I was a princess in ancient times

"Aye!" Qi Baizhi found the British Duke who was looking up at the peach tree in a daze in the gazebo of the main courtyard, and the joy on his brows was beyond words.

He held up the wooden box with both hands and showed it to the British public, "Doctor Yang said that this century-old exotic snow lotus will keep Auntie safe for at least five years!"

Seeing that the British Duke hadn't responded for a long time, Qi Baizhi's eyes flashed with worry, and he persuaded, "Auntie and younger brother, auspicious people have their own auspiciousness, and they will surely survive this calamity safely. Please also cherish yourself and don't worry too much. You If they fall down, what will my son and third brother do?"

"Da Lang, you are the eldest son." The British Duke said calmly.

Qi Baizhi smiled wryly, and suddenly didn't know what to say or what to say.

He is the eldest son.

has no meaning?

If the Duke of England suddenly falls, how many courtiers and members of the Qi clan can accept him presiding over the big and small affairs of the Duke of England?

The two looked at each other silently for a long time, Qi Baizhi couldn't bear the suffocating silence, turned around and fled, leaving a hurried sentence, "I'll make medicine for Auntie."

"Wait!" Duke Ying grabbed Qi Baizhi's arm, his eyes were not as distracted by worry and melancholy as Qi Baizhi imagined, on the contrary they were brighter and sharper than the man in his prime.

His words were brief and firm, without giving Qi Baizhi any room for negotiation, "Send this exotic snow lotus to Liufang."

Qi Baizhi was stunned, staring blankly at the Englishman, feeling unprecedented doubts about his ears.

Send it to the sixth room?

What about Auntie?

Without this exotic snow lotus, A Niang would only have half a month to live!

"Aye?" Qi Baizhi silently squeezed the wooden box containing the century-old exotic snow lotus, and said incoherently, "Brother, there are Feng Lang and His Royal Highness sitting in charge in person, if the century-old exotic snow lotus is effective, Feng Lang and Fifth Highness will definitely not It’s stingy. This is Mother’s life-saving medicine, how can I give it to Brother? Besides, Brother wants to die, Mother is different! She doesn’t want to…”

The British Duke ruthlessly interrupted Qi Baizhi, "Snow lotus can grow for a hundred years, it is already a great fortune. The Goddess Peak is far away from the commercial roads of the Western Regions, almost isolated from the world. Even in the palace, there is no second century-old Goddess Snow Lotus. "

Now, the British government has spent countless manpower and material resources searching for this century-old goddess snow lotus for ten years!

From the time when the British duchess can be cured with medication, until now, even with medication, it can only guarantee five years of worry-free life.

With Princess Anguo's mansion controlling the commercial routes in the Western Regions, it is not impossible to find the hundred-year-old goddess Snow Lotus, but no one can predict the time to complete this matter.

It would take half a month just to transmit the order to search for the hundred-year-old goddess Snow Lotus from Chang'an to Yecheng beyond Yumen Pass.

Qi Boxuan couldn't afford to wait, and neither could the Duke and Duchess of England.

Qi Baizhi never imagined that one day he would hear such cold and heartless words from the British public.

why?

What is the difference between this and choosing the younger brother between A Niang and the younger brother, and watching A Niang die?

Qi Boxuan didn't want to live at all!

Otherwise, how could he still be obsessed with women and drink too much when he was dying of illness.As long as Aye and Aniang didn't pay attention to him for a while, his condition would get worse because he didn't follow the orders of the imperial physician and the government physician.

However, in order to preserve the efficacy of the medicine, A Niang didn't even dare to eat the sweet rock candy and dried fruit. Instead, because of getting angry with Qi Baixuan, her energy deteriorated day by day.

I knew so...

Qi Baizhi wished that Qi Baixuan could die in the south of the Yangtze River.

"This is obviously the medicine I found for Auntie." Qi Baizhi slammed Yingying Gong's hand away, and the veins on the side of his neck were clearly visible, "Auntie has been looking forward to it for ten years, ten years!"

The British Duke took two steps back and scolded, "What nonsense?"

