No sooner had Physician Xu left than Jing Xi said to Jiang Bai, "Jiang Bai, you should rest for a bit. I'll go see Physician Xu off."

Jiang Bai said softly, "Okay." He missed Jing Xi's fleeting smile of triumph as he looked down.

Jing Xi hurriedly chased after him. Fortunately, Physician Xu hadn't gone far. Jing Xi ran up to Physician Xu and said, "Physician Xu, please wait."

Looking at the young woman who had stopped him, Physician Xu recognized her as the same girl he had seen in the room earlier. He asked kindly, "Young lady, what brings you to this old man?"

Jing Xi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Doctor Xu, do you have any medicine that can induce drowsiness?"

Physician Xu glanced around warily, and finding no one paying attention to the two of them, he quickly waved his hand and said in a flustered manner, "No, this old man does not have the medicine that the young lady wants."

He thought to himself, "This girl is a tiger. All the masters in the palace are of high status. How could such a harmful drug be circulating openly?"

Seeing that Physician Xu kept avoiding her gaze, Jing Xi immediately realized that he was lying to her. Jing Xi drew her dagger from her waist, twirled it gracefully in her hand, and the next second, the dagger was firmly pressed against Physician Xu's vulnerable neck. Jing Xi asked again, "Physician Xu, do you have it or not? Give me a straight answer, hmm?"

Physician Xu tremblingly reached out to push away the dagger Jing Xi had placed at his neck, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge it an inch. Physician Xu said with tears in his eyes, "Miss, we have no past grudges or recent grievances. Moreover, I even saved the young master who was traveling with you. Please, Miss, have mercy and spare this old man."

Jing Xi was too lazy to waste words with him. She pressed the dagger closer to Physician Xu's neck and said coldly, "Just answer my question: yes or no?"

Helpless, Physician Xu could only nod resignedly and say, "Let go of me, and I'll get it for you." He understood that this girl was determined to get the medicine, so he might as well give it to her to avoid suffering.

Jing Xi looked at Physician Xu suspiciously for a few moments, then slowly put down the dagger. "Give it to me quickly."

"Yes, yes." Doctor Xu didn't dare to delay. He quickly took out a black medicine bottle from his medicine box and handed it to Jing Xi. Only then did Jing Xi put away the dagger, pull out the stopper to take a look, then put the stopper back in and tuck the medicine into her waistband.

Then, Jing Xi prepared to leave, but when she glanced at the wound on Doctor Xu's neck where she had cut it with her dagger and blood was seeping out, she stopped and took a bottle from her left waist and tossed it to Doctor Xu, saying, "This is wound medicine. You can treat the wound on your neck yourself in a while. Thank you for the medicine."

After saying that, Jing Xi left. Doctor Xu glanced at the bottle in his hand, then touched the wound on his neck. He smiled, put the wound medicine that Jing Xi had just given him into his medicine box, and then left.

She's a kind-hearted girl, but the young man with her is quite poisoned.

Jing Xi held the medicine in her hand and walked to Jiang Bai's door. She happened to meet a palace servant who was delivering medicine to Jiang Bai. Jing Xi took the medicine from Jiang Bai and then let the servant leave.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Jing Xi hurriedly took out the medicine she had just asked Physician Xu from her waist, sprinkled it into Jiang Bai's medicine bowl, and only after doing this series of actions did she push the door open and go in.

"Jiang Bai, it's time for your medicine." Jing Xi smiled and handed the medicine to Jiang Bai. "Drink it while it's hot, or it will get cold soon."
