In the carriage.
Princess Yuchang leaned slightly and leaned on the soft cushion, gently rubbing her temples with her hands, looking tired.
Nanny Hua glanced at Mingyu.
Mingyu immediately stepped forward and knelt beside him, "Your Highness, let me give you a massage."
Princess Yuchang nodded.
Nanny Hua hurriedly took out a chilled box from an inconspicuous bucket in the corner of the carriage, carefully pulled out a pill, and handed it to Princess Yuchang: "Your Highness, take the medicine first."
Princess Yuchang opened her eyes.
Seeing the black and red pill, her pretty willow-shaped eyebrows frowned slightly, but she finally opened her red lips, put the pill into her mouth, and swallowed it with the tea brought by Aunt Hua.
“The taste is a bit too strong.”
She frowned.
Aunt Hua handed over the candied fruit and said softly, "Your Highness, please be patient. I'll have them try to remove the smell as much as possible and find a way to make it more delicious."
"It still tastes the same no matter how you cook it."
Princess Yuchang said somewhat helplessly.
But the medicine seemed to be working quite well. As she spoke, the fatigue on her face faded, and even the fine lines around her eyebrows and eyes seemed to have smoothed out a lot...
"Go back and have someone look after that girl. Don't let anything happen to her."
Aunt Hua understood who the girl was and nodded respectfully, "I understand. I'll make the arrangements when I get back."
"But... Your Highness, does she believe you?"
Nanny Hua was Princess Yu's wet nurse, and was naturally trusted by the princess. She was also very clear about the princess's thoughts and intentions. Thinking of Yang Zhao's reaction just now, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
“I didn’t believe it at first.”
Princess Yuchang couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips when she thought of Yang Zhao's poor acting when he seemed calm on the surface but was actually so vigilant that he didn't even dare to let go of her niece's hand, and had to show his "anxiety" to her.
"She is very similar to her mother... intelligent and alert. When I see her, I can't help but think of her mother." That magical yet somewhat naive... stupid woman.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Hua couldn't help but curl her lips.
"Yes, it does look alike!"
It's really difficult...

Yang Zhao watched the carriage disappear completely from his sight before he lowered his head to look at the box in his arms.
The box is beautifully carved.
The outside is inlaid with various jewels, and you can tell at a glance how valuable this box is.
But what's inside the box...
But it is a very ordinary wooden carving gadget.
Anyone who sees a pile of broken wood carvings stored in such a valuable box would think that the collector must treasure the items in the box very much.
Yang Zhao gently stroked the gems on the box.
But his eyes were as cold as water.
"Best friend?"
As her fingers stroked the gems on the box one by one, a sneer unconsciously appeared at the corner of her lips.
"What?"
Xu Shu'er didn't hear clearly and turned to look at her.
Yang Zhao's expression instantly subsided. He raised his eyes and looked at her with a smile, saying, "I said you acted very well just now. You helped me a lot this time. I'll treat you to a delicious meal later!"
"A soup pot?"
Xu Shuer's eyes lit up.
The last time she was at Shen's house, she was amazed by the soup pot she ate in her yard.
I don’t know how the soup base and dipping sauce are mixed.
The taste is simply amazing.
She's still thinking about it!
"Mm! A soup pot."
"If you like it, I'll have someone write down the ingredients for you later."
Xu Shu'er was about to nod, but quickly shook her head: "Forget it, you'd better not write to me. I can't trust everyone around me now. I'm afraid that if I leak it to you later, it will hinder your ability to make money."
None of the maids and servants the Xu family gave her were loyal to her.
She was not completely at ease with the only girl who was still acceptable.
Yang Zhao was slightly stunned.
Then he couldn't help but laugh: "It's just a dipping sauce soup base recipe, it won't affect my income."
"Well, let's not do that."
Xu Shuer waved her hand: "If I want to eat in the future, I will go directly to the Marquis' Mansion to find you."
"It just so happens that my master just replied to my letter. He said he wouldn't be back for three months, but he told me about a special acupuncture method. I'll use it on Xier first."
"real!"
Yang Zhao couldn't help but feel happy.
"Don't worry, my master is very reliable. He said he would come back in three months, and he will definitely come back. During these three months, I can use acupuncture to regulate Xier's temperature. Then I can get twice the result with half the effort."
"Shu'er, thank you so much."
Yang Zhao rarely showed his emotions, but at this moment he couldn't help but reached out and grabbed her hand, expressing his sincere gratitude.
"You're so polite!"
"Xier calls me sister."
Xu Shu'er was a little uncomfortable with the sentimentality, so she quickly changed the subject.
"But speaking of which, Princess Yuchang's pulse was indeed quite strange. It seemed quite weak, but inexplicably there was a strong pulse path. Once you carefully probed it, it became weak again. This is the first time I've seen such a pulse pattern."
That's why she took the pulse for a while longer just now.
Just because of curiosity.
Unfortunately, I don’t know if it’s because her medical skills are not good enough, but she really couldn’t find out more.
Hearing this, Yang Zhao's eyes flickered slightly. Thinking of what Xi'er had said before, he asked her, "Besides the strange pulse, have you noticed anything else that's wrong? For example... the smell."
"odor?"
"Um."
Xu Shu'er shook her head. "There wasn't anything particularly special about the smell. The car just had some ordinary soothing fragrance, and the Princess also had the normal scent of powder. If I had to say something special... it would be that there seemed to be a slight smell of blood, very faint, almost inaudible."
She has a very sensitive nose, otherwise she wouldn't be able to smell it.
"Maybe someone is having their period!"
Xu Shuer guessed.
Bloody smell?
Yang Zhao couldn't help but look at Xier.
Xier was squatting on the ground not far away, staring intently at the ants moving things...
That focused look is so cute and adorable.
Xu Shuer looked in the direction and was immediately amused: "Xier..."
'Woof woof'
At this moment, Xiao Hei's barking suddenly sounded in the forest.
Yang Zhao and Xu Shu'er both instantly stopped smiling, and in tacit understanding, they quickly stepped forward and pulled Xiao Xi'er behind them...
In the outer forest.
It was barking at a tree.
As if he had caught a thief.
The way it bared its teeth and bared its bared bark was quite intimidating.
The figure in the tree stiffened slightly.
However, it wasn't because of Xiao Hei's 'ferocity', but because of its sudden barking, which exposed his position...
'Woof woof'
The man glanced at Xiao Hei under the tree, then looked at Yang Zhao and others who had heard the noise and called over the servants...
Planning to escape.
But Xiao Hei, this stupid dog, who knows where he got the courage of a tiger from, suddenly jumped up and bit the man's trouser leg with his mouth, tearing it...