"Do you think I'm willing to make such a decision?" The old brows and eyes were gradually stained with deep sorrow, "I can only blame you for slapping Feng Lang to Princess Anguo's mansion, and now you want to live and die in the Qi family. At this moment, we can only rely on Liulang to win back Fenglang's heart."

Mr. Ying said to the stunned Qi Baizhi, "Yunniang favors you the most. Ever since you were young, when did you make a mistake and didn't Yunniang clean up the mess for you?"

Duke Ying's words were like sharp knives, piercing directly into the softest part of Qi Baizhi's chest.

The panic in Qi Baizhi's eyes became more and more intense

He couldn't accept that the British Duke gave up the British Duke and his wife because of Qi Boxuan.

It is even more unacceptable that he is the culprit who prompted the British government to make this decision.

This made Qi Baizhi couldn't help thinking, if he hadn't responded perfunctorily to the orders of the British Duke and his wife all these years, gave up his dignity to coax Yu Heng, and coaxed Yu Heng back to the British government.

Wouldn't the Duke of England today make the decision to watch the Duke and Duchess of England die because of Qi Bai?

The confidant boy who was guarding the gazebo received the British man's wink and reached out to the wooden box that Qi Baizhi was holding.

"Get out!" Qi Baizhi kicked the boy away fiercely, the fierceness in his eyes almost turned into reality.

However, facing the old British face full of disappointment, Qi Baizhi's newly mustered courage immediately withered like a hole in a rice bag.

He hugged Ying Yinggong's knee and begged bitterly, "Can you share the snow lotus with Auntie? At least let Auntie... the days to come are easier."

The British Duke smoothed Qi Baizhi's messy hair from his temples, and the helplessness in his eyes almost turned into reality.

"Dalang, after all these years, you are still so indecisive, how can I rest assured that I will entrust you with the burden of the family?"

Qi Baizhi looked bewildered.

To this day, can he still take over the burden of the family?

But... what does this have to do with not being able to divide the century-old goddess Xuelian equally between A Niang and Qi Baixuan?

He had already disappointed Aye very much, and he couldn't let Aye down even more.

Qi Baizhi swallowed the question on his lips, and holding the wooden box containing the century-old goddess Snow Lotus, he stumbled towards the sixth room.

Not long ago, the confidant servant who was kicked away by Qi Baizhi quietly returned to Ying Yinggong, and asked in a low voice, "Slave following?"

In order not to violate Dalang's yin and yang, he secretly hides the century-old goddess Xuelian.

The British Duke shook his head, with almost indiscernible disappointment in his indifferent eyes, "He dare not."

It's a pity that he and Yunniang are not stupid, but the children they raise are more than one... Dalang is cowardly, Saburo is useless, and Liulang is smart when he was young, but now he is even more ridiculous than Saburo.

Thinking that there would be no century-old goddess Snow Lotus, and only half a month's life for his old wife, the Duke of England was deeply saddened, and two turbid tears fell from his head.

On the other side, six rooms.

Qi Baizhi sent the century-old goddess Xuelian in time, and the imperial physician and imperial physician who had already euphemistically persuaded Yu Heng to mourn were cheered up again.They wrote out the prescription as quickly as possible, and the imperial doctor personally boiled the medicine and made the last struggle.

Ji Xinxue ordered Qingzhu to call Imperial Physician Zhu over and inquire carefully about Qi Baixuan's situation.

Imperial Physician Zhu stroked his messy beard slowly, and said in a low voice, "The Goddess Peak is almost isolated from the world, and the medicinal materials produced there are more effective than other places, and the hundred-year-old snow lotus is a rare treasure, but..."

From the corner of his eye, he peeked at Yu Heng who had remained silent all this time, rarely hesitating whether he should tell the truth.

Silently, Ji Xinxue clasped the hand that was intertwined with Yu Heng's ten fingers, and asked, "Just what? Just say it, even if Fenglang has something that doesn't go your way, he won't get angry with you."

Doctor Zhu bowed and bowed.

"Frozen three feet is not a day's cold. Qi Honglu's various diseases have accumulated for at least ten years, and all internal organs have varying degrees of stasis. It has reached the point where it can only be blocked and cannot be repaired. Even with a thousand years of magic The medicine can only hold Qi Honglu's last breath."

Ji Xinxue asked bluntly, "How long can you hang?"

