Chapter 147: The Vicious Eldest Daughter (12)

"Now that you've verified the steward's medical skills, could you let her examine the prince's injuries?"

Butler: "I'll have to ask the Prince about that."

"Alright."

After the housekeeper left, Wen Wan dismissed Chunye, Xiaotaozi, and Xiaofuxing from the room. Looking at Chu Sisi in front of her, she said, "I didn't expect you to be so capable. I underestimated you before."

"Your Highness, just don't forget what you promised me."

"Of course not. If you don't believe me, I'll have my mother bring Aunt Xin and your younger brother to the Prince Xi's residence. As long as you cure the prince, you can take them away. How about it?"

"real?"

"Of course, I don't want your family to get in my mother's way anyway."

Soon the steward came back to reply, saying that the prince had agreed, but the prince was too tired today, and Miss Chu would have to see the doctor tomorrow.

Okay, there's no rush anyway.

Wen Wan asked Xiao Taozi to find a room for Chu Sisi to stay in, and then asked Xiao Fuxing to deliver a letter to the Prime Minister's residence.

Madam Chu had only spared the life of that wretched concubine Xin because of her own daughter's words. When she heard that Chu Sisi could heal Gu Xi's injuries, Madam Chu simply did not believe it. Could she have been deceived?

So she went to Aunt Guan Xin's room. Aunt Xin was terrified when she saw her and was holding her child. Madam Chu was disgusted with this woman. "Your daughter knows medicine? Think carefully about what you're going to say. If you dare to lie to me, I will never let you and your son off the hook."

Aunt Xin thought for a moment. She realized that her health had improved because Sisi had given her medicine, but she didn't know what Madam Chu was planning, so she didn't dare to speak frankly. "I don't know."

"You really don't know?"

Madam Chu gestured to a maidservant, who immediately stepped forward and took the child that Aunt Xin was holding away.

"Xiao Qi, what are you doing, Madam? Xiao Qi is still a child." Aunt Xin knelt in front of Madam Chu.

"You'd better pray that Chu Sisi can really cure Prince Xi, otherwise I will definitely not let you get away with this."

He left the room with the child, telling the servants outside the door before leaving, "Keep an eye on her. If anything happens, I'll hold you all responsible."

"Yes, madam."

...

The next day, Wen Wan received a reply, and the messenger brought a child with him. The letter said that Chu Sisi was cunning and could not be trusted completely, and that Aunt Xin could not leave the Prime Minister's residence until Prince Xi recovered.

It must be said, this Madam Chu is truly not lacking in intelligence.

The child they brought was a little shorter and thinner than Little Lucky Star, but he was quite good-looking, with fair skin and big eyes.

The pretty boy tried to run away as soon as he saw her, as if he had seen a ghost, but he was grabbed by the servants of the Prime Minister's residence. "Do you want to see your sister? Be good and I'll let you see her."

The child immediately became well-behaved.

"You should go back now," Wen Wan said to the servants of the Prime Minister's residence.

"Yes, Your Highness."

After the people from the Prime Minister's residence left, Wen Wan asked Xiao Taozi to get some pastries for the child. Xiao Taozi didn't want to take them, saying, "Your Highness, why are you being so nice to him?"

"His sister is useful."

Little Peach could only go to get the pastries. Chu Sisi rushed over after receiving the news and saw her younger brother, "Little Seven."

Xiao Qi ran up to Chu Sisi and was hugged by her.

"Sister~"

Wen Wan said, "I'll only do half of what I promised you. I'll send your younger brother over first, but I promise that as long as you can heal Prince Xi's injuries, Aunt Xin will let you take him away too."

"Now that you two siblings have met, shouldn't we get down to business?"

Wen Wan led the person to Gu Xi's residence. There was a strong smell of medicine. No wonder the male lead smelled of medicine. Living in this place, he must have been permeated with the smell.

"I don't want anyone to be present when I'm receiving treatment."

