A drop of blood slowly seeped from the tip of the index finger.
Wei Hong's face changed.
"master?!"
Song Xibai's brows relaxed slightly: "It's nothing, I just felt like I was poked by something."
Wei Hong slammed the box shut and said through gritted teeth.
"This servant knew the Crown Princess wasn't that kind-hearted!"
Fu Liu quickly ran to the inner room to fetch a medicine box to apply medicine to Song Xibai.
Song Xibai was amused by their appearance.

Before she could finish speaking, Wei Hong was horrified and, disregarding the difference between mistress and servant, quickly covered her mouth.

"This old servant had his men check it carefully three times and washed it twice. I think there should be no problem."
Despite saying that, everyone was still worried and invited Physician Sun over. Only after Physician Sun personally said that everything was fine did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
