didn't answer, just looked at Xiao Rongcan.

Wu Minghao gave a dry laugh: "Your Highnesses are busy first, and I'm leaving." After finishing speaking, he quietly retreated, leaving the two brothers to stand facing each other.

"You, you haven't been to my house for several days." Xiao Rongxuan pretended to be relaxed and said: "Before you returned to Beijing, you said in your letter that you missed the osmanthus wine from Zuixianglou, so I buried a few jars under the tree in the backyard. .”

There was no trace of emotion on Xiao Rongcan's face, he turned his eyes away from looking at Xiao Rongxuan: "It's just talking casually, please don't worry about it."

Xiao Rongxuan's eyes were a bit gloomy, he put aside this topic, and asked again: "I heard from my mother that the imperial concubine has not been in good health recently, but I haven't visited her yet, so I don't know how she is now?"

Only then did Xiao Rongcan's complexion change a bit, but he paused for a moment, and finally said: "Don't worry, Mother Concubine just feels cold occasionally, these days are much better."

"That's good." Xiao Rongxuan said unintentionally: "I also said that I want Xi Chao to come into the palace to show the imperial concubine, it seems that there is no need." When he said this, he looked at Xiao Rongcan's face seriously, but did not Didn't notice any change in his expression, just responded slightly, and turned around to leave.

Xiao Rongxuan didn't keep him either, but frowned slightly as he watched his back gradually go away. It seemed that the second brother didn't know about Xi Chao's matter.That's okay... Xiao Rongxuan sighed, no matter what, he would not involve innocent people in it.

……

The pain in his body swept across his whole body like a wave, Xi Chao had to bite the tip of his tongue so that his consciousness would not be swept away by the piercing pain.Her eyes were a little foggy due to sweat, she blinked a few times, and then opened them with difficulty and turned to old man Shen who was standing aside.

Old man Shen didn't look at her, but stared at a simple hourglass on the table, counting down gently in his mouth: "Seven, six, five..."

Hearing his countdown voice, Xi Chao was just about to speak, but when the voice "two, one!" fell to the ground, the sudden great pain came again, and Xi Chao couldn't help but yelled, but it stopped quickly down.

There were muffled hums in her chest, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably. Her body, which had been covered in cold sweat just now, broke out in sweat again because of the piercing pain.

Since she was a child, Xi Chao had never suffered from this kind of pain. When the third wave of pain hit her, she finally couldn't help closing her eyes and her face was wet. For a while, Xi Chao didn't understand, Was it the cold sweat from the pain, or the tears from the torture.

Seeing her appearance, old man Shen nodded slightly with some satisfaction: "Well, I also know that yelling will only consume your physical strength, but your mind is a bit stronger than others."

It's a pity that Xi Chao couldn't hear these words. Of course, even if he heard it, Xi Chao didn't have the strength to answer him. Before he fainted from the pain, Xi Chao still thought: such a painful method, I'm afraid I don't have to wait for the old guy to try out the antidote , I'm about to die...

In the evening, the pain finally subsided for a while, and Xi Chao lay on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling, unable to recover for a long time.Her consciousness of being tortured at the moment is still a little loose. Although she is sober, her mind is out of control, and she doesn't even know what to think about.

Only when there was a creaking sound of the door opening next to her ear, Xi Chao regained his composure and looked at old man Shen who came in with a medicine bowl.

"Are you awake?" Old Man Shen asked in a deep voice.

Xi Chao gave him a look, what do you think.

"Ghost girl, you are more energetic now." Old man Shen handed the medicine to Xi Chao: "Here, drink it yourself."

Xi Chao moved his fingers, with an innocent look on his face: "I can't get up."

Old man Shen sneered, and took out a silver needle from his bosom: "I remember that there is an acupuncture point on the human body..."

"Ahhh, that..." Xi Chao shook his head quickly: "I will try my best, try my best..." As he said that, he was struggling to get up, but his limbs were already sore and limp after a day of pain. The two days of medication were too much.

Xi Chao glanced at it, turned over simply, lay down on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand and said, "Let's do it this way."

Old man Shen handed her the medicine, and asked with some sarcasm: "Are you really the third lady of Xi's mansion? You look like a female bandit from some mountain."

Xi Chao silently slandered: You are the bandit!Your whole family are bandits!However, he still put the medicine bowl to his mouth resignedly, but after smelling that special smell, he paused.

"Senior, you..." Xi Chao said embarrassingly, "You just don't want to detoxify me, so you don't have to hurt me like this..." The smell is clearly ten thousand poisonous weeds, and this thing, even by its name, is extremely poisonous.

Old man Shen glanced at her: "Do you want to drink or not?"

Xi Chao glanced at the medicine, then at old man Shen, hesitating.

Unsurprisingly, Old Man Shen didn't scare people with his silver needles this time. Instead, he sat at the table, snorted angrily, and said, "What you learned in the medicine house is nothing but bullshit!"