Wen Wan didn't care, but the butler was a little worried. "This won't do. It's not that I don't trust Miss Chu, but I must ensure the Prince's safety."

Chu Sisi: "No, otherwise it will affect the treatment effect."

Wen Wan knew that Chu Sisi was using the spiritual spring space, so she naturally couldn't let others discover it. Therefore, she said, "Don't worry, steward. She is my sister. She won't hurt the prince."

The butler thought for a moment, "Well... alright then."

Chu Sisi went in carrying her medicine box, while Wen Wan and the housekeeper waited outside. The housekeeper had someone bring her a recliner, along with some pastries and tea.

Little Peach still felt that Chu Sisi was not a good person. "Your Highness, can she really save Prince Xi?"

Wen Wan: "I don't know."

Of course it can be saved, after all, this is the female lead's cheat ability, relying on mystical factors.

inside the house.

Chu Sisi carried her medicine kit into the room, where Gu Xi was lying on the bed.

"This humble woman greets Your Highness," Chu Sisi bowed.

"Get up. Since you are the princess's sister, we are family. I heard from the steward that you are skilled in medicine? Are you here to treat me?"

"Yes, I once met a village doctor in the mountains and learned some medical skills, which I hope will be of help to Your Highness."

Chu Sisi took out a pot filled with spiritual spring water, poured a cup of it, and handed it to Prince Xi. "Your Highness, this is spiritual spring water that is very beneficial to your health. Please drink it."

Gu Xi took the cup, and a delicate fragrance wafted from it, making one feel comfortable just by smelling it. He drank it down, and Gu Xi instantly felt his mind clear. The chaotic meridians in his body were indeed quickly soothed. It seemed that his sister, brought by the princess, really had some skills, much better than those imperial physicians.

"Where did this sacred spring come from?"

"It was carefully prepared by me, but if you want it to cure your illness, you still need me to take your pulse."

Gu Xi stretched out his hand and watched Chu Sisi take his pulse, but she seemed very unfamiliar with it, like a novice.

"But what happened?"

Chu Sisi had no idea, but she heard that Prince Xi had been poisoned and that she had a elixir in her spiritual spring space that could cure all poisons.

"Your Highness has been poisoned, and not just one kind. I have an antidote pill here, which my master developed when he was alive. It can cure all poisons." Chu Sisi took out a jade bottle from her medicine box. Gu Xi saw that the jade bottle was of excellent quality, but according to his investigation, Chu Sisi, as a concubine's daughter of the Prime Minister's family, had no ability to produce such a thing, let alone use it to hold medicine.

Gu Xi took the antidote pill. A fragrance even stronger than that of the spiritual spring wafted from the pill, and he knew just by smelling it that it was no ordinary thing.

Gu Xi ate it and instantly felt much better.

The poison was suppressed.

"How is Your Highness feeling?"

Gu Xi said, "I feel much better now, but this pill is clearly not an ordinary one. It must be extremely precious. May I ask what Miss Chu's master's name is?"

Chu Sisi: "My master never told me his name. He didn't want anyone in this world to remember him."

"That must be a reclusive master. Does that mean my poison has been cured?"

"No, you need to take one pill every day for about a week to get better. I also heard that Your Highness was slashed on the face and has a scar. My master left a bottle of scar-removing ointment. Apply it twice a day, morning and evening. Your Highness will definitely be better in less than half a month."

"Alright, if you can truly cure my illness, I will definitely repay Miss Chu."

Chu Sisi left the room.

Gu Xi opened his palm, revealing a small portion of the detoxification pill that had been folded away. "Qi Ling."

A dark figure appeared beside the bed.

"Take this to Doctor Qi and have him examine what it is."

"yes."

"Also, investigate everything that happened to Chu Sisi, don't miss a single thing, especially the village doctor she mentioned. Have Ling Xiao spread the word that a highly skilled doctor has appeared in the Prince Xi's mansion, and that Prince Xi Gu Xi is in good health and has a chance of recovery. There's no need to deliberately reveal Chu Sisi's identity; those who want to investigate will naturally come to investigate."