"I can't tell. Qi Honglu has already stepped half of his foot into the gate of hell, and we can only choose to dispense medicine based on experience." Zhu Taiyi smiled wryly, and tried to explain in words that Ji Xinxue and Yu Heng could understand, "This snow lotus can Boil five medicines, if the first medicine can bet on the right prescription, five medicines, you can hang for three years. If the first medicine can only renew your breath, four medicines, you can hang for two years."

Disappointment appeared in Ji Xinxue's eyes.

In the best case, it can help Qi Boxuan extend his life by three years.

"Worst case scenario, what's the outcome?" he asked.

Imperial Physician Zhu's face twitched unnaturally, and after a long silence, he spoke like a mosquito, "Before the five doses of medicine were finished, Qi Honglu had already..."

Yu Heng, who was like a sculpture, finally reacted,

He turned his head slowly and stared at Imperial Physician Zhu with fixed eyes. Although he didn't speak, it made Imperial Physician Zhu at a loss what to do, and he didn't even dare to vent his breath.

Ji Xinxue 'bah' several times, trying to drive away the bad luck.

Not long after, Ji Jingrou and Ji Mingtong hurried over with the reward from the Tranquility Palace, and met Ji Cheng at the gate, who was also carrying medicinal materials.

The two of them paused for a while, but after all, there was no such thing as Wuyin 300 taels, and they quickly walked to the sixth room with the servant leading the way.

When noon came, the Sixth Court of the British Government was already full of juniors from the clan and aristocratic children who had heard the news.Even Yu Ran and Yu Feng, who were still staying in Chang'an, rushed to the British government after receiving the news.

The first medicine failed, and Qi Baixuan's condition continued to deteriorate at a frightening speed.

The second medicine was still not considered a success, but fortunately, this medicine stabilized Qi Baixuan's condition and did not continue to deteriorate.

The imperial physicians and imperial physicians did not dare to delay, and immediately began to brew the third medicine.

The effect of this medicine was almost the same as that of the previous medicine, making Qi Baixuan's condition more stable, but it was only stable, and there was no sign of improvement at all.

Only the snow lotus that can boil two doses of medicine is left, the pressure on the imperial physicians and the imperial physicians is increasing, and differences inevitably arise.

Some imperial physicians hope to strike while the iron is hot, and cook the remaining two servings of snow lotus as soon as possible while the snow lotus taken before is still effective, so that Qi Baixuan can feel the medicinal effect of the whole snow lotus at the same time.

Furthermore, the effects of the first three doses of snow lotus can only stabilize Qi Boxuan's condition, but cannot wake him up, and the imperial doctor can't even judge whether Qi Boxuan can hear the surrounding voices at this time, and whether he has the ability to think.

If it is the former, a critically ill person who maintains this state for a long time will consume a small amount of energy faster than normal people.

The rest of the imperial physicians felt that because Qi Baixuan stepped into the gate of hell with one foot, he had to make a hasty prescription and failed to fully stimulate the efficacy of the snow lotus.

Now Qi Boxuan's situation has stabilized, at least for a few days.

They should take advantage of the fact that Qi Boxuan's life will not be in danger for the time being, and carefully consider the new prescription, so as not to give Qi Boxuan the remaining two portions of snow lotus like a cow chewing peonies, and fail to achieve the desired effect.

Both parties have their own considerations, and neither of them is willing to retreat easily, so they join hands to ask Yu Heng to make a decision.

Yu Heng was silent for a while, then said hoarsely, "I'll go see him."

"I'll accompany you." Ji Xinxue said immediately.

Yu Heng did not agree.

Qi Boxuan's appearance of vomiting blood was really not decent, coupled with the medicine that the imperial physicians poured down several times, Yu Heng could already imagine how strange the smell in the room was.

When he reached the door, Yu Heng stopped suddenly and ordered casually, "Call Qi Zhu, Qi Mei, and Chu Qingjiu."

Qing Zhu and Zi Zhu turned around immediately.

One went to find Qi Zhu and Qi Mei, and the other went to find out who Chu Qingjiu was.

Qi Baizhi, who never left, twitched his brows slightly, and stared fixedly at Yu Heng's back.

