"Go ahead, stay for lunch today. I heard you've been granted the title of Princess! Have a chat with your maternal grandfather when you have time?"
Zhao Shijie nodded, looking at Lin Yuxin with a gratified expression.
When he learned that the Emperor had bestowed the title of Princess Pingning upon Yuxin and sent her to the northern city, he was surprised and worried. After all, this was a major event, and he did not yet know the situation there.
As a young woman, even if she had the ability, the officials there might not be able to accept her.
But now it's a done deal, and he can't stop it. He received word of it yesterday and went to the palace overnight, but the emperor still didn't change the imperial decree. He knew then that this matter couldn't be changed.
Moreover, after receiving his daughter's letter last night, he had a plan in mind and selected twenty people overnight, which he would then have Yuxin bring.
"Well, I'll talk to my grandfather about the details when I have some free time. I'm going to see my second uncle first!"
Lin Yuxin nodded in agreement to the afternoon meal, then bowed to her maternal grandfather and left, heading straight for her second uncle's courtyard.
Lin Yuxin walked into her second uncle's yard and saw her second aunt helping her second uncle do rehabilitation exercises.
"Second Uncle!"
Lin Yuxin stepped forward to greet them.
"Yuxin's here! Please have a seat!"
When her second aunt saw Lin Yuxin arrive, she was overjoyed and quickly invited her to sit down.
"Second Aunt, don't worry about me, I know what I'm doing. Just support Second Uncle. How are you feeling, Second Uncle? Is there anything else that's bothering you in your leg?"
Lin Yuxin smiled and gestured to her second aunt not to worry about her, then began to inquire about her second uncle's situation.
"Yes! I feel much better. I've been able to walk a few steps without anyone's help lately."
With his leg injury almost healed, Zhao Yingfeng's gloom had dissipated, and he looked very refined, not at all like someone who had been on the battlefield.
"Hehe! That's good. If you keep doing rehabilitation every day, you can walk freely in the morning and evening. Second Uncle, sit down, there's something I want to tell you."
Lin Yuxin looked at Zhao Yingfeng, then suddenly stopped smiling and looked at him seriously.
"you say!"
Seeing Lin Yuxin's serious expression, Zhao Yingfeng knew that the matter must be important, so he returned to the bedside with his wife's help before asking.
"Second Uncle, I originally planned to wait until your leg injury was almost healed before giving you the antidote, but things have changed suddenly. The Emperor has sent me out of the capital, and I estimate I won't be back for several months, so I thought I'd give you the antidote before I leave."
"However, because your poison is too complex, I am not entirely confident, but I will try my best and make sure nothing happens to you."
Lin Yuxin spoke to Zhao Yingfeng with a serious expression, sharing her thoughts.
[This was the conclusion she reached after thinking about it all night while preparing the medicine. If the poison wasn't neutralized now, who knew how it would harm her second uncle's body when she returned? It would also cause further damage to his leg, which was barely healing. The sooner the poison was neutralized, the better. Besides, she refused to believe that with Zizi around, she couldn't neutralize the poison.]
Lin Yuxin thought about it fiercely.
Looking at Lin Yuxin's little expression and listening to her thoughts, Zhao Yingfeng couldn't help but chuckle. This silly girl was really cute.
"Yuxin, your second uncle knows that if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to stand up. Your second uncle has to thank you. I'll entrust my poison treatment to you. No matter what the outcome, I won't blame you."
"Besides, my second uncle believes in you! He believes you have the ability to cure me."
As Zhao Yingfeng spoke his heart to Lin Yuxin, only he knew the depth of his gratitude. It was Yuxin who had pulled him out of the darkness.
"Second Uncle, you flatter me. Don't worry, Second Uncle, I'll take care of everything. If you're ready, let's begin now!"
Lin Yuxin felt extremely awkward listening to Zhao Yingfeng's gratitude. This family's constant thanking was really strange. She quickly and embarrassedly explained the main purpose of her visit to the Zhao residence that day.
"Huh! Now?"
Not only was Zhao Yingfeng stunned, but even Chen Lanzhi, who was standing next to him, was taken aback. She was completely unprepared!
"Yes, it's today. I detoxified my uncle today, and I have two more days to observe him so I can deal with any emergencies promptly. If I wait until I leave the capital, it will be troublesome."
Lin Yuxin explained earnestly to the two of them.
It wasn't that she was in a hurry, but the situation didn't allow it; she had to resolve it now.
Otherwise, if we wait until she comes back to solve it, we don't know what the situation will be like then.
The effects of poison on the body can change rapidly, and it may take effect at any time.
Zhao Yingfeng remained silent for a few moments, then nodded and said:
"Yuxin, I agree. Go ahead and do it."
"Alright, Second Uncle, lie down and we'll begin now. Second Aunt, please wait outside and don't come in to disturb us."
Lin Yuxin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhao Yingfeng had agreed. She was afraid that her second uncle would disagree, in which case there would be nothing she could do but pray that they would be safe and sound until she returned.
Now things are looking up; her second uncle has agreed, so she can go all out.
"Okay! I'll wait outside. Just call me if you need anything."
Chen Lanzhi didn't waste any words, after all, it concerned her husband. She helped Lin Yingfeng to bed and then left, waiting at the door.
Then, remembering something, he instructed the servants to inform the master and mistress.
Lin Yuxin walked to the bedside, took out a silver needle from her bosom, held it in her hand, looked at Zhao Yingfeng, and said with a serious expression:
"Second Uncle, I'm starting!"
"Okay, let's begin!"
Zhao Yingfeng looked at Lin Yuxin and smiled gently, then closed his eyes, completely surrendering himself to Lin Yuxin.
