Chapter 151 is valid.

The fine Western Region carpet was instantly stained crimson. The pervasive blood color reflected in Xiao Yuxuan's eyes, and she raised her hand in astonishment to touch the corner of her mouth.

She vomited blood?

Lost in thought, the eldest princess on the bed suddenly opened her eyes.

The eldest prince moved his eyes and realized that the person sitting next to him was Xiao Yuxuan. He was about to call her when he noticed the bloodstains on the carpet and on the corner of her lips!

"Yu Xuan!"

She was eager to get up, but unfortunately she was too weak to do so and could only move her fingers with difficulty.

Startled back to her senses by the call, Xiao Yuxuan disregarded the fact that she was vomiting blood and quickly turned to look at the eldest princess, who had indeed woken up.

The princess still looked weak, but the inexplicable death aura had indeed dissipated considerably, so the medicine was indeed effective!

Overjoyed, she then thought that the princess might be thirsty after just waking up, so as she went to pour her some water, she reassured her:

"Your Highness, how are you? Are you still in a lot of pain? Yuxuan will get you some water..."

Before she could finish speaking, she got up too quickly, her lower body had been numb for who knows how long, and she fell solidly to the ground. The impact on the soft carpet shouldn't have hurt much, but it made her brows furrow in pain.

She then remembered that she had tripped on the steps when she first arrived because she was in such a hurry.

Upon hearing the sounds inside, Bi Sui and Lan Xin, who were guarding outside, immediately woke up. It was the Princess who had awakened!

Before the two could even feel happy, they were startled by Xiao Yuxuan's disheveled appearance when they lifted the curtain.

"Young lady! This is...you've vomited blood?!"

"This servant will help you up. How did you get injured..."

The two men helped Xiao Yuxuan up, one on each side. They were already terrified when they saw the large pool of blood on the ground, but when they looked around, they noticed that Xiao Yuxuan's clothes were also torn and stained with blood at her elbows and knees.

It was the girl who tripped when she came!

They didn't notice the girl was injured right away; it took them so long to see it!

"Quickly, go and fetch the imperial physician! Why is Yu Xuan suddenly vomiting blood? How have you all been taking care of her?! Cough cough..."

The eldest princess naturally saw Xiao Yuxuan's current state as well, and felt both heartache and anxiety. As she spoke, she started coughing again.

"This servant will go right away!"

Lanxin glanced at the Princess who had already woken up, and a huge weight was finally lifted from her heart. With tears in her eyes, she ran outside as fast as she could, wishing she could fly to find Aunt Meng and the imperial physician immediately.

After serving the princess water to soothe her throat, and wiping the blood from her face, the princess asked in a hoarse voice:

"Yu Xuan... what's wrong with me? You've been staying here the whole time? Why are you vomiting blood?"

Xiao Yuxuan smiled and knelt beside the princess's bed, saying:

“Your Highness has been sleeping for a long time, and Yu Xuan was worried about you, so I came here to keep watch. As for vomiting blood... well, Yu Xuan is fine now. I'll trouble the imperial physician to take a look at you later.”

The eldest princess didn't believe it: "Really? Are you hiding something from me?"

"How could that be? If Your Highness doesn't believe me, you can ask Aunt Meng when she arrives."

She tucked the princess's blanket in, her smile barely fading.

"Tell me the truth, is it because... something's wrong with me that you're so worried and inseparable from me?"

The eldest princess was only ill, but her mind was perfectly clear. Seeing her so happy that she was almost in tears, she could guess what was going on.

"No, Your Highness will be free from illness and disaster, live a long and healthy life. If possible, Yu Xuan will stay with Your Highness forever."

Xiao Yuxuan rarely showed such affection, and the princess's heart softened completely. She reached out and touched Xiao Yuxuan's hair.

“Good child, since you have this intention, I will do anything to keep you by my side.”

"Your Highness, Miss, the Imperial Physician and Doctor Pei have arrived!"

Following behind Doctor Pei was Pei Xing'er, who carried a medicine box. She walked very fast, leaving Imperial Physician Zhang far behind.

The prescription was based on the fragments left by the Pei family, and Doctor Pei hoped more than anyone that the prescription would be effective so that the many patients in the capital could be saved as soon as possible.

The two patients who volunteered to participate in the drug testing have indeed improved, but they had only been infected with the epidemic for two days and their symptoms were still mild. Doctor Pei could not guarantee that it would be effective for every patient.

If it works even on patients like the Princess who have been infected for many days and have fallen into a coma—then the people of the capital will be saved!

"This humble subject pays homage to the palace—"

The grandmother and grandson walked to the outside of the palace curtains, not forgetting to bow, but before they could even kneel down, Aunt Meng, who had rushed over, grabbed them by the arms and picked them up.

"What kind of time is this to be concerned with such trivial matters? Please hurry and treat His Highness!"

Doctor Pei had the same idea. He stepped forward, skillfully placed a handkerchief on the princess's exposed wrist, closed his eyes, and took her pulse, examining her carefully.

Pei Xing'er was right beside him, preparing the silver needles he needed.

"Judging from the pulse, it is indeed much better than before. Your Highness, may I examine a few more acupoints for you? Please forgive my intrusion."

Doctor Pei took the silver needles that had been heated by candlelight, picked one up, and slowly inserted it into the acupoint on the princess's head.

"Your Highness, does it hurt here?"

"It hurts a little, but not as much as it did the previous two days."

The princess told the truth, and Doctor Pei's furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

"It seems the prescription is indeed effective. Miss Xiao, please arrange for the patients in the capital to take this medicine as soon as possible so that they can recover quickly!"

After Doctor Pei finished speaking, he was still thinking about Xiao Yuxuan's vomiting blood. Only after taking her pulse did his brow finally relax.

"Miss Xiao is alright. She has been overworked and worried these past few days, which has caused her to feel depressed. This medicine contains too many precious tonics, and the blood she vomited earlier was due to her weakness and inability to tolerate the tonics."

"Don't worry, I'll prepare a gentle and nourishing prescription later. Miss Xiao will be fine after drinking a few doses. But you must rest and recuperate properly in the future and never work so late into the night again."

Upon hearing this, Pei Xing'er's face lit up with joy, and her serious expression finally softened into a smile.

The maids were completely relieved, and their eyes showed more joy as they looked at the princess and Xiao Yuxuan.

"In that case, the prescription must be made public immediately. Not only the people of the capital, but also the surrounding cities, must prepare it as soon as possible..."

The well was hastily filled in, but the poison had already seeped into the water, and several neighboring cities began to experience outbreaks of disease.

Although the method of boiling water was spread, some people still took it for granted and didn't take it seriously.

And then there's the instigator, Nanyue! Qi will eventually settle this score with them.

The things that follow will likely be more numerous and troublesome, so Xiao Yuxuan dares not stop for a moment.

Seeing the little girl calmly explaining what to do next, arranging everything meticulously and in an orderly manner, the princess's lips curled up slightly.

No wonder she found Yu Xuan more and more pleasing to the eye the more she looked at her; upon closer reflection, she realized that Yu Xuan had many similarities to herself when she was young.
