Chapter 633: Pharmacy and Preserving the Pregnancy (Part 3)



Su Xiaoxiao understood what it meant. It was not toxins that were released, but a natural anesthetic that could paralyze the human nervous system, causing shock and organ failure.

Her little yellow pill can detoxify, but it can't fight anesthesia.

In this case, isn't Wei Ting in danger? Perhaps Su Xiaoxiao took Ling Yun's words to heart, and she actually had a nightmare that night.

She dreamed of the Tianshan Mountains covered with snow, a vast expanse of white that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Wei Ting, wearing a robe made of animal skins, braved the fierce snowstorm and finally found a plant of Gastrodia elata. He picked it and walked back, but not long after he walked, he fell down forever in the ice and snow.

However, this is not the only bad news.

Su Mo didn't see Wei Ting coming back, so he secretly left the camp to look for him. On the way, he was ambushed by people from Beiyan. The tragedy of Shattered North Pass five years ago happened again, and Su Mo was unable to return.

Qin Canglan went to collect his body, but he never expected that there was black gunpowder hidden on the body.

Su Xiaoxiao woke up suddenly.

Cold sweat broke out on her back, and when she calmed down, she realized that she was lying on the table in the pharmacy lounge.

"When did I come in?"

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, and thinking about the dream she had just had, she was still a little frightened. This should be just her worry, not something that would definitely happen.

However, the Snowland Gastrodia elata is indeed too dangerous, and Wei Ting is very likely to be poisoned if he goes to pick it.

It is certain that Su Mo will go looking for him later.

Su Xiaoxiao touched the red hairpin on her head and said, "For the sake of your birthday present, I will save you once."

Wait, birthday.

Her birthday was on the first day of the twelfth lunar month. November had passed and the pharmacy still hadn't given her any reward. Including the month in October when she was on the road, she hadn't received any reward for another two months.

The last time this happened, Wei Liulang’s prosthetic limb was replaced.

What kind of amazing thing is this time?

Su Xiaoxiao was full of anticipation. She glanced at the table and saw, indeed, two small medicine bottles.

She picked it up and took a look. It was a bottle of folic acid and a bottle of pregnancy protection medicine.

She was not feeling well at all.

After waiting for two months, this is it? This is it?!

Su Xiaoxiao is now a lady of imperial decree personally appointed by Emperor Jingxuan. People with imperial decrees cannot leave the capital at will. Yuwen Xi informed Emperor Jingxuan in advance about going to the Western Jin Dynasty, so the way was clear.

The situation this time was different. Zhuge Qing and Emperor Jingxuan had just had a falling out. If he told them directly that he was looking for medicine for him, Emperor Jingxuan would definitely not agree.

It takes a little trickery.

On a sunny afternoon, Su Xiaoxiao blocked Qin Yanran's way at the door of a jewelry shop.

Qin Yanran looked at Su Xiaoxiao unhappily: "What are you doing?"

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "Excuse me for a moment."

Qin Yanran said coldly: "I have nothing to say to you."

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows: "Liuye Hutong, Xu Qing——"

Qin Yanran's expression changed: "Get in the carriage."

Su Xiaoxiao got into Qin Yanran's carriage.

She didn't waste time talking to Qin Yanran, and got straight to the point: "That night I followed you to Liuye Hutong and discovered a terrible secret. Don't worry, I wasn't the only one there that night. There was another person who fought with your guards. Do you want to know who he was?"

Qin Yanran tightly grasped the handkerchief.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in the baby in your belly. Who his father is has nothing to do with me. I just want to make a deal with you. If you cooperate, I will tell you who discovered you that night."

Qin Yanran stared at her intently.

Su Xiaoxiao waved her hands: "Forget it, forget it. I'm a generous person. I'll tell you directly. It's Prince Rui Xiao Shunyang. He has already mastered your secret. The reason why he didn't reveal it is because it's not the right time to expose you. After all, there is no point in exposing you. It's more profitable to drag the entire Prince Liang's Mansion into the water."

Su Xiaoxiao continued: "But to me, it doesn't matter who is the emperor."

Qin Yanran looked at her warily: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly: "Ask King Liang to go to Beiyan to find medicine for Zhuge Qing, and take me with you, otherwise I will immediately expose you in front of the emperor!"

Qin Yanran's eyes flashed with doubt and entanglement: "How could King Liang listen to me?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "It depends on your ability. If you can't do it, I can only expose you."

At nightfall, Emperor Jingxuan had just finished reviewing memorials and was planning to sit in the Queen's palace.

Eunuch Quan came over in small steps: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Liang requests an audience."

Emperor Jingxuan said: "Xuan."

Xiao Duye entered the imperial study, bowed deeply to Emperor Jingxuan, and frankly stated the purpose of his entry into the palace: "Father, I have heard that Zhuge Qing needs another medicine, and this medicine is just outside Suibei Pass. I beg you to allow me to go to Suibei Pass to look for the medicine."

"Are you looking for medicine for Zhuge Qing?"

Emperor Jingxuan did not quite agree.

Zhuge Qing rejected his arranged marriage in public and even pulled out the Longquan Sword of the Western Jin Emperor, which clearly showed that he did not take him seriously as an emperor. Since he could not win him over, what did Zhuge Qing's life or death have to do with him? Xiao Duye knew that his father would not agree easily, and he had already thought of an excuse: "Father, I think Zhuge Qing can be won over. If marriage is not possible, we can try something else. We will give him a life-saving favor, and I don't believe he will not repay the favor. If he does not repay it, there is still the Western Jin Emperor to repay it, which is much more reliable than marriage."

Indeed, anyone can arrange a marriage. If they can give him a woman, why can't others do the same?

The grace of saving a life is different.

Emperor Jingxuan frowned and said, "You don't know medicine, what if you find the wrong one?"

Xiao Duye said with determination: "I don't understand, but there are people who do. I beg you to allow me to take Qin Su with me to Suibei Pass to look for medicine!"

The news that Prince Liang was going to look for medicine for Zhuge Qing spread quickly in the capital, and it was said that he would set out early the next morning.

Xiao Chonghua's current residence has been renamed Prince An's Mansion.

He sat in his study practicing calligraphy.

Jing Yi held the sword and moved back and forth on the chair.

He looked into the endless night several times, and lowered his eyes several times.

Xiao Chonghua picked up his pen and wrote the word "mountain": "Go if you want."

Jing Yi asked: "Where are we going?"

Xiao Chonghua said calmly: "Broken North Pass."

Jing Yi hugged the sword tightly: "I didn't say I wanted to go."

Xiao Zhonghua smiled faintly: "Really not going?"

Jing Yi was silent.

After a while, he asked, "What will you do if I go?"

Xiao Chonghua let out a long sigh, expressing the sadness of an old father who could not keep his son until he grew up.

He picked up the pen and wrote the word "rain": "You are not the only expert around me... You are old enough, it's time for you to do your own thing."

Just like an eagle spreading its wings and soaring high, one day it will grow its wings and fly to the farther sky.

Jing Yi has only one mission since he was a child, and that is to protect Xiao Chonghua.

This was given to him by his family, and naturally, he was willing to do so.

Today, he is still willing to sacrifice his life for his cousin, but he also wants to protect her.

Xiao Fangfangzi's high fever has subsided, and I'm starting to show symptoms. Didn't Omicron leave someone at home to cook?   I've written this chapter with all my might, please give me a monthly ticket o(╥﹏╥)o      (End of this chapter)
