Xiao Xi'er thought for a moment and continued, "I remember Mother gave Second Brother a prescription to nourish his stomach and intestines. This prescription can't be used to detoxify, right? How did Second Brother get better?"
!!!
How can I make up this lie?
Xiao Xier is getting better and better at grasping the key points.
While Xiao Lingyu was trying to think of an excuse, Su Xingyi came to her rescue. "The poison in Jie'er's body must still be hidden. We've been keeping a close eye on him these days and haven't let him eat any raw, cold, spicy, or unclean food. That's why the poison hasn't recurred."
"Dad is right. We never thought that Second Brother would be poisoned at that time. Mother naturally didn't draw blood for Second Brother to test. So Second Brother still has poison in his body. Mother must quickly detoxify him."
"Xiao Yu, can you use that long, thin needle to give Brother Jie the antidote? The needle is too thick and he might cry in pain."
Xiao Lingyu laughed wildly in her heart. With the father and daughter asking and answering each other, she didn't need to make up any lies.
"Brother Jie doesn't have much toxin in his body. I'll prepare a drinkable potion for him. Drinking it directly will not only help detoxify but also strengthen his body."
A cup of Lingquan probiotics will do the trick!
"Princess, Madam Fang requests to see you."
"pass!"
Lin Fang bowed and came in, "Greetings to Prince Shun, Princess, and Miss Xi."
"Stop being polite."
Lin Fang stood up and said, "Princess, the Queen Mother wishes to see you. Please follow me to Chaoyang Pavilion."
"Madam Fang, please wait in the courtyard for a moment. The prince needs his second treatment at this hour."
"Okay, my lady."
Xiao Lingyu stood up and left for the inner room. Half a minute later, he took out the medicine box and handed it to Su Xingyi, "Xingyi, are you okay?"
"Of course!"
When Lin Fang saw Su Xingyi coming into the yard with a medicine box, she quickly lowered her head.
Su Xingyi frowned and walked towards her.
Seeing Su Xingyi approaching, Lin Fang quickly bowed and saluted.
Su Xingyi didn't ask her to get up, but walked past her and out of the yard.
"Madam Fang, please don't be polite." Xiao Lingyu walked over with Xiao Xi'er by her hand, smiling. "Is it rude to delay seeing the Queen Mother for half a quarter of an hour?"
Lin Fang stood up straight, with a respectful look on her face, "Of course not. The Queen Mother said that the princess is heavy, so she should be given priority."
If they really kept her company, they wouldn't have sent two groups of people to urge her. "Well, then, please, Madam Fang, take us mother and daughter to see the Queen Mother."
In the main room of Chaoyang Pavilion, Fu Xuan vividly described to the Empress Dowager how Xiao Lingyu had cooked fish in a new way, which made him drool.
"It's just fish, is it really that delicious?"
"Yes, I've never seen that red ingredient before, and they say it's chili peppers. I even tried it, and it's even more pungent than ginger and garlic. My ears hurt so much that I cried. And the cabbage was pickled in a large vat, and I even asked Prince Shun for a small jar. I'll use it to stew pickled fish for the Queen Mother tonight. I guarantee you'll want more."
The Empress Dowager was somewhat expectant when she heard this. "Princess Xiao has loved making medicinal food since she was young. Her cooking skills are indeed quite good. I haven't eaten her cooking in a few years. Her sauerkraut should be as delicious as I told you. Please use it with care."
"Empress Dowager." Aunt Yun came in from outside. "Princess Xiao is here."
“Smells so good!”
When the Empress Dowager smelled the fragrance, she felt relaxed all over.
After two breaths, Xiao Lingyu, holding Xiao Xier, came into the sight of the Empress Dowager.
"Your servant..."
"Xiao Yu'er, there's no need to bow when you see the Empress Dowager. Come forward quickly so she can take a good look at you."
As she spoke, the Empress Dowager had already walked up to Xiao Lingyu, and her hand had unconsciously touched Xiao Lingyu's round belly. She originally wanted to say some official polite words, but she inexplicably felt guilty in her heart.
"Xiao Yu'er, the Empress Dowager was too anxious and didn't take care of your health. Are you feeling unwell?" The Empress Dowager said as she pulled Xiao Lingyu to sit on the couch.
"Your Majesty, as you know, I've been in good health since I was young, and I make medicinal meals every day to nourish myself. My pregnancy was stable early, and the long journey had no effect on my health. This time, I received the imperial decree to return to the capital to reunite with my family, and I can stay in the capital to give birth. This is a pleasant surprise for me! If it weren't for your trust in my medical skills, I don't know when I would be able to return to the capital. To thank you for your appreciation of me, I have personally cooked a few of my specialties for you these past two days..."
"Princess." Fu Xuan couldn't help but interrupt, "Please make some pickled fish for the Queen Mother."
"Stop talking!" the Queen Mother scolded.
"Your Majesty, I will make you some pickled fish. It goes really well with rice, and I guarantee you'll love it."
The child has called her the Imperial Grandmother since he was a child, but now he calls her the Queen Mother, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.
"Xiao Yu'er, you are in a heavy body now, so you have to take care of yourself in everything. The Imperial Grandmother doesn't want to be my wife. Wait until you give birth to the child safely and then you can do it for the Imperial Grandmother. You should still call me the Imperial Grandmother. You have called me that since you were a child, but now you suddenly stop calling me that. The Imperial Grandmother feels bad. Since you can't be my granddaughter-in-law, the Imperial Grandmother will recognize you as her granddaughter. Call me the Imperial Grandmother quickly."
Xiao Xier raised her eyebrows. If the Queen Mother of Beiyi knew that her mother was still her eldest grandson's wife, would she be so happy that she couldn't stop smiling?
It shouldn't be very likely, right?
"Grandmother." How could Xiao Lingyu dare to refuse? After all, she was still her granddaughter-in-law, but she didn't know it yet. It wouldn't be a loss to call her that.
"Alas, little Yu'er." The Empress Dowager changed the subject and got straight to the point. "Grandmother, I received news this morning that Yu'er is no longer in danger of death. Do you think that by finding the true cause of his illness and prescribing the right medicine, we can save his life?"
"That's right, Your Highness will recover slowly if he takes the medicine on time."
"Will Yu'er be weaker than an ordinary person after he recovers?"
Xiao Lingyu: "Rest in peace for a year or so, then exercise regularly when practicing martial arts, and your health will be no worse than that of an ordinary person."
The Empress Dowager was delighted, "Then Yu'er can..." give birth to more children?
The Empress Dowager was embarrassed to ask those words in front of Xiao Lingyu.
"Grandmother, what can the prince do?"
"Oh, the Empress Dowager wants to know the real cause of Yu'er's illness?"
Xiao Lingyu had no need to hide it, so he said bluntly: "Someone behind the scenes poisoned the prince!"
The Empress Dowager was shocked. "Are you sure? Yu'er only eats food after testing it for poison with a silver needle. If it was poisoned, Li Yuanliang and the others wouldn't be unaware of it."
"This poison is colorless and odorless, so it's usually difficult to detect with a silver needle."
"So how did you diagnose it?"
"blood test!"
The Empress Dowager didn't ask any further questions about the blood test. "Then once the poison is removed and the blood is clean, will the organs that were poisoned slowly return to normal function?"
You also need to take nutritional repair injections to repair the functions of various internal organs.
"Follow my prescription and your damaged organs will gradually recover their functions."
The Empress Dowager understood that Yu'er's condition would return to normal and she would definitely be able to give birth to more children.