Xi Chao blinked, and said that she was used to listening to old man Shen who slandered the medicine house three times a day and was more punctual than eating.

Sure enough, the old man Shen cursed angrily before calming down, looking at Xi Chao: "Who told you, these ten thousand poisonous weeds must be harmful to people, thanks to your years of studying medicine, don't you know that medicine and poison are not separated from each other? ?”

Xi Chao was still lying there, pretending he didn't hear anything, silently took a sip of the medicine in the bowl.

"Don't say it's a poisonous weed, even if it's the poison of the red golden scorpion in you, it may be a good medicine in the future." Seeing her obediently drinking the medicine, the old man Shen calmed down a little, and continued: "The medicine house taught you how to treat it." Yes, it is the prefect who keeps the rules. As everyone knows, the rules are set by the predecessors. If the predecessors did not break the rules, do you really think that the medicines we use today are all grown in the ground?"

Xi Chao naturally understands these principles. Speaking of which, she is the most unruly among the juniors in Yaolu. If the way of getting acquainted with old man Shen is not too unusual, probably, she would like this old man's temper very much.

However, the red golden beetle can also be used as a good medicine like this ten thousand poisonous weeds... This kind of statement is really breaking the rules.

Probably because he was used to the smell of herbs on weekdays, so he didn't feel that the bowl of medicine in his hand was too bitter. Xi Chao quickly finished drinking and handed the bowl to old man Shen.

Old man Shen took the medicine bowl and said lightly: "You are in good condition today, but I don't know if you will still be like this after seven days?"

Xi Chao turned to Old Man Shen blankly: "Seven days?"

"The best one lasted until the sixth day." Old man Shen smiled slightly and looked at Xi Chao: "I wish you good luck."

Xi Chao suddenly felt a little hopeless, his head drooped weakly, and then he raised it up suddenly: "Hey, old man!"

Old man Shen frowned, but thought that after six days, this person might not have the chance to be so arrogant again, so he tolerated it a bit: "Why, you have to confess your last words now?"

Xi Chao nodded.

Old man Shen raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

……

Xi's study.

"Is that person's surname Shen?" Xi Fengshu thought for a while, then shook his head: "I have been an official for many years, so it is impossible to say that no one has turned against me. But I don't have much impression of someone with the surname Shen."

"I don't think it's because of Mr. Xi. Your Highness has already sent me to investigate this matter, Mr. Xi, don't worry about it." The person in front of Xi Fengshu, who was dressed in black, was Ye Xing.

He was ordered by the princess to hide beside Xi Chao to protect her safety, but he didn't want to make such a big mistake.Fortunately, the Third Highness thought that he was always loyal, and this time it was not intentional, so he sent him to atone for his crimes and find out the whereabouts of Miss Xi Chao.

Xi Fengshu sighed, with unspeakable worry in his eyes.Regarding Xi Chao's travels, he and his wife never let go of their hearts. It's just that Xi Chao's temperament is too similar to his father who traveled abroad, so it can't be persuaded by a few words.

Ye Xing glanced at Xi Fengshu, cupped his hands and said: "Master Xi, don't worry, I will definitely bring Xi Chao back."

Xi Fengshu nodded slightly: "Please take care of Guard Ye." Then he sent him out.

Just turning around, he saw Xi Ye standing outside the study with his wife supported, Xi Fengshu was startled, and walked forward quickly in surprise: "Madam!"

"Xi Fengshu, let me ask you, where is Chao'er now?!" Mrs. Xi looked at Xi Fengshu with her beautiful eyes flushed, "That's my daughter, why are you hiding it from me!"

Xi Fengshu quickly reached out and grabbed Madam Xi's hands: "Madam, don't worry, listen to my explanation..."

Mrs. Xi was just about to break free when she heard Xi Ye persuaded: "Mother, listen to what's going on first, she will be well-fed, and nothing will happen." Although Xi Ye was also anxious, But now he can only appease his mother first.

Xi Fengshu held his wife's hands and helped her into the study.

After finishing talking about Xi Chao, Xi Fengshu looked at his wife and saw that she was looking out of the window without speaking.

"lady……"

"mother……"

Both Xi Fengshu and Xi Ye called out worriedly.

Mrs. Xi then turned her head, looked at the two of them, shook her head slightly and said, "I have been dreaming for the past few days, dreaming about the time when Xi Chao was seriously ill when he was a child, and dreaming that she entered the palace alone... Perhaps from the very beginning, this child's fate was more difficult than others..."

"Bong Shu..." Mrs. Xi raised her eyes to look at her husband: "You, would you like to promise me something?"

"Madam, please tell me." Xi Fengshu looked at her.

"When Chao'er comes back, how about... let's go back to our hometown? These royal nobles, our Xi family can't afford to provoke them." Mrs. Xi said firmly: "You don't need to say, I also know that Chao'er's accident this time, You must be inseparable from His Highness..."