There are also two doses of medicine, as long as one can be given evenly to A Niang, A Niang's life can be saved.

Anyway, Rokuro's condition has stabilized...

Besides, A Niang only needs one medicine.

Qi Baizhi took two steps in the direction of Yu Heng, and suddenly felt a real gaze on his body.

He looked over subconsciously, just looking at Shangji Xinxue's eyes full of inquiry.

Qi Baizhi suddenly thought of the unhappiness between the British princess and Ji Xinxue.

Although Yu Heng's attitude towards the British Duchess is acceptable, Qi Baizhi is not sure. In Yu Heng's mind, the British Duchess is more important, or Ji Xinxue is more important.

However, Qi Baizhi knew very well that Yu Heng at least once hated him.

He gave up the idea of ​​going to Yu Heng to ask for medicine, turned around and left the sixth room, and went to look for Duke Ying.

Yu Heng didn't speak a word to Qi Zhu and others.

He led them in silently, and after listening to the cries of Qi Mei and Chu Qingjiu for a quarter of an hour, he led them out of the room silently.

"Jun Wang?" The imperial doctor looked at Yu Heng inquiringly.

If you want to maximize the medicinal effect of snow lotus, it is best not to delay any time.

Yu Heng looked around, his eyes skipping over Qi Zhu with reddish eyes, Qi Mei who was crying so hard, and Chu Qingjiu who couldn't stand still crying, and stayed on Ji Xinxue for a long time.

Ji Xinxue seemed to have sensed something, and immediately ran to Yu Heng's side, and skillfully clasped ten fingers with Yu Heng, "What's wrong?"

Yu Heng shook his head, turned to the imperial doctor and said, "Immediately boil the remaining two doses of medicine."

Regardless of whether it is successful or not, give him a happy time.

Ji Cheng, Ji Mingtong and Ji Jingrou heard that Qi Baixuan had temporarily escaped from life and death, and immediately went to entertain the people who rushed to the British government in order to save Yu Heng's face.

When the curfew came, only Ji Cheng, Ji Mingtong and Ji Jingrou were left in the British government.

Ji Xinxue was worried that Yu Heng had already stayed up for two days and one night, and there would be problems if he stayed up any longer, so she persuaded in a low voice, "I'll watch over for you, you go to bed first, and come back for me in the middle of the night."

Yu Heng still maintained the posture of looking up at the moonlight in a daze, and said indifferently, "I didn't specially guard him, but I just couldn't sleep."

He turned to look at the servant standing beside him like a door god, and ordered, "Qingzhu, take them to rest."

Seeing Ji Cheng and the others walking towards the corner of Qingzhu, Yu Heng looked at Ji Xinxue, his indifferent eyes suddenly warmed up, "You should also rest earlier, if there is something in the palace, just send someone to tell me when you leave tomorrow. "

Ji Xinxue held back the yawn and shook her head firmly.

He was indeed sleepy, but he was even more worried about Yu Heng, who was hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

Obviously, if there is any disturbance over there, he will immediately look over there, but he refuses to admit that he is guarding Qi Boxuan.

Ugh.

Not wanting to hear Yu Heng urging him to rest, Ji Xinxue changed the subject first, "Who is that Chu Qingjiu?"

Yu Heng went to visit Qi Boxuan several times, and brought Qi Zhu, Qi Mei and Chu Qingjiu with him.

This made it difficult for Ji Xinxue not to pay attention to the black-haired and phoenix-eyed young gentleman who was dressed as a servant but looked like half a master in the sixth room.

"I don't know either." Yu Heng shook his head, "Qi Zhu didn't mention this person in his letter."

He also wouldn't pay attention to the servant beside Qi Boxuan for no reason.

I don't know how long it has passed, a joyful voice suddenly sounded in the room.

"Qi Honglu is awake!"

Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue immediately turned their heads to look over, just in time to see Chu Qingjiu scrambling into the door, Qi Mei and Qi Zhu were far behind, turning their heads to look in the direction of Yu Heng.

The last two copies of snow lotus successfully helped Qi Baixuan through the crisis of life and death.

It's a pity that I just survived this life and death crisis.

