Concubine Xian held Yuzhu in her arms and didn't believe what Su Jinyue said.
She looked at Su Jinyue coldly, "Don't try to please me the way you try to please others! The imperial doctors in the palace can't help, so you think you can?"
"Yes!" Su Jinyue said firmly: "I have a way!"
Concubine Xian narrowed her eyes and looked at Su Jinyue, "Su Jinyue, do you know what will happen if you boast in front of me?"
"If you dare to use this matter to take advantage of my Zhu'er, even Xiao Duo can't protect you!"
Su Jinyue said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Your Majesty, I discovered before that the little princess might not be born unable to speak. Now it just proves my guess."
Xian Fei obviously didn't believe Su Jinyue's words, "How long have you seen Zhu'er? How can you be so sure?"
"I once read a medical book on difficult and complicated diseases. It recorded an article about deaf-muteness. Most people who suffer from muteness are also unable to hear."
"There is nothing wrong with the little princess's ears. This is why I guess that the little princess is not suffering from an ordinary mute disease. May I ask whether the little princess is becoming more and more disinterested in others as she grows older?"
Xian Fei tightened her grip around Yu Zhu and stared at Su Jin Yue, "How did you know that?"
"I have seen similar illnesses before. If the virtuous concubine trusts me, I can enter the palace to treat the little princess."
Thinking of Su Jinyue's words that she could detoxify him, and that he could see Yuzhu's symptoms today, Xiao Duo spoke up for her.
"Aunt, since the imperial physician has no solution, why not let Miss Su give it a try? Maybe she can really cure the little princess."
Originally, Concubine Xian was still hesitating, but after hearing what Xiao Duo said, she looked at Su Jinyue and said, "Okay, I will believe you this time!"
"If you cure it, I will reward you handsomely!"
Su Jinyue kowtowed to thank Concubine Xian, "Your servant thanks Concubine Xian."
"Don't thank me yet."
Xianfei hugged Yuzhu and looked down at Su Jinyue, "If you can't cure it, I will punish you!"
"Yes, I understand."
Seeing that Su Jinyue was quite decent, Concubine Xian said, "Stand up. This palace has always been clear about rewards and punishments. You saved my daughter Zhu'er. Tell me what reward you want."
After Su Jinyue stood up, she hesitated for a moment and said to Concubine Xian, "Your servant...I really want to ask Concubine Xian for a reward."
Concubine Xian snorted, thinking that Su Jinyue was short-sighted. "Tell me, do you want jewelry or silver?"
"Neither." Su Jinyue said, "Could your Majesty the Concubine give me the lotus pods in this lotus pond as a reward?"
"What?"
Concubine Xian never expected that the reward Su Jinyue asked her for was actually the lotus pods in the lotus pond? !
She looked at the large lotus pods in the pond behind Su Jinyue, and looked at Su Jinyue with some disbelief, "You want the lotus pods in the lotus pond?"
"Yes." Su Jinyue looked at Concubine Xian with a radiant look in her eyes, "Is it okay?"
The virtuous concubine turned her head and glanced at her nephew, as if asking Xiao Duo whether the woman he was going to marry really had no problem with her brain?
Xiao Duo coughed lightly and touched the tip of his nose, "Aunt, you are not reluctant to let me go, are you?"
Concubine Xian rolled her eyes beautifully and said, "Thank you. Miss Su, you can pick as many lotus pods as you want from the lotus pond!"
After that, Concubine Xian held Yuzhu and was about to leave, "Langhua, find a few palace maids and eunuchs to help Miss Su."
"Yes, your majesty." Lang Hua beside Concubine Xian responded.
Su Jinyue's eyes lit up when she saw several eunuchs going into the water and picking a lot of lotus pods and bringing them ashore.
Xiao Duo looked on from the side and asked, "What do you need so many lotus pods for?"
"Lotus pods are good for headaches." Su Jinyue turned to look at Xiao Duo, "Taking it can calm the nerves. Fresh lotus pods are more effective."
Thinking of Su Jinyue's promise to cure his father's leg and his mother's headache, Xiao Duo raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm glad you still remember it."
Su Jinyue smiled and said, "Of course I remember. I dare not forget what I promised the young general."
Dare not forget?
Xiao Duo's dark eyes stared at Su Jinyue, little liar!
Feeling somewhat guilty at Xiao Duo's gaze, Su Jinyue looked away, "Young General, you don't have to stay here with me. Don't let me ruin your mood of appreciating the flowers."
"Oh, Miss Su, are you in such a hurry to get me out now?"
Su Jinyue looked at Xiao Duo and before she could speak, the man in front of her took out a black porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to her, "The wound on the back of your hand will not leave a scar if you use this."
Su Jinyue took the porcelain bottle blankly and said, "Thank you, General."
"Forget it." Xiao Duo turned around and waved his hand, "I won't be an eyesore to Miss Su anymore."
Watching Xiao Duo walk away, Su Jinyue lowered her head to look at the porcelain bottle in her hand. She clearly didn't mean that, so why did she suddenly become sarcastic?
Xiao Tao had the lotus pods collected and came to Su Jinyue, "Miss, it's almost time to go to the front. If we're not there before the banquet starts, I'm afraid the Madam will blame us."
"Yeah." Su Jinyue nodded, "Let's go."
In the Imperial Garden.
Jiang Qiuse deliberately tried to win over Su Zhiyao today, "Zhiyao, look at your demeanor, how can you compare to the one who just returned from your mansion!"
"Sister Jiang, you're joking." Su Zhiyao covered her lips and smiled, "Sister just brought me back from the farm. If I've offended you, I'm here to apologize to all the young ladies on behalf of my sister."
"Ouch." Jiang Qiuse said, "It's not as serious as you say. We can't afford to offend that person!"
When Su Zhiyao heard them belittle Su Jinyue and praise herself, her vanity suddenly swelled.
She looked at the group of young ladies from aristocratic families around her. She was the real rich lady. How could that bitch Su Jinyue be worthy of defiling this place!
"Stop talking now."
Su Zhiyao sighed, "Today, my sister wore inappropriate clothes and put on heavy makeup. She almost pissed off my mother to death."
After she finished speaking, she waited for these people to join in the laughter, but unexpectedly no one responded and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.
Su Zhiyao didn't know what was going on, so she looked at Jiang Qiuse, "What's wrong, Sister Jiang?"
They could not reconcile the words "heavily made-up" with Su Jinyue whom they met in front of the palace gate.
"Are you sure your sister is wearing heavy makeup?" asked one of the ladies.
Su Zhiyao nodded and said considerately, "That's why mother didn't let my sister come with us. So please be patient with my sister later."
As they were chatting, they heard some discussions in front of them, which drew their attention towards the front of the Imperial Garden.
"Whose girl is that? She's so pretty!"
"I don't know. It seems I've never seen it before."
At this time, there were more people in the Imperial Garden, and they were all attracted by the sound of discussion and looked towards the gate of the Imperial Garden.
Su Jinyue walked into the room wearing a cloak. A ray of sunlight happened to hit her, making her skin look even whiter. Her clear eyes only took a glance into the imperial garden, and the garden became a little quieter. She just stood there, so bright that people could not take their eyes away.
When Su Zhiyao saw Su Jinyue's face, she almost couldn't control herself and pounced on her and scratched her face!
"elder sister!"
Su Zhiyao gritted her teeth and called out "sister", then ran to Su Jinyue coquettishly and held her arm, "You're finally here. I was worried that I couldn't see my sister anywhere, and I was afraid that something had happened to her again."
