A black-armored guard carried Zhuge Qing down along with his wheelchair.

The driver immediately held the umbrella above Zhuge Qing's head.

The rain was heavy, and a lot of rain still hit Zhuge Qing's thin body.

The black-armored guards hurriedly put a straw raincoat on him.

"No need."

He said.

The black-armored guard took the raincoat.

Without persuasion or hesitation, every black-armored guard absolutely obeyed the military order.

"Go in." Zhuge Qing said to the driver.

"Yes, sir."

The coachman pushed open the door opposite the Zhuyue Inn, and the black-armored guard pushed the wheelchair in.

…

The Western Jin Dynasty Palace was brightly lit.

The Emperor of Western Jin sat on a chair in the Hall of Supreme Harmony with a cold look in his eyes.

The young prince was diagnosed with smallpox after he developed a maculopapular rash yesterday. Before that, he had been treated for a cold.

Since this morning, his condition has taken a turn for the worse, and the Emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty has sent all the most experienced and skilled doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau over there.

What happened was that Doctor Zhang came back with a new prescription, saying that the young prince was still in critical condition.

Everyone understood that the young prince could not be saved.

Several princes stood by with worried looks on their faces. Of course, it was all a show for the Emperor of Western Jin.

The royal family has no brothers and sisters, so they don’t care about the life or death of Yuwenxi’s son.

The young eunuch reported: "Your Majesty, the judge of Chu Court has arrived."

Imperial Doctor Zhang came just now and said that the young prince's condition had deteriorated seriously and that he wanted to prescribe a new medicine to try.

Less than an hour had passed when Judge Chu came in person to report.

There is no way that the prescription worked. It came and went, and the medicine was not even brewed properly.

Then there is only one possibility left - the young prince is gone.

Emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty: "Announce."

Judge Chu stumbled in and tripped at the door.

His anxious look further confirmed their guess.

Oh, Yuwen Xi, your sickly son is finally going to die.

"His Majesty!"

Judge Chu bowed and saluted, his voice trembling.

The Western Jin Emperor gripped the armrests of his chair tightly and asked, "How is Yi'er doing?"

Judge Chu said in a trembling voice: "The young prince...his fever has subsided!"

The third prince raised his arms and cried out, "Father's Day—"

etc!

What did Judge Chu say? What did the high temperature go down? What happened to the fever? What went down? Did the sickly guy not die?

He is getting better?! All those who hoped for Yuwen Yi's death were frozen.

…

Su Xiaoxiao slept too late last night. When she woke up, Wei Ting and the three little kids were gone.

A pretty little figure came over: "Qin Su, are you awake?"

Su Xiaoxiao was slightly startled, looking at the face so close to her, and asked in a daze, "Little Princess?"

"It's me!" said the little princess.

Su Xiaoxiao slowly sat up: "Can you come out?"

"Yes!" The little princess nodded, "My brother's high fever last night has subsided, and His Majesty is happy, so he allowed me to go out and play!"

Thinking of something, she frowned slightly, "Mother and Moye can't come out yet."

"Is that so?" Su Xiaoxiao got off the bed. "Where are Wei Ting and Da Hu?"

The young princess said, "General Wei is out. He is afraid of waking you up, so he took Da Hu, Er Hu, and Xiao Hu to buy candied haws. Fu Su and Ah Fu are next door, and Xing Er is outside. Do you want to call them?"

This girl has been here for a long time and she has recognized everyone around her.

"No." Su Xiaoxiao finished washing, dressed neatly, and ate something simple.

"You should eat something too." She said to the little princess, "It's almost noon, you must be hungry."

The little princess sighed: "I can't eat it."

"Wait a minute." Su Xiaoxiao stood up and walked to the window.

The little princess thought Su Xiaoxiao was going to give her something else to eat, so she said listlessly, "I really can't eat anything..."

"I can't eat! I can't eat! I can't eat!"

A familiar voice suddenly sounded, and the little princess turned around with a start, looking at the little macaw that Su Xiaoxiao had called back from outside, and she was so excited that she almost cried: "Five Tigers!"

The five tigers flapped their wings and did splits in fear!

The five tigers were about to run away, but the little princess hugged them in her arms, strangling them until their eyes turned white and they were almost suffocated.

"Wuhu! I missed you so much!"

