As if he understood what she was saying, Xiaobai rolled over uncomfortably and rubbed against her feet.
Xie Yunjiao picked up Xiaobai with a distressed look and fed it some spiritual spring water. Fortunately, Xiaobai only ate a little bit, and didn't smell the fragrance for long, so it was fine after a while.
After this, Ruan Qing and the old nanny were stunned and could not believe what they saw.
"What happened? You all saw it with your own eyes. Xiaobai is just a beast. It can't pretend. These are its true feelings." Xie Yunjiao said.
"But why did it react so strongly?" the old nanny said, looking at Ruan Qing.
"Don't you think about how different the Queen's body is from Xiaobai's? Besides, the medicine she's taking has other ingredients that counteract its effects." Xie Yunjiao paused. "If you only took this one medicine and inhaled the fragrance every day, you would have died long ago."
Ruan Qing was so scared that sweat broke out on her back. She sat on the chaise longue, her slender hands clenched into fists, trembling slightly.
A pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes slowly looked around. At this moment, everyone around her seemed very suspicious to her.
"Master, are you okay?"
The old nanny picked up a handkerchief and wanted to help Ruan Qing wipe the cold sweat off his forehead. At this moment, Ruan Qing looked pale, his lips trembled slightly, and he looked very weak.
She hadn't seen Ruan Qing so weak for a long time.
I couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
But her approach made Ruan Qing tremble all over, and she subconsciously pushed away the old lady's hand.
The old nanny didn't expect that Ruan Qing, who was so close to her, would behave so awkwardly towards her. She was completely stunned.
Her eyes were slightly red, and she called out softly, "My Lady, it's me."
Ruan Qing was slightly startled. After she came to her senses, she looked at the old lady guiltily and said, "I'm sorry, I just..."
The old lady pursed her lips and shook her head at Ruan Qing. She said, "It's okay."
What virtue did she have to deserve her master to apologize to her?
"Let me help you wipe the sweat off your face," said the old nanny.
Only then did Ruan Qing realize that she was covered in sweat, as if she had just been pulled out of the water.
Seeing that Ruan Qing was no longer so repulsive, the old nanny gently wiped the sweat off her forehead and said, "Madam, may I help you change your clothes?"
It must be uncomfortable to have these clothes sticking to your body wet.
Ruan Qing thought of something. She waved her hand, looked at Xie Yunjiao and said, "Your mink recovered after drinking the water you gave it. So, will I be fine if I drink your water?"
This question really hits the point. I didn't expect that Ruan Qing could find the key point so quickly after calming down.
"The toxins in your body have accumulated over time. It's impossible to eliminate them all at once," Xie Yunjiao paused and continued, "If you trust me, I'll prescribe medicine for you and come over every day to help you detoxify with acupuncture."
Ruan Qing stared at Xie Yunjiao without blinking, saying nothing.
Yes, she didn't quite trust Xie Yunjiao yet.
Xie Yunjiao also noticed it, but she didn't care at all: "If you don't believe me, you can show the medicine I prescribed to the imperial physician and drink it when you are fine.
I can also teach the imperial physician acupuncture techniques and acupoints."
Ruan Qing frowned. She looked at Xie Yunjiao, trying to see something from her face, but she could see nothing.
She said to Xie Yunjiao, "Don't bother."
If there was someone among the imperial physicians who wanted to harm her, she would not be able to get any information even if she took Xie Yunjiao's prescription to ask.
It would be better to just believe Xie Yunjiao.
"It's up to you. If you think I'm talking nonsense, then just continue." Xie Yunjiao said with a raised tone.
Yes, she was a little angry, angry that she had done so much but others were indifferent.
But she was more angry with herself. Seeing Ruan Qing like this, she was just a little annoyed, and she couldn't be angry with Ruan Qing at all!
"What I mean is that there is no need to go through so much trouble. You can just help me directly. You understand it yourself. Why bother to rely on others?" Ruan Qing said.
Xie Yunjiao felt that Ruan Qing's tone of voice had changed. Although his attitude was still not very good, at least it was not as sharp and angular as before, and he didn't want to say anything more than he wanted to say if he didn't agree with him.
Xie Yunjiao was delighted and responded, "Okay, I'll help you today..."
At this moment, a crisp voice sounded outside: "Mother, your son has come to visit you."
Even if this voice turned into ashes, Xie Yunjiao would recognize it. It was Xie Xiuer's voice!
Sure enough, after a while, a girl came in wearing a goose yellow robe, white floor-length trousers, a goose yellow cloth wrapped around her head, and two long braids hanging in front of her chest, looking cute and lovely.
When she saw Xie Yunjiao, the smile on her face froze, but in a moment she smiled again, as if she didn't know Xie Yunjiao. She came to Ruan Qing and greeted him.
Ruan Qing asked Xie Xiuer to not be polite and took her hand to let her sit down.
"Mother, she looks familiar to me. She seems to be the White Wolf Alliance leader who contradicted me on the street last time." Xie Xiu'er paused, then looked at Jing Kai and slowly said, "Brother Kai, didn't you tell me before that you had handed her over to the people of the Three Divisions for disposal? Why did she appear in my mother's bedroom?"
Xie Xiu'er looked at Jing Kai without blinking. If he didn't give a reasonable explanation, don't blame her for being rude!
Ruan Qing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xie Xiu'er seemed to have forgotten everything Xie Yunjiao had done to her before, and did not show the look she had before when she secretly vowed to grind Xie Yunjiao to ashes whenever she was mentioned.
"Yun Qiao, you misunderstood. She came here to give me..."
Ruan Qing subconsciously glanced in the direction of the incense. She had felt something strange just now. When she smelled the fragrance on Xie Xiu'er's body, a doubt arose in her heart. This incense was given to her by Xie Xiu'er. She was the one who told her that it would help her fall asleep well and have a dreamless night, so she insisted on using it. How could she have thought that the combination of these two seemingly harmless things would almost take her life.
She now even suspects the old nanny, and she has even kept something from her own daughter.
Xie Xiuer couldn't help but feel nervous when she saw Ruan Qing hesitant to speak, wondering if Ruan Qing had remembered something.
Ruan Qing looked at Xie Xiu'er, not missing even the slightest changes on her face.
Xie Xiuer was so immersed in her own thoughts that she didn't notice it at all.
But she quickly came to her senses and smiled as if nothing had happened.
Ruan Qing then continued, "I'm not feeling well. She said she knows medicine and checked the medicine residue and incense for me. She said the medicine itself is fine, but combined with the incense, it could kill me!"
Xie Xiuer was stunned for a moment.