The next day, Imperial Physician Zhu tactfully told Yu Heng and Ji Xinxue that the effect of taking five doses of Saussurea in succession far exceeded the estimation of the imperial hospital.

If Qi Boxuan could follow the doctor's advice and cultivate his body and mind from now on, he would have at least one year to live.

"Only one year?" Ji Xinxue looked disappointed.

Doctor Zhu's eyelids twitched violently, and he opened his mouth several times. After all, he still chose to swallow his anger, and lowered his head deeply, "If Qi Honglu is raised well, it's not impossible for two to three years."

If it weren't for the hundred-year-old snow lotus in Shennv Peak, let alone one year, I'm afraid the first seven would have passed!

Ji Xinxue wanted to leave room for Yu Heng to talk to Qi Boxuan alone, so she deliberately left with the imperial physicians on the pretext of something happening in the palace.

Yu Heng walked along the already familiar corridor to the main room, and suddenly felt that the elm trees in the courtyard were very familiar.

It seemed very early...before he could remember anything, someone once lifted him up, and then he was scolded bloody by a familiar yet unfamiliar female voice.

He withdrew his gaze and walked into the room calmly.

Qi Baixuan has completely left the past few days, and he is full of embarrassment mixed with blood and medicine, and is being fed the medicine by Chu Qingjiu in neat clothes.

Qi Zhu and Qi Mei stood not far away, showing no intention of taking over from Chu Qingjiu.

Yu Heng took out a stack of land deeds from his sleeve pocket, and said straight to the point, "There are nine houses and sixteen villas here, you choose a place to rest."

Qi Baixuan shook his head slowly, and said casually, "I don't have a few days to live, and I should stay in a familiar place. This is called falling leaves returning to their roots."

Yu Heng ignored Qi Boxuan's words, "You can bring Chu Qingjiu with you, or you can bring other people, but anyone who can serve you will be rewarded with 200 taels of silver per month."

"Huh?" Qi Boxuan smiled, "I stay in the British government, did the people who waited on me reward me?"

Yu Heng shook his head indifferently, "No."

Qi Boxuan let out a disappointed sigh, shook his head and looked at Qi Mei, "I wanted to ask for some dowry money for you, but it's a pity, a pity."

Qi Mei silently turned her back to Qi Baixuan.

When Qi Boxuan was in danger, the tears she shed for Qi Boxuan were not fake.

Now that Qi Boxuan was sitting there in good condition again, she couldn't help but be full of Qi Boxuan's benefits.

Yu Heng's eyes stayed on Chu Qingjiu who was sitting beside the bed with a medicine bowl for a while, and said to Qi Baixuan, "I will come to see you every two days, and there is always time to change my mind."

After speaking, before Qi Boxuan could speak again, he had already turned and left.

Qi Boxuan shook his head again, and said to Chu Qingjiu with a half-sigh and half-smile, "If you make him unhappy, he won't spend money, really..."

The following words were too soft, and Chu Qingjiu didn't hear clearly.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Qi Baizhi broke into Qi Baixuan's room drunk and smashed several decorations.

The British prince hurried over and took Qi Baizhi with him.

After receiving the news, Yu Heng rushed back to the British government immediately.

Qi Boxuan had already changed into a suit of clothes, and although he still looked lifeless, there was something complicated in his eyes that Yu Heng couldn't understand.

Pointing to the crown made of red jade, he said, "You came just in time, wear the crown for me."

Yu Heng sneered, folded his arms and looked at Qi Boxuan leisurely.

Qi Baixuan was not embarrassed when he saw this, and asked Qi Zhu, who had swollen eyes, to wear a crown for him,

Complexity flashed in Qi Zhu's eyes, and after a moment of hesitation, this job fell on Chu Qingjiu again.

Changing into a vermilion brocade robe, with a ruby ​​crown and a golden tiger as accessories, even though Qi Baixuan's face was still as pale as a ghost, he could still look good.

"I'm going to pay my respects to Auntie, you guys..." Qi Baixuan carefully smoothed the folds on his wide sleeves, the smile in his tone was so rich, the desolation in his eyes was so deep, "You guys play table cards here for a while, so that you don't have to worry about it again To run back and forth."