The little princess hugged Wuhu and stuck to him again and again, and Wuhu rolled his eyes again and again.

I’m almost out of breath. My life is over!

The young princess looked at Su Xiaoxiao with resentment: "Qin Su, why didn't you tell me yesterday that the Five Tigers were coming too?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Surprises should be given one by one."

The little princess asked, "Well, have the four tigers arrived?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head: "It's still small and can't walk that far."

It's impossible to lock it up in a carriage because it's not a two-month-old foal anymore.

"It doesn't matter. When I get a chance, I'll go to Da Zhou to see it! Right, Five Tigers?"

The little princess started to rub it again. Her mood improved and her appetite returned, so she ate a bowl of noodles.

Su Xiaoxiao still remembers going to buy medicine.

The young princess was familiar with Xidu, and there happened to be a good medicine shop nearby, so she took Su Xiaoxiao there.

Su Xiaoxiao went to the medicine cabinet in the lobby to select herbs in person. The little princess didn't understand this, so she sat quietly beside him, holding Wuhu.

Su Xiaoxiao occasionally looked back at her.

Who said this girl has a bad temper? She is obviously very well behaved.

"Girl, here are all the herbs you picked. Do you want anything else?"

"Do you have snow lotus?"

Snow lotus is cold in nature and can reduce fever.

"Girl, you came at the right time. There is one last box left."

"Shopkeeper, do you still have snow lotus at home?"

A young girl wearing pearl hairpins and jewelry walked over, followed by two maids and servants who were dressed in fancy clothes.

When the shopkeeper saw her style, he knew that she was of noble birth and he could not afford to offend her. However, they were doing business and could not damage their reputation.

He pointed at Su Xiaoxiao and said, "This girl wants the last box of snow lotus."

The girl turned and looked at Su Xiaoxiao. At first glance, she didn't have a very slim figure, but her face was incredibly beautiful.

She was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Girl, I'll pay double the price, can you give it to me?"

“Not for sale.”

"You can go to other shops. There is more than one pharmacy on this street."

"If other shops had it, you would have bought it long ago."

The girl choked.

This is life-saving medicine. Su Xiaoxiao will not use the young prince's life to make money.

The maidservant at the side took advantage of her power and said, "Do you know who my young lady is?"

The little princess came over with the five tigers in her arms, looking proud and said, "Do you know who I am?"

When the maid saw her, her face changed and she bowed: "Princess Xin."

The girl was not afraid at all. She smiled and said, "Oh, it's Sister Xin. I thought Sister Xin had been locked up in the mansion. Why? She's released now?"

It sounded as if the little princess was a criminal.

The little princess was so angry that her cheeks puffed up.

The girl smiled and said, "Don't be angry, Sister Xin, I'm happy that you can come out. I just don't know if Sister Xin wants to meddle in other people's business today, or -"

The little princess said unhappily, "This box of snow lotus is what I want! I bought it for my brother!"

The girl laughed sarcastically: "That sickly guy..."

The young princess's face immediately darkened: "Who are you calling sick? Believe it or not, I'll tell His Majesty!"

There was no trace of panic in the girl's eyes. She asked her servant: "What did I just say?"

The maid just now laughed and said, "The young lady didn't say anything, we didn't hear a word!"

The shopkeeper lowered his head, obviously not wanting to get involved.

The girl took two steps forward and said to the little princess with a smile, "Sister Xin, I bought this box of snow lotus for Mr. Zhuge. If you know what's good for you, give it to me. If Mr. Zhuge's old illness comes back and my father blames me, I'm afraid your Imperial Princess House won't be able to bear the consequences."

Su Xiaoxiao asked the little princess: "Who is she?"

The little princess said in a muffled voice: "My uncle's daughter."

Oh, the eldest prince’s daughter.

The girl reached out to take the snow lotus on the table, but Su Xiaoxiao took the box first: "What a coincidence, this box of snow lotus is what Mr. Zhuge asked me to buy."

The girl asked suspiciously, "Who are you to Mr. Zhuge? Would Mr. Zhuge let you buy snow lotus?"

Zhuge Qing is a counselor of the eldest prince's mansion, and it is obvious that he would not have anything to do with people from the princess's mansion.

Su Xiaoxiao opened her mouth and said: "I am his sister!"

We are only 5 votes away from breaking a thousand. The double monthly votes will be broken very quickly. Let’s break a thousand!