"yes."

After the Qi Spirit left, Gu Xi called the butler in.

The steward bestowed a large sum of gold, silver and jewels, countless silks and satins upon Chu Sisi, and arranged for her to live in a new courtyard.

Upon seeing this, Wen Wan realized that she truly was the destined female lead; she had already won such a great favor on their very first meeting.

"Has the mission progressed? This time it'll be at a very advanced, almost imperceptible level, right?"

System: [...] Host, what a strange analogy! But it really is quite something. [30/100, Host, keep up the good work! The male and female leads have successfully made a good impression on each other. Saving a life is definitely the beginning of the male lead falling in love with the female lead.]

Wen Wan returned to her own courtyard, and Xiao Qi moved into the courtyard newly arranged by the housekeeper with Chu Sisi.

Little Peach was extremely anxious watching her princess still playing with the dog. "Princess, don't you feel any urgency?"

"What urgency? What do I need to rush about?"

"The prince bestowed so many gifts upon Chu Sisi, could it be that he has taken a liking to her?"

Wen Yan: "..."

She looked at Xiaotaozi in surprise. "How come your IQ suddenly went online?" But she couldn't go along with what she said.

"How could that be? How could the prince possibly like Chu Sisi? She wouldn't dare to seduce the prince."

Little Peach: "Your Highness, Chu Sisi dared to elope back then, she was quite bold to begin with. Think about it, if she really cured the Prince, he would definitely remember her kindness, and the two of them..."

Wen Wan wanted to applaud Xiao Taozi.

This guy has such a strong villainous streak.

"Little Peach, you're overthinking it. Do you really think your princess is inferior to that Chu Sisi? Am I not as pretty as her?"

"Of course not. Miss is the most beautiful woman in Mingzhou. How can she compare to the Princess?"

"Isn't that good enough? Besides, the fact that His Highness is getting better is a good thing for me, isn't it?"

Xiao Taozi thought for a moment. If Prince Xi could really be cured, then her princess would not have to be a widow. Moreover, she would be the most honored woman in the entire Mingzhou, apart from the Empress and the Empress Dowager.

"So don't worry, Aunt Xin is in my mother's hands, she wouldn't dare to do anything. Once she cures the prince, I'll send her away and I'll definitely not let her stay by the prince's side. Are you still worried?"

"The Princess is wise."

...

Soon, the news spread throughout Mingdu by Qi Ling's men, and everyone knew that a divine physician who could cure Prince Xi's body had arrived at Prince Xi's mansion. Prince Xi's health had greatly improved, and there was hope for a full recovery.

Many people are getting restless.

People came to the Prince's mansion in an endless stream. Some came simply to offer their congratulations, while others came with ulterior motives. Regardless of their intentions, as the Princess Consort, Wen Wan had to deal with these people.

She spends every day with the male lead, her face practically beaming with joy.

Finally, when Madam Chu received the news, she quickly used the excuse of missing home to take Xiao Taozi to the Prime Minister's residence for some peace and quiet, and also to deal with Aunt Xin's matter.

"Ah Huang, can Prince Xi really be cured?" Madam Chu held her daughter's hand, her expression barely concealing her excitement. Prime Minister Chu Feng was also present; although he remained composed, he still wanted to know the result. "Yes, Ah Huang, can Sisi really cure Prince Xi?"

"yes."

"That's wonderful, this is truly a blessing for the Chu family." If Prince Xi can live peacefully, then as Prince Xi's father-in-law, he will naturally benefit greatly, not to mention that his own Sisi is Prince Xi's savior.

When Madam Chu saw the Prime Minister's expression, she knew what he was up to and immediately said, "Even if Chu Sisi heals Prince Xi, she can't possibly bypass Ah Huang. You should put away your thoughts."

"Madam, you misunderstand. I had no intention of doing anything."