Chu Qingjiu followed behind Qi Boxuan step by step, and was caught off guard by Qi Boxuan who suddenly turned his head and nodded, "You also stay and play cards, or get out."

Yu Heng watched Qi Boxuan's frail figure walk away completely, then turned to ask the dying Qi Zhu, "What's going on?"

Qi Zhu resisted the thought of blocking his eyes, and said in a muffled voice, "Uncle said, the snow lotus that saved Aye's life is Madam's life-saving medicine."

Chu Qingjiu, who was looking at Qi Baixuan's departure direction like a puppy who fell out of favor, suddenly had a very bright light in his eyes, and looked at Yu Heng eagerly, "Jun Wang, can you follow Liu Lang, so that Liu Lang won't be bullied in the main courtyard?" .”

Yu Heng sat down where Qi Boxuan was wearing the hair crown, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of coldness that could not be melted away by the spring breeze.

Bully?

Even if Qi Boxuan burned the main courtyard, no one would bully him.

Otherwise, how will the British government recover the cost and interest of snow lotus?

Sure enough, as Yu Heng expected, Qi Boxuan arrived in front of the British princess without hindrance.

No one in the entire main courtyard, including the British lady, knew that the long-awaited snow lotus had entered Qi Baixuan's stomach.

Mrs. Ying did not expect that Qi Boxuan would take the initiative to greet her, a faint smile appeared on her pale cheeks, "Liu Lang, come and sit next to me. I was thinking that I am in a better mood today, and I will go to see you later."

Qi Boxuan walked obediently to the side of the British princess, and sat down on the wide chair brought by the servant, "Brother and Aye visited me just now."

The smile in the eyes of the British princess was even stronger, and she said with a mixture of joy and anger, "Zhi'er hasn't visited me for many days, but he has time to go to your place. It can be seen that in his heart, brothers are closer."

No matter how bad Qi Bozhi was, she would still carry the Qi family in the future. The British princess was happy to see the relationship between the eldest son and the young child ease, and it would be best if the relationship between the eldest son and Feng Lang also eased. "

"Brother, you are looking for my teacher to ask a crime." Qi Baixuan's eyes became more and more sympathetic, "Because the snow lotus you have been waiting for for ten years has become a soup for my life."

He came to visit the British Duchess, hoping that the British Duchess would be a sensible ghost.

The smile on the corner of the Duchess of England's mouth froze suddenly.

Qi Baixuan didn't listen to what he said, he held the hand of the Duke of England, rushed Qi Baizhi to the sixth room like gossip, and told the Duke of England everything he told him.

"Brother originally disagreed with Aye's decision, but Aye said that if brother hadn't beaten Feng Lang to Princess An back then, there would be no need to keep me now and ease the relationship between Feng Lang and the British government."

"Aye also said that brother has been in trouble since he was a child, and you are the one who cleaned up the mess for him."

"Brother felt that what Aye said was reasonable, so he could only hold back his grief and personally send the snow lotus to the sixth room."

……

"enough!"

Mrs. Ying suddenly pulled out the hand held by Qi Boxuan, and her face, which was quite normal, suddenly turned red, and she vomited blood violently, spraying all of it on Qi Boxuan's chest.

Qi Boxuan embraced the exhausted British princess, took out a clean handkerchief, carefully wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and sighed, "I knew it would be like this, so I wore a red dress on purpose."

"Evil!" The British princess's chest heaved violently, even though she was angry, she still did not lose the look in her eyes.

"Brother is indeed your evil obstacle." Qi Baixuan nodded with a smile, "If it were me, I would definitely not accept Aye's words, and use the snow lotus that can save your life to save a waste that has long wanted to live."

Hearing this, the Duke and Duchess of England had even more hatred in their eyes, and almost strangled her palms.

Evil obstacle, evil obstacle!

Specifically pick the place where her heart hurts the most.

She doesn't believe it!

Dong Lang clearly said that if he wanted to live and die with her, how could...

Qi Boxuan's apologetic words interrupted the thoughts of the British Duchess.

"No, the current me, according to your and Aye's wishes, has become a qualified son of a family who only focuses on the interests of the family, just like my brother."

"How can I, like this, give up the interests of the family between you and the interests of the family?"
